A beautiful brooch, made to order, I love my unique felt creation. Jane was a pleasure to work with; she kept me updated throughout with regular emails and the brooch arrived *beautifully* packaged. The brooch is stunning and a real conversation piece. Thank you Jane!

Great, fun brooch! Makes my toddler friends laugh! thx!
A brief history of The Shiny Jane Company
Let's start at the very beginning...
My father's mother ran a knitting empire. She subcontracted work to a crack squad of knitters in her neighbourhood, fulfilling factory demands to make ends meet when my Dad was a boy.
My mother's mother was also a hard-core knitter, when my Mam was a girl, she knitted Aran jumpers for an entire Norwegian fishing crew. Seriously.
My mother is an all 'round crafting genius; sewing, knitting, flower arranging, plumbing… you name it, she can do it.
My biological mother is a textile artist and felting guru, so when I first met her in 2007 and she taught me how to felt – I didn't stand a chance!
I set up The Shiny Jane Company in 2009 in a feeble attempt to deplete my enviable wool stocks. Alas, they have only grown. Along with the button hills, the fabric mountain, the ribbon meadows, the paper fields…
When I'm not frolicking in the woolly wonderland, I work as a scientist and a fine artist. It gives me enormous delight imagining that each Shiny Jane brooch will find it's perfect recipient, and I imagine the adventures that they'll have together all around the world!

North Sea clothing offers an extensive range of sizes in order to provide you with the most comfortable fit.
If you are unsure of your size, take a soft tape measure, and measure (in inches) around your chest, at your underarm, and this will give you your N.S.C size. If you prefer a loose fit, we suggest you order a size up. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any queries regarding style, fit or sizing.
The fit of this cotton jumper is different to the Wool Submariner. The cotton version features an INSET SLEEVE for a streamline fit (rather than the drop shoulder of the wool version).
The roll neck is slightly WIDER fitting (to reduce the cotton 'wearing' against any possible stubble), and the body length is slightly LONGER than the wool version.
Wool and cotton behave differently whilst being worn, and also when washed.
This jumper can shrink a little in length when washed at 40 degrees. It can also be pulled back into shape while damp. The cotton will 'give' more whilst being worn. Wool, better retains its shape.
The fit of this shawl collar jumper is the same as our Wool version of the Expedition Mk 2, which itself, differs slightly from the Expedition Mk 1.
This Mk 2 version has a wider neck opening and a slightly more generous shawl collar than the Mk 1 version. The fit of the jumper body remains the same in both Mk1, Mk2 Wool and Cotton versions.
The fit of this jumper is the same as the wool version of the Engineer Mk 2.
For more info on Jumper sizing please get in touch.

UK: Gov't shuns call for sugar, salt, fat limits in food
By Chris Mercer | 7 January 2013
The UK Department of Health has dismissed a call by the UK's leading opposition party for legal limits on salt, sugar and fat in foods aimed at children.
A Department of Health spokesperson said today (7 January) that the government's voluntary approach, led by its responsibility deal with the food industry, is already helping to cut fat, salt and sugar in foods.
"There is now less salt in the food we buy, companies are cutting and capping calories and artificial trans fats are being widely taken out of food," he said.
However, Labour party shadow health minister, Andy Burnham, said over the weekend that his party will publish a policy review that considers the idea of setting maximum permitted levels of fat, salt and sugar in food marketed at children.
Burnham said ministers should take a tougher line with the food industry, amid new figures from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that show 26.6% of UK girls and 22.7% of boys are considered overweight or obese.
"The Government has failed to come up with a convincing plan to tackle this challenge," Burnham said. Government figures show that obesity costs the National Health Service GBP5bn per year.
The Department of Health spokepesperson said: "We are working to reduce the amount of salt in food further, cut saturated fat consumption, and we are exploring how to promote healthier food choices more widely. We also want more businesses making pledges so we get bigger results."
A spokesperson for trade body the Food & Drink Federation added: "Salt levels have reduced 9% since 2006 and some manufacturers have introduced calorie caps in particular for snacks and soft drinks."
Sectors: Advertising & labelling, Health & wellness

I did my research and it seems as though the Picosure laser is the best on the market. I went for a consult the other day and the technician quoted me $200 per session. She also said it would take approximately 2-3 sessions to lighten it enough for a cover up.
What I'm most concerned about is the healing process. I am prepared for the pain of the procedure but the blistering sounds awful. I'm planning to get my first procedure done at the end of August. I have some time off work so it will allow me a full week to heal at home.
I was wondering if anyone has stories to share about this Picosure procedure. I'm especially interested in hearing about the healing process and the results. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Very interesting, thanks for the feedback! Let me see whether I got it: 1. All statements below refer to Java 1.5. 2. fieldX = new SomeType(zzz) - This is thread-safe if SomeType is immutable. An immutable object features: - unmodifiable state - all fields are final and all fields hold immutable objects - proper construction: "this" is not escaped in the constructor. - LocatorFactoryImplEx is an immutable object 3. Construction and assigning different instances of LocatorFactoryImplEx() to locatorFactory is allowed 4. Running Jackrabbit under Java 1.4 has got threading issues because of the revised final as mentioned above. 5. > Actually, this internal field is the source of a potential data race: thread > A runs up to the point, when it has constructed LocatorFactoryImplEx but has > not yet assigned the internal field. Thread A gets on hold relative to > thread B. B runs through the getter and sees that locatorFactory is not > null, fetches the object, access the uninitialized internal field and voilà! > We have a mess. This is wrong for immutable objects like LocatorFactoryImplEx(). It only applies to mutable objects. Can I suggest to add a note in the doc that all those classes need to be immutable? Next, I gonna learn why the mutable resourceConfig in SimpleWebDavServlet.getResourceFactory() is fine for multiple threads... Marc

Four dead as bus plunges off bridge in S Korea
July 3, 2010 by Post Team
Four dead as bus plunges off bridge in S Korea:(GEO)SEOUL: At least four people were killed and more than a dozen injured when a bus plunged off a bridge into mudflats near Seoul's international airport on Saturday, police said.
"At least four passengers died and some 13 others were injured. The bus fell over the Incheon Bridge on to a mudflat, not into the sea," a police spokesman told foreign news agency. The accident happened as the express bus carrying about 40 passengers left Incheon international airport heading towards a nearby town, he said.

OFFICIAL: CAF expands Africa Cup of Nations to 24 teams
The Africa Cup of Nations are set to be expanded to 24...
There has been a lot of speculation regarding the future of current national team manager Shawky Gharib after Wednesday's loss against Tunisia.
The Pharaohs succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet, a result that was the final nail in the coffin of Egypt's 2015 AFCON qualifying hopes.
"Shawky Gharib didn't take advantage of Tunisia's bad performance in the first half of the match and the substitutions affected the team negatively," said the former Al-Ahly Tripoli manager.
"The Egyptian Football Association has to choose the next manager according to specific standards, and the target in the next stage should be qualifying for the 2017 African Cup of Nations and the 2018 World Cup," he added.
El-Badry went on to say that should he be offered the national team manager position, he would find it hard to refuse.
Several candidates have been touted to take over as manager in the coming period such as the aforementioned Badry, Manuel José, former Zamalek coach Jorvan Vieira and current Côte d'Ivoire manager Hervé Renard.
The EFA will make a decision regarding the national team manager situation in the coming days, and it is widely believed that Shawky Gharib will be relieved of his duties following a poor run of results.

Regulation of membrane fatty acid composition by temperature in mutants of Arabidopsis with alterations in membrane lipid composition
A wide range of cellular responses occur when plants are exposed to elevated temperature, including adjustments in the unsaturation level of membrane fatty acids. Although membrane bound desaturase enzymes mediate these adjustments, it is unknown how they are regulated to achieve these specific membrane compositions. Furthermore, the precise roles that different membrane fatty acid compositions play in photosynthesis are only beginning to be understood. To explore the regulation of the membrane composition and photosynthetic function in response to temperature, we examined the effect of temperature in a collection of mutants with altered membrane lipid fatty acid composition.
In agreement with previous studies in other species, the level of unsaturation of membrane fatty acids in Arabidopsis was inversely correlated with growth temperature. The time required for the membrane fatty acids to attain the composition observed at elevated temperature was consistent with the timing required for the synthesis of new fatty acids. Comparisons of temperature-induced fatty acid alterations in membranes were made among several Arabidopsis lines including wild-type Columbia, and the compositional mutants,
The results of this study support the premise that defined proportions of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in membrane lipids are required for photosynthetic thermostability and acclimation to elevated temperature. The results also suggest that changes in the membrane fatty acid composition brought about in response to temperature are regulated in such a way so as to achieve highly similar unsaturation levels despite mutations that alter the membrane composition prior to a high-temperature exposure. The results from examination of the mutant lines also suggest that interorganellar transfer of fatty acids are involved in mediating temperature-induced membrane alterations, and reveal steps in the fatty acid unsaturation pathway that appear to have key roles in the acclimatization of membranes to high temperature.
One of the most prevalent environmental challenges encountered by plants is the exposure to a broad range of temperatures. Plants use a variety of anatomical, metabolic and cellular strategies to deal with changing environmental temperatures. Acclimation to elevated temperatures is mediated at the cellular level in part by the induction of general stress responses, which include the increased expression and activity of heat shock proteins
Early studies of the ability of plants to acclimate to higher temperatures were conducted on plants adapted to high temperature growth
Of the numerous cellular processes likely to be affected by the membrane composition, photosynthesis is probably the most critical. Adjustments in the level of unsaturation of thylakoid membranes may therefore affect the capacity of plants to adapt to elevated temperature conditions in order to avoid a reduction in photosynthetic efficiency. In this regard, the reaction center of PSII is considered to be the most sensitive component of the thylakoid membrane to thermal breakdown, and the function of the water-splitting D1 protein within PSII has been implicated as the most readily damaged by high temperature
Studies on cyanobacteria have indicated that the mechanism by which temperature mediates compositional alterations in membranes is at the level of transcription. The level of desaturase transcripts in cyanobacterial cells increases in response to growth at low temperature
In this study we examined the leaf membrane fatty acid composition of Arabidopsis in response to temperature. After establishing the changes that occur at different elevated temperatures, we examined a number of mutant lines of Arabidopsis that possess well-characterized alterations in their membrane fatty acid content. The lines studied differ primarily in the degree of unsaturation of various lipids in chloroplast membranes. Examination of the fatty acid profiles of these lines grown at high temperature reveals a regulatory system that mediates membrane compositional changes even in the absence of specific desaturase steps. The results also suggest some general control points that might be important in the mechanism by which the membrane fatty acid unsaturation level is adjusted in response to temperature. In the course of carrying out these studies, we also examined the relationship between membrane fatty acid composition and growth at elevated temperatures.
Elevated temperatures alter the membrane fatty acids of Arabidopsis
Arabidopsis lines were germinated and grown at 17°C for seven days before being shifted to designated temperatures. Total leaf fatty acids were extracted from lines grown at various temperatures for 30 to 35 d, converted to methylesters and analyzed by gas chromatography. Changes in the relative abundance of the major fatty acid species from the Columbia wild-type line grown at 17°C, 20°C, 29°C and 36°C were plotted and are shown in Fig.

Temporal evaluation of membrane alterations induced by high temperature
Based on the substantial changes detected after the shift to elevated temperature, we wished to determine whether these changes occurred on time scales similar to the timing known for new synthesis of fatty acids. To estimate the time required for a temperature increase to induce measurable changes in the membrane fatty acid composition, Arabidopsis seedlings were germinated and grown at 22°C for seven days and then shifted to 29°C. The fatty acid composition was then evaluated in rosette leaves sampled at various times after the shift to elevated temperature by gas chromatographic analysis (Fig.

Time-course analysis of the leaf membrane fatty acid composition in response to elevated growth temperature
Time-course analysis of the leaf membrane fatty acid composition in response to elevated growth temperature. Plants were germinated and grown for 7 d at 22°C before being shifted to high temperature (29°C). Fatty acid profiles of wild-type Arabidopsis were determined by gas chromatographic analysis at the designated times over ten days after the shift to elevated temperature as described in materials and methods.
The time course observed for the fatty acid composition to change in response to elevated temperatures correlates with the time determined for the incorporation of precursors to attain steady state levels in radiolabel feeding experiments

Although the most equivalent comparisons for stability measurements among the different lines would be obtained from those grown at temperatures considered moderate for Arabidopsis, such as 17°C used here, we also determined the TP temperatures for those lines that exhibited enhanced thermal stability at 17°C after growth at high temperature. Since this study revealed clear differences in the membrane fatty acid composition at various elevated temperatures, an indication of high-temperature acclimation based on fluorescence measurements may be evident. Four plants including wild type were grown at 29°C for three weeks before conducting the fluorescence stability tests. The results indicated an increase in the TP temperature from 42.7°C for wild type grown at 17°C to about 44.8°C in plants grown at 29°C (Table
Growth at elevated temperature
Most of the mutant lines used in this study were chosen on the basis of their altered fatty acid profiles in chloroplast membranes. As shown here, reductions in the total level of triunsaturated fatty acids in many lines grown at 17°C reflects the composition of the wild-type line grown at elevated temperature. To establish whether the observed changes translates into improved performance at the whole plant level, growth rates were determined for the lines at various temperatures. Growth rates were determined only during the first six days after the shift to elevated temperatures in order to maintain equivalent membrane fatty acid compositions of the lines before changes occurred in membranes during acclimation to high temperature (Fig.

Several clear alterations are evident in the membrane fatty acid composition in response to high temperature growth. A decrease in trienoic fatty acids, including strongly diminished 16:3, produced exclusively within the prokaryotic pathway in the chloroplast, is consistent with the general decrease of polyunsaturated fatty acids in response to high temperature. Concurrent with the reduced accumulation of trienoic fatty acids at high temperature is an increase in linoleic acid, 18:2, and an increase in 16:0 (Figs.
It is remarkable that these general alterations are observed even in mutant lines that are deficient in steps early or late in the desaturation pathways. For example, the profile of
Previous characterizations of all of the individual mutant background lines used in this study have clearly indicated the primary lipid species acted upon by the specific desaturase (or acyltransferase) activity missing in each mutant (Table
Temporal basis for temperature-induced membrane alterations
The time required for the fatty acid composition to adjust to high-temperature growth conditions demonstrated that major alterations in leaf membranes do not occur rapidly in response to elevated temperature. The ~60-h period before changes become evident in the fatty acid profile corresponds with the occurrence of new lipid synthesis and turnover and therefore does not suggest a mechanism by which temperature induces modifications of existing membrane fatty acids. These results are also consistent with labeling studies that show fatty acids produced by the prokaryotic pathway accumulate prior to those synthesized via the eukaryotic pathway. The abrupt changes in 16-C fatty acids beginning 60 h after the shift to high temperature compared to the gradual and more continuous alterations observed for 18-C fatty acids (Fig.
Membrane composition in response to temperature in mutant lines
The fatty acid composition resulting from high-temperature growth in the different genetic backgrounds reveals a complex regulatory system. Thus, despite deficiencies in several enzymatic steps in the different mutants, the membrane fatty acid composition undergoes adjustments similar to those observed in the wild type in response to elevated temperature. The similar increase in 18:2 levels after high temperature growth in the
The fatty acid profiles of several mutants grown at high temperature suggests that the control of flux of fatty acids from the eukaryotic pathway is partly responsible for the changes observed in 18:2 and 18:3 due to temperature. In the
Similarly, in the
The fatty acid composition of the
Membrane fatty acid composition has a role in enhancing photosynthesis to tolerate high temperature
Studies conducted on the ability of plants to acclimate to elevated temperature have mainly focused on components most likely to affect the stability of photosynthetic electron transport, particularly PSII. In this respect, the composition of the chloroplast thylakoids is expected to be important in the thermal tolerance of photosynthetic electron transport
Measurement of PS II activity during leaf heating was used here as a sensitive indicator of the thermostability that might be conferred by the different membrane compositions. In this case, the temperature at which the quantum yield of PS II electron transport collapses (TP) was determined in intact leaves. The fluorescence measurements were conducted on plants grown at 17°C, to minimize variation and other potential responses, such as increases in the synthesis of heat shock proteins that might be induced at higher temperatures. In addition, only at the 17°C growth temperature were differences observed in the total membrane unsaturation level among the different lines tested as estimated by the double bond index, which might suggest that the largest influence of the fatty acid composition occurs at lower and more moderate temperatures.
Measurements of a single physical parameter attributable to alterations in the membrane composition have often not correlated with results apparent in whole plant performance tests. Similar to the results presented here, Murakami, et al.,
A number of processes are called into play in response to stresses such as high temperature. Induction of heat shock proteins serves as one countermeasure to respond to elevated temperatures
Although decreases in the amounts of trienoic fatty acids may be an important determinant for plant thermal tolerance, lines possessing elevations in other, distinct fatty acid species, exhibit different characteristics. A triple desaturase mutant of Arabidopsis demonstrated that all trienoic fatty acids in leaf membranes are not essential for growth at low temperature
The results relating to growth performance at high temperature in this study are noteworthy in view of the fact that Arabidopsis is not considered a high temperature tolerant plant
This study has shown that temperature precisely modulates the membrane fatty acid composition and these changes occur via mechanisms that are not profoundly affected by a number of mutations in the fatty acid desaturation pathway. These observations support the idea that the unsaturation level of plant membranes plays some role in enabling the plant to tolerate elevated temperatures but other characteristics of membrane lipids will likely also be important. Examination of a number of fatty acid desaturase mutants also suggests that alterations in the unsaturation level of membrane fatty acids in response to growth temperature apparently occurs by controlling the level of desaturase activity at several steps within the lipid biosynthetic pathway as well as by modulating inter-compartmental flux between the chloroplastic and cytosolic pathways.
Plant material and growth conditions
Arabidopsis lines were grown in environmentally controlled chambers (Conviron, Inc.) adjusted to a given temperature under continuous light at 120–150 μmol m-2 s-1. Seeds were sown on pots containing vermiculite-perlite mix (1:1:1) potting soil irrigated with a commercial fertilizer at every third watering. For growth in pots at elevated temperatures, seeds were germinated and grown at 17°C for seven days and then shifted to growth chambers adjusted to the respective temperatures and set to maintain humidity levels to at least 80% or higher, which was found to be essential to maintain growth at temperatures above 32°C. These chamber-grown plants were utilized for determining leaf membrane fatty acid compositions and for analyzing fluorescence yield characteristics. Growth rates of seedlings were determined on lines germinated and grown in Murashige and Skoog salts media (Sigma) containing 1% sucrose and 0.7% agar. Surface-sterilized seeds were plated, treated at 4°C for 2 to 3 days to synchronize germination, and grown for 16 d at 16°C in a growth chamber before shifting to elevated temperatures. Light intensity remained constant at 60 μmol m-2 s-1. Four seedlings were sampled at days 0, 2, 4 and 6 d after the shift to elevated temperatures and were dried for 2 d at 70°C before weighing. The relative growth rates (ω-1) were calculated as the slope of the natural log of the seedling dry weight plotted over time in days. Growth rate determinations for seedlings grown at 22.5°C and 30°C were conducted 3 separate times to obtain SE and growth rates determined for 28 and 34°C were conducted once.
The Arabidopsis mutant lines used in this study are listed in Table
Fatty acid analysis
For each determination, at least two plants were used as a source of leaf material for extraction and analysis. Three mid-to-fully expanded (2 to 5-cm long) rosette leaves were harvested from each plant by removing approximately one-third of the leaf and immediately storing at -80°C in Teflon-capped tubes until needed. Preparation of methyl esters from these leaves and gas chromatographic analysis of the resulting extracts was performed using established procedures
Fluorescence measurements
Chlorophyll fluorescence was measured using an Opti-Sciences OS500-FL pulse modulated fluorometer (Opti-Sciences, Inc. Tyingsboro, MA). A custom designed aluminum heating block was constructed to hold an Arabidopsis rosette leaf, the associated optical cables and the temperature probes to conduct the leaf chlorophyll excitation and fluorescence measurements. An Arabidopsis leaf (~2.4 cm long) was fitted into a recessed (~0.5-mm) portion of the heating block to prevent damage to the leaf section. An ethylene glycol solution was circulated within the block to control temperature. The block and clamp module also provided an adjustable fixture to stably hold the leaf of a potted plant during the measurements.
The photosynthetic thermostability of the different lines was evaluated by determining the transition point temperature of fluorescence quantum yield (TP). An attached rosette leaf was fitted into the thermally controlled heating block and fluorescence was monitored with a saturating light pulse (0.8 s duration) every 90 s. After stabilization at 29°C (4–5 pulses), the temperature of the heating block was increased at a rate of 0.75°C min-1 to a final temperature of 48.5°C using a digital temperature control unit (Omega Technologies Co. Stamford, CT). Leaf temperatures indicated were measured with a thermocouple in contact with the leaf surface. Quantum yield was calculated by the equation F'ms-Fs/F'ms according to Genty

There were a disproportionate number of Hmong in America who reported night visitations by the dab tsog demon and over half of the Hmong immigrants also reported having episodes of sleep paralysis.
I have suffered from sleep paralysis several times in my life but my episodes increased after spending four days and three nights in the infamous Sallie House in Atchison Kansas. It is one of the most disturbing and terrifying feelings in the world. These experiences peaked my curiosity to find out more about the similarities between sleep paralysis and sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome.
During my research on this subject, I found that most Anthropologists identified the Hmong immigrant deaths attributed to the tsog tsuam demon, as sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome.
So where does sleep paralysis come into play in regards to SUNDS? According to some medical experts, one probably triggered the other and it is believed that the Hmong immigrants were scaring themselves to death in their sleep. They also believe that sleep paralysis reinforced the Hmong immigrants' belief that they deserved to die. So in other words, the negative thinking in relation to the mind-body connection creates a phenomena in which your health gets worse by focusing and thinking negatively. A self-fulfilling prophecy if you will.
We also know that beliefs are powerful. Believing in evil spirits makes them real to the believer. Those who died of SUNDS were immigrants with religious backgrounds. Interestingly enough, studies show that it did not afflict those who did not believe in spirits. Medical experts also believe that severe and ongoing stress, along with intense feelings of powerlessness could have contributed to the phenomena. Especially among people whose culture and belief system reinforces the notion that evil spirits have the power to kill men who do not fulfill their religious obligations.
I will be researching more on this subject in the near future.

Taking the elevator to the 95th Floor of Two World Trade Center is something that had turn a mindless, unconscious human activity for all of us who worked location. Our offices at Fiduciary Trust had consisted of the 90th to 97th Floors, with a few empty floors in between. I had been working at Fiduciary for terminated two years, and it had turn a 2nd household to me.
The Call
8:40 a.m.I arrived at my escritoire once I noticed that no one else in my batch was in attendance. It was inactive early, and reposeful a bit in the past the day began was what I would in general do on any regular weekday. Yet, what I contemplation was the start of any otherwise trivial working day became much much. It began as the utmost terrific day of my existence.
8:43 a.m. I standard a call upon from a associate of excavation and I had told him I had move into employment first to ending a work I was method on the period of time earlier. When asked how the component of my day looked, I replied, "I'm going to have a truly overbusy day ahead of me, so I'd larger open it." Almost forthwith after I decorated up the phone, near was an outstanding fit - the growl of an heavier-than-air craft motor.
It's derisive that scorn how lofty up we were, we just about detected any craft overhead. Yet today, we heard this one. The subsequent groan we detected was what plumbed close to an earthquake, next a implements of war. A woman on the Northeast broadside of our horizontal surface screamed, and as I like a shot arose from my seat to see what the turmoil was, our windows splintered. "What was that?!" I screamed. Someone yelled, "I imagine a level rightful hit Tower 1! Everybody get out of the building!" I grabbed everything I brought in next to me that antemeridian (my pocketbook and case), and ran towards the near exit, which was roughly speaking 10 feet from my escritoire.
I was moving for my life, not wise to what would arise next, once I saw my associate Lori running out as fit. We oriented for the elevator, past I stopped. I asked her, "Shouldn't we be winning the staircase in an emergency similar this?" and she replied,"No! Just get in the elevator! C'mon!" We dashed into the elevator and control the door as our collaborator Andrew ran in. All cardinal of us looked at one different in doubtfulness. An eerie notion affected in my organic structure. For a moment, I plan I was dead; as if our Tower, 2, had been hit. Then the elevator stopped. The doors wide-eyed to the 90th Floor.
Occupying the 90th floor were the Legal and Human Resources departments. The lift movable barrier opened, and all that was heard were the screams of panicked team. Lori and I pleaded beside them to come into the elevator, but no one did. The door past blocked. Why didn't they go? This interrogate haunts me every day, due to the reality that heaps of the culture on the 90th Floor who were there that day are lacking.
We landed on the 78th Floor, which was one of the foremost lifting device banks at Tower 2. Lori and I ran to the nearest lifting device we could find, and shoved our way in. A female person in facade of us said, "That's it! No more people!" I looked aft me, and location were two men - scrambling to get on other elevator.
When the lift stopped at the bottom floor, I looked to my left. Liberty Street, which is the important approach previously owned by umteen Trade Center employees, was in shards. Debris from the Tower and business office writing overcome the walkway. I watched as payment guards led race away from the highway outside, once I took my cell touchtone phone from my pocketbook and titled my manager, Joanie.
Still not truly wise to what happened, I said, "Joanie! I ruminate within was an blowup in the World Trade Center!" She asked me to clutch as she upset on the small screen. "Oh my God! A aircraft lately hit the Trade Center!" For some reason, I asked her if I should go support upstairs. Joanie resolutely said, "No! You go house and telephone me as shortly as you can. "When I finished the call, I heard human on the PA arrangement say that in attendance were no complications beside Tower 2 and people should go put money on to their desks. I decided to amble out. I saw a few co-workers in the lobby, as well as my previous manager, Chris, who inquired if I was ok. Andrew, who vindicatory just now underwent knee surgery, became my stone.
The Journey
9:03 a.m. As Andrew and I sedately proceeded to walking from the building, the growl of other airplane motor hovered overhead. We watched in fearfulness as one more aircraft pigeon into the upper floors of Tower 2. While every person ran frantically to rummage for a safe location, a group action of inhabitants ran towards me and knocked me into a metal bar. Andrew swiftly upraised me up once in the spatial arrangement was the macabre imitation of relatives jumping from windows to their deaths. I fast grabbed Andrew and asked, "Where do we go?" He calmly replied, "The South Street Seaport. It's the lone slot that's not dangerous for now."
10:03 a.m. We walked to Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport, wherever some took place of protection. Almost all cell touchtone phone employ was down, yet I remembered I had the skilfulness to send and get electronic mail messages on my Palm Pilot. Shaking uncontrollably, I e-mailed my soul Joe to speak about him I was wonderful and asked that he telephone my clan to let them cognize I was ok.Andrew went to a payphone in the vicinity to ring up his family, once a ordinal grumble came. Tower 2 looked as if it was about to come down on us; onlookers by the lots ran in alarm towards the end of the pier, all set to bounce into the wet beneath. "We're trapped," I said to myself. "This is it." The Tower accidentally collapsed onto itself, which straightaway gave me the inaugural to solon my crossing house.
We settled to set in train walking up the FDR Highway, which was the were full next to people, for the most part distraught and beaded in soot, production their way uptown. Andrew inverted to me and said, "Tower 2 is active to unwellness." I understand that in the bombshell of what I and so more new folks retributive witnessed, I insensibly cask my herald. We had hardly made it last the Seaport once Tower 1inevitably folded.
12:30 p.m. After two and a fractional work time of close and difficult to get cell phone service, we hurt up on 35th Street and 3rd Avenue, in Midtown. Andrew noticed a cab operator who had force up on the edge in foremost of us and united to propulsion me locale - at no fee. I said a a little passionate bye-bye to Andrew, who in this unhealthiness time had truly been near for me. I was prideful to cognise that he would be competent to purloin the take sett to New Jersey. To Andrew, God Bless You. You're an supernatural being.
3:10 p.m. We in the end arrived in my neighborhood and made one ultimate despairing make an effort to send for into my voicemail. There were 13 messages left from kinfolk and friends. It was the primary example that day once I broke fluff and cried. I had survived a terrorist dive. I'm alive.
The Recovery
Although I have yet to acquire content for the setting around the attack, I've scholarly that show done speech communication has change state my strongest sales outlet to reclamation. I've taken into weighty intellection all my friends and colleagues terribly annoying to achieve me during that unbelievably annoying day of September 11th. Every chat has concluded with a artless "I respect you," or "I abstain from you," and the moving piling has been formidable. To my clan and friends, I impart you from the bottom of my bosom. I worship you all, and God Bless You. I Will Recover.

Artifice (Alternatively known as The Artifice Order) was a military organisation created by Deathro Lameth and JTWALKER Deerhunter under the pseudonyms of Solanum Flux and Nihlus Dier. It was a relatively short-lived project, although the ideas behind the project were initially much more far-reaching than the state Artifice eventually reached at the time of its death.
Artifice was founded as a small organisation by Deathro Lameth, who has gone by a multitude of names throughout his time on the Teen Grid. He formed it with a handful of prominent former-Black Talon personnel, and a number of experienced individuals who were refugees from other fallen superpowers. He sought to create an apogee by taking what he most liked about Black Fire Army and The Black Talon (In his early days) and using these positive elements to their full potential. However, Xanthos Exonar caught wind of the project, and began negotiations Lameth, who eventually merging Artifice with Exonar's group, Blitzreich in exchange for his cooperation, Lameth was given the role of Second in Command.
Later, after the fall of both Blitzreich and Infrastructure (The group Exonar co-lead after the death of Blitzreich), Lameth resurfaced on the alternate account Solanum Flux. Progressing quickly, he managed to recruit JTWALKER Deerhunter as a second in command, and once again secured many of his former personnel. Inspired by the stagnation that had swept across Teen Grid, he attempted to create an organisation which brought activity back to the Teen Grid. Lameth managed to secure a logo for his military and a parcel in Lodestone with JTWALKER's help.
Artifice, though never even having participated in any physical combat, set the stage for the grid status of that particular era. Rendine, one of the several surviving large groups was very much Nihlis' reincarnation of Artifice.
