Dear Friends,
To commemorate the 70th year since the U.S. began the Nuclear Age by dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, 30 friends from the Atlantic Life Community and other peace groups participated today in an early morning peace witness at the Pentagon that was organized by the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker. The group carried signs, photos of the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, and banners, two of which read: "Remember the Past, Repent the Sin, Reclaim the Future–Hiroshima and Nagasaki" and "Abolish Nuclear Weapons." The group then processed from Army-Navy Drive to the regular protest site near the Pentagon metro station. While most people entered the police designated protest area, five of our community remained on the sidewalk a good distance behind the main procession, and were prevented by police from walking any further. They proceeded to kneel or stand across the sidewalk, holding photos of Hiroshima victims, as several people spread ashes on the pavement. Bill Streit, Nancy Gowen, Kathy Boylan and Andrea Eiland were arrested within ten minutes. Steve Baggarly, who handed out at least of dozen leaflets about the conversion of Fr. George Zabelka, the Enola Gay military chaplain, was also arrested for leafleting. They were all charged with "disobeying a lawful order." Steve was given an additional charge under a "soliciting" statute. They were all processed and released after several hours. They were given a trial date of October 1 in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, VA.
As the five were awaiting arrest, the community that had gathered in the designated protest area, held a prayer service of repentance (see below). During the course of the service, which was repeated twice during the one-and-a-half hour witness, there were periods of silence. Shortly before 8:15 AM, which was the exact time the bomb was dropped, the leaflet with George Zabelka's testimony was read and the song of the A-Bomb survivors was offered. We concluded our witness with a centering Shalom prayer, followed by a blessing for five friends, including recently-released Transform Now Plowshares prisoners Sr. Megan Rice and Mike Walli, who were immediately leaving to attend peace events in Knoxville, TN, organized by the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance (OREPA). Our closing circle ended with the singing of "Vine and Fig Tree."

Another thing the sister on that bus said to me that was ridiculous came after she asked me what I was mixed with. After I named what I knew, she said "Don't forget African". Was she so color-struck that she wanted me to tell her that I was African-American too?...I guess so. I get tired of certain individuals thinking they have the right to require non-darkskinned people to prove they don't think they're too good to identify with the rest of the race. When she asked me what I was mixed with, it was obvious she was asking me what was mixed with my blackness, the way a person would ask any African-American. Trying to remind me I was still black after asking me that, showed just how ignorant and brainwashed she really was. To make it so bad, she thought she was doing her job by telling me that. I'm afraid that's still a rampant mindset with a lot of us. It was best that she never asked me in the first place. Talking about some out-dated thinking.Some of us do get carried away when we talk about melanin and pigmentation. I remember a few years after I moved to GA, I borded a private bus to get us to a rally. I wounded up sitting beside this very dark-skinned sister who said she was an assistant pastor, however she didn't sound like a very good one. During that 11 hour bus trip, I told her I was struggling with allergies, something I understand a lot of people from different states suffer when they first move to GA. I told her I already had trouble adjusting to cold air, especially the cold air that they use to blow through the air-vents right above our heads in those cubicals at my old job. I haven't caught but two colds since I left that job. Anyway, she told me the reason I was having these problems was because of the admixture in me. Although a lot of blacks would have took that as a compliment, I didn't know how to take it. But it was really an insult. That's when I really realized how bad it was with the skin-tone issue here in the South. It's a lot worst down here than the black people in the North realize. They seem to have similar issues for light-skin as the whites have for blacks altogether, unless you're from down here. Even a lot of light-skinned individuals have issues with other light-skinned individuals they don't know. Perhaps it's always been this way in the North too, but it seems to be on steroids down here in the South, and getting worst. Some of these folks down here must think they're talking to a white boy or something.
When we speak of self-hate, people like to automatically think it means dark-skin. But the hate between non-darkskinned blacks is underrated in many cases.
I am kind of lost. are you saying that it is African self hate if a clearly black person asks another clearly black person what are you mixed with and they reply with one of your mentioned descriptions?For the record, I do NOT think of the color shade, i.e., light, dark, brown-skinned, of a brother or sister when I speak of black self-hate. The "black" in the phrase means "African," as in African self-hate, not the literal color of one's skin. As in someone asking a clearly black person what they're 'mixed with' and they say, "Portuguese, Chinese, Mongolian, French Huguenot, Spanish Basque, Mexican and Swedish." Regardless of their skin shade, that's black self-hate.
My bad. Should have said: "I'm Portuguese, Chinese, Mongolian, French Huguenot, Spanish Basque, Mexican and Swedish," yet do not list African as a race of heritage. In short, giving a shopping list of every drop of every race/nationality blood BUT black/African.I am kind of lost. are you saying that it is African self hate if a clearly black person asks another clearly black person what are you mixed with and they reply with one of your mentioned descriptions?
Like I said, dark-skin people age LESS than lighter-skinned people.
Now this here I can kinda agree with, as I know a lot of blacks have a habit of doing that, including all their heritage except African...when nobody really asked them, or brought up the topic. However this sister on the bus tried to size me up into that category of blacks, and she was wrong because she brought up the topic by asking me. As dark as she was, if I had asked her the same thing, and she knew she was mixed, like most dark-skinned African-Americans really are, than the last thing she would have said was African. I'll put money on that.My bad. Should have said: "I'm Portuguese, Chinese, Mongolian, French Huguenot, Spanish Basque, Mexican and Swedish," yet do not list African as a race of heritage. In short, giving a shopping list of every drop of every race/nationality blood BUT black/African.
And trust, I've seen it. Only no one asked what they were "mixed" with - usually, as in the instances I've witnessed, it is volunteered info.

We checked out this Ford Focus on Tuesday and liked it. So next week sometime we will be sporting around Ford style. I never thought I would own a Ford. You know because of the whole "Found On Road Dead" thing. What was the other one? Fix... something something Daily? Well that's got me knocking on wood. I hope it will be a trouble free car.
I also think I will be getting this snazzy bike rack. Hopefully my bike won't be haunted by the ghost freeride bikes. Or that my little car won't feel like it should be more like a Jeep Cherokee. No more fighting to get the bike in the back or the stinky mess. Plus it will be more aero for gas mileage and it folds down. But the new car has 4 doors so I don't think I will have to access the trunk too much with the bikes on.
I thought I would be doing the Hampshire 100 on the 16th but because of the entry fee ($115) and the drive (3+ hours) I decided that the Dark Horse 40 will be my race. The guys down there know how to put on a race and personally invited me to race. Plus if I win the single speed class I would get $200! This is exactly what I've been talking about. The big pay off. If only all races could be done like the guys from Dark Horse Cycles.
Oh ya and if I am the fastest single speeder out there they will give me a new Niner fork of my color choice.

Took my car into the shop for repairs. My normal mechanic closed up shop for personal reasons so I took my car to Doyle Chevy, figuring a Chevy dealer will be able to button up my minor issues no problem.
I needed an inspection, secondary air injector replaced, tire pressure senor replaced, wiring for my rear license plate light, a new sway bar, and some work on my vents/blower. Dropped my car off on Wednesday and was told to pick it up today, which is great as I'm suppose to be going out of town. I wont be and let me tell you why.
They fixed the secondary air injector and drove over 100 miles in my car, but "couldn't get the code to clear." So guess who has a car with out a fucking inspection sticker, yup that's me! they had 3 days to get this done and now I have a car that i can not drive when I'm suppose to be going out of town. there is no way in hell I'm driving memorial day weekend with out a fucking inspection sticker, that's asking for a fix it sticker! or at-least a some harassment from the law.. nope not risking that.
Oh but the icing on the whole fucking shit cake, THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO THE VENT/BLOWER REPAIR they fucking quoted me for and I asked them to make sure they did repeatedly! fucking just straight up ignored a whole fucking repair. I'm fucking livid!
left a voice mail with the service manager, but i swear if they dont call me back ASAP this is going to be their dealership!!!
Update: Spoke with service manger. they apologized and will be doing the missed work labor free on Tuesday. which is like 3/4 the cost of the repair! woohoo!

Using the VAT Flat Rate Scheme
The VAT Flat Rate Scheme (FRS) was introduced in 2002 to simplify VAT accounting for small businesses. The way it works is that output VAT (the VAT you charge your customers) is charged at the standard VAT rate (20%, as of March 2014), with the amount of VAT you subsequently pay to HMRC being worked out as a percentage of your VAT inclusive turnover. The percentage that is applied to your VAT inclusive turnover depends on the business area in which you are operating. For IT contractors, for example, it is 14.5%. You can get a full list on the HMRC website.
Trying to decide whether or not to use the VAT Flat Rate Scheme (FRS) is a question that most IT contractors (and other small business owners) have to ask themselves at some stage. At first glance, for IT contractors who have very few expenses (purchases on which VAT can be claimed), joining the scheme seems like the obvious choice, and for many, it probably is.
It is, however, worth looking carefully at all the figures before deciding to join the scheme. How the scheme works is demonstrated in the following example (note: a percentage of 14.5% is being used here, but you could substitute a different percentage for a different business sector).
Net Invoice Amount = £10000
VAT Charged = £2000 (20% of £10,000)
Gross Amount = £12000

JSW Steel, part of the $12 billion JSW Group, today announced it will invest Rs 39,715 crore over the next three years in significantly ramping up capacity, including two power plants, pellet project and coke over plants.
The announcement was part of a statement made by the company on its fourth quarter performance. The firm reported a 186 per cent jump in net profit at Rs 2,879 crore for the quarter ended March over a 16 per cent increase in total income at Rs 20,817 crore.
"The Company will set up power plants of 175 MW and 60 MW to effectively utilise flue gases and steam generated from Coke Dry Quenching (CDQ), which will lead to savings in power," JSW Steel said.
The company had announced an overall estimated capital expenditure plan of close to Rs 26,815 crore last year. The plan is now expected to be enhanced by Rs 17,600 crore to implement a set of new projects including the power plants, a 8 MTPA pellet plant and 1.5 MTPA coke oven plant at its Vijaynagar project apart from a new coke oven plant of 1.5 MTPA capacity at Dolvi in Maharashtra.

Choosing your brand name the wrong way
A lot of new businesses are naming their companies based on the availability of domain names. No. No. No. You can't choose your business name based on a .com domain. Select the best, most appropriate name for your business. One that reflects Value System & Personality of the company. Having a nice domain name is sure important, but you can always do permutation-combination there.
Starting with marketing, ignoring the need for branding
Very often people jump onto Marketing Execution as they want to get started with business. So, they begin with a clumsy Logo, a cheesy tagline, default system fonts and a basic Colour Palette. Seldom do they understand that at every touchpoint, their business is creating Brand Image. A sharp and relevant Brand Identity, done with the help of Branding Agency, will get more customer conversions per dollar spent on Marketing. Defining your Brand Strategy and Brand Identity will also help you determine key messages for the Brand.
Underestimating the power of branding
Branding is not beautiful Brochures or stellar Websites. It is neither pretty fonts nor an intriguing Logo. It is sum total of all these elements, whose look and feel is defined by what your Brand stands for. Define your Brand first.
Not being consistent
One of the most important attribute of Branding is consistency. Consistency commands trust. Learn to control your whims and fancies if you want to build a strong Brand. Once the Brand Personality and design style is defined, continue with it. The benefits you reap by staying consistent is very rewarding.
Going to an advertising agency for development of your brand
An Advertising Agency, in most cases have a limited view of Consumers and Competition. Almost all Ad Agencies operate with a general belief that a Brand has to do unique stuff to stand out. It is not always true and not needed at that stage. Moreover, the objective while building Brands is not disruption, but definition. Branding Agencies don't think campaigns. They think long term, sustainable Brand Promise.
Resisting change
Very often businesses get complacent with their current numbers. Don't stick with your Branding if it isn't working. There is no thumb-rule here. You may need to Rebrand your business over and over until you get it right. Learn to judge your Branding with an open mind. Go out and ask your customers. Step into their shoes. See what can be bettered. Include those things in your brief.

It was time for the holidays, festivities all around. Christmas was in the air. The streets were lined with decorations, Christmas trees of different sizes, colourful lights adorn shop corners and my house wasn't an exception to all of this merriment as my mum already brought out the box we named "Christmas decorations" which consisted of no more than a worn out Christmas light which has seen better days and a table top Christmas tree already bent out of shape.
Off to the market, my uncle and I, to buy the chicken. This is always a big deal for us as this is the only time in the year we get to eat chicken.
"C'mon, hold the chicken, my friend!" This was my uncle, uncle Ben; my no-nonsense, never wrong, always right, "knock some sense into your head" uncle. He's the only father figure I have since my dad passed away seven years ago. The chicken kept squirming, aware that it had come to the end of the road and was about to meet the same fate its other buddies met when they were never seen or heard from again. I was trying so hard and failing terribly to hold the chicken. Once again, I was facing my worst fears: holding the chicken and watching when it's being killed, are usually the scariest moments for me but Uncle Ben always insists I watch! For the life of me, I have no idea why. From my apparent lack of control over the squirming bird and in true uncle Ben style, I got a very wonderful knock on my head and he grabbed the chicken from my hand.
"You are just so lazy, and weak!" He hissed and paid the chicken seller. We made our way home and proceeded to the second most dreaded chicken experience, the killing. And of course, I was made to stand and watch. As usual, uncle Ben sharpened the knife and picked the bird which, by now, was frantically trying to escape. I felt a bit sorry for the bird. Without batting an eyelid, he took the knife to the throat and started cutting. After much struggle, the chicken went limp but the most incredible thing happened. My uncle cut off the rope holding the legs; big mistake! Almost immediately, the chicken sprang up with its head dangling to one side, it started running around the compound.
"Jesu!! " I shouted from where I was standing and I immediately ran to hide behind the door- where I could watch and still be safe. I was shaking so badly and the bowl I was holding dropped from my hand. It was a scary sight, seeing the chicken, with its head dangling from its body, running around. But it was interesting seeing uncle Ben running after the chicken, missing his steps and falling down in a bid to catch it. They kept running in circles until uncle Ben, I don't know if he finally came to his senses or he got an imaginary knock on his head, stopped and decided to come at the bird from the other side and lo and behold, he caught the chicken as it was running head, sorry, neck on towards him. He picked the knife and cut off the head of the chicken which was still struggling for dear life up until the head came off.
He raised his head, still breathing heavily, shouted, "My friend, go and bring the hot water! Nonsense! You just stand dia dey look! Mxcheeeeew. Ode!"
I quickly turned so he wouldn't see that I smiled all the way to the kitchen. Uncle Ben made a fool of himself today and it was fun to watch.

Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar
The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination forges a ground-breaking contribution to feminist literary criticism. In this study, Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar argue for the existence of a distinctly female literary imagination in women writers of nineteenth-century. Their landmark study has influenced how we read women writers ever since.
Gilbert and Gubar systematically deconstruct the obstacles women authors faced and how their struggles are manifested in their works, beginning with the fundamental perception that literary authorship was perceived as an exclusively male activity, a patriarchal endeavor, bestowing ownership and authority on the work. As such, it not only excluded women from authorship, it asserted that women who were authors defied their essential nature, i.e. they were being "unfeminine." Unlike their male counterparts who suffered from an "anxiety of influence," women authors suffered from an "anxiety of authorship."
Among the many patriarchal constructs inhibiting women's writing were the stereotypical depictions of her as either angel or monster; the circumscribed space she was forced to inhabit in society; her limited sphere of permissible activities; the plethora of literary texts saturated with male hegemony and female subordination; the misogyny of Milton's Paradise Lost; the trap of "feminine" roles in patriarchal homes; the deliberate malnourishment for her writing; the assumption of a vapid intellectual life; and the interiorization of her as Other.
Through their brilliant analysis of the writings of such authors as Jane Austen, Christina Rossetti, the Brontë sisters, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Eliot, Emily Dickinson, Simone de Beauvoir, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and through references to numerous others, Gilbert and Gubar demonstrate the strategies for artistic survival women developed to counteract these crippling constructs.
Comprehensive in scope, the study weaves the author's biography with detailed textual analysis and discussion of her work to show how her thoughts evolved and in what ways and to what degree she was able to counteract patriarchal constructs. By interpreting the literature through the "mad woman" lens, Gilbert and Gubar open the literary work to subtleties and nuances, revealing sub-merged layers of meaning that may otherwise have been overlooked.
This is a fascinating study, a consummate tome of feminist literary criticism, and so well deserving of the high praise it has received. It is highly recommended as a valuable resource for students of Victorian women writers and for the readers who love to immerse themselves in the literary masterpieces they crafted.

Maurice Chevalier, with a double career as an actor and singer, is still one of the most famous French artists in the world. The international symbol of the « French lover » was born in 1888 in Paris.
He started to sing in the caf'conc' of Mémilmontant where he fell in love with the singer Fréhel. In 1909, he left her for another famous singer: Mistinguett.Seen as the typical dandy of the Années folles, he became popular with two songs written by Albert Willemetz: « Valentine » and « Dans la vie faut pas s'en faire ».
In 1928, Maurice Chevalier married Yvonne Vallée and went to Hollywood for a brilliant new career in cinema with a total of 47 movies. In 1935, he triumphed in France with few new songs: « Prosper », « Ma pomme » (1936), and « Y'a d'la joie » (1937) written for the young Charles Trenet. After the difficult years of the 1940s, he was back in business in 1958 with « Le silence est d'or », a movie by René Clair. He also played in « Ariane » (Billy Wilder) and « Gigi » (Vincente Minnelli) which won nine Oscars.
His musical career restarted in 1963 with « Le twist du canotier », a song recorded with Les Chaussettes Noires. Then, Maurice Chevalier decided to support a young new singer: Mireille Mathieu. He finally retired from the stage in 1968 and died in 1972, January 1st: "Momo" was 83 years.

Back from the brink: Former Knight's long road to recovery ON THE MEND: Ryan Stig is back training with the Knights' NSW Cup side after overcoming a debilitating illness. Picture: Marina Neil
TweetFacebook Ryan StigPictures: Marina Neil, Darren Pateman, Ryan OslandFiveyears after hisNRL career was cruelly cut short by a debilitating illness that could have killed him, RyanStig is taking the first tentative steps towards an unlikelyrugby league return.
For the past three weeks, the former Knights playmaker has been dipping his toe in the water, training with the club'sNSW Cupsquad.
Stigstops short of talking up a potential comeback but admits that even at the height of his illness, he never lost his passion for the game.
"I've done more running in the lastfew weeks than I've done in the pastfive years, and I've been pleasantly surprised how the body has handled the load," Stig said.
"I'm enjoying it and I'd love to play again. But in saying that, I'm still conscious that my health and my family comes first and I won't be jeopardising that."
Stig burst onto the scene in 2011 and after a man-of-the match performance against the Dragonsin just his third top-grade game for the Knights, heappeared to have the rugby-league world at his feet.
He went on to play13 games for Newcastle that season under coach Rick Stone,including the playoff loss to Melbourne, and was rewarded with a two-year contract by incoming coach Wayne Bennett.
But in early 2012, the former Australian Schoolboys playmaker was sidelined with a blood clot behind his eye and then battled chronic fatigue-type symptoms that saw his health deteriorate.
It took two years for specialists to diagnose Lyme disease,a bacterial infection spread by ticks, but treating the illness provedmore complicated than anticipated.
"I had a lot of neurological issues and towardsthe end of 2013, there was damage to the brain and I was in a bad way," Stig said."I started to lose effective function of my limbs and I just wasn't getting good results from traditional treatment which is when we started looking at alternatives."I knew if it blew out for another year –people I know have died because they didn't getthe right treatment and were too sick to travel."
At the recommendation of specialists, Stig went to Mexico for stem-cell therapy and vitamin courses in late 2013 for limited results.
But it was after a decision to travel to Germany the following year, that Stig finally felt like he was headed in the right direction.
"I underwent hyperthermiatreatment," he said."Theyput me to sleep,almost like I was on life support, and heated up my body to 42 degrees and held me there for eight hours."I felt thattreatment was the trigger that finally got me going in the right direction."
Indicative of his strong motivation to beat the diseasewas Stig's decisionto take the advice of a friend the following year and go on a water fast.
Remarkably, over a five-week period, he ate nothing and drank only water.
"It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life but it is right up there with the best things I have ever done," he said.The idea behind it is the body uses a lot ofenergy for digestion but when there is nothing to digest, it turns its attention to healing. I lost 20 kgs but it was instrumental in me getting better."
Stig has been on anothertwowaterfasts since, and in mid-2016 travelled toSwiss clinic Paracelsusfor more hyperthermia treatment.
"Up until then, it was all about trying to fight the disease and kill it but I finally felt I was winning the battle," he said.
Stig says his wife, Andrea, has been an enormous support and his family [daughters Norah 3, and Hazel, 6 weeks] are his priority,but he is also looking into a foundation to help people like him who can't get answers.

Inhance/Fluoro-Seal Ltd. (Houston, Texas) and Finishes Unlimited (Sugar Grove, Ill.) have jointly developed INFIN Coating Technology, a two-stage inline process that applies a decorative yet functional topcoat to extruded wood plastic composites (WPCs). Reportedly, the coating is available in virtually any color and resists fading, heat retention, mold, mildew, stains and abrasion. The technology first passes the WPC through a pretreatment chamber, where it is exposed to a reactive gas that oxidizes the surface, altering its molecular structure to optimize adhesion with the subsequently applied, proprietary UV-curable coating (pat. pend.). The coating is applied in a second chamber where it is instantly cured under UV lamps. The VOC- and HAP-free process can coat composites at speeds of up to 200 ft/min (61 m/min) and can be installed as a standalone system or integrated into a WPC line.

Tron and NEO are currently competing to get recognized as a top 10 crypto. These two coins are regularly trading spots on CoinMarketCap lately, and NEO is placed on the 11th position for the moment and TRX on the 12th.
Both of these platforms are working hard to offer faster alternatives to the Ethereum and attract more developers who are interested in creating the next-gen decentralized applications.
For the moment, NEO has about 60 DApps in development, and these include AdEx, THEKEY and Red Pulse.
Tron, on the other hand, is just getting started after launching its Main Net, with at least 9 DApps in the works for the moment, along with an incentive program to attract new developers.
Each of these two platforms are also getting better at teasing the crypto enthusiasts with various cryptic announcements regarding their plans for future achievements.
Tron and NEO's cryptic messages
For instance, in Tron's Main Net launch live stream, founder Justin Sun addressed the upcoming release of the Tron Virtual Machine that's scheduled for July 31 and he also noted that r8ight before this gets release Tron "will also launch one of our secret projects."
NEO is dropping its very own tease on what's to come. NEO's official Twitter account revealed the team is working on "NEO 3.0."
We don't know exactly what will be packed in NEO 3.0, but this tweet might hint that the team is planning to release a new version of the NEO whitepaper much sooner than everyone expects. The whitepaper update was mentioned on GitHub in the past.
— NEO Smart Economy (@NEO_Blockchain) July 6, 2018
Closing words
Both Tron and NEO's announcement s triggered tons of speculation on Reddit. We're referring to the fact that Tron's community questions whether the secret report is connected to Sun's recent acquisition of BitTorrent,
On the other hand, NEO enthusiasts are pondering the potential for a full reveal of infrastructure such as neo-sharp, a new node implementation.

I need to have seven to eight hours of sleep or I won't be able to function at optimum levels. I am VERY protective of my sleep time. I guard it jealously.
There are two pigeons that just would not let me have my sleep. I'm guessing they were a couple looking for a place to settle and raise their babies, and they decided that my balcony was the perfect spot. I was rudely roused from my sleep in the wee hours of the morning by cooing. Incessant cooing.
For the first few times I just went outside and scared them away and tried to get back to sleep. I would yell at them and threaten to break all their eggs if they dared to build a nest. They stared at me from the rooftop of the house across the road, as though they were daring me to chase them from there. They have small brains, but those things can be bullies.
It wasn't long before I'd had enough. Setting old flower pots (and other things I found lying around) so that they wouldn't have a place to land hadn't yielded any results. In fact I think I had made it even cosier.
I have nothing against birds trying to settle somewhere and start a family. But what about my sleep?
So I went to the dollar shop and bought a bird repellent.
ある日我慢できなくなった。 その場所を魅力的でなくさせるように、いろんなものを置いてみた。縄まで巻いた!よ~し!来ないぞ~と思いきや、今度は心地よくねぐらについていた。
It worked like magic! I haven't seen or heard the pigeons since. I suppose they think I'm so bad-ass that I hanged one of their comrades as an example.
ちなみにうさぎも「羽」で数えるんだ知らなかった。勉強になるな~♫ ブログ続けよ~と。
Yay!! I can sleep now!

Another day, another press call for a new release. This time its Samsung's turn, with speculation rife that the firm is set to debut the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini on Thursday 11 October.
The manufacturer's German arm has called the great and good to a special launch event and tantalised them with the promise that they will be delivering "something small."
Translated from German to English the invite roughly reads "something small will be really big" followed by "get ready for a little sensation."
To add further weight to the idea that the event will be used to showcase the new device, the distinctive 'S' logo features in the middle of the invite.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini release date
We don't know for sure when the Galaxy S3 Mini will be released – we don't even know if it exists yet! But if we do see a launch on 11 October, Samsung is unlikely to want to hang around.
Rumours already circulating about the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini suggest that the smartphone could be released by the end of the year, to capitalise on the S3′s success in the run-up to Christmas.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini specs and price
The device is set to feature a 4-inch screen with an 800 x 480 resolution display. We're also expecting it to ship with the latest Android OS, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and run on a run on a dual-core processor.
As a final touch the smartphone is also set to feature a 5MP camera. Question marks still remain about onboard storage, and whether the device will feature a second camera.
In terms of price, we can expect the S3 Mini to be at the lower end of the spectrum, with a consumer-friendly £250 price tag.
With the S3 a runaway success around the globe, it'll be interesting to see how a scaled-down version performs. Roll on 11 October!

Coventry City plan to build new stadium after Ricoh Arena dispute
- From the section Football
Coventry City are looking for a site on which to build a new stadium.
The Sky Blues are planning for a future away from the Ricoh Arena after a year-long rent row with Arena Coventry Ltd.
Chief executive Tim Fisher said: "Everyone is aware of the situation with the Ricoh Arena and the fact that we were forced out of the stadium.
"The club has a responsibility to supporters to make sure the Sky Blues have a long-term home. Doing nothing is simply not an option."
Coventry City FC Ltd was put into administration in late March with debts of £60m, resulting in the deduction of 10 points which effectively ended hopes of promotion to the Championship.
However, the club is currently the subject of a takeover bid by a consortium backed by American tycoon Preston Haskell IV.
The rent dispute has overshadowed events on the field for most of the season and Fisher said: "The ongoing legal issues have prevented us from talking about this major development until now."
ACL manage the stadium on behalf of its joint-owners, Coventry City Council and the Alan Edward Higgs Charity.
Coventry moved into the 32,000 capacity ground in 2005 after leaving Highfield Road, their home for the previous 106 years.
In March, the club agreed a short-term deal with ACL to complete the League One season at the Ricoh Arena despite the ongoing dispute.
Fisher revealed the club had started the process of identifying a site for a new ground in the local area in a statement on the club website.
"We retained stadium specialists some months ago to advise us on suitable sites for a permanent club stadium in the local Coventry area.
"This will involve a substantial further investment in Coventry City," Fisher said.
"Given the current position with the Ricoh Arena, we have had also to make contingency plans to fulfil our fixtures on an interim basis, while we begin to deliver the long-term vision. That process is also well under way.
"We will ensure that all the fans are kept fully informed as the situation develops and the upcoming fan meetings will provide a further opportunity for discussion."

In today's economy, nobody should ever be ashamed of saving a few dollars.
Not log ago I saw a rather well-to-do friend at my favorite eating establishment – Arbys . This guy is financially loaded. When he paid, he pulled out a cnoupon. When I joked, "You are using a coupon! I thought you were a rich guy."
"How do you think I got rich?" he responded.
Now I know he got rich from working hard and investing wisely. But I also know (from personal experience) that you have more to invest when you save on your expenses.
Two or three times a week I meet by wife for lunch at Arbys . Most than any other fast food place, features fresh and healthy lunch and dinner selections (at least the here in Richmond, Virginia). So I never have to feel guilty about eating too much unhealthy food when eating in . That said, is also a bit pricey. That's understandable. You pay for quality.
Still, I hate paying full price for anything – especially for dining out in a fast food place like . So I am always looking for a special promotion, a meal deal, or some combination platter that will satisfy my hunger while saving me a few dollars. Fortunatley, Arbys is always ready to help me out.
Coupons are available in newspapers, weekly advertisement flyer, and on the company website. Locally, the where I eat is part of a very professional run set of franchises owned by a great guy. He also runs some specials that are only available locally. I always keep my ear to the ground and my eyes on the local and corporate website to get the best deals possible.
Arbys also offers a special customer loyalty program (at least locally) by printing coupons on the back of my receipt. So every time I return I am able to save a dollar on a regular roast beef sandwich. That was what my friend was using when he made his purchase. If you check your receipts you may well find coupons for fast food places like I do using the coupons on the back on my receipts.
There are dozens of restaurants out there that are scrambling to put together the best coupons offers to attract out business and loyalty. has done a great job with that in my opinion. When you consider what a nutritious and enjoyable dining experience they provide (esepcailly here in Richmond, Virginia), as wll as the fact that I get to hand out with my lovely bride, this is a win situation all around.

Are you going to like any of the apartments in Alamo Heights San-Antonio? There are bound to be some on the market right now that have problems and some that are great options. The only way to find out which is which will be to learn how to do some initial research.
Go to a search engine website so you can type in the name of the complex and the city it's in. Then, sort the results by which are the most recent. Reviews are great as long as they are from someone that has lived in the building recently. Older reviews may not teach you anything because the landlord may have changed or perhaps a problem neighbor hadn't moved in yet. See if there are any news stories, too, in case the place is known for having a bunch of problems with crime.
There are no perfect apartments. When you live around other people, you will end up getting annoyed with the neighbors or there will be something that goes wrong in the apartment. The only way to make sure you're okay if something goes wrong is to know whether the landlord is helpful or not. Do they let you complain to them and then get right on fixing anything that may be going wrong? Ask to see a copy of the lease before you sign it and then look at what happens if you are not happy with something. If they don't have anything in place to help with issues, it may be wise to steer clear of living there.
What kind of price do you have to pay when you move in? Not only do you have things to pay for like the first month's rent or a security deposit, there are also things like paying a fee to get your electricity turned on. If you've had issues with paying bills in the past, you may be required to pay an extra fee just to get things started. See what you can afford after you factor in the cost of everything.
Before you live in any of the apartments in Alamo Heights San-Antonio, it is beneficial to research each one. Do you know if you are getting good pricing because there are bad neighbors or maintenance issues? Use the methods you learned more about above to find out.

Another milestone has been reached: I have just been booked to record my first audiobook--and I couldn't be happier about it!
Best of all, the finished product will be sold on Audible, which is, as you probably know, "the leading provider of premium digital spoken audio information and entertainment on the internet". Not bad, eh?
The book I'm reading is titled: The Rainforest: The Secret to Building the Next Silicon Valley. This is right up my alley, having spent quite a few years in IT management. So far I'm really enjoying the material and looking forward to reading the rest of it.

Alleluia! Today is a glorious day! The sun is shining, our bellies are full from Easter Brunch and the boys are in heaven with their Nonna and Papa here. The house smells of Sauce for the Ravioli and Ricotta Cheesecake.
All in all, we are working through our focus, discipline issues and I am grateful for all of the advice given. Mystikman and I are working through this. L is just a very passionate little guy, with a clear vision of what he is about. I cherish this for the long run, but find it frustrating in the short term. We are taking this one day at a time and hope for great days every morning we wake.
With Easter upon us, let's say rebirth, renewal, love and life going forward! May we all find the newness we need with this wonderfully fresh new season!

"Snapdragon" is a National Readers Choice Awards Finalist!
Whoa! Have you seen some of the names on the finalists list for this year's NRCAs? I'm on the same page--twice--with Jill Shalvis. Being in such talented company makes it even sweeter that "Snapdragon" has made it to the finals in this year's National Readers' Choice Awards for Best First Book and Erotic Romance!
I'll be looking forward to RWA Nationals in Denver in July, where they'll be announcing the winners and where I hope to meet (in person) some of the lovely ladies of OKRWA. In addition to staying with me through some technical problems as I was entering the contest, these girls were all just as sweet as apple pie.
Finally: the thanking part. It's funny thanking people who you won't meet unless they introduce themselves to you. I think some contests encourage judges not to reach out to authors or identify them (at least until the contest is over). Either way, I'd like to send my appreciation to the judges who took the time to read and score my book. XOXOXO

Changing programme
If you are a Tier 4 visa holder, there are certain requirements you must meet before being permitted to change your programme of study and remain on your current visa.
You should be able to change your programme without first needing a new visa if your visa was granted before April 2016 or your new course:
- has the same mode of attendance and
- is within the same subject area and
- is at the same level and
- you can finish your new course within the validity of your current visa
If your request does not meet these requirements, you may have to leave the UK in order to apply for a new Tier 4 visa for your new course.
If your new course is shorter than your previous one the University will report this change of end date to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). You will not need to get a new visa, but you should be aware that your visa validity will be reduced to reflect the new end date.
In certain situations, the rules on changing programme are applied differently:
- Adding a year of industrial placement/study abroad - you will need to apply for new (longer) visa but can do this at any time before or after your period of industrial placement or study abroad
- Integrated Master students - you will need to apply for a new (longer) visa before changing from Bachelors to Masters (eg BEng to Meng), but you can do this in the UK
Students with Visas issued before April 2016
If your visa was issued before April 2016 you will normally be able to transfer programme without first applying for a new visa. If you need a longer visa as a result of this transfer however you will need to return to your home country at some point to apply for this.
How to change programme
You will need to submit a Change of Programme form through your College or supervisor. Make sure you follow the correct process depending on your level of study:
When you submit a change of programme request that will require you to get a new visa, we will contact you with advice particular to your situation. We would also recommend that you speak to your personal tutor or programme leaders for academic advice and guidance.

Taylor Swift kicked off the U.K. leg of her tour on Friday in Manchester. It was a bittersweet launch as she paused to pay tribute to the city's resilience following last year's bombing after Ariana Grande's concert last May.

Ariana Grande Opens Up About Tour Life After Manchester: "Calling It Off And Going Home Was Not An Option"
Ariana Grande sat down for a chat with Coveteur Magazine on the last night of the "Dangerous Woman Tour" in Hong Kong. The singer gave a rare interview and discussed what life on the road for her was like after the bombing of her Manchester concert.
Ariana Grande Reacts To Being Named Manchester's First Honorary Citizen
Ariana Grande has reacted to the news that she was made an official citizen of the city of Manchester, England. Plans to honor Ariana were announced last month after she threw a massive benefit concert for the victims of her bombed Manchester show. The city government has now made the move official after putting it to a vote Wednesday.
"It would have been understandable if she had never wanted to see this place again," said Manchester council leader Sir Richard Leese. "But she determined she would not perform again until she had returned to Manchester."
Richard commended Ariana not just for putting on the show, but for raising a ton of money for the attack's victims. Ariana reacted to the news on Instagram and posted a screenshot of Richard's kind words and reacted in the caption.
"I'm moved and honored," she wrote. "My heart is very much still there."
Check out Ariana's entire reaction to her new honorary citizenship below.

Ariana Grande Tributes Youngest Victim Of Manchester Concert Bombing
Wednesday night, Ariana Grande took time to tribute the youngest victim of the Mancherster concert bombing following her "Dangerous Woman Tour" stop in Argentina. Eight-year-old Saffie Roussos was killed along with 21 others during the devastating attack.
While in Buenos Aires, Ariana tweeted out a message to let her fans know that she was thinking of Saffie.
"She was Ariana Grande-obsessed, so to see how happy she was, it was just … obviously I had to go wither her," Saffie's sister, Ashlee Bromwich, recalled to BBC.
See Ariana's tribute message to Saffie below.

Ariana Grande To Be Awarded Manchester's First Honorary Citizenship
After raking in millions of dollars worth of proceeds from the One Love Manchester benefit concert, it's no surprise that the city wants to give something back to Ariana Grande. The singer is set to receive honorary citizenship to the northwestern U.K. site. Ariana will be the first to be awarded such an honor in Manchester. Counselor Sir Richard Leese told the BBC that he and several others already consider Ariana an honorary citizen, but they want to make it official.
"This seems a fitting moment to update the way we recognise those who make noteworthy contributions to the life and success of our city," he explained. "We've all had cause to be incredibly proud of Manchester and the resilient and compassionate way in which the city, and all those associated with it, have responded to the terrible events of 22 May – with love and courage rather than hatred and fear."
The plans will go before the council on July 12.
Do you think Ariana is deserving of this honor?

Suspects Arrested After Manchester Bombing At Ariana Grande Concert Set Free
U.K. police have released 22 suspects detained in connection to the bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. The news comes as those arrested after the bombing could no longer be held on suspicion of terrorism without any proof to bring charges.
The head of counterterrorism in Northwest England, Russ Jackson, revealed that the bomber Salman Abedi assembled the bomb himself. And several of the 22 people arrested were able to explain "innocent contact" with Salman leading up to the attack.
However, police still don't know "whether he acted alone in obtaining the materials for the device" or "whether others knew or were complicit in the storage of materials knowing what was being planned," according to Russ.
Russ and the Manchester police released a statement on Twitter with their latest updates on the attack.

Well that was fun, let's do a meme! Stolen from EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE.
Pick any passage of 500 words or fewer from any piece of fanfiction I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I'll then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the characters' heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the greater context of the story, and anything else that you'd expect from a commentary track.
For reference, complete collection of fanfiction I've written in the last four and a half years is here on my LiveJournal or here on my AO3.

I hate when certain IMPORTANT celebrations creep up on me and the celebration of our government as established in the Constitution is one of those celebrations. And disappointedly, The Google isn't among those celebrating it with a specialized logo or anything today.
I still love reading this:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Two hundred, twenty-one years. Seriously – only 221 years. I hope we will be able to continue on.
One of the things I find intoxicating about revisiting something I supposedly knew quite a bit about is the learning of something totally new within that framework. It's like, how I'd miss that or did I even know it?
An option, laid out by those who framed the Consitiution "because they anticipated that Americans would lose trust and confidence in the federal government."
An Article V Convention was envisioned as a temporary fourth branch of the federal government that, once convened, was not under the control of Congress, the President or the Supreme Court. The Convention of state delegates could only propose constitutional amendments, just as Congress has done during our history, and like those they would have to be ratified by three-quarters of the states.
This is as good a place to start as any. Go check it out and see what you think. I'm in the process of reading and deciphering.

Neil Doleman " Principal Investigator
Robin Lane " Senior Analyst
BASi®, Suite 2 Building 500, Abbey Park, Stareton, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, UK
The Dried Blood Spot (DBS) technique has been evaluated at BASi® UK for the determination of quetiapine, norquetiapine and quetiapine sulphoxide in human whole blood. DBS offers a range of benefits over traditional sampling techniques including:
To validate an analytical method in human whole blood achieving an LLOQ of 0.5 ng/mL for all analytes at BASi® UK prior to transferring the method to our US sites and performing a cross-validation exercise.
In an effort to increase assay sensitivity the following changes were necessary:
Figure 1: Chromatograms of a typical calibration standard at 0.5 ng/mL (LLOQ)
(Reversed phase isocratic HPLC (phenyl-hexyl stationary phase, 3 µm particle size))
Overall ˜inter-run™ results, summarising three separate method performance batches, passed the BASi® accuracy and precision acceptance criteria (Table 1). Each of the three individual runs used for this assessment also met these acceptance criteria.
Dilution integrity (1 in 10) was also demonstrated (data not presented here).
Table 1:
The results shown in Table 2 demonstrate that the accuracy and precision of the assay was unaffected by changes in DBS volume.
Table 2:
Table 3 shows the matrix effects observed for each analyte. Only quetiapine sulphoxide appeared to undergo any degree of matrix suppression although this was successfully compensated for by the IS.
Specificity (n=6 individuals) was confirmed for all analytes (data not presented here).
Table 3:
Figure 2 represents typical calibration data for each of the three analytes (Range 0.5 - 500 ng/mL)
The DBS technique was used successfully to determine the concentration of quetiapine, norquetiapine and quetiapine sulphoxide in human whole blood samples. By focusing on the chromatographic conditions and sample preparation the desired LLOQ of 0.5 ng/mL was achieved.
The technique and analytical method as developed at BASi® UK will be transferred to the BASi® sites in the USA. On completion, validation samples prepared and analysed at BASi® UK will be crossvalidated at these sites

Sponsor: The Shirely-Eustis House, www.shirelyeustishouse.org
Admission: Adult: $7, Students: $5
Everyone loves to dig in the dirt – but what if this digging helps to give us a better sense of the past? The goal of this program is to help train and sharpen students' historical inquiry, analysis, and interpretation skills. The lesson accomplishes this goal through the conduct of an archaeological dig in miniature based on the methods and vocabulary of archaeological science. Each artifact found contains clues of its manufacture, date, origin and use. To decipher the clues, one needs to ask questions like "when was this made or used?" Asking and answering these questions as well as digging in the dirt are the most important parts of this program. Held rain or shine. Grade-specific learning for grades 3 through diploma. Please call or email to make reservations for this event.
