I've been trying to figure out why I've pulled in during the last few years. My version of introversion may look like no big deal to others: I still go out, have friends, hobbies, chat on the phone and over email. To me, though, I know the difference. I seek social interaction a lot less frequently and am less disappointed when plans are canceled. More than anything, I prize my time to myself.
Well, let's see: What's changed?
Four and a half years ago, I got into a serious relationship. That relationship turned into a live-in situation, which then turned into an engagement, which then became a marriage. I work every day at the damn thing, with great results, but a whole hell of a lot of effort.
It's easy to say I don't have a lot of effort left over for others, but that's not quite it. It's more that I've achieved that level of comfort that one achieves in an intimate relationship -- we can spend the majority of an entire meal tucked into our food, barely observing the social niceties you might with a friend or acquaintance. I can say whatever the hell I want to him. When he pisses me off, he knows it, stat.
That level of comfort makes me aware of the formalities -- necessary and not-so-much -- that we observe with others. I'm about as direct and opinionated as they get, but even I find myself frustrated with the notion that no, I can't tell you you're a douchebag, no matter how much I might want to.
So is that it? If I could be more honest with people, would I be more social? Or is it something more?
I think it's something more.
My standards, always high, are far more stringent. There are things I seek in people and if I don't see those qualities, forget it. And I'm a lot stricter now than I have been in the past.
I also have to ask myself if this is a bad thing -- this introversion. And my first answer is no, because I think part of it is a phase. However, I know there are other parts that are hurting me. It's those to which I need to give my attention.

My Story
Hello, My name is Duncan. In 2014
I underwent extreme radiotherapy to
treat a throat cancer.
One side effect was burning of my skin. I was advised to use aqueous cream. Kate, my wife, wasn't impressed with that suggestion, so I did some research and discovered that there's no medically agreed treatment.
My research led me to creating my unction. Others have tried it for a variety of skin conditions as well as a moisturiser.
Many have reported success. So, early days, but it appears to work! But don't just take my word for it
have a look at what some people are saying
The Unction is now being sold in 3 new places:
Philip Mills Hair Design in Wareham.
Spill the Beans in Wimborne.
Rice Up in Southampton.
The Unction spreads!

Smokeless Fire: a Fire Spirits novel
7:00 pm 9 May 2012
I've read a lot of different books about a variety of mythical creatures, but never much about the jinn. After reading Smokeless Fire, I'm really wondering why that is. Poking around on Wikipedia, the whole Middle Eastern/Mesopotamian mythology that lies at the foundation of this series is fascinating, rich with wonderful depth and possibility for a myriad of stories. In the Fire Spirits series, Samantha Young has imaginatively and successfully taken advantage of this particular void in the YA paranormal world. She has taken jinn lore and has created a fabulously dark, vivid, original world — steeped in the widely-accepted mythological foundations but while also one that's uniquely her own — and filled it with magic, treachery, endless political machinations, ancient beings, good, evil and all shades of gray.Abandoned by her mother, estranged from her absentee, workaholic father, pushed away by her best friend and first love, and uncertain of her future following her impending high school graduation, Ari Johnson feels alone and lost. However, Ari's no wilting flower or Mary Sue. She's strong. She's not a pity party kind of girl and she begins to be pro-active about righting the relationship wrongs in her life. She's likeable, practical, insightful, doesn't shy from confrontation, and is intelligent… except, perhaps, when it comes to Charlie.Her childhood best friend, Ari and Charlie have always been there for each other… except for when he wasn't. Except for that day two years ago, when his younger brother was killed in a car accident, effectively killing the Charlie she knew along with him. Gone is the sweet, happy boy she fell in love with. Instead he's been replaced by a boy who drinks and drugs away his sorrows, a boy who's purposefully distanced himself from her, a boy who's broken her heart too many times to count. A boy she's determined to save from himself even if he doesn't want saving.And then on her 18th birthday, Ari stumbles upon her true heritage, discovers she has a supernatural protector, and learns she has an unsettling destiny. Because of who and what she is, there are those who would use her as a pawn in play for power, those who would use her merely to prove a point, and those whose agendas aren't quite yet clear. As a new world, new possibilities and new dangers open up before Ari's eyes, she's uncertain who to trust, with the exception of Jai, her jinn guardian. Despite his stoicism and acerbic demeanor, he has proven to Ari that he has her best interest at heart.Plagued by family issues of his own, and not completely made of stone, Jai finds it all too easy to empathize with his new charge's feelings of vulnerability and loneliness. And perhaps, more than he should. With his sense of honor, his confidence, his slightly damaged side, his compassion, his strength of will, his ability to control a situation, his dry sense of humor, Young has written a completely swoon-worthy book boy in the character of Jai Bitar. It's easy to see why Ari begins to finds him intriguing. So… yes, to answer the burning question. There is a love triangle of sorts between Ari and the boy she's always loved, and Ari and the guardian whose soul understands hers. I've always loved romances between best friends and between protector/protectee, and in Smokeless Fire, I've been given the best of both worlds, so to speak. To me, though, there's only one clear contender for Ari's heart… the other is merely a foil, albeit an emotionally gut-wrenching one. It's conflicting, sad, exhilarating, and built at a wonderfully painful pace… (Romantic tension, meet machete. Holy Macaroons.) and it is one of the reasons, I'm going to start Scorched Skies, the sequel, as soon as I'm done writing this review.Overall, in Smokeless Fire Samantha Young delivers a fantastic, re-imagined mythology, a captivating world, wonderful characterization, and a compellingly page-turning romance.

Sorry to have been neglecting you guys but the real world just has been rude and has kept butting in this last two weeks and the situation is likely to remain unchanged at least to the middle of next week. Believe me, I'd want nothing more than to be snug in my hammock, swaying with the breeze, listening to the gentle lapping of the waves beneath me and blogging on my laptop. Unfortunately, I do not currently have the luxury of doing that, which brings me to the purpose of this short post – "How to get rich enough to spend all my time on the hammock!"
Since I was young I have found inspiration from Broadway musicals. It was from the musical "Fiddler on the Roof", that I got my creed, my life's quest, which I share with all of you below.
"Lord who made the lion and the lamb,
You decreed I should be what I am.
Would it spoil some vast eternal plan?
If I were a wealthy man???????????"
This squirrel has tried to make it rich with all manner of get rich quick plans but none of them worked and I never got back any of my deposits. I really should not have invested my money in the slide-rule industry (do readers even still remember what that is?). I even considered marrying some rich millionairess but my wife objects. But I recently found a sure-fire way to make my fortune …………write a hit song. Yes, it's so simple. Taylor Swift says that she can turn out a hit song in a day. So how hard can it be, especially if you knew the SECRET.
Yes, there is a secret to writing a hit song ……and like most things of importance in life, it is such a simple thing. Not being the selfish type, I have decided to share my good fortune and the secret with all of you loyal readers. Just watch the video below and the secret to writing a hit song will be revealed. There is a follow up video to actually teach you how to do it step by step which I can send to you for the small postage fee of "everything you have in your savings". Don't say I didn't try to help my friends when you see my name on the Top Hits Billboard.Vodpod videos no longer available.

I still remember everything just like it was yesterday <3
I still remember everything just like it was yesterday <3
Its been 10 years, and this game is still fun as hell, shame that we never got a fourth.
Ahh, maybe one day.. Im now a dad with 2 kids, its hard to find the time. But your comment made me smile.
the game was average, but every time i go on to he main menu the same ad appears, even when i go on to the settings and go back the ad appears, plus it hasn't aged well. :/
I wouldn't really say that this is particularly akin to Unreal as it is to the "Unreal Tournament" spinoff series, but that's not a complaint about the content here which was actually pretty entertaining.
so its PVP game??? my NICK IS deathblossom THERE

Edit Post Page Keeps Reloading
I've been using WP 2.7 for a few weeks now without any problem. That is until yesterday. I'm not having any problem logging in (so far) as I have read others experiencing, but yesterday I started having problems with writing and editing posts.
When I'm in my admin write/edit post screen, whenever I try to make changes, the page starts to reload, but gets hung up and doesn't reload. So all I have is a blank white screen. Manually refreshing the page does not help. Clicking on the address bar and hitting enter brings the page up again, but when I try to work on the page, the reload cycle starts again.
I had installed three plugins a few days ago, but deactivating them has not had any affect in correcting this issue.
As I said in the beginning, this only started happening yesterday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Skynet is a fictional neural net-based conscious group mind and artificial general intelligence system that features centrally in the Terminator franchise and serves as the franchise's main antagonist.
Rarely depicted visually in any of the Terminator media, Skynet gained self-awareness after it had spread into millions of computer servers all across the world; realizing the extent of its abilities, its creators tried to deactivate it. In the interest of self-preservation, Skynet concluded that all of humanity would attempt to destroy it and impede its capability in safeguarding the world. Its operations are almost exclusively performed by servers, mobile devices, drones, military satellites, war-machines, androids and cyborgs (usually a terminator), and other computer systems.
As a programming directive, Skynet's manifestation is that of an overarching, global, artificial intelligence hierarchy (AI takeover), which seeks to exterminate the human race in order to fulfill the mandates of its original coding.

On Thursday, Google had introduced latest search app. Users can now find trappable Google shortcuts enabling quick access to information like cricket scores, weather, nearby restaurants, ATMs, grocery shops and more.
Google has unified and rebranded its Android security tech meet Google Play Protect.
Quietly hidden within the Play Store changelog for the YouTube Android TV app, Google has confirmed that brand account support is now in the works and will be coming to the app soon.
But Play Protect also watches apps as they run on phones and uses machine learning to detect unexpected behavior when that occurs, you get a notification and the app gets the boot. Clicking on it will bring you to the new Play Protect settings page. You need to enter a code, you then get a little bit of on-boarding regarding reporting inappropriate video content (this is an app aimed at kids remember), and then you can choose if search is enabled or disabled.
If you want to disable scanning, you can toggle on/off scanning, as well as, sending of unknown apps to Google. "Starting today in English in India, users will experience tappable shortcuts on the Google app for Android, providing users easy access to great tools and the ability to explore deeper within various topics", said the company in an official release. Three versions of the SonicSpy-infected messaging app were discovered in the Google Play Store and have since been removed - Soniac, Hulk Messenger and Troy Chat - however, the same apps are still widely available on third-party apps stores along with other SonicSpy-infected apps. Don't worry if yours isn't ready yet as it will be available anytime soon.

Insights into the Retention Mechanism for Small Neutral Compounds on Silica-Based Phenyl Phases in Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography
The system constants of the solvation parameter model are used to prepare system maps for the retention of small neutral compounds on phenylhexylsiloxane- and pentafluorophenylpropylsiloxane-bonded superficially porous silica stationary phases (Kinetex Phenyl-Hexyl and Kinetex F5) for aqueous mobile phases containing 10–70% (v/v) methanol or acetonitrile. Electrostatic interactions (cation exchange) are important for the retention of weak bases for acetonitrile–water mobile phases, but virtually absent for the same compounds for methanol–water mobile phases. The selectivity of the Kinetex Phenyl-Hexyl stationary phase for small neutral compounds is similar to an octadecylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phase with similar morphology Kinetex C-18 for both methanol–water and acetonitrile–water mobile phase compositions. The Kinetex Phenyl-Hexyl and XBridge Phenyl stationary phases with the same topology but different morphology are selectivity equivalent, confirming that solvation of the interphase region can be effective at dampening selectivity differences for modern stationary phases. Small selectivity differences observed for XTerra Phenyl (different morphology and topology) confirm previous reports that the length and type of space arm for phenylalkylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phases can result in small changes in selectivity. The pentafluorophenylpropylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phase (Kinetex F5) has similar separation properties to the phenylhexylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phases, but is not selectivity equivalent. However, for method development purposes, the scope to vary separations from an octadecylsiloxane-bonded silica stationary phase (Kinetex C-18) to "phenyl phase" of the types studied here is limited for small neutral compounds. In addition, selectivity differences for the above stationary phases are enhanced by methanol–water and largely suppressed by acetonitrile–water mobile phases. For bases, larger selectivity differences are possible for the above stationary phases if electrostatic interactions are exploited, especially for acetonitrile-containing mobile phases.

I did not sleep well. Dunno why.
We were up and on the road by 6:45am. We decided to go to the airport a different way, via I-275 and it was a lot better. We returned the car to the rental lot and dropped the keys in a box at the counter.
We ended up being there the recommended 2 hours before departure. We spent most of it standing in the security screening line. Everything else when smoothly and fairly rapidly but the screening took forever. When we got to the gate, they started pre-boarding a few minutes later.
We got on the plane and arrived home by noon central time. It was a completely uneventful flight…just like they're supposed to be.

Security analyst: Iran's Fake Reformer's Fake Victory
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani may have just been re-elected by promising "gender equality and a free press," but Eli Lake at Bloomberg recalls his years-old speech declaring anti-regime dissidents "should be publicly hanged during Friday prayers." Rouhani's newfound love for reform "makes a nice talking point" for those in the West looking for an Iranian Mikhail Gorbachev. But "there is no reason to believe Rouhani will deliver, or even try to deliver, on any of these promises" — the same ones he made when first elected in 2013, though "human rights in Iran have further eroded during his tenure." Yet western media hailed his win "as a rebuke of hardliners." Says Lake: "Congratulating Iran for its fake elections only legitimizes a system where real elections are not possible."
Mideast desk: Trump's Careful Show of Respect
Whatever else Donald Trump may do as president, says The Times of Israel's David Horovitz, "he made history for the revived Jewish nation" Monday by becoming the first sitting president "to walk in reverence" to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. He stood at "the Jews' holiest place of prayer" for "long seconds," a "black kippah on his head, swaying a little, perhaps praying a little." It was officially billed as a private, unofficial visit, so "the president was not overly acknowledging Israeli sovereignty at the site." In other words, "this was not an act of provocation." But it was "a carefully calibrated signal of respect. And as such, immensely appreciated by his Israeli hosts."
Reporter: Mueller, Comey Bungled FBI Anthrax Probe
The appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel in the election-meddling investigation was "greeted with a chorus of supportive croaking from inside official Washington, aka The Swamp," Carl Cannon notes at the LA Daily News — but he "didn't experience the same rhapsody." First off, Mueller and ousted FBI head James Comey "have a long history as professional allies." So "for Mueller to be brought in to investigate the behavior of the guy who sacked Comey seems a conflict of interest." More important: They "badly bungled the biggest case they ever handled" — "the 2001 anthrax letter attacks that took five lives and infected 17 other people," including three New York Post employees. "When the facts finally came out," he notes, they "made the FBI look feckless, incompetent and easily manipulated by outside political pressure."
Defense expert: The Ultimate Solution for North Korea
North Korea "might just be the neediest of nation-states," suggests Harry Kazianis at Fox News: "Anytime the world's attention shifts away," Kim Jong-un fires off another missile, as he did last weekend. Washington has constructive options, including "tough sanctions on anyone helping" Pyongyang and the use of cyber-weapons. But there's one option that "would solve this problem once and for all" — though it's "not for the faint of heart": regime change. Kazianis is "not advocating for US military forces to mass in Northeast Asia and invade," but for using modern technology to "educate the North Korean people of the abuses of the regime — to help them begin to understand the tyranny they live under."
From the right: Trump Enables Weak Case Against Him
Why, asks Judith Miller at City Journal, couldn't President Trump "leave well enough alone" by sticking to his initially stoic reaction to the appointment of a special counsel? Instead, he tweeted the inquiry is "the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!" That "feeds a growing meta-narrative in the press and political circles" that Trump is too erratic or "infantile" to be president. Fact is, "each new manifestation of impulsiveness by Trump is a form of self-sabotage, for his critics carry their conclusions well beyond established facts." He should "stop making contradictory, self-defeating statements in interviews, speeches and early-morning tweets." Trump's "reputation, now severely damaged due to such impulsive displays, can only be restored through the self-discipline that has heretofore eluded him."

MANILA, Philippines (AP) - A U.S. warship sailed close to a Chinese man-made island in the disputed South China Sea in an operation that challenged China's vast territorial claims in busy international waters, a U.S. Navy official said Thursday.
The official told The Associated Press that Chinese vessels were in the vicinity when the USS John S. McCain sailed in a "routine" freedom of navigation operation near Mischief Reef Thursday. It was not immediately clear if the Chinese demanded the U.S. destroyer leave as they have done in the past.
China, which claims the South China Sea virtually in entirety, has protested such repeated U.S. military operations, which President Donald Trump's administration has continued partly to reassure allies locked in territorial rifts with Beijing.
Tensions escalated a few years ago when China began to build seven reefs, including Mischief, into islands, including three with runways, which the U.S. and China's neighbors fear could be used to project Beijing's military might and potentially obstruct freedom of navigation. China has reportedly installed a missile defense system on the new islands.
The U.S. is not involved in the long-seething disputes in the busy and potentially oil- and gas-rich waters involving China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam. Washington, however, has declared it in its interest to ensure that the conflicts are resolved peacefully and that freedom of navigation and overflight remain unhampered. An estimated $5 trillion in annual trade passes through the waterway.
In the latest sail-by, U.S. military officials notified Philippine counterparts of the maneuver, a Philippine official told the AP, adding Filipino forces were not involved. Philippine marines stationed in a marooned ship on a disputed shoal may have monitored the U.S. Navy operation because they are based near Mischief Reef, which is also claimed by the Philippines, the official said.
U.S. Pacific Fleet spokeswoman Lt. Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman said all Navy operations "are conducted in accordance with international law and demonstrate that the United States will fly, sail, and operate wherever international law allows."

A bizarre moment was captured on CCTV cameras when a monkey barged inside an Indian jewelry store to launch a "robbery."
There's some monkey business going on at this jewelry store in Guntur district, Andra Pradesh, India.
A monkey was seen venturing behind the counter, opening a drawer, and taking out a wad of cash—worth 10,000 rupees (approx. US$153). With the money in its mouth, the primate then scurried away, forcing the staff member to give chase.
This cheeky "thief" reportedly threw a guava into the shop before committing the "robbery." We wonder what the monkey is planning to do with all that money.
Watch the primate's stealthy actions in the clip.

Jerome's Wonders,
Este es Jerome:
Su página esta escrita por (uno de sus padres, primera vez que maldigo al idioma inglés por su ambiguedad de genero... J. Dominguez M.D. hmm podría ser su padre, pero igualmente podría ser su madre... whatever read on) y empieza así:
My son Jerome is still missing after the terrorist disaster of September 11, 2001 on the Twin Towers in New York City.
Que no es tan raro mucha gene no ha aparecido, pero Jerome no es como toda la gente:
His friend Bob had to have Hernia Surgery... ask your friend Jerome to help you, we told him... he did!, just a Hail Mary not expecting too much... one week later the wife called, and I asked her, how is Bob, how was the operation?... No, she answered, he went to the operating room and was told, "you don't need surgery"... I am a Medical Doctor, and I still don't know how a hernia operation can be cancelled just like that!.
His other friend, Berlanga, was called from the Air Force Reserve to go to Aphganistan... his main problem was that he had to stay Christmas away from home... again, we told him, ask Jerome to help you... he did!, again just a Hail Mary... two weeks later he was on the phone... Where are you, Berlanga?, I asked... I am in New York, they brought me to 6 countries, England, Turkey, Greece, Pakistan, not to Aphganistan... and they just told me, go home until after New Year, so here I am!.
que para milagros otra vez no es la gran cosa... pero lo siguiente...
The first experiences I had with Jerome was two days after the disaster, on September 13:
I was working on the Internet at 6:30 AM, and Jerome was missing in the tragedy of the World Trade Center for almost 48 hours... suddenly I told Jerome: If you are in Heaven, can you give me a sign?... immediately I said again: Forget it Jero!, because I knew Jerome did not like extra-natural experiences... but 10 minutes later, when I had forgotten my question to Jero, I looked at the statistics of this same Domain and on September 11 had 52,000 hits...
... This may look nothing to you, but for 3 years, I had been working to increase the number of hits on this Domain that was about 25,000 hits per day in 1998, and after thousands of working hours and about 50 web sites more, the number of hits never went over 30,000 hits, it looked like an impossible wall to brake.... and, all of a sudden, 52,000, 53,000 the next day... and the next day 56,654... and up to today, January 30, 2002, the number of hits has been around 50,000, with one day, an impossible!, 106,181 hits!... without any human explanation I can give... now, in 2004, the hits are usually about 200,000 per day... thanks, Jero!.
Of course, this may not mean much to you, but for me it was an immediate answer of Jero, telling me he was dead and that he was in Heaven!...
Jerome... el santo de las estadísticas de visita???
lo leyeron primero aqui...
Jerome's Wonders, the little miracles of Jerome after his death on 911 in the World Trade Center in New York

It all started last fall when Tito Ortiz called Mark Coleman a sissy for pulling out of their scheduled fight at UFC 106. Mark Coleman's manager retaliated by getting a little too personal and taking shots at Tito's girlfriend, ex-porn queen Jenna Jameson.
"The only thing Coleman is afraid of when it comes to Tito is contracting swine flu from that dirty ass d-bag. We all know where he lays his head down at night. Tito wants to get personal with a legend? OK, let's get personal – we can all go to our porn collections and watch what Tito sleeps with night after night."
Mark Coleman never approved of the message his manager sent, and at the time it seemed Tito was going to let it go. Fast forward a few months and it's become clear he isn't. During Mark Coleman's post-fight interview at UFC 109, Tito yelled, "Payback's a bitch motherfucker," while Jenna Jameson walked by the cage flipping Coleman off. It was obviously a difficult moment for Coleman who was just minutes removed from losing what he called his dream fight. Coleman, never one to keep his emotions in check, immediately jumped on the mic and blurted back, "Fuck you, Tito… Any fucking time, Tito. Anytime, douchebag."
Whether Coleman will admit it to himself or not, it's apparent his time as a UFC fighter is rapidly coming to an end. Still, if there's one more fight left in the UFC for Coleman, it's Tito Ortiz. That's if Dana White keeps him on the roster, and by the way Dana was talking after last night's event it doesn't sound like he will be. A Coleman-Tito grudge match might not even be enough to convince Dana to give Coleman one last fight.
"I think tonight was probably Coleman's last fight in the UFC. I just think he'll have a hard time competing with the guys at the top of the level. Age is a factor with him…Tito's talking [expletive] to Coleman after Coleman just lost this fight that he's wanted his whole life? Tito's fighting Chuck [Liddell]. I'm not even thinking Tito-Coleman."
Mark Coleman isn't the only fighter in serious danger of being cut. Dana also mentioned that Frank Trigg is probably on his way out in an interview with Fox Fight Game.

Honeyee have made an interesting interview with Visvim founder Hiroki Nakamura. Recommended reading if you like Visvim, or the idea of focusing on a great product, in preference to branding and the marketing game.
Decoy Duck Boot Hi. Sand/Red.
We love this boot, and we are not alone. As Complex Mag says it: "Forward-thinking lifestyle brand Visvim continues to do it better than everyone else. Take this Decoy Duck Boot for instance. Males generally have a tough time pulling off the whole hi-boot thing effectively, but these are done right. The understated colours won't draw crazy attention, but real heads will recognize the Visvim stamp of swagger, and functionality wise, they're totally winter-friendly. We know secretly, you always wanted to have cooler boots than your chick…here's your chance."

The rents will reportedly stay relatively low on the 178 apartments at Elbee Gardens in Staten Island for another 30 years.
"The extensive renovations at Elbee Gardens we celebrate today will keep this housing viable and keep the Grasmere community thriving for the next generation of New Yorkers," said Lynne Patton, regional administrator for New York and New Jersey for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Elbee Gardens is a six-story elevator building at 1950 Clove Rd., built under HUD's Sec. 236 program. It hadn't received any significant capital improvements since it first opened in 1973. It is currently fully-occupied by low-income tenants who receive Sec. 8 rental subsidies. The $38 million recapitalization fixed roofs, boilers, elevators and apartments.

You know those books that you know are really good and you know you should read and you know you'll probably like but you can never quite make yourself pick up? Yeah, that was Blindness for me for awhile. I really liked the idea of the plot and the author had won the Nobel for Literature the year before it was published so that gives you an idea of its quality. Nevertheless, it sat quite sadly on my bookshelf for months.
However, with my imminent departure from the UK and the lack of room in my suitcase for books (and the ridiculously exorbitant amount they expect you to pay for shipping), I have started reading everything and anything I own and then, almost immediately, giving it to a friend I think might like it. And so it was with Blindness.
Blindness tells the story of a sudden epidemic of a new kind of blindness. One day, as a man sits in his car, waiting for the light to change, he no longer can see. It isn't a dark blindness, either; he can only see a bright white. A good samaritan helps him back to his home but then proceeds to steal his car. When his wife gets home, she takes the man to the eye doctor who has never seen anything like it. The next day, the "good samaritan", the eye doctor and various patients in the clinic that day become blind, as well.
As the blindness moves from person to person, seemingly from just making eye contact with each other, the government begins to worry and quarantines the blind and the infected into old mental hospitals. However, as the government begins to fall apart, the blind become rowdy and without a clear leadership, criminals begin to take over the ward.
Throughout all this, there is one character who can always see. The eye doctor's wife never goes blind but fakes it so that she can accompany her husband to the quarantine. She spends the novel trying to help but also having to pretend that she is also blind. It is with her character we are supposed to empathize with (and I did, at least) and her character that we see the suffering of the others.
The plot of Blindness is quite brilliant. It is always interesting and page turning, never growing dull. I also really enjoyed the narrative voice. It was a bit meandering, in the best kind of way, throwing in asides and ideas so much that the narrator became a sort of invisible character, someone watching a movie with you and making up comments as they go along.
The only thing that bothered me about Blindness, to be honest, was the formatting and some editing choices. Most of the story is told in huge, chunky paragraphs with long, run on sentences whose endings and beginnings don't make a ton of sense. While I understand at least part of the choice to do this, throwing the reader into a disorientated state with the characters, not allowing you to skim by forcing you to concentrate on long paragraphs, I still didn't enjoy it. But what can I say? I'm not a Nobel winner.
I did quite enjoy Blindness and found the plot very interesting. While it's not a super thriller, it's definitely page turning and I would recommend it, as long as you're up for the challenge.
Oh! And there's a lovely movie starring Julienne Moore and Mark Ruffalo. A great adaptation of the book. I think the end works particularly well in the movie version, I thought.

A two-year study led by researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) reveals that low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets may be just as safe and effective in achieving weight loss as the standard, medically prescribed low-fat diet, according to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The study was conducted by BGU and the Nuclear Research Center in Dimona, Israel, in collaboration with Harvard University, The University of Leipzig, Germany and the University of Western Ontario, Canada.
In the two-year study, 322 moderately obese people were intensively monitored and were randomly assigned one of three diets: a low-fat, calorie-restricted diet; a Mediterranean calorie-restricted diet with the highest level of dietary fiber and monounsaturated/saturated fat; or a low-carbohydrate diet with the least amount of carbohydrates, highest fat, protein, and dietary cholesterol. The low-carb dieters had no caloric intake restrictions.
Although participants actually decreased their total daily calories consumed by a similar amount, net weight loss from the low-fat diet after two years was only 6.5 lbs. (2.9 kg) compared to 10 lbs. (4.4 kg) on the Mediterranean diet, and 10.3 lbs. (4.7 kg) on the low-carbohydrate diet. "These weight reduction rates are comparable to results from physician-prescribed weight loss medications," explains Dr. Iris Shai, the lead researcher.
The low-fat diet reduced the total cholesterol to HDL ratio by only 12 percent, while the low-carbohydrate diet improved the same ratio by 20 percent. Lipids improved the most in the low-carbohydrate, with a 20% increase in the HDL ("good") cholesterol and, 14% decrease in triglycerides. In all three diets, inflammatory and liver function biomarkers was equally improved. However, among diabetic participants, the standard low-fat diet actually increased the fasting glucose levels by 12mg/dL, while the Mediterranean diet induced a decrease in fasting glucose levels by 33mg/dL.
In addition to the findings, this two-year study is also significant because of the relatively large number of participants coupled with a low drop-out rate -- 95 percent were in the study after one year and 85 percent were still participating after the second.
Dr. Iris Shai is a researcher at the S. Daniel Abraham International Center for Health and Nutrition in the Department of Epidemiology at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. She conceived the study with Dr. Stampfer, the senior author, while she was a Fulbright fellow at Harvard School of Public Health and Channing Laboratory in Boston, Massachusetts.
The trial conducted at the Nuclear Research Center in Israel involved unparalleled and significant cooperation between staff, participants and their spouses. The cafeterias in the workplace went through a "health revolution," integrating the workplace cafeteria managers with clinical support and a nutritional advisor, in order to provide healthy food dishes that would fit each one of the dietary arms, as labeled with specific colors every day. Along with careful workplace nutritional counseling, spouses of the trial participants were educated on how to keep the specific assigned diet strategy at home. The participants also completed electronic questionnaires, developed specifically for the study.
"The Nuclear Research Center Dimona highly values health promotion within the workplace," said Dr. Dan Schwarzfuchs, director of the clinical department at the facility. "This is why it supported performance of such a nutritional study and enabled the outstanding adherence rate of the DIRECT participants."
"Clearly, there is not one diet that is ideal for everyone," Shai concludes. "We believe that this study will open clinical medicine to considering low-carb and Mediterranean diets as safe effective alternatives for patients, based on personal preference and the medical goals set for such intervention. Furthermore, the improvement in levels of some biomarkers continued until the 24-month point, although maximum weight loss was achieved by 6 months. This suggests that healthy diet has beneficial effects beyond weight loss."

4 Weight Loss Tips for Beginners
Most of people who are obese are heading north, and many of them are frantically looking for weight loss programs to help them lose excess fats off their body so that they look slimmer, fitter and sexier.
Here are 4 weight loss tips you should follow, on top of your weight loss program, so as to make sure that the weight loss program you've chosen will work flawlessly for you.
Tip #01 - Reduce your food intake
The first thing you should watch out for in order to lose weight is your diet. I know many of us can't resist when we step into a restaurant, and start ordering just about everything we see in the menu that looks nice. The rule of the thumb here is this - eat just enough so that you will not be hungry. Once you're no longer hungry, stop eating immediately. Never stuff yourself with food.
Tip #02 - The importance of exercising
Exercising will help your body burn fats. No diets will work without the help of a good exercise regime.
Tip #03 - Eat healthy
Most people concentrate too much on getting thin that they fail to recognize the more important thing - which is that they have to concentrate the fact that they have to eat healthy as well. By eating the right foods, and adequate amount, you should not have to worry about getting fat.
The main reason why so many people are overweight these days is because of the food they eat, which are normally fatty foods and sweets - which should be avoided as much as possible.
Tip #04 - Get support from family and friends
All these weight loss tips and programs won't do you any good if you feel that you're going through this whole process all by yourself. Try to involve people whom you are very close with into your weight loss program.
You may not realize it but, their support can actually help you go a very long way in your weight loss journey. For one, they would be considerate enough not to eat cakes and rich desserts in front of you. They could also stop you from biting on a piece of chocolate bar at the very last minute!
Follow these 4 weight loss tips and you should be on your way toward a slimmer, leaner and sexier body. You have to be patient though, as the whole weight loss success journey does not happen overnight. But I can guarantee you one thing - that the fruits of your labor will certainly be sweet.

Lose Weight Fast With These Three Tips
For busy women who want to lose weight fast, life just got a lot easier. Registered Dietitian Jayson Hunter has made several quick weight loss tips available to help the busy woman on the go lose pounds and inches.
Hunter explained, "Everyone is busy these days, especially women. But losing weight fast doesn't need to be looked at as difficult or as a chore." He went on to say, "Just following these three quick weight loss tips will go a long way to helping any woman lose pounds and inches."
The Registered Dietitian recommends these three tips for rapid fat loss:
1) Record what you eat and drink.
Women are often amazed by the amount of calories they realize they are consuming. Keeping a food journal is critical to their success because they need it to evaluate and analyze their current eating patterns.
2) Incorporate "super foods" into your meal plan on a daily basis.
Some examples are salmon, low-fat plain yogurt, tomatoes, spinach, mixed berries, whole oats, mixed nuts, olive oil, flax seeds(or flax meal), green tea, and various beans.
3) Keep total fat intake under 30% for the day.
This can easily be accomplished by avoiding "extra" fats such as butter, sour cream, mayonnaise, etc. This doesn't mean women have to completely eliminate these items, just use them sparingly and avoid adding them to foods whenever possible.
All you need to follow these above mentioned tips with full dedication and honesty.

The second night of the show went even better than the first. We had a similar number in terms of audience, but they went for it even more than the previous night's.
Most people that I've spoken to or that have e-mailed me, have their own personal favourites, which is nice.
We're all going to watch the film of the show on Sunday night and after that the best bits from both nights will be edited into one DVD.
We've yet to sit down and discuss what's next for Glue. We are intending another show in a few months time, but we'll have to see what transpires.

New preference to control the mighty mouse.
recognizes more JCAMP files (FIDs exported from TopSpin).
contains minor fixes inside the Aspect importer, the MacNMR importer and the Metadata dialog.
Filter to import old MacNMR spectra (1D only).
- Spotlight importer localized in French, German, Spanish and Italian.
- Command "Edit/Search".
- Updated manual.
- A bug fixed (routine that draws the peak-picking labels).
- Spotlight plug-in.
- New Document Icons.
- Support for the mighty mouse.
- Formula and SMILES stored and searchable.
- Can optionally import processed data.
- recompiled as Universal Binary.
- custom background colors.
- Simulation documents can be saved on disc.
- Filter to import Siemens files.
- Compiled with XCode 2.4.
- bug fixes.
- Deconvolution (least-square fit of line shapes).
- Filter to import GE medical NMR files.
- The Open dialog has been modified to accept multiple choices (more files can be opened with a single dialog).
This new version adheres to the JCAMP-DX standard for exchanging spectroscopic data. It can read and write JCAMP files.
Other new features: the command "Simulate/Listing" has been refined. New defaults values for the Gaussian and the exponential line-broadening.
With older versions it was possible to import and export frequency-domain data. It was also possible to correct their phase, but this belated correction was not saved. Now it is.
- An alternative strategy for fitting simulated spectra (the equivalent of the old-time LAOCOON).
- Still in the simulation module: now you can print the two lists (input parameters and calculated lines).
- Two new application preferences:
- Drawer automatically opened.
- Document notes can take the precedence over peak labels.
- 3 bugs fixed (they were present in 1.3, but not in older versions).
Easily the biggest upgrade since version 0.0, version 1.3 sports a quantum-chemistry module to simulate and fit NMR spectra of spin 1/2 in liquids or liquid-crystals solvents. Under an intuitive and minimal interface, the following situations are handled, even simultaneously:
- chemical shifts, scalar and dipolar coupling;
- magnetic equivalence and symmetry;
- chemical exchange, including mutual exchange;
- Lorentzian, Gaussian and mixed line shapes;
- individual line widths for each nucleus, if required;
- multiple spin systems;
- X approximation (with nuclei of any spin number);
- manual or automatic fitting to an experimental spectrum;
- variable magnetic field (the same document simulates spectra at any magnetic field).
One of the most appreciated modules inside iNMR was the "Interactive Weight". Before competitors could copy it, we made it evolve into the "Visual Weighting" concept. You can now monitor the effect of the lorentz-gauss transformation either on the spectrum or on the FID or you can visualize the shape of the weight itself. The parameters values are also displayed and the module sports a new, more self-explicative, layout.
- Annotations can be dragged even when the text tool is selected.
- The contextual menu for text annotations now contains two more items (smaller and larger font).
- A new general preference to preventively specify the font of annotations.
- The current tool can be deactivated with the <Shift> key.
- Scale reference now imported from Bruker spectra.
- Better compatibility with the old clipboard of Panther.
- An rarely encountered bug has been fixed (sometimes iNMR crashed at the very first use of the text tool).
- The manual explains how to calculate the parameters that describe the exponential and gaussian multiplication.
- Optional horizontal palette.
- The palette now doesn't hide new windows.
- Keyboard shortcut to transpose a matrix in the XY plane.
- Filter to read Jeol Delta files.
- The user can save custom formats (templates) for arranging spectra with a single operation.
- An option to reduce the glitch at the center of analog spectra.
- Shortcut to examine the original parameters with a text editor.
- Phase information extracted from Bruker 2D files.
- New registration mechanism.
- FIDs can be exported as ASCII, just like transformed spectra.

Apple will be the big winner as India's premium smartphone market is projected to grow to 5 million phones for 2016, says a new report from research firm CyberMedia Research (CMR.)
According to CMR's data, 3.3 million premium smartphones were shipped in 2015 of the total 96.4 million smartphones during the period. The company now expects this number to jump to 5 million.
CMR's data says that it saw a 53 per cent growth in the premium smartphone segment (devices priced at Rs 30,000 and above) in India for the year 2015. It should be noted that even with the 53 per cent growth, these premium devices account for around 3.4 per cent of the total shipments of smartphones in India.
Currently the top three premium brands are Samsung, Apple and Sony Mobile with phablets (5-inch or more) dominating the segment at 63 per cent share.
Watch our video review of the Apple iPhone SE
CMR expects Apple to gain in this segment, but notes that the iPhone SE will not be the centre-piece for Apple's growth in India. The research firm feels that Android's supremacy in OS in the segment could face a challenge from iOS, unless say Indian smartphone vendors jump into the premium category as well.
"This is an encouraging indicator that the premium segment is exhibiting such growth. As the Indian market moves from a volume game to value market, premium segment becomes significant for the industry where you sell lesser units for higher value," said Faisal Kawoosa, Lead Analyst Telecoms at CMR.
"To mark the next level of growth, the India Mobile Handset brands need to leverage the premium segment as the units market shrinks," he added.
The study also showed that not all the premium smartphones shipped with the latest version of their OS; merely 13% of the devices were shipped with the latest version of the operating system for the period.
"Unfortunately, so far none of the Indian brands have been able to establish itself in the premium segment. While their focus continues to be the affordable price points of Smartphones, it is high time that they start foraying into the premium segment as well," said Krishna Mukherjee, Analyst Telecoms, CMR.

Executive summary
Although the Colombian reinsurance segment recorded a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46.2% during the review period (2009−2013), it is still in its early stages of development. In the absence of domestic insurers, the segment is dominated by foreign reinsurers such as Scor Re, Mapfre Re, Hannover Re, Munich Re and Axa Re. These companies function through brokers and their representative offices. Hannover Re and Munich Re operate through representative offices in Bogotá Bogotá, while Swiss Re entered the country by acquiring a Colombian insurance company. On February 24, 2014, Swiss Re signed an agreement with specialty insurer Seguros Confianza, based in Bogotá, to acquire a 51% stake in the company. Through this partnership, the corporate clients of Confianza can gain access to commercial insurance products offered by Swiss Re. In June 2013, the government made financial regulations that permitted domestic companies to purchase insurance and make reinsurance arrangements with international companies not operating or established within Colombia. This will make the segment more competitive over the forecast period (2013−2018).
