"There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other." - Douglas H. Everett
Tomorrow is the anniversary of René Magritte's birth so Art Sunday is dedicated to him. René François Ghislain Magritte was born on November 21st, 1898 at Lessines, a province of Hainaut in Belgium. This surrealist artist is renowned and very popular for his thought-provoking images, which sometimes cause amusement, sometimes shock and often wonder and puzzlement.
Magritte started painting at the age of twelve and his father Leopold encouraged him to pursue his artistic endeavours. When Magritte was fourteen, his mother committed suicide due to depression. The young René was greatly affected after seeing her body, with the face covered. This incident in his life is reflected in his early paintings including "Les Amants", in which the persons depicted have their faces covered with cloth.
In 1914, Magritte enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels to study painting and learn about the various techniques employed by the Symbolist artists. There, he became acquainted with many of the then famous artists including Pierre Bourgeois, E.L.T Mesens and Pierre Flouquet. Although he was interested in the futurist movement and cubism, his real inspiration was the surrealist works of Giorgio De Chirico.
After completing his studies at the Academy, he married his long time lover Georgette Berger in 1922. For the next four years he found employment as assistant designer in a wallpaper factory until 1926, and it was at this time that he created his first surrealistic work, "The Lost Jockey". Later in 1927, his first painting exhibition at Brussels received quite adverse criticism, which caused the artist to move to Paris. There, he met André Breton, and subsequently became actively involved in the surrealist movement.
The paintings of René Magritte are considered as a melding of the poetic and philosophical, firmly based on the social as well as intellectual developments of the first half of the twentieth century. Magritte's manner of depicting ordinary items out of context is often referred to as "magic realism" and this dream-like quality makes his art stand apart from other surrealists. René Magritte died at the age of 68 on August 15th 1967, in Brussels of pancreatic cancer.
Magritte in his art, wishes to put an end to our sense of familiarity with the world. Although he depicted ordinary things in his canvases, he modified them with his imagination and presented them in absurd contexts and with such illusory blends and counter-logical associations that very often the viewers are moved to challenge their beliefs and question their frame of reference. Magritte's work is thought provoking and his canvases present visual enigmas, which are sure to puzzle and challenge the spectators. Many contemporary artists have been influenced by the remarkable works of René Magritte.
Illustrated here is a re-working of the "Lost Jockey", this canvas completed in 1942, and obviously based on his 1926 work of the same name. The hallmarks of Magritte's work are evident in this work. The jockey on his racehorse is galloping out of context in a forest of balusters that are sprouting branches. Or it could be a stage, as the drapery on the right implies. Or all of the above! Clearly the jockey is lost, as the title states, but what is the deeper meaning of this work. The spectator is left to resolve the visual riddle on his own without a clue. It could be a statement about the futility of life, or something equally profound, or it could be a prank of the artist… In any case it is a satisfying artwork that bemuses and amuses, challenges and teases, provokes and stimulates!

και vice versa....
This is a wonderful painting and for me is an example of all that surrealism wants to achieve: wonder, mystery, reflection, humour, beauty…ReplyDelete
The Magritte Museum in Brussels is an amazing place, see:
Magritte's work dazzles with its questions and open-ended answers to all pre-conceived concepts of beauty and space in both a physical and metaphorical sense! Wonderful post!ReplyDelete

Hoppy Easter! I'm so excited to share this day with my family and Cash, as Easter was one of my favorite holidays growing up! We'd get up bright and early like it was Christmas, and rummage through our baskets filled with chocolates, markers, and fun little trinkets! Then when we were done with our baskets, we'd search all over the house for the Easter Eggs that the Easter Bunny laid in our home! Our Easter Bunny always left a prize eggs with a crisp $5 bill in it, my brother and I couldn't get open the eggs we'd found fast enough to find out who was the winner of the prize egg! After church on Easter Sunday we would always go to my Grandparents home and meet up with our 2 cousins and have a cousins Easter Egg Hunt as well, this one typically had a $10 or $20 prize egg! This really made us a little competitive, but was so much fun I still smile as I think about those times to this day!
Even though Cash is still very small, and doesn't understand "The Hunt" I still love bringing back family traditions, and reliving some of the best memories of my childhood with Cash, and Egg Hunts are a HUGE part of our Easter tradition. Here are just a few easy tips, to ensure you have a successful and enjoyable egg hunt this year!
1. Count your eggs before you hide them. This will ensure you don't find Easter Eggs full of Ants around your house a few weeks later!
2. Write down your "HARD" hiding spaces. I know for me this is big, I often have a hard time remembering my phone as I'm walking out the door, so I know when hiding Easter Eggs, I want to make sure I don't forget any of the best hiding spots, because most likely those are where I hid the prize eggs. 😉 I quickly jot down any spaces I hid eggs that are out of the ordinary as I'm hiding them, just to make sure all eggs get found!
3. Fill Each Egg with Something. I'm not saying every single Easter Egg needs to have $1 in it, I just mean put a couple jellybeans or small candy in each egg, that way kids don't feel too disappointed if they weren't the ones to find the Easter Eggs. Since I don't want Cash to have too much sugar as an alternative to candy I filled some of our eggs with Annie's Organic Cheddar Bunnies!
4. Fill your eggs and organize them the night before your hide. So you aren't scrambling to find things to fill eggs with, or to actually FIND Easter eggs to hide, the night before Easter Eve get everything ready. Have your eggs filled, and any good hiding spots you've thought of written down ahead of time, so you can just grab the eggs and hide, and not stress on Easter morning or Easter Eve Evening!
5. Take pictures and Enjoy the Moment! This should go without saying, but time really does fly. I still remember wearing hats to church on Easter Sunday because I was a little Baptist girl and that's the day you wear hats. I still remember changing our clothes after church so we wouldn't be too hot during our egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's, and now I'm going over there today to watch MY son hunt eggs with HIS cousins, it's really crazy how quickly things change. So make sure you enjoy the hunt, encourage your children (don't give them too many hints 😉 ), and capture these moments so you have memories forever!

The classic Gimlet is known for its use of a key ingredient: Rose's lime juice. The recipe is designed with this bottled lime juice in mind, so don't be tempted to opt instead for fresh juice—it's one of the rare instances where the bottle trumps the fresh stuff.
2 oz. gin
¾ oz. Rose's lime juice
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: cocktail
Garnish: lime wheel
Combine the gin and lime juice with ice in a shaker and shake until chilled. Strain into a chilled glass and garnish.

Waterproofing to Prepare for Heavy Rains
After the showers that accompany South Africa's warm weather, many of you may have found some water damage left in its wake. Here are a few simple ways to prevent this from happening again in the future with waterproofing paints.
This modified acrylic latex product is formulated to be incorporated into cementitious surfaces. It is the ideal product to improve flexibility and increase adhesion while water/damp proofing whatever it is applied to. Acrylatex is such an effective damp proofing product that it is often used to stop damp rising when constructing fish ponds.
If your walls or floors have suffered heavy water damage, Acrylatex can be used to repair large areas of damage to the surface and prevent it from reoccurring thanks to its flexible nature for long-term durability.
This is the ideal product for if you have experienced water damage on concrete before and need to put an end to it once and for all. Cementek is designed to protect concrete from water, dust and UV rays, so it is an all-round concrete solution to keep it functioning at its best for as long as possible.
It cures and seals at the same time, leaving you with a finished product that can reach its maximum hardness while remaining free from cracks and chips.
If your property has already suffered from water damage, do not fear, there is a way to repair this damage with the help of Dampprime. Paint suppliers have specially formulated this product to hold back rising damp without penetrating the primer. The secret to Dampprime's success is the cement in its production which uses the moisture in the wall to harden and create a water tight barrier. This repairs water damage and prevents any further damage from occurring.
If you are looking to get your home all spiffy before the next rainy season, we would suggest beginning with repairing any water or damp damage. If you leave it till summer you run the risk of further damage. Waterproofing paint will prepare your home for the coming rains and repair any damage.
Take advantage of the dry winter months to prepare your home for the rainy season. Browse our products to see what else you can use to get your home ready for anything.

Divers completed a survey of Honolulu Harbor in the immediate vicinity of the initial release and found no visible evidence of molasses, Tuesday.
The dive survey covered an area on the bottom of the harbor of approximately 200 feet surrounding the source of the initial spill. The diver investigated the areas under the pier around the pilings and along the seabed out into the harbor.
"The seabed under the wharf and into the channel was observed to be in normal condition, with no pools or visual evidence of molasses," Kevin Foster, U.S. Fish and Wildlife marine ecology specialist. "The consensus was that the molasses is no longer in the area."
The dive included a live video feed to the surface where representatives from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service directed and observed the nearly two hour survey.
Water quality appears to be returning to normal visual conditions. Water sampling and testing continues in the harbor and Keehi Lagoon.

If you have mold problems in your home, have you ever asked, 'does an air purifier help with the mold? Many homes in the US, Canada, UK and worldwide face mold infestation and they are looking for solutions.
If the molds and their allergens are contaminating the air in your luxury homes then isn't an air cleaner is the solution? Before we deeper into air purifiers, let us first understand the threat.
What are molds?
The discoloring in our shower curtain, the wispy strands that seem to grow under your kitchen sink, or the patches on your floor – these are the unsightly molds. Molds are fungi that grow anywhere, even in luxury home stuff.
It is made up of small organism called spores. Like all fungi, molds grow on moist surfaces. The grow in number through the spores floating in the air, meaning we are exposed to it all the time.
They can be found everywhere, as in everywhere on earth. Outdoor, molds play an important role in the environment by helping in the decomposition process. In small amount, mold spores are not a threat at all, especially in open spaces.
Are molds a threat?
The answer is yes. The microscopic fungi that grow in your living or work spaces where the air isn't exactly breezy and where it is humid, mold spores pose a serious health problem. Fact is, if you have allergies and respiratory problems, molds can become dangerous.
Landlords and some hotel owners often ridicule the problem; saying it's not much of a concern. That is until someone goes into an anaphylactic shock or has a serious asthma attack.There maybe some who do not think molds are a serious issue, but it actually is.
Click here to watch a? video discussing the many health problems mold spores can cause.
Even just the smell of molds in our homes, schools, offices and workspaces can cause a variety of respiratory complications. Molds produce allergens that can trigger undesirable reactions with your breathing and even your skin. Molds can infect and elicit an undesirable reaction towards both humans and animals.
Many species of mold are actually toxic. Toxic mold is the ones that produce mycotoxins in its spores. Conclusive studies show there is plenty of evidence connecting mold spores exposure and human disease.
The three most dangerous indoor kinds of mold are the Stachybotrys (black mold), Aspergillus, and Penicillium. Click here to find out more about toxic molds in the home.
What happens when one is exposed to toxic mold?
If your home is exposed to elevated levels of indoor mold, you and your family can experience anything from:
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Bleeding lungs
- Breathing difficulties
- Cancer
- Central nervous system problems
- Pneumonitis
- FatigueItching
- Headaches and more.
- Recurring colds
- Chronic coughing
- Coughing up with blood
- Chronic dandruff problems
- Dermatitis
- Skin rashes
- Diarrhea
- Vision impairment
- Hair loss
There are worse conditions that can be caused by exposure to molds. In some cases, the exposed dies. If molds can easily spread around even our luxury homes stuff and they are such a threat, what can we do? This is where air purifiers come in.
Does an air purifier help with mold? The answer is, yes.
How does an air purifier work against molds?
An air purifier or air cleaner is used to clean out the contaminants in the air. Installing an air purifier would be perfect for your homes, office, school and workspaces. The air purifier will filter the air, rid it off of the spores and other substances like second-hand smoke in the rooms it is installed in.
Mold spores are small, between one and five microns in size. Most air purifiers are designed with HEPA filters that are certified and proven to remove all airborne mold spores. High-efficiency particulate air filters force air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles.
Click here to find out more about air purifiers and how they combat mold.
Another way the machines work to purify the air we breathe is through the use of UV-C light and ionic filtration, Basically, with ionic filtration, the airborne particles are charged up and collected on plates with opposite charges.
The gold standard is still stamped on HEPA filters that eliminate mold spores by filtering the airborne spores from the air and trapping them within the HEPA filter.
You need to place the air purifier where mold is frequently found: basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and rooms with upholstered furniture. You also need to have the HEPA filter replaced every now and then, or frequently, as most packages instruct.
Best Air Purifiers for Mold
Many air purifiers are advertised with mold filtering features. But we looked for the best the models and brands that will help you ensure the safety of your family, colleagues, and friends.UK-based site, The Healthy House listed their choice air purifiers and sterilizers.
The top brands they listed are HeavenFresh, Radic8, Airfree and Blueair. According to the Healthy House, these brands have products that not only targets the nasty mold spores but other air contaminants as well.
In an article in the US-based website Gadget Review, contributor Chase Williams named two brands he named best air purifiers as well. Williams also named Blueair as the best air purifier and IQAir as well.
In a nutshell
Despite reports and studies that say air purifiers aren't functional like they are 'can't hurt and may help' appliances or gadgets – the science behind mold and spores and air cleaning devices make sense.
The question, 'Does an air purifier help with mold' can be answered most accurately by the user or by you once you try it out. Studies may be conclusive or otherwise, but your opinion matters to you most. If it can't hurt and might work, then why not try it out?
Making sure your living spaces aren't humid, using a dehumidifier, brightening up dark areas, cleaning thoroughly and using an air filtration system to me is the surefire way to make sure you and your loved ones are not exposed to dangerous molds and mildew.

The cannon at the Fort Wellington National Historic Site in Prescott, Ont. still keeps watch over the St. Lawrence River.
Thanks to a significant makeover by tradespeople employed by BRC Restoration Inc. its defences — including sharp wooden pikes designed to impale both soldiers and horses — will be ready to pass muster once again.
Built by the British government in 1813, the fort served to defend the line of communications between Montreal and Kingston during the War of 1812.
Troops were assembled at the fort to defeat American forces at Ogdensburg, N.Y. that same year. The fort also served as a defensive installation during the Rebellion of Upper Canada and later served as a military depot during the First World War. It was designated a national historic site in 1923.
The contract with site operator Parks Canada is valued at $2.24 million plus HST. The work includes rehabilitation of Fort Wellington's fraising (pointed cedar stakes), spiked wooden palisades, wood-and-earthen revetment wall, the carronade (small cannon) platform, masonry arch and entrance gate.
BRC Restoration has fittingly assembled its own army of as many as 18 stonemasons, carpenters, historical restoration experts and experienced labourers to take on the work, which began in March 2018.
While the logs forming the palisades were initially driven into the ground, the new design preserves both strength and historical appearance while promoting longevity of the new construction.
"We're using historically specified spiked cedar logs 10 to 12 inches in diameter and 10 to 12 feet high," says BRC Restoration vice-president Arran Brannigan. "But instead of supporting the anchor logs by burying them, we're driving helical piles every six feet and then welding steel plates to them. We're then welding HSS posts to the plates and placing cored-out logs over the steel posts. As with the historical design, the remaining logs between the anchor logs are supported by stringers."
The original sharpened logs used for fraising are buried deep into the side of the steep hill leading up to the fort and protrude at a 180-degree angle.
"If the enemy breached the palisade wall and begin the charge up the hill, they would be greeted by these sharpened logs," says Brannigan. "The existing logs are probably a couple of hundred years old and are rotting. We're removing them, excavating around the perimeter of the fort and installing 6,000-pound precast concrete blocks with lengths of HDPE pipe imbedded in them.
"The new cedar logs will be set into the pipe, fastened with collars and then buried at the base. To the eye, the new fraising will perfectly match the historic specs."
The logs are all locally sourced eastern white cedar milled at Ottawa Cedar Lumber Inc. in Cumberland, just outside of Ottawa. All logs were cored and sharpened to impalement standards by the mill.
"They didn't bat an eye when we gave them the specifications," says Brannigan. "For all of us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime project, and everyone was eager to meet the unique requirements of the project."
BRC also sourced square-headed nails to meet historic project specifications.
The revetment wall, an earthen structure supported by a facing of vertical logs, is also being replaced. However, a new precast concrete retaining wall is being buried to retain the earthen load. It will be refaced by a fresh line-up of cedar logs.
Stonework on the fort's limestone archway entrance and carronade is being rehabilitated through repointing and resetting of loose stones. BRC is using only historical lime-based mortars to match the original.
Archeologists have already excavated test pits in work areas to determine that they offer a low likelihood of containing historic artifacts. However, an archeologist has been assigned to observe each new excavation.
Fort Wellington is scheduled to be ready to repel invaders once again in spring 2019.

Map of Original British Mandate of Palestine which was to have been the home of the Jewish People following WWI
By BRET STEPHENS
Wall Street Journal
Nov. 10, 2015
In the history of political clichés, has there ever been one quite so misjudged as the line—some version of which is attributed either to Israel's martyred Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin or fabled Defense Minister Moshe Dayan—that "you make peace with your enemies, not with your friends"?
OK, "give peace a chance" and "nation building at home" are worse. But the Rabin-Dayan line is an expression of the higher mindlessness that passes for wisdom among people who think they are smart. After Monday's make-nice session between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it's time for a reconsideration.
To wit: You do not make peace with enemies. You make peace with former enemies—either because you have defeated them, as we defeated the Axis Powers in World War II; or because they collapse, as the Soviet Union did after the fall of the Berlin Wall; or because they have defeated you and you're able to come to terms with the outcome from a safe distance. Witness Vietnam.
On rare precious occasions, both sides realize their interests are best served through a negotiated settlement they're prepared to honor. That was the miracle of 1977, when Egypt's Anwar Sadat flew to Israel to show he sincerely accepted the Jewish state's right to exist. He paid for the gesture with his life.
Enemies, however, do not make peace. They may desist from open combat, as Pakistan and India have, even as Islamabad continues to support anti-Indian terrorist proxies. They may arrange a long-term armistice of the kind South Korea has with the North. But that's a peace preserved by 700,000 active-duty South Korean and U.S. troops, plus a million land mines in the DMZ.
For the past 22 years—ever since Rabin signed the Oslo Accord with the PLO's Yasser Arafat—Israel has been trying to achieve something historically unprecedented: To make peace with an enemy that shows no interest in becoming an ex-enemy.
Daniel Polisar, an Israeli political scientist, recently published a fascinating study in Mosaic magazine of Palestinian public opinion based on 330 polls conducted over many years. It makes for some bracing reading.
"When asked hypothetically if Israel's use of chemical or biological weapons against Palestinians would constitute terror, 93 percent said yes," notes Mr. Polisar. "But when the identical question was posed regarding the use of such weapons of mass destruction by Palestinians against Israelis, only 25 percent responded affirmatively."
Other details: A 2011 poll found that 61% of Palestinians thought it was morally right to name Palestinian streets after suicide bombers. In December 2014, 78% of Palestinians expressed support for "attempts to stab or run over Israelis" in the West Bank and Jerusalem. Only 20% were opposed. Palestinians have also consistently supported terrorist attacks against Israelis within Israel's original borders, "often by as much as six to one."
Palestinians routinely blame Israel for problems over which it has no control, such as the bloody 2007 coup through which Hamas wrested power from Fatah in the Gaza Strip. Ninety-four percent of Palestinians report a "very unfavorable" opinion of Jews. A majority of Palestinians believe Israel will "destroy the al-Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques and build a synagogue in their place."
As for the idea of sharing the land, only 12% of Palestinians agreed that "both Jews and Palestinians have rights to the land." More than 80% felt "this is Palestinian land and Jews have no rights to it." Most Palestinians also think Israel won't be around in 30 or 40 years, either "because Arab or Muslim resistance will destroy it" or on account of its "internal contradictions."
Where is the sense in agreeing to relinquish through negotiations what is yours by right today and will be yours in deed tomorrow?
None of this is helped by Palestinian leaders who, when not inciting violence or alleging Israeli conspiracies, are peddling the lie that Israel is creating an apartheid state. The only person standing in the way of Palestinian democracy is Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who hasn't held an election in a decade. The only force standing in the way of a Palestinian state are the Palestinian people, who think they can gain their rights by stabbing their neighbors.
Which brings us back to Monday's Oval Office meeting. Along with the forced bonhomie, the administration has been sounding the usual two-minutes-to-midnight warnings about the supposed end of the two-state solution. "For Israel, the more there is settlement construction, the more it undermines the ability to achieve peace," says Ben Rhodes, the deputy national security adviser, in an interview with Haaretz.
How sweet it would be if all Israel had to do to make peace was dismantle its settlements. How much sweeter if the American president would find less to fault with an Israeli government's housing policies than a Palestinian political culture still so intent on killing Jews. If Mr. Obama wants to know why he's so disliked by Israelis, there's the reason.
II Who Owns the "West Bank"?
From: FLAME July, 2015
The ancient lands of Judea and Samaria, east of Jerusalem, have been part of the Jewish homeland for 3,000 years.
Today Arabs demand all of it.
Judea and Samaria, the land where Jewish ancestors Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rachel, David and Solomon created Biblical history, was renamed the "West Bank" during Jordan's brief, illegal 19-year occupation. Today, some 380,000 Jews own land and live in the territory, yet their rights are denied by Palestinian Arabs.
What are the facts?
"Israel has an irrefutable legal claim to these territories backed by the 93-year-old Mandate for Palestine."
Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the Allied Powers, which were the only parties with the right or power to resolve ownership of vast tracts of the Middle East, allotted to the Jewish people the land west of the Jordan River, including Judea and Samaria.
This resolution, made at the San Remo Conference, was effected through the Mandate for Palestine, which was adopted by the League of Nations in 1922 and assumed by the United Nations in 1948. This document, based on "the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine," secured "the establishment of the Jewish national home." Nothing since 1922 has changed the legal status of those internationally binding documents.
Much of the land allocated to the Jews, including most of Judea and Samaria, was taken from them by Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Syria following Israel's War of Independence in 1948, when the Jewish state was attacked by those Arab nations—the latter three of which were also established by the Mandate for Palestine. Jordan illegally seized the "West Bank" and east Jerusalem, and expelled all Jews from these Biblical homelands.
In fact, the territories of Judea and Samaria have never been part of any nation except the Jewish state. In 1967, when it was again attacked by Arab armies, Israel defeated the invaders and recovered the occupied "West Bank" from Jordan. It should be noted that during Jordan's occupation of the "West Bank," no Arab Palestinian movement emerged in favor of independence. Indeed, it wasn't until Israel reclaimed the land and Jews returned to their ancestral home that claims of Jewish "occupation" were raised.
Today, most land in present-day Judea and Samaria is not privately owned, but rather is unsurveyed—without proven ownership. Israel claims about 30% of the public land in the territory. However, the Supreme Court of Israel has ruled that unsurveyed land in Judea and Samaria can be acquired by Arabs who cultivate it consistently.
Arabs, through deed and cultivation rights, own about 95% of private land in the territory. Jews, however, are not granted similar rights, so Jewish farming on unsurveyed land does not entitle Jews to private ownership. Nonetheless, Jews own about 5% of all private land in Judea and Samaria.
Israel offers land for peace. Israel has a clear, millennia-old historical claim to Judea and Samaria, and it reacquired the territories defending itself against an aggressive war. In addition, Israel has an irrefutable legal claim to these territories backed by the 95-year-old San Remo Resolution. Nonetheless, recognizing that its claims are disputed by Arab neighbors, the Jewish state has shown uncommon willingness to share the land.
Starting in 1967, following the Six-Day War, Israel (In its own stupidity and desperation for peace) has offered to give up almost all the land it controls in the "West Bank"—plus a Palestinian capital in the eastern part of Jerusalem—in exchange for peace. Unfortunately, despite numerous such land-for-peace overtures by Israel, including two most recently in 2000 and 2008, the Arabs have consistently rejected them.
Not only do the Arabs reject any Jewish claims to land in Judea and Samaria, they have also insisted during peace negotiations that the territory be made judenrein—free of Jews. Worse, many Palestinian Arabs, such as the terror group Hamas, maintain that the entire land of Palestine—from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, including all of Israel and the "West Bank"—belongs only to Arabs. Today, official Palestinian maps do not depict the state of Israel.
How will the dispute over Judea and Samaria be resolved? Over Israel's 67 years, it has become a world-class cultural, economic and military power. Its standard of living is among the highest in the Middle East. Clearly the Jewish state is here to stay. Yet despite its strength, Israel has shown willingness to negotiate and exchange land for peace. Sadly, this willingness has not been matched by Palestinian leadership. Until such negotiations are consummated, the "West Bank" will remain in dispute—a no-man's land in which claims of ownership remain cloudy and contested.
While Israel has clear rights to ownership of Judea and Samaria—also known as the "West Bank"—it has taken a practical position, offering to trade those rights and that land for peace with its Arab neighbors. As of yet, however, tragically, no Palestinian leader has been willing to compromise his people's unrealistic expectation that all of Palestine—from the river to the sea—belongs only to Arabs.
FLAME is the only organization that defends Israel with paid editorial hasbarah messages placed in media nationwide every month: The dire threats from Iran, Hamas and Hizbollah, the injustice of BDS, Palestinian anti-Semitism and more.

U, Robot sat in a room.
(As will be learned later, it is here that U stopped reading)
It was a big room, not that size was important, which it wasn't. After all, the size of the room had nothing to do with the size of the robot, nor with how important the robot was, which it was. The robot, I mean.
So, the robot sat in the room. Well not sat, really, at least not the way people sit. I mean, its body, well what a robot means when it says "body", had adopted the position of sitting, although, really, it wasn't sitting on anything. Really, its feet were on the floor, its knees bent, back straight, and all that. Just like sitting, except there was no chair. Not even a bench. It was sitting, though, on the power tube because, well, it had to. After all, it got its power from the power tube. And the power tube was just a tube filled with power that stuck up out of the floor upon which, well, the robot sat.
In the room were an astounding number of power tubes, but amazingly only one robot. The tubes stood up as straight as straight is, exactly thirty-two inches tall and thick as a fist. There were exactly eight-hundred and fifty power tubes, arranged in ten rows of eighty-five. The robot called them editing stations. Occasionally the robot would slowly raise itself from one, stand, take three medium steps down the line, and sit on the next one. When it stood, the vacuum seal would go shtuk when it released and then hiss slightly as the pent-up gasses escaped. The robot referred to this as unshtukking, and would laugh about it with the other robots at the robot bar. "Har Har" they would laugh, "Har Har." The robot bar also had power tubes upon which not to sit. But in the totally unremarkable room where it worked, when it came to the end of the row, it crossed to the next one. When it came to the last editing station in the room, it went home, or to the bar. And that was that.
What else about the room, besides the power tubes? Well, in front of each power tube was a table. Just a standard, metal, shining table like most other tables. Nothing spectacular, out of the ordinary, or unfamiliar. Thus, like the power tubes, there were an astounding number of tables in the room, but still amazingly only one robot. Between each station was just a few feet of space. The robot called this space between the stations the interzone. The room, otherwise, was unremarkable, and neither astounding nor amazing. It was so nondescript, in fact, that you would be overfamiliar with it.
(Again, robot, stop reading. You should have done so already!)
Now the robot, at each station, performed a different function. The first was the opening station, where it opened. The second was the taking out station, where it took out. The third was the laying it neatly upon the table station where it laid it neatly upon the table. The fourth was the shaking out the envelope station, and here it shook out the envelope. The station after that was the most important one of all: the is there any money in the envelope station. This station was only slightly more important than the next most important station, which was the sixth station — the name recognition station — whereat the robot recognized names. But, I'll tell you about that one later.
And so on. I'm sure you get the point by now. It was an analog robot, and that should explain everything. One thought at a time, and only one.
(Robot, I'm trying to make this easier for you.)
Right now, the robot was sitting at the fifty-third editing station in the third row. This was the counting station, and the robot was counting words which was one of the major functions of the robot, and at which it had excelled in robot school, where it had learned all that it had learned, which was quite a bit. For a robot, that is. The robot called this the word count. And this is the way it went. Beginning with the first word, which the robot called one, it then went on to the next word, assigning it the number two. After completing two, it called the next word three. This complicated process continued in a similar (well not similar really, it was actually rather exact) fashion all the way through until the last word waiting to be counted had been counted, and this was hardly ever the same from day to day. Sometimes the last word was a number such as 8,496 or 10,564 or 23,798. Once it even had a count which ended at the astounding and amazing number of 9,991, and this had happened only once! It goes without saying that this was good because it was different.
However, it was not the case with this word count, which arrived at the totally unremarkable number of 2,647.
(Again, Robot, here is another place for you to stop. See? I am thinking of you!)
As the robot quickly recalled, thanks to the power tube upon which it was shtuk, this number had been arrived at before. Upon this determination, the robot reached forward to the very center of the metal table and depressed the very large and redly conspicuous button. Then, the following things happened: a gear turned, a wheel spun, four shutters opened in the windows along the east wall, the floor vibrated briefly, and the coffee pot turned itself off. Then, from the ceiling above, fluttered down a small yellow piece of paper, which the robot deftly caught from the air. The paper was exactly square, and had an ingenious strip of stickiness on one side which conveniently allowed it to be fixed to almost anything. The robot pressed this onto the paper containing the totally unremarkable number of words it had just counted, and deftly wrote rejected upon it. Then the robot neatly placed the paper upon the metal table. These actions filled the robot with a deep sense of satisfaction for having successfully completed another editing decision. Therefore, the robot unshtuk itself, crossed the interzone three paces and shtuk itself atop the comma station, which directly preceded the semi-colon station, which in turn was set before the dangling modifier station, which was just before the agreement station, which anticipated the misspelling station, which lay directly before the fragment station. And on, all the way through the complete and collected editions of Warriner's finer points of middle school grammar, having been the only text the builders of the room had consulted before construction began. It was, after all, a publishing house, see?
(As you see, Robot, up to this point I have been sure to include many opportunities for you to exercise your trade.)
By the end of each day, the robot will have worked all the way through each of the 850 editing stations, and having rejected most of what it found at them, it will unshtuk itself from the last and most important of all stations, the condescending letter of rejection station, cross the interzone to the door which led out of the large room and do two things. The first thing it would do is to throw the lever on the right side of the door. Immediately after this, the room would change. Here is what happened: First, a large grinding noise would occur for approximately thirteen seconds. The robot knew this because it had once counted the exact seconds the sound lasted, and had done this for exactly forty-seven consecutive days, setting all other work aside to do so. On the forty-eighth, the robot had concluded that the duration of the sound was exactly the same each day. After thirteen seconds, the lights would dim minutely as the power transferred to the conveyor plates which moved the tables exactly one station forward. The movement ended in a peculiar whining noise, not unlike a whipped dog (the genesis of which the robot had never ascertained), a jolt, and a bump. Thus did the papers neatly placed upon each table navigate the room. Each paper's journey lasted exactly 850 days, or six weeks in robot time.
The second thing that the robot did at the door leading out of the large room was turn out the light.
But that was at the end of the line, at station 850. The 849th station was the reading station, where the robot read the papers. That was why it was called the reading station. Here the robot looked at each word, and read each sentence, or at least the robot read the first sentence. Perhaps not even that, if the paper hadn't made it successfully through the other 848 stations, and had been stuck with the little yellow square of paper. And to return to a point that was earlier put off, here is where the names it recognized were immediately forwarded. These papers got to skip all those other stations, which sometimes caused a bit of a backlog because, necessarily, they were by definition, accepted.
And here it sat, at the 849th station as we see it now reading the paper in front of it. This paper began with the words: In the nighttime heart of Beirut, in one row of general-address transfer booths, Louis Wu flicked into reality. That was enough of that for the robot knew immediately two things about this paper. The first was that it rejected it. The second was that it was right for doing so. After all, it was the robot that made the decision. So it pushed the button, deftly caught the yellow square of paper, stuck it to the paper before it, and wrote the word it has had to write. It was a common word (all too common, I'm afraid). And felt really good about it.
(How do you feel right now, Robot?)
So it unshtuk itself, crossed the interzone to the condescending rejection letter station, and shtuk itself there. Here it completed the final part of the process for the paper beginning with the words On this day I want to tell you about, which will be a thousand years from now, there were a boy, a girl, and a love story. Nodding its head in certain certainty of yesterday's second-from-last editing decision, it printed out of its printer a different piece of paper. As it always did, it read admiringly of it own creation. The only thing it had ever printed, in fact, was this. It admired its prose as it skipped through the lines. It paused at the appropriate one, reading A great many of the ideas that may seem innovative to a newcomer are in fact overfamiliar to readers more experienced… and here he was sure that a boy, a girl, and a love story were familiar to it, overly so in fact. Thus it hadn't had to read the whole paper.
Then it took the two papers, placed them in an envelope, and sealed it. On its way out, having thrown the lever and turned out the light, it dropped the envelope in the mail slot to be returned to whomever had sent it, not having recognized the name.
(Robot, do you know my name?)
The next day, having arrived at the reading station, it read the words One day Trurl the constructor put together a machine that could create anything starting with n. Having noted, previously, at the comma station, the lack of correct punctuation in the first sentence of the paper, it read no further. And moved on to shtuk itself upon the condescending rejection letter station where it promptly dealt with the paper from the day before.
The next day, the robot examined this paper: It happened upon my fifth trip into the spaces, and the first ever made under the private-enterprise acts. And rejected that because the sentence made no sense whatsoever, thereby showing a certain lack of familiarity with the tools of the trade, which even an electrician must have. Unshtuk and shtuk. The day after that it read this one: First hint I had we'd been spotted by a crusoe was a little tick coming to my moonsuit from the miniradar Pete and I were gaily heaving into position near the east end of Gioja crater to scan for wrecks, trash, and nodules of raw metal. This paper had been flagged at both the definite article station and the this isn't a real word station, so the robot barely shtuk itself for thirty seconds before unshtukking. And the next day, it read: He drank alone which sounded like an old rock song. Unshtuk and shtuk. And the next day: Old Dr. Full felt the winter in his bones as he limped down the alley. Unshtuk and shtuk. Because it just felt like going to the robot bar, and really didn't have any obligation to explain its decision-making process to anyone. Har. Har.
At the reading station, the next day, the robot came across this: the perfect paper. And this caused the robot to act differently. Because it was the perfect paper, it had not one square of yellow paper upon it. And it was clean, that is clean for two reasons. The first was that it did not have a yellow square of paper stuck to it. The second was that there was nothing on it. Not one word. Nothing. It was blank and unremarkable, which of course made it different and remarkable for its unremarkableness. And this caused the robot to do something that it hardly ever did, and in fact which it had not done at all this month, and had never done before.
(Perhaps, Robot, having read this far despite my urgings, you will have to continue to find out what it is that happens now. Be wary, Robot, of what lies beyond this point. I cannot speak to the consequences of your further reading. I cannot tell what might happen.)
With trembling, metal fingers, caused by the sudden surge of power up the power tube upon which it was shtuk, the robot gently lifted the paper and read it again. When it had finished the reading, it repeated it, and then again. Each time it read it, the robot noted, the paper was different, and meant something that it had not meant before. And though the narrative expressed there was short, it was deep, and drew parallels to every electric dream and analogic desire the robot held in its metal mind. The paper gave it insight into itself the way no other paper ever had, as if the words that were not upon it were the very same words that the robot itself would choose to not place upon it were the robot to choose not to place such words upon a paper for itself, which it wouldn't. But could it not, it would not, were it so inclined. And though it wasn't so inclined, the possibility existed that it might not, and that was enough for the robot to reach for the rarely used, and not mentioned up to this point, green button placed only upon this of all the 850 unremarkable metal tables in the large room. And this button, so rarely pressed it was stiff and unyielding, and whose plastical parts groaned and protested with torturous slowness, when finally depressed did so only under mechanical duress. And such a special and rare button it was, it had a further function, one which the robot here depressing it had no knowledge of.
(This is your last chance, Robot, to get while the getting is good.)
It published the paper. *

West Papua is occupied by Indonesia since soon after independence. While the agreement of independence of Indonesia placed West Papua still under provisional Dutch control, the newborn Malay state soon managed to annex West Papua, which has no Malay native population, just as they did with East Timor, then under Portuguese control. The USA and UN were instrumental in this undemocratic transaction.
A new imperialism replaced the old one.
Since then low intensity guerrilla has existed in West Papua. The deposition of Suharto, that allowed East Timor to break free, saw no significant change in the conflict of West Papua, still oppressed by Indonesian imperialism, which is speeding up the colonization of the island by ethnic Malays.
Australian, Papuan and Melanesian activists, most of them Aboriginal, set sail yesterday from Cairns in what is an act of cultural-political defiance to Indonesian oppression, described as Aboriginal cultural exchange.
Indonesia has denied visa or authorization for the boat to sail in its waters and the participants acknowledge that they could even been shot down by the Navy. More likely is that they get arrested and jailed for years. That's what happened to several Australians who entered West Papua years ago without visa.

New: Mary J. Blige, "Nobody V2"
Hear the latest from The London Sessions
After hearing the Disclosure & Sam Smith-featuring "Right Now", we were expecting tons of more club beats to accompany Mary J. Blige's famous vocals. After all, her album is called The London Sessions. And while our second taste of the album, "Whole Damn Year" was more of a heart-felt R&B ballad in the school of Adele, her latest, "Nobody V2" provides us with another solid dance anthem. Let's hope there's more of these on there, maybe even a collab with Gorgon City? We can dream, right? Listen to "Nobody V2" below; The London Sessions drops on November 24th via Capitol.

A refurbished Woodburn Road athletics track was this morning unveiled as part of major redevelopment of the condemned Don Valley Stadium, where Ennis took up the sport and still trains.
The decision to close and demolish the £29million Don Valley Stadium as part of council cost-cutting measures drew criticism from Minichiello, as well as Ennis, but today he gave the new plans a warm welcome.
''Certainly from the athletics point of view, I think it's a superb plan,'' he told Press Association Sport at a news conference at Sheffield's English Institute of Sport.
''You are looking at a substantially larger investment into the Woodburn Road track and an indoor facility there, which is more than I could have hoped for.
''It would have been lovely to keep the stadium but last week there was no future for athletics in Sheffield and now there is.
''I think it gives us a real future for athletics in Sheffield.''
The Woodburn Road proposal is part of a £40million development to transform the Don Valley area.
It includes a high-performance centre and new homes for Sheffield Eagles and Titans rugby union clubs, but the Woodburn Road plan is for a stand-alone athletics facility.
''We are talking about 2,000 seats,'' Minichiello said. ''I think it's incredibly practical. It gives us an athletics site, it's not a shared site.
''We've had difficulties in the past when it comes to sharing facilities with rugby and other sports but now we're going to have a venue that is purely for athletics.
''Let's hope the feasibility study comes together and we can make it happen.''
Ennis, who was crowned Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year in Rio last night, has pledged her support to the development.
''If you see Woodburn Road at the moment, it is in a terrible state and it needs to be done properly,'' she said in Rio.
''It needs a lot of work doing to it, but if we get the funding to do it, it will be good.
''I'm looking forward to hearing more about it and seeing how it develops and what it is going to be like. I am happy to have input and offer bits of advice where I can.''
Minichiello added this morning: ''We'd both make ourselves available for any sort of advice to support a project like this.
''It isn't about Jess and Jess' athletics, it's about the next six-year-old that's now out there on the track.
''That's the generation that's been inspired by Jessica and by the Olympics.''
Elsewhere, Steph Twell will continue her comeback from injury at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Bydgoszcz on Sunday week after being named in a 23-strong Great Britain and Northern Ireland team.
Twell, who had her right ankle pinned following a triple fracture in 2011, suffered a stress fracture to the same foot last summer and missed out on selection for the London 2012 Olympics.
Frank Tickner, who won the world trials in Birmingham, will make his third senior appearance at the event and will be joined in the men's line-up by Steve Vernon, Michael Skinner, Phil Nicholls and Jonathan Taylor.
Twell is joined in the women's team by Louise Damen, who took the senior women's title at the world trials, Gemma Steel, Elle Baker, Emily Wicks and Lauren Howarth.

Commanded To Shine. RCCG Open Heavens. Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye. Daddy G O
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
Ephesians 5:8-14
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Light and darkness are antithetical. While light is welcome by everyone, darkness is shunned and rejected. Light is an illuminating agent. It affects everything and without it, there will be no life. Light is mostly used when referring to goodness and godliness. 1 John 1:5 reveals to us that God is light. This means whoever is born of God must reflect the attributes of light. A keen study of light reveals many attributes which believers should endeavour to reflect. One of such attributes is the wave. Simply put, a wave is a disturbance. Whoever is born of God is light, and because light has the nature of a wave, his or her life must be a disturbance to the works of darkness everywhere. Acts 4:15-17 is a classical example of a situation where believers reflected this attribute of light. Are you born of God? Then your life should challenge both the works and the workers of darkness. Another attribute of light is force. Light as a force causes movement or change. Everyone that is born of God is expected to shine by provoking positive change. You should be able to cause positive change and movement to the glory of God. You are expected to be a strong force of progress in your home, family, community, society, place of work, church and nation.
There is no denying the fact that light is life. Light is life to both plants and animals. While animals rely on plants and (sometimes) other animals for existence, green plants turn carbon dioxide and water into food using energy obtained from the light radiating from the sun. This process is known in biology as photosynthesis. Every child of God should radiate light and life, because in Jesus is life which is the light of men. John 1:4 says:
"In him was life; and the life was the light of men."
As a Christian, you have life, and this life is eternal. Moreover, this life is capable of making all impossibilities become possible. Going through Luke 10:19, we can deduce that light is power. Are you born of God? Rejoice! In you resides the power that upholds all things (Hebrews 1:3). You have been empowered by God to do the unimaginable for Him. I pray that no sickness, darkness or evil shall rule over you. Light reveals. Implicitly, light reveals specific information about a matter. The good news is that you should no longer operate in ignorance, because light exposes hidden things (Ephesians 5:13). Finally, light travels in a straight line. This denotes integrity, faithfulness and trustworthiness. If we operate as light, we will not be perverse or crooked in our ways.
Prayer Point:
Father, help me to always reflect all the attributes of light.
May God Bless Nigeria, America And Israel And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!
May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Melbourne Victory was held to a 2-2 draw by Ballarat City in the PlayStation 4 NPL2 West on Saturday.
Despite an early goal from Brandon Jansz, Victory fell behind at Epping Stadium after a Shaun Romein penalty and Nelson Salvatore strike.
But Callum Goulding levelled just after the half-hour mark, and neither team was able to find another goal in the Round 27 clash.
Victory head coach Gareth Naven said he was satisfied with his team's performance despite the draw.
"I said to the boys after the game that I was happy with their performance and their intentions in regards to bringing the ball forward and some stuff that we've worked on during the last couple of weeks in training situations where we can get crosses into certain areas," he said.
"I think that reflected really well. And also some other things such as third-man runs, which you don't see very often or don't see executed which enabled us to score a goal today which was nice to see and nice for players to recognise that situation.
"I think the boys had good attitudes and good intentions in attacking areas to try their best to score and obviously always doing that all the time, especially in the second half.
"We had numerous chances where we could've converted those chances into goals.
"In saying that, the Achilles' heel for us and the Achilles' heel for all youth players is defending, even though I thought at times we defended and scrambled really well at the back, especially in set-pieces against us and in one v one situations as well.
"But those are always going to be challenges for our team and I think those light bulbs are starting to click on a bit within our group to understand that we need to master that."
Jansz gave Victory the perfect start, his scrappy goal putting the host 1-0 up.
But Ballarat responded, a Romein penalty followed by a goal from Salvatore giving it a 2-1 lead.
However, Victory equalised thanks to Goulding, who finished well from just inside the area after Nicholas Hatzigeorgiou and Pierce Waring combined.
Both teams had late chances but failed to convert as they shared the spoils.
Earlier, Victory's under-20s secured the title thanks to a 4-1 win over Ballarat City.
Victory finishes the season with a trip to Brunswick City on Saturday, August 26.

Today I have decided to share with you something
that I have started nearly 9 years ago.
Something that might be needed right now even more than before.
Here it is ...
10th October 2004 (Sydney, Australia)
Hi ... my name is Olga.
If you value harmony and peace, please allow me to share this short story with you.
The other day I watched a very inspiring movie based on a true story titled "The Last Brickmaker in America". It not only brought tears into my eyes, but also an idea into my heart.
We often do not pursue our ideas for one or another reason, so they stays locked in our heart like a caged bird whose song may only be heard by one person. But if this bird was to be set free, more people would have a chance to enjoy his song.
About two years ago I was preparing material for a new one-day workshop.
I ended up with so many ideas that it became impossible to condense them into a seven-hour time frame, and consequently it was easier for me to place it into a "too hard basket".
The earlier mentioned movie had not only reminded me of the essence that I had planned to convey through this particular workshop ...
"Just because of our weaknesses and imperfections
we should not stop ourselves from sharing our strengths with others.
The more we focus on sharing our strengths,
the more our weaknesses and imperfections will dissolve in the process."
... but it also prompted me to act on it!
An invitation ...
... to embrace my simple idea on sharing our strengths.
At first:
Extend three acts of kindness to strangers.
These acts can be very simple...
- help a mum to carry a pram up the stairs
- help to catch someone's hat blown away by the wind
- if you see a car in a shopping centre car park with the lights left on,advise the information desk of the registration number
The number "three" is only symbolic and you may choose to do more or less acts of kindness, or adopt this as an annual ritual.
There is no copyright on this idea, although may I ask you for one thing ...
Please, let the intentions behind it to remain pure and unconditional.
Once you open your heart, you will see many opportunities.
When you have extended an act of kindness, please forward this letter to another person. However it is important that you forward this letter (or print and drop to someone's letter box) after you have conducted your act of kindness, as this will increase a positive energy held by it.
Think of the act of kindness as a stamp required for posting/emailing of this letter.
My wish:
I would love you to share with me any special experiences that have arisen from your participation in acts of kindness with hope of gathering enough stories to create a blog, and to allow your words (with your permission) to inspire even more people into extending their acts of kindness ... just one of the strengths we all have in us!
Please remember that every act of kindness offered by you will help to rebuild harmony on our planet, just like every water drop will help to create more rain. A multitude of small actions is often by far more powerful and lasting than one big one.
Thank you! firstname.lastname@example.com
Love & light,
Now, I would like to give you a link to something as special
as the icing on the cake ...

David scored for local rivals Scunthorpe United in their 3-0 win over Rochdale in New years Day.
In Thursday's press conference Brian Horton was asked about the possibility of David coming back to Rovers.
Brian said; "We was discussing Syers the other day and he has scored another good goal yesterday, we will continue to talk because we have got a 24 hour recall clause in Dave's contract.
"When the staff get together today we will be talking about that."

A quiet day, as per usual on Sunday. The Hebridean Celtic Festival is over, the last performances took place last night. The big tent remains on the lawn of Lews Castle, but will probably be taken down tomorrow. The area around it is fenced off and closed to the public as all the equipment is still on site. I went for a walk round to the Castle, and was able to walk down the shore road to Cuddy Point. It being Sunday, the area was busy with walkers and cyclists.
Tributes have been flooding in since yesterday in memory of Fr Calum Maclellan, the parish priest of Eriskay. Although he is known to many as one of the three priests featured in the Island Parish TV series, his achievements span many of his 86 years.
The drought conditions have sparked another major wildfire, this time just outside the village of North Tolsta, some 15 miles northeast of Stornoway on the east coast of the island. In contrast to the rest of the UK, the Outer Hebrides are crying out for rain, which has been in short supply since the middle of May. We have only had about an inch of rain over two months. A month ago, four wildfires wreaked havoc in the Castle Grounds.
The fire was in the area of woodland, shown at the centre of the map below.

I guess for most people it would be tomorrow, but its been July 14 for about an hour or two and I'm just too excited to sleep.
I tried going to bed twice but I'm having a little trouble shutting my mind off.
Unless I come up with a last minute brain wave, I've packed my bags with everything I'll be taking with me. There is a lot of stuff I'd rather not leave behind, but I guess its in my interests to travel a bit lighter. I keep wondering what my life will be like just a few weeks from now. For the past few months I've been thinking about this little adventure, and now that its almost here I still can't bring it into clear focus.
Reading usually helps me think more clearly, and I started a Michael Connelly book on the ferry the other day, so I expect I'll be spending a lot of time with Harry Bosch over the next 24 hours trying to figure out who the serial killer is; considering the long flight and time waiting in airports, I might be finished the book by the time I land.
The last few weeks have been mostly devoted to getting the hay off the field, which still isn't finished. There are still three or four loads of hay on the last field below the house. I'm feeling pretty strong now after throwing hay bails for two weeks; its not really enough time to get ripped but my arms definitely feel longer after lugging around and stacking some of those heavy ones. I'm not sure what the final count will be, but its one of the best years in a long time and dad should have no problem with the last few hundred bails – last week, we were wondering if there would be places to put all of it.
I really should be sleeping right now because I'll need to catch an early ferry off Denman Island to connect to my flight from Nanaimo to YVR; that will get me to the airport 3 hours before I my flight to Glasgow, Scotland around 1 pm. It'll be around 6 am local time when I land on Thursday. I'll be in Edinburgh later the same day. I've never been able to sleep very well on airplanes, and its quite possible I won't sleep again for more than a few minutes until Thursday night.
While I wait for my train in Glasgow, I'll be sure to grab lunch and a pint of a strong local beer – get this trip started right.

Every student enrolled at Queen Marys College is automatically a member of the Students' Union (see the SU Constitution here). The Students' Union is run by students, for students and exists to represent the interests of students at QMC and to organise social events. The Students' Union is affiliated with the National Union of Students (NUS) so students can benefit from NUS membership and take advantage of discounts in high street stores across the UK.
The executive committee are elected representatives of the whole student body who work to make sure student views are represented. Every year they organise social events and a summer ball for students and staff. These events have an excellent turnout and are great fun.
The Students' Union here at QMC, promote and run a number of events throughout each year.
Every half term, the Students' Union host a Student Voice meeting in which other students are invited along to express their views on college life. These meetings usually have a member of college staff along to answer questions from a particular area. These have included the catering manager, library supervisor, premises coordinator and the principal.
These meetings have concluded with some of the following new initiatives:
- Extended café opening times
- A review of the college catering menu for students, including adding vegan options
- A new pool cover has been purchased through SU funds, saving the college around £10,000 a year in energy costs
- Purchasing new benches for the college site, and new chairs for the café
- New lights have been put up along the service roads to help students leaving college in the dark
- Raised awareness of having cross-college Wi-Fi, which has been a welcomed addition
- Improved recycling amongst students
The Students' Union has also raised money for Comic Relief, Sport Relief, Macmillan, Children in Need, National Aids Trust and Terence Higgins amongst others. As well as this the Students' Union have helped with Anti-Bullying Week, Sexual Health Awareness Week, Saving the Beagles and the Christmas Jumper Appeal.
The Students' Union can be found in their office outside the library, and are here to help and support their fellow students at QMC. They can also be:
Emailed at [email protected]
Telephone 01256 417500 extension 6150.
You can also keep up to date with the Students' Union by 'liking' their Facebook page.

A List Of Unique Topic Suggestions For A Cause And Effect Essay
An essay is not always going to be a straight recitation of facts. Learning experience in writing comes from being able to explain the idea, do a compare and contrast between one or more subjects, or explain the consequences of certain behaviors. A cause-and-effect assignment will look at a given subject and track it from its origins to final outcomes. It is why something exists and what the consequences of it are. This requires the writer to examine the facts of the beginning and of the end, explaining what happened, all along the way. Here are some cause-and-effect topics.
- What effect does television have on child cognitive skills?;
- Effect college has on later income;
- How blended marriages impact sibling behavior;
- The consequences of sudden poverty on the family;
- Parenting and how it affects a boys development;
- Nutrition and its impact on obesity;
- Charter schools and later success in college;
- Drilling wells and women's rights in Africa;
- Baby boomers and the need for more retirement homes;
- Lack of dental care and work absenteeism;
- The impact of bullying on religious beliefs;
- Stress and its effect on the blood pressure and its effects on young adults;
- Braces and the effect on adult self-esteem.
There can be other interesting topics as well to do a cause-and-effect research paper. The real challenge for the student is not just a research to define the origin and the consequence. A good cause-and-effect composition gives demonstration of an understanding of the process. Within the body of the essay factors that influence the outcome may be explored and discussed. The student is challenged to make the text be more than just a dry history from start to finish. Along the way in the paragraphs, it can be demonstrated how the initial cause can be positively or negatively impacted by various outside forces. Consequences and the effects can be fully explored as to both short-term and long-term outcomes. If a student is able to make this essay interesting than it can assure a higher grade for the effort.
This is not necessarily going to be an easy assignment. There is going to have to be research and a careful analysis of what has happened, what is happening, and what the final result will be. It is a form of cognitive skill development that pays off in very substantial benefits. The capability of doing cause and effect analysis is going to help in career such as science, where knowing the origin and the possible outcomes are essential.
