Is This The End of Science And Religion As We Know It?
Why have scientists from all over the world been reviewing the findings of the Tempt Destiny experiment and why does this brief News Release about the findings have scientists so concerned? Could the flaw revealed regarding the scientific method mark the end of speculative scientific discoveries?
Since we can not act in violation of the laws that govern our existence and we now have unambiguous empirical evidence that there are only two such laws, how can there exist a deity that is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient? Either nature's two origin laws are not necessary for our existence, which can be tested via the Final Selection Thought Experiment in real life (see below), or our beliefs of a single origin are wrong.
WARNING: Since the findings are unambiguous, opinions of what we thought we knew will now need to be revised like when it was discovered that the Earth is not flat or at the center of the universe. If you are not able to handle such information, you need not read any further.
How Art, Football Fans, And The Big Game Helped Discover Einstein's Nonlocal Hidden Variables
This is a true story of how football fans and the SB helped me to discover Einstein's nonlocal hidden variables or what some might call the origin variables of first cause. In layman terms, the unambiguous findings confirm how events are caused are indeed predetermined. In physics, the findings confirm that the universe is super-deterministic.
I once asked a five year old child if she knew what an experiment was. She replied, "To test something". I then asked her if she could do an experiment without first choosing to do so? She looked at me puzzled, and then replied with a sharp tone of sarcasm, "Of course not. What kind of stupid question is that?"
Indeed, it would be unfortunate to overlook how fundamental the acts of selection are to conducting a simple art experiment as conducted here at TemptDestiny.com and even more so if conducting a multibillion dollar science experiment. As the five year old child clearly understood, you cannot conduct an experiment, any experiment, without first making a selection. This simple premise served as the construct of the Tempt Destiny experiment. The unambiguous empirical evidence obtained from this experiment has confirmed that the mechanics of selection are predetermined in nature. When I began this experiment I believed that we have free will. However, the findings show that my opinions of free will meant nothing when it comes down to nature itself. In other words, the unequivocal empirical findings show that free will is an illusion. Allow me to explain.
From 2000-2012 football fans voted 24/7 online each year to have their team on the next Tempt Destiny billboard in support of their team's SB bid. The two previous billboards I created prior to the experiment were in support of SB XXI, and SB XXV championship victories, a two-for-two record that served as the benchmark for this experiment. I wanted to see if a selection made without me would obtain the same effects as twice before. In order to do this, the team with the most votes would determine the selection event. Since you can't support a team's SB bid if they will not be competing, the selection made also needed to pair with the potential of that team competing in the SB. The pairing event of an act with one potential state is what I call a direct selection. In the last three years of the experiment, I added the option if the direct selection event did not occur then an indirect selection (pairing an act with more-than-one potential state) would be made if one of the two SB bound teams had more votes than the other. As the unambiguous empirical evidence has shown, the two acts of selection are mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive dichotomies, as such, requires the simultaneous existence of both a selection and their potentials for either dichotomy and their subsequent effects to come to exist.
Because these acts are fundamental to our existence, you do not need to have an opinion from a scientist or conduct multibillion dollar science experiments to understand what a five year old child easily understood. Case in point, the findings show that energy and the two acts of selection are one and the same. So in order to prove that the findings are invalid simply conduct one of the following:
- Conduct any experiment without first making a selection. (five year old child figured this one out)
- Make a calculation without first making a selection. (so much for the universe being built on mathematics)
- Continue your existence on this planet without making a selection. (Final Selection Thought Experiment)
HOW TO CONTEST THE UNAMBIGUOUS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE – Final Selection Thought Experiment
Let's say that one morning upon awakening you find yourself absent of the ability to choose. This means you cannot choose to move your body whatsoever. You cannot choose to take in any fluids. You cannot choose to take in any nourishment. You cannot choose to relieve yourself, et cetera. Nor can you have others indirectly choose for you. The outcome is absolute. The effect of a physical system to no longer have the capacity to make direct selections is certain death. The assumption that selection is some sort of option, a freedom of will, is unsubstantiated by the fact that this predetermined mechanism we call choice is how energy works, which is a fundamental necessity, not a metaphysical option, of our physical existence. In other words, when the origin variables of selection come to exist, energy exists, for they are one and the same. As the findings show, we have the ability to choose because we do not have the ability to not choose in order to exist.
Application of the Tempt Destiny findings published in a peer-reviewed fundamental physics journal:
Assumed Higgs Boson Discovery Proved Einstein Right
Is Particle Physics Valid? - Crime Scene Investigation
The cornerstone of the scientific method necessitates that cause of a predicted effect is singular. If cause is not singular, then predicting effects to establish cause will always be ambiguous regardless of repeatability.
The scientific method is based on the logic of causality being effectual. It uses prediction of effects in order to obtain empirical evidence to substantiate its theories. This method of investigation is no different than assuming that all brake-ins (effects) are caused by burglars (effects), i.e., effect causing effect, which places effect prior to cause. For example, you come home after a weekend holiday to find your front door has been broken-in (effect). You call the cops to launch an investigation to find out who violated your domicile. They arrest a known burglar (cause) living next door who couldn't account for his whereabouts at the time of the break-in. He even has some of your stuff that you forgot you loaned to him and BINGO - case solved!
Later, you find out that a family member, who had been drinking heavily that weekend, had broken into your house realized that he was at the wrong house and decided to go to his home without telling you of what he did.
Without knowledge of cause you can only make assumptions. In a peer reviewed fundamental physics journal article "Assumed Higgs Boson Discovery Proved Einstein Right", I applied this knowledge which revealed an omission error in the empirical method of conducting particle collision experiments. Without knowledge of how the particle collision effects were caused, data obtained without such knowledge is ambiguous and thus subject to speculation (see "The Challenge" link).
The multibillion dollar Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) from 1998 to 2008 was constructed in such a way that empirical evidence obtained is unavoidably bias by omission of which type of selection event (direct or indirect) caused which particle collision effect, an error that can only produce inconclusive evidence. This means that the LHC cannot be used to validate various theories of particle and high-energy physics for which it was designed. Yet somehow, the LHC was used to validate the discovery of the Higgs boson (a.k.a. God Particle) in 2013 which also gained the Nobel Prize in physics that same year?
For the Higgs boson discovery to be valid, particle collisions must take place without a selection event first being made in order for there to be no bias by omission. When CERN physicist, Adam Jacholkowski, was challenged to prove if such an event could indeed take place, he responded:
"@ Manuel You write, "...to prevent the particle beams from intersecting in order to prevent the selection events from happening. If you still have collision effects then the two acts of selection did not cause the particle collision effects and you would have proven my findings invalid." OK, but this is something we are doing routinely when the beam is lost accidentally, when testing the apparatus without beam (noise study), when collecting cosmics in our apparatus for the calibration purpose (alignment), when there is only one circulating beam in the accelerator (for beam-gas background study) etc. In all these cases we do not see any event of interest from the physics point of view that is we do not observe any kind of collisions. So what is your conclusion in this case?"
My response, "You have validated my findings". Indeed, as the five year old child clearly understood, an experiment cannot be conducted without a selection first being made. As confirmed by CERN physicist, Adam Jacholkowski, the same holds true for particle collision experiments which cannot take place without the selection event of two particle beams intersecting. And so by not accounting for which type of mutually exclusive selection event (direct or indirect) caused the particle collision effects, by scientific standards, a discovery cannot be made or founded on bias by omission.
Given the turn of events I am compelled to ask, is bias by omission the new accepted standard for scientific discoveries? If so, then why bother with the pretense of conducting experiments at all since such bias can only lead back to conjecture, not to the advancement of knowledge.
What this all comes down to is that science is built on a house of cards which is how it should be in order for discoveries to be made. The discovery of Einstein's nonlocal hidden variables has revealed that nature is indeed super-deterministic. Unfortunately, and by necessity, the implications of this discovery also compromises the very validity of science based on single cause (see - Without Knowledge Of First Cause Can Science "Correctly" Predict Effect?). Case in point, quantum physicist Anton Zeilinger's comment:
"[W]e always implicitly assume the freedom of the experimentalist... This fundamental assumption is essential to doing science. If this were not true, then, I suggest, it would make no sense at all to ask nature questions in an experiment, since then nature could determine what our questions are, and that could guide our questions such that we arrive at a false picture of nature." see – Superdeterminism
The good thing out of all of this is that science is not dogma and so can adapt to new information and correct itself accordingly as it has done in the past. The question is, with so much money, ego, and reputations at stake, will it?
2015 Condensed Matter Physics Convention
Due to the historical importance of the discovery of Einstein's nonlocal hidden variable, I have been invited to present my findings at the 2015 Condensed Matter Physics convention in Boston this upcoming June.
More news to come...
Without Knowledge Of First Cause Can Science "Correctly" Predict Effect?
The unambiguous empirical evidence obtained in the 12 year Tempt Destiny experiment has revealed that there is a fundamental problem with the scientific method of using statistical ensemble as empirical evidence to substantiate scientific theories. As revealed in the "Assumed Higgs Boson Discovery Proved Einstein Right" article, in order for 'any' experiment to be conducted a selection must 'first' be made. Yet, as obvious as to the importance of the first cause acts of selection are to the existence of the events that follow, they are simply overlooked as cognitive acts (metaphysical notions) instead of mechanical acts and thus become hidden variables.
From 2000 to 2012, football fans were invited to vote online 24/7 throughout the entire year for their team to appear on the next Tempt Destiny (TD) billboard. The two previous billboards were in support of SB XXI, and SB XXV championship victories, a two-for-two record that served as the benchmark for this experiment. (Note, the artwork presented on the billboards was left unfinished so that if the team completed their season by winning the SB, the artwork could then be completed by painting the football silver to reflect the trophy won.)
Here's the catch: The team with the most votes would also need to go to the SB in order for the selection to be complete since the sole purpose of the artwork/billboard is in support of a SB victory. This pairing of a single selection with a single potential would then give us a direct selection event. In the experiment, a direct selection had been obtained each year. However, only once out of twelve annual attempts did the selection made pair with its potential (1), versus no selection pairing (0):
[000000010000] - Direct Selection Events
What this means is that the act of selection does not preexist because it is a part of a dichotomy which necessitates the simultaneous existence of its potential for the effect of a selection to come into existence.
In the last three years of the experiment, I added the option if the direct selection event did not occur then an indirect selection (pairing a selection with more-than-one potential) would be made if one of the two SB bound teams had more votes than the other. We had 3 out of 3 indirect pairing events. After reviewing the results of each annual experiment, if we had conducted only indirect selection events for the entire 12 year span we would have had 12 out of 12 indirect selections which would also include the direct selection event:
[111111111111] - Indirect Selection Events
Now lets factor in their effects. The effectual state of a selection of only one potential is certain/deterministic for there is only one potential selected (single slit). We had 3 out of 3 direct selections (2 prior to the experiment, SB XXI and SB XXXV) all with "identical" results. The effectual state of a selection of more than one potential is uncertain/nondeterministic for there are more than one potential selected (double slit). We had 3 indirect selections with "different" results (SB XLIV, SB XLV, SB XLVI). During the 12 year span we had 4 selection "pairing" events, 1 direct and 3 indirect:
[1011] - Observed Effects of the Selections made (not in order)
Without knowledge of cause, can you correctly guess which effect (1) was caused by the mutually exclusive direct selection? And even if you think you could guess correctly, how would you know since the effects from a direct selection or from an indirect selection will appear to be the same, e.g., [111111111111]?
Knowledge of statistical ensemble/data without knowledge of cause can only provide incomplete knowledge of reality for there are two mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive first cause variables in nature. The second cause logic of placing cause second to effects (effect causing effect) gives us a false sense of first cause (cause and effect). As it stands, empirical evidence based on the second cause logic of effectual causality or reasoning/beliefs based on effectual causality are indistinguishable in regards to validity for both are based on conjecture. In science, evidence based on an assumption is a speculation, not a discovery.
First Cause and the Theory of Everything
The Theory of Everything is a theory that fully explains and links together all known physical phenomena, and predicts the outcome of any experiment that could be carried out in principle. Since there has never been or ever will be an experiment conducted without a selection first being made, we can predict the outcome (determined or undetermined states) of any experiment that could be carried out in principle with absolute precision. When we apply this newfound knowledge of energy consisting of two mutually exclusive causal functions as exhibited in the "Spin States of Selection" article, we can then unify the states of spin, once thought to be exclusive to quantum mechanics, with the mechanical functions of direct and indirect selection in their proper order. In doing so, we find that the pairing characteristics of the two causal acts of selection correspond with the pairing characteristics (attraction) of gravity which in turn causes the effects of the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces. Thus, direct selection gives us the strong electromagnetic gravitational force and indirect selection gives us the weak electromagnetic gravitational force, which reconciles gravity with the laws of quantum physics to produce a complete and self-consistent theory of quantum gravity, i.e., the theory of everything, as one super-deterministic force — E = G2.
As theoretical physicists John S. Bell once predicted, "The only alternative to quantum probabilities, superpositions of states, collapse of the wave function, and spooky action at a distance, is that everything is superdetermined. For me it is a dilemma. I think it is a deep dilemma, and the resolution of it will not be trivial; it will require a substantial change in the way we look at things."
Perhaps it is time we look at things via cause and effect instead of effects causing effects in order to better understand our existence. With knowledge of what is first cause, the things that we thought we knew and the theories and ideologies based on second cause are now questionable. Obviously, I can only briefly touch upon the implications of the discovery of Einstein's hidden variables here for this topic would require a book(s) to try to attempt to encompass the ramifications of this knowledge. In the meantime, thank you for allowing me to share this discovery with you.

Unseen Chapter E I G H T
Posted by bonesiii , May 03 2010 · 148 views
Bionicle Paracosmos
Today the Bones Blog continues with the final few chapters of Unseen, the Bionicle Paracosmos short epic slow-reveal of the winner of the Monster Mystery Art contest. Chapter 8 is 8 pages long, rather than the 6 average of the previous chapters. There will most likely be three more chapters plus an epilogue.
Taureko and Mohrook have just been blasted out of a Coliseum window by the Trickster villain, after trying to send a citywide broadcast to me…
Taureko took only a second to get a snapshot of his surroundings. A stone desk fell just above him. A cloud of broken glass obscured his view of everything but the Coliseum.
The Onu-Matoran had to be falling below Taureko.
The Ko-Matoran called on his Noble Mask of Flight – which he could use thanks to a Brotherhood experiment from the days when he was a Lab Matoran – and sped up his fall.
He flew downwards faster than the glass.
His mind took another snapshot, a still image of Mohrook below him against a rushing, terrifying background.
Mohrook grabbed his right hand, and Taureko flew to the side, afraid of the desk.
But the ground was coming up too fast.
Taureko reached out for the Coliseum's wall.
Left hand scraped against it. Absorbed impact energy. That added to the impact he'd absorbed from the Trickster's Kanoka Arrow.
Held his hand down. Shot impact energy downward, slowing their fall.
The desk hurtled past.
Knicked Mohrook. "Aaah!" Both Matoran spun, midair. Taureko lost sight of Mohrook.
Felt his hand slip.
In the next moment, Taureko saw only the zooming side of the Coliseum, and knew he didn't feel Mohrook's hand anymore.
Just a split second later, a hand clasped his right foot.
But the danger wasn't over. Mohrook doubled his weight – the Noble mask wasn't designed to handle this much of a load. They continued to fall, just a bit slower.
Taureko tried to fly upwards to counter the weight now that the desk was no longer a threat.
This slowed their fall still more.
He glanced down.
The ground around the Coliseum was a crisscrossing mess of canals, bridges, and small buildings. The canals!
Flew sideways. Over a canal, just barely. A bridge whooshed up, just missed them.
Taureko surfaced moments later, blowing water out of his mouth. He saw brown stone canal walls looming over dancing water. Saw a dustcloud over the top of the wall closest to the Coliseum – the crash of the stone desk, he presumed. One of the suns glared off the water downstream, so he couldn't see if Mohrook was that way… he wasn't anywhere else…
Then there was a sputtering sound behind him. Taureko kicked the water to circle, and saw Mohrook treading water behind him.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Mohrook took a moment to answer, breathing deep for a moment. "I was out for a moment when we hit, but yeah."
They swam to the nearest metal ladder and climbed out.
Once atop the canal wall, they surveyed the impact of the stone desk. There was only a crater in a patch of garden by one of the Coliseum's entrance, plus a darker dust settled atop the brown earth of the crater. The scene glittered from hundreds of pieces of glass.
Mohrook turned his scoped mask to the skyline. "You think Hujo got our message?"
Taureko sighed. "If he did, I didn't notice any Blue Fire flares while I was falling… not that my mind was on that… We probably missed any response he gave us."
But I was still unconscious in Ta-Metru after narrowly escaping the Unseen monster. So before I return to my perspective, we rejoin the unfolding events revolving around Turaga Dume, atop the Coliseum, as seen through the eyes of the cloaked Unknown…
Volitaos watched the apparently insane red Turaga pace the room in silence for several minutes.
He had watched a confusing and shocking turn of events in the last few moments, which Dume refused to explain. First, he'd seen Dume alerted to the attacks of the Unseen in Le-Metru, and seem not to care. Then he'd seen the Turaga obsess madly over a strange blocky key he'd retrieved from his quarters. Then the Trickster's pet Throughrunner Beetle, Kobahko, had stolen, apparently, another key just like it… and Dume retrieved the third.
Dume then had the Turaga turn their round meeting table on eight spokes, and went on a smashing spree – smashing a mask right on Vakama's face, smashing potted plants.
As if this wasn't crazy enough, when Taureko and Mohrook had arrived, Dume had refused to let them carry out their mission, begging them to retrieve two vats for him.
What's in the vats?
He walked up to the other Unknown in the room. Caroha had warned him a moment to say this would come, though he never could have predicted the events that would lead up to it, simple as it had seemed when the Unknown leader had told him of her vision.
"Caroha says follow the guards," Volitaos – the invisible Unknown – whispered in the ear of Surkahi – the visible Unknown.
The Miru-wearing shapeshifter gave a tiny nod none of the Turaga noticed. Volitaos stepped away, satisfied… and curious to find out what his message even meant.
Dume finally stopped pacing. "Taureko and Mohrook may disobey my orders… I will be lenient, since neither are Metru Nui citizens… This time. But the vats MUST be retrieved."
"I will do it," Surkahi volunteered, "if you simply explain what they're for."
Dume's face turned into rage in an instant. Volitaos cringed. Surkahi shouldn't have pushed. "GET OUT OF HERE!" Dume shouted at the shapeshifter. "This is my business, the business of this city! If outsiders will not play by my rules, then GO OUTSIDE!"
Surkahi tried to look apologetic, but Dume just stared at him, finger pointed (arm shaking madly) at the door.
Volitaos took a guess based on Caroha's warning, and whispered in Surkahi's ears again. "Leave. I'll watch him."
"Very well," Surkahi said, sighing. "But I will be in the Coliseum if you choose to summon me back."
"I won't. Go."
So he left. Dume slammed the door shut behind him. Then turned to the other Turaga, who all looked like they were trying to hide their honest feelings of disgust for their superior's actions.
"Let wisdom alone play the role of the wise," Dume muttered. "So as I was saying. We will handle this ourselves, as a city. No more Unknown, no more 'Freers.'"
"Sir," Turaga Takanuva started.
Vakama held up a hand sharply, giving the younger Turaga a look that said, 'wrong time, wrong speaker.' The elder of light fell silent.
"Thank you," Dume said to Vakama, smiling faintly. "Let's all remember our places."
"Now that we're amongst ourselves," Turaga Nokama said softly, "do you advise telling us any part of your plan to thwart the Trickster that we can help on, sir?"
Volitaos shook his head, rather pointlessly, in amazement at how tactful the Water elder could be, after Dume's behavior especially.
But Dume just waved a hand dismissively at her. "I think we all know we're not really alone. Right, Volitaos?!" The elder spun in a circle, looking around the whole room, as if expecting to see a faint outline of the Unknown.
Volitaos clenched his fists. As a more powerful version of the Mask of Stealth, the Kanohi Volitak he was named for made him literally, totally, undetectable. Dume did not see him, thankfully. But to what lengths might Dume go to make sure they were alone?
He started to get his answer the next moment. "Line up on one side of the room," Dume ordered the others, "And join hands. We'll walk across the room."
The others reluctantly obeyed.
Volitaos had to admit, it was a clever plan, although easily foiled by becoming a ceiling-climber creature. He moved up the opposite wall, gripping the room's bulkheads gently, and hung from the girders that held up the wide ceiling.
As the Turaga cross the room, climbing over the table when they reached it, Volitaos had to admit, if Dume was sane enough to come up with this plan… if misdirected… maybe the elder actually was sane enough to understand and plan for the Trickster situation?
But what about the Unseen?
Dume claimed the Unseen monster was only a distraction. And knowing the Trickster from his deceptive history with Metru Nui, that made sense. But to the Matoran captured by the monster, it was hardly a distraction. Tamaru and Kuhauha deserved all attention being turned to their rescue.
The problem for Volitaos, really, was that Dume refused to give him all the pieces to the puzzle the fire elder knew of. What was the table? What were the keys for?
All he knew about such things was that there was a keyhole in the table, and Dume had combined the two keys he had into one interlocking key, put it in that keyhole, and turned. This had triggered the table's eight spokes to reveal themselves mechanically… then the Turaga had turned the table.
His chain of reasoning was cut short by the Turaga crossing the room. "Well," Dume said, "If he's here, he's on the ceiling. I have a plan to get him now." The elder gripped his staff tightly.
For a moment, Volitaos feared the Turaga would actually start throwing his staff around…
Then the elder turned to a computer console mounted in the wall behind him, and pressed a button. He spoked quietly into the Coliseum intercom system. Volitaos couldn't hear what he said from here. Had all the drama been meant only to keep Volitaos's ears away?
Volitaos became a long-legged insectoid form, and walked over to the huge window that formed one of the four walls of the room. He had an idea of a form that would probably fool a possible staff-throwing plan.
When he was against the window, he spread himself out, widening and thinning, against the glass. More, and more. He also actually compressed his volume, though his actual weight stayed the same.
Soon he was simply a paper thin, invisible layer added to the glass. It would take an extremely careful eye, even if a hand was pressed against the glass, to realize the layer was even there.
The door opened.
If Volitaos had wanted to slip out, he realized, he was about to lose his opportunity.
Five guards entered. One was a Miru-wearing Ta-Matoran he recognized as Tlenoh, one of the most skilled guards among all the Metru Nui Matoran.
Dume whispered something in Tlenoh's ear.
Volitaos shapeshifted an invisible ear on a long, flexible stalk. Stretched the ear towards the unexpected huddle…
"…a direct order." Dume was saying.
Whatever the order had been, Tlenoh's face registered confusion, or some similar emotion, only for a split second. Then the guard stood there, looking Dume calmly in the eyes. Volitaos couldn't be sure since Dume's back was to him, but he sensed that the Turaga actually feared the skilled guard.
"Yes, sir," Tlenoh said. The Ta-Matoran held Dume's gaze for a moment, then calmly turned away, motioning at the other four guards to follow.
Should I leave?
No. Caroha had probably been talking about this very moment in her vision. Surkahi was to follow the guards. Volitaos was to remain.
But were those the guards to be followed?
Surkahi had been kicked out by a plant-smashing Turaga.
He was now a potted plant, just outside the door.
The ancient being had to admit he was being a bit childish and spiteful by taking this form. Caroha would certainly say the choice was unbecoming of a wise, grandfatherly being like himself. But it had been about that long since he'd been so disrespected by anyone.
In any case, he now had a dilemma. Two groups of guards had just come into his sight.
First, Tlenoh and four other guards had come, entered the Meeting Room, then left. Three remained posted at the door, while Tlenoh and one other guard left alone.
But before they left, five other guards ran up, led by a female Po-Matoran named Jerabu. "Stand aside!" she told the other group of guards. "We have news for the Turaga!"
"Dume has forbidden any entry into this room for the moment," Tlenoh said.
"It's urgent. Taureko and Mohrook are here, and they just tried to broadcast on the citywide! We saw the broadcast on one of the hallway screens. Then something cut them off!"
Tlenoh looked worried. But he replied calmly, "Dume insisted even if there were rumors of an attack in this building, nobody may enter. I assume he fears the Trickster is going to try some deception… shapeshifting maybe."
As far as Surkahi knew, Raogahk did not have shapeshifting powers. But then, the Trickster was always collecting strange artifacts… it was worth preparing against, he supposed.
"Well," Jerabu said, "According to Dume's new roster, you outrank me. What shall we do?"
Surkahi knew that was a difficult statement for the sand-colored Matoran to make. She didn't like answering to any rank, not even Dume. But all guards believed in Duty.
"The five of you investigate it," Tlenoh said. "And Surkahi? If you're still around here somewhere, I recommend you go with them. I doubt it's the Unseen, but if it's the Trickster, it's just as much a threat."
Surkahi almost nodded… then thought better of it.
"Why aren't you coming?" Jerabu asked.
"Dume sent me and Vira on a secret mission," the Ta-Matoran said. And with that, he walked away. The Le-Matoran Vira followed.
Jerabu and the four guards left too, heading the opposite way in the hallway.
Surkahi answered to no Matoran rank, but he agreed with Tlenoh's motives for telling him to go with Jerabu's group. Whatever happened in the broadcast studio, they might need someone with his powers for protection.
But the childish, suspicious side of him… the side that both shocked him and made him feel alive… told him to find out what Dume's mission was.

Today, at noon EST, chiropractor Dr. William Thornton interviewed me on the Inglewood, California-based radio station, KTYM 1460 am, on the show, "Natural Health Clinic."
Dr. Bill quizzed me about my sugar addiction days and my former demeanor as a "Sugar Shrew" and about the minimal support I received upon kicking sweets and about the dangers of over-consuming these low-caliber foods.
We then discussed how you can drastically improve your health just by cutting out these culprit carbs. He also let me spread the word about how I'm helping people through my Fast-Track, Kick-Sugar Countdown Program.
I then made an offer just to the show's listeners to get in free to this Thursday's tele-seminar with Nancy Appleton, author of Lick the Sugar Habit.
Questions? Just post here on the blog and I'll get back to you.
The radio show will be aired in other markets around the country as well.

The pace of wind power development is expected to speed up later this year as a result of the extension of the wind-energy Production Tax Credit, experts said. The number of new installations is likely to slump in the first half of 2013, due "to the fact that the extension took so long to get passed," said Tim Maag, vice president and general manager at Mortenson Construction.

Your #lovecapetown weekend: What's on from Wednesday 27 May to Sunday 31 May, 2015
Rob PetersCape Town is a golfer's paradise with an abundance of world class golf courses to choose from across the Mother City. From parkland courses to links layouts, the needs of all golfers will be satisfied – and then some – whether they are professionals or rookie hackers. So get ready to come out swinging on the most epic golfing weekend ever!
Cape Town's Church Street and all its charmIT'S just a tiny little pocket of the Cape Town CBD but it's jam packed with interesting things to see and do. I'm talking about Church Street between Long and Burg streets.
Museums to visit in Cape Town City Centre
Rob PetersCape Town is a cultural hub and where the history of the country really began, so you can bet we have plenty of both to offer visitors. The Mother City's history is rich – and at times tragic – and is has a number of world class museums that offer up a treasure trove to the past – both the good and the bad. A number of these museums are located in the city centre – all within walking distance of each other – and together offer a view as diverse and entertaining as the city itself.
Hello weekend: A tantalising food weekend in Cape TownThis past weekend was filled with many delicious meals. Not only was our Tastescape weekend and the Good Food and Wine Show, but it looks like everyone got out and about in Cape Town to experience what the various restaurants had to offer. Here's a look at some great Instagram food finds from this past weekend.

Kevin, how bad were you freaking last night?
Thanks for starting the thread, Big. I was pooping rocks (per Rubie Sue on 'Christmas Vacation') late in the game. Glad the convict could 'bail' us out and put the game into OT. I was fully expecting another 'chokie' moment. I rant about it year after year but still can't figure out why Beamer can't open up the offense and/or recruit the athletes for a pro style offense. They get practically every good player in VA and snag a lot from Maryland, NC, TN, PN, OH but refuse to run a high output offense. The D has always been there, so why not open things up? I agree with Mik that Clemson should be a tougher out for FSU (and vice versa), though you never know.
Bama looks nasty. When you lose 7 D starters (and 6 are playing in the NFL right now-unreal), your D shouldn't be as good as Bama's.
I share Rabbit's pain RE playing in the SEC...watched my Cats kick off another cellar dwellar season by dropping a pile against Lville on Sunday. Have fun this year, Joker...might be your last.
I'm hoping Oregon or USC gets through the season undefeated, as I really want to see another Pac 12/SEC title game.

JEREZ: Honda's Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo of Yamaha will battle it out for home bragging rights at the Spanish Grand Prix tomorrow, while reigning world champion Casey Stoner will be out to end his Spanish jinx.
Lorenzo won the opening MotoGP race of the 2012 season in Qatar ahead of Pedrosa, with Australian Stoner in third, and he has a strong attachment to the Jerez circuit.
"I won twice here in 250 and twice also in MotoGP (2010 and 2011), and also my second podium came here in MotoGP in 2008 so we can say that Jerez is one of my favourite tracks, and one of the tracks which is quite adapted to my riding style," Lorenzo said.
"I expect Casey and especially Dani to be very fast.
"Qatar was a perfect start to our season, now we get to race in front of our home fans, I will try to make sure we make a good show for them. Let's hope it doesn't rain this year."
Pedrosa also has a distinct liking for Jerez, which is expected to host a total of 240,000 spectators over the course of the three days.
Making his 100th premier class start tomorrow, the Spaniard has visited the podium in Jerez in the last seven years with two victories (2005 and 2008) and five runner-up places.
"I love the Jerez circuit and the passionate support of the Spanish fans, I hope the grandstands are full again as it adds to the unique atmosphere there," said Pedrosa.
"We had a great race in Qatar and to start the season on the podium is important, but we cannot relax, we will be aiming for another strong race this weekend."
If the two Spaniards can fall back on happy memories to boost their confidence levels for tomorrow's race, Stoner has had nothing but grief from his past appearances at the Anadalucia circuit.
The 26-year-old world champion has won 33 races since beginning his MotoGP career in 2006, but has only scored one podium at Jerez, when he finished third in 2009.
On top of that he has been struggling with an arm injury that affects his control of his bike.
Still Stoner feels that he can challenge the Spaniards on their own turf.
"After a difficult race in Qatar, I'm looking forward to Jerez. We had a very good pre-season test there, it's a track that hasn't been so good for me in the past so the fact we were able to hold a good pace there in testing has given us a lot of confidence," he said.
"Since Qatar I've been working on the arm pump issue I experienced in the race and it's definitely feeling better, we've treated it the same way as when I had it in 2010 at Silverstone so I'm hoping it won't be a problem for us this weekend".
Among the outsiders for tomorrow's race figure Britain's Cal Crutchlow (Yamaha), fourth in Qatar, and Germany's Stefan Bradl (Honda), eighth in Qatar, while top Ducati rider Nicky Hayden, the 2006 MotoGP world champion, will be aiming to better his sixth-placed finish in the Gulf state.
Ducati will also look for an improved showing from nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi who will become only the third rider in the 64-year history of motorcycle Grand Prix racing to reach the milestone of 200 starts in the premier-class, along with Alex Barros and Loris Capirossi.
Rossi, who placed 10th in Qatar, crashed here last year taking out Honda rival Stoner in the process. — AFP

When an Arab kid is arrested in the heart of Tel Aviv
The ugly Israeli is not the one who is filmed yelling at stewardesses or hotel receptionists. It is the one who lives in denial of an entire system that oppresses another people. The one who eats his ice cream as a Palestinian child is arrested right in front of him. By Mei-Tal Nadler A few weeks ago, just days before Israelis headed to the polls, an Arab teenager was arrested on Tel Aviv's famed Rothschild Boulevard at around 6 p.m. I have no idea who he is, what he did before he was arrested, where he came from or where…Read More... | 28 Comments

Guild Wars 2 Dropping Paid Tournaments
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on February 26, 2013 AT 04:02am
Posted on February 26, 2013 AT 04:02am
ArenaNet has decided to drop paid tournaments from Guild Wars 2 following the introduction of a ranked matchmaking system.
The earlier system was designed to keep higher level players fighting in the same brackets by charging for matches, however this new system does that automatically. The old system is now redundant and over complicated so ArenaNet has decided to remove it entirely.
Any players who have purchased tokens will have their money refunded.

Celiac.com 05/06/2014 - I love Indian food, but it's one of those things I almost never make at home, partly due to lack of confidence. Still good Indian food can be expensive, so when I found this recipe for chicken korma with vegetables, I was eager to give it a try.
This recipe for cicken vegetable korma came together fairly quickly and produced a tasty meal that went well with aromatic rice.
- 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced and loosely chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 potatoes, ½-inch sticks
- 4 carrots, ½-inch sticks

- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1½ tablespoons curry powder
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- ½ green bell pepper, seeded, chopped
- ½ red bell pepper, seeded, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro for garnish
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Stir in the onion, and cook until tender.
Mix in ginger and garlic, and continue cooking 1 minute.
Mix potatoes, carrots, jalapeño, cashews, and tomato sauce.
Season with salt and curry powder.
Cook and stir 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Stir peas, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and cream into the skillet.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro to serve with aromatic Indian style rice (see below).
Aromatic Indian-style Rice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, halved, thinly sliced
- 4 each whole cloves, whole peppercorns, whole cardamom pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cups long grain white rice (NOT the instant variety)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
Sauté onion in butter until golden brown.
Stir in spices, cook and stir 2 minutes.
Stir in rice, cook and stir 2 minutes.
Add broth and water, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer over low heat 20 minutes.
Fluff with fork and serve hot. Serves 4 to 6.

It has departments of occupational therapy, social work, cognitive behavioural therapy, clinical psychology and psychiatry. It offers day hospital, outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health services. The St. Patrick's Hospital Foundation raises funds for St. Patrick's.[5]
The hospital (originally St. Patrick's Hospital for Imbeciles)[6] was founded in 1747 with money bequeathed by Jonathan Swift following his death in 1745. He was keen that his hospital be situated close to a general hospital because of the links between physical and mental ill-health, so St. Patrick's was built beside Dr Steevens' Hospital. The architect was George Semple.[7]
In "Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift", the poet anticipated his own death:
He gave the little Wealth he had,
To build a House for Fools and Mad:I wish it soon may have a Better.[8]
And shew'd by one satyric Touch,
No Nation wanted it so much:
That Kingdom he hath left his Debtor,
Swift himself was declared of unsound mind by a Commission of Lunacy in 1742.[9][10] Will Durant said of him: "He went a whole year without uttering a word."[11]
The hospital retains Swiftian touches, with wards named after Stella (Esther Johnson), Vanessa (Esther Vanhomrigh), Henry Grattan, the village of Kilroot (in County Antrim) where Swift worked as Prebend at the church, and Laracor (County Meath) where he also worked as a clergyman.
The late Anthony Clare was medical director of St. Patrick's in the 1990s. Maurice Drury, a friend of Ludwig Wittgenstein, also worked there. The poet Austin Clarke was an in-patient in St. Patrick's for a year in 1919.

Transcriptional profiling in C. elegans suggests DNA damage dependent apoptosis as an ancient function of the p53 family

In contrast to the three mammalian p53 family members, p53, which is generally involved
in DNA damage responses, and p63 and p73 which are primarily needed for developmental
regulation, cep-1 encodes for the single
- p
Examining C. elegans expression profiles using whole genome Affymetrix GeneChip arrays, we found that 83 genes were induced more than two fold upon ionizing radiation (IR). None of these genes, with exception of an ATP ribosylase homolog, encode for known DNA repair genes. Using two independent cep-1 loss of function alleles we did not find genes regulated by cep-1 in the absence of IR. Among the IR-induced genes only three are dependent on cep-1, namely egl-1, ced-13 and a novel C. elegans specific gene. The majority of IR-induced genes appear to be involved in general stress responses, and qRT-PCR experiments indicate that they are mainly expressed in somatic tissues. Interestingly, we reveal an extensive overlap of gene expression changes occurring in response to DNA damage and in response to bacterial infection. Furthermore, many genes induced by IR are also transcriptionally regulated in longevity mutants suggesting that DNA damage and aging induce an overlapping stress response.
We performed genome-wide gene expression analyses which indicate that only a surprisingly small number of genes are regulated by CEP-1 and that DNA damage induced apoptosis via the transcriptional induction of BH3 domain proteins is likely to be an ancient DNA damage response function of the p53 family. Interestingly, although the apoptotic response to DNA damage is regulated through the transcriptional activity of CEP-1, other DNA damage responses do not appear to be regulated on the transcriptional level and do not require the p53 like gene cep-1.

My spayed female Manx cat has had a declining quality of life for the past year. She's undergone extensive testing for diabetes, hyperthyroid, FIV, etc and nothing was found. She's had vomiting and diarrhea daily. She's lost 50 percent of her weight in the past year. She's not using her litterbox and doesn't play or ask for belly rubs like she used to. She fights with the other cat more (we adopted them from the same Humane Society shelter on the same day 7 1/2 years ago).
This is the first time I've ever had to go through something like this. We had a cat before these two, and she was old and died a natural death. I found her body when I came home from work one day.
The cat is special to me. She'd only let me pet her for the first six months. She'd been shot with a bb gun and had bbs embedded in her. I had the vet remove them while she was under anesthesia for a dental procedure several years back.
Now not only do I have to deal with this, but I have to explain it to my kids. My 6.5 yo ODD somewhat understands- she's been to some funerals and such. My almost 3yo DS is clueless. The baby, is, well, a baby.
The other thing is, how will my other cat take it? He is a neutered tabby cat, 8.5 years old and healthy.
I've told ODD that Kitty is sick and in pain. The vet will give kitty a shot to make her pain go away. Kitty's heart will stop and she will die. It won't hurt and it will be fast. Kitty's body wore out and it no longer works like it should. The kitty can't do kitty things any more.
I'll have the cat cremated and get her ashes returned so we can do something special with them.
Has anyone else gone through this with little kids? How did you handle it? The appointment is in 2 hours and I'm going by myself, due to the ages of my kids. I don't want my kids to be scared of vets or think that the next shot they get is going to kill them, so I"m not using euphemisms like "put down to sleep" and such. I'm using medical-ish terms that are age appropriate (just like my son calls his penis a penis and not a winkie).

From the article: Milestones a NICU Baby Must Reach Before Discharge
NICU babies need to meet certain milestones before they can be discharged from the hospital. Parents wonder when they can bring their baby home, but doctors usually can't give a definite answer. Talking to other NICU parents can help moms and dads cope with having a baby in the hospital. How early was your baby? How long did your baby stay in the NICU? What were some of the roadblocks to discharge you faced?
6 weeks in NICU, getting nervous
- My son was born April 6, 2012. All has been okay, he is more than 7 lbs but he is not feeding from a bottle really. I know he is not due till 5.23.12 so I am told just to wait. He seems like he may have reflux but he just doesn't have interest in taking a bottle. He likes the breast but can't keep interested for long enough. So he ends up taking rest of feed through the tube. The time just drags. I wish there was something that can be done because I feel like there is underlying problem here. HELP.

25.6wkr Beautiful Miracle
- Nalani was born via crash c-section 8/19/2011 (water broke at 24wks) weighing 1lb 6ozs and 12 1/2inches long. We spent 106 days in the NICU. When I first saw her I was terrified & quietly thinking "how can such a tiny thing make it?".... My younger brother passed away at the same hospital 9 months earlier. I thought, "There's no way I can handle another loss." Nalani had breathing issues, heart rate issues, sespis (infection of the blood) and her body wouldn't produce red blood cells :'( At one point her left leg was considered for amputation due to circulatory issues from the changing of IV's so frequently eventually requiring the IV to be put in her head (broke my heart).... Four blood transfusions later she finally began to produce some blood :)... We were lucky for each accomplishment she made there were no backslides.... She amazes me so much. Shes very advanced with her development and now weighs 11 lbs 9ozs and is 24 inches long yayyyyy!!!

Baby David
- I am a mother off two preemie boys. With my first I went in labor 26 weeks. They were able to keep me pregnant till I was 34 weeks and he went home 3 days later. With my second I went in labor at 25 weeks exactly. He was born that night. We had many hurdles to jump and many scares. He was born 2 pounds. Against what we thought and were told our little miracle baby came threw and was able to come home in a little more then 3 months, all by himself no machines or anything. He is now a healthy almost two year old with very few delays.

Payton S.
- My son was born 04/12/12 @ 5 1/2 weeks premature. He was born 6lbs 5oz and 19inches long. He is still in the NICU and has been there for the past 8 days. He has been doing okay with feeding here and there and my wife and I thought that we would be bringing him home soon since he has been a few days out of incubator and has been eating somewhat well. However we received a phone call from the hospital tonight saying that his body temperature dropped some along with his heart beat so they had to put him back in the incubator. The nurse reassured us that this was normal and that he is still doing good but needs to get more rest. I am scared and keep praying every chance I get. Can't wait to bring him home.

27 wk old Preemie (:
- I went into labor 4/3. They gave me magnesium to stop my labor & steroid shots to help mature the baby's lungs, then I was taken off the magnesium & I went back into labor. I dialated 6 cms by midnight that night. Around 3 am the doctor went ahead and broke my water & I had my son at 4:32 weighing 2lbs 7oz & our journey began in the nicu. Within a week's span he was taken off everthing & he moved to the intermediate care. The only thing he has left is his little feeding tube. He has a few bradys every now & then which are scary, but other than that he's doing great. I thank God each & every day for the progress of my baby boy. Its been 16 days exactly and I'm not rushing him home. I want him to be a nice size before we leave the nicu (:

34w 5d
- I had my daughter 6 weeks early. She weighed 4lbs 7oz and spent 11 days in the NICU because she didn't want to eat...which they said was normal for preemie babies. She lost down to 3lbs 15oz but was back up to 4lbs 6oz when I brought her home. Now she is a very healthy 2 1/2 month old who is 8lbs...best wishes and prayers to families with babies in the NICU because its definitely not easy to see your baby have to go through that. I can only hope that you have as good of an experience as I did because the hospital staff was amazing.

Why the NICU isn't that bad
- My baby was only there for one week. I hated every moment and wanted him home with me. But now I realized all the benefits of it. Read more about my NICU baby here. You can find me at www.allmomsareperfect.com
- —Guest Ellen
My Baby Girl, Ashleyani
- They started me on antibitics and gave me a shot of the steroids. I've been here 2 wks already and still have one more to go. Dr explained that they're trying to keep me pregnant till I am 34 wks. He also told me that the point of that is to help the baby's growth. For every 1 day she is inside of me, she grows 2 days. By the time I deliver her at 34 wks she'll be developed like any other baby that is born 37-38 wks. The doctor told me yesterday that she would probably have to stay 3-6 wks in NICU, but I'm scared. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna feel weird coming home without the baby in my arms or my belly.
- —Guest Ashley
My Baby Girl , Ashleyani
- It helped a lot reading all of the stories. But I'm still worried and scared. I'm 21 years old and been a Diabetic Type 1 since age nine; today 33 weeks pregnant. My water broke March 30, 2012 at 10 am when I was only 30 weeks and 6 days. I woke up all wet and did not know what it was. After I checked myself and everything I knew I didn't pee myself. First thing I did was to jump in the shower. Next thing I know as I was putting cocoa butter lotion on, I feel another gush of water. That's when I knew there was something wrong. I never had a baby before or was pregnant before but the first thing that came to my mind was "my water broke." I called my OB quickly after that and he told me to go to the hospital where I was delivering, which was 30 minutes away. As soon as I arrived, they were wating for me with a room ready at the labor and delivery section. They checked me andtold me I was only 1/2 cm. dialated with some contractions, but not very strong.

- I had my daughter at 31 weeks in May last year and she was in nicu for 6 days.... :'( she didn't make it...... God bless her and I pray no one goes through what I experienced.

Born at home
- I had my baby girl Somaya at 32 weeks. She stayed in then nicu for 5 days. I had her at my brother's house. She weighed 4 pounds and 8 ounces. I thank God each and everyday.
- —Guest octavia
32 Weeks
- I was 31 weeks pregnant when my water broke. They kept me on fluids in the hospital for another week before I had to have my son via c-section. Born at 32 weeks exactly, he was 3 pounds 11 ounces. He was a little fighter though and had no trouble breathing or keeping warm. He just had to learn how to eat! We were able to take him home after 3 weeks! He just turned one a couple of days ago and has no set backs besides his size. He is normal height and a little skinny but he is walking, talking and eating us out of the house! I am now pregnant with our daughter. I'm at 29 weeks and just found out my cervix is only 1.7 cm thick. I am on bedrest and waiting to see if I can stop her from being too early too.
- —Guest Madison
Baby decided to come out at 34 weeks
- My son was born 6 weeks early. He had to spend 3 weeks in the NICU. For me it was very scary to see your baby wrapped in wires, but believe me NICU nurses are angels. They took care of him very well. My baby was on feeding tube for almost 3 weeks. One thing I wanted to tell people, yesterday I received my NICU bill and it is way too much but nothing is more important than my baby. But make sure you get a good insurance to cover all the NICU cost.
- —Guest Patil
25 week twins
- OH WOW. I love all these ideas. My twins are almost 1, born at 25 weeks 3 days on 12/30/2009 and I am quite active now at Alta Bates in my NICU afterlife. (I'm the parent liaison between the newly formed Family Advisory Council and their Partnership Council). We have a gift drive for families who will spend the holidays in the NICU. I will be sure to pass on these ideas to the kind folks there.
- —Guest JfxceyqVUVxKH
3 months early
- Thank you so much for posting this Dr. Jennifer! I voted for Obama busceae of his promises for Health Care Reform and I have gotten nothing but criticism. A major portion of that criticism from family members. As you know our son Ty was born 3 months early and was on oxygen for almost 2 years. I know we don't know everything that is involved with The Health Reform law, but we needed change and more importantly hope!

The stantions are very, very strong...
Same on my 1984 38... Chuckles, All I can think of is either a repair was done incorrectly in the past on your boat to the stanchions -or- things toward the end there at Irwin got a bit unpredictable and you may have been a victim of a design change. Also is it a regular Irwin 38 or a Citation 38? Bizarre. I can quite clearly see the block areas that my stanchions go into. I have not taken them apart to verify the pass through, but the conversations with Gene that I have had indicated the 38's had the same design as the others in this regard. I
talked to him on the phone about getting the stanchions re-bedded down at the "Irwin" marina as the last thing I get done to her before heading out for good...
My overall understanding is that the whole point of the 38s was to be a more "bluewater" version of the popular 37. Stronger designs and options like the switchblade keel etc. were all toward that end. Mine is built like a tank. Every mechanic that has touched her here in the Annapolis area has remarked on her construction. The surveyor also fell in love with her. I'm sorry your boat isn't the same experience as mine... Really, I am. I have read though that at the end the factory was throwing things together pretty willy-nilly after Irwin died and things were falling apart. All of this is conjecture of course, but I don't know what else could explain these glaring differences other than what I put forth above.

Parts are still available and there are a number of dealers. I am currently doing a rebuild on my 89' I bought last year and the only parts I have had to purchase from overseas are carb diaphragms (UK and they were here in two weeks). Others will have their favorite parts houses, I have had wonderful success with Cheap Cycle Parts.

As for the price, that seems to be a good range as my bike was at 47K in miles and it was $2000.00. Keep us posted if you get this and if you want to educate yourself...take the time to read this thread as everything you need to know about this bike and repairs/updates/suspension upgrades...

"I am holding the novel as a mirror before my people. Let them identify themselves and their history and reflect upon it''
Korkai, an epic novel in Tamil by Joe D'Cruz that captures the transformation in the life and society of fishermen in the Gulf of Mannar region between 1900s and 2000, has won him the Sahitya Akademi award for 2013.
"I never expected it. But I am happy because the award will turn my people's attention towards the novel, while it will also bring about a change in the opinion of people about fishermen," said D' Cruz, who started observing the life of fishermen as an altar boy in his native village of Uvari in Tirunelveli district.
The novel, the author's second, takes its title from Korkai, the ancient port of Pandiya kings in southern Tamil Nadu, which achieved prosperity through pearl fishing.
The story begins with the death of the king of the Paradavas, Don Michel D'Cruz. Paradavas are one of the ancient communities of the Tamil land and there are plenty of references to them in ancient Sangam literature. The king of the Paradavas was known as Pandiyapathy.
They converted to Catholicism in the 16th century as a token of gratitude to the Portugese, who helped them defeat attempts made by the Moors settled in Kayalpattinam to control pearl fishing. "They supplied guns and gun powder and the fishermen defended themselves with modern weapons," said D'Cruz.
However, according to him, in course of time, everything turned upside down, as the church and the British rulers gained control of their destiny.
Recalling an incident that propelled him to write the novel, D'Cruz said he was shattered to notice the ancient palace of Pandiyapathy in Thoothukudi, once the native land of the Paradavas, in a state of ruin.
There are too many characters to be remembered in the novel that runs to over 1,000 pages. The author portrays changes in society through the eyes of Philip Dhandal, a character that bears resemblance to the author. D'Cruz, born in a fishing hamlet, struggled his way to Loyola College in Chennai to do his postgraduation and M.Phil in Economics.
Like his first novel Aazhi Sool Ulagu, Korkai also is written in the local lingo. In the process, it contributes to the vocabulary hitherto unrecorded words pertaining to the Neithal land (Sea and the land abutting it.)
"I am holding the novel as a mirror before my people. Let them identify themselves and their history and reflect upon it. I will be happy if the novel gives them an opportunity for introspection," he said.
Asked about his critical approach towards Catholic religion, D'Cruz said Gandhi could be a Mahatma to one person but to another, he could be a leader responsible for a country's partition.
"Why should you just see it as criticism made by the novelist alone? The novel reflects the lives and the changes witnessed by the fishermen community. The society I portray supplies adequate material to support my criticism," said D'Cruz, who has released a compact disc titled Akkini Kunju, asking fishermen involved in freshwater and marine fishing to come together.

Avram Grant insists there was no grand plan to become Chelsea manager when he first joined in the summer from Portsmouth.
He said: "When I came here, I came here as director of football. I think I did a good job. Then Jose (Mourinho) left, and they offered me the job. I came for a different job which was interesting for me. I'm not a man for planning the future. You need to do your job, then something happens. I wanted to be a manager when I was [Israel's] national coach.
"I thought that I deserved a chance which turned my life. I can tell you again I don't know what I'm planning. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. We know that 10, 20 years ago, a manager could stay in the same club for five years, 10 years. There's a lot of things involved that were not in the past. This is the new job for a manager."
