One of the most important characteristics in automatic speech recognition (ASR) lies in the type of the speech. Discrete speech consists of isolated words, which are separated by silences (usually 100ms or more), while with continuous speech, words will be spoken without silences. The advantage of discrete speech is that the word boundaries can be determined exactly. Dynamic Time Warping is a technique for aligning some new recording with some known one. DTW is a cost minimization matching technique, in which a test signal is stretched or compressed according to a reference template. DTW is widely used in the small-scale embedded-speech recognition systems such as those embedded in cell phones. The reason for this is owing to the simplicity of the hardware implementation of the DTW engine, which makes it suitable for many mobile devices.

The seller offers its buyer a credit period to settle the account which attracts more buyers and boosts market demand. However, the offer of credit period leads to default risk for the supplier. In this study, the seller is the decision maker. The demand is considered to be increasing with time and is dependent of permissible trade credit. The default risk in incurring in sales revenue is incorporated in objective of profit maximization. The necessary and sufficient conditions to obtain the seller's optimal decision about setting the permissible credit period and purchase quantity are discussed. A procedure to determine the optimal solution is outlined. Finally, the numerical example is given to illustrate the theoretical results and sensitivity analysis is carried out to deduce some managerial insights. © 2014, Operational Research Society of India.

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing | Year: 2015
In this paper, we propose a new approach for multiresolution fusion using contourlet transform (CT). The method is based on modeling the low spatial resolution (LR) and high spectral resolution multispectral (MS) image as the degraded and noisy version of their high spatial resolution version. Since this is an ill-posed problem, it requires regularization in order to obtain the final solution. In this paper, we first obtain the initial estimate of the fused image from the available MS image and the panchromatic (Pan) image by using the CT domain learning. Since CT provides better directional edges, the initial estimate has better edge details. Using the initial estimate, we obtain the degradation that accounts for the aliasing between the LR MS image and fused image. Regularization is carried out by modeling the texture of the final fused image as a homogeneous Markov random field (MRF) prior, where the MRF parameter is estimated using the initial estimate. The use of MRF prior on the final fused image takes care of the spatial dependencies among the pixels. A simple gradient-based optimization technique is used to obtain the final fused image. Although we use homogeneous MRF, the proposed approach preserves the edges in the final fused image by retaining the edges from the initial estimate and by carrying out the optimization on nonedge pixels only. Therefore, the advantage of the proposed method lies in preserving the discontinuities without using the discontinuity preserving prior, thus avoiding the use of computationally taxing optimization techniques for regularization purposes. In addition, the proposed method causes minimum spectral distortion since it learns the texture using contourlet coefficients and does not use actual Pan image pixel intensities. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by conducting the experiments using subsampled and nonsubsampled CT on different data sets captured using Ikonos-2, Quickbird, and Worldview-2 satellites. © 1980-2012 IEEE.

The knowledge of the physical properties of liquid Al-Mg binary alloys is of high scientific and practical importance. The Ziman formalism is used to study the concentration dependent electrical resistivity of liquid Al-Mg alloys through an electron-ion potential. Partial structure factor is calculated by using Ashcroft-Langreth equation. The results are compared with experimental findings and the effect of screening function on electrical resistivity is discussed. This reveals that the resistivity data of liquid Al-Mg system are in qualitative agreement with the nearly-free electron picture. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

The knowledge of the physical properties of liquid Pb-Bi alloys and those of eutectic composition especially, is of high scientific and practical importance. In present paper temperature dependent electrical conductivity as well as thermoelectric power of liquid Pb-Bi eutectic (Pb- 55.9%Bi) is studied in the framework of Ziman formalism through an electron-ion potential. Partial structure factor is calculated from the Faber-Ziman approach. The dependency of conductivity is interpreted alongwith various screening functions. The results are compared with experimental findings and the effect of screening function on conductivity is discussed. This elucidates that the conductivity data of liquid Pb-Bi system are in qualitative agreement with the nearly-free electron picture © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) | Year: 2014
In this paper, we propose a fast method for pan-sharpening based on difference of Gaussians (DoGs). The Panchromatic (Pan) and the multi-spectral (MS) images are used to obtain a pan-sharpened image having both high spectral and spatial resolutions. The method is based on two level DoG on the Pan image. First, the Pan image is convolved with Gaussian kernel to obtain a blurred version and the high frequency details are extracted as the first level DoGs by subtracting the blurred image from the original. In order to get the second level DoG, same steps are repeated on the blurred Pan image. The extracted details at both DoGs are added to MS image to obtain the final pan-sharpened image. Experiments have been conducted with different values of standard deviation of Gaussian blur with images captured from different satellite sensors such as Ikonos-2, Quickbird and Worlview-2. A relatively new quality measure with no reference (QNR) index along with the other traditional measures are evaluated to check the efficacy of the proposed algorithm. The subjective and the quantitative assessment show that the proposed technique performs better, fast and less complex when compared to recently proposed state of the art techniques. © 2014 IEEE.

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing | Year: 2015
We propose two approaches of multiresolution image fusion using multistage guided filter and difference of Gaussians (DoGs). In a multiresolution image fusion problem, the given multispectral (MS) and panchromatic (Pan) images have high spectral and high spatial resolutions, respectively. One can obtain the fused image using these two images by injecting the missing high frequency details from the Pan image into the MS image. The quality of the final fused image will then depend on the method used for high frequency details extraction and also on the technique for injecting these details into the MS image. Specifically, we have chosen the guided filter and DoGs for detail extraction since these are more versatile in applications involving feature extraction, denoising, and so on. The detail extraction process in the fusion approach using a guided filter exploits the relationship between the Pan and MS images by utilizing one of them as a guidance image while extracting details from the other. The final fused image is obtained by adding the extracted high frequency details to the corresponding MS image. This way, the spatial distortion of the MS image is reduced by consistently combining the details obtained using both MS and Pan images. In the fusion method using DoGs, the high frequency details are extracted in the first and second levels by subtracting the blurred images of the original Pan. The extracted details at both DoGs are added to the MS image to obtain the final fused image. Advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed and the comparison of the results is shown between the two. The results are also compared with the traditional and the state-of-the-art methods using the images captured using different satellites such as Quickbird, Ikonos-2, and Worldview-2. The quantitative assessment is evaluated using the conventional measures as well as using a relatively new index, i.e., quality with no reference which does not require a reference image. The results and measures clearly show that there is promising improvement in the quality of the fused image using the proposed approaches. © 2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Hillary wasn't necessarily a bad candidate.
For the past 100 days, and the 100 before that, all I've heard from pretty much the entire left as well as the entire media is that there is no one more stupid, no one more embarrassing, no one more bombastic, no one more unqualified, no one more flat out STUPID...than Donald Trump.
And Hillary got her ass kicked by him, and he kicked it using the electoral college.
Do you have ANY idea how BAD of a candidate you need to be to lose like that?
Clue: quite possible the worst in the history of all that was and all that will ever be.

It's game day in San Pedro Sula and you can feel the excitement in the air. Just a few yards outside the team hotel, Honduran flags are waving (and being sold), horns are honking and people are buzzing. There is no doubt that this is one of the biggest-ever soccer events in Honduras. The newspapers today will filled with stories, analysis and photos previewing the match. One headline read "Historic Day" and another "Today, it will be reality" meaning the qualification for the World Cup. So much for impartial journalism? There are a handful of American fans who have traveled to Honduras and they will have their work cut out for them combating the wall of noise that will greet the U.S. team at Estadio Olimpico. Game day is actually a mellow one for the U.S. team, a time to relax and focus, eat a couple meals and of course have a pre-game meeting. The real fun begins as the sun begins to set tonight. We hope you were able to find a bar or pub showing the match somewhere near you. If not, you can of course follow along on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WATE) – Twelve people have been indicted in North Carolina for allegedly being part of a marriage fraud ring in which people would come to Sevier County, as well as Swain and Jackson counties in North Carolina, to get married – in order to help people become legal citizens.
Named in the indictment are: Ruth Marie Sequoyah McCoy, Timothy Ray Taylor, Golan Perez, Ofir Marsiano, Kaila Nikelle Cucumber, Jessica Marie Gonzalez, Jordan Elizabeth Littlejohn, Kevin Dean Swayney, Ilya Dostanov, Ievegenii Reint, Shaul Levy, and Yana Peltz.
Each faces varying counts of marriage fraud and conspiracy to commit marriage fraud.
Investigators say McCoy would work to find legal United States citizens while Marsiano and Perez worked to locate people wanting to become legal citizens. Those people would cross state lines to meet in Sevier County to marry, or would meet in other locations in North Carolina.
Some reportedly paid upwards of $3,000 for fraudulent weddings to become legal citizens.

Magus review. http://www.ClassicGameRoom.com
Shop CGR shirts & mugs! http://www.CGRstore.com
Magus review. Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow review of Magus for the PlayStation 3 developed by Black Tower and Aksys Games and published by Aksys Games.
After years and imprisonment and torture, a man known as Magus is finally broken free. The strange part is what his mysterious liberator tells him—that he's actually a god. Once he starts firing magic beams from his hands, it starts to make more sense to him. Magus splices basic third-person shooting gameplay into the framework of an action-RPG, offering players constant upgrades and weapon/item management. Magus has three different types of magic, which gives him three different primary attacks. In addition, each type of magic also has several special attacks that drain said magic, and these are most enjoyable element of the game. One lets Magus hover in the air above his enemies, another lets him reanimated dead enemies to fight for him and yet another turns him into a giant, allowing him to stomp enemies like ants. Magus is a single-player action RPG.
This video review features video gameplay footage of Magus for the PlayStation 3 and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.

Professor Alia Al-Saji
The IAS fellowship has allowed me to place my thinking on time within a wider interdisciplinary context. In particular, it has permitted me to weave connections with other disciplines.Professor Alia Al-Saji, McGill University
IAS Fellow at St Cuthbert's Society, Durham University (October - December 2012)
Alia Al-Saji is associate professor of Philosophy at McGill University. Her philosophical research brings together and critically engages 20th century phenomenology and French philosophy, on the one hand, and contemporary critical race and feminist theories, on the other. Running through her research is an abiding concern for the themes of time and embodiment, the intersection of which Professor Al-Saji seeks to philosophically elaborate.
While her doctoral research at Emory University, completed in 2002, focused on the German phenomenology of Edmund Husserl, Professor Al-Saji has since published extensively in the areas of French phenomenology and philosophy - on the philosophies of Henri Bergson and Maurice Merleau-Ponty in particular - as well as in the field of feminist theory. She has published in journals such as Continental Philosophy Review, Philosophy and Social Criticism, Research in Phenomenology, Southern Journal of Philosophy, and the Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology.
In 2009, Professor Al-Saji was awarded a fellowship at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France to carry out her research, and since 2009, she has been a fellow at the Institute for the Public Life of Arts and Ideas at McGill University. Professor Al-Saji was elected to the executive committee of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP), the second largest philosophical association in North America in 2009. She is currently a co-editor of the Symposia on Gender, Race and Philosophy, and the Feminist Philosophy section editor of Philosophy Compass.
Professor Al-Saji's research traces two interrelated trajectories. The first trajectory of her research explores questions of embodiment, memory and intersubjectivity in terms both of affectivity and perception.
The second trajectory of Professor Al-Saji's research develops a phenomenology of what has been called "cultural racism". In this vein, she offers a feminist analysis of representations of Muslim women in contemporary Western contexts by questioning the ways in which race and gender are at play in attitudes toward the Muslim headscarf or "veil". Her recent articles have dealt with the "the French headscarf affair" and the use of a rhetoric of freedom to justify the U.S.-led war on Afghanistan.
While at the IAS in Durham, Professor Al-Saji will be completing her book manuscript entitled Bodies and Memories: Bergson, Merleau-Ponty, and the time of difference. This manuscript not only presents a sustained argument for thinking inter-subjectivity temporally, but also brings together her two research trajectories by asking after the ethics and politics of memory and perception. In this vein, the project draws on phenomenological, feminist and critical-race analyses of objectifying-specifically racializing-ways of seeing in order to understand their limits and the possibilities for "seeing differently".
IAS Fellow's Public Lecture - The Power of Hesitation: Bergson, Merleau-Ponty, and seeing differently
This paper asks how perception becomes racializing and seeks the means for its critical interruption. Professor Al-Saji's aim is twofold: first, to understand the recalcitrant and limitative temporal structure of racializing habits of seeing, a structure that restricts their responsivity and improvisational openness. While racializing perception can be understood to build on the intentionality and habituality of all perception (as Linda Martín Alcoff has shown), its distinctive intransigence and de-humanization call for further phenomenological study. In this paper, Professor Al-Saji argues that racializing perception is both more and less than habitual perception: more in its representational over-determination, less in its affective closure to difference and change. Drawing on the phenomenologies of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Frantz Fanon, she will show how this perception is reductive and naturalizing; it constitutes racialized bodies as bodies that cannot be seen otherwise. As a counterweight to the closure of racializing seeing, the second aim of this paper is to uncover resources within the temporality of perception for a critical awareness and destabilization of racializing habit. Reading Henri Bergson and Merleau-Ponty in dialogue with Iris Marion Young and race-critical feminism, Professor Al-Saji finds in hesitation the phenomenological moment when racializing habits of seeing can be internally fractured. Hesitation, she claims, can make visible the exclusionary logic of racializing and objectifying perception, countering its affective rigidity and opening it to critical transformation. Hesitation thus opens the possibility for perception to become at once critically watchful and ethically responsive.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. — More than 1,000 employees of Gordy's Market grocery chain have been notified they could lose their jobs if a buyer isn't found.
The Chippewa Falls-based grocery business is in receivership. A letter to the state Department of Workforce Development from receiver attorney Michael Polsky lists 25 affected grocery stores — all except for the Osseo location. Some of the stores have already closed or are being sold to another grocer.
The Leader-Telegram reports Gordy's main supplier, Nash Finch, filed a lawsuit last week saying it's owed more than $86 million.
Festival Foods, of Onalaska, is buying three Gordy's stores in Eau Claire and Tomah. Six others have closed in Eau Claire, Hayward, Stanley, Spencer and Richland Center.

Everything I needed
By no means was my room glamorous or sugar coated, but then again it wasn't the dreaded service station shack of rumour and tale of old.
It was clean, comfortable and warm, with an excellent shower, cosy bed and all the other essentials you find in a hotel. It was extremely beneficial to know the hotel offers a number of complimentary items for free when roaming businessmen like myself pack in a hurry and forget our razors or toothbrushes. I did not stay for food, nor did I particularly stay in the room for any purpose other than to sleep and wash, but nether the less the experience was far superior to sleeping in my car in a layby. The hotel offers complimentary parking for each day you are staying, which is extremely welcoming as the service stop charges nearly £21 per 24 hour period. The service of the staff is the reason this particular hotel scored so highly. The lady on reception was extremely well mannered, highly conversational and very efficient. She had plenty of knowledge on the local area and when my room key rejected me due to a new system, she solved the problem in a few moments. I would highly recommend this hotel over staying inside Cambridge if you are purely looking for business.

Hotel is well situated within easy reach of centre of Cambridge.
This was our fouth stay at a Days Inn and we would definitely stay again. Room was very clean, shower was hot and forceful, air con and heating work great, staff very friendly and helpful.

Excessive mould in bathroom.
Mattress was abhorrent, huge gap between the two singles joined to make a king, could feel springs etc. No mattress protector used.

Difficult to find a member of staff on site even in main daylight hours.
This was particularly frustrating when my key wasn't working, but occurred frequently when trying to deal with other problems.

Good value
Nothing fancy, but very good value for money.
Days Inn Cambridge - A14/M11
Perfect place to stay while on your travels.
Very spacious clean room BUT - Remote control batteries had run out, hair dryer did not work and should have been serviced back in 2009, very cold room, room entry card expired before it should have done, cleaner left items in room in error, and the alleged non-smoking room stunk of cigarette smoke,
Cheap but not comfortable
It was value for money in that we had a family room 2 adults 2 children &2 dogs.
The room was fairly clean, the carpet in the corridor was very thread bare and the corridor smelt strongly of cigarettes, which was much worse in the room.

Problems with Sewerage
Arrived at hotel late at night, toilets not working in reception area and when entered corridor to room this stank of sewerage.
Room itself was not really clean with sheets looking as if they had not been changed and window surprise, surprise, left open. When smell mentioned to desk staff they said they would check when undertaking night rounds and seemed to deny any knowledge of problem. The smell existed along two corridors and was physically tasted. On asking to leave hotel, the desk staff did arrange for us to move to another Days Inn where we had no problems/

An artist in every sense, BANKS is set to reveal her stunning new live set and visual this Friday, April 14thin the desert, at Coachella Festival.
Set to hit the GOBI TENT at 7:10PM, BANKS will be kicking off weekend one with a very special performance in every sense. Performing songs from her critically acclaimed albums, "Goddess" (Harvest Records) her stunning debut, and "The Altar," (Harvest Records) her latest and most brilliant full-length album which dropped in September 2016, BANKS is set to make her mark as one of America's most compelling and innovative artists of our time when she hits the GOBI TENT on Friday evening.
Last Friday, the artist unexpectedly dropped a brand new song titled "Crowded Places." Entering the Top 10 of the Alternative Songs Chart on Friday, the haunting new track was also featured on Sunday night's episode of GIRLS on HBO. Watch the scene HERE and get "Crowded Places" on iTunes, Apple Music and Spotify now.
BANKS' current album "The Altar" represents the next evolution of BANKS. With its gothic transmissions of smoky and spacey soul, the album claimed spots in the Top 20 of the Billboard Top 200 and Top 10 on the Top Alternative Albums Chart, earning praise from Time, Harper's Bazaar, NPR, V Magazine, and many others. It includes the singles "Trainwreck," "Gemini Feed," and more.
Earlier this year, BANKS uncovered the music video for The Altar's most recent single "Trainwreck." The video has already reached more than 6 million combined streams. Watch it HERE.
Watch HERE an exclusive behind the scenes and backstage interview with BANKS in London at her SOLD-OUT Roundhouse show from earlier this year.

If you've built your own ecommerce solution or are using a platform we don't support yet, you can integrate with Klaviyo using our JavaScript and server side APIs. Keep in mind that any event can be implemented, but we strongly recommend the following buckets:
- Use our JavaScript API for the following
- Website Activity - when customers visit your website.
- Viewed Product - when customers view products.
- Checkouts Started - when visitors start the checkout process (used to trigger abandoned cart emails).
- Use our server side API for the following
- Orders and Order Items - purchase events and the items that comprise those purchases.
NoteKeep in mind that the detailed data you send to Klaviyo along with website, purchase, and checkout events will determine how you can filter and segment these events in Klaviyo. To understand how data must be structured so that key event details are available for segmentation, check out this guide.
Website Activity
To track website activity, find your public API key by navigating to Account > Settings > API Keys. Your public key is six characters long. Add the following snippet of code to your main store template so it's included on all pages. You should place this snippet either with other analytics scripts you use or right before the closing
</body> tag.
Make sure to replace
API_KEY with your Klaviyo account's Public API key:
var _learnq = _learnq || [];
_learnq.push(['account', 'API_KEY']);
(function () {
var b = document.createElement('script'); b.type = 'text/javascript'; b.async = true;
b.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://' : 'http://') + 'a.klaviyo.com/media/js/analytics/analytics.js';
var a = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; a.parentNode.insertBefore(b, a);
If visitors or customers can create accounts for your store, add the following snippet directly below the first snippet:
var _learnq = _learnq || [];
{% if user.is_logged_in %}
_learnq.push(['identify', {
$email: '{{ user.email }}',
$first_name: '{{ user.first_name }}',
$last_name: '{{ user.last_name }}',
{% endif %}
Depending on the types of templates you use for your website, the {% if user.is_logged_in %} and {{ user.email }} syntax may be different. Using the template language available, you want to check if the person viewing the current page is logged in. If so, you should output their email and name, if available. If you don't have name information, remove those two lines and the trailing comma after the email "$email" line.
Viewed Product
If you'd like to set up a browse abandonment flow or build segments based on product browsing data, you'll need to add JavaScript event tracking for a Viewed Product metric. On your product page template, add the following snippet:
<script text="text/javascript">
var _learnq = _learnq || [];
var item = {
Name: '{{ product.title }}',
ProductID: {{ product.id }},
Categories: {{ category in product.categories|json }}, // The list of categories is an array of strings.
ImageURL: '{{ product.image_url }}',
URL: '{{ product.url }}',
Brand: '{{ product.brand }}',
Price: {{ product.price }},
CompareAtPrice: {{ product.compare_at_price }} // If you have a compare at price. You could also include this for a sale or special price.
_learnq.push(['track', 'Viewed Product', item]);
_learnq.push(['trackViewedItem', {
Title: item.Name,
ItemId: item.ProductID,
Categories: item.Categories,
ImageUrl: item.ImageURL,
Url: item.URL,
Metadata: {
Brand: item.Brand,
Price: item.Price,
CompareAtPrice: item.CompareAtPrice
Note that the snippet above uses
{{ }} placeholder syntax, which may need to be altered for your platform. The important part is that product fields are dynamically rendered based on which product page you're viewing.
When you add Klaviyo web tracking to your site, we are only able to track the browsing activity of "known browsers" -- i.e. browsers that have visited and engaged at least once before. There are two key ways we are able to identify a site visitor for web tracking purposes:
- If someone has, at some point, clicked through a Klaviyo email to your website
- If someone has, at some point, subscribed/opted-in through a Klaviyo form
Klaviyo will not track anonymous browsers. After Viewed Product web tracking has been configured for your site, this data will begin populating in your Klaviyo account as known visitors browse your product pages.
Checkout Started
Checkout data is important if you'd like to send abandoned cart emails. When someone starts the checkout process, you'll send Klaviyo an event indicating he/she started checking out. The best place to trigger this event is when someone visits the checkout page and they've "identified" themselves by either logging in or entering an email address.
To start, let's assume someone is logged in. In that case, you'll have already called "identify" as part of the website activity tracking we set up above, so all you need to do is make a track call like the one below.
The Checkout Started event looks very similar to the Placed Order event, except that the "event" is different. You'll want to make sure you include all the details of the line items so your abandoned cart emails can be customized to include pictures and links to all products in someone's cart. It's probably easiest to format the JSON data in the checkout page template where you can access to the cart contents, but other ways of getting the data will work as well. Here's an example track call using our previous order example:
_learnq.push(['track', 'Started Checkout', {
"$event_id" : "1000123", // The cart ID if you have it. Otherwise remove this line.
"$value" : 29.98,
"ItemNames" : ["Winnie the Pooh", "A Tale of Two Cities"],
"CheckoutURL": "http://www.example.com/path/to/checkout",
"Items" : [
"Name" : "Winnie the Pooh",
"Quantity" : 1,
"ItemPrice" : 9.99,
"RowTotal" : 9.99,
"ProductURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product",
"ImageURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product/image.png",
"ProductCategories" : ["Fiction", "Children"]
"Name" : "A Tale of Two Cities",
"Quantity" : 1,
"ItemPrice" : 19.99,
"RowTotal" : 19.99,
"ProductURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product2",
"ImageURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product/image2.png",
"ProductCategories" : ["Fiction", "Classics"]
$event_idshould be a unique identifier for the cart if you have one, typically the cart or quote ID stored in your database
- If you want to include a description of a product, include a "Description" key-value in each line item dictionary
- If someone comes to the checkout page and is still anonymous, which is the most probable situation, you'll need to wait for them to enter their email address to trigger the event above
- If your checkout is spread across multiple pages, you can add the above call on the page in the checkout after they've entered their contact information, most importantly their email address
- If your checkout is on a single page, you might need to monitor the email field for changes.
- For example, you could use jQuery and an event listener like so send the Checkout Started event only after someone enters their email:
var _learnq = _learnq || [];
// Helper function that wraps the big "track" call above.
var trackStartedCheckout = function () {
_learnq.push(['track', 'Started Checkout', {
// Data omitted for brevity, but this dictionary would match what's in the call above.
// Note, this assumes a <form id="payment_form"> and an field <input name="email" type="email" value="" />
$('#payment_form [name="email"]').change(function (e) {
var email = $(this).val();
// Do some light validation. Klaviyo will do more validation when the data is received.
if (email && /@/.test(email)) {
_learnq.push(['identify', { $email: email }]);
Orders and Order Items
To track orders and order details, after an order is placed, you should make a track call to our server-side API. The API requires making an HTTP request with a JSON and base64 encoded payload. Check to see if you can use one of Klaviyo's language libraries, which will automatically handle encoding your API calls. Otherwise, use the built-in libraries for the language you're using to encode your requests.
It is a good practice to send your historical order data to enhance your ability to segment off that data and improve historical accuracy in revenue tracking.
You'll want to send order data to Klaviyo in one of two ways: real-time or in batch.
- Real-time: You'll make requests as soon as an order is placed
- Batch: You should write a script that will run at least once an hour that makes one track request for each order in the last time period
For each order, we recommend you send two types of events: one event called Placed Order for the entire order and one event for each line item called Ordered Product.
As an example, if you were running a bookstore and John Smith placed an order for Winnie the Pooh and a Charles Dickens' Tale of Two Cities, you would make the below track for Placed Order:
"token" : "API_KEY",
"event" : "Placed Order",
"customer_properties" : {
"$email" : "email@example.com",
"$first_name" : "John",
"$last_name" : "Smith"
"properties" : {
"$event_id" : "1234",
"$value" : 29.98,
"Categories" : ["Fiction", "Classics", "Children"],
"ItemNames" : ["Winnie the Pooh", "A Tale of Two Cities"],
"Brands" : ["Kids Books", "Harcourt Classics"],
"Discount Code": "Free Shipping", // Discount code (if applicable)
"Discount Value": 5, // Value of discount (if applicable)
"Items" : [
"Name" : "Winnie the Pooh",
"Quantity" : 1,
"ItemPrice" : 9.99,
"RowTotal" : 9.99,
"ProductURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product",
"ImageURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product/image.png",
"Categories" : ["Fiction", "Children"],
"Brand" : "Kids Books"
"Name" : "A Tale of Two Cities",
"Quantity" : 1,
"ItemPrice" : 19.99,
"RowTotal" : 19.99,
"ProductURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product2",
"ImageURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product/image2.png",
"Categories" : ["Fiction", "Classics"],
"Brand" : "Harcourt Classics"
"time" : 1387302423
- Make sure to replace
API_KEYwith your public API key from https://www.klaviyo.com/integrations
$event_idis a special property which uniquely identifies this event in case you send it to Klaviyo twice; the value should be the order ID from your database
$valueis a special property that allows Klaviyo to track revenue; this should be the total price of the order
- The "Items" array should contain one dictionary for each line item; if the quantity for a line item is greater than one, the "Row Total" should be the "Item Price" multiplied by the quantity
Product URLand
Image URLare optional, but we recommend them in case you want to send post-purchase emails highlighting previous purchases
- For example, if you wanted to send a "Please write us a review" follow-up, displaying a picture of the products purchased and linking directly to them makes it more likely for your customers to follow through
- The "time" should be a UNIX timestamp of the order date and time
- The "brand" and "categories" fields are optional (if you don't have them)
Then for each line item, you should make track call for an Ordered Product event, as well:
"token" : "API_KEY",
"event" : "Ordered Product",
"customer_properties" : {
"$email" : "email@example.com",
"$first_name" : "John",
"$last_name" : "Smith"
"properties" : {
"$event_id" : "1234_WINNIEPOOH",
"$value" : 9.99,
"Name" : "Winnie the Pooh",
"Quantity" : 1,
"ProductURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product",
"ImageURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product/image.png",
"ProductCategories" : ["Fiction", "Children"],
"ProductBrand" : "Kids Books"
"time" : 1387302423
- Note there are two calls, one for each line item. Most of the data is the same as the "Items" array from the Placed Order event.
$event_idin this case should be a unique identifier for the line item for that order. It's common to do that by combining the order ID and the SKU or product ID together. In this case we combined them with an underscore. If you have an order item ID for each line item, you could use that as well.
$valueis the "Row Total" from the previous track call and is the total price of that line item.
- "Product Categories" is very important piece of data because it will allow you to find people who have purchased products from specific categories. This is useful when you have new products and want to send campaigns to people who might be interested in similar products. We recommend that "Product Categories" represents the entire category hierarchy for that product so you can find customers who've purchased from narrow as well as broad categories.
- If you have "Brand" or other attributes about products you might want to use for targeting later, include those as additional key-value pairs in the properties dictionary. In our example, it might make sense to include an "Author" property so we can let customers know about new books from that author or recommend other books by the same author in the future.
At this point, you're tracking the most important order data. If your cart also tracks when orders are fulfilled or shipped, we recommend also sending a Fulfilled Order event. The track call for that event should look the same as the Ordered Product event except the timestamp should be when the order was fulfilled or shipped. This event is useful for doing post-purchase follow-ups which are more coordinated with when someone receives their package. For example, you can send a "How are you liking your PRODUCT?" email two weeks after someone's order has been fulfilled if you know all your orders ship in 7-10 days.
Here's an example track call for a Fulfilled Order event:
"token" : "API_KEY",
"event" : "Fulfilled Order",
"customer_properties" : {
"$email" : "firstname.lastname@example.com",
"$first_name" : "John",
"$last_name" : "Smith"
"properties" : {
"$event_id" : "1234",
"$value" : 29.98,
"Items" : [
"Name" : "Winnie the Pooh",
"Quantity" : 1,
"ItemPrice" : 9.99,
"RowTotal" : 9.99,
"ProductURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product",
"ImageURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product/image.png",
"ProductCategories" : ["Fiction", "Children"]
"Name" : "A Tale of Two Cities",
"Quantity" : 1,
"ItemPrice" : 19.99,
"RowTotal" : 19.99,
"ProductURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product2",
"ImageURL" : "http://www.example.com/path/to/product/image2.png",
"ProductCategories" : ["Fiction", "Classics"]
"time" : 1387302453
Note the only differences are the "event" and "time" values.
Check that Your Custom Integration is Working
The first thing to check is whether or not Klaviyo is receiving events correctly. To do this, you can log into your Klaviyo account and click on the Metrics tab. This tab will show all the different events (or metrics) syncing into your Klaviyo account. You should see the following metrics here: Placed Order, Ordered Product, and Started Checkout. You may also see a metric for Active on Site. If you do, that means we've received at least one event for each of those metrics.
Next, for each metric, click on the Activity Feed icon to view a list of the most recent events we've received. If you don't see the metrics you're expecting in Klaviyo, here are a few things to consider:
- The Placed Order and Checkout Started metrics won't show up until someone has placed an order or checked out, respectively
- You should create a test checkout and a test order to see data appear
- Check that the public API key you're making API calls with matches the API in your account
- Sometimes people forget to replace the placeholder API key
- For JavaScript track calls, make sure people are being identified before you make the track call
- Klaviyo doesn't track anonymous activity because you can't take action or send emails to people who haven't been identified
If none of these appear to be the issue, send us an email and we'll help you troubleshoot.

Born. School. Job. Dancing beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free. Culture jamming. Working for the man. Alphabetizing my CDs. Flirting with intent. Short sighted. Picking heavy things up and putting them down again - just 'cause I can. Stood next to Henry Rollins once. He's short. Spent nine hours at an animation festival another time. Now I think I'm an animated rabbit. I was going through my sent items folder the other day. Since late 2000, I have sent over 17,500 e-mails. Sad. I could have written several novels with all those words...

The IOC stripped weightlifter from Kazakhstan gold of two Olympic games
The international Olympic Committee was deprived of awards the winner of the Games in 2008 and 2012 Ilya Ilyin, in the body which were found traces of banned drugs. About it reports a press-service of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Kazakhstan.
"According to the decision of the disciplinary Commission of the IOC, the results of additional studies of samples "A" and "b" Kazakhstan weightlifter, winner of the summer Olympic games 2008 in Beijing and 2012 Games in London in weight category to 94 kg, disqualified his results annulled and revoked awards", – is spoken in the message.
It is specified that the decision on the timing of the disqualification of the athlete Kazakhstan will host the international weightlifting Federation (IWF).
The NOC of Kazakhstan said that the policy of zero tolerance in matters of doping, protection of the principles of fair play and clean athletes are one of its main priorities.
Recall that the results of the two waves rechecking doping tests the latest methods in the spring of this year, the IOC revoked a lot of results shown by athletes at the Games in 2008 and 2012. The majority of athletes, mainly representing the former Soviet Union, in hindsight, was found a prohibited substance turinabol.
The Russian team has already lost a dozen medals of the Games in 2008 and 2012. The third and fourth waves of revalidation is expected later.

So, one thing that people often notice about K-Pop song titles is that their English translations can vary–sometimes a whole lot.
It seems like in recent years a lot of Korean acts have gotten better about putting up English titles on iTunes, so at least there's usually an official title (although it may be completely different than the Korean title). But that typically happens only once the song is released–when something's being teased in pre-release, like Taeil's upcoming song, an official English title is nowhere to be found, and the English translations can seem really chaotic.
That's not because the translators don't know what they're doing or anything–it's because English and Korean are very, very different from each other, and things that we take for granted in English don't always happen in Korean.
Keep in mind, too, that one goal of a Korean title is to be memorable to a Korean-speaking audience. A native Korean speaker trying to come up with a song title to appeal to other native Korean speakers isn't going to have ease of translation into English as a goal. Think about all the English-language songs that have titles like "Nothing Compares 2 U" or "If You Seek Amy"–no one's trying to make all that easy to translate into another language, and why would they?
(Although I should point out that sometimes Korean/English wordplay is very much a goal. Block B's "H.E.R" is "헐" in Hangeul; 헐 is a Korean slang expression meaning something along the lines of "Oh, my!" Likewise the song title "U Hoo Hoo" is a play both on the English word "you" and the Korean word "유흥," yooheung, which means pleasure (and, yes, it can have adult connotations).)
So, let's take a gander at the Korean title of Taeil's upcoming song, "좋아한다안한다."
"좋아한다" is the declarative form of 좋아하다, which means to like. More specifically, 좋아하다 is a kind of portmanteau verb common in Korean; 하다 means to do, and a lot of the time Korean takes a word (like 요리, cooking), tacks on a 하다, and gets a verb, 요리하다, which means to cook.
So, what's the 좋아 part mean? It means that something is good. This isn't quite the logic we'd use in English, but it is logical: In Korean if you tack together good and to do, it doesn't mean to do good, it means to act as though you think something is good, or to find something to be good–in short, to like. (The same thing happens when you tack together pretty and to do–it doesn't mean to do something prettily, it means to find something pretty or to like it.)
"안한다" is the declarative form of 안하다, which means to not do. (안 means not; 하다 still means to do.) What aren't you doing? You're not liking–that's why 좋아한다 and 안한다 are stuck together as "좋아한다안한다."
But who's liking or not liking what?
This is where Korean gets VERY different from English: You don't have to say! 좋아한다안한다 is a grammatically correct sentence in Korean–you don't need a subject, you don't need an object (although you can use both if you want). "Like not like" is fine!
In real life, a Korean speaker wouldn't use a sentence like 좋아한다안한다 unless the context made it totally clear who was liking/not liking whatever or whoever they couldn't quite make up their mind about. The fact that this sentence is grammatically correct doesn't mean that Koreans necessarily talk this way–except in dramas, of course, where no one ever communicates clearly with anyone else, because then you wouldn't have 16 episodes' worth of relationship problems!
So part of the issue for people trying to translate a title like "좋아한다안한다" into English is that, if that phrase is all you have, it's basically impossible to come up with something that is both an accurate translation and grammatically correct in English. Until you get a look at the lyrics and have more context, you are without a clue as to whether it should be I Like/Don't Like You, You Like/Don't Like Me, She Likes/Doesn't Like Him, or even We Like/Don't Like Them (or You or Me)!
But the other really interesting complication is that, just like writers of Korean dramas, writers of Korean song lyrics (and Korean poetry too, or so I'm told) often deliberately use the ambiguity inherent in phrases like 좋아한다안한다 (an ambiguity, remember, that could be easily cleared up by the simple addition of a direct object).
Once some of the lyrics of "좋아한다안한다" were released, the translators could say with some certainty that "좋아한다안한다" means Likes Me, Likes Me Not. But if you look at those lyrics, things aren't quite that straightforward–after all, the tricky part of starting a relationship is that both people involved have to like each other the same way and at the same time. So, just like the beginning of a relationship, "좋아한다안한다" is not quite as simple as Likes Me, Likes Me Not–and that's on purpose.
Taeil reminds us that you can't evaluate lyrical quality based on a translation.
Another song title where this happens is Block B's "했어 안했어," which literally translates as "Did Didn't." If you look at the lyrics, the most-straightforward interpretation is Did I or Didn't I?–as in, I told you to stop hanging around with that guy and to not call him and not text him constantly, didn't I? Huh? Did I or didn't I?
But the other meaning, of course, is Did You or Didn't You?–cheat.

After that you will feel like you are MAGNIFICENCE IN HUMAN FORM.

Today I got up early, for we have entered the Grind Phase of the term. Summer classes will end mid-July: we only have less than 30 lecture days.

In other news, I've been thinking about starting to read romance novels. When I was a wee girl who didn't know any better, I used to sniff at them in disdain and wouldn't touch them because what if they have Like The Other Girls cooties???? But I grew up, and got a bit better.

So, then! I tried to Google, but it's all so overwhelming, and some of the summaries leave me cold. I thought to myself, "MAYBE it's really just because you have low attraction towards men? Romance is boring if you're bored with the half of the pair," and also "I'm rather lazy when it comes to getting myself to invest in male characters nowadays," and also "WHERE ARE THE LESBIAN OR BISEXUAL BODICE RIPPERS???"

Have you lovelies got romance novel suggestions? Have you dabbled in the genre? Are you reading it? I'll take all recs, contemporary or period pieces. And more importantly, what are your sleeping hours?

Hope you'll have a good weekend!

Because:

"But what if we prevail?"

- Davos I, A Dance With Dragons

For context, this was supposed to have been said by the 19-year-old Eddard "Ned" Stark as he smuggled himself back to the North to call his banners 15 years before the canon era.

Why was this boy doing this?

His younger sister disappeared with the crown prince so Ned's older brother, in a fit of ill-advised hot-headedness, rode to the capital and demanded for the crown prince to come out and die for apparently kidnapping a betrothed highborn lady. (The crown prince was already married to a Dornish princess <s>who deserved better.</s>) The ruling king was beyond loopy, so he jailed Ned's older brother, summoned Ned's father, and killed father and son without proper trial. Then the king commanded the deaths of Ned and his friend, Robert Baratheon. Who was betrothed to Ned's younger sister. Their foster father was like, "No way. After decades of madness, this is the LAST STRAW. WE REBEL THE F OUT OF THIS MOFO."

Ned finds himself losing 3 family members in one swoop, and takes his older brother's place not only as the next Lord of Winterfell but also as the husband to Catelyn Tully. Ned's banners called, the rebellion was now in full swing. It seemed almost impossible, but eventually they toppled the 300 year old Targaryen dynasty.

Let me now go back to revising for my exam on Friday. Summer classes are hell. Daunting, taxing. But what if we prevail. :)

One thing of consolation, however, is my lecture on South Asian Literature. I've never been exposed to literature and culture of South Asia, so I'm quite excited for this particular elective.

Things I have enjoyed during my week-long hols:

1. Some episodes of Empress Ki. IT IS 51 EPISODES LONG, I dunno when I will be able to finish it, I'm only 7 eps in. But so far, I've enjoyed the spoiled bumbling future emperor and his older long-suffering bodyguard turned wife. I AM FOUR YEARS LATE INTO THIS FANDOM so I'm thirsty for tumblr content. It's a good thing I found the official facebook page for my pretty pictures needs. This show also sparked in me an interest in the history of the Mongol empire.

2. The Handmaiden. Which is an adaptation of Sarah Waters' Fingersmith (my to-read!). But in this adaptation, the setting is in Japan-occupied Korea, so hearing the characters speak in both Japanese and Korean is such a treat. I loved the Japanese lady, Izumi Hideko, and her sweet-faced filthy-mouthed Korean maid, Nam Sook Hee. I love these East Asian lesbians! Also, the cinnamon tography is sooo pretty.

3. Dua Lipa's debut album, after a messy roll-out campaign. But she delivered!!! Bless your ears with the opening track, Genesis.

4. Strangers, which is a Halsey track featuring my darling Lauren Jauregui. Sign me up for this bisexual WOC collab. (Speaking of, if Lauren collaborated on another woman-lovin woman song with either Kehlani or Hayley Kiyoko, catch me curled up in a corner, overcome with glee.)

5. My favourite marble heart necklace. I'm still touched by this gift. <3

AND THEN I will be free! Free to catch up on your posts, lovelies. Free to nap all day, and free to maybe write some fic for You're Beautiful. And free to READ ALL DAY. And maybe finish some WiPs.

Which is quite ambitious. What an ambitious freedom minutiae. Because I will be signing up for June-July classes.

*thoughtfully glances at the time*

I think - it's time to hydrate. Yes, cool water sounds good.

Also I cannot stop listening to Lovely Day, which is part of the OST of You're Beautiful. I cannot understand a word of it, but it reminds me of key scenes I loved. :D

In other news, this Wednesday I did end up tweaking and posting the first part of that pre-Conquest wip. As if I haven't got other wips, and a tonne of coursework. Because I am a human disaster.

Title: Will Endure
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire
Summary: House Stark shortly before the Targaryen Conquest. "The Kings of Winter never die, say the smallfolk. The Kings of Winter only grow as old as they can until the night, and then come morning they turn young again. But they are always there, with their greatsword and their direwolf. The Stark kings are as eternal as their stronghold Winterfell."

Naturally it's the time to have a bit of an existential nitpick.

So, today I've had:
- a large cup of coffee
- a large cup of cocoa with a dash of coffee
- a large cup of cocoa

For quite some time now, I've been saying I'm having a tea instead of I'm having tea.There was one day last week when I've had, like, 5 cups of tea in twelve hours. Because I have turned into a deplorable caffeine bot. I have been since I was 13 when I succumbed to the potent combination of perfectionism, I'll-forever-deny-it competitiveness in school, and having my eye on a really great uni.

I got into the uni, and along trailed my constant friend the caffeine cup. The caffeine cup has me by the heartstrings. I'm told by the doctor that heart palpitations are not healthy. So far I've had none. *cheers*

We've come to that point in a uni term when you want it to be over and at the same time, you do not, because of the positively tottering pile of coursework waiting for you at the end.

In my drafts I've just encountered a 3k wip on Torrhen Stark and his family told from the POV of his semi-canonically unnamed daughter. (The World of Ice and Fire is such a gem for ficcers.) I can only stare at it and wonder what kind of nerd tea I've gulped down when I wrote it.

ME: Don't touch it, Self. I am warning you. Do not touch it until after exams.
ALSO ME: But...House Stark...feelings...too long waiting...She-Wolves of Winterfell...canon novella...unpublished...

Naming the unnamed daughters and sisters and wives in fics, that's my dark secret. Writing fics from their POVs, totally my jam. Also give me all the female bastards.

Then my companion and I, let us call her Someone Who Is Terribly Bossy And Terribly Efficient, went for a walk and had ice cream and fresh fruit shakes. I had the cheese ice cream with bits of real cheese in it, and it was glorious. It was as glorious as the fresh mango shake.

A few days ago I stumbled upon what is probably my most favourite Harry Potter post-canon depiction. THIS IS NOW MY HEADCANON. He is also wearing a Weasley jumper, bless. A few people have told me that Harry looks very Asian, very brown, specifically, very Desi here. It is enormously pleasing, let me tell you. Even though I am of a different kind of Asian.

One of the amazing content found in tumblr (a box of chocolates of a website, some fantastic, some you find to have been expired and awful) is that meta that James Potter's family could have very well been Asian witches and that Potter is an Anglicized version of a South Asian name P - something, I forget. But that meta is amazing. ETA: There are TWO OF THEM. REALLY AMAZING POSTS. Come have cheese ice cream and fresh mango shake with me, metas!

In other Harry Potter links, let us show our love for comms like hpdrizzle, which is now accepting sign-ups, and hp_coffeehouse which is accepting fills for month-long prompts. Let me think on signing up for Drizzle. I have neglected participating in this fandom for too long.

And of course, for the ASOIAF crowd, we have valar_morekinks which accepts all kinds of prompts, kinky or not, cracky or not.

I've been feeling so tired from this week, and thinking about the coming week is just ugh. Let me toddle off for a brownie and dream about cheese ice cream.

What are your other comm suggestions? Do you think cheese ice cream is amazing?

Well. I was walking whilst eating the ice cream.

ME: Lovely, lovely Korean ice cream. With solid chocolate in the middle! I miss South Korea!
ME: Oooh hibiscuses! Oooh dahlias! Oooh huge glob of ice cream on my shoe...fuck...
PASSERBY: Why is that girl nudging the plants...with her foot...
PASSERBY: She's waving a popsickle stick. Dripping with bits of...a drippy thing.

All of which were very exciting.

Then I met up with two new friends from one of my courses. I asked them if they had any fandoms. They asked me if I had any fandoms. I was chattering happily about books and a few shows and a few movies when they kindly let me know that...no...they're not involved in any fandoms.

FRIEND: I'm pretty sure Teddy Lupin did not date Cho Chang. I'm pretty sure Teddy Lupin WAS A BABY.
ME: IN MY WIP THEY WILL BE DATING AND TEDDY IS 26 AND CHO IS 45.
FRIEND: She's raving. She's got ice cream stains on her blouse and shoe, and she's raving.

I felt like Alice stumbling out of the rabbit hole. It was still exciting to introduce people to the concept of fandom and transformative works.

Another thing which excites me, speaking of fannishness, is the She-Wolves of Winterfell which George R.R. Martin has planned to be a future installment of Dunk and Egg. I KNOW I KNOW he said he won't be touching it before he finishes Winds, BUT I AM SO THIRSTY FOR IT. Stark ladies! A GROUP OF FORMIDABLE STARK LADIES. MORE INFO ABOUT THE STARK FAMILY. 80 years ago! Will Old Nan be there? I'd love to write fic in her pov. Will Lyarra be mentioned? *GRABBY HANDS*

What are some exciting things which happened to you post-Easter hols? What are you excited about, generally?

Froths of bougainvillea in the sunlight, ice-cold drinks, and mango ice cream are the only great things about unbearably warm weather.

There is the beginning of a bit of restlessness: I want to go out with my computer and my books, do work somewhere different, somewhere I've never been before like a new coffee shop and treat myself to some alone time there, but the heat is making me want to just wear strapless tops all day and moonily draw hearts around the words NORTH POLE.

I swooned the entire time I was reading the Dorne chapter in The World of Ice and Fire, I'm THIS near to shipping myself with Meria. I'm a big fan of Dorne (and the North. Both "never truly conquered by dragons.") And also: a matriarchy under the Targaryen rule. Come give this fic some love.

After this week will be easter hols, so around then I'll be able to breathe a bit and properly catch up.

Things of note yesterday:
1. I drank three little mugs of ice-cold chocolate coffee.
2. Ate this Korean food, bibimbap, for the first time. Quite a nice break from all the sushi-stuffing I've been on the past week as a coping mechanism.
3. Slept for 8 hours, amazing.

In the meantime, let me point you over to Tei Shi's debut album, Crawl Space. It is sublime, AND I AM IN LOVE. I've been getting my life to Keep Running for the past 24 hours.

I swear it was only the 1st of Feb yesterday and I was dazedly celebrating my birthday, and now...February is almost over? What.

Currently I'm trying not to cry and keep afloat of my readings. This certain professor of mine is making us familiarise ourselves with Asia and specifically Southeast Asia, and thus: an exam tomorrow! You, girl with the flowers, locate the Annamite mountain chain and briefly explain its geographic and climactic significance!

I, the girl with the flowers: *SNAPS PENCIL AND HURLS IT THOUGH A BLANK MAP*

It's been a busy week, and I got ill last weekend. Will reward myself with first episode of Westworld during the weekend. I'm told that it's a great show.

Oh, and I read this old play in English by a Filipino writer about two unmarried sisters in their forties rattling around an ancestral house. I'm starting to think I rather love that aesthetic.

Last Friday I lugged home four books from the library. Three of them are about the politics and culture of Southeast Asia and the other one about baronial life in 13th century England.

Looking up the cards at the backs of the library books is some sort of amusement for me: the names, the dates - especially if the return dates are so far apart and the book is seldom borrowed in a decade.

In other news: am really looking forward to my darling Kehlani's new album due at the end of the week! There were two weeks in summer of 2015 where I just basked in her mixtape You Should Be Here. And then in December of same year I rolled around her Cloud 19 mixtape. There's just something so earthy and so relaxed about her music, and I love the frankness of her lyrics. It's like lounging somewhere tropical, beneath some palms and with a glass of coconut juice in hand, occasionally sitting up and nodding profusely at what she's saying. One poster over at Popjustice was right: Kehlani's like the TLC regrouped in one person.

For reference, she was featured on The Fader some time ago. It was one of my favourite issues.

Look at her darling face!

Of course, for whatever awards are worth nowadays, it doesn't hurt that her mixtape was also nominated for the Grammys.

My professor is quite brilliant in the lecture, I was in awe. He's only a bit younger than my grandfather, but he cracks lots of jokes hahaha. Of course we will be using one of the anthologies of which he is editor.

Am also excited about the library book on fairy tales I borrowed for a bit of *Hermione Granger voice* light reading. It's not so thick but it's wide.

Mostly this week is about gathering as much of the required readings as I can.

On an unrelated note, I loved the ornamental driftwood I saw earlier whilst I was in a queue.

When I said in a previous post that this term with 15 units is quite light? My new courses are very challenging so it appears that it IS good that I only have 15 units.

My Tuesday has 4 lectures from 8:30am - 4:00pm.

This morning, Swotty Me arrived outside the lecture hall at 7:30 and proceeded to organise my Planner and Notebook, doodling all sorts of motivational words and scaring myself a bit with how determined I am. BUT I really am. I even scratched out the mark I am aiming for for my general weighted average, which is naturally the highest. In that one free hour I have already roughly outlined how I will spend my weekends. /o\

So...normal term behaviour. Nothing to see here.

And since I really am also determined to combat procrastination, I think I ought to finish the prompt I am planning to fill this weekend. It's due until the end of this month for a prompt meme, but I'm also planning to launch it as a Femslash Feb fic.

Of course the only way to make this happen is to clone 2014!

ME: *is a Professor Duncan from Orphan Black* THRIVE, 2017, THRIVE LIKE YOUR SISTER.

Or not. I can always smush them together. Osmosis might occur. An osmosis of positivity!

I will start by trying to post as regularly as I can.

1. Yesterday I got tired out by the registration for the new term. Lighter load this term, only 15 units. And one of them is a required course on Political Science. Fancy that!

2. Drive-by Rec: San Junipero episode of Black Mirror. I've enjoyed it this holidays. It involves an interracial couple, one of them an awkward lesbian and one a bodacious bisexual, and it didn't end in tears! Only an hour long and no knowledge of other episodes or seasons is required.

3. My slow but sure campaign to finish all the wips in my drafts folder continues. A majority of them is femslash. Fandom needs more hopeful open-ended femslash fics, and so of course: Be the change you want to see.
