I've got a column up over at RT Book Reviews, talking about things I learned from writing No Proper Lady.
I've got a column up over at RT Book Reviews, talking about things I learned from writing No Proper Lady.
…and nice out! There were crocuses this morning when I walked to work! White, light purple, and the bright purple that I've loved since I was a kid and ZOMG BRIGHT PURPLE BEST FLOWER EVER. (I have never been much for subdued earth tones.) Also snowdrops, or I think they're snowdrops–little white flowers. Very pretty.
Eventful spring ahead of me:
Hickey of the Beast comes out in print on March 20th! Connie Perez, a smartass faculty brat–specifically, the head's kid–at a Northeastern prep school which may or may not resemble the one I went to, or the ones where I was raised. (Though it bears little resemblance to Midland. Otherwise, there'd be less central heating and more mountain lions.) Connie's just trying to deal with freshman year, as you do, when she starts having weird dreams–dreams about students who later fall mysteriously ill. (This is the part that didn't happen to me, in case you were wondering. I mean, I "fell mysteriously ill" a fair amount, but by that I mean less occult hijinks and more cutting gym class.) She and her friends have to figure out what's going on, stop it, and not die.
Lessons After Dark releases April 3rd! Englefield, now setting up as the Victorian magical equivalent of Xavier's School for the Gifted*, has brought in a bunch of freakish magically-gifted teenagers, a couple less-freakish teenagers who want to learn magic, and two more people to try and keep them all from going Tetsuo-does-London. Olivia Brightmore is a fake-medium-turned-real; Gareth St. John is the school doctor, an ex-Army surgeon with magical healing powers and a whole stack of Issues with Olivia, who he encountered in her wires-and-table-rapping days. Much belligerent sexual tension, also teenage demon-summoning antics!
And then I've been reading Ursula Vernon's Digger, for about the third time. Spoilers below.
This is a fantasy webcomic about a talking wombat. It's also one of the best actual epic fantasy books that I can think of.
No, seriously.
I just thought of that lately, mostly because I've been thinking about how little Epic Fantasy I read these days, and how much of a shame that is. I loved LotR; still do; re-read it every few years; geek cred established; I like the fantasy tropes like dragons and elves and magic swords; but none of the really obvious hey-this-is-big-fantasy works do much for me. The characters irk, or the writing style bugs, or they take seventeen books to tell the story, or they let the world details overwhelm everything** or they're George R.R. Martin and really good but I need a Xanax prescription just to get through one book, so…no.
And I was thinking about that, and making my list of regrettably-rare exceptions, and reading Digger, which, for starters, absolutely rocks at characterization. I am an unforgiving curmudgeon with a cold black heart which may or may not be two sizes too small; there are few works of fiction that don't make me long for five minutes with at least one character and a rolled-up newspaper.*** Digger…I can't think of a character that I don't actively *like*. (And a whole lot of them are female.)
Moreover, the story gives the sense of an actual world with actual cultures and legends and little bits of stuff around the edges that don't quite get filled in, while still being a story and not a travel guide. And it's a really, well, epic story.
Doesn't start out that way. The first couple chapters are cheerful and funny, for the most part; there's some stuff going on, and it definitely has the potential to get bad (when people are talking about writing on your skin a couple pages in, the world is not without threat), but mostly it's Digger wandering around and alternately snarking at or having her mind blown by the Cerulean Foothills and their vampire squash.
Then there's this scene where Ed–"weird exiled hyena guy in a cave" to this point–explains demons by telling one of his people's myths. It's not funny; it's not supposed to be. It's about pride and desperation and finding that there's no way back from who you've become. (That particular myth also informs much of the plot later.) And then there's a journey underground, and things that really, really should not be happening, and suddenly there's a lot more going on here.
The story never, or almost never, completely loses humor. It never completely loses anything, far as I can tell, which is a hell of a task. What it adds is what "epic fantasy" brings to mind for me: the sense of an unambiguous threat, one against which something important has to be done, and the sense that the characters' decisions have a weight and a resonance that carry far beyond the present moment. There's a scene with a shadow demon that blows me away every time; there's a plot with Ed that I could write a damn paper on; there are takes on heroism and fate and acceptance that rank up there with anything else I've read.
There is also, and I cannot emphasize this strongly enough, vampire squash.
Seriously. I–due to the Internet–am very, very skeptical about anything with animal people, and I love this comic. It's good stuff.
*This probably doesn't mean one of the characters will lose her mind and consume an energy field bigger than her head and try to destroy the universe somewhere down the road. Probably.
**Another concept I've been thinking of lately, and possibly one of the reasons I'm picky about original-world fantasy. I find that, in an effort to make worlds seem really original or alien, a lot of authors lose me in the details. For me, I think it's best to change a few key elements but have the majority of the world vaguely correspond to a RL culture–"okay, you pick your kings by reading the markings on the shell of the Sacred Turtle, but you still have kings"–to stick with an outsider-POV character, or both.
***The Dragonlance Chronicles, for example, which I thought of re: epic fantasy. They've got a lot going for them, and then DAMMIT, TANIS. Aaaaaamong other people.

One of my favorite writers, Garrison Keillor, wrote about the same thing. I am sort of astounded and appalled to admit that I have favorite authors. Not that I am ashamed to be associated with Garrison Keillor or the works he has produced, but I just never would have imagined that I would be able to sit down and pick out a favorite. I guess I never realized that I became an adult, or I just suddenly am not as close to being a kid as I used to be, because it was always adults who had favorite authors, prententious adults at that, but I can't deny it. I hope that I am not pretentious but I have to admit that I have favorite authors. And Garrison Keillor is one of them. And he once wrote the greatest story ever. Didn't you know that? Oh yeah. He relates the tale of the greatest story ever written in his book Leaving Home of how he wrote the story, and was so excited about it that he wanted to finish it on the train on the way to a vacation to the Pacific Northwest but then he promptly left the story, along with the rest of his briefcase, in a public restroom in the Portland bus station. After searching high and low, retracing his steps and the whole nine yards, he finally gave up and continued on his way with his vacation. But that story tainted his whole experience. He attempted to recreate the story on some index cards but it never came back, just fleeting, disjointed glances that never seemed to make sense. And he was haunted by that story. It poked its head out from behind the crevices of his mind time and time again but never showed itself fully. And that's how it has been with me.
I haven't been able to reconstruct even a tiny portion of the greatest post ever written. Eh, the greatest post never written. That would probably be more appropriate. And it most likely never will be written, because, true to form, the harder I search for that lost piece of greatness the father away it is. I understand this. It's like when you are trying SO HARD to think of the name of that movie that Alyssa Milano gets all naked and dirty in to you can talk to your buddy about how awesome it was but the more you think about it, the harder you throw yourself at it, and more you scrunch your brow, the more elusive it becomes. Yeah, that's what it's like with the greatest post never written. The more I look for it the farther away it is. And the worst part? It tricks me. I can see little bits of it flash past the back of my eyes every once in a while, which makes me think that I can jump in there and wrestle it out, but then I get into the hard thinking and I get nowhere. I also tried the opposite tactic, just forgetting about it and trying to move on, but that didn't work either. It won't let me. It just keeps taunting me at every turn.
So I apologize to you, Company. You deserve the best post ever written, you really do. And please believe me, I really wanted to be the one to bring it to you. But unfortunately it's gone. My desktop (and not, I don't have a real desktop, I am talking about the one on the Chester A. Arthur Memorial Apple G4 Laptop, it littered with notes about post ideas I have had. Most of them are terrible. Yet when the greatest post in the history of posts comes to me I neglect to write it down and now it's gone and is probably being dry-humped into submission somewhere on a blog that you will never read. The thought shames me. I guess that I will have to come up with something better than that could ever have been. How does that sound?

Missouri dating laws
06-Dec-2017 16:39
"However, we have not regulated until recently." At present, you have to be 17 with parental consent to tan. Lynn Cornelius, chief of dermatology at Washington University, said both parents and kids need to know how serious the UV rays in beds are compared to the actual sun.
Please note that all such forms and policies should be reviewed by your legal counsel for compliance with applicable law, and should be modified to suit your organization's culture, industry, and practices.
In general, the age of consent in Missouri for sexual intercourse is 17 years old.

Justine had heard from several mildly hostile guinea pig Facebook groups that it's dangerous to keep rabbits & guinea pigs in the same area, as the guinea pig might get kicked.
Also that rabbits can carry a bacteria that transmits Pneumonia to guinea pigs.
That's pretty damn scary.
So when we adopted Loki, a dwarf lop rabbit, we accepted that he & our guinea pig Nibbler shouldn't spend time together.
After a bit more research & some hands-on information gathering at reputable farms in our area, Justine came to realise that this advice is over-simplified & a little paranoid.
If your pets are living in a small cage, or their personalities clash, then by all means keep them separated.
The health concern may well be a valid one, but seems to be of greatest importance when your guinea pig is already sick, as they could get even sicker, & when you're animals live together in a small space.
Our guys live separately, but they often get to play in the same large area outside.
Justine initially kept them separated, but nearby each other, just to see if they got along.
Nibbler is a charmer, so no troubles were had.
We keep a close eye on our animal's wellbeing & are fortunate enough to have a reasonable amount of outdoor space for them to enjoy during the day.
My partner Justine is studying & working with animals, but I'm not even close to being an animal care professional.
So feel free to treat my comments like everything on the web should be treated: just one opinion.
According to my knowledgeable partner: prey animals don't show you that they're sick until they're REALLY sick, so it's important to keep a close eye on their health.
My main reason for adding these notes is to point out that health & safety guidelines are important, but the particular circumstances of the animal's living conditions & personalities are equally so.
As I said earlier, I am not an expert on rodents or lagomorphs, but my partner is on her way there.
There's always more to learn.
If you've got any questions or things to share, feel free to do so in comments.

Speaking of Sanchez ahead of Monday's Premier League match against Stoke City, Mourinho said: 'I don't know if ethical or correct.
Arsenal are fully aware that replacing a player of Sanchez's calibre is no easy feat, especially considering his importance to the club.
The report also suggests Mourinho was unwilling to enter the race to sign Sanchez in the previous transfer window in an attempt to avoid becoming embroiled in a summer-long battle for the Chilean's services.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has reiterated his great admiration for Alexis Sanchez, but said he was not attempting to lure the Arsenal forward to Stamford Bridge when the two were pictured in conversation earlier this week.
"And as Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, if not the biggest, then they will be looking at it".
Manchester City's Leroy Sane scored two goals against Liverpool a year ago.More news: January 11 is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day
More news: Barty books all-Aussie semifinal against Gavrilova, clears Strycova in Sydney
More news: Chandigarh stalking case: BJP leader's son Vikas Barala granted bail
The Premier League leaders have always been linked with signing the Chilean forward, and had a reported £60m offer for him accepted by Arsenal on deadline day last summer. United are in the running to sign Sanchez in the winter transfer window as the 29-year-old Chile global is desperate to leave Arsenal, but they are also keen to sign Ozil.
According to The Telegraph, the Red Devils are interested in signing Jamie Vardy from Leicester City, or Javier Hernandez from West Ham United, if they can't secure a deal for Sanchez this month. If Pep wants him again now, I'm sure he's thinking: 'I'm going to go there second time round and do it properly this time'. City have a very comfortable advantage and they can sit on that; it is the sort of lead that gives a lot of tranquillity and takes away the pressure from the guy that comes behind you.
Where will Malcom be playing his football next season?
"The reason for this is he feels left-back is very hard to get the player he wants - Alex Sandro - because of the price Juventus are asking for". O'Neill had been expected to extend his contract with the Republic of Ireland after Keane had persuaded him to stay on, however a return to top flight management might tempt the pair of them to come to England.
Yes Manchester City have been very much interested and are the front runners, but there still are many clubs that are lurking around to grab the Chilean.

Four Principles of Life Complexity
Dynamical Autopoiesis
Seven Attractors of Human Life Dynamics
Are We Destined to Follow Attractors'Dynamics?
Ways to Escape from Chaotic Attractors
From experience everybody knows that life dynamics are complex. Life phenomena, events and processes emerge out of interaction of many interwoven factors.
Complex is the physical organization of human body, extremely complex is the emotional life of people, their thoughts, ideas and endeavours. Quite complex is organisation of human society, complex - tangled and interdependent are dynamic processes manifested in our planet, in our solar system and universe. So complex that contemporary science can see only a tiny little bit of this overwhelming COMPLEXITY. Experts from different branches of science hurry to divide this tiny bit into even tinier particles, to analyse some of them and draw conclusions, then to repeat or extend the analyses and to re-write these conclusions, then again to look at the particles and come possibly to entirely different conclusions, and so on.
To divide, separate and analyse - this is what science does very well. To unify, unite and synthesise into an organic and indivisible wholeness is not easy for fragnemted approaches used by the scientific disciplines. It is easy for nature and she does this perfectly!
Chaos theory and complexity science try not to divide. Their mission is not to divide because at the focus of their research is INTEGRITY - interconnectedness, relationship and interaction of the myriad of complex dynamics, whatever their specific manifestations are. Chaos and Complexity try to understand characteristics and laws of behaviour that are common for all dynamic processes. And as far as non-dynamic processes simply do not exist in universe, chaos and complexity study something very fundamental, essential and vital for understanding unity of all existential forms.
What chaos theory teaches is that dynamics of complex processes are nonlinear and chaotic - small changes in the initial conditions of such processes may give birth to unforseen transformations in future. Chaotic dynamics are ubiquitous - from the behaviour of molecules to the interaction of planets and galaxies, from the behaviour of cells to the interaction of people and civilisations.
It is not a problem at all to accept that dynamics of human life are complex and chaotic. What is problematic is to grasp that these dynamics are extremely susceptible to our actions, to our thoughts, stories, feelings, beliefs and attitudes. In an almost mysterious way, small changes in the flow of our thinking processes can bring forth radical transformations in the overall dynamics of our life.
In its physical manifestation individual life dynamics are dissipative - life starts, evolves, and then gradually (or suddenly) shrinks and stops.
Go to the top of the page
The first is the principle of attraction: dynamic behaviour of life processes always gravitates to some relatively stable dynamic patterns called in chaos theory strange attractors. Being in the 'basin' of some strange attractor, life dynamics continue to be chaotic, that is, sensitive to initial conditions and, therefore, unpredictable. What is predictable is that dynamics 'stay' at this strange attractor.
The attractors of life dynamics are usually driven by human desires of different kind: desires for power, for love, pleasures, freedom, etc.
If we consider, for example, complex dynamics of human health, we can see that individual health dynamics are not only similar to, but also nested in, the family health dynamics. Nested implies interdependence, that is, the individual health of a family member not only influences the state of health of the whole family but also reflects this state. Family health dynamics are similar to and nested in community health dynamics, which are similar to and nested in the health dynamics of society.
Of course, social health dynamics have not only physical dimensions but also environmental, economical, political, cultural, ethical and moral. The health of society as a whole both reflects and strongly influences health dynamics of the environment, which are similar to and nested in chaotic dynamics of the health of our planet (considered as an unified complex living organism), which are similar to and nested in the 'health' dynamics of the universe.
Nested dynamic structures are always open for mutual interaction - dynamics of each structure S are strongly influenced by the dynamics at least of two other structures: the one which is nested in S, and the other which envelopes S. For example, life dynamics of our environment inevitably reflect both the life of human society (internal dynamic structure), actively intervening with the environment, and the life of the planet considered in its integrity (external dynamic structure).
Emergence needs self-organizing forces to sustain it. Without such forces, no one emergent form can survive. In physical systems, self-organizing forces usually appear out of vortices.
Vortices are inherent in chaotic dynamics. The spiral turbulence of a whirlpool is driven by interacting streams of moving water, each stream with different physical (or/and chemical) characteristics. The spiral turbulence of a tornado is driven by interacting streams of moving air, each stream with diferent physical (or/and chemical) characteristics.
Whirlpools and tornadoes generate powerful self-organizing 'sucking' forces. Due to these forces, emerging vortical structures of whirlpools and torandoes are sustained. And vice versa: due to vortical structures of whirlpools and tornadoes, the emergence of self-organizing forces is sustained. Thus, the nature of emerging forces is self-referential: self-organizing forces are both cause and effect of one and the same vortical (spiral) chaotic dynamics.
The spiral vortex of our galaxy, once emerged from the interacting 'streams' of ionised matter, has given birth to powerful self-organizing forces which continue to energise (create, sustain and destoy in never ending evolutionary cycles) the existence of all galactic formations.
The four principles of chaotic dynamics help us to navigate through the tides and ebbs of life.
Go to the top of the page
In 1973 Maturana and Varela introduced the concept of autopoiesis as an ability of biological systems to reproduce their organization in a co-evolving structural coupling with the environment. Changes in environment give birth to changes in species - both structural and behavioural, and vice versa: changes in species lead to changes in their environment. (H.Maturana, F. Varela, The Tree of Knowledge, London: Shambala, 1987).
This vital interconnection (interdependence) between dynamics of living forms and their environment allow us to introduce the concept of the integrated ecological space (IES) where life dynamics of species and environment are considered inseparable. IES includes dynamics of all animated and non-animated forms in nature. Plants and rocks, volcanoes and animals, stars, planets and humans - they all change and co-evolve due to activity of the same natural forces. And their dynamics obey the same four principles of life complexity described above: principle of attraction, principle of fractals, principle of emergence and principle of self-organization.
Like the famous butterfly attractor of Lorenz, the basic strange attractor in IES consists of two inseparably connected regions ('butterfly wings') - one is the region corresponding to dynamics of non-animated environmental forms such as rocks, minerals, planets, stars, human-created forms; the other region corresponds to dynamics of animated living forms such as micro organisms, plants, animals, humans. Neither of these two regions has independent existence - complex evolutionary dynamics of living organisms are structurally coupled to the complex evolutionary dynamics of non-animated environment. Moreover, evolutionary dynamic trajectories of some living forms pass to non-animated region of the attractor every time when death-bufurcations occur, and vice versa: evolutionary dynamic trajectories of some non-animated forms 'jump' into animated region of the attractor every time when life-bifurcations occur.
Chaotic dynamics of all forms of matter in IES are driven by common self-organizing and self-propelling forces - the same natural forces which constantly emerge from the galactic vortices and energise quasars and stars, planets and comets, oceans and volcanoes, atoms and molecules. The same forces responsible for the growth and reproduction of species, for the pulsation of our hearts and the rhythm of our brain-waves. We cannot predict the rhythm of natural forces as we cannot predict the precise position of the Earth in its orbit, the outbursts of supernovas, the number of fruits on a tree, the number of offsprings of an animal, the exact amplitude of the next beat of heart, the occurence of moments of death or birth. The rhythm of natural forces is inherently chaotic.
The strange attractor which holds chaotic dynamics of all possible forms
of matter in the integrated ecological space supports a new form of autopoiesis
that we shall call autopoiesis of dynamics or dynamical autopoiesis.
Dynamical Autopoiesis manifests the unbreakable unity of all existential forms. Dynamical Autopoiesis illuminates a new perspective in understanding Evolution of Life. Depending crucially on ever existing chaotic dynamics of the myriad of life-creating, life-preserving and life-destroying processes in the universe, life evolution can never stop. It goes forever.
Go to the top of the page
Chaotic dynamics of human life have their own evolutionary trajectories in the integrated ecological space. These trajectories reflect people's activity during their life time. Driving forces of this (quite diverse) activity are permanetly emerging human desires of any kind.
According to the ancient Vedic literature, people's actions are usually directed towards achievement or acquisition of power, knowledge and freedom, as well as towards experiences of love, pleasures and longevity. Whatever an individual does, his or her actions are pulled towards one (or more than one, in parallel) of those six attractors.
There are enough experiential evidences supporting the ancient Vedic wisdom: it does not matter how diverse our every day life activity appears to be, it is inevitably driven (consciously or unconsciously) towards securing our long time survival (longevity), towards exercising power in various forms (acquiring of possessions and money, higher social status and prestige, advantage in force or skills), towards extending the degree of our knowledge (intelligence, education, cultural or spiritual enrichment). The thirst for freedom is crucial for opening spaces of new possibilities for realization of our skills, creativity, intellectual and artistic ability, talents, dreams, etc. And, of course people's lives are powerfully driven towards the experience of love and a multitude of pleasures, some of which could be quite addictive and even threatening individual or social survival.
Longevity, Power, Knowledge, Freedom, Love, and Pleasure represent six dynamically stable patterns - six chaotic (strange) attractors in the turbulent flow of human life.
Usually human desires drive life dynamics to more than one attractors, for example: pleasure and love, or knowledge and power, or freedom and knowledge and long life.
Although one cannot predict a specific life trajectory of an individual or group, one can find out the attractor (or attractors) at which this trajectory is located. Each attractor or combination of attractors strongly influence people's behaviour, emotions, mentality, moral, cultural and spiritual life.
There is only one non chaotic (fixed) attractor for human life dynamics - the attractor of death. As far as life dynamics of each individual are dissipative, they 'shrink' with time, gradually (or suddenly) stop to be connected with any strange attractor of life activity and fall into the fixed attractor.

Are we destined to spend our lives 'stuck' to some chaotic attractors and to do nothing but repeating one and the same dynamic patterns all the life through - pursuing power, pleasure, knowledge, love, freedom, longevity, and finding eventually only death?
Not very attractive perspective to such intelligent creatures as humans - to dance helplessly to the tunes of attractors' chaotic dynamics, blindly following an inherited self-organizing drive towards increasing complexity, criticality, and bifurcations, without being able to escape from this drive even for an instant.
Unfortunately, most of us do exactly this - simply 'stretching' and 'foding' their activity in the basin of some chaotic attractor without any specific direction, or forcibly jumping from one basin to another, without having even a slightest clue what is the purpose for all these strestful jumps, or frighteningly existing as trembling fractals near to the bottom of a huge and complex vortical structure furiously whirled by monstrous universal forces ungraspable by the human mind.
The fight with gravitational forces of chaotic attractors, particularly when the forces have roots deeply in unconscious human psyche, is extremely difficult, if not impossible. The studies of alcoholism and drug addiction - complex phenomena with dynamics 'stuck' at the chaotic attractor of pleasure, demonstrate that fighting against addiction not only fails but has totally opposite effects: fighting intensifies the degree of attraction, that is, makes the attractor more robust and statically stable. The energy feeding the attractor puts into operation a special self-protecting and self-justifying mechanisms which produces impossible to untie 'double binds' eventually reinforcing the drive to addiction (G. Batson, Steps to an Ecology of Mind, San Francisco: Chandler Publ. Co., 1973).
And yet, it is possible for humans to become free from the repetitive patterns of attractors' dynamics.
Go to the top of the page
The ways to escape the basin of an attractor are either
- to bifurcate to another (more powerful) attractor
- to exhaust the sources energising a chaotic attractor
- to transcend the power of attraction.
Human life dynamics can bifurcate from one attractor to another which appears to be more powerful for a certain period of time (or lifelong). For example, there are many practical cases showing how the attractor of love helps people with addiction. In these cases, the strength of gravitation towards the experience of a genuine love relationship becomes great enough to resist the temptation of the drug (or alcohol) consumption, dynamically related to the chaotic attractor of pleasure.
There are practical cases when the attractor of knowledge becomes more
powerful in comparison with the attractor of pleasure. However, this can
only occur at some earlier stages of addiction, when the brain of the addict
is still able to function 'normally enough' in order to
- assimilate or explore in a rational way what has been written or said about the potential threat of going too far with the addiction, or
- exert some kind of self-analysis eloquently exposing to the addict the damages already created in his(her) emotional or intellectual life.
The main problem with the attractor of knowledge is that the logic of human reasoning can hardly resist the fire of emotions irrationally erupting from the attractor of pleasure where the seeds of every strong attachment (addiction) abide.
Stability of a new attractor crucially depends on its energy supply
- for how long this supply will be higher than the supply of energy feeding
the old attractor. For example, for how long the intensity of feelings
and emotions, desires and passions, thoughts and realisations, related
to the attractor of love (or to the attractor of knowledge) will keep higher
in comparison with the intensity of still living desire to experience again
the pleasure of an addictive. Reversible bifurcations, that is, bifurcations
from new chaotic attractors to old ones happen quite often in the dynamics
of human life.
Chaotic attractors are dissipative dynamic structures - they consume energy to keep going. When the energy supply decreases and stops, the attractor shrinks and disappears. When the rate of energy consumption by a chaotic attractor is higher than the rate of its energy supply, the attractor gradually dies.
In the examples with the addiction, if the intensity in manifestation of an addiction increases up to such degree, that the organism of the addict becomes unable to deal with the effects emerging as a result of this increase, then the addiction 'naturally' approaches the zone of its exhaustion. The addiction to nicotine usually leads to irreversible changes in the function of the respiratory system that can eventually bring forth diseases which makes it impossible for the addict to continue. Similar is the picture with the exhaustion of the addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling, and every other manifestations of the attractor of pleasure. When a gambler loses everything - friends, relatives, and every other means for self-subsistence, the gambling stops - chaotic attractor of pleasure received by gambling is exhausted. It is clear that such 'natural' exhaustion could be very disastrous for the addict.
To passively wait until chaotic attractors of life dynamics exhaust themselves is the most dangerous (in respect to human health) way to escape from their basins. This way of escape often lead to fatal consequences.
The best way to overcome the pulling power of a chaotic attractor is to transcend its basin - not to fight with the attractor's dynamics, neither to yield to them and passively wait for their self-exhaustion, but:
- to be constantly aware of the forces operating at the attractor;
- to try to understand the source of energy that feeds these forces;
- to watch under what conditions (both internal and external) these forces become stronger and under what conditions they lose their potency.
A calm and indifferent observation of the interplay of forces, both emerging from and contributing to the attractor's dynamics, helps to discover that unique complement of internal factors (state of mind, emotional state, spiritual attitude and experience) and external conditions (surrounding nature, people, relationships and activities) which makes possible the transcendence of the attractor.
Transcendence of an attractor cannot happen without the following preparatory phases:
Ä recognition of attractor's activity and its supporting sources
of energy;
Ä exploration both of internal and external factors affecting (strengthening or weakening) attractor's actvity
Ä gently seeding changes in individual's inner nature (emotions, thoughts, spirituality) so that to develop and strengthen individual capacity for self-awareness, alertness and self-control.
This capacity for self-awareness, alertness and self-control is decisive when transcending any chaotic attractor. It is a capacity that empowers individuals to become free from routine. It is a capacity for deliverance from any habit, from any mechanical and repetitive way of existence, from any addiction.
The capacity for self-awareness, alertness and self-control opens a new inspired way of living when the individuals themselves (and not the chaotic attractors) assumes responsibility for realization of the evolutionary dynamics of their own lives.
Example. Searching ways of transcending chaotic attractor of pleasure.
(1) Recognition of attractor's activity and its supporting sources of energy
The chaotic attractor of pleasure acts in the life dynamics of every human being. It is the most difficult for transcendence attractor. Its driving force is enormously powerful - its source is in the human search for happiness. Through experiencing pleasures people feel happy. The addicts look for happiness in very dangerous for their health pleasure-experiences.
(2) Exploration of factors affecting attractor's activity
Happiness comes spontaneously, so one cannot repeat it. Pleasure can be repeated. The more one tries to repeat the unrepeatable moment of happiness, the more one repeats the repeatable moments of pleasure, and the stronger becomes the desire for repetition of those moments. So, the desire for pleasure is nothing but our past experience in search of another repetition again.
Happiness is a deep personal experience which depends only on our inner emotional, mental or spiritual states. The experience of pleasures depends on something or somebody outside us. Such a dependence inevitably (earlier or later) brings pain. Dependence is always a misery and those who depend in their happiness on this or that, they are helping their own misery.
Any 'accumulation' of human pleasure (usually related to an excess in eating, drinking alcohol, use of drugs, gambling, sexual indulgence) has a tendency to become a vice (bad habits, a degrading practices, immoral ways of conduct).
(3) Seeding changes
The process of seeding changes starts with understanding the transient nature of pleasures, their unsatisfactoriness for the development and growth of personality, their self-propelling potency to impede inherited individual drive towards self-realization.
For alcoholic and gambler anonymous crucial for transcending the attractor of pleasure is the acceptance of a specific spiritual attitude leading to a deliverance from the addiction.

This was a fun one to make.
It is for my sister. I hope she likes it.
I wanted to take a close up of the stitching before washing
it, but someone else had other plans. As soon as I laid it
down he had to come try it out.
I used white thread on top and red in the bobbin. It worked
out pretty good. I did see a little of the red on top in places
through the needle holes
but after I washed it and the thread snuggled in
all was fine. (this is a picture before washing)
and this is the back.
Now to get it boxed up and in the mail.
I am finishing up another one so pictures to come soon!
until later - Carol

The Challenge: Four Unique Drum Handling Applications with Four Unique Solutions
Advanced Packaging Integration's (API) customer approached them with a need for a washdown conveyor line to transport empty and full fiber drums from 17" to 22" in diameter and 24" to 39" tall.
The Challenge #1: Lining Drums
Each drum had to receive a lining that went around the mouth and into the bottom of the drum. Due to the height of the drums it was not ergonomically feasible to line the drums on the conveyor itself. The Solution: Omni worked with API to build a Pneumatic Drum Tilter that would tilt three to four drums, depending on size, to a 45° angle. With a simple foot switch the drums would tilt back to a predetermined angle allowing the operator to position the lining within the drum. Once the process was complete, the operator would simply depress the foot switch and the drum tilter returned the drums to a conveyor.
The Challenge #2: Sealing Drum Liners All drums then needed to be sealed and lidded. With the drums varying in height by up to 18", it was not a proper ergonomic height to seal the linings and place the lids on all size drums from one elevation. The Solution: A custom Hydraulic Scissor Lift Platform was designed to fit into the filling and sealing room to raise and lower operators to a more ergonomic height for sealing the liners and placing the lids on the drums. The scissor lift was designed with hand rails on three sides to match the operator's access needs. The lift was also a washdown duty design with hydraulic food grade oils for product handling in the filling room. Due to the washdown environment, a washdown duty hydraulic power unit actuated the lift and also utilized a food grade oil.
The Challenge #3: Drum Accumulation The drum tilter operation was an intermittent action and the drum unloading from the trucks was a constant action, resulting in the need for some empty drum accumulation to create a buffer for appropriate work flow. The Solution: A Chain Driven Live Roller Conveyor utilizing Ultrex Sleeves was placed prior to the drum tilter to create the necessary accumulation buffer. Ultrex Sleeves were chosen to provide a medium pressure accumulation solution. To accommodate drums of different diameters, the sleeves were placed in small sections, throughout the conveyor for an even load distribution.
The Challenge #4: Passageway for Operators Due to the compact layout in the filling room, there was no easy way for operators to get from one side of the filling room to the other with the new conveyor system in place. The Solution: Omni integrated a lift gate into the Chain Driven Live Roller Conveyor line to create a pass thru for the operators. To avoid operators lifting a heavy gate, it was hydraulically actuated with controls placed on both operating sides of the conveyor.

Cities increasingly base their local policies on human rights. Human rights cities promise to forge new alliances between urban actors and international organizations, to enable the 'translation' of the abstract language of human rights to the local level, and to develop new practices designed to bring about global urban justice. This book brings together academics and practitioners at the forefront of human rights cities and the 'right to the city' movement to critically discuss their history and also the potential that human rights cities hold for global urban justice.

Normally, I jump start every morning with Regis and Kelly and a side of espresso, but last Friday was a little different. I kicked off the day at the live taping of Regis and Kelly at Lowe's Motor Speedway -- plus three espressos (considering I had to be there at 6am).
Technically, it wasn't nightlife. But it felt like it. As I was standing in line, a producer asked if anyone was interested in being the "Trivia a Go-Go dancer." After a go-go dance off alongside 30 other caffeinated women, I was selected to make a live cameo on national television. While onstage doing my thing, Kelly Ripa turns to me and says (on camera), "You're adorable!" Thanks for the ego snack, Kelly.
After my 15 seconds of fame, I walked behind the makeshift stage on the racetrack and met my hometown hero, country superstar Phil Vassar. While chatting about our hick town of Harrisonburg, VA, Vassar asked where to go in Charlotte. I recommended he go see his buddy Blake Shelton down at Speed Street, but he opted to hang out with the Uptown Girls (more dish later).
Vassar went on the show, and off came Cars star Owen Wilson; I spent the rest of the morning with him. Learning that I was a writer, he grabbed the handy copy of the Loaf I had with me, walked over to a nearby couch, sat down and started reading. I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Then a reporter from the Observer came over to interview him. Being new to NASCAR, Wilson asked me what a race was like. My summation: "It's Woodstock for rednecks." His response: "I am quoting you in my Good Morning America interview."
Later that night, Vassar called to see if I wanted to join him and his band for dinner at Boardwalk Billy's in University, but I had to decline as I was headed to the world premiere of Disney's Cars at the Speedway with my mom as my date. Upon arrival, I met up with Wilson before he made his red carpet walk.
Eventually, the curtain closed on the movie and opened on a wild night: I recruited the Uptown Girls to go meet Vassar and hang where his tour bus was camped out. We partied like a country version of Almost Famous. Since Vassar has penned a large percentage of the country songs on the radio these days, we joked about him writing rap songs and performed freestyle "hick-hop."
Saturday night, I hit Speed Street uptown. Using my all-access pass provided by Chris Cagle's manager, I joined the country carnival comprised of tour buses belonging to QC After Dark's infamous country star, as well as Trent Tomlinson, Keith Anderson and Bomshel. I talked with (my favorite) radio hosts Paul and Sarah from 96.9 the Kat's morning show, ate chicken chez Cagle, mingled in the diverse crowds along Tryon and watched twangy concerts from stage right. Meanwhile, Jennifer Hornaday put the bud in Budweiser by providing us with VIP bracelets to their tent that even my all-access pass couldn't arrange. Post-show, we somehow ended up at a pajama party on Bomshel's bus. Buffy, a member of this new group on Tim McGraw's label, said the definition of a bombshell is a woman who can go to the grocery store sans make-up and who understands the importance of chocolate and mashed potatoes. Amen, sister! Then she asked us, "What do y'all do, just hang out with famous people?" Well, last weekend at least.
The slumber party was followed by Sunday night spent watching the Coca-Cola 600 from my rag-top Wrangler in the Speedway's infield.
However, the highlight of my weekend was driving through uptown with the Uptown Girls in my jeep, top down, bumping Kenny Chesney and having Speed Street foot traffic sing along.

Supporting Sustainability in English Shark, Skate and Ray Fisheries
Around the world sharks remain vulnerable to over-fishing. Tens of millions are caught and traded globally each year. Many populations are overfished and a 1/4 of all species face an elevated risk of extinction.
The seas around the UK are home to over 70 species of shark, skate and ray. A very small number of these are currently fished at sustainable levels. For some species, well managed fisheries could be the key to a sustainable future.
To date we've focused on protecting threatened species. But this project aims to support sustainability in English shark, skate and ray fisheries. This can underpin confidence in the sale of sustainably sourced shark products by seafood retailers, providing a degree of economic stability for regional fishing fleets and fishing communities.
For species unable to support sustainable fisheries we'll continue to advocate for better management and, where necessary, protection.
Sustainable fisheries are well-managed. They only catch species which have proven healthy, stable populations:
- Fishing activity must be at a level which can continue indefinitely
- The fishery must have a science-based management plan
- Fishing activity should not have a detrimental impact on other species caught in the fishery
- Environmental impacts are minimised
- Seafood products must be fully traceable – from the fishing boat to the fish counter.
THE PROBLEM: Data Limited Species
There's particular concern surrounding the many shark species assessed as 'Data Limited'. For these species, the data required for population estimates on which sustainable catch-limits can be based, is insufficient and unreliable. Within English fisheries this is especially applicable to a number of skates and rays, including the Blonde Ray, Blue Skate and Small-eyed Ray. From a fisheries perspective, a Data Limited 'designation' could lead to a reduction in fishing quota available. This has direct ramifications for the local fishing industry and associated communities.
THE SOLUTION: Species-Specific Landing and Discard Data
To address and, in time, avoid a 'Data Limited' status, accurate, species-specific data on sharks is vital. The majority of data used in population estimates comes from scientific surveys. But the fishing industry is also ideally placed to contribute. In particular to more accurate landings and discard data. Yet we acknowledge the challenges in recording accurate species-specific data while working at sea. This is amplified when it comes to skates and rays, which are notoriously difficult to identify.
- Support accuracy in species-specific identification - Improved identification feeds into more accurate discard and landing data. This in turn contributes to better informed, more effective policy and decision-making.
- Improve discard recording and reporting - Increasing the volume of timely, accurate data can improve our understanding of the actual catch of sharks. Particularly for those classed as 'Data Limited'.
- Encourage 'best practice' when handling sharks - Sharks are more physically robust than the likes of cod, haddock and other bony fish. Observing 'best practice' when returning sharks back into the sea can increase survival rates. This will have long-term benefits for populations.
- Support responsible trade and consumption of shark products - Elements of this project will underpin confidence in the sale of sustainably sourced shark products by seafood retailers, such as supermarkets and fishmongers.
- Campaigning for science-based catch limits in UK, EU and global waters.
- Advocating for effective management of high-seas shark fisheries by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) around the world.
- Supplying ID guides to improve accuracy in the identification of landed and discarded fish.
- Outlining the importance of full discard recording and reporting. Especially for 'Data Limited' Species.
- Promoting best practice in the handling of sharks, skates and rays. Correct handling improves their survival rates when discarded back into the sea.
- Direct involvement in partnerships between the commercial fishing industry and scientific community.
- Sharing the UK's experience in shifting to sustainable fisheries. This helps other regions around the world make the shift too.

Imagine a nightmare. What you're looking for is always out of reach, and everything you're doing can never be accomplished. Yet even though nothing works, you keep looking, and you keep going. And it it never ends. Worse, you're not asleep.
The credits for Good Time appear as late as fifteen minutes into the film. By that time, directors Benny and Josh Safdie's urgent, adrenaline-filled crime-drama has delivered so much conflict that personal stress levels already feel off the charts. Where close-ups fill the widescreen, Sean Price William's hand-held, always-on-the-move, cinematography keeps everything in your face; it's a grasp that never quits, and it's a relief when it's finally done.
The one experiencing the living nightmare is Constantine 'Connie' Nikas (Robert Pattinson), though it's not Connie who begins the film. Connie's mentally handicapped brother, Nick (co-director Ben Safdie) is in a therapy session with a psychiatrist (Peter Verby), when, like a destructive hurricane that can't be stopped, Connie bursts into the room, grabs his brother, and pulls him out.
Once clear of the institution that housed the impaired and inarticulate Nick, brother Connie ropes his younger sibling into helping him rob a bank. Wearing masks that at first glance might look life-like, Connie slides a handwritten note under the glass to a female teller stating that this is a robbery and she needs to put $65,000 in the black bag. The teller empties her till, then writes on the back of Connie's note: This is all I have. Policy. Connie writes a second note. We are armed. Get the rest of the money. He should have stuck with what was given. Once the teller returns from a secured vault and hands the rest of the demanded amount to Connie in the bag, the brothers walk out, back to the car, thinking mission accomplished. But an exploding dye-pack finishes that thought.
Now, running for their lives, covered in red dust, the police are in pursuit. Nick panics and is captured, while Connie keeps running. And it's from there where the opening credits roll and the older brother's problems really begin.
Fueled by the pulsating sounds from experimental musician Oneohtrix Point Never (real name; Daniel Lopatin), the score aids the mounting tension, propelling it ever onward with the feel of a racing, electronic heartbeat that's about to burst. From the moment Connie busts into that therapy session, it's as if a rubber band has immediately stretched to capacity, then held there, in constant danger of snapping. Connie's mounting frustration as he dives headfirst into one disaster after another is our frustration, which makes the ironically titled Good Time a tough watch.
Most mainstream audiences may not take to the film's overall uncompromising style. It's neither smooth nor polished, and there's no one who survives the night in any positive way once meeting Connie, a man who leaves nothing but disaster for everyone in his wake. But those who venture into the arthouse should be impressed, particularly for the following reason.
There's a constant sense of fascination while watching Pattinson's character do whatever he can throughout the never ending night to get his brother out of prison. At this point in his career, having shed every last ounce of anything remotely suggesting he was once a teenage heartthrob vampire in the Twilight series, the English actor thoroughly convinces as the New Yorker on the run. He's not likable, and there's never a moment when you want him to succeed, yet you can't look away. Pattinson is totally convincing. It's quite the revelation.

Road Trips and Bail Money
Taking a class to this place this week. If you hear of a certain farm gal being arrested for mooning the Capitol Building, please send bail money. I am almost positive it is the only thing that she believes our great leaders will understand. After all, you know, you have to play to the lowest common denominator... And, somehow, I think her students will approve....
I'll write when I get home or get work. Have a great week!

Well, maybe it will help all those fools make a decision...LOL!ReplyDelete
Looking for change here, too. Except for the good people who would not get a paycheck (like our military), I was kinda' hoping Congress would shut down. I figured at least they couldn't keep spending.ReplyDelete
I hope you have a nice trip Matty. I have only been to Washington DC once passing through on our way to a family wedding. I didn't get a chance to stop and see any of the tourist spots. I would love to go to the Smithsonian someday and see the Lincoln Memorial. I hope you have had a good time and enjoy a nice evening to ahead. Delisa :)ReplyDelete

Recent research in the study of demographic trends worldwide are now making light of highly controversial elements, although ignored by the international organizations, as ONU, UNDP, G 20, regardless of the organization with the property in the study area (as UNESCO, Youth International government and others). The so-called "demographic winter" phenomenon, which reveals the dramatic consequences of "modern" life, marked by familial and moral decline, after a miscarriage, vulgarization and homosexuality "normal", with toxicity majority mass- media and "Hollywood culture" is inoculating egocentrism , frivolity and irresponsibility. Considering this demographic trends offers a new dimension to the way in which abundance and resorts in the world is distributed and also provides a new vision of basic education.
Globalization education reflects in the extension and consolidation of teaching methods, used by all public or private, involved as active educators. Over time, the public education system in developed or emerging countries that promote formal education, are showing density practice of classical education. In the field of non-formal education are used in more innovative and diverse ways of learning, but unfortunately few that are set on individual behavior reshape the international context, and they are looking only to increase consumption factors routine, by preparing young people for a successful career start. The presence of organizations with international coverage and professional training companies have fixed the now understand "the development of education" in a comfortable range. This makes room for reforming the economy and education, however, evident that the ultimate purpose of education.
Most people believe that education should equip them with the appropriate equipment utilization so that they can ever tread the masses. Another believes that education should provide them with noble ends rather than the means to an end. The activity of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest threat to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but without morality.
social speacking, the technical breakthrough, expand access to information and modern lifestyle facilities have made possible the appearance of irreversible phenomena in the conflict between generations. In our era, the children, "sons of globalization" have access to multiple sources of information, the Internet is most of the time an instrument of self-education. The score is leaning in favor of the power of informed youth who become "teachers," which explains the new world to the oldest. This theory takes into account the acceleration of technology and the way our lifestyle, but above observational nature, it does not bring up a discussion about the importance of education systems, visible outmoded, who tries to destroy the moral and statutory principles. Wisdom is sent from the old generation to the youth, and not backward.
Therefore, we are raising the question about the way organisms responsible for education should review the basic fundamentals of this basic activity, which apparently has led the development of our world so far. It is not enough for organizations such as UNESCO or UNDP to address the absence of compulsory and discrimination regarding access to education in underdeveloped countries, to prevent the resettling educational needs inside improper system. It is necessary to deal with these issues in time, because we consider education a key factor that can slow down the process of planet and people self-destruction.
proposal for a fundamental restructure and revise unique education approach at all levels and life cycle, starting with the premise that "people need to be educated to act responsibility towards the environment and culture, and not interfere in harmony and balance of the world the development of his behavior. " This observation, not exactly recent, triggered a chain of actions on education in countries such as France, Italy, Germany, including Romania, but I believe that the implementation of the discipline Civic Education in the gymnasium module is not enough, neither convincing.
We believe that the new, basic principals of Education, which will be known, understood and applied to all teachers, through the whole range of educational process in the long life learning individuals, and also in the informal educational process, have whereat people access the existence are:
1. Self-awareness – is necessary because it allows each person to find their role in society, to know their weaknesses and develop in accordance with the unique abilities of his genetic inheritance. One realizes / her self his can easily work in choosing the occupation or carrier to exercise that he or she will be able to direct their energy to and recognize the real problems of the world and society faces. Consciousness-based education, introduced in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, is unique in its ability to effectively develop the whole brain potential of every student.
2. Stimulate creativity – this special quality is reflected in the spiritual and social progress of new ideas, concepts, organizations, and allows individual adjustment to unpredictable context and situation. There are simple methods associated with lateral thinking that can contribute to the work, for example :. Fiction, fiction as an imaginary product (randomness, improvisation, PS)
3. Communication – the actual form and methods used to study habits, communication is not valued at a supreme value, for the most part individual projects it is encouraged, which promotes inappropriate values such as selfishness, indifference, self-interest. Without communication problems and discuss difficult circumstances, there is no way to keep solve in the best parameters of time, quality and accuracy. The man can not act in terms of social responsibility, the "macro sentiment," which I believe to be shallow approach, especially in the economical environment.
4. Promote responsible role in society – education must train one for quick, safe and effective thinking. To think incisively and to think of one's self is very difficult. We tend to let our spiritual life become invaded by legions of half truths, prejudices and propaganda. At this point, I wonder often if education is to fulfill its purpose. The vast majority of so-called educated people do not think logically and scientifically. Even short, the classroom, the platform, and the pulpit in many cases do not give us objective and unbiased truths. To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the main goals of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from fiction. This is the way he or she could develop and take active part in society.
5. Changing the opening – in order to be able to intervene in the actual course of life ring, adopt and promote changes considered healthy habits that enhances flexibility and disruption of the current corporately stereotypes, which are the way mankind to destruction, because of the ignorance or simply because of the unprecedented problems that Terra faces. From this perspective, change challenge involves a real transformation of the mental level and human behavior, to meet the priorities need to be treated immediately. Here are: the need to re-transformation of the global economy from a military economy civil one, immediate solutions for the energetic and environmental problems, as well as the underdevelopment and poverty factors produced in the world
6. Global vision of the world – in fact, the education system as a whole, is constituted by the sum of the operating procedure (-> food -> communication), the ultimate goal must reflect realistic and global view of the world. At present, young people are informed about global issues through sources such as the media, not allowing a healthy analysis, not allowing discussion and comprehensive facilities that could lead to understanding and build personal views about factors such as underdevelopment, international economical relations, international monetary, etc.
7. Capacity to solve the problem – problem solving is the easiest way to re-create conditions and actions in the artificial way experience that allows students and students to deal with in a constructive way and to develop solutions for different problems. Learning Systems that are basically constructed like this are better because it helps people to recognize and adapt to the specific economic, social, psychological, spiritual context and identify real problems in any form, linking the optimal choice of the decision. For example, simulate complex economic context for a start-up company, leading to stimulation of individual creativity and decision-making ability.
8. Multidisciplinary teams – allow to reshape and reform scholar curricular in need of form in order to develop this talent and ability, we are even suggest some changes in the study of discipline, based on logical and contextual relationships between them , providing an understanding of all current compliance at a certain point. For example, public finances should be studied in the International Monetary System context and not separately. At the same time this characteristic includes, according to the previously said, the starting point of cooperation between students coming from different specialization, in order to achieve complex projects with a multidisciplinary approach. In this case, implementation business would combine students from different categories of economic science discipline (services, marketing, management) and students from engineering, agricultural and other information university.
In recent years, there have been project managers who recognize the importance of remodeling and upgrading Learning Systems and they have introduced some of these principals through various pedagogical and psychological methods and ideas, which became a guide-lines in university education programs from regions around the world. A recent example of this point is the study conducted by Clay Shirky, author of "Here Comes Everybody", in which he suggested that innovative learning model, called the Open Model of Education. In the closed Model of Education or Classical System, education is limited because of the ideas that the school or district may consider can come from only a limited number of sources, usually teachers, managers and consultants. Great thought must be put into consideration the ideas because the time and cost of failure is so high. Time spent with meetings, training of personnel and materials, the cost. This means that the filter concept is very high. Only those ideas that seem to have the greatest benefit will be implemented, though there is no way to know in advance that one of the ideas selected will bring the desired benefits, and one of the ideas on the table could be the most effective and beneficial.
It is true that by putting into practice the education system based on the same universal principles it really means to stimulate the globalization of universal optic herself. While the manner in which this model contributes to the globalization phenomenon is clear, we still have to consider the fact that the final purpose of education is none other then faced with the impact of globalization and the impact, and the global impact on the environment and, ultimately, how people live everywhere. Education will allow us to know the real estate in the world, with all the pluses and minuses, and also will study the effect of each individual in the world and the coming generations. In other words, we consider political, economic and administrative sciences weapons less important in the process of international affairs of extinction, compared to education, the social sciences.
Finally, I want to specify how these ideas were prepared and were essential them. This actual study is not the result of thorough research activity, neither a genius idea. I am myself a "product" of the classic, formal educational system, but also had some benefits do not form a formal school system by involving me in a voluntary organization that developed soft skills and hard skills both. I believe that these practices are not adapted enough international context that we face everyday, and specialized publications exposing, bringing a more prominent impact on human existence on Terra. I am a person who does not hold sufficient information and the power to be a voice and to be able to engage in sustainable and stable development of society, the values are not profit, nepotism, indifference to future generations, but the responsibility to create and offer equal opportunities. I'm an ambassador of culture that is plunging head first, shy courage to change the dissonant series and murderously world.

Recognition at the European Property Awards is considered to be one of the real estate sector's most distinguished accolades. In the competition, an international jury of over 60 experts assesses new properties from the standpoints of architecture, real estate development, interior design and real estate marketing. The Okhta Mall was awarded in two different categories: shopping centre architecture (Retail Architecture) and project marketing (Development Marketing). The 2016 awards were presented on 27 October, at the 25th anniversary gala of the European Property Awards in London.
In addition to architecture and marketing, the Okhta Mall has been recognised for its ecological aspects. From the very beginning, it has been an objective of the approximately EUR 200 million investment project to adhere to the main principles of sustainable development. The Okhta Mall was the first Russian shopping centre to receive a LEED GOLD certificate.
"Okhta Mall is our flagship project in Russia and the cornerstone of our operations in Russia and St. Petersburg. The goal was for the Okhta Mall to be a modern Scandinavian and ecological shopping centre. It is truly excellent that the Okhta Mall has been recognised so soon after opening for what it aimed to achieve," says Veli-Matti Kullas, SVP, Project Development in Russia.
Construction work on the Okhta Mall began in autumn 2013, and the shopping centre opened in August 2016. The shopping centre, which has a total floor area of 140,000 square metres, is one of St. Petersburg's biggest as well as the largest retail project implemented in the city in recent years. Its leasable commercial space totals 78,000 square metres. The Okhta Mall's investors are SRV Group Plc and the Finnish investment fund Russia Invest, which is owned by SRV together with Ilmarinen, Sponda, Etera and Onvest. The Finnish architectural firm L Architects Oy was responsible for the modern Scandinavian design.
