The New Zealand collective hatred of dogs annoys me.
Not heard of the one before, I think we are very much a dog liking nation. Staffy's and other fighting bred dogs, not so much
Really? You think a nation where dogs are banned from almost every public space, national park, open area, pub, CBD, hotel, camp ground etc is a "dog liking nation"?
It is due to bad dog owners

The median rent for homes in Perth has risen again, according to new data from the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA).
The REIWA has found that in the three months to February metropolitan rents increased by 4.4 per cent, lifting the overall median from $450 to $470 per week, and representing a rise of $60 on the same time last year.
Since January, houses have risen by $10 to a median of $480 per week, while units, apartments and villas jumped by $30 to a median of $450 per week.
REIWA president David Airey said the sharp rises through January and February were surprising because rental demand during the March quarter had been more subdued when compared with the March quarters for the previous five years.
"The vacancy rate has actually eased off a little, lifting from 1.9 per cent in December to two per cent currently, so it's unusual to see rents going up at the same time as supply has improved," he said.
Mr Airey said while the vacancy rate had increased, it was still around one third below Perth's long-term equilibrium of three per cent.
"The number of new leases has pretty much been flat-lining through the New Year after rising by 30 per cent in the December quarter last year," he said.
"What the data might be indicating is that while there is a bit more stock around to choose from and demand from tenants has slowed, they are none the less choosing to pay a premium for those homes that are of better quality and in more preferred locations."
Throughout January and February the number of listings for rentals dropped noticeably in the western suburbs, the western parts of Stirling and in the Bassendean/Bayswater region. In contrast, listings rose more strongly in the cities of Belmont, Wanneroo, Perth and Canning.

Good evening. I have asked for a few minutes of your time to discuss a matter of national importance: the reform of America's immigration system.
The issue of immigration stirs intense emotions and in recent weeks, Americans have seen those emotions on display. On the streets of major cities, crowds have rallied in support of those in our country illegally. At our southern border, others have organized to stop illegal immigrants from coming in. Across the country, Americans are trying to reconcile these contrasting images.
And in Washington, the debate over immigration reform has reached a time of decision. Tonight, I will make it clear where I stand, and where I want to lead our country on this vital issue.
We must begin by recognizing the problems with our immigration system. For decades, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders. As a result, many who want to work in our economy have been able to sneak across our border and millions have stayed.
They don't! On our nametags we all have the title Elder or Sister. The title is given while we our on missions because of our sacred calling to be ambassadors of Christ.
Of course it is. I think the degree of difficulty varies for every missionary and varies as time goes by. For me there were certain times that were harder that others but in general I was so busy that family and home are not big concerns.
No. The rewards of serving a mission are great, but, not to sound overly cliché, they are not of this world.

Obtaining an edge in investing is important in order to make it in the stock market. One has to find the right strategy that works for them, or otherwise they would not stick with it when times get tough. One strategy that rewards patient investors no matter what the stock market does is called dividend investing. A good and a consistently growing dividend payer that rewards investors with dividends throughout all market conditions, is a must own, since it does not expose its investors to the whims of the market. This also minimizes the risk that investors would have to sell off chunks of their portfolio during adverse market conditions in order to fund their lifestyle. By purchasing the right stock at an attractive valuation, a dividend investor could ignore flash crashes and market volatility and instead simply focus on fundamentals in order to be successful. This strategy does require time and commitment, including searching for hidden dividend gems in such places as the list of weekly dividend increases. Last week there were eight companies which announced their intentions of growing their distributions:
Citizens Holding Company (CIZN) operates as the bank holding company for The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia that provides commercial and personal banking products and services in Mississippi. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 4.8% to 22 cents/share. This marked the eleventh consecutive annual dividend increase for the company. Yield: 4.80%
Graco Inc. (GGG), together with its subsidiaries, provides fluid handling solutions to manufacturing, processing, construction, and maintenance sectors worldwide. It operates in three segments: Industrial, Contractor, and Lubrication. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 5% to 21 cents/share. This marked the fourteenth consecutive annual dividend increase for this dividend achiever. Yield: 2.20%
Enbridge Inc. (ENB) engages in the transportation and distribution of crude oil and natural gas primarily in Canada and the United States. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 15% to 49 cents/share. This international dividend achiever has raised dividends for 15 years in a row. Yield: 3.40%
Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (LECO), through its subsidiaries, manufactures and resells welding and cutting products worldwide. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 10.70% to 31 cents/share. This dividend achiever has raised dividends for 16 years in a row. Yield: 2%
Ecolab Inc. (ECL) engages in the development, manufacture, sale, and service of products that clean, sanitize, and promote food safety and infection prevention. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 13% to 17.50 cents/share. This dividend achiever has raised dividends for 16 years in a row. Yield: 1.50%
Deere & Company (DE) provides products and services primarily for agriculture and forestry worldwide. The company operates in three segments: Agriculture and Turf, Construction and Forestry, and Credit. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 16.7% to 35 cents/share. This marked the eight consecutive annual dividend increase for this dividend challenger. Yield: 1.80%
J&J Snack Foods Corp. (JJSF), together with its subsidiaries, manufactures nutritional snack foods, as well as distributes frozen beverages to the food service and retail supermarket industries in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 9.30% to 11.75 cents/share. This marked the seventh consecutive annual dividend increase for this dividend challenger. Yield: 1%
OGE Energy Corp. (OGE), together with its subsidiaries, operates as an energy and energy services provider offering physical delivery and related services for electricity and natural gas primarily in the south central United States. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 3.5% to 37.50 cents/share. This marked the fifth consecutive annual dividend increase for OGE Energy Corp. Yield: 3.40%
I was once again able to uncover a hidden dividend growth stock, which was missed by the dividend achievers index. The company is Citizens Holding Company (CIZN), a small bank with a market capitalization of just 88 million dollars, which trades a few thousand shares per day. The low volume alone makes the company "unfit" for the dividend achievers index, despite the fact that the company has kept growing distributions throughout the worst financial crisis since 1929. Back in March 2010 I uncovered Hingham Institution for Savings (HIFS), which has deliver a total return of over 27% since I analyzed the stock. I will be analyzing Citizens Holding Company (CIZN) in a future post.

Halliday & Matthiessen (2004: 23):
Systemic theory gets its name from the fact that the grammar of a language is represented in the form of system networks, not as an inventory of structures. …
structure … is interpreted as the outward form taken by systemic choices, not as the defining characteristic of language.
1. Because meaning is intrinsically paradigmatic:
Halliday & Matthiessen (1999: 509):
Meaning can only be construed symbolically, because it is intrinsically paradigmatic, as Saussure understood and built into his own definition of valeur.
2. Because explaining functionality gives priority to the view 'from above':
Halliday & Matthiessen (2004: 31):
Giving priority to the view 'from above' means that the organising principle adopted is one of system: the grammar is seen as a network of interrelated meaningful choices. In other words, the dominant axis is the paradigmatic one: the fundamental components of the grammar are sets of mutually defining contrastive features. Explaining something consists not of stating how it is structured but in showing how it is related to other things: its pattern of systemic relationships, or agnateness (agnation).
3. Because evolved systems cannot be explained simply as the sum of their parts:
Halliday & Matthiessen (2004: 20):
… languages evolve — they are not designed, and evolved systems cannot be explained simply as the sum of their parts. Our traditional compositional thinking about language needs to be, if not replaced by, at least complemented by a 'systems' thinking whereby we seek to understand the nature and the dynamic of a semiotic system as a whole.

Road Kill!
by Deborah Ann Belka
5/22/2012 / Poetry
So often, we travel too fast,
on this road of believing
and we don't notice God
in all that we are seeing.
Fast lanes, fast planes,
quickly gets us there . . .
and where we are going
at times we don't really care.
We make so little effort,
to seek God along the way
and seldom recognize Jesus
as we go about our day.
We don't ask for directions,
for we have our own road map
and we are just too proud
to lay the route in God's lap.
On the road, on the fly,
we are constantly traveling
and we can't see that our faith
in the Lord is unraveling.
As the road starts to narrow,
we often take the wrong turn
and then we blame God . . .
when we crash and burn.
We go to Jesus for repair,
and He fixes up the dent
but we're not always thankful
for what is heaven sent.
So often we travel too fast,
and with God we aren't still
and our trust in Jesus. . .
ends up to be ~ just road kill!
Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God:"

Andrew Wheeler, President Trump's nominee to head the Environmental Protection Agency, told a Senate panel Wednesday that he does not believe climate change is the "greatest crisis" and vowed to continue the administration's agenda of rolling back environmental regulations.
Wheeler, a former coal industry lobbyist who replaced Scott Pruitt to become acting EPA chief last year, faced pointed questions from Democratic senators who sought to cast him as a lackey for the fossil fuel industry and polluters. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who focused on Wheeler's previous work for a coal firm, described him as someone who has his "thumb, wrist, forearm and elbow on the scales" in favor of the energy industry.
Speaking before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Wheeler defended his efforts to relax clean air and water rules as necessary to spur economic growth. He highlighted nearly three-dozen different efforts to roll back regulations since Trump became president.
"Through our deregulatory actions, the Trump administration has proven that burdensome federal regulations are not necessary to drive environmental progress," Wheeler said at his confirmation hearing. "Certainty, and the innovation that thrives in a climate of certainty, are key to progress."
He also defended his resistance to making climate change a top priority and echoed President Trump's misleading claim that wildfires are mostly a result of poor forest management, rather than worsening drought, increasing development and a warming planet.
Pressed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to explain his position on climate change, Wheeler did not deny the established science that humans are causing global warming. Nor did he repeat Trump's claim that climate change is a hoax. "I've not used the hoax word myself," he said.
But he showed no sense of urgency to tackle the issue. "I would not call it the greatest crisis, no, sir," he said to Sanders. "I consider it a huge issue that has to be addressed globally."
A report published in November, compiled by 13 federal agencies — including the EPA — found that global warming poses a profound threat to human life, the environment and the nation's economy. It warned that if significant measures are not taken to rein in climate change, the damage from more severe weather could shrink America's economy to a tenth of its size by 2100.
Asked if he had read the report, Wheeler said he had been briefed once by his staff. He argued that the EPA is already taking steps to reduce carbon emissions, which a recent study found have increased in the last year after years of decline.
Wheeler was also asked about the EPA's proposal to relax Obama-era fuel economy standards that were designed to get the nation's cars and trucks to average more than 50 miles per gallon by 2025. In August, the administration proposed freezing mileage targets in 2020 for six years and moved to take away California's authority to set its own tougher standards. Thirteen other states follow California's more stringent rules.
The Trump administration's proposal would benefit the oil industry. But automakers, who once backed the plan to weaken the standard, now worry the dispute will become tied up in the courts for years, or result in different standards in different states.
At the hearing, Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.), the top Democrat on the committee, said he had "heard that the Trump administration now plans to finalize a 0.5% annual increase in the stringency of the standards, a rate that is 10 times weaker than the current rules." This proposal, he said, would "only lead to extensive litigation and uncertainty for our automakers, and that's not a win-win outcome. It's really more of a lose-lose."
An EPA spokeswoman said that no final decisions have been made about the agency's plans. But if the agency does go forward with this proposal, it's likely to encounter stiff resistance from California.
"Given the current state and cost of technology to reduce climate pollution from vehicles, half a percent is verging on ridiculous," said California Air Resources Board spokesman Stanley Young. "Of course it's better than zero, but can only be justified by more flawed arguments about safety. Industry has proven they can do better than this."
Wheeler said he had met several times with California Air Resources Board Chairwoman Mary Nichols and was eager to negotiate a deal to create one set of fuel economy standards for the country. "Nobody wants a 50-state deal more than I do," he said.
Wheeler is expected to sail to confirmation and become the permanent replacement for Pruitt, who was forced to resign last year under a cloud of ethics investigations.
Republicans, who have a 53-seat majority in the Senate, praised him during the hearing for rolling back a series of Obama-era environmental regulations that they consider burdensome and expensive to implement. Several of them celebrated his efforts to overhaul a rule known as "Waters of the United States" that places federal protections on wetlands and streams.
While environmentalists say these protections are important to drinking water quality and ecology, the regulation has come under fire from the agriculture industry.
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chair of the committee, said Wheeler had done an "outstanding" job of leading the EPA. "The cost of regulations coming out of the EPA was staggering before President Trump took office," Barrasso said.
Democrats used the hearing to grill Wheeler on the specifics of proposals to roll back various regulations, particularly those that already have been implemented, such as rules restricting mercury emissions from power plants.
"I knew that Mr. Wheeler and I would not always agree," Carper said. "But I hoped he would moderate some of Scott Pruitt's most environmentally destructive policies, specifically where industry and the environmental community are in agreement. Regrettably, my hopes have not been realized. In fact, upon examination, Mr. Wheeler's environmental policies appear to be just as extreme as his predecessor's."
Wheeler's opening statement was interrupted by protesters from environmental advocacy groups, who led a chant outside the hearing room: "Shut down Wheeler, not the EPA!"

Whether you're travelling to Brighton for business or pleasure, you can make your trip extra memorable by staying on a 4-star accommodation, lying right on the Brighton beach bayside. Best of all, this kind of top accommodation won't deplete your travel budget.
We are often subjected to physical and mental pressures brought about by our daily life and work routines. This is why we are constantly looking for an outlet to loosen up ourselves from stress. However, there are times when the thought of having a vacation can be stressful somehow because we have to consider a lot of things, such as the budget and the perfect accommodation.
Booking hotel accommodation by Brighton Savoy can be a great idea. It's the perfect way to treat yourself to luxurious yet affordable accommodation while getting to take in the panoramic seaside atmosphere of some of the most iconic venues in Brighton Beach.
Amenities You Can Expect to Help Make Your Holiday Rock
It makes no difference whether you are travelling for business or pleasure, if you don't have the right amenities; it's just not going to be a happy holiday. The more amenities the hotel has to offer, the better because it lets you enjoy every minute of your vacation.
If you're on a holiday with the family or looking for Melbourne conference centres for hire like Brighton Savoy, you can look forward to free Internet access, daily housekeeping, a 24-hour reception service and fine dining at the onsite restaurant at the hotel. What's more, if you will be driving to the hotel or hiring a car during your stay, there is discreet undercover parking.
The hotel has two levels of guest rooms and even the standard rooms come with all the expected amenities to make for a comfortable and convenient stay. The deluxe rooms offer incredible vistas that overlook Port Philip Bay.
Ever Considered the History of a Hotel?
It's well worth looking at a hotel's history to decide if it is the kind of place you'd like to stay at during your trip. They started out as the Brighton motel and underwent a luxury refurbishment just last year to become a contemporary, top-notch boutique hotel in the heart of one of the best known suburbs in Melbourne, just 20 minutes from the CBD. Each of their guest rooms boast four-star accommodation and have been decorated to be stylish and modern. The guests can look forward to the great bayside ambience while still being close to Melbourne where there are many attractions worth visiting.
Shopping Is Important!
Shopping opportunities, for many, can also make or break a holiday. The hotel is located right across the road from Brighton beach so it is a mere 5-minute walk to the Middle Brighton Train Station and Church Street Shopping Strip. Besides being a fantastic shopping destination, they also accommodate some visit and note-worthy venues like the Royal Brighton Yacht Club and Sandringham Yacht Club.
Finally, if your trip incorporates business, they also offer AAA rated accommodation for business travellers who need convenient short term accommodation in the area, close to modern and functional meeting room and conference facilities.
Impeccable service should be of the utmost importance when planning accommodation for your trip and the Brighton Savoy promise not to disappoint. They are the only full service hotel located right on the beach front. So from plush accommodation to world-class dining and so much more they are sure your travels will rock when you stay at the hotel.

Recasting American and Persian Literatures
Local Histories and Formative Geographies from Moby-Dick to Missing Soluch
Part of the Literatures and Cultures of the Islamic World book series (LCIW)
Part of the Literatures and Cultures of the Islamic World book series (LCIW)
Reading literary and cinematic events between and beyond American and Persian literatures, this book questions the dominant geography of the East-West divide, which charts the global circulation of texts as World Literature. Beyond the limits of national literary historiography, and neocolonial cartography of world literary discourse, the minor character Parsee Fedallah in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick (1851) is a messenger who travels from the margins of the American literature canon to his Persian literary counterparts in contemporary Iranian fiction and film, above all, the rural woman Mergan in Mahmoud Dowlatabadi's novel Missing Soluch (1980). In contention with Eurocentric treatments of world literatures, and in recognition of efforts to recast the worldliness of American and Persian literatures, this book maintains that aesthetic properties are embedded in their local histories and formative geographies.

24 hour cancellation policy.
Please understand that when you forget or cancel your appointment without giving enough notice, we miss the opportunity to fill that appointment time, and clients on our waiting list miss the opportunity to receive services. Our appointments are confirmed 24 hours in advance because we know how easy it is to forget an appointment that you booked months ago. Since the services are reserved for you personally, a cancellation fee will apply. We politely request that when you receive your confirmation text message, if you can no longer attend your appointment please let us know.
Late arrivals to appointments.
We understand that sometimes getting to your appointment on time can prove challenging due to many different reasons, we will try our best to accommodate your arrival time and still provide the services that you have booked, however in certain circumstances your late arrival time may mean that your stylist does not have sufficient time to accommodate the appointment, as they have other clients booked into their schedule. Dependent on your arrival time it may mean that we have to reschedule your appointment, however if you have booked out a large amount of time a fee may apply for your late arrival.
Prime time appointments.
When booking or rescheduling an appointment during prime time we may ask for a booking fee due to the high demand for these times. Weekday evenings (after 4pm) and Saturdays are our busiest periods and many clients wish to reserve these appointments, a booking fee ensures that these appointments stay filled and allow each client the equal opportunity to utilise these prime time slots.
The cancellation and prime time appointment policy allows us to inform our standby guests of an availability, as well as keeping our schedule filled, thus better serving everyone. We will apply the cancellation policy on an individual basis as we understand that sometimes there are exceptional circumstances and we will continue to be understanding of this. Eve Hair policies are presented and provided in the best interests of both our staff and clientele.

Every year friends ask me about this recipe so I'm reposting it from my old blog, originally published on November 28, 2005. My family enjoys this savory bread pudding every Thanksgiving and hope it becomes one of your holiday favorites too.
Thanksgiving and Bread Pudding
A few years ago, I realized that as much as I loved the whole concept of Thanksgiving stuffing, it's lack of moisture and sometimes-bland flavors just put me off. Perhaps I had tried all the wrong recipes from magazines as well as my library of cookbooks. Finally, Fine Cooking magazine put out a fantastic issue in 1999 addressing my need for a new type of stuffing. Their January issue featured an article called "Savory Bread Puddings" – I liked the sound of that immediately. I quickly flipped to the story and reviewed the recipes that included Wild Mushroom Bread Pudding with Cambozola, Caramelized Onion and Roasted Garlic Bead Pudding, and Roasted Fennel, Sausage and Apple Bread Pudding. I've tried all three a few times and found the Wild Mushroom recipe to be my favorite. My second choice is the Caramelized Onion with a few changes – 3 large heads of garlic was delicious if you LOVE garlic but almost painful for those who were not as enthusiastic so I usually go with 2; I personally find challah bread a better match than other breads.You don't need to save the Wild Mushroom recipe for next Thanksgiving; it goes well as an accompaniment for roasted meats or just on its own.
Wild Mushroom Bread Pudding with Cambozola Cheese
3Tbs. plus 2 tsp. butter
2 cups chopped onions (about 2 large)
1 1/2 lb. mushrooms (mix of shiitake caps and creminis), sliced
1 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
3/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. dried marjoram
1/2 cup Madeira
1 can rich beef broth (10 1/2 oz.)
1 cup heavy cream or crème fraiche
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme
9 oz. peasant or hearty whole-wheat bread, stale or oven-dried, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 6 cups) I usually use Pugliese bread.
8 oz. Cambozola cheese (rind trimmed), cut into 1/2-inch pieces I often cut the pieces even smaller for more coverage. Gorgonzola is also nice with this recipe.
Heat 1 Tbs. of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and season with a little salt and pepper; cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the onions and set aside. In the same skillet, heat another 1 Tbs. butter. Add half of the mushrooms and seasoning with 1/4 tsp. marjoram, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Cook over high heat until the mushrooms are browned and all the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside with the onions. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms, using another 1 Tbs. butter and seasoning again with 1/4 tsp. marjoram, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. When the mushrooms are brown, add the first batch of cooked mushrooms and the onions back into the skillet. Add the Madeira. Cook, stirring frequently, over high heat until the liquid evaporates and the mixture is a rich brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. I tend to use a little more butter for browning and a wee bit more Madeira.
Heat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, whisk together the broth, cream, eggs, egg yolks, thyme, and the remaining 1/2 tsp. marjoram, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Add the bread and mushroom mixture to the custard; toss. Let sit f or 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to saturate the bread. Gently stir in the cheese.
Brush a 2-qt. (or 9×13 inch) baking dish evenly with the remaining 2 tsp. butter. Pour the bread mixture into the baking dish, distributing the ingredients evenly. Bake in the hot oven until lightly browned and firm, 40-45 minutes. (Alternatively, butter 8 1-cup ramekins and divide the bread mixture among them. Bake until lightly browned and firm, 30-35 minutes.

E-mail of the Year!
- Created on Wednesday, 01 May 2013 13:34
- Written by SE's collections
A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
'Dear Lord:
I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through.
So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman...
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate,
Awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, Fed them breakfast,
Packed their lunches, Drove them to school, Came home and picked
up the dry cleaning, Took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank
to make a deposit,
Went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries,
Paid the bills and balanced the check book.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog..
Then, it was already 1 P.M. And he hurried to make the beds,
Do the laundry, vacuum, Dust, And sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.
Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework.
Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper, He cleaned the kitchen, Ran the dishwasher, Folded laundry,
Bathed the kids, And put them to bed.
At 9 P.M. He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to
bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: -
Lord, I don't know what
I was thinking.
I was so wrong to envy my
wife's being able to stay
home all day.
Please, Oh! Please,
let us trade back.. Amen!'
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
"My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change
things back to the way they were. But you'll have to wait nine months, though.
You got pregnant last night"

CHINA : Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces – In the past couple days, two additional human cases of H7N9 avian influenza have been reported from two areas of China, according to different sources. The Hong Kong Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) has been notified by the Health and Family Planning Commission of Guangdong Province of a confirmed human case of avian influenza A(H7N9) today (November 28) affecting a 31-year-old woman in Dongguan, Guangdong Province.
The patient, who is in critical condition, is currently receiving treatment in a hospital in Guangzhou.
Elsewhere in Zhejiang province, Zhejiang Xinhua Channel reports (computer translated) the Jiaxing city's first human case of the avian influenza. Loosely translated, the patient is a 60-yea-old woman who contracted the virus while buying poultry at a roadside stall. The patient is currently hospitalized in critical condition.
This would make the number of human H7N9 avian influenza cases to 445 on the Mainland.

Investment risks may give us jitters but they apply to all asset classes. As they say a butterfly fluttering its wings in China may set off a tornado elsewhere, sinking many a carefully-laid profit plan. Some risks are controllable to a lesser or larger degree but some are usually beyond the control of investors.
For example, when buying a property you can mitigate developer issues, legal problems and agreement trouble to a large extent through due diligence. But not all risks can be foreseen and even if it can be, prevented. This is true not just in property investments but in all asset classes. It is therefore important for investors to know some of the perils one may not have control over.
Government policy
Government, at various levels, can be a real wild card as their policies have a big impact on property investments. For example, a road project that would have greatly enhanced connectivity and boosted growth in a locality may be shelved or stalled when there is a change of power. A new project may be taken up and authorities may acquire land and want to demolish other property in an area. Owners may only get rates below the market rate and are forced to sell if they had intended it to hold it for the long term; worse, even these payments end up being stuck for years on end due to delays or litigations.
Policy changes may also play truant with investments. Adding extra layers of clearances in approval process or any ambiguities in a new procedure may lead to projects getting stuck with the local authorities. New objections may be raised on approvals already given, setting back the clock on completion and hand-over. Buyers and builders do not much recourse in these cases.
Macro changes
Events that impact the larger economy – nationally and globally – are another category of risk over which investors have no control. The global financial crisis sapped liquidity and changed central bank policies and economic growth trajectory globally for many years. The slowdown in China has affected commodity-centric economies around the world. In an inter-connected world, where money flows freely to pockets of opportunities and leaves quickly, sentiments shift suddenly.
There are also wars and acts of terrorism that de-stabilize growth plans. Civil wars and political unrest also create ripples that may take a while to settle. Currency fluctuations, global tax low changes such as FATCA and changes for BEPS also impact the performance of various assets.
While some events such as policy shifts may unfold slowly, most events are sudden but lead to large structural shifts that are long lasting. The collapse of the twin tower in the US in 20011 is one example of a black swan event that was hard to foresee and whose impact lingers for many years.
Natural calamity
Similar to man-made disasters, nature may also wreck havoc on carefully laid investment plans. The tsunami that hit Chennai dented buyer's appetite for coastal properties for a few years. Cyclones such as Katrina that hit New Orleans, USA may shift property buyer interest from one area to another as their priorities change after the calamity.
While floods or likelihood of water shortage can be somewhat assessed, many others are not so easy to predict. For instance, many regions may be categorised as seismic zones with a risk of earthquake occurring; but no quakes may have happened for even a century. And just when we become complacent, nature may show who is in control. Insurance policies can help with a few situations to reduce loss but the financial damage in most catastrophes is to be borne by the buyers.
So, property buyers must be aware of the worst case situations by understanding the many risks that are beyond one's sphere of control.

One of the worst things Walt ever did -- besides deporting migrant workers, betraying his friends, crashing a car with Hank inside, ordering Jesse to kill Gale, orchestrating several hit jobs, committing several murders and poisoning a child -- was the moment he decided to let Jane choke on her own vomit while he stood there and watched. His criminal negligence led to the mental breakdown of her father, an air traffic controller, which then led to a plane crash over the skies of Albuquerque.
But we should have seen it coming. Earlier in season 2, we see a cute scene in which Jesse is surprised to see Jane up and out of bed. The dialogue is a tad dark, in retrospect.
Well yeah Jane, he was expecting you to get up at some point. Only a depraved writer's room would know in advance that Jane would go on to sleep, choke on the regurgitated remains of the day's Funyuns, and never wake up.
It gets even more explicit. In the same episode that Jane dies, she aids Jesse by flipping him on his side so he doesn't choke on his own vomit while he's high.
Holly is not a baby drug addict, to my knowledge, and even so Skylar still turns her on her side, just in case.
This is the sort of thing that becomes obvious once you watch the show again. But the show did manage to slip in one more twist of the knife after the fact, in a flashback following Jane's death.
Ha ha get it? She does throw up in her mouth at the most inopportune time, causing her death! Aren't easter eggs a gas?
Oh Gale, that poor goofy bastard. Granted, he sort of signed on for cooking meth and the danger that entails, but the writers ensured that his death was little more than a vehicle for Walt and especially Jesse's struggle with guilt. That inner-strife permeates the rest of the series, even in subliminal details.
You can see it when Jesse's playing a video game with a plastic gun. It sort of plays out like a hammy advertisement for the long-forgotten Rage, but it also shows that Jesse is still having trouble wrestling with his sins. At one point, the in-game character turns the corner and you stare at this for a good second:
Flip that illegible graffiti around in a mirror and it clearly says "GALE" -- which would fit with the current the mindset of Jesse, who is punishing himself by re-living his biggest mistake, over and over again. And you know, playing Rage.
I know that sounds like a stretch, but check out Lydia's office:
Don't tell me that the name of the corporation "MadriGAL Electromotive GmbH" was painted on without any thought as to the most visible letters. Seriously, if this was an accident I would like to remain ignorant of any information to the contrary.
I've only been able to find two clear instances of "Gale" written backwards, but there's gotta be more, right? These things are like untimely deaths of celebrities or underwhelming movie franchises that unnecessarily stretch out a short fantasy novel -- they always come in threes. It's to the point where I'm seeing the letters everywhere, even in a shot like this:
Doesn't it look like "Gale" is spelled backwards with the cigarettes in the ashtray? It kind of looks like it's suggesting a hint that could resemble an implication of Gale. Right?
Alright, fine. Let's move on to the real stuff.
Throughout the second season, several episodes began with dramatic shots of a pink teddy bear, blown apart by what we later discover is an airplane collision. Like a film student thesis, these cold opens are purposely obtuse and don't really add up to much -- until you take their episode titles together. In order, the episodes in which the teddy bear opens the show: "Seven-Forty-Seven" "Down" "Over" "ABQ" -- as in, the 737 aircraft that exploded over Albuquerque.
That's just the beginning. The little pink spectre of death haunts the cast everywhere. Like the shop that Walt walks into in his birthday suit.
Lots-O can also be seen hanging out in the top right corner of the painting in Jane's room.
If you squint, you can even make out a pink dot near the top of this tree, outside Jesse's car.
But the pink bear isn't content to watch over everyone like a benevolent plush god -- you can also see it in other things, and in people. This weird half-burned knick-knack in Gale's apartment resembles the bear:
And of course, that head also foreshadows the last moments of Gus.
And he's not even the last Harvey Dent on the list. In late season five, Jesse's face gets pretty mangled. One side in particular.
So basically, if you don't see a pink teddy bear once in a while, you are doomed to become the pink teddy bear, which may or may not involve your torture and/or imminent death.

Well, that didn't take long. Out of the prison that has denied us our liberty for the last 44 years and on parole, already we're brawling in the street. Less than a week after trading the striped pyjamas for a cheap polyester suit we're into yet another round of the fistfight with the Spanish over the moth-eaten, tax dodging, archaic embarrassment that is Gibraltar.
And Michael Howard - who should be ashamed of such irresponsible mischief-making - walked straight into the Spanish trap with some utterly daft sabre-rattling that just makes us collectively look petulant, hostile - like a Millwall fan at an away match. And already passengers on Easyjet flights are rowing and being removed from planes as they trade blows over the future of The Rock.
Another example of Little Englander chauvinism was hard on its heels with Cadbury Easter Egg gate. A complete and utter non-story if there ever was one. It would have taken anyone looking seriously at this dire threat about four seconds to see the word 'Easter' plastered 13,000 times all over the National Trust's website.
What Theresa May was doing opining about the importance of defending Easter eggs while hanging with those cuddly Saudis is anyone's guess. The PM seemed to find it easier to condemn the National Trust over it supposed misdeeds than the Syrian goverment over yesterday's reported sarin gas attack.
And, as for the spent force that is Nigel Farage wading in with his tout defence of 'Judeo-Christian' traditions... a few Jews might beg to differ that defending Easter eggs is high on their list of national institutions for which they would die in a ditch.
It's going to require a lot more than this kind of juvenile, backward-looking tub-thumping if we are going to find a decent and sustainable way in our brave new world. If we plan to get our exports to India, for example - where the Chancellor is busy today exuding warmth - above the 1.7% of our export total where they currently languish, then we need to grow up a bit. Get cleverer. Not rely on dewy-eyed references to Empire and building railways plus civil services which leave Delhi stone cold in 2017.
What these concerns have in common is a looking backwards to a jumpers for goalposts, 50s-style Britain when everything was great and god was in our garden. It wasn't. And, even if it was, there is no going back. No plea to stop the world because we want to get off and then take the train back in the opposite direction.
We are going to have to work out what we are and what we'd like to be. I never thought I'd find myself missing Blair's Cool Britannia. But at least that confection celebrated things that were contemporary, modern and strong rather than elements of our national life that are old, grey, and fraying round the edge. Like Gibraltar.

That's right, it's time once again for Gen Con, the biggest tabletop gaming convention in North America! And just like last year, there will be a bunch of CUDO Plays games, and partners in attendence. Here is the (hopefully) comprehensive rundown of all the various local creators who will have a presence at Gen Con this year.
CUDO Plays Presentation!
Firstly, CUDO Plays is very excited to be giving a talk at this year's Gen Con. The topic of our presentation is "How to Build a Board Game Design Community." Something we definitely hope we know a thing or two about by now! If you're around, please join us Friday at noon. Event is free, but you'll need to grab a ticket from the link above.
Designer Showcase and Playtest Hall
This year, Designer/Publisher Speed Dating has been replaced by the First Encounter Designer Showcase. Though slightly different in format, this is still a great way for game designers to get their game in front of major publishers. Our own Katie Khau and Jess Chu of Cow&Duck Studios will be in the Designer Showcase pitching Subterranean Cities (Season 4 award-winner) and BlindFold (Season 5 game).
Of course there is also the First Exposure Playtest Hall (FEPH). Any Gen Con attendee can get into the Playtest Hall for free and play some prototype games from aspiring designers. For these designers, this is an unparalleled opportunity to have their creations played by thousands of gamers from around the world. Season 5 favorites Let's Jam!, and Shape Up! will both be in the FEPH from 4-6pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday!
Elf Creek Games
Our friends at local game publisher Elf Creek Games also have a number of things going on at Gen Con.
Season 4 award-winning game End of the Trail, which Elf Creek successfully Kickstarted, will be available for purchase at booth #2862. Elf Creek will also be running demos of their other game Atlantis Rising, and will have two new game prototypes (though not from local designers) in the First Exposure Playtest Hall. You can learn more about those games here.
C-U Adventures
CUDO Plays sponsor Champaign-Urbana Adventures in Time and Space will be running more escape rooms than ever before at this year's Gen Con. Players have four different exciting puzzles to choose from: Castle Dracula, Office Hours, Research Station Gamma, and The Cabin. Each a different genre to suit nerds of any taste!
Wear Your CUDO Plays Shirt!
As always, many members of the CUDO Plays Committee and the C-U gaming community at large will be at Gen Con as attendees and volunteers. If you see a fellow C-U gamer while at Gen Con, make sure to give them a hearty hug, friendly wave, or just a knowing thumbs-up. Also, if you have a CUDO Plays t-shirt, wear it this Friday to show your support for our awesome little competition. Hope to see you there!

This rigorous one-year program equips students with tools for researching, chronicling, and interpreting all aspects of design. Each student is asked to identify an individual research territory to explore during the year. Through workshops, seminars, lectures, and site-visits, students learn about the issues and policies that shape the man-made environment; deploy research methods, reporting techniques, and theoretical models; while experimenting with media for communicating their research, such as writing, podcasting, video, exhibitions, and events.
The MA department has its own floor in Manhattan's Flatiron District. Each student has a desk space within an open-plan, light-filled workspace. The program takes advantage of its New York location with frequent visits to the city's design collections, archives, libraries, design and architecture studios, and behind-the-scenes access to new exhibitions, buildings, and urban planning ventures. With more than 30 guest lecturers and critics visiting the department per semester to supplement the core curriculum, the program connects students to inspirational mentors and helps them to forge relationships with potential employers and colleagues.
- Successful completion of 30 credits, including all required courses, administrative requirements and the thesis project. Documentation of all thesis projects must be on file in the Design Research, Writing and Criticism Department to be eligible for degree conferral.
- A matriculation of one academic year. Students must complete their degree within two years, unless given an official extension by the provost.
- Students are required to maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (B) in order to remain in good academic standing.
Note: Departmental requirements are subject to change by the department chair if the chair deems that such change is warranted.

Artist Statement:
Through my work I like to explore the relationship between people and place. I mainly work through the medium of photography but increasingly integrate other art forms to enhance the narrative and stimulate dialogue.
My vision in my current work is to use photography with other media in innovative ways to engage and educate a diverse audience (geographically and culturally) about specific unique aspects of Dublin's people, place and culture, present and past.
My exploration of photography as visual art and its relationship with other visual arts practices intrigues me and I continue to explore this through different studies, projects and by the integration of installations in my work.

Courtroom audience hoping Dallas episode just bad dream
It will hardly be a titanic battle of Southfork proportions, but the final bout of the infernal domestic drama known as Liverpool FC will be staged in a Dallas courthouse.
The British QCs, who were upstaged late on Wednesday by a Dallas judge's decision to grant Tom Hicks and George Gillett a temporary restraining order forbidding the sale of the club, wreaked a revenge of sorts yesterday.
The club's formidable barrister, Anthony Grabiner, described Dallas as that "world-famous jurisdiction" to much laughter when the judge and all the legal teams -- with Hicks' own lawyers conspicuous by their absence -- were hauled back to the British High Court yesterday, in an attempt to render Judge Jim Jordan's Texas ruling invalid.
But there was no getting away from the spoke that Hicks put in the wheels of progress which finally seemed to be moving when the billionaire businessman John W Henry swept up for a Liverpool board meeting on Wednesday evening, thinking he was about to witness his coronation as the new proprietor at Anfield.
Judge Jordan is not expected by lawyers in Texas to stand defiant in the face of the High Court's verdict that his restraining order should be immediately overturned.
Despite the abuse that has defaced his Facebook page since he signed off the order, he is a trial judge of 30 years' standing; a Democrat who holds great store by the international legal principle of comity -- which states that a verdict granted under one legal jurisdiction must not be undermined in another.
But another hearing seems to be necessary for Judge Jordan to strike out the initial order. A few more hours of torture loom for Liverpool and for Henry's New England Sports Ventures (NESV), whose £300m deal remains unsigned.
Judge Jordan may be wondering what he let himself in for when Hicks and Gillett rolled up at his courthouse to file their rushed request for a restraining order at noon, Dallas time, on Wednesday -- seven hours after the High Court had effectively freed Liverpool's directors to sell up.
It took two and half hours for him to pore over and consider their case which, when typed up in its final format, was littered with spelling mistakes. Gillett appears as Gillette.
The judge's handwritten notes on the final restraining order illustrates his unease at being unable to hear Liverpool's side of the story before granting it.
The word "solely" is scribbled by him on the document 16 times, indicating that the bitter complaints the pair make against the club are "based solely" on their own allegations. The one-eyed nature of the 29-page document is breathtaking.
This was a document Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton received a mere five minutes before the board meeting convened to approve Liverpool's sale to NESV.
By daybreak yesterday, Broughton and his advisers were still wondering whether Dallas really could upstage the Royal Courts of Justice. It was also suggested that Hicks had secretly sold his shares to Mill Financial, which was thus in a position to pay off the club's £237m debts to Royal Bank of Scotland -- due today -- and gazump NESV.
The gloom deepened. Even the name of Kenny Huang, the Chinese businessman whose putative move for Liverpool was one of the more colourful fleeting chapters in this whole astonishing saga, popped up in the 'Liverpool Echo', that paper's unproven suggestion being that Huang was the money-man behind a company linked to Mill.
But Hicks' spokesman popped up within hours to put that whole story to bed. Hicks had not sold to anyone, he said, and the course was set for yesterday's hearing.
In court, Hicks's Texan double-hold gave Grabiner the opportunity to deliver his most bombastic performance of a week in which Liverpool FC have been his main source of income.
He declared it to be "preposterous" that Hicks and Gillett had gone to a legal jurisdiction in another country because they were not happy with Mr Justice Floyd's decision in the High Court on Wednesday to order the reinstatement of the Liverpool board.
"They want a second bite of the cherry and if it wasn't so serious it would be a joke, grotesque parody, preposterous, unfair. They are just incorrigible."
The judge agreed, so now it is back to Texas. A written form of yesterday's High Court judgment -- compelling Hicks and Gillett to get that Dallas restraining order lifted by 4.0 this afternoon or be in contempt of court -- was physically delivered to his lawyers in London last night.
Local lawyers expect another punishing session for the two outgoing Liverpool owners.
"Once you've gone cap in hand for a restraining order you have to account for yourselves," said Thomas Kruse of US-based Baker & Hostetler legal firm. "The judge is likely to expect them to answer for themselves.
"A ruling from the High Court is one that the judge here would respect. If it sends a signal to say that the restraining order is inappropriate, he would abide by that. We feel the judge acted blindly, without full facts, in the first place."
The circus will now move to a new location where a significant episode in the soap opera will unfold. Does another cliff-hanger await us? No one dare predict anything where Liverpool are concerned. (© Independent News Service)

What is a Puppy Mill and why you shouldn't buy your puppy from a retail store ? [Disturbing Images]
Did you know that most dogs sold are from puppy mills ? Do you know what is a puppy mill?
Recently, I had a pleasure to watch Canadian Premiere of "Dog by Dog". Film touches the issue that is close to my heart – well-being of dogs.
In the end of the film, there was a Q&A session with the director Christopher Crimes. One of the questions was – what can I do to help ? And the answer was – raise awareness. So here I am, doing my part in raising awareness.
What is a Puppy Mill ?
If you google puppy mill, which I highly recommend you to do, you will find this definition:
The key in this definition is word inhumane. If you would dig deeper and read more, you will find that usually, puppy mill dogs live in the wired cages, that are slightly bigger than an actual dog with wired floors. These dogs never run outside, they never feel love from their owner, they stay in the same cage for years because the soul purpose of their existence is to produce puppies that can be sold directly, to retail stores or online.
Many of the dogs in puppy mill get sick and die, then they are usually thrown out of the cage and replaced by new dogs.
Why Puppy Mill owners do that to their dogs ?
The answer is pretty simple and it is common to most of the bad things that happens – human greed. Puppy Mills owners are treating dogs as a source of income and they are cutting costs on everything. Small space, breeding every heat, horrible conditions – all this maximizes profit for the puppy mill owner. This business is very profitable as some puppies are sold for as much as 6 thousand dollars.
The worst part is that puppy mills are totally legal.
Since the industry is very profitable, lawmakers are closing their eyes on problem of puppy mills. There are no laws preventing puppy mill owners to limit amount of dogs on the premises, law that would disallow wired flooring of cages, law that would disallow dogs to be held outside in extreme cold or heat, or law that would enforce puppy mill owner to walk the dogs.
It seems to me that in this case, human greed went too far…
How is this related to you?
Another interesting moment in the movie was that people have no idea that puppies, that they buy came from a puppy mill. People think that if they buy a puppy from a retail store, that is approved by some 'Blah Blah' association, that this puppy and its parents were held in the good conditions. This is wrong, because most of those retail stores want to cut their expenses, so they buy puppies in bulk from puppy mills.
How to make sure that you don't buy dog from a puppy mill ?
a. Make sure that you buy dog from a reputable breeder, that would allow you to see the premises where dogs are held
b. Make sure that the breeder shows you puppy's parents.
c. Reputable breeder will not sell their puppy's in the retail store, because they care where the puppy will end up living
d. Reputable breeder will have a lot of questions for you to make sure that you are the right candidate for a puppy
How can you help with this problem ?
a. Make sure you know where your puppy came from
b. Adopt a dog
c. Raise awareness by sharing information about puppy mills with your friends and family

PHUKET: Two huts which belong to monks and are believed to be on Royal Forest Land were investigated by Phuket authorities yesterday (July 26). While one of the monks is to be investigated by the Phuket branch of the National Office of Buddhism.
A team of officials, led by Vice Governor Somkiet Sangkhaosuthirak, went to inspect the huts on Mai Sibsong Mountain in Chalong after they received a complaint from local residents stating that there were monks putting up illegally buildings and living on Royal Forest Land.
"We have to be strict. It is Royal Forest Land so nobody should be allowed to build accommodation here. If we let it continue there will be more and more people repeating this," said V/Gov Somkiet.
"This land is on one of the highest hills on the island and has some of the cleanest and purest water. Therefore, if people live on this land it is likely that the water will become contaminate. Many people drink this water," he added.
At the area in question the team of officials found the two monks, Phra Somchai and Phra Pramoon together with a nun. Phra Somchai held a monk̕s certificate but Phra Pramool said he had lost his.
Meanwhile, at the rear of one of the huts two matresses belonging to Phra Pramool and the nun were found lying side by side. The monk's precepts do not allow him to even lie down in the same sleeping quarters as a woman.
"The Royal Forestry Office will have to come here and remove huts within a month. The monks can move to live in any temple that has the same sect," said V/Gov Somkiet.
"The Office of Buddhism will also have to investigate the monks validity," he added.
The nun has only been temporarily ordained and is to return home very soon

Staffordshire County Senior League Premier Division side Knypersley Victoria Football Club have took the difficult decision to fold after they were re-formed in 2013 – following folding also in 2011.
The club was established as Knypersley Victoria in 1969, inheriting the Tunstall Road ground of the defunct Knypersley Football Club. They entered teams into the Staffordshire County League and the Leek & Moorlands Sunday League. However, financial difficulties forced the club to disband their Saturday side during the 1970s until they rejoined the Division One of the Staffordshire County League in 1980.
In 1984 the club were founder members of the Staffordshire Senior League. They were runners-up in 1987–88 and remained in the league until joining Division One of the West Midlands (Regional) League in 1991. They won the Division One title in 1992–93, earning promotion to Division One.
In 1994 Knypersley were founder members of the Midland Alliance, which took the top clubs from the West Midlands (Regional) League and the Midland Combination. In 2002 the club was renamed Biddulph Victoria. They folded at the end of the 2010–11 season after being evicted from Tunstall Road. However, the club was reformed in 2013 as Knypersley Victoria and joined Division One of the Staffordshire County Senior League. After finishing fourth in 2014–15, they were promoted to the Premier Division.

Cedar Close has always been a nice place to live – a quiet suburban street where everyone looks out for one another and bad things don't happen.
Until late one evening, when Robert Mills is found dead in his bedroom.
Downstairs, in their beautiful kitchen, his wife Laurie sits alone in the dark with her head in her hands.
She can't remember the last few hours, but she knows she didn't kill Robert.
The trouble is, no-one believes her…
I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
My Thoughts
As a book, this one is really good. The author has a writing style that is easy to read but at the same time, fast-paced such that you are never bored. The main character, Laurie, is also interesting. I saw so much strength from her and I couldn't really help but admire her. I wasn't able to connect with anyone else though- not even with the nice detective in this case, DI Riley.
This book gives us a glimpse of what happens to people around those with personality disorders. Robert Mills was an emotional abuser and he most likely has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (according to the book) but I also see antisocial features in him. These people don't feel things the way that they do and the way mind works differently too. They take and take and take without remorse to those they hurt. So, in the end, Laurie was left as a shell of herself. Reading about these kinds of people scares me. Especially because it's hard to know since they are so good at hiding their true selves.
However, even if I enjoyed the book and I like the psychological aspect of the book, I find that it lacks something as a mystery and thriller. One thing that I love about thrillers is that I am surprised in the end. Just dumbfounded. I want something that I did not expect. This was not the case in this book. The real murderer was obvious from the beginning. The clues weren't subtle at all.
Overall, I still recommend this book especially if you won't mind the predictability and would like to read a psychological thriller.

Quietly Watching The Time Go By.
December 31, 2008
Firstly: sorry for the lack of posts. I've been taking a few days off "thinking." You can expect a proper post sometime soon, but for now, I'm just going to share something which I wrote the other day. (I'm going to be posting it up on my Poetry page, too. xD;)
You climb high, high up those mountains; your hands bare, bloody and dirty, clinging desperately onto that unstable cliff wall. You climb and you climb; you can't see your destination but you just keep on climbing. You bare the pain 'till you can't no more.
Then you're just falling; falling through the cool clouds and feeling the wind kiss your reddened cheeks. You think of crying for help, but find yourself with the most ridiculous grin spread across your face, and in that moment, you imagine, just for a second, that you're flying up to the place you've been searching for all along. ★
