After living in South Africa a couple of months, I can say without hesitation that I couldn't have chosen a more incredible market for my Global Fellowship. In addition to being one of the most beautiful and welcoming places I have ever lived, South Africa (and Africa as a whole) is overflowing with opportunity and the people here are eager to support new brands and leaders who will help foster growth and prosperity across the continent.
Even though I have only just begun to scratch the surface, here are a few refreshingly unique things about South African culture, as well as a few general communications insights to note about the market:
While it may seem obvious, far too often foreigners approach Africa as though it is one country and not a continent. They are then unpleasantly surprised when a launch strategy that was effective in South Africa isn't successful when mirrored in other African markets like Nigeria or Kenya. Therefore, it is imperative that both the overall communications marketing strategy and tactics are specifically tailored to address each African country, territory or island in unique and appropriate ways.
One of the most delightful parts about living in this country is how South Africans treat one another. There is a genuine discourse that is commonplace for even the most basic interactions. For example, if you want to pass a slow moving car in front of you on the highway, the driver ahead will willingly pull over to the shoulder so that you can pass safely. You would then put on your hazard lights to say "thank you" and they do the same as if saying "you're welcome – good luck." I digress. The point is, more so than other cultures, South Africans seem to have a sincere interest in establishing connections with others and this cultural nuance extends into the workplace. For instance, in South Africa, there is still a lot of value placed on meeting face-to-face, and having daily in-person engagement is essential for maintaining a healthy and successful relationship with clients. So, while in the States it has become very common to hold the majority of client/agency meetings remotely, that trend has not yet (and may never) take hold here.
The best way that I have been able to explain life in Johannesburg, and South Africa in general, is that everyone here is living in both a third and first world country. In this country alone there are 11 official languages, a drastic range of income levels and varying news source preferences. So, no matter what industry your client is in, communications marketing strategies have to span across all facets of the Cloverleaf in exceptionally creative and resourceful ways to be effective.
More to come!

Well as part of the postaday challenge you are given daily prompts to write about.. Well today's Daily Prompt: Wall to Wall asks you what you display on your walls at home?.. What kind of artwork do you display? Do you display photographs etc and what mood are you trying to create?
For me pictures have to colour co-ordinate with the colour of the room.. They have to blend into the decor and not be obtrusive. I like plain pictures, mainly prints which are not bold but subtle. And I don't like my walls cluttered. Oh my god, I know I shouldn't say this but I will, I can't abide walking into places where you can't see the colour of the walls or the pattern of the paper because every inch is covered up with photos, paintings or prints hanging there in their different frames and none of them matching.
If people are happy to have their walls cluttered, then that is down to them, and I am well mannered enough to keep my mouth shut.. but honestly it is not my taste.
Now as for the other half that lives here… oh I can't trust him to decide colours and accessories.. He says I have watched to many Ann Maurice House Doctor shows.. and have decluttered too much.. so my walls have minimum posters, pictures and photos on them.. In the lounge there is a mirror across the fireplace and one picture on the main wall opposite.
In the dining room, the main wall has a picture and we have a chiming clock in the corner of one wall. That is it.
I think our bedroom has most pictures, but again they are co-ordinated in white frames with the artwork being pieces of the wallpaper that was used on the feature wall.
Of course hubby collects film-cells… which I have in the hallway.. I can't deny him any wall space but to truthful I prefer plain walls in a hallway.
Plus another advantage of my minimalistic walls is this… you don't have a lot of cleaning to do.. 😀

A truck accident usually leads to severe injuries or fatalities because of the weight and size of the vehicle in relation to other cars. There are several unique aspects involved in truck accidents that can make it difficult to prove that another party is responsible. This makes legal representation essential. Prompt investigations are required after a truck accident to identify the party responsible. The accident can be blamed on the truck driver, hiring company, repair firm, government, vehicle manufacturer or careless drivers on the road. An attorney will investigate and analyze the case and determine if you are eligible for compensation.
According to California law, you can be compensated for loss of present and future earnings, wages, pain, suffering, mental anguish, income reduction, and medical expenses after your accident. The compensation will only be available if you are using a competent attorney. Look to the Distinguished Justice Advocates to find an experienced personal injury attorney who specializes in these kinds of accidents.

Out on Friday - 33% off NBA Live 18 (PS4, Xbox One)
On the fence about which basketball game to buy? NBA 2K18 will probably be a more popular game, however you can get Live 18 for $20 (33%) cheaper. My opinion? Get both.
Great price for a drive that's big on storage but small in footprint. It doesn't even need an AC adapter because it's completely USB powered. Makes great external storage for your PC, PS4, or Xbox One.
This speaker is a heck of a lot cheaper than your Beats and it has plenty of great user reviews on Amazon (over 500 with 86% average rating). Boasts up to 24 hours of playtime from a single charge and a built-in mic so that you can use this as a hands free speakerphone.
- Use code "SSLO27S7" to get it on Amazon for $15
This is the lowest price I've seen and the first time it has dropped under $100 (usually the BB-8 alone without the Force Band costs $100). The BB-8 can move 3 ways - autonomously, with arm gestures using the Force Band, and via an app on your smartphone. Like the droid in the movie, BB-8's head will "magically" (aka magnetically) always stay in the right place.
Use code "SAVE15" to get it from Jet.com for $279.85
- Get it from Walmart for $299

One of the must-own titles for the Playstation VR. The gunplay in Farpoint is exceptionally well done, IMO better than Robo Recall. If you own the PSVR, I'd definitely recommend this game.
Mafia III is an open-world GTA style game that takes place in 1968 in the fictional city of New Bordeaux (loosely modeled after New Orleans).
This is the lowest price ever for Andromeda. Anyone who says this game isn't worth this price is full of it. For $19.99 you are getting a AAA title that rated well on IGN (the same score, incidentally, as Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle and just shy of Ghost Recon: Wildlands, the best selling game of 2017).
Playstation Store is running a big sale on a random assortment of games, some very current blockbuster titles. The best deals are reserved for Playstation Plus members only.

Because it's technically not a "collector's edition", the 20% off Prime discount works! Besides the base game, this edition also includes Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, Far Harbor, Contraptions Workshop, Vault-Tec Workshop, and Nuka-World DLC add-ons. Last and certainly not least, you get a wearable Pip-Boy replica.
This super popular chair is orderable again. If you're tired of sitting in an old patio chair while you game, or you just want to upgrade your normal desk chair, this racing-style chair has solid reviews and the price is so good that we bought some ourselves..
There are so many editions of this movie, it gets sort of confusing. The Collector's Edition is everything put together in one package. It contains all versions of the film - the final cut, the director's cut, domestic and international versions, and the rare work print. It also includes a 72-page hardcover book with never-before-seen photos and scene sketches.
Less than $1 per pack of gamer food. Personally I like to add more stuff to make this soup taste really great - usually an egg, some kimchee, a little bit of pork, and some green onion.
For only $10 per course, you can train yourself in tools, software, and programming languages specific to the gaming industry. I and other people at IGN (and Ziff) have used Udemy and would easily recommend one of these hugely informative courses for the same cost as a Switch screen protector.
For storage that you can carry around, portable hard drives are easily the best value. They are small enough to fit in a pocket and yet hold boast way more capacity per dollar than USB flash drives. Best of all, there's no need to lug around an extra power brick. Compatible with PS4 and Xbox One.

The poetic rhetoric of the May '68 movement captured the idealistic fervour of the protesting youth and has remained one of its greatest strengths. Influenced by the Situationists (in turn influenced by Dadaism and Surrealism) they pasted posters and graffiti all around Paris, writing memorable slogans that have been reused and pastiched in French protest ever since.
The evolution of the slogans is clear as the movement progressed from mere discontent on campus to a wider attack on society as a whole. At the suburban university campus of Nanterre (where the problems escalated around the time Daniel Cohn-Bendit compared the French government to Hitler Youth) the students cried 'Professors, you are old!' Also evident in the slogans is an awareness of language and the strength of language as a tool of dissent. The posters and newspapers provide a visual representation of the rhetoric and language of the 1968 uprisings.
Other images also use the creative distortion of French linguistic formations. This slogan is making fun of the verb conjugation exercises that would have been learnt at school, but adds a very cynical edge. Translated, it means: I participate, you (singular) participate, he participates, we participate, you (plural) participate, they profit.
The students, rebelling against the old – the conservative education and the old man who ran their country – were also rebelling against the old ideas of literature and poetry. Rather than in the old books in the library, la poésie est dans la rue – poetry is in the street! The slogans scrawled as graffiti around Paris "were full of popular wit, but also…had a surrealist tone, symbolised in the assertion that 'imagination has seized power.'"*
Using words and phrases to fight against the old social order, the students created an atmosphere of possibility: Rêve + évolution = révolution ('Dream + evolution = revolution').
Given that it's also Australian Federal Budget Day today, it's the perfect time to get some enthusiastic idealism into you!
To write this post I just smooshed together notes I made while writing my honours thesis. Apologies for the undergraduate hyperbole.

Red tides sightedFriday, February 10, 2017
Two red tides have been sighted in Hong Kong waters over the past week, an inter-departmental red tide working group reported today (February 10).One of the red tides was spotted by staff of the Environmental Protection Department on February 6 at Shing Mun River Channel near Lion Bridge while the other one was sighted by staff of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) on February 8 at East Lamma Channel and West Lamma Channel.The red tide at East Lamma Channel and West Lamma Channel has dissipated while the one at Shing Mun River Channel still persists. No associated death of fish has been reported.A spokesman for the working group said, "The red tide at East Lamma Channel and West Lamma Channel was formed by Mesodinium rubrum whereas the one at Shing Mun River Channel was formed by Plagioselmis prolonga. Both species are non-toxic and commonly found in Hong Kong waters."The AFCD urged mariculturists at Cheung Sha Wan, Yim Tin Tsai, Yim Tin Tsai (East), Yung Shue Au, Lo Fu Wat, Lo Tik Wan, Sok Kwu Wan and Ma Wan fish culture zones to monitor the situation closely and increase aeration where necessary. Red tide is a natural phenomenon. The AFCD's proactive phytoplankton monitoring programme will continue monitoring red tide occurrences to minimise the impact on the mariculture industry and the public.

Thursday October 17:
2:00 PM Parking lot prayer send-off
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples" –John 15:8
These are the 2013 October team members: Mark Engstrom, Terry Lichte, Felipe Lopez, and Doug Keller. Doug has been to India twice before. Felipe, Mark and Terry have never been to India.
TACC's earlier trips have been predominately for evangelical purposes–sharing the gospel with the Adivasi through medical camps, children's programs, and door-to-door visits. Our October team will be doing a medical camp one day, but the rest of our time will be spent in discipleship in some of the villages we have already visited for evangelism. TACC teams have visited 42 of the 79 villages we are trying to reach. Of those 42 villages, 25 now have local fellowships of believers.
Our plan for this upcoming trip is to…
…visit 2 of those existing fellowships for worship and then to do discipleship training in the afternoon
…have believers from several villages meet with us a one centrally located village for a day of discipleship
…a day of discipleship with women from nearby villages
…meet with the SAS pastor/evangelists and lay leaders from their churches for discipleship focused on leading their flocks and developing future leaders
…a 'Big Gathering" of believers from multiple villages for a day of discipleship and fellowship
…the day of medical camp evangelism already mentioned above.

| Xdarkphoenix chapter 16 . 9/17/2013
'In the hallway, Jen sighed happily as she took the glass away from the door.' Lol! I was not expecting that. I've really enjoyed reading this. Its an incredibly sweet story and a well thought out/ written journey of a girl coming to terms with falling for another girl. The essence of SON. I love me some Spashley but I gotta say Jen is my favorite bit about this whole fic. Wishing she was featured in more fics. Thanks for the laughs and the awww worthy moments.
| Dav7788 chapter 17 . 2/11/2013
I loved this story it mad me laugh so many times.
| stubbornpiggy chapter 17 . 8/19/2012
Nice one, dude! I really enjoyed this story, esp. shy-turned-bold Spencer. Jen was a real crack up, too. And, damn, did Ash have a lot of patience or what?! Anyway, I thought the story was both realistic and entertaining, and was a good coming-out story for Spence. Very nicely done and thank you for this delightful story.
| waterproof88 chapter 17 . 7/30/2012
soon you are about to reach 300 reviews and I'll help you! :-) I love your story, the shy Spencer and the waiting but understanding Ashley. Your scenes were very emotional and realistic, especially the sex (foreplay) scenes! wow!
| WhenAnxietyKicksIn chapter 17 . 7/30/2012
I know it's been years but can I still beg for a sequel? This is the sweetest fic I've read. Thank you, oh so, very much!
| WhenAnxietyKicksIn chapter 14 . 7/30/2012

| WhenAnxietyKicksIn chapter 10 . 7/30/2012
But Jen wasn't a good friend, she was a best friend...
If everyone has a best friend like Jen, no one will be sad nor strayed.
| WhenAnxietyKicksIn chapter 9 . 7/30/2012

| WhenAnxietyKicksIn chapter 8 . 7/30/2012
I think this chapter is pertinent to the story development...not a filler at all. I rather like how this is unfolding, Jen confrontation to Ashley and Ashley's subtle way of just being 'there' for Spencer. Love everything you've written. Thank you :D
| WhenAnxietyKicksIn chapter 5 . 7/29/2012
"And at least I don't talk to myself in the mirror to practice for when I talk to Ashley."

The bristles pass me by again.
The Incisors get all the action. The property values in the extreme back of the mouth have really diminished of late; it's like there just isn't enough room for all of us in here. While the front choppers with their beach front property are doused in minty flouride, I'm back here in the ghetto marinating in Java Monster and Coke Zero, the remnants of the Knight's pathetic attempts to balance poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle with his dream of looking like his fictionalized version of himself.
I lack advancement.
I should have been evicted years ago, the Molars tell me. But they're no better than me. They shirk their duties, letting food particles pass over them and sticking me with all the real work. It's worse. Those bastards can chew while I can only gnaw–they always leave me encrusted and unfulfilled.
Does no one appreciate my wisdom?
After a few years of this, anyone would crack, right? I thought that maybe if I cut like the Incisors, those bristles might come my way and clean up the neighborhood. I mean sure, there's the occasional dousing of Listerine, but it's like sweeping the streets with acid rain. So when I finally broke, I made myself hard, sharp. Steak knives have nothing on me. And now that the Knight has actually cut some weight, my jagged edge is right up against the inside of his cheek.
Swallow. Do you feel me now? Bite down. Do you taste blood? Try giving that lecture over Hamlet with that iron taste in your throat. You deserve this. You didn't even notice when I splintered off, when my crown burst! How could you be so cruel? I mean, I am a part of you, after all.
I am part of you whether you want me or not.
Wait! What's that mirror doing back here? You… You didn't! A dentist? You vile betrayer! Molars, are you really going to let those needles get past you? Damn you! Don't you dare numb that cheek! No, wait! I've changed my mind! I can deal with the ghetto! So what if I can't keep up with the Incisors? Please let me stay! I can change! I'll get some counseling, file myself down, live as half a tooth! Please, please don't make me go!
"Come on," mutters the Dentist. "You don't really want to stay in there, do you?"
But the dread of something after death, the undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveller returns, puzzles the will! And makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of–
"Got it!"
And the Knight somehow manages though the Novocain, the last thing I shall ever hear:
"Goodnight, Sweet Prince."

Some day, Im Pil-sung is going to make a really great movie. ANTARCTIC JOURNAL, his first film, was not. And, sad to say, HANSEL & GRETEL is not one either.
The story is simple enough (and I will try to avoid spoilers). Eun-su (Cheon Jeong-myeong) is driving through the countryside, on his way to meet his mother, when he gets into a car accident. His is thrown from the car and passes out. When he wakes up, there is a girl with a red cloak and a lamp who guides him to her house in the forest.
The girl's house and family are very odd and unnatural. Lots of candy and sweet food, even though no one does any baking. Lots of bright colors and strange designs. And there are apparently some strange, nasty things that go bump in the night.
Eun-su also soon discovers that he cannot get away; there is no way out of the forest. After a couple of days, the kids' parents disappear, to be replaced by a more malevolent fellow. Gradually the mystery is revealed, along with plenty of blood and general ickiness.
The good? Well, the designs are the usual bright and freaky stuff we always expect from Ryu Seong-hee (OLDBOY, I'M A CYBORG BUT THAT'S OKAY, THE HOST). And there are parts (especially in the middle) where the surrealism is interesting and promising.
Unfortunately, the bad far outweighs the good. The story is too odd to be taken seriously as a drama, but not fantastic enough to be interesting in it's own right. Eun-su is not a very interesting character and does not draw you in at all. The psychology underlying the surreal story is puddle deep. Furthermore, the characters keep saying the same things over and over again... Very annoying.
In addition, like all Korean horror movies, a large chunk of the second half is filled with endless explaining and crying and explaining and crying. Ugh. Why do the bad, evil people at the heart of the story do the things they do? Who cares... they are just bad and evil. No nuance.
Which is too bad. I like Im. I think he is underrated. Considering how tepid and similar far too many Korean movies were these days, it is great to see someone trying to do something different and off-beat. I think he was trying to do something like PAN'S LABYRINTH, but Im's story is horribly underdeveloped.
If you are interested in seeing more of the film (despite my mean review), the movie trailer is at Youtube. You can also see the trailer at the movie's official website here.

More Crummy Than Bread Crumbs

Anyway i like the movie's art direction, i think at least the movie is work on this part.
This isn't a horror movie. It was meant to bring out the darknesses of human nature, how adults affect children's behavior, and probably the bad conditions of orphanages and such in Korea during the 1970's.

In the Freedom Business
Millions of people in this world suffer from extreme poverty and exploitation. When we seek to reach these people with Jesus' love, we need to communicate this message in a meaningful and appropriate way.
Our brothers and sisters living in situations of suffering need liberation from the physical and emotional pain they face every day, as well as the freedom that is found in a life centred in Jesus. Not only do people need to hear the gospel but they also need to feel it, touch it and experience its healing and freeing power in a tangible way. To communicate who Jesus is, how much He loves people and what it means to follow Him, we need a way that humbly and sacrificially brings God's justice, healing, and redeeming love to all aspects of a person's life… in other words, we need a holistic approach to mission and ministry.My wife and I, along with a team of passionate and inspirational people, live in a red-light district in Kolkata, India, and work in a business committed to sharing the message of Jesus in a holistic manner. The business was started ten years ago by a New Zealand couple, who moved to Kolkata with the simple desire to extend the love of Jesus to their neighbours. However, after the Smiths* naively signed up for an apartment in the middle of the day, they discovered they were living in a red-light area, and their 'neighbours' were over 10,000 women trapped in sexual exploitation and abuse.
Undeterred by the enormity of the task, and realising that communicating Jesus' love to these women through word only would be insufficient, the Smiths came up with the idea of starting an export business. The goal of the business would be to rescue women from the sex industry, but they knew that more than alternative employment was needed for the women to find true freedom. They needed a place where they could heal physically and emotionally, and where they could have a real encounter with Jesus in a new community of love, care and trust. With this vision as the foundation, the Smiths' business was born.
From its small beginnings of 20 women working out of a rented apartment making jute bags, the business now employs over 170 women, and sells hundreds of thousands of fair trade bags and t-shirts every year. Most importantly, though, it's a business that offers an opportunity to be part of a community of unconditional love, where people can find freedom, hope and healing, and come to know Jesus. Hundreds of women's lives are being transformed through this holistic approach to ministry, and the stories emerging from the work of the business are amazing and inspirational.
Suraya* was trafficked from rural Bangladesh when she was thirteen years old. She came from a poor, uneducated family, and faced very limited employment options. When a smartly dressed businessman told her he could secure her well-paid domestic employment in the city – the wages would support her entire family! – Suraya agreed to go. However, there was no domestic service job waiting for her; instead she was taken to a red-light area, and was sold, drugged and raped. This was her life for twenty years until she started working in the Smiths' newly opened business. Suraya's new job provided not only freedom from the sex trade but also education and healthcare. As she was loved and cared for and treated with respect, Suraya regained her confidence and self-esteem, and became a follower of Jesus. Now a senior member of the business, Suraya still walks the streets and lanes where she used to work, but now it is to take a message of freedom, hope and healing to the women still trapped there.
Holistic mission – bringing Jesus' love and liberating power to every aspect of a person's life – should not be reserved just for the overseas mission field. It can, and should, be applied wherever we seek to express the love of Jesus, whether in a red-light district in India, in a struggling community in New Zealand, at school, at work, or with the person who lives next door. Jesus' call to His followers is to bring the kingdom of God to earth, to feed the hungry, heal the sick, care for the widow and orphan, to be generous, to turn the other cheek, and to invite people to find freedom in Him and His way.
My personal journey that led me here to Kolkata, to help free women from slavery, was shaped by many things: overseas travel where I witnessed extreme suffering in the lives of women; questions about God, His plans for the world, and what it truly meant to be a follower of Jesus; and questions about the life I was living. Was working nine to five – so I could buy things I didn't really need – and just 'doing' Church on Sunday, really living out Jesus' call to build the kingdom of God here on earth?
As I wrestled with these issues, I reflected on the six months I'd spent as a volunteer with the Smiths' business several years before, and on how much my own faith had been impacted and transformed by the women I had prayed, sung and eaten with. And I realised that my time of living in that red-light district, walking as the broken person I am with other broken people, and seeking transformation together in a community of faith centred on Jesus, had made more sense, had been more exciting, and held more beauty than anything I had experienced before.

[Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
Chapter 40: To think that you were this kind of person
It was night. The moonlight was cold and clear as it scattered within the vast and boundless Dark Forest. The bright, silver moonlight added a few traces of silence and and comfort to the Dark Forest.
Several crude and simple tents were respectively erected on the soft grass. After experiencing a day's worth of labors, the students were tired, holding murmured conversations or meditating. Han Shuo surreptitiously hid behind a towering tree as he chanted an incantation.
A beam of light flashed through thin air as a small skeleton, holding a bone dagger, abruptly materialized. Under Han Shuo's guidance, it flew soundlessly towards the tent Clark was residing in.
Clark's tent was pitched a bit of a distance away from the students. Although he appeared humble and genteel on the surface, apart from being friendly and genuine with Fanny, his gaze towards the students held a subtle undercurrent of lofty disdain. His tent was also completely different from other people's and was a distance away by himself.
The little skeleton was agile and its inky-black form melded with the darkness. It didn't make a single whisper of a sound as it walked, and had arrived at Clark's tent within roughly ten seconds. The little skeleton slipped inside Clark's tent after Han Shuo's command.
A low grunt of pain sounded as Clark's tent spontaneously collapsed. The little skeleton figure abruptly dashed out and it fled quickly to the southwest.
After a cry of pain, Clark flew out of his tent in a bedraggled state. He held his longsword in his hand as he gazed around in all four corners, then huffed angrily as it followed in the direction that the little skeleton had taken, muttering strings of low-voiced curses.
Success! Han Shuo laughed silently.
Han Shuo cackled evilly as he closely followed in Clark's footsteps. Hidden in the shadows, he wove quickly around the corners of the trees.
Southwest direction, a spacious pool of water. Strange, curved trees lined the banks. Beneath the light of the bright moon, the clear currents of the pool sparkled with silver color.
Continuous splashing sounds along with the sounds of laughter came from the surface of the pool, breathing in a few hints of life into the silent pool.
"Lisa, have you started developing? Your breasts seem to have changed lately?"
"Hehe, Master Fanny, let me tell you something. Swimming can actually enlarge breasts. I only discovered this secret after trying it."
"Really?" Fanny exclaimed in astonishment and then laughed involuntary. "No wonder, I was wondering why you suddenly became infatuated with swimming lately. So this is the reason why. Heh heh, then we should swim longer today."
"Master Fanny, your breasts are already so well developed… Why would you still care about this matter?"
"Heh, of course. No woman wouldn't care about this."
"I see. Hehe, apart from swimming, drinking milk, and massaging during showers can all help breasts become firm and perky. This has been my experience! I've been doing this lately and can really feel the changes in my breasts. Master Fanny, you can try too!"
"Ah, Lisa you seem to understand quite a lot now, but your breasts have actually been changing recently, it looks like your methods are effective."
"But of course. Hehe, you can't go wrong listening to me." Lisa laughed a light, proud laugh as she spoke to Fanny.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps abruptly sounded in the distance. Fanny and Lisa looked at each other and Fanny frowned. "What is that noise?"
Lisa has ducked into the water so that only her head was showing and was equally perplexed. She shook her head and said, "I don't know, I discovered this area while I was collected firewood earlier today. No one else should know of this place."
Fanny and Lisa were a bit surprised and about to leave when the footsteps grew nearer, and a heavily sweating Clark burst into view along the pool's edge. He looked to and fro, surveying the vicinity.
When Clark saw Fanny and Lisa in the pool, all three exclaimed in shock at the same time. Lisa was utterly discomfited and hastily hid her body in the pool, pointing a frantic finger at Clark and speaking angrily, "Damnit, how could you commit an act like voyeurism as a noble knight!? You're disgusting."
"No, this isn't what you think. I found this place because I was tracking a monster." Clark was extremely upset and rushed to explain.
"Leave immediately! Clark, you have disappointed me greatly. To think that you were this kind of person!" Fanny also had a wrathful expression as her facial expression and tone turned frosty.
"Master Fanny, I really didn't mean to come here to peep. Please let me explain." Clark was sweating profusely as he too hadn't thought that he would bump into Fanny and Lisa swimming here. He thought it was a bit odd and hastened to explain.
"Leave, immediately!" Fanny and Lisa gasped and screamed in unison as Clark was hurriedly explaining.
A resigned and wry smile on his face, Clark sighed and slightly bowed at the two from afar. He said apologetically, "My apologies to you both. I will leave immediately. I hope you don't think that badly of me, I really didn't mean to."
Clark had a downcast expression and left with a dejected droop to his shoulders when he finished speaking. A round of complaints flew out of his mouth as he sighed and moaned that his luck was just too bad.
Han Shuo's surreptitious figure materialized from the shadows of the tree after Clark had left, and he stuck up his middle finger to the figure walking away into the distance. He cackled as he said in a low voice, "Trying to steal my woman. Go to hell noble knight!"
"It turns out that noble knights also have disgusting hobbies." Lisa was still infuriated and she snorted slightly with a face full of disdain.
"Men are all the same, noble knights are like this, lowly errand slaves are also like this. Only some know how to conceal it and others don't." Fanny also snorted lightly and said with some emotion.
"Errand slaves? Master Fanny, are you talking about Bryan?" Lisa was startled and then seemed to think of something at she stared at Fanny oddly.
"Eh… no, no. I was just sighing, purely sighing. Heh heh, Lisa don't imagine things." Fanny was internally startled that she had spilled the beans, and hastily laughed in embarrassment as a cover up after Lisa's question.
But Lisa's face was still full of suspicion after Fanny's explanation, and her gaze towards Fanny was also a bit strange. She kept murmuring, "Can it really be Bryan?"
Han Shuo had been concealed in the shadow of the trees and watching the two lecherously when he heard their words. His heart jumped, but before he had time to reflect, his eyes suddenly grew wide and his entire being speechless and dumbfounded.
Fanny had slowly started walking towards the edge of the pool at this time, and the body that had been obscured within the pool started to slowly emerge. The clear, bright moonlight scattered over Fanny's flawless body. Crystalline drops of water on her pure, white skin were like rolling gems beneath the moonlight, lightly traveling past her satin-like body.
Her upper body, as revealed beneath the moon's light, was so beautiful that it made Han Shuo dizzy. Her breasts were full and upright, with two mesmerizing spots of blush at the peaks. There wasn't an ounce of fat on her tightly toned lower body, and her slender arms were as tender as the snow lotus. A head full of beautiful, light-purple locks were scattered messily over her smooth shoulders. She displayed a soul and heart stealing allure.
The rest of her lower body was immersed in the water starting from her lower abdomen, but under the light of the moon, Han Shuo could still make out sparkling white legs beneath the clear pool waters.
This was the first time that Han Shuo had seen a naked girl, and such an extraordinary beauty at that. Fanny's transcendent beauty and perfect figure under the moonlight, with water droplets slowly rolling off of it, caused Han Shuo to become utterly gobsmacked. His entire being immediately sank into a sluggish state.
A strange sound suddenly traveled into Han Shuo's ears, and his dumbly staring self suddenly startled awake and started surveying the area.
A loud, panicked scream emitted from Lisa's mouth. Lisa was still in the deep waters of the pond and was pointing fearfully behind her. She screamed hoarsely, "Master… Master Fanny, Deepwater Venom Python!"
Fanny blanked and turned her head to discover a light-green, spiked back ridge, a five or six meter long enormous python was quickly swimming in from the far reaches of the pool. A savage and merciless light was flashing in the python's dark green eyes, and its heavily fanged mouth spat out dark green smoke as it quickly approached Lisa.
"Run Lisa! Hurry and run!" Fanny's expression had also changed drastically and she screamed frantically.
But Lisa had been terror struck. Her originally fast moving figure had slowed down considerably due to the arrival of the Deepwater Venom Python, despite her arms and legs making splashes on the water surface.
"Master Fanny, wah wah… save me!" Lisa's voice was choked up as she screamed in a panicked frenzy. Her arms and legs moved in unison in a bid to reach the pool banks faster, but the Deepwater Venom Python drew ever closer to her.
"Damnit, where is that Clark now?!" Fanny cussed out of character for her, and her perfect body started back, making for Lisa's direction.
At this moment, Han Shuo had completely recollected himself and gazed at the Deepwater Venom Python that continued to get closer. He hesitated, and then abruptly dashed out of the tree's shadows. He called loudly, "What's going on. Eh? Deepwater Venom Python, let me help you."
The Deepwater Venom Python was a level three magical creature. Not only did its body possess strong attack power, but its mouth could also spit out a poison mist, not to mention its speed and advantages had all been greatly increased because it was still in the water.
A level four Frost Eagle could only be brought down with herculean effort from everyone. This level three Deepwater Venom Python would be even harder to handle. Even Han Shuo didn't feel completely confident, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Fanny be eaten. He had to rush out even in the face of death.
"Damnit, screw it!" Han Shuo pulled out a dagger and his body flashed like lightning through the dark forest as he rushed towards the pool of water.

Updated 1:35 pm ET.
During an appearance in Washington Tuesday, Vice President Biden disgorged the word "shylock," an ancient slur against Jews.
Biden was talking about how his son, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, would hear about people's financial problems while he was serving in Iraq:
People would come to him and talk about what was happening to them at home in terms of foreclosures, in terms of bad loans that were being–I mean, these Shylocks who took advantage of these women and men while overseas.
Sounds fishy. Why were people coming to Beau Biden to discuss their finances?
Anyway, no, of course I don't think he was actually trying to malign the Jewish people. He's just . . . he's just Biden. And somehow, he became vice president.
At least one Jewish leader reacted with outrage:
"Shylock represents the medieval stereotype about Jews and remains an offensive characterization to this day," said Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman. "The Vice President should have been more careful."
Shylock was the moneylender in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. The character became a stereotype that has come down through the years, serving as an epithet to describe Jews as greedy and crafty about money.
Biden was speaking to the Legal Services Corporation, which offers legal assistance to the poor.
UPDATE: Biden responds:
Abe Foxman has been a friend and adviser of mine for a long time. He's correct, it was a poor choice of words, particularly as he said coming from 'someone as friendly to the Jewish community and open and tolerant an individual as is Vice President Joe Biden.' He's right.

After The Falklands Campaign - A Short Personal Account
~ by Sqn Ldr Laurie Ramage (Retd), Ex OC 1312 Flt
Many books and TV documentaries have been produced about the Falkland Island Campaign of 1982. 1982! It seems such a long time ago. Because the conflict theatre was only really accessible by sea, 30 Sqn was not involved in the actual fighting. However, we certainly were involved with the defence and maintenance of peace after the cessation of hostilities. So, what has been written about that then? Actually, not a lot, but it may surprise you to know that personnel from 30 Sqn, and 24 Sqn, had a presence on the Island for the following 20-plus years.
As part of the on going effort to supply the Falklands, the Hercules was very quickly, and successfully, converted to a tanker. Not only was this role essential for in-theatre operations, but also to resupply the Falklands with personnel and vital supplies for many years after the campaign.
1312 Flight's Role
This was a daily task and could take several hours with each vessel having to be photographed for the 'Intelligence' boys. This was done at low-level (250ft or lower sometimes), 270kts (max low-level speed for a C130K) but with 60 - 70 ships to be checked, this was a tiring and tedious job.
Our last two roles were Search and Rescue and Casualty Evacuation. The seas around the Falklands could be treacherous and unpredictable. When a storm blew in some of the lucky fishing vessels might be able to reach the safety of harbour, but for many weathering the onslaught of heavy seas and very strong winds was their only option. Our Hercs carried a full sea survival kit on board, mainly for people either in lifeboats or in the water. To lift the injured or sick off a ship the services of the brave lads in their helicopters were required. In this case, the Herc was used for 'top cover' and was needed to established communications with the vessel before the arrival of the helicopter.
South Georgia
As many of you will know, South Georgia is where the action started in the South Atlantic. It was about 4 hours flying time south east of the Falklands in a Herc and it's main settlement was called Grytviken. It was our job to drop valuable supplied and mail to the small garrison there. Fine, except for the fact that Grytviken lay within a very small bay surrounded by very steep mountains.
Having completed the drop, we would carry out a recce around the island to see if anyone was hiding out in the old disused whaling stations - thankfully, we never found anyone.
Virtually everyone on the Sqn at that time, did a 4-month spell away from there loved ones in the South Atlantic.. Immediately after the conflict Sqn personnel were accommodated in 12'x12' Army pattern tents. If you were unlucky enough to serve your time during a Falklands winter - watch out!
After a few years of the Coastels they were sold to be made into a civilian prison. Before that could be done... they had to be upgraded! The eventual move to the purpose build RAF Mount Pleasant saw the accommodation become a little more 'standard'. The whole accommodation area, affectionately known as the Death Star, was a large single level expanse of Swedish style rooms and corridors.
1312 Flight's buildings were by the air traffic tower, as far away as possible from the main admin side of the Station on the far side of the Airfield. Not surprisingly, this suited most of us especially as there was an aircrew 'feeder' close by that we shared with the air traffic guys and gals. This was a happy time with a total of 40 personnel (3 x Herc crews, and approximately 25 ground crew) providing the manning. In late 1995, things were about to change.
"VC10s are coming!"
I know, I know, as daft as it seems 2 x VC10s were due to take the place of the Herc tankers. In a nutshell, the Hercs were getting a little worn due to high fatigue and continual punishment from the weather. Our lords and masters decided that they needed to reduce the number of expensive VC10s in the UK and either mothball them or shift them to another budget - am I sounding a bit cynical? So the fatigued Hercs were about to be replaced by an even more fatigued aircraft - brilliant! These aircraft were restricted to just 1.5g, which is next to nothing really and you'd have to be very careful in a turn. As a true testament to RAF engineering the VC10s are still there, although I doubt very much they are doing the sort of tasks we did - perhaps the tasks we did are no longer required in these days of chumliness e.t.c, anyway, on to more important things...
Downtown Stanley
There were lots of (OK, some) places to look at including Government House, where the early action took place, the Christ Church Cathedral with it's whale bone archway at the entrance, to name just two. Decent shops were not exactly abundant - The Pink Shop was about the only place to find souvenirs however, the East India Company did run a small grocery store which doubled up as a trading station.
Drinking in local pubs basically came down to The Victory Bar which I have to say, at that time, was rather intimidating especially to non-locals. Thankfully, the general attitude to the British Forces was quite good. If you wanted a slap-up meal and decent surroundings, the best you could get was at The Upland Goose - run by Des.
Rest and Relaxation!

Fashion Tips: Always Look Your Greatest
Should you be a fashion misfit, chances are you do not look and feel as good as you desire. Developing a great fashion sense is not really as difficult as you might think. The tips packed into this article will help you quickly boost your fashion.
When picking clothes, take into consideration what season you are. If you look great in reds and oranges, you are a "summer" and in all probability will appear good in any warm color (like yellow). When you look really good in blues, you might be likely a "winter" and check good in whites and greys also.
It is fashionable males to wear clothes that are very baggy, but this needs to be avoided. This makes you appear sloppy and could make you look greater than you really are. While you do not have to put on anything that is way too restricted, one size larger than your actual size ought to be the limit.
Only buy clothes which can be flattering in your figure. Do not think you have to have every fashion trend that is certainly available, even when it does not look really good on you. Irrespective of how trendy a product is, should it be not flattering for your figure, don't consider buying it.
When you are usually a little around the heavy side, do not try to hide your shape by dressing in baggy clothing. The additional volume only accentuates your size and makes you look frumpy. Search for clothing that is certainly more fitted around your waistline, but then flows away from your lower body to generate more shape.
Copy the style cheaper. When you see a style you love within a high-end fashion magazine or spot your best celebrity sporting a style to die for, don't automatically assume that it is from the budget. It is possible to develop a very similar look for a whole lot less should you be happy to look around.
If you are utilized to dressing down but you would want to liven up your personal style, try buying some sparkly accessories. These is likely to make your outfit look brighter and you will definitely not have to make positive changes to entire style. You possibly can make a plain outfit fit for any occasion by changing the fashion of accessories.
In today's business community, it is actually imperative that men be well dressed. Therefore, it is recommended to look for top drawer clothing when purchasing clothes for your upcoming interview. To begin with your quest, look through today's business magazines to make sure your wardrobe matches the very best executives. Search for whether men are wearing cuffed pants or hemmed pants, ties with designs or solid ties along with what type of shoe is now in fashion.
Mentioned previously on the opening on this article, boosting your fashion style can dramatically increase your appearance. The new fashion advice you've just learned, if used on your daily life, will allow you to feel and look a lot better than you ever have before. You no longer need to be a fashion misfit.
Thanks for reading. Written by Jeff from Arropafashion community
