Putin foe Alexei Navalny reportedly detained again

The opponent number one in the Kremlin, Alexei Navalny, was questioned by the police at the exit of his home in Moscow, at the time it was supposed to go to a meeting of the campaign in the province, he announced Friday on the social networks.
Navalny had planned to travel to the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod where he was to lead a rally, the latest in a series of demonstrations he has organized across Russian Federation, when he was detained early Friday.
Navalny said he was told by the country's election commission that he would not be allowed to run for president, but he insisted he would stand against Putin either way, Reuters reported.
Navalny said earlier he did not receive any official explanation for being held.
Authorities there banned the event this week and warned residents not to participate, even though activists said the city had previously offered them a square for the rally.
The council's decision-making body, the Committee of Ministers, last week urged Russian Federation to allow Navalny to stand for election despite his "arbitrary and unfair" conviction for fraud.
The Tass news agency on Friday quoted police as saying that Navalny was detained because of his calls for unsanctioned rallies, which is punishable by up to 30 days in jail.
His campaign chief, Leonid Volkov, was kept in police custody in Nizhny Novgorod for most of the day Friday until being released and ordered to attend Monday's court hearing on the same charges.
Russian Federation holds a presidential election in March which incumbent Vladimir Putin is widely expected to contest. The campaign has yet to officially open.
Navalny had already been arrested in the past, such as here at an event in march 2017.

When Gwyneth Paltrow showed up at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show held at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach over the weekend, it raised eyebrows for a couple of reasons.
First, Gwyneth chose to fly to Miami for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (pretty random for her) rather than join her hubby Chris Martin on tour with Coldplay. Second, it turns out she did so at the request of Miami's billionaire bachelor, Jeff Soffer. Could Paltrow's good friend and recently separated pal Madonna be rubbing off on the 36-year-old Oscar Winner?
According to Page Six, Gwyneth "flew down privately at the behest of [Fontainebleau Resorts owner] Jeff Soffer." Insiders say Soffer, a billionaire bachelor who's regarded as Miami royalty, and Paltrow have recently become friends.
Paltrow reportedly did not stay at a hotel with the other guests, choosing instead to "stay at a friend's house for more privacy." A source tells Page Six that during the Fontainebleau party the actress "remained closed off in a private section and hung out with Soffer and Alex Rodriguez" (who is incidentally rumored to be dating Madonna).
Over the rest of the weekend, Soffer gave Gwynnie a private tour of the hotel, jaunts in his Bentley and cruises aboard his yacht along with Gwynnie's single pal Kate Hudson.
Some also say Paltrow didn't look so good.
"She was very, very thin," a witness tells Page Six. "She looked stressed out. And she certainly didn't act like a happily married woman."
But a pal of Martin said Paltrow and their children, Apple and Moses, visited Martin on Sunday in Dallas after leaving Miami.
A rep for Martin declined to comment. A rep for Paltrow told us, "Jeff Soffer is a friend of Gwyneth."

Tough choices
I first read this last year and I'm linking it again for those who had missed it. It really is a sobering reflection from our inactive IM. Unfortunately Li Tian seems to be taking the same route as Zi Jing.

Personally, Malaysia needs more people like Zi Jing than a GM.
Chess gives the discipline, the mental tenacity to encourage growth of any endearvour. Going after the title of IM or GM serves little relevance in countries like Singapore or Malaysia where the emphasis is on economic success.
Let's just say we are not in the right region to pursue it as a viable option as yet. What's more important, we should build the chess culture amongst the populace like they do in Indonesia and Philippines. Encourage chess playing amongst the people. Have a chess set in every home. Perhaps then, we may have the supporting infrastructure to have big chess dreams

This is going to be my first post. I'm on WordPress! Yay!
I will be talking about things that I am interested in and hopefully get some positive feedback, some new online friends and some intellectual discourse.
Things that I am interested are social justice, particularly the fat acceptance movement, religion and philosophy, photoshopping, among other things.
A little about myself, I am a 34 year old woman who is hearing impaired, has bi-polar and Asperger's Disorder, of which I probably will be blogging about that as well.
As I said above I am interested in the fat acceptance movement. Why? It is a movement that I feel is very much in need given that we live in a society that puts the thin ideal on a high, unattainable pedestal. It is much needed because women and men suffer from low self esteem, confidence, etc because of the constant bombardment of propaganda from the media. Everywhere we go, we see magazine covers that portray beautiful people, tabloids that blast celebrities for even having a smidgen of cellulite, numerous articles on the internet about the "obesity epidemic," and publications both online and off about dieting.
People that fall short of the beauty ideal, particularly fat people, are ostracized, marginalized and discriminated. One only needs to read the anecdotes from blogs such as First Do No Harm, Fat Heffalump, and This Is Thin Privilege in order to see that such discriminatory behavior against fat people is a common occurence.
Another reason I want to blog about the fat acceptance is that it helps me. I am one of those millions that suffer from low self-esteem, low self confidence, and low self worth. Part of this is, I will say, part of my mental disorders. However, I see the same type of media portraying perfect bodies and flawless faces and I see and read the numerous posts of fat hate on the Internet and I feel that if I can somehow make a small contribution to fat acceptance movement; it will not only help me but maybe, just maybe, I could help someone else out there. Perhaps it can be a woman who has dieted on and off for years and feels like a failure each time she gains weight. Perhaps it could be a teenager being picked on for his weight and seeing a blog where acceptance of one's body in a positive way could lift him/her spirits up. Perhaps it could be someone who works in the field of psychology or nutritional studies, what have you, that could be spurned to see the other side of the "obesity epidemic."
All of these are valid reasons that a small part can make a difference.
I will do my best to be informative, check and re-check my sources and to contribute to a growing Internet community that focuses on group and personal experiences; that deal with such issues as fat acceptance, body positivity, and mental health of such topics I find the most interest in.
I do hope that what I write will be thought provoking and engaging.
I want for people to consider that some things that are out there, in the media, or elsewhere isn't always what they say it is. Nor what it seems to be. I hope to promote critical thinking on some of these topics and I hope for more intellectual, stimulating conversations on these topics.
So this is all I have to blog for now. I will be back eventually when some more ideas come to me.

Benjamin Robert Haydon was a painter educated at the Royal Academy, who was famous for contemporary, historical, classical, biblical, and mythological scenes, though tormented by financial difficulties. He painted William Wordsworth's portrait in 1842. MRM was introduced to him at his London studio in the spring of 1817, and Sir William Elford was a mutual friend. He committed suicide in 1846.

Died: 1854-03-13 in Stafford, Staffordshire, England.
Close friend, literary mentor, and frequent correspondent of Mary Russell Mitford. Thomas Noon Talfourd was born on May 26, 1795 at Reading, Berkshire and baptised on July 12, 1795 at the Broad Street Chapel in Reading, the eldest child of Rev. Edward Talfourd and Anne Isabella Noon. His father was a brewer and later established a lunatic asylum for female patients at Normand House, Fulham, which he ran until his death, and the supervision of which was later conducted by his wife and his daughter Anne. Thomas Noon Talfourd married Rachel Rutt on August 31, 1822 at St. John, Hackney, Middlesex. Rachel was the daughter of radical politician and writer John Towill Rutt. Thomas and Rachel had five children: Francis, Mary, Katharine, Thomas Noon [II], and William Wordsworth. In 1832, the family lived at 26 Henrietta Street, St Andrew, Holborn and St George the Martyr, Bloomsbury, England. In 1837, they lived at 56 Russell Square, St. George, Bloomsbury. Talfourd's chambers were at 2 Elm Court, Temple, London. Talfourd was educated at the newly-established Mill Hill school, a dissenting academy in Reading, from 1808 to 1810. He attended Dr. Richard Valpy's Reading School from 1810 to 1812. He completed a legal apprenticeship with Joseph Christy, special pleader, in 1817, and was called to the bar in London in 1821. He ultimately earned a D.C.L. (Doctor of Civil Laws) from Oxford on June 20, 1844. While establishing his practice as a barrister and special pleader, he worked as legal correspondent for The Times, reporting on the Oxford Circuit, and also continued his literary interests. After 1833, he was appointed Serjeant at Law, as well as a King's and Queen's Counsel. He was elected and served as Member of Parliament for Reading from 1835 to 1841 and from 1847 to 1849 ; he served with Charles Fyshe Palmer, Charles Russell, and Francis Piggott. Highlights of his political and legal career included introducing the first copyright bill into Parliament in 1837 (for which action Charles Dickens dedicated Pickwick Papers to him) and defending Edward Moxon's publication of Percy Shelley's Queen Mab in 1841 . He was appointed Queen's Serjeant in 1846 and Judge of Common Pleas in 1849 , at which post he served until his death in 1854. He was knighted in 1850 . Talfourd's literary works include his plays Ion (1835), The Athenian Captive (1837) and Glencoe, or the Fate of the MacDonalds(1839). --#lmw #cmm that I owe the first introduction of my plays to his notice.--I hope your brother still continues comfortable--Tell him that Mr. CrowtherMr. Crowther

According to Coles, forename may be Phillip; Coles is not completely confident that the "dandy" Mr. Crowther and Mr. [Phillip?] Crowther are the same person. The second Mr. Crowther is a correspondent of Mitford's, whom she writes to at Whitley cottage, near Reading. He may also have resided at Westbury on Trim near Bristol.

Her middle name, "Chard," is derived from her maternal lineage; Grace's maternal grandmother was born Mary Chard. Grace Elford remained unmarried and later came to reside with her sister Elizabeth Elford Adams and her family, according to census records. She died on February 22, 1857 at St. Thomas, Devon.--#lmw.[4] Mitford mentions Hutchinson's rust of iron again in her letter to Sir William Elford of 21 August 1823 in connection with his brother to inquire if he has tried it or the Reading remedy for his ailment. Hutchinson's rust (or carbonate) of iron was used to treat tic douloureux (trigeminal neuralgia), a chronic pain disorder that affects the nerves in the face. Hutchinson reported "occasionally the happiest results" with his treatment, which he advised to be taken in doses of two scruples repeated two to three times a day, in an article in The Lancet London of 30 September 1837. We have located a reference to a celebrated Reading Remedy in an advertisement in the Brighton Gazette of 7 July 1864, where it is referred to as BOULTE'S EMBROCATION (the celebrated Reading Remedy), and only certain cure for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Face-ache, Loss of Power in the Limbs, Weak and Contracted Muscles, Stiff Joints, Feeble Circulation, Lumbago, Sore Throats, Hooping Cough, Chilblains, &c.

Roudebush Hall
Roudebush Hall, built in 1956 as Miami University's administration building, took the place of the under-equipped Benton Hall with the influx of a larger student body. At the time it housed the offices of many major departments including, the Director of Admissions, Registrar and the Bursar, now these departments have been moved to the Admissions Building across campus. It now holds the Office of the Present, Finance and Business Services, Office of the Provost among others. The building was dedicated the year of its completion and named after Wallace Pattison Roudebush in 1965.
Justification of Construction
Before the construction of the Administration Building, Roudebush, the general administration offices of Miami University were located in Benton Hall along with the University's auditorium. Benton Hall was erected in 1908 when the university's enrollment was around 580 students as compared to 3,300 in the pre-war decade. This increase in the numbers of students caused many of the offices in the current space to become insufficient. Also, there was an increase in the administration personnel and faculty members of different functions university-wide to accommodate for this increase in enrollment. The University sought to find offices wherever space could be found in other buildings across campus. The efficiency of the University had been greatly hindered by this disorganized system of administration, so it became a priority to bring all these offices together in one building. The original plan for the Administration building included:
• University Bookstore
• Post Office
• Storage for Business office
• Storage for registrar's office
• Mimeograph and other services
First Floor
• Director of Admissions
• Dean of Women
• Dean of Men
• Alumni Secretary
• University Editor
• Registrar
• Bursar
Second Floor:
• Board of Trustees
• President's Office
Wallace Pattinson Roudebush
W.P. Roudebush was born in Owensville, Ohio on April 15, 1890. He attended Miami University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1911. While at Miami he was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and won the Bishop Latin Prize as a sophomore. He also served as business manager of the Miami student, president of the Athletic Board of Control, senior senator in the Student Forum and the president of the Class of 1911. Upon graduation, President R.M. Hughes hired him as a secretary to the president.
Throughout the next 45 years, Roudebush served under various titles associated with the administration of the University. Namely:
1913-1919: Assistant professor of Accounting and Insurance
1922-1956: Professor
1911-1917: Secretary to the President
1915-1917: Financial Secretary
1917-1950: Secretary to the Board of Trustees
1945-1953: Vice President of Finance
1953-1954: Vice President
1954-1956: Vice President and Treasurer
He received his D.B.A. degree from Bowling Green State University in 1946. Roudebush passed away in 1956. He was survived by his widow Mrs. Dorothy Roudebush, a son, Warren, of Washington, D.C., and a daughter Jane of Oxford and seven grandchildren. Following his death a portrait was hung in the main lounge of the University Center and the Roudebush Development Fund was established in the Miami University Foundation.
A plaque was dedicated to Roudebush (a man of shining integrity) by the 1955-1956 student body that states, "An alumnus of Miami University, class of 1911, he served his alma mater from graduation until his death of April 14, 1956, with rare devotion, uncommon ability, and genuine unselfishness, his lifetime of service adding luster to Miami's name and setting an example to those who study, or teach, or labor in this fair place". 4.
General Accounting Office
Housed within Roudebush Hall, the General Accounting Office's primary purpose is to process the accounting transactions of Miami University. Also, the office provides timely internal and external financial reports to track all financial activity associated with the university. All actions align with the accepted standards of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
The office has the power to both review and track all accounting activity to ensure that it complies with the funding restrictions and tax regulations. In addition, the office maintains documents and reports of Miami University in such a manner that will allow for review or audit of the financial statements as necessary. In its daily operations, they provide services to students, university departments, vendors, state agencies and other external groups.

Greetings to all, Merry Christmas, happy Sunday and finally, hope you're all okay! (Unconventional opening for originality – unsure of effectiveness) Here she is, back again and still alive, what an achievement. The last few months have been a bit of a blur, really, but then again, so has this entire year. So much has happened and so many things have changed that I'm unsure of where to start, but as the title of this post states, tinder has been a particularly interesting experience this year, so I'll just go straight in with that, I think.
So I'm currently sat watching Shrek 2 on the sofa of our uni house with a cuppa, whilst my flatmate bathes away her sins and our washing machine continues to wash the same clothes that it's been washing for the past four hours. Times are good. But let's not beat around the bush. In July, I joined the interesting world of tinder. I wouldn't say I was particularly looking for a boyfriend, I guess I was just intrigued by it and thought it'd be humorous, but my oh my, what a time it has been. I've learnt things about myself through being on tinder that I don't think I ever would had I not joined it, and I've also had experiences on it that have taught me a lot about dating and all that 'feelsy' stuff in general. I guess, here, I'll just tell you about them and maybe if you're looking for something to spice up your life a little, or to get yourself out there a little more, then you'll be a little more informed about it before you do.
My first observation, was that dating online is somewhat easier than in real life – or it seems so, at first. Essentially, if you're not familiar with tinder, you upload images of yourself and a little bio and people either swipe left if they're not totally feeling it and right if they think 'hmm, that's a bit of me'. If you then swipe right for the person who has swiped right for you when you come across them, you 'match' and you are given the opportunity to communicate with each other. This is the aspect that seems relatively easy, as if you were to see someone you liked in real life, you may be less likely to go over to them and I guess, state your intentions. When you match on tinder, it's pretty simple – although, trying to be original when actually beginning a conversation can be an experience in itself. Ironically, it'd probably be easier to begin a conversation in real life because of the shared context you'd probably be in with the person and as a result, on tinder, you usually just get hit with a terrible chat up line or sometimes just a 'hey' if the person is feeling extra creative. I really tried to be original but to be honest, it just got a bit exhausting after a while. It can also be super easy to chat on tinder purely because there's not that awkward 'in the moment' pressure that in person interaction can bring. So yes, there's definitely an ease that comes with chatting and meeting people online, especially with tinder. You can have some amazing conversations with people you'd never have met in real life, from all walks of life, but at the same time, it's partly due to the ease of talking to someone through a screen. I know people can just generally be easy to talk to, you could meet someone in real life who is super easy to chat to – and equally, be easy to talk to yourself – but it's just good to remember that tinder just makes things even easier, and not to be fooled by that, I guess.
My second observation, is that some people on tinder just want one thing, and that's fine, but if you don't, just be aware. Perhaps it's the ease of tinder that I mentioned before that makes people use it for sex, but a lot of people do genuinely use it to build relationships, too. Building romantic relationships can be hard, daunting and also something that people can assume will never happen. I guess tinder is a way to instigate these relationships, or even just to give yourself some confidence.
On that point, I found that tinder really did increase my confidence or faith in myself. Not in an egotistical way, just in an 'oh, maybe I'm alright, actually' kinda' way. Because it's so easy to talk to people, it can be easy to find confidence in this and your ability to communicate with people. It's also nice that someone has actively chosen to swipe right for you and in some way finds you attractive, so it can make you feel, like I say, like you're 'actually alright'.
So yeah, there's quite a few advantages to tinder. A few of my friends have met guys on tinder and are in a happy relationship with them to this day, so I don't think it's something you should count out in terms of effectiveness, it just depends on how you'd prefer to meet someone I guess. But I will say, that from being on tinder, I have kind of realised that I'd prefer to meet someone in person. Tinder, in a way, gave me the confidence to go out and do this, to speak to people I liked in person, as had I not been on tinder and had some disastrous – and some good – experiences, I probably wouldn't have gone out and actually had the confidence to speak to people I actually liked in real life. I think after my break up, I kind of needed a bit of a confidence boost and my tinder experiences helped me to work towards that. As of now, I've deleted the app purely because I guess I'm not totally looking for love, right now, but who knows what the future will hold, hey? Hopefully, if it's going to come it'll come whenever it's meant to.
So I hope that helped or informed some people about tinder, I guess. It was an interesting little journey for sure, but I learnt a lot about myself and I'm sure you will too if that's the road you're going to travel down! Just to finish off, I'll bullet point (I'm loving bullet points at the moment) some of my experiences just to give you a picture of what's been going on for the past few months! (Prepare yourselves!) Hope you're all doing well and that November is treating you well, if not, then roll on December! 🙂
- Well, well, well. My first tinder experience (the first one I kinda' saw something with) involved a guy who lived near to where I lived. He was working at a law firm and essentially acted like he was so down for lurrve and then basically just never turned up for our date. #Winning #LuckyEscape (His name began with an M and I attempted to avoid M names following this event #RosieLogic .)
- The next one involved me and this guy sending iPhone screen length messages to each other every morning and night – it was an interesting time. He worked at a zoo (cute) but pretty sure he was a real life giant #FiveFootThreeProbs.
- The tinder experience (another one I genuinely saw something with) that followed this involved a guy who chatted to me for weeks, organised a date with me and then ignored me on the days leading up to it #CriedABit #TouchySubject #BitofAWankerAnyway (had good music taste though, you go glen coco) ((Another boy whose name began with 'M'))
After this guy, I decided to have a break from tinder because my soul was a little hurt despite the fact we'd never met, lol, but I did actually learn a lot from this fella, or should I say, I learnt a lot about how to not be on tinder, from this guy.
- The guy that came after this was super lovely but came just as I'd managed to get my shit back together and essentially, just at the wrong time. As a result of my shite experience with the lad before, when we'd arranged a date and I'd realised I wasn't totally feeling it, I didn't ignore him for three days and ended it kindly and sensitively #ThanksMNumber2 (Conveniently, this boy's name also started with M but he restored my faith in the M'S) ((Also had good music taste and was very interested in the logistics of how Disneyworld operated – good catch, sadly just bad timing)
- The one that followed this guy was an interesting one. When we discovered we went to the same university, we were pretty happy but can confirm that now we don't talk, it's not the best. He was a little odd but I was kinda' feeling it, until he started being a little weird on snapchat and then well, I stopped feeling it. We were meant to go on a date to Ghetto Golf in Liverpool and he essentially bailed on me an hour before. Let's just say I'm glad I booked it because I just went with my friends instead and they were miles better company! (Also came second who'd have thought?!)
And I guess since then, tinder just hasn't been the one. I've met people in real life since and I feel good. Even without tinder and without meeting people in real life, I feel okay. I'm enjoying the time getting to know myself and improving myself, reflecting on what's happening and essentially, just focusing on getting my degree. Onwards and upwards, my loves! 🙌

If you raise bees, then you're on the way to making your own honey nougat!
For our first lunch of the new year, we visited Anne & Alain's farm high on a rocky mount south of Figeac. After negotiating the steep road to their property and looking at the singular terrain, my first conclusion was that they raised free range stones.
After a beautiful lunch in the house they'd built beside an ancient stone barn, we walked around the property – me being scrupulously careful to avoid going any near the falaise. That would be a cliff for acrophobes like me. Anyway, I had more pressing issues, as when I peered out over the door of the outdoor dunny, and wondered big ass like that could fit in there.
I think donkeys may be as photogenic as malamutes – and they're sooo curious about everything.

public interface java.text.CharacterIterator extends java.lang.Cloneable
subinterfaces: java.text.AttributedCharacterIterator
implementing classes: java.text.StringCharacterIterator
see also: [java.text.StringCharacterIterator, java.text.AttributedCharacterIterator
fields: java.text.CharacterIterator.DONE
methods: clone(), current(), first(), getBeginIndex(), getEndIndex(), getIndex(), last(), next(), previous(), setIndex(int position)
public interface java.text.CharacterIterator extends java.lang.Cloneable
This interface defines a protocol for bidirectional iteration over text. The iterator iterates over a bounded sequence of characters.
Characters are indexed with values beginning with the value returned by getBeginIndex() and continuing through the value returned
by getEndIndex()-1.
Iterators maintain a current character index, whose valid range is from getBeginIndex() to getEndIndex(); the value getEndIndex()
is included to allow handling of zero-length text ranges and for historical reasons. The current index can be retrieved by calling
getIndex() and set directly by calling setIndex(), first(), and last().
The methods previous() and next() are used for iteration. They return DONE if they would move outside the range from
getBeginIndex() to getEndIndex() -1, signaling that the iterator has reached the end of the sequence. DONE is also returned by
other methods to indicate that the current index is outside this range.
Traverse the text from start to finish
public void traverseForward(CharacterIterator iter) {
for(char c = iter.first(); c != CharacterIterator.DONE; c = iter.next()) {
Traverse the text backwards, from end to start
public void traverseBackward(CharacterIterator iter) {
for(char c = iter.last(); c != CharacterIterator.DONE; c = iter.previous()) {
Traverse both forward and backward from a given position in the text. Calls to notBoundary() in this example represents some
additional stopping criteria.
public void traverseOut(CharacterIterator iter, int pos) {
for (char c = iter.setIndex(pos);
c != CharacterIterator.DONE && notBoundary(c);
c = iter.next()) {
int end = iter.getIndex();
for (char c = iter.setIndex(pos);
c != CharacterIterator.DONE && notBoundary(c);
c = iter.previous()) {
int start = iter.getIndex();
processSection(start, end);

Hi Keith!... Fog does add to the mystic in a painting. I always enjoy those few moments when sun and fog joust for supremacy to win the day.ReplyDelete
Your painting evokes a favourite line from Sandburg's poem "Fog"... something to the effect
that fog comes in... "on kitty cat feet" - beautifully poetic description of the stealth and mystery that you speak of!
A beautiful atmospheric effect Keith. Bravo!
Warmest regards,
Hi Bruce, "on kitty cat feet" is a nice description, to which I would add, "and purrs"!Delete
All the best,

A relic is either part of the physical remains of a holy person after his or her death, or an object which has been in contact with his or her body. The most important relic is that of the Cross of Jesus Christ, which is traditionally held to have been discovered by St. Helena during her famous pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 326.
The veneration of relics is found in many religions and is rooted in the natural human instinct to treat with reverence anything connected with those we love who have died.
The tradition of venerating relics of martyrs and saints commenced early in the history of the Church. It dates back to the second century. The early Fathers of the Church, like Augustine and John Crysostom, embraced the idea with enthusiasm. Often particular sites, where holy men and women had been buried, became places of pilgrimage and prayer, and frequently grew to become centres of healing for body and spirit. Soon the practice was introduced in the Church of removing some of the bones and distributing them as relics to be used in the consecration of altars for the celebration of Mass. Efforts were consistently made to avoid superstition and exaggeration. It has not been a common practice for relics to be carried in pilgrimage, though we have recently witnessed in this country the visit of the remains of the Little Flower, and the Cure of Ars. The arrival in the UK of the relic of Don Bosco in January continues this practice.
"Relics in the end must point beyond themselves to God, and any veneration or honour given to them is honour to God who has crowned the saints with glory, and who wishes to bless us through our love for, and appreciation of, his special friends."
Fr Christopher O'Donnell, Order of Carmelites.

Ed was out for a bike ride. He felt it was an excellent way to get some exercise and fresh air. His bike was nothing fancy, a full sized used three speed bike with a small carrier. The prior owner was probably a teenager. The back wheel was bigger than the front and there were streamers at the turned down handlebars. It was definitely a large kid's bike but the price was right and it was comfortable. Ed was not a racer, just out for some exercise. He wore some scuffed sneakers, a pair of shorts, a tee shirt and a ball cap. With his longish hair and the bike he looked a lot younger than his age.
It was a Saturday summer morning and Ed was a couple of miles from home and he circled the office building where he worked turning to return home. All morning he had been thinking about a girl in the office. She was really built and Ed had a throbbing hard-on. The office parking lot was empty and there was a small building beside the office building with a small narrow walk between them. The only way to see into the walk was to stand right in front of it. Ed wished he had a key to get into the office. But this would work - no-one would see him there. Ed leaned his bike against the office building, slipped into the walkway, dropped his shorts and started to jerk off. He closed his eyes, leaned against the wall and got into it. Suddenly he heard a car pull up and a couple of women talking. One said "There must be a kid around here, there's his bike." Ed heard their footsteps. He pulled his cap down and stared straight ahead at the opposite wall as they walked past the walkway entrance. As soon as they got past they burst out in laughter. "Ohmygod, did you see that? He has it in his hand. Did you see the size of that thing?" They were whispering to each other and giggling. Ed slowed down his stroking. He was extremely excited. He had to stop stroking or he would come. Ed stood there with his hands at his side and his erection sticking up and out. The women walked slowly by in the opposite direction. Again there was a burst of laughter. "Do you recognize him? Lets go up and ask him what he's doing." That suggestion brought forth another burst of laughter. One said "Do you think he can hear us? I don't think so, if he did he'd be riding away by now. Lets go have another look."
Ed was slowly stroking himself with his left hand. He could just make out the women from the corner of his eye. They were standing at the walkway entrance, watching him. He didn't realize it but one of them had a cel phone and was taking his picture. As they began walking towards him one of them called "Hey kid, what are you doing? I asked you a question - what are you doing? You'd better answer or I'll have to kick you in the nuts." Ed turned to face them and blurted out the first thing that came into his mind "I'm picking berries". Both women erupted in laughter "Yeah right! With your pants down and playing with your hard-on your picking berries." By this time they were right up to him. "Hey, your not a kid, I recognize you. You're a recent hire, a management trainee. What the hell is wrong with you, hiding out and jerking off?"
With his pants down his nuts made an inviting target, One of the women reached out and grabbed his nuts and squeezed. Ed wailed in agony. She said "OK, Lets try this again. What are you doing?" Ed sobbed "Jerking off, I'm jerking off. Oh my nuts, my aching nuts. It hurts." She said "I'm Ms Baker the Marketing Vice President. I want to see you in my office at 11:00AM Monday morning. You need to be disciplined" She then cupped his nuts in her hand and spanked them with the flat of her other hand. Ed had never before felt such agony and helplessness. All he could do was stand there and absorb the pain. Eventually she laughed and let him go.
Ed spent the rest of the weekend nursing his nuts and worrying about his meeting with Ms Baker. He convinced himself that it was dark in the walkway and he had his cap on. He decided the best thing was to ignore the meeting and when she came for him say it wasn't him. Anyway, how could she prove it." There were two women but the second had been back a bit. Ed felt he could bluff it out. And there was no way on earth he wanted to have his nuts spanked again. He got in to work Monday and fired up his computer. There was a message from Ms Baker. There was no text, just a photo of him, standing in the walkway with his pants down and a stiff erection. He was in profile and it was him alright. In any other circumstances he would have been proud of the photo, his erection looked pretty good - big, stiff and sticking up and out. He realized she had him good. There was no getting out of the 11:00 o'clock meeting.
At 11:00 he went to her office. He got a shock, her secretary was the other woman from Saturday morning. She told him to stand in the corner. He looked at her and she repeated it. "Stand in the corner". Eventually she told him to come with her in to see Ms Baker. Ms Baker looked at him and said "The same as last time, drop those pants and lets see you jerk off." This was not what he had been expecting. He had been in dread of another ball spanking. He was so relieved he thanked Ms Baker for not spanking his balls.
Ms Baker laughed and said "Patience, we'll get to that. Trudy, show Ed the paddle you bought from home. Ed, Trudy is quite a good table tennis player. She has a very strong forehand and she suggested she spank your balls with a table tennis paddle. Don't you think that is an excellent idea? I'll be busy with these reports while Trudy gives you a first rate nut spanking. Lie down over there on the conference table while Trudy ties you down. We'd hate to see you hurt yourself falling off the table."
Ed was paralyzed with fear. Ms Baker smiled kindly at Ed and said he didn't have to accept the spanking. He had a choice, Trudy could send the photo of him to all his co-workers, neighbours, friends, relatives and the police (who would undoubtedly charge him with indecent exposure) or he could accept nut spankings which would help him with his obvious masturbation compulsion. Ed very reluctantly laid down on the table and Trudy tied him down with his legs nicely spread. Ms Baker said that Trudy would be in charge. Trudy held his nuts cupped in her hand and said "I can't decide on twice daily nut spankings or one vigorous spanking daily. I think I'll try both and we'll see which one helps you the most. Remember, this is for your benefit." She started to paddle his nuts. Ed felt like his insides were being ripped out. The pain wasn't just in his groin. It spread through his whole body. Ed felt like he had lost touch with reality. He was floating in pain and above him was Trudy smiling down with a kind look on her face telling him that the nut spanking was for his own good as she continued to paddle his nuts. Finally she stopped hitting his balls but the pain continued.
Ms Baker said she had a lunch meeting and had to leave. She said she had spoken to Ed's supervisor and told her that she needed Ed for the remainder of the day. She gave Ed a friendly pat on his nuts as she left the office and said that he should do whatever Trudy says. Trudy had paddled Ed's nuts for the past hour and he was naked and tied down, There was little chance of Ed talking back to Trudy. Ed would do whatever Trudy said. He told her so and she just smiled and said "I know. After a week of paddling your nuts you will be my slave. I studied this in psychology and it is rewarding to see it happen in practise. It gives me an almost unbelievably wonderful feeling of omnipotence. I'm going to paddle your nuts for another fifteen minutes." Ed accepted the pain and worshipped Trudy.
Others may consider Trudy as being plain. Her brown hair was pulled back in a bun, she wore thick horn rimmed glasses, conservative clothes and sensible shoes. To Ed she was an angel. Beautiful, warm and compassionate. Trudy physically and psychologically had Ed by the nuts and she was going to keep him.. She owned his nuts and she owned him. She was happy owning Ed and he was happy being owned by Trudy. Well into their old age Trudy paddled Ed's nuts daily.

Travel insurance is one of those things that we, as adults, are supposed to have. That said, we tend to risk it. Logically speaking, $20 up front is a whole lot better than millions after the fact, but even still, it isn't usually the priority. Having fun is, am I right? And nothing bad is actually going to happen...
But now for those planning a trip to Thailand, you may have no choice but to add travel insurance to your budget. A proposal to make holiday coverage mandatory for visitors is being considered by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, and if it goes through you'll have to show your documents at the immigration counter upon arrival to the country.
It's the reckless and accident-prone that seem to have ruined it for the rest of us. In 2015, the 32.59 million visitors cost Thailand nearly three billion baht (€78.3 million/$88.2 million) in medical treatments at state hospitals. That's roughly 92 baht (€2.40/$2.70) per person, which is kind of a lot when you consider that they have already had over 14 million visitors this year.
If you're not planning a trip to Thailand soon, you should be. The asian country boasts tropical beaches, historic sites, a bustling city life, friendly locals, and mouth-watering food. Whether you're looking to chill, party, or go on an adventure, you'll be right at home in Thailand. Just try and be careful (or pay to be carefree).
While in Thailand, definitely stop by Hug Elephant Sanctuary.

I have tried different times to blog, but I cannot get the pictures to load up.
Maybe it had to do with the fact, that the first try had over 10 pictures.
This will be short and sweet. It if works I will try again.
This week-end is our church's, Listowel Mennonite Church, 50 the anniversary. I was asked to phone Val Fleming, the owner of the Kaleidoscope of Nations quilt and see if she would loan her quilt to us for the week-end. She was willing and yesterday I drove to her place to pick the quilt up and Monday I will return it.
This quilt was sold in 2003 at the Mennonite Relief Sale in new Hamburg. You can find more information on my blog under Relief Sale Quilts.
We are in the middle of the wheat harvest, but it is going very slow. 31/2 inches of rain will do that. We have had a lot of rain. The flower beds look lush, but my planters are not doing well.

* Please see this update
In a few of my prior posts I think of I have eluded, subtly or not, at my love for whiskies. Further clarification is in order … theSpeakista loves whiskies – he would in a moment of weakness knock an old lady down a flight of stairs for a sip of a bonded rye or if pressed under harsh interrogation admit to raising a spent bottle of bourbon to his lips in search of that last drop of goodness. Yet no matter how much he might yearn for and need these other magical elixirs there is one in particular that drives his sole with a white hot passion … his beloved "water of life" and in particular those peaty, salty, some what medicinal tasting bottles of pure liquid heaven that when sipped remind him of all that is good in life; his beloved Islay whiskies.
Scotch is, as most serious cocktail aficionados will tell you, a particularly difficult spirit to use in cocktail mixology with its strong assertive flavor profile often making it a temperamental partner. Certain classics will no doubt come to mind (this and this in particular) but the breadth and range of drinks is just not there (NOTE: for theSpeakista, simply sipping said "water of life" is joy enough … damn those pesky cocktail recipes) when say compared to bourbon or rye. A focus of mine for this little endeavor will be to seek out strange new worlds, to boldly go where … sorry, I digressed … a focus will be to not only explore whisky-based cocktails and mixed drinks but if possible, to gather and imbibe as many different types of scotch-based drinks as possible.
With this particular bit of interest playing in my mind I was happy to find two bold assertive Islay whisky-based drinks on the menu at Raines Law Room (more to come by way of a full review) here in NYC. The first drink I tried is an interesting riff on that beloved warm weather drink the Daiquiri and the second an interesting spin off on the Rob Roy (or Manhattan if you prefer). These two drinks were exactly what the Scotch lover needs and were in a word, fantastic.
Note: as a reminder, for this particular project I attempt to "recreate" drinks imbibed out, away from the home base. I will always try subject to the constraints of what is in my tiny liquor cabinet at the time of making use the exact ingredients listed in a particular menu. theSpeakista will not necessarily ask for the exact recipe (what fun would that be) but will not refrain from watching it being made and will as best as I can seek to get the right ingredient proportions.
Tartan Daiquiri
Recipe adapted from the menu at the Raines Law Room; ingredients listed are per the online menu, substitutions are noted and the proportions are assumed by theSpeakista.
• 1 oz Ron Zacapa 23 rum (I used the last of what I had … it was worth it)
• 1 oz Ardbeg 10-year Scotch
• 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
• sugar (1/2 oz of simple syrup was used)
Garnish: none
Glass: champagne coupe
Tools: mixing glass and tin (shaker), Hawthorn strainer and fine mesh tea strainer
Assembly: Combine all ingredients in the glass with ice and shake for at least 20 seconds until well chilled, double-strain the mixture into the serving glass.
The verdict: Life is good. My beloved Islay has found a home. The Ardbeg and the Zacapa 23 pair wonderfully well together. The peaty, ocean air flavor of the Scotch is tamed ever so nicely and enhanced in a subtle way by the rich lushness of this amazing rum. Slightly sweet from the rum and the simple syrup (or sugar from the original tasted version) with a nice tart backdrop this is great drink to try over and over again.
theSpeakista's Rating: 4 1/4 stars (out of 5)
Up next from Raines a straight forward Islay centric drink with a balanced profile.
Smoke & Mirrors
Recipe adapted from the menu at the Raines Law Room; ingredients listed are per the online menu, substitutions are noted and the proportions are assumed by theSpeakista.
• 2 oz Compass Box Peat Monster Reserve (Lagavulin 16-year was used)
• 1 oz Ramazzotti Amaro
• 1/4 oz Marie Brizard Apricot Brandy
• 1 dash Angostura bitters
Garnish: grapefruit twist (none available … used a long swath of lemon peel)
Glass: champagne coupe
Tools: mixing glass, barspoon, julep strainer and a y-peeler for cutting the garnish
Assembly: Combine all ingredients in the mixing glass add cracked ice and stir for 30 seconds until well chilled. Strain into the serving glass and garnish.
The verdict: As with the "Tartan" my Islay has found a home … or at least home away from home. Actually when I ordered this at Raines I had fully expected the peaty goodness of the Peat Monster to completely overwhelm everything else in the mix; really like having the Scotch on the rocks with an after thought of the amaro and apricot brandy. As was the case in this recreate that is not the case – this is a well crafted and well balanced drink. I did not have the Peat Monster on hand but a little research yielded a little background that put the new formulation of the blend (it is a blend of malts) on the more peaty side of things (as always I welcome any commentary/thoughts/exposition on this). The Lagavulin 16-year is a fantastic Scotch that is more peat and ocean-salty goodness then it is medicinal and so I decided to sub it in. The aroma is a blend of peat yielding to a nice herbal backdrop. The taste profile is a wave of flavors – first is the peat as you would expect but it is nicely muted by the herbally-floral amaro with sweetness from the Apry towards the end. What is interesting is how the slight bitterness from the Ramazzotti almost tames in some weird way the peaty fire of the Scotch and helped it harmonize better with the other ingredients.
theSpeakista's Rating: 4 1/4 stars (out of 5)
theSpeakista asks?
1. What are your favorite Scotch-based drinks?
2. Any thoughts on Islay whiskies and their use in drinks?

Pell Grants
Pell Grants are usually a foundation of federal student aid, to which aid from other federal and non-federal sources is added, The receipt of the grant aid is totally determined by the COA-EFC formula, and for 2004-2005 topped at slightly more than $4,000.
- Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are
reserved for the most needy candidates, and are paid out in addition to
PELL grants.
- Like the PELL, FSEO Grants are also limited to $4000 per school
year, and are 'supplemental' in that they are allocated by need, on the
amount of aid you get, and the availability of funds at the school.
- While these are the only Federal grants, the college or university may have other sources of grant money at their disposal.
Federal Pell Grants
Federal Pell Grants are, by far, the most common form of grant aid.
The determination of Pell grant eligibility and amount awarded is premised on the same formula as loans:
COA - EFC = Financial Aid Package
In short, what money is needed to enable the student to attend that exceeds affordability.
Pell grants range in the vicinity of $4,000 on average per academic year.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FFSEOG)
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FFSEOG) are given to undergraduates with exceptional financial need. Unlike Pell grants, an FFSEOG might not be awarded to an eligible student – it is not an automatic "given."
Funding ranges between $100 and $4,000 and variables considered include the date a student applies, determination of need, funding level of the school, and the policies of the specific school's financial aid office.
The Federal Work-Study Program
The Federal Work-Study Program provides jobs for undergraduates with financial need. The program encourages community service work related to the student's course of study. However, to ensure employment many students will work in some office or department of their college.
Earnings are at the level of at least minimum wage but vary depending on the type of work and skills required. Undergraduates are paid by the hour. Payment is at least once a month. The school may pay the student directly or use the earned money to pay for institutional charges such as tuition, fees and room and board.
Working hours are limited and those limits cannot be exceeded. Limits are determined by factors beyond need such as class schedule and academic progress.

Process Design for Riordan Manufacturing
Process Design for Riordan Manufacturing
University of Phoenix Online
Process Design for Riordan Manufacturing
The Riordan Manufacturing plant in Hangzhou, China operates its manufacturing unit to prepare the electric fan to provide the worldwide supply based on the production forecast sales extrapolated using the theory of moving averages for last three years. This paper includes an analysis of the material requirement planning, existing process design, application of supply-chain concepts including any available global opportunities. Additionally, this paper will include a production forecast and as well as an implementation plan for lean production and a just-in-time system to optimize the profit at Riordan and improve customer satisfaction with timely delivery of orders with appropriate inventory management system. Material Requirement Planning
The material requirement planning of Riordan manufacturing is designed to supply the required material for creating the parts of electric fan in order to produce the components at each phase of assembly line production. The receiving department collects the raw material, which is processed in the molding department to make it suitable for generating parts of the fan after being polished and trimmed in the trimming department. These parts are further processed in the assembly department to make larger components such as fan blades or fan housings. The packaging departments puts each parts of the fan in right package with adequate labeling so that it can be delivered to distribution center through shipping department (University of Phoenix, 2004). There are waste by-products from above mentioned departments, which increase the cost of the finished product in the form of the electric fan. The leftover materials are used for creating customized products but it is not sufficient to minimize the inventory loss. Another drawback in the present system is the gap between the actual orders of fans and production forecasted sales based on the yearly demand of the electric fans. The gap between supply and demand challenges the management of the China Production plant to keep the adequate material for uninterrupted production of fans to achieve the proper fulfillment of orders. New Process Design
Appendix A is a flow chart for the existing system at Riordan's China plant shows that the current production process is dependent on the local supplier for stock of motors and plastic polymers in order to manufacture the electric fans. This process is able to achieve only 93% of delivery on time. The addition of an extra supplier to the manufacturer can help in getting the right stock of motors as it will increase the competitiveness between suppliers and firms which assists in getting the stock of motors. There is another option of keeping the extra stock of motors but it will affect the cost of inventory management. Since plastic polymer is available worldwide, it can be purchased locally to reduce the margin of cost of inventory. In addition to the before mentioned material requirements plan, supply chain process and technology involving lean production along with a just-in-time system can improve the operation process significantly with an improved business strategy to meet the order requirements of customers on time. Supply Chain
Supply chain processes play a crucial role in the entire lifecycle of production development, sales department and customer relationship management. It handles the bill of materials and routings to produce the electric fans in timely manner and in scheduling the delivery of the products to the customer without any slippage. The optimal processes of supply chain can provide Riordan Manufacturing a certain advantage over the competitors in the market of fans (Chase, Jacobs and Aquilano, 2006). Outsourcing...

On the steps of the Idaho State Capitol Friday morning, activists turned out to commemorate Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. The cold, windy morning set dozens of blue and silver pinwheels spinning.
"We love wind," said Roger Sherman, executive director of the Idaho Children's Trust Fund, "because we love pinwheels."
The Pinwheels for Prevention, as they're called, are a symbol of Prevent Child Abuse America, aimed at keeping the issue of childhood sexual abuse in the minds of everyone. The attendees cheered Sherman as he talked about the problem of abuse in American society.
"We don't want to talk about it," said Sherman. "We want to believe that a stranger in the park is the only threat. But in 90 percent of cases, the victim and victim's family trust the offender."
Matt Pipkin, the man behind the sexual-abuse awareness project Commit 65, also spoke before the group, which included members of Boise's Women's and Children's Alliance, the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual Abuse and Violence, the Idaho Youth Ranch and Let's Talk About It, Idaho.
"I was molested at the age of 5," said Pipkin. "It's heavy; it's icky. Nobody wants to talk about it, but that's why were taking this approach."
Pipkin plans to pilot a plane with his father continuously for 65 days to bring awareness to the cause. The entire rally was focused on broaching the issue, bringing the topic out into the light of day instead of sweeping it under the rug. According to Pipkin, his flight is a novel way to do just that.
"What does flying an airplane have to do with sexual abuse?" asked Pipkin. "Nothing, but it's an interesting way to talk about it."
At the end of the rally, attendees grabbed hands to form a human chain around the bell at the center of the Capitol steps.

Find a way to reuse
Find a way to reuse
St. John the Baptist Church
I've read that the Catholic Diocese of Fall River is merging two New Bedford parishes: St. John the Baptist, the first Portuguese Catholic church in North America, and another County Street parish, St. James. If the merger is accomplished, I hope that the landmark vacant St. John the Baptist will be put to good use rather than demolished.
I propose that we work to convert the historic building into a Portuguese Cultural & Trade Center, with its parking lot, to highlight the present and historic special relationship of New Bedford with Portugal, to educate the public about the culture, language, music, art and poetry of Portugal and to display and sell products, crafts and art from Portugal.
New Bedford and surrounding town residents deserve and would support such a vibrant center and I believe that it could be marketed successfully to the public both here and elsewhere. A priority team effort by the city administration, the church, the Portuguese consul, state representatives and, importantly, the parishioners and the Portuguese service organizations will bring this project to life while ensuring that the church will continue to serve the community effectively. It is important that the center reflect both the mainland's and the islands' culture.
My wife, Holly, had a great idea: If the corner lot across the street can be acquired and incorporated into the project (it has been a vacant, prominent eyesore with a partial foundation for many, many months now) the piece would make an attractive plaza with, perhaps, an espresso/ pastry bar similar to those found in Mediterranean countries.
