A new country, a new language. It's all Greek to me.
The day isn't over yet, but I have to do my notes when I can. I write this sitting on my balcony in the moonlight off the coast of Greece. So today is Athens. We did see the protesters camp, but things are quite enough for us to go into port, apparently a few weeks ago the ship did not go in, then the next time then were given cards with emergency contact numbers in case of an emergency. Anyway we did a ship tour just because that's the way things worked out. Joyce and Doris did their own sites of Athens for those with limited mobility and we did a drive by sites with the main stop at the Acropolis. So much history to see and it is so hard to keep it all straight. The ruins were pretty amazing and are being restored. You can see what has been done already because of the colour of the stone; the white stone would be the recent repairs. One thing is amazing to think about how slippery the rock surfaces are due to the thousands of feet that have worn the rocks down. The other thing that I found interesting is all the big, well-fed and unleashed dogs. They are there to guard. At night they will leave police alone, and workers but will go after the illegal immigrants who pilfer from the ruins.
We hesitate to call them Gypsies, but we are warned time and time again by the locals to not buy their products and to safe guard our personal items from pickpockets.
The temp is 36, but it is manageable. I managed to get into the WC during a lull. Just as I was warned, squat toilets and no paper.
We dozed a bit during the return trip. They dropped us off in Piraeus to get some stamps and mail some post cards. I also tried to get Euros, but no luck. It appears they have canceled my cards. Good thing I had a second one on the ship and it worked just fine.
Lunch, line dance, nap, lots and lots of water and Tracy and I took first place in the Bocce tournament. Roger and I went for a tour backstage where we learned about the audition process, rehearsals and life of a dancer and singer in the shows. One month of rehearsals to learn the big production shows and three more weeks if you are one of the dancers who fly. You may not gain or lose more than five pounds, as one of them said, you are a commodity.
We picked up Tracy from the Cha Cha class and headed to dinner. Another fun night with our excellent servers! More tricks tonight. The balancing pop can, the precut banana, and the pop can stuck in the can and the upside down glass.
The seniors have gone off to see the comedian, while we hit the dance floor and play the night away.

Let's face it, anyone who ever says they finished a jawbreaker and didn't spit it out is a filthy liar because those things are massive and indestructible.
Well, almost indestructible. Watching one meet the hot end of a blowtorch is extremely satisfying for anyone who's ever been forced to abandon the manual labour involved in eating one and for anyone who's a fan of rainbow spectrums because they all come out here in soothing fashion.

TO THE EDITOR, VIA VOICEMAIL: "Wm Steven Humphrey, I need your help immediately! I'm at Billy Ray's Dive here on MLK in Northeast Portland, where somebody is showing old Aquaman cartoons here in the bar as we speak. I don't know whose idea this was, but they need to be stopped immediately. I can only assume that since office hours are over, you're now snorting very expensive cocaine off the stomach of a $10,000 hooker, but if you can wreak some vengeance upon these people, they need to be dealt with. You are the man for the job. Help us, Humpy, you're our only hope."
TO THE MERCURY (i.e. those who believe they represent "coolness" in Portland): Have you ever stopped to think you're not as cool as you think you are? Mayhaps you'd consider there are more people doing things that you never see, that therefore might, by power of numbers alone, be thereby cooler than you?
For instance, you obsess over these "Detroit Rock" bands, and skinny white people playing "electroclash." Yet beyond your range of vision, at great gatherings of many spirited individuals, I've seen great halls full of people dancing, disrobing, and reveling to the older-than-Earth sounds of masters of the art of filk. What is "filk," ye may ask? Filk is a tradition old as the hills, fueled by ceaseless cups of honey mead, not your swill Pabst (fie!).
If you were to step out of your soulless rock clubs and happen upon such filk masters, you might never again promote the derivative dribble of storyless snivelers. Though I know this will fall on giggling ears of non-believers, we need not your foul coverage, for our culture travels by word of mouth, not on your cheap rags that bear the plague across the sodden lands.
Timotheus Ervingalorious
TO THE EDITOR: People like Gerhardt Goeken ["Letters," Jan 22] are no better than racists or sexists. He claims that "Americans are not ready for a president who espouses alternative religious views." I suppose that means in his narrow, ignorant opinion we're not ready for a female or black president either.
As an atheist I accept the fact I'm a member of what will probably be the last group to be discriminated against in this country. I once had my work hours cut in half shortly after revealing my atheism to a boss. My family has shunned me for my beliefs. Christians are constantly attempting to convert me, and sometimes even treat me as if something were seriously wrong with what I believe.
As long as xenophobes like Gerhardt Goeken continue to behave like this, every president for the rest of our sorry lives will be a straight white Christian male. So much for diversity.

stop IGNORING my CLITORIS
TO THE EDITOR: Question: How many women have had an orgasm during sex with the fumbling idiots who wrote the Mercury's 4th Annual Sex Survey [Jan 22]? (Here's a hint... ZIPPITY DOO DAH!)
I am hallucinating in a cave of hot sperm and blind bats, eyes bleeding worse than day one of my period because I just gouged them out with watermelon flavored Dum Dums. Why? Because the sex survey in the "left wing" Mercury doesn't mention the word clitoris. Clitoris. CLITORIS.
Jesusfuckingchrist, G.W. Bush is probably more knowledgeable about how to please a girl than you. Orgasms 101: most women don't orgasm from guys banging away at our birthing canals. "But she screams and has wild orgasms when I pound away," you say? Well, she's FAKING. She loves you because you're adorable, or kind, or you got her tickets to that Valentine's Day Interpol show at Berbati's last year--not because she's having orgasms.
Here's one for next year's boy section: DO YOU KNOW WHAT AND WHERE THE CLITORIS IS? The clitoris is the only human organ created solely for the purpose of pleasure, and pleasure only. Learn it, know it, love it.
CONGRATS TO LAURIE for winning the Mercury "Letter of the Week" which includes two tickets to Laurelhurst Theater and two passes to see your clitoris at Berbati's on Feb 4. Wait... not clitoris... Nada Surf. Thank you.
1. Sex Surveys are due on Wednesday, February 4. Fill yours out today at

Visitors to Crieff, Perthshire
After Perth, Crieff, once a cattle frontier town, is the second largest town in Perthshire. It's rise to prominence was very much as a result of the military road-building by General Wade in the early 1700's, when he positioned the town on his main marching route from Stirling to Perth, and it continued to grow in size, wealth and stature after that.
Situated centrally on the southern borders of the Scottish Highlands, it's ideally located as a centre for the exploration of the immediate Highlands, where the visitor can be alone in the rugged wilderness within twenty minutes in one direction, or in Glasgow and Edinburgh one hour in the other.
For the self-catering holiday maker, the town offers a lot of everything to make your stay enjoyable and memorable. There is a comprehensive range of cottage, lodge, house and apartment properties available in the surrounding area, including within the town itself, and you'll receive a fine Perthshire welcome wherever you go. Many will also welcome your pet, so a family holiday can be totally complete - and there's certainly no shortage of walks for Fido!
A leisurely stroll through the town will reveal a host of privately and family-owned shops and boutiques, selling the best in locally made gifts, knitwear, food and produce. And you'll be made feel as welcome as a browser as you would be as a shopper. There are also many cafes, inns and restaurants serving a host of styles and cuisines, so mealtimes and refreshments need not be confined to the cottage kitchen! Be prepared, though, to be regaled by local tales of Bonnie Prince Charlie, Rob Roy Macgregor, Robert Burns and various members of royalty having walked the town's very self same High Street in the past!
The town has some famous records it is proud to boast about. It is home to Glenturret, Scotland's oldest malt whiskey distillery (dating back to the late 1700's), and in the late 17th Century became the site of Scotland's first - and now of course oldest - public lending library. It is also said that the Macrosty Park, with its fabulous mature trees, is one of the prettiest in Scotland, and certainly the finest for a romantic stroll or two.
There is plenty to see and do in and around the town. To the south of the town, the Drummond Castle Gardens are well worth a visit, with their redesigned terraces dating back to the early 19th Century. The Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre, set in a spectacular 100 acres has over 150 species, a unique wild bird hatchery, play areas for the children and a rural life museum. And for those seeing something a little out of the ordinary, the nearby village of Comrie has the recently refurbished and the UK's first seismological station at earthquake House. For the outdoor types there's salmon, sea and brown trout and grayling angling on the River earn, or you could opt for a round of golf, or following a cycling route.
And as mentioned, there are more walks and hikes than you would possibly have the time to do!
And at the end of the day, you can retire back to your cottage, put the children out to pasture (in the back room, that is, with a book or their hand-held computer game!) and enjoy a glass of Glenturret with some local fruit cake and cheese, feet up in front of your log fire.

In 1230, Ralph Mortimer of Wigmore took a certain Gwladus Ddu as his wife. Ralph was a Marcher Lord, always intent on expanding his domains into Wales. His new wife was as Welsh as they came, daughter of Prince Llewellyn the Great.
While Gwladus' paternity has never been up for discussion – she is Gwladus ferch Llewellyn when mentioned in records of the time – who her mother was is a substantially thornier issue. Was Gwladus the product of Llewellyn's long-standing affair with a certain Tangwystl, mother of his eldest son Gruffydd, or was she a legitimate daughter, born to Llewellyn and his Angevin wife Joanna? Somewhat ironically given the discussions as to whether Gwladus was illegitimate or not, Joanna was most definitely illegitimate, the daughter of King John of England.
To sort out who was Gwladus' mother, one could start by trying to pin down when Gwladus was born. Well, unsurprisingly, it's not as if there's a neat entry stating her date of birth. Instead, genealogists usually work backwards from what known facts there are, and one of those facts is that Gwladus' marriage to Ralph was not her first: she'd been wed to Reginald de Braose already back in 1215.
This, according to some, means she must have been born at the latest around 1202, so as to be of marriageable age in 1215. And if Gwladus was born in 1202, she could not be Joanna's daughter seeing as Joanna and Llewellyn were wed in 1205, ergo Ralph Mortimer married an illegitimate Welsh princess.
However, there are some doubts as to whether there was a real marriage in 1215. Maybe it was more of a betrothal. Besides, why would Reginald de Braose, a man pushing forty and with heirs to his body (among which a certain William de Braose whom Llewellyn would hang in 1230 for having engaged in adulterous relations with Llewellyn's wife, Joanna. All very complicated, isn't it?) want to marry the illegitimate daughter of Llewellyn? A second marriage in this case would have been entered out of political interests, and Gwladus was worth much, much more as a political pawn if she was the legitimate daughter of a Welsh prince and the granddaughter of an English king than if she were the daughter of Llewellyn and the irresistibly named Tangwystl.
It is also interesting to note that while Gwladus and Reginald were married for thirteen years there are no recorded children. Reginald was definitely fertile and with her second husband Gwladus would go on to prove that she was too which begs the question if this first marriage was ever consummated, thereby indicating (perhaps) that maybe the bride was very young in 1215, corresponding with a birthdate after 1205.
When King John gave his daughter in marriage to Llewellyn, he also had Llewellyn promise that it would be the children he had with Joanna who would be his heirs. This was not in accordance with Welsh custom which in general supported every child's right to inherit its father, no matter if the child was conceived within or without the marital bed.
At the time of Llewellyn's wedding to Joanna, he already had a son named Gruffydd, so by agreeing to John's demands he was effectively disinheriting his boy. Did not go down well with Gruffydd. In fact, this permanently soured the relationship between father and son and would spill over into the future bitter enmity between Gruffydd and his half-brother Dafydd. However, at the time of Llewellyn agreeing to John's demands there was no Dafydd ap Llewellyn (except as a twinkle in his father's eye) so we can leave that sad story of brotherly strife for some other day.
Anyway: back to Gwladus, who seems to have enjoyed a better relationship with her baby brother Dafydd. Is this indicative of a closer relationship than that of being his half-sister? No idea. But when a very young Dafydd rode to London in 1229 to visit with his young uncle, Henry III, Gwladus rode with him. Dafydd undertook this little trip to present himself before the entire English court as Llewelyn's recognised heir, thereby formally acquiring his uncle's support against his half-brother's claim.
At the time, Gwladus was recently widowed, Reginald having passed away in 1228. Now, the fact that Gwladus chose to accompany her younger sibling may indicate nothing more than a case of wanderlust. But if Gwladus was Gruffydd's full sister, wouldn't she have hesitated in accompanying her half-brother on a trip that had as its purpose to permanently scotch Gruffydd's hopes of inheriting Llewellyn's lands?
It did not take long for Llewellyn to find a new husband for his widowed daughter. This time, Gwladus was dispatched to wed Ralph Mortimer of Wigmore, a man some years her senior who'd become heir to the Mortimer lands upon the death of his older brother. The Mortimers were as covetous and power-hungry as all the Marcher Lords and while Ralph definitely wanted heirs, he also wanted valuable alliances. I seriously doubt he'd have wanted Gwladus—no matter how beautiful she might have been—unless she was not only the daughter of Llewellyn but also the niece of Henry III. Or maybe Ralph had already got the measure of the young English king and decided it was more important to keep the Welsh wolf at bay than pacify the English lion cub.
Whatever the case, Ralph and Gwladus seem to have hit it off. Over the first nine years of married life, she gave birth to six known children, among them the very competent Roger Mortimer who would go on to become a loyal servant of the king, behead Simon de Montfort at Evesham and marry Maud de Braose, daughter of the man his Welsh grandfather once hanged for adultery. And their sons would – no, not today. The story of Edmund and Roger Mortimer Jr (a.k.a. Lord Chirk) and the sad end of Llewellyn ap Gruffyd, grandson to Llewellyn the Great deserves a post of its own (and boxes and boxes of tissues).
In 1246, Ralph died, leaving Gwladus a widow. She never remarried, dying five years later while visiting with her maybe-uncle, Henry III, in Winchester.
Not only don't we know for sure who Gwladus' mother was. We know nothing about Gwladus herself, beyond who her father was, who her husbands were, who her children were. She is defined not by who she was but by what she was, daughter, wife, mother. We have no depiction of her, all we have is her epithet, Ddu, which is Welsh for black. I guess this probably means that Gwladus was dark rather than fair, and I picture her with long dark braids and eyes the colour of a deep forest tarn. For some reason, I imagine she was of a serious disposition – but that is entirely fanciful, and for all I know, Gwladus may have been the life and soul of any medieval party she might have been invited to.
Gwladus Ddu remains an enigmatic and anonymous lady who attracts more interest due to the uncertainties surrounding her mother than due to herself. That's a bit sad. However, no matter who her mother was, through Gwladus the blood of the Royal House of Gwynedd would pass down the Mortimer line, the Welsh Dragon lying dormant until that very distant descendant of hers, Edward IV, claimed the throne. Through Edward's daughter, Elizabeth of York, that rather diluted drop of Welsh blood has made it all the way down the line to the present Queen. I rather like that, and I think it makes Gwladus' father smile in his heaven. Not so sure what her mother might think about it—oh, that's right: we're not even sure of who was Gwladus' mother!
ADDENDUM: The very generous Ken John has shared his own extensive research on Gwladus' maternity with me. It is Ken's opinion that Gwladus was Joanna's daughter and he presents as evidence the following:
That first marriage to Reginald Braose was all about alliances, the very young bride turned over to her husband as a pledge of Llewellyn's good intentions against de Braose family. Gwladus never had any children by Reginald, and this indicates non-consummation which, according to Ken, probably is an indication of how young she was when she was wed (8 or 9 at most).
Just as I argue above, Ken also points out that Gwladus' value to the Mortimers was much, much higher if she was also the granddaughter of King John. Furthermore, upon Gwladus' marriage to Ralph Mortimer, she brought to her husband the manors of Knighton and Norton, which King John had settled on llewellyn when Joanna was married to the Welsh prince. It seems highly unlikely that manors that came with Joanna's dower were used to dower other daughters than her own.
Finally, Ken points out that Henry III apparently had a lot of time for Gwladus which he feels indicates a blood relationship.
Thank you so much, Ken, for sharing this with me!

Sebastian writes:
We carried a news story when the full programme was announced for this year's seventh Herts Jazz Festival. (LINK)
I spoke to Festival Director Clark Tracey about some of the concerts he was particularly looking forward to:
Georgie Fame with the Guy Barker Big Band.
Friday 13 October 8.30pm
The original idea for this festival feature had come to Clark thanks to Jim Mullen who is in Guy Barker's Big Band. They will be coming to Welwyn having just performed a week's residency at Ronnie Scott's that week. That led to a conversation about…
Saturday 14 October 2pm Theatre Foyer – free admission
This trio of guitarists, Jim Mullen, Nigel Price and bassist Mick Hutton, play what Nigel Price describes as "high octane jazz guitars". I asked Clark if he knew who had chosen the band name: "It was definitely Jim!"
Bobby Wellins' "Culloden Moor Suite" featuring Mornington Lockett
Sunday 15 October, 7.45 pm
This concert devised by Mornington Lockett will be in two parts, with Mornington leading a quartet in the first half, playing tunes associated with Bobby Wellins, going back to various of his albums: Jubilation (1978), Dreams are Free (1979) and Birds of Brazil (1989).
The second half will see two tenor saxophones sharing front line duties in the Culloden Suite – Mornington Lockett will be joined by Art Themen. Clark has been listening to the original recording of the suite on which Bobby Wellins was joined by Lol Coxhill. "It sounds… more like a war. Bobby and Lol Coxhill seem to really 'lock horns'." The band for Culloden Suite also has a Hertfordshire connection – from the Purcell School in Bushey. Within the band are some young stars-in-the-making, trumpeter Alex Ridout and saxophonist Sean Payne.
Art Themen's New Directions
Saturday 14 October 5pm
The mention of Art Themen, who is a Patron of Herts Jazz, led Clark to mention Art's own gig as leader. He is bringing his quintet with trumpeter Steve Fishwick, pianist Gareth Williams, bassist Arnie Somogyi and drummer (and also vocalist) Winston Clifford.
Gary Husband Trio
Saturday 14 October 3.15pm
"Gary is someone we've been trying to get for a number of years," says Clark. This is his trio is with bassist Sam Burgess and drummer Ed Richardson." (pp)
Currently there are full weekend passes on sale. (LINK)
Day tickets and individual gig tickets will be on sale from 1 August.

Unboring Cashew Crusted Halibut-Eat by Color Style
Unboring cashew crusted halibut looks gourmet and is easier to make that you think. This Eat by Color recipe is pretty simple. The hardest thing to locate for most will be fresh halibut. I got lucky as a local family has a son that is exported fresh fish from Alaska to the Midwest. I got a fair deal on fresh halibut.
1 lb of Halibut Filets
2 Cups of Panko
8 oz of Cashews
Handful of Almonds (literally all I had left in the kitchen so I tossed them in to the mix :-))
4 TBS of Parmesan Cheese (I used the stuff in the green can as I forgot to buy some fresh)
1 TSP each of Rosemary, Thyme, and Oregano
1 TBS Butter
Run the cashews and almonds through the food processor. I used the pulse button and got carried away as I ended up with more a powder blend than a nice chunky mix. Live and learn I guess. Mix the panko, nuts, parmesan and spice in a bowl. Wash the halibut. Pour the panko nut mix onto a plate. Mine was a bout a 1/4 inch deep on the plate. Then press the fish onto the mix. Flip and do the same thing. Now there are some recipes that call for dipping the fix in eggs, milk, or some combo there of. The way I did it was lower on calories and fat. Since the panko nut mix stuck just fine to the fish I see no reason to do it any other way.
I melted 1 TBS of butter in a cast iron oven safe pot. Heat the oven to 350. Place fish in cast iron pot and bake for 15-20 minutes. Since ovens vary you may need to bake longer or at a high temp. The fish will flake apart when done.
Optional serve with roasted red potatoes and a white sauce.

We shot this video during a DISH event at our local Hyvee in Sycamore Illinois. DISH allows a group of people to batch prep meals that are bagged and froze to be cooked later. What is really nice is Hyvee pulls all of the groceries and does the clean up. The group shows up preps the meals. We prepped 72 meals (each feeds 4 adults) in less than an hour and a half. The best part… I handled the recipe selection and they are all Eat by Color friendly.
Planning and preparing goes a long way to making life easy and being able to Eat by Color. Get your own group together, if you are local join one of ours, or check out your local Hyvee!

Baked Hard Boiled Egg Recipes-Eat by Color Style
Baked, hard boiled eggs. How can an egg be baked and hard boiled? Great question. Let's take a step back. Eggs are affordable source of protein. Hard boiled eggs are also portable. Portable protein sources make life convenient. There are three problems with boiling eggs. First a large pot of boiling water on top of the stove, a concern if you have small children. Second having to watch the pot for boil over. Third having to peel the shells that sometimes just do not want to come off the egg. Baking the eggs provides all of the convenience of a hard boiled egg with out the three concerns listed above.
Method One on left above. Preheat your oven to 350F. Place the eggs into cupcake tins. Place tins in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes depending on oven.
Method Two on the right above. Preheat your oven to 350F. Coat a cupcake tin with non stick cooking spray. Crack the eggs and drop one egg per cupcake spot. Place tin in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes again depending on oven. This method eliminate problem three, having to peel the eggs.

Population And Job Growth Remain Strong In Asheville, But Wage Growth Lags Far Behind
Population and job growth continue to be strong in the Asheville region, but wages are lagging far behind. That's according to a report released by the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Coalition of Asheville-Buncombe County. The report studied a six county area (Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Madison, Transylvania) and found the average wage per job is $44,800. The national average is $62,100.
That disparity in wages comes as the population continues to grow in the region. The report shows by the year 2021, population will grow an estimated 4.1% in the region, adding more than 21-thousand residents. Jobs are growing at similar rates, with another 16-thousand projected to be created in the next five years. 'Restaurants and other eating places' are the largest industry in the region by far, and the fastest growing industry by far as well. By extension, 'food preparation and serving workers, including fast food' is the fastest growing occupation in the region. It's followed by retail salespersons, waiters and waitresses, registered nurses, and restaurant cooks.

The Group of Twenty (G20), an assortment of twenty of the world's biggest economies shaped in 1999, was imagined as an alliance that would unite the main industrialized and creating economies to examine worldwide monetary and monetary security. Its yearly highest point, a social occasion of G20 pioneers that appeared in 2008, has developed into a significant gathering for examining financial aspects just as other squeezing worldwide issues. One of the gathering's most amazing accomplishments was its strong reaction to the 2008 monetary emergency, however, a few experts say its union has since frayed.
G20 nations keep on supporting participation on a few different fronts, going from battling psychological warfare to carrying more ladies into the labor force. In 2019, the G20 culmination happens in Osaka, Japan, and the plan remembers conversations for change of the World Trade Organization (WTO), worldwide wellbeing, and environmental change. Two-sided gatherings on the highest point's sidelines have sporadically prompted significant peaceful accords and highlighted existing threats.
What is the G20 culmination and who partakes in it?
The G20 involves nineteen nations with a portion of the world's biggest economies, just as the European Union. The nations are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Consistently, the heads of G20 individuals meet to talk about principally monetary and monetary matters and facilitate strategy on some different issues of shared revenue. Models incorporate when the G20 examined how to address a secretive Iranian atomic plant at the 2009 highest point and when the discussion discussed how to direct a halfway truce in Syria at the 2017 culmination. The G20 is certifiably not a perpetual organization with a base camp, workplaces, or staff. All things being equal, its initiative turns on a yearly premise among its individuals, its choices are made by agreement, and execution of its plan relies upon the political will of the individual states. The 2019 highest point in Osaka is required to draw many heads of state and government.
For what reason does the G20 matter?
Together, the countries of the G20 represent around 80% of worldwide monetary yield, almost 75% of all worldwide exchange, and around 66% of the total populace. These figures have remained moderately steady while the comparing rates for Group of Seven (G7) countries, a more modest gathering of cutting edge vote-based systems, have contracted, as developing business sectors take up a generally more noteworthy portion of the world's economy.
What's been on the plan?
The G20 at first centered to a great extent around the wide macroeconomic arrangement, however, it has extended its ambit. The 2018 culmination in Argentina zeroed in on a reasonable and economical turn of events, while the past highest point in Germany bored down on issues including defilement, illegal tax avoidance, and global duty sanctuaries. A few plans have had even less to do with macroeconomics: the 2016 highest point in Hangzhou, China, was the place where U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping officially reported their nations' promotion to the Paris Agreement on the environment.
Monetary and monetary coordination stays the focal point of each culmination's plan, however, issues like the eventual fate of work, psychological warfare, and worldwide wellbeing are repeating centers too. This was progressively evident soon after the worldwide monetary emergency when the G20 had the option to turn its consideration past intense financial emergency the board.

In a Future Age
Archeologists will marvel at Easter eggs
our kids never found–the plastic ones
that crack along an equator, their domes
asymmetrical, their outsides an emery
of thousand-grit glitter. What old news,
by then, the dinosaurs' feathers–
when geologists unearth fossils cured
around flossers and drones' propellers,
when botanists coddle cotyledons by habit,
repotting the seedlings of simulacraceae.
Already I look at the daffodils that part
last year's mulch, their crepe manes
twisted inside green sleeves, and without
willing it I think the shoots the shape
of throw-away butter knives. Already
a car alarm and a Canada goose
sound the same note and I marvel
that bird and horn honk off-tempo.

Human anatomy » Musculoskeletal system » Page 2
The bones of the leg and foot
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 11650
The bones of the leg and foot form part of the appendicular skeleton that supports the many muscles of the lower limbs. These muscles work together to produce movements such as standing, walking, running, and jumping. At the same time, the bones and joints of the leg and foot must be strong enough to support the body's weight while remaining flexible enough for movement and balance.
The femur, or thigh bone, is the largest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the human body. Many strong thigh muscles attach to the femur and pull on the femur during movements of the hip and knee joints.
The bones of the hand and wrist
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 84781
The bones of the hand and wrist provide the body with support and flexibility to manipulate objects in many different ways. Each hand contains 27 distinct bones that give the hand an incredible range and precision of motion. The forearm's ulna and radius support the many muscles that manipulate the bones of the hand and wrist. Rotation of the radius around the ulna results in the supination and pronation of the hand. These bones also form the flexible wrist joint with the proximal row of the carpals.
The ulna
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 115311
The ulna is the longer, larger and more medial of the lower arm bones. Many muscles in the arm and forearm attach to the ulna to perform movements of the arm, hand and wrist. Movement of the ulna is essential to such everyday functions as throwing a ball and driving a car.
The ulna extends through the forearm from the elbow to the wrist, narrowing significantly towards its distal end. At its proximal end it forms the elbow joint with the humerus of the upper arm and the radius of the forearm. The ulna extends past the humerus to form the tip of the elbow, known as the olecranon. The olecranon fits into a small recess in the humerus known as the olecranon fossa, preventing the elbow's extension beyond around 180 degrees. Just distal to the olecranon is the concave trochlear notch that surrounds the trochlea of the humerus to form the hinge of the elbow joint. The distal lip of the trochlear notch protrudes anteriorly to form the coronoid process that helps to lock the ulna in place with the humerus at the elbow and fits into the coronoid fossa of the humerus. On the lateral edge of the coronoid process is the small radial notch that forms the proximal radioulnar joint with the radius and permits the radius to rotate around the ulna at the elbow. A long ridge on the anterior side of the coronoid process known as the ulnar tuberosity extends down the shaft of the ulna as a muscle attachment point.
The radius
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 82949
The radius is the more lateral and slightly shorter of the two forearm bones. It is found on the thumb side of the forearm and rotates to allow the hand to pivot at the wrist. Several muscles of the arm and forearm have origins and insertions on the radius to provide motion to the upper limb. These movements are essential to many everyday tasks such as writing, drawing, and throwing a ball.
The radius is located on the lateral side of the forearm between the elbow and the wrist joints. It forms the elbow joint on its proximal end with the humerus of the upper arm and the ulna of the forearm. Although the radius begins as the smaller of the two forearm bones at the elbow, it widens significantly as it extends along the forearm to become much wider than the ulna at the wrist. A short cylinder of smooth bone forms the head of the radius where it meets the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna at the elbow. The head of the radius allows the forearm to flex and pivot at the elbow joint. Just distal to the head, the radius narrows considerably to form the neck of the radius before expanding medially to form the radial tuberosity, a bony process that serves as the insertion of the biceps brachii.
The subdeltoid bursa
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 86083
The subdeltoid bursa is a fluid-filled sac located under the deltoid muscle in the shoulder joint. It plays an important role in decreasing friction in the shoulder joint and protects the surrounding tissues of the joint.
The humerus
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 94614
The humerus is the both the largest bone in the arm and the only bone in the upper arm. Many powerful muscles that manipulate the upper arm at the shoulder and the forearm at the elbow are anchored to the humerus. Movement of the humerus is essential to all of the varied activities of the arm, such as throwing, lifting, and writing.
At its proximal end, the humerus forms a smooth, spherical structure known as the head of the humerus. The head of the humerus forms the ball of the ball-and-socket shoulder joint, with the glenoid cavity of the scapula acting as the socket. The rounded shape of the head of the humerus allows the humerus to move in a complete circle (circumduction) and rotate around its axis at the shoulder joint. Just below the head, the humerus narrows into the anatomical neck of the humerus. Two small processes, the greater and lesser tubercles, extend from the humerus just below the anatomical neck as attachment points for the muscles of the rotator cuff. The humerus narrows below the tubercles again in a region known as the surgical neck before extending toward elbow joint as the body of the humerus. About a third of the way to the elbow, the humerus swells into a small process known as the deltoid tuberosity, which supports the insertion point of the deltoid muscle.
The scapula
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 85100
The scapula is the technical name for the shoulder blade. It is a flat, triangular bone that lies over the back of the upper ribs. The rear surface can be felt under the skin. It serves as an attachment for some of the muscles and tendons of the arm, neck, chest and back and aids in the movements of the arm and shoulder. It is well padded with muscle so that great force is required to fracture it. The back surface of each scapula is divided into unequal portions by a spine. This spine leads to a head, which bears two processes-the acromion process that forms the tip of the shoulder and a coracoid process that curves forward and down below the clavicle (collarbone). The acromion process joins a clavicle and provides attachments for muscles of the arm and chest muscles. The acromion is a bony prominence at the top of the shoulder blade. On the head of the scapula, between the processes mentioned above, is a depression called the glenoid cavity. It joins with the head of the upper arm bone (humerus).
The clavicle (collarbone)
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 81569
The clavicles, or collarbones, are a pair of long bones that connect the scapula to the sternum. The name clavicle comes from the Latin word for "little key" and describes the shape of the clavicle as an old-fashioned skeleton key. The clavicle is one of the most commonly broken bones in the human body. It also serves as an important and easily located bony landmark due to its superficial location and projection from the trunk.
The bones of the arm and hand
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 7795
The bones of the arm and hand have the important jobs of supporting the upper limb and providing attachment points for the muscles that move the upper limb. These bones form joints that provide a wide range of motion and flexibility needed to manipulate objects deftly with the arm and hand. They also provide strength to resist the extreme forces and stresses acting upon the arms and hands during sports, exercise, and heavy labor.
Consisting of the clavicle (collar bone) and scapula (shoulder blade), the pectoral girdle forms the attachment point between the arm and the chest. The clavicle, which gets its name from the Latin word for key, is a long bone that connects the scapula to the sternum (breast bone) of the chest. It is located just under the skin in the thoracic region between the shoulder and the base of the neck. The clavicle is slightly curved like a letter S and is about five inches in length. Two joints are formed by the clavicle – the sternoclavicular joint with the sternum, and the acromioclavicular joint with the acromion of the scapula. The clavicle permits the shoulder joint to move in circles while remaining attached to the bones of the chest.
The coccyx
- Category: Musculoskeletal system
- Views: 81067
The coccyx, or tailbone, is both the smallest and the most inferior bone in the spinal column. It is a vestige of the caudal vertebrae found in the tails of most mammals. In the human body, the coccyx functions to anchor several muscles of the pelvic region and acts as one of the bones that bear the body's weight while sitting.
The coccyx is a small, triangular bone measuring less than one inch (2.5 cm) in length and curved like a hawk's beak. It is widest at its superior border, where it meets the sacrum, and is narrowest at its inferior tip. The coccyx is curved to form a concave surface anteriorly that is continuous with the curvature of the sacrum. In men the concavity is greater, while in females the concavity is reduced so that the coccyx does not point as anteriorly as it does in the male skeleton. A thin band of fibrocartilage binds the coccyx to the sacrum above it while permitting slight flexion and extension of the coccyx. Two bony spines known as cornua extend superiorly toward the sacrum on the posterior side and are connected to the sacral cornua by ligaments.

Fiestas de la Santísima Cruz, Moros y Cristianos de Abanilla
Fiestas in Abanilla: the principal fiestas patronales
Although there are a number of different fiestas in Abanilla throughout the year, by far and away the most important are those which take place at the beginning of May, the Fiestas patronales.
While the religious element of these fiestas focuses on the reliquery of the lignum crucis, the Santísima Cruz, which is also the patrona of Abanilla, there is a second element to these celebrations in which the well-worn topic of " Moors and Christians" surfaces, providing colour and a party atmosphere, the two kábildes and mesnadas (groups of Moors and Christians) celebrating the historical past of their municipality to enjoy a series of sociable acts together.
Two different bodies organize these fiestas: La Federación de Asociaciones de Fiestas de Moros y Cristianos "Santa Cruz" de Abanilla which takes care of all the details relating to the parade and Moors and Christians element and the Hermandad de la Santa Cruz which organizes the religious acts; the romería of the 3rd May, and romería of September.
The principal acts take place between the last week of April and the first week of May, the main acts of each being the grand parade of the Moors and Christians on the 1st May and Romería of the 3rd May in which the cross of Abanilla is carried to the church of Mahoya.
In the weeks prior to the main religious celebrations between the 1st and 3rd of May, these groups select the individuals who will carry out the main acts of the fiestas, choosing their fiesta queens, the individuals who will carry the cross in procession etc, and further strengthen the communal society bonds within their groups with "half year fiestas" which take place in November, a sociable event involving entertainment and shared meal.
Cross of Abanilla
The main religious events revolve around the celebration of the true cross of Jesus, the Santísima y Vera Cruz over the period of 1st-3rd May. This is a reliquary which contains splinters from the cross on which Christ is crucified and were supplied with certification from the Vatican after the original reliquery disappeared during the Spanish Civil War. (Click for more information about the Cruz de Abanilla)
Events on the 3rd May
5am Pasacalles with drum through the streets
6am Diana floreada wake-up call through the streets with the band Unión Musical Santa Cruz, collecting pages and captains to take them to the church.
7.30am Holy mass in the Iglesia de san José.
Following the mass, the Romería to the Ermita de Mahoya takes place at about 8am, with the Santa Cruz carried in procession, accompanied by the Unión Musical Santa Cruz and hundreds of townspeople. The Romería begins with a noisy musket salute from the arcabuceros, around 225 of them, the musketeers. They continue to fire at fixed points along the route, which makes progress of the procession slow.
This romería only covers a distance of around 2km, but takes over 3 hours due to the quantity of people who attend, the regular stops, and the process of firing off muskets in honour of the patrona en-route.
On arrival at the hermitage the Santa Cruz is formally presented to the waiting crowds from beneath a canopy on the side of the hermitage, beneath which hangs a large pomegranate. Following this the captains undertake the flag waving ceremony, which consists of waving the flag half to the right, then half to the left, followed by two complete passes to both the left and the right. This is repeated four times. Following this, a child pulls a cord which opens the pomegranate, from which doves fly out, also releasing a shower of water which bathes the cross. Following this, mass is celebrated in the hermitage and the townspeople disperse to enjoy family picnics in the park area surrounding the hermitage.
The cross then returns to Abanilla, stopping off at the Ermita de Santa Ana where the flag waving takes place once again.

15 April 2021
Virtual events have been happening for quite some time now, but they have taken centre stage in our life the past year or so. There is an ongoing discussion on their advantages and disadvantages, but we will get to that in another post. In this blog, we want to present five steps that can help you organise a virtual event.
A virtual event is any event taking place online rather than in a physical location. There is no size restriction, it can range from a small Q&A session to a large-scale conference with thousands of attendees.
There are several ways to host a virtual event. It can be an online discussion on Twitter where all participants are tweeting live, or a live stream on a social media platform, such as LinkedIn. There are also more formal formats for online events. A webinar is an online presentation held in real-time that can also be shared and viewed afterwards. Usually, a presenter shares their screen and goes through slides. Participants can interact by voice or through a chat feed. And of course, you can host a virtual conference on one of the hosting platforms available. There is a plethora of hosting platforms like Remo, Gathertown, Zoom and others to choose from based on your needs and their functionality.
A virtual event is only a little bit different from an in-person event. At least in terms of steps you need to take when planning it.
Step 1: Define your event goals
Similarly, to when organising an in-person event, you need to think about what you aim to achieve by your event. Start by considering the following questions:
- Why are you having this event?
- Who would you ideally want to invite?
- What do you want your attendees to walk away with?
- What do you consider as a success and how are you going to measure it?
Step 2: Choose the right event platform
Now that you have your goals, it is time to choose how your event should be structured. As we mentioned above, there is a variety of formats. Some examples of format and respective platforms are:
- live discussion – Twitter, Discord, Reddit, Slack and many more
- social live streams – Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and others
- webinar - Crowdcast, Livestorm, Zoom, YouTube Livestream and others
- conference – Remo, Brella, HeySummit, 6Connex, Run the World, Vfairs and many more
There are a lot of options. Keep in mind that when it comes to choosing your platform, functionality is important. This means you'll have to think about what you want to offer to your attendees, for example chatting options, breakout rooms, whiteboard options etc. Prioritise your needs: do you want a ticketing system, a pre-registration space, web or mobile content, an event page, security features, exhibitors' booths, etc. And, of course, think about your budget and how easy you find the navigation of each platform.
Step 3: Structure your event
Develop your schedule, invite your speakers, and send out invitations. All events need a coherent structure that keeps attendees engaged and offers networking opportunities. You have chosen your platform based on your goals, so now it is time for its functionality to achieve them.
Creating your content is crucial for delivering the online event experience you want for your attendees. Promote the themes of your event and your speakers in advance, and make sure you capture those interactions so that you can feed them in your event. Events are like a living organism, they have their first conception and structure, but they evolve. This brings us to our next step.
Step 4: Expect the unexpected
It is a bit of a cliché, but the truth is that no matter how well prepared you are or how many hours you have spent planning each detail of your event, there can always be hiccups. Last-minute changes, delays or technical problems can happen in any event. Prepare contingency plans and arrange a back-up plan.
Things will go significantly smoother if you share your platform with all attendees well before the day of the event. Sharing a demo or a tutorial can help everyone familiarise themselves with the platform and lower the chance of people asking for help. Do a specific session for your speakers since they will see a slightly different side of your platform. That being said, it's always a good idea to have someone dealing with issues on the day. Ask your platform provider if they have any tutorials or if they can offer support during your event.
Step 5: Get feedback
Although this step usually happens after your event, it should be part of your planning process. Ask for feedback, run surveys or polls during and after your virtual event. It is meaningful data that can guide you to make changes and help you keep track of best practices.
Organising a virtual event takes time and effort, but it is not that much different from an in-person event. Virtual events are an effective way to reach a bigger audience, and they are also more environmentally friendly. Have you got an innovative idea that enables biologists to collaborate productively while minimising their impact on the environment? Apply for a Sustainable Conferencing Grant.
We want to start a discussion with our community on sustainability and new event formats. Do you have an idea, question, or experience you want to share? Contact us via email at email@example.com.

Infor France donates 342 kilograms of business attire and accessories to La Cravate Solidaire
The clothes help make the job applicant. It's true, a professional appearance is a key factor in whether a job candidate is hired. Those who lack the right clothes are often at an immediate disadvantage.
But provide disadvantaged job seekers with quality business clothes and interviewing skills good enough to level the playing field, and they have a fair shot.
Nathalie Lopez — Infor WMS solution consultant manager and community engagement ambassador for Infor France — pondered these truths when she decided on the team's fall charity event. From Oct 19 through Dec 8, all employees in the three Infor France offices — Lyon, Nantes, and Rueil-Malmaison (Paris) — could participate in collecting new and gently-used quality business attire and accessories for women and men, including outfits, suits, blouses, shirts, skirts, scarfs, ties, shoes, jewels, cufflinks and handbags, for donation to the nonprofit La Cravate Solidaire (The Solidarity Tie).
La Cravate Solidaire offers quality business attire to all who cannot afford to buy suitable clothes for a job interview to help improve candidates' chances in their job search. The charity also provides image counselling so candidates feel more confident in their "new" clothing, as well as resume, cover letter and interview tips.
"Our request to employees to donate slightly used or new clothing and accessories was received very favorably," Nathalie said. "Most employees participated."
A big room in the Paris office was used for storage, with garment racks for suits and clean boxes for clothes and accessories. Each clothing, bag, and pair of shoes was carefully sorted, selected and packaged. Two employees drove the clothes dropped at the Lyon and Nantes offices to the Paris office to consolidate for delivery.
La Cravate Solidaire has a tradition of collecting a tie of the CEO of each company that partners with it. Infor CEO Kevin Samuelson kindly contributed one of his ties and so did Infor CHRO Ben Perry.
Infor CHRO Ben Perry ready to donate his tie to La Cravate Solidaire.
Why La Cravate Solidaire?
It all started in 2019. "We decided to launch a big charity event at Infor France to support a great social cause," Nathalie explains. "A lot of Infor employees are customer facing, and they wear quality business attire. We all have a lot of clothes and accessories in our wardrobes, so we chose the La Cravate Solidaire because we wanted to be part of the success of people who have been badly treated by life."
In early 2020, Infor France launched the first event for La Cravate Solidaire, and employees collected 380 kilograms of clothing and accessories. Remarkable!
"Because we were overwhelmed by the success of our first event and because solidarity plays a key role in our day-to-day lives, we launched a second collection event in October," Nathalie said.
Donation, celebration and presentation of the ties
To close the event with a celebration on Dec 8, La Cravate Solidaire staff came to the Infor Paris office at Rueil-Malmaison to weigh and collect all the Inforians' donations. Infor France employees donated 342 kilograms (754 pounds) of business attires, shoes, and accessories.
"Infor cares greatly about fighting workplace discrimination and ensuring equality of chances whatever your origins or life story," said Infor SVP Frédéric Russo. "That's why at Infor France, we're proud to support La Cravate Solidaire in their work to give those less fortunate a real chance at achieving a better life through new and improved job opportunities."
La Cravate Solidaire shared the Infor France event on LinkedIn.

BLOODY HAMMERS "Spiritual Relics" Album Details RevealedFriday, 2nd August 2013
American doom outfit BLOODY HAMMERS have completed work on their sophomore LP, Spiritual Relics. The follow-up to the eponymously titled debut, Spiritual Relics will be released worldwide on October 1 via Soulseller Records and boasts ten tracks revolving around ironclad themes of classic horror, stories from the coven, and chilling evil.
Additionally, Bloody Hammers has been hand-picked by former PANTERA and current DOWN frontman Philip Anselmo to perform as one of the featured acts at the inaugural Housecore Horror Film Festival, set to take place this October in Austin. BLOODY HAMMERS will share the stage at the festival with DOWN, EYEHATEGOD, GOBLIN, PIG DESTROYER, CROWBAR and more over the course of the three day fear fest.
"We didn't have any live shows booked when our self-titled album was released," said Anders Manga. "It was much more successful than anticipated, so we went back into the studio while waiting for tour dates to be confirmed. We're very pleased with the result and look forward to getting it out to the fans. The album is packed with more heavy fuzzed out eeriness and horror, as well as some chilled-out creepy southern gothic pieces. It will be released just in time for Halloween, and our performance at Phil Anselmo's Housecore Horror Film Fest in Austin."
Spiritual Relics track listing:
1. What's Haunting You
2. At the Well of Nazareth
3. The Transit Begins
4. The Source
5. Color Me Blood Red
6. Night of the Long Knives
7. Shiver
8. Flesh of the Lotus
