This inaugural piece of MamaDotta, was inspired by the birth of my daughter, Zadah Enheduanna Dallal Gannon-O'Gara. As her name exemplifies, names can signify and embody multiple things: family history, the place and time one is born in, and the dreams of the parents.
I was named after my great-grandmother who immigrated to the United States from Iraq. And in turn named my daughter in honor of my grandmother. Zadah's middle name, Enheduanna, is after a bronze-age Sumerian poet and priestess in the temple of Inanna, goddess of love and fertility. Gannon-O'Gara is the hyphenated result of two Irish surnames from my husband's parents.
The migration of these families, from east and west and converging in the United States, has resulted in the birth of this child. Our piece references ancient fertility figures, Irish and Coptic Madonnas, and mothering from a distance, since we are collaborating from opposite sides of the country.

Life is bookended by birth and death. It is the one thing all living things have in common. What happens before birth or after death is a mystery, source of endless imaginings. Are we born as unique and original personalities, or do we carry memories and traits from past lives? Beyond the biological, what emotional, philosophical, or cultural information do our genes confer on us?
"Interlude" is a space to imagine this state between non-being and being. Temporary structure/den/womb. Volcanic cracks in the earth/rivers/stretch marks on skin. One shape echoes the other in repeating patterns and cycles that form a circular structure framing life as we know it.

Nkosentsha Shezi of the National Funeral Practitioners' Association of SA said they were calling on as many people as possible to rally behind Zuma when he appeared before Judge Themba Sishi in the Durban High Court on charges of money laundering, corruption and racketeering on Friday.
Shezi said business forums had met at the Durban Pavilion Hotel last week to discuss support for Zuma.
"Different business forums appreciated the fact that president Zuma is no longer the head of state and, therefore, supporting him is not a ticket to tenders or any form of favours. The forums agreed to unite one hundred percent behind Zuma as the father of RET (radical economic transformation) and land expropriation without compensation."
Shezi described Zuma as the first president to declare expropriation of land without compensation and the person responsible for bringing hope for the restoration of the dignity of African people.
"(We) respect the rule of law and we uphold the notion of innocence until proven otherwise. As such, we are calling upon all people of South Africa to rally behind this giant champion of RET and go to Durban High Court on April 6," he said.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker said they had not been made aware of any road closures scheduled for Friday, however, communication would be relayed to media houses during the week should there be any.
Kwazi Mshengu of the KwaZulu-Natal ANC Youth League said they had not planned any events surrounding Zuma's court appearance because the ANC national executive had made a decision that no party structure or leagues should be used to mobilise support for anyone facing criminal charges.
"As the ANCYL, we have to respect that and so those who will be attending the court case will do so in their personal capacity," he said.

Dienhart: How the Michigan Wolverines found their NCAA tourney mission
There has been no better story this March then the improbable run of the Michigan Wolverines.
It began down the stretch of the regular season, when Michigan finished on a roll. A big turning point in the season was after a 16-point loss to Illinois. That's when Illini big man Maverick Morgan uttered a quote that seems destined to go down in Wolverine lore.
"They are more of a white-collar team traditionally and at Illinois we're about toughness and together," Morgan told reporters after the 85-69 Illinois win in Champaign. "Not that they're not but we kind of pride ourselves on defense and that's something we've been working to get better at."
The connotation: The Wolverines were soft. At that point on Jan. 11, the Wolverines stood at a crossroads of sorts with an 11-6 overall record and a 1-3 Big Ten mark. Soon thereafter, a team meeting was called. But that didn't get the team all the way back.
More humility was needed. And, Ohio State provided it.
The rival Buckeyes came to Ann Arbor on Feb. 4 and whipped Michigan, 70-66. That made the Wolverines 14-9 overall and 4-6 in the Big Ten. It was Michigan's second loss in a row. The Wolverines' finesse image seemed to be reinforced in this game, as Michigan's rep for being soft on defense and around the basket was underscored.
This was a game Michigan was favored to win — against an opponent that didn't shoot well. Bottom line: The Wolverines lost because they were outworked on the glass and couldn't deal with the Buckeyes' size and athletic ability.
"Sometimes, it was about the bounce of the ball," D.J. Walton said after the OSU defeat. "Sometimes, it was just those guys keeping the ball alive with just great effort. I wouldn't say our effort wasn't there. I would just say that maybe their effort was a little bit more at times."
A lack of effort? Unacceptable.
So, the white collar label was followed by a brutal home loss vs. a less-than-great Ohio State. Those events set Michigan on a new trajectory that changed the course of what is becoming a magical season.
"Our guys have had quite a wild ride here in the last six weeks, [after] we lost to Ohio State at home," Michigan coach John Beilein said. "It was lower than low at that point for us, to lose a home game to a rival."
After the Ohio State loss, the Wolverines finished strong—winning six of eight games to close the season. And they looked to make some noise in the Big Ten tourney, while solidifying an NCAA bid. Entering the postseason event, Michigan was projected by most to be a No. 10 seed. The bubble? It wasn't far away. The Wolverines needed to play well in the Big Ten tourney. Go one-and-down, and the Wolverines possibly may not go to the Big Dance.
That's when the team's season took an unexpected turn that served as an even more galvanizing force than a disparaging quote and ugly home loss, a unifying experience more powerful than anything that could take place on the court: The team endured its plane careening off the runway on an aborted takeoff on the way to the league tourney in Washington, D.C.
Afterward, Beilein had his team vote on if it wanted to fly out the next day or just stay home and forfeit. The team voted to go. Arriving just hours before its opening game vs. Illinois, Michigan was a force in the victory. And, the team just kept on winning—all the way to the league tourney title in taking four games in four days.
Tired legs?
Emotionally spent?
Nope. This was a team on a mission.
"Ever since then our kids sort of put their backs to the wall and have played really good basketball," Beilein said. "There's been two losses, one in overtime at Minnesota and one on a heroic great play by Northwestern, and other than that we've played really good basketball for those six weeks and couldn't be prouder of our group of young men."
No. 7 seed Michigan will take on No. 3 Oregon tonight in the Sweet 16 in Kansas City. And, at this point, you almost expect the Wolverines to win. The already have knocked off No. 11 Oklahoma State and No. 2 Louisville in the NCAA tourney.
If Michigan tops the Ducks, it will take on the winner of No. 4 Purdue vs. No. 1 Kansas. Anything seems possible for the Wolverines, who are 12-2 in their last 14 games.
"It's a matter of finding a way to win," said Beilein. "The difference isn't much, guys, but if you all give a little bit more, right? We have to will stuff to happen. You have to work hard. I really stressed the outlier things, too, and all our staff did. When you have great kids to work with, they'll believe and you they trust you."
Maybe all the way to the Final Four.

The six-pack abs is now the trend and every man's dream. However, it is not an easy task to get the desired body. All people are born with different features and different body structures. While some will have beautiful sculpted body without trying much hard for it, others will have to try too hard to keep the excess fat at bay. Earning a six pack abs is a really tough job. You have to really lead a disciplined life to get those packs. However, the job can be made easier with six packs abs liposuction procedure. Sometimes, the diet and the hard exercises do not help you to get the desired body that you always dreamt of. Therefore, the liposuction procedure might be a solution for you.
It is better to consult a cosmetic surgeon in Singapore before moving ahead with the plan of liposuction. One can opt for Vaser liposuction in Singapore, which is an excellent method for body-sculpting and contouring. The procedure involves injecting fluid into the body tissues to ease the operation. Known as the super-wet technique, local anesthesia and adrenaline is injected to the patient's body. This helps in breaking up the fat deposits. The Vaser procedure works between the skin layer and the muscle layer, where a small probe is made to transmit the sound energy to break the fat deposited tissues. This way you get a well-shaped body. The method is undoubtedly safe and effective. Once the fat is melted, a small cannula or a tube is inserted under the skin to suck out the excess fat from the body. The process is used without damaging other types of tissues.
After the melting out of the fat, it is suctioned out of the body through small cannula without causing harm to other tissue structures. The plastic surgeon deposits fats in the required area to create a more muscular look. The same method is used to accentuate other parts of the body. After the completion of the surgery, the incisions are closed and the patient is sent for recovery and is monitored for a brief period. The entire procedure takes about 6-hours to complete. The method of treatment is painless and takes a time of one to two weeks to recover. The risk is minimal in the procedure and the healing is fast in Singapore as compared to the tumescent liposuction.
With a little discipline and a better lifestyle, you can be the proud owner of those packs for a lifetime.

"You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free." – Thich Nhat Hanh
What would it be like to expect nothing from another?
Can you contemplate it?
Having expectations that others meet your needs is at the heart of all struggle in your life. When you habitually expect from others to make you happy, you end up living a life that is not your own. You live a re-occurring experience of longing, disappointment, anger, frustration, sadness. Like a 'Puppet on a String' you depend on someone completely and as you do this you expect them to change… for you.
Rather than experience and accept the negative feeling/s that arise in you, your default is to blame the other person for causing your suffering in the first place.
Most of the time you may not be aware that you are living your life 'in waiting mode' for your expectations to be met. This is ok when the waters are calm with no storm in sight. But when you feel let down, not considered, abandoned, the reality of feeling both tied and denied can be hard to cope with. You wonder how has your situation come to this whilst continuing to look outside of yourself for the answers.
Relationship struggle, suffering or break-down is inevitable when our personal well-being and happiness depends on it. You leave yourself without the capacity to see beyond what you crave, with no opportunity to locate options or possibilities for your present never mind your future.
So what would it be like to contemplate a way of being that expects nothing from another?
Grasping what this would mean for your life and it's direction involves you becoming aware of the people and situations that trigger negative reactions within you. This takes time and practice. This takes patience. This takes a new relationship with yourself.
Today when you find yourself looking to another for the solution to something you really want start with asking yourself the following three questions (don't expect immediate answers!!)
1. What do I want from this situation?
2. How would I like to feel when I have it?
3. What can I do to better support myself in the mean-time?
Relationships need space and understanding in order for them to function and to flourish. You are a key part of any relationship you have. Learn to give Yourself space, understanding and compassion when you need to. You deserve it.

Serge Gainsbourg Exhibition in Paris
6 May 2016
Discover the Passionate Life of France's Most Revolutionary Artist via Iconic Photographs
If you were born between 1950 and 1990, you've probably heard of Serge Gainsbourg. You may have mumbled his beautiful French songs and been amazed by his inner talent for provocative behaviour (he once burnt a 500 Francs note on live TV and created controversy with a new version of La Marseillaise). If you haven't heard of him, it's time to make amends. Serge is one of France's most iconic singers, songwriters, composers and musicians; and someone everyone loves to hate. He's dated many beautiful women, and brought a revolutionary feel to a conservative, pre-May 68 French culture. He was called "L'homme à la tête de chou", "the man with a cabbage head" because of his huge ears and what he describes himself as an "ungrateful face", and was undoubtedly the incarnation of the ultimate troubled French poet.
This spring, Galerie de L'instant is hosting an outstanding exhibition showing photographs of Gainsbourg during diverse moments of his life. The venue has previously welcomed the biggest names in photography and art (think Bruce Weber, Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe) and always wanted to present celebrities in a more intimate way than what the audience tends to see of them. On the wooden floor of this small, square room, framed pictures that appear to be waiting to get hung are setting a subtle, organised mess that add to the vintage, intimate feel of the venue. Until 31st May, this 3rd arrondissement gallery offers the chance to admire these shots and aims to enhance Gainsbourg's secretive personality…
Sometimes with Jane Birkin, his partner for 12 years and mother of his daughter Charlotte, sometimes with other beauties, sometimes on his own…these black and white pictures of the artist unveil celebrity events and simple moments of his daily life. You'll feel touched by his tired gaze when he faces the camera sat in his living-room, moved by his tender kiss on Jane's cheek and amused by the multiple shots taken during parties. More than an exhibition, Serge Gainsbourg stands as a fascinating journey into the artist's life. Tony Frank, the man behind the camera, is known to have photographed rock stars and iconic characters such as Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan and Madonna – also in monochrome pictures and with an exclusive look at their lives.
The writer of Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus, an ode to his passionate romance with Brigitte Bardot, will be honoured in his favourite city, Paris, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his death. An homage with a common thread between the photographs: the beauty and purity of the mind of a man who thought himself so ugly all his life. Expect a moment of pure poesy and take the opportunity to travel back to France in the mid-60s and early 70s, when provocation and bohemianism were a way of life…

LEIA LARSEN • Standard-Examiner Staff
California's Owens Valley is the source of some of the worst pollution in the nation, but for many it's still an attractive place to make a life.
There's skiing nearby at Mammoth Mountain, hiking at Mount Whitney and a desert playground to the south, in Death Valley.
Sound familiar?
"Wide open spaces," Phil Kiddoo, a lifelong resident, said. "It's actually very similar to Utah."
Kiddoo began working at the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District 12 years ago. He's intimately familiar with the effects of a lake decimated by human diversions.
"I was born and raised here, this is my home," Kiddoo said. "I took my first breath here, and I'll take my last breath here."
Like Owens Valley, the Wasatch Front is subject to some bouts of bad air. Like Owens Valley, Utah has cities and towns filled with people who suffer through the bad air for myriad other benefits. Like Owens Valley, the Salt Lake Valley shares a name with the large saline lake at its heart.
But the Great Salt Lake still has one thing Owens doesn't anymore: water.
The now-dry lake shows how much worse air quality in Utah could get if the Great Salt Lake continues to shrivel — and what that problem could cost. Specifically, sky-high water fees and painful or deadly health effects.
A century ago, a 12-mile long and 8-mile wide saline lake fed by the Owens River sat just south of Mount Whitney. Two hundred miles to the south, the city of Los Angeles was rapidly growing and in search of new sources of water.
Through a mixture of brilliance and deception, ambitious engineering and crooked cajoling, the Los Angeles mayor and city water superintendent pried water rights from Owens Valley farmers and bought up most of the property in the valley. In 1913, they began piping water from the Owens River, the only source of water for Owens Lake.
With its only water inlet flowing south to the artificially green city, the lakebed dried. After a few decades, winds began kicking around dust contaminated with heavy metals. The Owens Valley area became the nation's largest single source of PM 10 air pollution — dust particles small enough to embed into the lungs. The tiny pollutants can cause a slew of health problems, among them, aggravated asthma, inflammation and lung cancer.
In 1989, The Los Angeles Times reported some of the health effects on Owens Valley residents — "... bloody noses, watery eyes and irritated lungs."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency figures about 40,000 residents, plus visitors and employees of the nearby Inyo National Forest, suffered health consequences of inhaling the dust.
In 1970, the U.S. Congress passed the Clean Air Act, which required air quality monitoring and established air quality standards. The problem in Owens Valley was measured. Residents finally had a mechanism to sue for relief.
"The district was able to require dust control abatement at the expense of Los Angeles Water and Power," Kiddoo said. "They were the ones held accountable."
Clearing the air didn't come fast or cheap, but this time, residents of the Owens Valley prevailed.
Almost 100 years since water began flowing down the Los Angeles Aqueduct, Los Angeles ratepayers have spent $2 billion on mitigation in the Owens Valley and will likely spend $75 million each year going forward to keep down the dust. Mitigation efforts include planting saltgrass, spreading gravel and wetting the lakebed with sprinklers and shallow flooding.
Story continues below time lapse. Click or tap "play" to watch the dry Owens Lake change over time.
About 15 percent of L.A. residents' water bills now go to Owens Valley dust control.
The lakebed of the Great Salt Lake is almost 16 times larger than Owens Lake was. In comparison to the 40,000 people near Owens Lake, about 2 million people live directly next to Great Salt Lake.
Last year, about 50 percent of the Great Salt Lake's bed was exposed.
Given all the expense of mitigation, why didn't Los Angeles simply return water back to Owens Lake?
Money, mostly. Draining Owens Lake and sending the water 200 miles south is still considered to be more cost effective and "green" way of getting water, said James Yannotta, who oversees the Los Angeles Aqueduct for the Department of Water and Power.
"The Los Angeles Aqueduct is strictly gravity fed," Yannota said, explaining it also generates an enormous amount of hydro power.
As Los Angeles continues to grow, officials are looking locally for new sources of water, especially as they come out of the worst drought in California history. It turns out conservation has become the new water strategy.
Lake Abert, Oregon
Lake Abert in eastern Oregon nearly dried up in 2014, causing brine shrimp populations to crash and a significant drop in visits from migratory birds.
Mono Lake, California
Mono Lake sits 40 feet lower with half the volume than it would have naturally. Its decline is a result of diversions on the lake's freshwater tributary streams. Those diversions pipe water 350 miles south down an aqueduct to Los Angeles. But the situation at Mono Lake could've been much worse.
Owens Lake, California
Dust billows off the dried bed of Owens Lake in Inyo County, California in March 2010. The lake dried after water diversion from the City of Los Angeles and became the largest source of PM 10 pollution in the United States.
Great Salt Lake, Utah
The decline of Utah's largest lake, which has no outlet, would have rippling impacts on the area's wildlife. But waters feeding the lake are important for the state's agricultural industry, too.
Explore our series "Losing the Great Salt Lake" to find out more.
Lahontan Wetlands, Nevada
Like the Great Salt Lake, the Lahontan wetlands are recognized as a site of hemispheric importance for migrating waterfowl and shorebirds, supporting populations of American avocets, American white pelicans and white-faced ibis.
They enforce watering restrictions. They've cleaned up the groundwater supply. They've upped their ability to recapture stormwater. They encourage low-flow toilets and discourage maintaining grassy lawns.
"We need to look at what the new normal is," Yannotta said. "There will tend to be more dry years versus wet years ... I believe the residents of Los Angeles do understand that. People are using a lot less than they did 30 years ago."
But that doesn't mean L.A. residents appreciate the fraught, century-old history behind their taps.
"I'm sure a lot of people just take it for granted — they turn on the faucet and the water's there, they turn on a switch and the power is there," he said.
Kiddoo said the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District now has a great relationship with the City of Los Angeles. Owens Valley is close to meeting national air quality standards, although it's not quite there. But the flux of the political climate still keeps Kiddooo up at night.
"We are very strongly based in science at this agency, which is great and works well. But we're still beholden to political influence," he said. "It can flip on a dime. Lawsuits are filed, relationships become difficult. We've been there in the history of this agency before."
As to whether there's anything for Utahns to learn about Owens Lake and the future of the Great Salt Lake, especially as future water projects are touted as the solution to meet the state's urban growth, Kiddoo urges vigilence and proactivity.
"It's hard to invest energy when you don't know for certain what's going to happen. But if you do the science, and the science shows you or tells a story, it's worth answering the call to action," he said.

Love Islander Jack Fincham has already made an impression on the show and has everybody talking about his teeth.
Why, do you ask? And you probably don't ask, but I'll tell you anyway, it's because they're really white. Super white.
It turns out he went to Turkey to get them done, which I'm told, is because it costs less, and viewers have been having an absolute field day on Twitter as you can imagine.
Here's an idea:

Even Love Island narrator Iain Sterling said:
The bedroom lighting will be provided by Jack's gnashers.
The 26-year-old certainly has a big, bright smile, courtesy of veneers, but photos of him before have now surfaced.
And when I say 'surfaced', I mean somebody, somewhere, has trawled through his Instagram page and found some.
Here they are:
Now, I couldn't be less bothered, but if I do have to comment on them, they're absolutely fine as they were, a little less radiant, yes.
People have also been talking about his resemblance to another two 'reality' stars.
Can you guess who that might be?
Joey Essex and James Argent.
Yep, people think he looks like the love child (if it were possible) of the two The Only Way Is Essex stars.

It's not just Jack everybody's talking about. Fellow contestant Adam Collard caused quite a stir when he revealed his age on the programme.
Adam was tasked with being the destroyer of love on the show, as he entered the villa after all the couples had already been paired up.
Basically, he had the challenge of stealing one of the girls from their new-found love interest. *Insert eye roll*
Adam, who's a personal trainer, was trying to win over the girls in the house when he revealed his age.
Here's Adam, in case you don't watch the show:
You see, Adam revealed he was only 22-years-old, and the minds of those watching across the country were simultaneously blown.
Viewers absolutely refused to believe this, and tweeted their comments.
One viewer wrote:
The only way Adam is 22 is if he was born on a leap year.
Did I hear right? Adam is 22? The kid looks mid 30's ? #LoveIsland
— David Stevenson (@David2Stevenson) June 4, 2018
Another added:
Did I hear right? Adam is 22? The kid looks mid 30's
The series started on Monday night (June 4) and alongside Adam and Jack, the show welcomed other contestants to the villa.
The stars this year are Samira Mighty, Kendall Rae-Knight, Hayley Hughes, Laura Anderson, Dani Dyer, Niall Aslam, Eyal Booker, Adam Collard, Jack Fincham, Wes Nelson and Dr. Alex George.
Twitter users have been making lists of the contestants and judging them.

How to do Good Work and Influence People November 26, 2015
When it comes to business, we all agree on one thing: we all want to succeed. Typically we measure success numerically – the more profit we make the better we're doing. Sure, we'd all like to make billions, but the reality is most of us are not going to turn our businesses into Facebook or Apple. For many people in business, just keeping the doors open and the lights on is succeeding.
Peter Ricchiuti's guests on Out to Lunch take whatever your definition of success is – whether it's making a fortune or just making it till Friday – and help you get there.
Aimee Adatto Freeman is the founder of Aimee Freeman Consulting and an Adjunct Professor of Business Studies at Tulane University. For the past 20 plus years Aimee has been concentrating on improving business results by teaching business owners and executives to communicate more effectively, with some remarkable results.
Phyllis Cassidy is the founder and director of the Good Work Network. Good Work Network provides business development services to minority and women-owned businesses. Since 2001 Phyllis and her team have worked with nearly 4,000 small businesses and helped start up or support 600 of them.

Read Matt Pearson on the link between Gove, Free Schools and recent civil unrest
'Before the riots and civil unrest came to dominate the news, the Independent carried a story about the Diaspora Free School whose application had been rejected http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/free-school-to-combat-gang-culture-turned-down-by-gove-2331385.html. The school planned to open in Lewisham with a specific focus on helping young people address the issue of gang culture. The school's application was turned down despite being led by two experienced teachers and despite having 110 expressions of interest in parents for 120 places. Everything about this proposal seems to be right in terms of my understanding of what Gove wants from his free school project. Firstly it is being set up as a result of local need, secondly it has plans to do something meaningful with the curricula freedom which being a free school confers and thirdly it is looking to do something different and innovative, perhaps pushing others schools in the area to try harder faced with this new competition. The teachers behind the project described the rejection of their proposal as 'patronising flippancy'. There are now serious concerns that the approval process for Free Schools is complex and opaque; the very opposite of the ideology of supply side reforms which attracted Michael Gove to this neo-liberal policy innovation…read more it.ly/o6rOvh

Riese & Müller Supercharger GX Rohloff HS
The Supercharger GX Rohloff HS from Riese & Müller is the Rolls Royce of electric bikes, and an amazing experience as a speed e-bike.
New E-14 Electronic Shifting on 2019 Models
New for 2019, and in response to huge customer demand, E-14 electronic shifting now comes as standard. At the touch of a button, the Rohloff responds instantaneously with smooth, effortless shifting. Sheer luxury in itself.
With an assisted speed of 45 km/h (28 miles/hour), this speed e-bike takes cycling to another level.
At the heart of this top of the range ebike is the Rohloff gearing. Its huge transmission ratio, over 520%, with 14-speed hub gears puts the Supercharger GX Rohloff HS in a class of its own. The Rohloff has been developed for both pros and performance oriented hobby cyclists who can appreciate it because of its reliability. Perfect single gear ratios, wide range of gears, low maintenance and easy operation. Its weight and efficiency are ideal even for pro racing. The sealed gearbox ensures reliability and durability even under the toughest conditions.
The even increments of 13.6% between gears make it possible to ride continuously at peak performance. The overall range makes sure that you always have access to the right gear regardless of situation. Pure fun is guaranteed. Make no mistake, the Rohloff is practically bullet proof, maintenance free and represents the ultimate in gear shifting. There is no wear on the indexing system nor is there any need to adjust it.
Furthermore, fitted as standard is the silent and bomb-proof Gates carbon drive belt for even greater luxury.
2 x 500Wh Bosch PowerTubes as Standard
The GX Rohloff version of the Supercharger is one of several in Riese & Müller's range. Each one features stunning new technology and unique design.The 2019 Supercharger comes as standard with 2 x 500Wh Bosch PowerTubes. Both are beautifully and cleverly integrated into RM's unique frame design.
Riese & Müller is doubling the range of its electric bikes with dual battery technology by adding a second battery, but that's not all. Both batteries can be charged at the same time. Both batteries deliver power to the bike at the same time also. Depending on your needs, you can also use just one battery to go on a ride. Its dual battery technology puts Riese & Müller at the top of its class in terms of riding range.
Most striking is its multi-award-winning design, followed by its athletic features. The Supercharger models are like a six-pack cast in aluminium. A precisely-conceived geometry guarantee the ultimate in riding comfort. The Bosch Performance Speed drive rated at 60Nm delivers power above and beyond with its high torque. With 2 x 500Wh batteries as standard, the Supercharger GX Rohloff HS simply keeps on going. With its tremendous 350W motor, the GX Rohloff HS is capable of conquering any mountain and terrain. Hydraulic Magura MT4 disc brakes provide unrivalled braking performance. A strong Busch & Müller high intensity lamp on the front illuminates the road ahead. The rear tail light is again provided by BM, a Supernova M99.
Enhanced Rider Comfort
The Supercharger GX Rohloff comes with some nifty anti-theft features too. An ABUS Bordo Plus wheel lock mounted behind the seatpost prevents opportunistic theft. Both the ABUS and battery lock share the same key, which means you only need one key to do both jobs. The standard Intuvia Display or optional Kiox Display provide all rider information clearly and concisely. Pleasing aesthetics continue thanks to hidden cable runs under the top tube and through the frame. Furthermore, a Cane Creek Thudbuster ST suspension seatpost ensures ultra rider comfort.
The GX Rohloff HS Supercharger has to be the ultimate in luxury.
Cycle Computer options:
Bosch Kiox + £94.00

I was picking through some vintage circus posters over the last couple of days, and I was hit with inspiration to create a new masthead for December. Then, my obsessive side took over, and now I can't see through the fog of my dehydrated corneas.
It was worth it, though. In fact, I like it so much that I couldn't put off sticking it into my template, so that's why it's up there right now, even though it declares that it's December.
My apologies go out to anyone who might have a a fear of clowns or exceedingly long tongues.

Our intrepid member profiler, Jessica Darling of Stantec, is back to introduce us to Kirsten Papagni of Columbia Construction Company.
Kirsten Papagni's career of A/E/C Professional Services spans more than 20 years and includes recognition as one of Boston's 2013 Certified Professional Services Marketers (CPSM). There's no doubt that Kirsten knows the ins and outs of the industry. Currently the Director of Marketing, Kirsten is moving into her seventh year at Columbia Construction Company. As an SMPS member in years past, Kirsten used to call upon fellow members as a professional resource and encourages newer marketers to reach out and do the same. Back to basics, Kirsten has returned to SMPS with a lot to offer our Chapter – starting with this interview.
What was your path to finding a career in A/E/C marketing?
My undergraduate degree was a BFA from the University of Connecticut (UConn), with additional studies at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt). As a hobby artist with an interest in interior design – I loved to learn. Without 'career student' being a recognized option though, I made my start in freelancing. Still interested in design, and looking for a more focused career, I took inspiration from my father who is an engineer. He's a role model of mine, so I eventually traded my freelance shoes in for a 9-5 job at a local engineering firm. I fell into A/E/C marketing at that point and have been with it ever since.
What about this career path has kept you engaged?
I like the fact that our roles in this industry are so fluid. It's always interesting and offers a good challenge. That's all I can ask for in a career!

Erik Šille: error
Kunsthalle Bratislava presents a solo exhibition of Erik Šille – one of the leading representatives of the boom of Slovak painting after 2000.
The exhibition is an overview of the work of Erik Šille (*1978, Rožňava), one of the leading representatives of the "boom" of Slovak painting after 2000.
The distinctive style of the author draws on the animated world of comic characters, commercials, and everyday banality, which acquire an existential, apocalyptic expression in his paintings. The dialogue of art history with the world of pop culture creates new contemporary pseudo-myths and hybrid fairytales.
The opening of the exhibition will also include an introduction of the monograph catalogue entitled Šťastie je na dosah/Fortune Is Within Reach, which maps and evaluates the work of Erik Šille. The band Modré Hory will take care of the accompanying program.

The Encouragement of Kindness to Animals in Children-danger of Infection from Domestic Pets-why it is Wrong to Allow Children to be Licked by their Dog-the Care of Outdoor Pets
-Isolation of Sick Animals
Everybody must acknowledge that it is a good thing to teach children affection and kindness to animals. The child who is deliberately cruel to a cat has been badly brought up if he is mentally and morally sane. Nursery pets can be utilised to teach children a great many virtues if they are made responsible for their feeding and care.
There is, however, another side to the question, a more dangerous one from the health and hygienic point of view. A great many diseases are transmissible from animals to the human species. Infectious disease can be carried by a cat, whilst skin affections are very often traced to infection from domestic animals. Cats, for example, frequently suffer from sore throats, and diphtheria can be contracted from kissing one. The same thing is true of influenza. A dog will carry the microbes of scarlet fever on his coat if allowed in the same bed or room with a patient suffering from the disease.
Some mothers are extremely foolish about domestic animals. They never teach children that it is wrong to kiss animals, or even to bury their chubby faces in their coats. One has only to reflect for a moment upon the haunts of the domestic cat, in her peregrinations through the lanes and back ways of the towns, to come to the conclusion that the juxtaposition of the child's face and the cat is not desirable. One of the rules in the nursery should be that, while children are allowed to stroke the animals, they must not be permitted to get into the habit of kissing them or bringing them in contact with their faces.
Another rule should be that cat or dog must never be allowed to repose upon the children's beds. More than fleas can be deposited upon the eiderdown. The cat, for example, may contract favus, a very objectionable skin disease, from the mice she hunts, and transmit it to the child with whom she sleeps. The dog may be suffering from any number of ailments which make it unsuitable for him to sleep in the same room with children.
Animals, further, should be fed elsewhere than in the nursery. The spectacle of a cat sitting on the same chair as a child and trying to poke its head on the same plate is more than objectionable. It is dangerous, just as it is dangerous for animals to lick off the children's plates after meals, because these may not be efficiently washed in the kitchen.
The outdoor pets are less objectionable. They are not using up the fresh air required by the children. There is no danger of them interfering with the children's meals or sleeping in their beds. At the same time, tame mice and white rats, when handled by the children, will transmit many skin affections of an infectious order. Even the rabbit is not above reproach, but the danger is diminished considerably in every case it the child is taught proper hygienic precautions. The animals should be kept perfectly clean, for one thing. If they are clean and healthy, they are not so likely to contract infectious disease themselves. The children must learn that animals should not be handled unnecessarily, and that affection should be expressed in words rather than caresses.
Another point is that the children should not be allowed to come in contact with a sick animal. It is a good plan to isolate the family cat or terrier if it shows signs of sickness or symptoms of even cold in the head. The sneezing, coughing cat, with running eyes and nose, will spread infection to half a dozen children. Cats can suffer from most of the infectious ailments contracted by human beings, and it is very probable that influenza, diphtheria, and all sorts of catarrhs will spread freely through her agency.
Thus it can be seen that mothers ought to be more alive than they are to the risks of nursery pets. When there is a young infant in the nursery the wisest course is to keep the animals outside. It is quite an easy matter for a cat to smother a baby by the simple process of lying on its chest. The lick of a dog is well meant, but the baby's face is better without such tokens of affection, whilst animals often suffer from jealousy, and with an angry snap inflict a nasty bite on a child.
The other side of the question, of course, must not be forgotten. Children naturally love animals and like to have their company, and so long as the mother understands and guards against the risks enumerated above, there is no reason why they should be abolished altogether from the children's quarters. Let them be kept in their own place on the hearthrug, not on the chairs, tables, or beds. Let them be fed outside of the nursery. Above all, have them kept scrupulously clean if they are to come in contact with the children. Regular washing of the dog is a hygienic necessity, as well as a kindness to the animal in question. As a rule, the children take charge of their outdoor pets themselves, and they should be compelled to keep them clean and comfortable on the penalty of giving them up. In this way the child's sense of responsibility-is developed and all hygienic requirements are satisfied.

Any help is greatly appreciated! List of planned in-game features: ~A new story! ~A new evil team! (Like Team Rocket or Galactic) ~Hopefully over 100 new Pokémon! ~A few previous regions, plus a new one, Morto! (Name is still TBA, but this may work) ~Dark and Shadow Pokémon! ~New Deoxys Forms (Credit: soulsilver) ~New Items! ~New Trainers! ~Editing Trainer Appearance! (Clothes, Skin, Hair, etc.) ~Online Tournaments! (With in-game prizes!) ~Online Events! ~Battles against all previous protagonists: Red, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Wes, Michael, Lucas, Dawn, Touya, and Touko! (Touya and Touko being the Japanese names for the players in Black and White) ~Battles against all previous rivals: Blue, Silver, Wally, Barry, Cheren, and Bianca! (Blue will, however, be a gym leader) ~And more to be released later!! Just so there is no confusion, Amethyst WILL BE ON THE COMPUTER, not DS or any other gaming system, and THIS IS NOT A ROM HACK OR AN EDIT! A major pro of it being an online game is that I can update it (for glitch-fixing or just extras)! Also, Missingno and ??? Arceus will have data in my game, but only in case of glitches so that the game doesn't crash (However, I think beta testers might be able to get a working "glitch" Pokémon as a reward). Current Production Stage (CPS): Planning. Need concept art, ideas, and names. Current Projected Release Date (CPRD): March 27th, 2084; This could be lowered significantly with more help however.
ORAS Trade Requests
EVRose posted a topic in Pokémon RequestsHi, this is my first thread and I figured it might be the best way to get what I need. First off, none of these are for competitive play as I suck at it and probably won't bother with it until S&M are out. Second, I'm online usually every day from 6am to 8am SAT-MON (I work from 5:30pm to 6am so no internet or DS ) Tue-Fri from noon till midnight generally (PACIFIC TIME -8) I don't mind HOW you get them, as long as it'll count towards my Pokedex~!
I Just discovered a fued between Brock and Ash, Because Brock is in a public relationship with Misty on Facebook Here is the links to both Brock and Ash' facebook profiles.. it is great entertainment :-) Could be fun to interact and maybe solve their little issue Brock's profile: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010417475886 Ash's profile: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php...840276&fref=ts Misty's profile: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php...635188&fref=ts

Platinum: Complete Pokedex?
Gloryzap posted a topic in Saves - Editing Help:confused:I was wondering when Project Pokemon was coming out with a Pokesav Platinum with the Complete Pokedex feature, score editing feature, and some of the System Editing features.:confused:
Hi, please bear with me, I'm really new to this. I have recently enter battle area of pokemon platinum, it seems that I need a compete pokedex to enter resort area. I can't get a full pokedex with pokesav, so my question is where can I downlad a DSpokeEidter, or anything else that would do the trick. Thanks
Pokemon 3D
steffie2 posted a topic in Generation 5First, I wasn't sure where to post this. I did look around first. :confused: Now that the update is out for the 3DS, Nintendo has it's first Pokemon title on it. Best of all, it's free. Least of all, it's somewhat underwhelming. I played with it a while this morning and I like the look of it, but I felt that I just didn't know what to do with it. The sprites that were in it look great. All of the Pokemon have AR codes which I think is pretty neat. But I have no idea how to transfer my pokedex from my cart into it. Also, it would have been nice to be able to trade Pokemon indexes via wifi with people on my friends list. All I could find was via infrared search transfer. I hope it holds more promise than I saw at first glance.

site Our site's pokedex...
pokemonfan posted a topic in Project Pokémon FeedbackWell, our sites pokedex is currently being worked on and we even have a full list of all the 493 pokemon currently. However, for now there is no information on them. I'm hoping that this will come soon and if there are any updates on it I hope they will be posted here. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of our pokedex and if you are too or you don't think it matters much post your comments here. Plus any information on how soon the pokedex will arrive will be greatly appreciated! Comment! Project Pokemon's pokedex
Pokedex 2.0 creation
pokemonfan posted a topic in Generation 4Ok, so you know how project pokemon has their own wiki. Well do you also know that on the main Page of Project Pokemon there is a link to a pokedex yet there is nothing there yet. Well I'm not sure how in the whole scheme of things where that falls on the to do list but I know it is important to me. So the faster the people of PP have the information needed the better for the faster it can be released. So I was thinking that us as members should band together to create a pokedex worthy of recognition in the archives of worthy pokedexes. Yet it would be the best a Pokedex 2.0. So that means an entry on all 493 pokemon and something in detail. So this entry should include: Level up moves TM moves HM moves Egg moves What it says in the pokedex entry in game: it is different for all the games so use as many game entries as possible Stats like: Egg group Color Steps it takes to hatch exp points to get to 100 Also where we will find this pokemon in the wild Also, is it seen in anime. maybe include an anime discription. Plus pictures! Pictures pictures pictures! They spice up the reading and make it more enjoyable Now remember we want to be original here so don't use other fan sites to find this information example:bulbapedia, serrebi net, pokemon marriland no none of that stuff. You can use it to see what content they have to see if we have more but dont go like this: tm tm tm tm tm Its a list of tms a pokemon can know and you copy and paste it right onto our page. No that is for one:illegal, for two: that gives us a bad reputation. so dont copy them. I'm not sure if you can get images from the web on like a public image site like photo bucket. I'm pretty sure you can but maybe someone could double check for me. If you do want to join this project PM me and tell me you are going to be working on the ___ page so like the squirtle page. I'd really prefer if this was worked on in the national pokedex order. If you don't have the national pokedex yet you can go here to see the pokemon in national dex order so you can create pages for them here.

Can't we complete the Pokemon Platinum Pokedex?
monalisa posted a topic in Saves - Editing HelpGuys, I can't to complete the pokedex using the Pokemon Platinum Pokesav. Is everyone having the same problem as i do? THX in advance.
Hey guys, first time posting here. Not sure whether this belongs here but here goes. I hacked a Caterpie in my Platinum game. I didn't hatch it from an egg but took it straight from the box in the PC. Pretty retarded. Now, when I look at the summary for it, the Pokedex entry is ??? Is there any way to fix this? I've tried to meet it in a random encounter, I've tried hatching it, but it still doesn't get added T_T And I've already saved my game. Any help would be appreciated.

Code to erase Nat. Pokedex?
Black_Insomniac posted a topic in Pokémon RequestsWell i used to code to complete my Sinnoh Dex. Later, when i turned on my game without my AR, i talked to Rowan for the Nat. Dex but it was full so apparently the code filled both up 100%. Could someone with pokesav make a code that erases my Nat. Dex?
We have released the first version of the pokedex. For now it only includes data from platinum and we are missing a few things like egg moves and platinum tutor moves. Expect frequent updates. http://projectpokemon.org/pokedex/ Discuss your opinions, suggestions etc here. Please explain with as much detail as possible.
Request: Sav file with complete pokedex
Growlithe posted a topic in Pokémon RequestsI want a sav file with a complete national pokedex. I tried doing it myself, but failed. WHen I ticked both sinnoh and sinnoh+national it didn't work, then I tried just sinnoh, then just sinnoh+national but didn't work. So, I just want to start fairly in the beginning, like in twinleaf town or sandgem or something, but not a finished game... THANKS.

Garden Pasta E Fagioli
Often relagated as a poor man's dinner, Pasta Fagioli is just as delicious as any high-end recipe, especially using your favorite assortment of vegetables and any dry-aged ham you can get your hands on. I use turkey bacon because it isn't overly salty and it truly lets the beans shine without added fat. Using mashed beans instead of tomato paste also helps and I think you will agree that this Italian 'pasta and beans' dish is great all on it's own.
Share This Recipe
For 4 people
- 1 (14 ounce)can white beans, drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, minced
- 2 strips turkey bacon, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic in oil
- 1 (28 ounce)can diced tomatoes, underained
- 1 cup vegetable juice, such as V-8 brand
- 1 1/2 cups cooked macaroni, drained
- 1/2 cup cooked, sliced carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 teaspoon each red pepper flakes and oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon each dried, crushed thyme and dried rosemary
- Salt and black peppper to taste
- 1/2 cup each shredded Parmesan and Cheddar cheese
Garden Pasta E Fagioli Directions
- Mash half the beans in a small bowl; set aside. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium until hot. Add onion, turkey bacon and garlic, stirring to combine. Cook 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are soft. Add remainder of ingredients including whole and mashed beans and macaroni, but not the cheese. Stir very well, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
- When ready to serve, divide equally among serving bowls, topped with cheese.

one week from today
July 31, 2013 § 8 Comments
It will be your birthday. You are getting so old! I still read about baby development and I'm sure you are doing a bit of walking by now, but you're still a sweet little baby in lots of ways. As your birthday approaches, I have been increasingly consumed by thoughts of you. I'm sorry I don't address my writing towards you anymore. I'm sorry I don't talk about you and I lie about your existence. I'm sorry I banish you from my thoughts at times.
I know I shouldn't feel bad, and you probably don't mind since you are their baby and your parents are nice people who must shower you with attention. I just haven't felt like writing to you because it's so painful to love someone this much when I know that love will never be returned. The more I can disconnect, the better. Your love is for the people raising you. I'm just an abstraction. You may only guess at the love I have for you and you may never know I wish I kept you with me. The love I have can never be taken away. My life is a death without you–only death would be more welcome than this. I used to take comfort in telling myself I deserve pain and you were better off without a horrible person like me, but I'm slowly coming out of that too and it's even more unbearable. I would rather despise myself for making a choice and repent for it every day than realize I had so little choice. I was robbed when I was most vulnerable. I put strangers above myself. I was lied to. I was used. Left with no one but myself to blame and to hate. When really I was no match for what I was up against.
I can't disconnect from you completely and I promise I won't. Even if I could, it would be wrong of me. I need to be emotionally available if you ever need me, as well as smart enough to realize you won't need me for a lot and mature enough to accept that.
I'm not doing very well right now and I'm not be focused and motivated as I would have been with you here, but there have been slow improvements nonetheless and there should continue to be, as long as I don't totally crack up. I quit smoking in March, which I always intended to do eventually. Even when I started again after having you, it was with the intention of quitting soon so I'm pleased I did that. I'm one class away from my associates degree. At age 24 that's not something to be excited over, but it's something. David and I are together and happy. I hope someday you want to know him, because he is so smart and interesting and funny. I got a new job in July, making more money with a company I can advance in, especially when I have my degree. There are a lot of negatives, but those are the positives. For what that's worth.
In a week it will be your first birthday. I'm sure your parents will throw you an ostentatious party. I hope you love your new toys and your cake and the playmates that I'm sure will be there. Birthdays are so exciting as a child, even if you're too young to know what is going on. August 7th will always be your day that is all about you, and I hope it's really fun and that you have many more great birthdays ahead. I also fervently hope your parents won't celebrate August 9th.
I don't know what I will be doing on those days. I won't have the distraction of working on either day, so that makes me nervous. First moms say how hard birthdays are and I don't know what to expect or how I'll feel. I predict being more depressed on the 9th, as the memories from that day are a lot worse than my memories of being in labor. I will either receive a letter and pictures from C and L, or I won't. I don't know which will happen or which I'd like to happen. I do know that I hate them at this point. Absolutely hate. I wouldn't tell you that. But if you feel like whizzing straight up in the air during your next diaper change, go for it!
I hope you are doing well, sweetheart. You're closer to my heart than anyone else is. Even right now after so much time and distance, every part of me knows what it would feel like to pick you up and snuggle you against me. I love you always.
baby daddy blues
July 11, 2013 § 14 Comments
It takes a lot out of me to update this blog. Especially when I have so little to say, except more of the same.
I had a conversation with David about the baby, finally. It was actually a couple of months ago and I never talked about it. I tend to update behind schedule anyway, and this took awhile to process. It had been so long since either of us had spoken out loud about it.
I am often visibly sad and when David asks what is wrong, I refuse to talk or I offer up something lame about my stressful workday. I know that's unhealthy. I just hate being so obnoxiously sad all the time. And our last talk about the baby, in October, was an epic fight. We had not gotten back together at that time, but we were becoming close again until that. His horrible words were the reason we continued to stay apart until the New Year. Even after that, I was convinced that David was over the adoption, and why talk to someone who doesn't understand my feelings.
Before anyone demonizes him, I'd like to reiterate that I don't talk to anyone. Friends and family, they've all said ignorant things to me and were no more understanding than David. They all believe I did the right thing. What can I say to that?
The topic finally came up one night because David brought it up. He was sick of asking me what was wrong, when he already knew. And for the first time in months, we talked about it. There were good and bad parts of the conversation. I think he is heavily in denial. I was glad we at least talked even though it makes me sad we disagree on important things. I wish it was an easier topic to talk about so there would not be months of carrying so much pain on my own. And I'm curious to know what he thinks. After all, I never hear a damn word out of birth fathers. It's easy to assume they don't care.
I'll begin with the differences. David thinks we did the right thing and we weren't materially prepared to have a child. He also claimed that people who are starting a family should own a house or be able to. He also believes I will come to peace with the adoption and know it was for the best. David thinks being adopted is no big deal–the baby will have no problems, his parents will have no problems, nothing will be different for him, he will understand why we gave him up and he won't hate us. I do have sympathy for this viewpoint. I used to think this way. David also thinks that, with time, C and L will be more open with us. I wouldn't place a lot of hope on that one.
The good news is, David does know I am sad without me saying anything. He thinks I'm right to be sad. He thinks it's criminal that we had no time to change our minds, that I signed away my parental rights in a hospital bed. And he said C and L should not have traveled all the way here, to sit in the maternity ward and make me feel pressured. I couldn't agree more and I was happy he understood the smallest things.
It's interesting his views don't match up–like he thinks we did the right thing and yet I know he would've changed his mind quickly after signing. And financial security before family? Please. David's mother quit her job, started drinking, squandered their savings, and went batshit insane when he was 15. Should she have given him up for adoption once she became financially insecure? Or when his parents divorced? It would have been the selfless thing to do.
I was fascinated by David's perspective when he talked about being ignored by C and L at the hospital. "When we had lunch with them, I was ignored but you were the pregnant one, so that made sense they would care more about you. And then you were recovering from birth, while nothing had happened to me. But when we left the hospital, they hugged you as you cried. I just stood there and they didn't say a word to me. It felt like I was the asshole loser who knocked you up and I wasn't important."
Birth fathers are absolutely treated like this. He is so right. I never realized before how true that was. The agency ladies told me many times, they didn't need his signature. It was better if they had it, but it was unnecessary. How horrible that really is.
I'm not going to defend David back then. He did act like an asshole and a loser. We were not together when I was pregnant and he made it clear he didn't care about the baby or me. He was far too busy drinking every night and dating other women. But he wasn't some random guy I came across, either. He had been my boyfriend for 3 years. He had equal say in choosing the adoptive parents. And he cared enough to be at the hospital. He was in the room and cut the cord.
It was my body that did the work, but we left the hospital as equals. Two broken hearted parents. Genetics are 50/50. The baby wasn't 80% mine.
It may not seem like it, but this was a huge conversation for us to have. And the fact that David was the one to bring up the subject of our ghost son–it blew my mind.
The really sweet thing he said was that he was sorry for not giving me a card on Mother's Day. He considered it but didn't want to stir the pot. He also said I'm responsible and loving, and when he says we did the right thing, it has to do with himself, not how I would be as a mother. I think he's wrong either way. But that was all I wanted to hear.

The Award Winning Leader in Escorted Worldwide Rail Holidays
We enjoy an impressive journey on the Strathspey Steam Railway, taking a 20-mile round trip through Scotland's magnificent Highland scenery. The former mainline route begins at Aviemore railway station, which also hosts modern trains on the National Rail network.
Leaving the station yard, the train navigates a level crossing and continues against the breathtaking backdrop of the Cairngorms National Park. With the gushing River Spey running alongside the line, the heritage locomotive continues under the shadow of high mountains and dense sloping woodland to the station at Boat of Garten.
This immaculately preserved station features its full range of original buildings dating back to 1904, making it popular with rail enthusiasts. On leaving the station, the next leg of our journey takes us through some beautiful landscapes, including the charming rural farmland scenery straddling the meandering River Spey. In summer, there are many vivid colours in the fields; a multitude of greens and even the purples of heather and gorse lining the trackside. After climbing through the valley, we arrive at Broomhill station - the line's current terminus and a double for 'Glenbogle' station in the TV series 'Monarch of the Glen'.
