As Mike Weber raced away from the Sparty defense for an 82-yard touchdown run, the fleeting chance of a Michigan State comeback seemingly fell away.
The Buckeyes took it to the Spartans in almost every way in the first half, outgaining the Spartans 320 to 91. The ground game was especially effective against the Spartans, racking up 248 rush yards against the Spartans, the No. 3-ranked rush defense in the nation.
Ohio State's defense was consistently in MSU's backfield, collecting two sacks and four tackles for loss. Damon Arnette was opportuntistic, recovering a fumble and intercepting a pass.
MSU redshirt sophomore Brian Lewerke appeared flustered from the get-go, and his stat line shows it; he finished the first half 8-for-22 with 46 yards and an interception. He recorded 400-plus yards in his last two performances against Northwestern and Penn State.
OSU: TD, Weber 47 run (Nuernberger kick), 8:14. Drive: Six plays, 86 yards, 1:19. Key plays: Dobbins 15 run. Ohio State 7, Michigan State 0.
OSU: TD, Barrett 4 run (Nuernberger kick), 0:17. Drive: 11 plays, 73 yards, 4:11. Key plays: Campbell 25 pass from Barrett on third-and-1; Barrett 4 run on third-and-1 at MSU's 4. Ohio State 14, Michigan State 0.
OSU: TD, Barrett 4 run (Nuernberger kick), 11:35. Drive: Nine plays, 68 yards, 3:12. Ohio State 21, Michigan State 0.
OSU: TD, Dobbins 8 pass from Barrett (Nuernberger kick), 9:21. Drive: Three plays, 25 yards, 0:56. Key plays: Lewerke fumble forced by Lewis, recovered by Arnette at MSU's 25. Ohio State 28, Michigan State 0.
OSU: TD, Weber 82 run (Nuernberger kick), 6:16. Drive: One play, 82 yards, 0:11. Ohio State 35, Michigan State 0.
MSU: FG, Coghlin 37 kick, 0:00. Drive: Seven plays, 24 yards, 0:59 seconds. Ohio State 35, Michigan State 3.

So, it comes down to this— Three home games against the club with the second worse record in the NL. Three home games against a team the Mets are 10-5 against this year. Three home games against the highly dubitable troika- Byung-Hyun Kim, Chris Seddon, and Dontrelle Willis, and their combined 5.59 ERA. The Mets, they throw their three best- Oliver Perez, John Maine, and Tom "300 Wins" Glavine.
A Message From George Steinbrenner
For any Mets' fans who are disgusted or are losing sleep over the
fact that the Phillies are now tied for first with the Mets, think of
it this way— If the Mets don't win the division, not only don't they
deserve to be in the playoffs, Willie Randolph and Omar Minaya need to
be fired!
A Message From Cabbie
Here, Here! I hope you are listening Mets' players, because you've
all played like a bunch of scared headless chickens these past two
weeks. Do you want to be the first team ever to blow a 7 game lead with
17 to play? I hope you feel the pressure, cause it might be the only
thing to wake your arses up. Enough coddling, enough wishing, enough "waiting to lose"
(as Paul lo Duca said yesterday). Enough is enough! Play like your life
depends on it, and just win the darn thing already. Mets' fans deserve

On 16 August 2018, Wing Commander Bhuvanendran Nair Prasanth and his team joined the HADR operations of 'Op Karuna' in flood affected area of Kerala. In a mission, he noticed 13 college girls stranded on a tiny roof top. Due to inadequate space on the roof top, most crew members advised him not to winch down to save the stranded girls. Disregarding his own safety, the officer winched down to rescue all the 13 survivors from the roof top. In another mission, Wing Commander Nair winched up two toddlers barehanded without a body harness so as to avoid the risk of the toddlers getting chocked in the harness due to the heavy downwash of the helicopter. During the complete operation, his team saved over a thousand lives while he alone was responsible for bringing 112 people including four infants and a 102 year old lady to safety. Wing Commander Nair with his exceptional leadership, has inspired everyone including the men under his command. In all the missions, he has repeatedly exhibited exemplary courageand professionalism.
For his exceptional courage and selfless bravery, Wing Commander Bhuvanendran Nair Prasanthisawarded 'VayuSena Medal (Gallantry).
On01 December 2017, the Unit was tasked for HADR mission towards Cyclonic storm `Ockhi' in the area of west of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. He volunteered for the mission and ensured timelypreparation of aircraft for the role. Realising the time criticality of the mission and the requirement to rescue more than one survivor, Sergeant Jha suggested the use of 'strop' in place of 'harness' as it would save time and aid in speedy recovery of survivors. No naval diver was available for the mission and to aid recovery of survivors from the sea, he requested for a tech trade to operate the winch while he himself decided to do the task of naval diver if the situation demanded' so. The high sea state and being an inexperienced swimmer did not deter Sergeant Jha from winching down into the sea to rescue survivors. Realising that the use of `strop' though expediting recoveries could lead to a mishap to inexperienced civilians, Sergeant Jha personally carried five survivors with him on the winch in the first mission on that day. On his second mission, he assisted the naval diver in safely rescuing five more fishermen from capsized boats.
For his act of exceptional courage and bravery in the face the life threatening situation and saving the lives of 10 fishermen, Sergeant Amit Kumar Jha is awarded VayuSena Medal (Gallantry)'.

Habakkuk 1:1-17
1The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. 2O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! 3Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. 4Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. 5Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. 6For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs. 7They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. 8Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. 9They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. 10And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it. 11Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god. 12Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction. 13Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? 14And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad. 16Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous. 17Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

The new report suggests that, with the availability of more channels via digital platforms, older viewers are watching for longer periods, and while average viewing levels for young adults are expected to drop, a surge in population, driven by such factors as immigration, means total viewing for the 16-34 demographic will grow 5% by 2012.Open DialogueBRUSSELS — Film will be at the heart of 2008's European Year of Intercultural Dialogue, which aims to boost European understanding across languages, religions and ethnic backgrounds. The yearlong event will have a budget of $14.5 million, in addition to funds from EU capitals, to foster a variety of projects across Europe. These include seven flagship trans-European projects and 27 national projects. The program comes as many policymakers in Europe have raised fears that globalization will grind down local ideas and traditions. OverabundanceROME — Italy's national association of exhibitors, ANEC, on Thursday called on film distributors to hold back the release of blockbuster films, complaining that the high number of films in distribution over the early part of the year has been counter-productive. ANEC president Paolo Protti called the situation a "cannibal effect," meaning moviegoers were being forced to choose between too many options. ANEC said that some of the top films released so far this year, both Hollywood and domestic fare, should be held for months closer to the traditionally slow summer season.

Realistic living standards
The importance of realistic statistics came to the fore again this week, when Associated Labor Unions-Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (ALU-TUCP) demanded an apology from the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) for apparently setting an "insulting" budget of P127 per day for food as a living standard for a family of five.
ALU-TUCP decried a presentation on "TRAIN, Inflation, and Poverty" (6/5/18) by Neda Undersecretary for Policy and Planning Rosemarie Edillon, that had a table, "Monthly consumer basket of an average Filipino family," adding up to P10,000, of which the Food and Non-alcoholic Beverages component was a measly P3,834. The objectionable P127 is P3,834 divided by 30 days.
The source of the mysterious round number of P10,000 was not stated by Neda. It is not last year's official poverty line adjusted by the 4.6 percent year-on-year "headline inflation" in May, because there was no such line last year. The last reference year for the line was 2015, when poverty was officially estimated from the 2015 Family Income and Expenditure Survey or FIES.
Using intervening inflation rates would be a simple way of updating the official poverty line, even as often as monthly, but the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) doesn't do that. The PSA prefers to update its poverty line only when it updates poverty, and so it has no poverty line for either 2016 or 2017; the line will probably not reappear until after the 2018 FIES is analyzed, presumably in 2019.
A better basis for adjusting a poverty line would be the Consumer Price Index for Bottom 30% Income Households. The Bottom-30 index has been rising much faster than headline inflation. Its year-on-year inflation rate was 5.3 percent in 2018Q1, versus the average 3.0 percent in 2017.
Research of the UP School of Statistics shows that Bottom-30 inflation has more impact than headline inflation on Self-Rated Poverty, as surveyed quarterly by SWS.
P200 per day for food is realistic. The Social Weather Surveys always include the people's thresholds for both general poverty and food-poverty (see www.sws.org.ph, 4/25/18). In the survey of March 23-27, 2018, the national median monthly thresholds are a home-expenses budget of P13,000 for the generally-poor (those who self-rated as mahirap) and a food-expenses budget of P6,000 for the food-poor (those who rated their food as mahirap). The latter implies a food budget of P200 per day.
By area, the latest median monthly thresholds of the food-poor are P8,500 in the National Capital Region (293 per day), P6,000 in Balance of Luzon (200 per day), P5,000 in Visayas (167 per day), and P8,000 in Mindanao (267 per day).
The latest food-poverty gap is a realistic P100 per day. The poverty gaps are the extra budgets that the poor say they need, over and above their current budgets, in order to escape their general poverty and food-poverty.
The latest median monthly food-poverty gap is P3,000 for the food-poor of the nation as a whole, i.e. P100 per day. It is P2,600 in the NCR in particular (87 per day), P3,000 in Balance of Luzon (100 per day), P2,750 in Visayas (92 per day), and P4,750 in Mindanao (158 per day).
The food-poor are 29 percent of families in the country—the aggregation of 18 percent in NCR, 24 percent in Balance Luzon, 45 percent in Visayas and 31 percent in Mindanao. Note that Visayas has the most food-poverty, relative to population. But Mindanao has the deepest food-poverty, relative to need.

An Indian village follows a very strange ritual of getting every man married twice!
India is a vast land with 29 different states and 7 union territories. Hence, one finds the country full of different cultures and religions. From meaningful to strange to weird, all kinds of rituals can be found in the country. And there is one such weird ritual in the Derasar village of Rajasthan.
This Indian village village is a part of the Barmer district and is very close to the India – Pakistan border. And has this ritual of getting every man married twice. It is not that the men themselves are very fond of marrying twice. But the reason behind the second marriage is very strange.
Derasar is a very small village with around 600 people living in it. In fact, there are around 70 Muslim families living in the village. And getting married twice is nothing unusual for them. But still, that is not the reason behind bigamy there.
It is a belief in this village that a man cannot have a child from his first wife. And hence all of them have to marry for the second time to carry their family line forward. As weird as it sounds, but it is true!
Also, the first wives are not jealous of the second wives. In fact, they treat their children as their own.
There have been many men who have waited for years in this village to get a child from their first wife. But at the end all of them have failed. This is being observed for several years now that that the first wife of a man is never able to give a child to the family. And there is no scientific explanation to that.

Heinemann & Balestier – The English Library
The firm of Heinemann & Balestier is little remembered these days, although the Heinemann part is familiar. The publisher William Heinemann still exists at least in name, as part of Penguin Random House, and the Heinemann name lives on too through its educational publishing arm, owned by Pearson. It's come a long way from the publishing firm founded in Covent Garden in 1890 by William Heinemann, at the age of 27.
Shortly afterwards he formed a partnership with another ambitious young man, only a year or two older. Wolcott Balestier was an American writer who had come over to London in 1888 as agent of the publisher John W. Lovell. He seems by all accounts to have been a remarkable man and a very charismatic one. If his name is less remembered today, it is perhaps because he never had the time to go on and establish it in the way that Heinemann did. But in London he was quickly able to form a range of literary contacts, notably including Rudyard Kipling and Henry James.
Kipling became a close friend and married Wolcott's sister Carrie, who had come over from America to keep house for him. Wolcott was able to help Kipling with getting his works copyrighted and published in the US, overcoming the piracy of literary works that was still common at the time. Indeed his own firm John W. Lovell, publisher of Lovell's Library, had been one of the pirates, publishing cheap reprints of English novels in the US, without authorisation.
Balestier's mission to London was in part an attempt to obtain authorisations from authors in advance of anticipated copyright agreements, much as Tauchnitz had done 50 years earlier. He seems also though to have promoted other strategies, including offering himself as a co-author to provide American copyright protection (an offer apparently refused by Mrs. Humphry Ward), or printing a small number of copies in the US to establish copyright there, in advance of the UK publication.
Together Heinemann and Balestier decided to mount a challenge to the dominance of Tauchnitz in publishing continental editions in English. Throughout most of the 1870s and 1880s, Tauchnitz had faced a varying level of competition from the 'Asher's Collection of English Authors'. This had originally been launched by the Berlin firm of A. Asher & Co., but was later taken on by a series of other publishers including Grädener & Richter in Hamburg. Although at certain periods this had been serious competition for Tauchnitz, it had faded by the late 1880s and Tauchnitz had been left largely unchallenged.
The firm of Heinemann and Balestier launched their new series, 'The English Library' from Leipzig itself, the home of Tauchnitz, in 1891, although the real base was probably in London. To start the series, Balestier was able to draw on his friendship with Kipling, to publish 'The light that failed' as volume 1, and an earlier collection of short stories, 'The phantom rickshaw' as volume 7. Kipling, who was at this stage only 25 himself, even younger than the two publishers, had already had one book, 'Plain tales from the hills', published by Tauchnitz in 1890, but had not formed the long-term relationship with Tauchnitz that many older writers had.
The Irish writer Margaret Hungerford was another matter. By 1891 she was a well-established and very popular writer, who had already had over 20 books published by Tauchnitz. Two of her books appeared in the Tauchnitz series in early 1891, but her next novel, 'April's lady' was published as volumes 4 and 5 of the English Library, to be followed by another five of her books over the next 2 years.
She was one of the first to abandon Tauchnitz, but she was followed by many others. Given the dominant position the firm had had in English language publishing, it is hardly surprising that almost all of the writers to appear in the Heinemann & Balestier series had already had books published by Tauchnitz. Amongst the writers to defect were Rider Haggard, Hall Caine, W.D. Howells and Arthur Conan Doyle. For several, such as Florence Marryat, Mrs. Alexander, Walter Besant, Helen Mathers and Margaret Oliphant, Tauchnitz was spurned for a second time, as they had earlier had books published in the Asher's series. Did this show an underlying dissatisfaction with Tauchnitz, or was it simply a question of money?
If Tauchnitz was effectively being outbid, he had already shown more than once in fighting off Asher's, that he had both the determination and the financial strength to fight back. He was also keen to use his established contacts with authors and his no doubt considerable charm. Writing to one of his longest-established and best-selling authors, Charlotte Yonge, in March 1891, a few months before the launch of the English Library, Tauchnitz had this to say: '… At the same time permit me to mention, that a rival undertaking will be started against our Continental Series. It came perhaps already to your knowledge by insertions in different papers, which however are not correct, as almost all our first-rate authors remain attached to us and we sincerely hope that you will be among them. It will give us always a great satisfaction to include your forthcoming books in our Collection, always at terms quite convenient to you.'
There was perhaps an element of wishful thinking here given the number of authors who did defect, but Charlotte Yonge was one of those who remained. As when Tauchnitz had been faced with the first challenge from Asher's Collection 20 years earlier, he responded by redoubling his efforts. From publishing around 70 volumes a year, the number published in 1891 increased to just over 100, in comparison to the 75 or so issued by Heinemann and Balestier in just the later part of the year. In 1892 the two firms were roughly level at around eighty volumes each, but the challenger was already fading.
In December 1891 Wolcott Balestier had died suddenly from typhoid fever in Dresden, a week before his 30th birthday. His death probably robbed Heinemann & Balestier not only of his youthful dynamism but also of his editorial and literary contacts, although William Heinemann himself must have had considerable strengths in both areas. The publishing programme of the firm in 1892 remained a strong one, and included various works as a tribute to Balestier.
For the 100th volume in the series, they published his early work, 'The average woman', together with a Biographical Sketch written by Henry James. This publication also announced as 'In the press', two other works. Volume 150 of the series was 'The Naulakha' a novel on which Kipling and Balestier had collaborated, with Kipling writing scenes in India and Balestier scenes in America. The other work referred to was Balestier's novel 'Benefits forgot', published posthumously in London by Heinemann and also in New York by Appleton, but I have not been able to find any evidence to confirm its appearance in the English Library. The series did though publish Kipling's 'Barrack-room ballads, and other verses', which opens with a poem and a dedication to Balestier.
Without Balestier, and facing a competitor as formidable and as financially strong as Tauchnitz, the challenge of The English Library could not be sustained. The volumes issued in 1893 fell to only around 20 and most of the authors returned to Tauchnitz, later including even Kipling. A smaller number of volumes were published in 1894 and then intermittently right through to at least 1903, although rarely more than 2 or 3 a year. Might it have been different if Wolcott Balestier had survived?
As it turned out, it was the last great competitive challenge for Baron Tauchitz himself. By the time he too died in 1895, he could be confident of having seen off this competitor as he had so many previous competitors. He had run his firm for almost 60 years, publishing over 3000 volumes in his 'Collection of British Authors', and left it once again in a dominant position in the continental European market.
I'll come back in another post to some of the more bibliographical points about the Heineman & Balestier series and to a slightly odd later revival of it under the imprint of F. Brockhaus of Leipzig. (Follow this link for part II)
George Eliot in Tauchnitz Editions – Part 2
My first post on this subject covered the early George Eliot novels published in Tauchnitz from 1859 to 1863. After this early burst of creativity in her writing career, there was a longer pause before her next novel, ' Felix Holt the Radical', was published in the UK in 1866. The continental edition did not immediately follow and Eliot had to write to Blackwood, her UK publisher, in February 1867 to pass on comments of 'deep regret that Felix Holt is not published in the Tauchnitz Edition'.
Tauchnitz had perhaps hesitated following disappointing early sales of 'Romola', but he needed no second prompting. Terms were agreed the following month and 'Felix Holt' appeared in May 1867 as volumes 897 and 898 of the Tauchnitz series. The first printing is distinguished by a list of Eliot's five previously published titles on the half-title verso of volume 2. Later printings list other titles published later than 1867.
Perhaps Eliot remembered the initial lack of enthusiasm from Tauchnitz over 'Felix Holt' when her next novel, Middlemarch' was published in 1870. She might also have had in mind that Tauchnitz had purchased the rights to 'The lifted veil', but had still not published it. Or perhaps we need no reason other than money to explain why she decided to abandon Tauchnitz and entrust her novel to a untested publisher launching a new series.
A. Asher & Co. was an established German publisher in Berlin, run by Albert Cohn, a literary scholar and Anglophile, but it had no track record in publishing English literature in the original language. It must have paid heavily to acquire the rights to 'Middlemarch', probably significantly more than Tauchnitz had ever offered, and used it as the basis to launch a series in competition to Tauchnitz. To recoup its costs, Asher split Middlemarch into 8 separate volumes and charged a premium price for them. For a period it was a very significant competitor and tempted many authors away, but in the end most of them, including Eliot, returned to the Tauchnitz fold.
In 1874, Asher's Collection, by then under the imprint of Albert Cohn, also published 'The legend of Jubal' and other poems. By 1876 though, when 'Daniel Deronda' was published, the series had been taken on by a new publisher and was no longer a serious competitor for Tauchnitz. It was probably at this point unable to offer the same level of advance payment, whereas the generosity of Tauchnitz had been stimulated by the loss of Middlemarch.
In a section of George Eliot's letters, referring to the continental edition of Middlemarch, there is a footnote in the Tauchnitz Edition to record that 'The author was subsequently induced to publish "Daniel Deronda" and her succeeding works again in the Tauchnitz Editions. Baron Tauchnitz paid £250 for "Daniel Deronda".'. Does the eagerness of Tauchnitz to record this betray his pain at the loss of Middlemarch, or at the subsequent cost of recovering the author for his series? Certainly the amount paid was considerably higher than the £50 he had paid for Adam Bede, and the £100 for 'The mill on the Floss', although these were when Eliot was much less well-known.
On the other hand, it's a long novel, and Tauchnitz could cover his costs by stretching it out into four volumes, and so it appeared in December 1876 as volumes 1617 to 1620 of the Tauchnitz series. No first printing copies in the original wrappers are known to have survived, but privately bound copies in the original state are less difficult to find, listing 6 other titles by Eliot on the half-title verso of volume 2.
Deronda was the last of Eliot's novels, but not the last of her writing, and first there was some unfinished business for Tauchnitz. He had bought 'The lifted veil' back in 1859, but still not published it, and now saw the opportunity to put it together with another earlier work, 'Brother Jacob'. The two appeared together as volume 1732 in April 1878, and were followed in June 1879 by 'Impressions of Theocrastus Such' as volume 1828. Paperback first printings of both are pictured below, and bound copies are identified by listing 7 titles and 8 titles respectively on the half-title verso, in each case only the titles previously published.
First printings in original wrappers of 'The lifted veil / Brother Jacob' (above – from March 1878) and 'Impressions of Theophrastus Such' (below – from June 1879)
Eliot died in 1880, but interest in her work and her life continued. As well as continuing to reprint earlier works, Tauchnitz in 1884 (volume 2229) published 'Essays and Leaves from a note-book' – mostly early essays that had been published in the 'Westminster Review'. The first edition lists 9 previous works by Eliot on the half-title.
Then the following year Tauchnitz published in four volumes 'George Eliot's Life as related in her letters and journals', edited by John Cross, the husband she had married shortly before her death. This is volumes 2318 to 2321 of the series and as it is the last of her works to be published, all ten previous titles are listed on the half-title (of the second volume). There is therefore no easy way of recognising later reprints of privately bound copies, although it's likely that it was reprinted.
Overall from 1859 to 1885, Tauchnitz published 22 volumes of George Eliot, including almost all her significant works other than Middlemarch, which remains an unsightly gap in the record.
George Eliot's works in the Tauchnitz Edition, in the usual mix from luxurious private bindings to scruffy (but rare) copies in the original wrappers
There's still one minor footnote to record. In 1886 Tauchnitz launched a new 'Students' Series for School, College and Home', made up of English texts with German footnotes and and a German introduction. He chose 'The mill on the Floss' as volume 2 of this series, although it is considerably longer than most other volumes and sold at a premium price of M1.70 for the paperback edition. Like most of the George Eliot works it was reprinted regularly over the next 40 years.
George Eliot in Tauchnitz Editions – Part 1
I should be clear up front. 'Middlemarch' does not appear in the Tauchnitz series. It's probably the single most famous novel from the whole of 19th century or early 20th century English literature that never appeared in a Tauchnitz Edition. The story of how and why it went missing can be found here. George Eliot without Middlemarch may seem a bit like Hamlet without the Prince, but the author of 'Silas Marner' and 'The mill on the Floss' amongst others, would deserve her place in history even without Middlemarch.
The first of Eliot's works to be published in book form was 'Scenes of Clerical Life', reprinting a series of articles from Blackwood's Magazine. It first appeared in the UK in 1858 and the two-volume continental edition followed in February 1859 as volumes 462 and 463 of the Tauchnitz series. Tauchnitz had offered £30 in November 1858 for the continental rights, as recorded in Eliot's letters, later also published in a Tauchnitz Edition.
As always the Tauchnitz volumes were issued as paperbacks, although no copy of the 1st printing is known to have survived in its original wrappers. I believe the copy pictured above is the earliest known paperback copy. The back wrappers advertise the 15th edition of the Tauchnitz English-German dictionary, which date them to 1864 – 1865 and other titles advertised in the series confirm a date of 1864. Most other surviving copies have been privately bound, and the original wrappers discarded. They then can't be dated as precisely, but examples of the first printing should list no other titles by Eliot on the half-title verso.
In July of 1859 Tauchnitz paid Eliot a further £87 10s, made up of £50 for 'Adam Bede' and £37 10s for her novella, 'The lifted veil'. 'Adam Bede' was published immediately as volumes 482 and 483, and reprinted many times by Tauchnitz over the next 80 years, but 'The lifted veil' was held back and did not appear in the series until almost 20 years later. It seems very untypical of Tauchnitz to pay for a work and not publish it, but 'The lifted veil' is untypical of George Eliot, so perhaps it was appropriate. It was also too short to fill a volume of the Tauchnitz Edition on it own, so perhaps had to wait for a suitable accompaniment.
As always, copies of 'Adam Bede' in the original wrappers are scarce. The less-than-perfect copy pictured above is certainly very close to a first printing, with the list of other titles on the wrappers going up to 'Barchester Towers' by Trollope (volumes 491 and 492), published in October 1859. It may be that again this is the earliest known surviving copy, although the Tauchnitz bibliography lists two other early copies (in Budapest and in Western Ontario) advertising the 11th edition of the Tauchnitz English-German dictionary, which puts them no later than the end of 1860.
It's interesting to look at Eliot's choice of a male pseudonym in the Tauchnitz context. In 1859, when her first works appeared, around 40% of all novels published by Tauchnitz were by female authors and by 1865 the women were at parity, if not in a small majority – a position that they maintained for most of the next 20 years. So it was clearly not that she would have had any difficulty in getting published under her own name.
But there was undoubtedly a difference in the type of novel published by female authors, which tended to be light romances, or more often, sensation novels – the style popularised by Mary Braddon and Mrs. Henry Wood, as well as Wilkie Collins. Eliot had published an anonymous essay in 1856 attacking 'Silly novels by Lady novelists' and clearly did not want her own work to be categorised in this way.
Despite sitting on 'The lifted veil', Tauchnitz was keen to publish all of the novels of George Eliot as soon as they were available. 'The mill on the Floss' appeared in April 1860, only a matter of weeks after the first UK publication, as volumes 509 and 510. The price paid increased again to £100, presumably on the basis of the successful sales of 'Adam Bede'. 'Silas Marner' followed in May 1861 as volume 550 and then 'Romola' in December 1863 as volumes 682 and 683.
For all of these volumes, the first printings according to the bibliography should not list any other titles by Eliot on the half-title verso, as well as conforming on other points too detailed to mention here. However it's worth noting that for other Tauchnitz volumes issued around the same time, versions with no other titles listed, and versions with all previous titles listed, seem to have been issued more or less simultaneously. A version of 'Silas Marner' exists listing only the three Eliot works published ahead of it, and a version of 'Romola' listing only the four previously published titles.
It's possible, particularly in the case of 'Romola', that both versions were published simultaneously. However my paperback copy (again I think the earliest known copy) shows no later published titles in the advertising on the wrappers, so is almost certainly a first printing, and it has no other titles listed.
'Romola' was not as commercially successful in the UK as Eliot's earlier novels, and the same may have been true on the continent in the first few years. Early copies are relatively scarce. In the long run though, it was almost certainly the most successful in sales terms of all the Eliot novels published by Tauchnitz, because it was taken up for sale as a travel souvenir by the Italian book trade. A series of Tauchnitz Editions, all with Italian settings, were sold in large numbers in Italy, in custom made vellum bindings, often richly decorated, and extra-illustrated with albumen tourist postcards bound in. They seem to date mostly from around the 1880s, so are almost always reprints, although as the half-titles are rarely bound in, they are impossible to date accurately. 'Romola', with its Florentine setting, seems to exist mostly in bindings by G. Giannini in Florence, with postcards of Florence bound in.
By the end of 1863 (and the end of this first part), the Tauchnitz series contained a total of 9 volumes by George Eliot, and covered all four of her novels up to that date. There is some evidence of early reprints, but from what evidence there is, I suspect that sales were respectable, but not outstanding in the early years. Tauchnitz probably sold enough to make them profitable, which may have been as few as 2,000 copies or so, but the real value came from the fact that they continued to sell, year after year. There were certainly plenty of reprints later on, and Tauchnitz bought the copyright of almost all the books he published with a single advance payment rather than ongoing royalties. So it was books that generated continuing sales that became the most profitable over the long term, and Eliot's novels were certainly in this category.
I'll come back to the story of George Eliot's later works in a second post.

Everyone has a dream of building their own house, but it takes time and money. What if your dream house could be built by itself in minutes? It may sound like something straight out of sci-fi movie, but a company has actually developed something like that. The UK based Ten Fold Engineering has developed a modular self-transforming home that builds itself from a truck-sized block under 10 minutes.
It's all about lever
The key behind this cool new offering is no computer programming or AI, but a patented lever system. The lever system controls the entire counter balanced folding leakage and lets the home effectively "make itself". All you have to do is push a button and watch it unfold. Once unfolded, you can secure the structure using an electric drill. The structure closes by being pulled in with a winch that comes with a fail-safe. And the best part is the unit will never close if the floors aren't completely folded up. So, don't worry, it's not going to squeeze you.
Make your dream home anywhere you want
According to Ten Fold Engineering, their self-transforming home also comes with a room where you can store some furniture while it is compacted. Once unfolded, it becomes three times of its original transport size. The company says their base unit, named the U-box, becomes approximately 645 square feet when unfolded, with all its internal fittings and fixtures pre-installed.
As the structure can be unfolded anywhere, there's no need for foundation. You don't have to worry about the builders, construction materials, and vehicles. Just put it on a truck and go for your perfect destination. This transforming home could be a great option for mobile clinics, and refugee camps. Some schools can use it during their study tour. And if you're one of them who don't like to live in one place for a long time, this could be the best option for you.
The estimated cost of the units starts at about $130,000, which is quite reasonable comparing to traditional housing. Ten Fold Engineering's technology is so versatile that a single truck-sized box could be used to construct this transforming home. Besides, the company is pretty generous that it is licensing out its patented technology to other contractors. It means local manufacturers can build such homes using the technology and you don't have to depend on Ten Fold.
The company confirms that they've already completed their European standard production drawings and now are converting them into American building codes. You can expect one of your self-constructed homes by the end of 2018.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) Romania has begun a census that is expected to show a decline in its population because many people have left the country since it joined the EU.
Officials began questioning citizens Thursday in the nationwide survey, which is scheduled to take 12 days and cost €45 million ($62 million), the government said.
It is considered the poor East European nation's most accurate census since communism was overthrown in 1989.
The last census in 2002 put Romania's population at 21 million. But government officials have said that about 2 million Romanians searching for better jobs are believed to have migrated to European Union countries such as Spain and Italy since their nation joined the bloc in 2007.
In the new census, Romanians will be asked about issues such as housing and migration. They also will be given the option of answering questions about ethnicity, religion and disabilities.

Database of research projects FEDRA
Research project MN/DD1/004 (Research action MN)
Persons :
The diversity of ecosystems is an aspect of "biodiversity" which has recently become a popular notion. It refers to the diversity of life of all forms, beginning with the genetic heritage and extends to the ecosystems on which the biosphere is built (UNESCO, Rio de Janeiro, 1992). As a whole the various biological levels are marked by an alarming reduction in their biodiversity. Structural biodiversity (in terms of numbers, biomass, the composition of species and the population structure of communities) and functional biodiversity (presented as series of interactions between the various trophic levels) are different concepts which most certainly must be related one to the other if one is to have a good understanding of how an ecosystem functions.
The project
There are two facets of the project:
- an analysis of the factors which determine the biodiversity of marine ecosystems and the changes in them;
- the translation of what is known into parameters which can serve as a basis for the policy to be imple-mented (for example, the species which serve as ecological indicators). Special attention will be paid to the benthos (organisms which live close to or at the bottom of the sea) and the upper trophic levels (fish, seabirds and marine mammals) and their parasites.
In the first phase a synthesis will be made of all the information available having to do with the spatial and temporal distribution (structural biodiversity) of the components mentioned above of the Belgian coastal shelf. The data will be used together with an analysis and interpretation of the connection between the biological indicators and the environmental variables to establish criteria for the selection of ecological indicators for sustainable development. Special attention will be paid to sandbanks, not only because of their extreme ecological significance, but also because they are greatly affected by human activities. Comparison with neighbouring areas (open sea, the Belgian East coast) will enable us to evaluate those characteristics which are peculiar to sandbanks. Maps will be made available for use by policy makers. They will not only indicate the places where different species of bird, benthos, fish and their parasites occur, but also the vulnerable areas.
The connection between biodiversity and production is of fundamental importance in ensuring that ecosys-tems are efficiently managed. In this respect there are two different approaches which will have to be considered:
- maintaining the large "visible" species, which often occupy an important position in the food chain, and which, in the policy context, are easy to monitor as ecological indicators;
- reaching an understanding of the underlying biological relationships (predation, competition) and the structuring interaction with the abiotic environment.
The feeding ecology of the different components will be quantified and qualified with special emphasis on the trophic place of those species which serve as ecological indicators. The significance of the primary production of the water column in the benthos structure will be studied to quantify the direct interdependency between the pelagos and the benthos. Models of morphological variation do not always coincide with auto-ecological, molecular and biogeographical models. This is of crucial significance in ecological research, since it implies that morpholo-gical diversity does not necessarily correspond to functional diversity which latter can be either greater or less than the morphological diversity would indicate. We are basing ourselves on the principle that the population genetics of fish (biodiversity at the level of population) constitutes an essential element in understanding the ecosystem of sandbanks (biodiversity at the level of the ecosystem). The choice of which species to study will be determined by what is already known in the fields of ecology and genetics and their significance both as food for birds and the commercial fishery (for example gudgeon). The importance of parasites of fish and seabirds will also be considered as biological and genetic markers.
This research is of direct interest to policy makers at the Belgian Federal level for the following reasons:
The implementation of the Ramsar agreement of 1971 covering water rich areas and in the framework of which the implementing decrees establishing a protected zone in the Flemish banks (coastal sandbanks) are overdue.
The preparation of the next Conference on the North Sea (2000), at which the Belgian Government will draw on the expertise of its own researchers as regards the information available on eutrophication, the deterioration of the habitat, pollution, the extraction of sand and overfishing (including opinions on the proper management of genetic characteristics).
The supply of basic information for the optimum management of the natural resources of the Flemish banks, if appropriate, by setting up a marine reserve.
Establishing criteria for ecological monitoring of the sustainable development of the North Sea (with priority on the sandbanks).
The application of the UNESCO convention on biodiversity signed in Rio de Janeiro (1992). So far none of it has been implemented on Belgian territory. The inventory of the fauna of the Belgian continental shelf is incomplete.
The intention of the Federal and Flemish governments of setting up a data bank as a management instrument and including an information system based on geographical coordinates.
The Partners
The Department for Marine Biology of the University of Ghent (Prof. Dr. M. Vincx, Drs J. Vanaverbeke, Dr. A. Cattrijsse and ir. D. Van Gansbeke) already has thirty years of experience in research on benthos in general and in the North Sea in particular. It will provide data on the biodiversity of the different benthos components.
The Laboratory for Ecology and Aquaculture of the Catholic University of Leuven (Prof. Dr. F. Ollevier and Prof. Dr. F. Volckaert) will study the genetic variation of a number of species which serve as indicators and the ecology of parasites.
The Institute for Nature Conservation of the Flemish Community (Prof. Dr. E. Kuijken, Prof. Dr. P. Meire and Drs J. Seys) will be responsible for the upper trophic levels such as birds and marine mammals and drawing up maps of the distribution of benthic communities

The New York Times published a discomfiting coda to the months of Taliban-Afghan peace talks: Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, the Taliban higher-up who met with Afghan president Hamid Karzai and NATO officials throughout several rounds of deliberations, is not, in fact, Taliban higher-up Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour. "It's not him," a diplomat told the Times. "And we gave him a lot of money."
Just who is this man? It could really be anyone besides Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour. The paper's sources suggested that he could be an agent with the Pakistani intelligence service, a different Taliban member authorized to do the bidding of Mansour, or simply a curious onlooker with boundary issues and a casual approach to his own mortality. Whomever he was, many agree that the Mansour-impersonator was collegial, thoughtful, and goal-oriented. The Times reports: "The man claiming to be representing the Taliban laid down several surprisingly moderate conditions for a peace settlement: that the Taliban leadership be allowed to safely return to Afghanistan, that Taliban soldiers be offered jobs, and that prisoners be released." One optimistic Afghan official hoped, "Questions have been raised about him, but it's still possible that it's him."
According to the United States government, this is actually not still possible, although, as the Times notes, precisely "how the Americans reached such a definitive conclusion—whether, for instance, they were able to positively establish his identity through fingerprints or some other means—is unknown." A ambiguous conclusion worthy of a disconcertingly ambiguous tale.

The British Undergraduate Philosophy Society (BUPS) was founded early in 2005 to respond to the lack of a communication platform linking students from different universities. The society was initially centred around mailing lists, but its activities have since grown to include the organisation of conferences and the publishing of its own journal, the British Journal of Undergraduate Philosophy (BJUP).
BUPS now has hundreds of readers and conference delegates coming from universities across the UK, and sometimes even from abroad. All students taking an undergraduate course in philosophy are automatically members of BUPS, and except for conference tickets it is completely free.
The main event of the BUPS year is our bi-annual conference, which hosts speakers from among the national undergraduate philosophy community, and well-known keynote speakers from across the world.
All papers delivered at the conference are published in our journal, which also accepts papers directly for publication. The journal is published bi-annually, and comes out around a month before the conference, giving delegates time to digest the papers.
We also run the National Undergraduate Philosophy Calendar (NUPC), which is accessible by every undergraduate philosopher in the UK, and updatable by every departmental philosophy society involved with BUPS. This gives philosophy societies the opportunity to advertise their events to a wide audience, and our members the opportunity to access philosophy events nationwide.

WASHINGTON - U.S. factories expanded last month at the fastest pace since June 2011 on a jump in orders. The report signals that manufacturing output could strengthen in coming months.
The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index rose to 55.7 in August from 55.4 in July. It topped the index's 12-month average of 52. A reading above 50 indicates growth. The ISM is a trade group of purchasing managers.
A gauge of new orders rose nearly five points to 63.2, the highest level in more than two years. Production increased but more slowly than in the previous month. Factories also added more jobs, though also at a weaker rate than in July.

Hey guys and gals,
Today at therapy my therapist Lena said that i have reached all her goals and there is nothing more she can bring to the table. I am afraid to cut the strings though. I always try harder stuff with her and feel safer when shes there. She is on vacation next week and was already scheduled for week of 30th so i said how about i come then and see how i did while she was away, but i think i am trying to prolong the envitable and need to cut the string and go at it on my own now with the help of all of you. I dont know, what do you all think?
May 15, 2013 - 3:34 pm
Be thankful for those 2 strong feet cause you are going to have to stand on them sooner or later. I felt the same when in-home health care stopped coming following my surgery and again when my neck massage therapy stopped. With what you have been through, you can do this!
May 15, 2013 - 4:27 pm
This is a little outside of my comfort zone, but you get a good camera on your computer and I'll watch (help) you swallow while you eat. It sounds like I'll have few weeks to bone-up before we go live, so it is doable (LOL).
It is good she encouraged you and that you have done well. I felt a bit lost when my rad onc cut me loose, but like you we must move on. You know opinions abound here at H&Ncentral so you shouldn't feel lost for long.
Now go practice your swallowing

Sadly, I'm not getting as many of the following emails, I think it's cause I've weeded so many of these type of people off my list.
I love weeding people off my list almost as much as I like finding the right people to join the Freedom Club family.
I got this email a couple days ago and as always, there is a lesson in here.
Here is the email and my comments will follow.
"4 Letter Words give me 4 reasons to Unsubscribe.
Unethical (suspect)
Unwise (why swear when you do not know who your audience is)
Un excusable"
—-I don't believe for 1 second this guy was a potential customer, but I will answer his email in order to share with you how to handle people with victim mentalities.
This guy wanted any excuse not to take the first steps to start a freedom business, so he picked the fact that I said a "bad" word in the daily email he is responding to.
I put that bad word in there to make sure people like him get off my list and don't waste my time buying my products just to refund them back with the excuses of being offended.
Victims LOVE to be offended and if he found an inspirational email with one "bad" word offensive, he is just itching to find anything offensive, (as an excuse not to actually start going after his dream.)
The truth can be offensive, so it was bound to happen with this guy.
If one bad word makes him clutch his pearls and faint back on his Victorian couch, I don't want him buying my products or corrupting my large mastermind group of winners.
It's time to stop being offended and start actually going after your dream!
I don't know anyone that has been successful that is so easily offended, so I use things that offend the easily offended to weed them out.
It does it's job like a charm, as the guy has proven.
Here are my answers to a couple words he used to try to manipulate me.
If I was unethical I'd do everything I could to make him buy, knowing full well he WASN'T the type of person to really take action.
Instead, I've done exactly the right thing to make sure he leaves my list and stays away from the buy button. He clearly wouldn't know ethical if it smacked him in the face. Another fantastic reason I celebrate his leaving my list.
"Unwise(why swear when you do not know who your audience is)"
Here he's assuming he knows who my audience is.
I know exactly how to attract winners that are ready to succeed.
Sadly, he's just mad that he isn't one of them and is "being offended" so he can blame me for succumbing to his fears.
I hate 'assuming' and 'being offended'. I'm looking for people who are 'Curious' and 'Ready to Win'.
He clearly isn't ready.
In my experience, someone like this will never be ready, which is why I do several things to weed them off my list.
Someone like this wants me to beg and grovel for him to come back and learn for free, not me. Instead, I made sure my team kicked him off the list.
Ya, he said he was going to unsubscribe, but didn't…
I made sure he did.
In your business, you have to know exactly who your audience is and you have to love working with them. You have to want to protect them like your own children.
I do and did.

In all seriousness, the Marlin is a great rifle, too. I own a Model 60, one of the best rifles ever made.
Brownings are nice, but in terms of quality AND accuarcy AND ruggedness, it's hard to beat the Marlin.
Outstanding!!! Congrats on a nice buck!BTW, what does mule deer taste like? I've not had it, but I've heard that it's got a little bit of a sage taste to it.
Nice mulie! It tastes a LOT like sage brush, nothing like our cornfed whitetail deer.

Power League shortlisted for New Statesman award
An online citizenship project I helped develop and design has been shortlisted for a new media award by the New Statesman magazine. Developed in 2005 in collaboration with Barby Asante, George Grinsted and Rachel Collinson, the World Power League was conceived of as a tool for young people to play with ideas of leadership: who has power, who does not and why. Using what I call a "throwaway" interaction rather like the website amihotornot, the website offers an apparently simple choice between two types of leader with possibly different types of power - say, Nelson Mandela and Madonna. The user picks the one who in his or her opinion should have more power. The aggregrated results from all users are shown in a visual table - the power league - which can be used to organise conversations in school about power and responsibility.
Artist Barby Asante and I originally worked with Year 10 students from a school in northwest London to develop insights into how young people understand democracy and leadership. Then together with software developer George Grinsted and interface designer Rachel Collinson of Rechord, we conceived of the World Power League as a playful but also serious way of engaging with issues of power. This project, from concept to prototype, was supported by what was then called NESTA Futurelab. The World Power League has since been further invested in and developed by Futurelab as Powerleague since the original team did not have the resources to take it forward at the time.
The winners are announced next week.

Imagining Business exhibition opens
A new perspective on the significance of visual representations in business activities
Exhibition 6-29 June
Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
EIASM workshop on Imagining Business, 26-27 June: find out more here organised by Paolo Quattrone (Saïd Business School), François-Régis Puyou (Audencia. Nantes School of Management & CSO) and Christine Mclean (Manchester)
This exhibition might be seen as a form of public experiment. Organised to accompany the first workshop on "Imagining Business: Reflecting on the Visual Power of Management, Organising and Governing Practices" (see link above), the exhibition provides another way to explore the complexities of visuality in organisations, as well as the specific and localised activity of visualisation.
A series of questions animate both the exhibition and the workshop. How do visualisations constitute organisations? How might our understanding of business change if we thought of the artefacts of business as themselves performing? Do we need to develop dedicated theoretical orientations towards the power of the visual as enacted in day-to-day organisational life? What are the potentials for the artefact, whether diagram, object or some other form entirely, to disrupt the normative ways in which business operates?
The exhibition is therefore propositional, but also provocative. It brings together three orientations towards imagining and the visual with works by:
- visual artists Chris Evans and Carey Young
- design consultancies Wolff Olins (branding and brand-led innovation) and live|work (service design and innovation)
- artists/researchers Nina Wakeford (Goldsmiths College) and myself Lucy Kimbell in my art mode
A catalogue is available with essays by Paolo Quattrone, François-Régis Puyou and Christine Mclean; Jon Wood; and an interview by Noortje Marres with Lucy Kimbell and Nina Wakeford. Catalogue intro by Alex Hodby, Lucy Kimbell and Nina Wakeford.

50mm Pak38 Anti-Tank Gun
Axis Armor
50mm Pak38 Anti-Tank Gun
The Pak38 is a long range anti-tank weapon with strong armor penetration, effective against both enemy armor and defenses. However, since it is towed on foot by infantry, it is slow moving and requires a setup time before firing, making it vulnerable to flanking attacks. The front is protected by armor plating, providing some protection to the guns crew. The Pak 38 can also be camouflaged in preparation for an ambush move on enemy vehicles.

Picks and Pans Review: Rude Boy
Though redeemed by several blazingly performed songs by the Clash, this woefully disjointed film does not do for punk rock what The Harder They Come did for reggae: illuminate the musical milieu and make the musicians' and fans' dedication comprehensible. The vague plot concerns a loutish London kid who hooks up with the Clash as a roadie. Variously late, drunk and clumsy with equipment, he seems to serve the band only as a pathetic target for physical and verbal abuse. Their continuing tolerance for each other is baffling and, finally, depressing. But then, the characters are so bogged down in anomie they make the ghouls in Night of the Living Dead look like Keystone Kops. Only the concert scenes—which throb with anger, desperation and instrument-flailing violence—make very much sense. Directors Jack Hazan and David Mingay may have been trying to illustrate the social disaffection that gives punk rock its raison d'être, but instead they have succeeded only in turning out a numbing, alienated movie.

"Forums like the Tri-Lateral talks are critical to ensuring unity of effort with our partners in the Caribbean region," said Cmdr. Michael Vega, Coast Guard 7th District foreign policy advisor. "We operate seamlessly on a daily basis with our French and Dutch teammates in our collective fight against transnational criminal threats that jeopardize our collective security and prosperity. Opportunities to talk collaboratively with peers about how to approach these complex international problems help align our activities and improve our chance of success for dismantling criminal enterprises who operate in the maritime environment."

There are two levels of answers to the question of why people travel. The first is the obvious and probably the reason we give ourselves and quote to others. We travel so we can see sights, experience other cultures, attend events and learn more about the world.
These are exciting reasons. But there are deeper reasons to travel that have less to do with what we do when we travel, and more to do with what the journey is about us. These five sets of changes to us are the essence of what makes the trip so convincing.
Travel enriches you before, during and after
The prediction of a trip is almost as stimulating as the journey itself and the memories afterwards. Knowing what you have before and imagine it in detail, gives excitement to life and relieves the tendency to fall in a business day. The more detailed the picture of the journey, the more a future trip will excite you in advance.
During the journey, daily life can be intense. Living at these moments completely and marking everything around you, elevated living. It is obvious that this kind of intensified experience is a quality of a travel that takes you beyond the bus and out of the streets and squares, landscapes and waterways, of the places you visit. Independent travel is a world besides inherent travel.
Travel expands your world view
Through the trip you get a framework for history and significant touchstones that brought you to your current life and point in time. Now you are in the bad Borgia popes office, surrounded by the walls that contained the man with sufficient power to write a papal star - a mandate - claiming all the wealth of the Western Hemisphere for Spain and Portugal, and securing it for the next 200 years. When you pause instead where it happened, the events and meaning come to life with a new meaning.
Now you look down the stairs leading to a tunnel connecting Leonardo da Vinci's home with the royal castle across the street. It was through this tunnel that King Françoise traveled to sit and talk with his ingenious friend. And now you are in Bayeux, where the French William Erobreren built his shipping to cross the English Channel and claim England's throne.
Each of these experiences reinforces your view of the world and your first hand about time and space.
Travel makes you more alive and interesting
Travel gives you something to look forward to ... to prepare for ... to study for ... and later to share. You will bring home stories. Life can become something monotonous if you release it, especially after you retire and your work life ends. In advance, it's worth at least as much as the journey itself and the memories that follow the trip.
How much better to have travel stories and observations to share to make your conversation limited to your latest doctor visits and your frustrations with weeds in your lawn.
Travel recreates you
Travel and the expectation of travel, recreates your enthusiasm. You look forward with excitement instead of experiencing the exuberant feeling that comes from repetition and routine.
Travel challenges you to be at your most effective and focused level. Comfort zones can be comfortable. But it's good that you are regularly taken out of your comfort zones. Otherwise, your social abilities may begin atrophy, and your ability to think of your feet and solve problems may decrease due to abuse.
Travel improves your health and well-being
Travel gives you a reason to be healthy. And it keeps you crazy anymore! The challenges with travel test your sharp daily. Travel can be demanding, especially if you are not led by the nose on a group trip. You know that you must be on your toes - being consciously aware - to pay close attention. You have to walk a lot, including up and down hills and stairs.
Usually when you return home from a trip, you will be in better shape than you have been for months or even years. And if you immediately start predicting another journey ahead, you will have a real incentive to follow up on these improvements and be ready for the next time.
Changes and benefits
These changes and benefits to you from travel can become permanent. Your life will be expanded with enrichment, you will think more in big. You will find yourself incorporating conscious lifestyle changes that have been learned during the trip. You will be more alive and interesting because you are regularly re-adapted. And you will experience improved health and well-being.
All that takes into account makes this a great deal.
