After numerous leaks and rumors, OnePlus 5 has been finally launched by the company worldwide. As expected, the device comes with dual camera setup on the back and in 6GB/8GB RAM variants.
The device packs latest Snapdragon 835 processor which has eight CPU cores capable of running at up to 2.45GHz and paired with either 6GB RAM or 8GB RAM depending on the variant. The 5.5-inch FHD optic AMOLED screen is retained from OnePlus 3T protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The internal memory is 64GB or 128GB UFS 2.1 fast storage, has a 3300mAh battery with support for DASH charging, Bluetooth 5.0 and runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat with OxygenOS.
OnePlus has always focused on the processing power in the smartphones and not on the cameras. With OnePlus 5, the company has stepped up by providing a dual camera setup similar to the iPhone 7 plus. There is a 16MP sensor (Sony IMX 398) with a large f/1.7 aperture and Electronic Image Stabilization (no OIS!) and a 20MP telephoto lens with f/2.6 for lossless optical zoom up to 1.6x. Just like iPhone 7 Plus, the camera also offers a Portrait mode which utilizes the secondary sensor to provide the bokeh effect.
The device is priced at Rs. 32,999 for 6GB variant and Rs.37,999 for the 8GB variant. It will be available exclusively on Amazon in slate gray and midnight black colors.

As the markets for communications and deregulated utilities get ever more competitive, marketers know that finding and hanging on to customers is getting tougher by the minute. With the abundance of options and service plans on the market, as well as the myriad of promotions available to consumers, marketers need to focus on marketing to optimal consumers and deepening relationships to drive higher returns.
Enhancing customer engagement is a steep challenge. It is not just about analyzing data and testing promotions; it is about creating meaningful interactions across the customer lifecycle. The following are some steps that marketers can follow to achieve stronger customer engagement.
Given the frequent proliferation of data in company databases, marketers can start by aggregating and linking all of their various data to create a unified view of prospects and customers. This includes integrating both internal and third-party data. Plus, marketers often need to transform their offline customer data to enable online marketing. This onboarding of customer data is a key component for comprehensive omni-channel marketing campaigns.
Marketers often get stuck in the next phase – "analysis paralysis". To avoid (or at least minimize) the paralysis, marketers can incorporate third-party consumer economic and credit insights in order to help reveal the best audiences and their behaviors to address various goals. These goals can be as diverse as marketers' campaigns:
- Understanding the best offer and message to deliver to existing customers to promote new products and services – from new phones to energy audits
- Better identifying high-potential clusters for pre-screen and invitation-to-apply prospecting
- Enhancing account reviews to help reduce write-offs and improve collections
Next up is connecting with your best audiences. Marketers want to engage prospects and customers with the most appropriate offer and via their preferred channel, but they do not need to limit campaigns to just one method of communication. Now that you have linked and onboarded your consumer data, your campaign can easily blossom to include email, online and mobile targeting, addressable TV and radio, and other digital channels. Improve your brand awareness and campaign outcomes with the ability to reinforce your message across multiple channels.
Finally, measuring results and planning for the future – both of which can benefit from extensive analytical expertise and a network of digital partners. By accurately measuring performance, marketers can better understand the impact of their online campaigns on offline results, compare segments, analyze web visitors, evaluate conversions by channel, and scrutinize advertising budgets. All with the goal of optimizing marketing spend.
Enabling stronger customer engagement requires a deep understanding of consumers, plus the ability to connect with them using the most appropriate messages through their preferred channels. Let's get started!

Love Forward: Eps 3-5
Drama ReviewsTaiwanese Dramas
I marathoned Love Forward up to the latest episode yesterday. Love Forward is a pleasure to watch because it's HILARIOUS. There are a lot of scenes that try to be serious, but the scenes that really stuck with me are the funny ones. I cracked up so many times throughout all of these episodes and I'm growing to like it more and more. I will be reviewing this drama, not recapping it.
When they first got back together, the thought ran through my mind…"Wait..that was WAY too easy!" So of course, these two encounter several obstacles along the way as they restart their relationship. I KNOW they will most likely end up together 'til the end (admittedly I think this because they are together in the MV and on the posters. The posters do not lie.) but I just cannot get invested in their relationship. The few times I fell for this pairing was because of Tian Ze. There was this one scene were Tian Ze had this absolutely smitten look on his face while he gazed at Jing Jing. At that point I found myself warming up to this OTP abit because I could tell he adores her with all his heart. The other time was when he told her that he waited for her for 4 years because he wanted her confirmation as to whether their relationship was truly over. Cutest thing ever.
Jing Jing & Tian Ze got SO many cutesy scenes together that even I had to admit they are cute. But even so, this OTP just doesn't really interest me. Whenever they fight/make up (the cycle repeats over and over) I'm just not feeling it. Clearly they're gonna have a lot of struggles as they try to make their relationship work, but I feel like they're not really progressing after each fight they have.
It feels really weird seeing Leroy play such a different role from his role in Who's the One. We begin to see that Ren Wei thinks love and women are troublesome. Ok, that could work. But then he also uses women for his own advantage and manipulates people. UGH I cannot jump on Ren Wei's ship just yet. I think a lot of people are charmed by Ren Wei's mysteriousness and coolness, but I'm not buying into his act so far. This guy really reminds me of Ding Li Wei from In Time With You. They're sweet and smooth talkers, but will they really commit to someone? HMMMMM.
Love Forward is just as much a friendship drama as it is a romance drama. I found it a bit hard to believe that Ai Xing and Jing Jing instantly became besties again after 4 years of separation. But I think their friendship works because of Ai Xing's unwavering loyalty and Jing Jing's never having true friends when she was abroad. Ai Xing never once considered her friendship with Jing Jing to be over. I was really surprised by how loyal and deeply connected she remained towards Jing Jing. Maybe some people still think Ai Xing is annoying but I think that at this moment, we can all agree that Ai Xing is a true friend.
As for our threesome, they are now instantly besties. Even though Jing Jing & Tian Ze are going out, the threesome sticks together and is completely comfortable with each other. Ai Xing approves of the relationship, and is even the one that brings the two together. But she still has times when she feels like the third wheel. This is where I really feel bad for her. :'( Like when she looks over at the two of them laughing together, or the two of them happily talking together, and she has this sorta curious and sad look on her face. Ai Xing claims love is troublesome, but she still seems to want a nice relationship too. Seeing Jing Jing & Tian Ze together is a reminder of the sort of connection/understanding with Tian Ze that she could never have.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I WILL FINALLY UNLEASH ALL OF MY TIAN ZE/AI XING LOVE UPON YOU!!!! I AM OBSESSED!!!!! To all non Tian Ze/Ai Xing shippers, I know, they're JUST FRIENDS and they have no romantic feelings toward each other
yet. BUT I'm already so invested in their relationship that I will be a Tian Ze/Ai Xing shipper 'til the very BITTER END. So if you're not into this OTP, and you don't want to hear all of my shippy thoughts, stop reading now. Because all I will do is rant about them for the rest of this post. >.>
Episode 5 felt like it was made just for me. Ai Xing & Tian Ze managed to clarify that THEY ARE NOT in love, but not without some very funny scenes along the way. HEHEHEHE I love how the grandpa went, YOU'RE FULL OF LOVE FOR EACH OTHER.
Tian Ze & Ai Xing are often our source of comic relief, but there are also many serious moments. Although Tian Ze jokes that he sees nothing in Ai Xing, we all know he knows just how hardworking and loyal she is. The look on his face when he saw Ai Xing drunkenly crying and ranting about how she saved up money to pay back Jing Jing was so fond and understanding. Likewise, Ai Xing knows Tian Ze is a good guy. She even begins to tell Jing Jing that Tian Ze is kind, righteous, and…and then she stops because she realizes she's complimenting him.
The thing that I don't get from Jing Jing/Tian Ze's relationship is the feeling of HEARTACHE. They have so many big scenes together that could pull my heartstrings, but they just don't. Whereas with Ai Xing & Tian Ze, they don't even have to have a huge long fight, but my heart hurts just from one short scene.
For example: Ai Xing nags Tian Ze to think up of a plan to make sure they won't lose touch with Jing Jing again. She becomes a bit too overbearing, so Tian Ze snaps that she's not the only worried one and shrugs her off. OMGGGGGGG this moment was so short but so tense!!!!! Ai Xing & Tian Ze always end up saying things harsher than they meant to. Whenever this happens either one of them (whoever was hurt) takes a step back and doesn't really respond with a spiteful remark. OOOOF. My heart!!!!!!!
And in another scene, Tian Ze mentions that he'll be able to move out soon because he almost has enough money to rent a new place. Tian Ze asks if she'll miss him in an offhand tone, and you know he's not expecting her to take this seriously…but then the look on Ai Xing's face says YES. Of course she covers it up by saying there's no way she would miss him.
Yet another scene that got me right in the heart:
Ai Xing finds Tian Ze fast asleep on the sofa. She sits next to him…
"Seeing you so upset also makes me unhappy."
:'( *sniff* She covers him with a blanket before leaving. *sniff*
And Tian Ze realizes…wait, what if Ai Xing really DOES like him? He tries to make sure that the two of them are only friends and that she has no feelings for him. She falls asleep while he's trying to ask her so he gives up. Tian Ze may be harsh towards Ai Xing sometimes but scenes like this really show how careful he is not to hurt her feelings.
You know by now who I'm shipping. I can't help it.
On a side note, I got over Ai Xing's bangs and I no longer think Ai Xing is a very annoying character. At first I didn't really like her character in ep1 but now her character has grown on me and she's my favorite. Of course no character is perfect and she still has her flaws, but she has a lot of heart.
Love Forward is a solid drama so far, with less dragging than most tw-dramas, so I'm pretty content. Some have complained about Chen Yi Rong's acting but it doesn't really bother me. Usually tw-dramas make me facepalm and give up after a while, so I'm REALLY REALLY hoping that Love Forward will keep up the momentum and not lose its charm. However I know I'm gonna end up facepalming in the end because my favorite OTP is doomed. There IS the possibility that maybe the relationships will be reversed in future episodes (and also the synopsis makes it sound like maybe it IS possible between Tian Ze/Ai Xing) I kinda doubt it. They would be paired together in the OP and the posters if they were the OTP. DARN IT. Why platonic friends….WHYYYYYY.

Some of the biggest names in the global telecoms industry are redrawing the map.
A cursory glance at the new Global 100 ranking of the world's biggest operators by revenue suggests that the industry has spent the past 12 months in stasis; there has been no change in the top seven, minimal movement in the top 20, and at €1.28 trillion, total revenue was flat compared with last year. But the figures do not tell the whole story. There has been a raft of M&A activity since last year's report was published as telcos strengthen their positions in core markets and seek out new worlds to conquer. As a result, the Global 100 is on the brink of change.
The US has been particularly active. In the past year Japan's Softbank closed its $21.6 billion takeover of Sprint, which itself snapped up mobile broadband specialist Clearwire; AT&T and T-Mobile US bought up smaller rivals; and Verizon paid $130 billion for sole control of Verizon Wireless.
Softbank and Sprint rank 14th and 15th respectively on the Global 100 table, both up one place on last year. But a combined Softbank/Sprint would have revenues of €54.71 billion, which would put it ahead of Vodafone at number seven.
The tie-up will give Sprint a much-needed investment boost and help shore up its finances. The US operator saw its revenue grow by 4.95% in dollar terms in the past year, but its net loss widened considerably. Softbank, which ranks ninth by net income, increased revenues–again in own currency terms–by 5.5% and is growing at pace…

(Do you realize something? His BH walls are made of used Plywood !!!)
This very simple BH is somewhere near to Raub Golf Course and with more than 1000 nests.
The proud owner met me during my recent trip to Tanjung Besar, Kuala Lipis, Pahang.
During the short visit I discovered a few very interesting things that I wish to share with all.
1) According to the owner he was not doing well during the first year of his BH operation. It was mainly due to lack of knowledge and very little gadgets installed.
2) He showed me the seminar manual that he collected during the occasion and I was very happy that it was by me, Pak Harry. The seminar he attended was held in Lumut Holiday Resort in year 2011.
3) After the seminar he modified his BH with all the ideas gathered and used all those strange techniques tough during the seminar.
4) He installed a lot of tweeters. He got those single, kite, chandelier and hexagonal tweeters. There were almost 1000 tweeters plus.
5) One very effective gadget that he used was those Styrofoam fake nests. He has almost 500 per floor. What I saw was that nearly all, 80%, of these fake nests were with nest.
6) He also applied my teaching about those perfume garden bottles. He recently used bamboo bottles which he claimed to be free and very easy to make and installed.
7) I asked him about how many sounds he is currently using. His answer was 5. What? He reaffirmed again 5. Two external sounds and three internal sounds.
8) His favorite internal sounds were the superbabyking, Pukau and NBU. All the three runs on a 24 hours basis.
9) The two external sound that he is currently using were the Kpop and Super 208. He changed his external sounds every 2 weeks.
10) One very strange thing that he did was to install the external sound tweeters all around his BH. The north, south, east and west. All the four were making the sound calling any birds around it to stop and visit his BH.
11) To cool his BH, the outside walls were lined with plywood. Genius method of keeping those hot sun from hitting the cement walls directly.
12) His only entrance hole was facing the East. He told me that he followed by advise closely.
He was very happy to have Pak Harry to stop over and told him what improvements that can be done.
I listed a few ideas and asked him to implement them during the next breeding cycle.
I might want him to try the use of the 3X super pheromone liquid soon.
This DIY bh was something that turned to be what it is now just because he sort ideas from Pak Harry and all his current internal and external sounds were from the same person.
I am very very happy for him and I will try to continue giving him more ideas on how to push his nests population to perhaps 3000 nests.
You all should learn from this BH owner.
A humble person and willing to share some of his ideas that was never in my mind.
I was given a special lunch at one of the most popular restaurant in Raub.

SoftDrive GV – Guv'nor Distortion Pedal VST Plugin-AXP11 September 2013
SoftDrive GV VST WiN
AXP | FREE | Guv'nor Distortion Pedal | 1.2 MB
x86 & x64 VST Plugin for WiNDOWS
AXP has released SoftDrive GV, a freeware VST plugin for Windows which emulates the Guv'nor guitar distortion pedal by Marshall.
SoftDrive GV is a virtual-analog model of the Marshall "Guv'nor" and "Guv'nor GV-2 Plus" guitar distortion effects. The Guv'nor is a solid-state distortion pedal first issued in 1989 to recreate the sound of a cranked up Marshall stack in a small stomp-box format.
SoftDrive GV is available for free download via AXP (1.2MB download size, 32-bit & 64-bit VST plugin format for Windows).
The plugin is a model of the Marshall Guv'nor distortion pedal (it also emulates the Guv'nor GV-2 Plus version). It emulates both the amp and ToneStack stages of the original effect pedal. SoftDrive GV features 8x oversampling in older to reduce the aliasing.
The original release was on September 3rd, but the developer has released an update since then (labeled v1.0.1) which fixes a problem which occured when multiple instances of the plugin were loaded. Make sure you check out the Projects section on AXP's website if you're looking for more freeware VST effects!
Here's a short demo video showing the original Marshall Guv'nor guitar distortion pedal in action:

Hall Photo 101: How to Treat Cosplayers
Hall Photography for Beginners
Part 1: Table Manners
I'm glad to do a "How do you do Hallway Photography?" article. It's the first thing I had to master when I started out taking cosplay photography seriously and these are things I still have to remember three years later. And out of all the setups, it's one with the fewest items you need.
Bare minimum, you need a camera and good manners. These days, I also have a flash with a diffuser, but the basics are still the same: "Hi, may I take your photo?" "Sure" *CLICK* Done.
It sounds easy, but I still see people making crucial mistakes that lead to either a) making a bad photo or b) getting one labeled as a "Creepy Photographer". In my opinion, the label is worse since sometimes you can't help but take a bad photo (I still do that to this day, you just don't see it….usually). Therefore, I'm going to emphasize the most important part of taking pictures of people: Manners.
1) The Cosplayer is a HUMAN
This is cosplay photographer, not a shoot out at the O.K. Corral. Your purpose is to make the best shot you can do. That means no shooting while they are unprepared. That means do not take pics while they are eating. And that means you never shoot at their blind spots without him or her know that YOU are shooting at that angle.
The "Running and Gunning" approach doesn't work on the battlefield OR the convention floor for two reasons: 1) The cosplayer isn't looking their best and 2) your not even trying your best. On the cosplayer side, he or she could be in mid speech with someone or doing maintenance on the cosplay. For you, the photographer, you can't take into account pose, angle, cropping, lighting, and a bunch of other variables. What comes out is a poor quality shot that neither you or the cosplayer will be proud of. And you post this online as part of your "portfolio", cosplayers are not going to ask you for photoshoots anytime soon.
Another bad move I've seen are photographers who compare the person's cosplay with someone else who did the same outfit. It sounds like you talking about your ex, and no one likes to hear about it. ANY photography should be about the photographer and the cosplayers in front of them. PERIOD. You want to shoot with the other person, do it and don't waste the cosplayer's time talking about "Oh how I wish you were someone else". It's RUDE.
The biggest way you can anger a cosplay is if you shoot them at perverted angles. I don't care if her boobs are showing or she's wearing just a bikini bottom. The person you are shooting is a human being, NOT a booth babe (no matter how true that may be). You want to shoot like that, they are replicas of Botticelli's Venus somewhere else. Just because a cosplayer is showing a lot of skin or is only exposing certain parts doesn't mean she's automatically a "slut" or "a male fantasy made flesh". That in front of you is actually a person, and being told otherwise is a good excuse for them to break something valuable, and you'll be lucky if it's just the camera he or she breaks.
The person you want to photograph is a human. Give them the courtesy, PLEASE.
2) The Greeting.
"Hi, may I take your photo?"
If yes: You may take the photo. Remember, you only got one minute at most for a hall shot. Make it count. The cosplayer will pose and you shoot the picture. If you're polite, he or she may allow you to request certain pose or poses and/or allow you to suggest a near-by spot for better lighting or a less crowded area. Either way, you gotta make it quick.
Here's a big tip, and it is something I am guilty of from time to time. Another photographer asked to take a photo first and he or she poses for the shot. You pull out your camera and take the shot too. I have to caution you on this because some cosplayers might take it the wrong way and some photographers do not like it when another photographer is "stealing their shot". It is especially rude when you are blocking the person who asked politely first. Flash-mobs aren't rare in the hallways, but it is something people on both sides complain about.
I know it can be nerve wreaking to do this the first couple of times, but it's like learning to swim in a pool. The first few steps are the hardest. (except for me, who is frequently given bodily harm by cosplayers on a daily basis).
Just ask. Other photographers are people too (Innocent until proven guilty).
3) How cosplayers can find your photos:
I'm guilty of this one, but basically have a way for cosplayers to find your photos. Tag properly for DeviantArt and Flickr (use series, con, character names as keywords). ACP also allows people to do the tagging for you at major cons. Facebook is iffy since (theoretically) only friends can find them, but it is doable if you have a fanpage (but good luck tagging from your fanpage to another person's fanpage).
Whichever site(s) you use, make sure the cosplayer knows. They love it when they find pictures of themselves, whether they are hall shot or photoshoot.
Remember, the key to hallway photographer is being polite. It doesn't have anything to do with how expensive your camera is. A person who is nice but only has an iPhone is always better than a photographer with a DSLR who makes perverted and condescending remarks about the cosplayer.
Comments? Concerns? Let me know in the comments section.

Those of you who happened to be in the Cirkewwa area during the month of May, would surely have noticed a lively group of 12-year olds. You would have bumped into them walking uphill to explore caves, or even carrying out interviews with people on the Cirkewwa ferry.
From a supposedly one-off idea of the Humanities Department twelve years ago, the Grade 8 students wasted no time in transforming this acitivty into a permanent highlight on the school calendar. With an average students' turnout of 98% every year, these weekends have been set up in order to expose the children to a different dimension of geographical learning. In addition, the possibility of shifting from a classroom to an outdoor environment packed with hands-on experiences is always an exciting prospect for the students. .
The event kicks off with the students arriving at Paradise Bay Hotel on Thursday at 6 pm. They barely have enough time to admire their sea-view rooms or settle down to the weekend rules (which are unfailingly broken the next day!), before an hour later finds them already walking in the sunset light of Cirkewwa to explore a subterranean cave and hopefully see some bats. To discharge more of their youthful energy, the group is then involved in a geography quiz tournament, which sometimes can get rather animated much to the consternation of other residents, especially if it drags on to 10.30 at night!
To call Friday a full day is an understatement. By 9 am the students, all clad in Geography Weekend T-shirts, hit the road heading for the Cirkewwa ferry to carry out a transport survey. With transport studies as part of the geography syllabus, the children are encouraged to carry out interviews with tourists and locals about the use of transport. But the activities for the day do not stop there. Once in Gozo, they head to Ramla l-Hamra for a fieldwork on coastal geology and geomorphology and engage in a treasure hunt on the beach. Nowhere else are their orientation skills tested to the full, but in the challenge to find the blessed treasure on the map!
In the afternoon, they visit the Mellieha Holiday Complex to get an insight on solar heating, waste separation and water recycling. After this swift succession of events, they walk to Popeye Village, where they give in to the fun of the water rides, bumping cars and roller coasters. The rest of the afternoon is spent 'resting' at the hotel but by dinner, some eyelids are already drooping and only a few manage to watch the movie "Eight Below" scheduled for them on big screen.
Saturday starts off with a wake up call that is always a struggle for the teachers, who ruthlessly resort to the dragging of curtains, singing and even jumping on beds. The hours spent awake to chat the night away start to weigh heavy, as a handful of students can barely drag themselves down to breakfast. Luckily for them the Saturday programme is less demanding, taking in a landscaping activity in the hotel gardens and a workshop to discuss and present their findings of the transport survey. The event closes with Saturday lunch after which, much to their disappointment, the students have to pack up and leave with a luggage full of dirty clothes and exciting memories of an irrepeatable geography learning experience.

Your career is a lot like fitness. Look at these 3 ways fitness can boost your career:
What are your goals? When you hire a personal trainer, you tell him/her your goals. It's up to them to create a program for you to achieve your goals. Your career is the same. What do you want to accomplish? Once you establish your "career target", you can start drafting a game plan of how to achieve it. Without an end goal in mind, how do even know if you're going in the right direction?
There are no "quick fixes." Diets don't work. A lifestyle change does. When it comes to your career, let's use networking as an example. If you treat connecting with people like a "diet," you won't get the results you desire. Instead look at it as part of your career, period. Meet and follow-up with people weekly for the rest of your life. Even though your "job" may change, your career is a lifelong investment. Treat it that way.
I love going to the gym. It's had a huge impact on my career. Working out helps me visualize my goals, reminds me it takes time to develop and the feeling I get from achievement keeps me coming back for more. Try looking at your career in a new way. How can you become more "fit" in your career?

Sri Lanka Tests Khan Academy, Mathcloud Courses…
Sri Lanka has started testing mathematics e-learning programs in the country's school system to decide whether such courses should be used throughout the country, the Asian Development Bank said.
Sri Lanka has a state-run school system with a centralized curriculum, and the Asian Development Bank.
The courses have been translated with a 725,000 dollar grant from ADB and are being trialed in 40 schools.
"Boosting mathematics skills and critical thinking is essential in today's modern world," Sungsup Ra, Director in the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) South Asia Department said in a statement.
"Computer technologies can complement regular classroom teaching in a way that can bring everyone up to international levels in an individual way."
Following a six month trial, student performance will be assessed.
Sri Lanka's government has been working to find ways of improving the quality of mathematics education in the country's 9,905 schools, including introducing more software-based platforms to promote more dynamic learning and teaching, the lender said.

When I first started college, I was coming out of some of my worst years, emotionally and mentally. I wanted to make a fresh start for myself, but that hope began to fall in before too long. I'm not entirely sure what set it off. It was probably a combination of things. But in any case, it precipitated several nights of wandering across my college campus looking to be alone, or to be found.
One of these nights, I was a little worse off than usual. It didn't matter that I had caring friends that would have come if I had called. I still felt isolated beyond help, like the world was behind glass and I was locked away from it. I could see people congregate in the courtyard and imagine how I'd walk up and meet them. But I couldn't make myself get near. By 10pm when the library closed, I was curled up under an arched bridge on campus. I was watching the turtles. At least that's what I told myself. Shortly after, the college grew silent and the building lights went out. It was just me and the street lamps. And the turtles.
I don't know how long I stayed there. I was losing my perception of time, even with the clock tower in my face. I wandered around the agricultural building and then followed the road off of campus. When I finally looked up to see where I was, I had walked into the off campus apartments. The ones that carried all kinds of stories of drug busts and murders. They were cheap living if you didn't mind a little bit of risk.
I knew a guy who lived there. And maybe that's why I had walked in that direction. I desperately wanted someone to talk to. But I didn't have anything to say. And I didn't want to listen to petty talk or even intellectual talk. To me, they were both just as shallow. So I didn't go to his door. And I didn't go home. I found myself stuck on the sidewalk. I looked at all the buildings around me and thought about how many people I was surrounded by, but none that I could say anything to.
I sobbed. In the middle of the night in a sketchy, poorly-lit street, I stood on the sidewalk and sobbed. I begged God to give me someone that I could talk to. Just anyone that would listen to me–really listen to me–and sympathize. I begged Him over and over again. And then I stood there. I don't know how long I stood there. I was waiting for an angel to appear. Or maybe that guy I knew. I'd settle for him.
But an angel didn't show and neither did that guy I knew. I was starting to shiver and shake–not so much for the cold, but for all the crying. So I decided it was finally time to crawl back to my dorm. If I could make it through the night, I thought, tomorrow would be a piece of cake.
I turned to leave, giving one last look over everything in case I missed the angel, and then I took a step towards the school. A dark car passed me and turned into the apartment complex–so close to me that I made eye contact with the driver. And not just a glancing eye, either. The man stared me down as he turned into the complex. I took a deep breath, hushing all of the rumors of danger in this area, and kept walking–faster.
I heard the car park and the door slam. Then I heard him walking. I was two blocks away from campus–and the campus police. I had the call stations mapped out in my head. "Hey!" He called to me.
I froze. I don't know why I froze. Except that his "hey" wasn't the threatening kind. So I turned around.
"Are you high? Or just depressed?"
"Depressed," I said, trying to laugh at the thought of me being high.
"You wanna talk about it?"
I did. With every part of me, I did. But I didn't know what to say. I couldn't even pinpoint what was troubling me so much. And then there was the practical part of me that saw that I was alone with a strange man in a bad part of town in the middle of the night.
"We don't have to go anywhere. We can stand right here and talk about it." It was like he was reading my mind. Or my face, more like.
But I still didn't know what to say and the practical part of me was starting to scream. So I shook my head, "no."
"Well, alright," he said. But he didn't turn away. I did.
I turned away from him and walked back to campus. He didn't follow me. He stood there and watched me go.
By the time I was back on campus grounds, it hit me–he was my angel. He wasn't shining with light and floating down from Heaven, no. He was dark and drove a beat up car. But he was everything I had begged God for. He had done everything right. And I had turned him down. I had walked away.
The original Writing Challenge Prompt:

From Ada, Oklahoma, USA:
My maternal uncle had type 1 diabetes, as does my husbands' brother and 13 year old nephew. My brother-in-law was five when he was diagnosed and my nephew was eight. My five year old has been extremely thirsty, has had urgent urination, extreme whining episodes out of the blue and, more recently, has wet the bed during the night three times in one week. Having lived with her son and experienced first hand diabetes and having been worried for some time, my mother-in-law wanted his blood checked this weekend. My brother-in-law tested his sugar. One reading was 149 mg/dl [8.3 mmol/L] and another was 145 mg/dl [8.1 mmol/L] on Friday. Today, it was 273 mg/dl [15.2 mmol/L] and then it dropped to 133 [7.4 mmol/L] about 90 minutes later after playing football and running around.
If he had Coke or something sweet on his finger that was pricked, would that have affected the glucose reading? If the reading was in fact accurate, would the exercise have brought it down that quickly? I am taking him to the doctor Monday morning, but it would make me feel better if I knew the possibility was there that something on his finger could have altered the reading.
You are wise to have your son checked. It may have been possible to obtain an erroneously high blood glucose if there was glucose on his fingertip, but having a medical professional assess your son is a good idea.

Snapping hip when you run may mean tight muscles
Q. I am a 42-year-old runner who has snapping on the side of my right hip. When I run and flex my knee, I feel a snap. Sometimes it hurts when it snaps. I did not injure it and it has gradually come on two months ago. I can still run but have had to cut down my mileage. It is getting annoying and I am also concerned if it is safe to run. What is my next step?
A. I believe you have a condition known as "snapping hip syndrome." Most patients will complain of a snapping sensation on the outside of the hip. This can be constant or intermittent with walking, running or cycling.
The condition is caused by tight muscles that cross the hip, such as the Iliotibial band or the Iliopsoas muscle. It's usually treated with an anti-inflammatory medicine, physical therapy and stretching exercises. Most of these problems get better with this treatment regimen. You should see an orthopedic surgeon to confirm the diagnosis and make certain that a more serious diagnosis, such as a cartilage tear, loose body, or impingment is not present.

Earth Plastering Course with Mud and Wood
8 Sep
It is a while already since I attended this weekend course, but I still have good memories. The husband-wife team did a great job teaching us about the possibilities of mud. They have great experience from building their own cob house, where they did the most from the sculptural possibilities of cob building.
Earth is amazing material and it is available on any site for free. With bit of luck you can discover ready mix on your site. No deliveries of bricks and insulation, just sub-soil and straw. Of course it is not so easy, you need to do series of tests on your soil to find out composition. After this you might need to adjust ratios of basic content of soil, which is clay and sand. But the course was about Earth plastering.
Earth plasters have long history in human houses and in fact they are still being used widely around the globe. The pros of using earth plasters are quite obvious. It is a natural material with no embodied energy, inexpensive and easy to fix.
They are great for plastering curved walls or just any shape. However the tradition of earthen plasters in western world faded away with use of cement, but thanks to people like Collin and Feile you can discover that anyone can do it.
Every plaster has common features, it contains binding and structural element together with fiber and additives. The soil consists of:
- Clay – binding agent- consists of extremely fine particles. It is cohesive and sticks to sand and fibers holding the mixture together and as well securing mixture to the wall.
- Sand – structural strength – provides structure, strength and bulk to earthen plasters. It consists of tiny particles of rocks.
- Silt – finest particles of soil. For plasters this is undesired element, because it is decreasing binding strength of clay.
Part of the course was how to prepare and apply natural paints. We were introduced to clay paints and limewash. By adding natural pigments you can achieve attractive and durable finishes for walls. It is very simple to prepare them by yourself using wheat flour paste or casein to prevent abrasion of the paint. It might be easier to pick up a cheap bucket of modern paint made from mixture of chemicals and solvents. But do you really want to breathe all this? Even when the smell of fresh paint is gone there is still some nasty stuff in the air for many days.
The course was two days packed with information and hands on experience. Both theory and the practical part were well balanced. Colin and Feile are great team and all of us attending the course went home wise about earth plasters and natural paints.

On Saturday the 18th March, 10 members and 4 non
- members attended a flat Chisel and
Plane blade sharpening workshop at Jim Davey's shed at Falls Creek.
What a fabulous informative day we all had. Jim started the day by describing the
different quality and grades of steel
available and their varying attributes, then went on to show us the differences
in the honing stones and explained when, where and how to use them, more
importantly, how to keep them in good shape and what not to do with your stones.
The next faze we moved
to the other work shop where Jim demonstrated how to use a bench grinder safely
and efficiently, showing us the set up
procedure with a jig for both chisels and planes, to use with the bench
grinder, after this process the tools were ready for the final honing.
We all got to practice with the stones, bench grinders and
jigs, ending up with tools that were beautifully sharpened, we did have much
larger upper arm muscles after the honing process..
During the day Suzy Jim's wife provided us with tea coffee
and biscuits and a delicious lunch, which we were able to enjoy outside, yes
the rain stayed off long enough for us to have lunch then bucketed down again,
Thank You Suzy. We all enjoyed the day,
everyone helped each other.
I came away with my brain on overload, but thoroughly
enjoyed the experience. Thank you Jim.
Marcia, SWS Member.
The WoodRiver #92 Shoulder Plane arrived today. Boy is it sharp!
I've never got anything this sharp straight out of the box.
Hi Jim,
The block
plane blades arrived today, just 24 hours after we spoke.
I got them
both going in about 40 minutes, including taking one to a 30° bevel. They certainly
are flat. Hardly any time working through the grits to get the backs polished.
This supports all that others have said.
I took your
advice and rounded the shoulders a touch.
I mentioned
that I have been using my #19 at a bevel angle of 30°, plus a micro
bevel. This has made it one of my favourite planes for tackling difficult
grains. (I favour the knuckle joint cap for comfort). I tested the new
blade, reground to 30°, on my testing lump of seriously old jarrah, and
the results are stunning, with and against the grain. I am surprised that many
others have not made this transition of a venerable and relatively inexpensive
Thank you
for your responsiveness.
"As a greenwood chairmaker for the last 22 years I never really
under stood what a Really Sharp Blade was. Working greenwood is like cutting
cheese/soap/ butter- you get the idea-
when it came to planing the underside of a cranky grain seat slab of
English Elm or dressing some wild grain American Oak or Ash my planes just
weren't up to the job. After a very short chat with Jim at last years
Sydney Working with Wood Show I purchased an IBC blade for my old #6 &
after fitting it found out what 'frighteningly sharp' is all about- it was sensational.
that year at the Canberra show I purchased IBC blades for my corrugated sole #4
& my beaut little #65 knuckle plane -same result, I had discovered the Holy
Grail of Sharp.
Jim, you & IBC have changed my planing life!
Brook NSW.
Many Thanks Jim - you taught me the meaning of a new word …………"PSHHHT"."

Have you ever found yourself in a place you shouldn't be? I mean like walking in the woods and suddenly you see a sign that says "No Trespassing." You get that feeling in your stomach like Oh no! What do I do? I hope no one saw me.
Sometimes we are trespassing in a different manner. We might overstep our boundaries with other people and get into their business. We may say or do something to correct a situation that isn't our responsibility in the first place. I know for myself, sometimes I see something going on that I don't think is good, and I feel compelled to get involved. Have you ever thought "I should have never gotten involved with that in the first place?"
Recently while reading in 1 Samuel 13 we read where King Saul offered a burnt offering when he shouldn't have. The prophet Samuel had told Saul to go to Gilgal and wait for him there. When Saul noticed the people were scattering from him he acted. He performed the sacrifice without waiting on Samuel. It seems as though Saul was feeling like things were getting out of control. He thought "I" must do something, and he found himself in disobedience to God.
Waiting on God can be the most stressful thing we ever do. I mean sometimes we may see things in our lives, or the lives of others, and think I must do something. A lot of the time God just wants us to wait. He has a plan and a timetable all together different than ours. Sometimes he seems to have forgotten us, but actually it's just that he likes things to be absolutely humanly impossible before he acts.
Do you remember the story of how Lazarus became sick and died? Word came to Jesus and yet he waited, on purpose, until he died. Sure he could have come when Lazarus was just sick and healed him, but he waited until he was dead. He waited until there was no way anyone but God could do anything about the situation. Notice how Mary and Martha sort of dumped it back onto Jesus. They both said, "If you would have been here Lazarus wouldn't have died." Isn't it funny how we get into something, mess things up, and then want to blame someone else or even God himself?
Once Samuel did arrive, and he confronted Saul about what he had done, Saul made it out like he didn't have a choice. He said, "Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the appointed days, and that the Philistines were assembling at Michmash, therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the Lord.' So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering." See how Saul justified himself and had all kinds of reasons for doing what he did.
It is after this event that Samuel tells Saul; God would have established his kingdom over Israel forever, but he disobeyed God's command. Saul isn't any different than some of us. He thought it was all up to him to fix or change things. He began to think too highly of himself and found himself in a place he didn't belong. It's as if he was trespassing on someone else's property, and Samuel pointed at the "No Trespassing" sign. Samuel was going to offer the burnt offering, but Saul felt compelled to make a move. Sometimes we see things going on around us and it looks, or feels, like we have to do something. When we know God has told us to keep our hands off of something we must walk by faith and not sight. Even if it seems the whole world is collapsing around us we must learn to relax and wait on God. He has a way of fixing things where they are truly fixed.
