Mark 5:21-43
After Jesus crossed over by boat, a large crowd met him at the seaside. One of the meeting-place leaders named Jairus came. When he saw Jesus, he fell to his knees, beside himself as he begged, "My dear daughter is at death's door. Come and lay hands on her so she will get will and live." Jesus went with him, the whole crowd tagging along, pushing and jostling him.
A woman who had suffered a condition of hemorrhaging for twelve years - a long succession of physicians had treated her, and treated her badly, taking all her money and leaving her worse off than before - had heard about Jesus. She slipped in from behind and touched his robe. She was thinking to herself, "If I can put a finger on his robe, I can get well." The moment she did it, the flow of blood dried up. She could feel the change and knew her plague was over and done with.
At the same moment, Jesus felt energy discharging from him. He turned around to the crowd and asked, "Who touched my robe?"
His disciples said, "What are you talking about? With this crowd pushing and jostling you, you're asking, 'Who touched me?' Dozens have touched you.
But he went on asking, looking around to see who had done it. The woman, knowing what had happened, knowing she was the one, stepped up in fear and trembling, knelt before him, and gave him the whole story.
Jesus said to her, "Daughter, you took a risk of faith, and now you're healed and whole. Live well, live blessed! Be healed of your plague."
While he was still talking, some people came from the leader's house and told him, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
Jesus overheard what they were talking about and said to the leader, "Don't listen to them; just trust me."
He permitted no one to go in with him except Peter, James, and John. They entered the leader's house and pushed their way through the gossips looking for a story and neighbors bringing in casseroles. Jesus was abrupt: "Why all this busybody grief and gossip? This child isn't dead; she's sleeping." Provoked to sarcasm, they told him he didn't know what he was talking about.
But when he had sent them all out, he took the child's father and mother, along with his companions, and entered the child's room. He clasped the girl's hand and said, "talitha koum," which means, "Little girl, get up." At that, she was up and walking around! This girl was twelve years of age. They, of course, were all beside themselves with joy. He gave them strict orders that no one was to know what had taken place in that room. Then he said, "Giver her something to eat."
[The Message]
1. Having come through the stilling of a storm (external to a boat) and the stilling of a storm (internal to madness) we are now ready to still additional internal and external storms. Without these extensions we, true to our limited vision, would think storms only had to do with wind and demon.
2. Can you imagine the internal storm experienced and the external storm caused by Jairus with his pleading for a daughter (so many different levels of counter-cultural behavior here).
Jesus simply proceeded. Interruptions occurred, and still do, with loss of energy and other distractions. Jesus simply proceeded. Temptations occurred, and still do, to give up for the task is hopeless. Jesus simply proceeded. The initial task is completed. Jesus simply proceeds home.
3. Can you imagine the internal storm experienced and the external storm caused by a woman with her acting on her own behalf (again, so many different levels of count-cultural behavior here).
Jesus simply stops. Large, distant tasks are not to get in the way of small, present tasks. Jesus simply stops. Power issues need to be addressed as soon as possible and not put off. Jesus simply stops. The task at hand needs attending to with some completeness. Jesus simply attends to where he is, making home wherever he is, even among the foxes.

Becoming a wholesale vitamin supplier is easier than you might think. While you must be focused and intuitive while creating your business and brand, success can bring you a solid income as well as the ability to catapult into other opportunities. That's just what legendary entrepreneur and author Tim Ferriss did with one of his first companies, BrainQUICKEN. Through this company, Ferriss was a reseller of one of the first nootropic supplements to hit the market.
World of Possibilities
While he has long since sold the company, being a retail and wholesale vitamin supplier got him his start as an entrepreneur. It paid the bills and functioned as a "muse" business that funded his other ventures – as well as numerous amazing vacations and personal growth adventures.
Eventually, Tim Ferriss learned about the benefits of outsourcing as many of his business tasks as possible until he eventually pared his efforts down to a "four hour work week" – just 20 to 30 minutes per day of checking in with the business most weeks.
Since then, Ferriss has written numerous successful books and articles, including the book that made him famous: "The Four Hour Work Week." Ferriss is currently the host of a successful podcast and blog that continues to inspire entrepreneurs all over the world.
Are you ready to get started as a wholesale vitamin supplier?
Decide On Your Business Model(s)
Your structure as a wholesale vitamin supplier may embody a variety of different models. A Multilevel Marketing (MLM) model would involve you inviting resellers to offer your wholesale products to the public. You could also be the middleman between the wholesale manufacturer and health food stores and other retailers. You might choose to create your own label and brand for your business, as Tim Ferriss did. However, you can also have branches of your business involved in all three models. It's entirely up to you!
Research the Industry and Your Product Ideas
Be sure to do plenty of homework about the industry as well as your vitamin and supplement product ideas. What private label vitamins and supplements are selling well on eBay and Amazon? Read health and nutrition forum discussions to see what people are talking about. Once you've determined where the market is headed, you'll be better informed as you select and refine your product line.
Inventory Management
Inventory management is crucial as a wholesale vitamin supplier. If your customer cant reorder these contingent based items whenever they need you will never earn their brand loyalty!
Partner with a High Quality Vitamin and Supplement Manufacturer
This decision is crucial to your success as a wholesale vitamin supplier. Screen vitamin and supplement manufacturers based upon reputation, feedback from customers and longevity in the industry. Verify that they are a certified manufacturer and not a reseller themselves. Look for qualities like trustworthiness, integrity, timeliness and good communication.
Market Testing
Next, do some independent testing of your product ideas. Enter into health and nutrition forum discussions and talk about your product with members so that you can gauge the response of your target audience. Buy some samples of your products and offer them on eBay, Amazon and other low-risk venues to see the response.
Create focus groups and have trusted friends and contacts try your supplements and give their honest opinion; you can use what they say as testimonials in your marketing later.
Experiment with different brand names and product packaging imagery as well.
Finalize Your Business Name and Brand
Image, branding and marketing can be just as crucial to success as a quality product. Based upon your research and testing, finalize the decisions about your business and product names as well as the product offerings themselves. Refine your logo, brand imagery and marketing material.
Register your business under your desired tax structure and obtain a tax identification number. Open a business bank account and a method for processing payment from customers.
Marketing is Key to Success as a Wholesale Vitamin Supplier
You can have the most amazing and helpful products, but if no one knows about them, they can't help anyone. Put considerable time into your online presence including a solid website and social media accounts.
Set up stores in eBay, Amazon, Yahoo and other quality platforms.
Be sure to keep SEO in mind; identify the top keywords for your products and use them optimally throughout so search engines and customers can find you. Consider using banner advertising and pay-per-click opportunities like Google AdWords and Facebook ads. Becoming a wholesale vitamin supplier takes time and focus, but the rewards can be substantial. You'll be assisting others in improving their health while also making a nice income.
Follow these seven steps for getting started, and you could be on your way to entrepreneurial greatness like Tim Ferriss.

Lang Propellers
|Aviation, engineering, airscrew production
|Ceased aircraft equipment and laminate manufacture
|Lang, Garnett & Co.[1][2]
|The Airscrew Co. Ltd
|Weybridge, Surrey,and Peterborough England
Key people
|A.A.D. Lang
|Propellers, fans, laminate products
Lang Propellers was a British company, specialising in aircraft propeller manufacture the company traded between 1913 and 1936.
In 1909 Arthur Alexander Dashwood Lang became interested in aircraft propeller design and made some propellers in his own name. Lang developed and patented,[3] processes for copper tipping propeller blades, as well as producing fabric tipped propellers, such as those used on the Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2C aircraft. In 1910 he went to work for British & Colonial (later the Bristol Aircraft Co.) as manager of the propeller shop. He left in 1912 and set up in partnership with David Garnett at the Riverside Works Weybridge, Surrey.The company was called Lang, Garnett & Co. This enterprise lasted a matter of months before Garnett left the firm. Lang established the Lang Propeller company and continued to use the "Riverside Works[4] ", (these premises were later used by The Airscrew Company to manufacture propellers and associated components) in 1913, and at its peak the company supplied wooden propellers to nearly every aeroplane company in England. Lang sold this company to the Sopwith Aircraft company.
In April 1936 the Aeronautical Corporation of Great Britain, Ltd[5] was incorporated. The new company was formed to acquire the assets of companies involved in the UK production of the Aeronca aircraft, and to acquire from Lang Propellers Ltd., the whole of its assets. These comprised rights under British Patents relating to machines for shaping airscrew blades applied for by Lang. The new company bought a factory at Walton near Peterborough that had been built during the first world war for Frederick Sage & Company for aircraft production.
Lang USA
The Lang Propeller Company of America Inc.[6] was established as a Manhattan corporation with a capital of $45,000, with Lang, L.L. Montant and E.N. Bush as Directors in August 1917. Dashwood Lang had just sold his UK company to the Sopwith Aircraft company and this was a new enterprise. The US Navy contracted Lang to supply them with propellers and paid for the construction of a factory at Whitestone on Long Island. By late 1917 the company name was changed to Lang Products Co. Prior to the factory being completed Lang subcontracted the manufacture of his designs to local US and Canadian producers.
Arthur Alexander Dashwood Lang
Lang formed another company A. D. Lang Ltd. In 1921 it was described as being general manufacturers, buying and selling agents, printers, lithographers, manufacturers of chemicals with offices at 4, Vigo Street, London W1.[7][8] In addition to his work in developing propellers and associated equipment, Lang found time in 1923 to patent a wheel for vehicles.[9] In 1936 Lang joined the Board of Hordern-Richmond, another British company that was closely involved in the development and production of airscrews and propellers.

Here's a case that apartment management companies everywhere should pay attention to: A judge in Nassau County, N.Y., ruled that a nonsmoking tenant should be permitted to break her lease and pay reduced rent because her complaints about a smoking neighbor were not addressed.
The company had sued the tenant for $12,000 in unpaid rent. Here's what the judge said, according to a story on Crain's new york business.com:
When a tenant's smoking results in an intrusion of secondhand smoke into another tenant's apartment, and that tenant complains repeatedly, the landlord runs a financial risk if it fails to take appropriate action. … The landlord's failure to take appropriate action, over a period of several months, to rectify a secondhand-smoke nuisance, justifies rent abatement, and excuses the tenant from any obligation to pay rent after her constructive eviction.

In many ways my first attempt at curling was very similar to my first attempt at trail running. It was only the medium into which I fell that was different.
Yes, on Sunday I fulfilled a lifelong dream to go curling. (OK, maybe lifelong is a bit of poetic license, but I've wanted to try curling for a long time. It's that lure of the border which comes from growing up in Western New York.) Again, what I lack in skill I make up for in enthusiasm. My first practice slid (without a rock) resulted in me, sprawled face-first, on the ice.
Luckily, it only got better from there.
I lost track of how many times I fell, because, well, it was pretty much a given that I would fall early

The artist
The theme for this weeks challenge at QKR Stampede is embossing.
I used embossed core'dinations card for my background, sanding it before I matted it onto white card. The image is Artist Bear (number 14409) which I coloured using Promarkers and cut out before attaching it to the card. I added Glossy Accents to the bear's nose and to the paint on the palate and used a silver gel pen on the collar of the paint brush.
Finally I added a sentiment.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Some advocate the use of racial and religious profiling — specifically, looking for young fundamentalist Muslim males who come from the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. But others counter that profiling just invites terrorist groups to recruit operatives who don't fit the profile — and that what's important is looking at behavior. Plus, they say, singling out one group sends a bad message to society and isolates the group in question.
Jim Morrison's haunting poetry and Ray Manzarek's remarkable flights on the keyboard, backed by Densmore's jazz beats and Krieiger's intense guitar, created something that had never been heard before. The Doors achieved meteoric status as they soared to stardom but the excesses of their lead singer, Jim Morrison, resulted in an equally deep and abrupt crash. Dead at age 27, every question about the truths and myths of the times, about art and addiction, about authority and defiance – about alienation – were embodied in his persona.

I'm not entirely sure that's true Mozza.
What Google and the like do is not what Blairmore does. What Jimmy Carr did was similarly nothing like what Cameron was doing with his money.
I am led to believe that as a collective investment fund, Blairmore wouldn't have paid corporation tax even if it had been registered to the UK. The tax liability is transferred to the underlying investor of which the PM was one AND which he paid in full.
The inheritance tax gifts is perfectly legal and is in the spirit of the law as well as the letter. It is not a loophole.
vulcanman Wrote:
Gifting is very common indeed where a sum of money is passed down to the next generation to avoid paying inheritance tax. It is all about timing, in that if the person who makes the gift survive for 7 years after the gift then tax is not due. Similarly, people often transfer ownership of a house to the next generation so that the family house is not taken into account for any end of life care needs. All perfectly legal to the spirit and letter of the law with no expensive tax advisers being required; any solicitor can take care of this for anybody.
I suppose that these are both examples of tax avoidance, although it is usually called tax planning. Tax evasion is a different matter and needs stamping out once and for all.
OliverJohnstone Wrote:
I am not aware of how he has avoided tax.
As I have mentioned in earlier comments, he paid full UK tax on his receipts from Blairmore which as a fund would not have paid tax in the UK either. Funds can be based abroad for regulatory purposes as well as for tax purposes.
Gifting inheritance tax is not classed as tax avoidance because it is an actively encouraged and legally supported practice, not taking advantage of loop holes or aggressive accounting practices.

Kuwait is reliant on the burning of fossil fuels for its energy and water production. According to Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW), electricity consumption is growing at almost 8 percent a year, which means that generating capacity has to be doubled every decade. By 2030, approximately 900,000 barrels of oil per day will be used to cover the demand for electricity and water.
This will be one-third of Kuwait's oil production. Such demand will pose significant challenge to the energy sector's capacity in terms of fuel and infrastructure. In order to diversify its energy mix, Kuwait has set its renewable energy goal to increase share of renewable energy generation to 15 percent by 2030, which will be roughly equivalent to 4.5 GW of power production.
Electricity produced from renewables will ensure Kuwait's energy security in the future, as less oil and gas has to be consumed domestically thus freeing up more oil for exports to increase the country's revenues. Renewable energy will also positively contribute to the economy through job creation, attracting investment, and private sector growth. Renewable energy technologies will allow Kuwait to tackle the twin issues of air pollution and carbon emissions.
The target though might appear ambitious at first sight for a country that has a meager 12 MW of renewable energy generation capacity installed by the end of 2016; it is achievable as Kuwait is endowed with abundant renewable resources. Kuwait has 1900 kWh/sq. m/year of solar potential and 1605 hours /year of wind potential.
Kuwait should in-principle have no trouble reaching and exceeding its target, if the political will exists and the renewable energy program is rigorously implemented.
More progress is required in market infrastructure, policies and building technical and commercial skills. Some of the groundwork to turn the renewable energy vision into reality has already progressed.
Together with relevant stakeholders, Kuwait's oil industry has initiated a number of large-scale renewable energy projects and some in gasoline stations, power plants, green buildings etc.
With numerous projects in the pipeline, the focus now should be on implementing projects in a timely manner, building necessary local capabilities and on developing new projects to be able to reach the target. In addition, setting a vision reflects the government commitment towards renewable energy, while the next logical step would be to develop a comprehensive renewable energy framework with supporting policies and regulations to attract more investments.
Demonstrating success in Kuwait will open up additional opportunities for its finance sector and help Kuwait attain an international role in the renewable space and more importantly in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Realizing the opportunity will require close collaboration between policy makers, research institutes, oil sector and financial institutions.
Better policy definition and establishing a road map for a circular economy will help development of renewables, further de-risk projects, and support the development of new and innovative structures.
In the short and medium term, Kuwait will need to follow up with concrete steps towards implementation of the Amir's vision to maintain its leadership in the energy sector and establish its credibility in the renewable energy space.

Cahokia was the largest centers in the United States as well as boasts has the tallest mound (Monks Mound). The agency preserves 68 of the original 120 mounds. There are guided tours in the summer, a nature trail and three self guided interpretive trails for the plaza, Monks Mound and Woodhenge. The interpretive center is one of the best I've been to. The staff and tour guides are very knowledgeable.
Emerald Mound
Emerald Mound was the center of a ceremonial center occupied from 1250 to 1600AD. Emerald Mound is one of the largest mounds in the United States covering eight acres and 35 feet high. There are two smaller mounds on top of Emerald and at one time there were several around the base but were destroyed from development. The mound is located about ten miles northeast of Natchez, Mississippi on the Natchez Trace Parkway.
Angel mounds
Angel Mounds is located southeast of Evansville, Indiana overlooking the Ohio River. The complex was built around 1000AD and was abandoned by 1450AD. It is one of the best preserved prehistoric Native American sites in the United States. There are seven mounds in two complexes with Central Mound as the highest in the complex. There is also an example of a stockade wall and an interpretive center.

Sailor Moon Expanded : The Next Generation presents1. Wasted Teens Land 3004 AD Sailors V and Arcturus moved as quietly as possible through the forest. A low mist covered the ground while bare, gnarled trees dripping with fungus towered above them. A myriad of cries of unknown origin echoed around them along with the bubbling of an unseen marsh. It was, they both had to agree, exactly the sort of place you'd expect to find a monster. Sailor V whispered, "Now, soon as we spot the genie I'll give the speech while you cover me." Her partner sighed. "Look will you forget the speech! Soon as we spot it we should blast it." "Sailor V always introduces herself!" "Who too? There's no one here but us and the genie and it's not going to care who we are ahhhh!" Sailor V rolled her eyes as her friend stumbled and grabbed a tree for support. "That's the third time! You're so clumsy!" "Hey, you try walking in these heels!" "Why won't you wear flats? Forget image, how are you gonna fight if you can't even stand up?" "I'll be fine!" Arcturus was almost as stubborn as V. "Yeah, right." They began squabbling, forgetting why they'd been trying to keep quiet. They were abruptly reminded when they emerged into a clearing and almost walked into their prey. The hulking white creature took a few moments to notice them. Then it roared in defiance. Arcturus took a few steps to the side so they could bracket the genie in a crossfire and cursed as V stood her ground and began a speech. "Creature of evil the hour of retribution has ... holy shit!" It didn't have the brains to comprehend her words and fight or flight reaction had yielded fight. "Sailor V Beam!" It was a pretty good recovery as she targeted the charging monster. Unfortunately her aim wasn't equal to her reaction time and the energy bolt tore past it without contact. Before she could even curse it was before her and punching a clawed hand into her chest. Sailor V was still staring at her chest wound in disbelief as the creature tore free to deeal with the second intruder. Sailor Arcturus spun to blast the creature, the plasma sphere armed and ready. Clear shot, it was history except ...! Sailor V realized she was dead and fell down clearing the line of fire. Arcturus raised her hands taking a step forward in her eagerness. Her heel went out under her and her ankle twisted. Still sealed within its containment field the sphere bounced away into the undergrowth. Arcturus fell forward with a cry and felt her ankle catch fire. She clutched at it and hissed in pain. Damn! What a time to sprain ... She suddenly realized she'd let the pain distract her as the shadow fell over her. Arcturus looked up in time to see the claws arcing down in a decapitating strike. She gave a shriek and raised her arms to shield herself automatically. When next she opened her eyes it was to see her headless body lying on the ground a short distance away. The creature threw back its head and howled in triumph as her blood dripped from its talons. Forceshield! She should have raised her forceshield! Or tried to generate an energy bat to block its arm. She felt like a real idiot. A rose punched into the ground stem first directly in her line of sight. She looked up and to her right to see the figure in a tuxedo standing on a branch a few metres up. "The flower of a girl's youth should not be wasted upon such a vile visage. They should seek love and the shelter of strong arms not the bloody clash of battle. Face your true adversary monster for Tuxedo Mask shall vanquish ..." He took in the sight of the two deceased senshi having been too busy setting up his entrance to follow the brief fight. "Ah! T'would appear my timing was less opportune than I believed!" The Genie took no notice of him. Its job was done so it shimmered out of existence. A pleasant female voice announced, "This combat simulation has concluded. You have both been killed by a level one GENerIc Enemy. Your combat rating is ...", a fractional pause for assessment, "..pathetic." Kodachi Aino got to her feet, the yellow "Not Suitable For Children" banner vanishing from her chest along with the simulated wound it had covered. "No way that was a level one! And what are you doing here?" Tuxedo Mask dropped down to the ground and looked down on his sister with his usual imperial distain. "I have arrived to protect my love for such is my destiny. Fair Sylvite you should leave such graceless sports to those like my sister whom fate has blessed with athletic prowess to offset her lack of wits." Kodachi took a moment to work this out then glared at her brother. Unconsciously her right hand started glowing. "Alan, I've said it many times before but I'll say it again. I'm not your girlfriend! Why can't you ever understand that?" Sylvite sat up and started massaging her aching ankle. She noticed her simulated headless body blink out along with the yellow censor panel that had covered the neck stump. She ignored the psychoplasm rose Alan offered and wondered what she'd done to deserve this. Years ago her mother had warned her that physically developing at a much faster pace than her contemporaries would bring problems but she'd figured that meant from boys her own age. She had been unprepared for the swarm of older boys who found her combination of beauty and naivety irresistible. Over the past few years this had resulted in a definite cynicism towards the male gender. Alan was more honest and honourable in his intentions than most of them which was the sole reason she had never pounded him. Actually that wasn't quite true, there were other reasons. From birth her parents had taught that most other children and indeed most adults were fragile by comparison and she must not to abuse her innate abilities. Of late she had found herself beset by boys too thick to pick up on any less subtle rejection but she had decided abuse meant permanent harm. With the result that there was a sizeable percentage of boys at Sakurada Haruna Memorial Junior High showing up with bruises. How the rumour she'd date any boy who could defeat her had got started she had no idea. But despite publicly denying it several times she still had to keep battling her way into school. While she was heartily sick of it she actually found those idiots preferable to the creeps who tried to take advantage of her youth and inexperience. Besides there was a certain satisfaction in having an excuse to pound boys which was why she had never made a formal complaint to the school board. Alan was the only one of her would be suitors to approach openly and without guile. She had also looked up to him as a sort of older brother in her childhood and retained a certain measure of affection for him. On the negative side he had appointed himself her protector when she was more than capable of taking care of herself. Good grief, she had a lot more power than him being pure youma instead of one of the near human Ainos. This whole Tuxedo Mask image got on her nerves. She didn't need him or any other boy to take care of her. Kodi was all the help she needed ... okay admittedly they had just screwed up big time in the simulation but that was just inexperience. Even so she didn't want or need help from Alan or any other boy. Why couldn't he get the message and leave her alone? Currently he was ignoring the "I don't want your damn help!" glare she was giving him and look solicitous again. Alan gestured at her aching ankle as she kept rubbing it.. "Would you like me too ..." "No, it'll be fine in a few minutes." She sighed, one more try at using reason. "Look Alan I realise you mean well and I did like you a lot when I was younger but that was over with a long time ago. There's plenty of girls around who'd consider you a great catch. Why don't you find yourself a girl your own age? Like one of the twins or Hematite or whoever else you hang around with?" He blinked "Hematite? While she is beauteous in form and mind she is my cousin ..." "So am I!" Alan gave her a patronizing smile. "Our fathers our cousins through their mothers thus our blood relationship is most tenuous. It is no impediment to a true meeting of our hearts. But even though Hematite were unrelated to me I would choose you over her ... "Alan you're seven years older than me and don't give me that 'full blooded youma girls grow up faster' bit again! Mom may have but Aunt Ti took her time and so will I! Forget how I look and try to remember I'm only fourteen years old!" He didn't seem to get it so she kept going. "Look the Tuxedo Mask bit may have working on Sailor Moon despite the age difference but it doesn't do a thing for me!" Alan answered her with his, 'Alas, my love rejects me once more' look. Which meant all she'd done was give him romantic sorrow. Once again he'd be down for a little while then redouble his determation to win her heart. Sure that true love would win as it always did here in Crystal Tokyo. Sylvite sighed. Mom had warned her that in his younger days Uncle Cal had been an idiot when it came to women. Looked like he'd passed that on to Alan along with the shaping ability. As for Alan he wasn't quite done yet. He was unhappy but hardly about to take it out on her. However his sister was another matter. He gestured to theplace their adversary had stood. "You were incorrect sister, that truly was a level one genie. It reacted slowly and did not sense either of you until both were almost standing before it. Had you been paying attention either of you could have vanquished it with ease before it attacked. Instead both of you died pointlessly and unpleasantly. Kodak, its claws drove through your right breast shredding the upper lobe of your right lung before puncturing the superior vena cava and your aorta. While the penetration was too high to strike the heart the combination of severed major blood vessels and a sucking chest would was more that sufficient to ...." "Big brother, shut up. What's important is we screwed up and got killed. Fine, we know that! Who cares about all the gory details? And stop calling me Kodak!" "The fool hides her face from unpleasant truths. Or to put it terms you'll understand you're nowhere near ready to face anything real. It would rend my heart to see my true love injured ..." Syl rolled her eyes but he didn't notice. "If you cannot be dissuaded from this foolish course then I will teach you ..." "Forget it big brother!" Kodachi was emphatic. "I admit we need training but you can't teach us what we need. We don't just want to know how to fight properly. We need to learn to do it with the right style. So we can be top rank lesser senshi, worthy successors who nobody doubts deserve to use the names we've revived. To do that we're going to need someone with the right experience. Lucky I know just the person!" Syl shook her head, "Forget it Kodi-chan. Mom'll never go for it. She's never been that keen on the whole lesser senshi thing. That's why she stopped appearing as Sailor Arcturus. She just used the image when she had to!" "Actually I was thinking of Aunt Ti." Aunt Ti? Sylvite thought about that. Yeah, that made a lot of sense. "Kodi-chan, you're a genius! Who better than Sailor Polaris, the original lesser senshi?" Alan looked thoughtful. "Rare as it is sister you have had a reasonable idea. I suggest you treasure this moment for you may not experience such a time again." "Alan if you really want to impress me you'll stop putting Kodi down all the time." "I will be happy to do so should my sister promise to do the reverse." Kodachi snorted, "Give up insulting you? It'll be a cold day in hell." "That would appear to settle the matter." Sylvite sighed. "I guess. Glad I'm an only child the way you two carry on." Alan surprised her by saying, "Siblings are not without their good points but remain a mixed blessing at best." Looking reluctant Kodachi nodded in agreement. Sylvite glanced at the watch embedded in her armband. "We've still got the place for another ten minutes. You want to ..." Kodi thought for a second then shook her head. "No, by the time we get another simulation running it'll be time to clear out. And it'd be a cheat to run the old one again because we'd know what to expect so there's no real competition. Better clear out." Kodachi sighed, "As we didn't last long enough to work up a sweat there's not much point in hitting the showers so we might as well change right back." "Right." Sylvite rested her hand on the armband then hesitated and looked at Alan. He nodded in agreement and said, "So as not to disturb decorum I shall depart while you change. I am sure I will enjoy your company another time." He did a quick bow to Sylvite, "Your servant ...", while just glancing at Kodachi. "Sister." With that he stepped towards a patch of forest which suddenly irised open to reveal a corridor. It closed behind him restoring the illusion. Sylvite touched her wristband while Kodachi's finger's brushed her mask. Neither felt in the mood for any ceremony about untransforming. Kodachi's Sailor V costume shifted back to a pink blouse and skirt combination that she felt complimented her hair nicely. In place of a mask she was now wearing a pair of large round eyeglasses. Her eyesight was fine the glasses being just a fashion accessory. With magi-sci medical technology no one in Crystal Tokyo had eye problems unless they insisted on avoiding treatment. However there was currently a craze for wearing plain glass frames among teenage girls and Kodachi had hopped on the bandwagon. More for the in-look than to attract boys which was the reason most wore them. Besides it gave her a neat place to conceal her costume transmuter. The whole fad was supposed to have been triggered by the usual source. Pictures of the senshi as teenagers. This time a picture of Mercury wearing glasses had circulated. Someone had said, "Kawaii!" and it had snowballed from there. Sylvite's costume vanished and her spiked wristband became a watch. She was wearing her usual loose clothing, an oversized shirt topping a pair of baggy pants. She tried not to look overly relieved at getting out of the costume. God, that thing was tight! She wasn't used to that skintight stuff after years of wearing the exact opposite. Kodachi noticed her friend's concealed expression but didn't comment. It would take Syl a while to get adapt to the rather extreme wardrobe change. She'd taken to oversized clothing a couple of years earlier as her figure developed far faster than her personality. Growing sick of the attention this gained her from their school's male populace she had started dressing to conceal her lush shape. Which Kodachi thought was a shame as Syl had a great body ... which was just stating the facts nothing more than that! Sylvite was a very attractive young woman ... that is teenager with the body of a sexy young woman ... that was undeniable and it didn't mean anything more than that. A simple aesthetic judgement nothing more. Before too long she'd fill out herself then they could compare their figures and ... nothing wrong with that, the girls at school did it all the time. Perfectly natural. "Kodi, you okay?" Kodachi pulled herself out of the reverie. "Huh, uhm fine. Why?" "You're looking kind of flushed." "I am ... must be Alan, he always gets me worked up. You're lucky you don't have a brother!" "The way you two squabble I guess you're right." Sylvite frowned, "Say, how does Alan keep turning up wherever I am? I'm the one who can teleport and Dad swears he's shown no signs of learning space folding or anything like that. It's not his field of study anyway." In fact over at CTU Alan was majoring in English Literature with a minor in healing magic. During his free time he was continuing to study at a dojo founded by one of his elder brothers that specialized in fighting styles to enhance one's paranormal capabilities. Because of Crystal Tokyo's rules the dojo was located in outside Crystal Tokyo. Family legend had it that Daisuke Aino had been forced to learn to fight once he left CT because of his extremely bishouen appearance. Whatever the story he had been initially taught by their father how to utilize his innate abilities then used several decades of his Aino clan lifespan to travel the world studying varied martial arts. Which he had synthesised together with his own paranormal capabilities to found the Parasynthesis School of Martial Arts. It was renowned as an excellent training center for those possessing powers and learning to use and control them. But because of the time requirements and the formal structure most considering the champion lifestyle were still self taught lacking the necessary patience. Which was fine with Daisuke who considered the school's mission more of a pathway to self awareness rather than teaching people the best way to whack each other. This was why both Sylvite and Kodachi had considered trying the PSMA but rejected the idea. They wanted to become Sailor Senshi now! Not in ten years time. During the war Daisuke (who was nearing his 500th birthday) while not officially part of the Crystal Tokyo forces had been effective as a guerilla in occupied Japan. Also during the war Calcite had promised young Alan that if he wanted to learn to fight so he could help defend Crystal Tokyo then he would let him study under Daisuke when he was old enough. After war had ended Alan hadn't forgotten that and Calcite had kept his word, enrolling him at 8. Minako had been a little concerned but hadn't interfered. Though this hadn't been from objections to Alan learning to fight and defend himself. Rather it was due to a lingering sense of wrongness over their older son's lifestyle. Having grown up in a Kingdom where centuries of fear and deference to their leaders had lead to acceptance of everything they did Calcite had never really understood the problem. Though he considered it ironic that there were any ways in which his former homeland was more tolerant than some terrestrial societies. As for Alan, Daisuke considered his younger brother a good student on the physical side of the training regime but more than a little obsessive over certain things. His younger sister's assessment was much harsher. Or as she put it, "Why don't you ever tell Alan to go ... to leave you alone?" She sounded hesitant as she added, "You're not ... you're not starting to buy into his lunacy are you?" "Come on Kodi! We both know I'm sick of boys bothering me. Testosterone driven idiots! No wonder none of the real Senshi were teenage boys. Destiny knew better! Give one of those idiots real power and they'd blow up the world showing off what they could do!" Getting her temper under control she added, "But there's no need for you to follow my example. Just because I avoid boys doesn't mean you have to." Kodachi snorted. "After seeing the way they act around you do you expect me to be inspired to date them? You're right, they're all jerks! Let's talk about something pleasant." "Okay. So how about we call Aunt Ti and see if we can meet with her for a hour or so this evening to discuss things. I'll bet it'll take us a bit of time to talk her into this." Kodachi looked a little ill at ease, "Uhm, actually I'm kinda busy this evening ... you remember the Japanese history paper that's due tomorrow?" "The one on the 19th century they assigned us last week?" Kodi nodded and Sylvite remembered the teacher commenting that she was picking a time before everyone's parents were born just to be fair. "Sure, I did it the night they assigned it. I thought you said ..." "Yeah, well I sort of exaggerated when I said I was working on it ..." "How much have you done?" "Well ... this is only a rough guess but I would say approximately ... none." Sylvite rolled her eyes. "Honestly Kodi, you are hopeless." "Guess I take after Mom. Unfortunately I don't have a talking cat to keep me on track." "Which is why it's up to me to look after you. Hold on." With that Sylvite wrapped her arms around Kodachi and the latter closed her eyes. She found the warp point and the pair vanished from the palace only to rematerialise in front of the main branch of the Crystal Tokyo library. Contrary to twentieth century expectations these institutions had not gone the way of the dodo. While it was true that its entire contents could be condensed to a few molecular encoded discs Sailor Mercury had lead the move to avoid this. She had felt that if every scrap of information in Crystal Tokyo was potentially available from home no one would bother to access it. But if you had to work for it the curious would come and some would learn to enjoy broadening their intellectual horizons. Besides which she enjoyed the ambiance of libraries and felt Crystal Tokyo wouldn't be a true utopia without them. Sylvite let go of Kodachi. "Okay the Sylvite Express has just arrived. You can open your eyes now." She noticed a tourist staring at them but the locals were already going about their business again. The citizens of Crystal Tokyo were blase about many things that would have passed for miracles anywhere else. Kodachi wasn't too surprised to find herself here. Nor to hear Sylvite say, "Okay let's forget ice cream for now and get you started. Picked a topic yet?" "Well ..." "No. Okay that's where we start. Let's go and ..." Sylvite kept chattering on as she took Kodachi's arm and lead her into the library. Not really hearing but nodding at what seemed the appropriate places Kodachi followed her friend. She was lucky Sylvite was such a good friend. Always willing to help her out. Not that she did it deliberately, she was just disorganized. Just like her own mother had been in her school days. At least that was what she tried to tell herself but part of her mind was sneering over how convenient it was to have an excuse to spend more time Sylvite. The rest was reliving the memory of their recent embrace. End of part 1 Next: A typical school morning for Sylvite and a run in with the only boy in Crystal Tokyo she can stand

Geography, Ethiopia's Ally
ACCORDING to the thesis of Signor Mussolini, Italy is obliged by stark necessity, both economic and demographic, to extend her political control over Ethiopia. In view of the strong sentiment for independence pervading this last stronghold (except for Liberia) of an independent African people, it seems certain that the Italian expansion can be achieved, if at all, only through extensive military operations against the armed forces of the Emperor Haile Selassie. The best defense of the Ethiopian people against invasion has always been the nature of the country they inhabit. Under ordinary circumstances, modern methods of warfare have vastly reduced the importance of topography and climate as military factors. But the more we study the program of a possible Italian campaign in Ethiopia the more we must be impressed by the importance of taking full account of the physical factors which will condition any large-scale action in such a remote and difficult land.
Assuming that Italy attacks Ethiopia, there are two bases from which her expeditionary forces can operate -- namely, the two East African colonies of Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. The former lies to the north of Ethiopia, on the Red Sea, the latter to the south, on the Indian Ocean just north of the Equator.
Eritrea is a vestigial remnant of the attempt to impose an Italian protectorate on Ethiopia in accordance with the Italian version of the Treaty of Uchiali which Crispi made with Menelik in 1889. It is there that during the summer of 1935 Il Duce has concentrated the bulk of the forces which he has sent to East Africa, and it is thence that the first major Italian attack may be expected to be launched. Geographically, Eritrea lacks any real unity or raison d'être. Economically, its chief value to Italy is that it controls the principal outlet for the meagre trade of Northern Ethiopia; in itself it produces very little, either agriculturally or otherwise. Militarily, it is important because it gives Italy a base of operations

Wednesday, September 22, 2010
After class today I had a dentist appointment (my first in over two years I'm ashamed to say). Well, the verdict was 3 cavities and a scolding for eating so many sweets. I looked the dentist straight in the eye and said, "I'm not giving them up! A life without sweets is no life for me!" He said he liked my honesty and surely the new toothpaste they gave (well sold) me will help.
After mama and I had a date at the tea room where I had one of my favorite meals: 1/2 veggie sandwich + Greek salad + hot jasmine green tea with lemon. Mhmmmm.
After introducing Pushing Daisies to my mama back at home I played some Bball with Carrie and Jordan!
Now I must get to my drawing homework as I happily eat ice cream and watch Pushing Daisies season 2.

The time has finally come. Marlow wants his own room, so it's finally time to 'split' Tabarlow up (it's also probably time to stop calling them Tabarlow, but I only really only do it here these days…). It actually feels really strange to me, as they have slept in the same room for pretty much their entire lives (even during their two month stint in the neonatal unit when they were born: separate incubators, side by by side. Sob. Anyway, it is the right time (lots of bickering about when to turn the light out at bedtime, just like an old married couple…), and Marlow couldn't be more excited. And take a moment to picture my face when he asked if he could have a Star Wars duvet set!!??
So of course, with the change comes a new bedroom to organise (bye bye guest bedroom/office that I never use, but is FULL of all my crap, and taking me DAYS to sort through…). In may ways it will be great because it means I no longer have to navigate the (ever trickier the older they get) whole boy/girl interior details. Marlow is definitely wanting a 'boy cave' (he's already asked whether he can shut the door!!), and that's fine. I will, of course, share some details as and when (I'm aiming to get him fully moved in by Christmas), but in the meantime it's got me thinking about what I'm going to put on the walls. I have already ordered a giant M (70cm x 100cm) from the wonderful Atelier BigJon, and I'm planning on getting this huge wall sticker, which I love), and I will just leave it at that for the time being (he's requested the bunkbeds that they already have, and his room has three windows, so very limited wall space for pictures). But I thought today I would share some prints that I love (and some that I've have always loved – they had the Apple Papple and Pirum Pirum pear prints in their room for many years. And in fact, Tabitha has requested that she has them back in her room when the time comes, so luckily (and amazingly) I haven't given them away. I also love the Rifle Paper Co (we have Paris and New York) city prints. This is a little selection of prints I like for all ages, but I guess they are a little more focussed on the baby/younger kids end of the market. Wall art is a great (and pretty inexpensive) way of really making a child's room a really gorgeous, personal, cosy space. I love to mix things up – pretty, whimsical with graphic typography, vintage with new, animal prints, monochrome, botanical…
Happy Sunday!
ps: I also rather like this star print wallpaper for a boy's room.

Cyclists stop to rest in Dickinson on cross-country ride
Folk tend to pass through Dickinson on all manner of adventure, and Leo Hauser is no exception—he and 25 others took a day to rest and recuperate in North Dakota's Western Edge on their 62-day journey across the United States, from Seattle to Boston, on bicycles.
They're almost halfway there.
"It's cheaper than psychotherapy. It's a lot cheaper than sitting on a couch," Hauser said, reclining in the lobby of the La Quinta hotel in Dickinson. He'd just gotten back from a quick ride to and from Richardton. "If a person is in just relatively good shape, you can do it. You don't have to be a superstar athlete. The big part is up here."
He tapped his temple.
"Do you have the flexibility and stamina mentally when you're out there and you're halfway into a 100-mile ride and you have a 15 mph headwind smashing into your face just to keep doing it?" he asked. "Eventually you realize, yeah, I can do this. The biggest thing that happens to me—and this is my third multi-week trip I've done—but if I just be patient, usually around five or seven days into the trip, I have this moment of Zen. All of a sudden I realize that all I have to do today is ride my bike. That's all I have to do, that's my whole job."
Hauser is from the Montana region—passing through it and into North Dakota has been a highlight for him, a chance to be reminded of the best quality of the region—the goodness of its people.
"For me personally, being raised in Montana, coming over that into North Dakota, I once again appreciated the genuineness of this part of the country, they're just good, solid people," Hauser said. "I think part of it is reflected, too, how the driving public on different parts of the ride responds to cyclists on the road."
The American driving public has been "variable" when it comes to accommodating their two-wheeled brethren on the roadways.
"We had one guy in eastern Washington who did everything but take out a weapon and raise hell about the fact that we were on his highway," Hauser recalled. "You get over here and folks will almost stop traffic, back it up and get over to give you more room than you could ever want."
For the most part people are fine on the roads, Hauser said, though he added it was always important to be mindful of traffic, particularly as their route takes them now towards major cities and urban areas.
"We try to stay out of the mainstream in terms of traffic and cities," he said. "We will be going through some major cities, Minneapolis and on to Boston ... so you have to be very aware, that's the big thing. Realize that you are the little guy in the equation."
He's riding with a large group, some riders he's familiar with and many he is not, some from as far away as England and the rest gathered from every corner of the country. Hauser remarked that it's surprising just how often you'll find familiar faces in the cycling world.
"The more you do these rides, the more you'll see the same people again and again," he said. "It's kind of a weird addiction."
Hauser found this trip through the Bicycle Adventure Club, which has a website that allows riders and ride leaders to coordinate and organize lengthy bike trips like the one Hauser is currently on. The cycling community has grown considerably as technology has made cycling safer and more accessible.
"The first long-distance bicycle ride I ever did was in 1966 and I was in the seventh grade. My parents agreed to let me go with a guy and his sons up for a seven-day, 500 mile bike ride across Montana into Canada. At that point in time there was no such thing as a helmet, you wore blue jeans, you wore long-sleeve flannel shirts, you carried a sleeping bag as big as a Volkswagon," Hauser said. "Nowadays you have GPS satellites that track you, all of our routes are on the little Garmin. You can get lost, but you got to work at it."
So what advice does Hauser have for those interested in challenging the open road on the seat of a bicycle?
"Don't wait. Just do it. The nice thing about these rides is that you may sign up for a ride that goes four weeks or six weeks—if you only want to do a week of it, do a week. Put your toe in the water," he said. "Don't be put off by the fact that you're going to be up there with Olympic athletes. No. You're going to be with people who have pasta pouches and drink beer and who want to be out there to have a great time and have fun."

If you read about my studio re-model this summer, you may already know that I have a pretty small backyard. There is not a particularly good place for a clothesline. On special occasions I have been known to tie a rope up on the supports for the roof over the patio. I had a "special occasion" on Tuesday when I washed our pillows.
FYI — I washed the pillows because I realized they needed it. (Surely I am not the only person who doesn't think to wash the bed pillows regularly.) Two of the pillows were filled with polyester and two with down. I washed them all, two at a time. I didn't have tennis balls to put in the dryer with them, so I used 2 small wooden blocks. Boy, did that make a racket! They got mostly dry in the dryer, but needed more - forcing a "special occasion" clothesline outside.
Then I realized that I should really have a permanent clothesline. It's the green thing to do. And clothes hung outside smell great! But where would I put it? Duh! I hang my clothes on hangers, on rods, to dry. I didn't need a clothes line so much as I needed a clothes pole!
I figured I could put up conduit (a pipe that electrical wires are put through) on the same patio roof supports from which I suspend my "special occasion" clotheslines. I bought two pieces of 3/4" conduit and some U-shaped hardware to hold them onto the posts. I cut the pipes to the correct length and hung the pipes myself. Honestly it wasn't hard at all. I spent less than $15 and it only took 1 1/2 hours.
You can see the clothes hanging on the pole on the far side of the patio. I put up two clothespoles, on opposite sides of the patio.
I moved the clothes to the other side to take this photo. I figure I'll want to keep our clothes out of the sun and I'll use whichever side is in the shade.
As I sat back and admired my handiwork I got to wondering why it took me so long to come up with this solution. I wish I knew! We've been in this house for 14 years!!! Dang! Then I thought, OK, blog about it. So here you go - I hope this is helpful to some of you.

(Updated Thursday, October 25, 2007 at 2:18 p.m.)
Hesperia schools will be closed Friday due to the smoke pervading the city of Hesperia.
Although the fires in the San Bernardino Mountains are still at a safe distance from Hesperia, smoke blanketed the city Thursday, permeating buildings and classrooms and filling playgrounds with yellow haze.
"There was a conversation between all 10 school districts today," said Deb Baker, executive assistant to HUSD acting superintendent Mark McKinney. "Based on the information on the [Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District] Web site, and especially on our schools on the mesa, that are facing heavy concentrations of [smoke] ... we decided to close the schools."
All 10 High Desert school districts, including Barstow, will close their doors on Friday.
"It's a health concern," said Sharon Romero, the administrator of Hesperia Christian School. "Air quality is still supposed to be bad for the next couple of days. ... It's bad inside our buildings."
Thursday, the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District urged High Desert residents to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities and predicted unhealthy air quality conditions for even healthy individuals.
Adelanto, Apple Valley, Hesperia, Lucerne Valley and Victorville residents were cautioned to avoid prolonged exertion (and individuals with respiratory disease, such as asthma, were cautioned to avoid even moderate exertion). Residents were urged to stay indoors, keep doors and windows shut and set air conditioners on the recycled air setting if possible.
The HUSD is the Victor Valley's largest single employer, and tomorrow, employees are expected to stay home for health reasons.
Sports, student activities and ROP programs are also cancelled.
"None of our employees are expected to be at work tomorrow," Baker said.
The HUSD will be calling all HUSD parents this evening with their automated Connect-ED phone system, similar to the City of Hesperia's Connect-CTY system, informing them of the closures.
The school district has already caught some flak from parents for not closing schools Thursday, but Baker said the district was operating based off the best information available to them.
"When we came in this morning ... the AQMD Web site showed the air quality for Hesperia was 'Good,'" she said. "We monitored it on an hourly basis, we even called AQMD."
For information on current air quality conditions, call 245-1661, extension 5067, or visit MDAQMD.ca.gov.

Governments should improve online public services and guarantee safe, universal access by allowing citizens to certify their identity using their mobile devices, according to a report released today.
The paper by mobile operator industry group GSMA and the Secure Identity Alliance cited Estonia as an example of where mobile identity is already in place for public services thanks to the 'Mobile-ID' service, which allows citizens to pay taxes, set up companies and apply for a driving licence using their mobile phones.
'Mobile-ID' allows people to use their phone as a form of secure electronic ID using a specialised SIM card they can order from their operator.
Near field communication (NFC) technology can be used to allow people to access public transport using the mobiles, as is already the case in Dubai, the report added.
The paper said it expects mobile voting to become increasingly common as digital initiatives across the world become more mature.
In 2011, Estonia became the first country to allow mobile voting in national parliamentary elections, with three percent of all votes that year conducted on mobiles, it added.
It also pointed to the 'Najja7ni mobile learning service' in Tunisia, a new programme which is allowing 2.5 million young people to learn maths, science, French, English and Arabic on their mobile phones, even if they have no credit. It also provides career advice and services.
The report argued "mobile operators are well positioned to provide digital identity services" thanks to their scale and reach, customer billing relationship and fraud detection capabilities.
Research commissioned by GSMA last year found that almost half of UK consumers saw mobile operators as likely providers of mobile identity services, according to the paper.
However the authors acknowledged that certain challenges need to be overcome for governments to make the most of mobile identity solutions. They said legal and regulatory clarity and certainty will be crucial to encourage industry to invest, and highlighted the importance of privacy, security and user awareness.
They added that common specifications and open standards will be vital to ensure identity solutions are interoperable and can thus be used across different services.
GSMA's head of personal data Marie Austenaa said: "Mobile digital identity reduces the risk of identity theft, and simplifies the login experience for citizens to a range of services such as healthcare, government and banking while respecting their privacy.
"With a mobile identity framework in play, governments are able to give citizens direct access to services via a mobile device and can move government services into the electronic realm. It also opens the way to for the mass adoption of a whole range of digital services, including banking, personal health and education services."

Why ? For 1200 calorie is the minimum of calories a female can set and gaze after good health. Following a 1200 calorie diet could potentially cause weight-loss to decrease or just end completely (a weight-loss plateau ), which will rob you from the primary nourishment (minerals and vitamins) to conserve a successful metabolic rate and healthier body. The reality is you can find so many weight-loss options that it may be very difficult to actually find one that meets your needs and goals. The end result's usually not successful, but that doesn't deter people from trying them anyway. The reality is you will find so many weight reduction options that it may be very hard to actually find one that meets your needs and goals. 1200 calorie diet plan
When you question a person about their 1200 Calorie Diet program, you may often hear them say which you makeup for the limiting diet program, by taking supplements everyday. Have a cheat day every 7th day. The concept of a reduced calorie diet program is to lose the body weight swiftly. Because gaining muscle may be the path to losing fat, this may use a highly detrimental effect in your body.
A 1200 calorie diet plan. This diet isn't suitable for physically active people. This means that you simply should eat more fruit and veggies and fewer junk food.
1 x cup of low-fat (1%) milk and 2 fat free low calorie cookies. There is big possibility of yo-yo effect and many types of your lost weight can keep coming back with vengeance once you depart the diet plan. The following article might assist you to definitely determine in the wedding the 500 calorie diet is most beneficial for you.
Eat a minimum of 90 grams of carbs. Food needs to be split up into 3 meals and 1-2 snacks. You should prepare to ensure that all single day you're able to consume a different amount of calories. If you stick towards the same quantity of calories each day, you'll likely maintain the identical weight. This plan may serve as a simple guideline for the people in keeping the track of their health by eating the best type of food.
I know that this plan will help you shed weight fast. 3 kg or more per week, losing together with physical activity. Pills, Eating Deprivation diets, Water diets, are all dangerous and may not be attempted even for temporary weight loss. The 1200 calorie diet is simply by far the fastest weight loss diet for women there is.
