On his lucky day after a long spell of joblessness, a young man secures a job as bottle collector at a bottle store. He is so happy he is willing to defend employment with whatever it takes.
On reporting, he joins a few other guys hired as security personnel. Together they form a formidable team stationed at the entrance of the pub, a hot spot in Lilongwe's Area 25.
Right on the first day on the job, acustomer walks in and by the door familiarises with the bottle collector and the security detail.
'Wawa abale. Zikuyenda?' the customer greets the muscled men with friendliness, to which the guys answer with satisfaction.
'Wawa Biggy. Zikuyenda Boss,' the bottle collector answers back and wishes the customer a happy stay.
Sometimes a simple greeting is all people need to feel loved and respected.
Two or so hours later, the customer is dragged out by not less than five irate men who, at the top of their voices, chorus their concern on how naughty the customer is becoming.
The tide is too high for the customer as he cannot stop his 'deportation.'
By the entrance, the bottle collector and his perplexed peers are thrown into a guessing game on what might have become of the 'honourable' customer who by now has his clothes ruffled.
'Ndileretseni.Andiphatu anthuwa,' the cornered customer shouts to the bottle collector and his team for help.
For the bottle collector and his muscled friends, it is perhaps the first test on how to deal with unruly shenanigans who come to trouble customers.
Like a well-coordinated choir, the rescue team inches into the brawl to rescue the customer.
Seconds later, with the customer freed and now at a distance on his escape, it is discovered one of the customer's 'assailants' has a horrible cut to the head courtesy of the bottle collector's swing of an empty bottle.
It is when statements are taken at the police station where the guy with the cut, who is the owner of the bottle store, discovers his attacker is actually a new employee at the pub!
The biggest mistake was that the managers at the pub, having exercised their due authority to fire the previous bottle collector and the security team the night before, were yet to brief the owner on the new faces around.
As fate would have it, the owner had walked in unexpectedly early to cheer customers and acquaintances. Innocently, he then made his way past the power team by the entrance thinking they were just customers.
Inside the pub, the owner and his acquaintances had taken offence as the customer, under the influence of booze, was beyond a nuisance.
In all this was a simple management lesson; if you take communication and protocol out of the business scene, it can cost you blood.
Today, communication has taken its rightful place and the bottle collector is among the most reliable employees.
Even 'tiny' updates are now shared promptly and tirelessly across the business! There is even a uniform to speak to the eye where words cannot suffice!
For the pub owner, a reminder on the importance of protocol rests on his head—it is a scar which he kept 'caressing' throughout his narration of the ordeal. He even happily gave me a go ahead to share his lesson! n

Estimating the Impact of Time-of-Use Pricing on Irish Electricity Demand
Valeria Di Cosmo, Sean Lyons, Anne Nolan
Abstract: Smart meters, in conjunction with time-of-use (TOU) pricing, can facilitate an improvement in energy efficiency by providing consumers with enhanced information about electricity consumption and costs, and thereby encourage a shift away from consumption during peak hours. In 2009-10, the Irish Commission for Energy Regulation co-ordinated a randomised controlled trial in the Irish residential electricity market. Smart meters were introduced in approximately 5,000 households, divided into control and treatment groups, with treatment groups exposed to a variety of TOU tariffs and information stimuli. This paper analyses the response of Irish households at different times of the day to the introduction of TOU tariffs and information stimuli. We find that these measures have a significant effect in reducing electricity consumption in Ireland, particularly during peak hours. However, while households reduce peak demand significantly after the introduction of TOU tariffs and associated information, there is little incremental response to increasing differentials between peak and off-peak prices.

SEAL Team Six: Hunt the Dragon
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Don Mann, Ralph Pezzullo
Narrated By: Peter Ganim
Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA
Date: May 2016
Duration: 8 hours 30 minutes
The North Korean government is days away from realizing its nuclear ambitions and only the heroes of SEAL Team Six can stop it.
Chief Warrant Officer Thomas Crocker of SEAL Team Six's Black Cell is in Las Vegas after conducting a training exercise in the desert with new members of the team. Lounging by the pool at Caesar's Palace, he witnesses an argument between hotel security guards and three Asian men in corporate attire that quickly turns physical. Giving chase, he soon corners the businessmen, who claim to be Chinese diplomats under the protection of diplomatic immunity. Except the men don't respond when the head of hotel security -- Crocker's old friend -- addresses them in Mandarin.
That night, someone hacks into the Nevada Power Company system, and Las Vegas goes completely dark. The businessmen set their hotel suite on fire and escape amidst the chaos. At the same time, James Dawkins, a brilliant scientist with top-secret clearance, disappears from a conference in Geneva and wakes to find himself in a North Korean bunker with instructions to solve an engineering problem that will enable North Korea to launch nuclear attacks on its enemies worldwide.
Chasing a trail of evidence that takes them from U.S. soil to international waters to China and North Korea, Crocker and the rest of SEAL Team Six find themselves in the middle of an international plot with dangerous geopolitical ramifications. The North Korean government will stop at nothing to realize its long-held nuclear ambitions -- but it'll have to get through some of America's most highly trained warriors first.

Delaware is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, with a variety of gorgeous natural settings. Brandywine Creek State Park is one of our favorite places to enjoy the great outdoors. Our Delaware adoption professionals love taking family trips here during the summer time and the wide range of available activities offers something for everyone. If you're looking for a good place to bond with the family and disconnect for a bit, we highly recommend taking a trip here. Some of our favorite things to do at Brandywine Creek State Park include:
Anglers can enjoy fishing at Brandywine Creek, which is home to smallmouth bass, crappie, and bluegill. There is also fishing for trout at nearby Wilsons Run. We think fishing is a great way for parents to bond with their kids in a relaxing environment.
Disc Golf
A round of disc golf always makes for some fun, intense competition that the whole family can enjoy. Brandywine features a course of chain baskets attached to poles. The objective is to throw the disc into the basket. Like regular golf, your score for each hole is based on the number of throws it takes to get your disc in the basket. This game is simple but incredibly entertaining and both kids and parents can enjoy competing against each other.
Hiking & Mountain Biking
Brandywine Creek State Park is home to one of the many excellent multi-use hiking and mountain biking trails in Delaware. While these trails vary in difficulty throughout the state, Brandywine Creek's Northern Delaware Greenway is a relatively easy and family-friendly ride or hike. The 2.5-mile crushed stone trail runs throughout the park and allows you to take in some breathtaking natural scenery while getting in some exercise. The total Northern Delaware Greenway actually runs for over 10 miles and goes through several state and county parks in New Castle County.
Geocaching is a trendy new outdoors activity which is basically an educational treasure hunt. Geocachers hide waterproof containers in public places and calculate their GPS coordinates, then post the coordinates on the internet. Other geocachers then download those coordinates and try to find the container, which usually contains objects to trade, a logbook, and occasionally a camera so the person who finds it can take a picture of themselves.
Picknicking is one of our favorite summer family activities. At Brandywine Creek, you can rent out the large pavilion for events like family reunions and invite up to 80-100 guests. They also offer game rentals with the pavilion. Other facilities include picnic tables with small grills near Hawk Watch Hill, the Amphitheater, and the Thompson's Bridge parking lot. It's a great place to enjoy a small and casual family picnic or a larger event with dozens of friends and family members.

Can I join more than one group?
Daniel R. Stoller reports:
A French nongovernmental organization wants Facebook Inc. to pay 100 million euros ($113 million) and fix any problems stemming from recent data security incidents and privacy breaches.
The Internet Society of France, a public interest group that advocates for online rights, sent a formal notice to Facebook and its subsidiaries Instagram and WhatsApp, warning that it'll launch an EU-based group action if the company doesn't secure user personal data effectively.
Read more on Bloomberg Law.
[From the article:
The group is relying on the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, which took effect May 25. The strict privacy law allows EU citizens to use group actions, similar to a U.S. class action, to go after allegedly infringing companies across borders. The Internet Society claims against Facebook aren't the first group action but demonstrate the possible future legal risks for digital companies operating in the EU.

Romania Orders Journalists Investigating Corruption to Give Up Sources
The Romanian Data Protection Authority (ANSPDCP) Thursday ordered investigative outlet RISE Project to reveal its sources for reporting on an alleged European Union (EU) fund fraud that may involve an eminent Romanian politician.
… The reporting in question involves construction company Tel Drum SA and an alleged EU fund fraud and corruption case. RISE released a story on Monday describing the contents of a mysterious suitcase filled with documents, data, photos and videos that appear to connect Tel Drum to Liviu Dragnea, the leader of Romania's ruling Social Democratic Party (PSD).
The authority's letter to RISE cites the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a basis for ordering RISE to reveal its sources. Failure to respond within 10 days could lead to a fine of €650 (3,000 lei) per day, and additional fines up to a maximum of €20 million.
Interesting and complex.
Busting SIM Swappers and SIM Swap Myths
… Indeed, the theft of $100,000 worth of cryptocurrency in July 2018 was the impetus for my interview with REACT. I reached out to the task force after hearing about their role in assisting SIM swapping victim Christian Ferri, who is president and CEO of San Francisco-based cryptocurrency firm BlockStar.
In early July 2018, Ferri was traveling in Europe when he discovered his T-Mobile phone no longer had service. He'd later learn that thieves had abused access to T-Mobile's customer database to deactivate the SIM card in his phone and to activate a new one that they had in their own mobile device.
Soon after, the attackers were able to use their control over his mobile number to reset his Gmail account password. From there, the perpetrators accessed a Google Drive document that Ferri had used to record credentials to other sites, including a cryptocurrency exchange. Although that level of access could have let the crooks steal a great deal more from Ferri, they were simply after his cryptocoins, and in short order he was relieved of approximately $100,000 worth of coinage.
Perspective. Inevitable that some of the less valuable bits of the 'security theater' fade away.

SAN ANTONIO — Returning to San Antonio likely won't be this easy for Tennessee.
Taber Spani scored 18 points and Glory Johnson added 17 as the Lady Vols (No. 5 ESPN/USA Today, No. 6 AP) crushed Texas Tech 91-53 on Tuesday night in what Tennessee hopes will be the first of two trips to the Final Four city this season.
The road back is bound to be tougher: Tennessee opened the second half on a 32-4 run, held Texas Tech to 30 percent shooting and handed the game over to Spani and the rest of the Lady Vols bench early.
About the only thing giving the game a Final Four feel was defending national champion Connecticut watching nearby, waiting to play Texas (No. 13 ESPN/USA Today, No. 10 AP) in the second game of a doubleheader.
"It gives [the players] a taste of what it's all about," Tennessee coach Pat Summitt said about playing in the San Antonio showcase. "Clearly, we all want to be back. It kind of whets your whistle a little bit."
Shekinna Stricklen scored 16 points for the Tennessee and Angie Bjorklund sank four 3-pointers to finish with 14. The mostly burnt-orange crowd here for the Longhorns took in a dominating preview of Tennessee, which will face Texas at home Dec. 6.
Kierra Mallard scored 15 points and was the only player in double figures for Texas Tech. The Lady Raiders have never beaten the Lady Vols in six tries.
Tennessee flirted with holding Texas Tech to a single-game school record for poor field percentage before the Lady Raiders scored 21 of their points in the final 10 minutes. Before then, Texas Tech was shooting just under 24 percent from the floor.
Like the three other teams in the AT&T Center for the doubleheader, Texas Tech was once a Final Four contender before longtime coach Marsha Sharp retired after the 2005-06 season. Coach Kristy Curry has been trying to get Texas Tech back on track since.
"This does not define our season," Curry said. "When you're called for this opportunity, do you turn it down? No. You know this is the right step to take to get Tech back to where we want to be."
The Lady Vols have now opened the year with two wins over Big 12 teams after beating Baylor (No. 9 ESPN/USA Today, No. 8 AP) on Sunday. They'll play another pair of ranked teams starting Sunday at Virginia (No. 17 ESPN/USA Today, No. 12 AP) and then Nov. 25 at Middle Tennessee (No. 24 AP).
Stricklen just wants to be back in Texas come April.
"As a team that's our main goal — to come back here," Stricklen said. "Being here for the first time we really enjoyed it and we want to be back. We know what it takes to come back."

SAN ANTONIO — Returning to San Antonio likely won't be this easy for Tennessee.
Q&A with Taber Spani by Dan Fleser via GoVolsXtra.com
While growing up, Taber Spani didn't go to school. Instead, the classroom came to her.
The Tennessee women's basketball freshman and her four sisters were home-schooled. In their case, it meant scattering to five different parts of their Lee's Summit, Mo., home and watching DVDs provided by Pensacola, (Fla.) Christian Academy.
"They'd set up a camera in the back of the classroom," the 6-foot-1 guard said. "So you'd kind of watch your classes and then you'd have all of your homework and all of your tests and my mom would oversee it."
Spani still was able to play basketball. Since mom didn't play teacher's pet, there was no cutting corners on her education either.
"For me, it was built-in," she said. "But I think it would take a lot of discipline, just because when you're by yourself, it's always natural to not want to do something. I loved it."
Along with diligence, Spani has a built-in devotion to family and football, along with a desire for her faith to resonate in her life.
Q: Are you a big football fan?
A: Saturdays, if I'm not doing a workout, which I'll probably come in and shoot, but after that it's reserved for football.
Q: What position would you have played?
A: I'd either have been a linebacker – because that's what my dad was and I love to hit, I love that part – or I'd be a quarterback."
Q: Your dad (Gary) was a star player at Kansas State and with the Kansas City Chiefs. Did you hear a lot of stories growing up?
A: When I was born my dad had already been retired a couple of years. It's mostly from people … old buddies. They'll just start talking about it. My dad was ferocious. He was a worker. He was the ultimate worker. He'd run 50 40s every Wednesday in college. He didn't start, I don't think, until maybe midway through his freshman year. He didn't get a chance. And then somebody got hurt and he went in and he had 20-some tackles his first game in college. He kind of took off from there."
Q: You told me before of your admiration for Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. What is it about him?
A: What I love about him is he was home schooled. His beliefs are very similar. Most importantly, it's just the way he's an all-out leader. I love his passion for the game, the way he absolutely leads his team. He's going to do whatever he can. Maybe people will say he's not the most skilled athletically, but he gets the job done and he's going to will his team to victory. I kind of want to be the Tim Tebow of women's basketball – use my platform to influence people."
Q: What do you think when you hear about all of the mission work he does?
A: I love it. Obviously his parents, their missionary work is a tremendous outreach. I don't know what I want to do here, but I want to get involved somehow. I just feel like as athletes, especially at top programs like Tennessee, you only have four years. We have a platform, We have a chance to influence people. If you don't take advantage of that, I think that's sad, and I think that's really selfish. I'm going to do whatever I can. Obviously it comes hand-in-hand with performance, so I'm going to work my tail off on the court."
Q: How do you want your life to reflect your faith?
A: I want people to see Jesus through me. I want it to be clear who I am. I know that some people aren't going to agree with that but that doesn't really faze me. I want to be known as someone who's the ultimate competitor but loves you to death."
Dan Fleser covers the Lady Vols. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lady Vols Freshman
Tennessee moved a step closer to the official start of women's basketball practice next month by convening their first full-team workout on Thursday.
Since fall semester began, the Lady Vols had been conducting individual workouts that involved no more than four players at a time.
"We worked on all these things in individuals," freshman Taber Spani said, "but now it's understanding it in a team setting."
Actually the Lady Vols spent most of the individual sessions introducing and drilling on defensive concepts. They will use the team workouts to start playing catch-up on offense.
Team workouts also introduce the use of male practice players.
"The size of the guys down low defensively surprised me," freshman Faith Dupree said. "I've played some big people, but those are the biggest I've played."
UT coach Pat Summitt likely will be more vocal as well. During individuals, she spent more time observing while her assistant coaches directed the drills.
Dupree was happy to report that she survived a Summitt scolding on Thursday.
"You know what? Bring it," Dupree said. "I'm going to mess up, and she is going to tell me what I did wrong."

Kelly Cain Optimistic About Progress (via GoVolsXtra.com)
Kelley Cain hasn't charged headlong back onto the Pratt Pavilion court.
After two seasons worth of multiple knee surgeries and multiple concussions, the Tennessee women's basketball center is proceeding through individual workouts at a more practical pace.
"The confidence is coming back day by day," the 6-foot-6 redshirt sophomore said. "I'm not rushing into anything."
Cain had surgical screws removed from her right knee in early April. She said that her summer work was confined primarily to "rehab, rehab, rehab, rehab." She was able to do some cardiovascular work but didn't start running until the beginning of school.
She reports her knee, on which she had surgery to correct patella subluxation in December of 2007, is doing much better.
"It's working," Cain said. "Every now and then I might have pain but it's not as bad as it used to be."
As for the latest concussion, it occurred in a non-basketball-related incident a few weeks ago. Nobody has offered any specifics. Cain is back to being fully engaged in the on-court work, which progresses to weekly full-team workouts Thursday.
Until the start of official practice next month, Cain intends to concentrate on her conditioning, not her medical history.
"I'm looking at the positive side of everything," she said.
Sizing Up Spani: Taber Spani's career scoring and rebounding totals from high school stack up pretty well nationally.
The UT freshman, who was home-schooled and played for Metro Academy in Olathe, Kan., is the only girls' player to be ranked in the top 10 for scoring (4,113 points, seventh) and rebounding (1,758, ninth).
Notebook: Texas Tech freshman post player Shauntal Nobles is out for the season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon. UT plays Tech on Nov. 17 in San Antonio. … Recruits Lauren Avant and Meighan Simmons are scheduled to visit the weekend of Oct. 2. Avant already is verbally committed to UT … ESPN football analyst Todd Blackledge visited individual workouts Thursday to see Spani. Blackledge played with Spani's father, Gary, with the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs 1983-87.

LadyVolNation Introducing UT LadyVol: Taber Spani
LadyVolNation stand up! Hello BigOrange fans. Knoxville we have another shooter, she is 6'1, basketball intelligence beyond her years, and can shoot the 3 from anywhere in the building! Taber Spani was highly coveted by her father's alma mater K.State, but she grew up desiring to play for the BigOrange. She made a tough decision to come to Knoxville, rather than follow in the family tradition of going to K.State like her sister did, and we are grateful for that. She is a hard-nosed kid,(reminds me of Kara Lawson)and she has great court vision, so I believe the game just became a lot easier for all of our bigs.
I know that Taber has a relationship with God, she has been very open about that, coming from a private Christian School;reminding me of Shanna Zolman, who took Sidney Spencer under her wing, and we know how that worked out for us don't we, (national championship). Taber we look forward to seeing you on the court. Congratulations on your gold medal with the under 19 team. I want to see this line up: Stricklen,Spani,Bjorklund,Johnson,Cain! NCAAW Be afraid, be very afraid!

About the Author
Miranda Shanklin resides in Central Illinois with her husband and their two children. When she is not working at her day job as a paralegal, running her children to practices or supporting them at events she is writing. She has been an avid reader most of her life and has always dreamed of writing her own books someday. Now that her children are reaching their teenage years she is finding the time to sit down and chase her dream.
Miranda loves to hear your opinions and uses the feedback to improve. You can find her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/mirandashanklinauthor or email her at email@example.com.
– Let's here from Miranda herself! –
What got you into writing? I have always loved reading and dreamed of writing. One day I just decided to start writing.
What's your favourite book and why? I don't really have a favourite. I love all kinds of books.
What's your writing routine? I sit down at the computer and start typing.
Tea, or Coffee? Coffee, lots and lots of coffee
What got you into your particular genre of writing? I love reading paranormal romance so it made sense for me to try writing it.
Why do you love writing it? I love to write what I would love to read.
As a first time author, how are you finding the publishing process? A little overwhelming. I have had a lot of advice and tips from other authors as I try and find my way through it all.
How many books have you written and what are they? I have one full series out. The Soul Series consists of Soul Journey, Soul Redemption, Soul Knowledge, Soul Freedom and Soul Discovery.
As a series author, do you find it hard to keep the story fresh? It can be challenging. You have to find something new for each book but it still has to relate to what happened in the previous books.
What tips can you give aspiring authors about writing a series? Have an idea of how many books you want to include and a general idea where you want them to go. It will help to make it flow better.
Is there anything controversial or different about your writing? Not that I know of .
How do you manage your time? Is it hard balancing your writing life with your working life? My life is crazy busy. I am a mother first, then a wife, then a paralegal and then a writer. I have a very delicate balance that gets thrown off all the time LOL
Are you self-published or with an agent? Was this an active choice? I am self-published. It was an active choice. I don't have anything against agents or publishing companies I just wanted to show myself that I could do it on my own.
Do you have a writing space? Tell us what it's like! Right now my laptop is set up on my dining room table. I hope to add a small office onto the house in the next couple of years but for now I am in the middle of the house.
How do you keep motivated? I have a whiteboard with my characters and other important facts about the story that is in the dining room. Every time I walk through the house I see it and it keeps it all alive for me. My kids and husband are also very supportive and do everything they can to help me.
What did you struggle with the most when writing your new book? I had a little trouble at first getting it to come across on the page the same as it was in my head. It took me a little while to find my writing style.
Do you have any hints/tips for my readers about writing? If you can come up with a story that you would want to read then there is nothing stopping you from trying.
Is there anything you wish you had known BEFORE you started your latest book? A better way to market my books. I am still working on that LOL
You've got a new book out! What's it about? My books are about a group of witches. There is a little twist to the witching world though. There are no new witches born. The souls of each witch go through life cycles and as they get older they remember their past lives. The main characters in the story are the exemption to most of the rules due to a punishment that they have been fighting against for many lifetimes. They break free from their punishment only to find that they have now created an even bigger problem.
How did you decide on cover art? Did you consult with a designer or is it all you?
I asked a fellow author about cover art and what was the best option. I have zero ability in that field. I found the cover for my first book on Paper and Sage Designs in their pre-made section. I fell in love with it and bough it. I then worked with the cover artist to custom make the other covers so that they would all stay in one theme.

Breakout character is the unofficial term for the most outstanding, popular and interesting character in a TV show eventhough sometimes, the character wasn't the main character in that Series. The character is sometimes being syndicated to the huge success of the show. But at the same timethe character itself is a double edge sword for the actor, because generally, its very hard to get out from that stereotype, so the image of the character can become the image of the actor too.
And this is the list of the 3 most memorable breakout character in the TV series for me
Blair Waldorf at GOSSIP GIRL, played by Leighton Meester.
I'm a guy. I'm not a huge fans of GOSSIP GIRL, but I'm a huge fan of Blair Waldorf. Why? Her performance is awesome. Its like a combination of Audrey Hepburn, Young Miranda Richardson's Merryl Streep at the DEVIL WEARS Prada. I love it. She's hot, she's breathing fire out of her mouth, she's stylish, sometime she can become the most perfect anti hero for this utterly crap 21st century soap opera of teen life. I only watched GOSSIP GIRL for her performance only. Don't Judge Me!
Sheldon Cooper at THE BIG BANG THEORY, played by Jim Parsons
The only person you can imagine having Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder, Hypochondriasis, Mysophobia, narcisstic, geniuses, in one single human is Sheldon Cooper. This character is amazing. You can root for this guy, feel sorry for him, or even sometime hate him for his wrong treatment to his closest friends. And who can forget his memorable soft kitty tunes even though the song is only contains like 4 words of something, his disturbing smirk, or her amazing chemistry with his neighbor, Penny. Even Golden Globe already fallen to this guy's lap.
Barney Stinson at HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, played by Neil Patrick Harris
No doubt about it, Barney Stinson is the King of Breakout Character. He's a charming, bastardly coward but very likeable, an amazing catchphrase sprinkler, funny and witty Character. His popularity is very amazing, he already got 3 books-published, a couple website, and his own stupid blog. even though all the main character at HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is amazing too(especially that giant Marshall), but Barney Stinson is the backbone of the series. I cant imagine this sitcom without his appearance. his popular "have you met….." is very very useful too. I get some number at bar using that lines.

Breaking Information Emails

By means of Courtney Kube and Carol E. Lee
WASHINGTON — A Inexperienced Beret accused of murdering an unarmed Afghan guy desires fees dropped as a result of an investigator assigned to his case faces his personal fees of "stolen valor" – which means he allegedly claimed medals and different honors he did not earn.
In a memo filed through his legal professional Wednesday, Maj. Matt Golsteyn demanded his homicide case cross directly to trial or that the costs be brushed aside, waiving his proper to a initial listening to in army court docket.
A number of the causes Golsteyn's legal professional, Phil Stackhouse, cites for waiving the "Article 32" initial listening to and soliciting for dismissal is that Military Sgt. 1st Magnificence Mark Delacruz, an Military Legal Investigation Command agent assigned to Golsteyn's case, has been charged with 4 specs of "intent to mislead." In step with the costs in opposition to Delacruz, he claimed he earned a Red Middle and falsely wore a Battle Motion Badge and different awards. The costs state "such behavior [is] of a nature to carry discredit upon the defense force."
In his memo to the U.S. Military Particular Operations Command (USASOC), which is able to convene the army court docket for Golsteyn, Stackhouse alleges Delacruz "held himself out as a Particular Forces soldier, infantryman, sniper, and bragged about killing folks in fight."
"Paradoxically, he is bragged about dropping his Particular Forces Tab for an alleged unhealthy shoot in fight," which is identical allegation made in opposition to Golsteyn, Stackhouse writes.
In a observation, Legal Investigation Command (CID) showed that Delacruz, a distinct agent assigned to the Fortress Bragg CID Place of business, were charged with "the unauthorized put on" of 4 awards and falsifying promotion information. "He has been suspended from responsibility because the allegations got here to gentle in past due 2018," mentioned the observation.
The White Space and the USASOC didn't reply to requests for remark.
Golsteyn is accused of fatally capturing an Afghan guy, who he suspected used to be a bombmaker, on Feb. 22, 2010, in Marjah, Afghanistan. He used to be charged through the U.S. army with premeditated homicide in December 2018.
His case drew the eye of President Donald Trump, who wrote on Twitter in December that he would assessment Golsteyn's case. He additionally referred to Golsteyn as a "U.S. army hero."
On the similar time a spokesperson for U.S. Military Particular Operations Command mentioned "Golsteyn's speedy commander has made up our minds that enough proof exists to warrant" the price in opposition to him.
The Afghan guy Golsteyn is accused of killing were taken into custody over suspicions that he used to be accountable for planting explosives that killed two Marines, in line with army paperwork. The paperwork say the person used to be in the end launched, however he used to be killed someday later on.
Remaining month Golsteyn requested the Military brush aside his case, alleging in a letter that the army justice device had manipulated proof in opposition to him and engaged in "questionable behavior."
A spokesman for U.S. Particular Operations Command, Lt. Col. Loren Bymer, mentioned on the time that Golsteyn's request used to be below assessment and "till additional understand the Article 32 initial listening to continues to be scheduled for March 14, 2019, at Fortress Bragg, N.C."
Golsteyn's January request for dismissal of his case centered at the means investigators used the account of his movements he supplied throughout a CIA polygraph check when he used to be making use of for a role with the undercover agent company in 2011.
His disclosure throughout the polygraph of his capturing the Afghan guy brought about the Military Legal Investigation Command (CID) to release an investigation into Golsteyn in past due 2011.
In April 2014, Golsteyn won an professional reprimand for his movements, however no formal fees had been filed on the time because of a loss of bodily proof, army officers mentioned. In 2016, Golsteyn gave the impression on FOX Information and admitted to killing the Afghan guy. The interview introduced new consideration to his case.

English Estates: Barling's Make Smooth Billiard (1759) (EL) (Pre-Transition) (Replacement Stem)
Product Number: 004-002-15334
A relatively handy, though long and lithe rendition of the Billiard, this pre-Transition Barling is a fine product of the marque's heyday. It wears a nice spread of birdseye at the right flank, all highlighted by warm finish, and complemented by a slender jet-black stem. Said stem isn't entirely flush with the shank, leading us to surmise it probably came from another Barling briar, and aside from that and some rim darkening and a few dings, condition is good.- Daniel Bumgardner

A chain of French bistro restaurants owned by Resto Plasiris group. They also own Cafe du Monde as well as a few others. However, even though we said its a chain, each one is unique in its own way and very high quality.
We come every time for the Maple Glazed barbecue ribs but really you cannot go wrong with any of the choices. You can choose between a variety of French styled dishes: steak frites to escargot to everything in between. The food has consistently been good and we never get bored.
This is on our list of the Top 10 restaurants for Quebec City every time.
A few pro tips:
- Go to the Cochon Dingue by the Galeries de la Capitale as the one in town can sometimes get very busy.
- The kids menu is one of the best we have seen, three courses for about $8.
- At the end of the meal the kids get to choose a little toy from the bin.

Sometimes, I just can't help running into photographers. It's not a bad thing, but it happens often in places that are popular to photograph, such as National Parks. What I didn't expect was to run into a landscape film photographer on Ohio Creek Pass in Western, Colorado. It proceeded into a two our conversation as we both waited for perfect light and conditions to take place.
During our many conversations on subjects from hobbies, to chasing light, to business ideas, one thing was quite common in both of us; our willingness to wait for the perfect light and the perfect conditions. I realized that few photographers are willing to wait for the perfect moment such as this. But, that is was separates me from others; my willingness to wait.

Yeah, there's for sure truth there. I used to commute from college park to rockville and most of the trip was reasonably safe (I knew 100 routes between home and work and could 'maximize' safety or speed depending on which way I went). However, a screw up on my part nearly did me in early one morning. I didn't see something on the road and managed to crash right in front of a pickup truck. I was actually under his front bumper and had one of his tires touch me. I got away with just a little road rash, amazingly enough. The real cause was getting on the bike without being fully alert and that's a mistake I don't think I've repeated since, on a bicycle or motorcycle.

Psychology of Shareable Content - The Story Behind a Good Story
September 14, 2018
4:55 pm
Writing trends
content writing
The psychology of shareable content
It takes more than a few words on paper to entice your audience. You've got to choose your words wisely in order to connect with your audience and inspire them to take action. Getting your audience to love and share your content can bring in hordes of new potential clients, which in turn helps boost your credibility. In addition, it might even make Google so excited, they'll reward you with a higher rank in the search engine. But what does it take to write content your audience love to read ? A look into our brain reveals what it is that makes content shareable.
The "salesperson-effect"
We are constantly being exposed to content on websites, social media, and so on. Some of it we share, and a lot of it we don't.
UCLA psychologists
found that something happens in our brain, during that first split second we are being exposed to content, that is different for the things we share versus those we don't. A phenomenon psychologists refer to as the "salesperson-effect". A good story activates the mentalizing system in the brain, or the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), which is located on the outer surface of the brain. Ultimately, when we're reading a good story, the TPJ is responsible for making us want to tell other people. And as it turns out, a good story makes us good at convincing others to get on board too. So when done well, your content could be your 24/7 salesperson.
Tap into emotions
Now that we know the brains behind a good story, let's take a look at some of the other factors that play a role in whether or not we choose to share content with others.
Berger & Milkman
, for instance, found that emotions also play an important role in determining how shareable your content is. They found that positive content is shared more often than negative content. Although, there is a little more to the story. Yes, content that evokes strong positive emotions, like awe, laughter, and amusement, are very likely to be shared, but surprisingly, readers are also very likely to share content associated with strong negative emotions, like anger or anxiety. You might want to stay away from writing sob-stories though. Low-arousal emotions, like sadness, decrease the chances of your content being shared.
The element of surprise
When something good happens unexpectedly, it triggers a response in the brain. Our brain releases dopamine, which fuels the sharing of content. When writing your content, think about how you can make your audience feel good when they engage with your brand. Feel-good content will help your audience visualize how good they feel about themselves and your business. Content that takes you by surprise is also more likely to be stored in memory. This means it's more likely to be remembered by your audience than predictable content.
Of course, all this sounds nice. But what steps can you actually take to surprise your audience into sharing? You offer them new information, do something unexpected, or add a twist to the usual. Like the ending of this post:
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

Erbil (Iraqinews.com) – A Saudi plane landed Monday at the Erbil International Airport (EIA) to be the first flight to arrive at the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region since Baghdad lifted an air embargo it imposed on Kurdish airports last week.
According to Kurdistan 24, the plane took off from Saudi Arabia and landed at the Erbil airport at 7:00 am (local time). It is expected to carry Kurdish pilgrims to perform Umrah (minor pilgrimage) in Saudi Arabia.
Today's flight put an end to a few months' hiatus of international flights to Kurdish airports.
"Today, the first international flight will leave Erbil to Jeddah," Mohammed Ghafour Khoshnaw, the executive head of the Saudi branch of Flynas airline in Erbil, said.
Khoshnaw stated that from now on, Flynas would have four weekly flights between Erbil and Jeddah.
A Fly Dubai airplane is also scheduled to land at the EIA at 4:00 pm (local time) before returning to Dubai shortly after with 164 passengers onboard.
Last week, the Iraqi government issued a decision to lift a ban it imposed on international flights to and from Kurdish airports.
The international flights to Kurdistan had been suspended after the Kurds voted overwhelmingly to break away from Iraq in a referendum held on Sept. 25, defying the central government in Baghdad as well as neighboring Turkey and Iran who have their own Kurdish minorities.

Updated Demigod of Acheron
Hmm.. anyone even using this / crafting anymore.
A lot that was promised was never allowed to come live. Lots of broken promises along the way.
Depends on the crafter, and what they craft. If its one of the smith's. Then they do need the space.
I know I personaly have 6 alt accounts full of mats (that I can remember) . Should just...
Shult is the waeapons.
Kesh is the armour. Never did get the armour, few times I saw it Schou (if he plays) and a few others kept beating me on the rolls.
Hundreds of times sounds right lol, ...
Keep in mind, it is not just a weapons recipe. To use it you need to be a Weapon / Armour smith combination as it has a shield included.
PvP server its not pvp anymore? I remember epic fights at the zone line. Or even deep down inside when you ran into another team.
Fun times.
Doesn't even need a full revamp, could just put in the recipies that got removed way back, like the potions and such (there used to be fire / disease / cold / elec ) resistance potions. Fix Onyx...
ALL banned for letting this thread die.
Necromancer ..playing with the dead
Will give people an edge who wish to farm this zone. However if the zone becomes popular or used it becomes impossible to do really.
The zone counts as an OUTSIDE zone, just like if you camped...
Multi bosses, each boss different set of recipies.. Unless it has changed.
Kesh is around the corner and drops the Shemite set for armour. Schult is easy, Kesh is a pain. There was an easy way...
Banned for mentioning that failed game.. I wont mention it myself.
is it forum necromancy to bring myself back from the dead?
Nope, that wasnt me posting before. You can easily tell that it wasnt me because there was no Balls for Koji's face. And there was no mention of gerbils.. not even one furry lil bugger.
Trusting FC on promises.... LOL..
Caster revamps.. Crafting... LOL.. just lol.
Lol. Bit late in responce but technicaly its mine. I dont check up on the game much anymore. RL has been stopping me. Also FC doesnt seem to have any interest in finishing revamps it planned...

Weight loss behavior modification
Bodyweight reduction contains implementing various techniques, including a knowledge regarding diet and exercising, a positive mindset and the proper kind of inspiration. Inner purposes like improved health, better energy for daily activities, self-esteem or personal control improve your probability of long-term weight control achievements.
Remember to set clear objectives and think for a longer period. Believe in your own capabilities and that you are able to achieve a certain thing. The following details will offer you ways to help fulfill your objectives. When we read about fat loss, we usually think about the foods that we eat. The concerns that we ask all the time seem to concentrate on how many fats, proteins, and carbohydrates to consume or whether weight loss supplements help us take off any excess weight.
Diets present in mass media as having maximum efficiency for losing bodyweight are plentiful, yet we have a population with a serious overweight problem. What people seem not to consider, when they focus on fat reduction, is how they are appreciating and handling the processes of body changes.
As vital as is to pay attention to what we eat to burn fat and maintaining a slim physique, it is also essential to consider exercising and changes in our way of life over a longer period. How to integrate behavior changes, what techniques are used to follow new dietary habits and improving physical exercising just cannot be neglected.
The issue is that bringing these changes into your daily life is difficult. If it this were not the case, we would not have an overweight outbreak in the Western countries nor would approximate medical care expenses for lack of physical exercise have been enormous in the last couple of decades (admittedly a multibillion figure, but less likely to have been lower considerably these years.
Positive behavior changes, which concentrate on modifying how people think about themselves, how they act or conditions that encompass how they act, is the right method for a variety of problems, such as weight loss. The secret for this is to concentrate on bringing changes and adhering to them. What positive behavior do techniques help individuals to shed bodyweight and improve their way of life?
This element needs that instead of beating yourself for not reaching an objective, you should go for your own personal desires. When you monitor yourself, you commence to see limitations, you are focused on actual physical hints and identify difficulties when you want to modify your actions. Too often, people depend on adverse self-judgment in order to remain motivated in their efforts and, while doing that, they do not succeed to identify and go over real limitations.
You could see yourself as a researcher while you keep your own body under observation. You might want to have a log with your diet or exercises, for instance. Doing that can help to solve a problem when life gets too hectic and you get astray. With the higher interest of your experiences, you are more capable to figure out ways to sustain new actions when your initial inspiration is declining.
The usage of rewards to maintain changes in actions has been substantially analyzed and the idea is currently being used to recovering and keeping wellness. These include organizations that offer low-priced on-site fitness machines as a reason to exercise, giving money incentives or gift certificates, offering free wellness training and providing top quality discount rates to people who meet various requirements.
Adopting a healthy way of life is not just a problem of replacing the food in your dishes. Long-term changes take continual initiatives over time, so whether people reach their objectives relies upon on they we make these changes, their attitude or what they replace with in order to maintain their inspiration.
Opinions and encouragement.
It may be necessary to get feedbacks from outside people. Having a doctor consistently discuss with you could offer an external opinion. Ideas about your eating plan or workout schedule can bring inspiration or help to modify your actions for the better. Outside feedbacks also could help you to keep your objectives committed but realistic.
Setting objectives
If you look to fulfill the objectives that you set for yourself, consider the next elements:
- the more particular an objective, the more prone you are to accomplish it;
- ambitious objectives are useful, but extremely committed objectives can be overwhelming;
- regular reviews on improvements enhance results.
When we talk about fat loss, then an objective to consume fruits at the end of your meals rather than desserts in particular and could be clearly monitored. Specific objectives around exercising or types of foods that you eat, which are actions that you have power over, are superior to objectives to lower bad cholesterol or blood in sugar stages, since these may go up and down for motives outside your own power.
Enhancing the assumption that you are capable to do it
When you get into any scenario with the mindset that you certainly will not succeed, you lower your possibility of being successful. It is vital to concentrate not only on actions but also on the perspective regarding your capability to bring the improvements that you want. A great way to enhance your perception about your own possibilities is to actually have some achievements.
Establishing tangible and realistic objectives, such as consuming fruits at morning meal or instead of an evening TV show going for light jogging, can make your self-assurance to fix objectives that are more committed. If you are hoping to enhance your perception that you are capable to do something, this method could also assist to search for individuals with similar problems and who have surpassed the tough changes that you also are attempting to make, so you can learn from those who will motivate in your quest for weight loss.

Pooja: As I am writing this on the 29th of February, I am reminded of a strange feeling. The 366th day of the year can have different meanings based on who you talk to. For Cam, it is now his eleventh birthday (Modern Family)! For the 1310 seniors and myself graduating in May, it is a reminder that our next round of fours are almost up. If you ask me what I did last Feb. 29, I couldn't tell you exactly. However, I could tell you that I shared the same sense of anxiety, displacement, change, nostalgia and sentimentality that I feel now. On Feb. 29, 2012, I was a senior in high school with the same excitement and terror for Tufts as I now have for the real world. If you ask me about the leap year before that (2008), I was a gawky eighth grader with similar sentiments about entering high school. I would like to dedicate this week's column and this leap year to the Class of 2016, who have taken much more than just a leap of faith for the past three February 29ths (for those who follow this schedule of fours). I'd like to think we are given something on the 366th day of the year — we're given the chance to acknowledge how far we've come. We're given an anniversary of perspective on how much we've grown and how much growth is left to come.
Dear NYSD, What should I name my dog?
Rebecca: This is easy — you should name your dog after Pooja. Her name is quite versatile; we even had a friend who would use her name as an expletive. If his team were winning the football game, he would scream, "Pooja!" If his team were losing the football game he would dejectedly sink into his seat, whispering, "Oh, Pooja." Pooja is clearly the best choice for your dog's name. However, if you were looking for something more traditional, choose Skip.
Dear NYSD, I think my boyfriend loves me, but he hasn't said it yet, what does that mean?
Rebecca: I have never been good at the "wait and see" method; I need a deadline. I need to know exactly when and how something will happen. Therefore, reader, it pains me to say that there is no exact time your significant other will tell you he loves you. Here you have two choices — you can wait and see without an end in sight, or you can be bold and say it first. Here at NYSD, we like Woody Allen, believe that 80 percent of life is just showing up, but a fifth of the time you have to do a little more heavy lifting. So be bold, reader, say it first, and if your significant other does not feel the same way, you can move onto finding someone who will!
That's all that we have for this week — keep submitting questions to our Google Doc!

Beareater replied to Beareater's topic in HTML/XHTMLThanks Foxie for the lead with the include statement. I followed the link and it does look like PHP would do it, just will take me some time to work it, which is not a problem. I was just hoping there would be a simple HTML solution similar to when I source an image on my site;  It just seems that if I can source and image I should be able to source a list of text... If i used PHP...... would the "source" look something like this and be found in the same directory?; list.php <?php $list='HTML for my list'; ?> and my page would look something like this?; //poetry page code// //html proceeding list// <?php include 'list.php'; echo "$list"; // HTML for my list ?> //HTML after list// Thank for the help also Male Newbie [ (: ]

Creating a separate source page for a list that changes.
Beareater posted a topic in HTML/XHTMLGood Day to All. I have a website to display my artwork and poetry. In the poetry section there is the main page with links to other pages and also an anthology which lists my poems by title, the titles are linked to a page to view the poems in their entirety. When you click the link to any poem, that page also displays the anthology so that you can easily navigate to the next poem that interests you without having to return to the main poetry page. The problem I find myself with is that when I want to add a new poem to the anthology I need to edit every page that contains that list. Not something I am interested in doing. I created the website from scratch several years ago and am just a novice, nothing fancy. I have searched the internet for answers but have yet to find what I am looking for. I would like to create the Anthology as a list of links on a separate page/file that can be referenced/sourced in each poetry page that would display the list. In this manner I only have to edit one page and those changes will reflect on all the associated pages. This is the navigation portion of the code that reflects the links desired;

Anthology

A Child Cries

Broken Flowers

 Ideally, all the links below

 would be referenced/sourced from a different page/file. My difficulty is two fold. 1. How to source the link. I have tried javascript (which i do not know);  This was the closest thing I could find that might get me where I want. 2. how to create/format the source page that contains the information. currently it is saved as .js Here is the poetry page of the website;http://sagebrushart.com/Poetry.html Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Most beginner guitarists tend to rely on acoustic guitar tuners to help them tune their new acoustic or electric guitar. However, learning how to tune a guitar using harmonics without a tuner is a great way to train your ear.
There are multiple techniques for tuning. But, using what is known as guitar harmonics is by far the most accurate way to tune your guitar.
Watch the demonstration below for a step-by-step guide to tune a guitar using harmonics.
How to Create Guitar Harmonics
The first step to tuning your guitar using harmonics is to learn how to create a harmonic. You create a harmonic when you lightly place your finger on a specific nodal point along the guitar string and plucking the string. This is most notably at the 5th, 7th and 12th frets – although there are others. Test out exactly where to place the finger, but it usually works best when the finger is directly above the fret.
Doing this creates a tone much higher than if you had pressed down firmly on the fret. These higher tones are much easier for the ear to pick up and discern, therefore making tuning the beginner guitar easier.
Tune a Guitar Using Harmonics
Once you understand how to create a harmonic, the next step is to tune the guitar. You will begin on the 5th fret of the top string (the E) and create the harmonic. While that is still ringing, pluck the harmonic on the 5th string (the A) on the 7th fret. These two should sound exactly the same.
Move along each of the 6 strings and repeat this same process, testing the 5th fret harmonic of the top string against the 7th fret of the string below it.
There is one exception. Due to the way a guitar is laid out, this will not work on the G string going to the B string. In this case just press down on the 4th fret of the G string and compare that to the open B string.
Testing Your Tuning
In order to test the accuracy of your tune, use the 12th fret harmonic on both the top E and bottom E strings. If they sound in perfect tune, then you've done a good job! If not, it's back to the drawing board 🙂

Great Tips To Help Your Home Business Enterprise Run Smoothly
Have you decided to start your own online business? Working from home gives you the freedom to work when you want and to do what you want. If you want to achieve success, however, you must treat your business as a real job. Having the necessary knowledge beforehand can prevent a great deal of stress.
Keep your focus on maintaining your relationship with current customers. It isn't as hard to build a repeat customer base as it is to bring in new customers. A happy customer base will return again and again.
Do everything you can to make sure your customers are satisfied. Maybe send a thank you note for their order or even send them a free gift as a sample, just make sure they know how valued their business is. People really enjoy getting something for nothing, it can make them feel wanted. Show them that you do not take their business for granted.
You can participate in online home business owner forums. These forums will let you collaborate with others in a similar situation. Having that connection with others that work at home, you can help each other along the way.
If you're artistic, you may start a graphic design business that caters to local businesses. Small and local businesses often like having the ability to work one-on-one with an independent designer rather than hiring a large, impersonal design company. That's one place where you have a great advantage over larger companies.
Affiliate marketing can provide great benefits. Trade affiliate links with other work from home business owners and help each other grow your business traffic. You can also join up with affiliate programs that are already successful so you can promote things that work well with what you sell. You can boost your revenues without the need to increase your inventory.
Create a business plan that works for you. You can make adjustments to this business plan as needed. You could also start another one from scratch if you see it is not working. But having a business plan gives you the discipline to follow your initial ideas and serves as a tangible reminder of what you want to accomplish. Update your business plan periodically.
Financial records pertaining to your business must be complete and accurate. Should the IRS audit you, you're going to have to give them proof of the expenses and income from your business. When you are maintaining accurate records of finances, you can also monitor your business success from month to month.
Keep your workplace safe. This includes having a smoke detector and fire extinguisher in your work area. Also create an ergonomic work environment, be it at a work table or your computer desk. The right type of fire protection helps you lower your business insurance costs, and an ergonomic keyboard helps protect your hands.
As you make money, set aside some of it to satisfy your tax liability. Around fifteen to twenty percent of what you make in a year will have to be paid back to the government in the form of taxes. By setting aside some money, it is much easier on you instead of having to fight to gather enough money when tax time arrives.
Ensure your online business won't interfere with your family's routine. If your business is going to be a serious imposition on the lives of your family then you should reconsider your venture.
Price your merchandise appropriately. If you produce the product yourself, find out what your production costs are. The generally accepted formula to deduce the price that the customer will pay is to double the cost that you pay for the merchandise. That is what dictates what price to charge others for your wholesale products. To determine the retail price, you should figure: COST X 3.
Network with home based business operators in your area. Doing this will help your business to gain exposure and grow more rapidly. It also offers you the chance to interact with others.
With the information found here, you'll be ready to make your business that much more rewarding. Similar to many other adventures you may take in life, your home business enterprise will be more successful when you're properly prepared. You want your home business enterprise to run correctly and hopefully this will occur.

I have always loved Claude Monet, but when I went to his home at Giverny, I realized that beauty can come from the most unexpected places. Have you ever seen a photo of Monet?
Born in November of 1840, his photos make him look like November, blustery, stern and cold. A tour of Giverny will introduce you to a rigid parent and a master of his domain. But when you look at the results, you see an almost feminine softness in his devotion to color and beauty.
The light and the countryside drew him to Giverny, where he was the architect of his gardens and at one point employed seven gardeners to plant according to his specifications. This April the gardens were aglow with bands of tulips, in a palette of white, yellow, orange and peach, as well as yellow and white jonquils and narcissus, with clusters of purple lupins along the edges. The arbor down the middle leading to the front door was not as yet covered, but you could just imagine what it would be like in the height of summer. (Hint: Catch the express train to Giverny from Paris.)
Meticulous about interior design, he, not his wife, chose the home décor, which is lovely in bright yellows and cornflower blues with white lace curtains, or the style now called Country French.
He was a caring though demanding family man. When money was tight, he and his family shared lodging with the Hoschedé family. After his wife died, and Ernest Hoschedé left, he took care of the Hoschedés, eventually marrying Alice after her husband's death. Alice didn't like the idea of Monet painting other women, so she asked that only her daughters be his models. He agreed.
The one thing he was the most inflexible about was his desire to paint nature. Impressionism was new and didn't advance him as rapidly as traditional art promoted other young painters, who trained by copying the masters at the Louvre. Dedicated to knowing everything about light and nature, Monet often painted one outdoor scene in several lighting conditions. He painted the Rouen Cathedral more than thirty times during the course of two years. When you visit Musée d'Orsay and see five of the paintings together, you can appreciate Monet's intense attention to light. (Hint: Go early and start at the top floor.)
Monet's professional career took off when Americans fell in love with his art. And he fell in love with Japanese art. Giverny is full of his collection. As his sales increased he was able to design his Japanese water garden beyond the railroad track on the edge of his property. He rerouted a small river to create a pond, built his famous green bridge, and planted the banks with flowers and flowering trees. As we strolled the bank this month, the scenery dripped in delicate pink and white blossoms. The flaming colors of fall are said to be the best. I'll have to go back.
Monet will always be a puzzle to me. How could a man who appears so harsh and so masculine create such gentle beauty? He was complex, and appearance is deceptive.
