(27 May 2019) Europe's voice for working women and men, the European Trade Union Confederation, set its priorities for the next 4 years. These include stronger collective bargaining, higher wages and socially just transitions. ETUC wants a reform of EU economic policymaking to promote social justice, job-friendly investment, sustainable growth, and fair, progressive taxation as objectives of EU economic policy. Europe's workers are experiencing the negative impact of conservative and extreme-right attacks on their working conditions as working time is prolonged, bargaining made more difficult and precarious work not addressed. Fighting for democracy, tolerance and social justice will run throughout the work of the ETUC.
The ETUC elected its new team. The General Secretary Luca Visentini was re-elected and Laurent Berger is the new President.
EPSU speakers engaged in several debates. Thomas Kattnig defended the role of public services in the economy and the importance of public investment referring to the positive experience of the city of Vienna. Dave Prentis continued by underlining the problems of private investment in public services for example in the form of PPPs. He cited several examples of such PPPs having gone badly wrong for workers and the users of the services in the UK. Gonca Acaray the youth delegate in the EPSU delegation stressed the important role of public service workers in responding to migration and welcoming refugees including in her country Turkey. Maryvonne Nicolle defended our position on EU-level standardisation and the risk they pose to developing quality health and social care for all, and Ivana Břeňková argued for keeping strengthening public healthcare systems, giving examples from Central and Eastern Europe including the Czech Republic.
One of the high points in the Congress was when EPSU vice-president Françoise Geng got a long standing ovation for her contribution on the debate on equality. She rallied Congress behind the defense of women's rights under attack in many countries by the conservatives and extreme right – Our Body, Our Choice. She spoke just after our Gloria Mills who as leader of the ETUC Women's Committee inspired and warmed Congress up in her defense of public service workers, so many of them being women.
Another important moment for the Federation was when Congress unanimously adopted an emergency resolution in support of the defense of European social dialogue. Congress stated the Commission needs to respect the Treaty rules and must not interfere in the social dialogue. The emergency resolution came hours before the EPSU court case was heart in Europe's Court in Luxembourg.
EPSU amendments on clear language on public services and public investment, and on standardisation met with large support but did not reach 50%.
Congress adopted several other emergency resolutions on Brexit on the situation in Austria where the government collapsed and on freedom and protection for Iranian unionists.
The 14th ETUC Congress took place in Vienna, 21-24 May 2019. The EPSU delegation of 16 delegates, 5 substitutes and 5 observers was led by the EPSU President and General Secretary.

There are certain situations that I have to endure that really make me uncomfortable. Sometimes I think introverts think they are the only ones who feel uncomfortable and awkward in social situations. But, no, we extroverts have our uncomfortable and awkward moments as well. Here are some of mine.
1. Senior Nights--This year I had a senior who was recognized three different times for "Senior Night". One for Soccer, one for Basketball, and one for Band. I love my daughter, and really am glad they encourage the student athletes, cheerleaders and band members in this way, but it is an uncomfortable time for me. I don't like standing out in front of everyone. In never know what to buy to present on Senior Night. It was always rather uncomfortable.
2. Graduation--Yes, graduation is a tough one. I know, weird isn't it? I work for the school. I help kids with their future plans. But the actual event itself is so uncomfortable for me. Even if I have a student graduating. I just never know what to do, when to approach kids, if they want me to approach them to congratulate them. Ugh.....it is just a weird time for me.
3. Same with 8th grade completion ceremony. Now, talking at the ceremony itself is fine. But afterward it is so strange. I never know what to say to the students, who to congratulate, when to do it, do they really care? All of these thoughts go through my mind.
4. Chamber lunches. It is always uncomfortable walking into a chamber luncheon. Where do I sit. Do I know someone to sit with? Sometimes I get lucky and sit by someone easy to talk to. Sometimes I don't, and depending on who I sit with, either I feel obligated to keep a conversation going, or I just sit and listen and feel uncomfortable. Now, if I am presenting at the meeting, or performing, then I am in my comfort zone. But the chit chatting during the meal....not so much.
5. Social Gatherings. I like parties, but it is always uncomfortable arriving and not know where to sit, or what to do. Tonight Paul and I attended a birthday party. I was so relieved when we quickly found a table with two places at it by a friend who it was easy to visit with. And this was full of a room full of people I was very well acquainted with, such as co-workers, theater people, etc., but it can still be very uncomfortable and awkward at times.
Right now I am home.
I am comfortable.
I am safe.
I usually don't feel awkward in my own home.

ABSTRACT: Hydraulic fracturing is an important stimulation treatment to create an enhanced geothermal system. Accurate interpretation of the breakdown pressure (the critical pressure at which "breakdown" takes place in hydraulic fracturing) can assist engineers to better performing hydraulic fracture treatment designs. The breakdown pressure is known to exhibit a dependence on wellbore size, pressurization rate, fluid viscosity, fluid infiltration, and fluid compressibility. Determination of breakdown pressure has been the subject of intense study for several decades. However, little attention has been drawn to effect of non-linear fluid compressibility on breakdown pressure. Here, we modified the Ito's tensile failure criterion by replacing the Terzaghi effective stress with a general effective stress and developed a breakdown criterion that accounts for fluid type and state. The present model gives good agreement with experimental data. Sensitivity studies are conducted to investigate the influences of fluid compressibility, fluid viscosity, and pressurization rate on the breakdown pressure. It indicates that 1) the non-linear compressibility effect inhibits the propagation of pore pressure perturbation, and 2) for inviscid fluid, the breakdown pressure is a constant, which corresponds to the lower limit of the breakdown pressure. The proposed model can provide some theoretical support in hydraulic fracturing treatment design.

The Basics
Life On the Run
Wilhelmina was born on an Autumnal evening to a happy family in Greece. Young Wilhelmina, nicknamed Willa from a young age, was brought into the world to a family considered one of the most influential and well known Nephilim families in history. From the moment the little girl was born, she was doted on by her family and there was much of it. Young Willa had both a mother and father for company, along with an older brother by six years, aunts and uncles a plenty and even grandparents.
The early years in Willa's life were blissful, she was a playful and curious child who wasn't afraid to go further than others dared to and often caused mischief doing so. Willa enjoyed climbing and playfighting and could more than hold her ground against the other nephilim children in the village around her age. More than anything, Willa was stubbornly brave and wouldn't dare back down from a challenge. She caused her parents no end of worry, but she was her own person and there was no changing that.
Despite being split in age by six years, Willa always looked up to and adored her older brother Aeryn, he would always cheer her up when she was down by sharing his food with her or telling her stories, when other children would say something mean he would always be the one to stand up for her and try to make things right. Willa could always rely on Aeryn to be there to take care of her and she tried her best to impress him and make him proud.
As Willa had been born into a Nephilim community, she was raised and taught amongst other Nephilim children, they rarely had exposure to humans or other supernatural species, though she was taught about them from her grandmother who loved to share stories with her about all the wonderful creatures that were out there beyond village. Of course that wasn't a place she was allowed to venture to alone, not until she reached age and could make her own decisions about her safety and the risks she wanted to take.
Whilst some of the learning material was shared with the human ways of teaching, being a Nephilim meant that as soon as you were able to wield a weapon safely, you were trained in combat to become a warrior. Willa enjoyed this kind of learning, she was very much a practical person, she enjoyed things she could do, such as learning to wield swords and to spar against other young nephilim from the village. Willa also found some talent in drawing and carving, a pastime that through her life became a good outlet for her emotions and to express the things she couldn't put into words.
Growing up into her teens and early 20s, Willa had become and strong and independent person, she did however remain less sociable than most of her peers, Willa enjoyed her alone time, she sometimes came off a little standoffish to others, namely because she was impatient and didn't have time for their small talk and the way that people tended to fill the silence with the noise for fear of the silence itself. Willa was content with silence, silence helped her to think clearly and made it easier to breathe, easier to understand.
For the most part, Willa's childhood had been a happy and fulfilling one, she had a father and mother who loved one another, a brother who protected her and cared for her, she had passions and things that made her enthusiastic, especially combat skills and reading literature. A perfect life however was simply an impossible feat. The change to her life came to slowly that at first she barely even noticed it, her father had always been a kind leader of their people, she had seen him and Aeryn talking about the politics of their village many times, it wasn't something that interested her, but she could respect the ability to lead and make decisions for the best of the people.
It slowly became more and more evident however that her father was avoiding her, he would spend long days away from home, go on hunting trips and make any excuse to not be where he should be, with his family. Despite the fact that her father was pulling further and further away from her and her mother, he seemed to pull Aeryn closer, like he was the only person that mattered to him anymore. It hurt to watch as her father gave Aeryn all of his attention and love while he left her and her mother out in the cold but she didn't know what she could do to change that, perhaps he simply hadn't wanted a daughter and wished that she had been born a son.
Willa and her mother grew closer in the absence of her father and her brother, her mother taught her to cook and how to sew, she showed her the basics on how to make clothes and even some survival skills such as how to find food in the wild and how to create a fire to cook it. After a while, her father barely came home at all, she felt disconnected from him, like she had done something wrong except she didn't know what it was. Willa did everything she could to improve herself so that he would notice her feats, she trained for hours to become strong like Aeryn was, hoping that her father would see how hard she was working and bring her into the loop like he had done with Aeryn.
It didn't matter how hard she worked however, her father would simply bat away her achievements away with a wave of his hand. His tone of voice when speaking to her became colder and more distant. Willa had heard the rumours around the village when it came to her father, he was turning made they would all whisper when they thought she wasn't listening. She heard their talk about his obsession with stockpiling weapons and searching for mystical objects. Willa had heard similar words when she heard her brother whispering with her uncle around the village, thinking that she didn't notice their words.
Willa had the feeling that something bad would come of all of this but she didn't know how she could stop it nor what she should do. Willa confided in Aeryn her feelings on what was happening and he assured her that he had a plan to make their father see sense again, Aeryn was sure that their uncle could get through to him and that he could bring their father back to the person he used to be, the kind and gentle leader who everyone looked up to and respected, no one moreso than his daughter.
Willa had agreed to let Aeryn try and handle the situation, it wasn't like she had enough pull in the village to get anyone to help her and even if she did, she wasn't sure that anyone would be willing to go behind the back of their leader, even if they disagreed with some of his choices. Things started to fall apart however after her father and uncle had left for a hunting trip as planned. They were supposed to return in 2 days, but a week had passed and no one had seen nor heard from either of them. Willa began to fear the worst about what had happened to them, despite her father's coldness over the past few years, she still cared for his safety and she knew her mother felt the same way.
Willa knew that Aeryn was afraid too, he had scoured the village for help to go out and search for them however everyone seemed to have a reason why they couldn't help, it only made the feeling in the pit of her stomach feel worse as she started to question the what could have happened's in her mind. The same feelings she could see echoed in her brother's eyes as she watched him determined to not let the village fall apart in the absence of a constant leader.
Willa was awoken in the middle of the night by a loud shout. She had quickly sat straight up in bed grabbing her knife as she had done so for fear of some danger around. By the time she had blinked the sleep out of her eyes and tried to comprehend what was happened her brother had already darted out of the door and into the clearing that centered the houses in the village. Despite her fear of what could be out there, Willa had silently moved through the hut to the doorway. The moment that she stepped out of the door however, her brother had moved to shield her view. Regardless of her brother's efforts to protect her from seeing such horrors, a gut wrenching cry escaped the nephilim's lips when her eyes fell on the lifeless corpse of her uncle.
Her cry however had been nothing compared to the sound which escaped her mother's lips as she joined the scene. Willa felt numb, she didn't know how to react or what she could do, her father had become a monster, he had lost his mind entirely and now she feared that he was going to kill every last person in the village. The words that came from her father's mouth she was barely able to comprehend as she looked between her uncle and then to her mother. The shock washed over her like a stab in the heart, she didn't know how to make her legs work, all she could do was stare forward like she was set in stone, frozen in time.
Willa watched as her father pulled Aeryn over to the rocks in the center of the village, in the middle laid a stone which was glowing brightly, she didn't know what it was but everything about it screamed dangerous in her mind. Willa wanted to run over and destroy the thing, try and prevent everyone from the harm it was sure to bring but her mind couldn't seem to tell her body to move, everything felt overwhelming, she was scared, she felt betrayed but most of all she felt grief for losing someone she hadn't even known meant everything to her.
The moment that Aeryn has struck the man she had believed to be her father for her whole life was the moment that she felt the strength to move again. She ran to her brother as quickly as she could, blinking the tears that she hadn't noticed were there out of her eyes so she could get a good look at him. It was evident that the stone wasn't going to be able to be destroyed, at least not in the time they had before the light it was glowing with got to it's brightest and whatever evils it was able to enact were brought.
A look of goodbye was shared between the two siblings before Aeryn took off running into the woods, trying to get the stone as far from the village as he could before it went off. Willa knew she should have let him go and stayed where she was, but she couldn't stand the idea of him being alone when he died, even if it was to save everyone. She had taken off running after him without really thinking her actions through. She following him as they both ran as fast as they could. The brighter the light got the slower that Aeryn became until eventually he collapsed to the ground.
"Aeryn!!" she had shouted through the night before she had fallen to her knees by his side. Taking a hold of his hand she instantly felt dizziness overcame her and quickly her body became tired. Collapsing next to him her brother's face was the last thing she had seen before the darkness had taken over and her body fell limp.
Willa had woken a few hours later. Sitting up abruptly her eyes had fallen upon Aeryn laying unconscious on the ground. She had tried to wake him but no matter what she did his eyes wouldn't open. Willa knew that something was extremely wrong. Remembering a book she had read about mystical objects, she knew where she needed to go in order to get answers. It's author, a powerful necromancer who lived in a village not too far from where she was. She would go there and get the answers she needed.
It took several days of trekking before Willa had managed to bring her brother's sleeping body to the necromancer, whom she would come to know as Lucinda. During the trek, Willa had brought the small stone with her, much to her relief, it wasn't glowing any longer but she didn't trust it not to fall into the wrong hands and until she knew what it had done to her brother, she wasn't going to let anyone near it.
Lucinda had taken one look at the stone before her eyes had filled with recognition "The stone of El'Ar" she had spoken the words like Willa was supposed to know what it was. Lucinda had explained that the stone was a mystical dark object designed to take power from souls recently departed and infuse it into a single soul. It's purpose was to grant invincibility when it was used at it's most powerful.
The explanation of the stone's strength was followed by the stone's curse. Anyone who used the stone or was in contact with it when it was activated would receive the curse of El'Ar. The curse was harmless to most, as it simply prevented two souls with the same gifts from the stone from being within close proximity to one another. In this case however, as Willa had been in contact with her brother who had been holding the stone when it activated, it meant that the moment that Aeryn woke up, if she was within 100 miles of him, they would both die.
It took a few hours for the realization of what had happen to settle in Willa's mind, not only had she lost the man whom she believed to be her father and her real father, she had been hit with the realization that her mother had lied to her about who her father was her whole life and betrayed her trust and the only person she still trusted she could never talk to again, at least not face to face. The grief that came over the girl was crippling, she didn't understand what she had done to deserve so much misery and to lose every person she loved, she couldn't breath, she couldn't think, she felt like she would break into pieces on that very spot.
And then eventually, she felt the strength inside her slowly return. Her tears started to dry and the determination to live her life kicked in. Getting advice from Lucinda on how to keep the stone deactivated, Willa made the decision to take it with her. The stone would be the cause of her misery and due to the fact that it had not activated at full strength, she didn't even know what 'gift' it had given her. On that day Willa decided she would devote whatever life she had to ensuring the stone didn't ruin another's and find a way to destroy it if she could.
Lucinda couldn't tell Willa how long it would take for Aeryn to wake but she warned her that she needed to be long gone when he did. Standing at her unconscious brother's side she had pressed a kiss to his cheek "We will meet again, my protector" she made the promise out loud, even though he couldn't hear her before she headed to Lucinda's desk and penned a letter to him telling him not to blame himself for what happened and that she was proud of him for protecting so many people, she explained where she intended to go so that if he so wished, he could return the message to her, she told him that she would always miss and love him and wished him the best for his life.
Leaving her brother's recovery into the hands of the kind old Necromancer whom had showed her so much kindness, she had set off for the next chapter of her life. The thought of going home never crossed her mind, she didn't want to face her mother nor the sadness that home now reminded her of, she wanted a new chapter where she could start over. She feared it was the only way she was going to make it through the idea of a life without her brother.
Without another word, Willa had made her way to coast and then boarded a boat out of Greece and into Italy where she would begin the next part of her life. It was about a month later that she received her first letter in return from her brother, ensuring her that he was safe and that Lucinda had made good on her promise to care for him. He expressed his sadness for the situation they both had been placed in and asked her to send regular letters about her life so that he may feel as though he was there too.
Keeping the stone of El'Ar however had proved to be more of a fateful decision for Willa than she had realized. The stone was a thing of legends and many people had read about it and sought its power. This power lead to Willa being followed and ambushed by several greedy people throughout her years. Luckily Willa was prepared and she was smart, she knew how to keep on the move, she knew how to cover her tracks and when it came down to it, she knew how to fight if she had to. Whilst she dodged those who seeked to take the stone and it's power for their own, she travelled the world to seek out every text and legend which mentioned the stone.
With each text that she would find, she would read it in the hopes of finding out the stone's weakness and a way she could destroy it for good, secretly she hoped that destroying the stone could also lift the curse which had been placed on her. But each text came and each was destroyed without any further knowledge, slowly she worked on erasing the existence of the object from the world, for if people didn't know that it existed, they would not be able to seek it or recognize it.
Between her life mission to destroy all evidence of the stone of El'Ar and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, Willa exchanged letters with her brother throughout the centuries, they were a constant for her in a world which had become constant travelling and running for her. She was happy that her brother had made peace with the decision he had made and what it had meant for them. They had learned that the 'gift' the stone had left them with was the blessing of immortality, meaning that Willa no longer grew older.
Eventually, Willa reconnected contact with her mother, at first with letters and then later with visits back home to the see the woman who had given her life. While she had been angry that her mother had betrayed and lied to her, she was still her mother after all. When she eventually passed of old age, Willa had been there to see her off in a beautiful funeral ceremony. Willa wished that Aeryn could have been there to comfort her as she cried for her mother but he had been gracious enough to give her this moment, choosing to stay away instead.
After the funeral there was no more reason for Willa to remain in Greece. She was however tired of the constant running, of never being able to settle and enjoy her life, she was exhausted and she didn't know how much longer she could bear the life she was leading. She managed to bring up the strength to keep moving however, resuming her mission and continuing the dialogue between herself and her brother.
After a full 200 years of running and moving, she penned a letter to Aeryn asking for his help. After a near miss with a group of greedy phoenixes trying to get their hands on the stone she needed to take a break to allow herself to heal and to allow her to continue her fight as the stone's protector. Willa arranged a central trusted mutual friend to complete the handover of the stone from her to her brother and for the first time in 2 centuries, Willa had the freedom to do what she wanted with her life.
Willa had promised Aeryn that she would honor the freedom he had allowed her to have and she began to build lives of her own just like he had. Willa worked different jobs throughout her lives which she started, lived for 10 or so years and then moved to the next place to continue. In her time she worked as a teacher, a doctor, a painter and many other things. She read a lot and she thirsted constantly to learn new things. Willa however found herself most in being a silent protector for those who were in trouble, the humans even had a nickname for her as she went through the shadows saving those who were threatened and killing those who did unforgivable and disgusting things, she was the "Angel of the Shadows" to them and she was held a silent hero.
Tragedy had struck however when Aeryn's letters had come to an abrupt and unexpected stop. At first Willa had simply believed that it was a slow delivery but as the months passed and received nothing from her brother, she slowly came to the realization that his message was never going to come. Willa became overcome with worry for the fate of her brother and she feared the worst, she knew that he would write if he could and so the lack of communication spoke volumes. Afraid for what had happened, Willa had packed up her particular life a few years early to search for answers.
The last letter from her brother had spoken of a woman he had fallen in love with. Tracing the woman's roots she found her way to the port where her brother had met the love of his life. As she hadn't fallen ill the moment she had approached the port, she knew that her brother was no longer there. Meeting with Marie's father she would discover that the young woman's body had been found washed up on the shore. She was buried alone and hers was the only body that was found, Aeryn was nowhere to be found and they presumed he had died at sea.
The news was almost crippling for Willa who couldn't believe that she had lost the only person she had left, she was alone now, she had no one to share her troubles with, no one she could tell about her bad days and her good, no one. Though she knew they could never be received, Willa continued to write her letters to Aeryn, at first it took her weeks to pen them without bursting into tears and smudging all the writing but with time, it felt easier to talk to him, to tell him about the life she had been building that decade and what she hoped to do with the next. The letters became her only source of sanity, her only solace in a very lonely world.
Willa had become colder than she used to be, more used to be alone than she should have and her life felt like a routine, she had given up on the idea of being happy because she knew that happiness would be short lived because everyone she cared for eventually left her. Letting people in meant letting them hurt you.
It was a few years later that Willa had heard about Evermore City. The place promised a life where she didn't have to run because it was a supernatural haven, it was where people went when they wanted to start and continue their lives in peace and after her all her fighting and grief, peace sounded like something she wanted to buy into. Willa found herself in Evermore Colorado a month later, the place was beautiful and spacious, she couldn't believe the sheer amount of supernatural beings in the city and the way the laws protected everyone who lived within in.
Willa had found her new home, a place to pick up the pieces of a shattered and broken life and perhaps seek some sort of happiness that life had never let her see before. It was an optimistic look on the future but it was the one she had decided to go with. She was pretty sure that the only thing that could be worse than the past she had endured was death and it was easier said than done to kill a nephilim. Especially one with immortality.
Fast forward to 2015 and Willa was continuing to grow with the time. She had learned and adapted herself to modern life as the years came and went and she had found a life for herself in Evermore, she had joined the nephilim community and eventually formed a close friendship with both the Nephilim ambassadors who had been in power during her time there. She was with them the night that the comet had hit Evermore city and everything had changed for the nephilim species.
It was weird to get used to the idea of having wings like a real angel but it was a welcome change and one she didn't waste as she had always idolized the idea of flying and the freedom that came with it. What brought questions for her however, was not that the Nephilim were all immortal, what did that mean for her and the curse of El'Ar.

Imagine bearing the brunt of harsh words and teasing by your peers for something you can't control. Thirty-one-year-old Chen Wan Yi, who has Down syndrome, went through that as a child.
She said, "When I was in school, they [treated me] differently and sometimes bully, calling me vulgar words, pushed me … I never complained to the teacher. Sometimes, I felt sad."
Down syndrome is a condition that affects one in 800 live births around the world. It's not a disease—it's a genetic disorder that results in "physical growth delays, physical growth delays, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and characteristic facial features," according to Wikipedia.
Yet, it still remains a social stigma, mostly caused by a lack of understanding of the condition.
Despite the bullying she faced, Wan Yi doesn't view society in a negative light. She said, "I don't have problem with people. It doesn't affect me."
Wan Yi first knew of her Down syndrome condition after her parents told her. She said, "Mummy and Daddy told me I have Down syndrome. I had difficulty in my studies, but my spelling improved when I was in DSA."
Down Syndrome Association, DSA, is a non-profit Voluntary Welfare Organisation that extends help to people with Down Syndrome—as well as their families/caregiver—to ensure they can lead normal lives, will be celebrating World's Down Syndrome Day on March 16 with a campaign at Our Tampines Hub. Themed "Leave No One Behind", it aims to highlight the lack of understanding within the society about the potential of people with Down syndrome, as well as encourage people to embrace differences and support people with Down Syndrome for an inclusive society.
She also said DSA has helped her "learn my behaviour and to become a better person".
She added, "Because now in DSA, my friends are also same as me. I don't get bullied anymore. When I am around them, they treat me in a friendly manner and say nice things about me."
The truth is, people with Down syndrome are not that different from us—and they don't feel different either. She said, "Even in public people don't look at us, they just do their own thing and their own business."
She now works full-time in the Housekeeping Department at Rasa Sentosa, packing slippers for guests and giving out uniforms to the staff. "I also fold towels and kitchen cloths," she added. She got the job through DSA.
This wasn't her first job. She said, "Before this, I worked in Olive Branch Cafe in church. I served customers and interact with them. I also work at Rainbow Cove childcare centre for a little while. I helped the kids to learn alphabets and played with them at the playground. I was an assistant."
She also worked at a church, doing admin work and packing CDs, as well as at The Rotisserie at Raffles Place where she served food and drinks. She was paid for all these jobs.
But she reckons her favourite job is her current one at Rasa Sentosa because she feels like she's a part of the family. She said, "The staff friends treat me well. They … don't talk about anything negative to me."
She also revealed that she received a long service award last year after working there for five years, and got "a very good bonus this year".
She recalled an incident that made her tear up: "One year, when I was on holiday, the whole of housekeeping sang birthday song and sent me the video. I felt very touch by it. They said they miss me, I was tearing a bit. The tour people clapped for me."

Cross-dressers find safety, community at Fantasia Fair PROVINCETOWN � This is a week in Provincetown filled with a lot of laughs, a lot of learning and a lot of leg.
But for many, there have been huge social, practical and psychological hurdles to overcome in order to get here.
Lisa Mitchell and her husband had been married a little more than a year when she arrived home from work early one afternoon seven years ago and her world suddenly changed.
She opened the door and knew something was amiss.
"When she came in, I tried to jump into the next room and get changed," her husband said. "She was suspicious. She thought I was with another woman. She looked high and low and didn't find anyone.
"Eventually what I told her was, 'I'm the other woman.' "
Dressed in a dark blouse with a white scarf and some blush and lipstick, "Elise," as the Rhode Island man calls himself when cross-dressing, had his wife Lisa on his arm as the two strolled the streets of Provincetown Monday night.
"You think you really know someone," Lisa said, referring to the day when she discovered "Elise." "Now, sometimes I think I accept it more than Elise does."
This week, Provincetown is hosting Fantasia Fair, the longest running transgender event in North America. The event, which has drawn about 150 cross-dressers from all over the world, began Sunda runs through this Sunday. It includes seminars, workshops, entertainment and parties.
And, importantly, it includes men dressing as women - and, to some extent, women dressing as men - and feeling safe about it.
Many of the stories are the same.
"I've been dealing with this since I was 6 or 7," said Elise. "You try on your mom's clothes or your sister's clothes and it goes on from there. And you think you're the only person on the planet that does this."
Largely still scorned or laughed at with impunity, cross-dressers see themselves as possibly the country's most marginalized minority group.
Transgender has come to represent not only heterosexual males, but some gays, lesbians, transsexuals and people in the process of changing from one gender to another.
"We're not hiding anymore," said Pamela Geddes, a father, husband, and professional from Canada, dressed in a red wig, with a blouse and skirt. "We are claiming our rights."
Indeed, many Fantasia Fair participants have begun to actively lobby members of Congress on issues such as employment non-discrimination and inclusion in legislation involving hate crimes and marriage.
Oddly enough, as opposed to drag queens, many cross-dressers say they don't seek attention.
"We really just want to be able to blend in," said "Phyllis," a cross-dresser from the Cape. "The biggest compliment you could give a cross-dresser is to say 'No one noticed you.' " Hostess Dallas Denny waits for a contestant to pick a catogory during a game of Gender Jeopardy.
Reclaiming a history
Miqqi Gilbert, a professor of philosophy at York University in Toronto, is one of the few participants at Fantasia Fair who is "out" in all aspects of his life. He sometimes dresses as a woman when teaching.
He likens the transgender movement to that of the ga lesbian movement of a generation ago.
"When the gay rights movement began," Gilbert said, "one of the first things that had to be done was the re-acquisition of one's history. Just as the gay community has done that, we are in the process of doing that.
"If you don't have a history," he said, "you don't have an identity."
Indeed, cross-dressers played a role in the Stonewall riot which helped galvanize the gay rights movement in the late 1960s, fair participants noted.
Throughout history, cultures have had transgender people among them, Gilbert said, and have even placed them into positions of power.
Two examples, said David Prok, a college professor from Cleveland, and a speaker at Fantasia Fair, are witch doctors in Africa and shamans in North America.
Many of the participants in the fair are married with children. Most come from middle America and lead otherwise normal lives.
"I come here with my wife's approval, support and love," Pamela said.
But many, like Pamela and Elise, keep their cross-dressing to themselves and their spouses when back home. That requires leading dual lives for fear of losing their job, friends and family.
That makes Fantasia Fair, now in its 25th year, truly a relaxing getaway.
"We let it out and take it for a walk," said Gilbert.
Participants of the fair also come for one-on-one counseling. For some, the issues can be admittedly large and deep. Some, however, want help merely with things as simple as applying make-up and matching a wardrobe with a given occasion.
A different breed
Provincetown, of course, has its own share of men dressing as women. But the people that attend Fantasia Fair are decidedly a different breed from the drag queens that perform along Commercial Street.
"A drag queen dresses for fun and spoof," said Prok. "A cross dresser does it because it's an intimate part of their essential self for them to assume the mantle of womanhood."
The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung called it "anima."
"It's part of the subconscious that responds to the feminine part of every human being," said Ari Kane, founder of the Maine-based Outreach Institute for Gender Studies and a cross-dresser. "This is a matter of males dealing with a part of the psyche that never gets the light of day in this culture."
Most fair participants meet with others like them in their own local areas. Elise, with the help of his wife, managed to find the Tiffany Club, a cross-dresser group, near where they live.
Most transgender events, however, are confined to the closed spaces of hotels and homes.
"But basically, it's just a bigger closet," Elise said. "Provincetown is not a closet at all because basically you can be whoever you are here. You get snickers and the looks, but who cares? You're not a minority here."
High heels and long lines
Monday night at the Unitarian-Universalist Meetinghouse in Provincetown, the fair included Gender Jeopardy, modeled after the TV game show.
Men dressed their age, and the ages ranged from the late 20s to early 80s. From the outside, the event sounded more like an Elks Club meeting, with deep, guttural, male laughter - until further inspection. Inside the high heels were clicking on linoleum, the purses were dangling, and the line to the men's room was abnormally long and slow.
Some, like Elise, were with their wives.
"I don't deny it can be at times quite difficult," said Susan, a wife of a cross-dresser, also with her husband. Susan asked that her last name not be printed.
From New England, she and her husband "Barbara" have been married 20 years. He told her within two weeks of dating that he was a cross-dresser.
"I had three choices," she said. "I leave him I accept it and have nothing to do with it or I could take part in it and share this part of his life."
She's opted to share, and, in fact, has become an active Fantasia Fair organizer.
"I started to hear more and more stories about discrimination and hate crimes," Susan said, "and that really disturbed me, and I started to realize that it was far more important for me to support the rights of cross-dressers to express themselves and to be who they are than to ignore it all."
Out of the closet, with style
Cross-dressers find safety, community at Fantasia Fair PROVINCETOWN � This is a week in Provincetown filled with a lot of laughs, a lot of learning and a lot of leg.

Wild About Wildlife: Under new management
Capturing creatures in Curraghchase
THERE is a subtle change in the season, and I have noticed a slight closing in of the nights.
This is ample motivation to enjoy every minute of the summer and all the amazing wildlife it has to offer. An Taisce Living Limerick returned to Curraghchase Forest Park for a wildlife safari. The early Sunday morning start did not discourage people and over 60 enthusiastic mums, dads and kids turned up to discover nature.
The weather was beautiful and Geoff Hunt and myself were leading the walk. Geoff has published a fabulous book on nature walks in Limerick. It is now out of print but I have a treasured copy at home.
We started off by shaking a few branches of the beech tree. A large forest shield bug was our reward. The bodies of shield bugs resemble the large shields of medieval knights. Meadowsweet was in flower by the side of the path and its fragrance hung in the morning air.
Matt Kelleher who is a forester manages Curraghchase. Over the last few years he has been pioneering a new method of managing the extensive grasslands which has paid dividends for wildlife. Along the edge of the pond dragonflies, bees and butterflies find food and shelter in among the long grass and flowers.
He has left a new section this summer and it was full of wildflowers and especially orchids. Insects are thriving here and we caught ringlet and meadow brown butterflies. Also a delicate damselfly, spiders, solider beetle, bumblebees and leaf hoppers. This management is a real inspiration, and if you are in any doubt about leaving grass uncut pay a visit and the benefits will be revealed.
Next we found out about the creatures that live under the water. They are equally as diverse, in body shapes and lifestyles. The most dramatic creature was a massive great diving water beetle. I remember finding one years ago by the side of the road with a class and we at first we thought it was a cockroach. They fly on damp nights, and often crash land on the roofs of cars that they mistake for water.
Another amazing insect were the larva of dragonflies. These veracious predators spend up to two years under water and they feed on other insects, tadpoles, fish and even each other. Like a true alien they can shoot out part of their mouth called a mask and this seizes their hapless victims.
Kids and adult took turns with the nets and the trays were surrounded by eager families. Leech's, case caddis flies, whirly gig beetles and water boatmen or back swimmers all provided hours of entertainment.
Along the bordering reeds Geoff caught some dazzling damselflies. Common and azure blue, emerald and large red glistened like jewels, in the sunshine. Out on the water we saw a moorhen chick and the swans with their growing cygnets.
After a hectic morning we had a very refreshing tea, and food at the De Veres Café. Even here nature paid a visit and a painted lady butterfly, landed on the table. These are migrants all the way from Africa, and this is a good summer for them.
A final surprise was in the bathroom where the walls were covered in moths. They were attracted by the night-time light. I rescued a few moths and later identified them, as a riband waves and footman.
Upcoming events
An Taisce Living Limerick: Saturday, July 20 from 11am-1pm. Wildlife Safari Curraghchase Forest Park. Meet at the car park. Join us as we hunt for the insects of summer and discover the flowers and grasses that they feed on.

After just three months in the job as EM.TV & Merchandising's CFO Marius Schwarz (pictured) is exiting the company at the behest of CEO Werner Klatten and with the consent of the supervisory board.
As of November 27, the executive board will consist of only two members - Klatten, who will now also take over responsibilities for finance and controlling, and Rainer Huether, board member with responsibility for marketing, TV sales, production and merchandising.
"The slimming down of personnel in the board follows the concentration on the operational core of the company which, by the end of the year, will have fewer than 100 employees", Klatten declared in a statement. "2002 will be the decisive year for our reconstruction. We are entering the year under clear leadership and with precise targets".
Schwarz came to EM.TV in the middle of the year from the multiplex operator CinemaxX to take over from Ralf Rickmeyer who had in his turn been the successor as CFO for Florian Haffa.
German press reports suggested that Schwarz's departure had been prompted by differences of opinion between himself and Klatten on the future strategy for the company.

I just came across the iNaturalist.org website, where they encourage people to take pictures of Nature and share them with everyone, for the benefit of the scientific community and people in general. Since we live in Malaysia, and we have so much Nature around, I think there's a lot we can share with the world.
And for the fittest explorers, the Adventurers and Scientists for Conservations website asks explorers to work together with scientists, and go get research material for them. A good way to involve sports and exploration for the benefit of science.

Mining is a dangerous business! It's always good to hear of initiatives to help make this industry safer. Here is an article found at https://www.environment.co.za/mining/safer-mining-practices-reduce-hazardous-exposures-in-small-scale-mining-in-nigeria.html about one of these initiatives.
"Safer Mining Practices Reduce Hazardous Exposures in Small Scale Mining in Nigeria
A pilot program to reduce lead poisoning in Nigerian gold mining communities has brought extraordinary improvements to an area where hundreds of children had died from lead poisoning according to a study published today. The study authors concluded that a two-year effort to introduce safer mining practices was effective at preventing deaths and reducing lead poisoning in highly exposed villages.
"Our pilot project demonstrated that low-cost dust control measures were effective at reducing average airborne lead exposures by 95 percent," said Perry Gottesfeld, Executive Director of Occupational Knowledge International (OK International) whose organization partnered with Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in this effort.
The safer mining project took place in the Shakira community in Niger State where high levels of lead are naturally present in the gold ore. The primary objective was to reduce lead exposures among artisanal small-scale miners and minimize take home exposures.
"We worked cooperatively with miners to provide them with the information and tools to reduce their exposures to lead and silica dust. Together we showed that these efforts minimized contamination and helped save lives." Gottesfeld said.
The organization demonstrated the effectiveness of reducing airborne lead levels by working with miners to convert dry operations to wet methods. Water spray misting was proven to be highly effective while minimizing water consumption. In addition to significant reductions in airborne lead, the authors reported that these control measures reduced the smaller respirable silica dust by 80%.
Philip Aruna, Head of Mission in Nigeria for Doctors Without Borders said "OK International has exceeded expectations in bringing an entire community together to prevent severe lead poisoning and by demonstrating significant reductions in lead exposures among miners."
Gottesfeld noted that, "Following our extensive outreach and training, these miners were motivated to take measures to reduce hazardous lead exposures and invested their own time and money to implement these protective measures."
The authors of the Study "Reducing Lead and Silica Dust Exposures in Small-Scale Mining in Northern Nigeria" published in Annals of Work Exposures and Health noted that average lead exposures among ore processors before the implementation of safer practices were 19 times greater than the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible limit for lead. (available online at: https://doi.org/10.1093/annweh/wxy095)In Nigeria and in most other African countries, there are no occupational limits for exposure for lead or silica dust.
Silica dust causes silicosis, lung cancer and is a significant risk factor for tuberculosis (TB). Lead causes severe neurological deficits and death among children in these communities, but even at low exposure levels is responsible for 674,000 deaths each year primarily due to cardiovascular disease.
There are an estimated 40 million informal small-scale miners working in at least 70 countries around the world. Although some programs have attempted to reduce mercury exposures in these communities, this is the first such intervention to demonstrate reductions in lead and silica dust exposures. The authors of the published article note that in mining communities lead and silica hazards pose a far greater risk to human health than the use of mercury.
Dr. Adolphe Fotso, Medical Coordinator for Nigeria with Doctors Without Borders, and an author on the paper, said "That this effort was an extraordinary success in reducing these significant health risks and protecting children from lead poisoning."
In addition to introducing wet methods, OK International focused on training miners to implement simple measures including handwashing, showering, setting up separate eating areas, and changing out of work clothing before going home at the end of the day. The study estimated that the overall cost for introducing these measures in this community was approximately $5,000 USD."
Who is OK International?
"Occupational Knowledge International (OK International) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving public health through innovative strategies to reduce exposures to industrial pollutants. We seek to address inequities in environmental standards between developed and developing countries by working in partnership with industry, government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Millions of people around the world are exposed to hazardous materials including lead, mercury, silica and asbestos. Pollution from industrial operations contaminates the environment, causing millions of deaths and rampant disease throughout the world. But the burden of environmental disease is not evenly shared. Exposures to hazardous materials is growing in developing countries in contrast to the trend in the U.S. and Western Europe. Our goal is to bridge the gap between environmental standards in the developed and the developing world.
However, bringing attention to these problems is not enough. OK International also brings the technical resources to measure exposures, find solutions, and clean up the environment in order to protect public health."

Fugazi Solitaire
Features a big 7mm or 8mm or 9mm centre stone on a fine band. We can do a 4 or 6 claw version.
Choose from Moissanite, Black Sapphire, Black Diamond or Morganite.
Using the best moissanite on the market from Charles and Colvard we use the best 'fakes' (aka Forever One Moissanite) to create a ring which is a great price range for a ring that looks a million dollars.
The rings look the same from the top view but slightly different from the side view. The lifted style gives you the choice of wearing a straight band next to it with little to no gap between rings.
The standard cage has a lower set cage which means when you want to pair a stacker most people will choose a bent or snug stacker that will flow around the cage.
Choose out of a 1.5CT, 2CT or even 3CT equivalent to create a showstopper of a ring. Not for the faint at heart.
***Fugazi: adjective; Often used to describe man made diamonds in jewellery.
Moissanite is a fugazi diamond. The word "Fugazi" popped up in the film Donnie Brasco with Al Pacino. "Don da Jeweler" gets approached privately by a real mafioso, Lefty Ruggiero (Al Pacino) who wanted to sell a hot diamond ring. After a quick inspection, Brasco pronounced it "a fugazi" - a counterfeit***
1.5CT = 7mm, 2CT = 8mm, 3CT = 9mm

As we approach the Brazilian Formula One Grand Prix on November 11, we remember Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, one of the greatest racers in Formula One history.
The winner of an amazing 41 grand prix and three World Drivers' Championships (in 1988, 1990 and 1991), Senna was born in 1960 to a prominent family in São Paulo. Showing an early aptitude for racing, he entered his first go-kart competition at age 13. After moving to the U.K., he joined his first Formula One team in 1984.
That year, the Monaco Grand Prix put Senna on the map: He stayed steady in eighth place for most of the race, but barreled into second on one of the most dangerous turns of the course, sweeping through the slick streets of Monte Carlo to finish second behind future rival Alain Prost. It was only the sixth Formula One race for Senna, who would eventually be known as "the King of Monaco."
In 1990, he took the pole position at Jerez de la Frontera, breaking the circuit's record and marking his 50th pole position in Formula One. To this day, his six consecutive grand prix victories have never been surpassed.
"He would take the car beyond its design capabilities," ESPN commentator John Bisignano explained in the 2010 documentary Senna. "He would brake later, fly into these corners where the car was just over the edge, and somehow, he could dance a dance with that car to where it stayed on the track."
But Senna's career came to a tragic end on May 1, 1994 when his car smashed into a concrete retaining wall during the San Marino Grand Prix. The Brazilian government declared three days of national mourning and an estimated three million people filled the streets of São Paulo as his coffin was taken from the airport to the July 9 Palace, where he laid in state.
Nearly a quarter-century later, Ayrton Senna is still beloved as a Formula One legend—one possessed of an almost supernatural talent, an unparalleled urge to push the limits, and an unsurpassed skill at driving in wet weather. He forever changed the sport—altering the aesthetic, improving safety, and inspiring contemporary drivers.
Weeks before that fatal crash, Senna and his sister Viviane had discussed creating a foundation to help young people in Brazil. Six weeks after his death, she launched the Ayrton Senna Institute, an educational nonprofit that reaches more than two million students and 60,000 educators every year. In addition to supporting traditional educational initiatives, the institute offers computer coding classes and teaches leadership, communication and other "soft skills" students need to compete in the modern world.
To further honor his skill and spirit, TAG Heuer has designed a special-edition watch inspired by "Magic Senna," a TAG Ambassador dating back to 1991.
Limited to just 175 individually numbered pieces, this TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 Tourbillon comes on a matte black leather-and-rubber strap and a tachymeter inscribed with the name "Senna." With a 65-hour power reserve, it's powered by a certified chronometer movement and features a tourbillion visible at six o'clock.
"Ayrton Senna's unequaled talent and panache ensured he left a lasting mark on Formula One, more than any driver before or since."

OutOfMemoryException in .NET Framework 4.6.1 and higher, Insufficient jump stubs

If you use .NET Framework 4.6.1 or higher, you may be getting an out-of-memory exception. Microsoft has released the following Knowledge Base article to document the problem and provide a mitigation:
KB3152158 - Out-of-memory exception in a managed application that targets .NET Framework 4.6.1
There are two ways to mitigate this problem:
1. Add a registry entry (this is the method recommended by the Knowledge Base article)
Copy the following lines (everything between the dashes; do not include the dashes) into Notepad:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
Save the file to your Desktop as NGenReserveForJumpStubs.reg . To do this successfully, you will have to make sure you change the Save as type to All files (*.*) before entering NGenReserveForJumpStubs.reg as the file name.
Then, double-click the NGenReserveForJumpStubs.reg file on your Desktop, and answer in the affirmative until the keys and values have successfully been added to the Registry. Note: You need Administrative privileges to do this.
Now, restart your computer.
2. Create the system environment variable COMPLUS_NGenReserveForJumpStubs and set its value to 5.
Open the System Control Panel (WinKey+Pause)
Click Advanced System Settings (on the left-hand side)
Click Environment Variables...
Under System Variables, click New...
In Variable name enter: COMPLUS_NGenReserveForJumpStubs
In Variable value enter: 5
Click OK.
Now, restart your computer.
Incidentally, the fact that the Knowledge Base article recommends a registry entry to solve the problem tells me that .NET Framework 4.6.2, which was released in the last week of March 2016, also has this problem.

Workshop on
System Software Support for Big Data
(BigSys 2014)
Stuttgart, Germany
Big Data is one of the most important challenges for computer science research in the upcoming decade. Most research efforts so far concentrate on algorithms for analyzing and processing Big Data. The system software and infrastructure implications of Big Data processing are so far underrepresented. We intend to improve on this situation with our BigSys workshop. In this workshop, Big Data-related topics from all areas of system software, such as operating systems, middleware, and databases, are to be considered. Of special interest are the impact of high-performance architectures for Big Data, system-level methods to improve data processing performance, challenges in system software design, and architecting systems for Big Data in general. We would especially like to encourage contributions on topics covering multiple layers of the hardware/software stack.
Intended Audience
The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from all of these areas to discuss today's limitations, promising new concepts and possible new synergies in the domain of system software support for Big Data.
- Oct 30, 2014
- As a follow up to this workshop, authors and participants have the opportunity to publish their work in a "BigSys" special issue of the Open Journal for Big Data (OJBD).
- Sep 22, 2014
- BigSys will take place in Room 7.04 (Pfaffenwaldring 7). We are looking forward to meeting you!
- Sep 05, 2014
- Urgent: We are planning to have a relaxed dinner on Thursday evening in the cosy restaurant Stäffele. It would be great if all participants could join us! In order to make the final table reservation, we need to know whether you will come. Therefore, please send the organizers a short email to email@example.com as soon as possible. There is no need for formalities. An email subject "Restaurent: YES" (-> I will come to Stäffele) or "Restaurant: NO" (-> Sorry, I can't come) is fully sufficient.

FHA Home Loan Debt-To-Income Ratios – fhanewsblog.com – First-time home buyers looking at their FHA mortgage options hear a lot of about the debt-to-income ratio and how it affects the borrower's ability to get a home loan approved.

Sony yanks "The Interview": A profile in Hollywood courage
Editor's note: The following editorial originally appeared in the Wall Street Journal on December 18.
The story of the lonely whistleblower, the iconoclastic artist, the little guy standing up to the powers that be has always been a staple of Hollywood drama, from "High Noon" and "On the Waterfront" to "Serpico" and "The Insider." But that's just the movies. The real Hollywood is another story.
We were reminded of this on Wednesday, when Sony Pictures abruptly announced it would cancel the planned Christmas Day release of "The Interview," a screwball comedy in which actors Seth Rogen and James Franco play two journalists tasked by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong Un during an interview with the corpulent North Korean tyrant.
We haven't seen the film, but judging from the trailers it looked like a sequel of sorts to "Team America," the hilarious 2004 comedy taking aim at the late Kim Jong Il. Not surprisingly, the Kim regime was not amused: In June, a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman warned that "if the U.S. administration allows and defends the showing of the film, a merciless countermeasure will be taken."
They might not have been bluffing. Last month Sony Pictures was hit by a cyberattack that leaked mountains of internal corporate information, much of it sensitive or embarrassing. On Tuesday, hackers warned of terrorist attacks against movie chains showing the film. At least five major chains had decided not to show the film when Sony Picture cancelled the release.
All businesses need to take the safety of their customers seriously, and Sony can't release a film to movie chains that won't show it. Then again, an industry that is supposed to epitomize freedom of expression also needs to be prepared to take at least some risks in its defense, as all Americans have since the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Capitulating to the threats of North Korea's department of global propaganda—and the U.S. government now believes Pyongyang was behind the Sony attack—will not be remembered as a profile in Hollywood courage, and will set a precedent for further bullying of a notably weak-kneed industry.

Joel's note: Feel free to watch in beautiful short intervals. The entire "Full Vintage Documentary" is an hour long.
"Yellowstone National Park is located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872
"Yellowstone, widely held to be the first national park in the world, is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular features in the park. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
"Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. The region was bypassed during the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 19th century. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. The U.S. Army was commissioned to oversee the park just after its establishment. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year."
Wikipedia on Grand Prismatic Spring:
"The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world, after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake in Dominica. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin.
"Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration. Its colors match the rainbow dispersion of white light by an optical prism: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue."
