Tilapia, commonly known as engege is one of the oldest types of fish in Uganda. It is affordable, with each costing between Shs5,000 and Shs10,000 and can be cooked and enjoyed in different ways.
Moreen Arinda loves cooking tilapia and when she cannot cook it herself, she eats it at her favourite restaurant in Kampala. "My doctor said tilapia is a good source of proteins. I was also told that if I eat tilapia, and it is more than what my body needs, the body system converts it into energy that is used for the development of organs such as the skin and muscles," Arinda says.
Omega 3 fatty acids
Dr Henry Musinguzi, a physician at Nyakibaale Hospital, says when you eat tilapia, you tap into its rich natural omega 3 fatty acids that are scientifically known for preventing and reducing the health risks of various heart diseases.
"These oils (omega 3 fatty acids) act as cleansers of excess fats within the human blood vessels, especially around the heart area. When these are not kept in check, they clog or block blood vessels transporting blood to all parts of the body and one of the natural remedies of keeping your heart functioning well by eating tilapia," Musinguzi explains.
According to Dr Musinguzi, not only do omega 3 fatty acids found in tilapia get rid of excess fats in blood vessels but they also have an element of boosting brain functionality and development. He adds that tilapia also contains selenium which plays an anti-aging role in the human body by making your skin smooth and healthy. Eating tilapia to tap in selenium, Dr Musinguzi says, is highly connected to the reduction of the risk of prostate cancer, especially in men above 40.
"Tilapia is also rich in phosphorous which helps in the development of bones especially in children. This phosphorous component also helps to strengthen your teeth and nails," he further explains, adding that eating tilapia twice a week, if resources permit, makes your bones twice stronger compared to someone who does not eat it.
Hope Nimurungi, a nutritionist, says unlike other white foods, tilapia is one of the sea or lake foods that keep your body weight at a constant. This is because it contains low fat and calorie levels. "Tilapia is a rich source of vitamins B6 and B12 and these help in cognitive development and for the proper functioning of your body nerves. When your body is low on vitamin B12 which is got from tilapia, it may lead to nerve damage," Nimurungi explains.
Treats depression
Studies have found that people who eat fish regularly are much less likely to get depressed. Numerous controlled trials have also found that omega-3 fatty acids in tilapia are beneficial in fighting depression, and significantly increase the effectiveness of antidepressant medication.
What this means is that tilapia can quite literally make you a happier person and improve your quality of life. Fish and omega-3 fatty acids may also help with other mental disorders, such as bipolar disorder.
Dr Musinguzi concludes that when pregnant mothers eat tilapia, it enhances the fast development of the child's brain which makes them brighter and intelligent when they start schooling.

We were outnumbered. Four girlfriends. FIVE children under three with one more on the way.
We were officially outnumbered.
On Friday evening, Levi and I dropped Dave off to work and headed over to meet up with some of my favourite girlfriends. All of us are mothers now. Newborns, toddlers and womb-babies all a-go around us as we attempt to catch up on the chaos of life with each other. Times have most definitely changed. Broken conversations in between attending to the little ones; tears, delirious overtired laughter, trying to catch each other up on the latest goings on, struggles and joys. Ordering in food instead of cooking because, REALLY. FIVE UNDER THREE.
The scene was chaotic, yet warm and familiar and as I looked around at these strong beautiful women, I felt so grateful to be able to mother alongside them. There we were in our fragile, worn out spirits, yet not thinking twice about picking up another ones crying child when they fell, changing nappies so that someone else could do a feed; stealing short, comforting conversations letting each other know that we are heard. We are understood. We are the same. What a privilege to have friends to ride this parenting rollercoaster with.
There is no room for disguises in these early parenting friendships. It's not supposed to look easy. Parenting is hard and it exposes us. It reflects back at you in sharp and unexpected ways. But the struggle unites us; that's the story the world over. The tiredness, the questions, the guilt, the frustration - you won't get by unless you have friends to empty all of that out in front of. Trust me. You just won't. And somehow, you find yourself stronger when you know you're not alone. Some of my hardest parenting stages have been eased by a short confirming conversation with a friend who tells me they have been there, acknowledged it was hard and assures me I will live to tell the tale. Empathy is powerful. None of us really know what we are doing too much. We are all doing our best, mustering up the energy to love our children well every day.
Friendship certainly does look different these days; a little less spontaneous but a lot more honest.

MEDINA, Ohio, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RPM International Inc.
(NYSE: RPM) announced today that its board of directors has adopted a new
Stockholder Rights Plan to replace the rights plan that was originally adopted
in 1999 and will expire in May 2009. The new plan is substantively similar to
its predecessor. Under the new plan, the RPM board declared a dividend
distribution of one right for each outstanding share of RPM's common stock,
payable May 11, 2009.
The rights will initially trade together with shares of RPM's common stock
and will not be exercisable. The rights generally will become exercisable and
allow the holder to acquire shares of RPM's common stock at a discounted price
if a person or group acquires 15% or more of RPM's outstanding shares. Rights
held by persons who exceed the applicable threshold will be void. Under
certain circumstances, the rights will entitle the holder to buy shares in an
acquiring entity at a discounted price.
RPM's board may, at its option, redeem all rights for $0.001 per right,
generally at any time prior to the rights becoming exercisable. The rights
will expire May 11, 2019, unless earlier redeemed, exchanged or amended by the
board. The new plan specifically provides that the board will review the
status of the new plan at the end of five years to determine if any such
action should be taken.
"Stockholder rights plans are common in major American companies and
provide a well-accepted approach to ensuring that all stockholders receive a
fair price and are treated equally in the event of a takeover," stated Frank
C. Sullivan, chairman and chief executive officer of the specialty coatings
Mr. Sullivan stated that the renewal of the plan was not taken in response
to or in anticipation of any specific or proposed change in control of RPM.
The issuance of the rights is not a taxable event, will not affect RPM's
reported financial condition or results of operations, including earnings per
share, and will not change the way in which shares of RPM's common stock are
currently traded.

Thanksgiving gone and already Christmas in few days. Time is flying by. I have been re-reading a book that is about a woman who takes care of her dad who is dying of lung cancer. I hate it, yet I read it. Sounds true to me. Hard to take and hard to put down. In some ways it feels good to know that other people have gone through the same experiences as you have. Some comfort in that. A week ago or so, Mom made a Christmas tree for Dad's grave and we took it to the cemetery. It fits right over the vase. We also took a greenery type deer and put him there too. It's so hard to believe that Dad is dead. I have been trying to block out thoughts of his sickness because it is hard to think of him like that now. It makes me feel so very very sad. In fact I can't really write anymore now.

Passengers per hour per direction[1] or passengers per hour in peak direction[2] (pphpd or p/h/d) is a measure of the capacity of a rapid transit or public transport system.
Directional flow
Many public transport systems handle a high directional flow of passengers— often traveling to work in a city in the morning rush hour and away from the said city in the late afternoon. To increase the passenger throughput, many systems can be reconfigured to change the direction of the optimized flow. A common example is a railway or metro station with more than two parallel escalators, where the majority of the escalators can be set to move in one direction. This gives rise to the measure of the peak-flow rather than a simple average of half of the total capacity.
Bus Rapid Transit (at grade)
90 passengers per vehicle * 15 vehicles per hour = 1,350 passengers per hour per direction. This number suggests a maximum daily ridership of around 20,000, which is what the Los Angeles Metro Orange Line is averaging.
Bus Rapid Transit (grade-separated)
90 passengers per vehicle * 30 vehicles per hour = 2,700 passengers per hour per direction. Note that by lengthening the platforms at bus rapid transit stations to provide more than one space where a bus can stop, you can add more vehicles and thus more capacity.
Light Rail Transit (at grade)
90 passengers per vehicle * 3 vehicles per train * 15 vehicle sets per hour = 4,050 passengers per hour. This number suggests a maximum daily ridership of around 60,000.
Light Rail Transit (grade-separated)
90 passengers per vehicle * 3 vehicles per train * 30 vehicle sets per hour = 8,100 passengers per hour.
100 passengers per vehicle * 10 vehicles per train * 30 vehicle sets per hour = 30,000 passengers per hour. This number suggests a maximum daily ridership of around 450,000. The Bloor line in Toronto has a daily ridership of almost 500,000, while the Yonge line, which is really two lines, Yonge and University-Spading, has a ridership of over 700,000.

I was really hoping it wouldn't happen, but I can't say I haven't been uneasily awaiting the impending inevitability of a smear campaign against Trayvon Martin. I saw its conception, as whispers began about the theories for Trayvon's "mysterious" school suspension. And then it began to take shape as people's racist rhetoric and pictures flooded my Facebook newsfeed and Twitter timeline; "he shouldn't have been dressed like a thug", a picture of Trayvon wearing a gold grill on his bottom teeth, a picture of "Trayvon" (that was not actually even him, but just another random black kid) giving the camera the middle finger with his shirt off, and videos and articles with ridiculous comments made by Right Wing leaders and commentators.
And suddenly, the ugly beast was birthed in full effect, and the real smear campaign commenced. Zimmerman, painting himself as the victim, reported that Trayvon was the aggressor and attacked him. The Sanford Police Station unjustifiably leaked information about Trayvon's school suspension (he was caught with a trace-amount of marijuana), as if that had anything to do with this case. There have even been ridiculous, erroneous claims that Trayvon was a drug dealer. And in general, Trayvon has begun to be painted as the "typical thugged-out, blinged-up, gang-affiliated, violent, drugged-up" stereotype of black man, ostensibly "justifying" his murder for White America. It is devastating, and sad, and sick. It makes me weak.
His mother said, "They've killed my son and now they're trying to kill his reputation."
I don't know what is more heinous in my eyes, how the media is unashamedly ripping apart the character of a voiceless murder victim, or how certain people are so quick to jump on the smear bandwagon with their, "See! I told you so," posts and attitudes. What I do know, is Trayvon's suspension for trace-amounts of marijuna has nothing to do with this case, except for the fact that Trayvon probably would not have been there on that dreaded night, had he not been suspended by the "Zero Tolerance" policies of the school, because he was visiting his father during his suspension. I also know that in the United States it is statistically proven that though white kids are more likely to use drugs, black kids (making up 70% of all youth reported to authorities by schools but only 18% of the school population in the U.S.) are more likely than their white peers to be suspended from school for drugs.
Speaking of white kids' drug use, I smoked weed in high school. And I smoked way more than trace amounts. Does that mean that it would have been okay for some self-proclaimed neighborhood watch vigilante to gun me down? Nope. But come on, are you really trying to say that the possibility of Trayvon smoking weed at some point, and getting suspended from school vindicates his murder? Please! That makes about as much sense as the picture of the random black kid who is not even Trayvon providing reason for his death.
As for Zimmerman's reports that Trayvon attacked him, I think he's lying. And yes, I am entitled to my own opinion. Sure, I definitely believe they probably got into a scuffle when Zimmerman confronted Trayvon, which would explain the scrapes Zimmerman received on his face. Trayvon might have even gotten in a few good punches, because he felt threatened by the strange man who had followed and then confronted him. But no, I do not believe Trayvon turned around, chased Zimmerman down, and beat him to the ground, as Zimmerman is trying to claim.
I am not professing to know what happened that evening. The truth is, the only two people who know exactly what happened are George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. Most unfortunately, one of them was killed by the other one and is therefore unable to give his account. We may never know all the details of what really went down. I am not trying to paint Trayvon Martin as a perfect angel, nor George Zimmerman as an evil demon. I am merely trying to say that it is ludicrous to get caught up in the media's smear campaign aimed at a dead child.
We don't know all the facts, but here are some important things to remember:
It is more than a month after the murder took place. Of course Zimmerman has had plenty of time to speak with his lawyer and anyone else, working up a solid story that would protect him under the Stand Your Ground law. Let us also remember that police did not check Zimmerman for toxicity on the evening. If he had been under the influence of a substance, which he very well may have been, it could have given explanation as to why he was hyped up enough to kill someone, why his judgement was clouded, or why his recollections of the events may not be accurate.
Zimmerman was renowned for both habitually calling 911, and racially profiling young black men. In Zimmerman's 911 call we see that he has already labelled Trayvon as "up to know good" and classed him in the category of those who "always get away". You can hear when he begins walking fast or even jogs as he follows Trayvon and breathes heavily into the phone. The dispatcher told him they don't need him to do that. He says ok, but you can hear that he does not stop, and continues moving swiftly and breathing heavily.
Now, the media says there is about a minute after this call where we "don't know what happened". That's actually not true because Trayvon was speaking on the phone with a friend. His friend recounts, "He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man. I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run, but he said he was not going to run." His friend said he eventually began to run, and thought he had managed to escape, but suddenly said the "strange man" was back, which concerned Trayvon. "Trayvon said, 'What are you following me for,' and the man said, 'What are you doing here.' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again, and he didn't answer the phone." And then the line went dead. That does not fit with the "Now you've got a problem!!" kind of threat that Zimmerman is claiming.
Then, of course, we have the horrible 911 call from the neighbor, where you don't have to be a voice recognition specialist to hear that the screams, cries and pleas for help are not Zimmerman's. A couple of the witnesses (who only heard what was going on or saw vague figures) on the night have reported that they were told by police to say the screams came from Zimmerman, when they were not even sure what was going on. They have come back and retracted those statements.
As I've said, I wasn't there on the evening, so I don't know. But from the evidence we have, it seems to me that Zimmerman was the aggressor from the beginning, not Trayvon.

The Social Network, a damning biopic about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, won the weekend, debuting at No. 1 at the box office and raking in $23 million. As is the case with any monster hit, says ValleyWag's Ryan Tate, the "mushrooming backlash" is well under way. Here are five of the biggest complaints and gripes about the film:
1. It isn't an accurate portrayal of Zuckerberg or his back story
The movie's depiction of Zuckerberg — "blinkless, humorless, heartless ... Aspergery" — is nothing like the charismatic tech visionary I've met several times, says Jeff Jarvis in The Huffington Post. A lot of the film is fiction, says Terri Schwartz at MTV's Movie Blog, including the girlfriend who breaks up with Zuckerberg in the opening scene. No one has claimed it's strictly factual, says ValleyWag's Tate. Its makers have said, repeatedly, "that the movie is a riff on what actually happened, not a faithful reproduction."
2. The film doesn't get social networking
"Part of the backlash" from moviegoers and Silicon Valley, says Sharon Waxman in The Wrap, reflects the fact that "a large majority of the film's producers and principal architects have no active Facebook pages" and seemingly don't understand "the greatest communications revolution since moveable type." The movie represents "the biggest culmination yet of old media's disdain and misreading of new media," agrees Jose Antonio Vargas in The Huffington Post.
3. A Social Network lawsuit?
"It doesn't seem implausible to think that Zuckerberg would sue the pants off of somebody," says Ashby Jones in The Wall Street Journal, but would he win? The filmmakers make no attempt to mask his identity and don't even run the standard "any resemblance to real persons ..." disclaimer, says John Schwartz in The New York Times, but if a court found Zuckerberg to be a "public figure," as seems likely, he'd probably end up with nothing but a messy, dirty-laundry-airing court loss. His best shot: "Sue in London," where libel laws are much more plaintiff friendly, counsels First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams, as quoted in the Times.
4. The movie is sexist
"Complaining about misogyny in modern blockbuster cinema is about as productive as lamenting Facebook's grip on our society," says Rebecca Davis O'Brien in The Daily Beast. But The Social Network really takes the cake. With two exceptions, all the female characters in the movie are mere "props, buxom extras literally bused in to fill the roles of doting groupies, vengeful sluts, or dumpy, feminist killjoys." The adoring critical acclaim makes this sexism all the worse. "What are we to do with a great film that makes women look so awful?"
5. Some of the special effects are "terrible"
Seamlessly creating the Winklevoss twins by pasting one actor's head on another's body was slick, says Kyle Buchanan in New York magazine. But that makes the movie's "moments of terrible CG" all the worse. Take the "cold breath" that was digitally added to the outdoor Harvard scenes: The "ostentatiously visible and swirly" breath plumes are so "weird and jarring," it's a relief when the movie shifts to Palo Alto, Calif., where there's no chance that Jesse Eisenberg will be "upstaged by his own breath."

It was on 1 July 1916, one hundred years ago, that one of history's deadliest battles would begin. The Battle of the Somme is considered to be one of the bloodiest battles in military history. In total the battle spanned 141 days – ending on 18 November 1916 – and saw the British Army alone suffer more than 400,000 casualties. Now, on the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, Britain prepares to remember the sacrifices made as the First World War centenary commemorations, which began in 2014, continue.
As part of the commemorations to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, our First World War commemorative coin series continues with a new coin issue.
What was the Battle of the Somme?
In the summer of 1916 the British and French armies launched a joint offensive against the German forces in the Somme region of France. General Sir Douglas Haig of the British Army had hoped to break German lines at the Somme and bring to an end the deadlock of trench warfare. He had also hoped that this offensive would 'battle-harden' his troops in the process – many of whom were inexperienced volunteers recruited following the outbreak of war. So, on 1 July 1916, British troops rose from their trenches and advanced across no man's land.
General Haig's 'Big Push' offensive would prove ineffective and as the soldiers advanced they were met by a hail of German gunfire. On the first day alone the British Army suffered 57,470 casualties, including 19,240 deaths, making it the bloodiest day in British military history. 141 days of fierce battle would follow, with the Battle of the Somme finally coming to an end on 18 November 1916.
It was a pivotal battle that would prove to be a turning point in the First World War. Tanks were deployed by the British Army for the first time. Crucial military lessons were learned and, as a result, new tactics, weapons and techniques for coordinating attacks were applied in future battles, all of which would contribute to the eventual allied victory in 1918.
Regardless of its impact on the outcome of the war, the Battle of the Somme will forever be remembered for the devastating death toll. By the time the Battle of the Somme ended on 18 November 1916, the number of British casualties had risen to 419,654, while the total casualties counted on all sides reached more than one million. The human cost at the Battle of the Somme was appalling and, for many families, remains the most painful and devastating battle of the First World War.
The 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme commemorative coin
The Battle of the Somme commemorative coin has been released as part of The Royal Mint's five-year programme of commemoration of the First World War. Produced in collaboration with The Imperial War Museum, the programme, which began in 2014, tells the story of the emotive journey from outbreak to armistice.
The design for the Battle of the Somme coin, by coinage artist John Bergdahl, depicts a poignant scene from the terrible event. Infantrymen advance into no man's land in the foreground, while the significance of the debut of the tank at the Battle of the Somme is depicted in the background of the design. The coin's edge lettering, 'DEAD MEN CAN ADVANCE NO FURTHER', is an apt quotation taken from Major-General Sir Beauvoir de Lisle, Commander of the 29th British Division.
John Bergdahl's association with The Royal Mint stretches back many years. His recent work includes the £2 coin marking the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta and he also designed a coin commemorating the 100th anniversary the Battle of Jutland, which features alongside this coin in the First World War 2016 Six-Coin Set.
It also seems fitting that this year we honour the role of the Army in the First World War on a £2 coin. You'll be able to find this in your change later this year, so keep your eyes peeled and let us know when you find it. Join fellow coin hunters on Twitter and tweet using #CoinHunt, or share your latest finds on our Facebook page.

It's your story.
Media and Presentation Training for Leaders
Oratorio principals Susan Tomai and Bill Connor and the rest of the Oratorio team are award-winning broadcast journalists who show senior officials from around the world the power of persuasive sound bites and compelling presentations. In our TV studio located three blocks from the White House in Washington and in locations from L.A. to Bangkok to Dubai, we serve senior-level clients from business, government, politics, associations and more.
"Bill Connor and Susan Tomai, both former TV journalists, have spent 20 years building Oratorio, a media training outfit in downtown Washington that caters to prominent executives, politicians and the scandal-ridden. Together, they train decision-makers ahead of their big moments on CNN or CNBC and in front of Congress. Their clients include a mix of Republicans and Democrats on the Hill, the heads of Fortune 500 companies, and scientists, economists and lobbyists."
What We Do
Media interviews, presentations, speeches, meetings, conferences, webcasts and other types of public communications are all golden opportunities to advance your agenda and your career - but only if you're well-prepared. Oratorio's experts show professionals how to deliver their key messages with style, confidence and discipline.
Media, Crisis, and Presentation Training
The best reason to give an interview is to advance an agenda – and controlling the outcome is crucial. One favorable soundbite can produce huge bottom-line benefits to an organization; a poor performance can mean a waste of resources at best and disaster at worst.
Message Development
Oratorio has developed a specialized methodology for turning essential information into powerful messaging. Using a proprietary brainstorming technique and a series of worksheets and templates we've developed, participants learn how to rapidly organize their thoughts and put them into clear and compelling language for interviews and presentations.
The simple fact is that people respond to stories. People aren't moved to action by lots of dry data, or complicated PowerPoint slides. They are moved and engaged by storytelling.

WE'RE just midway through June and have already witnessed major fires in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Alaska. Many of these wildfires have grown in heat, intensity and size in recent years, consuming millions of acres with disastrous consequences and costs. They have become the new reality in the Western United States.
Megafires have exploded in number over the last decade for several reasons. First, shorter and warmer winters followed by hotter and drier summers have significantly extended the fire season. Second, the conditions of Western forests have left them vulnerable. They are dense, lack species diversity and are overpopulated with older, diseased trees susceptible to epidemics like the bark beetle infestation that has left behind 40 million acres of dead trees. Dense underbrush and dead trees are fuel for extreme wildfires.
Finally, despite the growing danger of megafires, nearly 40 percent of recent development in the West has been in wildland fire zones. This risky pattern makes putting out fires more urgent, more dangerous and more expensive.
It's no surprise, then, that megafires have become commonplace, threatening not only human life and property but our water supplies, electric grid, wildlife habitat and recreation lands. In recent years, close to 10 million acres annually have been lost to wildland fires (in contrast to less than half that acreage before 2000), and the intensity of these fires is sterilizing the soil and leading to extensive post-fire flooding because there is no vegetation left to check rainwater runoff.
With a prolonged drought continuing in parts of the West, this year is shaping up to be particularly bad. The Forest Service has warned of "a catastrophic fire season in the Southwest" and has estimated that firefighting costs for the service and the Interior Department could reach $1.8 billion this year, $470 million more than what is available.
The federal government is primarily responsible for fighting these fires. The Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management devote huge portions of their budgets to fire preparedness and suppression. The Forest Service once allocated less than 20 percent of its budget to fire activity, but now the agency spends upward of 50 percent on this problem.
Even so, these allocations are insufficient to pay the bill for air tankers, helicopters, firefighters and fire engines. When confronted with megafires, the agencies must mobilize whatever resources are necessary. Any shortfall in funding is made up by taking money from other critical programs that improve the health and resilience of forests.
This creates a vicious cycle: Programs designed to create healthy forests and reduce the likelihood of catastrophic fires — such as the thinning of trees, the removal of thick underbrush and dead trees and controlled burns — are cannibalized to fight megafires. An ounce of prevention may be worth a pound of cure, but when it comes to fires the government doesn't provide enough resources for either.
Federal policies and budgets must break this cycle and recognize that megafires are a natural disaster that puts forests, property and human life at serious risk. As with hurricanes like Sandy, tornadoes that destroy towns in Oklahoma or floods that destroy communities along the Mississippi, megafires should be eligible for emergency disaster funding to offset the costs of fire suppression.
Thankfully, there appears to be a glimmer of hope. Senators Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, and Mike Crapo, a Republican from Idaho, have joined with Representatives Kurt Schrader, a Democrat from Oregon, and Mike Simpson, a Republican from Idaho, to make more money available to fight these fires. Their legislation, which has been endorsed by the Obama administration, would allow the Forest Service to draw money from federal disaster funds when firefighting costs reached 70 percent of the 10-year average. The agency would no longer have to strip money from its other programs to battle these fires.
This is a sensible approach to a serious problem. Congress should approve it. And, we hope, lawmakers will also consider providing additional money to accelerate the restoration of our forests and ease the threat of these conflagrations.
We can't let Western forests and communities burn down. These forests are national treasures that provide enormous benefits to society. If we don't act, we will continue to suffer from megafire disasters just like in the old spiritual line, "God gave Noah the rainbow sign, no more water, but fire next time." Our country cannot afford to risk more unabated and unrestricted fires.

We all enjoy a bit of magic every now and then. Even though we know it's all sleight of hand, smoke & mirrors, there is always an acceptable amount of suspension of disbelief from the audience, enough to allow us to sink into the fantasy and accept the illusion we see before us as something whimsical and mysterious. Today we are going to look at a famous magician with an amazing story to share.
His name was Sigmund Neuberger aka The Great Lafayette. Nowadays he doesn't really enjoy the same level of fame as some of his contemporaries (Houdini, for example) but, in his day, he was the most successful stage performer (of any kind) in the world. Audiences went crazy for his illusions. Quick change acts were his specialty and he perfected his signature illusion called The Lion's Bride which was, in of itself, a 25-minute spectacle where Lafayette would take the place of a lion.
Obviously, with so much success comes envy. Lafayette was reportedly hated by many of his contemporaries and even by his owns staff for being extremely demanding. This may or may not be true. One person who did like him, however, was the aforementioned Harry Houdini. In fact, one time, Houdini gave Lafayette a present in the form of a dog. Lafayette fell instantly in love with the dog he named Beauty. The two became inseparable and Lafayette spoiled her to the point of extreme. In fact, Beauty lived a life of luxury most humans never get to experience. Wherever Lafayette performed, Beauty had her own suite; she rode in a private coach everywhere she went; she wore a diamond-studded collar; she dined on 5-course meals every day.
The problem was that all that sitting and eating wasn't extremely healthy for her and, unsurprisingly, Beauty died of a stroke on April 30 1911. Lafayette was the saddest man on the planet. Completely inconsolable, one story (probably apocryphal) says that, in a prophetic moment, Lafayette even said that his own death would not be far away.
He wanted to give Beauty a proper sendoff and this included a human funeral and a burial in a human cemetery. Initially, his request was refused, but it was eventually accepted under the condition that he would also be buried in the same lot (not immediately, of course). Despite his grief, Lafayette had just begun a 2-week run at the Empire Theatre in Edinburgh so, as the saying goes, "the show must go on". And it did…but not for very long.
Just four days after Beauty died, Lafayette was performing his standard routine at the Empire Theatre. He was doing the big finale, The Lion's Bride, when a faulty stage lamp caused a fire. The audience managed to make it out in one piece, but the performers weren't so lucky. Standard procedure involved securing the side-doors because the act did involve a lion, after all. When it was all said and done, 11 stage members died in the fire and Lafayette was among them. If you're interested, you can watch a 100-year old film with the aftermath of the fire here.
Lafayette actually made it out of the fire initially. However, he went back to try and save a horse and got trapped by the flames. His body was found the day after. Although the remains were too charred to be identified, Lafayette was recognized by the elaborate costume he wore during the performance (which was that of a Turkish pasha). His body was sent to the cemetery in order to make burial preparations.
However, a few days later, while people were digging through the rubble, they found another body. This one had Lafayette's expensive rings he liked to wear. Although it was completely unintentional, Lafayette pulled off one final trick – he switched places with his body double who was also wearing the same costume. Obviously, the mistake was fixed and the actual Lafayette's remains were then brought to the cemetery to be buried next to Beauty.

STOCKTON - Three men charged in the shooting of 29-year-old Eric Valverde outside of Evviva Lounge will spend the rest of their lives in state prison in connection to the murder.
STOCKTON - Three men charged in the shooting of 29-year-old Eric Valverde outside of Evviva Lounge will spend the rest of their lives in state prison in connection to the murder.
A judge sentenced Raymond Valles Jr., 19, Brandon Riberal, 20, and his father, Rocky Riberal, 46, to life terms Monday following guilty verdicts from two juries.
Valverde was struck by gunfire after a disturbance broke out at Alder Street and Pacific Avenue on March 31, 2012.
Valverde was at the wrong place at the wrong time, according to prosecutors.
Supervising Deputy District Attorney Janet Smith said evidence showed the assailants were looking for rival gang members when they instead shot Valverde during the outside commotion. Valverde was trying to get his friends in their car to leave the scene, Smith said.
"Unfortunately, this is just another random act of the type of gang violence that polarizes our community," Smith said. "A man lost his life for no reason. "This was on a crowded street with dozens of people around."
Witnesses testified that an SUV drove up to the crowd and someone fired from inside before fleeing the area.
Valverde's relatives read victim impact statements at the sentencing and described him as a hardworking, responsible and loving man.
Valverde had lost his mother to illness six months prior to his own death. Toward the end of her life, he had devoted himself to being her caretaker.
Even with that responsibility, he worked to reach his own goals. Valverde was following his uncle's footsteps in becoming a plumber and was near completing the requirements to become a licensed journeyman, relatives said.
Valverde was not a troublemaker, his family said, and they never pictured themselves going to court and becoming part of a criminal case.
"I know him through family members. I know based on that information, he came from a good and close-knit family," Smith said.
Superior Court Judge Seth Hoyt Jr. declined to allow the defendants' relatives to read letters to the court to avoid potential courtroom disorder.
Two of the defendants, however, did make statements, both expressing condolences for the victim, but declaring they were not the triggermen.
"I'm not what these people think I am," said Valles, asking Hoyt for a second chance to do "positive things."
"Please have mercy on me," he said.
Defense attorney Tai Bogan said Valles has gotten married and completed his high school diploma while in custody.
Bogan also asked the judge to consider that Valles was a juvenile when the shooting occurred.
Rocky Riberal, who was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder with firearm special circumstances, maintained he was unaware the firearm and vehicle he let his son use would be part of the shooting.
Evidence was presented that he rented an SUV hours before the incident.
"You are sending an innocent man to prison," Rocky Riberal said. "I wish I could go back and not let my son use my car."
But Hoyt was not swayed by their pleas.
Valles and Brandon Riberal were each sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole with an additional 57 years to life. The two were found guilty of first-degree murder with special circumstances and a list of other charges.
One of the aggravating factors Hoyt considered is that Valles and Brandon Riberal had been convicted of committing an armed robbery as juveniles. That should have been their second chance, he said.
"Unfortunately for your family, you don't get a second chance," Hoyt said.
In reference to Rocky Riberal's statement, Hoyt said jurors heard evidence that he provided surveillance to the suspects the evening Valverde was killed.
Rocky Riberal was sentenced to 82 years to life in prison.
Dual juries in the trial heard evidence for more than three months, and attorneys submitted about 700 exhibits.
Because of the gang involvement, court officials had to pay close attention to who walked though the doors of the courtroom.
During proceedings, authorities identified a number of documented gang members in the audience. Some who showed up to watch the trial were arrested for either outstanding warrants or for violating parole by attending the proceedings.
Two defendants in the case are still awaiting trial.
Vicente Yanez, 20, and Carlos Zendejas, 19, are scheduled to be in court in November. Smith said there have been no plea deal discussions.

There were thousands of Kantoreks, all of whom were convinced that they were acting for the best—in a way that cost them nothing.
And that is why they let us down so badly.
For us lads of eighteen they ought to have been mediators and guides to the world of maturity, the world of work, of duty, of culture, of progress—to the future. We often made fun of them and played jokes on them, but in our hearts we trusted them. The idea of authority, which they represented, was associated in our minds with a greater insight and a more humane wisdom. But the first death we saw shattered this belief. We had to recognize that our generation was more to be trusted than theirs. They surpassed us only in phrases and cleverness. The first bombardment shows us our mistake, and under it the world as they had taught it to us broke in pieces.
While they continued to write and talk, we saw the wounded and dying. While they taught that duty to one's country is the greatest thing, we already knew that death-throes are stronger. But for all that we were no mutineers, no deserters, no cowards - they were very free with all these expressions. We loved our country as much as they; we went courageusouly into every action; but also we distinguished the false from the true, we had suddenly learned to see. And we saw that there was nothing of their world left. We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.
- All is Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque

Many counties and states have searchable online databases. Employees of the correctional institution are also allowed to tell you over the phone.
Once someone is in the court system and sent to jail, the reasons behind the incarceration are public record. Meaning, you can find out why they went to jail with a quick search. Many counties and states have searchable online databases. Employees of the correctional institution are also allowed to tell you over the phone.
Call the jail or prison. Give the inmate's name and ask for the charges that landed them in jail. The employee is allowed to tell you why the inmates are behind bars.
Go to the state Department of Corrections or county jail's inmate look-up system. The federal government also has one through the Federal Bureau of Prisons. New York State and its counties, for example, have online databases searchable from any computer. There are also independent websites that offer inmate look-up services for free.
Use a state database to look up inmates who are in state prison. Use a county or local system for jails. VINE Link, the online version of the National Victim Notification Network called "Victim Information and Notification Everyday" provides information on criminal cases and offenders' custody status across the country.
Enter the last name of the inmate, or choose a letter to look under.
Scroll through the inmates until you find the one you're inquiring about. Next to the name is the person's age, cell, offense, court, court date, arresting agency, bond amount, and bail remarks. Many sites also have a photograph of the person.
Click on the person's name. Another page will open displaying more information such as their race, gender, and birth date. The charges will be listed, along with visitation information.

3D Printing comes through again.
A California man used a 3D printer to help doctors identify the nature of his wife's brain tumor, and helped lead the doctors to an unconventional and successful surgery.
Later on, after another trip the doctor and further MRI scans, it was found that her tumor was actually growing -- a disheartening diagnosis. Balzer, however, continued creating his models, and after cross-examining the new MRI scans with the old, he found that the doctor had made a mistake while measuring. The tumor was not actually growing.
Hoping to avoid the standard surgery for brain tumors of this kind, which is incredibly invasive, the couple decided to print a physical model of her skull and find a surgeon willing to do a more unconventional surgery. They eventually found a willing surgeon, who, with the help of the model, was able to successfully operate using a less invasive procedure.
The surgeon told the couple after the surgery that had they waited another several months for surgery as doctors had initially advised, the tumor could have progressed to a point where she may have lost her eyesight.

Essential Watching for the Film Buff
If you want to call yourself a film buff there are some certain films that you should have seen in each genre. We at LondonCityGirl have put together a definitive list of films we consider musts if you want to consider yourself worthy of the film buff identity.
Citizen Kane
Citizen Kane tops nearly every "All time Greatest Movie" list and with good reason. Orson Welles' feature length directorial debut - which tells the story of the rise and fall of a newspaper magnate - made great strides in cinematography and showed other filmmakers how music and narrative structure could be played around with to give a story added depth and dimension.
Citizen Kane emerged with much hype, controversy and fanfare but in spite of glowing reviews the film disappeared at the box office and it only emerged as the classic it is regarded to be today around the late 40s when a number of French critics took to championing it.
Other notable drama films the film buff should see: On the Waterfront, Rebel Without a Cause, The Shawshank Redemption.
The Godfather
The Godfather is the ultimate mafia movie with no other film in that genre making its presence felt in the popular conscious like the Godfather films.
Coppola essentially tells the story of a family set in the violent world of the Italian mob in America and his sympathetic treatment of the main characters enthralled a world which rarely, if ever, got a glimpse into the workings of the criminal underworld.
Other notable crime films the film buff should see: Goodfellas, Chinatown, Scarface, Mean Streets, The Usual Suspects.
Before Sunrise
Before Sunrise taps into the grown up fantasy of finding another person of the opposite sex where the connection and the chemistry is instant and left uncomplicated by previous baggage.
Jesse and Céline meet on a train in Austria, both are bound for different parts of the world but they decide to spend the day together. Knowing that they have only a limited amount of time they explore the city and more importantly explore themselves and each other unfettered by the fear of tomorrow.
Romance is a difficult genre to crack as critics are often resistant to it and it is frequently regarded as a subsection of film solely targeted to females. Director Richard Linklater - who was a young man at the time of making the movie - managed to make a film that spoke to both sexes.
Other notable romance films the film buff should see: Dirty Dancing, Brief Encounter, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
This is Spinal Tap
This is Spinal Tap is a mockumentary of the fictional rock band Spinal Tap.
Every scene is gut wrenchingly funny as the story unfolds and the situations become more and more outlandish with the rock stars apparently having no awareness of how absurd they are.
Who can forget Tufnell sincerely introducing an amplifier which goes up to 11 rather than 10 and the gig where a collection of midgets are hired to dance around a replica 18 inch Stonehenge?
The film is satire at its absolute best and although it the initial reception was luke warm audiences quickly made sense of the joke and the movie cemented its position in film history.
Other notable comedy films the film buff should see: Anchorman, Dr Strangelove, Blazing Saddles.
Science Fiction
2001: Space Odyssey
After more than 40 years since its release 2001 still remains head and shoulders above any other science fiction film ever made.
Stanley Kubrick's genius for film making is laid out in every moment of this visual masterpiece which has barely 20 minutes of dialogue. The film deals with ideas of human evolution and purpose, it examines the technological leaps mankind is making and what that may entail for our future and it wonders if we are alone in the Universe.
2001 is a film that offers no answers but one that makes the viewer confront all the questions we all secretly ask ourselves when looking up into the night sky.
Other notable science fiction films the film buff should see: District 9, Soylent Green, Moon, The Matrix, Primer.
Romantic Comedy
When Harry Met Sally
Razor sharp dialogue all wrapped up in a beautiful Hollywood bow.
When Harry Met Sally is an example of what glossy romantic comedies could be if Hollywood deigned to take more care over the genre rather than sticking the likes of Kate Hudson and Jennifer Lopez with Matthew McConaughey in a contrived-to-the-very-limits-of-disbelief scenario.
Other notable rom com films the film buff should see: The Truth about Cats & Dogs, Pretty Woman and The Matchmaker (an undiscovered gem set in rural Ireland).
Beauty and the Beast
This current period is undoubtedly a golden age for Japanese animation with Hayao Miyazaki the Godfather of the moment while Disney animation has definitely fallen out of favour but we shouldn't be too ready to diss Disney just yet.
Over the years Disney too has produced some of the finest pieces of animation in the form of Snow White, The Jungle Book,Dumbo etc but the best example of what Disney is capable of comes in the form of Beauty and the Beast.
The animation is breathtaking, the musical numbers flawless, that coupled with a strong script made Beauty and the Beast one of Disney's greatest moments.
Other notable animation films the film buff should see: Toy Story 1, 2 & 3, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, Up, Aladdin, The Jungle Book and Snow White.
Singin' in the Rain
The 50s was the era of musicals with the likes of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire lighting up our screens. Unfortunately no contemporary actors seem to be able to master the art of dance like the stars of yesterday and musicals have died a death with the odd modern reprising popping up here and there.
Singin' in the Rain is essentially a love story but that takes a back seat to the spectacular musical numbers as Gene Kelly dazzles us. Kelly was a notoriously hard task master reducing many of his leading ladies to tears as they were simply not equipped to keep up with his extraordinary talent.
Other notable musicals the film buff should see: An American in Paris, The Red Shoes, Guys & Dolls, My Fair Lady, Grease.
The Exorcist
The story of the demonic possession of a little girl scared middle America to its very core in the early 70s. The shock and outrage mainly focussed on 13 year old Linda Blair's swearing and blasphemy but the Catholic church on the whole welcomed the film which was said to be responsible for the reaffirming of the faith of a number of lapsed individuals.
Other notable horror films the film buff should see: The Orphanage, Ringu, The Wicker Man, Let the Right One In.
Richard Attenborough's ode to his hero Gandhi was a labour of love that took twenty years to bear fruition and when it finally arrived it received almost universal praise.
Ben Kingsley's remarkable performance as the Father of the Nation was uncanny and it won him the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Other notable historical films the film buff should see: Schindler's List, Hotel Rwanda.
Being John Malkovich
Dreaming up a completely original screenplay with an idea that nobody in the world could come up with is no mean feat and Being John Malkovich and only a handful of other films can claim to have achieved just that.
Being John Malkovich is the story of a puppeteer who finds a portal into John Malkovich's mind and resulting from that discovery a whole host of twists and turns take place.
Other notable unusual films the film buff should see: The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Memento, Inception.
Apocalypse Now
Francis Ford Coppola has a talent for epic film making. Only at the hands of a select few Hollywood directors could Apocalypse Now have emerged as the brilliant piece of work it is today. The difficulties of shooting the film were legendary, Brando was overweight and moody, extreme storms destroyed sets and Coppola's protagonist Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack.
But in spite of it all the film set during the Vietnam war managed to portray all the confusion and dirt of modern warfare making it arguably the best war film ever made.
Other notable unusual films the film buff should see: The Deer Hunter, The Killing Fields, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Jarhead.
The Thin Blue Line
The Thin Blue Line investigates the murder of a Texan police officer and the resulting conviction of Randall Dale Adams for his murder.
Errol Morris explored the case and highlighted several discrepancies in the case against Adams and bought attention to the fact that five witnesses had committed perjury during the conviction. As a result of the film Adams' conviction was overturned and he was free to go however Adams wasn't grateful to Morris for his endeavours and instead sued the film maker for the rights to his story.
After the dispute was settled Adams said: "Mr. Morris felt he had the exclusive rights to my life story. ... I did not sue Errol Morris for any money or any percentages of The Thin Blue Line, though the media portrayed it that way."
And Morris himself said of the dispute: "When he got out, he became very angry at the fact that he had signed a release giving me rights to his life story. And he felt as though I had stolen something from him. Maybe I had, maybe I just don't understand what it's like to be in prison for that long, for a crime you hadn't committed. In a certain sense, the whole crazy deal with the release was fueled by my relationship with his attorney. And it's a long, complicated story, but I guess when people are involved, there's always a mess somewhere."
Other notable documentary films the film buff should see: Spellbound, Bowling for Columbine, The Triumph of the Will, Grizzly Man.

Trying to address a long list of security requirements for a device on a case-by-case basis is time consuming, costly and frankly not the best way to approach the problem. Two important architectural approaches to consider are separation of concerns and component reuse. Separation of concerns means separating out significant portions of a system into separate subsystems so they can be dealt with on their own (with well defined boundaries and interfaces). The reasons for this are many but for security design, it might be better to separate out the portion of the system that requires higher security from the rest of the system. This provides many benefits in terms of simplifying the system design, the security assessment and most importantly testing and validation (see a technical paper on this here).
Embedded virtualization is gaining popularity in embedded systems because it provides flexibility in system design and allows designers to get more out of their hardware than with single-OS systems. An important feature of virtualization is the ability to partition a system into separate (and secure and isolated if need be) systems. An example of this is illustrated below:
For systems that require high information assurance it's imperative that the high assurance portion of the system is separated from the rest of the system. Making the secure portion of the system smaller and simpler means significantly less development and testing time. In fact, the verification and validation required for certification, such as the Common Criteria, is immense so partitioning in this fashion is critical. For other systems, partitioning is useful in separating safety critical portions from the less important functions. For example, a multi-OS system might partition an RTOS from the General Purpose OS (GPOS) such as Microsoft Windows or Linux. Vulnerabilities and attacks on the GPOS have no impact of the RTOS partition, thus keeping the device operational (see this article I wrote about securing Smart Grid devices using partitioning).
Leveraging component reuse includes more than just reusing your own code in system design, at a higher level it means using existing components that are already secure such as operating systems, embedded virtualization, networking and middleware stack and tools. Commercial-off -the-shelf (COTS) software is an example of component reuse at a high level – a proven way to reduce costs, time to market, and most importantly budget and schedule risks. COTS products that have gone through extensive security testing, validation and certification make for excellent reuse opportunities in device software design. Not only are you not reinventing the wheel you are also leveraging the enhanced security features of these products. We discuss this further in the next blog post.

Interesting article. I guess any type of shock could probably cause PTSD. I have suffered from it for years and it seems to sneak up on me when I am already stressed out. I have heard that the rapid eye movement therapy works really well. Finding someone to help you with it can be hard.

I truly believe cancer can cause PTSD, because I feel that's something I maybe going through almost daily, and if it's not PTSD, then what is it? When you live your life with what's if almost every time you feel a pain, or feel a little weak, or feel that something not going right with you on a certain day, of course the first thing comes to your mind, "is the cancer back, esp when you've gone through it multiple times. You're afraid to go for checkups, blood work, because it may show something is not right and of course your mind goes straight to "the cancer is back. It's in your face daily, first off by viewing the scars from your previous cancer, then you either hear, see or possibly read about it almost everyday. A person who hasn't endued such, will bypass those stories whether it's on television, in a book or hear that someone's diagnosed with it. There will be some that will feel a lil something, some that will feel a lot of something and sad, if they know the person who have just been diagnosed, but there will still be the ones where it won't even bother them, because they haven't been there. They don't know how to feel about it. As cancer survivors, it may frighten some of us a little, it will frighten some of us a lot; esp when you hear that someone didn't survive it as you was able to, and of course you think to yourself, "I may not the next time. See, you're already thinking there may be a next time. Yes, you try to go on with your life as normal as possible, trying to keep busy and be as happy as possible, but not too many days go by, where you don't think of that cancer. It played a Hugh role in your life, so you really have no choice. It's park in a corner of your mind and it stays there. If that's not PTSD, I would surely like to know what is it? But even after all that, I pride myself on being happy, enjoying my life, because I have something to live for, my grand kids! I feel they're my reason for surviving it all.

Announces intent to invest in training of nurses, and other paramedical staff
Home healthcare service sector in India will get a boost of $10 million (over Rs 60 crores), with a leading player in the industry, India Home Health Care announcing an investment to expand its focus in 50 cities. Currently present in the South regions of Hyderabad, Chennai and the silicon valley of India (Bangalore), the company also offers services in Pune and Ahmadabad. The company's founder and director V Thiyagarajan was also quoted in the media recently, saying that the current financial year would see the organisation launching services in Visakhapatnam, Coimbatore and Mysuru, and an institute in Kochi for training nurses and other paramedical workforce to deal with the new-born and mother care.
The home healthcare service provider now aims to service more than 10,000 patients annually, with the expansion in their establishment pan-India, and increase in bouquet of services. Starting its operations in 2009, it targets to increase its presence manifold, to make healthcare accessible to the common man, at the doorstep.
The funds for the expansions are expected to come through cash generated from the existing operations and existing promoters, including US-based Bayada Home Healthcare, which has a stake of 26 per cent in the Indian company.
IHHC offers round-the-clock healthcare services, especially in the interest of senior citizens. The home care center, as a concept is growing in India, wherein patients have the comfort of recovering from a surgery, or palliative care with their family and friends. A chronic condition which requires ongoing care, or certain therapies, might require continuous attention at home. Some assistance with activities of daily living, for those treated recently or still under treatment, can now breathe a sigh of relief with professional healthcare services at their doorstep.
This home-based solution deals with the desired outcome, of dealing with your health in the comfort of your home, or with surrounded by family and friends. Paramedical staff for new born and mother care has come under the direct purview of India Home Health Care, with the company announcing significant portion of their investment in training of paramedical workforce.

About the project
This project is one of six artist and social enterprise collaborations for A Fierce Hope, the keynote exhibition for Brisbane's newest art and cultural hub - Adderton: house & heart of mercy, opening in August 2019.
Blue Jean Sisters' is a project by artist Belinda Smith that responds to the ethical activities of clothing brand Outland Denim - a social enterprise providing sustainable employment and training opportunities for women who have been rescued from human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Modern Slavery effects over 40 million lives in many of the poorest countries and three quarters of this alarming figure are women and girls.
The goal for the installation is to make 2000 dolls, individually handmade. While made from the same pattern and material, every doll will have its own variations in colour and workmanship - each will be individual. The collection of dolls will be installed as a group, allowing the viewer to see the overall quantity as well as observe the individual variations.
It is hoped that people share this project and reflect on the decisions they make about the clothes they wear and how, and by who they are made.
1. Come along to a 'making session' - dates and places will be announced
2. Follow on instagram and DM for a pattern to be sent out and return a made doll
3. Download the pattern from the website and make a doll from some old blue jeans you have at home
Send the doll back for inclusion in an installation as part of A Fierce Hope, the keynote exhibition for Brisbane's newest art and cultural hub Adderton: house & heart of mercy, opening in August 2019.
After the exhibition the dolls will donated to children.

Doll + Denim
The rag-doll is a simple object made for a child by resourceful women out of scraps and rags around the home. Historically it is soft and familiar, made with well used textiles no longer useful. Children project living qualities on to their doll- a friend, confidant, someone to care for - reenacting the mothering, friendship and care they receive from family onto the doll. A rag-doll is a symbol of innocence - it marks the time in a child's life when they are loved and safe. It is used in this project as a symbol of the innocence lost for so many girls in the world.
Denim is a textile connected to the every day. Indigo dyed and hard wearing, the history of denim jeans is first linked to working clothes and then became a symbol of disobedience worn by jail inmates. Over the last few decades jeans have become a staple fashion item of clothing for any wardrobe. Today the demand for denim jeans has meant that the industry has become an exploiter of human labour and environmentally destructive. Outland Denim was founded to change that - using the high demand for jeans to forge social change.

GREAT OCEAN WALK: Day 4
Got started at a positively tardy 6:05am. The best sleep yet, all the way through to about midnight, from which point I woke pretty much on the hour every hour. Allowed myself the luxury of a starter coffee in the shelter as I packed, then I was off into that jet-black night.
Moonset preceded my departure. Spent a while climbing the "Old Coach Road" into the hills, the old, rutted dirt road with its puddles and muddy spots and cow pies and farm gates. Made quite a bit of elevation, with just a couple of distant house lights, the glow of the rumbling breakers meeting the shore far below, and a couple of alarmingly bright lights up above which turned out to be cars swinging round the bend.
I thought about the old days, passengers making this journey — to where? — by horse-drawn vehicle. Then I reached the trees… ~ journal entry
A real dirt road, deserted, gum trees on both sides, a fresh breeze in my face. I enter a kind of rhythmic ghost-walk.
6:50am, first hint of sunrise beyond a far-off ridge:
And it is:
A dozen big sheep lying on the grass, rising apprehensively as I passed while two kookaburras watched on from a fence. Then the best of all as dawn, true dawn, broke out: a pair of wedge-tailed eagles soaring and sailing on the whooshing currents of wind buffeting the hilltops…
For an exhilarating minute the birds swoop and plummet above me, riding the offshore gusts. Turns out they're not merely out for a morning joy-ride:
Wikipedia: As the breeding season approaches, a pair of Wedge-tailed Eagles will…perform dramatic aerobatic display flights together over their territory. Sometimes the male dives down at breakneck speed towards his partner. As he pulls out of his dive and rises just above her on outstreched wings, she either ignores him or turns over to fly upside down, stretching out her talons. The pair may then perform a loop-the-loop.
I enter private land for the descent to the beach:
A glassy ocean, ships inching across Bass Strait:
As I approach Milanesia Beach, a mob of wary kangaroos watches, dispersing into the trees as I get too close for comfort:
An old stone cottage just in from the beach, straight out of some English smuggler's cove. Lace curtains and an unambiguous "PRIVATE" sign: I scurry back to the beach.
A beach that may well be my favourite, anywhere:
Grateful again for my morning start, I roam the sand and rock, examining rock pools and the heaps of flotsam.
I'm sorry to leave, but the next section is described as the toughest on the walk. A steep climb out, a last glance back revealing a pair of distant surfers heading into the swell…
..and then a lot of climbing and descending. The sun struggles to break through the gloom, and the rain pants and wind shirt stay on for most of the morning.
Three or four times I surprise a black wallaby on the path. In seconds they bounce into the undergrowth and vanish.
The construction of steps and staircases of wood and stone is flawless. It's a joy to walk this section:
Lunch and a hot drink in another deserted shelter — this one Ryan's Den, fishing-net floats swaying in the stiff breeze:
The view stretches all the way back to Cape Otway and the tiny splinter that is its lighthouse:
After lunch I headed out into the coldest day yet…
A huge dairy spread, cows evenly spaced on a vast treeless series of green paddocks overlooking the sea at Moonlight Head, an ugly modern farmhouse a jarring addition to the horizon…
Then beautiful stringybark forest again for 4.5km, with tall, slender white gums shooting up from the gullies…
I emerged at The Gable, hungry, spent a while there eating on the lookout platform.
I decided to abandon my planned walk along Wreck Beach as the tide was at its highest; instead it was back on with the gloves and wind shirt and fleece neck-gaiter for a long exposed stretch along dirt roads…
Stopped in at Moonlight Head Cemetery, dating from 1906, for a sombre perusal of the couple of dozen graves in one forlorn corner of a large mowed paddock. Got typically glum looking at the run-down graves of these forgotten people, pioneers of an almost forgotten corner of the world…
After that it was a road-walk for another hour — a fast walk and a muddy, pot-holed road, the Old Coach Road again. Man, they covered some distance on those days…
This sandy goat track is more pothole and puddle than road. Finally, I leave that deserted farmland behind and return to the wind-rounded coastal scrub. A winding track towards the Devil's Kitchen Campsite, and a view of its spectacularly situated privy:
And the view from the toilets:
Nobody else at camp. Again. Another killer day's walking concludes. But missing that stretch of shipwreck-littered beach today is bugging me.
Writing in my journal later, dinner bubbling away, I conclude my account of the day's 28.3km journey:
I dumped my stuff here, set up my tarp in site #7, and started on the long descent to Wreck Beach to see the rusted anchor of the "Fiji". Partway down, however, I changed my mind and came back. I'd done enough walking, seen enough beach for one day.
Back here, I "showered" and cooked and house-kept. And now, for the final time on this amazing little adventure, it's almost time to weave through the wind-battered trees to my little shelter and hopefully a decent several hours of sleep…
~ And that's all the Goat wrote
Next post: Day 5, the conclusion of the G.O.W.

The 8 y.o. has dreamt of New York City for quite some time.
I'm not sure what it is... her mom and I talking about the concrete jungle with buildings that dwarf those in Philly, the only other big city she's ever seen? Pictures in a book? She wrote a story once about a queen who lived in NYC.
Anyway, the time had come. We laid plans, meaning we put a date on the calendar, determined that we'd take the Staten Island Ferry, and beyond that, would meander around Gotham wherever the wind took us. Just the two of us.
The boat was a big hit.
Hopped off the ferry at lunchtime. Where to eat? We were determined to avoid fast food or familiar eating establishments. She saw a menu outside an outdoor cafe, and our search was over. "I want to eat here. I want to eat these." She pointed to raw oysters on the half shell, which she'd never had. She's been trying to be more adventurous with food.
Not her favorite thing, but she got through two of them. The mussels, on the other hand, she tackled like a champ.
A few blocks away was the 9/11 memorial. I tried to explain what had happened here, the Day the Buildings Came Down. One day we'll look at pictures, watch the news footage together.
But by far, the biggest hit of the day was Central Park. Who knew? Climbing on the rocks? Yes, please.
Then off to Bethesda Fountain, one of my favorite spots. Great people watching and big bubbles.
We hoofed it back to Times Square, a place I'm happy to avoid but every kid should see it at least once, and grabbed a New York slice at Michael Scott's favorite pizza joint just because it was close.
Then, back underground to start the journey home. She took to the subway nicely.
My film was too slow to shoot the Brooklyn Bridge at 10pm (you'd think it would be better lit) but no worries. By that time we were beat. At least one of us got to sleep on the 2 hour drive home.
