Review: Kill Climate Deniers, at Pleasance Theatre
13 June, 2019 — By Clair Chapwell
Felicity Ward in Kill Climate Deniers. Photo: Ali Wright
NOW, there's a title to be reckoned with. I've certainly listened to certain interviews with certain climate deniers as I ground my teeth thinking those very words.
It has big shoes to fill with that title and as the audience files in we are confronted with an overture of noise and chaos – a set of televisions with abrasive telly personalities shouting about the misuse of taxpayers' (Australian) dollar funding a show called Kill Climate Deniers.
The show begins with the "writer" Finig (Nathan Coenen). First line: "The first thing I got wrong was the title."
Throughout the play Finig returns to the theme – how much trouble the title was causing him. He has predicted the rage of Conservatives to this title and hoped it would inspire terrorists to use the play as a manual.
It's a brave play on the hugest of subjects and sometimes because of its enormous complexity it's hard to follow. It's also hard to follow because we're fighting against our own guilt and complicity in the climate-change scenario.
In time-honoured tradition the devil gets the best lines and the most effective relationship is wacky duo environment minister Gwen Malkin (Felicity Ward) and her media troubleshooter Bekken (Kelly Paterniti).
Malkin has a disastrous radio interview with a shock jock as she attempts to explain the government's $75 billion plan to block out the sun.
There's much comic mileage for a fabulous duo who land up in Australia's Parliament House for a Fleetwood Mac concert raided by eco-terrorists. Those terrorists, Catch (Bec Hill) and Throat (Hannah Ellis Ryan), get the less enviable task of telling us about the post climate change/post-apocalyptic world in between threatening to shoot audience members. And here things unravel a little.
A strong cast of four women play many parts. Who is who? Who died? Why? Past caring. The show is big and noisy and chaotic – orange rifles, smoke, wild lighting states. As with the climate change argument so often the horror overwhelms and deadens. Can't take it on board.
Not happening. Then a final tender scene. A mum and daughter. Sadness. And it all comes home.
Until June 28

I told Cliff I wanted to play for a team that really wanted me. One with good management and good coaches, and a chance to win the Stanley Cup. I also told him I wanted to play somewhere in the States, but close to Toronto. After spending so much time away from home for so many years, I hadnt had the chance to be the kind of father I wanted to be to Maddie. Now, with a new young family and Maddie close by, I didnt want to jeopardize that again.In hindsight, my request probably cost the Leafs the best deal they could have made for me. Cliff told me which teams were interested, and the first one was Vancouver. The Canucks general manager, Pat QuinnCliff s old friendwas considering sending young prospect Markus Naslund to Toronto for me.
Oof. Naslund on Sundin's wing would have been nice.

Coincidently our trainer from the Boxer club called a guy to buy a cage from him.
He lived in one of the coast cities at Fyn where we live.
He told our trainer that he had used the cage to his Czechoslovakian Wolfdog.
My trainer told him that 'in her club she also had a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog.'
I guess the guy was pretty doubtful, but to make a long story short, we got his phone number and contacted him Thursday, Friday we met.
Mac, as Cember's father is called, was very pleased to meet Pandora, and we were very happy to meet Cember.
Finally a Wolfdog, not too far away from us.
The two dogs made friendship immediately, played and went along very well.
Cember is a big and beautiful guy. A good 75 cm tall which is a great deal bigger that Pandora, but he treated her so nice.
The two dogs met in the dog forests. A smaller one than the one we usually go to, so we made a new appointment with Mac and Cember, and met them again Sunday in our big dog forest.
Here we also met the Jack Russels, the white Swizz Cirkeline and some new friends.
But Cember is a great supplement to the circle of friends. I hope we see him soon again.
In wolfs land
Last Thursday we went to Sweden.
A long car ride of nearly 400 km. It's not that long to us, the humans, but to Pandora it is a long trip.
To bring a dog from Denmark into Sweden, the dog must be vaccinated against Rabies and within the last 10 days before crossing the border, the dog must be treated for intestinal worms.
All that was of course in order.
It was one tired Wolfdog that we brought to the summer house in the late afternoon.
Although she'd been sleeping all the way (with only two stops to stretch legs and get something to eat) she was tired and had these cute looking sleepy eyes the rest of the day.
She played around a little, but slept like a baby all night. Actually our bedroom was very cold the first night, so Pandora slept in the foot end of my bed with a cover.
Call of the wild
Next morning we went for a long trip in the Swedish forests. It was so quite and beautiful there and the only sounds were the birds chirping.
By chance we let Pandora off her leach. She was wearing a luminous waist coat in case hunters should think that she was a real wolf. But we never saw anyone.
Pandora never ran very far away. It was like she was a little insecure of her surroundings.
Before noon we went shopping and all the sleep Pandora got was ten minutes twice in the car.
Home again she was let loose in the garden around the house. And she stayed.
She found small pieces of wood or went digging and sniffing in the nearby forest or in the heather. Thousands of new smells was surrounding her and she just walk around and tried to figure out where they all belonged.
It could have been from wild pigs, squirrels, other dogs, foxes, and with a little luck: moose's.
After dinner in the evening, she was too tired to go out.
She looked at me with annoyance as I brought her out to do her stuff just before we went to bed.
And then it hit me: she had not been sleeping at all that day. Only 20 minutes on the trips forth and back from the stores.
Even as we shopped, Morten and I went in to the stores on turns. If I went in, Morten walked the dog, and then we changed.
So no sleep for the Wolfdog had made it tired!
Discovering the fear
Next day, we went for 5-6 km walk, but this time Pandora was in her leach. This meant it was a 'sniffing' trip, not an exercising trip.
We saw water falls and Pandora climbed the stones near the edge of the cliff.
We also crossed the huge stream on a locker. It was build with an open grate that you could see straight through, and it took Pandora all her courage to follow me across the wild river. But she did it!
As we returned, Pandora was let loose in the garden. She spent half an hour to run around in insanely high speed to burn off the rest of her energy.
After that, she could relax.
Again the evening was quiet. Pandora amused herself by taking wood pieces from the woodpile in the living room and chews it to pieces.
The last day, Sunday, I took a long walk with the girl before we hit the road to return home.
Did she have energy when we came back to our home Sunday afternoon?
Oh yeah.
She managed to take a hike and follow another dog that was out for a walk.
All in all we had a fantastic trip and Pandora was so sweet all the time.
She really enjoyed climbing the cliffs, drinking from the stream and sniffing around to all the new smells in the foreign country.
As usual when she is in the nature, she is so well camouflaged it is obvious that this is her right element.
I sincerely hope we'll go again soon.

The stretch of highway that snakes along the Merrimack River is notoriously dangerous, especially near Exit 6, and officials say it's due for an update. Recently, the first public information meeting was held to discuss some of the early findings of a study into the area's traffic, accidents and sensitive environmental and cultural resources.

President Donald Trump announced he will give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Tiger Woods after the golfer won the Masters Tournament for the fifth time ever and the first since 2005.
Woods will join Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Charles Sifford as the only golfers to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Former President Barack Obama also congratulated the athlete.
Woods started the final round on Sunday down two shots to Francesco Molinari from Italy, and was three behind after 11 holes. However, for the first time in his career, Woods mounted a come-from-behind win in a major tournament, finishing with a one-stroke margin of victory.
Many are calling Woods' victory a personal and professional comeback. Fourteen years passed since his last Masters win in 2005, the largest gap of time between titles in the tournament's history. After a very messy and public infidelity scandal in 2009, Woods announced an indefinite break from professional golfing, then returned in 2010 without any major tournament wins. Injuries and surgeries plagued his game from 2013-2017, causing him to miss the four major tournaments –– the Masters, PGA Championship, the U.S. Open and the Open Championship –– in 2016, the first time in his career.
The Masters win on Sunday marked Woods' 15th major tournament title and put him one behind the all-time Masters leader, Nicklaus, who has six titles.

Little Rock Nine statues unveiled
New monument shows the group in its defiant walk to first day of school with whites in '57
LITTLE ROCK, ARK. - Nearly half a century after they faced down a mob to integrate Little Rock Central High School, the Little Rock Nine stood together outside the Statehouse on Tuesday and unveiled statues of themselves in that defiant walk.
Some cried as they pulled away the sheets draping their individual statues and saw themselves as they were in 1957.
Elizabeth Eckford looked at the statue of herself leading the way into the school and smiled and joked about the more slender chin on the statue.
The location, too, is heavy with meaning. The nine statues stand outside the governor's office, where in 1957 Gov. Orval Faubus called out the National Guard to prevent black schoolchildren from attending previously all-white Central High following a 1954 Supreme Court ruling. When the nine entered, they were under the armed guard of federalized troops.
"The bravery shown by these young people and their families changed the face of public education in this country," said Nancy Rousseau, principal of Central High School. "Now, 2,400 students celebrate their differences every day, thanks to your courage."
The sculpture, by John and Kathy Deering, is called Testament . It shows the Little Rock Nine walking together, a representation of that walk through the pressing mob to their first day of classes with whites.
In 1997, when President Clinton honored the Little Rock Nine on the 40th anniversary of the integration, community leaders received death threats for mentioning the topic of the crisis, which gave Little Rock a black eye for decades, said Skip Rutherford, head of Clinton's presidential foundation.
The federal government designated the school a historic site, a museum was built and Central became the city's most marketed tourism site in the late 1990s.
Three of the former students — Elizabeth Eckford, Minnijean Brown Trickey and Thelma Mothershed-Wair — still live in central Arkansas. Gloria Ray Karlmark lives in Stockholm, Sweden; Melba Pattillo Beals and Dr. Terrence Roberts live in California; Ernest Green lives in the Washington, D.C., area; Carlotta Walls Lanier lives in the Denver area; and Jefferson Thomas lives in Ohio.

10 Best Grilled Zucchini & Squash Recipes
Though there are a myriad of ways to prepare them, we think super smoky grill marks give both vegetables great char and depth of flavor. Here, 10 of F&W's best grilling recipes for your bumper crop of zucchini and summer squash:
Can you hear that? It's the sound of people across the country wondering how to use up the seemingly never-ending supply of summer squash and zucchini. Though there are a myriad of ways to prepare them, we think super smoky grill marks give both vegetables great char and depth of flavor. Here, 10 of F&W's best grilling recipes for your bumper crop of zucchini and summer squash:
1. Grilled Eggplant and Zucchini Salad with Salsa Verde
Fast, healthy and packed with flavor, this vegetable dish is super-satisfying thanks to the fresh, insanely good sauce.
2. Grilled Squash and Lamb with Serrano Chile
This lamb-and-squash dish from F&W's Kay Chun comes together beautifully with a simple combination of Asian fish sauce and vinegar for flavor.
3. Grilled-Zucchini Subs with Fresh Mozzarella and Olivada
This summery sandwich benefits from a generous topping of olivada made with tangy green olives, lemon and oil.
4. Spinach Fettuccine with Tangy Grilled Summer Squash
At her restaurant, Amanda Cohen tosses herb fettucine with pickled squash blossoms and grilled zucchini. This simplified recipe features squash that's pickled then grilled, plus freshly sautéed squash.
5. Raw and Charred Zucchini Salad
When zucchini is at its freshest and most plentiful, make this salad; the feta, pine nuts, fresh herbs and tomatoes are all fantastic with it.
6. Grilled Squash Ribbons and Prosciutto with Mint Dressing
Grilling zucchini and summer squash ribbons on skewers is terrific because the edges become wonderfully charred and crisp, while the insides stay tender and juicy.
7. Hummus and Grilled-Zucchini Pizza
Prepared hummus that comes with a scoop of chopped garlic on top (like the kind sold by Sabra) is the secret here: The garlic gets mixed with oil to marinate the zucchini, while the remaining garlic and hummus flavor the whole pizza.
8. Grilled Summer Squash with Bagna Cauda and Fried Capers
Bagna cauda, the simple Italian sauce of olive oil, anchovies and garlic, flavors strips of garlic zucchini and yellow squash.
9. Grilled Zucchini with Fresh Mozzarella
The delicate taste of fresh mozzarella offers a delicious counterpoint to the garlic-and-vinegar-macerated zucchini. However, if you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, try goat cheese instead.
10. Chicken with Zucchini Salad
This simple dish uses lemony vinaigrette in two smart ways: as a quick marinade for chicken and as a dressing for thick slices of grilled zucchini and squash.

Got Plants?
With so many choices online and in stores, how do I choose the best plants for my yard?
Make every dollar count with resilient plants suitable for your site. The challenges, be it slopes, wet sites, dry sites, shady sites are as varied and unique as the people living among them. Time, energy and finances are limitations. You may experience success with screening an eyesore, attracting wildlife, improving resale value, adding beauty to the home and relieving stress with green therapy. Plant selection involves identifying plants that work with your site conditions.
Location, location, location.
What are minimum cold temps in your landscape? USDA provides average annual minimum winter temperatures (1976-2005) viewable by zip code. As an example, Bronson, Florida (zip code 32621) is listed as 9a. Easy summer plants, zoned 8-10, include black eye susan, coreopsis and gaillardia. Seeds of the latter spread with the wind.
USDA zone information is generally listed on plant tags and descriptive catalog text. One benefit of north Florida gardening, caladium and other bulb may overwinter in ground. Croton, a perennial in south Florida gardens (zoned 10-11), is an attractive annual in Bronson. Extend the pleasure by bringing containerized plants indoors. Plants zoned 4-8 are likely to waste away in Florida's climate.
"Northern apples 'Golden Delicious', 'Red Delicious', 'Gala', or 'Fuji', are not exposed to enough low temperatures during Florida's mild winters." (EDIS publication Low-Chill Apple Cultivars for North Florida and North Central Florida1) Anna and Dorsett Golden apple are better fit based on average chill unit in north and north central Florida.
Let there be light.
We recently acquired a one gallon citrus. The man of the house planted it where it would receive sufficient light. Citrus are more productive in full sun. Full sun equates to 8 hours or more hours of direct light, year round. Part sun equates to about 4-6 hours of direct light. Many plants benefit from some sort of mid-day protection, especially in summer.
Practical application involves recording light conditions throughout the day, and over seasons on a specific site. Clock, digital camera or pencil and paper are simple but effective tools. I've used shovels, chairs and ladders to mark possible planting sites and observe sun patterns as they play off temporary 'markers.' As a side benefit, does 'marker' placement enhance or detract from line of sight?
Coleus and caladium add interest to shade areas. Shade presents in various forms; filtered, dappled, deep or combinations. Sydney Park Brown has authored an excellent primer on shade with plant selections.
A note on soil drainage and drought tolerance.
Listed as high, medium, low or none as a measure of how well an established plant tolerates arid or droughty conditions. Crape myrtle has high drought tolerance on well drained to medium drained soils. Loquat has medium drought tolerance and prefers well drained soils. Coleus (Solenostemon scuttelarioides) have low drought tolerance and prefer medium drained soils. While all require irrigation until established, grouping plants according to water needs makes maintenance easier long term.
Surprise! Your landscape may have different soil types in different areas. Compacted or poorly drained soils? For optimum root health, select plants adapted to wet soils, low spots, poor drainage, compacted soils or high water table. Louisiana Iris (Iris hexagona) tolerates wet soils and has low to medium drought tolerance. Ornamental muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) has high drought tolerance and can tolerate a wide range of soil moisture. Many cultivars of canna lily tolerate medium drained to wet sites with medium drought tolerance.
Lippia (Phylla nodiflora) may be an option for sunny, well drained to moist soils in difficult to mow areas. Mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicas) tolerates shady areas. The dwarf variety is less than three inches, and does not require mowing. Does your site experience salt spray? It is a windy area? Plant labels provide specialized information.
To dig deeper, please refer to the Florida Friendly Landscaping (FFL) website, Right Plant, Right Place, annual plants, statewide perennials, local extension office, Florida Master Gardeners and reputable nurseries. Growers reveal new cultivars each season. Reply below to share your favorites. I'd appreciate hearing from you.
"It [FFL yard visit] answered a lot of my questions. I'd recommend it to everybody." ~Suzanne
Dixie, Gilchrist and Levy county residents request a site visit with specially trained yard advisor. Call 352-486-5131 to discuss your landscape challenges and goals. A customized educational (and hopefully enjoyable) experience will address questions. Yard advisors provide UF research-based options. This self-evaluation form will guide the discussion. These principles are discussed during the visit. There is no charge for this service. Until then – Happy Gardening!

I know, it's been a while, but I'm back. I've scheduled a few posts that I'd written, but not posted, so keep an eye out for those over the next week or so. I do want to try to keep posting here regularly, so here's my attempt at trying this again. Hopefully I'll be able to keep this up.
Currently reading: Mao: The Real Story by Alexander Pantsov and Steven I. Levine
I'm not very far into it, maybe 30 pages or so, but it's pretty good. I photoed copied the pronunciation guide from the beginning of the book because I kept flipping back as I was reading. This'll save both time and the book itself (I also, of course, made a copy for H, who is reading the book as well).
Music I've been listening to: Big Bang, 乔任梁 (Kimi Qiao), Céu, 方大同 (Khalil Fong), 周定緯 (Judy Chou), 許仁杰 (Stanly Hsu) and 潘裕文 (Pan Yu Wen).
It's mostly Mandopop, with a couple others stuck in there. I'm awfully predictable.
What I'm watching: Time Between Dog and Wolf (kdama), Nice Guy (kdrama) and rewatching Story of a Man/A Man's Story (kdrama). I've also watched The Hobbit (it was okay and yes, it was just okay).
And now, some links of note:

What we believe determines our values.
What we believe shapes our character.
What we believe grounds our faith.
We believe the Bible is a direct message from God telling us how to have a restored relationship with Him and how to live the life He created us to enjoy.
The Bible was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of God. It is the ultimate authority of truth and our guide for Christian beliefs and living.
We believe there is only one true God, that He is real, and that He has always existed in three persons: Father, Son and Spirit.
We believe God the Son became a man in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ to die on a cross for the sins that separate us all from God and make us guilty before Him.
We believe man was created by God in His own image. He became separated from God through personal disobedience and as a result all mankind is sinful in nature and practice and now experiences physical, spiritual and eternal death.
We believe that anyone who chooses to trust in the sacrifice of Jesus can be fully forgiven and have a new life with God solely on the basis of His gracious gift.

• By Janine Pineo •
About the time of the first frost, it hit me.
So intent was I on whipping my 30-foot-wide row cover about the vegetable garden in a futile attempt to save something from the cold that I failed to realize the chill had affected my brain.
But there, in the midst of my annual frenzy to stave off the first major frost, I succumbed. Overwhelmed in produce, drowning in grape juice, I let it happen.
Temptation, your name is tulip.
And allium, narcissus and crocus.
And fritillaria and iris.
All 281 bulbs of you.
How did it come to this?
I swear I only meant to buy some garlic.
And that book on diseases of vegetables. Never judge a book by its cover: Beautiful vegetables adorn the outside; inside are brown, black, gray, rotting, hollowed, cankered, oozing fruits that would only tempt you to never eat a vegetable again. All my vegetables would be hypochondriacs if they could read this tome.
Just like that (see above example), I digressed.
Before I knew it, 100 assorted bulbs were winging their way to my abode from Johnny's Selected Seeds, which started to sell spring bulbs this year.
They would have to, wouldn't they.
A bag of 25 maroon drumstick alliums and one of 25 mixed crocus made up half the order. I tacked on Pheasant's Eye and Thalia narcissus and three kinds of tulips: red Ile de France, pink Carola and the self-explanatory Purple Prince.
Somehow, I thought that with this I would have slaked my need to plant bulbs.
Then I went to Ellsworth.
Generally, this is not something to be avoided, but after coffee with a friend and a meandering journey through Rooster Brother, I descended on Agway.
Have I mentioned I love Agway?
No, not recently, I think.
So there I stood in Agway, dithering over the merits of different bulb fertilizers while a row of bulbs was calling my name.
I left with a mere 59 additions for my garden. One Babbling Brook bearded iris (lavender), two Royal Crusader bearded iris (sky and deep blue), 10 dwarf iris, 12 more allium (in azure), five Ice King narcissus, eight assorted butterfly narcissus, five Picture tulips (creamy pink), eight lily-flowering Burgundy tulips and eight double Abigail tulips (magenta-fuchsia).
I was wallowing in the colors of spring and I was liking it.
I also was avoiding thinking about where exactly I was going to be planting my new bulb collection because, well, it was only 159 of them.
Piece of cake.
Then the thermometer broke.
We were replacing gutter, I hit the thermometer, and we watched it do the slow-motion freefall to the deck where it shattered into bits, thus forcing me to go look for a thermometer when I went in to The Home Depot to buy downspout parts. On my way to thermometer central I had to step past – of course – the bulb collection.
Boxes and boxes of them.
I couldn't resist a bag of 24 Pickwick crocus, my favorite with its purple and white stripes. I also got 12 Flower Record crocus in a heady purple. For kicks, I tossed in 24 fritillaria named Uva-Vulpis that are so hideous they are cute; the bell-shaped blossoms are a maroon-black with the insides a sulphorous yellow.
One can never have enough daffodils so I picked up 10 Spellbinder narcissus, a standard trumpet style, and the bag of eight Golden Ducat, a glowing double narcissus.
I mistakenly got a bag of 12 Purple Prince tulips that had been in the Greenland tulip box, but they are so lovely I won't regret it.
The 10 Toronto tulips are Greigii type that blossom in early spring at 12 to 14 inches tall with red flowers that should look stunning against the purple-striped foliage.
I also got 10 Renown tulips, a late-blooming Darwin variety that tops out around 24 inches tall. I've planted this stunner before with its red-pink flowers edged with a hint of orange.
My final addition was a bag of 12 Don Quichotte, a vibrant magenta Triumph tulip that should flower in midspring and grow 18 to 20 inches tall.
It seemed appropriate to add Don to the mix and not just because of its looks. I wondered if I had lost my mind with 122 more bulbs to plant.
Yes, I had, but there was a good reason.
Try a 50 percent off sign.
Marked down to $1.49 to $2.49 a bag, how could I resist?
The final tally for 122 bulbs was less than $20.
Tilting at windmills in a yard full of tulips isn't such a crazy idea after all.
First published in the Bangor Daily News in October 2004.

PhotoCairo 5: more out of curiosity than conviction
Downtown Cairo
PhotoCairo 5 is about ways in which reality is splintered and shifts of subjectivity are made. Involving international and local, emerging and established artists, this exhibition explores the ability of art to trigger affective responses within the viewer.
PhotoCairo 5 explores forces at play in reshaping reality, such as paranoia, the act of recognition, and altered states of consciousness. Bodies, materials and knowledges radically unreconciled to their political, architectural, institutional surroundings appear across the show: from the tale of a hysterical dancing spree near the site of the European Parliament, to an impossible monument to the revolution, and the absurd power dynamics of a re-enacted citizen's arrest gone wrong.
The project takes its title from a passing comment in Harun Farocki's Videograms of a Revolution, in which existing footage of the Romanian Revolution of 1989 is narrated with attention to the position and motivations of the person filming. The comment refers to the decision – more out of curiosity than conviction – of a state TV camera operator to 'glance' the camera sideways at an emerging protest, against instructions. Farocki's treatment of the material calls attention to this gesture over the depicted event. If art is to handle 'revolutionary acts', here the camera operator's innocent curiosity and bodily uncertainty takes the place of grand representational gestures, yet crucially, allow us to witness the awakening of a radical reality.
The website will be permanently closed shortly, so please retrieve any content you wish to save.

Hacks from the Telegraph were tonight celebrating in various beer-selling establishments around London after publishing another fantastic expenses scoop, proving once again that the media is a vessel of the utmost integrity and forgetting entirely whose side they are supposed to be on.
'Mr Laws made three simple mistakes,' said Oliver Receipt-Bundle, political editor and stimulus agent for the London Taxi industry. 'One: he forgot that Lib Dems are always presumed to be gay. Two: He's not actually a Tory and Three: see point two.'
Lord Mandelson has weighed into the row saying it was 'inexcusable for any member of the government to attempt to conceal or distract attention from his sexuality in this way,' and that Mr Laws simply had to go, before adding; 'believe me it's got nothing to do with the money.'
Meanwhile the reasons behind Mr laws not appearing on Question Time have become clear as sources reveal Alistair Campbell was aware of the revelations and was planning to out Mr Laws on the show. 'But I still love him,' said Mr Campbell, sobbing quietly while gazing longingly at the photograph of Laws he showed to David Dimbleby only last Thursday.

does the gif in my signature look too dark to go with the site title and logo?
@JMack have you posed your blog in this thread? Was it always starlit-lands.com ? That's a great URL to have snapped up!!!!
Announcing JMack's blog: www.starlit-lands.com!Right now, I'm re-posting stories I've written for the monthly Fantasy-Faction contest. Over the last few weeks, I've been branching out into longer stories, so soon there should material that hasn't been seen before.I know some folks here have already checked it out. But all are welcome! Leave a comment, too, if something strikes a chord.
@J.R. Darewood:I have no idea what you mean here by parallax, but...I like the images a lot and they really add to the visual experience of the web page. I also like the idea of the quote pop-out, thought this particular one is, of course, gross. But only one makes no sense. I'd put one at or near the very top as a teaser to build interest, one in the middle, and one nearer the end. Meanwhile, I guess I should actually read the story, huh?
Hi guys!!!I'm finally fixing up my website!!!So I posted one of my short stories on the site, and I've been experimenting with ways to make it look pretty (parallax images, animated pullquotes, etc). Here's where I really need your help. You don't have to actually read it, but I'm trying to figure out if I should keep or cut the pullquotes and the images (eg should I make them regular images instead of parallax? is it better to make them full-width? Should I just delete them altogether?)If you can, please take a glance here!https://www.nerdempire.org/the-killer-10/Also @CameronJohnston a note for you below:Spoiler for Hiden: I added a bit to the interview we did to reflect your upcoming release, and re-posted both on my site and on medium. That means 1) the original URL of our interview is gone and 2) I've got links to your series page on the amazon page. Here's the new links to the interview:https://www.nerdempire.org/interview-with-cameron-johnston-1/https://medium.com/nerd-empire/interview-with-cameron-johnston-author-of-the-age-of-tyranny-series-8a3aeb95c047
I don't think the parallax or fly in worked on my iPhone. I'll check on a full browser.

NCC to license more broadband operators
Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is to license more broadband operators to complement existing ones in order to achieve the 30 per cent broadband penetration target of the Federal Government as enshrined in its National Broadband Plan (NBP), according to Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, executive vice chairman/chief executive officer (EVC/CEO), NCC.
Dambatta, who was represented by Mr Fidelis Onah, NCC director of Technical Standard and Network Integrity, stated this in Lagos, during the Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI) annual Middle East and Africa (MEA) Conference and Exhibition.
He said part of the plan of the Commission was to complete the licensing of infrastructure providers (Infracos), adding that two operators have been licensed to offer services in Lagos and \northcentral Zone under Phase 1 licensing round.
According to Danbatta, the availability of infrastructure remained the backbone for affordable, reliable and ubiquitous broadband services across the country.
He said the commission was already putting in place the required infrastructure to accelerate broadband penetration.
He said: "The NCC will continue to drive and support high speed connectivity and infrastructure which is the bedrock of ICT growth and development to end users through initiative such as license Infracos on a regional basis to provide fibre and wholesale transmission services on a non-discriminatory, open access and price regulated basis. Phase 2 licensing of Infracos for the remaining five geopolitical zones will commence soon. NCC will create an enabling environment for easy and efficient deployment of fibre optics transmission network; continue ongoing talks and discussions with various levels of government to facilitate speed in the processing of permits, harmonisation of tax regimes and ease of deployment of infrastructure including right of way charges; enhance competition in the market and improving consumer choices; classification of telecoms infrastructure as Critical National Infrastructure.
"The mobile revolution is still ongoing. The broadband revolution is about to commence; the solid metro and backbone ICT infrastructure required to carry and sustain the huge amount of data to be generated is already being planned to be put in place.
"This will yield the growth, development and increase in GDP that is necessary for Nigeria to take her place in the league of ICT savvy nations."
He said it took effective distribution of infrastructure to have services permeate all nooks and crannies of the country.

The Road Operations Division is responsible for the maintenance and construction of all Lake County arterial, collector and local roads.
There are more than 1,390 miles of County-maintained roadway and of this figure, approximately 120 miles are clay roads. Maintenance crews repair potholes, mow shoulders (except on clay roads), maintain adequate drainage, provide shoulder repair, trim trees and more.
This work is done on a schedule in the particular maintenance area or as needed. The County is divided into three maintenance areas.
The Special Projects Section is like a Maintenance Area that covers the entire County. Before the formation of this section, a Maintenance Area would have to suspend normal operations to complete a special project such as double-surface treating a road. Now, the Special Projects team can complete such a project and allow that Maintenance Area to continue with their regularly scheduled workload.
The Construction Section is responsible for overseeing all residential developments and commercial sites within the unincorporated areas of Lake County to ensure that streets and drainage are constructed in accordance with approved construction plans, County standards, applicable codes, engineering specifications, and State guidelines. The bid process, contract management, and project inspection for all County Road, Stormwater, Sidewalk/Trail, and Special Assessment projects are performed by this section. View the Special Assessment Procedure for paving non-County maintained roads.
The section reviews all residential developments and commercial site plan applications in areas relating to construction and monitors all work within the County's right-of-way with the issuance of Right-of-Way Utilization Permits and Commercial Driveway Permits. View specific details in the Subdivision Construction Plan and Final Plat Review Process Document. View the Right-of-Way Utilization Permit application and the Commercial Driveway Permit application.
This section also develops the Five-Year Transportation Construction Program that includes projects funded by the Federal/State Grants, Road Impact Fees, and Renewal Infrastructure Sales Tax. The annual Transportation Construction Program process kicks-off in February with a meeting that includes the 14 municipalities to discuss the projects located within the three (3) new Road Impact Fee Benefit Districts throughout the County. A final draft of the Transportation Construction Program is presented to the Board of County Commissioners for approval in August, and once approved, the Program becomes effective October 1st of each year. You can view more information on the Five-Year Transportation Construction Program.

Ashley, California State University, East Bay
"I am the oldest in my family and the first to graduate college. I had so many questions that my family couldn't answer. Being a part of Beyond 12 and working with [my coach] Lara is like having an older sister to talk to about what was going on in my college life. Conversations I couldn't have with anyone in my family. It's exciting to know that I have someone there to help me transition from a community college to a university."
Jennifer, Kennesaw State University
"…I know [my coach, Cat] has many other students but I still feel like I get the very best from [her] and I greatly appreciate it! College would definitely not be what it is for me right now if it wasn't for [her] help and guidance…"

Quick follow-up on Friday's post about the summer heat.
Last night we installed the window units in our apartment – it was muggy as hell and with the little guy having sweated a fair amount the night before, we didn't want to take any chances. So I threw one in his window and turned it on.
Then came hours of worrying. Was it too cold? Is he wearing enough? Is the filter clean? What if we just use the Fan setting? Will he be to hot? Can we set it to turn off automatically?
Not a single one of those questions would be worth considering if he were an adult: plug it in, turn it on, done. But he's not. He's a whiny little baby with a hypersensitive body. If he gets too cold, he'll get sick. If he gets too hot, he'll get sick. If he sweats too much, he'll get a rash. It's like living with Goldilocks.
The last thing I needed was to get up every two hours to make sure the temperature in his room was just right. So I told MomAndBuried to do it.
She said no, so I did it. Marriage!
In other news, he survived. But our electric bill is on life support.

Reasons to love I Heart Daily
Reason 1. It's a really cool site set up by two friends, Melissa Walker (who is also a YA author) and Anne Ichikawa, who used to work together at ELLEgirl.
Reason 2. The site highlights gorgeous must-haves every day, from funky new music to the best nail polish color for the season.
Reason 3. It's primarily aimed at teens but written by adults so grown women don't have to feel bashful about loving it.
Reason 4. They're often having competitions and giving cool stuff away, like a Fred Flare gift certificate every Friday.
Reason 5. It's like a more fun verison of Daily Candy and a less self-flagellating version of Goop.
What more could you want, and what more do you need to know?
The web address perhaps? Access I Heart Daily's daily brilliance here, or follow them on Twitter to stay one step ahead.

Mantras and Malas
A mantra is a powerful word, phrase, or sound vibration that is usually chanted to invoke positivity,
compassion, healing, good fortune, protection and bliss.
The word mantra has two parts; man, which is the root of the
Sanskrit word for mind and tra, which is the root of the word instrument.
A mantra is said to be an instrument of the mind, a powerful sound or vibration
that you can use to enter a deep state of meditation.
The sounds may be chanted out loud, or may be heard internally.
When the mantra is chanted internally, it is the "inner sound" of the thought
that is used as an object of focus in meditation.
When the mantra is chanted externally, the sound vibration can have a profound
effect on an individual or group physically, mentally, spiritually & emotionally.
A mala is a string of 108 beads with one bead as the summit or head bead
called a "sumeru" which is also considered to be the guru bead.
Malas are used as a tool to help the mind focus on meditation or count mantras in sets of 108 repetitions.
They are usually made from gemstones, seeds, wood and crystals that match the intention
of your practice and are often placed in view or in shrines as a reminder of affirmations.
Malas are most often made with round beads.
The beads are usually 7-8mm in size and their shape allows them glide easily through your fingers.
Traditional malas are made with Rudraksha beads, lotus seed beads, yak bone, Bodhi seeds, or wood.
Rudraksha Beads are considered very sacred and have been used for centuries by
people for healing, protection & meditation.
The word Rudraksha has it's origins in the two Sanskrit words "Rudra" & "Aksha"
meaning Lord Shiva & Teardrops respectively.
According to legend, Lord Shiva entered into a deep meditation and cried tears of compassion
for the well being of all living creatures.
When he opened his eyes & his teardrops fell upon the Earth they took the form of seeds that became the Rudraksha tree. Rudraksha therefore means "The Tears of Lord Shiva".
Lord Shiva is almost always portrayed wearing malas of Rudraksha beads on his head, arms & hands.
It is believed that the seed of Rudraksha contains the secrets of the entire evolution of the cosmos within it.
Rudraksha beads contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen.
Medicinally, they are known to heal the mind and body ailments, reduce heart disease and lower blood pressure.
They are also believed to increase clarity, awareness & insight,
calm the central nervous system, cool the body, help quiet the mind and free negative thought.
It is said that wearing and meditating with Rudraksha seeds can help one connect
with the higher realms of existence while promoting good health & overall well-being.
Bodhi Beads are made from the wood of a Bodhi Tree and are a symbol of Buddha's
attainment of enlightenment.
Lotus seeds are a symbol of compassion, universal love and enlightenment.
How to Use a Mala
Using a mala is a very therapeutic and enjoyable experience...
*This creates an energetic pattern and can be a very rewarding part of your day.
of the wonderful spiritual, emotional, physical and mental benefits.
1. Find a comfortable space and sit quietly in a cross legged position.
2. Close your eyes and observe the speed and depth of your natural breath.
3. Begin to breathe deeply and bring your focus and attention onto your mantra or affirmation.
4. Place the guru bead between your thumb and ring or middle finger.
5. Begin reciting your chosen mantra.
6. Next, hang the first mala bead on the middle or ring finger to the right side.
At the end of the mantra push the mala bead away with your thumb and move on to the next bead for another round.
7. Continue all the way around saying a mantra for each bead until you have reached the last 108th bead, bringing you back to the guru bead at the head.
8. You can either do 108 mantras or simply grab hold of the guru bead as you turn direction going back along
the same way you arrived at the guru bead and do another 108 mantras.
Whether you decide to do 108 or 216 mantras you will definitely feel an effect!
Om Mani Padme Hum
The Om Mantra - Om Mani Padme Hum which means
Jewel in the Heart of the Lotus has been translated from the original
Indian Sanskrit texts into many different languages.
A mantra is a powerful word, phrase, or sound vibration that is usually chanted to
invoke positivity, compassion, healing, good fortune, protection and bliss.
Chanting the mantra of Om Mani Padme Hum helps to protect oneself from negativity,
reinforcing the positive qualities of existence.
Om is believed by many traditions to be the first sound vibration of creation and
the duality (ying/yang) that exists in the universe such as; matter/anti-matter, good/evil,
positive/negative, male/female, night/day, hot/cold, black/white etc.
Mani means jewel and symbolizes the path of nurturing the strongest and
richest qualities of the mind like the cultivation of a diamond.
Padme means lotus and is a symbol of the path to enlightenment.
A lotus grows from the muddy waters into a beautiful flower resting above the water.
An enlightened mind is similarly capable of rising above an environment
that can be challenging (muddy) and blossoming with compassion and wisdom.
Hum represents the unity between knowledge and wisdom.
Knowledge is potential power and can become wisdom through life experience,
compassion and a profound understanding of consciousness and the human condition.

528 Entries for "cells"
cells. first cells discovered by van leehuwneek? probably way off, but it doesn't matter that's why i'm in summer…hmmm. cells make up tissues. there are components in cells called organelles, such as chloroplasts and mitochondria we have the endosymbiotic theory to explains that they were their own organism once and then they had a symbiotic relationship and were engulfed through endocytosis. i believe. don't take my word for it though.
Cells are vital to our existence. They are what make up our body. They are also the name we use for the places we imprison our fellow man. Weird that we use this word for both things.
Cells are batteries are the basis of all life and the basis of captivity. Cells are technology run amok. You are your cells.
are where many jail birds spend their lives. The cells become their homes. They're small, cold, dark rooms where many bad people spend their lives. One mistake and they are often taken from their warm, comfortable beds at home and thrown away. Sometimes the cells they are put in are an improvement from what they are used to. Three meals a day, a dry place to sleep, and company of others. Cells are both negative and positive. Peoples lives change there – for the better, and for the worse.
beautiful. active. the most intricate and precise machine. i wish i could take a train ride along the cytoskeleton and look through the windows onto the scenery of life. the origin. to swim in the depths of us.
The tiny building blocks which make up my body, feeling as though they have liquefied. My limbs turn to jelly, every inch of my body feels as though it's going to collapse under this pain.
Cells are our genetic material and determine our chances of survival.
Red. White. They're all cells.
Plants and humans alike.
Cell walls.
A basic functional unit of everyday life.

Fantasy in Death
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: J. D. Robb
Narrated By: Susan Ericksen
Publisher: Brilliance Audio
Date: February 2010
Duration: 12 hours 22 minutes
Bart Minnock, founder of the computer gaming giant U-Play, enters his private room, and eagerly can't wait to lose himself in an imaginary world, to take on the role of a sword-wielding warrior king, in his company's latest top-secret project, Fantastical.The next morning, he is found in the same locked room, in a pool of blood, his head separated from his body. It is the most puzzling case Lieutenant Eve Dallas has ever faced, and it is not a game....She is having as much trouble figuring out how Bart Minnock was murdered as determining who did the murdering. The victim's girlfriend seems sincerely grief-stricken, and his quirky but brilliant partners at U-Play appear shocked as well. No one seems to have had a problem with the enthusiastic, high-spirited millionaire.Of course, success can attract jealousy, and gaming, like any business, has its fierce rivalries and dirty tricks—as Eve's husband, Roarke, one of U-Play's competitors, knows well. But Minnock was not naive, and he knew how to fight back in the real world as well as the virtual one.Eve and her team are about to enter the next level of police work, in a world where fantasy is the ultimate seduction—and the price of defeat is death.

Last night I had a warm conversation with my mother, about her childhood and mine. It was an unexpected talk since my mother died about seven years ago. She appeared in a long dream that had a calm and intimate atmosphere.
Was it her? Was it a memory of her? Was it a part of me that is like my mother? Was it my mother complex? Was it altogether meaningless? What is going on in dreams?
I have been a psychotherapist for well over thirty years. I work in the style of depth psychology -- Freud, Jung, Hillman. They all take dreams seriously, but they hesitate to come up with definitive interpretations of a dream, especially Hillman. I am closest to him, and I, too, worry about easy and conclusive interpretations.
I treat a dream like a painting. Would I look at a painting, figure out its meaning, and then pack it away? Hardly. I might live with a painting all my life, and that's the way I deal with dreams. I look at them now and then but never reduce them to a meaning.
In my practice, a person comes to me with a problem. I listen to it and then ask for a dream. I don't interpret the dream. I let the dream remain in the background as we talk about the life situation. The dream intrudes now and then, and we get some insights into life from it. At the end of the session, we haven't interpreted the dream fully. We understand some things about it and see how it connects with life. We've been enlightened by it. The dream has interpreted us and made us think of life in terms of its images.
I want a dream to take us deeper, to see everything as a gauzy display of images. Dreams help me see through ordinary experiences to their underlying narratives and images and mysteries.
I'm at the point now in my work that I can't deal with a person's life problems unless I hear at least one dream. The dream reveals things that neither the person nor I can see without it. The dream is like an x-ray showing underlying patterns and characters.
I do have a few helpful guidelines. I look to see how the dreamer is resisting what is happening in the dream. The dreamer often fails to see what is going on and gets in the way. Telling the dream, the dreamer almost always takes the point of view of the dreamer in the dream. But other figures in the dream may be more aware, so I often side with them.
The dreamer tells me that he has dreamed of driving a car with a passenger next to him. At one point the passenger starts to poke the dreamer, causing him to drive off the road. The dreamer tells me that he must have something in him that is trying to make him lose control and fail to get where he needs to go. Perhaps, he thinks, he should grip the controls of his life and be in charge, for once. I think to myself, what if the passenger is more aware than the dreamer? Maybe the dreamer needs to get off the road he's taking. Maybe the passenger is saving him from serious trouble.
Often I follow Jung's technique of amplification. That means comparing a dream image to one you know from art, literature, religion or mythology. Students at a university where I once taught sometimes brought me this interesting dream: They find themselves carrying flowers and going to the university library. They press the "up" button of the elevator, enter it, and the elevator takes them down. I ask them: "Have you ever heard the Greek story of Persephone who was picking flowers when the Lord of the Underworld, Hades, seized her and took her down to Hell with him, giving her a home there? Maybe the dream has to do with a necessary movement into your depth."
Living with dreams in this way gives us a habitual deeper point of view. It makes us more insightful people, people who always look beneath the surfaces to see the mysterious narratives that are shaping our lives.

- How to connect to Android devices remotely with USB Network Gate
- Access devices connected to Android remotely
There is no doubting the fact that Android devices have grown in popularity in the last few years. If you are not an Android user, there's a chance that you are surrounded by friends and colleagues who are active users of one Android device or even the couple of ones. Lots of people are drawn to Android devices because of their huge affordability and because they allow easy customization. Others simply cannot do without its multi-tasking ability as well as its seamless integration with Google's services.
It's not too difficult to imagine the possibility of remotely accessing your Android device right from your computer. Maybe your phone is one that is not easily accessible, connected to a computer in a different room, or you require a help of a specialist to fix your phone remotely. Perhaps you are at work and happen to leave your phone with valuable data at home, and the only way to retrieve it would be connect the device remotely. Or maybe you have a lot of text to type and or you just need a larger screen with which to work. Fortunately, it's easy to access android phones from PC remotely.

In 2013-2014 the Studio had the privilege of conserving a wonderful tapestry map owned by the Oxford University Bodleian Library. It now hangs in pride of place at the Blackwell Hall in the newly opened Weston Building where it can be viewed by the visiting public.
Depicting the county of Worcestershire, the tapestry is in three fragments. It was woven in England c1590, for Ralph Sheldon to hang in his house in Long Compton, Warwickshire, as part of a set of four tapestries depicting different counties. It is one of a set of three map tapestries, (Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, also in fragments) owned by University of Oxford and a fourth tapestry (Warwickshire) in the set owned by Warwickshire Museum Service.
The designs for the maps are from the Christopher Saxton county surveys, published as an Atlas in 1579. A number of the Saxton maps would have been used for each of the tapestry maps and extra details were also added to the tapestries in the scaling up process.
Not only is the Worcestershire tapestry in three pieces but it is incomplete. The whole of the top and right borders and about a quarter of the map on the right side are missing. It is estimated that the original size could have been approx 430cm h x 680cm w. However despite these losses, the brightness of the colours and the sheer skill of the weavers really shine through and make it a joy to behold.
Conservation work on the Worcestershire tapestry began in July 2013 at the Textile Conservation Studio. Here it was examined, documented and prepared for wet cleaning before sending to De Wit Manufacturers, Mechelen, Belgium for washing.
Before conservation the three large fragments of Worcestershire had previously been stitched to a backing fabric of beige, coarse woven, linen. Most of this was removed before washing. The tapestry was surface cleaned front and back using adjustable suction museum vacuum cleaners.
Thread samples were taken for dye analysis, the results of which will be known later.

After initial Studio work the tapestry was rolled and packed for delivery to De Wit Manufacturers where it was wet cleaned.
The wet cleaning process went extremely well with excellent results.
The tapestry appeared much brighter and stronger to the touch after cleaning.
While the colours on the front of the tapestry are good, the unfaded colours on the reverse were found to be even more vibrant.
In many ways the conservation treatment was not at all a usual one for a large scale tapestry. This is primarily because the tapestry is not a whole piece and there are large missing areas.
During the time spent documenting and becoming familiar with the object it became apparent that an alternative approach needed to be considered.
A meeting was held with Bodleian staff where all options were discussed and decisions were made about the treatment approach.
After careful consideration it was decided that the tapestry be mounted directly onto the mounting fabric and not as is usual, first onto a linen scrim. In this way only one layer of new material would be added, and the method would mean only one set of stitches would be placed through the object and the mounting fabric.
In consultation a mount fabric was chosen, looking at fabric samples in different lighting set ups, viewed from a height and in both flat and hanging positions. A green colour provided a sympathetic background tone that allowed the map fragments to come to the fore. The green was also preferred because it referred to green fields rather than desert lands that the previous beige/brown colour of the backing suggested!
A ready dyed, green, ribbed fabric from Création Baumann's (Indiana II) was chosen. After discussion with the Bodleian staff, it was decided that the fabric should be used with horizontal seams. In this way no seams would be visible across the large missing area between the top and lower fragment. The rib effect however would not be running with the weave of the tapestry, but the decision taken was an agreed compromise which avoided having the seams run in a vertical direction.

the hanging mount fabric
Working on the Studio's two tiered table tops, the seamed mounting fabric was laid face up. The tapestry fragments were then unrolled and positioned on top. After placing tacking lines through the fragments only, following a warp, the position of each fragment on the backing fabric was fine tuned.
The central horizontal split through the large tapestry fragment, was felt to need adjustment in order to allow for the missing warps.
Measuring between the warp lines to set placement
During conservation the gap between the two fragments was tacked into place
After tacking the fragments in place the tapestry was attached to a frame roller and then set up on a frame.
Once on the frame the tapestry was put in a slung position rather than under any tension as the mount fabric had been applied flat. Conservation stitching was worked in 20cm sections. All the grid stitches in these sections were worked through a template that had been created. These grid stitches will give an overall structural support to the tapestry. Long or broken slit stitches were also restitched using a cotton covered polyester thread.
Some of the place names were incomplete. It was agreed with the Bodleian Map Librarian, Nick Millea, which place names were to be reinstated and which were to be left incomplete.
Using laid warps over dyed wool patches the place names were completed. The original Saxton maps were referred to and tracings of other letters in the tapestry used as templates to replace missing letters. It was also agreed that lettering elsewhere on the map was to be stitched with dark brown wool where original weft threads were broken or loose ensuring that the lettering could be clearly read.
Long and short stitches or laid and couched threads using a fine cotton covered polyester thread were worked around all the damaged edges of the tapestry fragments, providing localised support.
Before and after oversewing and laid couching the fragmented edges.
After all stitching had been completed the tapestry was taken off the frame before lining and attaching Velcro™ on cotton webbing tape to the reverse at the top and side edges.
An additional length of Velcro™ was stitched to the top of the central fragment to help keep the tension in the green support fabric and prevent any stretching.
Finally, last week, the tapestry was installed in its new case in front of a watching crowd including press and film crews. No pressure then!
If you want to see the tapestry in the flesh and under new lighting then we urge you to visit the Weston Library.

Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo biloba trees can live up to 1,000 years. Ginkgo grows most predominantly in the southern and eastern United States, southern France, China, and Korea. The leaves of the tree are used for their medicinal effects.
Ginkgo biloba helps to increase blood flow to the brain, which may be useful for alleviating memory loss, vertigo, tinnitus, disorientation, headaches and depression, especially in the elderly and especially those not responding to antidepressant drugs.
Many individuals suffering from circulation-related conditions such as leg cramps have reported favourable results when using ginkgo biloba. Ginkgo's antioxidant effects may protect the brain, central nervous system and cardiovascular system from age-related deterioratio, and inhibit high blood pressure. However, no studies have provided conclusive evidence supporting many of the claimed benefits of ginkgo biloba.
Recent studies have indicated that ginko may provide beneficial effects in connection with the following conditions:
* Age-related cognitive decline (ARCD)
* Alzheimer's disease (early-stage)
* Glaucoma (normal tension glaucoma)
* Intermittent claudication
Researchers attribute the medical effects of ginkgo biloba extract primarily to two categories of active constituents: flavone glycosides and terpene lactones. Ginkgo flavone glycosides are primarily responsible for ginkgo's antioxidant effects while the terpene lactones, also known as ginkgolides and bilobalide, are believed to be responsible for ginko's ability to increase blood circulation to the brain and other parts of the body.
Ginkgo's antioxidant effects may also inhibit platelet adhesion and thus decrease the risk of circulatory diseases such as atherosclerosis.
Ginkgo may also enhance cognitive performance in healthy older adults and in people suffering from age-related cognitive decline.
Dosage and Administration
General dosage recommendations for adults are 120 mg daily in two or three divided doses of 50:1 extract standardized to 25 flavone glycosides. For adults initial results often take four to six weeks, but should continue to accumulate beyond that period. You may not see any dramatic changes for six months.

- Bruichladdich Ancien Regime 1998
Bruichladdich Ancien Regime 1998 vintage Islay single malt Scotch whisky. Matured in ex-bourbon casks, limited release of 2,500 bottles.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Opens on peach melba with a sprinkling of dried coconut followed by more soft fruit notes, jelly beans. It's an olfactory fruit bomb. As it continues, sugar almonds and orange and lemon syrupy sweet aromas join the party. Once the fruit settles down a little, the superb notes and flavours of American oak add their vanilla fudge and toasted hazelnut flavours with a dash of bourbon from a previous life.
Taste: It's the mellowness of this oak that creates a bubble in which all the aromatics and taste sensations are held lovingly. After approximately 10 minutes a note of soft banana on toasted rye bread comes on board and the bubble starts to rise, which is does serenely, and is caught in the slipstream of a warm Westerly sea breeze which uplifts the notes of the wild flowers and heather covered hills as they rise from the glass.
Finish: Distilled essence! This Champagne of Islay will stimulate and captivate not only your senses, but your heart. Enjoy the flight; you have just been upgra
