I recently reached out on my Instagram (@LiamXavier95) and asked for any writing advice questions so I could answer them in full here!... It worked better in theory than in practice, but we did get one question! (shout out to you) and it's a cracker: "How Do I Write When I Work So Much?!". It's … Continue reading How Do I Write When I Work So Much?! | Writing Advice
Stop Being Afraid To Write What Happened | Writing Advice
Should we really write so personally? All these examples of poetry, novels, blogs and plays that are so heavily grounded in a real-life situation, should we really be so open? Absolutely! With a few important side-notes and a powerful fearlessness, being so honest and open not only heals us, but it has the potential to … Continue reading Stop Being Afraid To Write What Happened | Writing Advice
Freya Ridings | Album Review
It must have been around about 2017 when I first heard Freya Ridings. I was working in JD Sports in Colchester and it was added to the playlist. Every now and again they'd chose a slower song to switch things up. The song at the time was Blackout. This memorable, piano-driven melody, ghostly in essence. … Continue reading Freya Ridings | Album Review
Chance The Rapper is Back with 'The Big Day' | Album Review
After what seemed like an endless tease all day, Chance The Rappers much-awaited debut album 'The Big Day' dropped. It's really strange to say 'Debut' being that Chance's mixtapes over such a long period of success have felt like albums in themselves, but The Big Day is arguably his strongest and certainly his largest release … Continue reading Chance The Rapper is Back with 'The Big Day' | Album Review

Conversations With Friends – Sally Rooney | A Book Review
I must admit, when I opened the book and noticed the lack of quotation marks when it came to the characters dialogue, it completely threw me. What threw me more, however, was how easily I could still distinguish paragraph from dialogue as if the quotation marks were there the whole time. There's not much to … Continue reading Conversations With Friends – Sally Rooney | A Book Review
Some Kind of Wonderful – Giovanna Fletcher| A Book Review
After finishing Dream A Little Dream (2015), I noted that reading Giovanna Fletcher's writing was like having a chat with an old friend. This is still true and, perhaps, has evolved in the tone and narrative in Some Kind of Wonderful (2017). When we begin to read a book, we want to be able to … Continue reading Some Kind of Wonderful – Giovanna Fletcher| A Book Review

Day 033: Anjali in a dress—dinner and dancing
09/04/07 07:38 PM Filed in: Vienna
Vienna 1971—A Student Journal
A year of music, study, travel, sightseeing & friends.
Day 33 — Anjali in a dress—dinner and dancing.
04-September-1971 (Sat.)
Our last big night together. First we went to the movies [English] Woody Allen's Bananas—hilarious. Satire on American things. Then we went back to get changed.
Went for dinner in an expensive restaurant. Not extremely fancy but good food. Anjali was a knockout. The first time I saw her in a dress—wow!
Then went to Volksgarten, where we danced to American rock music. Very expensive place, crowded, good band—we had a great time.
That night, we talked for a long time. We also "communicated" (as Anjali would say) quite a bit. I gave her my gifts, and she gave me one. Then I really felt sad because I knew she would be leaving. I think she felt the same way. She asked if I would ever go to Paris. I was hoping that I could. Then possibly we might be able to meet again. But she would probably be leaving that same summer, and I might not ever go, also. I knew that, most likely, we would never meet again, once she left. Went to bed 3:30 [a.m.].
A Woody Allen movie is always fun to see. Dinner and dancing rounded out the night. Anjali in a dress—wow! Looking back, I think that Anjali in a dress was the first time she presented herself as a young "woman" rather than a student. We danced and that was fun. She will be returning to her home in Paris in a few days.
Innocence. Our "communicating" simply meant kissing. We were innocent. Both of us were young, and I was a good guy. Just special, innocent times, spending the night talking. As mentioned, she lived in Paris and we discussed whether we could "hook up" [a term not in existence in 1971, except on aircraft carriers or trucking rigs] in Paris one day. On this day in 1971, writing in the journal, I don't know what the future will hold. (That's why they call it the future.) Looking back, I have 20-20 hindsight and can wonder "Why didn't you do or say this, or that?" At the time, you're not sure what is happening. This type of uncertainty about the future is typical of all of us when we're young. So, my advice to you is, don't worry. Things will generally work out. Life will go on.
Well, once again, you, the reader, will have to wait to the end of this year to see if I get to see Anjali again. (Suspenseful music crescendos.)
Back to today in the 21st century—1971 was the last century, holy cow!
I have a wife.
What does my wife think of all of this? When my wife came back from Europe a few weeks ago, I told her I started this blog about when I was 22, and a student in Europe. I said that she could read about all of my "girlfriends" at the time. She read the blog for just a bit (1 minute) and said, "That's fine." I could be a world-famous podcaster with hundreds-of-thousands of listeners and she might listen to one and say, "That's fine." Wives. (They would say, Husbands.)
What would Anjali, or the people mentioned in this blog think of this? Boy, at first I was a little nervous about doing this blog. What if Anjali's husband or children read this? Or my friends and other girls that I met think? I am hoping that everyone will put this retrospective in perspective—it is a truthful look at being young, innocent, harmless, kids (err, students). As students, we did nothing bad or wrong. And, I hope that it will bring a smile to the readers occasionally, and remind you of your adventures when you were young.
[In trying to be sensitive to this issue, I decided not to use last names, although I wonder if I should. I plan on showing some pictures of everyone from this year. As 36 years have passed, I think we will be ok on the pictures. I DON'T LOOK LIKE I DID 36 YEARS AGO—believe me.]
Write me. There are not very many people reading this blog currently. Very few people know about it. Once I start posting pictures, I will try a bit of marketing. If you are a reader, please feel free to comment using Haloscan, or email me—address is on the Contact Me page. I would love to hear from all of you.
[Can anyone tell me how to show user comments at the end of each blog entry on the page? I am currently using RapidWeaver for my blog software. Any ideas?]
It would be way cool if word of this blog got out to some of my 1971 friends that I mention in this blog, and they responded. The odds of that are probably one-in-6-billion. That would be something if it happened. Since I am not using last names, the odds of that are truly astronomical.
Viennese and European readers. If there are any Viennese, Austrian, or European readers that pick up this blog, I would welcome your comments and emails (and pictures). You could contribute additional insight into the history and culture of Austria and Vienna, and other places I visit. If this occurred, I might consider user-submitted articles and pictures on sightseeing venues, photo-sharing on the web, and perhaps a forum if we had a large number of readers. Podcast? Not out of the question.
If we generate millions and millions of page views, I'll plan a triumphant return to all of Europe and call it 36 years later. You might have to put me up in your house until the real funding comes in.
I will be the first to say that reading someone else's journal, despite my witty humor, may not generate a million page views a month. However, it would be fascinating to get readers involved and see where we go from there. Thanks all.
Again, just some thoughts on the reasons for this journal. If I become too repetitive, I'll stop these.
Youth. A large part of my writing this blog is to perhaps give insight and encouragement to young people who are going through the same things that all of us go through when we grow up and become young adults—school, studying, difficulties, problems, money, learning about yourself, learning to be social with others, discovering "personal" relationships, learning responsibility, and trying to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. You are not alone. There is precedence. Everyone goes through the same learning process. It's called life.
You're special. Think life-long learning. Certainly, if you are young today, you are much more sophisticated than Anjali or I were 36 years ago. What's important is that you are special. Each and every one of you is special, regardless of your age. Youth is special. Enjoy it. Be responsible. Stay in school. Do your best. Don't give up—be realistic, of course, and have back-up plans…the world can't support 400 million brain surgeons, lawyers, baseball players and rock stars. Still, give it a shot, don't give up too soon, go for it. Try to be versatile by not putting all of your eggs in one basket. One of the most important skills all of us can develop is having the interest and capacity for "life-long learning." In today's "flat world" where there is no certainty of which careers will last a lifetime, the ability to learn and adapt new skills is important. Finally, and most importantly, don't start dangerous and self-destructive behavior—drinking, drugs, and smoking. You only have one body. Take care of it. Do you want to spend the rest of your life trying to stop smoking?
Dream. When you're ready…follow your dreams.
These will be themes that I will likely repeat throughout this journal.
Adulthood. I'm not going to lecture to adults (or young people), but those of us who are older can follow the same path as the young.
• Energy of youth. Rediscover your youth. Don't live in the past, but don't be afraid to get excited about the things that used to excite you when you were young.
• Creativity. Be creative. Buy a digital camera and start taking photos; write a song in Garageband [Mac]; take an art class; start a blog on the Internet; start your own private radio show on the Internet—you're a podcaster now; write a short story, magazine article, poetry, or a novel—if the big boys don't want to publish you, publish yourself at Lulu.com .
• Never give up. Don't give up on your dreams.
Start now! Remember, "It's never too early to start. It's never too late to start."
My regrets? What would I do differently, if I could? My only regret, looking back 36 years, is perhaps giving up a bit too early on the creative dreams I had and what I wanted to do with my life (compose serious music, write pop, rock, commercial, children's, and film music, teach college, be a writer, whatever). The good news is that I am rediscovering my creative energy. I'm very excited about some web ideas for the future. New things will be happening (I hope).
Nike. Do it. (Courtesy of Nike.)
Oh, don't live in the past. I'm not. That is not what this journal is about. However, it is ok to remember great memories.

I'm a bit of a denim fanboy to state the obvious, of all the materials out there it is the one that I hold in the highest regard. I have had my flings with flannel of all patters, colours and weights, I certainly have time for both duck canvas and wabash and different sorts of leather boots, belts and jackets almost reach the peak, but in truth there is nothing to compare to denim.
When I first began my obsession with denim, mainly produced in Japan, I would buy anything just to try it out regardless of brand, cut or weight. This scattergun effect proved to be extremely expensive but it did teach me a lot about what I liked, what I didn't like and which cuts suited me best, it gave me a quick and expensive lesson in the world of quality denim. Amongst the brands and cuts I tried were LVC (55's and 66's), Samurai (710, 510 and 5000VX, 110xj2), Oni (Blue and Red), Pure Blue Japan (005 and 007), Sugar Cane (Hawaii and Okinawa) and of course Iron Heart (634s, Beatle Buster, SExIH01, Mega Beatle Buster) so I think I'm now in a position where I can honestly and fairly say what I like and what I don't like in a pair of jeans.
Before I go on talk about the Trophy Blackie jeans I should divulge (in the interests of full disclosure) that the Trophy Dirt Denim in the narrow cut is my favourite pair of jeans ever, for a couple of fairly straight forward reasons. Prior to owning a pair of Trophy jeans my favourite cut was the SExIH01, the Dirt Denim narrow cut is extremely reminscent of this. My favourite denim was the original Samurai Jin denim, Dirt Denim has all the characteristics I loved about this denim but with extra texture and a more acceptable weight for year round wear. I thought it best to disclose this as you may think that I have some bias towards Trophy, I won't deny this at all but I will say that my broad experience of other denims allows me to maintain a certain objectivity.
The Blackie jeans are, in their most basic form, a pair of regular cut Dirt Denim which has been coloured with both a brown cast dye and a black furtive pigment dye, the warp is black the weft is brown, simple. When you look at a photograph of the jeans you see a black pair of jeans, when you handle them and see them up close the brown cast is very evident. The dyeing process initially takes virtually all the surface texture out of the denim, making it very flat like Garage Denim but also quite soft, it feels almost like a significantly weighted duck canvas rather than denim. The other significant change brought about by the dye process is that all appreciable shrink is totally removed from the jeans making them feel a little tighter through the leg, in terms of cut they sit mid way between the regular Dirt Denim and the narrow version.
Though originally weighing in at 14.5oz the Blackies have a post dye weight of closer to 15.5oz due the the tightening of the weave, this also results in the denim being slightly more wind resistant and maybe more suitable to the chillier months. The Blackies feature all the Trophy details that I know well and love, from the slash pockets to the double strengthened heavy twill canvas pocket bags (believe me, this is a fantastic feature for those who know the frustration of bust pockets) and the half lined back pockets, Trophy's detailing in everything they do is both subtle and devastating, understated yet revolutionary. I find myself wishing that all jeans took some tips from Trophy.

RDG responds to European Parliament vote to carry out competitive tendering for passenger rail services
Michael Roberts, director general of the Rail Delivery Group, which speaks on behalf of the rail industry, said: "Europe is moving towards the kind of competitive bidding for rail services that has already helped operators in Britain deliver journey growth unseen in 80 years while significantly increasing the money they give to Government to reinvest in the railway.
"As record numbers of passengers choose to travel by train we want to improve even further in the coming years. The industry is working hard together to make rail travel more affordable and to offer even better services that meet passengers' expectations.
"Continued investment in the network and an industry focused on providing passengers with enhanced services will ensure that our railway continues to grow and improve."

For much of my time in Malaysia I looked like a German sex tourist. My bags had been lost in El Salvador on the trip over, so, smelling quite ripe after 36 hours in the air, I'd bought the first shirt I'd seen. It was pink and floral and not really the kind of thing you want to wear to a bike show…

Are you living with your partner but you are not married to each other? Do you believe that should your relationship breakdown you would be in the same position financially as a married couple? Do you believe that if your partner were to pre decease you then you would be entitled to benefit from their estate on death or receive their pension? A large proportion of people would answer "yes", especially since more and more people choose to live together rather than get married, but the actual legal reality of their positions on relationship breakdown and death is very different and if you are not married to your partner, then the law treats you differently than if you were. Legal protections available to people living with their partners are very limited if they have not entered in to cohabitation agreements (also called living together agreements). Unfortunately, many people have entered into relationships without first taking legal advice as to their position and this has caused them hardship, one of the most common being where the family home is in the name of one partner only. In such a case, it may be possible to secure an interest by bringing a claim based on the law of trusts, but this often is not straightforward. Also, if a partner dies, then there is no automatic entitlement to inherit where that partner leaves no valid will, although it can be possible to bring a claim for maintenance in certain circumstances.
Over the years, there has been a lot of discussion and debate as to how to address these issues, and at this moment in time, there is a Cohabitation Rights Bill passing through Parliament. Whilst the Bill, if passed as law, will not give cohabitees the same rights as married couples, it does go some way to providing statutory arrangements for non married couples who separate.
The Bill sets out who it will apply for (not all couples are covered where the relationship is very shortlived) and it allows for couples to "opt out" of the financial settlement provisions. It will enable the court to make orders for capital payments, property and pension-sharing as well as enable a partner to inherit an interst in the estate of a partner who has died without making a valid will. Claims will, howver, need to be made within 2 years of separation.
It remains to be seen whether the Bill does become law but in the meantime, if you are living with your partner as part of a couple and you are uncertain as to your rights and entitlements, then our family law solicitors in Leicestershire are here to help you.

Apple has this crazy thing going on with customers. They make it crazy silly easy to buy stuff we like, and we spend money on Apple's stores to buy stuff we like. I'm on the Mac App Store right now looking for an app that will prevent the Mac App Store from launching more than once a week.
Seek And Ye Shall Buy
I'm not sure why Apple has a standalone app for the Mac App Store. If iPhone and iPad and Mac apps were all available from the same location, maybe I wouldn't buy as much. Maybe I would buy more.
Today I was digging round in MAS for food. How? I entered food in the search box. Uh oh. My bad. Up popped 40 Mac apps I needed to look at. Actually, that's not true. I already purchased six of the 40, so there were only three dozen left to check out.
Between games and calorie counters, I found a few gems. The Stand O'Food game is wonderful fun. And free. The premium version has more levels and features.
The objective is to run your own fast food restaurant. Emphasis on fast food. All the unhealthy foods are there. Burgers, pie, french fries, ice cream, soda, lasagna.
If you're good, you grow the business through 75 different levels, five settings, and 12 bonus levels. You serve your fast food in 25 different restaurants. You'll have to master 90 recipes and 18 different special sauces to get through different levels.
It's just plain fun, and reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode where Lucy tries her hand at wrapping chocolate on a candy assembly line.

Press Release NHS FIfe
You Can Make a Difference!
Health campaigner Tommy Whitelaw visited the Victoria Hospital today (19/02) to talk to NHS Fife staff and share his experiences as a carer.
Tommy, who was awarded the Age Scotland Campaigner of the Year in 2013,describes himself as 'a son, a carer and a campaigner' following his experience of caring for his mum who had dementia, and who sadly passed away in 2012.
As part of his work with the Health and Social Care Alliance, Tommy talked about the'You Can Make a Difference' campaign. The aim of the campaign is to encouragehealth and social care workers to reflect on the personal stories of family membersand carers of those with dementia, before making a pledge based on one key message or action which they can apply to their everyday practice in order to make a difference.
Tommy said: "Carers tell us that a little bit of time, listening and understanding can make an unimaginable difference during what can be a very difficult and lonely journey.
"No matter what your role, you have the potential to transform the lives and experiences of people with dementia and their carers."
Tommy also presented certificates to our NHS Fife Nursing Assistants who recentlycompleted their Stirling Dementia Centre Best Practice in Dementia Course.
The event was also broadcast via video conference, with around 100 staff fromQueen Margaret and St Andrews Community Hospital also taking part.
NHS Fife Associate Director of Nursing, Lynn Campbell said: "It has been a great privilege to welcome Tommy to the Fife today.
"Having heard Tommy's experiences from his perspective has resonated with all of us, both on a personal level and in our professional roles, and shows how we can make a real difference to those with Dementia and their carers."

Radiohead's Ed O'Brien and Royal Blood are among the artists who have come together to back FanFair Alliance's new online guide on buying gig tickets.
The alliance is a campaign against industrial-scale ticket touting and has now published a guide offering audiences ten tips for beating touts.
Music fans can read ten tips on demystifying the ticket buying process and how to avoid secondary ticketing sites.
FanFar Alliance's Adam Webb said: 'The guide is a response to the dark arts employed by the resale platforms Get Me In!, Seatwave, StubHub and Viagogo. These businesses not only fuel industrial-scale levels of ticket touting, they also use a range of manipulative marketing techniques that sow confusion when tickets go onsale and direct fans away from legitimate and authorised sellers.
'In response, FanFair has consulted widely to come up with ten simple tips that aim to empower audiences and help them better navigate the ticket buying process. We want to help fans identify legitimate and authorised ticket agents, and to promote the concept of ethical resale – where ticket purchasers who can genuinely no longer attend a show have a safe and secure mechanism to sell their ticket on at face value. The vast majority of artists and music businesses are with us on this issue.'
Other artists to come out in support of the guide in Ed Sheeran, Mumford & Sons, You Me At Six and Amy Macdonald.
You can download the guide here for free.
The Culture Media & Sport Select Committee is to host an evidence session on ticket abuse on Tuesday 21 March.

Since the 1970s, Mauckport has been drawing in underground adventurers and history buffs alike with its featured attraction of Squire Boone Caverns and Village. The combination of an hour-long tour through the depths of the caverns with a pioneer village complete with period activities and demonstrations, such as candle dipping and corn grinding, is a fine example of a successful combination of education and fun. Parents and children alike can experience and learn about life in the 1800s while catering to their more adventurous side in an exploration of what lies beneath the hills of Southern Indiana.
The journey into Squire Boone Caverns starts at this wagon. Here, guests are explained the rules of the cave and provided with some interesting facts and precautions before they descend. (Photos by Nick Simpson)
Though there is no set way to go about experiencing Squire Boone, most guests tend to do the cave tour first before they head out to the village. Through the summer months, the cave tours leave every 30 minutes and last around an hour.
Each cave tour is given by an experienced guide who will tell you all about what you're seeing in the cave and answer most of the questions you have. Their first duty, however, is to inform you of the three rules of the cave: No eating or drinking, no smoking, and no touching.
While the first and second rule is common in many places, the third may not be so intuitive. The reason guests are not allowed to touch anything in the caves is because of the oil on our hands. Touching a stalactite or a stalagmite in the cave leaves trace amounts of oil which causes a chemical reaction that stops the "speleothem," or cave formation, from growing.
Guide Jordan Griffey explained that at Squire Boone they like to use the word "speleothem" when speaking of different mineral deposits within the cave instead of "formation" because, technically, the entire cave system is a formation.
Unlike caves that are formed by flowing water, the caves that compose Squire Boone Caverns are solutional caves. This means that the caves were formed by carbonic acid seeping through the ground and eating away at the limestone. Carbonic acid is made naturally when rainwater interacts with the carbon dioxide from plants in the upper layers of the soil.
To enter the caverns, guests must descend 73 steps on a spiraling staircase that descends 60 feet into the earth. The deeper you go, the cooler it gets. Upon reaching the entrance, some guests may begin missing the summer heat when they learn the cave maintains a constant temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit. The reason caves are often cooler than the weather outside, especially in the summer months, is because they reflect the average temperature of the environments above them. In this case, 54 degrees just happens to be the average temperature of Southern Indiana.
"If this cave was in Florida, it would be warmer," Griffey said.
Above is a shot of the rimstone dam at the turn-around point of the tour. This particular dam is the largest active one of its kind in the United States. The pool pictured stands at around four-feet deep with a constant flow of water spilling over its sides.
The first room you enter in the cavern has been dubbed "Death Valley," not for any morbid reason other than the fact that no speleothems are growing in the area because no water is seeping or dripping from the ceiling in this part of the cave.
In the next room guests are shown the "Soda Fountain." Griffey explained that the same acid that formed the caverns in the first place now forms the speleothems within the caves. All of these formations began as thin and hollow stalactites known as "soda straws."
They're named this for both their resemblance to straws and the fact that they are formed by carbonic acid, the main ingredient in soda pop. The "Soda Fountain" features hundreds of tiny soda straws that are as fragile as they are beautiful. Griffey explained that these formations are the only ones that can break under their own weight and "even a strong wind" could snap them.
Over a long and slow process, growing an average of one inch every 100 years, a soda straw eventually becomes a stalactite. After this is formed, the water that drips from the stalactite forms a stalagmite on the cave floor.
This 18-foot waterwheel is part of the gristmill in the Squire Boone Village. The mill was built in the early 1800s by Squire Boone and has been restored to look and function exactly as it did at that time. Corn-grinding demonstrations are performed throughout the day at the mill, with the grindstone powered by the water flowing from Squire Boone Caverns.
One of the most eye-catching features of the caverns comes at the midpoint, or turn-around point, of the tour. Guests are shown the largest active rimstone dam in America. This natural dam slows the flow of the creek that runs through the cave and creates a pool of water as well as a natural spillway that showcases some beautiful flowstone, a formation caused by running water flowing over the limestone. The dam is lit by soft blue lights that give the water a haunting glow while accentuating the formation's naturally bright orange color. The same water that flows through this dam powers the waterwheel at the grist mill near the park's entrance.
At 90 feet below the surface, the rimstone dam is the deepest point that cave enthusiasts get to travel on the tour before they circle back.
On the return trip, guests are treated with a more in-depth explanation of what they are seeing. All the different speleothems are pointed out as well as the four minerals that compose the cave. It's true that explorers of Squire Boone Caverns can get a healthy dose of cave education while still enjoying first-hand the breathtaking sites that compose one of nature's most well-hidden secrets.
In addition to viewing the interesting formations, one of the more exciting parts of the cave tour is actually what you don't see. In a segment called the "Total Darkness Experience," guests are treated to what the cave would actually look like without all the lighting. The result is complete darkness. You can't even see your fingers held just inches from your eyes. It's rare to find this kind of darkness on the surface, and experiencing it is both exciting and strangely calming at the same time.
The main feature of the cave is the giant "Rock of Ages" that is estimated to be around one million years old. The formation, which stands about 30 feet tall, is a combination of all the speleothems within the cave. Guests are given a great view of this formation on the return trip from the top of a large staircase.

The last part of the tour features Squire Boone's coffin. Guests are given a brief history of Squire Boone, Daniel Boone's less famous but no less important brother, and how he came to discover the caverns. The story is also told of how his remains were found in the 1970s and moved into the cave to fulfill his dying wish of being buried in the cave.
After your hour-long tour through the caverns, the Squire Boone experience is far from over as there is a whole village to visit. Whether you care to indulge your sweet tooth at the candy shop or to try your luck at mining gems in a way old prospectors used to, you're guaranteed to have fun spending another few hours exploring the park with your family.

The strain on modern electrical power systems has led to an ever-increasing utilization of new information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve their efficiency and reliability. Wide area monitoring and control (WAMC) systems offer many opportunities to improve the real-time situational awareness in the power system. These systems are essen-tially SCADA systems but with continuous streaming of measurement data from the power system. The quality of WAMC systems and the applications running on top of them are heavily, but not exclusively, dependent on the underlying non-functional quality of the ICT systems.
From an ICT perspective, the real-time nature of WAMC systems makes them susceptible to variations in the quality of the supporting ICT systems. The non-functional qualities studied as part of this research are performance, interoperability and cyber security. To analyze the performance of WAMC ICT systems, WAMC applications were identified, and their requirements were elicited. Furthermore, simulation models capturing typical utility communication infrastructure architectures were implemented. The simulation studies were carried out to identify and characterize the latency in these systems and its impact on data quality in terms of the data loss.
While performance is a major and desirable quality, other non-functional qualities such as interoperability and cyber security have a significant impact on the usefulness of the sys-tem. To analyze these non-functional qualities, an enterprise architecture (EA) based framework for the modeling and analysis of interoperability and cyber security, specialized for WAMC systems, is proposed. The framework also captures the impact of cyber security on the interoperability of WAMC systems. Finally, a prototype WAMC system was imple-mented to allow the validation of the proposed EA based framework. The prototype is based on existing and adopted open-source frameworks and libraries.
The research described in this thesis makes several contributions. The work is a systematic approach for the analysis of the non-functional quality of WAMC ICT systems as a basis for establishing the suitability of ICT system architectures to support WAMC applications. This analysis is accomplished by first analyzing the impact of communication architectures for WAMC systems on the latency. Second, the impact of these latencies on the data quali-ty, specifically data currency (end to end delay of the phasor measurements) and data in-completeness (i.e., the percentage of phasor measurements lost in the communication), is analyzed. The research also provides a framework for interoperability and cyber security analysis based on a probabilistic Monte Carlo enterprise architecture method. Additionally, the framework captures the possible impact of cyber security on the interoperability of WAMC data flows. A final result of the research is a test bed where WAMC applications can be deployed and ICT architectures tested in a controlled but realistic environment.
Phasor-based wide-area monitoring and control (WAMC) systems are becoming a reality with increased research, development, and deployments. Many potential control applications based on these systems are being proposed and researched. These applications are either local applications using data from one or a few phasor measurement units (PMUs) or centralized utilizing data from several PMUs. An aspect of these systems, which is less well researched, is the WAMC system's dependence on high-performance communication systems. This paper presents the results of research performed in order to determine the requirements of transmission system operators on the performance of WAMC systems in general as well as the characteristics of communication delays incurred in centralized systems that utilize multiple PMUs distributed over a large geographic area. This paper presents a summary of requirements from transmission system operators with regards to a specific set of applications and simulations of communication networks with a special focus on centralized applications. The results of the simulations indicate that the configuration of central nodes in centralized WAMC systems needs to be optimized based on the intended WAMC application.

Timely and accurate data with high resolutions holds great promise for more responsible and advanced power grid operations. The research has been focusing on design of monitoring and control scheme given the assumptions that the supporting information and communication technology (ICT) systems are capable of providing data and perform control with sufficient quality. A relatively less addressed aspect is the dependency of wide-area monitoring and control (WAMC) systems on their supporting ICT architecture which is usually a compromise between various concerns, such as data quality, interoperability, or security. Without an appropriate ICT architecture design, the projected WAMC system functionalities run the risk of being jeopardized. This paper begins with a presentation about possible delays brought by complex data-transfer and processing processes. Analytical experiments are conducted with purposes to quantify the maximum delay and input signal's sensitivity toward delay on a typical WAMC application where the control of static var compensation (SVC) is coordinated with generator excitations using phasor measurements. Given the characteristics of this particular control scheme, two possible ICT architectures that provide data with different qualities are compared concerning the reliability of this WAMC application. This paper concludes by proposing a generic ICT architecture, enabling efficient WAMC systems implementation in terms of data quality.
Phasor based Wide Area Monitoring and Control (WAMC) Systems are becoming a reality with increased research, development and deployments. Many potential control applications based on these systems are being proposed and researched. Such applications are either local applications using data from one or a few Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) or centralized utilizing data from several PMUs. An aspect of these systems, which is less well researched, is the WAMC system dependence on high performance communication. This paper presents results of research on the use of Internet Protocol (IP) networks for both PMU and Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)/Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) data for monitoring purposes. The paper examines performance aspects of the IP network Infrastructures when utilized by both: continuous PMU data streams and critical IED/RTU data. A set of simulation models characterizing a network of a Nordic Transmission System Operator were built to perform the analysis. The paper considers Quality of Service (QoS) strategies and the resulting delays and data loss that would be experienced.
Synchrophasor-based Wide-Area Monitoring and Control Systems (WAMC) are becoming a reality with increased international research and development. Several monitoring and control applications based on these systems have been proposed, and although with a relative small adoption, they are currently supporting the operations of some large transmission system operators. It is expected that the continued research and development of phasor data applications will enable the miracle of #x201C;Smart Grids #x201D; at the transmission level. The authors have realized that this can be achieved in timely fashion only if a research and development platform is developed to simultaneously address issues regarding information and communication infrastructures, and phasor data applications. This paper discusses the preliminary development, and deployment of an experimental wide-area monitoring and control platform in which several basic applications have been implemented, and that in the future will allow for the implementation and testing of envisioned applications. At its current stage, the platform allows both online monitoring and off-line analysis. In the future, it will be the cornerstone to a wider platform enabling research on phasor data applications that intrinsically account for ICT aspects.
Wide-area monitoring and control (WAMC) systems are the next-generation operational-management systems for electric power systems. The main purpose of such systems is to provide high resolution real-time situational awareness in order to improve the operation of the power system by detecting and responding to fast evolving phenomenon in power systems. From an information and communication technology (ICT) perspective, the nonfunctional qualities of these systems are increasingly becoming important and there is a need to evaluate and analyze the factors that impact these nonfunctional qualities. Enterprise architecture methods, which capture properties of ICT systems in architecture models and use these models as a basis for analysis and decision making, are a promising approach to meet these challenges. This paper presents a quantitative architecture analysis method for the study of WAMC ICT architectures focusing primarily on the inter-operability and cybersecurity aspects.

IntensjonenConvention on the
Prevention and Punishment
of the Crime of Genocide
Adopted by Resolution 260 (III) A of the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1948.
Article 1
The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish.
Article 2
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Article 3
The following acts shall be punishable:
(a) Genocide;
(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;
(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide;
(e) Complicity in genocide.
1944, apparently coined by Polish-born U.S. jurist Raphael Lemkin (19001959) in his work "Axis Rule in Occupied Europe" [p.19], in reference to Nazi extermination of Jews, lit. "killing a tribe," from Gk. genos "race, kind" (see genus) + -cide. The proper formation would be *genticide.
Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aimed at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. [Lemkin]The Convention was manifestly adopted for humanitarian and civilizing purposes. Its objectives are to safeguard the very existence of certain human groups and to affirm and emphasize the most elementary principles of humanity and morality. In view of the rights involved, the legal obligations to refrain from genocide are recognized as erga omnes.
When the Convention was drafted, it was already envisaged that it would apply not only to then existing forms of genocide, but also "to any method that might be evolved in the future with a view to destroying the physical existence of a group".[22] As emphasized in the preamble to the Convention, genocide has marred all periods of history, and it is this very tragic recognition that gives the concept its historical evolutionary nature.
The Convention must be interpreted in good faith, in accordance with the ordinary meaning of its terms, in their context, and in the light of its object and purpose. Moreover, the text of the Convention should be interpreted in such a way that a reason and a meaning can be attributed to every word. No word or provision may be disregarded or treated as superfluous, unless this is absolutely necessary to give effect to the terms read as a whole.[23]
Genocide is a crime under international law regardless of "whether committed in time of peace or in time of war" (art. I). Thus, irrespective of the context in which it occurs (for example, peace time, internal strife, international armed conflict or whatever the general overall situation) genocide is a punishable international crime.

His creations always tend to have a more naive demeanour, this way managing to balance and give a more unexpected glide to the usually gloomy, yet romantic story-line behind them.Cătălin's concept revolves around the unintentional involvement of natural elements into public spaces and analyses the ephemeral characteristic of a certain object after having contact with certain forces. Damages become goods and the disclosure of the details around this process becomes the centre of interest as physical forces affect mental, spiritual or social perception. With every moon beam, drop of rain, human touch or temporary presence, energies are being absorbed by the solicited objects, therefore giving them a new life and a higher purpose.

Queensland Rail has assured commuters there will be no repeat of the Christmas Day train chaos on New Year's Eve.
QR was forced to cancel 235 services on Sunday, a third of its timetable, due to rostering issues.
Acting CEO Jim Benstead on Tuesday again apologised for the debacle.
"Queensland Rail is very dynamic, and as situations occurred we had to put in place alternate arrangements for customers," Mr Benstead said.
"I can give an assurance to commuters that we are doing everything possible to ensure that we deliver the services that are required on New Year's Eve through to New Year's Day."
Transport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said he was disappointed by the Christmas Day bungle, but was much more confident in the planning being put into New Year's Eve services.
"It is something that is planned for many months ahead of time," Mr Hinchliffe said.
"I have a level of confidence at this point in time, and I'm sure that confidence will be deepened by this time tomorrow following a final round of planning."
A planning meeting will be held on Wednesday to finalise staffing and timetable details for New Year's Eve, with Mr Benstead admitting staff may need to be recalled from annual leave and rostered days off.
It comes as Mr Hinchliffe comes under increasing pressure amid the ongoing rail saga.
Acting Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington has renewed her party's calls for the premier to sack Mr Hinchliffe, saying it has no confidence in his ability to deliver services on Saturday.
"There was that fateful Friday a few months ago where the trains just didn't show up, then we've had Christmas Day where the trains just didn't show up. What's going to happen on New Years Eve?" Ms Frecklington said.

Thursday night in Indianapolis Lebron James led the Cleveland Cavaliers attack in their 119 to 114 win with 41 points 12 Assist and 13 rebounds. Watching the game you would think that this man became a superhero right before your eyes.
"Bron" penetrated, grabbed rebounds and dished the ball off to open men who sank open jumpers. All the while helping the Cavs overcome an explosive first half performance by the Indian Pacers. You see Indian led by Paul George and his 36 points put up 74 points as a team in just the first half. George also finished the night with a career playoff high of 15 rebounds before it was all over, but unfortunately for the Pacers "Bron" was in the building and playing for the other team.
James overcame his 13 points first half performance (a half which the Pacers dominated) and became "Bron" in the second half pouring in 28 points and the almost magical part of his performance was that he made it look easy. Leaving no doubt that he was taking over the game with literally as 2/3 of the big three ( Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving) on the bench. Lebron forced the Pacers to focus on him as he drove to the hole and scored buckets and once Indians' focus was on the King down low he would find open teammates Channing Frye, Kyle Korver, Love and Irving for scoring opportunities.
Do you know that in the third quarter Cleveland scored 35 points and shut down the Pacers attack holding Indiana to only 17 points? I do not know what happened in each team's locker room at the half, but whatever Cleveland head coach Tyronn Lue said to his players, he needs to bottle it up..
The win for the Cavaliers has given "Bron" a record 20th consecutive first round playoff win and James passed Kobe Bryant on the all-time playoffs scoring list ( he now has 5,669 playoff points scored). In my opinion, if Lebron and the Cavaliers can continue to play the way they did in the second half of this most recent win they will be back in the NBA Finals defending their Crown.
There was another game that had a magical atmosphere to it on Thursday night, Did you see it? The Memphis Grizzlies and their rookie head coach David Fizzle had their backs against the wall against the vaunted San Antonio Spurs down two games to none. The same Spurs who finished the regular season with the second-best record in the NBA. But Thursday night's game was different as Memphis point guard Mike Conley, and Grizzly big men Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph each scored over 20 points leading the way to 105-94 Memphis to win. The fight in the Grizzlies can probably be credited to the NBA fining Fizzdale last week for his comments about the officiating in the Grizz game two loss. In the press conference after that game, Fizzdale pointed out the disparity in foul shot opportunities between the Spurs and his Grizzlies. The Memphis head coaches remarks were met with a huge fine from the league. Fizzdale said he was taking up for his players and with that, his players responded Thursday by beating the Spurs by 11 points. The win cuts into the San Antonio lead with another game coming up in Memphis on Saturday

~ Under the Covers
Enemy lover storylines usually work well for me. Something about all that hate can really bring up some passion. Now I normally don't go for books with this much fluff, but sometimes you are just in the mood for that and I picked up this in one of those moods.
Venus is the owner of a vintage boutique. She is also the daughter of the ex-accountant for the Clayworth stores. Her father worked for the Clayworths since forever and one day he was fired, not too nicely, for hiding and stealing money. She has now made it her mission to clean her father's name and prove his innocence. Not only to get him his job back, but to make him feel better about himself.
She has always had a hate-hate relationship with Connor Clayworth, who now runs the store. So she sets her sights on him to find out what happened with this father. Her idea is that while in throws of passion he will spill all his secrets. But she wasn't expecting that plot to backfire when he ends up being really nice, and actually being attracted to her.
There is one more story in this book. A lost pendant reappears. Is it a copy or the true pendant stolen from Clayworth stores many years ago? Connor and Venus will be right in the sights of the thief and they have to draw him out to discover who committed the crime.
I actually did enjoy this book, so if you are feeling in the mood for this type of story, and yes there is steam, then give this book a go!

I'm a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I'm a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn't do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I've re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don't always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.

We reallllly hope you've got a sweet tooth because we've just found the best new dessert in town—and we would hate for you to miss out! From May 26 to June 17, our mates over at Devon Barangaroo are literally making it rain purple soft serve, dishing up a psychedelic sundae in celebration of Vivid.
Get ready to 'gram the hell out of as much soft serve as your hard earned cash can buy, and stuff yourself silly with only the best (and most colourful) sugar you could ever want. Made from an electric purple ube (think purple yam) and paired with leche flan and taro, it tastes even better than it looks.
Trust us.
Want more dessert? Check this out.

Yoga offers benefits that go beyond health and fitness. A new class in Oakland Park aims to bring a social element to those with learning differences.
Peggy Costantini launched Halfmoon Yoga with the goal of creating a get-together for young adults with autism spectrum disorder and other challenges. The free, monthly session teaches yoga at a gentle pace for participants older than 18.
"I bring it down several notches from a regular yoga class," Costantini said. "People in the spectrum with physical and mental disabilities are a little stiffer than some people and a little slower in processing speed. Sometimes they can't verbalize exactly how they're feeling."

In the last 20 years there has been a whole new world emerging, that of a digital nature. The online world has grown so quickly and immensely. In 1997 we were using Netscape to enter the web, and encyclopedias on cds to get our information. There was no such thing as social media the biggest concern for digital citizenship was keeping yourself safe by using screen names. Fast forward to 2005 Youtube launches and Facebook and Twitter follow soon after, now a mere 10 years later we are connected to each other in ways that we didn't think were possible. With this connection though we seem to need a new set of rules, a new code of etiquette so to speak or do we?
I would say maybe not new rules but a tweaking of the old real life rules. I think the rules of courtesy still apply, but need to be tweaked to remind ourselves that the people with us in present time need to be respected by our attention and presence to them by putting our devices away and engaging in real time. I also find that people seem to be more brave hiding behind a keyboard and screen than they are in real life. They type much more vicious things, or are less likely to type positive things. I think we forget there is a feeling person reading the things we type, if you wouldn't say it to someone's face don't type it.
Outside of courtesy there are other issues as well. There seems to be little governance or laws to enforce behaviour, unlike in real life. We are now in an era when what we put online is there for everyone to find FOREVER, that is a mind boggling concept. Employers, banks, customs officials, etc are now using online presence to see if you are an acceptable candidate. There is no rules saying what can be used against you. So if you post something stupid as a teen, it can come back to haunt you when you apply for that dream job, or mortgage 10, or 20 years down the road. Where we do we draw the line at that. In real life if you do something not so great and get caught when you turn the age of majority some these records become a non- issue. Not so in the digital world. So as teachers we need to make sure that kids understand this but really as teen do they get this and should they have to worry that their immature actions as a young teen are going to affect their future careers. Just to be clear I am talking minor stuff not criminal activity.
Then there are the legalities of the digital world. It is tough for law enforcement to find and prosecute criminals and predators due to encryptions, hidden IP addressesl and false digital identities. Then there is the murky area of prosecution of when someone is caught whose laws apply, the country where the victim is or where the criminal is. In addition to those problems is the seemingly harmless things like copying an essay. Many kids see it online and don't think anything of it, they won't get caught, they don't see it as stealing. They aren't harming anyone or so they think. Then there is the whole sexting issue where young people are sharing inappropriate photos because everyone is doing it. They don't see that this is illegal as it often involves their same age peers, and many think of it as joke. However, some of those teens are now facing real life consequences.
So where does this all leave us as parents and teachers. Well we have to first and foremost educate ourselves to know this digital world deeper. We also have to model good online presence and respectful use of our devices. That means when we are in class our phones are away, when we are supervising on the playground our phones are away. We model that they have our undivided attention, and we expect the same. Our next priority is teaching the kids how to keep themselves and friends safe and real online. Talking to them about digital identities and how they are often not the complete story. I talk about that in this post. Next we have to talk to them about the dangers, not be afraid to bring up things like sexting. Not to scare them but to educate them that there actions have real consequences to themselves and others. Finally we have to show that there are many good and advantageous things to being online if we are good citizens.
