Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra India (PressExposure) September 20, 2007 -- Bharat Book Bureau, a leading market information aggregator has put forth a report âCanadian Energy Market Analysis 2007 â([http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=25994])
Canada has large reserves of oil, natural gas and coal. It is the third-largest producer of natural gas, seventh-largest producer of crude oil and has the second-largest reserves of oil worldwide. Canada is one of the highest energy consumers worldwide. This is primarily due to severity of its climate and high level of industrialization. A significant amount of energy output is exported, predominantly to the U.S.
Until recently, most Canadians took it for granted that there would always be an ample, affordable supply. However, a string of hurricanes that extensively damaged American oil production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico in the late summer of 2005 showed how volatile the market can be: gasoline prices spiked across the continent, hitting as high as $1.39 per liter in the wake of hurricane Katrina. That storm knocked out much of the United States' drilling capacity in the Gulf of Mexico and left southern refineries unable to turn crude oil into gasoline and home heating fuel for extended periods.
Canada is slowly becoming a net importer of natural gas. The summer of 2005 was one of the hottest on record in much of the country. That put the electricity grid under pressure in Ontario. The province had to buy power from the U.S. at a rate much higher than what it was charging people and businesses.
A PEST Analysis of the Canadian Energy Industry focuses on how various factors have affected the Canadian energy industry. With rising prices having persuaded governments, businesses and consumers to take a renewed interest in other energy sources, such as nuclear power, solar energy, wind power, biomass and harnessing the energy of tides, there are many changes which are occurring in the energy industry. Technological advances in all those fields are beginning to make these options less costly and more reliable, although obstacles still remain.
This report focuses on all these factors â Political, Economical, Social, and Technological - and the direct effect it has on the Canadian energy industry.

Snowdrop Days at Chelsea Physic Garden
Snowdrops (galanthus plicatus) and primroses – 7 February 2012
Chelsea Physic Garden is closed during the winter months, but every year opens its doors to the public for its Snowdrop Days event in February. This year's Snowdrop Days are from 4 to 12 February–two more days to go!
I went there on Tuesday; this was my third visit, the first time that it was sunny and there was snow (I've only ever been to the Chelsea Physic Garden for the Snowdrop Days, although I do intend to visit in summer some time).
It was lovely. You wouldn't think at the moment that spring is around the corner, but here are heralds of spring, and there are many of them in the garden, on display in a plant theatre and growing in the flower beds. There is a snowdrop trail you can follow, and there are guided tours, too. For more information, see Chelsea Physic Garden's website.

Hyderabad Police Commissioner Anurag Sharma on Monday issued the orders directing the commerical and government establishments to put in place security measures and secure customers and people visiting the premises.
They have been directed to ensure complete frisking of people and not to allow parking of vehicles in front of the buildings.
The police commissioner order covers cinema halls, shopping malls, star hotels, lodges, big establishments, entertainment places and large government/private buildings in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.
The orders came in the wake of Thursday's twin bomb blasts at the crowded Dilsukh Nagar area, killing 16 people and injuring more than 115 others.
The malls, hotels and commercial establishments will install door-frame metal detector at all entry points. "Install closed-circuit TVs for observing and recording suspicious movements/ activities, the recordings of which have to be kept in safe custody for a minimum period of one month," "the commissioner's order said.
Hyderabad has seen rapid growth in the last one decade and there are many malls spread over Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills and the IT corridor from Madhapur to new airport road.

Pelosi criticizes GOP for blocking Competes bill (Tech Daily Dose) — Reports Juliana Gruenwald: "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., criticized Republicans Wednesday for blocking passage of legislation that would reauthorize research and development programs, boost science, math and technology education, and other programs aimed at boosting U.S. competitiveness. ... 'The COMPETES Act will spur innovation, invest in cutting-edge research, modernize manufacturing and create jobs,' Pelosi said in a statement. She added that, 'These all-American goals deserve bipartisan support and have received overwhelming votes in the past. Yet today, as they did last week, Republicans chose cheap political tricks over progress.'"

Pakistan blocks Facebook over caricatures (Reuters) — From the
wire: "The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) directed Internet service providers to block Facebook indefinitely on Wednesday because of an online competition to draw the Prophet Mohammad. ... The order followed a decision by the Lahore High Court temporarily banning Facebook in Pakistan after the country's media reported that the competition would be held on May 20. ... 'The court has ordered the government to immediately block Facebook until May 31 because of this blasphemous competition,' Azhar Siddique, a representative of the Islamic Lawyers Forum who filed a petition in the Lahore High Court, told Reuters."
German prosecutors investigate Google's data collection (NYT) — Reports Kevin J. O'Brien: "Prosecutors in Hamburg opened a criminal investigation of Google on Wednesday over its collecting of private Internet data from unsecured Wi-Fi networks in Germany. ... The action in the city-state of Hamburg, where Google's German headquarters is located, could increase pressure on the company to turn over one of the hard drives used in its data-gathering effort, something Google has declined to do thus far. ... German data protection officials on Monday set a May 26 deadline for Google to hand over a hard drive from one of the roving vehicles it used to compile its 360-degree Street View photo mapping archive."
WikiLeaks works to expose secrets, but sources are a mystery (WaPo) — Joby Warrick digs deeper into the site behind countless news scoops: "For an organization dedicated to exposing secrets, WikiLeaks keeps a close hold on its own affairs. Its Web site doesn't list a street address or phone number, or the names of key officers. Officially, it has no employees, headquarters or even a post office box.Yet, about 30 times a day, someone submits a sensitive document to this cyber-whistleblower to be posted online for all to see. Politicians' private e-mails, secret CIA reports, corporate memos, surveillance video -- all have been fair game.The three-year-old group was catapulted into the spotlight last month when it released a U.S. military video of a helicopter attack on Iraqis, graphic images that drew a worldwide audience.That might have been just the warmup. Newly leaked material -- including what WikiLeaks officials describe as an explosive video of civilian casualties in Afghanistan -- is being prepared for release, part of a growing treasure trove of formerly secret documents and recordings that exceeds a million records."

|The standard yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has been used as thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) in the hot sections of gas turbine engines for several decades. To achieve further improvement to the thermal insulation capability of current TBCs, doping of alternative oxides to zirconia or co-doping of oxides to YSZ has been employed. In our previous study, it has been shown that doping of 7YSZ with titania (TiO2) reduces thermal conductivity of 7YSZ substantially. As TBCs are susceptible to various failure mechanisms, in this study the erosion resistance of TiYSZ at high impingement speed and angle is evaluated along with measurements of hardness (H) and elastic modulus (E). Specimens with 5 different TiO2 doping amounts (5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5% and 15%) are fabricated using plasma spraying and high temperature sintering. The erosion test results show that sample with 5% TiO2 (5TiYSZ) suffers the most erosion damage at high impingement angle due to brittle fracture while 10-15TiYSZ samples exhibit less brittle erosion damage which leads to lower erosion rates under the same test condition. When comparing the erosion rates (defined as the loss of sample mass per mass unit of abrasive particles) to the hardness values, they were found to follow the same trend. The addition of TiO2 (10-15 wt%) had the effect of reducing the erosion rate of 7YSZ at high impingement angle.

Innocent's Progress (1918)
Directed by Frank Borzage
Share on
Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The small town where heroine Tesse Fayne (Pauline Starke) resides is invaded by a third-rate theatrical stock company. The star-struck heroine is immediately smitten by the troupe's leading man, who invites her to pay him a visit in New York. She does so, only to find out that the matinee idol already has a wife -- and a nasty one to boot. Disillusioned, Tesse rushes out into the streets, where she bumps into wealthy clubman Carey Larned (Jack Livingston). Once again, Tesse falls in love, and once again she has selected a man who is already promised to another woman. This time, however, the "other woman" is a kind and gracious lady, who has the good sense to die at film's end so that Tesse and Carey can be married. The fabled "sentimentality" of director Frank Borzage was well in evidence in The Innocent's Progress.

New York Mag chooses "The Chairs" for top five beach reads list. Trampoline Hall tour is soon!
July 10, 2011 § Leave a comment
New York magazine published a list of five books for beach reading this summer, and included The Chairs Are Where the People Go
Quill and Quire reviewed the book, describing it as:
full of advice you never knew you needed and answers to questions you never thought to ask… Glouberman is funny even when it seems he's being serious… It's a fun read that will make readers think about the random things we skim over in everyday life.
The Trampoline Hall tour to promote the book starts soon! We will be in NYC next Thursday, then in Seattle, SF, LA, Montreal, and having a party in Toronto. More info here.
There's great buzz happening about the shows: They are highlighted in the New Yorker and Time Out in NYC, and are top picks at the Stranger in Seattle, and LA Weekly.
More press, blogs. And upcoming tour: NYC, Seattle, SF, L.A., Montreal, Toronto
July 2, 2011 § Leave a comment
The Bookavoreblog writes about the book:
I don't just highly recommend it. I URGE it. I beseech you to read it. I think it will make you happy, and it will be good for your brain, but not in a bran-fiber cereal sort of way. More like how in the summer you can make these salads that are so colorful and delicious that you can't even believe they're healthy. That's what this book is like.
Read the full review here.
Also, Bookforum just posted a conversation between Sheila and Misha. You can read the interview here.
And: Information on our book tour is now up. We'll in in New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Montreal doing a version of the Trampoline Hall Lectures, and will have a launch party in Toronto. See tour information here.
The Paris Review's Thessaly La Force Chooses the Chairs for Her Top 5 Hammock Reads
June 17, 2011 § Leave a comment
From http://thewindow.barneys.com/top-5-hammock-reads-thessaly-la-force/
"Every summer, magazines inundate us with lists of "Beach Reads." Most of these mind-numbing titles boast pink covers with stick figure women swinging purses and walking little dogs; reading them is like eating Twinkies—it's fun at the time, but leaves you queasy and sugar-sated after the fact.
So, we've decided to counter with a different sort of summer book list: the "Hammock Read," for the intellectual woman who doesn't necessarily want to turn her brain off once the thermostat hits 85 degrees.
To cull the list of smart-food titles out there this season, we called our friend Thessaly La Force, web editor at The Paris Review, alumnus of The New Yorker and all-around literary It girl. Ms. La Force is living proof that style and substance needn't be strangers—and so is her chic list of Hammock Reads below."
First on the list:
The Chairs are Where the People Go
Sheila Heti and Misha Glouberman
"A charming collection of essays by the creators of Trampoline Hall, a Toronto-based lecture series. Sheila, a novelist, finds her friend Misha—a community organizer, charades instructor, and more—so interesting that they made a list of topics (games, cities, Casablanca, friends). Sheila typed down everything Misha said, and then they turned it all into a whimsical book!"
Read the full article at: http://thewindow.barneys.com/top-5-hammock-reads-thessaly-la-force/
More press: Chatelaine, Believer, Paris Review, Bookforum
June 9, 2011 § Leave a comment
More press and reviews are coming in for the book!
Chatelaine selected it for their list of summer's "Best Reads", writing:
"Like chatting with author Misha Glouberman, host of Toronto's theatrical Trampoline Hall lecture series, while fellow creator and author Sheila Heti holds the mike… An enjoyably eccentric read."
The June issue of the Believer features an excerpt from the book, along with a pull-out postcard which reprints the book's advice for making friends in a new city. (You can read an excerpt of that excerpt here).
The Paris Review Daily will include an excerpt from the book, the week of July 11, 2011.
Also, there will be a short interview with Sheila and Misha about the book on the Bookforum website, in a few weeks.
You can see a full list of reviews and press on our main web site.
Review in Prism Magazine
May 31, 2011 § Leave a comment
Prism Magazine published a review of the book:
Glouberman's life lessons sound like a cross between your wisest, kindest and funniest friend and your eccentric uncle. …. It's about interacting with people in an authentic and respectful and playful way. And his voice is engaging and the prose clean…. It's certainly a pleasure to spend a few hours with Misha Glouberman now that Sheila Heti has introduced him to us.
Back from BEA – BookExpo America
May 28, 2011 § Leave a comment
Last week, we were at BookExpo America, the massive book fair, to promote our book. Misha did two talks: A 7-minute slideshow on how to talk to people about things (part of 7x20x21) and an hour-long workshop on setting up chairs.
There was a really great writeup on the book site of the LA Times. They called the first talk "One of the most interesting presentations at Book Expo America". The said the book was "intelligent, quirky, charming, hard to classify … a sign of health in the publishing industry. It shows that there is a willingness to take risks – and maybe even have some fun."
The second workshop was written about in Bookforum, who said "As Glouberman put it, 'There's no line item in the budget for making conferences not suck,' but a page or two from his book—which is about much more than just meetings—would help accomplish that lofty goal."

Author has written 3 stories for Castle, and Teen Wolf.
I ended up changing my last profile because it seemed a little too perfect and honestly I hate when things are perfect because real life has flaws so instead I'm just writing this quick little summary of me. For one thing, writing has always been my escape and my dream. Ever since second grade I've wanted to have a book published (I know kind of a weird dream for an eight year old but what can I say I'm weird) and now I am currently working on about seven ideas for books along with my writing here so yeah... I'm a little busy. I honestly try keeping my writing out of my real life because I feel like none of my friends or family really see it as anything but in that type of way that is just humoring you so this is my outlet. This is where I can just be known by my writing and writing alone and I like that kind of anonymity. So basically if anyone ever just wants to start a random conversation I promise I wont think you are weird, like I said before I am weird and I like it that way.
Also my ideas of love are a little less traditional. Honesty I don't really ever see myself falling in love not because I don't want to but because I just honestly don't think it will happen. As it is my love life is horrible and so far the closest thing I've had to a relationship is my best guy friend who told me he loved me then later after I moved I found out he was gay so that alone was confusing enough. The funny thing though is that despite my rather bleak outlook on love my writing is incredibly sappy and the happy ending type. I guess that's another reason I focus solely on writing romance. To me my writing is like a fantasy that I am able to get a taste of through words.
As for an explanation about my username that was the work of my best friend. The one thing I am truly lucky enough to have is one of those absolutely crazy friend who you've known forever and can be completely yourself around and considering how often I move around having her as a friend is nothing short of a miracle. Anyway the whole perfect nonsense thing I got from her one day when we were joking around, laughing for no apparent reason, and through the laughter I sarcastically said "Yes that makes perfect sense" to which she replied "What? I don't know what you are talking about I make perfect nonsense." I couldn't help but think how well that suited me because in truth I make absolutely no sense but for me that's whats perfect. So I decided to use it for this half of my life where I truly don't have to make sense.
But anyway I hope you guys like my writing and let me know what you think because at this point what I want more than anything is to get a real opinion of my writing so I can actually improve my writing enough so that maybe one day if I'm really lucky my dream will come true.

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird and when we find someone who's weirdness is compatible with ours then we join up with them and fall into a mutual weirdness and call it love"

Do you believe it? I guess not , but 1 month ago (13rd June) at a Chinese forum a mysterious guy who said that he was from the future foretold that Holand will beat Spain with 2:1 in the final of this World Cup.
No one paid attention the first few weeks but with time this post became very famous even medias are reporting it.
If you can read Chinese check the original post by yourself:
Besides the World Cup he also foretold some disasters on earth in the near future and locations, I dont want to believe him but it was pretty hard to foretell the result even which will be the two teams in final especially 1 month ago. And even he was just someone who wanted to foretell did he need to pretent to be a futureman?
Let's wait till 12th to see if he was totally right, but the question is what if he was right, will you believe the disasters ??

Dave's Tour Log – Issue 1 – Legends of Rock weekend, March 7th 2015
It's 8.00am and I am sitting in Betty, the name lovingly given to the Mama tour van. I'm with John W, James and Andrew as we set off on our epic trip from the North West to Great Yarmouth. The weather is gorgeous and we all have a spring in our step. The van is in good form and we head off on the open road (well, the M6 anyway) and the conversation varies from music to maths – yes maths.
It was going very nicely thank you, until a car pulled up in front of us and flashed FOLLOW ME through its back window. So we exited the motorway and found ourselves driving into a Police check area. Lots of questions flashed through our minds! Did we insure the van? YES. Is the MOT up to date? YES. Do the tyres have legal tread? YES. Should we ask the Policeman to amend his car sign to say FOLLOW YOU first? Er NO. JW is wearing his Mama T-shirt and one of the Policemen is a big Genesis fan. He approaches John and asks him a key question, "What era do you do?"
"All era's matey!" That said we pass the test and drive back onto the motorway.
Sat Nav & Radio issues
We are using Andrew's mobile phone sat nav as the one in the van isn't very good. The last time we turned it on it simply said, "You are lost!" While Andrew is resting his eyes, we think about attaching his phone to the radio so that we can hear it advising us on which way to go. Unfortunately the van's radio came free in a Christmas Cracker and as such does not appear to allow you to manually tune in to particular radio frequencies, so we need Andrew awake to tell us which way to go. This is the point where Andrew defines the term "normal" as meaning one who has a broken radio and will get it repaired. Clearly JW isn't normal. View full article »

Thames Reach has been campaigning
relentlessly since 2005 to get super-strength drinks taxed more heavily as
medical studies indicate that people's behaviour with respect to drinking is
heavily influenced by the price of the products available. The campaign is not
anti-alcohol but focuses on the fact that super-strength drinks are a breed
apart from regular and premium strength drinks and aimed at people with drink
Communications Manager, Mike Nicholas, said:
"Thames Reach is aware of over 50 deaths directly attributable to
super-strength drinks among the homeless people we help in the past three years
alone. Super-strength ciders and lagers have become one of the biggest
killers of homeless people in the UK. They are responsible for the deaths of
more homeless men and women than either heroin or crack cocaine.
"In wider society they are responsible for
anti-social behaviour, crime and spiralling health costs.
"A single can of 9% lager contains a massive
four and a half units of alcohol. It only takes one can to exceed the
Government's daily recommended safe alcohol limit of three to four units for
men and two to three units for women."
There have been some major successes – recently,
the Coalition Government increased the tax on super-strength lagers, a move we
welcome and one which follows on from talks Thames Reach had with the Treasury.
Thames Reach has also been calling on the
drinks industry to behave more responsibly and behave in line with their
corporate social responsibility policies.
Mike Nicholas, said: "Again there have been
some successes with Heineken removing White Lightening – known as White Frightening
among street drinker – and super-strength Strongbow Black from their range of
drinks, citing its poor reputation for being linked with problem drinkers. This
follows on from a visit by their staff to one of our hostels which houses
former rough sleepers with drink issues. It's a brave move and one that we
applaud, especially at a time when the recession threatens profits.
"However there is still a big problem with
other super-strength ciders white ciders."
The producers of white cider are exploiting
tax breaks intended to help the cider industry develop orchards growing
traditional cider apples, whilst sometimes using importing apple concentrate
from abroad.
The result has been extremely cheap
super-strength white ciders at 7.5% becoming the drink of choice for many.
According to Mike Nicholas: "The last
Government pledged to tackle the growing menace but instead of targeting
super-strength white ciders, hit the whole cider industry including the regular
strength ciders sold in pubs, with a 10% above inflation tax hike. The result
was an outcry which led to the plans being dropped. Probably rightly so, but
this has led to the more unscrupulous elements of the drinks industry being
able to exploit this to carry on producing these dangerous super-strength white
ciders at extremely cheap prices."
In the recent years, wholesale companies
have flooded corner shops and off licences across the UK with very cheap and
very strong super-strength ciders.
Unlike the big drinks companies, these
wholesale companies appear to be entirely unregulated. None of them are sighed
up to the Portman Group, the drinks industry self-regulatory body, and don't
appear to have any corporate social responsibility guidelines.
Companies such as Bestway have flooded their
local markets across the UK (including London) with their own products such as
White Ace. Although they don't advertise to the public via TV ads, they
aggressively market these drinks at heavily discounted prices to off licences
and corner stores. See attachment.
The result is these stores stacking large
quantities of these super-strength ciders which become the drink of choice for
Only 20 years ago these drinks simply
weren't available and cider was generally much weaker in strength.
Mike Nicholas, added: "Are we happy as a
society for these super-strength drinks to receive tax breaks and be so widely
available, with the appalling consequences that this entails?
"Critics would argue that any campaign to
hit the trade in super-strength drinks would see a switch to other dangerous
drinks. Our own experience in our projects where we try to encourage people to
either give up alcohol or minimise the harm they are doing to themselves
through alcohol consumption, has in fact seen real improvements in people's
health and behaviour when they switch to regular and premium strength drinks."
20,000 rough sleepers have been helped off
the streets by homelessness charities in London over the past ten years. Many
ended up on the streets because of an addiction to alcohol. The vast majority
of the homeless people with alcohol addictions were super-strength cider and
lager drinkers. Sadly many have died. Others, perhaps in their forties and
fifties, are now coined 'the young olds' as their physical and mental health is
more typical of people much older – liver disease, brain damage and double
incontinence are typical problems.
Mike Nicholas, said: "We have a well
established beer and cider drinking culture in the UK and we don't wish to
challenge that. We just don't think that super-strength drinks should be so
cheap and so strong and marketed towards people with drink problems.
Super-strength white ciders are far cheaper than alcopops which the media often
focus on. Of course alcoholism won't completely disappear if these
super-strength drinks disappear but we can rescue future generations of
teenagers from developing dangerous drinking habits."

Bear Ceuse, Radical Dads, The Can't Tells, Amy Klein
The Rock Shop
249 4th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11215
Doors 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
St. Louisan Cameron Matthews' move to NYC has proven to be his best
decision yet, turning this Midwestern songwriter's dreams of taking on the big city into a
reality by recruiting some of Brooklyn and Manhattan's finest players.
Led by the husky/sweet vocals of Matthews, Bear Ceuse is filled out by the fanciful
and dissonant guitar work of Chicagoan Adam Horne, French horn extraordinaire and
current Juilliard student Jordan James on bass, and New School alum/jazz mainstay
Danny Sher on drums.
Bear Ceuse's upcoming record Don Domestique is inspired by the '90s hardcore sound of
Chapel Hill, and focuses Matthews' efforts on the home and the meaning of domesticity.
Recorded by long-time collaborator Patrick Crecelius at Seaside Lounge (Beirut,
the National, Okkervil River) in Brooklyn, and mastered by Paul Gold at SALT, Don
Domestique is a rock 'n' roll beast. The band was recently discovered by U.K.-based label
Medical Records, who will release their debut album in early 2013.
Radical Dads
Brooklyn never seems to let up with interesting new music and Radical Dads are no exception. Their howling guitars and anthem-like vocals should really put them on the music radar when they play the upcoming CMJ Festival in New York.
We are a band.
We embrace brevity with concisely written whatever in hopes of being listened to by you.
We are loud.
Amy Klein

The Fiction of Imperialism attempts to promote dialogue between international relations and postcolonialism. It addresses the value of fiction to an inderstanding of the imperial relationship between the West and Asia and Africa. A wide range of fiction and crisicism is examined as it pertains to colonialism, the North/South engagement and contemporary Third World politics. The book begins by contrasting the treatment of cross-cultural relations in political studies and literary texts. It then examines the personal as a metaphor for the political in fiction depicting the imperial connection between Britain and India. This is paired with an analysis of African literary texts, which takes as its theme the relationship between culture and politics. The concluding chapters approach literature from the outside, considering its apparent silence on economics and realpolitik and assessing the utility of postcolonial reconceptualisations. Phillip Darby is Reader in International Relations, University of Melbourne and Co-Director of the Institute of Postcolonial Studies, Melbourne, Australia.

Slavens Early Origins
Fermanagh (Irish: Fear Manach) in the southwestern part of Northern Ireland, Province of Ulster, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
Slavens Spelling Variations
Slavens Spelling Variations
The recording of names in Ireland during the Middle Ages was an inconsistent endeavor at best. Since the general population did not know how to read or write, they could only specify how their names should be recorded orally. Research into the name Slavens revealed spelling variations, including Slavin, Slaving, Slevin, Sleving, Slevan, Sleavin and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In the 19th century, thousands of Irish left their English-occupied homeland for North America. Like most new world settlers, the Irish initially settled on the eastern shores of the continent but began to move westward with the promise of owning land. The height of this Irish migration came during the Great Potato Famine of the late 1840s. With apparently nothing to lose, Irish people left on ships bound for North America and Australia. Unfortunately a great many of these passengers lost their lives - the only thing many had left - to disease, starvation, and accidents during the long and dangerous journey. Those who did safely arrive in "the land of opportunities" were often used for the hard labor of building railroads, coal mines, bridges, and canals. The Irish were critical to the quick development of the infrastructure of the United States and Canada. Passenger and immigration lists indicate that members of the Slavens family came to North America quite early:

Pieces from "My Letter to Fear" were featured in a one-night only special showcase event on September 20, 2014.
The first interview of my blog tour is now up at Christine Presents! It was a fun one to do, and I'm excited to share with readers how the collection came to be. Here's the link: https://christineyoungauthor.com/2016/12/05/christine-presents-my-letter-to-fear-by-patricia-steffy/ Enjoy!
Exciting news! I have joined up with Goddess Fish Promotions for a book tour to promote "My Letter to Fear!" Over the next two weeks, I'll be giving interviews and writing guests posts to give readers a better sense of the book and of me. Honestly, it's probably the most I've talked about myself
At the start of every year, I do a review of what worked and what didn't – which resolutions I kept and which ones got shunted off to the side, only to be hidden in darkness. I'm happy to say that most years, there are more in the first group than in the second. Alas,
We all hit it. We are rolling along with the full cooperation of whatever muse we've summoned, and suddenly all inspiration flees the scene. We try to plow through. We fail. We spend a lot of time staring at a blank screen. We spend more time checking the Internet and procrastinating on Instagram. Quickly, frustration
I'm excited to finally be able to share with you the first book trailer for "My Letter to Fear: Essays on Life, Love and the Search for Prince Charming." The video combines video snippets of me (don't worry, they aren't too long) and clips from the staged-reading in September (which still thrills me). Clips feature
I have officially started my author website! For years, Dating in LA and Other Urban Myths has been acting as everything from series content source to writing blog, and I decided that it was time to separate the two. Not that there won't be cross-over. Obviously, there will be! However, I'm writing so much now
I can't believe it is already Wednesday. My only excuse for not posting about Saturday's event sooner is that I'm still processing—not because anything bad happened, but because so much good happened that I can't quite get my brain around it yet. First, I have to thank everyone who came out to support the reading.
Singer/Composer Rain Perry has composed an incredible theme song for the web series! We can't wait for you to hear it. In the meantime, editing continues on the behind-the-scenes features for the presentation pilot DVD.

Nootropics Such As Geniux Work As A Boost To The Brain's Cognitive Abilities
Nootropic is a word derived from Greek meaning 'towards the mind'. Therefore nootropics are a class of drugs that can also be referred to as brain enhancers or boosters. In a broader view, they fall into a category of drugs known as PIED (performance and image enhancing drugs) since they enhance lifestyle in terms of athletic and sexual performance, learning potential and musculature. However, they should not be used as 'supplements' but in a regulated manner as 'drug'.
How Do Nootropics Work?
Nootropics, or any other 'smart drug' never augment mental abilities of the user. Preferably, they augment the mental strength that the user has already fostered. Mental abilities can be improved via studying, discipline and participating in mental exercises. Nootropics such as geniux work as a boost to improve cognizance by partnering with the brain's natural transmitters and oxygen amounts in the brain. Geniux is a 100% natural brain booster made up of natural ingredients. Ingredients in Geniux such as vitamins, antioxidants, royal bee pollen, eleuthero extracts and others that are natural make it special since there are no side effects from harmful chemicals. Many degenerative conditions that we encounter in our daily lives have a depletive effect on our brain transmitters and this is the main target of nootropics. Once taken, there are positive benefits experienced in neurotransmitters like glutamate, acetylcholine, serotonin and dopamine.
The positive benefits are associated by the ability of nootropics to improve the elasticity of neurons and their effects of vasodilation, increasing blood flow into the brain. Increased blood flow into the brain means a higher supply of glucose, nutrients and oxygen. This in turn leads to an immediate experience of grater memory capacity and focus.
Neuro-protection and neuro-preservation is another quality displayed by nootropics. This is associated by their direct effect to the levels of chemicals in the brain that discourage the aging process. They do so by increasing the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and nerve growth factor which stimulate the development of neurites and neurons while discouraging the rate of damage as well. Consequently, this could perhaps slow down effects of aging like memory loss and even thwart the onset of conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
Nootropic stacking: A Term Used When Two Compounds Are Combined
When combined, the benefits of nootropics can be improved, while reducing the side effects. The basic stacks that one can begin with include;
L-Theanine + caffeine:
The benefit of this combo is that it will improve your motivation, focus and mood. A 1:2 ratio will work best (take 100mg of L-Thenaine and 200mg of caffeine to get the desired effect).
Choline + piracetam:
This is a highly beneficial stack than the first one as it contains piracetam, the very first nootropic to be discovered for its ability to enhance acetylcholine uptake. Choline on the other hand is associated with the synthesize of acetylcholine, which is the best reason behind its perfect association with piracetam. When taken, this combination helps in memory improvement and diminished headache. A ratio of 1500mg piracetam and 250mg makes a good combination.
Even though nootropics are interesting and perhaps very useful drugs that are worth of further research, their use as smart drugs is doubtful from a credibility standpoint and lacks ample evidence. Therefore, if your health status is not compromised and want to augment your cognizance function, there are some other activities you can engage in and have a dramatic effect than just popping these 'smart pills'. Have in mind that the effect of stimulants is short term, only before the body is tolerated to them.

Day 30: Uxmal - Becán - Cicanná - Xpujil
Xpujil Travel Blog› entry 38 of 120 › view all entries
We were glad when the sun came up, warming our tent a little in the early morning.
We set out straight after breakfast, as we had quite some distance to travel. If possible, we wanted to reach the ruins of Calakmul tonight, but if possible also sleep in a proper bed - camping was fun last night, but not to be repeated in this cold.
The twisting road led us past several tiny villages, smack in the middle of nowhere, and it made us wonder just how the people lived here. Gathering dead wood seems to be the main profession of choice, really, we saw many people walking on the road pushing a wheelbarrow full of wood.
We picked up a hitchhiker, who had to get to the bus stop, 50 kilometres down the road.
It was quite funny. I drank some water from a water bottle and offered him the last bit. He gladly emptied the bottle (must have been thirsty after waiting for a lift for so long) and he wanted to throw the empty bottle out of the window.
"No!" the two of use shouted.
"But why not?" he replied, perplexed.
We explained to him that we're not Mexicans, so we throw our garbage in a garbage can. He stared at us in disbelief "wow, that is really good..."
I had expected he wouldn't understand our point of view, but he actually did. He agreed with us Mexico would be a much more beautiful country if there wouldn't be so much garbage lying around.
We dropped him off in the town of Xpujil (a name you pronounce by clearing spit from the back of your throat), which lies on the T-junction of the main road north to Mérida and the East-West road from Chetumal to Campeche.
From here it was another 120 kilometres to the ruins of Calakmul, which we were planning on visiting today. But first we decided to find a place to sleep for tonight. The Lonely Planet recommended Hotel Calakmul. This place had, apart from nice luxury rooms, also little wooden cabañas, which were a lot cheaper.
We had a little lunch here and met with a Canadian couple who were doing more or less the same route as we were, only in oppposite direction. They told us we wouldn't make it to Calakmul anymore today, as the road was too difficult to drive. We'd need at least 2 hours to drive there, and it was not recommended to drive in the dark. So we decided to go tomorrow morning instead, which would also increase our chances of seeing some animals in the jungle.
So we spent the afternoon exploring some other nearby ruins. This region is Maya Mecca, so to speak, with more than 50 sites in the vincinity of Xpujil. And it is believed that there may even be more, undiscovered site in the jungle!
About 8 kilometres from Xpujil lies the old Mayan settlement of Becán.
This was such a difference from the more popular sites, which often feel too sterile because everything has been restored as if new, and all overgrowth has been removed.
From the top of the highest temple (30 metres) you could have a great overview of the surroundings. The land is very flat here, and completely overgrown with jungle, so all you could see was a green carpet of trees, with here and there a grey speck of the top of a ruin protruding.
The second place we visited was Chicanná, an even smaller settlement, which was not overly interesting. The ruins here were mainly of residential dwellings, which are a lot less impressive than the vast temples we'd seen elsewhere. But what made it special was that we were the only ones here. I remember Teotihucán and Monte Álban, where thousands of people were walking around in between the temples. Secretly I liked this better. We felt like Indiana Jones and Lara Croft joining forces to search for hidden treasures in lost cities...
We spent the evening leisurely sitting in our cabin, reading a book with a good glass of wine and a cigar. The cigar was the last one I had left from the pack of locally made cigars from San Cristóbal, and the wine we had found here in a local liqor store in Xpujil, which is quite unique since Mexico isn't really a wine country. But the guy who ran this store had a few bottles left and was all too happy to sell one to us.
I know, it's a hard life...

UCLA didn't back away when Grace Taylor dropped a 10-spot on them, but Courtney McCool finally slammed the door on the Bruins to keep Georgia's home-court winning streak alive.
Taylor recorded a perfect score on the balance beam, but the team title was still up in the air until McCool provided the winning margin as the floor anchor to carry No. 5 Georgia to a 197.9-197.875 win against No. 3 UCLA on Saturday at Stegeman Coliseum.
► Click here for photo gallery
Taylor and the Bruins' Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs matched 10.0s on the balance beam.
It was Taylor's second career 10 on beam. She also had one on uneven parallel bars in 2008.
"That was one of the most fun routines of my life," Taylor said. "Every skill was there. The atmosphere was there. Our team reached a new level today. I felt every single girl on the team and every coach and everybody on the staff doing that routine with me. Most of all, it was a moment of true, skill-by-skill surrender. That's worship for me."
Georgia scored a 9.9 on floor exercise and UCLA countered with a 9.9 on balance beam.
Mizuki Sato hit a 9.5 on beam in UCLA's final run of the night. McCool needed to hit 9.9 to tie on the Gym Dogs' final run of the night. She hit a 9.925 to give Georgia its 21st consecutive home win.
"It feels good," McCool said. "That is just an incredible feeling of accomplishment for our team in itself. It was an incredible accomplishment for us to go out there and lay everything out and let go of the pressure."
UCLA ran off a 9.925 from Anna Li, a 9.925 from Vanessa Zamarripa and a 9.50 from Mizuki Sato, in addition to the 10.0 from Hopfner-Hibbs on beam.
Georgia hit 9.95 from Mauro, 9.925 from Cassidy McComb and 9.9 from Taylor before McCool's final run.
"McCool was doing her last pass, her new last pass for the first time this year, and we had told her to compete fearlessly and knock it out," Georgia coach Jay Clark said. "As soon as I saw (Sato's) 9.95 go up, I wished I could run out there and tell her to leave it out and go conservative. She did a great job and that kid is so confident in herself, it's amazing."
Georgia and UCLA traded body blows like a pair of heavyweight boxers most of the match.
Georgia started two freshmen Noel Couch and Christa Tanella on beam to replace injured Shayla Worley and benched Kat Ding.
Couch had only performed once on beam and Tanella was making her fourth start on Saturday.
The Gym Dogs initiated the action for both good and bad when Hilary Mauro fell off of the beam on the Gym Dogs' second pass.
"Hilary is such an amazing beam worker," Couch said. "She gets up there and she does her skills with such ease. But she wasn't perfect tonight and it was up to us to pick her up. That's why you've got teammates."
Couch hit a career-high 9.9. Tanella followed with her career-high 9.9 to change the momentum after Mauro's fall. Taylor followed up the freshmen with her 10.
"I'm beginning to understand that is the ultimate place to be in competition, up on that beam," Tanella said. "Everything is still. There's just four inches and you up there. I'm beginning to love it. It's beginning to be my favorite place in the whole world up there. But we were just the setup for the greatness, right there. Grace went up and she was greatness."
Georgia established early momentum as Ding hit a career-high 9.975 on vault. She received a 10.0 from one judge and a 9.95 from the other. Mauro also had a 9.9 on vault. Ding also hit a 9.9 on bars.
"I really didn't think it was that good of a vault until I landed," Ding said. "I was like, 'Aw man, I stuck.' I don't know what was wrong with it. Just all of the sudden, I was there and I didn't move my feet."
NOTEWORTHY: McCool fell on the uneven parallel bars and scored a 9.325. ... Georgia at least equaled season highs times. ... Georgia's 197.9 was the second-highest total in the nation this season behind a 197.950 by Oklahoma on Friday. Georgia's previous best this season was a 197.250 at Florida. ... Georgia is unbeaten in its last 33 home meets dating back to 2005.

Moroccans go to polls as monarchy cedes powers
Moroccans voted in a parliamentary election yesterday that could yield their most representative government ever, after King Mohammed ceded some powers to prevent any tumultuous spillover of Arab Spring uprisings.
The election will be a litmus test of the ability of Arab monarchies to craft reforms that would placate popular yearning for greater democracy without violence-ridden revolts of the sort seen in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen and Syria this year.
Some 13.6 million Moroccans registered to vote in the North African country's ninth election since independence from France in 1956. The voter turnout stood at 34pc by 5pm, nine hours after the vote began, the interior ministry said.
Voter turnout at the previous polls in 2007 stood at a record low 37pc of 15.5 million voters registered then by the interior ministry. The ministry has not explained the drop in the number of registered voters between 2007 and 2011.
State-run 2M television channel said some of the highest turnout rates on Friday were in the disputed Western Sahara.
Shoe shiner Mohamed said he may vote before polling stations close.
"I have to vote so that we can end the misery we live in," he said as he crouched waiting for customers on a busy Rabat boulevard. "That's all we have for now: patience and a vote."
In contrast to previous elections, Friday's vote is a closely run contest between a moderate Islamist party and a new coalition of liberals with close ties to the royal palace.
"We don't know what to expect. We hope voter turnout will exceed 50pc and that today we will mark a victory of democracy," said Abdelilah Benkirane, leader of the Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD), as he voted in Rabat's middle-class Les Orangers neighbourhood.
His rival Salaheddine Mezouar, leading the liberal Alliance for Democracy coalition, also could not make any predictions.
"The feedback is positive so far. . . people are going to the polling stations. . . I'm confident Moroccans are well aware of the particular meaning of the current context," he told Reuters after he voted in the upper-class Souissi neighbourhood.
Under constitutional reforms backed by the king earlier this year, the new government will have unprecedented powers, though the king retains the final say on the economy, security and religion.

Faster Pussycat L.A. rockers Faster Pussycat didnt quite achieve the stardom of contemporaries Guns n Roses, but they had a run with goodtime party hits from the late 80s through the early 90s. Founder/singer Taime Downe remains the only original member, but the blokes still rock and, aside from some industrial rock experimentation, the bottom line remains glam, sleaze rock and hair metal. With Venrez and Hair Nation. $13/$15. Tremont Music Hall. tremontmusichall.com. (Samir Shukla)
Lana Rebel Leaning at times to the Cowboy Junkies or Lucinda Williams and at moments on old schoolers like Loretta Lynn, Lana Rebels dusty country music is moody and sparse. She writes wind-strewn tales that populate the recent release, Mistakes We Can Live With, recorded with her band the Broken Promises. Also on the bill: Broken Napoleons and Nightingale News. $5. Snug Harbor. snugrock.com. (Shukla)
Memphis May Fire Sure, there are a ton of bands doing the hard alterna-rock that the Memphis May Fire spews. The guitars, akin to tires spinning in the mud, are touched-up with good ole Southern rock and sharp lyrics that keeps this combo from getting mired in the masses. The alternating sung and growled vocals keep a decent balance. With Decoder, Ten After Two, and Thats Outrageous. $10/$12. Amos Southend. amossouthend.com. (Shukla)
Jon Lindsay Charlotte musician Jon Lindsay is the latest to get the live q&a treatment in this ongoing series at the Evening Muse. Offering a different kind of concert than youd normally see, artists are asked about their songwriting process, lyrical content and more in between acoustic or stripped down versions of their songs. $7. 8 p.m. The Evening Muse. www.eveningmuse.com.
