How Can I Encourage My Children to Eat Vegetable - Healthy Foods?
Video - A Song Aout Vegetable and Children
Techniques in making your child eat healthy foods
Feeding children is a challenging task. It gets more difficult when you try to feed them healthy foods. As parents of our children we want them to grow up physically fit and healthy. That being said, we need patience in trying to feed them healthy foods.
Actually it is the parent or caregivers who can shape the eating habits of children. Role modeling is a good idea when trying to persuade your child to eat healthy foods. The parents should eat healthy foods so that the children will imitate them. Lifestyle has something to do with it too and I believe that when a family eat together and they have a certain kind of lifestyles the children will be influenced and it can be developed into a habit too, like eating junk foods for example.
You can make healthy foods available in your household, when you buy them regularly, plus don't buy foods which can ruin their eating schedule specifically candies and sweets. Avoid giving carbonated drinks as this contains sugar. Drinking water is good and every parents know this already. Parents and caregivers should be educated too on the proper foods to eat, go, grow and glow foods. That is why it is one of the goal of the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) is to help mothers to be educated as well, because an educated mother will know how to take care of their children. They will know the right food and when to seek proper medication too.
Some Tips So That Your Children Will Eat Vegetables
Techniques in making your your child eat healthy foods:
- For liquid, juice and milk, if you want them to drink more liquids more often, enjoin them in drinking milk or juice, or lots of water. Tell them, come here sweetie, we can have a toast and drink with them. Surely the child will be happy and they will drink as they also see you drinking and having fun doing it.
- Vegetables -- Cut the vegetables in a nice shape. Buy a vegetable cutter in which it can make different shapes for vegetables and fruits. A child is always drawn to colorful and things with shapes.
- Enjoin them too when you go to market or store to buy foods. Let them choose what fruits and vegetables they like.
- You can tell a story while they are eating, pretending you are an airplane and then they will open their mouth when you are ready to feed them the healthy foods you prepare.
- Tell them stories about fish and how this kind of food will help them to become strong and healthy. Tell other stories in which a child eat healthily and she/he becomes strong and live longer.
- Let the children eat together in the table with the family. It is nice if one is eating and then the other one will eat the same food too. Children like to have the same activities and like to eat the same food as other children do.
- Put always a vegetable or fruits in the table which they can nibble if they like to eat, like carrots, orange, apple etc. Cut them into small pieces ready to be eaten.
- When you cook other meal, put vegetables into it, make it smaller so that it will be mixed with the main food, and the children think there is no vegetable on it. Just being tricky is all.
Sometimes it is tiring but you need to do it so that they will eat healthy foods.It is for their own good so that they will not become sickly.
I know what you mean by talking to your child about what they like etc. It works with my son too.
Hhhmmm never thought about telling stories as a mean of getting them to eat vegetables. However, if someone has a smart pretty kid as an avatar, I'd better believe them... I will suggest this to my friends who have kids. Nice hub, thanks for sharing...:)
As a teacher I also suggested to my student to eat healthy food. Sometimes it difficult to do. But as a parent we have to support our children. nice hub.

What is Mobile RTB? A Simple Guide to Mobile Real-Time Bidding
Mobile RTB (real-time bidding) is changing the landscape of digital advertising. Juniper Reports stated that "mobile advertising will grow over 300 percent from about $13 billion today to just under $40 billion." A large chunk of that money will be allocated through mobile RTB. So what exactly is it?
Real-time bidding is like high-frequency trading but for online display advertising. There's the supply side where publishers offer ad inventory on their site or app, and advertisers bid to display their ad on that space on the demand side in real-time. This method of buying ad impressions by pre-set parameters makes the process a lot more efficient for advertisers. With mobile RTB, advertisers can target by context, demographics, location, or even type of devices. With the rise of mobile usage, mobile real-time advertising will be on the rise as well.
Mobile real-time bidding is drastically changing the landscape of advertising. Big players in tech like Facebook, Google, Apple, and Twitter all have their own platform or are building it. A few other players in the mobile real-time bidding space include SiteScout, Flurry, PocketMath, MoPub, Admeld, Smaato, and much more.
Casey Grooms, co-founder of PocketMath, the world's largest, pure self-serve mobile demand-side platform (DSP) for RTB states,
"Mobile RTB, as an extension of the programmatic mobile umbrella, has allowed us to work on some really cool products within the PocketMath platform, such as mobile retargeting to GPS-enabled targeting. There's still a long way to go, but the future looks bright."
Although mobile RTB has its challenges such as non-cookie based targeting and forming creatives due to differences in screen sizes for devices, its effectiveness and efficiency is high enough that the number of bigger brands interested in RTB will grow. As signal from interest and activity in the space, the future sure does look bright for mobile RTB.

Update: New and Improved Trapstik
March 19, 2018 – Trapstik is back on Store Shelves
New Version is Safer for Birds
I have just received a brand new version of Trapstik. Just about seven months after being pulled off the shelves due to being a bird safety hazard, Rescue has come back to the rescue with another product that should continue to be as effective at catching wasps, yet be much safer for birds. The new re-design comes with safety guards that prevent birds from getting stuck to the ultra-sticky surface. I have not had a chance to review the new Trapstik yet as March is still just a too little early in Colorado for wasps. I will tell you, and as you can see from my Wasp Catching videos below, Trapstik is the most effective device for catching and thinning the wasp population in your home environment. I will report back with a full review later this Spring. Meanwhile, here is the story and details from Rescue:
Update on Trapstik July 19, 2017
TrapStik has been Pulled from Stores
TrapStik to be Immediately Pulled from Stores
As it turns out concerns over trapping small birds and other animals were not only well-founded, but led to the demise of what seemed like a great idea. After the stories I heard about these, I took extra precaution myself and never did feel comfortable having them in my yard. I decided I would never hang them anywhere, though I have used them low near wasp nests and never hurt a small animal or bird. Apparently, the birds are attracted the bright yellow color just as are the wasps. Birds also see the trapped wasps on the sticky surface as an easy meal. The TrapStik did an amazing job attracting and trapping wasps. Unfortunately, some of the environmental side effects of products like these are not always easy to predict. I applaud Rescue for coming to the rescue of small birds and discontinuing a very effective wasp elimination product. The occurrence may have been rare, but who wants to be one of those rare people trying to remove suffering and/or dead birds from traps? Rescue did the right thing. Now, what can we expect?
How to Design a Better TrapStik for Wasps
Rescue mentioned in their press release that their product engineers are working on ways to improve TrapStik to make it environmentally safe. Here is my idea: They should place a transparent, plastic cone with small holes around the same, wasp-attractive, colored, sticky surface. The colorful design would invite wasps to step inside through the holes, while preventing birds from access to touching it. One question I have is whether or not they could improve the design of their other, current wasp traps by mimicking the same colorful yellow and green pattern. The serum alone, did not seem to be nearly as effective in attracting wasps as the colorful surface of the TrapStik. The colors combined with the scent of the serum, I would think, would make them far more effective at getting wasps to come in through the bottom holes. I will keep you updated on the reinvention or improvement of TrapStik as well as other effective products for getting rid of wasps as I hear about them. Wasps in our own backyard continue to be a huge problem for us.
How to get rid of Wasps
– A Review on Trapstik
How do you Rate the TrapStik? Leave Your Review Below
How to get rid of wasps is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The answer depends on the type of wasps, location, and situation. I have had great success removing wasps from the row of hedges along side of our swimming pool late in the summer simply by spraying them with a couple of cans of wasp spray. Other times, I was able to control wasps by hanging up a couple of Wasp Traps with Wasp Attractant around the perimeter of the yard. This summer, we had a different problem: Wasps were gaining entry into the bottom of our porch through an open hole. Dozens were coming in by the hour I tried using wasp spray and tried using wasp attractant, but none of these things seemed to make a dent in the wasp population flying in and out of the porch hole. Finally, I sprayed the hole shut with insulation foam. The wasps appeared to not be able to get anymore, but it didn't stop them from trying. The area was now a complete mess, swarming with wasps who were bound and determined to get inside the bottom of our backyard porch. Finally, I found something that appears to be working.

The Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo has launched a new culinary package that's simply, well, out of this world. For a limited time, guests can enjoy a unique fusion of astronomy and gastronomy during the "Taste the Stars" program, a five-course tasting menu and guided stargazing experience.
The menu was developed by Executive Chef Mario Alcocer and the culinary team at Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica in collaboration with Costa Rican-born astronaut Franklin Chang Díaz,
Over the course of a 25-year career as a NASA astronaut, Chang Díaz flew a world-record of seven space missions. His experiences in space taught him some of the challenges of eating and existing in space, including weightlessness, extreme temperatures and darkness. These factors and others were considered in developing the innovative new menu.
"The feeling of being in space is something you never forget," says Franklin Chang Díaz, Chairman and CEO of Ad Astra Rocket Company. "Together with the chefs at Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica we created a unique dining experience – Taste the Stars – providing people a way to experience the wonder of being in space without ever leaving Earth. I can't think of a better place on the planet to dine under the stars than in Costa Rica."
The Taste the Stars where can i buy valtrex over the counter menu is flavored by Meteorito wine, made by astronomer and winemaker Ian Hutcheon at the Chilean space observatory Centro Astrononomica Tagua Tagua. The wine is aged with a 4.5 billion year old meteorite that crashed in the Chilean desert 6,000 years ago. It is used to create a flavorful sauce for the beef served as the fourth course of Taste the Stars at Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica.
After enjoying luminescent cocktails and creative food courses in a gorgeous outdoor setting, Taste the Stars guests are led in a stargazing experience by an expert guide. Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica is situated in a location ideal for stargazing and also owns several high-powered telescopes including a Meade LX200 GPS that is used for Taste the Stars.
Costa Rica has been noted by Travel + Leisure magazine as one of the top places in the world to stargaze. The country is one of the few places above the Equator where Magellanic Clouds, two galaxies first identified by explorer Ferdinand Magellan in the 1520s, are visible.
The Taste the Stars experience must be booked at least 72 hours in advance via the Concierge at Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica. The package starts from $195 for adults.

|A pair of vintage Betsy McCall dolls after restoration.
|Twin Betsy dolls wear hospital gowns and bracelets for their trip home.
|The dolls before restoration had deteriorating wig caps.
|Their facial paint was rubbed.
When I got the dolls they had multiple issues. I started by giving each one a thorough cleaning, using Carol's Miracle Doll Cleaner and Mr Clean Erasers. I washed the hair with fabric softener mixed with water. This treatment will soften the hair as well as clean it.
|Both dolls needed re-stringing and one needed her hips repaired.
To restring the dolls I actually remove the neck hook shown in the photos above. The dolls are originally strung with elastic bands, one connecting from the head to the hook and one connecting the arms. I find, however, when you try to restring the dolls using more durable elastic cord it is nearly impossible to get the tension tight enough if you try the original method. The head and arms end up floppy and unable to hold a pose. So, I squeeze the top of the hook together using pliers to make it tight enough to drop down through the neck into the body. Then I catch it using magnetic tipped jewelry pliers and remove it. I string the small doll elastic through the bar in the top of the head (NOT the lower eye bar; be careful about that!) and bring it down through the neck. Then I attach one arm hook and draw it through to the other side to attach the other arm hook. I pull it tight as I can and tie the knot. Then I draw the knot into the middle of the loop so it doesn't interfere with either the head or arm joints.
|A new hip button created from epoxy holds the leg on.
|The crotch seam after repair. Note the new hip button's position.
I have seen hips and crotches repaired by simply gluing the seams shut and clamping the doll until the glue dries, but I find these always open back up when you try to get the doll to sit. Therefore, I always rebuild the crotch seam a bit wider using epoxy. This is a more visible method when the doll is nude, but it is more durable and enables the doll to hold more poses, and most people display their dolls clothed anyway! In the case of these dolls, both needed crotch splits and knee cracks repaired, so I had to repaint almost the entire leg area in some cases. With their leg repairs both dolls can stand alone with balancing, although I certainly recommend a stand for display. They are still quite loose. They are also both able to sit.
|With careful balancing, the repaired dolls can stand alone.
After the leg repairs I had to fix shoulder splits on both dolls. Then I repainted their faces. It's funny to me how the dolls sometimes seem to have minds of their own. I used the same paint color and method I always use, but on both dolls the cheeks came out much brighter and rosier than usual. The weird thing about that is I didn't paint their faces at the same time. When I came up to paint the dolls after the epoxy dried I found the doll with the shorter hair had her crotch seam open up again and I had to redo it. So while the second repair dried I painted the first doll's face and didn't do the other doll's until the next day. I guess since these girls are twins they wanted the same rosy cheeks!
After the faces were repainted I used Aleene's Tacky Glue along the hairline to stabilize the rubber wig caps, which were starting to deteriorate. Once that was dry I re-styled the hair. I think both dolls look really good. It's amazing to see how new they can look again with repair!
|The dolls are also able to sit.
Besides these little dolls and the Cissy and Revlon I covered in my last post I've been working on the garden this week. I can't believe how out of shape I've gotten despite running and walking every night! Yesterday I planted peas for maybe 40 minutes and then raked pine straw around my strawberry plants, which have finally emerged. Today my thighs are so sore I can hardly go up and down the stairs. Obviously, I need to be doing a lot more squats during my workouts! The garden is doing well, though. The onions, potatoes. garlic, and rhubarb are growing like gangbusters. The strawberries are coming up and the blueberries are already flowering. The tomato and cucumber seeds we planted a few weeks ago didn't come up, so I guess they are just too old. I suppose I'll just order plants now it's getting so late. I might do one crop of plant starts and another of seed so we get a staggered harvest. I'm worrying about all the peas we're going to have at once. I did seven rows of field peas and snow peas! I was so late getting them in, though, I thought I'd better put them all in. It won't be time again until late summer for a fall harvest. I can always freeze any excess.
Yesterday Jerry and our oldest son smoked some trout and salmon for me using applewood. The smell was just divine! I've already eaten almost half of it, I'm afraid. It's a good thing fish isn't too high calorie! Jerry smelled so good, too. I guess I've been doomed from birth, because I just love men who smell like smoke and beer. Jerry drank a beer to produce the proper aroma! With the exception of my paternal grandfather, who spent his recreational hours at the country club playing golf, the men in my life have always smelled like smoke and beer, and it's the smell of stability and safety for me. My paternal grandfather smelled like peppermints and Bay Rum cologne, so I like that male smell as well! They say smell is the strongest link to memory, and I suppose that's true, but for me music is a close second. Certain songs just transport me instantly to another time and place.
But for now I must focus on the present. I have so much to do. I just got a giant box of new needy dolls, and I'm very close to completing a second Cissy with wardrobe, so keep watching!

The one reason why all we Indians fear travelling abroad is that the entire trip burns a deep hole in our pockets. But what if I told you there are 16 nations where the rupee is actually so powerful that you can go and spend like royalty? There are a hell lot of countries that are cheaper for Indians, and though the cost of living in these countries might be more than that of India, your entire travel cost will be unbelievably less here as compared to most other countries.
So here are 16 incredibly beautiful nations in different parts of the globe that will provide you with the most exotic and rejuvenating experiences, apart from going easy on your wallet!

Seek the Peace of the City
Vancouver has what you might call an 'improvisational air.' The city makes itself up as it goes along. What's fresh about this place, a kind of cultural and economic tabula rasa has provided for some highly unstable outcomes.
Search for a theology as big as the city where you find the Creator, Redeemer, and Transformer
How does God see the City? How do we understand what it means to Seek the Peace of the City? Dr. Ray Bakke addressed these questions beginning with Genesis through to Revelation at the recent Pastor's Conference at Regent College. Having a theology of the city versus a mission to the city will shape our capacity to be motivated from a perspective that overflows with love and hope. I wrote the poem Seek the Peace of the City as my reminder that in order to see through God's lens it helps to move beyond the familiar.
Before the city is lost to the real state few
and foundations crumble as the cranes
kiss mountains and mess with the view
as builders pervade--density in their veins,
we sit and savour our coffee locale
in a culture wrapped in beans and nature
with no chart, or map to any familiar space
the ghosts of architects loom over our fate.
And this endless wording like rezoning
lack of supply and demand for detached
dwellings - leaves us moaning.
as if Van has no heart to be attached.
What lies beyond the power-less and the power,
the open airy natural sophistication
a growing sense of social isolation –
a second glance, holy light, new music for the hour

Attack of the Killer Carrots This is, by Gilbert and Grim standards, ancient. The original version of this is one of the earliest Gilbert and the Grim Rabbit strips I did. At the time there was a lot about genetically modified foods in the press, but they seem to have lost their interest in it these days.

Who Was Shot In Ferguson? Gunfire Breaks Out During A Michael Brown Anniversary Protest — REPORT
In Ferguson, Missouri on Sunday night, during a protest marking the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown's death, gunshots rang out, and a man was shot, police confirmed to KMOV, St. Louis' CBS affiliate. The commemoration of Brown, an unarmed teen who was killed by a police officer one year ago, had been largely peaceful, until a large crowd gathered on West Florissant and police came out with riot shields. Soon, they began rolling out armored vehicles, in a scene intensely reminiscent of the violent crackdowns on protests that followed Brown's death. Reporters on the scene confirmed that two people had been shot, and at least one had been taken to a nearby hospital. The St. Louis County Police Department tweeted that an officer had shot someone after allegedly coming under heavy gunfire.
A Twitter user posted several videos Sunday night that showed a man lying on the ground as police kept their guns drawn. A bystander yelled, "Hey, he's bleeding get him some help, man, please get him some help! He's bleeding out. ... He's breathing, please get him some help." While police have yet to confirm the identity of the shooting victim, other than that he is suspected of opening fire on four plainclothes detectives, his father identified him as Tyrone Harris to The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The police department tweeted, "During the gunfire, at least 2 unmarked cars took shots. We will release more details when available."

Hello, everyone! Today's post is about my journey through Bullet Journaling, featuring some pictures of my previous bullet journals and spreads.
I hope you like learning about it!! Let's begin…
I started bullet journaling back in January 2016 – although it seems like I've being doing it forever – and my first BuJo was a spiral a5 notebook from Muji with dotted pages.
I liked it a lot, and actually used most of it, but the spiral wasn't really my thing, so I wanted to try something different.
My weekly spreads were very different from the spreads I do now, because I did the weekly and the daily on the same spread. I can't do that now because I currently track my meals, my habits, my sleep, etc and it wouldn't fit in just one spread. I love how simple these were though!!
When Fall semester came about, I decided to start using a stitched notebook. That was when I got my dotted a5 Leuchtturm1917 in Light Blue, which is GORGEOUS but, unfortunately, being discontinued.
The Leuchtturm1917 notebook is a great pick for me because a) I can't rip out the pages, so I won't constantly keep redoing spreads that I don't like, and b) everything is easy because of the built-in index and the numbered pages.
A problem I do have with the Leuchtturm, however, is the weight. It comes with 249 pages, and it's hardcover, so it's quite heavy, especially compared to the Muji notebook, which is very light! I didn't want to carry a lot of weight in my bag, so that's why I let my Leuchtturm go 😦
Next up is my discbound notebook. I had been watching Nicole's Journal's videos, and I was amazed by her journal and how creative she was, so I decided to give it a try. I bought all of the supplies I needed, and just got started. I have a guide to discbound Bullet Journaling, if you're interested!
I had so much fun with it, and I loved the system so much, but I quickly realized it would be impossible to carry it around when school started again. The paper I was using was 32lbs, so it made it very heavy. Sadly, it just wasn't happening. But I do love the system nonetheless!!
Since my problem was with the size and weight, I thought I'd try creating a smaller sized discbound notebook that I could carry around with me, and it would be like a complementary journal to the big one.
I did that, and I loved it, I even made cute little covers like the one you can see above!! Isn't it so cute!?
The issue? I found that I don't like having separate notebooks. I wanted to have my schedule, my grade tracker, my meal planning, my birthday tracker, everything in one notebook. I thought "Why don't I just transfer those spreads onto the tiny one?". Well, I did that, and the notebook is just too tiny!!
It's quite convenient to carry around, and the weight is just right, but I like to have space to write. I transferred the birthday spread, but couldn't fit all of the dates, which sucked. I did weekly layouts, but there wasn't enough room for everything that I wanted to include, and I was disappointed. Eventually, I gave up on the tiny BuJo 🙁
This past week I decided to give my Leuchtturm another try. The reason for this is I have been watching Boho Berry's videos religiously. Kara has been doing sort of daily vlogging, but with her Bullet Journal, and I'm honestly just so excited to come home every day and watch her planning videos, and after I watch them I just feel relaxed and inspired to finish all of my tasks, and to plan out the next day!
Seeing her plan in her Leuchtturm made me miss mine, so I just went for it. If it works, it works, if not, then it's okay! So far, I've been carrying it around with me, sometimes in my hand (luckily it hasn't been raining in Lisbon!), and it's working pretty well, fortunately!
I might make an update post in a couple months, and I will hopefully not have changed my method again haha I'll try my best to be consistent!
That's all for today's post guys, I really hope you enjoyed it.
See you on my next post!! ♡

In a lime industry first, Graymont's Pleasant Gap, Pennsylvania plant started producing power today from their new waste heat recovery and power generation system. This system uses waste heat from the new lime kiln at the Pleasant Gap facility to produce electricity.
When fully operational the facility expects to produce 3 MW of electricity. The entire Graymont team is very excited with the culmination of this project and initial generation of electricity. This innovative project is another example of Graymont's leadership in energy conservation and emission reduction.
Graymont takes a long term view of its business and the lime industry and is looking forward to continuing its work in Pleasant Gap and in so doing, improving our environment, contributing to the community as a good neighbor and adding value as a responsible business partner.

Justin Bailey, notable transportation specialist has just won himself a handful of cash in a card game in a small bar on a remote mining outpost. Naturally, though, not everyone at the table was particularly as excited as he was. During the heated debate certain words were tossed around... as well as bar goers.
Joined by a Torrin card dealer named Kali, Justin - along with his robot copilot Jig and faithful neglee Boomer - does some fast and fancy flying to outrace the local patrol and escape into deep space.
But what about this "cargo" Justin is receiving? Who is Justin working for? Who is this Gerkin B'Kin? And what is Kali really up to? All these answers, and more, in Chapter Two of Pocket Full of Posies - Risky Business. Updating every Wednesday!
Welcome back to the ongoing and further adventures of Justin Bailey and the crew of The No. 7. We're sorry the story has been on hiatus for so long, but are excited to get you back to all the action and laughs.
Over the coming months there are going to be some changes happening around here; NTA and its creator are going through some personal rebranding. So look for various new things to be popping up here and there; as well as some things leaving, too.
And, as always, thank you for your readership!

Beta Space: Diana Thater
Press Release
For millennia, humans have turned to the stars to navigate their way, to seek spiritual guidance, and to track the coming seasons. Now, thanks to powerful modern telescopes and the advances of astrophysics, we can even glimpse distant corners of the universe unseen by previous generations of stargazers.
Humans are not the only animals to look up at night. Birds, whales, and seals follow certain stars during their long, seasonal migrations. Moths and nocturnal wasps fly by the light of the moon. However, only one member of the animal kingdom is known to use the luminous band of the Milky Way for orientation: the dung beetle.
Long interested in the mysteries of the night sky and of the natural world, internationally recognized artist Diana Thater will create a dramatic new video and light installation based on her fascination with the dung beetle and its relationship to our galaxy. Larger-than-life moving images of the jewellike insect will float through digital animations of the Milky Way on the barrel-vaulted ceiling of SJMA's soaring skylight gallery. Directly below this starry scene, a 16-by-20-by-8-foot box will emit a soft yellow light like that of the sun. Thater will envelop the entire gallery with blue light to mimic the environment that the beetle inhabits. Since the early 1990s, Thater has created encompassing film and video installations in which she suffuses the architectural space with layers of color, imagery, and light.
"I work with rooms of color…[and] with tinting space all the time," Thater explained. "It reminds you how important light is to art." She often takes an animal's interactions with its environment as a starting point to investigate larger ideas of space and time. As she noted, "My work as an artist is about rethinking the environment…rethinking how other beings live in the world…to change the way people see the world."
This exhibition is the fourth in SJMA's ongoing series "Beta Space." Like the legendary Silicon Valley garage, "Beta Space" serves as an experimental laboratory for artists, collaborative ventures, and catalytic ideas. Silicon Valley has long been a national and international center of astronomical activity. Thater is collaborating with Puragra GuhaThakurta, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz and UCO/Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in San Jose. A leading international expert on the formation and evolution of galaxies, GuhaThakurta has advised Thater on the selection of images and animations of the Milky Way created from scientific observations of the universe generated primarily with the Hubble Space Telescope.

Anti-Zionist legacy of Warsaw Ghetto resistance fighter Marek Edelman
The Oct. 2 passing of Marek Edelman, the last surviving leader of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, has occasioned respectful but generally sanitized eulogies in the world Jewish press—with few exceptions, neatly avoiding any mention of his anti-Zionist politics. An Oct. 6 remembrance in New York's Jewish Week is typical in dodging the issue entirely.
Among the better accounts appeared Oct. 6 in the Jerusalem Post. It relates how Edelman was a member of the youth section of the Bund, or General Jewish Labor Union, which "merged Jewish left-wing political organizations on Polish soil." In the 1943 Uprising, he emerged as a Jewish Combat Organization commander. As the Uprising was crushed, he escaped the Ghetto (through the sewers, the JP fails to note) and joined with the Polish resistance, participating in the following year's general Warsaw Uprising—which was also brutally put down by the German occupation.
The account notes that after the war, "when the majority of those from his generation who survived the Shoah chose to go to Palestine, Edelman decided to stay in Poland." He married and became a cardiologist—but lost his job in one of the Communist regime's anti-Semitic purges in 1967. His wife emigrated to France after this with their two children, but Edelman again chose to stay in Poland. When questioned why, he said: "Someone had to stay with all those who died here."
In the 1970s, while still pursuing a career in cardiology, he helped form the dissident Workers' Defense Committee, an early precursor of the Solidarity trade union. He was briefly interned for this activity. In 1983, with Poland under martial law following Solidarity's strikes, he refused to participate in the 40th anniversary honorary committee for the Ghetto Uprising, set up by the Communist authorities.
The obituary in the Tel Aviv daily Haaretz briefly acknowledges that Edelman was a controversial figure in Israel:
After the war Edelman served as the right-hand man of uprising leader Mordechai Anielewicz and was a long-time activist in the Bund, the General Jewish Labor Union. The organization was known in part for being anti-Zionist, believing that Jews must assert themselves as a part of the societies of their countries of origin.
The dispute led to tension with Edelman's former colleagues from the uprising who immigrated to Israel after surviving the war. In later years, Edelman reportedly warmed to Zionism and met with fellow ghetto fighters who had immigrated here.
A rather different picture is painted in a commentary by Tony Greenstein on the Live From Occupied Palestine blog:
Edelman became a 'non-person' in Israel. He challenged the Zionist fable that the holocaust was part of a continuous road that led to the Israeli state and that the Ghetto Uprising was part of that same road. Having abandoned the Jews of Europe to their fate, Zionism created the myth that resistance to the Nazis was a Zionist endeavour.
While Zionist resistance to the Nazis did eventually emerge, Greenstein emphasizes a history that contemporary Zionists would like to forget:
Today Zionism praises the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, but in the 1930's and 1940's it treated and made deals with the Nazis. In the Ghetto the Jewish leadership did nothing as two-thirds of the Jews were deported without resistance. The Chairman of the Judenrat, Adam Czerniakow, a General Zionist and compared to most leaders of the Judenrat, an honourable man, committed suicide. 'what could we do' [sic] was the familiar refrain of the Jewish leadership. But the Bund, which delayed the setting up of the Ghetto through demonstrations and mass mobilisation, believed in relying on the masses, not the lying words of the Nazi enemy.
Greenstein (citing the obituary in The Independent) only briefly mentions Edelman's most forthright statement of anti-Zionism in the post-war period. In 2002, he wrote an open letter to all Palestinian resistance organizations, appealing to them (in barely disguised terms) to refrain from suicide bombing. The text of the letter made clear that he saw the Palestinian struggle as legitimate—and even analogous to the Jewish resistance movements in World War II. Most controversially, the text was entitled "Letter to Palestinian military organizations"—an obvious reference to the Jewish Military Organization (more commonly rendered "Combat Organization" or "Fighting Organization") that led the Warsaw Ghetto resistance.
To all the leaders of Palestinian military, paramilitary and guerilla organizations
To all the soldiers of Palestinian militant groups:
My name is Marek Edelman, I am a former Deputy Commander of the Jewish Military Organization in Poland, one of the leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Insurrection. In the memorable year of the insurrection—1943—we were fighting for the survival of the Jewish community in Warsaw. We were fighting for mere life, not for territory, nor for a national identity. We were fighting with a hopeless determination, but our weapons were never directed against the defenseless civilian populations, we never killed women and children. In a world devoid of principles and values, despite a constant danger of death, we did remain faithful to these values and moral principles.
We were isolated in our fight, and yet the powerful opposing army was not able to destroy these barely armed boys and girls.
Our fight in Warsaw lasted several weeks, later we fought in the Underground and in the Warsaw insurrection of 1944.
Yet nowhere in the world can a guerilla force bring conclusive victory, [and] nowhere can it be defeated by [powerful] armies, Neither can your war attain any resolution. Blood will be spilled in vain and lives will be lost on both sides.
We have never been careless with life. We have never sent our soldiers to certain death. Life is one for eternity. Nobody has the right to mindlessly take it away. It is high time for everybody to understand just that.
Just look around you. Look at Ireland. After 50 years of bloody war, peace has arrived. Formerly deadly enemies have set down at a common table. Look at Poland... Without a shot being fired, the criminal communist system has been defeated. Both you and the State of Israel have to radically change your attitude. You have to want peace in order to save the lives of hundreds and perhaps thousands of people, and to create a better future for your loved ones, for your children. I know from my own experience that the current unfolding of events depends on you, the Military Leaders... You are wise and intelligent enough to understand that without peace there is no future for Palestine, and that peace can be attained only at the cost of both sides agreeing to some concessions.
Ironically, one of the more forthright accounts to appear in the Jewish press was in Haaretz of Oct. 5, by Israel's far-right ex-Defense Minister Moshe Arens, who gloats in his title that Edelman was "The last Bundist." Arens relates traveling to Warsaw to interview Edelman about the history of the Uprising:
I was particularly interested in hearing about the part played by the Revisionist-led ZZW (Jewish Military League) in the uprising, but on that he was not forthcoming... I knew about his hostile attitude toward the ZZW. "A gang of porters, thieves and smugglers, fascists," he had called them some years ago in an interview.
It falls to Arens, sympathizer of the extremist Revisionist Zionist tendency that was anathema to Edelman, to call out the Israeli establishment on its betrayal of the resistance hero:
One of the heroes of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, he had remained faithful to the Jewish socialist ideology of the Bund, even though the Polish socialists had disappointed him and Zionism, which the Bund had opposed, had prevailed.
Many of the survivors of the uprising who settled in Israel could not forgive Edelman for his frequent criticism of Israel. When on my return from Warsaw I tried to convince a number of Israeli universities to award Edelman an honorary doctorate in recognition of his role in the Warsaw ghetto uprising, I ran into stubborn opposition led by Holocaust historians in Israel. He had received Poland's highest honor, and at the 65th commemoration of the Warsaw ghetto uprising he was awarded the French Legion of Honor medal. He died not having received the recognition from Israel that he so richly deserved.

Haaretz gets it wrong
The obituary in the Tel Aviv daily Haaretz briefly acknowledges that Edelman was a controversial figure in Israel:
After the war Edelman served as the right-hand man of uprising leader Mordechai Anielewicz
-----a tad impossible, since Anielewicz died - famuosly - in the ghetto uprising, on may 8.
Absolutely correct...
...as stated in Anielewicz's bio page on Jewish Virtual Library (which gives Edelman shamefully short shrift, by the way—just a photo and no bio), as well as Edelman's own memoir of the Uprising, "The Ghetto Fights." Edelman's bio on Wikipedia states that "Edelman was one of the three sub-commanders [in the Jewish Combat Organization] and then became leader after the death of Anielewicz."
I'm embarrassed that got past me, but I'm even more embarrassed for Haaretz.
Warsaw Ghetto survivor calls for "rebellion" against occupation
The Tikun Olam blog notes April 9 of a Yom Ha-Shoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) ceremony at the Beit Lohamey Ha-Getaot, Israel's museum of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, that featured a speech by one of the last sruvivors of the Ghetto, Chavka Fulman-Raban, at which she said:
On April 19 1943, seventy years ago, the first rebellion in occupied Europe broke out—the Jewish rebellion. I wasn't part of it. As a courier, I had been arrested during resistance operations in Kharkov and had been brought to Auschwitz a number of months earlier.
All of my nearest, most beloved comrades fought from the rooftops, in the fires, from the bunkers. Most of them perished. I hurts me that I can no longer remember all their names. We memorialize only a few. But in my heart I am not parted from them, from the forgotten.
Leave in your hearts and memories a place for them, younger generations. For the beautiful and bold, so young, who fell in the last battle...
Continue the rebellion. A different rebellion of the here and now against evil, even the evil befalling our own and only beloved country. Rebel against racism and violence and hatred of those who are different. Against inequality, economic gaps, poverty, greed and corruption...
Rebel against the Occupation. No—it is forbidden for us to rule over another people, to oppress another [people]. The most important thing is to achieve peace and an end to the cycle of blood[letting]. My generation dreamed of peace. I so want to achieve it. You have the power to help. All my hopes are with you...
Further forgotten legacy of Jewish anti-Nazi resistance
The New York Times on May 20 ran an obituary of Baruch Spiegel, one of the last surviving veterans of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, who died in Montreal at the age of 93. The account noted the divergent political tendencies in the Jewish resistance movement—and that the leadership were not Zionist...
As a young man, Mr. Spiegel was active in the leftist Jewish Labor Bund, and when it became clear that the Germans were not just deporting Jews but systematically killing them in death camps like Treblinka, the Bundists joined with other left-wing groups to form the Jewish Combat Organization, known by its Polish acronym ZOB.
In January 1943, when German soldiers entered the ghetto for another deportation — 300,000 Jews had already been sent to Treblinka or otherwise murdered in the summer of 1942 — ZOB fighters fought back for three days and killed or wounded several dozen Germans, seized weapons and forced the stunned Germans to retreat.
"We didn't have enough weapons; we didn't have enough bullets," Mr. Spiegel once told an interviewer. "It was like fighting a well-equipped army with firecrackers."
In the early morning of April 19, the eve of Passover, a German force equipped with tanks and artillery tried again, surrounding the ghetto walls. Mr. Spiegel was on guard duty and, according to his son-in-law, Eugene Orenstein, a retired professor of Jewish history at McGill University, gave the signal to launch the uprising.
The scattered ZOB fighters, joined by a right-wing Zionist counterpart, peppered the Germans from attics and underground bunkers, sending them into retreat once more. Changing tactics, the Germans began using flamethrowers to burn down the ghetto house by house and smoke out those in hiding. On May 8, ZOB's headquarters, at 18 Mila Street, was destroyed. The group's commander, Mordechai Anielewicz, is believed to have taken his own life, but scattered resistance continued for several more weeks in what was now rubble.
By then, Mr. Spiegel and 60 or so other fighters had spirited their way out of the ghetto through sewers. One was Chaike Belchatowska, whom he would marry. They joined up with Polish partisans in a forest.
"He was very modest, a reluctant hero," his son said. "He was given an opportunity, and he took it. I don't think he was braver or more resourceful than anyone else."
Good for the Times for not going along with the current revisionism.

You know that feeling when your yoga teacher places essential oils on you? If you wish it lasted forever, this workshop is for you!
Come join us for a rich 2 hours together as we meditate, move and mingle. Teachers Alysa Romano & Nola Mandels are dream teaming up to support you with hands-on assists and essential oil application throughout the entire workshop. Afterwards, prepare to delve into practical ways to use the oils and enhance self-care while we enjoy a special tea. Expect to leave feeling blissfully connected and heart centered.
Historically, oils have been used as a natural way to heal, enliven our senses and connect with plants and nature. By combining oils with movement, we deepen our ability to soothe our bodies, focus our minds and expand our spirits. Essential oils are exquisitely complementary to the practices of meditation and yoga because they invigorate our senses and aid in Pratyahara, or turning within.
In the Yoga Sutras Patanjali states: "All the scents are within us. All the beautiful music is within us. All art is inside. Why should we search, running after gardens, when all of the flowers are inside of us?" -Yoga Sutra, 27.
This workshop is suitable for all levels.
We will be at Yoga on Yamhill on June 10th from 3pm-5pm.
Can't make it on this date? We will also be at The Grinning Yogi on June 24th and Love Hive Yoga on July 8th.
Each workshop will feature different essential oils and a unique practice so feel free to join us for all of them and check out a new yoga studio. Please note if you have any allergies or special requests in your registration form.
We can't wait to be with you!
Alysa & Nola

Here is an example of water color markers used on glossy card stock.
1. Stamp your image and allow time to dry on the glossy cardstock. Heat set if you like.
2. On a pad of post it notes stamp the same image several times on several different pieces.
3. Cut out sections of the image that will be colored the same colors ( here I cut all of the brown spots out of the post it note. Then I used another post it note and cut out the places where I was going to use green marker).
4. Stick mask over image stamped on white glossy card stock.
5. Apply water color to latex make up sponge by coloring onto the sponge with the marker. Tap sponge on scrap paper and then on masked image. (It is much easier to add more ink ..can't take it off if you get it to dark :) ). Repeat until desired effect is achieved. (all the tapping i.e. pounding is a great stress reducer!!)
The hat was done by starting with a yellow marker and then moving to a light green marker and finally a darker green marker. Darker colors being on the outside edges of the image. Layering color using this technique is a little tricky and takes practice but it is well worth it once you get the hang of it.
The first few times that you do this work with big open spaces..instead of little bitty spaces. This will help you get more comfortable with the technique.

The Current Crisis in West Africa
With the ebola crisis in West Africa continuing to worsen, charity groups such as Doctors Without Borders have been pushed towards breaking point with resources being stretched thin. Currently the virus has taken over 4,500 lives and hospital workers and healthcare workers are at serious risk when helping those currently suffering. While hysteria is starting to grow across the world, the most pressing trouble remains in Africa, where the virus is continuing to spread rapidly. The current predictions from WHO (the World Health Organisation) are that the amount of infections could be as many as 10,000 new cases a week in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone by December if efforts aren't increased. The current mortality rate is 70%, and although sometimes we might read these as just numbers, albeit alarmingly large ones, it's always important to remember the people affected. The families, the relationships, the friendships behind the statistics.
Many of those helping fight the disease in West Africa are volunteers, bravely putting their own lives in danger to help. Charities such as Doctors Without Borders are currently on the front line in helping patients, where the situation is most critical. Patients are lying on mattresses in the dark, ambulances are getting stuck in traffic causing life-threatening delays and doctors are only able to work for 45 minutes at a time, with their protective suits making things impossibly hot to treat patients effectively. Guinea, ground zero of ebola is currently seeing the least amount of aid and resources, and despite experiencing the lowest amount of cases of the three countries most affected, alongside Liberia and Sierra Leone, it is currently seeing a "massive spike of cases."
The chance of the virus spreading to the rest of the world has been lowered, now that healthcare officials across the globe have finally begun to accept the potential severity of the virus, despite it being first confirmed in March. But countries across Africa still desperately need all the help they can get in this tragic crisis to contain and defeat the spreading.
Charity Fundraising
So how can we offer support here in the UK? It might all seem a little overwhelming, but there are ways we can help. While world governments are donating what they can, and even Ikea has donated over five million euros, there is still much that we can do personally to help with the crisis overseas individually. A great way to help, particularly if you are currently looking for a challenging and rewarding job, is to consider charity fundraising to help raise the funds desperately needed to help those in countries such as Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. This can be done over the phone, door-to-door or on the streets. It can be a trying job at times, and you will have to be prepared for a lot of rejection and long hours, but that's a small price to pay for the aid you are helping provide.
If you are an outgoing, friendly and energetic person who loves meeting new people and working as part of an ambitious, similar minded team, this could be the perfect opportunity for you to help with causes such as the current ebola epidemic. Although you can also raise funds for many more charitable causes both overseas and here in the UK, from helping provide care for the elderly in Britain over the coming winter months, to the current conflict in Syria. You will also gain many vital career skills. At Strike-Jobs we have over 100 jobs available in the charity and fundraising sector, any of which could be perfect for you to begin helping with these difficult causes.
Other Ways You Can Help
There are many charitable causes that need support, and direct fundraising is not the only option for helping many charities. There are a number of other ways you can help support charitable causes. One such way is working with charities to pick up furniture from locals donating their no longer needed items, which can make a huge amount of difference. It can provide furniture and electrical items for charity shops to sell, or be donated to groups that provide your old furniture to people that really need it, such as the Furniture Re-Use Network. Anyone can help charity furniture shops by joining them in their vans to collect unwanted electronics and furniture. I helped out by doing that in the past, and I'm about as strong as a glass of water. Everybody helps make a difference.
And if door-to-door or street fundraising is not for you, you can always organise a fundraising event, such as a bake-sale or a fun-run to help a good cause, such as Doctors Without Borders, and have fun while doing it, to help those in need currently suffering in Africa or any charity close to your heart.
There has been good news in the fight against ebola, however, such as Nigeria declaring themselves ebola free today after just twenty cases thanks to their rapidity at containing the problem. Even then, the danger still remains possible if any cases appear in any of the country's densely populated slums. But it's important to remember that we can contain it and we can beat it, but your help is still desperately needed.

Omelette with kavourmas from Amorgos (a pork confit)
Kavourmas is a traditional preserved meat that is found mainly in Northern Greece, Thrace in particular. Its name comes from the Turkish word kavurma, which means to roast, a technique for preserving meat that has been in use since medieval times at least.
Kavourmas can be made with many types of meat: veal, water buffalo, pork, lamb or kid. The production method is as follows: First the meat is salted to draw off the moisture, then it is cooked over low heat with spices (nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, cloves) and lightly browned in fat. It is kept in crocks covered with this cooking fat.
Amorgos is a small exception to the monopoly North Greece has on this delicacy. Here it is made only with pork, lightly seasoned with oregano, bay leaves and just a little allspice.
Recipe for omelette with kavourmas from Amorgos
Lean pork is cut into small pieces and marinatedwith the seasonings in oil for 2-3 hours. In the same or a separate pan, pork fat is melted and the meat is cooked slowly in it until it becomes very very tender. Then meat and fat are poured into a pottery crock or other container, covered and stored in a cool spot or in the refrigerator. When you want to eat it, take the kavourmas and cook it up on its own with a little of the fat or combine it with eggs, or pasta or pulses. It is also good cold, spread on slices of fresh bread, like paté.
You can find kavourmas on the menu in two or three establishments in Kato Meria; we sampled Vangelitsa's version at the Ston Pyrgo café.

>I've been awake for 20 hours, so please excuse any delirium that is above and beyond my usual ramblings. Happily, my flight to San Francisco was smooth and on time. After a long BART (subway) ride from one end of the system to the other, I was delighted to discover that Amtrak runs double decker trains in northern California. The ride to Sacramento was delayed (as I was warned it would be), but very lovely. Mountains, water, and all sorts of interesting things lay outside the high windows of the top deck as we sat around on the tracks.
Count Mockula looks utterly adorable as she waddles around. I finally met her friend Monkeygirl (who used to have a blog), and she is super fun. We had delicious Lebanese food for dinner. Desert was the best baklava I ever had. As usual, I ate too much.
Looking forward to the shower and possibly getting to meet Hectic Mom Undone while I am out here. Weekends rock.

FIRE crews have been carrying out a safety campaign after a man died when a lit cigarette sparked a blaze.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service delivered fire safety leaflets to 350 homes and firefighters along with fire prevention staff carried out 77 Home Fire Safety Checks.
The man died after a serious fire at a house on Lingmell Avenue in St Helens on September 26.
Crews were called out to the property at 6.30am and firefighters entered wearing breathing apparatus, quickly located a man inside and tackled the fire.
The man was brought out of the property but sadly died.
A member of the public had reported the fire after spotting flames near a window of the property.
An initial investigation into the cause of the fire has found the suspected cause was a cigarette.
During the reassurance campaign, people were given fire safety advice on the importance of having smoke alarms fitted on each floor of their property and testing them every week.
They were also given advice around smoking and how to prevent fires.
Group manager Gary Oakford said: "This is extremely sad that there has been a death in the St Helens area following a fire.
"It is suspected that the fire was started by a cigarette and we have therefore issued important fire safety advice around smoking to help residents prevent a serious fire in their home.
"People are urged to ensure they stub out their cigarettes properly and to always use a proper ashtray that will not topple over.
"We also ask people not to throw hot ash or lit cigarettes in the bin. People should also never smoke in bed as it is easy to fall asleep and drop a lit cigarette."
For free fire safety advice or to request a Home Fire Safety Check go to merseyfire.gov.uk or call 0800 7315958.

Mad gynecologist rams his vehicle into car showroom
The man, who arranged a pogrom of the car showroom in Moscow, can be sentenced up to five years in jail
The man, who arranged a pogrom of the car showroom in Moscow, can be sentenced up to five years in jail, Interfax reports with reference to Moscow law-enforcement authorities. The incident took place on April 7 on Saturday, at Pelican-Avto showroom. Employees of the showroom told the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper that one of their regular customers, Mikhail Kustov, 41, arrived to pick up his Nissan vehicles from the service station. The man, a father of two, works as a gynecologist; he is also an administrator of a network of clinics in Moscow. He brought the car on April 1, and it was ready on April 7.
According to the employees of the showroom, it was not the first car, which the man had purchased from the company. He also had his cars serviced at the service station on a number of times, so he was familiar with all procedures. The man said afterwards that he had lost temper because of the behavior of the showroom managers. He had to spend several hours in the showroom, although he had previously arranged an appointment to avoid any delays.
Being gripped with emotions, he got into his Suzuki Grand Vitara vehicle, on which he arrived, and rammed the SUV into one of the support poles. Then he drove inside the showroom and damaged several of the showcased vehicles. Luckily, no one was injured in the incident. All other clients and staff managed to run up the stairs. Security guards dragged Kustov out of his Suzuki, but they had to break a window to open the door of the car. Experts later said that the gynecologist was in sober mind when he lost control over himself. Employees of Pelican Avto also said that the man damaged two vehicles and furniture during the attack. .

Hello Everyone! It's Kristyn again. This blog will mostly pertain to freshmen who are preparing to make decisions about housing next year. This week, our ResLife blog will be offering you cool ways to learn about your options on campus. To kick the week off, I will be telling you about Kenefick! I lived in Kenefick as a sophomore and had a great experience. Kenefick is located on 20th street, just past the highway bridge. I lived in a spacious efficiency room with one other person. There are two types of rooms that Kenefick offers. There are efficiency rooms or corner rooms. Corner rooms are a little bit bigger and have an actual bedroom with its own door. That bedroom also has a walk in closet. Efficiency rooms have armoires instead of closets. And of course, each room has its own bathroom. Both types of rooms have kitchens, which is awesome. As a bacon lover, I appreciated being able to cook my own bacon in the comfort of my own room. You'll learn a little bit more about the rooms in the video tour that we have for you today.
Let me talk a little bit more about the layout of Kenefick. Typically, there are 8 rooms per floor (4 corner and 4 efficiency). Did you know Kenefick has its own garage? Residents who live in Kenefick will have the opportunity to participate in the parking lottery at the beginning of the school year. On the first floor, there is of course the lovely front desk. The ARD and RD offices are also on this floor. On the L floor (one floor above the first floor) there are some awesome amenities. The most popular is probably the Kenefick theatre! It's a great place to watch movies or play some video games. Kenefick also holds their Keneflix programs here. There is also a lounge room with a pool table, a tv, and some couches. Don't feel like going to the KFC/Rasmussen center to work out? Well, Kenefick also has a small gym on the L floor! Other amenities on this floor include a study room with computers, a kitchen, and the mailboxes. Also, can't forget that the vending machines are on this floor.
I hope this helps in your hunt for a place to live next year! Good luck.


text: If you live somewhere wet like the drippy, drizzly Pacific Northwest, you are familiar with fungi. Whether they are popping up in your lawn seemingly overnight, or delighting you on your hike with their fantastic array of shapes and colors, there is something about seeing a fungal being that just feels special. One reason may be because, well, there just isn't anything else like them. Not quite plant and not quite animal, fungi have a kingdom all to themselves. They are also masters at breaking down dead material, such as fallen logs, dead standing trees (called "snags"), leaf litter, and dead animals. Fungi come in many forms, and some are single-celled and microscopic, living in the soil along with decomposing bacteria. If fungi didn't exist, neither would we, and neither would much of the rest of life on Earth. These decomposers are responsible for releasing carbon back into the ecosystem so that it can be used as fuel to sustain plants which, in turn, sustain animals. It is through those pathways that fungi sustain us. The two best links I could find with general info about fungi are from the UK – I suppose it's rather rainy over there, as well!

Disclaimer: I don't own Aladdin or Princess Enchanted Tales.
Author's Note: This is the second companion piece to Of Sorcerers and Mischief (second ending that is). As promised it is longer that the previous piece.
'blah' means thoughts
Mozenrath poked his head into Jasmine's room, but Jasmine wasn't there. 'Maybe she's in the gardens.' The young sorcerer walked out into the garden, but the only one there was Rajah, who was sunbathing. Mozenrath sighed and looked at Rajah. "I don't suppose you know where she is."
The tiger remained sunbathing, so the princess's ward continued his search. 'I can try the throne room. If she's not there, maybe her father will know where she is.' He walked to the throne room and eased one of the massive doors open. He looked around, but no one was there, not even the sultan! He closed the door.
'Jasmine said she wanted to talk to me, but she is nowhere to be found.' Mozenrath was so lost in thought he wasn't paying attention where his feet were taking him. "Where is everyone?"
Almost seemingly in answer to his question, something slid under his feet and was whisking him someplace. The young sorcerer looked down. "Carpet?"
Carpet flew the child out one of the windows and into the city. Mozenrath took this time to peer over the edge of Carpet at the city below. Before too long, Carpet stopped by what passes for a large window (judging by the curtain or what looked like a curtain). Mozenrath recognized it as the outside of Aladdin's hovel. He pulled the curtain aside and watched the scene inside play out. Aladdin seemed to be taking a nap, and Genie and Iago were playing a different type of game, while Abu watched. The parrot shook his wings before releasing a pair of die. Then, he grasped a piece on the board in front of him with a set of talons and proceeded to move it around the board. While he did this, Genie grinned. "You're about to land on Agrabah Place, where I've erected a super deluxe mega palace. Say hello to bankruptcy!"
The bird groaned as he left his piece on the square the genie has just mentioned and shoved the rest of his money at him. The jinn smiled and said, "I won? I won!" He started dancing some sort of crazy movement, causing Mozenrath to roll his eyes. When Genie stopped dancing, he was standing in front of the dark-haired sorcerer. "Hey, kiddo." Genie exclaimed, ruffling his hair.
Mozenrath scowled, brushed the genie's hand away, and blasted him with his Gauntlet. Genie hit the far wall of Aladdin's hovel; Iago, in a panicked attempt to hide, knocked over the game board; and Abu woke up Aladdin. The black-haired teen surveyed the mess and looked at Genie. "What happened?"
"Watch it, Al. The kid's temperamental today," Genie said, appearing next to Aladdin.
"I'm not temperamental!" Mozenrath exclaimed, his frustration showing as crackling magic.
Aladdin, slightly concerned at the sorcerer's behavior, said, "Why don't you talk to Jasmine? I'm sure she can sort out what's wrong."
"That's the problem! I can't find her anywhere! I looked in her room, the gardens, and the throne room, and then, this blasted rug brought me here!" Mozenrath gestured at Carpet, whom he was standing on.
Carpet gave him a little jostle, causing the sorcerer to lose his footing and fall onto the rug. Aladdin hid his smirk at Carpet's reaction to being called a blasted rug. "Why don't you check the stables?"
"Why would she be at the stables?"
"She loves to ride horses," Aladdin replied, simply.
Carpet landed outside the gate to the stables. Mozenrath walked in and looked around. Jasmine wasn't there, but maybe she was out riding. Mozenrath then noticed the stable boy. 'He looks like Aladdin. Better be on my guard.'
"Can I help you?" the stable boy, Hakeem, asked.
"Is Princess Jasmine here?"
"No, she's out riding Sahara." Hakeem looked at Mozenrath. "Who are you?"
"I am-" Mozenrath was cut off by the gate banging open, and Jasmine, astride a white horse, rode in.
Hakeem immediately came forward and grabbed the horse's reins, and Jasmine slid off the horse's back. "Thank you, Hakeem."
"You're welcome, Princess. There's someone here to see you."
"Oh?" Jasmine turned around. "Mozenrath...oh, I forgot our meeting. Sorry." Jasmine looked from Mozenrath to Hakeem and back again, realizing they had never me before. "Mozenrath, this is my cousin, Hakeem. Hakeem, this is my ward, Mozenrath."
After a few moments of awkward silence, Jasmine said, "Well, we better be getting back to the palace. Come on, Mozenrath. Let's have our talk."
Jasmine guided her ward out the gate with a hand on his back. The duo was instantly spotted by Carpet, and it hovered mere inches above the sand, allowing the princess and the sorcerer to simply step onto it. Carpet flew them to the palace or more specifically Jasmine's balcony. They got off Carpet and walked into her room.
"What did you want to talk about?" Mozenrath asked.
"I wanted to know if there were any questions you had."
"Before this morning, I didn't. How long have you been riding horses?"
"Since before I could walk," Jasmine answered. "My first time riding Sahara was...interesting. You should have seen the two days in question."
"There is a way. It's a type of mind reading involving images."
"I didn't know you could do that."
"We've already covered that. I learned all kinds of spells. This particular type is useful in extracting information from enemies for use in torture sessions among other situations. Now, clear your mind and concentrate solely on what you want me to see."
Jasmine and Mozenrath both closed their eyes, and the sorcerer brought up his right hand and touched his pointer finger to Jasmine's forehead. A scene appeared before the sorcerer's eyes. It showed his five-year-old self torturing someone. He removed his finger and opened his eyes. "Very funny, Jasmine, but I doubt that has anything to do with your first ride of Sahara."
Jasmine opened her eyes and giggled. "I'm sorry, Mozenrath, but when you said what the spell was useful for, that's what my mind came up with."
Mozenrath sighed. "Let's try it again. Clear your mind and concentrate on what you want me to see."
Once again, they closed their eyes, and Mozenrath placed his right index fingertip against the princess's forehead. Multiple scenes flashed before his eyes. (AN: The scenes Mozenrath sees are from Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams [the DVD with Princess Aurora and Princess Jasmine on the cover]).
He saw Rajah giving Jasmine a list of things to do and saw her opening a rug shop, waving in a parade, hosting a camel show, and posing for a portrait in a peacock dress. Next, Jasmine (in her regular clothes) was talking to the sultan about wanting something more meaningful to do, and the sultan told her about helping at the school as royal assistant educator. Jasmine entered a building Mozenrath guessed was the school and addressed the students, "Hello, I'm Princess Jasmine, but for today, I would like for you to treat me as you would any other teacher. Now, what were you doing before I came in?"
Mozenrath was shocked at the students' behavior, which consisted of drawing on the walls, hitting each other (and Jasmine) with pillows, running around, a boy chasing a girl (and then Jasmine) with a snake, and then causing Jasmine to fall into a puddle of mud before jumping on top of her. The next scene the young sorcerer saw was Jasmine opening the door to the school, and Rajah coming in and roaring, causing the students to gasp before one called out, "It's a kitty cat." The students then chased both Jasmine and Rajah up a nearby tree.
The scene changed to show Jasmine talking to Hakeem the next morning about Sahara, who had gone missing. Jasmine apparently agreed to search for the horse, because the next things Mozenrath saw was Jasmine on Carpet flying out of the city. It took hours of searching before finding the horse in an oasis. It took Jasmine about an hour to gain Sahara's trust enough to ride him back to the palace stables. The last scene Mozenrath saw was Jasmine back at the school, where the students were much more well behaved, because they had heard that Jasmine rode Sahara.
Mozenrath removed his finger and opened his eyes. "That's strange."
Jasmine opened her eyes. "Are you all right, Mozenrath?"
The sorcerer rubbed his eyes with his left hand. "I'm fine, Jasmine. Just tired."
"Why don't you go lie down and rest? I'll come get you when supper is ready."
"Okay, Jasmine." Mozenrath walked out of Jasmine's room and into his own.
"I hope he's okay. That spell seems to have worn him out. Maybe it was a side effect of the spell."
Little did anyone know, it was not just a simple side effect. It was something much more serious: Magical exhaustion.

I wrote about my favorite Franz Kafka story, The Judgment. Secondly, I was recently asked to take part in a dead love letter reading and decided to read some of Franz Kafka's love letters to his on-again off-again fiancé Felice Bauer.
Now, you probably know Kafka as a fairly lighthearted author who wrote whimsical stories about talking bugs and zany bureaucrats. However, these love letters reveal something of a darker, more tortured side that was hidden from the public eye.
Since I couldn't find these letters online and hand typed them for the reading, I thought I'd post my favorite two here for Valentine's day. Reproduced in full:
March 6 to 7, 1913
No, that is not enough for me. I asked if it wasn't above all compassion that you felt for me. And I justified my question. All you say is: No. But I really was a different person when I wrote that first letter, a carbon copy of which (it is the only letter I have a copy of) I found a few days ago during a perfunctory tidying up of my desk (which never gets tidied in any other way). I was different, this you cannot deny, and even if I had occasional lapses, I could easily find my way back. Have I been misleading you then, right up to these unhappy times? There are only two possibilities: either you feel nothing but compassion for me, in which case why do I insist upon your love, obstruct your every course, force you to write and think of me every day, tyrannize you with a helpless man's helpless love? Why, instead, don't I try to find a way of gently helping you to free yourself from me, of quietly by myself savoring the knowledge of your compassion for me, and thus at least becoming worthy of that compassion? The second possibility is that compassion is not exclusively what you feel for me; rather that you have been misled during the past six months; you lack true insight into my wretched personality, disregard my confessions, and unconsciously prevent yourself from believing in them, although this would be very much against your nature. In that case, why don't I do everything in my power to make the situation perfectly clear to you? Why don't I choose the plainest, shortest words that can be neither disregarded, misunderstood, nor forgotten? Could it be that I still have some hope, or am toying with the hope, of being able to keep you? If this be so, and it sometimes seems to be, then it would be my duty to step out of myself and quite ruthlessly defend you against myself.
However, there is yet a third possibility: that compassion may not be exclusively what you feel for me, and you may even have a perfect understanding of my present state, but may think that at some time I might yet turn into a useful human being with whom a steady, calm, lively relationship would be possible. If this is what you think, you are under a terrible misapprehension; as I have told you before, my present state (and today it is comparative paradise) is not an exceptional state. Don't succumb, Felice, to these misapprehensions! Not for 2 days could you live beside me. I received a letter today from an 18-year-old schoolboy whom I have met 2 or 3 times at Baum's. At the end of the letter he calls himself my "very obedient disciple." I feel sick at the thought of it. What a preposterous notion! I can never tear myself open wide enough to people to reveal everything and so frighten them away. To which of course I must add that even if I were a hero, I should want to frighten the schoolboy away, because I don't like him (probably on account of his youth), whereas I should want to drag you, eternally dearest, down to the dreadful decrepitude that I represent.
August 22, 1913
Nothing has been left undiscussed, Felice, have no fear; but perhaps the most important subject was not fully grasped by you. This is not a reproach, not a vestige of a reproach; you have done everything humanly possible, but what you haven't got you cannot grasp. No one can. For it is I alone who carry all anxieties and fears within me, as alive as snakes; I alone who scrutinize them constantly, and only I know what they are. You know about them only from me, only from my letters, and what you learn about them from these letters bears---in its horror, persistence, magnitude, and invincibility—even less relation to reality than does my writing, which heaven knows is little enough. All this I realize when reading yesterday's letter, so full of kindness and confidence; all recollections of me in Berlin must have been forgotten when you wrote. The life that awaits you is not that of the happy couples you see strolling along before you in Westerland, no lighthearted chatter arm in arm, but a monastic life at the side of a man who is peevish, miserable, silent, discontented, and sickly; a man who, and this will seem to you akin to madness, is chained to invisible literature by invisible chains and screams when approached because, so he claims, someone is touching those chains.
Your father is hesitant with his reply, which is understandable, but that he should be hesitant with his questions as well seems to me to prove that his doubts are only general ones, which by obtaining information—quite untruthfully—would be cleared up in no time; and that he overlooks the one passage in my letter that could give me away, because it lies entirely outside of his experience. This must not be allowed, I told myself all night, and proceeded to draft a letter that would make it clear to him. It isn't finished, nor will I send it; it was but an outburst, which didn't relieve even me.

Modric has been linked with a move to join Inter Milan this summer.
The 32-year-old had a good outing at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, leading his nation, Croatia to the competition final where they were defeated by France 4-2.
The midfield maestro also won the best player award (Golden Ball) of the World Cup.
However, Spanish news outlet, Marca is reporting that Inter will be disappointed because Modric has reached an agreement with the Los Blancos' executives to remain at the Bernabeu.
The report claimed that a new deal has been lined up for Modric, who has been in Madrid for six years since joining from Tottenham, to see him paid on level terms with Real Madrid captain, Sergio Ramos.
The report also claimed that Modric's new contract reflects his importance and the value placed on him by the club's hierarchy understood to want to tie his future down.
Modric has made 257 appearances, scoring 13 goals since joining Madrid in the summer of 2012.
He won 14 trophies since then including the last three consecutive Champions League titles.
