Victor Hugo, known as the Bust to the Illustrious Master
Auguste Rodin (1840 -1917)
H. 48.5 cm ; W. 29 cm ; D. 30.5 cm
Gift of Rodin to Hugo. Acquired from Marguerite Hugo, the sitter's great-granddaughter, 1928, through David David-Weill.
< Back to collection
In 1883, the journalist Edmond Bazire advised Rodin to make a portrait of a famous man to help establish his own reputation. He introduced the sculptor to Victor Hugo, who refused to pose at sittings, but invited Rodin into his home on the Avenue d'Eylau and allowed him to make a few drawings of him while he was eating or having his afternoon sleep.
Rodin made sketches of the poet's head from different standpoints on the palm on his hand or on cigarette papers, before rushing out to the veranda, where he set up his sculptor's turntable in order to reproduce in clay what he had hastily jotted down. The technique of drawing from memory, which he had learnt from Lecoq de Boisbaudran, proved very useful.
The portrait was completed in 1883, two years before Hugo died. Rodin, who had always admired poets like Dante and Baudelaire , inscribed À l'illustre maître on the lower neck, as if paying him a final tribute. He later reworked the bust to produce a more refined version, cut off below the frock coat's lapel, and without the base.

In April, scientists and supporters in cities across the United States marched in a unified protest. "In the face of an alarming trend toward discrediting scientific consensus and restricting scientific discovery," states the March for Science website, "can we afford not to speak out in its defense?" Pagans across the country joined scientists, whether in spirit or in the flesh, and supported the march.This demonstrates a general support for scientific work in the Pagan community, yet that support can take different forms depending on one's particular spiritual practice. The Pagan umbrella is large, and the practices that claim space beneath it are diverse; each practitioner has a different relationship with the scientific community. This can vary based on your beliefs, your professional life, and your understanding of scientific inquiry.
Airmid Plantwalker, a Temple of Witchcraft high priestess from Texas, worked as a research nurse for almost 40 years. "I was taught to question everything," says Plantwalker, "and apply the scientific method to problem-solving." For her, "science and magick are often the same thing." She explains that "we were given a sense of wonder and curiosity by our creator in order to investigate and answer the questions of the world around us."
Author Devin Hunter sees his relationship similarly. "One of the core tenets in my practice is a belief that the literal universe (space, time, matter, energy, etc.) is a being known as the Star Goddess," he explains. "My religious practices are all about trying to understand my place within this being as well as my relationship to this being as possible." Hunter goes on to say, "Science is a major part of how I am able to do this and I think of it as concomitant to spirituality. I look to science for inspiration. . . . When I look at the data coming back from Kepler, I see God in the numbers and in those photos. When science confirmed global warming it let me know as a spiritual person that I needed to step up my game and take action."
Other Pagans have a very different take on the place science fits into their practice. Lupa, a naturalist Pagan from Oregon, holds no supernatural beliefs. "My path," she explains, "is shaped by science and direct observation," and "sacred acts include those that are in service to the planet and all its beings." For her, science and spirituality are "inextricably entwined." Her path is one of "direct contact with the natural world, without filters or anthropocentric biases," because for her, "it wasn't until I discarded all the tools and trappings" of magickal practice "and finally immersed myself in the soil and the ferns and the winds that I realized, 'Ahhh. There it is.'"
Blogger John Halstead practices an archetypal form of Paganism based largely on the work of Carl Jung and David Abram. Halstead explains, "I feel a profound and abiding sense of wonder and reverence when I contemplate the evolution of the universe and of biological life described by science." For him, the "Great Story" of the evolution of the universe "functions…like religious myth, but one that happens to be literally true," making it "a narrative that orders my world, helps me understand my place in it, shows me how to live a meaningful life, and enables me to come to terms with my own mortality."
While it is common for Pagans to have a deep respect for scientific inquiry, that relationship is not without tension. Pagans engage often engage in practices such as magick, reiki, homeopathic remedies, and herbal medicine, which are not supported by the scientific community. Halstead is particularly concerned by this, stating that he is "suspicious of pseudoscience, the misuse of scientific method to justify belief in non-scientific phenomena." He believes that this kind of scientific misuse is common in the Pagan world. He and Lupa agree, for example, that it is a misuse of science to "invoke quantum physics or chaos theory to justify a belief in practical magic."At the same time, Halsted is also "suspicious of 'scientism,'" which he describes as "when people overestimate the explanatory power of science. An example of this, according to Halstead, "is the mistaken belief that everything which is real is understood by science, and that if it is not understood by science, it must not be real." In a similar vein, Lupa describes herself as an "I don't care-ist," saying that "I am not particularly invested in trying to prove to others that the spirits I work with in rituals are anything more than archetypal beings within my own consciousness."
"Believe what you want," says Lupa, "but don't abuse science in your attempts to legitimize your beliefs. If you want to believe that carrying around a quartz crystal in your pocket will make you healthier, be my guest," she continues, "just don't try to say that piezoelectricity is the force that makes the crystal 'magical.'" That, she explains, "displays a fundamental ignorance."
For Hunter, when his science and spirituality do not match, he "look[s] at it as another mystery." He uses the term "preternatural" to describe his experiences as a witch, medium, and occultist. "Unlike supernatural," he says, this means that, "even though we may not have the ability to understand it scientifically at the moment, we one day will." When he practices reiki with clients, for example, Hunter says that "I explain it from a folk perspective," and makes no medical or scientific claims.
Plantwalker, a nurse, worked for an institution which conducted empirical research on practices such as reiki, but she shows caution with these types of research. "After all," says Plantwalker, "how does one measure pain? It's subjective by nature."
"The occult is for people who like a good existential mystery," says Hunter.
In the current political climate here in the United States, scientists need allies. Many feel under attack, and many Pagans have stepped forward to become a part of their cause. "The scientific community needs all of the support they can muster right now," says Plantwalker. "Research has historically been heavily funded by government agencies, and without that support we stand to lose substantial ground in the areas of medical, environmental, and other pressing issues that will negatively affect everyone in the U.S.A."There does need to be caution in that support, however. Lupa states that the community needs "to make science a central part of our understanding of our world and our path," which should start with, "more emphasis on the actual physical beings and phenomena in nature that are behind its symbols and archetypes." She advises Pagans who support science to watch documentaries, get into the dirt and understand plant life and gardening, and to "get to know your bio-region in detail."
In the same vein, Halstead cautions that "the first thing we need to do is to start distinguishing legitimate science from pseudoscience" and "stop taking Paganism as a license to believe whatever we want."
Hunter, however, notes that the Pagan and scientific communities "have a lot of common ground right now." He also cautions against utilizing pseudoscience, stating that, "this dilutes the potency of scientific findings and really isn't a far cry from building an ark in Kentucky," yet he advises to stand with science "out of common concern," for "if science is not allowed to be science then we are doomed as a species."

Are Sea of Thieves and Sea of Thieves Insider the same thing or different?
I am part of the Sea of Thieves Insider Programme and I can only say so much about it because of the terms and conditions I have to follow. However, upon starting Sea of Thieves Insider, I had came to the customization menu and was worried that if I picked a character, if that would overwrite my character on the actual Sea of Thieves game.
Will it do that or is it completely different? Are they two different saves or how does it work? Thank you!
@necrositic Ahoy matey!
Never fear, they are completely separate independent builds and nothing will transfer between the two!
@musicmee Alright cool, so if they are independent builds, can I cross play with Xbox and PC together with two different accounts or will that not work? I'm saying that because if I play on the Xbox with my PL account, I can level the new account up quickly since it's boosting weekend.
@necrositic Ahoy matey!
As like the main game, the insider build is Cross Play enabled so you can pick up where you left off on any platform.

20 Funny Snooki Quotes
Nicole Polizzi, better known by pop culture as Snooki, is a very funny girl. Made famous while on MTV's hit show "Jersey Shore," the pint sized "guida," was always a favorite on the show for her wild and crazy antics and unusual vocabulary. She spoke her mind and didn't care what anyone thought of her, even if it made her look dumb (which she did the majority of the time while on the many seasons of the show). She was one of the show's main characters who was always up in the drama, which is probably why she got a spinoff show with her best friend titled Snooki & Jwoww on MTV.
Since the show first hit MTV in 2009, Snooki gained even more popularity after appearing on various talk shows.

Then on April 4, 2014, she announced that she was expecting a baby girl, which was born on September 26, 2014. She has since then married Jionni La Valle and continues to make appearances and do guest hosting jobs. She also was also on "Dancing With The Stars" back in 2013 and was guest hostess for WWE Raw in 2011 and even competed at WrestleMania 27 that same year.
Always one to give lots of laughs, here are some of the best Snooki quotes:

Whether it is a warm summer season or bright winter season girls can have fun on the open beaches. Every woman like to look sexier and also more erotic in the swimwear then other girls. Girls see Kingston escorts, style designs, as well as celebs in a bikini and also want to look as them. To get the comparable sensual and also sexy appearances and also resemble hot bikini babes they have to follow some minor tips which can offer erotic appearances effortlessly. When women put on a bikini, after that their skin becomes their dress. If they do not have a radiant, attractive and also shiny skin, after that they may not look excellent because dress also if they have a best number. There are certain things that swimwear infants can do to obtain hot and radiant skin without placing many efforts in it. Talking about these points that could help swimsuit infants to get glowing and also attractive skin. Right here we are sharing some simple tricks that make you appear like swimsuit babes and Kingston escorts as well as might you could draw in even more eyes in the direction of you in this dress.
Work on curves:
Swimwear babes and Kingston escorts need to have the well-shaped hips as well as butts. Kingston escorts and also style designs spend hrs to exercise to enhance their contours. If you likewise want to look sexy in the swimwear you can do the exercises. In addition to them, women can take help of padded swimwears and also skirted bases which could boost your curves with no heavy initiatives or workouts. This technique may seem simple, yet it could provide fantastic end result to them as well as it can help them have a hot look as well in this gown.
Keep the figure:
the center portion of the body should be attractive and also slim. This shapely shape likewise needs hefty workouts and diet to look slim. Yet if you noticed the swimsuit of the style versions and Kingston escorts, they select ranges of wears to look slim. Like you could select shaping fits, go with contrast combinations sideways and monokini too. These sorts of fits can merely develop the impression of attractive as well as slim shapely number like swimsuit infants without any hefty efforts. This kinds of swimsuit fits are quickly readily available in neighborhood stores also at on-line stores as well.
Smooth your skin:
as you know that swimsuit babes and Kingston escorts need to expose a lot of skin, and also if they have hirsute or harsh skin then they cannot look sexy and also hot. You could saw all the bikini infants, models and also Kingston escorts have a very glowing as well as smooth skin, and also this makes them look lovely in the sexy swimwear. If you wish to look sexual and attractive in the bikinis after that you would just spend some time to make your skin soft, puffy and glowing with nice hair removals, moisturizers as well as day spa massage therapy also. These preparations are necessary to complete the sexy looks as well as make great presents for the photos while earing this gown at any kind of area.
Stay hydrated:
Staying hydrated is among the most standard things that all the swimwear babes and Kingston escorts need to do to have sexy and also smooth skin. The good thing about staying hydrated is that it will secrete all the harmful substances from your body and you will have the ability to have a glowing skin in simple fashion. In order to remain hydrated, girls and Kingston escorts can try to consume alcohol as much fresh water as feasible. Aside from this, they can additionally utilize lemon juice to remain healthy. Lots of Kingston escorts do attempt this technique as well as they get truly remarkable appearance also
Avoid sunlight:
Without a doubt, sunlight is very important for tanning, but if you are not aiming to tan your skin in appropriate means, after that you must stay away from sunlight. Direct sunshine could in fact melt your skin and also it can make your skin rough and also completely dry. As a result of that your skin will shed its radiance too. This is a guideline that applies on all the women and Kingston escorts does not matter exactly what kind of work they do. So, if your come from Kingston escorts, police officer goer or home better halves, if you are heading out in sun with no security, then you will certainly end up having a negative skin without a doubt.
Avoid alcohol:
Staying moisturized is very important to obtain a gorgeous skin, however keeping away from alcohol. IF you will certainly utilize alcohol after that it will not only impact your digestion system, yet it will certainly influence your skin and various other crucial organs also. Numerous Kingston escorts obtain a chance to consume alcohol top quality wine with their clients, but they just pass it because that is not good for their skin. Thus, I would certainly claim various other bikini babes and Kingston escorts ought to additionally pass the alcohol to have a good result.
Eat healthy and balanced food:
Eating healthy food is extremely important for glowing and gorgeous skin and also all the swimsuit infants should remember this fact. Many Kingston escorts recognize this reality which is why they do not eat anything that is not good for their wellness. They choose fresh food, they stay clear of scrap and that assist them have a great as well as healthy and balanced skin also. Similar to them other ladies ought to likewise pick their food sensibly to have an excellent end result and also far better skin.
In addition to these points, it is additionally crucial that you do exercise on day-to-day basis. Be it Kingston escorts or any other home better half. If they will certainly not do exercise, after that they will certainly have fat deposition on their body. Ultimately, that fat will impact your skin as well. So, girls and Kingston escorts should spend good time in their workout as well to have better look. On top of that, women should purchase the swimsuit sensibly which suits them ideal. The colour, textile, as well as the pattern needs to be matched with the type of body as well as complexion. Apart from this, girls and Kingston escorts have to keep their self-confidence degree as well at the highest making sure their destination as well as beauty work on all the individuals. These basic methods could make you look like as sexy as bikini infants or Kingston escorts. And also you can draw in a lot more eyes of the good-looking men on the beach or from the location anywhere you are – visit website

Chris and Rachael, Balham
We employed Witek and his team to undertake a varied job that they completed in an impressive timeframe and with excellent results. They built two fitted bedroom wardrobes, a bedroom bookcase and two bookcases in the living room that incorporates shelving for TV etc. They also renovated our front garden, which involved knocking down and building a wall, building a second wall, laying slate tiles and also laying black and white mosaic tiling that incorporated a manhole cover and the step to the front door. All of this was achieved in just over two weeks and we are xtremely pleased with the results.
The front garden is transformed and in the few days since Witek and his team finished it, we have received several complimentary comments from our friends and neighbours.
All of the work has been finished to a very high standard – Witek is not one to cut corners and takes immense pride in his work. During the building work Witek and his team made extra effort to keep the house clean and tidy, impressive given the nature of the work they were doing. We would not hesitate to recommend Witek.

Toronto After Dark 2011: First 8 Titles Announced!
It's time!!!! the first set of titles for the Toronto After Dark Film Festival have been released and we've got films with brains, monsters,and the bizarre which venture into space, deal with survivalism and a monster showdown. The festival opens with Canadian comedy Monster Brawl starring Art Hindle, Dave Foley and Lance Henriksen. I've become fonder and fonder of monster films this year so I'm definitely up for a monster show down! Can't wait for this one, and it will be the least amount of time to wait as it will be the very first film of the fest!
Anthology fans rejoice with this years anthology film The Theatre Bizarre with 6 films inspired by the Grand Guignol theatre Paris. Previous anthologies of Phobia 2 & Trick'r'Treat were all well received so fingers crossed we are in for another piece-by-piece treat this year.
We also have animation entries this year with the Japanimation film Redline as well as the zombie film Exit Humanity which has both blends animation with live action and stars Dee Wallace & Stephen McHattie (Pontypool). And that ain't the only zombie film, and we know their can't be only one! We also have DeadHeads filling the zombieness for a zombie comedy.
I'm thrilled to see two interesting looking science fiction films that are in this first announcement with survivalist film The Divide with an awesome cast including Michael Biehn (The Terminator, Aliens), Milo Ventimiglia & Michael Eklund (Hunt to Kill) & space-set Love featuring the music of Angels & Airways and I think this one looks absolutely fantastic.
It's very exciting to hear about World Premieres at the festival and this year Father's Day holds that honour and the films is made by the Canadian filmmaking team Astron-6 which you may remember from previous years of the festival for their shorts Lazer Ghosts 2: Return to Laser Cove and Heart of Karl. Father's Day is produced by Troma (Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead).
If you want to get a taste of all the films so far check out the festival trailer here (and below) or see all of the trailers here and check out the festivals YouTube Page. And that's less that half of the line up of the features, I'll keep our ear to the ground for more feature titles and shorts as well!

You can pick up passes here and single tickets will go on sale at the end of September, which is also when the remaining titles will be announced. But I say don't wait.

It's been almost five years since Christina Hammock Koch was chosen by NASA to be an astronaut. She's completed the initial two-year training program for all new astronauts, and is in regular contact with the astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
But she's still waiting for her first mission, the order that will trigger additional training and an eventual trip into space.
Not that Koch, who earned two bachelor's degrees and a master's degree at NC State, is complaining. She keeps busy with ongoing training, work that she does in mission control in Houston and outreach efforts (including a popular Instagram account) to help the public understand the life of an astronaut and the work of the space program.
"No mission yet," Koch said when we caught up* with her on a recent visit to NC State. "No one has gone to space yet in the 2013 class, but two out of the eight have gotten a mission assignment. So the ice has been broken. The wheels are in motion — it's happening."
It is likely that Koch's first mission, when it comes, will be a stint on the International Space Station. Koch studied electrical engineering and physics at NC State and worked in remote locations such as Antarctica and Greenland before she became an astronaut. And one of her periodic jobs now is to work as a CAPCOM, or "capsule communicator," in NASA's mission control.

Now, I should probably talk about last night's Main Event on the WWE Network, however due to an issue with my bank card I was unable to gain access to the Network (It works fine now!) and therefore have yet to view last night's Main Event (I'll probably catch it on a replay somewhere down the line)
So instead let's chat about something that I missed yesterday...the WWE Hall of Fame induction of Razor Ramon. Coincidentally you can now vote for ATPW's 4th Hall of Famer at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VMM9M6H, with the options being Ric Flair, Vince McMahon, Jr, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Davey Boy Smith. Now, check out Ramon's induction video below...
When this video went out on Raw this Monday, there was a lot of discussion about the decision not to include any footage of Scott Hall in WCW or his short WWE return, with the package focusing only on Ramon footage from WWF. Many seemed almost upset about this, "How dare WWE not include any nWo footage!" It was really quite bizarre.
There are a number of reason that I wasn't at all bothered by there being no WCW footage. Firstly, the best work of Scott Hall was arguably as Razor Ramon. Yes, the nWo was the most revolutionary ideas ever to be stolen from Japan, and for a while it did massive ratings for WCW, but how many memorable singles contests did Hall have in WCW? And didn't the nWo eventually strangle WCW to death? Wasn't it Scott Hall who tasered Goldberg to end his undefeated streak? Yeah, let's just honour Razor Ramon, eh chico?
Alongside this, it was made very clear that it was the Razor Ramon character entering the Hall of Fame, not Scott Hall...yes, Scott Hall played Razor Ramon on WWF television and then went on to play another character called Scott Hall for WCW and later WWE, but the character and the performer are two different things. It's like getting upset that a video package dedicated to David Arquette's Dewey Riley character in Scream, doesn't feature any footage of Gordie Boggs!
Finally, I'd also expect that WWE are planning a big induction for the nWo, somewhere down the line, with Scott Hall being a big part of that induction. So the performer Scott Hall would be honoured twice, but not the character of Scott Hall, if you get my drift. Whether, WWE will see fit to induct the entire nWo, or just the original three (Hall, Hollywood Hogan and Kevin Nash) is yet to be seen, but I can't quite imagine them putting the likes of Konnan, Horace Hogan and Buff Bagwell into the Hall!

Recently over the past few weeks, I've had essentially the same conversation with a handful of people in different spaces (both mentally and literally). It ultimately boiled down to me sharing my three guiding questions that determine how I walk through life and the decisions I make to do so. These questions work extremely well for me, and they are very simple and easy to do, so I thought I would share them with you. You're welcome!
18 Things I Learned In 2018
As I round out the year on the sofa with my pup, I have decided to look back on what seemed like the longest year of my life. 2018 has been a year filled with excitement, frustrations, and revelations, but most of all, it has been a year of lessons...
Divine Femininity
I am woman. Divine feminine energy permeates every fiber of my being, and I am worthy of all the gifts the universe conspired to give me.
Lessons On The Mat – Patience
Through a regular practice of yoga and meditation, I have been given the opportunity to step away from myself in difficult moments to analyze everything that arises. I strive to turn every one of these moments into a lesson - a way to better myself. Today, my lesson was patience {and a little bit of learning how to better stand up for myself in the future}.
Life Journeys – Following Your True Calling
Is following your true calling an unrealistic fantasy?
Everyone Remembers Their First Time…
Some people second guess their clothing choices, the location, and possibly the timing. Most people fear seeming that they don't know anything. Sometimes, it is the first time getting to REALLY connect with one's own body.
A letter to my love

In two weeks time its A4U Expo London 2010. As a mediapartner we will off course be present at the Excel Centre to cover the conference, but there is more! We not only gave away the free ticket for the conference, we also talk about the show in advance, on our radioshow, on our special A4U page and right here! We have asked several speakers some questions about A4U Expo. You can find their answers here, plus the reasons you should go and see their specific sessions!
Today a very special interview with The Squirrel who represents conversion-rate-experts.com. Enjoy and see you next week in London!
Go see his answers here:
1- What makes A4U a different conference to be speaking at than others?
A4uexpo is extremely results-focussed. For the attendees, effective marketing is a matter of life or death. This seems to attract smart, dynamic people.
2- What can people expect from your presentation?
We'll be describing 15 of the most common conversion killers—the things that are currently killing your profits—and explaining specific, easy-to-implement techniques for eliminating each of them.
We'll also be giving a conversion clinic, in which (brave) members of the audience will submit their websites for constructive criticism. You can learn loads from seeing specific examples of how other websites can be improved.
3- Why should people attend your session instead of the other ones?
An effective web business needs traffic and conversions, so you shouldn't be restricting yourself to sessions about traffic. If you can't out-convert your competitors, you can't out-bid them.
If you've read our articles, you'll know that we cram our talks full of useful tips. And our techniques work, as proven by our case studies.
4- Which other sessions would you recommend?
There are loads of good ones, as usual. SEO Ranking Factors in 2010 has some brilliant participants: Dave Naylor, Jon Myers, Dixon Jones and Will Critchlow.
5- Whats the biggest mistake you've made when it comes to affiliate marketing?
We've made many mistakes but, because we split test, we're allowed to call them "experiments". 🙂
Do you have a question for the conversion rates experts which he can answer in his presentation? Post it in the comments here and we'll make sure he gets them!

IRS Offer in Compromise
If you owe the IRS a serious amount of money, there is assistance you can obtain from the IRS. The IRS' Offer in Compromise program may let you pay off your tax debt for a fraction of what you owe. Whether your taxes were based on an error or you simply can't afford to pay the entire bill, there are many reasons the IRS might accept less than you owe.
The IRS has one goal: to collect as much of your money as possible.
However, it also realizes that some tax debts are so crushing that taxpayers simply can't catch up, especially as interest and penalties continue to mount. When it calculates that you can't pay your entire tax debt, it will consider an offer in compromise. The IRS isn't being charitable when it does this. It benefits by collecting what it can, and you benefit by getting out of debt. Don't expect the IRS to tell you that there could be a benefit to you by filing an offer in compromise. They will not.
You need professional advice in situations such as these.
Convincing the IRS to accept your offer in compromise isn't easy. You need to be able to prove that you have no way of paying off your tax debt, even if you could use an installment plan to do it. When you completely and correctly fill out the IRS' paperwork, there's no minimum amount that it will accept. You could pay your tax debt off for 20 cents or even 5 cents on the dollar. The key is to complete the Offer In Compromise paperwork correctly, asking the IRS to accept an offer that represents the lowest possible amount that they will accept. Doing this takes expertise and experience with the process.
The best way to successfully complete an Offer In Compromise and to save as much money as possible is to get a professional to help you. Our team has years of experience working with taxpayers like you and helping you get the best deal from the IRS. We will direct you in compiling records, fill out the IRS' forms, submit them for you and represent you in negotiations with the IRS.
Our goal is the same as yours — to reduce your taxes as much as possible.
Contact us to get the process started.

By Jingwei Wang and Madeline Hurley
The average Internet user is surely familiar with that twinge of annoyance felt when confronted by a red error message after typing an incorrect email address or password. But annoyance could turn to technologically fueled rage if email addresses containing new top-level domains (TLDs) are incompatible with the sites users are trying to access.
The Internet community is predicting a new age of innovation with the advent of 1,400 new TLDs composed of brand names, geographic locations, and generic terms – such as .WALMART, .LONDON, or .TATTOO. In addition to opening up vast tracts of Internet real estate where the public and businesses will be able to buy, sell, congregate, communicate, and learn, in many cases, new TLDs will offer more secure, intuitive, and streamlined paths to the content users are looking for.
Since their introduction late last year, the steady growth of new TLDs, and second-level registrations within them, promises a bright future – IF a few kinks get worked out. One of those kinks is the potential incompatibility between email addresses in new TLDs and websites anchored to legacy TLDs, such as .COM and .ORG.
The number of high-traffic websites and apps still incompatible with the new gTLDs indicates a broad lack of awareness of the potential problem. Social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn don't recognize new gTLDs, meaning anyone with a new gTLD email address will be blocked from registering an account. Countless other websites and apps risk losing customers and therefore profits if they don't make the necessary adjustments.
Imagine if a large community-based organization holding a convention tries to make online hotel reservations at a Hilton. The organizer is using a .COMMUNITY address, but after clicking the submit button, gets an error message. Hilton might lose thousands of dollars in potential business. Marriott, on the other hand, which has adjusted its systems to be compatible with new TLDs, could earn a loyal new TLD-using customer.
Some of the most popular consumer mobile apps such as Venmo, Uber, Skype and Snapchat lack compatibility with the new TLDs. If you have a new TLD email address, you might find yourself the odd one out while all your friends are snapchatting unflattering selfies to each other from across the room.
It's too early to measure the true impact of TLD incompatibility. But it will become increasingly problematic as new TLDs gain in popularity, particularly for business offering their goods and services online.

The value of human life
Michael K is often seen as a parasite, or unskilled worker throughout this book. He doesn't have a very high social status and he is aware of that. At times he purposely acts dumb, like not speaking, because he knows he can get away with it. However, Michael knows that he still has a purpose in this world but it takes him the whole book to discover what that purpose is. He spends his time living off the land one day at a time. He doesn't realize until later that he was born to be a gardener. The goal of his journey is not to find his purpose but to assist his mother and fulfill her wishes, what he believed to be his original purpose in life. Michael happens to stumble upon his gardening skills by doing what he had to for survival. He loves his life as a gardener and realizes that most other people wouldn't be able to survive as he did. There are times where he questions his love for gardening when others tell him that he should be a fencer, just as everyone questions if they're making the right choice. He believes that,"A man must live so that he leaves no trace of his living." Becoming a gardener is Michael's best bet for living out his philosophy.
Mother/Son enmeshment
Michael is closely emotionally attached to his mother, such that he is unable to express an emotional response to the world outside of this relationship. He is held within the matrix of this relationship, and having never learned to engage with the world outside, expresses great distress whenever challenged to do so. The medical officer sums up this relationship, writing to Michael, "[...] you should have got away at an early age from that mother of yours, who sounds like a real killer. [...] [Whilst] performing all the other feats of filial piety you no doubt performed, I also think of her sitting on your shoulders, eating out your brains, glaring about triumphantly, the very embodiment of great Mother Death." Michael exhibits some growth at the end of the story, through contact with kind peers.
In the conclusion, Michael ponders whether the moral of his story is "that there is enough time for everything." The concept of time is present throughout the whole novel. The books ends with a metaphor: "[H]e would lower [the spoon] down the shaft deep into the earth, and when he brought it up there would be water in the bowl of the spoon; and in that way, he would say, one can live."
War and military authority
The novel takes place in South Africa during a civil war in the 1970-80s, and K often crosses paths with soldiers throughout the story. These tend, based on flimsy or non-existent evidence, to accuse K and other people of various crimes such as theft or sabotage, while themselves performing corresponding acts of aggression with impunity. K is also more than once drafted into forced labour and placed in camps that vaguely resemble concentration camps. The inmates are given food, but eventually K rejects it. This appears to be a passive resistance to internment and arbitrary authority, though K may be only vaguely aware of his motives. He grows weaker and weaker until he finally escapes. Later on he is taken to a hospital instead, because he is too weak to work. He is better treated here, but nevertheless again refuses to eat and escapes. He does not evince much interest in the war, except as the soldiers pose a threat to him, from which he must hide or risk repeated internment or violence.
The story, which takes place during the apartheid regime and related racial conflicts, makes a reference to race, specifically, that there is a war "so that minorities can have a say in their own destinies." This line, spoken by a character in the hospital Michael stays in, implies Michael interacts with soldiers in the white side of a war between races in South Africa. It is also implied at various points that this side is losing the war.
The only other instance race is specified is in Part 1 of the novel, "Michael Visagie--CM--40--NFA--Unemployed". "CM" stands for "colored male" therefore telling the reader that Michael "Visagie" (which isn't Michael's surname) is an unemployed, 40-year-old, colored male with No Fixed Address. However, we are not told what race other characters belong to, nor are there any references to race politics or confrontations or any racial slurs in the dialogue.


text: The nature of the disagreement between myself and Dr. Johnson regarding counseling ministry. None of this means that the disagreements between biblical counseling and Christian psychology are non-existent or unimportant. In fact, I think these issues are some of the most important facing the church today. I think nothing less than our faithfulness to the Word of God and Jesus Christ is at stake.

The Fallen are made up of many different races and creatures. Some of these creatures are sentient (or semi-sentient). Some are mindless and others, while lacking sentience have a cunning that makes them lethal.
This is by no means a complete list of Fallen creatures.
Trolls. Huge, powerful, stupid. Powerful sorcerers can charm them.
Edars. Rare but powerful Edars are incredibly dangerous with their elemental magic. Can be recruited – for a price.
Umderdroths. The Dread lady Umber bred these lethal killing machines as pets. Can be tamed by powerful channelers.
Daemons. No other way to classify these nightmarish creatures. Created by the Titans, they may be immortal.
Dire Wolves.
Dire Bears
Sions. Powerful users of a very specific magic. They can be recruited.
The only one I found unappealing was the Sions pic. The video of the 'dark elf' was cool to see. I like quite a few of the names pps have listed here for your swamp creature. I will add Arsheraugh, Swompoith, Mirishaik, and Pheamuolth.
<MoronicQuestion>What is the red striped thing on the back of the Direwolf? Exposed ribs? Or a crest/ridge of some kind?</MoronicQuestion>
Daemons were inspired by the ice titan from the movie Hercules weren't they?
Hmm, you know, I actually didn't realize that. Damn, I thought I was being original...lol.
I thought the Edar looked pretty badass, but when I read "daemon" I knew that wiry-looking thing would be all kinds of bad news. You just know they saved that name for the really dangerous ones.
It reminds me of the robots in the movie I, Robot.. but probably like 100x quicker and 1000x as deadly AAHH Daemon!
This ^^
I would be fine with Swamp Geth for the Swamp-Based creature ....
although for my own part I will suggest the name "Fro'ghan Rex"
Can a fallen Emperor equip their troll(s) with Armor and Weapons? Can umberdroths be used as Mounts for certain people (maybe trolls or half-trolls)?
Edit: Just going to Reiterate that I love the creatures listed thus far: Especially the Edars, and the Umberdroths are a really close second.
I could see Umberdroths as either elite monsters used by a Soveriegn (as pets essentiall), or an Umberdroth could be used as a Sovereign's Mount. It really seems like the perfect Mount for an elite Dread-Channeler among the fallen. (like a Dread-Knight sort of Sovereign)
really love the Edars and Demons as a sort of elite warrior, and demons even as an elite politician perhaps ... like a Demon Champion usable by the fallen, for instance.
another creature I would suggest would be a Mud-troll. Usually found in the more dangerous swamps or mountainous regions, usually like to live in caves and burrows, but come out in the rain. They are small and round, shorter than a man, Bloated and Hunchback for the most part, shuffling on stubby feet, slimey and slippery skin, like to be covered in mud if possible, sometimes wait in the mud with only their eyes visible, peering out over the muddy surface (top of burrow or in a watery swamp). They are a sort of grunt troop/fodder. Not very intelligent, very rudimentary instincts, only real weapon is their razor-sharp teeth, and their tactics of swarming prey to attempt to surround them and devour them. Almost always work in numbers. A lone mud-troll will usually retreat into the swamps to look for others, but in the heat of battle often they will lose sight of the bigger picture and all throwthemselves to die in battle against a superior foe. Equipping them with simple weapons is possible but inefficient, its far better to mutate them (through magic) to give them longer, sharper claws, and faster legs ... so that they can be more effective in combat. In other words, they are the perfect Cannon Fodder for the Sorceror that invests heavily in Magic (including body alteration magic) and doesn't invest well into armor and weapons. Just give the Mutated Mudtrolls some helmets to protect from critical attacks, and send hordes of mud-golems at the enemy while you blast them with your spells. (about 100 mutated muddies(mudtrolls), and 1000 regular ones, for instance)

Very much married, Kuki Singh has many hotels in Pune and a family in Mumbai. Married to ex-journalist Namita and with a daughter, Kuki Singh is being seen frequently with Riya Sen and the duo has also been witnessed cuchi-cooing. However, Miss Sen denies the rumours and says that she maintains friendship with men and does not indulge in romancing. We believe you, Riya (Lol!!).

Who we are
In 2008 we all met at the 1st World Conference of Women's Shelters in Edmonton, Canada.
We – a group of participants of the conference - then started an initiative to found the Global Network of Women's Shelters.
We all had the feeling that our voice – and more importantly the voice of the women and children we served – was not heard enough in the debate about prevention and elimination of Violence Against Women. As a lot of our work is done in safe, secret places, it was important to unite globally to become more visible and speak with a global voice.
And we could not stop talking about our experience, exchanging knowledge and expertise from different parts of the world. We still do…
In 2012 we proudly presented the interim board of the Global Network of Women's Shelters - with members from all over the world - at the 2nd World Conference in Washington DC.
From 2013-2018 Bandana Rana of Nepal was the chair of the Global network of Women's Shelters (see photo).
Since 2018 Chi Hui Jung from Taiwan (Garden of Hope) is the chair.
At the 3rd World Conference two more networks joined GNWS: the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) and the Network of First Nation Women's Shelters.
All of our chairs of the regions/continents took the Call for Action - which was adopted at the Conference- home to their own region/continent.
In between we developed our vision, purpose, goals and the (member)organization we want to become in the near future. We gathered in Ottawa to discuss vision, purpose and future structure.
We had a meeting in New York where we did a presentation during the Meeting of the Commission of the Status of Women and in Amsterdam we we worked on a future membership organization.
In 2015 the GNWS-Foundation was founded in the Hague, with the support of the municipality of The Hague. It is a small office and the work is done by volunteers and active members of the Global Network all over the world. For more information see: Join Us for information about our continental and regional networks.

We are the flames of the fires, the whirling of the winds. We are the waters of the rains and the rivers and the oceans. We are the rocks and the stones. And now by the power invested in me, I declare we are the mighty Ya-Ya priestesses. Let no man put us under.
Now our blood flows through each other as it's done for all eternity. Loyal forever. We raise our voices in the words of Mumbo Gumbo... YA-YA!

Ask anyone familiar with the veg-friendly eatery scene in DC for restaurant recommendations and they'll invariably mention two restaurants: Sticky Fingers Bakery (which I reviewed about a month ago) and Woodland's Vegan Bistro. These two establishments have long reigned over DC's veg restaurant kingdom, and any DC-area vegan, vegetarian, veg-curious folk, or person who enjoys eating fabulous food should prioritize patronizing both of them—perhaps three times each, if they and I share any commonalities.
As I've already introduced you, dear readers, to the delights of Sticky Fingers Bakery, I've reserved this post to discuss the delightfully unexpected fusion of comfort and health food known as Woodland's Vegan Bistro. Formerly named Everlasting Life Café, Woodland's specializes in 100% plant-based versions of traditional soul food dishes including barbeque seitan ribs, fried "fish" sandwiches, mashed maple sweet potatoes, smoky collard greens, and "the best mac & cheese I've ever eaten," according to Katie, my fellow intern at Compassion Over Killing. While I'd definitely consider some of Woodland's more novelty items (veggie country fried steak made of fried yuba skins, anyone?) as occasional treats rather than everyday fare, the restaurant also features a wide array of veggie-heavy prepared salads, green juices, wheatgrass shots, and fruit smoothies that more closely parallel my daily eating habits. Needless to say, Woodland's eclectic blend of vegan noms will astound even the most skeptical of parents who insist upon their adult child's veganism as a "phase," as well as health-conscious folk who scoff at the term "too much kale."
Though I've become a die-hard fan of Woodland's thanks in part to its deeply satisfying fare, the primary reason I ardently support the eatery comes with its success in rendering nourishing, compassionate food accessible to a community most often barred from making such choices. Located in an area of DC populated largely by people of color and low-socioeconomic status, Woodland's offers a welcome alternative to the fast food joints and liquor stores littering this almost-food desert, providing healthful vegan options at affordable prices. Seeing that about 2.3 million Americans live more than one mile away from a grocery store and do not own a car, that wealthy districts boast three times as many supermarkets as do poor ones, that white neighborhoods contain an average of four times as many supermarkets as do primarily black ones, and that the grocery stores in black communities usually lack an adequate selection of fresh produce, taking action against such atrocities to food access has become absolutely imperative, and Woodland's has nobly done so. (Stop by the Food Empowerment Project's website for more information on food justice issues.)
First introduced to Woodland's by their booth at DC's annual Capital Pride festival, I immediately fell head-over-heels in love with the restaurant's sweet kale salad and sticky BBQ soy chick'n drumsticks. This preliminary sampling of Woodland's cuisine ensured that I would venture to their brick-and-mortar establishment with my parents (now vegans of eight months) during the weekend they visited me in DC. Fast-forward a couple weeks, and my parents and I passed through the warmly hued, welcoming atmosphere of Woodland's spacious dining room on our way to the eatery's cafeteria-style food service area. Boasting a hot foods bar, a cold case of prepared salads, a sandwich-ordering station, a dessert display, a juice and smoothie bar, and a soft-serve ice cream machine, Woodland's ready-to-order selection certainly does not skimp on variety or volume.
My father, the true southern boy he is, positively swooned over the restaurant's cornbread muffins and tender collard greens, while I struggled to refrain myself from breaking the glass of the cold case and stuffing my face into the dish of sweet kale salad. (You guys. I'm not kidding around. This kale salad=pure magic.) Meanwhile my mother, understandably overwhelmed by Woodland's tantalizing array, heeded my recommendation of their famous baked mac & cheese.
While undoubtedly scrumptious, the food at Woodland's comes in hefty portions—one plate can easily provide two meals for a single person, thereby rendering Woodland's fare even more cost-effective than do their already quite fair prices. So impressed with his meal of comforting favorites that harkened back to his childhood in Arkansas, my father eagerly purchased a pack of three homemade peanut butter cookies to maintain his energy during our full day of trekking around DC—please enjoy the comical picture of him and his beloved cookies below.
I would encourage anyone in the DC area to sample the impressive fare at Woodland's Vegan Bistro, and to support their endeavors to improve food access in their community. Woodland's latest project, the Woodland's Vegan Bistro To-Go food truck, launches TODAY! (Saturday, August 3) at the 2013 Mustock Festival in Lignum, VA, and plans from then on to serve the streets of DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Follow them on Twitter or like them on Facebook.
Until next time, Ali.

I wish I could write this with a smile, brimming with excitement and enthusiasm, but I can't. I wish I could write so quickly the words are tripping over themselves in their eagerness to get on to the page, but I can't. I wish I could write to build up the tension and then bounce out a secret that just won't stay secret, but I can't. I can't because I don't have good news. If I received a Howler when I wasn't asked for an interview to one of my chosen university's, then the email today should be classed as the Dark Mark.
I'm not going to university this year. I had an interview at my 1st choice university yesterday and today, they confirmed that I didn't make the grade for 2016 entry to their Midwifery degree course.
To say I'm upset would be an understatement. I cried, copiously and with a full on ugly-crying face. Both my parents and Husband got an earful of my sorrow and disappointment this morning. I am shattered, in the way that only comes from crying and having a bit of a wail in despair and sorrow. My glasses are salt spattered and my head is throbbing, despite the copious cups of tea I've forced myself to drink.
Tonight I will eat pizza, watch a movie and re-group, in my head at least. I have other challenges coming up that I need to focus on and when I complete the access course (some time in April, a month ahead of schedule) I'll be able to shut the text books for the last time for a while as I work out my next steps.
I'm sad and frustrated and upset and slightly angry. Right now this decision by the university feels very personal; that I am not good enough, that my hard work just wasn't hard enough. But the rational part of me also knows that there were over 980 applications, for 46 spaces. The competition is fierce and will continue to be. The country has a massive deficit of midwifes, approximately 20, 000 midwives a year that are so desperately needed. I'll be back, I'll re-apply, I'll get there.
So, thank you. For cheering me on, for listening to my rambling about word counts, psychology and biology dramas, for believing in me.

So we headed up to Goderich for Thanksgiving Dinner with family. We took Tina's van because Tina and I could listen to mp3s while the boys watched movies on their DVD players or played games on their Nintendo's. A quick stop in Watford for a bathroom break and some munchies and we were back on the road.
We arrived at Chris and Lisa's to a full house of family – like 58 people or so by the time we arrived. Woah.
Jeremy and Corbin proceeded to play with whomever they could. Jeremy loved the trampoline outside. While Corbin was looking to get in on some video game action, but that took a while. Corbin had his high-energy moments and needed some supervision.
Eventually it was time to eat. And there was lots to eat. Turkey. Ham. Potatoes. Stuffing. Three kinds of salads. Corn. Gravy. And a few more things I left out. In a few ours, there wasn't too much left, save for some turkey, stuffing and salad.
Oh, and there was a table full of deserts. Lots of deserts.
The boys ate and went back to playing.
At some point, Tina and I, thought it was time for the boys to calm down and get ready for bed time. I hung out with Jeremy while he watched a movie. Then he started throwing up. Wonderful. Hey, that looks like a big chunk of ham. Jeremy didn't so much eat his food. He swallowed it.
With Tina's and Lisa's help the sheets were changed and the clothes were in the washer. We put Jeremy in our bed to fall asleep. Moxie, Chris and Lisa's dog wandered in and cuddled up to Jeremy. Eventually, he fell asleep.
The next morning, everyone seemed okay. Jeremy was in much better spirits. Teegan and her cousin Elizabeth, walked to Tim Hortons and got us coffees. We made some breakfast and hung out for a while. We waited for Tina's mom to come over since we were taking her to Windsor with us.
The drive back was uneventful. Drizzly at times. We stopped at a few places to do some geocaching, but Corbin and I were unsuccessful. Next time.
