This story is about one of the priests that Noah hired to tell him that he was good and that everything he did was good. His name was Alma. Alma was one of the priests who had mixed yellow with red and made orange. They had gone around painting the walls orange. The pictures on the walls orange. The people in the pictures on the walls orange. They painted their clothes and hands and faces all orange. And so it had become very hard to see things. Because truth and untruth had been mixed together everywhere.
Abinadi saw all the orange everywhere and told the King to take it all down. But removing all that orange paint would be a lot of work. Maybe impossible. And so Noah and the priests said, "I like orange." But Alma looked at the orange paint and said, "Anyone can see that there is too much orange in this room. Let's fix it!"
By now you probably realize that the paint was not really paint at all. There was never any orange paint. It's just a metaphor for something else.
Metaphor a definition:
A metaphor happens when the best way to say what you mean is to say something else.
In this instance, it's hard to explain how truth and untruth mix and stick to our lives. And it's hard to talk about how difficult it is to separate truth and untruth once they've been mixed. And how that makes change difficult. This is hard to explain by itself. So instead we talk about paint. We talk about how paint mixes and sticks to our walls, and hands, and clothes. And when paint is on your wall or hands or clothes it is hard to remove.
And because you understand something about paint, you understand something about yourself. That's what we are really talking about. We are talking about how good and bad mix together inside of each of us. You will never be all good in this life. And you will never be all bad. You will always be a mixture. You will always be orange.
It's easy to get discouraged by that, or to feel ashamed. If you have never felt ashamed before, you will someday. You will do something bad, or make a mistake, and you will feel like you can't look anywhere but at your toes. Or you will wish the ground would open up like a mouth and swallow you so no one will ever look at you again. Because you feel ashamed. Because it isn't always easy to be orange.
But even though you will feel ashamed sometimes, eventually, maybe after years and years, you will learn that you are orange, and your neighbor is orange, and your parents are orange, and everyone around you is orange. And there is some comfort in that.
But Noah and his priests couldn't accept that they were orange. They believed that God would not love them until they were perfect. And so they told themselves they were perfect even though they knew it was not true. Because they didn't like to be orange, because they didn't understand God.
Alma was different. He accepted God's love even though he was imperfectly orange. He knew that God did not love him because he was yellow or red or orange or green or blue. God loved him. That was all. And because God loved him, God could transform him. He saw how God had transformed Abinadi, when Abinadi lit up like a flashlight.
Alma realized it didn't matter if he was orange all over. He didn't need to be ashamed. He could make mistakes, and he could try again, and that was alright. Because underneath his skin, at the very core of his soul, there was God. And God is good. And God loved him.
Noah and the other priests wouldn't listen to Alma. They sent him away. And so Alma found other people to tell about Abinadi and about God. And they decided to try an experiment with God. They said, "God, we will love you and we will be baptized. And we will accept your love even though we are orange all over. And we will see what happens."
And one of the most amazing things happened. The people started to love each other and they even began to love themselves. If they saw anyone in need, they helped. They gave away all of their money. And shared everything they owned. They weren't jealous or ashamed. They felt sad if someone was sad. And they were happy when others were happy because they were connected together in love. And so they said, "God, this has been better than anything we could have imagined." And it was. And they were happy.

N.S.Venkataraman 8 January 2019
Ever since the great revolutionary and philosopher Karl Marx gave his clarion call to the workers around the world a few centuries back, that the workers had nothing to lose except the chain, the world trade union movement was virtually established. Since then, the workers by their consistent struggle and by raising demands, have largely achieved the objectives of the concept of the trade union movement that Karl Marx initiated.
Now, in the last few decades, the trade union movement around the world has gone full circle and has taken different style and shape, making people wonder as to whether the present day pattern of the trade union movement is what Karl Marx envisaged. Many people think Karl Marx would have disapproved the functioning style and mechanism of the current day trade union movement. Possibly, denouncing the present day trade union movement, Karl Marx would have given another call that the workers in the world have nothing to lose except the vice-like grip of political leaders who have virtually taken over the control of the trade unions and have effectively converted it into a political organization with different political leanings. This is particularly true in India, where no trade union has no affiliation to one political party or the other.
Today, the employees in the government departments in India and public sector organizations go on strike very frequently under one pretext or the other, as per the dictates of the political leadership to serve the interests of the political masters.
The strike calls have become so frequent that the common man does not anymore care to know as to what is the reason for the strike and most people have come to think that the frequent strike by the government employees including teachers in government schools and colleges, bank staff, employees in postal department and doctors in the government hospitals have become the new normal in India today.
While the calls are given to strike very frequently, on most occasions they are not for any justifiable reason. The government employees go on strike protesting against the privatization of public sector units, most of which are sick and not profit making and merger of weak public sector banks with stronger ones which are sought to be done to optimize the performance etc. Such matters have to be discussed in parliament and are not subjects to be dictated by the trade union leadership to resorting to strikes and agitations.
The demand for wage revisions are under one pretext, or the other is common justification to go on strike, though the government employees and those in the other public sector organisations like banks, postal departments, etc. are by no means poorly paid. All of them enjoy considerable benefits apart from gross monthly pay commensurate with their responsibility, and justifiably they can be termed as belonging to middle or upper-middle-income group. One should keep in view that 30% of the Indians who are not employed in government departments or public sector undertakings live below the poverty line not knowing where their next meal would come from. The government employees never care to think about their plight while all the time is thinking about their demands. The government employees are indeed not so impoverished to justify going on strike demanding wage revisions, using the strike as a first and immediate weapon.
What is particularly brutal about the Indian trade union leadership is that the decision to go on strike is taken by a cadre of politically inclined leaders, who have a stranglehold over the leadership. The mass of employees are not consulted, and they are dictated to join the strike.
On many occasions, just like the ordinary men, most of the government employees themselves do not understand the justification to go on strike. Feeling helpless, they participate in the strike unwillingly and routinely. On the strike days, not many employees come out and demonstrate but go for picnics and enjoy the holiday mood on strike days.
It is noteworthy that no employee is daring enough to defy the strike call, as the dictator like the leadership of the trade union movement would ensure that such defying employees are isolated and humiliated in one way or the other and may be harassed.
It is unfortunate that Indian trade union leaders do not have the practice of conducting a poll amongst the employees before giving a strike call to know their opinion and get their approval for going on strike. Such healthy practices are prevalent in some developed countries but not in India.
The ground reality today is that trade union movement as inspired by Karl Marx has lost its face and is no more considered as a movement of the oppressed class.
Indian trade union movement needs reform, and this can happen only if the employees in government departments and public sector undertakings and other organizations who hold the country and government to ransom by frequent strike calls, can free themselves from the political leadership and the control of the self-seeking vested interest.
The public disappointment and frustration with the present functioning pattern and style of Indian trade union movement would perhaps, bring around the much-needed changes in the structure and the fabric of trade union movement in India sooner or later and maybe, sooner than later.

On the night of 14-15 August, 1947, when Pandit Nehru was busy with his Tryst with Destiny, S Radhakrishnan was cautioning the newly independent nation about the dangers of corruption, particularly in high places. He said, "unless we destroy corruption in high places, root out every trace of nepotism, love of power, profiteering and black marketing, which have spoiled the good name of this great country in recent times, we will not be able to raise the standards of efficiency in administration."
Neither the philosopher-statesman's words were taken seriously nor did Nehru's threat to hang the corrupt to the nearest pole have any effect. However, the then lawmakers did make an earnest attempt by legislating the Prevention of Corruption Act, which has undergone several revisions, the latest being the Prevention of Corruption [Amendment] Act, 2018.
The proposed amendments are a bouquet of flowers and thorns. The amendment seeks to bring uniformity in some of the terms used in the original Act. Words like 'illegal gratification', 'pecuniary advantage' or 'valuable thing' used to indicate illegal benefit gained by a public servant are replaced by 'undue advantage' throughout the Act bringing it in tune with the UN Convention Against Corruption, which India has adopted.
The scope of offences relating to public servants has been widened and some explanations provided to make things clear. Now, accepting or attempting to obtain undue advantage is in itself an offence even if the performance of public duty is not or has not been improper. Further, it makes no difference whether undue advantage is obtained directly or through a third party.
Delay in prosecuting and punishing corrupt officials has been a major reason for corruption. In a large number of cases the corrupt officials go scot-free, either they retire from service or die during trial. The amendment imposes a time limit on the trial period. It must be concluded within two years.
The judge concerned has to record the reasons for any delay beyond this period. In any case, the case must be wrapped up within four years. This is a noteworthy step. The punishment to a public servant found guilty of corruption is not less than three years but may extend to seven years. Besides, the guilty is liable to pay fine.
In the last six decades, attempts were made to curb the demand side of corruption. However, the new thinking seems to be to make the supply side liable. While the intention is laudable, it is doubtful if this is possible in Indian conditions. No citizen would willingly bribe a public servant. It is not voluntary. It is a sort of extortion.
A common man is forced to pay bribe because non-payment will lead to delay and denial of a particular service. Differentiating between 'coercive bribery' and 'collusive bribery' is difficult and this issue has been dealt with by the Standing Committee. Yet, the move is worth giving a try.
The amendment envisages a punishment with imprisonment for a term of seven years and/or fine to any person who gives or promises to give an undue advantage to another person with the intention of inducing a public servant to perform a public duty improperly. However, a citizen who is compelled to give such undue advantage will not be punished provided the harassed citizen reports the matter to the enforcement authorities within seven days.
The amendment has a space for well-meaning citizens and also commercial organisations to bring corrupt public servants to book. A citizen can inform authorities about the demand for bribe even before giving it. While the scheme on paper looks good, how many citizens will take this route?
The experiences of the Income Tax department, the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the Central Vigilance Commission, etc., are not encouraging. This provision needs to be supported by a whistleblower protection machinery. However, in case of commercial organisations, it is essential that it has to prove that it had in place adequate procedures to prevent persons associated with it from undertaking such conduct.
The need for obtaining prior sanction to carry out investigations against public servants is liable to misuse — permissions may be granted or not granted, both due to ulterior motives of the sanctioning authority. This has been debated for long but no solution has been found.
The amendment states that the investigating agency will have to obtain prior sanction before proceeding with an inquiry, whether the official is in service or has retired. Though the sanction has to be given by a 'concerned authority', who this authority is, is not clear.
Under the Lokpal and Lokayukta Act [not yet implemented], Lokpal and Lokayukta were empowered to give sanction for investigation. However, what is noteworthy is that sanction should be given within three to four months. What happens if sanction is not given in that timeframe is not clear. The concept of 'deemed sanction' in such cases would have made the law a bit more effective.

Online Event: PFAS: Challenges and solutions
Monday 29 November 2021, 14:00 – 16:00 CET
Hosted by MEP Christophe Hansen
Co-Chair of the 'Water Management' Working Group of the European Parliament Intergroup on 'Climate Change, Biodiversity & Sustainable Development'
Under the European Green Deal, the European Commission adopted the Zero Pollution Action Plan in May 2021 and the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability in October 2020. The strategies identify air, water and soil pollution as a threat for the environment, biodiversity and human health.
PFAS is a group of persistent chemicals, commonly known as 'forever chemicals'. Some of them bio-accumulate, are toxic and mobile. Diffuse and point-sources of PFAS pollution affect the environment including water resources. Once in the aquatic environmental, these substances are extremely difficult to remove while natural degradation can take many decades.
The new Drinking Water Directive sets stringent threshold values for PFAS, in order to protect human health. Due to multiple pathways, this will however not avoid human exposure to PFAS or their accumulation in the environment. With this in mind, the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability established an action plan for PFAS, including a ban of all non-essential PFAS uses, taking into account the Zero Pollution ambition.
In the meantime, many PFAS-related legislative and non-legislative developments are taking place in the EU as well as worldwide. In order to explore the various initiatives and the way these may contribute to realizing the goals of the European Green Deal, the Working Group on 'Water Management' of the European Parliament Intergroup on 'Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development' organizes an online meeting, bringing together EU decision-makers, regulators, the business community, and civil society.
Final Agenda:
14:00 – 14:10: Opening remarks by MEP Christophe Hansen (video-message intervention)
14:10 – 14:20: Keynote intervention by Valentina Bertato, Policy Officer at B2 Unit on Sustainable Chemicals, DG ENV, European Commission
14:20 – 15:10: Panel discussion:
- Bjorn Hansen, Executive Director, ECHA
- Nicolas Robin, Director, Fluoropolymers Products' Group, Plastics Europe
- Claudia Castell-Exner, President, EurEau
- Tatiana Santos, Policy Manager for Chemicals and Nanotechnology, EEB
15:10 – 15:30: Q&As discussion with the audience
15:30 – 15:40: Closing remarks by Marieke Schouten, Rapporteur on the Zero Pollution Action Plan, Committee of the Regions

We're not obsessed with Passive Houses, we swear. It's just that writing about the one going up in Arlington made us think to check back in on the one in Bethesda and, lo and behold, it has come down in price. It started out at $1,578,000 and now it is $1,488,000. Such a tentative first step down the price ladder, but who knows it could go for that. There are a few million dollar homes in the vicinity.

Liphook Ramblers
The day was cold and frosty but with the sun shining it was perfect for the Liphook Ramblers 10 mile Christmas walk.
Starting at Benbow Pond on the A272 between Midhurst and Petworth, the group of 12 were heading off to the Horseguards Inn at Tillington to enjoy their Christmas Lunch. First stop was at Benbow itself where the Egyptian geese and the always present black swan came to say 'hello'.
To warm up we quickly made our way across country to the village of Lodsworth and on to Leggatts Hill where we found some nice big logs just right for sitting on while we enjoyed a warming cup of coffee or drinking chocolate.
No time to linger there, some muddy paths were waiting for us before we could get to our lunch stop at Tillington. We got through them and on to Upperton Common, climbing to meet the road near Petworth Park and before long we had reached the gate into the Park, where the deer were waiting. What a sight to see so many deer and so used to people, they stayed there for us to admire them.
No time to linger though as the pub and our Christmas lunch were only a short distance away. After a sumptuous meal which started with a glass of warming mulled wine, we set off on the return journey. First we walk along the wonderfully kept footpaths through the vineyards at Tillington, onto Pitshill and River before arriving back in Lodsworth. Here we stopped to look at St Peter's Well, which according to the nearby sign is 'of ancient origin'. Arriving back at Benbow Pond, with the setting sun, the Egyptian Geese and Black Swan were waiting to greet us again.
L&DR produce quarterly programmes of walks of various lengths which take place on Tuesdays, Saturdays and/or Sundays and on Wednesday evenings from May to mid August. Further details are available on their website

|Indian Royalties Case Official Retires
A top Interior Department official who a federal judge said deceived him about the agency's failure to reform a trust fund for Native Americans announced his retirement yesterday.
Neal A. McCaleb, 67, assistant secretary for Indian affairs, said he was proud of a 35-year track record of trying to build "real and lasting economic opportunities for American Indian people."
But McCaleb said that his efforts during the Bush administration were hampered by a long-running class-action lawsuit filed by Indian plaintiffs to secure an accounting of hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties from Native American lands held in trust by the government. The suit began before his appointment to the department.
"Unfortunately, the litigation has taken first priority in too many activities, thus distracting attention from the other important goals that could provide more long-term benefits for Indian Country," said McCaleb, who will leave Dec. 31.
Yeah, those darn Indians keep mucking everything up by trying to make the US government keep its promises. I mean, why waste your time trying to reclaim the money the government stole from you when the government could be spending its time doing other things?

Perhaps the biggest turning point in my career as a researcher and writer came the day that it dawned on me that receiving a "revise and resubmit" reader's report -- or any kind of professional feedback -- was a gift, not a curse and a condemnation. The first few times it felt like, no matter what I did, some "authority figure" was going to tell me how wrong or bad or stupid I was. Sound familiar?
Then I showed one of my early R and R's to a senior colleague. (This in itself was a big step.) "Can you believe this sexist response?" I began to fume. Fortunately, my wonderful senior colleague, Linda Wagner-Martin -- then at Michigan State University, and the single most prolific scholar I've known in my entire career -- stayed calm, heard me out and asked to read the reader's report. And then she said something like, "Oh, how lucky! Someone was willing to take time out of their own obligations to make sure your work would be publishable -- and is pushing you to be as good as you can be."
Thank you, Linda. That was decades ago -- a couple dozen books ago for me and maybe 100 or 200 for Linda. (Google her!) We even did a few massive books together. (See Oxford Companion to Women's Writing in the United States.) I've never forgotten that lesson from my days as a new, shaky assistant prof who came to my first tenure-track job after three years adjuncting all over the place. I'll say it again -- "Thank you, Linda Wagner-Martin."
In the event that you are not lucky enough to have a Linda Wagner-Martin in your life, I'm going to pass on a method of dealing with R and R's -- a perspective on it -- that works for me: Read it and think about it. Read it and use it. Read it and revise … It's all yours, offered not as a solution but simply as one possible method for coming to grips with what someone says about your work.
The point is that, whatever method you use, you should take control of the revision process. For me, the mental shift from "dreaded" to "amazing" comes when I take over the reports and translate them from "their critique of me" to "my action plan for me."
Here's what I do, especially if there are multiple readers' reports. I break it all down into microsteps, which -- at least, for me -- makes it easier.
Deconstructing the R and R
I begin by deconstructing the reader's reports. I use a template, which I describe later in this essay, in order to make the process as clean, clear, even mechanical (unemotional) as possible. Here are the specific steps I take:
- I print out the reader report(s) to make it easier to deconstruct them. (This is not the time to go paperless.)
- I make four categories that I'll explain in more depth later, into which I will put every single comment by each reader. I cut and paste everything from the reader's report onto separate pages for each category.
- I make each category its own sheet(s). I print these out and then I literally check off the boxes after I do something so I have a clear visual of completion and progress. (This is unlike editing online where your work disappears and your faults seem to stay, and stay, and stay!)
Then, I turn to my manuscript:
- I keep a clean original copy of my full manuscript -- exactly what the readers saw.
- I make an online copy of the manuscript using a visually and distinctly different font or type size or margins or color.
- I make my revisions, both by hand and online, on this new copy, leaving the original pristine. At some point(s), I also want a physical copy of the revision so I can see how much I'm accomplishing. Other times, I don't want to see the process -- only how the final version is coming along.
Rewarding myself with progress on these steps is essential for an R and R.
The Template
Here are the four categories into which I put every comment from each reader. I've also provided recommended actions to take with each one.
No. 1. Praise. I list any complimentary comments according to Reader A, Reader B or both. I put in page numbers if they are available.
Action: I don't touch anything that both readers love, and you shouldn't, either. Be very careful changing anything even one reader loves if the other one doesn't mention it. The easiest way to defeat yourself with an R and R is to revise the good parts that don't need revision.
No. 2. Small, easy, fixable things. These include typos, fact errors, run-on sentences, clarity points and the like. Again, I list these according to Reader A, Reader B or both.
Action: I like to fix simple things first. I literally go through the new manuscript in its new revision 2 font and make all these changes. Every time I make a change, I check it off on my No. 2 sheet: Small, Easy, Fixable Things. This is a great psychological warmup for tackling the next step.
No. 3. Large, conceptual, and structural revisions. This is where I do much more extensive work on the piece.
Action: Sometimes I do this with a trusted writing group or friend. I like to make the revision first, then show someone the before and the reader's comment and the after and get feedback. It's easy to get lost. I do not have a method for whether to do both or the one or the other first. But I like to get feedback on how I'm doing any time I feel stuck.
No. 4. Paranoid readings of readers' reports. This is what I think is actually happening in reader's reports but that they aren't saying. Vocalized, paranoid readings usually go something like: "I'm sure I know who Reader A was. He's a misogynist and hates feminist work."
Paranoid readings overemphasize critique and undervalue the readers' support. In my experience, paranoid reading is typically wrong.
NB: I was editor of American Literature for a decade and heard versions of this paranoid reading dozens of times, including guesses about the specific person who must have written the report. About 99 percent of the time, people were wrong in their guesses. Often, it was not some enemy from a different critical camp but a friend/colleague who offered critique in the hopes that it would make the final essay even stronger.
Action: The only thing to do with any such paranoid feeling is to label it: "This is my suspicion, my paranoia. This is not actually in the reports. I'm going to just leave it there and not change a thing in the essay to feed this paranoia. It's like trolls: Don't Feed the Paranoia."
I have used this method for a few decades, on both scholarly and trade nonfiction and on fiction, too. I hope you might find it useful to see what someone who has written lots of books, articles, papers and talks does with reader's reports. You'll find your own method as you think about how to read and respond to feedback, and turn it from dreaded to amazing. I know revision can be difficult, but I also know what a gift good feedback is, and I am grateful.

Police Launch Safe Boating Campaign
We hit an 8-year high for boating related fatalities in 2017
Police want to kick off this boating season safely after Ontario hit an 8-year-high for water related fatalities in 2017.

Today (Friday) is the launch of the safe boating campaign for local police. Constable Jim Peter's, with the Marine Unit at Barrie Police, says they will be out patrolling Kempenfelt Bay and Lake Simcoe this long weekend.
Peters wants everyone to carry boating safety kits and check their vessels mechanics.
He says the little things matter, like having your kits set up properly with working batteries.
He also cautions boaters about drinking and the rules around that.
In Ontario: passengers may consume alcohol on board a boat in so long as it has a permanent toilet, cooking facilities, sleeping facilities and it is anchored or docked.
Peters hopes boating enthusiasts practice common sense this year and begin the season on a safe note.
Last boating season saw 31 deaths on the water, up from 23 in 2016. The leading cause in each of the past two years was attributed to falling overboard and in 42 of those incidents the victims were found not (or not properly) wearing a personal floatation device.

This year I have worked very hard to put certain plants together to try to repel some of those evil plant killing bugs.I have to admit, there is not a total reduction but a significant one so far. It is still early though. Those buggers can multiply quickly! If you companion plant, what do you pair together and how is it going for you?
|corn planted with squash and beans ( you can barely see the beans over to the top left.)
|Borage with the tomatoes. The verdict is still out on this one. I found a worm on the tomatoes right behind the borage! And I see signs of others that I cannot find.
|Cucumbers planted with flowering radishes.
|Squash planted with Nasturtium and Marigold.
|And lets not forget my friendly bug eater...Hello Mr. Toad.
I also have onions planted all over the garden! Except in the bean bed. And carrots with the tomatoes. The cilantro is in full flower! I guess we will have to see how the season goes to see if it worth so much extra planning and planting things I don't really care for, like radishes. But they flower so it doesn't matter. How is your companion planting going?

I'm at the finishing stage on a kitchen knife I'm making as a Christmas present. The grip scales are maple burl. I originally thought it was stabilized wood, but based on how it has soaked up BLO over the past couple of days, I think the wood was untreated. In the past, I've either used stabilized wood or hard oily woods like desert ironwood, so I didn't use any finish...just sanded to 600 grit and buffed with various compounds. For this knife I want a somewhat glossy finish, but I want something that will stand up to handling. I know I could just buff out the BLO and call it a day, but I think over time it'll get pretty dull. I have wipe-on finishes like Minwax Antique Oil and Formby's Tung Oil Finish (both wipe-on varnishes) and can get ahold of wipe-on poly. I also have rattle-can lacquer available.
Any suggestions for something to use over the BLO?

- Stronghold Legends Mission Walkthrough
- 4 mins
This is a very unique mission - the map setup is very similar to High Passes from the Custom Skirmish section. And while at first this mission may appear exceptionally difficult, it's actually a gift. But only if you move extremely quickly. The estates are so small that once you destroy buildings the AI cannot build anything until you move out of their estate - and in fact due to lack of resources, they might not be able to place them again anyway. The flip side to this is, of course, that if the enemy attacks you and breaks through your wall, the same thing will happen to you.
You also start the mission with both an Ice Tower and Sorcerer's Tower - a very unique combination. Once your Ice Tower is destroyed, you cannot place another so make good use of it. You'll also need to repeatedly check the number of Archers on your walls (throughout this mission) as Giant demonic bats are persistently sent over towards them and you will rapidly lose the number of Archers you have. Sell anything in your Stockpile - and some things in your Granary if you need to - in order to recruit enough Archers to protect your walls while you're away.
To start the mission, place your Granary somewhere in your Castle. The very first thing you should do is purchase a Frost Giant from your Ice Tower. Send him North of your position and immediately destroy the gatehouse of the first Vlad. Cause absolute havoc inside, but focus on destroying the Sorcerer's Tower first. Then destroy the Barracks, Armoury and Granary. Now you can destroy whatever buildings you would like inside the estate. Purchase an Ice Queen when you can, along with as many Werewolves as possible. Send them all into the estate along with your own lord and all your White Witches.
Firstly use your Ice Queen's 'Power of Winter' special attack to Freeze Vlad, then send in all your Werewolves to attack him. Finally, use your own lord's power to summon Werewolves on top of the keep and overwhelm Vlad. That's the first lord killed. Now send your Frost Giant quickly towards the castle North East of your own Keep. Follow the same process; destroy the Gatehouse, rush in and destroy the Sorcerer's Tower - then Barracks and if lucky before he dies, the Armoury. You'll notice that due to lack of resources (I assume?) the AI does not rebuild their castle there - so purchase another Frost Giant once your old one dies, and send him off the finish the work.
Also purchase as many Hell Hounds as possible, selling anything necessary. Send them all in to kill all the Archers in the towers. Now pause for a quick moment while you recover, send over your White Witches, send in your Hell Hounds to the keep and Ice Queen - do exactly the same process; Freeze the lord, then send in all your troops to attack him.
You will probably find yourself coming under heavy bombardment now from the final Vlad, so there is no time to rest as he will shortly be sending out a Siege - if he hasn't done so already. You must recruit as many Hell Hounds as possible in order to defend your castle during this Siege. You will win if you can recruit around 20-30 - just make sure you hold a defensive position and keep them together. In the meantime, you don't have a choice and must move straight on again to attack the third and final Vlad. This time, you'll approach from the opposite gatehouse from where your own estate is.
Destroy the Gatehouse with a Frost Giant, destroy the Sorcerer's Tower, Barracks, Armoury then send in all your Hell Hounds & White Witches to kill of Archers and any other troops nearby. You've made the hard part. But your economy is probably broken, and you have very few Hell Hounds left (I had 9 at this point). Take a few moments to re-place your Granary, buy some food and place a new wood camp. You'll unfortunately have to wait until your popularity level goes back up to a positive figure, but you can now afford to wait as long as you keep your remaining Hell Hounds on Vlad's estate. I also brought in my remaining White Witches and Vlad himself for when I did eventually storm the keep as I could use his special power once more.
Wait a few moments for your economy to build back up slightly, and then start selling more wood and buy spears. Recruit some men-at-arms, and send them to capture the final estate on the map, in the centre, which Vlad has probably captured. After this move them ontop of the Gatehouse with your other troops. You may also need to buy enough Stone to rebuild your Sorcerer's Tower. Once you have around 30-40 Hell Hounds, you're ready for an attack to his Keep. Firstly, send forward one or two Hell Hounds with the lowest life to attack Vlad. He will use his power to Summon Werewolves - wait a moment until those one or two Hell Hounds are dead and he Werewolves have gone, then send forward your main attack. Victory!

Better self. Better world.
September Contemplation: Well, Hello Fall
Monthly Post #2: Falling Up when Falling Down
I used to think, When I turn 30, I'll get it together—it being everything in my life.
Then 30 came and went.
Then I thought, When I turn 40, I'll get it together.
Then that decade passed.
Then at age 50, a whole half century of living later, I thought, Holy crap, my life is a holy mess. Maybe I'll never get it together.
And that my fellow humans is the best wisdom I could have thought. I could stop trying to have everything in my holy crap life put together.
What a relief.
You Don't Have to Be. Sometime during the past year, I read this, "You have reason to be, but you don't have to be." I wrote those words on my white board by my desk to read over and over, day after day—a reminder that even when I have reason to "not have it together," I don't need to stay in that place. Every day is a new beginning.
Like you I suspect, I sometimes have good reason to be angry, frustrated, or upset—somebody misunderstands me, accuses me, attacks me; somebody drives too fast, too slow, drives as if they are the only one on the road. In other words, somebody acts like a broken, imperfect human. The nerve.
Value in Self-awareness. I have reason to be, but I don't have to be, at least not forever. At my age, I finally see the value of self-awareness. What exactly is it that gets me riled? And why? Regardless of who is doing what to me, understanding how I react, sheds light on how I can be my best self through whatever happens in my day.
I am mostly a patient person, so when I get agitated, it's worth time, energy, and effort to figure out the what and the why behind it. This can be hard, but now I know that when my stomach gets knotted, my neck and right shoulder tighten, my breathing becomes shallow, and I puke out an avalanche of stumbling dislocated words, I know something's up.
Hummm, you think so?
I used to not pay attention to my insides. It was as if all that knotting and tightening and shallow breathing and puking was a disruption. And who needs that? Push it aside. Overlook. Don't get angry, frustrated, or upset. It is not Christ like, lady like, proper like. It's just not right.
It is wrong to feel emotions that aren't happy or good. And it's even worse if those emotions escape and collide. So, suck it up.
Listen to Self. And that's exactly what I had learned to do—to not listen to what the heck was going on inside. These days I recognize that feelings and emotions serve a purpose, the uncomfortable ones usually being red flags to stuff worth recognizing with at least a casual nod, or maybe a discussion, or sometimes with more dissection. Knowing what to do with emotions and feelings though, can be trickier than actually recognizing them. I wish there was a manual that said, "When this happens, do that. And when that happens, do this." Just plug in a formula and pull the handle, like a carnival game.
Grace and Accountability. But alas, life is not that easy. The older I get, the more I am convinced that getting my holey life right, is more about the holiness in my wrongs, and in the process sorting through who I am and am not. I am not perfect. Yet, I am good enough. This does not justify or excuse unintentional (and especially intentional) wrongs against others. There's that peaceful place where both grace and accountability coexist.
I'm not sure from where this story originated. I sat at my computer this week and started typing and this is what came out. I suppose with pumpkin-and-spice fall around the corner and exploring the theme, "falling up when we fall down," the idea of "we have reason to be, but we don't have to be," had incubated long enough on my white board. It was time to harvest.
Holy Crap My Life is a Holy Mess. Self-awareness helps me better understand the whys behind "I have reason to be," but more importantly how to move into "but I don't have to be" angry, frustrated, or upset forever. I can live my holy crap life, not always having everything put together, but finding satisfaction in focusing my efforts toward falling up when I fall down.
What a relief.

Gaurab ThakaliPower, Community
A bunch of kids who grew up playing in church and going to English clubs, who wanted to make a mix of Afro-Beat, Nigerian Highlife, Dub, Dancehall, and Jazz. If you've heard of Yussef Dayes, Nubya Garcia, Alfa Mist or Mansur Brown, then you're privy to what's going on in the UK's now fully-fledged jazz scene. And if you are, then you might have seen some of the work of Gaurab Thakali.
Coming up out of the underground in the last decade, the UK's young jazz scene is exciting and groundbreaking, maintaining the tradition of small and medium sized combos playing, even now, intimate and celebratory live shows to bring young people back into jazz music.
The music that has been birthed in this movement owes a huge part of its success to the tight-knit community creating it, playing on each other's recordings and at one and others' gigs, but also the artists that collaborate with those musicians. Gaurab Thakali is one of those people who is helping bring attention to this scene, himself always in the loop. Born to Nepalese parents, Londoner Thakali fell in love with jazz when his university mates introduced him to the sound and the culture of it. From then on, he became inseparable from that world. He has worked with Church of Sound, Brownswood Recordings and Nicholas Daley on a myriad of projects.
Designing album covers and concert posters as well as merch, Thakali's illustration style is vibrant and to-the-point but uses a kind of compositional language that deifies his subject matter. This is especially evident in his portraits of jazz legends such as John Coltrane, Dorothy Ashby, Sun Ra and Pharoah Sanders. He places these monumental figures in epic landscapes and situations and portrays them in color contrast with the tones that surround them, so that even if they are not necessarily grand in dimension one gets the sensation that they are much greater than what they appear. In so doing, Thakali translates an effect, that of the music and the sensation of awe that a listener would feel were they lucky enough to see some of these musicians live. That sense that you are witnessing something.

Sample Thesis Paper
According to this article the expectation is that the dollar will improve in performance in this year. This is in comparison with other currencies like the euro, pound and the Japanese yen. This is supported by the sings of the improvement of the economy.
Such improvements early in the year have been marked by decline of unemployment rates from 9.8% in December to 9.4%. This was due to the increase in investment in the private sector that created more jobs. At the same time the manufacturing industry also increased considerably in the last month of 2010 by up to 5.5%.

For many, even those that have gotten through their first year, the first week of school is a stressful, confusing, and daunting experience. In the weeks leading up to my first year of university, as the to-do lists and lists of things to remember grew along with my anxiety, I repeatedly asked myself a very loaded question: "How on earth do you plan to survive the first week of school?"
I did then what I sometimes do to calm my worried mind: I created a list of things to do to help me get past the first week of school. Different people depend on different things to get by, but I think these are a few items that everyone should have on theirs.
Pay the Robert Gillespie Academic Skills Centre a visit. When I first found out about the RGASC, I wasn't exactly crying with relief, but to tell you the truth, I was pretty close. The RGASC offers Facilitated Study Groups (FSGs), as well as one-on-one sessions with learning specialists, writing specialists, and other professionals who can help with note-taking, exam-writing, essay-writing, procrastination, and even reading techniques.
Get yourself organized. Write down all due dates, label your binders, buy your textbooks, get your U-Pass, and do whatever else you need to do to be prepared. It's a long list, but it takes such a short time to accomplish each task. So go ahead and do each one. That way, while you won't exactly be one step ahead, you won't be one step behind.
Make a promise to yourself not to cram. You won't keep it, but the guilt will make you study harder.
Find an ideal place that meets your study habits. It may be the library, the Meeting Place in the South Building, your dorm room, Spigel Hall, or a newly discovered haunt in the shiny new Instructional Building. Wherever it is, it should meet your needs for studying well.
Find out where the Health and Counseling Services are so you can find professional help easily when and if you're feeling down, depressed, and isolated. Take advantage of these professional services offered by the university. You've got nothing to lose.
Expect to feel overwhelmed, under-prepared, and confused in the near future. It WILL happen. Just remember: you're not the only one feeling this way during the first week of school. Just keep a clear head and carry on as best as you can, and you'll be fine.
Don't give up! It's only the first week!

♦PRE-CARE Before your Appointment
Exfoliate 3 days to a week before to get rid of any dead skin cells on your body Shave/wax areas, no laser treatments at least 4-6 weeks before working on the treated area
No tanning a week or 2 prior. Please make sure your skin is not tanned so that we can Match your correct skin tone. Doesn't apply to Inkless stretch mark revision
Try and have no alcohol a couple of days before & NO blood thinners 3 days before your appointment
Wear loose clothes the day of the appointment; the areas treated will be slightly tender.
Please eat a healthy, well-balanced meal before we meet and drink lots of water.
No lotion, oils, or sweat on the skin.
No Antibiotics= Being on antibiotics 20 days before treatment and 40 days after the treatment can slow down the healing process
No Intense Working out= Weight lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided at least 2-3 days before your session. Putting strain on your muscles can cause swelling and soreness, which may heighten the sensation of the tattoo and increase healing time. It can also cause your skin to stretch slightly, resulting in your tattoo being distorted when your skin returns to normal. ***Just a reminder: Pain receptors are heightened if you're menstruating, so please plan accordingly for procedure dates to avoid added discomfort.
DURING Your Skin Camouflage Appointment
We will use a numbing cream, so you should feel little to no pain,
We will make you as comfortable and relaxed as possible during your treatments. Some people actually fall asleep during their sessions!
The Color: We will evaluate your skin color at the beginning of each session and custom blend a color to match your skin tone. Or, if it's a dark scar, we will start the lightning process before going into the color matching.
During each appointment, Using an electric machine with a fine precision needle, a layer of pigment is added to the skin. This will be done until completely camouflaged and the skin tone matches.
You will be given aftercare & instructions on how to properly care for your skin
POST-CARE Aftercare Instructions for a Quicker Healing Time
It's a good idea to get familiar with how to take care of your medical tattoo (micropigmentation) after your procedure! Take a look at the aftercare so you can prepare yourself for what's to come after your session.
Basic Information
Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before touching your procedure area(s) to avoid infection.
Do not shower for 24 hours if possible. if showering in the first 24 hrs keep the area treated as dry as possible
First 3 days, cold compress the areas at least 3x daily for 10 minutes or as needed to reduce swelling. NO ICE just use a cold compress or ice-cold water.
If the treatment area is left uncovered, apply a thin layer of Aquafor (or something similar) 2-3 times daily with a gloved or cleaned hand or clean Q-tip for the first 3 days. We will supply you with aftercare to use in the first few days.
If uncovered, gentle soap can be used if needed. Pat dry only.
Things to Avoid After your Session
Do not submerge the treatment area in water for at least 7 days. This includes baths, pools, hot tubs, etc
Avoid heavy exercise for 3 days as excessive sweating can pull the pigment out. Keep a towel handy to pat dry the area while healing in the first 2 weeks when working out. Try to gently wipe off sweat as soon as possible.
Avoid harsh soaps, ointments, and lotions (other than those noted above) on the affected area for the first 7 days. Also, DO NOT use Neosporin or Bacitracin, antibiotic creams. They will pull the pigment out.
DO NOT pick at the newly forming scabs as your procedure heals! DO NOT scrub, rub, or any form of picking at the epithelial crust that forms. Instead, allow it to flake off by itself. Doing so will pull the pigment out! This is extremely important.
Avoid exposure to the sun. It is imperative that you do not expose your re-pigmented skin to direct sunlight, tanning booths, or any products which increase melanin (what gives your skin its color). After 10 days, wear sunscreen daily to maintain the integrity of the pigments.
Avoid makeup of any kind on your medical tattoo for 7 days following your procedure.
After 14 days, if you laser, you need to be sure the laser professional know your ink has Titanium Dioxide in it, as the laser treatment can affect the pigment.
Please Remember - The following is NORMAL
Stretchmark/scars will be dark during the healing process. Please don't panic. This can last up to 60-90 days until your skin is fully healed to its new fabulous skin tone! The process of Hyperchromia can be a natural part of the healing process. Though it can happen at any time during the healing stage it tends to be around the 2-3 week mark.
Slight swelling, itching, scabbing, light bruising, and dry tightness one week after the procedure.
Very dark and slightly uneven appearance.
Color change or color loss. As the scars & stretch mark area heals, the ink may turn red, then pink, then brown, or purple. Again...This is normal
The procedure area has to be completely healed before addressing any concerns. This takes at least two months (or 45-60 days) but could possibly take longer depending on your skin. Although we can get you in for your touch-up sessions sooner than that just remember final healing time takes at least 45-60 days after the last session.
Failure to follow aftercare instructions may result in infections, pigment loss, or discoloration.

What is a Weighted Gravity Blanket?
The idea of weighted gravity blanket therapy, also called deep-touch therapy, goes back to a basic human behavior known to calm us — being held. Clinical studies suggest that when certain pressure points on the body are stimulated by touch, the brain releases serotonin. This neurotransmitter is responsible for regulating various brain functions, including sleep and mood.
The key to this stimulation is the heaviness of the blanket, which is able to create a deep pressure. Aside from swaddles, this kind of pressure is present in hugs and when we stroke animals.
When you're stressed or anxious, you don't sleep well because your heart is beating too quickly. Weighted gravity blankets combat this by using "pressure therapy". This means applying a calming amount of pressure to your entire body, and especially to key pressure points, similar to the feeling of being held or hugged.
This gentle pressure relaxes you by activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers your heart rate and delivers an overall feeling of calmness to allow you to sleep better.
How they are Made
Weighted Gravity Blanket Weights
A weighted blanket is pretty much what it sounds like: a heavy blanket. However, there is more to a weighted blanket than just being thick and heavy.
The weight should be specific for the person who will be using it.
♦ Occupational Therapists advise 10% of a child's weight and 5% of an adult
♦ People with sensory issues or on the ASD often prefer a heavier weight
|Weight of Person
|Recommended Weight of Blanket
|2 – 4 Stone
12 – 25kg
Recommended for those aged 2 – 6
|3 kg
|5 – 8 Stone
31 – 50kg
|4 kg
|8+ Stone
50kg +
Most recommended for teenage girls & women
|6 kg
|10+ Stone
63kg +
|8 kg
|12+ Stone
76kg +
|10 kg

Excellent weighted blanket!
The amount of money I've spent on things to "help sleep". I was initially sceptical, I didn't want to get my hopes up just to have them dashed. All I can say is wow and amazing! An almost instantaneous effect .
Excellent quality and very fast delivery. Mary the product is amazing
Unexpectedly quick delivery and as soon as I pull the blanket up to my shoulders it's like a big hug and I'm ready for sleep. Also use it with my duvet so not even overheating. Didn't know I really needed it until I got it!
I ordered a blanket for my partner who has trouble sleeping and it is already working wonders! Mary is so accommodating and excellent to deal with, I am already recommending this service to anybody I know with insomnia etc. It's fab!
My husband bought me a lap pad which I use regularly to help with my anxiety I often drape it over my shoulder and it feels like an arm giving me a hug very comforting and a bonus it's from Waterford!
Lovely product, well made an very personalised service from Mary.My daughter loves her blanket and its having the desired effect helping to calm and ground her.
Can't thank you enough for Niamh's beautiful blanket. She absolutely loves it and won't travel without it. It's made a big difference at bedtime and she often chills during the day with it too

If you're a member of Gen X, you might remember a commercial in which a larger-than-life, permanently tanned Baby Boomer claimed loudly, "I liked this electric razor so much that I bought the company!"
For Scottish ex-pat Andrew Morrison, his work life began during that era as a global supply chain professional for multiple Fortune 500 companies. "I began to dislike having a boss and not caring about my work; I was bored," he said, "but I found myself in Texas and enjoyed it." He bought a Corvette restoration shop and took on rebuilding and customizing the fiberglass sports cars. "I didn't really like them, but they were a stepping-stone; I really wanted to do TVR's!"
Andrew realized that Texas had plenty of Corvette shops, but far fewer Land Rover shops. As one who grew up around Land Rovers, he knew that "with a Defender, you can pull out a barn find, and any abused farm vehicle can be brought back to life. Most of the ones we get are 25-years-old or more, but they all still run. I have learned that in the US, enthusiasts have different perspectives on the Defender and treat them much differently!"
While working at a shop, Andrew met then 22-year-old Laura Rodriguez. Laura grew up in Richardson with her sister, Amalia, and her mother, Norma Jamies. "I lived in a single-parent household all of my life. I saw how hard my Mom worked all her life, and I love and admire that about her. It's made me the strong person I am today."
In 2017, while still a student at the University of North Texas, she spied her first Land Rover Defender. "I loved the aesthetic of the vehicle. It looked so different from the Jeeps I saw all around me that I started to look into them." She joined Texas Rovers and scoped out Dallas-area shops about buying and maintaining Defenders, and at one shop, she met Andrew Morrison.
Those meetings resulted first in her purchase of a Coniston Green '97 NAS Defender 90, with 150,000 miles on it. Laura said, "I named her 'Jade' because she's a girl and she's green." After graduation with an Integrated Studies major, combining business law, communications and Human Resources, Laura's second step was the creation of Xerbera Automotive, in partnership with Andrew. In two years, the shop has grown to seven full-time technicians and three managers, completing 10-12 restorations and 8-10 refurbishments annually.
Laura enjoyed off-roading in her Defender, but really wanted to challenge herself and the Rebelle Rally [see Spring 2019 issue -ed.] captured her interest. "The Rebelle will allow me to test myself and get out of my comfort zone. I've never competed in anything like this, off-roading in a rally for 10 days!" She attended the Rebelle Rally navigation training at the Raspy Roost in Ocotillo Wells, VA, last May. "I'm one of those millennials who has never opened a paper map or used a compass. By the end of the weekend, I could read a topographic map and plot a course. It was awesome! All the women there were so helpful, so nice. Next September I'll attend the sand dune driving training, too."
Laura and Andrew decided that "if you're going to do this, you need to go big." Instead of running the event in her NAS Defender 90, they decided to build a Defender 110 Sceptre clone — the double-cab that delighted viewers of the James Bond film of the same name.
Their Sceptre will run a GM LS 3 6.2L V-8 with 430 hp and 434 ft-lbs of torque, paired to a GM 6-speed automatic transmission and Land Rover transfer case. The donor vehicle is a '92 Defender 110, under which they're sliding a Richards frame [the same one sold by Rovers North -ed.], a 2-inch lift, Ashcroft gears, and underbody protection.
With the build underway, Laura needed to find a navigator. She told a shop customer about her interest in the Rebelle and he linked her up with Kelsey Collins, Dallas, TX. The 23-year-old works with at her father's company, Black Mountain Jeeps. While Kelsey had competed in road rallies such as the One Lap of America, she'd never competed in an off-road rally [which only confirms our worst suspicions about Jeep owners -ed.] As Laura said with laughter in her voice, "Kelsey can scare me on-road doing 100 mph, but I can scare her off-road at 3 mph." Once they met in person, Laura knew "we would be perfect partners for each other."
At 24, Laura has the job and the Defender of her dreams. "Every day I feel so blessed and lucky. I am thankful that everything has come together so quickly, and that I have a job at which I'm so passionate. I told Andrew that I was willing to work day and night at our company, and he took me seriously. I'm the only woman at the shop; all the men are 40 years and older. They treat me professionally despite my youth." As for customers, "I find that Land Rover enthusiasts are a different kind of person. They don't belittle me; they take me seriously." Interestingly, many of those customers want a Defender but have never driven one. Laura noted, "We love to ask our potential clients, 'Have you ever driven a Defender?' We let them drive a stock one so they know what to expect — and maybe, what to improve."
The Xerbera Sceptre will make quite an impression on-road and off-road. To paraphrase the 1979 commercial, these Gen X and Gen Y Land Rover enthusiasts decided they liked Defenders so much that they created a company.
