Casa Cairucu
This very personal house has all the touches you would want for a relaxing stay.
Ilha de Toque Toque is a lovely little hotel set up in small bungalows with views across Toque Toque bay about two and a half hours from São Paulo International Airport. There are only 10 rooms, which share a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and restaurant. The beach is about 20 minutes down a little path but it is very quiet and isolated so well worth the walk. The rooms are simple but very comfortable, some with private jacuzzis and all with private balcony and views.
Where possible, we like to offer a range of accommodation for each stop of your trip, chosen by our specialists as some of their favourite places to stay. To help you make the right choice, we give each property a rating based on its facilities and service, but we also look for hotels with distinct character or a location that can't be bettered.
This very personal house has all the touches you would want for a relaxing stay.
Casa Turquesa is a modern hotel that manages to retain some of its 18th century colonial charm. The rooms are crisp and refreshing and all a very good size - an excellent choice if you're looking for a little extra luxury during your stay in Paraty.
Like all accommodation in or near Abraao, the Ancoradouro is simple but comfortable. We particularly like its beachfront location, which offers all the advantages of being near the main town of Abraao.
Situated on the beautiful island of Ilha Grande, the Pousada Asalem is a great place to relax.
Located right on the beach and within short walking distance of Abraao town this is a charming little pousada.
A traditional yet characterful pousada of 27 rooms, ideally located in Paraty just a few minutes from the beach.
Pousada Literaria is ideally located in Paraty's old part of town. Built in a colonial building it retains a colonial feel, yet has large, airy rooms, decorated in a more modern style.
With just 12 rooms decorated in a rustic style, Pousada Naturalia has an elevated position on Ilha Grande just 50 metres from the sea. The rooms all have a small private balcony offering beautiful panoramic sea views, and each room has air conditioning and a mini bar.
Pousada Picinguaba is the perfect hideaway destination. Located in a sleepy fishing village just south of Paraty, it is surrounded by stunning beaches and verdant rainforest.

An early parliamentary election has been declared in Macedonia
On 15 April the Macedonian parliament decided to dissolve itself with votes from the ruling right-wing party VMRO-DPMNE and the Albanian parties. An early parliamentary election will be organised on 5 June. The ruling coalition hopes that very likely victory in the election will affirm social support for the government's policies which have been heavily criticised by the opposition parties who are now boycotting the workings of parliament.
The main reason for deciding on an early election is the boycott of parliament by the largest opposition party – the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia that has been underway since January this year. The party is accusing the government of limiting civil liberties and blames it for the deteriorating economic situation. The target for criticism is the intransigent policy towards Greece and the lack of a solution to the dispute between the two countries, which results in blocking Macedonia's membership in the NATO and the launch of accession negotiations between Skopje and the EU.
The negotiations undertaken by the government aimed at persuading the opposition to return to parliament have not brought any results and the protracted boycott has been negatively assessed by EU institutions and EU member states. This would affect the assessment of Macedonia's preparedness for EU membership and consequently thwart any progress in EU integration. Currently, referring to the advanced stage of preparations for EU accession, Macedonia is demanding that EU member states and institutions put pressure on Greece and withdraw the blockage in launching negotiations. For this reason declaring an early election and making an appeal to the society was the only chance of ending the political crisis.
Opinion polls point to victory in the election for the ruling VMRO-DPMNE but the party's position in the future parliament will be decidedly weaker than now. Despite this the government is most likely to continue its present policy. <MarSz>

Did Christopher Columbus introduce cannabis to the new world or was it the vikings?
No one can for sure say what was going on back in the days, but history says that Columbus was the first one to bring cannabis to the US and that he also used hemp for his rope and sails.
But history is also saying that the vikings used hemp for rope and sails, so who was first?
It's pretty interesting to read about the history of cannabis and hemp and how it has changed and helped so many people.
''The land groweth full of Hempe which groweth of it selfe, which is as good as possibly may be seene, and as strong."

Book cover design for "Souffles-Anfas: A Critical Anthology from the Moroccan Journal of Culture and Politics" edited by Olivia C. Harrison and Teresa Villa-Ignacio.
Summary of the book: "Souffles-Anfas: A Critical Anthology from the Moroccan Journal of Culture and Politics" introduces and makes available, for the first time in English, an incandescent corpus of experimental leftist writing from North Africa. Founded in 1966 by Abdellatif Laâbi and a small group of avant-garde Moroccan poets and artists and banned in 1972, Souffles-Anfas was one of the most influential literary, cultural, and political reviews to emerge in postcolonial North Africa. An early forum for tricontinental postcolonial thought and writing, the journal published texts ranging from experimental poems, literary manifestos, and abstract art to political tracts, open letters, and interviews by contributors from the Maghreb, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The essays, poems, and artwork included in this anthology—by the likes of Abdelkebir Khatibi, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Albert Memmi, Etel Adnan, Sembene Ousmane, René Depestre, and Mohamed Melehi—offer a unique window into the political and artistic imaginaries of writers and intellectuals from the Global South, and resonate with particular acuity in the wake of the Arab Spring. A critical introduction and section headnotes make this collection the perfect companion for courses in postcolonial theory, world literature, and poetry in translation.
The authors provided us with images from the original journal as references. Most striking was the cover of the journal, which always pictured a dark black sun. We decided to use this sun as inspiration to reinterpret the cover in our own way.
We began by making a series of drawings that combined mechanical lines output by a plotter with hand-brushed sumi ink. The juxtaposition of the organic brush strokes with the precise vector lines created an interesting material interaction that is a metaphor for the content of the book. The black circle is a reference to the black sun on the original journal's cover. The type was drawn with a plotter as well, and layered with one of the drawings.
The final cover conveys the tension and energy surrounding the journal at the time, and keeps some of the forms as the original cover from the 60's, but is a new interpretation.
This book was published by Stanford University Press in 2015.

New driver? Here's what you need to know
There are three main types of car insurance:
Fully comprehensive
The best level of cover, fully comprehensive insurance protects you, your car and other motorists from any damage you cause. It also covers medical expenses, repairs, fire damage and theft of your vehicle
Third-party, fire and theft
Third-party, fire and theft policies cover repair costs for other people, their cars and their property, as well as your own vehicle if it's stolen or damaged by fire
The minimum legal requirement, third-party insurance will only cover any damage you cause to other cars and property
Car insurance tailored to you
The cover you need also depends on what you drive, where, and how. There are also plenty of add-ons to help you find the right deal for you. It usually pays to shop around, because you are likely to save a significant sum of cash by changing insurer every 12 months, when your policy comes up for renewal.
Young drivers
Younger and learner drivers tend to pay a lot more for car insurance because they have less experience behind the wheel, and many buy specialist policies
European car insurance
You can drive in most of Europe on your UK car insurance, but there are several countries where you might need additional cover
Business car insurance
If you use your car for business reasons – including driving on behalf of your employer – you should consider taking out a business car insurance policy
Multi-car insurance
If there's more than one car registered at your address, a multi-car insurance policy might help you and your household save money
Telematics insurance
Your insurer monitors how safely you drive via an app or a black box installed in your car. If you drive carefully, you could see a significant saving
Classic car insurance
Classic cars are usually more valuable – and harder to repair – than modern vehicles. If you own one, you may need a dedicated classic car policy
How much does car insurance cost?
The average price for fully comprehensive car insurance is £516 according to MoneySuperMarket data from November 2019. However, car insurance is priced on various factors, so premiums will differ considerably depending on your circumstances.
For example, young drivers are considered much more risky than older drivers, simply because they have less driving experience. Because of this, young people pay a lot more than more experienced drivers, and the same goes for people with points on their license and criminal records.
Average Cost*
Third Party Only
Fully Comp
*According to MoneySuperMarket data correct as of July 2019
Do I need a credit check?
If you want to pay for your car insurance monthly, the insurer will do a credit check to see if you're able to make the payments. That's because agreeing to pay monthly is technically a credit agreement: you're borrowing the cost of the annual policy and repaying it over 12 months.
As with any credit check, a record of this search will remain on your file – and your credit rating will affect the amount of APR that you're charged. If you have a poor credit rating, you may be charged up to 20% APR. And if you've struggled to pay credit in the past, or if you have a CCJ to your name, then you may be denied the option to pay monthly. If you think you'll have issues with your credit rating, you can read our guide on improving your credit score.
If you choose to pay annually, you won't be subject to a credit check.
Is car insurance cheaper annually or monthly?
Car insurance is usually cheaper when you pay annually, because insurers add on a fee for monthly payments. Some insurers may not offer monthly payments, but because it can be an ever-increasing lump sum each year, many motorists see it as a way of helping spread the payment.
If you choose to pay in monthly instalments, it's important to be aware that most insurers will do a credit check to see if you are able to pay this monthly instalment.
What factors impact car insurance?
Car insurance is categorised on statistical risk, so there are several different factors taken into consideration when you get a quote for cover. This is why everyone pays a different price for their policy.
Age: This is a factor because, generally speaking, older and more experienced drivers are less of a risk than a young person that has been driving for less than five years. You will find that more experienced drivers will usually get much cheaper insurance premiums.
Gender: Even though insurers are no longer allowed to discriminate on gender, men still often pay more for their insurance. This is simply due to the cars they drive being statistically more powerful and that they drive more hours than women, amongst other factors.
Type of car: If you have an expensive or powerful car then you are seen as a higher risk for a number of reasons. If it's expensive, it has a higher risk of being stolen. If it's powerful, it's deemed more at risk of getting into an accident driving at speed. If you want to see how your car impacts your insurance, you can check which insurance group it's in for an indication.
Location: The location of your car is also factored in, because if the area has a high crime rate, then you are statistically more at risk of your car being stolen, damaged or vandalised.
Occupation: If you have a job where you drive more hours, then you are riskier in the eyes of insurers because you are literally on the road more. Or if you have expensive equipment as part of your job, it could be stolen from your car, therefore you present an increased risk.
Level of service
We aim to show you car insurance quotes from as many insurance companies as possible, so that you can find the right policy for you. Unfortunately, we can't promise to show quotes from every insurance provider, because not all companies want to be included on comparison websites. We won't offer you advice or make a recommendation, but we will provide you with all the information you need to help you decide which is the right policy for you. You can find out more about how we work here.
MoneySuperMarket can help you find great deals on your car insurance. From single to multi-car deals, satellite-based telematics policies to insurance for classic cars, we search the market to get the best combination of protection and price. Check out our news and guide pages for more information.

"Allen Guttmann has consistently produced works that are at the forefront of investigations of 'sport' as an immensely significant social, cultural, and political phenomenon. Sports: The First Five Millennia carries that tradition forward. With insight, thoroughness, and the remarkable range of knowledge for which he is well known, Guttmann has provided another excellent work. Of all the leading historians of sport in the world, I know of only one or two who might have come close to accomplishing what he has produced herein - and none who would have done so in such a readable manner." - Roberta J. Park, editor of From "Fair Sex" to Feminism: Sport and the Socialization of Women in the Industrial and Post-Industrial Eras"Rese�a del editor:
From ancient Egyptian archery and medieval Japanese football to contemporary American baseball, every sport has been shaped by - and in turn has helped shape - the culture of which it is a part. Yet as Allen Guttmann shows in this far-ranging study, for all their differences sports throughout the ages have exhibited many common characteristics. They have always been a domain for the cultivation of gender roles, for example, as well as for the enactment of class and ethnic identities. They have also followed a similar historical trajectory from traditional to modern forms. Written in entertaining, accessible prose and illustrated with dozens of images, Sports: The First Five Millennia traces this evolution across continents, cultures, and historical epochs to present a single comprehensive narrative of the world's sports. Beginning with a discussion of what constitutes a sport - and what does not - Guttmann explores the vast variety of sports played by the preliterate peoples of the Americas and Africa, by the Greeks and Romans of antiquity, and in premodern China and Japan as well as in Islamic Asia and medieval Europe. These traditional sports include everything from Cherokee stickball and Chinese kite-flying to Persian wrestling and English bear-baiting. Guttmann then turns his attention to modern sports, an invention of eighteenth-century England that spread throughout the world during the nineteenth century and became institutionalized during the twentieth. Marked by an adherence to codified rules and increasingly governed by international organizations such as the Federation Internationale de Football Association and the International Olympic Committee, modern sports have all but displaced their traditional antecedents throughout the world. The book concludes with a look at how skateboarding, hang gliding, and other "postmodern" sports have resisted the transition from spontaneous play to institutionalized contest, only to succumb in the end to the lure of modernization.

The Problem With Proposed Random ID Checks In Airports
The Federal Government wants to give the police to power to stop and check people's identity at Australian airports. Malcolm Turnbull has justified the move by saying we're living in 'dangerous times'.
Currently police only have the power to stop and ask for proof of identity if they suspect a person has or will commit a serious offence.
This announcement has unsurprisingly copped some backlash, Drive Tuesday spoke with Stephen Blanks, President of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties to find out more.

Tactical Idea: During Yen weakness don't forget about Japanese exporters
It is widely known that Japanese equities have an inverse relationship to the performance of the Yen. Namely:
- When the Yen is appreciating, Japan's stocks face a stiff headwind and tend not to deliver their strongest returns
- When the Yen is depreciating, Japan's stocks tend to find themselves in a much more favourable environment and have delivered much stronger performance
When we look thus far at 2018, data from Japan's Ministry of Finance has indicated that more than $30 billion dollars has left Japanese equities from foreign investors1. Clearly, foreign investors haven't been happy with Japan as an allocation, and a probable factor in contributing to this activity is that people have seen the headline number for the Japanese Yen/US Dollar exchange rate touching below 105—quite a strong level!
Warning: Yen does not move in a single direction
While foreign investors would clearly prefer to see the Yen/US Dollar exchange rate touching levels above 110 and moving towards 120, we caution them to not forget about Japan just because the yen is on the stronger end of its trading range. Markets can move quickly, and during bouts of yen weakness, Japanese equities can be interesting tactical trading ideas.
Example: 23 March 2018 to 20 April 2018 saw a 2.71% Yen depreciation—What did the equities do?
Source: Bloomberg.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. You cannot invest directly in an Index.
- Clearly, Japan's equities reacted well to the downward movement in the yen.
- The WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Index focuses its approach on exporters—this would lead us to expect that it should respond more strongly to the Yen's moves. We see here—admittedly over a short-term period—that this was the case relative to the broader MSCI Japan Index.
Key Relationships: The Yen & the US 10-year treasury note interest rates
Source: Bloomberg.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. You cannot invest directly in an Index.
- On the left side, we can see the clear relationship between a weakening Yen against the US Dollar and the performance of the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Index. This is highly related to our first chart—it just shows a way to look at the relationship from a more "across time" or "correlation" perspective
- On the right side, we can see that there is also a relationship between the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Index and the level of the US 10-year treasury note. Historically, we've seen a positive correlation between a rising US 10-year and the performance of the WisdomTree Index shown here—and with the 10-year getting very close to 3%, it is important to bring this relationship back out to the forefront.
In 2018, the Yen had been one of the strongest performing currencies, despite the rise in the 10-year. In late April, the yen started coming under more pressure that coincides more in sync with the rise in US vs Japan yield differentials.
We'd point out that from a pure equity valuation perspective, we find Japan one of more attractive markets globally. This starts with the compensation one takes to own equities over safer assets like bonds. The earnings yield 'risk premium' over Japanese bond yields is among the highest globally—given a 10-year Japanese government bond yield that is anchored near zero and an earnings yield, on WisdomTree's index that is almost 7.8%. The comparable ratio for the S&P 500 Index is below 2% given a trailing 12-month PE ratio that is over 20x and a 10-year bond yield that is approaching 3%.
Japan's equities look extremely attractive relative to government bonds
Source: Bloomberg. Data is as of 20 Apr. 2018. 10-Year Government bond yield for the Japan-focused equity Indexes is the 10-Year Japanese Government Bond. For the S&P 500 Index, this refers to the 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. You cannot invest directly in an Index.
If tensions over global trade recede, North Korea risk also seems to fade, Japanese equities seemed poised for recovery.

Embark on a 9-day excursion within Torres del Paine NP, hiking the full Torres del Paine circuit known as the O circuit. Start the 130km (80.7 mi) route by trekking to the base of Las Torres to see the dramatic three towers and turquoise lagoon below.
Transfer by van to Torres del Paine NP. This two-hour journey through ranch country includes a stop in Cerro Castillo, the principal site of wool and meat exportation to Europe during the 1960s.
Trek to the base of the Torres themselves, a spectacular hike to view the three pink granite towers that make the park famous. Torre (Tower) Sur rises 2900m (9512 ft) above sea level, Torre Central is 2850m (9348 ft) high and Torre Norte measures 2600m (8528 ft). The Cuernos (Horns) del Paine, massive blocks of various rock layers visible from great distances, are as spectacular as the towers themselves.
Spend the next few days hiking and camping in this spectacular park, visiting the Towers, Grey Glacier and French Valley, before making your way back to Puerto Natales.
Cross the pampas of Patagonia first on asphalt roads to cerro Castillo, stopping for a quick break. Then, continue by dirt road and stop to take photos of the spectacular views! Keep an eye out for wildlife— guanacos, condors, geese, and other birds. Enter the national park and continue for another 30 minutes to the start point of the trek.
Be prepared to lose your breath - from the hike AND the gorgeous views! Hike the Torres del Paine trail to the base of the "torres" (towers) themselves. Enjoy the view of the three pink granite towers that make this park famous.
HIke on relatively flat terrain through towering mountains following the river to Camp Séron. Enjoy the surrounding grassy plains and keep an eye out for wildlife before arriving at camp in the mid afternoon.
In the morning, meet our porters, load up the gear and head out across ancient glacial moraines around the Paine Massif toward Camp Séron. The trail takes us through Lenga forests where we often see Austral parakeets, several species of geese, and the occasional guanaco and fox.
Trek four hours around the Paine Massif, through Lenga forests, and end up in a slightly flatter area in the north east of the part in Camp Séron.
Head out along the north side of the national park, leading closer to the mountains. Follow the river to Lake Dickson. In the evening, relax and walk along the pebble beach, admiring the crystal clear glacier water.
Eat breakfast early, then hike to Lago Dickson, a glacial lake on the edge of the Southern Patagonia Ice Cap. Walk past bright red blooms of Notro bushes and cross a stream along the lake. Today's trek is a beautiful, leisurely six-hour hike. At the refugio, take a hot shower and buy a cold beer!
Hike to Lago Dickson and enjoy a hot shower, cold beer, and great views at the refuge located on the shore.
Continue along the north side of the park to an incredible lookout point of Lake Dickson and the surrounding valley. Follow the trail through the tall forest to reach another lookout for Perros Glacier, well worth the climb.
Pack up and head out through pristine, old growth beech forest. Look and listen for the red-headed Magellanic woodpecker. Just before we arrive to camp, trek past the Perros glacier and enjoy fantastic close-up views of the ice and the lake. Spend the night camping at the base of Paso John Garner at Los Perros.
Enjoy a day hiking through beech forest to the Perros Glacier, before arriving at the campsite at Paso John Garner.
Today is the toughest day of the O trek, start with an uphill climb for 2-3 hours, passing over the highest point. Take in the first view of Grey Glacier and gaze into the distance to take in its 270km² (104 mi²) spread. Climb vertical ladders and pass a suspension bridge en route to Grey Refuge.
This is the biggest day yet as we climb over Paso John Garner and hike down through thick forest directly above the massive Grey Glacier. Once on the pass, look out over rugged, glaciated peaks and the Southern Patagonia Ice Cap – a view not to be missed! The glacier stretches out below like a giant white highway.
Hike for a full day over Paso John Garner, above the imposing Grey Glacier and the Southern Patagonia Ice Cap.
Enjoy the day exploring Grey Lake and Grey Glacier. The spectacular scenery is a highlight of the trek with the back drop of snow-capped mountains and floating pieces of piercing blue glacier.
After breakfast, begin the five-hour hike descending towards Grey Lake through lenga (southern beech) forest. Every so often, stop at a terrace to look out over the Grey Glacier and the Southern Patagonia Ice Cap. Relax in the afternoon and enjoy these peaceful surroundings.
Hike towards Grey Lake in the morning, with the afternoon free to relax and enjoy the serenity of this ruggedly beautiful landscape.
Hike along Lake Grey to appreciate different view points of the glacier. Hike to join the famous W Trek and end at Lake Pehoé. Relax at Paine Grande Refuge and share trekking stories with the other hikers.
Cross a high plateau overlooking Grey Lake and see icebergs and views across Grey Glacier on the way to Lake Pehoé. Pehoé means "hidden lake" in the Tehuelche language. The afternoon is free to relax at Lodge Paine Grande and enjoy the area. At night, enjoy a pisco sour cocktail in the bar overlooking Paine Grande & Los Cuernos mountains.
Head for Lake Pehoé and soak in the incredible views across the glaciers and mountains that fill up this national park. Enjoy a relaxing evening under the Cuernos del Paine.
Hike to the French Valley lookout to see the mountain range spread across the national park, take in the contrasting greens and greys of the landscape.
Continue the trek to the French Valley. Surrounded by hanging glaciers and an amphitheater of granite walls and spires, this is the most beautiful valley in the park and one of the most unique in the world. After, trek out of the valley to the extraordinary turquoise Lake Nordenskjold. After six to eight hours, end the day at Refugio Cuernos for dinner and sleep.
Trek to the French Valley, surrounded by glaciers, before continuing to beautiful Lake Nordenskjold and Reugio Cuernos.
The concluding day of the O circuit continues along Lake Nordenskjöld. Take in the final views of Torres del Paine, reflect on the last nine days and relish in the sense of accomplishment before heading back to Puerto Natales.
Trek along Lake Nordenskjöld and below the hanging glaciers of Mount Almirante Nieto, to the reach Hosteria Las Torres, where our van awaits us. Transfer to Puerto Natales.
Follow the trail past Lake Nordenskjöld and Mount Almirante Nieto before ending the trek at Hosteria Las Torres.
Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.
Depart at any time.
The airport in Puerto Natales is small with limited flight connections. Most onward flight connections will be through Punta Arenas in Chile or El Calafate in Argentina which would involve taking a public bus or transfer. We would recommend booking a flight after 4pm.

Genre - Stoner Rock
Label - Cargo Records
Track listing:
01 - Bench
02 - Bleed That Stone
03 - You Know
04 - Weather The Storm
05 - From The Top
06 - All For None
07 - Just A Little
08 - Words
09 - A New Leaf
'Chapter 1 : A Long Time Coming' is the debut studio album by stoner rock band PROFANE AND THE SACRED.
Featuring gigantic doom laden riffs that unashamedly smother you in nostalgia but waste no time in lacing prog tinged instrumental breakdowns into a 9 song musical journey. Showcasing time progressions that shift gears but never let up on the momentum - allowing the raspy, gritty vocals of singer Luke Alleeson to cover the organic soundtrack.
'A Long Time Coming' is an album specifically recorded to sound alive and not manipulated to the point of sounding 'cookie cut' - the warm acoustic notes of album opener 'Bench' gives way to down tuned riffing with 'Bleed That Stone' and 'You Know' demonstrating the armoury of this band. First single 'From The Top' showcases Profane And The Sacred in a 5 minute classic stoner rock track, with the latest single 'Words' demonstrating fast pace and groove that hits you right between the eyes during its chorus.
The subtle tones of closer 'A New Leaf' captures the melodic side, with keyboards, acoustic and bass complimenting each other in this instrumental piece, leaving the listener in a soothing, melancholy reflective mood.
Now I have to be completely honest, I am not the greatest fan of heavy stoner rock / southern metal bands, finding many of them to be just heavy for the sake of being heavy, with vocalist's that just shout scream and growl as opposed to singing, but this album is different. Profane And The Sacred are not only talented musicians with a penchant for heavy bone crushing riffs, but they also have an ear for a great melody, that together with their ability to pen some great songs makes this a great album!
The riffs come thick and strong courtesy of guitarist Rick Spooner whilst the rhythm section of Rob Taylor and Kieran Smith keeps everything nice and tight, but the real highlight here is vocalist Luke Alleeson. This guy has one hell of a set of pipes on him! He has the range and power in his voice to really make the songs come to life, as can be heard on tracks like "Weather The Storm", "Bleed That Stone" and "From The Top".
This exciting debut album showcases Profane And The Sacred as one of the best UK based heavy music bands out there at the moment, and proves that they can more then hold their own when compared to their international contemporaries.
Very Highly Recommended
Rating - 10/10
Profane And The Sacred will release a new single / music video 'Words' in February.
Cargo Records Release: 23 February 2015

Who are the people behind erotic fiction, those accounts of racy affairs and clandestine romances so often stashed away in secret, read in the privacy of one's home?
Increasingly, photographer David Woolfall discovered, they're women. But they're not who you might expect.
"Easy to imagine they would be foxy, leather-clad mistresses, whip in one hand, the other on the keyboard. I knew the reality would be very different. I wanted to see behind their pseudonyms and secret lives," Woolfall said in a statement.
Woolfall began his project, "Kinky Books," by searching for authors online and cold-contacting them to see if they'd be interested in being photographed.
"Some declined because they didn't want their identities revealed. They were writers of other genres and didn't want people to know about the erotica work! On the whole, although circumspect at first, the women jumped at the chance and welcomed the opportunity," Woolfall said.
Woolfall said that's not the only change. In the past couple of decades, he wrote in the Independent, the industry has "moved from being driven by men writing under female pseudonyms to a dominance by women authors."
Although many women are more open about their interest in reading and writing erotic fiction now than ever before, Woolfall said some stigma remains. Two of the women Woolfall photographed asked to have their faces obscured: One hadn't told her father about her career, and the other said she wanted to hide her identity to protect her family.
Though the writers came to fiction for different reasons and write different genres within the erotica realm, Woolfall said many of the women he photographed are like Jaybee: essentially conservative, shy people quick to emphasize that their stories and characters are not based on their own lives or desires.
In fact, Woolfall said, the authors would be impossible to spot on the street. No whips or chains—they're normal people going about their lives.
"They are mothers picking up their children from the school gates, one had a day job in a library, another was an active churchgoer," Woolfall said. "All had a little twinkle in their eye that suggested a colorful, lively imagination!"

16 Gentle Exercises for People With Arthritis
Anyone can develop rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but it most commonly crops up in people who are in their 60s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (Women are also about twice as likely to have it as men.) If you have rheumatoid arthritis, eating a healthy diet can ease inflammation levels, while doing low-impact aerobics, strength training, and stretching can help prevent stiff joints, build muscle, improve endurance, and benefit your heart, bones, and mood.
Of course, when joints are inflamed, you need to take it easy. Listen to your body. "If it feels good to just walk in the water, then by all means go ahead, but you do not push through RA pain," says Daniele Anderson, a personal and adaptive trainer at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Illinois. "It's your body's way of telling you to stop." Work with your doctor to find the right exercise for you, and consult him or her about when you should skip it due to symptoms.
Chair stand
Who it's good for: People who want to build leg muscles.
Tips: Sitting in a normal-height chair, stand up, and sit down, but don't just plop down. Focus on controlling the motion, using your arms to assist you if needed. Try doing 10 to 15 reps. If that's too easy, try a lower-height chair. Too difficult? Find a higher-height chair. "As your legs get strong, you can control that motion more with your legs and less with your arms," says Lesley Hlad, a doctor of physical therapy in the arthritis rehabilitation service at Duke University's Center for Living in Durham, North Carolina.
Talk with a licensed Aetna representative
Monday-Friday 8am to 6pm CT
Who it's good for: Almost everyone can benefit, even people with tender, swollen joints.
Tips: Yoga packs two great benefits for people with RA. Using deep relaxation techniques, like yoga Nidra, promotes a healthy immune system and helps reduce joint inflammation. Plus, gentle stretching is great for maintaining mobility and movement. "Avoid power yoga, hot yoga and flow (also known as Vinyasa yoga), which can increase internal heat and put excessive pressure on the joints," cautions certified yoga specialist Robin Rothenberg of Essential Yoga Therapy in Fall City, Washington.
Who it's good for: Almost everyone, unless walking is too painful.
Tips: Walking is a great bone-strengthening and aerobic activity. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that most people exercise at a moderate-to-hard intensity level — 60% to 85% of your maximum heart rate — three to five days a week and working up to a 30-minute session, but also notes that your regimen can be modified based on your physical abilities. You'll build endurance if you walk longer, but it's okay to do 10 minutes at a time, says Hlad.
Who it's good for: RA patients who want stronger muscles.
Tips: Pilates is good for stabilizing your joints and strengthening the muscles that support your joints, explains Tresa Sauer, a personal trainer at the YWCA of Minneapolis. Try the "shoulder bridge." Lay on your back, bend your knees and place your arms along each side of your body. Exhale through pursed lips as you contract the abdominals and lift your pelvis. (Don't arch your back or overflex your knees.) Inhale through the nose and hold the position. Exhale to lower your pelvis back to the ground and repeat the exercise.
Water workout
Who it's good for: People who have significant joint pain.
Tips: In a lap pool (usually 4-feet deep), walk from one side of the pool to the other at a brisk pace. If you work out in a health center with an underwater treadmill, your trainer can adjust the speed of the exercise. The buoyancy of the water relieves pressure on your joints. Consider exercising using a water jogging belt. It suspends you above the pool floor so you can move without putting any pressure on your hips, knees or ankles, says Ann Rosenstein, a Lakeville, Minnesota, fitness professional and author of Water Exercises for Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Who it's good for: Anyone with RA, as long as you don't overdo it.
Tips: You can stretch sitting in a chair, if that helps. And you can use a Stretch-Out Strap, a nylon strap with built-in loops for your hands and feet. Try this: Place the ball of your foot through a loop, grasp each end of the strap with your hands, and straighten your leg. Lift your leg, gently pulling on the straps. You're not reaching your toes, you're taking the strap and pulling up, so you're still getting a hamstring stretch, says exercise physiologist Stefanie Fleming, of OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center, in Rockford, Illinois.
Tai chi
Who it's good for: People looking for a low-impact exercise.
Tips: "Sun-style" (pronounced SOON-style) tai chi involves slow, smooth movements that strengthen the body, reduce pain and improve mobility. In general, don't practice tai chi longer than the amount of time you can walk comfortably, advises Paul Lam, a family physician and director of the Tai Chi for Health Institute in Australia. Twenty to 40 minutes per day is a good average for most people with RA, he says.
Weight lifting
Who it's good for: Anyone, as long as you know your limits.
Tips: Start by doing bicep curls with light hand weights, no more than 2 to 5 lbs., and build your endurance over time by adding weight and sets. Stronger muscles help you perform daily activities. If the heaviest thing you pick up is a gallon of milk, "you want to be lifting about 8-lb weights as your goal," says Anderson. You can do this in the water — hold foam dumbbells in each hand, pull down, and let the weights slowly float up to work your arms, shoulders, chest, and back.
Who it's good for: Anyone with feet or ankle problems.
Tips: Whether you're riding outdoors or sitting on an upright or recumbent exercise bike, cycling avoids the pounding of high-impact aerobic activities, but still packs great cardiovascular benefits. It also strengthens the quads. Try cycling for 10 minutes at a time. Build up to 30 to 40 minutes two to three times a week.
Hand stretch
Who it's good for: People with pain in their fingers and hands.
Tips: Spread your fingers as wide as they can go, then make a fist, and repeat that stretching and squeezing motion. If you're in the water, open and close your hands underwater, or try squeezing a foam ball. Let it absorb the water before squeezing it out again.
Who it's good for: People who want to sweat without hurting their joints.
Tips: What makes Zumba, the Latin-inspired dance fitness craze, different from high-impact aerobics classes? It burns calories without jarring your joints, explains exercise physiologist Caryn Locke of Caryn's Studio in Waite Park, Minnesota. "A lot of it is just the fluidity of the movements," say Locke, who was diagnosed with RA in April 2010. If you're just starting out, ease into it because you'll be using all the muscles in your body and you don't want to overdo it. Taking twice-weekly classes will help you learn the choreography.
Qi Gong
Who it's good for: Anyone desiring better balance, improved posture, a stronger core.
Tips: Standing tall or sitting up straight in a chair, imagine a spring is lifting you from above, suggests Tess Franklin, exercise physiologist at OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, Illinois, who teaches this Chinese exercise. Close your eyes and take deep, relaxed breaths in through your nose and out from your mouth. Place your hands on your stomach and focus on moving your diaphragm in and out with each breath. Concentrate on strengthening the core muscles of your abdomen to maintain your balance and posture.
Elliptical training
Who it's good for: People who have good balance and exercise endurance.
Tips: Riding an elliptical machine is not for the exercise novice. It's ideal for people in good cardiovascular condition who want a higher-intensity, no-impact challenge. Start at a constant ramp height and constant resistance and make adjustments as you get stronger. Or choose a pre-set cross-training program. Adding arm movements will amp up the cardiovascular benefit.
Who it's good for: Anyone who enjoys recreational exercise.
Tips: Gardening burns calories and boosts pleasure-enhancing endorphins, easing depression that can be associated with RA, says Anderson. But you need to pace yourself. If you've got RA in your wrists, you're asking for a flare-up if you dig and dig for hours at a time.
Suspension training
Who it's good for: People who are game for a more challenging core workout who don't have serious wrist or ankle issues.
Tips: With suspension training, you leverage your own body weight from straps hanging from an anchor point. Place your feet in the stirrups and hold your body up with your hands or resting flat on your forearms. Holding a plank position works muscles in the abdomen, back and shoulders. Work up to a 30-second hold with a 20-second rest between reps.
Three-way hip exercises
Who it's good for: People with weak hip muscles.
Tips: 1. Face the kitchen sink and hold on. Alternate bringing each knee up like you're marching in place. This will work muscles in the front of your hips.
2. Keep your toes facing forward. Raise a leg out to the side and back to work the outer thighs and glutes. Alternate legs.
3. Face forward; extend a leg out behind you until it's a few inches off the ground. Hold and lower slowly, then switch legs. This works your butt and lower back. Why the kitchen sink? It's something sturdy to hold onto in case you lose your balance, says Hlad.

National Ambulance: Emergency Awareness and Preparedness, Jobs and Courses
A medical emergency can happen anytime at any place and Abu Dhabi is improving its preparedness.
One of the pillars of emergency response in the country is National Ambulance, established in 2014, that provides a dedicated pre-hospital emergency response to patients and builds local capacity in responding to major incidents. The company serves government and private clientele and is committed to providing the highest quality of care while joining also in nationwide campaigns to improve emergency response in the emirate.
One of these initiatives is the National Ambulance's 'Give Way to Save Lives' campaign in the Northern Emirates, a campaign by the Ministry of Interior's to raise public awareness about the dangers of not giving way and keeping the road clear for emergency vehicles. National Ambulance Deputy CEO, Ahmed Saleh Al Hajeri Deputy CEO, said: The campaign is a coordinated initiative by all emergency services in the area handling public medical emergency response and providing high levels of pre-hospital care to citizens and residents across the Emirates of Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al-Khaimah and Fujairah.
Another important part of National Ambulance services regards the presence at important public and private events. Local EMTs/Paramedic, for example, were provided back in May, during Ramadan, to ensure worshippers' safety across the Northern Emirates, as part of an integrated pre-emergency plan to increase resources and deploy crews and ambulances in the surrounding areas of the major mosques. In that occasion, they worked closely with strategic partners across the emergency sector to ensure public safety and efficient response in case of any emergency during this holy time.
National Ambulance also actively contributed to the success of the medical emergency provision at the following events:
- For the fifth consecutive year, coverage at the 2018 Etihad Formula 1 Grand Prix event held at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi where it deployed a group of specialized rescue extrication trained staff to provide emergency intervention in the case of a crash, along with a team of doctors, paramedics to ensure drivers' safety.
- Daman World Triathlon Abu Dhabi 2019 – Deployed a team of 36 qualified staff (Doctors, Paramedics and EMTs) and six ambulances to ensure the safety of the athletes, spectators and participants.
In addition, anyone is able to receive medical assistance by calling 998 or using the NA998 App (available for IOS, Android, Windows and Blackberry) in the event they need an emergency ambulance. All requests will go immediately to National Ambulance's Communications Centre where trained staff are able to respond and dispatch an ambulance directly to the scene through GPS tracking.
Do you want to become an EMT? If so, it's time you learned how to become one. National Ambulance offers an innovative Emirati Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program running until only through the months of March and April, but intends to do it again next year; the one-year training curriculum is offered in partnership with the University of Sharjah (UOS) which provides a professional qualification in pre-hospital care and a guaranteed offer of a job at National Ambulance to those successfully completing the course.
Ahmed Saleh Al Hajeri, CEO of National Ambulance said: "Our Emirati EMT programme has proved to be a huge success in attracting local talent and providing them career opportunities in the vital health sector."
The video (which can be seen here) supports National Ambulance's efforts in reaching out to the community and encouraging young Emiratis to apply for the one-year training programme to get the opportunity to work in the vital emergency ambulance sector and become an asset to the country.
Interested candidates should visit www.nationalambulance.ae/emt to apply and find more information about the programme.
National Ambulance is also providing opportunities to UAE Nationals to join its workforce to be on a team that provides timely and safe response, which can greatly improve patient outcomes.

Ertugliflozin Tied to Improved Glycemic Control in T2DM
TUESDAY, Feb. 20, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- For adults with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes, ertugliflozin treatment is associated with improved glycemic control over 52 weeks, according to a study published online Feb. 8 in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism.
Ronnie Aronson, M.D., from LMC Diabetes & Endocrinology in Ontario, and colleagues conducted a phase III randomized trial to examine the efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin monotherapy in adults with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes despite diet and exercise. The study comprised a 26-week placebo-controlled period where 461 participants received placebo or ertugliflozin (5 or 15 mg/day) and a second 26-week period in which participants in the placebo group had blinded metformin added.
The researchers found that the mean change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to week 52 was −0.9 and −1 percent in the ertugliflozin 5- and 15-mg groups, respectively; the proportion of patients with HbA1c <7 percent was 25.6 and 28.5 percent, respectively, at week 52. Ertugliflozin was correlated with a reduction in fasting plasma glucose, body weight, and systolic blood pressure. In females, the incidence of genital mycotic infections (GMIs) was significantly higher in both the 5- and 15-mg ertugliflozin groups versus placebo/metformin (26.9 and 29 versus 9.9 percent); males had significantly higher GMI incidence in the 15-mg group (7.8 versus 1.2 percent).
"Ertugliflozin treatment over 52 weeks improved glycemic control and reduced body weight and systolic blood pressure but increased GMIs," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Merck & Co., which funded the study.

Happy Tuesday friends! I hope you are having a good week! I hope your day off(for most of the US) was great! My kids are so funny, being used to German Holiday breaks from school, and just learning about the holidays in the US, my 5 year old daughter told me she didn't have preschool because it was King Ludwig day! King Ludwig was one of the Kings in Bavaria that they learned a lot about and we was several of his castles etc., it cracked me up! So, Happy King Ludwig day to you too!!
I'm working like a crazy women to get all my ducks in order so my household doesn't fall apart while I'm away for a few days...Daddy will be great!! And, my son(7) told me that he and his sister(5) will be great for dad, it will be Ruby(almost 2) that will be the challenge...ha ha ha!! Anyway, onto some fun for today!
This cute image comes from Lizzie Anne Designs February Mix, "Singing in the Rain". It is a GREAT collection of images! You can check it out and the info about being a mix club member...it gives you a serious deal to sign up for the club! Anyway, check it out here! I just love this little chick image!!
I used some white cardstock for the base of my card. My next layer is aqua mist cardstock and it has been run through the Big Shot with the swiss dots embossing folder. I used my corner chomper-do you know how much I love that thing!?-to round the edges. I stamped my little chick and then colored her in with copics. I cut her out with my bloom nestabilites and then mounted her on a chocolate chip bloom, that has also been swiss dotted! I tied some 5/8" grosgrain ribbon round, and then mounted my little cutie. The sentiment was stamped, punched with a circle and then mounted on a small saffron bloom.
Isn't she such a cute little image!? The fun we can have with her is just neverending!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great productive day!! Until tomorrow, toodles!!

Welcome to my Holy Paladin guide! To give you a brief background on myself: I've been raiding as a Restoration Druid for over 14-years, since the days of Rank 4 Healing Touch and Decursive mashing! During this time, I've branched out to other healers as well. While I'm not as experienced with them as Druids, I thought it could be worth sharing some of my insight.
Feedback is greatly appreciated! Feel free to leave comments at the bottom of any guide page, contact me, or tweet @PrestonDvorak.

"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
-Luke 12:6-7
The other day I accompanied a buddy of mine to a trade show held at a casino.
I am not a gambler, but one thing I have noticed in my limited history with casinos is that there is often a stark difference between casino advertisements and the actual scene at the casino itself.
Often I'll drive by billboards or notice other casino promotions that depict a group of people having just a cavalcade of fun. It might be around the craps or blackjack table, but in each case the person or persons playing are always celebrating that winning hand or roll of the dice. Oftentimes there are very attractive women in the advertisement who seem to be enjoying themselves as well.
And I often laugh, because my, how different my experience with casinos has been.
(Before I dive into the deep end, please allow me to say this: this is not an article to bash casinos or make people feel bad about gambling. Further, the last thing I want to do is to be presumptuous about why someone might go to a casino in the first place or what might be the driving force behind someone's decision to play the slots. All I am doing is talking about what I perceived, and how this relates to our walk with God.)
So anyway, we pulled up to the casino and toured the trade show. After an hour or two, we broke for lunch, which was held inside the casino. To get there, we had to walk by hundreds of slot machines. Of course, they were blinking and making noises that sounded like money.
I could almost feel myself winning. I imagined pulling that lever and hundreds of coins tumbling to the floor. I imagined going back to my wife and saying, "Honey, look! We can pay our mortgage with this!"
As I continued to weave through the slots, I walked by several people who were playing. Because it was just after noon, the casino wasn't crowded, and because of that I was able to notice each person individually. One by one, I looked at their faces, and in many of them I noticed something.
I noticed lifelessness.
There was a despondency I perceived as they sat in their stools and waited for a favorable combination: 777, three cherries, BAR BAR BAR, etc.
The face of one man in particular struck me. I studied him for a few seconds as I walked by, his face cloaked with hopelessness.
It was almost as if he wore the realization that the jackpot might never come.
I wanted so badly to go over to him and say, "Your life can be so much more than this!" "It doesn't have to be this way!"
I don't know why I didn't. I guess I was scared to.
You know, I think many of us struggle with finding purpose in life. We wonder why we are put here on this earth and often pass through this odd corridor merely existing and not really living. Life is reduced to a series of insignificant events strung together over a number of years and then you die and are never seen or heard from again.
Some even believe that life means absolutely nothing. What a cold and despondent space we live in, some must think.
For many years, I lived on the edge of that lifelessness and despair. I wondered where God was in the midst of my circumstances. My heart was cold as a Moscow winter. I found little purpose in life and eventually got to a point where I didn't care if I lived or died. I was like that man who was sitting in front of the slot machine—worse, even.
Over time, I have discovered there is a flipside to that coin. Life can have purpose and meaning. We don't have to spend our lives sitting around waiting on the jackpot or the winning lottery ticket. Our lives are not dependent on chance, but rather a simple choice.
Many years ago I trusted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I strayed from him for a long while, but over time, God has slowly pulled me back. One of the things I have discovered through this refining process is that my life has infinite value and purpose. The fact that I'm writing this article right now, encouraging others to follow Jesus, is evidence of that.
Similarly, your life does have value and purpose. Your life means something. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and the Creator of this universe cares for you.
You don't have to pass through this world merely existing, perched in front of the slot machine of life, hoping to hit the jackpot.
If there is any redeeming quality to this article, I hope it is this: to help you realize there is another way. Your life can be different.
By the realization that we've already struck gold. The coins tumbled two thousand years ago when Jesus Christ died for us. With that selfless act, Jesus simultaneously provided a route to heaven and a way to an abundant life here on this earth. He didn't die so our lives could be perpetually spent pulling a lever, going through the drudgery of motions until we are plugged 6 feet under.
He did so we can have life, and have it to the full.
This is supposed to be good news. This is supposed to be met with hallelujahs, yet we have failed to take hold of this special life. Why? Because we allow our circumstances to dictate our attitude, instead of Jesus dictating our attitude. Why? Because we have become distracted with lifeless pursuits, instead of the edifying pursuit of a life glorifying and serving a risen Lord.
Why? Because we settle for a slow drip when we can have the fountain.
When we believe in Jesus, a sense of purpose, worth, value, and meaning is immediately installed into our life. We don't have to search for it. We don't have to wait for the numbers to line up or the right combination of a spinning wheel. All we have to do is believe we have won and cash in our winning ticket.
The jackpot is Christ.
Praise God that our redeemer lives! Hallelujah and hallelujah! 78

In part four of this series, we will take a look into what you should look for in a Web Hosting Data Center as far as the facility is concerned. We have had a chance to look at some intangible features that you should look for, some location and uptime decisions, a little bit about scalability and customer service issues, and other important features and things to consider. When it comes to getting what you are paying for, it is important that you look at the physical location that you are going to be in, and what kind of redundancy and reliability is built in. We have already referenced some ways that web hosts fail customers, so we don't want to be in a facility that would have dozens of ways you can go down.
When it comes to a building for your hosting company, what kind of redundancy does it have built in for both natural disasters and accidents? Some of the higher end facilities, if they are built in an area that has to deal with earthquakes, will be built on a zone 4+ seismic design, meaning that they are built to stay intact in all but the most devastating of earthquakes. Some facilities have been built partially underground in areas that may have Tornados, or other measures in hurricane areas.
What is the Fire suppression system like in the building? This may not have crossed your mind, but when you are putting thousands, if not tens of thousands of heat-spitting servers all together in a few big rooms, and throw in hundreds of thousands of watts delivered to that small area, one can understand why it would be a risky place as far as fire hazards go. By the same token, if a fire suppression system goes off in an area that does not have a fire, you are at risk for going offline. Many facilities will have a halon-type system, which is very similar to a dangerous large scale fire extinguisher. This is a double edged sword, as if the system pressurizes by accident, it can have catastrophic consequences, as a few data centers have learned the hard way. Most will have a water system, that is a dry pipe, double activation system. This means that it needs only be deployed in an area there is a fire, and nowhere else.
Also, is your data center in a flood plain? I would take it that hosting in New Orleans, you may want to make sure your hosting facility has a good plan for if everything in town ends up under water. If there is a big reservoir up the road, are you right in the flood path? These are things to consider.
I would advise you not to get TOO caught up in the technical details of how they decided to protect their building. Just know what level of protection they have. Don't worry if they used base isolation or some other method for earthquake protection, just make sure they have adequate protection.
Data centers have a lot of things they do NOT do. Make sure the stuff they say they do, they actually do.
