Wow, it's been awhile since I have written anything on PDJ, but my lack of reporting does not reflect the group. We have been very busy with the Peace and Dignity Journeys here in San Diego. We are made up of a small dedicated group of native and non-native people from various ethnicities and parts of San Diego.
Our work is rewarded with many blessings, but does not come with glory, we do it for the love and to fulfill the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor to bring the continent together across all borders.
In our recent work we are very proud to announce the three reservations have come together to organize a unity run between the Cahuilla, Ramona and Santa Rosa reservation.
They have seen division amongst the young people and the adults from this region of what is now Riverside County. They are a very proud and honorable people and for this reason we support their work. Below is a flier for their Unity Run. If you are interested please contact me asap and I can give you more information.

Who's reading what?
I am finding it really difficult to post as often as I would like. I knew this might be an occasional problem since my kids are 5, 4 and 2. My house is in a constant state of messiness. So the question always is...Do I sit down at my computer for some reading time, do I sit down for some writing time, do I work on my next course I am teaching in the summer, do I play with my kids, or do I actually clean my house.
Today the computer wins.
That is, in between the fights my four year old and two year old have been having for the last two hours. My four wants to fill Easter eggs with money and hide them around the house for only her to find while the two wants to find them, open them and throw them around in various directions.
Oh well. Let's see if I can finish before I have to pick up the five year old at school.
I thought it might be nice to post once a week about what we are reading and really enjoying so here it is:
The Five Year Old: He is really enjoying Burger Boy by Alan Durant which we found at our local library. He loves to imagine what he might turn into which is probably a french fry. Although he does not read these with me he is also carrying around a DK Pocket encyclopedia on Rocks and Minerals in his backpack as well as a Harry Potter map book based upon the mythological and historical references in the books. I think he likes that fact that it looks like a book but has a fold-out map on the inside. We are both listening to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on our way to and from school. We are also eagerly awaiting the movie since we only have two CD's left.
My Four Year Old: She loves My Friend is Sad. One of the newest books out from Mo Willems. I can really act this book out. It is so funny. Mo's sense of humors infects us. We are also enjoying Mo's new site http://www.pigeonp resents.com. Try the hotdog game! Her other favorite is Max's Chocolate Chicken by Rosemary Wells. We pull this one out every Easter and the Easter bunny always gets my children chocolate chickens just as Max and Ruby receive.
My two year old: He brings me his tried and true favorites each night.
That's Not My Monster from Usborne books.
Goodnight Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann
and our new favorite board book: Skippyjon Jones: Color Crazy. He likes to say that Skippy needs to go to time out since he colors everything including himself!

Moral Emotions
Texts and Courses
Primary Texts
Mengzi (Mencius), e.g. 1A7
Early Chinese Philosophy
The Deviant Philosopher provides individual primers for particular schools of early Chinese philosophy. However, there are basic questions someone new to teaching any of these materials may have. The purpose of this more global primer is address some of these general questions and additionally provide sufficient background information and tips useful to philosophers new to early Chinese philosophy. Our goal in what follows, then, is simply to give philosophers some basic information that can help one feel more confident in wading into unfamiliar waters.
Early Confucianism
Early Confucianism is typically identified with the Confucian philosophers active during the period leading up to and during the Warring States era in China (6th – 3rd century BCE). The most familiar and discussed figures in this period are Confucius himself, Mengzi, and Xunzi. The period in which these philosophers lived was extraordinarily violent, chaotic, and troubling. Philosophical inquiry thus betrays an atmosphere of crisis, reflecting concerns about what had gone wrong, both politically and morally, and how it might be repaired.

Performance and recital repertoire for Drums and Bass
C's a Crowd - Folk with a Twist
This is ostensibly a tune from the folk genre while employing some modern day rhythmic elements. For the drums the ghosting here, along with the open hi-hats are key elements to the groove, while for the bass, chords mixed with a linear line provide the performer with the opportunity to demonstrate a variety of textures, as well as a sense of independence to the bass line. A sense of freedom with beat one, combined with attention to the counterpoint in the strings, allows scope for rhythmic interpretation.
Douper Souper - Township/Funk
This is an Afro -Pop dance tune, which generally focuses on groove consistency and groove development. Both parts include some technical aspects, which add interest and tension while remaining fluid, and flexibility with the rhythmic phrase and time -flow present opportunities for individualistic creativity.
Move the Groove - Latino Funk/Fusion
Starting with its latinesque intro this groove is relaxed and yet develops to have a more edgy feel using rhythmic displacement. The C-section for the bass requires a strong sense of individual time-flow while the D section provides the opportunity for the performer to express a sense of Individuality, within a given structure. The juxtaposition and displacement of the drums throughout which increases in sections C+D creates a platform for exciting rhythmic interplay.
Cubism - Afro/Jazz
The relaxed groove here continues throughout with a laid back feel coupled with elements of energy and tension. For both instruments the groove develops, while maintaining the original feel and both play a supporting role to the lead instrument. The drum solo continues a supporting and accompanying role, which is informed by the guitar solo, while the bass gets a little more soloistic freedom.
Marli's March - New Orleans/fusion
This is a New Orleans March style piece, which develops, encompassing Latin/fusion elements. A sense of fluidity is the goal here in order to provide the necessary sense of momentum and development.
Bacon & Sausage – Slap Funk
A classic slap and pop style piece, which gradually unfolds and develops to create rhythmic yet melodic grooves. An on going sense of impetus with a driving feel will release the energy within this piece.

text: Traveling from Hoboken to New York City during the day is lovely, traveling at night... mmm not so much. It took Dan and I two hours to get to Sam's birthday in Brooklyn last night. There was light at the end of that tunnel [there always is], a strong vodka soda and dancing. So much Michael Jackson last night, so fantastic. Alright, Dan is yelling at me from the bedroom to get ready for brunch. The world is going to end if we don't leave right now. Too bad [sips on her coffee]. Happy weekend x -C

Life has gotten extremely busy. I am tired of being an adult, but there is no turning back. Working full-time has gotten the best of me. I am trying to maintain my social life, but that requires a sacrifice of sleep. This probably is detrimental to my health. But I deserve to have friend time, right?
Even in the midst of my busyness, I am taking on the challenge of blogging every day for November Blogfest. Why, might you ask? To get back into a routine. Somehow, routine maintains responsibility and helps keeps me focused.
I felt convicted as I read a friend's blog. He said,
"In the midst of stress I try to cope by shutting down parts of my life; I unplug, and drop the ball. My walk falters. My relationships become more distant as I become reclusive. My work suffers. My ministry suffers. I suffer. And yet I march proudly down this road imagining that I'm on another. Well convincing—lying to—myself and others that I am hard at work accomplishing all that God has set before me."My walk has definitely been suffering lately, as has my ministry. And here I am, taking on another task. For the next month, I am going to use my blog as a place to unwind, a place to make sense of all the things God is showing me. There will be the random post here and there (how can I do away with those? ha!), but for the most part, I'm going to be as uncensored as I can be in a public forum. Stay tuned, folks! Hopefully you'll be able to gain some insight from what God is teaching me!

Paris Agreement: Investigating the balance between anthropogenic emissions and sources
The Paris Agreement and its Art. 4.1 charted the goal of anthropogenic emissions: to be in balance with anthropogenic sinks in the latter half of the century. This PhD could look at the regional implications of such a goal (and the transition towards it) from both a geoscientific point of view (land-use needs, CCS potentials, remainder agricultural emissions), metrics to compare differnt greenhouse gases (how is a balance defined exactly), the transition dynamics towards such a goal (thanks to a meta-scenario analysis of the SSP-RCP database), and the climate implications of different greenhouse gases (with the help of the climate-carbon cycle model MAGICC for example). The PhD candidate will be asked to refine the research question according to its own research interests.


text: May 11, 2012 at 6:30 AM State Legislature election map: Get to know your candidates for State House and Senate Posted by Alicia Halberg SEATTLE — State legislature races can get confusing, and we understand that here at UW Election Eye. Some might think of the state's assembly as small potatoes, but it really does matter. Our state legislature's decisions impact us in many ways, whether that's through taxes, Washington's education system, transportation systems or passing the same-sex marriage bill this past session. But its hyper-local nature, crossed with wonky policy details, can sometimes make it difficult to follow. Just last week, Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown announced her departure, and created a game of musical chairs/hive of excitement around who would be running for her seat, and then who would be running for Rep. Billig's seat now that he's running for Brown's seat. This stuff isn't easy to track, but that's where we come in. I'm a visual person–maps; photos and other graphics are my friend. So I hope this map of all 49 of Washington's new, revamped legislative districts showing all of the candidates for each race in each district helps you to understand the current composition of the state legislature, and what's at stake this election season.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- American International Group AIG, -2.34% shares jumped more than 4 percent Tuesday after New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer suggested his investigations of the giant insurer are a step closer to being resolved. Spitzer said the recent actions of AIG's board of directors -- which include severing ties to longtime Chief Executive Maurice "Hank" Greenberg -- have helped. "While there is a long way to go before this investigation is complete, the wise actions of the AIG board will help set this investigation on a path toward resolution," Spitzer said in a statement after Greenberg decided to relinquish his role as non-executive chairman of AIG, a position he assumed earlier this month after being ousted at CEO.

We are lucky to be in Middlebury, Vermont in the summers. We are especially lucky this summer as we are able to witness an amazing happening...a team of 70 Middlebury College students working around the clock to design and build a solar house on campus that will travel to Washington D.C. in the fall for a huge international competition. We are proud Middlebury alumni and we are following the progress closely. We have written about this event in our summer newsletter. In our newsletter we feature exemplary student work and helpful resources. If you would like to receive several Cadwell Collaborative newsletters a year, you can sign up here. To learn more about the Solar Decathlon and the Middlebury College Solar Home visit their student designed and managed website and blog. Every two years, the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon competition illuminates the National Mall with a working display of energy innovation in action. One of the most ambitious and inspiring events in the country, it challenges 20 collegiate teams to demonstrate inventive, clean-energy solutions by building solar-powered houses that feature cost-effective, energy-efficient construction and incorporate energy-saving appliances and renewable energy systems.
The Solar Decathlon has grown into one of the most highly anticipated design competitions ever held. Thousands of people visit the National Mall to see and experience the practical housing solutions developed by competing teams: real-world solutions that are available today. To tour the Middlebury team's solar home and the other 19 entries, plan a trip to the National Mall in Washington D.C. between September 13-Oct 2. Find out more about the competition by visiting the Solar Decathlon website.
Middlebury is the first ever liberal arts college to enter the U.S. Solar Decathlon alone. By combining past paradigms with current technologies, they are designing and building a home that exemplifies a truly comprehensive view of sustainability...a New England farmhouse for the 21st century. Students hold all leadership positions, and are assisted by two faculty advisors who specialize in architecture and construction. Along with designing and building the home, the Middlebury team strives to spread the spirit of environmental innovation. Their outreach mission is to engage people of all ages in interactive activities about green building, clean energy, and sustainability. They hope that their project will inspire others to be as excited as they are about creatively confronting the environmental challenges of this generation.

The Chronicle
Former president Jacob Zuma has lost his application for leave to appeal a judgment that said he should pay the costs of reviewing Thuli Madonsela's remedial action for the institution of the state capture inquiry.
A full bench of the North Gauteng High Court issued the correspondence yesterday.
"I can confirm that this is true," DA federal council chairperson James Selfe confirmed to News24. The DA and other opposition parties were party to the case.
Selfe said they received correspondence of the decision, and were expected to receive the full papers later yesterday.
Zuma was also refused leave to appeal. He will pay in his personal capacity.
Zuma instructed his lawyers in December 2017 to file an application for leave to appeal the ruling ordering him to set up a commission of inquiry into state capture.
Zuma was appealing specifically that he be held personally responsible for the legal costs.
Zuma thought the court erred by holding him personally liable for the legal costs, as he was not cited in his personal capacity or given an opportunity to explain his conduct to decide on punitive ruling.
This is a developing story.

The FloCath® Quick™ also features a patented protective sleeve that provides a grip on the catheter while remaining "touch-free" during catheterization. The sleeve also helps to extend the catheter at the funnel end while emptying the bladder. The package features a rounded hole at the top for a thumb grip for easy opening, even if manual dexterity is limited, and this hole can also be used to hang the catheter package.

Household Dogs will usher you into their world of desolate landscapes and brooding
Born out of a damp terraced house basement in late 2016, this Leeds four-piece have been
welding together elements of Americana and Alternative Rock, birthing their own gritty
pseudo-country sound.
Drawing influence from the likes of Johnny Cash, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and The National, a unique formula has been created. This formula blends the poetry of Declan Newcombe (singer and finalist in the 2016 American Songwriting Awards) with the dynamic riffs and rhythms of bassist Matthew Fogg, guitarist Henry Chatham, and drummer Patch Morgan.
In the one short year since their inception, the group has begun to wash their transatlantic
sound over the UK. After the release of their first single 'Basement 7' in April 2017, The Dogs
have been cutting their teeth playing shows around the UK displaying their dominant
performances. Most notably they have become a favorite at London's Sofar Sounds shows,
bringing energy and sweat to their intimate settings, gaining attention with their cover of the Nick Cave classic, 'Red Right Hand' which was filmed in August of 2017.
November 2017 played host to the release of their second single 'Is This All'. The track
immediately gained them recognition, being picked up by BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson who
featured it on his 6 Music show and made it his track of the week:
'This is The Real Deal – no ifs, no buts: just click "play" and hear for yourself. A straight 10 out of 10'. - Tom Robinson (Fresh on the Net / BBC 6 Introducing Mix Tape)
Other reviews of Household Dogs' work includes:
"Cleverly written, and we haven't had much like it in the uploader for some time." - Alan Raw (BBC Introducing West Yorkshire)
"Imbued with a country flavour, yet the overlay of shadowy rock allows them to create music which affords a clear distinction in sound from any preconceptions." - Emerging Indie Bands
"Household Dogs took no prisoners for creating the best listening experience with their new single Is This All." - Volume .

Government is ready to move into the next phase of its National Health Insurance (NHI) plan with the introduction of a health insurance fund that may be partially financed by a reduction in the tax subsidy currently given to medical scheme members, announced Finance Minister, Pravin Gordhan.
During his budget speech, Gordhan said the proposed NHI fund is part of the next phase of the implementation of NHI and will be set up this year.
The Treasury said the fund would initially focus on maternal health services, improved mental health care and services for the elderly and disabled. It will also provide hearing aids and glasses through the school health programme.
Gordhan said 11 pilot sites have been used to assess how to grow the insurance system. In his 2016 budget speech, the Finance Minister allocated R4.5 billion for the 11 pilot sites. The Treasury and the National Department of Health (NDoH) are working together to revise and finalise the NHI White Paper and the longer-term financing arrangements, said Gordhan.
Gordhan said the fund would require enabling legislation and a revised White Paper based on the 160 submissions it received from the public. Further details will be provided in the October adjustment budget.
"There will be consultations with stakeholders over the period ahead on reform of the medical scheme environment, including consolidation of public sector funds," said Gordhan.
The expansion of public health services includes a new Limpopo Central Hospital, R600 million for the commissioning of the new Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital and a new medical school at the University of Limpopo.
An additional R885 million has been set aside to support the implementation of the universal test-and-treat policy for HIV, a policy adopted by the NDoH last September, which aims to start ARV treatment for all people diagnosed HIV-positive.
Gordhan said the government was committed to achieving universal health coverage in line with the vision of the National Development Plan.

Auto dealers battle spiralling realty costs3 min read . Updated: 03 Oct 2007, 12:20 AM IST
Auto dealers battle spiralling realty costs
Auto dealers battle spiralling realty costs
India's auto makers are having trouble reaching out to people because their dealers are finding it increasingly difficult to open more outlets in big cities where rising real estate costs and the unavailability of land make such outlets economically unviable.
"The infrastructure cost is going very high in bigger cities," said Arvind Saxena, vice-president of marketing and sales at Hyundai Motor India Ltd. "There, it is difficult to get a good number of applications (for dealerships) as compared with smaller cities." Hyundai plans to expand the number of its outlets to 250 from around 180 now.
While manufacturers are constantly expanding into smaller towns, several recent international entrants including Volkswagen AG and Volvo Cars are looking for space in the metros to kick-start sales. They are fighting for real estate with new businesses such as organized retail and existing businesses that are growing in step with an expanding economy.
That, coupled with a government move to allow foreign companies to enter the local construction industry in 2005, has sparked a boom in India's real estate market, making it one of the most sought-after investment destinations in Asia. In the last three years, real estate has become at least three times dearer in some of the top cities.
Even motorcycle and scooter makers are feeling the pinch. "The opportunity costs for dealers are high," said Satya Sheel, managing director, Suzuki Mo-torcycle India Pvt. Ltd. "Rising real estate costs don't allow the dealership to remain viable."
Sheel is looking to double the number of Suzuki's retail outlets to 290 in the next 12 months. However, it is car makers that are the worst hit because outlets selling and servicing cars need more space than those selling and servicing two-wheelers.
The companies themselves are hoping that a large sales volume (number of units sold) will encourage dealers to continue in the business and attract new people to enter the business. "Volumes are larger now," said Saxena. "The large number of cars sold so far also means more vehicles for servicing."
Back of the envelope calculations show that car makers plan to open at least 300 outlets in the next 18 months to expand their reach. Sales in the domestic market are expected to reach 2.2 million units by 2010 from 1.4 million in 2006-07, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, an industry body.
Companies say that the problem is more pronounced in bigger cities where they have to fight for prime commercial area with other businesses with deep pockets and ambitious plans.
"The location matters," said Jnaneshwar Sen, senior general manager of marketing at Honda Siel Cars India Ltd, which makes the Civic sedan. "It has to be convenient for the customer to visit and service his vehicle."
Both car companies and dealers prefer to have all facilities under a single roof.
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, which sells half the cars in the country, purchased two tracts of land in New Delhi and Mumbai, and leased it to dealers in an effort to address the problem. However, it said it doesn't have a specific plan to do so in future for other dealers.
Manufacturers in India look at car retailing as a separate business and prefer not to subsidize or own-dealer outlets, unlike in the West.
In India, manufacturer involvement with retail outlets is purely advisory—concerning the blueprint of a unit, corporate logos and the kind of facilities provided to consumers—and is targeted at ensuring that all outlets look alike.
However, if real estate prices continue to stay as high, glitzy car retail outlets themselves may start to become unfashionable. "With heavy competition, we make most of our margins from service and spares," said Ashok Sachdev, managing director of Hans Hyundai, a Hyundai dealership in New Delhi.
Shabana Hussain and Rasul Bailay contributed to this story.

"Our research confirms that most Americans do not realize that falls are by far the most common cause of unintentional injury within the home," said Home Safety Council President Meri-K Appy.
To keep your employees safe from the risk of a fall at home, the council offers these tips:
- All stairs and steps should be protected with a secure banister or handrail on each side that extends the full length of the stairs. Make sure stairwells have a bright light at the top and bottom of the stairs.
- Make sure all porches, hallway and stairwells are well lit. Use the maximum safe wattage in light fixtures. Maximum wattage is typically posted inside light fixtures.
- Use nightlights to help light hallways, stairwells and bathrooms during night-time hours.
- Keep stairs, steps, landing and all floors clear. Reduce clutter and safely tuck away telephone and electrical cords out of walkways.
- In homes with children, make sure toys and games are not left on steps or landings.
- When very young children are present, use safety gates at the tops and bottoms of stairs.
- Use a non-slip mat or install adhesive safety strips or decals in bathtubs and showers. If you use a bath mat on the floor, choose one that has a non-skid bottom.
- Install grab bars in bath and shower stalls. Do not use towel racks or wall-mounted soap dishes as grab bars they can easily come loose, causing a fall.
- Keep the floor clean. Promptly clean up grease, water and other spills.
- If you use throw rugs in your home, place them over a rug-liner or choose rugs with non-skid backs to reduce your chance of slipping.
- Know that window screens are not strong enough to protect a child from falling out. Install window guards on upper floors, making sure they're designed to open quickly from the inside in case of fire.
- Always practice constant supervision if children are near an open window, and keep cribs and furniture away from windows.
- Follow medication dosages closely. Using multiple medications and/or using medications incorrectly may cause dizziness, weakness and other side effects which can lead to a dangerous fall.
- On a playground, cover areas under and around play equipment with soft materials such as hardwood chips, mulch, shredded rubber, pea gravel and sand. Materials should be 9 to 12 inches deep and extend 6 feet from all sides of play equipment.
- When climbing on a ladder is necessary, always stand at or below the highest safe standing level. For a stepladder, the safe standing level is the second rung from the top. For an extension ladder, it's the fourth rung from the top.

We at The Belvedere Inn are committed to being the best Green B&B on Cape Cod. Instead of telling you about all the ways we're green, let's show you! Below are some recent photos taken for our TripAdivsor Green Leader's audit for which we were awarded Platinum, the highest possible level. As we have more photos we'll add them here and to our Facebook page, which you can like here!

Solar Power Coming To The Belvedere Inn! After much research and consideration, The Belvedere is going solar! This October, 30 American-made solar panels will be installed on the barn roof. The power generated will offset 65% of our yearly electric bill. At the Belvedere, we are committed to using green technology and sustainable practices wherever possible. But when Matt and I initially thought of installing solar, it was a bit of a pipe dream. The "maybe if we win the lottery" type of idea. After all, the biggest obstacle to many green practices, and especially green energy, are the upfront costs. Right? Well, not always, as we found out. With help...Read More
As Kermit the frog once said, it's not easy being green. But at The Belvedere, green is one of our favorite colors. From non-toxic cleaning supplies to blown insulation, we are always thinking of ways we can reduce our impact on this beautiful little piece of the world we call home. For our first installment of, "Belvedere Greening", we'd like to share how we are literally turning green and adding R-value – a measure of thermal insulation – at the same time. We are enough lucky to have a LEED certified architect in the family, Sarah's Dad Bill Glass. As our personal energy consultant, he tells us about new technologies and green...Read More

YourToyTrains is so passionate about Model Trains we add the HISTORY of every product on our Product Page.For example, the Lionel O Scale 6-27083 PS-2 Hopper Car Rock Island has this added as part of the Product Description:
Road Name and History:
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad: In 1847 the Rock Island & LaSalle Railroad was incorporated to build a railroad between those cities. By 1854 Rock Island had a through route from Chicago to Rock Island, where the Rock Island built the first railroad bridge across the Mississippi River. In 1856 a steamboat mysteriously rammed into the bridge and it burst into flames- in a long court battle (the steamboat company argued the bridge was a hazard to navigation)) in 1866 the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of the railroad. In 1866 the name of the company was changed to the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad. Over the years the Rock Island greatly expanded, reaching Denver in 1889, Fort Worth in 1893, in 1902 a connection was constructed to the Southern Pacific Railroad at Santa Rosa,,NM, and in 1904 the railroad created a through route from Memphis to Santa Rosa by filling in some gaps. In 1913 a route to Minneapolis/St. Paul had been purchased. By the early 20th Century Rock Island operated a large rail system serving much of the Midwest and Southwest. The CRI &P went bankrupt in 1915, emerging in 1917. Poor management- high dividends and less maintenance- and the Depression resulted in bankruptcy in 1933 which emergence occurring in 1948. Rock Island, by now a weak sister in the territory it served, became the victim of a long struggle as the Union Pacific battled other railroads for control of the CRI&P. By 1974 a deteriorating physical plant caused the UP to lose interest, and as conditions worsened the Rock Island was shut down in 1980. Many of its former routes are now operated by Union Pacific or BNSF Railway.
Why in the world would we do all this extra work. We want to give our shoppers MORE, and we LOVE TRAINS!

In a small rural village in south-western Uganda is the community school of NISSI Christian Junior School. Elisha is the young pioneer who has blazed the way during the school's journey over the past 3 years. After a long patient wait to be accepted as a possible recipient of financial support through Classrooms for Africa, in June 2016 representatives of the NGO visited the school and found a very large welcome awaiting them.
They toured the existing school "facilities", listened to eager students singing songs of welcome and met the leaders and teachers at the school. The school at that time had over 300 students enrolled and offered Nursery through Grade 5.
By the end of that year, a donor was found who provided funds to build the first block of three classrooms, which were completed by June of 2017. Classrooms for Africa representatives attended the opening celebrations of that building. To help furnish the classrooms, Christian school communities in Western Canada collected funds to purchase desks for older students and seats and tables for the youngest students.
In June 2018, NISSI celebrated the opening of a second block of 5 classrooms with much fan-fare and marching students to escort the visitors who were very impressed to see the growth of the school in terms of enrolment, quality of education and performance of students in state exams.
The local community is very supportive of the school. Local government officials have donated a water collection tank which is of great benefit during the dry months. In addition, members of the community make the uniforms for students to wear. Thank you, donors, for making a huge and long-term difference in the lives of the NISSI community.

On music and writing (and a HUNTRESS playlist)/
I grew up with music in my house because my mother is a pianist. Before we immigrated to the United States, she was a professional musician in China. After we moved here, one of the first things my parents bought was a little upright piano. I began having piano lessons when I was about four or five years old, and now, my mother is a piano teacher with her own studio. But, though I had piano lessons for about eleven years total, and I wasn't bad at it, music did not come naturally to me at all. I wanted to be a writer, not a musician, and for pretty much the entire time I had piano lessons, I fought against them. When I finally gave up piano when I was in high school, I promptly forgot (probably on purpose) how to read music.
It's interesting, then, to realize that music has become an integral part of my writing. I'm sure it's because I grew up with it embedded in my life.
I don't always listen to music when writing. Sometimes I have to write in silence — often at the beginning of a project, when I'm trying to figure out the right style to write in. But once I get going, I really like to have some music playing to maintain the mood I'm trying to evoke. Usually I have to begin with wordless music — orchestral or electronic. Songs with words tend to disrupt my writing voice at first, but the deeper I get into a project, the more I'm able to listen to songs with words. By the time I finish a book, I usually have a pretty long list of songs that I associate with the book.
When I have writer's block, I like to take long walks while listening to the songs on the playlist. The music helps to put me into the space of the story, and sometimes actively searching for songs that "feel right" can also help me to understand my characters. I totally go by gut instinct here, and discovering the right music can be such a great light-bulb moment!
With Huntress, I knew from the beginning that the book would be based in Chinese culture, so I started listening to some traditional Chinese music that I had. However, I quickly realized that it was too Chinese. I wasn't going for an accurate recreation of Imperial China in my novel; I was going for a culture that felt much more like a hybrid of Chinese, Japanese, and Western influences. So I needed to find music that was created at an Asian crossroads.
The first music that really got me thinking about Huntress was the album Silk Road Journeys: Beyond the Horizon, from Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. One piece that just gripped me from the beginning was "Summer in the High Grassland," composed by Zhao Jiping, who has also composed a number of film scores for Chinese director Zhang Yimou. This piece really captures the feeling that I wanted to evoke in much of Huntress. Which, um, may be a spoiler if you're into music interpretation. :)
On Silk Road Journeys, the piece is performed by Yo-Yo Ma, but I couldn't find a rendition of that online. Instead, I found this amazing live performance by duo Jalal on YouTube:
That piece just gets me every time! It's so incredible!
I also listened to parts of various soundtracks, including Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, composed by Tan Dun, and Memoirs of a Geisha, composed by John Williams. Yo-Yo Ma performs on these two albums, too, so clearly I was really into the cello!
In addition to the orchestral works above, I listened to a lot of songs. Here is a pared-down list of the songs I most associate with writing Huntress (videos provided when available):
1. "Common Reaction" - Uh Huh Her — I actually listened to Uh Huh Her's entire album, Common Reaction, repeatedly while writing Huntress. I love it!
2. "Maps" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs — I love the intensity of this song, and its certainty. "They don't love you like I love you."
3. "Open Your Eyes" - Snow Patrol — For me, this song is about a slow build to a grand conclusion.
4. "In My Place" - Coldplay — I also like this song for the slow build.
5. "Frozen" - Madonna — This song reminds me of [name redacted] in the book. Guess who? Also: one of the coolest videos ever!
6. "Little Wild One" - Joan Osborne — I just love this song. It is achey and beautiful.
7. "Moment of Surrender" - U2 — Also achey and beautiful. "I've been in every black hole/At the altar of the dark star."
8. "Angelhead" - Supreme Beings of Leisure — This is a makeout song, albeit a kind of melancholy one.
9. "The Full Sentence" - Pigeonhed — Another makeout song. (You can't have just one.)
10. "Explode" - Uh Huh Her — This is the song I associate most with Huntress. I will let you guess why. (It has nothing to do with the video, which I find kinda weird!)
11. "Starts With One" - Shiny Toy Guns — I like this song because of the percussion driving it forward, but actually the lyrics are kind of appropriate for the climax of the book.
12. "White as Snow" - U2 — This song encapsulates, for me, the end of Chapter 37.
13. "Skeletons" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs — This song just felt right to me.
14. "Wait Another Day" - Uh Huh Her — Bittersweet love song alert!
15. "With Every Heartbeat" - Robyn — Another bittersweet love song. Hopefully with hope at the end?
Hope you liked some of the songs! And don't forget, you have until May 1 to get a limited edition signed bookplate for Huntress.


text: Edward Keon, quantitative strategist at Prudential, believes a successful end to the war with Iraq will lead to an economic, earnings and stock market rebound, as investors' willingness to accept risk is likely to normalize. Keon's research indicates that the current implied equity risk premium is 40 to 50 percent higher than the average over the past 77 years. "Success in Iraq will not eliminate risk, but at the margin, we think that risk premium will shrink," Keon said. "We have been in a vicious cycle of falling stocks, rising tensions and a weak economy -- that cycle could reverse, probably led by stocks."

On a More Personal Note
There was a time in my life, a long time ago now, when I just couldn't enjoy much of anything. The world, it seemed to me, stood at arm's length, frozen, out of reach. Nothing touched me, really.
I remember a moment, for instance, sitting on a beach on the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, where I was living at the time. The sun was setting. The colors of the sky - red, orange, blazing yellow - danced on the silvery sweep of the incoming tide.
"This is beautiful," I told myself. "This is beautiful."
But it didn't matter. Because it didn't feel beautiful. And beauty, of course, is something that either touches us or doesn't. No amount of willpower opens the heart to a sunset.
Back then, I was meditating already, and had been for some time. For me, though, the effects of meditation came in stages. Waves, really. I learned to focus first, and my grades went through the roof. But social anxiety still plagued me. (I once spent an hour sitting alone at the bottom of a coat closet as a college party raged.) And the problem of feeling somehow outside of myself, separate from beauty, and pleasure, and other people, continued.
These subtler dynamics - the way alienation feels, or what it's like to be melted by a sunset - are something that a discussion of the meditation research simply can't reach. Science itself can't reach these experiences, riding as it does on an objectivist epistemology.
Still, I remember when the world began to break in through this frozenness. I was living at the Zen monastery. It began to happen in meditation. And then it began to happen as I walked between buildings. A feeling like ice melting. A gradual sense of being touched, something like communion.
Dogen, the 13th century Zen master, speaks of mountains walking. We lived on Crestone Mountain, and that mountain walked for me. I walked with the mountain. Sometimes these days, the whole world walks, or there is no world, there is only walking.
I was back in Hawaii a couple weeks ago, sitting on the beach. Such sweetness, to sit on warm sand, watching waves, letting the sun set. I don't know anything about enlightenment, but I do know the joy of body and mind touched by salt air, sunset, shades of red. And for that joy, so hard won for me, I am grateful.

I've posted quite a few houses in SOL before, but I think this one is probably my favorite of them all. Designed by KRDB in 2013 it looks fresh as ever now. It is one of the more expensive in the community, but it's also one of the biggest and my favorite which must count for something right?

I came across this product, the Touch Up Topper online. It is a heat resistant mat that lays over your dryer to use as an ironing surface. It has magnets in the corners to help hold it in place. I thought that sounded like a good idea, and found a few other versions of ironing mats in my searches.
- Large mat with grid for measuring and cutting fabric as well! (With scissors, not rolling cutters, as far as I can tell)
- Silicone pad that claims to iron both sides at once.
You can get the backer fabric at Joann

6 Tips for Setting Realistic Profit Expectations
If you are just starting your own business either by yourself, or with other people, then you may not know exactly what to expect in terms of profits. This is because you have not been operating for multiple years, and do not have enough data to help you calculate reasonable profit expectations.
However, being able to estimate profits is extremely important for new business owners. This is because it can help you to figure out whether or not your business will be solvent and successful. Here are some great tips for setting realistic profit expectations for your business.
1. Calculate all of your expenses
It should be possible and relatively straightforward for you to calculate all of the expenses for your business. This can include costs for things like rent, supplies, wages, utilities, etc. All of these things will be subtracted from the gross profits that your company makes. Once the expenses of your business are subtracted from the gross profits, then you will be left with the net profit, which is what you will actually be able to keep. So, calculating all of your business expenses is very important for being able to accurately predict your net profits.
2. Estimate future sales
If you want to know what level of profit your business will generate, then you will need to have some strategy for estimating sales. There are multiple ways to do this. If you are already in operation, then you can view your sales for three months and get the average amount of sales per month by adding up all three figures then dividing this number by three. Then you can multiply the result by whatever period of time you want. If you want to predict your sales for one year, you can multiply it by 12 for example. This can give you a rough estimate of what your sales might be like over the next year.
3. Factor in foreseeable variables
For example, if you have already received purchase orders for a few major sales that are above what you normally bring in, then these should be factored in. Similarly, if the economy has just taken a major downturn and if you anticipate that your business will suffer because of this, then you should factor this in, too. A large downturn in the economy could result in dramatically reduced profits.
4. Know how to calculate profit margins accurately
This may seem overly simple. However, this is something that many people actually get wrong, and it can throw off their profit expectations significantly. For example, many people assume that if they make something for $2 and sell it for $3, then their profit margins are 50 percent for this item. However, this is incorrect. The profit margins for such an item would actually be 33.3 percent. This is because 1 dollar, the actual profit, is 33.3 percent of the total sale, not 50 percent. So, make sure you make profit margin calculations correctly.
5. Factor in taxes
Forgetting to factor in the amount of money that they will owe in taxes is another key mistake that many business owners make when they are setting profit expectations. Failing to accurately account for taxes is something that can really throw off net profit calculations. No matter whether your business is a sole proprietorship, a partnership, an LLC, a C Corp, or an S Corp, you will be taxed on the money that you make with your business. The way that you are taxed and the amount that you are taxed may vary significantly depending on your business structure, but as long as your business generates a significant income, then you will be taxed. So, you need to include tax estimates when you are trying to figure out what your profits will be. Otherwise, your figures could be way off.
6. Don't ignore key data or information
Many business owners have a tendency to be overly optimistic and to overlook key data or information when they are estimating the profits that they can make. For example, some business owners overlook rising operating costs, increasing competition, or decreasing customer demand. These are all things that you should not do. Ignoring key data or information can definitely make your profit expectations incorrect. So, instead, you need to make sure that you pay close attention to such information and factor it into your profit calculations.
It is good to be optimistic when you are first starting your business because positive energy can help to keep you motivated and focused. However, if you are too optimistic, or if you make other key mistakes such as those mentioned in this article when you are estimating profits, then you could quickly find yourself in trouble. So, for the health of your business, try to avoid making key profit predicting mistakes, in order to generate more realistic numbers. This can help you in the long run.

Goddess Chanel likes to teach guys a lesson. She does it in the most cruel way she can. Today she was joined by her friend mistress BlackDiamoond. The mistresses undressed the loser and they crushed his balls and his dick using their high heels. They even kicked him in the groin and he screamed in pain at what they were doing to him. He had to learn his lesson and he did.
Madame Marissa was showing madame Madison how to humiliate a slave like a boss. Madame Marissa is not one to waste her energy in slave humiliation. She likes to make the slave do most of the work. She sat on her favorite chair and she made the slave lick her smelly shoes and suck and lick her sweaty feet. Madame Madison watched and took notes of how it was done.
Trampling her slave is what this mistress wanted to do. She had tried to talk to her slave but he did not seem to change what she wanted him to change. So she was left with no other option but to punish him and make him know that she meant business. She trampled his face using her flip flops and then with her bare feet. When she was done, he was in pain, felt humiliated and swore never to ignore her again.
Miss Anya and Miss Christyna are two brutal blondes who gang up on one old fat slave. He stands in the middle of the room while they kick him hard and destroy his cock and balls with ballbusting. They kick him hard in the face then make him lie down so they can jump up and down on top of him and trample him with their full weight while he lies in pain.
Mistress BlackDiamond can be very brutal with her slaves. She makes this latex covered slave kneel before her as she starts ballbusting by kicking and slapping him in the balls. Then she climbs on his back riding him around the room while she smokes to intensify his humiliation. This looks like some painful torture to endure but this slave will do anything for his mistress. She makes him think he has no choice.
Sexy Herrin Samira and gorgeous Lay Marina have taken their slave out onto the train tracks where no one can see them to teach him an important lesson. That lesson, of course, is that they are in charge and if her disobeys them, then he can expect a lot of pain to be coming his way. They take turns kneeing him right in his balls before moving on to kicking him just as hard.
Mistress Megan is a cruel mistress. She feels great when others are feeling pain and are in misery. It had been long since she had inflicted some pain on someone and she wanted to do it today. She did not find anyone else to do it to so she did it to her slave. She pretended to be mad at him and kicked him hard in the balls and enjoyed how he winced and rolled in pain.
A pair of cruel women wearing skirts decide to punish their submissive slave. He wears only a pair of jungle-printed briefs as he lays helpless on the cloak room floor. The brunette Mistress walks all over him with her red high-heeled shoes. The busty one kicks his balls from behind as he is kneeling. She then makes him lick her black high-heeled shoes. They then make him lick the floor of the cloak room.
Princess Jenny loves to crush things and people with her bare feet. She believes she has tough feet and she does this as a way of proving that. She also likes inflicting pain on other people and she also enjoys seeing people in pain, especially one caused by her. That is how she is and why she is feared by many slaves who know her. They all avoid her at all costs.
Gorgeous brunette Miss Katarina is really in the mood for some severe domination today. She kicks the shit out of this slave kicking him hard in the face several times. She gets him on the floor and starts trampling him. She jumps up and down and crashes down hard on his body many times. She puts him through brutal facebusting and ballbusting and all he can do is just lie there and take it.

Suite magazine
I've created new sections as the trend topic "Je T'M" and commission the editorial content for example the Renown fashion photographer Daniel Sanwald published his first fashion editorial in Suite. Other collaborators' names are Daniel Riera, Luis Vengas and Nacho Alegre. After a year I move to Paris and partner with Carlos Ramirez to expand all the fashion and lifestyle content in the magazine. What started as a local Barcelona base publication end up gaining international recognition to the point of being on the shelves of top taste maker shops as Colette in Paris.

Millennial trendsetters are sharing plant love and green inspiration, not only on Pinterest and Instagram, but in plant swaps and design jungle events. We reached out to Frida Ramstedt, the woman behind Trendenser, ELLE Deco interior design blog of the year, to enquire about plant displays that Millennials have fallen for.
Words: Meri
Millennials are going "potty for plants", according to The Guardian. Green plants are most definitely a big trend at the moment, as can be witnessed by plant groups on Facebook, hashtags and influencers on Instagram; and the events plant lovers attend, varying from blog events to design jungle workshops.
Green friends are also adored because they are beautiful home décor. Green inspiration and plant styling ideas are received and shared on Pinterest and Instagram. Because of the trend, now many have also become true collectors of plants, perhaps even of specific plant families. Coleus is trending in Scandinavia, because they are easy to take cuttings from and share – for example, proud plant owners connect with each other using the hashtag #palettbladunite. Fiddle leaf fig is trending in London, Coleus among Stockholmers, and cacti everywhere, from Coachella to Shoreditch. Belonging in a plant group on social media is now a must: for the best ones, you must have a recommendation to be accepted. People love to nurture and take good care of their plants, and are more and more aware of the positive health effects of having a green plant or an entirely green wall.
Plant swap events are trending in the major capitals, from Berlin to New York. Together with Berlin Kreativ Kollektiv, Plant Circle organises workshops, such as the How to Not Kill Your Plants workshop, educating plant enthusiasts about which plants to put where, as well as about repotting, health benefits, and how to grow an avocado plant from scratch. The New York plant swap event is hosted by Lululemon and can be followed livestream.
"Plants do give us fresh air to breathe and help us keep a healthy environment. But I also think we like to take care of things we can control when the world is a bit noisy and scary."
To dig deeper in the depths of the popular plant trend, we asked Frida Ramstedt, the woman behind Scandinavia's most popular interior design blog Trendenser, about which plants are gaining momentum.
Which or what types of indoor plants are on trend at the moment?
Green plants without 'flowers', such as Monstera, Geranium, and cacti, are very much on trend right now.
What types of plant displays and décor are trending?
Not just window plants, but larger ones: fig trees in the size of 'small indoor trees', placed in corners, as well as flower benches and hanging pots that are used a bit further in our rooms than just where the daylight catches them.
For which green plants have you fallen for yourself?
I love Geranium for the sweet perfume they give to a room, as well as Philodendron due to its size and easy maintenance.
Do you think green plants are a particularly big trend right now? Where does the trend manifest itself?
I believe the trend is a sign of manifestation for the importance of our environment. Plants do give us fresh air to breathe and help us keep a healthy environment. But I also think we like to take care of things we can control when the world is a bit noisy and scary. Perhaps the world politics, the current environmental situation and the terror threats make us more eager to look after the smaller things in our lives?

Gecrellin mentioned Sirolimus [Rapamune, aka Rapamycin] in his recent post; it is an mTOR inhibitor.
Rapamycin was in the news today, because of a dog study [1]. Just why this anti-aging study made the front page of the NY Times is a mystery, since there is coverage elsewhere going back to 2014. Anyway, the premise is that Rapamycin at low dosage might extend the lives of dogs - & therefore, perhaps, of humans.
The only species, other than man, that develops PCa, is the canine. There would be outrage if a PCa study or any other study were to be conducted on dogs in a U.S. lab, but these were all volunteers (thanks to their owners). Of interest, is the use of a low dose, since Rapamycin can have serious side effects.
Rapamycin was named after Rapa Nui [Easter Island], where it was discovered in 1972. In humans (dogs too), it was found to inhibit a protein that was given the amusing name: mammalian target of rapamycin [mTOR].
A PubMed search on <prostate mtor> returns 525 hits. Limiting the search to "mTOR" appearing in the title narrows the hits to 116 - an astonishing number, I feel.
A search of ClinicalTrials.gov using <prostate mtor> returns 23 hits. Again, impressive.
Seems that a lot of time & smart money has been invested in mTOR & its inhibition.
A spoiler paper appeared last month [2]
"mTOR pathway activation is reported in prostate cancer, but clinical trials testing efficacy of mTOR inhibitors were unsuccessful."
"Surprisingly, the mTOR signaling pathway is activated specifically in prostate cancer patients with a favorable outcome."
That doesn't mean that mTOR is our friend, of course. However, mTOR inhibition trials are hardly likely to work in men where the mTOR pathway has not been activated.
In general, the mTOR signaling pathway is actually PI3K/Akt/mTOR. A benefit of PI3K activation is inhibition of the androgen receptor [AR]. Inhibition of PI3K automatically means more AR activity. i.e. it is not a good idea to directly inhibit PI3K as some mTOR inhibition studies have done.
The studies that added Casodex might have done better with Xtandi. In any case, AR inhibition is essential if PI3K is to be inhibited.
A number of non-human studies have occurred that used natural substances:
[N1] Ursolic Acid (from Holy Basil, etc.)
[N2] Quercetin (from onions, etc) - study used an analog.
[N3] Resveratrol (from grape skins)
[N4] Vitamin D + Metformin
[N5] Curcumin (from turmeric)
[N6] DHA (marine omega-3 fatty acid)
[N7] Brassinin (from cabbage)
[N8} Fistetin (from strawberries)
[N9] Licorice
[N10] Honokiol (from Magnolia grandiflora)
& others
Reported mTOR inhibition trials - latest first:
[T1] Everolimus + Casodex in CRPC cases.
"Of 24 patients, 18 ... had a PSA response {at least 30% reduction}, whereas 15 ... had a PSA decrease ≥50%."
"The median overall survival was 28 months ..."
"Fourteen patients ... developed ... adverse events"
[T2] Temsirolimus after Docetaxel in CRPC
"Temsirolimus maintenance therapy after successful docetaxel induction is feasible, does not adversely affect quality of life, and, in this exploratory single-arm phase II study, resulted in a median {time to treatment failure} of 24.3 weeks."
[T3] Phase II Trial of Everolimus, Carboplatin, and Prednisone in Metastatic CRPC.
"The addition of the mTOR inhibitor everolimus to carboplatin demonstrated minimal clinical efficacy"
[T4] Phase I Trial of Ridaforolimus + MK-2206
"No patients with prostate cancer responded" Only 8 PCa cases.
Very disappointing because patients were included based on PI3K pathway dependence. The study design was focussed on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
[T5] Phase I/II Trial of Everolimus + gefitinib in patients with metastatic CRPC.
"The combination of gefitinib and everolimus did not result in significant antitumor activity. The induction of PSA in tumors treated with mTOR inhibitors was consistent with preclinical data showing that phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway signaling feedback inhibits the androgen receptor (AR). This clinical evidence of relief of feedback inhibition promoting enhanced AR activity supports future studies combining PI3K pathway inhibitors and second-generation AR inhibitors in CRPC."
[T6] Phase II study of Temsirolimus in chemotherapy-naïve CRPC.
"Temsirolimus monotherapy has minimal activity in chemotherapy-naïve CRPC."
[T7] Ridaforolimus + Casodex in patients with asymptomatic, metastatic CRPC.
Another bust!
[T8] Phase 2 trial of Everolimus in chemotherapy-naive CRPC.
"Everolimus activity in unselected patients with mCRPC is moderate, but PTEN deletion could be predictive for response. Several serum glycoproteins were able to predict {progression-free survival} at 12 wk. Prospective validation of these potential biomarkers is warranted."
[T9] Phase II trial of RAD001 + Casodex for CRPC.
"The combination of RAD001 and bicalutamide in men with CRPC was well tolerated but had low activity and failed to achieve the primary endpoint of improved response compared to the results previously achieved for bicalutamide alone in this population."
[T10] Rapamycin in men prior to prostatectomy.
"At 3 mg daily, rapamycin successfully and safely inhibited prostate cancer S6 phosphorylation and achieved relatively high prostate tissue concentrations. No effect on AKT phosphorylation, tumor proliferation, or apoptosis was observed."
