Super Typhoon Mangkhut intensifies as it heads for PH
At 3 a.m., Mangkhut was located 1,390 kilometers east of Luzon with maxium sustained winds of up to 200 kph and gusts of up to 245 kph. It is forecasted to move west at 15 kph.
The weather disturbance is expected to enter the country's jurisdiction within the day. It will be called "Ompong" once it enters PAR.
Senior weather specialist Chris Perez said Mangkhut has not changed its forecast track as it is expected to pass through the northern Luzon area.
Meanwhile, tropical storm Bajirat (local name Neneng) was last located 550 kilometers west of Basco, Batanes with winds up to 85 kph and gusts up to 105 kph.
It is forecasted to move west at 15 kph and will no longer have direct effect to the country.
The United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center has upgraded Mangkhut to a super typhoon.
Typhoon Mangkhut is feared to gain strength as it approaches the Philippine area of responsibility. The tropical cyclone will be named "Ompong" once within the country's vicinity.
The United States Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center records that "Mangkhut" has maximum sustained winds of 80 knots or 148 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 185 kilometers per hour as of Monday morning.
Forecast track of the cyclone shows that it is heading toward the northernmost tip of the country's water off northern Luzon by Friday.

Somewhere in between pretty Florence and chaotic Athens is the pretty chaotic city of Rome. I am a proud Athenian that now lives in a hole in Rome. What do I mean by hole? I literally mean hole, my house is so small, I can barely swing a cat in it, I bang my head, shins and knees at least a couple of times a day, and even though I often feel like "the hole" is out to get me, it's where I call home ( for now)! And let's not forget "the hole" is in Rome!!
I am not a blogger and I hardly ever write, (unless it's my grocery list) but when my good friend chryspa invited me on her blog I thought to myself if you have nothing to say about Rome you might as well shoot yourself, or something to that effect! So whoever wants to discover Rome with me, can come along for the ride… Any questions, any specific place you would like me to check out, just let me know and I will do my best to keep it interesting and as close to the real experience as possible. Oh and by the way, if you think that perhaps beauty should have its limits, that a kind of visual poverty often yields unexpected riches, this is the city that can prove you wrong.
"I sometimes fancy,that Rome–mere Rome–will crowd everything else out of my heart."

Track Listing
Wedding Dress
OCEAN -Rising Starr Remix- (CD only)
OCEAN -Less Vocal-
Wedding Dress -Less Vocal-
I was expecting THSK to release a summery pop song with OCEAN (because the cover art kind of showed it) but it seems they released another electro dance track and I couldn't believe they surprised with this one. It's a pretty solid song from them and I love hearing Changmin throughout the track, especially when he growls in the prechorus! Overall not bad!
2. Wedding Dress
As for the B-side, Wedding Dress takes things to a more slower tempo kind of track. I do like the mix of synths and piano together here and it keeps to the duo's R&B style in a nice way, but it reminds me of many songs from "TIME" in where it's poppy, but a bit serious in and around. I will say finally Changmin sounded good in the setting, but once again, it's not a song I'll probably return to (well unless it's on a future album).
3. OCEAN -Rising Starr Remix-
The CD only of course brings a remix of the A-side and it actually made the track even more electro than the original version which could only mean that I would end up paying more attention here and I like the changes the remixer did here. It gave the song a much darker tone and the beat is siiiick!!! It's definitely a strong remix for the group and I kind of prefer it more LOL.
Ahhh the first single after "TIME" and OCEAN turned out nicely. The leading track was a surprise in comparison with its title and art covers, but it seemed to fit the duo's energetic routines, but the remix definitely sounded SO much better. Wedding Dress is kind of your run-of-the-mill mid-tempo song from Tohoshinki so it kind of went by without much of an effect on me. Overall it's a good start.

DILLES BOTTOM — Although at least four years in the future, Belmont County officials have begun preparations for the planned $5.7 billion PTT Global Chemical ethane cracker that would fill nearly a 500-acre area from between the Ohio River and Ohio 7.
In April of 2015, Governor John R. Kasich announced that PTT Global Chemical (PTTGC), Thailand's largest integrated petrochemical and refining company, and its project partner, Marubeni Corporation, a Japan-based company, selected the site in Dilles Bottom, for the possible construction of a world-scale petrochemical complex, also known in the industry as an ethane cracker.
At the beginning of September, 2015, officials with PTT confirmed they would spend $100 million to conduct detailed engineering and design plans.
The proposed plant would crack ethane pumped from Marcellus and Utica shale wells into ethylene, which can be used to make plastics, textiles and pharmaceuticals.
Commissioner Matt Coffland said the county had previously been in the running for the Royal Dutch Shell ethane cracker which Shell officials ultimately agreed to take to Beaver County, Pa. He said county officials met with Shell in 2010. They were approached by PTT in September of 2013 to look at the site. Coffland said officials also showed company representatives housing, shopping, hospitals and schools.
At the December 9 Barnesville Area Chamber of Commerce meeting, Commissioner Coffland and Belmont County Port Authority Director Larry Merry were both confident that the project will move forward.
Merry said that if built, thousands of local construction jobs will be created. He said company officials were already meeting with the local labor groups.
Once built, those initial construction jobs would be followed by more high tech permanent jobs at the plant. Merry said company officials have also met with the deans of local colleges to help them develop programs now to help meet the jobs needs of the plant four years from now.
"So current high school seniors will be able to prepare themselves for those jobs," Merry said.
Commissioners have touted the "game-changing" affects the cracker plant will have on the area if built.
A final decision on the whether to build the facility may not be made by PTT officials until the end of 2016, however, firms such as Switzerland's INEOS and Paris' Technip SA have signed on to provide technology to the Asian company if it proceeds with the plant.
"As we garner national attention for our unprecedented economic growth, it is important to keep our best foot forward and continue to show that we have always been, and will remain, a great place to live, work and raise a family. We are excited to welcome this new project and the jobs and economic impact it will create," Commissioner Ginny Favede said.
"Belmont was selected as the number one potential site for this project based on our area's skilled workforce and qualified trades people. The good men and women of Eastern Ohio are ready and willing to assist. Since day one, we have made Belmont County's economic competitiveness one of our highest priorities and that effort and commitment are paying off."

Are you, like me, addicted to the Olympics? If if you're not, don't run away – the story isn't just for Olympiphiles. (Yes, I totally made that name up. Your point?) During the women's gymnastics we were treated to the sideshow that was Aly Raisman's parents, bobbing and weaving and holding their breath while she performed. If you didn't see it, you probably won't because the IOC is sensoring it to death on the web. But, I digress.
I mention Aly's parents because I think I can finally relate, in a small way, to their reaction to watching one of the most important performances of their daughter's career. After all of the years of practices that they transported her to and from, the money they invested in her lessons and her gear, the time they spent traveling to and from meets, they were forced to sit in the stands, helpless to the outcome of those few short moments in time. They were powerless. There would be no do-over. No amount of consoling would erase her disappointment if she failed. This was the OLYMPICS! Her whole life's training came down to mere minutes. I finally get that…on a much smaller scale.
This is our oldest, Simon. He's got two real passions in life – boy scouting and golf. This is a photo of him last Summer, heading out to his league practice. Golf is his thing, and he's had his eyes on the middle school golf team for a couple of years now. This week, the time finally came to try out for those coveted spots – only about a dozen. We've invested our time and money into prepping him for this week. Clubs aren't cheap. Of course, it was time to get new ones (they grow if you feed 'em) right before try-outs. Green fees, lessons and leagues aren't free. He's done chores and even got a summer job to raise the money to help with expenses.
Try-outs began on Monday and continued through yesterday. Each day, 2:30-5:30pm for four days. Then, one of us would pick him up just hoping and praying that he'd made the cut. Always playing the role of supporting parent, encouraging him while bracing him for the blow that would come if he were cut. He was so sure of himself. We were figuratively bobbing, weaving and cringing, Raisman-style.
Then, finally the news came yesterday…Simon made the team! Hard work paid off! We are so proud of his dedication to working at it in 90+ degree heat, his willingness to do the not-so-awesome jobs that earned him the money and his overall attitude through the whole week. He's really looking forward to practices and meets.
Of course, there's a lesson in all of this. Happiness is fleeting. There's pure joy in teaching your kids about dedication and hard work. There's joy in listening to your son tell you how he prayed that God would be with him in try-outs and sharing Bible verses with him like –
Deuteronomy 31:6 – "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you."
There's pure joy in knowing that you can give your child the tools to be successful and then watching what they can do with them.

You are all that you seek. You, the true identity are a divine intelligence, an eternal light of magic and wonder. You have temporarily forgotten this great truth due to your immersion in creative materiality. You are not what you appear to be. You are much more. I know of that which I speak because the sense of spiritual sight views your true identity shining through. The Eye of God sees, feels and knows with a certainty that you are divine, eternal and pure creative energy. What I witness holds truth whether you are actively seeking truth or not.
You and I are brothers and sisters of Light. We are individual lights of the One Great Light. We vibrate as a result of Omnipresence, Omnipotence and Omniscience. All exist as our original nature eagerly waiting for us to place our personality-ego aside allowing the inner splendor to simply BE. You are that which you yearn for. The Light is you. Trust in these words when I say that if you discipline your thinking mind, emotions and body through the changing of habits, attitude and an unswerving faith, you will awaken to an all embracing Reality. Intuitively, you already know this about yourself.
You have the power to be conscious of a sublime Reality now. Ask only for truth. Seek only God. Relax, breathe and meditate silently and secretly allowing Spirit to feel, speak and act through the thick covering of the sleep of forgetfulness. Love and respect your body temple. If you ignore the body and the wandering mind, you will fail to experience the exquisite power of God functioning through density. You will mistakenly prevent and separate the struggling lower forces of the physical from the blessings of the higher forces of God's presence. Isn't it time to emerge out of hiding and actualize the Kingdom in your every day coming and going?
Recognize that the greater your awakening to the original pure and true nature and your efforts to willingly express it, the greater your awareness and brilliance will manifest here in matter. Spirit manifests through a willing intelligence. Give the entirety of consciousness to Source. Surrender your lower nature to your higher Essence. Apply will, reason and love in claiming your true identity. Allow the inner wonder and power of the divine to direct your spiritual awakening. Willingly accept and thankfully pass through orderly steps to lovingly activate the energy of God already existing within. As you continue to ascend in consciousness and feel and know God as a tangible and loving reality, you will easily recognize and hold dear the divine presence within all life. It is that easy to consciously connect and live in the beauty, love and joy of God.

Allegheny County fires employee suspected of stealing salt
An Allegheny County employee suspected of stealing rock salt from county buildings in downtown Pittsburgh has been fired.
Spokeswoman Amie Downs confirmed the termination Wednesday and said it came after the investigation of an anonymous tip received by the county manager's office.
Downs said that 16 bags of salt were unaccounted for after the investigation. She did not say at which facility the salt thefts occurred.
The county said policy prohibits officials from identifying the employee, but other sources within county government identify him as Jim Clair, a building maintenance manager.
Downs said the terminated employee had worked for the county for 39 years, most recently as lead custodial team manager.
No criminal charges have been filed against the employee.

Cassini yet again. :)
NASA's Cassini spacecraft zoomed in on Saturn's A ring, revealing narrow, detailed structures that get even finer as the cameras' resolution increases. Even at this level of detail, it is still not fine enough to resolve the individual particles that make up the ring.
High-resolution images like this help scientists map the fine structure of Saturn's rings. Features less than a half a mile (one kilometer) in size are resolvable here. But the particles in the A ring typically range in size from several meters across down to centimeters, making them still far too small to see individually here.
Don't want this mission to end. Have to put in another. :)
The wavemaker moon, Daphnis, is featured in this view, taken as NASA's Cassini spacecraft made one of its ring-grazing passes over the outer edges of Saturn's rings on Jan. 16, 2017. This is the closest view of the small moon obtained yet.
Daphnis (5 miles or 8 kilometers across) orbits within the 42-kilometer (26-mile) wide Keeler Gap. Cassini's viewing angle causes the gap to appear narrower than it actually is, due to foreshortening.

This Tuesday is actually pretty much a Monday. At least in that yesterday, Monday Dec 26, was "Second Christmas Day" in Denmark and, as such, a national holiday. So the work week started this morning.
It is a very quiet work week – skeleton crews everywhere. Well, everywhere possible of course – retail's back in force for Christmas gift returns and annual sale kickoffs today and the essential mechanics of society obviously also runs steadily and reliably as ever. Y'know – hospitals, care for the elderly, police, firemen etc. etc. – are all there and ready. For which we should always remember to be grateful!
On my own wee square of turf, spending most of the last two weeks more off than on due to a handy little selection of infections, I'll spend two of the four days this week at work instead of, as intended, as days off. But hey – at least I get two days of enjoying morning motorways with just about no traffic whatsoever!
And the picture at the top is just about me having made the most of all that downtime and arriving at my first Civ VI win 😀
A very Happy New Year and the best wishes for 2017
to all of you from all of me!

Design that makes life simpler and more comfortable is a hallmark of Scandinavian style—and that of ASKO, a company renowned the world over for their quality home and kitchen appliances.
It requires finesse to bring Scandi style to life through ASKO's range of products, a responsibility that lies with the company's Global Design Manager, Jon Carlehed.
For Carlehed, it starts with understanding people's holistic needs.
"It's about creating an environment that feels ideal for you – the people who live in a space. Take a kitchen for example, it's the heart of the home, and the design must support your everyday living," he said.
Carlehed has overseen the development of many of ASKO's most admired white goods and kitchen appliances over more than 10 years with the company—the last four as the global lead managing a team of four designers. Yet he still recalls the early days of his internship at ASKO.
"I sat in the corridor of the marketing department trying to remember all the names of the different machinery models—and the names of my colleagues," he said.
"Before I started to work at ASKO, I perceived them as a very serious company, very engineering-heavy, with a long tradition of building sturdy machines in an aware way."
It was a change of pace for Carlehed. As a young man he had travelled, done part of a psychology degree, and worked in video production, before deciding to study design. However, his deep interest in people and designing for a purpose was in alignment with ASKO's approach.
Following his internship, Carlehed spent six years working as an industrial designer in ASKO's research and development team before being asked to take charge of ASKO's Design Centre.
"At the time there were other structural changes, and our product portfolio increased, with new colleagues recruited to meet the demand. It was a fun but challenging time," he said.
"Since I've worked at ASKO it has has grown more international—in terms of our market share—but from a design perspective too, it went from from being focused on local materials and suppliers to working with a large network of people all over the world.
"It feels like luxury to be living in the countryside in Sweden working with the world as a playground."
An important aspect of the job is to listen to customers worldwide, Carlehed explains.
"Working as the Global Design Manager at ASKO means that you are communicating a lot: with end consumers; all the way through the manufacturing chain; and with our retailers. Fortunately, I like meeting people."
He said translating needs into products people love to use requires a balance between function and aesthetics.
"If we only talk about the functional values of the kitchen then logistics, clean-ability, workspaces, and storage are important factors. If we then start to look at the emotional values, it can become an endless list depending on whom you ask—but as a proponent of Scandinavian design I would say that ambience is most important."
He believes Scandinavian design has been popular worldwide because it helps to create a home that energises and relaxes it occupants.
"Scandinavian interiors are warm and inviting in terms of the colours, shapes and materials. That reflects the fact it was developed by people who spend most of the year inside their house, because the climate doesn't allow anything else!
"It's also a reaction against busy lifestyles and a cluttered home. When you get home you do not want your home environment to steal energy from you. A home with less visual stimuli supports a minimalist philosophy."
Carlehed says making everyday life easier is partly why Scandinavian design originated back in the early 1900s. Living conditions in Scandinavia at the time were some of the worst in Europe, with a conservative and hierarchical society and few women's rights.
"A few key pioneers started to advocate for women and children and within decades there were significant changes. Women could vote and also started to work, which meant a double income for each family.
"The government supported this through well-structured day care for the children and programs aimed at planning an "ideal home" that was optimised for efficiency and busy working parents.
"These programs gave rise to Scandinavian design's visual expression. By the 1950s, Sweden was one of the wealthiest countries in Europe and at the same time Scandinavian design peaked.
"Today the elegance, quality and affordability of Scandinavian design is perceived by the rest of the world as proof of Scandinavia's democratic and socially progressive societies."
Scandinavian design continues to provide a template a home that tempers the onslaught of modern life. It's something Carlehed understands all too well: his family life comprises two full-time working parents and three kids under 10 years old.
"Every week I run ten to fourteen loads of wash and around ten cycles with the dishwasher per week. In my home, appliances truly save a lot of time and hassle.
"The refrigerator and the induction hob are my best friends in the kitchen. On weekdays the induction hob makes it easy to cook something quickly, but be very exact and have full control of the result.
"A simple piece of meat with steamed vegetables is my go-to dish but for the kids it's not uncommon for me to make meatballs, potatoes and lingonberry jam."
Ensuring ASKO's solutions continue to make for a convenient and cosy home means Carlehed will continue to spend a lot of time talking to customers. Recently his work has focused on how ASKO products should adapt in response to the digital revolution.
"Our customers deserve flexible, but easy-to-use interfaces. But digitisation is connected to brand perception, so we are thinking carefully about how we want the interaction to be set-up and conducting user tests," he said.
"For ASKO it's a core activity—understanding our consumers. They are our inspiration and our reference point as we strive for excellence."

Hey guys! I had one comment come from Derek, who found me through Idolminded. So welcome to Happy Disco!
Hello…I am a reader of idolminded, which brought me to this blog. I really can't thank you enough for bringing such a well written and thoughtful article to light regarding this completely idiotic scandal. Here's the deal, and maybe this will help people understand some things a little better:
First, Perfume is not anti-gay or anti-lesbian or anything of the sort. How can they be when they work with people in these communities on a regular basis? I believe to be a fact (of course whether it is true or not I wouldn't know unless I actually KNEW Perfume personally, but please follow my logic for a moment here…). I've seen virtually every single interview and behind the scenes programs released by the Perfume camp and TV stations since 2006, when Perfume first came onto the Japanese national media map. I have followed them religiously and consider myself to be one of their biggest fans. I have seen them, REPEATEDLY, work with, smile with, joke with, and be friendly with MANY MANY openly gay Japanese celebrities in all the aforementioned interviews and behind the scenes docs! There isn't a single shred of anti anything by them! And if there was, trust me, they wouldn't show that to the general public no matter what!
That leads me to my next point…they are Showa style artists, meaning they conduct themselves in a manner that has bordered mostly on being stoic and unaffected by the world around them. They have been virtually perfect up until this point and though they don't consider themselves as Jpop idols but rather J-artists, they still have even kept close their personal relationships with men out of the spotlight. The point I'm trying to say by sayiing all of this is that they wouldn't DARE dream of committing career suicide by exposing anything hateful about their personalities. They've worked too hard for the past decade plus…do you really think A-chan would say something purposefully demeaning, even if it was to a gaijin who put her in an impossibly awkward spot to begin with?
That brings me to my final and most demanding point to consider about what A-chan said. She was talking about the whole PEOPLE WHO ARE NEITHER because she was simply emulating her idol AIKO. Now if you don't know who AIKO is, go look her up. You'll see that AIKO popularized this type of affectionate statement towards people who bend genders and what sexuality means…AIKO used to use this in her call and response at live shows. A-chan has said many times that AIKO is her idol…wouldn't it make sense that she was borrowing this phrase from somebody she and the whole of JAPAN has accepted as a successful J-artist? Think about it. A-chan didn't read anymore into that statement beyond the fact that she was echoing somebody she looks up to, and AIKO has talked about how she made this statement to be one of LOVE towards gays and lesbians and gender benders/transvestites, not one of hate. What I believe happened here, consequently, is just a misunderstanding of culture. I mean, for crying out loud, in Japan a bi-racial kid is referred to as a "halfie!" Does that mean that Japanese people think of bi-racial people as only half humans? But to the outside and stupid eye, people would construe this as offensive, which is what happens when you take it out of the cultural context of Japan and its usage of language.
I am married to Japanese woman. We have a HALFIE child. We don't think she's half-human. My wife reminds me everyday of the cultural differences between me and her (I'm a white Italian male). She says things that aren't really acceptable in America but I know what she means completely from being around her and from living in Japan like I have done several times in my life. Yes, it's true that Japan is a bit behind on the times with SOME issues regarding sexuality and LGBT themes, but on the other hand, I don't see too many American shows with gays, transvestites, and cross-dressers on an everyday basis like I do in Japan's variety shows. I think it's really amazing that people had ANY reaction at all to this comment by A-chan…it shows a lack of education and open-mindedness by those who didn't take five minutes to do some research and look at all the facts surrounding the three girls from Hiroshima and the country they come from. If people DID do research, they would've seen, very quickly, that the Perfume girls are the LAST people on Earth who probably want to destroy their hard-earned thirteen plus years of work in a single statement, intentionally or otherwise. And for the record, I have literally HUNDREDS of gay friends, and many of them who I showed this article to said they had absolutely ZERO problem with what A-chan said, both with the GIRLFRIEND comment and also with the whole NEITHER thing. They found it simply a misunderstanding and some were actually MAD that the couple put A-chan in a position where she had to comment on another couple's relationship…something she couldn't POSSIBLY know anything about. Meh.
One final note…I will be at the Tokyo Dome supporting Perfume on Christmas Eve AND Christmas night. I am flying 15 hours and spending over 6 thousand dollars just to see them. I've saved up so much money for this once in a lifetime experience. I love them with all my heart and have been a fan since 2006. I know I don't know them personally, but I feel in my heart I can honestly say that this comment by A-chan was taken WAAAAY out of context and also completely misunderstood. And I bet if you asked A-chan today how she honestly felt about gays and lesbians, she would smile and say that she LOVES THEM JUST AS MUCH AS SHE LOVES EVERYONE IN THE WORLD. I would bet my life on it.
First off, while I definitely agree that I don't think Perfume is in anyway being malicious or hateful, that it is possible to be homophobic while still spending time with gay people and the LGBT community. That's why you hear a lot of people going "oh, I have a black/gay/etc friend;" it's so easy to use this to assume you're progressive (when you're not). That said, the case is a little different in Japan, where things still have a long way to go on the LGBT front, so it is a bit of a victory if Perfume is in fact being openly supportive of those individuals.
I also don't think they would intentionally commit career suicide, but I was a bit surprised at how blunt they were able to be. That said, since the article was originally published in English, I do wonder how much of the meaning was lost. It's the type of thing where it makes me inclined to be willing to give Perfume the benefit of the doubt. I was surprised at their bluntness, but if I read the Japanese I wonder if I wouldn't consider it blunt at all.
As for the saying coming from aiko, I agree that does give it a lot of perspective. That's why I linked those Perfume City posts; it was something that made me think, beyond what the other English-articles had been saying. However, I don't think that's necessarily an excuse. For example, I love comedy. I follow some comedy podcasts, and I watch stand-up for comedians I like. But say I repeated some jokes that had homophobic undertones, especially if I didn't immediately cite the source. It would be easy to go "Oh, so and so said it first," but it doesn't change that I said it, or that I implicitly agree with it. I mean, it's a tenuous situation at best, and I do think that aiko and A-chan both mean well with using it. I just don't see "aiko said it first" as an argument I agree with.
Another thing is the whole concept of intent. Yes, I agree that they both intended the best. Does that necessarily mean that they're "off the hook?" I would argue no. I could go on for hours and hours about authorial intent in regards to fictional works (I identify pretty strongly with New Criticism, which almost entirely disregards what the intent of an author is), but I'll keep things simple here. Intent speaks a lot about the author, or what aiko/a-chan meant, but not a whole lot about what was actually said. I could say something I thought was in support of the LGBT community, but if I used a homophobic slur in place of a more acceptable term, it would still be a pretty bad statement. That said, the thing that makes me accept this the most is the fact that gay Japanese fans have embraced it. I still think using "neither" is a bit suspect, but if it's something they can embrace it makes it a bit better for me.
As for halfie, I think it's a bit different. Racism is still very prominent in Japan, though I would argue that racial tensions are highest between Japan, South Korea and China. I'm a lot less familiar with the term "haafu" in context, but, according to wikipedia, " The label emerged in the 1970s in Japan and is now the most commonly used label and preferred term of self-definition." That last thing is the most important thing to me. Preferred, I'm assuming by other biracial people. It reminds me of the use of the word 'queer' in Western LGBT circles. While it originally had a negative connotation, it was reappropriated and is now a very common, acceptable umbrella term for people who identify somewhere in the LGBT world.
I agree that there are cultural differences, and that the US is hardly better. I'd LOVE for there to be more diversity on primetime TV, and I don't think the US does have that great of a track record on the subject. One of my favorite shows, Once Upon a Time, recently introduced the first LGBT character on the show, and people freaked out. My heart broke a little when I heard that an actor I like, Sean Maher (from Firefly) was told he couldn't be openly gay in Hollywood because it would hurt his chances of getting some leading man roles. I also think that Japan has surprisingly good laws for trans* people. There's good legal precedent, but there is also a very big stigma. But that's true with the US as well. In criticizing Perfume, I don't think anyone is saying that the US is much better. I don't think the Japanese entertainment world is that open to LGBT people, to be honest, but things are very slowly improving in both Japan and the US.
Ultimately, though, thank you for your comment. While I don't think we necessarily saw eye to eye on everything, I do think we agree on the basics: that A-chan didn't mean anything negative; she had good intentions.

The year 2018 will bring a series of signals of supposedly imminent economic shocks in China just as most years have done since the 2008 global financial crisis.
But like earlier warnings of economic collapse, a hard landing, a banking crisis and a real estate crash, the worst forebodings will not materialize. The state-capitalistic model will be able to cope in its way with high debt levels, systemic risks, currency uncertainties and other threats, although they will undoubtedly lead to bouts of market turmoil.
However, this benign scenario of warding off immediate dangers should not conceal a deep longer-term risk faced by China under its increasing imperial leader that is likely to limit its growth and evolution as a global power.
This springs from a fundamental contradiction between the political mindset of Chinese President Xi Jinping and his country's evolving social and economic needs to achieve its potential. For Xi, as he again made clear at the Chinese Communist Party congress in October, it is vital to tighten the party's control, stretching it beyond political rule to the economy, society and the legal system with himself at the center. The inclusion by the congress of "Xi Jinping Thought" in the party constitution means any criticism of him is equivalent to an attack on the party that holds him as personifying the nation. This means that any dissenter, in effect, is a traitor deserving punishment -- as was the case under the old imperial governments.
The extreme regime stiffening this year might lead one to conclude that Xi and his colleagues think their leadership is under imminent threat. But that is far from the case. As his mastery of the congress showed, Xi has established himself firmly as the "core" and did not have to name a successor, leaving himself without an alternative power source in the politburo and creating the possibility of him staying on for a third term in 2022.
The internal security system is as strong as it has ever been. The economy, still key to the communist party's claim to legitimacy, performed better in 2017 than had been generally expected, with estimated growth of just under 7%. Consensus forecasts for 2018 predict more of the same, with GDP growth of around 6.5%. Though data is scarce, protests and strikes appear to have declined in number.
Acknowledging in his congress speech that development had been "unbalanced and inadequate," Xi pointed to policies to reduce the glaring income and regional disparities that have accompanied growth. Environment teams have been dispatched with enhanced powers to reduce pollution - a sign of intent even if the effects have involved shortages of heating from coal-fired power stations in the depths of winter. The centralized authority Xi has built up in the past five years offers some prospect of getting around the local authority logjams that have blocked edicts from Beijing in the past.
Meanwhile, just as Xi was seeking to enlarge China's global influence, along came Donald Trump to open doors for Beijing to walk through as it sought to build up regional links in the face of uncertainty about U.S. intentions and put itself forward as the champion of globalization and fighting climate change. Foreign governments have seemed so relieved at the emergence of an anti-Trump that they have held back from pointing to the reality of China's tariffs, preferential policies, joint venture requirements and environmental crisis.
A glaring paradox
So we are left with a paradox. China appears as stable as it has been for some time. Although the measures decreed by the Xi administration are subject to the usual implementation provisos, there is a greater recognition than in the past of the challenges the country faces. The drive for centralized authority could break through the vested local and sectoral interests that were encouraged by the Deng Xiaoping system of devolved development in the 1980s and 1990s, but which ended up enhancing local interests, fostering misallocation of capital on a vast scale and protecting inefficiencies.
One might think it would be time for a more relaxed, inclusive style of rule while the Xi administration accepts a lower and more sustainable growth pattern, addresses social and economic disparities, makes a serious bid to clean up the air, water and arable land, renders cities more liveable and generally improves the quality of life for China's citizens. But Xi's chosen route to "socialist strengthening" involves instead a tightening of the regime. This reflects the essentially political approach to running China which permeates his policies even when they involve increasingly complex areas of the economy and society. Having spent his whole adult life rising through the hierarchy of the monopoly party and devoted the past five years to increasing its grip, he has never been a man for liberalization, whatever some people imagined when he took the top job at the end of 2012.
In keeping with this mindset, the anti-corruption campaign is to be extended from party members to all officials employed by the state, which presumably includes university teachers as well as civil servants. In keeping with the regime's attachment to the rule by law (rather than the rule of law), suspects can be held for six months without access to a lawyer. Pilot schemes are taking place for what is euphemistically called a "social credit" system which would collect "big data" on citizens to determine their job, housing and other prospects. At the same time, repression of human rights lawyers continues, security has been stepped up against Muslims in the big western territory of Xinjiang, and Tibet remains under lockdown.
This points to the longer-term reason why China's development will be limited by its political system and the importance attached by the leadership to its preservation. The economy has outlived the relatively simple equation of the first generation of growth combining cheap labor, cheap capital and strong export markets. Labor and capital are no longer so cheap and export demand is not what it used to be.
China needs to move up the value chain, boost productivity, develop its own technological drivers and create world brands. That requires innovation and free-ranging, globalized thinking. The creation of heavyweight "national champions" as promoted by the leadership will not be the answer. It is worth noting how the go-go BAT sector (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) operates under state regulation that excludes significant foreign competition. Nor will new thinking be helped by the politicized constriction of approved thought to ward off nefarious "Western" notions such as universal values, democracy and an independent legal system.
Slowing growth and the correction of income and wealth disparities will test the state-led model Xi is promoting. But rather than relaxing the authority of the one-party state, Xi will continue to see it as the regime's shield and the path to his "China Dream" of national strengthening and rejuvenation.
China will not collapse. It will remain a major global player seeking equality with the U.S. and jockeying with Japan. A serious economic crisis will not materialize for several years at least. The benefits of materialism may continue to buy off social discontent. But the long-term contradiction between the urge for control rooted deep in the Communist Party's DNA and the loosening of politically driven authority that would free the country's potential will be the greatest brake on its evolution.
Jonathan Fenby is the author of nine books on China, most recently, "Will China Dominate the 21st Century?"

The Impossible Has Happened: The Life and Work of Gene Roddenberry, Creator of Star Trek by Lance Parkin
This book reveals how an undistinguished writer of cop shows set out to produce 'Hornblower in space' and ended up with an optimistic, almost utopian view of humanity's future that has been watched and loved by hundreds of millions of people around the world.
Along the way Lance will examine some of the great myths and turning points in the franchise's history, and Roddenberry's particular contribution to them. He will look at the truth in the view that the early Star Trek advanced a liberal, egalitarian and multi-racial agenda, chart the various attempts to resuscitate the show during it's wilderness years in the 1970s, explore Roddenberry's initial early involvement in the movies and spin-off Star Trek: The Next Generation (as well as his later estrangement from both), and shed light on the colourful personal life, self-mythologising and strange beliefs of a man who nonetheless gifted popular culture one if its most enduring narratives.
I didn't know much about Gene Roddenberry other than the basics, so I was interested in learning more about the man and the history of my favorite futuristic universe. While Parkin didn't have a relationship with Roddenberry, he obviously did extensive research and cited all of his information thoroughly. I was impressed with the amount of detail, all backed by other published works or recordings. This is not a book that idolizes Roddenberry or makes him a villain, but seems to be an honest look at a human man. And this is a detailed journey of the early years of Star Trek to The Next Generation. There was some jumping around, but for the most part the timeline flowed well. I appreciated this candid biography and enjoyed learning more about Roddenberry and the others who worked so hard on both the Original series and Next Gen.

Posts Tagged 'drinking'
A difficult day.
Posted March 4, 2013on:
I went out with some people from work last night, had a few drinks and a bit of a laugh. It was an okay night – nothing special, but it's nice to get out and do something, isn't it? I wasn't really drunk, just a bit tipsy, and I got home at a reasonable hour and went straight to bed. Read the rest of this entry »
A little better
Posted October 26, 2009on:
Perhaps I have turned a corner.
A tiny, tentative, temporary step in the right direction.
I got a good four or five hours' sleep this morning, which feels like a luxury. And then I spent quite some time lying around, doing nothing, being nothing.
And then a little thought skipped into my brain – and it feels so long since thoughts have skipped – and it said: Why not get out of bed today?
Well, I thought. Why not, indeed?
And I got up. And I got dressed. And I even left my room, the flat, the building. I went to my department and I bought some reading that I really should have bought a couple of weeks ago, but at least I have it now. And then, on a whim, I got on a bus and went to town.
It was, perhaps, a bit too much, a bit too soon. I felt very sick. Things were a bit blurry, and I was having a bit of trouble walking in a straight line. Actually, I came over a bit faint, a bit dizzy, in Waterstone's (a bit more extreme than the usual Waterstone's dizziness, the panic of I want these two books and they have '3 for the price of 2' stickers on them so I need to find a third but I don't want any of them but oh my god I HAVE to find one…etc etc etc). It was around about then that it occurred to me that it was over a day since I'd blankly, dully forced myself to eat anything, and almost as long since I'd remembered to drink. Which was, if I'm honest, a bit strange.
Well, then there was food, and drink, and since then I have felt considerably more solid, although still a little woozy occasionally, which I think is probably just the effect of so consistently not really sleeping.
Also, I got an email from my tutor, saying that because I missed a presentation I was supposed to give, I can make up for it by writing a short essay…not sure I'll actually be able to do it, let alone do it well, but it's nice of him to give me the chance, although at the back of my mind is a horrible, reproachful voice telling me that I don't deserve to have a second chance, because I lied, because I wasn't really ill, just tired, just lazy, just sad.
God, I am so fucking tired. The extra sleep of this morning didn't do me much good. To be honest, I feel like I'd need to sleep for a good four or five weeks in order to feel like I'd had enough sleep.
But I feel a bit more human. A bit more capable. And I suppose that's what I need to hang on to.
A blog of two halves.
Posted September 27, 2009on:
I have, I suppose, two main things to write about tonight. And it seems pointless to write about them as two separate posts. So I'm shoving them together, whether they belong together or not.
If you want to know what she'll be like when she's older, just look at her mother…
Posted April 26, 2009on:
I'm having to make a conscious effort to write this. I'm going back to uni tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll next have access to a computer in a place where I feel comfortable writing about myself. I'm having some difficulty finding the words, at the minute. I don't quite know how to say what I think. But I'll try.
It's been a pretty terrible weekend. Read the rest of this entry »

"Buddhists condense!" my friend Jacie told me as she held up her thumb and forefinger. With her other hand she showed me a large, four-version, parallel Bible. I understood what she was saying but didn't really know how to respond. I've thought a lot about it over the years.
God's omniscience can be hard to fathom. When we know that God exists but then hear this piece of information: "He knows all things" (1 John 3:20), we might assume that He doesn't need to hear from us about the trivial things in our life. "I mean, if He already knows…" When you think about it, how much of our life is trivial, mundane and routine?
And how do we make sense of the entire Bible as applied to our entire life?
Simplicity is the key.
In Luke's gospel (10:39-42), Jesus tells Mary that "one thing is needful" (hence the name of this blog). Sometimes I can get so caught up with the sheer volume of information and input in my life that I forget to sit at Jesus' feet and fellowship with Him. God is upholding all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). "All things" includes my life and my problems, my dreams and aspirations. So what do I have to worry about? Nothing. But if I don't share with Him the things that fill my day, then I'll get overwhelmed and miss not only Jesus, but also His miracles—great and small—that counter every worry. Jesus told Mary's sister Martha, "Mary has chosen that good thing". We need to do the same. Choose the simplicity of Christ and let Him share the burden of cares and worries that may be distracting you from fellowship with Him. Don't let yourself be deceived into carrying all of this stuff yourself (2 Corinthians 11:3).
I saw Jacie a couple of years later. We caught up then afterwards, I brought up her comment. I told her about how Jesus, in effect, summed up the entire Bible with this statement of simplicity: "Love God, love others."

- Brisnet.com is giving away their Ultimate Past Performances from Jan 15 to Feb 14; you can access them here. These pp's provide some information on sires and dam - average winning distance, mud and first-timer percentages; a brief rundown on the dam's foal history. There are more detailed jockey stats, such as his/her record with early speed types, or with this trainer over the last 60 days. They also point out a couple of angles - positive or negative - on each horse; for example, whether the trainer or jockey is hot or cold, or if the horse's figs are competitive with the rest of the field, or not. The BRIS pp's have included pace figures for some time; as we've mentioned, Randy Moss's pace figures for the Form are currently in BETA mode.
And then there's what I suppose is the main point of contention between the BRIS and Racing Form formats - the speed figures. The Beyers in the Form have become the standard in the industry, but I do know some who prefer the less subjective figures used by BRIS.
- Two three-year old debut winners for Darley at Gulfstream on Saturday. Came To Pass (Came Home) was a $350,000 juvenile purchase last February. Sent off as the 5-2 favorite from the difficult rail position in a seven furlong race, he broke bad, but rushed up for the lead and stayed there. He's out of an Easy Goer mare who is a half-sister to a UK stakes winner.
Mandurah is an AP Indy homebred out of a French stakes-winner by Machiavellian. He descends from the distaff family of champions Fantastic Light and Golden Attraction, as well as Cape Town and the ill-fated Funfair. The third choice at 5-1, Mandurah also overcame some early trouble to prevail, and note that both colts were piloted by Edgar Prado.
It was little surprise of course to read in the Philly Inquirer that Darley inquired about Hard Spun after his first win at Delaware. I suppose that the Sheikh would have a shot to finally win a Derby if he owned all 20 of the entrants; but fortunately, there are owners like Rick Porter who have the means, and the same burning desire to win the big race, to resist. Maybe.
"It's hard to get a really good horse," said Porter, who also owns 2006 Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Round Pond. "Am I tempted [to sell]? I think about it. I sit down, and think I better not sit down, or I might get tempted."The son of Danzig remained undefeated after blowing away a stakes field in his two-turn debut at Fair Grounds on Saturday. But he'll certainly have to improve on his final quarter clocking of 26.77 if he's going to be a Classics contender this spring. The Louisiana Derby is his next possible start.
"I second-guess myself, too....I think about what I should do with a sound mind. Should I sell? But my desire to have a really good horse steers me back away."
And Hard Spun brings back memories of High Limit, who also dazzled at Delaware as a juvenile before going on to win his first stakes try in Louisiana. As I mentioned recently, he was scheduled to stand at stud for $6,500 in Florida. So why did he show up on last Monday's Hollywood Park workout tab with a three furlong breeze in 37.80 seconds? It appears as if he's not quite ready for the easy life.

We are all witnessing the dramatic situations that refugees face in the worst refugee crisis since World War II. We have noticed that many people are wondering and asking how they can help. We might not be in the entry point of tens of thousands of refugees but ιn Cyprus too, we have refugees that fled from Syria and other countries of the Middle East and Africa and are struggling to survive and provide the necessary for their families. We can also do something to help in relation to immediate needs.
- Refugees in Cyprus are in need of certain things, among others, that if anyone could provide would be of great help for them. These include:
Shoes (preferably sneakers)
Children and baby clothing
Baby food and pampers
School supplies
School uniforms
Toys/books/drawing material
Hygiene products (sanitary pads/shampoo/soap/toothpaste/)
Baby furniture
You can bring them at Future Worlds Center, Promitheos 5, or contact email@example.com – email@example.com
- NGOs and groups that are active rely on donations to continue providing support. In these difficult times we do not expect something beyond capabilities but there are ways to help. Have a look at more info and ways that you can help in this aspect: Raise funds and awareness – Get involved as a company
In addition, these NGO's and groups could be in need of various items such as computers, printers and other office equipment, and furniture.
- We always have opportunities for persons who wish to volunteer. According to your skills you can offer some of your time to provide support in language lessons, administration, accounting, legal services, fundraising or mentoring. Our Humanitarian Affairs Unit offers a series of classes, workshops and support groups. Volunteers with ideas on offering/teaching a subject are welcome. See contact below.
- Get informed and inform. Getting to know the necessary information about the situation of refugees and asylum seekers is vital for the engagement in society in support of them and to protect them from racist and discriminatory practices. Follow us and other NGO's, as well as UNHCR, on our social media and websites, read critical news and commentary around the world and subscribe to our newsletters.
- The support and integration of the refugees is a social need that needs to be covered primarily by the state and its social services and not to be left just to private initiatives. Be critical of political efforts building a fortress Europe. Demand and expect more from the government, the state, the political parties and the European Union in regards to the above and exert pressure on these institutions any way you can. Be active in local or international anti-racist movements and push any labor union in your workplace to actively incorporate and empower any refugees that are employed there. Don't forget that the reasons that refugees flee their homes are often connected with the political, economic and military activities of our own European states and our own governments. Be critical of such policies and activities. Promote, inform and remind that every human being has a right to live and to seek refuge, to protect him/her self and his/her family.
Human rights are to be enjoyed by everyone and everyone can do something to ensure this. No one chooses to be a refugee.

EU agency may advise airlines adopt 2-person cockpit norm: source
[PARIS] The European Union's air safety regulator may advise airlines to ensure that two crew members are in the cockpit of passenger planes at all times, in the wake of a suspected suicide crash of a Germanwings airliner, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.
"It is one option currently being evaluated. If it happens it won't be a compulsory rule, but a recommendation," the source said.
Such a recommendation by the European Aviation Safety Agency would achieve quicker results than the lengthy process to produce a binding law. A number of airlines have implemented the rule since it emerged that a German co-pilot may have deliberated crashed the Germanwings airliner after locking himself alone in the cockpit.

For the uninitated or those who were in a coma in 2014, "Twitch Plays Pokemon" is an interactive version of the game series that is controlled by the Twitch chatroom window. Users enter commands like "left" and "up" to simultaneously play the game at once. It's chaotic and messy, but that's the appeal, especially when things are actually accomplished. And this latest accomplishment is one hefty mountain: they managed to capture every Pokemon.
You might be thinking, "how exactly could they trade with another game?" Well, they had help. This session of the game was hacked to make capturing all 151 Pokemon in the original game's data possible — because this time, that was the condition to win the game, instead of defeating Blue or the Elite Four. In addition, once-in-a-game Pokemon like Zapdos or Articuno were set to regenerate if the previous battle to catch them failed. The final mon added to the collection was Mewtwo, caught with an Ultra Ball when just two Pokemon in Red's arsenal had life left. The opposing monster? A Slowbro.
"Twitch Plays Pokemon" isn't as traffic-heavy as it was at the peak of its popularity last summer, but it still has plenty of active users to keep itself going. The channel's creator, an anonymous Australian programmer, intends to keep it running as long as he can and as long as there is some interest.

Sihuan Pharmaceutical Holdings Group, a leading cardio-cerebral vascular drug maker in prescription drug industry of China, has recently confirmed that the third generation of EGFR inhibitor XZP-5809 has been awarded drug clinical trial approval by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of the People's Republic of China (PRC).
XZP-5809 is reportedly a novel category 1 drug being developed by Sihuan Pharmaceutical. Apparently, the new drug is an innovative third generation EGFR-TKI that can be taken orally and has a strong capability for targeting. It features established mechanism, innovative structure, and irreversible binding to EGFR. The drug has improved selection with lower activity for wild-type EGFR and against gene-mutation EGFR, it demonstrated higher activity.
Sources close to the matter informed that the New Drug has unique advantages in its safety and activity, based on the data accumulated from the completed preclinical trial, as compared with products of the same type. Against wild-type EGFR, the New Drug as well as its metabolite showed lower activity. Owing to worldwide competitive advantage and a higher safety profile, the New Drug could become a novel treatment option for cancer patients.
According to CEO and Chairman of Sihuan Pharmaceutical Holdings, Dr. Che Fengsheng, noteworthy progress has been made in the area of lung cancer treatment, including anti-cancer immunotherapy. However, for non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutation, targeted therapy is still considered the prime choice, Dr. Fengsheng said.
Seemingly, the toxicological and preclinical pharmacodynamic data show that the features of the New Drug include good efficacy against acquired resistance mutations and against EGFR sensitive mutations, potential clinical efficacy for patients suffering with lung cancer brain metastasis. It also has reduced impact on cardiac function and better safety profile when compared to drugs of the same type in the market.
The clinical indication for the New Drug candidate is likely to be solid tumors, like metastatic or locally advanced lung cancer with acquired resistance mutations and EGFR-sensitive mutations, sources added.

I am Post VM almost 11 months now. I want to know if the after effects (symptoms) inprove after a year or so. Or do they stay the same, in degree of pain and reaction time when the brain starts to be effected, from the day to day work environment and on the home front.
Ofcouse I can notice a huge improvement from the beginning to the present day. It's just that it feels as though my brain can overload alot more often than before. Overload in the sense that the brain needs a rest ( it starts to hurt) away from noise and communication. I'm really starting to get scared that I will be stuck with this for the rest of my life
Any advice or similar experience would be much appreciated!

Baptized Martha Elizabeth Mabel on Sept. 25 1901 in the Presbyterian Church at Bryson . The minister was Robert Whillams and the witnesses were her grandfather William Brown and William Prior.
Received from the Pontiac district court on Oct. 15 1962. Died of cancer. Started as breast cancer and she did not tell doctor until it was too late.
As a young woman she worked in NJ for the Wiss family. (Wiss scissors) She was cook, they were going to their winter place in Bermuda or Bahamas and wanted her to come also, maybe to look after the kids. She instead came home and got married. Aunt Jessie thinks that either Uncle John or David Peever got her the job. Perhaps it was arranged as she was going with dad and her parents did not approve. They married on May 22 1926 in Beachburg by Rev R.W. McVey at St Andrews Church. Witness's were William D. Johnson and Jessie Johnson, bro. & sis. of the groom.
