PARALLEL PATHS: Energy Reform in Egypt and Jordan
Exclusive Interview with H.E Khaled Irani, Former Energy Minister of Jordan, exploring the remarkable similarities between Jordan's past experience and Egypt's current challenges.
The Dilemma of Egypt's Refining Goals
For Egypt, becoming a regional petrochemical and refined product exporter would be a dream come true. If this happens, Cairo would be a heavy-hitting geographic power player, able to lessen the burden on the state budget at a time when refined product imports are less accessible in foreign reserves.
Egyptian Industries Between the Dollar Crisis and the Energy Challenges
Going into 2016, most of us are reflecting on the year gone by and looking forward to the year ahead. Many in the Egyptian industry, however, may be less than optimistic about 2016. The past year has been difficult for Egyptian industry, which has been consistently inhibited by dollar and energy shortages. Despite efforts to alleviate these challenges, these problems are not likely to be fully resolved any time soon. Looking to the year ahead, it may be helpful to recap the roots of these problems, how they affected Egyptian industry in 2015 and their possible outlook for 2016.
Egypt Is Not Suffering from $30 Oil. Here Is Why.
Having reduced its foreign arrears from $7b in 2013 to $3b in 2015, discovered the largest Mediterranean natural gas field, and received investment commitments for a combined $24b from BP and Eni, Egypt's energy sector seems to have a positive outlook, while other neighbors suffer.
Optimizing Egypt's Fuel Distribution Scheme
Drivers of cars, taxis, micro buses, and trucks know the drill by heart. Line up in front of a petrol station, wait for hours, fill up your tank, and drive away. Fuel shortage crises in Egypt erupted on countless occasions in the last few years. The government seems in denial that these crises are genuine; reflecting on deficiencies in the country's downstream sector. Yet, it has started implementing a new fuel distribution system. The government awaits its new smart cards scheme to do the trick, and generate a massive improvement in fuel supplies to end customers.
New Generation Concept: VOS Navigates the Oil Price Waves
We have just left behind a difficult year for Offshore Shipping. Extremely harsh business conditions have been forcing many companies all across the industry to implement often dramatic cost-saving and re-structuring measures. In 2016 the global Oil & Gas market continues with the alignment of operations and investment strategies on the basis of the ongoing, low oil-price reality. However, market fluctuations are part of the business in which we operate and the key to success is being flexible enough to add value in all circumstances. In such a challenging environment, Vroon Offshore Services (VOS), a leading maritime offshore-services provider with over fifty years' experience in the business, has continuously been developing and enhancing its world-class offshore-support solutions.
Across the Technological Horizon: R&D Solutions for Egypt's Downstream Sector
Global technological breakthroughs in nano-applications are accelerating in the post-production or downstream sector of the oil industry. Egypt desperately needs to utilize these advances to solve many of its outlying economic problems related to the petroleum industry. The question is whether the scientific and industrial infrastructure of the country is suited for riding this technological wave that encompasses everything from petrochemicals to refining to midstream and even upstream.
Policy Options and Prospects for Egypt's Downstream Sector
Egypt's refining industry suffers from a series of mismatches in the downstream sector. Refineries are not designed to process certain grades of crude that nonetheless are supplied to them. Business sources explain that the same holds true of petrochemicals. The end result of this has been excess capacity, underperformance, underinvestment, and technological backlog.
Entering a New Period of Uncertainty
«Upstream» and «downstream» are general business terms referring to a company›s location in the supply chain. The closer to the end user a function or firm is, the further downstream it is said to be. Raw material extraction or production are elements of the supply chain considered to be upstream. The oil and gas supply chain is commonly referenced in this manner. The upstream companies identify oil and natural gas deposits and engage in the extraction of these resources from underground. These firms are often called exploration and production companies. Refiners represent the downstream element of the oil and gas supply chain.
Protecting and Commercializing Petroleum Technology: Recent Developments in Intelligent Energy Law
Intelligent Energy Law is a key element of the continuing progression of "Intelligent Energy" solutions and innovations. It can be defined as the strategic planning and application of international law and contracts to maximize investment returns on advanced technology and know-how through the creation, acquisition, commercialization and protection of intellectual property.
Petrozenima Muzhil Field Development
South Abu Zenima Petroleum Company (Petrozenima) has been established as a joint venture company between Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) and National Petroleum Company (NPC) to carry out Muzhil Field Development in South Abu Zenima Concession.

ProsThe sheer number of flash card sets ensures that students will always have something to study, and, if not, they can easily create their own.
ConsMay require extra teacher supervision/moderation; user-generated content isn't always reliable or appropriate.
Bottom LineA decent study tool for learning and memorizing facts; extensions to support higher-level thinking would be a nice addition.
Teachers can create classes, add students, and save resources within Quizlet. Once a class is created, students can access and take teacher-created quizzes. For $24.99/year, teachers can track each student's progress. Additionally, Quizlet offers videos showing how teachers can use the site both during class time and out, and shares advice on how to best use Quizlet for each core subject.
Common Sense Reviewer
Foundation/nonprofit member
A mix of options breaks up the potential monotony of studying. If students tire of flash cards, they can switch to a game or create a test. Still, the site's emphasis on memorizing terms and definitions is fairly dull.
There are six "study modes." The ability to create custom flash cards helps students take ownership over their learning. While Quizlet won't engage higher-order thinking, it can be good for factual learning.
You have to dig a little to find the helpful information (it's kind of hidden at the bottom of the page), but Quizlet offers detailed supports and a Help Center that answers most questions on how to use the site.
This is a flash card tool, so choose wisely: Some lessons are better suited to this format than others. Encourage students to use Quizlet on their own time as homework or as a study aid or to create their own custom flash card sets for live use in the classroom, especially with the tool's built-in competitions. You might also encourage your students to create their own flash card decks to share with the class; this could be a nice way to help students collaborate as they prepare for a cumulative exam in your course or on an AP test. As your students learn new information, push them to move toward higher-order thinking, using what they've learned from the flash cards to apply, analyze, question, and create. If you use the Quizlet Live features for in-class formative assessment, make sure you encourage students to reflect afterward. See our Teaching Strategies page, Make Formative Assessment More Student-Centered for tips.

Quizlet is a web database (and Chrome app) of over 400 million flash card and quiz sets created by students, for students. All the information is user-generated and includes both text-based and visual study materials. The range of topics covered on Quizlet is pretty amazing. Students can browse these sets by category (Arts & Literature), then narrow down by type (Books), then specific subject (The Great Gatsby). For each set of flash cards, Quizlet also auto-populates a few study activities, including matching and fill-in-the-blank games and timed quizzes. For the $14.99/year Plus version, users don't see ads in their study sets, can upload custom images and voice recordings to questions, and can create unlimited study groups and classes (vs. eight for the free version).
While students can browse for study materials from users around the world, many teachers make and share custom study sets just for their classes. There are other great features for teachers, too, including live polling and team-based quiz competitions that make Quizlet more in line with its quiz-game competitors such as Kahoot!. For $24.99/year, the Teacher version offers all the Plus features, plus progress tracking.Read more Read less
Quizlet is super simple, but that's part of its appeal. Teachers and students can instantly browse existing content or upload their own. Just like real flash cards that you make or borrow from a friend, quality can vary, but on the whole, the public content is pretty good and occasionally great. However, there are also plenty of unhelpful, and even inappropriate, sets floating around the site. Students who go out of their way to search for inappropriate content will be able to find it, so teachers will need to monitor students' use. With that said, if teachers help scaffold students' studying, offering sets custom-tailored to class content, there's potential for Quizlet to be a very useful supplement to classroom instruction.
Quizlet's social features are nice. Students can compete against their friends and discuss sets online, and entire classes can share teacher-created sets. Options for adding photos from a large pool of licensed Flickr photography make Quizlet an especially good tool for subjects with heavy visual components, such as anatomy or art history. At its core, this is a flash card tool, so its impact as a transformative learning tool is likely limited. But if you use Quizlet's many features thoughtfully, this could be a worthy, flexible tool to add to your teacher tool belt.Read more Read less

Buttercream -- Too Airy -- Any Way To Fix?
Decorating By wyovol Updated 25 Jan 2010 , 4:13pm by KASCARLETT
I made the cake for my son's birthday and the buttercream ended up too airy (for lack of a better word). It was definitely fluffy and I had air pockets when I frosted the cake.
I started with my basic crusting buttercream recipe and I know that I whipped it for too long while trying to get the right color.
Would adding more sugar to the icing have fixed this? Or would I have to start over? It tasted fine, but was more of a whipped frosting than I wanted.
1 reply
You can add more powder sugar.

Ok so we went to the Susan G Komen Spaghetti fund raiser tonight. Then a trip to our local craft shop. Where I bought several pink boa's and some hair things. I am going to be one flashy lady. I need to find joy in tomorrow. This is a healing for me and I find myself fighting to hold back tears for my sister Patty that I lost 7 years ago. My sister and I were 11 months and 2 weeks apart in age. We shared everything growing up even early childhood school classes until they decided we needed to be split up. As adults we lead very different lives, When she found out she had a lump in her breast I was one of her first phone calls. Even with all the time apart she knew she could count on me to be there to help her. After all isn't that what sisters/family are for. She died in my bedroom with me by her side. Letting go isn't easy, I suppose it isn't supposed to be either. Healing takes a long time, it comes and goes with the wind, sometimes your ok and other times you just want to cry.
We will have to post some pictures after the day is done.

"Excellent experience"
About: Southampton NHS Treatment Centre Southampton NHS Treatment Centre Southampton SO14 0YG
Posted by Anonymous
I recently had a steroid injection into my hip that was done under theatre conditions. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the hospital in all areas. The staff were the right blend of caring and professional and I felt my wellbeing was important throughout. The team were efficient and the procedures in place were robust to ensure
I was the correct person, that the correct hip was marked and because of the procedure that I wasn't pregnant. I would be happy to recommend the hospital for procedures.

Sairam. I would like to share one of my dreams with you. It was night time and I was standing on a rooftop. Suddenly meteors started falling from the sky and I started to run to a safe place. Then the same dream started all over again. This time, before I started to run, I saw a huge image of Swami in the sky looking about 40 years of age, wearing red robe.

Here's the new update of Toontrack EZmix including both Windows and Mac OS X versions.
Following the success of Toontrack's EZmix, the new and completely overhauled EZmix 2 continues to build on the same fundamental idea: having pro-designed effect chains for instruments and channels found in every recording session combined in one powerful mixing tool. With the vast collection of ready-made presets, mixing music is not only easy and incredibly fast – you end up with results second to none.
All the previous functionality and content from EZmix is still intact and working in EZmix 2. The major difference however, is that the new and revamped version comes with settings based on high-tech mastering effects, new reverb algorithms, guitar/bass amp and cab simulation, a completely revised interface and a large core content boost. Essentially, EZmix 2 is a mixing engineer, mastering suite and guitar/bass amp all rolled up into one package.
EZmix 2 is a powerful package that combines a multitude of quality studio effects with the know-how of professional engineers. As soon as you select one of EZmix's pre-designed settings, a complex chain of effect units instantly loads seamlessly in the background. See Details for in-depth information.
The professional touch
Making professional mixes has never been easier! Having a vast array of available effects to choose from, the signal-chain settings in EZmix 2 and all EZmix Packs were carefully crafted by seasoned mixing engineers. Lend some pro secrets and platinum record magic to your music by letting seasoned veterans do the tweaking for you!
Guitar/bass amp and speaker simulation
EZmix 2 has a large amount of ready-made settings based on some of the most classic vintage and contemporary guitar and bass amps, speakers and stomp boxes. Whether you are working stand-alone or in a host; plug your instrument straight into your sound card and select a preset!
Low CPU usage
Combing several plugins on multiple channels can slow down even the fastest computer. With EZmix 2 you only use ONE instance on each channel instead of MANY and end up reducing your CPU usage to a minimum. With EZmix 2 you can make flawless mixes on low resource systems or in mobile situations!
System Requirements:
Windows XP SP3 or newer, Pentium 4 or Athlon processor with 512 MB RAM
Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, G5 with 512 MB RAM (Intel-based Mac recommended)
40 MB of free hard disc space. Audio Unit, VST or RTAS host application. Professional sound card highly recommended.

Venture targets MSOs with MPEG-4-based digital cable
Seven high-profile companies pooled their products to form e-BOX Corp., a Tokyo, Japan-based joint venture that will supply North American and Asia Pacific operators with a digital cable system based on MPEG-4 technology.
E-BOX is comprised of five publicly traded companies and two private ones, each of which will supply products or services from its area of expertise.
Pioneer Corp. and Sharp Corp. will contribute advice on cable infrastructures, headend equipment and digital set-top boxes to the new system.
National Semiconductor Corp. will pitch in silicon processors for the advanced set-top boxes, based on its Geode technology, it says.
Sigma Designs will supply the MPEG-4 decoder and video processing technologies for the advanced set-top boxes, and CMC Magnetics will use its manufacturing background for designing and developing the headend equipment and set-top boxes.
Privately held iVAST Inc. will pitch in encoding, authoring, distribution, playback and system software for MPEG-4-based movie and video content with embedded interactive features, the consortium says.
Finally, Modern VideoFilm Inc., also privately held, will supply post-production services and MPEG-4 compression and authoring. It also will contribute the hub for movies-on-demand and other MPEG-4-encoded content offered on the platform.
E-BOX will be advised by Comcast Cable Communications, which will supply technical support to define the architectural requirements. The cableco will conduct field trials of the new services early next year, the consortium says in a statement.
Spokesman Craig Tanner, also VP of cable business development at Sharp Laboratories of America's Vienna, Va., office, says the venture is focusing mostly on dealing with Comcast for now, which, he says, has the scale and expertise to give the project guidance.
"So we haven't exposed it to too many other operators," he says, although the venture did hold conferences with others at January's CES show in Las Vegas. The response convinced the venture it was on the right track.
Comcast is not an investor or shareholder, but an advisor, he adds.
The venture intends to build a complete infrastructure, including headend equipment, system software, content-protection systems and digital set-top boxes for scheduled and on-demand MPEG-4 content and interactive services.
Those services will include VOD, designed to have the look and feel of interactive DVD. Services also entail e-commerce, HDTV and high-capacity personal video recording.
The system can be used on any cable systems without limitations, such as size, Tanner says. It will be marketed as a set: with the MPEG-4 signals, interactivity, servers and other components working together, it can't be deployed piecemeal. Costs aren't available: "We aren't at that stage yet," he says.
Tanner would not disclose financial terms or who invested how much. The venture doesn't have a specific market date.
Each company of the partnership has a member on the board, which appointed Dr. Masao Sugimoto as president. It hasn't hired anyone else yet, he adds.
The venture will be based in Tokyo, largely because two of the partners are Japanese corporations, Tanner says.
The e-BOX consortium says it's consulting with several content providers, including Hollywood studios and KCTS/Seattle Public Television.
Tanner says it will release more details at the National Cable & Telecommunications Association's Cable 2002 show in New Orleans in May.

Other stuff about me: I have a close-knit group of friends that are as close to me as brothers. I try to score theatre tickets off my colleagues whenever I can. I like small bars with large beer selections over loud clubs. I still mostly eat like a 15 year-old (though the body isn't bouncing back quite so easily these days), but I grew up with 2 Italian grandmothers so when I actually cook it's elaborate and it feeds 12.
My producing career has given me the opportunity to work on some pretty amazing projects, you should totally ask me about them. I still act/direct from time to time and write whenever I get inspired, but it's not really the focus of my career anymore.
I'm pretty observent and perceptive as well. I generally have a good read on what the people around me are thinking.
Side note: although I played sports in high school we never had letterman jackets much less wore them around while indoors. This makes me wonder if this is an entirely contrived TV scenario, like how a senior looks at an unopened letter from a potential college and is too nervous to open it not knowing if he got in when everyone knows that acceptance letters come in huge thick envelopes that say welcome in big letters, thus removing all tension from the situation... or maybe just my school didn't have those jackets
If I had to answer though it would be the following:
Book: Catcher in the Rye
Movie: The Godfather
TV: Breaking Bad
Food: Italian
I should also mention that I probably skipped this part of your profile...not because I'm not interested, rather because this seems like the kinda thing we could actually talk about.
-the spot (it's this little park near my house where I grew up...think any random sitcom about high school kids and whatever they called the spot)
-barbaques and fire-pits
-my cell-phone (because I now have no idea what anyone's phone number is without it...which is wierd cuz when I was a kid I remember knowing my friends phone numbers by heart, calling them on my house phone, having their parents answer, asking to talk to whoever I was calling, having them yell for whoever needed to come to the phone, hearing in the distance "I'm coming," them picking up the other line, hearing them say "I got it," then wondering if their parents actually hung up the other line...that was a bit of a digression but its funny to think that that entire experience was an everyday occurence and is now gone forever.)
-a story to tell
-sunscreen (I spend way more time outside than my pale skin can handle on its own)
Real answer: Friends are getting older, settling down, getting married, having kids and the like. Still spend weekends together when it works out, but lately been spending some weekends just hanging home. Definitely not the type to cruise into a bar solo.
Since it's come up a couple of times I thought I'd just put this out there: I'm not really a religious person, so it's not important to me to have the same upbringing as a potential partner. That said I totally understand that it is for some people, so I will say that my mother is Catholic.

Is the risk taking of HIV-infection influenced by income uncertainty? : Empirical Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
This paper questions the positive relationship between HIV prevalence and income in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, we hypothesize that a greater economic instability would reduce the incentives to engage in self-protective behaviors inducing people to increasingly take the risk of HIV-infection and hence causing a rise in HIV prevalence. We provide a simple model to stress on the effects of an increase in income risk in the incentives for protection. We test the prediction using a panel of Sub-Saharan African countries over the period 1980-2001. It is shown that the epidemic is widespread in countries that experience a great macroeconomic instability over the whole period. When introducing income instability, wealth is devoid of predictive power and the puzzle of the positive relationship between income and prevalence in Africa is lifted. Additional finding states that the risk taking of HIV-infection increases when the individuals are facing frequent and large crop shocks.

In its 10th day as a fish storm, Nadine continues to spin rather purposelessly in the far-eastern North Atlantic, toward the Azore Islands that Columbus passed on his way to the New World 520 years ago.
Nadine was designated a named storm -- one with winds of at least 39 m.p.h. -- back on Sept. 12, and as of this afternoon, an "Oscar" isn't even a gleam in the atmosphere's eye.
Near the climatological peak of hurricane activity, that represents the longest lull between the development of fresh storms in the Atlantic Basin since Aug. 1.
"We are right now in the very heart of the hurricane season and it is a little bit unusual not to have anything going," said Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist and the official spokesman at the National Hurricane Center.
"We're thankful for that."
"The models aren't showing anything at all coming for the next 10 days," said Jeff Masters, meteorologist at the popular Weather Underground site.
But Feltgen sounded like someone who was waiting for other shoes to drop. "I'd be willing to bet that this is not the end," he said. "That would be too easy."
So far this been quite an active season. This is the 14th storm to earn a name, and the normal for the entire June 1-Nov. 30 season is about 11.
Feltgen and Masters said the lull could be related to the El Nino developing in the tropical Pacific.
During El Nino, surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific become warmer than usual, heat the overlying air, and generate strong upper-air winds from the west that can rip apart potential hurricanes.
Some indications are that the shear will pick up the end of the month, Masters said. "It does look like a quiet rest of September," he added. That doesn't mean the season's over; September lulls aren't all that unusual, he said.
One thing that can be counted on is a general westward shift of tropical-storm activity.
The "Cape Verde" season, during which waves bound off the west African coast and scare the daylights out of East Coast residents is winding down.
As the season progress, storms tend to form farther westward. For now, however, the Atlantic tropics remain generally quite. Could that continue?
"I'd be thrilled," said Feltgen, "but I wouldn't bet the bank on it."

Can Lupus Cause Sudden Lightheadedness And Nausea When Standing
I have lupus. Why do you think prednisone always helps my lightheadedness &brain fog? No exact cause of these symptoms has been found .
?lupus cerebritis?: Lupus can involve brain directly and cause either low grade cognitive problems or even more severe delirium. Prednisone is both an immune modulator and anti-inflammatory, and subdues these sxs. However, there could also be underlying metabolic or chemical imbalances secondary to your regular meds or even the lupus, and that too might respond. ...Read more

Even if your previous lupus symptoms have been stable, it's best to go get checked out. Don't wait, because of the dizziness and low BP. ...Read more
On prednisone 4 lupus.Helps resolve lightheadedness/black outs.Started on 40mg.Stuck at12.5 mg despite being on methotrexate.Sx return at10mg.Normal?

Most Helpful Girl
It needs to be corrected. "There are two kinds of fears, one that doesn't let us live, and the other that prevents us from drowning into decadence."
I like it. Sometimes fear doesn't let us live and you worry constantly of the future and the other that helps motivate us so that we don't fail.00|00|0

"This time, as a token of his master's love, the messenger brought a handful of earth and a handful of salt, an ancient Bactrian custom that was observed persisting as late as the seventeenth century, according to the accounts of Tavernier and Chardin. But Arsaphes, driven by the obduracy of the princess and feeling victory within his grasp, added to the traditional offering two partridge eggs, one painted blue and the other red. The princess easily saw their significance, mysterious as it may seem to us. The colored eggs meant that though women may not look exactly alike, in the end they taste alike.
"Princess Heloise was worthy of the captain's admiration. She knew how to answer insolence. She sent back the lieutenant with two flasks which looked as though they contained water, but when Arsaphes tasted them, he found that while the first was indeed full of water, the second held the strongest and headiest rye brandy he had ever drunk. He then realized that while people may no doubt look alike, some are insipid and dull while others burn and intoxicate."

The other problem...
"The other problem with [Rikki Tikki Tavi]--not that there are any real problems with the story, it's a good story...—but it's sad to think of such a likable mongoose eating holes in the baby cobra eggs. The baby cobras hadn't killed anything or frightened anyone. They would when they hatched out, because that's what cobra snakes are designed to do naturally. But a story should not have a small, tiny, curled-up barely alive animal be killed unless it has done a terrible thing, which it can't have done because it hasn't even uncurled itself from the egg. And the story isn't about what cobras do naturally, anyway, since it has cobras speaking. In real life they don't speak, at least in English. A cobra couldn't call itself 'Nag' or 'Nagaina' because the cobra's tongue is so thin it couldn't make an N sound. A cobra would probably call itself 'Lah,' if anything."

The more things change...
"The TRUMP movement (not party) is the strongest by far. Why? Because it takes advantage of the weakness of "those who blindly desire something different" using a revolutionary, amorphous mass of men who are both non-conscientious and irresponsible. On the other side, it takes advantage of the fear and greed of the grand bourgeoisie and turns that amorphous mass into armed bands against DEMOCRATS. It attracts all those who feel the weight of the OBAMA regime without being able to count upon themselves to transform it. It gives the illusion of force through violence; it gives the illusion of order through defending the family, private property and religion; it gives the illusion of protection with its promise of dignified comfort for all. Its fundamental character is inconsistency. Since it is the "reflection of the very inconsistency of the REPUBLICAN PARTY in their present circumstances," its language is understandable to all those desperate men who flock to TRUMP: PUNDITS, the petite bourgeoisie of the city and country, almost all farm laborers, the majority of the unemployed in the cities, among whom are many adolescents. To the romantic young it offers the mirage of noble deeds, to the brutish the implied promise of beatings and killings. It promises high prices to the farmer, low prices to the consumer. In its substance, it is a nationalist fanaticism rooted in a feeling which the AMERICANS have experienced, whether they are right or wrong: the certainty that the capitalism of the victorious DEMOCRATS is crushing them much worse than REPUBLICAN capitalism."

Terror, full agony of
"I was alarmed by so formidable a social occasion, but less alarmed than I had been a few months earlier when I was left tête-à-tête with Mr. Gladstone. ... As I was the only male in the household, he and I were left alone together at the dinner table after the ladies retired.

Since then I have never again felt the full agony of terror."

An alternative to raking leaves...
"We have sometimes wondered where the idea came from to powder the leaves with snake essence, but after some fruitless speculation we have eventually concluded that the origin of customs, especially when they are useful and successful, is lost in the mists of time. One fine day the city must have realized that its population was inadequate for the collection of each year's leaf fall and that only the intelligent utilization of the mongooses, which abound in the country, could overcome this deficiency. Some functionary from the town bordering the forests must have noticed that the mongooses, completely indifferent to dead leaves, would become ravenous for them if they smelled of snake. It must have taken a long time to reach this conclusion, to study the reaction of the mongooses to the dead leaves, to powder the leaves so that the mongooses would go after them with a vengeance."

Why paintings are different...
"And then why La Tour, who painted the same painting twice, had him hiding an Ace of Diamonds in the Louvre, and an Ace of Clubs in the Kimbell Museum. That's correct, isn't it Pierre? I'm not mistaken?"

Sad woman...
"She tries harder, this twenty-eight-year-old woman, to remember what it is to be happy, and with alarm she realizes she no longer knows, that it's like a foreign language she learned in childhood but has now forgotten, remembering only that she knew it once. When was the last time I was happy?"

"This is not to say, however, that the significance of all his remarks was always transparently clear; perhaps the most gnomic was his comment on Peter Geach, Elizabeth Anscombe's husband. When Mrs Bevan asked Wittgenstein what Geach was like, he replied solemnly: 'He reads Somerset Maugham.'"

Wittgenstein's fear
"The Oxford philosopher, John Mabbott, recalls that when he arrived in Nottingham to attend the conference he met at the student hostel a youngish man with a rucksack, shorts and open-neck shirt. Never having seen Wittgenstein before, he assumed that this was a student on vacation who did not know his hostel had been given over to those attending the conference. 'I'm afraid there is a gathering of philosophers going on in here', he said kindly. Wittgenstein replied darkly: 'I too.'"

Taunting Wittgenstein
"They [fellow grade school students] ridiculed him by chanting an alliterative jingle that made play of his unhappiness and of the distance between him and the rest of the school: 'Wittgenstein wandelt wehmütig widriger Winde wegen Wienwärts.' ('Wittgenstein wends his woeful windy way towards Vienna'). In his efforts to make friends, he felt, he later said, 'betrayed and sold' by his schoolmates."

Cosmic visceral humming vs. world of bees...
"Later that night with Rosalie asleep from despair, he presumed, he went back into the tiny kitchen more windowless than ever and plastered his ear to the wall. No distinct sound, only a cosmic visceral humming, greater, far greater than the ploy of mere neighbors, as if the world were bees and nothing but. Overhead there was a brief, almost apologetic, scraping of what sounded like chair against tiled floor. He shrugged this away as beneath the contempt of his vigilance. Beyond this scraping there was no message, as from a beyond, on how to go about proving the yet-to-be fabled potency of his vocation was more than a hyposecretion of sebaceous glands. Of course the scraping of chair could mean: You have to think of more than yourself, there's Rosalie and the child in her belly. But the scraping could also mean: Don't bother demeaning yourself through exertion."

In praise of boy art...
"Only with Michelangelo Merisi, known as Caravaggio, was there a sudden flood of fully-realized sexual--especially homoerotic--art. Not since antiquity had "boy art" been realized with such assurance."

The importance of cleaning book shelves...
"I entered one of the narrow aisles. For a while I proceeded in darkness, which was illuminated here and there by the glow of putrefying books. I switched on my torch and let the beam wander over the bookshelves. In the damp air the pages of the books curled, swelled, frayed and turned to pulp, expanding and forcing the bindings outwards, tearing them and squeezing out through the holes. Covers were falling apart and leaves prolapsed from them, lolling out of the books like tired tongues, falling on the ground and mixing with leaves from other books, putrefying and forming a soaring pile of oozing, phosphorescent, malodorous compost, through which I had to force my way waist-deep at times. The wooden shelves on which the books stood cracked and twisted. In the putrefying insides of the books, in dark crannies between the leaves, seeds of plants became fixed and sprouted in the damp darkness, sinking their roots into the paper... What was most nauseating in these stuffy and fetid surroundings was not the realization that a strange accidental calamity was occurring with rampant nature devouring the fruits of the human spirit; what gave rise to increasing anxiety was rather the fact that the dreamlike transformation of books into dangerous and unemotional vegetation laid bare the malignant disease secretly festering in every book and every sign created by humans."

"It is within my financial power to buy that place [Weight Watchers across the street], and to fill it with steaks, fill it with red steak, all of which I would and will eat. The door would under this scenario be jammed with a gnawed bone; not a single little smug psalm-singing baggy-skinned apostate from the cause of adiposity would be able to enter. They would pound on the door, pound. But the bone would hold. They'd lack the bulk to burst through. Their mouths and eyes would be wide as they pressed against the glass.

goodbye to all that...
"Case endings will gradually free themselves from their demeaning position and shine once more in their ancient glory. Bit by bit they will separate themselves from the roots of nouns and become what they were at the beginning -- the invocation of demons. The roots of nouns will loose their significance and be pronounced more and more quietly, until they will eventually become extinct. All that will remain in language are the former endings and people will realize that all the rest is actually superfluous. All that will be heard in the quiet of the halls is the rustling of curtains in the draft and the dreadful names of demons that we now call declension endings."

a tyranny of reason?
"The trouble with coercion through reason, however, is that only the few are subject to it, so that the problem arises of how to assure that the many, the people who in their very multitude compose the body politic, can be submitted to the same truth. Here, to be sure, other means of coercion must be found, and here again coercion through violence must be avoided if political life as the Greeks understood it is not to be destroyed. This is the central predicament of Plato's political philosophy and has remained a predicament of all attempts to establish a tyranny of reason."

After months of training and preparing for the big race, 25,000 runners will lace up their sneakers to run in Sunday's Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. About 4,500 will run the full 42 kilometre marathon, 12,000 will run the half-marathon, and 8,500 the 5 km.
It's obviously physically excruciating to complete the 42 km route. But it's also mentally gruelling.
"This is definitely a mind-body thing; there's no real separation between the two," says physiologist Greg Wells, an assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Toronto, author of Superbodies: Peak Performance Secrets from the World's Best Athletes.
"The wonderful thing about that is that you can use the body to control consciousness, by doing things like relaxation breathing. Or you can use the brain to control the body by thinking positive and motivational thoughts."
The Star asked Wells, who has run three marathons and two half Ironman Triathlons, to share the physiological stress runners experience from start to finish.
The Starting Line
In the anxiety-filled minutes before the start, adrenalin is released, the runner's heart begins pounding, there's increased blood flow to the muscles, pupils dilate, the airways in the lungs open and the liver dumps sugar into the blood. Runners bounce on the spot, jump, shake and feel the urge to go to the washroom — which explains the long lineups at the porta-potties.
Wells says he rarely remembers much about the start of a race. "All the distractions sort of disappear and you really only see a few things … it's difficult to remember the environment." The sensation of having tunnel vision is likely a stress response: the mind focused on a few critical things and blocks everything else out.
It's crucial runners not get too revved up in the hours before the race, because by the time they reach the start line they'll be exhausted. To relieve stress, many walk, swing their arms and gently move to relieve tension. Inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly also help.
"A big challenge is to keep calm, cool and collected in the hours leading into the race and allow the excitement to build slowly so that it's at its peak at the start," says Wells.
1 to 5 km
The adrenalin coursing through the runners' bodies makes them want to run faster than normal. But they have to fight the urge.
Proper pacing ensures runners use their aerobic system, not the anaerobic one. This is ideal, because it means muscles get enough oxygen and can go longer without getting tired. Plus, the aerobic system efficiently produces energy by breaking down fats and sugars.
Bursts of speed, on the other hand, make the body use the anaerobic system. But when the body's working in a higher gear, there isn't enough oxygen in the muscles, so it relies on other reactions for energy. And similar to a car releasing exhaust when the engine is running, the anaerobic system produces waste such as carbon dioxide, potassium and lactic acid. The problem is that this waste, especially the acid, tightens and tires the muscles.
If a runner can't speak, it's a good indicator that he is using anaerobic metabolism and needs to slow down. Some runners also use GPS watches that tell them their running pace. And some use a heart rate monitor to help them keep close watch over their ticker.
"The most common mistake runners make is going too fast, too early," says Wells. "It's critical for people to avoid tension because muscle tension leads to fatigue, decreased blood flow and poor technique."
5 to 10 km
Dehydration isn't a concern yet, but to prevent the problems later on, runners need to get into a rhythm of rehydrating about every 30 minutes. They will drink water and sports drinks to replace the fluid and electrolytes lost through sweat. Because some sports drinks have a lot of sugar and electrolytes, it's wise to alternate between the two. (But when fatigue hits, many runners switch to sports drinks only for the sugar.)
Not hydrating will bring on muscle cramps later in the race and wreak havoc with the body's temperature. One theory is that overheating prompts the brain to send fewer signals to the muscles, which ultimately limits intensity and forces runners to slow down. Their muscles feel like they're made of lead. Even if the mind is telling the body to run faster, it simply can't.
Or as runners say: "The mind is writing cheques the body can't cash."
Runners need to keep their breathing in check, because hyperventilating diverts blood away from the arms and legs to the breathing muscles. And less blood to the arms and legs means less oxygen and more fatigue.
To avoid breathing faster than they have to, they keep their pace down and try not to think negative thoughts or get anxious. "The key is pacing and staying in a good frame of mind," says Wells. "Staying relaxed, mentally and physically."
10 to 30 km
By this point, the body should be humming along at a good pace. But this is also where the battle of the mind usually sets in. People get bored, lose focus and start thinking of how much further is left to go, or how painful each step is.
Runners need to focus on the present and push out any other thoughts. One trick experienced runners use is to focus on something in their field of vision, such as a lamppost, and concentrate on reaching it. Then they repeat that trick with something new.
Agonizing pain — be it in the legs, knees or back — can purify a runner's thoughts, forcing them to focus on achievable goals, such as reaching that lamppost or Stop sign, says Wells.
"When you're out for a nice easy training run you can absolutely let your mind wander, but when you're in a competition you have to stay focused," says Wells. "Unless you're focused on the task at hand, you will fail."
Around the 10 km mark is also when runners will start refuelling with carbohydrate-packed energy bars, gels and sports drinks. The sugar helps them replenish the glucose they lose while running.
Runners who don't manage their sugar levels will end up with fatigued muscles and a tired brain, making it hard to focus and push forward. And those who don't rehydrate, refuel or keep their body temperature in check risk extreme fatigue, typically called hitting the wall.
It's crucial runners are in the zone — the ideal balance between revved up and relaxed, physically and mentally — by the midway point. They'll also need to avoid bursts of speed, overexerting themselves on hills, darting around runners or trying to catch up to others to prevent jump-starting the anaerobic system.
30 km
During this last stretch, most runners increase their pace. Despite feeling fatigued, dehydrated and overheated, they'll push themselves and try to run through the pain, knowing they're almost at the end.
"The best (runners) in the world try to time that point of total, complete exhaustion at the finish line, or maybe just slightly before the finish line," says Wells.
Speeding up to the finish line inevitably brings on muscle cramps and fatigue. For many, the brain wants to stop; so does the body.
"Everyone probably reaches a point where they experience that fatigue, and they either slow down or keep going," says Wells. "This is the battle. This is what makes the marathon so interesting and challenging."
A lucky few will be rewarded for this final push with a rush of endorphins. The hormones improve performance, block pain receptors and create a feeling of peace, euphoria, and happiness — the elusive runner's high.
The Finish Line
Ahh. The relief. Some runners collapse out of sheer exhaustion at the finish line — the so-called droppers. Those who manage to keep upright will have to fight the urge to stop and sit down. It's important they keep walking for about 15 minutes, to cool down gradually.
"(Runners) go from an incredibly high level of intensity down to nothing, and their bodies need time to adjust," says Wells.
For up to 72 hours after the race, marathoners' bodies are in a state of inflammation. To help their bodies repair, it's crucial they stay hydrated and eat well.
Their muscles are filled with micro-tears, and red blood cells have broken down. Their immune system rushes to counteract the inflammation.
But all of that is actually good: It stimulates the body to repair itself and become stronger and fitter.
The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon:
The number one pre-race myth
The biggest myth around sports nutrition is what to eat on the day of the race, says physiologist Greg Wells.
What a runner eats on the day of the big event has very little impact on performance. The most important thing is not to eat anything that's different than normal or anything that's going to upset the stomach.
The reality is that what a runner has eaten in the six months leading up to the event is much more important because that's what impacts their training.
"I'll take someone who has eaten perfectly for six months then has a bad meal on the day of the race over someone who has six months of poor nutrition and eats perfectly on the day of the race," says Wells.
"If you're going to commit to an event like the marathon, nutrition has to be good for months leading into the event. That's the benefit of doing (a marathon) – it changes a person's overall life health. If you have overall great health in your life, you're going to perform well."

Fruit Kolacky
Top Review by lucid501
This recipe was good, but a little hard to work with. It makes a TON of dough (I ended up with 100+ cookies) and it was pretty hard to mix and to roll out (very sticky). However, it did make beautiful kolacky, so I would probably make it again. Using fruit preserves was really easy and yummy--we used apricot and blackberry. This is a good recipe, but I think if I make it again I will cut the recipe in half, and maybe it will be easier to work with. Thanks! (Edited to add: We dusted the second round with powdered sugar, and they were even more yummy! Despite the dough issues, I will make these again).
