If you thrive in a supportive role and have an active interest in oral hygiene, then a career as a dental nurse could be your calling.
Dental nurses provide valuable support to dentists and are important to ensure the running of any dental practice.
A love of science and an interest in oral health are obvious factors when taking up this particular career route. Whether it's providing assistance during a tricky procedure, maintaining the comfort of a patient to preparing the surgery, dental nurses are often the first and last people to see patients and have a responsibility to keep them at ease and provide a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Aside from dental surgeries, dental nurses may also work within a hospital or even in the armed forces.
Dental nurses perform a variety of tasks during and outside of dental procedure times. These include:
When working with patients during surgery dental nurses will be expected to:
It is well known that some people are incredibly nervous and scared of going to the dentist for a number of reasons. They may be out of their comfort zone or dislike the sound of the equipment. Either way, as a dental nurse you have to be mindful of all of this and therefore it requires someone who holds the following skills and characteristics:
There are a couple of ways into this profession. You can either start as a trainee within a dental practice and gain experience and training on the job. Alternatively you can take a full-time college courses in dental nursing. It is worth noting that in both cases you would need to study for a qualification accredited by the General Dental Council and register with them too
Some of these courses include:
If you opt to train on the job then you will need to have a good general standard of education such as GCSEs (grades A – C) including English, maths and/or science. Through this route you would work towards a diploma.
Training would last between 12 and 18 months and cover areas such as providing chairside support during treatments, oral disease and prevention and emergency first aid.
Study is done through a combination of theory and practical work on both full time and on the job training routes.
In order to keep your knowledge and skills up to date and keep your registration, you would be expected to do a minimum of 150 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) over a fiove year period. You can take up a number of workshops that are run by the British Association of Dental Nurses (BADN). These include:

Rubber Knives - Martial Arts Training Tool
Rubber knives are used to practice self-defense techniques by martial arts such as Krav Maga. This piece of flexible training equipment allows martial artists to practice techniques (i.e. knife disarms) without hurting themselves or their partners. A rubber training knife is often shaped either as a traditional Tanto or a more modern combat knife. Other similar training tools include rubber batons and rubber guns.
A more advanced training variation of the rubber knife is a shock knife which produces an electric shock if the blade touches your training partner.
For information on additional training equipment, please visit the main Martial Arts Training Equipment section.

Book by: Lozzy G
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
Chapter1 (v.1) - Stuvia
Chapter 1
I looked around; no one was here except me and the river in the countryside. I looked down into the water, I moved here from the city, away from my friends and most of my family. I asked mum if I could live with dad, but she snapped back saying he shouldn't deserve a child. They had an argument over dad not caring about the house and me and mum, so mum left dad and moved here. I looked back up; it's amazing how different it is here, away from the city.
I hear a noise behind me and turn around, a girl who looks the same age as me stood in front of me. "Hello" I say to her, she waves. I turned back around and stared at the fields. The girl walks up beside me and joins in staring, "You're new in Starsbuckle, aren't you" she said also staring into the fields. I nodded. "What's it like 'ere?" I said "In Starsbuckle?" She looked at me, I looked back, "its ok" she said. "I'm Louise" I said, she smiled "Rita". We both shook hands, "I need to get back to the village" said Rita "do you want to come with me?". I smile and walk with her back to the village.
The village is quite small and smells of lemon. "Want to go to the sunflower fields?" asked Rita, I looked at her, "alright" I said and we both turned left down the road to the sunflower fields. We both walked into the fields by a path that leads into them. I looked around; the whole area was filled with bright, yellow sunflowers. "Shall we go into the fields off the path?" asked Rita, I stopped dead in my tracks, "what, no" I said, "oh, come on Louise" she begged, "no" I said firmly. Rita smiled, "you aren't a chicken are you" she started to laugh. I didn't. "I don't want to risk getting lost, sorry Rita" I said. "We could go tomorrow" Rita smiled at me. We both walked out the sunflower fields back down into the village. "I got to be going now" said Rita. "Well see ya, then" I said, and she left. I sighed and walked the route back home; the only good thing about moving here was that we moved into a manor.
I opened the door and walked inside, "mum, I'm home!" I shout into the house, I shut the door behind me. I took off my blue hoodie and threw it on the floor and walked upstairs to the library, to explore. In the library, there were already tons of books there from the last owners, I went up to one of the bookcases and had a look at the books, nothing of my interest, I was just about to turn around, when an old looking book caught my eye. I walked over to it; I took it off the bookcase.
I looked at it. It was a mouldy, brown colour and smelt of a familiar flower I smelt before. I wondered what type of flower it is, but couldn't think of any that smell like this. I tucked my blonde hair behind my ear and opened the book:
Staria Inada: 1817- 1828, Starsbuckle
I looked at it again; she died when she was eleven. I took the book to a nearby table and sat down; I placed the book on the table and opened it on the first page. It read:
"Hmm... she's eight" I murmured
'I just moved to a village called Starsbuckle, it's alright here, but it's a bit to quiet for my liking, everyone always is inside their home and all the children are quiet when they play. The house we moved in is massive, I think it's a manor, I'm going exploring now.'
I got up and put the diary where I found it. I walked out the library and up a second flight of stairs and into my bedroom; I sat down on my bed and stared at the wall, I wonder how little Staria died. I wonder about things a lot. I got up and went over to my wardrobe, I got my pyjamas on and slipped into bed, I stared outside thinking of the sunflowers and how they're the only flowers in the village. Sunflowers. Sunflowers! The diary smelt of sunflower, I got up, maybe Staria died in the sunflower fields, she probably had the diary with her when she died, and if she was found, the people who found her must of took the diary back here. I almost fell out of bed. I ran out my bedroom and down the second flight of stairs back into the library. I found the diary and took it of the bookcase. I went to the table and sat down; I flipped through the pages to 1828, one of the entries caught my eye. I stopped flipping the pages to read it:

Mato Kuroi has recently turned 15 and has graduated from middle school and moved on to high school with Yomi and the rest of their friends. As she is sleeping in her room, she starts dreaming of a Spider drone, which looked similar to the one Black Rock Shooter fought, attacking her hometown. As she watches in horror, the spider jumps right in front of her and attacks her as she screams. She then wakes up gasping for breath and looks around to see that she is back in her own room.
"Oh, it's just a dream." Mato sighed with relief and lays down in bed.
After Mato calms down, she soon finds herself unable to sleep.
"Why does the dream seem so real?" Mato asked herself as she stares at the ceiling while lying on her bed.
In the next scene, Rin Okumura is scene walking into Mato's hometown as he tries to remind himself why he is here. He flashes back to when his brother, Yukio, told him to transfer to a human school after realizing that his job as an Exorcist and his use of Satan's powers would cause him to think less of himself as a human and more of a demon. Rin agrees, as he desires a more subtle life after everything that has happened in True Cross Academy, such as the opening of the Gehenna Gate. Despite this, he brought Kuro with him to keep him company and his sword in case it is ever needed.
"Do you think this will help you get back your humanity you lost during your last battle?" Kuro asked.
"I still don't feel that I am human, but hopefully life here can help make things easier for me as an Exorcist since I probably wouldn't have to use my powers as much. Once I head to my new dorm, I am definitely going to make the best out of my new life."
"Glad you are doing this. You were such a stuck up after the last battle."
In retaliation, Rin picks up Kuro and gives him a noogie. "What do you mean I am such a stuck up? I have never felt so free in my entire life after that battle."
"Sorry! Sorry! Please let me go!" Rin continues to comically play with Kuro, getting distracted as he continues to walk along.
In the meanwhile, Yomi and Yuu head off to school as Mato rushes to catch up with them.
"You seem a bit slower today. Is there something wrong?" Yomi asked.
"I just didn't have enough sleep last night?" Mato rubs her eyes and yawns.
"What were you doing up so late?"
"I just had a bad dream. It was nothing much."
"Let's just hope that it doesn't affect your studies, because we have a big math test today." Yuu told Mato.
Hearing this immediately caused Mato to become more awake. "I can't believe I forgot about such a thing! Excuse me, but I will be going ahead."
Mato then comically rushes to school, leaving Yomi and Yuu behind.
"Someday her behavior will seriously get her into trouble." Yuu remarked.
"Mato has become more laid back ever since we dealt with the Black Rock Shooter incident. I just hope that she doesn't take things too far." Yomi becomes a little concerned.
Yuu laughs in response. "I think she just did since she forgot to study. Hopefully this will teach her a listen about what happens when you relax too much."
After school was over, Mato sighed out of disappointment. "I can't believe that there was a big test today and I forgot to study for it. I just know I didn't do well on it."
"That's what you get for getting too relaxed." Yuu continues to tease Mato.
Mato pouts. "I think I already know that so stop mentioning it."
"But this is the third test you have failed to study for. If you continue like this, you won't past this year."
"Then can you help me study for a history quiz I have in two days?" Mato asked Yomi.
"Sorry, but I already promised Yuu that I would help her study for her quiz in my house."
"What? But that is not fair. Whose side are you on anyway Yomi?" Mato continues to complain.
Yomi giggled a little. "Sorry Mato, but it is the student's responsibility to be prepared. It is not my problem that you don't study."
"Your are doing this on purpose aren't you Yomi?" Mato becomes irritated.
"You are just so cute when you behave like that." Yomi smiles.
"You are just like a little girl." Yuu laughs alongside Yomi.
"I am not a little girl!" Mato continues to pout as she complains.
"Anyway, your home is on the other road. I will see you tomorrow okay?" Yomi waves goodbye as she walks along with Yuu.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow." Mato walks the other way as she heads back to her house.
"Seriously, there is such thing as taking it too far when you are making fun of someone you know." Mato thought to herself.
As Mato heads back home, she suddenly heard loud screaming and starts seeing people running in the opposite direction.
"What is going on?"
Rather than running away like everyone else, Mato starts having a familiar feeling inside her body and continues moving forward instead.
"Are you crazy? You are going to get killed by that thing if you go any further!" One person shouted.
"Run away while you still can!" Shouted another.
Mato continues to walk forward, ignoring the crowd's protest, as the feeling grows stronger with each step.
"Who is calling me?" Mato soon starts entering a trance-like state and loses consciousness as a result.
Once Mato reaches what the cause is, she finally returns to her senses as she sees that standing in front of her is the same robotic spider in her nightmare. Mato becomes horrified and slowly backs away from the robot, but the spider has already spotted her.
"You can't be real. It is not possible. You are just a part of my dream." Mato becomes even more frightened as the giant spider moves closer to her.
"Get away. GET AWAY!" Mato screams as she begins to run back.
Rin and Kuro heard her scream nearby and turns only to see the giant spider causing destruction in the neighborhood.
"Oh great! So much for an easy life here." Rin complains.
As Rin was about to go partial demon form, Kuro stops him. "Wait Rin. I sense no demonic presence from this creature. It could be different from the other creatures we have fought."
"It doesn't matter! It is destroying the town and I've got to save it. Are you with me or not?"
Kuro responds by transforming into a nekomata, signifying Rin that he will fight alongside him. As Rin rides on Kuro's back, he then charges towards the spider.
In the Other World, Rock also heard Mato's plea for help. "My other self is in trouble."
Rock rushes to Mato's subconscious mind in an attempt to take over her body. As Mato continues to step back from the giant spider, she trips on a rock and looks on frightened, as the spider is about to kill her.
"HELP!" Mato's cry causes a blue flame to emerge from her left eye and eventually causes her to transform into Black Rock Shooter for the first time in the real world.
Rock sees the spider about to stomp her and jumps out of the way. Instead of fighting, however, Rock becomes confused at her transformation.
"I had only intended to communicate to my other self to run, but instead I manifested myself in the real world by taking over her body. What is going on?"
Rock finally turns her attention to the giant spider as it charges towards her.
"No matter the reason, I won't let you win." Black Rock Shooter aims her Rock Cannon towards the spider, intending to kill it.
Before Rock can fire, Kuro suddenly tackled the spider, sending it flying a short distance. Rin, who is standing on top of Kuro, unsheathes his Kurikara, transforming him into his demon form as blue flames begin to cover his body. Rock watches with astonishment.
"Who is he?" Rock thought to herself.
Rin jumps off Kuro and shoots out blue flames from his sword, instantly killing his giant foe.
"DIE YOU MONSTER!" Rin stabs the spider to insure it is dead.
After the spider's defeat, it disappears right in front of Rock, Kuro, and Rin. Rock gives Mato back her body after seeing that the trouble is over and the first thing she sees is Rin standing right in front of her after putting his blade back. Rin turns back to the girl and briefly becomes mesmerized by her blue eyes, but snaps out of it quickly and helps Mato up.
"Are you okay?" Rin asked.
"Yes, thank you for saving me, but what is that thing?"
"That is what I would like to know myself. I heard your cry for help so I rushed in and killed that thing."
Mato becomes embarrassed when she finds out that the reason he is here was because of her.
"With that out of the way. Do you mind if I ask you for a favor even though we don't know each other?"
"You saved my life so I can manage to spare a little time for you."
Rin takes out a map and begins searching. "I got lost. Can you tell me where this dorm is?"
Mato comically falls to the ground disappointed as she expects that he would ask her to hang out with him, but helps him anyway. Rin points to the area on the map for Mato to see. She points north by telling him that it is a 10 minute walk from here and that he should be able to see a big sign of the dorm afterwards, but realizes that this is the dorm owned by the same high school she is going to.
"So you are going to the same school as I am?"
"Looks like I am." Rin laughs.
Mato becomes energetic after hearing that. "Then I will look forward to hanging out with you once you arrive."
"I am fine with that. Thank you for your help, but I must get going now."
Rin heads off, but Mato suddenly remembers something. "I almost forgot we haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Mato Kuroi, what is yours?"
"Rin Okumura. I'll see you at school." Rin continues forward.
"All right, I'll see you soon." Mato waves goodbye to Rin before heading home.
In the Other World, Rock sits on a boulder still wondering how she is able to manifest herself to the real world and why such a creature from her world is able to do so also. As Rock continues to wonder in her own thoughts, Dead Master arrives for an unexpected visit. Although remaining silent, Dead Master signals Rock to follow her, which she does. When they arrive to a nearby hill, Black Gold Saw is already there as she continues to stare at a dark glow on another far away hill.
Black Rock Shooter took a closer look at the hill and sees that the glow is actually the forming of an unknown "other self", something never encountered by the three before as they continue to look on.
"Could this be the cause?" Rock continues to wander in her thoughts.
Once Rin finished unpacking his things, he immediately lays down in bed out of relief as Kuro watches him.
"Man, I thought I would never get this thing done." Rin soon begins relaxing, but Kuro remains unsure whether he can do that after the fight with the spider.
"Are you sure it is okay to relax like this after fighting a creature that we do not know about?"
"I had my thoughts on that as well since we do not know what that thing is. I will try to figure out the situation eventually, but since we just arrived to this school, it's relaxing time until then."
"You should consider being more prepared for such situations in case another shows up." Kuro continues to protest.
"There is no way we can prepare for something we do not know of. We will train when we have the time to."
"Is this what Yukio calls a peaceful city?"
A vein mark appears on Rin's head. "I know, right? Once I see my brother again, I am going to give him a peace of my mind for lying to me."
"Shouldn't you contact Yukio about what you encountered? I am sure that he wouldn't have known about this situation otherwise he wouldn't have send you here."
"I maybe only an Exwire, but I am still an Exorcist and as one I must protect the people like the rest, even though what we are fighting may not be demons. There are no combat-oriented Exorcists here so I will stay and figure things out on my own. Maybe that will teach me something about how to become a better Exorcist and maybe even how to control my powers better."
"It could be a good experience, but try not to get over your head just because you fought one monster."
"We'll see. Do you want to play Kuro?"
"Do I?" Kuro becomes excited.
"Of course." Rin takes out a cat toy and Kuro playfully tries to catch it.
The next day, there were news reports of destruction on the neighborhood as many people were being interviewed on what they saw. Many described it as a giant spider and reportedly took pictures and recorded as prove, but it still left investigators in doubt, knowing such creature did not exist until one came today, leading them to believe that the evidence is false, causing the investigation to be extended in an attempt to find the real cause and/or perpetrator to the destruction.
Hearing the news report worries Mato as she continues to space out in class.
"Is there something wrong?" Yomi asked.
"Nothing. I am just a little worried what happened yesterday."
"The police confirmed that the threat yesterday is now over so don't feel so down, okay? Just be glad that there are no real casualties."
"Thank you Yomi." Mato lifts her head and decides to put yesterday's memories aside after remembering that Rin saved her.
"I wonder when will I get to see him again." Mato whispers.
Once the teacher arrives, he announces that the class will have a new student coming today and told them to give him a warm welcome once he enters the class.
"All right, you can come in now." The teacher called to the new student.
As the class watches curiously, Rin steps into the classroom and takes a good look at his new classmate and spots Mato, who in turn spots him, much to her surprise.
"Allow me to introduce him to all of you. His name is Rin Okumura who had a former job as an Exorcist during his earlier school years and his brother sent him here for him to learn how to have a normal life. I hope you all treat him with respect."
Not knowing the type of Exorcist he is, some of the class soon started asking questions on whether he had to face ghosts or not. Rin responded that he doesn't want to talk about his life as an Exorcist and just want to fit into the class. Although this was just a lie since Rin still has a desire to raise his rank as an Exorcist, the class bought the lie and some apologizes to him, thinking that they may have made him relive a past trauma.
"Rin, you can now find yourself a seat. I hope you get along with the class."
Rin does so and sits in an empty seat in front of Mato, much to his happiness to be near a familiar face. Rin turns back to Mato and smiles at her and she does the same, earning suspicion from Yomi and Yuu.
In a mental hospital, an insane patient was thrown into solitary confinement after he attempted to attack some of the other patients. During his stay, he begins to laugh maniacally and the dark glow in the Other World begins glowing brighter, revealing that the glow is a manifestation of his other self.
Because there has been so much support of Rin and BRS being together, I decided to make a fanfic of them, containing elements of the anime and OVA, although I don't know too much about Ao No Exorcist so I separated Rin from the other characters except Kuro so I don't make too many mistakes in the story. I hope you enjoyed this first chapter, because I also had fun making it.

Helen Ellery is delighted. She has found a snail on her stairs - inside her flat, a cosy two-bedroom Georgian sanctuary above an old shopfront which now serves as her office. While most of us would be vaguely disgusted to find a trail of slime leading to a snail inside our homes, for Helen it is proof that she has managed to achieve exactly what she wanted: to bring the outside in. If only the odd bee and caterpillar would make themselves at home too, she would be a very happy woman.
Walk up a narrow flight of stairs and you find yourself in Helen's English country cottage. You can almost hear the sea washing up against the shingle beach outside and the seagulls swooping around the sunny blue sky. The smell of freshly cut narcissus wafts about in the breeze from the open windows of the living room. It's only the end of February, but spring has arrived. But the truth is, we are about as far away from the great British seaside as it is possible to be. This is industrial, urban Clerkenwell in central London.
The views out of the windows are of scaffolding and building sites. In the middle of the night, it is not the waves that keep Helen awake but the rumble of the meat trucks on their way to Smithfield Market. Nevertheless, she has filled her home with a little bit of sea air with the help of some carefully chosen decoration and design.
'London's really hard,' she says. 'It's difficult to find the tranquillity of the countryside. I wanted to do a country environment in an urban space.' Originally from south Wales, she has been living in London since her days working in the record industry, promoting bands. As a mature student, she applied to St Martins to do a foundation course and then a degree in graphics. Then she took a step further and went to Chelsea College of Art to do interior design. While there, she had the inklings of an idea and had already decided on the name of her business, The Plot.
'It was about growth, propagation and all things that come from seed.' Now 36, her interiors business has well and truly taken root. She is about to complete a 36-room house in Salisbury, which has been fitted out with grass-green rugs 'mown' to give the outlines of a maze, oversized checks, big chintzy floral curtains, a garden room full of rose prints, and a colour palette taken directly from the gardens outside - in full summer bloom, of course.
The Plot's ethos is the classic 'British with a twist' idea that Paul Smith has worked into a fine art with his fashion brand. Helen's own home is, in a way, her calling card. There are 'lawn' carpets in bright grassy green, 'rape' rugs the shade of an oil-seed rape field just before it's flowered, miniature black-and-white chequerboard tiles in the kitchen, in keeping with the scale of the place, an oversized sofa with traditional English country check upholstery, and lovely, blousy florals on curtains and coming alive on canvases hung around the place.
'Going home to my parents in the countryside is definitely an inspiration for me,' she says. 'All those vegetable patches, big lawns, traditional flowers.' The Britishness of it all is quite fundamental to Helen's vision. But this is not a style lifted straight out of a typical stately home. It's quite tongue in cheek. 'There has to be an element of humour,' she says. 'I didn't want it to be twee. You are living in the city after all, and I didn't want to live in the past.'
Hence the upside-down china cup and saucer lampshade in the kitchen, the Fido (the nodding dog and his tiny model kennel), the lettuce-leaf cushions, the miniature doll's house bath and sink set perched in the bathroom under the toilet cistern, and the painting that she commissioned for the first-floor landing. She asked for a picture of a slug, and in return was presented with the word 'SLUG' written in big, green sluggly letters.
The seaside feel is helped along by the fact that the walls are entirely tongue-and-grooved and took about three weeks to install. The house itself was built around 1740, part of a terrace that includes a silversmith, a couple of cafés and a Chinese takeaway. Helen bought it after selling her warehouse loft around the corner. She's one of those Midas touch people who has made money on property, which is how she finances her own venture.
'When I bought it the developers were starting to work on it,' she says. She asked them to stop and took on the development herself, drawing up plans and contracting out the work. 'I wanted it to be in keeping with the rest of the street,' she says. It took a year to complete but, she says, that was the exciting part. The kitchen and living room are linked, while there are two small bedrooms upstairs and a white-tiled shower room making the whole thing very compact.
A skylight on the upstairs landing makes it feel more airy and spacious than it is. The grass-green carpet runs all the way up the stairs, providing the perfect 'lawn' for Helen's extraordinary floral curtains to grow out of. The fabric was something of an indulgence - it cost the best part of £1,500. For a single window. 'I did have a budget,' she admits, slightly sheepishly, 'but when it's your own home, you stretch it. You suddenly have carpenters in making kitchen units.
'I am organised and tidy. I have to be. But there's stuff in here I really don't need. And I've still got some shelves to put up.' Apart from that, the place is perfect. It looks as though it has always been this way - one of those immaculate homes that makes you feel horribly inadequate.
On the ground floor she has her office. It feels completely separate to the rest of the house. She also rents out a desk to the pub next door. On the wall next to her desk, she has pinned a couple of packets of seeds - richly coloured pansies - to inspire her and, like the ideas in her sketchbooks, to grow into something big, bold and beautiful. Hers is a very fertile plot indeed.

Chapter 4: LennonMature
I've been hearing rumors around school about Paul Jenkins being seriously ill. Apparently, the vomiting episode that I encountered the other day didn't end. I took him to the health room and attempted to clean off the vomit from my shoes and then left. Evidently, he continued to puke and is now in the hospital with severe dehydration. He can't keep anything down. People are saying it's like some weird form of dysentery. I know that people in Third World countries had serious problems with dysentery, but Americans haven't. Our water has always been clean and purified ever since I can remember. But we did just get here, relatively speaking, so maybe they were having some trouble with the pipes.
I decided to stop drinking the school water, thinking it was that, but after awhile I got too thirsty and everyone seemed to be doing fine. I guess it was just Paul's house. I went to the store and picked up a water purifier for my mom and hooked it up for her. Didn't want to take any chances.
Jake Fields, Paul's best friend, came up to me when I was cleaning out my locker at the end of a long day.
"Hey, I just wanted to thank you for taking care of Paul the other day."
I gave him a strange look, unsure of what to say in response to that. All I did was take him to the health room.
"He was like puking all morning, but he insisted on coming to school 'cause he had a test. I told him it was a terrible idea and he should stay home and rest."
"Hey, don't worry about it. Is he doing okay?"
Jake shrugged. "I don't know. He's not stopping. He's got nothing left. I went to see him and he was like a skeleton. It's only been a week. The doctors can't figure out what's wrong with him, they've tried everything. His mom's freaking out. You know."
I nodded, swallowing deeply. I felt my heart speed up and could only imagine how worried Paul's mom was.
"So…is it Paul's water or what?" I asked, cautiously, not wanting to upset Jake.
"Yeah, I guess so. But his mom's been on some kind of juice diet, so she hasn't been drinking the water. Just buying juice from the store."
"Man…I'm sorry about Paul."
"Yeah, thanks," Jake said, patting me on the shoulder. "I'll see you." He walked past me.
"See ya." I watched him walk away, my heart beating out of my chest. I threw my backpack over my shoulder and fast-walked hurriedly out of school, anxious to get home and talk to Juliet about what's going on. Things are starting to weird me out. A new planet, fishy water, threatening weather patterns. We were definitely not as safe here as the government claimed we were.


text: Hello, everyone. Well, sorry because of the late greeting. It's so rude of me to, you know, introduce myself this late. I've joined Protagonize montths ago, but.... Ahem. I'm too eager to write, I think. Thanks for the ones who gave a warm welcome to me... and.... have a nice day.

"YouCaring has an aura about definitely caring about the people who use the site and who have a humanitarian mission on it. YouCaring has this great sense of humanity and 'down-to-earthiness' about it. It's really amazing that they don't take a cut of the fundraising funds that were raised. Everything about it felt right, it felt like the right thing to do, it was very easy to use. It is definitely geared for people with a lot of medical issues."
Aubrie has been battling a complicated case of Lyme disease since she was 19, for over a decade. Her particular case has required multiple treatments and surgeries. Aubrie needs to raise funds to pay medical bills from ongoing treatments for her tick-related illness and her basic living expenses. She is too sick and in too much pain to work. As her orthopedic surgeon told her, "You are the poster child for what's wrong with America's healthcare system."
While Aubrie cannot finance her own medical and living expenses, she has found a solution with successful crowdfunding and a winning positive attitude. Aubrie and her partner use social media successfully with free online crowdfunding, using photos, videos, and frequent updates. By sharing her compelling story, Aubrie inspires others to donate to her own fundraiser.
"This has been a year of physical pain, emotional ardor, and genuine humility in the face of the generosity people have shown toward Aubrie." -Aubrie's partner, Sam
Aubrie needs to raise $90,000, and so far she has raised almost half of this amount to pay for ongoing follow-up exams, medications, prescription co-pays, and outstanding medical bills, plus rent, transportation, and other basic living expenses. To compound her financial difficulties, Medicaid wrongly billed her to pay expenses upfront, and Aubrie is unsure about getting reimbursed.
By sharing her achievements and setbacks while continuing to live her life the best she can, Aubrie benefits from online donations and offers hope to others experiencing hardship in their lives. Her high school, college and graduate school, poetry, and family and friend communities are all a part of her social network to tap into for her fundraising campaign.
Aubrie talks about her frustrations with getting and paying for proper and punctual medical treatment related to Lyme disease:
"So much of the early handling of the disease was a shameful mess. I don't know if they'd ever come out and say, 'We waited too long, we didn't pay attention to this. We've underrated it and we've misdiagnosed it.' It doesn't make sense to me, having lived in a community that's been decimated by it, that the funding wouldn't be a huge part of the government agenda."
We're deeply inspired by Aubrie who still needs help, so we ask you to please donate and share her fundraiser campaign today. Spread the word. Ask others to give. You won't regret it.
Like Aubrie, if you struggle with an illness and a financial hardship, or if you know someone who does, YouCaring can help. Share your story to crowdfund your expenses. Learn more about how to tell a successful fundraiser story and start your own free fundraiser today.

2nd International Conference on Polymyxins
The Polymyxin Jigsaw: More pieces put in place
After ICAAC/ICC 2015, we invite you to attend the 2nd International Conference on Polymyxins to learn of the latest achievements on all major aspects of the polymyxin antibiotics.
Colistin and polymyxin B are last therapeutic options for treatment of life-threatening infections caused by Gram-negative 'superbugs', namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Since the 1st International Conference on Polymyxins in 2013 (Prato, Italy), significant progress has been made in the clinical use and pharmacology of polymyxins, in particular PK/PD/TD and nephrotoxicity, and discovery of novel polymyxin-like antibiotics.
The conference program will feature cutting-edge presentations on a range of key topics. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we look forward to seeing the polymyxin community gather in San Diego in September 2015.
Prof Jian Li PhD
Chair, Organising Committee
Prof Keith Kaye MD, MPH
Deputy Chair, Organising Committee
The conference will be held at the ARE Spectrum Conference Center, 10996 Torreyana Road, San Diego, USA following ICAAC/ICC 2015.

Best of Kuala Lumpur
Top 10 Kuala Lumpur Chinatown
The Best of Chinatown Kuala Lumpur
One of the country's greatest tourist draws, Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown is a thriving tourist bubble, blessed with a must-see collection of temples, handicrafts markets and art galleries. A small area largely dominated by the city's Chinese community, every guidebook ever written on Kuala Lumpur will tell you to expect shopping bargains of a lifetime here, especially at the notorious Petaling Street market, where fake-label goods can be found in abundance!
Besides that, Chinatown is great for its food, particularly hawker cuisine, but do not be fooled - this area is also a fantastic place for charming bistros and even, an award-winning French-Italian restaurant! A fun area known for its bustle and exotica, come nightfall it is not the sort of place for footloose action - rather Chinatown charms with its alternative nightlife offerings, from an art gallery/ bar combo to a 24-hour snooker centre.Read More

Disco Medley, Part 1 lyrics - I Will Survive/Funky Town [Live]
Disco Medley, Part 1 Song Lyrics
How ya doin' Houston, Texas?
First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights just thinking
how you did me wrong, and I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And now you're back from outer space
Don't turn around, 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die
Now go now go, walk out the door
Don't turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down die
Oh no not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love,
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give
I will survive, I will survive...hey, hey, hey
Todos de pie, vamonos!
Todo el mundo...eso!
Everybody stand up! Let's go!
Everybody! That's it!
Talk about it, talk about it,
talk about it, talk about it
Talk about it, talk about it, talk about movin'
Gotta move on (3x)
Won't you take me to Funky Town? (4x)

- Description
The Uriclak Incontinence Clamp, manufactured by Uriclak, is penis clamp that is a non-invasive and an effective incontinence control device. It simply provides a comfortable, directed squeeze to close the urethra off and prevent urine leakage. It does not require a prescription and is a good candidate that may help one avoid catheterization or need for external urinary collection bags.
The device is unique in that Uriclak does not integrate clips or clasps to secure the clamp. The incontinence clamp opens without a locking or external release mechanism. The user simply squeezes the sides of the device, creating a circular opening wide enough for the penis to be inserted. By slowly releasing the sides, the ring flattens around the penis, effectively closing off the urethra.
The Uriclak will stay in one spot after closing because of the semi circular positioning bars built into the inside of ring. They keep the clamp from rotating and hold the top of the penis in line so the bottom cushion will be appropriately raised against the urethra. To release and allow urine to flow again, one simply has to squeeze the sides and the Uriclak to open it back up and allow urine to pass through the urethra.
Uriclak uses soft medical approved material (USP class VI) made of resilient and flexible material. In addition to phenomenal flex, the clamp does not contain foam, which is sometimes problematic picking up moisture or urine prone to causing odor or foam breakdown over time.
This device features a universal design that will fit almost any anatomy. If you deem the pressure too great, though, you can use the included pins to create more space for a more comfortable fit. The larger the pin, the lower amount of pressure will be pressed against you. If you find that there is not enough pressure, you can use surgical tape to wrap around the raised area at the bottom, which will apply additional pressure to your urethra.
Who is a good candidate for the Uriclak device?
- It is good for men who have incontinence after prostate surgery.
- It is good for older men who may have some loss of urinary control.
- It may work well for those who have a mental or physical disability and is supervised by another person.
Buy now and prevent embarrassing and unnecessary urinary incontinence today! However, if this device does not meet your specific incontinence needs, make sure to check out other incontinence clamps, such as this penile clamp and penis clamp, here.
Uriclak Features and Benefits
- The clamp does not prevent blood flow to the penis.
- The clamp is a one-size-fits-all design.
- It is highly flexible and adustable for comfort.
- It includes spacers to adjust clamp tightness.
- It is lightweight and has a neutral color as to not attract attention.
- It does not require clamps or clasps.
- The clamp does not have sharp edges or hinges that could pinch.
- It effectively prevents leakage from the urethra, even during movement.
- It will not absorb moisture or include foam that has a tendency to draw odors.

Product QuestionsIs this worn at night, or what does a man do since there is so much urination during the night? Right now, he uses an eternal catheter (Men's Liberty) all the time with a bed bag at night, and a leg bag during the day. Would this work so that he wouldn't have to use this, or is this only for leaks, and not incontinence?Is there a form of metal in the inside of the Uriclak clamp? If so, will it be detected when I go through the metal detector at the airport?

Welcome to Morganville
I decided to write this attributed to the series of books, ''Morganville Vampires'' written by Rachel Caine. Initially I wrote it for fanfiction, but... Because it's not Myrnin/Claire, I don't believe it's gotten any real spotlight. So I'd like to put it up here, and see how it goes.
This story is about an MC. It's MC/Myrnin because he's amazing, and it's fun to make things up about his past. He seemed like a little bit of a ho. Rated T that will eventually turn to M.
Summary: Nyx is new to Morganville, and has more knowledge and ability than Claire could ever dream of having. She's come as Myrnin's apprentice, and very much like Ada, she takes an interest in him. Only, Nyx is a different kind of vampire. A stranger, older kind. Stronger. Will that all bode well for Myrnin…? Or will he come crashing down again?
Character Introduction.
Name: Nyx Craine. (Nyx's real surname was lost through the centuries.)
Appearance: Black hair, dark blue eyes, pale skin with a small height. She looks about 20.
Backround info: Nyx is an old, old vampire, perhaps made before Amelie or Myrnin. She is named after the Greek Goddess of Night. She's from Greece, the ancient Greece (the times of Titans and Gods), and has mastered many other languages among her own. Nyx is a very unusual, mysterious vampire but everyone seems to respect her - especially Myrnin, when he sees her. She's said to be Nyx herself, the actual Goddess on Earth, but she has never said this to be true, nor has she denied it. She likes silk, velvet, shadows and mystery crimes.
Chapter One - Welcome to Morganville.
Nyx's POV.
She had heard tell-tales of this town - of Morganville - so many years ago, though to believe such a thing was a fantasy. But here she stood, at the sun-faded edges of it, bathed in the silvery moonlight. She glanced around her and saw nothing but dusty desert for miles around. A wise choice; landlocked. Nyx felt tremors run through her entire body, ones of nervousness and excitement. Nervousness because many of the vampires that had come to inhabit Morganville were enemies she'd tried to kill - or that had tried to kill her - and excitement, because there would be actual vampires. So long she'd lived among humans, to have to act like one of them and talk like one of them and look like one of them - but not now.
Nyx's long, onyx-dark hair was catching on torrents of wind, and gently sweeping around her in long, glittering, silky tendrils. It brushed into her midnight-blue eyes, eyes that caught the gleam of the moonlight and threw it back. Her pale, cold skin was exposed in acres because of her clothing. She wore straight-leg black pants with a gentle crease along the middle, and tall, high-heeled boots that enhanced her height further. She wore a sleeveless black silken shirt with ruffles and cascading-like reflections that enhanced her voluptuous curves. Over her arm she carried her long, black coat made of the finest silk and satin, layered with thick velvet. She looked dark and dangerous, and very, very tempting.
This was it.
Nyx's booted foot stepped over the border of the town, and she felt something surge through her whole body and burst with different emotions. Emotions she had learned so long ago to keep chained and locked up within her own mind. She cautiously gathered a slow, steady pace, walking along the dusty road, watching the town rise up from minute specks of concrete. She watched impassively as then, the city of hopes unravelled right before her eyes. It was maybe 10 pm, yet the town was swelling and heaving with activity. Mostly vampiric activity, Nyx guessed, seeing as humans were so terrified of her race. And she was correct - just as she weaved into a more central part of the town, humans looking tired, harassed and frightened drove their cars just at the speed limit, in a hurry to get home. Nyx sniggered. Their terror never failed to amuse her.
Nyx frowned a moment, looking at the scattered buildings surrounding her. Where was she? Nyx's hand slipped into one of her pants pockets, and she pulled a delicate piece of parchment out and unfolded it, square by square, until it was open in a perfect yet small rectangle. Nyx's body slowly relaxed as the worried tension drained from her aching muscles, and she began walking again, following the map.
Morganville, she had to admit, wasn't too impressive. It was small and ugly, with sun-faded wooden shops and battered concrete pavements, and dirty, dusty roads. Nyx found it hard to believe that vampires of such high status would agree to live here. Would not object to live here. Nyx's lips twisted into a gentle scowl. She would keep her judgement silent, she knew, but still. The town that she'd imagined held so much life looked rather dead and abandoned.
And then, she turned the corner into Founder's Square.
Nyx's dark eyes widened slightly. Dust turned to glitter, and concrete turned to polished marble - in the middle of the square was a beautiful fountain carved from fine, white marble with a steady, gentle flow of clear water spilling along the smooth surface creating a crystal effect. Lights blazed through the square, and shop windows were lit and busy, just as the cafés and restaurants were. Nyx passed countless jewellery stores with glistening, seductive gems on display and bright, fashionable clothing stores. All looked silly and too over the top to her eyes. Still, this was not her town and she didn't say what went and what didn't. Silent judgement. That's what she promised herself.
The marble continued all along the square, even the Elder's Council building was made from the same, expensive material. Impressive, she thought grudgingly, but way too fitting for kings and queens. She said nothing as two guards approached her just as she finished ascending the steps to the main doors. They looked at her a moment, then the taller blonde one said, ''Name?'' Nyx blinked. He had a Texan accent, which both confused and amused her.
''Nyx. I'm expected,'' she replied, and saw them both stiffen, shock crossing each of their expressions. The blonde one nodded. ''Of course, Miss, beg your pardon.''
Nyx's head bobbed slightly, as they opened the doors and waved her in. The second she was inside, the scent of roses and wine hit her in an intoxicating wave. She inhaled it softly through her nose, and closed her eyes. It reminded her… Of… She blinked, and stopped inhaling. She let out the unneeded breaths with discontent, and looked around.
A tall, sharp-faced male vampire dressed similarly to her stood by a white stone pillar looking far from amused, and a light shone in his eye slightly as his eyes grazed along her figure in a cool, assessing way. Something common for vampires to do to one another. He then bowed to her deeply, a sign of respect Nyx had not seen for so long. Clearly, he was an old vampire - manners like that would have gone amiss near the seventeenth century.
''Miss Nyx Craine, a pleasure to finally meet you,'' he said. Nyx was slightly surprised to hear the English accent in his voice. It was strangely familiar, though Nyx couldn't place his face with that voice. Maybe she didn't know him. She shook it from her mind, and curtseyed slightly in his direction, returning the mannerly greeting. It was only polite. ''May I ask your name, sir?'' she said, tilting her head softly at the inquisition.
She noticed how his eyes flickered a moment - shock, or he was simply startled. God, was there something off about her voice today? He replied, though, in a generally pleased tone, ''You may call me Oliver. Come, I'll bring you to Amelie.''
He pushed off of the pillar, and began to walk down a hallway towards the left. She followed in quick pursuit, though his pace wasn't a challenge, even if it had been vampire quick. He turned his head slightly to look at her and say, ''I haven't heard an accent like that in quite a while. Greek?'' he asked, and oh. Oh. She realised everyone's surprise when she'd spoken.
''Yes, mainly.''
''You are fluent in more.''
''Of course. Latin, Irish, English, French, the list continues. Greece is my homeland, though.''
She paused. When had she said so much before? To a stranger? No. He wasn't a stranger, though she couldn't place his face, and it would annoy her until she discovered and unmasked the secret. Oliver said no more as they walked and walked, finally coming to a standstill outside a pair of double doors, carved from beautiful mahogany with gleaming golden handles. Oliver took hold of them and pushed the doors open, and stepped in, Nyx following him, sweeping through with a vibe of energy pulsating around her like an aura at all times.
There were quite a few people - vampires and humans - sitting at an oval-shaped table, made of the same wood as the door. Each and every one of them stood, just as Oliver closed the doors. The only one who did not stand, though, was Amelie.
Nyx examined Amelie, just as she knew the ice queen was doing to her, too. Where Nyx was dark, Amelie was light - dressed in an immaculate white tailored suit with her pale hair piled into a crown on top of her head, and a delicate necklace of pearls decorated her throat. Nyx took note of how the suit was only a shade darker than her skin. Creepy, but in a beautiful kind of way. Nyx bowed her head formally to the Founder, just as the smaller woman mimicked, only it seemed stiffer, somehow. Nyx knew her body was more liquid, more fluid. She was more like a roaming panther, whereas Amelie was more of a tiger. Maybe a lioness. She blinked and Amelie put her elbows on the table, resting her delicate chin on her clasped fingers.
''Welcome to Morganville, Nyx.''
''Thank you most graciously for the invitation, Amelie.''
Someone took in a sharp breath. Did no one call her Amelie? Or was it just odd for an outsider to use her name? She pondered these things silently at the back of her mind.
''You understand,'' she spoke in a cool, calculated tone, ''that it was not simply a generous gesture. I require your assistance.''
''I was aware that this wasn't a kind offer. What is it you so desperately need me to do?'' asked Nyx, and couldn't manage to keep the venom from her voice. She had crossed paths with Amelie one too many times over the years, some encounters less pleasant than others, of course. Still, she liked the woman less and less. She'd only come out of curiosity, then again - curiosity killed the cat, did it not? She bit the inside of her cheek absently, waiting for her reply.
''It is not desperation I am acting out of. I simply need the assistance of your widely-appreciated mind and skills to help that of Myrnin's.''
''Who is Myrnin?'' Nyx asked, quite sure she knew the name from somewhere. Myrnin… An old name. Definitely, but the face to match was long forgotten by Nyx's mind by now, her memories faded. Amelie simply gave her a look, a long, cold one with ice-like grey eyes. ''Myrnin was once a great scholar. I am surprised by your lack of attention through your long life, Nyx.''
''You know what they say,'' said Nyx through gritted teeth, ''when you get old, the mind is the first thing to go.''
That earned a quickly stifled laugh flutter through the room. Nyx felt a cold power wash over her, and her mind bristled at the feel of it, her skin taking on a slight heat. Compulsion. How… Quaint. Nyx let out a small laugh that sounded like rattling on tin-foil. ''Dear Amelie, you needn't try any of your little tricks to get me to obey. I will do it.''
The cold, sickening wave of what Amelie was trying to do receded quickly, and Nyx's teeth threatened to bear themselves in a snarl. A snarl which was growling in the back of her throat encased within a soft hum. ''Good,'' said the ice queen, her pale eyebrows risen slightly in what could have been surprise, or anger, distracting Nyx from her blazing fury, ''then I shall get someone to escort you to Myrnin's laboratory. Claire, Detective Hess, please,'' she said, and a small, fragile-looking human stood with what Nyx realised was a police officer. Claire weaved her way to the doors, and smiled very briefly at Nyx, while the detective waved her ahead of him. How odd, to have human escorts. She could hear the pounding of the young girl's heart, and the steady, relaxed thrum of the detective's. She could smell the blood that rushed through their veins and anxiety was thick in the air. She grinned, only slightly. It was amusing to say the least.
Claire led them from the building and out of Founder's Square to the main road where they bundled up into the back of a parked cruiser. The detective slid into the driver's seat, and the young girl into the passenger seat while Nyx eased herself onto the bench in the back of the car - the smell of coffee and blood was almost suffocating - and settled into her seat with tensed muscles.
''Buckle up, ladies.''
Nyx didn't bother - how likely was it she'd be killed in a car accident? - and simply resorted to staring out the window at the Morganville that was beyond the heavy tinting. Seemed it was custom to all cars; they passed multiple sedans with the same darkly-clouded windows.
''So, Claire, how are you these days?'' asked the detective. Nyx was aware the girl was nervous, and apparently, Hess could sense it too. ''Fine,'' she replied but her voice quaked. ''Kinda freaked to be seeing Myrnin again, to be honest.''
''Oh yeah? Why's that?''
''Well, I haven't seen him in a while. Looking forward to see what he's created in his spare time.'' The sarcasm was thick in her voice, which almost enticed a snort from Nyx. But only almost. ''Sir, may I ask what time it is?'' asked Nyx, leaning forward in her seat, feeling her words roll off of her tongue. Huh. Maybe her accent was thicker now in the company of Texans. ''Uh - it's 10.40 pm,'' replied Hess, which Nyx nodded to. Good. Normally, she'd have been falling into bed at this time, keeping with human hours, but she did feel a little stronger now, more alert and awake. She couldn't guarantee it, but maybe Morganville would improve on her health. Her sleeping hours, anyway.
''Miss Craine, we're here,'' said the little girl, and bailed from the car with awkward human moves. Nyx observed, watching carefully. How had a girl like this survived in Morganville, a town of vampires, for years? Or did she grow up here? Nyx made a mental note to ask later, and followed Claire down an alleyway between houses on a friendly-looking street. Hess stayed in the car.
''Um, Myrnin's kind of… Well, crazy. I'm supposed to warn you.''
Nyx blinked, paused in her tracks for a moment, then laughed. It was a real, genuine laugh that made her inhale a breath. It was brief, but her mood instantly improved, and she was still smiling when she said, ''And you know this how?''
''I was his apprentice,'' she said quietly, and dug in her pocket for keys as they entered a rotting wooden shack with a door, padlocked shut, at the end of it. ''Well, kinda still am. Amelie said she'd observe how much you two can get done - if I'm needed anymore, she'll continue our agreement. If not…''
The young girl didn't finish, and Nyx felt a twinge of guilt. ''I am sorry. If had not come, you would still be learning from him?''
''Well, yeah. I love it, but sometimes he's so…'' Claire threw up her hands in a gesture of speechlessness. Nyx carefully took note of how the Americans spoke - it was foreign to her, the use of the English language by people who weren't of Brittan origins. It fascinated her. ''But it makes more sense. You're more intelligent, you understand what he's teaching, and you're stronger.''
''Myrnin has… Moods. Kind of threatening moods, sometimes, and well, I'm not exactly built to match him. Y'know?'' she said, as she unlocked the titanium door and opened it. They descended down a flight of steps, old concrete gradually turning into solid marble, and then, as they landed into the body of the lab itself, a cold, tiled floor; suitable for working with chemicals and the like. The lab, though, was chaos.
Nyx examined each stack of teetering, hazardous books piled everywhere and anywhere; countless bookshelves overflowing with thick volumes, a few marble-topped lab tables with steam-punk designed objects on them, looking lonely, lost and abandoned, and countless lights - oil lamps, modern electricity-fuelled ones, and candles, all blazing atop every surface. And then, a man.
He stood tall and kind of lanky, with a graceful take to his body, no sign of jerky, uncontrolled movements of an insane vampire; long, glossy black hair full of waves, pale skin that shone ever so slightly with a pretty faint golden colour, and wide, dark eyes streaked with gold and brown. And when his face came out of a book, Nyx was thrown by his astonishing looks. He'd probably been changed when he was in his mid-twenties, perhaps younger. Still, his face just did not click, and that began to prod at the back of her mind restlessly. Sheknew him from somewhere.
''Ah, Claire! Excellent timing. Did you bring coffee? I like coffee. I need you to - ''
And his eyes fell upon Nyx's waiting form, and he suddenly stopped. Just froze, his eyes wide and unblinking while she remained cool and relaxed. She felt Claire stiffen, and move back a step. ''Myrnin, this is Nyx, your new assistant for the time being. Amelie invited her to come.''
''Amelie invited you, child?''
''Yes,'' she replied, a slender, perfectly plucked eyebrow risen at the 'child' comment. Did she look that young? Perhaps not - perhaps he just hadn't seen much beyond these four walls for some time. ''I understand you teach the terms of Alchemy and Physics.''
''I - well - yes.'' He stuttered over his words, placing the book down on the table without much regard for it, even though its state was ragged and likely to fall apart at any time. ''I have been teaching Claire here the basics for nearly two years now.''
''Yes, I have been enlightened to this,'' she said, speaking to him more like a business partner than a higher-in-command, ''I am aware of what you're trying to do.''
Myrnin looked startled just as Claire cleared her throat. ''My ride's waiting outside. I guess I better, um, go. Bye.'' She turned and fled the lab, obviously relieved to be out. Nyx herself was beginning to feel slightly claustrophobic, but she honestly couldn't figure out why. She'd been accustomed to small spaces all her life - after all, for nearly twenty years, she was confined to the same small room, and when the services were over… The room seemed even smaller. She nipped the inside of her cheek, scolding herself. At least she'd been a vampire then. Still. Those days haunted her every waking thought.
''Which would be?'' asked Myrnin, pulling her back into the real world. He strode to a thread-bare couch, knocked books to the floor to make space and sprawled himself out onto it. It wasn't so much a sprawl, she realised, he was just extremely tall. She blinked, a frown curving her lips very slightly. She relaxed her stance, but only barely. ''What?'' she asked, causing him to breathe an impatient sigh.
''What are we trying to do that Amelie's made you aware of?''
''Several things. One being the fact that this generations' vampires are weaker than what they used to be. Than what they should be. And it's disturbingly worrying.''
Silence. Tense, uneasiness spread through the room and it rung in Nyx's ears like a butler bell. She was gnawing the inside of her cheek at this stage, fretting the answer he'd come out with, but he simple sat there, his body almost coiled like a cobra, deciphering whether to attack or not. Then, after a few long, torturous seconds he nodded. ''Wise of her to tell you that. But she knows not what is causing this sudden decline in strength, and neither do I. Which means no one will. So, really, your arrival here was not necessary. Sorry to inform you so harshly of the matter, but you really must be on your way. Goodbye, Miss Nyx. Lovely to make your acquaintance.''
He rose from his seat and made his way towards her, but Nyx didn't move. She just stood there like a statue when suddenly, as his hands reached out, a voice said, ''Myrnin, do remember your manners around guests.'' His hands stopped reaching towards her, and then her arm was in a firm grip by his hand. His skin was much warmer than hers. She was colder. Odd. ''Amelie, I will not stand by and watch you work this woman to death just because you require answers you will never have!'' said Myrnin fiercely, a crimson light burning like hellfire in his eyes for a moment. But only a moment. And then, Amelie stepped out of the stairwell, and she looked so perfect, like a beacon of light among all the filth and untidiness around her. She clasped her hands very gently in front of her, her face a cool, remote void of expression. ''Think carefully about that statement, Myrnin, and the next one.''
''You know we cannot provide the answers. All forms of science and mythology in the world will not help. It is a lost cause.''
He sounded drained of hope and energy, and Nyx wrenched herself from his grip, suddenly outraged to be in someone else's grip; to be at someone else's mercy. She felt his fingers slide from her perfect skin, his nails suddenly catching and ripping it open. Soft yet jagged lines of bright, rosy blood marred the perfection. Nyx frowned at the irrelevant wound, and willed it to close instantly. Her blood, sadly, couldn't be returned to her veins once lost. When she looked up, she saw both Myrnin's and Amelie's gaze fixated on the spilled blood. She felt a shiver run along her spine, and scowled at them both. ''Please. You two look like children who have just spotted a stray kitten.''
''I was never fond of cats,'' piped up Myrnin, grudgingly snapping out of his trance-like state.
''Oh, does it matter?'' she sighed, then put on the coat she'd been holding since she arrived. It hugged her figure and swept around her, light yet heavy and absolutely wickedly beautiful. It was like her baby - velvet from the 12th century was extremely rare and priceless. She sighed softly, happily, glad to be in its embrace, and leaned a hip against the side of a lab table. ''Anyway, the point is why I accepted to come to Morganville when you stated what was happening.''
''Which is?'' they both asked in sync, Myrnin teetering over hysterically excited and dead solemn, and Amelie - remote yet distantly eager. Nyx smiled, a humorous quirk of her lips. ''I can assist the growing issue of young vampires being inexcusably weak.''
''You have not explained why you so graciously accepted the invite,'' snapped Amelie, showing how low her tolerance for playing was. Nyx simply rose an eyebrow, the smile still firmly in place.
''I know what's happening to the vampires - and even better; I know why.''

The Answers in Genesis Creation Museum opened in May of 2007. During the opening day, a loosely affiliated group of scientists joined in a Rally for Reason as they termed it to protest the museum's potential effect on science in the United States. This paper discusses ethnographic data collected before and during the rally. Scientist narratives disclose the rationale for their participation at the rally, unpacking their hopes, fears and social ideals vis-à-vis their perception of the Museum's impact. With these ideals, I discuss the lacking discourse between the values of ideal of science literacy, the contested authority of museums and their publics, and a lacking conception of how a valuerationality aligned towards the Museum's message continues to be culturally produced.

Chapter Six
Chapter Six.
'You don't have to lie to me, you know.' Alexander said, sitting down opposite Grace. They had finished the tour of the halls and were now being given free taster foods at the canteen. Grace's plate was piled high with cakes.
Grace looked at him in confusion, 'excuse me?'
'The entire time we were walking around you kept talking about bands you liked and stuff,' Alex shrugged, 'you didn't really look like you were that interested despite how much you talked about them.'
'I do like those bands, I've been listening to them since-'
'Since you were thirteen?' The boy interrupted her, looking at her with calculating eyes.
She glared at him, 'since I was ten, actually.'
He snorted, stabbing a piece of pasta with his fork. He waved it around, looking at it as he did, 'you may have, but you didn't. I don't get why you try so hard to pretend.'
Something inside Grace's mind snapped with annoyance, 'look, I don't even know you! Can you please stop talking to me like that, it's kind of rude.'
'Yeah, maybe. But I know you.' He smirked, but he said the words in such a way that it ended the conversation between them. Alexander began to eat, not bothering to look back towards Grace. She scooped up some of her strawberry tart angrily, and she caught him chuckling at her while she ate.
There was something about Alexander Cain which Grace found incredibly infuriating. Maybe it was just her getting used to people she once knew being polite to her after they found out she suffered from amnesia. She shouldn't have let herself get too comfortable with the idea people were automatically going to be nice to her. Even so, he could a least have the decency to talk to her with a little more formality.
'You're fifteen now, right?' Alexander suddenly asked, looking at her intently.
He whistled through his teeth, 'time sure flies.'
'I wouldn't know.' She retorted.
Alexander chuckled again before delving back into his plate of pasta bake.
'What's so funny?' Grace asked, irritated.
'It's just you, I like you better than before.' He smiled, his eyes crinkling up at the corners fondly like her older brother's did sometimes when he was reminiscing about the past.
'Was I like before?' She inquired curiously. Grace put down her fork, wiped her mouth with the little blue napkin then placed her hands in her lap, staring at her childhood friend patiently.
'Annoying!' He said happily, which implied she couldn't have been that bad, 'because you were younger then, and I was a little older you looked up to me as you would with David. Except I was more of a friend than a brother. I've known you since I was five and you were three but we moved away when I was twelve - I've not seen you or your family since then.'
'I see.' Grace said thoughtfully, 'I don't know why they never talked about you guys before.'
'Your parents probably didn't want to bombard you with too many people at once,' Alexander shrugged, 'we're moving back into your neighbourhood now so we'll probably be seeing a lot more of each other.'
'You're moving back? Why?'
'Dad's job.' He replied shortly and Grace got the idea it wasn't something he wanted to talk about.
'So... you're seventeen? Will you be going to the college or sixth form?' Grace asked, genuinely interested.
'College, as if I'd go to a sixth form with a dress code.' Alexander shuddered and the girl opposite laughed.
'Well. At least things might get more interesting with you around.'
