Tomato and Watermelon Salad with Feta and Herbs
Serving Size: 2
Prep Time:
Total Time:
This super refreshing, light salad is perhaps the most effort I've gone to with watermelon this season (and even here it's ridiculously easy). The watermelon cubes are tossed with sweet-tart cherry tomatoes, salty feta and tons of fresh herbs in a tangy lemon vinaigrette. I've added some wheat berries here to make it more of a meal, but you could easily skip those for an even lighter version.
Tomato and Watermelon Salad
Honey Lemon Vinaigrette
- Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar and mustard in a small mixing bowl until well-combined. Add the honey, and whisk until the vinaigrette is completely emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

`Back up` plan to deal with truant monsoon: FinMin
The government on Monday said it will prepare a "back up" plan to neutralise the impact of truant monsoon on agriculture and the country`s economic growth.
New Delhi: The government on Monday said it will prepare a "back up" plan to neutralise the impact of truant monsoon on agriculture and the country`s economic growth.
Saying that delayed monsoon is a concern, Finance Secretary Ashok Chawla told reporters, "The back up plan will be required... as of today the magnitude of what is required and what is likely to be required is not very high... not entirely known."
"This is something which will evolve as the situation becomes more and more clear," Chawla said when asked whether the government is working out a contingency plan to counter the situation.
He said, the Centre and state governments are trying to ensure adequate supply of power and diesel for farmers to help them exploit ground water resources to the maximum.
In order to ensure adequate production of crops like paddy, pulses and oilseeds which need lot of water, Chawla said, "The states and central governments are taking steps to ensure that there is adequate power supply and the diesel is available so that the farmers can exploit maximum ground water."
As regards assessment of the monsoon situation, the Finance Secretary said, "It continues to be a problem in some parts of central India and parts of north west India."
Pointing out that the monsoon situation has improved substantially in various parts of the country since June 25, Chawla said, it is more of a local problem.
However, delayed monsoon in certain areas of central and north-west India will impact output of paddy and pulses like urad, moong and oilseeds, he said, adding the farmers are opting for crops that do not require much water.
"Farmer himself has lot of fall back options... He will not let the land remain idle. He will put it to some use," he added.
On the likely impact of poor monsoon on farm output, Chawla said, "There will be perhaps some marginal decline in the kharif production, which at this point in time is not possible to be estimated by the agriculture ministry."
"They (agriculture ministry) haven`t done it yet. We will have to see what is decline, and what impact it has on total production on cereals and based on that what will be the impact on the GDP growth", he added.
Any possible decline in output, Chawla asserted, will not have any implications on the food security. "There will no issues as far as food security is concerned. There will be some impact on agriculture and some impact on GDP growth...How much. It is difficult to say," he said.

Lifestyle Changes After a Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes
Objective. Whether patients with type 2 diabetes change their lifestyle in response to their diagnosis and maintain behavior changes is unclear. This study aimed to 1) compare changes in lifestyle behaviors among participants who were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and those never diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and 2) investigate changes in lifestyle behaviors in relation to the duration of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
Methods. We used self-reported information from the New South Wales 45 and Up Study and a follow-up study. Changes in body weight; amount of walking, moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and sitting; fruit and vegetable consumption; and smoking status and number of cigarettes smoked were used as measures of health behavior change. These variables were compared between participants in a "new type 2 diabetes" group and a "no type 2 diabetes" group.
Results. The new type 2 diabetes group had a smaller decrease in vegetable consumption, lost more weight, and were more likely to quit smoking than the no type 2 diabetes group. MVPA, fruit consumption, and number of cigarettes smoked did not change significantly for either group. Although no significant changes were found in any of the health behaviors based on time since diagnosis, the magnitude of changes in weight and walking increased as duration of diagnosis increased, whereas changes in MVPA, number of cigarettes smoked, and proportion of participants who quit smoking decreased.
Conclusion. In this population-based study, participants with incident type 2 diabetes reported only minimal changes in their lifestyle factors after receiving their diagnosis.

007 weds in secret service
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz have tied the knot, according to his publicist.
Robin Baun revealed the Hollywood stars had got married, but refused to offer any more details.
The James Bond star and Oscar-winning actress reportedly tied the knot last Wednesday in a secret ceremony in New York. Only the Bond star's teenage daughter Ella, Weisz's five-year-old son Henry and two family friends attended.
The pair were rumoured to have started a romance on the set of upcoming movie Dream House - but kept it under the radar.
Craig, 43, rose to international stardom in 2006 when he became the sixth actor to play James Bond in the movie franchise. He will take on the role of the suave secret agent for the third time in the 23rd movie, which will be released in October next year. His other film credits include Elizabeth, Layer Cake and upcoming film The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Weisz, 41, has appeared in movies including The Mummy and About A Boy. Her role in 2005 film The Constant Gardener earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. The actress's son is from a previous relationship with Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky.

Eight Bit Studios is a successful Chicago-based digital agency that once figured out it lacks an effective status report tool for project managers. So they came out with the idea of SushiStatus, an easy-to-use and time-saving solution for generating reports.
The studio approached us first with the requirement to update the old version with additional functionality.
Later the client decided to make a new version of the solution, and since they're experts in the field with their own digital professionals, they have provided us with the UX and UI of the new version, so we had only to implement it in the code.
Our developers had successfully updated the old version with needed functionality, and then rolled out a grand update according to the client's requirements.
When updating the old version, we had repaid the technical debt and refactored the code whenever possible to avoid potential problems with scaling or adding new functionality in future.
Our developers were responsible for code refactoring and few minor and major version updates.
The new version of the product was successfully released and is now available for using. The solution is extremely stable, so the agency has assigned a single in-house specialist to maintain and further improve it in case of need.

Clint Dempsey broke Fulham's Premier League goal-scoring record by netting twice in a 3-0 victory over Bolton on Wednesday.
The American midfielder hooked a half-cleared corner into the net after 15 minutes and tapped in Eidur Gudjohnsen's flick-on three minutes into the second half to take his tally since joining Fulham in 2007 to 33 goals.
Dempsey surpasses fellow American Brian McBride and French midfielder Steed Malbranque, who both scored 32 league goals before leaving Fulham.
Dempsey's double took him to 12 league goals this season alone. Fellow Texan Brede Hangeland, the defender who plays his international football for Norway, completed Fulham's victory with a 65th minute-header.
Fulham soared into the top half of the Premier League standings to ninth, a place and four points behind Bolton with four matches remaining.
The victory extended Fulham's unbeaten run at Craven Cottage to seven matches, during which they have picked up 19 points out of a possible 21 to ensure the London club's Premier League survival.

I don't eat meat, because eating dead flesh seems kind of gross to me. No offense. And even if I did eat meat, I wouldn't eat crabs, because that's super gross. But dangit if I don't love a good summer crab feast anyhow: the newspapers, the picnic tables, the hammers, the beer, the smell of Old Bay, the corn, the beer, the overbearing humidity, the people arguing about that disgusting yellow mustard stuff, the sense that all over the region thousands of others are doing the same thing. Plus the beer.
Indeed, if you were trying to make a shoe inspired by a D.C.-area foodstuff, your best two options would clearly be Mumbo Sauce and blue crabs. And since Kevin Durant already came out with Mumbo Sauce shoes, it was inevitable that a Maryland Blue Crab shoe would be next.
"I love to eat crab," the Maryland native explained on a Nike teaser for his blue crab-inspired KD VIs. "That's why we made a Maryland blue crab shoe."
More, via Nike:
With color, graphics and textures mimicking a blue crab indigenous to Maryland, the high performance shoe can double as a showpiece. The details are unmistakable: exact pantone colors matching the legs and pinchers of a blue crab, with textured effects on the shoe's upper and KD logo matching a crab's shell. The KD-logo hologram on the outsole brings the theme full circle with crab legs and pinchers.
Durant had more to say in the video.
"In the summer times we would have at least four or five crab feasts," Durant also said. "In the culture from where I come from, crab is a big deal. I just wanted to bring that out within the shoe."
My only complaint is I think they should have the little pump like those old Reeboks, but instead of filling the shoe with extra air or whatever, they'd release little puffs of Old Bay scent. Or maybe leak the mustard stuff out of the soles. One of those options.
What's next in the D.C. foodstuff-inspired sneaker realm? Half-smokes, I suppose. Or something relating to Virginia hams. Or Natty Boh.

Body Height and Its Estimation Utilizing Arm Span Measurements in Bosnian and Herzegovinian Adults
Anthropologists recognized the tallness of nations in the Dinaric Alps long time ago. As the modern Bosnian and Herzegovinian fall more into the Dinaric racial classification, the purpose of this study was to examine the body height in Bosnian and Herzegovinian adults as well as the relationship between arm span as an alternative to estimating the body height and body height, which vary in different ethnic and racial groups. The nature and scope of this study analyzes 212 students (178 men, aged 22.42±2.79 and 34 women, aged 21.56±2.06) from the University of Banjaluka to be subjects. The anthropometric measurements were taken according to the protocol of the ISAK. Means and standard deviations were obtained. A comparison of means of body heights and arm spans within each gender group and between genders were carried out using a t-test. The relationships between body height and arm span were determined using simple correlation coefficients and their 95% confidence interval. Then a linear regression analysis was performed to examine the extent to which the arm span can reliably predict body height. The results have shown that male Bosnian and Herzegovinians are 183.87±7.11 cm tall and have an arm span of 184.50±8.28 cm, while female Bosnian and Herzegovinians are 171.82±6.56 cm tall and have an arm span of 169.85±8.01 cm. Compared to other studies, the results of this one have shown that both genders make Bosnian and Herzegovinian population one of the tallest nations on the earth, maybe the tallest one. Moreover, the arm span reliably predicts body height in both genders. However, the estimation equations, which were obtained in Bosnian and Herzegovinians, are substantially different alike in other populations, since arm span was close to body heights: in men 0.73±1.17 cm more than the body height and in women 1.97±1.45 centimeters less than the body height. This confirms the necessity for developing separate height models for each population.

This application claims priority to provisional U.S. patent application Ser. No. 60/250,146 filed Dec. 1, 2000, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
This invention relates generally to the field of mail processing, and more specifically to the field of processing and directing mail between machines.
Mail processing systems must accurately and quickly process large amounts of mail. The performance and cost of conventional mail processing are hindered by the need for many operators and the time required to manually move mail between machines.
Conventional mail systems process stamped mail through a plurality of separate machines including an advanced facer-canceler system/input subsystem (AFCS/ISS), an optical character reader (OCR) machine, and a delivery bar code sorter/output subsystem (DBCS/OSS). AFCS/ISS places incoming mail into a single file line in a pinch belt, checks for appropriate postage on mail, cancels the postage, and places the mail in stackers. AFCS/ISS positions the mail upright between a pair of pinch belts with either the stamp leading and the address on the front side or the stamp trailing and the address on the back side. AFCS/ISS obtains a picture image of each piece of mail and prints a mail identifier on each mail piece that is stored along with the image. The image is used to determine mail type such as printed address and script address. After canceling the postage, AFCS/ISS sorts the mail into one or more bins based on mail type. Each mail type has two bins, one for mail with the stamp leading and one for mail with the stamp trailing.
The machines that next process the mail, such as DBCS/OSS, require that all the mail be positioned with the stamp leading. An operator takes the stamp trailing mail from one bin and places it in a stamp leading position to combine with the mail in the stamp leading bin. Based on the mail type, the operator then moves the mail to the next processing point. Pre-bar coded mail is taken directly to the DBCS/OSS. Bar codes on the mail indicate the destination of the mail piece. Printed and scripted mail is taken to the OCR to have the mail processed to determine what bar code label is appropriate for a given piece of mail. OCR prints a bar code onto the mail. Bar-coded mail is then taken to a DBCS/OSS for further processing.
DBCS/OSS sorts the mail into a plurality of stackers based on the bar code data which reflects the mail destination.
The present invention reduces the number of processing operators required and speeds the processing of the mail.
Systems and methods consistent with the present invention process and carry mail between a postage verifier and a mail sorter.
A mail processing interface is provided between a postage verifier and a mail sorter. The interface includes a reverter for orienting mail received from the postage verifier, a first mail carrying module configured to receive mail from the reverter, a transport configured to receive mail from the first mail carrying module, and a second mail carrying module configured to receive mail from the transport and to output mail to the mail sorter.
A mail processing system includes a postage verifier, a reverter orienting mail received from the postage verifier, a first mail carrying module configured to receive mail from the reverter, a transport configured to receive mail from the first mail carrying module, a second mail carrying module configured to receive mail from the transport, and a mail sorter configured to receive mail from the second mail carrying module.
A processing method processes mail through a postage verifier having an optical character reader, mail interface system, and a mail sorter. The mail interface system includes an upward module carrying mail up to an overhead transport positioned at a height above an output of the postage verifier, and a downward module carrying mail down from the overhead transport to the mail sorter. The method includes verifying and canceling postage, positioning mail pieces in a same configuration in a single file line, directing mail pieces up the upward module, directing mail pieces through the overhead transport, directing mail pieces down the downward module to a mail sorter, and sorting the mail based on destination.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate one embodiment of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the objects, advantages, and principles of the invention. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the mail processing system consistent with methods and systems of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing steps for processing mail using the system shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows a piece of mail in a pair of belts positioned with the stamp leading; and
FIG. 4 shows the elements of the direct connect system consistent with methods and systems of the present invention.
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments consistent with this invention that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings generally refer to the same or like parts.
Current mail processing systems require an operator to arrange and carry mail between an AFCS/ISS, OCR and DBCS/OSS. Systems and methods consistent with the present invention provide an OCR at a postage verifier, such as the AFCS/ISS, and include a direct connect system to allow mail to be automatically processed and transported between the postage verifier and a mail sorter, such as the DBCS/OSS.
FIG. 1 shows a mail processing system consistent with the present invention. The system includes AFCS/ISS 100, OCR 110, remote encoding system (REC) 200, data control system 300, database 310, direct connect system 400, machine control system 405, and DBCS/OSS 500. AFCS/ISS 100, performs the same as the conventional AFCS/ISS described above, and further includes an OCR 110 and a connection to direct connect system 400. AFCS/ISS 100 directs processed mail to either direct connect system 400 or to a set of stackers. Direct connect system 400 arranges and carries mail to DBCS/OSS 500. DBCS/OSS 500 performs like the conventional DBCS/OSS described above, and additionally accepts mail from the direct connect system 400 and prints bar codes on mail as needed.
Data control system 300 is connected to AFCS/ISS 100, DBCS/OSS 500, and REC 200. Data control system 300 organizes bar code information and mail identifiers. Data control system 300 includes a processor and memory with database 310.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing steps for processing mail using the elements shown in FIG. 1. AFCS/ISS 100 checks for postage on received mail and stamps a cancellation mark on the mail (step 210). AFCS/ISS 100 also prints a mail piece identifier on each piece of mail. AFCS/ISS 100 determines if a mail piece already contains a bar code (step 220) and, if so, forwards the mail piece to direct connect system 400. Mail that does not have a bar code is processed by OCR 110 located within AFCS/ISS 100 (step 230). OCR 110 attempts to analyze address information from an optical image of the mail, obtained by AFCS/ISS 100, to generate bar code data for the mail piece. If OCR 110 is not able to decode an address (step 240), the image of the mail piece is sent to REC 200 (step 250). Individuals located at REC 200 view the image of the mail piece and input bar code information. The bar code information determined by OCR 110 or input at REC 200 is forwarded to data control system 300 for storage in database 310 along with the mail piece identifier (step 260). AFCS/ISS 100 outputs mail to direct connect system 400 (step 270). Direct connect system 400 places all mail pieces in the same orientation, such as stamp leading, and carries the mail over a work area and back down to enter DBCS/OSS 500 (step 280). FIG. 3 shows a piece of mail 30 being carried in an upright position in a pair of pinch belts 34 (one shown) with stamp 32 leading.
DBCS/OSS 500 directs mail into a plurality of stackers based on the destination indicated on a bar code on a mail piece. DBCS/OSS 500 determines if a mail piece has a bar code (step 290). DBCS/OSS 500 uses the bar code to direct the mail piece to a stacker associated with the destination (step 292). If a mail piece does not have a bar code, DBCS/OSS 500 queries database 310 at data control system 300 using the mail piece identifier, requesting bar code information (step 294). If bar code information is in database 310, DBCS/OSS 500 receives the bar code information from data control system 300, prints the bar code on the mail piece (step 296) and directs the mail to the appropriate destination stacker (step 292). Otherwise, the mail is placed in a reject stacker (step 298). About fifteen percent of the mail will be placed in the reject stacker. Some of these pieces may be rejected because the individuals at REC 200 have not entered the bar code information in time. The reject pieces may be re-run through the DBCS/OSS 500 at a later time after REC 200 has entered more bar code data into database 310.
In FIG. 4, machine control system 405 in direct connect system 400 is connected to each of the elements in direct connect system 400, AFCS/ISS 100 and DBCS/OSS 500 to control whether mail is deposited in stackers or directed to the next machine in line. Machine control system 405 may also select the source of mail to be processed by the DBCS/OSS 500. Machine control system 405 includes a processor 402, memory 404 and sensors. Sensors are located throughout each of the connected elements to note any failures, such as paper jams, and report the failure through the control system to an operator. A control panel allows an operator to receive information from machine control system 405 and to control the overall system.
FIG. 4 shows the elements of direct connect system 400. Mail is received from AFCS/ISS 100 at a reverter 410 piece by piece in a pinch belt. Reverter 410 detects that a piece is received preferably by use of a photodetector. Reverter 410 tracks the spacing between pieces using the photodetector and if pieces are too close together for processing, a mail piece is output to stackers 420. There may be one or more stacks in stackers 420 facing either toward or away from an operator. In one embodiment, three stackers facing toward the operator are used, one for pre-bar coded mail, a second for script and printed mail, and a third for rejected mail.
AFCS/ISS 100 keeps track of the order in which it is sending the pieces of mail and signals the reverter 410 indicating whether a piece is stamp leading or stamp trailing. If the stamp is trailing, reverter 410 directs the mail piece into a reverting section to turn the piece of mail around so that the address is facing out and the stamp is leading as shown in FIG. 3. If a piece of mail is already in the stamp leading position, the mail piece bypasses the reverting section. After turning a piece of mail around, reverter 410 inserts the piece of mail back into the same order in the mail flow.
Reverter 410 receives information about the mail type of each mail piece from AFCS/ISS 100. An operator, at the control panel associated with machine control system 405, may direct the reverter to sort mail, or a specific type of mail, into stackers 420. Machine control system 405 may direct reverter 410 to place mail in stacker 420 if there is an error downline, such as when the upward module 430 is stopped. In an alternative embodiment, AFCS/ISS 100 may place mail directly into stackers 420.
AFCS/ISS 100 and DBCS/OSS 500 are typically located across a pedestrian aisle. Upward module 430 carries the mail up using a pair of pinch belts to overhead transport 440. Overhead transport 440 uses a pair of pinch belts to carry the mail across to downward module 450. Upward module 430, overhead transport 440, and downward module 450, may include turns and angles as needed, such as to avoid other equipment. Downward module 450 carries the mail down using a pair of pinch belts to DBCS/OSS 500. If DBCS/OSS 500 is not accepting mail, machine control system 405 may divert mail to stackers 460. Stackers 460 may include one or more stacks. In one embodiment, there are two stacks at stackers 460. In another embodiment, stackers 460 may feed mail to DBCS 500.
DBCS/OSS 500 receives mail from either downward module 450 or feeder 510. Machine control system 405 controls which source DBCS/OSS 500 uses to receive mail. An operator at DBCS/OSS 500 may also select which source should receive mail. This allows for DBCS/OSS 500 to be used separate from direct connect system 400. For example, if DBCS/OSS 500 is down and mail collects in stackers 460, an operator may place the mail from stackers 460 into feeder 510 once DBCS/OSS 500 is operational. If there is an error with direct connect system 400 or AFCS/ISS 100, DBCS/OSS 500 may be used to process mail inserted into feeder 510.
The upward module 430, overhead transport 440, and downward module 450 may be bypassed by using stacker 420 and feeder 510. An operator may carry mail from stacker 420 to feeder 510 for processing by DBCS/OSS 500.
In one embodiment, reverter 410, stackers 420, upward module 430, overhead transport 440, downward module 450 and stackers 460 have indicating lights within the view of an operator that indicate the location of any jams.
In one embodiment, the gap between mail pieces is 30+/−5 msec and the reverter module may reject pieces of mail that have a gap of less than 25 msec.
In another embodiment, the overhead transport is at a height of less than eleven feet. In yet another embodiment, the overhead transport may be positioned below the height of a person or at the height of the AFCS/ISS if desired.
There are many variations that may be made consistent with the present invention. For example, in another embodiment, the reverter 410 is located after the downward module 450. The reverter may also position mail in different orientations based on what is required by machines downline. A database that stores mail identifiers and related information may be located anywhere accessible to DBCS/OSS. Other postage verifiers may be used in place of the AFCS/ISS, and other bar code sorting machines may be used in place of DBCS/OSS.
In general, the mail carrying elements of the preferred embodiment are pinch belts. However, the mail carrying areas may have sections where the belts are loose, leveler sections that fix skewed pieces of mail, and belt areas. Structure other than pinch belts may be used such as belts, vacuum assisted belts, slotted belt chains, or rollers.
In another embodiment, the AFCS/ISS may send specific types of mail to the direct connect system, such as script and print, and send other types of mail to stackers 420 or stackers 460, such as pre-bar coded mail.
The foregoing description is presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not exhaustive and does not limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practicing the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.

AN: I know some of you really wanted the Arya chapter, but i decided to go with Gendry. Thanks to all my patient readers and reviewers. This one took me a while because, well, life.
Thank you John, as always, and please all of you, remember to review. I really appreciate all the feedback.
Chapter 7
Gendry stepped out of the rain and into the house leaving behind him a trail of wet boot prints followed him all the way up the steps to his room. His clothes clung coldly to his frame and his long hair was stuck flat against his skull and neck, dripping with rain. He wiped violently at a strand on his forehead and began to fuss with the leather straps of his boots. The door was partly ajar so he could hear Lord Ollie's soft footsteps ascending the steps. The hinges on the heavy door creaked their protest as the man pushed it open with a soft knock.
"A girl was here to see you earlier." he stepped inside. "I sent her down to the forge, but I'm not sure she-"
"I saw her." Gendry cut him off as he peeled off the layers of clothes one by one and dropped them wetly by his feet.
He hated addressing Lord Ollie in such a crude tone, but there were days when he grew annoyed of the man and his cheerful, patient nature.
I still do not trust him.
Even when all the man had ever bestowed upon Gendry was kindness. He took him in when Davos freed him of the red priestess and Dragonstone and his deadly fate. He took him in with no questions and expected nothing in return. But Gendry was so suspicious of everyone and everything that it was so easy to question even those kind actions. Were they kindness, or something else?
A way to gain his trust, perhaps. A way to trick him into a false sense of security.
Perhaps he was just stupid to doubt that honourable men still existed, and that Lord Ollie was one of them. One thing that would never change though, even if Lord Ollie turned out to be as godly as he appeared.
He is still a highborn.
"Cat, her name was."
Gendry's head snapped to Lord Ollie. "Her name is Beth."
"A bald, skinny, blind girl with pox scars? The girl that came down to the forge. It was Beth."
Lord Ollie tilted his head to one side with a perplexed look teasing his features. "Her hair was shaved off, yes, but she was not blind, and she had no scars. She said she was your friend."
"I don't have friends. And I don't know any Cats. Just Beth. A blind beggar girl named Beth."
"Maybe she lied about her name." Lord Ollie offered.
"Did she lie about being blind too?"
"People have more pity towards the blind, the crippled and the ill. I'm not calling your friend a liar, but perhaps it was a trick to-"
"She's not my friend. And people have little pity on anyone." Gendry turned his back to Lord Ollie and began untying the laces on his breeches.
"She works for Brusco. I've seen her before, pushing his cart of clams and mussels down the street."
"I'd like to undress in peace, please." Gendry shot back at the man, hating how much like a snobbish highborn he sounded.
"Of course." Lord Ollie said apologetically. Gendry heard the sound of the man's skirt sweeping across the floor as he turned for the door and stepped out of the room. He exhaled sharply as soon at the door closed.
Not an hour ago, he had been down at the forge finishing the etchings he was working on to Beth's walking stick.
A walking stick for a liar. "I don't need it anymore." Her words echoed in his head.
He had only seen a flash of her brown tunic as she darted out the door, but he sprinted after her and saw that it was Beth, running up the steps as if the death himself were after her. He tried to call after her. He tried to follow fruitlessly, for he tripped halfway up the steps and nearly fell.
If what Lord Ollie said was true, then Cat and blind Beth were the same person, and all this time, she had been pretending. For what?
Gendry didn't care. He knew two things, that she was a liar and that the fact should not be upsetting him as much as it was.
He slipped into a simple pair of house breeches and a thin shirt and spent the rest of the day trying to distract himself from thoughts of the lying girl and her unfinished walking stick. I should have been working on fixing those doors instead.
It was pointless though. Tam was in a terribly quiet mood during their lessons, and during supper, Lord Ollie tried to make as little conversation as possible. The storm retuned that evening and with the rain falling hard and mercilessly outside, there was no way to escape the maddening silence of the large house.
His night was a restless one too, and Gendry could not figure out why he had trouble finding sleep. His thoughts found Kings Landing, and what vague, foggy memories he had of his mother. When he woke the next morning to the distant roar of the Titan's morning herald, the memory of his dream was fresh and vivid and real as the dim light that bled through the shuttered windows.
To his surprise, it was not Melisandre he had dreamt of, but Beth. She had the walking stick he made for her and the binds she usually wore over her eyes were gone as were the pox scars. What he was left to state at was a missing face. There was not a hole where the face should be, there was simply no face. No eyes. No lips and no nose. She spoke and the words were loud and clear, but no lips moved, and Gendry tried to find he source of the sound. She was telling him a story about a basket heavy of nuts that fell from her hands and broke. Nuts spilled all over the street floor for people to step on and ruin. All Gendry could pay notice to was the missing face. It terrified and oddly, saddened him a little.
Hs eyes focused on the outline of the shuttered window; he still felt the sadness and the terror he felt in his dream. He clenched his jaw and sighed. Damn you Beth... you and your lies.
"Cat of the Canals." He brought up as casually as he could manage as he broke his fast with Lord Ollie later that morning. "You said you know who she works for?"
If she came looking for me here and at the forge, she must need something. I just want to know what.
"Brusco." Lord Ollie replied in a tone as casual as Gendry's. "He's a fishmonger. You can find him below the Drowned Town."
"Brusco." Gendry echoed with a nod.
He made a quick stop at the forge after breakfast to finish the last of the etchings on the walking stick. It was hers after all. He had no use for it, so he would give it to her whether she needed it or not.
Finding Brusco was not difficult. The walk took him longer than he expected but when he finally made it to the street he'd been directed to by a man in a barge, he found a man with the crooked back ducking under a stone arch of a crumbling stone home. He was accompanied by a girl. When Gendry asked for Brusco, he considered Gendry suspiciously before taking a step forward.
"I'm Brusco."
"I'm looking for Cat."
"Cat never came back last night." the girl besides Brusco said, but when the man shot her a warning glare, she cast her eyes to the ground.
"She comes and goes." the man struggled to say. "She left for some long months a while back. I thought her dead, but then she came back. No hair and skinnier than this one here." The man shook the meager girl besides him by the shoulder. "I don't know when she will be back. She may be gone for a few days. She may really be dead this time. Last night's storm claimed several lives. Try the mortuary if you're that eager to locate her." he told Gendry dismissively and stepped inside his house.
Gendry started up the steps to the main street, walking stick at hand. He would go to Pynto and ask him if he'd seen her. He was almost sure Beth did a lot of her begging at his...
"She's not dead."
Gendry turned. It was Brusco's girl.
"Where is she then?" his words puffed out of his mouth in the cold air. He slowed his pace, allowing the girl catch up.
She came up beside him and they strolled down the street in silence until they were a decent distance away from her street, which branched out in a nearly parallel direction from the main road they were on. The girl looked nervous and would not stop glancing towards her house. "That is what you came to tell me. You know where she is?" Gendry snapped impatiently.
She licked her lips, clearly struggling to find a way to say whatever it is she was trying to say. Gendry turned his body to face her.
"I'm not too certain." she began, taking a deep breath. "Cat is very closed. Her eyes reveal little. All I ever see in them is ice. A dangerous cold."
"Danger? Is she blind?"
The girl frowned, clearly confused. "No." she turned to her house once more.
"Was she ever?" she shook her head. "Do you know where she is then?"
"There are nights, after my father falls asleep, when I slip out of the house to meet a boy. When Cat came to us, I saw her creep out at nights too; but not to meet a boy. We followed her once, this boy and I. The night was foggy so she did not know we followed her. She led us all the way up to the House of Black and White."
"The House of Black and White?" The name bothered Gendry for some reason.
"It's a temple. Cat always had a darkness about her. It really did not surprise me much. Some nights, my sister and I would hear her growling in her sleep. Then there was that list."
Every hair in the back of Gendry's neck stood at that word.
They both turned to the steps that descended to the small alley behind Brusco's street. There stood a young girl, skinnier than Beth, if that was possible, glaring at them.
"I must go." the girl, Brea, told him as she turned for the steps. Gendry caught her wrist with his free hand and spun her to face him. When her wide, terror stricken eyes met his, he realized just how tightly his grasp was and he let her go.
"What list?" he demanded.
Brea shook her head with a nervous shrug. "Just a list. A list she whispers at night. A list of names." She turned away but Gendry grabbed her wrist once more, this time gently.
"Do you remember the names?" he pleaded. "Any of them? Please?" he dared to ask.
Deep inside his stomach, a feeling stirred and struggled to be freed. Gendry didn't let it get the best of him though. No feeling anything.
"I don't remember any of them." The girl pulled her hand from his and clutched it to her chest.
"Brea!" the younger girl called again.
"The House of Black and White." Brea whispered to him before running off.
Gendry sighed, his chest heavy with something unknown. He would not let it be known. He forbade himself from thinking it.
A stone bridge took him to a tavern where a tall girl with blonde hair and two missing teeth gave him directions to the temple.
The grey temple stood tall and menacing on a rocky hill. The climb up its many steps brought him before a pair of tall doors; one black and one white. He banged on them thrice and waited. His gaze wandered across the water to the temple of the Lord of Light, standing tall and red in its own hill. Gendry allowed himself a shudder.
Behind the black and white doors before him no sound could be heard. No sign of life. No music. Nothing. He tried again and waited, longer this time. On his third attempt, he called out in the common tongue of Braavos but still no one came.
"Damn!" Gendry pushed and pulled at the door but they did not give. What sort of temple kept its doors locked? He noticed to his right, the steep steps that led down to a covered dock where an old man was carefully untying his small boat.
Gendry darted down the steps, taking them two at a time. He would ask the man how to gain entry to the temple.
Suddenly, one foot fell heavy on one of the steps and it rocked loose, slipping out of its space. Gendry fell on his side and the walking stick clattered besides him before rolling off the side and dropping into the water with a heavy splash.
The man on the small dock must have noticed, for he called up at him in a concerned tone. Gendry didn't catch a single word he said though. The man's voice was just a blur of muffled sound behind him, and the splash created by the walking stick a fading echo in the air. The only thing that was real and clear was the cold pain biting at his side where the sharp steps had dug into his flesh.
He turned with a pained groan, careful not to fall over the edge like the walking stick had, when the space the loose stone step had slipped out of caught his eye.
With one scraped hand he pulled himself closer to get a better look and make sure the pain was not causing him to imagine what was not really there. But as he came closer and gaped into the hole on the floor, he saw it clear and real.
One hand kept him from falling over the edge and the other reached into the shallow hole to pull out the item that confirmed his earlier suspicions.
When Brea spoke of Beth, or rather Cat and her dangerous eyes and her list, Gendry had used every bit of will power he could conjure to keep his mind from even considering the possibility. He had, for a brief moment, allowed himself to consider it back when he had first met Beth and had decided that it would never happen again.
But as he curled his fingers around the small hilt of Needle and he felt the burn of tears in his eyes he allowed himself to consider; allowed the emotions to wriggle free.
"Are you hurt?" the man's voice called a few steps below him. "Are you alright?"
Gendry shook his head, his unblinking eyes set on Needle.
"No." he whispered. "I'm not. I'm not alright."
Don't forget to review!

|Punisian Dinar (PND)
|Our Timeline Equivalent
Punisia is a nation situated on the northern coast of Africa. Punisia has a long history, and has been taken over by many nationalities, including Phoenecians and Punics, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, and French. Through that period, the Berber people survived, now still representing a large minority of Libyans. Religions have fluctuated, too. Indigenous Berber beliefs lost ground to the Greek and Roman pantheon, which lost out to Christianity. Then, in the 600s, the Islamic invasions began. Over the next few centuries, it became largely Arabized, with some Berber holdouts. Then, in the 1500s, France gained power and most of the population converted to Catharism or Christianity. Starting from the 1700s, atheism became widespread as well, through contact with metropolitan France. In 1951, the same year as Libya, Punisia gained independece.
The name "Punisia" has an interesting etymology. In the second millennium BCE, a city named "Tunes" was founded by Berbers. This would eventually become the city of Tunis. In the 9th century BCE, the city was taken over by Phoenecians, and until the final Roman invasion, was "Punic", that is, Carthagian, in culture. When the nation gained independence, it decided on the name Punisia to reflect its proud Punic past as well - Punic + Tunisia = Punisia.

I use the cloudera virtual machine (on my windows and mac systems) for all my testing and script writing before we deploy on the cluster. You can download it free from their webpage. I like that their distro will auto update all hadoop ecosystem programs (Hive, Pig, Mahout, etc).

Malaysia Protests
July 10, 2011 by staff
Malaysia Protests, Police in Malaysia can have crushed a protest over the weekend, butanlysts say the crackdown has tarnished the country's democratic credentials and could embolden the opposition before the elections.
A large security operation on Saturday in the capital, Kuala Lumpur stalled plan Bersih, a loose coalition of opposition parties and civil society groups to gather 100,000 people for a rally demanding electoral reforms.
Police used teargas and water cannons to disperse the crowd in the biggest anti-government protests to hit the nation since 2007, when similar demands for reform also ended in chaos on the streets.
More than 1,600 people were arrested, including 16 children, as well as prominent lawmakers, and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was hospitalized after being shot down in chaos.
Analysts and activists said the police action was likely to backfire severely on the country's image as one of the most democratic countries in Southeast Asia.
Prime Minister Najib Razak has cultivated an image of an emerging nation with a strong economy and open political environment.
"I think it has tarnished the image of Malaysia and its membership in the Human Rights Council," said politicalanlyst Khoo Kay Peng.
Describing the police action as "completely exaggerated," Khoo said: "He's a murderer in our image as a democratic, progressive."
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International has condemned the attacks and arrests and rebuked Malaysia for mock international standards.
"As a current member of the Human Rights Council, the Government of Malaysia should be an example to other nations and promote human rights," Amnesty International said Donna Guest.
"Instead, it seems to be removing them in the worst campaign of repression that we saw in the country for years."
Yeah Kim Leng, chief economist at RAM Holdings independent consultancy, said the protest showed a negative light in Malaysia, whose economy grew 7.2 percent last year – one of the strongest in Southeast Asia.
"The biggest concern is the cost of raw material of political risk and caution among investors greater," said another.
The political opposition led by Anwar had greater gains in the 2008 general election, denying the ruling Barisan Nasional a two-thirds absolute majority for the first time since 1969.
Last April, the opposition continued with victories at the polls upset the state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo, a traditional bastion of power Barisan.
The opposition, which believes it would have done better in 2008 – a potential threat to half a century, the Barisan Nasional rule – if the vote had been fair.
Protesters said they want to see electoral reforms to prevent fraud, including the use of indelible ink to prevent multiple voting, equal accesses to media for all parties and the cleanliness of the electoral lists.
"Clearly the government is intimidated by the meeting. They did not want the opposition to gain momentum in this protest," said Khoo.
James Chin, a professor of political science at the campus of Monash University in Kuala Lumpur, said the government had overreacted and warned, "This will blow-back to Najib."
"The consequences will be felt for Najib in the next general election. People are going to vote against the incumbent government," he said.
Political observers said the protesters were sentenced on Saturday – to abstain from throwing stones police, looting stores and smashing windows.
Many were young adults and professionals, who are firm in their demands for electoral reforms.
"Clearly the government is running scared. People are not afraid of being arrested," said Anwar.
Najib said Khoo lacked the political skill to enable the police to block the capital and the launch door to door looking for hotels to detain protest leaders in the run up to the rally on Friday night.
"There is a clamor for better governance and greater democratic principles, but unfortunately the government does not receive the signals," he said.
