As to the accidents of lenovo laptop battery occur recently, many users, especially for lenovo users, keep close on the event. To meet the requirements of users and defend the company brand image, lenovo has made an instruction.
After the report, Lenovo contacted sony to inspect the samples of certain laptop batteries. According to tests, the damage is related with the user habit which is of low probability. However, as the accidents have influence a large range of users, Lenovo also has taken some concerted steps.
Lenovo said, the battery lenovo F41 can get two years warranty. If anyone who suffered from the accident of rapid discharging or battery dead can contact lenovo service stations to have a test. If it is confirmed, he can get a free replacement laptop battery with a further one year warranty. So are those who have got the replacement from lenovo customer service.
With regard to the solution of lenovo, we think it is reasonable if the result of inspection is exactly true. The factors of user habit and battery quality are both the primary cause of this kind of accident.
As we've told that the laptop battery life will be reduced rapidly if not maintain properly. The work condition, running programs and charging method can all influence the battery a lot. Therefore, even if with the same laptop battery, the life span comes to be different from each other. We suggest that if someone who needs to work with external power supply for a long time, it is best to unplug the laptop battery to get the maximum performance and life span.
However, with more accidents emerged in the market, sony battery cells are doubted by many people. The veracity of sony inpection is really hard to say. Furthermore, the relative standard is still in the bud. Although the li-ion battery has benefited us a lot, the quality and stability need a further control.

Madame Chiang cost Taiwan NT$1 billion
The China Times today reported that Madame Chiang Kai-shek's upkeep in the US over the last 30 years of her life cost Taiwanese taxpayers NT$1 billion. During the last years of Madame Chiang's very long life, her niece Kong Ling-wei was chaffuered around by Madame Chiang's driver--also at taxpayer expense. President Chen rejected suggestions that Madame Chiang's retinue be reduced on two occasions since 2000.
The story is based on unnamed sources, presumably inside the Presidential Office who fed the story to the China Times with the clear intention of putting recent allegation of corruption over the of a housekeeper at the president's family residence in perspective.
President Chen's disabled wife Wu Shu-chen, in contrast, has no staff assigned to her, and she pays her private nurse out of her own pocket.
This is indeed one of the great mysteries of the Chen administration. Why didn't he shut down Madame Chiang's tax payer-funded lifestyle and make sure his children and relatives were not abusing his office (albeit lesser scale by far)? And why didn't his administration, elected on a reform platform, at least attempt to reform Taiwan's imperial presidency? If he had, he would have easily survived this concatenation of manufactured and trumped-up charges against him by the rabid Blue camp. But since he has failed to carry out his mandate, he is being punished by an angry, alienated electorate.

A man squats near a split elephant bone, sifting through one of many piles of half-decayed vegetable matter that will go into potions. Another assistant chops chunks of dry wood into small pieces, to be slotted into large pigeonholes containing roots and branches from various trees and bushes.
A row of jars behind one counter contains small squares cut from the pelts of animals: lions for power, oxen for strength, baboons for cunning.
A big jar of dice resembles something from an old-fashioned sweets shop. But this isn't a place for children. This is a place for sangomas, dismissed by some as witch doctors but sought out by the majority of South Africans as traditional healers.
And you're not on Harry Potter's beloved Diagon Alley, but on Diagonal Street, a rundown road in central Johannesburg.
Customers trickle into the shop soon after opening time, 7:30 a.m., and tourist buses arrive in a stream a couple of hours later. On Friday mornings, beggars pass through in a steady flow, each pocketing a coin handed from the counter.
The shop is a source of charms and ingredients for potions and medicines, or muti, prescribed by sangomas.
According to tradition, sangomas use psychic and supernatural powers, contacting dead ancestors and casting bone tablets to divine a person's maladies and prescribe cures. They treat not only physical ailments but psychological ills and even misfortune in love or business. People consult sangomas when a relative dies, or even if they are planning a long journey.
In African ritual, the perceived power in plants and animals is used to treat illnesses, ward off evil, bring luck, offer protection or guarantee the fidelity of a spouse or lover.
South Africa has about 200,000 sangomas. According to the country's Health Ministry, 70% of the population regularly consults them. Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang said in June that 80% of patients visit traditional healers before going to state hospitals or clinics for care.
The South African Parliament last year approved legislation that recognizes and regulates sangomas and herbalists.
One regular customer at Naidoo's muti shop, Ruth Mahlobo, 59, popped in for some powdered Kalahari devil's claw (an intriguing name, but it's actually a desert plant, Harpagophytum procumbens, with medicinal properties). She planned to burn it and hold her 2-year-old granddaughter, Sphokazi, in the smoke.
"It's just making her strong," she said, explaining that the child was going to be traveling a long way. She said she had more faith in traditional medicine than conventional Western therapy.
"It's not powerful for everything, but in some things it's good," she said. "If I have a cough or a headache or stomachache, I'll come."
Another woman came into the shop to buy plants to boil in a widow's potion for her mother, whose husband had died several days earlier. Widows must drink the potion for a year to cleanse themselves, according to tradition.
Fikile Kumalo, 23, came to buy some seeds and incense to be burned at a Methodist church conference. "I'm a Christian, but I believe in traditional medicines," Kumalo said. "I think there's quite a relationship between Western medicine and traditional African remedies."
The shop has a consulting room in the back, with a mat on the floor — along with bones, tablets and dice — where a sangoma sees patients and recommends cures. But most customers bring a list of ingredients from their own sangoma, who will brew up a potion.
Muti medicine has a dark side in Africa. Slayings to extract body parts are common, and the victims are often children because organs of virgins are considered purer. The victims' screams are supposed to attract the spirits, thus enhancing the medicine's power. Johannesburg even has a police unit devoted to muti killings.
Naidoo said his shop's main trade was herbal cures but that it also attracted some customers interested in black magic — mainly young white people.
"There's no satanic or black magic practiced here, although there's a lot of requests from the white community. They're usually youngsters, kids." Naidoo said he turns them away.
Naidoo's grandfather, who founded the business more than 60 years ago, was a specialist in ayurvedic medicine when he was brought from India by the British colonial rulers to work in the sugar cane fields.
During rule by the country's minority whites, Naidoo said, the business suffered because the regime stopped his family from digging up roots, foraging for plants and trading in herbs.
"Our shop was often raided by the so-called Parks Board, looking for various animal carcasses and herbs," said Naidoo, who carries his own lucky charm, mimosa seeds. He said business had thrived since 1994, when the African National Congress came to power in democratic elections.
The most pitiful customers in the shop are the patients seeking treatment for AIDS, which is epidemic in South Africa.
Tshabalala-Msimang, the health minister, is an outspoken critic of antiretroviral drugs widely used in the West against the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS. She promotes a diet of lemon, garlic and olive oil for AIDS sufferers, and said at a June conference that traditional medicines could offer an alternative to antiretroviral drugs because they were cheaper and easier to use.
Naidoo said most AIDS sufferers had been sent by traditional healers.
"Whatever herbs they buy, I believe there's hope," he said, reflecting the widespread skepticism in South Africa about antiretrovirals. "With AIDS, you try everything, Western medicine, traditional medicine."
Tourists ducking between the stacks of drums and metal staffs decorated with roosters and stars look amazed and delighted as they enter, scrambling to pull out cameras.
"I have never seen anything like it before," said Gideon Winward, 23, of Britain. "It brings to mind old films with healers and things like that. It surprises me that people still believe that stuff."
Naidoo said he tries to convince tourists that traditional cures are no less valid than Western medicines.
"When I speak to the tourists who come from America, it's just money, money, money, no respect. First they laugh. They say things like 'unbelievable.' But it's the reverse when I explain to them that they practice exactly the same thing, but in a different form.
"I gain so much joy from educating people from all over the world."

ROCHESTER � Brenda Epps has the money, and she has the materials.
But Epps� plans to rebuild the outdoor basketball courts at Rochester Area High School and have them named for her son, slain Rochester athlete Tyler Wade-Epps, have hit a snag. And all Epps wants is an answer from someone at Rochester Area School District as to why.
�I collected donations for the basketball court, but they want me to pay for something else,� Epps said Tuesday. �I just want a public response, and the people in the school board and the administration haven�t been willing to do that so far.�
Epps spent much of the summer collecting donations to pay to resurface the crumbling basketball court and said she did so with the district�s blessing.
�The engineers said it would be pretty simple, and that I had enough money and donated materials to take care of it,� she said, although she wouldn�t say how much money she had raised or the project�s estimated cost. �But then the district turned around and said they wanted me to do more.�
Administrators at the district asked her not only to pay for the resurfacing but also to repair the court�s drainage system � a cost that the district�s business office estimated at $72,000, Epps said.
�They told me it was that or nothing,� she said. �They saw me as a way to get something for free.�
Epps said she has a plan for the money she�s collected to honor her son � using it for scholarships � but she is concerned donors might object to that alternative.
�All I want is for them to say publicly that they don�t want me to fix their basketball court,� she said. �And I can�t even get them to do that.�
Epps didn�t get an answer at Monday�s school board meeting. She said she was cut off during the public comment session. She said she would try to get on the agenda for the next meeting, scheduled for Dec. 8.
Rochester Superintendent Carolyn Wilkovich did not return a call seeking comment. Peter Mike, the board member who heads the board�s building and grounds committee, could not be reached for comment.
Michael Pound can be reached online at email@example.com.
�Tyler Wade-Epps was shot and killed April 7, 2007, while visiting friends at Linmar Terrace in Aliquippa. Wade-Epps, 19, was close to finishing his senior year at Rochester Area High School, where he was a standout athlete.
�Aliquippa resident Dennis Hauser Jr. was convicted in September of first-degree murder in Wade-Epps� death. Hauser, who has yet to be sentenced, could face life in prison.

This beneficial fungi is known as mycelium, and one of the most important elements of a healthy eco-system.
What is Mycelium?
The term mycorrhizal comes from the Greek words mykes, meaning fungus, and rhiza, meaning root. Mycorrhizal fungi are fungi that have developed a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with the root systems of living plants, from garden vegetables all the way up to the trees of the Old Growth forests. Networks of mycorrhizal filaments envelop the seedling's root structure, supporting the plant's own ability to utilize water and nutrients in the soil. This relationship encourages healthy, vigorous growth.
In the urban environment most of this natural occurring benifical fungi gets destroyed leaving plants dependent chemical fertilizers for growth. Earthly Goods soils and amendments restore this vital element to your garden, helping you to grow healthy plants, lawns, trees, and vegetables.

In an opinion piece in the Financial Times on Sunday, Google's senior vice-president and general counsel Kent Walker said the company is creating new policies and practices to suppress terrorism-related videos.
Google has introduced four new measures to tackle the spread of extremist content online, The Guardian reported on Monday.
On top of policing YouTube, Google also vows to work with other internet companies, including Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter, to share and develop anti-online terrorism tech.
Alongside this, the company will also be increasing the number of "Trusted Flagger" users, with these being a group of users with special privileges that allow them to review any content that is flagged as violating the site's guidelines.
As part of the third step, Google said it would start issuing warnings to videos containing inflammatory religious or supremacist content that does not clearly violate its policies. The company plans to expand the programme by adding 50 expert NGOs.
The company says that it will also be taking a tougher line on borderline videos, ensuring that when they are allowed to remain on the service they can not be monetized, recommended or commented on - and will appear behind warnings. It is an approach to reach out the Isis recruits with targeted online advertising and redirect them towards anti-terrorist videos.
We expect that Google will be rolling out these initiatives on YouTube over the coming months.
Microsoft (MSFT) and Twitter (TWTR) all recently agreed to create an worldwide forum in order to share ideas and technology to fight against online extremism. Would you do us a favor?
The four changes aim to bring together technology and people power to not only devalue extremist content on YouTube, but to also divert people who may be vulnerable to radicalisation away from it.
In April, the German cabinet approved a plan to start fining social media companies as much as €50 million ($56 million) if they fail to quickly remove posts that breach German law. "We think this strikes the right balance between free expression and access to information without promoting extremely offensive viewpoints", Walker said.
"This can be challenging: a video of a terrorist attack may be informative news reporting by the BBC, or glorification of violence if uploaded in a different context by a different user", writes Walker.
Meanwhile, Facebook also recently said it's using artificial intelligence, in partnership with human expertise, to keep terrorist content from groups such as ISIS and Al Qaeda off the platform.
"We remove terrorists and posts that support terrorism whenever we become aware of them".
Despite its previous efforts to combat prohibited content, it acknowledges the fact that more needs to be done and it pledges to take additional steps, starting immediately. "It is a sweeping and complex challenge", Walker wrote. "We are committed to playing our part".

Kids on the Farm - Stay Safe!
Keeping our next generation of farmers safe is so important
Over these school holidays, I have really been thinking about how safely we farm...
The opportunities on a farm are wonderful for our children and their friends to develop an vital understanding of work and day to day responsibilities. Farming has been seen as a family led industry for years with skills being passed down from generation to generation, However this trend is slowly changing.
People from many backgrounds are now trying their hand at farming and living off the land, this may be city folk or people from other countries looking for a better way to live and bring up their families. There is no doubt they bring some new and varied skills to the industry, but also with that comes the lack of common sense that is in gained from being brought up in such an environment. This is where 'The Yellow Wellies Farm Campaign' comes into its own - The Farm Safety Foundation are committed to spread awareness about safety on the farm for all to be able to implement and understand.
Farming is a notoriously dangerous career, so many factors can cause injury or worse, as an industry, safety should be focused on more than anything else, even money.
So how do I go about keeping my children safe on our farm when they love being amongst it so much:
Children play a massive role on a working farm, they are keeping a tradition alive, but what's more important is keeping them safe at all times. Being a mummy on the farm with my precious little ones treating the yard like a playground scares the hell out of me, so my husband and I sat down and put some simply safety steps in place.
Firstly, I'm not suggesting children shouldn't be on the farm, they 100% should ,but what I try and do is teach them not only about the farm, but also the dangerous each aspect of the farm can have, it's all about knowing the risks, children are a completely different kettle of fish to the 'grown ups' when understanding dangers.
We moved into the farm a week before my first child was born, so we have only ever had children around on the farm really. My proud husband would regularly strap him to the front of him in his overalls and take him to see the cows and have a sit on the tractor. I feel the real safety threat is not at this new born stage it's when the child becomes mobile and there is no stopping them and you need eyes in the back of your head.
So a year on, I had a toddler running around and I was pregnant with our second child, because I thought I wasn't nearly busy enough!!! However, here is where my safety game steps up. With two little ones under 2, I couldn't just focus on one child. I had to start thinking outside the box so they could cherish their time on the farm, whilst being safe.
Long gone are the days of the children not wearing helmets when they come on the quad bike and just being chucked in the pickup whilst you pop up the yard. I got slated once on social media for a photo of my daughter sat on my lap in the combine, I would have accepted a discussion, but not a slating. You see, if we talk to each other we learn and from learning we can all become safe, one free tip could save a precious life, I didn't sit her on my lap because I wanted to put her at risk, I did it because I thought she was safer with me in the cab then anywhere else, here starts the different opinions being aired.
Learning from previous mistakes is a great way to get safety implemented, I hold my hands up, my children have shut their fingers in tractor cab doors, fallen off bales and played in stuff they really shouldn't have, but these things were our flags to change something, we now look at what we are doing and dangers surrounding it. I live by, we are only human and even the most conscientious can make mistakes.
We still take our children on the tractors and they still help out with the animals, however, they are always wearing hi-visibility vests so they can be seen (I even have spares for their friends), we have signs up and we are open with them about the dangers, my son often tells his friends that a tractor can squash you, you mustn't go by the wheels.
What we do safety wise on the farm will change as the children get older, as they will want more responsibility and with that more often than not comes more danger.
The biggest and by far the best way to keep children safe is by keeping your attention on them, get off the mobile and check their surroundings and make sure they are in your sights at all times. We all have that one child who wants to push the boundaries and go on their own adventure, yes I agree it's good for them to explore, but NOT around the farm. Something else that should not be overlooked is the storage of dangerous chemicals and vets drugs, ours are well and truly locked away not only out of reach, but also out of sight of the children.
Lastly, burning the candle at both ends can be a huge factor in farm accidents, a tiny second of lapse of concentration due to tiredness can prove fatal. Throughout the farming year there will be times when sleep is a forgotten thing and you will be tired, just take stock and think about the implications it could have, snatch a 30 minute power nap or ask for help with children, once again, you are only human! Farming is a great and rewarding industry, let's just do it safely, farmers are not indestructible, even if they think they are!
The above is all from my experience on our farm , it is by no means legal. For more H&S legal information please visit www.yellowwellies.org
Stay safe. x
Guilt Free Solo Travelling...
I'm just about to embark on a trip of a lifetime to the mountains of Oman, it's no holiday though, I am trekking in aid of breast cancer charity Coppafeel! This all being very worthy and it is an amazing charity, I can't help but be racked with guilt.
This solo adventure marks the part in my life that needs something more, something for myself and something to allow me to help others outside our strong and loving family unit. Selfish, yes you may think, but I think this will really ignite an aspect of lives we maybe missing.
I need to remember I am not only leaving behind my truly super husband and my wonderful children, I am also leaving my home, the farm and all the day to day mundane jobs I have to do... here's hoping on my return a new found respect has been established for my role in our family - general dogsbody, a target for food, a washing Trojan, a cooking machine and so on.
Would you leave your children for a week to go on a solo mission?
Here are my thoughts:
As a very lucky mummy I know how emotional this will be for both my children and I (this is the longest I have ever left them), however I do feel that my children will become more resilient with me as their Mummy more fulfilled in other areas of my life, as youngsters they will be more secure and well adjusted to change. I know there are mum's out there that would sacrifice every part of their life for their child's 'well being' but from my point of view this may do more harm than good in the long run. If my children have a healthy attachment to me they will gain trust and will use me as a security blanket to go on adventures themselves. My children know I will be returning and knowing this, they confirm that all important trust, in turn providing them with an invaluable healthy sense of self. These are my views and know some of you wont agree, but a child petrified of leaving their mummy's side will only become insecurely attached, and not ever being apart from their mummy they will find it harder to develop the feeling of trust and solid security in their future lives and relationships.
Don't get me wrong, I am going to hate leaving them and will miss them like crazy, moreover, I know they are in good hands and this will do our whole family unit the world of going in the future. So if you are a mummy (or daddy) that still needs or yearns adventure in their lives, do it, you have my vote and like me, I hope you can have a somewhat guilt free travelling experience. Bring on Oman.

It's Drilling Time!
After being sat in the house on my own (with the kids) for the 6th consecutive night running I felt compelled to write this short blog. Our farm is a mere 206 acres, so I really feel for all of you have much large holdings.
When it comes to drilling, you already know harvest is over and it's on its way. The nights are drawing in, and the stubble is just crying out to be turned over. You can feel autumn in the air. And just like that, drilling is knocking at your door! I know the long days (and nights) can be tough on your farmer, But I also know they can be even tougher on us wives and partners. So here are few tips to help you get through the continuing drilling season, remember the end is always in sight!!
Be prepared to be called upon. Always have a pen knife, baling twine, gloves, hat, a hammer, oh and a sense of humour all to hand.
One pot dishes, find a couple of dinners you all love and use them freely, easy to do, easy to serve (even on the go) and a piece of cake to warm up or they can usually sit in the bottom oven and the can be popped in freezer too.
Sharing is caring. It's okay to share and separate tasks including chores and looking after the kids with friends and family. Being the best team sometimes means giving in and asking for help, often this is the only way jobs (drilling in this case) get done.
Remember it's not his fault, I need reminding of this frequently! He is doing because he has too, not because he just likes playing on his tractor (or so he tells me!)
Remember why you farm and why you married him. He is not only feeding your family, but he is feeding the world. Sometimes, just sit back, enjoy the view and remember your passion!
Forget it. Machinery needs repairing? Weather not playing ball? washing and dishes piling up? Guess what? It will be okay. Just learn to forget all expectations when days simply don't go to plan.
Patience is a virtue. I'm not going to lie and say everything is always rosy on the farm, because that would be somewhat misleading, however, I've leant that when tensions are 'slightly' raised with long days and late nights, I can simply count to 10 (sometimes 20), smile, remind myself it's not personal and have knowledge that it will be over and back to normal soon. I'm quite looking forward to going to bed at the same as my hard working farmer time once again!
If I missed anything, please add in the comments.

The Harvest Widow
After last night, I had to write this blog.... Harvest was going so well, until mother nature stepped in, all this recent rain has slowed things right down and left me with a non-existent, grumpy husband!!
It's a bit of a morbid turn of phrase, but rest assured, being known as a "Harvest Widow" does not mean that your husband or other half has died. It is an endearing pet name for those who are left at home whilst the farmer is busy out in the field during harvest time! During this season, it is noticeable that you are spending numerous evenings alone, attending parties and events on your lonesome and feeling like a single parent. so, hands up if you find this a problem or it causes friction in your house? I mean, of course it would surely and I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said it didn't affect me and my family. However, it happens, it's life and I do admire how hard Mr M works this time of year, so I have been looking at the pro's of the "Harvest Widow Effect" , here goes:
This time of year is rewarding, but never easy. It tests everything you have, your families, your relationship and your sanity, it pushes you to your limits, but every year you get through it and look back and say "we love harvest" - that is, until next year!!
Everything about farming thrives off team work and harvest is no exception, however, those times that you are lonely and you hate being in a quiet house for the 4th week running, it seems very far removed from team work, so do something for you and have that all important self discovery time. Before you know it your other half will step through the door, leave a trail of wheat, chaff and dust then dump his dirty overalls in the kitchen!! Bang, there goes your 'you time'.... take advantage of being a 'Harvest Widow' it's only a short period of time really, you'll look back and think how lucky you are.... Bring on drilling!!!
Happy harvest and stay safe. x
Farmer's Wife Fail...
Social media is terrible for showing off people's lives in a ridiculously unrealistic way, well that's the conclusion I have come to...
As a member of lots of groups I see houses that are spotless (with kids living there), Toddlers wearing white with not a speck of dirty on them and food that makes me salivate. However, there is one group that is based around cooking on your Aga and the love for your Aga, brilliant, I do love my Aga. I ogle at the amazing dishes made from scratch with veggies out of the garden and I am inspired by how tidy they all keep their kitchens and how sparkling their Aga's are. So when I look though these food posts and think what a good job farmers are doing by growing this fresh produce, I also find myself grimacing at them with a guilty conscience.
I hear lots of people harping on about how they are 'harvesting' their garden crops and getting them freezer ready for the winter months ahead, either by making lots of meals, jams or chutneys, that's right guilt.... You see, as a 'farmers wife' everyone assumes you are the oracle of farm fresh food and you'll always have the answer on how to cook and prepare vegetables and how to cook a piece a meat to perfection. That conscience is creeping back.
This is where I own up about the 'ideal farm family' lifestyle, behind every door there are secrets and ours is no exception, here is my farmer's wife fail... Summer is looming, most of you will appreciated this is by far the busiest, craziest but most satisfying time of the year on the farm and this leads us to eating all the food we get criticized for. I wouldn't say we eat horrendously, it's not takeaways every night, but when you think of the land we live on and what we produce, the food that gets out on the table (or lap sometimes) is far from the farm fresh idealistic cuisine that society portrays (sorry, what social media portrays).
So with fresh yumminess all around us and growing on our land, what we actually consume may surprise you. We don't have a set dinner time any time of the year yet alone summer and the food I cook needs to be kind of transportable if Mr M is still harvesting at midnight. The kids routine is also out of sync, and everything seems rushed. So what's on the summer menu?
Fish fingers, yes I had to start with these as they are ultimate, "shit my kids need feeding quick" food, and during the summer this happens a lot, with mash or in a sandwich these little beauties never fail. Pizza (no veggies, sorry)! Chicken, if I cook a whole chicken that can last us 2 days, using the leftovers in a curry or fajitas. I'm not ruling out takeaways as fish and chips are a winner sat in the field watching daddy combine (I'm sure fish and chip shops have a surge in sales during harvest!) Sausages, with anything. Sandwiches, never discount a sandwich for an evening meal. I accept none of this is terrible, but is far from the wholesome veggie laden 3 hours to cook stew or Sunday roast with ALL the trimmings that people think farmers eat every evening!
Now, I don't think I am alone here, This has to be a wide spread secret of many UK farming families (please tell me it is?) We all improvise and serve up our own version of 'fast food' relying on little time to prepare, cook and dish up and the invention of, dare I say, processed foods!!
The working hours of any farmer escalates in summers starting before 5.30am and sometimes not coming in until the early hours. Throw in two toddlers, one at pre-school and the other needing entertaining you can imagine that by 4pm most evenings dinner has been an afterthought.
The irony is that the good farmers that produce such fresh food us very rarely find the time to enjoy it at its freshest.
As a farmer's wife I strive to get my domestic goddess self together and dish up plates of food to be proud of, I would love whip up a taste sensation in 20 minutes flat with the amazing produce from my pantry, reality is, I very seldom know what is actually in my pantry and I spend the 20 minutes searching the internet for quick, simple, nutritious recipes. So, to my dear friends in the Aga group, please do keep up the good work and post away with all your spectacular creations for me to drawl over, please accept my failure as a journey not the destination, and I am getting there, slowly!
Whatever you're eating tonight...
Bon appétit.
The Lonely Bouquet
Who doesn't love receiving beautiful flowers? Let alone being given a wonderful 'Lonely Bouquet'.
This is a phenomenon that has swept the world for the past few years, the idea is simple, to spread cheer and love to strangers or people that deserve it.
Across the world normal people (not just florists) have been gathering flowers from their garden, petrol stations or local shops and leaving them in public places for people to find, take home and enjoy. There is a cute note with the floral surprise letting the lucky stranger know that they have found a 'Lonely Bouquet'.
This idea has completely pulled at my heart strings, I cant get enough of fresh flowers in my home, I can only guess that I am not on my own here, so, I am going to do my own 'Lonely Bouquet' soon. Happiness can come from simplest of concepts.
How did I come across my 'Lonely Bouquet'? I didn't exactly find it, but a good friend of mine (Flowers by Anna Brian) who grows her own flowers to sell always shows appreciation with her colourful sentiments, I did her a favour and she gave me these beautiful flowers to adopt.
Look out on Friday 5th May 2017, NAFAS (National Association of Flowers Arrangement Societies) are doing another 'Lonely Bouquet' campaign, NAFAS members will once again leave posies of friendship the length and breadth of the country.
Come on folks, get picking and get giving... Our world deserves some random acts of kindness and love. Comment below if you're going to give it a go.

The Fortunate Dyslexic
For the first time, in a long time my husband and I went away for the night 'kid free'. We took the 2 hour trip to York and stayed at a lovely spa on the outskirts. Our experience was lovely, and the reason I write this short blog is simple.
In the evening we opted to indulge in some of the spectacular cocktails on offer in the Titanic Spa's 1911 Bar. The menu was so tempting I sampled most of them!! What stood out for me was the passion behind all of the cocktail creators, 2 guys and 1 lady all with smiles and a cheeky bit of competitiveness put together some beautiful works of art that looked too good to drink.
The place had a buzzing atmosphere, we sat at the bar so we could ogle over the cocktails being made (some made to order, not on the menu!) and chat to the staff. Which is what we did.
The one bar tender we started to chat to just loved the art of cocktail making, he didn't need to tell us that, we could just tell. So I asked him if he was trained or was he self taught? To my horror, before he even started to tell the story of how he learnt his trade, he said;
"well, you see, unfortunately I'm dyslexic"
I quickly jumped in and asked him why he thought being dyslexic was 'unfortunate'?
At the establishment where he trained to making such masterpieces they had to learn all 50 odd cocktails and all the ingredients off by heart. He did that easily, because he is fortunate to be dyslexic and his memory is superb. However, this had to be proven by a written exam, in which you had to gain 93% or more to even step foot behind the bar. He couldn't do it, he simply couldn't write them down, he wasn't given the option of an oral exam... I was horrified. Needless to say, he soon left.
Luckily for The Titanic Spa - 1911 Bar, they didn't have such narrow minded acceptance policy, and they now have an exceptional cocktail creator and master of rum!!!
Why did this strike such a nerve with me? Well, my late Dad was massively dyslexic and so is my Brother, In our family dyslexia was never a 'diagnosis' it was, and always will be something at sets these people apart from others, more of an 'identification'. People need to realise it is not a disease or an imperfection that we strive to find a cure for, there is no cure and never will be. It is purely a characteristic that gives some people more opportunity and drive than what they may have had otherwise.
An adult or child with dyslexia shouldn't be labelled or made to feel they are lesser of a person than anyone else on this planet, there are many pitfalls that people push them into by uneducated comments. These need to be abolished. It's a lot more simple than people think, find a way the dyslexic likes to and is able to learn and go with it. If they are practical, make learning practical, if they are musical, learn through the medium of music, if they excel in maths or have a flair for art use it... These people who are labelled as stupid are our next engineers, artists, designers, inventors and entrepreneurs, just ask these successful dyslexics:
So, if you or your child have the dyslexia characteristic, please don't hang your head and say "unfortunately I'm / they're dyslexic". On the contrary, hold your head up high and boast about your / their skills and talents and say:
"I / they outshine at this because I am fortunate enough to have dyslexia"
If you are dyslexic, please comment and let us all know how you use this fortunate trait to our advantage.
Blooming Marvellous Coffee
During a quick pit-stop with the children in a local coffee shop, I spotted they were giving away used or out of date coffee grounds. Curious, (and a fan or quirky ideas) I had to ask what it was all about.
Who'd of thought, they are used to enhance garden compost? I was drawn in, I picked up a bag and trotted of proud as punch, not only was it free, my garden will look amazing!!!
I did as intended and added the washed coffee grounds to my compost and I have to say my flowers have bloomed fantastically. Since doing this I have read conflicting articles on the use of coffee grounds on your garden, so I am only talking as I find.
So why are they so good for the garden? when used in compost the coffee grounds are classed as green waste and break down as any other compostable matter would. The recommended ratio for coffee grounds is 10% of the compost as they can be deemed acidic. Even after the coffee its self has been filtered away, the grounds still contain proteins, acids and carbohydrates which will provide nutrients to the microorganisms that turn your waste into gardening gold, compost. After researching further, adding the grounds to the compost heap will increase microbial activity, which raises the temperature. The benefit of this is that it helps kill many pathogenic bacteria and fungi as well as the seeds of weeds that sneak into the heap from your garden waste.
There are many more great ways coffee grounds con used in the garden, for instance, worms love it, they are attracted to it and carry it deep into the earth. Brilliant, feeding the worms and feeding your soil.
I've not tried this, but it is documented that you can attempt to change the colour of your hydrangea's . You may be aware that more alkaline soil produces pretty pink hydrangea flowers, while acidic soil tend to throw blue flowers. If your plants have pink flowers, feed them some washed coffee grounds and wait to see if they show any signs of changing colour.
I have to admit, this brought the geek out in me, I love eliminating waste, so this was bang up my street (or my garden path!) Try it, I can't promise it'll work for you, but it's defiantly worth a go.
Only At Agricultural College...
Having studied at an Agricultural College (now a University) I can concur with all of the stereotypical following, If you would like to add anymore, please do comment below.... Let's all have a good laugh for old times sake!!
Here are a few, I could go on and on but your computer might crash!!!
1. Every man you know has one of the following names somewhere on their birth certificate: George, William, Henry, James, John.
2. Wellington's are a standard choice of footwear. For lectures, pubs, nightclubs, anywhere.
3. It's perfectly acceptable to carry a shotgun around campus, or even to have one stored in your student house. (In a gun cabinet of course!)
4. You have one nightclub, maybe two, and still only go to them once in a blue moon.
5. All collars are worn up.
6. You have a pair of 'Bar Boots'.
7. You have turned up to a lecture wearing fancy dress and nobody has batted an eyelid.
8. Initiations involve maggots, sheep spray and gold fish.
9. You struggle to understand concepts such as "veganism".
10. You can pluck and prepare a game bird.
11. Drinking seems to be a core module for all subjects.
12. Fieldwork involves visiting a farm.
13. Everyone has a car.
14. Trainers are strictly for sports only.
15. The weekends see an exodus as students leave to shoot/ hunt/ take their washing home to Mummy.
16. There is an unofficial uniform of tweed, nowadays it seems to be the Schoffel gilet.
17. It's possible to pass your degree without ever visiting the library.
18. The rivalry between other Ag Colleges old boys (and girls) will stay with you forever
19. There are balls all the time. If you are a girl you take out an extra student loan just to buy dresses.
20. Despite having to study crop production, have everyone know your business and have to drive several miles for civilisation, you wouldn't study anywhere else.
21. You're still friends now, no matter how long ago you left College.
*This is a generalisation and in my opinion, not in any way factual.
Ewe, Me & Beautiful Wales
This time in 2 weeks we won't be leaving the farm, let alone the country!
Lambing 2017 will be well under way, its a time of year that can stir up lots emotions and feelings, but we wouldn't change that for the world, bringing new life on to the farm is something to cherish and be proud of.
However, before this mayhem, we like to escape to Abersoch for a couple of days to recharge. Many of you will concur that holidays do not feature in the farming calendar anywhere, If they do, they are for a quick weekend or an agricultural show!
Luckily for me, this weekend was god damn awful weather, so, my husband agrees to go away with a grin, the wetter it is the happier he is, how dare I think of removing him from the farm when the sun is shining!
It's funny, since all the events of the past year, things have evolved. Family time has become more important and even more cherished. We often have the conversation, why put all this time and effort into the farm if you don't have a loving family to share it with? This is why we believe we need to, every so often, take the kids away from the farm and re connect with them. Its all too easy to get consumed by 'jobs' and say 'hold on kids I'm busy' in day to day life. Our little breaks to Abersoch give us this precious time and strengthen our bond, which you'd be hard pushed to crack. All our attention is on us as a couple and our kids, you see, the stronger our relationship is as a family, the stronger the farm is as a business.
So when we are being blown along the deserted beach, getting drenched by the pouring rain, eating THE best scotch eggs with a pint in The Vaynol and spending too long looking at the rusty old Muir Hill's in the harbour, we are doing it with a smile, living in the moment and of courses getting excited for the forth coming lambs.
Don't get me wrong, the farm is our biggest priority, but, our little family will ALWAYS come first.

This paper shows how the transient response of gas-to-gas parallel and counterflow heat exchangers may be calculated by an analytical method. Making the usual idealizations for analysis of dynamic responses of heat exchangers, the problem of finding the temperature distributions of both fluids and the separating wall as well as the outlet temperatures of fluids is reduced to the solution of an integral equation. This equation contains an unknown function depending on two independent variables, space and time. The solution is found by using the method of successive approximations, the Laplace transform method, and special functions defined in this paper.

To establish a correlation between phenotypes of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) progression (phenotypes A, B and C) and different candidate genes in type 2 diabetic patients.
A population of 307 diabetic patients with NPDR, followed-up during a 2 years prospective study was classified in 3 different phenotypes of DR progression based on non-invasive methods, Color Fundus Photography (CFP) to assess microaneurysm turnover (MAT) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to measure Retinal Thickness (RT). Phenotype A was considered for MAT<=9 & Normal RT; Phenotype B for MAT<=9 & Increased RT; and Phenotype C for MAFR>9 & Normal or Increased RT. Twenty one (21) patients/eyes developed during the 2-year study clinically significant macular edema (CSME), 14 from Phenotype C, 5 from Phenotype B and 2 from Phenotype A. Eleven genes were selected from a list of candidate genes (ACE, AGER, AKR1B1, ICAM1, MTHFR, NOS-1, NOS-3, PPARGC1A, TGFB1, TNF-a, and VEGFA) and their distribution were analyzed for the 3 different phenotypes.
The distribution for the 3 phenotypes was respectively 54.1%, 23.4% and 22.5%. Statistically significant differences between phenotypes were found for ACE (rs34241302, rs4317 and rs4318, P<0.05) and NOS1 (rs1552228, P=0.012). When considering patients that developed CSME, statistically significant differences were found for ACE (rs12720737, rs35865660, rs4317 and rs4318, P<0.016), for NOS1 (rs41340250 and rs9658481, P=0.001), and MTHFR (rs7533315, P=0.029).
ACE, NOS1 and MTHFR were found to be associated with different phenotypes of DR progression and development of CSME. The identification of these phenotypes-genotypes correlations opens new perspectives for the management and the treatment of DR in type-2 diabetic patients.

The smartest decision Electronic Arts made when bringing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit to the iPhone is to completely zero in on the thrill of the high-speed police chase. While the console edition allows you to hop back and forth between predator and prey, here you only command the ferocity of a black-and-white, thundering through Seacrest County with little regard for standard operating procedures. That kind of focus only benefits iPhone games, an EA makes the most out of this singular experience.
Hot Pursuit doesn't limply hand over the keys to a Crown Vic and call it a day. No, you will unlock an entire garage of sports cars that have been converted into police cruisers, including Lamborghinis, Nissans, and Porsches. The more illegal racers you bust with aggressive maneuvers and clever use of both high- and low-tech countermeasures (as well as participate in a few shady races with other hotheaded officers), and the more cash you earn by completing goals as quickly as possible, the faster you achieve higher ranks. With new ranks come new wheels.
Your "weapons" include spike strips, EMPs, and roadblocks – all of which must be charged again and again before used. Only by mastering these tools will you have a chance of getting three stars on all 24 of Hot Pursuit's events. An EMP will temporarily knock a rival's systems offline, either preventing them from using their own tricks or shutting down their engine. Deploying spike strips is incredibly satisfying, especially if a weakened racer barrels into them at full speed and wrecks his ride. The camera immediately flashes back to the slo-mo destruction of metal and glass. And then it's on to the next target.
Attempting to keep up with Hot Pursuit's intoxicating speed is like grabbing a tiger by the tail. It could be argued that some of the cars actually go so fast, they are difficult to control. Careful use of the brakes will prevent you from blowing critical curves. However, I did not like the handbrake option at all. Swiping up on the screen puts your ride into a drift that serves little to no purpose. I ended up just not using at all in my quest to complete all of the racing events.
Another bother in Hot Pursuit is the limited multiplayer. There is no online multiplayer – not even over WiFi. Everything is done local. While that works just fine if you indeed have a friend nearby with the same game and you were bored of looking each other in the face while talking, games like Archetype have proven that fast-paced multiplayer over the network or WiFi is very possible. A cop chaser like Hot Pursuit is a perfect fit for this, especially in the era of Game Center.
Finally, while Hot Pursuit is a fairly attractive racer – it supports Retina displays – it lacks the stunning style of the previous Need for Speed racer, Shift. That is still a gorgeous game.
The Verdict
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit&#Array;s formula is unbeatable: the classic set-up of a police chase juiced with sports cars. Taking down an illegal street racer and watching it tumble through the air in crash porn slow-motion is a great bit of fun. Hot Pursuit&#Array;s structure of rewards is also well-paced, as you are almost always unlocking something, whether it&#Array;s a great new car or a new race event. At times it may go too fast for its own good and it does lack online play, but speed freaks will undoubtedly get their download dollars&#Array; worth out of Hot Pursuit.

Lesbian Avengers Keeps Fighting, 25 Years On
Legendary activist group revives to fight the Trump effect.
Since the November election, white supremacists, anti-LGBT activists and misogynists have become visible and vocal, attacking minorities in public spaces, in digital and social media, and stating their intention to roll back the legal gains achieved in the last two decades. Hate crimes and incidents of harassment are being reported on a daily basis nationwide, with some news outlets and websites such as Jezebel.com estimating as many as 900 reported incidents. But what is our community doing about it?
The Lesbian Avengers are fighting back!
The Lesbian Avengers launched almost 25 years ago, during another wave of anti-gay and white supremacist hate. Their call to action was: "LESBIANS! DYKES! GAY WOMEN!... We're wasting our lives being careful. Imagine what your life could be. Aren't you ready to make it happen?"
Twenty thousand dykes marched on Washington. More than 60 chapters sprang up worldwide, launching Dyke Marches near and far and their activism even reached America's heartland, successfully beating back anti-gay legislation in rural Idaho.
In their very first action, the Lesbian Avengers gave out balloons to support the Rainbow Curriculum in New York, designed to teach children about diversity. Lesbian Avengers learned the art of eating fire to call attention to the fire-bombing deaths by neo-Nazis of Hattie Mae Cohens and Brian Mock, a black lesbian and her white gay friend. The Avengers took over a radio station which had been spewing hatred and vilification against LGBT folks and people of color.
Kelly Cogswell, an original member of the Lesbian Avengers and a coordinator of Lesbian Avengers 25, says her goal in sharing the Avengers' story is to prove that it's possible to fight back.
"We've done it before, and we'll do it again. It's not magic. But sustained activism does make a difference. The Avenger story also shows that you have to take a leap of faith."
This activism only happened because six people sat down and decided, "We're doing this, whether anybody joins us or not," says Cogswell.
The Lesbian Avengers 25 welcome your support, whether it's participating in the Lesbian Avenger oral history project, coordinating a mobile exhibit in your area, or donating to their current IndieGogo campaign (through Dec. 20).

I have always been a fan of prints and patterns. They bring so much fun into our existence. I would definitely choose animal print, polka dots, stripes or florals over the solids. And it is even more fun if you would dare to mix and match:) Pattern mixing is fun! It does require some skills to mix patterns so you wouldn't end up looking like a clown. I have this image of a perfect outfit with mixed patterns in my head. It would look exactly like this: Stella Jean multicolored dress, Salvatore Ferragamo leopard flats with laces and Valentino African couture lock shoulder bag.

This coat from Gucci Resort '16 collection is a perfect outwear to rock in spring. This quirky piece of clothing is, without any doubt, able to brighten anyone's day. How would you style it?

LUSH LIFE - at Lehmann Maupin Gallery
Iris Flügel und Kai Schiemenz
LUSH LIFE – Chapter 4: Let it Die at Lehmann Maupin Gallery
An exhibition inspired by Richard Price's novel of the same title
Featuring Artists in Nine Lower East Side Galleries, New York
Lehmann Maupin announces its participation in LUSH LIFE, an exhibition curated by Franklin Evans and Omar Lopez-Chahoud and inspired by Richard Price's 2008 novel of the same title. LUSH LIFE includes 60 artists, and nine Lower East Side galleries, including Lehmann Maupin. Each gallery will feature a sub-exhibition reflecting the idea of one of the nine chapters in the novel. Evans and Lopez-Chahoud selected one artist from each gallery and solicited additional artist recommendations from each of them to participate in the exhibition.
I'm not here to make friends is built as a model of an air-garden, an air-garden of decay in an open cubic structure. Air plants, for instance Tillandsia and orchids, which take their nutrition out of the air and oyster mushrooms, which once they are seated in a cultur medium need no further nutrition.
A forest, growing at its own over years, decades, yet all the plants are rooted in the air. You can actually sit there and contemplate about Charles Darwin, everyday, every week, watching those slow and ancient roots push deeper and deeper into the earth. Worms crawl, as if through space, forming tunnels – underground landscapes of air.
Lehmann Maupin will represent Chapter Four: Let it Die and will exhibit the work of Jackie Saccoccio, Jessica Dickinson, Matthew Weinstein, Dani Leventhal, Rashid Johnson, Claudia Weber, Jose Lerma, Kai Schiemenz, Iris Fluegel, Robert Beck, Robert Melee, Tommy Hartung, Nina Lola Bachhuber, Cynthia Lin and Amy Longenecker-Brown. Chapter four in Price's novel addresses the attempt to ignore and let a story die, to allow for a neighborhood's history to die, and to actively bury the past and the difficulty of finding a fairer answer/resolution to a complex situation.
Both Jackie Saccoccio and Jessica Dickinson offer works that through their process-based painting and drawing emphasize the physical layers of residue to a literal past. Saccoccio's work looks to an earlier era (mid-century New York abstraction). Dani Leventhal's blood/skinning drawings, Matthew Weinstein's death-tracking skeletal hand and frisbee, and Rashid Johnson's literal death reflection mirror present the subject as non-elusively and frontal.
Claudia Weber, Jose Lerma, Kai Schiemenz, Iris Fluegel, Nina Lola Bachhuber, and Amy Longenecker-Brown will be making work specific to the consideration of both history passing (its death) and the neighborhood in transition, both themes of Price's novel. Robert Melee's and Tommy Hartung's sculptures challenge the ease to which a past can disappear and/or morph into a new form. Cynthia Lin's larger-than-life distorted drawing of skin has an allusion to a possible lifeless state. While, Robert Beck's site-specific shrine alludes to the shrine in the novel that emerges after the murder and erodes in a short week.
Collective Opening Reception
A collective opening of all participating galleries will take place on Thursday, July 8th from 6–9 pm, however, exhibition dates throughout June and July will vary for each gallery.
About the Novel
Price's novel is set in the contemporary Lower East Side and, through a murder investigation, exposes the dynamically changing community of the neighborhood, which despite its evolution retains a ghostly and vital link to its layered past. The deep and varied history of the neighborhood now includes the Lower East Side galleries as new community members. The premise of community is reflected in the cooperative nature of the galleries' and artists' participation in the exhibition, which uses Price's novel to critically consider concepts of neighborhood and change. LUSH LIFE will be the present for what will become a living ghost to the future form into which the Lower East Side will inevitably morph.

| This article contains too many errors that is beyond imagination and
needs to be completely rewritten. You can help Ōkami Wiki by rewriting it.
While walking in the woods one morning an old man comes across a sparrow calling for help. The good natured man takes pity on the sparrow and takes it home and feeds it rice to help it recuperate. However his cruel and greedy wife cannot fathom why he is wasting their food on such a disgusting creature. However the man continues to feed it.
One day the man returns to the woods to cut wood and leaves the sparrow in the care of his wife. However his wife refuses to feed it and goes out fishing. While the woman is out fishing the sparrow eats all of the starch that she has mistakenly left out. In her rage the woman cuts out the tongue of the sparrow who then flies back into the mountains in fear.
When the man arrives home and finds out, he returns to the mountains to look for his sparrow friend. He is helped by other sparrows and finds his way to an inn in a bamboo grove where a Clan of Sparrows lives. The Sparrows are happy to see him and lead him to his friend. They dance and sing for him and give him food.
As a parting gift, they offer the man the choice of a small basket or a large basket, the man, being old, picks the small basket as it will be easier to carry down the mountain. Arriving home he opens the basket to find it completely full with treasure. However his wife finds out about the larger basket and greedily runs up the mountain to get it. She gets the basket but it warned not to open it. She does not heed their warning and opens it only to find out that it is full of monsters. In fright, she falls down the mountain to her death.

|The tale is used as a major part of Ōkami's story. Mr. and Mrs. Cutter represents the old couple and Chun represents the injured sparrow. Clan of Sparrows that live in an inn in a bamboo grove appear as the Sparrow Clan of Sasa Sanctuary. Amaterasu rescued Chun from the Cutters who are both trying to eat her. Also, Mrs. Cutter carries a large basket on her back, and concept art shows demons coming out of it.

Dennis Denisoff came to the study of ecology through decadence. He is the author of Aestheticism and Sexual Parody, Sexual Visuality from Literature to Film, and the novel Winter Gardeners, and editor of The Nineteenth Century Child and Consumer Culture and a special issue of Victorian Review on "Natural Environments." He co-edited Perennial Decay: On the Politics and Aesthetics of Decadence and co-edits the digital site The Yellow Nineties Online. His edition of Arthur Machen's decadent literature is forthcoming in 2018 and he is completing a monograph tentatively entitled Pagan Ecology in British Literature and Culture: 1860-1920.
Devin Griffiths is an assistant professor of English at the University of Southern California. His research examines the intersection of intellectual history, scientific literature, and the digital humanities, with emphasis on nineteenth-century British literature and science. Central to his work is the question of how literary form shapes our experience of time and natural systems. Essays on this subject have appeared in ELH, Book History, SEL, and other journals. His monograph, The Age of Analogy: Science and Literature Between the Darwins (Johns Hopkins, 2016), rethinks analogy in order to examine how historical novels furnished a relational understanding of history and helped to shape the disciplinary formations of both the life sciences and the humanities. He is currently working on a study of the relation between organicism, general ecology, and theories of literary form titled The Ecology of Form.
Nathan K. Hensley is Assistant Professor of English at Georgetown University. His research focuses on nineteenth-century British literature, critical theory, environmental humanities, and the novel. Other interests include Anglophone modernism and the cultures of globalization. His book is Forms of Empire: The Poetics of Victorian Sovereignty (Oxford, 2016). A second project investigates how the nineteenth century imagined massively entangled causal systems, and the failure of those systems. With Philip Steer (Massey University, NZ), he has coedited Ecological Form: System and Aesthetics in the Age of Empire (Fordham UP, forthcoming), which features work by several VCologies members.
Deanna Kreisel is Associate Professor of English at the University of British Columbia. Her book Economic Woman: Demand, Gender, and Narrative Closure in Eliot and Hardy was published by the University of Toronto Press in 2012.

She is currently on a new project on utopia and sustainability in Victorian culture.
Tobias Menely is an Associate Professor of English at UC Davis. He's the author of The Animal Claim: Sensibility and the Creaturely Voice (2015) and the co-editor, with Jesse Oak Taylor, of Anthropocene Reading: Literary History in Geologic Times (2017). His current book project is "The Climatological Unconscious."
Elizabeth Carolyn Miller is Professor of English at the University of California, Davis. She is the author of Slow Print: Literary Radicalism and Late Victorian Print Culture (Stanford, 2013), which was named NAVSA Best Book of the Year and received Honorable Mention for the MSA Book Prize, as well as Framed: The New Woman Criminal in British Culture at the Fin de Siècle (Michigan, 2008). Her articles have appeared in Victorian Literature and Culture, Victorian Studies, Modernism/modernity, Feminist Studies, and elsewhere. Currently she is working on "Extraction Ecologies and the Literature of the Long Exhaustion, 1830-1930," a study of ecology, capital, literature, and temporality during the first century of the global extraction boom.
Benjamin Morgan is Associate Professor of English at the University of Chicago. His research examines intersections among science, literature, and aesthetics from the nineteenth century to the present. His first book, The Outward Mind: Materialist Aesthetics in Victorian Science and Literature (University of Chicago Press, 2017), explores how early scientific studies of the human mind gave Victorian literature and aesthetics a new, physicalist language for emotion and thought. His current book project, In Human Scale: The Aesthetics of Climate Change traces how literature and the visual arts have sought out innovative strategies for depicting large-scale ecological systems since the early industrial moment of the climate change era.

Tania Zaetta sets ramp on fire
I felt sexy with all the paint, says the hottie.india Updated: Apr 07, 2006 13:18 IST
Hot Aussie beauty Tania Zaetta got many sweating at Neeta Bharagava's India Fashion Week show.
With just a skimpy bikini beneath, the model was painted with gold and bronze from top to bottom. As Tania prowled like a cat on the ramp, the hottie had media drooling all over her after the show got over.
"I just enjoyed the experience. It took five hours to get my body painted with these colours and four people were occupied in doing the same."
"The feeling itself is so sexy and the concept was so unique that I wouldn't mind flaunting my booty again," quips Tania.
The sultry siren just about managed to rush into the restricted area, before she could get mobbed.
The Autralian beauty shot to fame with an AXN show. She also has few Bollywood films (Bunty aur Babli and Salaam Namaste) to her credit.
