Earlier this month, I reviewed Patricia McArdle's wonderful new book, Farishta. Farishta has won acclaim, and was named as the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel in the general fiction category.
Last week, I asked Patricia some questions about her career in the Foreign Service, the challenges she faced as a woman, and the changes that she has seen over the years. Here's what she had to say.
How did you decide to apply for the Foreign Service?
Right after graduating from the University of New Mexico, I joined the Peace Corps. Since I already spoke Spanish, I was trained in the Guarani language and sent to Paraguay for a two year stint as a health educator. I
was assigned to work alone in a remote village that had no electricity, no running water, dirt roads, and one phone shared by the entire town. In September 1972, soon after we arrived in country, our little group of volunteers was taken to the U.S. Embassy for a briefing on local politics by a young American diplomat. At the end of his presentation, he asked how many of us were going to take the Foreign Service exam in December. None of us had ever heard of this exam and it had certainly never entered our minds that we could actually become diplomats. After he explained the process, three of us filled out the applications. Several months later, on the day before the exam, the roads into my village were closed to vehicular traffic after a huge rainstorm. I borrowed a horse from a neighbor and rode twelve miles down to the main road to catch a bus. I was the only one who made it into Asuncion that year for the exam, although I didn't pass. Following my Peace Corps service, I joined the U.S. Navy. After several more tries, I finally did pass the Foreign Service exam and joined the diplomatic corps in 1979. I was also inspired to write a short story based on that first F.S. exam in Paraguay.
During your career in the Foreign Service, were there challenges you faced as a woman and, if so, how did you deal with them?
Until 1972, female diplomats who married had to resign from the Foreign Service. When I entered in 1979, the Department of State was still a heavily male dominated institution with very few women in the senior ranks. My two years in the Peace Corps gave me some credibility with my male diplomatic colleagues, but it was my three years of service as a U.S. Naval officer in Morocco that made the biggest difference in how I was perceived. Even with my overseas experience however, it was still an uphill struggle for quite a few years to prove myself. Some female diplomats survived by becoming as tough and aggressive as the most ambitious men and for some that tactic worked. My management style developed during my four years in the Navy was firm but collaborative. In the Navy (where women in the regular officer ranks were also a new phenomenon) I found that this method, won the respect of my fellow officers and the enlisted men under my command. In the Foreign Service it eventually led to my promotion into the senior ranks of the Department of State.
What types of changes have you seen in the Foreign Services structures to accommodate women and two career couples?
The Department of State has come a long way in the last thirty years toward becoming a family-friendly workplace. Although it is still quite challenging for both male and female Foreign Service Officers to pack up their families every few years and move to a different country, structures are now in place to ease these difficult transitions. Dual postings for married Foreign Service Officers are standard. Employment for non-F.S. spouses and partners, who accompany diplomats overseas, is facilitated by U.S. embassies and consulates. Many more women are reaching the senior ranks (we've now had three female Secretaries of State) and the type of rank discrimination I experienced thirty years ago, simply because I was a woman, is happily a thing of the past.
If you were starting your career over, would you still choose the Foreign Service?
Absolutely. It was a fascinating career.
Are there other international institutions that you could recommend to young women who want to work overseas?
I strongly recommend two years with the Peace Corps for young women no matter what their long term career plans are. It really is 'the toughest job you'll ever love' and it changed me forever. I also found my four years in the U.S. Navy to be rewarding and challenging. USAID, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Commerce all have Foreign Service components. Many U.S. companies have offices overseas, although most now hire locals to run those offices. There are also many private volunteer activities for those willing to go overseas without the kind of safety net provided by the U.S. government or large corporations. I urge any young women who want to work overseas to start studying one or even two foreign languages as early as possible.

"Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to"
This two-day workshop is aimed at graduates who have been fast-tracked into the world of work, where they are expected to make a difference to the business.
Graduates straight from university often face a personal imbalance when they join the real world. They display the intelligence and knowledge they have spent the past years acquiring, but don't have the life-skills needed to: transfer this knowledge to others, to put their ideas across, get people onside or to demonstrate their place in the hierarchy. This workshop fills this skills gap and helps graduates to become more rounded participants within the workplace.
Day 1 is about adopting a consultancy approach to win a hearing, encouraging delegates to be able to put their ideas to others in a way that can be accepted. Graduates need to be able to improve their ability to influence others in the business and manage the impression that others have of them.
Day 2 takes things a step further, learning about using tools and strategies to deliver a solution. Graduates need to build their ability to take advantage of a situation and deliver a solution that improves the business by taking a strategic approach to problem solving. It's also about knowing where and how to use a variety of different process tools and finally, how to communicate the results and ensure they are fed back into the business

Leather Chef Knife Rolls
A hand crafted custom 10-slot knife roll with a 5 X 18" inside pocket starts at $795.00 plus S&H. I ask for a 50% deposit to start, but I am happy to take payments after that if desired. Chef rolls are made entirely of full-grain premium leather that has undergone the ancient and timely craft of vegetable tanning which uses woods, barks, fruits, fruit pods and leaves.
The inside of LK rolls are lined with a soft and sturdy suede that protects your knives. It also has a leather flap that falls over the knives for added protection. When fully open the roll measures 25.5" X 18".
The entire roll is hand stitched with waxed linen using a technique that can't be mimicked by a machine. The hardware (including the rivets) is solid brass. It will have a handle sewn to the top as well as an adjustable shoulder strap that adjusts with a brass buckle and attaches to the roll with brass swivel snaps (silver hardware is available as well if you prefer). I can also stain the roll to your desired shade and burn in initials or a quote at the base price.
Knife rolls are my most laborious pieces so I would need about 8-12 weeks to complete your roll. Most of the rolls on my site do have artwork and range from $850-1,500.
"The Butcher's Roll" with the pig burnt into the front sells for $895. Adding the cow and chicken brings it to $1050.

Imagine for a second. Your first date with your new flame is in a job interview setting. How would it go? Daniel Audritt has made a very nice and funny skit about this. Movie can be found under this text. I also used Dutch subtitles for you. This has been done using Adobe Premiere CC 2017.
Anyhow …
In reality, of course we do not do something like that. But imagine that we did do something like this. You would then be aware of the curriculum beforehand. Who does not want a relationship with someone where the luggage is not that heavy. You can then set up a selection procedure. After which you eventually make a choice between two people.
Facebook groups
If you are a member of several Facebook pages, you also see that relational situations are shared by many women. Sometimes you read the most terrible stories after which the person (who shares it anonymously) asks for tips. You can think of abuse, cheating, partners who gamble or financial problems. It might be easy for an outsider to say that you can run away like that. But is that usually the right solution? Maybe not. Everyone has a baggage. Being in a relationship you can ensure that both persons can reinforce each other and the weight of that baggage will (hopefully) decrease. A relationship without problems and jealousy do not exist. You always have to try to find the middle way. But if it really does not work after several attempts, then leaving him may be the best option.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Ezekiel Elliott marched for 147 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries as the Dallas Cowboys defeated the San Francisco 49ers 40-10 Sunday at Levi Stadium.
Elliott also managed to catch a 72-yard pass for a touchdown, his only catch of the game.
The U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York granted Elliott a temporary restraining on his six-game suspension from the NFL. The second-year running back took advantage of it with a 1-yard touchdown to help the Cowboys (3-3) take an early 7-0 lead over San Francisco (0-7).
Elliott later galloped for a 25-yard score to give the Cowboys a 14-0 edge after a 49ers three-and-out. He later caught a 72-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dak Prescott, who finished going 16-of-25 for 234 yards and three touchdowns.
Rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard made his first career start, completing 22-of-38 for 235 and rushing five times for 30 yards and a touchdown. The Dallas defense harassed him all day with five sacks. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence reclaimed the league lead with nine total sacks when he sacked Beathard on a second-and-goal from the Cowboys 5-yard line with 46 seconds until halftime. Lawrence forced a fumble and recovered it at the San Francisco 19-yard line to wipe out the 49ers' chance for points.
Dallas tight end Jason Witten hauled in an 18-yard, one-handed catch for Dallas to increase their lead 20-3 over San Francisco with 10:33 in the second quarter. The touchdown moved Witten into third place all-time on the Cowboys receiving touchdown list with 66 grabs, one ahead of Hall-of-Fame receiver Michael Irvin. Teammate Dez Bryant also moved up the ranks with a 2-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter that tied him with Hall-of-Famer receiver Bob Hayes for the most receiving touchdowns in Cowboys history.
Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey strained his groin in the second quarter, forcing safety Jeff Heath to try extra points and handle kickoff duties. Heath hit two extra points, becoming the first non-specialist to make multiple extra points since 1980 when Houston Oilers linebacker Ted Thompson went 4-of-4.
Dallas Cowboys 40
San Francisco 49ers 10
Summary — The Dallas run game gained 265 yards and the defense and special teams produced a 49ers turnover apiece as the Cowboys prevailed 40-10.
Turning point — Lawrence's sack-fumble on second-and-goal from the Dallas 5-yard line. San Francisco was driving to pull within 10 before halftime, and the turnover wiped away points whatsoever.
Stat — Elliott tallied 190 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns on 19 first-down touches.
NFL Week 7 Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers
Cowboys – 14 6 13 7 40
49ers – 3 0 0 7 10
First quarter
DAL — Elliott 1 run (Bailey kick), 12:42

Success Stories
Buy One, Give One: Shopping for Charity
Companies Do Well, and Do Good, by Making Donations When You Buy
Building on the "buy one, get one free" or "BOGO" model that's a popular way to attract shoppers, a number of for-profit companies are adding a charitable twist: Rather than get one free, consumers can give one to a person in need.
TOMS shoes popularized this approach in 2006, when it promised to match every pair of shoes it sold with the donation of a new pair of shoes to a child in need. Since then, the Los Angeles-based company says it has given more than 35 million pairs of new shoes to children in more than 60 countries—from Argentina to Zambia.
This new take on cause-related marketing has inspired a wave of like-minded startups. These entrepreneurs are helping to meet some of the most basic needs, from backpacks to toothbrushes, in underprivileged communities worldwide.
Although it is difficult to measure the impact of these efforts on sales, the owners say it helps to grow their businesses. In fact, nine out of ten consumers indicated they would opt for a brand associated with a social or environmental benefit if given the choice, according to a 2013 study by Cone Communications and Echo Research.
Meet five of the entrepreneurs who have jumped on the BOGO bandwagon.
Smile Squared
In the summer of 2010, Eric and Geri Cope traveled with a humanitarian organization to Guatemala, where they assisted with dental clinics in orphanages and community centers. While teaching basic oral hygiene to children, they realized that many didn't have toothbrushes. The couple parlayed this insight into a buy one, give one business: Smile Squared.
Consumers can find the company's toothbrushes, made with either bamboo or plastic handles, in a variety of
boutiques, grocery stores and other retailers nationwide. For each toothbrush sold, another will be donated to one of the company's nonprofit partners to support dental programs across the United States and in 20 other countries. The company, which is based in St. Louis, says it has distributed more than 100,000 toothbrushes to date.
Geri Cope says the business is thriving. "We have a competitive price, the same quality, and we give," she says. "That's our differentiator."
STATE Bags
Scot and Jacq Tatelman founded a nonprofit overnight summer camp in 2009 to serve kids growing up in three low-income Brooklyn neighborhoods. The husband-and-wife team noticed that some children were bringing their belongings in trash bags. This led them to start a BOGO-type for-profit company, STATE Bags, which promises to give a backpack to a needy child for each one sold.
The company partners with schools and nonprofits, including Beyonce's BeyGood, to hand-deliver bags to children at inspirational rallies where, Scot Tatelman says, it's less about "giving kids stuff" and more about building up their self-esteem.
The bags that customers purchase are anything but bare bones, ranging from $55 to $225. Many customers purchase the bags for their stylish details, classic fabrics, and custom hardware, Tatelman says. "People see our mission as an added bonus."
SoapBox Soaps
In 2009, David Simnick was a subcontractor for the United States Agency for International Development, working to improve water supplies, sanitation and hygiene in developing countries. He learned that in many places in the world the residents did not have enough soap.
"Washing hands with soap is the most cost-effective public health act," he says. It can prevent conditions that are especially harmful to young children, such as diarrhea and acute respiratory diseases. Simnick began making batches of soap in his kitchen.
In 2012, he founded SoapBox Soaps in Washington, D.C. Its products are now sold in grocery, drug and department stores. For every bar of soap it sells, the company says it donates about 15 percent of profits to give either soap or vitamin supplements, or helps to provide fresh water, to needy communities in a dozen countries.
Simnick says he was concerned that his donations could take away business from local soap makers in developing countries. So instead of sending it from the United States, his company sources soap from companies in the communities it serves.
People Water
The action sports enthusiasts who founded People Water in 2010 began with a simple idea: selling bottled spring water to consumers and donating a portion of the profits to drill wells in needy communities. "Our mission has always been to provide clean water," says Blake Nyman, the director of business development and social missions.
The company, based in Pleasant Grove, Utah, helps create new sources of water through its "Drop for Drop" program: For every bottle sold, it provides an equal amount of clean water to communities around the world by building and restoring local wells. Nyman says this has been a learning experience. For example, after hearing that many wells built by nonprofits in remote locations stopped working because of natural corrosion and mechanical issues, the team decided to fund sustainable well restoration and water purification, as well as their initial well-drilling projects.
During the last three years, People Water has worked with seven international aid groups on clean water projects, providing an estimated 6 million gallons of clean water. "Being able to sell more water means more profits," Nyman says, "which means more donations."
Three years ago, a group of recent college grads in Washington, D.C. decided they wanted to imitate the TOMS model, with a focus on eyes rather than on feet.
Panda Sunglasses—a name chosen because of the animal's association with bamboo plants—sells high-end sunglasses made from bamboo. For every pair of Panda glasses sold, the company provides a person in need with a medical eye exam and a pair of prescription glasses through its partnership with Optometry Giving Sight, a global nonprofit that works in needy communities.
Vincent Ko, head of development at Panda, says he believes that Panda's social mission makes a difference to many customers. He says the buyers of their sunglasses range from fashion-conscious consumers who like the aesthetic, to ecological customers who approve of the bamboo, to purchasers who care about "the gift of vision."

Talkie talkie talkie
So a friend of mine supplied me with tickets to the Dallas Stars hockey game last night. She left four tickets for me at the the arena. So Ninsi, Reptile, and I went to the game last night. The fourth ticket was left unused. They were very nice seats. I had never been to a hockey game before, but it was a good time. I probably would enjoy it a lot more if I understood the rules. I may have to work on that if I plan to go again.
The only downside to the whole thing was one of the girls that sat in front of us. She was cute, but spent the entire match talking to her friend. Constantly. Non-stop. She had one of the guys with them fetch her a pizza at some point, and I thought that she might stop talking long enough to eat that. But no, she just talked right through the eating. She did not really detract from the game, but she was seriously annoying at times.
Ninsi and I head back to the gym tonight after taking a month off for the holidays. I lost over ten pounds last calendar year. Im pretty much at a good weight now. Just maintenance from here on out.
Stupid five day work weeks. Give me four 10-hour days. Please.

User Review( votes)
- For the romesco sauce:
- 24g skin-on almonds, toasted
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
- 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 slice of stale white bread, torn up (crusts are perfect)
- ½ red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 large tomato, peeled, deseeded and chopped
- 90g roasted red peppers from a jar
- Good handful of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- For the toasts:
- 500g tenderstem broccoli
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted
- 120g ricotta
- 4-6 slices sourdough bread, toasted
- Prepare the romesco sauce by placing all the ingredients in a food processor and blitzing until they are combined but still have texture. Season with ground black pepper. Reserve 80g for the rest of the recipe – it makes a generous amount so save leftovers in a jar in the fridge with some extra virgin olive oil on top of the sauce to seal its freshness.
- Heat a large griddle pan over a medium heat. Brush the tenderstem with oil and butter and arrange across the base of the pan. Allow to char for approximately 4 minutes either side until tender and each piece has deep char marks. If you would prefer your tenderstem even more tender, add a splash of water to the pan and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes.
- Spread each slice of sourdough toast with a 1 tbsp ricotta and top with the charred tenderstem, a tablespoon of romesco sauce and toasted almonds.

Soulja Boy to Bring Online Poker to USA
Join 888Poker now for FREE! Click here!
The American rapper Soulja Boy is set to bring online poker to the USA via his poker and entertainment business World Poker Fund Holdings (WPFH). As the company prepares to expand into the online gaming sector he's hired Martin Owens to advise.
Owens has joined the company as chief advisor of the WPFH Online and Interactive Gaming Committee. One of the main tasks of the Committee is to look at ways in which they can build relationships with Native American tribes in order to help with the development of online poker and iGaming platforms under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).
If they're successful these relationships will be a two way street for both parties involved. The Native American tribes will help WPFH reach their objectives and in return the company are offering to help raise funds for the tribes to petition for federal recognition and to help them establish casino operations.
Gambling is a big part of Native American culture so they've opened up their own casinos in California and other parts of the USA. California is the fastest growing Indian gaming sector so it's not surprising that gambling companies are wanting to get in on the action as there's definitely a market for it.
Building relationships with the Native American tribes is just a stepping stone for WPFH who are ultimately planning to offer online poker to California once regulation passes.
At the moment, gambling, in general is banned in California but they're considering two bills that would regulate online poker but other casino games would remain illegal. If any of these bills get passed it will be a good day for Californian poker players and it will also open doors for the poker industry as they'll be able to expand into a brand new market which will be the case for WPFH if all goes well.
Owens is well up to the job. He's a lawyer by trade and has specialised in online gaming law since 1998. He's also the co-author of Internet Gaming Law, an associate editor of Gaming Law Review and Economics, and a contributing editor to TheSportsNetwork.com.
The players, the technology and the platforms are all coming together nicely. They're currently working on developing land-based multi-table poker tournaments for specially selected players. The poker tournament will initially be non-cash, but then players will get to compete for real cash tournaments sponsored by WPFH.
What's even more exciting is that they have also brought the fun and the excitement of poker to our TV screens. They've licensed poker-themed reality TV shows such as America Loves Poker and Poker Boss and they co-own the World Poker Channel and the LookHu.com streaming service.
If you fancy catching some poker action on the TV then make sure you check out the TV shows. You can expect famous celebrities on the televised tournaments such as TV personality Cladia Jordan, the American football player De'Anthony Thomas, Miss Vietnam Michelle Wu and music producer Poo Bear. Who wouldn't want to see their favourite celebrity play poker on the TV?

Meanwhile, someone like Lonestar can either level-up his dynamite throw to become a bot-killing machine, or level-up his charging bull technique to become a master of defending turrets. Each of the six characters have multiple leveling paths that change their utility. The best part about this is that all of these disparate paths are well-balanced. Every character is the most powerful character in the game when doing what that class is intended to do.
No matter what you pick, each character has a bevy of customization options, and players who have a plan for their upgrades will emerge with a significant battlefield advantage over players who buy abilities at random.
Moreover, each character has a great personality. From mid-90's R&B-themed Froggy G (who has his own slow-jam) to Yuri, the cosmonaut space-monkey with a jetpack, each character is well-realized and full of charm.
While we enjoyed practically every moment we spent with this game, there are a few negatives to mention. First off, there are only a few levels, and they're not very different from one another. Some levels have different turret placements, and one level has a giant one-hit-kill sand worm in the center. However, that's about as different as they come. The maps are well-balanced though and that's what's most important. Truth be told, we could have spent our entire play time on one single map and it wouldn't have mattered much simply because the base game is so much fun.
It's also not a particularly deep game. This is not a game designed to be played for months or years like League of Legends. There are plenty of unlocks to work toward and the lure of getting access to new characters spurs you on for five hours or so. Getting to the max level takes probably 15 hours.
Awesomenauts is a great game if you're not a hardcore MOBA fan, and in fact, while it's not long, it's a good entry point for console gamers new to the genre. Hardcore genre fans will probably rather stick to more complex, nuanced games like LoL and SMNC, but Awesomenauts is a great alternative for everybody else. It's not as deep as other titles in the genre, but it's the perfect game to enjoy for a good weekend of gaming.

Messages in Bottles
September 10, 2012
You can't write about flotsam and jetsam without coming across a message in a bottle or two. When I was researching Tracking Trash, I came across quite a few, including the one pictured here. It was collected by beachcomber John Anderson near his Forks, Washington home and like all bottle messages, it has stories to tell. There are the personal stories, of course: who launched the bottle and why? who found the bottle and how? And then there are the stories of its oceanic movement: how far did the bottle drift between its launch and its discovery?
The possibilities in these stories thrill me.
Which is why I was so intrigued by news of a new 'oldest message in a bottle', as verified by the Guinness Book of World Records. There are ninety-eight years of stories in that bottle, launched in the North Sea on June 10, 1914 and found by a skipper in Scotland earlier this year. Here's a bit of its personal story, and here's a look at some of the science.
Cool stuff, no?

Shivaay's Tere Naal Ishqa Is Soul-Stirring
After Darkhaast, Raatein and Bolo Har Har Har, Ajay Devgn's Tere Naal Ishqa is multi-layered song and captures the essence of the father-daughter relationship
The 4th track of Ajay Devgn's Shivaay, Tere Naal Ishqa, is here and it's heart-wrenchingly beautiful. The soul quenching lyrics, the picturisation, all add to the mood of the number, which features Ajay and Sayyeshaa Saigal. It is the perfect ode to the father-daughter relationship.
The song is composed by Mithoon and Kailash Kher and lyrics have been penned by Sayeed Quadri. You can see that Kailash has poured his soul into the song and when he strikes the high notes, you are left mesmerised.
Take this line for example: Tere Naal Ishqa Mera, Tere Naal Ishqa Mera, Lagda Ibaadat Warga, Tere Naal Ishqa Mera Mera. The transition of the singer's voice as well as the instruments leave an impact.
Shivaay starring actors Ajay and Sayyeshaa is an action thriller, produced and directed by Devgn.

July 26, 2009, Jim Welch built a hybrid biochar burner in my backyard. His design emerged from my suggestion to put a rocket stove under a 2-barrel nested retort. This separates the burner from the retort, so fuelwood doesn't get packed in a tight space between two barrels.
Results exceeded our expectations, and astonished us how much energy is released from 30 gallons of biomass. Our first effort to apply this new idea was quite promising, but we faced serious challenges to harness this pyrolysis dragon.
New Designs
Over winter, we developed ideas to upgrade Jim's creative contraption of spare parts and scrap pieces. We need to control the pyrolysis processŚways to slow the rate of gasification and lengthen its time. We must use all the heat released. My priority is to heat a farm production greenhouse.
Jim scaled down to a smaller 5-gallon retort design for his backyard. His unit is portable, so Jim took it to Saratoga Apple, the Permaculture Convergence and other places for some enchanting demos in our biochar workshops.
I stuck with a 30-gallon nested retort, since large volumes of char are needed for field-size test plots. And my goal is a unit big enough to heat a farm production greenhouse. This means a bigger rocket stove firebox to crank out more heat in a fast, furious fire to kick off pyrolysis quickly, reliably. Once a flammable gas jet is initiated, only a small fire is needed to sustain ignitionŚa pyrolysis pilot light.
I chose to build this bigger burner underground, first to insulate the stove and raise combustion temperatures. But also to minimize its wind profile and reduce effects of gusts such as backfire, uneven burnŚeven burner snuff-out. Working outdoors, I can minimizeŚbut not eliminateŚwind disturbances, while our goal is to build a unit to burn indoors, safe from tricky winds.
This meant digging a hole. I planned to build this bigger, better rocket stove here at Turtle EyeLand Sanctuary in East Greenbush, NY. But circumstance conspired to convince me Saratoga Apple in Schuylerville, NY is the safer, more secure and useful place to install this experiment.
Saratoga Apple has an abundance of 4x8x16-inch blocks to build the rocket stove. Saratoga Apple also has an abundance of black locust and apple woodŚand apple is as dense as oak, maple and black locust. When I added up layers of block and number of inches, my hole was 24 inches deep, perhaps 30 inches square.
Rocket Stove Construction
Digging commenced Sunday, May 25. I hadn't done serious mattock and shovel work for five years. I quickly discovered I was chopping out heavy clay. Quite hard physical therapy for my broken back and toothpick muscles, plus bending over into a 2-foot hole for four daysŚvery therapeutic lower back stretch. And all that sunshine on my back. I sweat so much I almost stopped peeing.
The clay is dense, essentially impermeable. I found 12 earthworms in 10 cubic feet. I realized my hole needed a sump, in case it rains 8 inches, or someone dumps gallons of water in my firebox. So, one air port became a sump to pump out any water, and I packed pea gravel under and around the two blocks at the bottom of the burn chamber. However, this caused me to twist my base blocks 45 degrees to accomodate the 6-inch sump and vertical access pipe.
Another challenge is to fashion a firebox that generates a spiral vortex flow of air, gas and flames. First, this increases the mixing of air and gas for more thorough combustion with a rapid, hot, smokeless burn. But also, a longer flame path holds more heat in the kiln to boost temperatures and improve thermal efficiency. A circular flame path around the firebox and retort is better than bottom-to-top vertical combustion outflow.
A whirlwind in a barrel.
To create this circular flow, I designed a 4-sided firebox with a 4-inch space between each right-angled block. Air enters the firebox from these four ports at the corners, in a tangent to the radius. This encourages a clockwise circular flow from periphery into the center, rather than an immediate upward linear flow.
Since this firebox is 20 inches underground, stovepipe lines four slanted tunnels to deliver air to the four ports at the corners of the firebox. Combustion can be adjusted by opening and closing these air ports.
During gasification, a small fire is needed as a "pilot light" to ignite pyrolysis gases and vapors expelled from the retort. So, a narrow throat is needed to steadily feed wood to the combustion chamber.
Thus, one air tunnel is a throat to feed fuelwood to the firebox, and is wide enoughŚ6 inchesŚto accept large sticks. The sumpŚat opposite corner of the fireboxŚis also 6-inch stovepipe. The other two air ports are 4-inch pipe; a second pipe was added to increase volume and control flow.
Above the 4-sided firebox is a larger, 5-sided "swirl chamber"Ś8 inches high, formed by five blocks on edge. The larger space encourages more swirling and turbulence in the expanding flow of gas and air. Five is a natural symmetry to generate exponential spiralsŚbest known as PHI, the Divine Ratio, more popular today as The Davinci Code.
A small test fire at this stage of construction demonstrated effective performance. A pile of crumpled newspaper and dry, split kindling wood burned fiercely with the kiln barrel and one length of chimney. Even with 4-inch airports on the sides closed, air supply to flames two feet underground was more than generous.
The next ring of blocks are laid face-up rather than on their long edge. These blocks are contact points to support the 55-gallon kiln barrel, so their placement is fixed by the barrel diameter.
This layer is the work deck for loading and unloading barrels and fueling the rocket stove, so it must be very solid to remain stable
under heavy use.
This layer also has two metal bars to support the 30-gallon retort. Spacing between the two barrels and the inner edges of the blocks is tightŚthree or four inchesŚand requires careful, precise placement. This task is complicated by fitting these blocks around the stovepipe for the two side air ports.
The sticky, dense clay soil was useful as mortar to lock these blocks in position, and seal the combustion chamber from leaks of air and water. Clay was screened into a bucket, then mixed gradually with water until a thick paste formed. This was plastered under and around all the blocks, and in all joints and gaps in the construction. This heavy paste was also plastered all around the stovepipe air ports to reduce rainwater penetration into the firebox. The edges of this clay sealed area was filled with coarse sand to assure water drainage away from the stove.
Two more low temperature test fires again showed excellent combustion. The third test included closing the sump air port, and adding a few branches of dense applewood to the pile of fuel, which burned rapidly in a crackling hot fire as a cone of red flame shot out the top of the kiln barrel. Clearly the rocket stove will generate the needed volume of heat and high temperature to kick the 30-gallon barrel into pyrolysis.
However, the rocket stove may burn too fast to get pyrolysis started. At least 20 minutesŚperhaps 30Śof heating are usually required to initiate gasification, and all three burns were shorter. The principal variable affecting the time required for the onset of gas flaring is the amount of moisture in the feedstock. The drier the feedstock, the fast gasification begins. I expect adding a few inches of applewood on top of the kindling will yield a longer, adequate burn, with lots of coals. But other methods may be needed to prolong the fuelwood burn time.
With kiln barrel in place, a ring of 1-inch thick cinderbrick paving tiles were positioned radially around the bottom of the barrel to clasp this lower edge and help seal the air gap between barrel and blocks. The entire work zone around these paving tiles will be filled with coarse sand for firm footing and easy drainage.

S. A. An-sky's novel dramatizes the dilemmas of Jewish young people in late Tsarist Russia as they strive to throw off their traditional religious upbringing to adopt a secular and modern identity. The action unfolds in the town of M. in the Pale of Settlement, where an engaging cast of characters wrestles with cultural and social issues. Their exploits culminate in helping a young Jewish woman evade an arranged marriage and a young Russian woman leave home so she can pursue her studies at a European university. This startling novel reveals the tensions and triumphs of coming of age in a revolutionary time.
S. A. An-sky, pseudonym of Shloyme-Zanvl Rapoport (1863-1920), was a Russian Jewish writer, ethnographer, and cultural and political activist. He is best known today for his play The Dybbuk.
Michael R. Katz is C. V. Starr Professor Emeritus of Russian and East European Studies at Middlebury College. He is author of Dreams and the Unconscious in Nineteenth-Century Russian Fiction and is translator of a dozen Russian novels, including works by Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky.
"Pioneers demonstrates An-sky's sharp eye for detail, his clear gaze–frankly sympathetic though often ironic--at these provincial Jews . . . This book is unique in offering in English this sort of picture of the experiences of an important generation of Russian Jews. . . . A unique work of art and an important document of its time."
— Gabriella Safran, author of Wandering Soul: The Dybbuk's Creator, S. An-sky
"Katz has done a fine job preserving the multi-lingual environment and conveying the speech of those heder boys now turned into messengers of enlightenment and radicalism . . . pulling from his translator's toolbox the appropriate instrument to render into English the twang of the Russian-Yiddish-Hebrew creole."
— Brian Horowitz, author of Empire Jews: Jewish Nationalism and Acculturation in 19th- and Early 20th-Century Russia
"Michael R. Katz's translation renders another Russian literary gem into fluid and lively English. . . . The publication of Pioneers in English . . . appears at an auspicious moment, for readers today may be more receptive than ever to narratives that convey the richness, complexity, and diversity of Jewish life in times of dynamic and decisive change. "
— Marginalia
"An-sky brilliantly captures a week in the life of young Jewish intellectuals fleeing their tiny villages to find the possibility of personal growth in larger towns where the enlightenment has begun to work its way. "

Mick Malthouse is one of the greatest, if not the greatest coach in football history……well at least Collingwood supporters think so, which is part of the reason he's been immortalised in bronze.
He's taken the Pies' arch-rivals Carlton to 18th on the ladder, and now Mick's statue stands outside his former office at Princes Park with the message 'For services to Collingwood 2013-2015'.
On behalf of Collingwood fans everywhere, Sportsbet have ensured Malthouse's legacy will remain at Carlton in some form for many more years to come.
The statue is set to become a must-see attraction for Magpies fans who are forever grateful for what their hero has achieved for the Pies, by being at the Carlton Football Club.
"By taking the Magpies' fierce rival Carlton to the bottom of the ladder, Malthouse has further etched his name into Collingwood folklore. He probably deserves a medal from Pies fans, but a statue will have to do," said sportsbet.com.au's Christian Jantzen.

New Global Campaign Calls for Universal Access to Female Condoms
A new global campaign has been launched to push for universal access to female condoms as part of an accelerated and comprehensive response to prevent the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and to reduce unintended pregnancies worldwide. Known as Prevention Now!, the campaign. WHO Reports Favorably on Second-Generation Female Condom; Decision Clears Way for Global Uptake August 14, 2006 - The Prevention Now! Campaign today hailed the World Health Organization's (WHO) announcement that the FC2 Female Condom has met international standards as a woman-initiated dual protection method against HIV/STI infection and unintended pregnancy. The announcement clears the way for its inclusion in UNFPA's Essential Products list and signals to national health ministries and international aid agencies that the FC2 Female Condom can be immediately purchased and integrated into national HIV prevention programs.
A Condom Could Save Your Life!
The surest way to avoid these diseases is to not have sex altogether (abstinence). Another way is to limit sex to one partner who also limits his or her sex in the same way (monogamy). Condoms are not 100% safe, but if used properly, will reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. Protecting yourself against the AIDS virus is of special concern becuase this disease is fatal and has no cure. About two-thirds of the people with AIDS in the United States got the disease during sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Experts believe that many of these people could have avoided the disease by using condoms. Condoms are used for both birth control and reducing the risk of disease. That's why some people think that other forms of birth control -- such as the IUD, diaphragm, cervical cap or pill -- will protect them against diseases, too. But that's not true. So if you use any other form of birth control, you still need a condom in addition to reduce the risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases.
How to Use a Condom
Currently, condoms are the only widely available, proven method for reducing transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during intercourse. Organizations around the world recommend condom use for the prevention of pregnancy and HIV/STIs. The American Social Health Association (ASHA) supports the promotion and use of male latex condoms to limit the spread of sexually transmitted infections and their harmful consequences. Condoms are effective when people use them correctly and consistently. The surest way to avoid transmission of STIs is to abstain from sexual intercourse or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is not infected with any sexually transmitted infections.

Twelve architects compete over Zouhouri mosque reconstruction
Twelve architectural firms have expressed interest in the Zouhouri mosque reconstruction, Larnaca Mayor Andreas Vyras has told CNA.
In total, 12 architectural firms have responded to a call for tenders announced by Larnaca Municipality. They have submitted architectural plans and completed studies for the reconstruction of the Zouhouri mosque and the entire building bloc, Vyras said.
He explained that a committee which is presided by the municipality's architect and comprising representatives of the Department of Antiquities, Urban Planning Department, the University of Cyprus, the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber and the Cyprus Architects Association, has started reviewing the twelve proposals since May 21st, the deadline set for the submission of tenders.
The winner of the competition, Vyras said, will be awarded with the amount of Euros 15,000. Second and third runners up will receive Euros 10,000 and Euros 5,000 respectively, he added.
The results will be announced on June 13, which is also when the call for the construction work tenders will be published.
The cost of reconstruction is estimated at 2.2 million plus VAT and it is expected to be raised by European Funds.
The Zouhouri mosque is considered to be one of the most important ancient monuments of Larnaca.

Good to see my pal Mark Krikorian fighting back against the thugs at the SPLC:
One of the most prominent groups advocating for stricter immigration went to court Wednesday to demand a judge order the Southern Poverty Law Center to stop labeling it a "hate group," accusing the self-described watchdog of running an illegal racket to silence political opponents.
The Center for Immigration Studies says the SPLC's accusations that it is racist and anti-immigrant are wrong and have cost the nonprofit support and financial backing by scaring people away from doing business with the center.
The center brought its challenge to U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by filing a civil complaint under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act against SPLC President Richard Cohen and Heidi Beirich, who runs the group's Hatewatch blog.
Mark Krikorian, the Center for Immigration Studies executive director, says his organization doesn't meet the SPLC's definition of a hate group and the Alabama-based watchdog knows it but persists anyway — which he said was evidence of the racket. "SPLC and its leaders have every right to oppose our work on immigration, but they do not have the right to label us a hate group and suggest we are racists," he said. "The Center for Immigration Studies is fighting back against the SPLC smear campaign and its attempt to stifle debate through intimidation and name-calling."
Good for Mark. Decent people need to stand up against this kind of bullying, especially when the outfit accusing others of hate is, itself, a hate group.
I appeared on my friend Sebastian Gorka's new radio show yesterday, to discuss things political. Here's the audio:
I made the point, as I often do on Twitter, that the New York Times is the locus of Leftist power and influence in America, and that, "If you break the Times, you break the Left." Look for Seb and me to continue this discussion in the near future.
I will be on DC's WMAL with my old friend Larry O'Connor at 4:30 PM Eastern today to talk about my keto/Jillian Michaels post. You can listen live on your computer here and WMAL has apps for both Android and iPhone.
I don't like some of his policies, but you've got to admire his huevos:
As I was saying yesterday, Pelosi's contention that the Secret Service was too "hamstrung" to provide security for the SOTU was bogus Shutdown Theater.
The Secret Service has made it clear that it is prepared to appropriately secure the State of the Union, and even said no one from her office even checked with them before she sent that letter.
In other words, she brazenly lied. Will the MSM hold her to account? The same MSM that calls Trump a shameless liar and fact checks every remark he makes, including obvious jokes and bombast? Don't hold your breath.

"Victory" ("Escape to Victory") is a famous 1981 film directed by John Huston, starring actors like Michael Cain, Sylvester Stallone or Max von Sydow, and football stars as Pelé, Bobby Moore and Osvaldo Ardiles. The story is inspired on a real event that occurred on August 9, 1942: "The Death Match."
During the Nazi occupation of Kiev (1941-43), football was banned by its past association with the communist police. Josef Kordik, Ukrainian baker, recognized a beggar on the street and hired him as a cleaner. He was Trusevich, goalkeeper of his beloved Dynamo Kyiv.
Kordik asked him to gather as many of his former colleagues as he could find (8) and any from Lokomotiv (3), and gave them a job, while they created the clandestine FC Start. They played a series of games and the word of mouth spread the existence of an unbeatable "team of bakers".
The Luftwaffe and the SS found out, but instead of having them shot, they saw a chance to show German superiority. They created a team with their best players, the Flakelf, they challenged the FC Start, and lost. They asked for a rematch three days later.
In a crowded Zenit Stadium and in the presence of the highest Nazi authorities, the match was arbitrated by an SS referee that allowed all kinds of abuses and breaches of the Germans. Despite the foul game and the threats, FC Start won again 5-3.
A week later the FC Start players were sent to concentration camps. 4 of them died tortured and executed.

Toprol XL
Thomas M. SobolDavid S. Nalven
- Complaint 01/31/06
Case Settled
AstraZeneca moved to dismiss the complaint in June 2006 and the Court stayed the case. In April 2010, the Court issued an opinion denying the motion to dismiss. After a period of intense documentary and deposition discovery, the parties entered into discussion of settlement and the case settled with a class-wide payment of $20 million. Final approval of the settlement was granted on Feb. 21, 2012.
In January 2006, HBSS filed an antitrust lawsuit on behalf of pharmaceutical product wholesalers and pharmacies against pharmaceutical manufacturer AstraZeneca, alleging the company engaged in an anti-competitive scheme to suppress generic competition for the drug Toprol XL, an extended-release hypertension drug. HBSS is one of three firms leading the case on behalf of a proposed class of direct purchaser plaintiffs.
AstraZeneca's misconduct included instituting baseless patent infringement litigation against generic pharmaceutical manufacturer KV Pharmaceutical Company which, under the Hatch-Waxman Act, resulted in an automatic 30-month stay in the FDA's approval of KV's application to market a generic version of Toprol XL.
