The process begins with me writing a poem. Usually the character(s) involved will be a beast of some type, but not always (see Hrafna, for example). In my visualising of the beastly characters that I create, I've been inspired by several sources: first, by my life-long fascination with animals. Second, by a wonderful novel that I read some years ago - Someplace To Be Flying by Charles de Lint.
The states are -
Wholly animal,
Humanoid (though perhaps with some animalistic features),
Humanoid-bodied and beast-headed.
Such Therianthropes or shapeshifters form the heart of my poems.
Often, the characters are mainly envisaged as humanoid-bodied and beast-headed in my works, as they are often armed with weapons, and/or are engaged in activities that require hands.
It all depends though. One of my major characters, the sly Jack of Foxes, is, in my mind, usually in his fully-fox form.
So, I've got the poem, and I've got the character.
Let's take Nimravus Lord Daggercat as an example. He's a character that I've had in my head and on paper for quite some time. He's the main protagonist in a long, dark, (as yet unpublished on the blog) tale entitled 'The Burden', and he's also the subject of a pantoum that we published on the blog earlier this year.
Here it is again.
This rather unsentimental motto begins and ends many of our conversations concerning the development of the world described in Phil's Annals. Its my belief that this succinct little phrase is responsible for much of the success (maybe not monetary, but certainly creatively) of our collaboration. No idea keeps all ideas on their toes. No setting can settle, no character find complacency, no detail definite. This is the overlapping theme of our collaboration. Its authority extends beyond our own ideas and dictates even those concreted in cultural and historic tradition (if Santa were in the Annals he wouldn't wear a red suit, or a green suit. Santa might not even have a beard or a wobbly belly, and he definitely doesn't drink Coke). A lot falls to the proverbial cutting-room floor. We strive for originality, something that no one has ever seen before yet find vaguely familiar.
First things first, the poem has to be written (or semi-composed with at least a bit of narrative direction). Phil already has loads and loads of material, and since his poems are largely contained in the same universe, many of the characters occur time and time again. This makes the process easier as we go along. As one character is defined visually, the amount of time given to exploratory sketching and discussion for each subsequent poem is often shortened and shaved (although I doubt there will ever be a time when Phil doesn't throw in something or someone new into a poem). This is one of the most challenging, but exciting steps of the process. For me it's reading his original material, and then immersing myself in research. I typically look at all sorts of things. But for this project, I am more and more drawn to the paintings, drawings and design of the late 19th/early 20th Centuries. I've been looking at Mucha, Klimt, Schiele (my favorite), Waterhouse, Alma-Tadema, Gerome and Kollwitz to name just a few. Even though the poems are often dark, often gritty and nearly always grim there is an undeniable sense of beauty and romance. I think romance is dark, or at least our traditionally western notions of beauty (e.g. the Iliad, Romeo & Juliet, Tristan & Iseult, Edward and Bella (or so I'm told)) are mixed with tragedy and death. Not to wax too lyrical, but the sunset will always be more romantic than the sunrise, at least to me, because its light is the last of the day, that pale and dying fire.
So, once I've got about half a dozen books or so in front of me, I start sketching out ideas. I try to keep these pretty loose unless Phil and I have had lengthy and detailed conversations regarding some of the more concrete visuals. Then, I scan a whole bunch of stuff in to the PC and send them off to Phil for his take. Then, its emails, redraws (sometimes quite drastic) and onto layouts. Before we nail too many things down, Phil and I try to get together and talk about the poems. We discuss which passages would be best supported by illustration and confirm details (like in the case of Hrafna, "Does she have two swords, one sword, no sword?").
Then, it's all down to painting or drawing. I might still make small changes, and Phil might email me about slight changes to the text, but after that, it's just execution.
|A quick sketch made with a biro pen. A much leaner, more smilodon version of ol' Nimmy.
|A composite of two sketches. The border idea came out of nowhere, but I really wanted to include it. Notice how he's still a bit too lean. His hands are also very much like the paws of big cats.
Well, here it is nearing the end of August at Old Moon Tower. We're sitting here admiring the sunshine (and the hum of morning traffic) and talking about things to come. Varou is well underway with at least (we think) four more parts to come, lots of new characters to introduce and one mother of a battle scene to wade into. And once Varou has left centre stage there are many many more warm bodies to take his place. We're also investigating different formats, and would love your feedback on where and how you would like to see more of the Annals (think Kindle/Android/iPad, or even more traditional formats...). We can't wait to share more with you, and hope that you'll join us for the journey.
Ta ta for now TAoOMers!

re: Calling doctors/dentists/specialists on Team-BHP to provide free consultations
The original cream (Melalite - Hydroquinone, Oxybenzone, Octinoxate) was prescribed by a GP. But didn't work at all.
The plan was to go to a specialist but the specialist recommended by the GP was on vacation & in the meantime Melamet (Hydroquinone, Tretinoin and Mometasone) worked - hence the question. Anyway, now my cousin is currently travelling - she will be going to a specialist once she is back.

re: Calling doctors/dentists/specialists on Team-BHP to provide free consultations
Need an urgent solution for a tricky problem. I have a weeping wound in my groin/crotch area. It was a result of scratching a small pimple(or whatever one can call it), which developed to a wound. Anyway, the problem is that I am leaving for Bangalore today by 2 pm. It is a 36 hour journey. What medication/ointment/dressing will be best suitable for that area. I have decided that I will wear trousers/pajamas for the trip. So I can use proper bandages etc. Whay do you suggest? Also, I am on Amoxycillin tabs from yesterday, suggested by GP. No known complications except that I am ashthmatic.

The front teeth of my six year old son has not fallen off yet. I have noticed that the teeth of some kids of his age have fallen. Should I take him for dental checkup?
His is a peculiar situation, the front upper teeth was eroded since he was a baby. Just about a millimetre of teeth can be seen outside the gum. During a checkup the dentist had said that it will eventually fall off or get pushed out by new teeth. Is extraction required?

re: Calling doctors/dentists/specialists on Team-BHP to provide free consultations
I need some advice here. Around 15-16 months back I had a condition. I woke up one morning with a minor to moderate pain in my left shoulder, rather more towards the neck. I did not pay much attention to it, thinking that it must have been due to a wrong sleeping posture. Over the course of the day, it kept getting progressively worse to the point where I could not sit peacefully at one place. Back home in the evening there were a lot of home remedies tried, like hot water compress, etc. By night the pain had spread throughout the left hand and two or three fingers had gone numb. It was also sharp at certain spots on the shoulder and the arm. There was no inflammation, however.
Survived that night and the next day with painkillers. It had reduced somewhat in the morning, but kept increasing throughout the day and was at its painful best by night. Sat awake for hours cursing whatever I could think of.
Had an appointment fixed with an ortho the next day. Dr. Mudit Khanna, supposedly a well known guy throughout the country. He examined me. First thing he checked was whether there was any loss of grip. That part turned out fine. Then he pressed a few spots and asked a few questions. Finally he gave a two week course of a medicine called "Myospaz Forte" which is a muscle relaxant. He said that if the pain goes away in two weeks, I don't need to see him again.
The pain went away completely in about 7-8 days, though I did complete the two week course recommended for the tablets. I did not need to see the doctor again.
However, since then, a weird symptom has remained. There is a slight tingling sensation in my left thumb. I am not sure how to describe it exactly. It is always there, and always the same intensity. Visibly there is nothing. But when I touch the skin on the tip of my thumb, the feeling internally is slightly different from normal. The feeling or the intensity has not changed since the beginning. Also, one certain days (frequency may be once or twice a month) I get a slight weird pain either in my wrist or on the back of my palm. It feels nerve related. The pain is very less and not discomforting or hampering anything at all. This entire condition does not create any problems for me or prevent me from doing anything. The only exception to this happens sometimes while driving. The feeling intensifies a bit due to vibrations through the steering wheel. If I take off the hand and keep it on my lap for a few minutes, it reduces. This again happens very rarely and is not related to any specific circumstances or physical condition.
I researched online regarding this and the only logical conclusion I could arrive at is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The pictures look dreadful and the treatment says it involved surgery. Frankly speaking, I am not too fond of doctors and the thought or sight of blood freaks me out. It is not a phobia. More like a repulsion. This is probably the reason I never got myself examined by a doctor. That, and the fact that it is actually not causing my any discomfort or problem.
I would sincerely like views from forum members about what my symptoms might be pointing to, and what preventive/treatment measures I should be considering. Thanks.

As you don't mention any problem or pain on moving the thumb,It is unlikely that the cause is muscular or involves tendons.
Regarding pain in the muscles of hand, are you diabetic? It also occurs if you grip the steering too hard in a single spot without relaxing the muscles for a while.they get fatigued.
For carpal tunnel ,there's a simple test to squeeze your wrist for 45 seconds and see whether your hand goes numb.. but I recommend you let a trained professional carry out such maintenance on you!
Just like you would take your car to an ASS and not an untrained mechanic who will experiment and carry out 'jugaad' repairs!
P.s.I would recommend you exercise the muscles of your hand and forearm. It will help you in the long run .

I've got an eye sight since my 7th standard or so. It was initially 0.75 and now it's 1.75. I do a lot of touring on my bike and touring at night and during monsoon with the glasses on is a big pain! Had severe irritation during my leh ride last year. Finally decided to get a laser surgery done to both my eyes. Any pointers from doctors here as to what to look at before getting the surgery done? And any suggested places in Hyderabad?
Thanks in advance.

No I am not diabetic. My sugar levels are perfectly normal. And as for gripping the steering too hard, no I don't do that either. In fact I use my left hand much less frequently on the steering than my right.
Thanks for your advice Doc!! I will visit a specialist and get myself examined.
PS. And yes I do workout regularly, and do all regular exercises on my forearms and wrists. That does not cause any problem or discomfort.

ACL Reconstruction queries
I had ACL reconstruction on my right knee using auto graft of the patellar tendon.
Got this done on the 17th of April.
initially while trying to straighten my knee, there would be a lot of pain in and around the knee.
Recently i have started walking without my crutches, but with a knee immobiliser brace on.
And i can straighten my knee, but i cannot lock it straight [by flexing my quadriceps].
After i started walking, I get fairly bad pain where the Patellar tendon attaches to the Tibia.
I am not on Any pain killers, only on Collaflex and Cartigen Forte.
When i Ice the affected area, the pain reduces and i can lock my knee.
When i remove the knee brace, i can't put weight on my knee while it is straight, but while it is slightly bent, i can walk and even balance on my right foot. I feel no pain or strain in the knee, but i can feel pain where the Patellar Tendon attaches to the Tibia.
Should the pain last so long?
i can bend my knee from straight to slightly over 90 degrees.
concentrating on straightening it tough.
I don't know if this is strange or not, but when i keep my knee straight for some time, then i can feel strain when i bend the knee to 90 degrees. This strain lasts a couple of minutes and then my knee goes easily to 90 degrees.
And if i keep my knee bent for some time [not 90 degrees, less] then it takes a couple of minutes of stretching before i can straighten my knee.
Is this ok? seemed strange to me.
one more thing.
everyone keeps saying that cartilage and tendons can't heal.
so if they can't heal, how can i strengthen them?
I am working under the assumption that strengthening occurs when micro tears get healed increasing the strength.
also what is the point of having Collaflex and Cartigen Forte. they are meant for the regeneration of the cartilage and connective tissue. But if they can't heal why should i have it.
I will have it regardless of what i think though because i'll do almost anything to fix my knee.
want to play football again.

Re: ACL Reconstruction queries
the right exercises and the optimum intensity of exercise , using braces , strengthening muscles - all will help you to recover.
dont stop/start drugs without consulting your doctor.
The point is physiotherapy is what you should stress on to regain as much strength and stability of the knee.

I am undergoing shortwave diathermy and IFT treatment for prolapse disc of lower vertebrae. This is on orthopaedic doctor's prescription. I had undergone diathermy therapy about ten years back and found it very helpful. IFT involves vibrating pads and I am a bit worried. I got this slip disc due to handling of vibrating equipment at work. Looking from that viewpoint a vibrating treatment seems like anti therapy. Is my worry misplaced?

Traczyk, Wiley jockey for Republican 29th District nomination
205-A East Main St. | Front Royal
This Saturday, August 8, 2020, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Republicans will hold a FireHouse Primary at the Millwood Station Banquet Hall located at 252 Costello Drive, Winchester, Virginia. (Located across from the COSTCO).
District 29 includes the northern part of Warren County, which includes a small part of Front Royal, Winchester, and Western Frederick County. The winner of this primary will face the Democrat candidate Irina Khanin in the November 3rd election. That winner will be our new delegate in Virginia.
Bill Wiley and Richard Traczyk are in the race for the Virginia 29th District House of Delegate's seat recently vacated by Delegate Chris Collins.
"I'm running for Delegate because we need someone in Richmond who will stand up for the citizens of the 29th District. We've had enough of Richmond's liberal politics and it's time to fight back on the unconstitutional overreach pursued by the Democrats who currently control the legislature," said Richard Traczyk, former Chairman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors, and current resident of Frederick County,
Traczyk says that when he stepped down from the Board of Supervisors in 2015, "I thought I was done with politics; but now I'm seeing more than ever that we need representatives who care more about the citizens than about themselves. We need a representative who is not afraid to speak the truth and do what is right."
As a pro-life advocate, Mr. Traczyk will oppose any law that would undermine the right to life, from conception to natural death. He will oppose raising taxes on Virginia's families and push for laws that will once again make Virginia a great place to do business. "We stand at a cross-road of history and it's time to choose the right path forward," says Traczyk.
Bill Wiley is a current member of the Winchester City Council. He was first elected in 2014. Wiley also served on the Winchester Planning Commission for five years and was the Chairman for three of those years. He is the business development manager for Howard Shockey and Sons, Inc. and an associate real estate broker at Oakcrest Commercial Real Estate.
"I will fight for our fair share of tax dollars from Richmond, work to create a better job climate, and push for common-sense policies to make the Commonwealth a better place to live, work and raise a family. I will oppose any new tax increases and will fight to protect our Right to Work status," said Bill Wiley
He went on to say, "I will oppose planned parenthood and other special interest that believe taxpayer-funded abortion and abortion in the 3rd trimester should be legal. I will always support our Law Enforcement Officers and I will NOT support any attempt to defund our police. I will fight for our fair share of tax dollars from Richmond, work to repeal unfunded mandates on our localities, create a better job climate, and push for common-sense policies that will make the Commonwealth a better place to live, work and raise a family."
Both candidates support Second Amendment Rights and will not support legislation that infringes on the constitutional right to bear arms and protect your family.

Divergent Black Voices
205-A East Main St. | Front Royal
Today I read a post about an article from Fortune magazine that lists 19 Black economists to know and celebrate. I think it is great that we celebrate the contributions of Black Americans, but when Walter Williams is left off of any list of important economists, especially Black economists, I have to question the motives of those who made the list. Williams is the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University and is one of the most important economists over the past thirty years. Why was he left off the Fortune list? Historically speaking, it is a disagreement that goes back about 150 years.
Being a Black American, Williams has faced racism. After high school, he was drafted into the Army where he was court-marshaled for fighting back against the racial practices he experienced. After the Army, he finished his schooling, including earning his Master's and Ph.D. degrees from UCLA in economics.
Williams taught at Temple University and Stanford before finally settling in Northern Virginia to teach at George Mason. More than any other professor, Williams put Mason on the academic map. He has authored dozens if not hundreds of books and articles. He became known for his syndicated column, Minority View. He has never shied away from racial issues; his most recognized books are entitled The State against Blacks and America: A Minority Viewpoint.
Williams has received many prestigious awards in economics and is considered a leading voice in his field. So why was Williams excluded from a list of prominent Black economists by Fortune? That is easy: he is conservative. I completely support the concept behind Black Lives Matter, yet, as with so many organic movements, I fear BLM may be hijacked by divisive politics. I also start to question the motives of a movement when only liberal Black Americans are celebrated. Historically speaking, conservatives have suffered the same racist attitudes as all Black Americans and at times even more. Many Black conservatives not only struggle with hostile racism but resentment from their own community for not being Black enough. If you want evidence of this, you need look no further than the fact that Fortune magazine does not consider Walter Williams important enough to mention in their pages.
This divide is as old as Jim Crow. If you go back to around the beginning of the 20th Century, the two most influential Black Americans were W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington. Washington, born a slave in Virginia, put himself through the Hampton Institute, one of the first black schools set up after the war. He eventually rose to become the head of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Washington, having to fundraise to keep his Institute alive, tried to work with the white population. Tuskegee was a trade school and Washington taught that, through hard work, Blacks could raise themselves up out of their circumstances and eventually be accepted by whites. In Washington's most famous speech he said, "No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the world is long in any degree ostracized." He believed if Blacks proved themselves, they would be treated as equals. Washington was celebrated by the white population, but was often attacked by members of his own race.
Du Bois was born free in the North and excelled in education, being the first Black man to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard. Du Bois, who was extremely critical of Washington, believed Blacks should receive the same education as whites and did not want to wait for acceptance from whites. He wanted Blacks to push for civil rights and formed the NAACP to organize that cause. In The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois wrote of Washington, "From birth till death enslaved; in word, in deed, unmanned! Hereditary bondsmen! Know ye not. Who would be free themselves must strike the blow?"
Jump forward several years and these two trains of thought were being still debated during the Civil Rights crusades of the 1950s and 1960s. This time the principle figures were Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. While King took the Washington role of preaching non-violence and integration with whites to work for civil rights, Malcolm X channeled D Bois with his teaching of Black Power. Mr. X once said of King, "The white man pays Reverend Martin Luther King, subsidizes Reverend Martin Luther King, so that Reverend Martin Luther King can continue to teach the Negroes to be defenseless." All four men wanted to achieve the same destination; they just took different paths to arrive while being critical of the other.
The same is true with Dr. Williams and conservative Black voices today. They want the same ends as the Black Lives Matter movement; they have experienced the same racism. However, as the movement is becoming a political movement as much as a racial one, important voices like Dr. Williams are being silenced by the same voices calling for people of color to be heard.

How to avoid buyer's remorse
205-A East Main St. | Front Royal
If you want to buy a home, the fear of regretting your purchase could make it hard to commit to a particular property. Here are some tips for making a good decision and avoiding buyer's remorse.
Check and double-check your needs list
It's important to have a clear idea of what you need and want out of a property before you start looking for a new home. When deciding whether to make an offer on a house, check that it meets all of your non-negotiable requirements and that it's within your budget. Choosing a property that truly meets your needs will help you keep regrets at bay.
Take outside input with a grain of salt
Trust your real estate agent
One source of advice you should listen to, however, is your realtor. While agents can't find the right house for you on their own, they can provide you with all the information you need to make a sound choice.
Finally, remember that there's a difference between wondering if there's a better house out there and having real concerns. If something about the transaction doesn't sit well with you or a big issue is uncovered during the inspection, it's all right to keep looking.
Gun laws – Front Royal August 3 Town Council Work Session
205-A East Main St. | Front Royal
The Democrat controlled Virginia legislature passed a law enabling jurisdictions, beginning, July 1, 2020, to control the carrying of firearms in public places or approved public events. Previously any non-felon citizen could carry a visible firearm or a concealed firearm (with a permit) in any public place except schools and courthouses. At the August 3, 2020 Front Royal Council work session they considered a citizen offered resolution that declared the Town would not exercise any authority granted under the new law. It would leave things as they have been. No problem existed thus no solution was warranted.
I watched the Royal Examiner video of that meeting and was appalled. I encourage all to view this beginning at minute 16. First, the Town Attorney rambled about the new law and offered inaccurate counsel on the issue. He failed to acknowledge that firearms were indeed legal to carry presently in government buildings, when specifically questioned by a Councilman even when the Town's Chief of Police mentioned that citizens were not restricted from bringing firearms into the County Board meeting room. The Town attorney suggested that the public probably deduced that carrying firearms into Town Hall wasn't allowed because it was across from the courthouse. The Town Attorney impugned the character of town employees by commenting that some might not be trusted to carry firearms during work hours.
I wonder if he will be required to specifically identify the untrustworthy employees he referenced? I wonder if the Interim Manager will chastise the Town Attorney at the next Council meeting like he inappropriately did to Mayoral candidate Mike McCool recently?
The Town Attorney suggested that employees who collected taxes and fees would be more at risk from potentially angry citizens if they were not limited in the future from bringing firearms into Town Hall. The fact that in the Town's history I'm not aware of such an event ever occurring was conveniently overlooked. The Town Attorney pointed out that currently law enforcement was only present at Council meetings and not at other public body meetings. I believe the Town Attorney's comments demonstrate a clear bias against citizens carrying firearms in public and that his performance on this issue was far below what should be expected from a supposed, objective legal expert. This is not the first time I have witnessed questionable judgement from the Town's attorney and maybe the Town would be better served by obtaining fresh views.
Listening to the comments from Council I was shocked at how uninformed some were regarding firearm issues when just several months ago they passed a resolution declaring Front Royal to be supportive of the Second Amendment. Not a single Council person offered that the new State law was possibly in conflict with the US and Virginia Constitution that I recall. Several Councilmen failed to engage in any constructive comments about the topic at all! Instead, the resolution was kicked down the road for further discussion. Do not let it be said that this Council is not expert in can kicking!
This should have been an easy issue for the Council. It should have been passed unanimously with limited discussion. That Councilman Holloway, a Mayoral candidate, did not champion this resolution is either an indication of a shortcoming with political savvy or has a hidden belief that citizens cannot be trusted to be responsible with firearms in public. In either case, it would give me something to consider when voting in November if I was a Town resident.
The right to protect yourself, your family and your property is a human right, not to be managed by any government. The US and Virginia Constitution clearly affirm that it 'Shall Not Be Infringed'. Hopefully Town residents will be giving their Councilman a piece of their minds about their support on this resolution and it will be unanimously passed at the earliest Council meeting possible and by Warren County's Board as well.

When Keith Robson started his degree at Aston in 1963, it was a College of Advanced Technology, but by the time he graduated it had become a university. In the year that Aston was granted its Royal Charter, Keith was elected as President of the Guild of Students, making him the first person to hold this post at Aston. After leaving Aston with a BSc in Biological Sciences, Keith has enjoyed a diverse career, working for British Motor Holdings, Rootes/Chrysler, Perkins Engines and Varity Corporation. Having been given the opportunity to join Massey Ferguson's Head Office in Canada, he relocated, later moving to Hamilton Port Authority, based at Lake Ontario, where he held the post of CEO. Today he continues his links with the University as a member of the Advisory Board of Aston Business School.
My first involvement with the University was as a student applicant to what was then the College of Advanced Technology (CAT) in 1963. I was offered a place in the General Science Department and I was fortunate in also being offered a place in Gracie Hall - at the time the only student accommodation provided by the College. The first year, I made sure I made it to the second year, and then became much more involved in student activities - something that ultimately led to being elected President of the Guild of Students. The Guild represented the students of the CAT - the College of Commerce and College of Arts, which were all on the same campus.
In 1966 the CAT became a university and that was the year I became President of the Guild. Becoming a university provided all sorts of complications as the funding came under the University Grants Commission [UGC] and the other two colleges remained under the auspices of the Local Education Authority [LEA]. These two bodies had very different cultures. At the same time there were plans approved for a new Students' Union building that was due to start being constructed that year. It was very important to retain the joint Guild with the other institutions to support the Union building. It was even more important to retain the involvement of the students of the other colleges in the Guild. They supported much of the activities of the Guild and provided balance to the predominately engineering student body of the CAT.
With the support of [then Vice-Chancellor] Sir Peter Venables we were able to retain the joint Guild and the first thing we had to do was prepare a new Constitution which would involve a lot of negotiation with the UGC and the LEA. We were able to put an interim structure in place which enabled us to operate. I was fortunate in being able to select some of my own Executive so chose able and committed people. The result was a very successful year with lots of student activities as well as political involvement in a number of causes, including, inevitably, student grants and also social causes of the time, such as legalising abortion.
The second major task was the planning of the building of the Students' Union, obtaining funding and staffing for the Guild now that it had a much bigger administrative role. In those days, all the Executive were full-time students and I was in my final year as well. One of my enduring achievements was persuading the University to allow the President to have a sabbatical year as it was obvious that it needed more than part-time administration. Now the Union has three full-time officers. This is great experience as it is a sizable business, managing staff, dealing with customers (students) and outside agencies, suppliers; maintaining the assets and not making a loss!
More than anything, I think that my experience at Aston gave me a much broader awareness of the world, its diversity and opportunity. It also gave me a lot of self-confidence that I could succeed in doing whatever I put my mind to. My career changed dramatically as a result and I have been able to work with people at all levels of society. Sir Peter Venables was a great mentor. It also convinced me of the benefits of courses that incorporate work experience.
The best advice I can give is to keep an open mind and always be prepared for opportunities that arise where and when you least expect them. With today's technology, maintaining your network is so much easier, and many opportunities come from people you know. Personal networking through industry associations is also important and valuable experience. Keep on learning and retain a sense of humour.

text: In large measure a historical courtroom drama, Rising Road documents one of the most sensational crimes and trials in Alabama history: the murder of the pastor of Birmingham's St. Paul's Catholic Church, Rev. James Coyle. "Murder" is the wrong term in a strictly legal sense, as Coyle's killer was acquitted by a jury of his peers. This acquittal, however, as Sharon Davies convincingly argues, was a manifestly unjust decision based on prejudices and passions rather than on a fair weighing of evidence and consideration of the law.

"Hi, Id like a #1, animal style, with a side of Double Standards please."
objective: via In n Out, order a double cheeseburger, a strawberry shake, and a slice of wisdom concerning issues in monogamy. All for $5.99. Extra ketchup please.
A male/female couple walk up to the register to order their meals…
In n Out Chick: Hi! Welcome to In n Out. How are you?
Male: Good, good. Thanks.
In n Out: What can I get for you two today?
Male: Can I get a #2 please? Animal style.
In n Out: #2 animal style. Got it. And for you?
Female: Id like a #1, animal style, with a side of double standards please.
Male: Oh geez. Really? Really?
In n Out: Ummm. Excuse me? Double standards? Im not sure what you mean.
Female: Oh, what I mean is —
Male: Look. Do we have to do this again? And here? At fucking In n Out? Absolutely intolerable…
In n Out: Im confused.
Female: Okay, so what I mean by Double Standard is this: my boyfriend aka this man right here, aka the only man Ive been with for the last six months, the man who makes me cum, the man who, when we look into each other's eyes, it's very profound, verging on a Garden State moment…
In n Out: awww. I want that…
Female: Im sure youll find it some day. Maybe try the Beauty Bar? Anyway, so me and dude are "happy" and "in love"; however, he has this certain rule, which, oddly, is a rule that's merely following his own "nature". So for him, he's only acting in accordance with his "nature"…
Male: Wow. I cant believe you. Im going next door to the KFC/Taco Bell. Later.
Female: Uhhhh…yeah. Tell me how the Nacho Bell Grande is.
In n Out: Guess Ill cancel his order. Anyway, so about his "nature"…
Female: Right. So, apparently, according to his surely scrupulously tested experiments that justify this talk of his particular "nature", he claims that it's only in his nature to fuck lots of women. That is, even while in a serious relationship with a stellar woman aka a woman with a great ass, he cannot help but screw other chicks "if the situation arises".
In n Out: "If the situation arises?" Well, wouldnt he be putting himself in the situation? So he does have a choice…
Female: To screw? or not to screw? Yeah. Well, I think he does consider those options, but the way he sees it is: he's a "live in the moment" kind of dude. So, if he's in a situation where he's hitting it off with some enthralled hardbody, he doesnt want to spoil the fun. They both want each other…"it's just sex"…and it's "not a big deal."
In n Out: Wow. So you put up with him having sex with other women during your relationship?
Female: Well, when he first explained this convenient aspect of his nature, I tried to "be cool" about it. I mean, I get it: sometimes we may be inebriated, hitting it off with a hardbody who "ohmygod, loves that book too" and youre both dtf. It's something new. People like to fuck, fucking duh.
In n Out: Okay. I mean, if he's gonna insist on a fixed male nature, I dont see what limits promiscuity to males.
Females: Exactly. So, in my attempt to play the most boring game ever, ie, Playing It Cool, I told him Id put up with his indiscretions…but that Im actually curious myself to see how an "open" relationship would go because Ive never tried it before and I mean, hey, I get to have fun with other dudes too so I may prefer such an arrangement after all…
In n Out: So youre okay with him sleeping with other women as long as you get to sleep with other guys?
Female: Well, I was gonna try to be okay with him sleeping with other women. But the dude says I am not allowed to sleep with anyone else except for him. "It doesnt work that way" he says. In fact, he says that if I do mess around with other guys, he's gone. No more me-and-him. So while he's picking up Chick With Big Boobs at the bar, I get to pick up my Mad Men dvds and rewatch season 3.
In n Out: Are you having a laugh? Youve got to be kidding me.
Female: Totally not having a laugh. This is some serious Betty Draper shit.
In n Out: Wait. Have you tried playing him Beyonce's 'Single Ladies'? Maybe once he listens to that song, he'll realize he should, you know, put a ring on it.
Female: Yeah I did try that. He complained about how "inane" the song is and then gushed about how hot Beyonce looks in the music video. Besides. Simply "being married" does not guarantee monogamy.
In n Out: Dude. This is some serious Betty Draper shit. What up with Betty Draper in season 4? You see what being in such a relationship could do to you?
Female: Yeah, but…
In n Out: I mean, why are you still with him? Im sure all of this must hurt you, and it is far from ideal.
Female: Well, most everything else about our partnership is ideal. He's a total hey, he's super intelligent, the neighbors complain about our sex life, we look great together in facebook albums, he's really good at creating new acronyms…
In n Out: New acronyms? Like, "lol" and "brb"?
Female: Yeah. For example, if youre ever feeling down and youre on the verge of suicide but you want to update your facebook about it first, you just type in "blahblah depressed, nbrb." You know, as in, never be right back, since um, youll be dead.
In n Out: ummm…
Female: Not your cup of tea? Okay, well, there's also dtm, which stands for Dont Tempt Me. It's actually applicable to a lot of situations…
In n Out: Im sure. Dude should take the advice of his own acronym and tell these chicks he's about to sleep with: "DTM, nbrb."
Female: ha. I like that. Thanks for listening to all this. Im not sure if we accomplished anything. I mean, considering this is a fictional conversation with an In n Out employee for the sake of humor via the internet, I shouldnt expect much. Maybe an "lol". But I could seriously go for some In n Out right now. So yeah, a #1 please. Animal style. Hold the Double Standards though.

Have you ever heard-or spoken – the word is that your Morpho?
You may not be familiar with it, but if you look around you, it won't be hard to see them: the esqueuomorphs are everywhere.
But what are they?
The word itself comes from Greek: skeuos-meaning tool or container – and morphé-form-, but you will not find it in the dictionary of the Royal Academy of language.
However, the term has long been used, particularly by historians and archaeologists.
He calls "the presence in an object of formal traits that lack motivation in relation to its functions or conditions of its production and that can only be explained as atavisms with respect to a different model in its use or in technical conditions", as explained in his book "Eloquent forms" the prestigious medieval Serafín Moralejo Álvarez.
Hmmm… still not clear to you? And the photo above, rather than clearing things up, confuses you?
So don't worry: with a few examples and you will identify youromorphs without difficulty.
Because they are an aesthetic heritage of a time when the jeanera too thick to hold together only with thread. Although later they were no longer needed, metal rivets were still used… and that's an esqueuomorph.
They are-as Moralejo wrote – "the most spectacular testimony of the deep roots of the figurative instinct of human consciousness and subconscious."
The esqueuomorphs are produced, he explains,"because the forms, adhered for generations to certain uses, end up feeling as connatural to them."
On the other hand, the engines were originally placed at the front of the cars because the horses pulled their ancestors from the front.
The "horsepower" to measure its power is in itself an esqueuomorph, which stayed with us long after we freed the horses from that task.
And there's one more example in luxury cars: the hood ornaments, which used to be simple radiator caps.
A classic example of esqueuomorphism is found in the decorations on the stones of the ancient Greek temples.
The Doric triglyphs, those designs with three vertical bands separated by cords, were derived from those of earlier wooden temples and were created exclusively for ornamental purposes.
The triglyphs in the Stone are in the place that used to be the ends of the beams with which the roofs of the houses were made. Although the wood was no longer used, its footprint remained, as decoration, on the stone.

Royal Huisman Takes on Holland Jachtbouw Yard
Yachting Journal
Royal Huisman, a Dutch shipyard that specialises in the building and repair of sailing yachts, said that it will take over the Holland Jachtbouw facility in Amsterdam for further expansion.
The facility, which entered the ownership of the Port of Amsterdam on May 14, will now be leased to Royal Huisman, which will dedicate the yard to its future new-build and refit projects.
"With the arrival of Royal Huisman, the port of Amsterdam has attracted yet another yacht manufacturer with a Royal Charter," said a release from Amsterdam port.
Royal Huisman is the second superyacht manufacturer to join the port of Amsterdam community, following Feadship Royal van Lent, which opened its facilities there in 2016. The arrival of Royal Huisman will generate high-quality jobs in, as well as bring innovation and craftsmanship to, the Amsterdam region.
Port of Amsterdam CEO Koen Overtoom said: "Our acquisition of the wharf and the decision to lease it to Royal Huisman is a boost to the manufacturing industry, which adds significant value to our port."
"It is also an excellent way for us to promote our "Port of Partnerships" concept. The arrival of Royal Huisman to the Amsterdam port region is one step further towards fulfilling our goal of becoming a superyacht hub. The Amsterdam area is highly sought-after by yacht manufacturers owing to its highly skilled workforce, international airport and the celebrated Dutch sense of enterprise," Koen added.
Jan Timmerman, CEO of Royal Huisman said: "In extending our facilities in the Amsterdam region, we will be able to properly meet the growing demand among current and new customers. This second wharf will, over a longer period of time, serve as an excellent addition to our existing site in Vollenhove, both for new builds and for refits."

Lighting is viewed as the most huge zones of any photo. This is particularly valid for photography, where lighting could be difficult to deal with. In the congregation service, for instance, streak photography is generally precluded, just as the wedding proficient expert picture taker should depend on their quick focal points and ISO rates to get the shot.
Indeed, even gathering settings and lodgings could be somewhat dim, essentially during the cool months a few days, so when the climate is cold or potentially wet, at that point the best decision is regularly to achieve the representation photos inside. Best proficient wedding picture takers will simply utilize having an on-camera speed-light, either legitimately got moving in the subject, or ricocheted off a roof or divider.
Skipping the blaze normally supplies a progressively fun impact simply like a more extensive territory will presumably be enlightened, similar to the foundation behind the subject. Be that as it may, the limitations are clear, in any case the roof or dividers might be excessively far off or dim to reflect a considerable lot of the daylight, and when they are a particular shading, a horrendous shading cast may wrap up. What's more, you'll discover impediments innovatively with respect to the heading in the light when you're completely controlled by the environment. Isolating the blaze of your stuff, and activating it remotely can offer much better outcomes.
You'll discover 3 essential methods for finishing this errand. The premier is utilizing a wire association from your camera, this truly is entirely solid, yet rather unrealistic in the bustling wedding climate, I wouldn't suggest it. Second is having an infra red remote framework, both Canon and Nikon supply frameworks like this. The infra red frameworks are very solid, as are proper for auto streak introduction settings (TTL), nonetheless, whenever utilized outside require sort of sight of your stuff transmitter for the glimmer recipient (inside the sign will skip off dividers and so on.). The Next choice is radio triggers. These come in 2 types, principal models are very evident triggers as are contradictory with TTL, which means the blaze splendor needs setting by hands. Progressively expensive frameworks give TTL similarity. By and by I exploit standard's ST-E2 Infra Red framework.
Should I be without anyone else I am in a situation to mount the glimmer around the lightweight light stand and practice an Ezybox (a light-box delivered by Lastolite) to dissolve the sun's beams. Basically furnish a right hand with me during the evening he'll fall the stand legs and afterward use it simply like a post to have the option to press streak for each shot. Inside an ongoing wedding at Knowsley Hall in Liverpool, we utilized this arrangement to incredible impact. When shooting while at the same time utilizing Ezybox, you need to dialup the blaze presentation to some degree (generally. 1 stop) to cover that dissemination presented on through the delicate box.

• Why do we spend years using up our bodies to nurture our minds with experience and find our minds turning then to our exhausted bodies for solace?
No one has to repeat her story for she is an icon and the Janus face of the 20's.
I love what she said about Hemingway "No one is THAT male"
Zelda wasn't always 'crazy' she was witty, unique, sexy, talented and a great muse.
She wanted most of all to be a dancer. A Prima - but...
Zelda didn't start ballet until she was in her early 20's. Any ballerina can tell you it is a lost cause if you don't start as a young child and learn the discipline of pain and practice. And Primas begin when they start to walk.
So much pain you can sometimes see blood on the cotton in your toe shoes - and for what? For the glimpse of heaven that sometimes comes so unexpectedly.
It's very expressive of myself. I just lump everything in a great heap which I have labeled "the past," and, having thus emptied this deep reservoir that was once myself, I am ready to continue.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. – The St. Cloud Hospital in Minnesota's announcement that 'Mohamed' came third in the city's most popular baby names list has triggered a wave of hate comments, while Muslims celebrated the city's growing diversity.
"Our community is really growing and you can see that in hospitals," Hudda Ibrahim, who wrote a book on Somali immigration to central Minnesota, told Star Tribune.
"People are keeping those traditional names."
The hospital's announcement was made at the beginning of 2018 as part of a tradition the hospital has kept for years.
Sixteen newborn boys went home from the hospital last year with the name Mohamed, making the name the third most popular name in the city, after Liam and Henry.
The name 'Mohamed' has several variations and is one of the most popular names worldwide for Muslim parents.
The St. Cloud area has the largest Somali population in the state outside the Twin Cities.
Somali-American families name their firstborn sons after the Prophet with hopes that their child will take after him, Ibrahim said.

A list of the top 100 baby names for boys in the UK in 2016 found the name of Islam's Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at the top in both London and the West Midlands.

A walk in the park is relaxing for both you and your pet. While dogs get to breathe fresh air and to play and develop physically out of doors, they also need to relieve themselves of bodily waste.
The presence of dog faeces, whether on the street or in the park, is both aesthetically offensive and unsanitary — especially in green areas and playgrounds. Canine faeces may contain helminth eggs that lead to the disease helminthiasis, and may also cause other infectious diseases.
It should be mandatory for dog owners to clean up after their pets. In some places, dogs are allowed to walk in designated areas only.
You may walk your dog in the park only if it is on a lead and wearing a muzzle.

US stocks mixed as investors wait on debt news
There's deal talk in Washington. On Wall Street, it's wait-and-see.
The big stock indexes were mixed on Tuesday as Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate reported that a deal over the nation's borrowing limit appears to be getting closer.
Unless the borrowing limit is raised, the U.S. will bump up against a Thursday deadline that could lead to a default on government debt. That possibility has rattled markets all month.
There was reason for Wall Street to be noncommittal on Tuesday. For one, it wasn't clear whether House Republicans will go along with whatever the Senate works out. Also, any deal reached this week might simply set up another showdown a few months down the road.
In late morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average was down three points at 15,298. The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up one point at 1,711. The Nasdaq composite was up nine points at 3,824.
Six of 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 rose, with the biggest declines in consumer discretionary and utility stocks. Financial and technology stocks had the biggest gains.
The general direction for stocks was down all morning, with indexes about flat as midday neared. It was clear that traders were hanging on every word out of Washington. The losses on the Dow shrank by about 40 points during a short press conference by House Speaker John Boehner.
Uri Landesman, president of Platinum Partners, said he thinks there will be a deal, but that investors are making a mistake to focus on it. The economy has more risks than that. He believes U.S. growth is likely to be more sluggish than anticipated, and conflicts with Iran and Syria could blow up. Investors aren't accounting for the risk of "a short-term spike in energy prices, which would be very deleterious to a shaky economy," he said.
"Oil could go to $140 short-term," Landesman said. "Trust me - this global economy cannot handle $140 oil."
Oil prices spiked that high in 2008. On Tuesday, the price of oil fell 40 cents to $102.
Citigroup rose 11 cents to $49.71, reversing losses from earlier in the morning after it reported a smaller profit because of a drop in its bond business, investment banking and mortgage refinances.
Johnson & Johnson rose $51 cents to $90.30 after reporting a bigger third-quarter profit and raising its earnings forecast for the year.
The yield on the 10-year T-note rose to 2.72 percent, from 2.69 percent on Friday. Bond trading was closed Monday for Columbus Day.
Stocks in Europe rose. Germany's DAX rose 0.7 percent and Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.8 percent.

[tweetmeme source="joliea" only_single=false]
I decided to write this post just because. Yea, just because!
Well I was bored. And I hadn't posted anything in a while so there. Thats why.
I'm at home. Nursing my wounds… No, just nursing!. I went for surgery on Monday. There was something I needed to take care of and I finally had the means to do so! Whoopeee!!
To be honest, I am so proud of me. Really proud.
Now its recovery time. And boy oh boy am I bored. I don't know whether the title of "Workaholic" befits me but enyewe I'm not the kind of person who yearns for 3-day weekends! I rarely go out and, coffee dates…wait, what are those? Exactly! I tend to be by myself a lot. And I am very particular when it comes to spending money! In other words, I call myself an economist. Going out for me needs to be budgeted for! Actually, almost everything for me needs to be budgeted for, planned ahead, etcetera etcetera.
Funny, I call myself spontaneous….. hmmm…..
I have never gone "under the knife" nor had a "nip and tuck" (Hehe am tryna be funny here! Work with me!) bur honestly, that experience was amazing. I mean, you get goosebumps all over and you talk with the doctor and he's all cool calm and collected (unlike you!—thats why you never did medicine!) telling you to relax…its just an hour long operation ….and you're on safe hands…am experienced….and don't worry…you wont feel a thing….and all that nonesence stuff! In your head you cant stop thinking OMG! OMG! OMG! How is it gonna be! OMG! Am I okay? OMG! What the fkuc is anasthesia? OMG! Say what? I wont feel nothing? PHEW!!! Your worst fears are over and you smile back at him and follow him to the operating room.
Hmm…that light is big I say! Oh why are there so many people in here? Didn't you say its a small operation?
Yes dear, don't worry. These are students and they're here to learn. You don't mind now do you?
Oh no, of course not! I don't mind…except you never told me am gonna be a lab rat! Kwani who do you think I am? You just wanna cut me up infront of these strangers and…
Ah,,,these ain't no strangers Joliea, this here is Matthew, Mary, Lu….
I don't give a isht who they are! I ain't no lab rat… I am a well respected……. ooh! Is that a poodle? Ive always loved poodles! Here pretty pretty pretty! Come to mama….come to ma… ZZZzzzzz….
And that darn anasthesia kicks in. Hours later I find myself in bed and shaking like a leaf in autumn…wait…we don't have autumn in Kenya! Oops my bad! OK…like a leaf in….er……Limuru. So, where was I, umm..oh, here, so I wake up shaking like a you-know-what in you-know-where (OK am being silly now!) and my friends are looking at me in disbelief…I ask myself, kwani am dead ama? It seems like am awake bur am not…WTH!!??
I try to mumble afew words but nadda! I wonder… Then the doc comes in and tells me to wake up. That the procedure went well.
And here are what we removed.
Eew!! are you trying to kill me again?! He hids the whatever-he-had and smiles and goes away.
And the rest is history.
Voila, am at home and recovering. That was my version of the story. I think someone laced the anasthesia with some pot…hmm…i wonder,,,,,,
Nice tym y'all!
Oh, and I have no lights! Darn KPLC! NB: Here in Kenya, 'lights' and 'electricity' mean the same thing!

Climate change is wickedly complicated. It is interconnected with other massive global problems such as food security, water scarcity, biodiversity depletion and environmental degradation. This means that it is impossible to solve climate change with traditional approaches to innovation which tend to focus on a single, or just a few aspects of the problem. Instead, analysis of challenges and creation of solutions need to address entire systems.
Sustainability, climate, and low carbon economy innovators, professionals and practitioners, and those who enable and support them, including project managers, business development managers, and CSR managers.
- Explain the key difference between system innovation and traditional ways of innovating
- Describe the system innovation framework
- Summarise the system innovation process
- Distinguish between different tools used in system innovation
- Begin to experiment with and apply the canvas tools for analysing and facilitating system innovation challenges
This online course has been created and provided by EIT Climate-KIC (learning design, development and hosting) and Javier de Vicente Lopez and Cristian Matti (content and subject matter expertise).
For more information on this course please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
System Innovation has two key elements:
- A structured course: this is comprised of interactive learning nuggets, downloadable guides and a quiz. By completing each of these – including achieving the required score in the quiz – you will be awarded a certificate.
- Toolkits of canvases: you can explore these and download them to start experimenting how to use them for analysing and facilitating system innovation.
The first part – the structured course – will provide you with a foundation for system innovation. You'll be introduced to a framework, a 'loopy' process, and a range of tools – canvases that can be used at various stages of the process. NB: This first part – the course – is mandatory for participants on some Climate-KIC programmes; if you are on such a programme please check requirements with your organiser.
The others parts – the toolkits – are canvases for you to use as and when you need to. You do not need to explore all of them in one go – in fact, this might prove a bit overwhelming. Instead, we encourage you to download those which seem most relevant for you at the moment and try them out. Come back to the others whenever you want to.
When you take the quiz, ten questions will be assembled randomly from a pool of questions. You need to achieve a score of 70% or more to 'pass'.
Yes – you can re-take the quiz whenever you want. You may be presented with new questions and also some you've seen already – but not necessarily in the same order as before.
In the course element of System Innovation the learning nuggets explain the purpose of each of the canvases and have step-by-step examples of the canvases being used in practice. Download the canvases that you think could be most useful to you and experiment with them – feel free to adapt the canvases to suit your own needs. Come back to the toolkits and download other canvases whenever you want to.
Yes – feel free to adapt them to suit your own needs.
Your progress is tracked automatically – this is shown on the menu against each item. For the learning nuggets you will see whether you have not started, started, or finished each one. Opening a guide or canvas will register this as 'completed'.
Check with your organiser what is expected of you. For example, you may be required to complete the first part – the course, including the quiz – before attending your first face-to-face session (as you complete each element this will be shown on your dashboard). You will probably not be required to open and download each and every one of the items in the toolkits – these are here for you to come back to as and when you need them at certain points during the programme and indeed afterwards.
You need to score at least 70% and to have completed each of the learning nuggets to gain your Systems Innovation certificate....Less

Today we look at the dialogue in the continuation of the cartoon story we presented in the previous blog post (click to open a larger version in a new window):
Did you work out what the boy wants from his mother now?
Here is the dialogue and the English translation:
|ngandri! ngandri! 'Mother! Mother!'
|minha yundru ngantyayi karari? 'What do you want now?'
|yini mardanthu? 'Do you have any money?'
|minhandru? 'Why?'
|ngathu ngantyayi minha kurnu thayilha 'I want to eat something'
|matya yundru thayirna warayi puka pirna 'You have already had a lot to eat!'
|wapamayi ngathatamara pirkilha 'Go and play with your older sister'
We have seen all the grammatical structures here before, except for one new thing, and that is minha kurnu 'something' — we use this when we are thinking of something but don't want to name it (in this example the boy is thinking of pizza). If we don't know what the thing is then we use minhaya 'something or other' (we also have waranhaya 'someone or other').
Finally, notice that the last thing that the mother says is difficult to translate into English — ngathatamara means 'a group of two or more people one of whom is called ngathata 'younger sibling' by the others' (the uses of -mara are explained near the bottom of this blog post. We know from the previous cartoon that the boy has an older sister so I have translated this sentence as 'Go and play with your older sister', but depending on the context it could also mean 'Go and play with your older (or younger) brother(s) (or sister(s))'. If the mother wanted to be a bit clearer she could have said kaku-mara instead, which would have meant 'a group of two or more people one of whom is called kaku 'older sister' by the others'.
And the title of the previous blog? We can translate it as 'The greedy boy' since kanku means 'boy' and mawakantyi means 'someone who is hungry all the time'. The title of today's blog post can be translated 'He is a greedy one'.

Dabolim: "I feel honoured and happy. It is a great feeling to have been given this responsibility," Roma Khanna told The Navhind Times when asked what it felt like being the first Indian to be appointed Tournament Director by FIFA for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2020.
"We were down in Goa for two days to access all the facilities available in Goa. A report will be prepared and sent to the concerned officials. I am unable to discuss or divulge any details of my present visit,' said Roma, who was head of Venue Operations during the FIFA U-17 World Cup hosted by India in 2017 when Javier Ceppi was the Tournament Director.
India is to host the FIFA U-17 World Cup from September 21 to October 4, 2019 and Goa is one of the host cities. Unlike the FIFA World Cup in 2017, four cities have been shortlisted to host the tournament next year – Goa, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
Roma and the rest of the FIFA team visited the Fatorda stadium on Thursday and the practice ground in Benaulim on Thursday; she also visited the practice ground in Utorda, Bambolim and Tilak Maidan, Vasco on Friday.
The FIFA team paid particular attention to the playing field at the Nehru stadium in Fatorda apart from checking the status of the infrastructure at the practice grounds that were built for the boys World Cup in 2017.
The FIFA team, according to highly placed sources, was impressed of the maintenance maintained by Sports Authority of Goa (SAG) of the facilities created two years back. However, a few questions were raised about the condition of the playing field at the Nehru stadium in Fatorda.
"The SAG officials were informed that the condition of the playing field will need to be addressed by them. That was the only speck noticed during the FIFA two day visit to Goa," a senior member accompanying the FIFA team during its visit, told The Navhind Times before the team's departure from Goa on Friday.
India, as host, is one of the sixteen countries that will qualify for the World Cup. The Indian probable are already in Goa practicing under coach Alex Ambrose.
"The team will do their training in Goa. Some foreign tours are being planned but it is too early to say. Technical Director Doru Isac and coach Alex will decide the way forward,' a senior All India football Federation (AIFF) official told The Navhind Times over the phone.

Oregon's Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) is applauding Bend businesses for high compliance with State regulations. A minor went into those businesses under cover and tried to buy alcohol. Over three days last month, most of the businesses refused to sell alcohol to the minor. "One of them was 92%, one of them was 74%, and one of them was 100%. Out of 14 businesses that are staff checked, a 100% of them refused to sell alcohol to minors, so that's really great results." Christie Scott of the OLCC says there are many reasons not to sell alcohol to minors. Some of those include interfering with brain development and possibly leading to alcohol addiction in later years.
