Congestion management in the European electricity sector: Lessons from the European air transport sectorPublication Year: 2011, Page(s):2 - 7
The electricity sector and the air transport sector are two network industries of crucial pan-European importance. Driven by liberalization and the increasing usage of their networks, they are both faced with the challenge of network congestion and its efficient management at national and European scale. Given the head-start of liberalization in the air transport sector, the development of congest... View full abstract»
Congestion management in the deregulated electricity market: An assessment of locational pricing, redispatch and regulationPublication Year: 2011, Page(s):8 - 13
Cited by: Papers (5)
We analyze the fundamental differences between locational pricing and redispatch-based congestion management, followed by an assessment of their effects on grid operation and market efficiency. It is indicated that although optimal nodal pricing and congestion redispatch can provide equal results in terms of power injections, they are not equivalent in terms of short-run social welfare. Moreover, ... View full abstract»
Congestion pricing in electricity markets: Infeasibility, sub-optimality and degeneracyPublication Year: 2011, Page(s):20 - 25
Cited by: Papers (1)
Infeasible, sub-optimal and/or degenerate solutions of the economic dispatch problem cause undesirable effects on the ex-ante and ex-post market price calculations. To determine market prices, this paper explores a scheme that relies on a dual formulation of the economic dispatch problem, stated in terms of prices, i.e. prices become variables. With such a dual perspective, direct control of the p... View full abstract»

Influence of variable supply and load flexibility on Demand-Side ManagementPublication Year: 2011, Page(s):63 - 68
Cited by: Papers (10) | Patents (2)
Demand-Side Management (DSM) refers to the shaping of the electrical load to improve the fit with the supply side. One way to achieve this is to confront the user with a dynamic financial incentive to influence the demand. In previous work a crude reactive pricing algorithm has been shown to shave the peak of the aggregated load by over 25%. In this paper this approach is extended and evaluated in...

One of our big projects this year was making books. Our class wrote a fractured fairy tale and then we decided to turn the story into a play script. Next, we wanted to act it out using our script. We filmed our play using a green screen and the DoInk app to put in the backgrounds from our story. You can read our story here or watch the video!

Celeste was Angel's teddy bear that she influenced a woman in New York City to buy for her when the Flock visited AFO Schmidt.
The Angel Experiment
Shortly after the Flock first entered the store, Angel tried to get Max to buy her the bear (but did not succeed due to the price of $49). Willing to get it no matter what, however, she telepathically asked an older woman to buy it for her.
It was mentioned that she used to carry it around all the time but had stopped doing so, as she was growing up.
Celeste was a brown teddy bear dressed as an angel with a white gown, little white wings, and a gold halo. She was sometimes described to be dirty and mangy and in need of a good wash. However, in the manga, she is a white angel bear.
- Celeste cost forty-nine dollars.

I admit, this isn't exactly a sugar-free recipe. The inclusion of fairy floss kinda dispels all thoughts of a guilt-free treat. On the bright side, I don't think anyone can resist a cake so gloriously pink and perfect, and as I use much less butter and sugar than traditional cakes call for, the result is a light yet luscious celebratory dessert. My family absolutely adored this flavour combination for my mum's birthday and all noted how no one felt at all gluggy or sickly post-cake consumption. My brother can solidly contest to this theory as he had three pieces without flinching.
This cake is the ultimate girly love-fest of sugar, rose scents and juicy strawberries. Who ever you make this blush-tinted masterpiece for is going to feel pretty darn special. Treat your bestie, sister, mum, and any man who can accept a little pink into their lives. My man announced it was the best thing I've ever made. Albeit he does say they almost every time I cook... anything... everyday :)
Anyway, I adore fresh flowers on a cake, especially when the icing is coloured a dusty pink. To make things simple, I used a gluten-free butter cake mix to start off the process and used my special ingredient, Persian rose fairy-floss to flavour. You can use any 'fairy floss' you can find but the Pariya Persian fairy floss is a speciality product, although I did find it at the local grocery store. It is whispy-soft spun sugar, made in a traditional Persian method. Expert confectioners hand spin each batch of delecately sweet Pashmak into a fine weave of wool like strands that dissolve on your tastebuds. I bought mine in rose scent, but it also comes in vanilla, pistachio, chocolate and saffron.
Pink Fairy-Floss Gluten-Free Cake
- 1 packet of gluten-free butter cake mix - preferably lower sugar mix
- 2 drops of natural pink food coloring
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean extract paste
- 1/2 cup of Persian rose fairy-floss
- 50 grams of organic butter
- 1/2 cup of icing sugar
- 1 drop of natural pink coloring
- 1 teaspoon of rose water
- 1/4 cup of Persian fairy floss
- 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries, microwaved and cooled
- Prepare the cake mix as per the instructions; I used almond milk instead of dairy milk. Add the pink colouring and vanilla bean extract paste and mix well. Gently fold in the fairy-floss, leaving the fairy-floss to ripple through the mixture.
- Grease a tin thoroughly with coconut oil and cover the base with greased-proofed paper.
- Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for approximately 40 minutes or as per the instructions on the packet.
- When the cake is baked, let rest for five minutes before turning out carefully onto a wire rack to cool. When it's completely cooled, refrigerate for 30 minutes if you have the time as it will make the cake easier to ice and prevent crumbs from transferring into the icing.
- To make the icing, make sure the butter is at room temperature. Using an electric mixer, whisk the butter until smooth. Gradually sift in the icing sugar and whisk into a fluffy icing. Add in the rose water, pink food colouring and fairy floss. If the fairy floss makes the icing a little too thick, add in a tiny splash of warm water.
- Slice the cold cake horizontally in half. On the base half, spread to strawberries to coat the first layer. Sandwich the other half of the cake on top.
- Ice the whole cake to cover the sides and edges. Stick the remaining fairy floss lightly around the sides of the cake to decorate.
- Garnish the cake with whatever decoration you like. I used edible pearls and pink flowers.
- Refrigerate if the weather is warm taking out 20 minutes before serving. Otherwise, leave in a cool place until you are ready to surprise the special recipient!

CARLTON IN COVERDALE – 27 Aug 2017
CARLTON IN COVERDALE – 27 Aug 2017
My second attempt at leading this walk was much more successful than the first, back in February, when I had to cut the walk short due to driving snow, see: https://www.swaledaleoutdoorclub.org.uk/previous-trip/walking/carlton-co....
This time we had a glorious sunny day, with fine long distance views. Owing to many regulars being away in Austria, we had a small group of 8 of which only Brian Harker was on the aborted February trip.
We set off from the Carlton Village Hall car park then South-West along lanes and farm track towards Fleensop before dropping down to Gammersgill where I paused to point out an excellent example of dry stone walling (built, among others, by myself on a training course a few years ago). We then dropped down to a lovely path along the bank of the Cover where we had a coffee stop.
Instead of going through Horsehouse and so foregoing a pint at the Thwaite Arms as on my reccy, I opted to avoid the road and instead cross the river at Hindlethwaite Hall and follow field paths to Arkleside. This proved to be more of a navigational challenge than I expected, but we got there OK. We then headed up the shooting track which follows the old drove road over to Nidderdale. At this point on my reccy, a string of 4x4s passed me, and one of the drivers asked if I fancied a day's beating (as in grouse shooting). At least I think that's what he meant.
Halfway up the valley side, a bridleway heads off left and here, in a dip, sheltered from a cool breeze, we took lunch, with the feet of returning member Susan immersed – sandals and all – in the little stream at the bottom. From here the bridleway takes a 2-mile bee-line to Swineside along the flank of Hindlethwaite Moor. This is a splendid elevated flat walk on a fine day like this, with great views all round. Not so nice on a bad day – exposed and without shelter. Eventually joining the, usually quiet, lane down to West Scrafton, we had to keep stepping aside to avoid large tractor and trailers bringing loads of hay from fields for silage. Though it was interesting to stop and watch for a while the huge and complex machine used to turn and line-up the hay into rows for collection.
Through West Scrafton, then a drop to Caygill Bridge before the sting-in-the-tail for this walk: the steep final climb alongside Goodman's Gill back up to Carlton. This necessitated another energy boost for Susan in the form of another cooling foot spar in the stream at the bottom.
An excellent day, especially so in going against my usual habit of choosing miserable wet weather for my walks, capped off – of course – by an enjoyable drink in the Coverdale Community pub, the Forresters Arms.

Sworn enemies Fox News and Russell Brand are at it again, with the British comedian now accusing the hard-right US news channel of "failing to learn some of the most important lessons of history."
Not content with naming and shaming just one Fox News anchor, Brand has stepped up his attack by setting his sights on another of the station's most famous anchors.
Following an epic battle with darling of the Tea Party, Sean Hannity, Brand has responded to the latest segment of Bill O'Reilly's Fox show, The O'Reilly Factor, in which the conservative commentator suggests how America can overcome its "immigration problem."
For British readers unfamiliar with O'Reilly, he is commonly referred to as a "champion bloviator" in the American press, most known for decrying the current state of the US and all that has brought the once great nation apparently crashing to its grazed and battered knees.
Continuing "his war against human decency", Brand says, O'Reilly argues that what America is lacking is a Berlin Wall type structure to keep the wrong type of people out of the gold old US of A.
Far from being a triumph of social engineering that needs to be emulated, the comedian says, the Berlin Wall was more of a "symbol of all that's wrong with the world, the epitome of the cold war, a country driven in two - a symbol of conflict, dishonour, disdain and disintegration between the world."
Blasting O'Reilly for his desire to "repeat the horrors of history", Brand suggests that rather than focusing on America's issues with immigration, O'Reilly ought to focus on more pressing issues crippling the country's economy.
"What i'm trying to suggest Bill, and I know it's mad, is rather than studying some of the worst atrocities in history perhaps instead look at excessive corporate wealth and why don't you advocate them lot paying taxes.
"Why not Bill?" he asks. "Is it because Fox who you work for is a massive corporation and you are a conditioned citizen coveting only a message of corporate hegemony and disempowerment of the people?"
"America land of the free? Bill you are a disgrace to your flag," the comedian angrily concluded.
Brand's latest attack on Fox News follows fierce hostilities between him and another of the media giant's conservative attack dogs, Sean Hannity.
Brand made an emotional appeal for Hannity to "return to humanity," after the Fox News anchor said Israel has shown "too much restraint" over the Gaza conflict in an acerbic rant against the British comedian.
READ MORE: Sean Hannity Revealed: Fox News Anchor's Top 16 Most Terrifying Videos
Hannity and Fox news, Brand said, have trivialised one of the "worst conflicts on the planet" that has so far claimed the lives of more than 1,400 Palestinians, mainly children - while Hannity's "vitriol and propaganda" is only exacerbating the crisis.
"To them it is just a game, to them it is just entertainment, that's what I find most difficult," Brand said, in a moving video appeal.
Speaking directly to the camera, Brand gently addresses Hannity directly saying "Sean, you are a human being, come back to humanity. You've lost yourself mate."
Brand initially faced the wrath of the news anchor after blasting his aggressively pro-Israeli stance and making the observation that he looks a Ken doll.

A lecture on 'Social Networking- A Boon or Bane' was organised as part of the Golden jubilee celebrations of the fdepartment of computer engineering at Goa College of Engineering (GEC), Farmagudi.
The talk was delivered by cyber security expert and cyber crime investigator, Harold D'Costa who is the director of Pune-based Intelligent Quotient Security System.
D'Costa spoke on various types of social networking crimes and highlighted several real life incidents wherein individuals were victims of various types of cyber crimes like social engineering, cyber bullying, identity theft, phishing scams, malware attacks, objectionable content, overexposure and contact with predators.
He explained how the information like pictures, videos and comments and updates posted on social networking can be used to spread false rumors, threaten to reveal the information on the internet, blackmail and stalk the user. Harold also provided various suggestions on how to stay safe on social networking sites.

Since 2007 I started swapping my artworks for goods.
Not everyone is in the position to pay for art. But they have goods they don´t need. Perhaps they need a new phone, laptop for work, so the old one is still useful but redundant. They would sell it on ebay or other platforms or they completely forget that they have it because they dispose of it out into their garage or what ever. All these things have their values, even when they are old and used, as long they are useful. Ebay is just one example where you can check their value for a sale. For me this project is a way to discuss the relevance of artmarket and the question of supply and demand. This way it becomes a critical discussion of capitalism and the artmarket. Here is an example for how the swap works. If you are interested in a painting, you should check the size of it.

'Closing Time' (1973) was the debut; fairly conventional fare in retrospect. This song is beautifully rendered but I think that I might prefer the initial sketch... What do you reckon?
This is intended as a meeting place for folk interested in the music I make with Marcus Cliffe as Miracle Mile or my solo stuff as 'Jones'. I hope it'll be fun and might host some healthy banter; giving me a chance to share some music, video, thoughts etc. It can get a little lonely in the attic; why not slide a note under the door...

Melanie C
Melanie's solo career began shortly after the girls finished their 1998 sell out world tour. She figured that while Melanie B and Victoria had children and Emma ventured into an acting role she could pursue a solo career that she had long dreamed about. As a Spice Girl she didn't struggle to find people to work with; in fact people were desperate to work with the girls. Before she took the solo limelight she did a song with rock legend Bryan Adams- 'When Your Gone'. The song had phenomenal sales which broke world records. It was a great start for Mel, though the 'rock chick' tag stuck with her, giving people the wrong impression...
Melanie spent time writing songs, and recorded during 1999. In the summer of 1999 the fans got their first glimpse of Mel's solo work when she featured at 'V99'. She previewed her first single 'Goin' Down' and performed other album tracks; the performance went down well, though the press now deemed her 'rock' or 'raw' spice.
A song off the forthcoming album, 'Ga Ga' was
on the Big Daddy soundtrack, and had lots of air play, but just added to the
'rock spice' tag Mel had been given.

Rounding up a few more videos that caught my eye this month…
First, a TED talk. TED videos are some of my favorite. Speakers on a wide variety of topics. Usually worth watching, generally on the shorter side, interesting and thought provoking. Here's one that came out today on the legal system. Are we drowning in laws? Are we paralyzing ourselves? Do we need more green lights and less red?
Next, although still on the side of erudition, but much more in the direction of entertainment, a Keynsian Rap introduced to me by the folks over at Planet Money.
Lastly, a video of pure amusement and smiles, a clever interactive advertising project for Coca-Cola, called The Happiness Machine:

Portraying the African-American Diaspora in Modern Dance
DDT's Dorcas Mba, center, and Justin Sharlman continue a noble dance tradition.
Photo by Edward Miller
Oakland's Dimensions Dance Theater, likely the oldest African American dance troupe on the West Coast, is entering a second generation of women leaders with Tanya L. Tigner among others. They were mostly trained by company co-founder Deborah Vaughan, who had encountered Haitian and modern dance at San Francisco's recreation department, under the renowned Ruth Beckford. So today's DDT follows a noble tradition with a repertoire that is grounded in traditional African dance and yet welcomes innovation. As Dimensions is entering a new era, it fortunately looks like the company will continue the road it embarked on when Vaughan pioneered this kind of programming.
So perhaps it's appropriate for this grounded-in-community company to include in this year's fall program two pieces that look at the ongoing journey of the African-American diaspora in this country. Both works will be shown in excerpt, with the complete choreographies scheduled for Dimensions' 45th anniversary in April 2018.
Andrea V. Lee's Ain't No Turning Back is examining the noble history of Harriet Tubman who may be best known as a leader for the underground railway, but who also served as scout and spy for the Union Army. Her piece will end in a Ghanian celebration, Tubman's place of origin.
Tigner, who recently choreographed Marcus Garvey's play Black Odyssey, is examining a different kind of enslavement, one in which escape is often difficult if not impossible. We all know about the homeless—thousands of them who walk our cities at night, tens of thousands who scrounge around the landfills of the world's mega cities, and by now, hundreds of thousands who risk their lives in leaky boats and behind barbed wire to escape untenable lives. Yes, we know these ever so uncomfortable facts of life, but Tigner, in this yet unnamed piece, asks us to look beyond our own fears, misconceptions, and prejudices.
"It's the only way," she said, "to mend cultural insensitivity about homeless life."
The audience will be invited for a post-performance feedback session with the artists. Dimensions Dance Theater, Oct. 21, 8 p.m., $15-$20, Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts, 1428 Alice St., Oakland, Eventbrite.com.

That is how I did my books way back. Now that my eyes are worse. I had to stop.
I made so many lace albums over the years for my Grand-girls and my friends for Birthday gifts.
My inspiration was Marcia. She sent me an mini album in the mail and I got so excited. I spread my wings like you. And was so inspired with bling, bling and lace and beads. It was never ending.
I never did scriptures so yours are beautiful.
I did a lot of ribbons. Your work is Magnificent.

The Time We Have Taken by Steven Carroll
It is a quiet, philosophical novel played out with beautiful prose - it is also painterly , I think. You feel and see the ordinary suburban surroundings , the main characters and the people of the town very strongly.
The plot device is Progress in the suburb which is deemed to be 100 years old in 1970 and the Town luminaries celebration of the landmark occasion, however the book is about much more.
To me it seems to be about - the way people think as they go about their lives - it is philosophical and a book of the mind . By saying this I dont want to give the impression it is difficult - on the contrary but it does repay quiet , careful reading.
Time is an important theme in the novel - Time , present, past and what may come. Relationships is another important theme - dealt with sadly often, but in a particularly gentle way.
I will come back with some other thoughts but I do hope there are some comments forthcoming on this book because I think there is so much one can say about it.

I was slow getting started on this, and my early progress was slow. But although I am still not finished, I have found that it has 'grown on me'. Nothing much happens, at least in the first 200 pages or so, but the writing is beautifully lucid, and one does develop an interest in the relatively small cast of interrelated characters, who are delineated in great detail but in a convincing and unpretentious manner.
I hope to post again, slightly past 28 February, when I have finished. (Perhaps I have the excuse that February is missing the last two or three days that should be there!)

Dear John,
That overview I can well understand. Glad you have enjoyed it thus far too. The plot as such is fairly simple but the lucidity which you mention has a power . It is in some ways a very scenic book - i.e. the scenes are so clear and yet I do think the book works most strongly on the level of thought processes.
The first title in the trilogy " The Art of the engine driver" is about Vic I understand . It was shortlisted for two prizes in France in 2005 and 2006 - some have said that Carroll is a Proustian type of writer and maybe that is why the French like him. He was also shortlisted for the Miles Franklin twice befor winning it last year (along with many other awards in Australia and the Commonwealth). I am a grafted on fan now.
Re his characters - i like his approach too - I think the picture of Vic fairly early in The Time we have taken was what really got me in - an understated and totally non-condescending , warts and all, loving picture of a working class man , his dreams and his expectations. As soon as I can get a clearer go I am going to read The Engine Driver.

I have got to the end, finally! As you suggest, Faye, the work is a source of quiet enjoyment, to be savoured (a bit like poetry, perhaps) rather than read compulsively. One for the connoisseur, perhaps.
Judging by the critical apparatus (including 'Discussion Questions') it has already suffered the fate of being set for students to read as part of a course of study and discuss in class or in essays. While not begruding Carroll the revenue this will bring him, I not sure it is a good choice, at least for younger readers. It is slow, subtle, and imbued with a sense of sadness more likely to appreciated by those to whom the years have brought maturity. The sort of thing likely to convince many HSC and uni students that literature is pretty boring. (I was amused that those studying the book are told to 'Read ... The novels of Marcel Proust'. I wonder what they will do in the afternoon.)
I thought the relationship between Michael and Madelaine was dealt with well, though mainly from Michael's viewpoint. Vic is another success. I felt the portrayal of Mrs Webster captured well the faint aristocratic aloofness and sense of being a people apart that still existed among upper midlde class Anglo-Saxon Australians in 1970, though of course Carroll does penetrate behind the facade. I am not sure I was convinced by the tenuous personal relatinghsip that develops between Mrs Webster and Rita, whose metamorphosis from cleaning lady and middld-aged suburbanite to museum designer seems to me a bit unconvincing.
For me this was an interesting read, but I would stop short of declaring myself a Carroll fan.

Last night, this morning, a third cross also began a comprehensive lifting of box girder constructionLast night, this morning, a third span box beam began to full erection. EPC2 half ring section of the second ring road, Chengdu construction engineering group said that in the middle of this month, they will also lift installed and two of the three span adjacent cross, forming five-span box-girder construction complete, "show in front of the public is 150 m long section of the second ring road viaduct take shape. "
Reporters saw yesterday afternoon at the construction site, workers are on the side of the pier for final testing and preparation, preparation for the night the third span box beam hoisting. Completed two-span of box girder lifting and stand there, and looked very impressive. Chengdu construction engineering firms, according to the Party Secretary, Wang Xiang, General Manager, introduced, the second span box girder erection work, once upon a time day and night 11:40, successfully lifting to 3:10 yesterday, "compared with the first-day box beam hoisting, we save about half an hour's time. Arrangements of the Organization, and we have very much at home. "
"In the third after the installation is complete, this month we will also make two box girder erection. "Once in the middle of this month, adjacent to the complete lifting of three-span box beam two-span box girder lifting, thus forming a joint framework of the five-span viaduct more than 150 square meters in total. Second place, Chengdu TV station to the Lido junction near BRT bus rapid transit for box girder of ramp bridge of lifting, 4 across, "owing to the ramp box girders, the lifting is basically to finish all in one night. "
7-bit bridge seminar 6 programme of interchange and lift North Interchange, sheep West Interchange, shuangnan interchange, National Chiao Tung University interchange, interchange, Qingshui River Bridge on the red floor, 6 are in the second ring road overpass bridge approach will be carried out in the transformation of integral lifting construction. With construction of near, recently, II loop transformation engineering design supervision units, and Southwest National Chiao Tung University (civil engineering design limited please to money permanent, and Li yadong, and Zheng Kaifeng, and Pu Qian Hui, and Fan Wenli, and Tang Jishun, and he Wei 7 bit Southwest Jiaotong University bridge experts, on 6 seat overpass top rose design programme for special research, from professional angle analysis bridge top rose design programme of scientific, and security, let design programme more detailed, and more carefully, to guarantee bridge top rose of quality security.

"At present, 6 completed Pier capping beam construction has started. "Li Chaoping, told reporters, meanwhile, is located outside the third ring road, long Tan Si Huo Shen precast factory has completed 80 of small precast box-girder, box girder transport, lifting plan is approved, is expected to only cover you begin the box girder erection.
Wanda Plaza, level Cap box girders ready before Wanda Plaza, South River House to bridge the first capping beam had completed reinforcement, construction workers are intense and orderly close lateral mode. "Through supervision and inspection station, after detection of the owner, is expected next week will be able to enter the concrete link. "South River House to the bridge project General Manager Liao Wei told reporters that the recent good weather for the second ring road" double-fast "project construction has created very good conditions, after Pier reinforcement of some time ago, check, the section on the concrete Pier column are three area simultaneously.

text: As many of you know, a year or so ago, I had taken the simple Zoot Rocket model, and added some parts not originally there, leaving an incomplete model. I then took it to work and had a friend, Mark, color all the parts. I took the colored pages and built the rocket up for him, to call his own, reinforcing it to resist handling, and added only a few creative embellishments..i.e. the jewel side windows and the landing stems at end of fins. I gave it back to Mark for him to proudly display in his room, with a personalized plaque bearing his nick name at work. Here are the pics of him holding his rocket after having entered it in the state fair. I hope I posted this correctly, in the right place.

8 Hostages Go Free, Korea Loses It's Dignity
Thank God that the Taliban have released 8 of the remaining 19 hostages. However grateful we are, though, we should never forget that the price paid for these hostages' lives are the countless numbers of other hostages that will be taken. The lesson learned by the Taliban terrorists is simple: taking hostages works. Thus, more hostages will be taken.We pray that God's vengeance on the Taliban will be swift and in the form of bullets from the end of a Marine rifle. Breitbart:
Afghanistan's Taliban militants on Wednesday released five more South Korean hostages, raising to eight the number set free following an agreement with South Korean officials, according to a mediator. The four women and one man were handed over by elders of Ghazni to officials of the International Committee of the Red Cross outside Ghazni, capital of the province of the same name, Haji Zahir, who has been mediating between the Taliban and South Korean negotiators, told Kyodo News.Again, let us not forget that the Taliban murdered two of the hostages for the 'crime' of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, a bit of clarity from an Afghan minister. Via AllahP this AP report:
"One has to say that this release under these conditions will make our difficulties in Afghanistan even bigger," the country's commerce minister, Amin Farhang, told Germany's Bayerischer Rundfunk radio. "We fear that this decision could become a precedent. The Taliban will continue trying to take hostages to attain their aims in Afghanistan."Well, duh. In addition, it also legitimizes the Taliban. When diplomats meet with a terrorist organization, it adds legitimacy to their cause and it helps them recruit more terrorists:
"Maybe they (the Taliban) did not achieve all that they demanded, but they achieved a lot in terms of political credibility," said Mustafa Alani, director of security and terrorism studies at the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center. "The fact that the Koreans negotiated with them directly and more or less in their territory ... is in itself an achievement."People generally only fight if they believe they can win. By negotiating with the Taliban sympathizers are led to the inevitable conclusion that maybe the Taliban are a bigger threat than they thought and perhaps they have a chance of beating NATO forces. Good job Korea, all the murdered hostages, beheading victims, and dead NATO troops that will result from your capitulation thank you.

The Ocean is Dying and New Earth May be Delayed – Action Necessary!
Gaia Oracle – Deck by Toni Carmine Salerno
Namaste Blessing and Divination Cards – Deck by Toni Carmine Salerno
Oracle Card
A Hidden Gift
Ascension is eminent, and the Earth is doing her best to shift, but many parts of her may not ascend. The ocean is so sick that it's process in ascending is further behind and it comfortably should be. Gaia's life energy is much in the ocean and without it, she will need mankind to share their energy with her. Gaia has never before had to fully rely on us, but in order for the shift to take place, and without the ocean having a healthy vibration, she must ask that all beings called forward (aka "Earth Healers") at this time respond with love in their hearts. If you believe you are an Earth Healer, spend all your available time outdoors. We MUST physically touch Gaia and send massive amounts of healing white light energy into her. If you are unsure whether or not you are in Earth healer, don't let that discourage you from helping heal Gaia. She needs everyone's love and support through this time of shift. She is losing her grip on the Ascension and if the Earth Healers do not respond, she may regress back a thousand years and we will have New Earth be delayed well beyond the remainder of our lifetimes. Gaia's meridians are trying to shut down and we must open those back up for her. Crystal healing will be monumental in assisting with our healing of her meridians. Place healing intentions into crystals and place them upon her surface in trees, soils, creek beds, ponds, drainage ways, and especially the ocean. Believe that we can heal the earth and especially her waters. Water is the very essence of us all. It must be healed and released of all dark energies for the sake of the earth's vibration. I sense, still, that we may experiencing a period of sadness in the near future, but in spite of this, we must stay positive and carry with us loving and healing energy. Soon, a period of unrest is going to close itself out, followed by a new beginning. The energy of this new beginning is a higher vibration than the world has experienced in a long time! HOWEVER, earth's new beginning is not at all guaranteed at this time- without the assistance from mankind, especially the Earth Healers, Gaia may not fully be able to push through her rebirthing process. Having that said, please do not be worried or scared by this message. Please understand that this is merely a very strong warning to all of us of the consequences we will endure by not following through with our purpose right now. I think in one way or another we are all Earth healers, but there are clearly those who have a strong intimate connection with Mother Gaia. Those are the people who are truly being called forward right now and will have a monumental effect on the healing of Gaia's energy and the ocean's vibration.
At this point, I'm feeling drawn to select a card from my Namaste Blessing & Divination deck to close out this message:
The blessing of a door Closing.
"One moment nothing is happening, then everything seems to happen at once. A door soon closes, but before you know it, another opens. You walk through into a bright New Life, One in which you can be who you truly are."
Wow! Ok, so there we have it. The cards have spoken today and have made it abundantly clear what the energy is about to do and what we need to do about it!
Do not hesitate in taking action, this won't last long, we only have so much time to make a difference!
I have full faith in you all. You are each capable of amazing things and have the ability to keep us on our intended path.
Gaia asks that you each speak this out loud so we may be guided to our purpose in healing Earth:
"Please guide me to know what my purpose is. What may I do to help the Earth For the greater good of all."
Much love and light to you all!! Go forth Earth Healers and change the world!

The Irish Society for Autism recently worked with The Football Association of Ireland to create a checklist to help improve the match day experience for children with Autism.
See the article taken from their website below;
Improving match day for children with autism | Football Association of Ireland.
By working closely with the Irish Society for Autism, we have created a unique match day checklist that allows young supporters with autism to follow a structured routine and have fun doing so.
Kids with autism tend to like following routines, so this checklist gives them the opportunity to catalogue every bit of their experience from when they arrive in the Aviva Stadium until when they depart.
We have also catered for kids with autism who get uncomfortable amongst large crowds and overwhelmed by big noises by providing a corporate box for a number of families for the 'Three' International Friendly against Iceland in June – free of charge.
Over the coming months we plan on rolling out more inititatives to help make the match day experience for kids with autism as safe and enjoyable as possible.
Below is the match day checklist…

Nope, not talking about Clint Holmes' return to the Strip as a headliner after nearly 10 years. I'm talking about the new show's 10 p.m. start time.
It may not be bedtime for the 70-year-old entertainer, who looks and runs around like he's 10 years younger. But what about his audience?
Producer Ken Henderson agrees the late start might be an issue for locals, who got used to 2 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. chances to see Holmes in the Cabaret Jazz room at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts.
But Henderson and his co-producers at the Palazzo are aiming this one at tourists, and the producer points out the obvious: The late start actually gives them time to sit down and eat somewhere. Granted, this optimism is the "glass half-full" result of having to share the theater with "Baz — Star Crossed Love," but a lot of producers wouldn't even put on their game face.
Nightclubs take a lot of blame for killing a lot of the late shows. Golden-age stars such as Wayne Newton routinely performed at midnight (hence his "Midnight Idol"nickname) and sometimes even at 2:30 a.m.
But now the assumption is that younger people like to club-party and older people like to sleep. Late shows are more the province of topless cabaret or dirty stand-up comedy than a class-act entertainer with an older-skewing demo.
An added irony is that because of this, sit-down dining with tablecloths and celebrity-chef cuisine has come to be seen as another competitor to ticketed shows, not something you do in a combined evening. Producers will claim showgoers actually like to eat at 5 p.m. or hit the food court, either because they are "packing so much into their Vegas vacation," or their body clocks are on Eastern time.
I kind of shrugged and figured they must be right, even as my visits to the Del Taco drive-up multiplied while I watched the average show time scoot back from 8 p.m. to 7:30 and even to 7 p.m. or earlier.
But I also hear people in their 50s and older wish the Strip had more late-evening options which don't involve stripper poles or thumping techno music.
If you've said that lately, consider your bluff called. Let me know what you think about this Clint situation: Good idea? Or doomed to failure because "Baz" gets the early time slot? Or else just vote at the box office. …
Caesars Entertainment isn't exactly over-sharing when it comes to the fate of a historic lounge at Caesars Palace, but there are some assurances that entertainment will continue there.
Yes, British pop star turned retro crooner Matt Goss is moving on after Sept. 24, and will be replaced in some fashion. But it's not that anyone is unhappy with him or the room's entertainment format, says Jason Gastwirth, who oversees marketing and entertainment. The company, in fact, wanted to give Goss a countdown campaign and all his fans a last chance to see him.
Goss performs in a cool if technically challenging area of Cleopatra's Barge, one of the few identifiable features from the '60s-groovy era of the casino that turns 50 in August.
Gastwirth is more tight-lipped about the room's future, but says any modifications will honor the room's history if they address more practical concerns such as sightlines and sound bleed to the adjacent bar. …
If you're intrigued by long-form comedy — a single stand-up organizing an hour or so around a theme — there are a couple of new(ish) ones to choose from. Oddly enough, both riff on the self-help movement.
"Tommy Lama" is a stage persona developed by veteran New York stand-up Tommy Savitt. His afternoon show in the Tropicana's Laugh Factory is billed as "A self-help comedy satire."
And Tom Rubin has a new name, "Yes You Can't!" for his send-up of Tony Robbins-style gurus, which was delivered in the form of a PowerPoint presentation when it was called "Failure is an Option" last winter at the Sin City Theatre.
I called it a promising concept in need of more work when I reviewed it back then. Maybe there is more than a new title when it reopens Thursday at the El Cortez, a casino where the Fiesta Room was not previously known for ticketed shows.
And from the Still Glad You Called? department: I checked back with hypnotist Marc Savard this week to see if he was still eager to talk about hypnotizing Miesha Tate, after her nose-breaking first-round loss to Amanda Nunez in UFC 200 last week.
Before the fight, the longtime star of "Comedy Hypnosis" at the V Theater was happy to point out Tate's hypnotherapy session with him was the focus of a pre-fight web video.
Is he still proud of it now? Yes, because "I've gotten a bunch of calls from other fighters," he says.
And Savard is always happy to promote the therapeutic side of hypnotism as a balance to turning people into porn stars in the stage show. So, if say, the thought of public speaking triggers "organ language" in a negative way, "why would it not work in a positive way as well? It's just a lot less measurable."
As for Tate, whom he hypnotized after meeting her at an Animal Foundation calendar signing and then appeared on her podcast?
"She lost the fight at the weight cut," he says of Tate's close shave in making weight. "My (input) was all about focus and peak performance."

Coping with arthritis is a daily challenge for many people. One thing that many fail to do is seek advice and help in dealing with their pain and symptoms. Open your mind to alternative ways of thinking and allow these tips to guide you in your daily routine and incorporate that thinking into your lifestyle.
Buy accessories for your life and your home that make things easier. For example, you can purchase products that make it easier for you to open doors or take the lids off of jars. If you can increase the ease of your daily life, you'll reduce pain and stress and improve your attitude.
Changes to medications should never be undertaken without speaking to your doctor first. You may have to give your medication a little bit longer to work optimally, or it may cause problems if you abruptly stop taking it.
Avoid exercising with worn out shoes if you are living with arthritis. If the shoes are worn out, you are distributing your weight incorrectly. They'll also wreak havoc on your leg joints. Buy new exercise shoes on a regular basis, particularly when you find that the wear on the bottom of the soles is uneven.
When you have osteoarthritis, exercising your joints is an essential part of managing your condition. Experts have found that exercise helps relieve stiffness and keeps your joints more flexible. Stretching exercises along with light weight training can also improve your endurance and help you sleep more soundly, leading to less pain and a better quality of life.
If you suffer from arthritis, try not to wear clothing that is too tight against your skin. Tight clothing is just going to put more pressure on your joints, which in turn, will increase your pain. Instead, try to wear clothes that have enough room in them so that you are comfortable.
Always consider how things will affect your joints. Living with arthritis can really limit your activities, and you may find it difficult to accomplish tasks that used to be very simple for you. You should slide the items across the counters and floors instead of lifting them. You can also ask for help. Treating your inflammation is a great way to get a better range of motion from your joints and reduce the pain involved.
Get your vision checked regularly. People who suffer from arthritis are much more likely to have issues with their eyes as well. Make sure you take care of yourself by seeing an eye doctor at least yearly, in order to keep track of any developing issues that may occur with your condition.
Maintaining a healthy body weight reduces the stress placed on arthritic joints. When you are overweight, you put too much pressure on your joints, which can make arthritis symptoms worse. You don't have to starve yourself or follow any unhealthy diet plans, just know how to practice proper nutrition and your body will benefit from this by losing weight.
It is not uncommon to feel you are alone with your arthritis, however, as you can see from the previous advice, there are those who deal with this condition and can offer help in various ways. Utilize what you have learned here and seek out more tips and help that will strengthen your resolve in dealing with arthritis.

A group of twelve health care providers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and its hospital partner, the Nebraska Medical Center, are in Haiti to help with the earthquake tragedy. The group left over the weekend. Dr. Ayman El-Mohandes is the Dean of the College of Public Help and he hopes they will make a difference.
"I feel honored to be able to go to Haiti and feel that I am simply a tool for all the people who are unable to go but have contributed."
Dr. David Young is the associate professor of surgery at UNMC and he doesn't think anyone can ever be prepared for anything like this. He is very pleased with the number of people who volunteered for the trip.
"People all over the Medical Center responded with their heart and that is the best expression of who we are as professionals at UNMC."
Jessica Foulk is a nurse at The Med Center and is also making the trip.
"I know that I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of this opportunity with the first group of the Med Center. We are just hooping that we can provide some help and care to those people there in any way that they need."
The group will be gone for one week. They are joining Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Dr. Ruben Pamies, who is a native of Haiti.
The volunteers include two trauma surgeons, an orthopedic trauma surgeon, an adult anesthesiologist, a pediatric anesthesiologist and nurses with various specialties.
Planning is in the works for two additional missions to Haiti.

For Neuroticism, heritability also decreased from late adolescence to late 20s and remained stable thereafter. For all ages after the early 20s, heritability of Neuroticism was significantly higher among women. Means for the two traits were gender dependent and, apparently, influenced by cohort and time of assessment, as well as by age. Moreover, there was little evidence of new genetic contributions to individual differences after age 30; in contrast, the researchers reported the emergence of significant new environmental effects at every age.

UKIP's surge into lead rocks Tories
Cameron defies his Eurosceptics
DAVID CAMERON will refuse to make any further concessions to Eurosceptics despite UKIP surging into its first lead in the polls this weekend.
The prime minister was struggling to contain a growing Eurosceptic tide last night as he faced calls from Conservative MPs and the public to take a tougher line with Brussels to counter the UKIP threat.
Senior Tory backbenchers disclosed that they would visit Downing Street after the vote on May 22 to demand that Cameron outline much more extensive plans for the repatriation of powers from Brussels.
But Cameron will put himself on collision course with his party after privately dismissing their concerns and vowing not to give an inch — even if the Tories are humiliated in the European elections.

The best college hockey player in the country is hanging up his skates because he's tired of living a lie. Five years ago, Erik Fox's father found out about his indiscretions and forced him to change schools in the middle of the night. Erik had a boyfriend, and hockey players do not date boys.
With his college career over, Erik is determined to get his life on the right track, and that means making peace with the boy he left behind and living according to his own desires. But to do it, he must resist pressure from his father and everyone who wants to define him as nothing but a hockey player.

Sometimes books surprise you. Sometimes you see a book and think "oh that sounds interesting, maybe I will read it one day" and then you pick it up and just can't put it down. You can't figure out why it has you so entranced. It isn't a work of great literature. It isn't even one all of your friends have said "you have to read this book." It is just a book that you said "well… it might offer a couple hours of diversion." For me, Frozen Hearts by Teegan Loy is such a book.
I often think I am getting jaded with as much as I read in the genre. I know there is crap out there and sometimes I start to think it is overtaking the genre. Then I find a little gem, and I remember why I love this genre and why I do what I do. Frozen Hearts is not a new novel, it was originally published by Silver Publishing in 2013, but then mired in relative obscurity, at least for me. Something about it piqued my interest, however, when I saw it on the coming soon page on Dreamspinner Press (that is a very dangerous page, indeed).
At its core Frozen Hearts is a sweet and sexy second chance romance. If you read this blog with any regularity, you know that is a one of my hot buttons. I can't resist them even while my heart breaks for the time lost. It was even more pronounced with Frozen Hearts because the separation was through no fault of the Erik or Tyce's own. It was all orchestrated by the Erik's homophobic controlling prick of a father. Yep, this story goes there, but does so in a way that had me enthralled.
At the risk of a teeny tiny spoiler (skip this sentence if you don't want to know it), my favorite scene was when Foxy's mother stands up for him and Tyce. Erik is a bit of a mess, but Tyce makes him better. I loved the two of them together. I loved that this story was in first person, so you understood just how much of a mess Erik's father had made of Erik's life. I loved that the ending was somewhat open ended, so we could imagine what came next.
I will be reading more from Teegan Loy in the very near future.
