Samantha's Reviews > Changeless
Changeless (Parasol Protectorate, #2)
by Gail Carriger (Goodreads Author)
by Gail Carriger (Goodreads Author)
A good sequel to Soulless. However this one didn't engage me as much the first book. There were parts were the story seemed to drag a bit. Also, I hate cliff hangers and this book has one hell of an ending. I also didn't like the lack of communication that Alexia and Woolsey have in this book. It seemed like every couple of pages Alexia was chastising her husband because he failed to tell her something about either his past or their present situation. Despite this, these books are turning out to be a lot of fun. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

strike (love)
This morning at around 3am, the MTA went on strike. All subway and bus lines were shut down. Traffic restrictions limited vehicles into Manhattan, mandating that each vehicle have at least four people in it before entering the city. Seven million New Yorkers needed to find an alternate way to get to work this morning. I mean, fuck.
This was originally supposed to happen last Friday, and so I was indifferent about it. I only really have to leave the house the one day a week that I work - Tuesday. Otherwise, I'm content to sit at home. Everything I need in my life is within walking distance of my apartment: food, booze, chaffy handjobs from Chinese immigrants who don't have all their teeth but really know how to handle a bird, etc. I figured that the strike would happen on Friday but then would be resolved by the time the next Tuesday rolled around, when I had to go to work. Once again, I escape unscathed.
Of course, the strike was delayed until today, and my ass had to walk to work in the cold weather (wind chill: 19º). Fortunately, I live only about a twenty-five minute walk to work. Not great, but it could have been much, much worse. So I tried to maintain a positive attitude (hey, I only work one day a week) and took the transit strike for what it's worth: an opportunity to show up egregiously late to work.
When I strolled in forty-five minutes late this morning, I was the last person in my department to do so. Because I really don't pay attention to most of the emails I get at work that aren't from my friends, I didn't notice that my firm (which is even more prestigious than Opinionista's) had developed a balls-out contingency plan. Busses were dispatched to all five boroughs, operating every half hour with multiple stops, making it very convenient for my co-workers to get to work. I even heard one co-worker say that because of the firm's efforts, his commute was actually better than normal. But like I said, I didn't read these emails because I figured that the strike would be resolved by today and if not, I'd just walk anyway. And come in really, really late.
Yet everyone else was here on time, if not earlier. They woke up early, waited for firm busses, and made it to work to do their job. Meanwhile, I woke up late, took an extra long shower, ate TWO bowls of cereal, and stopped off at the Starbucks just outside my office for a leisurely hot chocolate, taking my time and listening to my iPod the whole way, occasionally stopping to window shop. I could almost imagine my two bosses watching me dilly-dally around the building from their office window:
Boss 1: "There's Jason. And he's going into Starbucks."
[twelve minutes later]
Boss 2: "Look - he just came out."
B1: "And he sure is taking his sweet time to get to the building."
B2: "Look Ted - he appears to be arguing with that homeless woman."
B1: "HOLY GEEZ! He just threw his coffee in her face!"
B2: "And now they're fighting!"
[Boss 1 and Boss 2 watch in shocked silence as Jason and the Homeless Woman begin to tussle. It appears that Jason has the upper hand, but soon the Homeless Woman starts getting the best of him with a series of swift headbutts. Jason responds in kind.]
B1: "Good lord! He's really fighting dirty!"
B2: "I've never seen such gratuitous use of teeth and elbows!"
B1: "Oh wait - here comes the police to break things up."
[Both bosses watch as the police separate the two combatants. Jason, the more cantankerous of the two, is sprayed with mace. Homeless Woman laughs and claps her hands as Jason writhes in pain, first against a car, and then on the ground. After getting an emergency radio call, the two police officers flee the scene.]
B1: "Well I'm glad that's over with. I need him here today, because I need him to [some business related task that Jason surely doesn't understand]."
B2: "Check it out - Jason and the homeless woman are shaking hands."
[Jason and Homeless Woman begrudgingly shake hands.]
B1: "That's always good to see. Even though it wasn't a fair fight, at least it's ending well."
[Boss 1 moves away from the window, thinking the matter is over.]
B2: "Oh no, Ted. You gotta see this!"
B1: "What is it, Max?"
B2: "Jason is...Jason and the homeless woman are kissing."
[Cut to view of street below. Jason and the Homeless Woman are kissing - not lustily, but rather softly, delicately, staring into each other's eyes. Both start crying.]
B1: "Hmph. I thought he was gay."
B2: "I was pretty sure he was gay."
B1: "Well, I guess the strike makes people do crazy things."
[Both sip their coffee in silence, watching from the window while Jason and the Homeless Woman affectionately kiss and giggle like seventh graders. Some tickling is involved, and possibly baby talk. Six seconds pass.]
B1: "Well, back to work."
B2: "Yep."
[I don't really know where to go from here, so I'm just going to end it. Kinda got away from me there. Oh well.]

Vaginal Rejuvination and Labiaplasty
Vaginal Rejuvenation is a broad term that references any of several procedures that are used to enhance the vaginal area. The most common of these procedures is the Labiaplasty, a surgical procedure that will reduce and/or reshape the skin that covers the female clitoris and vaginal opening (labia minora). In some instances, women with large labia can experience pain during intercourse, or feel discomfort during everyday activities or may simply wish to improve the overall appearance of their genital area. The other procedure commonly done is fat transfer to the area, specifically the labia majora. This can be done to enhance the labia majora when the area becomes deflated with age or after pregnancy.

A malicious program attached to seemingly innocuous e-mails was spreading quickly over the Internet, clogging network traffic and potentially leaving hackers an open door to infected personal computers.
The worm, called "Mydoom" or "Novarg" by antivirus companies, usually appears to be an e-mail error message. A small file is attached that, when launched on computers running Microsoft's Windows operating systems, can send out 100 infected e-mail messages in 30 seconds to e-mail addresses stored in the computer's address book and other documents.
The attack was first noticed yesterday afternoon. Within hours, thousands of e-mails were clogging networks, said Vincent Gullotto, vice president of Network Associates' antivirus emergency response team.
Besides sending out e-mail, the program appears to open up a backdoor so that hackers can take over the computer later.
"As far as I can tell right now, it's pretty much everywhere on the planet," Gullotto said.
Security software experts were scrambling to decrypt the details of the malicious program and were arriving at different conclusions.
Symantec, an antivirus company, said the worm appeared to contain a program that logs keystrokes on infected machines. It could collect username and passwords of unsuspecting users and distribute them to strangers.
Network Associates did not find the keylogging program.
Symantec also found code that appeared to target The SCO Group Inc., which claims some of its intellectual property has ended up in the Linux operating system and is threatening lawsuits. SCO's Web site, which has been targeted in the past, was available but sluggish late on Monday. Other firms, however, could not confirm that aspect of the attack.
The computer security firm Central Command confirmed 3,800 infections within 45 minutes of initial discovery.
"This has all the characteristics of being the next big one," said Steven Sundermeier, Central Command's vice president of products and services.
It appeared to first target large companies in the United States - and their large address books - but quickly spread internationally, said David Perry, global director of education at the antivirus software firm Trend Micro.
Unlike other mass-mailing worms, Mydoom does not attempt to trick victims by promising nude pictures of celebrities or mimicking personal notes. Instead, one of its messages reads: "The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment."
"Because that sounds like a technical thing, people may be more apt to think it's legitimate and click on it," said Steve Trilling, Symantec's senior director of research.
Subject lines also vary. The attachments have ".exe," ".scr," ".cmd" or ".pif" extensions, and may be compressed as a Zip file.
Microsoft offers a patch of its Outlook e-mail software to warn users before they open such attachments or prevent them from opening them altogether. Antivirus software also stops infection.
Christopher Budd, a security program manager with Microsoft, said the worm does not appear to take advantage of any Microsoft product vulnerability.
"This is entirely a case of what we would call social engineering - enticing users to take actions that are not in their best interest," he said.
He said the software giant was working with other companies to learn more about the worm, but that, as of yet, the information about the worm was still "very spotty." The Redmond, Washington-based company was encouraging users to take precautions such as using an Internet firewall and using up-to-date antivirus software.
Mydoom isn't the first mass-mailing virus of the year. Earlier this month, a worm called "Bagle" infected computers but seemed to die out quickly. So far, it's too early to say whether Mydoom will continue to be a problem or peter out, experts said.
"Over the next 24 to 48 hours, we'll have a much better sense," Trilling said. "Right now, the trend is only up."

by Matt Wyers
Earlier this week I began a series that I hope will be helpful to all of you. It is a general rebuttal to the idea that Socialism is a perfectly acceptable form of government. I hope to establish in detail all the reasons why I believe Socialism is a bad thing and why a Capitalist system is the best economic system yet devised by man. If you missed Part 1 then click here to read it.
I promised you last time that I would discuss in greater depth the role of Christian morality in society and how this relates to Socialism. So today I want to delve into the idea that some possess that the principles of Socialism are not only compatible with Christian teaching, but are commanded to one degree or another. I believe that is a complete fallacy.
Many good heart-ed people have fallen into the trap of believing that Socialism is essentially a political philosophy of helping poor people. And helping poor people is good, right? Well, of course it is, but that does not mean that any idea of how to go about helping poor people is an effective one or a moral one for that matter. In order to understand what exactly a Socialist system means to do for the poor you must first understand the definition of Socialism. I covered that definition in Part 1 so please read it if you have not already.
In short, Socialism does not help poor people. It never has and despite what some Leftist Utopians might tell you, it has no potential to ever accomplish that. Socialism is about "leveling the playing field" and in the mind of the Leftist this means ensuring that outcomes, financial or otherwise, are equal for everyone. The theory goes that there is only so much wealth in the world and the most fair system is the one that distributes it evenly. Well, right off the bat there is a fatal flaw in that thinking. There is no zero-sum game in the world of economics.
The idea of a zero-sum game is that in any given situation a participant's gain or loss of a particular resource is balanced by the gain or loss of all other participants. At the end of the game you add all the gains and subtract all the losses and the sum comes to zero. To use an illustration, a person who slices off a large piece of cake from a newly baked dessert is leaving less cake for anyone else that might come along and want some. Makes perfect sense, right? And Conservatives are known for recognizing the scarcity of resources in the world so this concept should make sense to everyone, right? Wrong.
We covered the idea last time that wealth is not static. In other words, it can grow or it can shrink. Whether it grows or whether it shrinks is dependent upon numerous factors. The world economy is hopelessly complex though and predicting every ebb and flow based on the habits and resources of 7 billion people, hundreds of nations and states, and any other political factors that effect the economy is impossible. We know that the overall amount of wealth has grown though because despite the huge increases in population the poorest of the poor are not any worse off than they have ever been. In contrast, personal wealth for many around the globe is higher than it has ever been and for larger numbers of the population than has ever possessed it. So the idea that the pie is only so big and so that distributing wealth evenly is the only way to make sure everyone has enough is patently false.
Likely though, the Socialist will not stop there. Even if the pie is growing, they might say, then surely we must admit that for some individuals to have so much more than others is unjust, right? And the idea that we should all pool our resources to insure that no one is poor is a Biblical one, right? Did not the 1st century Christians practice Socialism? No, they did not.
This grave misconception typically originates from a serious misinterpretation of Acts 4:32-37. A portion of that passage is below:
Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. Acts 4:32-35
I am surprised by how many people, who say they are Christians, mistake these verses for a 1st century blessing of Socialism. I believe it is a case of reinterpreting the Bible through the lens of modern political thought. Remembering that Socialism is an off-shoot of Communism, we have to look at when this political theory was introduced. Karl Marx did not publish his Communist Manifesto until 1848 and the resulting popularization of his concepts of fairness and economic "equality" did not really enter the mainstream of American thought until the latter half of the 20th century.
Although communes to one degree or another had existed on small scales for hundreds of years before Marx, the idea of pooling resources for both public benefit and to insure equal outcomes was never passed down through the centuries by churches. People nowadays have become accustomed to the idea of pooling resources on a large scale with the power of government behind all this alleged benevolence and so when they read Bible verses that talk about sharing and providing for each others' needs they naturally connect the two. The problem, of course, is that the passage is taken out of context and is divorced from numerous other Biblical teachings in both the New and Old Testaments. I would prefer to allow the writers of the Bible to interpret what Christian charity means rather than Karl Marx. So with that in mind there are a few other passages I would like to look at.
I believe we can find some insight into a more balanced teaching by examining 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15. The key verse there is #10 and it is below:
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10
That is strong language there, but it is Biblical language. It is also antithetical to the idea that as Christians we are to set up a bureaucratic system that provides for every conceivable need of every person in the society. Let us contrast these two passages and view them in light of the true definition of Socialism.
The passage from Acts 4 has to be taken for what it is; a description of how early Christians were conducting themselves among each other in Jerusalem shortly after the foundation of the church itself. There are numerous differences between what is depicted here and what is advocated for in Socialist systems.
1. There is no command here from God or even a suggestion from the author that this is the preferred way for Christians to live. The book of Acts is primarily a history book and not a doctrinal book anyway.
2. This is purely a faith-based order that was set up. The apostles were the appointed leaders of the early church. The apostles, however, were not government officials. Rather they were appointed by Christ Himself. They were not elected. They were not paid. They were simply given authority over the church as it existed at that time.
3. It was a purely voluntary social order. You will notice that the "possessors of lands" who were mentioned sold their properties. These properties were not forcefully taken from them by a government, or anyone for that matter, that believed it could better distribute wealth and the means of production for common benefit.
I also feel the need to mention a few verses from Acts 5, the chapter that immediately follows the passage I quoted above. Let us examine those as well:
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostle's feet. But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God. Acts 5:1-4
You will notice here that Peter, the chief among the apostles, rebukes Ananias not for withholding a portion of the proceeds from the land he sold but for lying and saying that he had brought the full price to the apostles. Ananias and his wife were liars trying to obtain personal glory for appearing to be more charitable than they really were. That is a great spiritual lesson in and of itself, but I wanted to bring your attention to Peter's rebuke. He stated plainly that what Ananias owned belonged to him and that he did not have to sell it. Peter followed that up by saying the money Ananias received for the sale also belonged to him. If he wished to give a portion of it and withhold the rest for himself then it was within his right to do so.
I hope you see the stark contrast between the life that the early church was living in comparison to the Socialist philosophy that seeks to strip away any notion of privately owned property.
4. This difference may be the greatest of them all for the concern of this discussion. The system that the early church lived under was not a political system in the least. There is no call from Jesus or the early church leaders that this sort of system should have been employed for the entire province or for the entire Roman Empire. That concept is completely absent from Scripture in every way.
The early Christians took care of each other. They were not given the task of extrapolating this sort of loving, supporting order out to include anyone and everyone in the society. As we covered in Part 1, the only entity capable of forcing that sort of system upon the populace is the government. Unless you want to advocate for the church(and which church would it be?) to take over preeminence in the society and become the government itself in order to start distributing the wealth then it is obvious that any Socialist system you want is not given any sort of precedence in the Bible.
5. This difference piggybacks off the third and fourth. You will also notice that all giving in this system was of a purely private nature. There was no government enforcement behind it. There was no government bureaucracy to administer it. And while the Bible clearly talks regularly about giving to the poor, it always speaks of it as a personal matter. The Bible commands individuals, not governments, to sacrifice of themselves and help others.
There is very little accountability when a government entity that has to treat everyone equal under the law is tasked with arbitrarily defining qualifications and then arbitrarily dispensing resources. I am not arguing against the idea of all citizens being treated equally under the law. That is a very good thing when it comes to doling out punishments. It is a horrible thing though when it comes to deciding what sort of standard of living a person should have and how to go about insuring that standard becomes reality.
There is no room for merit in that sort of system. There is no incentive within a bureaucracy to refrain from helping what 2nd Thessalonians referred to as those who do not wish to work. In short, there is no discretion.
What individuals or private agencies have as their greatest tool is the ability to discern what is truly necessary giving and what is not. They have the ability to discern what is truly necessary spending and what is not. They are not bound by arbitrary rules and regulations but rather motivated by good will, love, and selflessness. They are not trying to cash a paycheck at the end of the week nor are they trying to garner votes for their next election. They do it because they want to do it and the record bares out that private charities are far more efficient and far more effective at actually helping the poor.
I just realized that everything I wanted to say in this piece cannot be written here. It would be too long so I will save the conclusion of this article's themes for Part 3. Stay tuned for that in the next few days.

Credit never came!
We cancelled our gap insurance way back in January 2018. It is now May 2017 and we have yet to see the credit in the account. I have called Toyota Financials every 2 weeks for the last 4 months and everytime I called they say they have to go back to the gap insurance division and find out where the check went. The gap insurance dept has acknowledged that the check has already been cashed but no one seems to be able to trace where it is and so no one can give us the credit. In the meantime, us the consumer is that it is being looked at and should be reflected in the account in 7-10 days and 2 weeks pass, it is still not in our account and I get to call again and go through the same routine. Been doing this for 4 months and still waiting. There has to be something that can be done with this.

Before you jump into the process of starting your new business, there are some things that you absolutely should know and critical factors to which you must pay attention. You must be familiar with the steps to take to start strong and finish first and the order in which they should be taken. You can use the information presented here as a checklist so that you'll be on the right track for a successful business that reaches all of the goals that you have in mind. Let's take a look at the list of tips you'll need to be a successful entrepreneur.
Study the Market
Is there a real need for the business that you have in mind? You may think that you'll be successful and that engaging in the process of starting your own company will be easy but before you open the doors you must know if there is a market for the goods or services that you want to provide. You may have a great deal of experience in the niche that you want to enter with your own business venture but having a clear vision, a solid business plan, and a commitment to stick to it are essential to your success.
Have Some Cash
Cash is the heartbeat of any company and you must have a positive cash flow to be successful and enjoy profits. You must find a plethora of ways to have cash flow immediately and to keep money in your coffers to pay your own bills in a timely fashion. Remember that your business reputation rests upon the way that your credit is viewed in the marketplace; this is why it's imperative that you meet your financial obligations on time every time.
Overestimate Your Outgoings and Underestimate Your Income
To play the numbers game of running a business it's much better to overestimate your expenses and underestimate your revenues. Try to keep your expenditures low and conserve funding when you can; this gives you more money with which to run your business and helps you to operate when emergencies and disasters strike unexpectedly. There are a plethora of simple ways to keep your costs down; sharing these tips with your employees puts everyone working from the same script toward savings for the company.
Ask for Help
You can never know all of the answers to running your own business and asking for help is the perfect way to keep from reinventing the wheel. Whether you're starting a recruitment agency, outsourcing your payroll, or seeking help with cash flow, getting assistance from a team of professionals can provide you with an immediate solution to your business needs. Gathering knowledge is an excellent way to find the information that you need from experts that you can trust. If you visit the website http://www.startupsimply.co.uk you'll be able to take advantage of information gained by experts over a number of years; this helps you find an answer to your needs faster and more efficiently.
If you want to start strong and finish first, be sure to take the right steps in the correct order and ask for professional assistance when you need it.

Kobe Paras 'Potentially an NBA prospect' says Draft scouting website
After his performance at the 2015 Adidas Global Nations camp (WATCH KOBE PARAS HIGHLIGHT VIDEOS HERE), Kobe Paras captured the eye of a NBA scouting website as one of the top wing prospects for high school classes 2016 and 2017.
Mike Schmitz, a video scout for Draft Express, included the 17-year-old Filipino cager as one of the standouts during the training camp.
In his scouting report, Schmitz noted Paras' his 6-foot-7 frame and sweet shooting stroke as two of his strengths as a budding basketball player.
In 21 Adidas event games, the son of PBA legend Benjie Paras shot 37 percent from deep and 71 percent from the free throw line.
The scout also saw the younger Paras' potential to be a "versatile all-around player," as he also has the athleticism to jam the ball hard at the basket.
"He has the physical profile, athleticism and shooting ability of a high-major wing, and potentially a NBA prospect," Schmitz said.
He added, however, that Paras has to improve on his team play, ball handling, physical toughness, and defense.
"[He is an] average passer who has room to improve on his feel for the game," he said. "Almost always looking to score. Loves to isolate and force up off balance jumpers."
Paras, who moved to the US two years ago to pursue his NBA dream, currently attends Los Angeles Cathedral and has committed to play for the UCLA Bruins.
Schmitz warned that Bruins coach Steve Alford could grow strict toward the teen due to his habits, but said that Paras could go a long way if he learns to be a team player.
"He has a chance to be a high-level player in the Pac-12 and set himself up for a successful future beyond the college ranks, possibly in the NBA depending on how his skill-set evolves," he said.

The search for the next superintendent of McCracken County Schools has been underway more than a month, and the screening committee is narrowing down the list of candidates.
Butch Canty, a Kentucky School Board Association consultant, said the screening committee received 20 applications before the cutoff date, five of which were incomplete and had to be discarded.
Of the 15 valid applicants, 13 were men and two were women. Seven were currently superintendents. Five were central office employees. Two were principals, and one was of "an educational organization."
Fourteen of the applicants were from Kentucky.
Canty said there has been a lot of turnover in the superintendent market across Kentucky the past four years.
McCracken had a healthy number of applicants, Canty said. "You had 15, and compared to other searches that I'm doing, that's a good number, a healthy number."
The screening committee is still narrowing down the candidates based on criteria set by the board and hasn't reached the point of three to five finalists.
The committee should soon finish screening the applicants -- a process that looks at a candidate's professional experience through a paper screening, then "everything on the internet that we possibly can find out about our candidates. We're in the process right now of reference checking," Canty said.
Once the board is satisfied with the three to five candidates chosen by the screening committee, interviews will be scheduled.
Canty will work with the board to develop interview questions and keep them the same for all candidates.
"You want to make sure you're comparing apples to apples," he said.
Canty said a decision should be reached by the middle of May, and the new superintendent will then be announced.
Current superintendent Quin Sutton's contract will end June 30, and the next superintendent will begin July 1.
The screening committee consists of two teachers, Crystal Culp of McCracken Regional School and Lori Hyde of Lone Oak Middle School; one board member, Steve Shelby; one principal, Brent Buchanan of Lone Oak Middle School; one parent, Dan Pope; one classified employee, Larry Zacheretti; and one minority representative, Cheryl Moore.

No, this isn't digital. Filmed by documentary filmmaker Francis Chee, this amazing video captures the microscopic view of a frog egg as it begins to divide from two cells into millions over a period of about 33 hours. It's astounding to think that each and every one of us started off just like this. (via Sploid)
Seeking a way to reduce waste as part of their industrial design practice, South Korean design studio HATTERN conceived of a hybrid resin and wood seating concept called Zero Per Stool. As part of the construction process the waste offcut from creating the legs are saved and then combined with resin to form the stool's seat. The resulting objects have almost zero waste and appear visually unique from piece to piece—each stool subtly paying tribute to its own construction process. HATTERN also adopted the same process for a series of resin coasters that make use of scrap wood materials. You can follow more of their recent work on Facebook. (via Design Milk)
Smithsonian just released the 70 finalists for their 14th annual photo contest and is currently accepting votes for their Readers' Choice award. This year Smithsonian received some 48,000 submissions from photographers in 146 countries and territories from which they selected finalists in 7 categories: Natural World, The American Experience, Travel, People, Altered Images, Mobile, and Sustainable Travel. Selected here are some of our favorites, but you can see the rest and vote for your favs on their website.
Jennifer Bolande's work Visible Distance / Second Sight, is not one that you stop your car at and observe, in fact, its not one that even requires slowing to admire. The several billboard installation stretches alongside the Gene Autry Trail and Vista Chino in California, bordering the roads with scenic images of the same mountains that peak out behind each piece. In some instances the images match perfectly with the surrounding range, creating an alignment of fabricated reality while one zooms past the display.
Similar to artist Brian Kane's billboard displays of forests and galaxies in Massachusetts in the summer of 2015, Bolande's work calls attention to nature in a ceaseless vacuum of pushy advertising. By placing images of the environment beside the roadway Bolande hopes to point passersby back to the landscape itself.
The piece is part of the exhibition Desert X which also features Doug Aitken's mirror-covered house. The exhibition runs through April 30, 2017, and you can see a full schedule of tours and events on their website. (via Designboom)
Mexican designer Moisés Hernández brings his distinct flare for minimalism to this new series of avian sculptures titled Immersed Birds. Each piece is a continuous wooden object milled with CNC technology which is then dipped into a carefully considered sequence of watercolors. The overlaying hues mimic the plumage of a toucan, hummingbird, and Mexican quetzal. You can see more of Hernández's work on Instagram. (via Booooooom)

Sean Kingston ft. Plies - Me Love (Remix)
By DJ Z | 9 years ago
Artist: Sean Kingston
Track: Me Love (Remix) ft. Plies
Feat. Plies
Producer: JR Rotem
Album: Sean Kingston
UPDATE: "Me Love (Remix)" is no longer available to stream.
Sean Kingston and the man behind his fame, producer Jonathan "JR" Rotem, were shocked at how fast Beautiful Girls became a national pop sensation. So, as the old adage goes: If it isn't broke, don't try to fix it. Sean's second single, Me Love, once again has an easy-to-sing-along chorus and that keen ability to have listeners humming the notes sometime later in their day. For the remix Kingston scooped up rapper Plies, who similar to himself, was shocked at the popularity he gained from his debut single, Shawty. Kingston's self-titled debut album is currently in stores.

Who should attend
Training is flexible and open to everyone.
AAT enables you to choose how, when and where you study.
You may be heading for your first job in accounting and finance, seeking a change of career, or already work in the industry.
Programme Description
The purpose of this qualification is to provide the learner with the skills, competence, knowledge and understanding to become an accounting technician.
The AAT suite of qualifications comprises 3 levels i.e. Level 3, 4 and 5. The course provider undertakes an initial assessment to determine at which stage of the qualification the learner should start. This involves examining their previous learning and current skills in accounting.
Those with some accounting experience may start at the level 4 qualification. Rarely, someone very experienced in accounting might start at the final level: 5. The AAT provides an online tool to help providers assess the right starting point for each learner.
The final level, higher level covers accounting tasks, including drafting financial statements, managing budgets and evaluating financial performance. You'll also have the opportunity to specialise in areas from tax to auditing and credit control.
A perfect progression if you've already completed Levels 3 and 4, or you're at a more advanced stage in your career and want a qualification to give you the confidence and proof that you have the skills to do the job.
Once you've achieved this level, you'll be the proud owner of the AAT(SA) Accounting Qualification. With evidence of one year's past relevant work experience – attained while you were training maybe – you'll be able to apply to become a Platinum member of AAT(SA) and use the letters MAAT(SA) after your name.
Programme Outcomes
- Manage people within the accounting environment.
- Prepare forecasts and budgets
- Collect, analyse and disseminate information about costs
- Monitor performance and make recommendations to enhance value
- Understand the principles of internal control and evaluate accounting systems
- Apply general principles and behaviours of ethical working in accountancy
- Review the competence of individuals undertaking work activities and arrange the necessary training.
- Prepare, in collaboration with management, contingency plans to meet possible emergencies. Update the system in accordance with changes that affect the way the system should operate and check that your update is producing the required results.
- Draft and interpret limited company financial statements
- Draft and interpret departmental revenue and expenditure reports
- Draft and interpret local government financial statements
Topics covered
AAT(SA) Qualifications in Accounting NQF level 5 –the structure of the qualification
Level 5 Certificate: Accounting NQF level 5 (Mandatory units and 2 optional pairs)
(locally assessed by centre)
1 All AAT assessments will be delivered using current and/or emerging computer-based technologies. Please also note that it is the AAT's aim to develop alternative assessments so the form of assessment delivered in year 1 may not be the same form of assessments we use in year 2, 3, 4 or 5. We are aware that the infrastructure outside the UK varies and not all countries will immediately be able to adopt computer-based assessments (CBA). So outside the UK, the assessment strategy in the short-term will be different to the UK with regard the use of formal CBAs.

When you travel to a south east Asian country, you expect a frantic situation with the local taxi drivers. Standard procedure. In Bali, we came across some dodgy taxi drivers! You are outside… Lets say 50-100 taxi drivers pulling out of you and shouting at you –
Where you go? Special price.. You come now!…
I always laugh at this and just bull through them until I am away from the crowd. For you see, I am a bit of a research freak before I travel anywhere. Believe me, I will know the fare from Denpasar Airport to the Patra Hotel and Kuta, long before we boarded a plane to Bali.
Ngurah Rai Airport Taxi is the only company which has the monopoly to bring tourists out of the airport. No other taxi company is allowed to have a service counter in the airport.
When we booked the hotel, there was a complimentary taxi, so I told him to wait outside in an email and there he was. He was friendly man and did his job 100%…
Once unpacked and ready to see the sizzling sights of Bali's underbelly, we had the hotel ring us a taxi and asked how much it should be and was told 25,000 IDR – $2.50 US.
We got in to town, and sure enough the after was 23,000 IDR and we gave him 30K – Cool, $3 for a 10 minute ride.
The night consisted of a few drinks, dinner and back to the hotel. We were all joking and chatting about what we planed on doing when we came to our destination. Only this time the fare had somehow miraculously jumped up to 150,000 IDR – $15 US. My friend and I laughed pretty hard at the taxi mans feeble attempt to scam us out of our cash. I don't know what he thought but we didn't come down in the last rain shower.
We handed him 25,000 IDR and tried to get out of the car. Locked. . .
Now if you were in a dodgy part of town in a country you had only just landed into you might be inclined to pay and be on your way. If you felt unsafe that is.
But there were 6 of us, 3 couples and we were parked in the drop off area of a 5 star hotel!. How did the man think this was going to go his way!?… So we just started shouting at the reception staff and banging on the windows. The taxi driver was livid at this stage, demanding 100,000 at least for the ride. For his dirty trick, we stuck with the 25,000 IDR and hopped out.
Over the course of the 4 nights, every single taxi tried to rip us with one even going for a whopping 240,000 IDR with a meter! Each time we just hailed the staff and it was sorted. Respect to them, as they always told him to stop being a rip off and drive away.
Keep spare change handy. Drivers often claim not to have any change for the fare, so they can then pocket the excess.
I am aware that most people that stay at the Patra in Bali and probably rich and gullible and not cheapskate Irish who will argue over a dollar if you try to take it by some sneaky means. Don't get me wrong, I am a good tipper if the service is good, but something inside me just hates it when someone rips you off intentionally.

LESS than three weeks on the job as the new United States Attorney in Connecticut, Kevin J. O'Connor already sounds like an old hand, projecting an aura of reverence for the power of his office and an unequivocal faith in his 109 staff members in New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford.
Keeping terrorism at bay and collaring corporate criminals are the top priorities for the 35-year-old Mr. O'Connor, whose reputation for perfection and dogged determination will be put to the test.
Mr. O'Connor's boss, Attorney General John Ashcroft, made it clear terrorism would be the first concern of the federal office. The second concern stems from Mr. O'Connor's background as a lawyer for the Securities and Exchange Commission and dovetails with the current rash of white-collar scandals.
As one of 93 United States Attorneys, Mr. O'Connor will preside over the prosecution of federal crimes in Connecticut, which also include firearms, narcotics, money laundering, child pornography and fraud.Continue reading the main story
His office also defends civil cases brought against the United States, sues for money owed to the federal government and seeks restitution owed by criminals to their victims.
Mr. O'Connor, who has the physical stature of the former lacrosse player he was at the University of Notre Dame, takes none of this in stride. He described himself as being humbled by the power of the office and awestruck by the task ahead of him. Yet by his own account and the testimony of colleagues, Mr. O'Connor goes full tilt toward a challenge.
When he talks of signing an indictment that will not simply take away a person's wealth but also bind one's personal freedom, he does so with gravitas.
''That to me is a very, very sacred trust,'' he said. ''The impact of my actions are greater than they ever were in private practice.''
Mr. O'Connor grew up in a working class family in West Hartford, a few blocks from where he now lives. His wife, Kathleen, was a lawyer in the Rowland administration before deciding to stay home with the couple's two daughters, who are ages 20 months and five months.
Once appointed United States Attorney, Mr. O'Connor stepped down from a dozen civic commitments to spend more time at home.
After graduating from the University of Connecticut School of Law in 1992 where he was an editor of the Law Review, he was a clerk for a federal judge for two years before joining a New York firm, Cahill Gordon & Reindel. He left the firm, however, when the lure of another interest was too great.
''I love public service,'' he said.
His first high-profile crack at public service came in 1998 when he ran for the First District Congressional seat against a well-known incumbent, John B. Larson. Mr. O'Connor lost, but not before gaining the endorsement of The Hartford Courant and stump support from Republican luminaries like Jack Kemp.
Last spring, while working as a lawyer at Day, Berry & Howard, the Hartford firm he joined in 1999, Mr. O'Connor was tapped as a nominee for the position of United States Attorney.
After interviewing with a panel of lawyers in Washington and undergoing an extensive background check by the F.B.I., the appointment was announced. His formal swearing in will be in January, although he has had two smaller investitures that placed him on the job at the end of November.
David J. Elliott, a lawyer with Day, Berry & Howard, described Mr. O'Connor as ''diligent, focused and knowing.''
''He has an ability to sort through problems very carefully,'' Mr. Elliott said. ''He doesn't shoot from the hip.''
True to his diligent nature, Mr. O'Connor interviewed a handful of his predecessors before arriving on the job, gathering tips on how best to direct the staff and keep a positive friction between the local, state and federal agencies.
One of his predecessors, Stanley A. Twardy Jr., who served from 1985 to 1991, knew Mr. O'Connor as a colleague at Day, Berry & Howard, where the young lawyer's reputation as being scholarly yet personable, preceded him.
Mr. Twardy said that leading the federal office is a challenge.
''You have to deal with drug dealers, mobsters, corrupt politicians, program fraud, bank fraud and somehow allocate resources to fit every variety of needs,'' he said.
But given Mr. O'Connor's S.E.C. background and what Mr. Twardy described as a stellar support staff, he should succeed.
''At the end of the day, you're only as good at the office behind you,'' Mr. Twardy said. ''In Kevin's case, he's like Joe Torre with the Yankees.''
Sounding a bit like a Mets fan was Norman Pattis, a New Haven lawyer who castigated Mr. O'Connor this autumn in a column in the Connecticut Law Tribune, deeming him an ''empty suit,'' who had jumped around to various law firms, never tried a case and whose only real qualification for the job was partisan politics.
''Ask him if he's tried a case,'' Mr. Pattis said.
When asked, Mr. O'Connor said: ''I've tried cases. I haven't tried a lot of cases. I saw the column and I thought it was a bit mean-spirited but that goes with the job.''
He contends his moves from Cahill to the S.E.C. to a short stint at LaBoeuf, Lamb, Greene and MacRae, to town attorney in West Hartford to Day, Berry & Howard had more to do with finding work closer to his hometown than with an inability to hold a job for more than two years at a time.
While the United States Attorney can try cases, very few do because the job requires supervising a staff of 60 lawyers and coordinating efforts of the office with agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco and state and local police.
Mr. O'Connor's immediate predecessor was John A. Danaher III, who served as interim United States Attorney. Mr. Danaher supervised the prosecution of Joseph P. Ganim, the Bridgeport mayor under indictment for municipal corruption, and Philip A. Giordano, the former Waterbury mayor who is facing charges of municipal corruption and also for the rape of two girls.
Mr. O'Connor will continue a campaign to target gun violence, aggressively pursuing prosecution for gun crimes at the federal level.
Three prosecutors in his office are devoted solely to this endeavor, and Keith King, another prosecutor, visits schools each week for a gun control program.
The federal gun and drug prosecutions tend to net mostly the young and poor, but Mr. O'Connor stressed that his office would pursue any and all crimes.
''You could be the most well-connected person in the world, but we'll hold you if we find something,'' he said. ''Nobody's above the law.''Continue reading the main story

Why Disney's Moana Is Such an Important Movie
I am beyond obsessed with Moana right now.
The latest Disney movie finally represents me.
That's right, me.
Me, with my impossibly thick curly-wavy hair that can only go in a ponytail, a high bun, or hang down, which gets in my face (and others') no matter what I do.
Me, with my dark skin and thick eyebrows.
Me, who grew up without a single Disney character to really identify with.
Me, who always felt ugly for not being white and always eating Indian food.
Me, blubbering at 3D stingrays at 24 years old.
Yes. ME!
I knew it as soon as I heard about it.
Moana is such an important movie. It's big step in the representation of people of colour in Disney movies, in particular Polynesian people. How many Disney movies can you think of that feature Polynesian characters?
Not many.
Even beyond the cultural representation, it features a female Polynesian character. A female who spends the entire movie trying to realize her life dream, and doesn't let anyone stop her. Sure, this isn't a breakthrough as many Disney movies feature young women. But a female Polynesian? Again, not many.
It is so important that young people can see themselves represented on the screen, and Disney is doing a better job of that lately. Even me, a fully grown adult, finally feels included.
Needless to say, when Moana's trailer first hit the interwebs, I was all over it.
My mother is from Fiji, though her heritage is South Indian. My father is really mixed: Hawaiian, Samoan, Chinese, and Indian as well.
Yes, I identify as Canadian. Yes, I also identify with Indian culture. But see, a lot of the Indian culture I've learned is actually Fijian-Indian because of my mom. Though I know less about the rest of my Polynesian heritage, I sure am proud of it!
I'm also obsessed with the ocean. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I grew up on the west coast. I have no idea. But my whole life, I've always loved the ocean.
I knew this was my freaking movie.
Then, when the full film came out, I saw it twice. The first time was with friends, the second time was with my family because my mom chose it as her birthday movie. I think she was excited to see a movie with a little version of herself — she never watches animated movies anymore. Even mommas are happy to see a Disney character of themselves!
Oh, and I'm likely going to see it again with another friend or two.
Yep. There's just no telling how far I'll go.
(Get it? Be proud of me, I've been holding that in for a while.)
(If you don't get it, shame on you. Watch this and then come back and be proud of me.)
Proud of me? Sweet.
Now listen… I'm not geeking out just because the character looks like me.
Moana's story really hits home.
It's a story lots of people deal with: feeling pressured to meet some sort of family expectation while your heart is somewhere else. Particularly with Moana, it's about living up to the expectation to stay with her family and fulfil her duties at home, but she just can't help wishing she could explore the world.
While I don't have statistics to back it, I believe that this is indeed common among people that aren't from Canadian or American culture. It was nice to see it in a Disney movie. It's a little stereotypical, yes but there is truth to it and that spoke to me.
A lot.
Even now, living with Grady in a different city, I feel a lot of pressure to go back home and not only just stay with my family, but be there for my elders. It's an important cultural family value. And like Moana, it's not like I don't want to — there's just so much more I want to see and do. And of course I feel guilty about it. I wish I could be the perfect daughter too!
(Straight up, I tell ya, Moana's life is my life.)
Now, for the average viewer, it might seem like a bit of a cliché. I won't lie: after Frozen, the complexity of Moana's story isn't its best selling point. This would be part of why it didn't explode box offices— besides the fact that it's competing with Rogue One and it doesn't feature white characters.
(Not trying to be arse. You can't deny that lack of whiteness will affect how well it does. Remember The Princess & the Frog? Fantastic movie! Amazing music! Different story! Didn't get nearly enough attention. I wonder why.)
Plus, Moana's relationship with her grandmother made me cry. Legit. Like six times. My sister made fun of me because I'd already seen it, too.
But the story is important because of how relatable it is to any first-generation person. It is just HUGE to see our story on screen in a beautiful Disney movie. I can't even explain how much it means to finally feel seen, valued, and represented.
And the music, oh the music!
Okay, I'll admit I don't know a lot about Polynesian music besides what I heard when I visited Fiji that one time in 2010. But it is beautiful! I think Disney did a really great job of creating music representative of different Polynesian cultures while incorporating English lyrics into them as well. This is also really important: I don't know too many songs that do this well and are deemed especially successful.
And it is successful. Moana's music is comparable to that of Frozen. "How Far I'll Go" was already at #6 on the charts less than two weeks after the movie was released, and in 2015 "Let It Go" was #5.
It is wonderful to know that cultural music is valued instead of looked down upon.
But, Sareeta… the controversy!
Yeah, yeah. The whole costume situation was a screw-up, most definitely. Nobody can pretend that one away.
As for the problems surrounding how Maui is represented in the movie, well… I have an unpopular opinion. At least from what I've read, most of the concern is that Maui is unfairly represented as "overweight" and "obese," reinforcing "typical American" negative stereotypes about Polynesian men. I think that frustration is unfair, because it just enforces fat shaming like no tomorrow to say that he "looked like after he fished up the Islands, he deep fried em and ate em." I also think the meme that Jenny Salesa created to reflect this perspective is also really awful, implying that being big is bad.
When I watched the movie, I really didn't think much of Maui's size, to be quite honest! I got a sense of strength and power, if anything.
However, there's also a legitimate concern that Maui is made out to be a comical character, when in Polynesian culture he is a very serious, important character, even if he is a trickster. This is something that I'm disappointed in Disney about. I know that they went out of their way to gather the Oceanic Trust, a group of people of different Polynesian cultures who acted as consultants during the making of this movie… so I wonder where they went wrong. I actually heard that there are many interpretations of Maui too, so I'm not sure exactly about this. How can he be serious and a trickster? Confusing, but perhaps Disney could have done a better job.
Still, Moana will touch the hearts of many and it will fulfil many childhood wishes.
I won't pretend it's better than Zootopia or Inside Out. It's not. But it is a "princess" movie, even if Moana is not a princess. The movie was bound to be a little limited by its genre.
But even with its faults, I'm so freaking happy to see a movie with an adventurous young woman of colour — a Polynesian at that! It spoke to me, years older than their target audience, and you bet it will speak to other young children like me. I wish I could have seen myself in a movie as a child.
The impact that this movie can have for people who feel underrepresented is indescribable. And you have to admit, it's big of Disney to even venture into touchy subjects like a cultural demigod.
I've said it before: it isn't perfect, but it's a HUGE step in the right direction.

I love rich food and I've come to love the mix of a rich sauce with meat over rice. You get this a lot with Thai curries, Indian Curries, Persian Korescht, and Afghan Quormas. This seems to be a very good format and economical too. Spices cost a lot but you don't need many and rice is cheap. Add meat of some sort and you have a great meal for a decent price. Living in the Pacific Northwest means that we have very limited selection of Persian restaurants and even when you do find one it's probably overpriced and low on quality. When I'm in Orange County I always eat at the Caspian Restaurant in Irvine not only for the environment but for the Fesanjoon.
Fesenjoon (slang for Khoresht-e Fesenjan) is a "stew" made up of a sauce from walnuts and pomegranate syrup/juice. It's wonderfully tart and deep. You add chicken and serve over Basmati rice. Not everyone likes it but it's one of my favorite things to eat.
I've eaten Fesenjoon at many restaurants and tried making it on many occasions. I've been somewhat successful but my Fesenjoon doesn't taste like the Caspians which is wonderfully smooth without being too sweet. Last week I ran across kshar.net, a site run by man determined to bring Persian culture to the masses. What brought me to his site was a three part series on Fesenjoon. His cooking style is a bit loose so you have to pay close attention to what he's doing to get similar results. He also doesn't argue about what SHOULD be, it's your food make it how you like it. He seems to be intent on letting a few ingredients talk as apposed to having many ingredients fighting for attention - I agree with this philosophy.

Khoresht-e Fesenjan is a rich Persian stew made from ground walnuts and pomegranate syrup.
Our purpose at RecessionChef is to demonstrate how you can eat like a king with the budget of a pauper.

The place where you live or work, the water you drink, the transport infrastructure you travel on, – the work of civil engineers literally surrounds us all. Somebody has to build the national and international infrastructure, and that somebody is us and may be you also if you join us.
Soon you will be making decisions for your career. We can't make these decisions for you, but we can offer guidance, information and the opportunity for you to become a professionally qualified civil engineer.
First let me answer your basic questions like
What is civil engineering?
Why civil engineering?
What are the requirements of a civil engineer?
What are employability options for a civil engineer?
What is Civil Engineering?
Civil engineers build our quality of life which is one of the world's most important jobs. Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline and core branch that deals with the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as buildings, bridges, roads, dams, canals etc., It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including structural engineering dealing with analysis and design of structures, geotechnical engineering dealing with analysis and design of foundations for various structures and soil related problems, water resources engineering dealing with analysis of water potential, design of hydraulic structures and allocation of water for various sectoral uses, environmental engineering dealing with water treatment for safe water supply to urban and rural areas and waste water treatment for preventing pollution hazards, transportation engineering dealing with analysis and design of roads , railways, airports and harbours, surveying dealing with mapping and setting out works and construction engineering dealing with construction materials, construction and maintenance of various structures. In addition, use of computers for analysis, design and construction, use of new technologies like remote sensing, intelligent buildings, intelligent transport system and green buildings, use of managerial skills for managing the resources and structures, use of communication skills for better understanding with people and need for environment consciousness in the design for environmental sustainability have all become part of civil engineering.
Why civil engineering?
Today, civilization relies more than ever on teams of inventive people to design, build and maintain the sophisticated environment that surrounds us. People who find they are drawn to civil engineering as a career look to find challenge, self-expression, achievement and personal reward through their work. If you would like to combine your technical knowledge and creative flair to solve problems, civil engineering is an excellent career choice. How many jobs affect how our environment looks and works? For many civil engineers, it is the way they can change our surroundings and improve the lives of millions of people that draws them to the profession. They see whole projects through each stage from feasibility to design and implementation. They are needed for disaster management after natural calamities like earthquakes, droughts and floods and at times of war, to help the local population rebuild or maintain the conditions that will keep them alive.
Requirements of a Civil Engineer
Today's civil engineer should possess in depth civil engineering skills for analysis, design, construction and maintenance of various structures, computer, managerial and communication skills for better management of various structures and resources and environment conscious skills for better environmental sustainability. He should be also trained to understand and solve real world problems in civil engineering.
Employability options for civil engineering students
There are many career paths for civil engineers .Civil engineers can work in Government departments ((ranging from municipality, corporation, state and central governments and Defense), public sector undertakings like SAIL, NTPC, NHPC, BHEL etc. and various private sector organizations.(contracting and consulting firms). Initially, the nature of job may be construction supervision, design, marketing or production. As they gain more experience, they manage projects. Other areas in which civil engineers work include entrepreneurship, teaching, research and development .For teaching and research, one has to acquire additional degrees at master's and Ph.D. level.
Civil engineering offers unparalleled opportunities to work overseas. By becoming professionally qualified, you will be able to enter the international workplace and work abroad for a short or long term.
Today, the world is undergoing vast changes-the technological revolution, population growth, environmental concerns, and more. All create unique challenges for civil engineers.
How the department of civil engineering, fulfills the requirement of a civil engineer?
The department of civil engineering, the requirement of acquisition of various skills by well designed curriculum, well qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty and staff, well equipped infrastructure like laboratories, and effective teaching learning process.
The department of civil engineering fulfills the requirement of equipping the students for real world by blending real world problems in the curriculum and teaching some of them by experts from industry in addition to guest lectures by experts from industry and other institutions. Through the practical training, project work, industrial visit and guest lectures and exposure to software, our students are well equipped for the real world. Further, involving students in industry institute interaction, continuing education, they are further exposed to real world problems in civil engineering..
Wish you Good Luck and All the Best!
