The more this planet goes to shit (hi, Adani mine) the more I want to do become one with the Earth. There's the stuff that helps the planet, like putting little sugar waters out for the bees or reducing my waste via composting and effective recycling. And there's the stuff that just makes me feel a bit less plugged into the consumer machine. Like growing my own vegetable garden.
I'd been on the grow-your-own-herbs train for years, keeping a few pots of the basics growing on my kitchen window-sill in my old apartment. But now I have a small yard, and therefore the ability to grow some veggies. Even if you don't have a yard, some vegetables will thrive in a balcony pot.
Growing your own vegetable garden is a great way to save some cash, lower stress and anxiety (gardening? A known stress reliever!) and feel like even though the entirety of your life is a trash-fire, you can at least keep a tomato plant alive. But, like all gardening, a vegetable garden takes work. Here's what to know before you… grow.
1. You Need Plenty Of Sun

Homegrown turnips for the Herdwicks! This lovely bunch of overgrown turnips from the allotment came all the way to Wales with me so I could feed them to my little Herdwick flock. If you want to see a million photographs of my sheep head on over to @lambsandlavender, they feature heavily on my farm page! #allotment #allotmentlife #homegrown #growyourown #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #thegoodlife #thesimplethings #digforvictory #vegpatch #vegetablegarden #organic #organicgarden #garden #gardener #gardening #turnips #foodforsheep #herdwicks #farmher #farm #farmlife #farming #herdwickshepherdess #harvest #girlsthatgarden
The top advice when it comes to planting a veggie garden is nailing the location. You've got to choose a spot that has plenty of sunlight – even in winter. You also have to consider frost, which can quickly kill your veggies if they're not hardy types. The good news is you can protect plants from frost by covering them with protective netting or plastic – best to chat to your local nursery to determine what's right for the plants you choose.
2. The Dirt Has To Be Primo
Whether you're planting veggies directly into your yard's ground or you're building a garden/using a pot and therefore filling with potting mix, pick the right stuff. Veggies, especially if you're growing from the seedling stage, need aerated soil and good nourishment – so mix some rich potting mix that's specifically designed for veggie-growing in with your normal dirt, or fill your pot/bed with potting mix alone. Then, turn the soil over so it's crumbly, not firm.
3. Veggies Are Seasonal
Most veggies you want for your vegetable garden will be seasonal, so you have to time your planting and accept that just because you want, say, cherry tomatoes doesn't mean it's the right season for it. Veggie timings are weird, but generally you plant your summer veggies in spring, and your winter ones in autumn. This guide is good, to me.
4. Spacing, Spacing, Spacing
I cannot stress this enough – READ THE LABEL OF YOUR VEGGIES. Whether you're starting with seeds or with little plants, many veggies will grow quick-smart and need space for their root system. When I planted my bok choy they were like 5cm wide and now they're 20cm and it's been a few weeks, for example. If you cramp your veggies up they'll either die or one will reign supreme (it's always the mint).
5. Water & Fertilise Regularly
You have to water your garden daily, and give it plenty of TLC with fertiliser. You can fertilise with compost, or with liquid stuff that goes into your water (ask your nursery which one's right for your plants).
6. There Are So Many Pests
Let's start with the easy to deal with – pets and animals. Dogs love shitting in veggie gardens for some fucking reason, so fencing yours off is a good idea if you've got pups. Moving on to bugs and diseases… look, this is a complex one. There's a few things you can do, like you want predatory insects like ladybugs and stuff but it's this whole process of planting companion plants like garlic so they come to your garden. If you can get your head around all that, go for it. But the best thing you can do is keep your vegetable garden healthy and thriving – healthy plants are less likely to succumb to bug infestations. The other thing you can do if you're finding bugs to be an issue is to use netting to protect plants. This guide for specific bugs is good!Image: Instagram / @lavenderandleeks

A bill is making progress in the Florida Senate that would reduce the size of Citizens Property Insurance and permit property insurers to increase their rates.
Senate Bill 1770, sponsored by Sen. David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs, is a large insurance reform effort, containing many changes that the insurance industry has long advocated for. However, critics say that if the bill becomes law, property insurance policy holders will see their rates go up. The bill targets the government-run Citizens, but may also cause rate increases.
Sen. Simmons said that the bill would reduce the high level of risk the state faces in the event of a major hurricane and would also reduce reliance on state-run insurance. Some Senators from coastal areas said that the bill would result in unmanageable rate increases for homeowners' insurance. Consumer advocates criticized the lawmaking process, saying that public comment had been limited.
The bill would make the following changes in current law:
The rates charged by Citizens would be required to be actuarially sound, to not compete with private insurers and to carry an appropriate risk load. These measures could cause rate increases for customers of Citizens, who currently have a cap of 10 percent for increases in their rates.
When insurance companies purchase reinsurance to cover a potential hurricane, they would be permitted to charge higher rates. This means that customers of Citizens may be charged an additional 3 percent per year, though the assessment they would face after a major hurricane would also be lower.
Some of Citizens' $6 billion surplus could be lent to private companies that would take over some of its policies, a move that would reduce the insurer's resources and could result in higher rates for Citizens customers that remain.
For new policyholders at Citizens, as well as existing policies for second homes and homes worth more than $300,000, Citizens will be required to charge rates higher than those charged by the top 20 private
When it comes time for renewal, Citizens policyholders will lose their coverage if a private insurance company offers a policy that can be up to 15 percent pricier than Citizens.
The bill has cleared the Banking and Insurance Committee and the Government Operations subcommittee. It must clear the Appropriations Committee before it faces a full floor vote in the Senate. If the bill passes both the Senate and the House, it will go to Gov. Rick Scott for his signature.

One of the Internet pioneers in Bulgaria, a long-term my friend and friend of the Internet Society – Bulgaria, Elya Bozhinoff, has suddenly passed away today.
We will remember him as a good friend, a good Father and Grandfather.
Elya was only 53 years old. 20 years ago, as head of MicroComm, he supported the establishment of the first Sofia-based Bulletin Board System, part of FidoNet, having a node number 2:359/101.
He has hired Assen Sharlandjiev as the first system operator of the BBS, and a few months later, on September 3, 1990 also myself.
I knew Elya for a while before that, too, but the real friendship started then, and enhanced through the years. His father, Todor, was my first teacher in mountain hiking.
The last communication I had with Elya was only few days ago, when he invited me to play one of his favorite games, this time on Facebook.
Elya became also leader of the Citizens Initiative for Free and Democratic Elections, a non-profit, which was monitoring elections in Bulgaria, and other East European countries. He had a career in the Bulgarian Socialist Party, and has managed to achieve a lot of things in the last 30 years.
He will be missed by all his friends.
My condolences, and the sympathies of the Internet Society of Bulgaria are for all his relatives and close ones.

In this MBA Seminar topic, we are going to look into various aspects of financial statement such as Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account. A financial statement can be termed as a collection of data organised based on logical and standard accounting procedures.
Four Basic Financial statements are
- Balance Sheet
- Income Statement
- Statement of Cash Flows
- Statement of Owner Equity
Balance Sheet
Main purpose of balance sheet is to determines solvency of business- ability to meet both long term and short term obligations. It will give concise summary of firm's resources and obligations. Balance sheet gives a measure of firm's liquidity.
- The balance sheet is regarded as a separate accounting entity( entity concept)
- The figures are expressed in monetary units (monetary concept)
- The balance sheet assumes that the company is a going concern (going concern concept)
- The fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation ( cost concept)
- The current assets are stated at cost or market value, whichever is lower (conservative concept)
- Assets are equal to liabilities (dual aspect concept)
The Balance Sheet should contain Name, to know what it represents (Partnership, individual, combined). It needs to be consistent over time. It should contain statement date. It should list all the assets and liabilities. Balances should be provided at the bottom of form. Balance is. Assets - Liabilities = Equity.
For example, financial statement for XYZ Company As on 31.3.2014.
|Current Liabilities
|Current assets
|Long Term Liabilities
|Fixed assets
Balance Sheet Asset Types
Different types of asset types are
- Current assets
- Consumed or converted to cash in 12 months e.g. Inventory, prepaid expenses, cash, savings
- Long Term or Fixed assets
- e.g. land, buildings, stocks
- Selling would typically decrease volume or size of business
Asset Value Determination is based on book value (cost basis), which is useful for trend analysis and Fair Market Value, which is useful to determine liquidation value.
Balance Sheet Debt Types
Different types of balance sheet are
- Current liabilities
- To pay in the next 12 months e.g. bills, accrued interest, taxes
- Long Term
- Scheduled originally to be paid in more than one year e.g. land debt, house payments
A part of Balance Sheet should contain current Liabilities -- What you owe someone else (against what you own). Some of the Current Liabilities are - What you are scheduled to pay in the next 12 months, Unpaid bills, accrued interest, property taxes, Operating loans and Principal payments on term debts to be made in the next 12 months.
Another part of the Balance Sheet should contain Long Term Liabilities such as What you owe to someone else (against what you own), Long Term Liabilities, What was scheduled originally as more than one years, Land debt, house payments, Match up to the long term assets.
- Preferred Stock (cumulative, Non cumulative, convertible, cumulative convertible)
- Common Stock or ordinary shares
- Contributed capital in excess of par
- Retained earning
- Revenue reserve: from profit of normal business operations
- Capital reserve: Premium on issue of shares or gains on revaluation of assets
Debentures can be Convertible or Non convertible.
How to Build a Balance Sheet
To to Build a Balance Sheet, we need to do a count of Current, Long Term, Rupee Prices for each of the above. It is recommend to have cost and market value for both assets. For Machinery, depreciation schedule (Straight line or WDV) should be considered. Next thing is to assemble the above into a standard format. Then add up the assets and up the debts. Assets minus debts = net worth or equity.
Balance sheet give picture of company in time -- a specific point, as on 31.3.20XX. It shows financial position- of the firm and its ability to handle risk. It gives net result of past. It is useful component to track and monitor financial progress. It is the basic building block for financial analysis.
Balance Sheet does NOT necessarily tell you if the business is making money and it does NOT tell you where net worth came from. Change in Net Worth is due to Retained Earnings from profits earned and retained in business and Market Valuation Equity from change in market value of assets.
Profit and Loss Account
It is a report of a firm's activities during a given period of time. It shows revenue and expenses of the firm, the effect of interest and tax, and the net income for the period. Different functions of P & L Account are
- Gives concise summary of firm's revenue and expenses
- Measures firm's profitability
For accurate accounting, first identify revenue. Then match the corresponding cost to revenue. Revenue occurs when the earning process is complete and an exchange has taken place. Depreciation is a non cash charge used to match expenditure of creating asset with resulting revenue. Three estimate are required to calculate depreciation. They are
- Assets useful life
- Its salvage value
- Method of allocation (straight line, WDV)
To recognize expense, various principles used are
- Principle of associating cause and effect
- Principle of systematic and rational allocation (depreciation)
- Immediate recognition principle (selling and administrative expenses and all losses

Once again, Speedy Noil simply can't get out of his own way.
According to a tweet from Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle, "Noil turned himself in to College Station police today on marijuana possession charge" of less than two ounces. Zwerneman added that "[a] warrant had been issued for his arrest" and that the Texas A&M wide receiver has already been released after posting a $2,000 bond.
There has been no comment from the football program on Noil's latest off-field misadventure.
In early April, Noil was arrested on a charge of driving without a license. That arrest came nearly four months after reports surfaced that the receiver would be suspended for not only the Aggies' bowl game but for the 2016 opener against UCLA as well. The only reason given for that suspension was the standard violation of unspecified team rules.
That was Noil's second suspension of the season as he didn't play against Western Carolina because of violations of unspecified team rules. Additionally, Noil took some time off from football this past spring "to do some things."
Shortly after signing with A&M in February of 2014, Noil was a passenger in a car that was pulled over and in which two of his teammates were charged with possession of marijuana.
This season, Noil was third on the team in receptions (21), receiving yards (325) and receiving touchdowns (two). He also returned five punts for 104 yards and scored a pair of rushing touchdowns.

The Rest Of My Life Is For You Chapter 201
Chapter 201 Causing Trouble
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
Yu Yuehan maintained a calm and composed expression on his face. He looked back at her as if he was saying: What does your life or death have to do with me?
Nian Xiaomu stared back immediately: If I die, who will look after Xiao Liuliu for you?
Yu Yuehan: I'll hire another nurse.
Nian Xiaomu: … Hopeless!
When Yu Yuehan did not show any reaction for a long while, the people in the audience started a discussion among themselves.
"What's the matter? Isn't Master Han supposed to make a speech?"
"I knew this had to be my wishful thinking. I should be content to watch a view of my heartthrob's back from afar. How could I dream of seeing him up close?"
"Master Han doesn't want to go onstage and Shangxin still hasn't appeared. What's going on with this product launch?"
"Now that you mention it, I also feel that something is not right…"
Various comments were made and shared among the audience.
Nian Xiaomu gripped her microphone tightly and tried hard to come up with something to say. Just then, from the corner of her eye, she noticed Yu Yuehan, who had been sitting down in the VIP zone all this time, slowly get up from his seat.
He buttoned up his jacket with his long fingers and sauntered up the stage in front of everyone.
"Wah!" The audience broke into a resounding cheer the moment he stood up.
After that, they followed up with a round of applause.
His distinguished manner was not affected by anyone at all. He maintained an air of indifference and walked unhurriedly toward Nian Xiaomu.
His deep and dark eyes watched her little shocked face as the corners of his lips curled into a sinister smile.
It seemed like he was very pleased with her reaction…
Nian Xiaomu snapped back to her senses and took a deep breath to steady her composure when her eyes met with his ambiguously smiling expression.
"Thank you Master Han for coming up onto the stage to share with everyone what you think of this cell phone."
After that, Nian Xiaomu passed the microphone with both hands to Yu Yuehan.
However, Yu Yuehan did not reach out for the microphone, but only looked back at her indifferently.
Nian Xiaomu's lips quivered. She had never met with such an uncooperative guest before.
Yet, the people in the audience were extremely thrilled to see Yu Yuehan. Eager to capture a headline, even the reporters rushed forward.
There was no way to back down now, so Nian Xiaomu could only continue to prompt him, "I wonder if Master Han has tried this cell phone yet. What do you think about it?"
It was a standard question, so there was absolutely no need to think it through. He only needed to give typical responses like "very good," "not bad," "I think it's pretty good," etc. and everything would be fine!
At that moment, Nian Xiaomu was not even hoping that Yu Yuehan would help her by giving a speech. She only wished that he would open his mouth and answer a few of her questions.
However, after waiting for close to 10 seconds, the man standing in front of her did not look like he had any intention of opening his mouth to speak.
Nian Xiaomu eyes widened with incredulity.
So he came up to the stage, but remained silent all this time. Was he planning to cause trouble?
Just when Nian Xiaomu felt like the fire was about to singe her eyebrows, Yu Yuehan replied, "I haven't tried it yet."
Nian Xiaomu: "…!!"
Now, she was sure that he was not here to help her, but to rub salt on her wound so she would die a more horrible death.
Had it been some other guest who were there to promote the new product, they would surely have been lambasted for saying that they had not even tried it yet.
No one in the audience, however, reacted with shock when these words came out of his mouth.
Instead, they appeared to agree with him simply because he was handsomenothing he said could be wrong.
Nian Xiaomu was at a loss for words!
Just when Nian Xiaomu was about to fall into despair, Yu Yuehan nonchalantly added, "I could try it out later."

V. Kumaresan
Secretary-External Relations, Dravidar Kazhagam
Secular way of living has been the significant feature of the indigenous people of this land. The observance of festival and praise for the local deities has nothing to do with the vigorous religious practices of seminal religion. The method of prayer of the majority people has been nothing but paying respect and reverence to their forefathers who were the heads of the joint families or the rulers of small kingdoms. In course of time, these sections of the people were usurped to project the pseudo majority of one particular religion.
In recent days, the multi religious approach with a difference has been narrowed down to the mono religious thrust with an impetus to inculcate the mono religious culture in the pluralistic society, habituated to different cultures, languages, beliefs, etc.
This will make the present form of the country become less secular. Without knowing their contribution to the pseudo majority of their religion, the so called believers and practitioners feel proud to be a part of the religion. In any civilized society, the freedom to practise any particular religious belief must be available to the subject, despite the prevalence of significant strength of non-believers. But the civil law of the country decides the religious identity of its citizens, not based on the adherence of the belief and practices of that religion by them but on the non preference of belief and practices related to other religions. How could it be equitable? Is it not a denial of recognition for free thought and freedom to profess and practice any belief, dogma or doctrine? The edifice of pseudo majority which is thrust as mono religious culture of the country has been erected on this fragile foundation. Even rationalists who do not have faith in any religion have been used for the brick by brick addition to prove the pseudo religious majority.
When the country attained political independence in 1947, special efforts were taken by the mutt heads of the pseudo majority religion to insert the word, 'spiritual' in the governing code of the country – Indian Constitution. Due to the danger in the upsurge of religious fundamentalists in the mid 1970s, the word 'secular' was inserted in the preamble 'to constitute India into a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic…'
The effect of the present Indian Constitution is not endowed with adequate secular power for the State to discharge its governance in 'non religious' manner. Still the dominance of one religious influence continues.
Even then the religious fanatics did not rest on their deed of pointing it as spiritual feature in the Constitution in its original form at the time of inception, as the word 'secular' was deliberately inserted in the preamble during the period of emergency, when democracy was in peril. The anti secular forces again failed in their attempt by stating that the word 'secular' was not found its due place of the Constitution from the beginning. Actually it is not so; the word 'secular' is very much available in the Constitution from the beginning.
The Right to Freedom of Religion is adumbrated in the Constitution vide Article 25 while narrating the rights available to the citizens on religious freedom, it has been aptly pointed out in Article 29(2) as follows.
"Nothing in this article shall affect the operation of any existing law or prevent the state from making any law
(a) Regulating or restricting any economic, financial, political or other secular activity which may be associated with religious practice.
(b) Providing for social welfare and reform or the throwing open of Hindu religious institutions of a public character to all classes and sections of Hindus".
The Constitutional provisions say that the State can interfere into the religious practices to regulate or restrict secular activities which include economic, financial, and political.
More practices have to be reformed, or, in case of social need, to be eliminated. Less is reformed than non-reformed. Till such reformation takes place, the ancient, old and prevailing practices have to be adhered to – this is explicitly expressed in Article 372 of the Constitution as 'Continuance in force of existing laws and their adaption' thus.
(i) Notwithstanding the repeal by this Constitution of the enactments referred to in Article 395 but subject to the other provisions of this constitution, all the laws in force in the territory of India immediately before the commencement of this Constitution shall continue in force therein until altered or repealed or amended by the competent legislature or other competent authority.
The effect of the present Indian Constitution is not endowed with adequate secular power for the State to discharge its governance in 'non religious' manner. Still the dominance of one religious influence continues.
This is a big challenge to the secular fabric of the country!
The social revolutionary Thanthai Periyar E.V.Ramasamy fought throughout his life for the abolition of caste system, a menace on which Hindu religion is built up. In 1957 Periyar gave a call for a massive agitation to substitute the word 'caste' instead of 'untouchability' in Article 17. Nearly 10,000 black shirt cadres participated in the statewide agitation and about 3000 cadres were arrested and sentenced for imprisonment ranging upto 3 years.
To facilitate the State carrying out the secular activity in religious affairs, Periyar movement conducted many exclusive conferences and agitations for the appointment of priests in temples, hailing from all castes as manifestation of equality among the subjects of the same religion. Last year the Government of Kerala took pride in implementing the appointment of priests, hailing from all the castes in the HR&CE managed temples. Still the rationalist organization, Dravidar Kazhagam under the leadership of its President Asiriyar Dr. K.Veeramani, is taking steps to co-ordinate all the progressive forces to insist the implementation of already prevailing Act in Tamil Nadu to appoint priests duly qualified for the profession, devoid of discrimination of castes.
One more remarkable deed carried out by the Central Government during the emergency period in 1976 was the insertion of Part IV-A – Fundamental Duties of the Citizens. The fundamental duties still remain in the directive principle of the State Policy.
One of the fundamental duties under Article 51A(h) says,
"It shall be the duty of every citizen of India to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform."
Do the present rulers accord due respect to this provision?
Events and features in mythology are equated with science by the saffron leaders. The Prime Minister of the country, while declaring open the hospital at Mumbai has cited the elephant face of 'God' Ganesha to prove that plastic surgery was in vogue in mythical period. This statement of the Prime Minister is connected to the indigenous mythology.
Recently, the Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development participated in the 105th Indian Science Congress at Manipur University, Imphal. In his address, the Minister, under the guise of paying tributes to recently demised Stephen Hawking had flourished his own religious belief without adducing any proof. He said, "The theory of relativity formulated by the scientist Albert Einstein was found long ago in the Vedas."
After the address was over, the Minister was asked for the reference of his statement from the Vedas. The reply was, "Reference? Only you have to find out. If you are unable to do it, afterwards do come to me!"
What an authoritative utterance in support of his unscientific statement!
Recently, addressing a workshop on the commercialization of Public Distribution System Biplab Kumar Deb, the BJP Chief Minister of Tripura said, "Internet and satellite communication had existed in the days of 'Mahabharata'. How else could Sanjaya (the charioteer of King Dhritarashtra in the epic) give a detailed account and description to the blind king about the battle of Kurukshetra? It means internet was there, satellites and that technology were there in this country at that time."
Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb stood by his statement about the existence of internet and satellite communication in the age of the 'Mahabharata', accusing his critics of "lacking nationalism". Governor Tathagata Roy came to the Chief Minister's defence, saying that "prototypes" must have paved the way for present-day.
A new governing trend has set in on the part of the political rulers at the Centre. As the representative of the Central legislature, what they wanted to do directly they carry out through the judicial mechanism. Whenever, they want to do anything contrary to the secular action, the platform of judiciary in being used by them strategically. In respect of any dispute involving the secular feature, the government will present themselves more as respondent in the litigation, raised by individuals. The tactical move from the ruling side is used to be putting arguments in favour of non secular deeds or through abstaining from putting proper arguments to favour secular fervour. The net desired result of verdict on the expected line negating secular feature would be arrived at. The rulers will carry out the verdict as judicial direction, otherwise if carried out by them either as legislative or executive action it would receive stiff opposition.
The rationalists of this country have to face the versatile challenges to upkeep the secular fabric of the country besides strengthening it further. The rationalists cannot and should not adopt violent mode to accomplish the secular agenda which will not solve the problem but divert the direction, planned by them. In this difficult task, we had sacrificed the lives of many rationalist – humanists stalwarts like Dr. Narendra Dhabolkar, Com. Govind Pansare, Prof. K.M.Kalburgi and Journalist Gowri Lankesh and we have to sacrifice more. The journey of rationalists has to continue. The major part of the journey must be allocated to propagate the precarious social and political situations the country faces at present. Enlightening the citizens about it has to be the prime and foremost task of rationalists to cull out the challenges ahead in Secular India.
Any amount of individual functioning both in thought and action will not serve the purpose. Organised mode of functioning in a systematic way with multipronged approach will only facilitate the secular feature of the country which is by and large in infant stage.
Let the rationalists think and act suiting to the changing environment – social, political and economical.
(The excerpts of the speech delivered at Charvagam 2018 – National Seminar on 'Challenges faced by Rationalists in Secular India' organized by Yukthivada Padanakendram at Ernakulam, Kerala on 12th May 2018.)

PKK fighters attack and destroy a Turkish outpost by getting up close and personal. Attacking an isolated and vulnerable bunker with hand grenades and killing several soldiers.
PKK fighters occupy concealed positions in rugged mountains surrounding a fortified Turkish garrison and its satellite OP's. Under the cover of darkness, the Kurds begin shelling and engaging the well light position from multiple directions. Filmed from high up on the mountain, the Turkish position takes a pounding of mortars, RPG's, and heavy machine guns.
With the larger outpost distracted by its own bombardment, the video switches to a GoPro from a Kurdish fighter maneuvering on what appears to be a satellite Entry Control Point (ECP) of the main Turkish position. Moving through the early morning darkness, the Kurds continue to suppress with small arms while they advance on the enemy bunkers.
The cameraman eventually maneuvers through the dimly light chaos and gets himself into grenade range just below the Hesco emplacement. With the morning light just starting to illuminate the situation, he quickly throws several grenades into the bunker in quick succession. After the third grenade detonates with a brain rattling concussion, he then begins sweeping along and eventually around the far side of the bunker.
This exposes several dead Turkish soldiers on the far side of the bunker. Two of them dead in the bunkers entry, likely trying to escape. Several more bodies are observable inside the bunker, as the Kurds quickly sweep the area for enemies and weapons to scrounge. The video concludes by jumping back to the hillside cameraman and his panoramic view of the burning Turkish positions throughout the valley.

Adult Acne
Does adult acne ever go away? It started at age 24 and I am now 44 years old. What causes it?
Hi Kali,
Welcome back. That's great you are on the way to see a specialist about this.
I've attached a link that might be helpful in the meantime.
Best again,
November 22, 2011 - 12:16pm
This Comment
Hi Daisy,
Thanks for the information. I have a referral to see a specialist in the new year. Knowing my lifestyle, your information helps me narrow down what might be going on with me. It's not very bad, just more annoying and you wonder how can I have mature, aging skin with wrinkles and still get acne! KaliNovember 22, 2011 - 7:03am
This Comment
Hi Kali,
Thanks for sharing your story. Some of the causes of adult acne can be cause by hormones, cosmetics, stress, and an increase of resistant bacteria. Some women experience this during their Menstrual also. Depending how severe it is, some can be treated with topical cream or oral medication.

A waterfalls garden is a joy to build and to maintain. Imagine having a splashing, bubbly waterfall to complement your perfectly green garden. The project is easy enough to complete, but before you get started in creating your waterfalls garden there are a few important points to review.
1. Be Nice To The Plants
Aquatic plants should be protected from excessive splashing. Some plants are very fragile, and with the help of a windy day, your fountain spray could reach impressive distances. It is suggested that you separate plants by placing the fountain stream at one end of the pool and some large rocks in between to lessen the current.
2. Don't Waste Any Water
Water is generally cheap, but when you're talking about water escaping from your pond because of strong winds, then it's worth conserving. Make sure the height of your sprayer is not more than half the diameter of the pond.
3. Choose A Pump That's Just Right
A pump should be chosen according to how big your pond is, and how high you want the water to be pushed. The higher you push the water and the more GPH (gallons per hour) the pump circulates the higher the electricity expenses. Will you be leaving your waterfall on constantly? If yes, then energy efficiency is a concern. To determine the capacity of your pool or pond area, multiply the width times the length. This will give you the total cubic inches. Since there are 231 cubic inches in one gallon, you would divide the total by 231 to get your total pool/pond capacity in gallons.
4. Choose A Reliable Water Filter
When choosing a filter, know that mechanical filters are effective but require regular cleaning and replacement. Biological filters, that use bacterial media, will take up more space but require far less maintenance. Remember these points before creating the waterfalls garden of your dreams.

Corporate Australia looks vulnerable to a global climate backlash
There's a striking contradiction at the heart of the developments that dominated Australian business this week. On the one hand, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 equity index rose to fresh highs above the symbolic 7000 mark. On the other hand, there were fresh signs that the nation's capital markets landscape is more vulnerable than previously thought to climate risks - or at least investors' changing perceptions of those risks.
This week, the climate wars that have torn national politics apart for over a decade caused serious ructions in the corporate and investment sphere. BlackRock, the world's largest institutional investor, announced a retreat (of sorts) from the resources sector, as part of what it described as a climate-driven "fundamental reshaping of finance".
Meanwhile, this masthead revealed further fractures in the membership base of the nation's top corporate lobbying group - the Business Council of Australia (BCA). The chief executive of mining giant Rio Tinto Jean-Sebastien Jacques, of all people, has been pressuring the organisation's leadership to change its climate stance.
This emerged after outspoken tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes (also in these pages) savaged the BCA for its claims that deeper cuts to emissions would be "economy-wrecking".
And don't forget James Murdoch, the billionaire scion who was once in line to succeed his father Rupert at the top of powerful global media company, News Corp. He launched an extraordinary attack on that company's Australian newspapers for their climate scepticism.
BlackRock's move to dump shares of companies primarily mining thermal coal has been dismissed by some as a marketing stunt, and in a sense it absolutely is. The firm manages $10 trillion in funds globally, the bulk of which are in passive vehicles that hold whatever shares are in the index.
The move only affects the funds held in its actively managed portfolios. And it only affects companies that generate more than a quarter of their revenue from thermal coal meaning major industry players such as Glencore and BHP would not be affected.
According to at least one rival fund manager's calculations, the new approach would only preclude investment in companies representing just 0.3 per cent of the ASX 200 index.
Yet the move should still be raising alarm bells for local investors and policymakers.
Last year Sweden's central bank decided to dump bonds issued by state governments of Queensland and Western Australia due to climate change concerns. That, in turn, followed an announcement by Norway's giant sovereign wealth fund that it would ditch its holdings in fossil fuel companies, a move that's expected to affect a number of Australian resources companies.
This country's investment landscape is already quite conscious of ESG (environmental, social and governance) factors. Yet if BlackRock's posturing gathers momentum and the global ESG push intensifies, Australia's resources-heavy sharemarket could be susceptible.
All of a sudden, and assuming a worst-case scenario, the sovereign risk and capital flight fears raised in the past could be back on the table.
If that's the case, our failure to develop technology and renewable energy sectors will be more than just a missed opportunity.
If equity markets are indeed underestimating the risks here, it wouldn't be the first time that's happened. During the subprime debt crisis that eventually morphed into the global financial crisis complacency in equity markets was rife.
At least back then debt and money markets were flashing up warning signals. The sustained stimulus from central banks that has pushed up prices of everything since means no such canary in the coal mine in the markets exists now. The warnings this time are arguably in the phyiscal environment.
That being said, the rally that has pushed shares to record highs might well have a lot further to run. And the sceptical investors burnt in the GFC that have sat on the sidelines have missed out on some very substantial returns.
But it seems clear the events of this summer have highlighted Australia's perilous climate change predicament. As both a country and an investment destination.

A woman defied traditional cancer treatment by heading out on a cross-country trip instead of wasting away in a hospital bed. She passed away on San Juan Island last Friday, according to San Juan County Coroner Randy Gaylord.
"This woman who died here has a story that pulls on one's sympathy and sense of courage at the same time," he said.
At the age of 90, Norma Jean Bauerschmidt's husband suddenly died and she was diagnosed with cancer. Instead of spending her final days in a nursing home, she decided to travel across the country in a motor home with her son and daughter-in-law.
Her journey was chronicled on a Facebook page called "Driving Miss Norma." She garnered more than 450,000 followers who were inspired by her journey.
"We couldn't imagine leaving her in a nursing home, especially after walking down the long halls of the local Tender Care to visit Leo in the last room on the right, reserved by Hospice for the dying. No way. There is also no way she could live at home alone without Leo. They were truly a well-oiled team of 67 years," wrote her children on Facebook.
She passed away on her last stop, Friday Harbor, on Sept. 30 at the age of 91.
"Once all the hard conversations are over, all that is left is to enjoy each other's company. We are so grateful," wrote a family member on Norma's Facebook wall on Sept. 18.

Facebook relents amid backlash over terms
Returns to previous terms of service and encourages user involvement to shape policies
Chalk one up for the power of the people! Facebook has now decided to revert back to its previous terms of service (TOS) after users criticised new policies that stated the company owned content from deactivated accounts.
Facebook announced changes to its TOS on February 4th sparking global concerns on privacy and ownership of content. CEO Mark Zuckerberg went on record yesterday to say that the terms were no different from how email services work.
Relenting to public backlash, Facebook has now decided to return to earlier terms where uploaded user content such as photos, notes and personal information would automatically expire once an account was closed. This will remain until new terms can be worked out with the help of all users, which is expected to be completed over the next few weeks.
"Our terms aren't just a document that protect our rights; it's the governing document for how the service is used by everyone across the world. Given its importance, we need to make sure the terms reflect the principles and values of the people using the service," Zuckerberg wrote in his latest blog post.
"Since this will be the governing document that we'll all live by, Facebook users will have a lot of input in crafting these terms," he added.
Users are invited to get involved by joining the Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities group.

Even if you have only recently left university and entered the work force, it's beneficial to look forward to start planning for a sound financial future in your golden years. When getting your finances in order, you'll want to start by forecasting what your budget will look like after you have retired. Bear in mind that your mortgage may be paid off by then, and factor in additional travel expenses and medical bills. Once you have worked out a basic budget, you can then start structuring your assets in a favourable way to prepare for the future.
Set up Retirement Accounts
Your employer may be contributing to a retirement fund. Contact your current and past employers to request an up-to-date statement regarding your pension plan, so that you can start factoring this into your retirement planning. You can also set up a special savings account to contribute to each month to supplement the expected state and private pensions that you will receive. If you start to contribute £150 each month at the age of 30, you can give yourself an additional income of £10,000 per year.
Visit a Financial Planner
Visiting a professional financial planner can help jumpstart your plan. It's recommended to have a full investment plan completed every five years on the road to retirement. Experts at firms such as Lombard Odier can go over your current financial situation with you and make recommendations that will help you invest your money wisely. Financial planners can also help you prepare for the cost of long-term insurance and protecting your estate.
Diversify your Investments
One of the keys to having a reliable source of income as you get older is to invest your money in different areas. Having a main savings account is a great start, but it's also wise to invest in mutual funds and other investment strategies. With the help of your financial planner from a trusted firm such as Lombard Odier, you can work out which types of investment strategies will be most beneficial for your particular case.
Start Estate Planning Early
Procrastinating on estate planning can be a grave mistake, causing stress after you have already retired. You can start preparing for the distribution of your assets by creating a will, assigning a healthcare surrogate, assigning guardianship for your children, and creating trusts. These documents should be updated every two years or whenever you have a major change in circumstances, such as marriage, divorce or birth of a child. By taking care of estate planning early, you won't be hit by lengthy legal disputes or extensive paperwork down the road.
Taking the time to lay the foundation for your retirement early on will pay off as you grow older, so that you can enjoy this time of your life without worrying about financial issues.

University of Calgary research conducted using data from the Alberta Cancer Registry has found that cancer is not only closely connected to lifestyle but it can also be changed in your favour.
It is very possible to significantly reduce the chances of getting cancer simply by making a few easy lifestyle changes, as a person's lifestyle has been found to affect the risk of cancer by just over 40%. Women were found to have a higher summary population risk estimate at 42.4% compared to men at 38.7%.
Researchers estimate 40.8% of incident cancer cases were attributable to 24 lifestyle factors specified in their work, "Overall we estimated 40.8% of cancer cases were attributable to exposure to 24 factors included in our analysis; smoking was responsible for the greatest burden accounting for 15.7%, followed by physical inactivity and excess body weight which accounted for 7.2% and 4.3% respectively."
The risky lifestyle choices attributed as risk factors were clear with their premise:
- Smoking, both active and passive
- Obesity, or being overweight
- Inadequate physical activity
- Inadequate produce consumption, fruits and vegetables
- Inadequate fiber intake
- Excessive red processed meat consumption
- Alcohol consumption
- Inadequate calcium and vitamin D intake
- Oral contraceptives and hormone therapy
- Epstein-Barr virus
- Hepatitis B and C viruses
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Helicobacter pylon
- Air pollution
- Natural and artificial UV radiation
- Radon and water disinfection by-products
A wide range of personal choices available to individuals were concluded to open them up to higher risks of developing some form of cancer. Food was made clear to have plenty to do with individual cancer risks; while exercise and other common avoidable environmental changes can help to prevent cancer.
Attributable items were referred to as modifiable lifestyle and environmental risk factors; meaning they can be changed and their effects in risk levels can be reversed. Findings are useful but not complete, as there was insufficient data on population level exposure on at least one more area the team wanted to explore: medical radiation.
Based on gathered results the study concludes 40.8% of attributable cancer to modifiable lifestyle and environmental risk factors could be understood; largest contributors to cancer burden were: tobacco use; physical inactivity; and excess body weight. If those 3 factors could be eliminated from an individual's lifestyle that person would effectively lower their risk levels for cancer.
Some power is within your own hands even when it comes to these sometimes fatal and infinitely frightening forms of cancer; making simple healthy lifestyle choices can go along way to promoting a healthier, longer, happy life. The power is all yours, use the force within you.

Log in to see which of your friends have seen this movie
The Grand Budapest Hotel tells of a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars and his friendship with a young employee who becomes his trusted protégé. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, the...
Wes Anderson has a unique style that is influenced by everything he has experienced in his lifetime. He is perhaps the best example of the auteur theory. He creates films that one would only need to view a few frames of to know instantaneously who is the creator.
I would like to imagine that all of his films take place in a single universe. For this reason, he makes films that are largely adored and attractive to his audience. The Anderson-verse is one in which we would all love to live in. One full of wit and airy whimsy. People aren't overtly cruel to each other, preferring to engage in pranks and mischief in which everyone has a laugh over.
To live in The Grand Budapest is to be momentarily frozen in time. A period that only dwells in the memory and imagination of those who know of its secluded existence. For me I would like to imagine that the hotel is the mirror image of Kubrick's Overlook Hotel. Winding maze-like corridors, distinctive carpet patterns, old-world charm. Whereas the Overlook was largely vacant during our stay there, we get to see the Grand near its prime and after time mostly forgets all about it. Both hotels are reflections of the world around them as well as of each other.
The influence of the caretaker or concierge is especially obvious. With Gustave H, the Grand flourishes. A grand facade that holds up all too well to cover the cracks in the foundations. But ultimately, nothing lasts forever and change happens whether we want it to or not. The spectacle of control we try to put forth will eventually dissipate when the reality we keep at bay checks-in for a night. And once it checks-out, nothing is ever the same. The grand chandelier is a bit dimmer, the champagne a touch less bubbly, the piano not as emotive.
However, I enjoyed my stay at the Grand Budapest and I shall return soon.
Of course it isn't meaningless. If you saw no meaning, you weren't looking properly.
It's a film about looking back, about nostalgia for an earlier time, and is both supportive and critical of it. The film revels in the fun and excitement of yesteryear, miring itself in the archaic, right down to its aspect ratio. It revels in the retro, delighting in the kind of plots over stolen artwork, cartoonish villainy and madcap chases that seem lost to modern film. Even the central macguffin of the movie is a painting, a preserved snapshot of something that no longer exists.
But it's also highly critical of looking back. The elder Zero keeps the Grand Budapest open, why? Out of nostalgia, of reverence for something long gone. But is he happy? Is he fulfilled? Of course not.
So YES, the film has meaning. It has something to say, a deeper motive to it. Several, if you want to dig deeper. If you choose not to, that's your loss.
One of the nice things about watching a Wes Anderson movie is I can be pretty sure I'm going to enjoy it.
Wes puts his trademark cinematography to hard work here - every scene looks perfectly, intricately laid out. Just like I imagine The Grand Budapest would be in real life, every shot of this movie feels expensive.
Ralph Fiennes is obviously the standout in the cast - the script is well-written but he brings it to life, proving he can work well as a comedic talent. A favourite scene is . Adrian Brody is excellent too, there's not nearly enough of his character.
So yes, another fine Wes Anderson picture. He seems to be moving from cult hero to becoming genuinely famous now, which is something that can only be encouraged.

Albert Schweitzer Quotes About FathersQuotes about: Fathers
It is not enough merely to exist. It's not enough to say, "I'm earning enough to support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good father, husband, churchgoer." That's all very well. But you must do something more. Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who need help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on the mount, and had taught His disciples the 'Our Father.' Even where they are specially relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord.

Sitting outside, enjoying my overpriced coffee and editing a piece of work over the weekend I was distracted by three lessons that simultaneously converged around me.
Lesson One: Fannies
Earlier I had noted three generations of women, clearly related, entering the store. They were all tall, blonde and attractive for their respective ages. Now, as they left I found humor, and maybe delight in the bar graph they inadvertently created as they walked in a row, oldest to youngest. Amazingly, they were all the same height. The young looking grandmother had her hair down and wore a long cardigan that draped just above her knees. The mother, also had her hair down but wore an oversized sweater that covered her buttocks. The college aged daughter had her hair in a ponytail and wore spandex pants with a jacket that stopped at above her waist.
Moral: As people get older they tend to cover up their assets.
Lesson Two: Faith
The store and surrounding parking lot crawled with people in green and yellow football jerseys. This infuriated one Charger fan in a blue and white jersey with bolts on his shoulders. He turned to his friend who was dressed in church clothes.
"They're not real Cheeseheads, they're just jumping on the bandwagon because the Packers are 7 and 0," he said.
"They're winning," his friend replied.
"They're not faithful," Bolt Man replied.
"Faithful to what? People don't follow losers."
"They're top in the division"
"They're 4 and 3," his friend explained, "That's not 7 and 0."
Moral: When you perform .571 of the time many people feel let down and lose faith in you.
Lesson Three: Other People's Goals.
A couple was walking toward their vehicle. The man looked beleaguered and besieged as he headed to the driver's side of his truck. All I heard was the woman say, "Here's your goal for the week..."
They doors slammed shut before I could hear anything else.
Moral: You may feel like you're driving, but if other people are dictating what your goals should be, you're really not.

Cedars Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital Alert | covid-19 (coronavirus) | information for patients and visitors LEARN MORE >>
Hallux Limitus is a painful degenerative condition that needs immediate treatment to prevent worsening of the symptoms. It is essential that you see a doctor if you suspect you may have hallux limitus. At Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital, our podiatrists are here to provide friendly and professional diagnosis and treatment for your specific case.
Hallux limitus is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the big toe joint where the foot and the toe meet. It is most commonly the result of degenerative arthritis. Over time, if left untreated, the big toe stiffens, and can become rigid and painful, another condition known as hallux rigidus.
Anti-inflammatory medication is the most widely used treatment for pain and inflammation.
It is important to see a doctor soon after you start experiencing the symptoms above, as this condition is degenerative and can relatively quickly turn into hallux rigidus, a more serious problem that most often requires surgery.
The doctor will hear your signs and family history, examine your feet and possibly require additional imaging such as X-rays to assess the severity of the degeneration.
There are four stages of hallux limitus:
|Stage 1
Relative pain.
|Stage 2
Moderate pain at shorter intervals; possibly a bone spur on top of the joint.
|Stage 3
Severe pain, a visible bone growth on top of the joint.
|Stage 4
Hallux rigidus.
Are you experiencing symptoms associated with hallux limitus? The highly skilled podiatrists at Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital can answer questions, provide information, and suggest treatment options based on your specific medical condition.

Urban Dictionary – fishing with dynamite: Phrase used to describe anything that can be accomplished easily.
My LA friends were buzzing about a restaurant called Fishing with Dynamite and told me that it was a "must visit" while I was in town. Sue of Birgerbird happened to be one of these friends so we decided that lunch at FWD would be the perfect way to meet up in the offline world.
The morning of our lunch I was flipping through Angeleno magazine and saw that an FWD platter called The Mothershucker had made their top 10 list of dishes to try in LA. A good sign. A little later someone I was chatting with on the beach also told me how amazing the restaurant is and that I had to try their raw scallops. I had never had a raw scallop in my life so I smiled and nodded but thought….maybe.
That afternoon I strolled into the restaurant full of anticipation and I found a cozy, comfy room, full of light and filled with the scent of delicious seafood. The restaurant also had a cute sit down bar area where one of the patrons had brought his parrots in to have a drink with him. I bee-lined to the parrot.
After hanging out with my new parrot friend for awhile, it was time to find my table and Sue and get down to the serious business of eating.
The menu was divided into an old school section of traditional seafood dishes and a new school section of either unusual items from the ocean or fusion dishes for the adventurous palate. I was craving raw oysters (which are full of anti-aging zinc btw) and feeling adventurous, so it was new school for me. To start, I had sweet, succulent Kusshi oysters from my very own province, BC. Then came the adventure. Apparently sea urchins or "uni" are all the rage in California and our server raved about the dish. So I ordered uni along with the raw scallops my beach friend had recommended. And this is what appeared…
When I posted this photo on Facebook, my friend Tammy commented. "I saved one of these the other day by helping it back into the ocean. Never did I imagine, at that time, that it could be lunch." Fair enough. It's appearance does not make you immediately think "Food!"
So, the scallops were sublime with a ceviche-like flavour and the urchin was very interesting with both a buttery texture and seafood flavour. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a new taste sensation.
Lunch at FWD was everything I had hoped it would be. A lovely atmosphere, delicious, exotic seafood and a chance to get to know a very lovely and talented online friend in real life. What more could I ask for?

Advertising Standards Agency confirms that Heathrow and Gatwick aren't actually in London
London City Airport has been cleared over claims made in a radio advert that it is the only airport "actually in London".
The commercial, which aired last summer, was called misleading in a complaint to the Advertising Standards Agency. But City Airport successfully defended it, saying that the claim was based on the fact that it lies within the London postal district (its post code is E16 2PX). Heathrow, on the other hand, while part of Greater London, uses a Twickenham postcode (TW6 2GW). Gatwick, Stansted, and Luton, the three other large airports that serve the capital, lie in West Sussex, Essex and Bedfordshire, respectively (though are still permitted to use "London" in the their names).
A spokeswoman for Heathrow told Campaign, the advertising industry magazine, that it would not challenge the ASA's ruling but maintained that it was the airport best connected with the capital. Heathrow Express services from Paddington take 15 minutes to reach Heathrow terminals 2 and 3.
"Business or pleasure, time is on your side when you fly from London City Airport… the only airport actually located in the city of London," read the original radio ad. "Get closer to the heart of London. From landing to the City or the West End in under 40 minutes. London City Airport. Fast, punctual and actually in London."
Stansted and Luton are sometimes criticised by travellers for carrying "London" in their titles, leading some overseas visitors to believe they are closer to the city centre than they really are. Stansted is, by car, 40.7 miles from Charing Cross, a journey that takes around an hour and five minutes, according to Google Maps. Luton is a shade closer, at 34 miles.
Even further from the city centre is London Southend Airport, at 41.7 miles by car – a journey that takes around 1 hour 14 minutes. But most misleading of all is surely Kidlington Airport, which bills itself as "London Oxford" despite being 61.8 miles from Charing Cross.
There are more inconvenient airports beyond our shores. Frankfurt Hahn Airport is 78.3 miles from the finance capital, Oslo-Torp Airport (favoured by Ryanair) is 73.3 miles from Oslo, while the fastest journey by car from Paris Vatry Airport to the city centre is a 131.7-mile schelp.
