Olympos -The Myth
First there was Chaos, an endless nothing that contained everything, that could not be perceived as a shape or form. From Chaos came the five Primordials, powerful precursors of creation. These Primordials embodied into entities, with names and personalities.
The primordials went about their self appointed tasks. Gaia created her moulds of clay, lifeless and immobile. Uranyx created as well, only to watch his creations morph themselves into nothing before they ever existed. Eros submerged his/herself in a solitary ecstasy of pleasurable self exploration. While Arcadia quested into the endless void to uncover something from nothing. All the time 'Ndrian faithfully recorded the events of history in the heavens, though it seemed to be an endless repeating history of a stagnate existence.
It was 'Ndrian who called a gathering of all the primordials. It was 'Ndrian who proposed the solution to their boredom. Under the supervision of Eros, Gaia and Uranyx would have sex: to produce progeny. The unification of Gaia and the being of Change would provide creation. It would need to be recorded, being dynamic and without a preset future. Arcadia would then provide the progeny with the tools of ambition and imagination so they could utilise their gift of transformation. Eros, jealous of the others roles in this process, refused to participate unless the descendants of Gaia and Uranyx would ever after represent his/her image.
Eros blessed the procreation of Uranyx and Gaia. Humanity was spawned from their union. They were now Gods who walked amongst the mortals. 'Ndrian inscribed the history of their birth in the heavens, creating the constellations. 'Ndrian would record the histories which had only just begun. Arcadia would teach the humans to dream until the end of time. Gaia and Uranyx were parents, and so they too had no more time for poor Eros. Eros could not be happy. His/her part was done and he felt useless and cast off. He/she whispered words into Uranyx´s ear words of love, of remembrance of that one magical experience he shared with Gaia. Eros then turned unto Gaia and told her what marvellous dedication Arcadia had for her children how handsome his noble profile. Jealousy was spread, and Eros was happy with its revenge.
Arcadia was the first to stray into temptation. As devious as Eros was, she/he was still the primordial spirit of love - and so what Arcadia and Gaia felt for each other was true. They chose to be together. The air trembled. As they coupled the earth was forged (and yes it moved). In the stillness afterwards, Eros was seen leaving the mark of jealousy upon Uranyx.
A soft glow surrounded the earth as Gaia delivered her second chorus of children. Arcadia smiled as he held Gaia. Looking down upon them he named his children. And thus were born the gods of earth. Secretly Eros stole forward closer to the happenings. Then darkness of Heavenly night engulfed humanity. Uranyx stripped the power from his children leaving them vulnerable and mortal. Channelling the power within himself he focused it into change and destruction and brought it down upon Arcadia and Gaia.
The effects of this were devastating. The void surrounding chaos cracked and exploded. Creation was formed, the Ancients were altered. Gaia gathered her children to her breast to protect them. Humanity and the gods were unharmed by the initial blast. Arcadia, thinking selflessly of Gaia, attempted to shield her from the destruction. Gaia, caught by the back blast, was thrown into the newly created earth and held confined within. Arcadia, caught by the full force of the blast, was transformed into a different state of existence, remaining as only a shadow of earth. As Gaia and Arcadia were cast into their prisons, they reached out their hands for one final time to touch one another and created a gate in between Arcadia and Earth.
The explosion ripped Eros asunder, to split three ways. Emerging from the aftermath came three new beings; Yahweh the male figure, Othiym the female figure, and Aphrodite the embodiment of love. To continue to reflect this as such was the nature of their creation, humanity split into male and female segments.
Uranyx did not escape unharmed. The force of the explosion rebounded upon him and he was almost torn apart. He was placed into a state of torpor and remained so when 'Ndrian, Yahweh and Othiym found him.
A council was called of all survivors, by the consort of the self proclaimed king of the gods Zeus. His consort Hera organised the council and gathered bit by bit the entire membership. Zeus, happily, sat back and watched, he was fine about it all so long as he got to sit on the throne in the end. This was the first Grand Council of the Gods. Zeus presided over them all with Hera to his right prompting his every move. They decided what must be done. Importantly, Uranyx needed to be sentenced for the destruction he had caused. As he was incapacitated by his injuries there was no one to speak for him, in defence. The decision was final, he was to be destroyed for his crimes. The only way they new to destroy him was to cast him back into Chaos where he was born.
The council was temporarily adjourned. They slowly carried Uranyx´ inert body across the heaven; Othiym and Yahweh at the head of the procession. The faces of all who were part of the parade were grim and stony as they carried out their duty. Only 'Ndrian wept as he personally cast Uranyx into the chasm. Once the council reconvened they all reached a conclusion; The gods would have to look after their weaker siblings the humans as now that Uranyx had stripped them of all power, they were defenceless.
The gods took their consigned wards and lead them so that they spread across earth globe. Life sprung from Gaia´s rocky form with the energy that Gaia exuded from within her prison. Slowly the centuries passed, with humankind remaining powerless and impotent. They became pawns in the gods power games with one another. 'Ndrian, watching from the heavens, began to grow dissatisfied with how the humans were treated by the gods. He crafted a form made from himself, and embodying it with part of his own essence, he sent it down to earth to investigate the situation down there. Othiym had lain in wait for her chance since the Grand Council. She captured 'Ndrian´s Avatar/Son Atoa. She transformed him into a gift. Presenting it in the form of a Seed, she gave it to Gaia on the condition that Gaia would help her become the sole ruler of the gods. Gaia agreed, ignorant of where the gift had really come from.
'Ndrian, worried that his son had not returned, and took selected humans into his heavenly home. Wisely he had stripped Uranyx of his power before casting him into Chaos, and so 'Ndrian was able to bestow the gift of Mage-Avatar power upon his chosen mortals - creating the first mages. The mages he sent back to earth with a new creation of his own, the werewolves now known as the silent striders. He gave mages and the silent striders the task of finding his son.
Uranyx meanwhile had been cast into chaos, it turbulent forces bringing him out of his torporic state. He felt the pain begin as his form was slowly tearing apart. Then as he looked down at his tortured form the pain stopped. The swirling maelstrom of Chaos faded into the background. A voice spoke into his head.
"Look at what you have become my son. Look back upon your past sins, understand what you have done. I have brought you back from your destruction and replenished your power. Will you seek atonement for your sins my son?"Uranyx´s existence rewound before his eyes and he made up his mind. Uranyx declared that he would do all he was able and more to seek justice for those he had harmed.
"Rise then my son, you are no longer injured or Uranyx even. Arise now and return for you are The Prometheus."
Gaia and Aracadia
Gaia and Arcadia used the power within the Seed to send complete sensory messages through the gate to one another. All through the mythic age they continued to do this, until suddenly the gateway to Arcadia was severed at the end of the mythic age, and much of their power was trapped in between worlds in an Astral state of existence. Being such complex Messages, they were corrupted by the archetypes, layered within the universe, and after a few years they manifested into entities and so began the endless and the gaia spirits. The severance of the gateway happened as the fact that it was so frequently in use by gods and humanity it took on a spirit of it´s own. As the mythic age slowly gave way to the scientific age, the Gate decided that it must close to prevent banality from leaking through into Arcadia. The gate was then sundered Seven times and the seven unicorns that were what became of the gate spread themselves across the globe.
Baphomet and Erebus
Othiym open a hole in space and travelled into the realms of Erebus, a world far removed from Earth containing horrors of alien beauty. Othyim brought back from there a creature called Baphomet. Which she sent hunting after Yahweh. However the gateway which she opened across space couldn´t be properly sealed and allowed humanity´s negative emotions (dark glamour) to seep through into Erebus. As the centuries moved by the nightmares being created in Erebus slowly began to form together into an entity. Erebus became sentinent, he was the antithesis of Arcadia. Erebus the one of Dark Dream.
With Gaia´s help Othiym had no problem assuming the throne of the gods. She soon found that the entire human race was willing to fall at her feet. However, Yahweh was to wily to fall victim to the clumsy hunting attempts of the Baphomet. While Baphomet lay fast asleep beneath the Earth, hiding from the sun, Yahweh crept slowly up on him. Using his the power of the elements Yahweh tore Baphomet assunder. Creating the nightbreed with the many fragments of Baphomet that were scattered around the haven.
Using the newly created monsters as indications of the evil of Oythim, Yahweh slowly gathered allies among the gods. The gods he gathered were mainly the ones who were already embittered at the loss of their followers.
Forging an alliance of all the gods who felt threatened by Othiym´s militant tactics Yahweh and his allies created a huge flood that shifted the power balance dramatically away from Othiym. No sooner had Othiym lost her power than the gods, like children, began to squabble and wage war upon one another. Yahweh seeing this, began to spread theories of paranoia about the return of Othiym to power.
On this premise the Second Grand Council was called. There, Yahweh proposed the guardianship of the world be given over to him for two thousand years to set up a hatred of Othiym among the humans. After this period, where he would rule over the earth, it would be split equally among the gods and all would rule as brothers. His proposal was excepted almost unanimously. Particularly since hardly anyone but his allies turned up at the second Grand Council.
Prometheus returned to earth. He spent time over many of the centuries travelling between earth and Olympos bringing word of the gods doings to the mortals. He knew the terrible wrongs he had done all of terrestrial creation and constantly sought to set the balance to rights. He strongly fought against the gods decisions that he felt were unjust to the mortals. To achieve his ends he frequently used his cunning to outwit the self-absorbed gods. Finally though his luck expired. Zeus caught him, and sentenced him to an eternity of being chained to a mountain and constantly devoured by giant eagles while his body regrew. Powers from the Chaos from which we are all born, once again appeared to save the life of Uranyx/Prometheus. Causing a link to be created between his avatar and Chaos, they gave him the power to undo any act of the gods, unfortunately this power could take several millenia to manifest. Too late to appear in the Grand Councicl meeting that decided whether or not Yahweh would achieve dominace he consigned himself to earth where he took it as his duty to watch over the working of Yahweh.
During the heaviest periods of the crusades, Prometheus realised that Yahweh, was never going to be fair and kind to mankind, he went back to Olympos. Here within the great halls he held a secret meeting with Zeus. Zeus after weeks of discuission agreed to go with Prometheus to examine what Yahweh´s rule had done to Earth. Zeus was horrified at the desolation Yahweh had wrought, and contacted the other gods and told them of the fate of Earth. The sudden influx of divine attention upon the world brought about the renaissance.
Erebus had become a immensely powerful force on this side of the gate, as he had all the dark energy of the inquisition and plague to feed off. It realised that the renaissance would bring about a reoccurence of the mythic age and probably cause the rejoining of the gateway to Arcadia. This would ultimately destroy the stranglehold he was gaining on the dreaming of mortals. Determined to survive, Erebus manifested within a segment of humanity and used it to kill Zeus. Knowing that as he was not sufficently powerful enough to stand up to a god he framed Prometheus and should anyone prove Prometheus´ innocence, Loki created evidence linking to him being hired by Yahweh. Erebus used his increasing power attempting to track down all seven of the unicorns and destroy them.
During the explosion created by Uranyx, a large portion of the blast was concentrated into Chaos. The Power became dormant inside the chasm, and gradually over eons Entropy pervaded into it like a virus. However, because of the morphing nature of Uranyx´s power It became a force of ending not decay. Gradually the power inside the Chaos chasm began to multiply until its force of conclusion was powerful enough to end it´s entrapment in Chaos. As She emerged from chaos, slowly her awareness grew. As she developed, her desire to negate change grew stronger, her apathy declined as she began to work actively against creation and those who brought it about.
Yahweh and Othiym have been at each others throat since their great dividing, and the dominance of power has swung back and forward between them too many times to count. Yahweh currently holds the upper hand, but for the last two thousand years Othiym has been working subtly to bring about the destruction of Yahweh. She had manifested her avatar into a separate form called the Python. Unfortunately, the avatar was murdered by Apollo the Olympian. Yahweh has sent his Archangels to uncover where Othiym is hiding and destroy her, but they have had little success so far.

Bird is still a fledgling brand (sorry) but its buy-direct approach has seen its hardtails fly off the shelves. The Aeris, which first impressed us in a different build 12 months ago, is Bird's debut full-sus machine, and it's a cracking example.
The British brand capitalises on the direct sales model by enabling you to pick and choose the parts you want – everything from the fork to the grips can be swapped to suit your budget or personal taste. This adds to already great value by avoiding those all-too-common swaps. Prices start at £1,595, but we built up a mid-range bike with the aim of striking a great balance of price and performance.
Frame and equipment: modern numbers and good-value spec sheet
No spec list can make up for a poor frame, and, on paper at least, the Bird is on point here too. Geometry is modern and aggressive, with a low bottom bracket, fairly slack 66-degree head angle and long reach designed around a 35mm stem. The bike uses a Horst Link four-bar rear end, and travel can be adjusted between 140mm (5.5in) and 150mm (5.9in) – it takes just a minute to swap, and the firmer/shorter setting helps a bit with climbing.
There's no arguing with SRAM's GX drivetrain
The sizing looks odd due to the unusually short seat tube, but this is made up for with a lofty seatpost. The short seat tube means you can upsize if you want an extra-long bike. Front derailleurs and chain guides are both catered for but there's no room for a bottle cage. It's not our job to tell you what looks pretty and what doesn't, but mechanics will appreciate the faff-free external cable routing. Large and aggressive riders will find the frame a little lacking in stiffness though.
Our bike was a custom build, with kit picked on a bang-for-buck basis, so it's no surprise the spec list was on point. RockShox's Monarch RT3 DebonAir shock offers a great blend of performance and reliability, and we'd recommend going for the Maxxis Minion front tyre upgrade too. We'd happily downgrade to the Pike RC fork from the flashier RCT3, but we'd consider selling off non-vital organs to hang onto the 1x11 SRAM GX gearing.
Ride and handling: a confident descender but flex and grip niggles
Even in the shorter 140mm travel setting, the Bird is a touch sluggish when pedalling hard or sprinting, but a flick of the shock's pedal-platform lever keeps this under control. We found the seat angle too slack for the steepest climbs, but the kinked tube means shorter riders will experience a slightly steeper effective seat angle. With the shock in the medium pedalling mode, climbing isn't at all bad for a bike of this travel, and the long top tube opens out the lungs to improve comfort on the ascents.
We switched to Minion rubber after experiencing grip issues
Pointed downhill, the progressive suspension deals with bumps of all kinds very well indeed. It's business as usual with the supple and progressive Pike up front. The rear shock comes with a full complement of Bottomless Ring volume spacers, so there's no need to buy them separately afterwards. After initial testing, we opted to remove the two spacers fitted to the negative chamber.
This boosted initial suppleness and (crucially) mid-stroke support too. With five spacers in the positive spring, the front and rear suspension were nicely balanced, remaining supple yet ramping up nicely for bottom-out control. Combined with the long/low/slack geometry, this meant the Bird felt extremely comfortable and planted on the straights.
Bigger riders may notice some flex when cornering aggressively
Initially though, we struggled with front end grip. The Maxxis High Roller II front tyre was just too square on the 27mm wide Easton Arc rim, breaking out easily when leaned in hard, so we switched to the rounder Minion in the grippier 3C compound – a £4 upgrade from Bird, which we highly recommend. After playing around with bar height we still struggled to weight the front properly and ride aggressively. Fitting a wider, stiffer bar cured the washy front end, but the extra leverage highlighted some frame flex in the front triangle when ridden hard.
This flex is most apparent when wrestling the bar on stiff climbs or hitting consecutive corners, where it causes the bike to snake lazily through the bends rather than cutting a crisp and precise line. Smaller sizes will likely be stiffer due to the shorter tubes used, and lighter or less hell-for-leather riders will stress the frame less severely too. The on-trend geometry, sorted spec and supple suspension will whisk these riders down gnarly terrain with aplomb, but if you're a big lad who wants to smash into corners as fast as possible, this probably isn't the bike for you.

BRIDGEWATER, NJ - Somerset Patriots' left-handed relief pitcher Keith Hessler has signed with the Colorado Rockies organization.
The former major leaguer made 13 appearances with Somerset in 2017, striking out 13 batters over 13.1 innings pitched. He also made two relief appearances in the postseason over which he tossed two shutout innings with three strikeouts.
The Silver Spring, Maryland native made his Major League debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Aug. 8, 2015. He appeared in 18 games with the Diamondbacks that year, striking out 12 batters over 12.1 innings.
Hessler has split time between the Triple-A and MLB level since 2015 with the Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres. During the 2016 season he made 15 relief appearances at the big league level with a 3.38 ERA and nine strikeouts over 18.2 innings.
The southpaw began his 2017 campaign with the Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas in the Padres organization. The left-hander struck out 36 batters in 45.1 innings over 41 appearances with the team.
Hessler was originally drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 28th round of the 2010 MLB June Amateur Draft out of Coastal Carolina University. The Padres claimed Hessler off of waivers from Arizona in May of 2016.
Over the course of his seven-year professional career, Hessler has appeared in 323 games (35 starts), with 27 wins and seven saves.
Hessler becomes the 15th player from Somerset's 2017 roster to be added to a Major League organization. He joins left-handed pitchers Jeremy Bleich, Logan Darnell (twice) and Aaron Laffey, along with right-handed pitchers Tyler Cloyd, Ryan Kelly, Vin Mazzaro, Mitch Atkins and Dustin Antolin as pitchers to either have their contracts purchased or sign with an MLB club. Infielders Tyler Bortnick and Joe Maloney – alongside outfielders Jerry Sands, Christian Marrero and Justin Pacchioli – also joined Major League organizations during or after the 2017 season.

January brings us thoughts of cold weather, snow and hibernating. Not those darn Kean's! They loved them some January Weddings!
While today, January weddings are not super common due to the unpredictability of the weather, the Kean family bucked to that tradition and chose it as their wedding month of choice. Due to social norms, after Christmas everyone hibernated in New York until Spring (like bears!), so you knew everyone would be in town that you would want to invite to your wedding. There were no excuses! The other funny thing about weddings during this time period is that many were held during the week. To quote the Dowager Countess, What is a weekend??
Because of the social calendars of upper class families, summers were spent in either Newport or Europe so having a wedding then would make no sense. No guests = no wedding presents.
Here are our blushing brides for January:
Lucy Halsted marries Colonel John Kean – January 13, 1847: We know nothing about their wedding except that they were married on a Wednesday.
Katharine Winthrop marries Hamilton Fish Kean – January 12, 1888: They married at Grace Church in New York. The reception was at their family home on the corner of 20th & 5th Ave.
Mary Alice Barney marries Captain John Kean – January 20, 1925: Her wedding was on a Tuesday in New York during a snowstorm! Their reception was held at the Barney household. They spend their first time as husband and wife at Liberty Hall before embarking on a 4 month honeymoon through the United States. The picture below is of them on the front steps of Liberty Hall, right before they left! Today would have been their 91st wedding anniversary!!!

Welcome to the community. You have chosen the healthiest method. Congratulations.
welcome naturals the best way to go tnr next best (but alot if not most that start with tnr or v=backcomb wish they went natural)
Welcome. Natural is the healthiest, but not everyone is ready to just let nature do it's thing. TnR is the second best method to start. Back combing is ok, but it does considerable damage to your hair in the process.
Be aware that with any starter method, you will see a 1 step forward 2 steps back progress. They will come untangled before they start to tighten. That's normal. Don't try to redo them.
Check out the dreaducation page first and then the timeline foums o see what you'll be in for in the coming weeks and months
Welcome to the community. Most people here will advise that you grow them naturally, and I would be one of them, but the other good method id TnR. Have a good read of the dreaducation tab before you decide anything.

by Al-Akhbar
About 13.6 million people, equivalent to the population of London, have been displaced by conflicts in Syria and Iraq, many without food or shelter as winter starts, the UN refugee agency said on Tuesday.
"The whole humanitarian community is facing shortfalls. People are becoming numb," said Amin Awad, who heads UNHCR's Middle East and North Africa bureau.
"Now when we talk about a million people displaced over two months, or 500,000 overnight, the world is just not responding," he told reporters in Geneva.
The 13.6 million include 7.2 million displaced within Syria – an increase from a long-held UN estimate of 6.5 million, as well as 3.3 million Syrian refugees abroad, 1.9 million displaced in Iraq and 190,000 who have left to seek safety.
The vast majority of Syrian refugees have gone to Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey, countries which Awad said "are putting us all to shame" with their support for homeless Syrian families.
"Other countries in the world, especially the Europeans and beyond, should open their borders and share the burden."
UNHCR says it is short of $58.5 million in donations to prepare 990,000 people for winter, money that would cover basic supplies such as plastic sheeting and warm clothing.
Awad said Russia and China, both in the UN Security Council, came in bottom of a list of top donors and should contribute more.
"Politically they cannot really be indifferent, therefore humanitarian is an imperative and it has to be put first and foremost if there is no (political) settlement … They need to contribute one way or the other, like the others do," he said.
Lack of funds
The UN refugee agency said Tuesday it had been forced to slash the number of people it can help prepare for winter in conflict-ravaged Syria and Iraq for lack of funds.
Awad lamented that his agency was forced to make "tough choices."
The agency said it was facing a shortfall of $58 million (47 million euros) for its efforts to prepare millions of displaced people in Syria and Iraq for winter.
As a result, as many as one million displaced people desperate for blankets, kerosene, warm clothes and other items needed to keep warm and dry may have to go without assistance, it warned.
"I wish we could support everybody, and I wish that we could keep everybody warm," Amin told reporters in Geneva, adding however that "the world is not responding."
"Many fled with nothing," UNHCR spokeswoman Melissa Fleming told reporters.
With winter already on the doorstep, and temperatures falling as low as minus 16 degrees Celsius in some parts of Syria and Iraq, UNHCR has already invested $154 million in winter aid for the devastated countries.
But because of the funding shortfall, it has been forced to revise down the number of people it can help.
The agency had planned to help 1.4 million people in Syria and 600,000 people in Iraq, but now expects to reach only 620,000 in Syria and 240,000 in Iraq.
As a result, UNHCR said it was being forced to make "some very tough choices over who to prioritize."
"The needs are massive but funding has not kept up apace with the new displacement," Fleming said.
Those at higher, colder altitudes, as well as vulnerable people such as the sick, the elderly and newborns, are first in line for aid, Amin said.
He noted that 11 young children froze to death in Syria last year.
"The same can happen this year with children, elderly and frail persons," he warned.

This is my first blog party. I hope to get to know several other bloggers. If you want to join the party, click here.
Here is a little about myself:
My name is Ashley Ortega. I have been quilting since I was in upper-elementary school. My mom signed my sister and I up for a quilting class at a local quilt store. This is where my love of quilting began. I have created several quilts, table runners, and much more since this time. My grandmother helped continue to give me passion and has always encouraged me. One of the highlights of my year is going to the Houston, TX Quilt Show every year.
I got married in Jan 2010 to my amazing husband, Jesse. He is not the only the most patient man I know, but my best friend and the love of my life. He has learned that quilting makes me happy so he supports me and just hands me the money We have two little dogs, Sasha (4-5 years old) and Max (almost 1 year old).
Please leave a comment and let me know where your blog is so I can visit it. Also, let me know if there is a certain type of sewing project I could share with you.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Information from Greenshift.
The court ruled last week that the Patents in Suit were additionally unenforceable because of inferences that our inventors and attorneys engaged in inequitable conduct by knowingly withholding material information with an intent to deceive the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO").
Both rulings are appealable. We disagree with the court's conclusions in each ruling, and believe that each decision relied heavily on an erroneous determination that the inventions were reduced to practice in 2003 as a result of limited, small-scale bench testing.
Nevertheless, the USPTO allowed CleanTech's patents after considering the very information that the court found to have been withheld from the USPTO, and upon which the bulk of the court's recent ruling was based.
We are eager to finally mount our appeal

Hi Everyone,
My name is Richard and I've been in the hobby for about a year and a half now, with about 2 years in cichlids before that. I received suprise approval from the Mrs to change out my 75g for a 180g. I've been on
MASCfor a while, but for such a large tank I think I need to expand my search to The Springs as well. I looked through the classifieds, and there are a couple 180s that probably don't fit my needs... I'm hoping for a glass tank in good condition (had a 75 break on me a couple years ago, so I'm paranoid and won't really consider any tank that's been sitting in a garage that isn't climate controlled).
Anyway, I'd love to post a WTB ad. Does anyone know what I need to do to post in that section?

The airlines company, Indonesia AirAsia continues to strengthen domestic routes. On February 14, 2012, Indonesia AirAsia will open a new domestic route flights, Surabaya – Bandung and Surabaya – Denpasar.
"In addition to our commitment to develop the domestic routes, the second launch of this route is also our responsibility to encourage tourism and the economy of the archipelago," said Dharmadi, the President Director of AirAsia Indonesia on Monday (12/12).
Surabaya is the second largest city in Indonesia.

The young generation of Bandung which will be full of innovative ideas has pushed the creative industries in the city is growing very rapidly.
Similar to Bandung, Bali also has the attraction of creative industries is unusually large, but rather based on local culture. Besides being a favorite tourist destination in the world, the island is also famous for its performances of traditional performing arts and antiques.
"With the new route Surabaya - Bandung and Surabaya - Denpasar, then Bandung, Bali and Surabaya are connected directly.

Previously, AirAsia already opened Surabaya – Medan route in 2010 and Jakarta to Semarang route.
For information, in the year 2012, AirAsia plans to increase market share in Indonesia from 3% to 10% and the target number of passengers to 6.2 million people.

Wednesday marks the 99th anniversary of the United States entering World War I. Few areas of my understanding of world history are as weak as my grasp on why people killed each other in large numbers between July 1914 and November 1919.
What's clear is that New York City paid a fairly steep price for it: More than 7,400 dead, according to the database maintained by the New York State Military Museum.
In light of that, the city boasts at least seven World War I memorials, according to the Parks Department.
The World War I Centennial Committee is beginning to prepare for next year's larger anniversary.
In the meantime, below is a list of New York City casualties culled from the larger Military Museum roster.

Do you know what?
Stainless steels do not need any extra coating to increase their resistance to corrosion. However, if you need to paint it, the paint should be preceded by a careful preparation of the surface:
- First, a thorough cleaning of the surface to eliminate any grease.
- Second, preparing the surface with abrasive paper or felt and again cleaning with a solvent and then rinse with plenty of water.
- The paint should be applied after a primer depending on the type of painting.
- Do not forget to comply with the primer and varnish manufacturer's drying time.
It is recommended to follow the recommendations of the experts in painting.
Stainless steel magnetic permeability is usually very low, almost vacuum. To the point of being considered nonmagnetic but, increasing with work hardening. Sometimes it can come out in deep drawing processes
AISI 304 or AISI 316 may be used in humid environments. The election between them will depend on concentration, design and maintenance, being the latter an essential part that is not always carried out and often causes the failure of the element.
Though there are many grades of stainless steel, this enquiry was about AISI 304, which is quite common and widely used. If you wish to have more information about other grades you may follow ...

The WEHIA conference is the annual conference of the Society for Economic Science with Interacting Agents (ESHIA). The society aims to provide a unique medium of communication for multidisciplinary approaches, either empirical or theoretical, to the study of complex socio-economic problems. It intends to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas and exchange of concepts and techniques developed within diverse scientific disciplines including economics, social sciences physics, and computer science. The focus of ESHIA is especially on simulating and synthesizing emergent phenomena and collective behaviors to understand real economic and social systems. ESHIA is particularly keen to showcase applications of agent-based modeling such as market microstructure design, policy analysis, systemic risk, and financial engineering. Agents, heterogeneity and interactions are key concepts in multidisciplinary approaches and provide a major driving force to study, either empirical or theoretical, of the socio-economic systems research.

Started my day out singing with these two amazing moms
Spent the afternoon with these two
The evening with this one
And bed time with these three that made me a mom
Being a mom is my life's greatest work and greatest gift.
I am so thankful God has gifted me the opportunity.
And I am so glad I get to do it with such amazing examples to look up to and incredible confidants at my side. It is just so much sweeter.

Mass Live: Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey ask feds for details on cutting off funding for Massachusetts sanctuary cities
Pushing back on President Trump's executive order cutting federal funding to "sanctuary jurisdictions," US Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey on Monday sent a letter to top administration officials calling the order unconstitutional and asking them to break down the impact of denying funding to Massachusetts.
Two Massachusetts cities, Chelsea and Lawrence, are suing the Trump administration over the order. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh has said he is willing to offer up City Hall itself as a "last resort" to protect immigrants.
The state's annual budget includes nearly $11 billion in money from the federal government, with funds going to health insurance for children, affordable housing, and nursing care for veterans, among other programs.

Have spent most of this evening trying to get Apple Music working on my Macbook.
Unable to access your iCloud Music Library.
Apparently, so some people have said, Apple Music only really works for those with less than 25,000 songs.
Well, that's fucking useful isn't it. The sort of people who'll spend a tenner a month are probably the sort who have more than that.

There is something really satisfying about cleaning my car. I am one of those people who will happily spend every Sunday afternoon polishing my car till it shines. Some women are house proud but I am just car proud. The down side is that I have discovered that I have a hole in my shoe after some serious pressure-washing.
I am very fussy about which shoes I buy but this time it is more urgent. My trainers, after three years of every-day wear, have given up the fight for life. After being rebellious and not undoing the laces I have rubbed through the fabric which has caused the hard plastic bit to dig into my heel. As I am a miser at heart, all this means is that I wear thicker socks and some strategically placed elastoplast. This would be no problem but the soles have worn through and the upper bit is starting to detach from the lower bit (hence the hole). In short, the look a bit of a mess. And I have to look good.
I like buying bags and shoes. I can't stop myself from walking into every outdoor shop to look at the outdoor trainers and the rucksacks. I have bags for every occasion; walking, climbing, trekking, running. No handbags or little leather numbers. That is a small lie because I do own a small, dare I say it, smart bag for special occasions. Like weddings.
My cousin is getting married in a few weeks and I have dug out the aforesaid girly bag from the back of my wardrobe. I also tried on my wedding kit (a fabulous Kaliko suit which cost me an effing fortune but it so fantastic that I didn't care). The last time I wore it was at my school graduation and it still fits. It is a little tighter than I'd like but nothing that can't be sorted out with emergency sit-ups. And yes, I shall be wearing the hat.
Is wearing a hat at weddings outdated? I went to a wedding in Toronto and I was the only person wearing one. My hat is not very small (it is a full-on meringue hat) and I stuck out like a sore thumb as the only English person there. People came up to me and said:
"You're English right?"
"Thought so."
My mother and other female members of my family are wandering around muttering "wedding...hat...". Maybe it's a geographical thing. Canadians don't do hats at weddings as far as I can tell. Neither do the Dutch apparently. The etiquette of hats is a nightmare for the uneducated. Fortunately all I need to remember is "keep the hat on until the brides mother takes hers off".
But I am supposed to be an usher. How I am supposed to be an usher with a whopoff millstone of a hat is anyone's guess! Maybe it is not such a good idea. No of course it is a good idea. Be quiet Jane. Ok sorry Jane.
Unclear of my duties (I have never been married myself so I have no real information on the matter) I did a spot of googling and came up with the following....
Best man: Makes sure the groom turns up, is sober and is dressed. Also has rings.
Bridesmaids: Makes sure that the bride is well turned out and does not have the back other dress tucked into her pants.
Usher: Deals with everything inside the church like showing guests to their seats and deals with any emergencies. Expected to have sewing kit and other equipment for when the brides father splits the seat of his trousers five minutes before kick off.
Right. Got it.
The last wedding I actively participated in was for my cousin's first wedding in which the other bridesmaid threw up down the aisle and I started crying (I was five). I promised that I would do neither this time. It should be a giggle anyway. We will look like the beige army but we will wear our hats and look the dogs bollocks. Photos to follow.

Re: The Pink Album!it's actually dirtyzine.co.uk :)
Re: The Pink Album!i know, was being stupid/sleepy!
has anyone heard this yet????
Re: The Pink Album!Tracklisting:
01. Psychic Firm (2:20)

10. Massachusetts Murder Medallions (3:54)
11. Red & Black (3:45)
12. We Got Down (3:13)
i've heard most! its more of a definitive collection or grouping of old stuff rather than a studio produced album (as i think we've mentioned before) If all goes to plan i will have something special to announce for the 6th or 7th October! hush hush for now though yeah?!?
also from reading the KK messageboard it looks like they are behind sending out copies ofr those that have pre-ordered! huh, so much for pre-release - its out Monday! uber exclusive too.
Re: The Pink Album!yeah none of this is the stuff theyve done with albini i hear. i was also aware that this i older material, but ive only heard a few songs so im just about goin nuts! cant wait to hear this! and the prospect of yet more new material is droolworthy.
500 copies though, jeez, hope i was quick enough, just checked thier site purely by chance and therre it was, feeling very osrry for the fans unable to get a copy who have posted. would offer to copy mine for them, but that would be illegal*nudge nudge*
Re: The Pink Album!YAY!! mines here finally: KK047
I've listened to it ALL just know and it is the first 100% / 10/10 / A* album i've bought in a LONG time. Everything is just perfect from start to end - a lot of it reminds me of prime Sonic Youth stuffs - esp with the nice dreamy scales at the outro (i dunno, im a drummer, but yeah) If there unreleased Albini stuff is anything like this and/or better I so looking forward to their second release - should be later this year?!?
HIT THE FLOOR is probably one of the best on there. Dan is an awesome bassist.
So i got me no.47 - does that mean there are some 453 left? surely not. i was thinking all 500 copies would have been snatched up ages ago!
SUBverse online shoppe
Re: The Pink Album!(*Tim is an awesome bassist)
Re: The Pink Album!Hmm, looking at this I'm brought back to 1995 for some reason.
Re: The Pink Album!I ordered mine from the Subverse shop earlier this week but haven't got it yet. Grrrr.
Re: The Pink Album!Hmmm, just ordered mine from the Subverse store. Not convinced mine will be as nifty and "hand-made" as the ones you guys have - don't think it'll be limited edition.
We'll see....
Re: The Pink Album!I noticed the same thing Filip, although, the KK album is in a slipcase type packaging and doesn't have the name of the band written on it so there are some differences...
Anyway, got my copy today, very impressive album, also, the best art work I've ever seen (it's literally a pink coloured cardboard slipcase and the only thing written on it is "KK039"). I love how they've turned probably the best intro for a song ever and made it even better (Red & Black). The new stuff sounds awsome too.
Re: The Pink Album!Ok folks. I've never heard this band before so if this CD is rubbish I'll blame you. I just ordered a copy.
Re: The Pink Album!I'm still waiting for mine, although I'm 100% sure that it will be amazing.
Re: The Pink Album!yeah, been waiting quite a while for mine too. definitely got my order through though. sent a cheque off the first time, but the bank wont accept cheques with SUBverse, like it is written, so had to start all over again.
this isnt intended as thier debut album as such i dont think, its more a collection of early songs.
I mean right now theyve done and are doing shit with Albini, giggidy giggidy giggidy
Re: The Pink Album!I've heard from my DirtyZine boys that it's pretty fucking special, what they're doing with him!
I got mine thru today. Nuber 68!
Re: The Pink Album!at long last! number 54!
Re: The Pink Album!After 3 days of constant repetion of this album i hereby declare: THIS IS THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME BAR NONE! certainly my greatest musical purchase of this yr. Its scarily gooood + i hear their unreleased magic with Mr. Albini is meant to be even rader?!? i <3 KK
Re: The Pink Album!im on my first listen and it indeed sounds fantastic! :) on 'Tear It Up' the now, and its special
Re: The Pink Album!Wow, 'we got down' gets quite emotional, its quite touching towards the end

1812 US Forces 3
The final batch of US troops now. First up, Mounted Kentucky Volunteers. Love the top hats, gentlemen! The Indian scout & a couple on the left were EBay purchases. The two rugged fellas next to the scout, started life as Del Prado figures. Both conversions, with the addition of some Milliput clothing. One was a Royal Scots Grey & the other a Prussian Dragoon.
Next up are some Perry Plastic French Dragoons in US Blue colours. Next two more Infantry units, one in the summer White uniform & the other in the Blue.

It is no exaggeration to say that major parts of the Internet we all know and love today exist and thrive because of Barlow's vision and leadership. He always saw the Internet as a fundamental place of freedom, where voices long silenced can find an audience and people can connect with others regardless of physical distance.
A true giant of a man. I got to meet him twice; the second time in a Fry's in San Jose, CA. Hubski, hell most of the Internet for that matter, would not exist in its current form without him.

Dr Oz Perpetuates Migraine Myths
I just spent the last half hour trying to find the video segment on the Dr Oz Show website so I could post it here for anyone who missed it. The website always includes videos of show segments. I guess someone over there had enough sense to leave this segment out.
Since I can't provide you with the video let me tell you what happened. First, for those of you who don't know, Iyanla Vanzant is a famous life-coach and author, basically a self-help guru. She used to be on Oprah frequently and has had a couple of self-help-like shows of her own over the years. In general, I'm a fan, tending to believe that we have tremendous power in our mind to hinder or help our situations. Learning how to harness this power is a great skill and she is a great teacher.
Her assertion with Dr Oz was that she could help heal physical ailments that were connected to these emotional barriers in our lives. So Dr Oz brought on a woman who he said had one of the conditions he hears a lot about from women, migraines. Cut to her pre-recorded video segment where she talks about having increasing stressors and the correspondingly increasing frequency of her migraines. She talks about going to the doctor and being told there is nothing they can do for her.
Now we're back live and Iyanla asks the woman to tell her what she is most afraid of people finding out about her. She says it is something to the effect that her marriage isn't so strong anymore. Iyanla has her tap her hand and repeat some words. The emotions are brought to the surface and the woman feels heard and recognized probably for the first time in years. No doubt that was a healing moment for her emotionally.
Migraines are actually a real neurological disease and CANNOT be healed by improving emotional health. The fact that Dr Oz chose a woman who reports to have migraines for this segment because, as he pointed out, this is a condition he hears a lot about from women, makes me mad. If he's hearing a lot about migraines then maybe he should do an actual segment about the facts surrounding migraines instead of perpetuating the myth that it is nothing more than a by-product of a woman not dealing with her stress well enough.
Beyond that, I have a lot of questions. Who is this doctor this woman went to who told her there is nothing that can be done about migraines? Did she actually get diagnosed with migraines or is that her word to describe her bad headache? How could Dr Oz bring this woman on and never address her medical condition from a medical stand point? Shame, shame, shame.
The last thing the migraine community needs is a famous, high profile medical professional out there making the job of understanding and educating others about this disease more difficult.
Am I the only one out there who is hopping mad?
5 comments:
I didn't see this episode, but I'm also frustrated with you that no one actually addressed possible causes for her migraines. I think migraines are under-researched and underrated, especially with the amount of people who suffer from them.ReplyDelete
She probably is having stress *headaches*, and like you said, is using the word migraine instead (after all, the word "migraine" garners more attention and pity than "headache"). But whether it is or isn't a headache or migraine, why aren't they trying to publicly "fix it"? Did Dr. Oz not want to be the hero in this one?
I did not see it, and I'm glad I didn't. I would have been furious! I've had many people suggest to me that they are caused by emotions, etc, and it is so wrong!ReplyDelete
Just more for people to repeat and not know what they are taking about. I have family members who tell me that all i need to do is drink more water and the headaches would go away.ReplyDelete
I did not see this but I am super happy I did not. I probably would have been yelling at the tv. I've noticed an increase in "news" stories on migraine but they all still seem to have their data wrong. I'm not sure which is worse falsely educating people or having no one understand what a true migraine is.ReplyDelete
I didn't see this, but I agree that it sounds like it did not help the migraine community in any way. I have had hemiplegic migraines since I was 6 or 7 years old and my family has done their best to support and sympathize with me, but yesterday I hung up the phone on my mom when she told me that I need to just stop stressing. I understand that anxiety does not help migraines, but how can you stop stressing when your health issues are the reason for your stress?!ReplyDelete

The Cloud Party Camera
One of the pieces of the Cloud Party virtual world user interface that I am most pleased with is the built-in "cellphone" camera, which allows you to take and save any number of pictures. Although I can see the need to create folders and subfolders for those of us who are snap-happy, right now it is great fun to be able to record our island-hopping explorations.
Here are some pictures I have taken in the past week (no URLs for these photos, unfortunately):
Send in your photos (please include a URL if possible) and I'll post them here in the newsblog :-)

Watch: Video tour of 18th century country manor in Comber, Co Down
Enjoy the prestige of country manor style living in this beautiful 18th century mansion in North Down. Stephanie Bell reports...
You can be Lord or Lady of your own majestic manor house as one of the country's most impressive historic homes comes onto the market.
Maxwell Court is an elegant pile dating back to the 1700s which offers complete privacy set within six acres of mature gardens.
Originally built for the Cairns family in Comber the property once had a working corn mill in the grounds.
The five-bay two storey central block is original but the addition of in the 19th century of a gabled centrepiece, dormers in the roof and long single storey wings with bay windows have given it an overall Victorian appearance.
It is an extensive home which retains much of its original detailing and fine craftsmanship throughout its vast interior.
The accommodation is set over three floors and there is everything you need in terms of space for a family and visitors.
A wood panelled reception hall with cloakroom leads to a formal drawing room, morning room, formal dining room, living room, family room, country kitchen open to casual dining and rear cloakroom/utility/second kitchen.
There is also a rear return built in 1910 that includes an attractive panelled 'school room' overlooking the rear courtyard and patio area and additional accommodation, adaptable for a number of uses.
On the first floor, there are three spacious bedrooms including master suite with en suite and dressing room, plus two bathrooms.
There are 10 bedrooms in total, a luggage room and an attic room.
Outside, the grounds are in keeping with the size and prestige of the property with around two acres of beautiful landscaped gardens with rolling lawns, a summer house, greenhouse, orchard and vegetable garden. There is also a paddock and front field.
A courtyard houses an extensive range of outbuildings which subject to planning could be redeveloped for more accommodation, offices or even a leisure facility.
An entrance porch with quarry tiled floor, wood panelled walls and double hardwood doors leads into a beautiful hallway with original wood panelled walls giving it that country gentry feel.
As you tour the extensive living accommodation original features abound and in the grandeur of the morning room there is more of that beautiful wood panelling with built in cupboards, a fabulous original wood carved fireplace, tall dual windows with window seats and shutters and parquet flooring.
The drawing room has a huge bay window and another bay shaped floor to ceiling wall of glass with French doors opening onto the gardens.
There is more of that superb ornate detailed cornicing, a wonderful marble fireplace and solid strip wood flooring.
The dining room is another large space with an ornate marble fireplace and cornicing. It is finished with solid oak strip flooring and window shutters.
The kitchen is a welcoming, homely space fitted in country style hand painted solid wood units with a four oven oil fired Aga cooker and Belfast sink.
A lovely bay window with seat floods light to a spacious dining area. There is a pantry cupboard and a dishwasher and the room is finished with a rough cast ceramic stone floor and tongue and groove ceiling. Glazed double doors open to a lovely family room.
This cosy space has French doors opening onto the garden and another set of glazed double doors opening onto the hallway.
No grand country home is complete without a boot room to store your muddy outdoor clothes and this one has built in shelving and double doors leading to a patio.
There is a second kitchen or utility beside the dining room for easy entertaining with a door opening into a cold room or pantry.
The living room is also wood panelled with a beautiful high wood carved fireplace, parquet flooring and corniced ceiling.
The period beauty continues upstairs where on the landing you will find a lovely window seat to enjoy the views over the beautiful gardens.
The master bedroom also befits the property with an elegant carved wood fireplace and a carved four poster bed looks right at home here.
The en suite is luxurious with a feature vaulted ceiling and a claw and ball roll top bath, fully tiled shower cubicle with drench shower head and a Royal Doulton sink with granite top and splashback.
This leads through to dressing room with a feature bay window and vaulted ceiling.
Bedroom two also comes with a dressing room and a fireplace and there is an original fireplace in the third bedroom.
The bathrooms on this floor are modern but styled in keeping with the period beauty of the house.
Four of the remaining bedrooms have original fireplaces.
The school room is rather special with a beautiful carved fireplace with French pot bellied stove, part wood panelled walls and carved window seat plus original leaded glass window.
The gardens are inviting and offer space to walk, play, entertain and enjoy harvesting your own fruit and vegetables.
Mature plants and trees abound among paved pathways and a beautiful feature is an original Edwardian greenhouse with dining area and grape vines.

I promised myself the other day that I would write a post about something that I view as a serious fallacy related to development: the notion that dealing with infectious disease will just shift the death toll to hunger, rather than genuinely saving people. This view is misguided for reasons both moral and pragmatic. I will focus on the pragmatic here, since people who advance this neo-Malthusian argument tend to think of themselves as well-meaning but realistic. The first set of arguments have to do with the local capabilities of communities. The second, lesser, set have to do with the nature of the provision of aid. I will quickly examine each in turn.
The three big diseases upon which I will concentrate are HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis (TB). These have been rightly banded together as the three most serious global health concerns, with regards to infectious diseases. Each kills more than a million people a year, as well as making far more ill. As a bacterial illness, effective cures exist for all but the most resistant strains of tuberculosis. While no effective cure exists for either malaria or HIV/AIDS, drugs exist that can extend survival dramatically, and mechanisms exist to greatly restrict the spread of such illnesses. The notion that doing so would produce an equally severe problem elsewhere is based on a misconception about how such illnesses affect communities.
Local capabilities
Sick people are not productive people. Communities with high prevalance rates of infectious diseases lose agricultural productivity as members of the working population either become ill or need to spend their time caring for those who are. This is especially bad with regards to HIV/AIDS, which tends to kill people during their most productive years. That has left behind millions of orphans, who further draw upon the capabilities of the community in which they live. All manner of grim statistics could be brought to bear upon this point, but it seems intuitively obvious enough to stand on its own.
The possibilities of simultaneously dealing with the various factors that make extreme poverty endemic are demonstrated by the '12 research villages' that Jeffrey Sachs has established throughout Africa. The plan is to have 1000 by 2009. Each receives practical aid at the level of $250 per inhabitant: directed towards dealing with disease, boosting agricultural output, education, and other objectives espoused by the Millennium Development Goals. The whole program can be expressed in terms of seven simple goals:
Fertiliser and seed to improve food yield; anti-malarial bed nets; improved water sources; diversification from staple into cash crops; a school feeding programme; deworming for all; and the introduction of new technologies, such as energy-saving stoves and mobile phones.
The results so far seem to be very good, in terms of declining levels of infectious disease, improved crop yields and educational results, and the like. As with so many other projects, the difficulty is in scaling up the the point where millions of lives can be changed, but the example demonstrates how even a relatively inexpensive aid policy can produce tangible results in a number of crucial areas, without hitting any of the Malthusian barriers imagined by those who say that feeding hungry children just makes hungry adults. Another laudable feature of the program: all aspects of it are implemented and directed at a local level, reducing the extent that neocolonialist intentions can be attributed to the donors or international organizers.
World capabilities
Even in those cases where a sudden burst of attention enormously lessens the burden of disease in a food-strapped community, the difficulties of dealing with that situation are far easier than those of dealing with a place where one of these big three diseases has become endemic.
That's partly because food provision doesn't require the delivery of expertise into an area. The lack of qualified medical personnel in places like Sub-Saharan Africa is a major reason for which infectuous disease is so problematic there. The rich world has a double guilt in this capacity: because the austerity programs that were part of the structural adjustment policies of the IMF and World Bank have prevented governments from investing in such human capital, and because lots of rich countries (including Canada and the UK) have been doing all they can to buy up doctors and nurses from the poor world to help address problems in their own health systems.
Obviously, just providing food aid or help with specific problems isn't adequate for dealing with persistent extreme poverty. That said, it seems foolish to voluntarily refrain from deploying such assistance as is politically and economically viable because of concerns about "feeding those who will die anyhow." On the global level, the economic emergence of Asia – in which extreme poverty levels have seen amazing reductions in recent decades – shows what is possible even in the face of considerable levels of corruption, disease, and mismanagement.

would you recommend tax-loss selling within a registered account such as an RRSP as well?
Thank you,
Do you own stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other marketable securities? Are you looking to get a tax advantage from selling money losing investments? Tax-loss selling may just be the tax strategy that is right for you!
When owning stocks, shares, and other types of investments, it is common to accrue losses as the market values of securities fluctuate. An accrued loss occurs when you own investments that have a market value today that is less than what you initially paid for them. These accrued losses become a tax advantage when realized, in other words when you sell them. Realized losses can be used to offset capital gains in your portfolio. This strategy is known as Tax-loss selling. It is especially important to realize these losses at the end of the year because if they go unrealized, you will have to pay taxes on the capital gains that you have in your portfolio.
The useful thing about capital losses is that capital losses that cannot be used in the current year may be used to offset capital gains incurred up to three years prior or it can be carried forward indefinitely to offset any future capital gains. However, in order for capital losses to be available immediately in the current year, the settlement must take place no later than December 24th of that year, so that it may be processed before the end of the year. It is important to note that if shares are purchased in a foreign currency, the gain or loss may be larger than anticipated once the exchange rate is taken into account.
By using this simple tax strategy, you can strategically offset any realized capital gains.

would you recommend tax-loss selling within a registered account such as an RRSP as well?
Thank you,
Hi Aurelien,
No, I do not recommend this because income earned inside a RRSP is not subject to taxation. Tax loss selling makes sense when you have realized gains from the sale of non registered investments.

A natural, 100% pure essential amino acid to support your immune system. L-Lysine also plays an important role in energy production as well as in the production of collagen, which is essential for healthy bones, joints and connective tissue.SEE DETAILS AND BENEFITS
Featured Review:
" On Trial with this one. "
It was suggested that i try this product to help with my low Thyroid condition, which has been a problem for many years. I have only been taking Lysine 400 for about 2 weeks and cannot be sure it is activating my Thyroid, but I will continue taking it with the hope that I don't have to go back to a drug. I will post my results again in the future after a fair trial.
Product Details
Andrew Lessman's Lysine-400 is a pure, natural source of the essential amino acid L-Lysine. Lysine has become a very popular supplement because of its role in supporting the immune system, as well as its central role in fat burning and energy metabolism.
Lysine is one of nine amino acids referred to as "essential" because it cannot be produced by the body. Lysine is vital for the growth and development of body tissues and also plays a critical role in the body's production of energy, since it is a precursor to acetyl CoA, a critical component of all energy metabolism.
Additionally, Lysine is also a precursor to Carnitine, which is essential for all fat metabolism. Lysine also plays an important structural role in the formation of collagen, a vital component of healthy skin, bones, joints and connective tissue (tendons, ligaments and cartilage). Lysine also plays a role in helping the body manage Calcium. In short, Lysine plays a multitude of critical roles in our body.

Copenhagen-duo IRAH release their new single Worship the Sun. Just like the songs on their 2016 mini-album Into Dimensions this is a song with great width and depth. It is a spiritual journey into the metaphysical cosmos beyond the chaos of everyday life. IRAH are keyboard wizard Adi Zukanovi? and the remarkable singer Stine Grøn. They have recorded Worship the Sun with Scottish drummer Seb Rochford (Brian Eno, Patti Smith, Brett Anderson, Polar Bear, Babyshambles), who is playing concerts with IRAH regularly.
Worship the Sun came to life in the bands rehearsal space on a late evening with the city lights shining outside the windows and lightnings appearing in the distance. Candles were the only source of light in the room and for a few hours they played a drone-like passage that slowly transformed into Worship the Sun.
"In this time and age where humanity seems to be on the verge of an abyss, we send out a wish to unite around the center of life. Our sun, moon and earth. With the energy and intensity of the song we celebrate the force of these giants", Stine Grøn explains.
The composition of the song is completely linear and the only steady ground is a drone which the song is build upon. The drone can be heard as both minor and major. The song is produced and mixed by Mads Brinch Nielsen. Seb Rochford has recorded the near-mechanical drums of the track.

Recipe too?
How about oxtail (which is beef)?
This recipe on food52 from MyCommunalTable looks good:
or this one from crispywaffle:
They don't use a crockpot, but their method is braising low and slow for several hours, so you could do it in the crockpot.
Beef ribs work well. I have no cut & paste recipes to add but Cooks Illustrated has great ones - also check Williams-Sonoma recipes, and the web.
Shanks for such a great question! Beef, lamb and pork shanks love the low slow crockpot. I do neck and shoulder cuts like blade steak, "7"steak and even bone marrow bones work well in the crockpot.
and for a real treat if you can find goat meat and pig tails for Jamacan stews and curries.
Bottom of the round. Brown first and put in crockpot with small amount of beef broth, onion and optional dried bay leaf.
