Keira Barr, M.D. writes that getting a beauty sleep and eating foods that have anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant properties are considered great ways to prevent skin cancer. She also recommends to drink coffee and last but not least to get naked. I agree, you need to get naked to examine your skin for skin cancer screening.
And she spells it out correctly:
"Skin cancer is both the most prevalent and the most preventable cancer in our country. Remember to keep up with these four tips, as well as being diligent about sunscreen if you're going to be spending time outside. Cheers to your resilient health!
In Taiwan cancer is also a serious problem, so I would like to call on everyone to develop a healthy lifestyle. It's so important for prevention. I include Yoga in my daily life, for example, as practicing yoga helps with awareness.

Damascus: Syrian Kurds are pursuing talks with the government in Damascus to protect their territory from attack by Turkey, one possible consequence of President Donald Trump's decision to pull US troops from the country.
"It isn't comfortable for us but what is the other option?" said Elham Ahmad, a senior official with the Kurdish group that fought Daesh alongside the US "If we were cornered into choosing between a Turkish militia attacking our areas," and reaching an accord with President Bashar Al Assad, she said in an interview in Washington, "we would go with the regime."
Kurds were the most important ground forces in the American-led coalition against Daesh in Syria, taking heavy casualties and eventually gaining control of about one-third of the country. But their prospects of holding onto it took a blow when Trump announced that the US would withdraw.
Turkey has strongly opposed the US alliance with Ahmad's Kurdish group, which it sees as the Syrian branch of a terrorist organisation that's been fighting for autonomy from Ankara. Turkey is keen to move into parts of northeast Syria when the US departs, and the two Nato allies have discussed setting up a "safe zone" to protect Turkey's borders.
'We'd Fight Back'
Ahmad said that such a zone wouldn't be safe at all for the Kurds, but a "swamp of terrorism." And she said they'd fight back if Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's sends in his troops. "We can protect the safe zone ourselves," she said. "We would defend ourselves."
The Kurds, she said, have provided Assad, and his key backer, Russia, with an 11-point road map for reintegrating the region under the Damascus government. The new Syria should be "decentralised," said Ahmad. But "we want the unity of Syria. We don't want to secede."
Trump shocked even those in his inner circle by yielding to a suggestion from Erdogan, during a Dec. 14 telephone conversation between the two leaders, to reverse the Pentagon's Syrian strategy by pulling out US forces.
Trump's critics have warned that his abrupt decision would enable the Assad-Russia-Iran alliance to complete its victory in the eight-year civil war, which has killed half a million people and turned millions more into refugees.
Defence Secretary Jim Mattis resigned over the withdrawal plan, and other officials have pushed back, creating confusion over the timetable for withdrawal.
'Wave of violence'
In Ankara last weekend, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a prominent Trump ally and influential voice on foreign policy, said the US should slow down its planned exit to make sure Iran doesn't emerge as the biggest winner.
Ahmad said she's in Washington "to hear assurances and explain our point of view." She said what she's heard from the Americans suggests that they "aren't going to put a deadline for the withdrawal yet." And she warned that if the Kurds are left out of any Syrian settlement, there could be "another wave of violence." The Americans, she said, should be trying to help achieve a political solution to the conflict between Turkey and the Kurds as well as to the daunting question of Syria's future.
While he backs the idea of a safe zone in which Turkey would be involved, Trump has acknowledged the risks for his Kurdish allies. In a January 13 tweet, the president threatened to "devastate Turkey economically" if Erdogan's armed forces attack the Kurdish fighters who helped drive Daesh out of 99 per cent of the territory it once held.

Roc Multi-Corrextion 5-in-1 Perfecting BB Cream Review & Swatches
Roc Multi-Corrextion 5-in-1 Perfecting BB Cream ($24.99) is a new lightweight single shade BB Cream that's infused with Roc Retinol. It's formulated to protect skin with an SPF 25 while it fights fine lines and wrinkles while improving dark spots, smoothing, evening, and brightening skin tone.
Let's take a look!
Roc Multi-Corrextion 5-in-1 Perfecting BB Cream isn't exactly a groundbreaking anti-aging BB Cream after a quick look at the ingredients nor is it your standard full coverage BB Cream.
I think it might be slightly overpriced at around $24.99-$30 as well.
If you can get past the sheerer coverage and the price tag you might like this.
Available in a single shade Roc Multi-Corrextion 5-in-1 Perfecting BB Cream is a self adjusting formula which offers sheer coverage that evens out skin tone, hydrates, and creates a smoother appearance on skin. This is the type of coverage those with already good skin will enjoy because it's lighter and perfects versus actually concealing or covering your skin. The formula is creamy with a soft, dewy dry down on skin. It wears for a shorter time at around four hours before the even skin tone finish disappears. Apparently it's supposed to improve the appearance of dark spots while fighting lines and wrinkles. It might improve the appearance of dark spots slightly by brightening the area but likely won't treat dark spots.
The color adapting technology seems to work fine for me as the color goes down a shade as I apply it. It starts out quite a darker beige but goes a hint lighter beige during application. I like coverage like this in all honesty as it's sheer, allows my skin to breath, and merely perfects but doesn't conceal. Honestly, I have good skin so I don't really need to conceal problems however, I do require something to even out my skin tone and ease dullness. This address both issues fairly ok. The formula also contains an SPF 25.
On the down side I think the price is a bit much for what you are getting. At this price you can afford to indulge in a higher end tinted moisturizer which will likely offer a bit more color coverage, a better formula, and a wider range of shade selections.
Roc Multi-Corrextion 5-in-1 Perfecting BB Cream is one of those products that doesn't quite translate well. Is it a tinted moisturizer? Is it a BB Cream? Some sort of skincare treatment? Because it really doesn't do any of these jobs too well….I think the texture is beautiful but in all honesty you can get the same if not better coverage from Ponds Luminous Finish BB Cream at a quarter the price. I think that's where things went down hill for me as I might be likely to rave this as fairly nice sheer coverage but at near $30 I do wince at recommending it.
Oh well!
If you are curious to try it for yourself it's available now at Ulta and drugstores.

Wellness expert and business advisor Amina AlTai knows what it means to be a millennial on the move! When the stress of her "hustle and grind" lifestyle led her to be diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases, she began to search for solutions for her own wellness - after studying nutrition at IIN, fitness through NCCPT and Mindfulness Training under Charlie Knoles to get herself healthy, she decided to combine her 12 years of marketing experience with her wellness training to teach other entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to create healthy work they can thrive in.
Three years ago, I did something really brave. I jumped off the cliff and left the comfort of my full-time job to start my coaching program called Entreprenourished™ in which I coach entrepreneurs on how to grow their business and nurture their own well-being. From my perspective, the two concepts are intrinsically tied and I arrived at this work partly because in my 20's I started an agency where I helped emerging brands grow and I noticed an incredible correlation between brand health and founder health. The leaders that meditated, ate well, and invested in leadership training and transformation work were raking in the big bucks. And the leaders who refused to evolve or take care of their mental and physical well-being were struggling financially. It was an interesting connection that wouldn't fully make sense to me until I had my own MAJOR crash and burn.
The moment this idea crystalized was ... interesting. I was 26 and it was a Friday and I'd worked 80 hours that week, complete with all-nighters, skipped meals, and tons of caffeine. I remember waking up feeling really great about all the sacrifices I'd made—wearing my lack of sleep as a badge of honor and taking it to mean that I was somehow more valuable as a human being. You see, I grew up in a household that celebrated my doing over my being—my output, versus who I was as a person. I believed wholeheartedly that my self-worth was tied to what I created until one day when the Universe brought me to a screeching halt.
I was driving out to see a client in Connecticut when I got a call from my doctor.
"Pull over," she says sternly. "You need to go to the hospital right now."
I roll my eyes and continue drive. If I stop, I'll be late and there's nothing I hate more.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"I've got your bloodwork back and it's really not good. If you don't go to the hospital right now you are days away from multiple organ damage." Holy cow. I knew work and my warped relationship with self-worth was kinda killing me, but I didn't realize that it was actually killing me. For real.
That was the moment. It finally sunk in that my need to over-perform and prove myself because I felt fundamentally unlovable and unworthy might actually take me out for good. And that if I wanted to thrive I needed to majorly overhaul my life.
Right then and there I decided very consciously, and with great effort, to put the baggage down. I went on a journey to heal my mind and body—my relationship with work and stress. I studied nutrition, meditation and healthy moment. I realized that my behaviors were learned, and they could just as easily be unlearned. I dug deep to reconnect with myself and get clear on these old ideals that were running the show of my life and clearly not serving me.
I soon discovered that my ideas about myself were extremely limiting and they were also learned. I was taught that being lazy was bad and working absurdly hard was good, and I clung to this narrative my whole life. But when we are lost in a narrative, we can't be our real selves. And so began the process of changing the way I told my story and my belief system attached to it. And only when we change our beliefs and release the stories can we be our truest selves and view others the same way.
As I released these ideas, my views of the world changed, too. I went from fearful and competitive to loving and accepting. I could finally see and understand my own innate self-worth and it changed the way I viewed everyone and everything around me. Life was no longer a binary conversation of good versus bad. When you realize that it's safe to love yourself unconditionally, you suddenly become aware that there are no lanes, and there is no competition. Everyone is equal and innately perfect.
After years of seeing results in my own life I knew I needed to share on a bigger scale. I became so lit about my own transformation—and what was available to me when I was feeling good, that I vowed I had to pay it forward and teach other people, so they wouldn't have to hit a bottom like I did. And so, they could have healthy businesses and healthy minds and bodies to boot! Because entrepreneurship doesn't have to be about the struggle.
My name is Amina AlTai and I'm ABLE to see your innate greatness because I finally accept my own.

Carter moves up, Lowrie down after Astros-A's trade
- Shortstop Jed Lowrie falls out of the overall top 200 fantasy rankings after trade to Oakland
- 1B/OF Chris Carter could see his power numbers jump in Houston%2C especially if he gets regular at-bats
- Tyler Greene will take over at shortstop in Houston%2C giving him a chance to be an AL-only sleeper
It's not often you see a multiplayer trade within the same division, but we can forgive the Oakland Athletics and Houston Astros for not following convention in Monday's five-player deal. After all, they've only been AL West rivals for a few months.
The A's pick up infielder Jed Lowrie and hard-throwing right-hander Fernando Rodriguez and send first baseman Chris Carter and pitching prospect Brad Peacock and catcher Max Stassi to the Astros.
Lowrie is perhaps the biggest name from a fantasy standpoint (I originally had him ranked No. 148 overall in USA TODAY's fantasy baseball magazine), but it looks like he'll go from a starting shortstop in Houston to a utility infielder in Oakland. That's enough to drop him out of the top 200 -- and fall below fellow shortstops Andrelton Simmons, J.J. Hardy and Jean Segura.
That's not necessarily a bad thing for fantasy owners. Oakland signed Hiroyuki Nakajima from Japan this offseason and will likely have him as the starting shortstop most days. However, Lowrie does have power potential (he hit a career-high 16 homers last season in 97 games), so he could end up being a much more valuable late-round pick -- especially if he plays in enough games to gain eligibility at third base or even second. With Lowrie though, health is always an issue.
The interesting impact from the Astros' perspective is that it puts Carter in a much better environment to take advantage of his power. Carter slugged 16 home runs and slugged .514 last season in just 218 at-bats. Of those 16 homers, 13 of them went to left field or left-center. At Minute Maid Park, he'll have a much more inviting target in the left field Crawford Boxes.
Carter played first base and DH last season in Oakland, but the Astros already have Brett Wallace penciled in at first and Carlos Pena at DH. However, Carter can also play outfield and could displace J.D. Martinez as the starting left fielder. Depending on where he hits in the lineup, Carter, 26, could be a threat to hit 25 or 30 ... or more homers.
Lowrie's departure means a lot more playing time for shortstop Tyler Greene, who hit .230 last season with 11 home runs and 12 stolen bases for St. Louis and Houston. He has that intriguing power/speed combination, but he's never hit well enough to hold down permanent playing time. This trade may give him that opportunity.

The Raider D is doing a pretty good job covering the Tampa wideouts, even with Nnamdi on the shelf. Some decent pressure on Garcia, but a patented jump-pass has the Bucs driving. Interesting stat: heard the other day that Garcia is the NFL's top rated passer when on the run. That, combined with a few decent runs by their backs, has Chuckie threatening.
Meanwhile, I'm sweating almost as much as the players thanks to some spicy burritos and bloody maries.

He would become so enraptured with the music of his native France that he would begin conducting the orchestrations with his hands. At the end of the quarter, the students in his French culture class presented him with a conductor's baton.
"I still have it," said Horn. "Each time I see it, I'm reminded of that class and its wonderful students."
Listening to the French composers with his students is one of Horn's favorite memories from his 24-year career at Wright State University. It all began when he came to Wright State in 1975 as an assistant professor of French. With the university still in its infancy, Horn was one of only two professors teaching French language, literature and civilization. He would witness tremendous changes in his department, college and the university in the years to come.
"The largest employer near the university was Wright-Patterson Air Force Base," Horn noted, as he recalled his earliest days on campus. "Actually, there was nothing but vacant land on the other side of Colonel Glenn Highway. The campus comprised four academic buildings, known as the Quad. The library had just been finished."
Like the university, Horn's beloved French program grew in size and scope over the years. "It became quite a good program," he said.
Horn relished watching his students, some of whom came with very little knowledge of French, improve in their proficiency of the language.
At Wright State, Horn would receive several special recognitions for his work, both inside and outside the classroom. He was honored with the Best Teacher Award by the College of Liberal Arts and received the Presidential Award for Outstanding Faculty Member for overall contributions to teaching, research and professional service.
He was also named the Brage Golding Distinguished Professor of Research. "That was a great honor," said Horn. "It came with a generous stipend that allowed me to do research at other universities."
To express his gratitude to Wright State, he recently established a scholarship for students majoring in French.
"Wright State, via the Department of Modern Languages and its [former] chair Anni Whissen was very good to me," said Horn, "so I felt that the minimum gratitude I could show was to give some support to students."
While Horn was initially thinking about making a bequest in his will to fund the scholarship, he decided that he wanted to experience the joy of seeing his scholarship impact the lives of Wright State students. By making his gift now, his first scholarship will be awarded to a deserving student this fall.
Horn hopes his scholarship will encourage students to study French and travel to France or to Quebec in Canada to improve their speaking ability. Ideally, he would like to see his scholarship recipients go on to teach French in high school or college or to further their education in graduate school.
Horn also encourages students to think about pursuing a double major in French and business so they can work in the marketing department of a global corporation. "Students can utilize their degrees in French to make their lives better as well as to help improve their school, university or company," he said.
A firm believer that foreign language skills make graduates more well-rounded and marketable, Horn knows from personal experience how the ability to speak several languages can open doors. Emigrating to the United States in 1959, at almost 17, Horn arrived from Paris with his mother and older brother. His father passed away during World War II. The Horn family settled in New York City, where they had close relatives, some of whom had come to the U.S. before World War I.
Horn worked for a French bank on Wall Street and went to school in the evenings at Brooklyn College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in English. He would later graduate from Columbia University with a master's degree and Ph.D. in French. In 1975, he received an MBA from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he also taught French.
"If I had not decided to go into teaching, I probably would have stayed in that French bank," Horn recalled. "I would have helped the French executives to understand how Americans think and do things in business."
In 1978, the French government honored Horn with its Chevalier of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques, a national order established by Napoleon to recognize distinguished academics and figures in the world of culture and education. Recipients of the award are given a violet ribbon to wear on the lapel of their suit jacket to indicate this honor.
"They call it a 'knighthood,' but it isn't the same as a British knighthood, which is rather more elevated," he said.
Aside from his favorite pastime of reading, Horn jokes that he does very little since retiring from Wright State in 1999, although he has been known to whip up a boeuf bourguignon or cassoulet in the kitchen from time to time. Having commuted back and forth between Dayton and Florida for a number of years, he and his wife relocated permanently to the Sunshine State in 2017.
It is Horn's sincere hope that his academic experience and very American story will inspire others to give to Wright State as well.

Phanatic beans Phillies fan with flying frank
Kathy McVay of Plymouth Meeting learned the hard way that a hot dog can hurt. One wonders if Monday's incident might motivate the Phillies to do away with the hot dog cannon stunt.

Philippe Coutinho is not anxious about Neymar after the Brazil star limped out of training with an ankle problem in Sochi on Tuesday.

The same report says that Chelsea FC refused to comment on reports that they are set to pay £4.4m to release Sarri from Napoli . Carlo Ancelotti has already been confirmed as Napoli's new coach for next season, and finding a solution to remove Sarri from the wage bill is not considered to be a major hurdle to him taking charge at Chelsea next season.

It's been just four months since Spotify — a popular digital music service that lets users stream any of its 15 million songs — launched in the U.S., and already the company is headed in a "new direction." The details of the mysterious change will be announced at a press event next Wednesday, Nov. 30. In the meantime, techies can't help but speculate. What might Spotify announce? Here, four theories:
1. A Spotify music store
My money's on a "Spotify mp3 store launching in the near future, with plenty of integration with Facebook," says Tom Cheredar at VentureBeat. That would put Spotify in direct competition with iTunes and Google's recently announced music store. Yeah, says Peter Kafka at All Things D. An mp3 store seems likely given that Spotify already offers one in Europe.
2. A slew of new Spotify apps
I "respectfully disagree" with the mp3 store theory, says Eliot Van Buskirk at Wired. Instead, I think "Spotify will announce a commercial API (application programming interface) that lets app developers for iOS, Android, and other platforms build — and sell — music apps that draw on Spotify's catalog of 15-million-plus songs." Imagine a bounty of apps boasting a "wide range of features for playing back and sharing Spotify's music." That would let Spotify "flex its muscles a bit to show bands, labels, and publishers that if they're not on Spotify, they won't be part of this ecosystem."
3. A new video venture
"Spotify might be planning to launch a video streaming service to rival the music video traffic currently being lapped up by YouTube," says Adam Bunker at Electricpig. There were also rumors earlier this year that Spotify was talking with film studios "about a possible deal for distributing feature films," says The Local.
4. Any number of new features
"Will playlists finally be searchable from within the app? Is the player finally getting the social features it so sorely needs?" asks Thomas Houston at The Verge. Maybe there's an iPad app in the works. "Whatever the news, we'll be there next Wednesday."

This is a disturbing story, if it's true (via Glenn Reynolds). An older part-time student, janitor, and avid reader reads a book in a break room on campus at Indiana University/Purdue University Indianapolis. The book is entitled Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan. It's about a historical incident, a street fight in May 1924, involving Notre Dame students and some KKK members. It's received good reviews.
A couple of people in the break room say they don't like the KKK. The reader tells them that the book is about the KKK receiving their come-uppance, but they don't seem interested.
Weeks later, he is informed that because he read this book -- a book that denigrates the Ku Klux Klan -- he has been accused of racial harassment. A few weeks after that, he is informed he has been found guilty of racial harassment and told he cannot read the book around his co-workers.
Fortunately, there's more to the story than this. The avid reader complained about the judgment, and received a follow-up letter to replace the earlier judgment, which ultimately drew no final conclusion. Yet the fact that this went as far as it did still troubles me, unless there are significant details being left out. Indeed, I hope there are significant details being left out, because otherwise, this case is obscene. It would be like someone being found guilty of anti-Semitism for reading a book about the Allies' victory over the Nazis in World War 2. Such a book, after all, would be about Nazis, and people are offended by Nazis. The fact that it's about the Nazis being defeated would be irrelevant, for the same reason that it's irrelevant that the subtitle of the book above is "How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan".
But leave all that aside: folks, he was found guilty of racial harassment by reading a book. Unless he was reading it out loud, I don't see how that could possibly infringe upon others. If you don't want to read the title of the book someone else is reading, don't read it. Look somewhere else, sit somewhere else. I really hope there's more to this story than this.

just drifting over here from patterico as a result of your post there. even if the book was in support of the kkk, sampson has a right to read the book. as you say if the title is offensive then don't read it.

It was a busy week, but to get me in the swing I joined a swim organised by AONB on Anglesey. I'm no swimmer but had the most divine morning in the sea around Llanddwyn in the capable hands of Ben from the Wildlife Trust and the guys from Gone Swimming.
As we walked down to the island we found a number of barrel jellyfish, a tiny sprat in a tiny puddle and my favourite, a very furry sea potato.
Once we were in the water we set off at a leisurely pace, pausing while turnstones skimmed us overhead and a very cheeky shag came and investigated us. After visiting Llanddwyn so frequently, it was great to have the birds view from the sea. As the tide started to turn we were joined by a seal, I've often seen one hanging about at Ynys y Clochydd but very special to be in the water with it. (Many thanks to Lowri from AONB for organising it and providing photos)
The rest of my week involved gathering work and preparing for my Helfa Gelf residency at Galeri, Caernarfon. On Friday, along with the other artists Drws y Coed/Hannah Wardle, Catheryn Lowri Griffith and Rebecca F.Hardy and Sian Rees Astley, we set about turning four rooms and offices into gallery spaces. I had a room with a sea view and balcony which complimented my Llanddwyn finds and the work derived from it. Thanks to all who camed to visit and showed interest and a big thankyou to Menna and all the team at Galeri.
There will be another opportunity to see this work on the 20th and 21st September, Neuadd Goffa, Mynydd Llandegai. I will also have some of my 'Treasure' collection on display and a 'Second Chance' cabinet of previous collections at discounted prices.
We will also be running the very popular silver ring workshops, £15 – £35, there's no need to book, just turn up and get sawing, hammering and soldering.
And of course a selection of cake!
For directions follow the links to the Helfa Gelf or Neuadd Goffa websites
Look forward to meeting you there!

Free meningococcal jabs for NSW students
"Lottie Cooley" (2018-08-05)
More than 200,000 students have been vaccinated against multiple strains of meningococcal since 2017 in a $17 million program.
The state-funded program includes the less common W strain because it has an eight per cent mortality rate - twice as high as other meningococcal strains - and diagnoses are on the rise.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Sunday announced a further $3.6 million to roll the ACWY vaccine out to more students in year 10 and 11.
Paddington's Lily O'Connell, speaking alongside the premier, came down with flu like symptoms on Christmas Day.
By that evening she was diagnosed with the W strain and placed in intensive care - where she would remain for eight days.
"If I'd waited any longer I probably wouldn't have made it," she said.
But the disease destroyed her kidneys and she now spends five hours every second day on dialysis.
"Luckily my sister is donating a kidney to me in two weeks time which is very exciting," she said.
The W strain became a concern for the state's health authorities after diagnoses quadrupled between 2014 and 2016.
NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant said adolescents were being targeted by the program because schools are an effective way to immunise high numbers of an at-risk group.
The vaccine is also available for purchase for the wider community and Dr Chant urged people to remain vigilant for symptoms as spring usually brings an increase in meningococcal cases.
"If you experience symptoms including a sudden onset of fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness, joint pain or rash of red-purple spots, go straight to your nearest emergency department to seek help," Dr Chant said.
"Acting quickly can save your life."
In the event you cherished this short article and you would like to be given details relating to Chronic pain i implore you to stop by the web-site.

10. "Casting my eyes on Mr. Wemmick as we went along, to see what he was like in the light of day, I found him to be a dry man, rather short in stature, with a square wooden face, whose expression seemed to have been imperfectly chipped out with a dull-edged chisel. There were some marks in it that might have been dimples, if the material had been softer and the instrument finer, but which, as it was, were only dints. The chisel had made three or four of these attempts at embellishment over his nose, but had given them up without an effort to smooth them off."
Author: Charles Dickens

11. "To summarize, using money to motivate people can be a double-edged sword. For tasks that require cognitive ability, low to moderate performance-based incentives can help. But when the incentive level is very high, it can command too much attention and thereby distract the person's mind with thoughts about the reward. This can create stress and ultimately reduce the level of performance."
Author: Dan Ariely

12. "The left side of my brain had been shut down like a damaged section of a spinship being sealed off, airtight doors leaving the doomed compartments open to vacuum. I could still think. Control of the right side of my body soon returned. Only the language centers had been damaged beyond simple repair. The marvelous organic computer wedged in my skull had dumped its language content like a flawed program. The right hemisphere was not without some language – but only the most emotionally charged units of communication could lodge in that affective hemisphere; my vocabulary was now down to nine words. (This, I learned later, was exceptional, many victims of CVAs retain only two or three.) For the record, here is my entire vocabulary of manageable words: fuck, shit, piss, cunt, goddamn, motherfucker, asshole, peepee, and poopoo."
Author: Dan Simmons

13. "If someone told me that I could live my life again free of depression provided I was willing to give up the gifts depression has given me--the depth of awareness, the expanded consciousness, the increased sensitivity, the awareness of limitation, the tenderness of love, the meaning of friendship, the apreciation of life, the joy of a passionate heart--I would say, 'This is a Faustian bargain! Give me my depressions. Let the darkness descend. But do not take away the gifts that depression, with the help of some unseen hand, has dredged up from the deep ocean of my soul and strewn along the shores of my life. I can endure darkness if I must; but I cannot lie without these gifts. I cannot live without my soul.' (p. 188)"

14. "The God who is with us is the God who forsakes us (Mark 15:34).[...] Before God and with him we live without God. God allows himself to be edged out of the world and onto the cross. God is weak and powerless in the world, and that is exactly the way, the only way, in which he can be with us and help us."

15. "Bob was not a young man, and he knew about loss. He knew the quiet that arrived, the blinding force of panic, and he knew that each loss brought with it some odd, barely acknowledged sense of release. He was not an especially contemplative person, and he did not dwell on this. But by October there were many days when the swell of rightness, loose-limbedness, and gentle gravity came to him. It recalled to him being a child, when he found one day he could finally color within the lines."

17. "I've tested my strength everywhere. You advised me to do that, "in order to know myself." This testing for myself, and for show, proved it to be boundless, as before all my life. In front of your very eyes I endured a slap from your brother; I acknowledged my marriage publicly. But what to apply my strength to--that I have never seen, nor do I see it now, despite your encouragements in Switzerland, which I believed. I am as capable now as ever before of wishing to do a good deed, and I take pleasure in that; along with it, I wish for evil and also feel pleasure. But both the one and the other, as always, are too shallow, and are never very much. My desires are far too weak; they cannot guide. One can cross a river on a log, but not on a chip."

21. "Religion must now recognize that our deep antisocial impulses when denied and repressed do not disappear miraculously from reality; the more we treat them like criminals, the more vengeance they take against us. Adults who strive for total repression of their impulses in the realm of imagination wreak havoc either on their bodies or their spirits.The religion of the future should take a page from the notebook of the psychotherapist, encouraging men to tolerate their unacceptable impulses, to sublimate them, and at the same time to discipline themselves to a finer and more generous program of action. It must strengthen mature men and women to realize that everyone has desires and fantasies antisocial in nature. Only when their presence is acknowledged rather than repressed can they be prevented from exercising dominion over us in the realm of action."

Standing with him in the room the rearing canvas stares back with tentative shapes halted in their growth, moving in a new rhythm from floor to ceiling. The twisted tubes, the fresh paint squeezed and smeared across the dry upon his palette. The dust beneath the easel. The paint has edged along the brushes' handles. The white light in a northern sky is silent. The window gapes as he inhales his world. His world: a rented room, and turpentine. He moves towards his half-born. He is in love."

"The appearance in nineteenth-century psychiatry, jurisprudence, and literature of a whole series of discourses on the species and subspecies of homosexuality, inversion, pederasty, and "psychic hermaphroditism" made possible a strong advance of social controls into this area of "perversity"; but it also made possible the formation of a "reverse" discourse: homosexuality began to speak in its own behalf, to demand that its legitimacy or "naturality" be acknowledged, often in the same vocabulary, using the same categories by which it was medically disqualified."

I remember reading that article saying that about me. It pissed me off. It's my life, and I am a collector. I collect everything: cars, trains, manuscripts, photographs, tape recordings, records, memories and clothes, to name a few.

We had seen little men artificially held up in high places, and great men artificially held down in low places, and our own justice-loving hearts abhorred this violence to human nature. Therefore, we decreed that every man should thenceforth have equal liberty to find his own level. By this very decree we acknowledged and gave freedom to true aristocracy, saying, "Let the best man win, whoever he is." Let the best man win! That is America's word. That is true democracy. And true democracy and true aristocracy are one and the same thing. If anybody cannot see this, so much the worse for his eyesight."

Averted eyes, abruptly ended conversations, unextended offers to include. Such things are scythes across the backs of even the most normal teens. And Naseem, it was generally acknowledged, was not your most normal teen."

And if a man consider the original of this great ecclesiastical dominion, he will easily perceive that the papacy is no other than the ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof: for so did the papacy start up on a sudden out of the ruins of that heathen power."

Kitty knew too well that she had done nothing to beget her father's affection, he had never counted in the house and had been taken for granted, the bread-winner who was a little despised because he could provide no more luxuriously for his family; but she had taken for granted that he loved her just because he was her father, and it was a shock to discover that his heart was empty of feeling for her. She had known that they were all bored by him, but it had never occurred to her that he was equally bored by them. He was as ever kind and subdued, but the sad perspicacity which she had learnt in suffering suggested to her that, though he probably never acknowledged it to himself and never would, in his heart he disliked her."

"Every win that we have, we can take heart from that," Dravid said after India's seven-wicket win at Trent Bridge today.
"We have played well abroad in the last four-five years. We have won everywhere we have toured, won series as well.
"It's been an improvement, even though not probably as quickly as we would have liked and not as emphatically as we would have liked. But these are small steps along the way.
"It's great especially for the younger players who haven't seen international success away from home. That's something that will spur them on and inspire them to do much better."
It was only India's fifth win in 47 Tests they had played in England. Avoiding defeat in the third and final Test at The Oval from August 9 will give them their first series win in 'Old Blighty' in 21 years.
India, although they have had strong batting line ups throughout their history, are not known to play well overseas.
Their 1-0 win in the Caribbean last year was their first - ignoring the 2-0 success over a lowly Zimbabwe in 2005 - outside the sub-continent since Kapil Dev led them to a 2-0 triumph in England in 1986.
Yet, led by Sourav Ganguly, they beat Steve Waugh's Australia in Adelaide before the champions bounced back to level the series in 2003-04.
Then they went on to defeat Pakistan 2-1 the same season, their first-ever victory across the border.
In 2002, Ganguly's side crushed Nasser Hussain's England at Headingley although the series was drawn.
Dravid said these wins had added steel to the team's character. "Whenever we go abroad, everybody expects very little of us in any case," he said with a laugh.
"So every time we perform abroad, it's going to be like we have done something great. But expectations have increased in the last 4-5 years.
"People expect us to come here and perform. And we expect ourselves to come here and perform. We don't come here to be another team."
Dravid pointed out a curious fact that although the team has been tigers on the slow, turning tracks at home, their rare away wins have come in more sporting conditions.
"I have always felt that we have done well when we had the opportunity to take 20 wickets," he said.
"Wherever the conditions give us the chance, we definitely take 20 wickets. Yes, we might lose an odd game but we also win games.
"I have always felt that our best chance is in games where there is definitely going to be a result.
"Sometimes on flat wickets we struggle to take 20 wickets and that puts us on the back foot quickly.
"Even the last time we won here in Headingley, we had the chance to take 20 wickets. All it needs is one good batting performance from us and it sets up the game."
Dravid equated the Trent Bridge win with England's success in Mumbai last year, in terms of satisfaction the two teams should have derived.
"England have a very good record in England. And for us to come here and beat them convincingly is probably as sweet for us as it must have been for them when they beat us in Bombay on the last tour," he said.
Dravid was all praise for man of the match Zaheer Khan who turned the match on its head with a sensational spell on the fourth day.
"It was a great team effort. Zaheer was obviously the star of our bowling. He really showed what a leading bowler must do," the skipper said.
"In these conditions he was asked to put up his hand and he did that. Whenever we expected him to perform he did that.
"On the first day, when we won the toss, Zaheer stood out. Yesterday afternoon, when the game was in a balance, he took the game by the scruff of its neck and delivered."
Zaheer was also at the centre of a sledging controversy. He was seen pointing his bat to Kevin Pietersen while batting on the third evening.
The 28-year-old paceman said later that the England players upset him by throwing jelly bean at the crease and it actually fired him up the next day when he bowled.
"If he is going to do so well every time after he gets upset, I would rather like him to be upset," Dravid said in a lighter vein.
"I've never seen Zaheer so keen and so fired up ... What really gives me great satisfaction is what Zaheer has done with the ball.
"That for me is mental strength. That for me is toughness. That's the kind of toughness that I expect from my team.
"If we can keep putting up these performances in difficult conditions, we can produce a lot more results showing that kind of mental toughness on the field."

Life With a Voice Actor is a commercial segment of It's All Been Done Radio Hour. It was created and written by Samantha Stark on her own, the first recurring part of the show not at least partially developed by creator Jerome Wetzel.
Life With consists of commercials for a reality television show, which premiered on consecutive months in the spring of 2018. Each bit introduces another pair of characters, at least one of whom is a voice actor, and are generally unhappy in their relationship. The episode title is the last name of the couple.
The commercial was originally called The Real Housewives of Voice Actors, but it was renamed to avoid any potential copyright issues.
In January 2020, the characters returned in a full-length segment also penned by Samantha.
- Ben Callihan played by Nick Arganbright. Ben is a man of many, many voices. He switches from sentence to sentence, making it hard to know what his real voice is.
- Victoria Callihan played by Kristin Green. Victoria was enamored with Ben's broad talents when they met and fell in love. Now, after years together, she is over it and finds him extremely annoying.
- Emily Cooper played by Samantha Stark. Emily was a successful voice actor with her own show until she met and married Logan. Then, the producers not only cast him, but killed off her character. She tries very hard not to let her jealousy show.
- Logan Cooper played by Seamus Talty. Logan was accidentally discovered as a voice actor, and has found great success without any effort whatsoever, even starring in a spin-off of his wife's cancelled show. He is oblivious to her feelings about the issue.
- Jerry La Fontaine played by Keith Jackson. Jerry is a talented voice actor who mostly does voice over work, due to his sweet, deep tones. He would like to stretch his abilities, maybe into animation, but his husband won't let him.
- Terry La Fontaine played by Ryan Yohe. Terry is Jerry's manager who closely guards Jerry's tool. He refuses to let Jerry speak unnecessarily and makes all the career decisions for him.

Jourdan Dunn is a woman of many skills. It's no secret that the supermodel has major talents beyond strutting down the catwalks of London to Milan, because the gorgeous model is also known for her amazing cooking skills too.
With the huge success of her online cooking show, 'Well Dunn With Jourdan Dunn', which saw a bevy of showbiz beauties such as Cara Delevingne and Karlie Kloss make cameos, the model has now announced that she will be releasing a cookbook comprised of her favourite recipes. Our bellies are already growling in anticipation – we can't wait!
Forget your basic beans on toast, this is one model who knows how to whip up some seriously tasty dishes. Taking her influences from both Thai and South Aisian food, this model chef's mantra is most definitely the-spicier-the-better.
Jourdan's book release will see her following in the footsteps of other fellow Brit female cooks of the moment such as Nigella Lawson, and everyone's favourite Bake Off star, Mary Berry. So there's really no better time to get inspired and get that mixing bowl out, eh?

The book's release date hasn't yet been announced, but our sources say the catwalk queen is currently penning it as we speak. We'll keep you posted when we get word of when the book will be dropping to make sure you're first in line when it does!
The model is well on her way to creating a cooking empire, but we just have one lingering question, Jourdan… Are you inviting any guests over for dinner? We don't mind doing the dishes!

Just because you're heading to the Lake District in Cumbria, doesn't mean you have to lace up your boots and wear your waterproofs. No. In fact, there are plenty of non hiking Lake District activities for those who are looking for something a little more unusual (and who wish to avoid the deluge of rain that makes the region such a lush shade of green).
Explore all the Little Towns and Villages
The Lake District is much more than rolling hills and plenty of rain. In fact, there are plenty of cute little towns and villages dotted about the region, just waiting to be explored. Some of my favourites include Keswick and Consiton. Many of these settlements are also home to cafés, pubs and quirky shops. Some villages, such as Coniston, even have museums and historic houses to visit.
Sample local food and drink
The ever-popular 'sticky toffee pudding' (a concoction of dates, butter, and sugar among other things- heaven!) was invented in the Lake District. Other regional specialties include Kendal Mint Cake, Rum butter (yes, butter made with actual rum) and Grasmere gingerbread.
Go shopping for local produce
And while we're on the subject of food, the Lake District is home to plenty of local produce. From the countless farmer's markets held throughout the week in various villages in the region, to the locally sourced food in the area's eateries, there's local produce to be found everywhere!

Take part in water sports
As its name suggests, the Lake District is full of bodies of water (though whether they should be called 'lakes' is open to debate). In fact, almost all of the 'lakes' are actually called 'waters', 'meres' or 'tarns' in the case of smaller areas of water. Only one body of water is actually called lake, that of Bassenthwaite Lake. On many of the larger waters and meres in the region, you'll find sailing clubs and the opportunity to kayak or canoe.
Rent a bike and try some cycling
In many of the towns and villages dotted around the Lake District, you'll have the opportunity to rent bicycles. Although much of the region is best explored on foot (many of the hills are way too steep for cycling), some of the waters and meres are a great location to cycle around.
Soak up some history in all of the museums and historic houses
Of all the non hiking Lake District activities, one of my favourites has got to be checking out all of the museums dotted around the region. In the Lake District, you'll find a wide range of historic homes and musuems, including that of Beatrix Potter.
Experience some of the Quirky Architecture
And while we're talking about historic houses and museums, there's quirky architecture to be found everywhere. One of the most unusual sites to see in the Lake District is the Bridge House in Ambleside. Situated in the cute little town, the Bridge House dates all the way back to the 17th-Century and is well worth a look (and a visit for free if you're around on the right day!)
