"Listen up, savior! Do you know what true love is? [...] Love is...an infinity of limitations!" - Kirika Kure, Chapter 3.
Kirika is somewhat rash. Her top priority is her friend, Oriko, and she seems to do anything Oriko asks of her, including killing other magical girls. Kirika appears to be mentally unstable, such as her insistence in having everyone know the difference between a "crush" and "love", as she is willing to devote herself entirely to her love.
She can be moody, and has mood swings from time to time, switching from declarations of love to showing disdain towards everyone but Oriko in the span of moments. She tends to be overly serious when it comes to talking about Oriko and/or love, but often shows childish behavior, such as commenting about how hungry she is during battle or admiring Mami's skills and weapons during their battle. Kirika hates people who call her a 'child', with Oriko being the only exception.
The extra chapter Noisy Citrine reveals more details of her past. Originally a cheerful girl, she became antisocial, timid and quiet after being betrayed by her best friend Erika. Some time later, she met Oriko, so Kirika wanted to be more worthy of the girl's attention by being a different kind of person. This led Kyubey to grant her a more outgoing personality. Her current personality is the result of her wish, which was to "become a different [Kirika]".
Kirika in Oriko Magica
"This witch must've been an awful old bag to interfere with our tea!" - Kirika Kure, Chapter 3.
She is a school friend of Oriko. Though they went to different schools, Oriko was one of the only people to ever be nice to Kirika, and this, in addition to Oriko's charisma, leads her to be very attached to her.
Kirika's first appearance is at the end of Oriko Magica chapter 2, where she is seen talking to Oriko on her cell phone. Oriko asks her to do something, and Kirika says that she would never turn down one of her requests. She asks that her friend give her a little time to do it, though, as she is covered in blood and wants to clean up.
While in Oriko's father's rose garden, the two prepare to have tea. Kirika names all the different kinds of roses she sees in an attempt to impress Oriko, but is told that it was Oriko's father, Hisaomi Mikuni, who liked roses. Kirika says there's no point knowing anything that doesn't pertain to her friend, causing Oriko to comment that such thinking would make Kirika an ignorant child.
A witch attacks them, and as Kirika fights it, Oriko prepares the tea. Kirika comments about the witch daring to try to come between herself and Oriko. Kirika ends up smashing their table and ruining it, so the two just sit together after the battle, Kirika resting in Oriko's lap.
Later, she loses something important: a stuffed toy she wears on her hip that was a gift from Oriko. Mami finds and returns the toy to Kirika, who claims that Mami is her "savior." As thanks, Kirika treats Mami to a crepe. When Mami asks about the present, and makes the mistake of asking if Kirika likes the person who gave it to her. Kirika's attitude changes swiftly. She says that Mami throws such words around too easily, and that real love is "an infinity of limitations" While saying this, Kirika is suddenly surrounded and attacked by a witch. Mami resolves to save Kirika, but Kirika is fine. She says that she devoted herself to "her," meaning Oriko, and is willing to even kill her savior for that cause. When she transforms and attacks her, Mami realizes that this is the black magical girl responsible for the recent murders of the other magical girls in the city. Kirika confirms this. Mami defends herself as best she can, but Kirika is too fast to shoot or restrain with her ribbons. Eventually, Kirika wears her down until Mami is wounded on her leg. Mami manages to escape into the witch's barrier, away from Kirika, and sets a trap for her based on the deduction that Kirika's speed is actually an illusion. Kirika is actually slowing her enemies down with a spell, letting her seem faster and more agile than she really is. Mami shoots at her, but Kirika slows it down and dodges it. She didn't account for it to go off after it had past it, however, and the blow wounds her back (where her Soul Gem sits) quite deeply. Mami demands an explanation for the murders, but Kirika refuses to give one. Mami prepares to shoot Kirika through the head, but is stopped when Oriko appears and causes a huge explosion. In the confusion, Oriko saved Kirika and took her back home to be healed.
As Kirika searched for her target, she remembered her first meeting with Oriko, and how she was formerly a quiet loner who had no friends. Oriko helped Kirika collect her things that had spilled onto the ground. Kirika tracked Oriko down after that, but was too afraid and timid to call out to her, thinking that there's no way Oriko would remember her. She wished to "change [herself]", a wish that is granted by Kyubey and changes her personality quite drastically. When she tells Oriko the truth, her friend responds that what Kirika's done in unforgivable and she'll have to make it up to Oriko. Kirika agrees, even as they both realize how little time is left when Kirika's cracked soul gem is revealed.
Kirika and Oriko take over Mitakihara Middle School's broadcasting room some time later, sending out a short message to the students that tells Mami and Homura that this will be the final battle. A witch's barrier then mysteriously forms around the school.
Oriko and Kirika are confronted by Homura at the heart of the barrier world. Kirika transforms into a witch, revealing that the barrier is in fact hers. Even as a witch, she helps Oriko attack Homura, who has been joined by Mami, Yuma, and Kyoko. She is defeated by them and killed. Oriko's soul gem is close to exhaustion and before she dies, she uses a shard of Kirika's witch body, hitting Kyubey, and dies.
Afterwards, in the afterlife, Kirika meets Oriko in an illusion of the Mitakihara school corridor. Kirika notices that Oriko carries a big burden about that and offers to take half of her burden. Then Oriko joins Kirika, holding hands in what is implied to be the afterlife or another timeline since Kirika vaguely remembers Oriko or the previous events.
Kirika in Noisy Citrine
After making a contract with Kyubey and becoming a magical girl, Kirika goes to the train station to meet Oriko, feeling that she is more worthy of her. However, after Oriko appears on the station, Kirika finds herself unable to do it, realizing that despite contracting with Kyubey and changing her personality, she still doesn't have the courage to talk to Oriko. The next day, she tries to retry her meeting her Oriko but she runs into her ex-friend Erika on the way. Upon remembering how she was betrayed by her in the past, which caused their friendship to crack, Kirika pushes her and runs away.
Kirika and Erika meet later when Erika has been possessed by a witch. Kirika stops Erika from hanging herself, but Erika lashes out against Kirika, wanting to die, believing Kirika still hates her. It is revealed that Erika had shoplifted out of mixed feelings from her parents' divorce, and pushed the blame onto Kirika, before leaving Mitakihara without a word. This led Kirika to become distant from others.
Kirika, however, saves Erika anyway and says that she has become a different Kirika, before defeating the witch, thus forgiving Erika. This incident seems to give Kirika the courage to confess to Oriko.
The ending of Noisy Citrine implies that either Oriko or Erika may be Kirika's most precious friend, but leaves it ambiguous.
Kirika in Symmetry Diamond
Kirika's role in Symmetry Diamond is more minor compared to Oriko's or Yuma's. This version of Kirika seems far more stable than Oriko Magica's Kirika, however, likely since she is not hunting magical girls, but she is still as excitable and spontaneous as before.
In Symmetry Diamond, Kirika has teamed up with Oriko to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Because Oriko's magic is being quickly consumed by her uncontrollable visions and she does not have much fighting ability, Kirika hunts down grief seeds for her.
Kirika is knocked out by Sasa after being surprised by her "impossible" magic. She later reappears to save Oriko from being killed by Sasa and subsequently destroys Sasa's facade, before helping Oriko to bring down Sasa and her witches. She helps Oriko find Yuma a new family in the epilogue.
It is revealed in chapter 2 that Kirika constantly texts Oriko during break time at school. This leads Oriko to worry when Kirika doesn't send her text messages due to being knocked out.
Kirika is last seen in The Last Agate going up against Walpurgisnacht with Oriko.
Kirika in Sadness Prayer
Sadness Prayer explains how Oriko and Kirika's first meeting really went; Kirika ambushed Oriko after she fought a witch, and the two duelled. Oriko then outsmarted Kirika in an attack, but didn't end up killing her, much to Kirika's surprise. The two then teamed up to find a way to defeat Kriemhild Gretchen.
Later, Kirika kills Oriko's school friend Komaki over a grief seed, without really knowing who she really was. Afterwards, she goes into a panic, fearing Oriko's retribution, but Oriko forgives her.
Witch form
Kirika's witch form is a long, towering creature mostly composed of female torsos. She wears a hat with an eyeball perched on it, and is armed with two long scythes. Like she could as a magical girl, she has the ability to slow down her opponents.
Her minions are blob-shaped creatures with hats. Large maws open up on their bodies to devour victims.
This witch is known as Margot by fans due to some speculation based on the background of her barrier.
Powers, Weapons & Abilities
Kirika's weapons are long, curved claws worn on her wrists and hands. There are three blades on each hand usually, though she can manifest more and have 5 on each hand. With these, she is able to slice open her opponents with six separate cuts, as well as tear apart restraining magic like Mami's ribbon.
She also exhibits the ability to slow her enemies down, giving the illusion of her having exceptional acrobatic agility and speed. Kirika's ability can also be used on herself, as she shows when she slows down her own transformation into a witch. It's notable that when she first met Oriko she was gathering her fallen belongings while being told by bystanders to hurry up; it's possible her powers were derived from this event, as she wished to change her personality in order to befriend Oriko.
Noisy Citrine revealed that she has named two of her attacks. "Stepping Fang" is an attack in which Kirika releases her claws and throws them, in order to hit targets she cannot reach herself in time. "Vampire Fang" is a powered-up version of her normal attack, able to split a witch in half with one hit.
- Kirika is seen reading yuri manga in Noisy Citrine.
- Some fans have noted similarities between Kirika and Touhou Project character Renko Usami.
- It is a common speculation that Kirika is the magical girl form of one of the witches seen in the anime. Patricia has been suggested as a possibility, based off Kirika's uniform on the cover of volume 2 (Note also that Patricia uses threads; Oriko's name means "weaver girl"). This particular idea has been debunked. Others, pointing to the sleeves of her magical girl outfit, suggest that she may be involved in the creation of Walpurgisnacht.
- However, Kirika becomes a witch in the second volume, and her witch form does not resemble any of the witches seen in the anime. It's still possible that she is involved in the creation of Walpurgisnacht, which is a combination of witches.
- On the other hand the name of Kirika's witch form is unknown, and there is a precedent for witches having dramatically different alternate forms (see Charlotte).
- Debunked in Symmetry Diamond.
- However, Kirika becomes a witch in the second volume, and her witch form does not resemble any of the witches seen in the anime. It's still possible that she is involved in the creation of Walpurgisnacht, which is a combination of witches.
- Some fans suspect that Kirika's witch form is named Margot, from the signs that can be seen around her barrier.
- Noisy Citrine, which focuses on Kirika, revealed that her soul gem is citrine-colored, thus the title.
- Her last name is written with kanji meaning "give" or "do something for".
- Her first name is written in katakana which has no particular meaning. When written in kanji, it can be read many different ways, ex. "fog fire".
- When images of Kirika first surfaced, many fans thought she was Sayaka.
- Kirika and Oriko are exactly 121 days and 3 hours apart in age. Kirika is the younger of the two.
- Kirika commented that she often skipped school, which could explain her absence in the anime.

Les reportes del cases in Camera Stellata, 1593 to 1609 from the original ms. of John Hawarde edited by William Paley Baildon Published 1894 Pages 21-22
In Camera Stelllata, 16 Maij, Eiizab. 35.
Walter Crouche, plaintiff. Sir Walter Hungerford and others, defendants.
The case was for forging a deed, and (p.22) the point was the erasure of a word contained in the deed, to wit, [in the sentence] habendum sibi et assignatis suis, he erased assignatis and wrote heredibus. But at the end of the hearing, (for the case was two days in hearing.) Sir Walter Hungerford was acquitted for want of proof; for Crouche could not prove that the forgery was done by Hungerford himself; and so Sir Walter Hungerford was dismissed to the common law. The Lord Keeper cited that [the words] to hold to him and his assigns to his own proper use and to the use of his heirs and assigns were adjudged in Bostons case to be an estate for life, and a fee simple in use.

How to Calculate Bending Stress in Beams
In this tutorial we will look at how to calculate the bending stress of a beam using a bending stress formula that relates the longitudinal stress distribution in a beam to the internal bending moment acting on the beam's cross section. We assume that the beam's material is linear-elastic (i.e. Hooke's Law is applicable). Bending stress is important and since beam bending is often the governing result in beam design, it's important to understand.
1. Calculating by Hand
Let's look at an example. Consider the I-beam shown below:
At some distance along the beam's length (the x-axis) it is experiencing an internal bending moment (M) which you would normally find using a bending moment diagram. The general formula for bending or normal stress on the section is given by:
\sigma_{bend} = \dfrac{My}{I} \text{ where:} \\\\
M &= \text{the internal bending moment about the section's neutral axis} \\
y &= \text{the perpendicular distance from the neutral axis to a point on the section} \\
I &= \text{the moment of inertia of the section area about the neutral axis}
Given a particular beam section, it is obvious to see that the bending stress will be maximised by the distance from the neutral axis (y). Thus, the maximum bending stress will occur either at the TOP or the BOTTOM of the beam section depending on which distance is larger:
\sigma_{bend,max} = \dfrac{Mc}{I} \text{ where:} \\\\
c = \text{the perpendicular distance from the neutral axis to the farthest point on the section}
Lets's consider the real example of our I-beam shown above. In our previous moment of inertia tutorial we already found the moment of inertia about the neutral axis to be I = 4.74×108 mm4. Additionally, in the centroid tutorial we found the centroid and hence the location of the neutral axis to be 216.29 mm from the bottom of the section. This is shown below:
Obviously, it is very common to require the MAXIMUM bending stress that the section experiences. For example, say we know from our bending moment diagram that the beam experiences a maximum bending moment of 50 kN-m or 50,000 Nm (converting bending moment units). Then we need to find whether the top or the bottom of the section is furthest from the neutral axis. Clearly the bottom of the section is further away with a distance c = 216.29 mm. We now have enough information to find the maximum stress using the bending stress formula above:
\sigma_{bend,max} = \dfrac{Mc}{I} \text{ where:} \\\\
M &= 50 \text{ kNm} = 50,000 \text{ Nm} \\
c &= 216.29\text{ mm} = 0.21629\text{ m} \text{ (BOTTOM)} \\
I &= 4.74\times10^{8} \text{ mm}^{4} = 4.74\times10^{-4} \text{ m}^{4} \\\\
\therefore \sigma_{bend,max} &= \dfrac{(50,000 \text{ Nm})(0.21629\text{ m})}{4.74\times10^{-4} \text{ m}^{4}} \\\\
\sigma_{bend,max} &= 22,815,400 \text{ N/m}^{2} \text{ or Pa} \\
\sigma_{bend,max} &= 22.815 \text { MPa} \\
Similarly we could find the bending stress at the top of the section, as we know that it is y = 159.71 mm from the neutral axis (NA):
\sigma_{bend,top} &= \dfrac{My}{I}\\\\
\sigma_{bend,top} &= \dfrac{(50,000 \text{ Nm})(0.15971\text{ m})}{4.74\times10^{-4} \text{ m}^{4}} \\\\
\sigma_{bend,top} &= 16,847,046 \text{ N/m}^{2} \text{ or Pa} \\
\sigma_{bend,top} &= 16.847 \text { MPa} \\
The last thing to worry about is whether the stress is causing compression or tension of the section's fibers. If the beam is sagging like a "U" then the top fibers are in compression (negative stress) while the bottom fibers are in tension (positive stress). If the beam is sagging like an upside-down "U" then it is the other way around: the bottom fibers are in compression and the top fibers are in tension.
2. How to Calculate Stress using SkyCiv Beam
Of course you don't need to do these calculations by hand because you can use the SkyCiv Beam – bending stress calculator to find shear and bending stress in a beam! Simply start by modeling the beam, with supports and apply loads. Once you hit solve, the sftware will show the max stresses from this bending stress calculator. The image below shows an example of an I-beam experiencing bending stress:

To the man who molested me,
You've been a part of my memory for most of my life. The things you said… the things you did… have tainted my ability to truly love myself.
That day forever changed me.
While I didn't understand what was happening, I unconsciously made an agreement with you about who I was, and who I should become. And since I've never been able to be that woman, I've struggled to be comfortable in my own skin.
… I've hated you for that.
As I think back to that day, it's as clear in my mind this moment as it was forty-two years ago.
It started out like any other day. I woke up happy. The world was good. Adults were safe. And evil didn't exist.
And as I jumped on my tricycle, I had no idea I was peddling away from life as I knew it.
When I let my mind wander back, I can hear the sounds coming from the tools of the construction crew you worked with.
I remember you taking my hand in the midst of the busyness and leading me into that room… closing the door behind us.
I can feel the confusion and fear stir in my stomach now as I recall how you made me look at the images of naked women in a magazine. And I remember your anger when I tried to look away.
I remember how you escorted me from one room to another, closing yet another door to my innocence.
When I close my eyes, I can see you lifting me onto the ironing board. It seemed so out of place.
I can conjure up the rush of emotions I felt in that room… the ones telling me this was wrong. And while I cannot bring your face into focus, I've never been able to blur out the way you touched me or the way you asked me to touch you.
I remember how I screamed for help, only to realize my voice never made it past my lips. But your voice did. I can recall, with great clarity, the words you spoke to me.
"This is your fault. If you tell anybody, you will be in trouble.
You are bad and dirty and will never be worth… anything."
Who says such a thing to a 4-year-old?
Who does such a thing to a 4-year-old?
And as you turned and walked out of my life forever, your words sank into me… took root… and became part of my DNA.
For most of my life, they've held such power over me. I have whole-heartedly believed them. I've struggled to feel beautiful… valuable.
The words you spoke over me have been like heavy weights, dragging me deeper and deeper into a pit of worthlessness.
… I've hated you for that.
Sometimes I wonder if you remember me – if you recall what happened. Does it haunt you? Or have you buried it deep, distancing yourself from it.
Was I the first of many… or the only one?
While our encounter may never cross your mind, it's forever etched in mine.
But God has been reworking the effects of that day.
– He is removing those words of hate that you spewed all over me, and replacing them with the truth of who I really am.
– He is untangling my self-esteem from the places you tied it, and anchoring it in Him instead.
– He is healing my little 4-year-old heart, showing me that I am good enough.
– He has saved me from living a life of defeat and destruction.
And while this process has been painful… and scary… and lonely… and long… it's working.
Psalm 34:18 says "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those whose spirits are crushed."
I'm living proof.
So I'm writing to tell you that you no longer have power over me. Your words and actions are only a part of my past… not my future.
So no matter what shame or guilt has been attached to that day, God has removed it. It wasn't mine to carry, anyway.
And you know what…
I am beautiful.
I hold great value in the eyes of my Daddy.
I am more than good enough.
I am powerful.
And I am greatly loved by my Creator.
Because of those truths, what you meant for harm… has been Divinely trumped.
And as a result, I no longer hate you. Even more… I forgive you.
But rest assured, there will come a day when you will answer to my Heavenly Father for the things you did to me.
… and justice will be served.

Ecclesiastes 3:1says "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven."
As we draw to the end of the first quarter of the year and having just celebrated the biggest event in the Christian calendar, it seems now is a good time to pause and reflect on the year thus far.
Solomon's words in the above passage are a great reminder that life happens over seasons or appointed times. An important part of understanding God's will, is figuring out what season or appointed time we are in and responding to it accordingly. Too often we can run ahead, trying to do a million and one things that may be good, but not right for the season of life we find ourselves in. This way of living can leave us frustrated, tired and even at times burnt out if we don't recognise it early and adapt swiftly.
In Ephesians, Paul explains how we are God's workmanship, which by definition means that we are a constant work in progress. God is at work in every season crafting and shaping us into the men and woman He ultimately wants us to become, so that He can continue to use us to do greater things in His name.
Recently, I have experienced this firsthand in the Men's Ministry. By now I had hoped to be a lot further down the track in growing the ministry, but instead I have found myself in a season of preparation and laying the foundations on which the ministry can continue to be built. Improved patience and a greater trust in God's timing have also been part of the fruit in recognising and responding to this season.
What season of life do you find yourself in? A season of growing or waiting or embracing or grieving or searching?
What do you think God may be teaching you in this season? What part of your character is God refining in you?
Whichever season we may find ourselves in, "let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." (Hebrews 10:24)

Drawing in Mission Bay …
Yay … in the process of overcoming my fears about drawing with a group, I have recently joined a Sketch Group and today was the first time out with them for me. We should have been drawing the fountain at Mission Bay, but we arrived to find that it's been drained and has a high fence all the way around it, so we all went in different directions to draw, and had the show and tell back at the Stone House. Maybe some of the ladies in the group will turn up next time.

Sneakin' Around
I tried this method of working as part of Sketchbook Skool Semester 1 homework. Background blue is a wash of Dr P.H. Martin's India Ink; pumpkin coloured layer is liquid gouache and the sneaker was done "Contour Method" (do the whole outline first, then fill in the middle/details) with a permanent black pen. It didn't take as long as I thought it would, but it was much more difficult than if I had sketched with a pencil first, then pen.

There wasn't mush room for rain…
While I was dog-minding Charlie at my friend's house during Waitangi Weekend, we chanced upon this wondrous sight while out walking in St John's Bush. I didn't have my phone or camera with me, and as rain looked imminent, I finished our walk and had to collect the camera and walk all the way back to get the photo. I knew they would be spoiled if it rained. Isn't nature spectacular?

a little bit retro, only a little bit crazy
Here's a pile of retro fabric samples that I rescued out of a wallpaper & fabric sample book many years ago. The inner hoarder in me knew they could have another life some time in the future. They needed a soak to get more glue off the back of them, then a rugged swishing in the washing machine, and what better than a public airing on a bright sunny day. I have no idea what will become of them, but I'm sure my stitchy group friends will have lots of ideas.

There is nothing like yellow to brighten up my day …..
Inspired by the crew at Designworks who are doing "yellow" as the daily theme for the 2013 100 Days Project, and by my love of colour themed photography I did on our last Europe trip e.g. "Orangestrial" I felt the urge to put a yellow grid together today. These were photos that I took on a trip to Dunedin & Queenstown in February 2011. I did not take any of these photos with a yellow theme in mind, but this tells me that subconsciously my mind embraces colour.

EDM 91 Apple
Gosh, I haven't done an EDM drawing since January this year. I've been trying out a new fountain pen called a Duke 209 which I saw Laure Ferlita use in a You Tube demo. It has a hooked calligraphy nib and is capable of producing very fine lines as well as very fat lines. I have drawn with it every day for the past 3 weeks so the process has obviously given me some confidence back and I am really enjoying exploring its capabilities. Hillary will be pleased that I'm back in the EDM saddle, so to speak.

Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It …
On a recent trip to Melbourne, my friend Alana and I checked out the Fitzroy Market on a hot Saturday morning. A myriad of vintage delights were on offer including the Ukulele Band who turned up to entertain the crowd. Alana left with some impressive purchases and my special find was an 80's Milano watch.

Alana recently bought a Canon 1100D camera and is learning about it's manual functions. I gave her some guidance, then sent her on a colour mission round the market. She chose purple as her colour theme and off she went. The brief was to photograph 9 purple items, but once she started there was no stopping her! Check out Alana's blog and purple post here http://www.copescuriosities.com/ In the mean time, I chose red and here's what I found in a short space of time…
What a great day we had Alana, thanks so much.

Gosh it's been hectic lately – packing and moving house in Winter is not much fun. Hillary and I took time out today to get back on the sketching track. Neither of us are confident sketching people and in particular faces, so we set ourselves a challenge list of 10 different types of faces to find in magazines and try to sketch. We both found it difficult, but the good food, gossip and antics of Asher cat kept us going.

Shadows in Tin Tacks Park
After Hillary and I finished our morning's gossip & sketching, we ventured out into the sunshine in the small park next to Brick By Brick Cafe in Onehunga. We challenged each other to take six "postable" photos. I thought they were to be of six different things. Hillary thought they were to be six of the same thing. It doesn't matter, both posts are interesting and a good start back into our photography practise. p.s. Did you see the heart shape formed by my arms holding the camera? I couldn't do that if I tried!

I woke up at 5 am today with a massive pain in the chest. For the next 4 hours, I couldn't move much and had to just keep lying in the same position. There are no doctors in my area until 12 noon and I live alone. I had to wait till then to go to a doc. I have had this kind of debilitating pain before, they said it could be costochondria or a Vitamin D deficiency and I did complete a 3 month course of medicines, so this time the recurrence took me by surprise.
But I was angry at life, God, at my boyfriend at at my own decisions that I end up being alone when I am sick. As I lay down in pain I kept alternating between fear and resolving to do something so that I don't end up sick and alone anymore. I kept thinking what did I do wrong that it has been this way for some years now. Is it luck? Is is some stupidity on my part? Why dont I have the brilliant support system that everyone seems to have. I wonder from time to time that if I suffer a heart attack and die inside my room, no one might get to know for a couple of days. Sure my parents might call frantically at work and someone might be sent to check on me, but otherwise just nothing, no one. My boyfriend is another town, my parents too and there seems to be no possibility of them or me being able to move to each other and handle the job and finances part.
So I am angry. I feel betrayed by life and I don't know why I have to have this loneliness to bear and I remember myself to have been lonely forever now. The meds have worked and I feel a little better now but I am just so disappointed with myself and life.

WILMINGTON, Del. -- (Mealey's) Former joint compound
producer Bondex International Inc. and its related holding company Specialty
Products Holding Corp. face an estimated $1.16 billion in pending and future
asbestos personal injury claims, about double what the companies estimate their
asbestos liabilities at, a federal bankruptcy judge in Delaware overseeing the
companies' joint Chapter 11 case ruled May 20 (In re: Specialty
Products Holding Corp., et al., No. 10-11780, D. Del. Bkcy.; 2013 Bankr.
LEXIS 2051) [an enhanced version of this opinion is available to lexis.com
Estimated Liability
Specialty Products and subsidiary Bondex filed voluntary
Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware in 2010 due to thousands of asbestos personal injury lawsuits filed
against the companies. A trial was held in January 2013 to estimate the
dollar amount of present and future mesothelioma claims caused by exposure to
the debtors' asbestos-containing products. The estimate will be used to
determine how much money will be needed to fund a trust under Section 524(g) of
the Bankruptcy Code to evaluate and pay asbestos claims.
At the hearing and in post-trial briefing, the debtors
argued that, rather than basing their estimated liability only on their past
settlements of asbestos claims in the tort system, their historical payments to
claimants should be reduced for various reasons to assess their present and
future claims. By making such reductions, the debtors' expert, economist
Charles H. Mullin, estimated the debtors' total current and future liabilities
at $300 million to $575 million "net present value."
By contrast, lawyer and behavioral scientist Mark
Peterson, the expert for the asbestos creditors' committee (ACC), pegged the
debtors' liability for mesothelioma claims at $1.25 billion, and economist
Thomas Vasquez, the expert for the future claimants' representative (FCR),
testified that the debtors' estimated total mesothelioma liability is $1.1
'Novel Approach'
Bankruptcy Judge Judith K. Fitzgerald sided with the ACC
and FCR and refused to accept the debtors' "novel approach" to estimating their
liability. Adopting for the most part Vasquez's findings, the bankruptcy
judge said "an appropriate estimate for mesothelioma claims, pending and future,
is $1.1 billion net present value."
The parties previously agreed that 6 percent would be
added to the mesothelioma estimate to cover all other asbestos personal injury
claims, bringing the total estimate for the debtors' asbestos personal injury
liability to $1,166,000,000.
Bankruptcy Judge Fitzgerald rejected all of the debtors'
arguments as to why their past settlement amounts should be reduced for the
purpose of estimating future liability. For example, the debtors asserted
that their products contained only chrysotile asbestos, which they said is
significantly less potent than other types of asbestos and that there is
"substantial evidence" that it does not cause mesothelioma at all. In
addition, the debtor's joint compound was mainly used by the do-it-yourself
market, so the potential dose associated with the products was extremely small,
the debtors said.
Video Evidence
The bankruptcy judge pointed out that the debtors'
exposure argument was refuted by a video shown during the estimation trial that
included scenes of a worker mixing the debtors' dry product, creating so much
dust that the worker was barely visible.
"The video demonstrates that any person who mixed or who
was in the area where the mixing occurred was exposed to an extraordinary
quantity of airborne particles," the bankruptcy judge said. "This visual
display of the huge volume of dust that becomes airborne when a bag of the
product involved here is opened and mixed with water, so as to be manually applied
to a wall to seal the joints, is clear demonstration that anyone exposed
(potentially 40 million people) could inhale the product and potentially
develop an asbestos disease. Thus, the number of claims, and Debtors'
potential responsibility for them, is apparent."
Bankruptcy Judge Fitzgerald also rejected Mullin's
attempts to minimize the debtors' asbestos liability by categorizing the
companies' historical settlement payments as either indemnity payments or
implicit defense costs to reduce the debtors' settlement payments by an amount
that the debtors now say represented their effort to avoid legal fees.
"Dr. Mullin's implicit defense cost theory has not been
quantified in reported cases and his attempt to separate those costs out as a
component of settlement that would reduce Debtors' 'several share' of asbestos
payments is theoretical and never tested," the bankruptcy judge said.
"Although, arguendo, we can accept the proposition that Debtors settled
cases, in part, to avoid legal fees, we cannot accept the proposition that
Debtors' historical payments must or should be reduced by those amounts that
Debtors now attribute to implicit defense costs."
The debtors' corporate parent, RPM International Inc.,
said in a news release that the debtors intend to appeal the ruling and that
the appeal process is anticipated to last two to three years. RPM says
the debtors "firmly believe that the opinion substantially overstates the
amount of their liability and is not supported by the facts or the law."
The debtors are represented by Daniel J. DeFranceschi,
Paul N. Heath and Zachary I. Shapiro of Richards, Layton & Finger in Wilmington and Gregory M. Gordon and Dan B. Prieto of
Jones Day in Dallas.
The committee is represented by Natalie D. Ramsey and
Davis Lee Wright of Montgomery, McCracken, Walker & Rhoads in Wilmington,
Mark B. Sheppard and Lathrop B. Nelson III of the firm's Philadelphia office
and Nathan D. Finch of Motley Rice in Washington, D.C. The FCR is
represented by James L. Patton Jr., John T. Dorsey, Edwin J. Harron and Sharon
M. Zieg of Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor in Wilmington.

Fox Products Corporation in South Whitley, Indiana is the world headquarters for manufacturing bassoons, contrabassoons, oboes and English horns.
The Breaking Winds Bassoon Quartet had the chance to take a tour and learn how bassoons were made!
Here's Mr. Hugo Fox.
Mr. Fox was the principal bassoonist for the Chicago Symphony from 1922-1949. He wanted to create professional bassoons made in the U.S. After retiring, he spent 2 years making the first Fox bassoon in 1951.
1960's: Hugo's son, Alan, learns about instrument manufacturing.
Alan Fox oversaw the development of bassoons, contrabassoons (1970), oboes (1974), and English horns (1999) for over 50 years. Alan was visiting the factory on the day of our tour, and we had the honor of meeting him!
On our trip, we got to hang out with current owner, Tony Starkey!
Here's some of the cool things we saw at the Fox factory:
The mini museum welcomes you with an assortment of bassoons.
The halls are filled with bassoon, after bassoon, after bassoon…
Wood pieces waiting to be boot joints!
We found our favorite varnish – tiger stripes 🙂
So many bells!
Long joints galore
Salivating over the beauty of these tenor joints.
Look Ma, no keys!
This machine drills tone holes.
Overall a wonderful day at Fox Products. Thanks for having us!

OK.. how's this for something strange…
Under Windows the wireless LAN driver can see the access point, register with it using WAP, thinks it's sending packet but doesn't and doesn't receive any packets. It can see the MAC address of the AP and the signal strength etc. This is after wiping the Windows partition and reinstalling with a clean install.
Under Linux the same NDIS driver (from the same install source) loads using ndiswrapper and everything just works as it should.
Erm, what on earth can I be missing which is preventing it all working under Windows? I haven't a clue!
If it weren't for the Linux side of things working perfectly I would think that there was possibly a hardware fault with the receiver or antenna, so it must be software. However, this is a totally clean install of Windows with a clean install of the driver so it shouldn't be a software problem.

Cardboard Crafting: Ana Serrano's Paper Worlds | KCET
Cardboard Crafting: Ana Serrano's Paper Worlds
When she's walking around the city, Ana Serrano is looking out for the little details: A facade paint patch mis-match, the lettering of a hand-crafted, corner liquor store sign, a blooming window box garden. The artist takes it all in, and brings it indoors.
Serrano's cardboard-constructed, three-dimensional worlds are an explosion of color. And in her Highland Park workshop, Serrano is an architect. There, the Mexican-American artist assembles -- and disassembles -- paper-made sculptures inspired by Latino pop culture, and the beauty found in the day-to-day built environment of Los Angeles.

12 Dec Unriddled: The Great Ride-Hailing Rush, the Latest Troubles for Facebook, and More Tech News You Need
"Unriddled" is HubSpot's weekly digest of the tech headlines you need to know. We give you the top tech stories in a quick, scannable way and break it all down. It's tech news: explained.
1. Ride-Hailing IPO Season
A day after ride-hailing app Lyft said that it had filed its S-1 last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that the company's top competitor, Uber, had followed in its footsteps and filed for an initial public offering (IPO) of its own. While the timing of Lyft's IPO is somewhat uncertain (some are predicting a spring date between late March and early April), Uber's filing signals that the company could go public as early as Q1 2019.
i am extremely excited for uber and lyft racing to beat each other to market, likely in the spring (end of march to April)
what would be especially exciting is if they both went public on the same week

2. British Parliament Publishes Internal Facebook Emails
UK Parliament last week published over 250 redacted pages of internal Facebook documents, including emails. The documents were previously sealed in California, where Facebook is being sued by a company called Six4Three — the founder of which put the materials into the possession of UK lawmakers during a trip to London. While the contents of the documents contain what some call "lacking in anything crazy damning," they do point to Facebook's approach to competition. Read full story >>
3. Amazon Will Crowdsource Alexa's Answers
In a classic case of, "How could this possibly go wrong?", Amazon says it will launch Alexa Answers: a program that invites a number of users to help Alexa answer questions for which the voice assistant might not have sufficient information.
"Once in a while, customers throw curve balls at us with various questions," writes Alexa Information VP Bill Barton in an official blog post. "We're involving the Alexa customer community to help us answer questions Alexa can't quite answer yet."
The program, which Barton says is "invitation-only," will allow select customers to contribute answers and details to questions that Alexa has been unable to answer. Read full story >>
4. Amazon's Go Stores Are Expanding
In other Amazon news, the company says that it will expand its cashierless Go stores in both size and location. Last week, TechCrunch reported that the ecommerce giant is testing the cashierless technology in larger store formats, leaving many wondering if it's planning to bring this feature to Whole Foods — a natural grocery chain that it owns. Now, according to Bloomberg, Amazon is also exploring the possibility of opening Go stores in airports, "to win business from hungry, time-pressed travelers." Read full story >>
5. Curated News From Google Assistant
As Google itself pointed out in a recent announcement, radio is almost a purely "in-the-moment" medium that allows users to tune into whatever the current programming might be, regardless of context. Now, the company says that it has partnered with a number of news organizations, ranging from local NPR stations to the New York Times, to create personalized news playlists for users. With the help of Assistant's AI, the playlists will be created based on when the user asks for it to be played, as well as her listening interests. Google says it has built an an open specification for news organizations that want to create audio programming for this feature. Read full story >>

We've all be there, immersed in a hot steamy date moment and then BAM something unexpected and rather unfortunate occurs.
What on earth do you do next though? How you deal with the situation in hand will determine whether the steamy date is a success or not… let's have a look at what could happen!
You get absolutely trollied!
We all know that alcohol is a confidence booster and when drinks are freely flowing, you can easily get carried away and drink too much. If you are on a first date and act like a goon due to too many sherberts, you can pretty much guarantee you shall not be hearing from your date. Drink soft drinks, limit your drinking and even drive to a first date so that you have an excuse not to drink. If you are a few weeks/months in a relationship, then you will certainly find out what your date is made of!
Erectile Dysfunction
Such a taboo subject, that really shouldn't be! People simply assume that ED is associated with older men, but you would be surprised at how many young men also suffer from the problem! In fact 26% of men under 40 have experienced Erectile dysfunction according to a survey by the Journal of Sexual Health. Males feel under twice as much pressure to perform sexually according to the survey, very bittersweet really, as it is reassuring that men also feel pressure when it comes to bedroom antics! Only 9% of people surveyed are aware of Erectile Dysfunction treatments available, of which there are many!
Astonishingly Only 38% of people surveyed are aware there are multiple causes. Causes of ED can include weight, smoking, alcohol, illegal drugs, lack of exercise, anxiety and depression. Another reason to have a limit on the amount of alcohol consumed!
Forgetting someone's name
It can actually happen, or especially the wrong name used. How often have I called my dog by Mini Me's name? I certainly wish I had a pound coin for every time I have! I'm not entirely sure how you can get out of this situation in all fairness as it has never happened to me – laugh it off and move on, I am sure you will never feel as awkward as the person who uttered the name… let them grovel and revel in all the apologies!
Whatever awkwardness occurs, just make sure the steam is coming from other places as opposed to your ears!

Ontario Delivering New Postsecondary Campus in Brampton
Province Improving Access to Higher Education and Training for Students in Peel Region
Ontario will provide students with greater access to high-quality postsecondary education with a new postsecondary site in the growing Region of Peel.
Mitzie Hunter, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development, and Harinder Malhi, Minister of the Status of Women, announced today a new postsecondary site in Brampton to improve access to postsecondary education in one of the fastest growing communities in Canada.
Focusing on science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM), programming will be delivered in partnership by Ryerson University and Sheridan College of Applied Arts and Technology. The new site will provide up to 2,000 new undergraduate spaces within five to 10 years.
Students enrolled at the new site will also have access to experiential learning opportunities — such as co-operative education, internship programs and case studies — to help them develop the skills they need to find and keep good jobs in the province's changing economy.
Ontario's plan to support care, create opportunity and make life more affordable during this period of rapid economic change includes a higher minimum wage and better working conditions, free tuition for hundreds of thousands of students, easier access to affordable child care, and free prescription drugs for everyone under 25, and 65 or over, through the biggest expansion of medicare in a generation.
Quick Facts
- Ontario will invest $90 million for the construction of a new postsecondary site in Brampton and will also support land purchase.
- The site for the new campus will be at the south-east corner of Church Street West and Mill Street North in Brampton.
- Peel is one of the fastest growing communities in Canada and is located along Ontario's Innovation SuperCorridor, home to dense pockets of start-ups, research institutions and world-class talent.
- Population growth over the next 20 years is expected to be concentrated in and around the City of Toronto, including York, Peel and Halton Regions.
- Currently, the combined 18-24 year old population of Halton/Peel is almost 200,000 and is anticipated to grow by almost 20 per cent by 2035.
- Ontario has invested $4.1 billion in capital funding for colleges and universities since 2003.
Additional Resources
"As one of our fastest growing communities, Brampton is home to dynamic, innovative people with the talent and ambition to do great things. Government needs to support their potential in every way — with new roads and transit, better hospitals and schools, and access to a great education. The new postsecondary site in Brampton will unlock exciting new opportunities for people across Peel Region. Combined with free tuition for more than 235,000 students, it means more young people will be able to get ahead and pursue their dreams."
Kathleen Wynne
"Ontario succeeds when we leverage the competitive advantage of our people. Expanding access to postsecondary education in one of the fastest growing areas of our province is crucial to that success. By delivering a high-quality postsecondary education and in-demand skills training close to home, we are preparing more students to find good jobs in the communities they already call home."
Mitzie Hunter
"The growth of the Brampton community has resulted in recognition by our government that a postsecondary presence is valuable in our city. I'm so pleased that Brampton has found partners who are eager to expand their institutions and offer students local access to classes and experiential learning opportunities. There are many Brampton families who are excited by and will benefit from this prospect."
Harinder Malhi
"In expanding to Brampton, Ryerson University will provide much-needed university programs to students in one of the fastest-growing and most diverse communities in Canada. We are looking forward to working with Sheridan to provide students in the region with innovative academic programs and want to thank the province of Ontario, the city of Brampton, and Sheridan College for being such outstanding and supportive partners."
Dr. Mohamed Lachemi
"Sheridan is exceptionally proud to partner with Ryerson University on this exciting venture. For 50 years, we've been proud to call Brampton home. Today marks the beginning of a new era. We're building on Sheridan's strength in teaching creative problem solving, the established track record of both of our institutions for incubating innovation, and our shared belief in the value of experiential learning. Together, we'll provide even more opportunities for students to gain an education that's highly relevant for the times."
Dr. Mary Preece
"This is a once in a generation opportunity for Brampton, and we couldn't be more pleased to be partnering with two leading institutions – Ryerson University and Sheridan College – on bringing a new campus and centre for innovation to downtown Brampton. Today's exciting announcement marks the start of transformation for Brampton, and new opportunities for our residents. We are looking forward to continuing our excellent partnership with Ryerson and Sheridan to make Brampton a destination for learning and innovation."

The Brief
In another collaboration with Sky Bet, JMP UK created a series of 90-second videos during the EFL play-off finals at Wembley Stadium, centred around the emotional rush of the beautiful game.
With heart rate monitors fitted to key personnel during the high-pressure encounters, the videos displayed physical and emotional reactions during key moments of the games – including the Sky Bet Championship play-off final between Reading and Huddersfield, during which supporters from both sides were featured.
Despite TV broadcasting rights prohibiting match footage from being used, JMP UK created engaging and exciting content by focusing on fan reactions to key moments.
"From a Sky Bet perspective working with the JMP team is inspiring as it combines the stability of an established business with the youthful enthusiasm of a start up. The future working with JMPUK is extremely exciting! Watch this space.... "

Ladies and gentlemen, let's all sit down at the table, raise a glass, and toast the music. Many of us listen to a lot of it. A zillion songs, more or less, floating around our collective consciousness. Some songs are dismissed right off, others burrow into our brain, and a few delve deep into our soul. Blame it on the melody, the lyrics, a particular time and place connected with the song, or something else. Everybody has a story connected with their favorites. One such tune, for me, is none other than Roy Harper's Another Day.
Roy Harper, the bloke immortalized by Led Zeppelin in Hats Off to (Roy) Harper is a British singer-songwriter. Well, he's more than that, better known in the UK than stateside. Another Day is from Harper's fourth studio album, 1970s Flat Baroque and Beserk. He said "Another Day is one of the greatest love song I ever wrote." The record, unhappily, escaped my notice then. I did catch on to the next one, though, Harper's scathingly brilliant When An Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease (titled HQ in his native UK).
It took the better part of the decade for another chance with Another Day. A video of the song surfaced on Kate Bush's 1979 Christmas Special tv show (shown in the UK). The video, a collaboration between Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, offers a poignant illustration. The clip opens with Bush and Gabriel sitting at a kitchen table. They look straight ahead Behind them, a video backdrop of Gabriel and Bush, acting as their own inner thoughts. Gabriel begins "The kettles on, the sun has gone, another day. She offers me, Tibetan tea, on a flower tray. She's at the door, she wants to score, she really needs to say." Bush picks up "I once loved you a long time ago, you know. Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow, you know. But I couldn't let myself go. Not knowing what on earth there was to know. But I wish that I had cause I'm feeling so sad that I never had one of your children." Their anguish is absolute.
This is the version I knew first. I'm a KB fan since her Wuthering Heights debut and a Gabriel fan since he sang about Carpet Crawlers. The musical collaborations between the two have always been special. Perfect for this song and video. Later, I sought out Harper's recording so I could make the comparison. Both versions were haunting and both were different. Both are superb. However, Elizabeth Frasier (This Mortal Coil/Cocteau Twins) presents the one I prefer. She coos, soars, and envelops her voice around the lyrics, "Across the room, inside a tomb, a chance is waxed and wained. The night is young, why are we so hung-up, in each others chains-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. I must take her, I must make her, while the dove domains- heh-heh-heh-heh-heh- heh-heh." Frasier's delivery slightly holds back the affectivity, but it's the most ethereal. I've always liked ethereal.
