When 12-year-old Dima Al-Wawi returned from 75 days in an Israeli prison, she wasn't the same. "We can't interact with her normally the way we do with the other children, because it might affect her emotionally," her cousin Ali Janazreh said to Palestine Monitor. "Every word we want to say to her, we weigh it, think about it before we say it, think about how it might affect her. We have to be very careful." Dima is the youngest Palestinian girl ever to be detained by the Israeli army. She was arrested on Feb. 9, 2016 on charges of attempting to stab Israeli soldiers at a settlement near Hebron. Since Oct. 2015, a systematic campaign of arrests has increasingly targeted children for offenses such as stone-throwing and carrying knives, creating a new generation of children deeply traumatized by time in Israeli jail. In February, the month Dima was arrested, the Israeli army detained a total of 406 children, one of the highest averages since 2008. And the numbers are rising: according to the most recently available statistics published by Israeli human rights watchdog B'Tselem, as of April 2016, 414 Palestinian minors were held in Israeli prisons as security detainees and prisoners. Palestinian children arrested in the occupied West Bank face difficult, confusing and hostile circumstances from the minute their hands are tied with plastic restraints and they are blindfolded and sent to interrogation in a metal truck, the air-conditioner blasting icy air no matter the season. Child detainees like Dima report being interrogated without a lawyer or parents present, forced to sign confessions in Hebrew, subjected to torture and abuse by soldiers, and kept in solitary confinement. Sahar Francis, Director of Addameer, a prisoner support and human rights association in Palestine, told Palestine Monitor that this type of treatment can scar children for life. "Whenever you're arrested, after a couple of hours you're a totally different person," she explained. "This has a huge impact on the children's lives. I think it never leaves them [...] and this is why in all of the cases I think they need special treatment after they are released, and there are some cases when it's very hard to get over such experiences." The trauma of such aggressive interrogation tactics often causes detained children, who should be presumed innocent until proven guilty, to confess after just a few hours, Francis said. "In most of the cases, they […] finish the interrogation in the detention center because this process of abuse and harassment would cause the child, especially if he is 14 or 13 and its his first [arrest], to confess within the first two hours or less than that." Lawyers also often encourage families to accept a plea deal, effectively affirming the guilt of the child, in order to speed up the trial process, which can take over a year if it goes to a full court. It's rare that a case goes to a trial, and even more unusual for a Palestinian accused of any crime to be acquitted. "Most of the time the court agrees or accepts the arguments of the police and interrogators […] that [the child] was fully aware of his confession and gave it freely. And then there is nothing to fight against in these cases," said Francis. To add to the confusion, Israel uses two separate judicial systems to try Palestinians, depending on whether the accused person is arrested in, the Occupied West Bank or in Israel proper. Palestinians who live in or are arrested in the West Bank are tried under Israeli military law, which gives military courts the authority to "try any person located inside the occupied territory as long as they are 12 years or older," according to Defense for Children International. Palestinians living in Israel and East Jerusalem, on the other hand, if arrested there, are tried in Israeli civil court. Dima, who was arrested in the West Bank, was sent to a military court, as are almost all children arrested there. What should be an exception — trying civilians in a military court — has become the rule. The Israeli army arrests young Palestinian boys between the ages of 13 and 18 on a regular basis, but it is rare to see a female detainee as young as Dima, who was just 12 when she was arrested. "It was so embarrassing for them to justify arresting a 12-year-old girl," said Francis. Dima was originally sentenced to four months and ten days in prison, but after a concerted international media campaign that put pressure on the Israeli government, she was released after two and a half months. It will be a long time before the full effects of her detention become clear to Dima or her family. "There are a lot of changes to her personality since the arrest. She had a shock," confided Dima's father, Ibrahim Al-Wawi to Palestine Monitor. "When she was in prison, those days were terrible days. People would come by and ask where she was, they wanted to talk to her or talk to us about her. We didn't know what to do. At night, her sisters would have nightmares about Dima, what happened to her. If those children here who are with their mothers and fathers, in a safe place like this, [are traumatized], how was it for her when she was alone?" Her personality has changed, too. "Dima before prison used to run and play with her sisters, now she sits in her chair withdrawn. Sometimes I feel she's much older than she really is," her cousin, Ali, said. "Sometimes we talk to her and she stays quiet, hides her head in her hands, as if she doesn't want to be with us." During her interview with Palestine Monitor, Dima was restless, twisting her hands in her lap and whispering pleas to her mother across the room. Do I have to say that? Do I have to talk about this again? She oscillated between ebullient — telling stories about the girl friends she made in prison, many of whom were seriously wounded — and quiet, withdrawn and thoughtful, burying her head in her arms and sighing when asked, for the hundredth time, to describe her experience. To confront the growing phenomenon of child arrests, detention and killings by the Israeli army, the Palestine Medical Relief Society (PMRS) on Monday, June 6, launched a new campaign, "Don't Kill Our Childhood," aimed at protecting children in Palestine from trauma and suffering at the hands of the Israeli army, and reclaiming their childhood and innocence. According to Mustafa Barghouti, founder of PMRS, child imprisonment is one of the biggest challenges the new campaign will tackle. "Children who are imprisoned or detained are suffering. We're talking about kids as young as 5 and 6 years old detained in Hebron, just for a few hours, but that few hours could shock their life and change their life forever," he said. "I believe also that the suffering they have inside the prison and during the arrest and detention [...] the severe violence that is used against them, the humiliation that is done to them […] all of these have a very deep psychological impact on them." Barghouti explained that the recent violations of children's rights, from the spike in arrests after the October 2015 stabbing attacks to the detention of Dima at just 12 years old, represent a systematic assault against children and childhood in Palestine. Thus, the campaign will focus not just on the cause of the problem — the Israeli occupation — but it will also work to stop the Israeli army and security apparatus from mistreating children on a more immediate level.
"I think after 49 years of occupation, I look around and see generation after generation of children who have lost their childhood. But worse than that, during the last years, they didn't only lose their childhood — they are losing their lives.
"I was myself a child in 1967 when we were occupied. I think I lost my childhood that day. I remember that very well because I became an adult overnight," Barghouti said. "I think after 49 years of occupation, I look around and see generation after generation of children who have lost their childhood. But worse than that, during the last years, they didn't only lose their childhood — they are losing their lives. The idea came to us that the best way of meeting this anniversary of 50 years of occupation is by engaging in a humanitarian campaign for the sake of children." Despite systematic arrests and detentions, abuse and torture, collective punishment and house demolitions, Palestinians have remained steadfast in their opposition to the occupation and its harsh practices. Barghouti remarks that the Israeli security apparatus has long searched for the reason for this solidarity, but perhaps they have been looking in the wrong place. "As long as they keep looking for military and intelligence answers, they will not find the answers," Barghouti explained. "Only when they understand the social fabric of the Palestinian people will they understand that that's why we are resilient. We are still here, like many other people who suffered in other countries and finally achieved their freedom." As for Dima, she is determined to finish her education in Palestine, and she's off to a good start. After her release, she began to catch up in school, doing well in her exams and moving into the eighth grade. She wants to become a journalist when she grows up, "so I can show a picture of prisoners in Palestine to the rest of the world." Dima's message to the international audience now? "I want to tell them that there are children in Palestine who can't live out their childhoods. They want to live as children, but the occupation kills them, puts them in jail, and separates them from their families."

The Many Health Benefits of Basil
By Michael A. Smith, MD
Today, it's grown in regions throughout the world, but primarily in France, Greece, Egypt, and the United States. There are over 60 varieties of this potent herb, each differentiated by its leaf appearance and pungency. The most common form is sweet basil, which is most often used in cooking.
With its wealth of nutrients — from hefty amounts of vitamin K and calcium, to high antioxidant oils — basil offers an array of health-enhancing benefits such as protection against DNA damage and reduction of stress.
Additionally, the peppermint-like leaves of basil are loaded with beta-caryophyllene, an anti-inflammatory compound showing promise for use in inflammatory conditions.
Basil Preserves DNA IntegrityAmong basil's most prized benefits is its ability to protect your genetic make-up. Your DNA is packaged in units called chromosomes, which can be damaged by exposure to radiation. The damage can result in free radicals known as reactive oxygen species that alter the genetic material inside cells and cause DNA mutations linked to the growth of cancer.1
Two water-soluble antioxidants found in high concentrations in basil might provide protection against radiation at the cellular level. In a study published in the journal Radiation Research, mice received orientin or vicenin, the water-soluble antioxidants, before being exposed to radiation. Scientists concluded that both of the antioxidants significantly reduced chromosomal damage.2 Awesome!
Basil Kills BacteriaBasil inhibits the growth of disease-causing bacteria. The medicinal effects are attributed to the essential oils found in basil, including rosmarinic acid, linalool and oleanolic acid.3 In a study done by Iranian scientists, basil's essential oils were shown in laboratory tests to be effective in preventing the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.4
This really is important. As many bacteria become resistant to common antibiotics, we need to find alternatives. So searching for natural bacteria fighters, Bulgarian researchers discovered that Basil's essential oils could kill drug resistant bacteria like Enterococcus, Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus.5
Basil Reduces Arthritis PainBasil's essential oils contain multiple compounds; however, eugenol shows the greatest potential for helping people with arthritis. It decreases the activity of cyclooxygenase or COX, an enzyme that increases the production of pro-inflammatory cells and proteins.6
A study performed by the University of Science Malaysia demonstrated how eugenol helps with people with arthritis. Researchers induced arthritis in the right paw and knee of rats, resulting in increased swelling. After 26 days of administering ginger and eugenol oil to the rats, researchers observed significant decreases in both paw and knee joint swelling.7
Picking the Right the BasilHere are some points for picking the right basil:
- Choose fresh basil over the dried form for better flavor.
- Pick fresh-looking, bright green basil leaves.
- Avoid fresh basil leaves with dark spots, cuts, tears, or yellowing.
- Store fresh basil in the refrigerator or freezer.

Coins show Herod built only part of Second Temple walls
Israeli archaeologists have uncovered ancient coins near the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City which challenge the assumption that all of the walls of the Second Temple were built by King Herod.
The coins, which date back to around 15 AD, were found inside a Jewish ritual bath located at the foot of the western wall of the Second Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD, archaeologists said on Wednesday.
Until now, archaeologists and scholars have largely accepted that the Roman king was responsible for construction of both the Temple and its walls in a project completed by the time of his death in around 4 BC.
During the dig, archaeologists found the ritual bath, or mikveh, had been filled in to make way for construction of the wall, part of which was built directly on top of it, with the coins found in the half which was not covered by the foundation stones.
"Until today, accepted wisdom said that all the walls were built by Herod," said Eli Shakoun, an archaeologist from the Israel Antiquities Authority who led the dig with Professor Ronny Reich of Haifa University.
"When we found these coins which were dated about 20 years after Herod's death, we understood that it couldn't have been him who built this part of the wall," he explained.
The find also showed that construction of the walls had taken at least 40 years, which is longer than previously thought, Reich told reporters.
"Herod started building in the 18th year of his reign, which was around 22 BC, and here we have coins (underneath the wall) which date back to at least 15 AD, which show it was at least 40 years," he said.
The mikveh and the coins were discovered in the last two months during excavations of a 2,000-year-old drainage channel which stretches from a site near the Western Wall and the adjacent Al-Aqsa mosque compound and runs under the Old City walls to end in the Arab neighbourhood of Silwan.
Excavation of the 600-metre tunnel has caused controversy as the site is very close to the mosque compound, which houses the third holiest site in Islam and is known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif or the Noble Sanctuary.
The mikveh was uncovered dozens of metres from the Western Wall, one of the holiest sites in Judaism, revered as the last remaining remnant of the Second Temple.
Israeli excavations and construction work in the Old City often stir controversy, particularly around the Western Wall which backs onto the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, one of the most contentious sites in the Middle East conflict.
Israel occupied and later annexed east Jerusalem, which includes the Old City, during the 1967 Six-day War and considers it to be its "eternal and indivisible capital."
But the Palestinians oppose any extension of Israeli control over the city's eastern sector which they want as the capital of their future promised state.

Nano, photonic research gets boost from new 3-D visualization technology
This new technique expands the range of X-ray research possible for biology and many aspects of nanotechnology, particularly nanofilms, photonics and micro- and nano-electronics. This new technique also reduces "guesswork" by eliminating the need for modeling-dependent structural simulation often used in X-ray analysis.
Scientists from the Advanced Photon Source and Center for Nanoscale Materials at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have blended the advantages of 3-D surface viewing from grazing-incident geometry scattering with the high-resolution capabilities of lensless X-ray coherent diffraction imaging (CDI). The new technique, an adaptation of existing detector technology, is expected to work at all X-ray light sources.
"This is the future of how we will visualize structure of surfaces and interface structures in materials science with X-rays," said Argonne scientist Jin Wang, the lead author of "Three-Dimensional Coherent X-ray Surface Scattering Imaging near Total External Reflection", published online this month in the journal Nature Photonics.
By adjusting the angle with which the X-rays scatter off the sample, Wang and fellow Argonne scientists brought the 3-D power of the new imaging technique to the surface layers of the sample. In nanotechnology, most of the atomic interactions that control the functionality and efficiency of a product, such as a semiconductor or self-assembled nanostructure, occur at or just below the surface. Without a direct 3-D viewing capability, scientists have to rely on models rather than direct measurement to estimate a surface structure's thickness and form, which weakens confidence in the estimate's accuracy.
Using grazing-incidence geometry, rather than traditional CDI transmission geometry, scientists eliminated the need for modeling by using the scattering pattern to directly reconstruct the image in three dimensions.
Conventional X-ray imaging techniques allow for 3-D structural rendering, but they have lower image resolution and, therefore, greater uncertainty. Plus, in some cases, the X-rays' intensity destroys the sample. This new APS-designed technique potentially can image a sample with a single X-ray shot, making it non-destructive, a desirable quality for research on biological cells and features formed by organic materials.
Another benefit is the ability to expand CDI viewing from the nanometer to the millimeter scale when the X-ray beamline impinges on the sample at a glancing angle. This innovation allows scientists to relate the behavior of a bundle of atoms or molecules to that of an entire device. This area—the mesoscale, between nanoresearch and applied technology—has been a particularly difficult area for scientists to access. In nanotechnology, this area is thought to hold promise for making stronger, more flexible and more efficient materials. In biology, it connects intercellular behavior with the activity of individual cells and the larger organism.
"Hopefully this technique will be applied to research in biology, microelectronics and photonics," said Tao Sun, a postdoctoral research fellow working at the APS and the first author on the research. "This technique holds great promise because the resolution we can reach is only limited by wavelength, a fraction of a nanometer. So the APS upgrade and other advances in light source and detector technology will easily provide even higher-resolution images than we have achieved in this work."

Hi Fenix,
I just returned back to the game after a 2 years. Can you shoot me an invite to your guild ?
Hello there! I'm a returning player looking to join a guild that is okay with a new player joining their ranks. I played back at launch for about 8 months, but haven't played since then. Generally an easy going player, tend to stick with PvE but am also interested in trying WvW at some point. EST timezone. Do you think I might be a good fit to try FENX out?
I would like to join the guild. My in game name is Devils Trigger.
Hey all, I am a brand new player to the game. Coming from Wow, i'm looking for some new friends and a place to call home. I would love to join your community. I hope to hear back from you soon, Thanks.

Hi there! I'm a returning player. Still a noob in many matters, not so much a noob in a selected few. XD I'm looking for a more casual/social to semi-casual environment, a "harbor" so to speak. I think I've ran into you guys a few times just out in the open/dungeons and you were nice people, so I'd like to join please. Also, I have a buddy who is just starting out and I'm trying to get him a guild too.

Thanks! XD
Is this still available to join? Me and my buddy just bought both expansions. But we are new to guild wars. If you don't mind completely new people we would love to join!!
Hi! i would like to join. I just return to gw2 and just bought HoT. I'm a casual player, usually i play at random time, but usually is at afternoon to night (SEA). My friend also want to join with me, but he is a new player and free user, and he has random hectic work schedules (SEA too). If you don't mind and you need member:
My ID: Luraissu 9681
My friend ID: handjoko.1735
Many ages ago I played World of Warcraft with my pink-haired gnome warlock, and had some pretty epic good times. I was my guild's warlock class officer, and even got into some heroic 25-man raid progression, but alas, after the 2nd expansion, WotLK, the good times eventually came to an end. I played GW, LOTRO, Rift and then SW:TOR when they were all shiny and new, but none of them really had the magic I was looking for. I tried SW:TOR again recently but sadly that community has diminished significantly over the years - I did enjoy the class stories though.
So I saw a YouTube video last week titled "For the first time I'm actually enjoying Guild Wars 2":
So I decided to give GW2 a go over the weekend. I liked what I saw: new players constantly popping up in the newbie zones; an active game forum; a respectful, helpful tone in general chat (mostly); and some solid game play with what appears to be a near infinite range of customization options. So I went ahead and bought the expansions, and am looking forward to get into this game more seriously. I currently have a level 13 Norn Guardian that I intend to make my main toon.
A solid, reliable, welcoming guild run by friendly folks is what I am looking for. What I can offer is a self-motivated, mature (mostly) adult that's seen some action in the MMO wars, and would like to settle into a good one again.
So please if you have a chance to send me an invite and hopefully we can have a nice little chat

Hey guys,
Returning player here. Played from release up to HoT and then just fell away from the mmo scene for awhile. I am returning now and really enjoying the game, but so much has been added! Would love a friendly guild to help me navigate my way back into this. I enjoy all aspects of this game but am really interested in the post 80 pve content. If you guys are still accepting I would love to join
I'm interested in joining as well. Played GW1 for more years/hours than I can remember, GW2 for the first few months of launch but didn't stick with it. Got back into it with the Bless hype, been enjoying it so far and felt like it was time to look for a home (been solo the entire time). Short term looking for more PvE/PvX while I experience the game and learn what I'm doing. Long term looking at WvW as my main time sink tho, willing to switch servers if the guild feels like a good fit
hello, would love to be a part of this guild. just getting back into the game since i stopped back in 2015 when HoT released.
Hello, I'm just a week old in the game and also just bought the expansions.. Hoping you could take me in.
Hello!! I would love to be a part of this guild. It sounds like a place I could call home.
Hello, i'm a returning player who have transfer to SoS today and not create a character yet, looking for a fun and casual guild to enjoy Gw2 together, I'm don't speake english so good but I can read and write well (i think so), so, in a couple of hours i'm will create my character and will start to play, if the guild still inviting I'll be grateful to be part of this community.
Thanks and have a good day.
Hey I would like to join up!
I have a group of friends with me also. I have played the game when it first came out.
It's been 4 years since I last played so I am a bit lost.
I have a level 80 with both expansions, but I plan on playing through the game with a new character.
Got discord, on Sea of Sorrow, eastern time zone, and 21+.
I feel like im a good fit.
Add me Ricky.4596
Invites sent. Welcome everyone.
Heya! Not a returning or new player but been active since HoT came out. Got about six ascended-out characters with two ready for t4s and most of them used in raids.

What are the best uses of different liquid analysis tools?
- Conductivity meters are commonly used for hydroponics, aquaculture and freshwater systems in agricultural, wastewater management and water conditioning applications.
- They measure the level of electrical conductivity in a solution to indicate the quantities of nutrients, salts or impurities it contains. The closer a solution gets to distilled water (i.e. extremely pure), the lower its electrical conductivity rating.
- Conductivity meters work by dropping a small two-electrodes probe into the solution, passing a small current from one to the other, and measuring the percentage of current transferred through the liquid medium.
- Hydrometers are most often used in laboratory and testing/conditioning applications.
- They work using a floating weighted bulb attached to a glass tube (rather like a (similar to laboratory cylinder).
- The device takes a density/specific gravity reading from the solution at the point where it breaks the surface.
- pH meters (or potentiometric pH meters) are used in a wide range of industries and applications, from food production and laboratory experiments to municipal water calibration and harsh environment testing.
- They use electrodes to measure the hydrogen-ion level in water-based solutions, indicating the acidity or alkalinity of the liquid via transferred voltage.
- Theyre available in various formats, including pocket testers, portable pH meters, bench meters and test kits.
- Refractometers (handheld/digital) are used across the food, agricultural, chemical, and manufacturing industries.
- They measure the concentration levels of aqueous solutions.
- They do this by analysing the angle of light refraction through a few drops of liquid, and plotting it on a refractive index.

Today I took Sheeba to the vet to have her auditory system checked and cleaned and just a general look over.We went on the rickshaw, she enjoyed the ride. Here she is with my niece Mahima, when she was visiting us last summer from New Brunswick
She barked at the strays all along the road and had fun.
There was a new man at the vet 's,and he didn 't look impressive at all, so I asked to see the vet the real Mac Coy.But this chutzy little fellow said that he was him (assistant of course).I really had no confidence in him because he looked like a High School student from the lower Middle Class background, as my friend Hyacinth (of Keeping Up Appearances) would quip.But I had to give in, praying that the god of small things would keep my Sheeba safe.
Anyway the lad (I prefer to call him that) gave her 2 shots, had his assistant clean her ears and sold me a sack full of ear and eye drops and pills.I 'm glad Sheeba turned out alright.
On the ride back home she was quite nervous and nearly crowded me out of the rickshaw.Once inside our campus she was her old self.
She gives me that look when she is ready for her Goodnight Cookie.
Where are your manners Sheeba? Give me your paw.
Yesterday and today have been declared very auspicious for Hindu weddings.There are lots of them going on. We have about a dozen hotels and marriage venues /gardens and halls in our neighbourhood. The party music and crackers can become pretty annoying and the dancing in the street when the bridegroom comes in procession.I will try to capture it on lens.
In keeping with the atmosphere, Mom 's watching a hindi flick called Honeymoon Pvt. Ltd. Its a sweet movie.

Monday. You know, I often ponder why everyone hates Monday so much. Sure, it's the start of a new week. Sure, it means that the long haul to the weekend is just beginning. But I think I'd love it if someone had a much more positive outlook regarding Mondays. How about a TGIM button? No? Alright, fine. I suppose instead I'll offer my (somewhat) weekly brain dump here. RIGHT AFTER I GO TO KINKO'S FOR TGIM BUTTONS FOR YOU ALL!
On Raiding and Mistakes
We did well this week, and I'm quite pleased with how we performed. Mostly. We snagged a heroic Shannox kill in roughly 10 pulls on Wednesday night and then started to put some work on Heroic Rhyolith Thursday evening. It did not go as well as we'd have liked it to go, and it was clear that we needed to shore some things up in our strategy. So there was lots of conversation about what to fix, how to fix it, etc. And we decided that we'd take two hours of time on Sunday to continue working Rhyolith.
This is where the mistakes come in.
The plan was to work Rhyolith for the first two hours of our five hour raid night. Then move along to the other two bosses we had up before Rag: Baleroc and Staghelm. We figured the two of those should take and hour, and that would leave us a decent bit of time for Rag on Sunday – and clean up with him Monday if need be. Only after a 10% wipe on Heroic Rhyolith – we decided to push him a little bit longer on Heroic. Only about 30 minutes. But it was still 30 minutes. Of course then when we flipped him to normal mode, which should have been a walk in the park after two nights of heroic work, we fumbled and required a few pulls for the kill.
I know, wtf, right?
No big. We got him, let the raid know that we really need to get some time in on Rag tonight and ask that everyone put on their A-game hats as we move forward. Except it didn't go as smoothly as planned. Baleroc started very poorly. In fact, I was actually shocked at this, as we have an extremely strong healing team. After motivating the healers to eat their wheaties, we get him down. But it took significantly longer than anticipated.
I look at the clock and feel a small wave of panic.
We move to Staghelm. Our first pull was damn near a kill (I can't remember now exactly what went wrong) but then we stumbled for a couple of pulls before finally getting him down. 10 minutes before our raid is set to end. FUCK. Well, Beru, way to go. You did not plan this well at all. (Or I had too much confidence in how long it would take for repeat kills, take your pick). We managed to reclear everything, which was great. But I felt that we really, truly needed a night and a half to ensure a rag kill.
I made a mistake.
Perhaps I shouldn't have given us the extra time on Heroic Rhyolith. But I really didn't think we'd take as long as we did on Baleroc and Shannox. And the raid truly seemed to want to push Heroic Rhyolith. But I wanted to prioritize a 25 man Rag kill this week (recall earlier post about holiday week raiding). And I screwed it up.
We still have a full raid night. But with there being a week between when the raid team was there last and tonight, I'm quite nervous about that being enough time. I left the raid last night with a plea for everyone to realize the importance of tonight's raid. For everyone to refresh themselves on the encounter, watch videos, walk through what they will be doing on the fight as they review. But I'm nervous. I'm nervous we aren't going to reach this goal because I made a mistake. Sure, it's debatable that it was a "mistake". Sure, I'm likely being too hard on myself. But it's important to me – and I misallocated the time needed to meet the goals that were set.
Hell, maybe I'm worried over nothing. Perhaps we will walk in and do an amazing job and that will be that. But if we don't…I'm going to be a bit disappointed. Not in my raid team, but more in myself for not planning as well as I ought to have done. No, it's not the end of the world. Worse shit can and has happened. I won't lose sleep over it – but I'll do my best to make sure I don't make the same mistake again next week. I suppose that is all that you can ask for, isn't it? Learning from your mistakes?
On Being Grateful
One of the things that I don't know that I say enough (here or anywhere for that matter) is how grateful I am that my guild has continued to be strong and push forward. Even through the rough times. Every week you hear of or see another guild that has collapsed under the weight of WoW's 6th year and third expansion. And I've never really acknowledged how grateful I am that it isn't my guild. That we've had the fortitude to keep pushing forward. It hasn't always been easy, and I don't anticipate the road growing any smoother the further down it we travel. But it's definitely something that is worth acknowledging.
In fact, any guild that survived T11 in tact deserves a huge pat on the back. That, in and of itself, was a feat larger that any internet dragon that was killed.
On Alts
Dannie did her first Firelands alt run this weekend. We managed to snag kills on Shannox, Rhyolith and Beth'tilac. Not too shabby for a few hours of work! I didn't find that I had any real huge mana problems with her, but I also made a concerted effort to be smart about how I healed in light of the changes.
As for my other alts? Well, not a whole lot is happening on that front. My hands are still bothering me a bit and after Elentari, I'm not quite ready to jump back into the leveling game just yet. I feel the itch starting – but it's got a bit before I feel the need to scratch it.
On Harry Potter
We are going to see it at the Adult Only theater on Friday night. I'd tell you if you spoiled it for me, I'd have to hurt you, but I've read the damn book. I know how it's going to end. So, you know, whatever. I'm looking forward to the final installment of the movie, and I'm quite tempted to pick up and read through the books again as it's been awhile!
On Reading
I just finished up some Harry Dresden short stories in preparation for the newest installment of the Dresden Series here in a week or so. However, in the interim, I've started reading the Song of Fire and Ice/Game of Thrones series. They were recommended to me by a friend and I had put them on my "when I'm out of things to read" list. But I got hooked on the series on HBO over the holiday weekend – and it didn't take me too long to realize that the series was based on of the books that my friend had recommended. I've picked up the first one and have high hopes for the others!
What have all of you been up to?

IFood assistant : Kraft's killer IPhone application
Who would have thought that a food company could sell an iPhone Application not just for ordering its product?
The iFood assistant developed by Kraft, the world's second largest food company, has turned the tables in mobile marketing for FMCG. Kraft is currently enjoying a rather prominent promotion on Apple's website and in the App Store, which features video interviews with executives involved in the app's development.
What' s great or interesting about this is that Kraft has looked at where it adds value to the its on shelf products and developed a consumer proposition that is purely experiential and consumer focussed. Kraft tapped into its pre existing content base of recipes , cooking videos , add the notion of a meal planner and then added a store locator . The lessons for marketers based on Kraft's success with this iPhone application are many and that the consumers brand experience goes well beyond the product on shelf , or at home in the kitchen or the real moment of truth when its consumed . The experience can manifest as useful helper in everyday activities. Its about the brand but all all the services and value added content surrounding the brands , packaged as a "paid for" but highly useful portable electronic assistant that is "always on" in your pocket or bag. One touch away. Its also that fact that it is a conduit or exclusive channel for brand communications that can be entertaining and engaging and that it can extend offers , and potentially coupons as well.
Kraft is cleverly delivering its brand through the application, and using it as a advertising platform but it's also driving new revenue streams from its cut of sales on the App Store — its a shining star in the field of branded iPhone applications. Why? because user experience is centred around and wanted valuable services and their info-tainment value , not just being branded advertising app.

MOFFETT FIELD, CALIF.--Thirty San Francisco Bay Area high school students entering their senior year this fall will soon participate in a new robotic summer course offered by Carnegie Mellon University at its West Coast Campus at Moffett Field, Calif. The course is being offered in collaboration with NASA's Ames Research Center and the National Hispanic University at San Jose, Calif.
Students in the "Robotic Autonomy" program will build, program and operate their own vision-based, mobile robots as they learn about the electronics, mechanics and computer science of robotic systems. The college-level class will culminate with an autonomous robot contest in August. After the course is completed, graduates of the program will take their robots home for more experimentation. Each robot is worth more than $1,000.
Many of the 30 students in the program are Hispanic high school students from the San Jose area, including the new Latino College Preparatory Academy located on the National Hispanic University campus. Since May, the students have been preparing for the course by attending classes in mathematics for robotics, as well as classes in the C++ and JAVA computer languages, which are necessary to program the robots.
"We are delighted to host the Robotic Autonomy program with Carnegie Mellon University, a renowned leader in computing and robotic technologies," said Ames Center Director Henry McDonald. "This is an excellent opportunity to provide world-class instruction in robotics to these young students, while helping to meet the educational outreach goals of the NASA administrator," he said. "I am particularly gratified that more than half of this first class is comprised of minority students sponsored by the National Hispanic University."
The seven-week Robotic Autonomy course will be held from July 1 to Aug. 16 in Building. 17 at NASA Research Park. Media are invited to attnd an opening day rception July 1 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. , PDT, in Building 17. The class will be taught by Illah Nourbakhsh, assistant professor of robotics at Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute in Pittsburgh. Nourbakhsh is co-founder of the institute's Toy Robots Initiative and conducts research in electric wheelchair sensing devices, robot learning, theoretical robot architecture, believable robot personality, visual navigation and robot locomotion.
"Our students will be building sophisticated, vision-based mobile robots during the first two weeks of the course, and programming them to solve increasingly challenging problems throughout the summer," Nourbakhsh said. "Because these robots have vision capability, they will be able to move quickly both indoors and out, even over and around obstacles.
"At the end of the program, each student will take his or her robot home to keep. The robots will provide them with an unprecedented opportunity to continue to learn about and experiment with robotics," Nourbakhsh said. He noted that every student graduating from the robotic autonomy course will receive 12 units of Carnegie Mellon University credit, transferable to any college or university of their choosing after they complete their high school studies. The Robotic Autonomy course represents Carnegie Mellon's first outreach program on its West Coast campus at the NASA Research Park. Courses leading to master's degrees in software engineering and e-business will begin in the fall.
"We are excited to begin this joint venture with NASA for community outreach in the Silicon Valley," said Raj Reddy, Carnegie Mellon's Herbert A. Simon university professor of computer science and robotics and director of the West Coast campus. "This program exemplifies our commitment to an active, stimulating and challenging educational process."
The West Coast campus is a branch of Carnegie Mellon University, which is known as one of the world's premier institutions for information technology research and education. It is also known for its strengths in engineering, fine arts, business, public policy and computer science. University officials have been working to establish a campus in Silicon Valley since 1999 and have been working with officials at NASA Ames as they develop the NASA Research Park at Moffett Field.

Mar-25-08 COAH Adopts New Affordable Housing Income Limits
COAH Adopts New Affordable Housing Income Limits
TRENTON, N.J. –The Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) today adopted new income limits for New Jersey's six housing regions. The limits are based on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Section 8 income limits for the state's six housing regions, which are defined by COAH. They can be viewed by logging on to http://www.nj.gov/dca/affiliates/coah/reports/incomelimits.pdf.
Income limits are used to determine the eligibility of low and moderate-income households, to price new sales and rental units, and to index the maximum resale price of existing sales units. While income limits vary across housing regions, they are also adjusted for family size. Low-income households are defined as earning 50 percent or less of the median gross household income for households of the same size within the same housing region. Moderate-income households are defined as earning between 50 and 80 percent of the median gross household income for households of the same size within the same housing region. COAH also calculates the income limits for very low income households earning 30 percent or less of median gross household income, as affordable housing available to this segment of the population is now eligible for bonuses and these households are eligible for financial assistance under the development fee regulations in COAH's third round rules.
Affordable rents and sales prices can be raised a maximum of 3.0 percent, according to the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI). However, as with market housing, developers, landlords and owners may ask for less than the maximum permitted prices in order to sell or rent units.
COAH, an affiliate of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, facilitates the production of sound, affordable housing for low and moderate income households by providing the most effective process to municipalities, housing providers, nonprofit and for profit developers to address a constitutional obligation within the framework of sound, comprehensive planning.

Proposed definitions
- lei quantification discussion
- This may already be covered here, but I (rlpowell) want to report something mentioned by PC, for future reference: Quite another problem with the cited reference. It seems to say that {ro lo rozgu} and {ro rozgu} are equivalent, as I hope they are not. The first talks about each and every one of a bunch of roses (which roses to be worked out from context if necessary) while the second talks about each and every rose, period, essentially {ro da poi rozgu}, so not equivalent (as far as I can tell).

Chocolate Sesame Ice Cream with Tahini
It is fascinating that every family has its own unique food culture. Each person's preferences and quirks all come together to create this culinary superpersonality that resides in the kitchen. Our's is named Charles. Like Charles from MASH, a show for which we have an odd obsession. Both of these Charles are fussy and arrogant. Charles is the presence that demands peanut butter in savory dishes. Only savory dishes. Not sweet ones. He definitely eschews the classic chocolate and peanut butter combination. Charles declares that no whole or chopped raw tomatoes are to be used. Tomatoes have to be pureed into a state that shows no sign that a whole tomato fruit with pulp and seeds and insides actually existed. Charles is squeamish around raw mushrooms, but not cooked ones. Charles will eat green apples raw, but never ever cooked, which means no apple pie. You get the picture. I personally had a recent craving for chocolate and peanut butter. But our friend Charles wouldn't be into that. It occurred to me that tahini, a preferred ingredient of his, can sort of act like peanut butter. And though it may have started out as a compromise dessert, letting me curb my craving for chocolate and peanut butter without actually subjecting Seth, I mean "Charles," to being in proximity to said combination, it became something more. The tahini lends a wonderfully subtle earthiness to the chocolate, while the roasted sesame seeds became fun little crispy surprises with each bite. It came into its own, satisfying everyone. Even Charles.
1 cup whole milk
6-8 ounces good chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup cocoa powder
pinch salt
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup tahini
¼ cup roasted sesame seeds
In a large microwaveable bowl, whisk together the milk, chocolate, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Microwave gently in 20 second intervals, stirring between each one. Once the chocolate has melted completely, stir in cream, vanilla, and tahini. Chill. Place in ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's directions. Stir in the sesame seeds when the ice cream is about 2/3 of the way churned. Finish churning, then eat!

Wow, what an interesting use of tahini! I love that subtle sesame flavor that it imparts and can see it being totally complementary to chocolate.ReplyDelete
I cook a lot of dishes with sesame seeds or sesame paste, yet I've never thought of use them with chocolate! I'm super intrigued!! LOVE IT!ReplyDelete

I would of never thought to match tahini with chocolate! It makes perfect sense and if "Charles" likes it I'm sure it was delicious! I have 2 Charles in my family.ReplyDelete
I've always loved MASH too, but Hawkeye was always my weak spot!ReplyDelete
Never in my mind would think that Tahini goes with Choco.. and I am blown away right now.. I am starting to think my treats are boring, and I need to put on my thinking cap and think a lot more ;). Definitely a keeper and I am just waiting to invest in an ice-cream maker.. xoxo, JoReplyDelete

"He ain't heavy, he's my brother."
– Roe Fulkerson
"And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?"
Genesis 4
I am a secular atheist, however I have read the Old and New Testaments completely.
Genesis 4
1And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
10And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
23And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
In 1924, the first editor of Kiwanis Magazine, Roe Fulkerson, published a column carrying the title "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". Dated September 1924, the article speaks of Fulkerson's inspiring encounter with "a spindly and physically weak lad" carrying a baby and "staggering towards a neighboring park".
" 'Pretty big load for such a small kid' I said as I met him. 'Why, mister,' he smiled, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother.' "
Rufus Wainwright – He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother Lyrics
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another.
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
I had a very good discussion with a friend on Facebook. He told me that the American objection to socialism and a social safety net was the term "Nanny State". My response to him–and it came immediately–was, "The correct term is 'My Brother's Keeper State'".
Suddenly, it became obvious to me that by refusing to adopt socialism as national policy USAmericans were as a country bearing "the mark of Cain" in the global community and among other first world nations.
Republicans hate maternalistic government. Democrats hate paternalistic government. It is time for fraternalistic government.
I urge all USAmericans to adopt socialist policies as their brother's and sister's keepers.
Adopt universal healthcare, universal education and universal employment insurance.
No American is too heavy for another American.
No one on Earth is too heavy for anyone else on Earth.

Prosecutor: 'Considerably more victims' in NKY molestation case
Bond kept at $200k
A man accused of drugging and molesting a 13-year-old boy at his home may have other victims, prosecutors say.
Michael Schweitzer is charged with first-degree sodomy and unlawful transaction with a minor. Police records indicate that Schweitzer has "made statements and admissions to the above acts."
Schweitzer was in court Monday asking for a reduction in his $200,000 bond.
But a prosecutor asked for the bond to be increased because there were "considerably more victims." He also questioned Schweitzer's claim that he was indigent when he lived in a $320,000 home.
The judge kept Schweitzer's bond at $200,000 and dismissed his court-appointed attorney, telling him to secure a private attorney.
Some of the suspected victims and their families attended the hearing.
