It's been almost 70 years since the most popular 'nationalist' ended his life, but we still can't seem to get enough of Adolf Hitler.
Hitler was a gifted painter, his artwork inspired hundreds of thousands of Germans to take up painting. In Nuremberg, recently, 14 of his rare watercolours and drawings were auctioned for close to 400,000 Euros. Apparently, it is not unlawful to sell Hitler's art works in Germany as long as the word or the symbol, 'Nazi', doesn't appear, but there are many who condemn such sale of artworks by Hitler.
Our perception of Hitler is that of an evil person responsible for the holocaust. History talks only about how Hitler killed millions of Jews, using concentration camps and gas chambers, but it fails to highlight the prevailing circumstances, about the challenges that Hitler faced.
As Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and Führer of the Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945, Hitler acted in response to the problems of his time. How can we judge him in hindsight?
Looking at the devastation of World War 2, it's quite easy to attack Hitler, but he took up the reins of Germany at a time when the country was suffering from severe economic depression. Because of the Russian Revolution, there was a constant threat of Communism spreading across Europe. Western powers were colluding to overpower Germany. Fascism, for the Fuhrer, was a lifestyle and Hitler believed it would take Germany to greater heights. He believed in patriotism and pure race, but this was hardly unique to Germany alone. The British Empire entertained similar beliefs!
We strongly condemn Hitler's racist tendencies, but it's important to understand that scientists of the time had established that some races were inferior and that their physical appearances reflected the filth within. Hitler can be faulted for blindly believing in the coterie of 'yes men'.
In fact, Hitler was kept in the dark with regard to various condemnable acts, he was not directly responsible for most of the heinous crimes that took place under him. Orders in the 'Third Reich' did not always come from Hitler himself. It has already been established that Hitler believed in the superiority of the Aryan race and to ensure purity of blood, holocaust happened.
But make no mistake, Hitler was not responsible for the creation of death camps. Others below him exploited their positions and issued orders in the name of the Fuhrer… Himmler, for example, was quite dominant in the racial policy of the Third Reich, he should be blamed equally. Goering was running a separate campaign against the Jews.
Why only single out Hitler for committing war crimes? Joseph Stalin created the demonic 'Gulags' which were as bad as the Nazi camps, but Stalin is hardly discussed in the same breath as Hitler. Perhaps, it is because the USSR sided with the 'Allies' and the Western powers are repaying Russia's allegiance!
He may even have been mentally imbalanced. In the First World War, Hitler was gassed as a captive by the Allies. He suffered every humiliation that we today accuse him of causing others. It is believed that he lost his senses to a great deal, clouding his judgment on many occasions.
On 30 April 1945, when Soviet troops zeroed in on Hitler, he shot himself and Eva Braun, his wife, bit into a cyanide capsule. Their bodies were carried up the stairs and through the bunker's emergency exit to the bombed-out garden behind the Reich Chancellery, where they were placed in a bomb crater and doused with petrol.
I believe Hitler was not evil. He was racist and went to extreme lengths to ensure German supremacy. Any country's leader would want that, but only Hitler dared to dream. His methods have been criticized, as they should be, but let's not forget the pressing circumstances. Along with his followers, Hitler lifted Germany from the rubbles of WWI and made it, arguably, the most powerful nation during the late 1930's, early 1940's.

On Tuesday evening, November 18, Haverford College hosted Ugandan writer Glaydah Namukasa at the Multi-Cultural Center and followed her reading with a reception for Positive: HIV/AIDS in Uganda, an exhibition of photographs by Jenna Mulhall-Brereton and myself. My mom, representin', gamely traveled to Haverford with me. We drove up 95 that day through the intermingling patches of dark, swirling snow showers and bright sunshine.
This show marked the first time Jenna and I had ever seen each others work since we both shot film in Africa and brought it home to the States for processing. I so enjoyed walking around the room, seeing a new Uganda--though one that I recognized easily--through her eyes.
Rosemary, my best friend from college, now lives with her husband in Narberth, PA,* just down the road from Haverford. Rose was my one fan that night, besides my mom, which made me love her even more than usual!

A while ago I blogged about my brief stay in Rustaq's General Hospital. This past week I had a longer and more intensive visit to get my ever-aggravated appendix taken out. I think I can offer a lot more insight now than before.
First off--let me say that as an insurance-deprived American citizen, I consider myself luckily and ironically well-cared for just having some sort of health care at all. Even without any insurance, the entire surgery and 3 night stay would have cost me 275 riyals ($715) --nothing in comparison to what even one night at an American hospital would have cost an average uninsured citizen like myself (at least pre-new health care bill which I have yet to actually benefit from).
Second--I was both quite impressed with the treatment I received, and rather disappointed. The traditional, incision-style appendectomy was clearly well done. No infection, the cut is relatively small, I didn't wake up during the surgery from poor anesthesia or some other third-world operation nightmare. The surgeons seemed competent, intelligent and though not terribly important, most had a good bed-side manner.
And with that I'm going to have to continue this another time, as I can't sit very long without the cut really starting to hurt.
All the best, happy new year, and more to come as soon as possible.

The seemingly interminable outbreak of Ebola in West Africa has begun to ravage new territory. This week, the nation of Mali recorded its official second death due to the virus and has announced it is closely monitoring up to 200 others suspected of being exposed to the disease.
Mali recorded its first case of Ebola in October–a two-year-old girl who had contracted the virus in Guinea. Due in large part to aggressive contact tracing, the government of Mali managed to find and quarantine anyone who came into contact with the girl, preventing more such cases. Mali was close to being declared Ebola-free this week when a second "patient zero" arrived in the nation and died.
This second patient, reports The New York Times, was an imam who died in October in Bamako, Mali, after arriving from Guinea. He was not targeted as an Ebola case, as the cause of death was cited as "kidney failure." His remains were washed and returned to Guinea, as per Muslim tradition. This has exposed an undetermined number of people in Mali to the virus, and there has not yet been confirmation via testing that the patient died of Ebola.
Nonetheless, Mali is moving fast. At least four people with ties to the imam, whose name is being withheld, have died under suspicion of having contracted Ebola. Reuters reports that over 200 people who came in contact with either the imam himself or other confirmed victims, or who visited the mosque in which his remains were handled, will be monitored. One of the four confirmed Ebola deaths in Mali is a woman who helped wash his body for burial. Two other cases are known, and a third–another girl–is suspected to have died from Ebola, though this has not been confirmed. While the Malian Health Ministry puts the number of people monitored at 200, the World Health Organization told Reuters closer to 250 people are being watched.
The news comes just as Liberia, one of the nation's hardest hit by this Ebola outbreak, officially ended its state of emergency in response to the outbreak. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf announced Friday that certain emergency measures implemented to limit the spread of the virus were no longer necessary. She did emphasize, however, that this did not signal the end of the outbreak, but merely a reduction in the number of cases in areas most affected or potentially most dangerous, such as the densely populated neighborhoods of Monrovia. While the acceleration pace of viral contamination has slowed in much of Monrovia, Ebola has begun to enter previously untouched communities, restarting the contact tracing and healthcare process for the Liberian government.

Excellent but a little US centred
Where does From Here to Infinity rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
One of the best no lecture based books Drout is clear and to the point
Any additional comments?
This account of a history of science fiction was excellent covers the main writers but falls short for the more recent works.Much emphasis on modern US writers, but does not really look at British writers, Arthur C Clarke for example, while mentioned does not get the credit I feel he should, maybe I am biased but equally no mention of writers such as Alistair Reynolds, or Iain M Bank. Any selection will show a preference as does my idea that they should be included but a pity as otherwise an excellent history.
By Olivier on 29-01-13
Excellent Until Halfway
There is a lot to commend in Professor Drout's lectures on Science Fiction Literature.
The speaker's delivery is impeccable; no pause or hesitation, for almost 8 hours. It is also clear that Professor Drout knows a lot about the Science Fiction genre (although his area of specialization is Fantasy, most specifically J.R. Tolkien).
Until the end of the lecture on Heinlein, I really enjoyed the contents. But, afterwards, the lectures ceased to be on Science Fiction and became English Litterature, focusing on Surrealism and weird avant-garde authors, whose books often could not be classified as Science Fiction, and are extremely hard to read, by the lecturer's own admission. The last few lectures also got more and more politically correct, with the lecturer choice of "the best ever Science Fiction story" being just over the top (hint, to use PC-parlance, it was not written by a DWM).
If, like me, Science Fiction is entertainment for you, then you'll also disconnect when the lectures start covering the 1970's and 1980's (though I did listen to the very end). If, however, you are an English Litterature scholar, then you may enjoy learning about Science Fiction from a fellow scholar.

Really interesting, engaging lecture
As an avid Science Fiction reader, I am already pretty excited about the genre, but professor Drout got me even more excited. Although the lecture is rather concise and a few things could have been explored in more detail (I personally missed more information about Arthur C. Clarke, as I do not know that much about him), no major writer is missing and the whole lecture follows a well thought-out plan. What makes this audiobook better than any other recording of a lecture I have listened to, is a) that it obviously was conceived as an audio book and not a lecture and b) professor Drout is actually a very good narrator. He seems to improvise some times, adds some jokes here and there, but most importantly for a recorded lecture, you can hear his enthusiasm all the time.
I will definitely get his Fantasy lecture next month and I recommend this Science Fiction lecture to anyone who does have at least a slight interest in the genre or literature in general.

Excellent Scope and Excellent Analysis!
This is my second lecture series by Dr. Drout. His pleasant personality comes through in the way he communicates with you. He is knowledgeable and articulate, but yet brings things down to a level everyone can understand.
This is a great overview of Science Fiction literature. He hits all the biggies (Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, Lovecraft, Bradbury) and some lesser knowns as well.
His analysis of some of the underlying themes and the effect of culture on the genre (and vice versa) was really insightful. I also appreciate that he appears to have read a boatload of science fiction, but yet is also a student of the classics, which gives him a broader perspective when offering literary criticism and stylistic observatiions.
The only authors I was suprised to see missing were Ben Bova and Michael Crichton. However, even so, this is a great primer for those just getting their feet wet in Science Fiction, and those who have been reading for years! I even picked up 10-12 new books that I'd like to read.
Great job Dr. Drout!

Sundance 2015: Robin Williams remembered
Sundance Film Review: 'Misery Loves Comedy'.
Actor Kevin Pollak lines up the stars for his directorial debut, "Misery Loves Comedy," a documentary exploration that cuts loose without ever cutting deep.
Ahead of the film's Park City world premiere today, Tribeca Film has snapped up North American rights to comedian Kevin Pollak's directorial debut "Misery Loves Company." This Heretic Films and NewAley Pictures coproduction features an array of comic talking heads, including Tom Hanks, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Schumer, Judd Apatow, Jon Favreau, Lisa Kudrow, Larry David, Steve Coogan, Jim Gaffigan, and Whoopi Goldberg. While Pollak poses some provocative questions behind the camera — including the inquiry that inspires the title, "Do you have to be miserable to be funny?" — his parade of celebrity talking heads only skim the surface of the comedic mind.
Pollak melds in-depth interviews with famous funny men and women who offer anecdotes and insights from the comedy underbelly to reveal the strangeness—and "Misery," we can safely surmise—hidden beneath the profession. Packing far more laughs than your average doc, the Tribeca Film acquisition could generate limited theatrical interest but seems a more logical fit for premium cable or digital outlets. The comedy circuit is a world that Pollack — a stand-up comedian and actor from films such as "Grumpy Old Men" and "A Few Good Men" — understands intimately. The opportunity to collect amusing anecdotes from the likes of Christopher Guest, Larry David, Martin Short, Steve Coogan and Tom Hanks is as good as any reason to make a film, but Pollak positions this project as if he's up to something more. "Do you think emotionally questionable people are drawn to standup/performing?" Guest reads aloud from Pollak's question list in the opening montage. Lining up well-known comedians to riff on tragedy as the basis for comedy is a sharp idea, and a documentary doesn't need to become a full-fledged therapy session to tease out the connective tissues.
The deal was negotiated for Tribeca Film by Alison Diviney, manager of acquisitions, along with Nick Savva, vice president of acquisitions, and UTA Independent Film Group on behalf of the filmmakers. Some of the subjects are clearly willing to take the plunge: Nick Swardson talks frankly about entering rehab as a teenager, Maria Bamford touchingly explains the relief at letting go of the shame over spending time in a psychiatric facility, and Short spins a rueful and witty tale of suffering a minor nervous breakdown over the success of a peer (Bill Murray, if you're into name-checking, as Pollak seems to be).
It's symbolic of the film overall that current "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon spends the most time discussing the highs of making people laugh, without ever saying anything to dispel his happy-go-lucky image. Ultimately, the pic's biggest selling point — all these famous faces, perfect to list en masse on a poster or VOD cast list — also works against it.
Freddie Prinze Jr. is open and honest about the suicide of his actor-comedian father, but since he was barely a year old at the time and went down a different path himself, he's a questionable spokesman for the dark side of comedians. While tech credits are generally pro, the interview with David appears to have been captured on the fly via a low-definition camera, and included simply for name value. The more faces that appear, the more difficult it is to ignore that we're hearing overwhelmingly from white men, adding to the feeling that the film is basically an excuse to hang out with the old boys' club instead of learning anything revealing about the members.
Brooks, Rob Brydon, Bobby Cannavale, Jemaine Clement, Steve Coogan, Larry David, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Favreau, Janeane Garofalo, Whoopi Goldberg, Christopher Guest, Tom Hanks, Chris Hardwick, Jim Jefferies, Penn Jillette, Lisa Kudrow, Richard Lewis, William H.

An Ember in the Ashes (Author says it's a stand alone but it's clearly going to be a series).
By Sabaa Tahir
Genre: High Fantasy
Expected Publication: April 2015
Bang Bang Rating: 4.5 / 5
Laia is a Scholar, the lowest of the low, and her brother has been taken by The Masks. He is her only living family member and she will risk her life to find him. Elias is a Mask but he doesn't want to be. Laia and Elias' paths cross when Laia goes undercover as a slave at Elias' military school to get information on her brother.
Dang, That Was GOOD
I wasn't expecting much when I picked up the book because of the cover. I know, I know. you shouldn't judge a book by…blah, blah, blah.
I'm a big fan of epic/high fantasy and I read A Lot of them. Sometimes this genre can be predicable and been-there-done-that; however, An Ember in the Ashes was very unpredictable and exciting.
1. The romances and the characters were written well.
2. The story wasn't confusing or convoluted. Laia had a clear mission, rescue her brother-nothing confusing about that.
3. Tahir wasn't afraid to write heartless characters or to beat her characters to the brink of death.
4. There was never a lull in the action.
That Too Bad, Dang
My only problems, which is the reason for he 4.5 and not 5, are:
1. Not enough questions were answered. Just one major answer would have given it a 5 and when you read the book, you'll know what question I'm referring to.
I REALLY liked this book. It was unpredictable and never boring. The villains were nasty and the protagonist grew. If you can get your hands on the ARC, I highly recommend it.

We perform the Whipple's operation for cancers in the pancreatic head, as well as distal pancreatectomy for cancers in the body and tail of the pancreas.
Laparoscopic pancreatic surgery for pancreatic cancers is an advanced procedure performed by surgeons with expertise after careful evaluation of the patient.
The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery are that the surgical cuts are much smaller and there is less handling of the intestines during surgery. This means that you experience less pain and are able to move around quicker and more easily. *All of this leads to quicker recovery.
The duration of surgery and hospital stay will depend on the condition of the disease and your post-operative recovery.
Laparoscopic surgeries are performed with cutting-edge technology and ensure a quicker recovery time. They leave minimal scars, which keeps the procedure relatively pain-free.
Bariatric surgery can also be performed through your navel, making it a surgery with no visible scars. At Digestive Health Institute, we have practiced and mastered the art of single incision bariatric surgery and have performed the largest number in the world to date. The benefits are quicker recovery and complete confidentiality – there are no visible scars at all. Please speak to our medical team if you are keen to explore this option.
We perform all procedures that may be required for treatment of various stomach cancers; our services include endoscopic surgery as well as laparoscopic procedures like wide local excision and partial and total gastrectomy.
Endoscopic surgery is recommended for patients with stomach polyps. Laparoscopic gastrectomy is the surgery done in case of stomach cancer. In case of tumors such as stromal tumors, a wide local excision is often recommended.
The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery are that the surgical cuts are much smaller and there is less handling of the organs during surgery. This means that you experience less pain and are able to move around quicker and more easily. All of this leads to quicker recovery.
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is recommended for patients who have cancer of the colon or large intestines, rectum and anal canal. Oncologic surgery for colorectal cancers can be done laparoscopically.
What are the advantages of doing lap over open surgery? The advantages of laparoscopic surgery are smaller surgical cuts, better cosmetic outcome and less pain. There is also less handling of the intestines in laparoscopic surgery than open surgery, leading to faster overall recovery
The surgery may last 1 to 3 hours, depending on the condition of the disease being treated and the procedure being performed. On an average, you will be discharged 4 to 6 days after surgery. You can resume your normal routine within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, including climbing stairs, going back to work, driving, etc.
Laparoscopic surgeries are performed with cutting-edge technology and ensure a quicker recovery time. They leave minimal scars, which keeps the procedure relatively pain-free.
As the colon and rectum needs to be completely empty before surgery, you will be given a liquid medication to drink that will cleanse the intestines prior to surgery. You may also need to be on a liquid diet for a few days before undergoing surgery. A few patients with colon/rectal cancer may require the creation of a stoma, i.e. a part of the small or large intestine may need to be brought out on to the skin either temporarily or permanently. If this is required, our surgeons at the Digestive Health Institute will explain it to you in detail prior to surgery.
We perform all types of liver resections, including anatomical resections such as right and left hepatectomy, right and left extended hepatectomies, left lateral segmentectomy and mono/bi-segmentectomy and non-anatomical resections like wedge excisions.
It is recommended for patients with liver cancers (hepato-cellular carcinoma), metastatic liver disease (cancers that have spread to the liver from other organs such as the colon, etc), and cholangiocarcinomas (cancer of the bile ducts).
Laparoscopic surgery offers a magnified view of the internal organs,
which decreases the chances of injury and bleeding, and makes
the surgery safer. The digestive function returns earlier and
there is much less pain after laparoscopic than open surgery.
All of this contributes to quicker recovery after laparoscopic
surgery, as compared to open surgery.
In any laparoscopic surgery, there is no large cut and no open wounds. Since the entire surgery is performed through tiny cuts, the patient feels very little pain; the recovery period is shorter; and the cosmetic outcome is excellent.
For standard liver resections, you will need to stay in the hospital for 4* to 7* days. In the case of a more complex procedure like extended hepatectomy, the hospital stay may be about a week to 10* days.
The precautions for any liver resection include a pre-surgery estimation of the amount of liver that will be left behind. We will recommend certain tests that will help us plan a safe surgery for you.
There are various other treatment options available for cancers in the liver that are not suitable for surgery. In case the liver is cirrhotic, or there are multiple tumors, we offer non-surgical treatments such as radio-frequency ablation, trans-arterial chemo-embolisation and microwave ablation. Our surgical team is best equipped to advice you further on these.

Yesterday, my running buddy and I (the adult one) together with our 3 kids under 2 and Miss Oakley headed out on what should have been our longest run of our training program for the Harbor Half. Well, sometimes life disagrees. We were both tired, she was fighting off some serious allergies and Little M was a total WRECK. Throughout the 7 miles that we actually managed to cover (before calling in a rescue from running buddy's hubby and his truck - BLESS HIM) we picked up bottles, pacifiers, ipads, fruit snacks and shoes from being thrown on the ground. We cleaned up a bloody mouth after Little M bumped it on the stroller. We walked. A lot. We "moooo-ed" at lots of cows. We stopped and did reset and tried to pretend we were just starting. None of it worked. It wasn't our day. It's hard to be ok with "failed" runs sometimes but I'm trying to stay positive. We still covered 7 miles, our kiddos are all happy and healthy back at home and we got to spend the morning outside. I'm kind of bummed that we have to try for 10 again next week, but I know things will be better. They will they will!
Now, that little rant doesn't have much to do with what I was planning to post about today, except for that after that fiasco I would have KILLED for an hour of silence on a deep tissue massage table. But alas...I headed home to copious amounts of coffee and my trusty foam roller.
In a perfect world, we would all be able to head into an athletic training room after a tough workout and get iced down, maybe get some massage and do some rehab exercises. Or...in an even MORE perfect world, we would get to go to weekly massage appointments at a spa! Alas, we don't live in a perfect world. Most of us can't afford to hit the massage table regularly and when we're injured, it can be tough to make time to get to a physical therapist regularly! Since I rarely get to enjoy these luxuries, I've realized that a lot of what I need done to stay injury/pain free can be done at home! As I've been increasing my running mileage, I have DEFINITELY been putting these little tools to good use!
Today I'm going to share with you my little home-rehab-gym that YOU can create for LESS than $20! Yep. That's less than 1 appointment with a pro!
Now, I'm not discounting the effectiveness of professional massage therapists, body workers, physical therapists - if I could, I would probably live in their offices! I just can't access them all the time, so this is the next best thing!

Here's what you need:
1 foam roller
3 tennis balls
1 old long sock
1 golf ball
1 medium sized playground or foam ball
Ribbon or tie
1 bucket
Epsom salts
Soothing essential oils + Roll-on Bottle
Alright - the foam roller is hands down the biggest (but BEST!) investment. You can find them anywhere from Walmart to TJ Maxx to your sporting goods store. I found this one on Amazon. Mine is only 12 inches long and was under $10. You don't have to get the super long ones! Here's an old post of mine that demos some great foam rolling techniques! COST: $10
And what's with the old sock? Well, first of all, it doesn't have to be old. But the point is you probably don't have to buy a sock just for this. We all have a single sock laying around right? Place 2 tennis balls into the foot of the sock and tie it off so the balls are snug into the bottom of the sock. This is a little different version of a foam roller. It's perfect for rolling out your back or shoulders! I like to stand up and put this little tool between me and the wall and let in massage between my shoulder blades. COST: Less than $2
The tie or ribbon is another thing I know you already have at your house. You could even use a long towel. The purpose of this is to be a stretch-helper! Hook it under your foot while you're doing lying hamstring stretches, or work on chest and shoulder flexibility with this stretch. COST: FREE!
The golf ball is another really cool little massage tool. You can roll on it, but it is very small and dense so it can be really intense. My favorite way to use it is on my arches! It's a great way to prevent plantar fasciitis or to relieve tired, achy feet. Just put it under your arch and give your little tootsies a golf ball massage! It feels SO GOOD! You probably also have an old golf ball laying around, but if you don't you can a pack of 3 for $1 at the dollar store. We're not looking for quality here - so get the cheap ones! I found mine in the bottom of my husband's golf bag! COST: $1 or less
The playground ball is a great one for strength/rehab exercises. Squeeze it between your knees during pelvic tilts/bridges or between your knees for stabilization during squats. You probably have this laying around, but if you don't, you can get them for $1 at the dollar store! COST: $1 or less
The bucket can be used for a few things. You probably have a bucket around that will suffice, but in case you don't you can find one like this for $3.50. (Probably even cheaper if you hit up your local discount or dollar store).First, you can use it as an ice bucket. For injuries like ankle sprains, getting ice on it is really important in the first 24 hours. Put some cold water in the bucket (a mop bucket will do!) and add several cups of ice from your freezer. Ice for 15 minutes at a time every hour or so for new injuries.
The other thing is for an awesome foot soak. Runners will love this one. Fill the bucket with warm water, put a cup of epsom salts ($1/bag at The Dollar Tree!) and 1 drop of soothing essential oils ($0.38/drop) for the ultimate in foot relief! This can also be done in a tub for a full body soak!
COST: $4.88 or less
Making and using a roll-on bottle of essential oils is another really cost-effective way to relieve muscle tension throughout your day. Fill a little roll-on bottle ($0.42/each) with a few drops of soothing essential oils, and fill the rest with a carrier oil like coconut oil. Use on sore muscles throughout the day! For more info on my favorite essential oils, join my Facebook group! COST: $2 or less!
TOTAL COST: $20 (or less!)

Great post and ideas!! I think that going with the shorter foam roller is a better idea than the long one, especially for beginners. I use the 36 inch one and while it does have it's place and is easy to control when doing areas like the back, it can be rather unwieldy. I think a shorter one alleviates a lot of the issues in trying to position it right. The tennis ball in the sock idea is genius. For the longest time I've been trying to squish a tennis ball against the wall and work my shoulders, but the sock gives the added control to actually hit the needed spots without it constantly falling down. I'm doing this asap!

Nodulation Differences Between Organic and Conventional Systems
Dr. Kris Nichols, Chief Scientist, Dr. Emmanuel Omondi, Research Director – Farming Systems Trial, Jeff Moyer, Executive Director, and Ross Duffield, Farm Manager
Rodale Institute's Farming Systems Trial (FST) has been comparing organic and conventional management systems since 1981. Nodules in roots from soybean plants in the manure-based organic system were compared to roots from the conventional system. Legume plants, such as soybeans, have nodules on their roots where rhizobium bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2 gas) into plant-available nitrate-nitrogen. The energy needed to do this process comes from photosynthesis where sunlight energy is stored in the bonds of simple sugars. Because excess amounts of nitrate-nitrogen are present in the conventionally-managed field due to the addition of synthetic fertilizers, plants do not allocate energy into forming fine roots to access more nitrogen from the soil profile and nodulation is concentrated around the tap root so the rhizobium bacteria are only feeding each individual plant (Figure 1), but in the organic manure system, more fine roots are developed and nodules are found throughout the fine roots (Figure 2). Greater amounts of fine roots assist the plant in obtaining a variety of nutrients from the soil profile and nodules on these fine roots will help distribute nitrogen throughout the soil profile for subsequent crops.

Remotely on a black sandy beach with lots of character, at the mouth of the Saint-Jacques River, and surrounded by a state forest, eco lodge Maison d'Ô is truly a unique experience, off the beaten track and away from the tourist flocks.
It is an ideal spot for those who love nature, for hikers and surfers, or for having unforgettable moments with your family on a timeless site. Eco lodge Maison d'Ô is also an excellent starting point for exploring a more secret Martinique.
In the Creole spirit, the house coexists in harmony with its environment: the shade of the trees, the large, airy terrace and the swimming pool are unceasing invitations to go outside for a relaxing or convivial moment.
The house has four bedrooms (two large and two standard), and three bathrooms, totalling 10 sleeping arrangements (2 double beds and 6 single beds).
The equipped kitchen opens onto a vast living room, an indoors dining room, and the terrace for having meals outside.
Amid the trade winds, the house is almost free of mosquitos and it is cool in any time of the year.
For children, a car seat, a baby bouncer, a pushchair, a cradle, a changing table, a folding bed, a baby bath and some toys may be available on site.
The ground-floor spaces are accessible for people with reduced mobility, in particular a large bedroom and its bathroom.
As you will be living inside screen sceneries, there is no television.
You have unlimited internet access (but you'd rather enjoy nature!)
Some books and board games are available for you to use.
The beach is wild and never crowded because bathing there is dangerous: a guarantee of peacefulness. For a refreshing moment, enjoy the swimming pool, the river or one of the many beaches around (less than 15 min away).
The pool, facing the sea, has a part for the smallest.
The hammock, in the shade of the catalpa trees, is very enjoyable.
Civilization is only 2 km away : a little supermarket, street vendors (fruits & vegetables, fresh fish...), doctor, drugstore, gas station, ATM, post office... There is also a square that is very popular among local people, with a playground and street foods (pizzas, ice creams, food from Martinique or Haïti...)
And if you can think of anything missing for a near-perfect stay, please let us know!
We have lots of dreams and four children - four girls. So we seldom get a chance to rest.
Alice is a speech therapist. Nicolas is an entrepreneur in the renewable energy sector.
It seems our four girls borrowed to the place their great deal of assertiveness and ardor for life.
We spent a week in early April at this beautiful house. It is spacious and very comfortably sleeps 8 people; we chose this location on purpose to be off the beaten tourist path and have not been disappointed. Everything one could need is nearby, including several beautiful and almost empty beaches (Charpentier and Azerot), the village with a big supermarket and nice bakery shop, great local restaurants for lunch (Point de Vue).
The views from the terrace and the pool are wonderful, even better than in the pictures, the vista is too big to be captured in one photo. The house is fully equipped with a functional kitchen and three beautiful bathrooms. Lots of towels are provided.
The owners, Alice and Nicolas, are very helpful and welcoming. They provided a very useful guide they composed themselves, with precious tips and a collection of things to do in Martinique, which we used a lot.
The highlight of the week has been Laurence Menchon, recommended by the owners, who lives nearby and can prepare food for lunch or dinner which she also delivers right to the house; it is a delicious way to taste local cuisine with a "French metropolitan" touch that should not be missed ("French-Antillean fusion").
To sum it up, we loved or stay and hope to come again!
Well first off Nicolalaus made our trip amazing. The house was in perfect shape when we arrived and he was more than willing to help us during our stay to make the entire experience one to remember. He setup some reservations for us since we didn't speak French for restaurants, Ms. Machon (who brought amazing food to the house if you just want to relax instead of cooking over a hot stove at night, French food that is just delicious!), deep sea fishing excursion, music venues, and recommendations on where to see the sites. Plus having an almost private beach right next to the house with a pool... it was perfect.
Overall I would recommend also that you have a car to get around the island, definitely a must. If you are looking for a secret hide away beach check out La Diamonte beach on the south side of the island. If you are taking the D7 road look for the La Cherry exit on your way to La Diamonte and there is a secret beach at the end of the road that is just amazing!
Thank you Nicolalaus for making this a great experience. I would highly recommend this place, especially for English speakers because Nicolalaus was so accommodating.
Also the house would be great for kids!
Nicolas was very flexible with our arrival times. We didn't get in until 10pm, and he was there waiting to explain everything to us. The property is more beautiful than the pictures.
You fall asleep to the sound of waves every night and wake up to a beautiful sunrise.
This is a very family style home. There is a store very close, and the kitchen is easy to cook in.
Nicolas also helped us plan out our week. He gave us directions to Mount Pelee, and he set us up with a "secret beach" tour.
There are some dogs that sometimes come on the property, but they are harmless.
We arrived late to the home and Nicolas was waiting so welcoming and enthusiastically. The house was perfect for our group of 10 and it had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect for every activity we wanted to do from climbing Mt Pelee to canyoning down waterfalls in the rain forest.we had a perfect vacation and hope someday to return!
Alice and Nicolas' house is extraordinary. We were a big group (12 people) and the house never felt too small – it's wide open and full of light and very relaxing. It sits right on a beautiful beach with palm trees (we even managed to find a few coconuts to eat ourselves!). Alice and Nicolas were incredibly generous with recommendations for activities and even booked us a boat tour around the island to a beach that was inaccessible by car.
The setting is extraordinary - right on the beach in the north part of the island, far enough away from the tourist hotbeds in the south to feel comfortably removed from the resorts, but close to both the pristine beaches in the south and the incredible hikes and surfing in the North by car. Everything you could need is a 5 minute drive into Sainte Marie – food, bank, restaurants, souvenirs.
I would go back to Martinique in a heartbeat, and I would absolutely stay with Alice and Nicolas again. Thank you, Alice and Nicolas, for a truly wonderful vacation.
Nous avons adorés, surtout les enfants pour qui dès leur arrivée ont comparé la maison à celle de Robinson CRUSOE. Cet Eco lodge avec piscine est très fonctionnel et spacieux, bien adapté aux personnes handicapées également. Le fond musical composé le jour par la mer, et la nuit par la mer, les grillons, les grenouilles et les crapauds. Séjour partagé entre la piscine (très belle), les différentes plage, les visites de l'île. Nous reviendrons très certainement. Nous remercions Alice et Nicolas pour leur accueil très chaleureux et les précieux conseils qu'ils nous ont transmis. SALIKA
La Maison d'Ô is located along a hiking path, managed by the National Office of Forests; it follows the entire North Atlantic coast, crossing state forests.
Our enchantments in the Maison d'Ô surroundings:
* Le Tombolo, a sand barrier that, during low tide, links the town of Sainte-Marie to its islet, on which a hiking path has been built.
* The Saint-James distillery and its rum museum
* Restaurant Le Point de Vue in the Charpentier cove, neighbouring ours.
* The timeless JM distillery
* Some very beautiful surf spots: the Charpentier Cove, Luciole, Tartane and above all Basse-Pointe, which hosted the 2015 World Championship
* The Grand-Rivière fishermen, who take you to inaccessible beaches in the extreme north of the island: the unique experience of a pristine nature. For bookings, please call the Grand-Rivière tourist office.
Some useful websites for taking your holiday to a next level:
* The Martinican Tourist Office
* The Tourist Office of Sainte-Marie
And of course we are available for recommending you personalised routes.

Work Experience
The Department believes it is crucial for pupils to begin developing skills and experience to prepare them for the workplace, and practical work experience forms an important part of this process. We encourage all pupils to undertake at least one work experience placement during their time at Charterhouse. For the majority, this would take place following the GCSE exam period in the summer term of the Fifth Form (Year 11) or during the summer holidays.
We encourage pupils and their parents to arrange and negotiate their own one week placement closer to their home, preferably to take place in the last week of June. Surrey Heath Area Partnership for Education (SHAPE) provides the Health and Safety checks which are required by law for all UK based placements and these checks are facilitated by the school.

چکیده انگلیسی
We investigate the pricing of idiosyncratic volatility of seven frontier markets in six GCC countries. We find a significant (marginal) negative relationship between expected returns and lagged idiosyncratic volatility for individual stocks in Saudi Arabia (Qatar) but none in Kuwait and Abu Dhabi. However, when we estimate conditional idiosyncratic volatility either by EGARCH or AR Models, the relationship turns positive. Introducing unexpected idiosyncratic volatility as an explanatory variable to control for any unexpected returns uncovers the true relationship between expected idiosyncratic volatility and expected returns. The evidence turns out to be robust for return reversals and other control variables. Moreover, the pricing of idiosyncratic risk is less evident in higher country governance and seems to be unrelated to the degree of financial development.
مقدمه انگلیسی
In the realm of Capital Asset Pricing Model, CAPM (Sharpe, 1964 and Lintner, 1965) investors are well diversified and hold the efficient mean–variance market portfolio in equilibrium. The CAPM predicts a linear relationship between expected return and systematic risk but assigns no role to idiosyncratic risk. Moreover, the CAPM makes no predictions about the role of idiosyncratic risk in situations when investors are under-diversified. Merton (1987) extends the CAPM and advances a model that assumes investor under-diversification. Merton argues that if investors cannot, or do not, hold the market portfolio they will consider total risk in their asset allocation decisions and therefore require higher returns for stocks with higher idiosyncratic risks to compensate for imperfect diversification.2 Current empirical evidence on the existence of idiosyncratic risk premia in expected returns has not only produced mixed results but also been limited to developed or developing markets. Frontier markets such as those in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have been widely overlooked despite their growing importance in recent years.3 For example, Ang et al. (2009, hereafter, AHXZ) investigate the relationship between idiosyncratic volatility and expected returns in 23 countries. However, their sample is restricted to developed countries. Brockman et al. (2009) document international support to Fu (2009) findings on US traded stocks, using data across 44 markets, only two of which are frontier markets, Argentina and Pakistan. The authors show a positive relationship between conditional idiosyncratic volatility estimated by EGARCH Models and expected returns.
نتیجه گیری انگلیسی
This paper takes on the important task of investigating the pricing of idiosyncratic volatility by deploying all available data of seven frontier financial markets in six GCC countries. We find a significant (marginal) negative relationship between expected returns and lagged realized idiosyncratic volatility for individual stocks in Saudi Arabia and Qatar but none in Kuwait and Abu Dhabi. However, when we pool stocks, the negative relationship is weak and not robust to return reversals. Controlling for momentum, liquidity, and leverage does not change our findings. Our findings clearly support the view that the low returns to high-lagged realized idiosyncratic risk is a global phenomenon, as it extends beyond the USA and the developed countries, to even frontier markets such as those in the GCC region.

Name's Doval ::He spent seven years undercover in Pakistan, recruited rebels as informants in disputed Kashmir, and once disguised himself as a rickshaw driver to infiltrate a militant group inside India's holiest Sikh temple.Now some consider Ajit Doval the most powerful person in India after Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Doval as National Security Advisor ::Modi picked Doval as his National Security Advisor, a position that holds more sway than the ministers of defense and foreign affairs.It puts Doval in charge of talks with arch-rival Pakistan.He visits arms manufacturers to discuss strategic capabilities, and orchestrates the response to militant attacks, liaising daily with Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar, the nation's top diplomat.India's James Bond ::Among the most famous concerns his part in the 1988 military operation that flushed Sikh separatists from the Golden Temple in Amritsar.According to Karan Kharb, a retired army officer who was one of the National Security Guard commandos involved, Doval posed as a rickshaw puller to gain entry to the temple.He convinced the militants holed up inside he was a Pakistani operative who'd come to help them in their goal of establishing an independent country called Khalistan.Doval 'Magic' ::Indian commandos had stormed the temple twice in the previous four years, including an assault in 1984 that left hundreds of soldiers and pilgrims dead, prompting outrage among Sikhs worldwide and triggering the assassination of then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who ordered the strike.This time, police had estimated there were no more than 40 people inside the temple, but Doval revealed there were at least 200, convincing the government to drop plans for a raid and instead cut off the water and electricity amid scorching heat, according to Kharb.Nine days later, the militants surrendered.Early Life ::No government website carries Doval's profile. A biography provided during a lecture he gave in August 2015 in Mumbai stated he was born in 1945 in Garhwal, Uttarakhand, and graduated with a master's degree in economics from the University of Agra in 1967 before joining the police force.Modi's favourite ::Doval's influence with Modi has drawn criticism from opposition politicians and fueled discontent inside Modi's administration.After retiring from the Intelligence Bureau, Doval founded the Vivekananda International Foundation in 2009.In 1972, he moved to the Intelligence Bureau, where he spent three decades, including stints in the restive regions of northeast, Jammu and Kashmir, and the UK.India hits punches below its weight ::"India has a mindset that, where it hits, it punches below its weight," Ajit Doval said at the August 2015 lecture. "We have to increase our weight and punch proportionately."

Straight, white men were banned from attending a series of lectures on equality hosted by the British University and College Union at a conference held in Liverpool last week.
The lectures covered four different topics relating to diversity, they are: ethnic, LGBT, disabled and female fights for equality. The UCU ruled that anyone that didn't identify with any of these categories could not attend the lectures as they wanted other individuals attending to be able to express their "protected characteristics" and to provide a "safe space".
During the UCU meeting at Liverpool, a motion was proposed to allow people of any identification to attend the lectures, but it was swiftly denied. This was the only motion at the meeting that was denied by the union. This ban of straight white men also includes members of the UCU, regardless of whether or not they are elected by their branch union.
Lecturers organising the equality events have received backlash for what many see as discrimination, but some lecturers have defended their decision to not include certain people within the event. One lecturer, Ciara Doyle – who teaches Youth and Community Work at Greenwich University – stated that she would not attend the conference if all equality reps were admitted. "We see in the union movement that some people's voices are far louder than others," said Doyle.
In opposition to this, Emma – Jane Philips who is a member of the UCU's equality committee disagrees entirely with this ban, stating "To infer that someone does not understand someone's situation just because you don't tick a box is insulting. It is ridiculous that people who regard equality as their life can't attend our equality conference,"
Banning people of certain races from an event in the name of a "safe space" is not entirely uncommon, but these safe spaces usually applied to particular areas on campuses across the country, not always relating to specific lectures but in some cases safe spaces have been created following certain events. Many readers will remember the safe space that was created for students following Breitbart Tech Editor Milo Yiannopoulos' event at Pitt university.
Needless to say, these so called equality lectures have already failed in their goal of fighting inequality and as the idea of safe spaces becomes more popular, we will only see more segregation and division within college communities.

This is VideoAssignments2117 it is worth 4 stars. I had to create a video in which my superhero (SuperNova) overcomes a challenge. I was able to use my room mate and my boyfriend to create a video. Erika and I are old friends meeting in a coffee shop when there is an earthquake which turns off the power. Super Nova comes to the rescue.
This is VideoAssignments2148. I had to create a vlog for a day. This was worth 5 stars. I had to talk about my day. I also added in my boyfriend and and friends. This was a fun one to do. I learned a lot about the importance of camera angles and how to talk to a camera which is awkward.
This is VideoAssignments157. In this assignment I had to recreate a horror scene. Of course I recreated the Psycho shower scene. This was my favorite video assignment I created. I used my boyfriend and roommate Erika again. I filmed and directed it. It was 3 and a half stars.

You'd probably seen on the news about the crap storm that happened in a Gilroy (People's Republica De California) when the principal of Four Live Oak High School sent four students home for wearing T-Shirts depicting the American flag during the celebration of the Cinco de Mayo, a made up Mexican Holiday.
It is disgusting enough that wearing the US colors inside the United States could be construed as "incendiary" but when I read the following quote:
"It's disrespectful to do it on Cinco de Mayo," said Jessica Cortez, a Live Oak sophomore. "They can be a patriot on some other day. Not that specific day."
What in the name of the hookers of Tijuana (Mexico's third biggest source of income after drugs and money sent from the USA by "undocumented" workers) are you talking about dear Cholita? Do you have the ovarios to dictate when can somebody be patriotic? And if you are so Mexican Patriota, How come you have a Gringo name and live in Gringolandia and partake of the fruits that the Gringos stole from your Aztec People (The official parasites that sucked the life out of the Mayans) I just hate hypocrites.
Oye Yesi, you wanna impress me? Get your American Blue Jeans' ass down to Ciudad de Mejico and demand the following:
- Have official forms and paperwork in both English and Spanish.
- Demand that informational signage should be in both English and Spanish.
- Protest the drastic inmigration laws of Mejico and demand free passage between Mejico and Honduras.
- Demand that the Fourth of July be celebrated or at least respected and that schools should raise the Stars & Bars and erase all traces of the Mexican flag during that day.
- Tell us where to send the donations for your funeral, 'cause you will probably be beaten to death .
Si seras pendeja muchacha.
Quick note: Cinco de Mayo is allegedly commemorated for the Battle of Puebla. Only the people from Puebla sort of celebrates it and only because you may get a free day off work. This battle was in between the Mexican Army and the French and the French lost…as usual. It is embarrassing that anybody would celebrate beating a country that has a genetic disposition to wave a whit flag. Somebody said that the Battle of Pueblas is like the end of Rocky 2: Mexico was declared the winner because they got up first to run away and the referee called a K.O. for the hell of it.

Tae-Kyun Kim to marry KBS tv reporter Seok-Ryu Kim
by Gen on Aug.02, 2010 @ 9:10 pm, under NPB
The Marines announced earlier today that Tae-Kyun Kim will be marrying Korean broadcaster KBS tv reporter Seok-Ryu Kim after the season in Korea.
Kim wasn't planning on making an announcement during the season, but since the cat got out of the bag in Korea, a decision was made to go ahead and make it official in Japan as well.

Woo! Alcohol! Fun times! Does it include a drunken brawl simulator?
I think this is the Sake guide, but how many Sake's are there?
More than you can count... Seriously. Think on the same sort of level as wine.
We`re Jizake (regional sake) fans - I won`t go so far as to say we know a whole lot about them, but it`s great fun to hunt out obscure and delicious varieties.
The EA logo got... smudged?
Well what makes sake sake then, and not just some other alcoholic beverage by any other name?
What makes wine wine then? Or beer beer? Or... name any other alcoholic beverage.
Even if you go to something simpler, and non-alcoholic... How about bread? I can think of a ton of different varieties of bread - and they`re all bread. The difference is in their flavor. They`re all based on the same concept - cooked flour.
The same deal with sake - which is just a rice base.
Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. You didn't need to digress so much; I wasn't challenging your claim, I genuinely had no idea what defined sake.
Sry mate, but that question was dumb.
Jesus! I did not know that! You can't find much of those over here.
Anyway, the only japanese drink you will find here is Midori (and it's not easy), I love it! I miss my "Midori illussion's" but the bottle is almost empty
I'm waiting for the bartending guide, just for the pics and numbers tho!
I don't think the logo got smudged, but rather, they are making it look kinda like a wax seal.
Doesn't ~50% of all asians get drunk after like one beer or sake because of a missing enzyme?
Nah man, I had some drinkin' buddies in Japan that could take a hit rivaling what some of the local hockey players were born with.
You actually hardly, if ever, see Midori over here. Although even if I spotted it, my husband hates hates HATES melon, so there would be no chance of buying it.
I`m partial to the lychee liqueur they seem to sell everywhere here... That and the huge bottles of umeshu we always have in the refrigerator.
I loooove umeshu. Never tried Midori though.... tastes like melon? Then I will probably adore it.
