Austen-based literature, especially based on Pride and Prejudice, is surprisingly common. I suppose a lot of that is due to the 1995 BBC adaptation and the 2005 movie. It's all essentially Austen fan-fiction, and some of it is quite good. There are sequels, there are prequels, there are stories that focus on one of the more minor characters, and there are stories about people who, for whatever reason, relive one of the stories. Bridget Jones's Diary, which is based on Pride and Prejudice, and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, which is based on Persuasion, are probably the most famous of these. Austenland and another book that I read last year called Me and Mr Darcy are both about women who go on vacation in order to actually relive Pride and Prejudice.
These books have a lot in common. They're both perfectly fine books that are quite entertaining and they are more than just simple retreadings of the Pride and Prejudice plot. Another thing they have in common is something incredibly annoying: their heroines, in spite of claiming to be obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, have absolutely no memory of the first, oh, two-thirds of the book. Both of them complain about the man with whom they have a tense verbal relationship and say things like, "If only he could be more like Mr Darcy!"
Do they not remember the book? Elizabeth hates Darcy for the first part of the book. When he proposes she is genuinely surprised because she thinks that he hates her just as much. They banter, they insult each other, they misunderstand each other both deliberately and inadvertently. How can people who claim to be so obsessed with P&P look at a bantering relationship – especially one that uses almost exactly the same words as P&P – and NOT see it as a Darcy relationship? Honestly, if the main character is that clueless about the book and story that has been touted as her favourite, it makes me trust and like her a little bit less.
There are good moments in Austenland: Jane has a believably hard time letting go of her modern self and following the 'rules' of Regency England – something I think a lot of time travellers underestimate is the difficulty of letting go of the modern assumptions that make us who we are. And I had to laugh at the piano playing scene:
With professional suavity, Jane arranged her skirt, spread out the music, poised her fingers, and then with one hand played the black keys, singing along with the notes, "Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater, had a wife and couldn't keep her, put her in a pumpkin shell, and there he kept her very well."
She rose and curtsied to the room. (p.111)
I think that showed great poise and humour and, as a pianist myself, I appreciated it.

I have never been a watch person. To be honest, the perception of their utility, rather than as a fashion accessory, has always been my main focus. Why do I need to tell the time if I have an iPhone almost literally glued to my hand? As I began to embrace their uniqueness, however, I was reminded that there will never be such a simple addition to my outfit. I could wear a necklace or a ring, but nothing will ever be quite as timeless (pun intended?).
When the fine people at Daniel Wellington got in touch with me, I didn't give it a second thought. First of all, their watches are all so elegantly designed and I can say with 100% honesty that there isn't a single product they sell that I wouldn't happily wear around my wrist.
The Dapper St Mawes in rose gold with deep blue hands, Roman numerals and date display is one of my favourites. It adds a bold, yet understated element to my daily look.
The new Classic Petite Ashfield is ultra-thin and features a matte black strap with a sophisticated black dial. It's available with rose gold or silver details, but you know me – I had to get rose gold.
I lead a fairly busy lifestyle. Between a full-time job, my own obligations, family, and friends, it can be hard to keep up with it all. Thankfully, I have fashion staples in my daily life that can keep me on time and enhance almost any outfit. The best part about a Daniel Wellington watch is that you can dress it up or dress it down, but it still adds an undeniable touch of sophistication to your everyday.

Cleaning & Prevention
Maintaining your teeth and gums is the foundation for a beautiful healthy smile. Dr. Beckel, Robbins and Alvarez have created a practice where their licensed and highly experienced dental hygienists provide a comprehensive approach to overall dental health. Blending innovative technology and a variety of proven services, our hygienists are able to provide unparalleled patient care in a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Below is a list of the cleaning and prevention services our hygienists perform:
Examination of diagnostic radiographs (x-rays): Radiographs are crucial to detecting decay, tumors, cysts and bone loss. Our office utilizes digital radiographs, which are faster, more comfortable and release a much lower dose of radiation.
Removal of calculus (tartar): Calculus is hardened deposits that form above and below the gum line. Calculus cannot be removed with regular brushing and requires special dental instruments.
Removal of plaque: Plaque is a sticky biofilm deposit that covers the teeth. It is composed of bacteria, saliva and food debris.
Teeth Polishing: Once the hygienist has removed the majority of calculus and plaque from the teeth, a hand-piece and Prophylaxis (Prophy) paste is used to remove any additional stains or plaque. This process also helps to polish the teeth, giving them a shiny clean look and feel.
Oral Cancer Screening: The doctors and hygienists check thoroughly for any sings of oral cancer on the gum tissue, tongue, lips, cheeks, throat tissue, face and neck area. Your hygienist will be looking for lumps, swelling, discolorations, ulcerations, or any abnormalities.
Periodontal probing: Periodontal examination and probing are used to assess the health of your gums and teeth. This screening canhelp the hygienist and doctor diagnose the gum diseases gingivitis and periodontitis. The hygienist will take measurements of the spaces between your teeth and gums and look for reddish, inflamed, bleeding, or receding gum tissues.
Topical Fluoride treatments: Fluoride is a naturally occurring element that strengthens teeth and helps prevent tooth decay. Fluoride has many positive effects on the teeth. It can help build resistance to acid, protect against sensitivity and strengthen enamel. Your hygienist may recommend a fluoride rinse or varnish during your cleaning visit.
Periodontal therapy and maintenance: Periodontal disease is a chronic condition, which can be progressive without regular follow-up care. Our hygienists are all experienced periodontal therapists and will use the latest nonsurgical techniques to treat and prevent periodontal disease. Ask your hygienist about early warning signs of periodontitis and prevention.
Sealants: A sealant is a clear, hard protective coating, which is placed over the chewing surface of the teeth to help protect and prevent cavities. Typically sealants are placed on molars and premolars of children, but can also be used on adults.
It is recommended that patients are seen for a dental cleaning at least two to four times a year, depending on overall oral health. Our goal is to provide each of our patients with a superior level of care and the most thorough treatment.
Visit our contact page for questions regarding dental cleanings, or to schedule an appointment with the San Antonio teeth cleaning experts. We look forward to hearing from you!

Published January 01 2018
By Alexander Wallroth & Volker Haucke
The study of phosphoinositides, or PIs, has been in vogue for some time, as this minor class of short-lived membrane phospholipids regulates many of a eukaryotic cell's physiological functions, including cell polarity, cytoskeletal dynamics, and membrane traffic and signaling. Recent data reveal a mechanism based on local PI generation that couples cell signaling to cellular nutrient status (1).
Different PIs display distinct subcellular distributions, with PI 3-phosphates such as phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, or PI(3)P, and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosph ate, or PI(3,5)P2, being found predominantly within early and late endosomes or lysosomes. The lysosome, via the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1, or mTORC1, acts as a central metabolic control hub that integrates extracellular growth factor signals with the cellular nutrient and energy status to direct the cell into either an anabolic or a catabolic state (2,3).
Disruptions in mTORC1-mediated lysosomal signaling are implicated in diseases such as diabetes, cancer and neurodegeneration. Lysosomal mTORC1 activity depends on growth factor signals that trigger the class I-PI3K-mediated synthesis of plasma membrane PI(3,4,5)P3, which stimulates mTORC1 via its effector Akt (2,3).
Researchers now have uncovered control mechanisms elicited by local PI signals at late endosomes/lysosomes that integrate lysosomal mTORC1 activity with cellular nutrient status. Growth-factor deprivation causes the late endosomal/lysosomal recruitment of class II PI3Kbeta, which locally produces a late endosomal/lysosomal pool of phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate, or PI(3,4)P2, that suppresses mTORC1 activity (1). How exactly such suppression occurs is only partly understood, but one important element appears to be the recruitment of inhibitory 14-3-3 proteins to the mTORC1 subunit Raptor by local PI(3,4)P2 (1).
These findings are surprising given the established function of plasma membrane PI(3,4)P2 synthesized downstream of class I-PI3Ks in the activation of mTORC1 via Akt in growth factor-activated cells. These findings suggest a model whereby local PI switches at late endosomes/lysosomes sense and control cellular nutrient status to regulate mTORC1 activity (1). Consistent with this, late endosomal PI(3)P (4) and PI(3,5)P2 have been shown to activate mTORC1 locally — for example, by association of PI(3,5)P2 with the Raptor subunit of mTORC1(5) — under conditions of ample growth factor and nutrient supply.
As always in a fast-moving field, many open questions remain. For example, recent studies have revealed a surprising, though mechanistically poorly understood, link between lysosome position and nutrient signaling via mTORC1. Peripheral lysosomes display elevated mTORC1 activity compared with perinuclear lysosomes (6). How local pools of PI(3)P or PI(3,4)P2 couple lysosome position to the activity status of mTORC1 is essentially unknown. One possibility is that some of the factors that control lysosome position and/or mTORC1 signaling are regulated by the local PI content. PIs also may modulate the association of mTORC1 components with the lysosomal transport machinery. For example, PIs might regulate the recently described interaction between the Arl8-activating BLOC1-related complex and the mTORC1-associated Ragulator/LAMTOR complex (7).
Interestingly, PI(3)P synthesis by the class III PI3K Vps34 has been shown to facilitate the recruitment of the kinesin-1 adaptor FYCO1 to late endosomes/lysosomes (4). How the resulting dispersion of late endosomes/lysosomes to the cell periphery then causes elevated mTORC1 signaling is unclear. As lysosomes contain a variety of other PI lipids, including PI(4)P and PI(4,5)P2, further unanswered questions are whether and how these lipid pools may be subject to nutrient regulation or, conversely, contribute to the coupling of lysosome function and position to nutrient signals.
We thus face exciting times for lipid biochemistry, as lipids have taken center stage in many aspects of cell physiology. Understanding how local lipid signals sense and control cellular nutrient status at distinct subcellular locations will remain an important area for future studies.

Snowy Owl Photobombs Traffic Camera
A highway traffic camera in Montreal got quite the surprise when a snowy owl swooped across the screen.
Quebec Transport Minister Robert Poetin shared shots from the feathered encounter on Twitter, writing, "Magnificent snowy owl captured by road network surveillance cameras on A-40 in West MTL."
According to McGill Bird Observatory Director Barbara Frei, Montreal's own Hedwig was likely looking for a perch while hunting.
"I think they are attracted specifically to the highway because it has open, grassy fields nearby which is perfect for hunting their favourite prey, which is small rodents," Frei tells CBC. "They like to get a good lay of the land and the high lamp posts or other posts that they can perch on while hunting just suits them perfectly."

Talented Phoenix Flames Cheerleaders have just broken into the world's top 10 – after finishing ninth in the finals in Florida.
The Eaglesham and East Kilbride based club qualified for the world finals for a fourth consecutive year.
They've continued to improve each year, finishing 15th in 2015, 12th in 2016, 11th in 2017 – and now ninth in 2018.
The team – made up of girls who attend Mearns Castle High School and East Kilbride schools Duncanrig High and Calderglen High – travelled to Florida on Wednesday, April 25.
They then had three days of training at Spotlight Dance Studio on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
On the Friday evening, they also had a chance to dance on the World's stage in preparation for their section of the World Finals on the Saturday.
The Elite team – which has three coaches and eight members – enjoyed tremendous support from the rest of the club, who participated in a range of fundraising events to help finance their trip to Florida.

Frequently Asked Questions
Broken or cracked iPhone screens are something we deal with on a daily basis, and we know how much you need your phone back in working condition so we try to get it done as fast as possible. Generally it takes us half an hour, but this is not a guarantee and we may take longer. If your housing is dented or broken, this may need to be replaced as well, which is a tedious process, especially for the newer iPhone 5/5S/5C models. Additional charges apply, so be sure to inquire or just bring your phone in.
If you can't hold a charge, or even get a little bit of juice, we have several solutions we could try. The simplest would be a new charging cable. If this solves the problem, we do sell them, however if not we'll generally put in a new battery as a second option. As a final attempt, we can remove the charging port and replace it with a new OEM part which from our experience generally does the trick. If it doesn't you may be looking at a water damage issue which is a bit different and may make your phone a lost cause.
We know there are tons of low quality, fly by night iPhone repair options here in Winnipeg, so we've gone out of our way to make sure we source the highest quality parts and offer the best service and warranty. While it's literally impossible to get 'original' parts (Apple has trademarks and factories cannot sell anything as original) the parts our technicians install are backed by an iron-clad 60 day warranty.

Dear Mr Goh,
My name is Johnny.
I'm having a dispute at the moment with my employer regarding my training bond agreement which I have to pay when I breached the contract. Mr Chandra, my neighbour has recommended me to you.
I recently made the decision to leave because I was forced to.
It all started when I had a Italian manager from England. He had so many problems with us and the team can't take it.
As I was there on my assignment, I reached out to my ops manager and ops executive for advice.
After hearing me out, they asked me to write a letter and get people who agree to sign and then submit it to the management. In the end, I'm punished for doing that and my ops manager has since return to England.
90% of my head office are all foreigners.
They work together as a "team" and are trying to break our rice bowl. I was eventually given an option to leave if I felt that the company is not suitable for me or stay and prove that I can deliver.
This was delivered to me by my Taiwanese ops manager.
After considering for a month, I decided to take my leave but I won't pay a single cent for my bond.
The level of stress and depression they have given me because of this is not worth it. Till today, they still say that I have to answer to my wrong doing.
But I was advised wrongly – by a management member – should I be punished for it?
Now I understand that they want to take legal action against me. I will need to seek legal advice too.
Please help and advice me.
Yours sincerely,
Editor's note: we have forwarded the mail to our legal advisor. Note also that the middle management jobs all go to foreigners. If you do not want your children to work under foreign imports, you know what to do during the next election.

The calamity that abrupted the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election Thursday shook the nation to its core, leaving experts baffled and in anticipation of what is yet to come.
On Joy News' Newsfile Saturday, Clara Beeri Kasser-Tee, a lawyer at Kasser Law Firm and lecturer at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration, condemned the violence and questioned the country's direction moving into the 2020 general elections.
"Ghana is considered the bright shining star of Africa. We go by rule of law. So what is happening? Are we becoming a war-torn country?" Kasser-Tee questioned.
Clara Beeri Kasser-Tee, lawyer at Kasser Law Firm and lecturer at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration
Days after the attacks, Emanuel Akwetey, Executive Director of the Institute For Democratic Governance is "still surprised and trying to understand what led to this." He said he is holding the authorities accountable to hold a swift and comprehensive investigation.
"All I hear is that the police is investigating," he told the show's host, Samson Lardy. "What happened [Thursday] needs to be investigated speedily and thoroughly."
He further raised points in regards to the country's national security. He explained that during election season, the National Security Task Force has command over everything that happens. But the task force's role in the attacks Thursday raises questions, he said.
Emanuel Akwetey, Executive Director of the Institute For Democratic Governance
"How do we identify them? Are they badged?" he probed. "There should be way to determine whether someone works for national security or not."
Budu Koomson, CEO of Nexus Consulting agrees and expressed disdain about what transpired during the by-election. "It turned into a war zone," Koomson asserted.

He reemphasized Akwetey's comments adding that a committee should be created to come out with in-depth investigation results. Actionable intelligence has revealed that there were scores of weapons, ammunition and personnel involved in the brutal attacks, he said. "There is a lot of evidence that can be gathered from gun powder and bullet residue, and there is a lot of footage." There is no reason why the investigations should be delayed, he added.

Just hours into the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election at the La Bawalashie Presby polling station Thursday, Joy News confirmed that shots had been fired at the station. Photos obtained by Myjoyonline purported to show blood stains and bullet holes at the station's grounds.
According to Joy News' Roland Walker, several dozen security detail wearing black masks and shirts labelled "NSC" (National Security Council). The men stormed inside the polling station and began firing shots lasting 20 minutes. Police intervened as the personnel attacked what was suspected to be NDC activists.
Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, told Daniel Dadzie on the Super Morning Show Thursday that several people died and were injured.
Moments before, Member of Parliament for Prampram, Sam Dzata George, posted online that he had just been assaulted by several members of the NPP Invicible Forces. He claimed that they, too, were wearing shirts labelled "NSC."
"[George] is traumatized. When I went to his home he was in the bedroom and couldn't even move. I don't understand why people would do this," Ofosu-Ampofo said.
Following the shootout, Myjoyonline.com confirmed that the NDC decided to pull out of the by-election, an election that Lydia Alhassan won. Alhassan snatched 68.8% of the total votes after the Electoral Commission (EC) finished its collation.
But before she clinched the nomination, the National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, told Joy FM Thursday that the party chose to withdraw from the elections for security reasons.
"Armed security men besieged our candidate's home and we can no longer guarantee the security of our people and our polling agents," he said at the time.

Contact Erin at (530) 559-1602 or email@example.com to schedule your sessions.
What we do depends on you, your horse (or your lesson horse), your goals, the weather, and other factors — but may include activities such as:

- Crossing tarps, seasonal creek, water obstacles
- Narrow spaces, such as between trees or barrels
- Managing speeds and gaits
- Developing confidence in the front, middle, and back of the line
- Developing spatial awareness
Each lesson includes working with the horse on the ground. It may or may not include riding, depending on the various factors involved. (For example, if your horse is two, he's ready for trail prep but not ready for riding! And some things are better worked out on the ground first before attempting them in the saddle.)
Contact Erin at (530) 559-1602 or email@example.com to discuss the possibilities and to make arrangements.

Napoli will welcome Torino to the Stadio San Paolo on Sunday, needing to bounce back from last week's disappointing 3-0 defeat to Fiorentina - a loss which cancelled out their previous impressive 1-0 victory against table-toppers Juventus.
I Ciucciarelli are currently in 2nd place and have four points less than Juve, who are set to face Bologna in Turin on Saturday evening. With just three games left of the season - and with I Bianconeri still needing to play Milan and Roma - Maurizio Sarri's side will need a minimum of three points on Sunday.
The @SerieA_TIM title race continues 🙌 @juventusfc are now heavy favorites to win a 7th straight Scudetto.#SerieA #JuveBologna #NapoliTorino pic.twitter.com/bSZvuwQpJw— beIN SPORTS (@beINSPORTS) May 4, 2018
The 10th-placed visitors have nothing to play having already preserved their Serie A status, although, they have endured a slump in form with no wins in any of their last four league fixtures.
Classic Encounter
Napoli have welcomed Torino to Naples on 72 occasions. 65 of those meetings have been in the Serie A, two in the Serie B and five in the Coppa Italia. The Partenopei have won 28 of the fixtures, while Il Toro have won 13.
Napoli's last victory at home to Torino came all the way back in December 2016, in what was a classic encounter.
The fifth-placed hosts were fighting for a place in the Champions League while eighth-placed Torino weren't too far off a Europa League spot. Belgium international Dries Mertens handed them the perfect start when he drilled Jose Callejon's cut-back past Joe Hart, who was on loan from Manchester City at the time.

Things quickly went from bad to worse for the England stopper, when Mertens grabbed his second of the game from the penalty spot in the 13th minute. It took the former PSV striker just four more minutes to secure his hat-trick - and by doing so he became the first player since 1974 to score consecutive Serie A hat-tricks.
Torino did mount a mini-fightback in the second half. Andrea Belotti got one goal back for the visitors in the 58th minute, but former Spurs centre back Vlad Chiriches grabbed Napoli's fourth ten minutes later.
Luca Rossettini clawed another goal back for the away side in the 76th minute, before Mertens' sumptuous chip over Hart minutes later secured his fourth and Napoli's fifth of the game. Iago Falque restored some pride for I Granata from the penalty spot, but the game ended with hosts running out 5-3 victors.
Recent Form:
Recorded last six home & away games:
Napoli Home Form: WWWLWL
Napoli have the second best home record in the Serie A, behind table-toppers Juventus. Over the course of the season thus far, I Ciucciarelli have won 13 and lost just two of their 17 games at the Stadio San Paolo. The Neapolitan club have scored 39 goals (2.3 per game) at home - just one less than topscorers Juve, while they have conceded on 15 occasions at the other end (0.9 per game).
Torino Away Form: LDWLLD
Torino have the 10th best away record in the league with four wins and five losses from 17 games. Away from Turin, they have scored 21 goals (1.2 per game) and conceded 25 (1.5 per game).
Team News:
Napoli will be without centre back Kalidou Koulibaly due to suspension after he was sent off in their 3-0 defeat to Fiorentina. The Senegalese international is the only expected absentee for the hosts.
🎙#Mazzarri: "Ballottaggio Falque-Edera? Davanti ho molta scelta, valuterò anche in base alla freschezza"#NapoliTorino #SFT— Torino Football Club (@TorinoFC_1906) May 5, 2018
Torino could welcome back Cristian Ansaldi; although, centre back Emiliano Moretti will be missing Sunday's trip due to suspension.
Potential Napoli Starting Lineup: Reina, Hysaj, Albiol, Chiriches, Silva Duarte, , Frello Filho, Hamsik, Callejón, Mertens, Insigne
Potential Torino Starting Lineup: Sirigu, Bonifazi, Burdisso, N'Koulou, Molinaro, Baselli, Rincon, De Silvestri, Edera, Ljajic, Belotti
All the pressure will be on the hosts, but they should be beating their mid-table opposition.
Torino's defence - especially away from home - leaks goals, and Napoli, on the other hand, are the league's second top scorers. An early goal would do wonders to settle any potential nerves at the Stadio San Paolo, so expect Napoli to come flying out of the blocks.
Prediction: Napoli 3-0 Torino

In the last two posts, I have discussed why your credit score is important and what affects it. Now let's end with how you can improve your credit score.
How to improve your credit score
The best way to build a better credit rating is to use multiple credit cards once a month and pay ALL bills on time. Notice that this does not mean have a lot of debt nor running a balance and paying interest. If you do carry a credit card balance, ensure it does not exceed 25-30% of your credit limit.
- Pay down your credit card debt to lower your utilization percentage.
- If you are an excellent customer with one late payment, call your creditor and ask them to remove the late payment report. Sometimes they will for good customers.
- Ask your credit card issuer for a higher credit limit. This increases your score by lowering your credit utilization percentage.
- Review your credit reports and dispute any errors.
- Transfer balances to a new card. Opening a new card lowers your score in the short term by lowering your account length average. However, it increases your total number of accounts and available credit, and lowers your utilization percentage.
Poor or no credit score history
If you have poor or no credit history, the best way to develop or improve your credit score is to use a "secured" credit card. You pay a security deposit so it's easy to get approved for a secured card because the lender doesn't take any risk. Your credit limit is usually equal to your security deposit. If you fail to make payments, the secured credit card issuer uses your security deposit. Using your secured card responsibly and making ALL payments on time will gradually build up your credit rating over months or a couple of years. Once you have a good rating, you can use it to get regular credit cards and good rates on other loans.
It takes time to establish a record of responsible credit. If you are planning to take some of these steps to improve your credit score before applying for a loan, allow several months at least before seeing significant improvement.
Credit Score Scams
Beware of credit repair scams with guaranteed promises, extravagant claims, promises to remove negative but accurate information, unethical actions, and payment in advance. The Federal Trade Commission reports that they have never seen any of these extravagant claims work, but do receive plenty of complaints. For more information, see the FTC's webpage and free pamphlet: http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0058-credit-repair-how-help-yourself . Credit repair is something you can best do yourself for FREE with the steps listed here and some time to allow them to work.
Credit Score Monitoring Services
There are many credit monitoring services that will alert you to problems for a monthly fee. Here is a cheaper, more effective alternative. For a small fee, you can request the three credit bureaus "freeze" your credit which prevents anyone (including you) from opening new credit in your name. When you want to open new credit or loans, you would need to request your credit be unfrozen and pay a fee, but it's still cheaper than a monthly credit monitoring fee.
In the wake of the Experian data hacking scandal, Experian will offer free credit monitoring to you for free. In fact, this is the standard response after a hacking scandal. After Yahoo and so many others, everyone of us should be able to get this free deal from some hacked company. In light of this, let me end with a final piece of advice: don't store your credit card on any retailer's website as it seems just a matter of time before they are hacked, too.

The magic lantern was an early form of slide projector that was an early step on the road to the motion picture technology of today.
The magic lantern was invented in the 1600's, probably by Christiaan Huygens, a Dutch scientist. It was the earliest form of slide projector and has a long and fascinating history. The first magic lanterns were illuminated by candles, but as technology evolved they were lit by increasingly powerful means.
The name "magic lantern" comes from the experience of the early audiences who saw devils and angels mysteriously appear on the wall, as if by magic. Even in the earliest period, performances contained images that moved—created with moving pieces of glass.

Hollywood: Perhaps no other place on earth evokes the same air of show-business magic and glamour. The legend of Hollywood began in the early 20th century and is an earmark of modern American society rich in history and innovation.
The origin of movies and motion pictures began in the late 1800's, with the invention of "motion toys" designed to trick the eye into seeing an illusion of motion from a display of still frames in quick succession, such as the thaumatrope and the zoetrope. In 1872, Edward Muybridge created the first true "motion picture" by placing twelve cameras on a racetrack and rigging the cameras to capture shots in quick sequence as a horse crossed in front of their lenses.

Do you know what women want to know about men?
When a woman asks me to read her hands, I know she wants to know about her love life.
Hand analysis will tell you how compatible you are with any man
It gives you a method to make the relationship work... or to walk away.
Why do I sound so confident? Because I've changed the lives of my clients by an in-depth look at their character and that of their lovers.
Since I can't read the hands of every one of you... I wrote a book that comes with an original deck of cards, The Love Deck.
Read His Hands, Know His Heart
gives clear guidance and offers concrete advice for improving relationships — especially with your true love.
Using the lives of famous people, including celebrities, I show how and why you have a better chance of finding and keeping a true love.
Character may be destiny, but you can influence your own destiny... by understanding your character, and the characters of those you love.
There have been hundreds of university studies on human behavior as it's reflected in the hands.
I use hand reading to guide people to make better choices in life — with the focus on their close personal relationships.
When I ask a client if she has any questions, I know that her answer will be, "Will I find my true love?"
This site gets right to the heart of what I have learned and explains how I answer that question.

Hey. In 2015, a translated master file was published in a Russian social network in a group (TES Renewal). This community has not supported Morroblivion for many years. Recently, they completely excluded Morroblivion from the community. I decided to offer this translation to you. Because this translation is a lot of work. Perhaps it will still be needed by players from Russia. If you are ready to accept it, tell me.

What happens when we are forced to use only our olfactory when we visit a place? Will we experience the place differently? Of the human's five senses, the olfactory is the one sense most strongly associated with our memory. The olfactory cortex is embedded within the brain's limbic system and amygdala, where emotions are born and emotional memories stored. This means that the stronger we experience the smell of a place, the easier it is for the brain to pick up the memory again when we experience the same smell at a later time.
With this guide, I want the visitor to explore Kulturhuset Stadsteatern in a new way - through their olfactory. In this guide they find four selected locations to start off with. With eyes blindfolded and earplugs in, they were to describe what they smelled at the different places, then write it down on the form or in a app.
