Film Review: Punch Lady
This 2007 Korean film is a strange bird. It is a action-Drama-black comedy and probably it's strongest selling point is this is a movie that would NEVER be made in Hollywood. Written and Directed by Hyo-jin Kang who acted in the Korean action comedy My wife is Gangster is also rare because it is directed by a woman. I watch a lot of Korean cinema and I don't remember seeing a movie directed by woman before.
It is the story of a Woman who is a victim of brutal domestic violence by her moron husband who is a professional kickboxer. Shortly after she and their daughter leave the abuse, the husband 'accidently' kills another fighter whom the wife had a relationship in the past. In front of a live audience she challenges her husband to a fight in the ring. She has three months to train.
The comedy is found mostly in the training and the build up to the fight. There are some really funny moments. The ending which you expect to have a typical sports/ competition movie ending subverts that a little. In the end the movie explores the idea of what would happen if domestic violence was dragged out into the light. Worth seeing if you're a fan of Korean cinema
Book Review: City of Glass by Paul Auster
City of Glass by Paul Auster Volume one of the New York trilogyPenguin 203 pages
This book came to my attention when Jonas the vocalist of one of my favorite bands Katatonia referred to this book as one of his biggest lyrical influences. As a huge Katatonia fans my partner Cari and I were both interested in this novel. I found out after I started reading it that many of my friends whose opinions I trust were huge fans of this bizarro detective tale.
The most common explanations of this involve the Hollywood habit of saying it combines Kafka style surreal story telling with a classic Detective novel vibe. I almost said structure but this novel doesn't really follow a standard three act structure.
It is the tale of an author of detective stories named Quinn who receives a late night phone call asking him to investigate a case. The caller calls him by the author's name and the mystery becomes not only the case but how the story unfolds and the power of language to do so. There are moments of humor and the world depicted is always many shades of weird.
Much of the mystery is told through a lens of un-reality. This is one of the strongest elements f the novel and the exploration of words and there use could have easily derailed a novel in the hands of a less skilled author that could roadblock a narrative. Here it fits in perfectly to the mystery and the feeling of the novel as whole.
I hate to judge a novel against a zealous publisher's description but I didn't agree with the description of the novel having "Hitchcock like-suspense." If Auster's debut novel had one weakness to me I didn't feel a hint of Suspense when I read about Quinn navigating the case. It is hard to build emotional connection and suspense in a un-real world, but it is possible and been done before.
Over all I think this is a powerful and well written nothing that transcends genre. Check it out.Katatonia song influenced by City of Glass...

Wuxia film review: The Lost Bladesman
The Lost Bladesman Starring Donnie Yen
My novel Hunting The Moon Tribe has several characters straight out of Chinese mythology. One of those characters is considered to be a god of warfare Guan Yu. That character was based on a real life general from the Han and Dynasty era, infact he played a role in that downfall. That is why he is one of the most important characters in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
ROT3K is an amazing novel that has a place in Chinese culture that makes it sorta like a War and Peace and Lord of The Rings at the same time. Probably two hundred Wuxia Kung Fu movies are based on this novel, single chapters or spun off characters. Some of the better of the most recent ones includes Peter Chan's The Warlords(starring Jet Li), Daniel Lee's Three Kingdoms and John Woo's Red Cliff. Now Screenwriter Felix Chong (Known for Infernal Affairs the basis for The departed) writes and directs this powerful epic Starring Donnie Yen. To me there are two kinds of Wuxia movies. Campy and high class I like both but I would put this one in the high class camp. Gritty war epics have been in favor in Hong Kong since CGI made staging massive ware easier.
Well written and directed the story is not sacrificed for the action. Donnie Yen directs the action as well as starring in front of the camera. His fight scenes continue to get better.

Chinese Ghost Story 2011 Quick review
Chinese Ghost Story (2011) Quick Wuxia film review
One of my all time favorite movies and a huge influence on my first novel Hunting the Moon Tribe was the 1986 classic Hong Kong movie A Chinese Ghost Story. Produced by Tsui Hark and directed by my favorite kung fu director Ching Siu Tung the 1986 movie can mostly be compared in tone to Evil Dead 2 with its blend of horror, humor and fantasy. It is like no other movie, when you consider it has 1,000 year tree demons, sword fights in hell and a rapping Taoist monk. The two sequels are good, but nothing compared to the first film which I have probably watched 20 times and never get sick of.
So I had mixed feelings on the idea of a remake. On one hand it was to be directed by Wilson Yip who has made a few cool movies with Donnie Yen (Ip Man 1 &2,Flashpoint), and as great as the first one was, it lacked modern special effects. So I kinda liked the idea of updated effects.
So last night I finally watched the remake. So What did I think? Well if you have never seen either film I would say go back to the 1986 film first. It is better. There were plenty of things that the filmmakers did right. For one they used the same theme song, that gave me a big smile and made me feel like I was watching Chinese Ghost Story, if I was in a theater I would have clapped. Other cool scenes included a demon hunter John Woo style fighting with crossbows, and a weird scene where the demon hunter is floating on an ocean of leaves.
As good as the first film? Not close, but better than most Hollywood remakes.
Book Review: Dhalgren by Samuel Delany
Dhalgren by Samuel Delany
801 pages Vinatge Trade paperback
This classic of Science Fiction won pretty much every major award in the field the year I was born. While I knew a lot about this author, I had not yet read anything by him. I decided to give Delany a shot with this novel in part because two people whom opinions I respect ,Shaun Lawton editor of the freezine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and Robert Garfat former owner of Dark Horse books in Victoria BC both said it was one of their favorite novels. It is also an apocalypse novel, which is my favorite subgenre.
After having read the novel I think of it as less of an apocalypse novel, less of a science fiction novel, but more of a surrealist novel. I didn't really bat my eyes at a 800 page end of the world novel Swan Song and The Stand two of the best in the genre are epic in length and tone. One odd thing about this novel is it is epic in length but the story itself is not grand, in fact it is very personal and tracks one group of characters in a city named Bellona.Judging from what I know of the author and the time in which it was written, it is
clear Delany is commenting on issues of race, gender and sexuality as he experienced it in New York in the late 60's and early seventies. The end of the world is strangely little more than a Maguffin in this novel. So I admit I was a bit disappointed that the first real description of the events that brought Civilization crashing down came on page 419.
It is the story of a character that goes by the name Kid who happens into a city named Bellona. Early in the book we are not sure what happened, but we know that Kid arrived from a devastated America and this is the first living city he has found. Survival is hard, some band together in communes, and others in gangs. Kid has to manage both worlds. In between his ideas of race, gender and sexuality do not have the same meaning anymore.
This novel is beautifully composed; the prose is poetic and rich. The characters are strong and some of the most important elements of the novel. Is it as great as everyone told me it was? Sure; it is a powerful novel worth reading but my problems came partly from my own expectations. I believe also there is a reason that surreal novels tend to be short. It is hard to sustain an experimental piece over 800 pages and keep a reader interested. I really enjoyed this novel but found myself craving a little more straight forward story telling.

THE RABUKA-NBF LOAN nexus resurfaces as Rajendra Chaudhry throws questions at NFP president Tupou Draunidalo over her late father's $156,605 loan from the collapsed bank; Victor Lal's statement!
In 2010, I published, in 22 parts, the names and lengthy profiles of all those who defaulted on their National Bank of Fiji (NBF) loans, resulting in Fiji losing $200 million, at least according to the paper trail confiscated by police and the DPP's Office, then led by Nazhat Shameem. Among them was NFP president Tupou Draunidalo's father, the late Savenaca Draunidalo; he was second-in-command when Sitiveni Rabuka overthrew Tupou's step- father Dr Timoci Bavadra in the 1987 coup. It has been brought to our notice that recently Rajendra Chaudhry, while defending Rabuka's leadership of SODELPA not only reminded Tupou (if we may address her by her first name) on his Facebook of her father's role in the Rabuka coup but also directed her to the link below in Coupfourpointfive blog about Savenaca Draunidalo listed as owing $156,605. On 9 June 2010 Tupou had written to Coupfourpointfive claiming that her father had paid every cent after selling his house, and asked the editor to ask me to contact her father's lawyer Virend Kapadia. She also took a swipe at me, "Very lazy work, Victor Lal". Kapadia had declined to answer any questions from me, citing lawyer-client confidentiality. "I cannot disclose details to you unless authorized by Mr Draunidalo's wife who is the executrix of his Estate. The matter was settled and monies paid to the Bank accordingly."

Tags: Christchurch earthquake, patience, perspective
What a day. Posts like this one probably come along quite regularly. This one isn't really about teaching and learning but that's okay. It is still a reflection of the day.
I'm currently sitting in my son's bedroom as he goes to sleep. He's had trouble getting to sleep recently so this is a bit of a regular occurrence. I love being a dad and spending time with my kids. I try to get home as early as possible so I can spend time with them. Today was no different. The train times have changed slightly so my normal train home now leaves 7 minutes earlier than it did last week. I made it today! I was amazed. But we sat and sat. About 10 minutes after it was supposed to leave an announcement came over that it was cancelled and to catch the next one. Usually this would really frustrate me. But today was different. I guess the events of the day really had me quite sober. Today the 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch, and believe me this put everything in perspective.
This is a horrible day for New Zealand. Five months since the first big quake hit Christchurch. It has made me think of life and people. The cancellation of my train was nothing. I had the blessing of going home to my wonderful wife and 5 kids.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Christchurch in the tragic time. New Zealand is behind you as is a lot of people and countries around the world.

Recovery Slow for Minooka Teen after Being Hit By Pick-Up in October 2011
Before the fall of 2011, Kelsey Little was an active 13-year-old who was a straight-A-student at school as well as an active participant in sports and dance classes.
Then in October 2011, she was hit by a pick-up truck as she walked home from a Minooka ice cream stand with friends. The driver was a 16-year-old male who was charged for not slowing down and driving without a license. Kelsey was taken to Provena St. Joseph Hospital where tests revealed she had traumatic head injuries. She was airlifted to Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago only hours later.
Kelsey was in the hospital for nearly a week before the wound on her head healed completely. She wore a neck brace during her hospital stay and for two weeks after her release to prevent further neck injury.
Since then Kelsey has had two hemotomas, which is swelling of the brain at the site of the injury. Her short term memory has been affected, making studying harder for the 9th grader. Some days, she has headaches that are nearly unbearable. Her doctors stated that the original injury, the skull fracture, only began to mend eight months after the accident.
But according to her mother, Kelsey is still the same loving daughter and friend that she has always been. Her schedule at school is lighter but she is on the pom squad at her high school.
When a pedestrian is struck by a motor vehicle, the recovery can take longer than anyone expects. If you or loved one knows someone who has been injured in the last year in a motor vehicle accident and still recovering, call Spiros Law, P.C. at (815) 929-9292 to explore your legal rights.

Episode 231
|Japanese voice
180 cm (5'11") [1]
92 kg (203 lbs) [1]
|Hair color
Emperor of Kushan
Emperor Ganishka (ガニシュカ Ganishuka?) is the head of the Kushan Nation and main antagonist of the Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc. He is also an apostle, but one who opposed the God Hand in contrast to the other Apostles.
Ganishka is a large-built man with a thick beard and mustache. He wears the Royal sherwani with a turban. While his eyes were originally normal when he was human, they changed to light blue irises with blackened sclerae and his mouth became wider and filled with sharp teeth.
Ganishka is a merciless king who killed countless people in order to secure his life and throne. While he acted fearless, he was in a constant state of fear and mistrust toward those around him. This led Ganishka to believe that only fear could ensure his survival. Truly evil and inhumanly cruel, he would string up women to be eaten by crocodiles for his amusement and had hundreds more imprisoned to be raped and violently killed by dunking them in his artificial Daka generator, causing the infant Daka to tear their way out of their mothers. Even other apostles were not safe from his cruelty, having used some of them and stitched them together alive to create the Reincarnator that creates the Daka.
Ganishka is shown to be very arrogant, as seen when he stated why he would not follow Griffith. When he met and discovered a branded Guts, he offered to join forces to defeat Griffith. He admitted that he thought favorably of those who possessed enough strong hate to survive the inescapable fear and despair of the endless night of spiritual torture. However, when Guts rejected his offer, he didn't second-guess his decision to try and kill him.
As an apostle who tapped deeper into the Astral plane, Ganishka's apostle form is second only to the God Hand in power. Unlike other apostles, who transform directly into their alternate forms, Ganishka's apostle form is a monstrous proxy he creates out of fog. This proxy is several hundred feet tall and resembles his face, and he can in fact speak and hear out of it and is capable of triggering it anywhere, from any location he wishes. This proxy can generate lightning strikes that give it an extremely powerful offense. It had only one weak point, and only Schierke was able to locate it through her magical powers: the spot directly between its eyes. Striking this point destroyed the proxy and caused Ganishka's real body, many miles away, some measure of pain.
Griffith, however, being one of the God Hand, shamed Ganishka in front of the ruined Kushan forces easily. When Ganishka became enraged and triggered his proxy, Griffith blew it away with a powerful wind he summoned, and claimed that he should be careful not to do such a thing on windy days.
Second Transformation
After his stalemate with Griffith, Ganishka decides to enter the Man-Made Beherit he commissioned for creating his Daka to transcend into a form equal to Griffith in power. This transformation that Ganishka undergoes requires that he tap the depths of the Astral Plane itself, and must use all his forces within Wyndham's walls as sacrificial offerings. Only Daiba survives the sacrifice, safe behind a barrier as he witnesses his lord's rebirth destroying the entire city once dawn approaches.
In this state, referred by Daiba and the other Kushan to be their god "Shiva" incarnate, Ganishka becomes a giant taller than Midland's mountains with whip-like arms and a mound of multiple heads on his shoulders that all breath fire. Despite his power, Ganishka loses all sense of rational thinking and self, unable to register the fact that he is now a huge entity and sees everyone around him as insects. It can be observed that his mental state deteriorates as he stays in this form. At first he is able to recognize Daiba, but is then disoriented and starts to lose himself under his sheer power. He crushes his army under his footsteps and considers the gore thus produced as "crimson flowers" while sired familiars emerge from the corpses' remains.
Long ago, Ganishka was born the son of the ruler of Kushan, yet his mother favored his younger brother and sought to poison him. But Ganishka survived and took his revenge by killing his own brother, forcing their mother to commit suicide out of grief soon after. Though he had political rivals, Ganishka managed to properly maneuver his way through the dangers as he grew into an adult. When Ganishka met the emperor, his father, in person he noted the man's eyes were full of fear and suspicion before arranging the emperor's death and killing the assassin he hired in order to cover his tracks. Upon taking the throne, Ganishka realized the best way to remain on the throne is through fear and conquest, his campaigns not leaving him time to spend with his remaining family whom he secretly feared. Years later as he began to envision himself as the rightful ruler of the entire world, Ganishka attended a banquet in his honor before learning it was an assassination set up by his own son. Being poisoned and then stabbed numerous times by the spears of the surrounding guards, Ganishka lived long enough to reach an oddly-shaped stone that was given to him by Daiba. Ganishka activates the Beherit, sacrificing his son to be reborn an apostle so he would never again feel pain inflicted against him by other humans. Despite being an apostle, rather than be their follower like the others, Ganishka instead acts against the God Hand for his own whims.
Conviction and Falcon of the Millenium Arcs
During the plague that has struck Midland, Ganishka takes over Wyndham as a foothold to begin his campaign to conquer the country while sending Silat to find and capture Griffith. After Griffith escaped and formed the new Band of the Falcon, Ganishka ends up losing his captive Charlotte when the band distracted him and his forces. Ganishka later mounts an assault on the city of Vritannis as the Holy See are gathering an army to oppose him, sending his monstrous armies to decimate the population for an easy conquest. But Ganshika's inhuman armies are slaughtered by Guts and the apostles serving Griffith, who leads the rest of his forces against the main army and allows Ganishka to retreat in a humiliating stalemate to prepare for a final battle at Wyndham.
Ganishka, motivated to become Griffith's equal, is prompted to dive into the Man-Made Beherit he had Daiba create to offer lives of his own men within the city walls to undergo a transformation. The result destroyed Wyndham as Ganishka, compared by Daiba to their god Shiva, became a miles-tall monstrosity while gradually losing his mind and siring apostle spawn from those crushed under his feet. Griffith eventually reaches Ganishka's human face and redirects the Skull Knight's attack on him towards it, causing Ganishka to explode with a giant tree growing from where he stood.
Berserk and the Band of the Hawk
Ganishka serves as the final boss of the 2016 game Berserk and the Band of the Hawk.
Ganishka appears in the final chapter, "Pishaca Invasion", wherein his forces have invaded Vritannis. Once they are defeated, he arrives and begins overseeing the assault, only for his appearance to trigger the arrival of the Band of the Hawk Reborn, who are intent on killing him. Once this begins, Ganishka will create an environmental hazard in the form of lightning strikes, preceded by glowing circles on the ground that spark with electricity. Once the party reaches the harbor, Ganishka will appear to block their progress, spurring Zodd and Guts to team up in order to take him out. Rather than instantly being defeated as in the manga, Ganishka is made fully corporeal as a result and the boss battle ensues.
Ganishka is quite a chaotic and dangerous boss, but not overtly difficult thanks to the Berserker Armor. Ganishka will enshroud himself in lightning, aim lightning bolts at the player, and and set large spheres of lightning running around the arena to stun the player. Each time a life bar is taken (he has a total of five, the highest in the game), he will materialize either in the center of the arena or back at the edge of it. Due to Ganishka's size and lack of a guard or evasion, he is not difficult to land strikes against. Nonetheless, players should keep on the move at all times, particularly in the late stages of the boss fight, as Ganishka will train lightning on them constantly and many different attacks can be covering the arena at once. Players should particularly beware if playing as Apostle Zodd or Apostle Wyald, as Ganishka possesses one of the few attacks in the game that can stun them and the recovery time for these characters is abnormally long.
Ganishka also appears as a boss in the Endless Eclipse, being challenged on Level 95 and offering an environmental hazard from Level 91 all the way until he is defeated. Certain characters can also be given one of his missions, wherein he desires to wipe the world clean of Griffith and his followers, culminating in a boss fight at the harbor with Zodd.
- Emperor Ganishka is based on Kanishka, who was a king of the Kushan Empire in Central Asia, from 127 AD until 151 AD.
- Ganishka is the only apostle not to revert to his original human form upon death. This is due to his body being transformed into the World Spiral Tree.

Redesigned Visualizations
Lately, we have been seeing a high number of 'bad' visualizations in media. Over at Infosthetics, they even had a contest to identify the 'Most Ugly and Useless Infographic'. It was worth a few chuckles but it definitely made one realize the importance of effective data visualization. It is unfortunate that some people have to make decisions based on such visual representations.
More than just looking at bad visual representations, there seems to be an increasingly constructive trend of redesigning graphs/visualizations that seem to get very popular in media. I wholeheartedly support this endeavor and hope to see more. It is naturally easy to criticize other visualizations, but redesigning it to 'put your visualization where your mouth is' takes courage. Here are a few examples.
If you have seen any other interesting visualization critiques, please send them my way and I shall be happy to update this post.

Redesigning visualizations is good practice: it forces you to figure out what exactly is wrong and how to fix it. It also shows how to apply some of the abstract ideas about visualization, so it can be quite useful to people to see how (and if) those make a difference.
I wonder when people will start doing the same for SciVis 😉
re: the healthcare visuals. While the new version conveys the information better, for sheer shock value, the original still draws my eye better. And when it comes to healthcare costs in this country, the more shock, the better!
Neat examples, thank you for putting this summary together. I particularly like Robert Kosara's redesigned cost of getting sick diagram.
The redesigned healthcare visualization is like night and day with the original.
I didn't see any dashboards here, but I do know the difference between good and bad dashboards is displaying the right metrics (KPIs) and making those visualizations 'actionable'.

Past performance should not be seen as an indication of future performance. Changes in rates of exchange may also reduce the value of your investment. The value of investments and any income derived from them can go down as well as up as a result of market or currency movements and investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Screening out sectors or companies may result in less diversification and hence more volatility in investment values.
In a negative month for global equities, we take some encouragement from our performance relative to the wider market. Stock selection was the key driver of resilience, with Kerry Group benefiting from a solid trading update and Amdocs regaining some ground after a better-than-expected earnings report. Mastercard also performed well after providing investors with a positive update at the end of April. On the negative side, names with Chinese exposure detracted as US/China tensions rumbled on. Both Aptiv (automotive supplier) and A.O. Smith (water heaters) felt the impact, with the latter also affected by a 'short seller report'.
At the sector level, being underweight Consumer Staples and overweight Information Technology detracted. Stock selection within both these areas added value, however.

Our decision to exit Amazon.com was the standout transaction of the month. Several factors contributed to this move, not least growing concerns about Amazon's move into advertising and associated worries about how they utilise personal consumer data and the onset of greater regulatory scrutiny. We are also mindful that whilst some progress has been made with our engagement efforts, the pace of improvement has slowed. Microsoft replaces Amazon.com – its addition reflecting our positive assessment of its earnings prospects and its ESG sustainability outlook.
We also sold Covetrus (animal health technology) and Kontoor Brands (jeans-wear), which span out of Henry Schein and VF Corp, respectively.
Broader positioning remains unchanged, with an ongoing bias towards higher quality, sustainable growth companies that can prosper in any near-term economic and policy-driven volatility. We continue to add to positions where we see strong underlying quality and where the market allows us to top up holdings at more attractive levels. And where appropriate, we have been building positions that offer more defensive revenue streams given the slowdown in economic growth expectations and trimming holdings that have performed strongly and offer reduced upside potential.
Sector-wise, Information Technology, Industrials and Healthcare are our main overweights, whilst Financials is a modest overweight. The portfolio is underweight Communication Services, Energy and Consumer Staples. At the regional level, Emerging Markets, Japan (take a look at our recent Japan trip note) and the UK are our biggest overweights, with the U.S. our largest underweight.
Whilst resurfacing rhetoric around trade-pressured equity markets generally, the Q1 earnings season continued in robust fashion, with many companies posting better-than-expected results. That said, a number of obstacles remain in place, with global trade issues, geopolitical tensions and central bank actions among the factors capable of triggering short-term volatility. Whilst valuations have now returned to levels that appear to be fair given the conditions, we still feel that there is a positive outlook over the medium term for equity markets. We remain vigilant but stay constructive overall.

Next I had to figure out how we were going to eat the 17 pounds of fresh peaches lolling around on the kitchen counter.
So, I spent the next three weeks baking. And baking. And baking. Peach pies. Peach cobblers. Peach cakes. Peach compotes. Which meant I spent about $60 in ingredients and another 60 hours baking. But I digress...
Here are the two best peach recipes - one for Peach Cake and one for Peach Crumble from the many we tried.
I highly recommend these peach recipes for being totally easy to make, and yet incredibly delicious, and perhaps most importantly, using the largest quantity of peaches. I am happy to report we ate every peach. And in fact, we are about to go peach picking again and repeat the whole process!
Best Peach and Blueberry Bundt Cake
This one is for you poor fools who went both peach picking and blueberry picking. For the fruit quantities, just throw in what you have. I doubled the peach quantity and put in about half the blueberry amount and it turned out great. Remember the key here is to use up as much of your fresh produce as possible.
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1-1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2-1/2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2-1/4 cups chopped peeled fresh peaches (1/2-inch pieces)
2 cups fresh blueberries
whipped cream for garnish (optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Mix in the eggs, one at a time.
5. Add the milk, mix thoroughly.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the cake flour and baking powder. Add to the creamed mixture.
7. Stir in peaches and blueberries until just combined.
9. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Serve as is, or add a few extra fresh blueberries and peaches on top and a dollop of whipped cream.
Best Peach Crumble
I am sorta a fruit crumble devotee, so while there are lots of crumble recipes I think are delicious, this one wins for it's inspired choice to pair biscuit with peach. And also because it's really, really easy to make.
8-10 peaches, cut into wedges
1/4 cup sugar (you can use less if your fruit is very sweet)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Biscuit topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup very hot or boiling water
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Gently toss the sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch in a medium baking dish. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
3. While the peaches are in the oven, stir together flour, sugar and baking powder. Blend in the butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender. It should have a coarse texture, don't be tempted to over-mix. Add the warm/boiling water and stir until the biscuit topping just holds together.
4. Take the peaches out of the oven, and cover with the biscuit topping by dropping by the spoonful.
The entire top of the peaches will not be covered, but the topping will spread when it cooks, and the end result will be a perfect, dappled crumble topping.
5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until topping is golden.
Serve as is, or with vanilla ice cream.
In addition to peach desserts, also delicious are peaches in green salads, peaches cooked on the grill, peach salsa, and peaches with basil and prosciutto.
Do you have a favorite peach recipe? Share it here. Goodness knows I'll need all the ones I can get in a few days.

Ford starts CES week by announcing support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for SYNC 3 equipped vehicles.
The first car to get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support is the 2017 Ford Escape, which previously debuted at the 2015 LA Auto Show.
All future 2017 model year vehicles with SYNC 3 will support the smartphone connectivity features as well.
Previously released vehicles, including 2016 model year vehicles available with SYNC 3, will receive a software update later this year to enable support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Owners of cars with the second-generation SYNC with MyFord Touch will not get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, unfortunately.

Prior to this year Kevin Millwood was among the worst pitchers in preventing steals. In 193 attempts, baserunners had succeeded 161 times, better than 83%.
This year, there have been just 7 attempts and 4 SBs.
Now, Barajas is certainly much better than many of the catchers he had in the past, but this is a huge change.
Have the Rangers worked with him on holding runners, changed his delivery from the stretch, or otherwise intervened?
More generally, absent some change in Millwood, this would seem to suggest that SB prevention is primarily a catcher skill. Given the frequent movement among pitchers and catchers, it would seem to be relatively simple to break down how much of SB prevention is a catcher skill versus a pitcher skill, but I have never seen a good study. Any clues to the specific or general question?

I have always been a big dance fan. Therefore, I spend a lot of time watching dance videos on YouTube. Some of the best dancers are Asians in my opinion. Our small frame, body control, and innate athletic abilities make us natural dancers. But, that's just my opinion.
One thing that you can't argue with though is that there has been a massive increase in public interest in the art of dance in Vietnam. Numerous dance groups and dance studios have popped up through the years. Currently, Kpop/Vpop dance challenges in public and flash mob dance routines are quite popular with the youth. So, let's talk a look at some of my personal favorite dance videos.
You might confuse KAT-X for a Kpop boy band if you just so happen to randomly stumble upon their videos on the internet like I did. KAT-X, however, is a dance group from Hanoi made up of 5 guys who like to make dance videos covering popular Kpop and Vpop songs on YouTube and TikTok. Their street performances have such a high degree of professionalism and quality to them that one could be easily fooled into thinking that KAT-X is in fact an actual idol group. Well, they aren't. But, the swagger and the personality that they bring to their dance routines make KAT-X must watch TV.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the Binz and Triple-D song Nguyên Team Đi Vào Hết. But after watching this dance version cover by LOL CREW, I have completely changed my mind. Now, hearing Nguyên Team Đi Vào Hết gets me hyped AF. It makes me want to go out with my team of "Nguyên's" and tear the club up. IMO, that's what a good hype song should do. Thanks to the badass choreography by LOL CREW here, they actually made me change my opinion of a song by making one simple dance video.
In my college days, I was in my fair share of choreographed dance performances for my Vietnamese Student Association. But after watching this performance of "Dancing Farmers" by Quang Đăng and LIFEDANCE Studio, I now just feel like they were all trash compared to this. If only YouTube was bigger back then, then we could have ripped off...ummm...I mean borrow dance moves (you know, like how Fortnite does it) from people who actually know what they are doing. It would have been so much easier. C'est la vie, I guess. Anyways, all this dancing makes me want to get back into dancing myself.

One of the biggest reasons people use self storage is to increase usable space at home. As people seek smaller apartments that sacrifice space for proximity, usable living space is at a premium. And while some areas allow year-round weather with relatively little need to store seasonal clothing, that isn't the case for everyone.
If you're living in bustling cities like Cincinnati, Chicago, or New York City that experience all four seasons, you know you have summer and winter clothes. And when they're not in season, these items take up valuable close space. The solution is simple: store seasonal clothing in a storage unit.
What to consider when storing clothes
The first thing you should know is finding the right storage unit size. As most seasonal clothing should only take up a few boxes, you should be fine with getting a 5×5 or 5×10 storage unit. These units are roughly the size of a walk-in closet, providing you just the right amount of space for storage.
Aside from the size of your storage unit, be mindful of proximity. A great way to know if you'll need a storage unit down the street versus a potentially cheaper one a few miles away is to determine how often you'll need your stuff. If you'll only be getting to your clothes when the seasons change, go for that cheaper unit with a longer drive.
The next thing to consider is security. If you're storing clothing that is costly, it's best to find a storage facility with strong security features such as electronic gate access or video surveillance. These will make it harder for any loss or damage to occur as your unit will be monitored and have another layer of security for would-be thieves to get through.
Lastly, if you're living in an area with extreme humidity in the summers, you may want to consider a climate-controlled storage unit for your clothing. High amounts of water in the air can promote mold or mildew growth in fabrics, which can irreversibly damage your clothes. The climate control feature in storage units maintains a constant temperature and humidity level, preventing such growth from occurring.
Tips to store seasonal clothing
Once you've found a storage unit that suits your needs, there are a few steps you can take to make your overall self storage experience easier. To get the most use and convenience out of your storage unit, we recommend the following:
- Clearly mark your boxes – Make sure your boxes are clearly labeled with their contents to easily find your items and make your trip to your self storage quick. This also comes in handy with the second tip.
- Stack your boxes along the perimeter – Do not lump all your boxes in the center of the unit, especially if you have many boxes. Instead, stack the boxes no higher than your shoulders around the walls of the unit. This prevents having to dig through your unit as you can see everything at once.
- Track your inventory – Lastly, it's always good to keep a list of what's in storage. Back in the day, you'd have to use a notepad. While paper and pen are still handy, a quick and easy photo or note on your phone will do the trick.
Start saving space today
You can start saving space in your apartment or home today by finding a storage unit to store seasonal clothing. Using the tips and considerations above, filter through our director at Storage.com to find the perfect storage facility for your situation.
Once you find the best fit, you can order directly online with us. And remember, you can always call in to one of our friendly storage representatives at any time, and they'll be happy to provide any further assistance. Thanks for using Storage.com for your self storage needs!

A recent news item in Indian Express shook me and made me write this post. Any person in flesh blood would find this news item horrifying. It is about a 9 th standard student attacking a 8th standard school mate with an air pistol in a Delhi school. My first reaction was – has the gun culture which we have heard so far only in Western countries seeped into our schools too? The callousness of parents is responsible for this. I just wonder what is the condition of the victim ? A case has been registered under the Juvenile Act. Now what would happen, the child gets a label for life and he would be ridden with guilt . But has he understood the full repercussions of this ? I doubt, as he is still a kid. Getting exposed to so much violence at young age through various electronic mediums have removed the sensitivity from the younger generation. May be the case may get swept under the carpet.
I am not going to delve into this particular case as such . I am speaking again about the importance of instilling Moral Values which I had written in my earlier post. When a child has an access to a weapon who is to be blamed? Is it not the parents? When such 'TOYS' are in the house is it not the parents duty to keep it out of reach or to be with the children when such things are used. We blame so many things on the exposure children get through television and cinema. Is it not parents' duty to instill values in children about peace and not to bully or harm others?.
Mental maturity in children comes through the exposure the child gets from his environment, be it his house, people related to him, his peers or his school which influences him/her a lot and helps in moulding the individual. Like Intelligent quotient, Emotional quotient tells how a person is able to handle various situations . Most of the children these days are highly emotional and they get frustrated and vent their anger easily on others. There is only one remedy for this. Spend quality time with children. Costly gifts are not substitute for this. Buy things and let them also understand when and how it should be used and if used , only under parents/elders supervision. Otherwise it will have repercussions on the child's' life .
No child can be labeled as bad . It is the environment that maketh a man. We need to school the mind of the child , guide him well so that they learn to respect others' sentiment and keep themselves from hurting others and ruining their own lives. In the above case reported in IE it is a great relief that the victim escaped with minor injuries , But if some thing untoward had happened, imagine the havoc it would have caused to both the families .
Parents are you listening? Love, Love and love your children because only you can do it, but don't be so blind that they get spoilt and become a problem for themselves and to others.
see you soon….

Over the years I have had to unlearn a lot of things I had learnt and relearn ways of making my life meaningful in this godless universe. From being a theist to becoming an atheist and morphing into a secular humanist, I gained a lot of self-reliance and self-confidence, but there is that lurking feeling of missing something that was once so satisfying.

I remember the moment of my epiphany, the moment I became an atheist. I was 20 years old. I had read the oscillating universe by George Gamow & the origin of species by Charles Darwin.
Then, suddenly, I realized we homo-sapiens are just a kind of animal like other animals on this spinning rock we call Earth. Whatever purpose we feel we have is one we devise for ourselves; it's not handed to us from on high. We are on our own; there is no deity holding a net under our feet as…

-- to ask God to do things – fulfill requests, grant favours, and generally use his supernatural powers to act on behalf of the petitioner. Internet prayer request pages overflow with theists asking others to pray for them so that they may be healed of sickness and injuries or delivered from financial troubles
However, as an application of simple logic shows, any prayer that asks God for anything is pointless. Is…Continue

Short Answer:
Yes. Many humans have a desire to accumulate things more than what they need or deserve.
Long Answer:
It can not be denied that some people are more 'Greedy' than others. People act in a greedy way for different reasons. Of course there are the megalomaniacs and narcissists who are completely self-obsessed, just as there are the completely selfless martyrs.

1. First, choose your parents. At least one of them should be religious. If you say it is impossible to choose parents, then wish for dame luck to favour you with religious parents.You should also love your parents and be obedient to them. It now becomes easy to believe in gods, because you love your parents and your parents told you that there are Gods.
2. Next, understand that believing in Gods in the absence of evidence is especially noble. What is the big deal in believing in…Continue

Sreeni: Prof. Kumar, What could be the mission of Atheism & Secular Humanism?
Me: Well, if Atheism is the first step taken by someone, Secular Humanism is the 1000 steps thereafter that one has to take. Atheism has no mission besides declaring one's non-belief in celestial beings. But Secular humanism is Atheism+ & does not believe that man's mission on earth is merely to love and glorify…

Sreeni: When someone declares "There are no gods", others regard this as an expletive of a highly depressed person. When people hear or say this, it is often associated with nothing going right in the life of the person proclaiming it, or it is heard being said after a tragedy occurs.
Me: Yes that happens but these four words do not need to be linked to a fatalistic or bleak outlook but instead can be reassuring, refreshing & empowering.

Even after seeing the death of my parents, relatives, acquaintances & friends over the years and realizing the inevitability of death from age if not from accidents, I have not been able to come to terms with death.
When visiting the bereaved people who have just lost some loved ones, I do not know what to say to them. Well-meaning people say these platitudes:
"He/She is in a better place"…

Sreeni: Prof. Kumar, one of my religious friends asked me about the real benefit of an Atheistic & Secular outlook. All I could think of and say was this: "The journey toward Atheism is a quest for the truth, truth which can be empirically tested and for which you can gather evidence, however distressing & frightening the truth might be. It could be the discovery that we humans are all alone, there are no souls, no afterlife & no god(s) to help us".
Me: That is correct.…Continue

All my working life I was an atheist in the closet simply because my bosses & colleagues were of the religious kind, intolerant of atheists and I didn't wish to rock the boat.
But fast-forward to 2017 CE.

I am comfortable with not having answers to everything. By temperament, I have a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. But many people suffer cognitive dissonance when they face uncertainties and probabilistic world models, and they feel the need to close that loop with a definitive answer, regardless of how intellectually indefensible it may be.
This low tolerance for uncertainty in many others probably has an evolutionary origin related to the fact that in the Paleolithic…Continue

Our Hindu scripture "Bhagavad Gita' says that "the soul is invisible, inconceivable, immutable, and unchangeable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body".
Since many millenia, many religious Hindus when hearing this on their deathbed have drawn a lot of solace from this.
The question of whether or not the soul exists has also been debated for centuries, and is one of the key elements in theistic belief.

It isn't unusual for an atheist to have been raised in a religious household and to have grown up living with the assumption that their religious tradition represented the One True Faith. However, after learning more about other religious traditions, this same person may adopt a much more critical attitude towards his own religion and even religion generally, eventually coming to reject not only the religion but also belief in the existence of any gods.

Estate Planning for Illegal Assets: The Final Chapter
Following up on my previous posts (here and here): New York Times, MoMA Gains Treasure That Met Also Coveted:
When Glenn D. Lowry arrived 17 years ago as director of the Museum of Modern Art, he and the curator Kirk Varnedoe sat down and wrote out a list of the 10 works they most wanted. Canyon, a landmark of 20th-century art by Robert Rauschenberg, was at the top, Mr. Lowry recalled.
Now that wish has come true. Canyon is to go on display on Wednesday at the Modern after being captured in a contest with its uptown sister, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it had resided on and off since 2005. Its owners agreed to donate the work as part of a $41 million settlement with the IRS.
That stuffed bird is ultimately the reason Canyon is being donated at all. The presence of a bald eagle — a bird protected by federal laws — means that the work cannot be legally sold or traded. So when the Sonnabend children, Nina Sundell and Antonio Homem, inherited Canyon, five years ago, their appraisers valued it at zero. The IRS, however, insisted this masterwork was worth $65 million. It demanded they pay estate taxes of $29.2 million plus another $11.7 million in penalties. As part of the settlement, the IRS dropped the tax assessment; in exchange, the family was required to donate Canyon to a museum where it would be publicly exhibited and claim no tax deduction, Mr. Lerner said.
(Hat Tip: Bob Kamman.)
Update: Wall Street Journal op-ed, The Illegal Eagle and a Baldly Grasping IRS, by Eric Gibson:
Only in the fantasy bazaar of the U.S. government's imagination can an item that is worthless carry a multimillion-dollar price tag. ...
There is a sense in which Ilena Sonnabend's heirs never really owned Canyon. It ceased to be their property from the moment they inherited it. First it was, as they say in the auction business, "burned" by one federal agency, rendered as unsalable as if it were a fake. Then another forced them to choose between giving it away at no benefit or holding on to it for a hefty fee. What the government takes away with one hand, it takes again with the other.
They should have simply destroyed it. It was stolen from them, pure and simple. Then calim it as a casualty loss. Hilarity ensues as the government claims it was worth $65 million and $0 at the same time. Heisenberg would be proud.

For what amount did the Museum insure the work?

The heirs should have donated the painting to the museum and flipped the bird to the IRS.

LOS ANGELES » Washington State played nearly perfect basketball for the first 19 1/2 minutes against Oregon, building a 20-point lead.
It's a good thing, because the Cougars needed almost every bit of that advantage by the time the game was over.
Former Iolani star Derrick Low scored 18 points, Taylor Rochestie added 16, and No. 21 Washington State held off the Ducks 75-70 last night in the quarterfinals of the Pac-10 tournament.
"That's one of the best starts we've had against a talented team," Cougars coach Tony Bennett said. "We needed that cushion at the end."
The Cougars face No. 11 Stanford in tonight's semifinals. The second-seeded Cardinal (25-6) advanced by beating seventh-seeded Arizona 75-64. Stanford swept WSU by a combined nine points during the regular season.
Kyle Weaver had 14 points and seven assists and Robbie Cowgill added 12 points and six rebounds for the third-seeded Cougars (24-7), who won for the seventh time in nine games following a three-game losing streak.
The Cougars led 42-22 before a basket by Malik Hairston and a 3-pointer by LeKendric Longmire in the final 30 seconds of the first half cut their lead to 15.
The Ducks, who never led, drew within four points on Tajuan Porter's fourth 3-pointer of the game with 1:25 left in the game. But Oregon got no closer as the Cougars were successful enough at the foul line down the stretch to earn the victory.
"I think the game was lost in the first half," Hairston said. "That's too good of a basketball team to get down that much."
Coach John Calipari and Memphis are trying to lock down a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three seasons
The Bruins (29-3) buried the Bears (16-15) under a barrage of 3-pointers to start the second half on its way to a victory in the Pac-10 tournament quarterfinals.
Darren Collison scored 19 points, Josh Shipp 18, and freshman Kevin Love had nine of his 11 in the second half after early foul trouble. UCLA had its best 3-point shooting game of the season, hitting 14-for-25.
Jonathan Wallace hit five 3s and had 19 of his 20 points in the first half for defending champion Georgetown.
C.J. Anderson added 15 points, Stanley Burrell had 13, Drew Lavender 12 and Derrick Brown 11 as top-seeded Xavier (27-5) beat Dayton (21-10) for the third time this season.
Jerryd Bayless led the seventh-seeded Wildcats (19-14) with 18 points. Jordan Hill added 16 and Chase Budinger 13.
Seventh-seeded Pittsburgh outscored Louisville 12-2 to start the overtime, and its 74-64 lead with 30.9 seconds left was their biggest of the game.
A.J. Price had 22 points for Connecticut.
Ogilvy scored a career-best 27 points and Foster added 26 after being named the top player on the coaches' All-SEC team earlier in the week, leading the Commodores (26-6) past the Tigers (14-16) in the opening round of the Southeastern Conference tournament.
BYU (26-6) was led by Lee Cummard, the conference's co-player of the year. He scored 18 points, while Sam Burgess had 13, Jonathan Tavernari and Chris Collinsworth each scored 12 and Trent Plaisted had 11.
Jonathan Gibson also scored 12 points and Jahmar Young had 11 as the Aggies (20-13) won for the ninth time in 10 games, delighting a raucous crowd at the Pan American Center. They'll meet Nevada in the semifinals.
Idaho (8-21) trailed by double digits most of the night, but trimmed the margin to 47-36 on Darin Nagle's basket with 14 minutes remaining. But NMSU went on an 18-8 tear, capped by Young's fast-break dunk with 7:46 to play.
The sophomore forward had 22 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots as the Wolf Pack (21-10) beat the Bulldogs.
Alex Blair scored 14 points, while Kevin Bell and Eddie Miller each had 11 for Fresno State (13-18).
Tyler Newbold added 19 points on 7-for-8 shooting from the field, Gary Wilkinson scored 14 and the top-seeded Aggies won their seventh straight to reach the tournament semifinals.
It didn't take long for Carroll to seize control. He made his first five field goals and scored 10 points as Utah State raced to a 19-8 lead through the first 5 1/2 minutes.

Dive Brief:
Work has started on the 71-unit Gateway North project in Lynn, MA, north of Boston, which is the first development to be funded under MassHousing's $100 million Workforce Housing Initiative, Multi-Housing News reported.
The project is being developed by Hub Holdings and the Lynn Housing Authority & Neighborhood Development. Designed by The Architectural Team, it is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2018.
- Once finished, the five-story development will contain 18 one-bedroom units, 46 two-bedrooms units and seven three-bedrooms units.
Dive Insight:
Gateway North intends to provide low- and middle-income households access to housing close to transportation hubs that can connect them with area job centers.
It forms part of the state's Workforce Housing Initiative unveiled in May to provide housing for individuals and households with incomes 61% and 120% of the area's median income. It also subsidizes the creation of 1,000 units of new workforce-housing across the state.
The initiative comes as many areas of the country face a severe shortage of affordable housing, with growing demand underpinned by rising populations and elevated home prices.
New York, for example, recently revived the city's 421-a tax break, which incentives developers to offer a percentage of a project's units to qualifying candidates at below-market rates. It forms part of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan to provide 200,000 new or existing affordable homes over the next decade.
Last month, Seattle City Council gave the green light to a 30-year, $29 million affordable housing bond for the city's 2017 budget following a $290 million affordable-housing levy passed by voters in August.

Mike Schindler
Elevate (2016)
Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (09/16)
I was excited for the opportunity to review "U.S. Veterans in the Workforce" by Mike Schindler. My interest in working with military veterans stemmed from having four generations of veterans in my family. One of my grandfathers served over forty years of active duty in the Navy. The other one was a retired Colonel in the Army. My father is a Naval Academy graduate. The list of family members goes on. My dedication to helping active duty military and veterans led me to be part of a team that brought a Military and Veteran Resource Center to my community college campus.
"U.S. Veterans in the Workforce" is a resource that is critical for military veterans and people who work with them. The author uses real life scenarios of military families to illustrate how difficult it can be for a dedicated veteran to transition over to the civilian world. He discusses the veterans needing assistance with seeking employment so that they know how to market themselves in a way that will appeal to the corporate world. Many veterans only have their military experience to rely upon when trying to seek employment in the civilian world. A lot of them do not know how to translate their special skills into civilian terminology so that the people hiring can understand the value of these applicants. Also, as the author points out, not all veterans are wounded warriors, which has started to become a stereotype for veterans who have served during wartime.
The veteran needs to be educated on how to job seek in a way that will emphasize skills and traits they might consider to be standard for all employees, but are not. This includes, having a strong work ethic, being on time, being a team player, having the dedication to make sure that the job gets done. Some work skills they received in the military might not be of use for the job in which they are applying, but these other skills will be of value in any place of employment.
"U.S. Veterans in the Workforce" discusses why it is critical for active military to have the right support systems in place to help ensure a smooth transition to veteran status. This not only involves assisting with accessing their benefits for education and employment, but also housing, medical care, and psychological issues. This would help prevent them from cycling through issues with poverty, suicidal thoughts, addiction, unemployment, and divorce. With 7% of our population being veterans, it is really important that they get the services they need to be able to transition quickly and easily.
The information contained in "U.S. Veterans in the Workforce" by Mike Schindler is incredibly valuable. It helped me to open my eyes as to why my father, a Naval engineer and Naval Academy graduate was a Mc Donald's manager after his service. It wasn't just economic issues that had my brother-in-law, a Lieutenant Search and Rescue pilot in the Navy, moving furniture when he retired from service until he could find the right job. My desire to educate myself to help others has given me a greater understanding of what was actually happening in my own life because of reading this book. This is highly recommended reading!

I'm Niall and I'm a senior consultant in EY Ireland's Advisory practice.
I've been a musician and performer since the age of 8. It's played such a huge role in my life in the last 20 years, shaping my experiences throughout childhood, the teenage years, college and in my professional career. I was fortunate to be awarded a Choral Scholarship at University College Dublin, where I was studying Commerce and, subsequently, an MA in Economics. The opportunities I was afforded as a Choral Scholar at UCD encouraged me to pursue music as a profession, which I did for 3 years post-college. I was lucky to tour the world as a performer, representing Ireland in a number of prestigious ensembles, including the World Youth Choir.
At EY, I'm encouraged to leverage my creative skills to solve our clients' complex problems, bringing a different perspective to the table. One of the reasons EY's Advisory Consulting Programme was my first preference for graduate training is the understanding and appreciation of a work/life balance. This flexibility and constant support allows me to continue singing and, in October 2017, I was delighted to help launch the EY Choir, bringing our People Engagement Agenda to life in a new way.
I'm Niall and my natural talent is performing.
