Here is an opportunity for ethics from a different culture to be implemented in modernity. We all make mistakes - none of us are perfect. Ergo, we should be ready to apologise, and not make a big deal of it. Sincere apology would help us grow, and accept our own fallibility. It would also help us reduce our ego and pride. Perhaps it will create an inner sense of self-esteem rather than a false insecure arrogance. Sorry, I didnt mean to say that. It just came out.

I am a regular contributor to this station and also an advisor and provider of news information and contracts. It is a national radio station broadcast on Digital Radio and on-line and they do a weekly Gujarati programme by Dev Parmar on Wednesday evenings. I was interviewed last Wednesday 15th Nov on the subject of the Queens Speech to Parliament, the Legacy of Tony Blair and Terrorism in Britain. I gave a Gujarati angle to the responses, and was very pleased to receive a call from a local elder and resident who heard me and said how authentic my responses were and how true. I have sent them more ideas for stories for this week and contacts - listen out on Wednesday, and if you miss it, you can catch it on-line.

Many people in the area have shown interest in learning about India and its culture and beliefs in a systematic way - something which is not offered locally anywhere. I have created this series especially for you all, and will deliver it in a varied and entertaining way, packed with my usual enthusiasm for the subject. I hope that you will sign up promptly so that we can create a positive group atmosphere which embarks on this pilgrimage to India together and have fun along the way.

"If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India"

Yoga, Indian Food, Bindi, Bollywood, Diwali are just some of the ways India is trickling into people's lives in Britain. It is a vast and fascinating country, with thousands of years of history, over hundred major languages, and offering some of the best hospitality on this planet. However, it is also a complex culture, not easy to understand. Colchester resident Dr. Atul Shah, Chief Executive of Diverse Ethics Ltd. has compiled this series of seminars especially for the large number of people in this region who have expressed interest in learning about India. He is a writer, broadcaster, lecturer and community leader who has a strong grasp of both Indian and British culture and is an excellent communicator. Dr. Shah is an advisor to the BBC on Religion and Ethics and has contributed to a number of programmes on Radio 4 and World Service.

Culture begins at home – and here in the
Speaking about the tour, Mr. Rayson commented: "The tour has given me a great insight into Hinduism and its communities. What I saw and experienced was the power and joy of different communities coming together to share experiences." Ms. Kett added: "I have attended many courses on Diversity, but to see it live and experience it is a unique memorable experience. I enjoyed the hospitality and feel that when communities are so well organised, they do not become a burden on the state and instead add value to
"There is a huge attention given to faith and intolerance in the media today. I am keen to build bridges and encourage businesses and public organisations to experience the beauty of diversity first hand. This is a practical way of making a real difference to people's lives and understanding," said tour organiser Dr. Atul Shah of www.diverseethics.com
The award winning Mercury Theatre in Colchester were very honest when I approached them to help with Diversity. "We want to work on it, but do not know how to begin," said Dee Evans, Chief Executive. I invited her to our Hindu Navratri festival and she had a very positive experience. We requested her to address the audience and tell them about Mercury Theatre. She explained that she had a wonderful time to experience the Navratri and join in the dancing (so did Roger, who is an actor) and wanted to invite everyone to the theatre to see a play. I presented her with a copyof a famous play 'The Post Office' by Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Laureate, and requested her to consider it as a Mercury Production. Thus began their journed into Diversity in October.
In November, they sent out invitations on their current production 'Our Country' s Good' to members of the community by way of a personal letter from Dee Evans. The community was very touched by this gesture. Thus began a chapter in attracting Diverse audiences and building bridges and breaking ghettos. Diverse Ethics gave detailed feedback on the play and the experience of breaking new ground. Theatre has a huge potential in building bridges, but it will take time and will require patience and perseverance.
One day, I got a call from a staff member asking me if I could find a Henna painter for one of their actresses as part of a photo shoot. I phoned around, and found someone who was able to go at short notice and provided splendid voluntary support, for which Mercury was very pleased. Sally King wrote: "The design was really very beautiful. Thank you for your prompt and accurate service for a rare request!" This is an example of how Diverse Ethics is making small differences in big ways.

Diwali is increasingly popular in Britain. The Lord Mayor of London, Mr. Ken Livingston organised his fifth annual Diwali party for Londoners at Trafalgar Square and it was a massive success. Even in our own small town of Colchester, Diwali was a big hit and we celebrated it at School (through an assembly for infants at Prettygate School), with the community (through an Ankut gathering at the local school) and at home, through a Diwali party for our children's friends.
This year, I decided to focus on the subject of offering and hospitality, a value which is capable of Universal appeal. Some of my British friends have honestly told me that they are bad at hospitality and really need to learn how to receive others and welcome them and provide for their welfare. I spoke on Indian hospitality and how its central message of sharing is replicable and truly does not lead to loss but to gain and strength. At Prettygate Infants school, I gave the example of candles and how when we light one candle with another, the first candle does not lost its light, but spreads it. This is what all children are - lights capable of spreading. The role of teachers is to spark this inner light.
Headteacher of Prettygate Infants, Mrs. Jackson said - "The Diwali Party which your family helped organise was the best ever event in our school, and this assembly also shows how the message of Diwali is Universal. When your seven year old son Meerav did the assembly, he inspired other children to be bold and to share their culture with others. Thank you very much."
What do you get when you mix various cultures, leadership experts and bring them together at a beautiful new oasis of hope in Central London? A new vision for the future which respects, integrates and empowers each and every person.
This is what resulted at a seminar at St. Ethelburgas in London on the subject of Leadership, Faith and Diversity on 12th October 2006. Speakers Shilpa Unalkat (www.staflow.com) and Lynne Sedgmore (www.centreforexcellence.org.uk) brought together their unique experience of working with and coaching leaders from the commercial and public sector to inspire the audience. Leaders from all over London and afar came together to discuss and debate the future direction of leadership. There was an optimism about the future, an acknowledgment of the uncertainty, and a commitment to wholeness and holistic approaches to leadership. Chair and organiser of the seminar Dr. Atul Shah, Chief Executive of Diverse Ethics (www.diverseethics.com), explained at the end: "No longer is leadership based on command and control sustainable in this day and age. Each and every worker needs to be respected and given space to share and participate in the whole organisation." Drs. David and Cynthia Capey, Leaders of Suffolk Inter-Faith and inventors of a major new game on Diversity explained that there is a very rich resource of diversity which already exists within workplaces, but it is untapped because nobody talks about faith.
St. Ethelburgas is a unique new Centre for Peace and Reconciliation a few minutes walk from Liverpool St. station and in the very heart of the City. Regular and inspiring events of this type are held there which are open to all – for details visit www.stethelburgas.org

There is a demand for people in Schools and institutions which are trying actively to get diverse representatives from different communities. The government needs to invest resources in training such people and motivating them to get involved. Also the mainstream community need to understand and give space to such people and help them become more involved citizens.

For community cohesion, we need communities. The Hindus and Jains try hard to build and sustain communities involving young and old alike, but mostly off their own efforts and with little direct support from the government. And they are generally law abiding citizens who save a huge amount of money for the government by not depending on welfare. Also we have a healthy lifestyle with good mental and physical health and strong family support networks. Unfortunately however, in the mainstream, communities are breaking apart. Few participate in churches or any sort of local communal activity. Young parents are busy working full time with little time even for their families – let alone community. Many don't even know their neighbours and don't think they need to know them. And therin lies the problem. It is a direct result of materialism and the lack of spiritual and ethical values in modern society. It is also a result of the spread of greed and big business which have directly broken communities and removed relationships of trust and loyalty. Clearly, this is not an easy nut to crack for the Home Office. However, it needs to look at root causes of social break-up and alienation if there is to be peaceful social co-existence in Britain. The young Muslim terrorists feel alienated and lost and become susceptible to such violent actions through their ignorance and vulnerability. Setting a Commission is a first step, but its eyes and ambitions must be for the long term.


text: The Drawing Center presents an enhanced version of an exhibition originally on view at Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (mima), UK in 2009. This presentation is comprised of approximately 50 graphite, watercolor, and ink on paper drawings made by Gerhard Richter (b. 1932, Dresden, Germany) over a period of five decades from 1966 to 2005. Although Richter is most celebrated as a painter, this exhibition focuses on the artist's works on paper and explores his complex personal relationship with drawing. The first of its kind in the U.S., the exhibition will also be Richter's first solo show in a public institution in New York since 40 Years of Painting at The Museum of Modern Art (2002).

Spaces might not be a familiar name yet, but he's certainly attracted the ears of the right people.
Last year Spaces – otherwise known as Irish producer John Flynn – released his debut EP on the Bleep store's in-house record label. A four-track collection of tunes with rhythmic nods to the early IDM of Warp artists Autechre and Squarepusher, its brisk, colourful textures owed just as much to classic Detroit electro.
Prior to that his music found a early fan in Björk. When Vulnicura was announced last month, a hand-written note from the artist revealed that as well as the involvement of Arca and The Haxan Cloak, one of the songs had been co-written with Flynn, who Björk had approached back in 2013 to work on album closer 'Quicksand'.
Those whose interest was piqued by the track can now get to know Spaces a little more intimately with a free EP from the producer. Available to download or stream below, the four-track Potential is another trip through juddering machine-funk and driving rhythms in the vein of his debut, and should set you up nicely for the producer's second EP on Bleep to be released soon. Look out also for a mooted debut album and live show hitting clubs and festivals later this year.

A suicide bomber attacked a park in northern Baghdad crowded by cafe and restaurant-goers on Friday night, the bloodiest attack in a day of violence that killed at least 36 people across the country, authorities said.
Attacks have been on the rise in Iraq since a deadly security crackdown in April on a Sunni protest camp. More than 3,000 people have been killed in violence during the past few months, raising fears Iraq could see a new round of widespread sectarian bloodshed similar to that which brought the country to the edge of civil war in 2006 and 2007.
The suicide bomber struck a park in the Qahira neighbourhood of Baghdad late on Friday, an area popular with locals, police said. The bomber detonated his explosives in a crowd of people, killing at least 26 people and wounding 55.
Violence has stepped up in strikes on so-called soft targets in Iraq like civilians at coffee shops or those shopping along busy commercial streets.
There was no claim of responsibility for Friday's suicide bombing. Sunni extremists such as al-Qaida's Iraq arm that seek to undermine the Shia-led government are frequently blamed for attacks targeting civilians.
Later in the night, gunmen in Baghdad's northern Azamiyah neighbourhood killed four men walking down a street, an army officer and a medical official said. The motive behind the shooting wasn't immediately clear.
Elsewhere in the country, police said gunmen broke into a house of a Shia merchant at dawn on Friday in the northern town of Dujail, killing him, his wife and elderly mother. Authorities said the motive behind that attack wasn't immediately unclear.
Dujail, about 50 miles north of Baghdad, is a Shia Muslim town surrounded by Sunni areas.
Meanwhile, two police officers said bombs exploded near Sunni mosques in two neighbourhoods in Baghdad as worshippers were leaving after Friday's sermon, killing three people and wounding 18.

- Spend $30,000 a year on your credit card OR

But as a SPG AMEX Card holder and member, you automatically get credit for 5 nights towards achieving your SPG Gold status when you open an account. So, you are really only 20 nights away from reaching SPG Gold status when you sign up for the credit card. **SPG Gold and SPG Platinum membership status must be renewed every year.
II. SPG AMEX Credit Card Costs
$0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $95 annually (this one is on both Benefits and Cost section)
Transfer your Starpoints for free flights on over 150 airlines with no blackout dates. Starpoint conversion ratio varies from airline to airline and may vary with seasonality, so check with airline before booking (this one is also on both Benefits and Cost section because it depends on airline and time of travel)
15.99% to 19.99% APR on new and balance transfers. $5 or 3% of balance transfer fee apply. Needless to say, if you are NOT good at paying off your ENTIRE Credit Card balance timely, think hard before applying for this card.
25.99% on Cash Advance. $5 or 3% of cash advance fee apply. Same warning as above.
III. What you can do with your earned Starpoints:
The redemption benefits on Starwood website are exhaustive and spans over several pages, but here are the highlights.
Free Night Award - Get Free Nights
Fifth Night Free Award - Redeem 5 Free Nights, and the Fifth Night is Free and they will give you back the Starpoints you used to book the 5th Night (score!)

50% off Regular Rack Rate Award – 50% Discount on regular room rate for up to 5 nights (subject to availability)
Indulgences Award – Redeem points for in-hotel indulgences like restaurants, spas and other luxury experiences.
Just for fun, I used Starwood's points calculator to see how many nights I can earn under the following scenario:
Spend approximately $1,560/year ($130/month) in a Starwood hotel or participating properties +
Spend approximately $360/year ($30/month) in a Marriott Rewards hotel +
Spend approximately $2,400/year ($200/month) on all other purchases.
Under this scenario, I can earn up to 3 Free Nights at a Category 4 Starwood property with the initial 25,000 sign up bonus reward. Not too bad for modest spend throughout the year. Fees and taxes may apply.
In short, if you do any moderate level of traveling throughout the year for work or for personal reasons, the SPG AMEX card may be a very good option for accumulating points that can be used for free nights at premier hotels or for free flights on SPG's 150 airline travel partners around the world.

"Get down!"
The cast of Will & Grace had an epic performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday. During the show, Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally were joined by host Jimmy Fallon to perform the Will & Grace theme song with lyrics for the first time!
"Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever…the Will & Grace theme song performed with lyrics!" Fallon said, introducing the performance. Then one by one, the cast took turns singing solos, before being joined by Fallon and telling everyone to "get down" because "Will & Grace is coming to town."

Playing the Theist Game
A dishonest (but typical) theist once said:
If the universe is too big, the atheist will say it proves God couldn't possibly be interested in our tiny planet. If it's too small, he'll say that just shows there's no God because He should have created something bigger.Oh but he is playing a game. He's playing the same game that theists always play. It's called projection. This is something I have discussed before.
If we're the only intelligent life out there, the atheist will say that shows there's no God, else why all that wasted space. And if the universe is crammed full of intelligent life, then once again, we're claimed to be beneath any self respecting deity's interest.
I could continue, but you get the drift. I have no interest in playing. - Prokop

20.07.2012 00:27 Comments: 0 Categories: Creative Writing Fiction Writing Tags: sarah playle creative writing technique visualization
Visualization is one of the best techniques to use when plotting a story. It's like watching a movie in your mind, only the movie is your story. You can see all the scenes and events playing out, from beginning to end.
To start, find a quiet spot and relax. Concentrate on your breathing. Let your mind wander and don't focus on anything. If you start worrying or thinking, just let the thoughts float out of your head. Now, when you're relaxed, imagine yourself walking down a city street. Fill it in with all the details - imagining the sound of cars or of people talking. Feel the cement under your feet and the sun on your body. Walk along this street for a bit until you are fully immersed in your visualization.
Now imagine that you come a theater. You buy the ticket and go in. Now you are in the lobby, but there is no one else around. You have the whole theater yourself. Buy yourself some snacks or not. Now go into the theater and take a seat. You are the only one in there so you can sit wherever you want. The curtain goes back and the movie starts - and the movie is *your* novel. Just relax and watch it play out, as if you were viewing a real movie.
Don't force anything. Just let your mind fill in the story events on its own. When you feel like you've seen enough, wake up and immediately write down what you saw so you don't forget it. Use this technique whenever you are stuck for where to go with the plot or what to write in a scene.
Another way of using visualization is using it to meet your characters. Relax the same way you did before, but instead of imagining a theater, imagine that you are meeting your main character for coffee or lunch. Go into the restaurant or coffee stop and find your character. Really see him. What does he look like? What she wear? How does he smile, etc. Sit down and talk to your character. Let your mind fill in the questions and answers. Don't force anything. Do this with all of your characters if need be until you really know them.

Pop star and actor Nick Jonas has been named a brand ambassador for footwear firm Creative Recreation.
A longtime fan, Jonas will serve as the face of the company and spearhead initiatives including a capsule collection, which he has designed.
"His work will encompass all aspects of Creative Recreation's innovative spirit, beginning with his Spring/Summer footwear picks," a spokesman for the company says.
Jonas will also star in the brand's Fall 2016 campaign and make appearances at several Creative Recreation events.
Bosses at the footwear brand will also be hosting a contest that will give fans the chance to meet Jonas during his Future Now tour with Demi Lovato.
"Jonas will amplify his portfolio of work to give himself the title of designer with offerings inspired by a day in the life of the artist," the representative adds. "He will immerse himself in the process of developing a unisex capsule collection that is scheduled to drop in January, 2017."
"I am looking forward to my collaboration with Creative Recreation, and to starting the footwear design process in creating shoes for my fans that are perfect for their wardrobe," Jonas gushes. "It has always been important for me to be hands-on with any collaboration, and this project is no exception."
Jack Oerth, the president of Creative Recreation, tells WENN, "Nick is one of those rare celebrities who really crosses over and appeals to both young men and women. His collection will be a focal point as we seek to build our women's business and continue to extend our brand into new retail channels."

Duplicate CDs and DVDs or store them as ISO image files on your hard disk. You can always burn them later to create and backup copy of the original movie/game/software.
Create data backups
Burn your photos, spread sheets, home work results etc. to CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Disc. A hard disk crash would no longer be fatal to your work or family archives.
Update existing discs
You can use the same media for sequential recording daily. New data would perfectly co-exist with previously recorded data. The only limitation is the physical media capacity.
* All media types (CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc) including Double Layer
* All current hardware interfaces (IDE/SCSI/USB/1394/SATA) including AHCI
* UDF/ISO9660/Joliet file systems (any combination)
* On-the-fly writing (no staging to hard drive first)
* Verification of written files
* Multisession DVD-RW/DVD+RW
* Unicode CD-Text (tracks and disc)

Find perfect playlists to fit your weekend with the help of the Songza iOS app. It hooks you up with curated music playlists for different situations, like hitting the gym, entertaining guests, and more. Up next is Memorandom, a social networking app designed around shared memories that lets you chat and share items with only the people who were involved, rather than your entire galaxy of Facebook friends. Finally, there's Star Command, a mixture of simulation and strategy that basically makes you the captain of your own version of the USS Enterprise.
Also on Appolicious
If you're a new mom, a mom-to-be or know one, be sure to check out Zinio's fantastic and trustworthy list of parenting magazines.
Songza update (Free)
What's it about? Songza provides the right music at the right time by sending streaming playlists designed by its "music experts," tailored to different circumstances, like hitting the gym or falling asleep.
What's cool? Organizing your music into various playlists can become a pain, especially when you have a huge collection of music through which to dig. Songza takes the grunt work out of creating specific playlists by offering those built by music experts. Need to pump up for the gym? Songza has playlists for that. Need to set the mood for a date? There's playlist for that, too. You can also browse curated libraries of playlists to find something more to your taste and share your favorites on Facebook or Twitter. Songza's newest update redesigns things a bit and throws in new features, like the ability to type in your activity and let the app provide music, audio enhancements for your headphones, and the ability to pull up all the curated lists related to a single artist.
Who's it for? Music fans who are looking for more variety and experience-driven tracks, but don't want to be hassled setting up their own playlists for every situation, will find Songza useful.
What's it like? Find and stream more new music with the help of Twitter #music and Spotify.
Memorandom (Free)
What's it about? Social networking app Memorandom is for saving and sharing your memories with only the people who matter most.
What's cool? Memorandom is for memories, but rather than posting photos of your favorite moments to Facebook, it allows for a more private reminiscence with just the people who matter to you – specifically, the people with whom you created those memories. You can share and annotate your photos, describe what happened, where and with whom, and then create chats around those memories with the people involved. Chat functions act like text messaging between you and your friends or family that are arranged by topic, and you can search for past memories to keep track of them and the conversations that spring up around them.
Who's it for? If a more private social networking experience sounds appealing, try Memorandom.
What's it like? Another social network that lets you share your life with only the people you care about is Path.
Star Command ($2.99)
What's it about? Take control of your own spaceship and crew in Star Command, a simulation/strategy title in which you more or less get to live out episode after episode of Star Trek.
What's cool? Star Command is a simulation game that picks great subject matter to simulate. If you've ever watched Star Trek, you'll immediately understand what that means. You get to play captain, assigning crew to various workrooms around your ship, where they do their jobs when you inevitably run across hostile alien enemies. When that happens, you need to act fast to charge your weapons, produce ammunition, keep your shields up and repel invaders. Where you send your crew and at what time affects which systems are running and how fast things charge up, but you'll often need to drop what you're doing to fight off Antorians who teleport over and storm your bridge.
Who's it for? If you're into science fiction, Star Trek, the PC indie game FTL or sims of any kind, Star Command will beam a lot of fun your way.
What's it like? Check out Epic Astro Story and Ascendancy, which each offer simulation and strategic gameplay fun – in space!

text: Removable dentures are a common option for replacing missing teeth. This can be a full denture that replaces an entire arch or simply a partial denture that replaces a few teeth. Our dentures are fabricated by an outstanding lab through a series of appointments to ensure the best possible fit and comfort. Another option to make dentures feel more secure is an over-denture. Typically implants are placed and allowed to heal, then a denture can be adapted to the implants to improve retention. This is a wonderful service for those denture patients who need to use adhesives daily.

So, Internet, I took stock of your comments from my last entry about what my next Dewit should be. And I thought to myself, hey, self, why don't you stick it in a pie chart? That will be fun and visually educational! And y'all, let me just tell you: free pie charts on the internet are ugly.
Here's the first pie chart I made.
Uh, can you read that? No? Me neither. Plus, please note the hideous colors. I kept searching. Finally, I found another one that was a tiny bit better.
Aw, Number 2 pie chart! You have pretty colors, but you are still pretty weird. What's with the numbers instead of percentages? Why are you so sad, pie chart? WHY.
Y'all, what you will see below is the best free pie chart on the internet. I hope you appreciate the work I do to make this site beautiful every day.
It's not perfect. It's not even that pretty. But it sure as shit is better than those other ones. Good work, Pie Chart #3. We salute you. And coming soon to a Dewit near you: Shelf/Table Accessorizing.

Monmouth, OR – The Simon Fraser University women's soccer team finished up their first road trip of the 2012 season with a loss on Saturday afternoon to the Western Oregon Wolves, 4-1.
Three first half goals by the Wolves put the Clan in a hole they could not fight their way out of.
Amanda Gilliland (Delta, BC) got the start in goal for SFU, making two saves on the afternoon.
The game was a tight, defensive battle for the first 19 minutes before, in the 20th minute, Marina Austin scored the first goal of the game to make it 1-0 WOU.
Gilliland blocked the first two shots before Austin put the rebound into the top right of the goal to give the Wolves the lead.
The Wolves expanded their lead to 2-0 in the 23rd minute when Jo Ellen DeLeon took a cross from Lindsay Bauman and put it into the top right of the net.
The Wolves added one more before halftime and a fourth goal in the 70th minute by Maya Palaroan.
Freshman Olivia Aguiar (Coquitlam, BC) got the Clan on the board in the 85th minute with the first goal of her collegiate career.
Aguiar's shot came from the left side and went into the open net but that was all the offence the Clan could muster in the game as SFU fell 4-1.
With the loss, SFU's record falls to 1-4 on the season, 0-2 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play.
The Clan will be on the road again next week, starting with a trip the Central Washington to take on the Wildcats on Thursday, September 20 at 4:00 p.m.


text: You could hardly be having a more fantastic experience of Italy than we are. Hard to imagine that yesterday morning we were in beautiful Ravello, and tonight found us in the beautiful Italian Tirol at the Castle Tirol performing for the Meraner Festwochen. Too bad we couldn't photograph the castle as we drove up a very steep and windy road to get to it - totally spectacular. The concert was in a rectangular room holding about 300 people with views of the surrounding countryside. Seemed to be an audience full of people who know us - the program went very well, and we did two encores so that the stamping wouldn't bring down the old building. As we started Swing Down Sweet Chariot, thunder and lightning broke out which was very dramatic indeed.

Import & Export
Who would have thought that hedging could keep up with your business?
The import & export is often characterized by fast trade with (separate) orders that have narrow margins. In many cases, an estimated exchange rate is used, making it difficult to accurately hedge currency risk. TreasurUp makes it possible to hedge trades per
order/invoice and provides insight into the profitability of each order.
ERP connectivity
The speed of business makes import & export a very interesting sector for further automation of business processes. TreasurUp gives the option to transfer data from an order/invoice system directly into TreasurUp to then propose currency transactions where necessary.
Automatic adjustments
It is often challenging to project the definitive delivery date of orders. Consider, for example, a ship that is delayed or a foreign immigration office that holds up the process. When changes in delivery time are entered into the order/invoice administration
and TreasurUp will automatically adjust the underlying currency transactions. This feature can also be used for changes in order prices.

This is a different take on pesto + prawns + pizza. All the ingredients of pesto - olive oil, garlic, basil, pine nuts and parmesan cheese - are placed on the base of the pizza base, then topped with prawns, anchovies and mozzarella cheese. Very easy, and very tasty. I find that with pizza toppings, less is more!!
Very good! Easy and flavorful. Followed recipe but used whole wheat pizza crusts - 31 May 2013

Victims of Scandal Reflect on Shocking Turnabout

I'll just step right out on a limb here and say that poetry arises out of transition. Or at least that's where mine seems to come from. It is that instant, or in a succession of instants in which the mind and body become free, in which I sense being without moorings, when my attention drifts into the larger picture, the larger questions and uncertainties of the moment.
There isn't merely a single one of those instants that beckons for resolution, that nags like a thorn in the side, even in sleep. It's an ongoing state, a persistent sensation of (at least temporarily) being uncoupled from the world as it is unfolding today. Not as if there's a simple short term resolution that settles the question of how to be in this world. If I looked closely, I could find a measure of transition in every day, in every encounter, in every waking moment. But that's not exactly what I am sensing now. I am referring to something inside that realises the more essential uncertainty of life, that revels in and yearns for the vitality and unceasing generative nature of it and also for a more settled sense of having made my choices, arriving at some clarity about my intentions and mission even in that context of uncertainty.
My time in Thailand is coming to an end. I'm heading back to Nepal in three days, after which I still have a couple of weeks in the southern Thai island culture to look forward to, but that will be a less settled, more mobile time. A last fling before diving back into the roiling soup of whatever America is right now. There is an illusory aspect of being here, that one can be separate from the larger dynamics driving the world. To a certain extent that is true. If one is basically past most of the survival concerns of life and content to spend one's later years in a comfortable bubble of simplicity, beauty, mostly good weather, immersed in an appealing culture in which good will, tolerance, courtesy, kindness and generosity of spirit appear to be major features (at least outwardly), then this is a good place. Like a round of golf. Go ahead. Drop out. Why not? You deserve it.
One could easily envelop oneself in that illusion of being separate, that there is someplace in the world that is different from everywhere else, an idyllic retreat in which life goes on, never changing. But honestly, the longer one remains here, the more one becomes aware of the systemic issues, the same economic issues, the same political dynamics, the same susceptibility to climate change, the same health, human and sustainability questions that are on the tip of everyones tongue. Whatever location you happen to be considering, it's the same everywhere to a greater or lesser degree–massive change is afoot. And that's true, of course, not only because the world has become so commercially integrated, but because we can know about every other place in the world in an instant.
The same issues make their public appearance here every now and then, perhaps only in small ways, but they cannot be ignored completely. Without getting too explicit with the details, I'll just say that the issues on the surface in America are all beneath the surface here. And in some ways, they are worse. There's not much conversation at all here. Not that one is likely to explode into view at any moment. The lid is kept on here by very effective pacification strategies exercised on a relatively passive population.
Don't get me wrong. There's a great deal to like about Thailand. That's why I've spent so much time here. And I may well come back for more. It's just that the longer I'm here, the less I'm able to look away. Which makes one's choice of location-if one is determined to stay awake-pretty much irrelevant. Would I like to remain a short plane ride from an island paradise? Sure. Would I like to remain a day's drive from total immersion in colourful ethnic mountain cultures? Or in close proximity to six or seven nations whose spiritual, temperamental, cultural, economic and material nature are incredibly diverse?
OMG, I'm talking myself out of it.
No. The question in every case is the same. How are you going to live? In a world where every artificial boundary is dissolving, where the prevailing economic paradigms are unraveling, where chaos becomes a positive force of revelation and renewal, where uncertainty brings us ever closer to being fully in the present moment, in which labels and status and nationality and ethnicity and gender orientation are no longer relevant, in which creative responses are blowing the lid off of every convention, in which reductionist "knowledge" can no longer bulldoze traditional knowing, where the soul of humanity is arising from its earthy foundations below to a common Source above to crack open the heart of the planet, what is going to drive you? Where does your passion lie? What do you care about and what are you going to do about it? What is the perpetual thorn that never stops nagging you?
Find your place on the planet, dig in, and take responsibility from there.
–Gary Snyder
Maybe my time here has been an incubation. The book project and the partnership that created it was one of the most challenging things I've ever done. More on that another time. Maybe. But using the term "transition" to qualify this moment implies moving from one state to another, from the conventional to something new, from subject to object, in conceptual and material terms. That is indeed one way of interpreting this moment.
The truth is that transition can only ever be a relative condition. In essence, there is never any such thing. The world is pretty much the same, everywhere and in every moment. Awareness shifts from appearance to essence, back and forth, endlessly, returning to the truth of impermanence, in which lies the eternal opportunity, even in a hypnotic context of illusory comfort, to remain in uncertainty, to remain in spontaneous presence. That's the beauty of it and the terror of it. And therein lies the poetry.

Amazon.com wants to sell your organization a whole lot more than books, music and electronics. Amazon, the Seattle-based e-commerce giant, wants to rent your organization storage space for your mission-critical data and virtual machines for doing your information processing. The offerings are enterprise-quality, and the prices are astonishingly low. But is it safe to trust your business to Amazon's infrastructure?
These days it's common for businesses to host their websites and e-commerce systems at colocation facilities. And increasingly much of this equipment is outsourced as well. Although many businesses still like to buy their own servers, disk arrays, load balancers and firewalls, it's much more economical to rent a few dedicated servers at a service provider and let somebody else worry about the plumbing. ISPs get economies of scale by managing hundreds or thousands of identical machines, while the customer can concentrate on building a high-quality website.
Elastic computing
Amazon's new Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Web service takes this idea of hosted servers to a new level. Instead of renting physical servers on a month-by-month basis, Amazon is now renting virtual computers by the hour -- 10 cents an hour, to be exact. That 10 cents gets you the equivalent of a 1.7GHz Xenon processor with 1.25GB of RAM and 160GB of hard drives. Bandwidth is 250Mbps, at the cost of 20 cents per gigabyte transferred.
One reason that EC2 is so cheap is that the virtual servers can crash at any time and they aren't backed up. If you want to build a reliable system, you need to do it yourself by renting multiple servers and fashioning them into a redundant cluster. This approach provides not just redundancy but scalability. For example, you might build a little e-commerce website with two Web servers and two database engines. If you notice that your site is more popular on weekdays than on weekends, you might bring up an extra two or three servers on Mondays and shut them down on Friday afternoons. By forcing the customer to address the issue of backup and scaling directly, EC2 lowers costs for both Amazon and the customer alike.

Unfortunately, expectations are a lot of the time not reality. Enter Rachel Watson, the recently divorced, alcoholic, main narrator in the novel "The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins. Each day as Rachel commutes by train to her job in the city, she watches the "perfect" couple in a house by the tracks. She names them Jess and Jason, and imagines their entire life. The perfect life that she believes her and her ex husband used to live. One day, Jess, whose real name is Megan, is seen kissing another man on the deck of the house. What happened to Jason, better known as Scott? This is when their "perfect" lives suddenly go downhill. The next day, Megan is missing. Did she run away? Or was she kidnapped? Rachel's already messy life, gets even messier as she finds herself in the middle of the investigation.
Hawkins writes with a cinematic elegance that most thrillers aren't able to capture. The switching between narrators allows for the readers to have different perspectives and insights that help establish the difference between imagination and reality. Throughout the novel, Rachel tends to pass out drunk and not be able to distinguish her memories from her imagination, making the chilling story even more confusing. More and more details surrounding Megan's disappearance continue to be revealed, leading up to a shocking twist that will leave readers stunned.
Hawkins uses the idea of "judging books by their covers" to perspectives of others' lives. This book will forever change your judgments based only on what meets the eye. The fine line between imagination and reality is questioned and challenged–Hawkins does a great job making her readers question everything they have previously believed about human interactions. Just remember, not everything is how it seems.
