"If we break through and advance, both our flanks will be assailed from two great water-courses in the hands of the enemy; our supplies would give ont, and the enemy, equal if not superior in numbers, would, with the other advantages, beat and destroy this army.
" The greatest master of the art of war has said, 'that if you would invade a country successfully you must have one line of operations, and one army, under one general.' But what is our condition ? The State of Virginia is made to constitute the command, in part or wholly, of some six generals, viz: Frémont, Banks, McDowell, Wool, Burnside, and McClellan, besides the scrap over the Chesapeake, in the care of Dix.
" The great battle of the war is to come off here. If we win it, the rebellion will be crushed-if we lose it, the consequences will be more horrible than I care to tell. The plan of campaign I voted for, if carried out with the means proposed, will certainly succeed. If any part of the means proposed are withheld or diverted, I deem it due to myself to say that our success will be uncertain....
"It is no doubt agreeable to the commander of the 1st corps to have a separate department, and as this letter advocates his return to General McClellan's command, it is proper to state that I am not at all influenced by personal regard or dislike to any of my seniors in rank. If I were to credit all the opinions which have been poured into my ears, I must believe that, in regard to my present fine command, I owe much to General McDowell and nothing to General McClellan. But I have disregarded all such officiousness, and I have from last July to the present day supported General McClellan, and obeyed all his orders with as hearty a good will as though he had been my brother or the friend to whom I owed most. I shall continue to do so to the last, and so long as he is my commander. And I am not desirous to displace him, and would not if I could He left Washington with the understanding that he was to execute a definite plan of campaign with certain prescribed means. The plan was good and the means sufficient, and without modification the enterprise was certain of success. But with the reduction of force and means, the plan is entirely changed, and is now a bad plan, with means insufficient for certain success.
"Do not look upon this communication as the offspring of despondency. I never despond ; and when you see me working the hardest, you may be sure that fortune is frowning upon me. I am working now to my utmost.
"Please show this letter to the President, and I should like also that Mr. Stanton should know its contents. Do me the honor to write to me as soon as you can, and believe me, with perfect respect, "Your most obedient servant,
"E. D. KEYES, " Brigadier General, Commanding 4th Army Corps. "Hon. IRA HARRIS, U. S. Senate."
On the 7th of April, and before the arrival of the divisions of Generals Hooker, Richardson and Casey, I received the following despatches from the President and Secretary of War :
: "WASHINGTON, April 6, 1862—8 p. m. ." Yours of 11 a. m. to-day received. Secretary of War informs me that the forwarding of transportation, ammunition, and Woodbury's brigade, under your orders, is not, and will not be, interfered with. You now have over one hundred thousand troops with you, independent of General Wool's command. I think you better break the enemy's line from Yorktown to Warwick river at once. This will probably use time as advantageously as you can.
"A. LINCOLN, President. " General G. B. MCCLELLAN." .
"WASHINGTON, April 6, 1862—2 p. m. " The President directs me to say that your despatch to himn has been received. General Sumner's corps is on the road to join you, and will go forward as fast as possible. Franklin's division is now on the advance towards Manassas. There is no means of transportation here to send it forward in time to be of service in your present operations. Telegraph frequently, and all in the power of the government shall be done to sustain you as occasion may require.
" Secretary of War. "General G. B. McCLELLAN."
By the 9th of April I had acquired a pretty good knowledge of the position and strength of the enemy's works, and the obstacles to be overcome, On that day I received the following letter from the President:
"WASHINGTON, April 9, 1862. "MY DEAR Sır: Your despatches complaining that you are not properly sustained, while they do not offend me, do pain me very much.
"Blenker's division was withdrawn from you before you left here, and you know the pressure under which I did it, and, as I thought, acquiesced in it-certainly not without reluctance.
" After you left I ascertained that less than 20,000 unorganized men, without a single field battery, were all you designed to be left for the defence of Washington and Manassas Junction, and part of this even was to goto General Hooker's old position. General Banks's corps, once designed for Manassas Junction, was diverted and tied up on the line of Winchester and Strasburg, and could not leave it without again exposing the upper Potomac and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. This presented, or would pres.. ent, when McDowell and Sumner should be gone, a great temptation to the enemy to turn back from the Rappahannock 'and sack Washington. My implicit order that Washington should, by the judgment of all the commanders of army corps, be left entirely secure, had been neglected. It was. precisely this that drove me to detain McDowell.
"I do not forget that I was satisfied with your arrangement to leave Banks at Manassas Junction ; but when that arrangement was broken up, and nothing was substituted for it, of course I was constrained to substi.. tute something for it myself. And allow me to ask, do you really think I should permit the line from Richmond, via Manassas Junction, to this city, to be entirely open, except what resistance could be presented by less than 20,000 unorganized troops ? This is a question which the country will not allow me to evade.
"There is a curious mystery about the number of troops now with you.. When I telegraphed you on the 6th, saying you had over a hundred thousand with you, I had just obtained from the Secretary of War a statement taken, as he said, from your own returns, making 108,000 then with you. and en route to you. You now say you will have but 85,000 when all en: route to you shall have reached you. How can the discrepancy of 23,000 be accounted for ?
"As to General Wool's command, I understand it is doing for you precisely what a like number of your own would have to do if that command was away.
"I suppose the whole force which has gone forward for you is with you by this time. And if so, I think it is the precise time for you to strike a blow. By delay the enemy will relatively gain upon you—that is, he will
gain faster by fortifications and re-enforcements than you can by re-enforcements alone. And once more let me tell you, it is indispensable to you that you strike a blow. I am powerless to help this. You will do me the justice to remember I always insisted that going down the bay in search of a field, instead of fighting at or near Manassas, was only shifting, and not surmounting, a difficulty ; that we'would find the same enemy, and the same or equal intrenchments, at either place. The country will not fail to note, is now noting, that the present hesitation to move upon an intrenched enemy is but the story of Manassas repeated.
"I beg to assure you that I have never written you or spoken to you in greater kindness of feeling than now, nor with a fuller purpose to sustain you, so far as, in my most anxious judgment, I consistently can. But you must act. "Yours, very truly,
"A. LINCOLN. "Major General MCCLELLAN."
With great deference to the opinions and wishes of his excellency the President, I most respectfully beg leave to refer to the facts which I have presented and those contained in the accompanying letter of General Keyes, with the reports of General Barnard and other officers, as furnishing a reply to the above letter. His excellency could not judge of the formidable character of the works before us as well as if he had been on the ground; and:whatever might have been his desire for prompt action, (certainly no greater than mine,) I feel confident if he could have made a personal inspection of the enemy's defences, he would have forbidden me risking the safety of the army and the possible successes of the campaign on a sanguinary assault of an advantageous and formidable position, which, even if successful, could not have been followed up to any other or better result than would have been reached by the regular operations of a siege. Still less could I forego the conclusions of my most instructed judgment for the mere sake of avoiding the personal consequences intimated in the President's despatch.
The following extracts from the report of the chief engineer (Brigadier General J. G. Barnard) embody the result of our reconnoissances, and give, with some degree of detail, the character and strength of the defences of Yorktown and the Warwick, and some of the obstacles which the army contended against and overcame.
Extracts from General Barnard's report. "The accompanying drawing (map No. 2) gives with accuracy the outline and armament of the fortifications of Yorktown proper, with the detached works immediately connected with it.
"The three bastioned fronts, looking towards our approaches, appear to have been earliest built, and have about fifteen feet thickness of parapet and eight feet to ten feet depth of ditch, the width varying much, but never being less at top of scarp than fifteen feet-I think generally much more.
"The works extending around the town, from the western salient of fronts just mentioned, appear to have been finished during the past winter and spring. They have formidable profiles, eighteen feet thickness of parapet, and generally ten feet depth of ditch.
"The water batteries had generally eighteen feet parapet, the guns in barbette.
"They were (as well as all the works mentioned) carefully constructed with well-made sod revetments.
"There were numerous traverses between the guns, and ample magazines ; how sufficient in bomb-proof qualities I am unable to say.
"The two first guns of the work on the heights bear upon the water as well as the land, and were of heavy calibre.
"The list herewith gives all the guns in position, or for which there were emplacements. The vacant emplacements were all occupied before the evacuation by siege guns, rifled 44.inch 24-pounders, and 18-pounders.
"In Fort Magruder (the first exterior work) there were found one 8-inch columbiad, one 42-pounder, and one 8-inch siege howitzer; the two former in barbette. The sketch will show the emplacements for guns on field and siege carriages; making, I think, with the foregoing, twenty-two. Two of these were placed behind traverses, with embrasures covered by blindages.
"The two external redoubts, with the connecting parapets, formed a re-entrant with the fronts of attack, and all the guns bore on our approaches.
"It will be seen, therefore, that our approaches were swept by the fire of at least forty-nine guns, nearly all of which were heavy, and many of them the most formidable guns known. Besides that, two-thirds of the guns of the water batteries and all the guns of Gloucester bore on our right batteries, though under disadvantageous circumstances..
"The ravine behind which the left of the Yorktown fronts of attack was placed was not very difficult, as the beads formed depressions in front of their left, imperfectly seen by their fire, and from which access could be had to the ditches; but we could not be sure of the fact before the evacuation. The enemy held, by means of a slight breastwork and rifle trenches, a position in advance of the heads of these ravines as far forward as the burnt house.
"The ravines which head between the Yorktown fortifications and the exterior works are deep and intricate. They were tolerably well seen, however, by the works which run westwardly from the Yorktown works, and which were too numerous and complicated to be traced on paper.
"Fort Magruder, the first lunette on our left, appears to have been built at an early period.
"The external connexion between this work was first a rifle trench, probably afterwards enlarged into a parapet, with external ditch and an emplacement for four guns in or near the small redan in the centre.
"Behind this they had constructed numerous epaulments, with connecting boyaus not fully arranged for infantry fires, and mainly intended probably to protect their camps and reserves against the destructive effects of our artillery.
"From the 'red redoubt these trenches and epaulments ran to the woods and rivulet which forins one head of the Warwick, and continue almost without break to connect with the works at Wynn's mill. This stream, just mentioned, whatever be its name, (the term 'Warwick,' according to some, applying only to the tidal channel from the James river up as high as Lee's mill,) was inundated by a number of dams from near where its head is crossed by the epaulments mentioned down to Lee's mill.
"Below Lee's mill the Warwick follows a tortuous course through salt marshes of two hundred yards or three hundred yards in width, from which the land rises up boldly to a height of thirty or forty feet.
"The first group of works is at Wynn's mill, where there is a dam and bridge. The next is to guard another dam between Wynn's and Lee's mills; (this is the point attacked by General Smith on the 16th ultimo, and where Lieutenant Merrill was wounded; the object of the attack was merely to prevent the further construction of works and feel the strength of the position.) A work, of what strength is not known, was at the sharp angle of the stream just above Lee's mill, and a formidable group of works was at Lee's mill, where there was also a dam and bridge.
"From Lee's mill a line of works extends across Mulberry island, or is supposed to do so..
"At Southal's landing is another formidable group of works, and from here, too, they extend apparently across to the James river.
"These groups of field-works were connected by rifle trenches or parapets for nearly the whole distance.
"They are far more extensive than may be supposed from the mention of of-them I make, and every kind of obstruction which the country affords, such as abattis, marsh, inundation, &c., was skilfully used. The line is certainly one of the most extensive known to modern times.
"The country on both sides of the Warwick, from near Yorktown down, is a dense forest with few clearings. It was swampy, and the roads impassable during the heavy rains we have constantly had, except where our own labors had corduroyed them.
"If we could have broken the enemy's line across the isthmus we could have invested Yorktown, and it must, with its garrison, have soon fallen into our hands. It was not deemed practicable, considering the strength of that line and the difficulty of handling our forces, (owing to the impracticable character of the country,) to do so.
"If we could take Yorktown, or drive the enemy out of that place, the enemy's line was no longer tenable. This we could do by siege operations. It was deemed too hazardous to attempt the reduction of the place by assault.".
The plan of the approaches and their defences as determined upon and finally executed is exhibited on the accompanying map, (No. -—.) It was, in words, to open the first parallel as near as possible to the works of the enemy, and under its protection to establish almost simultaneously batteries along the whole front, extending from York river on the right to the War. wick on the left, a cord of about one mile in length. The principal approaches were directed against the east end of the main work, which was most heavily armed and bore both on the water and land, and lay between Wormley's creek and York river. There also were placed the most of the batteries designed to act against the land front to enfilade the water batteries, and to act upon Gloucester.
1 designed at the earliest moment to open simultaneously with several batteries, and as soon as the enemy's guns, which swept the neck of land between Wormley's creek and the Warwick, were crippled and their fire kept down, to push the trenches as far forward as necessary and to assault Yorktown and the adjacent works.
The approaches to the batteries, the necessary bridges, and the roads to the depots, had been vigorously pushed to completion by the troops under Generals Heintzelman and Sumner, and were available for infantry, and in some instances for artillery, on the 17th of April, when the batteries and their connexions were commenced, and labor upon them kept up night and day until finished. Some of the batteries on easy ground and concealed from the view of the enemy were early completed and armed, and held ready for any emergency, but not permitted to open, as the return fire of the enemy would interfere too much with the labor on other and more important works. The completion of the more exposed and heaviest batteries was delayed by storms, preventing the landing of guns and ammunition.
It having been discovered that the enemy were receiving artillery stores at the wharf in Yorktown, on May 1 battery No. 1 was opened with effect upon the wharf and town.
On the 22d of April General Franklin, with his division from General

TOKYO (REUTERS) - McDonald's Corp is inviting bids for the sale of a 33 per cent stake in its Japan unit McDonald's Holdings Co Japan Ltd, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the situation.
The fast-food company owns just under 50 per cent of the unit. Bids are due next week and a number of private-equity firms are considering bids, the Journal reported.
Morgan Stanley is running the sale, the newspaper reported, citing one of the sources.
McDonald's - which last week agreed to sell the bulk of its China and Hong Kong business to state-backed conglomerate CITIC Ltd and Carlyle Group LP - said in January last year that it was looking to sell a portion of its stake in the Japanese business.
"McDonald's Corp is continuing to explore a potential sale of a portion of its ownership in McDonald's Japan. There have been no decisions made at this time," company spokesman Terri Hickey said in an email.

Market Outlook – 05/01/18 – Brandon Van Zee
The S&P 500® closed at session highs, producing a hammer candle. However, the rally was only good for 0.24%. The intermediate posture moved back to weakly bullish, but postures have switched back and forth often during this choppy market environment. After hours, earnings were released by Apple(AAPL), often the most influential stock in the market due to its size. Investors cheered its results in initial trading, which could bode well for tomorrow morning's open. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was the only major U.S. Index to close lower on today's session.

"Have fun."
It's such a simple directive; one we give and hear almost every day. Our kids go off to camp: "Have fun!" … We get together with friends: "Have fun!" We head out on vacation and are told: "Have fun!"
"Have" is a verb. It means "to experience, undergo." And I've been thinking about that subtle definition a lot lately.
Because too often, I'm not the one having fun. I'm watching fun. I'm orchestrating fun. I'm enjoying the outcomes of fun. But I'm not actually experiencing fun.
I think it's because, as a mom (and maybe as a boss, too) I always feel responsible, on the watch, required to think 10 steps ahead. Taking part in the fun feels somehow … irresponsible. Instead, it's my job to set up the fun situation for my kids to enjoy, and watch them have the fun as I plot out what comes next.
After the kids get out of the pool, I have to get them showered and ready because dinner reservations are in one hour and oh my god how the hell am I going to get their clothes together and get them ready in time and did I remember to pack their nice shoes and did I bring a hair brush and …
The sad truth is that maybe I've forgotten how to have fun. Maybe I've misplaced it as a priority for so long that, like an unused muscle, it leans toward relaxation rather than exertion.
And a lot of that (all of that?) is my fault. No one is stopping me from having fun. No one is telling me to be the vigilant fun-watcher. No one is forcing me to be the dedicated fun-photographer.
I'm done with being a fun bystander. I don't want my kids to remember me watching them have fun — I want them to remember me having fun WITH them.
That's why I making a fun-commitment. I'm jumping in the pool. I'm riding the waves. I'm getting my suit filled with sand and my hands covered in paint. I'm eating the ice cream – on a cone. I'm taking part. I'm joining in. I'M ENJOYING MYSELF.
I know that when I just relax and get involved with family fun activities, I'm always happy afterward. It feels fulfilling, rewarding, accomplished. It feels more real and substantial — like a full memory rather than just a snapshot.
This year I went on my first rollercoaster, EVER, and I was
scared to death so happy I did. My kids were shocked I went through with it (and so was my husband) and it made them so excited. And this weekend, we went to the amusement park. I went on my first swinging pirate ship ride. And for real, I actually liked it.
Those may sound like small victories, but to me they were huge. I'm usually the one holding the camera as the kids whiz by on the ride … the one watching the bags or the stroller … the one checking the schedule for what's next.
So mamas — who's with me? Who is ready to commit to a month of real FUN?
This month, we're exploring fun in all forms here on MotherHustle. And I want to know: what do you consider fun? Do you want more fun in your life? Join the conversation here or on Facebook and Instagram, and let's have some #MotherHustlin' fun together.

I believe this question is much more in-depth then what I see being posted on social media. As in many other areas, this question relies on a great deal of factors to decide what is best to do for exercise when you are traveling. The standard "hotel gym workout" or "hotel room body weight exercises" is not for everyone. The first recommendation I would give is to plan. Before traveling look at where you'll be staying, look at the hotel gym, look for gyms in around the hotel, or even ask your current gym or PT if they have any recommendations. Let's dive into a few of the questions that need to be addressed to determine what is best for you.
If you are a general fitness person going on a vacation to relax or be with family, friends, and loved ones then guess what you should do RELAX AND BE WITH YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR LOVED ONES. If you know you are going to be traveling plan a deload week ahead of time. Use this time to take a mental and physical break and enjoy life and your surroundings. My recommendations are going for a long, brisk, walk in the morning and engage in conversation with people that you don't normally get a lot of time to speak with.
If you are taking a week hiatus with your significant other, maybe to an all-inclusive or to a new city, then I recommend the same. Plus, you should be getting your exercise in other ways ;). Share time or experiences, if you want to go to a new gym or try a new exercise class to bond then do it. If not, then find other ways. A planned deload from exercising can have great potential benefits on your vacation, your future fitness goals, and overall life perspective. My recommendations are enjoying time with your significant other, relaxing, and exercising together ;).
If you are a general fitness person traveling alone for a day or 2 for work it might be a good idea to go for a run in a new place or find a local gym and make new connections. Finding a local gym near where you are staying will allow you to get your workout in while, maybe, making some connections in a new place. My recommendations are to keep up with exercise maybe use the hotel gym or a gym nearby and perform your routine using modifications if necessary.
If you are an athlete traveling for a week or on a road trip I would recommend doing your research and finding a gym that has what you need. Missing a week of lifts will not only effect your overall performance and goals but also can become a habit. Get gym recommendations, do your research and plan for your road trips. My recommendation is find a way to get your work in.
If you an athlete traveling for one day, there may be a little more wiggle room here. Traveling for one day can be a good time to get your mobility and corrective work in. What I would not recommend doing is 200 air squats and 200 pushups in your hotel room. Still have your goals in mind when you are traveling. This is a good time to focus on intent when performing your mobility drills and correctives. Treat your day of travel like a day 6 of a weekly workout plan. My recommendation would be to perform your accessory work with intent.
If you just like to move I recommend doing whatever pleases you. Get those endorphins up and begin feeling good. Get on the hotel treadmill, hit the hotel gym, do 500 air squats in your room. Just move and do what makes you happy. Moving is never a bad thing and can have a great impact on your trip. My recommendation, MOVE!
When traveling it is good to understand a few things. Understand why you are traveling is it for work? Is it to relax? Is it to sight see? Is it to spend time with loved ones? Understand your why and build your workout and exercise around that.
Understand the length of stay. If you are only staying in a place for a day it may just be additional stress to find a gym and fit it in your one day agenda. If you are staying for a week, two weeks, maybe longer it can be extremely beneficial for you to find a gym, not lose sight of your goals, and continue to keep exercise as a priority.
Understand your current workout routine. What does it include? What will you need? What phase are you in? Can you schedule a deload? These are all great questions to answer to decide whether you can find a gym, modify a work out, take a week to deload, or really get after it.
Understand who you are. If you're a baseball player traveling for a weekend tournament in the middle of nowhere it probably isn't beneficial to go out on some dirt trails and start running, this is a good time to perform your mobility or corrective work with intent. If you're a runner continue to run there's probably no reason to plan to find a new gym.
Overall, be logical with your exercise. Be logical with your travel and your workouts. Plan. And if your there to relax, RELAX.

Conor McGregor reveals he confronted Urijah Faber after "mangled-looking Irish" comment
Conor McGregor made it very clear that he'll fight Urijah Faber, but only if he earns it first.
The former WEC champion came under fire after his controversial comments about Irish men on Team Alpha Male radio.
Faber suggested that McGregor was like "a model" in Ireland in comparison to the rest of the male population.
"I've seen some hot Irish women but all the dudes over there are pretty mangled looking.
"Conor, just not having freckles and bright red hair makes him like a super male model over there.
"The ability to not have a face full of freckles and red hair steps his game up tremendously in Ireland. They've got a hero and he's good."
Faber's training partner and the current UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw also engaged in some McGregor bashing earlier this year.
When McGregor's title fight against Jose Aldo was announced, Dillashaw suggested that the Irish man had skipped the queue and was undeserving of a crack at the belt.
"I don't agree with Conor McGregor getting a title shot, especially after beating Dennis Siver, if he does. Why is that deserving of a title shot? Dennis Siver is not on the way up; he's not up there looking for a title shot himself."
Conor McGregor revealed at the last leg of the UFC 189 World Tour in Dublin that he confronted the Team Alpha Male duo backstage at a recent event over their trash-talk.
"I spoke with (Chad Mendes) team-mate, Urijah (Faber). He was talking shit as well. Him and his little buddy TJ (Dillashaw)."
He recalled telling the pair that he will defeat Jose Aldo and claim the UFC belt, which is something Faber failed to do back in the WEC days. Faber was well-beaten by Aldo who took home the unanimous decision victory at WEC 48 in 2010.
"I'm going to make it look easy. I'm going to do what none of them could do at Team Alpha Male."
When asked if he was open to fighting Faber in a sort of grudge match, McGregor agreed that he would, but only if Faber proves his worth.
"He's (Faber) in line for a number one contender fight. Frankie's the number one contender. I said 'if you can win, I said, I wish you well, if you win, we'll do it."
One thing's for sure, McGregor won't be short of opponents after the Aldo fight.

How long will I leave my Christmas decorations up this year? Perhaps I should leave them up for as long as the Christmas décor was on display in the stores. Let me try and remember…I think I saw the first Christmas tree right after Halloween, if not before. That means I can leave the decorations up until Valentine's Day. Now all of you know that I have done that before.
I like keeping my Black Santa Claus collection out for as long as possible. I used to be able to find Black Santas in quite a few stores. This year I could not find any. A good friend of mine found a few in Washington, D.C. What's going on? Have the Black Santas all moved to "Chocolate City?"
Now that the holiday is over I thought I would go in search of Black Santa décor. I started at the brick and mortar stores. I looked at T.J. Maxx, Marshall's, Home Goods and At Home. I came up empty. So I went online and did a search on Black Santa Claus. Bingo! I hit pay dirt, Black Santas everywhere. Well, not everywhere, but enough to make me happy and know that I can get a few more for my collection. I started out with Amazon and yes they have Black Santas in several sizes and price points. There is even a blow-up Santa for the lawn. I then ran across a site called the Black Art Depot on that site; a lot of the Santas were sold out. I hope I was just late to the party and when I go back next year they will be restocked and I can buy all that I want.
The site that I was most impressed with is called "It's a Black thang.com." Not only do they have Black Santas, they have Negro League items, Buffalo Soldier, Tuskegee Airman and more. A lot of the sites also carry Black Christmas cards. Just about anything Black that you may be looking for can be found on this site. Frankly, anything you are looking for can be found on the Internet. It is an amazing place. I am going to order a Santa or two and let you know how it turns out.

For over a thousand years Kyoto was the capital of Japan and it is probably the best preserved of all its cities. It's a beautiful vibrant city where modern life meets old traditional Japan. The city is surrounded by the mountains of Western Honshu and is a perfect base when visiting the Kansai region. The city is rich in heritage sites and culture, it has a great variety and number of restaurants and is fairly easy to navigate around.
Its rich culture and heritage permeates from each and every architecture and customs. Kyoto has thousands of temples and shrines, including the spectacular golden Kinkaku-ji, Ryoanji with its Zen garden, the popular Kiyomizu-dera, Sanjusangendo with its life-size statues of Kannon and the more tranquil Tenryu-ji in Arashiyama. Also in Arashiyama, there is the famous Bamboo Grove. A wonderful thing to do in Kyoto is a walking tour of Gion, one of the main Geisha districts. Its wooden buildings and lamps create the perfect ambiance.
Kyoto is one of the greatest historical cities in the world, filled with temples, shrines, teahouses and imperial residences. Kyoto is a city steeped in culture and heritage it's a must for anyone with an interest in Japanese history and culture.

NASH Induction with CCl4
by Judith Gorski PhD, May 8, 2019 at 01:00 PM | Tags
Learn more about NASH induction through CCl4 administration, and the advantages of inducing NASH in a dysmetabolic background.
NASH Induction with CCl4
There are many ways to induce NAFLD/NASH for preclinical rodent modeling. Methods include dietary manipulation (employing high fat, high cholesterol, high fructose, methionine/choline deficient diets, or combinations of the above), chemotoxic agent induction, and acute liver injury models. The most widely used is the application of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).
In the liver, CCl4 is metabolized by cytochrome P450 to two highly reactive radicals - trichloromethyl radical (CCl3) and oxygenation of CCl3. The CCl3 radical reacts with nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, impairing key cellular processes. This results in altered lipid metabolism (fatty degeneration and steatosis) and lowered protein quantities.
This early phase of toxicity is mainly characterized by rising activities of liver specific enzymes and triglycerides. There's a significant amount of hepatic fat accumulation (NASH) reducing hepatic function.
The oxygenation of CCl3 further initiates lipid peroxidation and the destruction of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which make up cell membranes. Consequently, membrane permeability in the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasma membrane is compromised. This leads to a strong inflammatory response which perpetuates chronic injury and promotes fibrosis.
Moreover, the interactions between CCl3 and DNA triggers mutations and eventually the formation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Challenges with CCl4 NASH Induction
Despite CCl4 induction being one of the most widely used experimental models for toxin-induced liver fibrosis, several factors within the procedure can vary and impact results. These factors include, but are not limited to:
- Genetic background.
- Treatment duration.
- Administration routes.
- Hepatotoxin preparation.
Strain/Genetic Background Effect on NASH Induction
C57BL/6 inbred mice are the most frequently used strain for CCl4 NASH induction as they are easily accessible. Historically, however, this strain develops only intermediate liver fibrosis. Studies have shown that BALB/c inbred mice are most sensitive to fibrosis induction, whereas FVB/N mice are insensitive to CCl4.
Adjusting CCl4 Treatment Duration to Animal Models
The range in sensitivity to CCl4 toxicity, and impact on severity of fibrogenesis, is due to the diverse genetic background seen across mouse strains. This varied sensitivity can be overcome by manipulating the frequency and duration of CCl4 treatment.
For example, in highly susceptible strains, four weeks of CCl4 application is usually sufficient for fibrosis induction. In comparison, for fibrosis-resistant strains the poor susceptibility can be partially compensated for by prolonged treatment of up to twelve weeks.
CCl4 Administration Route Affects Model Severity
The delivery route of the hepatotoxin also impacts the severity of the model. CCl4 delivery by oral or intraperitoneal (IP) route is common. Well-trained scientists should perform all procedures, as animal handling can induce a stress response that impacts results. Hepatoxins also need to be safely used.
Oral CCl4 delivery, either by gavage or oral feeding, can cause chemically-induced inflammation in the intestinal mucosa, while CCl4 delivery via IP is likely to be associated with abdominal adhesions and hepatic inflammation. Including appropriate controls for each induction method greatly benefits the interpretation of results.
Domenicali et al (2009) describe a novel method of CCl4-induced cirrhosis via inhalation intoxication. The study describes short cycles of CCl4 inhalation as an effective method to induce cirrhosis in mice.
Studies using inhaled CCl4 are typically performed for 11–15 weeks and aim towards the development of end stage liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension. The disadvantage to this using this method of delivery is the need for special equipment and trained experts as CCl4 vapors are toxic for humans.
Inducing NAFLD/NASH in a Dysmetabolic Background
The etiology in human liver fibrosis is very complex and many causative factors have been identified. Rodent models have become invaluable for understanding the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis, with the pharmacologically-induced toxicity in the CCl4 mouse model being practical and efficient. The model is great to use for studying pathways post liver injury, with the decline in liver function being pharmacologically induced.
However, models induced this way are lacking progression through a dysmetabolic environment, and pathways driving liver function decline are different from the pathways perturbed due to dysmetabolic consequences.
Metabolic disturbances such as insulin resistance, obesity, and dyslipidemia are prominent risk factors for the development of NAFLD and NASH. Therefore, it would be useful to recapitulate all factors of human disease simultaneously – both the liver injury/fibrosis and metabolic elements of NASH.
CCl4 NASH Induction in an Inherently Dysmetabolic Mouse Model
Multiple factors of human disease can be combined in one preclinical model if you start with the right strain. Using a polygenic, inherently dysmetabolic model e.g. MS-NASH (formerly FATZO) as your CCl4 induction starting point can combine severe fibrosis with dysmetabolism, diabetes, obesity, etc.
This type of translational model is suited to multiple study types, investigating both the pathogenic mechanisms of disease progression, as well as offering a human disease-relevant preclinical option for testing new approaches to NASH and antifibrotic therapies.
CCl4 NASH induction provides an efficient method for preclinical study of liver fibrosis using conventional rodent models. While these models feature the pathological features of NASH, they lack the disease dysmetabolic element. Inducing NASH with CCl4 in an inherently dysmetabolic strain provides a translational research model combining both severe fibrosis and dysmetabolism.

Seven years ago it looked like 35mm was a dead format. In the digital era though it still seems to thrive, with Kodak's recent announcement that it has re-opened a lab at the UK's Pinewood Studios - by the looks of it to support the Star Wars franchise - part of an increasing amount of background chatter that's becoming difficult to ignore.
There was a time – let's call it 2010 – when celluloid had passed its sell by date and digital was set to rule. Kodak had manufactured its last roll of 35mm (having barely survived bankruptcy in 2004); Deluxe and Technicolor merged then shuttered their labs around the world and even Martin Scorsese was making stereo 3D (a trick not so easily managed with dual sprockets).
But die-hard cineastes have had a last hurrah. Kodak has just re-opened a lab at Pinewood Studios in a deal which will last until 2022. That's not coincidentally the timeframe for Disney's planned 10 Star Wars films of which JJ Abrams' The Force Awakens and Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi (Episode VIII) are 35mm shows (Rogue One went suitably rogue and shot digital). They are all camped in Buckinghamshire.
As is James Bond. Kodak has taken space in the Ken Adam building and will be a cert to handle dailies for 007's next outing given the success DP Hoyte van Hoytema made with 35mm for Sam Mendes' Spectre.
While the lament that electronics could never hope to capture the magic of the chemical process was always a bit whimsical, many cinematographers have found it hard to match the aesthetic qualities of negative in digital form.
Even where digital is used, DPs regularly turned to old style optics and anamorphics from Cooke or Panavision to give their work an idiosyncratic or romantic look, often with a flare effect or bokeh which can't quite be recreated without them.
The cost argument was never quite proven either. Shooting video may allow a production to shoot as much as it wants without needing to finance each reel, but there were 'hidden' costs to digital in post production from data wrangling to storage.
Most importantly, film was championed by directors like Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino. So successful was Nolan's original Batman Begins (2005), there was no way Warner Bros. wasn't going to acquiesce to the director shooting the rest of the franchise and whatever else he wanted on the format.
That includes Dunkirk, Nolan's new epic which is not shot with any 35mm at all. Having lensed sequences of his previous films including Interstellar on IMAX 70mm, this time the entire film is shot on 65mm negative. Seventy percent of the film was shot on IMAX which is 65mm 15 perf. (1.43:1). The rest was shot on 65mm 5 perf (2.2:1) on Panavision cameras (the negative is 65mm, the print is 70mm). Each day the rushes were sent back to Fotokem in LA for processing. Travelling with Nolan during principal photography was a 70mm projector on which he could view dailies.
While such a cumbersome set-up is not for everyone, he and other director's insistence on retaining film at least as a choice for acquisition forced the studios to force Kodak's hand. In 2015 the firm reversed its decision to stop making 35mm film and promised a limited supply of stock to Hollywood for the foreseeable future.
Over the last few years, the format's renaissance has been remarkable. Boyhood, Interstellar, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Inherent Vice, The Imitation Game and Foxcatcher were all 2015 Oscar nominated pictures photographed on film. 2016's awards front-runners Carol, Bridge of Spies, The Hateful Eight, Joy, Black Mass, Son of Saul, The Big Short and Steve Jobs were also, in whole or in part, 16mm or 35mm originated.
And the choice of shooting on 35mm or Super 16mm film had a clear impact on the 2017 cinematography Oscar race including La La Land, Fences, Jackie, Nocturnal Animals, Loving and Hidden Figures.
More surprisingly, given their heavy VFX content, major releases Jurassic Park, Spectre, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Jason Bourne, The Mummy and Life also originated on film.
Not without some justification then "movies captured on film are winning nominations and awards at a disproportionately high rate," claims Steve Bellamy, president of Kodak Motion Picture and Entertainment. "Film benefits from the world's greatest motion picture artists using it, but the world's greatest motion picture artists also make better movies because they use film."
While shooting film is no guarantee of quality, it does seem to add a certain 'kite mark' of auteur intent to the filmmakers behind it.
Nolan, for example, has managed to get Dunkirk released two days early in cinemas with 35mm or 70mm projectors. Perhaps this high-profile endorsement will give a shot in the arm to the art of physical film projection, even if only temporarily (120 years of cinema projection is about to upended entirely by so-called direct view TV panels sold by Samsung and Sony).
In response to this resurgence Kodak also recently acquired a film-processing lab in Atlanta, where film is being processed for The Walking Dead and it has also built an entirely new film lab in New York.
Nor is Kodak the only lab in town. Cinelab in Slough has been flying the flag throughout the period when everyone seemed to be deserting the format, making a living by processing the dailies of a few film projects that were being commissioned but mostly by offering an archiving service.
Let's not forget that film is the only medium ever proven that will retain visual media for a century – and you can 'read' it by shining a light through it unlike optical disc or solid state variants.
For now, though, film is very much alive.

On March 23, 2017, with the first joint annual review of the Privacy Shield on the horizon, the European Parliament Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee narrowly adopted a resolution identifying "key deficiencies" in the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield. The resolution, which was passed by a vote of 29 in favor, 25 against and one abstention, details a number of deficiencies with the personal data transfer framework. In particular, while acknowledging improvement over the E.U.-U.S. Safe Harbor that was invalidated by the European Court of Justice in 2015, the resolution raises concerns regarding the lack of specific rules on automated decision-making and the general right to object to data transfers.
Additionally, in a show of skepticism of U.S. authorities, the resolution specifically notes the insufficient protections surrounding mass and indiscriminate collection of personal data despite assurances attached to the Privacy Shield by the U.S. Director of National Intelligence. The resolution also urged an immediate assessment of whether rules approved by the U.S. in early 2017 allowing the National Security Agency to share private data with other agencies are consistent with the U.S.'s responsibilities under the Privacy Shield. Finally, the lack of a judicial remedy for individuals in the European Union whose data is transferred under the Privacy Shield and processed by both private organizations and U.S. law enforcement agencies is yet another concern of the committee.
The resolution is expected to be voted on by the European Parliament as a whole in April.

Curriculum Overview
Med School at Manual students will visit local hospitals and laboratories to meet professionals in related fields and practice their skills with activities such as dissection (Career X), connect with mentors in the field (Career Coach), and participate in internship opportunities during the summer and school day (Career Launch). Below is a list of classes students take as a member of the Med School:
Principles of Biomedical Science
Students walk into class the first day to find a police scene! Anna Martinez is dead. Was it her angry business partner or jealous ex-husband, or did she put herself into a deadly blood sugar coma? Students will use forensics skills to uncover the crime scene and identify the cause of death. Throughout the year, students will also explore the leading causes of death in the United States and learn how to protect themselves and their family from these common diseases. Finally, students will participate in a blood spatter lab, DNA extraction and learn CPR.
Human Body Systems
Starting with an empty skeleton, students will gradually build in the organs using clay then create a disease in one of their body systems and kill their "person" off! Students will complete many dissections to discover what an eye is made of, how a joint works, or how kidneys function. Throughout the entire class, students will break the body down into its systems and learn how they function. Once students gain this insight, they will be given patient case studies, which they will have to research, diagnose and recommend treatment.
Health and Wellness
Good nutrition is one of the keys to a healthy life. People can improve their health by keeping a balanced diet. While in this class, students will grow their own vegetables, participate in cooking competitions with healthy ingredients, learn how to make water taste more delicious than soda, and how to thrive while living in a food desert.

Decided to introduce a few memory bracelets to my shop this week. I like the simplicity of them, the fact they are easy to wear with no fiddly clasps, and one size fits all. But I absolutely hate the way they devour all my lovely beads!
I'm a typical magpie, I hoard my little beauties, take them out, play with them, gaze at them lovingly, then put them all away again. Well that's not strictly true, of course I do use them in my designs, but I'm not used to depleting my entire stock of my absolute favourites all in one sitting!
Simple to make they may be, but it's definitely not a case of less is more where the memory bracelet is concerned, in fact the more the merrier! I adore the deeper cuff style of at least 3 or 4 wraps or more, so looks like I'm going to have to go on a bead buying binge... again!

The Sharpie-written notes on the "Banner of Hope" offered the answer to the question, "Why did you get up at 3 in the morning to do a 5K in the rain?"
"In loving memory of my dear Lori. Love you. This one's for you."
"In memory of Paddy, Love, Brigid."
"Missing you always!" This tiny message appeared under a drawing of a yellow butterfly whose artist added a smudge of orange and two tiny antennae with care.
Some left lists of names; Sinead. Johnny. Keiran. Wee Pat. Eddie.
All of them, messages to people who died by their own hand.
More than 250 people gathered outside Lloyd Hall on Kelly Drive at the top of Boathouse Row starting at 3 AM last Saturday to participate in the "Darkness Into Light" 5K to benefit Pieta House, an Irish organization that provides free counseling to those considering suicide or self-harm. Fox29's Bob Kelly hosted the opening ceremonies and helped rally the runners and walkers who were already soaked by the persistent drizzle.
They were joining more than 100,000 people in 120 locations across the world who got up early to live up to the spirit of the name—starting in darkness and walking into the light of sunrise. Leslie Alcock, executive director of the Irish Immigration Center of Philadelphia, along with Donegal-born Una McDaid of Havertown, headed a group of 40-some volunteers who organized the first Pieta House 5K ever in Philadelphia.
There is only one Pieta House branch in the US—in New York—but organizers hope to bring one to the Philadelphia area in the future.
The organization was founded by Irish psychologist Joan Freeman after the suicide of her sister. It relies heavily on donations to provide its counseling services free of charge. Speaking at the event in Dublin's Phoenix Park last Saturday, Freeman acknowledged the huge crowds who were meeting at the same time—4:15 AM, though in different time zones—across the world. The first marchers started in New Zealand, and the last in the US. "To feel the energy and the support of 120,000 people at our back is overwhelming,' Freeman told the crowd at Phoenix Park.
In Philadelphia, tiny battery-operated candles lit the 3.2 mile-path along the Schuylkill River. The event ended at the top of the steps of Philadelphia's Museum of Art as light—if not sunlight—illuminated the Parkway and parts of the skyline that was still wreathed in fog and mist. See photos below.
A recent report revealed the suicide rate in the US has jumped 24 percent since 1999, with the biggest increases among women between 45 and 64. Suicide rates for women have jumped by 80 percent since 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although men are still more likely than women to kill themselves.
In a related event, the Irish Immigration Center hosted Donegal writer Liam Porter who talked about his own journey from darkness into light. During Ireland's protracted recession, Porter lost his newspaper job and couldn't find work. He fell into a deep depression, a struggle he shared with very few people, including his own siblings (he's one of 13). Gradually, he found his way out by a series of small challenges he gave himself, one being writing a poem a day.
His book, Dancing in the Rain, contains over 90 of the 366 poems he wrote over a year. And one thing led to another: He ran 5Ks, climbed a mountain, and actually learned to dance, competing in a dance fundraiser to benefit a local school which he and his dance partner won. He and his sisters, Una McDaid and Fionnuala McBrearty, who live in Delaware County, read poems from his book on Monday night at a wine-and-cheese reception at the Immigration Center in Upper Darby.
Porter, who with his wife, Lorraine, participated in the "Darkness Into Light" 5K, told the story of taking a walk in his hometown of Raphoe and running into the father of a young footballer he'd coached, a young man who killed himself in his early 20s. "His father told me, 'He didn't take the pain away, he left it for us.'" The words struck a chord. He initially started the poem-a-day, he said, to guarantee that he would have a reason to get up every day.
"Once I had one done,' he told us in an interview late last year, when "Dancing in the Rain" was released, "I knew I had to be here tomorrow to do the next one, affirming what I'd decided: No going back to the worst of that dark place."
The writing, he said Monday night, "was like blotting paper" for the pain. "It just took it away."

Tornado Delisi Heads to Tennessee
May 20, 2019
On November 7, 2018, BDHS Senior Jake Delisi decided to become a Tornado by committing to King University, a NCAA division 2 school in Bristol, Tennessee. Delisi will join 2018 Graduate and former BDHS baseball player Garrett Cornell.
Baseball for Delisi started 12 years ago stemming from his father who has pushed him to become the player he is today. Delisi said "I guess I can say my dad inspired me to play baseball, follow his footsteps".
Before deciding on King University, Delisi drew interest from Lynchburg, Christopher Newport University, Frostburg State, and Marymount.
"King just made me feel like home," Admitted Delisi. "It's (King University) also kinda in the country, like Brentsville."
Delisi is entering his Senior season at BDHS coming off of an All-region season he hopes to be an immediate contributor. Delisi played a huge role in the BDHS run to the State Semifinals as the star defensive shortstop.
Delisi hopes to leave BDHS with a State title and receiving All-State recognition. Delisi responded "Leaving BDHS with these things is important so everyone will know how my hard work and dedication pays off".
Delisi is excited to get to King and start playing collegiate baseball, but he will always remember his time at BDHS and the success he has had.

Circa 1730-1740
This rare and very early table survives with the most desirable rich and historic surface. The cherry retains an early, if not original, dry and untouched color. Small and perfectly proportioned, with wonderful turnings, full feet and superbly shaped butterfly supports.
Provence: Lilian Cogan, Hartford, CT
Why we love it: Besides the rarity of a butterfly table, you just don't see a 1740's table with this finish. A one-of-a-kind survivor.

Ethereum is an online platform that enables users to exchange blockchains. It was developed by developer Vitalik Buterin. One useful way to understand how Ethereum works is to compare it to Bitcoin, which in many ways is much simpler. Bitcoin users exchange bitcoins and blockchains are used to track the ownership of specific bitcoins: this constitutes a form of currency. Ethereum has potentially wider applications as it focuses mainly on running code. Nevertheless, Ethereum is primarily used as a form of digital currency – an alternative to Bitcoin. This currency is sometimes just known as 'Ether' and those who exchange this currency are known (as with Bitcoin) as 'miners'. Ether and Bitcoin are both cryptocurrencies. Ethereum can be used as payment for goods and services, or to pay for using features of the Ethereum site itself. It can also be traded. It can be bought via a bank transfer or PayPal.
When trading any instrument it is always advisable to trade with a regulated broker. One key reason for this is the fact that regulated brokers provide a degree of client fund protection. A recent catastrophic event demonstrated that a regulated broker is the better option when it comes to trading cryptocurrencies. In February 2014, Mt Gox – which up until that point had been the largest Bitcoin exchange in the world – was the victim of a digital heist. As a result, 850, 000 Bitcoins were stolen from Mt Gox. 90% of these Bitcoins belonged to M Gox's customers. The total losses equalled $473m, i.e. around £365, 865, 500. Hedge fund managers in the know pulled out of any dealings with Mt Gox and the company swiftly declared bankruptcy. In the subsequent months, around 24, 000 former Mt Gox customers claimed for compensation. Mt Gox, however, did not provide client fund protection, and as only 202, 000 Bitcoins have been recovered from the thieves, it is likely that many of these Bitcoin users will never get their money back.
The moral of the story? Protect your funds when trading instruments such as Bitcoin and Ethereum by trading with regulated brokers such as AvaTrade. A regulated broker like AvaTrade also offers other advantages, too, such as a simple sign up process and the ability to trade other instruments as well as Ethereum, like Bitcoin and other currencies, stocks, commodities and indices.
Ethereum is growing in influence, and this growth has been aided by the fact that several powerful multinationals have adopted Ethereum as a currency option. Companies such as Microsoft, Intel and JPMorgan formed a 'blockchain alliance' in 2017. On May 9th 2017, the phrase 'buy Ethereum' started to trend on Google, demonstrating that there has been a huge surge in popular interest in this cryptocurrency in 2017 especially. This is also the year that the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance was announced – a group of academic entities and corporations aiming to focus on the further development of Ethereum. As of 23 May 2017, Ethereum was priced at $162.59 representing a 2009.76% increase for the year since opening at $8.07 on the 1st of January 2017.

Birmingham's Dan Evans will look to take his Davis Cup form into the AEGON Championships after earning a wild card into the main draw of the event at The Queen's Club, which starts on Monday.
The talented 23-year-old will line up alongside four of the world's top eight players - Andy Murray, Tomas Berdych, Juan Martin del Potro and Jo Wilfried Tsonga.
Four-time winner Lleyton Hewitt, defending champion Marin Cilic, and rising star Grigor Dimitrov will also compete for the title.
That news made it an excellent day for Evans who followed up Wednesday's outstanding victory over world No. 92 Ryan Harrison, one of the best wins of his career, with a straightforward 6-2, 6-2 triumph over compatriot Brydan Klein to book a quarter final berth in the AEGON Trophy in Nottingham.
Those results build on the success he had winning a Futures event in Sweden last month and come on the back of his heroic performance when he beat Dmitry Tursunov in the deciding rubber of their Davis Cup tie with Russia in April. Britain came back from 0-2 to win 3-2.
"Dan has backed up his great performance in the Davis Cup in Coventry with another win against a top 100 player at Nottingham this week," said LTA Head of Men's Tennis, Leon Smith. "His form is good, and his focus is on making the most of the opportunity he's been given here."
Further progress could see Evans given a wild card into Wimbledon, with the rest of the men's game, Murray apart, perpetually marooned on the Challenger and Futures circuits.
Evans has appeared once before at Queen's, in 2008 when, as an 18-year-old, he lost in straight sets to wily-Belgian Xavier Malisse.
Much has been written about the gifted Evans since then, most notably by those questioning his commitment to the sport, but Evans has responded to recent criticism from Tim Henman by restating his work ethic and, where it counts most, with his results over the last few months.
He is currently ranked 299 in the world but will rise when the new standings are released next week.

|So where do proceeds from US Treasuries end up? Hmm..
IMF now agrees with our Roubini Global long-held view that China is over-investing. Fixed investment is 50 percent of GDP. Lots of bad inves...
Roubini again demonstrates why Economists just don't understand reality, as they work to carve it into contextual fragments that fit their outdated theories. Not only are the rootings of human activity to physics and its laws ignored; but also, how geo-poltical realities define the basis of relevant analysis and commentary.
China is a case in point. Whereas, in the case of most nations the interests of the people and governing body are joint and combined under a socio-economic-political framework, thread or entity - China is very different. There are, in both concept and fact, two distinct entities: the Chinese people and the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). Credible topical analysis or commentary must take this separation into account to remain relevant, or it will fail long before pen hits paper.
Thusly, viewing China as two distinct socio-economic-political entities is crucial to understanding their different goals and natures Who is the CCP? Well this abstract from the Epoch Times provides salient insights into its separation, in all respects, from the people of China:
" ...the CCP emphasizes violent struggle against humanity, nature and the laws of Heaven to gain and maintain power, and how it indiscriminately changes its policies with complete disregard for morality, justice and human life. In its 50 years of rule, the CCP has been disastrous for both China and its people. Communist tyranny brought to China an estimated 60 to 80 million unnatural deaths, this number greater than the total deaths from the two world wars, and 13 times ... people killed by the Nazi regime."
Two primary conclusions can thus be drawn. The CCP is clearly distinct from the people of China, operating separately under its own rules and goals. Secondly, economists who would apply their outdated economic metrics and beliefs to this despotic entity are woefully misguided. The CCP operates under different standards, playing an investment game that is self-serving and dangerous. They play by their own rules - NOT YOURS!
Economists, such as Mr Roubini, would hence be well-advised to pay closer attention to such concrete delineations.

School is back with new staff and new students to get to know. Even though I miss those who left for greener pastures, it is great to have new graduate teachers full of energy and ideas. My teaching load is much the same with junior science, visual arts, computing and a day in PrePrimary. Fridays are my recovery days. I often feel the need to sleep after school. I'm not sure if it is my Dukan diet regime or just old age catching up. I have lost 9kg so am well on my way to a healthier and thinner me.
The last weekend of the holidays we went to Perth to watch John Cleese and spent some time at the beach and Fremantle before heading home. It was a lovely way to round off the holidays.
