Plas Bodegroes
Michelin Starred Restaurant with Rooms
The Plas Bodegroes is a 200 year old country house outside of Pwllheli, set back from the road surrounded by welsh farmland. There are 11 rooms which are priced according to size starting at £50 and going up to £85.
It was opened in 1986 by the present owners and the restaurant has a Michelin star as well as many ratings from other top restaurant guides. The chef uses fresh traditional local ingredients and gives them a modern twist for example scallops with coconut leeks, Welsh black beef with oxtail stew and parsley dumplings.
The restaurant decor is a modern minimalistic design with contemporary Welsh Art and is a stark contrast to the old building but is spacious and comfortable.
There is a South Facing Garden, courtyard for breakfast in fine weather and a Beech avenue surrounded by Welsh farmland for walks.
Open Tuesday to Saturday for dinner and Sunday lunch. There are also rates for weekend breaks. This is a good base to explore the Lleyn Peninsular coastline and countryside.

Type 1 LLC includes these frames:
UI Unnumbered Information Frame
The UI command sends information without any expected acknowledgment. UI is the connectionless frame format therefore the data contained in a UI frame may be lost if a transmission error occurs. It would be the responsibility of a higher protocol layer to initiate a retransmission, for example, if TCP or SPX did not get an acknowledgment at Layer 4.
The XID conveys the types of LLC services supported and the receive window size. Receipt of an XID command causes the destination LLC to respond with an XID response. The XID format consists of an 8 bit Format Identifier followed by a 16 bit parameter field. The IEEE has defined a Basic XID Format which is indicated when the Format Identifier is 81 (hex). In this case the parameter field consists of a one-byte class identifier (Type 1 versus Type 2) and a one-byte Receive Window Size value. The receive window size specifies the maximum number of bytes that can be sent to the station without receiving an acknowledgment. If a Basic Format XID is used and the window size is exceeded then the station will respond with a FRMR.
If the attached system software wants to test the LLC link it can cause a Test frame to be sent. A station receiving a Test frame is expected to send the frame back to its source at the earliest possible time. If there is test data included in the frame then the data field is returned in the Test Response.
When a station receives an XID command frame it is expected to return a XID response with the same type of information as described for the command. The XID response is sent at the earliest possible time after receipt of the command.
When a station receives a Test command frame it returns a Test response.

Live Commentary
90' + 3'Game over! Uruguay are in the final of the 2011 Copa America!!! The Suarez brace sends them through!
90' + 1'SubstitutionA. Balbín J. Ballón
90'Three added minutes. Uruguay are all but in the final as they look for their 15th title!
88'Muslera!!! A dangerous ball sent into the cross to find Guerrero is knocked out by the goalkeeper, who just got a hand to it!
86'Peru are advancing late! A goal needs to come now! Guerrero is the focus, but the defence is positioned well to deny them!
83'GUERRERO!!!!! WHAT A RECOVERY FROM MUSLERA! The striker's shot from deep hits the hands of the goalkeeper, who fails to control the curving ball well as it rolls towards the by-line before he dives to grab the ball before it enters! What an end to the game we would seen had the ball entered the net! Peru look done!
80'Little time left for Peru. Shots are coming from way out as the defence for Uruguay remains unbreakable.
78'Penalty kick? Oh no! The ball appears to hit Lugano's hand in the box, but it is not rewarded as Guerrero is in disbelief!
75'Yellow Card C. Lobatón
74'Peru have a chance off a corner kick, sending in another ball after the clearance. The defence of Uruguay is proving too tough to defeat!
72'Muslera with a nice save! Off a corner from Peru, the goalkeeper is positioned well to keep out a header from the red and white attackers!
71'SubstitutionW. Gargano S. Eguren
71'SubstitutionLuis Suárez Abel Hernández
70'Vargas is off!!!! Straight red card! Coates comes from behind to take the ball from the Fiorentina star, but the Peruvian sends an elbow flying backwards that strikes the defender right in the mouth. The ref saw it all.
69'Red Card Juan Vargas
67'Yellow Card Diego Lugano
67'Lugano given a yellow for an elbow on the face of Guerrero outside the box
65'Vargas!!! He goes for the bicycle kick from inside the box to try and catch Muslera off guard, but the ball flew over the top of the goal as the frustration builds for the Peruvians.
61'SubstitutionL. Advíncula C. Lobatón
61'Peru found the back of the net twice in the last ten minutes against Colombia. Can they repeat their feat against Uruguay too?
60'Yellow Card A. Balbín
59'Suarez is now tied for top scorer with three goals, alongside Sergio Aguero of Argentina.
58'Assist Á. Pereira
58'Goal Luis Suárez
56'GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL FOR URUGUAY!!!! IT IS SUAREZ AGAIN!!!!! The Liverpool star finds the net after A. Pereira sends him through with a well-placed ball over the defence of Peru. The striker, alone charging towards goal, cuts past Fernandez at the top of the box and finishes into the open net with ease!
54'SubstitutionYoshimar Yotún W. Chiroque
53'Goal Luis Suárez
52'GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL URUGUAY!!!!!!!!!! Forlan sends a bullet shot from 35 metres out that Fernandez can't control, pushing to the left of the goal where Suarez finishes with a low shot as the goalkeeper could not recover in time. 1-0 to Uruguay!
48'In the opening few minutes, the ball has stayed in the attacking half for Peru. The ball will certainly find the feet for Vargas for dangerous crosses. Uruguay are looking to Suarez down the flanks.
46'The second half has begun. Here we go!
42'GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! NO! NO! OFFSIDE!!! PERU CATCH A BREAK! Off a set piece, Forlan sends a ball to the box that Lugano directs towards the goal with a light header. A. Pereira, as always, is in the right place to put the ball away from close but is called offside. The defender nearly drew level with Sergio Aguero for top scorer!
36'The defenders of Peru are attentive! Uruguay continue to exploit the flanks, but the boys at the back recover well in front of goal to aid Fernandez. The ball goes out for a corner but two chances from Forlan produce little as a foul in the box sees the ball go to the white and red.
34'Uruguay are using the space well as Forlan sends A. Pereira down the line from the middle of the field. The defender sends a cross into the box, but the defenders of Peru eliminate the threat with ease.
31'The ball seems to go from one end to the pitch to the other in the matter of seconds. Peru fail to clear as Uruguay have a chance in the box, but Lugano can't get a touch on the ball to send it home with a volley. Fernandez picks it up and Peru go on the counter, but Advincula's cross finds nobody in the box. 15 minutes to go in the first half. Will one nation strike before the break?
28'Forlan finds A. Pereira charging down the left side of the box where the defender attempts a shot on goal, but the Peru defence did well to slide and block the shot.
27'Yellow Card W. Gargano
26'The game is as open as it has been since the ref initiated play. Peru look move creative, but Uruguay have more of the ball. A corner from Uruguay to come.
23'WHAT A BALL BY VARGAS!!! The powerful midfielder shows his ability to beat a defender on the flank before sending a beautiful, low ball across the middle of the box. Two attackers from Peru failed to get a touch on it with a diving effort. What a chance!
18'It feels like it is only a matter of time until Uruguay strike. The last pass to send someone through is missing, but the physical power of Tabarez's men continue to dominant.
15'A. Pereira!!!!!!!!! After M. Pereira wins a cross with a dangerous ball in the box, the defender nearly finds his third goal of the tournament from right in front of goal! The ball was handled poorly by Fernandez after a header, and the Porto man nearly put it away!
13'Yellow Card Luis Suárez
10'A. Pereira heads the ball over the bar off a cross from Forlan. Uruguay continue to press and win another corner after Suarez uses his skills to send in a low ball to the back post from the left side of the box. The ball does not seem to exit the defensive half of Peru.
6'Yotun with the long shot!!!!! Off a set piece, the midfielder fires a long shot low towards the goal but Muslera does well to control the ball with a diving save!
3'Peru's starting XI: Fernandez, Rodriguez, Acasiete, Vilchez, Carmona, Yotin, Albin, Cruzado, Vargas, Guerrero y Advincula.
2'Yellow Card Yoshimar Yotún
2'Uruguay: Muslera, Maximiliano Pereira, Lugano, Coates, Martín Cáceres, González, Gargano, Arévalo Ríos, Álvaro Pereira, Luis Suárez and Diego Forlán.

The Chiefland girls' basketball team did what it needed during the regular season to guarantee itself a critical top-three seed in the district tournament.
But the road was a difficult slog, as it struggled with injuries and player attrition and a difficult end to the non-district schedule.
With the return of star senior Takiya London, and the win-or-go-home urgency of the postseason upon them, the district tournament in Trenton was the Indians' chance to hit the reset button.
By Lt. Scott Tummond
An elderly Morriston resident's sleep was horribly interrupted April 14, 2016.
The victim was awakened by a person kicking through her locked bedroom door. She locked herself inside the bathroom and immediately called a family member who lived nearby to summon help. The family member called 911.
LCSO Deputies arrived to find the suspect had fled from the scene prior to their arrival.
On Wednesday, Feb. 15, the Chiefland Women's Golf Association will be holding the Rally for the Cure golf tournament at the Chiefland Golf and Country Club.
A two-minute span in the second quarter proved too costly for Bronson to overcome.
The No. 3-seeded Eagles, fresh off a convincing district quarterfinal win against Chiefland (69-42), fell victim to early turnovers and a second-quarter scoring splurge by Dixie County in last Friday's District 1A-7 semifinal round, as the Bears advanced on a 71-52 win in Bell.
The second-seeded Bears, which routed Cedar Key in their quarterfinal tilt, went on to upset top-seeded and fourth-ranked Bell Saturday with a 63-59 overtime victory.
After facing No. 2-ranked and reigning state finalist Trenton in last Friday's district championship game, the Chiefland girls' basketball team now turns its attention to No. 1 Wildwood.
The Lady Indians hit the road to take on the top-ranked Wildcats in the opening round of the Class 1A state tournament.
The Class 1A, Region 4 semifinal tips off 7 p.m.
Chiefland knew it had an uphill battle playing at No. 2-ranked Trenton in the girls' District 1A-7 finals last Friday.
The pressure going in was compounded on the court, as the Tiger defense helped generate 20 Indian turnovers in the first half on the way to a 61-29 Trenton win.
It marked the second district title in a row for No. 2-ranked Trenton, which improved to 24-3 on the season. The Tigers face District 8 runner-up Pahokee at home Thursday in the regional semifinals, while Chiefland faces top-ranked Wildwood on the road.
The Chiefland girls' basketball team was dealt a tough hand to open its fourth straight state playoff appearance.
It was forced to travel to Wildwood to take on the No. 1 ranked squad in Class 1A, an experienced senior-led Wildcat squad that's stout in all phases of the game with its combination of perimeter skill and size.
Wildwood (21-6) got off to a slow start against a plucky Indian defense, but eventually broke the game open for a 66-28 win in the Class 1A, Region 4 semifinal.
As the No. 3 seed facing a sixth-seeded Chiefland squad it had defeated twice in the regular season, Bronson figured to be the favorite in the opening round of the District 1A-7 hoops tournament in Bell.
A 23-5 Eagle lead in the first half seemed to confirm that prognostication, but the Indians weren't prepared to go away lightly, as they staged a mid-game rally to pull to within six in the third quarter.
Bronson soon recaptured their early momentum, however, to pull away for a 69-42 win.
Two of life's greatest pleasures were combined for a unique setting at Chiefland Middle School last week.
To celebrate Florida's Literacy Week, students at the school were treated to a "tasting" of books to encourage an "appetite for reading."
A real three-course meal – appetizers, entrees and desserts – was also included.
The further a loved one slips into dementia, the more pain is inflicted on spouses, children or other caregivers left behind as they watch the love one disappear.
Haven Hospice Director Anita Howard told members of the Suwannee Rotary Club recently that dementia is not a specific disease.

To start off with their whole billing system. They don't have computerised and printed bills. They just write in a paper and do their calculations and tell us an amount after all the services and we are supposed to pay. Had gone for few services there and since it's the parlour that's atleast better compared to the other parlours in Palakkad, thought I would go here. When you go inside the girls inside try to convince you with lot of expensive services and say only the most expensive ones would suit the skin. They told me about a new skin whitening facial and when I asked for the tariff they said its in the new tariff card. I wanted to go for other normal facial as I had done it previously and dint want to take any risk of damaging my skin .....

Where unexpected visitors might see?
The kitchen, bedrooms?
I tend to do bedrooms, and I was thinking it's all good getting them done first, but if someone rocks up, they don't really see how clean the bedrooms are lol...,
Thinking maybe the lounge and dining might be a wiser starting point

Analysis of the Effect of Teacher Sex on Sex Role Classification of School Related Objects.
Cunneen, James; Sloan, Charles A.
This study explores the relationship between the sex of the teacher and second-, third-, and fourth-grade students' classification of school-related objects as either masculine or feminine. Subjects, 789 students representing a cross-section of racial and ethnic groups in Chicago suburban schools, were equally divided between grades and according to whether they had male or female teachers. All the students were administered an instrument which included 10 items teachers thought students would perceive as school-related. A three-way analysis of variance model was used, and the following conclusions were drawn: (1) Girls view school as more sex congruent than boys in grades 3 and 4. (2) No relationship exists between the sex of the teacher and the way in which second-, third-, and fourth-grade boys label school-related objects, but male teachers had a negative effect on girls. (3) The classification of school-related objects does differ by grade when the child's sex is separately considered. (4) Male teachers had no significant effect on students' labeling of school-related objects. (Author/RH)

Never had this problem, so I don't know if it's fixable. Perhaps replacing it would be the best option.
Longin replied on Jan 12, 2017
As long as it doesn't affect your riding, I wouldn't let it worry you. I suggest the switch is stuck so get a can of Contact Cleaner which is suitable for electrical parts and switches. It should solve the problem.
Any person who says males who ride scooters like to feel the wind on their vaginas are plainly jealous!!!

Catching up and asset-seeking FDI: Outbound FDI by developing country firms as a means to access more advanced systems of innovation Helena Barnard
Goal of Presentation Early in research process Feedback on methodological issues: Problem adequately conceptualized? Sub-problems comprehensively identified? Methods suggested for study of sub-problems a) appropriate and b) workable? Choice of firms for second industry LARGE scope – need for balance between: Workable, in terms of both time investment needed and presentation of results Comprehensive, i.e. addressing research issue and making best use of current well-resourced context
FDI as Means of Connecting Systems of Innovation Industry organizations Suppliers & sub- contractors Universities Competitors developing country multinational subsidiary Advanced system of innovation Industry organizations Suppliers & sub-contractors Universities Competitors Developing country multinational parent Intermediate system of innovation Outbound FDI by developing country firm as a way of linking with more advanced system of innovation
Summary of Argument Given the difference between less and more developed systems of innovation Outbound FDI to more developed countries will benefit home countries if: Developing country MNCs do create new knowledge through interaction with more advanced systems of innovation Developing country MNC subsidiaries from more advanced contexts successfully share new knowledge with parent in less developed country Developing country MNC parent disseminates new knowledge to other actors in the less mature system of innovation
Methodological Concerns Resource-based industry Often associated with developing countries More likely ownership advantage to allow survival in more developed contexts Older, therefore more likely to have some kind of institutional infrastructure High technology industry Agreement that knowledge is central to the industry Younger firms more likely to have knowledge- seeking as goal Strongly associated with economic growth Need to develop supportive infrastructure Multiple countries examined to increase generalizability Control for likely differences between different industries
Mining as Resource-Based Industry Technology relevant for extraction (e.g. the unmanned mine) and prospecting Typical FDI pattern is to other countries at similar or lower level of development in the same region, e.g. Brazilian mining firm investing in Chilean mines Three firms from three less developed countries invest in a total of five more developed countries: Anglo-American (South Africa) in Canada and Australia Grupo Mexico (Mexico) in USA CVRD (Brazil) in Norway and France
High Technology Firms: ? Looking for: Same three home countries as for mining (Brazil, Mexico, SA) Firms all in same industry Firms large enough to form global network No easily defined giants in high technology industries - to be expected, given lower level of development of system of innovation Areas of high technology expertise typically due to military-related state spending, e.g. both SA and Brazil have nuclear, aircraft and petrochemical strengths - but not strong commercial successes
Information Technology Industry High technology industry of the new technological paradigm A country like India provides evidence that developing countries can successfully enter the field Firms: Information Technology service firm Dimension Data (South Africa) with centres of excellence in Australia, Belgium, UK, and SA Brazil and Mexico – ?
Data Needed to Support Argument Differences between systems of innovation – collect pre-existing data How new capabilities are developed and shared – gather data: Mainly from firms themselves Also from other actors in systems of innovation Using both interview and survey data
Differences in Systems of Innovation Analyze home countries and all more developed countries where focal firms operate Compare more and less developed countries Mining: Brazil, SA and Mexico compared to Australia, Canada, France, Norway and US Information technology: TBD Do general as well as industry-specific comparison of systems of innovation In case of specific analysis, each industry done separately, comparing more and less advanced Mainly existing data sources, e.g. UNHDI, patent data, exports
General Comparison between Systems of Innovation Measures: GDP per capita Government and private R&D spending Education enrollments at primary, secondary and tertiary levels, specifically for technical fields Manufactured exports, divided by low, medium and high technology Patent activity Scientific production
Industry-Specific Comparison Between Systems of Innovation Cross-country comparison of knowledge-creating institutional infrastructure Education and training Basic training, e.g. trade schools Advanced training, e.g. degrees offered Research institutions Research linked to tertiary institutions Other state or para-statal institutions Other, e.g. industry consortia
Other Industry Actors in Systems of Innovation For focal firms home as well as host countries: Lobbying institutions (employer and worker organisations) Competitors, i.e. other firms in same industry Main supplier firms Subsidiaries in same location, i.e. where horizontal or vertical integration Main customers or customer groups The role of these actors will be considered in greater depth in the later sections Data both archival and obtained through firm interviews and surveys
Does FDI to More Developed Countries Benefit the Home Country? Three main research questions: (How) does interaction with the more advanced system of innovation help developing country firms expand their capabilities? (How) do capabilities flow from the subsidiary in the more to the parent in the less developed system of innovation? (How) do capabilities disseminate from the parent to the other actors in the less developed system of innovation? Both interviews and surveys to explore these questions
Data Gathering from Firms Main sources: subsidiaries and parent of firms Also other actors in system of innovation Interviews Few key people in organisation Detailed understanding of issues Potential to identify important non-firm actors and institutions Surveys Input can be gathered from more people – capabilities are developed in communities Addressing concerns about replicability Quantitative analysis
Summary of Data Sources per Topic Actors to interview and/or survey Develop capabilities with more advanced system of innovation Share capabilities with parent Disseminate capabilities to less advanced system of innovation Subsidiary in host country XXX? Host country commercial infrastructure (suppliers, customers, competitors) X Host country institutional infrastructure (research consortia, government) X Home country parent X?XX Home country operations X Home country suppliers X
Data Gathering from Firms – Some Concerns LARGE number of sites (about 10 countries!) Enough funding secured to visit about half the sites Difficulties with data gathering, especially conducting interviews: Additional funding needed to visit remaining sites Time Language – I do not speak Spanish (Mexico) or Portugese (Brazil) If in some cases it may only be possible to obtain survey data – consider tradeoffs
Expanding Capabilities through Interaction with More Advanced Systems of Innovation Data gathered from subsidiaries, institutional and other actors in more advanced system of innovation Also some archival data, e.g. press releases How do developing country firms gain access to more advanced systems of innovation? Social networks, e.g. in Korean case Having something to contribute, i.e. reciprocity and membership of the club of innovators Given their relationships with and in the system, what types of capabilities do they develop?
Expanding Capabilities through Interaction with More Advanced Systems of Innovation (cont.) Focus interview questions and survey items on: Relationships and contacts between firm and other actors Capabilities and contributions of firm that are seen as potentially valuable within new system of innovation Benefits sought in more developed context Interviews can best uncover perceptions and relationships and how they determine access to more advanced system of innovation Triangulate by also interviewing host country actors Survey to focus on capabilities sought
Sharing Capabilities with Parent in Less Developed System of Innovation Draw on literature on reverse technology transfer and knowledge flows within globally integrated MNC network Survey data most important in this section Develop or adapt items on: Types of knowledge that is shared with parent Strategies to support knowledge flows Since knowledge creation is a communal process in which all parties play an active role: Distribute surveys to multiple respondents in each site Survey subsidiaries as well as parent
Disseminating Capabilities to Less Developed System of Innovation Spillovers of newly acquired expertise can be: Unintentional, e.g. through personnel movements Deliberate, e.g. company wants new procedure used Unintentional spillovers hard to measure Focus on deliberate spillovers A stringent but narrow test – beneficial spillovers possible even where failure of deliberate spillovers Triangulate account of participants in system of innovation with that of focal firm
Disseminating Capabilities to Less Developed System of Innovation (cont.) Home country actors most likely to be affected by new capabilities: Domestic operating units of focal firm, e.g. local mines Domestic supplier networks Domestic non-firm research partners Data gathered from multiple respondents in each unit Open-ended interview as well as survey questions: What types of relationships do they have with the focal firm? What types of capabilities do they develop, and how?
Summary Feedback welcomed: Problem appropriately conceptualized? Methodology appropriate and doable? Second industry? Develop capabilities in interaction with more advanced system of innovation Share capabilities with parent Disseminate capabilities to less advanced system of innovation

Growth curves have been widely used in the fields of biology, zoology and medicine for assessing some measurable trait of an organism, such as height, weight, area or volume. In statistical shape analysis, a size measure is obtained using the geometrical information of an object as opposed to linear measurements. The performances of commonly used non-linear growth curves are compared by using centroid size as a size measure in a simulation study. An example is provided on the relationship between centroid size of the cerebellum and disease duration in multiple sclerosis patients.

Thoughts on Thinking
Habits, Patterns, and Thoughts That Go Bump in the Night
recognizes thinking as the important activity of Mankind. Thinking is important because nothing can occur prior to a thought. Thinking is the activity of consciousness. I think, therefore I am; I am, therefore I think. Well, yes.
In the most basic structure, things not thought never come to pass. The flip side, of course, is the belief that "all that is" is the result of random movements of particles in a capricious universe. Because of the Law of Attraction, either belief is valid – the thinker/believer will experience the results of such belief. The difference is between living a managed life and one bouncing around the chaos of other peoples thinking, i.e., victim of external forces.
Is it safe to assume (risking ass-you-me!) that any person, anywhere, anytime, prefers to feel good rather than feel bad? Good is relative, granted, and the range of a "good" feeling is vast. Someone's "good" feeling may be witnessing another suffer. That's hardly the same "good" feeling of someone providing assistance to another. There are degrees of every feeling and experience. Feeling angry is an improvement on feeling hopeless. I suspect most people aspire for Joy. The Life experience is about moving to a better feeling existence. A mental move to a better feeling experience is not an accident. It is a choice - a decision, a thought, an expectation.
Nothing can improve without a thought
improvement. Some people understand that. Some can't. One of my favorite thinkers, Emmet Fox, noted that
People are trying to change outer conditions but leaving their consciousness unchanged, and it cannot be done.
I think Fox was emphasizing that until consciousness changes it's not possible for anything else to change. Consciousness is an awareness of thinking and there are degrees of consciousness as with everything. The higher degree is characterized by a greater frequency or vibration. Higher frequencies, in a word, rule over lower frequencies.
Contemporary with Fox was Charles Fillmore, who summed up the mental process:
If you're unhappy with your life, change you thinking.
In essence, it's not possible to "fix" your life until you are able to "change" your thinking. Thinking precedes everything.
Yet how do you change thinking? Simply by giving attention to something else that evokes an improved feeling. Simple is not synonymous with easy. Many of us aren't aware
we're thinking, let alone
we're thinking. As one wag noted, consciousness is a terrible thing to waste.
Quick check: On most days are you planning your activities/experiences? Or, are you reacting to whatever you're sensing around you – 24 hours news, FB, other people's opinions, etc.? Many people bounce around their thinking, reacting to what they see and experience going on around them. They give attention to the news, gossip, what others say and do, and make note of the differences between people (especially themselves.) They focus on every
when the "bad guys" get away with
Or, when some people have
the luck (leaving less "luck" available for others!)
A change in consciousness is not necessarily a Road to Damascus moment with blinding Light and Voices from the Cosmos. Most often an elevation of consciousness (thinking on a higher frequency) is more a "Eureka!" or "Aha!" moment when something is suddenly clear. "I get that!" is often a response. Finally learning to "follow" your hunch/intuition is a good sign.
Perhaps the finest illustration of a change in consciousness involves a very old and very widespread teaching about humans relating to one another:
Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.
This is the sum of duty; do naught onto others what you would not have them do
unto you.
What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellowman.
The teaching is direct – don't inflict on others what you don't want to experience yourself. We've got a long history of showing that this guiding principle is effective.
Take a look at the essence of the thought: What's emphasized? Something painful or undesirable. "I don't want this to happen to me." Therefore, I won't inflict this on someone else (and maybe they won't do it to me.) It is a sort of truce among people – let's agree not to harm each other. The agreement works very well. Over time it becomes codified and passed along to each generation. It is a belief, a faith, if you will. It becomes a state of consciousness – individual and collective.
Take a look at the general concept expressed on a higher level of consciousness:
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye so to them.
However one may consider Jesus, he is first a profound teacher, guiding consciousness with a shift in perspective. This application, known as the Golden Rule, puts attention on what you desire – how you wish to be treated. And places the responsibility for that desire on you! Treat others as you want to be treated. That's a significant evolution from the old teaching. Now as over 2,000 years ago, not everyone "gets it."

There Was A Time
(From time to time a bit of mischievous verse)
There was a time
when there wasn't
although I can't remember
when it was.
When, then and now,
to be, a thing un-thought.
All present and accounted for
in an array of life compressed
knowing that once
it was expanse.
Occasionally we can touch
that link in life
when our prattling succumbs
to the Truth of the present
and we realize, perhaps,
that we are what was.
And is.
And shall remain.
History is composed of the actions of the present, remembered after a while. People are pretty much the same in any time or place, therefore it's of value to study the past and learn the evolution of thought. The Gnome suggested that I think back as far as I could. I did. This was the result

Happy Intentions!
Happy New Year 2017!
Do you mean it? A happy 2017? It's not a wish. It's a matter of intent.
I never worked a day in my life. It was all fun!
- Thomas Edison.
The great inventor was spot-on - if it's fun, it ain't work (presuming one equates work as undesired labor.) Semantics aside, intent is the key.
One simple declaration will make all the difference. Attach this declaration to the beginning of every thought and you'll be astonished. Okay, ready?
"It is fun to ________________________________." (You know, fill in the blank.)
Simple. Uncomplicated. Heck, it'll even make pleasant those traditional dreaded New Year's Resolutions:
"It is fun to plan to lose weight." It's not necessary to "wait" until the weight is lost to have fun.
"It is fun to choose what I eat." If a healthier diet is in the plan, then have fun with it now.
"It is fun to de-clutter the office." Think about how much better it is without the mess rather than fixating on the mess.
"It is fun to have the car serviced." It's fun to be able to drive where I want to go."
"It is fun to pay more attention to_____." (Fill in the blank.)
"It is fun to be around healthy, happy people." Duh.
"It is fun to pay the bills." Why? For each bill you received some desired service or item.
You get the idea. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. In fact, if you really intend to have a fun 2017, and you begin using this declaration January 1, by the beginning of March you'll think this way automatically. You won't pay much attention to that fact because you'll be having such a good time.
Of course, if you don't really believe that you could/should/ought to have a continuous good time, then you won't. It's the intention that rules, a.k.a. expectation. If you look for the fun in anything, you'll find it. If you look for something else, you'll find that. What is consistent is that you will find and experience what you expect, what you look for, what you give your attention to.
Happy New Year! (If you want it.)
If you truly want a fun 2017, use the
magic word
as well. Go whole-hog –
complaint free
How much delight can you have in 2017?
All you want.
Those who get it, get it. Those who don't, can't.

Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!
The Winter Solstice
continues to be one of the most enduring moments for reverence and celebration. The darkest day of the year has come and hence forth each day shall be filled with more sunshine. I'm not aware of any civilization that did not make a big deal of the turning point of the year.
So, of course, this became the season to celebrate the birth of Jesus who became the Christ. It's pretty well accepted that Jesus was born not in winter, but in the spring and six years earlier than our calendar suggests. Since Pisces, the fish, was an early Christian symbol, I'd surmise that the birth occurred under that astrological sign. This is all irrelevant, of course. The historical Jesus Christ was one of a handful of master teachers known to us, and his instructions on how to live a more wonderful life have proven itself repeatedly.
Mischief arose when the teachings of this Master were edited, blended, codified, and otherwise rendered theological and political. All the latter are man-made. Some of the recent history of organized Christianity is not pretty - the
Albigensian Crusade
Spanish Inquisition
, and burning witches come to mind, and of course the scourge of ISIS. But this is man acting against man and not reflective of Jesus' teachings, principle of which is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
It is fashionable now to minimize the impact of Jesus or even seriously question his existence. I distinctly recall through the years the "absence of evidence" of an historical Jesus. Why, if the teachings and movement were so profound, many ask, does the principle source for historical information in the region shortly after the death of Jesus, mention him in only a brief paragraph?
The source is
, who wrote a voluminous history of the Jews called "Antiquities." Recently I purchased the complete works of Josephus, because I like history, and because I was curious to read the rare, fleeting, mention of Jesus in the decades following his death. It
a brief paragraph. But what a paragraph!
(63) Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works - a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was {the} Christ; (64) and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principle men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and then thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct to this day.
That's an account given when many who knew Jesus were still alive. He must have made quite an impact to earn that paragraph so quickly. Note: It is possible that various translations of the paragraph may have embellished the telling.
The history is irrelevant. It is the teachings that shifted much of human consciousness and continues to do so. Jesus taught that
(prayer) was the road to a wonderful life. Thinking is very personal, therefore the relationship to God that Jesus taught, had to be personal as well. That, of course, didn't go over well with Priests or any positioned person to whom obedience and, well, worship were required. Radical stuff, actually.
So, to celebrate the Christ Mass, is a good thing. It is a Merry Christmas. It is a Happy Holiday. It is as pagan as it gets, for the celebration is ancient. Adjacent to Christmas, in our modern calendar, is the New Year! Really, rejoice that the great Teacher came to teach us joy, then embark on a fresh, new year that uncluttered with the mistakes (and erroneous thinking) of the previous year.

The Pope did it.
was mad at the Pope. In talking to a friend, she told of her gripes with the Pontiff, his positions on various matters, and how her life was miserable because of him.
The friend was aghast at this revelation. "Goodness," asked the friend, "that's terrible! What exactly did the Pope do to you to make you so angry?"
Gwen complained about his positions. The friend again asked what exactly the Pope had done to her to hurt her so much. Finally, she blurted out: "It's the Church!" The Catholic Church was her problem.
"That's a shame," said her friend. "What exactly has the Church done to hurt you so much to make you so angry?"
Again, Gwen mumbled a few things but was not able to specify what actions the Church had taken to make her life so miserable. "It's the Parish! I'm mad at our Parish!" she finally conceded.
The friend repeated the same question. Gwen was uneasy and unable to state what the Parish administration had done to hurt her so badly. Another question from the friend. Then, finally: "It's Father Snead! He hates me."
"What terrible thing did Father Snead do to you that hurt you so?" asked the patient friend.
Gwen abruptly left the room, shouting that "Marie got the job that I wanted."
Marie was hired because she was proficient with certain technology and applications which Gwen wasn't. Yet Gwen couldn't, or wouldn't, accept that fact. She was hurt when she didn't get the job and became angry.
But because she wasn't able to accept that, and didn't want to be angry with Marie, Gwen launched her anger all the way to the Vatican and His Holiness.
Projecting anger at someone, something, far away is a method many people use to cope with their angry feelings.
Does it work? Not if relieving the anger is the goal. Projected anger masks the more genuine problem—in this case, loss of a desired job. It was simply easier for Gwen to stay angry, than accept the true reason for not being hired. She didn't have the necessary skills and didn't want to get them.
There's a strange logic to this technique: "If my anger, or problem, is caused by something SO big"—like the government, all white people, all black people, all men, all women, the system, etc., "then I am a victim of their wickedness." This is also known as "It's not my fault."
Perception = Reality. If a person perceives himself or herself as a victim of some great evil, then the reality of actually being a victim will self-fulfill. The Pope didn't do anything to Gwen, yet in her mind she made him the cause of her pain and suffering. This is a faulty perception. A faulty perception, given great energy, doesn't correct anything. It's just faulty. But you can live a lifetime with it. An irrational idea, passionately held, is still an irrational idea.

The Cold War
Ideological Differences Stalin & Truman
The US President Roosevelt died in 1945. He was replaced by Truman who was strongly
antiCommunist and, as the war came to an end, the relationship between America and
Russia fell apart.
In 1945, Harry S Truman became president of the USA, determined to confront
Communism. He is reported to have told his advisers:
"The Russians only understand one language how many armies have you got? I'm tired of
babying the Soviets."
Harry S Truman, 1945
But this was not the only cause of trouble. Historians believed that the wartime alliance
between the Soviet Union and America was also wrecked by the huge differences between
the two countries in:
Politics America was capitalist, Russia was communist.
Lifestyle America had freedom and a twoparty democracy; Russia had secret police and a
oneparty state.
Aims America wanted Germany to recover as a trading partner; Russia wanted to weaken
Germany and create a buffer zone of friendly states around Russia.
The collapse of the wartime alliance led to a Cold War between the two superpowers.

Apparently, Saudis aren't about taking a suicide bomber 'prank' lightly which has gone viral on the internet.
Several YouTube stars have ramped up the shock value of their stunts just for the clicks – but a video by a Saudi group faking an encounter with a suicide bomber has been blasted as one of the most outrageous and irresponsible "prank" videos yet.
It starts with menace. A bearded taxi driver wearing traditional Saudi dress looks at the camera and says: "Now we're going to look for a victim." The video cuts to footage from a hidden camera of a young passenger exchanging greetings with the driver before settling in for a ride through a Saudi city. But the journey soon turns scary.
"Do you think about jihad?" the driver asks. He then unbuttons his robe to show off what looks like a bomb belt to the frightened passenger, who alternately cries, pleads and clings to the driver in apparent fear that his life is about to end. Eventually the driver tells the passenger to calm down and points out the cameras placed strategically around the taxi.
"We're just joking around," the driver says, "in order to show you what terrorism is like."
Another young passenger subjected to the prank is clearly in fear for his life as he throws himself out of the car while it's still moving. He is seen moments later apparently physically unhurt, but in some state of shock as the pranksters explain that it was all their idea of a joke.
In the final scene of the three-minute-long video – which has been watched tens of thousands of times – two passengers wrestle with the fake driver and get him to stop. One is seen dialling the police for help before it is explained to them that it was a hoax.

This book was engaging from the first chapter. It was another great example of king's ability to develop characters that become friends. I didn't want it to end.
"Fun story, great narration"
This was an easy read. It kept my interest, though the end was a little predictable. I loved the narration, which in my opinion, can make or break a book.
I am a school counselor that loves horror, fantasy, autobiographies, self-help, and Christian genres. I am a BIG bookworm! Reading is life!
"A different kind of Stephen King novel"
I know had I sat down and listened to this book that I could have finished it in a day or 2, but it is a really great book! I've read parts of other Stephen King books and this one was somewhat different. I had to wonder if there was a little bit of Stephen King's youth wrapped up in the story.
Joyland takes place in 1971 when the world was a different place. The man writing the book, Devin, is writing about his life the year he was 21-years-old and he took time off from college to work Joyland in the summer. He experiences the loss of a first, big break-up and learns a secret language as well as a whole new world working for an amusement park. He gains lifetime friends and works to solve the mystery of who killed Linda Grey in the "haunted house?" Along the way, he saves some lives and learns some valuable lessons.
This is my first Stephen King novel. Recommended by a friend. Certainly won't be my last.
"Great book"
Great book. Great narrator. Highly recommend! Not a typical, scary Stephen King book. But it is King's typical well told story.
"Two books in one"
College student comes of age while working a summer job at a third-rate carnival. Told from the grown man's point of view looking back 40 years to that fateful summer, King's story masterfully blends youthful awkwardness and aspirations into 1970s carnival life. However, the murder of a young girl suddenly pops up well into the book. Solving the murder emerges as the apparent point of the book, but is in fact a distraction from the easygoing pace of the nostalgia-drenched coming-of-age story.
"Love this book"
King's best books are the ones that grab you, no chance of getting away. This is one that I read over and over.
"A perfect blend of sweetness and horror"
I honestly don't know how Mr King makes it seem so easy to make the characters so relatable in circumstances that are so bizarre. Michael Kelly's performance was excellent.
Constant Reader
"Top 5 King novel, and ending you won't forget"
I've not looked at the print version, but I'm going to say absolutely. Michael Kelly conveyed the wonderment of working at an amusement park in the 70's and the mystery of what happened at Joyland perfectly. Not to mention the end of the book. It was so well executed I was fighting back tears.
When Jonsey met Annie and Michael and everything that happened from there.....the ending was absolutely a punch to the gut.
It's first person, so it better be the main character.
Easily one of the top 5 King books I've ever read, with an ending, that, maybe because I've got a special needs son I'm biased, I won't ever forget.
"Awesome reading of joyland!"
was very nice reading of a great story. I recommend this to any who enjoy Stephen King.

Taylor Swift or Disney Princess?
Todrick Hall posted two videos on his Instagram performing a disney song with the one and only Taylor Swift. The two jammed to Part of Your World from The Little mermaid and it was everything we could dream of. Todrick gave an amazing and dramatic performance while Taylor played the piano.

This Year's Banned Books of Texas
The ACLU of Texas has released their annual report on books banned by the state's school districts.
Among the usual suspects this time around: R.L. Stine, a Gossip Girl novel and the ever-popular gay penguins tale And Tango Makes Three.
Another highlight: An elementary in a San Antonio-area district put Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary in a restricted area because of "sexual content or nudity."
"Censorship of Young Adult books is concerning because these books motivate youth to read, improve literacy levels and drive interest in literature. They are also very relevant to youth, assisting them to make sense of the world and helping them to form their own ideas and values to prepare for the future," said Dotty Griffith of the ACLU of Texas. "The ACLU of Texas absolutely respects parents' right to choose what books their children read and to work with teachers to find alternate titles when parents have concerns. But efforts by a single parent or small group to ban a book and keep all students from reading it infringes on the rights of other parents to make their own choices. That is the effect of banning books."

Types of coast
1. Trade Coast- a coast with good transport links e.g. a port that imports and exports things.
2. Recreational Coast- A coast that is used for leisure
3. Residential Coast- a coast where people live.
4. Resource Coast- a coast that is used for mass production
Estuary: Flooded lower course of a river valley, where the mixing of fresh and salt water happens,
due to different densities. They provide sheltered environments where deposition of fine river
sediment occurs. They are controlled by tidal and non tidal currents.
Salt Marshes: Form in the more sheltered parts of estuaries. E.g. behind spits. This is because the
high tide deposits sediment where the the velocity decreases. Salt marshes are very fertile
ecosystems, and important feeding grounds
Mangroves: Composed of low trees and shrubs with dense root systems that grow in swampy,
muddy waters in tidal zones between tropical sea and land. Mangroves filter out sediment that
harms the coral reef, and the coral absorbs energy that would have the mangroves. Coral Reef
makes up 0.1% of the oceans, and 25% of marine life. If climate change continues to happen, coral
is under threat from coral bleaching from more acidic waters.
Sand Dunes: Wide low gradient beaches with strong onshore winds and obstacles such as
driftwood or vegetation form sand dunes.
The coast of Spain increases by 1.2% per year due to migration. On Mediterranean coast, 65% of it
is urbanised. Concerns: What will happen to Biodiversity? Is there enough water? Is this causing
conflict, due to too much pressure on the land?
75% of people live on the coast in Florida, It has pleasant weather and sandy beaches, with good
accessibility. It is known as the Sunshine State. Florida is in a peninsula shape, meaning that
everywhere is close to the coast. Concerns: 80% of the Everglades Wetland has been lost. 9% of
Florida lies less than 2m above sea level. Water Shortages?
90% live in urban areas in Australia. On the coast there is 5 big cities where you can find good
schools, cheap housing, and promising business opportunities. Concerns: Great Barrier Reef is
under threat from coral bleaching, Lack of freshwater and farmland. Unsure whether it is
sustainable to provide food and water to all

Holderness Coast
The Holderness is 61km long and the fastest eroding coastline in Europe, caused by hydraulic
action from the sea. It erodes so quickly because of the weak geology and cliff morphology. Also
the power of the waves is so strong (due to the long fetch from the Arctic Ocean), these destructive
waves also carry material that causes the cliffs to erode The average rate of erosion is 1.8m a year,
the narrow beaches are less likely to protect the cliffs.…read more

Soft Engineering:
Soft engineering involves coaxing natural processes along. E.g. beach nourishment. These soft
schemes are cheaper and require less time, therefore more sustainable. They integrate with the
