The mysterious, world-wide decline in populations of frogs, toads and salamanders - which has been puzzling and alarming biologists at least since 1989 - might be the result of increased solar radiation leaking through a thinned ozone shield. When researchers announced that possibility two weeks ago [in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences], many news reports left the alarming impression than an increase in ultraviolet radiation was clearly threatening the world's amphibians. In fact, no such long-term increase has been observed.
Moreover, the biologist who made the headlines believes that another cause is just as likely: An amphibian-killing fungal disease has been spreading throughout the world's aquatic habitats and is known to be killing off at least one species.
And, the Oregon State University scientist says, it is possible that both factors are at work, not to mention still other causes resulting from various forms of environmental degradation.
``We know it can't be as simple as UV because some of the species that are declining lay their eggs in shaded waters,'' says Andre R. Blaustein. ``There's got to be other causes.''
From the frogs' point of view, the difference between being fried by UV and
wiped out by fungi is doubtless acadmic, but not for us. We thinned the ozone,
after all. Of the two possible simplification of the story, the one which
caught on was the one which pandered to apolcalypticism - and a sense of human
power and importance.
I will put Chaos into fourteen lines
And keep him there; and let him thence escape
If he be lucky; let him twist, and ape
Flood, fire, and demon - his adroit designs
Will strain to nothing in the strict confines
Of this sweet order, where, in pious rape,
I hold his essence and amorphous shape,
Till he with Order mingles and combines.
Past are the hours, the years of our duress,
His arrogance, our awful servitude:
I have him. He is nothing more nor less
Than something simple not yet understood;
I shall not even force him to confess;
Or answer. I will only make him good.
Such beliefs are taken to their logical and hilarious conclusion by the
Church of the SubGenius (though admittedly no one has every figured out if
they're entirely serious). It nicely illustrates points made below: despite a
lack of formal hierarchy and coordination, SubGenii make ingenious and
persistent use of both the symbolic media (especially the
and the aural media (public-access cable, Church-produced videos which
circulate among members) to spread the Church across the United States and
beyond. See Kinney, and the Bible
of the Church, The Book of the
``Just as the people of our century were the first to find beauty in a machine - even in a well-polished piece of a machine - so the new physics was the first science to provide images of spectra and tracks of particles which can be hung on the wall like pictures.''Images sometimes migrate from the symbolic to the aural culture, shedding their meaning along the way. Fractals, for instance, after beginning on the border between mathematics and physics, became a folk art of the computer-literate, and then a decorative motif among the devotees of ``alternative'' music, appearing prominently among the icons of the well-publicized Lollapalooza festivals. The last transition was eased by the resemblence between some fractals, tie-dyes and patterns common in psychedelic art. Indeed, I was told fractals were psychedelic art by people wearing and selling tee-shirt showing Mandelbrot and Julia sets at the 1992 Lollapalooza.
- Jacques Barzun, The Energies of Art, p. 356.
The related tradition of blending science and edifying non sequiturs has a peculiar and interesting history, not the least because it has been encouraged by eminent scientists - not those published by Bantam, who strangely enough tend to uncompromising rationalism, but such luminaries of the early twentieth century as Sir Arthur Eddington and Sir James Jeans. In books like New Pathways in Science and Philosophy and Physics they first floated such staples of pop science as the notion that ``the new physics'' ends the conflict between science and religion, proves the existence of God, the soul, free will, and other metaphysical treasures which were as pearls cast before swine as far as the old physics was concerned, and that relativity, or the uncertainty principle, requires a radical revision of the concept of scientific knowledge, if not its complete abandonment. That other physicists reached no such conclusions - much less criticism by philosophers, such as L. Susan Stebbing's Philosophy and the Physicists - did nothing to uproot these notions.
Recently, chaos theory, non-equilibrium thermodynamics
and other sciences of complexity have spawned a similar outburst - about the
deaths of reductionism, of ``linear'' thinking, yea, even of ``the Cartesian
ideal of knowledge as privileged in and by the Western philosophical
discourse'' - with Prigogine in a role analogous to that of Eddington or Jeans.
Le roi est mort, vive le roi!
Norman Cohn's
Pursuit of the Millennium is a fascinating history of European
apocalyptic movements from the later Hebrew prophets through the early
seventeenth century; I have borrowed his ideas shamelessly. (I have not yet
had a chance to read his Cosmos,
Chaos and the World to Come, where he attempts to find the roots
of apocalypticism in Zoroaster's modification of archaic combat myths.) Some
of the later mutations of the idea are traced by
For the role of mysticism in furthering the progress of science, see Needham, pp. 86-100, and the references therein.
I am forced to note that psychedelics are endemic in Silicon Valley and its cultural satellites; but by their own account, these people are into drugs for the same reason they are into computers, viz., kicks.

Each month, the Ray Lemon Bar in Germany unveils a four course menu and invites the many influential people in the local food industry to sample its cuisine. However, staying innovative and fresh is just as important in the kitchen as it is with marketing and branding.
Located in the quaint town of Heilbronn, the Lemon Ray Bar in Germany is known for excellent local cuisine and a modern atmosphere. Every month, the restaurant invites local foodies to sample its latest culinary creations. However, making great food doesn't necessarily guarantee a response from the most cultured critics. To gain more publicity for this month's event, the restaurant distributed hundreds of personalized, hand-made invitations. The design agency Leib Und Seele were commissioned to develop the communication materials for the event.
Replete with a yellow/gray colorway, and filled with spices, the combination of color, materials and folds in the invitations articulate the crafted nature of the food and the opportunity taken to reinforce the brand's values.

The Ray Lemon Bar in Germany Sends Delicious Invites

Café des Fédérations was another revisit on our recent trip to Lyon. And, after four years, not much has changed, except that it is more popular than ever, but they have expanded to accommodate the influx of patrons. They now own the restaurant next door and the one across the road. Thankfully, the food is just as good, and the pig is still on the toilet.
Café des Fédérations should be on the itinerary of any first-time visitor to Lyon, the gourmet capital of France. So it was that on a cold and wet Tuesday, we found ourselves in a narrow laneway surrounded by graffiti-covered walls and uncollected rubbish, and looking for the most famous Bouchon in Lyon, the Café des Fédérations.
We found it hidden among several other eateries in this unpretentious setting. We had arrived just before Midday. The street was deserted, and although the lights were on in the Café des Fédérations and the tables were set, no sign of life was evident inside. The door had no handle, so we were prevented from entering.
Chez Paul, opposite the Café des Fédérations, showed some life when a tourist bus disgorged its cargo of German tourists. We were hungry, but the thought of sharing a meal with a bunch of noisy tourists on long communal tables did not impress us. So we decided to wait and see if life existed across the road.
Eventually, three women entered via a side door located on an even narrower side street. Finally, a hand protruded from the front door and discreetly attached the missing door handle. Apparently, this action was the signal to enter.
Inside was a welcome escape from the rain. With its banquette seating, paper tablecloths, red and white checkered napkins, and the ubiquitous sausages hanging from the ceiling, Café des Fédérations is a most fitting introduction to the traditions of a Bouchon.
The Bouchon tradition came from small inns visited by silk traders passing through Lyon in the 17th and 18th centuries. History is a little confused as to the origins of the name bouchon and to what constitutes an authentic Bouchon.
Les Authentiques Bouchons Lyonnais and Les Bouchon Lyonnais certify those eateries that meet certain standards and comprise among its members some of the best Bouchons. Needless to say, much rivalry, if not animosity, exists between these two accrediting organisations. Of course, membership can change. Certifications can be given, taken back, and passed on to new owners.
Establishments with the certification are expected to provide a typical Bouchon experience. However, that does not imply that places without the certification cannot offer a similar experience. Of the almost three thousand restaurants in Lyon, only about forty can claim to have met the standards of either one of the two accrediting organisations. At best, the accreditation should help you avoid the fakes. Look for the above logos, or check the websites for the accreditation lists. Authentique Bouchon Lyonnais or Les Bouchon Lyonnais
The logos depict Gnafron, a character from Guignol, Lyon's answer to Punch and Judy. The Guignol Puppet Show is an institution in Lyon and was created early in the 1800s by a dentist who distracted his patients with puppets. Gnafron's rosy cheeks identify him as a lover of Beaujolais, and he is an excellent choice for the mascot of Bouchons.
The key to a Bouchon is the food, atmosphere and setting: home-made family cuisine, traditional Lyonnaise food (aka offal), a warm welcome and a typical Lyon ambience in a historic setting. Pork is the star in most dishes, and the head-to-tail philosophy is well alive in a Bouchon, so you better be up for sampling offal in all shapes, colours, and textures (beef tongue, tripe, sausages, pork cheeks).
The pig pictured in Café des Fédérations' logo, and the mural of a pig sitting on the toilet reading a newspaper signalled what was to come. The menu confirmed our suspicions. Bouchons are not places for vegetarians or cholesterol-challenged hearts. 'Fill your innards with innards' is the Bouchon motto.
We were first in, but two men with limited French soon joined us. The fun of a Bouchon is that you don't get to choose who will be sitting next to you. Ruth acted as interpreter, and we soon found out these two men came from our hometown of Sydney, Australia. What a coincidence! Their company enhanced the casual atmosphere of this Bouchon. Café des Fédérations is not for posers. Conversation and food are both hearty and casual.
Without asking, some entrees were placed on our table, consisting of two types of sliced sausage with gherkins, caviar de la croix rousse, a puy lentil dish in a tart cream dressing and a celeriac salad. Moorish and delicious!
I settled for civet de joue de porc (Pork cheek stew), a simple dish of pork cheeks (served steaming hot in its pot), potatoes and gravy. It may not seem much, but it was very filling with the meat melting in my mouth. This dish was the highlight of my visit.
Ruth had tablier de sapeur (fried beef stomach with gribiche sauce). A tablier de sapeur is actually a cowhide leather apron that used to be worn by soldiers to do heavy work. Ruth can attest that it was as tough as leather (she requested a steak knife to cut it. I suggested a hammer and chisel). But, she accepted the challenge graciously and ate it all.
Tarte aux pralines roses (a pink praline tart) was our choice for dessert. This is much different to the dark pralines that we have had in New Orleans. You can see pink praline desserts everywhere in Lyon.
Lyon deserves its title of the gourmet capital of France. The quality of its produce is readily evident in the menu of Cafe des Federations. Not only did we enjoy great food and wine, but it was also inexpensive. With a couple of glasses of wine, our bill came to under €50.00.

Pakistan said on Thursday that it condemns "killing of innocent Kashmiris, adding "bloodshed of innocent Kashmiris under state terrorism in Indian occupied Kashmir is continuing".
"Over 100 have been injured in last few days, which include victims of pellet guns, who lost their eye-sight forever. They have mercilessly and deliberately targeted children, women and old age people, which we deplore," Pakistan foreign ministry spokesman Nafees Zakaria said in a press briefing.
"International Community should take note and call India to account for the crimes against humanity committed by its forces in IOK on Kashmiris. I acknowledge the Kashmiri Civil Society, Kashmiri media and our own media's important role in exposing Indian atrocities in IoK," he said.
Zakaria said that on 27 March 2017, Pakistan Embassy Berlin arranged Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan's briefing on Kashmir at an event.
A delegation of British Parliamentarians is visiting Pakistan and Pakistan administered Kashmir in connection with Kashmir issue and to gather information on "human rights violations in Kashmir perpetrated by the Indian forces", the spokesman said.
"Members of civil society and Human Rights activists have been undertaking activities to sensitize people on the grave human rights situation in IOK," he added.

You could not simply set the inverter for constant voltage output, because you would also need to manage the array voltage so that the power output of the array would match the power consumption of the load.
This might simply 'magically' work if the array voltage is being bucked in the inverter to produce output. If you are on the part of the power curve where current drops if voltage increases (out of the part of the IV curve where the array looks like constant current) then if the load drops, the array voltage will go up and its power will go down. Sounds reasonably stable to me.
If you are on the constant current part of the power curve, then you need an inverter that can deal with the fact that the system is _unstable_; if the output power drops, then the array voltage will increase leading to more power from the array. You would either need a dump resistor, or be very very smart about quickly increasing output voltage (slightly, still in tolerance) to increase output power faster than array power is increasing, and get back to the target steady point.
Hmm. I think I know which part of the power curve I would use

Don't you think the very word "Goole" sounds kind of unpleasant - like an ailment or a secret body part.One of my brothers was born there. Maybe they should rename it Goldendale, Green Acres or Springfield. Something nice....Mollyville?ReplyDelete
I've missed you YP! I don't think a change of name will do any good for Goole. It is what it is. Anyway,we had a fab time in the Cotwolds and the New Forest so that more than made up for the depressing day in Goolie.ReplyDelete
Burford is lovely, we had our honeymoon weekend there oh about 25 years agoReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for dropping in Bambibasher. This is the second time we've visited Burford. We love it too.Delete

I love to do house blocks even though I haven't done one in ages. They are a great way to use up funky scraps;) Your girl looks great too;) I saw that book in Hastings today. I just got done reading the Journeyer. 1000 pages of big words and lots of interesting historical facts put into a fictional work. Fun.ReplyDelete
Happy Quilting!!
Your blocks are brilliant. I'm always looking out for good books to read - I'll be checking out this one for summer reading, especially if there's more than one! JuliexReplyDelete

There was a virtuoso performance from St Bees captain Gavin Beasley in the National Schools Under-18 Cup.
Beasley, a member of the England 17 Group training squad, scored two tries and five conversions as the Cumbrians book their place in the third round against Penrith side QEGS with a 45-3 win over Trinity, Carlisle.
There were also tries for Laurie Zhang, Philip Baker, Christopher Tynan, Michael Garstang and Richard Lewin.
East Durham and Houghall Community College enjoyed a 25-12 win over Yarm School, Jason Elliott scoring two tries, David Lowes and Anthony Caine one, John McFarlane adding a conversion and a penalty.
* NEWCASTLE Falcons 2nd XV fielded a formidable second team againts Leeds Tykes last night at Kingston Park and it's hardly surprising they won 51-3 scoring eight tries in the process.
First team squad members Dave Walder, Epi Taione, James Grindal, Phil Dowson, Craig Hamilton, Mark Wilkinson, Dave Wilson and Matt Thompson were joined by Tynedale guesting duo Paul Boston and Jamie Murray.
It was pretty much one-way stuff from the start with Wilson crashing over and then Walder's break opening the door for Dowson before Thompson and Taione were driven over from close range for a 24-3 half-time lead.
Toby Flood's great run set up a try for Wilkinson and then Jonny Williams was driven over in a fearsome forward charge to make it 39-3 and a very impressive pick up off his toes saw Martyn Bray score before Dowson peeled away from a scrum for his second to bring up the 50.
* NEWCASTLE - Tries: Wilson, Dowson (2), Thompson, Taione, Wilkinson, Williams, Bray. Conversions: Walder (2), Flood (2). Penalties: Walder. LEEDS - Penalties: Rock.

I missed blogging last night because I got home very late again. I headed out to another late meeting, just to get out of the house. Damn Left Side and Right Side -- will they ever just let me be?
I've been smacked with a number of Life Slaps lately. I can't figure out who's doing the smacking, me or the Universe; ether way, they're usually harder than I like, but as hard as they need to be.
I have a friend, who I'll refer to as ZJ from now on, who has this simply amazing ability to sense when something needs to be attended to. I've never heard her take credit for it, either -- she always tells me that, "The Universe [or God, she'll sometimes say] directs me to do [or say] something, so I do." She never seems to question the reason nor the outcome, she simply accepts that it is what needs to be done, so she obliges and moves forward. What makes me believe her statement whole heartedly is that out of nowhere, without me ever saying anything to her, she sends me affirmations, or information, or quotes or what have you, and they always somehow fit what is going on directly at that moment in my life. It's uncanny in her ability to do this!
She's listened to some of the struggles (complaints?) in my life (I feel bad for her, because my "issues" are always so petty), and one day she suggested a wonderful book by the author Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass. In the book, Ms. Sincero talks a lot about acceptance. Acceptance of who we are, what we are, where we're at, right now. There are many more awesome things that she discusses, like the vibrations of the Universe, and what we want; but you'll have to get her book to read up on that. I'm not going to do a book report here or rewrite her book for you -- she did a wonderful job of writing it, so go buy the book, it's worth every damn cent. After your purchase, actually read it.
If your anything like me, and you can't concentrate on reading for long periods, or you simply haven't got a lot of time, then do what I've been doing: read one chapter per day. No more, no less. Just one. I have found that by reading just before bedtime, and sleeping on it, that it sinks in pretty good. Then I start my day off with a meditation based on "Becoming What I Believe," and I'm usually pretty good to go (though there are days I wonder). But I digress...
I mention ZJ and Ms. Sincero because they both have things in common with each other, like trusting the Universe, or the Source Energy. And strangely -- so do The Rooms. Why am I just now finding the connections?
Release and Accept
This has been a very difficult thing for me to do, to relinquish control and accept that I have little to no power over "it." I still don't know why I have a hard time with that, but I do. For some reason, I feel like, "If things were just to go this way, or that way, I'll be okay." As though I'll be able to keep it together and then things won't fall apart. But I've tried that -- for years.
Then there's simply holding on for dear life, the Fear of Letting Go. This is more like what I've been going through lately. If I let go, then what will happen? Believe me, Left Side and Right Side have theories of their own, and frankly -- they terrify me, right into locking up, halting Life, freezing cold in my tracks.
The past can't be changed, and revisiting it isn't going to predict the outcome of future events. By hanging on to this old feeling and worry, I get a false sense of security that I am safe; but from what?
On a more recently related topic, Loneliness.
According to Ms. Sincero, if I am focusing on certain aspects in my life, I am very much attracting them to myself (read the book, it gives great insight into this). I've felt alone all my life. I mean, I've got my family (which I will explain in a different blog at some point), but that's entirely different than "friends," who choose to accept the other person, and unlike family, who love you because they "have to, we're family."
So if I focus solely on my loneliness (past or present) rather than release it and accept it, two things simultaneously happen:
- I feel bad because it is a sad thing that I've never really had a good friend I could trust or count on. This means that I am in a current state of unhappiness, aka -- miserable.
- I "put out vibes" that say, "Let me be, I want to be alone." Even if that's not what I really want, that's what I'm saying -- and the Universe listens, and she leaves me alone.
Therefore, I feel bad because A) I'm thinking about it (aka: wallowing in my own misery), and B) people stay away, because I look like I don't want to be bothered, and the Universe doesn't try to help, because I've told her not to.
How do I break this self-destructive cycle, and fix it so it perpetuates in a desirable way? Like maybe, being happy?
Release it - and Accept it
It really is that simple (and as I've stated before, I didn't say easy).
Releasing doesn't mean ignoring. Acknowledgement of the issue is an important part of Release. It's like digging for change in our pocket full of stuff, trying to get out that one quarter. But now we've got a fistful of stuff we don't want. We can't feel that quarter, so we just want to let it go; but we need the quarter that we are sure is there, so we hold on. It's here that we realize we're going to have to release every piece from our hand, one by one; recognize it what it is (or what it isn't), and then let it go. Otherwise, we will drop the quarter we're so desperately searching for, or be faced with handful of stuff we do not need falling all over the place and creating a new issue. We may have to acknowledge and release several times, but with enough time, we will let go of every unwanted thing we were hanging onto except the one we need; the quarter.
But along with releasing the unnecessary junk, we must accept the situation for what it is. When we finally get our hand out of our pocket, and we realize that the quarter isn't actually a quarter, but a nickel, we can either go back and start digging around again for a quarter that simply doesn't exist, or we can accept that it is nickel. It is in acceptance that we realize we can't change what it is; a nickel. But we could ask a friend for a quarter, or nickels or dimes -- if we haven't put them off through our negative vibes already.
The reality is, I can either remain in the past and be miserable, putting off vibes warning people that I'm no fun to be around, or I can release my past, accept it for what it was, and move into Now. Be thankful for what I do have and those that are around me, starting with my family and new friends. Immediately, I will put off vibes to the Universe that I am grateful for what I've got, which puts me in a place where I'm ready to receive (not take). Not to mention that I am no longer signaling to people that I want to be left alone because I'm so damn grumpy and pathetic.
Suddenly, I may not even have to ask for a quarter; I just might be offered one.

Once you've received your brand new visa, you have to actually arrive in the UK. I was nervous. Again. Can you see a pattern?
What if they don't believe me? What if I forgot something and I get turned away at the border? What if something's wrong with my visa?
This is stupid. Stop.
When you land (both the first time and any other time) you need to fill out an immigration landing card just like every other non-EU/UK person. You'll get this on the plane so make sure to bring a pen and fill it out while you're flying.
Once landed, you'll line-up with all non-EU/UK people (again, as normal) to see an immigration officer.
When they call you up, you'll need to provide your passport and landing card and let them know you're arriving for the first time on your Tier 5 visa. They'll ask to scan your fingers to make sure they match their records. You won't have your Biometric Residence Permit yet, so they may remind you that you'll need to pick it up as soon as possible. Once you have this card, guard it with your life! It shows you're allowed to live and work in the UK and has your photo and signature. It's great as photo ID if you don't get a UK driving license.
I was asked a few questions by the officer, (did I have a job lined up, whereabouts would I be living, etc). That was it. All over. I walked through and onto my new adventure!
When you return back to the UK from holidays or trips home, you'll need to present your Biometrics Residence Permit along with your landing card and passport. They'll ask a few questions (or not), scan your fingers and off you go. I was worried that they might think I would stay in the UK, since I didn't have any return flights booked to Canada. This isn't the case until you're nearing the very end of your visa.
You've survived! Now get some proper breakfast and get moving!

Global A Go-Go presents:
Lovers rock is the flip side of roots reggae: it's romantic rather than dangerous, sunny instead of stormy. It grew out of Jamaicans' love of American soul music. They say all soul songs can be broken down into three categories: Beg, Scream and Shout. Lovers rock is reggae's "Beg" songs.
The genre got its name and some fame in London in the mid 70's (it was tagged after a record label which got its own handle from an obscure Augustus Pablo B-side), but the sound predates the name and continues to be popular today. Importantly, lovers rock was the avenue by which many female singers were able to break into the male-dominated Jamaican music business.
For Valentine's Day, I'll spin a full hour of some of my favorite lovers rock tracks. Also this week: the man who got Mali dancing the twist and the Madison, and a set of samba-funk from Brazil.

Strictly speaking, Compagnie des Batobus isn't a sightseeing-boat company. It's more like a bus line, with glass-enclosed trimaran boats that offer "hop on, hop off" service at eight stops along the Seine. From these locations, you can easily reach many of the city's sights.
Batobus boats run year-round, with frequencies of 20 minutes (summer) to 30 or 45 minutes (winter).
Instead of point-to-point tickets, Batobus sells one- and two-day passes, plus an annual pass for Parisians and long-term visitors. You can ride as often as you like during the validity period.
Discounts are available to holders of student cards and certain public-transportation cards (including Nagivo). Batobus also sells a two-day "Paris a la Carte" pass that is valid on both the boats and L'Opentour "hop on, hop off" sightseeing buses. Children under 3 ride free.
Tour Eiffel, Musée d'Orsay, Saint-Germain-des-Pres, Nôtre-Dame, and Jardin des Plantes on the Left Bank; Hôtel de Ville, Louvre, and Champs-Elysées on the Right Bank. (The route is circular, with all boats going in the same direction.)

The chronicles of my Watson year abroad in Asia and Europe and my attempts to understand Chinese music in its various manifestations outside the Mainland.

Paris Adventures Part Two (I'm not gonna be one of those guys who writes Part Deux, ok?)
Technical difficulties delayed last week's post but double post this week to make up for it!
Parisian Dinners
So I left off last time reminiscing about a dinner I had with a couple from Taiwan, living in Paris. They busted out their fiddle and piano skills and we had a good time jamming. The dinner conversation was also amazing. Usually when I talk to people in Taiwan they can throw in some English words once in awhile, and enjoy doing so to spice up the conversation. But I quickly found that most of the native Chinese speakers I met across Europe had had their English skills absolutely obliterated by their required fluency in this third language, be it French or, later in my travels, German. The only exceptions to this obliteration of previously learned languages are Italian music words like mezzo forte.
The dinner was repeated the next week but this time they invited a dizi player to come too. He told me that he performed with a dance troupe, but besides his part, all of the instrument sounds in the dance music were not only prerecorded, but synthesized. He was very religious, enough so that for reasons I never figured out, he could not eat the cake I brought for dessert. He played dizi, shao, and hulusi pieces which I recorded and will post as soon as someone shows me what it is that I'm doing wrong that it takes over 24 hours to download a single video. I'm so helpless with technology :( After one of the hosts spontaneously accompanied him on the piano, the meal concluded with more political talk which a second glass of wine made me too sleepy to follow.
So in Paris I had found Chinese musicians who teach individuals to play by themselves. Their motives being the continuation of tradition. I had also found a musician and dancers who perform for Buddhist ceremonies and holidays. But playing flute over electronic music, despite its Buddhist routes still lacked that sense of community I was hoping for where people play together, where music acts as a form of communication.
A talk with an ethnomusicologist at Paris 8 University (which is the right translation for that University even though it sounds like 123 Fake Street) told me that this is really all I could hope to find in Paris. She suspected, but had no statistics to confirm, that Chinese in Paris were more likely to be musicians than the general population of China or Taiwan, but that the types of people who uproot and move here aren't really the kind that play in a community. Chinese who play Classical music, those are the ones that form communities. The Chinese music playeres are loners and weirdos. I suggested independent as a better term. The ethnomusicologist in question was born in the Mainland but moved to Paris when she was just 4 years old and studied Renaissance music in order to create historically informed performances. Our conversation was held in English. I decided that I didn't like her attitude about Chinese immigrants.
THE Julia Weisman!
Before abandoning Paris for a different location, I was visited by my fellow Carl, Julia Weisman! She is teaching English (isn't everybody?) to Elementary Schoolers in St. Dié (thus the amazing title of her blog, St. Die Another Day). But on Saturday she took the morning train to Paris and met me at the metro stop in Chinatown. Tree also joined us as I was to follow him back to his Rock and Jazz School in Freiburg to take some classes and have free housing in a centrally located spot while I figured out what to do next. The three of us had a blast as we bumbled around Paris together.
We first went to Tree's FAAAAVORITE restaurant in Europe. It's in Little Tokyo and the waiters always think that Tree is Japanese and tell him stuff which he doesn't understand. Sometimes I understand the basic stuff and translate to Chinese for him which sufficiently confuses everyone. But we had Julia with us today which meant that we had a French translator! I marveled as Julia ordered and effortlessly produced voiceless uvular fricatives and spewed non-aspirated voiceless plosives with convincing French nonchalance.
After we walked off our giant steaming bowls of ramen (which absolutely hit the spot after walking around in the chilly Parisian weather), we found ourselves in front of the main goal of the day (besides having fun and eating good food, of course). The goal was a store called Thanksgiving. There Julia was going to buy some final ingredients to create her Thanksgiving meal. I also wanted to go to buy Jiffy instant corn bread muffin mix because after 5 months abroad that was what I missed most. There were lots of other tempting things like cans of refried beans and tortillas. When asked what I miss most about home, I always swiftly reply Mexican food. People think I'm kidding and I'm just covering for a more serious answer like family or friends or my house but in all honesty I miss Mexican food the most. Tobasco, chili pepper and cheese are just not tastes you can get easily in Taiwan or Europe. Besides, friends and family can send me emails and keep in touch. Mexican food cannot.
Since a can of beans is about 5 euros I pass on my plans of a Mexican Thanksgiving and just stick with my muffin mix. Julia told me she too was shocked at the prices. "How can they charge 9 euros for a small bag of Ree C's Pee C's?" "You mean Reese's Pieces? Why the hell do you say it like that? It sounds like feces." She claims that I am wrong and that the original Reese pronounced his name utilizing two syllables. I maintain however that it is better to not say it right and avoid the acoustic reminder of excrement. Just like how that wench changed her name in Robin Hood: Men in Tights to the French-sounding Latrine from the original more Germanic, Shithouse.
Speaking of which, it is impossible to use a toilet in Europe for free. Restaurants and cafes have codes that are switched up more frequently than vault codes in banks. When you gotta go and you're just walking around town, it might cost you a 5 euro coffee to get in there. But hey when you gotta go. . . Sometimes I've played up the dumb foreigner act and just charged in jumping and clutching at my groin. This usually does the trick in smaller shops since they would prefer to let me urinate for free in the doobluh-vay-say than to have to clean up the mess themselves. But for larger places like McDonalds, the jump 'n' clutch doesn't cut it. Okay, end of tangent.
Hunched Over at Quasimodo's
After resting our feet in the only free seating we could find, Notre Dame, the three of us decided we needed food! We wandered through all of Chinatown until Tree had found us a satisfactory place. I like Chinatown in Paris because it seems to be mainly Mandarin speakers so I can use Chinese and not have to worry about stupid French. After very authentic stinky toufu, kungpao chicken, spicy fragrant eggplant, and egg drop soup, we went to see RED which was the only movie we could find that wasn't playing in French. The movie theater turned out to be in a really amazing walkway with festive lights hanging over our heads. Photo op! Again Paris is disgustingly beautiful.
Apparently I look super confident or probably just approachable or something because on our walk home multiple people approached me specifically and asked me for directions. I usually don't have any idea where I am and just always leave 3 extra hours to get lost, so the fact that someone mistook me for a competent navigator struck my companions and me as hilarious. Oddly though, the person who knows Paris the best is Tree, since he is a competent navigator and has visited many times while studying in Germany. So when a lady asked in French how to get somewhere, Julia translated to English, I translated to Chinese, Tree thought for a moment, told me in Chinese, I told Julia in English, Julia translated to French. I seriously doubt that the end directions were accurate, but at least we all felt useful and good about ourselves for out intended benevolence.
Crossing the Rubicon
We all crashed in a hotel room that night until our morning trains to St. Die for Julia, and Freiburg, Germany for Tree and me. Julia left before Tree and I woke up and just left a note on the bedstand. On the bedstand. Like a hooker. Why Julia, why? According to the note she is not big on good byes.
In any case, after recharging my batteries on pastries and wine, I felt ready to tackle more of Europe and to actually play music instead of just talking about it. And finally after leaving Paris this happened. Coming up in the next post: My completely unbelievable adventures with Mongolian Throat singers/Rock banders Hanggai!

Patients with HPV-positive tumors had a two-year survival of 95% compared with 62% for those with HPV-negative tumors, Maura L. Gillison, M.D., Ph.D., of Johns Hopkins, and colleagues reported online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
HPV-positive tumors had a significantly higher response rate to induction chemotherapy (P=0.01) and to chemoradiation therapy (P=0.007) and the risk of disease progression was 73% lower.
"Our data suggest that the risks and benefits of intensive combined modality therapies should be considered separately for HPV-positive and -negative patients," the authors concluded.
"Tumor HPV status or an appropriate clinical surrogate … should now be included as a stratification factor for clinical trials that include oropharyngeal cancer patients," they concluded.
HPV infection occurs in 40% to 60% of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Several retrospective studies have demonstrated improved prognosis in patients with HPV-positive head and neck cancer, but the observations had not been confirmed in prospective clinical trials that controlled for factors of known prognostic value, the authors noted.
So they incorporated HPV status into a clinical trial of patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
The study involved 96 patients with stage III or IV head and neck cancer of the oropharynx or larynx. The DNA of oncogenic HPV type 16, 33, or 35 was identified in tumor specimens from 38 (40%) patients.
Patients received two cycles of induction chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin, and response was assessed within 21 days after the second cycle.
Chemoradiation consisted of seven weekly doses of paclitaxel administered concurrently with standard fractionated external beam radiation therapy. Treatment response was evaluated six to eight weeks after completion of therapy.
Patients with HPV-positive tumors had a response rate of 82% after induction chemotherapy compared with 55% for patients with HPV-negative tumors.
Response to chemoradiation was 84% in HPV-positive patients and 57% in HPV-negative patients.
At a median follow-up of 39 months, HPV-positive tumors were associated with an absolute improvement in survival of 33% compared with HPV-negative tumors (P=0.005).
After adjustment for patient age, tumor stage, and performance status, HPV-positive patients had a disease progression hazard ratio of 0.27 compared with HPV-negative patients.
Limitations of the study included the small sample size, which restricted the number of variables that could be included in their models, the researchers said.
Inclusion of patients with laryngeal cancer was also a limitation, they said, suggesting that analysis of a larger study limited to oropharyngeal cancer patients could more thoroughly evaluate the possibility of smoking as a confounder.
The researchers noted that their findings may not extrapolate to other treatment regimens or chemotherapy agents.
|The authors reported no conflicts of interest relevant to the study.

- The four-party alliance scored a historic victory in Wednesday's general election over the long-ruling Barisan Nasional government.
In a statement from his hospital bed, Anwar said he had told members of his People's Justice Party (PKR) to ensure that Mahathir's government "remains strong and stable".
But he also said that, in a conversation with Mahathir, he had raised PKR's demand for "more inclusive negotiation", a reference to the formation of the cabinet.
Mahathir said in a telecast on state TV that "at the beginning, we shouldn't look at proportion" in the cabinet. "It will be made up when we make up the rest of the cabinet," he said. "Surely there will be some conflict in need and wants of each party. This will be determined by the prime minister."
Mahathir is the alliance leader and Anwar's PKR has the majority of seats in parliament won by the group. The volatile relationship between the two, from friends to foes to allies, has dominated Malaysia's political landscape for over three decades and is central to the future of the alliance.
Mahathir announced just three ministers on Saturday, to join himself and Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Anwar's wife, in the cabinet. He was to announce 10, and sources within the alliance said there was no agreement on the others.
The sources declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. Wan Azizah did not attend the news conference to announce the new ministers because of the disagreements, said one source in the alliance. Mahathir then visited Anwar in the hospital where he is recovering from a shoulder operation and the atmosphere was frosty, said another source who was present. The source said Mahathir and Anwar are scheduled to meet again on Sunday.
No need for GST now, says premier
Malaysia's newly elected Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Sunday the country has sufficient revenue to remove the unpopular goods and services tax (GST), state news agency Bernama reported.
The new government vowed to abolish the consumption tax within the first 100 days of being in power.
Speaking during his address to the nation, the new premier discussed various topics, from the new government's focus on rooting out corruption to relooking a law against "fake news".
Mahathir, however, did not elaborate on his remakrs about the government's fiscal position, but his comments are at odds with his previous assertions.
Mahathir said the new government would welcome investment and the system of governance will be more open.
The new prime minister said that there are "too many restrictions" that prevent businesses from operating freely in Malaysia, and pledged to examine the issue.

Dead SwitchBusiness
Happy Monday all. We arrived at the office to a dead network switch this morning. That means all of our office phones are down. Internet is up, so email is the best way to reach us until we can replace the network switch and get voice calls back.
If you do phone, you will be able to leave a voicemail and it will be emailed to us.
12:02pm - Alex from Precursor is here. Hurray!
1:18pm - We have a borrowed switch in place. Doug and I have phones back, but for some reason (unkown) our remaining phones won't talk to the switch. Grrr... still working on it.
Nov 20, 1pm: Well, that took way longer than it should have. We finally got our Talkswitch phones all back on the network. We had to do the following:
- Map IP addresses on our Apple Airport Router to each of the Talkswitch units. This is to ensure that they always get the same IP addresses.
- On the 5 older phones that don't dynamically read the network and figure out where the talkswitch primary units live, we had to manually configure:
- TFTP server
- HTTP server
- SIP server address
- FTP server
- Scan through the rest of the settings on the phone looking for incorrect IP addresses that did not match up to the IP addresses assigned to the primary and secondary units
- Restart all the phones a bunch fo times
- Highfives!

CLIFFSIDE PARK, N.J. -- A Cliffside Park man was free on $30,000 bail in connection with what police said was a rampage after he found his ex-girlfriend talking with another man.
Alexander Delbert, 20, kicked in the door of an apartment after the two, spotting him pull up, went inside, Police Chief Richard Gaito told Daily Voice.
Delbert then assaulted the woman, smashed her cellphone on the floor and chased the man, who'd climbed out a rear window, Gaito said.
Using his keys, he scratched the man's car before fleeing, the chief said.
Police contacted Delbert and ordered him to return to the scene, where he was taken into custody on charges of assault, theft and criminal mischief, Gaito said.
Delbert spent two days in the Bergen County Jail before posting bail Wednesday, records show.

Salvation Army Citadel Hosting Special Guest
The Salvation Army is hosting Dr. Susanna Kokkonen on Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 5:30 p.m. in The Salvation Army Citadel Chapel at 38th & Cuming Street in Omaha.
Dr. Kokkonen is the Director of the Christian Friends of Yad Yashem, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem, Israel. Yad Yashem, established in 1953 is Israel's official memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
Dr. Kokkonen travels the world regularly spreading the word to Christians about Israel, the Holocaust and anti-Semitism. She believes it's important for Christians to understand the past in order to shape the future.
"We want to make sure that something like this (Holocaust) doesn't happen again," said Dr. Linda Burkle, the Divisional Social Services Director for The Salvation Army. "To ensure that we are not blind to things going on around us, it's very important we raise awareness."
Yad Yashem carries their message through four main areas of focus. Commemoration of the six million Jews that perished during the Holocaust, preservation of documents left behind by the Nazi's so their atrocities will never be forgotten, research of the Holocaust from all aspects and education on a global scale for the world to internalize the lessons of the Holocaust.
"By knowing the past we are better able to know what to do today so this is vital information for church leaders to be able support Israel and to know what happened and why it happened." Dr. Kokkonen said.
Dr. Kokkonen originally from Finland, is fluent in six languages and regularly writes on Jewish and Israeli issues. She received her Ph.D. in Holocaust Studies from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2004.Prior to working at Yad Yashem, Dr. Kokkonen worked at the European Parliament in Brussels and at the Embassy of Finland in Tel Aviv.
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in London in 1865, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination for more than 130 years in the United States. Nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children.

Despite being one of Australia's richest businessmen, the man behind the Kogan online electronics empire admits he lives far more like a pauper than a prince.
BRW Rich Lister Ruslan Kogan is a multi-millionaire after starting Kogan at the age of 23.
But in spite of his fortune, Mr Kogan is adamant his wealth has not gone to his head.
"If I have a big night out with mates, a Maccas meal at 3am is still one of the best meals you can get," Mr Kogan told A Current Affair.
His far more humble than haughty roots have much to do with his outlook.
At the age of six, Mr Kogan immigrated to Australia from Belarus with his parents.
Irene and Alex Kogan had nothing but $90 in their pockets, but had big dreams.
"I had to see my parents work three or four jobs each," Mr Kogan said.
"Dad would deliver pizzas, be a taxi driver, work at the Vic markets. Mum would be a cleaner at one cafe and a waitress at another, and then come home, study English."
His entrepreneurial roots lie at the golf course around the corner from the housing commission flat in which he was raised.
"I'd pick up the balls the golfers couldn't be bothered picking up, wash them, put them in egg cartons and go and sell them to the golfers," Mr Kogan said.
"It made me pimp of the Milk Bar," he said, laughing.
When he initially maxed out his credit cards to purchase electronics from overseas and sell them online, his mother was terrified.
"She actually cried when I shared the idea with her," Mr Kogan said.
But the risk paid off and Mr Kogan is now worth an estimated $320 million.
Now, his business has been making big waves after purchasing Dick Smith Electronics' e-commerce arm.
At the end of June, Kogan is set to raise $50 million from new investors, with plans to list on the Australian Stock Exchange.
But the man behind the self-titled brand has a more personal ambition to tick off his checklist once his business is owned by the public.
"Starting a family is definitely an ambition," Mr Kogan said.
"When I'd find the time to do so is a more pertinent question, but it'll happen soon."

Quartz Crystal Microbalances (QCM)
Label-Free Observation of Molecular Interactions, Surface Layer Systems and Fluid Properties from 3T Analytik
To complement the SPR and LSPR instruments from Reichert and Insplorion respectively, ATG Scientific offers extremely high quality quartz crystal microbalances manufactured by 3T Analytik for bioanalytical studies.
Quartz Crystal Microbalances (QCM) are highly sensitive instruments for measuring the mass and material properties of deposited molecular layers as well as of wetting liquids on their quartz sensor surfaces. The measuring principle of this technique is based on the precise oscillation of the quartz sensors at their resonant frequency when an alternating voltage is applied.
Depositions at the surface or wetting of the surface result in a frequency shift and, depending on the material properties, also in a damping of the oscillation. Both, the frequency shift and the damping (dissipation) of the oscillation are captured with the 3T Analytik qCell/qCell T QCM instruments with high resolution and in real-time.
These novel instruments provide real-time insights into molecular interactions, biofilms, liquid properties and even the analysis of blood.
The qCell is a lower cost basic entry-level version, while the qCell T uses a high precision and powerful Peltier driven temperature (T) control system for cooling and heating and a thermostated flow cell with a gold coated, disposable quartz crystal sensor mounted on a carrier sheet.
The qCell T as well as the qCell flow cell design is unsurpassed in its simplicity and features for QCM measurements:
- The sensor sheet is placed easily on predesigned anchor points onto the open trench base.
- A fluidic head locks over the carrier sheet to seal the device and establish fluidic connections.
- A peristaltic pump supplies liquid at user programmable flow rates.
- The integrated qGraph and qGraphViewer software for instrument control, data acquisition, graphic display and processing completes the system.
The qCell T software suite provides for fully automated instrument control, signal acquisition, real time display, processing and data storage. Individual panels display frequency, damping (dissipation), temperature and pump flow profiles.
There are many applications possible with the qCell/qCell T instruments, including:
- Kinetic studies (dissociation/binding constants)
- Protein interaction (affinity assays)
- Viscosity measurements in microlitre volumes
- Cell adhesion/desorption
- Drug development
- Receptor-ligand interactions
- Molecular aggregation
- In-situ formation of polymer films
- Enzymatic degradation studies
- Biofilm studies
- Studies of structural changes, proliferation and cell spreading
- Detection of coagulation status
- Real time studies of antigen-antibody interactions (e.g. immunoassay, specific coupling of cells and bacteria, blood typing)
- Investigation of the malaria cycle (e.g. release and reinvasion of parasites)
Sensor Chips
Each quartz sensor comes mounted on a thin polymer sensor sheet of precise dimensions. The sensor chip is labelled with a unique serial number and features an asymmetric shape with grooves which precisely fits into a flat cavity at the bottom of the open-architecture flow cell. Different quartz coatings (e.g. Ti, Ag, Cu, Pt, polymers, proteins) are available upon request.
Application Notes available include:
- Performing a measurement on the qCell T
- Monitoring Ligand-induced Cellular Response
- Characterization of SOM Affecting NP Bioavailability
- Blood Coagulation "Quick Time" Measurement

A young advocate who is giving women on social media heart palpitations with his good looks, says he is so single he even forgot about Valentine's Day.
Advocate Dominic Khumalo earned the nickname "ANC bae" after images of him wearing a black party T-shirt caused a stir on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
Khumalo, whose chiselled physique has impressed Mzansi's ladies, spoke to Sowetan yesterday about the attention he has been getting lately.
"It is humbling but there are many more handsome and beautiful baes in the ANC such as Nelson Mandela, Albertina Sisulu and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela," Khumalo said.
But there is more to the Soweto-born stud than his good looks.
Khumalo, who works as a researcher at the Department of Telecommunications and Postal Services, studied a BA degree in politics, law and international relations at Wits University.
He went on to study an LLB degree and a postgraduate diploma in business and commercial law.
Pictures of him posing in different outfits have been doing the rounds, with some people even sharing videos of him working out.
Alexis McCoy, who posted a picture of him in an ANC T-shirt and a cap, wrote on Facebook: "food for the eyes ladies".
Thandiwe Ayanda Mabuza wrote: "My only question is where he has been hiding. God this man is handsome."
Khumalo's resume boasts work experience at law firm Norton Rose Fulbright and companies such as Vodacom.
When asked about his particular interest in the ANC, he said: "The ANC has a rich historical background that spans over 100 years."
He went on to further say that he has an insatiable love for South Africa because of the traumatic experiences that black people suffered through in the apartheid era.

Do we need ontological reflection on the body?"The body expresses the ambiguity of human being, as both subjective sensibility that experiences the world and as an object perceived in that world" (R. Shusterman). This dichotomy translates into how we conceptualise the body. On the one hand, the body is defined in a naturalistic way through biology, linguistics, naturalistically oriented philosophy and sociology. On the other hand, it is described in a culturalist manner, through the queer theory, gender studies or post-modern aesthetic concepts. Both approaches compete with each other to win the title of the fundamental or primary approach. But this seems to be a futile dispute, as the division into nature and culture (and the related discourse strategies of naturalism versus culturalism) increasingly turns out to be a product of the modern scientific practice which can be questioned. In this perspective, it seems necessary to find a new way of conceptualising the body. In my opinion, this has to be an ontological reflection that makes it possible to treat the naturalistic and culturalist discourses as ontic ones.

I've always been exclusively right-handed. I've also always been a creature of habit. I never expected one to mess with the other quite like this.
I'm sorry, I've just never been able to do this. I just can't write with a blue pen.
Every morning I have coffee. Every morning when the coffee has been consumed, I stand over the sink and clean out the coffee pot. I always start by pulling out the used coffee grounds with my left hand.
I've been doing this for years, and never noticed that I was grabbing the coffee grounds left-handed. It shouldn't matter, but apparently it does.
One recent morning, I was looking somewhere else when I tried to clean out the coffee pot. I reached for the grounds with my right hand.
The hour of your doom approaches
It felt WEIRD. Like when you pick up a pen with your non-writing hand, and suddenly you have no idea what to do with it. I thought, "What an odd thing to be left-handed at... it's just a pinch/grab/lift, ..."
And then I dropped it. There was a small crashing sound and a wet "sploot" of damp coffee grounds attempting to splash.
From across the house my wife shouted, "What was that? Are you OK?"
"I'm fine," I replied. Then I stepped on the coffee-ground goo pile. One foot slipped and I did the splits. My hamstrings twanged like Steve Vai's E-string and my head crashed hard into the oven door.
Performing Funeral Dirge for a Tiny Nerd, in e-minor
"What was *that*?!?", my wife shouted. She sounded concerned. "Are you sure you're OK?"
"mmm fine", I mumbled. I think it was verbal, anyway. I put a hand up on the counter to pull myself up. My poor dumb groping hand landed on the hot-plate for the coffee pot. It was, naturally, still hot.
There was brief sizzling noise, followed by a scream. "What was that?", came the expected shout. "Are you OK?"
Owie. Stingie.
"You don't want to know," I shouted back in reply.
"You don't want to know" is a phrase that gets shouted a lot at my house.

Harvest continues in 'foraging' mode (as Daphne explained last week). I managed another batch of Squash & Tomato soup with the last Rumbo squash from the basement storage room and tomatoes from the freezer.
I've foraged a few salads from the garden: spinach, baby lettuce, red mustard, kale, sorrel and chives. The spinach is Bloomsdale and it's bolting already! It can't be the heat because until Friday the weather has been cool, barely breaking 70 Fahrenheit. So I'm blaming the dryness. This is my first planting, back in March, and it endured extreme drought for its first month. I hope the second planting grows better now that rain is falling regularly.
There was a big surprise waiting at Vassar Farm Saturday: Colorado Potato Beetles! May 12 is the earliest I've ever seen them. I recorded the first CPB June 1, 2007 (the 'normal' emergence time here) and May 25, 2011. This year's very early emergence is probably because of our very warm winter – the soil never froze more than an inch or so all winter.
Colorado potato beetles overwinter as adults in the soil. These beetles were on volunteer plants in last years potato patch so they didn't need to move far to find food. Three were having an orgy on one plant and a female was laying her bright yellow-orange eggs on another. I went wild smashing them, before realizing I'd just destroyed the chance for some really good photos.
I do rotate crops, and my potato planting is on the other end of the garden from last year's patch. When the first plants broke ground I covered the patch with a floating row cover to protect it from flea beetles. The pest sequence is flea beetles, Colorado potato beetles, then potato leaf hoppers which kill unprotected plants by August 1.
I'm hoping the plants are more productive without the continuous stress from munching insects. Though I don't mind if they die by Aug. 1 because I immediately replant the space with sugar snap peas for fall.
See this article for more on Colorado potato beetles.

A young man was seen on the highway in West Chester, Pennsylvania Sunday afternoon on November 12, 2017 in an Apple.com maps truck. The driver, a young Caucasian male, was seen driving a Apple weather-maps truck with weather looking gadgets on top of the vehicle. The young man was allegedly on his phone while driving (a driving hazard). Additionally, it looks as if he allegedly drove cross country from California, as the Maps.Apple.com truck sported California tags.

The program is making use of a special coding system developed by the developers who created the hacking program. In combination with the common coding language this is by far the most useful combination in creating reliable hack tools such as this program created for free tokens. Although it sounds to good to be true you are not far to be wrong. Many before you, including me didn't thought something like this to be possible. Is one of those things that you have to see it to believe it. And believe it I did as soon as I used it for the first time.
Can I Learn How To Get Free Tokens On Chaturbate?
There is basically nothing to learn as the program I am talking about is as easy as pie to make use of. All you need is your account username. You have to type it on the page where the Username tab is located. The program does everything for you. It even changes automatically the proxy server. Something never been added before to a hack tool, especially to a chaturbate hack tool.
As soon as the main servers will be up and running I will edit or post a new page with the link from where you can learn how to get free tokens on chaturbate. The reason why I am not able to give you the link is because the domain name will be changed. This is necessary as to avoid the program being detected. It is improper to host it on the same domain for more than a few months. It is necessary to change it periodically.
