Pentecost 2019
Dear Friends,
It was a fascinating sight. We were at Sauble Beach and had made our usual walk down to the beach to watch the sunset. As we stood there, a flock of Canada Geese paddled by parallel to the beach. There were about thirty-five of them and the flock was composed of both adults and young ones. The flock came ashore just down from us and proceeded to cross the beach heading for the dunes where they clearly intended to settle down for the night.
What I found so interesting was the behaviour of one goose in particular. Whether in the water or on land he followed the rest but at a distance; indeed I wondered at first if he was even a part of the flock. Now contrary to what we might think, he was not an outcast or social pariah. He was clearly on guard, his head constantly swivelling around as he watched the other birds and scanned the area for any potential threats. As I watched him standing on the beach with his neck straight up looking here and there I wondered; what would happen if anyone were foolish enough to get too close? I certainly had no intentions of finding out!
As I thought about this, it occurred to me that in some ways, this is a parallel between us and our relationship with God. As we “paddle” or “waddle” our way through life, are we always aware of the One who is with us yet apart from us, the One who is on guard and ceaselessly watching? One of the great promises of the Bible is that God is always watching over us. In the tremendous words of a great psalm of faith:
“He will not let your foot slip –
He who watches over you will not slumber;
Indeed, He who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you.”
(NIV Psalm 121:3-5a)
We may sometimes be completely oblivious of God but He is never oblivious of us and it is this that sets us free to journey through life confidently with neither dread nor fear.
Wishing you a most blessed summer,
Shawn

…..when it involves the muslim extremists.
Below is an excerpt of the president’s statement yesterday after the capture of the bomber in the white cap, the younger of the Brothers Ts.
I ask you: If this had turned out to be an anwser to his most fervant wish and been some nutty outlyer in the tea party or what is termed right ring extremist, would he have said things like “don’t rush to judgment, don’t judge motivations of any person and especially of any group of people.”
You know he would not have. He would have been the first one to jump up and condemn the entire group, talk radio, all the bitter clingers he hates. You know it’s true.
He could barely contain himself in his first statement on the subject. He said something in reference to Patriot’s Day or Tax Day and the media immediately followed up on that. And I heard references on the media stating that pressure cooker bombs were a signature of the “right wing extremists.”
The corrupt media was just sitting on the edge of their seats ready to run endless derogatory stories and segments about the “evil” tea party, just as they did after the Tucson shooting, and there, it was entirely false anyway. The left wing in this country baby the terrorists and hate their fellow-citizens who have a different view of what course this country should take.
That’s just something I cannot comprehend. I saw a story that the AFT was down in Georgia the end of March with 40 some officers raiding the home of some guy who had videos on line of explosions. We would have been better served if they had been looking for the real terrorists. Yet this morning I hear “having vile video on line is not against the law, we have freedom of speech.”
Well, it seems the terrorists have more freedom of speech than we do. So, oh, no let’s not “rush to judgment” not even when it’s plain as the nose on your face what this is all about. It’s about muslim extremists, muslim terrorists and you just cannot twist it around to be anybody else.
You just have to laugh at the character or lack thereof of this obama. Without fail, he waits until all the crisis is over and then jumps up and declares victory. While things are going on, you don’t hear anything from him. Ever notice that?
Oh, and by the way, I see where some senator has already proposed a bill to ban gun powder. Just laughable. I suggest they get in there and ban back packs, pressure cookers, and certainly knives, since 14 people were stabbed on some campus in Texas.

The chapbook I spoke of is ready to submit. I finished the acknowledgements and formatting yesterday. This is the first time I've seen a chapbook through to completion and now it sits, waiting.
I planned on submitting it directly after I finished. It's as ready as I can make it. But the press is closed to free submissions until February. (They were only supposed to be open this month but extended it to Valentine's Day because they hit their "submission cap" on Submittable.)
It's waiting, and I'm losing my nerve. I wish I could've sent it when I was feeling proud and had a bit of confidence. Each hour it stays put, the worse it appears. I now hate nearly every poem in it, think the link between poems isn't strong enough, believe the title too amateur, etc. Eight out of eighteen poems in it have been previously published (six of which can be found online) which I keep telling myself is too many.
I'm also heading back to my family's soon to assist them during a time of upheaval and can't be certain I'll be back in time to submit. If I miss the window, I must wait another year. Part of me says it's a sign if I'm not back. The chapbook has speculative poetry which most places won't touch so I can't easily shop it elsewhere.
But I finished it. I didn't think I had the guts. It must count, no matter how things go. I'm (slowly) making my way.
*******************************************
What is one writing goal you have yet to accomplish but want to this year? What goal are you not going to tackle and why?
Stay steadfast in your mission, but be true to yourself. If you believe strongly enough in what you are doing, then it's worth pursuing. And if things don't work out then you reorganize yourself and start over. Never give up. Finishing was a huge step forward.
I still want to finish my two nearly completed novels and edit them to a polished stage. I probably won't tackle any of my less complete novel projects because I want to focus on some memoir work. But I'm not going to say never either.

Tossing It Out
Take the project you have the greatest passion for and focus on it. Submitting, editing, etc. is so difficult, you'll need belief and desire to see it through.
I love your blog though, so I believe your memoir would be highly enjoyable. |

Modern Psychology is helping us to understand that we make decisions, not simply through gathering information, but through a mysterious process that involves our instincts and emotions. In this sermon, Fr. Allen argues that following Christ in the fellowship of the Church is the basis we need to hone our instincts and emotions for the sake of the beautiful and the service of God.

The fallout from the Edward Snowden saga is starting to affect global trade relationships.
French outrage at the scale of National Security Agency (NSA) espionage is the latest in a series of aftershocks around the world triggered by Edward Snowden’s revelations about United States and British intelligence that have shaken relations with their allies and partners. European Union state-run oil company, Petrobras.
Rousseff put off a trip to Washington due to have taken place this week and delivered a stinging denunciation of US surveillance from the podium of the UN general assembly in New York last month.
Although the economic and security fallout from the Snowden spy scandal has yet to crystallise fully, there is no doubt that the US and Britain’s soft power, their ability to build alliances on the claim of moral leadership, for example, to tap directly into the backbone of the global internet infrastructure, the Transatlantic fibreoptic cables, scooping up phone and internet data from much of the world, including millions of Europeans.
Leaders such as Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel voiced displeasure and unease, but let the matter drop. The German interior minister, Hans-Peter Friedrich, said he accepted US assurances that the spy programmes complicated negotiations over a new Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership under way between the US and Europe. Both sides had been counting on it for an economic boost.
Turkey
Ankara reacted furiously to the emergence of the government communications headquarters set up internet cafés at the London summit to spy on foreign diplomats has done nothing to enhance its reputation as a reliable host.
Russia
The news that Britain had eavesdropped on then-president Dmitry Medvedev at the 2009 G20 summit has done limited long-term harm to the bilateral relationship.. Rousseff’s snub to Obama and her withering indictment of US surveillance at the UN General Assembly was not just a deep embarrassment for Washington but also US’s dominant position as the world’s internet hub.
Brazil’s leadership has brought others along in its wake.
India
India, which had been muted in its response, this week joined the challenge to US-based internet regulating agencies, such as the International Co-operation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which governs resources like domain names. – © Guardian News & Media 2013

Nice ambience, polite staff, reasonably priced food. Train their brunch menu on weekend. The only bad thing is that my hair smells of the food for the whole day
It was very easy to locate the cafe. The staff are very friendly & they serve with smiles on their faces. My friend & I enjoyed the food & took alot of photos in this lovely cafe
Queen's Cat Cafe has a great atmosphere for gathering with friends & family. The service is good with good food and beverage recommendation. Two thumbs up!
Lovely pastel decor, matching china sets, n cafe was filled with other high tea ladies so there was a buzz! Food was well crafted and delicious. service was friendly and efficient ! The Groupon made the high tea tier price affordable; i am not sure I will pray the full price for it, though. Pastries look delicious but prices quite high. I guess you get what you pay for !
Very good service but was marred by the fact that at time of payment, staff said that Groupon voucher was to be mentioned prior to service even though a reservation was made and voucher code was given under special request. Was charged the full rate as a male staff said that different condiments were used. Paid as I didn't want to embarrass friend who was visiting from overseas.
Lovely ambience for a birthday celebration. Food was nice- a comination of savoury and sweet treats. The portions were just right for us (but we are not big eaters) and we left feeling full and satisfied.
Nice ambience, good food, friendly staff. Final surprise with credit card promotion and return discount voucher. Will recommend to family and friends. Thanks for the great dining experience. |

The binary vectors contain Cas9 (nuclease or nickase) and the gRNA. Cas9 is codon optimized for high expression in monocots and dicots..
For cloning of TALENs we have developed a binary vector which harbors both DNAs on one plasmid. Cloning of the TALE repeat domain can be done either in the SacI-BbvCI or into the AscI-HindIII restriction sites. The present vector contains the Ubi-maize promoter for transformation of monocots. But the TALENs cassette can be simply transfered with SfiI restriction to any other binary containing these restriction sites. Both backbones of the TALENs construct were codon optimized for high expression in monocots and dicots. They are identical in amino acid sequence. But to avoid problems due to repeated sequences, both backbones are not identical in the sequence of the nucleic acid. Both 35s promoters can be easily exchanged. We recommend small promoters, since cloning can be difficult, when the complete construct reaches 20 kb.. |

A Fun Show In The Sky Tomorrow Night
We have a chance at seeing the residual effects of a space shot tomorrow night. At the same time, a meteor shower is underway. Now if the cloud cover gives us the opportunity to see it all. The rocket show could begin around 8 pm EST tomorrow (May 8, 2021). The flight was originally set for this evening.
The space shot involves a NASA rocket. It’s referenced as a “sounding rocket”. That’s a takeoff of the nautical term “to sound” or to take a measurement. In the case of the NASA Black Brant XII, the rocket is designed to address a common but complex question surrounding near-Earth space travel. Different regions of space can be connected by magnetic fields. The issue is determining how energy and momentum are transported through those regions. Without going too deep into the science, the fun part will be the potential view. The rocket will be releasing some chemicals at intervals shortly after blastoff. The chemical trail will create a colored swath through the sky for up to 30 seconds or so and change color as the seconds tick off.
Specialized cameras and measuring gadgets will be standing by to keep track of everything. As the rocket blasts through the sky, it will create a path of energized electrons. Tracking the path of the energized particles will help scientists get more information on the magnetized regions in near-Earth space.
We just get to "Ooh" and "Aah" at the colors.
What would be cool is if a couple of meteors from the Eta Aquarid shower decided to fall through the atmosphere at the same time. The meteor shower peaked yesterday but we still get a chance to see some for a few days yet. We might not get to see much from either the rocket or the meteor shower. Or maybe a little from one but not the other. Or both could show clearly and we get kind of a once-in-a-lifetime show to talk about for years to come. |
Yesterday my SPFBO 7 review for Demons, Ink by Clayton Snyder went up over on Before We Go Blog. This was my selection from my initial batch of books to move on to the next round in the team’s selection process, and the first selection for the team as a whole. We may end up with 9 or 10 books in that second round and from those we’ll narrow it down to a few semi-finalists, and then a finalist.
Anyway, I enjoyed this read and hope you’ll check it out. Click below to be taken to to the review.
As always if you don’t know about SPFBO it’s an annual contest hosted by author Mark Lawrence with 300 self-published fantasy books/authors split between ten judges or judging teams that will eventually work it’s way to a final winner. Check out the SPFBO Webpage for more details and the SPFBO 7 Page for more on this year’s books and judging teams. I hope you’ll follow along! |

From Military.com is this report:
A roadside bomb killed the governor of the southern Muthanna province on Monday, police said, the second assassination of a top provincial official in just over a week.....
On Aug. 11, the governor and police chief of another southern province, Qadasiyah, also were killed in a roadside bombing attack..
Muthanna was the first province that was transferred to Iraqi control last year.
Yep, really secure; I again want to suggest my plan for marginalizing the Sadrists from their base of support:
Have the US fully embrace him, provide billions in unaccountable dollars, and publicly distribute numerous photographs of top US officials shaking hands and cutting ribbons on freshly painted schools with top Sadrist Movement officials.
This strategy has done wonders in delegitamitizing Allawi, Jaafari, and Maliki, so it should work with Sadr... |

Last night the MTV Movie Awards were aired on MTV. While none of the winners came exactly unexpected. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse won pretty much everything it was up for. With the only award it didn’t win [and this doesn't include beating itself in the same category, which it did twice] being Best Breakout Star. there was still room for an old timey Reese Witherspoon to show up and drop some science on the crowd in the form of her lifetime achievement award acceptance speech.
The real excitement came when a trailer for next year’s multiple award winner The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn were shown. All I know is this is a Twilight Saga movie, and it will surely be popular.
Here’s the full list of winners too:
Best Movie: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Best Comedic Performance: Emma Stone: Easy A
Best Female Performance: Kristen Stewart: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Best Scared as —- Performance: Ellen Page: Inception
Best Line from a Movie: “I want to get chocolate wasted”: Grown Ups
MTV Generation Award: Reese Witherspoon
Best Kiss: Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Best Fight: Robert Pattinson/Bryce Dallas Howard/Xavier Samuel: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Breakout Star: Chloe Grace Moretz: Kick-Ass
Biggest Bad— Star: Chloe Grace Moretz: Kick-Ass
Best Jaw Dropping Moment: Justin Bieber: Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
Best Villian: Tom Felton: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
Best Male Performance: Robert Pattinson: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
For those keeping track at home, that’s:
Twilight: 5
Every other movie to come out in the last year: 8.
You may argue “But Jake, it would appear that Twilight still lost in terms of raw numbers”. To which I say: “Did it really?” I’ll repeat, the only award they lost (other than to themselves) was Breakout Star, and they lost that to a crime fighting 12 year old. I can’t think of any way you could call that losing. |

We're back from Booneville.
If I told you everything we did up there, you would yawn. If I published anything I wrote up there, you would yawn.
It's a sheepranch, for godsake. Without sheep anymore. You sit around and the dogs run amuck and far.
I walked a lot. There's little paths that cover a lot of the steep 550 acres. The dogs chased a wild pig. We found a bloody hawk carcass piece this morning on our favorite path. I saw a coyote and a deer there the day before.
In general, the small dogs ran their asses off and got cuts and covered with stickers and would nearly pass out from exhaustion. Then we would sit in the hammock and I read a bunch of books about dogs. I think they made me write a bunch of freaky introspective crap that will never see the light of day.
Much of fetching of sticks from the pond. Otterpop and Gustavo can swim. Gustavo looks like a little water rat. Otterpop looks like a sausage buoy. Ruby doesn't even try, once she did a long time ago and she sunk.
Timmy had a hard time there. He can't see. I would carry him up to the pond and he liked it there. He paced around our cabin a lot and slept. He had good moments though and liked sitting around near the other dogs.
The other dogs impressed me with their ability to be dogs. They stayed in a pack and even if they chased a pig down, they always came back and in general stuck close. No one got sprayed by a skunk or eaten by anything larger than them.
At night we drank. My camera of course died on the 2nd day we were there.
It really was that boring and I loved every second of it.
We stopped in Healdsburg for some lunch. I took the dog parade out around the town square. I think you don't see that so much in downtown Healdsburg.
We're back and I have to go to work tomorow and I would rather sit on my ass at a sheepranch.

Thank god you are back! My outlook on life has improved significantly since I stopped reading the news with coffee, and instead read about Team Small Dog, so the last four days have started out miserably with bad things instead of good things, no strike that (missing roof, missing ranch, etc.). I mean *interesting* things-in-a-*fun*-rather-than-what-a shitty-world-sort-of-things. Like son shooting mother and brother on Younglove Street. See what I mean about the news? I was at the Jim Basic Distance Seminar (with a name like that, how could you not improve on the basics--all the other dogs already knew Left and Right...but it was fun! and the moral of the story/clinic is to buy land at the foot of Mt. Hamilton 30 years ago) all day, and then went to hear live music until way past my bedtime [10:00], so if YOU HAD JUST BEEN HOME SUNDAY, I wouldn't have even known that loved ones were shooting loved ones about 300 feet from my house (and about, oh, 1,000 feet from you house, I'd like to point out). So, I'm glad you had a good time, but let's keep it to once a year, OK?
Plus, your insights are overwhelming:
"The other dogs impressed me with their ability to be dogs."
See, this is why I never take vacations.
Jim inherited that spread when he married Nancy, she had it first. We always talk a lot about ranch maintenence when I'm up there. Timing is everything. As I'm sure you also learned in the distance seminar.
Wow, I missed the part about the son shooting the mom and the brother. I knew about the shooting because Gary went to the video store that night and all the streets were blocked off. The rumor that night was stabbing at Burger King, then it was in the paper the next day.
in case you were wondering. an email exchange from a genuine writer queried:
>>What did you write about while you were there?????? I am very intrigued<<
I answered:
>>i think my normally chipper writing style (which probably makes you cringe due to complete lack of grammar or structure!) turned into a boring senior thesis for a joint major of animal behavior and history of conciousness from anthropological dog observing for many hours of the day. from the hammock.

The 2018 regular season was a real up-and-down ride for the Dallas Cowboys. But that is something that has characterized the tenure of head coach Jason Garrett. After being named the full-time head coach in 2011, he had the infamous three 8-8 years that each ended with a shot at the playoffs but saw disappointment, then settled into a five-year pattern of years making the postseason sandwiched around seasons failing to do so, with nothing but one wild-card win to show for it. Through it all, owner/GM Jerry Jones has stood by his coach. Now Garrett has a chance to get that elusive second playoff win, and maybe more.
It is safe to say that Garrett will be back next season no matter how things go. That is a bit remarkable, given that the grave for his time as head man in Dallas was being eagerly dug by many just eight weeks ago. We all are familiar with the story of how the team started 3-5, then with the help of a big trade and a major coaching change, roared into the playoffs with a 7-1 record in the second half of the season. Now, instead of looking for a new job, Garrett is probably going to get an extension on his contract.
That still does not sit well with many, since things could still sputter to a frustrating end against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. Frankly, you get the feeling that some would have preferred for the season to never turn around just so Dallas could have gotten in on the Black Monday fun and started the search for a new head coach.
Now Jason Garrett is the sixth-longest serving head coach in the NFL after the Cincinnati Bengals finally parted ways with Marvin Lewis. A factoid that is often cited of late is that all five of the men ahead of him on that list, Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, and Pete Carroll, have something Garrett has not come close to: At least one Super Bowl win. They have achieved the ultimate superlative in the NFL, while Garrett, despite three playoff teams in eight full seasons, is still basically the definition of mediocrity. After all, 37.5% of teams make the playoffs every year, and Garrett has gotten his team to the playoffs in exactly 37.5% of the seasons under his leadership. That seems to be exactly what you would expect from a truly average coach if he gets enough time in the job. Add in the fact that head coaches who don’t win a Super Bowl by the stage of their career that Garrett has reached almost never do later, and there is still a lot of pressure on him to prove himself.
This is why some remain puzzled and even a bit angry that Jerry Jones has continued to employ Garrett. Jones is not about owning an average franchise. The Dallas Cowboys have been the flagship franchise of the NFL for decades now, even with the long stretch of futility following the dynasty of the early 1990s. They remain the biggest TV draw, are the most valuable sports franchise on the face of the planet, and Jones himself is one of the most influential (and at times resented) owners in the league. And while he is not exactly averse to making money, he is at least as committed to winning as any owner.
But Jones has a truly unique role, which plays a large role in why he has such faith in a coach who has, so far, not delivered playoff success. He is the only one who serves as his own general manager, which makes his relationship with Garrett as much a partnership as employer/employee. Jones sits in on far more meetings than other owner and makes many more decisions directly affecting day-to-day operations. He genuinely relies on Garrett, along with his son Stephen as executive vice president and personnel guru Will McClay, to reach collaborative decisions. And he understands them better than any of the other owners out there, no matter how strange or confusing some of his public pronouncements are.
That kind of daily involvement with his head coach can engender a lot of trust. It also seems clear that Garrett is a true master of knowing how to deal with Jones. He has shattered the meme of being a yes-man or puppet for Jones. The team has been molded by him, as evidenced by how players and other staff members, including Jerry, often seem to directly quote him in public. And the remarkable rebound this season was heavily influenced by his leadership, as Todd Archer reported at ESPN..
Of course, Garrett was busy getting ready for the Seahawks, not joining the eight head coaches that are now out of a job.
It is worth noting that a lot of general managers were retained when those coaches were let go. That seems a bit puzzling, since many of the failures that led to coaches getting their walking papers were as much due to some atrocious roster-building as anything. This is where the Jones/Garrett relationship has a different dynamic. Jones is where the buck stops on personnel issues, and he takes full responsibility for that. It is an underappreciated attribute. When the team fails, Jones looks to fix the roster, rather than scapegoating his head coach. It is a level of insight most owners lack.
Just making the postseason is not what Jones needs Garrett to do, of course. No matter how much respect the owner has for his coach, playoff wins need to start happening if this partnership is going to continue. This regular season has bought some time and wiggle room, especially with one of the youngest and perhaps most talent-laden rosters in the league. Jones can take deserved pride in what the Cowboys have done with the draft, free agency, and trades in recent years. He has given Garrett what he believes is an excellent set of tools. Now Garrett has to show he is capable of building a winner using them.
The coach will almost certainly get at least one more chance no matter how things turn out in the next month. But just like in week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it is time to stop messing around and get it done on the field. Beating the Seahawks in their own house would say something about Dallas, and the guy in charge on the sidelines. Going deeper would just raise the volume.
One-and-done would say something, too. This is a test of both the coach and the owner who has put so much faith in him. |
We put our bikes to the test!
Put through their paces
Until a bike is allowed to bear the ROSE logo, it has to go through a lot of stages. Everything starts with an idea. Then drawings follow, computer simulations are produced and the first prototypes are built. An entire fleet of team riders rides on ROSE bikes and their experiences also influence the development of a bike. Elaborate wind tunnel tests help to improve the bikes’ aerodynamics and performance.
However, that is not enough, as we leave nothing to chance. In the testing laboratory, we simulate peak loads – each bike has to go through the torture test for two-wheelers. The additional, strict tests go far beyond legal requirements and always end with a controlled total write-off. That is the only way that we can see how robust and safe our bikes are. We want nothing but the truth. This procedure is the ultimate test for our bikes – and a really positive aspect for your own safety. Stiffness and material fatigue tests as well as overload tests thus belong to our standard.
For many years, we have been working together with the engineering and consulting office of Dirk Zedler () as well as with EFBe Prüftechnik (www-efbe.de). No frame is safe from bicycle testers like them. With their support, we significantly improve the quality of our frames. Each ROSE bike is designed for a long life and reflects our idea of how a perfect bike should be like. A bike with best riding qualities, clever detail solutions and a great design you will enjoy for a long time.

Hi,
Thanks for checking out this page. FolkCast is an independent podcast - it gets no support, financial or otherwise, from any broadcaster or media. We do it because it needs to be done, and because we want to do it!
However, we need help to keep doing it - YOUR help. Here's how you can help FolkCast.
1: Give music. If you are a musician and make music that can be comfortably classified as being "folk, folk-rock, singer-songwriter or roots-based" then we want to hear from you, and to hear your music. Don't wait for us to find you, or for your agent/manager/label/best mate to send it to us. If we like what we hear we'll get it on to a future edition of the show, but for that we need you to agree to us including it in the podcast. And no, sorry, we can't pay you to plug your music to an audience of thousands around the world. See our guide to sending your music to us.
2: Give ideas. We have great contributions from people who are not musicians. For example, Babba looks at the Stories Behind The Songs, and Dave Alton writes and recites poems based on folklore tales from Britain and around the world. Could you do something like this? If you have an idea for a folk-related feature, get in touch! We need your input, preferably as recorded speech but not necessarily. Most people with a computer already have the ability to record themselves, and if you don't, or don't want to, then we might be able to help get your idea out to the world in another way. Get in touch via email to discuss your ideas.
3: Give money. Running FolkCast costs us time and money. We give the time gladly, but would like help from listeners to cover the costs of running a website and the admin for the show. If you are a regular listener to FolkCast, think about how valuable the show is to you and then click here.
4: Become a sponsor. Want to be a partner of FolkCast? Sponsoring the show will help us and help you! Again, drop us an email and we'll discuss what we can do, and what the rates are.
Cheers!

Stargate SG-1‘s Michael Shanks has snagged another high profile project — adding to his current winning streak.
Shanks (“Daniel Jackson”) has been cast in Lifetime’s aptly-titled The College Admissions Scandal, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The television movie will pull from the recent headlines of rich and famous families buying their children’s entry into top-tier colleges.
Celebrities including Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, along with nearly 50 other wealthy or famous individuals, were busted in the FBI’s “Operation Varsity Blues” — a spring 2019 raid that targeted the extensive illegal bribery scheme.
Shanks will play William “Rick” Singer, the man at the center of the criminal operation who facilitated backdoor entry to prestigious universities like U.S.C., Yale, and Georgetown … for a hefty fee.
Singer is a real-life figure who in March pleaded guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy, money laundering, tax conspiracy, and obstruction of justice. He took in a reported $25 million to help wealthy families get their kids into the schools of their choice.
Singer’s sentencing is scheduled for September.
Penelope Ann Miller (The Artist) and Mia Kirshner (Star Trek: Discovery) have also been cast as leads in the project. They will play a pair of wealthy mothers obsessed with getting their children into top schools. (Loughlin and Huffman reportedly will not be portrayed in the film.)
Lifetime has wasted no time in turning this real-life controversy into primetime entertainment. The network green-lit The College Admissions Scandal back in July, following a series of guilty pleas in the federal case. The project is currently on track for an October 12 premiere on the U.S. cable network.
Shanks has been busy as of late, booking a role in the second season of Netflix’s Altered Carbon. He is also set to appear in the streaming giant’s romantic drama Virgin River, along with SG-1 co-star Lexa Doig (“Carolyn Lam”). Principal photography for that project wrapped in March in Vancouver, British Columbia.
You can hear about all this and more in GateWorld’s recent video update on Shanks’ career.

Hov gave Cole his original Roc-A-Fella chain as a gift.
The biggest member of The Roc was in the building to celebrate J. Cole's 29th birthday in New York City Tuesday (Jan. 28) night. Jay Z hit the stage during Cole's What Dreams May Come tour stop at Madison Square Garden Theater, as did Kendrick Lamar.
After Cole performed cuts from Born Sinner and the rest of his catalog, Lamar emerged as the night's first special guest. The TDE rapper performed runs of "m.A.A.d. city" and "Backseat Freestyle" and capped off the mini-set with kind words for Young Simba calling him "one of the first to welcome me to this game with welcome arms."
Hov crashed the party towards the end, but not without making a grand gesture in honor of his first Roc Nation signee.
The label boss man touched down to perform "Public Service Announcement" and later placed his original Roc-A-Fella chain around Cole's neck. "First of all, happy birthday to J. Cole," said Hov. "It's his birthday but he's giving out gifts. So I think it's only right that you get a gift. That, on your neck, is my original Roc chain — and it's yours."
The crowd went wild, Cole proudly rocked the iconic neck jewelry and Hov jumped right back into the music.
Afterwards, Cole summed up the night with the one-word tweet, "Unreal."

BECKLEY, W. Va. - In a tie game in the eighth inning, the Florida Atlantic University baseball team committed four two-out errors, allowing Marshall to score five runs to take a 7-3 victory on Saturday in Beckley, W. Va.
The Owls (16-14, 4-10 C-USA) loaded the bases with two outs in the third with hits by Robert Buckley and CJ Chatham and a walk by Kevin Abraham, but could not bring runners across.
FAU got on the board in the third as Ricky Santiago hit his second double of the series to score Tyler Rocklein. Esteban Puerta followed that up with an RBI single to center, giving the Owls a 2-0 lead.
Marshall loaded the bases in the bottom of the frame, but the FAU defense kept the runners stranded to hold onto the lead.
The Herd (11-19, 7-6 C-USA) tied the game in the seventh on three hits, including a double by Robert Fajardo.
After three FAU strikeouts in the top of the eighth, Marshall rallied in the bottom of the inning for five runs on just three hits. With two outs and two on, Aaron Bossi hit a line drive to left. Rocklein charged at it, but misplayed the ball, allowing a pair of runs to score. An infield error let another run score and left a runner on second for Fajardo. The Marshall left fielder hti a line drive that got by Billy Endris that trickled to the wall, allowing the speedy Fajardo to score all the way from the plate, giving Marshall a 7-2 advantage.
The Owls would try to mount a comeback in the ninth when freshmen Chatham and Kerr singled and a Marshall error allowed CJ to score, leaving Kerr on third with no outs. A pair of groundouts and a strikeout ended the game, giving Marshall a 7-3 victory and the series win.
Buckley and Chatham each picked up a pair of hits for the Owls. Bo Logan was tagged with his first loss of the season as the junior pitched in relief of Jeremy Strawn. The duo each struck out three batters and allowed a combined three earned runs.
Game three of the series is slated for a noon first pitch on Sunday. Free audio is available at FAUSports.com. |
When we got home, she said "We should take a picture of this well money for the Internet (she checks our blog daily...haha!)." Oh my! I may have a future blogger on my hands :o) Haha!
I said, "Hillary Ashton, what did you think when Ms. Jennifer gave you that money for the well?" Her face says it all :o)
I then asked her how she thinks the people in Africa will feel when they find out about all of the people in America that are donating money to build a well for their village. She said, "I bet they are going to be so happy that they can't stop dancing. Like me, I feel so happy that I wanna dance." And you know what? She went with that feeling...for about five straight minutes :o)
Mommy may have joined her...however, there will be NO pictures of that :o) Haha!
Next, we checked the mail. Checking the mail is an event at our house. Usually everyone in the house checks the mail...together...as a group :o) Haha! The girls were thrilled to get their very own copies of National Geographic for Kids :o) {Thanks Ganny...they love it!!}
Sweet, sweet little face!
She wanted me to take a picture of her with this cute animal...this may be getting out of control :o) Haha!
Little sister was happy stomping the leaves on the back deck while the big kids read their new magazines.
Julianne woke up this morning with a swollen place on her cheek. There is a knot right under the skin. She is pointing at it...
Ouch!
When I ask her if it hurts she sticks out her lip. I LOVE her sweet little pouty lips!
Luckily, Hill's new coach is our old doctor and we had practice at his house tonight :o) Actually, we asked his wife about her bump because she is also a doctor. I hope the advice she gave us works for the bump because I do not enjoy sitting in a doctor's office with four kids. AT ALL!
Remember me telling you about Sophie Le's LOVE (LOVE!!!) of stuffing bags full of
At first, she wasn't sure if she wanted me looking through her purse because "JuJu might try to snatch my stuff." Haha!
I assured her that JuJu wouldn't try to snatch her stuff...or rather that I wouldn't let JuJu snatch her stuff :o) So she agreed to empty out her contents for me :o)
That purse was PACKED full of
We have a tea cup, a telescope, one of Jonah's old pacifiers (that he will no longer take...ugg!), two little people, a red and orange car, a train, two stuffed dogs, a Hello Kitty bracelet, a flashlight shaped like a mouse and a silk flower.
At this very moment, there are probably (at least) seven more bags/purses/backpacks packed full of stuff, just like this. Drives me crazy! But my baby loves them so I am learning to as well.
Tonight, Hillary Ashton had ball practice.
Pretty impressive, huh? Actually she caught more bugs/insects than balls tonight :o) Every few minutes, she brought another bug to me and insisted that I let her put them in the pouch on the side of the stroller. I insisted even more that she not do that. I won...at least I thought I did until we got home and I cleaned out the stroller pouch. Sneaky girl!
We may need a bigger stroller...haha!

Buddhism differs from most other religions in that a belief in God is deemed a hindrance. There is no saviour or supreme being who can free us from pain, or give us eternal life, nor who can answer all our questions about the meaning of life and death.
The law of kamma says that all volitional acts will inevitably bring good or bad results at some time in this life or in the future when conditions are appropriate. We must accept responsibility for ourselves and cannot escape unpleasantness by means of repentance.
In Buddhism there is no remission of sin, nor are there any commandments, but there is very sound advice on how to behave in a wholesome way that will not bring suffering to ourselves or others. The Buddhist path which leads to enlightenment, and therefore freedom from suffering, is open to everyone, but each one has to tread the path himself. If we do not achieve enlightenment in this life all is not lost, we shall experience a series of rebirths in which we may gradually progress towards the goal of cessation of all suffering.
Religions are products of the search for meaning and truth. An inner force impels us to strive towards some goal. The Buddha realised that suffering was the chief problem in life and by means of intense introspection he found the reason for it and the way to end it. Suffering, its cause, its cessation and the path which brings it to an end are the Four Noble Truths on which Buddhism is founded.
Being a man and not a God, Buddha was unable to provide a magic formula to cure all ills, but he did point the way towards the realisations of the same universal truths which he had discovered for himself. The Path towards enlightenment is the same as the one that the Buddha took and it arises in the human mind which has been purified by morality, and other virtues, as a series of insights realised by means of meditation.
The understanding of reality comes not from worship or ritual, or accepting the word of a supreme being, it comes from the dispassionate examination of our own mind and body in our moment by moment experience of them.
We can be fully aware of our mental states only at the moment that they are actually present. Looking back is not true awareness because it is influenced by memory, opinions and habits of thought. In insight meditation we are mindful of every changing sensation, feeling perception and thought, noting their arising and ceasing. As the practice deepens it becomes clear that our mind is not fully under our control, any more than the body is. We cannot decide not to remember a dream, or not to hear a sound these things suddenly arise and cease in the same way that mental states, such as anger or fear, arise whether we wish it or not.
Sitting in meditation we gradually become aware that things are changing all the time, that there is no internal controller which we may call ‘myself’ and that we cause ourselves suffering by wanting things to be different from the way they are. We become aware of the three characteristics of being as described by the Buddha – impermanence, unsatisfactoriness (suffering) and non-self.
Meditation is not a form of worship or a ritual, neither is it a way of making the mind blank, or having a kind of holiday from daily life, in fact it is quite hard work. The two main kinds are tranquillity meditation, called samatha, and insight meditation or vipassana. The former is a way of concentrating the mind on one object, for example a word such as ‘Buddho’ so that all thoughts are eliminated and the mind, which has become pure and concentrated, may be turned to the path of enlightenment.
Insight meditation also requires concentration, but not to the same degree. In this practice the mind is focused on an object such as the movement of the body caused by breathing, but the meditator also aims to be immediately aware of any thought which enters the mind. He does not pursue these thoughts but, having acknowledged them, turns the mind back to the meditation object.
The aim is not to withdraw the mind into a state of total calm but to be aware of its functioning in the present moment, and of the connection between mind and body. He aims to experience the Four Noble Truths for himself; the truth about cause and effect and the three characteristics of existence.
Understanding the non-existence of a soul or permanent entity, or self, is particularly liberating, since wrong view of self is a major obstacle. So long as we are attached to the idea of ‘myself’, and believe that we can, somehow, get things as we want them to be, and then prevent them from changing, we are bound to experience disappointment and distress.
The actual technique used to practice insight meditation will be explained later, but it is most desirable to have the help of a wise and experienced meditator with whom to discuss one’s experiences, so as to avoid going in the wrong direction.< Go back to all Dhamma |
We’re ranging a bit afield from our usual SEO-related topic today to ask an important question: has Microsoft positioned themselves right out of relevancy in today’s internet? We ask this because, having just spent 2 freaking hours trying to recover from an epic “automatic update” fail, it occurs to us that perhaps MS’s business model is in trouble.
MS built their Byzantine Empire on a bedrock philosophy of intimidation. They intimidate their suppliers, their competitors, their potential competitors, their employees, and their customers. They always have and it’s always worked. Being the biggest bully in the room is how Papa Gates and Co. sewed up the operating system market, the office software market, the email client market, the server software market, and the browser market. The resulting tsunami of cash did nothing to persuade them to try any other path.
But here’s the thing: having the power and weight of numerous lucrative near-monopolies has calcified them. They are slow to market, slow to respond to missteps, and most importantly, slow to react to changing market dynamics. In a world where open source alternatives abound, Microsoft’s captive markets have begun to evaporate. First, Firefox (joined later by Chrome) chipped away at ponderous MS Explorer’s 70% market share, now at 50% (and falling). Their office suite dominance suffers threats from Open Office and now, more dangerous perhaps, Google Docs.
MS no longer can claim to be the only dog in the fight. They’re still the biggest dog, but the others are growing and MS is withering away.
And now, introducing the Cloud. All of the applications you will ever need are—or will soon be—available at no cost to anyone with decent internet access, which is fast becoming a basic human right. Word processing? No problem. Spreadsheets? Gotcha covered. Slide shows, drawing, calendars, email, messaging? Already to go. The last thing—and the giant killer—will be the operating system. Up to now, MS has used their Windows systems to beat back every challenge. But this one’s gonna be a bit tougher.
Because the Cloud’s operating systems are agile, flexible, multi-platform, and open source.
Here are five reasons MS will find it hard to migrate its dominance to the cloud:
- Tablets and smart phones and netbooks are browser based and don’t need Windows;
- Open sourced applications are inherently more adaptable and quicker to react to changes, technological, cultural, or legislative;
- MS software is bloated, ungainly, and unnecessarily paternalistic—how many “critical updates” per day are too many?
- Freeware and open source development is typically decentralized to the extent that buying the intellectual property (a standard MS tactic) is useless;
- Google has already built a solid foundation for the future: a gigantic, friendly, all-seeing, all-knowing, and above all useful temple in the clouds that MS will find virtually impossible to keep up with.
Unless Bill thinks of something dramatically different and desperately soon, Cloud computing will break MS’s back, unless they find a way to compete with free, easy, simple, and convenient. And find it fast. Because this cloud is getting darker and pretty soon it’s gonna rain.

Panasonic won't be launching any new TVs in Australia this year.
According to a statement sent to media this afternoon, "Panasonic Australia has decided to withdraw from the Australian television market in 2020, in light of current local market conditions and to allow the company to focus on other established and emerging areas of the business."
The company say that they have already informed local retail partners of this decision and will continue to sell their current range of TVs in Australia while stocks last. They also say that they plan to continue to provide a full customer service experience to all owners of its television products.
Panasonic say the decision not affect any other products in our Home AV range or any other categories, such as their Lumix cameras or the recently-relaunched Technics." |

Adriana Otero joins Gateway Realty
By Lisa Jager Brush News-Tribune Staff Writer
Posted: 08/20/2013 09:00:00 PM MDT
Gateway's newest realtor Adriana Otero is pictured with her two children Leonardo and Analise. Otero is looking forward to balancing work with family life. (Lisa Jager/News-Tribune)
Otero received her real estate license on August 1, after completing a 168-hour online real estate training course through the Armbrust Real Estate Institute in Denver.
One of the reasons a career in real estate appealed to her is the flexible hours, which allows her to care for her two young children. A real estate career also provides opportunities to “meet and get to know a lot of different people.”
Before embarking on becoming a realtor, Otero spent time as both a stay-at-home mom and a waitress at El Potreo restaurant.
When she decided it was time for a change, she began calling area businesses in search of work. She spoke with Adam Walter at Gateway, who hired her as an assistant while she was obtaining her real estate training.
Otero was born in Mexico and moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, with her family when she was three years old, at which time she began to learn English.
The family moved to the Brush area when she was nine years old, in part to be closer to family friends and also to “switch from a big city to a smaller town.” Her parents eventually returned to Mexico, however a brother and sister remain in the area.
Otero thinks being bilingual is a good fit for her to work as a realtor in Brush since the area has a sizable Hispanic population, saying she is looking forward to helping the entire community.
She has been able to benefit from a recent government program that provides a work permit through affirmative action for childhood arrivals. She said it is a law that was passed for people born in Mexico “but grew up nearly their entire life here.”
The program is called Deferred Action for Child Arrivals. Its requirements include arrival in the United States before the age of 16, are between 15 and 31 years old, have lived in the U.S. at least five years and are in school, graduated, have a GED or are in the military.
Otero thinks she will eventually want to have dual citizenship in the U.S. and Mexico.
“I’ve basically lived here my whole life,” she said. “But I do want to maintain my Mexican heritage.”
Otero said Gateway Realty offers “a little bit of everything.” Its offerings include residential, commercial, investment properties, vacant land, farm and ranch, foreclosures and 1031 exchanges.
It serves northeast Colorado including Fort Morgan, Brush, Hillrose, Snyder, Wiggins, Sterling and Akron.
Of the real estate market in the Brush area, Otero said the inventory “is currently a little tight and what comes on the market goes fairly quickly.”
Otero’s family includes husband Ricard and son Leonardo, who is three years old, and daughter Analise, who is eight months

Fleetway was a British comic book publisher, home to such iconic British comics characters as Dan Dare and Judge Dredd.
In the mid-1990s, Fleetway secured the license to publish an ultimately short-lived Generation 2 comic in the UK.
In 1991, Fleetway was acquired by the Danish media conglomerate Egmont; in 2002, Egmont phased out the Fleetway name. |
The Graveyard Book is a children’s fantasy novel by the English author Neil Gaiman, simultaneously published in Britain and America during 2008. It is set primarily in a graveyard, where….
Although, Chris’s father Walt McCandless and Ronald Franz spent a lot of time with him, both offered him different level of support. Walt McCandless was stubborn and controlling parent. The relationship between him and Chris was complicated. Walt was a hard worker and self-made man. Chris was raised in the comfortable middle class family. So, he could get anything he wanted, but not happiness. Chris wasn’t happy with the fact that Walt was living double-life (121). Discovering that, Chris did not confront his anger to his father, but, he chose to make a secret of his dark knowledge and express his rage by divorcing them as his parents (Jon 64).
From of the book, the author emphasis on that relationship as the primary reason, for why the beginning Chris motivated to enter “into the wild”.
While his relationship with Ronald Jon was strong and Franz got very attached to Chris (p.52). When he met Chris, he started thinking about him as his son. Chris as his grandson (55). When Chris left as suddenly as he arrived, Franz found himself deeply and unexpected hurt (56).
This expresses the strong bond he has with Chris. When he heard from a hitchhiker that McCandless had died, he and his faith were shattered. Franz was so deeply hurt that he withdrew his church membership and resumes drinking (p. 60). |
We woke up on Day 4 to what has been a very familiar sight on the trip so far: rain. But luckily it wasn’t long after we left the Badlands until we hit some nicer weather.
View From CampsiteBecause of the rain and infamous Badlands mud we opted not to stay and cook breakfast, but to just pick up something on the drive. We had to get gas at a truck stop in the-middle-of-no-where, South Dakota and we all enjoyed Subway sandwiches at about nine in the morning for breakfast.
We had then been truckin’ along when our directions had us pull off the highway and go through Belle Fourche, South Dakota en route to the Bear Tooth Highway. Belle Fourche was a very nice town, but unfortunately for us it was the Fourth of July. And Belle Fourche has a parade through the towns’, essentially, only road. And luckily for us, we didn’t find out until we were right in the middle of that road, and they stop traffic, where ever it happens to be, for the duration of the parade. So not only did we get front row seats to the parade (the car was literally parked right in the middle of the road that the parade was coming down) which puts Upper Saddle River’s Memorial Day Parade to shame, but we also lost about two hours of travel time.
Group Picture on Beartooth PassWith our entrance into Big Sky Country, Montana we found ourselves fighting with the gas gauge and pulled off into Broadus Montana to fuel up. The gas pumps again were older than carbon but our previous experience using very similarly outdated equipment led us through to a successful fill-up. We pulled out of the station and stared heading back towards the highway when John, who was driving at the time, looked in the rear-view mirror and said, “Is that for us?” Everyone looked back and saw the flashing lights pulling us over. We got a speeding ticket for doing 50mph in a 40mph through town. We decided to plead guilty, pay the fine, and not attend out July 14 court date. We shrugged it off and moved on.
About two hours later, still in Montana and with John still behind the wheel, it was de ja vu. The flashing lights, us being pulled over, the ticket (85 in a 75), the whole deal. So that made two tickets in two hours (both in Montana), both for doing a lousy ten miles an hour over the speed limit. And for the second one cruise control was set at 80. I guess we were just paying the price for being New Jerseyians in Montana, literally.
Winding RoadFinally, we made it to our destination, the Bear Tooth Highway, which snakes through parts of Montana and Wyoming, is so high that we were driving through clouds and past snow drifts on the side of the road. Now although I can’t speak for everyone, the various views from this road were the most majestic and beautiful things I have ever seen. And although Tommy and John are both great photographers I don’t think that any picture could ever substitute for seeing it all in person.
Our plan was to continue as far on the road as we wanted until we saw a campground that we could stay the night in. It was getting dark when we spotted a prospective site and headed over to check it out. We thought about heading farther to find a site that was a bit more populated (we were the only people at this one), and maybe a little less secluded because we were right in the middle of Grizzly Bear country with no cell service and were tens of miles from any sort of civilization. But while we were checking out the prospective site we got a tip from some locals that all the larger campsites farther down the road were full. So instead of driving more to a probably full campsite and then having to set up camp in the dark, we decided to try our luck where we were.
Other than the fact that it probably got below freezing and our tent was still soaked from the night before in the Badlands, it wasn’t a bad night.

Thanks again for updating your website near "real time". These photos are awesome... and I know I've got to take this route to Yellowstone in the future. However, I thought we did have the speeding and getting pulled over by cops conversation in my garage... Glad you're not letting it get in the way of having a great time. Consider it a trip "lowlight" - (Along with finding your mudball of a tent in Badlands). Hopefully you've met your "lowlight" quota for this trip! Keep having a great time.
By the way, the View from the Campsite photo, is absolutely stunning!!! Kudos to the photographer!
Wow, what extraordinary trips you have done with your children! You have my admiration for all this. Very well organized web site. Excellent pics...
We are leaving next week for 1 years traveling with our 4 children (4,8,10,11). The first and last 3 months of that year are spent travelling with our Travel trailer. The 6 months in the middle will be spent abroad (South East Asia+Australia+NZ). We are leaving Montreal, QC for Squamish, near Whistler BC. As well as you like, we love single track mountain bike and rock climbing. Which route would you go?
Can I ask you how you did the map itineary in relation with the year? Very clever
Thanks
Martin
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the kind words about our travels and website. Regarding the "map itinerary in relation with the year" - which I guess is the scrolling maps on the cover page... It was originally done using Dreamweaver and a "Timelines" function which generated JavaScript that scrolled the maps. I've detailed more on the website development in the comments to
It sounds like you have an amazing trip planned! I'm not sure exactly which portion you would like help planning the route. Please contact us directly using the contact form and maybe Lolo will have some suggestions.
Safe travels,

Does start-stop-daemon do anything like clean the environment, etc? Has afsd always exited after mount? Does it matter if some afsd children only fork() without doing anything like daemon()izing? And actually, come to think of it, you could probably do something like this with the existing init scripts by using the after-afsd-has-started hook to wait for the parent afsd process to die... if you can identify which one is the parent. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] |

Biography
Sebastian Vettel ([zeˈbasti̯a(ː)n ˈfɛtl̩] (); born 3 July 1987), to Norbert and Heike Vettel. He has one younger brother, Fabian, a racing driver, and two older sisters: Melanie, a dental technician, and Stefanie, a physiotherapist for disabled children. Vettel suggested in an interview that he was "terrible" at school, but he passed his Abitur at Heppenheim's Starkenburg-GymnasiumMichael Schumacher, Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson. He mentioned that he wanted to be a singer like Jackson, but realised that he did not have the voice.. Vettel has described himself as competitive, private and impatient. He also appeared in advertisements for Head & Shoulders, and provided the voice of character Sebastian Schnell in the German version of the movie Cars 2.with a respectable grade. His childhood heroes were "The three Michaels":
Vettel married childhood friend Hanna Prater at a private ceremony in early 2019, and they have three children: Emilie, born in January 2014; Matilda, born in September 2015; and a son, born in November 2019. In 2016, Forbes estimated that his annual income was $41 million. Kimi Räikkönen, his teammate from 2015 to 2018, is a close friend. Besides his native German, Vettel speaks English, French, Finnish and Italian. Vettel is also known for his avoidance of social media, and is the only Formula One driver on the 2021 grid with no social media presence.
Early career
Vettel began karting at the age of three, and began racing in karts series in 1995 at the age of eight. He was accepted into the Red Bull Junior Team in 1998,. A year later, he won the 2004 Formula BMW ADAC championship with 18 victories from 20 races..
Vettel was promoted to test driver for BMW Sauber in 2006, and participated in the 2006 Formula 3 Euro Series, finishing as runner-up.. Nevertheless, he managed to compete in the 2006 Masters of Formula 3 at Zandvoort the following weekend, where he finished in sixth place.
Vettel competed in the 2007 Formula Renault 3.5 Series, and took his first win at the Nürburgring. He led the championship when he was called up permanently by the BMW Sauber Formula One team.. On his testing debut, Vettel set the fastest time in the second Friday free practice. Vettel became the then-youngest Formula One driver to participate in a Grand Prix weekend at 19 years and 53 days. He also set a record for collecting his first fine in nine seconds into his career, as Vettel exceeded the pitlane speed limit on the way to the track. In his second testing session at the 2006 Italian Grand Prix, he set the fastest time in both Friday practice sessions.
Vettel was confirmed as BMW's test driver for 2007. Following Kubica's crash at the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, Vettel was named his replacement at the 2007 United States Grand Prix. He started in seventh position and finished in eighth to become the then-youngest driver to score a point in Formula One.. It was also announced that he would drive for Toro Rosso in 2008 alongside Sébastien Bourdais.". Vettel was initially punished with a ten-place grid penalty for the following race, but this was lifted after a spectator video on YouTube showed the incident may have been caused by Hamilton's behaviour behind the safety car.
Vettel finished a career-best fourth a week later at the Chinese Grand Prix, having started 17th on the grid while in mixed conditions. He was tipped by Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz as one of the sport's big future stars: "Vettel is one of the young guys with extraordinary potential [...] He is fast, he is intelligent, and he is very interested in the technical side."."
At the wet Italian Grand Prix, Vettel became the youngest driver in history to win a Formula One Grand Prix, aged 21 years and 74 days. He led for the majority of the Grand Prix and crossed the finish line 12.5 seconds ahead of McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen. It would also be Toro Rosso's only win. Earlier in the weekend, he had already become the youngest pole-sitter. Toro Rosso team boss Gerhard Berger said: "As he proved today, he can win races, but he's going to win World Championships. He's a cool guy". His victory led the German media to dub him "Baby Schumi".
Vettel was named 2008 Rookie of the Year at the Autosport Awards.
Red Bull
2009–2010: Championship runner-up and youngest world champion. He went on to take pole position and the race win at Chinese Grand Prix; Red Bull Racing's maiden pole and win.
Further wins followed in Great Britain, Japan and Abu Dhabi. He won the Japanese Grand Prix from pole position, leading every lap. Vettel won the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the first ever day-night race, to finish second in the World Drivers' Championship standings behind Jenson Button. He also scored his third fastest lap of the year, drawing him level with teammate Mark Webber. However, as Vettel had more second fastest laps, he won the 2009 DHL Fastest Lap Award.
Vettel took the first pole position of the 2010 season at the Bahrain Grand Prix. He led most of the race but as a result of a spark plug failure, Vettel finished in fourth place. At the Australian Grand Prix, Vettel was appointed as a director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association. He took his first win of the season in Malaysia.
In Monaco, Vettel made it a Red Bull 1–2 with him second and Webber first. Both were equal on points in the standings, with Webber first based on total wins. At the Turkish Grand Prix, Vettel was running second behind Webber when he made a passing move on his teammate. The two collided, putting Vettel out of the race, with neither driver accepting responsibility for the collision.. At the inaugural Korean Grand Prix, Vettel led the first 45 laps before retiring with engine failure, handing victory to championship rival Fernando Alonso.
With the 1–2 finish at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Vettel and Webber secured Red Bull Racing's first World Constructors' Championship. Vettel went into the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi with a 15-point deficit to Alonso and a 7-point gap to Webber. He won the Grand Prix from pole to become the youngest World Drivers' Champion in the sport's history, as Alonso only finished in seventh place. Following John Surtees in the 1964 season and James Hunt in 1976, this was the third time in Formula One history that the title winner had not topped the championship table until after the last race.
2011–2012: Successful title defences, most poles in a season. The race was red-flagged with few laps remaining, which allowed teams to change their tyres; when the race was restarted under the safety car, Vettel was able to retain the lead and win.
At the European Grand Prix, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) enforced a ban on engine mappings. It was believed by some in the press that this was an attempt by the FIA to thwart Vettel's early domination. Nevertheless, he took pole with the fastest qualifying lap in Valencia Street Circuit's history. Vettel dominated with his first hat-trick of 2011, and won his sixth race out of eight. The FIA implemented another rule change at the British Grand Prix, targeting the blown diffusers. Red Bull believed the changes would cost them about half a second per lap. During the race, Vettel held off Webber for second place, who ignored a radio message from team principal Christian Horner to hold position. It was only the second time in the sport's history that a driver had finished second or higher in each of the first nine races of a season and won at least six of them.. A podium finish in Japan secured his second successive title with four races remaining, making him the youngest ever double and back-to-back champion. Vettel won the following race in Korea to become the second driver to take at least ten wins in a season after Michael Schumacher. He also helped to secure Red Bull's second successive World Constructors' Championship. Vettel took his eleventh victory of the season in the inaugural Indian Grand Prix, leading every lap from pole position, as well as setting the race's fastest lap to claim his first grand slam. Vettel broke the record for the most pole positions in a season at the season finale in Brazil, after he clinched his 15th pole of the year. He completed the year with 15 poles, 11 victories, and 17 podiums from 19 races; Vettel also earned a record total of 392 points.", and a "cucumber". Karthikeyan hit back, calling Vettel a "cry baby". Vettel crossed the line in first place at the Bahrain Grand Prix to go top of the championship standings. Three races without a podium place followed, before he retired at the European Grand Prix after an alternator failure, dropping him to fourth in the standings. In Germany, Vettel finished second behind Alonso but received a 20-second time penalty after the race, as he was off the track when he overtook Button; Vettel dropped back to fifth. He started in 10th place but finished second in Belgium to climb up to second place in the championship. Vettel then retired at the Italian Grand Prix due to a alternator failure, which saw the gap to leader Alonso grow to 39 points with seven races remaining. He won next race in Singapore, as he kept the lead until the 2-hour race limit was reached. At the Japanese Grand Prix he took his second career grand slam and coupled with Alonso's retirement, he cut the gap down to just four points. After winning at the Korean Grand Prix, the Indian Grand Prix brought another victory, as Vettel topped all three practice sessions before taking pole position and leading every lap of the race to win.
During qualifying at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Vettel was told to stop the car due to a fuel pump issue; he was forced to start from the pit lane. From last place, Vettel fought his way back to finish in third place. He started the last race in Brazil with a 13-point cushion against Alonso. On the opening lap, Vettel spun after an incident with Bruno Senna. Following changing weather conditions, Vettel climbed up to finish in sixth place to win the championship by three points and to become the youngest ever triple world champion. He also became the third driver to acquire three consecutive championships, after Juan Manuel Fangio and Schumacher.. He won the race, though not without controversy. Vettel ignored the team orders and passed Webber for the lead. Webber was furious after the race and said that Vettel "will have protection as usual and that’s the way it goes". Team principal Horner, although unhappy with Vettel's actions, pointed out that Webber had defied team orders on several previous occasions. He acknowledged that the already fragile relationship between the two drivers had further broken down as a result of the incident. Vettel claimed that he was not sorry for winning and that if the situation presented itself again, he would have passed Webber despite the order, adding that he felt Webber did not deserve to win the race.. He sealed his fourth world title at the Indian Grand Prix.
"It's very difficult for me personally, to receive boos, even though you haven't done anything wrong." 2014 season and beyond, drivers picked a unique car number to use for the remainder of their Formula One career; Vettel chose the number five. However, as reigning World Drivers' Champion, he carried number one throughout the season. Webber left the sport and was replaced by Daniel Ricciardo, who was promoted from Toro Rosso.
Vettel struggled with reliability issues throughout winter testing, and forced him to retire at the opening Australian Grand Prix., and the Pirelli tyres. He signed off the year by becoming the first defending champion to fail to win a race during a season since Jacques Villeneuve in 1998.
In October, Red Bull had announced that Vettel would be leaving the team at the end of the season to join Scuderia Ferrari, one year before his contract was due to expire. Vettel replaced Alonso and partnered his friend Kimi Räikkönen. Vettel mentioned he would like to drive for Ferrari at some point in his career and was already rumoured in 2012 to have a non-binding pre-contract, with options, to join them in 2014. He was denied an early release from his Red Bull contract to test the 2014 Ferrari car in Abu Dhabi. In spite of this, Vettel was present at the Ferrari test – although not driving the car – but Red Bull did not enforce any sanctions. Vettel instead made his first appearance in November, completing nearly 100 laps in the 2012 car around the test track of Fiorano.. He followed that up with winning the Malaysian Grand Prix,.
He won the Hungarian Grand Prix to remain a championship contender after he started from third on the grid. He dedicated his victory to the driver Jules Bianchi, who died the week prior from injuries sustained in 2014. At the halfway point of the season, Vettel was 42 points behind championship leader and Mercedes driver Hamilton..
Vettel came home second in the Italian Grand Prix, his first race with Ferrari at the team's home soil. He then took his first pole with the team at the Singapore Grand Prix, Ferrari's first pole for three years. Vettel went on to win the race, and with Hamilton retiring, he closed to within 49 points with seven races remaining. Vettel ended the season in third place, however, with three wins and 13 podiums; he declared the season as a 'miracle'.
After a third-place finish at the 2016 Australian Grand Prix, Vettel's participation in Bahrain ended without starting as his car broke down on formation lap.". At the Russian Grand Prix, Vettel retired on the first lap after two consecutive collisions with Kvyat.. Vettel then blocked Red Bull's Ricciardo by moving in the braking zone, and was given a ten-second penalty and two points on his licence. Although he achieved seven podium finishes during the season, Vettel did not win any races in 2016.
2017–2018: Championship challenges ending in disappointment
His third season at Ferrari started with victory in Australia, his first in 18 months. The early form continued the following races, winning in Bahrain and Monaco, and finishing second in China, Russia and Spain. In Russia, Vettel took his first pole position in 18 months and with Räikkönen alongside him, Ferrari had their first front row lock out since the 2008 French Grand Prix. Vettel's lead at the top of the standings increased to 25 points after the Monaco Grand Prix, Ferrari's first victory at the circuit since Schumacher won there in 2001.
In Azerbaijan, Vettel collided into the rear of race leader Hamilton under the safety car, accusing Hamilton of brake testing him. Moments later, Vettel pulled alongside and hit his Mercedes as they prepared for a restart, for which he received a ten-second stop-go penalty..
Vettel's championship lead was cut to only a single point in Great Britain, as he suffered a puncture on the penultimate lap and dropped to seventh place. Vettel started from pole in Hungary, and maintained the lead. He overcame steering issues and held on for victory, which gave him a 14-point lead over Hamilton. Mercedes dominated after the summer break and Vettel lost the championship lead at the Italian Grand Prix, which was followed by a first-lap retirement in Singapore after collision with Räikkönen and Verstappen. It was the first time in Formula One history that both Ferraris retired from the first lap of a Grand Prix. His title hopes were dealt another blow in Malaysia, as he started last following a turbo problem in qualifying. He finished in fourth place, but crashed with Williams' Lance Stroll on the cool-down lap; neither would be penalised. More reliability issues befell Ferrari in Japan as Vettel retired due to a spark plug failure. In Mexico, Vettel became the fourth driver in Formula One history to claim 50 pole positions. Verstappen took the lead from Vettel at the start, before Vettel collided with Hamilton, after which Hamilton won his fourth title. For the first time in his career, Vettel failed to win the World Drivers' Championship having led it at some stage during a season.
The 2018 season was dubbed the "Fight For Five" by the media, as for the first time in Formula One history, two quadruple world champions lined up at the start of a season. For the second consecutive year, Vettel began the season with victory in Australia, after he took the lead while pitting under the virtual safety car. It was his 100th podium, while he also became only the third man in Formula One history to have led 3,000 laps. In Bahrain, Vettel maintained the lead from pole through the first round of pit stops and held off Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas despite being on old soft tyres to take a record fourth victory at the circuit. At the Chinese Grand Prix, he was hit by Verstappen in the latter stages of the race, which caused both to spin. Vettel limped home in eighth place, with his championship lead reduced to nine points. For the first time since 2013, Vettel took three consecutive pole positions as he qualified in first place in Azerbaijan. It was the 23rd different Grand Prix at which he had taken pole position, equalling Hamilton's record.
At the Canadian Grand Prix, Vettel won for the third time in 2018 and for the 50th time in his career, becoming only the fourth man to reach a half-century of wins. The following race in France, Vettel lost the championship lead following a collision with Bottas. He bounced back in Great Britain, after he passed Bottas in the last laps to take victory.; he won in Belgium, however, in which he passed Hamilton for the race victory.. Vettel claimed his first ever podium in Mexico but the World Drivers' Championship went to Hamilton for a second consecutive year. Although Mercedes had been the more consistent and better team, fans and pundits criticised Vettel for making too many mistakes during the season.. The opening weekend proved to be difficult, however, as Vettel qualified some seven tenths off pole position in third and finished the race in fourth place. Third-place finishes in China and Azerbaijan followed, as Mercedes continued to dominate. Vettel took pole position in Canada; his first pole in 17 races. Midway though the race, a snap of oversteer caused him to run wide onto the grass. Vettel received a five-second time penalty from the stewards, who believed he had returned to the track "in an unsafe manner and forced [Hamilton] off track".. At the German Grand Prix, Vettel was unable to qualify after a turbo issue, which meant he would start in last place. During a race with mixed weather conditions, Vettel climbed up to second place. In Italy, Vettel spun at the Ascari chicane and when he re-entered the track, he made contact with Racing Point's Stroll. Vettel received a 10-second stop-go penalty and finished in 13th place. At the Singapore Grand Prix, Vettel won on a circuit Ferrari were expected to struggle at. For the first time, Vettel had won five times at the same track..
Vettel took pole position in Japan, but an abrupt start off the line caused him to momentarily stop before getting away, which allowed Bottas to take the lead; Vettel was not penalized for his jump start.. He finished fifth in the World Drivers' Championship, and was outscored by a teammate for only the second time across a season.
Ferrari later announced they would not extend Vettel's contract beyond the 2020 season. Team principal Mattia Binotto explained there was "no specific reason" for the decision, though both parties noted it was an amicable agreement. The season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic as the first ten races of the original calendar were either rescheduled, postponed or cancelled altogether. Ferrari discovered problems on their car following pre-season testing, forcing them to make a major redesign.
The SF1000 lacked pace as Vettel finished the season's opening race in Austria in 10th place. During the weekend, he was also given a warning for breaching the FIA's COVID-19 protocols after he was seen mixing with members of his former team Red Bull. The following race, at the Styrian Grand Prix, Vettel retired on the opening lap with rear wing damage following a collision with Leclerc. He ended the season in a disappointing 13th place in the Drivers' standings, with a third place in Turkey as his best result. Ferrari only finished sixth in the Constructors' standings, their worst result since 1980, while Vettel's total of 33 points was the lowest in a full campaign in his Formula One career.
Aston Martin
2021: Aston Martin F1 Team
Vettel joined Aston Martin for the 2021 season, replacing Sergio Pérez.. Aston Martin team principal Otmar Szafnauer reported no concerns, due to a very different car compared to the Ferrari, lack of laps in pre-season testing and a very impressive race start. In the fifth race of the season, Vettel scored his first points for the team with a fifth place finish in Monaco. At the following race, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, he claimed Aston Martin’s first podium with a second place finish. Vettel also finished second in Hungary, but was later disqualified, after his car failed to provide the one litre sample of fuel required.
Race of Champions
Vettel competed in the 2007 Race of Champions at Wembley Stadium, representing the German team alongside Michael Schumacher, winning the Nations' Cup title. He also teamed up with Schumacher from 2008 to 2012, winning the Cup on every occasion.
Vettel returned to the 2015 Race of Champions, representing Germany together with Nico Hülkenberg. He won his very first individual Race of Champions title that year, beating Tom Kristensen in the final. Vettel and Hülkenberg finished runner-up in the Nations Cup. In 2017, Vettel was eliminated in the first heat for the individual competition, but went on to win the Nations' Cup for Germany by himself with his seventh victory, after his teammate Pascal Wehrlein was injured earlier in a crash.
In the 2019 event, Vettel teamed up with Mick Schumacher, where they finished runners-up in the Nations' Cup to the Nordic team of Kristensen and Johan Kristoffersson. Vettel was eliminated in the group stages of the individual competition, although he won the ROC Skills Challenge.
Helmet design
From his early days in karting, Vettel worked with helmet designer Jens Munser. At the age of eight, Vettel wanted Sebastian the crab from The Little Mermaid on his helmet.. At the 2012 Italian Grand Prix, Vettel celebrated his 50th helmet design with a 'rusty' matte look and 50 tallies, indicating his 50 helmet designs in Formula One. Vettel started his 2013 campaign with a design in honour of Felix Baumgartner, for his world record Red Bull Stratos space jump in October 2012. By the end of the 2013 season, he had used 76 different helmet designs throughout his career.
Helmet manufacturer Arai have stated Vettel 'retires' a helmet design after each win, although he does not need to win to sport a new design.
After moving to the Ferrari team before the start of the 2015 season, Vettel insisted that he would try to stick to one design each year, which was also enforced by. Following the death of Niki Lauda, Vettel wore a special helmet based on Lauda's final Ferrari helmet at the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix.). In 2021, he named his Aston Martin AMR21 car after Honey Ryder, a character from the James Bond film, Dr. No.
Comparison to Michael Schumacher".
Nevertheless, the similarities were marked. Like Schumacher, Vettel grew up in a small town with an everyday background—Schumacher's father is."
After Schumacher was severely injured in a skiing accident in late 2013, Vettel was on hand to collect the Millennium-Bambi Award for Schumacher's life achievements on his behalf in 2014.. Vettel was also voted Formula One driver of the year in 2009, 2011 and 2013 by the team principals, initiated by the Autosport magazine. He additionally won the DHL Fastest Lap Award in 2009, 2012 and 2013. He became European Sportsperson of the Year by the International Sports Press Association in 2010, and by the Polish Press Agency in 2012 and 2013. Furthermore, Vettel was named the BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year in 2013. In 2014, he was named Sportsman of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards. In 2015, he received the Confartigianato Motori Award for Driver of the Year.

A Security Strategy is a document prepared periodically which outlines the major security concerns of a country or organisation and outlines plans to deal with them. Several national security strategies exist: National Security Strategy (United States)
What are human security issues?
There are essentially seven issues associated human security. These are economic security, food security, health security environmental security, personal security, community security, and political security. … Food security is simply access to basic nutrition and food supply.
What is difference between safety and security?
The other notable difference between security and safety is that security is the protection against deliberate threats while safety is the aspect of being secure against unintended threats. … This means that security is geared towards the protection against criminal activities that are perpetuated by criminals.
What are the goals of security?
All information security measures try to address at least one of three goals:Protect the confidentiality of data.Preserve the integrity of data.Promote the availability of data for authorized use.
What are the different types of security?
However, for the most part, there are three broad types of IT security: Network, End-Point, and Internet security (the cybersecurity subcategory)….The other various types of IT security can usually fall under the umbrella of these three types.Network security. … End-Point Security. … Internet Security.
What are the four kinds of security threats? is basic security?
Three basic information security concepts important to information are Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. If we relate these concepts with the people who use that information, then it will be authentication, authorization, and non-repudiation.
What are the basic principles of security?
The fundamental principles (tenets) of information security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Every element of an information security program (and every security control put in place by an entity) should be designed to achieve one or more of these principles.
What are the three types of security?
There are three primary areas that security controls fall under. These areas are management security, operational security and physical security controls. |
Industrial control systems (ICS) are a privileged target of different categories of threat actors.
Researchers observed a significant increase of brute force attacks on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
In December, IBM warned of the availability of a penetration testing framework named smod that was used in many attacks in the wild.
Organization in any industry can get cyber-attacks against their ICS system and need to adoptvnecessary countermeasures.
According to Kaspersky, every month, an average of 20.1% of industrial computers is targeted by malware.

The Seven Most Dangerous New Attack Techniques, and What’s Coming Next
Tomi Engdahl says:
Cybersecurity attacks on IIoT infrastructure expected to increase in 2017
A survey by security company Tripwire found that 96% of IT security professionals expected attacks on critical Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) infrastructure segments such as energy, utilities, government, healthcare, and finance.
Most organizations are expecting an increase in cyber attacks on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) infrastructure this year, according to a survey commissioned by informant technology (IT) security company Tripwire. The survey found that 96% of IT security professionals expected attacks on critical Industrial IoT infrastructure segments such as energy, utilities, government, healthcare and finance.
The study of 403 IT security professionals worldwide, revealed that an overwhelming majority of feel additional precautions are needed to adequately secure the IIoT, and more than half (51%) do not feel prepared for such attacks. Sixty-four percent said they already recognize the need to protect against IIoT attacks, as they continue to gain popularity among hackers.
Tomi Engdahl says:
The Threat to Critical Infrastructure – Growing Right Beneath Our Eyes
Nation-States do Not Fear Reprisal and are Likely to use ICS Attacks as a Component of Geo-Political Conflict.
Let’s Start with Consequence (Impact):
One could argue rather reasonably that the ‘cat and mouse’ or ‘whack-a-mole’ approach to IT security that we’ve relied upon for the past 10-20 years has been ‘effective enough.’.

New SCADA Flaws Allow Ransomware, Other Attacks
Mission-critical control systems that don’t pose an obvious risk can be hijacked and leveraged for attacks by profit-driven cybercriminals and other threat actors, researchers warned.
Proof-of-concept (PoC) ransomware designed to target industrial control systems (ICS) was described recently by security firm CRITIFENCE and researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
These attacks focused on programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which are often critical for operations and can represent a tempting and easy target for malicious actors. However, Alexandru Ariciu. ICS security consultant at Applied Risk, disclosed another potential target on Thursday at SecurityWeek’s 2017 Singapore ICS Cyber Security Conference.
Ariciu showed that ransomware attacks, which he has dubbed “Scythe,” can also target SCADA devices that are inconspicuous and which may be considered less risky.
Affected vendors have not been named, but the devices have been described by the expert as various types of I/O systems that stand between field devices and the OPC server (e.g. remote terminal units, or RTUs). The devices are powered by an embedded operating system and they run a web server.
Thousands of these systems are easily accessible from the Internet, allowing attackers to hijack them by replacing their firmware with a malicious version.

Fuzzing Tests Show ICS Protocols Least Mature
Fuzz.”
State of Fuzzing 2017
Fuzzing is a proven technology used to find vulnerabilities in software by sending malformed input to a
target and observing the result. If the target behaves unexpectedly or crashes, then further investigation
is required. That investigation may expose a vulnerability that may be exploited for malicious purposes.
Fuzzing is equally valuable to those who develop software and those who consume it. It plays a role in
the implementation, verification, and release phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and
can be a vital indicator of undetected vulnerabilities (zero days) that may affect the integrity of systems
already in use. The real goal of fuzzing is not merely to crash a program but to hijack it |
The Hyperloop might be the brainchild of billionaire inventor Elon Musk, but if it is to become a reality it will be one of two other companies that first brings the futuristic transportation system to the world, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The idea of the Hyperloop was first introduced by Musk in 2013 as a series of low-pressure tubes hundreds of miles long in which levitating capsules ferry passengers back and forth inside. If you remember what those old capsules looked like at your bank drive-thru, where you slotted your deposit slips into a pneumatic tube system to get to the teller inside, you’ll have a rough concept of how a Hyperloop works. Musk’s ultimate goal is to build a 400-mile-long Hyperloop between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which will transport commuters in just 35 minutes.
While most people were skeptical of the practical or economic feasibility of Musk’s Hyperloop, two companies got to work on trying to create it right away, says the Journal. Hyperloop Technologies and rival Hyperloop Transportation Technologies are both vying to build the world’s first Hyperloops by 2020 with one building a test track in Las Vegas and one hoping to have a mini five-mile Hyperloop up and running in California by 2020.
However, whichever of these companies is first to build the first full-scale commuter Hyperloop, it may not work exactly as Musk had intended. Musk envisioned the capsules in a Hyperloop flowing in the tube on a bed of pressurized air—much like a puck does on an air hockey table. Both companies, however, are leaning towards using magnets to levitate the capsules instead—much like how maglev trains work now.
Another piece of disheartening news for Hyperloop purists and junkies is that both companies says the world’s first true, large-scale commuter Hyperloop will probably not be built in California, or even the United States. Due to the government support that is required and generally less bureaucracy, Hyperloop Technologies says it believe the first Hyperloop will probably be built in either the United Kingdom or from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, while Hyperloop Transportation Technologies says it envisions the first Hyperloop will probably be built "in Asia or the Middle East, where transportation needs are more pressing and there is less bureaucracy," notes the Journal.
And even if Hyperloops are completed in these locations, it should be noted that they might not be built for a while. There is still much to work out with Hyperloop technology, no matter if it's of the pressurized air or magnet variety—and doing so can take years, even decades. The maglev train, the Journal adds, was first demonstrated in 1971, but due to cost and engineering complexity it wasn’t until 2004 that the first large scale maglev transportation system was built. |

We need to make a clarification at this point. The recent commotion around the person doesn’t mean that it’s only recently that people have begun thinking about concerning themselves with its role and about defining the difference between it and “individual”. The initial discussion on the definition of this difference goes back a very long way. It’s simply that the issue has re-surfaced today and is a very topical concern.
About fifteen centuries ago, Orthodox theological thinking became aware of this difference, and, taking as its starting-point the distinction between the divine Persons of the Trinity, it defined as the human person the distinct and particular hypostasis, as opposed to the anonymous, natural individual.
The individual, then, is no more than a unit of the species from which they spring and to which they belong from birth to death. This deterministic dependence demonstrates the subjection of the individual to impersonal, collective necessity, which is basically dictated by the laws of nature.
The person, on the other hand, is a unit of psychosomatic features which are above and beyond any naturalistic or biological necessity. The person is an absolute value, a real hypostasis, the image of God in people. It’s that distinctive something which, in an inconceivable diversity of forms, makes each person unique and specific. And so, in the whole of human history, it’s impossible to find an “exact copy” of any one person.
Two absolutely identical hypostases, two absolutely identical personalities, two absolutely human persons have never existed. Each person is also a separate world. They’re a small entity, a small totality analogous to that of the cosmos, a microcosm within the eternal motion of the universe and its history. This is why the person is never something static. It’s always to be understood in a social dimension, because it acts in order to encounter its peers and, especially, its prototype, Who is the Triune God.
This motion, which, in sociological terms can be called the expression and role of the person, reveals the existence of “social dynamism” within it. Here, the term is not used in the sense of unconscious sociability, which exists in the whole of the biological creation and is a naturalistic tendency- we would say a necessity of existence- in all animals and even in plants.
Social dynamism is an exclusively human psycho-spiritual function which is a fundamental feature of the personality. It’s a dynamic motion, which breaks the barrier of individualism and propels people into the realm of dialogue, into the social dimension. It’s a motion that makes people believe in values, to fight for them, to create a culture, to be different from animals. On a horizontal plane, in terms of meeting other people, this motion expresses conscious sociability. Here we’ll look at the vertical dimension of the dialogue with God, which expresses spirituality.
So the human person and God are two poles, whose encounter creates spirituality. There’s no duress in this meeting, since people are always free to doubt not only spirituality, but even God Himself. Freedom, then, is a characteristic of spirituality. Spirituality is communication with God, Who isn’t, as is often said, naively, the supreme being, but Spirit. And, as Spirit, God appeals to our spiritual experience and hypostasis, to us as persons.
Therefore, for spirituality to be expressed, it needs a spiritual motive, and that is faith, which doesn’t depend on human functions, natural or psychological, because otherwise everyone would believe and there’d be no disbelievers. Faith is a free, spiritual experience which is engendered within people when they’re convinced of the reason for their existence and for the existence of God. But human existence is indissolubly linked with that of God, to the point where, when we’re convinced of the one, we can be certain of the other. Human existence represents the most telling testimony to the existence of God, because, regardless of how greatly we’ve distorted our selves, we’re still images of God, and as such we bear within us all the features of the prototype.
It would be fair recall here the awe experienced by the biological and medical sciences at the perfection of the human body and its functions. This perfection has brought social scientists to acceptance of the human organism as the ideal model for the organization and administration of social groups. But this is only one side of the human mystery, the biological one, which reflects the whole of creation. But there’s another side, unknown to the rest of creation and exclusive to humankind. This is the unquestionable reality of the psycho-spiritual reactions which, however much the theory of evolution has attempted to subject them to biological drives, remains a mystery.
Our awareness of incompleteness when faced by the perfect, our interest in the infinite, our thirst for knowledge and creativity, our concern for the investigation of the future and the unknown, are all manifestations of the divine within us. It’s the human witness to the existence of God.
This testimony, which had stood the test of time and not been shaken by scientific discoveries and readjustments, nor by the recent crisis in values and moral certitude, has now returned to the forefront of current thinking because of the philosophical and socio-political challenges concerning the reason for our existence, and, as a result, that of God. The surge of nihilism, which has inundated the whole of humanity and swept away institutions and values, was unlikely to leave the notion of spirituality unaffected.
In the last century, we saw the overthrow of the scale of values and its inversion. The basest bacame the supreme and the highest were ignored or trampled underfoot. The values of the spirit were called the “opium of the people” and “utopias of the establishment” or “urban daydreams”. In this way, the philosophy of values became the philosophy of utilitarianism. All the expectations, all the dreams, all the legitimate concerns of human societies were lumped together within the sphere of economics and technology, within the politics that has been founded on the lie of prosperity tomorrow, as if people were no more than a stomach and senses.
This misguided view of the spiritual hypostasis of the person, which was forged between historical materialism and capitalism, engendered not only the type of a new human being, but monsters who function between shuttered individualism and mechanical collectivism. These monsters- or, to put it more politely, this new type of person- are orientated towards production, utilitarianism, necessity, expediency; in a word, towards biologism. They ceased to be persons some time ago; they’re individuals, and individuals not in the sense of a social unit, but in the biological understanding. It’s tragic, but it needs to be said: they’re somewhere between being a person and an animal. That may seem a harsh way of putting it, but it loses its harshness if we look at things in the light of historical reality. We don’t need to refer to the distant past; recent events are enough to confirm this.
Some years ago, we saw the dirty war in Biafra, with the genocide of the Ibo tribe. We saw the drama of Czechoslovakia, which was transformed into silent mourning in August 1968. And, among so many other dramatic events which have happened recently, we watched the slaughter of Cyprus, with our hearts in our mouths and bated breath, as we witnessed the murders, the desecrations, the pillage, the imprisonments and the flight to safety of 200,000 people. Humane feelings disappeared from the face of the earth and the spiritual standing of the powerful was called into question. The merchants dealing with whole nations decided at their dinners about the sale and purchase of entire peoples, with the dead from the hostilities represented by a sum total, as if the budget of an enterprise were being settled, with debit and credit.
These are the achievements of people today, who see the world in terms of quantity. People who have torn down spiritual values and have forgotten the reason for their existence. And the result: conflicts, wars, murders, social disturbances, revolutions, unemployment, misery, hunger, uncertainty over the future, immorality, hatred, divorces, suicides, anxiety, heart disease and death.
You might say that God’s forgotten us. But that’s wrong. We’ve forgotten him, or, rather, we’ve left his side. Because, as Saint Basil the Great so aptly put it: “the farther you move away from life, the closer you move towards death. Because God is life and being deprived of Him is death”. So what is required is a return to the source of life, a re-connection with the eternal Spirit, communication with the God of love, a reversion of the image to the original, a dialogue between created and Creator. It’s only within such a relationship that restoration of the order which was demolished is possible. it’s only in dialogue with God that people find a way out of the cycle of absurdity. And the absurdity will continue as long as people remain individuals and aren’t transformed into persons.
This is precisely where we find the significance of the current interest in the discussion surrounding the person. Except that the formulations of the philosophers, although they start off out of interest, never get further than being formulations, and can’t progress to being proposals or solutions. What’s required is a metaphysical, a spiritual field, which, strange as it may seem, is the only framework capable of providing the opportunity for a rational and supra-rational life for the irrational and absurd people of today. Such a unique framework was given to the world by Christ through His blood, sacrifice, death and resurrection. Within this context, individualism is expunged, self-interest disappears, the lowest of sinners is sanctified by the grace of God and the miracle of fraternity is realized among people. Within this context, tired people, in any era, can find the aim of their existence, the person they really are, peace, and God Himself.
This context is the Church. It’s the people of God. It’s the faithful who have departed, we who are here now and those who will come. It’s the ranks of saints and martyrs who believed in and worshipped the God of love. It’s the sheep-pen of the good shepherd, of God Who became a person in order to make us God. He Who bent down over our pain and planted the only hope in the world, when He said to us: “you will have sorrows in the world, but don’t be afraid, for I’ve defeated the world”.
Within the sphere of this certainty, the personal struggle of the believer to transform the world can acquire significance. This is a transformation that always begins with the person and has as its aim the expansion of spirituality and the spread of love.

Though a higher battery capacity usually means an increase in battery performance, this particular iPhone is also going to be bigger than previous models, so there’s a chance the meatier battery will simply be used to offset the increased power needs of the device’s bigger, higher-resolution display.
But as far as the iPhone 6’s actual capacity, both GforGames and 9to5Mac remain highly skeptical of this particular rumor. However, a 2,100 mAh battery would not be necessarily pushing any boundaries: The Samsung Galaxy S5 features a 2,800 mAh battery that powers its 5.1-inch display, while the HTC One M8, with its 5-inch display, boasts a 2,600 mAh battery.
If this sketchy rumor is true, the iPhone 6’s battery life might be similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S3 from two years ago, with its similar 4.8-inch display and 2,100 mAh battery. That phone could reportedly handle nearly 12 hours of talk time; in comparison, the iPhone 5S can accomplish about 10 hours of talk time and 40 hours of music playing.
Hopefully we’ll see some form of battery improvement in the iPhone 6 when Apple unveils the device on September 9.

3 Top Trigger Events & Golden Sales Strategies
This blog post is about three things:
- Trigger Events to be notified of and why.
Below is my answer to that question…
The three best Trigger Events to be notified of are:
- Changes in decision makers
- New funding
- Product launches
Changes in decision makers
If you’ve been in sales long enough you probably have a success story of how new business was won, or a horror story of how existing business was lost, when a decision maker changed.
When a new decision maker is put in place there are several factors that make this the best time – A change in one decision maker leads to multiple opportunities:
- The person who left – where did they go
- The person who left – who took their place
- The person who took their place – where did they come from
New Funding
Research shows that those with new funding are up to 8 times more likely to buy. When a decision maker experiences the first Trigger Event (a want Trigger Event) sometimes they don’t have the budget to buy what they want so they have to wait until they can afford to make the purchase.
I’m sure most readers of this blog have experienced something similar. You want to buy something but it’s not until you get a raise, promotion, or a new job that you have the funds to make the purchase.
For businesses these funding increases that help someone afford to buy can come in several forms:
- Direct investment by an institutional investor or selling shares on the stock market
- A new fiscal year which brings with it new funding
- A project that had budget assigned to it is late and the funds need to be spent before the end of the fiscal year
Product Launches
When a new product is launched funding is assigned to make sure that product launch is successful. That funding if often assigned to numerous solutions which means an investment in new processes, new infrastructure, and new training.
Just like executive changes, product launches can also have a domino effect. When one company launches a product it often leads to numerous competitors releasing something similar which results in even more investment in processes, infrastructure, and training.
Just like I do every month, I offered $1,500 of my time for the answer with the most votes but no one found the time to answer the question.
Golden Sales Strategies of Top Performers share the golden strategies of top performers.
This is a real-time selling event in which we will look at three recent Trigger Events and share how you can use them to sell a number of different solutions.
We have posted a poll to get input into the three products you want us to pretend we are selling and the three choices that get the most votes will be the ones we apply the ‘real-time’ Trigger Events to. So vote for your choice and tell your friends to vote so you can learn strategies that are specific to what you sell.

Selling to the C-Suite
Ivan Taylor recently introduced me to Steve Bistritz – the author of Selling to the C-Suite -and based upon our initial conversation I decided to do my first ever podcast.
This first one talks about the importance of getting involved early in the buyer’s buying process so you can shape a decision maker’s perspective of the problem and the solution.
There are certain times in the buying cycle where decision makers are more involved and other times when you can’t get their attention because the next steps of the buying decision have been moved down the organization.
Below is the first of two podcasts with Steve. |

Change Orders Proactively Dealing with Changes Increases the Success of an Organization
Construction projects are rife with change. In fact, the overwhelming amount of change that occurs within every construction project has led to the widespread belief that planning is overrated. Yes, change is inherent in construction. Yes, very often change occurs on the very first day of a project. However, how you deal with these changes will determine how successful your organization is. For every project you have, you must have a plan to handle changes as they crop up, and you must be prepared to change that plan hundreds of times over the course of the project. D. Brown Management’s Profit Happens Here! Change Orders Training Module focuses on managing these changes, so project leaders can do what they’re supposed to do – keep their projects on course.
There is a large amount of controversy on whether changes are good or bad. Within the construction industry, attitudes and beliefs are split into two. The truth of the matter is that change is neither good nor bad; it’s simply a fact of life within construction. It can’t be avoided. Developing a strong, standardized process for dealing with changes, however, is good, and in doing so will create a method of accountability that will help your organization be compensated properly for these changes. How does this happen? It’s not easy.
While there certainly are “windfall” changes that are lump-sum, in which the production far exceeded the expectations, it is far more common to have hundreds of small changes within a project. Each of these changes, viewed separately, does not have any significant profit impact, but they are critical to pay attention to. Cumulatively, they add to the weight of a project and slow it down. The result is often schedule delays and extra costs that are not compensated.
This training module centers on how you can track these changes as they happen, alter your planning to encompass them, and getting the compensation that is fair and deserved. It begins by indentifying change – the earlier the better. If you can identify change at the beginning of a project, you’ll save time, money, and labor. The module tackles internal versus external changes, change notification forms, request logs, pricing, organization, and takes you all the way through customer service. With hands on practice and examples, you’ll learn the steps you need to take today, to create a more successful tomorrow.

5 May Pitch+250 Finalist - The Good Demon
Title: The Good Demon
Genre: YA Urban Fantasy
Pitch:
Six years ago, Bartholomew was sentenced to the seventh circle of hell because of a failed coup. When Lucifer suspends his punishment to find the Shard of Gabriel, a powerful relic that gives one the knowledge of God, he sees his chance for escape.
Bartholomew’s confidence is tested when he’s forced to partner with an angel. There’s nothing like a heavenly chaperone to drain the fun out of being a demon.
The search for the Shard leads the unlikely duo to go undercover at high school. There, Bartholomew experiences a hell unlike any other: life as a high school senior.
First 250 words:
The nerve.
One minute you’re in hell, minding your own business, getting your ass pummeled by every demonic being that fancied a go, and the next you’re shown the door and back on the ethereal plain without even the common decency of being escorted out by security. At least they could have warned me about the transfer first.
I opened my eyes. I was in a dark alley, completely naked. I coughed, emitting a small black cloud from my lungs. Every inch of my body felt like it’d been put through a meat grinder then nibbled on by a thousand cockroaches. My stomach was sick and heavy, much like it would be the day after eating Tex-Mex. Even my bones vibrated like a tuning fork. What was I doing back on Earth? Obviously someone had sent me here—you don’t suddenly get excused from a sentence in hell, even for a short frolic in the mortal world to stretch your legs. And especially not with a sentence like mine. I’d tried to take down Lucifer and failed. It took everything I had to keep them from adding an endless Highway to Heaven marathon to my punishment.
No, someone had struck a deal to get me out. But who? And for what?
Not even the chalk message on the brick wall provided a clue:
Bartholomew. Take the bag and clothes. Go home. More details to come.
That’s it. No name, no date, nothing. I didn’t even know the year.

Demons and high school hell... awesome :) I absolutely love the voice in your opening, and wish I could keep reading. Good luck!
Everything about this premise is intriguing! Love his name, so good =)
Such a great premise. The voice is a standout. Would love to read more some day. |
Helloo Beautiful!
Today I thought I'd share with you my lipstick collection. If you knew me about a year ago you would of known I didn't really like lipstick, and the only reason I wore it was because we had to at Elly Lukas! Now since I was wearing it everyday I began to adore not only lipstick but lip tints and glosses as well! This newly found love not only broke my bank but also helped me find some confidence in myself, so thats the story of how I became a lipstick fanatic.
To start off I have 50 Lipsticks, 16 lip stains, 12 lip glosses, 9 lipliners and 15 lip balms; and I'm going to go through them by brands.
First off I have three Innoxa Lipsticks in Frangipani, Wild Cherry and Passionflower.
These lipsticks are lovely and creamy, and just melt onto your lips. They have great pigmentation and smell like fruit salad.
YSL Glossy Stain in 104, Rouge Volupte shine in 6, Glossy stain in 14 and Chanel Rouge Allure in 138
These are defiantly my favourite brands of high end lipsticks! Both Chanel and YSL have amazing formulated Lip products and I highly recommend them if you are willing to spend the money.
Milani Lipstick in 11 fruit punch, 33 Rose Amour, 12 Flamingo Pose and 16 Flirty Fuchsia.
Amazing quality lipsticks and such a cheap price!
Maxfactor Colour Elixir giant pen sticks in Pink (no sticker but its the only pink in the collection), 35 Passionate Red and 30 Designer Blossom.
I Absolutley loveeee these, but who am I kidding I love all of my lipsticks!!
Maybelline Color Sensational in 904 Vivvid Rose, Color Whisper in 50 Cherry on top and Color Sensational in 910 Shocking Coral.
Maybelline are amazing at creating Lip products that last on your lips! I love their lipstick colour ranges!
Essence Stay with me long lasting lip gloss in Pink (no name), Lipstick in Glow neon, Glow and Stay with me Lipgloss in Coral (no name)
Essence is such a great brand for those of you who are on budgets! They have some awesome products and I love these lip glosses, they have amazing pigmentation.
Essence lipliner in My Treasure Island, 10 Femme Fatale and 07 Cute Pink. Bourjois Lipliners in 11 Enjoleuse, 15 Rose Precieus, 20 Rouge Soyeux and 14 Rouge Seduction
I actually prefer Essence lipliners over any other brand because they are so creamy, and with the price you can't go wrong!
Revlon Lipstick in 096 Petal, Lip Butter in 065 Creamsicle, Lipstick in 805 Kissable Pink, Lip Balm Stains in 015 Cherish and 020 Loversick and Lipgloss in 225 Berry Allure.
Revlon has an amazing range of lip products, and with the new glossy and matte lip balm stains out they are becoming one of my favourite lipstick brands.
Gorgeous Cosmetics Lipsticks in Naughty, Buff and Cath's Crush.
These are my least favourite lip products out of my collection, being that they are very sheer. I like to wear them with gloss over the top on a sheer lip day.
L'oreal Lipsticks in 288 Intense Fuchsia, 285 Pink Fever, a backup of 288, 370 Crazy Fuchsia and 287 Sparkling Amethyst.
I only tried L'oreals lipsticks about 3 months ago, and boy am I happy I did! These are great quality lippys.
Models Prefer Lipgloss' in 02 Angel Wings and 01 Stilleto. Models Prefer Lipstick in Papparazzi Pink, Afterparty, Stay Out Late and Picture Perfect. Models Prefer Moisture Lust Glossy Lip Tint in Marshmellow.
Models Prefer is a great Australian brand, with amazing lip products. What I love about the Lippys is that they have a fruity scent!
Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick in 103, 113, 103 (love this) and 106. Rimmel Kate Lipstick in 20, 16, 09 and 22.
As you can see I have a lot of Rimmel lip Products, and that is because when you are a student on a budget, Rimmel was my go to makeup brand.
Rimmel Apocalips in Nova, Celestial, Apocaliptic and Big Bang. Rimmal Lip Gloss in301 Addictive and Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stain in Stay Very Berry.
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks in 206 Nud Pink and 210 Coral in Gold. Rimmel Colour Show Off Lipsticks in 210 Pink Fame x2 (love this) and 010 Pink Excess
I'm so sad Rimmel decided to discontinue the Colour Show Off line, because they are the best ones in my opinion!
Lime Crime Lipstick in Geradium, Wet n Wild Lipstick in Pinkerbell, Mac Lipstick in Vegas Volt and Barry M lipstick in 52.
These four lipsticks disappointed me because they didn't live up too the hype, but I still like to use them because I can't throw out lipstick!
Mirenesse Lip Bomb in number 4, Pandora unforgettable moment lip gloss in 57, NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Dolly Girl, MUA Intense Kisses Lip gloss in Quick Kiss and LUSH Liquid Lipstick in passionate.
Liquid Lipsticks are some of my faves at the moment, The pandora Lip gloss being my ultimate lip colour and my everyday go to shade, I just wish I knew where we could buy these (it was a gift with purchase)
Chi Chi lipgloss mini in pink, Lip Smackers Clear gloss, Australis Show stopper Gloss Stick in Fireworks, BOE Jumbo Wind Ups in Red and Pink, and Covergirl Jumbo Gloss Balm in 230.
I use these products the least, but I still love them!
I stupidly deleted a photo of Bourjis and Benefit of lipsticks :( so I also own
Bourjois Lipstick in 57 Fuchsia Class, Bourjois Rose Exclusif PH lipgloss and Benefit Lipstick in Juicy Details.

Well, let's see. Our conservative friends judge Obama's presidency a complete failure because in less than a year, he hasn't managed to end the Afghan War, restore lasting peace in the Middle East, repair the US Economy, and fully reform health and education - in brief, to repair eight years of damage wrought by Bush.
They gave Obama about a week of presidency before proclaiming him the worst in history. Same standard should apply, don't you think?
If I recall correctly, they were already proclaiming that failure before he'd even been inaugurated. No sense wasting time.
I was wondering that just last week. Great* minds think alike, apparently.
I think it's just a matter that "the previous government" has gone from being a criticism to being a verbal tic, a kind of induced Tourette's syndrome in which Conservative boilerplate is inserted into Con-versation whether appropriate or not. There are more than a hundred sufferers now -- it's sad.

* YMMV
Come on CC, you know the answer to this one.
It will always be the Liberals' fault, unless it has a beneficial result. Then the Conservatives will stump, boast, and photo-op it to death.
wv: sewer. 'Nuff said.
To expand on what Gube said: When it comes to "Conservatives," it's always, always, always the other guy's fault. I've made that observation elsewhere many times. It's an element of the psychology that defines "Conservatism."
Balbulican:
A lot of folks on the left judge Obama's presidency a failure for exactly the same reasons. It sort of annoys me that some folks who I otherwise agree with seem to think he can just throw a switch and everything will be fine in a week or so.
Should at least be acknowledged that Obama's economic appointments as president-elect did not bode well for future progressive acts, especially given that those he empowered (the Rubinites) were directly involved in the deregulation and crash of the system, and basically ended up with a 380$ billion give-away. Matt Taibbi has a great article on the timeline of this in the rolling stones and recently appeared on Bill Moyers too.
I just never gave him a chance even with all the progressive talk. System is just broken.
with majorities in both houses and presiding over the executive, the republicans are still calling the shots. oh, and rahm... failure in the making. |

Six months after it became the latest internet sensation and five and a half months after everyone forgot about it, ChatRoulette is offline. A "renewed and updated" version is promised for later today, but it seems like the perv favorite's time has come and gone.
The rise and fall of ChatRoulette was lightning quick even by fickle internet standards, and unlike cheezeburger-having LOLcats, this flash in the pan meme is unlikely to enjoy nine lives.
ChatRoulette blew up in early February of 2010, and quickly filled the pop culture void left by Tiger Woods' waning tabloid scandal. The social network, basically a randomized Facebook complete with web cams, enjoyed a brief, though big, moment:
and now:
So what went wrong?
ChatRoulette delivered standard-order internet immediacy. But its randomness, initially a source of user intrigue, turned out to be its biggest flaw. This led to visitors glimpsing old men masturbating through full-body leopard costumes. But it also denied them the opportunity to catalog and archive that experience, to Photoshop whichever images of them went out to strangers (like on Facebook), accrue an impressive number of friends or followers, or nab a celebrity retweet that their friends (digital and real) could retweet and retweet in perpetuity.
There was also the fear of abrupt, unexplained rejection, leaving users staring at a black video screen just above an unflattering shot of their own slack-jawed faces. The ability to click "Next" and the threat of being nexted applied not just to briefly curious visitors, but to ChatRou... |

August is my fave month for sure
This August sure starts good, isn’t it, anyone? I lack time to post words since the start of the month, and I’m sure as hell this August will be a pretty busy month. Like on August 1st that was my birthday, I invited some friends to come and have a good lunch at a cafe, we had a good time and thanks to some friends that were gonna go to the Phoenix concert later that night that they chose to come have lunch together instead of going to the Phoenix meet & greet at Aksara hahaa :D. It’s sad that very soon we’ll be going on our own paths, going to different unis to chase our future, but hey that’s life and let’s just celebrate the good times we still have!
And the day after that I went to Bandung to deal with the leftover ITB affairs, and walk around Bandung with Ahtar Echy Juju and some other friends for days. In Bandung I live in this ermm… (what’s the English for “kos”?) at Teuku Angkasa st. behind the Santo Borromeus Hospital, so it’s within walking distance from ITB (very, very good). My housemates Juno and Rafi were quite fun to play around with, and the room’s pretty big so I guess everything will be fine. The walk-around-town-all-day was really fun, but I don’t know if the college has started will I get the chance to stroll around the town like that, I hope so. Based on the given schedule I will attend all the classes with Echy, good to hear I’ve at least one friend in the classes for the start of the year. Oh and I’ve got my alma mater jacket now! The color is this greenish blue something whatchacallitidunno, it’s pretty cool btw. I went back at August 5th so currently I’m in Jakarta but at Sunday I’ll really start living in Bandung for years to come, wish me luck, oh but I don’t believe in luck but whatever. I’ll post stuff when I got the time because starting August 10th the ITB events have begun until 17th, and right on the day after that the semester will finally begin. Life really must go on, and it’s good that now I can forget stuffs from the past. How’s your life people?
p.s. I hope everything goes well for my good friend Ansy, she’s gone off to Jogjakarta today to continue her study in UGM. All the best fer yew matey!
p.p.s. check out this Oscar Wilde song, it’s a single by my current favorite band, the Chicago indie pop female-fronted Company of Thieves. I’ll write a review of their extraordinary album Ordinary Riches when I’ve got the time. |
'I felt I had something to offer again'
13 June 2007
I am 54 and have been HIV positive for 20 years. I left full-time work for health reasons eight years ago. For a while afterwards, I felt a sense of relief.
Working full-time, feeling ill and having to comply with a complex drug regime is exhausting. However, finding myself with vast stretches of time to fill and a sudden loss of structure to daily life, I soon realised that lack of purpose could be as damaging as too much stress.
Even though I have many caring and understanding friends, I felt left out of things with nothing much to say. Social and cultural events and holidays became meaningless in a homogenised world which lacks the accomplishment associated with personal effort. Luckily my health, although very bad at times, has never been bad enough for me not to care about these issues.
My feelings at the time were of low self-esteem, lack of confidence, aimlessness, guilt and a sense of loss. I thought it far too soon to be retiring and losing all career prospects. And although I was receiving my own pension from my previous employers, I was also receiving some benefits, which made me feel unpleasantly dependent. I worried obsessively about money.
This cocktail of negativity all led to a general feeling of panic mixed with exaggerated morbid fears caused by having too much time on my hands. I found that by doing less, it became increasingly difficult to do anything. And I was getting little exercise, so I felt bad both mentally and physically.
I decided to take some action and was offered excellent support by my own doctor and by the mental health unit at Chelsea and Westminster hospital. Voluntary work and part-time education were suggested as possible ways to improve my mental health.
On a visit to Baltimore, a friend of mine showed me the vast range of work carried out by voluntary organisations over there. I saw people from all backgrounds, many suffering from health problems, cleaning up litter from city streets, helping the homeless and giving support to hospital services. Their enthusiasm and sense of purpose was infectious. I realised there were probably the same opportunities at home, and that volunteering could be my salvation.
Walking past the hospital one day I noticed the offices of the St Stephen's Volunteers and the Information Exchange. I walked in and applied for a role as an information volunteer. St Stephen's offers support for HIV-positive patients at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital. The Information Exchange, which is based in the outpatients' clinic at the hospital, provides information for patients and hospital staff about HIV and related issues.
At first I volunteered twice a week and the work was very light and uninvolved. That was enough for me at the time and it felt like a great achievement. I immediately benefited from the structure given to my week. I started feeling more integrated into society and slowly regained confidence and self-esteem.
Life seemed more balanced and enjoyable. Volunteering stimulated other interests. After endless complaints from friends that my garden looked like an overgrown wasteland, I finally started to do something about it. Unintentionally I was getting more exercise and developing an interest in horticulture.
I enrolled for a part-time horticulture course at my local college and, after two years, successfully completed it. Regular volunteering and a new interest that provided regular exercise were making a huge difference to my mental and physical health. I felt like I had something to offer the world again.
In time my involvement with the Information Exchange grew. I will always be grateful to the volunteer manager for the chance he gave me. Suddenly, momentum began to build and I started to enjoy the responsibility and challenge.
At that time, new HIV medications and an easier drug regime with fewer side effects were improving my general health. Mentally, I began to feel much more confident and no longer inferior to others. I tried to develop and promote the information service, which by now was well established. Through this work I realised how important it is to feel accepted and to be part of a team.
I no longer feel aimless. I have a sense of purpose and achievement and feel I am contributing to society. I am aware of my skills and recently found that they compare favourably to those required for a range of paid jobs. For me this is important to know. However, I also realise now, for the first time, that the value of work cannot be measured only by money.
Volunteering for the St Stephen's Volunteers has opened up so many possibilities for me and changed my life for the better. I feel lucky to be not only a patient at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital but also to have had a chance to contribute towards it.
Volunteering here has been an enlightening experience. Not only has it improved both my mental and physical wellbeing but I have learned a lot about myself and life in general.

El Charro Mexican Grill – Latham, NY
Most of the Mexican restaurants in the area are middle of the road, and El Charro falls right in the median of that classification, despite the fact that there is usually a 45 minute to an hour wait at busy times.
For a stretch, I was on a margarita kick. Being that it’s pretty close to home, I stopped in for a margarita and some nachos. The margarita was perfectly respectable. I always go on the rocks, original flavor, salt if they ask. They didn’t. It was fine though.
I figured the nachos supreme would be a good way to get a taste of a few of their protein preparations for a fairly low price. With the margarita, tax, and tip, I escaped around $20. I think the margaritas are even cheaper if you go for their 5-7 pm happy hour during the week.
They provide a decent portion for around $10. And for those of you who don’t think there are enough tortillas, they’ll gladly refill your chips bowl for no charge. The beef was much better than the chicken, which was dry and relatively flavorless. I wish the beans were more prominent, and I also could have done without the lettuce.
Hot sauce is a must at these middle of the road places, and they have a decent selection of familiar sauces at the table. I like the green one.
On other visits, I’ve had tacos and burritos, but none pull El Charro out of Capital Region Mexican Restaurant Mediocrity, but at least the margaritas are inexpensive and decent.

Unions may take Rio Tinto to the industrial arbiter if the mining giant does not reinstate five workers sacked for distributing pornographic emails.
Four company employees and a contractor were dismissed last week for accessing and forwarding what the company described as "seriously offensive material" at its Hamersley Iron operations in the Pilbara.
At the time, Rio Tinto cited a strict email policy, which prohibits workers from reading and distributing offensive material over the internet. It said today it would not reinstate the workers.
But a public meeting in the mining town of Paraburdoo last night called on the company to take back the employees, saying the email policy was vague and, in any case, the workers should not have been sacked instantly.
ACTU Pilbara organiser Will Tracey said about 200 people had received the email and between 40 and 60 workers had forwarded it - but only five employees were sacked.
A substantial number of other workers was simply given written warnings, Mr Tracey said.
"We believe the treatment is harsh, and not consistent," he said.
"We have three supervisors here who have worked for Hamersley for quite some period of time who have unblemished records. This is their first offence.
"On this worksite, (if) you get caught stoned or pissed then you get three strikes and you're out.
"Yet you forward an email that's seen to be a joke and - whether it's appropriate or not - (that should be) a first strike instead of these people getting sacked (immediately)."
Three of the dismissed workers have appealed their sacking.
Mr Tracey said "one option" for unions was to take Rio Tinto to the Industrial Relations Commission (IRC) if the workers were not reinstated.
A Rio Tinto spokesman said the sacked workers would have the opportunity to have their cases reviewed from Monday, and, if dissatisfied with the outcome, had the option of going to the IRC.
However, he said the workers would not be reinstated.
"The company has taken action against some pretty serious offences in line with a breach of policy, and that position stands," the spokesman said.
He rejected union suggestions that the company's email policy was vague, saying it was strengthened 18 months ago after a review which followed a similar incident. AAP |
