Dogen also said,
An ancient has said that if you are not an equal of the person, do not speak of his conduct. This means that if you have not learned and understood another's virtues, when you see the person's faults you should not criticize him. You should think that he is a good person though his action is bad; good people also do bad things. Accept only his virtues, not his faults. The saying that a wise man looks at another's virtues and not his faults means the same thing.

6:15pm - Oliver Downes
Oliver Downes - keyboard & vocals
Joshua Kreusler - guitar
Jack Towers - drums
Singer-songwriter Oliver Downes blends intricate, percussive piano playing with soaring melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. His debut album 'Ultraviolet' (2016) features the talents of art-folk trio The String Contingent to offer a lush fusion of dreamy ballads and instantly familiar chamber pop, charting a musical passage through the darkness into the light.
"[Downes'] compositions and arrangements create nebulous, ethereal soundscapes, deftly woven by the tensile orchestration… Give your mind permission to wander." (The Music).
"An impressive and eccentric work of baroque pop, ['Ultraviolet'] packs soaring melodies and sharp wit in equal measure, underpinned by intricate and eclectic chamber instrumentation." - Tone Deaf

Lionel Messi announced his retirement from international soccer following Argentina's 0-0 Copa America final loss in penalty kicks to Chile. The loss will be remembered for Messi's wide attempt in the shootout, which extended Argentina's 23-year streak without a major trophy. Watch the miss heard 'round the world:
Withdrawals and declined invitations have left Dream Team fans wondering who would compete for their country in Rio. The 12-man roster was announced on Sunday, highlighted by Olympic veterans Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony and last-second addition Kyrie Irving. Anthony became the first member of the U.S. men's team to be selected for four Games. Here's his best Olympic moment so far:

Death of a Lawyer
June 17, 1871 - Clement Vallandigham died on this day in a bizarre freak accident. More on that later.
During the Civil War Vallandigham represented Ohio's 3rd district in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was an outspoken anti-war, pro-Confederate democrat. As the leader of the so-called Copperheads he came up with their snappy slogan, "To maintain the Constitution as it is, and to restore the Union as it was." Vallandigham liked to call the president, "King Lincoln." In turn Lincoln called him a "wily agitator."
After the war Vallandigham returned to his law practice. His final client was a man accused of murdering someone in a barroom brawl. Vallandigham's defense sought to prove that the victim had actually shot himself while fumbling with his gun in a kneeling position. While demonstrating how this could happen the gun went off and killed Vallandigham. On the bright side, his client was acquitted.

And a blessing.
The eggs, we learned the next year, belonged to a black rat snake. Mama rat snake has blessd us with a cluster of 13-17 eggs every year since. Except for the year 2003, when we had fewer horses and were using bagged shavings, she has always placed them safely in the sawdust pile.
Knowing the bedding supply is mama's preferred nursery, we try to watch for the eggs beginning in mid-summer. When they appear, they are moved to a man-made nursery which, basically, is a 70-quart manure bucket filled with the same sawdust in which they were laid. Tucked safely away in the bucket, there is less danger of having the eggs scooped up and dumped in a stall.
This week we were blessed not only with Monarch butterflies, but with a whole new generation of mousers as well. We get a lot of calls and emails asking if TREES needs barn cats. Sorry kitties, but the jobs are filled. These snakes made our earlier mouse problem a thing of the past in no time. Thanks, Mum!

If you are working in a warehouse or fulfillment center in Pennsylvania, you will likely know the dangers that threaten your health and safety. While forklifts and falls from loading docks are serious and sometimes fatal hazards, there are more risks of which you should be aware. Some dangers are more obvious than others are, but it might be the hidden hazards that could cause the most harm.
Traumatic spinal cord injuries can be life changing
Spinal cord injuries can have devastating and life-changing consequences for victims in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Along with costly medical procedures, lost wages and other financial losses, you will likely also have to deal with many physical challenges that typically follow damage to the spinal cord nerves in the neck and back. The spinal column consists of vertebrae, ligaments and disks, all of which protect the spinal cord.
The hazards compromising your safety on construction sites
Pennsylvania construction workers face myriad risks every time they show up at work. Constriction sites are places that come with certain dangers, but that does not mean that the men and women who work on these sites do not have the right to a reasonably safe workplace. With training and enforcement of safety standards, it is possible to make these places safer for all workers.
If your boss caused intentional harm, you may sue in civil court
As a member of the Pennsylvania workforce, you may not sue your employer if you suffer a workplace injury. Your only recourse to get financial assistance with medical bills and lost wages is the workers' compensation insurance program. This system protects employers from personal injury claims filed by injured employees. Instead, employers provide workers' compensation insurance coverage that provides benefits to cover medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of whose fault caused the injuries.
Can you rely on your boss to keep you safe in a trench?
Any construction site can pose life-threatening hazards, and only if you are aware of the potential dangers, can you identify them and take precautions to avoid injury. Some of the most hazardous areas on any construction site are trenches and excavations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration provides strict guidelines and regulations that could prevent trench accidents.

Being rather tricky to remove outside of combat made Fiendslayer Paladin rather valuable in Standard. He was a great piece for White Weenie decks and his lifelink made him a great ally with the best mythic rare in Magic 2014, Archangel of Thune. He was an easy pick in Limited that also saw Standard play. However, he doesn't stack up to his competition once you get into the Eternal formats such as Modern. Then again, there have been Legacy Death and Taxes lists that have played him, so there is that.
However, like many playable Standard cards, Fiendslayer Paladin has found a few homes in the EDH format. Odric, Lunarch Marshal has been especially kind to him. With the Lunarch Marshal on the board, Fiendslayer Paladin allows all of your creatures to gain first strike and lifelink. Fiendslayer Paladin also is at home in Human Tribal Sigardia, Heron's Grace decks.
Fiendslayer Paladin may never be much more than a $1 rare card when it comes to price, at least in non-foil. However, Fiendslayer Paladin foils have been a consistent $4 for years. While this is a card that's unlikely to be a big investment long-term, he's a solid card to hold onto if you want to stick him in a Death and Taxes deck or in an EDH deck. Fiendslayer Paladin is a card worth holding onto.

Volume Fifty-Seven
No. 2
Summer 2016
Working onthe farm wasa family affair. Bob'sgrandmother andaunts(Elsa andHazel) milked cows by hand. Alvin transported the raw milkbyhorseandwagonto sellintown. The horse knew all the stops. They delivered to homes and to the factories where men would get pint bottles of raw milk for their lunch. They would return them the next day when a new delivery was made.
The family had a vegetable garden where they grew enough produce to can and enjoy during the winter months. They grew an acre of strawberries. When the berries were ripe, they hired kids from town to help pick them for a penny a box. Sometimes the kids would cheat by putting straw in the bottom of the box and cover it with berries to make it look full to fill more boxes.
Alvin worked on the farm all his life. He married Hilda Wenberg in 1937 and they continued the family traditions of hard work on the land. In 1950, he purchased some new equipment - an Allis Chalmer's rotobaler, a new mower and rake. The baler was one of the first of its kind. The bales were 36 inches long and weighed about 50 lbs. each.
During the summer time, instead of going to the Quarry, Bob and his sister, Carol, and their cousins, Wendell, Marge, Lorene, and Ken Anderson who also lived on the farm, would all help with chores. They worked together to bale the hay and do whatever else was necessary. Bob and Wendell also worked baling hay on Roger Bartelt's farm which is part of Fermilab today. In 1954, Alvin bought a New Holland square baler that saved a lot of time for everyone.
As a working dairy farm, there were between fifteen and twenty cows to milk each day - morning and night. They also had about fifteen young stock as well. Milk was sold to Batavia Dairy. In 1963, after Bob returned from six months of Army Reserve training, he and his dad built a new milk house which had a bulk tank to cool the milk. This was required by the Board of Health for Grade A milk.
In 1973, at age 75, Alvin decided to sell the cows and semi-retire. He leased part of the land to Merton Miller. He and Bob continued to still bale hay for a few more years. The cow pasture on South Forest Avenue was divided up. Bob and Lois built their home at the far end, and his cousin, Ken and Cheri Anderson, built next door. Eventually, the rest of the pasture and farm land was sold to a developer, Equity Builders. The family sold 7 % acres to Immanuel Lutheran Church on Hart Road.
In 1985, the story of East Hill Diary Farm came to an end when Alvin sold 41 % acres of the land to a builder who renamed the farm, The Knolls Subdivision. Alvin continued to live in the farm house for nearly five more years when he then moved in the Bob and Lois. He lived with them for about a year and a half, and then went to reside at the Michaelson Health Center where he died in July 1993, at the age of 95. The farm house remains at 704 Pine Street as a reminder of times past.
Batavia Fire Department Celebrates 150 Years of Service
By Chris Winter, Curator
The Museum is excited to present our fall exhibit honoring the Batavia Fire Department and their 150 years of service to the community. The exhibit will be on display Sep 7 - Nov 20.
On September 18, 1866, an ordinance was passed by the Township Board to set up a fire department consisting of 20 or more men who would serve under a captain and one assistant. With no equipment, these men fought fire by the bucket brigade method.
After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the department purchased a hand-operated pumper, a hose cart, and 500 feet of hose. In 1872, a building was constructed on the Island next to the stone jail for storage of the equipment.
During the 1880's, East and West Hose Companies were established on the grounds of the East and West Side Schools and the "central" building contained a third hose cart.
The City purchased a motorized fire engine and constructed the fire station at 24 S. Island Avenue in 1917. At that time the east and west side hose companies disbanded.
The current east side fire station at East Wilson and Branford Avenue was completed in November 1980. In 1986, another referendum was passed to construct a new west side fire station on Main Street across from the Batavia High School. Once completed, the new stations lead to the closing and eventual sale of the long-standing Island Avenue station. The old station was torn down as part of a major remodeling program of the old city hall facility.
Many thanks to Chief Randy Deicke and the Fire Department for sharing their collection of artifacts with us, and to Mayor Jeff Schielke for sharing his vast knowledge of Fire Department history while developing this exhibit. Mark your calendar for September
18 when the public is invited to attend an Open House at the West Side Fire Station, 1400 West Main Street, from 11 am to 2 pm. Come to celebrate and thank them for their exceptional dedication to the Batavia community.
By Doris Sherer, BHS Class of 1957
It was May, 1950 and I was a 5th grade student at Sumner Elementary School in Topeka, Kansas when my father announced I would not be returning to Sumner in the fall because we were moving to a place called Glenwood Park, south of a town in Illinois named Batavia. I cried!
The moving van came and packed our house while we packed our car for the trip north. Six of us climbed into a 1948 Studebaker, three in the front seat and three in the back--with the windows rolled down to let the wind in as the car moved--no air conditioning in those days! Twenty-four hours later we arrived at Glenwood Park.
As I stepped out of the car I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Through the eyes of a 10-year old child it was like heaven on earth--acres of woods, a river, and a long, meandering creek. There was not only our house and my grandparent's house, but many buildings filled with lumber left over from the WPA projects, and 24 apartments in buildings scattered throughout the property. I couldn't wait to begin exploring.
From morning until night we played outside. We were cowboys and Indiansshooting at each other with our cap guns (a gold colored Roy Rogers cap gun was my most prized possession). The trees were our hiding places. We built forts in the woods with the lumber left over from the WPA projects. We caught bullheads and sun fish with the bamboo fishing poles we bought at Swanson's Hardware. The creek wove its way from Highway 25 down to the river. In some places it was about a foot deep with lots of rocks where crawdads hid. At first we were afraid of them, but it didn't take long to learn that you picked them up with your finger just behind the head where the long pincers and curled tail couldn't reach. There were small ones (2-3 inches) and long ones (6-7 inches).
Summer ended and school began the Tuesday after Labor Day. At first we had to take the 3rd rail (CA&E) into town and walk to Louise White School. Finally, my parents secured a contract with the bus company, and all the students living in Glenwood Park were picked up each morning at the top of the winding road. The start of school meant it was fall. In Glenwood Park, fall brought thousands of migrating blackbirds. Before going south, these birds spent a week in our woods where their deafening noise never ever stopped. It was weird when we went into town and it was so quiet.
It began snowing the day after Thanksgiving, and we never saw the ground again until the middle of March. Sledding and ice-skating were tons of fun, but it was not fun traipsing up the hill to wait for the school bus in the cold and snow.
The days warmed up and before we knew it, the end of the school year was just around the corner. Batavia celebrated Memorial Day very differently than what was done in Topeka. Louise White School marked us absent if we didn't show up for the parade that went from the school to the cemetery. In 6th grade we walked to the west side after stopping on the bridge where two Navy mothers dropped wreaths into the river to honor the sailors who died in the war. After listening to the reading of "In Flanders Field" and "Logan's Orders", speeches by several veterans, the playing of taps, and a 24-gun salute, the ceremony was over and we were free to go home. The sun was warm but the water was cold when we waded along the river edge up to the dam. At the base of the dam we discovered that the wreaths from the bridge ceremony were caught in the weeds. Very carefully we retrieved them while deciding what we should do now. We knew it would not be right to keep them so we waded to the swift water in the middle of the river and sent them on their way south.
School was out shortly after Memorial Day. Once again we were playing, swimming in the river, and catching fish and crawdads. This summer my parents let me cross the two dams and walk to the quarry to go swimming. It was an idyllic life, but all too soon it was time for me to begin the trek up the hill again to catch the school bus into town for the start of 7 th grade.
The beautiful red and yellow leaves of fall turned brown and the noisy migrating blackbirds came back for their annual week in the woods. We didn't have much time to play after school because the sun was setting so early and the woods got very dark.
Halloween was so much fun. We put on the scariest costumes we could find and went into town to school for the big parade. Nearly all the students showed up and there was a lot of laughing and pushing as we scrambled for the candy and other treats people tossed our way as we made our way through downtown. When the parade was over we headed back to Glenwood Park and went trick or treating at all the apartments. We collected a lot of candy that night!
I was terribly disappointed when snow did not begin falling the day after Thanksgiving! But, the river froze and we could skate. At long last, it snowed enough for us to build snow forts and have snowball fights. By the end
of February the weather warmed up enough to turn the forts into ice and the snowball fights were not as much fun!
In the early spring when nature was getting ready for summer, my father announced that we were leaving Glenwood Park and moving into town. I cried!
The Batavia Historical Society has always had a shared partnership with the Batavia Library
and this important notice is another example of this alliance:
Batavia Civil War letters digitized and available for public use.
In its continuing effort to preserve local history, Batavia Public Library recently completed a Civil War Letters and Diaries Digitization Project. The project included the transcription and digitization of letters and diaries written by Batavia soldiers, chronicling their experiences from 1861 to 1865, as well as letters from family and friends to the soldiers, which provide perspectives from the home front.
The collection contains numerous letters between Captain Don Carlos Newton (52nd Illinois) and his wife, Mary M. Newton, providing an intimate look at their lives. There are also letters between the Newtons and others during the War. Newton's regiment was involved in the Battle of Shiloh, Sherman's March to the Sea, and many other engagements. The collection also contains the letters and diary of G. W. Young (124th Illinois), and three diaries by Fred Morris (124th Illinois). Young's diary reports his experiences during the historically significant Vicksburg Campaign. Morris's diary covers 1864-1865, during which time his regiment saw action in Mississippi and Alabama.
Excerpt from a letter from Capt. D. C. Newton to his wife, Mary M. Newton:
On Steamer Tecumseh 30 miles to St Louis
12 o clock Thursday 20th Feb 1862
Dear Mary
I have got along first rate guarding my prisoners They behave well and I have had no trouble But have kept all the time on the alert I have only slept about 4 hours in the past 3 nights I keep them very strict but don't misuse them Col Brown one of my prisoners is a brother of Gov Brown of Tennessee ... I have 54 Rebel Officers aboard and 700 privates quite a family. The officers feel very bad about having to go north they fear the cold so much ...
Digitization provides 24/7 access to the letters and diaries—which are in fragile condition—to Batavians, Civil War researchers, and people interested in the actions of Illinois regiments. Over 150 years after the Civil War's end, interest in the topic remains high among the general public. The letters and diaries are full-text searchable. The project is a collaboration of the Library, the Batavia Depot Museum, and the Batavia Historical Society; the latter organization owns the letters and diaries. It was supported in part by an award from the Illinois State Historical Records Advisory Board, through funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), National Archives and Records Administration.
The labor-intensive proofreading of 1,195 pages of material was completed by a number of volunteers from the Board of Library Trustees, Friends of the Batavia Public Library, the Batavia Public Library Foundation, and the Batavia Historical Society.
The letters and diaries also were microfilmed, for the purposes of preservation. To take a look at these personal and historical documents, visit BataviaHistory.org > Local History > Batavia's Civil War History.

News from the Museum
by Chris Winter
The Quilt Show was another success. We had over 150 quilts on display and the quilt appraisers were busy and very knowledgeable.
The Batavia Fire Department will be celebrating its 150th Anniversary in September and we plan to have an exhibit using the fire related items the museum has collected over the years.
Carla Hill has informed the Park District and the Historical Society of her planned retirement on January 27, 2017. Her 40 years with the District and the Museum has flown by so fast. She feels that with the museum's new expansion adventure, that new leadership should also be involved. She plans to continue to serve on the Long-Range Planning Committee and to be an active volunteer on the Capitol Campaign Committee. Her friendship and leadership will be missed by all the people who have worked with her.
From the President
Bob Peterson
We welcome the following new members:
Nancy McCloud, Michail DeBlock, David King, Jamie Schmidt
We want to thank the following for donations received since the last newsletter:
Robert Mednick, Frank & Sue Blazek, William & Arlene Weldon, Darlene & Dave Landsittel, Lois & Dick Benson, Andrew Hall's in-laws, Donald & Beth Flannery, Ernie & Lois Mareske, and the Jane Peterson Trust.
Exciting news about our expansion program. We have finally secured title for the land on the west side of the bike path. After a decade of legal maneuvering, we will be able to proceed with beginning the expansion plan. Our long-range planning committee and the Park District have been meeting with an architect and we should have a definite plan to present to all members at the Potluck Dinner on December 4, 2016, at the Bethany Lutheran Church.

The simple fact that our Current System for calculating TMDL or Total Maximum Daily Loads for a Water Quality Monitoring Standard is broken.

Without a Water Quality Monitoring Program in place and working they are just spinning their wheels and wasting their investors money.
EarthRehab has established a Coral Reef Initiative in which
Phase 1 is to establish a Water Quality Monitoring Program for South East Florida and The Atlantic Ocean Gulf-stream.
The funding for this program is made possible solely by the sale of Our Green License Plate, with proceeds to benefit Nature Research. Visit the Site

Dreamless nothingness...
No, not nothingness... A timeless stasis, unchanging awareness of infinity...
The eternity slowly fractures. Internal motions restart. Now splits into divisions of time. Years shatter into months, into weeks, into days, into hours. Heartbeat accelerates. Breaths start to repeat themselves more often than tides, filling lungs with stale air.
Awakening takes time. There is no hurry though. The wards are untouched, the lair is severed from elsewhere, its space twisted and coiled around itself. Inaction calls with primal temptation of conserving energy. It would be all too easy to succumb to slumber again.
Reason forces the body to act, though. Quick check-up confirms safety but advises finding suitable nutrition. Jars of supplies stored await breakage of their seals. The sigils that warded off entropy for ages fulfilled their role. The strips of meat are dried and tasteless, small and simple glyphs already did enough by preserving the proteins for so long. The honey withstands storage much better, its sugar offers dense caloric content but the bland sweetness fails to appease appetite either. Irrelevant. Aesthetic experiences need to play secondary role to survival.
Unbinding the sigils that protect the lair and separate them from the rest of the world takes time. It's a delicate process where failure can have grave consequences.
Finally, the tunnel unwinds and stops leading back into itself. The passage is open. the first step into the Wormways is taken. The air is stale but breathable, as expected. No scents reveal anyones passing here within last few hundred years. The Wormway lead to one of the junctions. The pale glow of light seeps from the ancient glyphs. The light is different, the terrestrial magnetic fields that power it must have changed. Nothing surprising. The signs mark various passages leading into different regions. A few of them scratched and replaced by newer ones. Nothing changed since the last passing. The quick path is the right choice to follow for now. Exit from the tunnel is hidden among rocky outcrops of local mountains. The hiding and shielding sigils require more careful work to create temporary opening.
The first quaff of fresh air. The smell is acrid and smoky... The tongue flickers to taste the sky. Carbon. Lots of carbon. Sulfur. Methane. Lesser amounts of other elements bound in various compounds. Meteor strike? Not likely, the dust is not right. Massive volcanic activity? Possibly, though some of the components of air don't fit either. The sky color is wrong too. It's night and yet it feels too bright. The pits are tickled weakly by electromagnetic activity beyond their spectrum range. A better vantage point is in order.
That... That is unexpected. With less rocky outcrops in the way, the line of sight is greatly extended and the sky's brightness source becomes obvious. A settlement is glowing with lights and heat. Electricity? The luminescence would fit. Is it possible that those hairless apes made such a big jump in a few millennia? The wind blows from that side. The smell fits. The denizens of the buildings burn carbon compounds for power. Inefficient. The People would have to be desperate to resort to such step on a massive scale. Or is releasing carbon oxides into the atmosphere the true purpose of that action?
There aren't many signs of suitable prey around. Do the denizens of the settlement hunted them off? For now a few small furry mammals have to do. They are quick, but not quick enough. The warm blood and fresh flesh taste of fear and disorientation. Mere snack when it comes to calories, but a feast for the senses. Has to suffice for now. Time to observe the hairless apes. What resources and means they have now? Are they obedient workforce as the Thrones wanted... Have they become dangerous to The People? Are there more of The People around?
The world has changed. The new ways need to be learned. Good, good... A challenge for the wits will help keep lethargy at bay for a time.

HED is not an acronym, but the last name of founder Steve Hed, who began his journey into the world of light carbon wheels in the mid 80's. Steve was a creative and innovative designer. Not content with merely elaborating on what came before, Steve charted new waters for some ground breaking designs in carbon wheels.
He coined the phrase "True Speed" to encapsulate his philosophy of what goes into the fastest carbon wheels on the planet. For Steve it was never just an issue of some aerodynamic goals realised in wind tunnel testing. His approach included all aspects of wheel performance. Issues like drive train efficiency, stability in crosswinds, lateral stiffness, comfort, quality control, weight, and carbon fibre manipulation all come into play in a HED designed wheel. In the early days HED brought solid carbon wheels to the masses at affordable prices and also introduced the concept of deep carbon front wheels that dealt with the problems of stiff crosswinds. These innovations are ubiquitous in our modern day, but many of these ideas sprung from the mind of Steve Hed.
So what's happening at the HED factory these days? Not content to rest on their laurels the HED team has been busy bringing us some clever innovations in rim technology. HED has waded into the world of FAT bike rims and has an amazing 500 gram carbon rim thats a 100mm wide. Aptly called "The Big Fat Deal", this rim pushes the boundaries of what can be done with ultra wide and ultra light Fat carbon wheels. For those of you that may have a leaner budget for your Fat Bike wheels, HED gives us the "The Big Aluminum Deal". The alloy counterpart that still gets you out on the trails riding HED rims but for a whole lot less!
For those who are seeking a rock solid training wheel many have chosen a perennial favourite, the Belgium or Belgium Plus. Essentially the same rim with slightly different widths, these rims answer the call for a bomb proof alloy rim that weighs around 465 grams. Choose between 23 or 25mm widths and spoke hole counts of 20 through 32.
Available in either a disc only version and one for classic rim brakes. The Belgium is a well made rim with ideal dimensions for improving the tire profile. They smooth out your long training miles and are perfect on gnarly gravel strewn roads. Build up a set of killer cyclo cross wheels that require wider tires. There is also a disc rim for the tubular devotees. The Belgium's are what many wheel builders might call a "do all" rim.
I haven't covered every last option so by all means take a peak at HED's website for all that they offer. Cognoscenti Cycles is very proud to be carrying HED's amazing products. We hope to be busy building up lots of wheels in 2017 equipped with HED rims. Give us a ring and we'll sort out a set of world class wheels for your next ride.

Emflux e-sport bike to present at auto expo 2018
A number of EV start-ups have arisen. Emflux is another such firm built in Bengaluru and shaped by 3 persons –Ankit Khatry, Vinay Raj Somashekhar and Varun Mittal. While other EV start-ups are targeting the more accessible side of the market, Emflux is targeting a more premium customer. Its first concept showed off in early 2017 suggests an electric sports bike with some big claims, in terms of performance.
Emflux claims its sports bike (currently called the Concept One) will sprint from 0-100kph in just 3sec flat and hit a top speed of 200kph. The latter is impressive, in its own right but acceleration figures like that are currently only offered by powerful superbikes. Emflux claims to achieve this performance with the use of a liquid-cooled AC Induction motor that quotes peak power and torque figures of 68hp and 84Nm, correspondingly. That's roughly the same power as a Ninja 650 while the torque is higher than the likes of a Triumph Tiger 800.
Not much is known about the chassis, at this point but the production bike could get a trellis frame. High-tech components like a single-sided swing arm, Brembo brakes and dual channel ABS by Continental will be standard; but Emflux will also be offering Ohlins suspension as an option. This could hint at two bikes being launched at the Expo – a base model and a higher spec version.
Emflux suggests that this bike will be estimated between Rs.5 and 6 lakh and it procedures to sell a limited run of 199 units. We asked about sales and support plans and the company said that it intends to have dedicated experience centers in Bengaluru, Mumbai and New Delhi, and will also have customer ride experiences on an invite basis. Purchases can be made through the company's website through digital payment methods. Service will be handled at the customer's location and break-downs will be taken care of at the cost of the company, regardless of the location.
The Concept One will offer a rich array of data to the rider via a 7" TFT display and will also feature GPS navigation, real-time vehicle diagnostics and auto updates. There's also a mobile app in addition to bike-to-bike connectivity. There has been no mention of its traction control or any stability control systems, at this point.
A five-year, unlimited-kilometer warranty will also be offered and this will include the battery. Speaking of the battery, Emflux is guaranteeing at least 80 per cent of the original battery capacity, after 5 years. Emflux has come out guns blazing with some incredible claims – but having a product to show is only the start. The real test will come in seeing how the company will be able to carry out these claims and have a saleable formula by 2019. Many have failed at similar endeavors and yet, success stories like Tesla and Rimac prove that execution is possible too. We wish the company well and look forward to seeing more at the 2018 Auto Expo.

So…what the heck is up with Netflix's documentary, "What the Health?". We answer that in this week's episode.
If you're unfamiliar with "What the Health?", it's a documentary released by Netflix in 2017. To be honest, we think a better term for this film is "propaganda film" – and we talk a lot about that in detail in this week's podcast episode.
In the episode, we mention the following resources:

Crucial to the course will be a discussion of public key encryption, and the associated problems of primality testing and factoring. Students will explore various methods (based upon background) from the elementary to the exotic, and will present lectures as a part of the course.
The computer has completely changed the face of cryptography and cryptanalysis, so no course would be complete without computer implementation of some algorithms as a part of the course. Implementations can be in your language of choice (True Basic, C, Maple, etc.). For newbies, I will happily run an xhour or two to give you the basics --- you will not need more; these are simple programs.
As this is a senior seminar---in the College's words, a ``culminating experience'', I think it is also very important that you learn to communicate mathematics effectively. This means that I will expect you to give one or two short lectures on course material, and to keep a diary (handed in once a week), in which you give a short synopsis (as non technical as possible) on what we have discussed during the preceding week.
Finally, you will each be responsible for a large project in which you
study some aspect of cryptology in depth, and make a written and oral presentation.

text: AMAS Ariana Grande and Zayn Win Top Honors, Selena Gomez's Speech Steals the Show at the 2016 AMAs 11/20/2016 by Dan Rys FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME YOUTUBE Despite a bit of a rocky start, the 2016 American Music Awards eventually landed plenty of memorable moments, both musical and political, with Ariana Grande coming home as the night's big winner as the AMAs Artist of the Year and Zayn, in a post-One Direction era, won New Artist of the Year.Bruno Mars was electric in his show-opening performance of the funk-infused single "24K Magic," easily one of the best moments of the entire night. But an opening monologue from co-hosts Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah came off a bit awkward early, with some less-than-smooth deliveries and missteps, even as Pharoah brought back his Saturday Night Live-famed Jay Z impersonation and Hadid tried her hand at one based on Melania Trump. Trump, and the recent U.S. election, came up a few times throughout the show, most notably from Chrissy Teigen ("[John Legend's] songs are bigger than either of us, on the heels of what's been a really interesting interesting f--ked up election for all of us," introducing her husband's performance), Green Day (which changed the lyrics of "Bang Bang" to "No Trump / No KKK / No fascist U.S.A.") and Idina Menzel, who addressed the recent incident involving Vice President-elect Mike Pence at a performance of Hamilton by saying, "Us unsafe, scary theater people won't be invited to the inauguration. I love you Hamilton!" before announcing Florida Georgia Line as Favorite Country Duo/Group. Canadians Justin Bieber and Drake were also big winners, with three and four awards, respectively, on the night, while Drake scored a big moment with the debut of a new Apple Music commercial that featured him working out to Taylor Swift and, as with the inverse ad that debuted April 1, falling while lifting weights.Performance highlights included Mars' dynamic opener as well as The Weeknd, whose "Starboy" rendition inside a gigantic blue-silver crystal that morphed into a variety of colors was an easy standout. Legend's "Love Me Now" and the Chainsmokers and Halsey's "Closer," a much improved version on their maligned VMAs performance, also stood out. There were also several stings and slights, both overt and covert, throughout the evening. Zayn, accepting his New Artist of the Year honor, remarked, "This one just has my name on it, right?" seemingly taking a dig at the insanity surrounding his Directioner past. And Drake, despite being conciliatory and graceful otherwise, took a moment to shout out his fellow nominees in the Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist category Future and Fetty Wap before turning, briefly, serious. "For our genre, I just like to keep things exciting and keep making music," he said, before stepping into rap beef territory. "More Life is coming soon, and watch how you speak on my name."Sting, who accepted his American Music Award of Merit with a career-spanning medley of "I Can't Stop Thinking About You," "Message In a Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take," was plenty appreciative after his performance. "While I may be an Englishman," he said, shouting out the country that birthed rock and roll, "My musical soul is all American." And while there were several more standout performances -- Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande's sultry "Side to Side," Bieber's emotional "Let Me Love You" live from overseas, Fifth Harmony's fist-bumping "That's My Girl" and Lady Gaga's stripped down "Million Reasons" were all worthy of distinction -- arguably the most poignant moment came from Selena Gomez, accepting her award for Favorite Female Artist."I think it's safe to say that most of you know a lot of my life, whether I liked it or not, and I had to stop," she said, fighting back tears. "Because I had everything, and I was absolutely broken inside. And I kept it all together enough that I would never let you down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down. I don't want to see your bodies on Instagram, I want to see what's in here. I'm not trying to get validation, nor do I need it anymore."But if you are broken, you do not have to stay broken," she continued. "And if that's anything, whether you respect me or not, that's one thing you should know about me, is I care about people. And thank you so much for this, this is for you." In an up-and-down AMAs, Gomez's speech became a light of hope and resilience -- one that can resonate beyond the glitz and glam of awards shows. In the end, it was the most worthwhile takeaway.

Pension Reform in the Armed Forces
Major General John Moore-Bick CBE DL, General Secretary for Forces Pension Society and Lieutenant Commander David Marsh RN
Over two hundred outings among the serving Armed Forces community give us at the Forces Pension Society a very sound base to experience the uncertainty, the sapping of morale, and the anger at the general public's incorrect perception of Armed Forces pensions.
I doubt if anybody joins the Services for the pension, but as careers progress, or in a few cases are prematurely, often tragically, terminated, so the pension promise becomes more and more important in personal and family life. Rumours abound, especially among those longer serving men and women in the sergeants' and petty officers' messes and among those commissioned from the ranks. We have no doubt that the leaders of the Services are acutely aware of what is going on and we work closely with them, as we try to do with the MOD generally. Quite simply, the oft-repeated charge of 'gold plating' cannot conceivably apply to service men and women, the majority of whom have endured trying and disruptive family and domestic circumstances. Our call is that we get back off the polemics and look at the very modest pensions which are in payment now and which, in some cases, will be even less in the future. Payments like the average of an Armed Forces widow, who could well lose it on remarriage, of £2875 a year, £55 a week. Gold plated?
Enough, you get my drift, no doubt. Amongst the many other changes which the Armed Forces face, and they do face very many, including being at war, we cannot afford to have pension worries among them.
We appreciated the Prime Minister's response to us last November, seeking a constructive partnership, and we welcomed Lord Hutton's report. Both give us the solid foundation to work in that constructive partnership with defence ministers, foremost in this area, our Minister for Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans, the Rt Hon Andrew Robathan. We see, at last, an opportunity to restore the confidence of the Armed Forces in their pension schemes and in the fair and competent governance of those arrangements.
Transparency means the proper and free flow of information from Day 1 of service: and a clear statement for all Service men and women of their pension accrued, on pay statements. We manage to show every other addition and deduction on a monthly basis, why not that? We see no inherent threat in career averaging, but we are nervous about the accrual rates being talked of – is 1/100th just an opening bargaining ploy? If it is then let's move on quickly to something practical and reassuring. At the moment we are losing time as we wait for a common approach to mature by the Treasury across all schemes.
We simply can't afford to wait now and then try to shoehorn the creation of a new pension scheme into the closing years of this Parliament. We not only face the design of a new scheme; at the same time a whole new way of life and service is under consideration, to give more choice in personal and family life. Career breaks, house ownership, mobility and stability are all on the agenda, creating a new model for defence by 2020. The next pension scheme will endure until 2080 or later, so it must be thoroughly prepared .
The repeated calls for reduction of staff in the Ministry of Defence have left the personnel area too thinly staffed and the man and woman power available for the task of designing a new scheme is half as strong as it was last time and is being expected to do it in half the time. So we will help with our expertise to the fullest degree, but we will not stand by should the tempo of the electoral timetable start to influence future pension plans unfavourably.
The Armed Forces deserve the best arrangements in the public sector. They rightly enjoy that at the moment, and deserve equal treatment in the future. We in the Forces Pension Society exist to ensure that their case is properly represented, for the very long term of pension timescales, despite the immediate and hopefully, short term financial challenge.
This is also a crucial part of the Armed Forces Covenant, which enjoys cross-party support. We trust that the present government will live up to its promise on behalf of our people to give appropriate recognition to our Armed Forces as the next pension scheme evolves.

With organizations relying more and more on the internet for their business processes and communications, phishing scam artists have found a way to interfere and present challenges such as 'ransomware', malware, stealing information and even stealing money from the organization or the employees.
Usually, phishing scam artists use very convincing mails with links that once clicked, could put the whole company in jeopardy. The formula for avoiding these scams is simple; do not click links from unknown sources. Or maybe not. The phishing scammers become more creative every day and thus anyone could fall victim to their vices. Here are four tips that should help to protect your firm from all kinds of phishing scams.
Get commercial grade security software
This is the first step towards having a safe internet access in your organization. With the right commercial grade software, you will get an antivirus, malware and spyware detection as well as a firewall to guard you against suspicious content on your computers and servers. This means that your emails will be potentially safe at all times. You however have to ensure that you get the updated version since phishing scam artists tend to update their programs as well. The security software may be really expensive, but it is worth the expense since it will keep you safe from some major intrusion and inconveniences.
Preparation and training will save you a lot of trouble
Most organizations make the mistake of leaving the details of IT to their IT department while the rest of the staff members remain ignorant regarding the threats that they face every day. You cannot afford to entertain this kind of a workforce if you want to be safe from phishing scams. Each member of the organization with access to the company's computers and servers needs to know how to be safe from phishing scams.
Everyone in your organization needs to learn the basics of avoiding these scams by not clicking on links from unknown sources and generally not responding to random mails with sensitive personal or company information. Preparation here will save you so much since your staff will already know what to do when they receive suspicious emails.
Incident response is mandatory
In order to deal with the phishing attacks effectively, you will have to craft a way for your staff to report any incidents immediately. This may imply having a full time helpdesk at the IT department since these phishing attacks can occur at any time of any day. Immediate reporting will allow the company to investigate and stop the attack sooner, and the more time the scammers have, the easier it will be for them to get away with the act. The employees in this case will have to learn the procedure for documented reporting of any phishing incidents that they encounter.
And finally, mitigation is really a good idea
Some phishing methods are likely to destroy your database, meaning that you need a backup and recovery plan that is independent of your servers and computers. For this, external servers and other backup and recovery solutions will come in handy, especially if the system is automated and the process conducted frequently. It will ensure that you do not lose any important information when attacked, especially by ransomware and malware.
When seeking IT services in Bay Area, remember to consult about how to protect yourself from these phishing scam artists. Your service provider should be able to really help you out with the technical details of setting up the software and the data backup and recovery plan and even training your staff members to combat other types of cyber threats.

An Oakland Workshop: Wear Your Voice and The Abundance Loop
Sometimes we just need a bit of framework and someone to share first.
An Oakland Workshop created by
Ravneet Vohra and Juliana Park
to spread the word and vision of both
Wear Your Voice Magazine
and Juliana's upcoming book
"The Abundance Loop,"
a Hay House Writers Workshop non-fiction contest Winner, took place last Thursday.
The workshop took place at
Runway (Now Urban Stitch)
the Downtown Oakland Boutique owned by Alanna Rayford. Among the designs of local Oakland Designers, food catered by Diema Chef Dee Ellingberg, Wine provided by Urban Legend & Cerruti Cellars and chocolates generously donated by Ghirardelli, there was a crowd of people chomping, drinking and talking.
Julianna explained the pattern of thinking that she has termed the "Scarcity Loop" and the type of impact that this line of thinking had on her life. She went into the "Abundance Loop" and how this change from Scarcity to Abundance came about.
Ravneet discussed her journey and decisions that led her to find the path she wanted to be on, though it was not the one people expected of her or even supported her taking. On this journey she not only experienced outside opposition, but internal, in much the same way as Julianna describes in her "Scarcity Loop." In following what was truly her own, in her own way, Ravneet had to discover her own voice along the way. It was the ways in which she was silenced by others and by herself, that stuck with her and led to the starting of Wear Your Voice Magazine as a platform for other women to share their stories, to speak their truths and to have dialogues that are not being had as publically, as often or in as varied words as they are truly experienced.
We live in a reality in which hating on ourselves for our mistakes is more common than confidence and hiding the evidence of our struggles is not only encouraged, but almost essential to be a part of "normal society." Not everyone can afford therapy and even those that can, may not find a whole lot of people in the profession that look like them, that can relate to what they have been through, or that can present the space to speak freely in a way that empowers rather than shames.
The terms "Abundance" and "Scarcity" don't hold the same stigma as psychological terms sometimes do. "Loop" doesn't sound clinical or pathologized the way "negative self talk" or "shame spiral" can. These words provided a common point of reference devoid of heavy connotations and the setting was public, taking the topic out of the hidden, white-noise filled hallways that therapy is often relegated to.
People like Ravneet and Julianna are creating spaces that challenge norms. As Ravneet said, when she shared her stories, other people had stories and in the sharing there was a healing.
The number of people who were willing to share such vulnerable pieces of themselves with strangers is testament to the value of this duo's bravery and leadership. They shared their stories about leaving marriages, careers, countries, and imprinted patterns of thinking behind and about the places they were stuck now. The space was one in which participants could throw aside the normalized process of only sharing things when they are better, a retrospective on how shitty things were. Urban Stitch was filled with voices resisting the idea that we need to be a society that does not show our struggle.
A statement made by Alanna Rayford, Owner of Urban Stitch, really stuck me. "What if anxiety could be motivation?" she asked.
Anxiety is a huge part of my moment-to-moment life and it is where I need to start because that bitch is trying to take over. The New Yorker in me is still not able to use the language I hear out here sometimes, so when I could see my anxiety as a bitch- not the powerful doing her thing kind that society mislabels as such, but a hater that is sabotaging me- I was able to tell her, "Shut the fuck up bitch. Your shit doesn't scare me. I own you. And you know what I'm going to do with that anxiety you are throwing at me? Use it. Cuz I'm crafty."
My language sounded a bit different. But I was able to get quiet with myself for a moment and have a few seconds of clarity, enough to decide to do something that scares me.
Outside Urban Stitch, I text: can we talk about why I was upset? Previously, I would have already gotten mad. Blamed them for not knowing. Accused them of only wanting me for sex. Now, I tentatively own that these are my preconceptions, that these are worries I bring into the situation.
I talk about the Abundance Loop. About anxiety. I ask what makes them anxious. I want to feel like a human, know they experience these things too. (I note that I previously would have baited them. Said something to hide my shame in.)
I say: Sometimes when I am physical with someone I start feeling unsafe. I feel unable to say anything in the moment. The process from feeling uncomfortable to panicked and crying happens so quickly and I get stuck. I don't say triggered. I don't give reasons why. I am worried that I'm being judged: wounded, tainted, fucked, whore. But I keep talking because the talking is making me calmer, more connected, heard.
I say: If you don't know, you can ask me. I am better at answering than I am making the space to start talking about what I feel on my own, in the moment.
We are hugging. For a moment, I panic. I think all of this could go away. Then I say to myself: So? If they want to put in false efforts or put forth efforts they can't maintain, that is on them.
I say: I am trying to get to know you, rather than seeing if you can bend into to who you think I want.
I am sitting on the floor of an apartment in Oakland. I have tears on my cheeks and I am making a joke. I feel calm and abundant. I feel dressed in my own voice.
Every single dollar matters to us—especially now when media is under constant threat. Your support is essential and your generosity is why Wear Your Voice keeps going! You are a part of the resistance that is needed—uplifting Black and brown feminists through your pledges is the direct community support that allows us to make more space for marginalized voices. For as little as $1 every month you can be a part of this journey with us. This platform is our way of making necessary and positive change, and together we can keep growing.

I was in Delhi for a week-long seminar session, and I was quite bored after the first two days. Shuttling between conference rooms, I kept thinking of things that would make me happy. A local colleague from Delhi suggested that I call a number that he had slipped in my shirt pocket. After a bit of hesitation, I decided to call the number on Friday night. That's where my encounter with Aerocity escorts turned into a pleasant experience that I will never forget.
The first Call Girls in Aerocity
As I called on the number, a young girl on the other side picked the call and asked me when I want her. I insisted on seeing a few pictures, and in just a few seconds, a long list of photos popped on my Call Girls WhatsApp number in Aerocity. I was apprehensive, but there was this girl called Pooja who instantly attracted me. Then, I decided to call her. The girl talked about some prices, but insisted for the whole weekend. Once we agreed on the price, I invited her to my hotel in Aerocity, centrally located. To my surprise, she was waiting in the lobby at 8, way long before I expected her.
There are other agencies who provide escorts in Aerocity, but they are just average. But, we are special since we deal with perfect call girls and courtesans. Our selected Aerocity Escorts are going to make you damn happy and satisfied. So, stop worrying about money and hire escorts in Aerocity right now.
Get a drink With Escorts in Aerocity
As we entered my room, she asked me about the kind of things that excite me. She was shy and timid, but I could tell her excitement. She insisted on changing my clothes, and as her soft hands made way on my chest, I would feel a sense of arousal, just like I had wanted for a while. After that, she told me very softly in my ears, "Get a drink". I had red wine in my room, and I poured two glasses for both of us. As she sat on my lap with the glass in her hand, I could barely look away, coz her face was too close, and her short dress was going shorter on her thighs. With a little hesitation, I tried feeling the warm of her skin. The next hour, we kept rolling on the bed, with not an inch of cloth on.
One of the best things about escorts in Aerocity is their attitude. They aren't like other beautiful girls who have unnecessary attitude. Our girls are down to earth, and they understand their clients a lot. If you think that your life is getting monotonous, then hire our girls right now. We bet that you are going to enjoy courtesans in Aerocity without any worries.
The long weekend With Aerocity Model Escorts
I was wondering if we could pump through the weekend like this, but as a quick change of plans, she took me to a nearby club, where we had a gala time on Saturday night. As I returned to the hotel, I was tired and exhausted. She insisted on a massage, and we are again up to a game, where feeling each other's breaths and smell felt like a new sensation. Until the next evening, we didn't leave the room, altering between the shower and the bed. As I hugged her in the morning, I could feel the strong urge to have her more.
My experience with Aerocity Model Escorts was very special, if I can say the least. Of course, I don't visit Delhi that often, but if I am here, I know Pooja, who is a perfect date in many ways and is great for those long weekends. If you want to hire Aerocity Escorts, or call girls in Aerocity, then come to us only. We are dealing with perfect escorts in Aerocity, who can do wonders with you.

Dell announces redesigned Vostro laptopBy : CIOL Bureau |April 14, 2008 0
ROUND ROCK, TEXAS: Dell has announced its redesigned Vostro laptop line for small businesses, including the new 13.3-inch Vostro 1310 starting at $ 749 and 15.4-inch Vostro 1510 starting at $ 599. Products are available in Europe, Middle East and Africa, followed by North and South America May 1, and Asia Pacific and Japan May 5. The company will also offer a redesigned 17-inch Vostro 1710 laptop in mid May. For more information, visit dell.com/newvostro and Dell's new small-business blog direct2dell.com/smallbusiness to join the conversation.
"Listening to customers and acting quickly on their feedback to improve our products and services sets Dell apart," said Frank Muehleman, vice president and general manager, DELL Small and Medium Business. "For example, customers told us in a recent global laptop study that data protection and pre-installed security software are, by far, the most important security features.
"They also said they wanted thinner and lighter machines, all at a good price," Muehleman said. "We paid attention."
The new Vostro laptops deliver the following customer-driven features:
A sleek design, with slot load optical drive, that is thinner and lighter than previous generation Vostro laptops;
The display screen of the new Vostro 13.3-inch has 94 percent the viewing area of a 14.1-inch model, yet weighs nearly 20 percent less;
Continuation of Dell's 30-day worry-free return policy;
Available with no trialware and free services including 10GB of Dell Datasafe Online Backup, Network Assistant and Pc TuneUp; and
Vostro 1310 and 1510 laptops offer more security features than comparable competitive products¹ with integrated fingerprint readers, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 helping prevent unauthorized network access and data theft, cable lock slot, and Dell-exclusive, factory-installed McAfee Total Protection for Small Business security software².
Small businesses are increasingly adopting laptops over desktop PCs. Today, half of PC-owning small businesses in the United States own laptops, and the number is expected to grow to almost 57 percent by 2012, with similar laptop penetration in Western Europe and Japan.
To address this shift and provide more choice to customers, Dell plans to expand its laptop portfolio by 50 percent this year, to deliver the broadest product lineup in the company's history.
"After experiencing the productivity gains of the Dell Vostro 1510 compared to our older systems, I knew it was time to act on our dream to upgrade our IT network," said Cynthia Ebrom, founder and owner of Edinburg, Texas-based Cynthia's Cakes. "As our custom cake business expands nationally, technology becomes even more important to our growth and ability to better serve our customers. Vostro gives us the reliability, performance, service and support we need without exceeding our tight budget."
In addition to investments in its laptop portfolio, Dell is expanding its services, server and storage offerings to meet the unique needs small and medium businesses.
Dell's new services portfolio, ProSupport, gives customers the ability to customize and tailor services to fit their technical expertise and business needs.
Dell's new PowerEdge R300 and T300 servers have industry-leading performance, memory and high-availability features so small and medium businesses no longer have to sacrifice server performance or reliability for an affordable price.
Through affordable iSCSI storage arae network (SAN) solutions like the PowerVault MD3000i and Dell EqualLogic PS5000 Series, Dell is simplifying storage for businesses of all sizes.

Websites need search engine optimization, now more than ever
john mier
I want to tell you why SEO (search engine optimization) is still important to your business, and how ongoing SEO efforts will benefit you and your business website for many years to come.
Search engines like Google and Bing are an ever evolving database of website listings that people use everyday to find business products and services. No one uses yellow pages or phone books anymore and getting listed correctly takes time, resources and skill. There are a lot of places from which your website could be getting traffic. If you are not listed in every possible category that relates to your business, you are missing out on valuable revenue. Your competition will be in those listings and they did not get there by accident or happenstance.
Your website needs to be searchable when people type in "keywords" - potential customers use search for:
- Finding information
- Solving a problem
- Researching or buying a product
Many of these reasons are perfect opportunities for you to get traffic and customers. These searchers are highly motived people you can bring to your website to learn from you, and potentially buy something. This is especially true if you target the right keywords.
Getting it right with Keywords
It all begins with keywords. These are the words we all type in when we begin our search. A successful SEO campaign involves keyword research. Washington Graphic Services (WGS) analyzes your business, and your potential customers, and we come up with the right keywords for your website. Among other tools and software for analyzing your site, WGS can use Google Analytics, Google Search Console, upload a Sitemap for your site, and make sure your HTML is valid and contains the correct markup to make sure search engines are getting complete and correct information from your site. WGS incorporates these techniques, research, software and programming efforts to maximize your exposure, and to effectively function with search engine algorithms.
Content matters
WGS will create quality content on your site because "content is king." Content matters because the keywords must match the content. The content must be quality content not just any content. From an SEO perspective quality is important because Google and other search engines are measuring it.

ROSTER MOVES: Yasiel Puig was healthy enough to hit in a batting cage but not healthy enough to play Sunday, prompting the Dodgers to place him on the disabled list for the first time in his career. Right-hander Joel Peralta was also placed on the DL with what the Dodgers called a neck strain. Peralta is believed to have a pinched nerve that could be limiting his shoulder strength. Scott Baker, the Dodgers' starting pitcher for the day, was promoted from triple-A Oklahoma City, along with right-hander Carlos Frias. To clear a place for Baker on the 40-man roster, Brandon League was moved from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL.
ON THE MOUND: Baker was a pleasant surprise in his Dodgers debut, pitching seven innings and limiting the Padres to three runs and four hits. "Overall, physically I felt pretty good," Baker said. Baker gave up two solo home runs, one to Alexi Amarista in the third inning and another to Derek Norris in the seventh. Norris also doubled in Matt Kemp in the fourth inning.
AT THE PLATE: Alex Guerrero hit his fifth home run of the season, a solo blast off Padres starter Brandon Morrow in the fifth inning. Guerrero had two of the Dodgers' five hits. Morrow pitched seven innings. No Dodgers reached base over the last two innings, as Joaquin Benoit pitched a perfect eighth and Craig Kimbrel a perfect ninth.
UP NEXT: Brett Anderson (1-1, 5.40 earned-run average) will face the San Francisco Giants and Tim Lincecum (1-1, 2.00) at Dodger Stadium at 7 p.m Monday. On the air: TV: SportsNet LA. Radio: 570, 1020.

Cyclone Mekunu has made landfall across the Arabian Peninsula, leaving at least five people dead and more than 30 missing, officials in Oman and Yemen said.
Areas of Salalah, Oman's third-largest city, lost electricity as the cyclone made drenched the area.
Three people, including a 12-year-old girl, died in Oman, and another two bodies were recovered from the Yemeni island of Socotra, which bore the brunt of the storm, according to local officials in both countries.
More than 30 people were still missing in Socotra, including Yemeni, Indian and Sudanese nationals.
Yemeni officials also reported damage in the country's far east, along the border with Oman.
Rageh Bakrit, the governor of al-Mahra province, said on his official Twitter account late yesterday that strong winds had blown down houses and taken out communication lines and water services.
India's Meteorological Department said the storm packed maximum sustained winds of 170-180 kilometres (105-111 miles) per hour with gusts of up to 200 kph (124 mph). It called the cyclone "extremely severe".
Across Salalah, branches and leaves littered the streets. Several underpasses became standing lakes. Some cars were left abandoned on the road. Electrical workers began trying to repair lines in the city while police and soldiers in 4x4s patrolled the streets.
Many holidaymakers fled the storm on Thursday night before the airport closed. The Port of Salalah - a key gateway for the country - also closed, its cranes secured against the pounding rain.
Omani forecasters warned Salalah and the surrounding area would get at least 200 millimetres (7.87 inches) of rain, over twice the city's annual downfall.
Authorities remained worried about flash flooding in the area's valleys and potential mudslides down nearby mountains.
As torrential rains poured down yesterday, authorities opened schools to shelter those whose homes are at risk. About 600 people, mostly labourers, huddled at the West Salalah School, some sleeping on mattresses on the floors of classrooms.
On Socotra, authorities relocated over 230 families to sturdier buildings and other areas, including those more inland and in the island's mountains, Yemeni security officials said.
Flash floods engulfed Socotra streets, cutting electricity and communication lines. Some humanitarian aid from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates arrived on the island just hours after the cyclone receded.
Socotra Gov Ramzy Mahrous said one ship sank and two others ran aground in the storm, initially saying authorities believed 17 people were missing and presumed dead.
Yemen's self-exiled President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi issued a statement ordering troops under his command on the island to help citizens, deliver supplies and reopen roads.

Wedding day (song with Heidi Klum)
Human Sadness
beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field, i will be meeting you there
put money in my hand
and i will do the things you want me to
Vanity… overriding wisdom,
usually common sense.
should i delete it,
you said you'd read it
you promised you would never ruin it with sequels,
I wake for you… on and on
beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field,
i will be meeting you there.
the moon's a skull, i think it's grinning
the room is full of people now i think it's spinning
wanted you… didn't ask for nothing. wait for you… on and on
and i don't need your tie, i don't need to, tired of saying it.
we don't need more talk, don't empty out your canteen on the desert floor.
…ahhh, it's all my fault
never wanna spell it out,
i just want to say that it is all my fault,
i could never spit it out,
i don't wanna fix your tie...
never want to say we're sad,
thankful that we got some chance,
i know you won't get back your time,
i wish that you could take it back...
beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field,
i will be meeting you there.
he wanted it more than me, i suppose
i was in a rush to wait in a line.
now i hear echoes of my old self,
this is not the way to be.
all at once,
i lost my way...
is it not true, the things that we did?
come here at once and look what they did
come here shut down and tune in tonite,
learn the words that they teach you without you realizing it
come here sit down and watch some tv
mine all mine / wait your turn
cross my cross / slice his hand
not your son / not your friend / not your enemy
i rely on the little things to get me by,
conscience says 'i'm ok',
you don't hear what they say.
'he's not my son, search his home'
off to war,
it's time to go hide inside
soft skin,
weak chin,
just walk me thru it, tell me what to do i'll do
hurry hurry, that's my baby
ohh, do what you can.
all the time - he waits for me.
and now we talk from time to time,
hits you on the head when nobody's there,
then he says 'come here could you fix my tie?'
it's never gonna be,
to be is not the way to be.
show me where to go don't get angry so quickly,
fuck depression...
beyond all ideas of right and wrong there is a field,
i will be meeting you there
understanding is more important than love,
if not money will always trump justice
all is lost,
i'll find my way...
so i say,
to be is not to be.
to be is not the way to be.

It's the time of the year that I fixate on Thanksgiving feast making and the annual promise I make to myself and my peeps, the annual Advent Calendar. The Advent Calendar happens Dec 1-25 where I attempt to create at least 25 illustrations or images and post them to this site (and Facebook, Behance, Dribbble) to make the holidays a bit sweeter and for me, fun. I have been doing this since my graduation from Hartford (2009)--so this year is the sixth year. I started willy-nilly with a focus on the Companions of Saint Nicholas around the world (surfacing Krampus and Zwarte Piet among a few) (2009), rolling into nutcrackers, swiss/german papercutting inspired and Maryushka Nativity scenes. 2012 was Candy coated, Gingerbread Advent. Last year, was for me, "I think I can I think I can" having just gotten out of the hospital after breaking my ankle and being a bit down for the count. But, I did do it...and now we have another advent on the horizon. What to do? How to start the ball rolling?
Well. in 2012 I ended my journey with Kawaii inspired illustration and so, I will pick up that thread and start with Kawaii inspired illustration this year. We are talking a fun, bright fusion of color both Asian Kawaii and western interpreted kawaii as starting points. I am going to be cute and yet, inspired by the more grotesque kawaii as well...taking clues from "PonPon Pon", Sanrio "Hello Kitty" and her friends, "My LIttle Pony", Tokidoki, from the Blythe doll phenomenon, from popular culture to kitch. I will not be imitating what is happening in Japan, but more working with these ideas within my own hand--my own characters, my own symbols combined with the cute and the known that are out there already. Kanye West has a video "Good Morning" created by Takashi Murakami, an amazing artist we saw in Los Angeles who clearly grabs onto all of this Kawaii wonderfulness and throws it out transformed as a new idea. Clearly, Murakami inspires me. And there is the amazing creative Hayao Miyazaki bringing us Princess Mononoke (1997), Spirited Away (2001). Wikipedia links Miyazaki to manga, but his interpretation visually, may be manga derived, his subject matter, his iconography and sources are all based in myth, legend and folklore diving deepply into Yokai. Is this stuff cute? No, there are lots of dusty wigglies in this pile...not the frothy fun that Hello Kitty gives us...but for me, there is meat here...and begins to explain some of the darkness that we see lurking in the depths of anything this Marie Antoinette baroqueness.
Am I going here because the reality of a world in chaos, of Ebola unchecked in part of Africa, the hateful people in Congress, the three wars we are currently engaged in, fracking and the clamp of the hand of The Man?
It is an adventure I let spin in my head in the deep darkness when I wake up at night...and see where it takes me. You will be along for the ride, I hope. Time to brew, percolate and stew.
