The Next Refugee Crisis | Jacobin https://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/01/refugees-europe-merkel-germany-migrants-france-emergency/
"Europe's reaction to the recent influx of refugees does not bode well for the future of liberal democracy in a world where climate change will force far more people to migrate. Across the continent xenophobic, right-wing populist parties are on the rise while even mainstream parties are pushing policies of aggressive policing, surveillance, and militarized borders."· Eivind
"Since 2011 the number of refugees globally has surged by a shocking 40 percent, bringing the worldwide total to 60 million refugees, more than any time since World War II. Why the upward spike starting in 2011? That year saw the second major food price shock in less than a decade. Between June 2010 and June 2011, world grain prices almost doubled. Wheat prices shot up 83 percent, while corn prices increased by a staggering 91 percent. In summer 2010, Russia, one of the world's leading wheat exporters, suffered its worst drought in one hundred years. Known as the Black Sea Drought, this extreme weather pattern triggered fires that burnt vast swathes of Russian forest and desiccated farmland in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. That year, Russian wheat exports declined by 78 percent. Meanwhile, bad weather in the American Midwest in 2009 and 2010 meant wheat production shortfalls, and by 2011 that translated into a 22 percent drop in US wheat exports. Over the same years, massive flooding in Pakistan put a large part of that country under water, and while this did not hurt wheat exports as much as expected, it rattled markets and spurred on the speculators. Among those most aggressively bidding up grain prices was the Swiss-based commodities trading giant Glencore. The firm went so far as to publicly urge Russia to cancel its export contracts, which it did. Egypt, like many Middle Eastern countries, is a major wheat importer, one of the single biggest in the world. When Russia canceled its export contracts, food prices in Egypt and across the Maghreb surged, helping fuel the protests that became the Arab Spring. Meanwhile, modern bread riots broke out in cities from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, to Nairobi, Kenya, and four new wars began: Libya, Yemen, Syria, and a small one in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. At the same time drought in Syria, combined with austerity by the Assad government, pushed as many as eight hundred thousand Sunni farmers off the land and into cities. Their suffering and the associated social friction contributed to the outbreak of civil war in Syria."· Eivind
"Between 2007 and 2013, the EU allocated €4 billion to deal with refugees but, according to Amnesty International, only 17 percent of that amount was spent "to support asylum procedures, reception services and the resettlement and integration of refugees." The other 83 percent was spent on border militarization, detention, surveillance, and deportation."· fax
"The current influx of refugees to Europe does not, in any economic or cultural sense, constitute an "emergency." The (non-EU) foreign-born population of Europe is about 6.3 percent. By comparison, 13 percent of the United States population is foreign-born."· fax

These causality relations sound too simplistic to me.· haypunkt
@haypatpat: I can't find the source now, but I remember hearing about a paper on Acik Radyo, which argued that strife does indeed follow droughts/famine. It said something along the lines of a drought being a good predictor of near-future violent conflict, if not the direct cause. I'll try to find it (not that it refutes your challenge of causation :) )· Kickdrum
I think it was this paper, and it does say in the abstract "We conclude that human influences on the climate system are implicated in the current Syrian conflict.". Haven't read the full paper so I don't know if they claim direct causation | http://www.pnas.org/content/112/11/3241.abstract· Kickdrum
Thanks for sharing that paper. Very interesting and adds detail to the link between climate change and strife.· Eivind

If I'm here more or less on the equator
are these ants that crawl on this book of yours
therefore equatorial ants?
(They look like the same things
that come into the kitchen
at home.) Maybe they sting.
Let's say they sting: crawl up
from the sand across the book
past my hairy wrist onto my hand
& sting not such a serious sting--
just a kind of reckoning--a bill
to be paid for staying against common sense
to write this note about ants.
Would I be your victim then,
involved in something like
the searing kiss of equatorial
ants in the wide arena of melanin?
Word vulture, bone collector,
owner of cheap intellectual rings:
keep talking like this: you alone
will drain the world of meaning.

text: House Health Care Bill Might Actually Tempt Dems It would offer the push-back the president promised By Kevin Spak, Newser Staff Posted Nov 15, 2013 7:46 AM CST 135 comments Comments President Barack Obama gestures as he speaks about his signature health care law, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013, in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak) View 1 more image (Newser) – Voting to defang ObamaCare is House Republicans' favorite hobby, but today they'll put forward a health care bill that might actually draw some votes from across the aisle. The bill would allow insurers to keep selling their current plans, even if they don't meet the Affordable Care Act's standards, the Hill reports. At least five Democrats have publicly said they support the measure, and Democratic leadership hasn't even said if it will try to persuade members not to. President Obama yesterday promised a similar fix, but his would be narrower, extending policies only for current holders, and only for one year. That still might dissuade some Democrats from voting for the House bill, but many are openly annoyed at the president. "It's been on him all along, and look where we are," one said. Obama also intends to allow states to opt out of his fix, CNN reports, and Washington state has already announced that it will, according to the AP. Some other states, including Virginia, Kentucky, and Idaho, already require all plans to meet ACA standards.

Apple iPhone 3G S 'will not start a price war'
Consumers selling mobile phones to pay for an Apple iPhone 3G S may find they get more extras with the device in the future, if one expert is to be believed.
Following the recent news that Tesco Mobile is to follow O2, Orange and Vodafone in becoming a stockist of the handset, a spokesman for an online technology news resource has talked about how this may affect the sector.
Fraser MacDonald, editor at Stuff Magazine, said that the iPhone is now "in a transitional stage", meaning it is now less exclusive, but noted this may not lead to the price war some have predicted.
"The phone has lost some of the exclusivity that Apple products normally attract, so the fact that Tesco are doing it means they are taking something that is already happening to a greater level," he added.
Mr MacDonald concluded, however, that the battle may be fought in the field of features and services, but much will depend on whether Tesco puts out the device as sim-free.

text: I wrote to support on October 30 about several problems with my game which are making it virtually impossible for me to play. The only response I have received is an automated message saying they had received my help request and it was being reviewed by the support staff. I have not heard anything else from them and my game still isn't fixed. I have cleared so much land and have so many dragons that I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall the game if it can be fixed. I've read posts on here from players who are having the same problems as I am and they were also having trouble getting a response from support. Who can I contact to get my game fixed? Apparently support is too busy to help me.

Consumer electronics giant Philips announced forecast beating profits Monday, indicating that CEO Frans van Houten's turnaround plan is beginning to pay off despite difficult market conditions.
Van Houten told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" Monday that visibility is not very good. He added that the "general economy is not a friend."
Philips', second quarter net profits came in at 167 million euros ($202 million), up from a 1.19 billion euro loss in the same period in 2011. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a second quarter net profit of 118 million euros.
Second-quarter sales also beat forecasts, coming in at 5.9 billion euros versus an expectation of 5.59 billion euros.
Van Houten said demand is strong in Russia, the Middle East and Asia and added that he is "happy" about growth in the United States.
Growth in Southern Europe remains a problem for Philips, like many other companies, although van Houten pointed out his healthcare team won a big order in Italy during the last quarter.
In the long-term, van Houten is confident the rise of the middle classes in emerging markets like China and India will drive demand for its healthcare and efficient lighting businesses.
He has been in charge at Philips since last year and has during that time issued two profit warnings, slashed jobs, revamped his executive team and exited the group's loss-making TV operations.
Philips share price has had a volatile year but after rallying in late June now trades close to its 2012 highs.

Overweight People Remain Same Forever
Here is a bad news for overweight persons. A 55-year study in Britain has found out that once people gain weight, they can never regain their original size. Of the 12 million Britons who diet every year, less than 10 percent succeed in losing significant amounts of weight – again with putting it back on within a year. The national survey by the Medical Research Council sampled 5,362 men and women since their birth in 1946, and 20,000 people born in 1958 and assessed the lifestyles of them.
A member of council Rebecca Hardy explained "Both groups began increasing in weight in the 1980s and since then people have been increasing in mass all through life. For men it goes up steadily through life. For women it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-30s. Once people become overweight they continue relentlessly upwards – hardly ever going down." However the study adds that dieting has its own benefits.

Spirals shape how we think
1 April 2008
Cells on the left and right side of the brain produce differently shaped nerve fibres to transmit signals, which could explain how both halves process different types of information, according to research led by Professor Stephen Wilson (UCL Cell and Developmental Biology) published in 'Neural Development' today.
Professor Wilson and PhD student Isaac Bianco caused left and right-sided neurons (nerve cells) in a part of the brain called the habenula to produce a bright green fluorescent protein. These formed spiral-shaped axons, the long nerve fibres that act as the nervous system's transmission lines. The researchers found that there were two very different types of neuron that were both found on both sides of the brain. However, whilst most of the left-sided cells produced spiral axons shaped into a domed crown, most on the right form flat, shallow spirals.
The sides of the brain differ in many animal species, which is thought to influence cognitive performance and social behaviour. For example, in humans the left half of the brain is concerned with language processing whereas the right side is better at comprehending musical melody.
"It's clear that the left and right halves of the brain process different types of information, but almost nothing is known about the differences in the brain's circuitry that achieve this," said Professor Wilson. "One possibility is that totally different types of neuron might be found on the left and right. Alternatively, both sides could contain the same building blocks but put them together in different ways".
Isaac Bianco explained: "In the same way that an engineer can make different electronic circuits from the same set of electronic components, so the left and right halves of the brain use the same types of neuron but in different combinations."
The left and right habenular circuits both connect to the same part of the brain and the researchers found that this may either combine signals from the left and right or handle them independently.
"Even though language is processed largely on the left side of the human brain, people don't speak with only one half of their mouth. The brain must contain circuits which take information from the left or right and then send it on to targets on both sides of the body," said Professor Wilson.
The scientists also found that a tiny group of cells, located close to the left habenula, are important for the development of brain asymmetry. By destroying these cells with a laser, they found that left-sided neurons formed the flattened spirals that are usually more prevalent on the right, though subtle differences between the left and right sides were still apparent.
To find out more about the research, follow the links at the top of this article.
Image 1: A habenula neuron in the brain of a zebrafish larva, labelled with green fluorescent protein.
Image 2: An example of the basket-shaped spiral arbors that are formed by most left-sided neurons, but only by a few right-sided cells.
Image 3: The majority of right sided neurons form spirals where the axon winds around to form a flattened ring, as shown here. These spirals are also formed by left sided cells, but much less often.

Toyota returns to its roots with the Scion FR-S coupe aimed at bringing the driving experience back and making cars fun to drive again.
Rear-wheel drive coupes were plentiful in the '90s. The Toyota MR2 and Supra, Nissan 240 SX, Mazda RX-7 and Acura NSX all had flowing lines and performance under the hood to back up their stylish looks. As OBD2 came in and performance was sacrificed in the name of emissions, one by one, these cars went the way of the dodo bird. Since then, the RX-8 and S2000 have come and gone, and Nissan has ditched the 240 series for the 350 and now 370Z.
Coupe offerings from Toyota have been noticeably missing since the last MR2 left showrooms more than five years ago. But, starting with the 2013 model year, Toyota is returning to its roots with the Scion FR-S coupe, which is aimed at bringing the driving experience back and making cars fun to drive again.
The FR-S looks sleek and sporty from every angle. Borrowing some of its styling from the old Sports 800, 2000GT and iconic AE86 Corolla; and, it's easy to find lines and shapes inspired by these classic Toyotas. Not only does the FR-S appear to be built for speed, but its low center of gravity and low coefficient of drag means the car accelerates and corners with little resistance. The pagoda roof helps streamline air for high-speed stability and, while the car may look like a hatchback at first peak, the coupe design maximizes chassis rigidity and keeps weight down with a minimal use of glass.
Getting behind the wheel for the first time is a treat. Ergonomics are designed around the driver and the large tachometer shows the car means business. Both driver and passenger are hugged by the OEM seats, which are bolstered much more like a race seat than the Honda Civic or Scion tC seat you may be used to today. The driver grips the smallest diameter steering wheel (14.37 inches or 365 mm for those used to aftermarket steering wheel sizing) ever placed in a Toyota.
Turning on the ignition for the first time, the distinct sound of a boxer engine is present. Ripping through all six gears on an open Nevada highway is effortless and smooth for the manual transmission. While the FR-S isn't a top speed monster, its acceleration is predictable and plentiful thanks to its 2,700-pound curb weight. A few more horsepower wouldn't hurt, but with the shared engine characteristics to boxer motors of the past, aftermarket modifications should be readily available shortly after the car launches.
Scion has arranged for a scenic drive route through scenic Red Rock Canyon State Park just outside of Las Vegas followed by a track session at Spring Mountain Motorsports Park, so I'm able to get a proper feel for the car both at speed and in casual driving situations. It isn't lightning fast, but its nimbleness and predictability of traction makes it easy to drive the FR-S as spirited as you want.
Scion Racing driver Ken Gushi is on hand to offer tips on how to get the car sideways on the wet skid pad, which is does willingly. Around a tight autocross course, the car turns quickly and precisely, breaking traction only when it's pushed to the limit. Admittedly, I enjoy the fun of sliding sideways (especially on a low-speed course) so I explore the limit more often than not. When given the chance to stretch its legs on the big track, the car really opens up and purrs. It's comfortable both on the straights and in the curves.
Overall, Scion's first foray into the rear-wheel drive market is a calculated risk, but one that is likely to reap rewards. At just under $25,000 in the U.S., the car is priced much lower than the heavier Genesis Coupe and is in a completely different price and weight class compared to the 370Z and American m offerings.
Jack Hollis, VP of Scion VP, has long touted the FR-S as being "Frickin Really Sweet" and, frankly, I have to agree. The car is fun to drive, easy to get sideways and looks sleek. By the time you read this article, there will likely be a FR-S in the PAS stable.

Doing Away With The Honour Roll & Award System In Schools Is Absurd

No more honour roll. No more awards ceremonies. While it may only be Calgary's St. Basil School in the spotlight now, there is little doubt that countless other schools and districts will — or have already — taken active steps to eliminate all evidence that the world is in fact a competitive place, and that performance is variable.

TB of the kidney
Can you get kidney TB and not have lung TB? Also, how do you get tested for kidney TB?
Yes, you can have TB in the kidney and not have "active" TB disease of the lung. However, most people with TB disease of the kidney have had TB infection of the lung some time in the past. (But not active lung disease)
Most active TB disease occurs in the lungs but about 20% of TB disease is outside of the lungs, which can include the kidneys approximately 2% of the times. TB is spread from one person to another through the air. When a person inhales the TB germ, the bacteria can settle in the lung and begin to grow. From the lungs it can enter the blood stream and spread to other parts of the body including the kidneys. Usually, the body's immune system is able to fight the bacteria and stop it from growing in the lungs and other parts of the body. This is called Latent TB Infection. About 10% of people with latent TB infection can develop active TB disease sometime in their lifetime. Active TB can develop in any parts of the body that was initially infected.
Diagnosis of kidney tuberculosis can be difficult. Patients may not have symptoms of infection such as fever, chills, night sweats or weight loss. Some may have back or side pain, blood or infection in the urine. Most patients will have a positive tuberculin skin test and abnormal X-ray of the kidneys. Definitive diagnosis usually requires culturing or growing the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria from the urine or kidney tissue. But sometimes it may not grow. Your doctor may need to refer you to a specialist for diagnosis and treatment of Kidney TB.

You Can Find It At The Beach in Boa Viagem
Perhaps the most popular tourist destination in Recife, Brazil is the beach in Boa Viagem. Known for having one of the most visited "urban beaches" in northeastern Brazil, there are miles of sand and ocean on one side and skyscrapers as far as the eye can see on the other.
The upkeep along Avenida Boa Viagem is considerably better than the rest of Recife with well-kept, clean sidewalks and small kiosks dotted up and down offering drinks and snacks.
The many caution signs warning of shark danger do not deter many from enjoying the cool waters, especially in areas where reefs form natural pools and protection from unwanted sea creatures.
The best thing about this beach is that anything you may ever need, want or imagine can be found on its shores.
Lay your towel on the sand or rent rent chairs from a vendor. After you're settled, sit back and relax as an array of treats are continuously paraded in front of you.
Sunscreen, sunglasses, beach toys, dresses and even bikinis are sold by vendors. Very rarely are they pesky. A simple shake of the head and "não obrigado" sends them on their way.
The sun is making your parched? No worries. You can buy coconut water, mixed adult beverages, beer and soda without leaving your spot and all at reasonably – if not ridiculously cheap – prices. For instance, fresh coconut water is R2.50 – that's $1.25!
The best items offered on the beach have got to be the food. You can choose a fresh fish from one of the many beach vendors. Once you've chosen a winner, they'll fry it and bring to you – usually accompanied with potatoes and salad.
Carts continuously move past you offering queijo na brasa (grilled cheese) with either honey or oregano, boiled shrimp, oysters, caldinho ( black bean soup with different meats), cashews, boiled peanuts, and the list goes on.
The biggest effort you need to make for a beach day here is where to place your beach bag. After that, just sit back and relax. Everything is taken care of.
Havaianas or iPanema's?
Living near the ocean is magical. There's sand, sun, tropical drinks and flip-flops. Lots and lots of flip flops. If the women here aren't teetering in the highest of heels (which they love) then they are doing the complete opposite … Continue reading

Seasons for Growth Workshop - Understanding Change, Loss and Grief
Seasons For Growth Workshop
This workshop for adults will guide you through understanding Change, Loss and Grief. Bookings essential
Seasons for Growth is an innovative grief and loss education program that uses the metaphor of the seasons to illustrate the experience of grief. It strengthens the social and emotional wellbeing of adults, who are dealing with significant life changes by:
• Exploring the impact of change and loss on every-day life
• Learning new ways to respond to those changes
Participants learn that they are not alone in experiencing the effects of change, loss and grief, and are able to build their communication, decision making and problem solving skills with a supportive peer group.
The Seasons for Growth program helps to normalise participants' grief experiences, increases protective factors (including building personal resilience and social skills), and minimises some risk factors (including isolation) that influence mental health and wellbeing.
Tuesday 14th November - 5.30pm - 9.30pm

Systems is finishing the reimaging of the public machines and classrooms.
Systems has received a new server primarily for image files. A new RLIN client is coming out and will be installed at the end of the semester.
Grace Agnew requested that PCWG conduct a computer needs assessment online survey of RUL staff to determine how to best spend limited PC replacement funds. While the consensus of the Group is that all Win95 machines are the highest priority for immediate replacement, we drafted a short basic survey that Ann B. will take to Sam and Sean for them to send out via RUL_everyone. Turnaround time will be limited to one week to allow PC Coordinators to analyze the data and make recommendations to Grace by mid-March.
The body of the survey will consist of the following draft questions:
The group discussed appropriate size allocations for S: and T: users. These recommended guidelines are incorporated into the attached policy document.
We discussed whether to swap machines or reimage machines when staff members change jobs or workplaces in regard to the Exit Procedures Policy.
The next meeting is scheduled for March 16, 2004 back at TSB.

Children of Tender Years, by Ted Allbeury. New York: Beaufort Books. 232 pp. $14.95. It's the main character who makes this spy novel worth reading. British Secret Service agent Jake Malik, born in Poland of Jewish parents, spent his childhood in Auschwitz, where his mother died. Jake is burdened by his painful past, his feelings of being an outsider in his adopted country, and his hatred and fear of Germans.
When he is sent to West Germany on an assignment, he finds himself teamed with a young German policeman and falls in love with the policeman's sister. Jake's relationship with these new friends is compromised by his professional duties in his investigation of a blackmail plot against the Soviet Union.
Although the suspense is slow to develop, the compassionate handling of Jake's problems and the bleak picture of a spy's life make fascinating reading. Mallory's Gambit, by L. Christian Balling. Boston: The Atlantic Monthly Press. 287 pp. $15.95.
This spy novel is a real page-turner. In 1944 Max Ryder and Richard Mallory, two Americans working for the British Special Operations Executive, parachute into Nazi-occupied France to kill a German nuclear physicist with the help of Marie, a member of the French Resistance. Marie and Mallory fall in love, the mission is betrayed, and Mallory makes a hair-raising escape with the unwitting help of a German officer.
Twenty-six years later, older and embittered by their past experiences, these same characters reassemble for a cold war operation: helping an East German intelligence officer, who knows the identity of a KGB mole in the CIA, to defect.
The World War II episode is appropriately fast-moving and exciting; the cold war episode, which moves more slowly, provides a chilling look at both the machinations of the intelligence agents and the scene of the action, East Berlin.

Director Robert Rodriguez is launching his new El Rey network with his flagship series, an adaptation of his own cult classic horror film From Dusk Till Dawn. IGN had the opportunity to sit down with Rodriguez at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour to talk about his goals for El Rey, how he's translated his chiller and the changes we can expect on the small screen, and if we'll ever see Machete Kills...In Space!
From Dusk Till Dawn Series Premiere Review
IGN TV: I'm curious, when you were thinking about El Rey and your goals for the network, how do find the balance between inviting in an underserved audience and also reaching a wider net... or does that matter?
Robert Rodriguez: Yeah, no, it matters to do both. The reason I did it, really, was for the personal reasons. You know, having five kids, knowing that they don't see themselves reflected in media, in a way that could be inclusive, that speaks to them, but yet to speaks to the masses at the same time. I kind of did that in the movies, but I didn't see the equivalent in television, across the board. It was just so needed and so important. That it didn't exist already was just embarrassing. I started then feeling guilty, going like, "Well, of course it doesn't exist! It needs somebody like you to go to do it. Who else is going to it?" So it only made sense that I do it. So I needed to catch up, and it needed to be successful right away, so to do that, you've got to track everything. So we thought that Dusk Till Dawn could be our Walking Dead-type show. It's got a Hispanic angle to it, but not overplayed, like you don't even really think about it. You just go, "Oh, Dusk Till Dawn! I know that." You see it, and then it's like, "Oh my God, the quality of this is unbelievable." You just watch it, and it's so entertaining. It's a simple way to bring people in. Then I started expanding the palette from there. If that's our 10 o'clock show, then our nine o'clock show would be Bob Orci's Matador, which is more like the Sleepy Hollow-type audience, which is broader; an exciting James Bond -- a Latin, Hispanic James Bond. It just makes it more universal, how specific it makes him. It's not just for Latins, just like James Bond's not just for Britain. So we really wanted to expand the type of programming we do to include as many people as possible. I'm going to do a lot outreach into the community to build filmmakers up, to build up the next voices, to give them a place to experiment and try things and make things, and make it easy, so that people have a voice.
IGN: In terms of From Dusk Till Dawn, have you talked much to Quentin Tarantino over the years about it? Have you talked to him about this, even casually, as friends?
Rodriguez: Oh, he completely gave me his blessing to go ahead and do it. I told him, and he loves the idea of the network and everything that it represents and thought it was just a really cool idea. He is excited to see what we do with it, because there's a lot of stuff we didn't even include in the original film that was in the original script that was never shot; there was just not going to be time to do it, and that is now going to be explored. So he's excited to see it as well. It definitely has his blessing, and he's very excited to see it.
IGN: What's the tone? Is the tone going to mirror the tone of the film? Is it going to be slightly different?
Rodriguez: It's hard to say. It's not the same as the film. I think the film, because of the time it was made and the time it was conceived -- the guys who conceived the story before Quentin wrote the script -- it was much more the feel of an Evil Dead-type movie. It had a lot of comedy in it and stuff. I think it will still be darkly comic, but it's way more intense and more modern in that way. People will be surprised by how engaging and realistic it is, and fun. In the story, it's just really cool that we crafted it to build it up to go over several seasons.
IGN: Do you have any limitations? It's a cable network, right, but do you have any limitations just in terms of what you can do in the series versus the film, or are there no limits? Can it be as graphic as you want it to be?
Rodriguez: It's pretty graphic right now. We're not necessarily trying to top anybody as far as graphic goes. It just feels right for the story. If it feels honest and it's good, you know. It's not cheap or anything.
IGN: There's a lot of horror on TV right now. There's Hannibal, Bates Motel, obviously The Walking Dead. Have you been tracking any of those series?
Rodriguez: I watch Walking Dead, of course. I love Walking Dead. I haven't seen Hannibal.
IGN: That's actually probably the goriest show on TV right now.
Rodriguez: Oh, as far as gore, yeah, this isn't -- I don't know how gory it is. We haven't really gotten to that section yet. It's just got to be good. I just want it to be really enticing to an audience, make them like the characters. It's very character-based. I really love the characters.
IGN: Are there any characters that didn't make it in the film that will have different fate here, so that they could carry through the series for multiple seasons?
Rodriguez: Definitely some of the characters have completely different fates in this, from the beginning. It's almost like an alternate reality in some aspects. But there's also new characters that you would swear were probably in the original film, but they're not. They fit so well into this world that, they're new, but they fit. Then other characters, yeah, completely different trajectories.
Continue on for more of what we can expect from the Dusk Till Dawn monsters...

Poems of Lost Love
Poems of Love Lost
We have all been there. Ending it is never easy, hardly ever fast and it always leaves a vacant feeling where once there was hope. These are poems I wrote when I was younger and still searching.
Picking up the pieces
Is a game we all know
Taking the chances necessary
For a life well loved
There are no forevers left for me
I gave them all to you
You took them and ran
My shadow is etched
In the stone wall by the driveway
Where I stood for what seemed hours
Watching the last trace of you
Dissolve with the sinking sun
But still there is hope. No matter how many times we fail at love there is hope that the next one will be different.
This Time
Eating peanuts
Drinking beer
Talking with you
And some friends
Laughing at a joke
I enjoy these times
So much now
Because like our loving
They come so seldom
I know it's time
For one of us
To leave
(Me this time
You found the apartment)
It feels wrong
This time
Just not right
I'll tell you tomorrow
And if you cry
I'll stay a little longer
We can make it
Maybe we can make it
This time
And then you meet the one you have been looking for.
I didn't ask much of life
Just a little happiness
A little love
But I got the dark side
The pain and sadness
Of love gone bad
Until you
You must be my reward
For coming through the fire
Still able to love
You are more than I ever hoped for
More than I ever thought I could hold
Until you
I thought my heart had died
Now I know
It was only waiting
These are really lovely!
Beautiful ending to a reflective journey. Congratulations to you and the "reward". Best wishes for many more meaningful days!
Nice that you have come through and found love again
I hope the waiting is not going to be eternal.
Very nice, even though of all the loves I may have lost, they all led to my wonderful husband of present. Beautiful words here covering love. Nice!
"Watching the last trace of you dissolve with the sinking sun." Lines like that make my heart melt. Thank you for sharing.

Mortgage rates reached new lows this week after the Federal Reserve started its bond-buying program. But they could have dropped lower if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had not raised mortgage fees.
The benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to 3.7 percent from 3.81 percent, according to the Bankrate.com national survey of large lenders. The mortgages in this week's survey had an average total of 0.43 discount and origination points. One year ago, the mortgage index stood at 4.29 percent; four weeks ago, it was 3.91 percent. The benchmark 15-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to 2.95 percent from 3.04 percent. The benchmark 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage fell to 2.69 percent from 2.75 percent. All rates reached record lows this week, including the rate on jumbo mortgages. The 30-year fixed jumbo rate fell to 4.32 percent from 4.36 percent.
The decline in rates was expected after the Fed said last week that it would spend $40 billion per month to buy mortgage bonds. But the move didn't push rates as low as it could have.
One reason rates have not tumbled is that the Fed's move coincided with the implementation of higher mortgage fees. On Nov. 1, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will increase the fees they charge lenders to guarantee loans. Lenders have already started to price their loans based on the higher fees because it can take several weeks before they close and sell the loans to Fannie and Freddie.
The fee hike is being passed on to consumers, and translates into about a quarter of a percentage point increase in the rate borrowers get, said Brett Sinnott, director of secondary marketing for the CMG Mortgage Group.
But if it weren't for QE3, rates could have increased this week, said Rob Nunziata, president of FBC Mortgage in Orlando, Fla. The 30-year fixed should have been closer to 3.5 percent, based on how much the yields on mortgage bonds have dropped since QE3 was announced.
The required net yield on Freddie mortgage bonds for 30-year loans tumbled to 2.33 percent as of Wednesday afternoon. Prior to the Fed's announcement last week, the yield was 2.67. In an ideal world, mortgage rates would have experienced a similar decline. If the yields on mortgage bonds continue to fall as the Fed purchases more mortgage bonds, rates may reach new record lows in coming weeks.
The low rates are crucial to keep the momentum of the housing recovery, but the tight lending standards limit the impact of the low rates on the market and the economy as a whole, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Sales of existing homes increased 7.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.82 million in August compared to a month earlier, according to a report released by the NAR on Wednesday.

On March 31, 2009, the European Trade Union Confederation ("ETUC") published a list of 306 substances that it believes should be placed on both the Candidate List of substances of very high concern ("SVHCs") and the Authorization List, both of which are regulated under the EU's chemicals legislation: the Regulation on the Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals ("REACH"). ETUC's list follows the publication, by the NGO ChemSec on September 23, 2008, of the Substitute It Now ("SIN") list of 287 chemicals (for details see the Crowell & Moring client alert: S.I.N. List Proposal For The Replacement of 267 Chemicals in The EU). Although not legally binding, both ETUC's list and the SIN list are likely to have significant implications for any EU or non-EU company that either (i) manufactures in or exports to the EU a substance or a product containing a substance that is on one of the lists, or (ii) is a supplier, downstream user, or distributor for any of the companies covered by point (i).
ETUC's list includes 89 substances that are covered by the SIN list and, combined, both lists cover 484 substances. However, whereas the SIN list is centered around environmental and consumer concerns, ETUC's list focuses more on workplace issues and substances that have links to occupational diseases. ETUC's starting point is all substances produced or imported into the EU in quantities greater than 1,000 tonnes/year - 2,782 substances. ETUC then removed substances not eligible for inclusion in the Candidate List and ranked the remainder based on their danger to the health and the environment. Acrylamide was considered the most dangerous in view of its hazardous properties.
The 484 substances on both lists is in stark contrast to the much smaller three current official lists, which include:
If a substance is placed on the Candidate List and/or the Authorization List there are certain legal obligations imposed on companies, including:
Unlike the placement of a substance on the Candidate and Authorization Lists, there are no legal obligations resulting from a substance being placed on one of the non-mandatory lists (such as the ETUC or SIN lists); however, companies should still be concerned about non-legal consequences, notably the following:
Furthermore, the presence of a product on one of the non-mandatory lists is likely to be viewed with great interest by the European Commission and the EU Member States who regularly analyze and decide which substances should be added next to the Registry of Intentions for eventual placement on the Candidate and Authorization Lists. Therefore, companies with an interest in any of the substances on the non-mandatory lists would be well advised to watch carefully as to whether any of these substances are then placed on the Registry of Intentions and to take legal advice accordingly.

A close-up of Dormin's face
|Voice Actor
|Kazuhiro Nakata, Kyōko Hikami
Dormin (ドルミン Dorumin) is the entity whose being is sealed within the Shrine of Worship. It is the voice that warns Wander he is trespassing and that his request to revive Mono will yield dire consequences if granted. Dormin explains that it will revive her if Wander slays the sixteen colossi spread across the Forbidden Lands and provides him guidance and tips throughout the entire process.
[edit] Appearance
Dormin is introduced as a spiritual entity with a voice that sounds as though many people are speaking at once. When Dormin speaks, the camera focuses on the temple ceiling where a hole with shining light exists. This (incorrectly) portrays Dormin as a heavenly being. He maintains this appearance and the two sectioned below for most of the game.
- Each time a colossus is slain, black, tentacle-like shadows emerge from the final sigil and enter Wander's body. These are fragments of Dormin's being.
- Bodily Figures
- After a colossus is slain and Wander is transported back to the shrine, dark, bodily figures hover over him until he awakens. There is a new body with each colossus slain, representing once again a fragment of Dormin that was sealed within the colossi.
When the sixteenth and final colossus is slain and its respective statue falls, Dormin in released from its prison in the shrine and retakes its true form, using Wander as a host. Dormin is a massive, dark being made completely of shadow. It has horns on its head and glowing white eyes supported by a broad muscular body. It has no facial features and shadows on its back that represent hair.
[edit] Background
Dormin was once a very powerful collection of spirits, now fragmented and sealed away inside sixteen massive statues, housed in the Shrine of Worship. Each statue has its own respective colossus which can be found in one of the many sections of the Forbidden Lands. When a colossus is slain, its statue will fall, thus freeing the part of the Dormin that is trapped there. Dormin is comprised of many souls and refers to itself as "we" when it speaks, which is the only thing it can do during its imprisonment.
[edit] Story
When Wander enters the Shrine of Worship, he first walks to the alter and places Mono's body upon it. The presence attracts the attention of shadowy figures that rise from the ground to attack, but when Wander holds up the ancient sword, the shadows fade and the camera focuses on the light in the ceiling, revealing Dormin's voice. As though many people are speaking at once, the voice(s) engage(s) Wander in conversation. Dormin explains that Wander is trespassing upon forbidden lands and scoffs when Wander explains what he wants done (to have Mono revived). Dormin then explains that it can indeed control the spirits of the dead, but that it goes against natural law and has dire consequences. When Wander says he doesn't care, Dormin says it can be done, but only if Wander destroys all statues in the shrine by slaying the sixteen colossi of the land. Wander accepts and so Dormin offers a few starting pointers such as how to use the ancient sword's abilities to navigate the lands and sends him on his way.
Dormin serves to assist Wander in bringing down the colossi by hinting at their appearance, locations and abilities. Dormin also reveals tips as to where the sigil(s) are on each colossus if Wander appears to be struggling to find or conquer them. About half way through the game when Lord Emon and his men are approaching, Dormin warns Wander that others intend to get in the way of his plans and that he must make haste.
When the final colossus is slain and the sixteenth statue crumbles, Lord Emon and his men arrive at the shrine just in time to see Wander teleported back. Emon yells at Wander, asking him if he knows what he has done and reveals Dormin's true nature and purpose. Dormin simply used Wander to slay the colossi to free itself which had been segmented and sealed away in the shrine long ago. It is revealed that the tendrils that sprouted from the colossi after defeat are strings of Dormin's being, at that with each round that punctured Wander, Dormin possessed him more and more strongly.
Shortly after Emon's explanation, Wander is slain by one of Emon's men, his body is enveloped in darkness and Dormin takes its true form from its young host. It explains how it was sealed away and only using Wander to be freed. Angry at Emon and his men it prepares to attack but struggles as Wander's being fights for control. It is during this time that the player is able to control Dormin for a short while, but the controls are sluggish to represent the struggle.
Emon's men steal the ancient sword and make it to the end of the shrine to safety. On his way out, Emon thrusts the sword into the pool of water at the end of the room in attempts to banish the beast once again, this time for good. A vortex of light blasts from the pool, pulling Dormin's being into it. As Dormin fades, Wander's figure becomes apparent and struggles not to be pulled in. Despite his efforts, he too succumbs to the light, and the pool dries, quiet returning to the shrine once more.
True to its promise, Mono awakens, presumably because of Dormin.

Attending the Best Event
Every two weeks, I send out a list of over 30+ upcoming startup events in the Bay Area; there's usually an event every night, with many days having even more. But your time is valuable: you have a product to build and customers to attract. So how do you know which are really worth your time? Here's a few quick tips to help you decide:
Know Your Audience, and The Event's
Most startup and technology events will make their attendee list public. Review this and make sure there are people you want to meet! Events are an incredible place to make personal and powerful relationships with potential partners and clients, but only if you do your homework first. Reach out to people ahead of time and plan meetings, to get the most out of an event. Also, look at the event's target audience. If you want Music – check out the SF MusicTech Summit; for Geo-Location, you need to see Geo-Loco. For Early Stage Startups & Business, FailCon is a great place to start:
FailCon attracts 500 mostly early-stage founders of online technology and services. We also get a decent footprint of designers, investors, and press who want to work with those founders. If you want to make an impression with that crowd, sign up now and reach out to others.
Learning Vs. Networking
Also, be sure you know why you are going. If you are just starting off, you probably need to be attending events to learn. You'll be able to network at things like FailCon, too (we have over 3 hours dedicated to networking, including themed lunches, workshops, and coffee breaks), but you'll also get a chance to learn from those who have done this dozens of times, and make less mistakes yourself.
If you have an established business model and product, you need to be networking – meeting clients, investors, and partners. You may look at demo opportunities at events like FailCon, TechCrunch Disrupt, or Pitch; but you really want to be attending more shorter and cheaper events.
Review The Reputation
Finally, always have a good understanding of the reputation of an event: who is producing and how often has it been running. A first-time conference from a first-time producer may be worth just tuning into on twitter or their live-stream. But for something like SMASH Summit (produced by industry-star Dave McClure) or FailCon (running for 3 years by veteran producer Cass Phillipps), there is a much higher chance of bumping into that investor you needed to meet, or that big-company rep you wanted to have acquire your startup. Veterans know what you need to do business at an event, and are more likely to structure their conference appropriately.
Events are certainly not a waste of time; they can be a huge value add for your own reputation and the growth of your business. But you need to focus your efforts and come prepared, and know how to skim my lists and pick out the best. Hopefully this helps!

Hey! I did in fact get a strip up before my summer got really crazy. I go through this thought process a lot when I'm at the desk, but they don't all turn out to be professors...let me tell you! Anyway, I'm going to say that it'll be several weeks before I can post another strip, but my brother Christopher has kindly offered to create a guest strip for me while I'm busy, so be on the lookout for that! I hope you are all having a great summer! Enjoy!

RIPLEY COUNTY, MO (KFVS) - A man accused of murdering four elderly people in Ripley County pleaded guilty to four counts Monday in court.
David Youngblood pleaded guilty to the murders of Loyd and Irene Piatt and Ed Atkinson and Bonnie Chase.
Youngblood is accused of killing the two couples and setting their houses on fire.
He was sentenced to life in prison on each count to be served consecutively.
The bodies of 77-year-old Loyd Piatt, and his 80-year-old wife Irene were later found inside their burned home on June 23, 2010.
Youngblood is the Piatts' nephew.
Another fire broke out in Current View, not far from Doniphan on July 10, 2010. Edgar Atkinson and Bonnie Chase were found dead inside.
Keith Boyles was also in court Monday for those charges. Boyles pleaded not guilty. He waived his arraignment. His next court date is August 20.
Youngblood's wife and daughter also face charges in the case.
Melissa and Chantale Youngblood reportedly cleaned house for Bonnie Chase on a number of occasions.
Holly Brantley has been in the courtroom all morning and will bring more tonight on Heartland News and kfvs12.com.

Red 2, The Wolverine, The Avengers: Jan 18th Comic Reel
While it wasn't the biggest film of last year, "Red" may enough money for Summit Entertainment to secure the talents of Erich and Jon Hoeber to write a sequel to the film, as our pals at Spinoff Online reported. The Hoebers adapted the Warren Ellis/Cully Hammer comics as an action comedy that's pretty satisfying. So far, they are the only announced members of the team returning. Spinoff also promises an interview with the writers later this week.
Release date: TBA
Director Darren Aronofsky does not tell MTV News whether or not he will shoot the film in 3D:
Release date: 2012?
Chris Hemsworth tells HollyscoopTV that he's read an early draft of the script, calling it "mindblowing."
Directed by Joss Whedon & starring everybody, release date: May 4th, 2012
Bad tidings for the film? Josh Wilding at Comic Book Movie points out this excerpt from a Vulture article about co-star Blake Lively:
And both are also quick to say that should the forthcoming Green Lantern flop (and it's been a troubled production), it won't hurt Lively much. Says the manager, "Whatever the mistakes were with Green Lantern, she needs to not react to them and do an indie movie just because a big superhero movie didn't work. It's always about the role and the director. The hotter the person, the easier it is, and she's very hot right now." The agent adds, "Even though Green Lantern is supposed to be terrible, it doesn't mean it's not going to do extremely well and enhance her foreign value. Clash of the Titans was horrendous, but it didn't slow down Sam Worthington any."
Hu-wah!? As Wilding points out, despite some grumblings within fan circles, response has been positive and there has never been any talk of a trouble on set. There were some reshoots recently, but that's par for the course on big budget, effects laden productions. Of course, the agent could know something we don't … or could just be talking of his (or her) ass. Time will, of course, tell.
Starring Ryan Reynolds, release date: June 17th, 2011
Here's a new Italian poster for the film, thanks to everyeye.it (via Badtaste.it):
Release date: TBA
Is this the face of the Red Skull?
Josh Wilding and another scooper at CBM spotted Halloween costumes related to the film, including the Red Skull in a full Hydra clothes:
Starring Chris Evans, release date: July 22nd, 2011
Actor Jon Hamm tells MTV News he has "aged out" of the role and can therefore not play Superman:
That doesn't preculde him from playing Captain Marvel, though.
Release date: 2012?
Director Michel Gondry tells The Los Angeles Times Hero Complex blog that he was something of a hired gun on the movie, with Seth Rogen being the more important asset to the studio. "I felt, 'Well, it's not really my movie.' I accepted that. But I realized there was still tons I could infiltrate or infuse my personality through discussion all the time," he says. The director did not have final cut and both he and Rogen discuss how the "Gangsta's Paradise" moment in the film was not the director's choice.
Staring Seth Rogen, release date: January 14th, 2011
According to Deadline, the "Alien" prequel plan has evolved into something new — "Prometheus." Director Ridley Scott explains, "While 'Alien' was indeed the jumping off point for this project, out of the creative process evolved a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place. The keen fan will recognize strands of 'Alien's' DNA, so to speak, but the ideas tackled in this film are unique, large and provocative." The film will star Noomi Rapace as scientist Elizabeth Shaw and — wait, didn't Doctor Who have an assistant named Elizabeth Shaw? Didn't she happen to be a scientist? Hmmmm. Anyway, Fox has announced a release date and with this item, I can retire another "Begins" tag.
Release date: March 9th, 2012
TV Line reports some chatter from the Golden Globes about the second season. "We've already set a benchmark, which is to shock people and enthrall people. I hope we can keep adding to that and growing," says star Andrew Lincoln. "We all have a lot to atone for and that's gonna keep brewing," adds co-star Sarah Wayne Callies.
Airs: 2011
I finally sat down to watch "The Social Network" and was pleasantly surprised. As some of you may know, my faith in director David Fincher was shattered with the release of "Benjamin Button," a slow, passionless, shameless award-grab. Before that time, I believed Fincher could do no wrong. Then he did. While my faith is still gone, I can at least trust him because the story of Facebook's creation is told with that cold passion I expect from the director of "Zodiac" and "Fight Club." Despite being a film of nothing but people talking it moves at breakneck pace and jumps around in time with giddy abandon. It is a truly good film. Meanwhile, if any of you in the great, wide Internet discover something awesome, disheartening, or just plain weird, let us know! Take credit, come up with a clever nickname, or go anonymous. The choice is yours. Fresh rumors and movie news every weekday morning. I am Erik Amaya, bracing for the future threat of Fincher's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" remake.

What book has your favorite cover art?
For me, the cover art of a book is a big deal, especially if it's a book I love. I think it's the artist in me. I want to have a beautiful copy of my book that I can display, and that really conveys the atmosphere of the book. For me, that involves a simple list of criteria:
- Not a photo. For me, unless the book is a biography or non-fiction book, a photo is just not the right solution for a cover. Invest in some art instead of giving me some anonymous lady in a dress.
- It should be a hardback. Don't get me wrong, I own plenty of paperback books, but if it's a book I love and plan to go back to, I want to have a hardback version.
- I prefer the art to be on the hardcover, not just the dust jacket. And honestly, if you want to get rid of the dust jacket, that's fine by me. Most of my favorite books don't have them.
So what are my favorites?
I can't get over the beauty of the Discworld Hardback Library from Orion Publishing – the Gollancz imprint. I personally own copies of Good Omens and the entire Death Collection, which includes: Mort, Reaper Man, Soul Music, and Hogfather. Because these are British editions, if you would like a copy, you will most likely need to go through the Book Depository. Don't worry, though. The prices are great, and they do free shipping worldwide.
I also love the Barnes and Noble Collectible Editions. They are a great (and inexpensive) way to get beautiful copies of some classic novels, and series, along with a few of the newer popular books. I personally love that I have one book that holds the entire Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy collection and that it has the words "Don't Panic" in large friendly letters on the back.
What about you? What kind of cover art do you like?
I have used affiliate links for the books in this post. Using an affiliate link to purchase any of these books won't cost you any more, but it does help pay for website hosting and other expenses - like buying more books.

An Apple a Day
McGlasson's Fruit Farm
Tobacco is still Kentucky's number one cash crop, but apples are in the top 10. In this segment, Kentucky Life visits a Northern Kentucky family that's been in the apple-growing business for five generations.
At their farm near Taylorsport, in Boone County, the McGlassons grow apples and other fruits and vegetables and operate a cider mill. Lately they also have found themselves getting into the tour business, with busloads of schoolchildren descending upon them every fall.
The farm is located on Kentucky Route 8 near Taylorsport.

As Far West as You Can Go
Life in Kentucky's western tip
To get to Kentucky's westernmost point by land, you have to go through Tennessee. At the New Madrid or Kentucky Bend, the Mississippi River dips south and then doubles back to the northwest before finally turning south again. In the 1820s, a joint Kentucky-Tennessee commission (formed after a bitter border dispute that included an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and even a threat of forced occupation by Kentucky) finally drew a state line that cuts right through the river's two hairpin bends, creating an isolated "peninsula" that belongs to Kentucky but is almost completely surrounded by the river.
Today, the people of the bend are mostly farmers. In this segment, we visit some of them and learn how the odd geography of the region has shaped their lives.
