Long ago, in the small kingdom of Arval, lived the good King Vester. Because of King Vester's generosity and virtue, the people of Arval were blessed with a bounty of wealth and happiness.
The only problem was that the people of Arval were bored. They were growing tired of the same games, the same theater plays, and all forms of entertainment that King Vester had provided for them. Some were so bored they decided to leave Arval, in search of excitement. Even King Vester himself found the activities in Arval to be boring, so he called together his Great Council of Magi to find a solution to this problem.
The Great Council of Magi spent months presenting new forms of entertainment to the king, in hopes that he would approve. Not a single magi was able to amuse the king with their novelties. Slowly, the people of Arval began leaving, and the king was very worried about the future of his kingdom.
Then one day, a stranger arrived at the gates of Arval, wishing to speak to King Vester. He was allowed into the castle, and presented himself to the king.
"I am Zoft, a magi from the council of King Mankip, and I am here to present you with a gift."
He hands a small grey box to King Vester.
"This mystical box will allow anyone who places it on their head to see another world. The magi from my kingdom have worked for years to create this wonderful box to bring happiness to the people of our kingdom."
King Vester placed the small grey box over his head. To his surprise, inside the box he saw a tiny ballerina, dancing gracefully to the music from an invisible orchestra. He stared in amazement at the impossible vision. When the king turned his head, the music stopped and the ballerina disappeared into the darkness of the box.
King Vester removed the box from his head and addressed his visitor.
"This is outstanding! Why did the ballerina and music vanish when I turned my head?"
Zoft was not surprised by his question.
"Our ruler, King Mankip, assembled the greatest magi in all of the land to create this box. It has taken many years and a large fortune to build. The box has the ability to show you amazing things, but only if you look forward. If you look away, the magic box will stop working."
King Vester was impressed with Zoft and his box. He knew that the people of Arval would find amusement in this new form of entertainment, and would want to stay in his kingdom.
The king summoned his Great Council of Magi to try this new mystical box. Every one of King Vester's magi placed the box on their head, saw the dancing ballerina, and heard the music. When the magi turned their head, the box went dark.
King Vester and his Great Council of Magi were excited to show the box to the people of Arval, but Zoft stopped the king and gave him a warning.
"The box comes at a price. You must pay King Mankip three chests of gold for every person in Arval who tries the box. If you refuse, then I must bring the box back to my kingdom."
Despite King Vester's great wealth, paying three chests of gold to King Mankip to show the box to each person in Arval seemed unfair, but he agreed. A great festival was announced at the castle, and the entire kingdom was invited to try the king's new form of entertainment.
On the first day of the festival, hundreds of of people lined up in front of the king's banquet hall to get their chance to wear the box. One by one, each person would put the small grey box on their head, see the ballerina, and hear the music. Once they turned their head, the box would go dark and silent.
With each new person in Arval to try the box, Magi Zoft collected the gold from King Vester. The people were amused, but the cost was great.
On the second day of the festival, the people of Arval lined up again to try the box, but this time the crowd was much smaller. On the third day, only seven people showed up in line and this worried King Vester. He assembled his Great Council of Magi once again to discover the problem. Magi Tidder addressed the council.
"The people of Arval enjoyed the box, but many are concerned with the amount of gold you are giving to King Mankip for it. They are also displeased with the box going dark when you turn your head."
The king was shocked.
"But I am the one paying for it! Why don't the people understand that I am trying to save Arval? The box is amazing and if they don't turn their heads, it works fine."
The Great Council of Magi did not have any answers. The future of Arval was looking grim. Just then, a short hairy man walked up to the council table and spoke.
"I am Kleep, an inventor who lives down by the swamp. I have tried your new mystical box and I have heard the concerns from the people of Arval . I believe that I may have the answer to your problems."
King Vester was interested in hearing more. Kleep stood in front of the Great Council of Magi and explained his plan.
"I want to build a new box. This box will be bigger and better in every way. You will be able to turn your head and experience everything inside the whole time. It will have much more to see and hear than just a ballerina dancing to music. It will be yours, and you can stop paying King Mankip for his box."
This pleased King Vester, and he wanted Kleep to start right away on building this new box.
Kleep had two requests.
"I only need two things. First, I would like to become a member of your Great Council as a magi. Second, I need 500 chests of gold to build the new box."
King Vester believed that this was his best chance to save the kingdom of Arval.
"I will allow you to become a magi and be on the Great Council, and you will have your gold. When will you have the new box ready?"
Kleep relied.
A week went by, then a month, then a year. Kleep had not shown a new box yet, and King Vester was getting worried. Kleep was summoned to the castle to speak to the king and his Great Council of Magi.
"Kleep, it has been one year since you promised us a new box. We have not seen or heard anything about it since then. Where is the new box?"
Kleep pulled a large scroll from his magi cloak and unrolled it. King Vester and the rest of the council gasped at the magnificent scene that was painted on the scroll. It showed a giant serpent, leaping from the ocean as a crowd of people stood watching in amazement. Kleep explained the painting.
"This is what I am building inside the new box. It will contain wonders that the people of Arval have only dreamt of. I must be allowed to keep working to get everything looking perfect. I also need another 500 chests of gold."
This was enough for King Vester. The scroll painting was put on display in the town hall for every person in Arval to see, and Kleep was given more gold and allowed to continue working on the box without interruption.
Excitement for the new box grew. The people or Arval waited in anticipation, anxious to experience their new form of entertainment.
Another year passed, and still no new box.
Finally, as hope for the new box began to fade, Kleep requested to meet with the king and the Great Council of Magi. The time had come to show off his new creation. News of the meeting spread throughout the kingdom of Arval, and people began gathering in the castle courtyard with hopes of getting to see the new box.
Kleep presented his new box to the king. It was larger than the box that Magi Zoft had presented to King Vester two years ago, but it was shiny, and had rounded edges. It had a long black rope coming from the back that led down to another smaller box on the floor.
King Vester was anxious to try the new box. He placed it on his head and waited for the experience to start. Kleep pulled a level on the smaller box and the show began.
In the new box, King Vester saw a small clown juggling three brown stones. No music, no dancing, just a clown. When the king turned his head, half of the clown disappeared, but not all of him.
The king pulled the box off of his head and looked angrily at Kleep.
"What is this? How is this better than the box that Magi Zoft showed us?
Kleep attempted to explain the new box.
"The clown is juggling stones and doesn't disappear when you turn your head. This new box is better."
The king threw the box at Kleep in disgust.
"This is not what you promised us. Where is the serpent? Where is the entertainment? We gave you all the gold you requested, a seat on the Great Council as a magi, and two years to build a new box. You have failed."
Kleep seemed confused.
"I made you a new box, and it is slightly better than the old box. I haven't made the serpent yet, but that will come with more time and more money. I will keep working on it."
At this point, the king realized that he has been a fool to trust Kleep. Yes, the new box was better in some small ways, but after two years and all that gold, King Vester expected much more. He stands up from his throne, grabs Kleep by his cloak, and drags him out into the courtyard.
"You have spent so much gold and wasted so much time on this new box. The people of Arval are not going to be happy when they see what you have built. In fact, I am not going to punish you for this. Instead, I am going to let you show your new box to the people, and let them decide the fate of Magi Kleep."
The End?

Our Paediatric Dietitian Rebecca Weeks visited primary school children at Sholing Infant School and presented our healthy eating workshop. Teaching pupils how to eat well by identifying healthy meal choices and exploring different food groups, Rebecca introduced the children to the Eatwell plate and explained the importance of a balanced diet.
The session started with a game of 'food lucky dip' with pupils picking fruit, vegetables, bread and sugary snacks out of a mystery box. Pupils were then asked questions about food providence such as:
- What is this food called?
- Have you ever eaten it?
- What does this food feel like?
Pupils were very perceptive when it came to exploring the foods we'd bought to the session. Interestingly lentils and parsnips were the least known food type. The children asked lots of questions and engaged in group discussions. Even the little ones! Why not teach your children about healthy eating with our top tips below.
Tip one make introducing new foods fun and get your child as involved as possible. Whether it be taking them to do the food shop, getting them to point out specific fruit and vegetables, to letting them loose in the kitchen.
In our healthy eating session, we asked children to share with the group which foods they tried at home, and everyone explored their favourite foods and where these foods come from. There were mixed reviews from children, on what their friends were eating at home. Some were surprised to hear that their friends were eating aubergine or carrots and some just said: "yuck, I don't like that!".
Tip two is to be patient; children will come round to new foods eventually….. promise. It's been reported that children will need to try new foods anywhere from 7 to 15 times before acquiring a taste for it.
Taster time! Mango and sugar-snap peas were given out as tasters at the end of our healthy eating session, for the children to try and report back to us. These went down a treat, and we had children coming back for seconds.
Tip three you can easily recreate our Mango and sugar-snap peas at home. Again, make it fun – you could even make your children cover their eyes when trying the foods. Ask them questions such as, what do you think it is? How does it feel? A point for each correct answer.
We know it's hard to believe that your child will ever like new foods, but as they become an accustomed food taster, they will want to try more and more foods.

We met RAGFAIR people at Impact Hub Zürich, and we were super excited about their concept. Sasha told us all about it and we're now sharing it with you!
What It Is
An online renting service where you can find unique female design clothes and accessories carefully selected from all over the world. The collection is composed of pieces from Scandinavian, European, Russian and Israeli designers, among others. "We are constantly searching for talented designers who respect the people and the planet." she says. The idea is to serve all fashion lovers need: unlimited wardrobe in an ethical way! Giving a wide range of options of brands and unique outfits, they offer diversity and ethical consumption.
The Why
The idea came up from the typical "I have nothing to wear" moment, we are all familiar with. Sasha joined Natalia and Elena in the later phase, a couple of months before the service was launched. Her incentive to join the startup came from her Bachelor Thesis about textile recycling in Switzerland. That is how the team was assembled: sharing the same values and driven by a wish to make a change. "
" We would like to reinvent what we consume and how!"
How it works
For 129 CHF monthly our customers can rent up to 3 products at once and exchange them as many times as they wish within the same month free of charge. One shipping per month both ways, cleaning and small repairing are included. And of course, if the service is not needed anymore, it can be easily cancelled at any time.

This is the covered bridge that was painted by my mom in the story below.
Today is a special celebration day at our house. We call it Coke and Candy Bar Day. It's almost too personal of a celebration to share, but I know when I've shared it in the past it has helped others. So, I thought I would go ahead and share it with you today.
August 9th, was the day my mom stopped fighting breast cancer and went to live with Jesus. I was very close to my mom and part of me left that day, nevermore to return.
When the first anniversary of that day arrived, I was so sad. I missed her terribly and was overwhelmed with grief. How was I going to get through this? Then a thought came to my mind: Celebrate!!! My mom loved life and she would have wanted us to remember her, not her cancer. She also loved her daily
Coke Diet Coke and Candy Bar - somehow they balanced out. So I put the kids in the car, let them each pick out their favorite soda and candy bar, and went to the park.
As we sat enjoying our sugar, I told them stories about their grandma and how she would have bought cokes and candy bars for them. I told them how she would have taken them to the Dollar Store, and made decorations for their rooms, and taught them to paint animals on rocks. Mostly, though, I told them how very much she loved them. How precious for me that after fourteen years, my kids still cheer when it is Coke and Candy Bar Day. I think mom would have liked this very much.
One of my most precious memories with mom happened while she and I were in Tulsa. We were staying in special apartments for cancer patients, so she could receive her daily treatments without having to stay in the hospital. Now you must understand, in my mother's mind, her body might have cancer - which was an inconvenience - but she still had projects to do. She came to that apartment loaded with all kinds of materials, books, and supplies. And lucky for us, Hobby Lobby was just down the street should we run out!
After lunch one day, mom pulled out a scrap of wood she'd picked up from a woodworker. Using her acrylic paints and a postcard of a covered bridge in Winterset, Iowa for inspiration, she began to paint. In an instant - the world around us stopped - and there she was. I literally could not breathe for fear that I would disturb the magic that surrounded her. As she nonchalantly talked, I watched her brush become one with her hand and dance across that castaway piece of wood, transforming it into something beautiful beyond its wildest dreams.
Never was I more in love with my mother than in that moment.
To her it was just a practice piece. To me, a moment forever frozen in time and treasured in my heart.
Thanks for stopping by,

The insane anti-Semitic racist demagogue who holds sway with many members of the Congressional Black Caucus, as well as the Jew-hating Women's March, is now claiming that black people are entitled to a separate state and that it is God's desire to see such a thing happen.
Nation Of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan's incendiary comments have been given new life on social media after he made the comments during a 2015 radio interview that surfaced in an Instagram post that has since been removed because for once, one of those Silicon Valley swine have actually enforced anti-hate speech policies when it comes from a figure beloved to a good portion of the political left.
Via Fox News, "Louis Farrakhan calls for separate state for Black Americans, says that's 'what God wants'":
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan called for a separate state for Black Americans in an Instagram video posted on Thursday, saying that's "what God wants" while those opposed he described as "slaves."
Farrakhan, who in recent months has made numerous anti-Semitic comments, made his call for a nation-state separate from white America in response to the question whether it's still his and the group's goal.
"That's not just my goal. That's what God wants. Most of our people don't want it here," Farrakhan said. "You love your enemy. You want to stay with your enemy. You're in love with his wealth. I understand the fascination, slaves. I understand that. But God has something else for us."
Additional details via The Blaze:
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan once called for black Americans to have their own separate state. In a Thursday Instagram video titled, "Blacks Must SEPARATE from America!" Farrakhan explained "that's what God wants."
The video features footage of a resurfaced 2015 interview on "The Rock Newman Show," during which Farrakhan said that God wants black Americans to have their own state and that blacks who disagree are simply "slaves."
In the beginning of the video, Newman asked, "[Is it] your goal of the Nation of Islam to still establish a separate nation or state?"
Farrakhan responded, "That's not just my goal. That's what God wants! Most of our people don't want it yet. You love your enemy. You want to stay with your enemy. You're in love with his wealth!"
"Oh, I understand the fascination, slaves!" he added. "I understand that. But God has something else for us!"
Farrakhan said that this has always been the Nation of Islam's goal.
"Let me tell you what's gonna happen," he explained. "Yes, I'm after a separate state. A separate nation. In the '60s, what was our cry, Rock? We weren't saying we want to integrate, we were saying 'It's nation time!' Black Power to do what? To integrate a lunch counter? Black Power to build a nation for 40 million — now near 50 million — black people."
Interestingly enough, a much younger version of Barack Obama's vice president Joe Biden would seem to jibe with what Farrakhan wants:
Joe Biden embraced segregation in 1975, claiming it was a matter of 'black pride'https://t.co/Ws5wDjAekM
— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) February 1, 2019
Once again, we have more evidence that the greatest trick that the devil ever played was convincing Americans that the Democrats aren't racist to the core.

No wind sees uneventful day for ORICA-AIS at Ladies Tour of QatarWed 4 Feb 2015
ORICA-AIS have finished outside the top ten in the bunch sprint finish on stage one of the Ladies Tour of Qatar.
On a Tour known for it's gusty conditions, the wind did not eventuate on the opening day of racing with the stage from the Museum of Islamic Art to Dukhan Beach never seriously threatening to break up.
Swedish champion Emma Johansson, in her first race for the season, was ORICA-AIS' top finisher in 13th position behind Annalisa Cucinotta (Alé Cipollini) who claimed victory.
Sport director Martin Barras provides us his report on stage one action:
What do you mean, no wind?
A day without wind in Qatar is a little bit like an over whipped Pavlova served without fruit or cream - it's dry and crumbly (just like the desert sand) and unappealing.
That's the sort of day we had today!
Mind you, the peloton here was split in its opinion before the start. There were those that loved the idea of calm day (mostly bunch sprinters and their teams) and those who needed anti-depressants to get through the day (we belong to that group).
The first stage of the 2015 Ladies Tour of Qatar was staged between the magnificent Museum of Islamic art on the Doha Corniche and the oil town of Dukhan on the Qatari West Coast. The 99 km trek headed straight west across the entire width of the country. The stage had two intermediate time bonification sprints at km 28 and 69, which, combined with the final sprint, in Dukhan would provide all the action for this otherwise wind neutered stage.
For us, it was a matter of working out a way to come out of the day in contention by gathering any bonification we could claim. Without a dedicated bunch sprinter, the job was given to Emma to sprint for the team and we worked out a couple of scenarios we could use for those sprints, depending on circumstances.
The outcome for us was barren: We had a go at all three sprints in a couple of different ways, came close but ultimately got no reward. In between those sprints, it was a day mostly to forget. For the riders it was a constant game of pinball in the bunch, trying to avoid the multiple crashes caused by a packed nervous peloton. Annalisa Cuccinotta (Ale Cippolini) won that game and the stage and now leads the race.
In the race car, well… the highlights went from the sandwiches to a photo of Pat the mechanic uploaded on the Internet yesterday (Pat claims he is not vain but he was keen to point out he had a vein bulging from his forearm!!!) to the massive speed humps (the highest points in Qatar) and my decision to avoid them by driving the car across the desert instead. Oh, and I forget the sundown call to prayer, a definite highlight for me which I shared selflessly with my car companions at high decibels on the way back to the hotel.
On the eve of day two we find ourselves sitting a bit on the outside of the race and have modified our plans accordingly. We will still cater to the sprint game but are keen to try something a bit more enterprising. With current conditions, we could be excused for seeking the advice and comfort of a clairvoyant of the "habb" (to blow, in Arabic) but eh, the best Pavlova is the one you make yourself, isn't it?
Here is my call to prayer for strawberries and cream… Tomorrow please!

Lovely Fort Myers Beach has many different faces. It can be wild and crazy when the rum runners are flowing. It can be quiet and subdued when season is out. It can be that island get away that seems like a vacation, but is only 15 minutes away. I love Ft. Myers beach for all of its faces.
I was driving home a couple weekends ago from watching some Sunday football at my buddies pool-side Tiki bar (Yes, life is tough sometimes) and took my normal beach way home. There are two ways to get to my house from my friends. The quick way which is US 41, or the slow way that takes you down the barrier island of Ft. Myers Beach. I almost always take the beach way. I want to see which face the island is going to show off.
I always drive by this empty lot next to the water and it always calls to me…STOP, TAKE MY PICTURE. Today was the day I stopped. Here is what I captured.
What face did the island show you?

Oslo Hydropolis
16-27 September 2019
AHO, Arkitektur- og designhøgskolenGet directions
The Oslo Hydropolis exhibition showcases visions of a future urban Oslo where the water is an active part of the city.
The Oslo Hydropolis exhibition will use physical models to showcase a vision of Greater Oslo as an area constructed around waterways.
The exhibition is looking for perfection and reflects on a counter-image of what the city is today. How would Oslo be structured if the geography of the water, its social utilisation, and adaptations to climate change were the guiding principles for the development of the city?
This is a utopian project in a broad sense – both critical and future-oriented – and shows how alternative scenarios can shed light on today's decisions and contribute to the future we want.

If You Are Looking For A Lawyer Read These Tips
Read on to find out how to choose the best lawyer for your case. You will be very happy you did so.
Always get a history prior to signing up with their practice. Just because a licensed attorney doesn't mean they are good at their job. Be sure that you go over his past carefully so that you're confident in their abilities.
Lawyers have the experience that is necessary to deal with your situation.
You want to always be able to stay in contact with your lawyer. Many people complain about the difficulty of reaching their lawyers. You don't want to avoid being left wondering what's going just because your lawyer is out golfing.
You need to speak with your lawyer on a specific schedule.Many lawyers get hired and won't communicate with their clients for extended periods of time. Getting a schedule established helps you in the future.
You shouldn't be hesitant of asking your lawyer any questions you may have.A reputable lawyer will give you exactly what they are doing every step of the way.
Do not go with a lawyer if you feel uncomfortable. This also includes how comfortable you feel with their fees too. Don't give a blank check to apply to the retainer. Ask for a quote right away and go over the cost before it spirals out of control during your case.
Find out whether or not a lawyer is experienced with your case type. Just because a lawyer lists that he specializes in cases similar to yours does not mean that he is able to win your case.
You want to have the best communication possible with your lawyer on a regular basis.If you have deadlines coming up, then you need to provide all that your lawyer needs. This will give you the outcome of your case.
Your case may languish if he or she is too busy with other cases. Ask your lawyer immediately whether or not they will have time to handle your case. They must be honest about their schedule so you can find an attorney that has enough time.
It will be easier to work with your lawyer so that you guys have good chemistry. If you do not feel comfortable with the lawyer during your first few meetings, you should consider getting yourself a different lawyer. Trust your feelings and pick a lawyer.
Do your research before taking care of a workers' compensation claim. Each state establishes different laws with the time you've got to file and what proof must be shown. Worker's Compensation is not like other court claims and should be approached so. There are different rules that have to be followed.
Use online resources to find the best lawyer. Most attorneys will have a strong online presence online.Look at the official website of the firm to see how professional it is. If the website looks unprofessional, you may want to think about the possibility that the lawyer's practice isn't great either.
As mentioned earlier in this article, not every lawyer will fit every person's specific legal needs. If you understand what different lawyers specialize in, though, you can pick someone who will handle your case effectively. Use the tips you just read and do more research on lawyers and legal issues before you get started.

A Noise Downstairs: A Novel (Hardcover)
Staff Reviews
There are three things you need to know about Paul Davis. Firstly, he was brutally attacked by his friend - a friend he caught in the dead of night attempting to dispose of two mutilated bodies. Secondly, Paul has been hearing noises – noises that he shouldn't be hearing, noises that no one else hears, noises that have no reasonable explanation. Lastly, nothing in his life is as it seems – not the murders that landed his colleague in jail and him in a therapist's office; not the typewriter his wife gave him as a gift to inspire him; not even the chronic memory problems he's experienced since he was knocked out. Worse even, there's a possibility he may never find out. Linwood Barclay's A Noise Downstairs will have you guessing until the very last page just what is haunting the life of our broken protagonist.
- Tianna— From Tianna's Recs
August 2018 Indie Next List
"If you're looking for a wild ride, look no further, because you're not going to get wilder than A Noise Downstairs. For a book that seems to have a little of everything — unresolved trauma, untrustworthy characters, a mysterious typewriter, and a hefty dose of the paranormal — Barclay tells his story with a smooth ease that will pull you through the pages at a breakneck speed. And, well, no spoilers, but the ending will blow your socks clean off."
— Marya Johnston, Out West Books, Grand Junction, CO
The New York Times bestselling author of No Time for Goodbye returns with a haunting psychological thriller that blends the twists and turns of Gillian Flynn with the driving suspense of Harlan Coben, in which a man is troubled by odd sounds for which there is no rational explanation.
College professor Paul Davis is a normal guy with a normal life. Until, driving along a deserted road late one night, he surprises a murderer disposing of a couple of bodies. That's when Paul's "normal" existence is turned upside down. After nearly losing his own life in that encounter, he finds himself battling PTSD, depression, and severe problems at work. His wife, Charlotte, desperate to cheer him up, brings home a vintage typewriter—complete with ink ribbons and heavy round keys—to encourage him to get started on that novel he's always intended to write.
However, the typewriter itself is a problem. Paul swears it's possessed and types by itself at night. But only Paul can hear the noise coming from downstairs; Charlotte doesn't hear a thing. And she worries he's going off the rails.
Paul believes the typewriter is somehow connected to the murderer he discovered nearly a year ago. The killer had made his victims type apologies to him before ending their lives. Has another sick twist of fate entwined his life with the killer—could this be the same machine? Increasingly tormented but determined to discover the truth and confront his nightmare, Paul begins investigating the deaths himself.
But that may not be the best thing to do. Maybe Paul should just take the typewriter back to where his wife found it. Maybe he should stop asking questions and simply walk away while he can. . . .
