Manchester United supporters have called for Romelu Lukaku to be dropped after the striker failed to find the back of the net against Watford on Tuesday night.
Jose Mourinho's men won the encounter at Vicarage Road 4-2 thanks to goals from Ashley Young (2), Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard.
Another goalless night means Lukaku has scored just one in his last 10 appearances for the Red Devils.
The 24-year-old's barren spell is of stark contrast to the form he started the season in, having already scored double figures this term.
Lukaku's last goal came against Newcastle two weeks ago and confidence looks to be a real issue for the striker who fluffed his lines with a glorious opportunity in the second half.
United's next game is against Arsenal on Saturday, but Red Devils fans all want Lukaku to stay away from the starting XI...

Today I'm going to talk about an awesome subscription box; Japan Candy Box! This box is pretty popular so you may have heard of it already, if you haven't you can find their website here: www.japancandybox.com
Japan Candy Box is a monthly subscription box containing 8-10 carefully selected Japanese snacks. They currently have one box size with several subscription options, the standard monthly subscription costs $19.90 per month and, as is often the case with subscription boxes, you can find a discounted rate on the longer term plans.
Shipping is free worldwide, which is very impressive! My box was sent using Registered Airmail (which includes a tracking number) and even with the busy Christmas period my box made it to the UK in just under 3 weeks. My other boxes took a lot longer than this to arrive so this really surprised me!
Japan Candy Box describe themselves as 'the sweetest monthly Japanese candy subscription box' and after unboxing this one I must say I agree; Japan Candy Box officially hold the title of most adorably kawaii candy box we've ever tried! Read on to see what cute and delicious snacks came in the November 2016 edition ♥ω♥
Giveaway details are at the end of the post~
Giveaway has ended and winner has been contacted by email 🙂
I don't usually mention the box itself, but I fell in love with the Japan Candy Box artwork and just had to include it. How adorable is this box? It really brightens up the day when something this cute arrives in the mail. There's tissue paper with the same purple and white print inside too ♡(ŐωŐ人)
This box got a little battered on the way, an unfortunately common occurrence with the UK postal service around Christmas time. I tried to straighten the dents out so you could see the artwork better but it still looks a bit battered. I'm sad the post service weren't more careful with it, but at least I can assure you that even with visible damage to the box the snacks are perfectly safe and secure inside it, nothing was broken or damaged in any way. Top marks for having adorable yet sturdy packaging!
The included leaflet is short and sweet, there are no product descriptions but since they give the full name and maker it's easy to find information on the snacks via Google. There's even a hand written message on the back of the leaflet, how cute is that? Right back at you Japan Candy Box, hope you have a sweet 2017 too! 。^‿^。
Now, let's take a look at what snacks were included in the November 2016 box:
Meiji Mushroom Mountain DIY kit
First up we have a DIY kit, how fun! This kit allows you to make your own mushroom biscuits in a combination of white, milk and strawberry chocolate. I love the pre-made version of these biscuits so I am excited to get to make some of my own! ♡^▽^♡
This kit includes a mold with various shapes to fill, a pack of stalk shaped biscuits and three tubes of chocolate (white, strawberry and milk). To make your biscuits you place the chocolate tubes in hot water until they soften then snip off the ends, fill the molds in whatever way you like then insert the biscuit sticks and allow to set. Simple, right? Well, not for me apparently as it all went disastrously wrong! つ´Д`)つ
This is what my tray ended up looking like:
My problem was that the room I was working in was too cold, and so the chocolate was setting almost as soon as I squeezed it into the molds.The chocolate hardened before I could set the sticks in so I had to force them in, which is why the chocolate around the sticks looks so messy. Oops! I also ran out of chocolate before I could fill each section of the mold, which was a little sad. It's funny because you're supposed to need to refrigerate these chocolates to set them- I knew my room was cold, but didn't realise it was this cold! I guess I should have known since it was snowing outside, haha.
It's ok though, my mushrooms may not have looked the best but they still tasted great! Taste wise the quality is comparable to the pre-made boxes you can buy, the strawberry chocolate was my favourite 。^‿^。
Here's how mine turned out:
I know I messed this kit up (I usually do to be honest!) but it was a lot of fun, even if the laughter was slightly hysterical as it all went wrong, and the end result was still delicious. I'd give it a 10/10 for the entertainment factor alone. Those with warmer houses will have much more success than me ^_~
Lotte Koala March Strawberry Biscuits
Lotte's Koala March biscuits are well known (and well loved) chocolate filled biscuits featuring adorable koalas. They're very similar to Hello Panda, but some say Koala March are better quality ^_~
I love the designs on the biscuits, they're so fun 。^‿^。
The biscuits themselves are light and crispy, a nice contrast to the solid chocolate filling. There is more air than filling inside the biscuits (although not all of them had as big an air bubble as the one pictured above) but what filling there is is good; the chocolate is super sweet and creamy, with a strong artificial strawberry flavour. Any more filling would make these pretty overpowering. The plain biscuits offset the sweetness so they're not sickening, in fact it's a little too easy to eat the whole pack at once! All in all they're exactly what you'd want in a strawberry chocolate biscuit.
In case you're curious, here are the rest of the designs from this box:
I'd give the Koala March a solid 10/10, can't beat a good strawberry biscuit 。^‿^。
Hi-Chew White Soda Chewy Candy
Hi-Chew are known for their realistic, high quality flavours and are one of my favourite Japanese chewy candies, yet of all the flavours I've tried this is the first time I've had the ramune soda flavour. Which is odd, since anyone who reads regularly will know that ramune is one of my all time favourite candy flavours! I'm glad to have had the chance to try these now and pleased to say they 100% live up to expectations 。^‿^。
The candies are a plain, off white colour and come individually wrapped. Some of the wrappers feature pretty silly faces! They have a firm chewing gum like texture that gets softer and juicer the more you chew. The ramune flavour is excellent, it's so realistic it's like drinking soda and chewing candy all at once! They don't have the fizziness that most ramune candies have, but the flavour is so good you don't really miss it. You can chew these for ages and the flavour stays lovely and strong, so even though the packet is quite small you can make them last a long time.
I'd give the Hi-Chew a 10/10, ramune fans will love these for their realistic and long lasting flavour.
Fujiya Milky Matcha Green Tea Candies
I've had these candies a few times now and am very impressed with them, I actually bought them for some family members at Christmas so they could try them too! I love the Peko-chan X Hello Kitty artwork on the box, so adorable (≧▽≦)
The candies are quite large and feature cute Peko-chan and Hello Kitty designs on the wrappers. You can see the designs better in this photo:
Isn't the green colour so pretty? Texture wise these are comparable to a hard caramel which gets softer as you chew, it actually ends up dissolving if you hold it in your mouth long enough. The flavour is excellent, the matcha is mild but comes through really well and isn't bitter at all. These are one of the sweetest matcha candies I've tried, because they are so sweet and mild I'd recommend these to anyone trying matcha for the first time. Like the Hi-Chew you can make one candy last a long time, which is great as there aren't many candies in that little box!
I'd give the Milky Matcha candies a 10/10 for their beautiful presentation and great flavour.
Pompompurin Pudding Gummies
What Japan calls purin you may know as créme caramel, flan or caramel pudding. Whatever you call it it's delicious, and since Pompompurin is named for this caramel topped custard treat it makes sense that he would feature on a pack of pudding flavoured gummies!
The gummies are shaped like little individual puddings, complete with a caramel sauce topping. So cute! They have a firm yet squishy, almost jelly like texture. The flavour is incredibly realistic, it tastes just like a custard pudding with a hint of sweetness from the caramel. There is a dash of vanilla flavour in there too, I felt like I was eating creme brulee (one of my favourite desserts!) but in gummy form, which sounds very strange but it works! These are absolutely delicious and a wonderful example of Japan's weird and wonderful realistically flavoured gummies!
Another 10/10 from me! (♡´౪`♡)
Fujiya Anpanman Lollipop
Fujiya produce a variety of chocolate character lollies, Japan Candy Box chose to include this cute Anpanman version. This one features the character Dokinchan and is made up of both milk and strawberry chocolate.
The chocolate is good quality and has a great creamy texture.The strawberry flavour was mild but lovely, not as artificial as the strawberry chocolate in the Koala March biscuits. It's such a small lollipop though, so other than a little nibble I let my son have the whole thing. Times like this he is more than happy to be my helper and taste test for me! ^_~
Alexander loved this cute little lollipop and would give it a 10/10!
Yaokin Christmas Umaibo
You don't need me to tell you about umaibo, right? These super popular dagashi snacks come in a huge variety of flavours, these two feature Christmas themed wrappers and are corn potage flavour (top) and chocolate flavour (bottom). Corn potage is my absolute favourite umaibo flavour so I was super happy to see that one ♡^▽^♡
Corn potage is a creamy sweetcorn soup garnished with spring onions, and that is exactly what the corn potage umaibo tastes like. It's unbelievable just how realistically flavoured Japan's corn potage snacks are, you can taste everything from the sweet, juicy corn right down to the spring onion. All the taste of sweet delicious soup but with the crisp and airy texture of a corn puff, these are a must try!
The chocolate umaibo is quite a bit smaller than the regular sized corn potage one, but just as delicious. The smooth chocolate coating works really well with the crunchy, slightly salty corn puff, it's so good! The chocolate is surprisingly good quality for a dagashi snack too.
I'd give both these umaibo a 10/10, both flavours are excellent (although the corn potage remains my firm favourite!).
Morinaga Tsum Tsum Chocolate Biscuit
Another chocolate filled biscuit, this time a super kawaii Tsum Tsum chocolate variety with an interesting triangular packaging, designed to emulate the pyramid shape you would stack Tsum Tsums in. This one features Alice from Alice in Wonderland, who I think is one of the cutest Tsum Tsums! ♡ඩ⌔ඩ♡
I love the kawaii dot work designs on the biscuits! That is the whole packet by the way, this is one of the smallest items in the box.
These biscuits have a thicker biscuit layer and much more generous filling than the Koala March, there's just a tiny air bubble in the middle of them. I didn't enjoy the flavour as much, admittedly I do simply prefer strawberry to chocolate but these had an odd, almost alcoholic undertone to them. The biscuit was lovely and sweet but not quite as crunchy as the Koala March.
Alice loved the Alice packaging! ^_~
I'd give these an 8/10, they were my least favourite biscuits in the box with that odd chocolate filling but they are still edible and the packaging is fun and unique, plus the biscuits designs are very cute!
Fujiya Anpanman Biscuits
Another Anpanman snack, this time it's these sweet little biscuits. This box sure had a lot of biscuits!
They biscuits feature several different character designs, but I'd be lying if I said I knew who they all are! They're very cute anyway. I thought these were very similar in both taste and texture to the Rich Tea biscuits we have in the UK, only slightly sweeter with a mild butter flavour. Plain compared to the rest of the biscuits in this box but still delicious, even more so with a cup of tea!
I'd give these a 10/10 for their simple but delicious flavour and adorable designs.
Overall I think this box was awesome, I was really taken by how cute all the snacks were. It was quite biscuit heavy (as a biscuit lover I'm not complaining!) but I think it still featured a great variety of snacks overall. It's hard to pick a favourite, but if I had to pick it would be the Pompompurin Pudding Gummies just for their amazingly realistic and unique flavour. You definitely can't find gummies like that in the UK! I was impressed that there was nothing in the box I didn't like, even my least favourite (the Tsum Tsum biscuits) was still fine to eat.
The service is hard to beat for the price, considering you get full sized snacks and fast (free) postage. The staff are absolutely lovely to talk to via email, very friendly, helpful and polite, so I would imagine they would be lovely to deal with if you had any problems (not that I did). I would subscribe to this myself if I could afford another monthly subscription, so would definitely recommend it to others 。^‿^。

March, flowers bloomed through your toes.
June, I saw the sun kiss your cheeks,
August, the rain dripped down your neck,
October, the wind swayed through your hair.
December, tiny snowflakes danced around you,
So many lovers with a romance unmatched.
yet in January, you tell me how lonely you were last year.

Why are do the pictures and video only show black?
The pictures and video show black because the chickens are outdoors and it is dark outside. I'm located in Northwest Florida and at my latitude we get about 14 hours, 6 minutes of sunlight a day at most in the summer. In the winter months we get about 10 hours and 11 minutes at the very least. Since chickens are not nocturnal and require darkness to sleep, they do not have any lights outside.

Well -- actually, I do know why, and this is kind of funny too. We do own a bed. It actually was my grandparents' bed, and my great-grandfather built it with his own hands. The confluence of three or four things are keeping us from using it; I actually believe that any one of them on its own would have been sufficient to deter us from using it, but all of them together are an unstoppable force. Here are the reasons:
- it's in storage, and W claims that the storage space is so tightly packed that we can't get anything out without spending a few hours unpacking and repacking the space (me, I've never been to the space);
- the last time we used it, our apartment became infested with bedbugs. Yes, bedbugs. You can't imagine how horrible that experience was. Anyway, we've read that they can live for a year without eating. This strikes me as damn near impossible, but that's what they say. So what if there are some bedbugs still living in that fucking bed, just waiting for us to take it out of storage again?
- I love my grandparents, but it's actually kind of a piece of shit as furniture goes. I mean... Wow, I can't believe I said that. It is beautiful, and it's amazing that my great-grandfather built it. I couldn't be happier to own it. But it's very rickety, and it's on little wheels. Having sex on it is a weird experience -- you are in serious danger of breaking it, and simultaneously it is inching across the floor. You're never sure where you'll end up.
- it's a little creepy sleeping in your dead grandparents' bed, much less having sex in it.
So, for those reasons, we are now sleeping on a true piece of shit futon couch. It is really -- realy really really -- really uncomfortable. It's small, and we are the crazy couple that doesn't just allow their dog to sleep with them, but actually insists on it -- we get our feelings hurt if she tries to sleep elsewhere. We call her. I think I've even gone over to her, picked her up, and brought her back to the bed. It's also all indented where we lie, so you don't have a flat surface underneath you, and some parts are hard and others are soft, and there's a big ridge between us.
Anyway, the kitchen in that apartment is so small that they couldn't fit a real refrigerator and stove in there -- we have mini versions of both! (Not a college fridge, but like a three-quarter size one or something.) And our only counter space is this thing we bought from Ikea that provides us with about three square feet of space, on which we have to keep our coffee maker, knives, any bread we have on hand, and our paper towels (there is literally no space for a paper towel dispenser on the wall). We use what's left over of that space for cooking.
The oddest thing about the place is the fact that the bathroom is outside the apartment. Basically, the apartment is the upstairs of a house. You come into the house, and you're in a common area; you walk up the stairs, and directly in front of you is our bathroom, and to the right is the door to our place. Mind you, we don't share the bathroom with anyone. But there's nothing to stop our downstairs neighbors from coming up to take a shit if they felt like it.
Which brings me to the downstairs neighbors. I have a feeling they are going to fall into the same category as the crazy old junkie with the cane who loved D -- weird people I didn't particularly care for at the time, but who I really don't want to forget about. They're a Polish couple, in maybe their 40's or 50's. Hard to tell, because hard living takes its toll, and the husband definitely likes to stay drunk. They had a hard time adjusting to D, because she tends to, well, howl at the top of her lungs for hours on end when she's left alone. But the amazing thing is that they have stayed completely nice about it -- they always tell me, in their broken English, "no problem." (That does seem to be a favorite English phrase among Polish speakers.) Yesterday I stopped and shot the shit with the husband for a good ten minutes, neither of us understanding a word the other was saying. He was talking about the weather, about the dog, something about the mail. It seems they had some sort of problem involving the mail and the woman who used to live in our place. The wife is also very nice, but she's weird in her own right: one day the doorbell rang at about 9 a.m., and I answered it. It was an old woman with a piece of paper in her hand w/ our address on it, asking for the woman downstairs. The woman comes out, in a full-on nightgown, obviously embarrassed for me to see her like that. The two of them go into the downstairs apartment. For the rest of the day, the whole house smells like hair products.
There's also a younger guy, probably college age, who lives there. We think he's not related to the other two, that he just rents a room in the front of the house. He is really quite nice. His room reeks of adolescent boy. Nasty. I almost never see him. I can't figure out whether he's always home or never home, but he's never seen going in or out of the house.
One more thing about the husband, a story that I hope to not forget: when we were moving in -- the very first time I meet the guy -- he comes outside the house, stinking of vodka, and insists on closing the door (which we have open so we can move our shit in). W and he nearly get into an altercation about this; then he goes to the mailbox and gets out the mail, takes a look at it, and starts getting irate: "the fucking post! Is wrong! Is wrong!" And he shows me the address label, as he's walking next door, presumably to drop it in their slot. The label shows his adress; but it has my name on it. I had to talk him down, convince him that it was right. I'm pointing at the address, then pointing at the street numbers on the house, I'm pointing at the name on the label, then pointing at myself going "me! Me!" And that was our introduction to the guy. Then we walk in the door and notice that there's a damn billy club hanging next to the door. I admit to being truly afraid at that point. But he turned out to be very nice, like I say.

This week's Seasonal Bouquet
Here is my design this week for the
Seasonal Bouquet Project
. Clematis is a new cut for me to experiment with. This one is Nellie Moser. I love the movement of the vines. Also Delphiniums are starting to bloom so had to use them as well. Also included are some just divine Lavender irises.
This will be the last week for Lupines and Weigela. I Love my new Milk Jug that I got from
Red Door Farms.

— DAILY SABAH (@DailySabah) February 4, 2018
Roma battled with 10 men to win 1-0 at troubled Verona Sunday, staying fifth in Italy's Serie A and closing to within one point of the Champions League zone.
Turkish winger Cengiz Ünder scored his first goal for the Romans in the first minute, surging from the right to blast into the corner of the net.
The 20-year-old joined the Giallorossi from Turkish Super League runners-up Medipol Başakşehir in July. He cost Roma 13 million euros ($16.21 million) which then made him the most expensive Turkish player to be transferred to a European team.
This is what it feels like to score your first goal for Roma! 🐺— AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) February 4, 2018
#ASRoma #VeronaRoma @cengizunder pic.twitter.com/izk10CfjLH
Early in the second half, Verona had coach Fabio Pecchia dismissed for protesting and Roma's Lorenzo Pellegrini was red-carded after fouling an opponent from behind in the 51st.
Roma trail fourth-placed Inter Milan, who drew 1-1 at home against struggling Crotone Saturday. Verona are second-last, four points from the safety of fourth-last place filled by Crotone.

Exactly, at what point do we draw the line on CO2. And why stop at CO2. Why not go further and get some other bad boy pollutants in there as well. Eugenics will eventually come around again because we'll eventually have to control population growth. Too many Humans, too much CO2

Here is my 8.5x 11 layout
The photo taken of part of the Globe Theatre ceiling was cut to eliminate other background details. This left a diamond shape.
I decided to mist on a crepe gauze bandage as my centrepiece and add a twine bow(all that is my handmade embellishment). I then added part of a doiley, butterflies and an entry ticket. Hope you like it.

Much like the God they champion versus the devil of "evil negativity" espoused by folks like Foo Fighter Dave Grohl, Creed evokes a love-'em-or-hate-'em attitude in most everyone. Folks either love the band in all their bigger-than-life grandiosity, or shrivel at the very name due to what they see as pretentiousness blown to epic proportions by a bag of hot air.To many, that bag of hot air goes by the name of Scott Alan Stapp. In a story too good for Creed-bashers to believe, Stapp's real name was originally Anthony Scott Flippen. After his mom got married to a Dr. Stapp, the whole family adopted the last name, which made his initials A.S.S. Soon, Stapp's real name was legally changed to Scott Alan Stapp.
Stapp is the lightning rod for the band, for more than a couple of reasons. Firstly, much like so many other "new rock" acts of this day and age, the rest of the band are pretty damn boring and businesslike. Secondly, it's Stapp who strikes the messianic poses one so often sees -- indeed "with arms wide open." Public Enemy's Chuck D once rapped that "now they got me like Jesus," but he didn't see the need for audio-visuals. Bono pretty much walked the same path as Stapp in the early days of U2, but redeemed his "God-stretches" with a sense of humor and a hearty fondness for lager. Stapp often fuels the fire by making statements like the recent one where he states that he sings so hard that sometimes he sees visions -- in this particular case, an American Indian in the audience.
The Christian overtones of Creed are impossible to ignore. Albeit in an oblique way, most every song deals with some vague wish to go "higher," to change one's life, or to "fly away." Earlier Creed songs contained lyrics like "only in America we kill the unborn to make ends meet." Presumably, such pointed statements could serve to keep the band from meeting its maximum, unit-shifting potential, however more admirable the band's straightforward politicos might have been at that point. Now, it seems, Stapp erects a Holy Ghost barrier anytime one objects to a statement or song lyric, and chafes when someone asks for an explanation. Foremost of these is Stapp's insistence of not getting involved in what he terms "all the negativity in the world." Dave Grohl's hilarious parody of "With Arms Wide Open" (http://plater.dnsalias.net:8080/music2/) irked Stapp, who called the Foo Fighter an amazing artist but noted that he was disappointed. Stapp also refused comment on the famous Fred Durst rift (Fred thought they were pretentious, boring and arrogant), but did note that he would fight the good fight and trade punches in the ring for charity.
Whatever it says about Creed as a band, it's important to note that a minor music/pop culture figure likely wouldn't cause such a fuss in society. Elvis and Madonna created controversy because they struck certain chords in folks, primarily in the fields of personal expression, particularly among the youth of America (Elvis) and women (Madonna and, well, Elvis). Creed, it would seem, represent something different: a test of the level of Christian mores allowed in youth and popular culture, and the corresponding coolness (or lack of) bestowed upon such a phenomenon. As Stapp and Co. sell out another venue or sell another million records or appear on MTV yet again, another door is seemingly opened to those who might use Creed's success as a pulpit. Stapp and Co. may not explicitly be a Christian rock band, but they know a formula when they see it: Tell it like a preacher and deliver "em to salvation with some well-placed power chords and "Stairway to Heaven" strings (a coincidence? I think not...).
The other element of the formula is simple enough: Don't anger the folks in Christian radio and at VH1 that have helped raise the band to its current status, while simultaneously doing nothing -- like, say, getting too spiritually explicit in the lyrics -- to piss off the commercial radio/MTV crowd. It's a tightrope walk few -- if any -- recent mainstream bands have attempted. The aforementioned U2 was never as closely aligned with the Great Tour Manager In The Sky as Creed is. Stryper never got past bumblebee costumes and Ultra-mist. Add to this a semi-heavy sound about as close to real expression as KFC is to dinner at Grandma's, and you have the makings of a hit. Your Grandma doesn't make money, you see, and KFC does.
So why the prayer haters? Most websites point to the band's ham-fisted way with their image, seemingly mythologizing themselves while at the same time preaching against such stuff in others. (Check out www.creedsucks.com for an easy portal into the Anti-Creed world, in which Stapp is more like the Anti-Christ.) Some notable critics even point to something else: an unease at Christian themes in general when not cloaked in some sort of rootsy authenticity.
"The band's overwrought sound and the arrogance and righteousness of the lead singer both irritate critics -- and that's compounded by an anti-religious bias," says Anthony DeCurtis, a contributing editor at Rolling Stone.
"I recall a similar backlash for Hootie," says the ever-opinionated Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune. "Over-the-top nastiness far out of sync with the actual quality of the band, as much directed at the band's audience at the band itself. Or how about the Offspring using Backstreet Boys punching bags on their tour? In both cases, the enraged, stamp-out-those-cockroaches criticism is pathetic, even more egregious than the bland, cookie cutter music it seeks to vilify... It makes certain people feel better that they "know' good music and the poor misguided masses don't, I guess. With Creed, add an element of sanctimony and humorlessness in the band's music, and you have a band that is even easier to hate. I admit, I have a hard time swallowing a band that is so aggressively mediocre -- at least Hootie and Backstreet Boys sound like they're having fun."
And there you have it, I do believe. Creed aren't likely to be the Second Coming, of Led Zeppelin or anyone else (though Stapp is fond of paralleling the bands in interviews). Musically speaking, they might even be the equivalent of a Millennial doomsday scare.
It's not the message Creed sends that irritates folks, but the manner in which it's delivered. Who, whether in the literal sense or the figurative musical sense, wants to go to a heaven as joyless as this?
The onus is on Creed at this point. Can you take us higher?
Creed plays Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at 7:30pm on Monday, July 15, along with special guests Jerry Cantrell and 12 Stones. Call 704-522-6500 for more information.

Career Ready has secured nearly £70,000 worth of further investment from the government-backed Careers & Enterprise Company to support more young people in Stoke-on-Trent, the Black Country, London and Essex. This follows the joint funding with Business in the Community awarded in March 2016, which supported our two charities to launch the Employability for All programme in Essex and Ipswich.
The investment will help Career Ready to scale up its employer mentoring programme and extend it to work with students who are about to start their GCSEs, but are at risk of disengaging.
Anne Spackman, Chief Executive of Career Ready, said: "We know from our 14 year track record of mentoring how hearing from an adult who is not their parent or teacher can completely transform a young person's ambitions. Students describe the impact that mentoring has had on their aspirations, resilience and career path and mentors describe the reward of witnessing that transformation.
"All our mentors are employer volunteers doing this alongside their job. This funding recognises the impact their work has had and we hope will encourage new volunteers to join up."
Emily Wilkinson, former Career Ready student from St John Fisher Academy in West Yorkshire, said: "My mentor helped me to plan my next steps and figure out what I actually needed to do to achieve my ambitions. She helped me build up my confidence and allowed me to believe I can achieve whatever I want to.
"I'm now confident and able to meet new people and feel comfortable enough to introduce myself. Career Ready has helped me to face my fears, all thanks to the support from my mentor."
Emily Seager, Regional Business Development Manager at Lloyds Banking Group, has been mentoring students in London for three years. She said: "Career Ready is designed in such a way that it benefits everyone involved. Students develop their own understanding of the world of work, growing academically, personally and unlocking their potential. In return, mentors have a sense of achievement, watching and supporting a young person grow, but also grow and learn from their mentee as well.
"To have the opportunity to support a student, to build their self-confidence, open up their eyes to a variety of careers and excite them about the prospect of their own future, is something very special to me."
The Careers & Enterprise company was established by the government to extend employer engagement in schools across England. It aims to join the dots between schools, colleges, employers and providers of careers and enterprise activities, supporting programmes that work to ensure more equal access to opportunities for young people across the country.
Claudia Harris, CEO of The Careers & Enterprise Company, said: "Too many young people across England are at risk of not achieving their full potential. This can have a lasting impact on their future and career later in life.
"Employer mentoring is a powerful way to address this issue by helping young people get inspired about the world of work.
"Our fund will work to unlock this inspiration by scaling up proven mentoring programmes to help boost social mobility and give young people great life changing experiences.
"I would encourage anyone who wants to get involved in mentoring to step forward and join this mentoring movement and make a real difference to the lives of young people in their local community."

SOS, GAA & Vodafones TALK, LISTEN, CHANGE CAMPAIGN: What is it about?
One of the highlights of 2012 was a unique partnership with Vodafone, Dublin GAA and Suicide or Survive to raise awareness of mental health issues
On Monday, January 23rd, 2012 Vodafone and Dublin GAA announced a unique initiative for the first games of the Allianz National Football and Hurling Leagues that delivered a timely boost for promotion of mental health issues in Ireland.The country's largest total telecoms provider vacated its jersey sponsorship for the opening Croke Park Spring Series 2012 football league clash with Kerry and hurling league meeting with Galway for Suicide or Survive. This was the first time a jersey logo was handed over by a sponsor to a charity for a competitive inter-county match.
" Mental health issues are more prevalent in Irish society today than ever before and suicide is now the leading cause of death among young people. That shows how serious the problem is and the Dublin jersey is a great platform to raise awareness of these issues from. We are delighted to support the on-going campaign around mental health issues by setting aside our logo for the Suicide or Survive charity for these games."
– Vodafone Ireland Strategy Director Paul Ryan
The undertaking, which saw the SOS logo replace Vodafone's for the two games, was initiated by and promoted through the Vodafone Ireland Foundation, which provides funding annually to a number of Irish charities. SOS was one of Vodafone Ireland Foundation's charity partners.
The two match initiative – for the football league opener against Kerry on Saturday night, February 4th 2012 in Croke Park and the first hurling league game against Galway in Pearse Stadium on February 26th 2012 – was built around a 'Talk, Listen, Change' (TLC) theme.
The objective was to encourage people enduring stress and other mental health challenges to open up about their difficulties, seek the support available and by doing so effect a positive change in their mental health.
" We didn't have to think twice when Vodafone came to us with the idea of swapping their logo for that of the Suicide or Survive Charity for these games. With one in four people experiencing mental health problems at some stage in their lives, it is essential that organisations like Dublin GAA and the GAA get behind efforts to encourage people to talk and look for the help that's out there."
– Dublin GAA CEO John Costello
CEO and founder of SOS, Caroline McGuigan described the joint Vodafone-Dublin GAA initiative as one of the most important developments since the organisation was established. "This is a wonderful gesture by Vodafone and Dublin GAA. It's the biggest opportunity we have had as a charity to reach and educate people about mental health issues, not least breaking the stigma around them. Between confirmed suicides and undetermined deaths, it's estimated that 600 plus people die to suicide each year. That's a two people per-day average, three times the number of deaths in 1980, for example, and three times the number of people killed on our roads."

Course web site: Everything you need to know about the course (e.g., syllabus, lecture slides, assigned exercises, solutions to selected assignment problems, grades, course related links, etc.) is included here: http://neuron.eng.wayne.edu/ECE330/ece330f97.html. Make sure you become a frequent visitor of this course web site!
Grading Scale:
Percentage Grade (Honor Point Value)
Students who do not complete the coursework, but fail to officially withdraw from the course will receive an F or X depending on how much coursework has been completed. A grade of I will be available only if the student needs to complete at most the final exam and is only assigned for documented emergency situations.
Missed Work Makeup Policy: Makeup quizzes and lab will only be allowed in the event of a documented emergency or a physician certified illness. In all such cases, you must contact your Prof. Hassoun ASAP.
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory for all lectures and lab sessions. A student will lose 20 points (out of 100) for each unexcused missed lab (and the lab experiment must still be completed as arranged by the TA), and 1 percent (out of the total final score) for every unexcused absence from lectures. Arriving to class more than 5 min late, or leaving class early will count as an absence!
Very Important: Your Professor is known to be very strict when it comes to attendance and deadlines. He expects you to conduct yourself as a professional. Here are few examples:
- He does not accept assignments submitted on the due date after he starts the lecture.
- If he sets a submission date for an assignment (say bonus problem) to be received by email before 5:00 pm on a certain day and you submit at 5:01pm then he would not accept your submission.
- When taking a test if he announces the end of the test and that you need to turn in your work, but you continue to write then he will not accept your work and you will receive a zero.
- Arrive more than 5 minutes late to class and you will be counted absent and lose points (1% of your final average is subtracted for each unexcused absence.)
- In case of an emergency, you must email him about your absence before class and you must bring with you a legitimate documentation for your absence (e.g., doctor's note, court note, etc.)
Policy on cell phones and smart watches: It is very simple, switch it off and place it in your bag for the whole duration of the lecture.
During exams and the final exam: NO student will be allowed to leave the classroom for the duration of the exam (so, plan accordingly). Cell phones and smart watches must be powered off and placed in your back bag. You will have no access to your back bag once the exam starts.
Students with Disability: If you have a documented disability that requires accommodations, you will need to register with Student Disability Services for coordination of your academic accommodations. The Student Disability Services (SDS) office is located at 1600 David Adamany Undergraduate Library in the Student Academic Success Services department. SDS telephone number is 313-577-1851 or 313-577-3365 (TDD only). Once you have your accommodations in place, I will be glad to meet with you privately during my office hours to discuss your special needs. Student Disability Services' mission is to assist the university in creating an accessible community where students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to fully participate in their educational experience at Wayne State University. You can learn more about the disability office at: www.studentdisability.wayne.edu
Academic Misconduct: What every student should know
Cheating and Penalty for Cheating: Cheating is defined by the University as "intentionally using or attempting to use, or intentionally providing or attempting to provide, unauthorized materials, information, or assistance in any academic exercise." This includes any group efforts on assignments or exams unless specifically approved by the professor for that assignment or exam. Evidence of fabrication or plagiarism, as defined by the University in its brochure "Academic Integrity," will also result in downgrading for the course. Students who cheat on any assignment or during any examination will be assigned a failing grade for the course.
Prof. Hassoun's policy on cheating:
- All work submitted for grading must be 100% individual effort (unless otherwise told beforehand by your professor).
- The solutions to assignments (bonus problems and mini projects) might already be out there. Advice: Do not look at them, period.
- All work you submit for grading (assignments, lab reports, exams, projects and bonus problems) must be 100% your own effort. You understand that once you submit your work for grading then you are automatically certifying that the work is 100% yours. Upon grading your work, if cheating is detected (no matter how small) on an Exam then you will FAIL the course. On all other graded work, the first cheating incidence (no matter how small) by a student will earn that student a zero for that piece of work. The second offence is an automatic failure of the course.
- And yes, your professor monitors website such as Chegg.com Freelancer.com and others. Advice: Do not use such sites to cheat.

Great tips for those suffering with Plantar Fascitis. I would also suggest a frozen bottle of water to roll the foot over as part of the therapy. Maintaining proper alignment of the spine would greatly benefit as well.
Get Rid of Foot Pain For Good!Heel pain is very common, especially if there was ever an ankle injury or heel spur. That debilitating early morning pain will make you want to crawl from now on. Most heel pain is contributed to plantar fasciitis, which is inflammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot. This tissue is called the plantar fascia. It connects the heel bone to the toes and creates the arch of the foot. (medline plus) Common Symptoms:Sharp pain mostly in the morning, better as the day goes byHeel painToe painDifficulty walkingpossible ankle or leg pain #1: Massage the area of pain before taking your first stand in the morning. This helps to decrease the spasms caused throughout the night that creates that excruciating pain in the morning. #2:...Read More

In 1945, he returned to Germany's Soviet zone of occupation and organized the new political police in the service of the Communist party. In 1950, Mielke was named secretary of the Central Committee of the Socialist Unity party in charge of state security. In 1953, he moved to the ministry of the interior as deputy minister. Between 1955 and 1957, Mielke was appointed deputy minister of state security. He became minister of state security in 1957 and remained in that post until 1989. Mielke remained a member of the party's Central Committee and, in 1971, became a member of the Presidium of the party as a candidate (nonvoting) member. In 1976, he was promoted to full membership in that institution. In 1959, he was already colonel general and, in 1980, was promoted to General of the army. In 1991 he was arrested and was tried in a German court for crimes committed against the German people, especially for being responsible of shooting refugees at the East German-West German border. Originally, he was tried together with Erich Honecker (see Honecker Erich), but Honecker's case was dismissed because the aging former communist leader has terminal cancer.
Letgers Lyman H., ed. The German Democratic Republic: A Developed Socialist Society ( Boulder, CO, 1978).
Ministry of State Security. The major task of the ministry was the protection of the state from internal and external "subversion," using the term in the widest sense of its meaning. General of the Army Erich Mielke (see Mielke Erich) commanded the forces of the ministry throughout most of the existence of East Germany. The number of secret policemen was not known. The ministry also employed spies outside East Germany.
The Main Administration Reconnaissance, the body responsible for the direction of foreign intelligence, was especially interested in West Germany. Lieutenant General Markus Wolf headed this agency until the collapse of communism in East Germany. An extremely successful spymaster, Wolf succeeded in placing a spy even in Chancellor Willy Brandt's inner office. The unmasking of this spy led to the chancellor's resignation. But Wolf also had some spectacular failures. Defectors from the East German intelligence agencies often took reams of documents with them to the West, unmasking many operations directed by General Wolf. After the collapse of communism, Wolf sought--and received--asylum in Russia. He returned to Germany in 1992.
The security organs used large numbers of underground informers and were in constant and direct contact with the Soviet KGB. There were scores and scores of KGB agents in East Germany, and they operated as freely as if they were in their own country. In many cities during the 1989 demonstrations against communist rule, the demonstrators broke into the buildings of the security organs, ransacked their files, and took the files away. These files were freely distributed to the newspapers and the population.

The Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), a leading opponent of animal rights extremism, has filed a complaint with the IRS alleging that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is abusing its not-for-profit status to benefit the for-profit corporation, Whole Foods. Whole Foods CEO John Mackey sits on the HSUS Board of Directors.
The complaint alleges that HSUS is threatening food businesses with reprisals unless they procure their meats from the Global Animal Partnership (GAP), an organization set up by and largely funded by Whole Foods to "certify" humanely raised meat. HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle serves on the board of GAP. Whole Foods is reportedly paying the salaries of three GAP employees, including its Executive Director.
A story on the CCF website notes that HSUS appears to be acting as the "enforcer" by pressuring companies to buy only those products certified as "humane" by GAP, and available from Whole Foods. And, of course, HSUS and Whole Foods get to decide how "humane" is defined.
CCF concludes that the arrangement "smells rotten." We couldn't agree more. When you use your tax-exempt organization to grow the profits of a for-profit corporation run by one of your board members, in plain language–it stinks.

Correction: Ecstatic Dance is not an off-shoot of Techno Cosmic Mass, although they do share similar visions. Ecstatic Dance was started on the Big Island by Max Fathom in 2000, who had learned of Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms
and Conscious Dance through Body Choir in Austin, Texas, and successfully merged conscious dance with DJ culture. Donna and Tyler brought Ecstatic Dance from the Big Island to Oakland in 2008, and have combined the best of the SF music culture with the conscious dance scene at the Historic Sweet's Ballroom, rooting it in a solid community of like-minded movers.

Phase in sinusoidal functions or in waves has two different, but closely related, meanings. One is the initial angle of a sinusoidal function at its origin and is sometimes called phase offset or phase difference. Another usage is the fraction of the wave cycle that has elapsed relative to the origin.
The phase of an oscillation or wave refers to a sinusoidal function such as the following:
where , , and are constant parameters called the amplitude, frequency, and phase of the sinusoid. These functions are periodic with period , and they are identical except for a displacement of along the axis. The term phase can refer to several different things:
Refers to the periods of time during which a planet's surface reflects different amounts of sunlight, revealing different portions of the planet's surface from the perspective of a given point in space.
The two inferior planets, Mercury and Venus, which have orbits that are smaller than the Earth's, exhibit the full range of phases as does the Moon, when seen through a telescope. Their phases are "full" when they are at superior conjunction, on the far side of the Sun as seen from the Earth. (It is possible to see them at these times, since their orbits are not exactly in the plane of Earth's orbit, so they usually appear to pass slightly above or below the Sun in the sky. Seeing them from the Earth's surface is difficult, because of sunlight scattered in Earth's atmosphere, but observers in space can see them easily if direct sunlight is blocked from reaching the observer's eyes.) The planets' phases are "new" when they are at inferior conjunction, passing more or less between the Sun and the Earth. (Sometimes they appear to cross the solar disk, which is called a transit of the planet.) At intermediate points on their orbits, these planets exhibit the full range of crescent and gibbous phases.
In linguistics, the minimalist program (MP) is a major line of inquiry that has been developing inside generative grammar since the early 1990s, starting with a 1993 paper by Noam Chomsky.
Chomsky presents MP as a program, not as a theory, following Imre Lakatos's distinction. The MP seeks to be a mode of inquiry characterized by the flexibility of the multiple directions that its minimalism enables. Ultimately, the MP provides a conceptual framework used to guide the development of grammatical theory. For Chomsky, there are minimalist questions, but the answers can be framed in any theory. Of all these questions, the one that plays the most crucial role is this: why language has the properties it has. The MP lays out a very specific view of the basis of syntactic grammar that, when compared to other formalisms, is often taken to look very much like a theory.
The MP appeals to the idea that the language ability in humans shows signs of being incorporated under an optimal design with exquisite organization, which seems to suggest that the inner workings conform to a very simple computational law or a particular mental organ. In other words, the MP works on the assumption that universal grammar constitutes a perfect design in the sense that it contains only what is necessary to meet our conceptual and physical (phonological) needs.
Phase /feɪz/ is a UK-based rock band formed in Larissa, Greece in 2003. They made a digital single ("Perdition") for Microsoft's Playlist Seven program in Feb 2010, they released one album In Consequence in which Duncan Patterson, better known from his work with the British rock band Anathema, took part. According to Reverbnation's charts, Phase is ranked 1st nationwide in Greece. Phase climbed on #12 of Billboard's fastest rising acts powered by Next Big Sound in the week of June 14th 2012.
Phase was formed in 2003 and played intermittently until 2008 when they began recording their album In Consequence and performed at concerts. Soon after they had a functional line up they recorded Perdition which was the very first track Phase ever recorded to be later a part of Microsoft's Playlist 7 campaign.
Phase has been the subject of several alternative rock publications and has generally been well received by its critics. They have had interviews in various magazines and radiostations and have received praise for their shows.
In mathematics, and particularly category theory a coherence condition is a collection of conditions requiring that various compositions of elementary morphisms are equal. Typically the elementary morphisms are part of the data of the category.
Part of the data of a monoidal category is a chosen morphism , called the associator:
for each triple of objects in the category. Using compositions of these , one can construct a morphism
Actually, there are many ways to construct such a morphism as a composition of various . One coherence condition that is typically imposed is that these compositions are all equal.
Typically one proves a coherence condition using a coherence theorem, which states that one only needs to check a few equalities of compositions in order to show that the rest also hold. In the above example, one only needs to check that, for all quadruples of objects , the following diagram commutes
Two simple examples that illustrate the definition are as follows. Both are directly from the definition of a category.
In music, Rothenberg propriety is an important concept in the general theory of scales which was introduced by David Rothenberg in a seminal series of papers in 1978. The concept was independently discovered in a more restricted context by Gerald Balzano, who termed it coherence. The notion belongs to the class of concepts often, but misleadingly, termed diatonic set theory; in fact, as with most concepts of diatonic set theory, it applies far more widely than simply to the diatonic scale.
Rothenberg defined propriety in a very general context; however for nearly all purposes it suffices to consider what in musical contexts is often called a periodic scale, though in fact these correspond to what mathematicians call a quasiperiodic function. These are scales which repeat at a certain fixed interval higher each note in a certain finite set of notes. The fixed interval is typically an octave, and so the scale consists of all notes belonging to a finite number of pitch classes. If βi denotes a scale element for each integer i, then βi+℘ = βi + Ω, where Ω is typically an octave of 1200 cents, though it could be any fixed amount of cents; and ℘ is the number of scale elements in the Ω period, which is sometimes termed the size of the scale.
Parallels Desktop for Mac, by Parallels, is software providing hardware virtualization for Macintosh computers with Intel processors.
Parallels, Inc. is a developer of desktop and server virtualization software.
Released on June 15, 2006, it was the first software product to bring virtualization mainstream to Macintosh computers utilizing the Apple–Intel architecture (earlier software products ran PC software in an emulated environment).
Its name initially was 'Parallels Workstation for Mac OS X', which was consistent with the company's corresponding Linux and Windows products. This name was not well received within the Mac community, where some felt that the name, particularly the term "workstation," evoked the aesthetics of a Windows product. Parallels agreed: "Since we've got a great Mac product, we should make it look and sound like a Mac product...", it was therefore renamed 'Parallels Desktop for Mac'.
On January 10, 2007, Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac was awarded "Best in Show" at MacWorld 2007.

Hi Pablo,
Glad you like the client. Thank you for your patch. I will check it out shortly and get back to you.
Regards, Tamas
I'd been using lhttpc (great work!) with a minor patch that limits the number of simultaneous requests to a given endpoint. It has worked fine so far, but isn't really well tested outside my specific scenario.
Anyway, I thought it might come handy for others, or perhaps to include it on lhttpc if the patch is good enough.
The idea was to modify lhttpc_manager to delay the return of gen_server:calls for sockets if there are > MAX active clients at a given endpoint. It will return (either a valid socket or inform the client that is allowed to continue and open a new connection) only when one of the active clients finish.
The tricky part is how to detect that a client has finished the requests. The attached patch don't rely on 'done' messages (those are used to return a socket to the pool), but instead links to the client and uses the 'EXIT' messages to detect a finished client process.
cheers! pablo.
Hi Pablo,
Glad you like the client. Thank you for your patch. I will check it out shortly and get back to you.
Regards, Tamas
Hi Pablo,
Sorry for the late response. One of the developer of lhttpc is moving to another country so it took some time to discuss this.
We certainly agree that this is a nice feature to have however we would like to keep the lhttpc_manager as lightweight and simple as possible.
As this feature might not be necessary for all users of the library it would make sense to keep it separate from the manager and maybe even from the lhttpc:request/x functions.
Would you like to rewrite to patch into a separate module which would act like a simple semaphore? It could work something like this:
The down call would block if the max number of connections is reached. Of course the limiter would still need to link to the requester process which could die before releasing the semaphore.
If this becomes a widely used feature we could still roll it into the API of lhttpc later on (as an option perhaps).
Regards, Tamas
Hi, agree, lhttpc_manager was getting quite complex after the proposed changes. Your approach is certainly simpler :).

I discovered Wellness Bakeries by searching for a diabetic-safe cake. I am always looking for low carb recipes and foods. With Wellness Bakeries I met both of my requirements with just one company.
My favorite are your "Girl Scout Cookie" makeovers. So good! I also love the waffles made from Miracle Mix and I'm thrilled to finally be able to bake using a powdered sugar substitute (erythritol). I don't have to look any further to find the perfect sweets for my sweet tooth!

Global leader: Robert Hagerty, CEO, chairman and president
Local leader: Hansjoerg Wagner, VP and MD, Asia-Pacific
Core activity: Corporate communications, video-conferencing and voice communications
Revenue: US$1.1 billion (FY08 ended December 31)
Key customers: AAPT, New Zealand Telepaediatrics, Adobe Systems
Employees: 2600
Polycom axed 3 percent of its workforce or some 80 employees in 2009, citing a need to reinvest in strategic growth areas. The company is facing some problems with its go-to-market model, but analysts predict it has a bright future ahead of it with video-conferencing expected to take off over the next year or so. There has been some chatter that the financial crisis has pushed down airline prices as carriers attempt to hold onto holiday makers and business travellers alike, and that once airfare prices rebound video-conferencing will start to look a more attractive alternative.
Gartner has forecast that telepresence will replace 2.1 million airline seats a year by 2012.
In March, Polycom launched a new office in Perth, touted as the next phase in its expansion into Australia and New Zealand. The company's most recent annual report showed continuing growth at a rate of about 15 percent year-on-year. Revenue has also continued to increase in 2009. Rachael Bolton

If You Never Go Home
It's been a while since I last wrote an emo post. And I have swore off emo post for as long as possible because like a wise man once said, there's no use putting your sad face on the web. After all the internet is a stage in which you present youself to the world, and on a stage, you need to put up the best you need to perform. Which means only posts to show off, not to whine.
But every now and then, you feel the need to rant, to get the negative energy pent up in you. You feel like talking to your friends, and realizing none of them would be interested (because you have been notoriously branded as the immature emo guy). You turn to your diary, but gave up because it would involve you writing an incredibly long essay that will break your arm off, and you want someone to listen, even if it's through the false front of your blog. And so you fire up your computer, typing away.
I am not typing this in hopes of getting sympathy or response, but I guess there's really no use explaining my motive, so a word of caution here. If you absolutely loathe my emo posts in the past, it would be advisable to click that big red X on your browser now and return to wherever happy place that you came from. Keep making that bird fly on your screen, or look through the latest gossips on the web, maybe watch some latest K-Pop videos, or shoot some aliens on your screen. No need to burden yourself with another man's writing. No need to ruin an otherwise fine day. You have been cautioned.
But if you're interested, do step right ahead. I don't know where this post will take you as I let my words flow, and I too hope that it will be a pleasant journey.
Speaking of journeys, this post was particularly conceived during such a journey. Specifically a journey to my home that is not a home, a sentence that is inspired by a book that I was reading during that journey, "You don't know me" by David Klass. Borrowing from his style, that home is not a home because homes are supposed to be a place to look forward to go back everyday, a place where you find comfort from the everyday stressors of life, a place where familiar faces greet you with love. But the place that I call home have none of those. The only face that greets me every night as I reach home is my bed and the only reason that I look forward to going to the home that is not a home because the bed feels more comfortable than the curb on the sidewalk.
I was standing in a sea of people that does not feel like a sea of people at all in my journey. In fact, they could all be trees or rocks with cellphones tied to them and it would not make a difference. They may look like humans, smell like humans, but don't be fooled. All of them were standing there, unmoving during their entire journey, and only when they reach their destination did the gravity outside of the train get stronger, finally yanking them out from the place in which they have comfortably rooted themselves in. And is that me I spot standing there together with the rest, swaying with them as the train jerks forward and backward, like how grass would sway when blown by wind?
And yes, that was me in fact, a book in hand, reading a story about a boy called John, who has an equally if not more miserable life, faced with an abusive step dad and no one to understand him, living in isolation with nothing to look forward to, except an imagination to accompany him. The me with the book suspects that the author called the boy John so that it would be easier for normal people to relate to John, to step into John's shoes, but the me with the book was not convinced. John after all, despite all his awkwardness and social ineptitude, still has someone to love him, a girl that took a liking to him even though she has absolutely no reason to, and that was something the me with a book cannot relate to. Because after all, having someone like you despite all your shortcomings does not happen in real life, but rather in movies and books with an happily ever after ending. They are an escapism to make you feel good, an illusion.
The me in the book took out the vibrating handphone from the pocket for a while, and began to think about about another question, borne out an ongoing conversation that is happening in the phone. What if today the me decides to step out of the train, goes to somewhere remote and kill myself there? Would anyone would have noticed? Or rather how long would it take for anyone to notice that I had not return home?
To avoid telling an overly long story, the me with the phone came to a sad but inevitable conclusion. That it may take a while before someone seriously starts asking questions about my whereabouts, should the me decided to take a step off the train into the unknown. I might be even be gone for a week, and no one will really notice until perhaps the need to pay my house rent arises or when work needs to be done. Me only will be missed when there's something that me should give, the me in the train decided.
The me then decided to ask the question whether it is really worth worrying about oneself, if it's really worth the effort to continue living when there's not a single soul who care about me's existence.
Unexpectedly, the voice of reason and comfort came from the most unlikely of source. In the form of a book, seen through the eyes of a certain John, penned by David Klass. To suicide is to surrender without terms, John reasoned, facing even the bleakest of situation, when he was whipped by his step-dad and forced to work in the cold. And to surrender without terms is the most cowardly option out. An army needs to fight until the last breathe in order to survive, and hope may not always seem visible.
And even in the darkest of moments, there are momentary bright moments that pierces through the loneliness and bleakness that the particular darkness may bring, as in John's case a saxophone player with brown eyes, a queer music teacher who gave him a chance with the tuba, or a mum that plays make believe with him during his hospital stay. Maybe the me with the phone needs to learn how to treasure these moments too, despite how transcendence or short they may be, for example the night where he stood beneath the exploding fireworks counting down new year, the thank you that he got from the his workplace from a grateful parent or the smiles that he used to get a long time ago, from a special person who looks forward to meeting him every night without fail. Those moments are damn worth waiting for, as David Klass, through the words of John said, and perhaps the me in the phone need to start appreciating them more as they come by, and not to mind too much about the gaps in between.
Perhaps so. Perhaps there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps there's not. But the only way to find out is to get to the end of the tunnel first, and not to give up halfway in the tunnel.
