Jacket painting by Fumi Komatsu. keywords: Literature Translated Japan Asia. inventory # 7383. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This superb translation brings to the English-speaking world, with no loss of color or emotion, a spectacular and famous historical novel. It is a medieval epic on a heroic scale, full of splendor and pageantry and surging narrative power. Once we plunge into its exotic atmosphere, every page brims with excitement. THE HEIKE STORY tells of the wars, feuds, intrigues, scandals, and love affairs of the decadent Imperial Court in Kyoto in the twelfth century. It was a time of corruption, of the disintegration of the effete aristocracy, of brawling samurai. Those who have seen that extraordinary film Gate of Hell will instantly recognize the scene and some of the characters. Kyoto was then at its finest, a city of palaces, temples, pagodas, and shrines surrounded by thickly wooded hills. A number of imposing gates, including Rashomon, led to its parks and broad avenues lined by the shops of gifted artisans. But crime, disorder, and lust were rampant in this beautiful city. The people were abused by the nobility, and armed Buddhist monks terrorized court and commoner alike. In despair, the Emperor called upon the provincial warrior clans, the Heiké and the Genji to quell civil disturbances. Although they succeeded, the two clans quarreled over the spoils and plunged Japan into a century of feudal war. This novel tells of the rise to power of Kiyomori of the Heiké in this lurid setting. We first meet him as a youth sunk in the poverty and obscurity to which the clans were still condemned. But when the Emperors call came, his rise to power was spectacular, and he became the Emperors Chief Councillor, to the consternation of his enemies, the Genji. In his wake he left a trail of blood and ruin, even though he was a gentle, enlightened man. Very attractive to women, he was helped in his intrigues by some of the most beautiful ones in the world, the court ladies of Kyoto, as well as by his own bravery and manliness. The strange twists of his fate are the core of this novel so impossible to summarize, so packed with action and with poetry. For these times, bloody and terrible as they were, were also a time of great art and literature. THE HEIKÉ STORY is a modern version of a medieval classic first assembled by itinerant ballad-singers. It will enthrall Western readers; it will also offer them a delightful and diverting introduction to the source of Japanese culture. Very Good In Slightly Worn Dustjacket. Bookseller Inventory # 7383

In US, 'rivers on Rolaids' are legacy of acid rain
Washington, DC (AFP) Aug 26, 2013
Two-thirds of rivers in the eastern United States are becoming increasingly alkaline, making their waters more dangerous for crop irrigation and fish life, scientists said Monday. Even though alkaline is the opposite of acid, the reason for the change is the legacy of acid rain, which eats away at rocks and pavement that are high in alkaline minerals, said the researchers in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. "It's like rivers on Rolaids," said lead author Sujay Kaushal, a geologi ... read more

An aspiring home owner who is not afraid of big projects is wanted to take on an 18th century manor house with the "best view in England".
The incentive is a free 20-year lease for the eight-bedroom house on the Blenheim Palace estate in Oxfordshire. There is however a catch: the new lease holder will have to commit to spending at least £3 million on repairs to the property.
Woodstock House was acquired by Blenheim estate in the 1850s and has been let out ever since, most recently as an old people's home. While its exterior is still impressive the

Originally founded by German immigrants, followed by successive waves of Lithuanians, Italians, and Hispanics, Melrose Park has undergone a series of transformations since its incorporation in 1882. Close proximity to Chicago and the coming of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad ensured that Melrose Park became a center for manufacturing and heavy industry. Major companies including Benjamin Moore, International Harvester, and the National Malleable Castings Company built plants here, and the town was also known as the headquarters for Polk Brothers.

Bitcoin is presented as anonymous network. But in fact it's a transparent global payment system. Bitcoin is not offer a 100% confidentiality, if you use it incorrectly. A confidentiality is depend of your actions.
Bitcoin is an open source system, but many people don't understand why is this so. All bitcoin transactions are opened, monitored and constantly saved in Bitcoin network. Bitcoin addresses is an only information, that you may check in network, to find how many bitcoins have been sent and where. These addresses are created by user's wallet. As soon as addresses are created, they are related to appropriate transactions history. Anybody can see a transaction, check the wallet balance and all incoming and outgoing operations. The purpose of anonymity disclosure is in payment logics, when user is should present himself, to buy something. That's why you should use an address one time, and hide your addresses from anybody.
To protect your anonymity, you should use a new bitcoin address every time, when you get a new invoice. Also you may use several wallets for different purposes. In this way you will isolate own transactions, so nobody can find a relationship between. The people who sent you coins won't know the wallets you have, so it's important thing.
You shouldn't be carefull only when you get a public donation and show your earnings to anybody, otherwise a bitcoin address showing up, on social networks or any web page, is not a good idea. In case if you made it already, you need to know, that when you move some coins between addresses, it will be a public operation, saved in address history. Also you shouldn't post information about transactions and purchases, to avoid bitcoin-address hijack.
Bitcoins is a decentralized network, so it's possible to monitor transactions relay and save IP addresses. The bitcoin-nodes are relay all transactions of other users, as well as own. That means, to find a source of particular transaction is might be a difficult thing, and any bitcoin-node is can be recognized as a source by mistake. You may hide IP address of own machine, for example, with TOR, so it won't be disclosed.
Some online services, so called as "bitcoin mixers" or simply "mixers", allow you to decrease traceability, exchanging similar sums between different clients with independent bitcoin-addresses. It's important to know, that legality of these services usage is can be different and depend of various laws in countries around the globe. These services assume that you trust them, and you are not worry about coins steal or transactions traceability. Even if they can prevent traceability of small sums, it's hard to do that for large number of transactions.
There are many changes under development, to improve a confidentiality. For example, new payment API features, they are aim to prevent a cooperative usage of payment addresses, that helps to create association between. Many features are under development, which affect in some way on confidentiality, for example a possibility to joint transactions of random users.

Whatever your age, there's strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and even happier life. Keeping active can reduce your risk of major illnesses, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer by up to 50% and lower your risk of early death by up to 30%.
Physical activity is also good for your mental health. Experts believe that exercise releases chemicals in your brain that make you feel good. Physical activity can also boost self-esteem, mood, sleep quality and energy, as well as reducing your risk of mental health problems such as stress, depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
If you're not sure about becoming active or boosting your level of physical activity because you're afraid of getting hurt, the good news is that moderate-intensity aerobic activity, like brisk walking and climbing stairs is generally safe for most people.

Welcome, Guest
McDonald's reported disappointing sales for its fourth quarter today, as the world's largest hamburger chain saw fewer customers visit its restaurants. Is it because of the competition or is it a seasonal effect?
It appears to be a one off thing as mcd is anyways expanding. So i dont think its a concern because the brand is still expanding through its outlets and has good loyal base.
i dont think so.. i think McD is one of the biggest food chains int he world. They have adapted really wella cross the world through glocalisation. They offer good hygenic food and have good branding.
McD is one of the largest foreign franchise chain in India. This is can be true and can be an effect of economic slowdown. Now a days people have been more diet and figure conscious. They are getting more fond of home made food or meal chain than McD burger. A meal costing 80 rupees max to max 100 rupees, where you are getting all types of food items which are needed for a complete course of meal but in case of McD one can get a full hamburger (medium) cost around 80 to 90 and a meal (a medium chicken burger,a medium french fries and a small coke) costs 150 rupees. So here a difference is visualized.
More over McD is more favorable for the school going and college going kids for hangout, a career or job starter. Once one gets married and have a family he /she will like a meal more for a lunch or dinner. else people goes for some snacks or time pass. I think these can be a reason for slowing down McD fascination.

People across much of the planet briefly experienced problems accessing Twitter on Thursday, a day before the 2012 Olympic Games are expected to cause a spike in use of the micro-blogging site.
The San Francisco-based company acknowledged the problem, saying in a statement that its engineers were "currently working to resolve the issue," although it didn't go into further detail. It is the second time in just over a month that the site has been hit by problems.
Visitors to the site on Thursday were greeted with a half-formed message saying that "Twitter is currently down." The fields where a reason for the outage and a deadline for restoring service were apparently meant to go were filled with computer code.
Sluggishness or outages were reported for more than an hour in countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Some users were able to post updates — known as "tweets" — through their phones or third-party applications. Tweets about the Olympic torch, which is wending its way through central London, still poured in, albeit far more slowly than earlier in the day.
Service appeared to be coming back to normal later Thursday, to the relief of many self-proclaimed "Twitter refugees" who'd flooded Facebook with complaints about the outage.
The Olympics are expected to bring an unprecedented surge of activity by sports fans on social networking sites such as Twitter. At the recent European Championship final, users fired off more than 15,000 tweets per second, setting a sports-related record for the site.
Social media users were already complaining about an earlier outage that affected Google's chatting services. The Mountain View, California-based company said Thursday morning that the majority of users were seeing error messages and unable to use its Google Talk service. The issues were resolved five hours later.
In June, Twitter experienced an outage that lasted about two hours, which the company blamed on a technical glitch.

text: From The Sunday Times January 3, 2010 Can West avoid Russia's fate in Afghanistan? After the Soviets left defeated, a war hero from the SAS and one from the Red Army say the same mistakes are being made The white flashes of explosions and red traces of artillery fire filled the moonlit sky on the night of October 7, 2001, as Britain and the US launched the war in Afghanistan against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. From the roof of a mud-caked house in Tobdara, a mountainside village high above the Shomali valley, 30 miles north of the Afghan capital, Kabul, I watched as allied war planes and cruise missiles streaked beyond a high ridge separating us from the front line. Loud explosions echoed into the night as I was joined by a group of hardened Northern Alliance fighters, the loose coalition of former mujaheddin rebels who had sided with the West. Armed with AK-47 machine guns and careful not to use even a torch to avoid attracting incoming fire from an enemy position above, the men had come to witness the twilight of the Taliban. âIt wonât take long,â predicted one, wrapped in an Afghan blanket and wearing a pakol, the woollen round-topped hat favoured by the mujaheddin. âThe Taliban are finished. A few days of heavy bombardment and then weâll go in with a ground assault. Theyâll either flee or die.â His confidence was engaging. But in the dusty plains below there were many reminders of another superpowerâs bloody attempt to wage war in Afghanistan. Soviet tanks and armoured personnel carriers, burnt out and twisted, still littered the country, more than two decades after Moscow had withdrawn its troops, ending its disastrous nine-year war. In the shadow of the Taliban front line, a few miles below Tobdara, the Bagram air base was overgrown and abandoned. The spot from where the Soviets launched their invasion in 1979, it is now the US armyâs largest base in the country. The mujaheddinâs predictions did not take long to come true. Five weeks later Kabul fell. Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were on the run, dispersed in the high mountains along the border with Pakistan. His optimism, however, proved premature. More than eight years since the war began in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Taliban have made a comeback. Over 240 British soldiers have been killed in the war (more than in Iraq), many in ferocious close combat that has been compared to the trench warfare of the first world war. By the end of this year, American and British forces will have been in Afghanistan as long as the Soviets. And yet Russiaâs experience in the country has been largely overlooked by the allies. It was, say American and British generals, a different war fought in different times by a different army. More http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/Afghanistan/article6971683.ece?

UAE's Nasir Aziz warned against bowling doosras
Aziz was reported a second time and was required to submit to an ICC Analysis
Nasir Aziz was reported twice during the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier UAE 2013.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) today announced that the UAE's Nasir Aziz has been warned against bowling doosras in international cricket following an ICC Analysis of his bowling action.
The ICC Analysis showed no significant difference in the majority of Aziz' off-break deliveries between the match footage and laboratory comparisons, however, there were distinct differences in the bowling of the doosra deliveries between the match footage and laboratory comparisons.
Under the ICC Regulations for the Review of Bowlers Reported with Suspected Illegal Bowling Actions, Aziz is permitted to continue to bowl his stock delivery (off-break) in international cricket, but he is warned that should he continue to bowl the doosra delivery that he has previously bowled in match conditions, he will run the risk of being cited again.
The ICC Analysis was performed by Associate Professor Jacque Alderson and her team at the School of Sport Science, Exercise and Health, The University of Western Australia in Perth on 14 January 2014.
Aziz was reported twice during the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier UAE 2013; firstly on 15 November following a group stage match against Uganda, and then on 29 November following his side's semi-final against Ireland.
Aziz was required to submit to a Home Board Analysis, which concluded that he employed a legal bowling action, and, as such, Aziz was permitted to continue bowling in international cricket.
Aziz was reported a second time and was required to submit to an ICC Analysis.
A further report on Aziz' bowling action within a period of two years will require the bowler to submit to a fresh independent analysis. If the independent analysis concludes that Aziz has an illegal bowling action for any type of delivery, he will be suspended from bowling in international cricket for a minimum period of 12 months.
Details of the ICC Regulations for the Review of Bowlers Reported with Suspected Illegal Bowling Actions can be found here.

Styles apology gets him off hook
Rob Styles has escaped punishment for his error in awarding Manchester United a penalty in their 2-0 win against Bolton Wanderers at Old Trafford on Saturday. He will referee the Barclays Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Hull City at White Hart Lane on Sunday. It is common practice for Professional Game Match Officials Limited, the referees' governing body, to "demote" members to the lower leagues - or "rest" them - if they have made a blatant mistake. Styles appears to have been given a reprieve after apologising yesterday.

I have personally tutored school children from grades 8 to 12. I also got to second year varsity Maths at UKZN.
I haven't done Maths since I left high school but I was fairly good at Maths and would be able to help out with younger grades.

TATE Modern | Bhupen Khakhar, You Can't Please All
2 June – 6 November, 2016
With much controversy about the review of the exhibition by Jonathan Jones, this show has brought the art community of the country together, in defending the genius of the Bombay Boy, Bhupen Khakhar.
This is the first institutional retrospective of Khakhar since his death, which brings together his work from over five decades, showcasing vivid works on canvas, luminous watercolour paintings and experimental ceramics, framing a good scape to understand his practice.
A key figure in modern Indian art, renowned for his unique figurative style and incisive observations of class structures and sexuality, Khakhar (1934-2003) played a central role in modern Indian art and was a key international figure in 20th century painting. An accountant-turned-artist, Khakhar demonstrated a commitment to representing his world with unflinching honesty. High and low merged in narrative paintings with influences ranging from devotional aesthetics and street culture to European painting and pop art. He confronted provocative themes, particularly his homosexuality, with rare sensitivity and wit. Haunting portraits of ordinary men and last works describing his struggle with cancer express a rare humanity. His was one of the few artists who didn't fall in line with the Modern Art aesthetics of the time, but brought on vivid colours and the pop features into his works.
This is a must visit from any Mumbai person visiting London, and I may, this is worth making travel plans around!

From first love to the empty nest, eight women talk about defining moments
Losing my virginity
For me, losing my virginity was like whipping off a plaster. Both metaphorically and with regard to the duration. I was always the confident joker among my friends, a slightly older group of rock'n'roll kids in a small seaside town. The trouble was, I felt the need to act more experienced than I was to fit in. So boys would register their interest but preservation of my worldly-wise masquerade stopped me letting them in. Emotionally or otherwise. I felt too embarrassed to let my guard down and expose the truth. All my friends were getting boyfriends and

Who's learning Spanish these days?
For starters, residents of the United States, a bunch not known for conquering monoligualism, are studying Spanish in record numbers. Spanish, too, is becoming of greater importance in Europe, where it often the foreign language of choice after English. And it's no wonder that Spanish is a popular second or third language: with some 400 million speakers, it's the fourth most commonly spoken language in the world (after English, Chinese and Hindustani), and according to some counts it has more native speakers than English does. It is an official language on four continents and is of historical importance elsewhere.'
The numbers alone makes Spanish a good choice for those wanting to learn another tongue. But there are plenty of other reasons to learn Spanish. Here are a few:
Better understanding of English: Much of the vocabulary of English has Latin origins, much of which came to English by way of French. Since Spanish is also a Latin language, you will find as you study Spanish that you have a better understanding of your native vocabulary. Similarly, both Spanish and English share Indo-European roots, so their grammars are similar. There is perhaps no more effective way to learn English grammar than by studying the grammar of another language, for the study forces you to think about how your language is structured. It's not unusual, for example, to gain an understanding of English verbs' tenses and moods by learning how those verbs are used in Spanish.
Knowing your neighbors: Not all that many years ago, the Spanish-speaking population of the United States was confined to the Mexican border states, Florida and New York City. But no more, there may be Spanish-speaking people living on the same street as you do. Knowing Spanish has proven invaluable in speaking with other residents of any town who don't know English.
Travel: Yes, it is perfectly possible to visit Spain or any other Spanish speaking country without speaking a word of Spanish. But it isn't nearly half as much fun.
Cultural understanding: While most of us can't hope to learn the languages of more than one or two cultures other than that of our own, those that we can learn help us to learn how other people learn and think. When you read Latin American or Spanish newspapers, for example, you often find that you gain a sense of how other people think and feel. Spanish also offers a wealth of literature, both modern and traditional.
Learning other languages: If you can learn Spanish, you'll have a head start in learning the other Latin-based languages such as French and Italian. And it will even help you learn Russian and German, since they too have Indo-European roots and have some characteristics (such as gender and extensive conjugation) that are present in Spanish but not English. And I wouldn't be surprised if learning Spanish might even help you learn Japanese or any other non-Indo-European language, since intensive learning the structure of a language can give you a reference point for learning others.
It's easy: Spanish is one of the easiest foreign languages to learn. Much of its vocabulary is similar to English's, and written Spanish is almost completely phonetic: Look at almost any Spanish word and you can tell how it is pronounced. And while mastering the grammar of Spanish can be a challenge, basic grammar is straightforward enough that you can have meaningful communication after only a few Spanish lessons.
Employment opportunities: If you're in the United States and work in one of the helping professions including medicine and education, you'll find your opportunities expand by knowing Spanish. And wherever you live, if you're in any occupation that involves international trade, communications or tourism, you'll similarly find opportunities to use your new language skills.
It's fun: Whether you enjoy talking, reading, or mastering challenges, you'll find all of them in learning Spanish. For many people, there's something inherently enjoyable about successfully speaking in another tongue. Perhaps that's one reason children sometimes speak in Pig Latin or device secret codes of their own. Although learning a language can be work, the efforts pay off quickly when you finally get to use your skills.
For many people, Spanish offers the most rewards with the least effort of any foreign language. It's never too late to begin learning.
