More new old stuff
Conan marker drawing from early 80s. My scanner is too small so it was pieced together unskillfully, hence the differences in size and contrast. The rough color comp. looks better in some ways, color, composition, but I always like roughs for some reason. Maybe it's the feeling and energy that is lost in the finish. Or maybe I'm talking out of my petard.

Drawing for hire
This is an example of drawing for commission. The client asked for a drawing of a character from a popular movie. He sent me web links of movie clips to use as reference. First I draw from the movie to get familiar with the character, just rough sketches copied right from the scenes using the magic of freeze frame.
Posted by Jimbo at 6:13 PM 10 comments:
After sketching the character more or less realistic, I cartoony up the face and try different angles. The first panel shows a slight exaggeration and panel two is a little more cartoony.

Final drawings
In the final drawings some more tweaks were made like turning the head slightly in panel 2, adding flowing hair to panel 1. The colors are right from the movie except for skin which as cartoonied up.

Background Drawing
How to impress executives and gussy up a storyboard panel. In panel 1 just the simple line drawing of whatever scene is needed. Panel 2 pencil shading is laid over line drawing. Softer leads are better for this and remember to start each stroke outside the picture area so the shading will look smoother. Panel 3 tissue is used to smear the shading using mostly circular motions to keep it smooth. Panel 4: Use an eraser - electric or regular - to create light areas. Electric is good for the more detailed parts. Panel 5: Start adding darker areas and textures. Dark shading is done last to avoid turning your masterpiece into an unholy mess.

Drawing Backgrounds -construction
Tracing over a drawing by Escher. Construction becomes more evident if a tracing is done over a photo or drawing and trying to find the lines that most describe the basic objects.

Drawing Backgrounds
To drawing convincing background scenery, perspective and construction are critical. Even with stylized and flat 2d design construction gives the scene a solid look and is evident in many old classic cartoons from Disney to Looney Tunes. Look for this quality next time you are watching a favorite cartoon.
These examples above are from a basic geometry textbook and has the technical terms for all the points and names for planes, etc. I enjoy learning about them but in storyboarding it is good to use shortcuts only after learning the fundamentals from a book or school.

Scary Andy
Andy Griffith in scary mode with Jimmy the Idiot. When he was mad Andy could get real scary sometimes usually with Barney or Opie. His best line: " Barney, when this over I'm gonna kill you." from Return of the Fun Girls episode. I may have watched too much TV as a kid but sometimes it was worthwhile.

Then practice in your room alone for several decades and viola! Instant success. No charge but if you want to send money I'll have a pay pal soon.

A broken heart and shattered dreams...
Austin Connelly had it all: loving family, a growing and profitable business, the perfect woman warming his bed at night...
When she completely disappears from his life, well kept secrets begin to emerge. He finds out his best friend's girlfriend is also his half-sister, and he believes someone is sabotaging his company.
Austin thought he and Nikki had something special, but when she returns suddenly announcing her pregnancy, he can't control his hurt and anger, but the pull and attraction become too much for him to ignore and he finds himself in her arms once again. He's thrust back into the emotions he's held onto since Nikki left him.
Nikki Deveraux never had it easy growing up. As a part of a wealthy family, her parents cared more about their bank account and affairs than they did about their only daughter.
Watching their marriage crumble before her very eyes she swore that she'll do whatever she can to protect herself from succumbing to that kind of pain. With no desire to find "the one", Nikki finds herself torn between love and fear when she discovers herself pregnant.
Taking a chance on her heart, Nikki works to rebuild her relationship with Austin after running away scared and when she uncovers someone stealing money from his company she fears he'll give up on his dream of happiness yet again.
Will he take a chance on her? Will he let her back into his heart? Or will the ghosts of his past shred him further?
Here Is An Excerpt From Coming Together:
Their dinner ends not long after, and having won the argument, Austin pays the bill. With his hand on the small of her back, he ushers her out of the diner and onto the busy sidewalk. Carson townspeople move back and forth across the walkway, still busy hanging stars and twinkling lights in preparation for their New Year's bash; a party that brings people into town from forty counties over.
Nikki stares in quiet amazement as the Fitzgerald sisters work to hang the twelve foot star in the middle of Main Street, dangling a line between the town's parallel buildings. Luckily for them, Austin and a few of the other local workers rush over to help the aging fabric store owners.
Once the star is placed to their liking, Austin returns to where Nikki is waiting against the wall of Angie's diner. As he approaches, Nikki feels the first trickle of wetness falling on her cheek. Only then does she notice that the light snowfall seems to be increasing in heaviness as it continues.
Coming to stand beside her, Austin turns his attention in her direction.
"Are you ready to go? I'm afraid that the snow is forecasted to be a bit heavy tonight."
"Yes, sure."
Taking her by her elbow, the heat of his hand filtering through the thickness of her coat, Austin guides her to his large work truck. Parked parallel alongside the street, as she steps off the sidewalk to enter the vehicle, her foot slips on the slick precipitation. Instead of falling face first into the side of the truck as she was anticipating with a wince, Nikki finds herself twisted around and resting in Austin's overly muscled arms.
"Are you ok?" he asks, cradling her close to his body, but in the moment, Nikki is speechless.
Unable to form any words, she simply nods her head. Trapped in a heated exchange with this man she's missed for so very long now, Nikki feels herself leaning closer into his body, bringing her lips an inch from his, but as if struck by terror, Austin straightens abruptly and steps away from their embrace. Instead of kissing her as she had hoped, he opens the truck door and lifts her by her hips, placing her into his truck. He angrily slams the door closed, shaking the truck and Nikki as she sits inside, stunned.
His eyes spew hatred as he climbs into the driver's seat and Nikki turns to gaze out the window, shrinking into herself. Her hands rest protectively on her stomach as she rests against the door, as far from Austin as she can possibly be. The warmth of her breath caresses the cold glass, causing the window to fog with each exhalation of air.
"Nikki…" Austin pleads, attempting to garner her attention.
She turns to study him.
Running his fingers through his hair exasperatedly, he simply says, "I can't do it again."
"Do what?" she whispers in return.
"Fall in love with you. I just can't do it, Nikki. It would kill me this time."

Here Is My Review Of Coming Together:
When it comes to love Nikki Deveraux is doubtful that it is possible to withstand the test of time and more than hesitant to even try to find it, she has witnessed what it is like when love fails and she has no intentions of falling prey to it... but she didn't account on meeting a man quite like Austin Connelly. The moment they meet things get hot and heavy, and feelings start to find their way in, but he made it clear that he wasn't looking for love, so Nikki tried really hard to guard her heart and keep things between them light. But then she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, and knowing Austin's feelings about a family she decides the best thing for her to do is leave town, and deal with things on her own...without so much as a goodbye!
Austin Connelly thought he had found love once, and was ready to venture down the aisle, but before he could even ask for her hand in marriage, she bailed on him and it crushed him. So, from that point on he decided to avoid love at all costs, he knew there was no way he could endure a heartbreaking loss a second time, so all of his entanglements with woman have been one night stands... but then he meets Nikki, and sticking to one night becomes impossible. They instantly connect and he thinks things are moving in the right direction for them, and then she just up and disappears on him, and once again he is left picking up the pieces of his broken heart. But now Nikki has returned to town, with a bit of unexpected news, and she wants a second chance...question is can his heart handle round two?
This story is one of those stories that has the power to completely wreck you, and then put you back together again... it was freaking amazing!! I went from moments of being completely distraught and broken-hearted, to moments of feeling overwhelming joy...it was one hell of a roller coaster ride!! Being familiar with these two from the first installment, I had my suspicions about how things would play out for them, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with how things turned out. Their story had a bit of mystery mixed in that kept me captivated, and had me on the edge of my seat bracing for the worst, and hoping they would be able to withstand it. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, it was a perfectly blended second chance romance story that left me with a happy heart...and a new book boyfriend to dream about to boot!! Highly recommend!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.

With almost no trail-running experience and not knowing anyone in the race, she came to Iceland by herself just to have an adventure and "to see if I could." She had a great attitude as well.

Seven out of eight people in our tent finished. Karley from Australia had to withdraw during stage four because her knees, which had been causing her much pain, locked up entirely. It took her three hours to travel five kilometers, and she couldn't continue beyond the last checkpoint of that stage. Karley also had limited distance trail-running experience but was an experienced mountaineer/climber/trekker.

The Raj's and the Vikings all posted strong finishes, and I think all four of them finished ahead of me in the final 10K stage.

There is no doubt gender has been a hot topic of discussion—in the media, politics, and education—which has inevitably infiltrated everyday conversations. But what actually is gender? And what are the facets that compose the intricate identities of the spectrum?
Jean Malpas, a psychotherapist, explores these questions in his work with transgender kids and their families. Jean is the director of the Gender Family Project at the Ackerman Institute.
Jean's work was featured in a recent article in National Geographic: How Science is Helping Us Understand Gender. He'll also be interviewed by Katie Couric on the special Gender Revolution: A Journey with Katie Couric, Monday, Feb. 6 on the National Geographic channel.
Jean will be one of the speakers at TEDxNavesink IDENTITY on May 20 at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park. Jean will discuss how transgender children are pushing the gender revolution to its tipping point.
Jean aims to open up the fragile binary so kids feel welcome discussing how they feel comfortable in their bodies. The Gender Family Project also provides mental health services for young people who identify on the vast gender spectrum.
To hear Jean discuss this pertinent issue of gender, get your tickets to TEDxNavesink IDENTITY. For a limited time, use the promo code TEDXLUV17 for $14 off tickets.

The realties of family values in prison nation
Yesterday I received via e-mail this new about a notable new report from the folks atThe Sentencing Project:
A new analysis by The Sentencing Project highlights the growth in the number of incarcerated parents and their children since 1991. Incarcerated Parents and Their Children: Trends, 1991-2007 reviews data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics and documents the growing impact of incarceration on children and families.
As of 2007, 1.7 million children had a parent in prison, an 82% increase from the figure of 936,000 in 1991. The racial/ethnic variation among this group is quite broad: 1 in 15 African-American children has a parent in prison, as does 1 in 42 Latino children and 1 in 111 white children.
Due to the distance from home in which many parents are incarcerated — 62% of parents in state prisons are more than 100 miles from home — visits from children are declining over time. In 2004, more than half of parents in state prisons and nearly half in federal prisons had never had a visit from their children.
To address the issues presented by these developments, The Sentencing Project recommends policy responses [of various sorts in this report].

I've had the child protective services worker threaten the parent at liberty that she will bring a termination-of-parental-rights case against the parent who's free, if (s)he takes the child(ren) to visit the inacarcerated parent while (s)he's still in the local county jail, let alone to visit later at the far-away prison.

When I was sentenced in May 2000, my daughter, Kathleen, was 7 months old. Her Mother sent me a letter in jail the week after I was sentenced to 97 months in Federal prison for white-collar crimes,stating that she was divorcing me and that she would not permit Kathleen to visit with me in prison. At the time our divorce became final in May 2001, the Judge stated that because I was held in Virginia, more than 900 miles from Atlanta, and Kathleen was too you to travel interstate for visitation, she would not grant any visitation at that time. During my incarceration, my ex-wife received cards from me and my Mother for Kathleen's birthday and various holidays. None of the checks that my mother enclosed with her cards has ever been cashed. We believe that my ex-wife has never given any of the cards to Kathleen, but has simply thrown them into the trash unopened, not even realizing that there was money inside. I have paid my ex-wife more than $27,000 of child support during and after my incarceration, but she still refuses to voluntarily permit me to see my daughter. I do not have the money to litigate visitation in Atlanta now, and I live in Kentucky. Even if I obtain visitation, I don't know how I would financially afford to commute every other weekend to Atlanta to exercise my visitation. Kathleen is now 9 1/2 years old, and doesn't even know who I am. Thousands of state and Fedderal prison inmates are in the same predicament. This is morally wrong and should be remedied within the judicial system.

i have a loved one in prison right now. we have four children together. while he is still in reception he is only alowed to have three visiters at a time which makes it impossible for him to see all four of his children. we live over 100 miles away form the prison that he is in. we cant afford to go see him every weekend. iam not even sure if he will be able to see our children until he comes home. before placing inmates in prison they should take into consideration parents that are raising there children and place those inmates in a prison that is close to their family. i know that if my husband was closer he would be able to see our children. but unstead he is now missing over a year out of our childrens lives.
Posted by: chrissy | Feb 10, 2009 7:11:10 PM
Greg if you check with your state web page on child support and visitation the State maybe able to help you. When my daughter was incarcerated, we lived 15 miles from the father, and it was a chore to come and get his son on the weekends, for one night. When she came home we moved across the state and now even though she has a lawyer, she has to travel half way to meet him twice a month. It sucks, but he does have rights, although he is not paying his full child support and the Child Enforcement says that he is paying something so they don't want to scare him, what the hell does that mean. Check with your state, you do have rights unless you gave up your parental rights.
Posted by: OliveRose | Feb 11, 2009 8:36:39 AM
For the person who's loved on is in prison, you need to request a special visit so all your children can visit or try and work with the Warden, (I know that is funny) but some will work with you for Special Visits, Classification is who you should call or get your loved one to get you the request. I am not sure what state you are in, but this is how it works in Florida.
Posted by: OliveRose | Feb 11, 2009 8:39:14 AM
There's a flipside to the coin. Should an innocent parent be forced to cart the children to see a criminal in prison. That's a huge burden to impose on a person, and there's a real legal question as to whether the government has the right to force people to travel long distances and subject themselves to the indignity of setting foot in prison to facilitate a visitation.

- "Lord D'Wopp's a real prince too. A great hunter of course, even by Whiphid standards."
"He must be looking forward to trying his skill here on Tatooine."
"He's already been scouting the terrains out of the spaceport."
- ―Thwim and Doikk Na'ts
Lord D'Wopp was a male Whiphid bounty hunter who married Lady Valarian, a crime boss and Jabba the Hutt's main competitor on the planet Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. D'Wopp truly loved to hunt, which ultimately led him to his demise. When he accepted a bounty offer for the smuggler Han Solo from Jabba during their wedding reception, Valarian killed him with her bare, clawed hands. His body was returned to his homeworld of Toola, missing more than a few pieces. Only Valarian and her cook knew where the rest went.
- "My mate and I shall celebrate my glorious return. She is Whiphid. She will understand."
- ―D'Wopp, seconds before trying to leave his wedding reception
A male Whiphid, D'Wopp was born on Toola,[1] an ice planet[4] located within the Outer Rim Territories.[5] He later joined the bounty hunting profession, which was a somewhat quotidian occupation on his homeworld, and he became a hunter of great repute[1] as well as a lord.[6]
In 0 BBY,[2] the Tatooinian crime boss Lady Valarian—a Whiphid herself—chose to procure a mate from her homeworld, and she picked D'Wopp. Valarian had him travel to the city of Mos Eisley, her base of operations on the planet Tatooine.[1] As soon as he arrived in Mos Eisley, D'Wopp started scouting the surroundings of the spaceport looking for hunting grounds.[6] Eventually, the wedding ceremony occurred as planned, and everything seemed to go well for the Whiphid hunter, who had found a wealthy and powerful mate[1] who was considered a great beauty by other Whiphids. The couple planned to spend their honeymoon hunting ferocious Krayt dragons, even though it required crossing the territory of Jabba Desilijic Tiure, Valarian's arch-rival on Tatooine.[6]
After the ceremony, the newlyweds went to Valarian's Lucky Despot casino, where a wedding reception was held. The event was attended by many invited guests, and the music was supplied by the famous Bith band Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. D'Wopp and Valarian made a grand entrance, with their arms lashed together with a garland of imported greenery. They danced their way to the stage through the assembled guests. When Valarian was asked to check on the kitchen employees, the Whiphid hunter was left alone for a moment.[6] Taking advantage of the Lady's absence, a Duros employee of Jabba approached D'Wopp and told him of the bounty his master had put on the Corellian smuggler Han Solo's head. At first, the Whiphid hunter told the Duros he did not need money, but he experienced a change of heart when he was told Solo was a fierce bait. Eager to prove his worth, D'Wopp decided to leave the reception immediately and investigate Solo's whereabouts. The hunter thought his new wife, a fierce and proud Whiphid like himself, would understand his sudden disappearance.[1]
However, the hunter had overestimated the indulgence of his new mate, Valarian. While D'Wopp was preparing to vacate the premises, the Whiphid crime lady reappeared out of the crowd and started insulting him. D'Wopp replied in the same tone, and soon husband and wife started attacking each other in front of everyone and in the middle of the dance floor.[6] Quickly, the brawl spread among the guests, with Jabba's henchmen cheerleading.[1] In the midst of the altercation, Lady Valarian ended up killing her husband with her clawed hands. She was now without a man, and the Lucky Despot had been wrecked. A few days later, D'Wopp's body was sent back to Toola in a box, with several parts of his body missing—only the widow and her cook knew what had happened to them.[7]
Personality and traitsEdit
- "Gooood hunting, Whiphid?"
"Explain that remark, Duro, or I shall serve your roasted ribs to my lady for breakfast."
- ―A Duro thug and D'Wopp
Standing at a height of over 2.5 meters,[3] D'Wopp was a towering Whiphid with a lumpy head and a coat of pale yellow fur. He was known for his ferocity,[1] lending credence to the Whiphid reputation for fierceness.[8] He was also extremely proud of his well-above average hunting skills, and he would not miss a single opportunity to demonstrate his worth by capturing a "fierce bait."[1] When Jabba's Duros thug approached him about working, D'Wopp was already eager to "splash" a new victim.[6]
Although he ultimately abandoned her for hunting on the very day of the wedding reception, Lord D'Wopp was strongly attracted to Valarian—at least on a physical level. The hunter was also quick to take offence when the Duros compared his new bride to a big catch.[6]
Behind the scenesEdit
Lady Valarian's late husband first appeared in August 1995 in "We Don't Do Weddings: The Band's Tale," a short story authored by Kathy Tyers for the anthology Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina.[1] He was also mentioned in "Let Us Prey: The Whiphid's Tale," another short story published in January 1996. In that story, the late hunter was referred to as Valarian's "first husband," suggesting she may have remarried later.[9]
There is a slight discrepancy in the sources regarding D'Wopp's height. In "The Band's Tale," both D'Wopp and Valarian were described as "two gargantuan Whiphids—two and a half meters of tusk and claw and pale yellow fur."[1] In the 2012 reference book The Essential Reader's Companion, D'Wopp was depicted as visibly taller than his bride,[10] whose height was established as 2.5 meters in The Essential Guide to Characters.[7] However, since the Bith Doikk Na'ts was the in-universe narrator of "The Band's Tale," his estimate of the Whiphids' respective heights may have been inaccurate.[1]
In the audio dramatization of "The Band's Tale," D'Wopp was voiced by voice actor/musician Danny Louis of the band Gov't Mule.[11] His name was pronounced /ˈdu.ˌwɑp/,[6] which is a homophone of doo-wop—a style of rhythm and blues vocalizing developed in the United States in the 1950s.[12]

As part of our upcoming celebration of Temkin Group's 5th year anniversary, I took a look at the readership levels on the Customer Experience Matters® blog over the previous five years. Here the five most popular posts:
- Free eBook: The 6 Laws Of Customer Experience (July 2008). Although this eBook was published more than five years ago, it is the most popular content over the previous five years. This eBook has been translated into many languages and downloaded by over 100,000 people across multiple sites. I highly recommend this eBook as a basic building block for understanding customer experience. We've even created a whiteboard video to make the content accessible to anyone who has a few minutes to spare.

That's why we've created a workshop to help people master this capability. If you are interested in customer journey mapping, then you definitely need to read this post: Five Questions That Drive Customer Journey Thinking.
- Don't Confuse Customer Service With Customer Experience (February 2009). This is another post that predates Temkin Group, but remains very popular because people often confuse customer experience with customer service. Customer service is one set of interactions that are a component of customer experience. We do a lot of work in customer service, since it is often a key moment of truth for many customer journeys. Here's a link to other content we've written about customer service.

Halima Ahmed's experiences say it all about life in the disputed land of South Kordofan, at the border of Sudan and newly declared South Sudan.
The 18-year-old left her village there last fall on the urging of her family, who wanted her to finish her education and escape the death-dealing bombs of the Sudanese military. Alone, she made the 25-kilometre trek to the Yida refugee settlement, across the border in South Sudan's Unity state.
What she found there was fear and deprivation, in a makeshift camp where predatory young men attacked women at will, and food was as scarce as school books. This March, homesickness drove her back north across the border to her village, where her younger brother was dead, and she saw her three-year-old sister's neck slashed by shrapnel from a Sudanese bomb.
"She's now back in Yida," said Alex Neve, who heads Amnesty International Canada. "After the horrors she has been through, she is trying to hang onto hope that her family will be following her. But many people don't make it to the camp."
On Thursday, Amnesty published a damning report on conditions in the strife-torn border land, documenting the fate of some 500,000 malnourished people who have fled the violence that followed the breakup of Sudan and its former southern region, an independent country since last July.
"The Security Council must fulfil its duty to protect civilians in Sudan and take immediate action to halt the military's indiscriminate airstrikes," it said, adding that aid organizations must be granted urgent access to the conflict-affected areas.
It also urged that an arms embargo be extended from the troubled Darfur region to all of Sudan, to stop the flow of weapons that are fuelling the conflict.
Sudan has attacked its oil-rich, southern states — South Kordofan and Blue Nile — with bombing raids aimed at subduing rebels in the economically crucial region, where fighting has spread between Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North rebel group, which Khartoum says is supported by its southern neighbour.
South Kordofan contains most of the north's remaining oilfields. The territories are also inhabited by black African tribes, such as the Dinka and Nuba, who are not Muslim, unlike much of Sudan's north. They sided with South Sudan in a long war between the two countries, and their status was still contentious after a peace deal was made.
Amnesty researchers visited eight refugee camps in South Sudan this spring, and recorded stories of hunger, sexual abuse and forced recruitment of young men into the SPLM-N.
Neve, who travelled to the remote Yida refugee settlement in April, said that tens of thousands of civilians are still fleeing to this no man's land. Numbers have doubled from 18,000 to more than 30,000 in less than three months. The Sudanese government's refusal to allow humanitarian aid, plus the area's isolation and rainy-season floods, have made the refugees feel forgotten.
The UN believes the settlement is too close to the border for safety, and has established a 9,000-person camp further inside South Sudan. But, Neve said, the refugees refuse to move, saying the low-lying area will become a "swamp" as the rainy season progresses, and that they want to remain close to their homes in order to plant crops — risking violence, malnutrition and disease.
"What was striking was how unlike a refugee camp Yida was," Neve said. "There were no orderly rows of tents or blue sheeting. It had the feel of a hastily assembled, ragtag village," where people lined up for eight to 10 hours for water in 45 C temperatures, and new arrivals had no shelter and waited three weeks or more for regular food.
Neve said he has had productive talks about the refugees' plight at the UN and in Washington.

"There is a real, palpable sense of concern and a desire to look for options to move ahead," he said.
However, UN action to protect the refugees would be problematic because Russia and China are reluctant to call their ally Sudan to account.

Komodo Diving
Komodo Diving
Komodo National park is blessed with breathtaking landscape, wildlife and underwater biodiversity.
The underwater of Komodo National Park is a world-class dive spot, one of the most diverse and richest marine biodiversity in the world. More than 1,000 species of tropical fish, 260 species of coral, and rare marine mammals such as the dugong, various species of sharks and rays, including manta rays live within Komodo National Park.
The underwater topography as varied as its marine life. From gentle slopes to walls, channels, flat bottoms, pinnacles, caves, swim-through and home to hard and soft corals.
The dive sites are geologically divided into north and south side, both sides offer a totally different marine environments.
On the north, water is warmer and great visibility affected by water that flow from Flores sea and Pacific ocean. You will encounter nudibranchs, pygmy seahorses, rare invertebrates, pipefish, and tiny frogfish. Hard coral reefs are extensive and largely in pristine condition.
The south side of the park, on the other hand, you will experience cooler waters affected by Indian Ocean. The corals tend to be more vibrant and colorful, lots of critters, rocky canyons and pinnacles are heavily encrusted with marine invertebrate life.
You can dive in Komodo all year round. But the best diving condition are during April to October on all sites. The best diving condition on the northern sites is from April to October while December to March is for Southern sites as it's the prime time to see Manta Rays – though they are seen all year round-. However, December – March is rainy season. You will experience strong wind and the sea is choppy.
Strong current can be experienced on all sites. But the fast moving waters brings huge variety of fishes and clear visibility. The current on the north tend to be more powerful. Beginner is not advisable to dive here.
Regardless of the strong current there are some sites safe to dive for beginner. Which site to dive will depend on your experience level.
Sea condition could change in the matter of minutes.
These are safety tips if strong currents occur:
Good physical condition
This is very important. Before you sign up for a diving trip make sure you are physically and mentally fit, well rested and well hydrated several days before dive.
Pre-dive briefings
No matter you are an experienced diver or newbie, pay a good attention at the detailed pre-dive briefings. The dive guide will explain the dive site condition, dive plan, entry and exit procedure.
Pre-dive safety check
Before every dive, equipment and buddy check will be done. At some dive sites, where the current is stronger, the dive guide will assist you to hook yourself to a rock.
Underwater behavior
Stay close to your dive guide during dive. There might be upward and downward currents. Your guide will give you hand signal what to do, follow the instruction.

I Love My Church
November 30, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments
It's no secret that I Love My Church! In fact, I say it a lot on Sundays because I want the people in attendance to know how honored I am to pastor New Church.
But when I decided to take last Sunday off from preaching, I wanted people to hear it from someone else, so I asked a young leader in our church, who I also consider to be a good friend, Josh Black, to preach a message entitled, "I Love My Church."
I asked him to talk about the mission of New Church, and he did a great job! If you would like to listen to and/or download the message from last Sunday, Click Here.

If you live in a family of average size, you know the bathroom can get pretty crowded. Now you may soon have to make room for your robot, too.
Scientists working out of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory have invented a robot that powers itself by collecting its own food and water, digests it, then poops out the waste, according to Scientific American. It may sound unconventional, but scientists hope that a new generation of these "ecobots" will not only be self-sustaining, but may even help recycle and reuse food waste.
"Robots that eat biological fuels could find enough fuel almost anywhere," said John Greenman, a microbiologist at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. "There is organic matter anywhere on Earth — leaves and soil in the forest, or even human waste such as urine and feces."
Yes, that's right. Robots fueled by organic matter will not only require their own toilet: they may even someday be a toilet, collecting human feces for power. It's certainly an unexpected twist on the old idea of inventing robot maids.
The first prototype invented by the Bristol Lab, Ecobot, was equipped with a microbial fuel cell that was powered by E. coli bacteria that fed on refined sugar. The second prototype, Ecobot-II, harnessed sludge microbes to break down dead flies, prawn shells and rotten apples. Soon, though, scientists recognized they had a problem: waste. These early prototypes had no way of dumping their leftover waste, eventually becoming "poisoned" by their own filth. This concern is what led to the current model, Ecobot-III.
"EcoBot-III is a robot that collects its own food and water from the environment," said Ioannis Ieropoulos, a roboticist at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory. "It performs the task we design it to do, and at the end of the day, it gets rid of its own waste. It literally craps into its own 'litter' tray."
The research has garnered funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and NASA is already knocking on the door with particular interest in the idea of a robot powered by human feces. Space robots powered in this way could make ideal companions for astronauts on long space flights, such as a trip to Mars.
Perhaps the biggest benefactor of the new Ecobots, though, will be the family dog, who usually gets blamed when there's an errant odor in the house. Now, perhaps, we can blame the robot instead.

Developed in May 2016, the user interface greatly enhances the scope of any #SPG.
- The Prototype
- Trump Bait
- Algernon Mountweazel
The primary role of the interface is to allow any #SPG owner to dynamically shape the output of their #SPG, bypassing any further necessity to rewrite the basic code to fit their needs.
The functionality of this interface can be broken into three sections:
1. Twitter Content
The interface allows an #SPG's owner to modify the hashtags, comments and signatures of their tweets.
2. RSS Behaviour
The interface allows three levels of control for each social media platform integrated into their #SPG. Posts can be allowed / forbidden for each platform, depending on the following:
The first level of control relates directly to the name of the original rss feed entering into the #SPG's system. This allows considerable influence over the overall look of your different social platforms. For example, all rss feeds relating to a particular subject can be accumulated into a single named feed, and the output of that feed can be directed to a single platform.
The second level of control relates to the original source URL of the post – thereby allowing control over every potential publisher to your #SPG. For example, if one particular publisher always provides content that fails to be correctly formatted on the WordPress platform, that publisher's content can be blocked from posting on WordPress.
The final level of control involves the targeting specific content of any post by keywords. Thus, for example, any posts containing the word "cubism" can be posted to Facebook and Pinterest, but not to Twitter.
The possibilities are endless.
NB: As well as having simple on/off options within these three levels of control or rss behaviour, the user can also control what proportion of their content on Twitter is shown either as text or as images.
3. Personal Input
The final layer of control offered by the interface relates directly to an #SPG's owner's own input into their different social media platforms. The system can be controlled so that, for example, anything you "like" on pinterest is only posted to twitter and your tumblr account, while anything you post on tumbr is posted to blogger and twitter, but no where else.
The following #SPG's are currently being managed by the interface.

Self-financing Democratic congressional candidate Randy Perkins is spending big as the Aug. 30 primary approaches.
Perkins spent $1.4 million from July 1 to Aug. 10, including nearly $1 million on TV ads, according to a Federal Election Commission report filed Thursday. Perkins' main rival in the Palm Beach-Treasure Coast District 18 primary, attorney Jonathan Chane, spent $190,038 over the same period.
Perkins' spending nearly equals the $1.6 million spent by all six GOP candidates in District 18 between July 1 and Aug. 10.
He has spent about $3 million overall on his candidacy since entering the race last November. Chane's overall expenditures total $531,061. A third Democrat, John (Juan) Xuna, is running a low-budget campaign and the FEC did not have a report of his spending from July 1 to Aug. 10.
Perkins reported that he had given or loaned more than $3 million of his personal fortune to his campaign through Aug. 10. He put in another $750,000 last week, according to a separate FEC report.

In 2013, the Department of Theatre and the Clarence Brown Theatre introduced a program in new play development.
In the fall of 2013, we commissioned Rob Caisley to write a new play specifically conceived for and with our MFA acting class of 2016. Mr. Caisley worked with the actors for an intensive week in 2013 and 2014, conceiving and developing the play. Finally, in spring of 2016, we fully produced The Open Hand, directed by Artistic Director Calvin Maclean. The Open Hand played to sold out audiences and received rave reviews.
Based on the training success of this process, we began the same three year cycle with the new first year MFA class of 2018. We commissioned Christopher Pena to develop a new play based in workshops with the actors in 2016 and 2017, for production in 2018. Most Recently, Anthony Clarvoe was commissioned to write People Where They Are, which followed the same timeline and was produced late in 2019.
UTK MFA designers also collaborate in the development process and fully design these new works.
This program has received enthusiastic support from our faculty, our actors, and the CBT community, including offers of funding to foster and sustain it. It offers our actors and designers a vital experience in collaboration and the creation of new work.

Today's post is an interview with Tehani Wessely. I have known Tehani since she was with the Andromeda Spaceways publishing co-operative, of which she was a founding member (I came along in the next wave). Whatever she says below about it being an apprenticeship, it was a highly impressive apprenticeship. It is true that she got her practice in publishing there. Tehani, like Miffy Farquharson, whom I interviewed earlier on this blog, is also a judge in a number of book and writing awards. Stuff the comic book superheroes, Tehani Wessely is Superwoman and a nice person on top of it all. Welcome to the Great Raven, Tehani!
SB:You're a teacher-librarian, a mother, a publisher, an editor, a blogger, a reviewer, a podcaster, a judge for three major awards (the Aurealis, the WA Premier's and the Children's Book Council, have I missed anything?) - how do you manage to fit it all in?
TW: That's a very good question! I guess a lot of what I do involves reading, which I have always devoted a lot of time to (and I do read very fast – not always a good thing!) so it's just a normal part of my routine. Luckily, a lot of judging reading overlaps, although the deliberations are always very different! I don't watch much free-to-air television, or do a lot of outside the internet socialising, and if I'm being honest, I REALLY don't get enough exercise, so I guess that's where the time comes from! J
SB: How did you get the judging gigs you have had?
TW: The first time I judged was for the Aurealis Awards. I put my hand up a few years ago when Fantastic Queensland was running the Awards and called for judges, and was made convenor of the Fantasy Novel panel. It's just grown from there – I'm now the judging co-ordinator for the AAs, and I think my other judging opportunities owe a lot to that experience as well. The first year I did WA Premier's it was again just a simple matter of applying (and I think they were desperate – I shortlisted two categories on my own!) – I'm about to finish my last year for that, because you can only do three years in a row then have a couple of years break. CBCA was fantastic, and I'm only sad I couldn't do my two year rotation (the judges are state-based and I moved interstate. I didn't think it was very fair to the WA members not to have their judge accessible to them!).
SB: How many entries did you receive for the Children's Book Council Awards and how long did it take to read and comment on them?
TW: I think we received over 400 entries across four categories. CBCA is great because from about May through to the following March, you receive a box of books every three weeks to read and comment on. The deadlines are nice and firm, and it keeps you on track, so although you're reading a heck of a lot of books (many of which are picture books or quite short chapter books, which makes it easier!), it's spaced out over the year.
SB: What criteria did you use in judging the CBCA awards (and any other you might like to comment on)?
TW: There are quite extensive criteria for the CBCA awards, which are available on the CBCA website - http://cbca.org.au/userfiles/file/Downloads/Nat%20Site/2011/awards%20criteria.pdf Naturally, literary quality is an important factor in all awards, but so is age appropriateness and many other elements. What's interesting about judging for different awards is seeing the different focuses, and also how discussions differ in different types of panels – CBCA is eight people, face to face in an intensive four day judging conference in which EVERY ENTRY is looked at again; WA Premier's is two people for initial shortlisting, then four/five for final decision (face-to-face meeting in an afternoon); Aurealis Awards is completely online, with three to four panelists. You can judge exactly the same books and get very different results – fascinating!
SB: What did you do with all those books you received?
TW: Most I donate to my local school/s – my own school library does very well out of me, as do my kids' school. I give some to friends, and keep special ones for myself. I try to be ruthless about what I keep though – we've moved around a lot and boxes of books are HEAVY.
SB: I'm told that sometimes the difference between a Notable Book in the CBCA awards and a shortlisted one can be one vote - did that happen this year?
TW: Each book is shown to the judging team at the conference – if it receives at least half the team's vote, it's put forward for discussion to be Notable. The process is very straightforward – a certain number of votes are required for a book to get this honour, and then each of the Notable books is discussed and voted on to work to a shortlist. Then we vote again for Winner and Honour books. Each stage has clearly delineated rules about number of votes needed for a book to make it through. And yes, there were books this happened to – I imagine there would be every year!
SB: Would you do any/all of these judging jobs again?
TW: In an instant! I really enjoy the process, and the discussions you can have with other judges – I've never been in a book club, but I daresay I get the same sort of thing from judging!
SB: Tell us about Fablecroft Publishing, the company you founded.
TW: I started FableCroft after about eight years working in collaborative groups in Australian small press. Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine was really a kind of apprenticeship for me, and an experience I'll always treasure for the friendships I made and the lessons I learned. But I eventually decided I really would like to do some projects on my own, and thus FableCroft was born. It's been ticking along nicely since the first book, Worlds Next Door, came out in 2010. I did two books that year, just one in 2011 (I also helped run a major science fiction convention that year, which ate a lot of time!), and two already in 2012.
The amount of work required for the press comes in fits and spurts, depending on where in the publication schedule I'm at – I'm always looking for marketing opportunities, and do regular newsletters with Twelfth Planet Press, as well as mailouts to retail outlets, update the press's social networks and am usually working on one project or another at various points of the publication process! Slushreading is perhaps one of the biggest time factors – for Epilogue, which was open internationally, I received almost 200 submissions, which translated to over 900,000 words of fiction. In the first two weeks of the submissions call for the new anthology, One Small Step (closes September 30), I've had a dozen stories submitted – it will be interesting to see what the final numbers are like for this book, as it's open to Australian authors only.
I love working on FableCroft – it lets me be creative, and support our local authors. As with Andromeda Spaceways, I really enjoy seeing new(ish) authors I published early in their careers go on to wonderful success, and is one of the reasons I formed the publishing house. It's also really great when stories I've published are recognised at awards time, because it means that other people agree that the stories are as good as I think they are! A FableCroft story won an Aurealis Award for the first time this year, which was very exciting (yay Thoraiya!), and we also have stories being reprinted in the Ticonderoga Year's Best collection later this year. Awards are not the reason I publish, but it's a lovely bonus.
SB: Small press publishing seems to be thriving in Australian speculative fiction in recent years. Do you agree - and if so, why do you think this is the case?
TW: Personally, I would agree that independent press seems to be thriving in Australia, but I've only got a decade long perspective to work with. Certainly it seems in our history, we've had other boom periods, but the difference today is, I think, visibility and accessibility. We live in a connected world, and it is both much easier to actually CREATE such things, thanks to the advances and lessening costs of printing/publishing, as well as to be AWARE of them, due to social networking. The noise-to-quality ratio may also be increasing, but authors can certainly find more publishing opportunities now than ever before, and those opportunities seem to be growing too. It means we know more about what is out there, both within Australia and internationally, and can easily find publications we're interested in reading, and interested in submitting to. It's a great and scary time to be involved in publishing – so many changes, and so many opportunities. Pretty awesome, really!

A copunctal point is where color confusion lines
intersect for a certain dichromat. It corresponds to the missing cone primary.
The red, green and blue dots are the copunctal points of protanope (missing long
wavelength cone), deuteranope (missing middle wavelength cone) and tritanope (missing
short wavelength cone) respectively.
Click a chart to redraw it if it is distorted
Here the copunctal points derived by Smith and Pokorny (1975) are used because they are probably
the only set of copunctal points for 1931 CIE color matching functions.
Please see Stockman, A., Sharpe, L.T. (1999) for a thorough review
of cone primaries. Colblindor has a very readable blog explaining copunctal points and confusion lines.

The Pirate Bay Appeal Verdict: Guilty Again
The verdict against three people associated with The Pirate Bay just been announced. The Swedish Appeal Court found Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij and Carl Lundström guilty of "contributory copyright infringement" and handed down prison sentences ranging from 4 to 10 months plus damages of more than $6.5 million in total.
pirate bayIn April last year the Stockholm Court sentenced the 'The Pirate Bay Four' to one year in prison and a fine of $905,000 each. The defendants immediately announced that they would appeal the decision and the case went before the Appeal Court two months ago.
Today, Friday November 26, the Swedish Appeal Court announced its decision. Compared to the District Court ruling, the court has decreased the prison sentences for the three defendants, but increased the damages that have to be paid to the entertainment industries.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge in Sacramento is set to hear arguments Wednesday over Gov. Jerry Brown's push to regain state control of inmate mental health care after 18 years of federal oversight and billions of dollars spent to improve treatment.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge in Sacramento is set to hear arguments Wednesday over Gov. Jerry Brown's push to regain state control of inmate mental health care after 18 years of federal oversight and billions of dollars spent to improve treatment.
Lawyers representing the state argue that California is now providing a constitutional level of care to its prison inmates, while attorneys for the inmates say more improvement is needed.
California has spent more than $1 billion in construction for mental health facilities and increased salaries to hire more and better mental health workers. It now has more than 1,700 psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, social workers and nurses to treat more than 32,000 mentally ill inmates, or about one specialist for every 19 patients.
"California has invested tremendous amounts of money, resources and effort to transform its prison mental health care system into one of the best in the country," the state said in one of its recent court filings.
Inmates' attorneys say the efforts so far are not enough and that more mental health facilities must be built and staffed. They also say more must be done to reduce a suicide rate that exceeds the national average for state and federal prisons.
California's prison suicide rate was 24 per 100,000 inmates in 2012. That compares to 16 per 100,000 inmates in other state prisons and the historical average of nine suicides per 100,000 inmates in federal prisons.
"The facts on the ground demonstrate that life-threatening constitutional violations are current and ongoing," the inmates' attorneys said in their court filings. "Unnecessary and avoidable pain, suffering and death result all too frequently."
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton must rule by early next month under the legal process Brown set in motion in January.
Ending the lawsuit is key to the Democratic governor's attempt to lift a separate court order over prison crowding that otherwise will force the state to reduce its inmate population by nearly 10,000 by year's end.
The order, upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011, prompted the state to enact Brown's so-called realignment law, which requires lower-level offenders to serve their sentences in county jails. Since then, the population of the state's 33 adult prisons has dropped by nearly 25,000 inmates to about 119,000.
So far, the legal battle has not gone well for Brown, although he has promised to appeal any adverse rulings back to the nation's high court.
Court-appointed experts and overseers have recently said California still provides substandard care to inmates with both mental and physical illnesses, while federal judges have ruled against the state on virtually every motion they have filed.
Moreover, Karlton said last week that he may refuse to consider reports from all four of the state's mental health experts whose opinions are at the core of the state's case.
The experts said they found the 13 prisons they visited last year all provided acceptable mental health care. Attorneys representing inmates said they were not notified of the visits and were not present when their mentally ill clients were interviewed, as required by ethical standards and a previous court order.
The state responded this week that one of the state's experts "mentioned it" to one of the inmates' attorneys, and that the court-appointed special master was told that visits were planned.
Complaints of continuing poor care for mentally ill inmates were supported by letters and a sworn declaration from staff psychiatrists at Salinas Valley State Prison that were filed in support of the inmates' case.
The psychiatrists work for the Department of State Hospitals, which runs the program that treats about 360 severely mentally ill inmates at the Salinas prison. One psychiatrist last week called for a federal investigation, saying all nine psychiatrists are leaving the program.
Department spokeswoman Kristy Fortes said she could not immediately comment.

Falling Leaves
Figure 1
Figure 1 shows a graphical representation of a binary tree of letters. People familiar with binary trees can skip over the definitions of a binary tree of letters, leaves of a binary tree, and a binary search tree of letters, and go right to The problem.
A binary tree of letters may be one of two things:
In the graphical representation of a binary tree of letters:
A leaf in a binary tree is a node whose subtrees are both empty. In the example in Figure 1, this would be the five nodes with data B, D, H, P, and Y.
The preorder traversal of a tree of letters satisfies the defining properties:
The preorder traversal of the tree in Figure 1 is KGCBDHQMPY.
A tree like the one in Figure 1 is also a binary search tree of letters. A binary search tree of letters is a binary tree of letters in which each node satisfies:
The root's data comes later in the alphabet than all the data in the nodes in the left subtree.
The root's data comes earlier in the alphabet than all the data in the nodes in the right subtree.
The problem:
Consider the following sequence of operations on a binary search tree of letters
Remove the leaves and list the data removed
Repeat this procedure until the tree is empty
Starting from the tree below on the left, we produce the sequence of trees shown, and then the empty tree
by removing the leaves with data
Your problem is to start with such a sequence of lines of leaves from a binary search tree of letters and output the preorder traversal of the tree.
The input will contain one or more data sets. Each data set is a sequence of one or more lines of capital letters.
The lines contain the leaves removed from a binary search tree in the stages described above. The letters on a line will be listed in increasing alphabetical order. Data sets are separated by a line containing only an asterisk ('*').
The last data set is followed by a line containing only a dollar sign ('$'). There are no blanks or empty lines in the input.
For each input data set, there is a unique binary search tree that would produce the sequence of leaves. The output is a line containing only the preorder traversal of that tree, with no blanks.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has completed initial experiments showing the mineralogy of Martian soil is similar to weathered basaltic soils of volcanic origin in Hawaii.
The minerals were identified in the first sample of Martian soil ingested recently by the rover. Curiosity used its Chemistry and Mineralogy instrument (CheMin) to obtain the results, which are filling gaps and adding confidence to earlier estimates of the mineralogical makeup of the dust and fine soil widespread on the Red Planet.
CheMin uses X-ray diffraction, the standard practice for geologists on Earth using much larger laboratory instruments.
The specific sample for CheMin's first analysis was soil Curiosity scooped up at a patch of dust and sand that the team named Rocknest. The sample was processed through a sieve to exclude particles larger than 0.006 inch (150 micrometers), roughly the width of a human hair. The sample has at least two components: dust distributed globally in dust storms and fine sand originating more locally. The soil material CheMin has analyzed is representative of modern processes on Mars.
"Much of Mars is covered with dust, and we had an incomplete understanding of its mineralogy," said David Bish, CheMin co-investigator with Indiana University in Bloomington. "We now know it is mineralogically similar to basaltic material, with significant amounts of feldspar, pyroxene and olivine, which was not unexpected. Roughly half the soil is non-crystalline material, such as volcanic glass or products from weathering of the glass."

Trump Declares War! Cuts Deal With Garbage Pail Kids, Walking Dead Still Biting
(FNN) – Today Trump met with Jadis, leader of the garbage pail kids, and finalized a deal that will more than double the size of The Trump Organization. Ever since Trump's efforts as president to create the ultimate chemical weapon turned most of the country into the walking dead, Trump has been attempting to find a way to defeat The Saviors and take over Alexandria so he and his extended family can live there in peace and prosperity.
After the meeting, Trump addressed his followers and stated, "This meeting was huge. It was the best meeting filled with the best people. With the support of these fantastic garbage pail kids, I'm declaring war against The Saviors and demanding the people of Alexandria leave their community in the next twelve hours or they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before."
Soon after, Rick Grimes, the off again on again leader of Alexandria, called for a meeting at the church. There he discussed Alexandria's options with the residents.
"We have to come for them…before they come for us. Do they really think they're gonna take this community from us. From Michonne? From Daryl? From me? From Carl…Caarl! They're gonna feel really stupid when they find out they are screwing with the wrong people."
Carol added, "Donnie, look at the flowers…just look at the flowers."
At this same moment in a nearby town Negan called a meeting of The Saviors.
"Trump's got some beach ball-size lady-nuts on him, talking all kamikaze like that. Well, Lucille is thirsty. She is a vampire bat! I'm gonna pop Trump's skull so hard his eyeballs'll pop out, and that shit is gross. Pissing your pants yet Donnie boy? It's gonna be pee-pee pants city real soon but I expect you'd like that. Donnie boy, you got no guts. Saviors, we are going to war!"
We've reached out to the Wolves for comment but as of yet there's been no response.

These Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Cauliflower Tacos are a perfect addition to your family's taco Tuesday tradition! Dairy-free and gluten-free and packed with flavor and nutrition in every bite!
Taco Tuesday night continues to be a hit at our house, and that means I'm always coming up with new ideas. One of my go-to's lately has been these Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Cauliflower Tacos.
I'm always trying to squeeze more veggies into my tacos, but my kids love the meat! So this is a perfect combo. And as always with tacos, it's the ultimate crowd pleaser since everyone can design their own.
Pork Tenderloin
Pork tenderloin lends itself well to a pan sear and roasting combo. If you've never done this, it may sound complicated, but once you've done it a few times you'll see why it's such a popular way to prepare this tasty cut of meat. But note, it's easiest with an oven-safe digital thermometer.
Pork is packed with protein and is also an excellent source of thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and vitamin B6. Pork tenderloin also happens to be as lean as skinless chicken breast.Add these Roasted Pork Tenderloin & Cauliflower Tacos to your #TacoTuesday rotation! Click To Tweet
Cauliflower on a taco? Yes, please!
Roasted cauliflower is just amazingly delicious. My kids still prefer theirs steamed, so sometimes I will do half and half for this recipe because I know they will eat more of it.
Cauliflower, a member of the brassica family, is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6.
Green, Purple, and Red
When I was little, my mom gave me the important advice to always make sure I had a colorful plate. Solid advice that I still try to practice with every meal.
Having a variety of colors on your plate helps ensure you get a variety of nutrients and is pleasing to the senses. (It also helps make for a good picture!)
So add some green, purple and red to this taco with the following additions:
- Cilantro – packed with vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate
- Avocado – mash it into a cream with a little vegan or regular sour cream and lime juice if desired
- Lime wedges
- Baby spinach or lettuce
- Red cabbage – cut into slivers and serve raw next to the lime for a beautiful color contrast
- Fresh chopped tomatoes or salsa
Prep Ahead
Save time during the dinner time rush by preparing the pork tenderloin and cauliflower ahead of time. And consider making extra, as the pork and cauliflower are perfect for adding to a rice bowl or salad the next day! (Or more tacos!)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt
- 2 tablespoons avocado or canola oil
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, visible fat trimmed
- ¼ red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 ripe avocados, chopped or mashed into avocado cream*
- 2-4 cups baby spinach or lettuce
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Jarred salsa or Sriracha sauce
- 8-12 corn tortillas (make sure gluten-free if needed)
- Position racks in lower and upper part of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- In a small prep bowl, combine spices: chili powder through salt.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, add cauliflower and season with 4 teaspoons of the spice mixture. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Roast cauliflower for 20-25 minutes on the lower level in the oven, tossing once or twice, until soft and lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, rub pork with the remaining spice mixture.
- Heat the other tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and pan sear for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until starting to brown on all sides.
- Transfer the skillet with the pork to the upper rack in the oven. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reads 150 degrees. Transfer to a meat cutting board and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice pork into thin strips and serve family style alongside the rest of the taco ingredients.

Inositol is fundamental for cell membranes and is necessary for proper functioning of nerves, brain and muscles in the body. It functions closely with vitamin B complex. It is primarily used in the treatment of liver problems, depression panic attacks and diabetes. It aids in the breakdown of fats, helps in the reduction of blood cholesterol levels and helps to prevent the thinning of hair. Neurotransmitters such as serotonin in the brain depend on Inositol to function properly. There appears to be some evidence that decreased levels of Inositol may have a role to play in people suffering from depression.

Escaped Alone
Caryl Churchill's Escaped Alone is a play you feel rather than rationalise. Half of the dialogue exists as fragments of the conversation in a back garden between four women, pared back and distilled to the essence of the four viewpoints. And why not? Who ever remembers every word an actor speaks? Mixing humour and lightness with depth and guilt, it's disconcerting and disjointed during the performance and yet completely memorable after the event.
The other half of the play is woven around predictions of the future – pretty well in the form of computer algorithms that take our modern life and extrapolate without regard to the sense or the context. 'The chemicals leaked through cracks in the money' and 'the entire food stock of Newcastle was won by lottery ticket'. Dystopian, in one sense bizarre, but just under the surface a sense that these could be very real predictions.
But perhaps the most unsettling are the temporal shifts. A woman enters a garden where three friends sit, because she hears talking. Soon enough, the four women are all singing Da Doo Ron Ron as if it were a teenage memory. Long time periods condensed into the essence of the relationships? Parallel universes perhaps? Fragments of lives that exist independently?
Caryl Churchill paints a vision that is both very human and a highly digital version of our lives. A future condensed into codes, predictions and fragments of truth. Powerful, disturbing but fragmented in every way.

Henry Cavill backs Ben Affleck as Batman

Ben Affleck has done "an absolutely fantastic job" as Batman, according to his co-star Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill thinks Ben Affleck has done "an absolutely fantastic job" as Batman.
The decision to cast the 43-year-old star in the iconic role was roundly criticised when the news was first announced, but Henry - who appears opposite Ben in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' - has revealed he's brought something entirely fresh to one of the most coveted parts in Hollywood.
He said: "It's funny because no matter who gets announced, people always throw their hands up in the air and complain, that's just the nature of it.
"But Ben has done an absolutely fantastic job. He's brought something to Batman that no one else has brought before."
Meanwhile, Henry revealed that he and Ben became competitive when it came to preparing for their respective roles.
Talking about their gym regimes, Henry told Total Film magazine: "We were training with different people, so there was no direct comparison. But there's always going to be competition between two men if they want to be superheroes.
"It's a matter of making that a nice healthy bit of competition as opposed to negative competition."
