Frequently Asked Questions
What is Euncoin?
Euncoin is a new revolution in decentralized digital currency designed to help content creators and entrepreneurs. At the heart of the Euncoin concept is the desire to help people pursue their passion for creation by reducing or eliminating their reliance on large platform ads and investors.
It is achieved by using the Euncoin Vault to reward donors that contribute money to the creators directly. In return, Euncoin gets promoted for free by content creators, who often have vast numbers of followers.
What is a Euncoin Wallet?
Euncoin wallet is a software program which is securely stored in the cloud or on your computer or other devices where you have downloaded it. This wallet is primarily used for your transactions. Whenever you donate a certain amount of money to participating Internet Content Creators, you get coins which you can further donate or trade for any goods or with other cryptocurrency sites. These coins are stored in your Euncoin wallet. To send and receive money and completing transactions in Euncoin network, the Euncoin wallet is used.
Who is Involved in Euncoin?
Donors, Youtubers, Internet Content Creators, persons who want to share skills to earn coins, creators' partners (
What is the Blockchain?
A blockchain is a digitized, decentralized, public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. It allows the market participants to keep track of digital currency transactions without central recordkeeping. It solves the double spending problem without the need of a trusted authority or central server.
Why was Euncoin Created?
EunCoin was created to allow people to benefit from cryptocurrency while they pursue their passion and cultivate their creativity. Euncoin will allow creators to give something back to their donors for their contributions in the form of tradeable digital coins, which can be used as a currency. This will entice the viewers to donate more in exchange for coins. The more money that donors spend on funding content creators, the more coins they receive. In turn, the content creators get to increase their revenues directly and give them more time and money to do what they enjoy doing. An additional unique purpose behind Euncoin is to promote the use and sharing of information and creation of Internet content, which is now an integral part of our daily life.
Internet Content Creators
Internet content creators are people who love to share their knowledge and expertise, thoughts, or just some fun stuff with the community. The creators of channels on YouTube and other video sharing sites as well as art sharing platforms like DeviantArt and Behance are considered as Internet Content Creators.
Donors are those who support content creators and inspire them to keep the good work up by donating a certain amount of money directly to that content creator or YouTuber. Donors get a feedback by donating. They get coins for each dollar donated which they can use for further donations or
Skills for Coins
Skills for coins stand for earning coins through sharing skills. Interested participants can earn Euncoins by selecting a task that best suits their skill and accomplishing it within the prescribed time period. The amount of coins earned per task is standardized, so people who perform the tasks will be paid equally regardless of their proficiency or mastery on the subject as long as the objective has been met on time.
Euncoin wallets are used to hold the coins to be able to participate in transactions. Here, the coin flow is everything. People can donate, earn, and spend coins; everything is coin flow like cash flow in business. To keep track of these coins and keep the proof of transactions and balance, a wallet is used. The first thing to do to be a part of the Euncoin network is to register and download the wallet.
The Mission
The key concept of the Euncoin is to help, influence, and motivate Youtubers and other Internet Content Creators to nurture their talents and reach their dreams by allowing them to pursue their passion in this competing world without having to worry about their financial needs.
Usage and "spendability"
The usage and spendability of the Euncoin is world wide. The coins can be used for purchasing goods, donating, and exchanging with other cryptography networks that also use cryptocurrency. The ICO is planned for 2019 (Initial Coin Offerings).
Number of coins produced and their distribution
40 billion coins are produced. Out of it, 30 billion coins will initially be allocated to participating YouTubers. The coins will be awarded by the YouTubers to their donors in exchange for their monetary donations. 2% of the total number of coins (800 million coins) is reserved for the creators of the system. 10% of coins will be mined, so a total of 4 billion coins will be used for traditional mining. Between 5 to 5.2 billion coins are reserved for the Skills for Coin Program and the rest of the coins will be distributed to the partners who helped foster and inspired to build the Euncoin community).
Environment protection
Most of the coins in the Euncoin network are traded rather than mined in a traditional way. In this manner, traditional hash mining using multiple CPUs will not be as prevalent, which results in less energy consumption and less impact on the environment.
True World Wide availability
Euncoin transcends national boundaries and is available worldwide, and can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection.
What is Euncoin mining?
Mining is the process to add information to the Euncoin blockchain. In cryptocurrency, mining is the validation of all the transactions that have been made. Mining keeps the transactions secure and protects the users from reversed transactions. Instead of having a central authority to take over control and security, this part of Euncoin is on the miners. Miners have to put all the transactions into the Euncoin block to fill up the blockchain. For each block created, miners are rewarded accordingly. Euncoin mining is done using specialized hardware and a computer. The sole purpose is to secure the network through verifying all the transactions and new coins are paid as a reward. There is, however, a concern with regard to traditional mining: It utilizes a tremendous amount of energy, which affects the environment in the long run. Euncoin remains out of this problematic zone by keeping mining to a minimum in order to minimize the effect on the environment and save energy without sacrificing the security and integrity of the transactions. Miners are rewarded with Euncoin as it takes cost and effort to mine.
How does mining help secure Euncoin?
Mining secures the network through verifying transactions and adding them into the blockchain. Mining checks out reversed transactions, so that it cannot be placed, as mining is very competitive to complete a blockchain with all certain transactions. It does not let any individual party get the power to block certain transactions and create their own blockchain. Mining protects the neutrality and keeps the network secure. Network security is ensured by verifying and evaluating all the transactions and adding them into each block and making a blockchain, all the procurements are done in order to prevent manipulation and reversed transactions along with false blockchains.
Why do I have to wait for transaction confirmation?
You have to wait for confirmation so that no false transactions can be introduced. Payment in Euncoin is almost instant; however, it takes a while to confirm your transaction by including it in a block. Confirmation means there is a consensus on the network that the coins you have received have not been sent to anyone else and not lost and they are considered as your property. After including the transaction in a single block, it will continue to include in every block which decreases the risk of a reversed transaction. Each confirmation takes a couple of seconds to 90 minutes. It depends on you at what point you think that there is enough confirmation on transactions, but six (6) confirmations are generally considered as safe. Thus, to resist reversed transaction and false transactions, you have to wait for the confirmation.
How much will the transaction fee be?
At present, there is no transaction fee for the Euncoin Network. This is an advantage over other digital currencies. In other cryptocurrencies, it takes an amount to complete a transaction. A free transaction takes a long period. In Euncoin, every transaction that you make is totally free. There is a possibility of having a transaction fee in the future, albeit it would only happen if it were to benefit Internet Content Creators directly.
What if I receive a Euncoin when my computer is powered off?
It doesn't matter whether your computer is powered off or not. The Euncoin you receive will be added to your wallet and it is totally irrelevant to your computer's current status. All it takes to complete transactions is your wallet. Mining actually keeps the computer open and, as soon as you receive the coin, mining will automatically generate the coin into your wallet. Coin transactions are generally unaffected regardless if either your device is turned off or on.
What does "synchronizing" mean and why does it take so long?
Synchronization is a process to download and verify all the previous Euncoin transactions on the network. There are several reasons that synchronization takes time: It takes time to make new transactions as it requires all the previous transactions to verify. – The mathematical formula takes time to go through security and get into the ledger. – The sheer size of the blockchain also determines the time of synchronization. The longer the blockchain is, the more blocks it has. So, to verify transactions in every block, it will take some time. With a minimally sized blockchain, synchronization takes a little time. – Verifying each block and each transactions in the block takes a while. – It sometimes depends on your bandwidth. With fully utilized bandwidth it will take less time to be synchronized. Full node clients like Euncoin core is required a comparatively lengthy synchronization but other lightweight clients don't require a lengthy process but a shot time. Therefore, this problem is not for all the clients and users. Euncoin is a bit faster in this scene. Unlike in other networks, Euncoin has the minimal size of the blockchain and less block than the others. So, synchronization in Euncoim will take less time than the other networks.
How can I widthraw money from Euncoin
There are two ways to withdraw your Euncoin or use them- A credit card will be made for the donors which will be sent to them physically. It might take a while if no distributions are at your local area. Once you have your credit card, it can be used instantly to convert money into coins and coins into US dollar. The coins can also be traded and exchanged with other digital currencies.
How long does it take to withdraw money from Euncoin?
Why do Euncoins have value
Euncoin has value as we put a value on it. Euncoin is useful and can be used as a form of money. Euncoin has Durability, Portability, Scarcity, Divisibility, Recognizability, Liquidity etc. which are also the characteristics of money based on the properties of mathematics. The reason for not relying on physical properties like gold and silver or trust in central authorities like fiat currencies is their vulnerability and volatility. Based on mathematics, it's backed with it. Including attributes, the thing which is required for a form of money to hold value is trust and its adoption. In the case of Euncoin, this value can be measured by its growing number of users, merchants, and startups. Like the other currencies, Euncoin's value comes up directly from the person willing to accept it as payment.
Is Euncoin a Ponzi Scheme
Ponzi schemes are designed to collapse at the expense of the last investors when there are no new participants. A Ponzi is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to its investors from their own money, or the money paid by subsequent investors, instead of from profit earn by the individuals running the business. Euncoin is a free software project which actually has no central authority who might have the control over it. As a result, nobody can make fraudulent representations about investment returns. So, like the other major currencies, it has no guaranteed purchasing power. The exchange rate floats freely. That is why there is volatility. Because of this volatility, people make money or lose money unpredictably. This sets Euncoins apart from the traditional fiat currencies.
Doesn't Euncoin unfairly benefit early adopters?
Yes, like other cryptocurrencies, Euncoin benefits its early adopters. Currently, each Euncoin attributes to 1 penny and in the near future when people will start using it more widely, a simple Euncoin will stand for 1 dollar or more than that, then the early adopters will get some beneficiary as the risk is bigger for them. Investing in a new and unproven technology and trusting on its security is harder for people. A lot of early adopters can't make again with the coins as they run out of patience and sell them before it becomes valuable or bought a tiny amount of coins and don't get a profit. There is no ensuring that the price of Euncoin will increase or decrease by a specific margin. This is like investing on an early startup that might result in gaining through its usefulness and popularity or end up in losing. The vision is to make people involved in this community pretty faster. Early users are taking a risk by investing in a new project. They are putting their trust and, with the help of the community that they are supporting, more people will be aware of the uses of the coin and this will gain value over time.
Won't the finite amount of Euncoins be a limitation?
There will be a total of forty billion coins created. Thirty billion coins are to be distributed, which is a finite number. Thus, there is a limitation of the finite number in one sense but, in the other, the price of the coin will increase, which is an advantage. The total amount of coin created for the Euncoin network is bigger than any other network, so, the limitation for the finite amount is fewer than other networks. When all the coins have been distributed, , there will not be any coin left to give to the donors. When this time has come to pass,, there is a plan by which users can opt to spend their coins directly as an alternate form of fiat currency.
Won't Euncoin fall into a deflationary spiral?
A deflationary spiral is an event wherein the price falls or is expected to fall, and users move their assets to future purchases in order to benefit themselves from the deflation. At the same time, merchants have to lower the price as well in order to stimulate demand. At this point, problems get worse and it leads to an economic disaster which is known as a deflationary spiral. There are some reasons why Euncoin stands avoiding this situation. – Euncoin is designed to increase in value. Euncoin's accessibility will be worldwide so that people all over the world can use it. As the accessibility increases, more people will get and use the coin, which leads to stability. When the community is stabilized, there no reasons that it falls into a deflationary spiral. Besides, it happens when a huge amount of coins are lost or destroyed which only happens by losing the wallet. At this point, Euncoin wallets are hard to be lost. There is a password recovery system which protects wallets from being lost. Finally, when the coins have accessibility worldwide, having no blocking acquiring stability along with security, there are no chances or reasons that they would fall into a deflationary spiral.
Isn't speculation and volatility a problem for Euncoin?
Speculation means varying the price very fast with no stability which is a problem, and users like to avoid the risky situations. Euncoin is designed to increase in value along with stability. When the value of the coin is increased, donors will get fewer coins for each dollar they donate which will bring stability protecting users beneficiary. It doesn't change in value unexpectedly rapid. It does increase in value but with stability. Its nature also as a cryptocurrency guarantees that there will be some ups and downs with the coin's value. To remove this situation, a lot of users have to use it and, with worldwide easy accessibility, it's possible to bring the coin to a stabilized point where it can fully avoid speculation, unlike other currencies. To make a big economic zone and instant access to business takes time and that is what the vision is. With increasing facilities and the coin's spending ability, users chose to use the Euncoin and that is how the speculation and volatility problem is avoided.
What if someone bought up all the existing Euncoins?
Well, this is actually impossible. If anyone has to buy all the coins he has to invest forty billion dollars. Investing such amount of money on a new cryptocurrency is impossible for someone and no one surely wills to take the huge risks. Because when somebody buys all the coins, the coins will crash. The vision of cryptocurrency is to increase and decrease the value of the coin by trading, using and spending them. Buying them all will stop these process, so, no chance to make a profit from the coin or, if anyone tries to buy all the coins by manipulating, it will result in no place to sell them which is loose. So, no one intends to take the huge risk on a new crypto currency and that's why it is impossible for anyone to buy all the Euncoin.
What if someone creates a better digital currency?
If anyone creates a better digital currency then people will definitely invest in them. However, it is possible to make a certain modification to overcome and make Euncoin as useful as them. To compete with other cryptocurrency existingin the market, a lot of modifications and upgrades have been done and, in the future, it will continue to provide the same facility that another digital currency gives along with some extra facilities.
Do Euncoin have a referral program?
To be honest, there is no planning of referral program currently. But in the future, there might be a referral program but it will depend on two conditions – First of all, when the value of the coin increases, there will be a referral program. And secondly, if there are not enough users which including the YouTubers and donors, then there will be a referral program to increase users. But as time elapses, cryptocurrency increases in value, so this guess can be made that yes, in the future there will be a referral program.
How much can I earn without investments?
Earning Euncoin is dependent on whether you are a donor, a YouTuber, or content creator. If you are a donor, then you can't earn without investment. Either you have to buy the coin or donate to a participating YouTuber to get the coin. But in case of YouTubers and content creators, money can be earned with zero investment. In case of a YouTuber, depending on the subscribers, they will get coins in the beginning and they will continue earning without investment as they create quality content and get donated by others. So, if you are a donor, you have to earn with investment. On the contrary, if you are a YouTuber, you earn without investment. There is a little share for persons with skills to help in the Euncoin network. There will be some jobs to accomplish the task and they will get coins accordingly.
Who controls the Euncoin network?
Actually, no one owns the Euncoin network but, like other Cryptocurrency networks, there will be some manual verification. To verify donations and identify fake profiles, there will be some manual verification so that YouTubers can't generate a fake subscriber to deceive the Euncoin network. The minute all the 40 billion coins are distributed, the community becomes fully decentralized.
Is Euncoin really used by people?
Yes. There are reasons why people use it. As donors donate, they get coins in return. You will get the benefits of the coin like other cryptocurrency network but unlike the other cryptocurrency, the coin is spendable, which means you can spend the coin to buy any product you like. Once the designated number of coins run out, the donors can spend the coins they have to buy goods. There is a password recovery system for the Euncoin network which other cryptocurrency networks don't allow. Basically, it's an advantage. So, that's the reason working behind using Euncoin.
How difficult is it to make a Euncoin payment?
The Euncoin payment method is super easy. The payment method has been added considering how easy it can be for the donors. The donor will get a credit card from the Euncoin and he has to merge it with his debit card. According to your location, it takes time to send the card. In USA and nearby you will receive the card quite soon but outside the region, it might take a while to receive the card. The credit card will be a reloadable card. You can put the money on the card and buy any product from local stores and amount will be deducted converting them into local currency. In case of buying coins, you use the same card to buy coins and convert coins to local currency so that you can be able to buy anything. The card will be spendable and can be used for any other online payment. Facts which satisfies the users are that Euncoin accepts international payments, no charge in case of withdrawing money, and no risk of exchange rate volatility; you receive the exact amount you have requested for. Like other cryptocurrency payment methods existing in the market, it has a little disadvantage. The issue is, if you lose your card you lose your coin on the card. But except this single issue, Euncoin payment is quite easy and standard with the market.
What are the disadvantages of Euncoin?
Basically, there are no real disadvantages of Euncoin. It's based on the LiteCoin with a lot of modifications and upgrades so that the disadvantages of other cryptocurrency networks can be avoided to make Euncoin universal that's what expected of new things, innovations. But there is a little disadvantage, you might think. Before all the coins get distributed, Euncoin team will have control over all the coins. This might sound suspicious. As 30 billion coins are under their control, it might look like a scam. What if the coins are not distributed or violating conditions if they keep a couple of billion coins extra for them. What happens then? Actually, if it happens, it will be an escrow. There are some legal obligations for restricting the scam, so basically there is no chance of this happening. As the time progresses and all the coins are distributed, this disadvantage will be pretty much nonexistent.
Why do people trust Euncoin?
People trust Euncoin as there is no reason to suspect it. Here are the reasons why people trust Euncoin: – First of all, you get the coin free. You may have already tried donating to Youtubers, but, using Euncoin, you get coins freely as a token from Eucoin team as long as you donate. – Secondly, the white paper will be the answer. It's going to reflect what the team is up to with the coins. – Next, the security is extremely well coded. The code is available online and i's an open source and available on GitHub. The goal is to make everything available and accessible to everyone and people can contact the Euncoin team if they have any issue. – Finally, there is no possibility of a scam as there are legal obligations set. – If you are a Youtuber or a content creator, you have to sign up and download your wallet. Tell people that you are on Euncoin and that if they donate to support the channel they will receive Euncoins in exchange.
Is Euncoin fully virtual and immaterial?
Euncoin is a cryptocurrency and it's actually an online financial network based on the LiteCoin with certain modifications. Euncoin can be termed as virtual but it can't be termed as immaterial. The coin is as virtual as credit card or other banking system people use. It can be used for virtual or online payments along with this, it's possible to buy any product from any local stores with the Euncoin just like the physical or material currency. It can be exchanged in physical forms like the Casascius coins. Euncoin transactions are done through the Euncoin wallet which is a virtual wallet. In order to donate, send or withdraw money, the wallet is used. Euncoin can be used for other online banking and online payments. So, basically, Euncoin is fully virtual. Now, when it comes to the term immaterial, Euncoin is not immaterial. Any kind of material stuff can be bought with the currency (Euncoin), coins are spendable, tradeable. But since the inception of barter system of exchange, it's hard for the user to accept Euncoin as the material currency. But basically it can be used instead of physical currency in certain cases and as days pass by, its availability increases.
What happens when Euncoins are lost?
If you lose your Euncoin wallet, you lose everything. This is what it is strictly for other cryptocurrency networks, and this is a problem a lot of people face in this community. Just to get rid of this, a password recovery system is added. Thus, when your Euncoins are lost, you can recover them with your email address without considering any security issue that might worry you. If you lose your coins, there is a possibility perhaps someone is stealing your coins using an email address. There is a tiny possibility to facilitate hackers if they have the access to your email but it's no more than if it was a bank account or anything like that. So, password recovery is an extra layer of security provided for facilitating the users. So, when your Euncoins are lost, there is nothing to be worried. You can recover it and it's better to check whether your email is used by others or not for your own personal safety.
Can Euncoin scale to become a major payment network?
Yes, it can be sure. In order to be a major payment network, it has to be stabilized. What does stabilizing mean? Let's see an example. Bitcoin's price changes very rapidly and that's why it's not stabilized. You want to go on a vacation and reserve a resort for your family for a week for 3000 US dollar. You want to pay them with Bitcoin. By that time, each Bitcoin is worth 3 US dollars. So, you will have to pay 1000 coins. But at the time of your vacation, the price of a Bitcoin might increase much more than 3 dollars; perhaps it is worth 20 US dollars at that time. What will you do then? It will take 7 times more money if you want to continue the vacation. You will have to cancel the reservation and buy something else with the coins. This is a great problem people are facing using unstabilized cryptocurrency. So, because of not being stabilized, it can't be a major payment network as the price of the coin rapidly fluctuates. In the case of Euncoin, it can be much more stabilized as time passes by. It has all those things that take to be a major payment network. So, when the coin is stabilized, there are possibilities that Euncoin can be a major payment network.
Where can I find my Euncoin address?
You can find your Euncoin address as soon as you register your wallet.
Can Euncoin be regulated?
Any cryptocurrency can be regulated now in a similar way to any other instrument. Euncoin can be utilized for a wide range of purposes, some of which can be viewed as authentic or not according to jurisdiction's laws. In such manner, Euncoin is the same then some other instrument or asset and can be subjected to various controls in every nation. Coin became unusable in North Korea due to governments prohibition. The Chinese government is trying to restrain its people from being involved with the coin. There are so many ways for a coin to be regulated. Euncoin cannot be regulated in the sense that it's decentralized, so there's no real way to be able to regulate the coin. However different countries can make it legal or tax it heavily to a degree where it's unusable. Euncoin aims to create such a secure and unique platform that each and everyone can have a pass through in spite of having so many legislations, rules, or scrutiny. Euncoin's peer-to-peer transaction system permits individuals to make payments or transactions anywhere in the world. When exchanging money internationally, Euncoin does not need to adjust the value. For these characteristics, Euncoin is operated as a global currency and also considered as more secure than the usual fiat currency. Euncoin is designed to be clean and transparent, and solid code has been ensured to make it more secure. As a result, people from all over the world can enjoy verified transactions every time. Euncoin's limited cap, as well as its mining procedure, shield it against hyperinflation. It likewise enables the money to regulate itself but disables the possibilities of being banned by jurisdiction's laws.
What about Euncoin and taxes?
The Euncoin tax is dependent on your country whether the government thinks of taxing it or not. The taxation fully depends on the country you live in and it varies from country to country. Taxation for cryptocurrency isn't the same around the world. There are some countries who don't allow a tax on the cryptocurrency and there are some who allow a tax on it. Germany considers it as private money and under the rule 23 EStG, it has some tax-free beneficiary. According to this, a capital gain of less than 600 EURO is tax-free and if anyone sells their coins after a year or more then they won't be taxed. Like Germany, Denmark, Singapore, Belarus, Slovenia has an official tax free facility under different circumstances. But there are some countries which unofficially made the currency tax free. Hong Kong, New Zealand, Switzerland, Barbados, Malaysia, Mauritius don't get any tax from the cryptocurrency so unofficially this currency is tax-free in these countries. Except for these countries, other countries allow taxation on it. So, if you live in any of these countries, then enjoy your capital independency but if you are out of here, then you would want to be here.
Is Euncoin a bubble?
A bubble is an artificial overvaluation which often leads towards a sudden downward correction. The choices based on individual personnel action by hundreds of thousands of market participants all around the world will be the reason for Euncoin's price to fluctuate as the market seeks price discovery. Even if we consider that a fast rise of price is a bubble, even in this scenario, Euncoin is not a bubble, given that there are no possibilities for Euncoin to make artificial overvaluation which leads towards it.

Kimora, on the other hand, is the type of stage mom that you might expect from the supermodel who was once Tyra Banks's roommate—and she knows it might not be easy for her daughter.
"I like to go back and look at my mom's portfolio or old clips of her on the runway.
Modeling was different back then, clearly—but I still pick up some tips," Ming said.
It's important to remember where you came from to know where you're going.
I look at her and that's where I'm from and then she looks at me and sees in some ways that's where she's going," said Kimora.
And the best kind of friends deserve the best kind of gifts.
So why not get lit and We've all probably jokingly said at one point or another, "Why can't I just order Christmas gifts on my phone the way I order food?
The rarity of feeling at home at a fashion show isn't lost on Ming.
"I grew up on the runway, walking with my mom and sister at the end of every Baby Phat show during fashion week in New York," she said.
According to a witness at the Waldorf Astoria, the two lovebirds were kissing at the valet after dinner before leaving in separate cars.
We're told they've actually been out a few times, just on the down low, including a trip for a Cryogenic session.
Added Kimora, "She's the first born so she thinks that means she's the only child." But, looking at the two of them together, it's clear that their bond is more than skin deep.

Londonist asks that most pressing of daily concerns: where to go on your lunch break.
A recent invitation to check out swish and newish Spice Market located at the even swisher W Hotel presented an opportunity to ask our hosts "What's for lunch?" The answer: "a new Express Lunch menu."
Spice Market's lunch items usually hover around the £10-13 price market, so their two courses for £16 or three for £18 express menu is a relative bargain. We tried salmon sashimi with warm crunchy rice, chipotle emulsion and spring onion starter followed by the grilled yellowfin tuna burger with shiso and citrus pickles. A few scoops of especially creamy coconut ice cream were selected for dessert. It was filling and satisfying to be sure but nothing really bowled us over with respect to spice and season. However, we were impressed by a passion chilli "house made" soda (£5) to wash it all down — a tart, fiery and far from ordinary soft drink.
Prices seem to reflect quality of ingredients, the restaurant's anchorage to its upscale hotel and commendably attentive service — including warm hand towels presented before dining and friendly interest in what we thought of our meal. The dining and bar area are dimly lit, lounge-y and lovely and would perhaps be more appreciated over an evening cocktail and dinner. Still, a steady flow of customers coming for lunch suggests Spice Market might be onto something with its "South East Asian-inspired lunch menu" in a swank setting.
Spice Market is located at the W London Hotel, 10 Wardour Street, W1D 6QF.

Special thought for the day
Piecing it together, bit by bit.
Ok, so as you can tell I purchased myself a bike. Am I scared about riding it for the first time since I was like 12? "Damn right I am". Why I here you ask, well the potential for falling off was quite high. Needing the assistance of the rescue and recovery crew to recover me from the wreckage after I had come to a complete stop was even higher still. I hate not being in control and the thought of surrendering my whole being to this metal object with wheels was a touch scary. Don't get me wrong,I absolutely love my bike. It's black and slick looking, and has great racing wheels and I even have a helmut to match. Gotta look good even though you have no clue what your doing, Oh and it has gears - lots of them.
The guy at the bike shop said to me as I was leaving with my beautiful black bike, "increase your ride time slowly and try to ride atleast 3 times a week so your legs adjust". Ok, sounds easy enough. Hold that thought while I compose myself and stop laughing. EASY, not quite.
My first ride was merely a 5km flat surfaced ride for all bar two tiny bridges. Looked easy, I ran this in the fun run. The bike guy said to keep the left gear on 2 and the right gear on a 4 or 5. Which is what I did. I was a bit wobbly almost like watching a newborn giraffe trying to stand. I do think it would have been funny to watch, however I was so tense up there I don't think I really enjoyed that first ride.
Things to take note of for the next ride were:
- Relax hand grip, white knuckle grasp is not favourable for circulation in fingers.
- Relax shoulders and neck, very important for turning and seeing where you are going.
- Legs that are heavy like concrete yet wobble like jelly post cycle are the norm.
- Feeling like you have been on a horse ride for the last week post cycle is also the norm.
How did I used to ride my bike for hours on end as a child? I don't remember things hurting that bad, least of all my bottom. It felt battered and bruised and as a result of the pain it altered the way I walked. I thought I looked like a cowboy post rodeo ride....lol
So with my ego about as bruised as my behind, I made my way home. Two to three times a week, thats what the guy said. Stay focused!!!

Love the open water
The "Have a go swim" on the 28th of November 2009 was set to be another memorable day. It was about 40 degrees celsius with quite strong winds that came in waves over the course of the day. I was loving the idea that soon I would be in the water. There is no better place to be when the earth is at its scorching best.
Once again I had my own personal cheer squad (Stephen, kids and mum)there for support. I was going to have to start paying them shortly for their time and efforts...lol. What would I do without them. When I doubt myself or am just feeling the nerves of an event their words of encouragement spur me on like no other.I don't know why I get so nervous, I have just always been that way. My fiercest competitor in the water has always been me. I was never happy with anything less than my best. And that was probably true for other aspects in my life. Sometimes that was a good trait but other times it left me deflated because I never felt I could live up to the standards that I had set for myself.
In the water though it was a different story. I knew I could just always squeeze out hard work cause it felt so natural. I knew I could do this 500m with my eyes shut. The murkiness of the water meant that even with goggles on it felt like my eyes were shut....literally. I couldnt wait. I wanted to see how I would go in open water. My time in a pool for the 500m distance was 8min 15 sec. Following a black line makes life so much easier in comparison to murkiness and close to zero visibility. Oh well, life is a challenge and I was going to prove to myself that I could do this.
As the starters gun went off I just thought to myself, stick to the guy on your left hand side. Keep him within view and he will set the pace to follow. What I didn't bank on was that I felt great in the water and taking the lead felt good too.He did push me all the way though. The choppiness of the water did not bother me one bit, it felt quite natural actually and I quite enjoyed not having to stop and do a tumbleturn every 50m. But you do get fatigued alot quicker too.
I started to feel my lack of stamina with about 100m to go and even though I was slightly lifting my head to visualise the finishing line I was going all over the place and that was sapping the energy right out of me. Needless to say, when I crossed the line first i was extremely excited but very tired. I finished with a time of 8min 17 secs. Not bad for no black line and murky, unchlorinated water. WooHoo. Bring on the 1km for my next challenge.
And bring on a Triathlon. I want to do a triathlon. This is my future goal and I will do it.

What's next?
The exhilaration and astonishment from the past fortnight's events had only just begun to subside and I was already looking for something else to quench my desire to compete. Not because I wanted to try and win anything else, but rather I just wanted to feel those emotions attached to accomplishing something you thought you could never do.
Friends of mine at bootcamp were going to compete in a 5km Fun Run at the Regatta Centre. I wanted so badly to do it but I had not run that sort of distance since I had competed in the 14km City to Surf as a teenager. But what the heck. I never thought I could lose 20kgs and I did, this was just another thing I thought I couldnt do and I was going to prove myself wrong.
My twin son Kurtis also wanted to do the run with me. I think he had felt a sense of pride watching me overcome obstacles and wanted to do the same. I was so proud of him. We started together but within a kilometre I had to tell him to run like the wind. He was chomping at the bit to get going but Im sure he felt an obligation to stay with me. I was happy for him to enjoy his run and see how he would go.
I was struggling. Every fibre of my being wanted to stop and just turn around and go back after 1.5km. My lungs were burning and every stride I took felt like I had those 16kgs (weight to date lost) back on my shoulders. One of my friends Kim stayed with me for a while and kept giving me motivation to continue. I honestly thought I was able to motivate myself but it was quite clear that when things got a bit unfamiliar and tough my brain would try to revert back to its original way of thinking. Was I going to let it, NO WAY.
I decided to walk for a bit. This was the best decision I had ever made. Not only did it give my legs and lungs a much needed reprieve, but I was also able to focus on the fact that I now only had about 2.5kms left. I could do this. So up went the tempo from a walk to a slow run and I just stayed focused on my breathing. In, Out, In, Out. And with every step, I was a little closer to the finishing line. So much so I caught up with Kurtis who was trying to recover from a stitch.
After a couple of minutes walking we picked up our pace and caught up with Kim who had slowed down her pace to wait for me. The remainder of the run went by quite painfully I must admit. Even though my pace had not slowed any further, my calves felt as though every pint of blood in my body had settled into them and they felt heavy. Very heavy!
Kurtis once again took off and finished the race with a good sprint to the finish, and Kim and I gave it all we had right towards the end. I was so happy I finished it. I don't know my exact time but I think it was 31 minutes something. It doesnt matter really, I finished and that was all there was to it. I could tick off another accomplishment. I was on a roll.
How cool did I feel? About as cool as a cucumber. I didnt want this year to end. This feeling far outweighed all the hard training sessions and the times I doubted myself.
Everytime my husband Stephen holds my silver medal, all he says is "This is the closest I am going to get to a silver medal". But he has already won a gold medal, its the love I hold for him in my heart.

World Masters Games were arguably the
most exciting yet, with over 28,000 people
competing across Sydney last week.
With baseball, canoeing, kayaking and
touch football all held in the Penrith area,
local residents got their fair share of the
Local touch football team, the Penrith
Over 50s, scored silver in the Games, and
player Charlie Chrisostomos said the whole
team was pleased with the fi nal result.
"We made the fi nals so that was a good
effort for us," he said.
"This was our fi rst time competing in
the Games and because it was being played
locally, that made it very easy for us so we
were pretty happy with how we went."
Locals who competed outside of the area
include Luddenham competitor, Barbara
Hughes, who scored a silver medal in the
50-metre backstroke for swimming.
"It was the most exhilarating experience
to be involved in the event, you just feel on
top of the world and to get a silver medal

was just the icing on the cake for me," the
35-year-old said.
Other successes included a local hockey
team achieving gold and a Penrith netball
team achieving bronze.
"We had absolutely no idea that we
would do any good and thought we would
get smashed in all the games," said netballer
Carolyn Morley. "But with determination
and team building, we surprised ourselves."
The Games were marred, however, by
the unexpected death of an international
canoeist, aged in his 40s, who suffered from
a heart attack on the Nepean River during
the 21km canoe marathon last Wednesday.

staff were saddened by the man's death, but
all necessary precautions and actions were

I did it.
My day began at about 0500hrs as my nerves were just eating me alive. I had hardly slept a wink as thoughts of false starts, coming last and making a total fool of myself flooded my every thought. Eating breakfast was the farthest thing from my mind yet I knew I had to stomach atleast two WeetBix in order to stop the waves of nausea becoming all too consuming.
I had my bags packed the night before but that didn't stop me from checking it for the one millionth time. Goggles, check. Cap, check. Swimmers, check. Courage - oh bugger, where is it? I know I had packed it too. Maybe I had put it somewhere for safe keeping and when the time was right I would find it.
I travelled to the pool on my own that morning, feeling that I needed to be at one with my thoughts. I couldn't bear the thought of trying to figure out what I needed to do with my children when I had enough trouble trying to keep my own thoughts straight. Luckily, I have the most understanding husband and he knew how important this was for me.
Arrival at the pool was about 4 hrs before my race, but I didn't care. I was able to relax and feel totally inspired but all those competitors who were still swimming and competing at the tender age of 100+. What was I afraid of? These competitors motivation and drive to continue being the best they could be made my search for "courage" come to an end. I had found it. What was I going to lose? Nothing, when I had already gained so much. I got my life back, competing here was just the icing on the cake.
Barry turned up not long after me and we spent some good quality time just chit chatting about things. About how far I had come, all the things I had accomplished and how proud he was of me. That meant so much. He too had gone on this journey with me and I guess he was feeling the nerves too. This swim was going to be a testament of not only my strength and determination but also his patience and willingness to get me to my goal as well.
As I looked around and found myself surrounded by my family and friends an hour later, I realised how lucky I was to be blessed with all of them. They stuck by me when at times all I wanted to do was run away screaming. I am sure I wasn't the easiest person to live with.
The time came for the marshalling of my race. Barry handed me a letter and told me to read it when I got down there. I gave my kids, husband and mum a big ole kiss and made my way down. With every step I made closer to the marshalling area the louder and faster my heartbeat resonated in my ears. I could hardly hear the swooshing of the pool and conversations being held around me. It was just incoherent mumbles.
I got my name marked off and set out to read my letter. Barry is not a man of many words but this letter brought a flood of tears to my eyes. It made me realise that he had more faith in me than I did. He knew I could do this, and after reading it I knew I could too.
The actual race itself went by quite quickly. One minute I was in the water getting ready to take my starting position and before I knew it I was at the other end looking up at the time board. At first it didn't register, when I looked to my left I saw only one other person at the end with me, and then it all hit. My race was the fastest heat. I came in at 34.15 seconds. If the screen said I had come second in my heat that meant I had come second overall. OMG, I came second. I couldnt believe it. I was second for my age group in the entire Masters in the world. I felt like I had won the Olympics. Well, this was the closest I would ever come, I was on top of the world.
Finally my hearing came back and I could hear my children, husband, mum, Barry, friends screaming out how proud they were of me. I was so happy, ecstatic, overwhelmed. I was not able to wipe the smile from my face for hours. So I went home, had a nice dinner and a glass of red and relished in the joy of having accomplished a Silver Medal for my first race. But, the job was not done. I still had the 50m Freestyle. I knew it would be harder as this is the race that everyone wants to compete in.
My aim was to hit sub 30 seconds. Was this possible, "NO", but I got close. 30.83 was my time. Was I still proud of my achievement "YES". What I had overcome in the last 9 weeks of training had proven to me that anything was possible. Now whenever I thought to myself "I can't do this", my retort back would be "Of course you can".

What a day. I was so excited. Susan and I were going to Homebush to register for the World Masters Games and recieve all our paperwork. The excitement I felt I could only compare to what an Olympian would feel just before their race. I knew the Masters games were popular but I didn't realise how popular.
Susan and i got to the venue just before 0900hrs. We went into the main arena and lined up with about 40 other people to start our registration paperwork. All went without a glitch and we recieved our backpack, lanyard with competitors pass, drink bottle and timetable for the events. After leaving the main arena we thought we would go buy ourselves some memorabillia however all attendants said that stalls would not be open until 1500hrs when registrations began. This was lucky incident number one. We actually signed up 6 hours early. Yee Ha.
So we returned to the main arena at about 1400hrs after lunch to sit and wait for the stalls to open. Within half an hour or so, officials for the games starting locking these main doors and placing signs up stating the opening time. Funny thing was we were on the inside and Susan and I with about 100 other competitors were ushered in to the main arena as though we were something special. Lucky incident number 2.
Could this be the beginning of many great things to come. Boy, was I in for the shock of a lifetime.
It's coming up
So anyway, back to the reason of this post. I knew it was going to be hard. Barry would give me my session a week in advance. I was scared. I was doing 4x175m Freestyle and 4x175m Backstroke all at about 85%.
I started off with the Backstroke seeing as it was my favourite stroke and knocked those out reasonably well I thought. I was finishing each 175m Backstroke with enough breath to continue talking to Barry and my best friend Susan. Anyone who knows me knows I like to have a good gas bag...
The Freestyles were set to be another story. The first one came and went without too much hassle, the second had me feeling light headed. Now the third one was a doozie. I remember touching the wall and looking up at Barry and Susan and wondering "why are there two of each?". My body had gotten the shakes so bad all I could do was walk about 2m to a bench at the end of the pool and there i sat for a little bit. That was until someone turned on the saliva tap in my mouth.
I felt so unwell but wishing at that point I had not eaten baked beans and toast for breakfast. The thought of that making its way up was just TOO MUCH. The bathrooms were too far away and I knew that I didnt have the energy to get there anyway so the closest thing were some bushes. Luckily all I did was heave. My stomach started to settle after some water and a couple of Glucodin tablets, courtesy of Susan. I can recall just sitting at the table back at the other end of the pool and Barry giving me 15 minutes of respite and then being told I had one more to go. God love him!!
I requested another 5 minutes of rest and then churned out the last 175m and thanked God it was over. I had done it. I had almost spewed and survived. Nothing was holding me back.

Acres of Diamonds
they are in your own backyard, if you but dig for them"
Russell H, Conwell.
The Black Line.
Never thought I would be so happy to see it again. The black line that used to be the thorn in my side as a child was now my best friend. I found comfort and respite from all my negative thoughts. The weightlessness I experienced in the water took me back to the days when I felt on top of the world. I was able to just be me in the water. I didn't have to pretend to be happy or put on a brave front, when at times all I wanted to do was crawl into ball and hide somewhere. This long lost friend of mine was giving me back what I thought I had lost. "ME".
The following 9 weeks would see me accomplish things I never thought possible at the beginning of my journey. I went from training 2 days a week to 3 and 4. Before I knew it I was training 6 days a week. I was swimming 3 times a week, doing 2 bootcamp sessions with Barry and I continued with my personal training sessions.
The weight was shifting, slowly but surely. All the clothes I had bought because I was larger were now not fitting. Thank goodness I spent alot of time in tights and sweat shirts. I really began to notice it in my swimmers. What were once tight and pulling were now getting so loose I could have used it as a drag net at the beach. Time for a new cossie. My reward. YAY!!!
When my best friend and I would compare notes about training sessions she would always say to me "I have worked so hard I was nearly vomiting". I thought it must have been because she was doing heaps of reps on the track, that would make me tired. But I always wondered why I never felt that way. Clearly I wasnt pushing myself hard enough. Time to up the anti.
Oh boy.
What had I done. The World Masters Championships sounded like a great idea up in my head and in conversations with my best friend - who had also signed up. But what was I thinking. I had really only been to the pool in the last 18 months about 5 times. Did i really think I would measure up or atleast put up a little challenge to others in my swim heat. These where questions that had no answers yet, but I was going to try damn hard to put up atleast a little bit of a challenge when the time came to compete.
My personal training sessions with Barry continued only this time they were kicked up a notch. Sessions intensified as my stamina and strength improved. But I liked it. I used to finish my sessions feeling totally overwhelmed by how tired I was. It would take me atleast 15-20 minutes to recover after each session and be able to talk without panting. I clearly remember after one session returning home feeling tired only to wake up the next morning being unable to put on my bra because my arms felt as though they belonged to someone else. As the next couple of days passed, that feeling progressed everywhere else, oh well NO PAIN NO GAIN.
I was going to be one lean mean fighting machine.

Sick of being sick.
Once again I had to get focused and re-motivate myself, but this time it was easier. I had just had enough of it all. I was sick of being sick. Sick and tired of being asked how I was feeling and just falling into the pattern of the same old line " yeah ok, but my back is sore". I didnt want to be defined as that person you didnt want to have a conversation with because their illness was all they talked about.
So I got tough and expected nothing less than 100% of myself and if something hurt while I was doing it - I could stop, but I had to find a more suitable alternative right away. Likewise if I got sick, I just had to get back on the training road without too much delay.
So, needless to say when I returned to training my stamina was almost back to square one but this time I came back with a purpose other than to lose weight, I wanted to compete in the World Masters Games held here in Sydney. This was my goal and I had 9 weeks to train for it. Talk about cutting it fine.

Trip a trip a stack.
My first bushwalk was looking set to be a nice adventure. It was the first time I had met some of the women from Barry's bootcamp. They all looked so fit but better still they were so nice.They made me feel so welcome, like I had been part of it all from the start.But within me I felt so insecure and totally unsure of how I would stack up. I knew I wouldnt be able to keep up - a total contrast to when I was younger.
I remember starting the walk thinking "How beautiful this is?", and how I felt totally in control of my pace. But believe me it didnt last long. I was situated towards the back of the group if not at the end. So all I could see was the backs of everyone else and hear their conversations.I remember hearing laughs and giggles and my heavy breathing. As the walk continued my breathing got heavier and louder, and their discussions became softer. Not because they were not talking but because they were moving ahead in leaps and bounds. About every kilometre Barry would stop and let us all regroup and he would make sure I was okay. I answered "Yes" after a couple of puffs of my inhaler and the walk would continue.
On I plodded and within a short distance I remember losing sight of all (gees they were super fit), but one lady Sharon stayed one step of me and kept on asking me if I was okay and that she would keep me company. The regrouping continued for another couple of kilometres until at one point I remember saying to Sharon "I feel like I am going to twist an ankle", and literally within about 5-10 minutes of saying that, that is exactly what I did.In my head it all felt like it happened in slow motion, like watching a sequence out of the Matrix. If someone was watching I am sure it would have looked funny, but when I hit the ground I heard a snap - and then PAIN.
Everyone came running to my aide. I am not sure what was more bruised, my ankle or my ego. I am sure it was the latter. Barry and all of the ladies wanted to end the walk and help me out but I wouldnt have been able to live with myself if they all missed out on their walk. I got up and said I was ok (after some hollering and wailling like a big girl), and felt good that they all continued their activity. Sharon insisted on helping me out and she kept me company on the way back to the cars.
On our way back we left our fellow bootcampers a message on the driveway with our water bottles and also some broken twigs. We thought we were very clever.
When all the ladies returned from their walk I was totally astounded at how they were not even out of breath. My ankle had swollen some but I was more embarrassed than anything. I remember waiting for them all to leave and just bursting into tears in front of Barry. He assured me that all would be okay and that I would recover and live to see another bushwalk. And I have. But back then I thought that nothing good would ever come out of me exercising. I had somehow assumed a "sick role" and the mentality attached to it would be harder to break than the physical limitations.

Food Glorious Food.
Now being a good little girl from ethnic background I was always taught to eat everything that was on my plate. And if you didn't eat it was because you were sick. So as always I complied. Having Prednisone (steroid used to reduce inflammation) on board didn't help either. All it made me do was eat. So now you see my weight gain had been attributed to lack of exercise, medication, ravenous eating and a sedentary lifestyle.
I knew I couldn't be trusted to do the food stuff on my own, so i enlisted the help of Lite n' Easy. 1500 cals was all I could eat a day for my weight, age and level of activity. I thought that was heaps. And it looked like heaps when it got delivered. It wasn't until I opened up each individual pack that I remember saying to myself " What the?". My brain had become so used to eating large meals that normal portions looked like something a toddler would eat. And to make matters worse I now had to eat breakfast...BLAH. But, if I was going to do this I had to do it right. And that meant not only eating healthy, but drinking water as well and changing my minds habits. No more complaining and no more finding excuses.
So every week when my meals got delivered I ordered my next weeks meals straight away. This became the norm for the next 5 months. The only thing that was hard about it all was having to cook meals for the family. So I kicked the temptation to eat their food whilst I was cooking it by nibbling on a carrot or celery stick. It helped. Every day it got easier and easier and I no longer wanted to eat anything that stood still for long enough.
I knew I was on my way.
Oh the pain !!!!
Saturday, January 16, 2010
What was I thinking?
- Flexibility - +1
- 50m run - 10.4 seconds
- Push Ups - 20
- Sit Ups - 30
- Chin Ups - 0
- Steps Ups in 2 min - 53
- Beep Test - 3.7
- Rating - Cat 7
I only found out recently what the Category 7 stood for - VERY POOR. I thank him with all my heart for not having given me the "very poor" status as I think it may have just crushed all my hopes. I thought there were 10 categories, not 7!!!
That very night I could hardly walk. The pain in my back was excruciating. I felt deflated - how was I going to cope with doing exercise if my back couldnt cope with an easy fitness test. I went to bed that night and cried. But when I woke up the next morning, although my back was sore the defeatist attitude had gone into hiding and there was a tiny spark of the old Barbara resurfacing. I got up, took the kids to school and went for a swim with my friend.

Since the mid-sixties, the staff and patients at the Portland Pataphysical Outpatient Clinic, Lounge, and Laundromat (PPOCLL) have traveled this ravaged countryside from sea to sludgy sea, north and south, east and west, from the smallest bombed out hamlet of pitiable moral morons to the megalopoli of the richly ripe and wasted, all the while studying the stupidity, self-satisfaction, and wooden-headedness that has made the nation of miserable fucks (NOMF™) one of the greatest disappointments in the known universe.
This electronic equivalent of the fossil record collects some of the thankless work our ragged crew has insinuated into the incoherent conversation that some call history, a tale foisted upon losers by an army of commercially motivated oppressors.
Here you will find PPOCLL posts from the late 70s and early 80s, Yossarian Universal dispatches, selections from Ask Dr. Faustroll and Dr. Faustroll Writes the Wrongs, reporting and opinion from Uncommon Sense, sporadic forays into ZNet Interactive, along with dehumanistic observations on life and art.

Gay Islamic Zombies Join Sadr Budweiser Insurgents
Jorge Humberto Romero
Foreign Correspondent
Pataphysical Metempsychotic Sacrament
AN NAJAF (PMS) — Hundreds of undead revelers were shot in their heads during a belated Final Four celebration that turned violent this morning, leading to fierce fighting in and around Najaf's centuries-old Gates of Eden cemetery northwest of the shrine of Mohammed Ali, the most sacred site in Shiite pugilistic circles, said Ahmet Kheli Sadr spokesman Sheikh Yerbouti Shaboomi.
Witnesses reported some of the fiercest combat seen in Najaf since Sadr began raising the dead for his insurgency more than a month ago in response to coalition forces removing Bloom County from the local Sunday newspaper and replacing it with The Family Circus.
"The Mehta Army has thousands of martyrs," Shaboomi said. "We are ready to confront any American force whatever its size, and we will eat their brains with relish or without relish. Allah says this will be so."
Armed men in black speedos wearing brightly colored scarves and elaborate turbans bedecked with floral arrangements were seen prancing around the crowded cemetery and digging up other graves to add to their unstoppable army of gaily boisterous cadavers as US tanks and helicopters began adding to their ranks by bombing residents unfortunate to be living in the area.
Shooting was also heard from the southern and western entrances to the city, and hospital sources said seven people, including an Afghan pilgrim named Rooster Cockburn, had been wounded.
Iran and Shiite Muslim leaders had warned the United States that the Iraqi holy cities of Najaf and Karbala were "red lines" not be crossed and now have vowed to begin raising the dead in the United States as well. "We will take the battle to the infidels and they will know the meaning of hunger."
But US Major General Jack Dempsey told PMS reporters that American troops came under attack from the cemetery and fired back. "We never give up the right of self-defense but we will as much as possible honor the sensitivity of the religious sites. These gay zombies though will not be tolerated," he said.
Najaf governor Adman al-Serif told PMS late Thursday that a "US entry into the center of Najaf may be imminent" and that thousands of starving zombies are gathering to feast on coalition grey matter, despite its paucity and poor quality. A statement posted on an Islamist website attributed to Abdul Axis al-Moran, the Al-Qaeda chief in Saudi Arabia, said the Egyptian mummy network was now also helping Iraqis fighting US forces.
Elsewhere, a US marine was killed by an exploding cream pie in Al-Tanbark province west of Baghdad, the coalition said Friday, the 778th soldier to die of pie-related causes since the liberation of Iraq in March last year.

Obama forced again to rethink troop numbers in Afghanistan
FILE - In this Jan. 20, 2016 file photo, Afghan security forces inspect the site of a suicide attack near the Russian embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Conditions in Afghanistan are getting worse, 15 years into a war that few Americans talk about any more. That's preventing the clean ending that President Barack Obama hoped to impose before leaving office. Violence is on the rise, the Taliban are staging new offensives, the Islamic State group is angling for a foothold and peace prospects are dim. (AP Photo/Rahmat Gul, File)

COM-ward Bound

January 25, 2019
Like many seniors at the start of the school year, I began the process of applying to college. I figured out early on that the public school system had set me up to go to College of Marin (COM). I don't believe COM or other community colleges are bad options, but it isn't fair that I am expected...
Why Go to COM?
By Will Moye
May 3, 2017
When you are raised in Marin, there is a certain pressure to do well in school. This isn't a bad thing, except when you are talking to students at Tam and other high school students in the area. You begin to notice a common thread. People are stressed out and unsure of their future after high school. ...

Dr. Chuck Hamilton
This is my 18th year at GMS! I was born in Canton, OH in 1974. I lived in Ohio and Minnesota for several years before moving to South Carolina at the age of 8. I grew up in Irmo, SC and graduated from Irmo High School (go Yellowjackets!) in 1991. After that, I came to Charleston to attend Charleston Southern University (go Bucs!), graduating with a degree in English in 1995.
After graduating from CSU, I attended Columbia International University, where I earned a Master's degree in ESL in 1997. Afterwards, I moved to Andijon, Uzbekistan where I lived and taught English for some time. Afterwards, I moved to Charleston to help start a small, private ESL school in the local area. I eventually decided to teach in the public school system, and came to work at Gregg (go Mustangs!). Recently, I finished my Doctorate of Education from the University of South Carolina (go Gamecocks!).
I am married with three kids. I love to read, watch movies, travel to new places, and play music. I play several instruments and play bass in a local Irish band (Erin go bragh!)

Arguments for and against economist having moral leanings is something debated within their community. Some of us roll our eyes when people throw moral judgments out in the world with radical beliefs on both sides of nearly any political or economic argument. However, there is a place for some warnings but analysis must be bias free.
No: Economists are like scientists and should not have moral leanings. They should seek to be objective in all cases and simply evaluate the economy and determine the findings. The more moral they get, the more skewed their judgement.
Yes: The economists should not seek to create wealth for the already wealthy. Where and how they focus will determine what information is available and how that information can be used. Focusing more on the needs of raising all of society could lead to better management.
However, an economist certainly could give warnings as human behavior and people's beliefs are part of what runs the economy. Growing income gaps, consolidation of power in the hands of the few, desperate poor, pollution and unfair court systems all would have an impact on economic growth.
To answer this question we can say "yes and no". They should be objective in their analysis but not be afraid to give warnings if research supports the idea that violation of standard moral principles may lead to economic calamity. Since when wasn't ethical business part of opportunity and economic advancement?

Piercings are one of the most important decisions we make, it's an almost permanent change in our body and also probably because it hurts to get one. Nevertheless, they're one of the most beautiful ways to accessories or even celebrate one.
If you're thinking of getting a nose or ear piercing soon, you might want to take all the necessary precautions. While ear piercings are relatively common, getting your nose pierced is rare. But they sure do look pretty. It's like a tiny make over that could make a lot of difference to how you look.
Depending on your face structure you can play around with the size of the nose pin. Depending on what goes better with your features you can pick a cute smaller one or a slightly bold design. Someone with a delicate facial structure can complement their look with a delicate flower design or just find a ring that you can wear initially till you fall in love with one.
One of the most reliable one is the simple diamond studs. Perfect for almost every occasion, be it a traditional get together or an office meeting, the diamond stud will always stand by your side. We all deserve a little bit of that bling!
You could find nose pins that have a screw at the back however, make sure you don't hurt yourself because of it. At the same time wearing a small nose ring could mean something might get stuck in it or tug it against your skin. Make sure the piercing has healed and use rings that are made or gold or silver to keep your skin from having an infection.

Seventeen years ago, Dave Buschur (Buschur Racing) and some DSM buddies got together to race their cars and have a good time. The weekend of August 15th-16th this year, they did it again – only these days, it's more like 2,000 friends.
We were introduced to this event back in 2004 by our friends over on 2GNT. 2010 was only the second time we've missed the Shootout since. We've got a good excuse – really – but we'll get to that in a minute. Since we couldn't go, we asked our buddy Andrew Kemp out of Indianapolis if we could link to his pictures after the fact and he gladly obliged.
Andrew uploaded all his pictures from this most epic of DSM weekends to his gallery on IndyStars.org. 'Drew's been doing this for years. You can also visit this link to check out pictures he and friends have taken at Shootouts going back as far as 2003! There are even albums from local IndyStars meets, and the infamous 2GNT Hammars get-togethers. It's good times.
If you went to the Shootout this year, we'd really like to hear your stories in the comments below. What surprised you? Did you try the chili-cheese fries at Summit Raceway? Delish! We want to live vicariously through you! Please share!
We're really bummed that we couldn't go this year. It would have been nice to see our friends again and shake hands with some of the folks we've interviewed this year like Scott Glassbrook, Kevin Jewer, and Kiggly. These guys all know what's up, and they were on hand to show off their DSMs. If you've never been, you owe it to yourself to go at least once.
To keep up with DSM/EVO Shootout planning, sign up on Buschur's High Boost Forum and get to know the die hards.
Still wondering why we missed this most important of annual Mitsubishi get togethers this year? Living in Phoenix, it's hard for us to do a Shootout weekend for much less than a grand, and we're headed to Germany on September 1st. On September 11th, we will be attending the first anniversary of the Baden-Württemberg chapter of the Mitsubishi Fan Forum. On the agenda, a meet-n-greet, karting, and dinner.
We'll have our cameras rolling the whole time and will be bringing YOU the story when we return. Who knows… maybe Bodo might show up too (all the way from Hamburg)!
Thanks for reading Gearbox Magazine! Keep going fast with class!

We spent the morning hanging out with deer at two World Heritage status sites — Tōdai-ji and Kasuga-taisha. Then the afternoon was filled with delicious food and leisurely strolls in cute souvenir shops and charming neighborhoods.
On the way out of the Nara Park, we passes by another UNESCO World Heritage site, Kohfukuji (興福寺). Kohfukuji's five-story pagoda (Gojū-no-tō) is a landmark of Nara. The classic view of the pagoda is from across the Sarusawa Pond (猿澤池). (Yet we were too hungry and tired to go.)
Kohfukuji is a Buddhist temple founded in 669 AD. This is another tutelary temple compound of the Fujiwara family. Kohfukuji was not just an important center of Buddhism in Japan, it was also a political power house. Even after the capital of Japan moved from Nara to Kyoto, Kohfukuji maintained its strong political influence because the Fujiwara family remained in power.
During Kohfukuji's hay days, monks here operated an army. The temples were burned down in civil wars many times. The current five-story pagoda was rebuilt in 1426. It is the second tallest wooden pagoda in Japan.
The street in between the five-story pagoda and Sarusawa Pond is Sanjo Dori (三條通). The famous mochi place Nakatanidou (中谷堂) is less than five minutes of a walk from the pagoda. Nakatanidou sells Yomogi mochi (よもぎ餅).
The making of Nakatanidou mochi is a well-known Nara tourist spot. Two mochi masters pound a light green dough with giant wooden mallets at a ridiculously high speed and synchronized rhythm. It was way too crowded to see them in action when we were there, not to mention taking any pictures. YouTube "奈良中谷堂" and you'll see their incredible techniques, especially when it's towards the end and one person is folding and adding water and the other person pounding the dough with a mallet.
These snacks have sweet azuki beans filling. Their mochi is made of glutinous rice and Japanese mugwort. Then it's covered in roasted soy bean powder. These were soooo good. The filling was not too sweet. Their mochi was so chewy with an aroma of soy bean and mugwort. Grab a fresh mochi to go for just 130 yen.
After buying and giving away so many deer senbei, right next door to Nakatanidou you can get some human senbei to try.
For lunch, I was aiming for tsukemen (沾麵) from つけめん・らーめん元喜神, a chicken broth ramen place. Yet there was a long line at even 2:00 pm. Traveling with my parents means waiting in a long line for food is simply not permissible. With regrets, we moved on to find other places to eat. Another restaurant with a good review happened to be nearby. We still had to wait for seats, but the line was not bad at all.
We ate at an udon place, Kamaiki (うどん釜粋). Their Sanuki udon (讃岐うどん) is award-winning. They do have an English menu. Kamaiki serves their udon as hot udon soup and cold or hot tsukemen.
I ordered an udon tsukemen. You pick up udon noodle with chopsticks one or two at a time, dip the noodle in the bowl of broth on the left, and then eat it. The broth I got was pork, vegetable, and Japanese soy sauce based. This dish was 880 yen. Their udon was al dente. Tempura shrimp was also tasty with light and airy breading. My husband liked his tempura fried chicken in udon noodle soup.
Nara Souvenir Shopping – Craftsmanship from the 18the Century 中川政七家事布
Along and in the alleys of Sanjo Dori there is a lot of souvenir shopping. The store that really intrigued me was Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten (中川政七商店).
Nakagawa Masashichi was a textile company founded in 1716 in Nara. The company was known for its linen and mosquito nets. In the early 20th century, the textile and garment industries in Japan started to decline. Also, who's buying mosquito nets nowadays? The company decided to revitalize Japanese craft and manufacturing and transform itself from a linen company into trendy souvenir shops.
You can find a wide range of souvenirs here, but they are known for their linen or cotton tea towels. They are made with the traditional techniques that Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten made their linen and mosquito nets for centuries, very absorbent and quick drying. You can use it as a cheese cloth, dish cloth, or rag. These tea towels come in various patterns, including some iconic Nara and quintessential Japanese designs. (Intro about their products at the official website.)
中川政七賣的東西很雜,最有名的是家政布,其實就是抹布,容易吸水又快乾,十分萬用,可以拿來擦碗盤、蓋發酵麵團和食物、包便當、過濾東西 (這麼可愛誰捨得拿來當抹布),要幹嘛都可以 (詳見官網的簡介它的多功能),而且圖案都超級可愛,有奈良的小鹿大佛、富士山、卡通人物和其他日本風的圖案。
Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten operates two stores in Nara. Nipponichi (日本市) is on Sanjo Dori, about a block away from the mochi shop Nakatanidou. Note that in English version Google Map you want "日本市奈良三条店 Souvenir Store" not "中川政七三條店 Home Goods Store."
中川政七在奈良有兩家店,一家叫日本市,在三條通上面,如果在英文版Google Map打中川政七三條店或走到不知名沒東西的小斜巷,日本市奈良三条店才是你要去的地方,就在三條通上,離中谷堂麻糬大概一個街區。
The other store is not too far from there — Yu Nakagawa (遊中川). Yu Nakagawa is in a renovated traditional Japanese-style house in Naramachi where Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten started their business. The two stores sell slightly different products. I would recommend visiting both.
Charming Alley Ways and Traditional Housing in Naramachi 奈良町老街散步
We spent the rest of the afternoon strolling through charming alley ways of old town Nara — Naramachi (奈良町). Naramachi used to be an annexation of the temples; then it turned into a business district and now a touristy area with lots of boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants. Naramachi still preserves lots of traditional townhouses, called machiya, that were owned by merchants from the 15th to 19th centuries. The streets and houses largely maintained the looks from the 19th century.
These townhouses are long and narrow. The fronts are shops and the backs are living quarters. Most of the houses have delicate lattice sliding doors.
You'd see that some of these businesses hang strings of red cloth thingy at their store fronts. The red balls are monkeys. These monkey charms are called migawari-zaru from a folk religion, Kōshin-shinkō (庚申信仰). The red cloth monkey charms are supposed to keep one safe from illness and accidents.
Before we hop on a train to head back to Osaka, there's one last thing I wanted to do in Nara — getting a Buddha custard!
Daibutsu Purin has a store near Nara Park and a shop inside the Kintetsu Nara station near ticket vending machines on B1. Daibutsu Purin is vanilla custard with caramel at the bottom. The idea is similar to a flan, but the texture is more like a custard. The custard comes in cute little glass jars with Nara icons on their caps. The custard and caramel are incredibly delicious! That was a perfect ending of our Nara day trip. I saved a glass jar and now it is a paper clip holder on my desk at work!

EPA boss: Carbon dioxide isn't cause of global warming | Daily Mail Online
The incoming head of America's Environmental Protection Agency, climate skeptic Scott Pruitt, said Thursday he believes that carbon dioxide is not a primary contributor to global warming.
A known fossil-fuel ally, Pruitt's appointment to head the EPA – a department he repeatedly sued as a state attorney general – was deeply contentious.'I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact, so no, I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming that we see,' Pruitt told CNBC's Squawk Box Thursday.
Source: EPA boss: Carbon dioxide isn't cause of global warming | Daily Mail Online
The Daily Mail is a sensational rag and the perfect source for this sort of TRASH coming out of Scott Pruitt's mouth.
The collective IQ of the USA government has drastically reduced since Nov 2016.
What a freakin embarrassm

The site ConsenSys-hatched startup said it would express two additional missions previously at last settling on other objective. Be that as it may, Token Foundry is not probably going to convey on any mission whatsoever. Jay Thakrar( the head of the operations for both Token Foundry and ConsenSys Digital Securities) is not agreeable to the announcement and he include that Token Foundry has not closed down. As indicated by him Token Foundry is centered around building economical decentralized system and empowering buyers to securely purchase confirmed tokens. They are building extra software to help dependably connect that hole.
At the time of departure of CEO Harrison Hines from ConsenSys, a doubt about the future of the company raised in the minds of observers. A personal not intent to disclose his name said there has no one left at Token Foundry-anyone still employed under that banner actually works on ConsenSys Digital Securities. Hines told having a decent pioneer who is enthusiastic about the goal and the mission is basic to startup's prosperity and keeping the group propelled and together.
Revenue Driver
CoinFund organizer Jake Brukhman squeezed Lubin in an on-stage meeting to share which of ConsenSys' 50 ventures were profiting. The organization anticipated income of $50 to $100 million for 2018. Dether, which enabled physical shops to move digital forms of money, brought $13.5 million up in February 2018. Gambling or betting startup Virtue Poker brough $18.5 million up in May. Token Foundry would have just earned a little divisions of any of the deals.
The pace did not seem, by all accounts, to be sufficient to legitimize its staffing, in view of resulting news. Thakrar said they are growing our contributions and will consistently reassess our situating to guarantee Token Foundry's future achievement in this unique space. Their objectives are to interfacing stages with existing members that will increase the value of a given system, diminishing the hindrances for all around prepared members, and building motivators for new members.
Stirring Mission
ConsenSys Digital Securities is a piece of Token Foundry. FINRA indicates CDS authorized as an intermediary merchant. A year ago ahead of time of the token deal for Civil, ConsenSys and Token Foundry were firmly pushing the message that ''consumer tokens'' could evade securities law. That recommendation was not tried. Civil's new offering will shun Token Foundry totally. The law of Token Foundry is like some other law of a few undertakings of the lines.
After a total update from the primary tag on site, the content sounded progressively like a funding firm, ''Token Foundry partners with ambitious startups and enterprises who are building infrastructure and apps for Web 3.0.'' A year ago, Token Foundry turned into the standard for issuing and obtaining all around designed tokens. This year we are adding better approaches to lead cryptocommerce, from membership to token issuance. CSD is simply part of the bigger token technique at ConsenSys.

Lyme Regis beachLyme Regis , United Kingdom
Lyme Regis Beach
In our online broadcast there is a real "Dorset Pearl", the most popular beach of the English town of Lyme Regis. In summer, the beach well shown in a webcam, is quite overcrowded with people. Sometimes it is very difficult to find a place to relax. There is a beautiful promenade stretches along the beach in our live camera, where it pleasant to walk slowly. As you can clearly see online, there are street cafes, shops, and retail shops nearby.
Lyme Regis
Located near Lyme Bay, the small coastal city of Lyme Regis, the beach area of which is shown by our webcam, belongs to the English county of Dorset. Interestingly, the coast of the city is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast.
Lime Regis, where our online camera is located, is the birthplace of Sir George Somers, the founder of the British colony in Bermuda (Somers Islands).

In the 13th century, the city with our live stream, got a title of the largest British port. So, the word "Regis" was added to the name of the city of Lyme.
Becoming an important trade port with France, as well as a shipbuilding center, Lyme Regis in our webcam has gained great importance. About 100 ships were built in the city from 1780 to 1850.
In the 15th century, Lyme Regis, which beach you can see in the online camera, acquired the Cobb breakwater, created an artificial harbor. The Cobb was repeatedly destroyed by storms and rebuilt by the city's authorities. The building that monitored its condition is currently owned by the Maritime Museum.
Since 2005 in Lyme Regis with our online broadcast it has been carried out a huge work to strengthen the coastline and protect the city from coastal erosion.
At the beginning of the 21st century, in a city whose sea promenade shows the web camera, was restored the 1340 mill, which works today, producing flour. Next to the mill, there where the old chapel of St. Mary and the Holy Spirits, there is a "leper well". About 700 years ago, there was a hospital for skin diseases patients, called by locals the leper - leprosy.
There is an interesting Lyme Regis museum in the city with amazing exhibits and local geological and paleontological findings. Dinosaurland Museum will tell you about the Jurassic treasures of Lyme Regis.
Every year in the city in our online camera a large number of events are held. For example, a great carnival and regatta, as well as an essential history festival in honor of the famous paleontologist Mary Anning.
Since the railway was built in the city in 1903, tourism began to develop actively in Lyme Regis.
In 1980, in Lyme Regis, whose beach is shown online, was filmed "The French Lieutenant's Woman" movie with Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons.
Nowadays, the mysterious city of Lyme Regis, whose coast shows a live webcam, still attracts adventures searchers and hunters for rare Jurassic minerals.
