Female bodies are often portrayed as an inconvenience, with Williams' nipples showing through her tight Nike top drawing more attention than her game play over the course of the tournament. Similarly we're told that young girls are distracting to schoolboys, as if that's our problem rather than theirs. Sport helps us build self confidence that society does so much to destroy.
Perception is everything. First of all, don't jump on me for not using the word 'heroine' in the title. I know some will, but playing the politically correct game of appeasement by referencing Serena's gender is missing the point. An argument pitting men and women against each other in a battle for equality and respect is not what this is about.
I'm no sports nut. Don't get me wrong, I like a bit of sport here and there - the Six Nations, the odd Twenty20 and a spot of tennis all go down a treat. But this summer, sport really does feel like the perfect antidote to all the nonsense that's been going on.
Considered by many as the quintessential British event of the year, no other sporting or cultural occasion embodies the pragmatic personality of what ...
There's no tournament on earth like Wimbledon and, after winning here three years ago, I'm looking forward to returning with the home advantage and the incredible support of my fans, and giving it my best shot. This year I'm proud to be wearing Malaria No More UK's logo on my sleeve. I've supported the charity's work to end malaria deaths for seven years now... In the fight against malaria, when funding has been reduced or stopped many countries have seen the disease return with a vengeance. We cannot afford to stand still or let any ground slip when so many lives and futures are at stake.
Just when it seemed that anyone who wasn't a troll or rooted in the past had moved on from the debate over whether male and female tennis players should have equal pay, Novak Djokovic just had to go stick his size-nine foot right in it.
Sports technologies like contactless payments, stadium apps to help you find a parking spot, order a beer to your seat, or access player information on the last goal scorer have incredible potential to boost engagement for sports fans and advertisers.
From a sporting, but also business perspective, The Championships this year have shown us that both can significantly benefit from access to large amounts of data and the analytics capabilities to use these insights.
Selfie sticks are banned at Wimbledon, but selfies abound. Photos are taken holding containers of strawberries, in courtside seats, in front of pitchers of watered-down pimms. But one of the biggest photographic-draws is a small plaque, on the brick-wall outside court 18, which commemorates the longest match in history: an 11 hr 5 minute battle between the American John Isner and the Frenchman Nicolas Mahut.
It was a strange but similar Wimbledon, both transitory and immobile in equal measure. Rising players continued their solid years, with nods to Timea Bacsinszky, Madison Keys, Belinda Bencic and Muguruza, showing both panache and consistency, navigating the ups and downs quite efficiently. However, it was Serena who still reigned supreme...
Every time Wimbledon comes around, one question that's always raised is why do women play 3 set matches while the men play 5 sets? Seems like a reason...
Now that the excitement of the Wimbledon fortnight is over and Novak Djokovic beat the seven-time winner Roger Federer, the players are able to examin...
When I was growing up I wanted to be the American tennis champion Jimmy Connors. To be honest, I wanted to be sweary, stroppy, petulant John McEnroe (which I kind of was anyway) but my mum preferred his more charming, coiffured rival so Jimmy it was.
As a professional sportsman, being paid a lot of money to play in front of a lot of spectators, who have paid a lot of money, in your sport's most prestigious tournament, you had better be trying if you ask me!
As Wimbledon gets into its second week and the palpable tension mounts day by day, I have been observing the players and the relationship that they develop with their fans.
The amazing thing about Wimbledon is that for 50 weeks of the year it is a private tennis club which evolves for two weeks of the year into a world-class global sporting event delivering fans one of the best, immersive digital experiences here in the UK and beyond - all efficiently enabled by using cloud technology.

The Strigoi Guardian
The Strigoi Guardian is about a little orphan girl, raised by the Strigoi who is a Vampire Warrior race. They teach her how to be a Warrior, but even they are surprised when she goes through her Change - younger than all the other Vampires as it turns out she is no mere Vampire, but something else completely. Part Vampire, part Witch and shockingly, a Shapeshifter and World Traveler. With this shock, they find out she is descendant from an ancient race of Guardians and only born in a time of ne
It came at her with terrifying speed and she had no-where to run. She dived over the grass just as it flipped around, apparently deciding she was an easy target.
"Sweet Mother! Help!"
She threw her knife, and then it's on her, claws flying. She dodged and ducked, using every single trick she owned to stay ahead of it's strikes. Instinct demanded she turn and run, but the moment she did, she'd be dead. So instead she circled it, desperate to keep it turning so it couldn't catch her. Things were fine until her foot caught on an uneven section on the ground. She went down hard, trying to roll out of the way. But a suffocating weight landed on her back. Pinning her as sharp teeth ripped into her shoulder. She screamed and flailed. trying to flip the monster off. It was no use - the thing was too damn heavy. Distantly she could hear Male voices yelling and smell the acrid scent of guns. The monster gives her a shake; teeth digging deeper as wetness cover her back. Blessed numbness soak into her skin, wrapping itself around her. A small part of her mind screamed that this is bad, so very, very bad, but she couldn't dredge up enough energy to care. The weight suddenly disappear off her back, a terrible scream filling the air. She wanted to look, but she couldn't seem to move her head. Hands turn her over and arms she could only half feel, lifted her from the ground. Pain lanced through her entire body, fire coursing along her veins, spreading agony in its wake.
"Oh gods, that hurts." she whimpers.
"Hang on, you're going to be okay." a voice whispers in her ear.

To Let You Know...
Short Story by: Messy98
Status: Finished
Genre: Romance
I feel like I've just stepped out of my body. Suddenly, I couldn't feel, myself anymore, I couldn't hear my heart beating the life through me or the pulse pounding around my veins, pumping the life from the tips of my toes to the edge of my fingers. As I walked forward, I could barely feel the uneven ground beneath my feet, could hardly hear the buzz of summer around me. It was almost as if I was floating just above my head, watching over myself, like my very own guardian angel. Yeah, right.
The sun's trying to cheer me up. It's shining almost incessantly, annoyingly; it was trying to make a point. Life doesn't have to be sad. Neither does death. The sun was lying.
You're not here yet. I know it's a good thing but somehow I feel alone. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that there was no one around. But it was usually empty and bare around here and even if I were surrounded by a thousand people I think I'd still feel lonely. Still feel abandoned. Still feel hopeless.
But then you arrived. At first it felt just like all those other times when I'd seen you walking towards me and my heart would seem to pull me forwards, it would call for you and when I saw your face I would smile. Even without thinking. But then I remembered what I was about to do and my heart dropped like a stone in my chest. I sank down a little and the very sky seemed to darken. When my heart started to beat again it thumped heavily, loudly, like trying to remind how these beats were numbered. Reminding me that each of these strong beats were leading up to the indefinite. But my indefinite was coming way too soon.
I should have known that you'd see something was wrong. You know me way too well not to notice if something was wrong. But I couldn't tell you yet, I just couldn't. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you looked when the sun hit your hair just right and the curve of your nose was angled straight against the water in the lake behind you. How, at a time like this, could I be thinking about how cute you looked? How, when the world could stop spinning at any moment, could I be marvelling at how, when the wind ruffled your hair...
"Hey?" you said, but said it like a question. Hey? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Why do you have to tell me the one thing that could destroy me forever?
"Hey." I said back and, I was proud to say my voice didn't break or I didn't start bawling. Not yet. "What's up?" It was you who said that. And I really didn't know. What was up? No, of course I knew the answer but it was the one answer I would kill to change.
"Not much, school sucks." Good. General conversation was good, keep your mind off it, and put it off for another few seconds. Or minutes, if I'm lucky. You nodded and an awkward silence (they're definitely the worst ones) settled over us like a fog. This had never happened before; we'd always had so much to talk about. It was like you'd already known and you were just waiting for me to say it. But I couldn't. I just couldn't.
"Hayley." You said. I looked up, realized I'd been staring at the ground for over five minutes and blushed. Stay out of the dark place, Hale, don't think about it. You were looking really worried now. It hurt me to see you so confused and bewildered, I knew I owed you an explanation for my behaviour but I was sure that if I tried to speak, words would fail me. Or I'd fail words. You took a step forward and took hold of my hand. I almost laughed, it was your signature move, you did it the first time we ever kissed. It felt like a lifetime ago. It almost was. I replied with a look.
"What's wrong?" It was a normal, easy question to ask. What's wrong? But it could have so many answers. I felt like I'd just swallowed a stone, it got lodged in my throat and the water built up behind my eyes. No, no, no... "Hayley?" I pressed my lips together, trying to hold back the tears that were trying to escape. It was the first time I'd felt like crying since I'd found out and that comforted me a little. If I could last this long without crying then maybe I could be strong all the way through? But the fact that I was only crying because of you, made the situation so much worse. So much more unbearable.
Isn't it funny how when I thought about telling you, the words got stuck in my throat and tears threatened to fall almost immediately, but when all I was concentrating on was keeping the tears at bay, the unforgivable words came tumbling out instead,
"I went to the hospital today." I'd only paused for a second but already your face held a thousand questions and a million worries. I ploughed on, "I've known I'd have to go soon but I just... I just couldn't tell you because..." I could not carry on, tears were flying down my face and the words got stuck again. Tell him, I told myself, tell him now... I really couldn't afford to stop now...
So I told you. In truth, the look on your face was even worse than I could have imagined. The pain and shock you showed looked like you'd just been stabbed in the stomach by your best friend. I don't even think you would have been capable of crying, let alone speaking. You're eyes said all they needed to, though. That look, it quite literally killed me.
So the cancer didn't have to.

New York City Audubon
New York City Audubon is an American non-profit environmental organization incorporated in 1979. The group's mission reads in part: "New York City Audubon is a grassroots community that works for the protection of wild birds and habitat in the five boroughs, improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers." With nearly 10,000 members, it is one of the largest organizations in the Audubon movement. It is named in honor of John James Audubon, an ornithologist and naturalist who shot,[1] painted, catalogued, and described the Birds of North America.
In recent years, New York City Audubon has exercised particular influence in two areas: the restoration of the red-tailed hawk Pale Male's nest and the fatal effects of light pollution and glass windows on migratory birds.
Pale Male[edit]
New York City Audubon organized the protests that followed the removal of Pale Male's nest in December, 2004 and played a major role in negotiating a solution with the co-op board of 927 Fifth Avenue. Although Pale Male and his mate, Lola, continued to nest at the site. No new chicks fledged in subsequent years. In 2008, NYC Audubon recruited experts from around the country to assess the problem, and removed pigeon spikes from the nest structure as a result of their recommendations.[2] In 2011, Pale Male, with a new mate, successfully fledged two chicks,[3] suggesting that fertility issues were the likely cause of the nest failure from 2005-2010.
Project Safe Flight[edit]
Each year, at least many tens of thousands of birds are killed in North America by flying into windows. In 1997 New York City Audubon launched Project Safe Flight, modeled after Toronto's Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP), to work toward long-term solutions for the bird collision problem. From the program's inception through 2013, field volunteers have found more than 6,000 dead or injured birds of more than 100 species. The most frequently harmed species include white-throated sparrows, common yellowthroats, and ovenbirds. Project Safe Flight works with building owners and managers to address site-specific threats to migratory birds and is working with politicians, architects, glass manufacturers and others to seek long-term solutions. Prior to 9/11 the management of the World Trade Center gained a good deal of notice when, at New York City Audubon's request, they placed protective netting around the lower flowers of 1 WTC and 2 WTC. The netting acted somewhat like a trampoline — instead of striking the glass, the birds just bounced off, unharmed.
In September, 2006, Project Safe Flight began a comprehensive study aimed at quantifying the magnitude of the bird collision problem in New York City as well as identifying the main factors involved in such collisions. Dr. Daniel Klem of Muhlenberg College, an innational authority on the bird collision topic, is leading[needs update] the study. The project, funded by a grant from US Fish and Wildlife Service with matching funds from corporations and individuals, relies on local citizen scientists to monitor nearly 80 sites in Manhattan over the course of two migration seasons. Over 20 volunteers are involved in the monitoring effort
Lights Out New York[edit]
Light pollution contributes to bird collisions. In 2005 New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration endorsed a voluntary New York City Audubon program that encourages tall buildings to turn out external lights between midnight and 6 AM and shield interior lights as well. The Chrysler Building, Bank of America Tower, and New York Times Building are among the nearly 100 buildings participating in the program.[4][5]
Harbor Herons Project[edit]
Unknown to most, even to many birdwatchers, the small islands of the highly commercialized and heavily developed New York/New Jersey Estuary are home to one of the Atlantic Coast's largest colonies of nesting herons – with more than 3,000 individuals. Since 1985, New York City Audubon has managed the nesting sites.

A cryptocurrency is a digital medium of exchange. The first cryptocurrency to begin trading was Bitcoin in 2009. Since then, numerous cryptocurrencies have become available. Fundamentally, cryptocurrencies are specifications regarding the use of currency which seek to incorporate principles of cryptography to implement a distributed, decentralized and secure information economy.
The collective name for cryptocurrencies offered as alternatives to bitcoin. Litecoin, Feathercoin and PPcoin are all altcoins.
Bitcoin is a consensus network that enables a new payment system and a completely digital money. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen. From a user perspective, Bitcoin is pretty much like cash for the Internet. Bitcoin can also be seen as the most prominent triple entry bookkeeping system in existence.

A block chain is a transaction database shared by all nodes participating in a system based on the Bitcoin protocol. A full copy of a currency's block chain contains every transaction ever executed in the currency. With this information, one can find out how much value belonged to each address at any point in history.
Mining is the process of spending computing power to process transactions, secure the network, and keep everyone in the system synchronized together. It can be perceived like the Bitcoin data center except that it has been designed to be fully decentralized with miners operating in all countries and no individual having control over the network. This process is referred to as "mining" as an analogy to gold mining because it is also a temporary mechanism used to issue new bitcoins. Unlike gold mining, however, Bitcoin mining provides a reward in exchange for useful services required to operate a secure payment network. Mining will still be required after the last bitcoin is issued.

On his way home from the doctor's office on September 13, Frank Derfield decided he'd stop near his San Francisco home and pick up a few of the brand new (at the time) 100X the Money Scratchers games. He won $100,000 playing the California Lottery last summer – so honestly what were the chances he would win one of the 100X the Money top prizes of $5 million? Well…you guessed it!
"It was shock. Disbelief. I definitely defied the odds a lot more this time!" Derfield said – still dazed by the fact he did indeed defy nearly 1 in 3,000,000 odds this time to win $5 million! "I had to call two friends over to the house to help calm me down!"
In July 2015, Derfield defied nearly 1 in 700,000 odds when he won a second-place prize of $100,000 playing an Ultimate Riches Scratchers ticket. The 53-year-old says that cash helped pay for his wedding this past April. "Which is why I don't complain when he has a big pocket-full of Scratchers," his wife (who wishes to remain anonymous because of her line of work) admitted with a big laugh.
And now 14 months later, Derfield has won 50-times that amount – a whopping $5 million. Interestingly he didn't even bother scratching the ticket, "because I don't like messing up my fingers!" Instead, he decided to just cut to the chase by scanning the barcode to see if he'd won anything. Derfield is no rookie! "I've been playing the Lottery since '84!"
Oh, and did we mention he purchased both of his winning tickets at the same San Francisco Lottery retailer? That's correct! Derfield purchased his Ultimate RichesScratchers from last year and his 100X the Money game from last month at WC. Liquor & Groceries, which is located at 1836 Divisadero Street in The City. "You guys (California Lottery) have Lucky [Retailers]!" We sure do!
Since the win is worth $5 million – Derfield's favorite (and lucky) retailer wins too! It will be receiving a $25,000 bonus just for selling that winning ticket. Derfield admits he buys Lottery tickets at other San Francisco retailers, but likes the Divisadero Street spot because it's near his favorite "watering hole."
You think of the odds of winning a large amount of money just once – but twice?! "I wish I can tell you…it's just stupid luck. It's just weird," Derfield said, trying to explain his amazing streak.
The part-time temp at a San Francisco law firm not surprisingly admits his and his wife's lives are going to change. "We're too old to go out and party too much. So we're going to bank it, go on a trip – maybe get rid of my '85 Toyota Camry; or maybe a house, but I don't know…San Francisco, the housing market is crazy here!"
And what about Derfield trying to continue his incredible lucky streak by playing more Scratchers games?! "We're going to have to talk about it. I'm thinking I may have used up all my 'ying.' All my luck may be used up at this point!"
The 10X, 20X, 50X and 100X the Money family of Scratchers are part of the Lottery's continued effort to give out more prizes, create more winners and earn more money for California public education. For more information on the game and how to play, click here. Multiply your luck!
And keep in mind, the winning doesn't stop there! Like all Lottery Scratchers, 10X, 20X, 50X and 100X the Money Scratchers come with a second chance to win another great prize of up to $25,000 during our weekly draw. Just subscribe to our 2nd Chance Program and submit any non-winning Scratchers ticket code for a chance to win.

Find someone else
I used to be really happy with him as my child's doctor, but our last few visits have been hurried at best. He seemed disinterested in my concerns, and even treated me like I was stupid for asking the questions I did. He is quick to dismiss symptoms as "just a virus" and even acts like I have no reason to be concerned about symptoms I viewed as severe. I wish I could switch but I'm afraid of kaiser and their tendencies to "flag" patient files.

Was very unhappy with visit with Mr. Anaka. He seemed genuinely disinterested and was quite ill-mannered during the entire visit. Overall feeling was that he had no interested whatsoever in the health of our son.

So I have to take the stress and hard work out of the organization?
You don't have to take it completely out. The data shows people can work 60 hours for a week, two weeks, six weeks – but they can't work it forever. So the healthy model of work is a hill and valley model, where sometimes we are at peak performance, because a major project is due, so we go all out to get it completed. People can work six months of 60 hours, but the problem is when you have no valleys. And I would say many organizations have very few valleys, especially at the front-line manager and professional level, as they have taken out things that allowed people a little time for reflection and socializing.
What would I say to employers? Bring back secretaries. Bring back people to answer the phones, and do the administrative paperwork. Is it a good use of your managers' and professional people's talent to have them doing all their clerical work in addition to everything else? I don't think so; I think it's a false saving.
Your figures on e-mail use are astounding. What do we do?
We have to start having a dialogue on what is the appropriate use of this technology, and then we have to start calling people on their bad behaviour because it doesn't have the positive impact that is often thought. From our research, for example, a boss who checks his BlackBerry while in a meeting or talking to a subordinate is not seen as important or overworked, but as someone who can't get their act straight and who cares more about the unknown person at the other end of the device than the people who he or she is supposed to be managing.
Our data from other research shows that most individuals get this technology with the intention that they will separate work and family – they will not use it in family time. The 24 people in that longitudinal study all held good intentions at the start. But nine months later only four of them were actually successful at imposing limits. When we asked them why things changed, they told us it's because of the constant pressure and expectation from their boss, colleagues, and clients that they will be always available. No dialogue was taking place with the boss, colleagues or clients on what reasonable expectations might be.
Employers are giving these devices out thinking they are getting better customer service and more work out of people. But we have to start thinking about what kind of work we are getting out of them. Our research indicates a lot of people are managing their life by managing their in-basket. Instead of considering how best to tackle the issue in an e-mail – instead of considering how to handle it in a different or better way – they are focused on who they can pass it on to so the item is no longer in their inbox. That's not a good sign for Canadian organizations.
Is it also that the people at the top of organizations go through life without valleys and expect everyone else to?
The senior executives I have talked to are disingenuous. They say, "Just because I work long hours and on weekends doesn't mean the people I report to must. It's convenient for me to work on Sundays. I'm just cleaning up, and when I send messages they don't need to respond."
But when I talk to the people below them, they discount those comments. They say, "If my boss is on, I need to be on as well, because if I'm not and something slips through the cracks, I'm in trouble." Leaders are sending notices of 8 a.m. Monday meetings on Sunday night at 11 p.m. Is that appropriate?
E-mail has allowed us to get sloppy in priority-setting and planning because we think we can handle everything through knee-jerk reactivity. Technology is a tool, and like any tool we have to discuss how to use it appropriately. But that's not happening in many organizations.
Whose ideas and research do you turn to – who excites you?
He's an oldie but goodie: Jeffrey Pfeffer. I had the opportunity to meet him the other day. He's one of my idols. He was ahead of his time. His book The Knowing-Doing Gap came out years ago, but we're still making the same mistake over and over again. E-mail is a good example: The gap between what we know and what we do leads to bad results. He has been writing about human capital for a long time; he got it a long time ago, but we have ignored him.

If you're planning on staying at the Clarion you should be aware; This is not a traveler's Hotel. The primary purpose of this Hotel is to serve the Government training facility (Eastern Management Development Center) that is directly attached to the Hotel. Because of this guaranteed business, the Hotel does little to no maintenance/updating of it's rooms.
The rooms are small and worn. Some smell like smoke (ours did), others smell like mold (other guests on floor). Some of our bathroom tiles were missing grout while a lot of the grout that was there was discoloured with mold. The furniture is showing serious signs of wear and tear and I'm fairly confident that it has not been replaced since the Hotel opened over a decade ago.
The staff was neither friendly nor helpful. When we walked into the lobby we were greeted with a sign saying the pool was closed (of course this was during the recent heat wave. Later on when exploring the hotel we saw the signs posted closer to the pool which stated that the pool was closed 'By order of the Health Department'). When we checked into our room we walked in to find our Air Conditioning cover laying on the floor. The AC was also non functional. The fan worked but it was not cooling. The beds were covered with some kind of dirt and hair. We went to the front desk and the person there literally just shrugged at me and said there was nothing she could do as they were fully booked that night. Here's a protip for the Clarion staff: when a guest who checks in at 4pm has a major problem with their room, you move them to another room and have your houseman clean/fix/repair the problem room and give it to someone who checks in hours later. You don't just shrug at the guest and blow them off.
Other hotels in the area were fully booked so we were stuck. Luckily I was able to get the AC partially working by unplugging the unit and restarting it several times. The final straw was when I attempted to take a shower in the morning. I turned on the water and was immediately hit by an odor. It literally smelled like swamp water.
Broken AC. Dirt, mold, odors... The Clarion of course charged us full price for our experience. They don't even offer the most basic continental breakfast which is pretty much an industry standard for hotels that charge $120+ per night like the Clarion does.

Earlier today Elitegroup Computer Systems, better known as
ECS, finalized
the agreement for Uniwill Computer. Uniwill, for those not familiar, is a
large OEM producer for Fujitsu, but also sells notebooks under its own brand.
ECS will purchase the company in a stock-swap, and further increase the
manufacturing and R&D capability of Elitegroup. The estimated value
of this stock-swap is about 108M USD,
The Uniwill purchase adds much needed manufacturing capacity for ECS; Uniwill
just completed
a massive 51,000 square meter facility capable of producing 7.2M PCs per
year in Suzhou, China. Uniwill's total capacity is about 18M computers
per year.
The "Big Four," the top four notebook manufacturers in the world, produce an estimated 70%
of the world's notebooks. The combined capacity of Uniwill and ECS
for notebooks will give the company a notebook capacity of about 2.8M notebooks
per year. ECS claims this will make the new company the 5th largest notebook
manufacturer in Taiwan,
and the 6th largest in the world. Most of the ECS notebooks are sold
under other brands; Gateway and Acer are two major OEM clients for ECS
already. Uniwill currently has some OEM orders for Fujitsu, though with
the squeeze on the Tier-2 notebook providers this new rally between ECS and
Uniwill will give the new company more leverage.
Late last year, ECS also purchased the PC division of the OEM giant Tatung. Tatung's PC division is one of the largest
appliance and electronics manufacturers in Taiwan. The completion of the
ECS takeover of Uniwill will be completed around December 2006.

Earlier, a fat child meant a healthy child, one who was likely to survive the rigors of undernourishment and infection. In the past decade however, excessive fat has become one of the primary childhood health problems. Obesity is defined as excessive accumulation of body fat. Today obesity in children and adolescents has become a serious issue especially in the United States, with over 25 % of children considered obese. The statistics for childhood obesity are alarming - while 4% children were overweight in 1982, there were 16% overweight in 1994. According to the 2001 figures, nearly 25% of white children and 33% of African American and Hispanic children were overweight. In fact the hospital costs associated with obesity in children were escalating.
Child obesity can lead to many complications. Obesity in children may result in many emotional and physical problems. Emotional problems include altered body image, depression and poor self-esteem. Let us examine the possible causes of increasing obesity in children and how it can be overcome.
A child is considered obese based on his/her height and weight, which is compared on a growth chart by a physician. If the normal body weight exceeds the ideal weight in comparison to the age and height then the child is called obese. Child obesity is calculated using BMI (Body mass index), which is a measure of the body fat based on height and weight.
BMI is the measurement of choice for many physicians and researchers studying obesity. BMI uses a mathematical formula that takes into account, both a person's height and weight. BMI equals a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (BMI=kg/m2). BMI is the common choice for many physician and researchers studying obesity.
BMI = weight in kilograms / (height in meters x height in meters)
This is what the child's BMI can indicate:
Obesity Chart
The following table is the result of research conducted by International obesity task force. It represents the age, obesity and overweight ratio in children of varying age.
If you think your child is obese, take him/her to a physician. Growth charts are comparison charts used by physicians to assess the growth of a child - both height and weight. Most physicians use the growth charts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is based on the measurements of thousands of children. These growth charts enable the physician to watch the child's body changes over time. The measured BMI of the child is plotted on the growth chart - 95 percentile is considered overweight or obese. A child who falls between the 85 percentile and 95 percentile is considered at risk for becoming overweight. The American Obesity Association uses the 85th percentile of BMI as a reference point for overweight and the 95th percentile for obesity.
Causes of child Obesity
There are many factors that contribute to obesity among child. Body weights are determined by a combination of these factors. Bad eating habits and lack of exercise are noted as primary causes of increasing obesity among children.
Genetic Factors: Obesity can be genetic i.e. the risk of becoming obese is greatest among children who have obese parents. This is due to the genetic factors or parental modeling of both eating and exercise behaviors.
Environmental Factors: Environmental factors including lifestyle play a major role in child obesity. Poor eating habits, especially consumption of high calorie snacks can cause obesity in children. Some research also shows that extensive viewing of television may cause obesity in children (Dietz and Gortmaker, 1985). Factors involved here are displacement of physical activity coupled with increased calorie consumption caused by the effects of television advertising.
Psychological Factors: Psychological factors also contribute to obesity in children. These factors influence child's eating habits and many people eat in response to negative emotions such as boredom, sadness or anger.
Illness may also lead to obesity or a tendency to gain weight in a child. These include hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, depression and certain neurological problems that can lead to overeating. Also, drugs such as steroids and some antidepressants may cause weight gain. A physician can tell whether there are underlying medical conditions that are causing weight gain or making weight loss difficult. Obesity can complicate the treatment and management of diabetes and can even lead to the body developing a resistance to insulin. Obese children may have greater difficulty with high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, orthopedic problems, sleeping habits, as well as self-esteem and peer relationships. Obese children have also known to display symptoms of attention deficit disorder.
Treatment of Obesity in Children
Obesity treatment programs for children aim at slowing or halting weight gain so that the child will grow into his/her body weight over a period of months to years. Research explains that for every 20 % excess ideal body weight, the child will need one to one-half years of weight maintenance to attain ideal body weight. Physical activity and exercise is the best way to prevent and treat obesity in children. Obese treatment programs include behavioral therapy, reduction in sedentary behavior and nutrition and physical activity education. Give your children a balanced diet. Most children are influenced by their parent's behavior. So, if you follow a regular exercise regimen and follow healthy eating habits, chances are that your children will follow suit.
Tips for Parents
Parents play a pivotal role in treating an obese child. Parents should exercise control over their children's diet. Always have healthy fruits, food and snacks available to your children. Limit sweetened beverages, including those containing fruit juice, as they make your child feel too full to eat healthier foods. Limit white carbohydrates to reduce obesity in your children including rice, pasta, bleached bread and sugar (desserts). Select recipes and methods of cooking that are lower in fat. For example, bake chicken instead of frying it. Ensure that you drink enough water so that you set a good example. Monitor the child's growth pattern.
Take the assistance of a doctor to understand the growth curves giving percentiles for height, weight and body mass index (BMI). Ensure that your family has healthy habits, as obesity is not only the child's problem but is in fact a situation that needs the support of the entire family. Ensuring a good eating routine and fixed meal times for kids is the first step. Children then become hungry at regular times. Three meals and two snacks are just right for a child's day. Don't serve huge portions to your child. Let the child ask for more.
Prevention of Childhood Obesity
Parent education is one of the best ways to prevent obesity in children. Preventing obesity is far easier than treating it. Parent education should focus on promotion of breastfeeding, recognition of signals of satiety, selection of low-fat snacks, good exercise habits and monitoring of television viewing.

EXCLUSIVE: Irving downplays air quality problems at Canada oil-rail terminal
By Richard Valdmanis
BOSTON (Reuters) - Irving Oil has told regulators that recent air quality testing it commissioned around its oil-by-rail terminal in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada's largest such facility, shows no cause for public health concern.
Irving commissioned the study after it was flooded with complaints from residents of the eastern province's most populous city last winter about powerful smells wafting toward downtown when trains unloaded their cargoes.
All the pollutants measured in the study "were found to be below available regulatory objective limits," Irving said in a summary filed with the provincial Department of Environment and obtained by Reuters through a Right to Information Act request.
Oil-by-rail shipments have soared across North America in recent years as crude production outpaces pipeline capacity, raising worries about pollution and derailments.
The Saint John terminal was built in 2012 to serve Irving's 300,000 barrel per day refinery, a top gasoline supplier to New England. New Brunswick regulators approved it without requiring an environmental impact study.
Since its startup, the terminal has been blamed by residents for odors during open-air unloading of tanker cars. Also, several oil-laden trains serving it have derailed en route, including one that crashed in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, in 2013, killing 47 people.
Irving's air quality study, conducted by engineering firm Stantec, used standards used by other provinces because New Brunswick does not have ambient air quality limits for benzene, a known carcinogen found in oil, the documents said. It showed levels of benzene rose above Ontario's 24-hour limit in one out of six tests between March and July, and exceeded Alberta's one-hour limit in one out of 31 tests over the same period.
The summary also provided results for three other pollutants, none of which exceeded other provinces' limits, and said results collected for another 68 pollutants were withheld for the sake of brevity. A Stantec spokeswoman declined to provide the full study to Reuters. An Irving official did not respond to requests for comment. Continued...

The fight goes on…. So that our daughters may live long
From Sakhi April 2017 issue
Justice for Dr Mitu Khurana ~ Petition
Justice for Dr Mitu Khurana Petition
Dr Mitu Khurana is a doctor. Her parents are also doctors and she comes from a respected, educated family. Dr Mitu Khurana has been fighting against the discrimination towards her daughters and harassment towards her by her in laws. Dr Mitu Khurana is perhaps the first woman in India to have filed a complaint under P.N.D.T Act against Her husband, in-laws and others who deceived her into the sex determination test.
Dr Mitu Khurana has been fighting for 8 years now. When Dr Mitu Khurana started her fight, perhaps she thought that there are women friendly laws, and women friendly courts… that our country and judiciary is doing so much to ensure a just society for the discriminated half of the society. Her struggle has been documented by various national and international media and is very much in public domain. Dr Mitu Khurana`s story coverage in media encouraged and will continue to encourage other women to come forward and say no to female feticide and save their daughters.
The amount of evidence which Dr Mitu Khurana had gathered may not be available to many other women who may try to take up the fight…. And still the courts deciding against her based on technical grounds will discourage any woman from coming forward.
India's disappearing daughters: Child sex ratios continue to plummet all over the country
India's disappearing daughters: Child sex ratios continue to plummet all over the country
Exactly a month ago, Dr Mitu Khurana lost a 11-year-old court battle. This gutsy mother of twin daughters was the first woman in India to file a case under the Preconception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act – the great legal tool which is supposed to protect the lives of our unborn daughters. Her lengthy battle came to end in just five minutes when the Supreme Court dismissed it on a technicality.
Dr Khurana's case is a well documented one and has been covered quite extensively by the Indian and foreign press. She is a doctor, married into a family of doctors, and more importantly – a strong and determined woman who never gave up. She had said that in 2005 when she was under heavy sedation, her in-laws had got an illegal sex determination test done in a high-end clinic in Jaipur. She had proof that this was an unregistered clinic and that the crucial Form F which records the woman's consent to have an ultrasound had gone missing… all punishable offences under the PCPNDT Act.
And yet she lost.
Meanwhile in other parts of the country, sonographers or ultrasound specialists who do the very important task of scanning pregnant women to check fetal health, went on a one day strike in protest against what they called the draconian PCPNDT Act. They wanted the Act amended because they said they were being persecuted for trivial reasons like a clerical error.
"Look at the piles of paperwork to be done for every single scan," said an exasperated sonologist at a conference on sex selective abortion. "If I slip on even a single one, I can get arrested and my ultrasound machine can be locked. I came into this field because I was interested in fetal health. Now I regret it. This was once the most popular specialisation for gynaecologists. Now the youngsters are afraid to get into this field."
At the same time Sabu George who has spent several decades researching and fighting against this form of gender discrimination pointed out to a newspaper that the child sex ratio has dropped drastically in a state like Karnataka, which was once considered comparatively "safe". This he said is mainly because of poor implementation of the law against sex selective abortion. Today the child sex ratio in Karnataka is 943 per 1,000 males as compared to 973 in the 2001 census. And in thriving Bengaluru, the capital city the ratio is a pathetic 916 to 1,000.
But there are also districts in Karnataka where there are more girls than boys in the 0-6 age group. Udupi with 1,094 girls to 1,000 boys tops the list. Others included in this star list are Dakshina Kannada (1,020), Kodagu (1,019), Hassan (1,010) Chickamagaluru (1,008) and Raichur (1,000). So, does this mean that the PCPNDT Act is enforced better in these districts, or is there something else? Something more intangible? A different mindset? A matrilineal tradition? No dowry?
So where does the problem lie?
By now it is a well-established fact that our daughters are disappearing not from the families of the poor and uneducated but from educated middle and upper middle class families who have access to illegal sex selection and abortion clinics. We all also know that the main culprit is our patriarchal society which has brainwashed several generations of families into believing women are commodities of trade in a marriage and a girl's life is better snuffed out before she is born, lest she grow into an expensive and unaffordable member of the family.
I have been investigating female infanticide and sex selective abortion for over 20 years now. In 2005, I started researching my book Disappearing Daughters, on the alarming consequences of sex selective abortion. At that time, the worst hit states were Punjab, Haryana, and Gujarat. The PCPNDT Act was already in force and these states had "save the girl child" programmes, yet girls were disappearing by the thousands. Today the virus has spread all over India as these maps (see right) indicate.
India's 'obsession with sons' means millions of lonely men
India's 'obsession with sons' means millions of lonely men
The persistence of India's outlawed dowry system and the availability of illegal gender-testing has resulted in millions more boys than girls.
It is having a profound social impact — finding a wife has become so difficult, some are turning to traffickers.
"I never thought it would be this difficult for us to get married," said 32-year-old Vikram Hooda, taking a break from working his family's rice paddy in the northern Indian state of Haryana.
"The villagers make fun of us because we aren't married," said Vikram's younger brother Prakash, 23.
"They don't understand that there are so few girls here."
The Hoodas are a family of five brothers. Only one is married.
"If you go by the statistics, the number of girls killed in India, by female foeticide, is much more than any genocide of this world," Dr Mitu Khurana said.
Dr Khurana is raising twin daughters alone. She said her former husband tried to force her to abort one or both of them after an ultrasound was carried out, unbeknown to her, while she was in hospital suffering from food poisoning.
The Lancet suggests the gender disparity indicates the abortion of between 3.1 to 6 million female foetuses between 2001 and 2011.

A group of civil society bodies will launch an online campaign in support of a woman doctor, whose eight-year-old struggle for justice against "illegal sex determination" of her twin daughters, ended on a bleak note.
Mitu Khurana, 40, said to be the first woman in the country to file case against her husband and in-laws under the Pre-Conception & Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PC-PNDT), 1994, has exhausted her legal recourse after the Supreme Court recently dismissed her case.
"My in-laws had illegally determined the sex of the foetus, and after finding that I was carrying twin daughters, forced me to abort them," she alleged.
"I fought this battle from the lower court to the Supreme Court. My fight was not just for myself but also for my daughters and for many women who continue to suffer harassment. Was it my fault that I fought back and struggled for justice," she said.
A few representatives from different civil societies and women rights bodies today held a press conference here in the presence of Khurana, a physician, and appealed to people to support her cause.
"After losing in court, we would now go to peoples court. Some of the organisations fighting for womens right have decided to rally behind this cause and very soon we are going to launch an online campaign seeking justice for her," President, Forum Against Corruption and Threats, Indu Prakah Singh told reporters.
Illegal sex determination: Did Mitu Khurana lose as a result of judicial insensitivity?
Illegal sex determination: Did Mitu Khurana lose as a result of judicial insensitivity?
Last Friday, after a hearing that barely lasted a few minutes, the Supreme Court dismissed Dr Mitu Khurana's case. It was a bitter end to the Delhi resident's eight-year-old battle against the doctors who allegedly conducted an ultrasound to illegally determine the sex of her twin daughters, apparently in collusion with her husband and in-laws.
Earlier, in April, the Delhi High Court had quashed the proceedings against the two accused doctors – Dr Harsh Mahajan of Mahajan Imaging, and Dr Nitin Seth, the radiologist who conducted the ultrasound – as it felt the case had exceeded the period of limitations of three years, a stipulation under criminal law.
Khurana's case, activists said, is a huge setback to the women's movement against the country's rapidly declining sex ratio. At last count, according to the 2011 Census, the child sex ratio had declined from 927 girls for every 1,000 boys to 919 girls to 1,000 boys.
How it all started
Khurana's story began in 2005 when, a year after marriage, she became pregnant. Her doctor husband Kamal Khurana and his relatives, she said, pressed her for an illegal sex determination examination, which she refused to do. They later tortured her and tried to force her to terminate her pregnancy, allegedly on finding out that she was carrying girls.
Sick with stomach pain and nausea – after she was allegedly fed cake with eggs, which she was allergic to – she was admitted to Jaipur Golden Hospital in Delhi. Here, she underwent an ultrasound examination – without her consent and while heavily sedated, she claimed.
In 2008, she found the ultrasound report and suspected it was actually a sex determination test. She filed a complaint with the National Commission for Women, the health minister and the appropriate authority under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act. When no major action was taken, she filed a complaint before a magistrate.
When the magistrate court summoned the accused doctors in 2011, they, in turn, filed a case in the Delhi High Court.
Khurana – said to be the first Indian woman to sue her now former husband and his relatives under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994, that bans foetal gender determination – lost the case despite having documentary evidence against the doctors.
During the trial, Dr Mahajan admitted in an affidavit to running an ultrasound imaging centre without registration, in direct contravention of the 1994 law.
Government health authorities, too, backed Khurana. They said the imaging centre had failed to submit her Form F – mandatory under law to be filled by the pregnant woman undergoing such an ultrasound test – to them. Her form, in fact, had gone missing.

My Baby GirlMature
Her eyes are as beautiful as the stars that have cursed them.
Staring blankly at the dark ceiling, she's filled
With tangled puppets and limping dinosaurs.
I find the formidable innocence from within her moulded skull
And possess it with my dejection; the origami is unfolding.
She titters at the leaking clown gingerly clutching her ailing body.
Her toes are trying to wriggle free.
Her nose is melting the salty rain
Her heart is beating in repudiation.
I know she won't slip, but I've been wrong before.
Maybe If I hold her close enough, she'll soak up whatever
Itsy-bitsy vehemence I have left.
I must stop crying though for they'll be back soon and
God forbid I spoil their flawed merriment.
This melancholy fool subsides with soporific singing.

Bartholomew Allen (Smallville)
this wiki
- I say I'm gonna be somewhere, I'll be there like a flash!
- -- Bart Allen src
In 2004, Bart was living as a petty thief in Metropolis. However, seeing a car about to crash into Jonathan Kent, he chose to save him (while also stealing Jonathan's wallet). Bart had been seen by Jonathan's son, who tracked Bart down and tried to confront him. Bart, amazed that someone else could move super fast, decided to befriend Clark and teach him how to live. He told Clark that he had been in an accident, with a bolt of lightning and had gained super speed. Feeling like a freak, in the eyes of his parents, Bart had run off.
Wanting a better life, Bart stole from Lex, but after his fencer betrayed him and Clark talked to him, he returned Lex's property. He then decided to travel to world and see if there was anyone else out there, like him and Clark.
At some point after this, Bart was recruited to Oliver Queen's group, being dubbed "Impulse" (he was not allowed to pick his own codename) and was involved in the group's attempt to bring down Lex Luthor's 33.1 project.
Two years later, Bart returned with newer recruit Black Canary, in an attempt to stop Doomsday. However, their plan failed.
Powers and Abilities
- Superhuman Speed: Impulse possesses the gift of super-speed and enhanced reflexes. The exact limits of this ability are unknown, but he is clearly faster than Clark Kent and is fast enough to run across bodies of water without falling in.
- Power Limitation: Bart's stamina decreases exponentially the more he is forced to use his super-speed. Bart has a super metabolism so he needs to consume a large amount of food.
- This version of the character is exclusive to the continuity of the television series Smallville and its tie-in and comic book series, Smallville and Smallville Season 11. It is an adaptation of Bart Allen/Impulse. The original character was created by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo and first appeared in Flash (Volume 2) #92.
- Bart Allen was portrayed by Kyle Gallner on the series Smallville.
- It was the first live-action appearance of Bart Allen.
- Bart has many aliases, including Wally West, Jay Garrick, and Barry Allen - the names of the men to use the Flash moniker before Bart in the comics.
- Bart is the first member of the Justice League that Oliver recruited and coincidentally the first member to appear on the series with the exception of Clark and Chloe.

Vyšehrad (Upper Castle)
Whoever has a taste for the Czech Republic castles and temples would know of the Vyšehrad, a wonderful fort that was built sometime during the tenth century. Like many other landmarks and monuments, the exact date and the name of the founder of this area cannot be determined. As per the legend, the Vyšehrad was what came to be first, before even the existence of the city of Prague. However, these stories have yet to be proved.
One of the most interesting parts of the Vyšehrad is the Vyšehrad cemetery, which holds a number of famous celebrities, including Bedřich Smetana, an outstanding composer who contributed a lot to the field of music and caused a revolution.
The stories spoken by the locals speak of the mysteries of the Vyšehrad that are not proven. However, when one hears of them, they wish to be able to believe in them, because of the sheer beauty of the stories. According to one of these myths, a certain Princess Libuše ruled on the throne of the Vyšehrad, dabbling in some fortune-telling. It seems she spoke of the greatness written in the luck of the city of Prague, promising that the world shall know of the place and love to great lengths.
To get to the Vyšehrad, you could the line C metro or just take tram number 3, 7, 16 or 17 to Výton. The Vyšehrad overlooks the river Vltava, proving to be a gorgeous place by nightfall. In fact, a sightseer could do well to wait for the bright and breathtaking sunset of this region, admiring the effect it has on the view.
The Vyšehrad provides all locals and tourists a panoramic view of a portion of Europe that is remarkable and peaceful at all times, during every season. An inspiration for absorbing information on the culture of Prague and the Czech Republic, this area catches the eye of whoever happens to wander close to it. A treat for whoever wishes for a relaxing trip to a part of Europe, the Vyšehrad happens to be one of the most common sites for celebrations.

For anyone who doesn't know, Pigbin Josh is a minor comic relief character from the 1971 Doctor Who story The Claws of Axos. He is a mentally handicapped scrap collector who encounters a crashed spaceship and becomes the first victim of the Axons.
I first became interested in painting him when I realized that without the comedic music and nonsensical muttering he's really quite a sad character.
The terrible weather and desolate slate piles of Dungeness provide an incredibly dreary backdrop for Josh's brief story.
It's no surprise that this series of paintings are consistently my least popular work. Am I dragging Doctor Who fan art, kicking and screaming, in a new direction or just being silly?
Probably a little of both.

By Andrew Bagnato, AP College Football Writer
TUCSON, Ariz. Justin Kahut hit a 24-yard field goal as time expired, and No. 21 Oregon State rallied to defeat Arizona 19-17 on Saturday night and move within one victory of its first Rose Bowl trip since 1965.
Kahut nailed the winner just minutes after missing the potential tying extra point.
"I think that's how our season has been going," Oregon State coach Mike Riley said. "The main thing is that we would not be denied."
The Beavers (8-3, 7-1 Pac-10), who started the season 2-3, can clinch a trip to Pasadena, Calif., with a victory over No. 24 Oregon in the Civil War on Nov. 29.
Kahut, a sophomore from Portland, said he prayed for a shot at redemption after hooking the extra point to the left to leave the Beavers in a 17-16 hole with 3:58 remaining.
"I didn't feel like that was supposed to be the way that our season was going to go down," he said. "I didn't want it to be where I lost the game for the team. They worked so hard, and we deserved that win, and I'm just so grateful for that second opportunity."
Trailing 17-16 with 1:19 to play, the Beavers took over at their 20 with no timeouts left.
On the third play of the drive, backup quarterback Sean Canfield, who started in place of the injured Lyle Moevao, found Sammie Stroughter alone behind the Wildcats secondary for a 47-yard gain to the Arizona 7.
Four plays later, Kahut came on and calmly nailed a 24-yard field goal to seal the Beavers' comeback.
Keola Antolin rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown for the Wildcats (6-5, 4-4).
With the score tied at 10-10 early in the fourth quarter, Oregon State coach Mike Riley went for it twice on fourth down near midfield. The first one worked and the second didn't, and it proved costly.
After backup tailback Ryan McCants lost a yard on fourth-and-1 at Arizona's 49, the Wildcats went on an eight-play march capped by a 9-yard touchdown run by Antolin to give Arizona a 17-10 lead.
The Beavers have had good luck in the desert, winning their previous three games in Arizona Stadium. But this trip started off badly.
The Beavers lost Jacquizz Rodgers to a shoulder injury on their second possession. Rodgers took a heavy hit from Arizona cornerback Devin Ross.
Rodgers was replaced McCants, a freshman. But his production was replaced by his brother, receiver James Rodgers, who ran for 102 yards and a touchdown, all on reverses out of his receiver slot.
The first half was a slog, with the teams trading field goals and a slew of punts.
Arizona struck first on a 27-yarder by Jason Bondzio midway through the second quarter. The Wildcats drove 72 yards in 16 plays but stalled after first-and-goal at the Beavers 6.
Oregon State tied it at 3-3 on a career-long 47-yard by Justin Kahut as time expired in the first half. The Beavers covered 52 yards in 3:19 to set up the field goal.
Oregon State maintained its momentum on its first possession of the third quarter.
Starting at their own 39, the Beavers went 61 yards for a touchdown, with 52 yards coming on the ground. James Rodgers wheeled around right end on a reverse for an 8-yard score that gave Oregon State a 10-3 lead with 9:06 to go in the third quarter.
Two possessions later, Arizona answered with a methodical 13-play, 76-yard drive. Willie Tuitama hit tight end Rob Gronkowski with a 16-yard touchdown pass to tie it at 10-10 with 16 seconds to go in the third quarter.
It was Arizona's first offensive touchdown against the Beavers since 2005.
After Antolin scored to make it 17-10, Oregon State went 80 yards in 10 plays for a touchdown, but not without drama. Five plays after James Rodgers dropped a certain touchdown pass, Canfield hit Stroughter for a 7-yard score.
That's when Kahut shanked the conversion, leaving the Beavers down by a point with 3:58 to play.

text: Joachim Kühn, celebrated elder statesman of German jazz piano, and US sax legend Archie Shepp have collaborated before (on 2011's Wo! Man), and the latter puts in three appearances on this more world-jazzy Kühn programme also featuring Moroccan guembri maestro and vocalist Majid Bekkas and Spanish drummer Ramon Lopez (Kühn's regular sidekicks), plus a raft of African traditional musicians. The famous John Coltrane vehicle Kulu Sé Mama is a solemn aria for vocals, languid sax and rolling drumwork that becomes a floating jazz shuffle, then a feverish dance. Shepp shifts with typically gruff graciousness on tenor sax from sumptuous deep-ballad warmth to explosive multiphonics on the rhapsodic L'eternal Voyage, and also appears for the title track, in which he begins with an almost Charles Lloydian tentativeness against the glowing sound of the balafon, and begins shrugging and blurting his way through the ensuing percussion-bustling shuffle. Kühn's subtle touch, steely power and textural imagination dominate the last third of the session, on the initially brooding Crossing the Mirror and the heartracing Firehorse, the most focused episodes on an unruly but uplifting set.

The Birth of DarknessMature
I have forgotten my human name as it bears no consequence to me now. That part of me was years ago, many years ago, and now, now I am much more. I still remember when it all started, my descent, or ascension, into the darkness. It began with death, my family's death.
Orcs flew into my village one night and slaughtered everyone present except for me. I was cut badly and was bleeding from multiple wounds and was promptly left for dead in my house. I could only feel rage, despair and an increasing feel for revenge. The gods of my people had let this happen and were silent so I prayed to the only deities I could think of.
The Dragon Lords, and they responded.
I had my eyes closed as I prayed and when I opened them, I saw a sword, tip planted in the ground, and I felt drawn to it as if it was a part of me. I blinked as I couldn't believe my luck, then took the sword in one of my shaking hands. I immediatly felt warm as a power entered my body and I saw the wounds closing around me. I now had the means to enact my revenge.
For two days I tracked the orc horde to their village and after so long of waiting, I struck and decimated the village and everything in it. I left nothing alive, not a single thing, including my former self as I felt like an entirely new being, one of power and respect and most importantly: fear.
As I stood in the middle of the village, with bodies laying all around, I roared a defiant and powerful challenge to the world that shook every fiber of my being and it wasn't until some time that I noticed that something was looking at me from the mountain face nearby.
A dragon, a real life, flesh and blood dragon.
I stared at the creature for a few moments and was surprised when it spoke my language in perfect, booming clarity;
'We have provided you with the tools for your revenge and now you are sated, we now ask for your part in this venture,' It said. I could see the power in its body and knew that if I attacked it that I would die needlessly so I listened, 'We ask, young one, for your servitude, that is all. In return for your loyalty, you will be given the power of the dragons.' It took me hardly any time at all before I replied that I would accept its offer.
The dragon stood stock still for minutes and I did as well, the wait was unbearable as I sat in anticipation for its move. After seemingly hours of wait, it spoke in a language that I didn't understand but I could feel its power in the air and in myself as it was spoken. I felt myself changing again but this time I felt myself growing larger and stronger in a quick and painful process. My eyes blinded with the increasing pain and all I wanted was for it to stop.
Just as the thought had crossed my mind for the ceasing of the pain, it indeed stopped and the dragon infront of me roared a deep powerful call. I sat there for a moment, then replied with my own roar and I noted, with surprise, that I had a similar one to his.
'Your voice, young one, is not the only thing that changed.' The dragon told me. I looked about and noticed with a start that I was a dragon myself. My skin had changed to that of a dark, deep black skin of scales and my leathery looking wings which I flexed for effect and found them deeply satisfying.
'Welcome, young one, to our family.' The dragon greeted me. I looked at him for a moment, then smiled a large toothy, malevolent grin. I felt no other way to properly greet my kin than to kill him, which I did easily by having the surprise and after I did I greeted the world by shouting my name in the language of the dragons which I now knew by heart.
My name was, and still is, Sirananth Dread-Wing and I am not, sated in my thirst.
