Pasture - NathanielMature
Willow and I shared the other bed and I smiled after she fell asleep. I was very happy that I finally got to tell her then ask her to be with me. It was even better that she said yes. My only regret is that it would have to be done in secret. We had to wait, though, until this all passed over and then maybe we could be a normal couple.
I yawned and put my head next to hers on the same pillow, closing my eyes. She had her hand by her head and I held it. In her sleep, she moved closer, causing my smile to widen even more.
I woke up to the sound of a camera clicking and panicked.
"It's just me," Aaron said, laughing when he saw that Willow woke in shock, too. "You guys were just too cute." He sighed. "I should probably delete it, though, just in case. When this is over, you two better make a pose like that again."
I groaned and put my head back on the pillow. Willow laughed, though.
"Sure, Dad," she said sarcastically. "What time is it?"
"Noon," he answered and I opened my eyes.
"For real?"
"Yep," he said, sitting on the end of the bed. "Now, Vince will see us but he can't until next week. The insurance company has agreed with our decisions. There will be an extra $5,000 we'll have to pay out of pocket for the underground home. Think we can manage that?"
Willow scrunched her nose in thought. It was adorable.
"That's about three months' worth of classes," she mumbled to herself. "Yeah, I think we can."
"Don't you have plenty to spare?" I asked.
Willow nodded. "But we try to avoid splurging," she said. I looked away and she sighed. "I didn't mean it like that, Nathan."
"I know," I said quickly. "It's just something I'll have to work through, that's all."
She held my hand with a smile. "You've got us."
I smiled back and kissed her fingers.
The next day we went back to the barn. Willow immediately ran for the foal. Dr. Mack had just finished checking him over.
"He's 100% fine," she promised and Willow beamed at the foal.
He was trying to walk around without having shaky legs while the mother, Lightning, watched carefully.
"What're you going to name him?" I asked, putting my hand on the small of her back.
"I don't know," Willow said. "Usually we've seen his personality by now but...."
"He's a bit of a hellion," Dr. Mack laughed. "He and Little Bit are best friends, too."
"How about... Dragon?" she suggested.
"You'll confuse the poor horse," I teased and she stuck her tongue out at me. "I like it. Dragons are temperamental and cause all sorts of strife."
"And they breathe fire," Willow whispered.
I looked at Dr. Mack and she nodded, walking out. I wrapped my arm around Willow and kissed her forehead. She leaned into me and cried a little.
"Let's go for a walk," I suggested. "I know you have more land than what I've seen."
Before we left the barn, I kissed her and she smiled. Aaron was talking to Dr. MAck and we let him know what we were going to do.
"Be careful out there," he said and passed Willow a small gun. "Let's plan to leave around 5."
Willow did a mock salute, tucking the gun in her belt loop. "Sir, yes, sir!"
He laughed. "Shoo."
"What's the gun for?" I asked. "Paparazzi?"
She snorted. "I wish. No, it's for snakes or coyotes."
"You get a lot of coyotes?" I asked as we walked down a wide path.
"Sometimes," she said seriously. "It depends on the season and if there are any in the area. I don't think we'll have a problem, though. Not after the fires. Snakes, on the other hand, are a different story."
"Snakes?" I repeated and she turned to me with a devilish smirk.
"Don't tell me Nathaniel Banker is afraid of snakes."
I straightened my back. "Absolutely not. I am worried for your protection, my dear."
She giggled and patted the butt of the gun. "Worry not. I'll protect you."
I snorted. "Let's continue. It's beautiful out here."
"Yeah it is," she agreed. "We'll have to go on a ride when fall comes. It's even more beautiful."
I looped my pinky around hers and she moved closer.
"I think it's beautiful enough," I whispered and she giggled. "How much land do you guys own?"
"About a hundred acres," she answered. "The barn, house, and pasture take up about half of it. The other half is what we're about to see. Warning: It's a little... overgrown."
"With it being just my dad and I, we can't get back here and mow it. The horses take care of the grass in the pasture up front, but I don't like taking them out here unless it was Spirit or Jet."
"Which one is Jet?"
"Oh, he's not with us anymore," she said sadly. "He was my dad's but he passed about five years ago."
"I'm sorry," I whispered.
We continued on in silence until we broke through the trees.
"Oh jeez," I said.
It was beautiful but I'm sure it would look better if it had been trimmed like the rest of the land. Among the weeds were beautiful purple flowers and the air smelled of honeysuckle. I bent down at the edge and frowned.
"No ordinary lawn mower is going to tackle this mess," I said and she sighed.
"Yeah, I know. I want to get a brush hot out here but...." She trailed off with a shrug.
"Well, I need to continue earning my keep," I said. "How about we get one and I'll get out here with it?"
"Really?" she asked, turning to me in surprise. I nodded. "Oh, that would be wonderful!"
"I can do it while you're teaching classes and-"
She kissed me, throwing her arms around my neck. I laughed and kissed her back enthusiastically. I ran my tongue along her lower lip and she accepted my request, causing me to pull her even closer.
"Let's get back," she breathed and checked her phone. "We should probably get you a phone, by the way. This is the only spare we had and, after destroying my other one, Dad gave it to me."
I laughed, walking back but this time not even holding her pinky. It was disappointing but at least I'd get to hold her tonight.
Aaron was waiting for us by the truck and Willow mentioned my lack of a phone.
"We'll go by Verizon tomorrow and get you one," he said. "I just spoke with the builders by the way," he added as we got in the truck. "It'll take six months to get the house livable and even longer to get it completely built."
Willow pouted. "We have to wait that long?"
I laughed. "I'm sure you can be patient."
"Don't be so sure," she said but laughed, too.

12. Ray Finds Out [2/2]
Ray looked as angry as a bull. I swear to god I could see white steam coming from his nose and ears. Oh-my-god, I just saw a Minotaur in front of me.
"What the hell were you doing to my sister?!"
I don't know if Seth just had bad reflexes because even after seeing Ray, he still hadn't let go of my waist. What an idiot!
"We were just, uh, I was teaching Seth how to kiss a girl!" I said, looking hesitantly.
Unfortunately Ray was not convinced. But he looked at me weirdly, the weird look he gave me for the past few years, every time I looked at a boy especially when I looked at Seth Aloysius.
"Yeah, we were just kissing cause I needed practice kissing a girl." Seth said but he said it with a fit of laughter always coming in between. Finally, Seth had let go of my waist.
Ray this time made a move. BAMM! The next minute, I saw Seth flying out my room. "Seth! Ray! What's wrong with you boys?" I screamed.
Seth teleported back to my room and took hold of my hand. "Hello? Isn't our special bond supposed to help us?!"
"I don't know," I muttered and Seth teleported us back to the forest. I didn't know how Ray had followed us back there because the next second he was in the forest along with us.
"Why are you protecting him?" Ray yelled at me as he saw me stepping in front of Seth when he walked towards us. "I'm not going to let Seth get away with the fact that I saw him making out with my sister!"
"Ray, I don't want to hurt you." I said, my voice shaking.
Ray ignored me and ran towards us, his hand pulling back to get ready to punch Seth, but I screamed, "No!!" Just then, his hand inches from Seth and my face, a huge yellow bubble formed around me and Seth and an explosion occurred. Ray flew back and slammed into the trees and slithered to the ground, but that wasn't the only thing that happened. I noticed that the trees had become bent too.
Ray got up, looking a bit hurt which wasn't possible cause he had Super Strength, and walked towards me. "What are you doing to me?!" He yelled.
It started raining. Ray came to me this time, but instead he stretched out his hands and placed them on my shoulders in concern. "I…" My voice faded away but then I found the courage and said, "I like Seth." I stepped back and gently pushed away Ray's hands from my shoulder and held Seth's hand.
Ray stared at me through the long hair that matted on his forehead. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked weakly.
"We were afraid how you were going to react," Seth said this time.
Ray stared at us, gulped and said, "You might as well have told me before. Is there anything else you didn't tell me?
I turned around to look and Seth, and he nodded at me. That's when I told Ray everything, and Ray gaped at us even more. When we finished, he said a bunch of curse words. I grinned and said, "Now Ray, watch your manners."
"Save the crap for later," Ray snapped at me.
"Now you could easily be Seth's older brother," I muttered.
Ray laughed. "Yeah, I could."
And that was when I saw it. Ray and Seth smiled at each other and I swear I saw this electric sort of field thing go through them, like a brotherly bond. It lasted only what seemed like a few seconds but it was definitely magical…
"Well, I sort of am, your brother I mean, cause you guys are like a couple now aren't you?"
Seth and I looked at each other and smiled. "Yeah, we are," Seth said putting his arm around my shoulder and pulling me to him.
"That doesn't mean you guys should be smooching all over town, especially in front of me," Ray said.
My grin grew broader and I said, "Well the reason we were kissing each other in my room wasn't just for fun. Masumi came and cut my leg and the only way Seth can heal me was to kiss me so he did."
Ray frowned. "I don't think so, I mean you managed to heal him when you made the special bond my just crying over his shoulder as you hugged him, right? So I'm pretty sure he can just hold your hands or something and you're healed!"
"Maybe… Look Ray, no one else should know about this, Masumi being Seth's father and stuff," I said.
Ray nodded. "We better get home quick and fix up your room before anyone guesses that we were up to something."
Seth and I nodded and we went back home. How were we supposed to know that in a matter of days, the war was going to begin. Or had it already begun?

P: The development of career has resulted in family values like togetherness and also the perception of role families play to change., rework this sentence. awkward expression.
Amendments: With the development of careers, families have less time to be together and family values may not be as important now. Children may also feel that families are less important.
E: Due to the development of careers, parents have less time with children hence have little opportunities to inculcate values. Insufficient value time with children and little opportunities to complete activities as a family result in the children having the misconception that families are not valuable. Children have little or no sense of belonging to their families and have the perception that families are not very essential in life. Thus, families are no longer that bonded and children no longer see family as a support when things go wrong.
E: Refering to our localised context, there is an increasing trend of teenage crime rates due to them spending more time outside and not going home. Most view friends as being more important than family. According to a study done by National Technological University (NTU), generally,with an increase of family income, adolescent delinquency increases. This shows that due to an increase in demands from their jobs, parents spend less time with teenagers to inculcate right values, thus resulting in greater adolescent delinquency.
Amendments: Referring to our localised context, more youths do not feel that having a family is very important. According to the National Youth Survey 2010, 64% of the youths interviewed felt that divorce is an option after one marries. In the same survey done in 2005, only 20% of the youths felt this way. This shows that youths do not value family as much, and their perception of marriage have changed. More youths are feeling that marriage is no longer a life long commitment. This could be due to the environment they have been brought up, where their parents are almost always working, hence spending little time together as a family. This can in turn cause youths to have the impression that families are not as important.
R: This shows that teenagers think that families are of less value now as less attention is being paid on inculcating values. Family also spend less quality time together, which could bond the family and promote family values.
Counter: Although the government promotes family togetherness through events such as the National Family Celebrations held annually and some companies do give special off days for families to spend value time together, it still does not mitigate the suffering of family vaules. Not all companies may have this policy, and days given are not enough for families to be more bonded and for children to feel the real value of families., Good
P:Due to the limited amount of time, parents may find it hard to juggle between their careers and their children, having to neglect either one of them , leading to emotional suffering for their family.
E: Some parents, in order to build up their careers, have been neglecting their children, not providing enough emotional support and physical care and attention. Hence this leads to emotional suffering of their family members, which in turn may lead to them turning to gangs for emotional comfort, or to gain attention from their parents.
E:Based on our localised context, there is an increasing trend of crime rates caused by teenagers, such as gang related activites by which most of them come from families with career-driven parents whom neglected them, Avoid using similar examples, in this case crime rates have been mentioned twice in 'values' and 'emotional' suffering. Already, both points are rather similar, you'll be further adding to this impression if you use the same illustrations for the points.
R:This shows that with the high demands of attention in both career building and family, parents may tend to focus more on their work than their children, which may lead to neglect. This adversely affects the emotional well being of a child whom yearns the attention and love from their parents, leading to emotional suffering
Counter: Some families may hire helpers from indonesia to help take on the role as homemakers, and even which these helpers may even become closer to the children than their parents. Even so, these emotional attachments is very hard to replace the emotional support, warmth and love that a child yearns from his or her own biological parents. These helpers no doubt can replace parents by being the homemakers in the family, but not the roles of being a parent to the child., Good
P: Meritocracy in Singapore has made it such that excelling in one's career is expected of everyone.
E: Only with a stable career can the breadwinner of the family feel like he has a stake in our nation. Moreover, one's career in Singapore is an indicator of his or her social status. In pursuit of one's career, he or she may be too caught up with their work life that they fail to see the more meaningful things in life like family.
E: More young adults are settling down later and divorce rates are at an all-time high mostly due to career aspirations.
R: Some whose visions are too clouded by the prospects of a high-paying job see their family as a hindrance preventing them from progressing further. For example, they perceive their families as a burden and even neglect them when their job gets them posted overseas.
Very good point. This is not a 'suffering' the family faces but this puts the Singapore context in the spotlight. From the layout of the mindmap, I'm assuming that this is your 3rd supporting point. Might be better to place this as first supporting point instead for better flow. I.e. showing why there is an emphasis on advancing one's career in Singapore before talking about the negative repurcussions.
P: As both parents are working adults, there is a steady income flow in the family, which leads to the ability to meet basic needs of the family and not induce suffering.
E:Basic necessities of the family such as shelter, food, water, electricity etc are provided as both parents can afford to purchase them. Thus, the standards of living of the family is satisfactory as everyone is able to live comfortably with a roof over their head, 3 meals per day, water to drink and electricity to enjoy., Good. Can also elaborate how some lower income families are unable to make ends meet with only one breadwinner in the family and would thus 'suffer' more if both parents are not employed.
Amendments: In contrast, a lower income family with only a sole breadwinner would find it challenging to make ends meet. The situation for families with both parents unemployed would be even more unthinkable, as there is absolutely no one in the family who can provide the basic bread and butter for the family.
E:Between the years 2000 to 2011, Singapore's Human Development Index (HDI) has risen from 0.801 to 0.866, in which HDI refers to the literacy rate, life expectancy and standards of living of the country. This statistics show that the standards of living in Singapore has increased steadily over the years as the country become more developed due to a more competent workforce.Thus, working parents are bringing more to the table which results in better quality of life.
R:Therefore, the physical well-being of each individual in a family is being taken care of and that there is no suffering.
P: Career is not the only factor affecting the cohesion within a family, the will of family members to keep the family together overrules everything else.
E: While it is true that over-ambitiousness on a parent's part may lead to neglect of their children, we cannot fairly pinpoint career as a dominant effect on the relationships between family members. Career itself has not driven families apart but rather exacerbated the rift within a family with volatile backgrounds to start with. Should parents be inadequate in their methods of bringing up their children, taking up a job will only deprive the child of proper upbringing. And no matter how generous an income these parents are able to rake in, it still cannot make up for the time lost spent on their careers instead of their loved ones. When such a situation arises, this truly spells the downfall of a family and the purpose of "family"., Good
E: There are instances in Singapore where parents are able to handle both the success of the careers and ensure the healthy growth of their children.
R: Aptly put, love conquers all and it is not fair to conclude that career directly affects familial ties. Only with constant efforts to spend quality time with love ones can a family have cohesion.
Good introduction. Informative, concise and clear. One thing though, refrain from ending your intro in such an open-ended manner ("If these sufferings do exist..."). State your stand clearly and not wait till the end of the essay.
Good conclusion. Just be mindful of the second sentence, working options usually tend to stretch past the conventional 9-5 for many so it is not entirely accurate to say that they now have more time with their loved ones.

The percentage of toxins in his system was so abnormally excessive that the Frenchman should have been suffering symptoms including severe headaches and nausea, the High Court was told.
Yet hours before his death, Mr Paul was captured on CCTV at the Ritz Hotel parking his car, walking around and even tying his shoelaces in apparent good health.
Scroll down for more...
Mohamed al Fayed, whose son Dodi died in the August 1997 crash along with Mr Paul and Diana, Princess of Wales, is convinced the samples were switched as part of a wide-ranging MI6 cover up.
He claims the couple were assassinated on the orders of the Duke of Edinburgh who disapproved of his former daughter-in-law's relationship with a Muslim.
Yesterday Richard Keen QC, the barrister representing Henri Paul's parents, suggested that the samples had been "spiked" in an attempt to "post humously murder" the Frenchman's reputation and portray him as unfit and a drunk.
Toxicologist Professor Robert Forrest, who has already suggested that Mr Paul may have drunk up to eight glasses of strong spirits in the hours before the crash, leaving him twice the UK legal drink drive limit, admitted that he could not find any logical explanation for the findings.
"One is left with either analytical error or a mystery," he told the jury.
"It's either conspiracy or cock-up."
According to tests carried out by two French medical experts hours after the Paris crash, the levels of carbon monoxide in Mr Paul's blood ranged between 12 and 21 per cent.
This compares to a normal reading of around two to four percent. Several possibilities were explored including the suggestion that the driver inhaled gas from the airbag of the Mercedes after impact.
This was discounted by Prof Forrest, however.
Scroll down for more...
The best suggestion that he could come up with yesterday was that the reading could have been connected to his heavy smoking.
He also pointed out that the machine used to measure blood gas was a "good piece of kit" but not one designed for post mortem analysis.
But Prof Forrest admitted that it was "very, very unlikely" Mr Paul could have realistically had such a high level of Carboxyhaemoglobin concentration in his blood and said there was no rational explanation for the result.
"I would say still that this is the one thing that worries me most about this investigation," he said.
"I still have not managed to achieve an intellectual resolution which totally satisfies me."
Earlier Prof Forrest told the jury that the amount of alcohol the driver had consumed in the hours before the crash had left him twice the UK drink drive limit and three times the French.
"The alcohol present in his blood at the time of death would, unequivocally, have adversely affected his ability to safely control a motor vehicle," he said.
Scroll down for more...
The jury was told that they would, in due course, hear evidence from Mr Paul's closest friend, Claude Garrec, that he was a "convivial, bon vivant" whose tolerance to alcohol was such that he would fail to show signs of being drunk.
Indeed, according to Mr Garrec, his old friend would 'regularly' drink and drive without any "noticeable effect".
Prof Forrest agreed that this was not uncommon in heavy drinkers such as Mr Paul, who was described in court yesterday as a "chronic user of excessive amounts of alcohol".
"When you have had a few drinks you can often drive a route that you known well without any adverse problems developing or being apparent. But if something unexpected happens, some unusual combination of events takes place, that is when the driver who has been drinking may well come to grief," he said.
The inquest will hear today (Wed) from bodyguard Trevor Rees, the only survivor of the crash.
Former paratrooper Mr Rees, who was working for Mr Al Fayed, broke every bone in his face and suffered terrible chest and head injuries.
In a written statement which was read to the court yesterday, his psychiatrist Dr Maurice Lipsedge warned that he may never remember the final moments of the doomed journey.
"In view of the time that has elapsed, the chances of him recovering his memory are very slight," he said.
Mr Lipsedge said he had three psychiatric counselling sessions with Mr Rees, the first just a month after the accident.
"He is an exceptionally strong person who has not suffered from depression or post-traumatic stress since the accident, " he said.
"[But] He sustained severe head injuries and it is quite common for this to cause major problems with memory.
"In this case, Trevor Rees-Jones remembers getting into the Mercedes in the Rue Cambon and the car driving off.
"He remembers nothing after that."Reuse content

text: Chapter 12 - 2 Pushdown Automata 1 Section 12.2 Pushdown Automata • A pushdown automaton (PDA) is a finite automaton with a stack that has stack operations pop, push, and nop. PDAs always start with one designated symbol on the stack. A state transition depends on the input symbol and the top of the stack. The machine then performs a stack operation and enters the next state. • Representation can be graphical or with sets of 5-tuples. For example: or (i, b, C, pop, j) 2 Nondeterminism • Execution: If the machine is in state i and the input letter is b and C is on top of the stack, then pop the stack and enter state j. • Nondeterminism can occur in two ways, as in the following examples. 3 Acceptance • A string w is accepted by a PDA if there is a path from the start state to a final state such that the input symbols on the path edges concatenate to w. Otherwise, w is rejected. 4 Example • A PDA to accept the language {anbn | n > 0} as a graph and as a set of 5-tuples. 5 Quiz • How would you modify the machine to accept {anbn | n ∈ N}? • Answer: Add the instruction (0, ٨, X, nop, 2). 6 Example/Quiz • Find a PDA to accept the language {a2nbn | n ∈ N}. • A solution: 7 Empty-Stack Acceptance • A PDA can also be defined to accept a string by the condition that the stack is empty. The two types of acceptance are equivalent in that they both define PDAs that accept the same class of languages. 8 Transform final-state acceptance to empty-stack acceptance • Introduce a new start state s, a new start symbol Y, a new empty state e, and construct edges and actions as shown in the diagram below. Note that ? stands for any stack symbol. 9 Quiz • If the final-state PDA is deterministic, the transformed empty-stack PDA could benondeterministic. Why? • Answer: If the final-state PDA has an edge emitted from a final state, then the empty-stack PDA constructs a nondeterministic choice from that final state. For example, a final-state PDA for {abncn | n ∈ N} could have a final state k to accept the string a that also emits an edge to take care of any string abn + 1cn + 1. The emptystack PDA would construct a nondeterministic choice from k by adding instructions of the form (k, ٨, ?, pop, e). 10 Transform empty-stack acceptance to final-state acceptance • Introduce a new start state s, a new start symbol Y, a new final state f, and construct edges and actions as shown in the diagram below. 11 Quiz • If the empty-stack PDA is deterministic, then the transformed final-state PDA is also deterministic. Why? • Answer: Because the instructions of the emptystack PDA do not use stack symbol Y. So the only time a new instruction can be executed is when Y is on top of the stack, meaning that the empty-stack PDA has emptied it's original stack and can't move. 12 Theorem • The context-free languages are exactly the languages accepted by PDAs. • Proof: We'll see two algorithms, one to transform a C-F grammar into an emptystack PDA, and one to transform an empty-stack PDA into a C-F grammar. QED. 13 Transform a C-F grammar to empty-stack PDA • The idea is to construct a PDA whose execution corresponds to a leftmost derivation.The PDA has one state, but we allow multiple stack operations. The stack symbols are the terminals and nonterminals of the grammar. The designated starting stack symbol is the grammar start symbol. We'll illustrate the algorithm with an example. 14 The Example 15 Examples 16 Transform an empty-stack PDA to a C-F grammar • The idea is to construct a grammar whose leftmost derivations correspond to computation sequences. For each stack symbol B and each pair of states i and j construct a nonterminal Bij from which a leftmost derivation will correspond to a computation sequence that starts in state i with B on the stack and ends in state j with B popped from the stack. 17 Cont'd (For the following instructions, the dotted lines represent possible paths to states that pop the desired stack symbol.) 18 Example/Quiz • Use the algorithm to transform the following empty-stack PDA into a C-F grammar. 19 Solution 20 Quiz • Simplify the preceding grammar by deleting productions that do not derive terminal strings and productions that are not reachable from the start symbol. 21 Example • We'll try to find a grammar for the language L = {w ∈ {a, b}* | na(w) = nb(w)} by constructing an empty-stack PDA to accept L and then transforming it into a CF grammar. Consider the following singlestate empty-stack PDA. 22 Idea of Proof • Assume, WLOG, that the input string begins with a. Then A is pushed and this action continues for each consecutive a. When the first b occurs, A is popped, which means that an a-b pair has been counted. The only way to get back to X on top is if the string has an equal number of a's and b's so far. If the input is exhausted, then pop X and accept the string. Otherwise, the process continues as described. 23 Nondeterministic PDAs are more powerful than deterministic PDAs • An example is to consider the language of even palindromes over {a, b}. A contextfree grammar for the language is given by S → ٨ | aSa | bSb • Any PDA to accept the language must make a nondeterministic decision to start comparing the second half of a string with the reverse of the first half. 24 Quiz 25 The End of Chapter 12 - 2 26

PieChart colors rotate every time dataset is cleared and set again
Knut Arne Vedaa
Jan 26, 2013 12:45 PM
If you have a
pieChart = new PieChart(myObsList)
and do e.g.
myObsList setAll newData
the colors of the chart will rotate one step every time, i.e. the first item in the list will get a different color every time.
Is this by design? It is clearly not desirable (the same input - data - gives different output - colors - depending on what happened before), so are there any work-arounds?

Merchant of Venice
I've read some commentary that suggests that Antonio is homosexual.
I've read some commentary that suggests that Antonio is homosexual.
If you read the text, Bassanio is melancholy at the beginning of the play for reasons that concern his business;
Actually, Salerio and Salanio are the ones who babble about Antonio's business.
In truth, Antonio is incapable of discussing where his sadness stems from. He deeply loves Bassanio, perhaps more than platonic love, and shows this love by self-sacrificing his own happiness in order to see Bassanio happy. (Therefore, taking the bond....) Salerino and Solanio seem to know about Antonio's love for Bassanio when Antonio and Bassanio's final goodbye takes place prior to Bassanio's departure for Belmont.
One problem with reading older works is that up until the modern era, male friends frequently referred to their feelings for other men in terms of love and affection. This in no way implies that they were gay! Only a modern reader would make that interpretation. A great example of this can be seen in many of the letters written by Abraham Lincoln to male colleagues with whom he was close. This merely was how men expressed themselves in daily conversation and in letters to one another - it did not intimate anything sexual. The same is likely true with respect to Bassanio.
I agree with the last comment made by John. Yes it is true, Antonio does love Bassanio, but not in a gay sort of way. He loves him as a brother, and that being such, he wants him to be happy. So he cosigns with him for the loan...
I think it very clear antonio is gay. Consider: as a young gentleman about town, Bassanio would be unlikely to associate with merchants, plus A is clearly much older than him. He is certainly wringing Antonio dry of money. On asking him for the cash to woo Portia, A tells B to 'try my credit in the town', yet B comes back with A's mortal enemy, Shylock. So Antonio's credit must be in ruins but that doesn't stop Bassanio.
Why is antonio not married? By the extent of his fortune and the tone of his behaviour, he is not a young man and he is very rich (he can clear debts for those Shylock is foreclosing on) You'd expect him to be married.
Now, look at his mental state. He's made this wild decision to put all his fortune into very risky investments in ships cargoes: so risky, that the rumour of it has wrecked his credit. Antonio tries to deny it to Salerio and Salanio.
This is the action of a very depressed man (and we know he is 'sad', for no explained reason) who knows he can never have love and home and family, so, why not throw away his money? Who is he saving for? What dynasty is he building? May as well just make these wild investments, so what if they don't come back. And even when Shylock claims the bond, Antonio is prepared to die.
Other indications: when Bassanio asks Shylock for the 3000 ducats loan, Shylock asks if Antonio is 'good' meaning 'good for the money' but Bassanio gets very defensive about this question, making Shylock give a wry answer, like "calm down, I didn't mean anything…"
And when Shylock claims the bond, Antonio refers to himself as a sick sheep, something that is better off dead. His language and actions towards B are excessive: he weeps when B leaves for Belmont, he gives him so much money, he takes on this bond: these are lover's actions.
But does B love A? Well, he definitely exploits him and has done for years, doesnt really try to stop him signing the bond, leaves him to deal with it, insensitively tells him about Portia, even wanting money to woo her! B is very handsome, young, charming, everyone wants to be around him, it is just like Oscar and Bosie. The older man, with money and sophistication, and the younger with beauty and youth. Very ancient Greek, too.
But notice Bassanio doesnt weep when parted from A, he only really seems to appreciate him when A is in danger. And look at the letter A sends: he obviously thinks there is a very good chance Bassanio wont come to support him when Shylock takes his flesh.
Antonio's savage treatment of Shylock can be explained by his homosexuality too. It's a fact that oppressed people take out frustration on those more oppressed, as white trash farmers were the worst oppressors of blacks in the Deep South. Here's someone for Antonio to kick around and relieve his feelings. This man is a sick sheep indeed. In a better society, a man like this can find a partner and be fulfilled, but in his day, he could not live openly tho of course, it went on, and Shylock's sly "good" remark seems to say everyone knows.
So when Antonio is in true danger, Bassanio suddenly realizes what a man and friend he is and declares he loves him more than Portia. Don't suppose he means it but he is very upset and A is going to die anyway.
At the end, A is all alone on the stage. The others, in couples, have gone indoors. Shylock is shut out of his community, and A is shut out of his. They have more in common than they know….
Yes Antonio was a homosexual. You can't blame in on 14th and 15th century writing. There is clear indication in the text. It is never explained why antonio is sad in the beggining. Well the metchant of venice is a play about love amoung other things. I do not have the text infront of me otherwise I would quote specific lines, But in act 1 scene one when Antonio is first introduced. If you read closely there are numerous homosexual inuendus and hints as to his sexuality, and it dosn't stop there. Throughout the entire play there are hints as to what is going on. This question actually came up in my readings of will class and we examined the evidence. If you still don't believe me I can go through the text and find examples for you, just let me know.

The tikit is a 16-inch wheel folding bicycle with an unusually fast folding mechanism that can be folded/unfolded in less than five seconds. The tikit is manufactured in the USA by Bike Friday.
The tikit is available in three sizes: small, medium, and large. The effective top tube for the three sizes is 50 cm (19.69 in) (small), 55 cm (21.65 in) (medium), and 60 cm (23.62 in) (large). The size-Large tikit is built with a slightly thicker tubing to support larger riders. The weight for the small and medium sizes is about 24 pounds (10.9 kg). The large size is about 25 pounds (11.3 kg). When folded, the size-Small tikit fits into a 15×24×35-inch (38×61×89 cm) space.
The stock tikit comes with an 8-speed SRAM rear cassette gear, in black or black/blue. Bike Friday also provides build-to-order versions, including 9-, 24-, and fixed 1-speed in a variety of colors.
Custom options are also available.[1]
The tikit folds in a unique manner.[2] A hard slap on the seatpost pushes it forward and disengages a pin held by spring steel connecting the seat mast to the rear of the bike. This enables the rear half of the tikit to rotate vertically under the bike. The seat post and handlebar stem then each fold down at slight angles to body.
A hole in an arm attached to the bottom bracket shell snaps onto a pin attached to the drive side of the lower seat tube (part of the main frame), locking the rear end in place. A pin attached to the side of the seatmast snaps into a hole in a piece attached to the non-drive side of the mainframe, locking it in place. Finally, a cap on the end of a screw attached to the stem slides into a slot on the drive side of the mainframe, securing it. This allows the bike to be picked up as one piece without unfolding and also allows the bike to wheel around by the front wheel, unlike the other Bike Fridays.
Unlike the Brompton or Birdy, this fold is not particularly compact; in fact, it is larger than many 20-and-16-inch (51 and 41 cm) wheel folding bicycles (such as those from Dahon). However, the tikit's claim to fame is the speed of the fold in its "Hyperfold" model. Here, the action of rotating the rear of the bike slackens an internal cable which enables the handlebar stem to be folded. As a result, no quick release clamps, latches, or locks are involved in the fold. This feature, unique among folding bicycles, enables the tikit to fold easily in under five seconds.
Model History[edit]
The tikit was introduced in 2007. Early versions of the tikit employed a pair of brake cables in the hyperfold mechanism. This mechanism permitted excessive flex in the handlebar stem when ridden.
In 2008 a new version of the tikit replaced the pair of brake cables with a single, and much thicker, cable, plus other improvements to the handlebar stem and to the rear seat pin assembly. The resulting bike is much stiffer. Bike Friday provides an upgrade path for 2007 tikits which provides some of the 2008 features, notably the new cable assembly.
In 2008 a second version of the tikit was introduced known as the "Model T", which sports a Brompton-style "twiddly knob" on the handlebar stem rather than the cable mechanism. This extends the folding time to about ten seconds. The "Model T" is $250 cheaper than the "Hyperfold" version.
In 2009, Bike Friday announced a safety recall for the Tikit. The "aardvark"—the portion of the seatmast which folds down on its hinge—had developed a stress crack in many instances due to weight from the rider. Bike Friday sent out a special brace which completed a triangle in the aardvark and strengthened it, and also replacement aardvarks in some cases. In late 2009 Bike Friday introduced a new, stronger one-piece aardvark with the bike's handle integrated into a curved bar, replacing the brace.
In 2010, Bike Friday announced a second safety recall[3] for the Tikit, this one having to do with the stem. Geometric considerations force a small wheel bicycle to use a long stem, which is under considerable torque. Dahon Folding Bicycles also had a handlebar recall[4] in 2008.

Sporting wisdom develops through experience but the Bulls have not studied enough of that history.
One of rugby's creeds says you kick for goal nine times out of 10, if not every occasion.
The Chiefs clipped the spare ticket in Hamilton when Lelia Masaga scored from a lineout but the Bulls tried the same ploy three times in Pretoria and failed each time.
They were leading 20-19 and with Morne Steyn kicking well on his home soil, captain Dewald Potgeiter bypassed him to search for a try. In the midst of those three failures Steyn had a dropped goal drift wide as well.
None of it made sense. Certainly not to Bulls coach Frans Ludeke, whose exasperation showed through the television pictures as he sent his trainer out with instructions.
Steyn kicked a penalty when the Bulls were awarded a fourth late chance but the lead was not enough as the Brumbies claimed a converted try to centre Tevita Kuridrani with 90 seconds left to win 26-23.
The fate of the Super 15 semifinal lay with a decision from South African TMO Shaun Veldsman as the Loftus crowd roared their disgust. Veldsman gave the backline move a green light and the Brumbies were into the final. It continues their ascendant season under the command of former Springbok coach Jake White, who has helped transform the squad into a group with strong plans and an unbending spine.
They lost captain David Pocock and midfield back Pat McCabe but have wrung a great deal from the group.
George Smith has made a stunning return to his old team after White asked for help from the veteran.
The 33-year-old flanker was immense in the semifinal, pinching breakdown ball, slamming Bulls players in contact and shrugging them aside with his carries.
Smith's grappling effort to hold up Bulls lock Grant Hattingh over the line was a superb example of the flanker's influence and his duel with Tanerau Latimer, Sam Cane, Liam Messam and co on Saturday night will be huge.
Five-eighths Matt Toomua is another who is firing for the Brumbies. Toomua kicks and runs strongly and it was his late blindside snipe past a tiring forward and an over-eager Francois Hougaard, which created the winning try for Veldsman.
Tackling is one of Toomua's strengths and unlike other five-eighths in Australia, he defends up in the line which gives the Brumbies better definition.
Victory for the Brumbies means they are going to the final for the first time in nine years. It was a time, captain Ben Mowen said, for them to "write new stories".

You know that I, like millions of Soviet citizens, over 20 million, was a member of the Communist Party of the USSR and not only was I a member of the party but I worked for almost 20 years for an organization called the Committee for State Security [KGB]. I was not, as you know, a party member by necessity. I liked Communist and socialist ideas very much and I like them still.
-- Russian President Vladimir Putin; statement made at meeting of All-Russia People's Front in Stavropol; published in Newsweek, January 25, 2016
Communism is the sole system under which our country had it all. Today's authorities have destroyed everything that was built up by the Soviets. Sooner or later, by whatever means, the Communist Party will come to power again.
-- Vladimir Obukhovsky, head of Youth League of Communist Party of Russian Federation; published in Newsweek, July 31, 2016
This is our program as we call on the leaders of our countries to seek closer integration, establish the Eurasian Union, the Customs Union. We do not doubt that a new Union of friendly peoples will be created.
-- Kazbek Taysayev, MP, State Duma, Deputy First Secretary of Central Committee of Communist Party of Russian Federation; statement made at 39th Congress of Communist Party of Armenia, Yerevan, November 29, 2014
[The Customs Union] is an unprecedented step toward the restoration of the Soviet Union. I give you journalists a directive to write that [the] Soviet space will be restored in 2017. This is a symbolic date because the Bolsheviks established their rule in 1917.
-- Pavel Borodin, State Secretary, Union State of Russia and Belarus; quoted by Interfax-Ukraine, December 18, 2009
The plans for the resurrection of the USSR are well known to Putin and the present regime and are outlined in the documents of the UCP-CPSU [Union of Communist Parties, which includes the Communist Party of the Russian Federation] and Communist Party of the Union [State of Russia and Belarus].
-- Oleg Shenin (1937-2009), mastermind behind August 1991 anti-Gorbachevist putsch; published in Northstar Compass, April 2003
Once Upon a Time in the West holds to the position that the "collapse" of communism in Eastern Europe between 1989 and 1991 was part of a long-range strategic deception orchestrated by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Communist Party of China, and sister parties worldwide. After a period of hibernation and regrouping, Moscow and her allies would then establish a stronger worldwide communist federation, with the ultimate intent of destroying and/or assimilating the capitalist nations.
Current events are analyzed here in the light of this thesis, such that, for example, the Eurasian Union represents a revived Soviet Union, while the Collective Security Treaty Organization represents a revived Warsaw Pact, etc. To this end, we monitor Communist Bloc military exercises, the activities and statements of Soviet communists, the spread of neo-communism in Latin America, and the Islamo-Marxist alliance.
All information is based on open-source documentation, including mainstream and state media, communist websites, and Soviet Bloc defector testimony, such as that of KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn. We do not publish classified information.
In a March 1989 memorandum to the US Central Intelligence Agency, Golitsyn revealed the dreadful conclusion of Mikhail Gorbachev's "perestroika" reforms: "The final period of 'restructuring' in the United States and Western Europe would be accompanied, not only by the physical extermination of active anti-Communists, but also by the extermination of the political, military, financial, and religious elites. Blood will be spilled and political re-education camps would be introduced."
In the same memorandum, written six years before the Oklahoma City bombing and 12 years before the September 11 terrorist attacks, Golitsyn predicts: "The Russians may be expected to provoke an incident unattributable to themselves involving the explosion of a nuclear device somewhere in the West not excluding the United States. The purpose would be to reassert or re-emphasize the necessity for the American-Russian partnership now, and to create pressure for eventual World Government."
Four years later, in a February 1993 memorandum, Golitsyn warned: "Ignore Russian and Chinese strategic designs against the United States at your peril."
In November 2008, following Barack Hussein Obama's election to the presidency, Gorbachev urged the president-elect to implement "perestroika," or socialist restructuring, in the USA. In an interview with Italy's La Stampa, he said: "The world is waiting for Obama to act. The White House needs to restore trust in cooperation with the United States among the Russians." On March 20, 2009, Obama and his vice president, Joe Biden, held a secret meeting with Gorbachev at the White House. No minutes were released. We can only speculate that the former Soviet dictator once again urged President Obama to communize the USA.
This blog does not propagate "New World Order conspiracy theories." We acknowledge that Western mega-capitalists have organized themselves into a number of clandestine and semi-clandestine transnational associations committed to the utopian ideal of world government. By asserting that these organizations are the true threat to the West, however, the Left and the Faux Right are parroting communist propaganda.
The title of this blog is a hat tip to the Dire Straits song and the spaghetti western movie, but instead of the US "Old West" we are referring to the moral declension of Western Civilization and its inability to neutralize the neo-communist threat.

Golitsyn was not merely another defector. He was, as far as British intelligence was concerned, probably the most important defector in recent history.
-- Stephen de Mowbray, MI6
The KGB was afraid that Golitsyn could blow everything they were working on. If they couldn't kill him, they had to discredit him or at least muddy the waters. [Soviet defectors] Nosenko, Fedora, Top Hat were all part of that mission.
-- Newton "Scott" Miler, CIA
If you want to understand Soviet deception, you have to go back to the Trust. It is the prototype.
-- James Jesus Angleton (1917-1987), Director of Counterintelligence, CIA
On the same day that the Soviet Empire's international terrorist network attacked North America, the Russian Federation was conducting nuclear bomber "exercises." Can you imagine if the fourth hijacked airliner had smashed into the White House or Capitol Building, instead of crashing into a Pennsylvania field?
They'll be back. Will we be ready?
I think there's military-grade planning behind it.
-- John Thompson, MacKenzie Institute, Ottawa; quoted in National Post, September 12, 2001
A few days ago, here in South Africa, we had a 2 hour documentary about George Bush"s war on terror. I missed the opening, but from what I could make out it originated from Channel 4 in England.
The real piece of information I heard which just stuck in my mind came from the mouth of Vladimir Putin himself. Putin was interviewed extensively. Putin said that a week before 9/11, he was talking to Bush on the phone and he said to Bush that he had "an ominous feeling something was going to happen, something which had been planned for a long time." Those were Putin"s words as best I could remember them.
I think Putin knew something specific beforehand. I think people should consider the possibility that Putin knew exactly that 9/11 was going to happen. -- Jan Lamprecht, African Crisis, September 11, 2002
The Western Left and Faux Right are in agreement with the Soviet communists: the US Government perpetrated the 911 attacks. Don't fall for this lie.

Poem: A Statistician from Needham
This limerick was written by Columbia University professor of biostatistics, Joseph L. Fleiss (1938 -2003). It was published along with three other limericks by Dr. Fleiss in a letter to the editor of "The American Statistician" (volume 2; 1967, page 49). It was written while he worked as a biostatistician at the Department of Mental Hygiene of the State of New York just prior to receiving his Ph.D. and joining the faculty at Columbia.

All reader reviews by MC
Blue Elephant
Went to Blue Elephant last night after hearing lots of good reviews about it. The atmosphere and decor was truly amazing and didn't fail to impress. The food too, was really tasty and the service pretty good too. Although for two the bill came to over £80 and we only had once course, a couple of beers and a coffee each. A tad steep for what it was. Would go back, but only for a really special occasion.

The Y in Central Maryland • It's deeper here®
Find your fit
Nothing looks as good as healthy feels
Increase motivation and performance
Train smarter. See Results.
For strength, support and solidarity
Y personal trainers are certified fitness professionals who are friendly, understanding, approachable and realistic. They specialize in a variety of training styles and methods to meet your needs, all of which can be tailored specifically for you!
There are over 50 trainers in the Y in Central Maryland. To meet the trainers at your Family Center Y, click the appropriate link below.
Y personal trainers are certified fitness professionals who are experts at working with you to build an effective health and wellness routine that meets your needs. Our trainers provide that little nudge that holds you accountable to yourself. As we like to say, a Y personal trainer is your coach...motivator...teacher...cheerleader...friend!
Y Personal Trainers specialize in a variety of training styles, including:
Styles vary by trainer and location.
There are several benefits to personal training. Here are just a few.
If you're not seeing the results you want, it always seems easier to throw in the towel. With a trainer by your side, you'll have a certified, experienced guide to motivate you through all the ups and downs of physical fitness, making sure you meet your goals.
Your body can adapt to a workout routine in 4 to 6 weeks. Exercises that were effective a month ago may not be today. A personal trainer will provide a variety of options to keep your spirit, mind and body challenged.
Boredom is one of the top reasons people stray from their workout routine. A personal trainer will not only notice the early warning signs of burnout, but can provide new challenges to keep your mind interested and your body engaged.
Even if you're 100% dedicated to physical fitness, doing exercises incorrectly can lead to injury and disappointing results. All of our personal trainers have gone through rigorous exercise and safety certifications to be sure that your program is not only effective, but safe.
The temptation is always strong to sleep in or go home early rather than workout—unless you know someone is at the gym waiting for you. By simply being there at a designated time each day, your personal trainer gives you the extra push you need to meet your personal fitness goals.
Our trainers want to motivate you today! Check out these trainer tips and put them to use. Get more tips on our Y Personal Training Pinterest page.
Small group training is ideal for those who prefer a group exercise environment but still want the individualized attention they need to meet and exceed their specific fitness goals.

Class will utilize but not be limited to free weights, body weight, kettle bells and many other tools to provide confidence and mastery of safe weight training.
Program will focus on use of Total Gym Gravity trainers. Involves total body resistance exercises to develop strength, balance, flexibility and core stability using your natural body weight. All fitness levels welcome.
Rise & Grind
Start your day the right way! This moderate intensity program is designed to safely introduce participants to the latest functional training methods utilizing equipment to help improve strength, flexibility, balance and cardiovascular fitness. All fitness levels welcome.
Small group trianing rates are based on the length of each individual program and how many times it's offered in a session. For example, a 30-minute TRX program that is offered eight times in a 4-week session will cost $80 ($10 per program x 8 offerings). Sessions can be four, six or eight weeks long.
*Small group training rates are applied to the full program session. Sessions and rates can not be altered based on your availability.
Some Y Centers offer a drop-in option for small group training. Drop-in is a good option if you want to try a program to see if it's right for you before you register.

A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of the February 2016 webcast, Teaming Agreements: Lessons Learned from the Courtroom.
Teaming agreements are one of the most common, but least understood, documents used by government contractors today. Like contractors, judges seem uncertain of what rights and obligations are created by a teaming agreement if the parties fail to cement their relationship with a subcontract. In Virginia alone, courts have changed positions three times on the enforceability of teaming agreements—creating an unpredictable no-man's-land of teaming agreement litigation. A well-drafted teaming agreement can better protect your client's rights in the event the teaming relationship sours. This seminar will provide tips on how to improve your client's written teaming agreements.
Save up to 40% on online seminars and webcasts with the purchase an 8- or 12-credit Online Bundle. Take up to 365 days to choose the programs you want.

Mule (Stealth)Mature
Paul knew better than to blow this opportunity with over-zealous recklessness. He hopped on the mule and trotted off into the sunset, feeling like the hero of an old western.
He daydreamed of his arrival. Hitching his mule to a nearby horse hitch, readying his six-shooter, kicking through the old saloon-style doors, and demanding a duel from Mr. Ghoul. His dream of nineteenth century heroism came to an abrupt end when he heard the sound of several nearby off-road vehicles. Scanning the horizon, Paul spotted a billow of dust moving towards him. He hopped off his mule and slid down a nearby ledge, hoping the jungle would hide him from sight.
The roar of engines came to a halt and the billow of dust began to settle. The vehicles had stopped several meters away from Paul, but they were close enough that he could hear conversation. The sound of several thick-soled boots crunched on towards him. Paul peeked over the ledge and spotted several men, each bearing a symbol on their arm, the same symbol that had been crudely drawn on Joe's note. "That scumbag contact, he must be working for Mr. Ghoul," Paul thought to himself, "he must have told them!"
Unable to comprehend their conversation, Paul peeked over the ledge again. The men were scanning the horizon with their firearms ready. He knew they were aware he was nearby. Pulling his sidearm from its holster, he readied himself for a fight. Adrenaline began to pump through his veins. His instincts kicked in, but would he fight or flee?

Symptoms of Marfan syndrome
Marfan syndrome can affect many parts of the body, including the skeleton, eyes, and heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular system).
The severity of the symptoms varies widely. Some people experience a few mild symptoms, whereas others – about 1 in 10 – experience more severe symptoms.
The symptoms of Marfan syndrome tend to get more severe as a person gets older.
Someone with Marfan syndrome may have several distinct physical characteristics. They may be:
tall and slim, with long, thin arms and legs
have loose and very flexible joints
If your child is particularly slim or tall for their age, it doesn't necessarily mean they have Marfan syndrome. It's a rare syndrome, and your child will usually have a number of other symptoms if they have it.
Other physical characteristics of Marfan syndrome can include:
a small lower jaw
a high, arched palate (roof of the mouth)
deep-set eyes
a breastbone (sternum) that either protrudes outwards or indents inwards
crowded teeth
Marfan syndrome can cause the spine to become abnormally curved to the sides. This is known as scoliosis.
Curvature of the spine can cause long-term backache. In severe cases, it can also make breathing difficult as the spine may press against the heart and lungs.
Spondylolisthesis is where one of the bones in your spine (a vertebra) slips forward over another vertebra.
This usually occurs in the lower spine, and can cause back pain and stiffness. Anyone can develop spondylolisthesis, but it more commonly affects people with Marfan syndrome.
Dural ectasia
The dura is the membrane that lines your brain and spinal cord. Dural ectasia is a condition where the dura becomes weakened and expands outwards.
People with Marfan syndrome are at particular risk of developing dural ectasia. As the membrane expands, it can press on the vertebrae in your lower back, which can cause:
numbness or pain in your legs
Many people with Marfan syndrome have some type of vision problem.
Lens dislocation affects half of all people with the syndrome. This is where the eye's lens, the transparent structure that sits behind the pupil and focuses light, falls into an abnormal position.
Other possible eye-related symptoms of Marfan syndrome include:
myopia – short-sightedness
glaucoma – increased pressure in the eyeball which, left untreated, can cause permanent vision loss
aortic anyurism – where cloudy patches develop in the eye's lens, causing blurred or misty vision
retinal detachment – where the light-sensitive layer of cells at the back of your eye (retina) begins to pull away from the blood vessels that supply it with oxygen and nutrients
Cardiovascular system
Marfan syndrome can affect the cardiovascular system, which is made up of your heart and blood vessels. It's particularly serious if your aorta and heart valves are affected.
The aorta is the main artery in the body. It runs from your heart, down the centre of your chest, and through your abdomen.
In people with Marfan syndrome, the walls of the aorta are weak. This can sometimes cause the aorta to enlarge and balloon, which is known as an aortic aneurysm.
In severe cases, the aorta can split (rupture), causing potentially fatal internal bleeding.
Your heart has four chambers that pump blood to and from the rest of the body. To control the flow of blood through your heart's chambers, your heart has four valves:
mitral valve
aortic valve
tricuspid valve
pulmonary valve
These valves act as one-way gates, allowing blood to flow through in one direction. In some people with Marfan syndrome, the mitral or tricuspid valves don't close properly and blood leaks back through the valve.
Read more about common mitral valve problems.
The aortic valve may also leak, leading to the main pumping chamber (left ventricle) gradually becoming enlarged.
If your GP thinks you may have Marfan syndrome, you'll be referred to a specialist for testing. Your heart and blood vessels will be examined for the symptoms of the syndrome.
Read more about diagnosing Marfan syndrome.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks are pink, red, or white streaks in the skin. They can appear when you gain or lose weight quickly, when you have a growth spurt during childhood, or during pregnancy.

lower back
Over time, they'll gradually fade to a silvery colour and will be difficult to see.
