Renovating is strangely addictive.
On one hand it's expensive, exhausting and can feel like social exclusion but on the other hand it's incredibly rewarding seeing what you can achieve with your money, effort and visions.
The decision to renovate usually isn't one that you jump into without thinking about the pros and cons and every other option out there; do you bulldoze and build? Do you buy new or start in the market with an old gem that needs some polishing? Do you make minor improvements for investment purposes or do you go the whole hog and totally transform a property? What is the market value of homes in your area? How much can you spend without over capitalizing? What is going to increase the value of your property to maximize profits? Can you do the work yourself? How much is it going to cost to employ tradesmen? Can you even be bothered? Have you renovated before?
Decisions, decisions.
My partner bought his first home at 19. It was a little prefab home in a small country town, but it was a foot in the property market door and the repayments were less then paying rent.
It became his Bachelor pad, and if walls could talk they'd be a tale or two to tell.
When he moved to Adelaide the house was rented out and our investment property became our focus. We had big dreams to add value to the house by turning a shed into a granny flat with an en suite and transforming the run down, overgrown backyard into an amazing outside entertaining area with French doors from the lounge room. With no prior renovating experience under our belts we were pretty naive to just how big that task would be but we chipped away and bought our vision to life.
And that is where our love for renovating blossomed.
Well, more to the point, our love/hate relationship.
I'm not going to lie and paint rosy colored pictures of how fun and easy the task of renovating is, because truth be told it's a he'll of a lot of work, but it's the challenge and the trials and tribulations that make you want to go back for more!
So when we moved back to the country after the big city life we had some decisions to make; do we renovate or do we bulldoze and build on the little piece of land with a broken down house that Mick had bought many moons ago?
It wasn't an easy decision.
We had builders come and inspect the property who estimated that the changes that we wanted to make would cost in excess of $80000 for labor and materials.
While the loan is relatively small for the property market meaning that we have room to spend without over capitalizing $80000 is a hell of a lot of money!
So then we were left scratching our heads wondering if we should simplify our plans to renovate, bulldoze or DIY.
My husband happens to be super handy and has a trade in metal fabrication which meant that he felt comfortable replacing major structures with metal and building the shed, verandah and extensions himself.
Knowing that we could do the majority of the work ourselves, in our own time swayed our decision to give renovating a crack without blowing out our budget.
Our plans include knocking out a wall and chimney between the kitchen and lounge room to create an open living area, installing byfold doors to continue this area into an outdoor entertaining space, turning the existing bathroom into a passage way and transforming a little outside bedroom space into the main bathroom that will double as an en suite for the main bedroom.
Our plans also include a new kitchen, build in wardrobes and a shed.
At the moment we have submitted the measurements for a shed and verandah for architects to design our vision so that we can submit them for council approval.
We're both excited to be taking on the renovation challenge again, and to transform our little shack into a rustic, industrial themed home, with red gum timber from the farm, open planned living and an entertaining area that will have many tales to tell in the future.
We can't wait to have a home that we're proud of and that we can fill with laughter and children!
Join us on our renovating adventure.
Here are some images of the challenges that lie ahead!

Note: This guide is not a direct rule to follow and players can train their crew according to their personal preferences, selecting perks and crew skills to their favoured tactics. This configuration is provided as an example of how the crew skills and perks can be used on various vehicle types.
General Skills and Perks
Besides various skills and perks, a player should also not neglect crucial basic skills, such as repair and camouflage, elements which are vital for about a half of all in-game vehicles.
Please note that if one of two crew members with same qualifications have one perk (or skill), then the more researched one will prevail. Thus, if you have 2 loaders or radio operators, it is better to train different skills or perks (except for repair, camouflage, firefighting, intuition and brother-in-arms).
In fact, it's hard to give advice on what skills or perks should be applied to a certain tank, as each player has his/her own tactics and even the gun selection can provoke arguments. It's much harder when it comes to skills and perks. The only rule to follow is to think carefully before you train the crew: determine which skills are necessary for the vehicle, plan the training perspectives, and follow the chosen combat tactics in game. Read comments on forums, watch VODs and check up other sources with useful advice.

The recalculation of poverty lines almost always invokes criticism from sections of the society which feel that the new poverty line is still below an unsaid mental mark. Such criticisms are often perception based and devoid of any calculated logical arguments. Logical reasoning does, indeed, argue that high poverty lines are often the anti-thesis of upliftment of the poor.
It is of absolute necessity that, at the start of this article, the concept of poverty be defined. Many Liberals continue to believe that poverty is simply the inability to earn more than $1 a day, irrespective of any other factors. This approach ignores the multi-dimensional aspect of poverty. Poverty is not merely the lack of attainment of a monetary income level. As a concept, it is much more complex. Poverty needs to be defined as the deprivation of many human needs and attributes. This depravity can be in the field of food or access to it, education or access to it and health or access to it. Any non-fulfilment of these and other basic human needs should be understood as poverty. This idea can then be further categorised into absolute and relative poverty depending upon the severity of depravation.
Attempts to associate poverty with a minimum standard of living are unfair as a minimum standard of living implies that all the conditions that constitute a living standard have been met. For instance, if school education is associated with a minimum standard of living. this would vitiate the analytics since a very substandard school education can also be classified as fulfilling a minimum standard of living.
Thus poverty does not imply any living standard. It, in fact, implies the failure to achieve any living standard as a living standard stipulates basic access to all human needs in the term 'living' standards itself.
After having established the definition of poverty, the idea of poverty lines needs to be better understood. Poverty lines simply indicate the level below which depravity is most likely to exist. This should not be construed as the ultimate indicator of poverty since, as mentioned above, poverty is multi-dimensional. However, it should be read as an indicator of the level below which the fulfillment of basic human needs is the least likely to happen. Hence, they are often calculated through a series of complex equations with adequate inputs related to the prices of various baskets of goods which are considered to be basic to human needs.
The Liberal view gets it wrong by applying the income data for one individual to an entire family. Rarely does any individual rich or poor live alone. He lives in a family and it is the individual poverty line multiplied by the number of people in a family that results in a poor or non-poor classification. Hence, the poverty line ends up being a high number instead of being a low number. At the same time, families often classified by them below the poverty threshold are usually unable to afford housing and live in temporary settlements which brings us back to the definition of poverty as a deprivation of any basic human need, with shelter being a basic human need. Many families living above this absolute poverty also have housing issues. However, rarely has any economic literature in this field highlighted a correlation between such families and legal housing. Often such families live in illegal structures. Only a few have legal rented accommodation. Even the latter situation would be covered by the fact that poverty is about depravation and not a minimum standard of living.
The dogma behind having higher poverty line levels also fails to take into account many other factors. Social welfare spending might skyrocket resulting in a severe deficit and economic crisis if more people are included in the welfare schemes of an already over-exhausted welfare economy. This argument is often countered by ideas like rationalisation of expenditure i.e. lesser amounts being spent on the army among others. Such ideas are often not well thought out or not articulated well. Sustaining high welfare spending by reducing military spending is irrational for the simple fact that the security cover required by the state for law and order to be maintained and the economy to function would be lost. An economy will never run smoothly and do well if law and order is not maintained. The economies of countries which are facing revolutions in the middle-east are the classic example for this.
The concept of greater aid from the international community often constitutes critical chunks of the argument favoring heavy welfare expenditure. However, international aid must neither be considered to be sustainable nor beneficial for the economy as it may put off international investors by painting a poor human resource or development picture of the country and thereby depriving the country of critical investments and employment opportunities which are more likely to provide a sustainable platform to lift the populace out of poverty.
Besides this argument of government spending, the concept of bank lending can also be introduced into the series of consequences of having a higher poverty line. India follows a system of priority sector lending with the banks being mandated to give out a significant portion of their lending amounts to priority sectors like agriculture which also employs almost 50% of the total Indian labour force. There obviously exists a massive competition to get loans and credit from the bank in these priority sectors. Banks need to be rational in their approach to lending and grant credit only to those individuals who are the most likely to repay the loan with interest.
Consequently, variables like poverty line are critical as they can influence the bank, decision to deny or grant credit to individuals. Banks are more likely to provide credit to individuals just above the poverty line with no assets than an individual just below the poverty line with no assets, for the simple reason that the vague assertion of being above the poverty line is the closest indicator of financial status in priority sectors like agriculture where the income is never fixed. Therefore, higher the poverty line and higher the number of people considered less financially able, lower would be the likelihood of them getting loans from banks to improve and develop their business. Thus, even the self-employment industry is negatively affected by high poverty lines.
Thus, while one can counter the popular arguments offered by Liberals who support greater welfare and subsidies, the concept of poverty lines is undeniable. Poverty lines are essential for the effective functioning of many government and private sector programs. What we need to avoid is the dogma of high poverty lines which is often mistakenly considered to help people more than create disadvantages for them.

On the 29th of April, Abkhazian Minister of Defence Mirab Kishmaria announced during a press conference that a number of very high ranking officers of the Abkhazian army had been dismissed from active service into the reserve forces. The list includes Col. Gen. Anatoli Zaitsev, who is Chief of the General Staff and Deputy Defence Minister, Maj. Gen. Garri Kupalba, who is also a Deputy Defence Minister, Maj. Gen. Zakan Nanba, Maj. Gen. Slava Ankvab, Maj. Gen. Aleksandr Melnik and the Colonels Dmitri Sokolov, Aleksandr Antipov, Anatoli Gorbunov, Zaur Adleiba, Ruslan Chokua and Nodar Kakubava
Even though Kishmaria claimed that these dismissals were due to old age and in line with army regulations, it is rather curious that old age should strike so many high army officers at the same time. No wonder then that some Georgian analysts instead see a purge.
Giorgi Tsiklauri of expertclub.ge claims that a chain of events was set off when President Sergei Bagapsh fired Anatoli Zaitsev, allegedly because his driver and members of his security team had robbed a gas station – but Tsiklauri does not believe this. Instead, he thinks that Bagapsh wanted to get rid of Zaitsev because the latter was perceived as a minder from the Russian army. In retaliation then, Russia forced Bagapsh to dismiss the other officers, and to replace them by Russians in the near future.
But on the 4th of April, EurasiaNet's weblog The Bug Pit cited the Georgian newspaper 24 Saati with a different theory: that Zaitsev and the other involved officers had been dismissed by Kishmaria because they were all informers for Russia. 24 Saati sees confirmation for this in the fact that Kishmaria himself has not lost his position.
Due to a lack of further information it is unclear which explanation is correct. But in principle, it should not be too hard to establish, provided certain question can be answered. Did Zaitsev's men really rob a gas station? Were the other officers Zaitsev's men or not? – unless I am mistaken, at least Ankvab, Kupalba, Nanba, Adleiba and Chokua are all Abkhaz names. And perhaps most tellingly, whom will they be replaced by?

On May 3, the 2018 Spotlight on Learning Conference featured dozens of local experts on topics related to teaching in challenging times. Around 145 attendees from across the University enjoyed concurrent presentations, panels, roundtables, open discussions, and breakout sessions.
"Across our campuses, we see inspiring examples of OHIO faculty who demonstrate commitment to continuous learning and enhanced teaching methods," said Elizabeth Sayrs, interim executive vice president and provost. "I enjoy this conference because it provides an opportunity for faculty to learn together and share best practices for managing a changing learning landscape."
Co-sponsored by the Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (TLA) Committee, and the Office of Instructional Innovation (OII), the conference included 13 sessions on topics from freedom of expression in the classroom to the influence of restrictive technology policies on students.
This year's opening session featured a panel of OHIO faculty discussing strategies for managing difficult conversations or circumstances that arise through classroom discussions. They talked about their hopes and fears on days when they knew they would be addressing potentially controversial material with their students.
"The opening panel provided me with an opportunity to connect with my colleagues on a topic that I normally don't discuss outside my own field," said Geneva Murray, panelist participant and director of the Women's Center in the Office for Diversity and Inclusion. "Hearing what others are doing inspires me to keep thinking differently and keep improving as an instructor."
There also were ongoing opportunities available throughout the day, including workshops on Open Educational Resources as part of the University's partnership with Top Hat, a display of artifacts that came out of the Academic Quality Improvement Program Strategy Forum, and open consultations with OII's instructional designers to discuss course design and redesign services.
"I really enjoyed attending this year's conference. The dialogues were necessary and refreshing on our campus," said Catherine Cutcher, assistant director for the Global Studies Programs in the Center for International Studies. "I learned new strategies for facilitating critical dialogues and unpacking controversy in the classroom. We also shared best practices for balancing freedom of expression with concerns about diversity, inclusion, access, equity, and safety."
OII and others live-tweeted throughout the day's events. View a compiled Twitter Moment of tweets related to the conference.
After another successful event this year, the TLA Committee and OII look forward to future conferences. "The continued dialogue about teaching and learning stemming from the Spotlight on Learning Conference is critical to advancing our mission of helping students go through life-changing educational experiences," said Scott Titsworth, co-chair of the TLA Committee and Dean of the Scripps College of Communication. "This conference is a galvanizing opportunity for faculty across all of Ohio University's campuses to learn from each other in ways that have a potentially transformative impact."
The Office of Instructional Innovation (OII) serves as a catalyst to spark bold experimentation and sustainable discovery of innovative instructional models that fulfill the University's promise of a transformative educational experience. OII provides a variety of services to faculty, staff, and students in support of academic units and online programs, as well as to advance initiatives to further the institution's mission.

It's been a big week for top prospects in the Yankees minor league system, as four top prospects received their first taste of "The Show." Shortstop prospect Tyler Wade received the call before Tuesday's game. Third baseman Miguel Andujar earned two call-ups this week; he played one game Thursday, and was both recalled and sent down before playing another game. Outfielder Dustin Fowler joined the Yankees for Friday's game, but tragically suffered a knee injury in the field before he could complete his first at-bat, eliciting a comparison to former Giants outfielder and "Field of Dreams" character Moonlight Graham. As Fowler is expected to miss the remainder of the season, that opened up an opportunity for outfielder Clint Frazier, one of the Yankees' most exciting prospects. The future has come much quicker than expected to the Bronx.
Fortunately for the Yankees, however, more reinforcements are coming in the years ahead. Two Yankees prospects, pitcher Domingo Acevedo and outfielder Estevan Florial, both coincidentally profiled in last week's Yankees minor league update, were named to the Team World roster of the MLB Futures Game, which will be played Sunday in Miami. Acevedo, who can regularly touch 100 miles per hour with his fastball, is just one of many exciting, hard-throwing arms in the Yankees minor league system. Here are three other fireballers you should keep an eye on down the road:
Dillon Tate- RHP- Tampa (A-Advanced)- Tate started his season just two weeks ago after spending the first half of the season in extended spring training, but has not shown any sort of rust, allowing just three runs and fanning 21 batters in just 18 1/3 innings. The Yankees have exercised some patience with Tate, a 2015 1st-round pick of the Rangers acquired in last summer's trade for Carlos Beltran, but the 23-year-old is increasingly proving that the Yankees took a worthwhile gamble on him. There was reason to doubt Tate after he struggled in low-A last year, pitching to a 5.12 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP before the Yankees acquired him. Nevertheless, the wiry 6'2″ right-hander has been cruising through his first taste of High-A. He still flashes a lot of the same potential that warranted selecting him with the 4th overall pick, as his fastball can jump into the high-90s at times and he mixes in a sharp slider and an occasional changeup. Considering that his control is also improving, as he walked just three batters, it remains possible that Tate could jump to Trenton before the end of the summer.
Freicer Perez- RHP- Charleston (A)– The 21-year-old Perez signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2014 for just $10,000, but is turning out to be a "diamond in the rough" for the Yankees. A tall, lanky 6'8″ righty, Perez lights up the radar gun, with his fastball clocking in as high as 99 miles per hour. He has had his share of control issues, including last year with Staten Island when he issued 25 free passes in 52 1/3 innings. This season, however, Perez has curbed the issue somewhat, with just 23 walks in 64 1/3 innings for the RiverDogs. In that same span, he has struck out 56 batters and pitched to a 3.22 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. In his most recent start Tuesday, he went six innings, allowing four hits and two runs while striking out seven. In an encouraging sign for his control issue, Perez did not issue a single walk. Perez may move a little more slowly than an older, more proven prospect like Tate, but as a pitcher who can approach 100 miles per hour with a fastball and who is not incredibly wild, he may have possible upside as a reliever if he cannot hold his own in the rotation.
Jorge Guzman-RHP- Staten Island (Short-Season A)– Guzman has perhaps the most electric fastball in the entire Yankees minor league system. His slower fastballs clock in at 97 miles per hour and he can touch 103 on the radar gun. Control has been an issue for the flamethrowing Guzman since he turned professional, but the righty, acquired in last November's trade with the Astros for Brian McCann, has shown signs of turning a corner since joining the Yankees organization. In a start last Monday, Guzman threw six shutout innings, allowing just two hits and punching out seven hitters. He allowed two walks, but has been pretty dominant in the New York-Penn League so far, pitching to a 2.45 ERA, a 0.82 WHIP, and striking out a batter per inning. Barry Bloom at MLB.com wrote a substantial piece about Guzman and the Baby Bombers, which would be recommended reading for anyone interested in even more info on the 21-year-old Dominican. The piece included details from team manager Julio Mosquera, who noted that Guzman is using his breaking ball more often and gaining confidence in his off-speed offerings. If he can keep executing on the mound and shows the ability to mix in off-speed pitches with his high heat, he should be able to move quickly through the Yankees' system.

Revamp an old headboard with a fun, photo-motif fabric. Choose a modern design unusual enough to take pride of place in a minimal bedroom. Because you're only covering a headboard, the outlay for fabric shouldn't be big. Paint walls white to let the fabric print stand out and lift the look with a touch of lime using two citrus cushions and curtains. Dress the bed with plain linen to continue the white scheme.
Don't feel defeated before you even start. Sometimes it can be overwhelming and you do not know where to start. Here are seven guidelines you cannot go wrong with. You do not have to be a professional to use these tips. Once you try it you will see how easy it really is. Throughout this article there are bedroom ideas that you can use as inspiration.

Cannes News: Everbody Knows, The Poster Unveils, and Netflix Whines
It's still wintry here in NYC (groan) but Spring technically arrived a little while ago which means that the Cannes film festival is right around the corner. Here are three pieces of news involving the festival which will run from May 8th to May 19th.
The Poster
This year's poster, pictured above, is a quad rather than a horizontal for some reason. Usually they come in both formats or are just horizontal. It's based on the work of stills photographer Georges Pierre and the Jean Luc Godard film Pierrot Le Fou (1965). That's two posters based on Godard films in fairly quick succession. Last year's poster featured 1960s Italian sex symbol Claudia Cardinale but the year before that the poster was in tribute to Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt (1963)! 'Maybe Cannes ought to look beyond the 1960s and Godard sometime soon?,' he suggested with ribbing affection.

Conservation laws and theorems of confinement and stability for a charged equatorial disk in a pulsar magnetosphere
CEA/DSM/DAPNIA, Service d'Astrophysique (CNRS FRE 2591), CE Saclay, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex, France e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Accepted: 14 December 2004
For studying the nonaxisymmetric stability of the bounded electrosphere of an "aligned pulsar" (Michel's structure with polar domes and equatorial belt), Pétri et al. (2002) recently introduced a simplified but useful model in which all the charge-separated plasma located outside the magnetized rotating star is concentrated into a thin equatorial disk. In this paper, some aspects of this model are investigated analytically. It is shown that the equations governing the behaviour of the disk – in the case where there are no sources of particles feeding it – imply a series of conservation laws (for energy, angular momentum,...), and that there is a non-canonical Hamiltonian structure hidden behind them. The conservation laws are used to prove that: (i) for any initial conditions imposed on the disk, its evolution cannot lead to charges escaping to infinity (confinement theorem); (ii) a disk steady state with a possibly rotating pattern is nonlinearly stable if the charge density per unit of magnetic flux is a decreasing function of the electrostatic potential in the rotating frame (stability theorem).

Art journey update
I almost forgot...I bought 3 painting guide books last weekend. One on watercolor, one on oil and one on drawing and sketching. Couldn't find one on acrylic, but I think these books will be a great help to me. I am eager to learn some techniques and really try hard to teach myself to become a good artist. This experience has been great so far. It has opened my eyes to see everything with a keener interest and with purposeful examination. I feel my eyes opening to everything. Somewhat similar to the day I put on contact lenses for the first time, ( I was 16 then.) and was able to see everything clearer and brighter. Wow! I literally gasped! I was shocked to discover how much I was unable to see all those years before. : ) May

Portrait of a friend
Today, I painted a portrait of my friend Lee. I tilted her head down a bit and brushed back the hair to reveal more of the left eye. I've never actually painted a "real" person before, so this is a real challenge. I started with a pencil sketch on a 5" x 7", 140 lb. coldpress watercolor paper. Using diluted acrylic paints, I was able to get a watercolor effect. Since I painted from a photo on my computer monitor, I had to keep turning to my left to look at the monitor, and turning back to the picture to paint it. That was a bit tough, particularly because I've been suffering from back and neck spasms lately. But in the end, I'm very pleased with the results, and I did it all in one day! Whew! This is my artistic interpretation of a dear friend, and I wanted to capture the sparkle in her eyes and a soft peaceful expression. I thought she looks like an angel in this portrait! Not too bad for a first "real person" portrait right?

A most unusual bird!
I going to tell you something very silly! Last night, I decided to do one last picture before going to bed. Since I had the idea in my head, I wanted to put it down on paper before it slips out of my memory forever. I made myself comfortable with a couple of pillows so I can prop my head up a bit. First I sketched a big tree branch with a few simple lines. I proceded to sketch a fairy, and then a bird. And now for the really silly thing that happened. OK, I drew the bird's body, drew its eyes, and everything was fine. Then sometime after sketching the bird's eyes, my brain must have turned off completely. However, I continued sketching, and even erasing somehow. That went on for a little while. And then, all of a sudden, I was "back"! And to my horror, my bird ended up with a nose, lips and some funny whispy hair. It was truly hysterical! I just brust out laughing even though I wasn't fully awake. This bird already has such a funny scarcastic expression in the eyes. And with the hair, nose and lips...my goodness! It was quite a sight. Hmm....Now I regretted erasing it, or I can show you what it looks like . You will have a good laugh too!

Yuk's Last Laugh
Tim Parks
- Flaubert by Michel Winock, translated by Nicholas Elliott
Harvard, 528 pp, £25.00, October 2016, ISBN 978 0 674 73795 2
'The good man's home is a mask,' Gustave Flaubert wrote when he was 16. Every ideal was a cover for vanity. How could it be otherwise, when our bodies were 'composed of mud and shit and equipped with instincts lower than those of the pig, or the crab-louse'? Born in 1821 to a wealthy family and growing up in the cautious conservatism of provincial post-Napoleonic France, Flaubert saw only hypocrisy and intellectual dullness all around him. At 17 he was condemning 'this good civilisation, this agreeable slut who invented railroads, poisons, clyster pumps, custard pies, royalty and the guillotine'. 'If I ever do take an active part in the world,' he concluded, as if he were far more likely to decide not to, 'it will be as a thinker and demoraliser.'
In his new biography, Michel Winock is inclined to dismiss this as juvenile posturing, yet his generous quotation from notes and letters written throughout Flaubert's life shows a remarkable continuity of attitude. From infancy to death Flaubert would condemn the world in much the same terms. Anything that appeared 'good' was the product of a stifling adhesion to received ideas. The only future that society could offer was to be 'just like anyone else … a lawyer, a doctor, a sub-prefect, a notary, an attorney, a common judge, a stupidity like every other stupidity'. The appropriate response was mockery. With his friends, the adolescent Flaubert invented an imaginary character, Garçon, who laughed wildly at every propriety. Garçon would soon be followed by the god Yuk, who appears in a story Flaubert wrote at 18 and laughs at the world with a 'Homeric', 'inextinguishable' laughter. Later there would be other derisive voices: the Old Sheik was invented on a trip to the Middle East; later still there was the Reverend Father Cruchard of the Barnabites, 'spiritual director of the Ladies of Disillusion'. All these figures, like the wonderfully funny Dictionary of Received Ideas (published posthumously), allowed Flaubert to assume a position that involved neither dull goodness, nor mere transgression, but intellectual ridicule of bourgeois society across the board. Curiously, irreverence coincided with moral superiority: 'I call bourgeois,' Flaubert explained, 'anyone who thinks in a base manner.' It also offered relief from the boredom that would be his eternal enemy. One was bored because there was no way to engage positively with society, no project that would give life meaning and scope. 'Why,' he asks, 'is man's heart so big and life so small?'
Recounting Flaubert's youthful despair and talk of 'the inconvenience of being born', Winock wonders again if it wasn't all 'a pose'. Gustave was handsome and healthy, well-off and educated, with good friends who loved him because he made them laugh. But if we deny the healthy and wealthy their melancholy we will have to dispense with half of literature. The question we might ask instead is: how did this privileged young man come to feel there was no role for him in the world? Why did he desire to be good, yet equate goodness with stupidity? Why did he head for the brothel, but sometimes hang back, sublimating his sex drive in lingering observation of the prostitutes? Above all, in what relation does this behaviour stand to the wonderful books he gave us? Of the first time he had sex, he wrote: 'A woman presented herself before me, I took her; and I came out of her arms full of disgust and bitterness.' Of an encounter in a Marseille hotel, aged 20, he complained: 'Oh! Flesh, flesh! A demon who … tears the book out of your hands and the gaiety out of your heart, makes you dark, fierce, egotistical.' If goodness was dull, sin was no solution. Only books offered gaiety and stability. 'What a pleasure it is to compose!' he remarked, at 14.
The words 'good' and 'intelligent' come together just once in Winock's biography, when Flaubert describes his father, Achille-Cléophas Flaubert, one of France's leading doctors and chief surgeon at a hospital in Rouen. Dr Flaubert was learned, competent and generous to his poorer patients. His son loved and admired him: he was 'extremely humane … yet this didn't impair his efficiency as a surgeon.' In short, there was nothing false or laughable in him. At 27, Achille-Cléophas had married the 18-year-old Anne-Justine-Caroline and immediately produced a son, Achille, who, as his name foretold, was to follow in his father's footsteps. After Achille, however, there were three children who all died shortly after birth, so that Gustave was born eight years after his brother and would always be more attached to his sister, Caroline, born another three years later. It's strange that in this admirably documented biography Winock does not reflect on the special position of the child who survives after three siblings have died. One can imagine if nothing else that he was indulged by his parents; certainly he remained closely attached to his mother, living most of his life with her. What Winock does describe well is Gustave's childhood, when the family lived in a wing of the hospital where his father worked, and the boy and his sister would look in through an open window as the great doctor performed post-mortems, becoming precociously aware of the body's messy inner organs, its fragility, death. 'I can still see my father looking up from his dissection and telling us to go away,' he wrote many years later.
In this family of free-thinkers, the competent physician was the good man par excellence. So why didn't Gustave study medicine? Was it because this path to self-realisation was already occupied by the dour Achille? Or was it, as Sartre claimed in The Family Idiot, because Flaubert Senior thought the boy unworthy? Winock doesn't tackle the question. In any event, it was decided that the second son must accept a lesser destiny and become a lawyer. Those were father's orders; the problem was that Gustave thought of the lawyer's life as 'completely materialistic, trivial'. He was expelled from school. He failed exams. Yet he couldn't contemplate disobeying his 'good, intelligent' father. His two years at law school in Paris were spent oscillating between the penitential tedium of preparing for a profession he had no desire to practise and a busy social life where, with 'his golden-blond beard, his enormous sea-green eyes … his voice resounding like a trumpet, his exaggerated gestures and ringing laugh', as one friend described him, he was the soul of every party.

Saturday Dress-ups
Inspiration everywhere I look! I just love visiting all the delicious blogs out there and soaking up all the artistic goodness. I was much inspired (as I always am) by Vanessa over at the magical http://afancifultwist.typepad.com/ She did a post that prompted me to straighten up my little corner of my world, and delight in all the little things that make me smile. And of course tidying up in dress-ups always makes the job that more fun! I picked my dressing table up many years ago at a local op-shop (I think overseas you call them thrift stores) for a song...I love it! It holds all my jewellery (I love costume jewellery and semi-precious stones rather than the 'real stuff').
As I was straightening up, I remembered a similar dressing table we had when I was very young, and I loved it...isn't it funny how our memories store these little snippets of goodness?
This dressing table set was given to me by my mother - it was her nana's (my great grandmother) so it is very precious to me...
The little cards tied up in a bow are ones I got when I turned 40, 3 years ago now...I am such a magpie, and hold onto things, just like my mother.
Here is a peek inside my silver jewellery box....a gift from my man a couple of Christmases ago... the string of pearls were given to me by my mum and dad when I finished high school.
In my playful mood, I decided to take my wedding dress down from the top shelf of my wardrobe and put it on my mannequin...it really is a fairytale dress...I had my wedding bouquet made at a florist, but when they delivered it, I hated the formality of it, so my beautiful bridesmaid and best friend Wendy http://www.wendyrule.com/ jumped in her car and went to the local shop and bought some long-stemmed roses and 'threw' them together into an informal arrangement - much nicer...please check out her website, she is an amazing singer/songwriter, who also happens to be a witch...she made me the little bag hanging on my dressing-table from material that was used to make my wedding dress - in it I keep my tarot cards. Here she is looking decadently outrageous at her 40th masquerade party - a most extravagant affair!
The painting of the nude tucked into the top of the dress was done by my beautiful niece, and given to me on my 40th birthday, with some heartfelt words inside - these things are very special to me...
Straightening up the bookshelf, I found more yummy inspiration! Have you guessed that I love fairies? (Never really grew up)...I love all of these delicious books.
I would also like to thank Celia at http://adventuresofthestripedstockings.blogspot.com/ for bestowing upon me a lovely award. I get kind of get embarrassed with these but I do want to acknowledge it and let her know I am honored.
I am supposed to sum up in 5 words the motivation,philosophy and experience behind my blog. Suffice to say that I came up with this... "Getting the creative juices flowing".
I hope that you have enjoyed a little peek into my world...and a glimpse at the things that are very close to my heart. I will leave you with a little taste of Wendy - enjoy x

text: I went to the AT&T store this morning and got a 16 gig phone after a 4 hour wait. The store said that they were not setup to activate it. So being on vacation, I thought that I would just go back to my hotel and activate it. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. So now since they deactivated my other phone, and I cannot get online with iTunes, I have no phone at all. Problem is that this is my work phone and I missed a days worth of sales and contact with my company. Several days I predicted that something like this would happen. Well I should have taken my own bet. GRRRRRRRRR. I have to have a phone or I cannot make a living and I am on vacation 6 hours from my office. Way to go Steve!!!

It was bright and sunny when I woke up on the eighth day of the Trans Himalayan Expedition. It had been a most unusual night when I slept sitting in the car. By 8.30 am a new set of crew joined and started in the direction of the Ford garage. They had instructions from the Ford On Road team. But there was so much of confusion that at one point they parked on the main road and refused to move saying that they would go to Haldwani. It was most exasperating as precious time was being wasted. It was indeed tedious talking to the On Road team as personnel would change and one had to start 'educating' the new person of the issue at hand. Finally, the truck crew got instructions to go to the Bhagat Ford repair garage. They told me that they knew where exactly it was located. On the way I saw the Bhagat Ford dealership and told them that that would possibly be the place to go to. They refused to listen to me and went through some God forsaken roads to reach the garage where it transpired that the garage handled only body works. It took another half hour to get to the dealership. The truck was parked outside the dealership to confirm if that was the place to offload the car. I went into the dealership and met TrilokDhumka and referred to the Ford On Road service. He mentioned that they had indeed spoken to him and he was aware of the requirement. He gathered his young team and got the car off the truck into the garage. There were some tense moments as the car was being off loaded when I feared that the car would slip off the truck and suffer further damage. Anyway that did not happen.
I was asked to wait for the initial assessment of the damage and the requirement of spare parts. The CEO of the dealership, Gopeshwar Sharma, assured me that he would do his best. In less than an hour a thorough investigation was done. Most of the items required for the repair were available at the dealership. One set of leaf springs had suffered breakage. Sharma wanted to get the springs replaced because my intension was to continue the expedition. He said that he would have clamped the springs and permitted me to go back to Cochin at reduced speed. The springs had to be brought in from their dealership in Ludhiana, which would take an additional day. I confirmed that body works need be done only to make the Champion road worthy. Sharma also assured me that he would give me maximum discounts through the Ford network. Thus, the prognosis was that the car would be ready by late evening tomorrow, which meant that I would be able to continue the expedition the day after. Loss of two days. That would also give me time to explore options and check on the situation in Nepal. Sharma also helped me to get a room in the Sofitel Hotel that was close by. The Hotel also gave me a discount being a Ford customer. The hotel was very comfortable and the service excellent.
After checking into the hotel I rested for some time. After a wash and laundry I ventured to a mall in the vicinity. I got my glasses repaired in one of the shops and lounged around for a while before getting back to the hotel to get up to speed on the social media. I did not want alarm bells ringing all over and hence, did not disclose the major accident in which I could have even lost my life. I had come close to that given how close the car had been to the edge of the gorge.
There was more adverse news from Nepal. It became clear that the Mahendranagar entry into Nepal is certainly a no go, given the current political condition in that country. My contact said that he would explore the options of entering Nepal through Ruxaul or Pashupatinagar. I had another day to take further decisions on rerouting. I would also have to check with Limca Book of Records about the implications of rerouting as far as the record is concerned.

text: January 7, 2014 at 6:00 AM Affordable housing in Seattle just as important as minimum wage Posted by Thanh Tan Seattle Mayor Ed Murray chose to make a $15 minimum wage for city employees the topic of his first official press conference last Friday, but he also reiterated that increasing wages alone won't fix the city's affordability problem. Seattle Mayor Ed Murray conducts his first press conference. His main topic was implementing a $15/hour minimum pay for all City of Seattle employees. (Photo by Greg Gilbert/The Seattle Times) Murray said education and housing are two other issues that must be dealt with if Seattle is to remain a place where people from diverse backgrounds and income levels can work and live. He's right. For now, let's single out the housing part. In case you missed it, The Seattle Times editorial pages featured a special section on affordable housing last month. Read those op-eds here. In November, our board called on city leaders to develop a coherent strategy to fix the housing shortage. Since then, Seattle Times reporter Sanjay Bhatt reports rent increases may be stabilizing, but not by much. And most of the housing stock that's available is out of reach for low and middle-wage workers. Remember, affordable housing generally means the cost of utilities and shelter should not exceed 30 percent of household income. Here's a link to the city's wait list for subsidized housing, which is perennially long and can last years. Many lower-middle class workers don't quality for assistance. Thousands more remain homeless, including hundreds of families with children. If we know the city of Seattle needs more shelter and housing, how do we pay for it? New and existing developments rely heavily on federal funds, the Seattle Housing Levy (which is up for renewal in 2016) and the state's Housing Trust Fund. The new mayor and City Council's challenge is to develop policies that will stretch those limited dollars further. More Comments | Topics: affordable housing, minimum wage, Seattle

|I picture this being the Lord of Misrule
The play "Twelfth Night" originates in fun. It is about seizing the pleasures of life where ever we may find them. It is about enjoying life before we run out of whatever time we have. The play represents the last party, the last good time before heading back into the grind. As the "Twelfth Night" implies it is the last night of the holiday, the last day of The Lord of Misrule's reign. My time here in Europe is flying by! I'm already starting my fourth week and it isn't going any slower. I'm on the brink of traveling to Scotland, Belgium, Paris, Netherlands, and Wales (and hopefully Dorset very soon). There will be plenty of life to grasp before I go back to America and I intend to grasp all of it. This adventure is by no means the last great adventure of my life, but it may be the last great adventure of my youth (or maybe the first of my adult life). But, for what its worth, I'm happy to be here now. I may in fact be the happiest I've ever been. From now until the "twelfth night" of my adventure, I hope I can continue to say the same thing.
|Trying to grasp the experience in a literal sense. Unfortunately my arms were not long enough in this case. I'll just stick to the figurative grasping.
|Me with a dolphin, it pretty much is what it is.
Ok, now on to what I'm doing, enough with the philosophical jibber jabber. Last time we saw our hero he was celebrating his flatmate's birthday and pondering the meaning of family and friendship amongst his fellow students. Today we find him pondering his future upcoming adventures and his trip to Brighton.
|Enjoying some reading in Brighton.
So, last Saturday we all jumped on the train and headed to Brighton. Brighton is a major port city in the UK. We first visited the Royal Pavilion where King George IV spent most of his young life. Queen Victoria even spent some time there. The palace was unbelievable. Because of the unique architecture (based on architecture from India) it is very difficult to up keep the palace (construction began in the 1780s) in Brighton. Nevertheless, the inside of the palace is awe-inspiring. The banquet hall was my favorite. It seems like a pretty great place to hold some dinners with some of my favorite people (that's you guys!).
|It would be a bit awkward trying to have a conversation with someone on the other end. I imagine long tables like these are what started cliques.
From the palace we went to the Brighton Pier, where we had world famous fish and chips (I also had mushy peas!). Based on the pictures I am sure you can tell what I thought about fish and chips.
From there, we went to the shore. We decided to touch the water. Some of us touched it a bit more than others, me included. I accidentally sort of jumped in, my feet were a bit wet after that. It was nothing compared to the Narragansett Polar Plunges though. After that we saw some of the shops and then headed back to London.
|Ready for a small swim on such a warm and sunny day.
The rest of the weekend has been pretty relaxed. On Sunday I went to Sainsbury's in Holborn Circus and bought a sandwich, an apple and some water and sat in a local park next to a church and ate. It was the first time I had really taken to just sit and relax and think quietly. I really appreciate my time doing that. Not a bad Sunday ritual I guess.
This morning I went to Cardinal Pole Secondary School with my district director from London Citizens, Sebastien, to have a talk with the students there. Seb has been going there for the past three weeks and goes every week. I'm going to do my best to go weekly with him! We talk to the students in the class for about an hour and work with them on how they can make a positive impact in the community. Today I worked with a very bright group of kids who I'm going to work on the TESCO campaign with!
As exciting as it was to work with these students, it was quite humbling to see the condition of the school and the status of many of the children. It reminded me a lot of when I would go into Willimantic when I was young for school exchanges. The school in Hackney is one of the poorest in the city and it shows. I saw two kids beating up another one, just to take his drum sticks. Unfortunately there is nothing you can really do except hope that the staff can break it up. Many of these students don't need to hear us lecture what it is like for these people to live with a wage under the living wage (7.85) because many of their parents make less than that, if they have parents for that matter. Hopefully my work in the East Hartford Schools will help me manage these kids. Although interestingly enough I had no problem getting their full attention; maybe it was the accent!
After that I had my first full english breakfast at a local diner near the school and then headed back here to the flat to write this. In about five days I am going to be leaving for Scotland. I'm sure I'll get in another post before then.
I miss you all, and I hope you are all surviving the snow alright.
From what I gather, Waggers is not quite to sure about all this snow, but I'm sure she is still happy!
|Picture taken by my dad...Waggers is usually one to travel off the beaten path, but not today.

Even though it's nearly the middle of February, this will be my first official post in the 2015 blog book. Whoops. True life, people. True life.
There's always a little pressure on this first post, but today, I am just going to get it done.
Since we moved to Washington, it has felt like our lives are running us. 2013 was spent trying to get a handle on everything new. In 2014, our motto was "take back our lives." I think we did pretty good, though the stakes for everything just seem higher now than ever before. We started 2015 with high hopes, and even though we've already suffered an emotional blow AND our team lost the Super Bowl, we're hopeful for some progress this year.
This fall will bring preschool for Audrey and Ward, marking a new season for me. Not long after school starts, Amos will be baptized in October. How can one not be hopeful with such exciting things on the horizon?
For now, we're alive and well and grateful for all of our many blessings, but most of all, each other.

I love paper plate crafts because you can do so many things with them, and they are so inexpensive because I always have paper plates on hand! These paper plate frisbees serve as a quick and easy, last minute craft if you're looking for something to do or something to take up some time without creating a huge mess!
I took two paper plates and cut out the middle of them, or just begin the cutting, depending on the child's age. Once the middle is cut out I placed the outer ring of the plates together, facing opposite of each other so it "poofs" out. For time, we stapled the plates together, but you could also glue. Then have the kids decorate it as they wish and have fun with your new frisbee!
Because these are only paper, they do not go as far as your typical frisbee. Older kids, might get bored, but you can use these for other activities as well! You can use it as a type of ring toss, hang it on a door handle, or have your kiddo use their imagination to see what they come up with!

A proposal for the first-ever apartments in Sunnyvale has found its way to federal court, even as the town's decades-old fair-housing suit remains on a path to resolution.
The Inclusive Communities Project had offered site plans for apartments on the land it owned on Belt Line Road as a remedy in its suit that dates to 1988.
Sunnyvale's use of exclusionary zoning to keep from supporting its share of the Dallas area's poor is discriminatory, ICP and its predecessors in the original suit say. The 2010 census shows Sunnyvale to have a 6.2 percent black population, compared with 22.3 percent for Dallas County as a whole.

Two investment groups who both hold around $2Bn of Apple stock have asked the most valuable brand in the world to develop software that limit the time children spend on phone. The call comes after Jana Partners and a California teachers' pension fund sent a letter to the iPhone marker calling for the digital locks.
After several complains worldwide of a growing addiction to the time people spend on their smart phones, the timing for such an appeal is well placed. However, this tech addiction we are witnessing is not only limited to the smart phone industry. A bigger problem is posed by video games and the reason for the growing addiction in the use of smart phones is the increasing demand for such phones to carry good video games.
For most parents video gaming has significant impact on the time children have to learn and a call on smartphone makers around the world to start considering how the design of these phones can curb the growing trend is one they don't take lightly.
However, some groups prefer not to call this trend an addiction and asked that parents be more involved in the control of their children when it comes to these technologies and not leave the whole work to the manufacturers of these products.

Responsible tourism: Finland wildlife vacation, whales and bears
EnvironmentThe beluga watching during this tour is made mostly from the land - staying on an island in "beluga cape". This way we will not disturb the whales, but will anyway have a very good possibility to both see and to photograph the animals.
We encourage guests to get a better understanding of wildlife and to respect our environment and the wildlife living in it.
Russian culture differs from Finnish culture especially concerning the environment and cleanness of places. During the tour we can show with our behaving how to keep the observation places clean and how not to disturb the wildlife when photographing animals.
In our own area, Lentiira, situated in the region of Kainuu, Wild taiga, we have a beautiful and precious environment of boreal forest. Some rare animals such as wolverine, the wild forest reindeer, flying squirrel, brown bears and wolves are living here.
Our guided tours respect a safety distance from animals to observe them without disturbing them. We have a code of conduct for our wildlife safaris and night in hides.
Our guides are qualified and experts in wildlife and wilderness experiences.
We plan our routes and programs to maximise the wildlife observation but minimize as much as possible animals disturbants and the use of the vehicule. We cooperate with others local compagnies exemple : join guest on transfer airport.
Our compagny donate to wildlife protection association WWF protection to the Saimaa seal as well to IFAW .
CommunityWhale watching, when managed responsibly has educational, environmental, scientific and other socioeconomic benefits.
We both support local businesses and bring much needed income into this remote community, but also the live encounters help to build an appreciation for white whales and the precious environment in which they live.
Our observing place in Solovetski is owned by Beluga station (Moscow State University White Sea Biology Station) and our observation fee is used to support the beluga research.
In our own area in Kainuu we have some rare animals such as wolverines, wild forest reindeers, flying squirrels, brown bears and wolves. Wildlife tourism brings money and jobs to our area and this helps people to accept forest protection. It also, in the long run, helps people to understand, that our predators are not dangerous and people do not have to be afraid of them.
We are participating in numerous and different voluntary work for different local organisations. We work with others tourism companies to improve the local development and create a good network to enjoy to work together in the same area.

The Black Pool
If using Safari and the player doesn't work, try clicking in the waveform of the player window.
for soprano, mezzo-soprano, and chamber orchestra
date: 2017
duration: 12'
first performance: 2 June 2017; EMPAC, Rensselaer, NY; The Dogs of Desire; David Alan Miller, cond.
availability: currently unavailable
recording: non-commercial
detailed orchestration: amplified soprano and mezzo-soprano, 1(=pic).1.1(bcl).asx(=ssx).bsx.1 – 184.108.40.206 – dmkit – elec pf – 22.214.171.124.1(=ebgtr)
Inspired in equal parts by J.S. Bach, Pink Floyd, and contemporary progressive rock luminary Steven Wilson, The Black Pool is a "prog rock cantata" that tells the story of a girl who discovers her doppelgänger lurking beneath the surface of a mysterious reflecting pool. After pondering her discovery, the "mirror of her shadows" lurking in the pool's murky depths pulls her in and drowns her. Amidst the tumult and turmoil, however, she comes to embrace her fate, and through her acceptance, is ultimately "reborn" into a new and different life.
The initial point of inspiration for the piece came from the "Et in Unum Dominum" section of the B Minor Mass by J.S. Bach, which features 2 sopranos singing in semi-hocketing, imitative counterpoint with one another. The idea of constructing a story about a girl and her mirror image was born as a direct consequence of this musical model. Another section of the piece seems to channel Pink Floyd, specifically the song "Welcome to the Machine" from the 1975 album Wish You Were Here, and all of its ominous, dystopian implications. Finally, the music of Steven Wilson — a contemporary progressive rock musician whose music frequently features virtuosic solos, gnarly instrumental breakdowns, and shifting time signatures — looms throughout, but most prominently in the faster sections that feature solo winds.
While the story at the heart of The Black Pool could be taken simply at face value, it also seems to suggest a metaphor for confronting one's own fears, anxieties, and self-sabotaging tendencies in all of their uniquely human manifestations. It seems that the negative impulses we may encounter from within ourselves are most often the things that keep us from reaching our potential — for happiness, stability, love, fulfillment — among the many other things we might wish to achieve for ourselves in our lives.

Due to my other commitments and scheduling,
Do You Stack Up? Design Team.
I saw many folks are into the bees and honeycomb patterns, but I wanted to be different and chose to layer the "Honeycomb" embossed image over the
Recollection, "Rooster Provencial" stack pages.
These are huge glossy images printed on the 12 x 12 paper,
and made for the perfect 6 x 6 cards!
I find myself paying the extra more often to send out the bigger, thicker cards.
I love them, as do my friends and relatives!
It covered the entire upper 3/4 of my card!
And detailed the embossing so well!
I stamped in Momento, Rich Cocoa, and then sprinkled it with
detail gold embossing powder from Stampendous!
The heat-embossed stamp actually looks so much like metal!
The addition of the dried corn was compliments of my little Goffin cockatoo.
Of course, he doesn't know he donated a portion of his mix for these projects!
These will be used a NOTE cards for whenever an occasion comes up where I have something to "crow" about or share a "Thank You!" LOL!
A big THANK YOU to "Do You Stack Up?"!
And, I'm not going anywhere!
You'll still find me right here!

Where: Spoon Café Bistro
6a Nicholson Street
Cost: £30 based on a 2-course meal for 2 including soft drinks.
Why? For lazy lunches, for dreams of childhoods past.
Once I visited the fair city of Edinburgh on university related business. It was spring with hints of summer. In Kenyan terms this means it was fucking cold! Edinbugh is very pretty place, in fact so pretty that the UN named the whole city a world heritage site. I stayed at the George Hotel on George Street. But more on that later. The previous night I had eaten supper at Edinburgh famous eatery Fisher down by the old wharf turned regentrified fort of yuppiedom. Our gracious host Morena ("it Celtic!" she said.) pointed me in the direction of Spoon when I told her I needed a place to lunch near the university. She scribbled down the address and said, "you'll love it". And I did.
Spoon is right opposite the University of Edinburgh Law Faculty. It's a grand old building. Fitting I think for Scotland's pinnacle of jurisprudence. The university is easy to find, flag down a cab and yell "to the university!" Spoon isn't.
The sign is small, once the building is found push open the glass doors, climb up a flight of stairs. Down a corridor and finally emerge into the heavenly space that is spoon. Light bathed the room, not to big not o small. The décor is kitschy retro in the most delightful way. The tables and chairs are mismatched, some big some small. Some are for kids. There are wooden benches and painted chairs. The open restaurant is punctuated by screens covered in old sheet music (from The Sound of Music) there's a bookshelf (I picture Lewis Carol and C.S. Lewis and Enid Blyton). One gets the familiar feeling of being back in ones childhood home. Music filters down form somewhere –Mama Cass Elliot-, I recall the 60s and I think, "let the sunshine in!" and it does.
The menu is simple; an A4 sheet fits all three courses. Specials are on the board. I have the tomato and aubergine soup to start, skirt steak with braised onions and mash potatoes for my main. The soup is heavenly. It arrives hot with crusts of bread and a slab of butter. The veg is roughly chopped, this soup isn't drunk; it's eaten, bitten and chewed into submission. On my palette is sweet fragrant basil, garlic. Italy. Almost as an afterthought a kick of spice. The best soup I've eaten ever.
Promptly after comes the steak gently plopped on top of a hillock of creamy mash spotted with chopped spring onions. On top of the steak, a tangle of sweet sweet onions braised in red wine, they almost melt in my mouth. A wolf it down, forgetting I have company. The outside world rushes by, all I see is mismatched flatware, bare white walls and ethereal light beaming from on high. I pause to flush down my appletiser and I think to myself "what a wonderful world."
And it is. It really is.

Language and Literary Studies of Warsaw
Language and Literary Studies of Warsaw (previously, The Linguistic Academy Journal of Interdisciplinary
Language Studies) is conceived as a peer reviewed yearly scholarly journal which aims to offer a cross
section of articles on and about languages, literatures, and cultures. We stand by our original plan to be
interdisciplinary in nature and to present papers written by Polish and international scholars. Our journal
is characterised by its bilingual nature: articles are accepted in Polish and English - with abstracts
provided in both languages – but the subject matter we intend to cover greatly exceeds the limits of the
two languages and cultures.

The fifth day of the tournament ended with a triple tie in the three games involved, which keeps intact the classification: Ruslan Ponomariov continues to head the table with Judit and Topalov as only half a point
The fifth day of the tournament "Playing Champions League-for a better world" resulted in a triple tie in the three games involved, which keeps intact the classification: Ruslan Ponomariov, 24 years old, continues to head the table with Judit Polgar and Veselin Topalov as immediate pursuers just half a point.
The leader was aware of the importance of their clash today with whom undoubtedly will be one of its direct rivals facing the final triumph, and also of what it can be dangerous if allowed Topalov give free rein to its aggressiveness. Therefore, Ponomariov decided to take advantage of playing with white lead to the departure of the quietest possible paths.Topalov was trying to force things with a sacrifice pawn, which, however channeled directly to a line position forced tables. A result that appears to satisfy the interests of most young Ukrainian prodigy, to enable it to end as winner of the first round of the tournament.
In his departure face Judit Polgar, Nisipeanu followed the same strategy used to contain Kramnik Kasparov in his historic duel of the year 2000: Berlin raised a defense in which, as is typical, white obtained a microscopic advantage, but where timing Romanian countered in the flank Ladies and ensured a draw after 27 moves.
Anatoli Karpov versus Kasimdzhanov won a position apparently calm, but held out dangerous subtleties. However, when the legendary champion was about to get some tangible advantage, committed a minor inaccuracy that land threw his good work so far, and opted for the division point after just 23 moves.

This month's Thursday Travel Throwback posts share a trip to Vienna G and I took a couple of Decembers ago to enjoy the Christmas markets.
Arriving in Vienna is a lot like stepping back in time to an age of almost unimaginable grandeur and imperial power…
We had wanted to go somewhere for the holiday season that would give us a unique experience and having read about the famous Austrian Christmas markets we were sold.
Having done my research (see my travel planning process here) I knew that Vienna is a city of history and culture but I never could have imagined the feeling of imperial power it conveys. We arrived after an early-morning flight and quickly dropped our bags at the hotel so we could head out. Stepping onto the city streets I was immediately charmed.
Our hotel was just down the road from the famous Vienna State Opera House…
…and just a short walk away from Hofburg Palace, which we accessed through Burggarten, passing some famous residents of Vienna on the way.
Hofburg Palace was once home to the Habsburg emperors and today is where the offices of the Austrian president can be found. A vast collection of buildings make up the palace as it now stands and in addition to its political residents it also houses various museums including the Imperial Apartments and the National Library.
The Imperial Apartments showcase the finery of a bygone imperial era with special focus on Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife, Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria, whom the Austrians lovingly referred to as 'Sisi'.
Sisi was beautiful, dignified and elegant and the Austrian people still adore her to this day. Walking through the rooms she and her husband once occupied was a captivating experience.
I was already impressed with Hofburg but when we walked out into Heroes' Square (formerly the palace's parade ground) and I saw the facade of the semi-circular Neue Burg I was temporarily knocked speechless.
The sheer scale of it is truly incredible and pictures don't do justice to the sense of power and drama it creates in the heart and mind of the beholder.
I live for moments and sights like this!
After we had wandered through the various buildings and extensive grounds of Hofburg we headed across the street to the Museum Quarter where we came across the first (of many many many) Christmas market.
The Maria Theresa Monument (above) commemorates the life of Empress Maria Theresa, mother of Queen Marie Antoinette of France.
Walking north from the Museum Quarter we passed in front of the parliament building towards Neues Rathaus, the Town Hall famous for it's stunning facade.
We got lost in the Christmas market and before we knew it night was falling. After a stop for dinner we continued to walk through the city streets, not quite ready to call it a night just yet.
We saw some impressive modern graffiti and found ourselves at yet another market in front of Karlskirche, a church built between 1715 and 1737 to honour Karl Borromeo, the patron saint of the fight against the plague. The aim of the project was to thank God for ending the plague epidemic which spread through Vienna in 1713 and claimed the loves of more than 8,000 Austrians.
Fairly exhausted after a busy day exploring we returned to the hotel ready to collapse into sleep and already eager to see what the next day had in store!
Make sure you check back next Thursday for the second installment in my Vienna Thursday Travel Throwback posts!
