text: I've seen the movie Avatar, and I really liked it. Therefore as I was reading an article about alleged "racism" in Avatar, I wasn't concerned when it warned of spoilers ahead. But they did make a move to spoil a movie for me. Not Avatar of course. But District 9. They made no mention of District 9 spoilers. And then all of the sudden I read this: (more…)

We went to a birthday party last night in Hertford. With Pete's mega-arm-cast, we thought we wouldn't stay too long but still managed to get home after midnight. The birthday girl, Melissa enjoyed herself and I expect a heavy head this morning.
Hertford is a lovely old market town with some impressive buildings and some nice bars and restaurants. We started in one that was quite classy, apart from having a bouncer with a Scorpion tattoo over the whole back of his shaved head... nice! We then went to a bar called The Hertford House Hotel that was packed. I know I will sound old, but I have never enjoyed bars where you are crushed up to the next person and have to shout to be be heard. Luckily, we pushed our way through the crowd (and there were many many cute lads there) to a reserved area.
We had a good time and I think we should make an effort to go back to Hertford for an evening soon (once the cast is off), if only to play 'spot the cute lad'.
One more thing... on the way to Hertford, we were listening to the Radio 2 comedy awards - a live programme with some amazingly talented comedians. Well worth catching it on the iplayer.

Sorry didn't mean to give you a hard time, especially on your anniversary. I've used the gay/straight years thing in conversation with straight friends before. But I made a conscious decision not to again. Ultimately it serves to diminish us in the eyes of straight people - if we don't believe we can have 'normal' relationships then neither will they. It serves to perpetuate stereotypes. Lesson over.ReplyDelete

I think the 36 years joke is funny!ReplyDelete
I dont give a fuck if the straights think we cant hold down a relationship and as a gay dood, I am happy to make fun of stereotypes.
Let's face it, the idiots who think all gay doods sleep around are the sort who will always be anti-gay
I am not getting involved with this anymore or I'll end up putting my foot in it!ReplyDelete
I've done the same stereotypical joke. It's not the bast of jokes but they're stereotypes, there's supposed not be taken seriously...ReplyDelete
Anyway, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
I'm glad you had a nice time in Hertford. I've liked it too.

Valjibhai Rathod, 43, and his family are bracing up to convert to Buddhism, and so are the Sumras and Parmars of Thangadh town of Gujarat's Surendranagar district. And they are not the only ones. Many more Dalits from their town will join them. Three Dalit boys were killed in police firing in this town in September 2012. Fighting a hopeless and losing battle for justice, Valjibhai and others, who had been demanding a memorial at the place where the three boys were killed, built a Baudh Vihar (Buddha temple) there with their own efforts in 2016—just two months after the Una horror in July, when a video of four young Dalit men being flogged and beaten by cow vigilantes in Una went viral, causing outrage across the country.
"The memory of the cold-blooded killing of my son was yet to fade when the Una incident happened," says Valjibhai, who lost his son 15-year-old son Mehul in the 2012 firing. "We were shocked by the flogging of the four young men and realised there was no point expecting to be treated like Hindus. We have no entry into temples, barbers will not cut our hair, we cannot participate in garba festivals, nobody wants to touch us. The Una attack was the last straw. When we are not considered Hindus and are being attacked for that reason, why should we stay in their fold? We decided to construct a Baudh Vihar with our own resources in Thangadh, at the same place where our sons were shot dead, so that we get a temple of our own and a memorial too. Embracing Buddhism is only a formality now and we will do it soon."
The Baudh Vihar in Thangadh is not the only one. Many more have been coming up across Gujarat, especially in the Saurashtra region where Una and Thangadh are located. "Erecting Baudh Vihars is the first angry reaction now as a kind of reply to the Hindus who kick them out of temples," says Keval Rathod, a Dalit activist from Una who is also a Gujarat High Court lawyer and takes up cases of atrocities on Dalits. With a mere three to four per cent conviction rate in Dalit atrocity cases in Gujarat, he admits there is little hope for justice. "Small wonder that attacks on Dalits and their constant humiliation at the hands of the upper castes have continued even after the Una incident. So the Baudh Vihars have become a place of solace," points out Keval, who converted to Buddhism after the Thangadh firing incident.
Conversion to Buddhism has been on the rise in Gujarat and activists involved in it claim some 8,000 to 10,000 people have become Buddhists after the Una incident. This includes the family of Balubhai Sarvaiya, whose four sons were flogged in July 2016, and 350 other families who converted on May 29 this year. The biggest conversion event had happened in Junagadh in 2013, months after the Thangadh incident, when 80,000 people converted to Buddhism, according to the details provided to the then district collector.
The Baudh Vihar in Thangadh
"I mobilised a large number of people for the Junagadh event," says Keval. "It was an organised programme for which we put in huge efforts to get people, but the conversions happening since the Una incident have been largely self-inspired." Dhammachari Anand Shakya, who runs Triratna Baudh Mahasangh, concurs and says, "We converted some 200 families last year on October 14 at Nagpur, on the same day and at the same place where Babasaheb Ambedkar had embraced Buddhism. Many people came on their own and wanted to see the place where Babasaheb had converted." Arguing that disillusionment with Hinduism has been becoming more pronounced since the Una incident, the Budddhist monk adds, "I keep on getting calls to convert someone or the other almost every alternate day. The calls are from people who say there is no point being among those who don't consider them Hindus. They feel more and more frustrated when they see the growing atrocities against Dalits around them."
He is not wrong. According to data with the police, as many as 2,007 cases, including 42 cases of murder, 133 of rape and a large number concerning grievous injuries, were reported in 2016-17 (data till May 2017). And there is no let-up. The recent flogging and killing of a ragpicker in Rajkot was recorded on video, just like the atrocity in Una. Dalit leader and independent MLA Jignesh Mevani says the incidents are continuing with impunity because there is no fear of the law. "Why should Dalit atrocities continue unabated even after the Una incident? This is because the BJP government does not wish to put a stop to it, not only in Gujarat, but also in the rest of the country. They are allowing their toughies a free run," Mevani tells Outlook.
Pointing out that justice has not been done in Una, nor in Thangadh, where an inquiry commission report has been swept under the carpet, Mevani says, "The government tells us the report can't be made public because it could be a threat to the social fabric of the region. Was the incident itself not a threat? Three Dalits boys were killed in deliberate police firing for no reason, but this was not a threat since the Dalits are expected to be docile and not react. Almost no action has been taken against the culprits of Thangadh."
Valjibhai asks what kind of justice can be expected from a government that shields the culprits. Among the accused are four policemen, including two police inspectors and two constables. Three of them are out on bail, but are allegedly continuing on duty despite being accused of murder, while one is said to be absconding. A Special Investigation Team comprising three superintendents of police was formed to look into the Thangadh incident three months after the Una atrocity in 2016, but the inquiry is still on. "Nothing is going to come out of this," says Valjibhai. "This becomes clear from the fact that the police are not arresting Harikrishna Patel, the then superintendent of police in Jamnagar, who admitted to the SIT in our presence that he had indeed ordered the firing."
Vashram Sarvaiya, a victim of the Una atrocity along with his three brothers, tells Outlook, "In our case, unlike in Thangadh, the chargesheet was indeed filed within the stipulated 90 day. Our case was also put up before a fast-track court a couple of months ago. But the sense of impunity among the culprits is still there. One of them, Kiransinh Rajput, attacked my youngest brother Ramesh while he was out on bail. We had gone to the town for some shopping to prepare for our conversion to Buddhism in May. Kiransinh threatened us with dire consequences if we embraced Buddhism. He was arrested again for this, but is now out on bail in this new case too. Now we plan to set up a Baudh Vihar exactly at the same place where the vigilantes had thrashed us for skinning a dead cow." Clearly, anger over the Una incident is still raw in the minds of Gujarat's Dalits, but the state government has been doing little to address it.

Pride Films and Plays to Host Screening of Terrence McNally's Documentary EVERY ACT OF LIFE
Pride Films and Plays will host the first Chicago screening of the documentary EVERY ACT OF LIFE, a feature-length documentary film by Jeff Kaufman about Terrence McNally, one of theatre's most important and prolific playwrights of the last half-century. EVERY ACT OF LIFE profiles McNally's pioneering five-decade career in the theater, focusing on the struggle for LGBT rights and his pursuit of love and inspiration at every age. The 93-minute film features Angela Lansbury, F. Murray Abraham, Larry Kramer, Nathan Lane, Audra McDonald, Edie Falco, Christine Baranski, Patrick Wilson, Billy Porter, and many more artists who have worked with McNally over his career.
EVERY ACT OF LIFE premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City in April of this year and has been screened at various film festivals throughout NORTH AMERICA since then. This a Pride Arts Center film event, and this Chicago premiere on October 28 at 7:00 pm will follow a 3:30 pm matinee performance of Mr. McNally's comedy IT'S ONLY A PLAY. Pride Films and Plays is mounting the Chicago Premiere of McNally's revised script of the comedy, produced on Broadway in 2014.
The screening of EVERY ACT OF LIFE is one of three special events that will be presented during the run of IT'S ONLY A PLAY. The first of the special events will be a reading of McNally's play DEDICATION, OR THE STUFF OF DREAMS. The play, which ran off-Broadway in 2005, concerns a couple who run a children's theatre in a mall in upstate New York. With the possibility of taking over an abandoned vaudeville palace, the couple is forced to examine how far their love of theatre will take them. PFP company member Charles A. Berglund will direct the reading, with a cast including Joan McGrath. The reading will be Sunday, October 14 at 7:00 pm. All seats are $10.00.
The second event will be a reading of MOTHERS AND SONS on Sunday, October 21 at 7:00 pm. MOTHERS AND SONS portrays a woman who pays an unexpected visit to the New York apartment of her late son's partner, who is now married to another man and has a young son. Challenged to face how society has changed around her, generations collide as she revisits the past and begins to see the life her son might have led. The play was nominated for the 2015 Tony Award for Best Play. David Zak will direct the reading, with PFP company members Michelle McKenzie-Voight as the mother and Edward Fraim as her late son's partner. All seats are $10.00.
Tickets for all events are on sale now at www.pridefilmsandplays.com or by phone at 866-811-4111.
McNally's far-ranging works include landmark plays such as MASTER CLASS, LOVE! VALOR! COMPASSION!, and FRANKIE AND JOHNNY IN THE CLAIRE DE LUNE - plays that celebrate men and women-biographical and fictional, gay and straight-who embrace life's possibilities in all their ridiculous and painful glory. He has contributed the books of ground-breaking musicals such as KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, RAGTIME, and THE VISIT, that challenge notions of race, class, and sexuality. In the world of opera, he has created the librettos for the poignant DEAD MAN WALKING and the upcoming GREAT SCOTT at the Dallas Opera. Some of his other plays and musicals include THE RITZ, THE RINK, THE FULL MONTY, DEUCE, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, MOTHERS AND SONS, A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE, THE LISBON TRAVIATA, LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART; CORPUS CHRISTI, A PERFECT GANESH and ANASTASIA. Pride Films and Plays produced McNally's SOME MEN in 2014.
By the time he won the 1993 Tony for Best Book of a Musical for KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN (the first of four Tony awards), Mr. McNally was already a recipient of multiple Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel, and Obie Awards. He was inducted to the Theatre Hall of Fame in 1996 and has been honored by numerous organizations for his ongoing contributions to the theatre.

If you are an event organizer in Ghana and you are planning to import foreign artistes in the country, here comes and advise for you.
Radio Personality Prince Tsegah has warned Ghanaian event organizers who have the taste of bringing foreign artistes to perform at their events.
Speaking on Hitz FM, Prince said Ghanaians are now developing the taste for local artistes so event organizers should study what the majority likes and do it accordingly.
The Multimedia presenter cautioned that their events can flop if they import foreign artistes that are not popular or are not the taste of event-goers in the country.
Prince Tsegah, who is also the PRO for the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GAMRO) believes this is a sign of victory for the Ghanaian music industry—and the event organizers using many local talents at their event will help the industry in diverse ways.

I can't believe tomorrow marks three weeks here. It's flying.
On Thursday I went shopping in the Rockefeller Center area. I didn't really go to any stores that I wouldn't have shopped at in Indiana (anthropologie, banana republic, h&m), except for the NBC Experience store. Since I was specifically on a mission for work clothes, I didn't buy anything there. I don't think a shirt that says "That's what she said" or "I want to go to there" exactly screams work attire. But I saw a ton of things I wanted. I'm such a tool sometimes.
I ended up heading downtown to Century 21 (as featured on the "To Market, to Market" episode of Sex and the City). It was overwhelming and didn't really have any clothes I liked, but I got some accessories. I will go back for shoes sometime. They had a lot, but I was on a mission for black flats that would be comfortable to walk in around town.
Next I went up to 34th Street and went to a lot of the same stores I had been at earlier, but by this point I had been shopping for almost six hours and was getting tired. I found a cute dress at H&M and a cute top at Banana Republic. I ended up getting black flats at Payless (which I hadn't wanted to do, but they were cute, cheap, and comfortable).
I like shopping in New York. I thought I'd miss malls, but not so much. It's nice walking around outside. And the stores are much bigger. I'm still trying to figure out how to dress here.
On Friday I started my job. It's definitely a step up in terms of skill level. I like the hours- I'll be working 10 to 5 (and still making more money than I was before). My first project was to write an advertorial. It's challenging to learn to write in a new company's voice, but I think it went alright. I'm glad that I'm working again. It was nice to have a few weeks off, but one can only spend so much time on Facebook, Twitter, and Craigslist.
On Saturday I FINALLY ventured out to the Union Square/NYU area. I've only been wanting to do that since I was 16… It was really crowded, but a totally cool area. I went to an awesome bookstore called Strand, and it's basically like a gigantic half price books…. with 18 MILES of books! I bought two. Afterward, I went back to Astoria and got a $12 pedicure.
Today I spent the afternoon at Astoria park reading one of the books I bought- An Education. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I think the movie is only based off of one chapter in the book. It's interesting. It was gorgeous outside today, and really nice to spend the day reading. I'm definitely planning on spending a lot of time at this park. I'm so excited to live across the street from it.
In other exciting news, I signed up for my first class for my publishing certificate! It's called "From Writer to Reader: An Introduction to Book Publishing." I"m really looking forward to it! It starts in two weeks.
I've been trying to coordinate moving into our apartment, and it looks like the storage pod is going to be a big headache. I have to go to the police department to get a permit to park it on the street (since there aren't any parking spots or driveways near my building), and I think it might cost $50. I also have to pay a $75 fee to PODS to have them pick it up the same day. I also need to hire some help. Andy and I can't move everything by ourselves (especially the furniture). The challenge is the time window I have for the pod delivery, and the fact that it's on Memorial Day weekend.
I can't wait until we're all settled in. I love being here, but I still feel like I'm in limbo as a couch dweller.

Chancellor Philip Hammond announced a series of new policies to tackle tax evasion and avoidance during the Autumn Budget. This is a renewed focus on making sure that all tax liabilities are paid, in full, to the Treasury. Its aim is to collect £2bn in taxation during the following five years.
Are the current measures not working?
There have been several previous resolutions to the persistent problems of both tax avoidance and tax evasion. Some are generalised policy changes and others are specific to precise loopholes present in particular financial circumstances.
The government's 'Avoidance, evasion and unfair outcomes package: Budget 2018 brief'' state that: "The tax gap, the difference between the tax that should be paid and the tax actually paid, has fallen from 7.3% in 2005/06 to 5.7% in 2016/17. This is the lowest tax gap in five years, and the second lowest ever."
This can be interpreted as successful implementation of the current measures. But that does not mean that every problem is resolved.
What are the new measures?
Other issues require new policies to meet their precise requirements. One of these directly relates to previous abuse of the R&D Tax Credits scheme. The Chancellor announced several new measures, including:
- Ending VAT avoidance by "ending the practice of purchasing services through offshore branches".
- If businesses go into insolvency, HMRC will be a "preferred creditor". This means that all the tax collected will go straight to HMRC.
- "Stop our general research and development tax credit system being abused by re-introducing PAYE restrictions for the small and medium sized enterprises."
What this means for your R&D tax credit claim
The restriction being placed on the R&D tax credit claim system only applies to those companies that are loss making. If your business is in profit, there are no changes to the rules.
The new rule states that loss making companies can only make an R&D tax credit claim that equates to three times their PAYE and NICs total. This applies to the year in which the R&D tax credit claim is being made. The new restriction starts in April 2020. It is hoped that this new measure will put an end to those defrauding the scheme.
There are some more details about the potential consequences of this new R&D tax credit cap in our previous blog. As always, we're here to talk through the specific impact on your business, just give us a call on 0330 0539 112.

CLEVELAND, OH – The Republic National Committee is making its way to Dallas next week, but they've already gotten a taste of Texas.
One of the cities the committee has in its final four to host the 2016 Republican National Convention is Cleveland. And it's not hard to guess who was center stage to help seduce officials during their visit. That's right, Johnny Manziel.
Mr. "Johnny Football" and other Cleveland Browns rookies were there to swoon and boast about the city, and the schmoozing was in full force.
There's no doubt The Heisman hunk, who got pretty 'buddy buddy' with some big time politicos, was the focal point. And, a day later, a judge threw out the $25 million sexual harassment lawsuit against Manziel. But if you think that sounds fishy, think again. That lawsuit turned out to be bogus.
Dallas just hopes the same can be said for Manziel's impact with the RNC.

Document Shredding Service in Orange County and Not Telling Your Competition What You Are Working On
On a scale of one to five, how excited will you be to give all your business secrets to your competition? Perhaps, you are working on plans now to develop the best gaming software. As the plans are developing, how are you disposing of the data that is no longer needed? Maybe you are just tossing the paperwork in the trash and guessing that it will find its way to the dumpster. If so, you could be setting up your business up for a huge financial and product risk. For example, those pieces of paper may include details about things you would rather keep secret. After all, no one really wants to deliver their businesses secrets to the competition. So, do the right thing and invest in the best Document Shredding Service in Orange County. You will be glad you made the investment to protect business.
Though you could be operating behind locked doors, why you develop your software, is that enough? How is the trash being collected and who is doing it? You need an outside third party that has no vested interest in your business to do it. Further, it cannot be just any third party. You need the best professional service for your business's security. In fact, you will need to have trash bins that stay locked. Further, the shredding must be done in confetti-style. However, it does not end there. You should have a mobile unit come to your business. Next, you need to be able to view the mobile team shredding the documents. The best company will be able to shred 8,000 pounds of data in an hour.
In order to safeguard all your hard work, you have to make the right business decisions. An employee could walk out the door with the trash and your business's secrets. Further, how will you know who it is and what he has done with it? By the time you figure it out, the damage is already been done. Talk to a consultant about Document Shredding Service in Orange County. The right place to get help is 1Shred. It is time to Shred Confidential paperwork the secure way.

Hope this is useful
I had a play around with the Studio Software tonight and came up with this two layered topper for Valentine's cards.
It's an exported DXF and I find that these don't cut particularly fast but hopefully someone will have a use for it.
I think it would look quite nice with a few embellishments added and perhaps a little glamour dust thrown at it...depending of course on who it would be sent to!
Still on the Valentine theme here's a simple word edged card ready to be decorated as you see fit.
I hope it will be of some use. If you'd like to see a made-up version I've added my finished card into the Chat section.

the font is Forte, I'm not sure about where it came from, doing a search only came up with sites for buying it, and Adobe Forte was one of them, so i wonder if that is where I got it, with an Adobe product.
The layers for the card were pearl card, mirror card, and glitter card, and a pearl/kinda mixture card for the inside of the heart.
Grace I'm getting there, 1 step at a time
this is one of my first attempts at doing my own thing maybe someone can use it Jess

I have at last mastered the tutorial for the layered topper. I have made a template and cut it out and put it on a card which I am putting in my gallery!
Thanks to Joyce and Lucille for their help, without them I would still be floundering around with my fills and strokes
My CR seems to have taken over my life!...... Well, until our new grandchild arrives in December!
Just finished this one for hubby. I wanted to do something a bit different this year and came up with this.
Drawn from scratch in KNK and traced in Robo. Font is Amaze Bold.
Hope someone can use it, I have included the mats for the design, but I decided not to use them.
Please forgive me if I am wrong but Valentines Day is the next celebration isn't it?
Well I have designed this with Valentines in mind But could be used for other occasions like Birthday to the one you love.. And maybe Weddings Not really sure on that one But I am sure you will know what occasion you want to use it for should you purchase the card template.
The Lovely Diane has cut and assembled for me and obviously taken the photos too, And I am sure you will agree she has done an amazing Job, and is now part of my Creative Team.
You can see it here and it's just one of the card templates that have been added to the January Sale.
As always Thank you for your visit!!
A bit of fun for Valentine's day !!

The fifth Annual Defeat Depression Canal Pursuit Relay Run for Mental Health made its way through Belleville shortly after noon Wednesday and organizer Clay Williams looked surprisingly refreshed.
Williams, 59, no longer runs the entire route himself, instead relying on volunteers to team up to run legs of the 780 kilometre course which travels along the Trent Severn Canal system from Port Severn, then on to Kingston and up the Rideau Canal System before winding up in Ottawa eight days later on Aug. 17.
Williams began the run in 2015, not only in support of the Mood Disorders Society of Canada Defeat Depression initiative, but also in honour of his wife, his daughter and his sister who all suffer from mood disorders, and in memory of his two older brothers who took their own lives.
On Wednesday, a team of EMS workers at 8 Wing Trenton cruised right on past Gerald B. Hyde Park at the corners of Dundas and Front streets while Williams met with Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis and Belleville councillors Pat Culhane and Sean Kelly.
Williams ran the entire route by himself the first two years of the event, but wasn't shy to admit he now needs volunteers to help complete the run.
"It's not a good idea to run that kind of distance by yourself," he said with a laugh. "In fact, if you wake up some morning and think you'd like to run 780 kilometres for something — I'd suggest you give me a call first."
On a serious note, Williams said although the run has a fundraising component — $15,000 this year — it's more about raising awareness of mental health issues and opening up much-needed dialogue. He said physical activity is also instrumental in dealing with depression.
""First, if you're struggling with a mood disorder, talk to someone you trust. The second part of the message is that physical activity can help make many symptoms of mood disorders more manageable, fitting in with the national Defeat Depression campaign," he said. "We all have an important role to play in removing the stigma around mental illness, so that people can feel comfortable reaching out to seek treatment. I'd simply like people to be less uncomfortable talking about mental health."
The local Member of Parliament said depression touches everyone in some manner and it is important to be able to discuss it openly.
"It's great to raise some money, but we all know somebody affected by mental health issues and something like this raises awareness and makes it easier to talk about," he said.
Mood Disorders Society national executive director David Gallson said people need to be able to ask for help without shame.
"Over the last few years Clay has done a tremendous amount of work, bringing awareness to the issues and raising some money along the way," he said. "He goes out and speaks of his own issues, his family's issues and is very knowledgeable. Mental health strikes everyone, but if your a first responder or working in the military, you come across traumatic experiences and sometimes it doesn't hit you right away, but comes back to haunt you a couple of years later. At that point you have to be comfortable asking for support because we all need it at some point in our lives.
More information about the Defeat Depression Canal Pursuit for Mental Health can be found on the Canal Pursuit Facebook page www.facebook.com/canalpursuit and on Twitter @canalpursuit. Daily communications during the run and GPS tracking are also part of this campaign. Donations are greatly appreciated – large and small – all count! There are two ways people can donate:

There are signs of life from the other side of the rainbow – your soul shining across to me.
I'm no longer sad for your departure, I have learned you have never left.
You bloom in every rose, you smile in every sunshine, we breathe the same air.
I celebrate your life and love as I celebrate all others and the entire eternity.
63 words, poem and photos/ and roses grown by -Adela Galasiu / memyselfandela June 2018
Dedicated to my father Ioan, for his birthday, 24.06.1949. Happy birthday dad, the roses bloom for you!
Happy Orthodox Easter!!!
Christ Is Risen! True He Is Risen! Христос воскрес!
"Christ is Risen from the dead
Trampling down death by death
and to those in the tombs
He is bestowing life!"
Rest. Rewind. Resilience
Thought of the day: Regardless of what you believe deep inside, that you can make it or not, YOU ARE RIGHT!
There's a time for work, for words and definitely for thoughts in between. After my year off to explore life, I am now back with more energy than ever and hopefully with more wisdom as well. Having taken some time to rest and rewind, the consequence was a greater resilience but also the epiphany that life is much simpler than we think it to be. We are the authors of the complications and we are the blind paying for it too.
It finally feels like spring. An even though there are battles to be won and tasks to be accomplished, it all starts with a grain of hope. Or a grain of trust in our own ability to make it.
There are many people out there who work very hard, yet who (captive in their own existence) cannot see the wood for the trees. They never understand how important they are for others and this is because nobody has ever told them what a great job they do or what incredible abilities they have to make this world a better place with their efforts, every day.
This thought goes out to all those quiet awesome people who do not know how great they are because they are humble. Who may not even appreciate how hard they work because nobody gives them a kind word. They may not trust themselves because nobody else trusts them.
If you know any of those people, do a great thing today: Tell them a big THANK YOU for being themselves. Tell them to carry on because they make such a difference. And tell them to believe they will make it. And it will happen.

Soul Garden
Amazing thing
this human soul
million foes ambush it
thousand adversity winters wash it off
yet it rises from hell
blooming again.
22 words & photo- memyselfandela/ adela galasiu , July 2017
essential readings flow over the sky
in scattered light feathers of transparency,
souls of angels dancing in abstract patterns of joy,
leaving behind the dull grey led of stormy clouds.
take the sun for a heart
to fill you with the rhythm of light,
overflowing the limits of your human syncope
and the chasms of your mind.
I am there, dissolving in the blue,
setting and rising, silent ray following the sempiternal shine,
eroding heart growing again to be human
remembering that I was once meant to be born free.

John's Day
It was a kind reminder of a Saint's day
moved too soon in the life after life
where flowers never wither, and rivers are always fresh,
and the human heart is forever coherent.
John has not killed any dreadful dragons
still, in a humble sacrifice
he has blessed others and has made possible the glory
of the true Life.
I have found these faint memories
in the depths of an imaginary drawer
with fields of gold tenderly waving in the wind
like the breath of my father on his birthday.
Dedicated to my father, John, born on St. John's day, June 24th.

I have looked death in the eyes few times. For others but also for myself. I have been often told that there's no God and no afterlife, but folllowing my encounters with death I guess I am too convinced of the contrary to listen to those sceptic voices. I do respect what other people think, but respecting others will never reduce my beliefs to nothing, on the contrary.
Most of the people have an absolutely disgusted look on their face when they hear about death. Some venerate it. Some fear it to the extent that they don't even want to think about it. We're all aware it exists. Most of us cannot understand it. But the same death that means decay, foulness, nothingness and still, is part of us just as much as it has been part of our ancestors too.
People turn their face away from death because they are scared or because they have been taught that it can bring disease or that it is unclean. Or because they prefer to concentrate on the life, rather than see the whole process, black and white, doing and undoing, life, death and new life again. For the immediate you and me, what matters is today, what we do, what we have, what we eat, where we go. But we live in a society that is equally one of death as much of one of life, isn't it? Or maybe even more one of death than one of life? We eat meat, we cut flowers, people hunt, people get cremated and buried or offer their bodies to science. People sell weapons and wars are being fought. Some people thrive while others starve to death.
There is not only the beauty and goodness daily put on display for sales targets, but also the reverse side of it all. There are not only new born babies and blooming flowers, but also dead people laid to rest and entire systems that revolve around death itself. From the undertakers that earn a fortune while dealing with grieving families to the little beetles that eat decaying flesh, all have a little part in it.
Some of the birds that have nested last year have died, and a suite of insects and plants contribute now to taking apart and redistributing every material atom of them. Every little creature and plant that dies gets quickly surrounded by a cortege of creatures, just like a circus that comes to town and gets very busy before the show. Behind the scenes of it all nothing gets saved or lost, but everything is transformed in new matter for life, and so new life can find the raw minerals needed for it to emerge again.
Many years ago, as I was dealing with the water that was trying to find its way into my lungs, I had forgotten who I was or what I wanted from life. What I had eaten that morning or what I had in my bank account had no meaning at all. It was all worthless and the only thing I could gasp for was a breath of air. I was, I guess, not different than a wounded bird that beats its wings one more time before it takes a last breath. A little part of me knew that it could have been the final moment that day. And yes, it was scary. Scary because I had no idea what was about to happen. Horribly scary because I had no control over my own life. There and then I was not ready to give up. Between few heartbeats and a hope for air it occurred to me that I had not appreciated life truly until then. And God how I wanted to live!
In a mysterious way, a hand has been stretched my way. Not only a friendly material hand, but also a divine one. Then, when I finished coughing, with a horrible salty aftertaste and a stomach full of seawater, feeling sick and wet, I thought that it was not the time to go just yet, not until I would have learned the lesson of what life was all about. I think I was determined to take life more seriously.
I think I understand life and death more now, but like any person that has been sightless for many years, I am now awfully blinded by the intense light of the truth. That moment of salvation, the spark of life in my veins and the thought that accompanied them cannot be the result of an evolutionist theory, they are rather a mystery that my human mind is not ready to embrace just yet.
Other creatures are unaware of the realities of our human life. Birds and animals and plants cannot understand our complicated life and needs, our food, our languages, our customs. They do not consider themselves the greatest in the universe like we do. They have no idea what mathematics or science are, yet they are very much alive and lead a simple happy life. There are a limited number of neurons in our skulls, how could they possibly perceive the infinity of the universe? It is impossible. I am convinced that us humans cannot understand the whole complexity of life, all the dimensions that surround us, all the beauties of the universe and even less the mystery and greatness of the Creator of it all.

Ferry firm amends bookings for extra Brexit crossings
Version 0 of 1.
Thousands of cross-channel ferry passengers have had their bookings amended to accommodate extra sailings in case of a no-deal Brexit.
Brittany Ferries said timetables from Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth were being modified to ensure "critical goods" could still be transported.
Some passengers took to social media after the firm got in touch to tell them their trips had been cancelled.
Brittany Ferries said about 10,000 customers were affected.
In December, the government announced it was awarding £102.9m to three suppliers to provide extra capacity to ease congestion at Dover if the UK leaves the European Union without a deal on 29 March.
French company Brittany Ferries was awarded £46.6m, £42.5m was awarded to Danish shipping firm DFDS and £13.8m to British firm Seaborne Freight.
A statement on Brittany's website said: "The contract guarantees space on some of our ships and Channel routes for the delivery of critical goods post-Brexit, like medicines.
"It has been described as a kind of insurance, or safety net, to help ensure the smooth transit of these critical goods in the event of a no-deal Brexit after the 29th March."
A spokesman said about 5,000 bookings - 10,000 passengers - were affected.
He said: "In most cases it's no change or a small change. But In some cases it can involve moving from an overnight sailing to a morning or afternoon sailing or vice versa.
"We apologise in advance for any inconvenience that these changes may cause, but hope that the additional sailings will offer customers more choice."
The affected Brittany routes (and ships) are:
The company said it had modified its schedules and was contacting all affected customers.

The whole week is highlighted in yellow on my calendar.
We're not going anywhere but we plan to venture to the pool every day, and I hope to indulge myself with a stack of books.
Today seems like good day to do a little on-line book shopping.
If you could take one book to the pool with you this summer, what would it be?
Thanks for your recommendations!
**UPDATED TO ADD: Thank you all for your recommendations. You'll see to the left that I have a very ambitious reading list for the remainder of the year.

• High pinion gears for added ground clearance & better driveshaft angles• The high pinion design allows increased gear surface contact for increased durability• Larger load bearings used around the gear set to reduce flex and create a stronger drivetrain• Single piece axle housing for added strength• 1-piece all-metal locker front and rear• Small pumpkin for increased clearance and a more realistic, scale look• Bolt on link mounts• Knuckle carriers and straight axle adapters have a better mounting system with 10-degree increment adjustments •
Optimized gear ratio – 3.75 compared to 2.92 previously. This reduces
torque twist which is typically seen with other small pumpkin axle
The pinion gear is 6mm above center, this allows for added ground
clearance and better driveshaft angles. The high pinion design has an
increased surface contact for increased durability. Optimized gear ratio
– 3.75 compared the previous at 2.92 – this reduces torque twist at the
axle which is typically seen with other small pumpkin axle designs.
Metal gears are standard – One piece gear/locker design in strong metal
for the main ring gear. The smaller pinion is HD machine cut. Larger
load bearings used around the gear set to reduce flex and create a
stronger drivetrain.
KINGPIN ANGLEThe AR44™ axle
was designed for both aesthetics and functionality. To improve upon the
older AX10™ axle, we designed the steering components with an 8 degree
kingpin angle which results in a positive scrub radius. Making this
change to the pivot point means less tire scrub for steering efficiency
and less load on the steering servo.• 8 degree kingpin angle• Improved scrub radius over the AX10™ axle
The Axial AE-5L ESC is 3S LiPo capable yet easily switched "in the
field" between LiPo and NiMh battery types with a simple jumper – no
more complex procedures.
• LED Light controller built-in with dual LED outputs for headlights/taillights.• Male Star Plug lead - compatible with the most common polarized plug.• Jumper 1 provides a simple plug and play choice between LiPo or NiMh.• Jumper 2 switches Drag Brake settings.• Waterproof design with Star Plug / laser etched heat sink.

In December, nearly 200 nations meeting at the COP21 climate change conference in Paris agreed to take action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to increased global temperatures and rising sea levels. The independent Monmouth University Poll finds that a large majority of Americans acknowledge climate change is happening, although they are divided on whether human activity is mostly responsible for it. The poll also finds a plurality of the public believes the United States will be just as impacted by sea level rise as the rest of the world, with a solid majority saying the effects will reach inland areas as well as coastal communities.
Fully 7-in-10 (70%) Americans say that the world's climate is undergoing a change leading to more extreme weather patterns and sea level rise, including 41% who call climate change a very serious problem. Another 19% say it is a somewhat serious problem and 9% say climate change is not too serious. At the other end of the spectrum, 22% of the public do not believe climate change is happening at all and 8% are unsure.
There is a significant partisan divide in this view. A majority of Democrats (63%) and a plurality of independents (42%) see climate change as a very serious issue, while just 18% of Republicans agree. On the flip side, a plurality of Republicans (43%) believe climate change is not happening at all, compared with just 17% of independents and 10% of Democrats who feel the same.
"The data exposes the extent to which this has become a partisan political issue in the U.S. rather than a scientific issue," said Monmouth University Urban Coast Institute Director Tony MacDonald, who served as a co-organizer of the Dec. 4Oceans Day at COP21. "The compelling science of climate change led to the historic agreement in Paris and the commitment of all nations participating to work together to stem the rise of global warming, increase the use of renewable energy, and increase financing for mitigation and adaptation actions."
While most Americans say that climate change is happening, the public is divided on the major factor behind it. A third (34%) say that both human activity and natural changes in the environment are equally responsible, while just over a quarter (27%) put most of the blame on human activity and 8% put most of the blame on natural changes.
The Monmouth University Poll finds that 64% of Americans support the US government doing more to reduce the types of activities that lead to climate change and sea level rise, while another 26% oppose government action and 4% say it depends. Again there is a sharp partisan divide, with Democrats (77%) and independents (66%) being considerably more likely than Republicans (47%) to support government action. There is also a significant difference in support for government action by age – ranging from 75% of 18 to 34 year olds, 62% of 35 to 54 years olds, and 54% of those age 55 and older. [Note: most of the interviews for this poll were conducted before the Paris climate agreement was announced on Dec. 12.]
Scientists say that one significant consequence of climate change is a steep rise in sea levels around the globe. A plurality (47%) of Americans foresee sea level rise being as much of a problem for the United States as for other countries, while 40% say it will be more of a problem elsewhere in the world. Residents of coastal states are more likely to say the US will be just as affected as other nations by sea level rise (49%) than say the US will be less affected (39%). Residents of inland states are split – 43% say the US will be impacted just as much as other countries and 41% say the impact will not be as significant here.
To the extent that sea level rise affects the United States, more than 6-in-10 (62%) Americans believe that its overall environmental and economic impacts will affect inland areas as well as coastal communities. Just 24% feel the impact will be limited mainly to coastal communities. Majorities, although to varying degrees, of Democrats (73%), independents (60%), and Republicans (53%) agree that sea level rise will impact both inland areas and coastal communities. Residents of inland states (65%) are only slightly more likely than those living in coastal states (60%) to say that inland areas will be just as affected as coastal areas. However, coastal residents are more likely to say that the impact of some specific environmental consequences will be greater in their own communities.
"The polling shows that Americans believe we are all very much in this together. Nearly two-thirds of all respondents and three quarters of younger adults want action from our leaders, even if some in Congress don't believe there's a problem," MacDonald said. "As unusual weather events become more common, the American public recognizes that the risks from climate change and sea level rise are widespread. Superstorm Sandy's landfall in New Jersey was just one stark example that shore communities aren't the only ones affected. The flooding of inland areas and the impacts on critical energy and transportation infrastructure, including disruption of trade at our ports, caused problems that were felt throughout the state and the nation."
Overall, a majority (55%) of Americans say sea level rise will have either a great deal (28%) or some (27%) impact on the environment – ranging from the weather to drinking water quality – in the area where they live. Four-in-ten feel their area will experience either just a little (20%) or no environmental impact (21%) from sea level rise. Among coastal state residents, more than 6-in-10 (63%) expect to feel either a great deal (38%) or some (25%) environmental impact in their communities, compared to just under half (46%) of inland state residents who say the same (16% great deal and 30% some).
The Monmouth University Poll was conducted by telephone from December 10 to 13, 2015 with 1,006 adults in the United States. This sample has a margin of error of + 3.1 percent. The poll was conducted as a joint effort by the Urban Coast Institute and the Polling Institute at Monmouth University in West Long Branch.
