I’ve wondered how critics—musical, literary, etc.—can tell if someone or some people have put emotion into their work. After all, paintings, songs, stories, and movies are inanimate. They are products, created and revised and polished to a shine. The only emotions they hold are derived via inference.
Hypothetically, if an artist is skilled enough, he or she could so carefully create a work of art that it feigns earnestness. Aren’t all artists storytellers in a sense? Aren’t liars as well?
There are plenty of amateur bands whose members feel strongly but don’t perform well in a technical sense. There are authors who write from someplace in their hearts yet cannot move anyone else because they don’t know how to convey what they feel. Following this logic, good art is created not from emotion but from skill and only skill—which means in turn that skill can imply/imitate empathy.
Thus, art can and does fake emotion.
Songwriting is an appropriate example. If you can write a half-decent melody over, say, a I-V-IV-iv progression (which is C-G-F-F minor in the key of C major), you can provoke an emotional reaction in listeners. Seen through the lens of music theory, music often seems like a formula: Certain notes arranged in a certain pattern will cause a certain biochemical reaction in the brain. I’m willing to bet that the most commercial songwriters view music like mathematicians view functions—plug in value x, get result y.
Even writing and painting could only adhere to formulas. Our brains are likely wired to enjoy specific organizations of words or of colors and textures.
Granted, artistic formulas aren’t perfect. Context is an external force no artist can control. Still, though, we could simplify art into two qualities—skill and context—one controlled by the artist, the other by the environment. In this model, the audience is still powerless.
As both a purveyor and (amateurish) creator of art, I’ve always been frustrated by the divide between what I feel and what I say. If the solution has always been an equation... maybe I just need to take more math classes.
Before we reach the nitty-gritty of this blog post, I request that you suspend your disbelief at least until you finish reading everything I have to write.
New Year’s resolutions are bogus.
Yes, I know that they’re traditional and motivational and comforting—but they’re effectively bogus.
Let’s examine the situation. We assign so much value to the beginning of each “new year”, the time at which the Earth completes one more revolution around the sun (it’s not mathematically exact, but it’s close enough for human standards). But this calendar is arbitrary. Some people in Europe—likely noblemen and high-ranking religious officials—met and decided that the year would begin at this here point of the seasonal cycle. Heck, the Chinese New Year starts on a different date. January 1 is a random name and number assigned to a roughly twenty-four-hour period in time within Earth’s orbital period of approximately 8766 hours.
What about holidays? They’re generally created to celebrate something specific. Christmas and Easter are religious holidays. Thanksgiving was started to give thanks for the harvest. The list goes on.
Out of all these annual celebrations, none is more arbitrary than New Year’s.
But I don’t mean to wax invective about the holiday itself—it’s nice to celebrate having survived one more year. No, I’m taking closer aim.
Picture this scene (one of many hypothetical scenarios): On New Year’s Eve, family members sit together in front of the television, which is displaying either a pop music act or a few random people oversimplifying what happened in the preceding year. One of those family members (most likely one of the parents) brings up the subject of New Year’s resolutions to kill time. Everyone in the room is then forced to condense his or her goals for the coming year into concise bullet-point items. After January—very likely after New Year’s Day itself—no one mentions these goals again.
First, it’s unhealthy to measure the “success” of a year by whether or not you met a few goals that you only spent a few minutes thinking about, anyway. Certainly it’s nice to follow through on your spur-of-the-moment plans, but it’s also nice to get an extra Christmas present despite being satisfied with the ones you already unwrapped.
If you treat your goals as utterly trivial, assigning no importance to them, well, what’s the point of setting them? It’s like adding more achievements to a video game. In the end, they do nothing for you. Maybe there’s a positive psychological effect hidden in the setting and achieving of New Year’s goals, but it certainly isn’t life-changing.
Let’s suppose that you set serious goals, then, and resolve to achieve them no matter what. Then you wake up on New Year’s Day (hangover optional) and never think about them again except when you look at the paper taped above your desk with the neat little list of things you now know you will never accomplish within 365.25 days. Congratulations!—you’ve just diminished your self-esteem for another year. Just leave the list above your desk because you already know what your resolutions will be for next year.
What if you don’t know what you want to do with your year? No one should expect to be struck by an epiphany on December 31 when the other 364 days of the year were inspirationally as barren as the Sahara. Don’t fret. Circumstances change. If you have no good ideas, don’t force out bad ones. If you do and make poor resolutions, throw them out when you realize they aren’t helping you.
Stop making resolutions on New Year’s Eve.
New Year’s resolutions only function as artificial motivation for people who normally don’t have as much as they would like to. If you are able to successfully set resolutions on New Year’s Eve, congratulations: You’re a motivated individual. Now set resolutions on any days other than December 31 and January 1. Try setting goals for the summer, or the winter, or any other arbitrary period of time. Don’t tie your biggest motivation to the turn of each new year. You’re better than that.
And for the rest of you—myself included—don’t wait for the next year to set goals for yourself. Please. You’ll do yourself a favor by working on self-motivation all year long instead of the last fading days of December.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to write down my own New Year’s resolutions.
1. Stop making New Year’s resolutions.
2. Write a novel, darn it!
I intended to write blog posts during my first semester in college, but the plan never came to fruition. In fact, all of my writing came to a standstill during that semester, not from lack of free time but lack of inspiration. It seems contradictory: In a new place with new people and new things to do, shouldn’t I be overwhelmed with ideas?
The problem, I suppose, is that I didn’t want to treat living on college campus as only material for writing. I participated—joined clubs, made friends, and rapped on karaoke night—without ensuring that my experiences would make good blog posts. There aren’t any big takeaways from my first semester to share.
I probably need to wait until I’ve graduated to organize my time in college into something like an analysis. In the meantime, I’ll think of college life as an experiment; in other words, I’ll write the paper later.
Set an agreement—write it if you need to—with your roommate(s) in the beginning of the semester to avoid future arguments.
Attend class, for crying out loud.
If you have a problem, try to address it immediately instead of waiting on it.
Joining extracurricular clubs is a great way to meet new people who share at least one of your interests.
You will probably run across alcohol. You do not need to drink it.
“What will happen to this blog in the future?” you may be asking of your computer screen. Well, dear imaginary concerned reader, I intend to branch out so that I will have more material to publish. Expect some short creative writing to be intermixed with my usual “oh-hey-look-at-this-thing-I-thought-of” posts. This blog won’t become a monthly affair for a while at least, but I will strive for that sort of regularity.
I'm not sure which is more influential in the transition from high school to college: enrolling in a university or searching for one. I would opine that the college search process is part of the filter in place to winnow the worthy high school graduates from the unworthy, but that issue is for another blog entry.
Below, I have separated the process of searching for a college into roughly discrete stages. Consider it a layman's psychological analysis. (More research is required to determine if each stage is accompanied by differences in brain chemistry, but I'll leave such in-depth work to people who actually know what they are talking about.) If you searched for a college this year, most of these stages should apply to you. If you knew from the beginning that you would be attending community college, read this only if you want to laugh at what the rest of us go through. If you could afford to go anywhere, well, you're a lucky fellow, and can we please switch bank accounts?
The stage most subject to interpretation. This stage likely begins after you enter high school. Some people spend this stage daydreaming in their idle time about how fun and exciting college life will be; others visit campuses as early as junior year (sophomore year for the crazy-prepared types) and begin fashioning concrete plans about applications and test-taking; still others experience anxiety and think of ways to avoid higher education, such as becoming a plumber, or a hobo.
You have thought about college, but in this second stage, you work for it. Most likely, you are a junior or senior. Studying for the SAT and/or ACT is your top priority. This is the stage that will decide once and for all where you will be able to apply for college without looking like a fool. Stress is common. After all, your scores are the only determiners of your educational future. Nothing else matters. Nothing else at all.
You have your test scores (and are likely either jubilating or sobbing over them). Now you have to decide where you will send applications. Perhaps you tour colleges; maybe you peruse your notes from your prior visits; or perchance you look up colleges on Google Images and ascertain which ones have the prettiest campuses. Most people struggle with deadlines, application essays, and extra requirements. Do not give up. At the other side of this stressful time is another but more rewarding stressful time. You just have to pay a lot of money in application fees to get there.
Something went wrong. Maybe the Common Application was giving you trouble; maybe the colleges to which you applied provide you with price estimates too high for your budget; maybe a college representative is claiming that letters of recommendation were not received. Whatever the case, you have to find a way out of your predicament. Whether this means more college visits, more applications (college or scholarship), or more phone calls, you soldier through it.
Maybe your final decision was fraught with angst. Maybe you were practically forced to make a decision at gunpoint. Maybe you were literally forced to make a decision at gunpoint (not a surprising possibility). Regardless, this is the end of your journey. You have decided on a college. Now the only things standing between you and attending an institution of higher learning are an enrollment deposit, payment for wherever you will be living, and miles of red tape that may or may not impede your progress.
There are a lot of things I want to do in my lifetime, but only some of those things do I hold near my heart. Below, I have listed some of my more significant life goals in no particular order.
get a job contributing to software development, artificial intelligence, or related research.
live to see humanity colonize bodies in space other than the Earth.
write blog entries with some regularity.
own a shirt with a math-related joke on it.
write a second singer-songwriter album.
become at least a decent singer / instrumentalist, preferably before releasing the aforementioned albums.
get short stories published in magazines.
play a great solo on an electric guitar.
put a lot of distortion on an electric guitar and pretend I'm a guitarist from the nineties.
be called "a great guitarist".
get at least one hundred followers on Twitter.
have a conversation without saying "um" or "uh" at all.
have a conversation without awkward pauses.
easily use obscure, esoteric vocabulary words without trouble in casual conversation.
use obscure, esoteric vocabulary words in a rap battle.
win the aforementioned rap battle.
be able to rap without sounding weird.
watch the entirety of a ten-hour video on YouTube.
collect enough knowledge to effectively be a walking reference book.
not be booed off the stage after doing stand-up comedy.
act in a good film, amateur or otherwise.
help design a video game or computer game.
have a month's worth of music in my iTunes library.
fill up my Kindle with e-books.
successfully change American English grammar so that punctuation is only placed within quotation marks when the punctuation is part of the quotation.
successfully link four or more independent clauses with semicolons and make the resulting sentence look awesome.
be called "one of the defining writers of our time".
be called "the greatest influence on the English language since Shakespeare".
make people laugh at command.
hear either of my parents say with complete honesty, "You aren't a smart-aleck at all!"
not do stupid things occasionally, only do smart things.
basically be one of the coolest guys ever.
Basically, if I don't meet all of my reasonably high aspirations, I will be disappointed with my life. It's a good thing I picked easily achievable goals.
I intended to post this blog entry a few weeks ago, but college research got in the way. Since one of the items on my list, Propaganda's Crimson Cord, was released today (and is awesome, incidentally), I figured I'd post the rest of my most anticipated albums before any more of them are released.
I'm a little late to the Copeland bandwagon, but I've already come to love all four of their major LPs (that is, not counting Dressed up & in Line). When Copeland announced on April 1 that they were reuniting for a fifth album, I didn't want to believe the news for fear that it would be revealed as an April Fools' Day prank.
It wasn't. The first release from Ixora, the somber piano affair "Ordinary", doesn't showcase the full band but does offer a tantalizing glimpse at what I'm sure will be another solid Copeland release.
Released songs "Midnight" and "Magic" show Coldplay experimenting with relaxing, electronica-tinged ambience as opposed to more structured melody -- which I daresay is at least a partial continuation of the shifting of musical gears that started with Mylo Xyloto. My prediction: Ghost Stories will be a quiet, pensive album, especially relative to its bombastic older siblings Mylo Xyloto and Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. Will it be better? Maybe. I doubt I'll be disappointed, though; Coldplay is quite a dependable band.
Considering how easily The Black Keys could fit onto a classic rock radio station, it's a bit surprising (at least to me) how popular they are on modern radio stations. Maybe the music scene will always need rock 'n' roll. But I don't mean to digress -- "Fever" is a by-the-numbers Black Keys jam, but its familiarity doesn't change two facts: 1. it's a catchy song, and 2. The Black Keys are releasing another album.
I know nothing about Anberlin's seventh album except that it will be their last. It's a little disappointing to see them go -- I only became a fan this year after realizing that Cities is far better than I first thought it was -- but I am sure they will go out with a bang.
While Anberlin hasn't released any songs from their seventh LP (I don't even know if songwriting / recording has finished), I can conjecture that their newly found affinity for electronic accompaniment (which was displayed to full effect in Vital) will carry over to their final release.
Too much time has passed since Counting Crows last released an album of original music (Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings in 2007), so one could say that they have an obligation to release something new. Am I excited to hear that they have a new album in the works? Yes. They've been around since the nineties, but their musical output never really dipped in quality, so my expectations are high.
When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes was amazing. Summer Air was a little more amazing. Sure, drummer Longineu Parsons' departure isn't good news, but Yellowcard's recruitment of Anberlin's drummer Nate Young is. Even if Yellowcard's musical style shifts, as long as it remains upbeat, violin-tinged pop-punk / pop rock, I'll be happy with it.

Well that certainly was a doozy of an emotional roller coaster! I don’t think I’ve cried like that during a book since Wonder! And it started from the very first page. Rachel exudes a hopelessness that I have never experienced in my life. Her brother died very suddenly in the place that they both felt confident and comfortable, the ocean. So now that she both hates and loves her home by the sea, she decides to move back to her hometown to live with her aunt to hopefully get through her grief. Even aside from Cal’s death, the boy that she confessed her love for through a letter, completely ignored her and stayed with someone else. I was sad while reading all this! It actually put me in a weepy mood!
Henry, unfortunately started out as an annoying teenager who thinks he actually knows what love is and that his whole world has ended because his high school girlfriend dumped him yet again. That is the only reason I gave this book 4 stars. His insistence that Amy is absolutely his soulmate while she claims that she loves him, but also loves someone else, got really irritating really fast!
What I loved about this book was the appreciation of secondhand books and bookstores! Being able to find the lives and memories of others in the pages of used books is such a beautiful thought and Crowley captures it perfectly! Watching Rachel work through her grief in the midst of the memories from so many people brought tears to my eyes. George, Henry’s sister, is the one who tore my heart out of my chest and stomped on it! I can’t give much more detail without giving away the ending of the story, but I had tears coursing down my cheeks because of the regret and love that George has to live with. I wish I could put into words all the things that I felt while reading this book! Overall, this was a quick read, but an emotional one. There is some language and some adult themes, but definitely ok for older teens. I would recommend this to book to anyone who has lost someone, or wants a beautiful story of love, or just wants an interesting read.

Martin Joseph Meagher, born on 18 December 1890 at Waimate, was the third of the four sons of Martin Joseph and Emily (née Hughes) Meagher. His schoolmaster father died in 1895, and his mother remarried in 1899, to Henry Harris Edwards. Martin was educated at St Patrick's School, Waimate, where he received a prize for Standard IV arithmetic in February 1903. He was at first rejected as medically unfit for the Military Forces. It seems that Martin came back from the war in not a good state and in 1924 he was a patient in a mental Hospital. It was certified that his condition was caused by or aggravated by Military Service. Consequently he was classed as a "Service Patient" and his maintenance became a charge on the Defence Department. Martin's body was not recovered after he drowned at sea. After the coroner determined that he had drowned, his death was registered in February 1953..

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month the armistice took effect.
But the story of the Rugby Men who went to fight was not yet over. More men were to die. Of wounds, or the Influenza that killed many; both military and civilian.
Our project will continue until all the men on the Rugby Memorial Gates have been remembered. The last Rugby man to die was on 30th June 1919, fighting in Russia.
Over the last four years there have been some men we missed – discovered after their centenary had passed. We will be adding them to this blog during December.
There are a few who we think survived the war, but were listed by mistake.
Then there are the handful who we have not been able to identify. We have done our best but some will have to remain unidentified. There is a list elsewhere.
The reports from the Rugby Advertiser will continue for the time being, recording the town as life returned to normal.
This blog will remain as a memorial to the Rugby men who fought and died.
Workmen position the wreaths on Rugby Memorial Gates, following the Centenary Remembrance Parade, Sunday 11th November 2018.

Controversial talking head Prue MacSween has claimed a Greens MP is a "danger" to the community and even his own wife.
The comments come just days after the conservative commentator was found to have contributed to ridiculing Indigenous Australians and spreading false information on Seven's Sunrise program.
On Monday's episode of Today Extra, MacSween was asked what she thought about Melbourne politician Adam Bandt calling his wife "hot" on social media.
"This little flea is so obsessed with climate change," she said. "I can't stand this cretin."
After repeated attempts to try to steer the conversation back to the issue at hand, MacSween eventually admitted she didn't care what Bandt called his wife.
"He is a non-person to me," she said. "He is a danger to the community and I suspect a danger to his wife. If you had to go to bed with that, God help you, love. You are scraping the bottom of the barrel."
Seven has banned MacSween from appearing on Sunrise after she infamously called for a second stolen generation. Last week, the Australian Communications and Media Authority ruled the comment contributed to the network breaching the television industry's code of practise.
However, she still appears on the Nine Network having popped up on Today Extra a number of times since March, with her first panel occurring just days after the Sunrise controversy.
Nine has been contacted for comment.

Well we’re told since birth that the ideal IS real.
I am not sure that we are. I am not sure that this question of the reality of the image is ever questioned, anymore than it is questioned if thought is true. We are told that we must MAKE the image become real, without any consideration of whether this is possible or not - or rather in what circumstances it may be possible, and in what circumstances it may not.
I don't know, Clive, bUT aren't the Catholics brainwashed from birth with the ideal of the saint....to be close to God...and the opposite which must be resisted is sin and the sinner. Most Catholics are convinced of the reality of sin and salvation. They’re told as children that Jesus was pure and without sin, and that they should strive to be like him....worship him. Sorry if I’m wrong about this, but it’s my understanding....I myself wasn’t raised a Catholic. Also, we give the Purple heart medal to soldiers here for bravery and valor in time of war. We think the ideal of bravery is something to live up to, no? I think most of us are convinced that the ideals of valor, of goodness, holiness, of non-violence, of courage and the like are real. Don't the Buddhists and Hindus have their own similar ideals...of enlightenment...of peacefulness and tranquility....of silent meditation? Didn't the ancient Greeks have their ideals? Our whole consiousness and our actions are based upon ideals and shoulds and should nots as is our self-image, whether positive or negative. Going to check out the link later since I think understanding the issue of ideals in consciousness (and in the unconscious) is crucial.

Yes and no, as I see it. Experiencing is not a product of thought, I do see that. But can there BE experiencing and/or sensory perception (including thought itself) without “the material structure of the brain and in the movement in that structure”? Can there BE experiencing without the brain?
Love, awareness, insight, beauty, understanding, intelligence, are not actions or movements of thought, but they ARE experienced by brain/body, aren’t they? So there is a relationship between them and the material structure, isn’t there? They are felt/experienced by the material structure. I feel love. I feel beauty. Not the “I” of time/thought/knowledge - the material structure feels it.
The science of it is complex and beyond my comprehension.
Ultimately, the brain registers/records all experiencing, doesn’t it? There’s a range or spectrum in experiencing, including in experiencing thought and emotion. Subjective perception varies not only from person to person, but also within the same person at different times. What is a pleasant sound, sight, smell, taste, touch to you may be unpleasant to me. Pain too is perceived or experienced differently by different people, and by the same person at different times. SOME of these differences in perception are due to memory - past experience - aren’t they? Some may be due to genetics. And some of it is due to the state or condition of body/brain at a particular moment in time. For example, perception or experiencing is affected by being too hot, too cold, sick, in love, anxious, afraid, angry, and so on. No?
When you talk and I listen, is it only the circuitry saying it and is it only circuitry listening to it? What is engendering the saying and the listening? Is there effort and desire involved? What is the relationship of effort and desire to action? Is the action of speaking, questioning, explaining, looking into, is all that determined wholly by the circuitry which has been shaped by the past?
Much, if not all, of our questioning is engendered by discontent, isn’t it? As long as this "flame" of discontent is not disregarded or smothered by thought, we may stumble or go down dead ends, but discontent guides the mind to understanding. Maybe.
the same kind of question as the question, "what is the redness of red"... the actual experiencing of redness?
Does this and other questions emerge only out of desire or motive? Does thought “make” the distinction? That is, does the question itself emerge solely from the past or the known? Or is the very asking of these questions an indication of awareness, understanding, insight --- of the awakening of intelligence --- which is then verbalized? I’m just asking, not saying it is or isn't.
I don’t know if any of what I’m saying means anything. I don’t know if we are understanding each other.

Yes indeed. I have been seeing most of the phenomena of the mind through this single lens of the ideal of late. It seems to be the starting point of so many of the issues that we discuss here on the forum. the division between the thinker and the thought, conflict, becoming, making effort, desire ..... the very origin of the self itself. Is it an exaggeration to say these things are really all one movement?

I have been seeing most of the phenomena of the mind through this single lens of the ideal of late. It seems to be the starting point of so many of the issues that we discuss here on the forum.
So much of our behavior in daily life is based upon the conditioning of shoulds and should nots, isn’t it? A good deal of it is unconscious...we accepted these ideals and ideas without questioning when we were children and they become part of our make up....our consciousness, even if they now remain mostly unconscious. I agree with what you wrote above, Clive. They are a major component of the self along with desire and fear. Actually fear is based upon the ideal too....fear of punishment for not conforming to the should or should not. I need to look more deeply into this before saying anything further.
These things: insight, love, beauty, intelligence, awareness, are they really one thing and thought has made the division?
I want to tell you something....or is it I want to share something? What is my motive? I think I have seen something. I think it would clear up something you are asking about.
Isn't that what we are doing here?
K asks: "can we think together?" can we explore together?
I think we understand each other remarkably well.
Can we talk together without a you and an I?
I didn't mean that insight, love, beauty, intelligence, awareness are one and the same thing. I don’t see them as one thing, and I don't see them as separate things. They’re interconnected, inseparable, but distinguishable, as I see it.
What I mean is that they are “not thought”, they are not something that THOUGHT does. As long as the mind doesn’t understand that self is nothing but thought, it can’t distinguish between thought and “not thought”. As long as the mind doesn’t understand the nature of self, the mind thinks that SELF has insight; that SELF is intelligent, or stupid; that it is SELF who loves or doesn’t love; that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i.e. of self. So, to me, it’s important to distinguish between what is thought and what is “not thought”.
There’s a state of total discontent with what is - with all the goals, social, political, religious, educational, legal structures, social measures, platitudes, ambitions, desires, histories, superstitions, traditions, customs and norms, etc., which have been inculcated, with all the values which drive action and relationship. Discontent is not an idea or a philosophy. It is not the result of effort. There’s the perception that all those structures and actions are false and meaningless. And so questioning arises, which has its own energy. It is not the energy of thought, greed, desire, fear, ambition. To question, to understand whether existence has meaning, to question the whole of life, conflict, suffering, right action, beauty, love, cruelty, and so on - isn’t that what we are doing here? Isn’t it discontent which brings us here?
It is true that one cannot “share” insight in that one cannot “give” perception to another brain. We cannot share insight but we have a common interest - we share an interest, a passion or hunger for understanding. If we have insights, or think we do, why NOT talk them over together, listen to each other, with care and hesitation? Perhaps with affection. Where there is the energy or intensity of listening and questioning together, perhaps understanding can flower. I’m interested in what K has to say. But there is doubt and questioning there too. I'm also interested in what you and others have to say.
Where there is such intensity in talking and listening, is there psychological time? Where there’s attention and intensity in questioning, listening and talking, it is not “me” doing it, is it? Where there’s inattention, then it IS “me”. Where there’s “me”, I am isolated and we can NOT question together. Am I talking nonsense?
As long as you and I don’t mistake our small insights for complete understanding, as long as you and I don’t accumulate and hold onto our insights as knowledge, as long as we don’t “forget” the discontent, as long as we are alert, hesitant, uncertain, aware, attentive - it seems to me that we CAN talk together “without a you and an I”. I think we DO .... in spite of periods of inattention where “you” and “I” sneak in. Inattention comes and inattention goes.

While stuck in traffic Alfonso Servin took a picture with his cell phone and later discovered he also captured something unexplainable.
The Waller resident works at a grocery store in Magnolia and on Friday, Feb. 20, he left work taking his usual route home. He shared how every day there is a lot of traffic on FM 1488 and this particular day was no different.
After 30 minutes of just sitting in his car, Servin began taking pictures with his phone. He noticed later in a photo a small white object in the sky and decided to enlarge it.
“I found out it was a UFO; it absolutely was one,” he said. . . .

I remember a tweet of you guys saying that IPv6 support was scheduled for first half of 2018. What is about that? I did not see anything in the changelog.
I have used this version now for a couple of times and it works for me. No connexion problems with the Android phone. I can get no connexion to the network if I use a fixed ip adres.. I think I do something wrong.
Is it also possible to change the mac adres of the PE to check if a fixed ip ades at the router is given to a specific mac adres?
If i test a couple of things to test my report is messed up. When is test TDR, PoE, Link, DHCP and CDP/LLDP the text of the names is written trough the results og the test.
New version works perfectly for me its great, good job. The only thing I see is the report comes out a bit messed up at the mo and not as clear and defined as the old version but I assume this is something you are aware of.
- DHCP did not work 1st try - changed setting to 60sec, worked. Changed back to 10sec, worked. Can't re-produce problem on this particular network. DHCP server is a firewall (hardware) device, not a server in this case.
- When testing External IP, app crashed, said lost connection to Pockethernet - I had to power it off/on again to reconnect.
- Ping, to server 1 works, server 2 never resolves, app crashed, said lost connection to Pockethernet - I had to power it on/off again to reconnect.
Tried a third time, server 1 works, server 2 never resolves, app crashed, said lost connection to Pockethernet - I had to power it on/off again to reconnect.
- CDP/LLDP is no longer reporting the VLAN I'm in, or the switch details when in an access port, or trunk port.
I'll post more details as I discover it.
Rest is looking pretty good so far.
das liegt wohl an der App.
Ich habe die beta Firmware mit mit der "normalen" App unter Android und iOS probiert: BER hat funktioniert. mit der Beta App unter Android ging es nicht.
Nexus 5x - Android 8.1.0 security patch august.
I agree with stsch69. Installed the "old" app, and all is working.
Hi we have updated the pocket ethernet with the beta version. We are having trouble producing the reports , a single report from multiple tests.
On the iphone it seems to email out single reports only.
Same as Kevin, no BER with fw 30 and app 30. I get results if I reinstall and use the 2.8a app instead (even with the 30 firmware).
also, under 30 App...No MAC address showing in INFO, No Hardware Info, No Firmware listed. All info present with 2.8a app and 30 fw.

“Studies of the Sagas invariably focus upon the events conveyed in Havamal as either a supernatural occurrence, a construct devoid of historical facts, or, as an historical piece separated from magical elements. Óðinn’s association with the gallows is well attested, equally so, his mastery of the runes. However, so much is taken for granted, and repeated as if written in stone. The Viking World and its peoples and their beliefs have been grossly underestimated and misrepresented. This is partially due to media hype and partially due to lazy scholarship. Largely, it is due to blinkered analysis that fails to apply lateral inclusions. Academia isolates subject matter, dissects it and presents dry reports on its findings. It does not consider context and ignores anomalies.
For example, it is commonly said that the Sagas offer only the briefest glimpse into their world, and that there are so many (impossible) gaps within them, a composite perspective eludes us. But this is not true. There is a wealth of knowledge and information ‘hidden in plain sight.’ Recognising this takes more than a trained eye, it requires a unique understanding that comes only from living those traditions and customs in a truly holistic way. In this way, insight and experience en-flesh and explain the literature and artefacts available to us.
One other major problem with mainstream works is a propensity to take everything ‘as read,’ Nothing is questioned or checked for accuracy or authenticity. Far too many mistakes are repeated verbatim. Popular publishing is concerned with glamour and image above content. It appeals to the lowest common denominator. Brief summaries or abbreviated works, simplified for mass consumption severely restrict content to the extent that superficiality is the mainstay, and this decreases exponentially any opportunity for detailed explanations. This facilitates plagiarism. Not only does this perpetuate the circulation of poor or incorrect information, it fails to provide reliable source material that is often crucial to unlocking clues scattered throughout the Sagas.
Beyond this general overview of the issues of academia and mainstream publishing, there are very specific matters regarding this particular monograph. Etymology is a vital aid to how we process information, not as a cold science of words, but as voices hidden in the text that offer full insight, often revealing an entirely new understanding of intent and purpose.
There is a real dearth of approachable works that ford the resources and research academia has in plenitude. I feel very strongly therefore, that this work is singularly unique in is approach and its conclusions. It is not an easy read; it is not meant for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. It is not written as an introduction to ‘—‘, nor is it a ‘how to—‘ . There is already a plethora of books in circulation that do this, and they all repeat the same material – only the authors change.
In contra-distinction to this, my work offers suggestions, insights, revelations, even challenges for those well-versed in these histories and traditions, who are already familiar with the sagas and skaldic traditions, and who like myself, crave works that advance our knowledge of them even further. This work offers them an opportunity to consider a pioneering, extensively researched concept piece that suggests a very credible and plausible explanation of events, not in isolation, but as contextual, linked aspects of one complex story spread across numerous historical works. As a multi-disciplinary approach is provides new ideas that can be discussed and explored by smaller interest groups who are poorly served by modern publishers.
“The discovery of the stone quarrying tools, which date to the approximate time of the construction of the first stone phase of the monument (c 2900BC), proves beyond reasonable doubt for the first time that Neolithic people quarried the Welsh stones that ended up being used to build the world’s most famous prehistoric temple.
But why did the builders of Stonehenge want to get their standing stones from 175 miles away when they could have used perfectly good local stones from Salisbury Plain?
“FDA officially warns against buying young blood. There is truly no data that says it’s helpful for humans” — Angela Chen, The Verge; from the Not-With-That-Attitude dept.
“Cognitive decline prevented in old mice with a dose of young bone marrow” — Rich Hardy, New Atlas; from the Red-Red-Wine dept.
“Tar for Mortar offers an in-depth exploration of one of literature’s greatest tricksters, Jorge Luis Borges. His short story ‘The Library of Babel’ is a signature examplar of this playfulness, though not merely for the inverted world it imagines, where a library thought to contain all possible permutations of all letters and words and books is plumbed by pious librarians looking for divinely pre-fabricated truths. One must grapple as well with the irony of Borges’s narration, which undermines at every turn its narrator’s claims of the library’s universality, including the very possibility of exhausting meaning through combinatory processing.
Borges directed readers to his non-fiction to discover the true author of the idea of the universal library. But his supposedly historical essays are notoriously riddled with false references and self-contradictions. Whether in truth or in fiction, Borges never reaches a stable conclusion about the atomic premises of the universal library — is it possible to find a character set capable of expressing all possible meaning, or do these letters, like his stories and essays, divide from themselves in a restless incompletion?

The Retro Duo Portable V2.0: another clone system to satisfy your nostalgic hunger. These so-called ‘clones’ are fast growing in popularity. Companies like Hyperkin and Retro-Bit have capitalised on the popularity of retro gaming by producing systems that can play your old console cartridges.
Retro-Bit is having a second crack at this caper by creating the Retro Duo Portable (RDP) V2.0 – a portable (to an extent) unit that plays SNES carts from any region without hacking or modifications. The RDP V2.0 is also capable of playing NES carts using the bundled RetroPort adapter, which sticks out like a sore thumb. The RDP V2.0 can also play Sega Mega Drive / Genesis cartridges using the RetroGEN adapter, which is sold separately.
Retro-Bit’s first attempt at hardware console creation was modest. The screen wasn’t too flash, the unit felt cheap and games compatibility was limited. They have learned from the experience and introduced a number of improvements for V2.0. These include: upgraded LCD screen, crisper sound, improved D-pad and button layout, better battery life (Lithium-ion) with LED indicator and most importantly, enhanced game cartridge compatibility.
The RDP V2.0 comes in a slick looking package. Inside you will find a vast amount of gear – the console itself, a plastic stand, TV/AV connection cable, power supply unit, RetroPort adapter, a controller hub and two SuperRetro controllers (which can also be used on your SNES!).
The unit feels sturdy in hand and has a nice soft coating. It doesn’t suffer from that cheap feel you get from other ‘clones’.
The D-pad and button layout is identical to a SNES pad, so you should feel right at home. However, the shoulder buttons do let the controls down as they are too close to the cartridge slot, but this is only a minor niggle. The external control pads are great to use if you intend on hooking the RDP V2.0 up to a TV, or if you use them natively on your SNES.
We did have a few compatibility issues with the Super FX SNES games, but overall we were pleased with Retro-Bit’s claim of improved compatibility.
Using the RetroPort adapter to play your NES carts basically renders the unit ‘un-portable’. The adapter sticks out above the unit which looks damn ugly. But hey, if you want to play your native old NES carts, you will put up with this unsightliness. Playing the RDP V2.0 with the RetroPort adapter definitely got attention on public transport.
The improved LCD screen is better than the original RDP (it has an increased pixel count), but it has a long way to go. You still have to ‘angle’ or ‘tilt’ the unit to get the best visibility, which gets annoying after a while. There is a contrast reset button which has three preset contrast settings for brightness. The clarity is average when compared to modern handhelds; but considering the price of the unit, it is understandable.
The beefing up of the sound is great in theory, however we did find the sound became distorted at maximum volume with a distinct ‘crackling’ on certain games (Super Smash TV). The sound was fine when playing with headphones, however the placement of the headphone jack should have been placed on the side of the unit, not on top (it gets in the way!).
Verdict: If you like the sound of a console that can play your SNES and NES cartridges out of the box, then check this unit out.
The Retro Duo Portable NES/SNES Game System retails for $99.99USD at ThinkGeek.

Don Brown is the award-winning author and illustrator of many picture-book biographies. His books have been given a Sibert Medal and an Orbis Pictus Award, among other awards and notice. He lives in Merrick, New York.
"Brown addresses information that’s sometimes omitted from children’s texts: only men were considered for the early astronaut programs, people and animals died in rocket tests and space flights, and Wernher von Braun forced concentration camp prisoners to build rockets for the Nazis before he surrendered to the Americans . . . A must for youth graphic collections."
"Brown uses his characteristic watercolors and mix of explanation and primary source quotes to balance art and science . . . The illustrations keep pace with the story and maintain the reader’s interest throughout."
"A broad yet eye-opening tribute to the astronauts' achievements . . . The Big Ideas That Changed the World series is off to a promising start with this illuminating, cogent volume."
"Engaging . . . [Brown] peppers the oft-told tale with details that don’t always make it to the textbooks."
"Brown’s visual storytelling offers humor, vibrancy, and a wealth of historical insight."

Does Creditrepair.com focus on disputes?
Unlike many of our competitors, the CreditRepair.com process does not depend upon an endless cycle of disputes. In fact, the bulk of our correspondence is sent to creditors, the biggest source of the data that credit bureaus use to create credit reports. Consumers are entitled to ask tough questions about everything included within their credit reports, and we've found it most useful to broaden those conversations to include the original data furnishers in order to ensure lasting results.
Basically, disputes take two forms: "not mine" or "not late." Consumers who are tackling simple errors can choose to file such disputes with the credit bureaus directly, either online or by written letter. Unfortunately, too often, the data problem originated with the creditors who first reported the inaccurate information in the first place. When faced with a dispute notification from a credit bureau, creditors are often happy to simply reaffirm their original report. That's one reason the CreditRepair.com approach includes extensive correspondence with original creditors. The second reason may be even more important, though: Even if a credit report item is accurate, it may not have been fairly reported in line with several consumer laws. Examples of accurate but unfair credit reporting may involve issues surrounding divorce, military service, student loan deferment, unsubstantiated or duplicated collections, and other credit-impacting life events. CreditRepair.com consumer advocates know how to ask the questions that consumers are entitled to ask in order to help you confront a problematic credit score. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also provides a helpful step-by-step guide for disputing errors on your credit report.
Can I, and should I, write my own dispute letters?
It is every consumer's right to dispute directly with the credit bureaus. Unfortunately, disputed items are sometimes just simply reaffirmed by the original creditors. Basically, the credit bureau's computer just pings the creditor's computer with a simple question: "Is this the data you have on file?" Since the answer to that circular question is almost always affirmative, we at CreditRepair.com have found it useful to broaden the discussion to include those creditors. Finally, simple dispute letters are usually only targeted toward inaccuracies. If a credit report listing is accurate, but hasn't been reported fairly or can't be legally substantiated, it can't remain. CreditRepair.com helps its members to ensure that what appears within their credit reports meets all three standards.
How can Creditrepair.com help the consumer dispute items on their credit reports?
We certainly do dispute items for our members whenever that's required. However the CreditRepair.com process doesn't usually begin or end there. In fact, 95% of our correspondences with the credit bureaus aren't disputes at all. Instead, since we do much of our work with the original creditors who reported the data in the first place, we're most often asking the credit bureaus to simply check with original creditors for updates. This three-way approach involving you, your creditors, and the credit bureaus helps to ensure that your credit repair is carried out with integrity and produces lasting results.

Day #2 of our mini-microchip clinic and community education event has dawned sunny and bright and practically balmy compared to yesterday!
We are back at Pet Valu Kanata CENTRUM (300 Earl Grey Drive) from 11 am – 4 pm.
AND on hand to be smooched and loved on by their fans will be BHRR’s Whisper (her first public appearance!) and BHRR’s Salem. BHRR’s Hercules, is going to stay at home for there is not a close spot for him to have a washroom break in this cold at the event and being a tripod, a bit too risky on all the ice we saw yesterday outside the stores.
We look forward to another wonderful day of great visitors, great times, lots of laughs and great memories plus experiences had for humans and dogs alike!
BHRR’s Whisper is all snuggled up in her borrowed coat and is excited!

New Years Eve is my favorite holiday. I just love the romance & promise of the start of a new year as you toast the one before. The sense of renewal is great, and brings such energy and enthusiasm to the coming year.
This has been a wonderful 2008 for Brocade-- I've worked with some amazing brides, met some incredible wedding professionals, and I have so many exciting weddings to come. Thank you for a wonderful, wonderful start! 2009 looks to be a fantastic year filled with opportunities for beautiful, innovative, and brilliant design.
In celebration of the New Year, I'd like to share the new 2008 New Year's Ball: this 12 foot sphere was designed by Waterford Crystal, and has more than 16 million possible color possibilities, with more than a billion color patterns!
The ball has been dropping from Times Square since 1907, and this most recent ball will remain in Times Square, changing colors and being fantastic display for guests, year round.
The New Years graphic features images borrowed from the New Year's website in Times Square. All rights reserved, of course.
May your celebrations be bright, merry, and full of fun. Remember to honor the year before & celebrate the accomplishments, learn from mistakes, acknowledge your disappointments-- and of course, look forward to the chance to start anew. The New Year is a lot like spring: a chance to plant new seeds, to embrace our own personal growth, to take stock at what we'd like to change, revise, and make resolutions about and for: A toast from me to you, for Auld Lang Syne: Happy New Year!
Did you know that 1/3 of all engagements happen between the winter holidays & Valentines day? That means that with Christmas falling tomorrow, many ladies out there will be asked that very special question-- and will embark on a very exciting journey as they plan their weddings.
A 1.07 carat cushion cut diamond with micropave-- Leon Mege is known for his skilled work with platinum and micropave, creating stunning works of art that are absolutely breathtaking.
A Royal Asscher cut diamond (1.63 carats) set in platinum with a tapered pave band. Yum.
1.78 Round Brilliant diamond set in a custom designed Mark Morrell setting made of Platinum.
No matter what you are dreaming of, I wish you a very happy and bright holiday! And if something sparkly does happen to be underneath that tree-- do leave me a comment-- remember, there's just a few more days left in the month to make a can for comment comment-- I want to make as many donations as I can to the wonderful dogs & cats out there that need homes, and in the spirit of Christmas, I will donate 3 extra cans for every comment left between today and New Years Eve! So get to commenting, everyone!
If you love Christmas light decorations (who doesn't), there's lots of ways to get youf fix. Bronners "My Christmas Wonderland" map lets you check out the top Christmas light shows for 2008. If you are traveling, see if one of your destinations is a "holiday hot spot" rated for brightness and with specific details about the show.
What a lovely holiday treat fresh flowers make!
While working on the Brocade holiday card for this wonderful Holiday season, I came up with a few permutations that I decided to launch in my etsy store. I absolutely love Etsy, and have been lurking on Etsy awhile, waiting for the time to be right to feature some of my designs-- so be sure to check them out. I'll talk about them here on my blog.
These cards are multi-purpose: they can either be used as an e-card, delivered via your email, housed on your website or blog, or featured on your social networking profile, or I also have high-resolution versions that are suitable for printing. You can buy the individual files and print them at your personal preferred printer, or I can take care of that for you. The cards can either be used as a flat card or can be converted into a folded holiday card-- your choice.
This whimsical card features hand-drawn elements of ornaments and lettering. I love the shade of red for this-- I really kind of fell head over heels with it. I like how this card is whimsical and fun.
Is that you.... Santa Claus? There's something about the santa hat that says "Holidays" in a way that makes it so you don't have to really say anything else.
Stars and Snowflakes in shades of green and blue make for a seasonal greeting that's modern and fresh.
Cut out ice-crystals hang suspended from the side of this card, a chilly reminder of the icy holiday season with a wish for warmth during the yuletide.
If you'd like to purchase one of these cards, visit my etsy shop!
The oh-so-lovely & talented Courtney of A Magical Affair (be sure to check out her fab x-mas party blog with the cool cactus of carnations) posted about "Cans for Comments": for now thru Dec. 31, if you post a comment to any of my blog posts, I'll donate a can of food to my local animal shelter. We have a great no-kill rescue, "Almost Home" that one of our brides is supporting for her favor, so we are going to support their effort as well, by donating cans to both them and our local shelter.
So, help out the animals this holiday season and leave a comment-- and show your support by starting your own "Cans for Comment" initiative on your blog!
It's that time of year when the "brr" factor is off the charts: cold winds, ice on the windshield. Winter. Snowflakes and icestorms (if you're from Tennessee, you'll know that's the quintessential winter weather in our fickle state) means that there's lots of reasons for mittens, scarves, and warm wooly sweaters.
I love winter weddings, because they provide a unique opportunity to try things that won't really work in the summer. Color pallates go more dramatic, the metallics come out to play, and heartier, winter fare replace the menu choices of the warmer months. Hearty soups, full- bodied wines, and creamy pastas are but a few of the menu selections I've seen on this upcoming winter season's menus.
While planning your favor, why not take that extra step and provide guests with a way to "warm up the chill" at your reception-- with a hot drinks bar.
A hot, yummy treat will sure to be one of the highlights of your winter reception!

We freaking love Stephen Wilkins over at Mind The Gap. You get a perspective we don’t find as often on the annals of the Web, doctors and healthcare providers sharing their experiences seeing another doctor. Recently, Stephen was given his first and very own patient portal, a way to “take an active role in his healthcare.” His excitement was shortlived, though, since the first email he received was kind of a huge letdown — he had no access to his doctor, no access to his records, and when he thought about it, he was even a bit insulted. Wasn’t going to the doctor, exercising, taking his meds, etc., all part of an active role in his healthcare? This patient portal offered nothing active, except emailing nurses and staff instead of his doctor.
Yes, healthcare needs to take advantage of the digital tools at our disposal. But doctors, let’s not insult our patient’s intelligence. Perhaps we don’t even need to directly engage them so much as make ourselves available, helpful and NOT disengaging.

The capital expenditure of Rs 700 crore will be utilised to complete Phase 2 of the technology centre at the Vallam Vadagal plant in Tamil Nadu and towards the development of new platforms and products. The company has also announced Vinod K Dasari as its new CEO.
Last few months of the Financial Year 2018-19 haven’t quite gone as Royal Enfield would have liked it. The company’s sales have been gradually declining. In March, the company could only sell 58,434 units in the local market – a colossal 21 percent less than the same month last year. Thankfully for the Chennai-based brand exports have been on the rise. Royal Enfield shipped out 2,397 in March 2019 in comparison to 1,878 units in the same month last year. Although the last few months have been tough, the brand has managed to post marginal growth in the financial year. 8,26,098 Royal Enfields were sold in the Financial Year ending March 2019 as opposed to 8,20,492 units in the same duration last year.
One of the primary reasons for the decline in sales of Royal Enfield is the absence of substantial updates. Well aware of the fact, the company has now announced an investment of Rs 700 crore in the financial year 2019-20. The investment will be utilised in completing phase II of their technical centre in Chennai and the development of new platforms and products.
Meanwhile, the company also announced that Vinod K. Dasari will take over as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Royal Enfield. Dasari was previously the Managing Director and CEO of Ashok Leyland, a position he held since 2011.

With the weather set to be nice today and pretty wet for the rest of the week, I was keen to get out and enjoy the Cornish countryside. Being indecisive as ever, Ash and I settled on a little walk on the Cornish Coastpath to a handsome little cove I know. The coastpath circumnavigates the entire Cornish peninsula and takes in some of the most breathtaking views in the country.
We wandered through the beautiful valley that leads to the sea, taking in the sights, sounds and ocean air. The valley and adjoining headland is managed by the National Trust and as such has been transformed into a wildlife haven over the ten years that I've been coming here. The valley was full of caterpillars, butterflies, crickets and grasshoppers, all providing food for birds, including young Kestrals, Larks, Pippets and Buntings. The NT have also planted reedbeds in the marshy base of the valley which has established itself well, providing a perfect habitat for more wildlife.
The cove itself is a handsome place protected from the full force of the north atlantic swells by a string of islands just offshore. This shield means there is an abundance of sealife with many pools full of life at low tide and at high tide it's great for snorkelling and spearfishing. We had a good look around in the rockpools and found a few treasures.
So I caught a prawn with my bare hands and had an idea.... I had my whitebox stove and terra kettle with me in a net bag. Lets have some fresh prawn for lunch! I opened up the net bag and planted it in the corner of a pool and, holding onto the drawstring of the bag, I used my other hand to herd prawns towards it. Once inside I yanked on the drawstring, capturing the wee crustacean. This technique proved quite successful, but the tide was pushing in and flooding the pools.
So we headed back up the beach to cook them up. Back up on the beach we found some dry seasoned small logs... Brilliant! the whitebox got put away and Ash and I set to work prepping firewood and we got a small fire going.
If we had a good look around and we were staying for a while or cooking for longer, we could have made a decent pothanger. As it was, I made do with a bit of old fishing net!
They didn't take long to cook, and I advise to use a lid as they try jumping out of the pot! Erin didn't want any so Corey, Ashley and I shared them out. Tasty!
We chilled for a while, letting the kids run around and enjoy the beach, then took a steady walk back along the valley. As we wandered up, the air was thick with the sound of crickets chirruping and larks singing. twas a fine and handsome day to be sure, made all the more rewarding for foraging food, water and firewood.
There's some lovely swimming there-especially on a spring low tide when you get the inland facing beach-roll on summer!
I like the look of that cove. I have not done any spear fishing yet this year and that does look good for a bit of flippin about with the twanger..

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that can help to protect the body’s cells from damage that is caused by the oxidative effects of free radicals. Studies have shown that Alpha Lipoic Acid appears to help prevent certain types of cell damage within the body, can restore levels of vitamins E and C, as well as improve the function and conduction of the neurons in diabetic patients. For diabetics who also suffer from neuropathy this is great news. It is also very freely absorbed by the body as a supplemental treatment for diabetic neuropathy. There are many medical benefits from taking Alpha Lipoic Acid as it has been shown to help with brain function and stroke, Dementia, Eye problems, Heart disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, as well as Diabetes. In the case of neuropathy studies have shown that Alpha Lipoic Acid can significantly reduce the painful symptoms such as burning, numbness, itching, or tingling in the arms and legs that are related to peripheral neuropathy in individuals with diabetes.
Alpha Lipoic Acid can be taken as a supplemental dosage either given intravenously or by mouth in capsule form. Treatment may take a few weeks to patients to see improvement with their symptoms. But for the diabetic patient experiencing constant and excruciating pain from neuropathy, this release from the painful symptoms can be life altering. Alpha Lipoic Acid has been used for years in Europe, specifically in Germany, in order to treat peripheral neuropathy. There have also been studies that show it may support with another condition related to diabetes called autonomic neuropathy. Autonomic neuropathy affects the nerves of the internal organs as opposed to peripheral neuropathy which affects the nerves of the body’s extremities.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a dietary supplement and should only be used under the administration of a physician because of the chance of side effects or interactions with other medications a patient may be taking. The side effects are rare, however, when present usually include a skin rash. Individuals who have Diabetes, it is vital that careful blood glucose monitoring take place as Alpha Lipoic Acid could lower blood sugar levels when combined with different types of medications that are often used for treating diabetes.

In the coming months, students interested in female empowerment will have the opportunity to join the International Movement for Resilience, Authenticity, and Activism (IMRAA): A Coalition of Women for Women. This is a new activist organization at the College of William and Mary. IMRAA aims to provide female students with an inclusive environment that fosters holistic self-growth, community service and intersectional engagement.
IMRAA’s founders, Amna Baloul ‘20, Dena Bashri ‘20, Kayla Gibbs ‘20 and Kelsey Vita ‘20, are interested in developing a community that rises above conventional narratives of religious, racial and partisan backgrounds. Their organization seeks to unite female students on the basis of their shared experiences while providing them with a forum for expression and discussion. Through these discussions, female students will equip themselves with the tools necessary to develop their most authentic selves.
IMRAA will reflect its mission of existing as an inclusive female empowerment group which transcends religion, race, ethnicity, and political views to unite and connect on the basis of being females in this society who feel moved to empower one another.
“IMRAA will reflect its mission of existing as an inclusive female empowerment group which transcends religion, race, ethnicity, and political views to unite and connect on the basis of being females in this society who feel moved to empower one another,” Baloul said in an email.
IMRAA is also founded on the belief that empowerment and mindfulness are intrinsically linked, and as such, the organization aims to reduce academic and personal stress among potential members. Noting that women often repress the universal struggles encountered in both their private and public lives, IMRAA strives to become an environment where female students can combat burdensome conflicts through spiritual and mental reflection.
IMRAA’s founders maintain that genuine empowerment can only be accomplished by advocating on behalf of mental health and mindfulness, which the organization aims to promote through various workshops.
IMRAA’s establishment at the College is emblematic of a broader pattern of female activism and engagement occurring throughout the United States, particularly in political spheres.
Among IMRAA’s planned initiatives for the upcoming academic year are Sisters Discuss seminars, which the organization’s founders describe as student-led discussions where members will engage in conversations about the universal struggles encountered by women of all backgrounds. IMRAA also hopes to introduce guest speakers to these discussions to foster collaboration with a broader community of like-minded women. These sessions will ensure that a wide range of female perspectives are heard on campus.
“The Sisters Discuss experience will be particularly special since it will produce tangible practices students can use to enhance their quality of life and state of mind,” Baloul said.
The prioritization of mental health and mindfulness are among IMRAA’s unique approaches toward female empowerment, and the organization’s planned initiatives aim to complement, rather than compete with, existing services on campus. IMRAA’s founders expressed their desire to host an organization-sponsored mindfulness retreat where interested students will be able to spend time away from campus to improve their personal, scholastic and professional well-being.
IMRAA will organize a mindfulness retreat for any members who would like to attend in order to further renew their energy and develop a more peaceful state of mind.
“IMRAA will organize a mindfulness retreat for any members who would like to attend in order to further renew their energy and develop a more peaceful state of mind,” Baloul said.
While new to the College, IMRAA will be part of a growing global network of organizations devoted to similar approaches toward female empowerment. Seeking recognition from the College as an established organization may take months, but IMRAA aims to begin serving the community by the end of the fall semester. By late August, IMRAA had approximately one hundred students on its mailing list and the founders hope to add to that tally in the coming semester.
“We’re in the process of becoming a recognized student organization and have been in contact with the Student Leadership Development staff,” Baloul said.

This study is aimed to understand the urbanization pattern and its impacts on the groundwater of the city. Hydrographs from different parts of the city specify the increasing trend of drop of water level throughout the city and indicate higher vulnerability of groundwater in the central city area where both the vertical and lateral recharge is insignificant and the withdrawal rate is higher than the other parts of the city since the area is densely populated as well as commercial. Therefore, the study has intended to put forward some measures such as reduction of high dependency on groundwater, conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water, rainwater harvesting, preservation of wetlands in and around the city, artificial recharge, reduction of wastage; that may contribute effectively in the sustainable utilization of groundwater resource.

The Horseshoe Casino in Cleveland is pushing to be the first casino to open in the state. Construction crews have been busy working on renovating a historic building into the new casino. The building was previously a department store and is 80 years old.
The crew is being monitored by a preservation group that will ensure that the building will not be damaged. Features of the building, such as the doors and columns are being carefully preserved. Windows are also being installed to make the casino more appealing to guests.
Currently there are 600 members of the construction crew that are working 10 hour shifts to get the project completed.
The Horseshoe Casino is estimated to open March of 2012.

The world’s 1.5 billion small-scale farmers grow 80% of the food we all eat. Yet they live in isolated rural places, so most remain disconnected from the internet and the global digital economy. Small-scale farmers are some of the most disadvantaged people in the developing world: half of the world’s undernourished people, three-quarters of Africa’s malnourished children, and the majority of people living in absolute poverty live on small farms.
Without the internet, farmers have limited access to vital information whether they urgently need to overcome a problem or want to develop new skills. They also struggle to access quality affordable farm inputs or financial services and rarely receive fair prices for their produce. Nearly half the food they produce is lost at ground level and many struggle to feed their families, let alone pay for healthcare or invest in their family’s future.
With the world’s population projected to grow from 7 to 9 billion by 2050 and climate change wreaking havoc on arable land worldwide, increased pressure on the global food supply will only persist. So this a problem not just for the farmers, but for every single person on earth.
But there is some good news. 90% of small-scale farmers DO have access to a mobile phone and there is a huge body of knowledge contained within the global farming community. Which is why Wefarm exists to put small-scale farmers ‘on the grid’ using technology they have in their hands RIGHT NOW - basic mobile phones.
With Wefarm, farmers can share and access vital information on anything from how to increase their income by improving crop yields to battling a disease which is decimating their livestock. This is all without leaving their farm, spending any money... or having any access to the internet.
To show just how much our service is needed, over 1.3m farmers have joined since we launched in 2015 and at our current growth trajectory, in the next five years, we will connect millions of farmers worldwide. We are also building a digital ecosystem for global agriculture with farmers at the very centre. This ecosystem will not only provide peer sourced information, but ALSO connect farmers with products (like seeds) and services (like loans) they need to act on advice they receive AND become a brand new marketplace for farmers to sell their produce.
The billions of farmer to farmer interactions on Wefarm generate game changing insight into smallholder needs and challenges. This insight will transform the way that NGOs, governments and companies understand and engage with smallholder farmers. For example we can track a pest outbreak in real time so that immediate remedial action can be taken or give smallholders a voice in strategic decision making of multi million dollar commodities companies.
Our technology is at the forefront of breaking down barriers to technological development for farmers in developing countries worldwide. Wefarm uses the very latest machine learning technology to connect 'the unconnected' by (basic) SMS.
Meet Victor, a tea farmer in Kenya. He woke up one morning to find his tea farm being attacked by a pest he’d never seen before. So, he sends a free SMS to the Wefarm number. Wefarm’s machine learning technology shares Victor’s question with those Wefarm users most likely to have the answer to his question.
In this situation, it was Doris, a tea farmer in Uganda who’s been dealing with the same pest for over 20 years. Who better than Doris to share advice with Victor? She sends an SMS back and Victor, miles away and without any internet connection, receives an answer to his question within 15 minutes.
Victor gets the valuable information he needs to solve his farming problem – without needing the internet and without having leave his farm.
Wefarm has built a service which has already enabled millions of farmers in isolated rural locations to share information by SMS across four languages families: English, Swahili, Luganda and Runyakitara. As far as we are aware, we have developed the first large-scale dataset and built the first NLP models for multiple regional African languages, able to understand intent and to identify (with spell-checking) when a farmer talks about a specific crop. We have built custom algorithms to identify the users best placed to answer a question. And we have begun to identify real-world trends within our unique multilingual text data.
Moreover, as farmers start to gain access to smartphones, Wefarm will remain ‘channel agnostic’ - connecting farmers who have smartphones with farmers who still have basic feature phones. Our ability to recognise local regional languages such as Luganda and Ruyankore, will be fundamental to enabling these farmers to connect in the future and consequently share both knowledge and commerce.
Our network is growing exponentially by 2k farmers a day (it took nearly 5 months to reach our first 2k users in 2015). We recently processed over 1 million questions and answers in one month which is more than Quora and Stackoverflow combined.
We are on target to reach 2 million farmers by mid 2019, 15% of smallholders in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2020 and 30% by 202. And farmers use Wefarm A LOT - our active user rate is on par with Twitter (20%) and they keep using it - our retention rate (90%) is higher than WhatsApp.
And farmers tell us it really WORKS. 70% of farmers surveyed, reported improved prosperity since using Wefarm. They told us that Wefarm has helped them to produce higher quality product, increase yields, gain insight into market pricing, tackle the effects of climate change, diversify agricultural interests and much more.
Take Michael from Kenya, whose tea was affected by three different diseases. He asked Wefarm about each one and received solution from farmers who had already faced the same problems. Their advice ultimately saved his farm and nearly doubled his tea yield, which is ultimately helping him and his family access new opportunities.
In the future, Wefarm will empower millions of farmers across the world to have the power in their hands to work, grow and prosper, together.

PART 10: OUT OF RETIREMENT AFTER A BOUT WITH IDLE TIME AND A STRIPPER TYPE WHO (READERS SHOULD BE WARNED) IS NOT A MUSE.
And you know something? He was right.
I had too much to do and not enough time to help you with the problems you might be having with paper and paper-related products, didn’t I? Well, guess what I found out? I found out that without helping you … I can’t help myself.
I was a mess in my so-called retirement from the paper advice column. Housebound by day, sleeping until three in the afternoon when I would wake up to a knock on the front door for a room-temperature Safeway-brand lemon-lime soda and a single untoasted Pop Tart brought to me by a stripper type who was apparently staying at the investment banker’s place across the hall. She kept showing up at my door pretty occasionally bringing me bad snacks and saying that she knew who I was, and that she loved my work. This was very flattering until it became apparent that she thought I was an actor from a Canadian television show about crime fighting. Still, it was strangely beautiful answering the door each morning/afternoon to watch her try to understand and fulfill maternal urges that were coming up for air after being suppressed for years under a weighty pile of juke-boxed classic rock and hot-boxed Marlboro Lights. So anyway, I didn’t hurry to tell her who I actually was, because the mistaken recognition and misplaced fanfare felt good with it getting darker out earlier, and the holidays and all. Besides, I was retired, after all … and I was trying to forget who I really was. I was trying to forget about you and your letters about paper. I was trying to forget everything I knew about the paper industry, and paper-related products.
Premium-grade laser 20-pound stock? Never heard of it. Fox River archival quality acid-free bond? Wouldn’t know, pal. Keep walking.
But you can’t forget what’s in your blood, can you? I was being of service to nobody but, well, this muse. Damn it, this is the time to finally be honest with myself and with you … she was not a muse. I got nothing written during my retirement from the paper column, I have to tell you. And if there’s one piece of advice, aside from paper advice, that I can give you, it is this: one homesick comely tart from Vancouver who’s living in your wealthy neighbor’s apartment rent-free and knocking on your door at odd hours to offer you second-rate snack food, does not a muse make.
Tiffany (if that was even her real name) is gone. And I’m back. Let’s act like this time away never happened. From now on, it’s me and you, and paper.
I’m an avid reader of your paper column and have benefited immensely from your ongoing advice. I come to you now in a time of great desperation. I am a struggling writer, having spent four years of my secondary life learning the craft of English. I write with paper and pen and I write the most beautiful sentences and clever interesting combinations of words. The problem is, when I get around to reading back what I’ve written on the paper, it’s somehow transformed into absolute gibberish-hokey-high-school drivel. I’m certain the problem isn’t me, as my limited sanity hinges on that belief. I was hoping you could recommend some paper that would accurately convey what I write down when read back.
Something I’ve found is that cheap-motel notepads lend an unbelievably sage weight and road-worn maturity to anything you jot down on them. 9000 … that’s a silly last name. Anyhow, Brydon, even if all you’ve got to write is … I have never … I’m trying to remember if, in all my life, I’ve ever lived next door to a family named the 9000s. No … no, I haven’t. That really is a strange last name. My sister Nan lived in Atlanta briefly and knew somebody named Aaron Five-O. A Hawaiian guy living down there. He’s the only numbered surname that comes to mind. They got hooked on stuff together … grass and Cocktails For Two®-brand piña coladas mostly, but then they cleaned up their acts, got engaged, and started managing an apartment complex for retired blues musicians. Anyway, listen … a Days Inn, Motel 6, or Comfort Inn notepad and plastic ballpoint pen will do wonders for your writing. I swear, you could write a grocery list on the damn things and feel like Kerouac.
What kind of chemicals are used to treat the thinner-than-tissue paper I use to wrap plant material with before I incinerate and inhale the contents?
Rick’s awesome. “Nothing to lose,” that’s what I think every time I see him … and I always feel like I should be living a little more like him. A little less obsessed with what life is leading up to, and why we all do what we do, and instead just having some fun with it. You know what I mean? Anyway, back to your situation. The fact of the matter is this: you’re a grown man referring to himself as a doctor, and you just asked a 37-year-old Internet-based advice columnist for some information about your rolling papers. Shall we sit together in this feeling any longer? Can you feel it killing our impressions of ourselves the longer we sit with it? I can. Tonight I’ll feel the weight of this exchange when I stare at the ceiling, reflecting on my day and trying to sleep. We’re getting older, Doctor. But you roll another fat one, and I’ll sit here at a little table at 3 in the morning doing my Internet writing. Ding, ding! All aboard … next stop, 50th birthday!
I think what you’re trying to say is that you want me to help you. But I’m afraid you haven’t told me what problem you’re having with paper. I want me to … want to … wait a second. Let me try it this way: I want you … and me to want me … to … help me help … you. I think you know what I’m trying to say; I just can’t make it into a short and clever thing the way you did. But rest assured, I am here. Again.

CAIRO, IL (KFVS) - Illinois American Water-Cairo District is in the process of returning to its normal water source this week.
Construction has been completed at the Cairo Water Treatment Plant to improve the intake structure in Ohio River. This construction resulted in a need to use well groundwater as an alternate source of water supply temporarily.
"This change ensured residents continued to receive reliable water service critical to public health and community fire protection while the construction on the plant's intake system was completed," said Senior Operations Manager Grant Evitts. "We thank the community for their patience and understanding."
The transition is expected to be completed this week.
The Cairo District will also begin flushing fire hydrants and water mains. The work will continue over the next four to six weeks.
Customers may experience a slight drop in water pressure or draw some discolored water temporarily.
If this occurs, it is recommended that customers let their cold water run to clear before using it again and refrain from doing laundry during that time.
Fire hydrants will also be checked and operated to help ensure fire protection in the community.
For more information, customers can call the 24-hour Customer Service Center at (800) 422-2782 or visit www.illinoisamwater.com.

This South African favourite came into existence in the 17th century with the influence of Indonesians and Indians who came to work in Cape Town. This blend prides itself on its balanced combination of sweet and savoury flavours. The three main cooking methods for using the Cape Malay mix are 1) to make a beef curry, 2) to make kebabs for grilling or bbq, ensuring that the meat has been well marinated in the spices or 3) in a rich stew with a tomato sauce and other vegetables. Some call it the 'soul food of South Africa'.
Ingredients: Cloves, Coriander, Cumin, Mustard, Fennel, Fenugreek, Pepper, Cardamom, Turmeric, Ginger, Curry Leaves, Chilli.

Okey Dokey. We’re ready to roll over here.
Here’s what’s going on at Filbert Publishing. I’ve been quiet these past few months… at least online.
However behind the scenes things are popping.
Every one of my books is getting polished and (most importantly) updated. Better yet? Four of the manuscripts (out of ten) are complete, and are available everywhere. Next up, the hard copies.
However, what’s even better is that the intro prices are incredible.
For example, our classic “Jumpstart Your Writing Career and Snag Paying Assignments” is updated, expanded, ready to roll and has a great intro price of 2.99. Look for a bunch of other titles to follow this same path.
Also… watch for some great freelance writing content heading your way. As of today, we’re looking at sending weekly messages, all geared towards making your freelance biz hum.
Oh yeah. Keep your eyes peeled for next week’s message. It’ll be fun.
Let’s end 2015 with a bang.
Think it’ll take forever to earn a great living as a writer?
If you want to be a freelance writer who snags paying assignments, this book’s for you.
Since the cancer, I’ve developed an annoying personality quirk. Hopefully I can explain it adequately… perhaps you experience something similar.
Before the cancer, back when I was healthy, happy, and daring, I’d get an idea, run with it, go after it whole hog, then let the chips fall where they may. Writing was an adventure. Marketing was fun. I’d read about an idea, immediately give it a shot, note the results.
Now I feel like I have an invisible leash attached to my soul. If I research a new… say… marketing technique, rather than run to try it out, I think about it. I ponder any potential consequences. I count the costs.
Suddenly, everything matters. A lot.
Where pre-cancer life as an adventurous game, post cancer life feels different, a bit more precious. Since the Big C, I utterly resist hopping into the herd and racing towards an imaginary finish line. I don’t want to chase dollars, I want to make a difference.
Writing projects I would have jumped into with unbridled gusto, I now abhor if they pull me away from my self-assigned tasks.
I’m not sure I like this new me. I think too much. Sometimes I get weepy. More and more, I find myself wandering towards my roots: the reason I entered this crazy profession.
I’m a writer. I’m a weaver of stories. I adore helping other writers find their voice.
Near as I can tell, since the cancer and my decision to chuck every project that doesn’t somehow fit into my obtuse definition of what I want my writing career to be, that inner resistance has sometimes become oppressive.
In “Advice to Freelance Writers,” I talk a lot about how each writer has their own, personal “Polaris.” You can use this ultimate goal/guiding star to navigate your career. This new resistance is like Polaris on steroids.
When I’m ignoring my post cancer Polaris, life becomes hopeless, sad, unmanageable… until I get back on my desired path. Whereas my pre-cancer road felt wide and easy, this post cancer trail is narrow, hilly, sometimes difficult.
But it’s the road I love. It’s the road I live. It’s the road I prefer.
I may sound snooty. Perhaps I am. But I’ve read that cancer is the “pit bull of diseases.” Today, my scans are clean, but often, in the end, cancer generally wins. And if I have a limited amount of time to write, I’m want to make it count.
You’ve subscribed to Writing Etc. I’m glad you’re here.
However, I’m not going to promise that freelancing is a walk in the park. It’s not. Easy? No. The adventure of a lifetime? Yeah.
Today, what I want you to do… right now… is to ponder why you write. Jot down your reasons. Then take note of when you experience resistance.
As for me, I’m working through it, zeroing in on the tasks I feel will benefit you while feeding my soul the most. I’ve got some great articles in the queue. I’ve been quiet too long and finally have something I feel is valuable enough to say.
I look forward to an interesting post-cancer adventure. Keep your eye out for some fun articles this month.

I realized that I had run across something that was practical and workable. But I didn’t consider it then (neither do I now) as anything mystical, except in the sense that it is unknown to the majority of people. This “something” has always been known to a fortunate few down the centuries, but for some unknown reason it is still barely understood by the average person.
Again I wondered when I accompanied the police in answering a riot call: some Holy Rollers in a moment of hysteria had knocked over a stove and set fire to their meeting hall. When I attended my first (and only) meeting of Shakers, I wondered – as I did while attending various spiritualistic meetings. I wondered as I heard the testimonials at the Christian Scientists’ Wednesday night meetings. I wondered when I watched a group of people immersed in the icy waters of a mountain stream and coming up shouting “Hallelujah!” even though their teeth were chattering. I wondered at the Indians’ ceremonial dances and their rain-dance rituals. Billy Sunday also caused me to wonder as, in later years, did Aimee Semple McPherson.
In my early days as a newspaper man, I saw a famous medium try to make “spirits” respond before a crowded courtroom of antagonistic scoffers. The judge had promised to release the medium if he could get the “spirits” to speak in the courtroom. Yet they failed to materialize, and I wondered why – because the medium’s followers had testified to remarkable seances.
Many years later, I was commissioned to write a series of articles on what the police call the “fortune-telling racket.” I visited everyone from gypsy phrenologists to crystal-ball gazers, from astrologers to spiritualistic mediums. I heard what purported to be the voices of old Indian “guides” tell me the past, the present, and the future, and I heard from relatives I never knew existed.
Apparently I was born with a huge bump of curiosity, for I have always had an insatiable yearning to seek answers and explanations. This quest has taken me to many strange places, brought to light many peculiar cases, and caused me to read every book I could get my hands on dealing with religions, cults, and physical and mental sciences. I have read literally thousands of books on modern psychology, metaphysics, ancient magic, Voodoo, Yoga, Theosophy, Christian Science, Unity, Truth, New Thought, Couéism, and many others dealing with what I call “Mind Stuff,” as well as the philosophies and teachings of great masters of the past.
Many were nonsensical, others strange, and many very profound. Gradually I discovered that a golden thread runs through all the teachings and makes them work for those who sincerely accept and apply them, and that thread can be named in the single word belief. It is this same element or factor – belief – that causes people to be cured through mental healing, enables others to climb high the ladder of success, and gets phenomenal results for all who accept it. Why belief works miracles is something that cannot be satisfactorily explained; but have no doubt that there’s genuine magic in believing. “The magic of believing” became a phrase around which my thoughts steadily revolved.
I am convinced that the so-called secret fraternal organizations guard a real “royal secret” which very few members ever grasp. The conclusion must be that “no mind ever receives the truth until it is prepared to receive it.” One order provides candidates with a very profound book (to be studied in connection with the degree work), which itself would be practically an open-sesame to life if the candidates could understand and follow its tenets. But few read it, complaining that “it is too deep” for them. I am convinced, too, that some of these organizations, like many secret orders which possess a knowledge and understanding of life, use parables and misinterpretations to mislead.
Fortunately for the world, people are coming to the realization that there is something to this “mind-stuff” after all. I believe that millions of people would like to get a better understanding of it – and prove that it does work.
Early in 1918, I landed in France as a “casual” soldier, unattached to a regular company. As a result, it was several weeks before my service record (necessary for my pay) caught up with me.
Shortly after the idea of T.N.T. – It Rocks the Earth came to me but before I put it on paper, I took a trip to the Orient and sailed on the Empress of Japan, noted for its excellent cuisine. In my travels through Canada and in Europe I had developed a fondness for Trappist cheese made by the Trappist monks of Quebec. When I couldn’t find it on the ship’s menu, I laughingly complained to the chief steward that I had sailed on his ship only to get some of the famous ‘Trappist” cheese. He replied that he was sorry, but there was none aboard.
The more I thought about it, the more I hungered for some of that cheese. One night a ship’s party was held. Upon returning to my cabin quarters after midnight, I found a big table had been set up in one of the rooms. On it was the largest cheese I had ever seen. It was “Trappist” cheese.
Later I asked the chief steward where he found it. “I was certain we had none aboard when you first mentioned it,” he answered, “but you seemed so set on having some, I made up my mind to search through all the ship’s stores. We found it in the emergency storeroom in the bottom of the hold.” Something was working for me on that trip, too, for I had no claim to anything but ordinary service. However, I sat at the executive officer’s table and was frequently his personal guest in his quarters, as well as on inspection trips through the ship.
The ship got under way. As we steamed out of the harbor, the dining-room steward asked passengers to appear in the dining room for assignment to tables. When I came before him, about half the assignments had been made. He asked for my ticket, glanced at it and then at me, saying, “Oh yes, table A, seat No. 5.” It was the captain’s table, and I was seated directly across from him.
You have often heard it said that you can if you believe you can. An old Latin proverb says, “Believe that you have it, and you have it.” Belief is the motivating force that enables you to achieve your goal. If you are ill and embedded deeply within you is the thought or belief that you will recover, the odds are that you will. It’s the belief or the basic confidence within you that brings outward material results. I speak of normal and mentally healthy people. I wouldn’t tell a handicapped person that he could excel in baseball or football. Nor would I tell a woman who was quite plain-looking that she could make herself into a great beauty overnight, since the odds are against it. Yet these things could happen, for there have been many remarkable cures. And when more is learned about the powers of the mind, I firmly believe that we shall witness many cures that today’s medical profession deems impossible. Finally, I would never discourage anyone; for in this life, anything can happen – and what can help bring it to pass is Hope.
My neighbor said he looked at the stranger for a moment, then said: “While you’re about it, will you count mine, too?” He did, and my neighbor thought no more about it until after he had gone home and he happened to look at his hands one day. “The mess of warts had entirely disappeared!” he told me.
I told this story to a group of doctors one day. A well-known specialist – and personal friend – grunted, saying, “Preposterous!” Across the table, another doctor who had recently been teaching in a medical school came to my aid, declaring that there were many authenticated cases of suggestion having been used to cure warts.
Since this conversation, considerable publicity was given to the findings of Dr. Frederick Kalz, a noted Canadian authority who flatly stated that suggestion works in many cases, even to curing warts that are infectious and caused by a virus. In a 1945 article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Dr. Kalz declared that, “In every country in the world some magic procedures to cure warts are known . . . It may be anything from covering the wart with spider-webs to burying toad eggs on a crossroad at new moon; all these magic procedures are effective, if the patient believes in them.” In describing the treatment of patients with skin trouble, he says, “I have often prescribed the very same ointment, accompanied by some promising words, which has been tried unsuccessfully by some other medical man, and got credit for a quick cure.” He also points out that X-ray therapy is especially suggestive; it works even when the technician fails to switch on the high power! Experiments with systematic fake irradiation bear out this observation. Here in Dr. Kalz’s work we see actual examples of the magic of believing at work in the curing of warts and the treatment of skin trouble.
“Oh, he was just a senile old man,” remarked another specialist at the table, a nationally known member of the American Medical Association.
Great investigators and thinkers of the world, including many famous scientists, are in the open today, freely discussing the subject and giving the results of their experiments. Shortly before his death, Charles P. Steinmetz, famous engineer of the General Electric Company, declared, “The most important advance in the next fifty years will be in the realm of the spiritual – dealing with the spirit – thought.” Dr. Robert Gault, while professor of Psychology at Northwestern University, was credited with the statement: “We are at the threshold of our knowledge of the latent psychic powers of man.” Much has been written and said about mystical powers, unknown forces, the occult, metaphysics (beyond science), mental physics, psychology (the science of mind), black and white magic, and many kindred subjects, causing most people to believe that they are in the field of the supernatural.
“Your book T.N.T. put forth in workable form all that I had known before. It was like seeing Niagara Falls for the first time. One knew there was such a place; but confirmation was the actual personal contact with it. And so, T. N. T. gave me in print the facts I had known and used, but in a clear form. Here was something I could read and use day by day, holding the thoughts till they were fully demonstrated.
“It was no easy matter, at first, to completely accept your ideas. But my circumstances and physical condition forced me to keep at it continuously until understanding came. . . .You see, in February, 1924, I was stricken with partial paralysis of my lower limbs. I needed crutches to even get about at all, and at best, for only short distances, and at a snail’s pace. For a bank executive who had been active in the business world this forced inactivity was not easy to get used to. It was bearable only because I received government compensation – my disability being considered due to service during the World War. However, in 1933, the Government dropped me from the compensation rolls, and I was forced to make a living. My home and other properties were about to be repossessed. It was not a pleasant picture, nor a hopeful future.
“Necessity forced me to put into practice the principles you explained so well. Sticking to it proves them. Possibly I was favored because I couldn’t quit the insurance and public accounting business – due to my inability to enter any other kind of work. But persistence gives confidence, and continued right mental attitude followed by consistent action will bring success. I haven’t reached the degree of success I desire, but that does not bother me at all, for now I am making a good living, have saved my properties, and know the formula that leads to the fullest success.
I don’t know whether I was inspired, but I dictated the first draft of my brochure in its entirety in less than five hours, without notes or references of any kind before me. At the same time the idea for the brochure came to me, the words, “cosmic consciousness,” floated before my mind. They meant nothing then.
In the same letter, she urged me to read Dr. Richard Maurice Bucke’s Cosmic Consciousness, declaring that it contained brilliant accounts of the actual experience of illumination. When I did, I was astounded to discover that my experience actually paralleled the illuminations listed and explained by Dr. Bucke. In the original draft of my brochure, I had described in detail my experience with “brilliant white light.” But subsequently, when I showed the manuscript to a close friend, he urged me to tone down the wording: “People won’t know what you are talking about in referring to that ‘white light’ – some may think you’ve gone off the deep end.” Consequently, I changed it. But those of you that know something about “cosmic illumination” and have read my earlier small book will catch my reference to the “light.” However, the memory of that singular experience will always remain with me: in those few seconds, I received more knowledge and understanding than I had ever received in years of reading and studying.
Therefore, take great care that you do not misuse the science of “Mind Stuff.” I cannot emphasize this too strongly, for if you employ it for harmful or evil purposes, it will boomerang and destroy you just as it has others down through the centuries. These are not idle words, but solemn words of warning.

This is a real story that took place in my neighboring county. The hero-master is Mr. Liang whom I saw also 'touring' around his home-village on a simple tricycle without any body-guard！The local farmers told me：“The billionare acts as ordinary citizen who often grows vegetable with us in the field.” His experience is legendary episode that is worth doing further research on!
Born in 1955. The family was every poor. At age of ten, his young brother was hungry to death whose stomach-skin was as thin as paper through which it seemed that he could see the inside organs! That tragedy forced the boy to make determination to go begging for living to lighten parents' burden!
All the fields was flooded with water. No harvest even weeds were expected due to the natural disaster! He went everywhere for begging during which the three-year special period he had experienced too much about human bitterness! He admired those happy children in school while he was still eager to wait for lunch-hour when he could do begging for the empty stomach! Floating like boat in the ocean, the teenage boy learned a lot on how to deal with others!
('Most of the people were kind to me, I will work hard to earn money as more as possible when I grow up! If so, I would like deliver one pot of steaming buns to each household that is my dream!” Said the billionare before the TV correspondant with tears coming down! ) -----------Here Searu can't help crying for his touching words and deed!
Don't give false hopes to your countrymen! That is not likely to be repeated; there is a one in 1.4 billion chance of a beggar becoming a billionaire! Better talk about more practical cases, like the school teacher who became a billionaire, or the pig farmer who became a millionaire! Beggar becoming billionaire? That was a fluke. Fat hope! Don't send the wrong message and get your compatriots to go out and beg!
Ho, I had 'received' your original comment before this edited one!
Thanks for your participation that would encourage me to tell the whole story in my limited English!
Mr. Liang Tisen had made two billions Chinese dollars as profit from his real estate project （The Rose Garden） in the north suburb of Peking. To many people‘s surprise, he decided to shift his career into the agriculture section where he would like spend a sum of money on high-quality-seed-patato-breeding!
It is said he has invested three billions Yuan on the patato cause. Hire scientists to join in his team; Build biology labs for good-seed development; To form modern farms for seed-patato growing and production with advanced machines! Really he had been crazy on the struggling for his goal: Let more people become rich through science and hard work!
Mr. Liang is an ex-ordinary Chinese who is smart on business with politician-like foreseeing plus strong determination!
What a great farmer he is!
Is my topic of the post worth discussion?
If I understood the story told so far, then the only interesting piece here is how this Mr went from a beggar into two billion RMB real estate tycoon. Care to sed some light on that?
The rest, eg. how he chose to spend his wealth, is quite trivial. China needs more food, and more quality in agriculture, and that was just good investment call with positive social development dimensions.

From L- R: Head, Life Retail Business, Bolorunduro Saliu; Head, Corporate Services, Olubunmi Adeleye; General Manager, Life Business, Tinashe Muyambo and Head, Sales & Distribution, Life Business, Oluwafemi Adebayo all of Leadway Assurance Company Limited during the unveiling of the ‘See-finish Campaign’ for the launch of the Leadway Family Benefit Plan Plus held in Lagos on Friday, 22 March 2019.
Leadway Assurance has announced that it has made new exciting additions to its bouquet of products by the introduction of the new Leadway Family Benefit Plan Plus (Leadway FBPP). The Leadway FBPP has been enhanced to create unmatched value for customers, who now stand to gain from the multi-life Policy.
The core offering of the product, called the Leadway FBPP, provides those covered under the policy with the benefit of having Leadway meet the heavy burden of specified funeral expenses for their loved ones covered under the policy. Leadway pays the specified funeral expenses in the event of the demise of the Policy-holder or any of the additional assured Lives if their death precedes that of the Policyholder ensuring concerned loved ones can meet the immediate needs of the family without the fear of falling into financial strain.
The Leadway Family Benefit Plan Plus allows a policyholder to access a bouquet of benefits, which includes but not limited to funeral expenses for the policyholder or their Spouse, the parents, and/or parents in-law that are named in the policy.
As part of efforts to inform the public about the benefits of the new Leadway FBPP, Leadway Assurance kicked off a week long teaser tagged; “See-Finish” heralding the product launch. The teaser mirrored the reality of young Nigerians who are left in financial distress when aged family members pass away, especially, parents and in-laws to mention but a few. It is at this difficult time the grieving ones are often left at the mercy of sometimes merciless benefactors.
According to Tinashe Muyambo, the General Manager of Leadway’s Life Division, the new Leadway FBPP is now designed to provide more than just the funeral benefits upon the death of any of the assured lives. With some additional benefits built into it as compensation package for the surviving and grieving loved family members of the Policyholder.
Tinashe revealed that, the sum assured on the plan for the policyholder and spouse is unlimited and can be specified in accordance with their preferences, for parents and in-laws the sum assured up to maximum limit of N5 million Naira.
According to him, “This Leadway FBPP plan has other unique benefits including; payment of a sizable amount for entertainment expense in the event of any of the assured life named in the policy and additional monthly payment for six months in form of family income in the event of death of the Policyholder only. The plan also has a waiting period before any claim can be made, for policy holder and spouse its 6 months, while for parents and parents in-law its 9 months”.
Tinashe also explained that a Policyholder and the Spouse must be less than 65 years old to get enrolled on the plan while the maximum entry age for Parent/Parent-in Law on the policy is 75 years old. Stating that the policy runs as long as the Assured Lives are alive and subject to the Policyholder being alive.

As some of you may know , we already fought one county in Montana for trying to include vaping in the clean Indoor air act. There is already a law in Montana (SB66) that states vaping is not a tobacco product. The state of Montana decided NOT to include vaping in the clean Indoor air act. Ravalli County tried to make their own law to include vaping in the act. We fought them and they rescinded the ban. Now, Gallatin County went a step further and DID include vaping in the act. County officials cannot rewrite state laws. We requested a FOIA and found the county to be lying and deceiving. In emails, they've admitted to altering vape juice labels to portray toxicity and refusing help from vape shops to help keep the products out of the hands of children. We are suing Gallatin County because of this. If we win this lawsuit, it will set precedence for the entire nation! The funds donated will go directly to our attorney, Megan S. Winderl of Markette & Chouinard.

Version 6 of our Four Chairs Seasonal Espresso has to be one of the shortest run amongst all its predecessors. So we have started serving version 7 this week and this post will be a quick update of the changes to this seasonal espresso blend.
It has been an incredibly hectic start to the year. The first two months of the year focused a lot on our first participation at the national barista competition as well as our annual visit to Central America. In the midst of trying to get over our usual jet lag - that seems to only get worse every year, and a crazy week trying to catch up on our roasting, we are pleased to finally present you the latest iteration of the Four Chairs seasonal espresso blend.
Working with our Colombian friends at Banexport who helped us with the sourcing, this coffee from the cooperative ASOPEP really strikes a sweet spot with us on the cupping table. It is a mixed varietal of Castillo and Colombian and is a collective effort from 53 member producers making up the Co-op. It is a wet-processed coffee with vibrant passionfruit-like acidity and plenty of sugary content. Incredibly clean and juicy.
The other component is a mixed varietal, natural processed coffee from our friends at Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza in Brazil. We finally visited this amazing farm back in August last year. Silvia, Marcos and Felipe are firm believers of managing a farm that can produce great tasting coffees and yet sustainably responsible to the environment and the communities around the farm. All their hard work are reflected in the cup - clean, sweet with hints of pecan nuts and mild stone fruits acidity.
We love how these two coffees come together beautifully and hopefully you will enjoy it too! Available at S$19 (300g) in store and online.
The names of these farms might sound familiar as we had bought coffees from these farms last year. In 2013, we had the washed coffee from Finca San Jose and a pulp natural Javanica varietal from Finca El Limoncillo. During our trip to Central America earlier this year, we selected a pulp-natural (also known as semi-washed) processed lot from Finca San Jose and a washed Caturra varietal from Finca El Limoncillo. Despite facing more challenges in our sourcing this year due to the coffee rust, these are coffees which stood out on the cupping table this year and something different from these farms that we are really keen to showcase at Nylon.
For those who enjoy the current version of the Four Chairs seasonal espresso blend, expect similar characteristics - clean, balanced and sweet! There is plenty of fruits in the espresso - grapes, plums and blackcurrants. Lush viscous mouthfeel and the sweetness comes through with hints of cocoa in the finish. This is a well-structured espresso that we feel would work for an everyday cup.
The new Four Chairs is already available in store as well as on our web shop (SGD19/300g). For those who still want to catch the last few batches of the current version of Four Chairs, hurry down to Everton Park & grab a cuppa before it is all gone!

Merry Christmas! It is good to gather together in worship with all of you this Christmas morning. Perhaps it seems odd to speak of Christmas, as our Scripture passage today is in sharp contrast to the celebrations of the past week. On this fifth day of Christmas, we continue to sing of a Silent Night and the stillness in Bethlehem. As we wish for peace on Earth and goodwill to all, we imagine Joseph and Mary and Jesus settling in. New parents, far from home, sleep-deprived, and doing everything within their power to care for this incredibly tiny new person entrusted to their care.
But our text today reminds us that all was not silent. And while Mary might have had a moment to sigh and breathe in the scent of her newborn as she gathered him to her chest . . . that moment did not last long. After all, Mary and Joseph journeyed to Bethlehem because the Roman Emperor wished to register everyone in order to tax them.
The roads are filled with travelers, the guest rooms are packed . . . but no one wants to be there. For many this is unpaid time off combined with costly travel . . . all for the purpose of another tax padding the coffers of a foreign empire.
There is a reason that the people have been waiting and praying for a Messiah to free them from Roman occupation. The New Testament is filled with quiet stories of centurions and legions—indications that the Roman military presence is commonplace, that violent acts of power are ways of life. The hope of a Messiah was couched in what seemed a hopeless situation.
Finally Jesus—God enfleshed—is born in Bethlehem and laid in a manger . . . While Matthew gives us no angels or shepherds, we find a group of astrologers who follow a star and read the signs that a King has been born. At some point during Jesus’s early years these strangers arrive, bearing expensive gifts. Of course, their very journey has stirred political trouble.
And as soon as the astrologers leave, the nightmare begins. Joseph has a dream, and the family runs. Some, likely in an effort to make this passage palatable, talk about this passage as a story of Herod’s fear and the family’s faith. I don’t think there is any level of faith that allows you to wake up from a dream about brutalized babies, pack up your belongings and two-year-old son for a three hundred mile walk and not experience sheer terror. The holy family has become political refugees, leaving everything they know in order to survive. They are making a difficult journey into an unfamiliar place with different customs and different language. They run picturing the sword at every turn.
Herod is certainly acting out of fear—he has a long history of brutal actions used to gain and defend his crown. But while Jesus is protected from slaughter, children back in Bethlehem are not. In Bethlehem, babies are ripped from their mothers and murdered. New Testament scholar Alan Culpepper estimates that somewhere around twenty children were killed that day.
The Christmas story contains a pain so intense that even those beyond the grave cannot be comforted, because there is simply nothing—nothing—that makes this okay. It is a story of absolute hell thriving on earth. And this is a story that we cannot ignore—that we cannot skip over—because the hope of God is always, always mixed up with the desperate cries of a hurting people.
Rachel is still weeping today. She weeps in Nairobi, where poor parents dress their children as beautifully as they can, and place them in the street, hoping that someone with more resources will want them and take them in.
She weeps across the world as children are taken into slavery, stripped of their innocence, and used in the most vile ways imaginable.
She weeps as families are promised an education and dowry for their girls by factory owners who have no intention of keeping their promises, but merely want cheap labor for clothing sold to us here.
She weeps in Sudan and Gaza and Iraq and Jerusalem, in Myanmar, Thailand, and Guatemala. She weeps in St. Louis as a man named Richard sleeps outside in an alley on Christmas Eve.
She weeps as laws make it harder for the most vulnerable families to meet their basic needs. As guns and bombs and hate tear families and communities apart.
She weeps and cannot be consoled—and neither should we. Our voices should be joining with those experiencing pain and injustice in the world. We are surrounded by darkness—but today we lit the Christ candle, a symbol of God’s presence with us in full faith that the darkness did not and cannot overcome the light. We continue to speak the hope of the Gospel—that God broke into a hurting world and continues to break into the world of our hurt; that Christ came to announce freedom to the captive, release to the prisoner, sight to the blind, life to the lifeless.
A few weeks ago, in anticipation of this day, we shared this light with one another. In doing so, we proclaimed our role—to carry Christ’s light and illuminate the darkness, to join with God in the work of bringing the Kingdom of God here and now.
On this Christmas morning, we are invited to join with the pains of the world, to listen to the stories of anguish, to add our weeping.
At the same time, we are invited to sing—and I’ll admit that I wrestle with this tension. Because it IS tension, and who really wants that at any time of year, much less Christmas? But this is a passage without easy answers, without anything that lets us sigh too deeply with relief.
I believe we are called to sing, not in ignorance of a hurting world, but because the light of God, the love of God, is bursting forth. God wasn’t just in Egypt, but God was also in Bethlehem, holding mother and father and baby—and even soldier—in all of their brokenness. God is here today, entering into our world and our lives in new ways. God with us . . . God. Is. With. Us.

Surface Energy Balance Interface Software (SEBALIS) has been created using Visual Basic 6.0 program, which can simplify the existing system and the formulation, so as to minimize the use of software products that are commercially available. Specifically, the novel framework of SEBALIS facilitates data processing by reducing repetitive and complex tasks implemented with the ErMapper 7.1 software. The climate variables calculated in SEBALIS are always saved in such a way that they can be reprocessed using the ArcView GIS 3.3 software. The significance of this study lies in the combination of these tools is useful for obtaining information on the distribution of urban climate variables such as surface temperature (Ts), air temperature (Ta), net radiation (Rn), soil heat flux (G), latent heat flux (L), sensible heat flux (H), and evapotranspiration (Di)) for each land cover in urban areas. The scheme of SEBALIS is composed of Input Design, Structure of Input Output Data System, Output, User Interface, Menu Structure of Surface Energy Balance Model, and Software User Manual. The system output is capable of displaying spatial distribution map, map scale, and attribute information. The user interface contains five forms for Intro (splash screen), Load Data, MD1, Display, and Layer Symbol. The results of SEBALIS can be directly obtained in digital values, which can immediately be visualized in the software itself. For further analysis, the results of SEBALIS can be processed with ArcView GIS in the shapefile format. The benefits of this research for the reading community is able to understand design the interface software to simplify the manufacture of satellite data processing.

Laylat..., One Thousand and One Nights new creation proposes to continue the journey into the Oriental tales imagination. After Zenzela started with a show that has toured the world: Lebanon, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Spain, Switzerland. Laylat... is the moment of the imagination, of the exaltation of the soul and dreams, populated by djinn (spirits) and fantastic characters. It turns night of ecstasy (Laylat el Tarab), for the vigil (Laylat al Qadr), possession of night (Laylat el Zar) or night of love (Laylat el Hob).
Acclaimed in the ancient poetry, highlighted by the singers of the golden age from Oum Kalthoum to Mohamed Abdelwahab through Abdel Halim Hafez, nights eastern take part in the secular tradition of the Thousand and One Nights tales.
Through dances and music, Laylat... explores different facets of these festive evenings, contemplative or possessive. A meeting between oriental dance gestures and musical vibrations, colorful blend of violin and the oud, shared between the flute-ney ecstatic, the qanun (zither) and the frenzied percussion of all El Darbak..

Russia’s Arctic elite forces launch their first ever major exercise in the remote archipelago.
About 100 soldiers and 11 vehicles were put ashore as the «Kondopoga» landing vessel last week arrived in the Aleksandra island, one of the main islands in Russia’s northernmost archipelago. Next by was the «Vizir», the Northern Fleet’s hydrographic vessel, the Russian Navy informs.
It is the first time that the Russian Arctic Brigade engages in a major drill in the Franz Josef Land. In 2015, the Arctic elite forces were training in Kotelny in the New Siberian Islands, the Taimyr Peninsula and in Novaya Zemlya.
Among the vehicles applied in the exercise are armored personnel carriers BTR-82A, amphibious vehicles MT-LBV, snow and swamp-going vehicles, as well as trucks type KamAZ and Ural.
A key part of the exercise is the protection of the new military base on the island. That includes the local airfield and the 14,000 square meter big Arctic Trefoil, a housing and administration complex which can provide autonomous living for 150 people for up to 18 months.
On their way to the Alexandra Island, the soldiers conducted disembarking from helicopter at the island of Golomyanny in Severnaya Zemlya and on the coast of Cape Chelyuskin, a press release from the Northern Fleet informs.

Earl Weaver Baseball was a possible unreleased game by Electronic Arts.
A Chips & Bits advertisement from the May 1992 issue of Gamepro listed a title called "Weaver Baseball", which I assume is related to Earl Weaver Baseball II, which was released on DOS in 1991. It is possible that EA was planning a SNES release of this game.

You may use the file as it is intended to be used, which is to maintain homeschool records and to manage lesson plans.

Hawaii of anxiety ended up being skilled by anybody. Everyone understands our feeling. Anxiousness warns an individual about risk, a risk, as well as in this feeling have not a tiny value. Anxiousness resembles a sense like fear, because in both situations it really is a man or woman’s response to risk. But anyhow, each one of the feelings is seen as an its very own specificity. a particular degree of anxiety is an all natural and of good use function of a dynamic activity that is human. Each of us features its own level that is optimal of. There clearly was anxiety as a specific state of an individual in a particular time period, the alleged situational anxiety. Such anxiety is totally useful and normal for an individual. It assists a individual to focus while making the absolute most decision that is correct a particular situation.
There was a group of individuals whoever anxiety degree is quite high, and their anxiety is characterized as their individual trait. a higher degree of anxiety is just a danger to such individuals, their self-esteem and even life as a whole. Personal anxiety, getting together with the increased “situational” anxiety due to various stressors, leads to increased anxiety, growth of stress as well as other diseases that are psychosomatic.
Anxiousness is a person emotional feature manifested in an individual’s tendency to see anxiety that is severe insignificant occasions. Anxiousness is internally trained, and it is connected with outside items and then the level which they stimulate interior conflicts. Anxiousness, unlike fear, is a response to an imaginary threat and comes from concern with suspense. Its insidiousness is based on the known undeniable fact that it is sometimes not really aware; someone cannot realize the reason for their anxiety. Dating some body with despair and anxiety ensures that you constantly will face internal disputes of character. It could be become or repeated entirely constant. From the point that is physiological of, anxiety is just a reactive condition and results in changes that are physiological.
All of us, particularly in stressful circumstances, experiences anxiety. For many people, this state is short-term, that will be overcome quickly sufficient. But, for several of us, their state of anxiety is an unpleasant, suffering state, associated with unpleasant real feelings….

This is by far one of my favorite Christmas songs. The combination of the two songs and both Crosby and Bowie’s voices bring out the best of both worlds. Bowie’s higher range blended with Crosby’s lower tones creates a beautiful sound and create a new depth to the music. I feel that this is a very unique Christmas classic.
This track was originally recorded for Bing Crosby’s Merrie Olde Christmas television special in September of 1977. Sadly Bing Crosby passed away the next month and did not see the recording air on television.

As I’m sure many of you know, Camp Doll Diaries isn’t happening this year — and maybe never again. I always looked forward to camp starting in June, despite the fact that I never made many of the crafts. But I know a lot of you guys are avid crafters, and that with the loss of CDD, you’re maybe unsure of what to craft for your dolls this summer.
While I was writing the fourth entry for Mary-Jane’s Journal, my mom suggested a really great idea.
Why don’t we start our own camp?
And by “we,” I don’t just mean me, Loren — I wouldn’t be able to come up with enough crafts for even a month (Honestly, I don’t know how the Doll Diaries team was able to invent enough crafts to last the whole summer). I mean other doll bloggers.
Think of this: for one month this summer, multiple American Girl bloggers would help host a doll camp. Every blogger that assisted would run one week, picking a theme and posting crafts or photostories inspired by it.
Five days. Every blogger would only have to come up with enough content for five days. Then, on Saturday, everyone that made the blogger’s camp crafts could send in pictures and have them posted on the site.
I think this is a great idea. True, it won’t be nearly as grand as Camp Doll Diaries always was, but I think it’s worth a shot.
If you’re interested in hosting a week, please email me at [email protected]. But I might not be able to let everyone who wanted a week have one. And if you have ideas for themes, leave those in the comments. I’m guessing that, if I have enough support, we’ll be doing this camp in August. That would give everyone enough time to come up with crafts to post. And if I get more interest than expected, we might be able to extend this camp, starting it in mid July!
I really only need four bloggers to sign up — I’ll be doing the first week of camp. But, like I said before, the more people who sign up, the longer this doll camp will be!
It’s that time again . . . I have to apologize for something . . .
I really don’t like apologizing. Apologizing is admitting that you’re wrong, and I dislike being wrong more than apologizing. But, here goes . . .
I’m sorry that I disappeared from the internet for, like, a week (actually, it’s been exactly a week since I’ve posted), but I’m back now :) Back from my unofficial break . . . Unofficial breaks are kind of relaxing and kind of make you feel guilty.
Well, I’ve got last week’s Life at Camp. Two days late . . . Better late than never, right?
Caroline dressed up as the Greek goddess Aphrodite and asked for a photoshoot. The poor thing needs more attention . . .
Make sure you vote TODAY, because whoever has the most votes tomorrow (Wednesday) morning when I wake up (about 10:30-ish) will be the winner.
I waited for the Fourth of July Parade to start, fiddling nervously with my American Heritage Girls vest. As Miss American Girl (I’d been voted that for being most patriotic), I was going to lead the parade. And I was shaking in my shiny black Mary Jane’s just thinking about it.
Be like Emily, I told myself. She’d love to lead a parade!
But I couldn’t convince myself to be like Emily, and I couldn’t convince myself that nothing bad would happen.
“I can tell that you’re, like, totally nervous, ’cause you’re leading the parade. Well, I led a parade, too, once, back in New Mexico,” she told me. She lowered her voice. “I was super scared that I would mess up. I was riding Picasso — Mimi’s horse, remember? — and I was supposed to do this scarf trick. And you know what? I did it! And nothing bad happened. Molly, everything will be OK.” Saige smiled reassuringly at me.
She ran a brush through her horse’s already perfect mane. “I’ll need it!” she replied. “Luna’s never been in a parade before.” Saige tossed the brush aside and swung into Hermosa Luna’s saddle.
I took my place at the front of the procession and the parade began.
Kids gasped in delight when Saige and Hermosa Luna pranced by. They were a great team, the confident cowgirl astride her dazzling white horse.
The parade started in the old section of town where MJ, on the last float, played her violin (which she was calling her fiddle) and sang The Star Spangled Banner and other patriotic songs.
I didn’t really know why Emily was up on a float at a Fourth of July parade — she wasn’t even American!
We reached downtown, the halfway point. I stood straighter and smiled brighter. I hadn’t dropped the flag or done anything else that would ruin the parade!
MJ put her fiddle away and let loose a very energetic version of Katy Perry’s Firework.
Back at camp, an American flag had been set up as a backdrop at the photobooth.
P.S. MJ’s birthday was July 3rd.
For Bakery Battles week at Camp Doll Diaries, we decided to do something a little different. Since I was the only baker at camp, there wouldn’t be any competition for me. And nobody except Caroline really knew how to bake, so I offered to teach everyone.
We gathered at a table in the kitchen, where the supplies were already laid out. I counted my students — one, two, three, four, five — and frowned. Saige, Isabelle, and Savannah were missing. Shrugging, I flipped through my cookbook. They’d turn up eventually.
My students leaned in and gazed at the picture, licking their lips.
“Oh . . .” I glanced at the recipe. There was no way we could make it without peanut butter. “You can help us cook it, right?” A nod. “You and I can make brownies later,” I promised.
Handing the cookbook to Molly, who started reading aloud, I showed Ivy how much peanut butter to put in the red mixing bowl.
After Tracy had added the chocolate syrup to the concoction and Caroline had spooned in coco powder, the missing pupils dashed into the room. I found it odd that they were all wearing gray bottoms and ponytails. Not to mention that they were eying all of us suspiciously.
“Sorry we’re late.” Saige and her friends took a spot at the end of the table. “We were, uh, using the bathroom.” Savannah and Isabelle nodded.
Emily plopped a spoonful of Nutella into the mix, then licked the spoon clean. “Here.” She slid the bowl across the table to Isabelle. “You can stir,” she offered.
Isabelle wrapped her fingers around the spoon and stirred. Stirring was one of my favorite things about baking. Watching all the ingredients blend together to create a dough or filling or something else . . .
“We’re making Peanut Butter and Chocolate Dome Cake,” Caroline whispered to Izzy. The ballerina, still stirring, relayed the information to Saige and Savannah.
Once the batter was ready and Saige had smoothed it out with the back of the spoon, I demonstrated how to arrange Nilla Wafers into a dome, the bottoms of the cookies stuck into the dough. Savannah understood immediately and, in the less than a minute, was done.
Before I put the food in the oven, I added the finishing touch: chocolate syrup drizzled over the cookies. Then I carefully picked the bowl up, making sure not to knock over the dome, and set it in the oven.
While everyone chatted and sniffed the air, which was beginning to smell like chocolate and peanut butter, I chewed on my lip and reread the recipe. I’d never made a Peanut Butter and Chocolate Dome Cake before, but my friends didn’t know that. What if it didn’t taste good? What if the cookies burned? Everyone would think I was a horrible baker, and while I’d hardly done any of the cooking, I’d helped each camper add an ingredient, which meant that if the treat was disgusting, it would be mostly my fault . . .
The timer dinged: “Miss Valdez, come check your food!” I raced over to the oven, but before I threw open the door, I squeezed my eyes shut. I didn’t want to see what the dome cake looked like. Slipping my hands into oven mitts, I pulled the cake out and walked back to the table. A round of gasps reached my ears as I set it down. But what kind of gasp is it? I wondered. It could be one of delight or one of horror.
Nervous, I opened one eye, then the other, fixed them on the food, and gasped.
It was a gasp of delight. For in the bowl before me was a tower of beautiful, giant cookies.
“Are they supposed to look like that?” asked Emily, a line of drool making its way down her chin.
I snatched my cookbook up from the table and stared at the page. The picture showed a Peanut Butter and Chocolate Dome Cake, the Nilla Wafers coated in dark syrup, chocolate peanut butter filling peeking out from between the cookies. I shot a look at the treats in the bowl, comparing them with the picture. Nope. They definitely weren’t supposed to look like that. I shook my head.
The bowl was passed around the table and each girl took one cookie from it.
“On three,” I said, scooping my cookie off the tabletop.
And then I happened to glance to my right and saw that Ivy had taken her cookie apart.
“Wow!” I exclaimed, leaning over it. This was a great opportunity to study the food. “It looks like the chocolate syrup completely covered the Nilla Wafers, turning them that dark brown color, and the reason it’s not wet is because the syrup hardened in the oven. And the filling . . . half is peanut butter, the other half is Nutella and coco powder.
I, along with everyone else (except for Molly, who remembered that she had a peanut allergy), raised a cookie to my lips and took a bite. And it was wonderful.
P.S. The theme at Camp Doll Diaries this week is Picnics, Parades and Patriotism! (Fourth of July stuff.) Vote for the doll that will tell this week’s Life at Camp!
P.P.S. The last What’s Up Wednesday is on July first!
P.P.P.P.S. This is the last P.S. Promise.
P.P.P.P.P.S. Oops. It appears my fingers were crossed.
Off to Camp Doll Diaries!
It’s June 1, and I bet that all of you know what that means: Camp Doll Diaries! My dolls have been talking nonstop about all the fun and adventures they’ve had in previous years, and everyone was ready to go to camp last month! Before I show you what the dolls’ first day of camp held, here’s the winner of Who Wore it Best . . .
Savannah won by a landslide, with 27 votes total!
What do you think — should I do more Who Wore it Best posts?
OK, on to the photostory!
I sat forlornly on Ivy’s bed, watching as my adopted family rushed around, finishing their packing for Camp Doll Diaries. Stories about camp had been shared at dinnertime since April, and everyone was super-excited to go.
Sure, camp sounded great and all, but I was a little nervous. Who would my counselor be? Who would be in my cabin? What kind of activities would we do?
I had finished packing first, so the only thing I could do was sit around. I’d offered to help my sisters, but I couldn’t really help them pack. I didn’t know what they wanted to bring or where the items were.
Emily was putting her scrapbook in the bag she and Molly were sharing; Molly was groping around in her bed, searching for her old doll; Caroline was on the floor, cuddling the little Siamese cat that didn’t have a name; Ivy was sorting out which books she was going to take.
Ivy grabbed The Lightning Thief and placed it in her bag. With nothing else to do, I studied it. It was a white tote bag with the image of a smiling sun and the words “Camp Doll Diaries 2013” on it.
“That’s a cool bag, Ivy,” I commented, hoping to start a conversation.
“Thanks,” she replied, “but it’s not mine. It’s Tracy’s. She just let me borrow it for my books.” Ivy shoved the rest of her precious stories into the bag and zipped off.
Apparently talking to someone while they are packing is not really possible.
“Speaking of Tracy, has anyone seen her or MJ?” I asked the rest of my family.
Saige ran up the stairs and stopped in front of me, the sounds of Isabelle shouting about jewelry drifting after her.
Finally all the packing was done, and after some very touching good byes to pets, we all went to the bus stop.
A special bus was waiting there: the Camp Doll Diaries Shuttle Bus. We all boarded and were on our way to camp.
My stomach was already filled with nervous butterflies, and it didn’t help that the bus driver, who didn’t like kids, ran over every pothole and swerved back and forth and slammed on the brakes on purpose.
We headed toward the registration desk, but stopped when we saw who was stationed behind it: Tracy and MJ.
“Something like that,” MJ said with a sly smile.
I wondered what they were up to. Nobody in their right mind would trust MJ and Tracy to do an important job.
“A better question is: why are you wearing a hat in June?” Tracy replied.
Caroline stepped up and passed a stack of papers to Tracy, who handed them to MJ.
MJ took the papers from her best friend and scanned them lightning fast. “Please make a line,” she called out.
I was right next to the table, and Ivy was directly behind me, so the other girls stood single-file behind us.
“Fill out one of these,” Tracy instructed, tapping a pile of papers titled “Camp Doll Diaries Camper Information.” I picked up a pencil and quickly dashed out some answers.
I slid the paper across the table to Tracy and moved on to the next station, where I signed in. There were two lines for each camper — you wrote your name on one, and your cabin name on the other. But I didn’t know what cabin I was in, so after I’d written my name, I touched the second line and looked quizzically at Tracy.
Tracy nodded and turned back to me.
“You’re going to be in the Fire Frogs cabin,” she told me.
I wrote the information down and moved on.
Markers and blank name tags were set up at the last station. Each name tag was strung on a different color of thread, and I picked a light blue one. There were three lines on the tag, but nothing told me what to write on each one, so I asked MJ.
A tiny wistful sigh escaped me as I watched those three. They were so relaxed around each other.
They’re the original trio, I reminded myself. They’d been around each other for a very long time.
I finished my name tag, making sure to write that I was a first year camper, and waited for everyone else to finish registering.
After Molly and Emily, the last in line, had joined the group of campers walking around in a slow circle because they had nothing else to do, MJ and Tracy skipped out from behind their desk, wearing name tags. Name tags that had the word counselor on them.
“Counselor?! Explain yourselves!” Emily demanded.
We stared in shock as MJ and Tracy continued to act like counselors, reading off of Camp Doll Diaries Rosters.
The Lil’ Rainbows girls on the right, the Fire Frogs on the left, our counselors lead us on a tour of camp.
It had just started to rain when we arrived at the cabin area.
MJ’s group rushed into their cabin and picked beds.
The rest of us followed Tracy into the Fire Frogs cabin. While our cabin didn’t have bunk beds and the bedding didn’t match, there was an open space that would be perfect for mini performances a turning cartwheels.
We were going to have a campfire, but our counselors canceled it because of the rain. The promised that we would have one tomorrow if the weather was nice, and MJ offered to play her violin for us.
We all picked beds and unpacked some personal items.
As I started to fall asleep, I reflected on my day. At first I had been nervous about going to camp, but now, even though I’d only had one day at Camp Doll Diaries, I was sure I’d be looking forward to going next year. Only one thing annoyed me: that fact that Tracy could tell me to go to bed and I’d have to.
I thought about my best friend Cass. Perhaps she would be living with us by next summer, and I, a seasoned second year camper, would be able to tell her all about camp and give her a tour.
I fell asleep, dreaming about all the fun I’d have at Camp Doll Diaries.
I’ve had a bunch of pictures floating around on my mom’s computer, and I just wanted to do something with them, so here they are!
Saige’s Christmas picture from 2013.
Saige posing with some fake flowers at my church.
A picture from an unfinished follow-up to *this* Camp Doll Diaries photostory.
My mom gave me a tiny doll-sized snowman-building thingy! Caroline decided to build it. All the pieces it came with are spread out on the table.
Two body parts and the arms, done!
Ivy’s Fourth of July outfit.
I played around with it on Picasa a bit.
And now, to wrap this post up, a mini-photoshoot of Caroline!

I got engaged earlier this year and am busy planning my wedding for next year. If you are in a similar position and are anything like me then you probably like to think through the details. If that’s the case, then you may have had a thought about what is best to do for that unwanted hair, not just for the wedding day, but the wedding night and the honeymoon too! No one wants to have to shave or wax on their honeymoon, do they!?
Laser hair removal is ideal for this because if you have completed your full course of treatments you will definitely be completely hair free and if you have not completed your whole course of treatments, then you can have one of your appointments about a week before your wedding, this should keep you hair free until the end of the honeymoon.
You generally need about six treatments to complete a full course and you need a gap of 6 weeks between appointments so the best time to start your laser hair treatments is about 10 months before your wedding! I know this seems like a lot but it is just one short appointment every 6 weeks during this time, and that will wrap it up with a few weeks to spare before your wedding when you don’t want to be thinking about hair removal. It seems with weddings you have to plan even the tiniest details months and months in advance!
What body parts you want to treat does vary from person to person but a simple package that you can’t go wrong with is the underarms, bikini line and lower legs. If you have other hairier areas like facial hair, arms or upper legs then of course you can get this done at the same time.
Tips – The other important reason to complete your treatment before the honeymoon is you can’t have a treatment on a tan and you would have to wait a few months before being able to continue. Also remember not to have an appointment the day of or too close to the wedding as you can be a little red and sore following your appointment and it takes a few days for the hair to fall out! This is the opposite than want you want to achieve! Lastly if the husband-to-be also has some excess, unwanted hair why not get him in too!
Good luck with the wedding plans! If you do want to get laser hair removal for your wedding then mention that you are a bride-to-be and a nice package may be able to be made for you.

in the 2009 Inter-Provincial Twenty20 tournament's semi-finals Wayamba beat Ruhuna in the bowl-out to reach the finals?
A bowl-out (sometimes termed a bowl-off) is used in various forms of limited overs cricket to decide a match that would otherwise end in a tie. The procedure is similar to a penalty shootout in association football. Five bowlers from each side deliver one or two balls each at an unguarded wicket (three stumps). If each team has hit the same number of wickets after the first five bowlers per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death.
A bowl-out was first used in the NatWest Trophy in June 1991 in a match between Derbyshire and Minor County side Hertfordshire at Bishops Stortford. Derbyshire bowled first and Steve Goldsmith managed one hit from his two deliveries. Ole Mortensen, Alan Warner, Frank Griffiths and Simon Base all missed with both of theirs. Hertfordshire's first bowler, Andy Needham, hit with his first ball but missed with his second. John Carr, missed with both his, Bill Merry, struck middle with his second attempt to win the match.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) introduced the bowl-out should scores be tied in the semifinals and final of the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy or the 2007 Cricket World Cup, although it was not required to be used in either tournament. At the ICC Annual Conference 2008 it was decided that the bowl-out should be replaced by a one-over "eliminator" (also called a "Super Over") in the 2008 ICC Champions Trophy (since postponed) and the 2009 ICC World Twenty20.
Up until the introduction of the "Super-Over" in International Twenty20 cricket, if a match ended with the scores level (either because both teams reached the same score after 20 overs, or the second team fell one run short of the target score under the Duckworth-Lewis method), the tie was broken with a bowl-out. The first international bowl-out in a Twenty20 match took place on 16 February 2006, when New Zealand beat West Indies 3-0 in Auckland. A bowl-out was also used on 14 September 2007 when India beat Pakistan 3-0 during the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 in Durban, South Africa.
A bowl-out was first used to decide a domestic Twenty20 match when Surrey beat Warwickshire in July 2005.
In some forms of domestic one-day cricket competition, a bowl-out is used to decide the result when the match is tied or rained out: for example, the quarterfinal of the Minor Counties Cricket Association Knockout Trophy in 2004, when Northumberland beat Cambridgeshire 4-2. In the 2009 Twenty20 Cup, Somerset beat Lancashire 5-1 to reach the semi-final stage.

Anxiety and depression are often under diagnosed and undertreated in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The reality, however, is that COPD and depression often go hand-in-hand. World Health Day is April 7, and mental health is just as important as physical health. In honor of that, we are shedding some light on a topic that too often gets brushed under the rug: COPD and depression.
Q: How do I know if I’m depressed?
If you are feeling these symptoms, it’s ok; you’re not alone. In fact, a study found that COPD patients are 85 percent more likely to experience anxiety than those without COPD.
Q: What do I do if I’m depressed?
A: You have to get help. If you think you might be depressed, immediately seek the help of a professional who can help you to start feeling better again. The first step is telling your primary care provider that you’re experiencing feelings of depression or anxiety. Your doctor is a great resource and may be able to give you some recommendations on who to talk to. You can also try searching online; however, it’s best to speak with your doctor first for a recommendation because sifting through a sea of doctors’ names online can be an overwhelming and frustrating experience. Start with someone you know and trust who can guide you in the right direction.
Perhaps starting talk therapy with a mental health professional or trying out an antidepressant medication as prescribed by your doctor will help to alleviate some of your feelings of depression. It’s important to always take your medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor and to talk with your doctor openly about how you’re feeling. Your doctor can be a great resource for you and can assist you in finding the help you need for COPD and depression.
Q: How do I tell my friends and family?
A: Telling someone takes great strength. Not all people with COPD smoked; however, for those who have smoked at some point in their lives, feelings of guilt and shame can be common. Those feelings are a heavy burden to carry, and when left unaddressed, can culminate into depression and anxiety. Sometimes, sharing your feelings with someone close to you can help alleviate the load that you’ve been carrying. Oftentimes, we don’t realize how heavy it is until we start to feel some relief. Isolation fuels depression. Telling someone is a great first step in starting to feel better.
Try speaking with someone that you are close with and trust. You might consider prefacing the conversation by saying that you just need them to listen, and that you don’t expect them to have all of the answers.
Q: How do I get better with COPD and depression?
A: Take small steps. Be patient with yourself. COPD and depression take a long time to develop, and just the same, it’s going to take time to alleviate the associated feelings of COPD and depression and anxiety. In addition to seeking professional help, there are things that you can do at home to feel better, too. Let’s take a look at a few things that have helped others in similar situations.
Get moving. There is nothing more powerful than exercise. It is therapeutic for your body and your mind. We know it can be difficult when you have COPD and are already struggling to breathe. But exercising is one of the best things that you can do for both your COPD and depression. It strengthens your lungs, helping you to breathe easier. It also pumps more oxygen into your brain and releases endorphins, reducing stress and improving your mood. You don’t have to go all out to start. Try walking in place while you watch TV or going for a walk around the block. Anything that you do is a step in the right direction, and don’t forget to reward yourself for taking a step toward better physical and mental health.
Eat mood-boosting food. Avoid foods that trigger stress and depression, including caffeine, alcohol, trans fat, sugar and refined carbs. Rather, shoot for foods that haven’t been processed, like fruits and vegetables, and foods that are rich in omega-3s, which is great for your brain. Some omega-3 rich foods include: seafood, flaxseed oil, chia seeds, soybeans and spinach. Not sure what to eat? Download our recipe guide filled with great lung-healthy recipes.
Find new ways to connect with the world around you. Oftentimes when we feel sad, we isolate ourselves from the world around us. Feeling that connection again can be extremely therapeutic. Try going for a walk to get in touch with nature, care for a pet, volunteer, invite a friend to lunch or try out a new hobby. It won’t be easy at first, but the more you get out there, the easier it gets.
This World Health Day, consider taking charge of your COPD and depression. It isn’t easy, but you’re not alone. We wish you the best, and encourage you to leave your comments below on what has helped you to feel better as you navigate this difficult disease. If you’re interested in learning more about how cellular therapy has helped many people with COPD, please contact us.

It’s an unfortunate truth in society today: half of all children will go through the break-up of their family, and their parent’s divorce. Though it’s obviously not God’s ideal, it does happen, and needs to be approached with grace from those on the outside, as well as those on the inside. One of the biggest mistakes parents make while going through a divorce is leaving their child out of the conversation. They have suffered a loss as well, are grieving as well, and need someone to work through it with them.
So, how do you talk to your child about your divorce?
They need to talk about it. But, your children will never be the first to bring it up. They are aware of the pain that surrounds the situation and are putting on a brave face for the simple fact that they love you. As a parent, it’s your job to discuss the tough issues no matter how difficult. So, bring it up. Ask how they feel about it. Continue with questions until the conversation is exhausted, paying attention to body language that might suggest they are hiding how they truly feel. They need to get it off of their chest.
Don’t limit them during the discussion. No matter their age, they have a right to understand as much as they want to. They have been hurt, and deserve to have their questions answered if at all possible. If there are tough reasons behind the end of your marriage, be prepared to give a thoughtful answer that is at their level of understanding. Showing them that they have a right to ask about it will alleviate fear and anxiety, and make them see that their feelings matter.
There’s nothing wrong with showing weakness to your child. If you are in pain, it’s okay to express that. The entire family is going through a huge loss. Don’t pretend to have it all together if you are struggling, while keeping in mind that your child is not your therapist. It’s fine to tell your child that you are sad about the divorce, that you wish things had happened differently, and any other things you may be feeling that could build a common bond between you, as you grieve this loss together.
Regardless of the reasons for your divorce, your children have been hurt through no fault of their own. And like any situation where we are hurt by someone, regardless of whether the hurt was intended or not, an apology can begin the healing process. Apologize to your child for the situation they find themselves in and encourage them to express their anger or fear over being hurt.
Don’t make life decisions moving forward that completely exclude your child. Of course, you are the parent and will have the ultimate decision in where you now live, if you move onto another relationship, etc. But, give your child a voice. Ask how they feel and what they think about any plans moving forward that mean changes for them. Even if you can’t fix their feelings, the fact that you respect them will go a long way.
While talking to your child about your divorce is never easy, it can be a bonding moment in which you begin to express your shared grief, open up your hearts to each other, and build understanding. Your child was an integral part of the prior family unit and deserves the same respect you would want if major life changes were on your horizon.
How do you think talking about divorce with your child can begin to heal your child? Please share what you think about this real yet difficult topic.

In Headley And Mistakenly Filled Up With The Wrong Fuel And Need Recovery?
If you’re stuck with the Wrong Fuel in Headley call us now!
Our Fully Licensed Technicians are locally based in Headley, Hampshire and can be with you within 30 minutes.
We got a call from a really unhappy young lady whose mum’s Hyundai I30 had stopped on the main road, Headley because she had put the wrong fuel in at the petrol station. “We were just driving away from the filling station when we heard some odd noises and chugging sensations. It’s then I realised it was me who had put unleaded petrol in by mistake”. One of our fuel technician’s in Headley was sent who drained the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the engine thoroughly. “Amazing job, well needed, panic over. Thank you”.
Have you been putting the wrong fuel in Headley? Petrol in a diesel?
A Beautician from Headley was baffled as to why her new Vauxhall Corsa didn’t want to start again. She had just done a morning shift before she popped out to fill up before the next big stint. She phoned her partner wondering about what the problem could be. He immediately said you haven’t filled up with the wrong fuel have you. She instantly knew that was what she had done; she’d put petrol in a diesel car by mistake. Her last car was a petrol so she just did as normal not thinking she was in the new car. She found our details and made the call. Our technician was out promptly, drained all the fuel and got the lovely customers car back up and running again.
A senior lady rang us up stuck near the centre of Headley in a complete panic – she’d misfuelled her daughter’s Mini Cooper, she had put petrol in a diesel. She spoke to one of our advisers and we calmly assured her that we would send a technician immediately. Our technician drained the wrong fuel and tested the car ensuring perfect working order and got the lady on the road again. Wrong Fuel Help are always here to help.

Jungle Fables/Poemas de la Jungla. published by ArtesMiami's Editorial Ultramar in 2018, is a book that enacts the old conflict of Vice and Virtue, but in poetry rhymes. Felines speak eloquently about the old dilemma; right or wrong? Leopards, lions, elephants, monkeys, panthers and even peacocks are all in search of answers. They might not find them, but their poetic interaction finds us very entertained. The new version of this book includes new sonnets and illustrations by Chilean-American poet-artist Gustavo Novoa. The book can be enjoyed by both children and adults. The books is available for sale for $20 on this website and at Books and Books.
The editorial division of ArtesMiami, Editorial Ultramar, presented in April 2018, the new poetry book by Lilliam Moro, an award-winning Cuban-American poet. El Silencio y la Furia, published by Ultramar in Spanish on March 21st, at 8 p.m., was featured at a reading at the Coral Gables Books and Books, 265 Aragon Avenue. The book is now available for sale at Books and Books, for only $10 and also through this website.
The Poetry Book of the Year according to New Times Miami “Sopa de pollo, Vivaporub on the chest,Bye-Bye Catarro”.
Poetry is alive and well thanks to the Miami- based non-profit publishing organization Editorial Ultramar. La Ciudad de la Unidad Posible (Miami, 2009), is a diverse collection of South Florida Spanish- language poetry. The title of the book is inspired by a phrase from Espacio, a poem in prose by Juan Ramún Jiménez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. With this phrase, Jimé nez described the Miami of the 1940s.
"Poesía Viva" is the second poetry book by Rodrigo de la Luz, a Cuban-American poet who resides in Miami. Announced since 2003, this book reveals the most notable qualities of this writer: his vital anguish, as well as his tragic and simultaneously ironic sense of life.
