Harry wondered, as he wandered dolefully down a corridor, whether he was going to pass his Charms exam on the strength of Summoning Charms alone. He hadn't been able to answer one single other question. That wasn't what made his feet as heavy as if they'd been soaked in concrete, however. Nor was the fact that no one at the Gryffindor table had spoken to him when he'd sat between Ron and Hermione, trying to eat. It was that Cedric hadn't come to meet him beneath the Witch's Hump. It was someone else.
"I'm sorry, Harry," she'd said, and given him a slim letter sealed with yellow wax.
"Where's Cedric?" Harry had asked.
"Couldn't come. Send a reply by owl, he said. I'm sure it explains in there."
Harry had nodded, gripping the letter tight enough to warp the crisp edges.
The girl had clapped him on the shoulder. "It'll be all right. Honest it will," she'd said, and left him standing there.
"Honestly, I don't know how you forgot Wingardium Leviosa, everyone knows you can do that one," Hermione said, when he met her as promised in the library.
"I'm not in the mood for this," Harry said, as she pushed a textbook from their second year in front of him.
Her face softened a little. "What did Cedric say then?"
"Nothing. He got someone to give me this." He showed her the letter.
"Oh, Harry," Hermione said softly.
For an uncomfortable moment, Harry thought she was going to hug him. Then she said, "haven't you opened it yet?"
"No." Harry laid it gently on top of his textbook.
"Do you want me to open it?" Hermione asked.
"No!" Harry said, and quickly removed the parchment from sight.
"I was only asking," Hermione said. "You ought to open it, you know. It might just say, 'I've thought of a better place to meet…'"
"I doubt that," Harry said.
Hermione turned away, and began writing an essay for Transfiguration. Harry was two essays behind her, and was sure he'd spend their Transfiguration double tomorrow trying to hide from the wrath of McGonagall. He thought momentarily about doing some work, but instead looked at the letter again.
He tore it open so quickly he ripped through the words.
Harry, it said. Not tonight. I can't. Lunchtime tomorrow, behind the greenhouses?
Cedric hadn't even signed his name Harry noticed, feeling anti-climaxed.
"Well?" Hermione asked, looking up.
Harry showed her. There was no reason not too.
"Well, that's all right then, isn't it?" she said.
Harry shrugged, not knowing how to explain.
Hermione thrust a roll of parchment in front of him. "If you're not going to read your Charms, then you may as well write one of those essays for McGonagall."
"I think I'll go and owl Cedric," Harry said.
"You can do it in the morning," Hermione said, handing him a quill and a pile of her notes.
Harry couldn't work up the energy to argue, and began scratching away gloomily.
"Cedric, I'm not going to talk to him for you again," Flo said. "It's unkind. He looked so despondent yesterday."
"I don't know what I'm going to say to him," Cedric said.
"I'm sure something will come to you," said Flo. "Don't ask me again."
Cedric watched her walk away. With fingers that shook slightly, he took his father's letter from his pocket. He laid it on top of his blotting paper, and read it again. It looked grimy on the fresher sheet of paper, the creases were torn because it had been opened so many times.
"I'm still looking for those three essays, Potter," McGonagall said after class.
"Well, what are you staring at?" she added to Ron, who left.
"I've got one of them here," Harry said, and dug in his bag. The amount of writing on his parchment looked even smaller than the night before.
"I asked for twelve inches, Potter," she said. "This is barely four. And even if I accepted this, you would still be two essays overdue. Three by Wednesday if you don't have the one from today's class done."
"I'm sorry, Professor," Harry said.
"Sit down, Potter," she said, looking at him from over her glasses.
He sat.
"You have performed so well in the tasks that we did not think they were putting too much strain on you. However, we all know they weren't intended for a boy your age. Is it too much work?"
Harry shook his head. "It's all right, Professor."
"Then it's that Hufflepuff lad."
Harry didn't say anything.
"You prowess doesn't always lie within the classroom, we both know that," McGonagall said. "However, as you generally pass muster, it's rather a shock to see you doing so abysmally."
"Sorry," Harry said again, in an undertone.
McGonagall clicked her tongue. "You usually do quite acceptably in Charms. How did you manage to receive five percent in your last exam?"
"Five percent?" Harry repeated, staring at her.
"Professor Flitwick just told me. He has said that since this is so far below your usual standard, he will let you repeat the exam. Next Wednesday, Potter. You'd better start studying."
"Yes, Professor."
"I allow my students no such liberties. You will bring those four essays, properly written, to my office, on Friday morning, or there will be hell to pay."
"Yes, Professor," Harry agreed gloomily.
"I'm sorry your, er, romantic life has become so public lately. If you have any problems you feel you need to discuss, please bring it up with a member of staff. And if you continue to slip so badly academically, then we'll be forced to take more extreme measures."
Harry nodded.
"Go on then, Potter," McGonagall said, and Harry got to his feet.
Late, now, to meet Cedric, he abandoned all thought of food, and put on an impressive turn of speed as he ran to the greenhouses.
Dear Dad, Cedric tried, I'm sorry. He looked at the letter again, and the way his father had signed himself off as Amos.
Dear Sir, he wrote, but that sounded all wrong.
Dad, Cedric wrote. I miss you. I always do, during school. He thought how his father would sneer at that too, and tore the sheet in half.
You're never going to forgive me, are you? He wrote. Even though I don't think I did anything wrong. You were so happy when you though I liked Cho. You'd like Harry too. You could talk about Quidditch.
He ripped this page too, this time by striking out the words so vehemently that his quill went through the parchment.
Harry was walking up and down nervously behind the greenhouses. Cedric watched him, not quite moving, willing his body to walk forward, to go to him. He imagined Harry's body in his arms, Harry's head leaning in the crook of his neck.
He turned and fled back to the castle. He thought he heard Harry calling, but he couldn't bring himself to look around.
"Come on Harry, you know this charm!" Hermione was saying. "We did this in first year."
Harry's head ached. Under Hermione's instruction, he'd managed to scratch out his first essay. It only made him realise how far behind he was, he didn't even know what half the words he'd used meant.
Harry was fairly sure that he knew how to do this charm, too. He'd been unlocking locks so long he barely remember a time when he couldn't do it. But now the lock reminded stoutly fastened, ignoring him as he barked the spell.
All he could think about was Cedric, and the way he'd looked, running.
"I'm going to bed," he said to Hermione.
"It's only eight," she said.
"I can't do this tonight," Harry said.
She nodded.
He hadn't told her about Cedric's disappearance. It still didn't feel quite real.
He sat down heavily in an armchair fairly near the fire.
"Escaped her clutches then?" Ron said. Harry could hear a buzz of whispers get louder as the Gryffindors spotted him and then quieten.
"Couldn't do anything today," he said.
"I wish Flitwick would let me repeat," Ron said. "I only got 45 percent in that exam."
"But at least you don't have to study," Harry said.
"True," Ron grinned and stretched.
"How's Pretty Boy?" he asked quietly.
"Evasive," Harry replied.
"Is that bad?"
"'Course it is," Harry said.
Ron nodded, staring at the fire. "You wouldn't catch me in one of those relationship things," he said.
By Thursday, Cedric had stopped trying to write to his father. Words just wouldn't come any more. Only verbs slid around inside his head and when he tried to put them on paper they just made an unappealing mess of meaningless syllables.
Flo told him off for picking at the scabs on his palms. But he didn't listen to her. He sat in a window seat, looking over the grounds. There were faint daubs of colour where crocuses and narcissi were beginning to bud. He wiped the blood off on his robes and laid his throbbing palms on his knees.
At first, people had stared at him and whispered to each other. Now they pretty much left him alone.
"Shouldn't you do your homework?" Flo asked. She kept appearing. "I mean, it's not like I do it myself, but you always have, so you think you'd keep it up."
Cedric didn't say anything. He could see, if he tilted his head sideways so trees didn't obscure the view, the edge of the Great Lake. There was never anyone there.
"Be like that then," Flo said, and stalked off.
Dear Dad, Cedric thought, look what you've done to me. There really isn't anything to be proud of, now.
Professor McGonagall gave Harry a rare smile when he arrived at her office, armed with four essays.
"It's just Charms left," Hermione said, squeezing his arm. Harry, who'd understood everything that went on in his Transfiguration class for the first time in weeks, grinned at her.
"I don't know why you're making me help," Ron complained again. "I practically failed that test too."
"It'll help you learn," Hermione reminded him.
Ron groaned.
Harry saw Cedric in the Great Hall for the first time since Monday. He looked grey, completely washed-out. Harry watched him, distractedly, as he tried to eat. He no longer noticed what Ron and Hermione were saying.
He ran after Cedric as he left the hall.
"Are you alright?" he asked at the door.
Cedric walked away from him, and Harry, heart pounding, followed. Cedric stopped beneath one of the staircases, which cast a grey shadow over both of them.
"I'm alright," he said slowly.
"Are you?"
"Yes, I'm fine," Cedric said.
Harry impulsively grabbed his hands, and saw the sores on the underside of them.
"Oh Cedric," Harry said.
Cedric jerked his hands free, and walked quickly away. Harry slid to the floor, watching the retreating robe, his eyes smarting.
What did I do? He kept thinking. What did I do? Although he didn't think he'd done anything.
Dear Harry, Cedric composed in his head that night. I'm so sorry.
He wanted to write letters of apology to both of them, to his father and to Harry. He wanted to tell them both he loved them and he was sorry and that he didn't know what else to say.
He lay in bed, his hangings open enough to allow the moonlight to fall on his face, wondering hopelessly.
He wanted to explain to his father, but there was only one reply his father could ever give, for the first time, I'm really ashamed of you.
That was the brick wall he banged his head against every night. He wondered once, when the moon had gone down, if Cho would take him back. If he could convince his father that he hadn't really liked Harry. But he didn't want to do that.
He tried to imagine holding someone who wasn't Harry and it made him ache.
I miss you.
"I can't do it, I just can't," Harry said, as he failed for the third time to send a pillow floating anywhere.
"Summoning charms are much more difficult and you have no trouble with them," Hermione said.
Harry shouted at the pillow. Nothing happened.
"Well, it's obviously not working, is it?"
Sunday had turned out to be the first day of the year warm enough to sit outside with any kind of comfort. There had been frost that morning, but it hadn't lingered all day as the previous frosts had been wont to do, and in their sheltered spot close to a tree with a thick canopy, there hadn't been any all year, and the ground was soft, the earth loose.
"Why don't you make the crocus open?" Hermione said, pointing at a large purple bud.
"What's the spell for that?" Harry asked.
"Oh, Harry," Hermione said in a bossy voice, and told him.
He tried it six times, his voice getting louder and angrier at every attempt. By the last, faint billows of steam were issuing from between the petals.
"At least I'm doing something," Harry said, but Hermione, for the sake of the plant, begged him to desist.
They tried four other spells with similar results.
"I feel like I'm turning into Neville," Harry said. "And all I can think about is Cedric."
"Well Neville certainly passed that Charms test, so turning into him mightn't be such a bad thing," Hermione said. "He doesn't sit around moping over Cedric either."
"Well, maybe you should spend some time with him if he's so much better company."
"Honestly, Harry, do you have to take everything so personally?" Hermione snapped.
"I do if it is personal!" Harry said.
They both stared at each other, eyes narrowed. Hermione's will broke first, and she stood up and stamped away.
"Keep practising!" she shouted behind her.
Harry leant back against the tree, drawing his legs up to his chest.
He shouted the growth spell at the crocus, over and over, until the petals just melted away. He got up and stamped on the wrinkled plant.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard!" he shouted at it, and felt tears of rage springing to his eyes.
After almost twenty minuets, the sight of Harry, face contorted, became too much for Cedric. He stood up, his legs cramping a little from sitting still for so long, and folded his father's letter so violently the creases broke and it came away in three pieces. He let them flutter to the floor.
He took one more look at Harry, and ran to the stairs, enjoying the clatter his feet made on the wooden steps.
He found Harry sitting under the same tree, his face twisted from trying to hold back sobs.
"Harry," he said, and knelt beside him.
Harry blinked at him. "Hullo," he said in a choked voice.
"You alright?" Cedric asked, softly.
"No," Harry said. "You?"
Cedric brushed Harry's hair back from his sweaty forehead.
"Anything particular the matter?" he asked.
"I can't do Charms and I have an exam on Wednesday," Harry said.
"I can help you," Cedric said.
He sat down, leaning against the same part of the tree as Harry was.
"What's wrong with you?" Harry asked.
Cedric shrugged.
"Your hands are a state. And you ought to eat," Harry said.
"Yes. Probably," Cedric agreed.
"Help me open this crocus," Harry said. "And then we'll get lunch."
Author's note: So many apologies for the delay. This is unbeta'd. Apologies for that, too. Thanks so much for all the wonderful feedbacks.

The most common causes of house insurance claims are water damage whose percentage is constantly increasing in Ireland and other countries. However, it is seen that many water damage claims are rejected. This happens mostly because of the homeowner's errors while filing the claim to the Insurance Company. It is important to learn the specific steps about how to file an Insurance Claim for Water Damage.
Whenever there is property damage, restoring it to the normal condition, requires a lot of time, effort and money. In case your home is covered with a trusted house insurance company you can at least alleviate the burden on your budget to some extent. An insurance company reimburses most of the repairing cost and helps you to restore the property quickly. Thus, purchasing insurance to cover your property is the best way to reduce the financial strain in case of property damage.
Let us learn in details about what homeowners should do to file an Insurance claim for a smooth claim process. Let's begin with the Do's and Don'ts.
- Prevent any additional damage by securing your valuables. Board up any broken doors, tarp holes, turn off the water supply. You must also take the valuables to a safe and dry place.
- Make sure to record all the evidence and proof of water damage like any broken parts that might be the cause of the water damage. You should never through away or alter the scene until the inspection takes place.
- Read all the terms and conditions of the Insurance Policy to know which Water damage is not covered under the policy.
- Prepare a detailed list of all the damaged items mentioning their model numbers, condition, actual cost and replacement cost.
- Never through away any damaged item unless the inspection is done.
- Do not repair any item unless the inspection is done by the insurance company.
- Don't use the insurance company listed vendors as there is no obligation. Use experienced and reliable vendors whom you know for the repair works.
- If you follow the above Do's and Don'ts it helps you for a smooth claim process and settles your claim quickly with the Insurance Company.
- Having said so, let us learn how to file an Insurance Claim for water damage.
Steps to file an Insurance Claim for water damage
The Claim Process
- Approach your agent or the insurance company and file your water damage claim.
- Within 2 days of filing the claim the Insurer contacts you to explain the entire process and your responsibilities.
- The investigation starts within 15 days as soon as the insurer receives written notice from you.
- The decision of acceptance or rejection comes within 15 working days. In case the claim is positive money gets credited to your account within 5 working days.
- You will receive a written explanation if the claim is rejected.
Inspection by Adjusters
This is the second most important step after you file an Insurance Claim for water damage. All claim inspections are carried out by professional adjuster who inspects the damage and reports to the Insurance Company. They also negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf ensuring a smooth and beneficial claim process.
Adjusters are of three types:
- An individual salaried employee working for the Insurance Company.
- Any claim service provider to the Insurance Company, like an independent contractor.
- Public Adjuster who charges a percentage of the claim as a fee.
Tip: Hire a Public Adjuster to have the maximum chance for insurance claim success. However, ensure the person you are working with is a licensed adjuster.
Claim Settlement
If everything goes well and the insurance policy you have covered the sustained damage, the claim is settled within 5 working days. However, the reimbursed amount for the replacement cost policy and actual cash value coverage policies are different.
- Replacement cost Coverage – The reimbursed amount is paid to repair your home on the basis of the current cost of construction.
- Actual cash value Coverage – The reimbursed amount is paid for rebuilding or replacing your property.
Problem with Molds
Mold remediation, in general, is not covered by Insurance companies when you file an Insurance claim for water damage. However, some insurance company only covers the repair costs. Remember, molds spread fast damaging large area in days. The best way to tackle this problem is to remove the excess water and dry the household materials quickly.
Temporary Housing
Some insurance policies cover additional living expenses when your home is badly damaged and you have to live outside until the restoration work is over. Check whether your policy has this coverage or not and also find out the details of the expenses to be reimbursed.
Final Verdict
Water Damage restoration is difficult and time-consuming. Be mindful and take extra precautions to prevent your home any water damage in the future. Always read all the terms and conditions mentioned in the insurance policy you have before you submit a claim for water damage. If you still have water damage, follow the above steps to settle your claim smoothly.

Maroon 5's atrocious song "One More Night" remains atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the fourth week in a row. However, there is a song that has been sitting at number two for a few weeks that I thought I could discuss. It is a song that, as far as I can tell, has captured the zeitgeist. It's a song I thought would eventually hit number one, and maybe it will. I read something about it being the most liked song on YouTube, or some such nonsense. The song in question is "Gangnam Style" by some gentleman named Psy.
I know very little about this gentleman or this song, as I have not listened to it as I write this sentence. Also, this sentence. I've heard about it in other avenues of pop culture certainly. Craig Ferguson did some sort of dance he called "Gangnam Style" which I assume comes from the musical video. All I know is his dance involved a horse and a robot skeleton and, on occasion, his new character "Beth the CBS Executive" who I am kind of unenthused about. However, this isn't about Craig Ferguson or his show. It's about this guy Psy and his super popular song.
I am pretty sure this song is some sort of KPop outing, which is short for Korean Pop. There's also JPop from Japan and, if I may use a joke I have before, I am waiting with anticipation for LPop, the pop music of Laos. You can go all the way to W on this if you want to include the Middle East and former countries of the Soviet Bloc. I've never heard a KPop song. I expect it to be poppy and in Korean. This is in Korean, right? Somehow that hasn't kept it from being popular in the US of A. Also, this video has been watched over 480 million times on YouTube. To which I say: Holy fuck!
I have now listened to the song. I am one of you now, people. This song has crossed the cultural and verbal barrier to become super popular? It sounds like pretty much any dance/techno song I've ever heard only with Korean lyrics thrown on it. Why has this song really struck a cord with people? Psy's voice isn't good. The music is somewhat irritating to be honest. Have you ever heard a Dance Dance Revolution machine off in the distance? You can sort of here some generic beat, but it is mostly indecipherable. That's what listening to this song feels like to me.
It's not a banger. It's not fun. "Opa Gangnam Style" doesn't really connect with me as a good hook, to the extent it is a hook. Does this song feel as generic in Korea? Does all KPop sound like this? I am really puzzled by this song's popularity, given all it had to overcome to be so popular in America.
Maybe if I could understand the lyrics I might enjoy it somewhat, although it still wouldn't sound good. However, I can't. Not to diminish the Korean language, but to me it is just noises, since I don't understand the words. I could have done without jumping on the "Gangnam Style" bandwagon. I didn't enjoy this song at all. In fact, it was mildly unpleasant. It drones and it is dull and has nothing in it that inspires any joy in me. A Korean artist has struck it big in America, and I cannot fathom how this song made it happen.

No Need to Involve PNP in Drug War For Now – Gatchalian
Senator Win Gatchalian sees no immediate need to involve the Philippine National Police once more in the Duterte administration's campaign against illegal drugs, citing the record-breaking performance of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) during its first month at the helm of the drug war.
The senator's comments came after President Rodrigo Duterte had brought up the possibility of re-authorizing the PNP to conduct anti-illegal drug operations.
"PDEA's performance as the sole agency in-charge of the government's campaign against illegal drugs has been nothing short of spectacular. We should give PDEA more time to fulfill this mandate on its own," said Gatchalian on Monday.
PDEA reported a record high of 1,341 anti-illegal drug operations for the period October 10 to November 10, resulting in the arrest of 404 drug personalities and the seizure of almost P54 million worth of banned substances. Meanwhile, there were only two reported casualties during these operations: one PDEA agent and one drug suspect.
"PDEA operatives have been arresting drug personalities and seizing drugs at record pace with almost zero loss of life as a result. In essence, PDEA has instituted the reforms needed to restore public confidence in the integrity of the government's war on drugs. They deserve the continuing confidence of the President as the undisputed leader of the national crusade against drugs," Gatchalian said.
To further enhance the government's anti-drug efforts the senator said the government should work to double the manpower complement of PDEA, which has less than 2,000 drug enforcement officers (DEOs). He also said the anti-drug agency should continue to train its sights primarily on high-level drug personalities.
"Targeting high-level drug dealers will result in high-impact operations which will cut the supply of illegal drugs straight at the source," Gatchalian said.
Meanwhile, the senator said the national police force could still make significant contributions to the improvement of the country's peace and order situation: "Illegal drugs is only one of many public order problems which require the attention of law enforcement authorities. The PNP should take this opportunity to make our streets safer by flexing its muscles against other forms of crime."

Amyloidosis is a group of rare diseases that develop when a protein called amyloid abnormally deposit in your organs and/or tissues. All proteins begin as a string of amino acids in which they fold themselves into a 3D shape. This process is responsible for allowing the proteins to perform useful functions within our cells. Amyloid is a description of the proteins that have folded abnormally and collected together after doing so.
When the proteins don't fold themselves correctly, they have trouble breaking down as the other proteins do. Therefore these proteins can build up in tissues and organs. The consequences of these build-ups in organs and tissues are severe, and it may lead them to stop working, that is when amyloidosis occurs. These deposits can happen in one part of the body (localized amyloidosis), but more commonly several different parts of the body are affected (systemic amyloidosis), like the heart, liver, digestive tract, kidneys or nerves.
Most people diagnosed with the most common type of amyloidosis are between the ages of 60 and 70 and 70% of these diagnosed patients are men. Amyloidosis can be a secondary disease and the risk of acquiring the AA amyloidosis increases if you have a chronic infectious or inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis, and osteomyelitis. The cause of amyloidosis can also be hereditary, although this is a rarer form to acquire this disease.
The symptoms of Amyloidosis changes depending on the location and size of the amyloid deposit and some of the signs and symptoms of amyloidosis are:
- Kidneys disorders, including kidney failure
- Enlarged liver
- An irregular heartbeat
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Diarrhea, often with blood
- Constipation
- Gastrointestinal disorders (GI)
- Lung problems
- Bleeding problems
- Nervous system disorders
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Enlarged spleen
- Enlarged liver
- Enlarged tongue
- Breathing difficulties
- Sleep apnea
- Skin conditions such as color changes, easy bruising, etc.
- Swelling of the shoulder and joints
- Diminished function of the spleen
There is no cure for this disease, but there are treatments that help you manage the symptoms of amyloidosis and limit the production of the amyloid protein. The disease is often discovered after some organ has suffered significant damage. Therefore the initial treatment for this disease involves correcting organ failure and/or some underlying illness such as infection or inflammation.
There have been some researchers about the benefits of marijuana for treating and preventing amyloidosis, and it was found that the substance in the cannabis plant THC helps to prevent the formation of amyloid plaques and suppresses cell-mediated immune responses. THC is also a neuroprotector and an analgesic. Cannabis inhibits B-amyloid peptide aggregation, and cannabinoids have immunomodulatory properties that are helpful in neuroinflammatory diseases. CBD, another substance found in cannabis, reduces inflammation, anxiety, and nausea.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) discovered in the last decade is a promising field of research since it participates the brain immune control and neuroprotection, playing an essential role in the cellular communication network and in between the nervous system and immune system. Many cell types involved in AD neuropathology have components in this system. Not stopping there, there are many different types of research relating to the benefits of ECS and cannabis for helping to treat amyloidosis.

A Reason To Smile…
The following article (thank you, Daily Om) reminded me again that even when life is super challenging, it's not only okay to laugh or smile it's actually a very healthy thing to do. Coming from a family of illness, and very serious times, I would almost feel guilty if I had a moment of giggling or joy. But, it's in my nature.
Merriment doesn't remove daily challenges, but it can re-charge you to handle them better. During last weekend I became aware of a lightness in my body, as it was a very laughter filled time. The things we laughed at were simple, but struck us into hysterics.
Someone told me that after witnessing the Bouffon Flash Mob in the rain, their group returned to the office in great humour, and no umbrellas. Going there they were all grumpy and complaining. A little dancing in the rain changed things!
What do you think about this subject?
By The Daily Om
It can be so easy to get caught up in the rigors of modern life that we tend to forget that happiness need not come with stipulations. Happiness becomes something we must schedule and strive for — a hard-won emotion — and then only when we have no worries to occupy our thoughts. In reality, overwhelming joy is not the exclusive province of those with unlimited time and no troubles to speak of. Many of the happiest people on earth are also those coping with the most serious challenges. They have learned to make time for those simple yet superb pleasures that can be enjoyed quickly and easily. Cultivating a happy heart takes no more than five minutes. The resultant delight will be neither complex nor complicated, but it will be profound and will serve as a reminder that there is always a reason to smile.
So much that is ecstasy-inducing can be accomplished in five minutes. Alone, we can enjoy an aromatic cup of our favorite tea, take a stroll through the garden we have created, write about the day's events in a journal, doodle while daydreaming, or breathe deeply while we listen to the silence around us. In the company of a good friend or treasured relative, we can share a few silly jokes, enjoy a waltz around the room, play a fast-paced hand of cards, or reconnect through lighthearted conversation. The key is to first identify what makes us dizzyingly happy. If we do only what we believe should bring us contentment, our five minutes will not be particularly satisfying. When we allow ourselves the freedom to do whatever brings us pleasure, five minutes out of 14 wakeful hours can brighten our lives immeasurably.
It is often when we have the least free time or energy to devote to joy that we need to unwind and enjoy ourselves the most. Making happiness a priority will help you find five minutes every day to indulge in the things that inspire elation within you. Eventually, your happiness breaks will become an established part of your routine. If you start by pursuing activities you already enjoy and then gradually think up new and different ways to fill your daily five minutes of happiness, you will never be without something to smile about.

The Return of Griffin
Blake Griffin (knee) didn't skip a beat in his return from a month-long layoff on Friday, helping the Clippers to a 121-106 blowout win over the Lakers with 24 points (6-of-15 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal, one 3-pointer and four turnovers in 32 minutes. So much for easing him back into things. Griffin was his usual bouncy-self, and the knee wasn't an issue at all, so he should be fine for Sunday's game against the Hornets and it looks like he won't be dealing with any sort of minutes limits. The Clippers also don't have a back-to-back set until January 10, so that might not be an issue for him, particularly with Los Angeles fighting for a playoff spot. The Clippers surprisingly managed to keep themselves postseason-relevant despite suffering a string of brutal injuries, and after Friday's win, they sit just three games out of the No. 8 spot. As long as the Clippers are fighting to make the playoffs, owners won't need to concern themselves with shutdown talk; although given Griffin's injury history he's someone I would certainly consider selling high on after a nice few games.
That's More Like It
Dennis Smith Jr. registered his first career triple-double during Friday's 128-120 win over the Pelicans, tallying 21 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, five 3-pointers, one steal and seven turnovers in 31 minutes. He seemingly couldn't miss in this one, going 8-of-12 from the field and 5-of-7 from beyond the arc for an elite 87.5 EFG%, so hopefully, this is a sign that he's ready to start rolling. Jr. hadn't seen his minutes crack 30 since he got back from the hip injury as Dallas eased him back into things, but it looks as though the easing is over.

What About The Tank?
Lauri Markkanen needed just 28 minutes to net a career-high 32 points during Friday's 119-107 win over the Pacers, adding five 3-pointers, seven rebounds, one assist and one turnover. Markkanen got his points with remarkable efficiency, going 11-of-17 from the field and 5-of-5 from the charity stripe for a ridiculous 83.3 true shooting percentage to accompany his 32.6 usage rate, and he's now put together two solid games in a row following Tuesday's three-point disaster. Nikola Mirotic was also solid in his 28 minutes off the bench, finishing with 28 points on 10-of-20 shooting to go with eight 3-pointers, four boards, four assists, one steal and three turnovers. While the Chicago players were probably happy that they were able to tally off their third straight win despite missing Kris Dunn (knee), Chicago management probably hasn't been much a fan of Mirotic upsetting the tank. Mirotic can't be moved until January 15, but his value is probably at an all-time high right now, so I'd be pretty surprised if he finished the year in Chicago. Once he's moved, Markkanen would return to averaging 30+ minutes a night and Bobby Portis would see his playing time in the 20s more often.
On the Radar
Kelly Oubre scored 21 points on 9-of-18 shooting to go with four rebounds, three 3-pointers, one assist, three steals and one turnover in 26 minutes off the bench on Friday. He's flirting with top-100 value on the year behind averages of 11.8 points, 5.1 boards, 1.5 triples, 0.9 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.1 turnovers per game on 42.4% shooting from the field and 81.9% from the stripe, so he's worth owning in most leagues.
Lance Stephenson played well in another start sans Victor Oladipo (knee), netting 18 points on 8-of-19 shooting to go with nine rebounds, three assists, two treys and two turnovers in 35 minutes. He's seen his usage rate spike to 24.3 over the past two games with Oladipo unavailable, and has responded with averages of 17.0 points, 12.0 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.0 trey-bombs, 1.0 steal and 3.5 turnovers per contest on 48.4% shooting, so he'll be someone to think about streaming on Sunday if Dipo is again forced to spend another game on the sidelines.
Marco Belinelli scored 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting (2-of-2 from the line) to go with two 3-pointers, three assists, one steal and one turnover in 27 minutes off the bench. He's been a steady late-round guy this year with averages of 12.0 points, 1.9 triples, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.1 turnovers per game on 42.1% shooting from the field and 95.8% from the charity stripe, so give him a look if those numbers are appealing.
Joe Harris came through with a career-high 21 points on 7-of-9 shooting (3-of-4 from the line) to go with seven rebounds, four triples and three turnovers in 29 minutes off the bench. He's been really hit-or-miss this season, he'll be battling Nik Stauskas for minutes, so while this was a nice line I'll need to see him do it again before recommending him as a deep league add. He's on the radar, though.
Caris LeVert posted a 12-point, 11-dime double-double on Friday, adding five rebounds, one steal and two turnovers in 23 minutes off the bench. He's been a top-80 option over the past month with averages of 14.2 points, 5.3 assists, 1.6 triples, 1.2 steals and 2.7 turnovers a night on 49.6% shooting from the field and 80.4% from the line, and he should be able to sustain these numbers as long as D'Angelo Russell (knee) is out.
Jarrett Allen played well in 20 minutes off the bench, finishing Friday's win with 12 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine boards, one block and one turnover. It'll be interesting to see what his minutes look like once Jahlil Okafor gets incorporated into the rotation, but his upside in the shot blocking department makes him an intriguing deep league stash. If he could consistently see his minutes in the 25-range, he could be a top-75 player. Think John Henson, but better.
Speaking of John Henson, he finished Friday's win over OKC with a season-high 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting (2-of-5 from the stripe) to go with six boards, two assists and four blocks in 29 minutes. If you're punting free throws, Henson has been a top-80 option this year with averages of 8.5 points, 6.5 boards and 1.5 blocks per contest on 61.1% shooting, so he should be owned in way more than just 36% of Yahoo! Leagues.
Marquese Chriss played well in Friday's 111-101 win over the Kings on Friday, finishing with 14 points (5-of-6 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, three 3-pointers, one steal, one block and one turnover through 28 minutes as a starter. He's been on a bit of a mini-hot streak over the past three, posting averages of 10.7 points, 7.7 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steal, 1.3 triples and 1.7 swats per contest on 64.7% shooting from the field and 42.9% from the stripe, which has been good enough for fourth-round value in 9-cat leagues when employing a free throw punting strategy. Obviously, this is a very small sample size, and Chriss has been so awful this season that I'll need to see him do this at least a few more times before recommending him as an add in standard leagues; but he's could be worth a speculative add in deeper formats if you've got someone to cut.
Isaiah Canaan handed out six dimes in 19 minutes off the bench adding nine points, one 3-pointer, one steal and zero turnovers. He's been a top-60 guy in 9-cat leagues over the past two weeks with averages of 11.4 points, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.3 triples and 1.7 turnovers per game on 41.2% shooting from the field and 96.7% from the stripe. He's worth owning in most leagues while he's this hot.
J.J. Barea had another productive game in 24 minutes off the bench on Friday, tallying 14 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), nine assists, three triples, two rebounds, one steal, one block and four turnovers. He's been a ninth-round guy over the past month with averages of 12.1 points, 7.1 assists, 1.7 trey-bombs and 2.2 turnovers per game on 47.6% shooting, so he's worth owning in most leagues at the moment.
Frank Kaminsky came off the bench for 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting (3-of-5 from the stripe) to go with six rebounds, three assists, one 3-pointer, two steals and one block in 25 minutes. He's been trending up over the past few weeks with averages of 12.1 points, 4.3 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.3 triples, 0.7 steals, 0.6 blocks and just 0.3 turnovers per contest on 48.5% shooting from the field, and he should continue to see extended minutes with Cody Zeller (knee) out until at least late-January. Give him a look if you need a 3-point shooting big.
Jordan Bell was replaced by Zaza Pachulia in the starting lineup on Friday but still came through with a solid stat line, producing eight points (3-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five boards, two assists, two steals, one block and one turnover in 20 minutes. Pachulia started in a matchup-based move to counter Dwight Howard, and I could see Bell and Pachulia moving in and out of the starting lineup moving forward based on the matchup. I do acknowledge that Bell is the better player here, and on paper, he should be starting, but Pachulia was the starting center on last year's championship squad and I don't think Steve Kerr wants to risk upsetting the chemistry by permanently giving away Zaza's starting spot to a 22-year-old rookie. The main takeaway here is that Bell is still capable of carving out value as long as he's on the floor for roughly 20 minutes a night, and he's clearly played well enough to warrant that sort of role. He's worth owning in most leagues.
Larry Nance scored 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting (4-of-5 from the line) to go with four rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and two turnovers in 18 minutes off the bench. He's been playing much better over the past two games after a dreadful three-game stretch, registering averages of 12.3 points, 6.0 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and just 0.7 turnovers per game on 78.9% shooting, and while that sky-high FG% isn't sustainable, he tends to find a way to bring meaningful statistics to the box score. It's rather strange that he's actually seen his minutes decrease with Brook Lopez (ankle) on the sidelines, but he should see close to 20 minutes a night which is enough time for him to churn out standard league value.
Milos Teodosic went 3-of-8 from the field and 3-of-4 from the stripe on his way to 11 points, five rebounds, seven assists, two 3-pointers, one steal and three turnovers in 33 minutes. He's been trending up over the past week with averages of 9.3 points, 7.0 assists and 1.7 triples per contest, and he just got another lob target back in Blake Griffin, so the dimes could start trending up as he gets more familiar with his teammates in Los Angeles.
Frank Mason scored seven points on 3-of-8 shooting in his second consecutive start on Friday, adding four rebounds, five assists, one 3-pointer, two steals and one turnover in 34 minutes. He should continue to see extended minutes with De'Aaron Fox (quad) out at least another few weeks, so he's on the radar as a potential deep league target.
Injury Tracker
Austin Rivers exited Friday's game with a right Achilles strain, and he's scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday. He wasn't able to put much pressure at all on his right leg as he was helped back to the locker room, and was spotted leaving the arena on crutches, so it's pretty safe to say that he won't be playing on Sunday and he could miss a decent chunk of time here. Rivers has been having a career-year, so I'd hold off on outright cutting him until we have an official timetable, but while he's out, Lou Williams and Milos Teodosic figure to be forced into heavy minutes with guys like Wes Johnson and Jawun Evans also having the opportunity for some extended minutes.
Paul George (knee) did not play Friday and he's questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks. Alex Abrines got the start in his absence but was benched at halftime in favor of Josh Huestis, but neither of these guys will do much with Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony splitting most of PG-13's touches.
Rudy Gay will miss the next two weeks of action to rehab his right heel, which should translate to more minutes for Kyle Anderson. Gay has been nothing more than a late-round guy this season, and he basically hasn't been worth owning since Kawhi Leonard (quad) got back, so I'd recommend just cutting him and moving on in most leagues. Anderson has been a sneaky low-end guy in fantasy hoops this season with averages of 8.6 points, 5.8 boards, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game on 52.3% shooting from the field and 77.9% from the stripe, so switching Gay out for Anderson would make sense to me.
Chris Paul (groin) returned from a three-game stint on the sidelines, hitting 3-of-11 shots on his way to eight points, six assists, two triples, two steals and one turnover in 26 minutes. Owners can expect a more robust stat line on Sunday with a matchup against the Lakers.
Clint Capela (face, heel) did not play on Friday, as expected, but he'll be back out there for Sunday's game, which will shift P.J. Tucker back to the second unit. Nene was rested on Friday, but he'll be back out there on Sunday, which could bump Tarik Black from the rotation entirely.
Victor Oladipo (knee) missed his second game in a row on Friday and is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves. Lance Stephenson will continue to start in his absence, with Darren Collison being asked to do more on offense.
Damian Lillard (hamstring) is questionable to play Saturday against the Hawks, and he'll likely be a game-time call. If he is able to get back out there, Shabazz Napier will head back to the second unit and Jusuf Nurkic's usage will take a hit.
JaMychal Green (knee) practiced on Friday and is questionable to play Saturday against the Warriors. Brandan Wright (quad) also practice on Friday and he's probable for Saturday's game. Chandler Parsons will be rested on Saturday, but he'll be back out there for Sunday's game in Sacramento.
Mike Conley (Achilles) went through a hard workout on Friday, a sign that he's inching his way closer to a return. He'll likely have a lot of restrictions for his first few weeks of being back, but his return to the court will push Andrew Harrison back to the bench and should open some things up offensively for Marc Gasol with his gravity.
Dion Waiters (ankle), Justise Winslow (knee) and James Johnson (ankle) did not play Friday and they are unlikely for Saturday's game against the Magic. Josh Richardson will continue to log heavy minutes with all these guys out, while Wayne Ellington will see some increased playing time with the second unit.
Isaiah Thomas (hip) will not play Saturday, but he will get in another full practice on Monday, so there's a chance that he'll be able to make his Cleveland debut at home against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. He'll likely have a lot of restrictions for probably about a month, but he'll have an excellent chance to produce first-round value once the restrictions are lifted.
Serge Ibaka (team suspension) did not play Friday, but he'll be back out there for Monday's game against Milwaukee.
Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will not play Saturday against the Heat. I wouldn't advise anyone to stash him.
Aaron Gordon said his calf was a bit sore after Thursday's game and took it easy at Friday's practice, but head coach Frank Vogel expects him to be available for Saturday's game.
Stephen Curry (ankle) is expected to get back to the court for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies. He's looked really good at practices for a while now, but he'll likely be dealing with a minutes limit over the next few games. With Curry back in action, Shaun Livingston will return to the bench and Patrick McCaw won't play as much.
Omri Casspi (ankle) did not play Friday and he should be considered questionable for Saturday's matchup with Memphis.
Wes Johnson (foot) was scoreless in his return from a five-game absence, finishing with just one rebound, one assist and one steal over 10 minutes.
Joel Embiid will be rested Saturday against the Nuggets, which will translate to more minutes for Richaun Holmes and more usage for the rest of the starters.
Robert Covington (finger) is questionable to face the Nuggets on Saturday. If he's out, Timothe Luwawu could get the start and more minutes would fall to T.J. McConnell.
Kris Dunn (left patella tendinitis) was a late-scratch on Friday and he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Mike Scott (personal) did not play Friday and he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Tyler Ennis (flu-like symptoms) did not play Friday and should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Malik Beasley (elbow) and Juan Hernangomez (illness) are questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers; they're also irrelevant.
Raul Neto (knee, concussion) will not play Saturday against the Cavs; who cares?

Leo Kottke - 1993-04-02 - Bottom Line - New York, NY
The Bottom Line, New York, NY
Digital Soundboard recording (Jerry Moore's dat clone), excellent quality
Available in both lossless (FLAC) and mp3 (@320 kbps) versions
More Leo! A bit later. This was several years after his return following his near career-ending bout with tendonitis and nerve damage in his hand. As part of his therapy and adjustment for the tendonitis, he changed his picking style to a more classical, less aggressive approach, and changed his hand positioning to reduce stress on his tendons. He also began to delve more into jazz and classical style compositions and playing styles. Thus, beginning with his return to recording in 1986 (A Shout Toward Noon), he moved to the new age-oriented label Private Music, and his albums showed a kinder, gentler, more jazzy styling, but still just as impressive, and probably even more beautiful sounding. Subsequent releases included Regards From Chuck Pink (1988), My Father's Place (1989), That's What (1990), and Great Big Boy (1991). At the time of this show in 1993, he was preparing songs for his next album, which would be Peculiaroso (1994). So, here is Leo in those middle years, with a sweeter sound, but still showing some of the finest acoustic picking and slide work you will ever hear, as well as a plethora of great songs and his quirky personality and stories. Plus, a stellar digital soundboard recording and bonus tracks from the 2nd (late) set to boot.

Artist : Kemala Ayu
Album :Headlong
Released : 2011
Label : Demajors Independent Music Industry
Kemala Ayu is one of Indonesian senior jazz singer who has been famous as a stage singer. She began her career in the age of 15 in Semarang when she had opportunity to perform with notoriously local jazz musicians, singing jazz songs from George Benson, Michael Frank, Roberta Flack, Shirley Bassey, Al Jarreau, and many more. In 1980, she sang a song Harapan Merdeka which became one of the winning songs from Semarang finalist, on Lomba Cipta Lagu Remaja (Youth Song Creation Competition) which was held nationally by Prambors Radio Station.
She moved to Jakarta at the age of seventeen and Captain's Bar hired her to perform with Denny TR from Karimata Band, Idham Nursaid, Ronald Panjaitan and singer Enrico Tobing. From that moment Kemala Ayu continually spread her wings in jazz area with her long list of career history. After that she formed a jazz group Canizaro and released 1 album with Black Fantasy which had "Buat Kamu" as an evergreen. Kemala did not stop there, she had another group called Spirit Band and produced two nice albums. Then she became the vocalist of Hydro Band for 5 years (with Helmie Indra Kusuma, Budjana, Rudy Subekty, Ronald Panjaitan, etc), and vocalist of Trigonia Band (with Idang Rasjidi, Yance Manusama, and Cendy Luntungan) also for 5 years. She was also counted as vocalist of Krakatau Band (before Trie Utami joined the band), and vocalist of Jakarta All Stars. What an impressive curriculum vitae she has.
[flickr id="6688528105″ thumbnail="medium" overlay="false" size="small" group="" align="center"]
After her last album "Emotions" with Ireng Maulana in 2007, voila! Kemala released her new album, titled "Headlong", which surprisingly directs to folk genre instead of jazz. With the help of Christoper Springer in writing up the lyrics and music arranger, Yan Machmud (who played all the instruments in this album by himself). [flickr id="6688528307″ thumbnail="small" overlay="false" size="small" group="" align="right"] "Headlong" has become an album which is enriched by folk ambience.
"Headlong" gives you an impressive prelude through its first song which is "Still Not Sure". A rich mixture sound of guitar from musician Yan Machmud and a very cheerful country music absolutely fulfill this track. Still Not Sure tells us about playing hard to get. Have you ever expected so bad that someone would give you a call? If you have, this song is yours.
The second track is "The Price You Pay". Kemala Ayu said, "This song is about break up experience that has happened to the songwriter. So, I guess it means personal for him." She describes epically within this song that love can last forever even when you are already apart and you have got hurt by the one you love. On the other hand, deep inside your heart, you realize you still love that. Simply composed as accoustic ballad, this song is sounded more like a good advice about the risk of loving someone.
"Headlong" is the next stop and becomes the title of this album. It tells me that falling in love am never been too late; avoid feeling doubt to fall in love. Great to hear a melody full of variety guitar from Yan Machmud and slightly rock ballad, this song represents a girl power in the folk way.

Back to acoustic style, Kemala Ayu sang a song titled "Is It Possible". It is about recovery phase after being hurt by someone you love. This one combines sad lyric with its simple acoustic background which perfectly explains the nuance of dillemma inside this song.
Continued with up beat ballad "Nothing Useful To Say", feel free to be liberated. The lyric says, "Don't let anyone cause you pain and hatred. Leave them all behind, make your dreams come true, and do the things your way." Kemala added, "This song has been chosen for Australia's Absolute Country Compilation and they have featured me to promote the album."
A contradiction from a lovely song, "Lost Love" tells a romance about satyr experience of losing love. With the background of country ballad, let's feel the other mellow side of Kemala Ayu through this one.

The coming song which is titled "Trapped" sounds like the climax of this album. [flickr id="6688528587″ thumbnail="small" overlay="false" size="small" group="" align="left"] Started with accoustic guitar intro in the gypsy style, "Trapped" is sung with spanish latin ambience. The intense of guitar sound really describes the confussion in this song; feeling trapped and unable to break out.
"So Good Together" comes next. With light country music background, "So Good Together" is a chill out song yet entertaining. Try to listen to this song in the morning, then you will feel in a good mood and find positive perspective about being together with the ones you love.
Finally, "Missing You" has to end the journey of this album. I figure that "Missing You" is a dramatic country ballad which in my imagination, I see Kemala Ayu singing the reffrain part, "Missing you…. Missing you…. I'm missing you…", before I see the stand up applause by the audience, filled with satisfaction on their faces. And if you feel kind of missing the album, do repeat it again from the first track.
Generally, "Headlong" has been well prepared. Each song finds its soul by the right support of music background; classic folk, accoustic ballad, pop country, or even spanish latin. It is no wonder that Kemala Ayu must have taken care of "Headlong" patienly for six years. It has resulted as one folk album that cannot be missed.
[flickr id="6688528797″ thumbnail="medium" overlay="false" size="small" group="" align="center"]
Still, there is one itchy question we have been thinking to ask her: why did she NOT arrange "Headlong" into a jazz album instead of folk, while she is already been well known as a jazz singer? This is her answer regarding to that question. "After Christopher Springer handed me the lyrics, I tried to compose the melodies in accoustic guitar format with simple cords. All I needed was to find a perfect guitarist to make these songs more soulful. Then I met Yan Machmud, who knew how to arrange perfect folk music. So, Headlong has never meant to be jazz from the beginning and it would sound weird if I insisted to make it as a jazz album."
She has made her point, and we agree. Do not forget that she will be releasing a new jazz album colaborating with Donny Joesran pretty soon, but "Headlong" is a statement that Kemala Ayu is one of multitalented singer who can sing other genres than jazz, and she wants all jazz lovers to get out of their comfort jazzy zone through her latest album. And to all folk lovers out there, never miss "Headlong" from Kemala Ayu. It is a fresh and easy listening folk album that you are going to love.

To John Adams from C. W. F. Dumas, 17 June 1785
From C. W. F. Dumas
Lahaie 17e. Juin 1785
V. E. Verra par les copies ci-jointes, qu'il ne s'est agi que de rendre à ces Messieurs d'Amsterdam un service, qu'ils me demandoient instam̃ent, & auquel j'ai cru, & devois croire, ne pouvoir honnêtement me soustraire, quand même vous ne m'auriez pas recom̃andé le soin de vos Livres: ce qu'ils ignoroient quand ils m'écrivirent la premiere de ces Lettres.1
Je viens de recevoir l'honorée vôtre du 13e. court., & aurai l'hoñeur d'y répondre l'ordinaire prochain. Le temps ne me permettant plus d'ajouter à celle-ci, que les temoignages du respect avec lequel je suis avec ma famille, De Votre Excellence le très-humble & trèsobéissant serviteur
Cwf Dumas
Ma Lettre alloit partir, quand Mr. Fagel m'a envoyé sa ci-jointe, pour vous l'acheminer.2
The Hague, 17 June 1785
Your excellency will see by the copies enclosed herein that it was only a matter of rendering a service to the gentlemen of Amsterdam, for which they were requesting me insistently and which I did not believe and ought not believe I was capable of honestly avoiding even if you had not entrusted the care of your books to me, of which they were not aware when they wrote me the first of these letters.1
I have just received your honored letter of the 13th of this month and will have the honor to respond upon the next regular post. Time does not permit me to add more to the present letter than the affirmation of the respect with which I am, with my family, your excellency's most humble and most obedient servant
Cwf Dumas
My letter was about to depart when Mr. Fagel sent me the one attached hereto, in order to send it along to you.2
RC and enclosures (Adams Papers); internal address: "A Son Excellence Mr Adams M.P."; endorsed: "M. Dumas / 17. June. 1785."
1. Dumas was upset by JA's decision to relieve him and his wife from any further responsibility for readying JA's household effects for transport to London (to Dumas, 10 June, above). He, therefore, enclosed copies of six letters on the matter that had passed between himself and members of the loan consortium. On 3 June Nicolaas van Staphorst wrote to Dumas, enclosing JA's letter of 29 May (to the consortium, 29 May, and note 2), and indicated that the consortium's members were unable to go to The Hague to supervise the packing of JA's furniture and effects and asked whether Dumas and his wife could act in their stead. On 4 June Dumas replied to the full consortium that he and his wife would be happy to undertake the charge, which would be facilitated by the 1784 household inventories that Marie Dumas had in her possession and which had been signed by Christian Lotter (vol. 13:26–48). Dumas indicated he would procure the needed passports, but he also noted that he would need an authorization to present to Lotter so that he might not present any difficulties. Staphorst replied on 5 June 1785 that the authorization would be forthcoming as soon as Wilhem and Jan Willink returned from the country. The full consortium wrote on the 6th, enclosing an excerpt from JA's letter to it of 29 May and authorizing the consortium to do whatever was necessary to accomplish the task.
The members of the consortium wrote again on the 8th, indicating that Lotter had visited them to complain about the Dumases' intervention in what Lotter assumed to be his responsibility (from Lotter, 7 June, above). The consortium was distressed at the situation that now existed, and, therefore, Jacobus de la Lande visited The Hague on Sunday, 12 June, in an attempt to resolve it. In a note, Dumas indicates that he and his wife went to the legation with De la Lande on Monday, 13 June, where they worked all day and into the evening by which time the most difficult part of the packing had been completed, that of JA's library.
Upon returning home that evening, Dumas found JA's 10 June letter, above, which led him to inform De la Lande that he and Marie should be excused from any further participation in the undertaking. According to Dumas, De la Lande's pleas for their continued assistance were of such urgency that they were unable to refuse. Finally, on 15 June, Dumas wrote to the consortium that the packing so far as it depended upon him and Marie was completed, and that in compliance with De la Lande's instructions he had procured or was procuring the needed passports. See also the consortium's 17 June letter, below.
2. Presumably Hendrik Fagel's 17 June letter, below.

Since my cheerleading posts seem to scare away readers, i've n=made a blog dedicated solely to cheerleading. If anyone's interested in seeing the inner workings of that which is cheerleading, or if you have question, check it out!! here it is.
Tag Archives: cheerleading
New Blog!!
Filed under blog
Good Online Radio and Football Movies
Hey people! this is another one of my two-fer posts. I found this online radio, and i enjoy it alot. it's king of like Pandora, only it doesn't 'foresee' what songs you'll like. you can still ban, love, and skip, only there's a lot of ads and you only get 6 skips per hour per station, unless you upgrade, then there's no ads and there's unlimited skipping. I like it, so if you're looking for a radio that maybe you haven't heard of yet, or if you just are tired of the same online stuff, try it out!! here's the link.
On another note, have you ever noticed just how many football movies there are? there's a lot! And i hate football. Anyone who knows me knows this. So why is it that when i watch it in movies, i don't feel my brain cells escaping? Like, in The Replacements (another Keanu movie, i know. bite me.) even the football parts get me all hyped up. A catch that's probably nothing to real football players seems so much more amazing on screen, you know? One thing does bug me though. how come year after year cheerleading movies get sluttier and sluttier, but football movies never seem to loose the punch they packed in the earlier ones?? it's not fair. Guys are encouraged to accept people, and over come shit and stuff, but girls are encouraged to talk like they're from the ghetto, even if they're blonde haired, blue eyed girls from the south. (like, alabama. not southside. *eye roll*) So much for progress in women's rights. I hate that things are still so stereotyped, even after all this time.
Cheerleading and Jumpsuits
No, not cheerleading in jumpsuits. Though that would be cool…
I was a cheerleader for six years until my aunt made me quit. As i direct result of this, i am slightly obsessed with finding any way to do cheerleading. Even if it means teaching annoying sophomores and freshmen who have perfectly good, normal names, like Ashley, but go by Sparkle. (very hooker-esque, no?) How sad is that? i guess i'm kind of the co-coach, stunting instructor person now. And now i have to wonder… what the hell did i get myself into? I haven't stunted in months, or tumbled. After school i'll have to start retraining my body. yay. this means crunches, sit ups, push ups, splits, hollow body holds, kicks, motion training… oh god oh god oh god why did i offer to do this!?!?!?!? And as if that's not bad enough, there's boys on the team! how in the hell am i supposed to tell a guy how to hold a girl in the air? all they'll do is make stupid innuendos and fool around, which will end up getting someone hurt!And then i have all the terms i learned from TCA that only TCA used, so they won't have any idea what i'm talking about, and then i'll look so stupid… i don't even know what counts they use! 8 counts? 6 counts? 4 counts??? And yet… all i can think about is how i can't wait to do all that. On another note, I so wish i was a senior this year.. they've got these cool jumpsuits that they decorated to wear to all the spirit assemblies, so of course now we'll never have a chance at winning, and they're so cool looking! i'll try to get a picture later.

21 Feb SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION
Wouter Torfs
Only 61 more days and we're there! Because it will then be 20 April and our 'Imagining the organisation of the future' event will take place. We say 'our' because the idea arose on a sunny afternoon at the house of James and Micky Bampfield from Quinx. James and Micky were dreaming of organising a day based on organisations for the future, and I dreamed along with them. We afterwards presented the idea to the CEO Council and the founders of choco: Krist, Steven and Veerle. Everyone liked it. We began to build together, and are now giving substance to the idea. The whole project is growing very organically.
What connects us, apart from the simple fact that we are men and women of flesh and blood who are in the midst of the arena of life, is the faith and the ambition that things can really be different and better in our companies. And that it can be really different and better in other companies as well. We believe that a company that wants to call itself an organisation of the future can and should be much more than a machine that only focuses on economic value-creation for shareholders. Instead, it pursues value in all senses of the word and for every stakeholder.
We have a dream! And we are convinced that silence is not an option. (By the way: 'Silence is not an option' is also the name of the inspiring blog by two young, positive guys.)
That is why we want to reflect on the purpose and the soul of an organisation of the future. About the real why of our companies and organisations. We want to investigate whether the purpose of our employees and customers resonates in any way with the purpose of our companies. And whether there are ways to ensure that all the facets of who you are can also be really employed at work. Perhaps that is the key for happy employees who ensure happy customers who, in turn, provide happy businesses.
By exploring the boundaries between leadership and power, we are also looking for new forms of leadership. Finally, we want to talk about real partnership with all those who surround your business and about 'the energy of money', which is perhaps one of the greatest taboos within companies.
It seems to us that all of these themes are worth investigating, without blinkers and with travel companions who are travelling the same way with us. But there is one thing we know for sure: that is that we don't know 'it', and that none of us knows the absolute truth. That is why we are passionate about exploring the way to the organisation of the future together with you. The journey has no final destination: simply following the road is the goal of the trip.
We believe that companies and entrepreneurs should take a constructive position in society and can be a source of inspiration. In these sometimes harsh times, there is a need for people who build bridges with new ideas. We think that a lot of positive energy is released when positive and resilient people get together. That process can perhaps give impetus to a movement around the organisations of the future. Let's take the first step.
61 days to go – I'm really looking forward to it!
Because silence is not an option!

As any boss lady knows, sometimes the REAL meeting is the night before or the evening after—NOT in the boardroom. Often, your best deals and greatest progress happen in a setting where everyone can feel more relaxed. MAGS, don't let an evening of small talk and wine throw you off your game. It might be a dinner, but you need to be all about your business. Here is how to show up and stand out!
Some of us are fortunate enough that we are on the receiving end of a dinner invitation. Congratulations…I've had some wonderful experiences and unforgettable meals as a client. But don't be fooled, you're still on the clock and how you behave goes a long way towards how you will be viewed in the future.
Your work starts as soon as the invitation arrives. Be sure to RSVP before the deadline to give your host the most notice possible. If the invite comes in a casual form without a deadline, such as an email, respond right away to acknowledge the invitation and let the host know when you'll give them an answer. Don't be shy about making your host aware of any serious allergies or dietary restrictions; having anaphylactic shock in the middle of the main course would not be a good look! Otherwise, let your host handle the rest of the details.
Then MAG up! Honor your commitment. If you say yes, be sure you've cleared your calendar and block the time right away even if an electronic invite will come later. If you can't make the date, suggest other times that might work. If it's a large dinner, the date may be firm, but it may not hurt to offer.
Next, if you'll be dining at a restaurant, do your homework. Luckily, nearly every establishment publishes their menu online. Check it out ahead of time so you can quickly decide what to order. If you're unsure of an ingredient, call ahead. There is nothing worse than appearing indecisive over a meal. What might that say about you in a true high pressure moment?
Be considerate of your host: arrive a few minutes early (especially if you have to hunt for parking), dress appropriately and be patient! Outside the office, no one can totally control the environment. Your graciousness will help put everyone else at ease.
When it comes to beverages, follow the lead of your host. If it's a large party, they may choose to order a bottle of wine. If not, a single glass of wine is totally acceptable, but keep it to one. MAGs this is not the time to throw back a Long Island iced tea. Save the cocktails for when you're hanging with your girls!
If you choose not to drink, there is no need to explain; order a soft drink/club soda/water…whatever works for you. If someone else tries to make you feel uncomfortable about not drinking, just smile and say, no thank you. If they persist, change the subject. (It never ceases to amaze me how some folks still want to pressure others so they don't drink alone.)
Don't dilly dally over the menu. Inquire if there is a special item; otherwise, choose something familiar and easy to eat. And, please, avoid the most expensive choice. Do not go hog-wild on surf and turf, no matter how deep the pockets of your host.
Not the best at small talk? Read a few news websites and find topics you can discuss easily. However, by all means, avoid politics and religion (so hard these days, I know!) Don't know your host well? LinkedIn is your friend. Look for similar or common experiences…have you and your host lived in the same city or country in the past? Similar schools? Volunteer organizations?
Meeting others for the first time? My favorite question is "What keeps you busy these days?" I've received some very surprising answers from "My twins!" to a crisis at work to the challenges of aging parents. Open ended questions, which cannot be answered with a yes or no, are the best for keeping a conversation going. On the receiving end of a query and not sure what to say or need more time to gather your thoughts? Respond with "Say more about that." It keeps the other person talking and helps you understand more about what they want to know.
And if there is a question that may be inappropriate…as happens all too often…keep your cool. Answer with a question: "Why do you ask?" I remember being asked if I was the research assistant on a project for which I was actually the Senior Director. When I said, "Why do you think I'm the research assistant?," the person said because I was leading the discussion on next steps. I calmly explained my title and role and pointed them to the research assistant who was in the room. They got the message.
Lastly, after the dinner, please follow up with a thank you. I still believe in the power of a hand written note, but if you must email, then send it right away…no later than two days after. Even if it was a large group dinner, acknowledge that someone put time and energy into planning the evening. Very, very few people take the time to send a thank you and doing so will absolutely set you apart.

Latest News
We are currently working to install ducts for the IFA2 interconnector cables under Stubbington Lane and Crofton Avenue. We originally expected this work to be complete by 24 February 2019.
Unfortunately, work is taking longer than expected due to the need to dig around additional underground utilities services. We're afraid this means that we need to keep the traffic management in place until Sunday 3 March on Stubbington Lane and until Sunday 10 March on Crofton Avenue. We are very sorry for the continued inconvenience this will cause you.
We have increased the managed traffic periods at peak times to help minimise delays where possible.
Thank you for your continued cooperation. For further information, please contact us on 0800 0194 576 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Japan Trust Fund Project Factsheet
As the first deaths were reported in rural Chinese villages, popular myths about HIV/AIDS transmission flourished. Fear and stigma also thrived in an information-starved environment. Lack of accurate, appropriate and timely information is largely responsible for HIV infections among Chinese youth and women of childbearing age. Young people often leave the countryside in search of work and can't cope with the challenges of an urban context. The HIV infection rate among injecting drug users in China is also increasing and provides an opportunity to address the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of this community.
