Christmas Shoppers Are My Tenth Circle of Hell
I need to take a lesson from Bitsy and get all my holiday shopping done by the end of summer. The swarms of people is maddening, and this is just another reason why I should live in a small cabin in the woods and not a big-time city full of hustle and bustle. I just don't like crowds; I can't concentrate as well, and there's a cow mentality (moooooo) that just gets under my skin.
Question of the day: What's your favorite circle of hell from Dante's Inferno?
Mine would be the Third Circle. Down with gluttons, down with gluttons!
Them stories that you tell me are so hard to swallow
You said "Go to hell" but I know you'd just follow
The future's closing in quicker than you think
and hanging with you I know why Henry drinks

Dreaming of an Xbox 360 and More
EDIT: Oops. That second panel should read "I feel like if I don't, I'll do something rash…like buy an Xbox 360."
Games that are specifically calling to me for the Xbox 360 are Fable 2 (you get a dog!), Oblivion (you get swords and magic spells!), and Fallout 3 (you get to be evil or good or somewhere in the middle/you get a dog!). These are the sort of games that really allow a player to…roleplay. Which is right up my alley. I love the idea of open-world games, and I've yet to really play one other than the early PS2 Grand Theft Auto games. Those were okay, but as you know Bob I'm a fantasy junkie. Not a car fiend. So in the mean time I'm trying to beat some ignored games from my collection and save up some cash.
But oh,
if when I do get an Xbox 360, I promise y'all the first thing we will do is frolic in a field.

My Shopping Cart Gets Stolen
So, guess who it was that stole my shopping cart:
A. Regina Spektor
B. Victoria's Secret lingerie model
C. Michael Caine in the role of Alfred Pennyworth
D. A smelly old lady that made me feel bad cause I was totally ready to yell at her but then she feigned memory loss or whatever and pretended like she never stole my cart in the first place, but merely misplaced it somewhere over by the paper products aisle.

Forgetting a Bag of Yogurts Sucks
Maybe I should just take this as a sign to buy more Ramen noodles over buying healthy-wealthy yogurt? Yes? Agree with me. You'll make my wallet very happy.

Calling the Bank Proves Easy
It turns out that if you create a savings account to keep all the money you got from your college graduation party and then, after three to four years, never make a deposit or withdrawal, the bank people will send you a letter threatening to turn the money over to the state unless, ya know, you prove you are alive.

The Gift Card Conundrum
I immediately went home and threw it in the trashcan. Either way, I still can't get the Target kid's look of abstract horror out of my mind. I mean, really, who in their right mind gets a card with $0.01 on it? Only a madman, that's who! All right, I'm going to go work on my evil robot then…

By Stan Silliman
My Russian friend, Clarkinov, fluent in four languages, a professor of linguistics, loves tennis just came back from his first OU-Texas Red River Rivalry. I was pretty sure the signs, T-shirts and the banter would catch his attention.
"Oh, yeah," I tell him. "When Sooner fans and Longhorn fans meet, there's no civility. But I don't think they're particularly clever."
"But they are! Many Oklahoma fans were wearing shirts with a longhorn steer turned upside-down. Clever, right? They took their mascot – the steer – and turned him on his back. And then, when a Texas fan walked by and held up his index and little finger, the OU fan took the same gesture and pointed it to the ground. It was amazing."
"No, Davidoff," I say. "Not exactly amazing, both fans have their gestures. Did you happen to see any OU fans holding up only one finger?"
"It's a play on the state name, emphasizing 'choke' as if they want to 'choke' the Sooners or maybe implying the OU team doesn't come through in the clutch, seizes up (I grasp my neck in a chocking gesture)."I ask "Did you see any 'Texas Sucks' or 'OU Sucks' shirts?"
"Thousands of them. I understood that one. I saw a few reading 'Tuck Fexas' and that one took me a while. That was not nice. I even saw a few Texas fans wearing a shirt reading 'You Can't Spell DOUCHEBAG without OU.' That, I don't get. Certainly you need the letters 'o' and 'u' to spell words that have the oo sound. You can't spell 'soup' without 'ou' either. Soup is good."
"What else did you see?"
"I saw a few saying 'MAKE TEXAS TOAST' and then I saw more Sooner fans wearing Longhorn shirts except where the horns should be there were handcuffs with the words 'BOOK 'EM.' I didn't understand either of those shirts. I like Texas toast."
"Davidoff," I explain, "those are tough ones. I like Texas toast, too, but in this case they're using toast to mean 'done'. As in 'he's finished, he is TOAST.' Clever… by half, right? The 'BOOK 'EM' thing is a little harder to explain. Here it is. Texas fans love to say 'Hook 'em' as if Bevo, their mascot has hooked his horns into somebody. Like if you're a bull and you gore somebody, you've hooked 'em. But at the same time, an unusual amount of Texas players get arrested…"
Clarkinov looks puzzled and then says "No. No, I can't say I've ever…"
"Well, during the game, did you ever hear a cannon being fired… after a score?"
"I did. I do remember a cannon going off."

The science of looking young is not that old. It's also getting more efficient, less invasive and more available every day. Dr. Robert Morrell, founder of the Medical Rejuvenation Centre in Vancouver, is a leader in non-invasive aesthetic medicine.
There's no surgery involved, all the anti-aging procedures are done via energy devices, lasers or medical-grade cosmeceuticals. If all that sounds new to you, it's because it is. "Non-surgicall treatments of aging processes have only been around for about 20 years," Dr. Morrell says. "And we caught on to the wave when it first came on."
Dr. Morrell has been in the industry for 16 of those years and for over 20 years before that he was a medical doctor. While Dr. Morrell focused on sports as a medical doctor --he still represents Canada in the Olympic sports medicine committee for alpine sports and ski safety-- he always had a penchant for arts.
Previously, Dr. Morrell's artistic outlet were carvings, he even keeps a few around his office. Then he found a way to mix his passion with his medical degree. "There were two bits of inspiration that drew me into aesthetic medicine," Dr. Morrell said. "The aesthetic part and the creativity is in making significant changes in people's faces, and through that, their lives.
"I always had an artistic bend to me and that fits in really well with fillers and Botox because it's very artistic. The laser part is the same way. You can make changes to people's lives by making their skin smoother, removing acne, making pores smaller or removing acne scars."
Lasers are how Dr. Morrell started in the aesthetic medicine industry. A friend introduced Dr. Morrell to hair removal lasers and then Dr. Morrell went on his own and founded the Medical Rejuvenation Centre. When the clinic first opened, Dr. Morrell only had one technician. That technician also served as the receptionist and anything that the office needed.
Now Dr. Morrell has about 14 employees dedicated to aesthetic medicine and lasers, something Dr. Morrell is still on the forefront of. "I go every year to Harvard to take an updating course," says Dr. Morrell. "I see what are the latest lasers coming out, what are the best ones to use and what the best procedures are." Dr. Morrell's laser knowledge even brought him to develop and teach the first aesthetic medicine course in Canada. His alumni aren't the average college student either, about half of Dr. Morrell's students were doctors looking to expand their knowledge in aesthetic medicine.
Dr. Morrell's knowledge and passion for aesthetic medicine helped grow the two-person centre into the multi-department business it is today.
The Medical Rejuvenation Centre now has its own line of skincare, a graphics department, a marketing department and an operations department in addition to the laser and skincare departments.
Dr. Morrell's company has even been asked to deliver products as far as the Middle East.
At the clinic, Dr. Morrell sees patients of all ages and ethnicities. While people age differently, Dr. Morrell says, the major components are genetics, culture and toxic exposure --such as drinking, smoking and nutrition. Above all though, the major contributor to aging is sunlight. Dr. Morrell says that about 85 percent of the aging issues show through our faces and ultraviolet light is the biggest cause of it.
That's when Dr. Morrell and his team come in, armed with the most modern computers, lasers and medical-grade cosmeceuticals on the market.
While Dr. Morrell enjoys seeing how his company has grown, the most rewarding part of his business is seeing the difference he makes in his patients lives.
"I get rewarded every day," Dr. Morrell said. "Whether its Botox, fillers, or kids getting their acne brought under control, I get people feeling significantly happy on a daily basis. Sometimes it's something that you and I might not notice, but they see every time they look in the mirror."
That's what keeps Morrell coming back to the office. That and the occasional gift.
"I get a lot of bottles of wine," Dr. Morrell laughed.

Despite infuriating reports to the contrary in the media of late, Tottenham Hotspur is a football club united under Mauricio Pochettino's stewardship.
The squad's togetherness, team spirit and close bond have been key attributes in a progressive 24 months for Spurs – with the video below typifying the atmosphere around the North London outfit at the moment.
This is genuinely great to see. Sums up the feel good factor around our club at the moment. #THFC pic.twitter.com/sR8tVuN1yb

Wedding anniversary verses, poems and ditties – Your wedding anniversary is the perfect time to tell the person you love how much you love that person and how much he means to you. There is no more spellbinding to tell your love one how much you love that person than to use the most romantic poems, verses and ditties. You can surely find one which is absolutely right for you. Sometimes, we can't really express how much we truly feel, but the moment we get to read romantic lines, it will surely melt our hearts and use it to express our most cherished feelings.
Where Can You Find Good Marriage Anniversary Greeting Sentiments? A great resource I've found for facing tasks like this is a handy little book called Words to the Rescue. It contains dozens of wedding anniversary greetings as well as hundreds of other greetings for any occasion or event you can think of. It's a great cure for "social writer's block".
A bespoke photo collage. Never underestimate the power of visual appeal. Decide the size of the montage you want to create — huge or medium or something that she can comfortably place on her bedside table. Let your wedding photograph dominate centre stage and fill in the rest of the space with other photos of the two of you.
Personalized apparel and crockery. For a newly-married couple (after one year, you still feel newly-married, right?), cute and romantic gifts continue to be charming. So, monogrammed tees, dressing gowns, coffee mugs or even personalized photo quilts and pillow cases with motifs of hearts and heartbeats make for wonderful first anniversary gifts.
A New Creative Responsibility – With the advent of these customizable cards, the creative responsibility has returned to us. Now, we have the freedom to design the card we want. But with freedom also comes responsibility. We are now responsible for making the card "good". And the most difficult task for many of us is writing the prose on the inside of the card. Fortunately there are resources available to help us with this task.

Help! Just got eaten alive in my first lesson.
August 30, 2011, 03:37:08 pm »
Any advice would be appreciated.
I just finished my first intorductory class.
It's 1st level all boys highschool.
the kids could not have cared less. they were smart allecky and misbehaved the whole time. My coteacher doesn't displine them though, espcially the two class clowns and she told me I should leave displining up to her. She just shows them movies and music videos all class. How am I going to survive a year of this and teach them anything?
Also I don't have a curriculum or anything to go by....

Hey, don't worry too much... It happened to me too when I first started teaching, but don't worry, it get's better...
In the short term, there are plenty of ppts & worksheets on this site to make your classes work better... Remember , kid's are always interesting in flashy graphics, so anything like that that you can use in your classes should work wonders...
In the long term, just try and learn as much as possible about teaching... The good thing is that there are lot's of great teachers on this site, so it shouldn't be too hard to borrow a few ideas from them once in a while...
And as for the kids: my guess is that they're doing that to you because they think they can get away with it... And if the co-teacher isn't doing much, then there's only one thing to do...Take care of it yourself...The next time the class clowns start doing their act, I'd send them to the back...And if they were really disrespectful, I'd get them to do the punishment where they hold them in the air... Don't worry, your co-teacher won't do anything about it, judging from the sound of her...
I came here 5 years not knowing jack s**T about teaching, and now I'm pretty good at it...Just keep at it, and it should work out ...

Teach what you can while being mindful of the type of English classes they are used to. I'm sure that you can use YouTube, movies, and music videos in the classroom (what they are used to) while still introducing semblance of an English lesson that attentive students will gain something from.

I'm sorry it didn't go very well, but it will get better^^ I think the above posts gave good advice.
As far as a curriculum goes, you can try creating simple goals for the students by the end of the semester. Your students are probably low level. Setting up learning goals can make lesson planning easier and give your classes direction. Perhaps you can start with increasing confidence in speaking English (they must be unwilling, or very shy, to speak it), and learning basic terms of survival English. Aside from that, did your school give you any textbook or material to work with?
Ask your co-teacher if your class is part of their English grade. You should test your students to see if they fulfilled the goals you set for them in some way. You can also implement a system that rewards students that participate in class. In my classes, students get a stamp; many students are more than willing to raise their hand.

That is brilliant! I am in my first week of teaching and I am doing the introduction road show with my high school classes which range from very low level to very advanced. The advanced are great...there are always jokers in every class...but two of my co-teachers are very good with discipline. One isn't. I still have two more teachers to teach with this week. I have one class of low-level that is very difficult so I am going to talk with the teacher again about discipline. THis si my first week and I will learn lots.
All the comments on this post are very helpful.

Hang in there! It should only get better.
Also, try using a reward system of sorts? I do stamp sheets (25 stamps) and students can earn stamps by participating, winning games, or even as classroom management (if everyone is quiet for the next two minutes, everyone will get a stamp). Usually it also helps to put like a halfway point in your stamp sheet where they can get a small prize, etc. It's worked really well for me!

I feel for you. I teach at a middle school level and a lot of students refuse to learn...I even had one student tell me that they liked the other teacher better. The other day, I had a student say, "I don't care!". Possibly try two things: 1. Try and find out who are the "leaders" or the dominant ones in class and get them on your side. Have them start games, lead others into activities. Therefore, it can help them to have the others quiet down. 2. Focus on the students who want to learn. After time, I learned that it was the only way for me to stay sane and to feel better about teaching them. All the best to you in your new adventure!

You have to always remember not to take their actions personally. I've always had at least one bad apple in my classes, and at times they changed as time went on. It is important you treat all of them equally and lay your expectations out as clearly as possible.

First step towards getting better is reflecting on what went wrong.
Organization is key: Make sure you have all your materials ready and you know where they are.
Transitions: Plan how the students will move from one activity to the next. Focus on minimizing confusion, wasted time, distractions. For example, you might plan an activity where all the students will use white boards. DO NOT give them the white boards and markers until you finished explaining the activity and have checked they understand it. If you give them white boards their first instinct is to draw things all over it and ignore your instructions.
Giving instructions: A lot of students might just not follow your instructions. Use visuals to help them understand. Explain the directions and have them written down on the board/projector. Model what you want them to do before you do it. Ask one or two students to repeat the instructions back to you. If there is still confusion after that, have your coteacher translate it.
Technology: Use it. Video, Audio, Music, touch screen, "word clouds", .ppt, etc. Just check it before your start to make sure its working.
Pacing: Keep an eye on the clock, make sure you have enough time to present the lesson (something interesting to teenage boys - soccer, computer games, K-pop girl groups, soccer, funny videos), teach the material (what is the target sentence/vocabulary/grammar they should be learning, have the students practice it (interesting speaking/writing/listening activity) and then check to make sure they understand it. (exit question, exit card, team quiz,etc...)
Discipline - Outline your expectations before hand. Explain the consequences. Be clear. Be consistent. Be fair. For example, in my class, I tell the students BE and they all yell QUIET and then shut up. If someone talks, we do it again. If someone talks again, then hands on their head. If they do it again, everyone stands up. If they do it again, then hands in the air. It's never gotten farther than that. If it does, I will have everyone sit down and the one person who screwed up again has to stand with his hands up for a minute or I'll move him to a seat in the back.
Choices - This is so underestimated. Give them a choice of what to do individually. Let's say they have to write a paragraph. Let them choose to write in pen, pencil, crayon, marker, whatever. You want them to speak. Let them choose the role and you take the other role. The trick is this - make sure that whatever they choose is something you want them to do and it's something that they feel empowered by. Don't use it as an ultimatum. For example, "Write the paragraph or stay after class." That is not really giving them a choice. It's not going to work. Moving seats as a punishment - Avoid the power struggle by anticipating it. I've gotten burned before. I told a student to move his chair and he wouldn't move. It was a big struggle and I wound up losing because it took 5 minutes for him to move his chair. It was ridiculous and he won. Now what I do is this. Give them a warning. If they do it again, walk over and tell them if I say your name again you have to move. You can sit over there, or over here. (Both choices are somewhere you want them to sit.) Then I ask them, do you understand. Then they say yes. Then the next time they distract you or others. Tell them, ok, I warned you, and you agreed. Now choose your new seat. They won't fight because they agreed and they still get a choice for their new seat.
Problem students: The "One Sentence Intervention" Every time you see the student, say something you notice about him. "Hey, you wear blue a lot." "Your hair cut is very short." "You always have a pencil." Seek them out if you don't see them every day. They don't even need to be compliments. The student will start to realize that you notice him. And will act out less. Usually they are acting out for attention. (But you're giving it them before they even need it, so you beat them to a punch). Then what will happen a few days after you start this, is they will act out more a couple of times to test you. They aren't used to having a teacher giving them individual attention in a positive/neutral way, so they are testing to see if you are doing it genuinely. React calmly and consistently. Just smile and tell him, My student's raise their hands when they want to speak." Turn around and don't say another word to him. Then he will realize you are being genuine and you won him over. (It doesn't work every time, but I've had a lot of success with this).
That should be enough to get you started! Good luck!!!

Hey welcome to Korea, and welcome to teaching high school.
I too teach high school, and it can be a circus, but please remind yourself they're just teenagers, and they're doing only what is natural for their age (i.e. looking cool, not caring, trying to one-up each other).
To think you will have silence throughout your lesson is a bit unrealistic.
This is what I do with my tech students.
of the 50 minutes I *teach* for about 15-20minutes.
I always give them a worksheet, simple, and direct. Multiple choice, fill in the blank (with word bank included), crosswords, word searches, jumbles, all related to the topic we covered during the 15~20 mins
And of course the topic! Believe it or not not having a curriculum is beneficial in many ways. I would find it absolute hell if I were to be forced to teach my students from a book.
Since you are at an all boys school emphasize on the things that they are interested in. Girls, Sports, Technology, Comedy, Movies, Fashion, Food, Music/Dance et al
Use another 10-15 minutes going over the answers. If you have one of those touch screen tv's have your students go up and give an answer to the worksheet.
With the remaining time let them keep it for themselves. This may go against what many people may feel as appropriate, but it works for me, as the students are provided incentive to finish their worksheets and collectively provide the correct answers.
if you need any more help or advice jus pm me
last tidbit of info/advice: never get to high or too down in this job. consistency is king

I'm doing my first lesson next Monday. The students have seen me in the hallways and sometimes I observe the classes that my co teacher teaches, to get a feel of the co teacher's teaching style and how the students are. They find me quite fascinating, in terms of appearence, because I look Korean , but I'm actually Chinese and I'm also about as tall as them and look like I"m 16. Will the novelty wear off? Are there any ways I can use their interest in me to my advantage to help motivate them or interest them in learning English

Planning is key. There's nothing like am easy to follow lesson that is fun and interesting.
I think you should use lots of music video's on youtube. Does you school have an internet connection with youtube. Whatever you do don't allow yourself to become the school disc jockey. If they make requests tell them politely that you will consider their requests next class. Always prevue their requests and stay away from using anything that might be too vulgar or sexual. I've had Middle school boys request rap video's that were completely inappropriate.
First show the video have them fill in some kinda cloze activity. Make rules if they don't do the cloze activity you will turn off the video and you will make them work out of their standard English text book. Once one kid makes a paper airplane with the material come down on his like a ton of bricks. If you do nothing others will destroy damage and play with teaching materials.
After you play the video you can find Kareoke videos. Karafuns is also a great Kareake site on EFL Classroom. After a while music video's will get a little stale. when it does try bomb games and or What happens next?" Video's. What happens next video's are funny video's on youtube where student spredict what will happen next. For the really low classes some of them have text and the students just pick one of the three.

(Keynote Speaker)
Arizona State University, USA
Keynote Lecture: Unconventional physics in pseudospin-1 Dirac materials
Abstract: Quantum materials hosting a flat band, such as pseudospin-1 lattices and magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, can exhibit drastically new phenomena including unconventional superconductivity, orbital ferromagnetism, and Chern insulating behaviors with topological edge states. These materials are relevant to a variety of physical systems ranging from photonic crystals, optical lattices, two-dimensional electronic lattices and superconducting qutrit to crystalline solids and even bosonic systems. In this talk, two unexpected physical phenomena will be presented: one in massless and another in massive pseudospin-1 Dirac material systems....(Learn More)

Meet women in india
Meet fun women and men in India - for free
India will face their biggest challenge so far in the ICC Women's World T20 when they lock horns with a gifted Australian team in an. Marriott x TED Salon: Meet Zubaida Bai, an advocate for women's health in India and the developing world. Sarah Khan Wednesday, October 3. Jump headfirst back into the love game with InterracialDatingCentral - the water is nice and there's plenty of Indian women who want to meet white men like you.
She also set up a software company that builds teleradiology software, to take diagnostic solutions to patients in rural areas who could not afford it.
The journey has been a roller-coaster ride since then. Portea brings to patients services at home, covering the full range of geriatric, chronic, post-operative care as well as allied healthcare services that are affordable and convenient to access.
They are also in constant touch with their customers to see what they are looking for and discover new solutions. The aim of Mpower is to remove stigma, the primary roadblock to mental wellness. Anu Acharya — MapMyGenome Anu Acharya Anu Acharya started Mapmygenome in to ensure that people became aware of their genetic makeup and worked towards preventing diseases.
When it comes to genetics, India does not have the same access as the West and the amount of data available on the Indian genome is limited. It covers about conditions, traits, and drug correlations, and provides a report on your disease predisposition. He envisaged empowering a million to impact a billion for economic prosperity.
His prowess in entrepreneurial training coupled with her infallible experience in healthcare research — not to mention their compassion and faith in education and technology being able to bridge every conceivable gap in healthcare — formed the foundation for 1M1B.How Easy is it to Pick Up Indian Girls for Foreigner ???
The organisation tries to fill the gap between those who have the solutions to a problem grassroot entrepreneurs and those who face the problem civilians who lack the means to access sophisticated healthcare. They provide the former skill training and access to technologies, to help them launch their own microenterprises in problem areas for the latter.
Geetha Manjunatha and Nidhi Mathur - Niramai With the alarming rise in breast cancer cases in India, the need for a number of preventive solutions for early detection and cure becomes paramount. One out of every two women diagnosed with breast cancer in India fails to make it.
The method of breast cancer screening can detect tumours five times smaller than what clinical examination can detect. Considering it is less expensive and does not require heavy equipment, this solution is ideal for smaller towns where affordable healthcare is still a rarity. Whether you are looking for a professional woman who will continue to pursue her career once married or a stay-at-home mum, you should explicitly indicate it.
In this case, we would recommend you turn your attention to women of different backgrounds to Indian women since the latter are typically in search of earnest men to marry.
How can I get to meet Indian brides for marriage? A beautiful Indian woman wanting to escape the boundaries of a traditional Indian arranged marriage will turn to a dating agency for help.
Literally thousands of those are available in India, some of which are specialized for finding suitable husbands for Indian girls living in Western countries.
Online Dating in India | Date men and women in India | Badoo
Even when their families immigrated to the US or UK decades ago, most hot Indian women, but not all, prefer dating men of similar descent. This is something to remember when browsing through hundreds of profiles of Indian mail order brides. Marriage sites will typically allow their users to enter multiple parameters as filters in their search for a perfect bride.
Nevertheless, the existence of agencies offering to get you in touch with Indian women dating makes this somewhat simpler. Various options of online chatting allow you to get to know one or more hot Indian brides and exchange messages and video calls for a while.
Perhaps you think that education is the most important thing to ask for in a bride? Or simply her looks and physical attractiveness? Whatever filters you enter when starting your search you might want to revisit them and change a few parameters when you realize you left something important out.
100 Women: Meet Kavita Devi, India's first woman WWE wrestler
Is money a big issue with Indian brides? As already mentioned, families of single Indian ladies are keen on having them marry men who are settled enough in life to be able to provide for their wives and family. This neither implies you have to be filthy rich to marry an Indian girl nor that you can find Indian brides for sale.
All it means is that the man must hold a rather well-paid job and be accomplished enough so that your wife will not have to endure too much economic hardship in life. Things to consider when choosing an Indian brides agency Make sure that their business is legal and that they do not offer anything that involves buying or selling women since human trafficking is criminal by international laws.
Take some time to read the stories featured in the Feedback and Review sections of the marriage website you intend to use. Men and women who succeeded at finding their future partners via that particular service are eager to share their experiences and possibly warn you of frauds or con artists. Those can be found everywhere, and an online dating platform is no exception. However, legitimate sites far outnumber the bogus ones, and you can quite easily detect the fraudulent ones.
First of all, the latter will ask you for money the minute you click on their website.

40+ Syrian rebel groups forming alliance against Russia
Since Russia has been bombing mostly the anti-Assad forces instead of ISIS, 41 Syrian rebel groups have formed an alliance against the Russia/Iran coalition in Syria.
Russian airstrikes
The Institute for the Study of War reported,
Russian airstrikes continue to primarily target Syrian opposition groups in areas far from ISIS's core terrain. These strikes are concentrated in northwestern Syria, particularly in rebel-held areas of Idlib Province and the northern countryside of Hama Province. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed only three airstrikes targeting positions in known ISIS-held terrain between October 1 and October 3. However, local reporting only confirmed two of these strikes. The Russian air campaign in Syria appears to be largely focused on supporting the Syrian regime and its fight against the Syrian opposition, rather than combatting ISIS.
Rebel Alliance
The rebel alliance issued a joint statement that was sent directly to Reuters via Ahrar al-Sham:
"…Russian military aggression in Syria and the blatant occupation of the country…as well as the targeting of civilians with air strikes in the Homs countryside in western Syria… Civilians have been directly targeted in a manner that reminds us of the scorched earth policy pursued by Russia in its past wars."
The 41 member group includes those under the umbrella of the Free Syrian Army, and Ahrar al-Sham. The al-Sham members are in an alliance with the al-Nusra front (an Al-Qaeda affiliate) and have taken vast portions of Idlib province. The al-Nusra group did not participate in the joint statement.
Reuters reported,
The 41 groups which signed the statement did not include Islamic State or al Qaeda's Syria wing Nusra Front, which is in an insurgent coalition with Ahrar al-Sham that captured most of Idlib province in the northwest.
Insurgents have renewed calls for their Arab backers to supply them with more powerful weapons such as anti-aircraft systems in light of the Russian intervention in the war but Monday's statement appeared to be the most concerted rebel call for action against Russia's move.
What's next?
What are the ramifications of an alliance against the Russia/Iran coalition? It's not pretty. They have called for assistance to other Arab states for heavy weapons to use against the Russian airstrikes.
The rebels in Syria – backed by the U.S.- are a mash of loose affiliations with all ilks of jihadists, including Al-Qaeda. Their loyalties are not necessarily with the West… so as this escalates, the U.S. is once again caught in the middle.
This is so pathetic it's almost funny. Russia been pounding them mainly with 2, yes that's two, SU-34 Strike Fighters. What the hell are they going to do when they bring a squadron or two down. Russians don't have weak stomachs, they'd shoot through a human shield to kill a bad guy. If one of our Armed Services did that, Obama and the Democrats would lock them up for life. Quite frankly, I'm really getting tired of our Country being projected as limp wristed fairies that only kill terrorists from the safety of an unmanned drone.

Japanese mythology is a system of beliefs that embraces Shinto and Buddhist traditions as well as agriculturally based folk religion. The Shinto pantheon comprises innumerable kami (Japanese for "gods" or "spirits"). This article will discuss only the typical elements present in Asian mythology, such as the cosmogony, the important deities, and the best known Japanese stories.
Mainstream Japanese myths, as generally recognized today, are based on the Kojiki, the Nihon Shoki, and some complementary books. The Kojiki, or "Record of Ancient Matters", is the oldest recognized account of Japan's legends and history. The Shintōshū explains origins of Japanese deities from a Buddhist perspective, while the Hotsuma Tsutae records a substantially different version of mythology.
One notable result of Japanese mythology is that it explains the origin of the imperial family, and assigned them godhood. The Japanese word for the Emperor of Japan, tennō (天皇), means "heavenly emperor".
[edit] Creation mythEdit
Main article: Japanese creation mythIn the Japanese creation myth, the first deities which came into existence are collectively called Kotoamatsukami, who appeared at the time of the creation of the universe.
Later, the seven generations of kami, which are known as Kamiyonanayo ("Seven Generations of the Age of the Gods"), emerged after the formation of heaven and earth.[1]
According to the Kojiki, these deities appeared after the emergence of Kotoamatsukami. The first two generations are single deities called hitorigami, while the five that followed came into being as male/female pairs of kami: brothers and sisters that were at the same time married couples. In total, Kamiyonanayo comprise 12 deities in this chronicle.[1]
In contrast, the chronicle, Nihon Shoki, points out that this group was the first to appear after the creation of the universe. It also states that the first three generations of deities are hitorigami and that the other generations of deities are pairs of the opposite sex. The Japanese also cited the works of "chinglea" the Rice god. every harvest she was praised for delivering rice to pesants.
[edit] Kuniumi and KamiumiEdit
Main articles: Kuniumi and KamiumiJapan's creation narrative can be divided into the birth of the deities (Kamiumi) and the birth of the land (Kuniumi).
The seventh and last generation of Kamiyonanayo were Izanagi no Mikoto ("Exalted Male") and Izanami no Mikoto ("Exalted Female"),[2] and they would be responsible for the creation of the Japanese archipelago and would engender other deities.[3][4]
To help them to achieve this, Izanagi and Izanami were given a naginata decorated with jewels, named Ame-no-nuboko ("Heavenly Jeweled Spear"). The two deities then went to the bridge between heaven and earth, Amenoukihashi ("Floating Bridge of Heaven") and churned the sea below with the halberd. Drops of salty water formed the island, Onogoro ("self-forming"). The deities descended from the bridge of heaven and made their home on the island. Eventually, they fell in love and wished to mate. So they built a pillar called Amenomihashira around which they built a palace called Yashirodono ("the hall whose area is 8 arms' length squared"). Izanagi and Izanami circled the pillar in opposite directions, and when they met on the other side, Izanami, the female deity, spoke first in greeting. Izanagi didn't think that this was proper, but they mated anyway. They had two children, Hiruko ("leech child") and Awashima ("pale island"), but the children were badly formed and are not considered gods in their original form. (Hiruko later became the Japanese god, Ebisu.)
The parents, who were dismayed at their misfortune, put the children into a boat and sent them to sea, and then petitioned the other gods for an answer about what they had done wrong. They were informed that Izanami's lack of manners was the reason for the defective births: a woman should never speak prior to a man; the male deity should have spoken first in greeting during the ceremony.[5] So Izanagi and Izanami went around the pillar again, and, this time when they met, Izanagi spoke first, and their union was successful. [2]From their union were born the Ōyashima, or the eight great islands of Japan:
The divine couple bore eight more offspring, who later became the eight great islands of Japan.[5] Izanami, however, died giving birth to the child, Kagutsuchi (incarnation of fire) or Homusubi (causer of fire). She was then buried on Mt. Hiba, at the border of the old provinces of Izumo and Hoki, near modern-day Yasugi of Shimane Prefecture. In anger, Izanagi killed Kagutsuchi. His death also created dozens of deities.
The gods who were born from Izanagi and Izanami are symbolic of important aspects of nature and culture.[who?][citation needed]
[edit] YomiEdit
Izanagi lamented the death of Izanami and undertook a journey to Yomi ("the shadowy land of the dead"). Izanagi found little difference between Yomi and the land above, except for the eternal darkness. However, this suffocating darkness was enough to make him ache for light and life. Quickly, he searched for Izanami and found her. At first, Izanagi could not see her for she was well hidden in the shadows. Nevertheless, he asked her to return with him. Izanami spat at Izanagi and informed him that he was too late. She had already eaten the food of the underworld and now belonged to the land of the dead.
Izanagi was shocked at this news, but he refused to give in to her wishes to be left to the dark embrace of Yomi. Izanami agreed to return to the world but first requested to have some time to rest. She instructed Izanagi to not come into her bedroom. After a long wait, Izanami did not come out of her bedroom, and Izanagi was worried. While Izanami was sleeping, he took the comb that bound his long hair and set it alight as a torch. Under the sudden burst of light, he saw the horrid form of the once beautiful and graceful Izanami. The flesh of her ravaged body was rotting and was overrun with maggots and foul creatures.
Crying out loud, Izanagi could no longer control his fear and started to run, intending to return to the living and to abandon his death-ridden wife. Izanami woke up shrieking and indignant and chased after him. Izinami instructed the shikome, or foul women, hunt for the frightened Izanagi and to bring him back.
Izanagi, thinking quickly, hurled his headdress, which became a bunch of black grapes. The shikome fell on these but continued pursuit. Next, Izanagi threw his comb, which became a clump of bamboo shoots. Now it was Yomi's creatures that began to give chase, but Izanagi urinated against a tree and created a great river that increased his lead. Unfortunately, the shikome still pursued Izanagi, who began to hurl peaches at them. He knew that this would not delay them for long, but he was nearly free, for the boundary of Yomi was now close at hand.
Izanagi burst through the entrance and quickly pushed a boulder to the entrance of Yomi. Izanami screamed from behind this barricade and told Izanagi that, if he left her, she would destroy 1,000 living people every day. He furiously replied that he would give life to 1,500.
And so began the existence of Death, caused by the hands of the proud Izanami, the abandoned wife of Izanagi.
[edit] Sun, moon and seaEdit
As could be expected, Izanagi went on to purify himself after recovering from his descent to Yomi. As he undressed and removed the adornments of his body, each item that he dropped to the ground formed a deity. Even more gods came into being when he went to the water to wash himself. The most important ones were created once he washed his face:
- Amaterasu (incarnation of the sun) from his left eye,
- Tsukuyomi (incarnation of the moon) from his right eye, and
- Susanoo (incarnation of storms and ruler of the sea and storms) from his nose.
Izanagi went on to divide the world between them with Amaterasu inheriting the heavens, Tsukuyomi taking control of the night and moon and the storm god Susanoo owning the seas.[6] In some versions of the myth, Susanoo rules not only the seas but also all elements of a storm, including snow and hail, and, in rare cases, even sand.
[edit] Amaterasu and SusanooEdit
Amaterasu, the powerful sun goddess of Japan, is the most well known deity of Japanese mythology. Her feuding with Susanoo, her uncontrollable brother, however, is equally infamous and appears in several tales. One story tells about Susanoo's wicked behavior toward Izanagi, who, tired of Susanoo's repeated complaints, banishes him to Yomi. Susanoo grudgingly acquiesces, but has first to attend some unfinished business. He goes to Takamagahara ("heaven") to bid farewell to his sister, Amaterasu. Amaterasu knows that her unpredictable brother does not have good intentions and is prepared for battle. "For what purpose do you come here?" asks Amaterasu. "To say farewell," answers Susanoo.
But she does not believe him and requests a contest for proof of his good faith. A challenge is set as to who can bring forth more noble and divine children. Amaterasu creates three women from Susanoo's sword, while Susanoo makes five men from Amaterasu's ornament chain. Amaterasu claims the title to the five are attributed to Susanoo. [3][4]Torii at Ama-no-Iwato Shrine, Takachiho, Miyazaki PrefectureBoth gods declare themselves to be victorious. Amaterasu's insistence in her claim drives Susanoo to violent campaigns that reach their climax when he hurls a half-flayed pony (an animal sacred to Amaterasu) into Amaterasu's weaving hall and causes the death of one of her attendants. Amaterasu, angered by the display, hides in the cave called Iwayado. As the sun goddess disappears into the cave, darkness covers the world.
All of the gods and goddesses strive to coax Amaterasu out of the cave, but she ignores them all. Finally, the kami of merriment, Ame-no-Uzume, hatches a plan. She places a large bronze mirror on a tree, facing Amaterasu's cave. Then, Uzume clothes herself in flowers and leaves, overturns a washtub and begins to dance upon it, drumming the tub with her feet. Finally, Uzume sheds the leaves and flowers and dances naked. All of the male gods roar with laughter, and Amaterasu becomes curious. When she peeks outside, a ray of light called "dawn" escapes and Amaterasu is dazzled by the beautiful goddess that she sees, this being her own reflection in the mirror. The god, Ameno-Tajikarawo, pulls her from the cave, which is sealed with a shimenawa. Surrounded by merriment, Amaterasu's depression disappears, and she agrees to return with her light. Uzume is then known as the kami of dawn as well as of mirth.

[edit] Susanoo and OrochiEdit
Susanoo, exiled from heaven, comes to Izumo Province (now part of Shimane Prefecture). It is not long before he meets an old man and an old woman sobbing beside their daughter. The old couple explain that they originally had eight daughters who were devoured, one after the other, by the dragon, Yamata no Orochi ("eight-forked serpent", who is said to originate from Kosi—now Hokuriku region). The terrible dragon had eight heads and eight tails, stretched over eight hills, and is said to have eyes as red as good wine.[7] Kushinada-hime ("rice paddy princess") was the last of the eight daughters.
Susanoo, who knew about the old couple's relation to Amaterasu, offers his assistance in return for their beautiful daughter's hand in marriage. The parents accept, and Susanoo transforms Kushinada into a comb and hides her safely in his hair.[8] He also orders a large fence-like barrier to be built around the house. The fence has eight gates, with eight tables placed at each gate and eight casks placed on each table. Each cask is filled with eight-times-brewed rice wine.
Orochi arrives and finds his path blocked. After boasting about his prowess, he finds that he cannot get through the barrier. His keen sense of smell takes in the sake—which Orochi loves—and the eight heads are now faced with a problem. They want to drink the delicious sake, yet the fence blocks access to the sake. One head suggests that they simply smash the barrier, but that would knock over the sake. Another proposed that they combine their fiery breath and burn the fence to ash, but then the sake would evaporate. The heads begin to search for an opening. They find the hatches, and, eager for the sake, they wish to poke their heads through to drink it. Yet, the eighth head, which is the wisest, warns his brethren about the folly of such an act and volunteers to go through first to ensure that all is well. Susanoo waits for his chance. He allows the head to drink some sake in safety and to report to the others that there is no danger. All eight heads plunge through the hatches and greedily drink every drop of the sake.
As the heads finish, Susanoo launches his attack on Orochi. Drunken from drinking so much sake, the great serpent is no match for the spry Susanoo who decapitates and slays Orochi. A nearby river is said to have turned red with the blood of the defeated serpent. As Susanoo cuts the dragon into pieces, he finds an excellent sword from a tail of the dragon that his sword had been unable to cut. The sword is later presented to Amaterasu and named Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi (天叢雲剣, "Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven", which was later called Kusanagi, "Grass Mower"[9]). This sword was to feature prominently in many other tales.
[edit] Prince ŌnamujiEdit
Ōnamuji (also known as Ōkuninushi) is a descendant of Susanoo. He, along with his many brothers, compete for the hand of Princess Yakami of Inaba. While travelling from Izumo to Inaba to court her, the brothers meet a skinned rabbit lying on a beach. They tell the rabbit to bathe in the sea and to dry in the wind near a high mountain. The rabbit complies and suffers in agony. Ōnamuji, who is lagging behind his brothers, sees the rabbit in pain and instructs it to bathe in fresh water and to cover itself with the powder of the "gama" ("cattail") flower. The cured rabbit, who is actually a deity, informs Ōnamuji that he can marry Princess Yakami.
The trials of Ōnamuji are many and he dies twice at the hands of his jealous brothers. Each time, he is saved by his mother, Kushinada-hime. Pursued by his enemies, he ventures into Susanoo's realm where he meets the vengeful god's daughter, Suseri-hime. The crafty Susanoo tests Ōnamuji several times, but, in the end, Susanoo approves the young boy and foretells Ōnamuji's victory over his brothers.
Although the Yamato tradition attributes the creation of the Japanese islands to Izanagi and Izanami, the Izumo tradition claims that Ōnamuji, along with a dwarf god called Sukunabiko, contribute to, or at least finish, the creation of the Japanese islands.
[edit] Installation (19–20)Edit
Amaterasu ordered her grandson Ninigi to rule over the ground. She gave him the Three Sacred Treasures:
- the magatama necklace of Yasakani no magatama (now situated in the imperial palace);
- the bronze mirror of Yata no kagami (now in the Grand Shrine of Ise); and
- the sword Kusanagi (a possible replica of which is now in Atsuta Shrine, Nagoya).
The first two were made to lure Amaterasu out of Amano-Iwato. The last was found in the Orochi, an eight-headed hydra. Of these three, the mirror is the token of Amaterasu. The three together constitute the Imperial Regalia of Japan.
Ninigi and his company went down to the earth and came to Himuka, there he founded his palace.
[edit] Prosperity and eternityEdit
Ninigi met Konohanasakuya-hime (symbol of flowers), the daughter of Yamatsumi (master of mountains), and they fell in love. Ninigi asked Yamatsumi for his daughter's hand. The father was delighted and offered both of his daughters, Iwanaga (symbol of rocks) and Sakuya (symbol of flowers). However, Ninigi married only Sakuya and refused Iwanaga.
"Iwanaga is blessed with eternity and Sakuya with prosperity", Yamatsumi said in regret, "by refusing Iwanaga, your life will be brief from now on". Consequently, Ninigi and his descendants became mortal.
Sakuya conceived by a night and Ninigi doubted her. To prove legitimacy of her children, Sakuya swore by her luck and took a chance; she set fire to her room when she had given birth to her three babies. By this, Ninigi knew her chastity. The names of the children were Hoderi, Hosuseri and Howori.
[edit] Ebb and flowEdit

Hoderi lived by fishing in sea while his brother Howori lived by hunting in mountains. One day, Howori asked his brother to swap places for a day. Howori tried fishing, but he could not get a catch, and what was worse, he lost the fishhook he borrowed from his brother. Hoderi relentlessly accused his brother and did not accept his brother's apology.
While Howori was sitting on a beach, sorely perplexed, Shihotsuchi told him to ride on a ship called the Manashikatsuma and go wherever the current went. Following this advice, Howori reached the house of Watatsumi (master of seas). There he met Toyotama, Watatsumi's daughter, and married her. After three years of marriage, he remembered his brother and his fishhook, then told Watatsumi about it.
Watatsumi soon found the fishhook in the throat of a bream and handed it to Howori. Watatsumi also gave him two magical balls, Shihomitsutama, which could cause a flood, and Shihohirutama, which could cause an ebb, and sent him off, along with his bride, to land.
As Toyotama was giving birth, she asked Howori not to look at her delivery. However, Howori, filled with curiosity, peeped in, and saw her transforming into a shark at the moment his son, Ugaya, was born. Aware of this, Toyotama disappeared into sea and did not return, but she entrusted her sister Tamayori with her yearning for Howori.
Ugaya married his aunt Tamayori and had five children, including Itsuse and Yamatobiko.

[edit] Spelling of proper nounsEdit
Many deities appear in Japanese mythology, and many of them have multiple aliases. Furthermore, some of their names are comparatively long. This article therefore lists only the most prominent names, and gives them in one of their abbreviated forms, other abbreviated forms are also in use.
(For instance, Ninigi, or Ame-Nigishikuni-Nigishiamatsuhiko-Hikono-no-Ninigi-no-Mikoto in full, may also be abbreviated as Hikoho-no-Ninigi or Hono-Ninigi.)
In some parts of this article, proper names are written in a historical manner. In this article, underlined h, y, and w denote silent letters; they are omitted from modern spelling. Other syllables are modernized as follows (see also Japanese romanization systems). Note that some blend of these conventions is also often used.
- hu is modernized as fu.
- zi and di are modernized as ji. (distinction disappeared)
- oo is modernized as o or oh.
- For instance, various spellings of Ohonamuji include Oonamuji, Ohnamuji, and others.
Tengu are part-man-part-bird creatures that live in mountainous pine and cedar forests. They are believed to be descendants of Susano, the storm god. They live in colonies with a king tengu that is served by a messenger tengu. They usually have red feathers and wear black cloaks and/or caps. They are skilled swordsmen. Oni are giant devils that are pink, blue, red, or grey. They usually have horns, three eyes, three toes, and three fingers. Oni have the ability to fly, but tend not to in myths. They are unintelligent; they carry mallets or iron spiked rods, and sometimes wear a loincloth of tiger skin. Kappa are aquatic, vampire-like beasts that have monkey-like bodies, fish scales, a shell, and are yellow-green. They have indentations on the top of their heads that contain water. If this water is spilled, the kappa looses its power. Kappa are intelligent enough to make and keep promises. Hyosube are just a hair-covered variation of a kappa. Heroes Momotaro; peach child: Found inside a peach by a childless family. Grows to normal size by adulthood. Sets out to slay oni. Accompanied by a dog, pheasant, and monkey in exchange for rice cakes. Slays oni and returns stolen women. Issun Boshi; little one inch: Issun Boshi was born very small, but unlike Momotaro, he never grew. Traveled to Kyoto (old name for Tokyo)equipped with a needle for a sword. Enters the service of nobles. Went to Kwannon (of the thousand hands) shrine with noble's daughter, oni arrive. One eats Issun, Issun stabs oni's innards, oni drops its mallet and flees. Noble's daughter hits mallet on the ground, wishes Issun was normal size, Issun grows, they get married. Tametomo: Sunk an enemy ship with a single arrow. Animal Myths Tongue-cut sparrow: A washer woman cut off the tongue of a sparrow that was pecking at her rice starch. The sparrow had been fed regularly by the washer woman's neighbors, so when the sparrow didn't come, they went in the woods to search for it. They found it, and after a feast and some dancing (which the sparrow prepared), the neighbors were given the choice between two boxes; one large and one small. The neighbors picked the small box, and it was filled with riches. The washer woman saw these riches and heard where they came from, so she went to the sparrow. She too was entertained and given the choice between two boxes. The washer woman picked the largest box and instead of gaining riches, she was devoured by devils. Mandarin Ducks: A man kills a drake mandarin duck for food. That night he had a dream that a woman was accusing him of murdering her husband, and then told him to return to the lake. The man does this, and a female mandarin walks up to him and tears its chest open. Badger and Rabbit: A man catches a badger and tells his wife to cook it in a stew. The badger begs the wife not to cook him and promises to help with the cooking if he is spared. The wife agrees and unties him. The badger then transforms into her and kills her, then cooks her in a stew. Disguised as the man's wife, the badger feeds him his wife. Once he is done, the badger transforms back to his original form and teases the man for eating his wife. A rabbit that was friends with the family was furious, so he had the badger carry sticks and, while he wasn't looking, set these sticks on fire. Then the rabbit treated the burn with hot pepper paste. Finally the rabbit convinced the badger to build a boat of clay, and the rabbit followed in a sturdy boat. The clay boat began to sink, so the badger tried to escape, but then the rabbit hit him in the head with an oar, knocking him out and making him drown. Badger and Fox cub: A badger, vixen, and the vixen's cub lived in a forest that was running out of food, so they came up with the plan of one of them pretending to be dead, the other disguising as a merchant, and the "merchant" selling the "dead" animal to a human. Then they would have money to buy food. The vixen pretended to be dead while the badger was the merchant. While the transaction was happening however, the badger told the human that the vixen wasn't actually dead, so the human killed her. This infuriated the cub, so he proposed a competition. They would both disguise as humans and go into the village at different times. Whoever guessed what "human" was the other first, wins. The cub walked towards the village first, but he hid behind a tree. The badger went into the village, and accused the governor of being the fox, so the bodyguards of the governor beheaded him.

Lil Boosie Reveals Update On Health Two Months After Kidney Surgery
In November 2015, Lil Boosie revealed that he was battling kidney cancer. Asking for prayers and support from friends and fans, the Baton Rouge native proceeded to get surgery on the affected organ, leading doctors to remove half of his kidney during the process.
Now, the "All I Know" rapper is still on the road to recovery, and updated fans on his health journey. In an interview with XXL, Boosie said he's been in rehab for a month, but revealed he's never felt better health-wise.
"I got a trainer, trying to get my weight back. I had lost 42 pounds, so right now I'm just working to get all the way back healthy," he said. "Right now, I'm healthier than I ever been. I'm back doing shows. I have more wind now than I had doing shows before I had cancer. So I'm in a good point in my life. I'm cancer-free."
Late last year, Boosie also got wind of a few comments made about the validity of his surgery. He took to Instagram to shutdown those rumors, even posting an image of the scar.
"I'm tired of these stupid mothafu**as saying I ain't have cancer sending me DMs asking why am I lying saying I had cancer/ who wants to fake or lie about something like that not me, not a real one," he wrote.
I'm tired of these stupid mothafuckas saying I ain't have cancer sending me DMs asking why am I lying saying I had cancer/ who wants to fake or lie about something like that not me ,not a real one 💯💯wtf u mad cause I asked for prayers n gottem /I don't get it / well mf's this my cancer scar a week after my surgery (FACTS)
In January, Boosie returned to the music realm with his project, In My Feelings (Goin 'Thru It). On why he decided to release the project so soon after his recovery, Boosie told the site, "I was back, I was ready to talk this gangsta sh*t. It felt like I got stronger from this album."
