University academics are also playing a key role in other Essex Book Festival events including researcher James Scott, who will be joining a panel of other speakers on 15 March to debate opinions of Essex and Professor Ted Benton who will talk about his passion for nature and inspiration behind his work, alongside a panel of other Essex-based natural history writers on 8 March.

It's that time of year again, and it's hard to think about the holidays, particularly Christmas, without thinking of fantasy. It is particularly interesting to note just how many famous fantasy novels – particularly for children – are set during the festive period. The Dark is Rising, The Snow Spider and The Children of Green Knowe are all examples that come to mind immediately, but there are many others. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, whilst not set at Christmas specifically, features a suitably seasonal winter wonderland and even boasts an appearance by none other than Santa Claus himself. Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass (aka Northern Lights) also feels like a seasonal novel, even if Christmas was quite literally the last thing on the author's mind when he was writing it. There are also a number of more adult fantasy novels that make use of festive motifs, often inverting them in new and often anarchic ways. Examples of the latter include Terry Pratchett's Hogfather and Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. Then there are timeless classics like Mark Helprin's Winter's Tale, which are neither entirely for adults nor completely for children, but fall into that strange twilight realm that separates the two worlds. What makes Christmas such a popular setting for children's fantasy novels can perhaps be attributed to a number of things. The essential yuletide story of Jesus' birth is full of fantastical elements, from the angels to the star to the three Magi. Moving to the secular (or perhaps pagan) side of things, Santa Claus is nothing but fantastical – flying reindeer, elves (which rather resemble gnomes), a fat man fitting down a chimney, and so on. Then there's perhaps the most famous novel about Christmas, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, which is of course full of spirits. It's perhaps no surprise, then, that Christmas continues to be explored by fantasy writers. The myths and legends of Christmas provide a rich source of inspiration for new tales, the season can be mined for its emotion and themes, and perhaps for its strange and wonderful mix of energies.

SF's 'Art Mecca Weekend': May 19-22
Published May 11th, 2011
By David M. Roth
As for ArtPadSF, the Phoenix hotel event, you could call it the un-fair or the anti-fair. But don't think of it as a hotel fair like those on Miami's Collins Avenue where galleries hang paintings floor-to-ceiling in shabby, cramped rooms. The Phoenix's rooms are spacious and chic and the dealers, many of them first-time fair exhibitors, have been asked to exercise taste by not showing – salon-style — every artist in their stables. "Going to a hotel room to see art is going to be a lot different than going to a big open-exhibition space," Director Maria Jenson observes. "One is not better than the other; it's just that art is designed to be experienced in a number of different contexts." The Phoenix "makes it very intimate and it invites people to actually get to know the artists and the dealers. It's a very social setting, and that's what I think is most unique about it." But that's not all. Blackrock, the producer of Burning Man, is programming the music. Jasmine Moorhead, of Oakland's Krowswork, a photo and video gallery, will be projecting videos outdoors onto a six-story wall. Artforum critic and instructor Glen Helfand is curating an event intriguingly titled "Swimming Pool Social Sculpture". And Cathy Kimball, executive director of the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, will moderate a photography panel. Exhibitors include: Michael Rosenthal, Johansson Projects, Krowswork, Swarm and Ever Gold, White Walls, and Steven Wolf; the former Mission District gallerist, Jack Hanley, from New York; and even three well-regarded Geary Street dealers: Gregory Lind, Patricia Sweetow, Toomey Tourell and McLoughlin Gallery, a newcomer to the block.

My own Review
Sail Date: March 06, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Large Group
Room Type: Oceanview
This was my 4th weekly cruise. I went on different cruise carrier in all my cruises. Each one had plus and minus points. In this cruise I enjoyed dinner in my assigned restaurant. Staff in entirety was extremely good, friendly and courteous. I believe I was not very happy with the overall entertainment. It was OK but I had better time on another cruiseship. I did not like the part Windjammer buffet place closed little early. I did not like the Casino part being in middle of 4th deck and open for smokers. That resulted each person was exposed to smoke being in middle of deck and open on both ends. That also spread smoke to deck 5. I believe Casino should be behind closed doors. Ship does have enough sport facilities. Gym was excellent.

hopscotch (285) Vero Beach, Florida | April 29, 2017
Sat outside. Urban atmosphere in a very rural state. The beer ranged from not-so-good to pretty great. The food was excellent. The service was satisfactory, but our server had a lot of customers to cover while we were here. We hit the place at lunchtime on a weekday, so it was pretty busy. Been here once. Accidentally checked in here twice.
Reynolds314 (41) Connecticut | April 2, 2017
This is a fantastic stop in Burlington. The place itself is great with brick ovens and great interior design features. Service was fine with no complaints. We ordered a couple pizzas and they were great. This is a place that for some reason the beer tastes better in person. Ive had plenty of zero gravity beer elsewhere but when you drink it in this place it tastes better. Great spot.
omhper (224) Tyresö, Sweden | March 20, 2017
Visited for a Saturday lunch in February. The pizzas are world class, the beer pretty good. Didnt really connect with the staff, but they were professional. I will decidedly check in for pizza and beer again if Im ever back in town.
JStax (513) Devola/Marietta, Ohio | October 26, 2016
Visited on a busy Thursday afternoon. Lucked into a couple seats at the bar. Service there was alright, but a bit slow. No flights available, but they will do half pours. All beers on draft were their own (Zero Gravity), and there was good variety within that selection. Did not order food, but the stuff I saw looked and smelled good. They do predominantly pizza, as might be indicated in the name. I would visit this place again, but maybe earlier in the day.
UKBeerGeek (193) , | October 13, 2016
Visited late on a Thursday evening, so it was quite understandable that the place was not so full. Service at the bar was friendly and efficient. Big selection of own beers on tap, did not look at any bottles. I tried the Conehead, which was good, and the Gose, which was not bad. We had already eaten elsewhere, so didnt try the food here, which is a shame as the pizza looked really good. Prices for beer were pretty good. Seemed well worth a visit, would try to eat here next time.
brokensail (1362) Dublin, California | September 6, 2016
Pizza place that also serves a ton of Zero Gravity beers. Serves as the brewpub location, it seems.
Cool place. Brick building with a nice big wooden bar and plenty of dining room seating as well. Decently crowded on a Friday night, but we were able to find a couple of seats at the bar for dinner and some beers. Theyre known for their pizzas here, so we ordered one of those. They will do half and half of two different kinds, which is nice since the better half and I often want to get different things.
Like a few other places in town, they dont do flights--just half and full pours. I find this annoying, but whatever. The two of us shared a few things. Beer quality was, in general, pretty good. Conehead was probably my favorite of the beers that I tried.
Service was friendly enough, but things kind of took awhile here, particularly as it pertains to the kitchen/getting the food out. The server admitted to forgetting to putting in the salad that we ordered, which was kind of annoying and just the first of a few times that happened to us on the trip...maybe people in northern New England dont get salad with their pizzas?
Anyway, pretty cool spot. Decent food, decent beers. Worth a stop, particularly with its central location.
ametras (70) Gatineau, Quebec | July 26, 2016
Visited on a Sunday evening. Half bar, half restaurant with a brick oven in a corner. Over a dozen beer on tap, an eclectic selection of English, Belgian, German and American beers. A change of pace from the usual regional Pale Ales and IPAs. Good service. Amazing Flatbreads.
VastActiv (146) Oulu/Helsinki, Finland | April 10, 2016
Visited 20160213. Nice popular place. Flatbreads were great. Serving only their own Zero Gravity beers if I am right, worth of visiting still.
Scopey (681) Croydon, England | January 24, 2016
We visited on a Sunday afternoon in Autumn. We were just here for drinks, so sat in the small bar area on the right hand side as you enter. They had about 12ish house-brewed beers on offer during our visit. I thought the quality of the beers were above average in general, with the IPAs being the best of the bunch. Saying that they didnt blow me away and there are much better beers in Burlington to be drinking. Service was fine and prices seemed all right. A decent place overall, but not the most exciting beer available in town.
Garrold (100) Sheffield, England | December 10, 2015
Ate pizza and drank beer just once, but given the opportunity Id have been here a lot. For a start, the house brewed beers are very high quality. So is the pizza. Service is faultless. Prices are great. Very hard to fault.

DWN member @NLIRH calls for stories on gender & immigration enforcement
via Anjela Jenkins
The National Coalition for Immigrant Women's Rights (NCIWR) will soon be releasing a white paper highlighting some of the challenges that immigrant women face in their daily lives, as well as in immigration detention and with the immigration "enforcement" system.
While we already have some personal stories spotlighted in our report, we wanted to reach out one last time to you all to see if any of you have clients willing to share their stores about experiences with law enforcement, accessing public benefits, being separated from partners or children (including separation of same-sex partners and of same-sex couples from their children), or sex/gender-identity-specific abuse in detention.
Please feel free to contact me (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have stories you'd like to share or if your organization is interested in joining NCIWR and forming part of a community of advocates who work deliberately at the intersection of gender and immigration issues.

I had my head knocked in by a brick wrapped in felt once...I think so, at least.
What, no St Pauli's Exclusion Principle Girl?

St.P's girl is a wonderful thing...
That reminds me of this story my boss told me about the last time he went to a bar in San Luis Obispo. He made the mistake of yelling to the bartender that he would like to have a "Pauli girl" which when spoken sounds an awful lot like "Poly girl." Every guy at the bar chimed in with "Yeah, I'll take one of those too!" along with a few comments a little more lewd in nature.
Hey, if you get caught drinking, tell the cop that the liquor in your cup is called "Old Tennis Shoes" and you got it from some guy on Cannery Row named "Mack"
A lawyer at such a young age... thats impressive....

Choanal atresia
|Choanal atresia
|Classification and external resources
|medical genetics
Choanal atresia is a congenital disorder where the back of the nasal passage (choana) is blocked, usually by abnormal bony or soft tissue (membranous) due to failed recanalization of the nasal fossae during fetal development.
It can be unilateral or bilateral.
- Sometimes, a unilateral choanal atresia is not detected until much later in life because the baby manages to get along with only one nostril available for breathing.
- Bilateral choanal atresia is a very serious life-threatening condition because the baby will then be unable to breathe directly after birth as babies are obligate nasal breathers (they mainly use their noses to breathe). In some cases, this may present as cyanosis while the baby is feeding, because the oral air passages are blocked by the tongue, further restricting the airway. The cyanosis may improve when the baby cries, as the oral airway is used at this time. These babies may require airway resuscitation soon after birth.
Associated conditions[edit]
Sometimes babies born with choanal atresia also have other abnormalities:
- coloboma
- heart defects
- mental retardation
- growth impairment
- others (see also CHARGE syndrome)
Also any condition that causes significant depression of the nasal bridge or midface retraction can be associated with choanal atresia. Examples include the craniosynostosis syndromes such as Crouzon syndrome, Pfeiffer syndrome, Treacher Collins and Antley-Bixler syndrome.
Choanal atresia can be suspected if it is impossible to insert a nasal catheter.[1] Also, if one notices a continuous stream of mucus draining from one or both nostrils, it could be a sign of an atresia. Another common sign is cyanosis in an infant while breast feeding, as breathing is dependent on nasal patency in this situation.[1] Diagnosis is confirmed by radiological imaging, usually CT scan.[1]
Risk factors[edit]
Very few risk factors for choanal atresia have been identified. While causes are unknown, both genetic and environmental triggers are suspected.[2] One study suggests that chemicals that act as endocrine disrupters may put an unborn infant at risk. A 2012 epidemiological study looked at atrazine, a commonly used herbicide in the U.S., and found that women who lived in counties in Texas with the highest levels of this chemical being used to treat agricultural crops were 80 times more likely to give birth to infants with choanal atresia or stenosis compared to women who lived in the counties with the lowest levels.[3] Another epidemiological report in 2010 found even higher associations between increased incidents of choanal atresia and exposure to second-hand-smoke, coffee consumption, high maternal zinc and B-12 intake and exposure to anti-infective urinary tract medications.[4]
Temporary alleviation can be achieved by inserting an oral airway into the mouth. However, the only definitive treatment is surgery to correct the defect by perforating the atresia to create a nasopharyngeal airway. If the blockage is caused by bone, this is drilled through and stent inserted. The patient has to have this sucked out by an air vacuum machine . And in later life as a teenager or in early twenties the hole will have to be re-drilled larger.
A stent may be inserted[5] to keep the newly formed airway patent or repeated dilatation may be performed.[6]
In popular culture[edit]
In the movie City of Angels, Dr. Maggie Rice (played by Meg Ryan) correctly diagnoses the cause of a newborn baby's failure to thrive as due to choanal atresia.

I googled my own name last night and all that comes up are the two defamatory screeds posted about me in 2007 on AbovetheLaw.com by former Dept. of Justice attorney David Lat. They come up over and over for the first five pages. (I did not look beyond that.) THIS BLOG does not even come up!
Also coming up are photos of unattractive women, different ones since 2007. At some points there have been a whole slew of pimply women named Alison Maynard inviting you to join them on Facebook, knocking back martinis. A lot of money is being pumped into keeping this false picture of me in the forefront, and pushing my blog down. This would explain why I do not get any traffic on this site. People are being prohibited from finding out about it. I feel sorry for two other female attorneys, in the UK and Australia, who are named "Alison Maynard." They're being harmed by this smear campaign, too.
Several listings also come up for a business address I haven't had for 11 years, and addresses I have never had, including one in Quantico, VA. (They transformed my P.O. box number into a zip code). Even without the ridicule, the false contact information was enough to destroy my law practice. Together they most definitely did.
In 2002, when I ran for Colorado Attorney General--my opponent was Ken Salazar--I had a stellar web presence. Here's one of the things still online (which also does not come up when "Alison Maynard" is googled.) Some newspaper articles about my career are here; here's my issues statement from 2002--which sets forth a few of the reasons Mr. Salazar was unfit--and here's my resume. I have handled a great deal of litigation in the public interest--which means, in Colorado, fighting the corrupt governmental officials who were installed by the Mizel/Brownstein S&L fraudster/developer cabal. I do mean "installed," because they also control elections. And I do mean Ken Salazar, as one of their stooges. So, I did get some favorable press before 2002, mostly from local newspapers; even my letters to the editor came up when my name was googled. Many of those newspapers have since been bought up by William Dean Singleton, who is "good friends with Larry Mizel" (see "The Dysfunctional Denver Post").
Now, all the good stuff has been scrubbed. None of my federal complaints even come up. There is only dung from the cockroach Lat. Largely because of it I became the target of unending disciplinary proceedings beginning in 2007, repeated groundless charges of mental incapacity and huge monetary sanctions slapped on me summarily by the Colorado Supreme Court, the latest of which--imposed without any due process whatsoever--is $100,000. I have been stripped of everything I own, as well as my ability to earn a living.
I continue to be ridiculed on the web. Enough already! I have paid my debt to society--far more than I ever owed (which was nothing).
Wouldn't you think it was time Lat shelved his stupid article, laid off the "search engine optimization," and canned his stupid website? What does it take for a cockroach to realize there are no crumbs left in the kitchen?
***Update, Dec. 28, 2011: I googled my name not long after I had posted this article. On the first page of results appeared an image of this very article, and the reference to "pimply women" had a green border around it with an arrow pointing to one woman's picture. This (along with the fact that none of my federal complaints come up) is proof positive that some hunchback with a single eye in the middle of his forehead is monitoring my posts, drooling on his keyboard, and manipulating the search engines to do me maximum harm. And he is being paid. Maybe he is within Google itself.
I revised the text of this post, and just checked back: the image of the blog post--with the colored border and arrow--is no longer there! I wish I'd taken a picture.
***UPDATE Jan. 21, 2012: I just googled "The Real Colorado"--and THIS BLOG DOES NOT COME UP AT ALL!!! I WENT THROUGH ALL 35 PAGES OF RESULTS!***

Michael Dix, headteacher of Glebelands Primary, Leicester
My journey to my first headship was not an easy one. It took about three years, and I was well into double figures for interviews before I finally succeeded.
While my personality proclaimed itself boldly in my application letters, it scuttled away and hid when I arrived for interviews. The feedback I received always contained the word "nervous".
Thinking back now to what was a very challenging time, I felt a mixture of emotions. I developed a great deal of resilience and I was always optimistic, at least until the phone rang and I heard the words, "I'm afraid...". I felt anger when given 30 minutes to complete a task and was then called in to discuss it after 20; I felt despair when asked to participate in an observed discussion with other candidates who adopted Apprentice-style techniques; I felt confused when the chair of governors told me I hadn't got the job but I should have done because I was the best candidate.
I took lots of advice and dissected the feedback that schools gave me. I ensured that I could answer any question that might come up, memorising key points, practising my answers for hours. Presentations were painstakingly prepared, background information on the school stored away. I took every opportunity on the day of interview to engage with governors, staff and most importantly, children.
And then it happened. I was the right person in the right school. I became a headteacher, with all the joys and woes, the highs and lows.
When it came to applying for a second headship, I had one vital advantage – experience. I could talk to the panel about being a head and I knew what I was talking about, I was already doing the job. This, I think is the key to success. The governors are making the most important decision they are likely to have to make: the next leader of their school. You have to convince them that you can do the job, that you will steer the school in the right direction, that their children are not only safe in your hands, but that they are going to be going on a wonderful educational journey with you. Simple really.
Rachel Macfarlane, principal of the Isaac Newton Academy, Ilford
I was a teacher for thirteen years before I got my first headship. During this time I worked as a history teacher, head of humanities, assistant head, and then as a deputy head. I moved around a lot, working in four schools each of which had very different intakes. The variety gave me the opportunity to experience teaching, leading and pastoral care in a range of settings. I was also lucky that while working as a deputy head I had a very wide range of responsibilities – from the curriculum to pastoral care and financial management.
I didn't set out with a conscious ambition to become a head, but I was always thinking about what I could do next. When I was working as a deputy I increasingly felt that I was gaining the experience that was needed to apply for a headship. I did a headship qualification and this showed me that there weren't any hidden aspects to being a head that I hadn't yet found out about.
If you're thinking about becoming a head, my advice would be to have the confidence to believe that the step up is achievable. Go and shadow headteachers - spend the day walking the school and sitting in on meetings. You'll get a sense of what's involved and also of the range of different headship styles out there. No two heads run their schools in the same way, and no two schools are the same. It's really important when applying for headships, not only to be confident that you're ready for it, but also to think about the type of school you want to lead.
John Tomsett, headteacher of Huntington School, York
I didn't begin teaching with a dream of becoming a headteacher. Although it sounds odd, I only applied for a headship because I wanted to do something different and in some ways you can't make sideways moves in education. Having been a member of senior leadership team (SLT) for 10 years, I thought I could probably do the job. But when I became a headteacher I realised that nothing prepares you for the position, even five years as a deputy and a National Professional Headship Qualification.
To succeed as a head, you need to be a great teacher first and foremost; to lead teaching and learning you have to be able to cut the mustard in the classroom yourself. You must also be absolutely sure you want to lead a school. This week I took a young, aspiring senior leader to a headteachers' meeting to discuss a collective response to Gove's change of policy about GCSE re-takes and accountability measures, and he said afterwards that, for the first time, he was suddenly unsure as to whether he really wanted to be a headteacher.
My final advice is, don't become a head too soon. The demise of the local authorities and the fact you'll have to work until you're nearly 70 to get a pension, means that if you become a headteacher in your mid-thirties you'll spend more than 30 years in the post. I've just started my eleventh year and I have the pacemaker to prove it…
Stephen Sanderson, president of the International Primary Head teachers Forum and former-headteacher
After I'd done nine years as a deputy in a primary school I got a phone call from a local authority inspector. He said that he wanted to watch me teach for a morning, and afterwards, took me out for lunch. It was then that he asked if I'd thought of applying for a headship.
To be honest, I hadn't, but he recommended that we put a path together, which involved some leadership courses and so on. I already had some experience working as an acting head while my own headteacher had been off sick. I applied for a couple of headships and got the second one.
The courses that I went on were useful, but very different to the ones given to heads now. We were taken on visits to talk to real people doing jobs in different contexts, even watching cases in magistrates courts, looking at how they would defend individuals, or at how solicitors' practices were run. It was useful to venture outside of the educational bubble.
If you want to make it as a head you need to take the opportunities – or fashion the opportunities – to get experience working across the whole school rather than just in the specialism that you've got. Initially my experience was teaching juniors, but I went out of my way to go into the infant and early years department so that I had experience working with those colleagues. The one thing that you need to have as a head is an overview of the school.

But first Scarlett Lewis was invited to the stage. Scarlett's son was a six-year-old hero who died saving his friends' lives in the Newtown, Connecticut, elementary-school massacre, and her words of love rang deep through the packed house as she told her story. Alex noticed that Scarlett described love more as an action and less as a feeling, and made a mental note to speak to her after the presentation. Scarlett would soon send Alex a letter - and coupled with the letter from Dr Dyer's daughter, the foundation would be set for Alex's For The Sender: Love Is (Not A Feeling). Through those letters (and three other inspiring examples), and songs from platinum-selling artists written about them, Alex weaves his own story of discovery as he sifts through the competing messages we receive daily about the most powerful of human experiences: love. He challenges mainstream media, the self-help establishment, and the reader to re-examine what really matters: what we actually do, for ourselves and each other. The end result is a deeply empowering reading and listening experience.

"Can you understand us?" (Mary)
Mary asks the little girl who is now standing dumbly in front of us. This little girl should be the same girl on the carriage just a moment ago. I remember her hair and her height matched.
She is also a magician. She can help us understand their language.
The question is why she is here. We haven't had any contact with her nor the man who is supposed to be with her.
I walk to the window and look outside. That carriage is no longer nearby and the man is nowhere to be seen. He isn't downstairs either as I passed through there when I came back.
I look at the girl who doesn't look like she is trying to do something bad. Her legs are still shaking a bit. She is still a bit afraid of us.
This kind of kid can't possibly do something bad. If she did, I can't trust anyone anymore.
Mary sits her down beside her on the bed. She brushes her hair gently.
I clean up the wet floor while waiting for Mary to calm her down. She also needs time to comprehend our language.
After a while, Mary crouches in front of the girl. She maintain a level eye contact with her. This is so we don't appear overbearing and will help her to talk more.
"What's your name?" (Mary)
"Alic.... Alishia." (Alishia)
There is a small gap in her talk. Is it my imagination?
"I am Mary and this is Erwin. Why are you looking for me?" (Mary)
Just a moment ago, she looked like she is trying to wake Mary up. She already saw me with Mary before we got into the inn. If she was looking for us, she could have talk to me.
However, she didn't. She was just walking around Mary while Mary slept. It's like she was only looking for Mary.
"Dad said, magician must hide. Your magic spills out." (Alishia)
"Do you?" (Erwin)
Mary glances at me.
"Yeah, I have been constantly training my magic control since coming here. However my magic is only a few cm around my body." (Mary)
"So, did she sense it? That's amazing." (Erwin)
"Every magician can sense it. Only ordinary people can't." (Mary)
Mary turns back to Alishia. She pats her head.
"I will be careful from now on. Have you eat lunch?" (Mary)
Alishia shakes her head.
"Where is the man who is with you just now?" (Erwin)
"He is at home." (Alishia)
"Does he know you're here?" (Mary)
"Yes. He also told me to bring you home." (Alishia)
Alishia stares at Mary. Mary and I look at each other.
"Why?" (Mary)
"You are a magician." (Alishia)
Alishia answers straight to the point and without explanation. This is quite difficult. Maybe we should meet her father first.
"Let's go eat first. We will talk later." (Erwin)
I look at my watch and see that it is already 2 P.M. We go downstairs to the dining area. I brought the broom and dustpan along.
After handing over the broom and dustpan, we sit at the counter. Alishia is the only one who can read and talk so we ask her as a translator. She sit between Mary and I.
I turn to Mary while Alishia is busy reading the menu.
"Mary, after we eat, you should dye your hair and follow her to her father's place." (Erwin)
"Why should I dye my hair?" (Mary)
"I was being followed just now when I went around the city. Just in case if there are others." (Erwin)
"Hmm... Okay. I will dye her hair as well." (Mary)
We eat lunch leisurely. The food taste is weak. It should be because they have limited seasoning. Transportation of goods is still hard in this era.
After eating, we return to our room.
"Alishia, let's go to your father's place." (Mary)
"Hmm? Why?" (Alishia)
"Didn't you say to take me to him?" (Mary)
"He is not my dad." (Alishia)
"Eh? Who is he?" (Mary)
"Dad's friend. Dad told me to follow him to Yamato Kingdom and wait there. Dad and Mom will meet me there, then we will go around." (Alishia)
Alishia talks cheerfully. We are taken aback by the unexpected name of a Kingdom. It is a Japanese name. However, we throw it back to the back of our mind as it might be a coincidence.
"Dad told me that there are a lot of magicians there. They don't have to hide. I want to go there!" (Alishia)
The fact that magicians move freely there also picks our interest. It seems like we need to go there if we want to have an easier time on accomplishing our mission.
"Oh right. What is this country's name?" (Erwin)
"Zero Kingdom. The leader of an Tripact Alliance consisting of.... Hmm, Zero Kingdom, Gama Kingdom and Arch Dukedom." (Alishia)
"Hmm? You know a lot. How clever." (Erwin)
"Of course." (Alishia)
Alishia stands proudly with her hands on her waist. Mary is brushing her hair with a comb while listening quietly. Alishia feels comfortable with the brushing.
"Don't move okay? I will change your hair's color." (Mary)
"Why?" (Alishia)
Alishia looks up to Mary who is behind her. Her blue eyes stare at Mary's light blue eyes. Looking from the side, they look like a pair of sisters.
"Then, let me ask you. Why did you hide your hair before?" (Mary)
"Uncle said it will call bad people to me." (Alishia)
I stifle my laughter for a moment. She is still innocent. That's good. I am tired of my country's kids who know too many things at young ages.
"I see. I will change it so it won't attract them. Okay?" (Mary)
"Hmm... Okay." (Alishia)
Alishia obediently sits on Mary's laps. Mary raises both of her hands and slowly brushes Alishia's hair. Small dim yellowish lights appear from her hands and merge themselves on Alishia's hair.
Slowly Alishia's shiny golden hair turns duller and duller. After a while, her hair has becomes yellow and then becomes light brown.
Alishia looks different from her usual image now. One could say that she is less pretty than just now but her natural beautiful face still can't be hidden. If a moment ago, she looks like a noble princess, now she looks like a pretty and healthy village girl.
Mary brushes her own hair as well. Similarly her shiny silver hair turns duller and duller. A short while later, her hair has become the similar light brown as Alishia's.
"How did you do that?" (Alishia)
Alishia asks with glistering eyes. She stares at Mary's and her hair back and forth. I also look at her, waiting to hear the explanation. She makes it so simple to dye hair.
"Do you know earth mana?" (Mary)
"I don't know." (Alishia)
"They are mana of lands. Soils, stones, boulders, mud. All of them have earth mana." (Erwin)
"Correct. Earth mana has a natural dull yellowish color so I gather and paste a lot of them on our hairs. That's why we have a light brown color hair." (Mary)
"Hoo... Then if you use water mana?" (Erwin)
"I can turn my hair to transparent blue, light blue or even ocean blue depending on how much mana I gather. However, it is a bit hard on Alishia's hair as her natural color is golden. That's why I decided to use earth mana as its color is closer." (Mary)
I see. Her natural hair is silver. It's more simple to dye it than other color. Similarly, my black hair is the hardest to dye.
"Well then, how about you teach her [Language Comprehension] magic? I want to go around to gather information." (Erwin)
"Alright. It is a simple magic. She will be able to do it in half an hour. Please wait a bit. Alishia, come here. We need your help for a bit. I will teach you a magic." (Mary)
"Okay~" (Alishia)
Mary takes out a note and few other things from her storage. She starts teaching Alishia about the magic.
I look out of the window. I spot a few shady people looking here from the alley across the road.
I look at other alleys. There are quite a lot of them around. Looks like someone want to keep watch of us. That knight comes to mind.
For the time being, I stealthily record their aura with the bracelet. Half of them are recorded while the other half are out of range. I give up on them as I don't want to draw their attention.
After a while, I grab a chair and sit near the window. I read the last report from HQ. Confirming that the HQ has retreated deals quite a blow on my confidence.
I look for more things addressed in the report. The conclusion is as such:
A large army is currently marching. Whereabouts and their goal are unknown. Caution is strongly advised.
The army or maybe the nation might be taking a hostile attitude towards any outsiders. Blend into the locals for safety measure until their reason of hostility is known.
A supply box is left behind with weapons and various equipment, food, and water are left at attached coordinate. Retrieve it.
So far, I can guess their reason for hostility. They don't like magicians. Our out of era equipment should have been thought as magic items.
'I should retrieve the supply box tomorrow or the day after.' I think in my mind.
"Erwin, we are done. Come here." (Mary)
I turn around just as the dim lights around Mary die out. Alishia is panting and lying down beside her on the bed.
"So quick?" (Erwin)
"Yeah. I draw the formation array for the magic on a magic paper and ask her to use it." (Mary)
"Magic paper? I don't recall you used any before." (Erwin)
Magic paper is a specialized paper for formation magic. It is a paper made from Treant, a tree monster, traded from other worlds as it can contain mana. It is useful for beginner magician to use and learn how to use the magic at the same time..
"It's because I can draw it in my mind. I don't need to use the paper." (Mary)
"I see. Let's start then." (Erwin)
I grab the chair I sit on and put it in front of Mary. I sit down facing her. Mary extends her hand and giggles.
"What's wrong?" (Erwin)
"Nothing." (Mary)
I rub my face, thinking that there is something on it. Sadly, I can't find any.
"Something wrong with my face?" (Erwin)
"There is nothing wrong. I just recall something. Don't mind it." (Mary)
I frown and think for a while. Nothing comes to mind. Meanwhile, Mary closes her eyes and starts to cast the magic.
After a while, characters start to form in my head. A whole new language are learned. I lament that I don't have this convenient magic. I can read a lot more books and novels with this magic. Some games also don't have English version.
We spend around ten minutes to familiarize the language while waiting for Alishia to rest. Then we spend another ten minutes talking with her in this world's language.
This language is used anywhere in this continent. Thousands of years ago, a massive empire unified and ruled the entire continent. At that time, other languages are seldom used. After a few generation, they are abandoned.
Legends said that a few communities maintain those languages and way of life. They are regarded as protectors of ancient cultures. They live at remote locations. The truth remains unconfirmed.
Alishia passionately talks about it. Her knowledge is really something.
Evening approaches. I look out of the window and search for the peepers. They are still around. How tenacious.
"You should go out first. I will draw the pursuers attention to the window. With your hair color different, they might not follow you. I will call you if I see anyone following." (Erwin)
"Alright. Alishia, let's go." (Mary)
"Okay~" (Alishia)
Mary and Alishia wear villager clothes. Mary has used it from Earth and kept hidden inside her robe while Alishia already wore one. Mary stores Alishia's short staff into her storage bracelet.
"We are going." (Mary)
"Goodbye." (Alishia)
"Take care." (Erwin)
I wave at them. At the door Mary suddenly turns around and glare at me.
"Erwin, I got something to tell you later. Be prepared." (Mary)
I flinch back a bit and nod. I watch the door closes and look out of the window. I wonder what she wants to say.
The road is now more congested with people. A lot of people are out hunting for snacks. Stalls, restaurants and taverns are half-filled with people.
Mary and Alishia steps out of the inn. They really look like a pair of beautiful sisters now that their hair is similar to each other. They walk on the side of the road while talking and smiling. They are drawing a lot of attention.
Fortunately, none of the peepers chases them. They haven't discovered that one of their targets has gone. They are quite faithful at their duty.
Ah, one of them chases after Mary. I see him try to pass through the crowds. The crowds get angry and push him back. A quarrel breaks out immediately.
I sigh and turn around. It's time for me to go out as well. After locking the door, I descend the stairs.
I walk around the main road just like before. This time, however, I can read the words on the signboards.
Walking around for a while without meeting a point of interest, I finally come across interesting facilities.
[Warrior Guild] and [Merchant Guild]
Three large buildings stand side by side. A sign of a sword and an axe crossing each other represents the warrior guild on the middle. A sign of scale represents the Merchant Guild on the left. The right one doesn't have any sign and are deserted.
It should have been a guild as well. What guild is that? Why is it deserted? Magician? Maybe.
I look at the warrior guild and merchant guild.
'Interesting. Which one should I choose?' I think in my mind.
A moment later, I decide to enter the warrior guild first.

Team GB's amazing medal success at the Rio Olympic Games will inspire many home buyers to put good sports facilities at the top of their wish lists. Fortunately, in London, developers are providing plenty of encouragement for us to choose a sporting way of life.
New homes builders know the value of working with the natural environment, plugging into neighbouring parkland and waterways, developing alongside forgotten rivers, disused docks and canals to introduce water sports amenities, jogging and cycle tracks. Some are even adding rooftop swimming pools.
It's not only Stratford, near the London 2012 Olympic Park, where arenas and facilities are linked to new housing. Lee Valley Regional Park, which stretches from Docklands to Ware in Hertfordshire, now has one of race ace Chris Hoy's 20 Great Cycle Routes.
We excel as a nation in rowing and riding. Cycling has become much more accessible because of bike-friendly initiatives such as safe superhighways, while opportunities for water sports in London are plentiful these days. As well as the Thames, there are inland docks, lakes, canal basins and reservoirs where regeneration is opening up access to the water for recreational use.
Outer London has new neighbourhoods and country parks, as at 3,750-home Southall Waterside in Ealing, where three new pedestrian bridges across Grand Union Canal will connect the development to 95-acre Minet Country Park.
Rather than merely having an on-site gym in an airless basement, more imaginative new London housing developments offer outdoor exercise areas and even spectacular rooftop running tracks and open-air swimming pools. At Bolingbroke Park, a 212-home scheme in Cockfosters, developer L&Q has created the "trim trail", an outdoor jogging course that winds through quiet woodland and around a lake. Flats from £360,000, houses from £650,000. Call 03330 033 637.
Rowing: learn how — and live by the river
Several new housing schemes are being built on the semi-rural banks of the Thames between Putney and Mortlake, famous for rowing and the annual Oxford v Cambridge Boat Race. Fulham Reach — a 750-home scheme where river-facing two-bedroom flats cost from £1,229,950 — has its own boat club that runs a community programme for local residents who want to learn how to row. Call St George on 020 7870 9500.
At Queen's Wharf, Hammersmith, moments from the headquarters of British Rowing, the sport's official governing body, apartments cost from £715,000. Call 020 3740 1216.
Reservoirs that were once out of bounds, but are now designated Sites of Metropolitan Importance, have become popular with Londoners seeking to shake off the sweat of the city.
Woodberry Down, a new neighbourhood of 4,600 homes on the site of a bulldozed council estate, sits in Zone 2 and occupies an awesome, unexpected setting alongside two vast reservoirs and the New River in N4.
North London Sailing Association is based there and offers accredited courses, training sessions and races for all ages and abilities. In addition to sailing, canoeing and kayaking, there is open water swimming and triathlon training, plus a nature reserve with a jogging trail. A new phase of waterside apartments called Nature Collection has been unveiled, with prices starting at £475,000. Call Berkeley Homes on 020 8895 9918.
Hendon Waterside, with 2,000 new homes on 30 acres, borders the giant Welsh Harp reservoir, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and home to a canoe club. Vista, the latest phase, is a 26-storey tower with two-bedroom water-view apartments priced from £489,500. Call 0844 811 4321.
Greenwich Yacht Club flourished even when Greenwich Peninsula was a dirty gasworks. The area is now being transformed into a glossy riverside district with 15,000 homes and lots of leisure amenities. Flats at Millennium Terrace, adjacent to the yacht club, cost from £410,000. Call 020 8305 2712.
Multi-sport homes: sail, swim, run, box
With a backdrop of big skies, awesome riverscapes and glamorous high-rise buildings, Docklands is a superb place to keep fit, as the annual London Marathon proves. As well as miles of designated running routes, there are several boat clubs. Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre sits alongside South Quay Plaza, a new mixed development with 888 homes designed by architects Foster + Partners. An outdoor exercise area, including a running path, is being created in the one-and-a-half acres of public space. Prices from £695,000. Call 020 3627 9657.
New Providence Wharf, an eight-and-a-half-acre scheme near the Canary Wharf dealing rooms, offers an on-site athletics track, a boxing ring, a 25-metre pool and spa. Shared-ownership flats are available. Prices from £407,500. Call Genesis (020 3773 1509).
The Junction, where penthouses cost from £740,000, looms over Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre, which offers not just watersports but also high ropes climbing courses and mountain biking. Call Telford Homes on 020 3538 4859. The same developer is selling homes next to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, where there is a hockey and tennis complex alongside the main stadium, Velodrome and Aquatics Centre. Three-bedroom flats cost from £795,000.
Prospect East, bordering the Olympic Park on the cheaper Leyton side, has two-bedroom flats starting at £469,950. Call 020 8003 1718.
Aim high, live fast: climbing or cycling
Civil engineer Joel Waugh, 31, and project manager Sian Mayhew, 29, both keen rock climbers, left a rented flat in Brixton to buy near Victoria Park in east London because it was close to Mile End Climbing Wall. "The climbing centre's right on the canal bank opposite our apartment at Titanium Point — so it's hugely convenient and great for preparation for our climbing holidays abroad," says Joel.
The couple used the low-deposit Help to Buy scheme to purchase their £400,000 flat through Guinness Homes. Call 0300 456 0522.
A new £20 million leisure centre, part of the Elephant and Castle makeover, offers Southwark residents free swimming and gym sessions. The area's wider regeneration is creating pedestrian and cycle links to refurbished and upgraded Burgess Park, a 113-acre expanse with a dedicated 5km running route marked by butterfly motifs to celebrate the famous Camberwell Beauty, a rare species identified in the area in 1748.
An old public baths, now a boxing gym, is part of the park, along with a popular BMX biking track. Harvard Gardens is one of the nearby new apartment schemes. Prices from £412,000. Call 0333 033 3640.

I made this cake for a 2nd birthday.

First Cruise - Great Experience
Sail Date: January 24, 2015
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Oceanview
This was our first cruise. The staterooms are small but comfortable and met all of our needs. The main buffet on Level 12 was great. If you can't find something you like there, then you probably just can't be satisfied anywhere. The entertainment has to be geared for all ages, so you probably won't like every single venue, but you should be able to find plenty to enjoy. One suggestion: before you depart go online and find deck plans of each deck and print them out. You will find them to be helpful and they are not available onboard the ship. Our stops were Cozumel, Belize City, Belize and Trujillo, Honduras.
Cozumel: Cozumel is a tourist town. Spanish is the native language but English is spoken everywhere. The economy depends on tourism and the people are friendly. Remember to bargain or you will pay too much. We took a taxi ride around the Island. I would not recommend it. There is not much to see outside of the city of Cozumel regardless of what they tell you. We did not go to the mainland. Next time we would.
Belize: Education in Belize is in English and is mandatory so you will not have any problem with language. The people are friendly and are dependent on tourism for much of their economy. We took a tour around the city and it was enjoyable. We were then talked into a taxi ride around the countryside. There is not that much to see on that trip, but we helped a local man feed his family that day so I guess it was worth it.
Trujillo: This is an area that has just been opened up to tourism recently and is still under construction. The people there are poor and uneducated. The tour guides may not be from that city, but may come there only when the cruise ships come in. Go and see for yourself.
Go for a cruise. Meet some new people. Have some fun. You will have to try hard to keep from having fun.

Rogers pushes for open Canadian spectrum auction
TORONTO (Reuters) - Rogers Communications, Canada's largest wireless provider, wants the country's next sale of airwaves to be wide open, allowing the cash-rich company to buy up as much spectrum as it wants.
That would be a shift from a 2008 auction, when the government set aside some spectrum for new entrants to foster competition in an industry dominated by Rogers and two other established operators, BCE Inc and Telus.
"The auction decides -- instead of spending money on fancy lobbyists you put your money where your mouth is," Ken Engelhart, head of regulatory affairs at Rogers, said on the sidelines of a telecom conference in Toronto.
Critics say without limits on how much spectrum incumbents can buy, deeper pockets will let them maintain a chokehold. The three control 95 percent of the wireless market.
The newcomers -- Globalive's Wind Mobile, Mobilicity and Public Mobile -- offer lower prices, especially for talk and text packages, that appeal to budget-conscious urban customers.
They say established carriers hoard their plentiful spectrum and should be blocked from buying as much as they want of the 700 MHz frequency, seen as valuable for its ability to travel long distances and penetrate thick structures.
All three major Canadian operators are building advanced Long Term Evolution wireless networks. Each hints that their expansion into less profitable rural areas is dependent on getting more spectrum.
"This idea that we are using it (spectrum) for anti-competitive purposes is malarkey," Engelhart said. "We are using all of the spectrum we've got, all of our supplies are being used for our current LTE build."
"The reason they want that spectrum is to put it up for sale," Engelhart said of the newcomers. Continued...

Company Capabilities Tool
Whilst a thorough evaluation of the product is necessary, it is equally important that the credentials and capability of the potential supplier be established.
This is particularly so with seating which is the most visible and yet one of the last items to be included in a stadium/arena. Should a problem become apparent, switching suppliers is rarely an option given the extensive manufacturing lead-times. Since a major event often marks the opening of a venue, incomplete seating results in some very red faces.
Click to expand:
Track Record: A measure of expertise, performance and reputation. How long has the company been in business?
After Sales Service: Ability and commitment to service contract after installation. Confidence that the company will remain in business to supply spares throughout the product lifecycle.
Contract Scope: Degree of control and ownership supplier has of provided goods i.e. does supplier manufacture and market/distribute all provided goods or is he purely a distributor of certain items. Does the tendering company have the IP rights for the product offered? This can impact on contractual risk as well as ongoing ability to supply parts.
Project Management Skills: Provision of dedicated focused resources. Ability to plan, coordinate and execute the manufacture, logistical and installation components of the project. Ability to work cooperatively and coordinate with other trades.
Financial Capability: Has the supplier capacity to cash flow the project? What is the potential of the supplier to remain in business?
Manufacturing Resources: What are the company's manufacturing, storage and logistical capabilities? Does the company have quality accreditation?
Supplier Relations: It is important that the company have strong relationships with key suppliers – polypropylene, steel, fabric, galvanizing and installer. A weak link can create risk (quality or lead-time).
References: Has the supplier provided positive references from credible operators, owners and builders.
Professional Services: CAD and R&D facilities – particularly important in identifying possible problems and dealing with unforeseen issues.
Trade Terms: Ability to negotiate favourable terms
Corporate Citizen: Company ethics, OH&S policy, Quality
Local Representation: Ease and speed of communication after contract completion.

Target: British Prime Minister David Cameron
Goal: Commend Prime Minister's pledge to end female genital mutilation
British Prime Minister David Cameron recently announced what he is calling the largest-ever international investment to end female genital mutilation. The drive, spearheaded with a 25 million pound investment from Britain, aims to reduce this heinous practice by 30% over the next five years, and eradicate the procedure completely within a generation. It is estimated that this practice has been performed on as many as 140 million women worldwide. Prime Minister Cameron should be lauded for setting this lofty, yet attainable goal.
Female genital mutilation is most prevalent in Africa, but it also occurs throughout the Middle East, South Asia and South America. It has even followed immigrant populations to Europe, Oceania and North America, with 24,000 girls reportedly at risk of being sent abroad for this procedure in Britain alone, where the practice is banned.
There is much optimism that this work will be successful. However, there will be difficulties, especially in countries like Gambia, where female genital mutilation is still legal and roughly 78% of the female population undergoes the procedure. Even in other countries where it is illegal, there is intense pressure for parents to have their children to carry on the tradition and the practice is still seen as making a woman more attractive for marriage. By signing this petition you are condemning this practice, and commending Prime Minister Cameron for spearheading the effort to eradicate this procedure worldwide.
Dear Prime Minister David Cameron,
I am writing you this letter today to thank you for your pledge to eradicate the world of the abomination that is female genital mutilation. This terrible practice has gone on far too long, and I commend your pledge of both effort and funds to stop this procedure from happening.
It is estimated that as many as 140 million women have had this procedure done to them worldwide, and that is completely unacceptable. Lowering the rates by 30% and eradicating the practice completely by the end of this generation is a lofty, yet attainable goal, and I thank you for your efforts.

Crowdfunding is the new way to raise money for a personal cause on JustGiving.
Our little 2 year old cat Rascal has been diagnosed with a heart murmur, and also has fluid on his lungs. He how needs another procedure costing £515 to help diagnose why he is suddenly so sick. Up to 5 weeks ago he was a normal 2 year old cat, in this time we have used up all our available money on vets bills, x-rays, medicine. Now we just need a bit of help so we can make our baby boy better. Any help will be massively appreciate. Thank you for reading.
