Cows will usually hang around by themselves, hang their tail out, act anxious or uncomfortable, some will get snotty, manure gets looser as they get close to calving, the mucus discharged becomes clear, their udder begins to fill. Hope this helps.

REPOST: Adventurous Appetites in Madrid
Adventurous Appetites is a tour company (one of many) that was listed as an option when first planning our trip, and after some research, watching a load of videos and reading a ton of feedback on Trip Advisor, we decided this was the tapas tour we wanted to trust during our first visit to the food-centric city of Madrid.
Having scheduled our tapas tour on our very first day was truly a genius move (on my part, of course), as our in-depth look at how Madrileños enjoy their nights set us up for absolute success throughout our entire stay. Danny, our guide, showed up at the meeting place on time, and after a brief moment of waiting on another couple who eventually never showed up, we were off to explore Madrid. Along the way, Danny gave us an insider's explanation of Madrid's tradition of tapas and what we should expect during the evening. He pointed out historical facts, plentiful in such a place as Madrid, and did so in an engaging and charming way. His demeanor was welcoming, sincere and the foundation of why we had such a phenomenal experience during our tapas tour.
Our first stop was the Taverna de los Ángeles, where we devoured setas (mushrooms) in white wine and butter, chorizo (sausage) with potatoes and other amazing tapas, along with a festive introduction to La Larada Sidre Natural (natural cider). What fun! Our group's enthusiasm for pouring the elixir just added to the excitement, and we even got to use the Tinto Maceración to add some bubble and laughter to the cider drinking experience.
Next we made our way through Puerta del Sol, making a quick stop at San Gines for a peek at the famous chocolatería, strolling through Plaza Mayor, listening to Danny explain the long-standing traditions and medieval events that occurred within Spain's distant past. In addition, we enjoyed a lesson about the Spanish nativity or Belén and about the mischievous and peculiar little "Caganer" character. Needless to say, the information was both intriguing and, at times, hilarious. More details on that another time.
At La Venencia, clearly a local favorite with a narrow, clandestine-like entryway, we were greeted with a few stares and asked politely not to take photos. Moments later, we were treated with melt-in-your-mouth jamón and the most delightfully salty Spanish olives and cheese. The sherry tasting was quite the experience, and I can now see why such a mysterious greeting was offered. If I had that treasure trove of sherry, I wouldn't want anyone to take pictures or steal away too much either! It was wonderful!
El Lacón was our absolute favorite stop and our "go to" for the rest of our trip. We visited three times during our stay in Madrid and had amazing tapas and great rapport with the bartenders each time. Danny walked us through callos a la Madrileña (stew made with beef tripe), a great, comforting resemblance to menudo for me, as well as a variety of delicious, traditional tapas, including the incredibly delectable morcilla (blood sausage made with rice). We enjoyed espárragos (asparagus) and pimientos de padrón (peppers similar to charred shishito peppers)… la comida fue maravillosa! And, let's not forget about the wine. This stop was where Danny talked in-depth about the tradition of tapas, the wines of Spain and how important the relationship is between drink and food at every tapas bar in Madrid. Again, another topic I'll tackle later.
At Terramundi, we feasted with a sit-down meal of chipirones a la plancha (grilled baby squid or cuttlefish, although cuttlefish is also called sepia in other places), pulpo a la plancha (grilled octopus), lacón (pork shoulder) and chorizo, all while sipping on Albariño and listening to everyone's animated perspective on how we'd fed our adventurous appetites that evening. The torrija de pan de nueces (a type of bread pudding with caramelized nuts) was the ultimate sweet treat to top off the evening, and as we all stood around post-meal and gathered to take a photo, I was pleasantly reminded of how much food, drink and comradery go hand in hand, regardless of where you are in the world.
As most of our group parted ways, Danny was still enthusiastic about one last stop, and so were we! My husband and I, along with one other pair, followed Danny just up the street for one last toast for the evening. We lingered there for a while, talking about our stay, where to eat, what to see, and how much we had enjoyed our tour. To our dismay, our evening of food, wine, camaraderie and valuable information had finally come to an end, and we bid a very genuine and appreciative farewell to our new friend, Danny.

UPDATE July 7, 2017
We've been reminiscing quite a bit lately about Madrid, especially since one of our friends recently traveled to Madrid, and another friend is planning a trip to Spain later this year. And, I went back over this blog post to discover that I'd left out (oh, I don't know) about a bazillion food pics and mentions of other areas around Madrid! I think I was focusing on the food tour at the time — which I still stand by 1,000% (they are actually now a client of mine I loved them so much). But, I wanted to provide a quick update, adventure map, and additional food pics to prepare anyone for their adventures in Madrid.
How I forgot to mention out visit to El Botín is beyond me. Perhaps, I was on cloud nueve and mesmerized by castanets or something. But, you have to go to El Botín. It is the oldest restaurant in the world, founded in 1725, and it is absolutely worth the planning and expense. It's the definition of "once in a lifetime" experience. The entire time we were sitting in those seemingly tiny chairs pressed firmly in earshot of your neighbor's conversation, I kept thinking, "I'm in the same building, same room, as someone from 1725. I'm eating from a hearth oven that has pridefully served thousands and thousands of Spaniards, world travelers — Charles III of Spain could have known about this place." Needless to say, it was a mind-blowing experience for me, and the food upheld the restaurant's reputation. It's a must-do in Madrid.
I've included pics from El Botín, as well as pics from the marketplaces and restaurants we visited (names in captions) — plus, an adventure map for anyone who wants to know how to plan a day. (PS – eat Sepilla a la Plancha at El Lacón… repeatedly. It's amazing.) Okay, I created the map for the friend who recently traveled to Madrid, and I'm going to share this post with our other friend who's traveling later this year. And, this is for you, too! All of this reminiscing… we may just have to plan another visit… and soon!

In a short film by Maarit Suomi-Väänänen, Log Head (10min, 2015), a personified tree log equipped with skis, furry hat and feelings goes out and about its day in the forest.
Encounters with other more-or-less lively inhabitants make Log Head act and react in a quest for something yet unknown to the viewer. Log Head (or Pölkyllä Pää in its original Finnish name) has a voice, but uses sounds instead of words to express its emotions.
The forest journey is an insight into Log Head's inner life, joys and struggles in a plot where comedy and drama are charmingly intertwined. One cannot help but feel empathy towards this Log Head fellow and soon after watching the question emerges:
Who IS Log Head? Is it a person, a child, an animal, a spirit? Whatever the answer, it somehow feels like there is a little bit of each and every one of us in this funny and slightly-troubled soul.

I asked the artist to give her own insight into the life of her character and short film Log Head, as well as thoughts on her retrospective series SUPER NORTH. The series is part of the DocPoint film festival, where Log Head had its premiere in Helsinki earlier this week, on Tuesday 26 February 2016.
The Art Trail: Who is Log Head in your view? what is the main feeling you wanted to transmit to the audience through the character?
Maarit Suomi-Väänänen: To me, Log Head represents a genderless being. Through this character, I wanted to also point out that we humans are defined by much more than our gender. My intention was to portray a genderless, ageless and neutral state of existence. Log Head is at times child, animal, man, woman, gnome / spirit of the forest, or then a mere piece of wood. This multilateral concept was also very important when creating the sounds, as Log Head's identity encompasses both male and female characteristics. Log Head is androgynous. I personally find dual gender divisions insensitive and inflexible.
Similar to the previous parts of my special effects trilogy Crazy May – including Up And About Again (9min, 2009) & Misty Ticket (12min, 2012) – Log Head is meant for audiences of all ages, including children. It is a work of art accessible to everyone and can make for a playful, emotional and intellectual viewing.
TAT: Where will people be able to see Log Head aside from DocPoint? Any possibility for international audiences to see it?
For those of you in Helsinki who have not yet had the chance to see it, Log Head will be on exhibition next month at FORUM BOX MediaBox. The opening will be on 11 February and exhibition will last until 6 March 2016.
Meanwhile, you can get a glimpse from the trailer:
Maarit Suomi-Väänänen is an award winning media artist and graduate of the University of Art and Design, Helsinki. Maarit combines the expressive forms of visual art to optical possibilities. Her short films ponder social and emotional themes as well as themes connected to identity and communication. Praised as fascinating and open to a multitude of interpretations, Maarit's works have toured in 40 countries and presented in numerous galleries, institutions, festivals and broadcast, including the Museum of Modern Art Kiasma in Helsinki, YLE Finnish Broadcasting Company, IDFA in Amsterdam, and the Virserum Kunsthall in Sweden along with the work of renowned video artists, Bill Viola and Eija-Liisa Ahtila, among others. 2016 Maarit will work in the Gleis70 residency for 5months in Zurich.

Roberts MM, Alexander FE, Anderson TJ, et al.
Between 1979 and 1981, 45,130 women in Edinburgh aged 45-64 were entered into a randomised trial of breast cancer screening by mammography and clinical examination. The initial attendance rate was 61% but this varied according to age and socioeconomic status and decreased over succeeding years. The cancer detection rate was 6.2 per 1000 women attending at the first visit; the rate fell to around 3 per 1000 in the years when mammography was routinely repeated and to around 1 per 1000 at the intervening visits with clinical examination alone as the screening method. After 7 years of follow-up the mortality reduction achieved was 17% (relative risk = 0.83, 95% CI 0.58-1.18), which was not statistically significant, even when corrected for socioeconomic status. In women aged 50 years and over a mortality reduction of 20% was achieved.

Research Project #1: Hydrogel Culture Environments for Regenerative Medicine Applications
We can interrogate and take advantage of the critical interactions between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) to create bioactive materials capable of controlling cell function and tissue evolution. To determine the requirements of the microenvironment, we utilize hydrogels easily modified with respect to mechanical integrity, adhesive peptides, ECM molecules, degradability, and incorporation of drugs, to direct cellular differentiation through a variety of mechanisms.
In particular, we are interested in utilizing hydrogel microenvironments to direct encapsulated mesenchymal stem cell (adult stem cell) function for applications in musculoskeletal tissue engineering. A thorough understanding of how material properties effect cell differentiation and tissue evolution is essential to tailor 'instructive materials' to direct cell function.
Research Project #2: Targeted Polymer Therapeutics to Overcome Drug Delivery Barriers
Conventional small molecule drugs and large macromolecular drugs have significant and distinctly different delivery barriers. For example, small molecule drugs, such as the chemotherapeutic doxorubicin, is highly hydrophobic, thus administration requires toxic cosolvents to aid blood solubility. Macromolecular drugs, on the other hand, suffer from enzymatic degradation and inactivation, difficulty in targeting to the appropriate cells and transversing the cell membrane, and often become degraded intracellularly once endocytosed. We are investigating polymer-drug complexes or polymer-drug conjugates to overcome these barriers and modulate drug delivery.
Professor Wyatt Tenhaeff
Department of Chemical Engineering
Research Project:
Solid state thin film lithium metal batteries represent the greatest success in energy storage miniaturization. They provide high energy and power densities (when neglecting packaging), remarkable rate performance, long lifetimes, and safe, flexible integration given their solid state construction. The undergraduate research assistant will synthesize and characterize new thin film electrodes for incorporation into these thin film batteries. Physical vapor deposition techniques will be used to synthesize the materials. Preliminary characterization will be achieved through the fabrication and cycling of full battery cells. The student should have a strong background in chemistry and preferably materials science.

Metering Options
The following metering solutions are available:
- Bulk metering and analyses;
- Prepaid;
- Credit metering with an automatic meter reading (AMR) system;
- Credit "prepayment" metering with an AMR-system.
The management and reading of the bulk supply meter, irrespective of the type of sub metering employed, is essential firstly to check and confirm the bill received from the supply authority and secondly to reconciliate the bulk purchase cost with the income from sales beyond the bulk meter.
With prepaid metering a large percentage of the income from sales are lost to pay the vending company and the 3rd party. Some metering companies charge as much as 15%.
There are different types of prepaid meters depending on the installation requirements:
- Conventional prepayment meter (the metering unit and keypad are an integrated unit).
- Split meters (the metering unit is split from the keypad and located in the external power kiosk and the keypad in the house).
The different vending solutions are as follows:
- Scratch cards
- E-Vend (server managing system)
- 3rd party vending (for example via Easy Pay)

Wests Tigers half Benji Marshall has finally put pen to paper today with his club, ending the Japan saga that was hanging over his head.
While few could tell if the approach from Japanese Rugby was genuine, Marshall wanted to do away with the speculation and focus on football alone – today agreeing to stay with Wests until the end of the 2011 NRL season.
Hot on the heels of Robbie Farah signing with the club, the Wests Tigers have done well to lock down two marquee players in quick succession. With the recent signing of Gareth Ellis, along with a plan to grab at least 1 marquee player a year – Tiger town is looking good.
Marshall was closely watched by NRL officials and fellow players alike; as he eyed off an NRL off-season in Japanese rugby. At one stage, the talented half hinting at letting his contract lapse so he could officially play in Japan for several months – then rejoin the Tigers soon after.
The Tigers play Canberra in their season opener at Campbelltown on Monday night and are short priced favourites to take the early 2 points on offer.

The Faith & Work of Evelyn Waugh
by James E. Person, Jr.
As a writer, he could be deliciously cruel. In a book review, he once said that to behold one unfortunate writer's fumbling attempts to use "our rich and delicate language is to experience all the horror of seeing a Sevre vase in the hands of a chimpanzee." Of one of his friend Graham Greene's novels, he wrote that "its selection as the Book of the Month will bring it to a much larger public than can profitably read it."
As a man, he could be equally cruel. He bestowed upon family members as well as sworn enemies such nickna . . .

Women are still under-represented at all levels of government!
• Women hold only 17% of the seats in Congress.
• Only 22% of all statewide elective executive office positions are currently held by women.
• State Legislatures are only 24% women.
• Only 6 out of 50 states have a female governor.
• The United States trails behind much of the world—ranking 90th in the number of women in our national legislature. (*Note: The U.S. is listed as 73rd, but after accounting for tied rankings of other countries, the ranking for the U.S. is 90th. Source)
• On average, male cabinet appointees outnumber women cabinet appointees in our states by a ratio of 2 to 1.
• 50% less women than men consider of running for office. Of those, 30% less actually run, with only a fraction seeking higher office. (Lawless, Jennifer and Richard L Fox. It Takes a Candidate: Why Women Don't Run for Office. New York: Cambridge UP, 2005.)
• Women constituted 54% of voters in the 2008 elections, but only 24% of state legislators.
• Women of color represent only 4% of Congress and 23% of women Members of Congress.

Crème de la Mer is one of the most coveted skincare brands in the world but since its moisturiser retails for a cool £115 for 30ml, we decided to find the best alternatives that are much more purse friendly
Known for its luxurious moisturising properties, Crème de la Mer has built up a cult following and reputation as the finest moisturiser money can buy. But if you don't have the budget of Chrissy Teigan, it appears a little excessive to spend so much money on moisturiser. However, in our quest to keep our skin looking perfect we've found all the best moisturisers that can rival Crème de la Mer but are much kinder to our bank balance.
Want a designer wardrobe but your bank balance is saying otherwise? Look no further...
While definitely not the cheapest option, Estee Lauder's advanced night repair has also gained a cult following thanks to its incredible properties that work to reveal a smoother, more radiant, younger look.
This moisturiser works to intensely moisturise your skin, leaving it visibly plumper, fresh and radiant.
£13.5 £10.8
This creme has long been purported as an excellent dupe for Creme de la Mer as it contains a number of similar ingredients, all working to expertly smooth your skin.
Formulated to leave sensitive skin optimally hydrated, calmed, soothed and protected, this moisturiser combats chronic discomfort, redness and sensitivity to ensure skin glows with renewed health and stays looking younger for longer.
This overnight cream sensation helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while also exfoliating to smooth and brighten your skin.
Specially formulated to impart radiance into skin every morning, Aurabsolu Intense Glow Awakening Cream is a lightweight yet deeply moisturising day cream.
£50 £34.65
This soothing moisturiser is a godsend for those suffering from combination skin and keeps your pores unclogged and contains anti-inflammatory ingredients.
Both prevention and 'cure', Emma Hardie's Amazing Face Age Support Treatment Cream helps reverse existing signs of cellular 'slow down', whist providing protection from the damaging effects of environmental aggressors.
This lightweight, easily absorbed facial moisturiser protects and locks in moisture for all-day hydration, to leave skin feeling fresh, silky-soft and looking more radiant.
This dermatologist-developed formula combines all-day protection with skin-strengthening ingredients to soothe even the driest skins.

Perhaps it's because I'm a free-speech advocate. Perhaps it's because I think we ought to talk about our problems, not sweep them under the rug. But I cringe when I hear that a public school has banned or restricted access to a book.
It happened earlier this summer in neighboring Wake County, where East Wake High School removed Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye" from reading lists. Also, the school required any teacher using Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" to assign it as alternative reading. That means a student doesn't have to read the book if his parents object.
The high school acted after a parent complained that the novels contain objectionable material, including depictions of rape. I agree that rape is a horrifying subject, but it happens, even on the college campuses where many East Wake parents will send their daughters.
So doesn't it make more sense to talk about rape in a classroom setting, with an adult leading the discussion? Sebastian Shipp, a principal at East Wake, thinks so. "It's much more preferable to have these challenging works of literature discussed in the classroom where you can have an experienced educator to lead discussions," he told The News & Observer.
Instead, the Wake County high school will leave "The Bluest Eye" and "The Color Purple" on its library shelves. That means students can read them but not discuss them with an adult. And all because a parent complained. I don't get it.
By the way, the Johnston County Board of Education has, on occasion, done East Wake High School one better, not only removing books from classrooms but also from library shelves. Like East Wake, our school board acted after a parent complained. Again, I wonder how it's possible for one parent to make policy for a whole school or school system.
No academic freedom?
The book ban at a Wake County high school made me think too about teacher tenure and the protections it's supposed to afford.
Tenure in this country was born partly to protect teachers from arbitrary dismissal. As the N.C. School Boards Association noted recently in a position paper on tenure, teachers in the late 19th century found themselves being fired for a number of wrong reasons, including "administrators playing favorites" and "powerful parents objecting to their child receiving poor grades." Other reasons spoke to a teacher's right to teach as he or she saw fit. School boards were dismissing teachers because they objected to "a teacher's lessons plans, teaching method or viewpoint," the School Boards Association noted.
That was more than a hundred years ago. Teacher tenure didn't arrive in North Carolina until 1971, and for better or worse, it doesn't give teachers the right to teach as they see fit. The Wake County book ban is proof of that: Teachers were using a couple of books, but now they can't because a parent complained and the school's administration sided with the parent.
I'm not sure what I think about that. On the one hand, I think schools should guarantee their teachers some freedom; after all, they're the ones with degrees in education, which suggests they have a clue about what they're doing.
On the other hand, it's my child – and my tax money – in that classroom, and I'd like to think I have the right to have a say in what goes on in that classroom. I also wonder, in a state with a top-down curriculum, how much academic freedom teachers really need.
But what's the point of tenure if it doesn't guarantee a teacher academic freedom, doesn't protect her from a principal or school board overruling her "lesson plans, teaching method or viewpoint"?
In North Carolina over the past couple of years, much has been made about tenure. I wish academic freedom was part of the debate.
A housekeeping matter
I need your help in making sure your news gets in the paper when you need it to.
That happens most of the time, with notices of church barbecues and Kiwanis Club pancake suppers arriving in plenty of time to make a print edition or two. But on some occasions, the announcement arrives too late. That happened recently, when notice of a church yard sale scheduled for that Saturday arrived in my in-box on that Tuesday, a day after we had put our Wednesday paper to bed.
When that happens, we can put the announcement on our website and on our Facebook page, but the church, civic club or what-have-you misses the wide distribution of our print edition.
So do me a favor: Email your announcement at least two weeks in advance – three is preferable – so we can get it into the paper at least a couple of times before the event. I'd appreciate it, because I welcome your news and want to get it into the paper. That email address, by the way, is email@example.com.

Marching for Science
I've mentioned here and on my instagram about my day job. I am a neuroscientist. I study and research different proteins and drugs to help find cure for neuro degenerative diseases. Diseases such as Alzheimer's and MS. I work with patients and their families as they go through clinical trials which can possibly save them. In addition, I'm a paramedic. I spend 12-24hr shifts working hard to ensure the best medical care I can give is given to my patients. I help treat their high blood pressure in the hospital, impending heart attack at home and, even help deliver their babies on i95. It's my job, but it's also my passion and my dream. I love what I do for a living. I love helping others. I love looking at proteins under microscopes and studying pathology. I love learning everything I can about science.
So when our new administration, spoke out against people like me. Against all the scientific advances and work we do every single day. I was upset and offended. I hated hearing the term 'alternative facts'. The research I do is not alternative. It's not fake. I put in all of my blood, sweat and, literal tear into it. I replicate it. Study it further. And I get it peer reviewed over and over. Scientists don't spew BS because they're bored. They tell you things after years of studying. We live in a factual environment.
I was even more offended when the new administration decided to cut $5.8 billion from healthcare and medical research funding. This doesn't only hurt me. This hurts everyone. Everyone who knows someone who had cancer, everyone suffering from a genetic disease, everyone who has asthma, and even everyone suffering from pollen allergies.
And because marching is the new brunching, my amazing science loving colleagues and peers went to the streets on Saturday and marched in the pouring rain. April Showers right? I heard so many amazing and gifted scientists speak about their passions. Urging Congress and our president to listen and not cut our funding. My favorite part of the day was hearing Bille Nye speak. He's been a childhood hero of mine and to be able to hear him speak so passionately about my passions it was just a dream.
I hope everyone had a lovely Earth day and remember, our Earth can not survive or succeed without the help and innovation of others. So when a scientist who spent their career studying climate change or nutrition or anything else tells you the expert facts. It's best to believe them!
Defend Science!

I know, I'm fucking awful. These poor PR folks have supported Maxumi through thick and thin. Since becoming another 9-5er, I've really struggled to devote the same time to the site. Coupled with not hearing anything from any of my contributors for at least two months, and huge technical issues for Maxumi, it was becoming all too easy to just…leave it.
So I apologise, and I promise that I will spend more time on the site, and less time shooting shit up on Bad Company 2, my favourite game. And, here to celebrate, albeit a month after I was asked to post it up (d'oh!) is a stunning guest mix by Nick Tcherniak & Steve Thomas.
The other good news is the technical issues seem to have abated – for now. I would like to keep on top of things however – so if you experience any errors or problems, please, please get in contact. Screenshot it and send it my way. Thank you – and enjoy!

Eliza doesn't sound like Katherine Kellgren!
What did you like most about Odalisque?
Love the Baroque Cycle and Simon Prebble's narration of it. Tolerated Kevin Pariseau's curious phrasing of the quotes at the beginnings of each chapter, but really didn't like Katherine Kellgren's interpretation of Eliza - she doesn't match my 'picture' of Eliza at all; on audible.com someone wrote she was 'too arch; too prissy' and I have to say I agree...

Book three and it is under your skin by now
I just never tire of listening to this entire series. I loved Neal Stephenson's Sci-Fi and was unsure about starting on this epic series but I must have listened the whole thing through 3 times now and it just never gets tired. The ways the story runs take a little getting used to but once you are in the swing it is an absolute joy. Do the whole set. Wonderful

Imp of the Perverse Embodied in Brilliant Fiction
This series must be contemplated as a unified whole. This review is for the entire BAROQUE CYCLE.
Sorry Neal, I was wrong. For me Neal Stephenson was a bit of an acquired taste. My first Stephenson exposure was with SNOWCRASH, a zany over-the-top Sci-Fi farce with quirky characters, tight plotting and fascinating ideas—try an ancient software virus in the human brain. My next Neal Stephenson encounter was THE DIAMOND AGE and this was for years my last. It was not until revisiting SNOWCRASH now as an audiobook (narrated by the superb Jonathan Davis) that I realized that anyone able to reach such dizzying fictional heights once deserves more than one strike. It was after this that I listened to ANATHEM; strike two. But there was one more title that had received acclaim that I first had to tackle before relegating Stephenson to one-hit-wonder status: CRYPTONOMICON. This was a home run; different from SNOWCRASH in almost every way but still wonderful, and really long. From this I learned three things: (1) Stephenson was not easy to pigeon-hole; and (2) He could handle fictional works in the long form; and (3) If you are not preoccupied with plot advancement, the rabbit trails can be quite scenic. So, once I learned that many of the characters in CRYPTONOMICON had ancestors in THE BAROQUE CYCLE, I determined to tackle the whole lot back-to-back, as if it were one giant novel. QUICKSILVER is the first audio installment of THE BAROQUE CYCLE, which is here divided into seven installments. In print form it is broken into eight books published in three hefty volumes.
I could tell from the comments of other listeners that this huge tome is not for everyone. If you require fast tight plotting, this may not be for you. If you enjoy witty repartee between vagabonds, kings, courtiers and thieves then this may be the mother lode. I liken Neal Stephenson to Gene Wolfe; another writer who can keep my interest just by the brilliance of his prose. It was in the middle of ODALISQUE, book three in the cycle, that I realized I didn't much care that the plot was just creeping along, and that side trips to follow the numerous cast of characters kept taking me away from the one I liked best. I was enjoying the show and didn't want it to end. This is truly not seven different novels, but one huge novel tied together by recurring characters and one vast and very satisfying story arc.
This accomplishment by Neal Stevenson is just the thing that the term magnum opus was coined for. Mr. Stevenson demonstrates his ability to manage a vast narrative alternate history and retains his focus over two-thousand six-hundred eighty-eight hardcover pages, through one-hundred fourteen hours of audiobook narration; yet the feel and texture and pacing is consistent throughout the entire work. Amazing. If you decide to tackle this tome you will be rewarded. It may cause you to rethink the whole audiobook medium.
I really enjoyed Stephenson's insights into the politics of the scientific community, revolving around Isaac Newton. The fusing of Natural Philosophy (science), Alchemy, commodity-based monetary theory, rags-to-riches character transformations, and court intrigue make for a fascinating experience. Listening to this series is like taking a time-travel vacation to the eighteenth century. The shabby, muddy, miasmic grunge of the period's living conditions sometimes remind me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Jabberwocky, with associated punch-lines. This is a very different world from the one we live in but I began to think I might understand it a little better and found that, in some ways, it might not be so bad.
If you are at all interested in free-market economics, and commodity-based monetary theory then one of the long-term story arcs will be of intense interest to you. Stevenson explores the impact of the foundation of the central Bank of England upon the flow of gold. And his deft insertion of an Alchemical component into the mix creates an enjoyable element of mystery. This is the storyline that required one-hundred hours to tell.
This is a Science Fiction work because the alternate-history angle with Alchemy infecting the realm of science will appeal to the SF fan. If you were provided with a plot outline or given some character sketches you may think this an historical novel, and it could be read from that perspective. But Science Fiction readers don't as a rule read historical novels, but they will read this, therefore, whatever qualities it possesses, justify the SF label.
Predestination versus Free-Will is on everyone's mind
The debate between Protestantism versus Catholicism had a huge political impact
Geocentrism versus Heliocentrism is the only thing everyone can agree upon
Commodity-based Monetary theory makes the world work
Court Intrigue and witty conversations provide joy in every circumstance
Meritocracy rags-to-riches stories abound
People can endure much if they have hope
Vagabond underworld versus Persons of Quality show we have much in common
Alchemy counterpoised with Natural Philosophy revel the nature of science
Encryption and secret writing have long been employed
True love makes life worth living
Courtly liaisons show the shallowness of the ruling class to whom society is entrusted
Simon Prebble does yeoman's work on this production. To my ear he nailed every single pronunciation of every word in the course of over one-hundred hours of narration—no mean feat. His character voicings are subtle but immediately recognizable. His talent allows him to even give convincing alternate pronunciations of words to the different characters that are appropriate to their individual personalities. The more foppish English characters habitually emphasize different syllables than the lower class characters. Despite the deep quality of his voice Simon Prebble handles both male and female character voices convincingly. His voice has a limited range but I was constantly amazed at how he could make subtle alterations in inflection, diction and pacing to effectively distinguish the various characters in a conversation. Simon Prebble achieves the desirable state of occupying the place in your head usually reserved for your own internal sub-vocalizations when you are reading a print book to yourself. This is a high achievement indeed and makes this a soothing book experience.

Great book
I found the addition of Katherine Kellgren as Eliza in the third book a little jarring, after having gotten used to Simon Prebble doing Eliza's voice in the two previous books (and doing a seamless job of it, too.)
Kellgren's Eliza is a touch too arch, too insufferably prissy; not how I imagined Eliza to be. It makes the numerous readings of Eliza's correspondence in this book three of the cycle seem interminable. This stands out because, though this is a ridiculously long work, I rarely lose patience with its length - and I remember reading through the correspondence sections of the third book without any impatience or sense of 'slogging through'.
I think her voice is just a bit too much, like trying to make an entire meal of lemon bars. Makes you long for plain bread. I'm hoping this effect lessens as the books go on.

What do you do when one of the most respected chefs in the world invites you into his new restaurant for dinner? You do what the Tavernita team did and cancel all other plans to dine at Tickets in Barcelona; Albert Adria's new concept.
But let's back up a bit- back to March when our plans to tour three cities in Spain for our research were finally set. The first spot I attempted to make a reservation for was Tickets- which was booked. Since the cocktail gurus The Tippling Brothers are part of our crew- we had no problem settling for 41 Degrees (the adjacent cocktail lounge also by Adria). That was until we arrived during a downpour and caught a glimpse of what we'd be missing as the host- dressed like a circus conductor walked us thru Tickets to get to 41 Degrees.
The restaurant entrance looked like an old time theater combined a Carnival or Circ de Soleil. Alfredo Sandoval (my partner at Tavernita) tried reassuring me as we sat at the 41 Degrees bar; "We will have to go to Tickets next time." Which was the equivalent of telling a little kid leaving the super market; 'We can play video games and get a gumball "next time"'.
But I quickly perked up as we sampled the creative cocktails and chatted up the friendly mixologists, and we mentioned that were here from Chicago on a restaurant research trip. Soon, Albert himself emerged from the back- the message had been delivered and he had come over to meet this group including the Chicago chefs. We chatted about my time in Spain, as well as Tavernita and he asked what time our reservation at Tickets was for- and I was jokingly telling him about how we couldn't get in. He apologized and said things have been crazy with the opening, and booked solid for 3 months strait.
His kindness and lack of ego bummed me out even more that I couldn't try his food- but not ten minuets passed when Chef emerged again and said: "I have a table for you at Tickets, you can sit down when ever you like, it would be our pleasure to have you." It took me a few seconds to make the translation in my head, and ran it back a few times to make sure I understood correctly- one of the greatest chefs in the world had just invited us to dinner.
In a shocked state the group of 10 walked into the "Circus like restaurant" and sat down, looking around and snapping photos. Albert came to welcome our table and requested to do a special tasting menu- inquiring about dietary restrictions.
We ordered the house beer that Albert and brother Ferran created and our adventure of Tickets began with our first course.
To be continued…

The Zeros is a wanzer model that appeared in Front Mission 3. It is produced by the Jade Metal-Lyman of O.C.U. Australia.
The Zeros has strong armour and mobility, along with poor output, implying that it can't hold heavy weapons like missiles and grenade launchers. However, it would probably be as an excellent melee wanzer. It is available in many wanzer shops, yet it has never been seen deployed by any formal military units. This may be due to its physical appearance, which will probably be more appealing to youngsters and arena combatats, although it was not explicitly stated if the model is specifically designed for such purposes.
The website of the Jade Metal-Lyman stated that it is the first wanzer model to be installed with the "XL-2000 generator" developed by the coorporation.
- Unknown
- Zeros (Front Mission 3)
Known PilotsEdit
- Pham Luis (Zeros), Front Mission 3
- Zeros is one of the few wanzer models that has never been seen under anyone except a single character, not even unnamed pilots (Pham Luis in this case).
- In Front Mission 3, battle skills are learnt by equipping specific wanzer parts. When equipped, Zeros gave Enemy Evade I (Body), Shield Attack I (Arms), and Initiative II (Legs).

Bringing a renewable-energy innovation to life presents a dual challenge: there's the engineering side of it, and the business side of it. Recognizing this, the Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET) is working with Portland State University to match up wave power start ups and MBA students.
OWET is a nonprofit group, aided by the state-funded Oregon Innovation Council, that sees wave energy as a key part of a comprehensive alternative energy solution for Oregon, and is pushing public-private collaboration to get wave energy projects in the water. Executive Director Jason Busch told Sustainable Business Oregon the Oregon Wave Energy Commercialization Program answers a need a lot of start ups have.
"Many of the entrepreneurs we work with are engineers," Busch said. "Recently I talked to an engineer from Google who came up with a wave-energy device. He's tested it out at a small scale, but he doesn't know anything about forming a business or developing a business plan or financing. We wanted to provide some early services."
On the flip side, Portland State sees the program as a chance for its MBA students – many of whom are interested in alternative energy development, and wave energy in particular – to get real-world experience in the nascent industry. In the program, the business students will develop business and marketing plans, review strategies, perform financial analysis and modeling, conduct regulatory reviews … all the things MBAs do for businesses.
The program is getting started at Portland State, but Busch told Sustainable Business Oregon that OWET hopes to broaden it to bring in engineers at Oregon Institute of Technology and Oregon State University, as well as law students at the University of Oregon.

Coral reef conservation project with children
Marine National Park Bunaken, Sulawesi, Indonesia
In Indonesia, the largest archipelago on Earth, the ocean is the single most important resource on which many people's lives depend. But human beings pose an ever-growing threat to mangrove forests, eelgrass meadows and coral reefs.
Bunaken National Park
Bunaken National Park (BNP) is a protected marine reserve on the coast of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The National Park covers almost 900 square kilometres, 97 per cent of which is covered by ocean. It also includes the five islands of Bunaken, Manado Tua, Mantehage, Nain and Siladen. Due to its unique geological formations, the diversity of its fish fauna, corals and mangroves and the occurrence of rare species, the area was placed under protection in 1991. Before this it had already been designated a regional protected area, but without the benefit of local institutions to coordinate its administration. In 1996, a 25-year management plan was published. To implement it, the Indonesian government appointed a national park administration and assigned park rangers. Some 30,000 people live in 22 villages within the area covered by the National Park. Most are dependent on its natural resources.
ThinkBlue e.V.
'ThinkBlue e.V.' is an association which has embraced the mission of making young people more familiar with the fascinating habitat of the ocean. Since 2002 it has maintained close links with the Bunaken National Marine Park in Indonesia.
Following several extended visits to the Bunaken National Marine Park, it became clear that environmental education with children had not yet received the attention it deserved. This gave rise to the idea of setting up a coral reef conservation programme involving children. Starting from September 2005, a one-year coral reef conservation programme for children will be launched at the new National Park Education Centre.
Project weeks
For a week at a time, classes and their teachers from islands around the Bunaken National Marine Park will be invited to the Education Centre at Pantai Liang to take part in a project week. The aim is to show the children that mangrove forests, eelgrass meadows and coral reefs are parts of an overall ecosystem, each part depending on the others – just as human beings are a part of their living environment and need it to remain intact.
The children are not taught to obey a list of prohibitive rules, but are sensitised to their environment by encountering nature in enjoyable ways. Work is not confined to theoretical lessons in the Education Centre: a better way to realise the uniqueness of the environment is through direct experience. The surroundings of the Education Centre are ideal for this purpose: it has mangroves, eelgrass meadows and coral reefs virtually on its doorstep.
They make their own booklets containing all the information they gather during the week. At the end of the week, these can be taken home. The workbooks are important for two reasons: for the children, they are a memento of an unforgettable week, but they are also a means of multiplying knowledge since parents, brothers, sisters and relatives often look through them too.
In a game called 'Build an Island', the children use sand to build the most stable island they can, knowing that it needs to be protected from waves. This demonstrates to the children exactly what happens if no stabilising materials are used: the sand island simply disintegrates. Such a realistic game vividly illustrates the protective effect of the mangrove forests. Another activity which stimulates the children's interest is the identification of mangrove species or organisms living in eelgrass meadows or coral reefs.
The absolute high-point has to be snorkelling in groups over the coral reef. In small groups the children have the opportunity to marvel at this fascinating underwater world, often for the first time in their lives.
Painting on large canvases gives children an opportunity to process what they have seen. The Education Centre regularly puts the resulting pictures on display, to inform Indonesian day-visitors to Bunaken National Marine Park about these activities and to arouse interest in what the children are being taught. Other exhibitions on particular themes are also planned.
During the project week, pupils and teachers sleep in the Centre's adjoining dormitory.
Special importance is attached to getting teachers fully involved in the project. They are given encouragement to integrate environmental education into their teaching. By way of support, every teacher accompanying a class is provided with a pack of teaching materials to inspire ongoing work. Also, special workshops are held both for teachers and for students at Manado University.
The goal is to integrate environmental education into existing structures as far as possible, to enable it to carry on even after the programme has ended.
Cooperation with other organisations
The association 'ThinkBlue e.V.' works closely with the Bunaken National Marine Park forum (DPTNB; Dewan Pengelolaan Taman Nasional Bunaken). Beyond this, it maintains relationships with the University of Manado (UNSRAT), with teachers and the local population. In addition, the coral reef conservation programme with children is an element of the SPICE project (Science for the Protection of Indonesian Coastal Marine Ecosystems), a coordinating body of the University of Bremen's Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) which ensures communication between different projects in Indonesia dedicated to the exploration and protection of marine ecosystems. Cooperation with these organisations is an important means of disseminating new ideas and successful projects, and ensuring that lessons are learned from mistakes as well as positive achievements.

In December 2016 Houston native Donnie Houston started NDSTRY NGHT after spending time living in Atlanta and taking heed of the actions their music community takes to stay relevant in the industry and continue to put out new, successful artists. The weekly, open forum event aims to create a legitimate platform for up and coming artists.
Donnie Houston, Jett I Masttyr, Marcus Roquemore and most recently, Paul Wall have come together to provide a space (located at Trahan's Wings & Daiquiris - 3991 S. Gessner Rd.) for artists to network, perform, get their music heard and even the chance to win a trip to perform in Atlanta, which happens to be one of the top markets in music. Currently, the event focuses on hip hop artists but anyone can come perform or get their music played at NDSTRY NGHT.
More and more artists are learning about NDSTRY NGHT and attendance is steadily growing each week. Aside from the platform the event offers, the networking opportunities are invaluable. Many artists that met at NDSTRY NGHT have started collaborating with each other and cross marketing their fan-bases, an outcome that Donnie Houston intended to happen from the beginning.
Artists, NDSTRY NGHT is for you. Take a Wednesday night, bring your music and be prepared to network. Show up early (8pm) to submit your music. Email hb
Industry folks, there is an amazing amount of talent right here in our city and NDSTRY NGHT showcases it weekly.
Fans, you may find your new favorite artist at NDSTRY NGHT.

Stream "Bandwagon" from the 25th Anniversary Edition of R.E.M.'s Fables of the Reconstruction
On July 13th, Capitol is releasing a 25th anniversary edition of R.E.M.'s album, Fables of the Reconstruction. Along with the remastered album, a 14-track CD of bonus material is included as well, with demo recordings of the album's 11 tracks plus three outtakes from the demo recording sessions. "Bandwagon" is one of those outtakes. The single disc vinyl edition contains only the remastered album tracks.
Fables of the Reconstruction was my make up album with R.E.M. As a youngster I became enamored with the band the first time I played the "Radio Free Europe" single, then R.E.M. became my first musical obsession when the Chronic Town EP came out. I remember being disappointed a bit by Murmur and Reckoning, but Fables of the Reconstruction, with its strong southern themes, drew me back into the fold.
"Bandwagon" has been remastered for this release, but can also be found on the band's b-sides and rarities compilation Dead Letter Office (which also contains the 5-track out of print Chronic Town EP, and according to iTunes is the R.E.M. album I most listen to these days).

HOLLYWOOD -- Along with the usual type of gifts, the two boys also asked for their daddy to be home for Christmas.
``Dear Santa,`` the 8-year-old`s letter began. ``I want a Pound Puppy, a laser for Christmas ... and my daddy.``
But getting Craig and Charlie Crawford`s father out of prison was the only thing that the students in the home economics classes at McArthur High School couldn`t do.
The students raised money to provide Christmas gifts and food to boys and girls whose family situation prevents a holiday celebration.
The Crawfords fit the scenario.
Geraldine Crawford, the mother of Craig, 8, and Charlie, 11, wonders how she`ll heat the food that the Hollywood Moose Lodge is bringing to her home on Christmas Day.
And she worries because she doesn`t know when she`ll have money for carfare to visit her husband at the Dade County Correctional Institute.
Her husband is serving the first year of a four-year term for possession of a firearm.
Their home in Hallandale was happy last year at this time, Craig remembered. They got presents and there was food. Aunts and cousins visited. Daddy was home, too.
This year is totally different.
``My refrigerator is shot and I don`t have a stove,`` Crawford said. ``I wasn`t planning to have a Christmas.``
However, her doctor suggested that she contact Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Fort Lauderdale, which put her touch with the students at McArthur.
``We raised money to provide them with a dream Christmas,`` said Florence Ferraro, supervisor of child care classes at McArthur. ``We want them to realize that people care.``

So, Kanye for your courage and you're creativity for inspiring the world without being scared, I'm proud to present The Visionary Award from BET Honors.
I love you

Do you mind if I put the award down? 'Cause it's like easier for me to talk, okay.
(Put it down)
[Kanye West:]
Well seeing that I think that maybe for one of the first times in my life I understand how it is to feel humbled – I want to say some thank yous really quick uh…thank God for Stephen Hill who is so sincerely good at exactly what he does and gives so much and doesn't care about what [go] somebody is driving or how big somebody's house is and brings the most awesome collection of classic, current and futuristic black music everyday so, make some noise for Stephen Hill to start with.
[Kanye West:]
So, since this is pre-taped and the fact that Adam Blackstone used to be my music director I'm uh – I'm pretty sure he's not going to start the music on me.
If I go Chicago for a second, you know. You know it was interesting when I went and visited Minister Louis Farrakhan and I just really wanted to expand so much more on the things that I've been talking about over the past couple of years. And, it was interesting or ground breaking and really special for me to see his reaction and his expression about my relationship with the woman not of color. And for us to focus on the idea of love and not the idea of separation.
You know, at the barber shop and everything I used to hear like people always talk about 'man, you know, when a – when an entertainer get on – of course, you know, he gon' go and get a white girl and all this'. But I want to say that, you know and 'the white girl gonna go get a rich black dude. And you know'. But I want to say that my wife has dated broke black dudes – you know. So it ain't got nothing to do with the money. And it takes me back to a story that she told me where her father Robert Kardashian, walked out and on the side of his Bentley they wrote, 'Nigger Lover,' because Robert Kardashian was the genius that put together the defense team that got O.J. off. She had never seen her father curse, get mad—he was the most laid-back human being and he went so crazy and tried to chase the people down. And she stood there crying and said, 'Dad, why are you going so crazy?' and she said and – he said to her, 'One day, you may have a black child. A beautiful, beautiful, beautiful black child. And it's gonna be hard. You're gonna see how hard it is.'
[Kanye West:] Source: LYBIO.net
So true enough, we deal with racism because there are different races, or the micro of it is that we focus on the different races, as opposed to the macro, which is the human race.
The bitter sound bites that everyone loved from last year that got taken out of context or misunderstood did come from a place of saying: 'Yes, part of the reason why I'm not allowed to be empowered is because of race, because of people's perception of celebrity, because all they want to present to young black men is the idea of making it to the league or making it to be a rapper, but not the idea of becoming an owner.' And they would do anything they can to make it seem like a truthful idea is a stupid idea, or a crazy idea.
Harriet Tubman said she could've freed so many more and I'm sorry mom if that was incorrect English – uh… Harriet Tubman said she could've freed more only if they knew they weren't free.
So they don't think that because we can afford this custom Balmain suit that we're free. And don't think that because we can buy a $300,000 car that we're free. And don't think that because it's three percent of a gated community has colored people in it, that we're free. It's the mentality – the slave mentality where we all eventually become slaves to that car, slaves to the perception, slaves to the idea of being cool.
