Examining changes in fresh fruit and vegetable consumption over time and across regions in urban China
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to fill a knowledge gap by examining the changes in fruit and vegetable consumption of Chinese households. Design/methodology/approach - Using 1993 and 2001 household survey data from three selected provinces in China, the authors estimated a quantile regression (QR) model to demonstrate how changes of fresh fruit and vegetable consumption over time may differ across regions, and additionally, how these changes may differ over the entire distribution. Findings - Results show significant increases in fresh fruit consumption for all provinces; in addition, the pattern of changes over time differs across the entire distribution. In contrast, significant decreases of fresh vegetable consumption are evident, and results are robust across regions; however, the disparities of fresh vegetable consumption across regions are not significant. Research limitations/implications - The results may shed some light on the national food policy. First, any food policy that may affect prices of fresh fruits and vegetables will likely affect households in lower percentiles more than those in upper percentiles. In addition, based on the findings, households in Guangdong may have a higher risk of inadequate fruit consumption. Lower level consumption of fruits in Guangdong may be caused by its relatively high prices of fruits and perhaps the shifting consumption pattern to a more meat-based diet as income increases. Originality/value - There has been considerable interest in estimating food demand structure in China due to its huge market for food products. However, little is known about the fruits and vegetables products. In addition, most of the previous studies used the linear regression-type model for analysis, which fails to capture the effects of the exogenous factors on the entire distribution. To fill the knowledge gap, this paper uses a QR model with the different-in-difference method to examine the changes in fruit and vegetable consumption of Chinese households.

Kareena Kapoor Khan is one Bollywood actress who likes to stay aloof from social media, but the gorgeous diva has now come on Instagram, maybe temporarily, courtesy Vogue India.
Kareena has partnered with Vogue India for a campaign, for which Bebo has made her Instagram debut on the official page of the brand. Kareena first posted a selfie with the caption saying: "Hello, Vogue's Insta crew! My first steps into social media today, can't wait for all your digi love! [sic]" with the hashtag #KareenaKapoorKhanForVogue.
While the "Ki and Ka" actress looked extremely pretty with her pout in the selfie, the next photo showed Kareena getting ready for a Lakme shoot. Another picture is a selfie that also has two members from the crew.
Although fans will be happy to see Kareena sharing her pictures on Instagram, the actress will not be a part of social media permanently as she feels it is a drug. In an interview with Elle magazine, Kareena had earlier said: "Social media is like a drug. If you have 5 million followers, you want to get 10, then 15 – it's never enough. Then there's so much scrutiny online and everyone has to have an opinion on everything. I am a private person and I am happier to be out of it."
Kareena was last seen in the movie "Ki and Ka," which also featured Arjun Kapoor. Directed by R Balki, "Ki and Ka" presented the actress as an ambitious working wife and Arjun was seen as a house-husband. Although the film received mixed reviews, "Ki and Ka" has been performing well at the box office.

When it comes to survey response rates, your subject line matters. A lot more than you might think. Did you know that 69% of people would report an email as spam based solely on its title?
Before a customer can complete your Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey, they need to open it. So you need to think wisely about what subject line you choose if you want to achieve a good response rate.
It really depends on the type of business you run. Factors like whether you're B2C or B2B, the industry your in etc can influence what's classed as a high.
However, according to Bain & Company, anything less than a 40% response rate for B2C and 60% for B2B organisations indicates a red flag. And most Net Promoter experts would agree with this.
There are certain words and phrases that are a no-no when it comes to email titles. For example:
Do you notice a common theme here? Each and every one of these titles focuses on what's in it for the company instead of the customer.
Additionally, using words like guarantee and earn can cause emails to end up in the spam folder since they're often associated with money making schemes. Stay clear of them!
And AVOID TYPING IN CAPITALS. Or using excessive punctuation!!! As you can see, they're not easy on the eye.
Now that we've covered what you should be avoiding, here are some examples of subject lines that will improve your email open and response rates!
Subject lines like this, invoke a more positive reaction from the customer. They are much less about the company and more about the customer. You notice how we're using you and your a lot.
You'll also notice that each of these subject lines is in the form of a question. Questions are a guaranteed way to humanise text and encourage customers to engage in a conversation with you.
Ultimately, the decision on subject lines lies with you and your marketing team. But these are some of the essential traits you should be looking for when deciding what's best.
So now that you know which survey subject lines to avoid and which ones work well, it's time to start sending some net promoter surveys. We, at Devoted, provide simple NPS software for businesses of all sizes. Sign up today and get started for free.

Leather Process
The process of hides and skins into leather is a fascinating procedure that requires a precise combination of many chemical and mechanical operations. Below you will find cutting instructions for your leather, along with a step-by-step summary of these processing operations as provided by our suppliers.
Follow this step-by-step process to see how tanneries convert a natural resource into leather hides.
Deterioration begins immediately when a cow is killed. After the hides are removed from the carcass, they are salted through and through at the slaughterhouses to prevent decay. After they are salted, 55% of the water in the hide is removed, and the hides are dried for 3 to 6 days. The rawhides are then sold to tanneries.
In order for the tanning process to work properly, the dry-salted hides must be washed free of the salt. This is done by soaking the hides in water to which chemical wetting agents (similar to household detergents) and disinfectants are usually added for 8 to 20 hours, depending on the thickness of the hides. This soaking procedure rehydrates the hides to their original flaccid condition and removes the dirt.
The hair must now be removed from the hides. This is done by soaking the hides in chemicals (depilatory agents), which (a) destroy the hair by attacking the hair root so it will release freely from the hides, (b) loosen the epidermis and (c) remove certain soluble skin proteins that lie within the hide substance without destroying the desirable collagen of the hides.
Excess flesh, fat and muscle must now be removed from the hides. This is done with a fleshing machine.
All of the depilatory chemicals must now be removed from the hides. This is done by washing the hides in ammonium sulfate or ammonium chloride and then clear water in big drums. These chemicals not only clean the depilatory chemicals from the hides, they also adjust the acid-alkaline conditions (pH) to the proper point for receiving the bate — enzymes similar to those found in the digestive system of animals. When bates are applied, they attack and destroy most of the remaining
The hides must be placed in an acid environment (low pH) so they will be ready to accept the tanning materials, because chrome-tanning agents are not soluble under alkaline conditions. This is accomplished by adding salt and acid to the hides. This is a preserving process in itself, and hides can be kept in this state for extended periods of time without any deterioration.
The raw collagen fibers of the hides must be converted into a stable product that is no longer susceptible to rotting. This is done by adding chrome-tanning agents to the hides in a revolving drum. These tanning agents also significantly improve the hide's dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, resistance to chemicals and to heat, ability to flex innumerable times without breaking, and ability to endure repeated cycles of wetting and drying.
The excess moisture must be removed from the hides. This is done by placing each hide through two large rollers similar to those on a clothes wringer.
The hides must now be split into the desired thickness. Unsplit hides average 5 mm thick. The thickness for upholstery leathers ranges from 0.9 mm to 2.0 mm. The hides are put through a splitting machine that is set to split the hides to the desired thickness. The machine cuts the top-grain off first. Another layer and sometimes two are cut. These layers are called splits.
The thickness of the hides must be made uniform all over the hide. This is done with a shaving machine through which the hides are run. The helical-shaped cutting blades level the overall thickness to exact specifications and open the fiber structure to better receive subsequent chemical processing.
This process is done to impart special end-use properties with other tanning chemicals. The substances used add solidity and body to chrome leather and help minimize variations in the character of the leather that may still exist between different parts of the hide.
As soon as the re-tanning process is completed, aniline dyes, derived primarily from petroleum and added to very hot water, are added to rotating drums to penetrate the hides for desired color.
This is the last of the wet-chemical operations to which the leather will be subjected. Fat-liquoring has the most pronounced effect on how soft a leather will be and it contributes greatly to its tensile strength. The more fat-liquors that are added, the softer the hides will be.
This operation smoothes and stretches the hide, while compressing and squeezing out the excess moisture. This puts hides in the proper condition for drying.
The hides are stretched across a perforated frame and held in place with clips called toggles. One hide is clipped to each side of the frame. The frames are then slid into channels in drying ovens.
Leather is staked to make it pliable. In combination with the correct fat-liquoring treatment, staking governs the final firmness or softness of the leather.
The hides are placed in a large dry drum and tumbled until the desired softness is obtained.
This process improves the final appearance of the hides by lightly sanding the surface to remove some of the natural imperfections such as scratches, healed scars, etc. It provides the hide with better cutting yield.
This process applies film-forming materials on the surface of the hide. Here is where layers of pigments are added, if required. This process also adds the protective sealant to the surface.
This is the final step in the leather process. During this process, heat presses a chosen grain into the surface of the hides.

Leaf/stem ratio of grass stands is an important factor affecting diet selection, quality, and forage intake. Determination of leaf/stem ratio involves a labor-intensive process of hand separating leaf and stem fractions. Our objectives in this study were to evaluate leaf/stem ratio prediction using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) in monocultures of big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), intermediate wheatgrass [Thinopyrum intermedian (Host) Barkw. & D.R. Dewey], and smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.). Samples of each species were hand-clipped from monocultures at four locations throughout Nebraska in the 1997 and 1998 growing seasons. Ground samples were scanned by a Perstorp model 6500 near-infrared scanning monochromator. Calibration equations were developed using CENTER and SELECT procedures. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy estimated leaf/stem ratio in monocultures of big bluestem, switchgrass, intermediate wheatgrass, and smooth bromegrass with a coefficient of determination (r 2) of 0.73, 0.96, 0.75, and 0.84, respectively. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy was a rapid means of estimating leaf/stem ratio in these grasses.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

What to Cook: Fish Parcels & Roasted Wedges
Fish Parcels + Oven-Roasted Potato Wedges
These parcels are a very quick and easy way to cook fish and there is no washing up! Use any type of fish you like with any combination of flavours, or you can also use chicken fillet instead of the fish, thinned as per the instructions on page 56. I like to use cod or haddock for this recipe but you can use any white fish you prefer.
Serves 2
For the fish
2x150g fillets of cod/haddock (skinned)
4 mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
1 pinch of herbes de Provence for each piece of fish
a splash of white wine
For the wedges
4 medium-sized rooster potatoes
salt and pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
Cut the potatoes into wedge-shaped pieces. Place on a baking tray, season and drizzle with the olive oil. Cook for 20-30 minutes until soft.
Cut out a rectangular piece of parchment or baking paper large enough to hold the fish and wrap it up. Place the fish in the centre and place the other ingredients you are using on top.
Wrap up tightly and ensure the steam cannot escape.
Place on a baking tray and put in oven for 15-20 minutes (this depends on the thickness of the fish you are using). Check the fish is cooked through before serving.
Serve the fish with all the juices, a portion of wedges and some vegetables of your choice.
Other suggestions to use with the fish
Half a red onion, eight cherry tomatoes, a pinch of dried oregano and 30g of crumbled feta.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my family and we had a lovely time, it is at a great location and all the staff are very friendly! They only fault I can say is the pool wasn't overly clean however it did the job, the pool area itself is very nice and comfy but no hot tub! Being able to get free water from the lobby is very nice as the water in the room is quite expensive! Aswell having the choice of breakfast in the hotels 'grab to go' or across the Carpark to Curvee is lovely and both are very tasty! The hotel itself is very clean and tidy and I would most defiantly stay here again next time I'm in town!

What is the best time of the year to visit Hong Kong, taking weather and events into consideration? I will be traveling from Toronto (about 20 hours of travelling) and I am wondering if it is pointless to plan a trip with a duration of less than 2 weeks. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Best time to visit Hong Kong & how long to stay?

I think a week or ten days would be sufficient for Hong Kong alone. That would give you plenty of time to see the area, try out a number of restaurants and do a good bit of shopping. Weather is pretty good from October through April or May. Visit http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/weather/longterm/historical/data/hong_kong_china.htm to get a pretty good idea of the weather there from month to month.

Hi Deb! I think you can go to Hong Kong when ever you like, just bring an umbrella if it's raining. Hong Kong is a wild big city where you can find things to do for ever... You'll enjoy it if you stay two days or two weeks!!!
Have a good time! Titte.

The weather is terrific during November. My favorite month though is December. Often a bit cooler and beautiful Christmas lights everywhere.

If you like shopping, the best time is between June and Sept. Otherwise, Nov, Dec is nice - temperature is a bearable 15 top 23 deg Celcius

The weather last October was very hot and humid - wait until it cools off. I was there for 3 days on my way to Beijing and found that I had enough time to see alot, but would have enjoyed a little more time. Make sure and take a trip over to Macua to see yet one more culture - the town center is beautiful. And take the tram in the city park up to the top to get an incredible view of Macua.

December-January is a great time to travel to Hong Kong. I was there last year at New Years and the city is absolutely gorgeous, especially at night! There is so much to do, and the weather at that time is nice...not too hot. For a really good time, plan to stay for at least 7-10 days...plan a day trip to the border of Hong Kong and China...quick and easy to get to by train...there's a big difference between Hong Kong and China! It's amazing! I'm going again in January and I cannot wait!

I spend a lot of time in HK on business (with weekends for shopping and touristy things), and would quite honestly say that with as long of a trip as you are considering, you really should spend a few days in China. I'm biased, of course, because we are Americans living in Shanghai, but to me, while HK is a WONDERFUL, exciting city, you really need to see some of Mainland China. If you only want to spare a couple of days, you can do Beijing quickly in 2-3 days, including the Great Wall. Of course I also recommend Shanghai! When I am helping friends and family planning an Orient vacation, I typically only recommend at most 3 days in HK, and if they are staying that long, I recommend they spend one of those days in Macao. There is a lot to see in HK, but it's sort of like taking a 2-week trip to Europe and staying the entire time in one city. You will find things to see every day, but will certainly be missing out on a lot of other highlights of the area.

As a local resident, I think the best time is between Oct and Jan/Feb when the sky is blue and clear, preferrably between Nov and Jan. Summer months between April and Sept must be too hot and humid you. Christmas and (before) Chinese New are good for wonderful festival lightings on both sides of Victoria harbour, fireworks and retail winter sale seasons. Most of the shops and restaurants are closed the week following Chinese New Year, i.e. 29th Jan to 3rd Feb 2001. However you may use this time to take a trip to China. One week in Hong Kong should be enough for sightseeing and shopping. If you spend two weeks in Hong Kong, you should combine a trip to China and Macau. Spend at least three days in Beijing, i.e. one day to the Great Wall, one day to the Summer Palace and Forbidden City and one day city tour. Spend one to two days in Shanghai (i.e. one day for the Bund and one day for city tour) and do a day trip to Macau (used to be a Portugese colony with a lot of Portugese heritage, quite unlike Hong Kong whether 99% of the historical colonial buildings were torn down).
If you just cover Hong Kong, a trip of one week will do including a day trip to Macau.

Hi fellow Canadian!
I'm a resident of HK and agree with many - the best weather here is from November through January. The weather is neither too hot/humid nor too grey/foggy (which it can be from Mar through May) and the flowers are at their best.
Two weeks would be a good amount of time - I suggest a side trip to Macau and into China (at least Guangzhou, if not further - if your budget will allow).
If you like walking and the natural side of things, there are great walks in the New Territories and the islands of the HKSAR (surprisingly, 74% of the territory is actually 'country park').
I'd be pleased to offer more suggestions - just send me an email at: [email protected] And.. please take a look at our website - where you'll find other annotated links to lots of travellers' diaries and websites on various aspects of HK and the region.
Have a great trip!

The England and Wales Cricket Board today confirmed Pietersen would fly back the UK in the next 24 hours due to the injury which was first discovered during the recent one-day series in Australia.
News that Pietersen's World Cup was over emerged this morning while the England squad were en route from India to Bangladesh for their next match on Friday.
It had already been confirmed that Pietersen would undergo hernia surgery after the World Cup, but he appeared laboured in the field during yesterday's six-run win against South Africa.
England's management have now acted to avoid further aggravation of the problem that has also ruled Pietersen out of the Indian Premier League, which he was due to contest with the Deccan Chargers.
Pietersen, who will be out for around six weeks when he undergoes the surgery, said on his Twitter page this morning: "Confirming the BREAKING NEWS ... I fly home tonight. Out of the WC & IPL. Absolutely devastated!
"Sad to leave India. Love the people & the hospitality!"
It had been hoped England's medical staff would be able to nurse Pietersen through the remainder of the World Cup.
Speaking on Saturday, Pietersen said: "I'm obviously extremely disappointed to have picked up this hernia injury.
"It will no doubt impact my preparation but careful management should see me still play a significant role in the team's campaign."
But Pietersen complained of soreness after bowling eight overs in the victory against South Africa, while his performance with the bat in Chennai gleaned just two runs.
The ECB have applied to the ICC to call up Eoin Morgan as Pietersen's replacement.
Morgan was originally named in England's World Cup squad but missed out after suffering a broken finger in the build-up to the tournament.
Morgan has responded well to treatment, however, and even if he is not deemed fit enough to face Bangladesh later this week, he would be a key addition to the squad for the knockout stage should England qualify.

[EXT] XMLTV Guide and Search
Announce and Discuss the Latest Theme and Extension Releases.
Ok guys, I just tried a grab and everything is working fine again.
Yes Ben, TV browser does have it's own grabber for Schedules Direct, the whole thing is written in java so I don't know much about it, but it has been working when mc2xml hasn't. As I've got the portable now I'll keep it as a backup as it may come in handy for the future. The only trouble is you have to have java installed to use it which I wouldn't recommend to anyone but as long as you switch off any java browser plugins it shouldn't be much of a security risk.
Anyway normal service is resumed so I'll see you all around. Enjoy summer!
Cheers all.
Ben, I've lost the horizontal scrollbar button for some reason.
I tried a reinstall of the extension which didn't fix it and a new install of Firefox which didn't work either.
I also tried the latest portable Firefox and it's showing up using that.
I haven't changed any of my profile settings for ages so I can't understand why the button should suddenly vanish.
I can still scroll left/right using the <> buttons but that's in 30 minute intervals and if I want to make a big time jump I can't do it any more.
Is the gui setting for the button hidden anywhere as I'd like to get it back if possible.
Firstly, I'd recommend that you switch to ESR 52 and not use FF55 - ultimately, FF55 is going nowhere. Come FF57 none of the
Having said that, I do have an instance of FF 55 and you're right, the 'thumb' isn't there - although, in fact it is there... try dragging the spot where you'd imagine it to be!
I may have a closer look but I make no promises - currently I have nothing setup for testing on FF55. I think I'm still allowed to publish updates but I'm not sure how much longer that will last either so there really is little point. As I say, ESR 52 is the way to go. You may have difficulties going from anything above FF54 to 52 - so a backup profile from FF54 would also be handy.
ESR 52 should be good until sometime next year, by which time hopefully we'll see how all this pans out once the dust settles on whatever incarnations of Firefox are left.
XUL is dead. Long live the Google Chrome Clones.
Okay, I'm not really sure what's changed. I see in the FF55 release notes that we have this:
...which sounds ominous. In any event, my using: -moz-appearance:none now seems to strip all the styling from the scrollbar thumb. I have no idea why this would be desirable but I suspect it may be a collateral effect of Mozilla no longer wanting extensions to modify the UI. Who knows.
Here are two solutions (both using Stylish):
This first example sets the thumb back to its Mozilla default - you will find that the thumb width may significantly decrease.
This second example maintains my original minimum width on the thumb of 48px. It's a bug-bear of mine that the convention is to allow thumb widths to become absurdly narrow. While this may accurately reflect the length of the scrollbar it can make grabbing the thumb very difficult. I like fat thumbs.
Unless I feel there is an overwhelming reason I'm not really tempted to update the add-on itself. I think that post FF52 that there is little value in chasing Firefox any further down its chosen rabbit hole. FF55 seems to be starting to break things in a number of areas. This is only going to get worse.
Should some other incarnation of Firefox emerge as a worthwhile replacement to FF52 (i.e. something that is going to support XUL beyond the middle of next year) I will certainly endeavour to keep all of my add-ons working under that browser.
XUL is dead. Long live the Google Chrome Clones.
Thank you Ben. I've only just changed to the esr release and that took ages as it wouldn't accept my bookmarks. Both my backup html file and importing from Interner Explorer wouldn't work. But after trying a zillion times I finally managed to get the backups to load, b***** tempermental thing!
So using the esr now all looks fine and I'm loath to go back to 55x.
I've never heard of Stylish but I found it and it seems simple enough to use so I may try your option 2 on the portable version of Firefox when I've a little more time. If I mess it up it's easier to reinstall portable and try again!
I don't know what's going on with Firefox as like you I never bother to read the release notes but webextensions seems the way Firefox is going and legacy extensions like yours will be no more if I understand it. I assume all authors will have to update their extensions in some way to meet a new spec which no doubt will cause friction between them and the browser. It may also be the change that finally fires Firefox in the foot should those authors choose to desert it. You'll know more than me so I won't speculate over this as it's something I quickly Googled after reading your comments.
Pale Moon was a good alternative but they seem to be losing their way now with extensions so it makes you wonder where it will all end up.
Anyway thanks for getting me back on track and I'll let you know about my Stylish adventures in due course.
I think you'll find life easier using ESR 52 if you want to maintain Firefox's functionality beyond FF57.
Stylish allows you to modify CSS on the fly, not only for individual web pages but also for the Firefox UI itself. Sadly, I mainly use it to modify the Firefox UI.
The majority of 'legacy' add-ons will never be updated to webextensions. None of my add-ons will update. This one, for example, uses an SQLite database. SQLite is a proper relational database that can handle large datasets - like 10,000's of TV programmes. SQLite is not supported under webextensions. Lots of things are not supported under webextensions. So even where there is a will there is often simply no way.
I'm not sure about Pale Moon either. I hope perhaps that SeaMonkey may make a last stand. I don't suppose anyone knows just yet. Hopefully there are still enough free-thinking developers who aren't ready to be homogenised.
My general feeling is that we are all a part of Silicon Valley's crusade to perfect the lowest common denominator - the maximum reach with the minimum scope. All the ground won in the 90's to regain control of our computers, and where customisation was king, (a cause not in small part championed by Mozilla) is, I fear, pretty much gone. I don't think enough of the population care any more. They seem happy with the dog food they're given.
XUL is dead. Long live the Google Chrome Clones.
I see with Firefox 57x XMLTV Guide is relegated to the bin Ben.
I've just moved up to Windows 10 (from 7) and found that another add-on I used wouldn't work with the esr version on Win 10 so I've had to go back to Firefox mainstream to solve that.
So now I'm back to mainstream as my default browser and I've set up a portable esr so that I can use XMLTV Guide with the scroll bar showing.
I assume with 57x you won't be doing any more work to the add-on so I won't see it at all with that version.
Firefox, once a good browser is now trying my patience and it might be time to look at chrome alternatives or be driven to drink!
Cheers, Colin.
For me, FF57 isn't ready for prime-time. Its web extensions are too immature and incomplete. In my case there's no SQLite. This is the SQL database engine that I need to be able to make 100,000's of data rows dance. Having said that, the sheeple probably won't even notice. I suspect that those of us that use a lot of add-ons are in a minority - we are probably just an inconsequential blip on the graphs.
I've yet to see a single add-on that's shifted from 'legacy' to web extension that hasn't been diminished in its functionality (if not downright broken).
I'm currently sitting tight on FF52 ESR with a side dish of FF current release where I can keep an eye on where it's going. If sometime next year its crawled back to being something useful I may reconsider. Otherwise I'll be looking around to see what is supporting XUL based add-ons.
I am a little surprised that you have an ESR add-on that works on W7 but not W10 - are you missing a plugin for W10?
XUL is dead. Long live the Google Chrome Clones.

So exactly what the hell is it?
To answer that, we have to turn to our friends at Viz and get the low down, and in a recent interview with those guys at ANN, Viz is all manner of giddy and excited about this new service that they are involved in to launch new anime to the masses.
What Neon Alley is, besides being a creepy name for anime provision, is a subscription based doo-dad that will be offered in North America, and Canada(eh) via console delivery... what?
I guess what this means is that game consoles are about to get a new app, which will be this thing that not only offers anime, in English no less, but 24 hours, and with limited commercials, and new premieres... in fact Viz is grinning like idiots over the fact that the English release of shows like Bunny & Tiger, Inuyasha: The Final Act, and Zetman, will be debuting, and that it will also be showing films like the new Berserk movie, and more.
The subscription does come without its cost though, according to Viz, the new service will be $6.99 a month, and while that's pretty cheap for a dedicated anime channel, I have to ask the question if this is exclusively Viz media, or other anime as well?
If it's the former, then I'm wondering how the heck they even have enough anime to run around the clock.
Guess we'll find out eventually. No exact date on when this is going to hit, but I'd keep your eyes open, and your wallets.

I want one! I used to have case for my macbook, but it was too thick/bulky & kept breaking in parts so I just did away with it. I think I might like a skin better, just something simple to give it a little flair. It's basically like a giant sticker, right?
As for the writer's block - I feel you. Sometimes just forcing myself to write helps, and sometimes a break works better. It just depends. Do you still feel like you're off your blogging game, or has it gotten better?
Happy Holiday Season!Replies
I've had two of those in the past. The first one cracked so I brought another but they are so damn bulky and annoying. I ended up ditching it soon after. Skins are so much easier and yeah, they are like a giant sticker (but better quality in terms of actually sticking fast) Re my blogging game, I'm not sure. I do have my posts planned for the week and I have attempted to plan out the rest of the month so we'll see. Hopefully the quality of writing has improved at least xxDelete

I've been slightly off on my blogging game too, but I'll pin that on the untimely collapse of my internet connection -- right when I felt the most motivated to post because of the jolly season up ahead.

I checked out cassapp.com it reminds me of pic monkey, lol...I'm actually recycling an old iPhone case by covering it with polymer clay. I can't tell you how many times I've changed the design, lol...Perhaps, I will settle on one before the new year! (oh no, maybe I should include 2016 in the design, lol:)
Music does it for me most times but to be perfectly honest, so does a nice glass of wine, or two:) I can definitely understand why some classic writers turned to liquor for foggy inspiration. I also keep a notebook by the side of my bed. I find my creativity seems to awaken just when my body wants to sleep!!!
Thanks for sharing, Sonia...Replies
Oh Louise so nice to see you here! Hope all is well with you. I get awfully tired of my phone cases, too quickly sometimes. I've never thought about doing a little DIY to refresh them. Sadly though cases do not last very long in my possession! xxDelete

Reflection of Sanity | Palmer's Cocoa Butter Care Package Giveaway (Canada ONLY)
I totally share your view of a breather being more advantageous than write write write. Unless you care more about the quantity than the quality then of course write away. Music and stepping away are two ways that I reset and recharge. I see things in a whole new dimension and my motivation peaks afterwards. I suck at being organized and tend to wing things quite often. I've got to hop on that Macbook calendar but I must find it first, haha. Technology is not my friend. Color coding too? I must jump in right away, need that in my life like yesterday. Hopefully that's an option on mine too. Great tips babe. Enjoy your weekend.ReplyDelete
I am a stickler for quality when it comes to my writing which is why pushing through is never a good idea for me. Stepping away does make you see things in a different perspective. But yes, you should totally look into your computers calendar. It's relatively simple and colour coordinating is just the icing on the cake for me xxDelete

Good advice! What I do when I run out of inspiration, I mentally go back to the time when I decided to start my blog and what vision I had at that time. And soon after I find new ideas. I think that over time we overthink the blogging process, instead of just being in the more spontaneous mood with which we had started off.ReplyDelete

Twice condemned for not believing in the TrinitySaturday, January 30th, 2010
On a quiet spot on the outskirts of Geneva, just above the neighbouring bustle of the hospital, stands a memorial, between Beausejour and Roseraie. The Roseraie inscription says "On 27 October 1553, Michel Servet de Villeneuve d'Aragon died on the stake" while the Beausejour side reads: "We, respectful and grateful children of Calvin, our great reformer but condeming an error that was that of his century, and deeply attached to freedom of conscience… built this expiatory monument, on 27 October 1903."
The infrequent passer-by is unlikely to pay too much notice. It is only for those who know about Servetus that this atonement memorial may mean something. A near-by street also honours him, the sign reads: Michel Servet (1511-1553, Spanish physician).
Quite by chance, I had discovered the memorial a few years ago, while a Geneva resident. Sufficiently intrigued by the double reference to Calvin and to freedom of conscience, I had researched the fate of the Spaniard.
This time around, on a visit to Geneva, I was deliberately looking for the memorial, the location of which I only vaguely remembered. I ended up having a bit of a hard time finding it. Assuming Rue Michel Servet would be a logical spot, I walked up and down the street, explored the Plateau de Champel, as Champel is generally indicated as the place where Servetus was burnt at the stake, along with his books. No mention of the execution was to be found on the Plateau.
From there I walked again along the Michel Servet street which winds it way down from the Plateau to the Geneva hospital.
After a little more exploring and walking back and forth, on a side street, I finally spotted the memorial, inaugurated on the 350th anniversary of the Spaniard's death.
Servetus' execution marked the end of a long theological dispute between him and Calvin, at a time when autodafes, and the burning of heretics, were the order of the day throughout Europe.
The Spanish physician was the first to describe and publish about pulmonary circulation. A true humanist, in addition to his medical pursuits, Servetus' studies and research ranged from astrology, geography, jurisprudence to theology.
Born in Villanueva, Aragon, the son of a Catholic notary and a mother whose Jewish ancestors were conversos, Miguel Serveto early on studied Greek, Hebrew and Latin and later went to the University of Toulouse to study law.
After having worked in the service of a Franciscan monk, Quintana, who became Charles V's confessor, Servetus joined the Protestant reformers in Basel, then moved to Strasbourg. There, by the time he was twenty, he published De trinitatis erroribus (On the Errors of the Trinity), which was followed by two more essays in which Servetus, based on his direct readings of the Bible, rejected the doctrine of the Trinity. Servetus also thought that the Trinity dogma made it more difficult to Jews and Moors to convert Christianism.
The books were confiscated. The Spanish Inquisition ordered that he be questioned while warnings were issued against him in several Protestant towns. Servetus fled to Paris where he entered medical school under the name of Michel de Villeneuve. There he met Jean Calvin, a fellow student. Both started engaging in long theological debates, which continued through correspondence after Calvin had to flee Paris, as he was suspected of promoting reformist ideas.
When Michel de Villeneuve was given the position of physician to Archbishop of Vienne Pierre Palmier, he settled in the French city, south of Lyons. While he practised medicine, he also continued his theological research and wrote his major work: Christianismi Restitutio (The Restoration of Christianity). Servetus sent the book to Calvin who responded by sending a copy of his own book: Institutio Christianae Religionis (Institutions of the Christian Religion), which Servetus returned covered with annotations. After a few more exchanges, Calvin stopped the correspondence.
Meanwhile, in Vienne, Michel de Villeneuve was suspected of being the author of the Restitutio and denounced as a heretic. Once his correspondence with Calvin had been produced as evidence, he was soon identified as Servetus. He was arrested by the Roman Catholic authorities in April 1553, and escaped from prison three days following his arrest. On 17 June, the French Inquisition convicted him of heresy and he was sentenced to death by slow burning. The same day, in Vienne, his effigy and his books were burned in abstentia.
While fleeing to Italy, Servetus stopped in Geneva where he was soon recognized and arrested. Following a consultation with four other Swiss cities, the Protestant authorities condemned him: there too he was sentenced to be burned at the stake. Calvin unsuccessfully tried to convince fellow Reformer Farel that the sentence should be executed through decapitation. On 27 October 1553, Servetus perished in the flames, his books attached to his body by a chain.
While many Protestants approved of the execution, some in Basel and other parts spoke against the decision to put heretics to death. The most vocal of them was theologian Sébastien Castellion who in 1562 said: Killing a man is not defending a doctrine, it is killing a man.
Miguel Serveto's legacy has become emblematic of the fight for freedom of thought and freedom of conscience.
It is only at the very beginning of the 20th century that monuments were raised to commemorate Servetus. The Champel memorial was inaugurated in 1903 in the presence of representatives from France. The Geneva memorial being deemed insufficient by the Comite du monument Michel Servet, in 1908, a statue was commissioned, but the Geneva authorities did not authorize its installation. It was then decided to donate the statue to the town of Annemasse, in France, just on the other side of the border.
Thanks to an international fund-raising effort, another monument was inaugurated in 1911 in Vienne. An October 22, 1911 New York Times article describes how Americans and "delegates from every civilized country of the globe" attended the inauguration of yet another statue to commemorate the victim of intolerance.
Servetus' story continues as, at the request of the Vichy Government, the Annemasse monument was destroyed in 1941. The French resistance later organized a wreath-laying ceremony dedicated to Michel Servet, the first victim of fascism. The monument was finally re-erected in 1960. On the pedestal, an inscription reads:
"The arrest of Servetus in Geneva, where he did neither publish nor dogmatize, hence he was not subject to its laws, has to be considered as a barbaric act and an insult to the Right of Nations". Voltaire
In Geneva, the 2009 official commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Calvin's birth did not mention Servetus…

Exclusive Song Premiere: We Are the Wilderness, "Apparitions"
Tue, 05 Aug 2014 11:13:27
Time for a little Tuesday fun in the form of an exclusive premiere that is insanely cool.
ARTISTdirect has teamed up with We Are the Wilderness to premiere their new song "Apparitions" from VALHALLA.
"'Apparitions' is about a faded, ghostly memory," the band told us. "It's the concept of remembering, but nothing about the experience is tangible any more, and as time passes it vanishes into thin air, just a remnant of something that used to be real." The song was recorded at Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn. The mix and the live drums were done by Chris Wallitsch.
Did you see (or hear) the "Apparition?"

Filing a counter claim is probably the single most important thing you can do in defending yourself from a lawsuit brought by a debt collector. There's a great deal to say about counterclaims in debt law cases, and I suggest you look closely at the text of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act itself as you consider what, if any, counterclaims you will bring. In this article, we will just discuss the importance of filing a counterclaim in general
Counterclaim – Why So Important?
In most jurisdictions, which is a fancy way of saying most courts and places, a plaintiff (the person bringing the lawsuit) is allowed to drop the case (that's called "dismissing") if it want to. And usually at any time it wants to. This isn't true of federal court, where you have to get permission, but in most state courts it seems to be true. And debt cases are pretty much always brought in state courts.
That means that the debt collector could get tired of you and just dismiss the case at any time.
That's cool! That's just what we want and what I've been saying you should go for, right?
Yes, but if the debt collector simply dismisses your case, it could also sue you again later or sell the debt to someone else who would sue you later, and that is definitely not cool! You need the case dismissed "with prejudice" to keep it from coming back.
Counterclaims Stop Them from Suing You Again!
So how do you keep them from dismissing the suit and refiling the suit later? You do this by filing a counterclaim against them. A plaintiff can dismiss its own lawsuit, but not your claim against it.
Unless you agree. So if they want to dismiss the case against you either because your claims are good or because they don't want to spend the money chasing you, they either have to settle the case with you, or they're still left defending against your counterclaim. They never do that, because then they'd be bound to lose money one way or another. They'd either have to pay you or their lawyers (or both), — and without the chance of collecting anything from you. The worst of all worlds. They won't do that. Instead, they'll settle the whole case with you.
So a counterclaim gives you power over the plaintiff and lets you keep it around till they agree to destroy the debt (or "extinguish" it, as it is called). A counterclaim means you can put the harassment to an end. And sometimes your counterclaim can be worth a lot more than their lawsuit against you was in the first place.
