SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launched
Added On March 7, 2018
U.S. space technology company SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket on Tuesday.
It carries a telecommunication satellite to the geostationary transfer orbit.
The rocket lifted off early Tuesday morning from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
33 minutes into the flight, the satellite was deployed into geo-stationary orbit.
The satellite weighs six tonnes and is almost the size of a city bus, making it the largest geo-stationary satellite that SpaceX has taken into space.
The satellite is operated by Hispasat, a Spanish communications operator serving Spain, Portugal and Latin America.
It will provide television, broadband, corporate networks and other telecommunications solutions.
Tuesday's mission is SpaceX's 50th launch and the fifth of the year.

Daniel O'Donnell, Nathan Carter, The Begley Family, Riverdance, The Priests, Deaftones and Moya Brennan will also perform when the Pope comes to Dublin.
Irish country star Carter said that performing for Pope Francis in Croke Park will be the biggest gig of his career so far.
He was speaking at GAA HQ on Thursday as plans for the World Meeting of Families were unveiled.
Pope Francis will the trip to Ireland in August, and will address a crowd of 75,000 in the Croke Park venue on August 25th.
Half a million people are expected to witness the pontiff say mass in the Phoenix Park and 45,000 people will follow his holiness to Knock in Co Mayo.
Daniel O'Donnell, The Begley Family, Riverdance, The Priests, Deaftones and Moya Brennan will also perform when the Pope comes to Dublin.
Nathan Carter is due to perform REM hit "Everybody Hurts" alongside the deaf choir which is among over 2,000 performers that will be at the World Meeting of Families.
Speaking of his excitement, he told the Irish Mirror: "This will be probably be the biggest gig of my career to date.
"It's a huge honour to be asked and even growing up in a Catholic boys school choir, for me to get to sing to Pope Francis is a huge deal."
This will be the second time he will perform for a Pope, having performed for Pope John Paul II when he was a young boy as part of a choir.
The cast for the Festival of Families will include an orchestra in excess of 50 musicians and over 700 Irish, Sean Nós and contemporary dancers, including 500 from Irish dance schools across the country.
A 1,000 person strong choir will also perform and will be joined by 100 community groups and 300 flag bearers.
Speaking about the Pope's visit to Ireland, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin said it will be an opportunity to "highlight modern Ireland to the world".
He said: "In September 1979, Pope John Paul II made a historic visit to Ireland. And by any standards, it was a historic visit. The Papal visit has become legendary in Ireland.
"The expectation of Pope Francis' visit vary. There is enthusiasm, as seen within the days of opening registration, the booking of all events for Pope Francis' visit were (booked) out.
"Very large numbers will come from abroad. This event will be a showcase, a way to highlight modern Ireland to the world. This is a great opportunity.
"Many will come out to see any Pope that is coming to Ireland. For others, Pope Francis has a special appeal.
"Pope Francis, who is over 80, appears as a modern Pope.
"One of the great attractions of Pope Francis is how he himself shows how the role of Pope can be unique in bringing the Christian message into our complex world.
"He shows us that he can live in a world where faith seems marginal and yet manages to touch hearts.
"He finds ways in which he can win hearts for what the teaching of Jesus involves, not through imposing and judging, but through winning and attracting.
"That is his real talent."
Five families from Ireland, Canada, India, Iraq and Africa will present a testimony to Pope Francis, focusing on themes such as forgiveness,strength, hope, the intergenerational nature of families today and the impact of technology.
Father Timothy Bartlett, Secretary General of the World Meeting of Families said: "Part of the tradition of the festival of families is that five families from across the world are chosen to present to the Holy Father the realities, the joys, the challenges of family life today.
"We have a family from India, for example, who will talk about the impact of technology on family life today to the Pope.
"So they will come up onto that circle [of encounter space], they will speak to him, and there will be a short video following them back in their home in India where they talk about the impact of phones and the good things that flow from technology and also some of the distractions of family life."

Orange is the color we associate with autumn. Pumpkins and turning leaves are the most obvious causes but for Mobile cultural denizens, the complementary blues can be the norm.
In the feast or famine world of Mobile arts we swing through drastic differences. All summer we abide through a sparse calendar. The opera is done, the symphony finishes, too. With the languid heat and humidity, it's easy to see why things feel so sparse or even measured.
But as soon as October hits the calendar, the opposite takes hold. Suddenly there's far too much to do and not nearly enough time.
It's easy to understand as the change from summer's oppression literally lifts the mood, the body's vigorous reaction a combination of relief and surging biochemicals. We want to go, go, go and do, do, do.
But there's just not enough time. Every group, every organization it seems is grabbed by the same seasonal fervor and apparently compelled to ignore wisdom by bunching up the slate of possibilities.
Prime example: I've heard lamentations from those involved with South of the Salt Line's latest offering "Ambushed by the Tea Party" about the lackluster attendance over their three-week run leading to Election Day. I was there on opening night, an event dedicated to raising money to keep inclusion in the Joe Cain Parade open.
Despite Mobilians' oft-touted love of all thing Mardi Gras, the house was half-empty. Understandable, considering Greek Fest was going full blazes a few blocks over and besides it was only a Thursday night.
Then come Friday night, high school football was the culprit. On Saturday, college football played that role. On it went through all three weekends. It wasn't just football either as there were concerts and album premieres and plays all around the bay.
It was a shame as the rousing show – written by a Mobilian, about our area and produced by locals – was the strongest they've staged to date. Those absent lost most.
Reasons are self-evident. The summer saps the energy from you. The winter is wildly erratic with cold, then fog, then heat, then rain, then cold, then fog … and that's just on Christmas Day.
While beautiful weather can be stimulus to get up and get moving, al fresco engagement isn't a necessity. Yet it's the social calendar too, that makes cultural engagement tricky.
As soon as Halloween passes, we're dealing with Thanksgiving gatherings and travel plans, then the Christmas onslaught. After that is Moonpie madness between New Year's and Mardi Gras. Next thing you know, spring is here again.
October and April have a reputation for motivating climes here so as a result they've become the default spots for happenings. They are also vexing months that make you feel as if you're being pulled in a multitude of directions.
I have to believe that in the last couple of centuries, or at least for the better part of one, we've seen what happens if we try to spread the cultural wealth out to other seasons. Or have we?
Would it be possible to move more events and opportunities to somewhere in our six months of summer and see if it can help optimize things? One room in my house gets the best view in the mornings but that doesn't mean I have to move all the furniture in there.
It's a great puzzle to have and I wish it were always so but it's not necessarily best for the long-term success of arts endeavors. We're guilty of seeing our town through azalea-colored glasses and not realizing just how few slices of the attendance pie exist here. If you frequent cultural events, you've become used to the same few hundred faces you see at most of them and you know who will and will not show.
Other events have shuffled. I heard Greek Fest used to be held in an earlier part of the year. Arts Alive was once in the fall and early May, now it's one event in April. Let's just try spreading some things around, spice it up.
This isn't a complaint so much as a question on how to best marshal forces. We always need more – not less – but I would also like to know that attendance was being maximized to give these things a prime chance for survival and to enrich the life experiences of us all.

Hello internet denizens!
First, disclosures:
This is going to be a lengthy post, I apologize.
I dabbled in Arduino years ago, but am by no means an expert...or even a novice at this point.
I realize I have more money than sense.
For years I have envisioned being able to one day remove bulky computers from my day-to-day life and perform most of my daily computing from my phone. This idea isn't new, from DIY instructables (https://www.instructables.com/id/Smartphone-Powered-Laptop/) to countless crowdfunding campaigns (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andromium/the-superbook-turn-your-smartphone-into-a-laptop-f) even to large multi-nationals (https://www.razer.com/projectlinda), this idea has been around for awhile. For one reason or another none of these have been very successful and I am tired of waiting.
Along comes Samsung with Dex (https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-dex/). Now the world's largest mobile phone maker is working on this idea, and best of all, I already own one! So what's the problem, why aren't I elated, why am I not screaming from the rooftops "The future is finally here!"? Because the geniuses took the ultimate mobile computer and turned it into a desktop... There isn't a laptop shell to accompany this awesome new feature of the Samsung universe! You can buy a Dex Station (https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mobile-accessories/phones/dex-station---black-ee-mg950tbegus/) or a Dex Pad (https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mobile-accessories/phones/dex-pad-ee-m5100tbegus/) or just the Note 9 which can enter Dex mode by simply plugging it into a monitor, but no mobile option is available.
What I want to do is conceptually simple. I want to create a laptop shell that incorporates a wired monitor, a bluetooth keyboard, a couple of cooling fans and USB-A ports, and a standard rechargeable battery pack, with the phone able to dock where a trackpad would typically be (Project Linda (https://www.razer.com/projectlinda) from Razer is essentially the look I am talking about). The difficult part has already been handled by Samsung, when you plug the Note 9 into a monitor it switches into Dex mode and can recognize peripherals, I just need a "control board" to act as the middle man and direct power/data where it needs to go.
I have the knowledge and capabilities to design and create the physical laptop case. I have experience with soldering and making very basic PCBs, and I have the money to do it all well. What I don't have is the knowledge necessary to design this "control board". What I am asking the community for is input on how potentially difficult this is (if it's even possible) and to point me to a few places that will get me started while skipping the lessons on making an LED blink... I have no desire to make this for the masses and support everyone else using whatever design is ultimately created to make their own Dex Laptops or
8) (hell, you can even use the name).
The attached PDF (made with the most sophisticated of graphic arts software known as "
") will give a visual idea of the various components I am initially thinking about, along with another example of what Samsung should have done. None of the images of specific products should be interpreted as what I am using, but rather as examples of the type of product that would be used.
If anyone has constructive feedback or ideas, I am all ears. As I said, I have been looking for this for years, even sending friends in Europe money to buy Ubuntu phones because of the promise of
. I would wait for Razer's Linda, but who knows if that will happen, plus I don't really have the need for a gaming phone...
Thank You.

Interesting product... I don't see why it needs a control board. Battery needs it's own circuitry for maintenance, charging and protection.
Looks like you need a dock with cabling for HDMI, I would just use USB keyboard but bluetooth is fine. Again, just a power switch would work.
Looks like they have it solved if you buy the note.

Ahh, you just want to make your own cheaper... doesn't always work like that (sometimes it does). There are many times when my projects cost much more than what you can buy. Not just the components but time and tools needed to complete the project.
The big companies have tons of resources tied into R&D as well as economies of scale as they mass produce product to bring down per piece pricing. Once the R&D has been paid for and the early adopters are done the pricing will come down.
Think about the 4K TV, when they first hit market they were thousands... not too long ago. Now a 55 inch is about $300-400. If the idea catches on it'll get cheaper.

Hi every one, this will be my first of 2 posts for today. At the beginning of April I was a Featured Artist at Scrapbook New and Review and this is the tutorial that I did with that feature layout. Have you noticed that one of the big new embellishments is chippys, but what do you do with them, how do you alter them? Well I am going to show you my version of three very simple ways to finish them and my layout with them on it.
Supplies needed:
Inks, chalks, Distress stain, mists…what ever you wish to cover your chippy with
Glossy Accents or Crackle Accents
Gems or pearls
Piece 1 - Corner Scrolls
Step 1
First I misted them with both Perfect Pearls and Smooch. I used my heat tool to dry them.
Step 2
I applied a coat of Glossy Accents and let this dry. This is going to give your chippy a high glossy effect when it is finished. If you want a crackle effect add Crackle Accents or Distress Crackle instead. This photo is what they look like right after applying the GA. Once completely dried and added to my layout I added a couple of gems in the centers.
Piece 2 - Title Cherish
Step 1
This one is so easy. I just painted the top half with Pink Smooch and the bottom half with Mocha Smooth. I used my heat tool to dry this and then added Crackle Accents to it.
Piece 3 – Vine
Step 1
First I cut this vine in half to get more use from it. Then I covered it with Distress Stain and used my heat gun to dry it. Next I just added two different colors of chalk inks and covered it with Glossy Accents.
As you can see the chippys add so much to a layout for texture and dimention. They are easy to alter and there is so many ways to do that, playing around with them is the best way to learn. Swirlydoos and Dusty Attic both have wonderful tutorials on altering the chippys as well.
Thank you so much for stopping in for a peek. I hope that you all have a fantastic week, be safe and stay warm. Feel free to leave me some scrappy love comments, I love reading them ...take care and happy scrapping J

"The SRI also aligns with student, administrator, and expert sentiments about the need for mandatory sexual respect education. And there's no denying that the SRI is one of the first and most comprehensive programs of its nature in the nation."
"... administrative action is useless without active student participation. We urge the student body to keep this in mind as the administration rolls out future iterations of the sexual respect requirement."

Running Update: Remnant Injuries
When we left for Hawaii, back in the day, I was up to 11 miles in my oh-so-technical half marathon training schedule.
Not 11 glorious, graceful, fast miles - but 11 miles nonetheless.
Then we went on vacation. Before which I decided that I would not run. No, I would take a break and "let my body rest" in preparation for The Race. And also because running, or routine exercising in general, while on vacation is for losers. Something which I reminded many losers about (from the comfort and safety of my rolled down car window) while vacationing. It would appear that I am the only person in the whole wide fit world that thinks that vacationing is for binge drinking, lazing about, eating and cavorting.
Who are these losers out in the humid Hawaii heat in their running shoes and visors sweating away their misbehaving vacation hours?
I mean, shit, I can run at home - why not instead burn my excess calories (and oh, I do gather some excess calories on vacation, letmetellyou) doing stuff I can't do at home. Like kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, improperly boogie boarding and staggering around on the beach looking for the pool bar.
These are things you do on vacation in my world.
Running? No. Running is for when you're home with access to all your gear and close to your primary care physician.
Despite all my vacation resting, I still managed to injure myself. Which, frankly, is not all that surprising since I made my way through the better part of a bottle of gin while also spending most of my waking hours in the ocean.
To quote a wise man, "Late night swimming and alcohol: it's a winning combination!"
Either way, during one of my many turtle stalking snorkel outings I got a vicious evil cramp in my shin meat, which I initially ignored because I wasn't ready to go in yet. I guess I'm still, like, 10 years old or something. By the time I made it to shore and hobbled up to the deck, I thought I was in the clear. The cramp was gone.
Nuh huh.
Woke up the next day with sore SORE shin meat. Like reliving the shin splints of my youth, I'll tell you. Not pleasant. But it was vacation in my world, so I made a cocktail and let the soothing powers of gin heal my wounds.
When I got home (and sobered up) I went for a short run, thinking my soreness would melt away when I hit the pavement.
I planned to run five miles, but ran closer to four. The last mile of which I completed with tears in my eyes. Ouch. Sore shin meat strikes again.
I hobbled all last week. I took it way easy this weekend - getting new insoles for all my shoes (hello! I'm gellin'!) and I think I'm on the road to recovery. Finally.
Chuh! And only two weeks later. Geez man.
So, update is this: I have been resting for practically three whole weeks with only a few short runs to my name during this time and I just got my race packet for the race which is in, like, TWO WEEKS.
Holy crap. I think I just threw up a little bit.
And I don't think I'll be completing that 12 mile run I added to the schedule, despite my fear that I won't be able to go beyond the 11 mile mark having never seen myself do it in real life.
And I don't think I'll be resuming a regular training schedule because I would have to immediately scrap it for the ever important Taper.
And I think I'll be arriving at Race Day with little more than my *hopefully* fully recovered bod and 11 miles under my belt.
And I've stopped carrying my iPod with me because I can't manage the technical difficulties while I'm sweating like a wild hog and dodging traffic. So, I'll be doing this race tunes-free. (Never thought I'd say that)
Will I be able to man-up and run the race without keeling the hell over? Mmm, we'll see.

Ouch! I hope your shins start feeling better! You might already do this, but I know this really works for my shins. If you write out each letter of the alphabet with your feet (in the air), it helps to stretch all the muscles in different directions. I know that sounds weird.ReplyDelete
I bet you'll do great at the race. Just imagine a giant margarita at the finish line!
Hey, you should be fine with 11 miles done - my training only took me up to 10, then back down to 6/8 the weekend before the race.ReplyDelete
As for the ipod, I'm sorry to say I had to have my tunes while running - I got a little "running belt" and stuck it in there...
Hope your shin feels better soon.ReplyDelete
Don't worry about the race, you'll finish it. Last year I was over half way through training for a 1/2 marathon at the beginning of September. The on July 4th I unexpectedly had to have my gallbladder removed. Put a bit of a crimp in the training and the mileage.
I still did the race. I walked a huge chunk of it, and was a lot slower than planned, but I finished. Before the cut off time.
Remember DFL (DLF) => DNF => DNS!
In English....
Dead F***ing Last (Dead Last Finish) beats did not finish, which beats did not start.
My dad (a runner too) always told me that if you know you can run halfway, you can run the whole thing. So you know you can run 11, no problem! You could probably handle a 20 mile race! You can do it!ReplyDelete
Could you get one of those doo-dads I see some tourists wearing, where there's like a belt with bottles attached to it, and a plastic straw that comes up through your shirt, and basically get an I.V. of G&T during the race? Just a thought.ReplyDelete
I'm very impressed with your training. My couch gets a good workout but that's about it.

Best of luck with the race. I think if you are doing 11 miles in training, you should be fine for the half-marathon. I've been training for a 10K and I never thought I'd say this, but the 6 miles doesn't seem like much of a challenge anymore. I upped my last run to 7 miles, perhaps I need to find a half-marathon myself!ReplyDelete
i too am running a half in 2 weeks, and have 11 miles to run on sunday. yuck and double yuck. the whole thing makes me nervous, and i've run 3 1/2s before!
if you can, download (for free on itunes podcasts) the august 18, 2007 edition of "Only a Game" on NPR. Bill Littlefield has a segment done by one of his producers who was running the new york half for her first time. It's all about how POORLY named the 1/2 marathon is, that most people who hear you're running it say "when are you going to run a WHOLE marathon"--as if 13.2 miles isn't enough!! It's a great piece, and very motivating. Personally, i think the 1/2 marathon should be called the "Twenty-two" (as in 22K)--it sounds more impressive then "1/2 marathon".
good luck!
You are going to do so great. You know that. 11 miles is HUGE and it will make 13 seem like a walk in the park. I'd only run 16 before I did my first marathon.ReplyDelete
So, shin meat, time to heal. And Fin? Countdown to your time to ROCK.
[2013 update: You can't comment as an anonymous person anymore. Too many douchebags were leaving bullshit SPAM comments and my inbox was getting flooded, but if you're here to comment in a real way like a real person, go to it.]
Look at you commenting, that's fun.
So, here's the thing with commenting, unless you have an email address associated with your own profile, your comment will still post, but I won't have an email address with which to reply to you personally.
Sucks, right?
Anyway, to remedy this, I usually come back to my posts and post replies in the comment field with you.
But, if you ever want to email me directly to talk about pumpkins or shoes or what it's like to spend a good part of your day Swiffering - shoot me an email to finnyknitsATgmailDOTcom.

Do you have curly hair? Then you're probably very familiar with struggles such as frizz, breakage, and keeping it in place. With curly hair, it's important to know what products and styles work best for you to keep your mane healthy, but here are some general tips and tricks for frizz-free, beautiful curls using natural hair products:
1. Go Natural
Sulfates are cheap detergents found in many cleaning products including shampoos that create the bubbling effect we associate with cleanliness. Unfortunately, though, sulfates can be rather harsh on the skin and hair and may cause unnecessary damage, which could result in excess dryness, breaking, and frizz.
Using only all-natural ingredients, HairGia's shampoos, conditioners, and styling products do not contain sulfates, rather they're made with essential fatty acids and natural botanicals like aloe vera and chamomile to protect your beautiful locks!
2. Ease Up on the Heat Styling
While we obviously understand the importance of the hair dryer, curling iron, and other essential beauty tools, we also know that the health of our hair is even more important. Everyday blow drying, curling, straightening, etc. is going to cause damage to the hair, which can result in frizz, split ends, and, for our curly haired friends, an out of control mane!
We're not suggesting you give up on heat styling altogether, of course, just make sure you are using high-quality hair products and not over-styling. If you're straightening your naturally curly hair every day, try embracing your curls and simply drying with a diffuser. Tip: blast the hair dryer on cold over your hair for a few seconds at the end of styling to tame frizz, then finish with our Polish Drops for ultimate shine!
3. Use High-Quality Anti-Frizz Hair Products
Excess frizz is probably one of the biggest problems facing those with naturally curly hair, but it doesn't have to be. With regular deep conditioning with a product such as our Keratin Hydrating Masque, you can lock in moisture and hydrate stressed out locks for beautiful, shiny hair. Our all-natural Volume Mousse is perfect for scrunching into towel-dried hair before diffusing, then finish your style with our Polish Drops and a touch of Creative Hair Spray for all-day hold without residue build up!
Order Your All-Natural HairGia Products Online Today!
Make the switch to natural hair products for your curly hair today to keep your hair healthy, shiny, and looking its best everyday! HairGia prides itself on creating only the highest quality, all-natural hair care products for beautiful hair.

Kobayashi Koichi receives decoration: In the spring honors list, announced on April 28, Kobayashi Koichi became the 27th go player to receive a decoration from the Japanese government, being awarded the Medal of Honor with Purple Ribbon. Aged 65, Kobayashi holds three honorary titles, the Kisei, Meijin, and Gosei. He was a late starter, not winning his first big-three title, the Meijin, until he was 33, but he went on to win 60 titles, including the Kisei eight years in a row, the Meijin seven years in a row, eight times in all, and the Gosei six years in a row, nine times in all. His only major failure was not winning the Honinbo title, despite challenging three years in a row.
Go Seigen Cup: The first Wu Qingyuan (Go Seigen) Cup World Women's Championship is a new tournament for woman players founded by Fuzhou City in Fujian Province in honor of its most famous son, at least in the go world. The rounds up to the final were held from April 26 to May 1. Twenty-eight players took part; of these eight were from Europe and American and they played a preliminary round, with the top four entering the main tournament. This was an irregular knock-out with five rounds, but with eight players seeded into the second round. The finalists are two Korean players, Kim Chaeyoung 3P and Choi Jeong 9P. The final will be held in July. Four Japanese players took part. Two reached the quarterfinals, but were eliminated there. However, Ueno Asami 2P will probably remember fondly her win against Rui Naiwei 9P.
Cho U retains sole lead in Meijin League: Some important games have been played in the 43rdMeijin League since my last report. The results are given below.
(April 16) Yo Seiki (Yu Chengqi) 7P (W) beat Murakawa Daisuke 8P by resig. Yo raised his score to 2-3 and Murakawa dropped to 1-4.
(April 26) Takao Shinji 9P (W) beat Shibano Toramaru 7P by resig. This was Shibano's first loss; he lost his chance of drawing level with the league leader, Cho U, who was in lone first place with 4-0. Two players followed him with just one loss: Shibano and Hane Naoki 9P, both on 3-1.
(May 3) Cho (B) beat Shibano by resig.; Kono Rin 9P (B) beat Yo by resig.
(May 10) Murakawa (B) beat Takao by 2.5 points.
(May 24) Hane (W) beat Ko Iso 8P by resig. This game concluded the 6th(May) round. Cho U keeps the lead, on 5-0, with Hane in second place on 4-1. They are followed by two players on 3-2, Kono and Shibano. At present, it seems likely one of these four will be the challenger; the only other player theoretically still in the running is Yamashita on 2-3.
Part 1 of 4; tomorrow: Kisei S League starts; Xu of China wins Globis Cup; Yo keeps Honinbo seat; Shibano wins Japan-China Ryusei

Are you planning to start a family? Do you want to confirm your pregnancy? If you nodded along with excitement, you need to know early signs or symptoms of pregnancy that indicate that you are expecting. You may experience symptoms of pregnancy around the first month of being pregnant. In fact, about 60% of expecting women experience the symptoms by the time they complete six weeks of the pregnancy, while 90% pregnant females observe symptoms by the time they are 8 weeks pregnant.
2Mood Swings:
You may experience mood swings, particularly during your first trimester of pregnancy. Experiencing mood swings is a common symptom while expecting that occurs due to hormonal changes which affect your neurotransmitters in the brain. You may become anxious, depressed or experience heightened good or bad emotions. Such mood swings may also hamper your daily life. So, it is always better to see your doctor that may help you confirm your pregnancy and feel better.

I'm not quite sure how, to tell "you", what I feel obligated I must. It's about "him". Yes, "him", is the best pronoun I can find, or rather, use, to describe this anomaly. Rest be assured, this is no man, something not of this planet, and possibly not even something from within this existence. Hell, "him" implies something living, and I cannot be sure anyone could call him that, without a complete rewrite of human language itself.
Now, what exactly he is, I am not sure. Whether he is some conscious being far further evolved than humanity, or a "moral" rendering of the universe itself, cannot ever be told. What is known is that he's an omnipresent "being", as I will call him, and does, or at least can, render himself everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It doesn't make any sense, I know, but ask yourself; does anything?
Well, he's watching. He's always watching.
However, even to those who know of his existence, who know everything there is to know about him, hardly concern him. The only way to make him "care", is something that can only be described as a "ritual". Granted, it's none of your stereotypical "Cloaked and hooded figures, chanting in a dark room full of candles" cultic foolishness. No, no, it's something much more mundane. In fact, the event itself is incredibly common, and I mean, colossally so. The state of mind which one must be in is the only thing which bars, and thus saves, most people from him. And no, the state of mind necessary is not "having the power of true belief" or anything like that. What exactly the right event and state of mind are I cannot, and will not, state. Trust me, it's for your own good. It may seem like some clichéd authoring trope to prevent people from actually disproving the story, but is it worth being wrong?
However, I will say that people have triggered his coming to them both accidentally and intentionally, for a stupidly large variety of reasons.
What happens if he does come? Well, you won't know at first, and this is (probably) for the best, it will buy you some time. He cannot physically manifest himself while nearby you while you can actively and honestly deny his existence, so the most skeptical people usually last longer, at least early on. Your lack of belief will not stop himself from getting to you, he can still show up anywhere outside of a fair distance from you, and he can enter it at will. From the moment you've set him loose upon yourself, his so-called "game" starts, but the real act begins when he reaches you the first time.
The overall amount of time his development lasts is not certain, but the closest attribution was (around) 27 hours, 52 minutes. That timeframe has no real significance on Earth, so the actual purpose of it may never be completely discovered. I know, for a fact, that the longest anyone has ever had to "prepare" was just under an hour, but anyone who plans to summon him will need to do so before attempting, as you will never know for sure when he's been set loose.
When you find for sure he is upon you, you have to get out of the location you're in quickly. Any option of transport works, but the fastest way is the best way. Don't think you can hide (even in the seemingly best places) or defend yourself in any way (even with the seemingly best weapons). People have tried, thinking that no one will ever find them in that spot, or that no one could ever touch them with that weapon (be it a knife, gun, holy book, or blunt object. Hell, you could have a tank and still not be safe.) Also be wary that public places are no safer than anywhere else, and he does not hesitate to make himself known to you. Everyone around will see him get to you, but he will pay no mind to anyone save for you, even with an entire army in front of you, using everything they have.
I would not recommend running as your only escape method, making use of modern technology to get far away has helped save more than a few people. But you need to be careful, if you get too far away, he'll be able to manifest himself closer, decreasing the seemingly arbitrary barrier he can simply, you could say, teleport to. Hopping on an aircraft or train for 28 hours is not recommended, unless you know for sure you won't be traveling too fast or too far.
Some other necessary suggestions; be sure to bring some sustenance with you. Going about 28 hours without food and water would be hardly bearable for most modern humans, but be mindful not to stop for too long. If you can eat and move at the same time, do that. If not, be very careful, you won't know exactly how far away he is until it's over. Also, be sure you are well rested, sleeping at any time in the period will guarantee your end.
If you are one of the lucky people who avoids him for that long, well, I congratulate you. After the time period is up, you will suddenly cease to move. Do not be afraid, he cannot harm you anymore, and does not intend to. He will approach you, place a hand-like appendage on your forehead, and you will instantly black out and wake up in your bed 27 hours and 52 minutes before he was brought to you. Once that is done, you will have passed his test, and will never be able to bring him on again. To say you've gained anything from it is up to your interpretation, but you will remember the incident. No one else who may have been involved is going to, though, so it's best you keep to yourself in order to avoid the certain allegations of insanity.
It's quite interesting to think about, actually, considering many people will try to bring him upon themselves, trying to disprove this random "creepy pasta" they found on the world wide web. Most will find nothing, and those who do will likely be forgotten with time.
I know this well, but it seems a fool is always fool, whether they are right or wrong. Just remember, C'est en regardant. I'm watching.
I'm always watching.

When you purchase guppies and they are fully grown, they are most likely already over a year old. Seeming that I have had him for a year or so, i'd say my blue-tailed male guppy had a pretty good run. Unfortunatelly, he passed away last night. He was very weak and was being pushed about the tank by the force of the filter, so i put him in a breeder net in the 18g. Unfortunatelly, the small guppy species has an average life span of just 2 years. At least I still have the many decendants of him; His fry.
I was going through the pictures and videos on my computer and I found a very old video from when I first got the guppies. Way back then I was a modest fish keeper and my tank was decorated with fake coral and coloured gravel. Now days I don't favor such decor, but I will be keeping the video, as it is the only video I have with all four of the original guppies in it.
It's finally here! It's not perfect, but here is a video I scrounged up of the 18g. Considering I filmed and produced it all in one day, i'd say it's pretty good. Enjoy!

EDIT: Sorry, the video doesn't seem to be working. It might be because I only just uploaded it. Once the video has been processed and added to my Youtube channel, it might work. If it doesn't, I'll post a link to it instead.

Well, in hope to set up a marine tank sometime in the future, i'm going after a bigger tank. Instead of a 42 gallon, the tank i'm now looking at is 56 gallons, and a foot longer. The new dimentions are 48″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high. As for stocking, I was thinking:
2x fully mature, already paired off gold angelfish
6x or so Australian rainbowfish
20-30x male guppies (the ones from when I used to breed)
5x rummynose tetras (I already have these)
3x black kuhlie loaches (again, I already have these)
2x German blue rams; and possibly
2x kribensis
I might not get the kribs due to the fact that once fully grown they might have a go at my guppies and because of their aggression, should they choose to breed. I am also concerned about the aggression of the angels and the rams when/if they breed. Hopefully I will never have to deal with more than one spawn at a time, so that all the other fish have space to retreat when the spawning fish set up a territory.

Just a quick update on the current aquarium goal. I'm pretty set on this three foot package deal. The tank is 36″ long, 15″ wide and 18″ high. It's 42 gallons. The package deal comes with a solid pine stand, a Superwin AHJ752 (internal) or Resun HF2002 (hang on) filter, a submersible heater (100 watts) and a 3 foot single dalbarb flourescant light and housing (30 watts, I will have to get another one). I will be getting a sloping pine hood, but it's not included in the deal. I am hoping to get it around the 31st of October, the end of this month. As far as stocking goes, I have about 30 male guppies going in there. The female guppies will stay in the 18g. There are fewer females than males. I am also hoping to get a few different varieties of Australian rainbowfish. As with my other tanks, it will be fully planted, eventually. Once I get it, I plan to run the filter in the 18g for a few weeks, rather than cycling the tank. While this is going on, I will set up the tank with the live plants. I am considering sand, but i'm a little worried about vacuuming it all up each week. I may be going to the creek this week with the waterproof camer. If I do end up going, maybe I can get some good underwater snaps.

Ajax is certainly a jumper. This time, he's gotten himself into trouble. Of course his tank came with it's own little lid, however it didn't completely cover the top of the tank, and gaps were left. I didn't think his aim was good enough for him to get out of the tank, and stupid me didn't cover the gaps. I feel absolutely terrible. Thank goodness, bettas have a heavinly organ called a labyrinth organ. This means that should a betta jump out of the tank, he can gulp air and get oxygen this way. Therefore, labyrinth fishes will never suffocate if they jump out of a tank, they will die when their lungs dry up. I found him in a box with some crepe paper. He was pretty dry, only barely sticky from his slime coat. He was stuck to the crepe paper, so i put it in the water to soften, and eventually Ajax pulled himself away. The poor thing is still mainly in one piece. His fins didn't tear off, but they spit and some rays have stuck together. His eyes are cloudy and I fear he may be blind in one eye. He appears to have minimal sight in the other. Hopefully this will heal in time, and he will still have vision in at least one of his eyes. I have turned off the filter, as he is so weak I don't want to make him swim against the filter in the state he is in. I have also removed the carbon from the filter and administered Melafix to the tank. Melafix is an antibacterial medication. It should help prevent his wounds getting infected and speed up the healing process of his fins. As I watch him now, about 15 minutes after the incident, he has gotten most of the fluff off his body. He has only just started to become active and is begining to swim a little bit. Before he was just lying on the bottom of the tank, recooperating from the ordeal. Tomorrow afternoon I will head down to the pet shop and pick up a larger bottle of Melafix. I will probably be treating him for one or two weeks. Tonight I will feed all the fish frozen brine shrimp. I am hoping Ajax will be tempted by the meal, otherwise he probably won't eat for a day or two. On Thursday I will be getting some live food. From what I remember, my petstore currently stocks bloodworms, black worms, white worms and brine shrimp. For now I have covered the tank with a fry screen-like netting, but within a few weeks (hopefully) I will be getting a lid custom-cut lid for not only Ajax's tank, but for the 18g community aswell. I leave you today with this message:
If you're going to have a betta, COVER THE TANK!!! Don't be stupid and make the same mistake I did. Don't assume it will be okay. Chances are, it will not. It is in the betta's nature to jump. They jump from one rice paddy to the next in the wild. I'm incredibly lucky to have found Ajax in time and he will probably make a complete recovery, but if it happens again I might be too late.

As my guppy fry grow, they are maturing, and fast! As i was watching my bustling tank after a large water change, I realised the male juviniles have begun to chase the females around. I don't want any pregnant females, so i put all of the males in the 9g. I'm having to really bump up the water changes, as this drastically overstocks the tank, and to make matters much worse, it didn't even have time to cycle. Of course there is no way they would all be able to live in there perminantly. My next goal is to get a 3 or 4 foot tank (42 or 56 gallons) within the next two months (roughly). I would like to get a large corner desk, put the tank on one side, and my computer etc on the other. All the guppies are slowly developing some very beautiful colours. They will make such a beautiful display once they have matured.
I spent the day running around looking at small tanks for a betta. I ended up getting:
- A small 10 liter acrylic tank
- White gravel
- A broken vase aquarium decoration
- JEBO JB09 Small Aquarium Light With Holder (wattage not specified)
- A small bunch of moneywart and elodea (aka anacharis)
- AristaPet Plant Food (fertilizer), which I am also using on the other tanks
- BettaMin Tropical Medley
- A few Hikary free samples
- VitaPet Crystal Clear Aquarium Filter 200 (200 litres per hour); and
- A betta, of course!
The light is in a slick silver hood. I'm hoping it will be good enough to support some hardy live plants. The filter is pretty good, about double as good as it needs to be, however I will not be cycling the tank due to it's small size. You may have realised the tank does not have a heater. This tank is only his summer home, in the winter he will be going into the 9g. By next summer the 9g will be cycled with a full-on live plant setup, i'm considering a CO2 system. It will have neons and possibly WCMM (white cloud mountain minnows). During the colder months the new 2.6g will probably remain running with the live plants. Back to the heater issue, you will have to keep in mind I live in Australia, so it is now just coming into Spring. The 2.6g's water is currently sitting at 25*c, and it's night. I'm actually more concerned about the water overheating rather than getting too cold. I administered the first dose of plant fertilizer today. Hopefully I will get some good results. Once I have used the free samples I will report on what ones the fish like best. I do like the BettaMin Tropical Medley food for bettas. It's a combination of small, thin red flakes and freeze dried brine shrimp. It seems to be pretty nutricious, if you read some of the ingredients:
Fish meal, ground brown rice, shrimp meal, brine shrimp, potato protine, dehulled soybean meal, omega-3 fatty acids, algae meal etc…
My betta seems to really like it. While i'm talking about my betta, I'll take the chance to tell you what he looks like. He's a dragon crowntail. His base colour is a deep purple-blue colour, his face is black. The fins below his body are a beautiful deep red colour, that fades into a deep blue. His tail and the fin on the top of his body are a metalic green which blends into a deep blue and dark purple at the ends. He has descent finnage and i'm very surprised to find such a specimen in a pet store (PetBarn). He seems to be quite placid and will not flare at bright objects or even his reflection. This could be a good thing when I mix him in with the tetras in the winter. He is still quite small and seems to be pretty young. He really enjoys exploring the tank and you would be lucky to catch his sitting still. He doesn't hide much at all, which is surprising, seeming he was only introduced to the tank today. He did have horizontal bars earlier, but he is settling in quickly and they have almost completely dissapeared. The most important piece of advice I could possibly give you regarding bettas would be to keep them out of small bowls, containers and vases. They will be so much happier, healthier and lively in a descent tank.
I've gotten some anacharis for my 9g, along with another live plant with a beautiful red colour underneath the leaves. I forget the name of it. The tank is looking better with the new additions and I look forward to adding more in the near future.

ANNOUNCiNG NEW AQUARiUM AND SOME UNFORTUNATE NEWS, GUPPiES GROWiNG VERY NiCELY, GOLDEN APPLE SNAiLS VERY HAPPY, A WARNiNG CONCERNiNG AQUARiUM HEATERS
That's right, I have reached my goal! Though I must inform you, the goal has been changed. What i changed it to was to have an aquarium that I am happy with, that I can use to keep various species, a mini display. What I now have is a very sleek, modern-looking 9 gallon Aqua One AR-380 aquarium! Don't dispare. While it may be small, that does not in any way mean that it has to be boring. Besides, I still have my 18 gallon and I will soon be getting a 20+ gallon for Cpt. Gills. Perhaps one day I will gather up the time, money and knowlage needed for a 50g marine tank? Anyhoo, here is some info on the exciting new addition:
- Acrylic glass, meaning it has seemless curved corners
- A base with built-in stabalising styrophoam
- It's silver
- The hood is neat and tidy and shows no cords. It houses the light with a protevtive plastic splash cover, a fantastic (and very quiet!) wet/dry filter and the non-submergable top or the heater. It has a switch for the light on the topwith a plastic casing and a very handy swivel lid along the front, very convenient
- As I have just said, the filter runs very quietly and effectively
- The dimentions (including hood) are (approximately) 37cm long, 46cm tall and 25cm from front to back
I have natural coloured gravel in the bottom. I have live plants in there, including one small smazon sword and a clump of dwarf hairgrass. I did have cabomba in there, but it died (I have never been able to keep cabomba for very long). The sword and hairgrass don't seem to be doing to well either, I suspect it is the lighting. I will experiment a little more with my current lighting, then upgrade if needed. It may also be that I have not added enough gravel. I do have half a bag spare and will be adding some more soon. At the moment I am attempting to cycle it with my last remaining male guppy and three male juvinile guppies. I have my driftwood in there. I have bought a new 50w heater and a smaller gravel vacuume. I have been trying to tiptoe around the ammonia spikes to avoid any major health issues with the fish, however my adult blue moscow has come down with tail rot. I do have aquarium salt on hand, however no medication. i have done a 40-50% water change via vaccuming the gravel, so the tank is very clean. If it does not clear up within a few days, or if it gets much worse by tomorrow, I will drop into the pet shop and get some medication. I'm not in too much of a rush as this particular male has come down with fin rot in the past (a few months ago) and it seemingly cleared up after doing a major water change every day for 4-6 days. Let's see what happens before rushing into anything.
All the guppy fry seem to be maturing very necely. The three males in my new aquarium were seemingly trying to harass the females, which is why they were put in the new tank. They are all mainly red in the tail with some yellow and a few black dots. Their body is developing a dark blue colouring. Looking down on them from above they all seem to have a vibrant, almost flourescant violet patch along the top of their bodies, linking from their dorsal fin down to the base of their tail fin. Very beautiful, especially for a crossbred batch.
My golden apple snails have been relocated to the 9g and seem to be very happy in there! They have had no effect on my live plants and their antennae have fully grown back. I balieve it is only the youngest guppies that tend to nip at them.
To everyone with a heater in their tank, I want to share my recent experience with you. yesterday i was performing weekly water changes on my 18g tank. I vaccumed the gravel. I was changing my regular amount of 5 gallons (25% of the water) and without realising, the heater had come out of the water. I went to empty out the second bucket and when i came back I heard a sizzling noise and realised what I had done. With no thought at all of the consequences, I slid the heater down into the water and It practically exploded. huge bubbles came flying up and the glass cover shattered. I immediately unplugged the device and checked what damage I had done, still unawear of what had happened. Thank goodness I unplugged it in time, the water was creeping up the inside of the remaining top half of the heater. Dangerously, the VitaPet heaters I use have no transformers, making them risky to use. Thank goodness, all my fish and I are perfectly fine. It jsut serves as a reminder of how carefull you need to be when working with electrics. I replaced the heater, this time with a smaller 100w (my old one was 150w), that better suits my tank.

A Cameroonian resident for 19 years in Japan, M. Aristide F. is under an arbitrary and abusive and inappropriate decision of confinement in inhuman conditions and deportation for 17 August to Cameroon, a malicious manoeuver of some authorities of the immigration services involving M. Shomojo MASAMUNE and Ms UNMEINO joined by Mrs KIHARE and M. KUSUMOTO.
Mr. Aristide F. E. is an honest, peaceful citizen, father of two children of Japanese nationality, who has not committed any crime, but who has been improperly detained at the closed Center of Narita Airport, while he normally responded to a summons from the immigration services, after his day work.
A peaceful permanent resident:
M. Aristide F. E., 54 years old, of Cameroonian nationality lived peacefully in Japan since 1999, working legally and paying his taxes. He hold a permanent resident in Japan; is a father of two Japanese children, divorced since 2008 of his wife, a Japanese born, who he meet when they were student in Italy. He speaks French, English, Japanese and Italian. He is the cofounder and first President of the Cameroonian Association of Cameroonians living in Japan.
False allegation and inappropriate decision:
These agents, under false pretexts such as "lack of re-entry visa of 30 yen", "obstruction of immigration inspectors", "refusal to board the Ethiopian Air 762 flight to execute deportation orders", "malicious remarks and arrogance" of my brother, have taken legal steps to deport him from Japan on August 17, on the basis of Article 24, para 5 (2) of the Immigration Control & Refugee-Recognition Act.
These agents also decided to cancel by perforation M. Aristide F. E.'s permanent residence permit No. FU64181335ED, which was valid until May 27, 2021.
Inhumane conditions of confinement:
Mr. Aristide F. E. was arbitrarily detained, isolated from external contact, detained in inhumane conditions: locked up in a room at the end of the runway at Narita Airport, where he suffered plane noises 18 hours a day, and this nearly FIVE months.
During his five-month confinement, my brother, whom we are looking for everywhere, and who was cut off from all contact with the outside, could not be informed of the death of our father in Cameroon on May 28th, nor of his burial. He only was information after his provisional release on 20 July 2018.
After discussions with M. Aristide F.E., we can confirm that to date, Mr. Aristide F. E. is in a fragile psychological state, sick and morally depressed, because of acts of moral and psychological torture and terror that he experienced. Mr. Aristide F. E. must certainly undergo a serious medical follow-up.
No legal counsel from his Lawyer:
M. Aristide F. E. was unfortunately unable to be validly defended by his counsel, Mr Kim SUHYONG from the Hiroo Park Las Firme, to whom he nevertheless paid a sum of USD 6700 (six thousand seven hundred) and who saw him only once in eight months of proceedings. His letter to his lawyer was forwarded to the Japanese Administration. He did not appear before any court or magistrate. This lack of legal defence also facilitated the non-renewal of the residence permits of his Ethiopian companion, of which he is the financial guarantor/sponsor, and their 8-year-old son, André Gregory, born in Japan. Therefore, we maintain that the decision against him was taken without Mr. Aristide F. E. having been able to validly defend himself and benefit from a fair trial, fair and worthy of a great democracy like Japan.
Legally speaking, and reading the texts, Mr. Aristide F. E., does not meet the conditions of deportation stipulated in the decision nr 10010 of 13 April 2018, Article 24, and mainly, paragraph 5 (2) of the Immigration Control & Refugee- Recognition Act) which evokes the cases of foreign residents who have not respected their matrimonial obligations for six months (Note from the Ministry of Justice of July 2012: http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/newimmiact_1/info/pdf/120703/haigusya_fr.pdf). For the very most, the deportation decision could have invoked Article 22-4 § 1, which indicates the conditions of revocation of residence, and which could have led to the deportation of the concerned person (Click here). However, on examination, the situation of Mr Aristide F. E. Case does not correspond to any of the referenced cases for revocation of the residence.
Moreover, because of his attachments (father of children of Japanese nationality), he can be considered among the cases which the Japanese courts can not easily revoke the status of residence (see Art 24-5, refer to the article 22-2 and 22-1 of the Immigration Control & Refugee-Recognition Act); Note from the Ministry of Justice of July 2012 « Specific examples of foreign nationals whose status of residence is not revoked… ».
Hidden reasons for deportation:
Moreover, since 2012, Mr. Aristide F. E. suffers from the absence of his two 18- and 14-year-old Japanese sons, whom he has been looking for since 2012, and who has been removed from his care by his ex-wife, with the support of Japanese social services, according to the concerned.
Mr. Aristide F. E. leads activist activities against racism and negrophobia in Japan. What in reality may have been one of the reasons for his inappropriate decision for deportation. The accusation of arrogance may rely on his civil rights activist activities.
Finally, there is no criminal act committed that justifies an extreme solution of deportation, for a citizen, who in addition, to have deep family ties to Japan, has contributed by its activities (60 hours of work per week), the shining of the economic and socio-cultural life in Japan.
The Negrophobia Observatory in Europe do not want to believe that the deportation of Mr. Aristide F. E. aims to remove him from his Japanese children, who today, at the time of their majority, can legally emancipate themselves from their mother and find their father.
In conclusion:
The Negrophobia Observatory in Europe acknowledged the fact that the deportation decision has now been transformed into a voluntary departure, which was never requested by M. Aristide F. E.
The Observatory, with the support of the Embassy of Cameroon in Japan, request the followings:
- Annulment of the deportation decision nr 10010 of 13 and 26 April 2018;
- Regularization of Mr. Aristide F. E.'s permanent residence permit and his family resident status;
- Medical follow up for moral and psychological acts of torture;
- Locate his Japanese children and put them in touch with their father.
The Negrophobia Observatory in Europe count on the understanding and magnanimity of the Japanese Administration.

Do you remember learning how to wash hands properly in kindergarten?
Here are Mrs Scott's students taking 20 to 30 seconds to thoroughly sanitize their hands.
- Students watched a video on how to hand wash
- Then teachers used a black light to show how washing their own hands longer than 5, 10, or 15 seconds made a difference killing germs. The longer the soap was used, the more germs killed. 5, 10 or 15 seconds was NOT LONG ENOUGH to do the job.
- Students recorded on paper how length of time effects hand cleanliness.
- Then students soaped up their own hands as long as it took to sing their ABCs or the Happy Birthday song.
- Finally, the black light was used to show how well the students washed.

a bit about Victoria
What do you do and why do you do it?
I work in health policy at Cancer Care Ontario. I survived cancer as a teen so always wanted to work in a role that allowed me to pursue changes to the health system where-ever I saw fit. We are lucky in Canada to have quality public healthcare, however there are still gaps in accessibility and participation that are leading to disparity in patient outcomes. From my own experience, I knew how important it was to receive care that met my needs as a person, rather than just a disease - healthcare that gave me hope and a sense of personal freedom in my treatment. I want to ensure that this type of care is a standard across Ontario for all.
What's the worst job you've ever had and why was it so effing bad?
I once worked at Starbucks, and let me tell you, those baristas go through hell. Non-stop 50+ person line-ups, complicated orders, hot coffee spilling on you, and people yelling at you for forgetting to make their latte a skinny. Need I say more?
Were you born and raised in Toronto? If not, where did you grow up and what brought you to Toronto?
I was raised in Ottawa, Ontario, and at the age of 17 moved to Montreal to pursue a wilder life (and my undergrad). I stayed there till 23, and after too many late nights along St. Laurent I decided it was time to leave. From there, I did a brief stint in Ottawa, and then moved to NYC to work at the Clinton Foundation. That time in NYC is what inevitably drew me to Toronto - I wanted to live somewhere that was equally as vibrant and dynamic, and always left me feeling in awe of the city. Toronto was offered that and more: a strong community, eclectic music scene, and lots of distinct neighborhoods to adventure.
What's your current hood in Toronto and what's the best/worst thing about it?
Parkdale! I'm biased, but this is easily the best hood in Toronto. I live directly on Queen West, so steps from my apartment is an abundance of coffee shops, cocktail bars, dive bars, community centres and advocacy firms. What makes this neighborhood unique is its history and community connectivity: originally a working-class neighborhood, it's home to a diverse population and an abundance of affordable housing. The worst thing about the neighborhood (and sadly, I'm a part of it) is the active gentrification and displacement of social housing. Developers trying to make the cozy community the next condo village.
What kind of music do you listen to and what kind of music do you absolutely HATE?
I primarily listen to hip-hop and 90's girl punk (random, I know). Anything that has a great beat or is lyrically subversive. My two favorite artists of all time are Kanye West and Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) - those interests inform the rest of my musical choices. Who do I hate? I try not to "hate" any genuine artist, but if anything - Taylor Swift and the Chainsmokers... calculated pop music without substance. The worst.
You're broken hearted - what tracks does your heartbreak playlist consist of?
Hit 'Em Up - Tupac; Begging for Thread - BANKS; Violets - Hole; Be a Body - Grimes; Oh Woman, Oh man - London Grammar; Always Let You Down - Blood Orange; Too Good for You- Drake & Rihanna; I am a God - Kanye West.
Name the best TV shows of all time, and what makes them so good?
To be terribly stereotypical: I adore Sex and the City. The supportive friendship held among the characters is something I look up to (as is their ability to live in Manhattan on a budget). For something more realistic: Master of None, Dear White People, and Penny Dreadful ( I adore BBC programming).
Name some spots in Toronto that are good for a Tinder date.
I'm a fan of settings where we can hold decent conversation and then maybe going dancing after. So far my #1 favorite is La Carnita on College - they play great hip-hop, have fantastic cocktails and serve cheap (and delicious) tacos. Plus, it is close enough to the bars on Dundas West or Trinity Bellwoods Park to cruise there afterwards for more adventures if the date goes well.
Which public figure would you want to see "roasted"? (every public figure is fair game).
Betsy Devos.
Who's your hero and where in Toronto would you take them out for a serious hang?
Kanye West (like I said, I'm obsessed). He is my hero for being as political as he is musical and artistic, and for that I would like to bring him to Kensington Market and Parkdale for their history and underground venues. For a serious hang, I would start off with getting tea at Cafe Panemar and walking around Kensington Market to check out the shops and the BBQ at Cold Tea. Later, we would stroll down to Parkdale and hang out on my roof that I'm turning into a private venue this summer.
Where do you buy those fabulous clothes of yours?
My favourite boutiques are along Queen West past Bathurst. I adore Oak&Fort, Smoke+Ash, and The Sista'ar shop across from Trinity Bellwoods. For my necessities and work clothes, I stick to Club Monaco or All Saints.
What's the area/ spot in town you'll never be caught dead in?
Liberty Village.
What's the thing you LOVE to do in your city that you never get to do?
I rarely get to explore all the museums and galleries Toronto has to offer. My favourite as a child was the Royal Ontario Museum and I always am wanting to go back spend a day at its exhibits but never have the time (or am always with friends). The have this one exhibit that is this entire room full of old birds and insects - call me creepy, but I adore it.
Where do you go in Toronto for a casual night out?
Pretty Ugly, this new low-key, mezcal-based cocktail bar that reminds me of the hole-in-the-wall speakeasies I would go to in the East Village. The ambiance is dark and casual, the bar tenders always remember your favourite drink, and you walk in feeling like it is your second home. The bar is run by the same people behind the acclaimed Bar Raval along College Street, however Pretty Ugly is for those who prefer liquor over tapas.
Where would you go in Toronto to celebrate some freaking good news?
To a rooftop patio so I can celebrate with my friends under the sun! There are several key rooftop patios in the city: Sky Yard at the Drake Hotel, or The Pilot in Yorkville are two of my favourites. There is the Thompson Hotel as well which is good for celebrations if you are feeling bougie.
What's your choice of transportation in Toronto and why?
Uber! I would usually say public transit, however during rush hour, it can be hard to get downtown quickly (and I'm always running late). The ubers here are quality and efficient.
What are the Toronto spots a first-time visitor can't miss?
Two options: Yorkville and Kensington. Completely opposite vibes (Yorkville is an elegant enclave off of Bay street with designer boutiques and a Parisian atmosphere). But that's what I love about Toronto - it is full of distinct neighbourhoods that always keep you learning and meeting new people. A first time visitor has to see that, see the diversity and meet the incredible people that live here. I would recommend going to Kensington during the day and grabbing food in the market, then wandering the streets of Yorkville at dusk and checking out the galleries and bars.
What are the Toronto spots tourists should run from screaming?
The suburbs. Monotonous and inconvenient, and deprive you of everything that is truly "Toronto."
Tomorrow's your last day in Toronto. How do you spend it?
I would start off by grabbing coffee and a croissant at The Tempered Room. Then I would walk down College and take in the lively daily activities of Little Portugal. From there I would go vintage shopping in Kensington and treat myself to an afternoon at the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario). I would then take the ferry to the Toronto Island to see the sunset and have wine on the beach. If I had enough energy after that, I would rally my friends and get them all to come dancing with me at a hip hop club on Queen.
What's your favorite vacation city in the world and why?
My absolute favourite vacation city in the world is Mumbai. I went time there last April visiting friends in Bandra and never felt so free. It was like NYC but tropical, and everything was alive - never quiet, birds and animals and tuk tuks riding past you every where. Its vibrancy was what made it special - unlike the rest of India, it was quite cosmopolitan. While extreme poverty still exists, it was evident how it economic growth was transforming the city, with its night life and artistic activity flourishing. On our nights out we would ride tuk tuks to underground hotel nightclubs and smoke hash along the beach.

Today's blog post follows Darlene Brine as she pieces together a puzzle for the Archives, and winds up in the branches of her own family tree. This entry was written some time ago for another project, but the recent news of an interpretive site at the Acadian Village of Beaubassin brought it to mind.

Best dive bar in Charlotte! Gem of a music venue , local and national music. Extremely eclectic bar with every inch of wall real estate covered with local and national music memorabilia. Over 100 beers and all the liquor, especially tequila! Two pool tables, Foosball, ring toss, ping pong Table on sand, great for bare feets. Darts inside and outside. Big covered deck with great nooks and crannies. Specialty jerky behind the bar and other snacks. Gourmet hot dogs outside at the hot dog stand, locally inspired. Great atmosphere for an after work drink or for a weekend of music! Tuesday night is open mike night...you never know who you may catch sitting in with the local artists.
Mary Bellard
Fun, great music, food cart outside with hot dogs for you nearwaters, great drinks, and get up and dance music!
Ryan Dillard
Dive bar. Normally not busy. Good selection of bottles and cans. Decent amount of local brews on tap.
Greg Dinnsen
This is my man cave. Cool bar with a nice deck outside, sandy beach area with outdoor ping pong. A great place to watch a band and chill. There's usually someone grilling or smoking something to eat outside. You can also order fuel pizza and eat it inside.
paul zav

S.A. Vigneswaran was the only person standing for the leadership of Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), the Indian-based party that was swept out of power along with the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition at the May general elections.
The party, once the proud representative of the Indian community in the Malaya when it gained independence in 1957, and then Malaysia which was formed in 1963, has an uphill battle to regain its footing.
On Saturday (14 July 2018), it named Vigneswaran as the president, taking over from former president and then federal minister S. Subramaniam.
Vicky, as he is popularly known among his supporters, was a one-time protege of MIC supremo S Samy Vellu, who was also present at the presidential elections at the party's headquarters in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
"Moving forward, it's all about serving the people," former senator and MIC central working committee (CWC) member Daljit Singh told Asia Samachar. He was present at the event.
In 2015, Daljit won a seat in the party's main body. In the same elections, Senator Jaspal Singh won a spot as a party vice president.
