The Future of the Pill
I want the science behind hormonal contraceptives for men to move faster.
I want it here now: the implant of steroid hormone progestin and the shots of androgen.
I want the plaster Paul Bunyan that stands with his ax and blue ox by the 101 in Klamath to have YAZ in his breast pocket.
I want the Brawny Paper Towels man to do commercials for Ortho Tri Cyclen. I want him to say, May cause blood clots or stokes.
If I could have it my way, mothers would take their teenage sons to the family doctors with cold hands.
Those cold hands would yank the boys' cocks and twist their scrotums around with salad tongs.
Cold hands poke the pectorals, sticking a finger in the anus while pressing on the stomach.
The mothers would pat the arms of their sons, feel a sense of justice, buy milkshakes when it was done.
The boys would drink the cold milkshakes, sore and cold all over, and read the pamphlets' tiny words.
They would be confused about when to start the packs and they would be too embarrassed to ask their mothers.
They would ask each other in the locker room if the white pills were the sugar pills. Or are they iron pills? Boys would wake up late for school and forget to take them. Boys would tell their girlfriends that they couldn't have sex that day because of missed pills.
And the girlfriends would say whatever. The boys who forgot their pills would find their girlfriends fucking the boys who'd remembered theirs.
The boys would turn eighteen and question manhood. The boys would wonder if they had become men
when they took their first pill or was it the first time they had sex or would it be some other time in the future.
The men would go to college and gain fifteen pounds because their metabolisms weren't the same.
The men would get nauseous when they started a new pack or when their insurance switched it to the generic brand.
The men would sometimes take a Plan B and feel bloated and ugly. Their faces would break out.
The men would be grateful that their wives would wear a condom so they could quit the pill.
The men would have to go back on the pill when the wives couldn't have orgasms with all that rubber between them.
The men would not be ready for babies yet. They would feel stressed about their unfinished degrees and manuscripts.
The women would buy the men flowers when they were feeling moody, depressed, or trapped. The men would be grateful when the hormonal birth control came out for women and they could have their bodies back.
The men, although grateful, would feel resentment for science's slow pace and that they'd been on the pill for decades.
But this is not the way it will go when the male contraceptive comes out. Men will hear the word Androgen
and soon Fox news will be saying, what is this world coming to? Men on the pill? Next they'll be wearing skirts to work! Androgynous! And how could we live with our men not fertile? How can America be the Lumber Jack
that it is if his spermatozoa is sipping tea and reading books, uninterested in reproducing?
Can't we just be okay with that? Can't the Lumber Jack sometimes wear a skirt
because it's comfortable? Can't he carry the baby too because it's soft, and not just the sharpened ax?
(an introduction)
This word looks so odd,
and maybe I'd say it less if I could see it slouching from my lips, the way
it stretches out like grey Silly Putty
and hangs in the middle, the o's two vacant cartoon eyes as sincere
as tire swings, sincere
as the idioms I hear but cannot see, As good as it can be and I'm good for it and
It's so Good to be here.
I have friends who say, "So Good" about everything, and they draw out the So
to Sooooooo Good, all the o's like a million
young coconuts weighing down a palm, pulling and stretching it towards
the ground until finally
a few of the dumb ones roll off into the ocean and the palm can slap back up.
How's the coffee this morning?
Sooooooo Good. If they really like something, then the vowel train gets longer
and by the end of it
I don't want or require the details, I just want off the train.
It seemed like a good time to sneak
her boyfriend, Frazier, into her bedroom since her good cop father was not
yet home, not expected home for a good
half hour, which seemed plenty of time for a few good gropes and long kisses
that made her feel so good she couldn't
feel guilty, surely their zealous fecundity was making a tree grow in a parking lot
or giving wings to some good cause,
surely she was still good, even though her father would say she was not the good coin
he thought she was,
that she was counterfeit, a phony, that her good background and good name
were no good anymore,
that she would need a good amount of yard work as punishment for straying
from the good path. When the cop car
pulled up and they were both nearly naked, their good figures blushing
and tender like good cuts of beef,
she gave Frazier
a good shove out the backdoor, pointed to the desert surrounding the fenced yard, and
when he stalled, saying, It's good
to stand up to your father at age sixteen, she forgot good manners and shoved
him again, threw his flannel shirt after him,
and whispered go, go, go with all the violence she could conjure, because
she knew that standing up to her father
was in fact, the farthest from good that bad could be.

The kingdom called Epoli (Ep-Oh-LEE) was an ancient empire ruled by a wise, powerful, and mysterious Empress long before the rise of the Dungeon Era. Epoli today is little more than a tall tale, rather than a place. Any real history is remembered only by a few, and for the most part has been entirely swept from history and hidden beneath a dusty rug of myth and legend.
Epoli, in its time, was the jewel of the world, a mighty and peaceful realm wherein all of the Middle-Kingdoms found abundant culture, commerce, and political stability beneath the rule of the fabled empress who guided a people into an age of enlightenment.
At the forefront of Epoli culture was storytelling. And though the vast majority of their stories have been lost, a very special few carry with them the heroic tales of that long lost civilization to inspire the folk of Eem and sweep away the cold, gray ashes of a humdrum Dungeon Era.

Episode 12 | Boldly Going
Welcome to episode 12! This week's theme is Boldly Going. We are seeking out new (fake) life and (potential) new civilizations.
00:00:00 Intro and what-are-you-drinking? Justin has decided to pursue a career doing actual science and thus leaves us stranded for this episode. So, we call upon Charlie again to bail us out.
00:03:57 Ecoterraforming Plot - How do we turn Mars into Earth? Well, driving some Hummers around the Red Planet would be a start. Charlie has a few other ideas but they all sound really hard. Maybe we'll just hurl some nukes at Venus and see what happens. Ryan contemplates the future leggy Martian race, once the planet is livable.
00:21:25 The Morae River - Category: Best Faux Naturalist Art; and the Award goes to… Brynn Metheney. Brynn tells us how she thought up the Morae River and her plans for life after kicking her Velociraptor habit. We learn about her artistic process and then put in a request some future faux naturalist art. Outside of her blog, Brynn has a book on Blurb. Buy it, it's only available for a limited time.
00:34:29 Trailer Trash Talk - The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Can Disney live up to past high expectations for swashbuckling? Can Jake Gyllenhaal play a convincing Persian? Why do bad guys always want to destroy the world, isn't that a little short sighted? Has there ever been a good movie made from a video game? We look for answers to these pressing questions and more.
00:44:43 Updates and Listener Feedback: LCROSS update, there is water on the moon, no word yet on green cheese. Why can't NASA go from being sort of awesome to just awesome? Also, we tackle comments from lunatics. The Paleopals wax poetic on science and almost get emotional.

The heritage hotel, located just over 100 metre from Currency Building in BBD Bag, has undergone extensive redevelopment with a new block being constructed between two heritage blocks, one of the Victorian era and the other of the Edwardian era. ASI, which appeared to have been in slumber while KMC sanctioned the plans and construction went ahead, has now woken up and slapped a notice on the hotel for violating the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act. The ASI wants the contemporary block razed.
According to superintending archaeologist AK Patel, the hotel that is located in the regulated area did not seek approval from the National Monument Authority (NMA) while going ahead with its plans. "Taking permission is not optional but mandatory. Details of the proposed structure have to be submitted to NMA through the regional office of ASI. Since this was blatantly ignored, we have labelled the construction illegal and filed an FIR on June 15, 2015, with the Hare Street police station," said Patel.
ASI regional director PK Mishra, who is competent authority for NMA (Bengal), said there could be no exception to the Act. "We will go to any extent possible to curb blatant violations of the Act, including seeking legal redress. We have already moved court against developer Shishmahal Construction Pvt Ltd for constructing a building at 8 Strand Road, which is 117 metre away from Metcalfe Hall, also a national monument," said Mishra.
Incidentally, the Lalit Great Eastern too is located at a similar distance from Currency Building. Sources at the hotel said the management had replied to an ASI show-cause notice. But when approached by TOI, Lalit Great Eastern spokesperson refused to divulge the contents of its reply or comment on the matter. General manager Rakesh Mitra was unavailable for comment.
The hotel has also been hauled up by KMC for delay in restoring the Victorian era heritage block 1. While the hotel opened two years ago with the new contemporary block and the restored Edwardian heritage block 2, the restoration of the Victorian block has surpassed the deadline of last quarter of 2014.
While Lalit Great Eastern is the most high-profile property that is in the dock, others that have been similarly hauled up by ASI include Amber Restaurant's development on Waterloo Street and West Bengal Financial Infrastructure Development Corporation at 10 Old Court House Street. FIRs have been lodged against Deepak Khullar of Amber and the MD of WBFIDC for carrying out construction without NMA sanction.

The Importance of Disconnecting to Reconnect
Written with a very special thanks to Netherthong Primary's Year Six students and their teacher Martin Clayton
The average person spends 10 hours online each day and sleeps less than seven hours each night. Worldwide, two-billion people own smartphones. Over a third of households subscribe to video-streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, or HBO Go.
Just as drive-throughs satisfy our busy, automobile-driving lives, personal devices satisfy our busy, information-hungry desires.
In this modern era, we no longer need to wait to find the answers we crave or the social connections we desire. We no longer need to venture to the library to seek information or to Blockbuster Video for entertainment. We no longer have to wait days or weeks or months for our favorite shows and movies to air on TV. We can have it all right now without needing to leave our homes. Our devices are convenient outlets for explorations of all kinds. Boundless exploration is at our fingertips.
We have the option to be connected in at any time. But, is it really necessary?
I have observed media habits for seven years as an educator. My students use iPads to access textbooks, notetaking applications, and external resources. iPads are an unfortunate requirement of the modern education system, since they capable of receiving notifications at any time from Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and various sports applications. Students seem to be dstracted at all times of day, not just during class. I see kids in the hallways, so mesmerized by their glowing screens that they ignore their friends and fail to look where they are walking. One particular student of mine regularly boasts about his uncanny ability to function normally at school despite his proclivity to binge-watch Netflix shows all night long!
What is lost when we are plugged in?
Spending more than 70 hours a week online doesn't leave much time for anything else. It doesn't leave any time to develop and pursue hobbies, spend time with loved ones, travel, or complete necessary household tasks. We barely have any time left to learn, to create, and to live our lives. We are neglecting our personal relationships, our chores, and even our safety by choosing to spend more time in a digital world. There is an increased risk of illness and obesity associated with the sedentary nature of technology use. When we spend too much time online, whether it is due to using the internet, email, social media, or texting, we can become sleep deprived and disconnected with reality, leading to numerous psychological ramifications. In addition, if our wireless connection is suddenly disrupted, we end up feeling anxious, helpless, lost, and alone.
To combat the rising dependence on technology, more and more people are gravitating towards something called a "digital detox."
What is a digital detox?
A digital detox is a period of time when a technology user abstains from devices like smartphones, computers, wearables, or tablets in order to reconnect and ground themselves more fully to the physical world.
What's the point of a digital detox?
Digital detoxes are geared towards breaking technology habits and rekindling relationships with the real world. This can be done through disconnection with the virtual world, since studies have shown that disconnecting from devices can reduce stress and increase productivity. Once disconnected, we can experience a more focused connection with ourselves and others. Digital detox practices are meant to increase our feelings of self-other awareness, to revive feelings of empathy for our fellow humans, and to restore balance to our lives.
Who is doing a Digital Detox?
Organizations such as Camp Grounded and Digital Detox make it easy for companies to organize tech-free retreats to give employees breaks from screen time. Virgin Airlines integrates digital detoxifying techniques into their workdays by having employees turn off their devices between 10 a.m. and noon on Wednesdays. During this time of disconnection, employees engage in group brainstorming sessions while taking walks in nature. Virgin hopes these "Disconnection Wednesdays" will help foster feelings of work-life balance.
Digital Detox and Education
Even educational institutions like high schools and grade schools are including digital detoxes into their curriculum. The rationale for digital detoxes in schools is to help students use technology more responsibly since it is an inevitable part of the future. And, kids are the future!
I've often wondered what a tech-free week would do for the youth. What would it be like to force kids to leave technology alone for a week? Would students' technology habits change once they completed the detox?
I had the recent privilege of connecting with the Netherthong Primary School in Holmfirth, England, where Year Six (apprx. 5th grade) students have just completed a week-long digital detox. These kids have never known a world without constant connection. After reaching out and chatting with Martin Clayton, a teacher of Netherthong Primary who recently led his students through a digital detox, I was able to gather some data about their experience.
Netherthong Primary School and the Digital Detox
"It's good to take a break from digital things." - Jake, student at Netherthong Primary (scroll down to view quotes from other students!)
Prior to the week-long digital detox, most of the children had heard about the practice, and they were confident they could abstain from technology, even though they claimed it was necessary to use certain tech items daily, such as computers, laptops, smartboards, video game systems, iPads, iPods, mobile phones, smart phones, and televisions. Most reported using some form of technology for at least two hours a day, and some students reported that they needed to use technology for up to 35 hours a week!
According to 10-year-olds...
How can personal technology be beneficial?
Most claimed that technology is fun, since it offers an interactive route of communication through social media, text, and email. One student reported that it is easier to call someone rather than talk in person. Others understand that the digital world is a good route to quick information, and one responded very astutely that going online is a practical aspect of working a job. They all reported that smartphones can help in an emergency.
How can personal technology be harmful?
I was surprised at how much they knew about this subject. In terms of the harmful effects of technology, these kids knew that technology can be easily abused. One student reported that personal devices gives users "too much freedom from responsibility;" others said that technology "makes it easy to send hurtful emails and texts," and that technological freedom often empowers cyberbullies. They were wary of "internet trolls" and the ease by which people can stalk others online. One student claimed that if used too much, technology can be addictive; in addition, staring at devices all day not only takes time away from the family, it can also damage the eyesight and the brain.
After completing the tech-free week, how did these kids feel about the digital detox?
In reflecting on the detox, the majority really liked it. One insisted that it was a "great experience!" Most felt that, while disconnecting was difficult, the digital detox was interesting and worthwhile. One "found it interesting to talk to people in real life." In general, the break from technology forced them to be more social - it helped them to do things they normally wouldn't do, like "go exploring," "spend more time with family and friends," "read more books," and "play board games." A few kids even admitted they were more respectful to their parents while abstaining from technology.
Of course, most thought the detox was very difficult, but they understood that the trial was worth it. One student wrote that the digital detox "was hard but [she] enjoyed it and it made [her] less grumpy." Many felt that it was hard to avoid the TV. One reported being really bored: there was "nothing to do all week!" Another "didn't like that [he] couldn't FaceTime [his] friends." In general, while most parents joined their children in the detox, it was difficult for the students whose families didn't support the detox. Only a few of the students would have liked to continue the cleanse for more than a week, but most found that a week was just right to understand the importance of disconnecting.
When I sent them the survey, they were off the cleanse for around three weeks, so I thought perhaps they had gone back to their original habits. However, to my surprise, they still felt the benefits of the digital detox.
How was the digital detox beneficial?
After the detox, students reported increased concentration levels and test scores. They felt more organized, and continued to spend more time with families instead of succumb to the draw of their devices. One reported feeling "more peaceful and more awake at school." They continued to go outside more, and talk to people instead relying mainly on text. Most reported getting better quality sleep since they weren't looking at their phones before bedtime. They all said they felt differently about using technology after the cleanse, and are determined to use technology more mindfully.
Even though my study of the effects of disconnecting was long-distance and not a scientific study completed by a reputable research organization, I think that the results can still be highly relevant and applicable to our lives. Believe it or not, the world will never be as analog as it is now, as technological advances are exponentially growing. The children at Netherthong Primary will agree, it's important to use technology meaningfully and intentionally, and not in ways that hurt ourselves or others.

Practicing My Stitches - ABC Crewelwork Sampler
I wanted to wait until I finished a few letters before I shared this project on the blog. After your recommendations, I decided to try the Daisychain ABC's Crewelwork Pattern by Alicia Paulson and practice my new love for embroidery. I was a little nervous about tackling such an intimidating embroidery project as a beginner to the craft. I am so glad I started it! I've never worked with crewel wool before this project either but I really like the texture. This sampler has been such a fun project to work on over the past few weeks. Each letter is unique and challenging in different ways which makes working on it even more interesting! I think the "C" is definitely my favorite so far. This project is also a wonderful reminder of how much I love making time to craft and create for myself. I love making things for others, but there is always an added pressure to make it perfect when it is a gift. I love being able to just relax, create something because I love the process and not worry about the end result.
I have 15 letters to go! My goal is to finish it before the end of August. I think I can make it!
I have to say it. This project is pretty "crewel". Haha. Pun. ;)
NYC is wonderful! I still have a little time left in the city before I return home. Time to go out and enjoy it!

Local Bites / Jeff Schlesinger
The culinary landscape of New Canaan expands into the Iberian Peninsula with the opening of Picador, the second restaurant owned by Alan Basaran.
Located in the space formerly occupied by Harvest Supper, the interior's decor offers a warm and inviting environment to serve the region's vibrant cuisine. A single leather-covered banquette fills the entire back and one of the walls, and several copper-topped tables occupy the remainder of the space. All of the seating is covered in dark leathers and the walls are adorned with plates, mirrors and sconces, depicting the restaurant's Spanish influence.
Overseeing the front of the house is Basaran's cousin, Ender Erhan, and the kitchen is under the direction of chef Regis Saget. Born and raised in France, Saget brings his passion for fresh ingredients and simple preparations to the menu. A graduate of culinary school in Morlaas, France, Saget worked in many notable Fairfield County restaurants, including Versailles Restaurant, La Colline Verte and St. Tropez in Fairfield and was the opening chef at New Canaan's Savvy Restaurant.
Picador's menu includes a wide selection of tapas, plus ensaladas, entradas and postres.
The flavors of seared gambas flambees al ajillo, piquillos, Jamon Serrano are the most vibrant of the tapas. The traditional garlic shrimp are accentuated with piquillo peppers, adding a spicy-sweet flavor, and diced Jamon Serrano adds a salty component. The dish is finished with a pinch of red pepper flakes, giving the sauce a mild level of heat. This is a great dish.
The beef tips a la plancha with walnuts, green peppercorns, and Calabrese cheese is a choice for the carnivore at the table. I enjoyed the textural contrasts of the crunchy walnuts against the smoothness of the cheese, the latter leaving a peppery aftertaste. After the terrific flavors of the gambas, the beef tips are a milder dish and could easily handle more boldness. The scallops over cauliflower puree were very good. The scallops were seared to a crispy exterior, while maintaining their soft interior texture and finished with just a touch of salt. The dish includes roasted cauliflower for earthiness, and the puree adds a mild and creamy finish to this combination.
More InformationFact box
These three tapas represent the range of flavors on the menu, from bright and bold in the shrimp, to the milder scallops and cauliflower.
The roasted beets with grapefruit, goat cheese, arugula, fava beans and tossed in orange blossom vinaigrette was my favorite of the ensalada. The large pieces of beets are sweet and maintained their earthiness and are complemented by the creaminess of the cheese. The citrusy acid of grapefruit elevated all of the flavors and the fava beans brought a slight crunchiness to the dish. Each of the ingredients in the avocado with orange segments, olives, cherry tomatoes and Marcona almonds offered great flavors, but I found the ingredients were almost fighting with each other. This dish would make for a delicious lunch in warmer weather on the outdoor patio with a crisp glass of wine.
Although billed as a tapas restaurant, Picador's menu truly shines in its entrees.
The braised beef short ribs with chestnuts, mongetes blancas and figs are outstanding. The dish includes several slices of slowly braised beef accompanied by the reduced braising liquid. The meat is incredibly soft, yet maintains its structural integrity and the sauce concentrates the flavors into a robust accompaniment. The addition of the chestnuts and figs adds both earthy and sweet nuances.
The roast pork chop over rhubarb compote and orange, with deglazed cooking juice is the perfect fall dish. The chop is prepared, with a slight exterior char, moist and tender. The sauce is a delight, accented with nutmeg, cinnamon and coriander. The accompaniment of the rhubarb, peas and mushrooms present a fantastic flavor complement and the potatoes are soft and crisp on the exterior.
The roasted half Cornish hen, Catalan-style, with eggplant, peppers, zucchini and roasted potatoes arrives on the bone, surrounded by a spicy tomato broth with pieces of eggplant, peppers, zucchini and roasted fingerling potatoes. Served in a bowl, it was difficult removing the meat from the bone, but once combined with the flavors of the sauce, is well worth the effort. The sauce is fantastic and I admit dipping pieces of the bread for every last drop.
The seafood paella with mussels, scallops, clams, calamari, shrimp and thin slices of chorizo has great flavor. The dish is beautifully presented in a single-serving traditional paella pan with a large portion of saffron-infused rice that has a good level of spiciness. The seafood is moist and succulent and absorbs the bold cooking juices. The dish has an abundance of rice (less might be better), and I prefer a crustier bottom to concentrate the flavor and give different textures.
There are several excellent desserts. My favorite was the Arroz con leche, a vanilla-y rice pudding topped with a delicious apricot lemon sauce. The apricot-lemon curd is delicious, creamy and abundant with citrus flavor to complement the texturally different rice. The crème Catalane brulee is an enjoyable dish slightly different from its French cousin with the addition of a touch of orange blossom water in Picador's version. The pan perdido with caramelized peaches and apples is full of flavor. The sauteed fruits sit atop slices of moist and sauteed slices of bread and completed with a delicious caramel sauce. All of the desserts are pleasing ends to the meal.
Overall, I enjoyed many of the dishes at the newly opened Picador. There are several tapas and ensaladas that are excellent as a preamble to some great flavors in many of the entrees.

New setup and a sneak peek
I wrapped up 2016 with the final piece I needed to complete my kit, the Sigma 24-70mm 2.8. I'm loving this new glass! I used to shoot with a zoom lens as my primary, but switched to working with fixed focal lengths as I explored wider apertures and the dreamy feeling of bokeh created with my Nikon 85 1.4. After having my gear stolen last year, my wide-portrait zoom was the one I hadn't yet replaced. I don't know I did without it for so long! The versatility offered really allows for a faster shoot and more variety.
As the year started I bought myself a very special gift...a studio background setup! I haven't done studio work since 2007, and am really excited to see how my studio work develops.
Here's a sneak peek from my first shoot with the new gear: Jason Simms for Ratchet+Wrench magazine.

Would you believe I was the one who came up with the challenge even though I didn't even know if I had a story to tell? The read-a-long's mini-challenge is simply to share any camp story or summer story. I had no idea what I would write about until I read Author Joanne Rock's Guest Post and it sparked a distant memory. I totally recommend that people read that. It's very short and wonderful.
I tell this story out of pure nostalgia. Maybe it was infatuation or maybe it was my first love. But the past is the past.

Visualizing Plasticity
LifeScience News: MIT Researchers Watch Brain In Action
Thanks to a new imaging system, researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory have gotten an unprecedented look into how genes shape the brain in response to the environment. Their work is reported in the July 28 issue of Cell.
"This work represents a technological breakthrough," said first author Kuan Hong Wang, a research scientist at the Picower Institute who will launch his own laboratory at the National Institute of Mental Health in the fall. "This is the first study that demonstrates the ability to directly visualize the molecular activity of individual neurons in the brain of live animals at a single-cell resolution, and to observe the changes in the activity in the same neurons in response to the changes of the environment on a daily basis for a week."
Um... Daaaaaaaaamn. Color me impressed.
I'm really not following the description of how they did it, other than that it involves taking transgenic mice with GFP to tagged to Arc (a protein involved in plasticity) and installing "transparent cranial windows" in them. Now, I would certainly be inclined to argue that more brains should be covered by plastic windshields. Unfortunately, Cell's webpage is failing to load at the moment, so I'll have to patiently wait until later to figure this out.

EXTRAORDINARY RETRIBUTION: A rogue CIA agent partners with the brother of a slain colleague to uncover a conspiracy deep in the intelligence community. But a shadow follows them: a killer bent on a revenge so terrible, it is only matched by the crimes committed against him. In the end, no one escapes unscathed, no beliefs will go unchallenged, and no wrong will escape the terrible, final, and extraordinary retribution. Kindle, audiobook, paperback, and hardcover editions. Book two in the INTEL 1 novels.

EXTRAORDINARY RETRIBUTION is the second novel in the INTEL 1 series of counter-terrorism/espionage global thrillers.
The story came to me from troubling thoughts about the compromise between liberty and security free societies must make. What is labeled by some as "collateral damage" that is unavoidable in a war (even one on terror), is to the unjustly tormented a far more personal reality. The ghosts of souls broken by wars throughout the ages would certainly haunt our societies if they existed. EXTRAORDINARY RETRIBUTION was written because I heard their voices and could not get them out of my mind. As with book 1 of the series, THE RAGNARÖK CONSPIRACY, the genesis of the novel was as much from an effort to exorcise these voices as tell an involving story.
In the process, two new characters came to life that have become a part of me and the continuing series. One is a rogue CIA agent, something not unusual for the genre. The other is a Catholic priest, which is decidedly not a common element in a high-octane thriller. Both go through a transformation by fire that forever changes their lives.

Tracing the Circulation of Communicative Objects
Project description
As we travel the web, we all leave traces. When we reference other people's work, we make statements about value and importance. The web thrives on connections of individuals and many use only a few platforms like Twitter or Facebook to share, connect and keep in touch. This project aims to understand this new environment of communication in regard to journalism. Through the key concept of the circulation of communicative objects we want to retrace the connections that audiences make to journalistic content and media, highlighting the processes, time frames and issues that make certain objects adaptable to different contexts.
Our project will use an iterative procedure of applying digital methods and evaluating the results of different tools in relation to particular case studies. Instead of analyzing discourses or narratives, the term 'communicative objects' emphasizes two dimensions of digital communication: the technological formatting of digital objects (e.g. as link, tag, interface) in relation to their status as 'epistemic objects' (Knorr-Cetina), as objects of cultural contestation, negotiation and power relations. Circulation of communicative objects then emphasizes that the objects we interact with online are always temporarily and materially defined forms that sustain the creations and reproduction of social relations. Because certain objects are circulated, they remain significant for a group's or a culture's identity. As objects fade out of circulation, they become a possible repository of adversarial, disruptive and antagonistic meanings.
Our project is especially interested in these questions:
- How do different cultures of circulation (journalists, experts, amateurs) circulate objects and what are the implications for the constitution of different kinds of publics?
- What kinds of digital objects can be traced by automated procedures and what does that tell us about the constitution of communicative objects?
- Where are digital methods useful for understanding communicative objects and what are their limitations?

Preparing for Campus.. by visiting Israel
Jake is part of a delegation of British pre-campus students who intend to be active in leading pro-Israel activity when they get to university. In Israel with StandWithUs UK, they are engaging in an intensive week-long summit prior to beginning their studies when they return home.
This is a daily diary of their experiences in Israel:
Day One
Our group traveled to the StandWithUs UK Israel Summit 2013 with high hopes, all looking to further our knowledge of Israel and become more confident in advocating for it on campus. It's all very well reading history books, but I feel that a real deep understanding only comes from experiencing first hand the issues and seeing it for yourself.
Day 1 in Tel Aviv began with a briefing about the basic history of Israel from Calev Ben Dor, an analyst at the Israeli Foreign Ministry. From ancient history to modern, we reviewed the facts about the establishment of the Jewish state – it was an ideal start to the trip and gave us a solid foundation to delve further into the intricacies of some very complicated issues.
Then came the highlight of the day for me personally: a trip to Save A Child's Heart at Wolfson Hospital, where we met a mother from Gaza City and her baby who had just had life-saving heart surgery in Israel.
Our group meets a mother from Gaza whose daughter is being cared for in Israel by Save a Child's Heart
Her words were very powerful and had a profound effect on me. "Here we are not treated on the basis of race, religion or colour, only on the basis of humanity." That encapsulated the nature of the charity – bringing children from all over the world, regardless of nationality, and giving them a chance for a life they would otherwise not have had.
Meeting a medical clown there to cheer up the patients and the first Ethiopian surgeon trained in Israel, who is looking after the children
An interactive tour of the Yitzchak Rabin Museum followed which was both informative and moving, plus a showing of The Case for Israel film with Alan Dershowitz. The film showcased some of the challenges that advocating for Israel will entail and I will feel more prepared for them after seeing it.
After some relaxing time the day ended with a meal at Tarabin restaurant and some very dodgy (yet entertaining) karaoke. A fun way to end a jam-packed day.
At dinner we all discussed our expectations from the trip – to see more, learn more, so we can teach more to others about Israel back home in Britain.
Myself and my fellow group members will be blogging our experiences on the Times of Israel each day.

Chartres Cathedral
The cathedral of Chartres, dating from 1132, is considered one of the masterpieces of Gothic architecture. Located a short distance from Illiers, Proust knew it from his youth. And later when doing research for his translations of works by John Ruskin, Proust revisited Chartres. In his novel, Proust gives brief descriptions of the facade and windows at Chartres. This cathedral, like the more modest church of Saint-Jacques in Illiers, lay on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The scallop shells (coquilles Saint-Jacques) worn by the pilgrims are found in the church as one of the decorative motifs. The shells have the same shape as the little cakes known as madeleines that feature in one of the most famous episodes in the novel.

We all attend networking events, meetups and social functions but how do we connect and build a relationship or business connection. Do we follow up with a phone call and set up a future meeting? Do we go online later and connect through social media channels. The simple question how do we engage and move the conversation along.
I am obviously passionate about leveraging video and social media to connect. What is the next best thing to being there it's VIDEO.
In Lehman's Terms let's put the social back in networking and reconnect via social channels.

Your scalp feels dry and itchy. Every day, you grab a hat to keep yourself warm on the commute to work (or even all day if your workplace is on the cold side). And, in the back of your mind, you remember someone once told you that you'll lose more hair in winter. Are you?… Read more »


text: And the New York Times has a good analysis of here work so far. I really enjoyed the analysis. As for me, I found it interesting that she has transitioned the account from a basic one that recorded events the way most of us do into something that extends her art in a way few of us can do. I also like that great artists like Sherman can take new media and incorporate it into their work but also extend it. David Hockney did something similar with the Brushes app. Here's hoping more artists do such things.

By Daniel DePetris
It has almost become a routine over the last several years: Americans, Japanese, and South Koreans receive alerts that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ordered yet another ballistic missile test during the night. The missile, typically of the medium- or intermediate-range variety, flies for a couple hundred miles and falls into the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. The North Korean state news agency blasts a breaking-news bulletin for the entire country to see, declaring that the test was a glorious success for the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. A few hours later, the South Korean President calls an emergency National Security Council meeting to discuss the launch. The State Department issues a statement condemning the North Korean test as an unacceptable breach of U.N. Security Council resolutions; and Washington, Seoul, and Tokyo request an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting to determine what can be done to punish Pyongyang for violating the international body's dictates. Several weeks go by, and the cycle repeats itself.
Indeed, experts who study North Korea's missile capability remind us on a near-weekly basis that it is only a matter of time before Pyongyang is able to produce and field an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that has the power to reach cities on the U.S. West Coast.The question underlining all of these developments: What options does the United States have to deal with it?
Increasingly, the options for Washington are few and far between. As U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nicki Haley warned the Security Council this week, the United States "is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies," including the use of military force required to protect the homeland. The next day, President Trump backed up his ambassador, stating serious consideration of options that would cause a lot of pain to North Korea, some of which he called "pretty severe." One only needs to read between the lines to figure out what Trump is probably referring to.
Regrettably, reality is quickly setting in for U.S. officials—if it hasn't already. In the words of Defense Secretary James Mattis, "[a] conflict in North Korea...would be probably the worst kind of fighting in most people's lifetimes."
Mattis is not embellishing. With roughly 15 million people only 35 miles away in Seoul (roughtly the distance from the U.S. Capitol to Dulles International Airport), Pyongyang's retaliation to a U.S. airstrike could include the lobbing of thousands of shells into the city and its suburbs. The death toll would be so high that it would make the Korean War look like a minor conflict—in addition to approximately 28,500, there are tens of thousands of U.S. citizens within Jong-un's reach. The mere possibility that Kim Jong-un could order even a limited artillery attack on the South Korean capital should force the most hawkish president to go back to the drawing board and rethink his options before giving the order to the bomber pilots.
The military option should always be a last resort, doubly so in the North Korean case.
Passing additional economic sanctions on North Korea's economy in order to decrease Kim's revenue stream has been the go-to policy for U.S. presidents past and present. But to exploit the sanctions route to its full impact, some degree of Chinese cooperation is required. Unfortunately, Beijing has its own national interests in the region and has been unwilling to exert the kind of power that would collapse the North Korean economy. Even if Beijing were willing to do America's bidding, the North Koreans have proven to be highly skilled in finding new sources of revenue, a skill that Pyongyang has learned out of necessity due to a lackluster economy to begin with.
The White House, for all intents and purposes, has only two viable options: try to resurrect some sort of diplomatic process with Pyongyang to at least suspend North Korea's nuclear and missile work, or shift towards deterrence and learn to live with a nuclear-armed North Korea.
The latter scenario is seen by bipartisan majorities in Congress as de-facto acceptance of North Korea as a member of the nuclear club—despite all of the North's bad behavior over the previous two decades. But even falling back on deterrence would be a better alternative than launching a preemptive or preventive war on the Korean Peninsula, the worst on the list of bad options that would drag the United States into a regional conflict, taking thousands of American soldiers and perhaps hundreds of thousands of Koreans with it.
Negotiating, as stomach-churning as it is and as difficult as it would be, is therefore the only policy tool available to the U.S. if it wants to tone down the rhetoric between Washington and Pyongyang and arrive at a mutual understanding about what is and is not on the table. There is always the lingering concern that opening up negotiations with the North Koreans will not resolve the problem—indeed, the Kim dynasty has broken several previous agreements in the past, which is one of the many reasons why D.C.-based hawks are convinced that diplomacy is a waste of time.
None of this, however, obviates the fact that talking to the North Koreans and exploring an arrangement that suspends Pyongyang's progress in the interim is far better—and less overtly confrontational—than the limited choices currently in the U.S. toolbox. There is a negative stigma attached to negotiating with adversaries. But sitting down with people you disagree with is a sign of strength, as President Richard Nixon discovered during his trip to China in 1972 and as President Ronald Reagan demonstrated during his arms control negotiations with the Soviets in the 1980s. Far from signaling weakness, negotiating with a sworn enemy or rival is a bold and courageous move befitting of a world power like the United States. And it also happens to be the most effective way to advance America's interests, possibly resulting in game-changing accords.
The U.S. has an opportunity to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue peacefully. Either it gets resolved, or the United States will have to get used to a Kim regime with a nuclear weapons arsenal. President Trump cannot let this opportunity pass him by.

Penan mount two anti-logging blockades
from Malaysiakini
Jul 31, 09 3:23pm
Dozens of indigenous Penan tribespeople armed with spears and blowpipes have set up roadblocks in Sarawak to stop logging firms from encroaching on their territory, activists said today. The Penan people, some of whom are nomadic hunter-gatherers, have been resisting deforestation of their ancestral land since the 1980s when Swiss environmentalist Bruno Manser championed their cause.
Indigenous rights group Survival International said a group of Penan were making a new stand by mounting roadblocks across tracks cut by Malaysian timber firms that intrude deep into the forest.
The group said once the valuable trees have been felled the companies clear the land completely for oil palm plantations, leading to water pollution and loss of wildlife.
"The logging and oil palm companies are robbing the Penan not just of their forests but of their food and water," Survival International's director Stephen Corry said in a statement.
"It is essential that the Malaysian government recognises the Penan's rights to their land and stops allowing the companies to take everything in sight."
Blockade a last resort
Jok Jau Evong, field officer for Friends of the Earth in Sarawak, said two blockades had been erected in recent months, including one in the remote Long Daloh region that is still being manned by some 120
"They are armed with blowpipes, their traditional hunting weapon. They do not want logging to be carried out in their forest reserve," he told AFP.
"The Penans put up the blockade as a last resort after talks with the logging company failed," he said, adding that the firms had suspended their activities but that there were doubts that agreement would hold.
"If the Penans lose their forest reserve, there is no way they can survive," said the campaigner, who recently returned from the region.
"When I visited the two Penan areas, I felt very sad. There is a lack of food, especially for the children. Their lives are getting worse due to the increased logging activities," Jok said.
The Penan people are among Malaysia's poorest and number just 12,000 out of the two million people in Sarawak.
Jok said only around 400 Penan were still living a fully nomadic lifestyle, while many others have settled in villages and towns.
The plight of the Penan was made famous in the 1990s by Manser, who waged a crusade to protect their way of life and fend off the loggers, before vanishing in mysterious circumstances in 2000.
Penan face food shortages
Meanwhile, Bernama reported that 3,000 Penan from six settlements are facing afood shortage. According to Deputy Rural and Regional Development Minister Joseph Entulu Belaun, Lusong Laku, Long Avit, Long Kajang, LongTanyit, Long Malim and Long Ladem – all in remote Sarawak's northeast – have been facing the shortage of food in the last three months.
"Their farms had been destroyed by wild animals and they are now depending entirely on food that they foraged from the jungle, but the supply is insufficient," he told journalists in Kuching.
Lusong Laku, which is the nearest of the six settlements, could be reached from Bintulu through rugged timber track after a journey of at least nine hours, said Entulu.
It would take six hours by road to Lusong Laku from Sungai Asap Resettlement Scheme, which is located about 30km from the site of the Bakun dam.

Dear CFK family, It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I must inform you that two of our longest serving coaches (Tat and Kerri) will both be stepping back from their coaching role at CrossFit Kingstowne at the close of this month. It has taken me some time and countless drafts over the last few weeks to try and come up with the right words to truly express my sentiments for these two amazing individuals and what they have meant to me over the years. I apologize for the delay but it has not been easy to find the right words. I am not sure any words will do justice to what I feel for them, but I will try.
Before anyone panics, please let me also assure you that they are not going anywhere. While they will not be actively coaching, they will still be active members of our community and if anything will be working out a lot more along side you now that they can focus exclusively on being an athlete once again. Both Kerri and Tat have given nearly 7 years of coaching service, more than anyone could ever have asked or expected of them. After six+ years they are both at a point in their careers where they are taking on increased roles and responsibilities that will take a great deal more of their personal time. It has also come time for both of them to take more of an active focus on themselves in both mind and body and enjoy just being an athlete once again. While being a coach is one of the most rewarding jobs, it can sometimes be a thankless one. It also requires a great deal of personal sacrifice which both of them have given in abundance over the years.
I think it is truly a testament to the strength of our community that we have had so many coaches who have been with us for so many years. Many of our coaches have been with us for 4+ years. There are not many other CrossFit gyms that can say that. While I would love to take credit for that, I can't. I know that our coaches stay on largely because of the bond they share with their fellow coaches and for the sense of pride and ownership they have in helping to build the amazing community we have. Kerri was the very first coach we ever brought on at CF Liberation. She started with us before we had even opened the doors. She had no clue what she was getting into, but she charged ahead in helping us build our dream from the ground up all the while working a full day job and completing graduate school. Tat, along with his husband Scott, were one of our first members. He quickly stood out as someone who would make an awesome coach and he eagerly dove in giving it more than 100% . Bringing them on was by far and away one of the best decisions we ever made. Both have proven themselves time and again as outstanding coaches and mentors. Over the last six years I have regularly received private messages or feedback from members telling me how Kerri or Tat were their favorite coaches and/or stories of how they helped a member or touched their lives in some way. For six years they have selflessly coached, sometimes at the sacrifice of their own fitness pursuits, to ensure our CrossFit family was well cared for, motivated, moving safely, and pushing themselves beyond their perceived limitations. They have demonstrated time and again their passion for teaching and helping others, as well as their commitment to their own personal development and being the best coach possible. I was always comforted knowing that when they coached a class our members were in excellent hands.
What many of you do not know is the amount of personal time and dedication they have put in over the years to making our community what it is today. From coaching way more hours than they needed to, programming support, helping grow Cold War into what it has become, and helping to groom the many awesome coaches we now have. Throughout it all they have continually set an amazing example for our members and other coaches.
For me personally they are more than just a coach or a friend, they are like family. They stood by my side through one of the scariest and most challenging times of my life and continue to do so to this day. They stood by me when many would have said this is too hard and just walked away, and sadly many did. But they stayed and believed in me and what we were trying to build, and helped make CF Liberation and now CF Kingstowne what it is today. They have been by my side every step of the way as we have evolved over the years and their friendship, guidance, and personal counsel has been invaluable to me.
I just hope that each of them knows how much I truly value them and I hope they know that none of what we have today would have been possible without them. Again, there really are no right words to properly thank them for their guidance, love, support, friendship and loyalty over the last six years. I just hope someday I can find some way to repay them for all they have done for me. I have tried to express it personally to them, but I hope that others will now join me in telling them how much they have meant to them as a coach.
While it hurts my heart to lose you as coaches, I am excited to watch this next chapter of your lives unfold and support you as you pursue some of your own personal interests, as well as watch you return to the athletes you have wanted to be for a long time, but have had to quite often put on hold.
I hope you both know how many lives you have touched over the years, including mine. If for any reason you would ever doubt how much I appreciate you, please don't. I may not show it well, especially in the chaos that is my life, but I have come to rely so much on your counsel and I will miss it very much. To be honest, I think I have been in denial over the last few weeks that you will no longer be coaching (lol). I truly don't know what I will do without you, but I take comfort in having you both in my life and part of our family.
I apologize for the long post. As you can see I had a lot to say, and probably could go on. But ultimately there is nothing really more to say than just thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be forever indebted to both of you.

How Sciatica Can Affect New Yorkers
New York City is one of the busiest urban areas in the world; our non-stop lifestyle means it is easy to neglect taking care of our health. When it comes to pain, many busy New Yorkers will choose the easy route to numb the pain by ingesting over-the-counter or prescription medication, or wait until the pain becomes unbearable to seek treatment. This is, however, a very dangerous approach considering the serious possible side effects of prescription drugs and the fact that while they keep pain under control, they do not address the condition that is causing it.
Adults in NYC are prone to experiencing sciatica because they work long hours and take on many activities. While those who engage in regular physical exercise are at a lower risk, those with desk jobs as well as jobs that involve heavy lifting and other taxing conditions exhibit the highest incidence of sciatica-related pain. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve (a large nerve that extends from the lower back down each leg) is irritated by excessive pressure caused by imbalances or subluxations in the lower back/hip area and the affected discs press on the sciatic nerve. When the sciatic nerve is impinged or inflamed, it sends painful signals down the buttock and leg. If not treated promptly, the condition will worsen and has the potential of causing severe pain that can render the patient immobile and cause irreversible nerve damage in the most extreme cases. Our NYC physical rehabilitation and pain management facility has treated patients who have had to resort to using canes and wheelchairs in order to walk because of the great deal of pain they were experiencing due to sciatica.
The good news is sciatica is a common and treatable condition and its ensuing damage on surrounding soft tissue and nerves is usually reversible. Our NYC facility offers the latest in non-surgical treatments for sciatica and provides customized treatment plans that ensure pain relief and long-term results in a short period of time and in the majority of cases without the additional aid of painkillers. Our treatment protocols include a personalized combination of manual adjustments, spinal decompression, physical therapy, and can be enhanced with our available massage therapy and acupuncture treatments for relaxation and pain relief. Every treatment regime begins with a consultation and evaluation with our doctors to determine the exact cause of pain. Patients suffering from low-back, hip or leg pain are welcome to visit us for a consultation and a custom-tailored pain relief plan by our team of experts.
