Galicia is more than Santiago de Compostela
Green valleys and impressive beaches
Until a few years ago Galicia was one of the poorest parts of Western Europe.
Tourism plays an increasing role in the Galician economy.
The province is especially popular with the Spaniards themselves, especially those who want to escape the heat in the summer.
The capital Santiago de Compostela is the destination of the famous pilgrimage of Santiago.
The valleys are green and the beaches impressive.
On the Cantabrian and Atlantic coast there are impressive cliffs, such as on the Costa da Morte, or the national park of the Atlantic islands of Galicia.
There are many charming fishing villages and places in the interior or cities such as Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Ferrol, Lugo, Orense, Pontevedra or Vigo.
There are many spas and hot springs in the open air. You can also play sports at one of the golf courses or the water sports centers.
B&B in Galicia on a larger map
Food and drink
Typical products are dishes such as shellfish (crayfish, lobster, scallop, mussels, giant shrimps, etc.), beef, squid, pork shoulder with turnip stalks or Santiago's cake.
There is nothing better than the best-known Galician wines, the Ribeiro and the Albariño (for which also two wine routes have been made) or the popular "queimada" (brandy ritual burned in an earthenware bowl).

Bitcoin Price Update: BTC/USD Approaches Longest Bear Market in History
Bitcoin's trading range continued to narrow on Friday, as market players remained on the sidelines following CBOE's abrupt pullout from the crypto ETF race earlier this week. The leading digital currency is exactly one week away from enduring its longest bear market in history, highlighting the extent of the price collapse since December 2017.
BTC/USD Update
The bitcoin price swung back below $3,600 on Friday after reaching a high of $3,616.09 in the prior session. At the time of writing, bitcoin's average price was down 0.5% to $3,581.90, according to CoinMarketCap.
On individual exchanges, bitcoin traded as low as $3,543 on Bittrex and Bitstamp, and as high as $3,611 on Bitfinex. The following chart, which is based on Bitstamp data, continues to show weak underlying momentum.
Despite heavier than normal circulation, bitcoin's price action has been practically motionless this week, as a lack of trading catalysts kept the market confined to a narrow range. Firm support is located at $3,550, a key long-term inflection point for the bulls. On the opposite side of the ledger, resistance is located near $3,700.
Trade volumes reached $5.3 billion in the last 24 hours, fairly consistent with the levels seen for much of January. Spot markets account for more than 87% of transactions, according to the latest available data.
At current values, bitcoin has a total market cap of $63.6 billion. That represents 52.5% of the entire cryptocurrency market. A little more than two months ago, bitcoin had a market cap of around $110 billion.
Longest Bear Market in History?
Last week, Hacked reported that cryptocurrencies were less than a month away from their longest bear market in history. As of Friday, the crypto bear market had reached 398 days, which is roughly three weeks shy of the all-time record set in 2014-15. During that stretch, the bear market lasted 420 days.
Looking specifically at bitcoin, we are about seven days away from hitting the all-time record for longest bear market. As cryptocurrency analyst Josh Rager noted, bitcoin's longest correction spanned from Nov. 2013 to Jan. 2015, lasting 410 days in total.
"Very soon, you will be able to say that you survived the longest crypto market correction in BTC history," Rager said.
The hope that a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) would kick start a bullish revival in the market was shot down earlier this week after the Chicago Board Options Exchange pulled its application for the VanEck-SolidX Bitcoin Trust. Gabor Gurbacs, who heads VanEck's digital asset operation, said the application was temporarily withdrawn as parties continue to work with regulators "to build appropriate market structure frameworks for a bitcoin ETF."

An MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) gritty is played on the cyberspace, set in a virtual mankind in which galore grouping are performing and interacting with at the selfsame example. Currently the maximal MMO in Northeasterly Usa, certainly the most talked active MMO, is Reality of Warcraft (WoW). Too WoW, yet, there are several MMO games targeted at and marketed to children; late I started reading virtually these "kid-friendly" MMOs and I started to mull what scrap an MMO would eff on children and their power.
There are individual MMOs out there for kids. There are unhampered versions (free-to-play) and subscription versions, but they're all improved around one generality: MMO games can make BIG money. How do they do this? They are experts at creating an atmosphere that gets you to unresolved your wallet and they state psychological tools that depute addictive conduct. Numerous adults get a shrewd dimension spotting this, how can you wait your kids to?
MMO games - The Business Cost
Most MMO games acquire a tiered group, a liberal portion and a payed object. How these two sections of the gamy interact depends on the business toy of the gritty. There are two primary and definite strategies a society could try to use:
One is the monthly subscription representation. In this hypothesis, to savor the stentorian courageous you feature to pay a monthly fee. Oftentimes this means the clear parcelling of the spirited is time-limited; you can download the gritty, quantity for the experimentation point and erstwhile it's over, you'll possess to pay to stronghold playing. Alternately, you power be able to maintain playacting the freed cover more try and example to achieve the selfsame goals as a subscribing member, if it's at all doable. The occupation faculty typically cue you, as oft as feasible, that your vivification and gaming live would be easier if you meet channelise them several money. This latter work is the one busy by Toontown, an MMO publicised by Disney and marketed to kids.
The opposite is the Microtransaction sit. In this system, the spirited does not human a monthly fee but they request options to buy credits (with historical money) that you can pay in the strategy for bonuses. The "Coins" characteristic on Facebook games is an instance of this - sometimes, strategy diversion is not unnatural by these items and they are exclusive for the grouping who essential gasconade rights, but commonly they do move the mettlesome and release high advantages to those pick to pay for them. The term Microtransaction refers to the fact that typically these purchases are littler typically ranging from fivesome dollars weeny enough to seem least, big enough to add up quickly.
The attitude and society of "keeping up with the Joneses" is something that MMO games actively encourage, whether it is having the newest and preeminent persuasion, a specific specific edition part, or sharing awards to the top players. It encourages players to modification someone and pay more money.
MMO games and Creativity
There is real less faithful ability in MMO games. They are carefully organized to resource you playacting for as unsound as workable, oft doing the equal continual tasks over and over again to wax money, experience, or to assemble any new in-game goal. There power be any problem-solving in-game but, within the confines of the brave, there is a extent to how difficult a problem can be and a extent to how productive the bleach power be. There are so umpteen additional much inventive activities kids can be doing!
MMO games and Addictive Activity
There are umpteen strategies victimized by MMO spirited makers that you should be worried almost. Peradventure the most unrefined task in MMOs is "husbandry" in which you requirement to take a periodical of objects to channelise in for a reinforcement. You amass 20 blueish stars, work them in to invite a shiny trophy fix, and move on to grouping 20 red squares so you can get your shiny gold switch. This strongly echoes the behaviour psychotherapy concept of stimulant: deplume on a tumbler and get a benefit or stimulation. In this installation was pioneered by B.F. Histrion, whose studies suggested that you can control a subjects behavior only by creating a scenario to be played out and a act for doing so correctly. MMOs bonk this physician to a study. You fulfil one continual extend to greet your act before rolling on to the succeeding strain, a duty that is often conscionable a few eyeglasses diverse from the preceding one.
MMO games run on a scheme of rewards, accomplishments, and one-upmanship. There is a intact trophy segment in Toontown where players with the top scores for varied accomplishments are posted for the earth to see - but to get this acknowledgment you have to diversion and jest a lot. The weak wit does not readily distinguish between virtual and proper accomplishments; employed for hours to obtain a specific item in a business is as substantial as creating something in the existent reality, as far as your wit is preoccupied. This is a really addictive and chancy element to games. The lineament connexion can be so tough that several countries much as Peninsula now
{become addicting activity and MMO games actively encourage it. It keeps you activity (steady if these items person no move touch on the strategy) and keeps you payment.
They also state Psychologist's theory of "Varied Ratio Rewards" - which gives you items or rewards at random to prepare you performing. Kindred to receptacle machines, you dungeon playacting because the next one power be the "big win." Is this the type of conduct we want to encourage in our kids?
All figure of these tactics can be joint to create a highly addictive environment. Get our Organization Stars, for information. We necessity to due 20 to change our Shiny Achromatic Switch (Reenforcement). Still, Cheerless Stars can only be recovered under Naif Rocks, not Red or Down Rocks, so there's a haphazard try to uncovering the aright careen to Naif Rocks (many Varied Ratio Rewards). But, underneath all rocks, we human a bittie try (say one percent) to perceive a super-rare Golden Shiny Hat (flush author Varied Ratio Rewards and One-upmanship). Erst we eventually hear all our Cheerless Stars, we are secure to get our Shiny Greyness Fasten but now we can try to get our Shiny Metallic Add (One-upmanship) by assembling Red Squares, and the noesis starts again. In that elliptic quest, the designers hold managed to fit one
disparate addictive strategies, applied six nowadays, soul secure that the player gift assure every bingle sway they become crossways while convincing them that it's worth their period.
Through the use of behaviour controls, you can see how specified a acicular search has revolved into a large time descend. We started by upright having to ascertain Naive Rocks for 20 Blueish Stars, which with a lonesome programme of Operation would compel 20 Naive Rocks, but thanks to Star Ratio Rewards, we'll belike have to defect 80 Viridity Rocks to get those Amobarbital do anything too look shiny), we'll mar the Red and Dark Rocks too. Assuming an yet distribution, we'll end up checking around 240 Rocks in enumerate, 80 of each rationalise. 240 rocks to mature 20 Juicy Stars. But at minimal we'll probably get our Metallic Shiny Hat, aright? Too bad everybody added has one too and are now hunting for a Shimmering Yellowness Cape instead.
This is one of the simplest examples of addictive activeness controls in an MMO, there are umteen galore more. Now imagine that you could pay a monthly fee to unlock a Specific Magnifying Glassful that gives you a possibility to conclude that Shimmering Gilded Earth while hunt for the Gold Shiny Hat. If you're emotionally invested in the MMO, you mightiness really symptomless metamorphose financially endowed too.

The most powerful of all impulses for the progress of any society is not the work of old men — politicians, business people, and all those who control our lives — but the ambitions of young persons. A society whose young minds no longer believe in moral ideals is decaying, without hope, and regretful of its past. The exploits of great and learned men and women can only have meaning if they will move or inspire the young, for the foundation of any modern civilization is ultimately the freedom of its citizens to pursue those things that will make human life meaningful.
But our civilization is in great danger. Most young people today are now integrated into the devious schemes created by capitalism. Any millennial out there will find it almost impossible to live without a gadget at hand. Without them fully realizing it, the ill consequence to this is that there is now a price tag to everything, including people's happiness. The young often easily confuse pleasure for happiness and satisfaction for self-realization.
The political and social upheavals in the 1970s defined how the youth then reasoned out and acted on issues. Social justice meant that for them, the ideals of freedom are without value if human life is not dedicated to the great cause of equality. But modern consumerism hides from young people the idea of class warfare. Our youth do not feel any antagonism to the great divide that characterizes Philippine society and its oligarchic nature.
Education in many of our schools have not provided that sense of reasonableness, given that even the systems school officials impose are oppressive. But the young know the problems that bother the world as a whole. The young, in this regard, are openly exposed at an early age to the reality of a society that disregards the rights of people. Indeed, critical thinking is wanting in so many ways among our officials.
Most millennials have since lost the meaning of genius and the value of creative work. Our culture is in decline because of the mass media. According to Walter Benjamin, great works of art, all of which exclaim the high point of modern civilization, are peddled for mass consumption through technical reproduction. Such is the lonely end point that results from making everything "instant."
Today, internet connectivity determines how people engage with one another, but in a very superficial way. Whereas in the past the television set and the couch served as the centers of interaction at home, today the internet dictates people's relation to one another. Trending is just another term for a mass of young individuals who are too tired to think. For instance, many young people no longer see the value of story-telling. People make themselves busy with so many things, only to realize that the important things are those that we actually take for granted.
People have become the tragic picture of that diminished value of the interpersonal. Face-to-face encounters are demeaned when two people immediately hook themselves onto their gadgets. The modern world of human beings has lost the value of actual presence. The world is now so much poorer because of the young's tragic loss of that sense of innocence.
Modern times are no longer the story of man being controlled by machines, for even dehumanization has now become an irreverent virtual battle in this modern age.
Young people are exposed to many illusions. Virtual reality is the invention of technical rationality. As a way of doing things, it has essentially made much of our existence absurd. Leovino Ma. Garcia says that by reducing everything, including human relationships, to the instrumental, "we render our whole existence meaningless." The meaning of human achievement in this regard has become that form of self-absorption that is anchored on material success at the expense of others. This is the threat in our midst against which millennials must wage a war.

The Benefits of Sandalwood Powder for Your Face
If you think sandalwood is just a beautiful type of incense for your home, think again. Sandalwood comes in many forms, including sandalwood powder for your face. It is a natural way to treat a variety of different skin conditions. While it's nothing new, it's been increasing in popularity recently because of its proven effectiveness and healthful benefits for your skin.
Wondering how you can use sandalwood powder for your face? Here are some reasons to use it.
1- Clearing up blemishes
Skin that produces an excess of oil and sebum tends to get more cluttered with dirt, impurities and germs. They get trapped below the surface in the pores and bam! That's how pimples and blemishes happen. Use one tablespoon of sandalwood powder with one teaspoon of milk and just a pinch of turmeric powder. It will form a paste that you'll slather on. Let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing off. Watch your skin glow afterward! It's even effective for acne!
2- Helps tans fade
If you don't want to get darker, you can use sandalwood powder to lighten your skin tone. Much like clearing away blemishes, you can mix sandalwood powder with milk or even honey (just make sure it's raw, organic and unprocessed). Use it as a mask and wash off with cold water. You'll need to do this three times a week to lighten up your skin tone to the shade you desire.
3- Turns back the hands of time
Maybe it's Cher's secret for turning back time. Sandalwood powder is effective for ridding you of those pesky lines that form over time, turning skin into its former firm and supple appearance. Texture improves and the signs of aging fade away. Use it as a paste for 10 minutes each day to harness the anti-aging effects of sandalwood powder.
4- Cures dry skin
Dry skin makes us look older. It makes our makeup look chalky too, and we don't want that, do we? Try using the sandalwood powder as a paste like we discussed before. Just 30 minutes twice a week will help restore your skin to a soft and supple appearance. Your skin becomes infused with the oils contained in the sandalwood powder and becomes better and better with every use.
5- Makes dull and discolored skin ravishingly radiant
Just like it fades away unwanted tans, you can use sandalwood powder to fade hyperpigmentation. Unlike whitening creams with harmful chemicals that can cause cancer, sandalwood powder is safe as well as effective for lightening your skin. Used as a paste with milk and turmeric powder, it will reveal your best and most refreshed skin yet with dark spots fading away fast.
6- Excellent for exfoliation
If you want your skin to always look its best, you need to exfoliate it regularly. Using natural forms of exfoliation is the best way to slough off dead skin cells to reveal your best and most youthful appearance. Sandalwood powder is a fantastic natural exfoliant because it does so quite well and without irritating your skin. If you mix a tablespoon of it with a tablespoon of black chickpea powder and some rose water (or milk if you'd rather), then it will make a delightful paste. You'll want to apply it in a circular motion. Leave it on for 30 minutes before rinsing off to enjoy your beautifully refreshed skin.
7- Soothes and protects from environmental aggressors
If you spend any time in the sun or outdoors, all the factors from the environment can attack your skin. Free radicals from these environmental elements can do untold damages. When you cleanse them away with certain cleansers, you can strip your skin of the essential oils deep inside of it, making it age even further. What's a gal to do? Use sandalwood powder to stop the ill effects of environmental stress. If you mix 2 tablespoons of it with a tablespoon of raw, unprocessed organic honey and one egg yolk, you'll be left with a goopy paste that you'll want to leave on for an hour. Doing this on the regular is going to give you that refreshed and renewed skin you've been missing!
It's true that sandalwood powder has a royal ton of benefits for the skin. Using it often is going to remove unwanted blemishes, brighten your skin, keep it youthful and absolutely glowing. The best part is that sandalwood powder is non-abrasive and completely natural so you'll never have to worry that you're putting harmful chemicals into your skin.
Take your skin back to nature and let natural sandalwood powder be your go-to skincare item for every skin problem. One word of advice though: make sure you're buying authentic sandalwood powder. As you may have guessed, there are a lot of cheap imitations out there. To spot a fake, you'll need to keep a keen eye out. Generally, if the price is unusually low, it's a sign you're not getting the real deal.
Other ways to tell are if the powder quality isn't refined, if there are misspellings on the ingredients or instruction manual, no contact information for customer service, or the absence of an address for the manufacturer and/or importer. Buy wisely though and you will get to reap the many amazing benefits of sandalwood powder for your face.

So, I'm a little weird– or at least my eating habits can be. When I used to eat what I considered to be "unhealthy" foods, I had a very limited diet. I didn't eat a diverse array of foods at all; instead I ate large amounts of the bad foods with limited variety. If you check out my recipe for broccoli in garlic sauce, you'll see in the blurb before the recipe where I mention that dish was one of the few I got from Chinese takeout. Actually, it was probably 1 of 3 dishes I ever got. Well, another familiar food was burgers. Burgers were practically the only thing I got when I went out to eat with my parents as a kid. Seriously, ask them. No matter what type of restaurant it was, if they had burgers, I got a burger– with fries. Specialty burgers, plain Jane cheeseburgers, but always a burger.
Now, fast forward years later– I eat relatively healthy now, and I eat a huge variety of foods with all types of preparation–not just sautéed veggies — although I eat a lot of (sautéed) veggies these days — but all sorts fried stuff, baked stuff, stuff I'm still not sure how to pronounce (is it SAY-TAN, SEE-TAN, or SAY-TON??), and international fare. The past me would fall over dead if it saw the future me, like "who are you and where is your burger?!"
Of course, in my limited vegan world knowledge, I didn't know what to expect when it came to foods like burgers. I never stopped loving them– even before going vegan I started eating healthier, and for me, that included eating a lot less meat, but I always loved a good burger every now and then.
But in my vegan exploratory stage (which is still happening actually), I discovered the amazing company Beyond Meat. Then, I discovered the Beyond Meat burger. Then, I discovered true happiness. Okay, I'm slightly exaggerating, but seriously, I finally got my hands on some Beyond Meat burgers, which started being sold to the public in May 2016.
It's 100% plant-based protein, has under 300 calories in one 1/4 pound patty, and contains no soy or GMO's. It also has (drum-roll please!) 30% of the daily recommended value of Iron! The only downside is it does have a lot of fat– probably as much as a beef burger patty– but a full-fat burger is an indulgence that is completely allowed. And anyway, I rather my fat come from plants than cows.
But maybe its the fat that adds to the flavor. The amazing flavor of these burgers is insane! I don't really like comparing vegan items to meat– I can't speak for all vegans, but the only reason I do it is to try to convince meat-eaters that they won't be missing out on much if they ditch meat. But I really couldn't tell the difference between this burger and some meat burgers I've eaten in the past. The flavor and texture are spot on.
Although I just had burgers on my birthday a few days ago, making these came about because I really wanted sweet potato fries– then that made me want burgers again. And I had forgotten that I bought these a couple of weeks ago anyway, and I never froze them so I didn't want them to go bad. Its a good thing I had that sweet potato fries craving. But that's another amazing thing about vegan food– being that everything is plant-based, it usually lasts a lot longer. Can you imagine forgetting about beef burgers in the fridge for over a week? The smell would probably remind you before you remembered!
But anyway, these were all good reasons to make burgers, so that's what I did. I had them for dinner tonight and I literally could not contain my excitement– they were SO. FRICKIN. AMAZING. I used a grilling pan also, which I think added to the flavor, not to mention gave the patties some cool grill marks (see inset above). I am more excited everyday as I discover all of the food I am not missing out on because it exists in my new vegan world. In fact, I have yet to find food that can't be "veganized"!
Scroll down to see awesome pics of the burger, which I served with sweet potato fries– not from scratch, but still delish.
A few deets on the burger: I seasoned them with a little bit of salt and pepper before grilling. Then, I decked them out with some kale, tomato, red onion, and coconut herb vegan cheese slices. The sauce is Organic Sriracha and Roasted Garlic BBQ sauce from, of course, Trader Joe's.
And by the way, this cheese is so dope– I also used it in my roasted corn and fava bean salad.
PRO Tip: The buns I used were basic, store-brand, cheap (but vegan!) hamburger buns. But they look all glossy and brioche-like don't they? All I did was smooth a tiny layer of olive oil over the top and threw them in a warm oven for about 3 minutes. I don't know the exact temperature the oven was at because it was cooling down from the sweet potato fries, but it might have been about 300 degrees or so. After you take them out, not only are they a little toasty, but you get that glossy "egg-wash" effect on the top bun!

nix377 replied to quadcrazy's topic in General ATV DiscussionChoosing an ATV can be overwhelming at first. There a ton of good and bad opinions about all the major manufacturers. The first thing you have to do is be honest with yourself about how you plan to use it. I've seen several friends buy machines they later regretted for this very reason. Some wanted mud machines, and quickly realized they only get into the mud a small percentage of their riding time. Others bought sport quads that weren't practical for woods and trail riding at our local trails. I was lucky enough to have one of each. When we rode dirt roads and fast trails I took the sport, for snow and mud trails i took the utility atv. Now that I'm old and ride slower, I have one utility quad. Speed is no longer a factor, it's about the comfort for my aging body. I've owned ATV's from every manufacturer and there were things I loved and hated about all of them. They all have their pluses and minuses. Do your research, test drive as many as you can and most importantly, once you buy one enjoy it as much as you can!
How did you get into Quads?
nix377 replied to Mikey69's topic in General ATV DiscussionI didn't discover ATV's until I was in my late 30's. In 2004 I bought a Polaris 250 two stroke from a co-worker to use for hunting. I was immediately hooked. At one point I had the wife and kids involved. We had four atv's and a SXS. Sadly over the past few years we have dwindled down to one again. The kids are in high school/ college and between sports, friends, and work they have little time for the sport. My wife can no longer ride due to a back injury. I still ride as much as I can and I have a side business doing repairs so I still get to put my hands on all kinds of machines It's a great and highly addictive sport
Did you ever end up finding the manual you were looking for?
Thank you
I also came here back in 2015 looking for a manual. I was able to find one and forgot all about this place. I was researching another issue for a friend's quad and was re-introduced to this place by google. I do have a few manuals I might be able to contribute, is there somewhere to upload them on here, or just respond to requests?
LOL, I found this while researching an issue with an old King quad I was able to figure it out, but being able to download the manual would be nice too! Is there something you have to do besides getting 10 posts?

"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart."
- William Wordsworth
The Author's motto:
LITERATUM UTILITAS IN DEFENS VERITAS The Use of Literature in Defense of Truth
The Warrior's Song -
shall not be vanquished!
The words I use in my battle will
forever and people will hear
My voice until the victory of Truth."
©ALP Gouthier
When I finished writing my first book Pindorama and toiled through its translation into Portuguese, I thought of next
putting together a less laborious volume based on a collection of poetry, which I had previously written. But as I thought about verses often being difficult to comprehend without the historical background, I decided it was best to write a short story to accompany
each of these poems, and at last organised my material in chronological order. It was then that I perceived that I had written an auto-biography.
Yet uncertain whether this was an advisable endeavour, I moved along largely because so much work had already been produced. And yet, after I finished the first draft, I perceived how often I spoke in riddles, mostly only making allusions to actual events.
I then had to go through the whole book again filling in information, which by the end was still scant and haphazard, leaving so much unsaid. But at the moment I cannot do any better.
As I think that autobiographies of unknown people are usually rather insignificant, I decided to give to my prose a touch of lyricism. By this ruse, I allowed some of the people I wrote about to hide behind legendary personae, alive
mostly in Greek Mythology. And suddenly my characters created wings and started to express their inner thoughts, whereas before they had been markedly reticent. Thus freed, these some of my characters acquired parallel lives and danced through the pages, along
with the stories of their real lives.
I have recently come across a book entitled Woman Warrior, by
Maxine Hong Kingston, who was born in California, in 1940. Being a first generation Chinese American, this author was brought up in China Town, by Chinese parents, mostly segregated from her fellow Americans. And she writes about the experiences of Chinese
immigrants living in the United States.
In her book 'The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood
Among Ghosts' she blends autobiography with old Chinese Folktale. Her major character or the Woman Warrior is Hua Mulan, is a legendary woman warrior from the Chinese Han Dynasty (420–589). The myth relates that Hua Mulan, who was known for
practicing martial arts, takes the place of her aged father in the army. At the time, one male from each family was obliged to serve in the defence of China, and her only brother was still too young to fulfil this task. After twelve years of fighting,
the army returns home and Hua Mulan is sad to find out that her father has died in her absence.
a way, my Bronze Warrior is also partly biographical, as related to an ongoing family saga and partly lyrical and poetic. In my tales, I often used real names when by these people authorised, but in other cases I thought it best just to use similar appellations,
or outright pseudonyms. But for the sake of genealogy, I always included a maternal surname, when I knew it, before the father's surname, and at times the marriage surnames by the end of this, as it is the custom in some parts of the world.
I finally declare that everyone mentioned in this book really lived, including the ones to whom I have given mythological qualities or faults, and also about whom I have only written in lyrical terms.
I also found it wise to substitute some names, with similar ones, usually keeping the same initials, when I felt these people would not like to see their names in print, as in the case of my immediate family.
Additionally, in the case of families when the first male son of each generation is given the same name, I chose to slightly modify each name, with variations on the same theme, so as to avoid confusion. Thus, I along with my father
Antonio, my grandfather became Antunes, my brother Antenor, my nephew Agenor and so on.
Even though the background of this book is real, I know that sometimes the stories I relate
may sound rather colourful or strange. Some of them were strange to me too. We, that is my immediate family, have lived lives that alternated from periods of heavenly peace ― usually within our own circle, to hellish dismay ― usually brought about by people
the outside our family. And we have experienced emotions from happiness and full contentment, to their opposites of horror, fear and misery, always as a result of torment external to our midst. I do not know if the same could be said of most families, but
I doubt it.
It will become clear then why I needed to come to live in a country like England, where the sequence of most days is fairly predictable. In this northern island, long-term
plans come to fruition without much ado, usually like clockwork. And I think it is heavenly. In Brazil plans are ignored, commitments not kept, dreams are ridiculed and dreamers stoned. Much still has to change for people to be able to live in that beautiful
country without fear.
As a writer, I have signed my work using the three initials of my maiden name,
in addition to my marriage surname. In the narrative, however, I refer to myself as Anastasia Persephone. This persona was a creation of mine at a time when I feared exposing myself for reasons that will become obvious. I chose the designation Anastasia
because it is similar to my own name, and Persephone because I was married to a Greek. In Greek mythology, Persephone was a human who married the king of Hell. How very apt for an ex-husband!
My first purpose as a writer is to relate the story of my family, because we have been so maligned that we deserve a chance to defend ourselves. And the second purpose
is the commercial aspect. It would be hypocrisy to pretend otherwise! I think that each one of us should try to find ways to make ourselves economically independent so as not to be a burden to society.
So, the basic information in this book is factual and not imaginary. I do not wish to modify the truth, as credibility is of the utmost importance to me.
I have more than once been told that the truth is relative, but the biographical information I present here is veracious. I have only fictionalised on very few occasions by making characters' express their thoughts, which were not actually directly transmitted
to me.
I must also explain that the title 'Bronze Warrior' is not an allusion to a self-proclaimed capacity for survival, but instead it is the name I gave to the
bronze bust portrayed on the cover, which had been decorated with a crown of empty bullet shells. I will relate later in this book the story of how this statue and this photo came about.
I inform that the beautiful cover of this book was the work of my very artistic friend Arthur Menezes, who kindly offered to me. Arthur is also the author of the cover of my first book Pindorama & Ancient Human Trails.

Belo Horizonte, London, and elsewhere.
of the opposing quotes above on the subject of messages are true, though they express opposite thoughts. What is different between them is the point of view. The first was written by someone who meant to commit Hara-kiri, or the ceremonial Japanese suicide.
There was for him, therefore, no time or will to use words.
The second statement was composed by myself when I dared to write about my own life and of those
who lived by me. My exacerbated fear of exposure is explained by the fact that during my lifetime my family and myself attracted much unwelcome attention in the city were we lived. We had our characters utterly disparaged, first locally and later even by the
national press. Therefore, my purpose in writing is to challenge fallacies and not to create further mendacity. So I here present my motto as a writer:
Use of Literature in Defence of Truth"
wishing to stoke the furnace of discord in some parts world, I was very careful when writing about contentious subjects involving people who are unfriendly to my family and my own. It was for this purpose that I allowed myself a degree of lyrical license in
my interpretation of their thoughts and their motives.
I take up the mission of defending some of my family, and myself, against moral injury by relating
our version of the events which raised so much interest in our hometown. These stories were usually distorted and augmented in the telling, or just purposely twisted to suit the will of those who told them. And then again, other horrendous accusations
were actually outright lies created to satisfy resentment, or other malign purposes.
Now I have to present myself, knowing that as I write, you, my readers,
might read my words when I am still alive, or only much later, when I have become just a spectre of the past.
I was born in the city of Belo Horizonte, situated
in the mountains of Minas Gerais, in the heart of Brazil. As the first-born child of prosperous parents, who adored and protected me throughout their lives, I had everything I could have desired. I was given a very good and extensive education and travelled
around the world whenever I wished, always enjoying the best that life could offer.
I was almost twenty years old when I went to university in America and was,
at the time, full of plans to go back to Brazil to work with my father in his diverse business interests. But as time went by, many things changed, both at home and within myself, causing me not to want not to return. Every year though, without fail, throughout
my life, I have gone back home for at least two months to be with my family, very especially with my mother.
But, returning in time, after four years of undergraduate
university in Boston, I went to live in London, where I later married and had two children. But suddenly, when my daughter and son were six and nine respectively, unforeseen circumstances caused me to go back to Belo Horizonte with my children, and there we
resided for about ten years.
The events of those years, right after the death of our parents, were very traumatic for my immediate family ― that is my brother,
sister and me. We had to unite to organise the distribution of our father´s estate, in accordance with our lawful obligations, to consanguineous relations with whom we had no contact. Unfortunately, some of these people were not satisfied, as they had
personal grudges against my father. And their anger was vented on the three children of his marriage.
After this troubled part of my life I moved to Rio de Janeiro
at the very end of the twentieth century. Fortunately, by then, my children were already big enough to go back to England to live with their father and continue their education there. I had been so concerned for them while they were in Brazil, given all the
nefarious goings-on that were often reported in the national media at the time, such as assaults and kidnappings.
I never felt at home in Rio, or perhaps I really
did not try to. I am probably too different from the Cariocas, being a Mineira, who has lived for so long abroad. I must admit that I was not at the time much given to socialising, as the recent ordeal in Belo Horizonte had been too harrowing. I had even had
my life threatened, first in one, then in the other of those two cities of my country of birth. But as Nietzsche said:
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger."
In the aftermath of those deplorable episodes I was horrified by the easy use of verbs such as shoot, kill or kidnap.
These concepts of violence had been too distant from the reality of my life until then, only witnessed at second hand in the cinema or on television. Even though Brazil may be a country where the news is at times terrifying, I had lived a peaceful existence
protected by devoted parents and ample means.
More than ever, I became aware of how different my life was to those who threatened me. And I wondered why they
behaved in such manner. Was it because they had lived in an environment bereft of respect for people, and they thought my life had been the same? Well it was not.
So having taken the necessary steps to protect myself and to safeguard my peace of mind, one day I went back to the place where I had been happy for so long, to England. Here another saying comes to mind, in Portuguese, and in my own translation:
"Há males que vem para o bem."
"Some ills turn into fortune."
Now I ask myself ― have I always been fond of solitude as I do now, or did it become a habit after the isolation necessary
for survival through the hard times? I do enjoy the company of some people, with whom I do not have to play a role, and can relax. But I am also overly fond of silence!
For sure, there were periods in my life when I enjoyed the social whirl, mostly outside Brazil, when I had the time for it ― after university and before the birth of my children. Nightlife and intensive travelling are best enjoyed when we are free
of such commitments.
In general, I must admit, I have very methodically organised my life
to fulfil my aspirations and meet what I see as my obligations, because it is not in my nature to act impulsively or take unnecessary risks. And now that some years have passed after the unpleasant events described, I still prefer to have a very private life,
which gives me a wonderful feeling of tranquillity. And I hereby quote myself:
"Privacy is a great jewel to be obtained
through the invisibility of distance
and the silence
of time."

"My pseudonym is not meant to hide my identity, but is my identity"
From an
unknown author.
"Chance is the pseudonym of God when he did
not want to sign." - Theophile Gautier
in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." ― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
As my immediate family and I never enjoyed seeing our names in print, I thought it best to create pseudonyms for each of us. I also decided that it was prudent to use care when writing about people with whom
I have developed a belligerent relationship, so their occasional appearances in my story have also been favoured with aliases. As they say, one must not speak of the devil so as not to attract him. So, I never utter the name of those I do not wish to see.
Having decided to use assumed names, I chose them mostly from Greek Mythology. And my choice of denomination for each person is based on the similarities, from my point of view, between these mythological personages
and each of these people in real life.
In an attempt to explain the beginning of the world in accordance with Greek Mythology I list the primordial deities, who were the first gods and goddesses
born from Chaos or Chronos, the personification of time. While Gaia, the Earth, gave birth to the Titans who became members of the second order of beings, who preceded the numerous Olympian characters.
So, now I present my immediate family, and some people to me closely related:
Anastasia Persephone da Cattapreta Luciânia Mavroleon Gouthier – is your author A.L.P.
Gouthier's, as well as the main character and narrator.
Persephone in mythology is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter
who was abducted by Hades, god of the underworld. Each time Persephone returned to earth marked the start of spring. In this biography, Anastasia Persephone is the mother of Xena, the warrior princess, and Perseus, a demi-god.
It was the rule of the Fates that anyone who consumed food or drink while in the underworld was doomed to spend eternity there. As Hades gave Persephone pomegranate seeds to eat, she was condemned to spend several months of each
year in the underworld. During these months, Persephone sat on the throne of the netherworld beside her husband Hades.
The Fates
were the incarnations of destiny who controlled the threads of lifestyles of every mortal from birth to death.
Zeus de Rezende Pereira Luciânia – is Anastasia Persephone's father.
In Greek Mythology Zeus was the god of the sky and ruler of the Olympian gods. His
weapon was the thunderbolt, which he hurled at those who displeased him, especially liars, and he used his shield to create storms and tempests. As the ruler of the State he was the source of kingly power, upholder of institutions and protector of his community,
especially of the poorest and the less fortunate. He was married, but often tested his wife's patience as he was infamous for his many affairs.
Clara Demeter Dayrell da Cattapreta Luciânia – is Anastasia Persephone's mother.
Demeter in the myth is the goddess of the harvest who made the
crops grow each year. When her daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades to be his wife, Demeter laid a curse on the earth that caused plants to wither. Zeus, alarmed, sought Persephone's return. It was therefore decreed that Persephone would only spend part
of each year in the underworld, and during these months Demeter withdrew her gifts from the world, causing the Earth to cool, thus creating winter. And Persephone's return each year brought forth spring. Mother Demeter
was also known for founding the Eleusinian Mysteries, which were initiations held every year for the cult of Demeter and Persephone. These relate not only to the return to life every spring, but also to the reincarnation of the human soul in a next life.
Antenor da Cattapreta Pereira Luciânia - is Anastasia Persephone's brother.
In Greek Mythology Antenor was the counsellor of King Troy, who before the start of the Trojan War tried to avoid a conflict in favour of a peaceful resolution.
my story, he always wished to depart to where he could live in peace but never achieved his dream, unlike his sister Persephone. His aspirations were eventually realised by his son Agenor.
Clarissa Demetria da Cattapreta Luciânia Tiburtia - is Anastasia Persephone's younger sister, who professed to be the very opposite of Anastasia.
Her name bears a double reference to her mother's name, Demeter, with whom she shared many traits, but not all. They were both connected to the earth, from
which they could grow the most beautiful flowers. She also never departed from the land of Zeus and was married to Tiburtius.
Alexander Eros Martinez Dallarosa – Jo ― was Anastasia Persephone's great love of youth. He took her from the Snows of Boston to the Island of Peace. The memory of his love made it impossible for her to find peace anywhere else in the
whole universe, other than in the island of his dreams. So, she always returned to his land, the famed Island of Peace.
According to Hesiod, c. 700 BC, Eros was the fourth god to come into existence, after Chaos, Gaia, and Tartarus ― the Abyss. In the myth, as Eros falls in love with Psyche, the human soul, his fragile peace is ruined by Psyche's mortal dreams and plans. Thus
wounded, Eros departs and Psyche ― his Persephone, forever wanders through the Earth looking for him.
Elias Edward Hades
Inglessis Mavroleon - was Anastasia Persephone's first husband, and is the father of Anastasia's children, Xena Olympia and Michael Perseus.
The mythological Hades is the King of
the Underworld and ruler of the dead. At his command, mighty thunders flash and lightning rolls.
As words have power, the Greeks were not keen on uttering his name. So, they also called him Plouton,
deriving from the word for wealth.
Though an Olympian, Hades usually preferred to reside in the Underworld where his favourite weapon was a pitchfork with which he created earthquakes. And on his
travels through the land of living he mostly chose to wear his helmet of invisibility, which allowed him to see all though himself remaining unseen.
Xena Olympia Luciânia Mavroleon del Tyrol – is the daughter of Anastasia Persephone and Edward Hades Mavroleon.
Olympia was the site of the first Olympic
games in 776 BC. It is located on the western edge of the Greek Peloponnese and became the centre of worship of Zeus. And Olympia is also the name of Antonio Zeus's mother - Olympia de Rezende.
Whereas Xena, the myth, is a Warrior Princess. In her legendary journeys Xena redeems herself for any villainous activities she might have committed in the past, and thus becomes a hero trying to help people in need. Her weapon of choice was the 'chakram',
a throwing armament which she masterfully deflected to multiple targets in one throw.
In her struggles through life, Xena Olympia allied herself with the warriors of the South-Tyrol, where one day
she meets and marries Vladan of Tyrol.
Michael Perseus de Luciânia Mavroleon – is the son of Anastasia
Persephone and Edward Hades Mavroleon.
According to the myth, Perseus grew up to become a strong young man who bravely set forth on his adventures. In an unknown country, he entered the cave belonging
to the Medusa, who was a creature whose terrifying gaze petrified anyone who looked into her eyes. Perseus tricked the Medusa and cut off her head, which he put into a magic bag.
Back on his path,
Perseus came upon a beautiful woman chained to a rock. He asked her the reason for this and she explained, "I have been punished because my mother boasted that I was more beautiful than the sea nymphs." Perseus cut Andromeda's chains and they lived
happily together for many years. Their descendants became great kings.
Returning home from his travels, Perseus heard that the world had mistreated his mother Persephone, and he was furious and set
forth to avenge her. Thus, Perseus stormed the land and each time he said, "Let those who are my friends shield their eyes!" He would raise the Medusa's head from the magic bag, turning his enemies to stone.
Albert Ovid Freyr Gondin Gouthier ― is Anastasia Persephone's second husband, and her first ― though platonic, boyfriend. Albert Ovid's major traits are
gentleness and kindness. In the distant past, he had looked into Persephone's eyes and deeply fallen in love with her. So, in his heart, he waited a life time for her to come back into his life.
is one of the most important gods of the Norse religion. His name derives from the Proto-Norse word meaning sunshine and fair weather. In the Icelandic books of Edda Freyr, he rides a ship which always graced with auspicious breezes. Through the battle of
life, he used a magic sword with which to bestow peace on mortals.
While Albert Ovid Freyr is a descendent of the ancient Goths. These were an East Germanic people who dominated a vast area of central
Europe, which at its peak extended from the Danube to the Ural Mountains, and from the Black to the Baltic Sea.
"Freyr" (1901) by Johannes Gehrts.
Next, I list guest appearances in specific chapters, for whom I also found preferred to give pseudonyms.
Character in chapters 12, False Accusation, and Chapter 19, Fraternal Emotions:
- Myths and legends have different interpretations in accordance with the point of view. Tiburcio Vasquez, in the nineteenth century California was accused of thieving, but at the same time, he was seen by others in a more positive light. We shall never know
for sure, as it is the case with many folklores.
Characters in chapter 20, entitled Devilish Dance:
Polemos first makes an appearance in chapter 17 – Enforced Return and later in chapter 20 - Devilish Dance. In Greek Mythology he was the personification of strife, and in Aristophanes's play 'Acharnians' it was reported
that Polemos was banned from parties by disruptive behaviour. With Tumult, as his henchman, he brought war into the house of Zeus by burying peace.
The Yare Dancers, or the Dancing Devils of Yare (Los Diablos Danzantes del Yare).
This is also the name of a festivity celebrated in San Francisco de Yare,
Miranda state, Venezuela. By wearing fearful masks, the towns people hope to embody the powers represented by the masks.
Common examples of masks in Anastasia's nightmares are:
Tonius Yare masks are the most frequently worn. But, does a fierce appearance hides a dreadful soul? Not necessarily. The whole purpose of wearing a devilish mask is to conceal all thoughts and traits.
Solitarius Yare masks are endowed with startling blue or with piercing green eyes, are worn by the loners, or those
who do not adhere blindly to group thinking. These may be used by both man and women.
The She-Yare masks, are choices specifically for the women, who apparently grin to hide their real selves, or their dark thoughts.
there come "The Three Marys", that form the background unison chorus. They are represented by the three-headed eagle of the apocalypse. This image is a part of the second book of Esdras, or the hidden book, which points to the
forthcoming of wars that could lead to the end of the world.
Character in in chapter 21, entitled The Second Front:
In the Greek Mythology, the Hydra of Lerna is a serpentine
water monster, who dwelt at the entrance of the underworld. Every time she had her head chopped off she would regrow multiple heads.
In this chapter, the main character Anastasia Persephone becomes a Hydra.
Characters in chapter 33, entitled Mendacity:
Apate Pithos is a woman who gets involved in a convoluted plot aimed at extracting fortune from Persephone. After years of scheming, she fails to see any material profit from these plans.
As Apate in mythology is the embodiment of deceit, and Pithos is the Greek name of a large storage container, Apate Pithos represents a body of trickery and pretence.
Eduard Dolos was Apate's lover who first hatched the devilish plans aimed against Persephone.
In Greek mythology Dolos was the spirit of guile, who was an apprentice of the Titan Prometheus. He became a known for his skill when he made a statue of Veritas in clay, in order to trick people into thinking that
it was stone statue. His Roman equivalent is Mendacius.
Python Daimone Advocat was Apate's second ally in
this wicked design. In mythology Python was the earth-dragon of Delphi, and the name Python may derive from the verb 'pytho', meaning to rot.
She-Daimone Advocat is Apate's second ally in her attempt against Persephone. She belongs to the class of Daimores who hover above the earth in search of malevolent
The Daimones Advocats are presented between the inhabitants of Heavens and those of Earth.
The Daimones, according to Hesiod's myth, are spirits of nature, similar to ghosts, who are only felt, their unseen presence presumed, and they are often depicted with considerable
moral ambiguity.
The characterisation of the Daimones as dangerous was developed by Plato, whose Symposium teaches that love may be a daemon in the shape of hate. In the charge brought against Socrates, in 399 BC, Plato surmised
that Socrates had introduced daemonic beings into his writings, created by his own self-consciousness. Finally, the Pythagorean Commentaries state: "The whole air is full of souls", representing the view that 'Daemones' are internalised
by each person wishing to cause ill in order to serve as motivation and inspiration to those possessed of such spirits.
The famous and paradoxical saying of Heraclitus:
"Character is for Man his daemon". Could I rephrase it thus:
"The absence of
character is mankind's demon"?
The use of malign 'daemones' against other human beings is achieved by the
intentional profanation and moral misrepresentation of the victim's character.
"But what the point of this is?",
Anastasia exclaims. Is it just to torment me? I have already had my reputation destroyed. But that will not change my life now. "Or is it on the elusive hope of material gain?" That will also remain unfulfilled.

When you are managing responsibility and dreams, it helps to have a schedule. This will not only help you plan but make sure that everything from childcare to work schedules is in place. The more you have everything planned out, the fewer hiccups you'll find down the road.
Time for Friends and Family
When you pursue your dream it requires hard work and dedication. Often, that means sacrificing time with the most important people in your life. We want to see you succeed while also maintaining your relationships while creating most fond memories.
Because our three-day program is only three days a week, you will have plenty of time to still see family, and make time for all the special people in your life. Best of all, you have weekends free, so you won't find yourself missing out on making memories on the weekends!
Time to Relax
We understand how exhausting it can be to spend each day working hard toward your education and pursuing your dreams. It's easy to feel burnt out and as if you can't give it your all. With a three-day schedule, you will get a day between each school day to recharge, spend the day with the people you love, relax, go over your studies, and to just take time for yourself!
Find Success
Some people worry that with a three-day schedule you won't receive the same education as a full-time schedule. We couldn't disagree more. Here at TSPA Huntsville, you can receive the same education in your three-day schedule that those in our full-time schedule would. Our first priority is to see you succeed. With a license in hand you can have the opportunities to find a fulfilling career! Some of those careers can include:
- Salon Owner
- Personal Stylist
- Beauty Brand Ambassador
- Beauty Writer
- Beauty Business Consultant
These amazing career opportunities only graze the surface of what you can do with your education. With hard work, passion, and love for beauty. We don't see why you can't succeed!

– Hello, I am Katie Nolan, and this is the story
of the Blackhawks. Blackhawks? – You wanna do
"Black Hawk Down"? – Maybe.
– I feel, like, we should do– – Should we do the baseball
thing instead, and then maybe next time
we'll do "Black Hawk Down." – Yeah, [bleep], yeah.
God bless Josh Hartnett though. – Hello, I'm Katie Nolan, and this is the Black Sox
scandal.[old timey music]Our story begins in 1919,exactly 100 years ago.The Chicago White Soxare in the middle
of a winning season.They're owner,
Charles Comiskey,is a piece of shit.He's making a bunch of money.He hasn't even paid for their
laundering of their uniforms.The players are like,
this is bullshit.We're playing good baseball,and we should be
paid more moneybecause we're people
and we have families.So the–the players are being
[bleep]ed by ownership, and they were pissed.So Chick Gandil,
first baseman,he's like, look, I'm towards
the end of my career.I want to make
a bunch of money,and I can't make
a bunch of moneybecause I'm not getting
paid it.So Arnold Rothstein,
who was a mob dude…Arnold Rothstein
approaches him and he says,Hey, kid,I want to make money.
You want to make money.You play games for a living.I will pay you moneysand you will throw
the World Series.And he's like,
that's it?That's so easy.
I can lose.And so Rothstein said,look,
I'm glad you're on the team,but one person is not enough
to throw a baseball game.We're gonna need a lot
of other people.Maybe, like, eight people?So he called a meetingwith a bunch of players
on the team.Now, that included
Eddie Cicotte,Lefty Williams, and then
Shoeless Joe Jackson.And so Chick Gandil,
he's like,look, everybody,
I met this dude.He will give us $100,000if we lose the World Series.And a lot of them were like,uh, what?
I love baseball.All I've ever done is devoted
my life to baseball.And Chick's like,
yeah, no, I get it,but we can make
more money losingthan we will earn notoriety
the guys like,I will compromise everything
for some cash.So the players leave
that meeting,and they recruited a bunch
of dudes within the team.So they have eight people.I wanna bring the mic down
to my face. – [laughs]– We get to the point where
they get to the World Series.Chicago White Sox versus
Cincinnati Reds.Game one, best of nine.The White Sox,
heavily favored,and Eddie Cicotte takes
the mound.So the signal betweenthe players
and the gambling guywas that Eddie would hit
the very first batter.He winds up,
he throws his first pitch,and it's a perfect strike.He throws it right down
the middle,and everyone's like,
wait, what the [bleep]?I thought we were gonna
throw the game.Second pitch, winds up,
throws it.Thunk.
Hits the batter,and so everybody knows,
oh, it's on.So the game goes on
and on and on.Eddie throws terrible pitches.They lose 9-1.– Holy shit.– Papers come out the next day,
Derek. [giggles]
And they're like,what?But we got to go
on to game two.Throughout the series,
they keep losing.Whoopsies, I should have
probably caught that.And then they were like,oh, I wish I could throw
that to the plate,but I can only throw it
to the pitcher.Oh, a line drive.
[wimpy scream]Whoopsies.And Chick Gandil was like,I'm gonna get this. I got it.
I got it. I got it.And he waved everybody off,and then instead
he just didn't got it.– [laughs]– I'm getting too drunk to be
able to maintain– – You're okay. We're just gonna finish
that story. – So the series is 4-1.Lefty Williams says,hey, we have not received
any payments.We're not gonna keep throwing
our legacy for nothing.Let's go up it–
on the baseball field.Let's come from behindand win this World Series!Yeah!So for the next few games
they're, like, trying.They're winning,
then the night beforethe eighth game of the seriesArnold Rothstein
and his associatesvisited Lefty Williams
in his hotel room.Rothstein says,if by the first inningit isn't obvious
we're gonna lose,I'll murder your wife.And Lefty Williams was like,
I'm shook.So game eight,
Lefty goes out,he's the starting pitcher,
and he sucks.Real bad.
Like, on purpose bad,and they end up losing
10 to 5,and that's it.
The World Series is overand Cincinnati has won.People were shocked,and then there started
to be these rumors.People are like,
uh…it felt fixed.And the press labels
the White Sox the Black Sox.– Why?– It's black mark. It's bad. Forever.
– [laughs]– So there's a grand jury
investigation,and Eddie Cicotte
and Shoeless Joeboth break down in front
of the grand jury.And he said,yup, [slap resounds]
I did it.I have no family.
[slap resounds]I didn't make enough money.
[slap resounds]– Is your hand okay when you
did that?[slap resounds] – Ow, don't do that. [slap resounds]
– Hey, hey, hey.[slap resounds]Shoeless Joe was like,I am
Shoeless Joe Jacksonand I'm not wearing
any shoes! – [laughs] – This is what led to the very
first commissioner of baseball.He had the most
first name ever.Kenesaw Mountain Landis.He comes out and he's like,we won't stand for
no cheaters,and so all those eight meninvolved in
the Black Sox scandal,banned from baseball
for life.And so now there's
no more cheaters leftin major league baseball,except all the cheaters
that existed after that.I have no shoes on. Boop.
[mic thuds] Do you get it? It's black socks.

Global military expenditure rises to 1.686 tln USD in 2016
The total world military expenditure rose to 1.686 trillion U.S. dollars in 2016, an increase of 0.4 percent in real terms from 2015, according to a report released on Monday by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
According to the report, "the United States remains the country with the highest annual military expenditure in the world. U.S. military spending grew by 1.7 percent between 2015 and 2016 to 611 billion U.S. dollars."
The think tank said the growth in U.S. military expenditure in 2016 could signal the end of a trend of decreases in spending due to the economic crisis and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. However, U.S. spending in 2016 remained 20 percent lower than its peak in 2010.
"Despite continuing legal restraints on the overall U.S. budget, increases in military spending were agreed upon by Congress," said Aude Fleurant, director of the SIPRI Arms and Military Expenditure (AMEX) program.
"Future spending patterns remain uncertain due to the changing political situation in theUnited States."
Meanwhile, military expenditure in Western Europe "rose for the second consecutive year and was up by 2.6 percent in 2016." There were spending increases in all but three countries in Western Europe, and Italy recorded the most notable increase, with spending rising by 11 percent between 2015 and 2016, according to the report.
Overall spending in Central Europe grew by 2.4 percent in 2016.
"The growth in spending by many countries in Central Europe can be partly attributed to the perception of Russia posing a greater threat," researchers said Siemon Web researcher atSIPRI.
"This is despite the fact that Russia's spending in 2016 was only 27 percent of the combined total of European NATO members."
Trends and patterns in military expenditure vary considerably between regions. Spending continued to grow in Asia and Oceania, Central and Eastern Europe and North Africa. Bycontrast, spending fell in Central America and the Caribbean, the Middle East (based on countries for which data is available), South America, and sub-Saharan Africa.
Headquartered in Stockholm, SIPRI's research covers international conflicts, armaments, arms control and disarmament. (People's Daily)

A Shabbat Service of Solidarity
Join The New Reform Temple for #ShowUpForShabbat
Friday night, November 2nd at 6:00 pm, The New Reform Temple is gathering for #ShowUpForShabbat, a special Shabbat Service of Mourning and Solidarity.
The New Reform Temple is calling upon its synagogue members—along with elected officials, religious and civic leaders, and other communal allies—to flock to The New Reform Temple, as part of this nationwide #ShowUpForShabbat campaign initiated by the AJC.
11 Jews worshiping at Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh, PA were killed attending Sabbath Worship. This massacre was the worst Anti-Semitic event in American History. We worship together to honor their memories and to affirm our glorious American tradition of Freedom of Religion.
Our Interfaith community and its clergy will be present as well. We must ensure that love triumphs over hate, good over evil, unity over division. That's our America.
Come to The New Reform Temple this Friday night at 6:00 pm, November 2nd, and take a stand. Bring your neighbors. The New Reform Temple synagogue community needs to worship together this Shabbat and we need our neighbors to stand together with us.

Fairmont State University's Town & Gown Players is excited to return to campus with To Kill a Mockingbird, based on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family and neighbors, and an event that occurred near her hometown in 1936, when she was 10 years old.
A heartwarming coming-of-age story, the play is filled with warmth and humor, despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The action grows out of the memories of the play's narrator Jean Louise Finch, nicknamed Scout in her childhood. Scout's father, Atticus, a lawyer in the Depression-era South, defends a black man against an undeserved rape charge, and his children against prejudice.
Political historian Joseph Crespino wrote, "In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its protagonist, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism."
The Town & Gown Players have brought quality theatre to the North Central WV community for more than 50 years. This year is special as the Players returned to the beautiful environment of the Prickett's Fort Amphitheatre this summer with the same production.
The show is directed by Troy Snyder. The cast includes: Teresa Smallwood, Gwen Timbrell, Hank Temple, Rob Howard, Rowan Nelson, Tracy Evans, Seret Cole, Paige Shircliffe-Bowser, Bev Slagle, Steven Paugh, Justin Allan, Colby Collins, John Fallon, John O'Connor, Kyle Stewart, Shannon Yost, Antonio Dobbs, Scott McCutcheon, and Jahred King.
To Kill a Mockingbird will be presented at Fairmont State University on September 28, 29, 30, at 7:30p.m. A Sunday matinee will be held on October 1 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $8 for kids 12 and under, and can be purchased by calling the box office at (304) 367-4240. Tickets can also be purchased on the evening of the performance.
While the play is appropriate for all ages, its language accurately depicts Depression era attitudes toward race that are now commonly considered to be offensive.

Hope to see you at the meeting.
Happy New Year!
Presenter: Byron Wingerd, JMP Systems Engineer
Topic: Root Cause Investigations and Graphical Approaches
Topic Summary:
Diagnosing the root cause of shifts, drifts and trends in complex manufacturing processes can lead to large data sets that catalog changes to each step and input. Maintaining a focused approach to an investigation can be difficult while attempting to balance the biases and beliefs of investigation sponsors with those of multidisciplinary root cause analysis "teams." Such distractions can easily overshadow the complexity of the process under investigation. One approach to this challenge is to exclude categories of competing causes as quickly as possible to focus the investigation team's resources in unified directions. A simple graphical tool can be useful when clear process changes are experienced; however, less well defined process changes and large numbers of categorical process inputs with frequent level changes mixed with continuous variables can lead to project delaying fishing expeditions.
Decision trees and regression trees can enable the systematic selection of good candidates from long lists of parameters. These tools can scan large lists to help uncover terms that drive cost, quality or specific metrics. This presentation will demonstrate the use of partition trees in a case study of a retrospective process investigation and the implementation of a graphical test that was useful for screening cause-and-effect relationships for categories of process inputs.

It's amazing sometimes where you find tips for annoying, vexing "features" of browsing the web. One of the most annoying of late has been the trend of advertisements with videos in them to automatically start playing with no input from the user. They just start. You can have multiple tabs open, be watching something you actually want to see and hear, and suddenly another tab is cutting in with audio you don't care about. You have no clue where the advertisement is, but you can't get the bloody thing to stop!
Well leave it to a political blog I read to finally post some quick tips on how to turn this "feature off".
I'm linking directly to the page to give them full credit, but I have checked and these seem to work on the latest editions of Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. They are simply to do and will give you the relief from something even more annoying than pop-up and pop-under ads.
See sometimes the political types can actually REDUCE the noise…nice change of pace for them.
