This is what people don't tell you about Love and relationships. How unbelievably messy they are. The other thing people don't tell you about life in general is how messy it is. If you are living life correctly, the messes and barriers to greatness never stop. There is always another layer, another battle to fight, and a demon to conquer. And all of it is hard, but the result is always worth it.
One of my biggest demons is the ability to believe I am worthy of love. The friendship niggle I defeated years ago. I am now on to romantic love, and that is way more complicated to defeat. It is insidious, as most demons are, because they know us so well. The self-talk that one tells yourself is of utmost importance, and I have failed at that for most of life. It took a lot of fantastic mentors (thanks to Maria, in particular), personal growth, and soul-searching to really beat down the naysaying niggle that was constantly in my brain.
When it came to love, and when I finally decided to own my truth of being a lesbian for the world to know; damn did that demon come out to play. Trusting another person with intimidate details of my life, and entering the weird world of online dating. Attempted to be scammed not once, but twice within a month tends to put a damper on your self-talk when it comes to dating. It makes you doubt your choices. It made me doubt whether I would ever find someone that I would let my heart love enough to trust. The scammers were amateurs and never got that far, and I know karma will bite them in the ass.
I have never in my entire life really let someone get all the way to the point where I let myself fully fall in love with another person. Subconsciously it was the scariest thing that I could let happen in my life, to be that vulnerable. To let someone fully in meant that I would have to drop most, if not all, of my many emotional barriers. I wasn't ready to do that. So I didn't. I kept any romantic interests at an emotional arms-length.
I thought I had fallen in love once when I was in college, and for that time in my immature life, I was as fully in love as I would let myself be. Which at the time was until it got hard and until it got real (I was about to graduate). We were not right for each other, and quite honestly we lasted far longer than we should have. When I ended it however, I was the definition of a frigid bitch. I was cold; I was calculated; I was mean, and I hated myself for years for how I broke it off with her. It was the right decision, but the wrong execution. I think subconsciously one of the reasons I avoided coming to terms of being a lesbian, and subsequently coming out, for so long was because of the shame I felt over how I handled the break up. I wanted to avoid a similar event at any cost. So I hid behind a wall of sarcasm, casual flings, and non-committal relationships. The desire to cover up this vulnerability flaw in myself was deep. This included hiding my own happiness and being true to myself because my priority to myself was usually the last on the list until the past five years.
The scary love I have found is thousands of miles away fighting a war in Syria for the US Army. I didn't expect it; I didn't want it, and I fought my feelings until I couldn't anymore. It is excitedly terrifying for many reasons. I was fighting my own war of unworthiness, vulnerability, and trust. I have been waging those wars for as long as there has been water in the ocean. Sometimes, one has to own your truth. Own your vulnerability. Own your passion for someone else, and put it all on the line. I don't know how it will work out. What I do know is that I deserve to know where I stand. Sometimes you have to risk failing to truly rise to the your truest self. And it will hurt every time.
UPDATE: so it turns out this one was scamming me too. And it hurts, a lot. This is the universe testing me, I guess. I am ready for it to not do that so much anymore. Love is out there, I know it. It will be glorious when I find it.

Hi everyone,
I saw a video on YouTube for a vintage FM receiver, the SAE Mark 6, which had a tuning oscilloscope as well as a digital display powered by nixie tubes (old tube alternative to LED / LCD displays).
SDR#, gqrx etc. are great all-around tools but lack the nostalgic charm of old receivers.
I am not much of a programmer, particularly outside of bash scripts and python. But for someone who is good at programming GUIs, it might be neat to build a visual interface for an RTLSDR that emulates some of the features of vintage FM receivers, like the AF/RF oscilloscope, or perhaps a "Stereo" indicator light.
("Whiff of ozone" smell optional!)

An uninspired remix that adds modern tech house touches to the original.
This makes Maceo Plex's approach, which aims to increase its impact with obvious big-room touches, a little confusing. He keeps the original bassline, which turns out to be the remix's only redeeming feature. But alongside additional strings and an early breakdown, he adds a range of dark atonal noises that blast across the mix like slaps to the face. It could be an attempt to channel the disorienting mood of the original Blade Runner score, but thanks to the placid beat and familiar strings they accompany, their impact is nowhere near Vangelis's timeless piece. Instead, they feel like imitations of producers like Stephan Bodzin and Âme, who use similar noises to a greater effect. You might argue that remixes like this accomplish their intended purpose, and are simply recontextualising old music. Even so, DJs would be better off reaching for the original, where you'll find plenty of energy without the cheap tricks.

Jesús Joaquín Fernández Sáenz de la Torre is a player who at times is as puzzling and dazzling as his flamboyant Spanish name. The attacker who we have all come to know simply as 'Suso' generates substantial debate between Milan fans.
Undoubtedly talented with a special left foot, the former Liverpool player is frustratingly inconsistent. In amongst his creative moments of magic, Suso is accused of being a peripheral figure in more games than a player with his quality should be.
Despite contributing seven goals and nine assists last season, there was a feeling that in those cagey games where Milan needed a hero or something extraordinary to claim a crucial win, Suso was absent. As the man that many look toward for inspiration on those occasions, the Rossonero Number 8 would often leave onlookers disappointed. Not all of Milan's deficiencies last term can be laid at the feet of Suso. Gennaro Gattuso's team were somewhat functional and underwhelming.
Whilst Suso's attacking numbers were certainly credible, the majority came in a hot spell of form during the first part of last term, as 11 of his combined goals and assists arrived in the opening 11 rounds, with the other five coming in the second half of the campaign. Delve a little deeper and you will see that in the 12 games where Suso's attacking interventions ended with the ball in the net, Il Diavolo only lost once, drawing twice and winning the other nine.
However, there is a counter argument here. None of Suso's goals came against an opponent in the top eight and only three of his assists came against a rival in the same top eight positions. Now it may seem unfair to expect Suso to take down Serie A's big guns, but out of Milan's 11 draws last year, six were against teams in the bottom half of the table.
Suso has been a crucial figure for Milan, but he is as infuriating as he is impressive. Some of the 25-year-old's limitations are his own, but some blame can be apportioned to how he has been deployed. It is somewhat of an understatement to say that Suso is heavily left footed and during his time in Italy he has predominantly been used as an inverted right winger.
To play that role, you need variety or isolated exceptional qualities like Arjen Robben. Suso has potential to have both. However, located on that side of the pitch makes him predictable, you know what is coming. A cut inside onto his left foot followed by a deep cross or shot and as we have seen, they come with varying success. Intelligent defensive units have shown that Suso is easy locked out of the game, so would a move away from the touchline be beneficial for him?
It is well known that new Milan boss Marco Giampaolo favours a 4-3-1-2 formation and you do not have to be an elite Coach to realise that is a system without stereotypical wide players. As a result, speculation has been rife that Milan are ready to cash in on Suso, but it appears Giampaolo has different ideas, using him as a trequartista in pre-season.
This change raises immediate questions. Primarily, is Suso capable? And is he a better option than exciting Brazilian Lucas Paqueta as a Number 10? The constant connection to play will be instantly beneficial for Suso and technically there is no doubt that the Spanish international has that attributes needed. His agility and low centre of gravity combined with his close control, dribbling ability and range of passing/shooting makes him a dangerous prospect in central areas.
It would open up the game for a new creative Suso. This blend of attributes would allow him to eliminate opponents in a number of ways, exposing defences and create the numerical superiority that his Coach demands in the final third.
Positioning, tactical discipline and energy are vital in Giampaolo's teams. Wide areas provide Suso with time and space, something he would receive less of centrally, and it is here where we perhaps start to find a few sticking points. A prerequisite for a Giampaolo playmaker is intensity and work rate. Can Suso cope with the physical and mental demands of the game as Milan's trequartista?
Perhaps the biggest doubt over Suso in this role is physically. Out of possession he must sacrifice himself and press intensely, whilst also being prepared to retreat and form part of a compact defensive midfield diamond. Dynamic movements are necessary, decisions are required to be made quickly and executed with precision under pressure. Slowing the game down is not an option, so persistently chopping the ball across onto his left foot would not be favourable.
Suso must still pass the test, but signs so far have been promising. The Cadiz-born player is proving competent and has surprised in a positive way. The Rossoneri now have a recipe for success. The emphasis will be placed on the team working in sync to get the best out of the group and the individuals within it.
In Giampaolo, Milan have the ideal man to help evolve skilful Suso and bring the best out of him on a consistent basis.

I'm in constant fascination by the heroes in most cartoons and anime. You'd normally see them face and fight a tougher, impossible enemy. When I think about it, it's just stupid sometimes - they could have just lived their lives for themselves and not be bothered. But they choose to become stronger. To have a higher purpose in life. Not just for themselves. But for others. And in doing so, they find that seemingly impossible strength or wisdom to meet the need of becoming that hero.
I always wanted to be a hero. To help those in need. I realized I started becoming one when I committed myself to trade not just for myself. But for others.

To start with this review i should mention that I loathe Revenge of the Fallen. While I enjoy Michael Baysplosion movies like Armageddon and Transformers 1, Revenge of the Fallen felt like other people described how they felt while watching Armageddon: nonsense all the way down.
Like many others I couldn't imagine how TF2 could be worse than TF1 at least i thought i would enjoy the movie as much as the first one, but after the 2.5 hour torture I would have gladly watched "Disaster Movie" again instead of Revenge of the Fallen. During the movie i started mentally collecting notes for future faneditors where to trim but after a while I gave up. I will keep on looking for a Transformers 2 fanedit that might make me watch the movie, enjoying the effects without being constantly annoyed – sadly this edit is not drastic enough to achieve this.
While some fat has been trimmed there is still the huge amount of robots farting explosions and parachutes, Wheelie humping Megan Fox's leg, annoying one-liners and everything I can't stand about TF2. Not to mention that every seconds the Offenso-Bot Twins are onscreen it is tough to listen/watch plus the whole story made less sense than transporting a cube into a megacity to bring it to a military helicopter in the first place, so my cudos to everyone who can squeeze some sense in it.
Enjoyment: 1/10 – the experience sadly didn't change
Technical Aspects 10/10
the cuts are not noticeable etc. the faneditor did a great job on the technical aspects especially when it comes to:
Video Quality: well… watching fanedits in Bluray is pretty amazing and this is the main scoring point of this edit – damn it looks way better than a normal fanedit, the file is HUUUUGE (20 gig) and I'm curious how long it will take for fanedits to go full bluray (but if i remember correctly there was a HD fanedit mashup of Superman and Batman, so technically this is the second HD fanedit :D ) but currently I don't know if it will be a standard. The fanediting world can sometimes be very unpredictable and the greatest premise might become a movie you won't watch again. Or you read through the cutlist, thinking how amazing this will be but the final product is interesting, but overall "meh"
but i can see a Bluray Fanedit future for fanedit jewels like "Revisited" (which Adywan already confirmed to be in HD or other fanedits that are great and so popular that the faneditor might go back a second time to give us the same great experience but this time HD (looking at Jorge for Dark Knight Revisited in Bluray ;) )
so this makes an overall 5.5

[Return to Top]
Sterling's visitors try to seduce his daughter Fanny, who is secretly married to the impoverished but kindly Lovewell.
Gains the audience's favour; elevated by Shakespearean intertextuality.
Act I.
Betty rushes in to tell Fanny that her husband, Mr. Lovewell, has returned. Fanny begs Betty to keep her secret: no one knows that she is married to Lovewell. Betty jokes that if Lovewell doesn't inform Fanny's family, a 'little tell-tale' will appear soon enough. Betty leaves as Lovewell enters. Fanny urges Lovewell to disclose their marriage immediately; he says he will within a few days, but that he does not want to interrupt Fanny's sister's marriage to Sir John Melville. Fanny says that she has good reasons for wanting the marriage to be disclosed, but does not share these reasons with Lovewell. She reminds him of how much worse things would be if the marriage were to be revealed by a third party. Lovewell wishes to wait so that he can use Lord Ogleby, his rich uncle, to smooth the process over, as Fanny's father objects to his poverty. As he exits, Sterling, Fanny's father, enters, joking about Lovewell's apparent flirtation with Fanny. Lovewell jestingly asks for Fanny's hand, but Sterling laughs the proposal off, saying that "There's no Stuff in the case, no money, Lovewell!" More seriously, Sterling tries to make Lovewell promise not to marry Fanny without his consent; already married, Lovewell promises not to let the matter go any further. Letters arrive announcing the visit of Sir John and Lord Ogleby. Fanny's older sister Miss Sterling shows off her trousseau, and contrasts Sir John's glamorous town life with what she perceives as Fanny's inevitable marriage to her destitute lover. Their aunt Mrs. Heidelberg enters, and announces Ogleby and Sir John's arrival. She comments on Fanny's pale and wan looks and her loose-waisted dress. Fanny leaves in tears. Miss Sterling comments that Sir John seems to be cold-hearted towards her, preferring Fanny. Canton, a Swiss valet, enters. Lord Sterling takes his guests on a night-time walk.
Act II.
Brush, Lord Ogleby's valet, and a chambermaid drink hot chocolate together in a dressing-room. The chambermaid is terrified that they will be interrupted, but Brush assures her that the decrepit Lord Ogleby is safely put to sleep with a draught. Brush confides to the chambermaid that Miss Fanny is considered much more affable than her haughty elder sister. The chambermaid leaves quickly as Canton enters. Lord Ogleby returns in pain from his walk down to the canal with Lord Sterling. Canton urges Lord Ogleby to purchase cosmetics, to the latter's disgust. He reflects on the family into which he is to marry, stating that they will never escape the taint of Blackfriars. The next morning, Ogleby feels revived because of the pretty girls in his midst. Sterling, Lovewell and Sir John enter; the old men banter. The young men quickly excuse themselves to speak privately in the garden. Sterling and Ogleby go to eat breakfast. Sir John tells Lovewell that he knows Lovewell was not in his room at five in the morning; which maid was he with? Sir John begins to confide something to Lovewell, but they are interrupted by Ogleby and Sterling's party, which is discussing improvements to the manor house. Ogleby flirts nauseatingly with all the women. The young ladies give Ogleby nosegays. The party goes to look at the estate's manufactured ruins. Sir John and Lovewell resume their conversation. Sir John confesses that he cannot marry Miss Sterling because he loves Fanny. Lovewell frantically tries to convince him that it is too late to rescind his proposal to the elder sister. Sir John has already confessed his love to Fanny, who blushed and cried (apparently a good sign). Sir John tries to give Lovewell a letter to give to Fanny. Fanny approaches and Sir John runs to her. The devastated Lovewell exits. Sir John entreats Fanny to accept his affection, but she refuses in horror. Miss Sterling enters to see Sir John prostrated at Fanny's feet. He exits quickly, and Miss Sterling turns on Fanny, accusing her of hiding her deceitful nature beneath her soft exterior. Alone, Fanny laments about how her family will turn against her when they learn of her marriage to Lovewell.
Act III.
Serjeant Flower, a soldier, and Counsellors Traverse and Trueman, two lawyers, enter. The latter two discuss their many cases in legal language. Sterling alters his will to ensure that his property passes to Miss Sterling and her heirs. Sir John enters and confesses to Sterling that he will be unable to go through with marriage to Miss Sterling, and would prefer to court Fanny. To convince Sterling to accept this change of plan, Sir John reduces the dowry from 80,000l. to 50,000l. The miserly Sterling acquiesces, but Sir John must first consult Mrs. Heidelberg for permission. Miss Sterling and Mrs. Heidelberg have a tête-à-tête to discuss Fanny's supposed treachery in seducing Miss Sterling's confirmed lover. Mrs. Heidelberg vows that Miss Sterling will be Lady Melville. Sir John entreats Mrs. Heidelberg to permit the marriage to Fanny, but she is insulted that he has not consulted her first, and is outraged that he would be so fickle. She leaves in a huff. Sterling tells Sir John that he is powerless to do anything because he expects to receive a great deal of money from Mrs. Heidelberg at her death. Sir John plans to entreat Lord Ogleby into pleading his cause.
Act IV.
Miss Sterling and Mrs. Heidelberg plan to send Fanny to town immediately. Lord Ogleby and Canton walk in the garden; if Fanny is to leave, Lord Ogleby intends to depart also: he had rather "the whole family be annihilated" than lose Fanny's company. Lovewell convinces Fanny that she must reveal the marriage to Lord Ogleby, who will undoubtedly take her part. Fanny tells Lord Ogleby that she has been distressed by Sir John's proposal; the vain listener thinks she is in love with him. Canton interrupts, and Lord Ogleby is left believing that Fanny has confessed her love to him. Realizing there has been a mistake, she bursts into tears and departs. Miss Sterling enters to appeal to Lord Ogleby to let her marriage to Sir John take place. Lord Ogleby tells Sterling that he plans to marry Fanny and that she has agreed; Sterling is pleased because of Lord Ogleby's high rank. Lovewell enters to speak with Lord Ogleby; both men mistake one another, Lovewell believing that Ogleby will back his secret marriage, and Ogleby thinking that Lovewell is congratulating him on his choice. Lord Ogleby reveals that he plans to marry Fanny; Lovewell is upset, but conceals it as Sir John arrives to ask for Ogleby's help in courting Fanny.
Act V.
Lovewell and Fanny meet in Fanny's apartment. Betty waits outside the chamber door in case anyone approaches. Lovewell vows to remain with Fanny even if they are cast off by both families. Betty enters, thinking she has heard a noise, but no one is in sight. Lovewell departs. Miss Sterling has been listening at the door, and believes Sir John to be in the room with Fanny. She pretends to burst into tears as she tells this to Mrs. Heidelberg. They hide as Brush and the frightened chambermaid enter. When Brush jokingly suggests he will ravish Mrs. Heidelberg if the chambermaid does not acquiesce to his desires, the infuriated lady emerges from the shadows and berates him. Betty is caught by Mrs. Heidelberg and Miss Sterling, who demand an explanation for the evening's events; she refuses to explain. Mrs. Heidelberg and Miss Sterling bring Betty to Sterling, who says he will make Sir John marry Fanny in the morning. The noise brings Lord Ogleby, the visiting lawyers, and Sir John into the room; everyone is amazed at the latter's presence, as he is supposed to be in the chamber with Fanny. Fanny emerges and faints away in distress. Hearing the clamour outside, Lovewell rushes from the chamber and confesses his love, to everyone's astonishment. After learning that they have been married for four months, Sterling casts them out, but the magnanimous Ogleby offers them a home with him. Faced with this act of generosity, Sterling and Mrs. Heidelberg are compelled to make amends, while Sir John denies any further affection for Fanny and apologizes for his involvement.

"His closest friend among them was George Colman, with whom he collaborated in The Clandestine Marriage (1766), one of the best eighteenth-century comedies, though the two were briefly estranged in 1767, when Colman bought into a share of the management of Covent Garden, the rival playhouse."

"The Clandestine Marriage is, in its primary direction, more akin to The Conscious Lovers than to The Way of the World. It is sentimental (perhaps only good natured) in the conception of its main characters. The danger the plot puts them in is not the result of any serious flaw or limitation in their psychological or moral makeup. It stems rather from the likelihood of misunderstanding and hostile reaction from the people surrounding them, who operate on a standard that is far less delicate and ethical than theirs. These characters tend to speak in sentiments (especially Lovewell), but the sentiments are not hypocritical and do represent both the standard by which they reason ethically and that by which they act."

"It seems ironic that Colman, whose earlier plays generally eschewed or openly mocked the literature and culture of sensibility, should be praised by his contemporaries for the sentimental content of The Clandestine Marriage , a full-length mainpiece co-written with Garrick and inspired by the first of six plates in William Hogarth's Marriage à la Mode, depicting a marriage brokerage between wealthy parties. Begun before Garrick's departure in 1763, the comedy could not be completed before his return to London, April 1765, and did not open until 20 February 1766. The self-serving lawyers introduced in act 3 (who serve to distance Colman further from his former vocation), the addition of Fanny's pregnancy ("a little tell-tale") to the title's secret union, and the comic range of the amorous though generous Lord Ogleby all contributed to the immediate popularity of the play-traditionally considered Colman's best--performed nineteen times that spring. Colman was forced to make another recuperative journey to Paris later that year, accompanied by Sarah and Harriet, while young George remained behind at North-umberland House, the playwright's new villa."

Varieties & Dialects
Overview of varieties / dialects
A Swiss valet speaks Franglais and lawyers use legal jargon. Mrs Heidelberg's non-standard pronunciation and grammar (monstrous wulgar!) undermines her social pretension; contrasts with the standard language of her "city" brother Mr Sterling (whom Lord Ogle nevertheless regards as vulgar and permanently tainted by his birthplace of Blackfriars and connection with canals) and with the non-standard unpretentious language of the chambermaid.Varieties / dialects

I was an avid reader in middle school and high school. I remember in seventh grade how my Language Arts teacher, Mr. Hutchinson, assigned reading sheets to us students for documenting how many pages we read every day. Each time we started a new book, we were required to start a new sheet. Long story short, the biggest pile had my name proudly on it. More than once, he handed me the pile of reading logs and told me to sort it because he knew I would claim the vast majority of it. I was very proud of my pile and enjoyed talking to him about what I was currently reading.
Mr. Hutchinson warned me that when I continued on to high school and college, I would not have as much time to read as I had then enjoyed. I thought he was joking.
But he was right.
I still made time in high school to read for fun, but now that I am in college, it is more difficult to carve out a space of time and declare it reading time. Yes, it is proven that devoting some time to reading for pleasure helps with the upkeep of mental health. Sadly for me, I don't devote enough time to it. So far, I'm still sane. At least, from what I can judge, the duct tape holding my mind together is still holding true. The real contest of that will be at the end of this college semester.
Currently, I have Roseblood by A. G. Howard on my bedside with the intent to read it. After two weeks, I am on page twenty-six. In middle school, I would have finished long ago. More than likely, this will be my book for spring break. From what the point I reached in Roseblood, I am enjoying the fact that the main character, who is a young teenager, knits for fun, like me! As soon as she whipped out knitting needles, I inwardly shrieked YES! When I finally sit down and read this book, I'll be super pumped. I've been stalking this book for awhile now, because A.G. Howard has a fantastic grasp of voice and does a phenomenal job of world building. I loved her rendition of Alice in Wonderland called Splintered. If you haven't read it yet, go do so now. The world she creates is dark, whimsical, and will kidnap you from the first chapter. Roseblood is A. G. Howard's revamping of The Phantom of the Opera, which is my favorite play, so I'm excited to soon fall into the story. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
Now a book that has actually inspired me is a toss up of my favorite books from middle school. In sixth grade, I read Inkheart by Cornelia Funke in a day. To be fair, I was homesick when I read it and needed to distract my fever stricken brain somehow. I did so by reading Inkheart. On the off chance you have not read the book or seen the movie starring Brendan Fraser, the book is about a man who repairs books and his young daughter, Meggie. Both are the definition of a bookworm. However, they run into troubles when Meggie finds out her father can literally read characters out of their story books. These characters chase the two down as they try to grapple with the consequences of liberating stories' voices from their books' bindings. It's a longer book, but I've worn my copy down. Whenever I need a pick me up, I'll return to this story.
Another book that stands out in my mind for inspiration is called Fablehaven by Brandon Mull. I read this over the summer into sixth grade and thoroughly enjoyed it. This novel follows the story of Kendra and Seth as they spend a summer with their estranged grandparents. Originally, they resign themselves to a boring summer, but that changes when they discover that their grandparents are really the caretakers of fairy tale creatures. The story follows them through this new fantastical world that is hidden on the grounds of their family's estate. Again, my copy is well worn and beginning to be held together with scotch-tape. I loved this book series so much that I read a chapter or so from the books to my little sister almost every night. She goes back and borrows them from my bookshelf too now that she's older and doesn't want me reading to her as much.
Many other books and series captured my attention. For instance, I devoured the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Mortal Instruments, Harry Potter, Splintered, Beautiful Creatures, Spiderwick Chronicles, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, The Iron Fey, and many more. The two books I focused on are my more worn copies that I have returned to time and time again for nostalgia and comfort. I'm sure I'm going to fall in love with many more books over my lifetime. The trick will be making time for reading again. As the famous saying goes, "So many books, so little time." And yes, I have a t-shirt with that saying too.

The Evolution Of Architectural Form And The Formulation Of Mechanics
Free (open access)

Paper DOI
WIT Press
B. P. Leftheris
From the beginning of civilization humans built structures, initially for shelter in established communities and later structures of worship. The materials available and the cumulative empirical knowledge of successive generations of masons determined the architectural form of the structures. Throughout human history there are many examples of such structures. Mathematics, initially geometry, was the next step in the ability of the architect to materialize his ideas. Later, mathematical analysis brought together the strength of materials and the geometrical distribution of mass to build greater and safer structures. Finally, in today's immense computerized capabilities, the human imagination and new materials can only limit the architectural form. This paper describes the side by side evolution of architectural form and the formulation of mechanics from the early days of civilization to the present day achievement of high rise towers. Keywords: architectural evolution, structural mechanics, historical buildings, civil engineering. 1 Introduction The significance of the theory of relativity that Einstein announced in 1905, lied not only in the tremendous technological changes it brought in the following hundred years, but also in the audacity of man to challenge existing knowledge. 'Time' was no longer measured in absolute terms. And while it did not affect ordinary people, it made a world of difference in physics and space exploration in later years. Architecture on the other hand is based on building technology, which is conservative, based on cumulative knowledge from the beginning of human life.

Review Detail
Arizona 29193
RVers are not their target demographic
Overall rating
Total Experience
RV Parking Area
This place is just ok. RVs and trucks must park in a specific area which is paved, level, and well-lit. Spaces are marked and very narrow which is routine for truckers but RVers will find this to be close (very close) and uncomfortable especially if you are next to a truck idling all night. The casino is clean, very well-ventilated, one of the few that we've not left the building reeking of smoke. There is no buffet but we had two good meals: one in the food court, the other in one of the restaurants. Food service staff seem a bit bumbling and unsure of themselves. My conclusion: Management pictures this as an upscale place that merely tolerates RVs and trucks. Next time in the Phoenix area we will probably try the Talking Stick or another casino.

Know what the first thing I always ask my kids is after they have been to a friend's place for a sleepover?
"What did you eat there?'
Is that strange? Or am I not alone in being a nosey parker? Don't you wonder what people serve up for dinner in their homes, even if it is only for their kids' friends? It fascinates me. Truly it does.
I think my over-interest all stems from several years ago, when Boy 1's best friend used to come over a lot….. and he never touched anything I served. I kid you not! He would just say , "Oh, I am really too full. Sorry." OR he would take whatever I served him, and then later I would find his fully untouched meal congealed on the plate in a corner somewhere. Then, the little wretch would sneak down to the corner store and buy coke and chips to sustain him till he got back to his own home and the food to which he was accustomed. Poor Boy 1 never 'fessed up to this, because he thought I would be devastated. I certainly wanted to know what it was I was getting wrong! So when Boy 1would go to this child's house, I would always ask what he ate there. What were they eating that was so different?
Pancakes and bacon? Really? OK, let's try that; again! I would carefully make delicate fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon for breakfast for our visitor, but still he wouldn't eat it. Turns out I discovered later, he was used to the shake-it bottle pancakes, which are quite a bit sweeter than homemade…..but still it left me feeling like a sleepover failure!
Back to the here and now: I still make my poor kids spell out every meal they had, blow by blow before even enquiring if they had a great time away. Some of the regular fare they tell me about is hot chips, McDonalds, chicken nuggets, stir fry, takeaway pizza, sausages and veggies……. and now that we live in posh Canberra, sometimes they have been taken out for dinner!!!!!
Over time, I have
worked out the easiest and cheapest food to impress honed sleepover cuisine into a fine art, weeded out the duds, and kept whatever has been raved over.
What do we serve our sleepover victims?
Well, traditionally I chuck a 'Make your own pizza' night. While the bread maker makes the dough (I use this pizza dough recipe), I chop up the general range of kid friendly ingredients (shredded bacon, mozzarella, LOTS of pineapple, chorizo sausage (Primo brand), Italian sausage, cabanossi ( again Primo), mushrooms (I usually eat these as no one in our family will go near them), sliced red onion, and green capsicum) Then I set them out buffet style. There is no-one on God's green earth who doesn't enjoy creating their own pizza.
Here is how it goes down for my kids, toppings-wise:
Boy 1 does a massive Meatlover's with BBQ sauce and all the meat and some cheese, onion and a little capsicum.
Boy 2 makes a calzone- which I can't really tell you is inside as it is not visible !
Boy 3 loves, loves, loves to make his own pizza. He smears the tomato sauce on, then some cheese and finally a generous topping of pineapple pieces !
My other sleepover staples are:
Breakfast: Pancakes (duh!) or homemade bacon and egg (mc) muffins.
Lunch: chicken schnitzel burger or a regular burger to get some veggies into them.
Movie Snacks: large batch of choc chips cookies, large batch of brownies, homemade caramel popcorn, and of course chocolate. Just to totally negate the veggies!
What do you cook for sleepover food? I'd love to know.
PS. Flatatta- a lesson learned
I loved the picture I saw of the Frittata Bites with Spinach, Sausage, and Feta

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion to skillet and sauté until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add sausage and sauté until brown and cooked through, breaking up with fork, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
Whisk eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in large bowl to blend. Add chard and cooled sausage mixture, then feta; stir to blend. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish.
Bake frittata until set in center, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer baking dish to rack and cool frittata 15 to 20 minutes. Place platter atop dish with frittata.

In my previous post I had mentioned a few random thoughts popping up in the mind of a slow runner. Incase you have missed it then you can read it here Tortoise in running shoes
I have observed that many runners feel that running at a slow pace is a waste of time. Running can be a simple, beneficial exercise for many people. Slow or fast, you'll still reap loads of benefits and if you are slow, you are certainly not alone. So before you change your mind and throw away your running shoes just consider that slow running can also be beneficial. Continue reading

Though I prepare most meals at home, I eat out two or three times a week.
Annis and I met for breakfast at La Posada Corazón, a beautiful B&B in a spacious Mexican house near the center of San Miguel. The guest rooms and dining room are surrounded by gardens, fountains, and leafy trees. Breakfast is a la casera (home cooked) with organic produce from the inn's garden. Delicioso!
I met friends at Azotea, a rooftop restaurant just off of the main square. We ate dinner and watched the sunset. Rose and Cathy ordered jicama and shrimp tacos. Tissue thin slices of jicama instead of a tortilla shell. They rave about them. I had an excellent vegetarian pizza and learned that Mexicans use salsa inglesa (Worcestershire sauce) on their pizza, as well as red pepper flakes and assorted hot sauces.
Helado Michoacana is around the corner from my apartment. That's dangerous. Two scoops of ice cream cost 10 pesos. I've tried chocolate, capuccino, and pistache.
The Movie Pocket Theater is a cozy art-house cinema complete with a bar and a spacious lounge area. The theater screens Academy nominated films and award winning foreign films and documentaries. A hundred pesos buys a drink, a bag of popcorn, a comfortable lounge seat, and a movie. Can't beat it. I saw Philomena and Nebraska. I may get to see all of the Oscar nominated films before March 2.
As I wander the streets of this enchanted city—with or without camera—trompe-l'œil curiosities catch my attention as if checking that I'm paying attention. A tangle of wires converges overhead on a utility pole. A pool of water in the street reflects the brilliant colors of buildings. Weathered doors with ornate hardware. A skinny young photographer dressed in black photographs a dreamy-eyed, pudgy couple posing on the steps of the Parroquia. Framed by the doorway of a bar, a well-dressed old man stares at an unseen television. In a antique shop window, La Virgen de Guadalupe watches over an old Coca-Cola ice chest.
Annis left for home at 4:00 a.m. Thursday morning. I miss her.

For some reason, I created another Instagram account
With the exception of this blog, I'm generally not much into social media. I've had Facebook and Twitter accounts in the past, but I deleted them years ago. Honestly, I can't say I miss them. On the contrary, every time a family member tells me about some drama unfolding on Facebook, I'm genuinely happy to be ignorant of it. For its part, Twitter has been a cesspool of anger for most of the past decade.
Even though I'd otherwise nearly eliminated my social media footprint, I'd hung on to my Instagram account a lot longer. Living up to its reputation as "Twitter for illiterates," Instagram is so unashamedly superficial it was hard to find any fault with it. People post photos. You either like them or follow them or you keep looking. No drama.
Instagram posed a different problem, at least for me. After a while, the likes and follows become drugs. Once I'd had the taste of a disproportionate number of strangers "liking" my latest photo, I wanted more. I found myself spending ever-increasing amounts of time creating new combinations of hashtags to get the greatest number of likes for a post. I obsessed over which accounts had followed and then unfollowed me and started developing systems to counterstrike with unfollows of my own.
When I looked in the mirror, I didn't like what I saw. I had become Gollum in search of the Precious. It was time to pull the plug. That was about a year ago.
(Based on my observations of other Instagram users — men and women alike — the next step in the quest for a greater Instagram high is to post selfies in various states of undress. In light of this, I think we can all be grateful I didn't hit rock bottom.)
However, after deleting my Instagram account, I found myself missing the posts of my immediate family. My wife in particular, who posts amazing photos from time to time, and my parents too. So, after careful consideration, I created a new Instagram account two weeks ago. Since no one had snatched my account name, I was even able to reuse it.
This time, I'll try to enjoy Instagram responsibly. If you have an Instagram account, I invite you to follow me.

Love In Action
Contributed by Kevin L. Jones on Jan 18, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: A sermon examining the importance of showing the love of Christ to others
Love In Action
On June 17th a young man entered the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston South Carolina, sat down and attended the prayer service. After about an hour of meeting with these people 21 year old Dylan Roof pulled out a .45 caliber Pistol and shot 9 church members multiple times. The next day Roof was apprehended and arrested in Shelby North Carolina. Relatives of those who were killed told suspect Dylan Roof during an initial court appearance that they forgave him. These people forgave someone who took the lives of their mothers, fathers, siblings and children. This may seem like an impossible task, but it is possible with God! The natural response would be to seek revenge. But the members of that church illustrate how to show the love of Jesus in the most difficult of times. Those people do not just attend church, they show us how to BE THE CHURCH!
Being the church is not just following Jesus in "doctrine" or "belief"...It is following Him out into the streets, among the people, mingling with them and loving them where they are.In Matthew 22:37 Jesus said ...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Here in Luke Chapter 10, Jesus tells us how to love our neighbor. What Jesus describes in this discourse is "Love In Action". I would like to look at "the Parable of the Good Samaritan" and preach on that thought... "Love In Action
Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
After Jesus described how we should treat our neighbor, a "teacher of the Law" asked Him "who is my neighbor?" Jesus responded with a parable that illustrates who are neighbors are. Lets walk through these verses and see what Jesus has to say about "Love In Action". Jesus begins by describing:
I. THE AGONY OUTSIDE THE CHURCH v30
- When you walk out those doors, you don't have to look very hard to see that:
A. PEOPLE ARE HURTING - That is exactly what the Good Samaritan found - v30 ...A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed,
As this man travels... an adversary attacks him, steals his possessions, stripped him of his clothes, wounded him and left him for dead. This man was in bad shape! We encounter people on a daily basis in similar situations!
a) There are people in our town who are homeless. - Can you imagine not having a place to lay your head at night. No refuge from the heat in the summer or the cold in the winter. Not knowing where your next meal is coming from.
b) Many People are addicted to alcohol. - They are consumed with the desire to take just one more drink. Their lives revolve around the bottle. And their choices have cost them their jobs, their health and their families.
c) Some are addicted to drugs. - Marijuana, prescription pills, Heroin, cocaine and crystal meth have ruined the lives of many people and they are hurting.
d) There are many women who are pregnant and they don't know how they will raise a child.
e) Many have been diagnosed with serious ...even terminal diseases. - Because of their sickness they cannot work. They have medical bills that they cannot pay. They have families that they cannot feed or clothe.
f) Some people are in abusive relationships and they don't know how to get out. - There are many other issues that people are facing as we speak. But some have an even greater problem... Worse than physical sickness, financial despair and chemical addiction is the fact that these people are lost and on their way to hell!!
- There is no doubt that people are hurting...Not only are People Hurting:
B. PEOPLE ARE HELPLESS - leaving him half dead. - This man was beaten to the point that he was almost dead. There was nothing he could do for himself. He was truly helpless! Just as we regularly encounter people who are hurting we also encounter some who are helpless. The Bible teaches that God uses us to help those who cannot help themselves!

As a freshman, Ronnie Schneider is experiencing college tennis for the first time, but he faced a familiar opponent to the North Carolina tennis team.
In the finals of the qualifying round of the ITA Men's All-American Championships, Schneider defeated Memphis' Johnny Grimal to move on to the tournament's main draw.
Last season, junior Esben Hess-Olesen— who received an automatic bid in the main draw — defeated Grimal in the same round.
Schneider's 6-3, 6-2 victory improved his record to 7-0 in the fall season.
"He has a great work ethic, so he is doing everything he can consistently to be the best player he can possibly be," coach Sam Paul said. "I'm certainly happy for him to make the main draw but looking forward to seeing how he competes in the main draw."

My favourite Easter present from last year wasn't a chocolate creation – it was a gift made by my youngest nephew a bunny fridge magnet.
You can buy the magnetic paper sheets from most craft type stores or Amazon have a good range, including those that you can run through your inkjet printer at home.
Its a great idea to make very personalised gifts and mine has pride of place on the fridge at home.

More than 139,000 of those are active, pumping vast amounts of CO2 into the oceans
Lava contains a surprising amount of carbon dioxide, says consulting geologist Timothy Casey. In fact, CO2 is the second most abundantly emitted volcanic gas next to steam.
Carbon dioxide emissions from volcanoes – especially from underwater volcanoes – dwarf anthropogenic (man-made) contributions sources, says Casey.
Since seawater in the vicinity of hydrothermal vent systems is saturated with carbon dioxide, and since seawater elsewhere is not saturated with CO2, it stands to reason that this saturation came from the hydrothermal vent system, Casey argues.
In point of fact, says Casey, carbon dioxide escapes these hydrothermal vent systems in such quantities that it sometimes accumulates in submarine lakes of liquid carbon dioxide. There is nothing to prevent that superheated carbon dioxide from dissolving into the seawater or otherwise making its way to the surface.
As part of his argument, Casey points to a study by Hillier and Watts. After surveying 201,055 submarine volcanoes, they estimated that a total of 3,477,403 submarine volcanoes exist worldwide.
Of those 3,477,403 underwater volcanoes, Casey estimates that 139,096 are active.
More than 139,000 ACTIVE underwater volcanoes. No wonder CO2 levels are rising.
See Casey's entire paper "Volcanic Carbon Dioxide."

text: Getting to know...Connor Ward We caught up with one of our content creators, Connor, who was diagnosed with autism at 18 years old. He's been sharing his experiences on his YouTube channel since 2016 and has worked with us on numerous campaigns, like Too Much Information. Below, Connor shares the positive shopping experience he had in Primark, and why other retailers should take note. Why is Autism Hour important to you? It means a lot more to me than simply just adapting the shopping experience. I think it's a great representation of how the world is realising that simple changes can make a massive difference to many people. What is a shopping experience like for you? I normally try to shop online first to just avoid shopping all together. If I do actually have to go in, I make sure I go about 10/11 am when the shops are less busy. That only helps the crowds though, it's often a very uncomfortable experience sensory wise, bright lights, loud music, horrible really! Have you ever experienced a time when a member of staff/shop has made an effort to be understanding of autism or a sensory issue? Yes! In Primark the other week actually. I was really struggling and knew I wouldn't be able to face the mile long queue at the checkout so they alerted me to the fact that they actually have an access till. That means you just go straight up and get seen to instantly! What could shops do to make the experience better for you? Mirroring Primark's system would be great. I was recently in H&M and there was a queue of about 30 people. My friend tried explaining that I wasn't going to be able to do it because I'm autistic and they had no clue how to act upon it. I had to go through that queue, there were even tears at one point, it would have been great if they were able to accommodate. Also please just get rid of club music in shops. If I wanted to listen to club music I'd go to a nightclub, it makes me incredibly anxious having a thudding noise constantly going while I'm simply trying to shop.

"There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness" (Gandhi)
Fashion Revolution Day occurs annually on the anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster, the collapse of a sweatshop complex in Bangladesh that killed over 1100 garment workers on April 24, 2013. Why do we need a revolution? If you look at the lifecycle of a typical piece of clothing, you'll find (in Gandhi's words above) "hunger and unhappiness" at every stage:
- Raw materials: Most cotton farming is an environmental nightmare, and the most widely used cotton alternatives are synthetics, a product of the petroleum chemical industry.
- Fabric manufacturing: Textile dyeing and other processing is another major source of pollution.
- Apparel manufacturing: Most of the clothes we wear are made under horrific sweatshop conditions that trap workers in extreme poverty.
- Fast fashion: fashion marketing teaches us that clothing is disposable – "fast fashion." Retailers push for breath-takingly low prices to accelerate the cycle of buying, wearing, and disposing of garments – regardless of the environmental and human toll incurred. As a result, the average American throws more than 70 pounds of clothing a year into the trash, making room for more disposable "hunger and unhappiness."
It doesn't have to be that way. A growing number of brands offer clothes made from organic, sustainably produced fibers, for which farmers were paid a fair price. They use manufacturing methods that reduce or eliminate pollution and waste, and their operations foster ethical and fair trade labor practices.
We Are the Missing Piece
The missing piece in this puzzle is us – consumers who demand sustainably, ethically produced clothing. Where there is demand, industry will create supply. By voting with our wallets for sustainably made products, we contribute directly and tangibly to the creation of a safer, fairer, more beautiful world. Fashion Revolution Day exists to raise consumer awareness and change our buying behavior.
Fashion Revolution: The Event
Fashion Revolution Day was created to raise consumer awareness and change how we buy clothes. Carry Somers, the British fashion entrepreneur who started it all, recently talked with the Huffington Post about how the idea came into being and received a growing level of support. Here are a few excerpts (complete interview here):
"Most of the public is still not aware that human and environmental abuses are endemic across the fashion and textiles industry and that what they're wearing could have been made in an exploitative way. We don't want to wear that story anymore….
"We have created a How To Be A Fashion Revolutionary booklet this year, which is full of inspiration and ideas about how we can all use our voices and power to transform the fashion industry as we know it. [Download it free here.]
"Press coverage for our video, 'The 2 Euro T-shirt: a Social Experiment,' was also extensive. [Watch this short, very cool video here.] [It] has accumulated over 7 million views to date. In June the video won the Bronze prize at the Cannes Lion Film Festival and this achievement was widely reported by international press. A follow-up video has just been launched – 'The Child Labour Experiment.' [Watch this video made by some extraordinary kids here.]
"Behind the Barcode Fashion Report published last year found that … 75% [of fashion brands] didn't know where their fabrics and other inputs came from and 91% didn't know where the raw materials came from. Cotton harvested using forced labour in Uzbekistan is routinely labelled 'Made in Bangladesh,' and it was recently reported that Islamic State has taken over three-fourths of the cotton fields in Syria. How do we as consumers know that we aren't supporting ISIS or slave labour with the next cotton garment we buy?
"Together with Ethical Consumer, we are working on a Transparency Index, assessing 40 of the top selling brands in the UK, most of which are well-known global brands. The Index will be published for Fashion Revolution Week.
[For consumers,] "We launched the Haulternative last year, with YouTube vloggers including Noodlerella, CutiePieMarzia, Shameless Maya and Bip Ling. It's about how you can do a different kind of haul. A way of refreshing your wardrobe without buying new clothes, from upcycling to swaps to finding gems in charity shops. We call it the #haulternative. We had almost 2 million views of the #haulternative videos online last year. This year, we are asking fashion lovers from all over the world to join in and create their own haulternative video. We have 8 different haulternatives to choose from, so pick the one you like best: Love Story, Broken but Beautiful, Fashion Fix, Second Hand, Swap, DIY, Vintage or Hire. We hope that making a #haulternative video will inspire people with new ways of buying and experiencing clothes. Your voice can help us to change the world, one outfit at a time." [See existing #haulternative videos on Fashion Revolution's YouTube channel here.]
