modations for strangers; so that he was frequently surrounded by numbers of the neighbouring cowskin gentry; he was remarkably polite and attentive in getting them sprightly bedfellows, for he had a seraglio of fine wenches at command, and was considered the most obliging, simple, good natured, pimple fellow existing.
Little Consequence, a journeyman weaver, had not been six months a book.keeper, until, through the influence of his brother, a pedagogue, who got the parsonage of one of the best parishes in the island, he was preferred to the management of a fine estate in the parish of Vere; the little shuttle-driver, being elevated from the threadle to a cowskin hero, purchased horses, a kitterine, and fine clothes, and was soon honoured with the appellation of the beau planter; in short, he was the prince and emperor of coxcombs, and was making a fortune rapidly, until an unlucky circumstance transpired, which blasted and ruined his reputation ever after. It appeared that Little Consequence was very industriously inclined, and had an uncommon itch for that sort of traffic called higling, which induced him to dispose of pare of the sugars and rum privately, also, the plantation stock and stores, until at length these matters were detected, and poor Little Consequence was disoanded in disgrace! I am sorry to fay that there are too many Sneaking-Cautions, and Little Consequences, in Jamaica, and all over the West Indies.
An overseer should be allowed a generous falary ; nor should he be permitted to pamper horses, cattle, nor stock of any kind, to fell or barter for his own emolument; nor should he be intrusted to dispose of any of the estate's produce, least he ihould be tempted to act dishonestly. I knew many overseers who accumulated very rapidly large properties by retailing rum and stock for the use of the proprietors, and yet to support tolerable good characters, because their vilJai'ny was not detected. .
I must not omit to mention a very wrong practice of overseers, most injurious to proprietors in general; that is, planting Indian corn, or peas, amongst the canes; it is very evident to the meanest capacity, that the richest foil will be impoverished more or less, according to the load of vegetables it produces; for every plant extracts its peculiar nourishment from the earth; the nurse who suckles more than one babe at once will exhaust herself, nor can she do them all justice; the simiiie between vegetables and animals in this case is nearly the fame; for if that food on which two, or three, meagre animals barely exist was given to one, it might be sufficient to fatten it; hence, if that soil on which poor canes and spindly corn grow at once, was allotted to canes or corn only, either might flourish luxuriously. Ic was a very shrewd and farcallical faying of a gentleman who had been many years in England, and had left the attorneyship
of of his estate to a cabbage-headed gentleman in Kingstown: On his return, finding Indian corn flourishing through the canes (for corn has a luxurious stalk, and has the advantage of canes in quick vegitation) the corn was freed from weeds and caresully moulded, and the canes neglected. Seeing his plantation in such a ruined condition, he with much composure of mind very tamely addressed the overseer, whose name was Fungee, thus : '« Mr. Fungee, I find you are very industrious; you certainly have uncommon abilities, and will make a fine crop of corn to pamper your horses, swine, and poultry! but do not you think them worthless canes rather hurtsul to it? Suppose you would order the slaves to set in and hoe them up. What fay you, Mr. Fungee?"
Poor Fungee was so confounded that he was incapable to reply; conscious guilt glowed in his face, and indicated the agitations of his avaricious heart; but how miserably was this lofty cowfkin hero fallen in two days afterwards, upon receiving a letter directing him to give up charge of the plantation to the bearer, and to quit it immediately.
Now, the real fact was this: the cabbageheaded gentleman in Kingstown was related to Fungee, and had been always supplied with mutton, pork, and poultry, also corn in wane loads for his horses and negroes from the estate: he was affected to be deprived of those valuable snacks, and to find his reputation, like a football, kicked about.
It is very customary for overseers to mix the weak and sickly negroes in the fame gang with the stout and healthy, and to make them keep up their rows alike; and when any of those miserable, and probably half-starved wretches lag, to insist on their black deputies to cut and mangle their shrivelled skins, and torture them from morning 'till night, in like manner as if they were mules or oxen! instead of nourishing them with proper food, and dividing them into different gangs, proportioning the work to their abilities and strength. Such overseers deserve not the name os men; they are as bad as hangmen*, barbarous as hottentots, with favage souls. Overseers endeavour to persuade that it must be so, and fay that the West Indies would be of no use if severity was not exerted; and many masters of slaves entertain the fame notion, and have as little pity and regard for them as for their oxen, as it is their interest to preserve the lives of both and to get as much labour as possible out of them. Even Creole children, as soon as they begin to lisp, are taught to tyrannize over their domestics; thus, custom, the despotic ruler of reason, it dead to the voice of humanity, and smothers benevolence and charity.
The company and converfation of overseers, in general, is fiat and insipid to all but themlelves, and seldom extends surther than that of their vast consequence and authority over the staves, their uncommon abilities as planters, their amours
and and gallantry with black and tawny wenches; of their insulting tyrannic behaviour to their raw book-keepers, or exposing the blemishes of their absent neighbouring acquaintances; or of corn and cane pieces; and the ways and means they severally practice to deceive the attornies or proprietors; such commonly are the topical subjects of the planting herd. » The life of an overseer is by no means a life of
ease or content; though he may at times indulge himself in every vicious practice, yet, while he fits an hour extraordinary after dinner with his friends, he is uneasy in his mind least something is neglected, or he may be surprized by the attorney.
• And if men, whose bread depend on planter
ship, enter into the connubial bond, it will injure them, because it is not pleasing to gentlemen to have families on their estates; a woman requires attendance, and may interfere with the management, so as to influence her husband in the government of the rod; besides, a lovely amiable white partner would appear as an angel amongst naked rude blacks, and attract her husband to squander that time which should be devoted to plantation duty in a more delightsul manner; so that batchelors fare best, on which account they keep black or mongrel girls, and every grovelling overseer and book-keeper is as fashionably wicked as his employer, as Davy fays in the play.

You need some boundaries, girl. Here's how to set them
When I was 29, I was madly infatuated with a man I met at the gym. We connected instantly.
He was charismatic, exciting and free-spirited. Our chemistry was off the charts.
I naively believed his words and blindly went along with whatever he wanted.
You can imagine that it didn't turn out very well.
What happens when we don't set boundaries:
It never occurred for me to set boundaries because I wanted him to think I was cool and easy-going. But by not setting boundaries, I…
Ultimately, I had pursued a "never meant to be" relationship that left me feeling ashamed of who I'd become.
If you're like I was, you may be going along with what a man wants because you want him to like you, and perceive you a certain way, like as the "cool girl".
But when you don't set and enforce boundaries, your needs won't be met, you'll be taken advantage of, feel bad about yourself, and lose your self-worth.
Having healthy boundaries increases the likelihood for a healthy relationship.
So if you tend to do whatever a man wants and aren't getting your needs met, it's time to determine and enforce your boundaries.
Three ways to establish your boundaries:
1. Determine how you want to be treated, and only accept the treatment you desire.
For instance, if you want to be treated with respect, only date guys who treat you respectfully.
If you want to feel cherished, let your man do things for you that make you feel cherished.
Never settle for less than how you want to be treated.
2. Identify and stick to your needs.
It's essential to know what you need from a man and in your relationship so that you don't neglect what's important to you, or default to saying "yes" all of the time and "whatever you want".
You'll want to determine and stick to what you need.
Let's say you have a need to feel connected with your man. Let him know that, for instance, connection means talking on the phone (and not just texting) in between the times you see each other.
(A need is something you must have. It's different from a want, which is more like something you wish for.)
3. Turn unhealthy patterns around.
Identify the patterns that continue to keep you from what you most want.
For instance, let's say you tend to sleep with guys too soon, yet you've always wanted a lasting relationship.
You've realized that having sex early on has resulted in short-term connections.
A boundary you can set to keep this from happening is to wait until you both get to know each other on multiple levels (e.g. mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc.) and only have sex when you feel a meaningful connection.
This may mean dating for 2-3 months where you are seeing each other consistently and communicating in between dates.
When you love with boundaries, you won't sacrifice your integrity. You'll increase your self-esteem and self-worth, and feel great about yourself.
How to enforce your boundaries without becoming too controlling:
Establishing your boundaries is just one part of the equation. The other part is enforcing them.
If you're not used to speaking up and expressing your needs, enforcing your boundaries may at first make you feel like you are being controlling.
Men who are used to being with women who go along with whatever, the so-called "cool girls", they may perceive your healthy boundaries as being too controlling.
But the truth, is it's all in the way you express yourself.
For instance, let's say you have a need to feel connected with your man.
If you say to him, "You have to call me every day," it will feel like a command and most men don't like being told what to do.
You'll come across as demanding and controlling. And his natural tendency will be to resist doing what he's been told to do.
So here's how you can express that same need in a way that doesn't make you controlling:
You can say something like, "I really value connecting in between the times we see each other because it makes me feel closer to you. I just wanted you to know when you call me, it makes me happy to hear your voice."
A good man who likes you will want to make you happy, and will pick up on what you're saying and call you more.
As you honor your boundaries, your love life will shift towards what you desire.
Guys who are wrong for you will fall by the wayside and more of the right men will show up.
The struggles you once faced will diminish and you'll experience your journey to love with more ease. In the process, you'll learn what you're made of and grow into your best self.
So ask yourself this: What boundaries will you start to enforce?

The Rise of Phoenixes to premiere in a week on Hunan TV

I can't wait and the timing is perfect as Fuyao ends this week. Since the novels of this and Fuyao are written by the same author and this is considered an indirect sequel (characters are related and set in same universe), I have good expectations. Watching for sure!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 7, 2018 at 11:25 AM
As for Lost in 1949, I just don't like spy dramas in general and it looks like they are either a hit or a miss with C viewers as well. I really have high expectations on The Rise of Phoenixes. It should at least bring in 1% just for airing on Hunan TV in its prime time slot. The trailer looks good with its dark theme and the cinematography is very picturesque. Aside from two A-listers as leads, supporting casts are all talented veterans as well. I hope I won't get disappointed with the pace with how long historical dramas have become.ReplyDelete
I've REALLY been looking forward to this but I'm a bit disappointed by the trailers which seem to focus on the male lead. I haven't read the book but my understanding is that it is focused on the female protagonist but it seems like the drama is going to make the male lead's role equal to or larger than the lead lady.ReplyDelete

LOL Nutnfancy . . .that's what I need a 48 minute "review" of a 61 dollar Kershaw
If you type any knife term into search engines you'll discover several YouTube videos on almost every conceivable knife and topic. There are thousands of knife YouTubers who share their experiences and point of view for the benefit of the rest of us. And, knife people say they are tapping into that knowledge. 73% of production knife enthusiasts told us they rely on YouTube as a source of knife related information, in a survey taken earlier in 2015 (not to be confused with the more recent Survey).
There are thousands of channels out there reporting on knives, but we wanted to take a closer look at the Knife Stars of YouTube. This elite group of 10 have several things in common: engaging personalities, useful knowledge and/or strong opinions, consistency, dedication, and their own genuine voice or way of saying things. An early start doesn't hurt either – all of these YouTubers have been churning out content for at least a few years and building up huge subscriber bases in the process.
Here's a rundown of 10 Knife Stars of YouTube along with one of their recent or most popular videos:

There's really no other way to put this: Jim Skelton makes knife porn.

An ex-fighter pilot with a lifelong love of the outdoors, guns, motorcycles, and knives, Nutnfancy's 'feature-length' gear reviews have served as an introduction to the knife world for many. His channel, which he refers to as "The Nutnfancy Project" (TNP for short), is a mixture of critique, enthusiasm, political philosophy, and plenty of acronyms. Most of Nutn's most viewed videos are gun-related, but this popular video about his every day carry system from 2013 showcases just how many knives he's managed to review over the years.

I was going to be upset if NutnFancy and Preparedmind101 didn't make the list
You get what you pay for
Just like everything else.
Glad you enjoy your Mtechs
Love nutn's reviews, hate his political beliefs, still watch every one
I'm glad Late Boy Scout and Crocket made the list.
Surely not, nutnfancy is a total goober
Yeah, Nutnfancy may have some views I don't agree with at all, but he does do some honest reviews. Jim Skelton does some amazing videos of amazing knives, but he himself leaves much to be desired. Take the videos for what they are.
He just loves to hear himself talk
Nutnfancy's videos are to long for my liking. If I'm watching a knife video its normally for one I plan to buy and I just want to see a short video of it in hand and get a better look at it.
Matt Taylor
What about cajunblaze
Hellzarmy… Dude was pretty popular, always did great knife and edc tabletops. Did a lot to bring libre into the public eye too.
You got to remember, his channel is more like a TV show then a YouTube channel. I don't like everything he does, but he does have good points.
Bernard understands me. That was my point precisely. You can tell me everything o need to know about a knife or firearm in under 15 minutes. I don't need to know your manifesto in order to understand the weapon or know if I want to buy it
I liked the shorter knife reviews he used to do back when he started his channel. Now he calls them "old school knife reviews." People can say what they want about him, but he got me on board, and I learned a lot from him, though I seldom watch him anymore.
The Apostle P is missing! Great in depth stuff!
I used to watch NutnFancy quite a lot, then something clicked either in me or in his videos and I stopped.
I was also mildly off put with a couple non knife related videos as well. I do enjoy his knife reviews though and the level of detail he goes into.
I agree, I have seen many fsb videos, and I appreciate them because I get a chance to see many great knives
Pretty much all of those guys are my favorite youtubers.
Thats exactly how i feel.

As much as twenty percent of Paylean, given to pigs for their last 28 days, Optaflexx, given to cattle their last 28 to 42 days and Tomax, given to turkeys their last 7 to 14 days, remains in consumer meat says author and well known veterinarian Michael W. Fox.
Though banned in Europe, Taiwan and China–more than 1,700 people were "poisoned" from eating Paylean-fed pigs since 1998 says the Sichuan Pork Trade Chamber of Commerce– ractopamine is used in 45 percent of US pigs and 30 percent of ration-fed cattle says Elanco Animal Health which manufactures all three products.
What effects could these drugs have?
According to Temple Grandin, Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University, the "indiscriminant use of Paylean (ractopamine) has contributed to an increase in downer non-ambulatory pigs," and pigs that "are extremely difficult to move and drive." In Holsteins, ractopamine is known for causing hoof problems, says Grandin and feedlot managers report the "outer shell of the hoof fell off" on a related beta agonist drug, zilpateral.
A article in the 2003 Journal of Animal Science confirms that "ractopamine does affect the behavior, heart rate and catecholamine profile of finishing pigs and making them more difficult to handle and potentially more susceptible to handling and transport stress."
Surely such animal drugs would have no effects on human? Well, except they're used to treat children for asthma. Not the sort of thing you really want in the food and water supply.
Rosenberg asks how did this happen, and points out the answer: massive lobbying by big agribusiness.
The FDA's approval of a drug for food that requires impervious gloves and a mask just to handle is reminiscent of the bovine growth hormone debacle.
And in that debacle, Monsanto didn't just lobby the FDA, it lobbied the press, including making Fox rewrite a story 80 times.

Dear One, As you know it is only "I" that you and I are, and yet we play this charade of separation that fools us all most of the time.
If you look upon this world, the one you sit in, it would seem to be a separate place, with separate beings and entities. If this is so, then what is the truth of non-duality and what is the truth of Oneness?
It is not a false hope that there is One, there is ONE. Only, Always, and Forever. And in this knowing, there is so much that is gained and so little that is lost!
The gains are your peace of mind, your equanimity, your sense of security and your playfulness, are stabilized and not transient.
And what is lost? Well that is easy, your fear, your separation from others, your wonderment at the cause and mysteries of life.
You are the One, My Dears! It is such a celebration upon your return to knowing this! Do not be afraid, do not be lost in illusions of separation on and on, in life after life filled with anxiousness, fury, separation, loss and grief.
You are magnificent, you are Whole, you have never lacked, ever.
Oh certainly you have felt lack. And the knowledge that this lack is impossible, (as the One Whole Self) erases such bondage to life, and its rules of separation that have captured you all so.
Allow the Love and Grace of your True Self, the "I" that we all are, to see and be and then know your true face. The masquerade is worn and tired, the healing Truth is upon us…. within us!
Not for the individual, for the One, for the Whole.
The individual isn't. There is no such adjunct to the One, to I, to the Self. There is only the apparent illusion of such a thing.
That which creates the individual, that which enlivens it, that which speaks behind the speech, is the I. The I is the only. Not like some evil being in your manufactured realities of the movie theater but the most great, magnificent, loving I, that has no other, has nothing to compare to. The I is All, in which time exists not.
This I is who you are.
In order for this knowledge to be stable within you the individual, and thus stable in your relief from separation's suffering, you must find a way to anchor your knowing, strongly, securely, so that it is undeniable, unshakable and un-removable.
As this work is done, through the spiritual emissaries that walk this world, through Vedanta, through A Course In Miracles, through the many other texts that elucidate this Non-dual Truth, peace will be possible upon this Earth.
Engaged as Self within Earth's playground with "others", the world is newly begun.
As we walk together in this land of new understanding of Self-hood, we have the opportunity for renewal and growth beyond our current reality; suffering is of the body, and not Who We Are.
We become not only a means of freedom from such illusions for our self, we are also that for other humans who are caught in the misunderstanding of who they are and what this is in Truth.
Understanding is everything.
It is not experience you need. This avenue has caught many a seeker in the back waters of human deception. It is only and ever the knowledge of our True Self that frees us.
Experience is transient and not the real thing, merely a reflection that feels embracing and clear. Spiritual experience feeds the body with delight and security and love, all those things that seem desirable and elusive, and yet experience is transient, it ends. Always it ends. Experience is not the answer to end your suffering. Knowledge is.
And this is for a very good reason. This is because of Who We Are. We are the I AM. I Am everywhere, in everything, and thus there is no way to see or be seen, experience or be experienced. There is only I, the Self. The I, the Self, the ONLY.
And thus "I Am" fulfills the statement of Truth. For there are no words to qualify those two small words that will bring them to more or greater Truth or to more or greater clarity. More words would just limit unwittingly.
This remembrance (I AM) is knowledge. Seek the knowledge, cultivate the wisdom to see through the illusion of separation and allow the grace and goodness of the Self to be your friend and loving companion and not your enemy in a fearful costume of separation.
You are, I AM. We are One, And So It Is!

Popular television has brought us a number of funny female friendships in the form of family, (the Patty Duke Show, Sister, Sister, Kath & Kim) famous quads (Sex & the City, Living Single, the Golden Girls, Girlfriends) and trios that tickled us (Friends, Moesha, Happy Endings), but there is something to be said for the humor born of the special relationship between a broad and her bestie.
2014 proved to be an epic year for the bestie brigade on TV with the introduction of HBO's Doll & Em and IFC's Garfunkel and Oates, but it's the broads of Broad City with their feisty brand of Fourth Wave feminism who stole the show. Produced by Amy Poehler, whose dedication to the portrayal of well-rounded female friendships on TV (see Parks and Rec, below) and in real life with Tina Fey (both of whom have other XX driven productions in the works) assures us the future of female-fronted television is in mighty fine hands.
So in honor of Broad City's Season Premiere, (Feb 17th on Comedy Central) we salute 25 other dynamic duos who've paved the way for Abbi and Ilana's stoner shenanigans from television's beginnings to now:
1) Ethel and Lucy – I Love Lucy, 1951
Much like everything else in life, it's hard to top the original. These two wacky dames set the template for friendships forged in hijinks.
2) Beryl and Sandra – The Liver Birds, 1969
The adventures of these two (and their far out, King's Road couture) served as the pioneering "single girl, buddy comedy" we've come to know and love.
3) Mary & Rhoda – The Mary Tyler Moore Show, 1970
Mary's peppy optimism and Rhoda's self-deprecation balanced each other out in one of TV's first and greatest yin/yang friendships.
4) Florida and Wilona – Good Times, 1974
Florida and Wilona's no-nonsense relationship served to support each other through life's hard knocks.
5) LaVerne & Shirley, 1976
Featuring all of the above (hijinks, hard knocks, single gal adventures and complimentary opposites) LaVerne & Shirley is still the gold standard in female bestie sitcoms.
6) Chrissy and Janet – Three's Company, 1977
Many other blondes would "come and knock on the door" above the Roppers (and then Mr. Furley's), but Chrissy and Janet's friendship was the kind strong enough to take on the idea of Jack Tripper and made it a bit easier to see past the show's weird, homophobic slant.
7) Natalie and Tootie – The Facts of Life, 1979
Though part of an ensemble of young women on the original The Facts of Life, Tootie and Nat's friendship was the stuff of true bestiehood. Not only were they one of the first bi-racial, female friendships on television, they were the first ladies to whip out their bong (even if they thought it held Jellybeans) in Prime Time.
8) Punky and Cherie – Punky Brewster, 1984
These two spunky 'tweens were both orphans living with elderly caregivers and shared a mutual fondness for mismatched apparel, which helped them forge a bond as unique as their fashion sense.
9)Kate & Allie, 1984
A tale of two divorced moms living together and making it work featured the always stellar Jane Curtin and showcased how women step up to support one another.
10)Mary and Rose – 227, 1985
Born of stoop gossip, Mary and Rose's friendship weathered Rose becoming Mary's landlady, their teen children and the exploits of their sexpot neighbor, Saaannnnnnddddrrrrahhhhhh.
11) DJ and Kimmy – Full House, 1987
Sometimes you need to skip school to meet Stacey Q, and that's when a friend like Kimmy Gibbler comes in mighty handy. In the '80s, many sitcoms featured the "Mom's dead (or absent). Let's have a party" motif. Trouble-making Kimmie was just what straight-laced (and kinda boring) Donna Jo and this straight-laced (and kinda boring) sitcom needed.
12) French and Saunders, 1987
Much like Abbi and Ilana, this comedy duo began honing their craft "underground" in the world of sketch comedy prior to their TV series. And again, much like the Broad City girls, it was a real life friendship that lead to this great TV show which deftly skewered pop culture, and the success of which can be attributed as much as to their comedic writing skills as their talents as performers.
13) Blossom and Six – Blossom, 1990
Sometimes goofy-yet-enduring teen friendships are formed in your parents' blatant disregard for conventional baby names and the love of oversized accessories.
14) Patsy and Edina – Absolutely Fabulous, 1992
The proto-partying godmothers of Broad City's Abbs and Ills, Pats and Eddie ably swayed their way through so many decades, lovers and designer substances because they knew no matter what, they always had each other….and a walk-in champagne cooler, Sweetie Darling;)
15) Daria and Jayne – Daria, 1997
These two birds-of-a-feather made high school slightly less miserable for each other, proving if you can find one friend in your teen years that just "gets you" you're lucky indeed.
16) Lorelai and Sookie – Gilmore Girls, 2000
One of the most realistic and enduring lady friendships ever on TV, Lorelai and Sookie worked together, played together and cried together through all of life's ups and downs and allllll that Christopher nonsense.
17) Rory and Lane – Gilmore Girls, 2000
Moms are a daughter's best example of how to be friends with another lady, and Rory and Lane's unwavering devotion to each other proves it.
18) Lucille 1 and Lucille 2 – Arrested Development, 2003
Though these ladies claimed to be besties- their rivalry was one for the books, reminding us female friendships don't have to function to be extremely deep (and very, very funny).
19) Lily and Robin – How I Met Your Mother, 2005
It's hard to the only girl in a "boys' club" and it was major when Lily welcomed Robin to their penis-heavy party with open arms and then fought for her to remain in the group even when she and Ted (and then Barney) were kaput – constituting a major act of bravery on TV or in real life.
20) Liz and Jenna – 30 Rock, 2006
It took until 2006, but the relationship between Liz and Jenna was one of the first on TV to take on candid discussions about female rivalries and the roles we take on in female friendships. As Liz Lemon, Tina Fey explored the complexities of these fragile relationships with humor and brutal honesty. And even though they were total opposites, not even the knowledge they had shared the dong of Dennis Duffy could break these two up.
21) Carly and Sam – iCarly, 2007
It may have been a show named after a female character, but iCarly was a veritable Dude Universe. Carly didn't have a mom (with no explanation, ever) and Sam had an awful, absentee one, yet somehow these two very different teens forged a friendship rich with girl power that was all the family they needed.
22) Leslie and Anne – Parks and Rec, 2009
It should be stated for the record, Leslie Knope is great at all things – including best friendships; the woman coined the term and launched the holiday Galentine's Day for God's sake. Though a comedy to its core, Parks and Rec did a fantastic job actually showing the process of how women become friends as adults, something a thirty minute sitcom rarely takes the time to flush out.
23) Max and Caroline – 2 Broke Girls, 2011
2 Broke Girls may be far from perfect TV, but Max and Caroline's devotion to each other is the glue that holds this show – which is essentially a flaming ball of stereotypes – together.
24) Jess and Cece – New Girl, 2011
Through frequent flashbacks, New Girl clues us in on how childhood friendships evolve and change as the ladies involved in them and their relationship itself, evolves and changes.
25) Hannah and Marnie – Girls, 2012
Your early 20s can be "make or break" time for college friendships as evidenced by the portray of "best friends" and former roomies, Hannah and Marnie on Girls – earning the show both praise and criticism for its unflinching portrayal of young women's relationships with all their highs and lows.

Review: At Killen's Burgers, a burger to respect, if not to love
Go ahead and call me a wuss, fellow Texans, but I've met my match in terms of burger size.
The 10-ounce Angus patties that are standard equipment at Killen's Burgers in Pearland, the 10-month-old venture by highflying chef Ronnie Killen, defeat me every time. I just can't finish that much meat in this purist context, sparing of condiments and devoid of strange thrills, clasped in custom Martin's potato rolls that squash down fast, so the beef looms larger still.
I invariably quit eating with a 3- or 4-ounce hunk of patty still to go. I've never wolfed down an entire burger here with gleeful abandon. I proceed slowly, appreciating the quality of the ingredients but never quite giving in to the pleasure of it all. For that, I turn to the pluperfect onion rings and shakes, never ceasing to puzzle out why the burgers don't quite do it for me.
Killen's guiding burger vision is a sort of Shake Shack cheeseburger on steroids, from those yolk-yellow Martin's rolls to the signature visuals of the leaf-lettuce frill, with a red tomato rim and a corner of yellow cheese sticking out. It's a surpassingly pretty thing.
At the beginning, when opening crowds thronged into the shiny faux-'50s space and the lines extended down the sidewalk, Killen anointed each burger with his own pink-orangey "special sauce," a concoction that entailed three kinds of mayonnaise (Hellmann's, Duke's and Miracle Whip salad dressing), along with bright-green Chicago-style pickles and a currylike note of turmeric. To me, it seemed like a lot of trouble to go to for a sauce that didn't really add much to the proceedings.
Diners must have agreed because the special sauce is no longer served as a standard condiment, although you can get it on the side in a little plastic cup if you ask. In fact, Killen's burgers are served condiment-free, unless you count the slices of dill pickle and thin slivers of red onion tucked in as a matter of course. So the sandwich, inevitably, becomes all about the meat.
It's good-quality Angus with a clear beef flavor, but over four visits I have never encountered a patty that shed a satisfying sploosh of meat juices. These aren't dry burgers, but neither are they particularly juicy. And - this is key to my misgivings - only one of the five burgers I've ordered has been cooked to my specifications, or to my liking.
My first, back in May when Killen's Burgers was new, came out a uniformly gray well done instead of the medium-well that was standard back then, before they installed illustrated doneness charts as an ordering aid. A second, ordered recently to be cooked medium rare, emerged rare enough to seem unpleasantly raw at the center. So on my third try, I asked for medium and got well done.
Nevertheless, I persisted. Medium was my request for burgers 4 and 5, and lo: one, a special blend involving pork belly and Nueske's bacon along with the Angus, turned out medium rare, with a red center. Another special patty blend of dry-aged beef was precisely medium, with a pink center - definitely the way to go here. I felt like I had hit the jackpot.

And not just because that particular burger was cooked the way I wanted it. The two different special blends incorporating dry-aged beef are really interesting, with a distinctive, gamy tang that dedicated steak-lovers (and fans of Killen's dry-aged steaks at his celebrated steakhouse) have learned to prize.
A brisket/short rib blend using both dry- and wet-aged brisket had a modulated edge; the blend of dry-aged brisket and chuck walked more on the wild side. It was my favorite burger of the bunch, cooked with a feisty sear, and it actually needed no adornments from the do-it-yourself condiment dispensers by the cash registers.
The custom patty blends weigh in at 2 ounces less (and $2 more) than the standard burgers. That's a good thing, in my opinion. I found the size easier to love, and to finish; and the smaller patty improved the meat-to-bread ratio.
If I were going to order a standard burger, I'd go for the jalapeño cheeseburger made with yellow American, the default cheese here, which has a lovely, retrograde tack to its melty surface. (There's good cheddar, or Swiss, if you prefer.) The presence of sharp pickled jalapeños boosted the flavor profile into my happy zone, reminding me that I crave flavors and textures that set off a burger patty, throwing its umami into relief.
Killen, by his own admission, wants very, very little to come between him and his burger meat. Not ketchup; not mayonnaise; not obstreperous blue cheese; not the sacred Texas yellow mustard, although he capitulates to local tastes by offering it on a lone "Texas Burger."
A little barbecue sauce and an onion ring makes it onto one burger, but otherwise the Killenesque add-ons run to more meat: bacon of the chef's-darling Nueske's persuasion, or some seared pork belly or barbecued brisket, a signature from his wildly popular barbecue emporium down the road. He's aiming more for harmony than jazzy counterpoints - a reasonable burger aesthetic that I just don't happen to share.
I kept hoping for that revelatory sandwich moment when the burger suddenly clicks into focus as more than the sum of its parts. So far, that hasn't hit me.
If you're all about the burger meat, you may love this place. If you're not, you may end up fixating on the precision-fried onion rings, medium-cut in their crisp, well-seasoned batter jackets; or the excellent milk shakes crowned with real whipped cream. The vanilla shake is as pure and lilting as can be, and even a showy latter-day mocha almond fudge shake fairly shone, its wispy tiles of almond a highlight instead of a distraction.
In Shake Shack fashion, Killen at first offered only crinkle-cut fries out of a freezer box. Granted, they were from a high-class freezer box, but while impeccably crisp, at their inert hearts they were still frozen fries. Now, the chef has added thin, fresh-cut Kennebec fries that are a good deal better. On one occasion, they were so thoroughly crisped that their texture was boringly uniform. On another, they displayed a welcome bit of variation, crisp outside and soft in places within.
All this unfolds in a Disney-fied version of a 1950s malt shop, fitted out with aqua booths and shiny chrome chairs. It's perfectly pleasant without being in any way distinctive, and I felt more than a few pangs remembering the strong sense of place inside the original Killen's Steakhouse that once flourished here.
A huge photo of J.J. Watt dominates one wall, along with an autographed message from the Texans star extolling Killen's chefly abilities and friendship. Ronnie's almost as big a star as Watt is locally by now, and his vastly enlarged new steakhouse, his barbecue joint and his new Houston fire-and-smoke restaurant, STQ, are all going great guns.
The hamburger spot, in comparison, seems not quite there yet. "Hamburgers are the hardest thing I've ever done," confessed Killen when I ran into him doing a burger shift last week.
Like me in the face of those 10-ounce monster patties, he may have met his match.

The Oscars will introduce a new category next year and it has fans of the film industry divided. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences will now honor the most "popular film" of the year.
What does that mean exactly? According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Oscars "will create a new category for outstanding achievement in popular film" and the "eligibility requirements and other key details will be forthcoming."
The popular film category will be implemented during the 91st annual Academy Awards which will take place Feb. 24, 2019. The Academy's board of governors did in fact endorse the new change for the upcoming three-hour telecast.
The Academy has also set an earlier date for 2020 and will make the show more globally accessible. The breaking news brought a lot of backlash which had people comparing the Oscars to the MTV Awards, People's Choice, and more.

I got patched up and now I am at home waiting for this thing to come off my hand!! I have been on a mad knitting streak lately and have been finishing off socks left and right. I had almost finished my socks for the Desert Vista Dyeworks monthly sock club when it happened so I pushed forward and finished my socks before I went to the hospital just in case I couldn't knit when I got home. Well, its a good thing I did that because I CAN'T KNIT!!! :( I spent the day yesterday organizing my sewing room, today I organized my yarn. Now I am pacing around trying to find something to do!
So what crafty things can one do with a broken wrist? Draw. I finally ordered an Apple Pencil and got the wrong one!! So it's a paper and pencil adventure here! I'm not an established artist by any means. I have taken a few beginner classes and learned some basics, but I'm not producing award winners here. But it is nice to take my mind off of my wrist and doodle and enjoy. Here are some of my pencil drawings I have done (some not complete). That cat's face is a bit wonky but overall I'm proud of my work.
And then my Apple Pencil arrived!! The right one!! I didn't know the new one only works with iPad Pro but the older one works with a 6th gen iPad so here I am. My older pencil is here and I have been playing with it ever since! My husband is a banjo payer so I made a little banjo, my kid is sloth obsessed so I made a sloth, and then I just played around. The Procreate app seems to have a billion features and I have just scratched the surface. I'm hoping I can figure out more in the coming weeks while I wait for my hand to heal. Maybe design some embroidery patterns!! That would be fun.
I am running out of ideas for other projects though. Some have said maybe my wrist will feel well enough to cross stitch, crank socks on my Erlbacher Gearhart machine, EPP, all kinds of things, but my dexterity is not as perfect as I would want it to be. So any ideas for a gal with just her dominant hand free? I'd love some suggestions!!
Here are some more of my Procreate doodles:

Where does love begin?
What do we know about love? It is this ethereal substance that we are in search of in our lives. It's mercurial. So days there seem to be more of it than others, but at the same time the more you try to hold it the faster it runs through your fingers. Rorschach doesn't believe American love exists anymore, and if Laurie and Dr. Manhattan are an example of American love then maybe it doesn't.
Love transcends time
We see Dr. Manhattan both find and lose love. He meets the love of his live as a man before he becomes a superhero. He is the perfect picture of success. He is the best in his field. He has a beautiful girlfriend, who is also amazing in her field. He has love, success, and a future. This is however, not how the story plays out. Love does not have such a simple path.
John is not destined to love easily. His humanity is taken from him, though this appetite for sex does not disappear. He is very much a man. He is very much human and yet he is constantly forced farther away from humanity. Even though all he really wants is to be loved and to help those he cares about feel loved.
Around and around we go
The same moment happens to Dr. Manhattan multiple times.
Dr. Manhattan exists both inside and outside of time. The biggest problem for Dr. Manhattan is that love is timeless only in a linear fashion. Dr. Manhattan is omnipresent, though not omnipotent. He doesn't know how to exist because he is a man thrust into the existence that is not human.
Where we stop nobody knows
Laurie and Dan are very human. They may be super, but they're not above the lust and angst that defines humanity. Laurie needs the things that Dan can give her, and she takes the things that Dr. Manhattan tried to give her. The love story started with Dr. Manhattan but is much more complicated and included multiple generations.
I love you to the moon and back
they can't disagree
or eat Indian food, or love each other...
Oh it's sweet. Being alive is os damn sweet.
Relationships and love are complicated. There is one common denominator that is necessary, however. You have to be alive. Perhaps you can argue that only one part of a relationship needs to have the essence of life, but that essence is necessary regardless. Laurie realizes this. Love and sex can be fleeting or they can last longer that the momentary glimpse that popular culture and are can give us, but the only way that we are able to see this is through time.

Unfortunately, if done this way the .csv file exported will not include the letter grade. Canvas' explanation for this is as follows: Despite being able to manually enter a letter grade value, the export file runs the calculation based on the point field. If no point value was given, it cannot calculate the letter grade.
This is a failure of basic user experience. If you are given the option to export something, the exported file should match what you see on the screen. It's similar to the WYSIWYG philosophy: What You Export Is What You See. You should never be given the option to do something part-way and then be stopped at a seemingly random step. Either allow manually entered letter grades to be exported or don't allow users to enter them in Gradebook the first place.

In sterling silver and enamels; 49.3 x 29.8 mm. This
stunning piece shows absolutely superb quality throughout.
The three-piece construction badge features oval base having
cogwheel along the left border, ears of wheat along the
right red scroll with Cyrillic letters "NKVD" at the bottom
and red banner near the top. The state emblem at the top is
of 1937 type, with 11 ribbons representing number of
republics in the Soviet Union. The red star is a separate
part attached with wires; superimposed on the star is
beautifully sculptured Soviet fire department insignia of
torch, ax and wrench. The reverse has Cyrillic maker mark
"VKKh" and sterling silver hallmark "916". Note the typical
low serial number engraved in characteristically "square"
font (only a few hundred of silver badges were ever issued).
In very fine condition, extraordinary for this early award.
The enamel on the scroll with "NKVD" has a small chip: a
thin, barely noticeable sliver along the lower border under
the letter "K". The enamel is practically perfect elsewhere
- the only exception is faint hairline cracks in the lower
left arm of the star that are not visually detracting and do
not threaten the integrity of the enamel. The enamel
retains its luster and beautiful trademark quality
characteristic of the early Soviet badges.
The torch, state emblem and other details are extremely
crisp, show practically no wear. Pristine, even toning to
the reverse. The screw post is full length, approx. 11 mm.
Comes with original silver wing nut marked "Vsekokhudozhnik,
Moscow" and showing "916" silver and "VKKh" hallmarks. The
nut is somewhat loose due to worn threads (as is often the
case) but still holds to the screw post reasonably well.

The ADEA CCI Liaison Ledger talks with
Alison Whelan, M.D., Chief Medical
Education Officer, Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)Liaison Ledger: What
would need to change in medical education (such as curriculum, accreditation,
licensure, admissions standards) to produce graduates that are person-centered
care providers?Alison Whelan: Some of it is teaching M.D.
students and residents different skills and knowledge; some of it is providing
different experiences.
schools are helping students early on understand who their patients are as
people by getting students out of the clinic and into the spaces where their
patients are living. That can be anything from home visits to broader community
connections through volunteer work. Schools have always had students do community
outreach, but now schools are including community members in the discussion of
where students can make an impact. It sends a powerful message, and it's shown
to be a more effective way to do community interventions.
terms of specific skills, the first is communication. As we teach our students
how to take a history, we need to make sure that it's a broad-based history,
and that they understand the social context of the patient.
you just look at health, and you look at health disparities, and you look at
social determinants of health, then person-centered care has to become a part
of the equation, so I think that recognition is driving the move toward
person-centered care. Coming up with solutions is a work in progress, but I
think we're well on our way.
Liaison Ledger: Where
does a health professions education association begin in trying to transform
the faculty perspective from patient-centered to person-centered?Alison Whelan: When something new
comes up at AAMC, we help drive thought by convening our experts, and we help
them to share best practices and give them a platform for leading-edge thinking.
We have extraordinary members doing extraordinary things, and one of the best
things we can do is help them to share those things, primarily through our
meetings but also through showcasing their activities on our website and
through AAMC News.
Liaison Ledger: What does
the medical school of the future look like to you if the predominant model of
practice is person-centered?Alison Whelan: Medical students and
residents will always need to spend a significant part of their educations in
the hospitals in which complex care is delivered. As we move toward
understanding how to impact population health and the social determinants of
health, there will be a continued shift—which has already started—to more learning
experiences in ambulatory health care settings and also in community settings,
which may not be health care settings.
will also have to be more of a connection between M.D.s and other health
professionals, particularly those involved in population health, such as social
workers and public health professionals.
from our authorsNadeem Karimbux: I still struggle a bit
with who the health care provider is that brings all of that together in a
holistic and meaningful way. It's that challenge between being in these
environments that are extremely complex with people that are focused on
specific tasks, and how you take a step back and try to take into account the
person at the center of that care. That's where perhaps the role of technology
will facilitate some of that understanding. The question becomes, will these health
professions develop someone who will become the patient advocate to make sure
that these pieces aren't getting lost?
Andrew Spielman: It almost invites the
creation of a highly educated, trained patient advocate that now becomes the
champion. Could that be a digital person who has no agenda other than the
patient's best interest? I'm thinking of a robot that has artificial
intelligence and can essentially collect all the data, monitor, advocate, use
algorithms, interact with the various health care professionals, line up the
appointments and make sure that the patient doesn't get lost.
Muhammad Walji: We've tried these
concepts through patient-centered medical homes in primary care. It isn't an
artificial intelligence system, but rather a human that is trying to coordinate
the patient's care. There have been challenges in that, and mainly again it's
because of the way our delivery system is set up with all the incentives going
to tertiary care institutions where more and more expensive specialists do
various things. That's really the crux of the problem. There needs to be that
transformation of health care delivery if we really are to try and make
ourselves more person-centered.

Guess what? Now bus terminals in the state will have similar hi-tech facilities as those available at the airports. The PPP model will have gaming facilities, lockers, dormitory, and food court. This step will be initiated in various parts of the city including Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur and others.
This kind of facility is being brought up especially for poor people who are unable to access it otherwise. It will also be beneficial for those travellers who wish to cover the city in local transportation like buses. It will be one of major step towards growth of the state that will also encourage poor to learn about new technologies.

She Ain't Grand. She's Beverly.
by tdwood
A popular trail in the northeast corner of the park, providing easy access to several other longer trails as well as smaller, localized systems.
South Mountain Park was created in 1924 as Phoenix Mountain Park. Much of the initial trails were created in the 1930s through the efforts of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The trailhead is accessed from the parking lot at the end of 46th Street. After passing some condominiums on the left, the well-signed trail begins its path up into Beverly Canyon, eventually settling onto a course that carries it beneath power lines high overhead. As the trail gently climbs, the city of Tempe is visible to the northeast (the landmark of A Mountain can be seen under favorable conditions). At about 1.4 miles in, the trail crosses the National Trail. From this point, signage is non-existent and social trails abound (while getting truly lost would be hard to do, a map will make the trip a lot less frustrating). After crossing Pima Wash, the trail climbs steadily to a saddle at Scott Ridge that overlooks the communities of Ahwatukee and Chandler. From this point the trail descends sharply over a quarter-mile to its terminus at the Desert Classic Trail.
As with most trails in this park, this route provides some opportunity for views of city lights. Clues of the mountain '92s geologic history and composition are everywhere for those who know how to tease them out. The trail is complemented by abundant examples of Sonoran plants and cactuses. Overall, this trail is a great option for those seeking an accessible, brief escape from the built environment without a large commitment of time and travel.
Water Sources
Water is available at the 46th Street lot from a municipal spigot located at the adjacent Javelina Canyon Trailhead.
Camping is not permitted.

Note: This lesson was originally published on an older version of The Learning Network; the link to the related Times article will take you to a page on the old site.
Teaching ideas based on New York Times content.
Overview of Lesson Plan: In this lesson, students examine the cultural aspects of love, courtship, and marriage around the world. After researching the rituals, language and symbols of love of specific
countries, students create 'Valentines' exhibiting their newly acquired knowledge.
Kari Kohl, The New York Times Learning Network
Suggested Time Allowance: 45 Minutes – 1 Hour
Students will:
1. Explore the images and idioms related to love in their own culture.
2. Examine new rituals recently created in Japan by reading and discussing "Osaka Journal: Japanese Date Clubs Take the Muss Out of Mating."
3. Investigate the language, rituals, and symbols associated with love in another country or culture.
4. Design a Valentine integrating the knowledge acquired while conducting in-class research.
Resources / Materials:
-student journals
-classroom blackboard
-copies of "Osaka Journal: Japanese Date Clubs Take the Muss Out of Mating" (one per student)
–research materials about courtship and marriage customs, symbols, language, and rituals around the world (geography and global history textbooks, reference materials about various world cultures, anthropology textbooks, encyclopedias, Internet access)
Activities / Procedures:
1. WARM-UP/DO-NOW: In their journals, students respond to the following questions (written on the board prior to class): What images and idioms come to mind when you think about Valentine's Day? Which of these do you think are universal, and which do you think are unique to your culture? Students share their answers.
2. As a class, read and discuss "Osaka Journal: Japanese Date Clubs Take the Muss Out of Mating," focusing on the following questions:
a. What sets the Tu-Ba Café apart from singles bars in other places?
b. How would you characterize traditional dating patterns in Japan?
c. What kinds of new ways do Japanese men and women have to meet one another?
d. Why do you think dating services that use cell phones and opaque glass are so popular in Japan? Do you think these dating services would fare well in your country?
e. Why do you think men pay a membership fee in Mr. Fukuda's club, while women get free memberships?
f. What do you think about selecting a potential spouse after only watching him or her, but never speaking?
g. Do you think Japanese men are unusual in their fear of being turned down?
h. Why do you think acting friendly is so suspicious in Japanese culture?
3. Students will work in groups of three or four to research the courtship and marriage rituals and the language and symbols of love of various countries around the world. Students can share their findings with the class at a later date after completing the homework assignment. (If students are using the Internet for research, they will find much information on courtship and marriage traditions by going to "Google" and typing in those phrases). Countries to research might include: America, France, Italy, Germany, England, Russia, China, Japan, India, Iran or Saudi Arabia, Haiti, Cuba, Brazil and Argentina. In their research, students should attempt to answer the following questions, along with any others they might have:
–What kind of language is used in this country to describe love?
–What symbols are associated with love?
–How is a courtship generally conducted? Is there one model or many?
–What is a typical marriage ceremony?
–Is love typically associated with marriage? How?
–What kind of love poetry has been written in this country? Find a poem you think is typical of this country or culture.
4. WRAP-UP/HOMEWORK: Students will create Valentines using the information they discovered in their research. The Valentine can include words, symbols, and other illustrations and should include some love poetry typical of the country studied.
Further Questions for Discussion:
–What is love? Is love the same around the world, or does it mean different things in different cultures?
–How has new technology changed courtship and marriage at different times in history?
–Love is considered to be the "Universal Language." Do you think this is biological or cultural?
–How is love depicted in art and in literature? Use specific examples.
Evaluation / Assessment:
Students will be evaluated based on written journal entries, participation in class and small group discussions, and thoughtful participation in group research and Valentine creations.
haze, surreptitiously, protocol, elaborately, endemic, innovative, coifed, navigating, discreetly, recipient, courtship, spontaneous, suitor, catalyst, suspicious
Extension Activities:
1. Create a map of Japan showing major cities, provinces, islands, geographical formations, and surrounding bodies of water.
2. Investigate the origins of Valentine's Day. Write a short play recreating the beginning.
3. Investigate Japanese family structure and its evolution over the past two centuries. Create a poster or other visual display mapping the evolution of the Japanese family.
4. Write an article about Valentine's Day for your school newspaper. Interview other students about their best and worst Valentine's Day experiences.
5. Read several love poems written in different formats. Write 2 love poems of your own, one using a familiar format, such as a sonnet, and one using a freer style. These love poems do not need to have a person as their object. They can be written about the love of an object, and activity, or a place.
Interdisciplinary Connections:
Fine Arts- Read the creation myths of Japan. Create a series of drawings, paintings, or other works of art depicting these myths.
Health- Learn about the traditional Japanese diet and the components of this diet that modern nutritionists think are very healthy. Create a poster showing a typical meal and explaining each piece. As a class, create and serve a Japanese meal.
Journalism- Use a camera to create a photo journal of love around you. Be creative in your choices.
Media Studies- Write an opinion piece about Valentine's Day and its place in modern society. You might want to address the ways in which the media influences people's feelings about Valentine's Day in good or bad ways, the effects of advertising and a consumer society, and the myriad feelings Valentine's Day sparks in different people.

The Industry 4.0 era calls for a rethink of traditional processes in quite a number of areas. One example is using predictive maintenance based on continuous condition monitoring rather than checking machine tools at fixed intervals. These tools then only need to undergo maintenance or be replaced when the system signals this is necessary. Comparing status data with target parameters on an ongoing basis also measurably reduces unscheduled stoppages and therefore downtime costs. igus GmbH has achieved these benefits by using smart plastics to develop various sensors and monitoring modules for everything from energy chains and cables to plain, linear and slewing ring bearings. Networking these products with the new igus communication module (icom.plus), which igus is soon to showcase at the upcoming EMO Hannover 2019, ensures direct integration into the customer's own IT infrastructure – into production management systems such as SCADA and MES, for instance, or online into cloud solutions that are used throughout a company.
Once programmed with initial service life algorithms using igus online configurations, icom.plus can also be operated offline if the customer wishes. This gives users flexibility when it comes to decisions about how the module is connected, how its data is managed and how to balance run time maximization against IT security. As long as icom.plus is online, the service life data is continuously compared with the igus cloud to maximize machine run times and minimize the risk of a failure. The data in the cloud includes details of the ten billion energy chain and cable test cycles performed each year in the company's own 3,800 square meter test laboratory. Based on this data, it is possible to predict with impressive accuracy how long a component such as an energy chain will work reliably in the respective machine tool application. Integrated isense components that factor in the current ambient conditions provide additional reassurance by continually updating the service life. Machine learning and AI produce extremely precise data that can be viewed on the machine control system's screen. If users opt for online connection, a text message or e-mail is also sent to notify them of unexpected operating states and scheduled maintenance.
