Vega (α Lyr, α Lyrae, Alpha Lyrae) is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, the fifth brightest star in the night sky and the third brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Sirius and Arcturus. It is a relatively close star at only 25 light-years from Earth, one of the most luminous stars in the Sun's neighborhood.
The word comes from the Arabic "al-wāqi '" "an-nasr al-wāqi', which means' eagle landing." Ancient peoples identified their region of the sky making the figure of a bird, including the eagle.
Vega is also known as the Star of the Harp because of Lira, the official name of the constellation in which the star is located. The Lira is usually linked to the Greek legend of Orpheus. Curious to note that in the heady days of the constellation star charts Lira appeared decorated with a bird, a connection of the Greek version with the older forms of the constellation.
The famous scientist and writer Carl Sagan, writing one of his greatest literary successes, Contact – then a box office success film of the same name, puts Vega as a meeting point of a civilization infinitely more advanced than ours.

Classic fermentation method, involving selective extractive enzymes, which are compatible with the active dry yeasts. Fermentation up to 30º C in the first 2/3, and lowering down to 20º C during the last 1/3. During the whole fermentative process, pumping over 2 times per day, using each time half of the volume contained in the vat. After the alcoholic fermentation, the cap is plunged for 30 days, and during that period, extraction of the gentle tannins is conducted, along with the malolactic fermentation and the natural stabilization of the wine.

People gathered to mourn and remember Nelson Mandela today, the first Sunday since his death.
At St. Sabina Church, Father Thulani Magwaza used his sermon to bring home a message from his homeland South Africa; the message to fight and forgive. It was something he learned from Mandela.
Outside the Mandela family home in South Africa today, a celebration of the former president's life took shape. As a younger man, Mandela fought against apartheid and was imprisoned for it.
"Mandela is a fighter. Mandela is a warrior. Mandela is someone who fought for racial and social equality," Magwaza said. What I'm saying is that he should not lose sight of why he went to prison."
The message not lost on the catholic priest, raised under apartheid, who now calls Chicago's St. Sabina church home.

Cold Weather Classes.
Thursday, November 10, 2011
This winter, I'm thinking of enrolling in another course. There's certainly no shortage of choices here in New York City - options I'm considering include perfume blending, a letterpress class, memoir writing, and Cheese 101. So many to choose from, and so little time. Any suggestions? Please share!

Oh wow, what a great selection. I think the letterpress class would be my pick. :)

I've been considering taking a introductory graphic design course myself. However, I think Cheese 101 and Letterpress sound pretty intriguing (and you're a lucky NYer because there's definitely a shortage of courses where I live!)
Good Luck.

i've been sort of obsessed with photoshop since blogshop and have thought about taking more photoshop classes. if you taking something photoshop/photography-esque let me know! for real.

- hrz said...
NooooOoOOoOOOoO! I want to take them all with you. You don't need to do intro letterpress. You already took that class. Remember the hours we spent on Tine's book!?!?!?
Perfume sounds good to me. Then if you are ever unemployed you have a marketable skill to fall back on. That's how I felt about the chocolate truffling business.
But cheese is ALWAYS good.

oh my goodness..that is why i love the city! i say perfume blending!! :)

perfume or cheese. just don't mix the two.

my votes are with letter press or cheese 101! also if there is a printmaking class i would take advantage of that. I could see you making amazing creations!

Wow! Thank you all so, so much! I have so many ideas now - this is great. I'll definitely keep you posted on what I end up doing!

5 More Super Heroes For Jason Momoa
Listen, we all know that Jason Momoa will play Aquaman in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It's been rumored for a while and accepted as a cold hard fact by most of the comic book community, but the actor himself refuses to confirm his involvement in the next DC Comics film. He recently appeared at the Evolution Expo in Oakland, California and remained vague about his potential journey under the sea.
While the words "aqua" and "man" may not have been uttered in the same sentence, he did share a few of his thoughts regarding the types of heroes he would like to play one day. "I think it would be really, really fun to play a superhero," he said, specifying that he views himself as more of an anti-hero. "I don't see myself in tights a lot… So, not the smiling, parading to saving the world kind of guy." If Momoa won't confirm that he's bringing an edge to Aquaman, we'll just have to cast him in five other roles; if this rumor turns out to be false, here's hoping he ends up as one of these guys.
If he's not going to play DC's king of Atlantis, then he ought to try his hand at Marvel's. With his arrogant attitude and headstrong demeanor, the Sub-Mariner fits much more in line with Momoa's preferred style of brash hero than the altruistic Aquaman. Of course there's the whole matter of Namor's film rights; the character's currently the only super hero claimed by Universal, meaning that any Namor film will be a standalone affair, completely unaffiliated with any existing super hero franchise. For that reason alone, it's probably in the actor's best interests to rule the oceans over at Warner Bros. as Aquaman.
With time travel and Apocalypse already in play as part of Fox's growing X-Men film franchise, it's only a matter of time before they introduce Cable. The hardened, militaristic, gun-toting cyborg is a fan favorite and one of the few characters from the early '90s boom to survive—and thrive—in the ensuing two decades. Momoa's imposing 6'4″ frame would look even more intimidating when half coated in techno-organic metal, and he's got the exact right amount of commanding presence to build an entire team of mutants like X-Force around.
In addition to Aquaman, Momoa's also been attached to the role of the interstellar bounty hunter named Lobo. While those rumors didn't pan out, we have to admit it makes perfect sense. The ultimate bastich needs someone to play him that simultaneously exudes menace and a crazy level of cool. Have you seen pictures of the guy? Momoa does that effortlessly. It doesn't hurt that the actor's fully aware of the character and has talked pretty openly about how cool it would be to play him. We're not sure where a mercenary like Lobo would fit in with the fledgling DC Cinematic Universe, but it probably wouldn't be hard to work him in considering the gritty tone established in Man of Steel.
Marvel Studios could snatch Momoa up and cast him as any one of their big bruiser characters. Khal Drogo would make perfect sense as Marvel's version of Ares, the God of War. While the character initially started off as a bad guy, he eventually came around and joined the Mighty Avengers after the events of Civil War. His history as both a hero and a villain means he could pop up in any number of places in the rapidly expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. Drop him on the streets of Manhattan in Netflix's Defenders, or pit him against Thor in the next Thor film. Just picture Momoa swinging a big axe around and tell us this wouldn't be awesome.
So far there's only one classic member of the Justice League left unaccounted for between all the casting news and franchise installments listed on the possibly genuine film slate: Martian Manhunter. Screenwriter David Goyer made headlines and caused headaches with a few disparaging comments about the fan favorite Leaguer, but maybe he'd change his mind if he saw the tough-as-nails Momoa go green. J'onn J'onzz is a fantastic character with enough dignity and gravitas to go around. Momoa could embody that aspect of the character easily, and he could also bring a very necessary level of physicality to the role.

Build Guide by Stexer
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Dr. Mundo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
To start off, go with Doran's Shield and a Health potion. Mundo's abilities cost health, and he doesn't have that much to start off compared to what you will get, so the health pot will help you keep alive for the laning phase.
Use Infected Cleaver to last hit on every minion you can, as well as harassing opponents in your lane. I normally don't leave the lane until I am level 7 or 8. Notice with Mundo's abilities costing hp, you probably won't have full hp. When I hit level 6, I just use his ulti to gain HP to stay in the lane for a bit longer. Once you have enough money, go buy Boots of Speed, and then buy Spirit Visage (1700ish gold). Spirit Visage is amazing.
Continue to last hit minions in your lane until you have enough to get Giant's Belt, or if you are feeling like you are all that, you can just save up to get a full Warmog's without going back and forth to buy separate items.
In the midst of this, if you see yourself getting a possible kill, go for it, just do not, I repeat, do NOT get greedy.
Usually once you get your Warmog's you will be out of the laning phase for the most part, and some fights will start to occur. Just keep trying to harass/kill enemies, and last hit minions when possible.
I usually bait my opponents into attacking me when I am at half health with ulti ready to be popped. With the amount of damage your cleaver does, you will probably kill them before they can kill you.
Once you have enough money, go finish off your boots, I like to go Beserker's Greaves, but it depends on your opponents. If they are high in fears/stuns/etc, go for Merc Treads. Fiddlesticks hates Merc Treads on Mundo, :).
Next item is Atma's Impaler, just an amazing item. The armor is a nice boost, you'll usually get around a 60-70% damage reduction with this build, depending on if you get Ninja Tabi or not.
If you are dying a lot, you probably aren't doing your job, but you can get Guardian Angel. If you aren't dying a lot, and if you got Beserker's Greaves earlier, go for Infinity Edge.
In late-late game, you can sell your Doran's Shield to build Phantom Dancer if you want to.
I usually go pretty good with this build. I went 11/0/13 with it on Rift a couple days ago. I am satisfied with it.
Go easy guys, this is my first build :). Advice would be appreciated.

Once you become an adult, you can no longer wear your varsity letterman's jacket, and not just because it doesn't fit anymore. For anyone looking to win the equivalent of "Best Personality" or "Most Likely to Succeed," there is a mechanism to gauge your importance in the adult world: Facebook.
Recently, the American Pediatric Association issued a warning to parents about children and social media sites coining the term "Facebook Depression." This can occur when teens spend a significant amount of time on social media sites.
The association believes that the intensity of the online world can trigger social isolation, rivalry, and risky behaviors in teens. Perhaps "Facebook Depression" is a condition that afflicts not just our children, but us adults as well.
When Facebook first came out, it was a safe haven from MySpace. People in their 30s finally had an age-appropriate forum to stay connected and live up to their yearbook promise to K.I.T. (Keep in Touch). You got to see which one of your former high school classmates succeeded and who still lives at home in their parents' basement.
But once you reconnected with the girl who refused to dissect the fetal pig in biology (yes, that was me), you developed an insatiable desire to create a fiefdom of acquaintances, co-workers, family, and friends. You didn't want to be the Facebook equivalent of the high school nerd. So, you "friended" your friends' friends in some vain attempt to become the big man on campus.
Facebook is "Keeping up with the Joneses" on acid.
You can instantaneously receive status updates as to what all 500 of your closest friends are doing. Yes, I really need to know that my former college roommate is going to "get her drink on" tonight. Thank goodness the Joneses just informed me, and all of their friends' friends, one of whom is on parole for residential burglary, that they are leaving their house vacant on a trip to Las Vegas.
Facebook can make you feel like the pimply girl home alone on a Saturday night with her pint of ice cream. I'm glad it was girl's night out last weekend, but I was home with a sick child dodging projectile vomit. Facebook has become a popularity contest, and no one wants to be the last kid picked in gym class.
Because of our innate need to feel important and relevant, Facebook becomes a platform to let the Joneses know that our lives are exciting too, even though the highlight of our night is playing Farmville until our fingers bleed. But, "Keeping up with the Joneses" becomes "Guess what crazy thing the Joneses did on their trip to Vegas that is now captured in a tagged photo on Facebook?"
But, as more of the details of their wild vacation emerge via status updates, my depression quickly becomes a mild case of the Facebook blues. My jealousy over the fact that they got to see the sun quickly dissipates after being bombarded by details of their weekend of debauchery. What happened in Vegas certainly did not stay in Vegas and all of the Facebook community, including Mr. Jones' boss, now knows about their misadventures.
Facebook has become a public forum where people foolishly document the intimate details of their lives when they should heed the sage advice of their mothers and keep some things private. Perhaps if we model restraint on Facebook and exhibit appropriate online behavior, our children's Facebook Depression will be cured. Or, in the alternative, simply adjust your privacy settings. Our hijinks should stay in high school where they belong.

In my 17 May post Sheridan in Love 4, I had occasion to quote from (& critically discuss) the European Union Monitoring Committee on Racism & Xenophobia's 'working definition of anti-Semitism'. One element of that definition is 'drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis'. Of course, as pointed out in my post, for Zionist propagandists, the drawing of comparisons of contemporary Arab/Iranian policies to that of the Nazis has become a staple of their craft, with Nasser, Saddam Hussein, Arafat, and Ahmadinejad all being condemned, at one stage or the other, as risen Hitlers.
The hypocrisy and ideological bias of automatically ruling out such comparisons (indeed, condemning them as anti-Semitic) when it comes to Israeli leaders, policies and practices, while routinely employing them to demonise Arab and other leaders and ignoring their use in other contexts, was highlighted recently in two media reports.
In the first, Parliamentary scuffle over Third Reich comparison (The Australian Jewish News, 22/5/09), we learn that Labor MP Steve Gibbons had delivered a speech in federal parliament in which he commented that shadow minister Tony Abbott showed "all the compassion of the Third Reich" when it came to aged pensioners. This comparison was roundly condemned by Liberal MP (& Chairman, Australia/Israel Parliamentary Group 1996-2004) Christopher Pyne as displaying a "total lack of regard for the sensibilities of Jewish Australians... who were persecuted in both Germany and other conquered territories."* And was Pyne's motion to condemn Gibbon's heinous crime backed by Labor MP (& federal parliament's most strident defender of Israel) Michael Danby? In a word - no.
[*Imagine if he'd used the term 'occupied territories'?]
In the second, Holocaust of torture exposed in a litany of unredeemed sin (The Australian, 22/5/09), Times journalist Ruth Gledhill wrote of the findings of Ireland's Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, namely that Irish Catholic-run institutions had engaged in the torture, rape and beating of thousands of orphans going back to 1914, that "It would be no exaggeration to call this a holocaust of abuse." Expecting to find today's letters page of The Australian overrun with complaints at such an 'inappropriate' comparison, I in fact found - nothing.

By Candy Pilar Godoy, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Thoughts of Rio usually conjure images of beautiful beaches, sultry samba steps and tropical fruits, but ask anyone during rush hour and the picture is sure to change. People commuting to and from work, overcrowded public transport, and a maze of honking cars dominate the city, transforming the Cidade Maravilhosa into a living nightmare. Yet however hard it might be to navigate, there are a few ways to ensure an easier commute.
Like most large cities, the flow of traffic is severely hindered during the rush hour commute, when neighborhoods that are generally easy to access become fortresses of congestion. Centro, the downtown daytime bustling Mecca of business, is a prime destination for workers every morning between 6 and 10AM. Yet the area becomes a ghost of itself at night, when people head home and traffic moves in the opposite direction.
"It's a nightmare," says one commuter, "getting to Centro from Tijuca in the morning can take twice as long due to traffic."
Traveling to or from Barra da Tijuca during evening rush hour is especially difficult, as the masses escape the inner-city, head into the outskirts, and clog the roads and highways. Zona Sul (South zone) also poses a problem during both morning and evening, as people trudge in and out to work and party.
Since the number of cars in Rio de Janeiro has grown forty percent in the last decade, it comes as no surprise that traffic congestion is an increasing problem. Law enforcement presence on the road ranges from sporadic to non-existent, and the city suffers from tricky weather conditions (rain and flooding) and narrow streets. Programs of traffic management have increased however, and provided hope for improvement.
Buses, Rio's main form of public transportation, always run more frequently during rush hour. There are almost 440 municipal bus lines serving over four million passengers each day, in addition to intercity lines. The city plans to implement four rapid transit buses that will connect Rio's most populous regions, as well as to begin a green initiative for sustainable transport that will use new buses operating on ninety percent compressed natural gas.
Above-ground commuting is not always ideal however, and many choose to head down into the metro subway to save time. Although subway cars tend to be overcrowded, they are able to escape traffic jams and honking cars.
Rio has two subway lines that span over 26 miles and operate at 35 stations, along with several commuter rail lines. Future plans include a third line to Barra da Tijuca and Zona Oeste (West zone), as well as the expansion of Line One, which will allow for a quicker commute and more passengers.
Others hoping to escape traffic can resort to two wheels. There are over ninety miles of bicycle paths crisscrossing the city, mainly along the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, Flamengo and Lelbon, as well as a path circling Lagoa. An additional ninety miles of path are planned for 2012.
Brazil is no stranger to major traffic congestion. São Paulo once held the record for world's worst traffic jam when over a quarter of all streets in the city were completely backed up.
In a city where navigating, whether road or rail, can certainly pose a challenge, it's best to tackle the urban jungle with patience and a smile, and an extra thirty minutes planned.

The platform i3F editorial rests on four foundation pillars:
- Development and reading documents in PDF format
- The use of web services and network queue
- The infrastructure for the Apple In App Purchase
- Web services using the editor
Let's see in detail.
PDF Reader
The basis of the reading of the documents is the PDF Reader. To understand the work that is behind this technology, we begin by making reference to that IOS provides its developers.
PDF support and 'native support within the framework Quartz, the 2D graphics framework installed in Mac OS X and successfully brought in IOS. To understand the importance of PDF in operating systems from Apple, suffice it to say that PDF is not 'seen as any output format, but in fact any view graphics in Mac OS X and IOS can' be reproduced as a PDF, which in fact turns out to be the prince format for printing based on Quartz. This explains why 'is in Mac OS X support for PDF in Ios, both inbound and outbound, and' natural and does not require the installation of external software (as is the case in Windows, where the input requires 'installation of Adobe Reader, the output requires the use of appropriate plug-in).
That said, this' does not mean that things are easy. In fact, the support provided by iOS is essentially limited to the possibility 'to' read 'and understand a PDF file, but only to the functions of rendering on paper or video, while the interpretation of all other data (outline, thumbnails, annotations, etc. .) and 'left to the programmer.
The PDF reader that comes with the app produced by i3F Editorial and 'continuous work in progress, subject to continuous improvements and support of new possibilities'. Currently it offers the following features' base:
– Support for iPhone and iPad
– Fast rendering of the page in portrait format (horizontal) and landscape (vertical, two-page spread), with caching for faster performance
– No limit on the number of pages supported (or at least no limit in addition to any provided by the platform IOS)
– Completely based on the rendering engine of IOS, so no surprises in the transition of the application across several operating system versions
– Loading thumbnails in multi-threading
– Mini-thumbnail (style iBooks)
– Function scrubbing of the page (with display of page number and / or thumbnail)
– Pre-loading outline (table of contents with all its hierarchical structure) and the comments (link)
– Intra-document annotation (jump page), and to external links
– In addition to standard support of external links (http:and mailto: within the application, any other url patterns to other app installed by the user, eg skype:) support links owners to stream video directly by the JPA and for displaying photo galleries, and this 'means that the publisher will be' able to create multimedia packages (PDF + multimedia) simply by defining the links within its graphical tool that generates the PDF, without having to weigh and implement all the technical complications due to the inclusion of media files directly into PDF (Recall that Quartz does not support these types of files, effectively ruling out this information.) Support for these links and 'gradually increasing.
– Search function tests in multi-threading (ie the use of the document is not locked)
– Save the last page viewed (auto-bookmarks)
Library management
The interface defined by the library i3F Editorial is based on some commonly accepted standard templates (eg shelf covers iBooks style, window style or covers in the App Store), although i3F Editorial is a software package but a team of designers and developers able to implement any request is made by the user. The iPad and 'a formidable creative platform, so they are well liked editors who want to bring this creativity' even within applications.
What is 'common hand and' the technical aspect behind this approach. Currently, the composition of the publisher of the archive, and library users, are contained in files (in various formats, depending on the complexity 'of the archive, ranging from XML to JSON actual SQLite database to , the most 'complex). The files can be managed entirely by the editor through our web platform and can be installed on servers hosted by the owners or i3factory (which in turn uses deemed reliable provider '). At any time the publisher and 'capable of varying the composition of its stock and make it instantly with a single click, after pre-testing always possible publication through our applications.
Once the file is defined, the application tries to start the last update was available. From this moment on, each publication can 'overcome several states in the shop (if paid), to download (for free or if already' purchased) to be installed, to read. The passage of these states and 'carried out safely and fully multi-threaded: that' means that you can 'interact with the application (or even suspend it if the download) without having to wait for the download of the entire package. In addition, the media can be packaged into a single file – in this case, however, 'the download time will be' more 'long – or can be downloaded on demand (this is where the media are considered optional to the use of the product).
In App Purchase
Following the latest news 'introduced by Apple in the rules for approval of applications and content for a fee, we provide as a single solution for the purchase of In App Purchase, namely the ability' to purchase publications via App Store (remember that these transactions Apple holds 30% of the price charged to the customer).
In any case i3factory and 'willing to provide solutions to purchase additional wholesale App Purchase, based on external websites provided by the publisher. These solutions are not provided as standard and should be agreed from time to time, this peche 'need' from time to time consider all the complex 'due to the security of transactions and payments made via the web. I3F does not make any kind of support on different forms of payment from the App Store, which will then be dealt with by the customer: in such cases will deal i3F 'integration within the application only.
Web services for the publisher
The publisher will be 'able to manage the archive of publications via web interface, based on standard Web 2.0 methodologies. This interface will allow ':
– The inclusion of new publications
– The definition of links and multimedia content loading
– Archive management (edit, delete, categorize and tested)
– The ability 'to temporarily remove from sale certain publications
– Anti-hacking encrypted transactions
Recall that due to the presence of In App Purchase, sale prices and any content will be replicated within the service iTunesConnect Apple. By regulation we can not provide solutions that automate this task.
The entire package will be 'provided in self-installing package based on PHP and requires the minimum server software support and which we believe is standard in the grand total' of the equipment required to a publisher.

The Furious Flowering of African American Poetry
AFRICAN AMERICAN POETRY, with its wellsprings in jazz and vernacular culture and its inescapable political dimension, stands among the most important bodies of literary work of the twentieth century. This collection of essays and six lively interviews with practicing poets, arising from the now-famous Furious Flower Conference of 1994, provides a mosaic of the major critical and aesthetic issues emerging from the poetry and its literary milieu.
African American poets writing in the last fifty years have raised their voices in the struggle against racism, sexism, political and economic exploitation, violence, and injustice. Gwendolyn Brooks, Rita Dove, Haki Madhubuti, Sonia Sanchez, Amiri Baraka (aka LeRoi Jones), Joyce Ann Joyce, Sherley Anne Williams, Michael S. Harper, Margaret Walker and many others have created lyrical beauty in their exploration of public and private concerns. Unlike any previous scholarship, The Furious Flowering of African American Poetry draws readers into a dialogue with leading poets and critics of African American literature and culture. The interviews and critical essays address the adequacy and appropriateness of theoretical models for assessing the work of black poets, the construction of a literary framework in which to place the poets and their work, and the art and purpose of the poets themselves.
Furious Flower: African American Poetry from the Black Arts Movement to the Present
A FASCINATING PORTRAIT of African American poetry at the close of the twentieth century, this book also offers an indication of where it may be headed in the twenty-first. It includes biographies of the contributors and a dynamic collection of performance photographs by C. B. Claiborne featuring many of the poets as they performed at the second Furious Flower Conference, held in 2004 at James Madison University.
The forty-three poets cover three generations, ranging from such established voices as Michael Harper, Nikki Giovanni, and the late Gwendolyn Brooks, in whose honor the conference was organized, to a host of rising young writers who are reimagining America in the language of a hip-hop nation.

Mourning Katrina: A Poetic Response to Tragedy
THE MOURNING KATRINA NATIONAL WRITING PROJECT helped survivors deal with the emotional trauma of their experience through writing poetry. This book was born out of human suffering and owes its existence to the cooperation and generosity of spirit of more than three hundred people who participated in the Project.
This amazing collection of poems was born out of human suffering. It's about devastation and grief, the politics of poverty and race, and the failure of society to act humanely … But it's also about hope and healing.
When Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf Coast leaving over 1800 dead and 1.3 million homeless, editor Joanne V. Gabbin was shocked and angry at the government's slow response. Gabbin—a Professor of English at James Madison University — launched the Mourning Katrina project to help the victims sort out the disaster's horrific events.
Mourning Katrina is the result of that literary outreach. More than 200 participants—young and old, neophytes and master poets alike — give voice to the rainbow that comes after the storm, the revival of spirit that comes out of the depths of tested faith.
Mourning Katrina is about anger, grief and hope, memory and music, accusations and prayer. "The voices in this poetry," notes Lisa Tracy, author of Muddy Waters: The Legacy of Katrina, "may be the very best way to make sure we do not forget. Because it's not over yet, and we must not forget."

Shaping Memories: Reflections of African American Women Writers
TWENTY-FIVE PROMINENT BLACK WOMEN WRITERS reveal decisive moments in their careers in short essays. With contributions from such figures as novelist Paule Marshall, folklorist Daryl Cumber Dance, poets Mari Evans and Camille Dungy, essayist Ethel Morgan Smith, and scholar Maryemma Graham, the anthology provides a thorough overview of the formal concerns and thematic issues facing contemporary black women writers.
Editor Joanne Veal Gabbin offers an introduction that places these writers in the context of American literature in general and African American literature in particular. Each essay includes a headnote summarizing the writer's career and aesthetic development. In their pieces these women negotiate educational institutions and societal restrictions and find their voices despite racism, sexism, and religious chauvinism. They offer strong testimony to the power of words to heal, transform, and renew.

For Tepparith the performance was less than spectacular but he did show glimpses of the skills that lead him to scoring notable wins over the likes of Drian Francisco, Daiki Kameda, Tomonobu Shimizu and Nobuo Nashiro. Whilst not the best performance it was, notably, his 13th straight victory and it seems clear that he's finding a groove after some issues in 2014/2015.
From what we understand the Thai, who is amazingly just 27, is set to be back in the ring in May.

Glen Davis acknowledged the skills of Amar'e Stoudemire. But the Celtics' power forward said guarding the Knicks' All-Star is no big deal.
"It's really not that hard," Davis said. "I don't know why. I've been tripping. I give him too much credit. I just have to make him react to me, not me react to him because it's too late. If he gets one step on you, he's too strong and too quick. You just have to make him play your game."
So what must he take away?
"Just his aggressiveness," Davis said. "He's so aggressive. Make it hard on him. It's going to be a dogfight. I just let him know that every play."
Though the Celtics don't have Shaquille O'Neal for Game 1 and probably Game 2, Davis said it "most definitely" won't hurt them against the Knicks, who don't have a bona fide center.
Davis also said the extra rest should benefit O'Neal.
Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni sounded as impassioned as he had since the Feb. 22 trade before leaving yesterday for Boston.
D'Antoni, making his playoff debut as Knicks head coach, got his hackles up when asked if a good representation in the first round will be good enough. D'Antoni's future could hinge on how well the Knicks fare versus Boston the first round.
D'Antoni has one year left on is contract and his status could be tied to team president Donnie Walsh's uncertain future. But D'Antoni is expected to be back if the Knicks give the Celtics a very tough series. D'Antoni laughed when asked about his future.
"I'm going to enjoy this," D'Antoni said. "I hope we have a heckuva series. The other stuff I never really worry about. The time will come we have to do business and we do it. It doesn't enter my mind. I'm happy to coach a team that's in the playoffs and a bunch of guys who really want to win."
D'Antoni has a 26-25 playoff record, accrued in Phoenix. He has been to the Western Conference finals twice. The Suns were eliminated by the Spurs in five games in 2008 three years ago, leading to a rift with Suns management and his departure.
"It was just time," D'Antoni said.
Sources said D'Antoni was mixed on the deal, feeling they gave up too many pieces. Yesterday, D'Antoni was asked how he would feel going to Boston with the old club — with Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton and Timofey Mozgov.
"I loved those guys. I would've been confident going in with them," D'Antoni said. "Melo [Carmelo Anthony] and Chauncey [Billups] have been there a lot, so you are more confident, but some of it is rattled by not being together long. I like the other group too but the franchise is richer and better and the future is going upward. I'm hoping it starts now."
Walsh will travel with the club during the playoffs. Walsh, who had hip-replacement surgery in November, made his first road trip last Sunday to Indiana. . . . Owner James Dolan is likely to appear in Boston today over the Rangers' playoff game at the Garden. . . . The Knicks' last playoff win was April, 2001 over Toronto.
Many watching this series first round series are really looking forward to the Anthony-Paul Pierce matchup.
Pierce is not one of them.
"We're looking forward to the matchup with the Knicks. I don't really play the one-on-one battle games because I'm not going to be the only one guarding him," Pierce said. "You'll have Jeff [Green] guarding him, Ray [Allen] guarding him. That's not what I'm concerned about."
Celtics coach Doc Rivers has seen the difficulty in guarding a bevy of great scorer from the plus side with Kevin Garnett-Pierce-Allen. Now he has to see it from the opposite view as he prepares to go after Anthony, Stoudemire and Billups.
"That's a burden. That's a tough one," Rivers said. "Every time you get in a close game with them, it's extremely dangerous because they've got three guys that can just make shots whether you play good defense or not. So yeah, that's what makes this series so tough.
"The playoffs are about taking you out of your sets," he said. "Players make the plays. And they have three guys who can make plays so we have to be ready for them."

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
So. Last year I had an appointment with a big-deal skincare guru in New York.
As she went to work on my skin, she dished that a famous client -- one of the "top three female celebrities" -- spends too much time on airplanes (?) and in heavy makeup. And that said celebrity wears the wrong makeup and that it emphasizes her fine lines and wrinkles.
Then my facialist got nervous and upset with herself a little; you could tell.
"I perfect her skin, and then the makeup artist destroys the results," she said, sort of vaguely. She stopped working on my face for a second and seemed very agitated in her chair.
What was going on? She completely clammed up for the rest of the appointment while I wondered what had gone down. The whole thing was extremely strange. Were they in a fight? Had the guru been dropped by the celeb and was lashing out that day? I never knew.
Regardless, I was reminded that yes, celebrities are just like us! They wear the wrong foundation for their skin type. And this is also why beauty editors and makeup artists are forever obsessed with finding the best foundations and tinted moisturizers. Everyone is always in the market for the perfect fit in this category.
So which are the best? I have a few favorites... Cat gave her input as well. And hopefully the poor celebrity is reading, too.
1) Our pick for HORMONAL ACNE-PRONESKIN is Jane Iredale PurePressed Mineral Base SPF 20:
While it's not technically a foundation, this pressed powder compact offers serious coverage, especially for tricky hormonal chin acne. Skin genius Kate Somerville once told Cat that Jane Iredale was the only makeup that she should let touch her sensitive skin -- so then we both started using it. You don't use a big brush to sweep it on like you would a loose powder; you just use the applicator to dab it on. So easy.
2) My pick for OIL-PRONE SKIN with random acne is Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup:
It works to make skin look even and moisturized. And significantly more youthful. Definitely brighter! And possibly, over time, with smaller-seeming pores. It doesn't break you (OK, me) out -- which means the acne-fighting ingredients are working, no? Plus, it's totally affordable.
3) Our pick for DRY OR OLDER SKIN is the incredible Olay Total Effects Moisturizer + Touch of Foundation:
Anything by Olay Regenerist is killer, says Cat, and I agree! Featuring a genius blend of softening agents and just enough pigment, this anti-aging skin perfector works double time to give you even, glowy coverage.
4) My pick for ALL SKIN TYPES, at a sexier budget, is Chanel Vitalumiere Foundation:
Everyone who tries this foundation becomes a convert, including all the xoJane beauty girls. It comes in the most elegant glass bottle with a pump. Pumps are the best, aren't they? But it's the makeup itself that you'll love: just a drop or two (seriously!) of this liquid formula works to neutralize blemishes and imperfections without leaving skin too matte or too dewy.
Now, what kind of skin did I forget? And what foundations do YOU love? Go on, tell me! In the comments. xo

Japanese organization pushes for tag to become Olympic sport
If you haven't been able to give up your Olympic aspirations, it might not be too late. An international tag federation is campaigning to get the game of tag included as an Olympic sport.
The International Sports Onigokko Federation, otherwise known as ISOF, is a Japanese organization that in reality isn't known to anyone else in the world who's not a part of it. The reason it made the news recently is that it's campaigning ferociously for the induction of tag into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as a demonstration sport. The name for tag in Japanese is Oni Gokko, which literally translates as Devil Playing, and it's apparently taken very seriously by a certain group of competitors. There are official rules to the sport version of the game, which is played on a court with certain dimensions. And to make it more attractive to the Olympic Committee, rules are being changed as we speak. With new summer and winter sports like beach volleyball and snowboarding being included in modern Olympics, I'm all for the induction of tag as an Olympic sport. As long as it's fun to watch!
Have your Kleenex ready. That Olympic moment when they award medals and play national anthems for the champions of tag is going to be a real tearjerker.
Olympic dreams

Revenue of $14.2 Million; Net Income $2.8 Million; $0.37 Fully Diluted EPS; Conference Call to Be Held Friday, August 15, 2014 at 7:45 AM ET
Revenue of $14.2 Million; Net Income $2.8 Million; $0.37 Fully Diluted EPS; Conference Call to Be Held Friday, August 15, 2014 at 7:45 AM ET
XI'AN, CHINA--(Marketwired - Aug 14, 2014) - Skystar Bio-Pharmaceutical Company (NASDAQ: SKBI) ("Skystar" or the "Company"), a China-based manufacturer and distributor of veterinary medicines, vaccines, micro-organisms and feed additives, today reported unaudited second quarter fiscal year 2014 earnings, for the period ended June 30, 2014.
Second Quarter 2014 Summary
Management's Comments
Mr. Weibing Lu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Skystar, commented, "Skystar is pleased to report strong financial results and our operational highlights for the second quarter. Revenues were driven by our veterinary medications line, up 37% year over year, whose average selling price increased 60% due to increased sales in premium priced products. Additionally, Skystar added 48 production permits to its medications line since the year ago period. Demand for Skystar's veterinary medications product line remains promising and continues to grow as we ramp our production line to full capacity now that Skystar has received GMP approval for the Huxian plant and production permits in application are being received on an ongoing basis. As of current, we have production permits for 97 products, including our strongest seller, praziquantel in our veterinary medication category and 50 in the application process. We also have production permits for 5 vaccines in application. Production permits in application for our vaccine line are expected to be received on an ongoing basis as well."
Mr. Lu continued, "Additionally, Skystar ceased manufacturing its veterinary vaccine line manually within a small lab environment and transitioned production to the modern GMP certified plant in Huxian capable of large scale batch production. For this reason our revenues from our vaccine line decreased; however, Skystar was able to offset this drop in revenues through sales across its other product lines. The transition of our vaccine line to a modernized facility is a crucial step in executing our core mission to grow Skystar's organic business profitably. The need to modernize and standardize our manufacturing processes in accordance with the Ministry of Agriculture's strict GMP standards, ensures that Skystar remains competitively positioned to assist in China's campaign for improving the safety, health and quality standards of its food supply.
"The ability to adapt to the Ministry of Agriculture's regulatory changes and thrive positions Skystar well as a leader in the animal husbandry space in China allowing for predictable rates of future growth. In moving forward with the Company's growth initiatives, we continue to build infrastructure and make improvements to our other production lines including probiotic and feed additive which ultimately provide a complete suite of animal healthcare products that can be sold and marketed across our proprietary franchised based sales channel, and distribution network that spans all 29 farming provinces in China."
Financial Summary
For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, Skystar's revenues were roughly $14.2 million as compared to revenues of $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $2.9 million or 25.6%. Overall increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in our veterinary medications sales.
A breakdown of the year's revenue by production line is as follows:
- Revenue from sales of our veterinary medications increased by $2.3 million or 36.7%, from $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
- Revenue from probiotic products increased by $824,000 roughly or 20.4% from $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was due to improved efficacy of our products resulting in increased demand from our customers.
- Revenue from feed additives increased by $262,000 or 50.9% from $514,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $776,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
- Vaccine revenues decreased by $492,000 or 99.0% from $497,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $5,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the result of our transition from small scale lab production to large scale factory manufacturing. Our new state-of-the-art vaccine facility has been completed and certified by the Chinese GMP standard, and we expect to receive the vaccine production permit from the government in the third quarter, commencing production shortly thereafter.
Gross profit for the quarter was up $0.4 million or 6.7% from $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Gross margin was 44.7%, down from 52.6% in the same period a year ago. The decreased gross margin was due to the fact that revenue for the period mainly came from the less profitable veterinary medications product line.
Operating expenses for the quarter increased 112.0% to $3.0 million or 21% of total revenue, compared with $1.4 million for the same period a year ago.
Research and development costs for the quarter increased significantly as there was no significant R&D effort undertaken during the second quarter 2013, thus costs increased by 759.8% to $0.8 million for the period.
Selling expenses totaled $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 up by $o.2 million, as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of 32.6%.
General and administrative expenses totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 97.1%.
Operating income for the period was $3.4 million, down $1.2 million or 25.9% year-on-year. Operating margin was 23.7% versus 40.2% in the corresponding period one year ago.
Net income for the quarter was $2.8 million or $0.37 per fully diluted share. This compares to net income of $3.8 million or $0.49 per fully diluted share for the year ago period.
As of June 30, 2014, Skystar had approximately $16.4 million in cash, current assets of $107.1 million and total current liabilities of $42.3 million which resulted in net working capital of $64.8 million.
Operational Highlights Update
"We reiterate our excitement in having a strong production launch of Skystar's veterinary medications line for the fiscal year to date. We also believe that our veterinary vaccine line which is due to begin sales and distribution of products beginning in the second half of the fiscal year will have a similar positive reception. At full capacity Skystar's new veterinary medications and vaccine production facilities represent a revenue opportunity of $45 million in organic growth over the next three to five years. Also, our recent capital raising transaction with a strategic healthcare investor in the U.S. strengthened our balance sheet. The additional capital allows us to expand our product pipeline through the purchase of new product IP in addition to facilities expansion of our Kunshan probiotics plant. These near term goals positions us in our peer group and will sustain our leadership in our space. In moving forward with Skystar's business model, having past the regulatory tailwinds of the past two years we are now on track to maintaining a stable path to profitable growth through the near and medium term," concluded Mr. Lu.
Business Outlook
Skystar currently maintains business outlook and anticipates delivering an 8% to 18% year over year increase in top line revenue for fiscal 2014 as compared to the prior year. The expected revenue range is $46 million to $50 million with gross margin of roughly 50% for fiscal 2014.
Conference Call Information
The Company will host a conference call on Friday, August 15, 2014 to discuss its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Skystar's conference call will begin promptly at 7:45 a.m. EDT to review second quarter fiscal 2014 financial and operational performance.
