Contemporary Fiction
A contemporary middle grade chapter book about confronting bullying and prejudice.
Danny Bigtree's family has moved to Brooklyn, New York, and he just can't seem to fit in at school. He's homesick for the Mohawk reservation, and the kids in his class tease him about being an Indian—the thing that makes Danny most proud. Can he find the courage to stand up for himself? Joseph Bruchac explores courage in the face of racism.
"A worthy, well-written novella." —Kirkus Reviews
"This appealing portrayal of a strong family offers an unromanticized view of Native American culture, and a history lesson about the Iroquois Confederacy; it also gives a subtle lesson in the meaning of daily courage." —Publishers Weekly
"With so many Native American stories set in the misty past, it's great to read a children's book about an Iroquois boy who lives in the city now. Bruchac weaves together the traditional and the realistic as Danny's ironworker father tells stories of his people's history and heroes, stories that give Danny courage to confront his schoolyard enemies and make friends with them." —Booklist

10-year-old Justice feels like the "man of the house" for his twin sister, Charity and their Mom. He would much rather be snowmobiling on his grandparents' reserve. It is there that he can leave the grimy city and the bullying kids of his neighbourhood.
When Charity is attacked by the school bullies, Justice decides to take matter into his own hands. When his plan to frame the ring-leader, Trey goes awry, Justice finds himself in more trouble than he bargained for.
A realistic look at life on the inner city streets for many kids: gangs, bullying and learning to fight for what you believe in. Through the help of his multi-generational family and his native heritage, Justice learns the importance of believing in your self and fighting for what you know is right.
"A gentle, positive and authentic tale."— Canadian Children's Book News, January 2010

It's spring break, and 14-year-old Hannah Anderson is glad to be spending it with the "Coast-Is-Clear" program - a group committed to cleaning Pacific Rim National Park's beaches of debris leftover from the tragic Japanese tsunami of 2011. Soon after Hannah arrives on the west coast, Jack, her raven sidekick, finds a small object washed up in the surf: a strange glass ball marked with a glowing Japanese character. Immediately, unusual things start to happen, beginning with the arrival of the mysterious "Kimiko," a Japanese girl with a secret past. Kimiko, it turns out, is a kitsune fox whose magic depends on the glass ball she lost in the tsunami. As Kimiko works alongside Hannah and the other members of her crew, she becomes increasingly unhappy with her life as an immortal kistsune and longs to join a family of humans. Can Hannah and her trickster raven help to make it happen?

Juggling soccer, school, friends and family leaves John with little time for anything else. But one day at the local community center, following the sound of drums, he stumbles into an Indigenous dance class. Before he knows what's happening, John finds himself stumbling through beginner classes with a bunch of little girls, skipping soccer practice and letting his other responsibilities slide. When he attends a pow wow and witnesses a powerful performance, he realizes that he wants to be a dancer more than anything. But the nearest class for boys is at the Native Cultural Center in the city, and he still hasn't told his family or friends about his new passion. If he wants to dance, he will have to stop hiding. Between the mocking of his teammates and the hostility of the boys in his dance class, John must find a way to balance and embrace both the Irish and Cree sides of his heritage.

Next week I will be heading over to Incom Gaming in Cheltenham for the Geno Five Two podcast's narrative Horus Heresy Event: Tarssis 4 – The Rise Of The Martyrs.
I have attended two of the previous events organised by Tom & Stu and they were both well run and great fun. This one has a slightly different theme as it is a Loyalist versus Traitors team doubles event using the 'Centurion' format promoted by the Eye of Horus podcast. Essentially, the idea is to focus on small point infantry games with only a few dreadnoughts or light vehicles each side in a style reminiscent of 2nd edition Rogue Trader Warhammer 40k.
I have slowly been turning my Burning of Prospero boxed set, supplemented by some leftovers from the Betrayal at Calth and bitz box leftovers into a small Iron Warriors force and so Tarssis will probably be the first outing for them:
The plastic Calth set Contemptor is a bit dull & static looking, but I chopped the legs & torso to reposition it slightly to make it a little bit more dynamic. The angle of the pic above does make it look a little awkward, but it does look better in RL – regardless it will have to do at the moment as I have no spare hobby funds to buy a new Forgeworld resin one for now!

Innovation is a word that gets tossed around a lot these days. But just because something is new, is it innovative?
We have always believed that true innovation is grounded in purpose. It has to solve real problems for real people. That's what we've been doing for the past 50 years – and that's what we're going to continue doing as the new Riskonnect.
Purposeful innovation is, after all, part of ClearSight's DNA, stretching all the way back to our Corporate Systems roots. More than five decades ago, founder and visionary Guyon Sanders was the first to use technology to help organizations prove to insurance carriers that they were a better risk than others in the industry – and therefore worthy of better rates. Organizations around the world continue to benefit from this purposeful innovation, now known as a RMIS.
Guyon's legacy will live on in the new Riskonnect. Our next chapter of innovation will give clients:
New capabilities. The combined company will give all clients access to ClearSight's popular claims administration software and other industry-leading RMIS technology. Clients also gain access to a whole new set of industry-leading integrated risk management capabilities like ERM and GRC.
New technology. The magic behind all those pioneering capabilities is technology – and what clients have today is just the beginning. Investment in new products, new releases, and new integration will keep us in the forefront of innovative solutions that help our clients constantly improve the way they understand, manage, and control risks.
New expertise. Deep industry experience has always been a hallmark of ClearSight – and it's about to get broader. Clients will be able to tap into the knowledge of the largest network of experts in industries like healthcare and transportation as well as specialized experts in fields like compliance and ERM.
No matter what name is on our door, our purpose is to help our clients do their jobs easier, faster, and more effectively. That's what has fueled our innovation in the past – and that's what will fuel our innovation in the future. Stay tuned.

Strengthening ISPOR Through Diversity
ISPOR's commitment to diversity begins with its strategic pillars and organizational values. One of the Society's core values is, "We promote diversity and inclusion in our membership and all endeavors.
ISPOR's Organizational Values
Diversity Is a Performance Issue
Diversity is not simply the right thing to do. Diversity is a performance issue. Research has demonstrated that diversity of all types improves performance.1 ISPOR believes that diversity will improve both the Society and the science of health economics and outcomes research (HEOR).
Diversity Dimensions
Since its inception, ISPOR has recognized the importance of diversity and has actively worked to improve diversity of all types. As a global, multistakeholder organization, ISPOR's diversity focus includes a variety of diversity dimensions, including (but not limited to) gender, career stage, ethnicity, race, education, sexual orientation, regional/geographic location, physical disability, religion, and more.
Diversity Policy and Initiatives
ISPOR's board of directors recently approved a diversity policy to formalize the Society's position on diversity. Diversity themes are currently incorporated into many ISPOR groups and initiatives, including the Society's:
- Strategic plan
- Governance initiatives
- Diversity policy
- Board of directors' code of conduct
- Code of ethics
- Chapter agreements
- Nominations committee standard operating procedures (SOPs) and guidelines
- Working group SOPs and guidelines
- Board of directors, councils, working groups, and staff
- Conference SOPs that encourage session speaker diversity
- Conference accommodations (eg, nursing mother rooms, prayer rooms, meal accommodations)
- New Professionals network
- Women in HEOR initiative
What You Can Do...
Lack of diversity is a deeply-rooted issue that spans the globe and is seen in virtually every area of life. Unconscious bias often exacerbates and perpetuates the problem. For this reason, no single, "simple solution" exists to address this pervasive issue.
ISPOR will do its part and more. The Society is committed to diversity in its leadership and all activities that reflects its exceptionally diverse global, multistakeholder membership. True change, however, requires more. True change requires the efforts of the HEOR community. ISPOR is committed to having a real impact and asks for the commitment of all members in the HEOR community to actively encourage diversity through:
Leaders Submitting Abstracts for Conferences
Non-plenary sessions at ISPOR conferences are generated through members' abstract submissions and undergo peer-review. Metrics on these submissions show that selection bias is not occurring; rather submitted abstracts are not reflecting appropriate diversity, most notably gender diversity. ISPOR strongly encourages diversity of speakers/panelists for submitted sessions and asks that leaders submitting abstracts:
- Consider diversity of all types in the composition of session speakers and panelists.
- Think hard before submitting an abstract for sessions that are composed of all men. Ask yourself, "Is/are there really no highly qualified woman/women who could serve as speaker/s and/or panelist/s?" We must all work to assure that the many expert women leaders in the field are included in the conversation through participation in conference sessions.
Conference Speakers and Panelists
- Strongly consider not participating in an all-male panel.
- If asked to speak or serve on a panel, ask about the session's diversity and:
- Consider participating only if it is a diverse panel.
- Offer to help invite highly qualified, diverse speakers before agreeing to participate.
Managers of People
- Recognize that unconscious bias exists in all human beings.
- Mentor and champion all of your talented employees. Help assure that all employees, including women and other diverse groups, achieve success and advance in their careers.
Women in HEOR
- Submit your abstracts to ISPOR conferences and to other conferences in the field.
- As noted above, non-plenary sessions often lack the desired diversity because members' submitted abstracts lack the desired diversity. Fewer women submit abstracts and also submit fewer numbers of abstracts than their male counterparts.
- ISPOR strongly encourages women in HEOR to submit their abstracts for issue panels and workshops.

Tri-Blade Saga - Academy of Everstar - Year 1
In a world very different than ours two girls from very different worlds come together to learn, to grow and to face challenges ahead of them. The world is about to change in ways they never saw coming, how will they rise to this challenge!
Hello everyone and welcome to the Academy of beast. I know many of you were and are a fan of the Darkness among us story. However, I will not be able to finish it anytime in the near future due to the loss of over half of the novel. So I am teamed back up with the co-Author of that story and we will bring you this new story, hopefully fast and furious so that you might enjoy it at your own leisure.
Lol name change? Trying to confuse me. I see how it is
(posted from the Item Information Page)
No, no. Not trying to confuse you advance war. The original title was the concept title and as the story moved on, the real title revealed itself to me. Like a nice set of beautiful tits. So the name changed. There is even cover art for this story. What I am really interested in is why there isn't any comments on this one yet. It's getting read for sure lol.
And actually Chapter 1 went through a Kind of heavy handed edit tweaking a lot of things.
Last edited by Wicked Storm (2016-03-30 17:17:45)
Sorry Wicked Storm, I was going to wait until I finished Chapter 2 then post my comment. But I don't see my opinion changing before I finish the last half of this chapter. I love it I think you have a fun cool story going here. Please keep it coming. This story kind of reminds me of another story that you were writing about a guy and a girl that was paired up together and shared the same room at the training grounds. I had it in my Bookmarks but lost it when the site had to be reset. I will have to go and find it, time to reread it. LOL
Good writing and good story line.
Thanks for sharing.
(posted from the Item Information Page)
Yes this is kind of an attempt at a reboot of that idea but taken a different way and with a different plot. ^_^ I am turning out chapters every week at the minimum for this series and they are hefty!
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your works hope you can get it all figgured back out good luck hope to read the rest in the future
(posted from the Item Information Page)
Well runkmaster, sometimes you learn that the work was good in premise but wanted to come out in another form. While I enjoyed writing Darkness Among Us when so long ago, it was never really meant to be posted as a book, more of a way of sharing some of the stuff that I did for fun. So Now The Academy of Everstar, or the Tri-Blade Saga as we are calling it now. It will have some of the idea's from that other story, but it will be it's own. It is moving along quite well if you ask me, and is now starting to show some more interesting moments in it. Chapter 6 took a little longer to write because of life, and you know, Skyrim. LOL! but It is finished now, and the first 1,000 words are down on chapter 7, hopefully to be written in short order.
Eagerly waiting for Chapter 7...
Chapter 7 hit some snags but it will be developing more words and words and words this coming week, so expect chapter 7 before the end of the month. Though as a note to all of my readers, chapter 6 actually marked Novel length. lol
Amazing!!!!! Love the story line. I just wish it was finished. Please continue. 😀
(posted from Chapter 6 - The first day Part 2)
We are muslcing are way through chapter 7 it is going to keep moving we promise. just not as fast as before.
Very nice story and yes i can not wait to see how the house works together and if they will getting anymore members. Eagerly waiting to see how the year goes for them and the pitfalls they most go through not only for them selves but for the tri-blades house as a whole
(posted from the Item Information Page)
As are we all, as are well. My two co-writers on this story have taken a break, and thus the story is on break because of that. However, if they don't come back by the time fall hits, I'll pick the story back up on my own. ^_^
Any news?
(posted from the Item Information Page)
None to report at this time, it's sitting there ready to be played with but sadly, still waiting on others to pick it back up. ^_^
Am I the only one waiting
Nope! you are not the only one.
What a great story so far!

Tinnitus prevention is better than treatment for tinnitus
Tinnitus causes go from repeated ringing and whistling, to humming clatter in your ears. Tinnitus prevention is as critical, or even more so, than tinnitus treatment. In this post, I am going to go over the common standard reasons behind tinnitus and then some natural remedies for tinnitus so you do not need to depend on threatening drugs. An importunate pointed sound frustrates you and not permits concentrating during conferences or you are feeling twitchy in the night. Suggestions of Tinnitus On occasion it might be tough to identify the precise root for tinnitus but some symptoms may help to diagnose it and commence with the treatment for tinnitus. They work where medicines fail by addressing the triggers and not the symptoms and will stop years of torture from ear ringing tinnitus swiftly.
The finest natural treatment for tinnitus is to simply get more sleep
Finding a tinnitus cure or cure can take a while, but after you know what's causing the ringing in your ears you can put a stop to it. Regardless of the cause is you can treat it and get relief from it. Firstly you have to find out what's causing it and this is a matter of elimination. The most important thing to realize is that you don't need to live with the torture this noise is causing you any more. One of the commonest factors behind tinnitus is repeated exposure to intense noises like something that you would find at a gig or a factory setting. Another thing you need to do is to make certain that you get lots of rest. This is a crucial most important step to curtail your tinnitus and get yourself on the trail to being tinnitus free. Tinnitus can basically be due to an absence of sleep, so one of the finest natural treatments for tinnitus is to simply get more sleep.
Nevertheless there are some natural treatments with which you can treat the tinnitus, cut back the noise and stop the ringing ears. The exposure to serious noise whether it could be thanks to the working on drilling machines or attending the concerts or clubs may give room to tinnitus condition. The old proverb prevention is always better than cure is always worth-following in regard of curing the tinnitus condition. wear earplugs when you're working in the loud environment.

Lightning strike cancels Cordova's weekend

This has been a year full of challenges for the new management team led by General Manager Bobbi Jo Cox at Cordova International Raceway in Cordova, Ill. Mother Nature has shown her bad side almost every weekend since opening for the season. They started racing in April and have yet to get in a full weekend.
Mother Nature dealt Cordova another blow between Monday and Tuesday. The storms that crossed the Midwest that day definitely packed a punch with tornadoes, hail, strong winds, torrential rain and lightning.
"We were sitting in the office Monday afternoon when lightning struck right outside our window – it scared us so badly! The whole office turned blue," said Office Manager, Brenda Stuart. "We had a feeling we weren't going to be very lucky with that lightning."
Along with losing some phone lines, electronic equipment and coolers, the entire racetrack timing system took a direct blow. Lightning struck the ground at CIR, where it continued through the timing system and entered the tower damaging several key components of the whole system.
"It was a gut-wrenching discovery," Cox said, "all the time and effort we've put into this facility this year – to have the timing system taken out by lightning was the worst feeling.
"We consulted with JJ Koehler at FSS Inc, Rod Cady at Cady Electric and Bob Brockmeyer at Compulink to see if there was any way possible to fix the timing before this weekend, but there's not. We finally have a good weekend weather-wise and we won't even be able to race. We're sorry to say that Cordova will not be open for racing on June 26-28. Friday Fun Night, Points Race #4, and the Battle of the High Schools have all been canceled for this weekend."
While plans have been underway to install the fiber system in early August, the injured timing system created an opening sooner to replace the current timing system with the new fiber optic system this coming week. IRG staff, along with FSS, Compulink, and Cady Electric will begin the install over this weekend and complete it in time for racing on July 3.

PARIS (Reuters) – French telecom stocks fell on Tuesday after British bank Barclays downgraded the sector.
Altice Europe slumped 5.9 percent, while Iliad fell 3.1 percent as Barclays cut its rating on those stocks to "underweight" and "equal weight" respectively, while Bouygues and Orange shares also retreated as after Barclays cut its price targets on those two stocks.
"After an irrational level of promotions in 2018 that brought market 'ROCE' (return on capital employed) to 5 percent, prolonged market repair is needed to protect the revenue base," wrote Barclays in a note.
"The competitive environment is improving since Q3 2018, yet sustained discipline is uncertain. In-market consolidation is the best option, we believe, but appears unlikely short-term," added Barclays.

If you're in IT, you're hearing about Ansible more and more lately. CIO calls it the DevOps "darling" for software automation, adding that Ansible "has come from nowhere to be the No. 1 choice for software automation in many organizations." StackShare lists more than 1,000 companies that use Ansible, including Intel, Evernote, and Hootsuite, and the Ansible blog says Apple and NASA have adopted it as well. So what exactly is Ansible, and why has it gained popularity so quickly? We'll delve into that here, and we'll also tell you a bit about why Ansible and Docker work so well together, and how to use Ansible in Docker. You'll get a glimpse of why the Ansible-Docker combination is so powerful. Let's get started!
Ansible is an open-source automation tool, or platform, used for IT tasks such as configuration management, application deployment, intraservice orchestration and provisioning. Automation is crucial these days, with IT environments that are too complex and often need to scale too quickly for system administrators and developers to keep up if they had to do everything manually. Automation simplifies complex tasks, not just making developers' jobs more manageable but allowing them to focus attention on other tasks that add value to an organization. In other words, it frees up time and increases efficiency. And Ansible, as noted above, is rapidly rising to the top in the world of automation tools. Let's look at some of the reasons for Ansible's popularity.
Configuration Management
Ansible is designed to be very simple, reliable and consistent for configuration management. If you're already in IT, you can get up and running with it very quickly. Ansible configurations are simple data descriptions of an infrastructure, and are both readable by humans and parsable by machines. All you need to start managing systems is a password or an SSH (Secure Socket Shell, a network protocol) key. An example of how easy Ansible makes configuration management: If you want to install an updated version of a certain type of software on all the machines in your enterprise, all you have to do is write out all the IP addresses of the nodes (also called remote hosts) and write an Ansible playbook to install it on all the nodes, then run the playbook from your control machine.
Ansible lets you quickly and easily deploy multitier apps. You won't need to write custom code to automate your systems; you just list the tasks needed to be done by writing a playbook, and Ansible will figure out how to get your systems to the state you want them to be in. In other words, you won't have to manually configure the applications on every machine. When you run a playbook from your control machine, Ansible uses SSH to communicate with the remote hosts and run all the commands (tasks).
As the name suggests, orchestration involves bringing different elements into a beautifully run whole operation—similar to the way a musical conductor brings the notes produced by all the different instruments into a cohesive musical work. For example, with application deployment, you need to manage not just the front-end and backend services but the databases, networks, storage and so on. You also need to make sure that all the tasks are handled in the proper order. Ansible uses automated workflows, provisioning and more to make orchestrating tasks easy. And once you've defined your infrastructure using the Ansible playbooks, you can use that same orchestration wherever you need to, thanks to the portability of Ansible playbooks.
As with application deployment, sitewide security policies (such as firewall rules or locking down users) can be implemented along with other automated processes. If you configure the security details on the control machine and run the associated playbook, all the remote hosts will automatically be updated with those details. That means you won't need to continually manually monitor each machine for security compliance. And for extra security, an admin's user ID and password aren't retrievable in plain text on Ansible.
The first step in automating your applications' life cycle is automating the provisioning of your infrastructure. With Ansible you can provision cloud platforms, virtualized hosts, network devices and bare-metal servers.
Now let's talk a bit about the pieces that make up the Ansible environment.
Modules are like small programs that Ansible pushes out from a control machine to all the nodes, or remote hosts. The modules are executed using playbooks (see below), and they control things such as services, packages and files. Ansible executes all the modules for installing updates or whatever the required task is, and then removes them when finished. Ansible provides more than 450 modules for common tasks.
As you probably already know from many other tools and platforms, plugins are extra pieces of code that augment functionality. Ansible comes with a number of its own plugins, but you can write your own as well. Action, cache and callback plugins are three examples.
All the machines you're using with Ansible (the control machine plus nodes) are listed in a single simple file, along with their IP addresses, databases, servers and so on. Once you list the inventory, you can assign variables to any of the hosts using a simple text file. You can also pull inventory from sources like EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud).
Ansible playbooks are like instruction manuals for tasks. They are simple files written in YAML, which stands for YAML Ain't Markup Language, a human-readable data serialization language. Playbooks are really at the heart of what makes Ansible so popular because they describe the tasks to be done easily and without the need for the user to know or remember any special syntax. Not only can they declare configurations, but they can orchestrate the steps of any manually ordered task, and can execute tasks at the same time or at different times.
Each playbook is composed of one or multiple plays, and the goal of a play is to map a group of hosts to well-defined roles, represented by tasks.
Various APIs (application programming interfaces) are available so you can extend Ansible's connection types (meaning more than just SSH for transport), callbacks and more.
Ansible Tower is Red Hat's commercial web-based solution for managing Ansible. Its best-known feature is an easy-to-use UI (user interface) for managing configurations and deployments, which is a big improvement over the original UI. Ansible Tower contains the most important features of Ansible, especially those that are easier to see in a graphical format rather than a text-based format. It is free for up to 10 nodes.
Ansible does a great job of automating Docker and operationalizing the process of building and deploying containers. If you're managing a traditional IT system, for example, it can be hard to add container-tooling functionality. But Ansible removes the need to do processes manually. There are four main advantages of using Ansible with Docker:
First, let's talk about what Docker is. Docker is a Linux-based open-source platform used to help automate the deployment of applications within software containers. (A container is a unit of software in which code and all of its dependencies are packaged together; setting up software this way helps an application run reliably and consistently in multiple computing environments.)
Now let's delve further into using Ansible with Docker. As mentioned, you can use Ansible to automate Docker and to build and deploy Docker containers. First, you'll need to have Docker SDK for Python installed. After you install the tools, examine the last Ansible rolebdd and then perform a deployment using the blue-green technique. Don't forget to test! Run both integration and stress tests, otherwise, your application may not run correctly. Make sure you have the newest version of the container, run the old application at the same time as the new one, run tests after deployment, do the notifying about the new release, redo the configuration to point to the new release, and then finally, stop the previous (old) release.
Once the application has passed all the tests and the configuration is set to the new application, here's how you get Ansible and Docker to work together. First, make sure you have Git, Vagrant and VirtualBox installed. Next, create a Vagrant file that has an Ubuntu virtual machine. Then run your Ansible playbook—this will install and configure everything. Then you can deploy your application. Remember that some of the components have to be downloaded, so this may add the time the first time you deploy.
Ansible has several modules for managing Docker; a few of these are docker_image, docker_container, and docker_service. Docker_image is used for building, loading or removing images and also for tagging and archiving images. Docker_container lets you create and destroy Docker containers, as well as start, stop and update them. Docker_service assists in starting, shutting down and scaling services. As updates are constantly being made to both Ansible and Docker, look for the most recent list of modules and their functions, along with system requirements and more, in the Ansible guide to working with Docker.
To sum up, using Ansible with Docker can greatly simplify your processes by allowing you to work with containers and to automate all that work! It's no wonder the Ansible-Docker combination is so popular. And learning how to use Ansible with Docker won't just benefit your organization; according to Payscale, the average salary of a developer with Ansible skills is $110,000 per year, and some developers earn even more. According to Dice, Ansible is the highest-paying DevOps skill.

Bearded Tooth (Hericium erinaceus)
Despite its somewhat neutral colouring, H. erinaceus is, by any standards, one of the most striking and beautiful of all woodland fungi.
It is a rare tooth fungus of dead or damaged hardwood trees in old woodland where it grows mainly on beech and oak. Its delicate pendent spines giving it the appearance of a waterfall frozen in time. It is confined mainly to southern England and eastern Wales. H. erinaceus is of conservation concern across its European range. It is listed as one of only four non-lichenised fungi on Schedule 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and is thereby accorded the highest level of protection for a fungus in the UK. It is a UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) priority species.

Days Passed Don't Return (video)
A short documentary about an encounter with an old man along the ancient pilgrims route of El Camino De Santiago, Spain(St. James' Way).

A short documentary about an encounter with an old man along the ancient pilgrims route of El Camino De Santiago, Spain(St. James' Way).
By Marcel Baaijens.
Duration 2:46 minutes.
Spanish with English subtitles
On the 9th September 2006 I headed for St. Jean Pied de Port, a small town in the French Pyrenees, to walk 764 km to Santiago De Compostella in western Spain. This walk is an ancient catholic pilgrimage walked by thousands for religious, spiritual and/or recreational reasons. I had 38 days to get there.
Walking that far is not quite recreation for me, neither am I a practicing catholic, but I did hope that walking 'El Camino' would somehow bring spiritual and transformational benefits. I had no idea what those benefits would be, if and how they would eventuate.
For the next 38 days I will publish one post each day about my experience of being on 'El Camino'. I will attempt to convey my experience using text and images of video stills and soft pastel drawings made during the 38 days that I was on my way to the bones of Saint James.
Marcel Baaijens
One day I was explaining a to a fellow traveller that I was about to venture out into the world on a journey that I had just called 'A Pilgrimage in Search of Self'. "Have you heard about a pilgrimage called 'El Camino De Santiago'?" she asked. "No", I said. "And I am not going on a religious pilgrimage", I added hastily. The next day, just as I was about to lie in the sun and listen to some music, my minds eye began to see what seemed like a dream yet I was fully awake and aware.
Still from video: Cathedral of Santiago, Spain
I saw myself walking towards the dark silhouette of huge church with three windows lit. A sense arose that I had arrived at a very sacred destination after a very long and difficult journey, and feelings of overwhelming awe, relief, privilege, sadness and letting go. The emotions triggered actual sobbing from the depth of my being just as a nightmare can make you sweat and scream. "How strange", I thought.
Still from video: Lourdes, France
The day after that, the 'daydream' was still puzzling me. I decided to check out the pilgrimage the fellow traveller mentioned. I vaguely remembered the name and searched the web. As a site opened with the image of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostella I could barely believe my eyes. The similarities between the image in my 'daydream' and the cathedral of Santiago were too close for comfort. The feelings I experienced during the 'daydream' immediately returned. I became aware of the pattern, took notice and I decided to accept the direction I received and begin my sabbatical with walking 764 km of El Camino de Santiago, The Way of St. James
Still from video: Sculpture of St.James along El Camino
I was raised in a catholic family, but I do not regard myself a catholic. If I look to a religion or philosophy for inspiration it is Buddhism rather than Christianity. Yet the more I thought about walking El Camino, the more appropriate it seemed to begin my 'journey' in the Pyrenees and walk to the bones of Santiago (Spanish for Saint James).
Still from video: Crypt where the bones of St. James are kept.
Saint James is one of the twelve apostles and a cousin of Jesus of Nazareth. It is said that he was buried in the north of Spain and that his bones are now resting in the crypt of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostella, Galicia, Spain. When his bones were rediscovered in medieval times it triggered a flood of pilgrims that never stopped. Albergues (inns) and hospitals for pilgrims were set up along the way to support the pilgrims.

I should know the answer to this but can I use my extra swap drive in another computer or are their issues within the hardware of different computers?
The simple answer is No.
Windows 7 is licensed for use on one computer. To enforce this it requires activating, a process that ties it to particular hardware. If you move it to another PC, even with identical hardware, it will require reactivating.
Now you may be able to do this once or twice, but rest assured that if you continued to swap the disk between PCs this pattern would be noticed. Almost certainly you would end up with a Windows 7 installation that wouldn't work on either PC.
Apparently the moral to the story is do not experiment with your computer for fear of corrupting your operating system, which only allows you to re-install a couple or unknow number of times....this sucks and should not be legal if you paid for your software. I have always l registered my software and will continue to. There should be an acommodation for users who like to try new software and tweak their operation system in an attempt to get better performance or as my hobby... I understand that Microsoft, Adobe and others cannot control far eastern and other countries that do not respect copyright laws of America, but hopefully they will not punish those who use their products.
Installing the same software on multiple computers is not "experimenting", "trying new software", or "tweaking the operating system in an attempt to get better performance". None of those is a problem. What is a problem is trying to run software that is licensed for only one computer on multiple computers.
The fact that piracy may be rife in other parts of the world is no excuse.
But, if you don't like this attitude on the part of Microsoft, no-one is forcing you to use their software. Install Linux, FreeBSD, or one of the other free operating systems and you may experiment to your heart's content.
I don't use my registered software on any other computer. My work load is such that I cannot afford to spend a day re-installing windows, and all the other software that I need for business use. Hence, the need for a BACKUP SWAP drive for my computer. I certainly get your point and agree with you 100% regarding misuse of a licensed software. But my question was regarding 2 harddrive used on the same computer....just to save time. I use Carbonite to backup my data but refuse to pay extra for their new service that will back up your system. Which reminds me that I have not created an updated recovery disk for Windows7. Thanks for your reply iJack...
"But my question was regarding 2 harddrive used on the same computer....just to save time."
In that case, I would have to say it was poorly phrased:
"Can You Install Windows7 On A Harddrive That Can Be Swapped?" and "can I use my extra swap drive in another computer or are their issues within the hardware of different computers?"
Forgive me if I misunderstood you.
Yes, you can use a hard drive that you have taken out of another computer as an additional data drive.
You are correct, my question was not what I intended. I am considering purchasing a new box, motherboard, the works and was asking if I could use my existing hard drive or the swap drive in the new computer. Once I finalize the installation the old box, motherboard, memory etc can be disposed of after writing 1's and zero's to the HD. Sorry for the confusion. I appreciate your indulgence and understanding...my brain is not what it used to be at 71...but I am almost as sharp as I used to be...ha.
Furthermore, my question really is, will a different motherboard accept the hard drive install of Windows from my motherboard? The next question I need to answer is, do will I benefit from the cost, probably 4 to 5 hundred for memory, etc from an upgrade at this time? I have read that Windows 8 is not that exciting nor much of an improvment from 7, it could be like going from XP to Vista...oh, no...
"my question really is, will a different motherboard accept the hard drive install of Windows from my motherboard?"
No, because the hardware is different.
"will I benefit from the cost, probably 4 to 5 hundred for memory, etc from an upgrade at this time?"
How would we know? Your specs are so poorly written it's difficult to know what you have. What is "Pent4 dual quad firstname.lastname@example.com"? If it's a quad, it's not a dual, & if it's a dual, it's not a Pentium4 OR a quad. And there is no Q950. Do you mean Core2 Quad Q9550? I know if I had that board & that CPU, I'd be running it at 3.4GHz at 1600MHz FSB.
We now seem to be coming back to the original question, so once again we have the licensing issue. The Windows from your current computer almost certainly wouldn't work on a new one because it is probably an OEM version. That means it is tied to the original hardware. But most new computers come with their own copy of Windows.
Don't apologize for your age - you only have a couple of years on me!
He really wants to try to outsmart MS and use an installed drive on a different system.
It has been said very clearly before by ijack. "The simple answer is No."
Rider said this "No, because the hardware is different."
While they said the basic answer they also kind of suggested it could be done. You do not have the means to do that I'd guess.
What a company might do is to have two copies of Windows 7 and they'd make a master copy or template of what they want. Then they'd deploy it to as many as they need. Each machine would have some final start up questions that would include the activation issue.
For you just get two disks or use a single server that holds common data.
Hang up and live.
I am not trying to outsmart anyone. I have used a copy of Windows7 on two drives for 1 computer and occasionally swap them out to update them just incase I have a problem. I am not violating the license as long as I only run one copy at a time on my own computer. It has taken the Software insustry all these years to come up with restore schemes and they are always behind the curve. Busineses don't have the time nor patience to spend so much time keeping their computers running with all the spyware, Trojans, and othe crap that we have to contend with.
I'm confused. This does not accord with what you said in #7.
Whatever, you have the answer. 1 computer, 2 disks - OK. 1 disk, 2 computers - not OK. (Talking about OS disk only.)
srloren this is how you should be doing this:
1. hardware raid with two drives in a mirror [raid1] if one drive dies you are still operational. The system sees the two drives as one so all files/updates are universal.
2. make a image of the drive and burn it to dvd. This will require you to have a third drive to use for the temporary storage of the image.
3. use and monitor the system restore points so if your system gets corrupted you can get back to a known good point
4. use ntbackup to backup your files. With a image you don't need to backup the OS.
Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
How to properly post a question:
Sorry no tech support via PM's
Hey Wanderer, you still around? I don't tend to monitor this site unless I am having problems. I have benefited from your posts and those from Tubesandwires, XPuser, and others. I appreciate your post. I am trying to decide if there is enough performance benefit by upgrading my system. While buying 2 drives to mirror raid is a bit more expensive, I believe you have cut to the chase regarding configuration and your advice will be taken seriously...its all a matter of how much money I intend to spend. I do get impatient sometimes in Photoshop....particularly when I have a deadline to contend with. Thanks again and nice to see you are still around and contributing. Very helpful indeed.
yes you can duplicate the hardrive that you have on your old computer and put it on another without any problems, just as long as you only use one computer.. you will not be breaking any microsoft agrrements..

I was able to get up to the Blue Mountains to the west of Sydney for an afternoon of bushwalking. I found a track at the back of Blaxland (which is just at the start of the Blue Mountains) to follow. It wasn't much of a track, but it was fun.
The tall trees as I wandered along the track.
The track is here somewhere..
The beautiful winter sunlight streaming through the trees.
After a while I found a track leading down a very steep path and I could hear a stream running below. It took a while to get down (and even longer to get back up), but it was a great spot at the bottom.
The stream and pool at the bottom was gorgeous in the afternoon light, reflecting off the hills in the background.
The stream filled with large boulders and rocks.
Soon it was time to head back up the track and home again.
I'll have to visit this spot again, and spend some more time wandering around.

English translation for Tsukuro is "Where the moon arrives over the water." Tsukuro is all the rave on Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., where flip flop meets high end décor. The restaurant serves Asian inspired dishes in a very sexy chill décor that took a page from it's not so far sibling city of South Miami Beach.
On a recent impromptu trip down south I ventured onto South Beach for some light lunch only to be confronted by lanes of construction after construction. What are they doing down there, rebuilding the whole South Beach? Frustrated and hungry, I elected to pull onto Fort Lauderdale Beach. You can't really go down South and not dine on the Beach. Knowing very well that there are or dare I say were slim pickings on Fort Lauderdale Beach, I made the trip with high hopes.
To my utter surprise, there are some major changes to Fort Lauderdale Beach. Back in the days when I worked at one of the beach hotels, there were just a handful of restaurants. Most of them catered to the sun soaked, bikini clad, booze drenched crowd. Now there are famed hotels and finer restaurants that grace the beach.
As I cruised up the beach, Tsukuro caught my eye. At a fleeting glance this could be mistaken for a night club. Led lights with extremely high ceiling, black on grey, with pops of orange and striking strands is a feast in itself. There is a raw bar, sushi bar and the menu features Global cuisine with heavy Asian influence. Items are served as small plates meant for sharing.
This trio showed up the minute we sat down. Light Kimchi cabbage, Wasabi flavored edamame and pickled vegetable. A very nice palate opener.
Riceless – Daikon wrapped tuna, salmon and avocado. Very good combination, textures and flavors marry well together. Very clever use of picks, not only does it make a very cool presentation, but it serves a practical purpose of holding the roll together. Have you ever tried picking up a cucumber wrapped roll with chop sticks? Then, you know exactly what I mean.
Chef's Choice Bento Box – This changes seasonal. Korean BBQ Ribs, Grilled Shrimp, Veggies, Chicken Taquitos and Fried rice. This is a welcomed distance from the traditional bento box presentation. Flavors and textures were all there. However, the plating could use a wipe down before making tableside. What is the point of good food and presentation, when the vessels are soiled with sauces and drippings?
Oyster Po Boy – Lightly battered so as not to overpower the oyster. Oyster was ever so lightly cooked. Very nicely done.
The menu in this restaurant seems to cater for a wide range of palates. Although there is a full sushi bar, the offerings are limited. However, the raw bar, small plates and big plates more than make up for ample selections.
I am and will always be baffled by establishments that force consumers to add 15% gratuity to their bills. So if your service was less than stellar I still have to tip you 15%? I am fully aware that servers make minimum wage and they live on tips. Normally, I am a 20% tipper for good service, more for above and beyond and at least 18% for crappy service. I know you are saying that is just me. I just happen to know what servers walk out with at the end of the night after tipping out everyone on the team.
The whole idea of a tip is for services rendered. So if the tip is built in, why would the server work? Oh yea, I get that South Florida being a global destination, people from overseas don't really tip as much. That is a myth, because everyone who visits from outside of the US fully understands the US tip system. Take off this mandatory 15% tip and let service staff actually deliver service. Chances are they may actually make more money.
Since this place has sidewalk seating, they allow dogs. Not so much for most of Fort Lauderdale Beachside sidewalk or Beach Place public areas. What kind of rule is that? So I can bring my pooch, walk on the western side of Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, not cross over to the beach side, not go into Beach Place, but I can sit at restaurants with sidewalk seating. Wait, I can park at Beach Place parking garage with my dog in the car but not walk through Beach Place itself, I must walk on the side street. Who comes up with these ridiculous rules? Needless to say, I will think and rethink before going out here again.
Tsukuro has definitely filled a void in the social beach scene. There are stuffier places with more classic menu and décor. Then there are the classic beer guzzling and watered down frozen drinks holes.Now Tsukuro can cater for the hip gorgeous people who want a more elegant and sophisticated surrounding but still be casually cool.

How Turret Chief and L. C. Waldo Were Dashed on the Rocks -- The Crews Almost Fozen, Were for Many Hours Without Food or Shelter
(Special Despatch to The Globe.)
Calumet, Mich., Nov. 11 -- Loss to shipping on Lake Superior occasioned by the gale which blew from Friday till to-day will be close to a million dollars, according to the reports coming in from every side. Two and perhaps three ships are total losses, while heavy damage was sustained by many others.
The L. C. Waldo is a total loss on Gull Rock, Manitou Island, and the Turret Chief is a total loss six miles east of Copper Harbor. Another boat, name unknown is reported a total loss on Angus Island, near Isle Royale. The latter report is not confirmed.
Capt. Paddington of the Turret Chief, a steel-built boat, which is owned by the Canadian Lake & Ocean Transportation Company and is in the service of the Merchant's Mutual Line of Toronto, to-night told a graphic story of the wreck of his ship. He reached here to-night with his crew, coming by railroad from Mandan.
May Be a Total Loss
Capt. Paddington says the bottom is scraped from his boat, and that she is probably a total loss. Unless something can be done to take her off this fall, the winter's ice will crush her like an egg-shell. [Her] loss is a hundred thousand.
The Turret Chief was 110 miles northwest by west of Whitefish Point when struck by the storm Friday afternoon. She was bound from Midland, Ont., for Fort William. Being light she drifted rapidly before the heavy wind, and although Captain and crew believed her well up the centre of the lake, she became unmanageable before the gale and struck Keweenaw Point at 4 o'clock Saturday morning, the great waves lifting her far up on the rocks, where she partially careened when the sea went down. She is entirely out of the water.
The members of the crew, seventeen in number, managed to leave the boat Saturday afternoon after terrible experiences in the surf, and camped all night and Sunday in a hut they erected of driftwood on the shore. They wandered through the woods, half frozen and exhausted, and finally, directed by trappers, reached Mandan yesterday morning after being without food or shelter for 48 hours.
The crew left for Toronto to-night. The crews show evidences of their exposure in pinched faces and emaciated frames. Trappers fed them and furnished clothing for those who escaped without their clothing. None saved their effects and Geo. R. [ ]ton had to wire to Toronto for transportation home.
Second Mate Bowman and one man [ p. 2 ] have been left at the boat temporarily. The plight of the Turret Chief was not known till her crew reached Mandan to-day. The Turret Chief, is a steel boat, 257 feet in length, first build for trade in the Baltic Sea.
Ninety Hours Without Any Food or Shelter
Capt. J. W. Duddleson and members of his crew of twenty-six men and two women, who were rescued from the forward half of their steamer, the L. C. Waldo, on Manitou Island to-day, also told a terrible tale of hardship and suffering. They were without food or shelter for ninety hours until they were rescued by the Portage life-saving crew and the tug Hebard. The Waldo struck Gull Rock at 8 o'clock Saturday morning and broke in two, her masts, stack and cabins being smashed off, by the great seas. She was bound down from Two Harbors to Erie with iron ore and was struck by the storm seventy-five miles west of Keweenaw Point at midnight Friday. The pilot house and cabins were torn off by the mountainous waves which poured upon the ship, carrying compasses and all but the auxiliary steering gear, and putting the lighting equipment out of commission, after which a course was steered by a pocket compass lighted by a lantern.
Vain attempt at Rescue.
Capt. Duddleson had little idea of his location when he heard surf beating on Gull Rock and Manitou, his ship bearing directly towards the rocks. After battling in vain for leeway for eighteen hours, driven by the seventy-mile gale, he attempted to make the passage between Gull Rock and the island, but struck, the heavily laden steamer breaking immediately. Member of the crew were forced to lash themselves to stanchions and the hatch covers to save their lives. The steamer Stephenson was sighted Saturday afternoon attempting to come to the aid of the Waldo, but after fighting wind and wave for seven and a half hours had to give up and run for shelter.
The Waldo was built in West Bay City in 1896 for Robey Transportation Company of Detroit. She is 451 1/2 feet in length, valued at three hundred thousand.
The Huronic None the Worse.
Sault Ste. Marie. Nov. 11.--The Northern Navigation Company's steamer Huronic, Capt. Campbell, which was stranded on the sands at Shelldrake, was successfully floated to-day, and passed down through the Soo at six o'clock this evening, apparently none the worse for the experiences of the trip, which mariners all agree, has been one of the worst storms that has swept Lake Superior for some time.
Failed to Find Wreck on Angus Island
Fort William, Ont., Nov. 11.--Immediately on receipt of the advice of Captain Foot of the steamship Hammonic that he had sighted what he took to be the steel freighter Leafield on the rocks at Angus Island., the steam tug J. T. Horn was despatched to the scene of the disaster. The tug arrived back in port late last night with the information that no vessel was aground on the island other than the old hull of the Monkshaven, which was wrecked some years ago. The supposition is that Captain Foote had either mistaken the old wrecked hull for the Leafield, or if a vessel had been wrecked there she had slid off into deep water and sunk. The Leafield was loaded with steel rails for the Canadian Pacific Railway. She is several days overdue.
A U.S. Lightship Lost; Steamer Grammer Ashore
Buffalo, Nov. 11. -- Fragments of wreckage tossed ashore along many miles of lakefront to-day confirmed the fear that the storm which lashed Lake Erie on Sunday and Monday had claimed its tool of death. Six men perished when Lightship No. 82 was torn from her anchorage fifteen miles up the lake, and either foundered or was shattered on the breakwall under cover of the blinding snowstorm on Monday. At Lorrain, Ohio, the steamer G. J. Grammer, under command of Captain Burns of Buffalo, is hard ashore and in a dangerous position. Life savers are standing by, but are unable to take off the crew because of the heavy seas. She is a freighter 418 feet long, and was built at Superior, Wis., in 1902.
The crew lost with Lightship No. 82 consisted of six men, as follows: Captain Hugh M. Williams of Manistee, Mich.; Andrew Leahy, mate, Elyria, Ohio; Charles Butler, engineer, Buffalo; Cornelius Leahy, assistant engineer, Conneaut, Ohio; Peter Mackey, cook, Buffalo; William Jensen, seaman, Muskegon, Mich.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of talking therapy which can be used to treat people with a wide range of mental health problems. CBT is based on the idea that how we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion) and how we act (behavior) all interact together.
Cognitive behavioural therapy can help you better deal with your problems by teaching you to change the way you think and act out. While CBT will not cure your problems, it gently trains you to nudge your thoughts into a more controlled direction. When faced with the same stressful situation the next time, your CBT training will let you respond in a more positive and productive manner.
CBT can help with depression, anxiety, and a wide range of other problems. CBT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on how a person's thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes affect their feelings and behaviors. Control your thoughts, and improve the way you feel when you are overwhelmed or stressed or give in to negativity and it will affect all your life until you are trapped in a vicious cycle.
Here is a simple video to introduce you to CBT :

This newly designed boomerang coffee table is able for its new home! Perfect size for a smaller space. The dimensions are approx. 24″ long x 24″ wide x 18.75″ tall. The hairpin legs are produced from full ½" stainless steel bar. The table top is finished with three coats of satin varnish to give protection to the bamboo at the same time as letting the wonderful thing about the grain show through. The table top is produced from 4-6 year old moso bamboo with a vertical grain core and horizontal grain at the faces. Because grain and the carbonization process (heating the sugars in the bamboo to make it darker) varies, plus our display screen resolutions, the table is also a little lighter or darker than the pictures. Got some other shape, style, or size in mind? I'd love to work with you on a custom commission. I have done many unique shapes in solid walnut, and in bamboo. Material and shape choices are limited only by your imagination.

How to become a successful artist manager
The world of artist management is a tricky environment for individuals who lack courage, ambition, and self-sacrifice. To become a successful talent manager you need to work hard and maximize every opportunity you get to advertise your artists. You must also be aware that once you represent an entertainer, you become responsible for that individual's career and, in some cases, even of his personal life. This important aspect of the entertainment industry means that you will become the second, third or even tenth priority in your life. Here are some tips that will help you achieve success in this business:
Scouting is essential
Talented artists do not just appear out of the blue. Even the most surprising newcomers to the music industry have been scouted by talent managers for years before making their first appearance in the mainstream media. If you want to make a difference as an artist manager, you have to start from the bottom and scout for talents in the underground scene. You only need to produce one successful act before artists come knocking at your door looking for representation.
Two types of artist guidance
There are two essential ways of guiding an artist's career. You either use the "iron-fist" method to lay down strict rules for every public appearance, or you let them venture into the entertainment jungle and let the environment mold them. In both cases, you must have a consistent approach to reach the goals you have imposed at the start.
Know when to let go
Every artist has its unique, personal evolution. The music industry is regulated by the "rise and fall" of the entertainer. This private law applies to all artists, and it marks their rags to riches, and back to rags journey. There are very few performers who manage to be successful throughout their entire careers. You need to know when the dramatic decline requires a different managerial approach or even an abrupt ending to your contractual relationship.

A forum in Skopje next week will focus on media in South East Europe
The South East Europe Media Forum, organized by the South East Europe Media Organization (SEEMO) with the support of UNESCO, will take place in Skopje, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, on 16 and 17 October 2014. Renowned international and regional media experts will contribute to the debates of this regional conference, which will focus on the issue: "The media in South East Europe: Not enough or too much information?"
The event will provide a forum for discussion and exchange of experiences between international and national media practitioners and experts, civil society representatives, academics and representatives of state institutions from South-East Europe. Topics will include the right to access information, data journalism, privacy and the protection of journalists' sources, self-regulation and standards of quality reporting. Within this forum, SEEMO will present their prestigious Investigative Journalism Award.
Prior to the Forum, UNESCO, together with the Macedonian Institute for Media, will organize an event to present the new press council in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and discuss the perspectives and challenges for this media self-regulation organization, the youngest in the region.
These activities are organized in partnership with a number of international, regional and local partners, including the European Union, South East European Network for Professionalization of Media (SEENPM), Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, the Central European Initiative, the Macedonian Institute for Media and others.
