Santiago Alegado Barceló-Juana Peñalosa House
AKA Dr. (Pablo) Tumaliwan's, Valencia House
Jose Rizal and Sta. Catalina Sts.
(present holder: Guillermo Valencia, an heir [son] of Catalina Osmeña-Valencia)
— — — — — — —
One of Arcadio Barceló and Modesta Alegado's younger children, Santiago (1834-1891), married a Cebu City lass, Juana Peñalosa, one of the Peñalosa sisters of note. One sister, Bernabela, was reported to having called for the contruction of the bridge leading to the poblacion of Barili—with her own funds.
Santiago and Juana had only two children who survived to adulthood, Romana and Silvino.
Romana married Rufino Suico Cui from Cebu City. One of their children, Severina, married another Cui, Angel Alfáfara Cui, a grand-nephew of Don Pedro Cui, Angel being a grandson of Pedro's older brother Guillermo who had taken up residence in Carcar. Romana died in 1903 and Rufino remarried, to Manuela Baracao in 1908. Silvino had died even earlier in 1896.
The children of the two divided the estate, by which partition Silvino's only surviving child Cornelio Velez Barcelo could be said to have gotten one-half of the entire estate and the other half shared by Romana's four adult children—Pastor (whose only daughter Remedios married Inocentes Alesna Alcordo), Teresa (married to Vicente Ricablanca Barcenilla), Severina (above) and spinster Antonina. The descendants of these branches rotate responsibility over the family's St. Peter carroza during Holy Week and, presumably by extension, its renowned rooster on the perch.
For several years previously, the strategically situated house had been rented to Dr. Pablo Tumaliwan, a dentist and it served as his family residence and clinic. That's why more people in the town refer to it as Tumaliwan's house than those who knew it was originally the Barcelos', and after a Valencia heir took residence, is now also called as Valencia House. People said the house was transferred to Catalina (Nyora Taring) Osmeña-Valencia on account of its being pawned to her by a carefree Cornelio.

Some observations from a classroom
Kenneth J. Bernstein – If you were to start on Independence Avenue from where it splits off from Pennsylvania Avenue NE at Third Street and head east, as you get to RFK Stadium you loop around the circle and then cross the Anacostia River on East Capitol Street. A few miles later on your left is an aging junior high school building that houses a non-profit charter Middle School and companion High School. I teach in the former.
Knowing several of the staff, and having visited the school previously, I thought I was prepared. I knew the population was very much at-risk. I had no idea.
I teach 7th grade Social Studies – Ancient World History. The students are all African-American, from Wards 7 & 8, the poorest parts of the District of Columbia. We are just several hundred yards inside the District from its boundary with Prince George's County Maryland. The students are supposed to wear uniform shirts, different by grade, which most of them do. I knew that many came from families that at best struggle, some from single parent households, some living with relatives other than their parents. Still I was not prepared. I did not expect a small 7th grade girl who walked into my room – she is due to give birth on January 23, when she will still be 12 years old.
I am told that she will be the 2nd 7th grader to give birth this year.
I was taken back to my first year of teaching at Eleanor Roosevelt HS in 1998. I had a young lady who was pregnant at 15, having gotten pregnant deliberately as a means of getting emancipated – she had an abusive father who would demand she get an abortion, so she showed up before a Catholic judge who emancipated her. I had another student who missed a lot of school taking care of her "little brother" – she was new to that school at age 17 so it took us a while to figure out that it was actually her son, apparently by her step-father. But we could not intervene without evidence, she turned 18, and then she dropped out.
But there is a world of difference between 12 and 17, and still a wide gulf between 12 and 15.
I have not seen all 65 students on my rolls in the two days so far. Some I have seen on only one day. Attendance for some is a real problems. From day to day some students can be focused one day then the next totally off the rails.
It is not that they are bad kids. Far from it. I have a couple who are very smart, some (mainly but not exclusively girls) who really want an education and who resent the class clowns who want to disrupt. Others sometimes are focused and others get pulled into the silliness. Some of the smart ones don't want their academics to disqualify them from being accepted back in their neighborhoods.
But they are still kids.
We had a team meeting yesterday to talk about those children in academic jeopardy. There will be some home visits, although so far I have not been asked to go on those (and if I am, it will always be with one of the other team members, all of whom are African American women). For others ,talking with parents could be counter-productive: imagine the worst kind of discipline and perhaps you can figure out why. For them we will have them sit with a group of their teachers to try to reach them.
Some children are needy – of attention, of affirmation.
Many do not know how to draw limits, so they push the boundaries, regularly.
This requires great patience. I will go pretty far before I come down and say no more. This can be exhausting, because it is important that I always stay calm.
For now I have a man who is regularly in the school who knows the kids as an assistant. This enables me to focus on the academics and not have to constantly address inappropriate or even deliberately disruptive behavior, of which there is at this point far too much.
I know I am starting to reach a few kids. I have pulled some aside to talk with them and begun to get a response. Some are starting to show some interest by the questions they ask.
The other teachers on the team are telling me what the kids are saying, which they view as positive.
I am the only white teacher in the Middle School. The head counselor is a white woman who is as sharp as a tack. The principal is a vibrant African-American man with long dreadlocks. People work at the school by choice because they are committed to making a difference in the lives of these children.
Yesterday i dropped my spouse off at her place of employment on Capitol Hill. I drove for about 10 minutes, including being stopped at lights. I was still in the District of Columbia, less than 5 miles as the crow flies from the Nation's Capitol Building. But I was in a world of which most of those who represent us there cannot conceive.
At the end of the school day I am close to exhausted, but still have more work to do. I am still learning the culture of the school. I have to adapt because having a consistent structure is critical for many of these children. Yet what I bring is high expectations for all of them, a determination to challenge them yet assist them in learning and moving forward.
On the first day the students filled out an information sheet, some very reluctantly. Many claimed not to know home phone numbers – it could be they don't have a home phone, or that they have been taught not to divulge information to anyone. I asked them to share some of their aspirations – what they would like to be when they grow up, where they might want to attend college, what they like to do outside of school. I gave them a chance to ask me questions. Yesterday in each class I took about 10 minutes to go over what they had written, answering questions, or perhaps talking about their aspirations. For some of the boys it helps connect when I can talk about former students who are in the NBA or the NFL. For the young man who wants to be an FBI agent I can share about our brother-in-law who is a Supervisory Special Agent. They are curious about why I came to the school. When I told one class that after I had agreed to finish the year at the school I received some inquiries about political or governmental work that would pay substantially more a couple of kids have trouble grasping that I would turn down more money, but when I explained that there were things more important than money, that I was there because they deserved an education, I saw some signs of recognition on at last a few faces.
I have 17 years of teaching, four previously in middle school. I am considered at least a very good teacher – on my bad days. On my good days I am often described as a master teacher. But I am in a setting unlike any I have ever experienced. It does not make me a complete novice, but I have to be willing to be changed, to learn quickly, to take guidance from others. The administration knows this, is supportive, and lets me know that. My assistant principal has told me she is pleased with what she is seeing. The 7th grade counselor, who is there because she wants to make difference, asked me why I came out of retirement for this job. I explained the respect I have for the people I knew at the school, and like them I thought it important to try to make a difference in the lives of young people.
Young people – kids, most of whom are 12 years old.
Whose lives are very different than anything I have ever experienced.
Whose lives and education should be just as important as those in our wealthy suburbs.
I teach less than five miles from our nation's Capitol, in a setting that remains invisible to far too many who make policy based on flawed and incomplete data without ever seeing the reality of the children.
I have never been so stretched, as a person nor as an educator.
And I may have never done anything quite so important.

Senior Sarah Maskwa (4th from the left) with some of the 1,250 UNH Relay for Life participants who together raised more than $130,000 to fight cancer.
Sarah Maskwa has the same bad reason to participate in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life as many people do: Someone she loved very much died of cancer.
In Maskwa's case, it was her grandmother. As a young girl, Maskwa spent a lot of time with her yiayia (Greek for grandmother) and remembers "one of the most wonderful women that I have ever known" singing and dancing around her kitchen.
Those memories led Maskwa to sign up for Relay for Life her first year at UNH. And to return during her sophomore and junior years to chair the fundraiser's development committee. This year, Maskwa, a nutrition major minoring in Greek, was one of the event co-chairs, helping to organize nearly 100 teams and more than 1,200 participants for the cancer-fighting walkathon that took place April 27-28.
Relay for Life teams raise money by committing to take turns walking, jogging, or running around a track for 24 hours straight. Each team of eight to 15 people has to have a representative on the track at all times during the event.
Maskwa called her grandmother "the backbone that stands me up during those long hours on the track."
"Her spirit for life is something I have tried to emulate with all my heart and that is my driving source behind my connection with Relay for Life. I relay so that people can have the chance to live their life, to have more birthdays, and to never have to stop dancing," the Somersworth native said.
This is the 10th year of Relay at UNH. What started with a committee of six in 2004 has evolved into a team of 35 organizers, and is still growing. In 10 years, UNH's Relay for Life has raised more than $1 million, and has repeatedly earned a National Top Five Per Capita Youth Award from the American Cancer Society. The award recognizes the fundraising efforts of colleges and universities with an enrollment of 10,000-15,999.

Heat to raise banner, then host Celtics
The last time the Boston Celtics played a game that truly counted, they had to endure a Miami Heat celebration.
New season, same deal.
Only this time, the party will come before tip-off — not after the final horn.
LeBron James gets his long-awaited first championship ring Tuesday night, when the Heat pay homage to last season's NBA title with a pregame banner-raising ceremony. Dwyane Wade will get his second ring, Heat President Pat Riley his eighth, and the party is the prequel to a Celtics-Heat rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals that went seven games before Miami advanced.
''We'll honor and respect what we were able to accomplish before the game,'' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
There's another major story line, of course. It's the first time the Celtics will face Ray Allen as an opponent since he left Boston over the summer and signed with Miami, a decision that his former coach and teammates were most unhappy about.
''It's just another basketball game,'' Celtics guard Rajon Rondo said.
No, it isn't.
Even Celtics coach Doc Rivers acknowledges that much. After all, it's Boston-Miami.
''If we win, do we get a trophy? We get one win and that's it,'' Rivers said. ''And if we lose, which we don't want to do, we get one loss and it doesn't mean we still can't win it. But at the end of the day, we're all human. ... These games, they don't really have more meaning, but they do have more meaning.''
It's the first marquee game of the season, but not actually the first game of the season. That distinction goes to the Washington-Cleveland matchup, which starts on the Cavaliers' home floor about an hour before Heat-Celtics.
The NBA's three-game opening slate concludes in Los Angeles, where the revamped Lakers, now with Steve Nash and Dwight Howard to play alongside Kobe Bryant, play host to the Dallas Mavericks.
In Miami, there have been a slew of upgrades at the arena over the summer — slightly different looks here and there, a new nightclub and restaurant, more concessions and bars for ticketholders to enjoy. The Heat will even offer fans the chance to purchase championship-ring-related merchandise, designed in the same manner as the players' title-reward jewelry.
The upgrades extend to what's going to be on the court as well.
Miami kept its championship rotation intact, while adding Allen and Rashard Lewis to the mix. Allen knows it will be unusual to see the Heat get their rings, especially since five months ago, he was busy trying to thwart their title march.
''I'm excited for these guys, having spent time around them over the last two, three months, getting to know them and their families,'' Allen said. ''I'm happy for them that they won, but at the same time, they beat me and put us out. I understand the emotions that Boston will feel, watching the whole ceremony. But at the same time I'm excited for these guys. And once it's over with, it's business as usual.''
Boston's roster looks improved, even without Allen. Jason Terry was signed to bolster the Celtics' bench, there's an influx of youth in the rotation, Jeff Green is back after heart surgery, and the remaining Big Three — Rondo, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett — are loaded up for another championship push.
Still, the rivalry and the Allen reunion, make no mistake, weigh heavily on both sides. Neither Garnett nor Pierce has spoken to their former shooting guard since he signed in Miami.
''We're not going to make this into a Ray Allen or Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rondo thing,'' Pierce said. ''Right now my focus is on playing in the game tomorrow versus the Miami Heat. Everything's that happened has already happened. He's here. He's happy to be here. We wish him the best for his family and the situation, but I'm more focused on the Boston Celtics.''
It's the second ring-night in Heat history.
It's almost certain to go better than the first one after Miami's 2006 title.
Any mention of the 108-66 score from that Chicago-Miami opener still makes Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem cringe. They're the last two players remaining in Miami from that Heat team, which endured the worst opening-night loss ever for a reigning champion.
''I just remember we got beat,'' Wade said. ''I don't remember the game. That's how long ago that was. Different time.''
Haslem remembers plenty.
''It sticks,'' Haslem said. ''But it's six years later. You learn and you move on and you try not to let it happen again. We've got a different group of guys. We're smarter, me and Dwyane are. And we understand the challenges of defending the title now. We were naive. At that point, we thought we could do it again the next year and just do it again and do it again and do it again.''
Well, actually, that is James' goal.
He didn't come to Miami for one title. He came for multiple ones. That's one of many reasons why even he's downplaying the ring ceremony and placing his focus squarely on another marquee matchup with Boston.
That being said, he's not overstating it, either.
''Game one doesn't determine who's the better team,'' James said. ''I mean, it's game one.''

Ronaldo breaks Messi's record for Champions League goals in a calendar year
Ronaldo equalised for Real Madrid in their 2-2 draw at Juventus and now has 14 goals in the competition in 2013 - one more than Messi in 2012.
Cristiano Ronaldo has broken the record held for Champions League goals scored in a calendar year after his second-half strike for Real Madrid at Juventus on Tuesday - overtaking the mark previously set by Barcelona's Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo latched on to a Karim Benzema pass in the 52nd minute and beat Gianluigi Buffon with a right-footed finish to level the scores at 1-1 after Arturo Vidal had blasted the Bianconeri in front from the penalty spot in the first half.
It was the Portuguese's eighth goal in four Group B games this term and his 14th in the Champions League this calendar year, a total which sees him surpass Messi's 13 strikes in 2012.
Ronaldo's goal was his 59th in the Champions League. The Portuguese now trails only Messi (63) and Raul (71). He also needs just one more strike to set a new group stage record currently shared with Hernan Crespo, Filippo Inzaghi and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Messi, meanwhile, can add to his tally for Barca on Wednesday at home to AC Milan. The Argentine has hit seven goals in the Champions League in 2013, having been restricted by injury at the end of last season and also at the beginning of the current campaign.

Protecting Wireless Microphone Use in Future Spectrum Auction
January 30, 2013
In the past two years, wireless microphones have been moved around the broadcast spectrum to make room for new electronic devices entering the market place – causing confusion and new equipment costs. This month, the League has joined other national performing arts groups urging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to protect the use of wireless microphones as a new broadcast spectrum auction takes place and the airwaves are once again re-organized. As a member of the Performing Arts Wireless Microphone Working Group, the League has submitted comments to the FCC urging protections to ensure that performing arts organizations may continue to use wireless microphones without interference and additional burdensome equipment costs.
The comments urge the FCC to provide adequate interference protection for the full range of performing arts microphone users. We ask the FCC to expand the eligibility of organizations to obtain Part 74, Subpart H licensing, which would enable large venues that exceed the capacity of two safe-haven channels for wireless microphone use to find relief through a geo-location database without the customary 30 day waiting period. For small and mid-sized performing arts organizations, the working group emphasizes the need for the FCC to continue reserving two safe-haven channels to provide sufficient interference protection. The written comments also point out the high cost of transition already borne by the performing arts sector in the last required move– a cost the sector can ill-afford when the FCC inevitably directs wireless microphone users to move again. To that end, the working group proposes that the costs of moving be shared by those entities moving into spectrum currently being used by performing arts wireless microphone users. Finally, the working group requests that the FCC provide reasonable time for transition once digital sound equipment is deemed ready for professional use and also to provide reliable guidance for wireless microphone purchasers, such as an easily accessible link to database searches that will show safe-haven and other available channels for specific locations. Read the complete comments, and contact the League's Washington, D.C. office with any questions.

I've been working over the past week through various channels to prepare the way for the swiftly-approaching publication of The Star Shard. It's an exciting time!
As part of this initiative, I've set up an author page on Goodreads. If you don't know about the site, this is an unabashed plug for it! Believe me, I'm not a fan of popular Internet time-drains. But I think most of you would agree with me that Goodreads rises above the morass. If you love to read, the site is worth checking out. It's free, it's easy to sign up for, and it's a great way to connect with people who like the same kinds of books you do — or simply to find out about books that you may not have encountered yet. In the first twenty-four hours after I got onto the site and started rating books I've enjoyed and marking books I'd like to read, an acquaintance of mine (a friend of a friend) noticed one of the books I'd tagged and was delighted to discover it — he hadn't known it existed, but he'd been wishing it did. That's one way the site can work.
Anyway, I'll end the commercial there. If you're interested, you can explore the wonders for yourself. I just wanted to bring a couple things to your attention:
1. I wrote a quiz on Dragonfly that (I think) is a lot of fun. It has 13 questions, and some are apparently trickier than I thought — last time I looked, no one had gotten a perfect score. If you've read Dragonfly and would like to test your knowledge of the book — or even if you'd like to enjoy the questions and multiple-choice answers, which I had a GREAT time coming up with — then I'd encourage you to get onto Goodreads and take the quiz! I think the best way to find it is to look up Dragonfly on the site, click on the book, and if you scroll down on the book's page, you'll find the quiz.
2. Also on Goodreads, I'm leading a Q&A session from now until the end of January. I seeded it with four discussion threads, but discussion members can introduce new ones. If anyone is at all inclined, this is something I'd greatly appreciate your help with! I'm trying to generate a buzz for the new book's release. If you can spare a few minutes to drop by and ask me even one question, that would help! If people start participating, I think it could get quite interesting. To find the discussion, either search for me on Goodreads or click on my name wherever you see me listed on the site, and on my page, (again) if you scroll down, you should come to the discussion; then just click on the topic you want to follow. If you're able to help out with this, thank you very much!
Finally, let's talk about some interesting words. (Yes, this is a groink, a major change of subject.)
I've been thinking lately about the phenomenon of toponyms, those words in our language that began as the names of places (topos is the Greek word for "place"). For example:
solecism — This has come to mean "an ungrammatical combination of words in a sentence; also, a minor blunder in speech"; "something deviating from the proper, normal, or accepted order"; or "a breach of etiquette or decorum." But did you know that the word comes from the ancient Cilician city of Soloi, where "a substandard form of Attic was spoken"? So a soloikos, an inhabitant of Soloi, was a "speaking-incorrectly-one."
gasconade — "bravado, boasting" — This word has come from the Gascony region of southwest France, bordering Spain; the Gascons were apparently known for boasting and exaggerating their successes. The word became common in English in the 1700s.
Cimmerian — "very dark or gloomy; stygian" — The Cimmerians were a mythical people "described by Homer as dwelling in a remote realm of mist and gloom." Another source I found adds that this land was "in the west" (from the Hellenic point of view), and that the Cimmerii (the people there) were nomadic and were mentioned by Herodotus.
laconic — "using or involving the use of a minimum of words; concise to the point of seeming rude or mysterious" — I remember once reading a great story about the origin of this word. When the enormous Persian army came to the gates of the Spartan city of Laconia, the Persian envoy, in an attempt to get the Spartans to surrender, yelled: "If we take this city, we will kill all the men and lead the women and children away as slaves!"
The Spartan general returned the one-word answer: "If."
As the story goes, the Persians were unable to conquer the city, and they eventually withdrew.
[The definitions I've written above are from my Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary.]
What got me thinking about toponyms was good old Dictionary.com, which led me to a couple of these. So, yeah, I guess this is another commercial! In the brief time I've been receiving Dictionary.com's free daily word, I've written down several ideas for use in books and stories. I would highly recommend the word-a-day to writers and to anyone who loves words!
I'll close with a couple more cool ones:
Words such as "sense" and "sensibility," which have a common root, are paregmenons.
And the shape of a 20-sided die (a 20-sided polyhedron) is an icosahedron.
Yes, I get a little crazy when I haven't written fiction for too long! I can feel the charge building . . . it's going to arc any day now, and we're going to have some lightning!

Cruise giant Carnival is suing the Alabama shipyard that took in the Carnival Triumph earlier this year after it lost power at sea, Mobile's Press-Register reports.
The Press-Register says Carnival is blaming Mobile's BAE Systems shipyard and several related entities for what it says is more than $12 million worth of damage that occurred to the vessel during a storm that swept across the facility.
The Carnival Triumph broke free from its moorings at the shipyard during the April 3 storm, which was accompanied by wind gusts approaching 70 miles per hour. The ship drifted in the Mobile River before hitting another vessel, and damage to the Carnival Triumph included a noticeable 20-foot-long gash across its stern.
In its complaint, Carnival calls the moorings at the shipyard defective, the Press-Register says.
The suit also names Bernadette Johnson, the widow of a shipyard employee who died during the storm, according to the news outlet.
The BAE Systems shipyard took in the Carnival Triumph for repairs in the wake of the Feb. 10 engine room fire that knocked out the vessel's main power and left it dead in the water. During the incident, the ship's emergency backup power system kicked in but was inadequate to provide passengers with basic services including working toilets, elevators, air conditioning and lighting in many areas, and passengers reported miserable conditions on board for several days. The ship eventually was towed to Mobile.
The Press-Register says the widow who was named in Carnival's lawsuit had sued Carnival in May. The widow's late husband, John Johnson, was swept into the water during the storm and drowned.
In statements to the media at the time of the storm, Carnival referred to the damage to the Carnival Triumph as "limited."

The celluloid "glass" has shrunk, so is held in place with a piece of wire lace twine. This is one that my grandparents purchased along with their new range in 1924. The clock still runs and keeps good time, but the switch contacts are burnt out. My grandfather replaced it in about 1960, with a GE Telechron that he wired to operate the oven relay.
The keys set the start and stop times, and the lever is a manual overide, so the oven can be operated normally, without the timer switch in the circuit. It flips the toggle downward, allowing the timer to control the outlet at the rear. When the timer is in the circuit, the lever can be seen protrouding from the side of the clock. In this photo, it is in the "timer off" position, and the oven could be operated manually. The outlet is a 110vac outlet that closed a relay to switch the 220vac oven supply, but the blades on the oven relay plug were thicker than a standard 110vac plug.

Unnecessary spending is one of the biggest contributing factors to bad credit and financial crisis. If you are seeking to better your credit score and become more financially capable, there are some things that you can do to cut down that unnecessary spending.
1. Make Shopping Lists
Impulse purchases and not tracking the cost of purchases while shopping can lead to unnecessary spending. To avoid this, make shopping lists before you leave the house and make sure to stick to them!
2. Trim the Fat
Look over your regular monthly expenses and identify where you can trim the fat. Many of our monthly expenses turn out to be "wants" rather than "needs" and can easily be cut from the budget. For example, many of us pay for larger cable packages or internet data packages than we need.
3. Consolidate Shopping Trips
Shopping once a week for all the items that you need for the week will save on unnecessary spending. When you aren't going to the grocery store every day you will find that you are spending less money both on transportation and saving money by purchasing larger quantities of ingredients at one time.
4. Shop with Coupons, Circulars, and Sales
Cut down on spending in all areas by shopping with coupons, shopping from circulars, and making note of store sales. So many people overspend on items simply because they are too lazy to clip a coupon or lookup what stores are offering the best sales for the week. Take an hour or two every Sunday to clip coupons from the local paper, scan through weekly sales offers, and plan shopping trips using circulars.
5. Analyze Your Spending Habits
Take a moment to look over your spending for the week and identify your spending habits. This will help you to identify where you are overspending the most and where you can cut back. For example, you may think that you only stop to grab a cup of coffee twice a week when in actuality you are stopping four times a week for that $4 cup of coffee! The only way that you can change these habits is to identify them first.
6. Know Your Budget
Being mindful of your budget will help you to identify how much money you can spend per week without overstretching your finances. If you always know how much you have available as "spending money" you will be less tempted to order takeout or splurge at the mall when you don't have the money to spend.
7. Manage Your Recreational Time
If you have a group of friends who like to spend more money than they make or who make money that allows for excessive spending, manage your recreational time so that you spend less time with this group of friends. It can be easy to fall in to overspending when you are in bad company or when you are trying to "keep up with the Jones's".

Still, it never ceases to amaze us here at Natural News just what kind of harmful garbage fast food companies put in some of their most popular items.
Take the McRib sandwich from McDonald's. Considering its ingredients, it's a good thing that the fast food chain only offers it once in a while.
According to the restaurant's website, here are just three of the 70 chemicals and ingredients the sandwich contains: azodicarbonamide, ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80.
Chock full of…chemicals
"These components are in small enough quantities to be innocuous. But it's still a little disconcerting to know that, for example, azodicarbonamide, a flour-bleaching agent that is most commonly used in the manufacture of foamed plastics like in gym mats and the soles of shoes, is found in the McRib bun," Time magazine reported, noting that the compound is banned in Europe and Australia as an additive to foods (the U.S., meanwhile, limits it to 45 parts per million in commercial flour products, according to an analysis of laboratory testing).
In fact, the United Kingdom's Health and Safety Executive has classified azodicarbonamide as a "respiratory sensitizer" that can potentially contribute to asthma via exposure on the job.
Why the attention? Because the sandwich has developed a sort of cult-like following since it was first introduced, writes Brad Tuttle at Time's Moneyland.
"Few fast food menu items can say they have their own Facebook page. Then again, few fast food items have experienced the roller coaster-like ups and downs of the McRib," he writes. "First introduced in 1982, the sandwich first disappeared in 1985, but then has periodically resurfaced in McDonald's in the U.S. and abroad. The McRib's cult-like following has generated not only Facebook pages, but McRib Locator websites and a Twitter account."
Perhaps if more Americans actually knew what was in a McRib they would be far less eager to find one. Besides the presence of a plethora of questionable ingredients, the sandwich itself is just over the top in terms of sodium content (980 mg – more than half of the daily recommended allowance) and saturated fat (10 g – not exactly heart-healthy).
Even 'healthy' fast food…isn't
The McRib revelations go hand in hand with earlier field research that has found fast food wanting in terms of providing consumers with a healthy choice – even when the same fast food restaurants are hawking supposedly "healthy" choices.
Again, consider McDonald's. New York Times food writer Mark Bittman wrote that the chain's Fruit & Maple Oatmeal, which was introduced in early 2011, isn't even marginally better for you, in terms of caloric intake, saturated fats, etc., despite being sold as a "bowl full of wholesome."
The oatmeal and McDonald's story broke late last year, when Mickey D's, in its ongoing effort to tell us that it's offering "a selection of balanced choices" … began to sell the cereal. Yet in typical McDonald's fashion, the company is doing everything it can to turn oatmeal into yet another bad choice. … A more accurate description than "100 percent natural whole-grain oats," "plump raisins," "sweet cranberries" and "crisp fresh apples" would be "oats, sugar, sweetened dried fruit, cream and 11 weird ingredients you would never keep in your kitchen."
Some people might even justify this by saying that buying the McDonald's version of oatmeal is at least much more convenient than making it at home, but many of those people likely have never made oatmeal at home. Besides, what about the waiting in line and the additional cost?
Other so-called "healthy foods" that are being misrepresented by fast-food chains include:
— McDonald's Premium Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken (220 cal., 6 g of fat and 5 g of sugar per serving – without the dressing).
— Jamba Juice's Mango Mantra Light Smoothie (Mango-a-go-go contains 85g of sugar – far above the daily limit of 34g of added sugar for women and 36g for men that is recommended by the American Heart Association).
— Subway's Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich (contains 760 cal. and 2,020 mg of sodium – that's 520 mg more salt than the USDA recommends that children, those with high blood pressure, the elderly and African Americans should consume in an entire day; it also contains 34 grams of sugar, all you should reasonably have in a single day).

The filter fan has a new-to-the-market pleated fabric filter and louvre design that gives a high airflow at IP55. Its unique, patented water and dust pre-separation in the lamellas ensures that the majority of water and dust never reach the filter mat, extending its lifetime and therefore reducing the maintenance requirements. The "Click and Fit" design eliminates the need for fixings, providing hardware-free installation and filter mat changing, giving a unique user-friendly product. The new filterfan generation comprises IP54 variants, which filter to the improved G3 specification, and IP55 versions capable of G4 level filtration, with EMC versions of both. It features a new, patented 4-corner locking / fastening system; the terminal is of a cage clamp design and its position is changeable through 90° step turns to accommodate differing wiring directions. The units in the range are completely reversible to either introduce or extract air from the enclosure. Provision is made for mounting a thermostat on the rear face of all exhaust filters to reduce energy consumption. IP55 variants are also UV stable and suitable for use in outdoor applications without any extra protection. The cutouts are compatible with the previous generation and with those used by major competitors.

Configuration-oriented encryption toolkit to make secure config files simple
Project description
by Naomi Most (@nthmost)
A simple solution to the often annoying problem of protecting config files.
secureconfig makes keeping your secrets secure on servers and source control repositories easy by restricting your choices on the matter, defaulting to a "medium-high paranoia" set of operations.
Those choices, specifically:
Use AES-128 CBC via Fernet (see https://cryptography.io/en/latest/fernet/ ) Store keys in environment variables, or in files protected by the system. Provide an easy way to overwrite sensitive string data left behind by with zeroes.
This library has undergone an overhaul since last version, so if you were using 0.0.2.x, please read the below carefully so you understand what has changed (A LOT!).
The major philosophical shift was to separate the duties of encryption and data structure handling into the CryptKeeper classes and SecureConfig* classes. This means that if you just want a consistent way to encrypt/decrypt strings and files that works across all of your data structures, the CryptKeeper classes will come in handy.
Config styles currently supported:
ConfigParser (see SecureConfigParser) Json (see SecureJson) -- whole-data encryption only. serialized dictionaries (see SecureConfig) -- whole-data encryption only.
Please let the maintainer (@nthmost) know if you want to see another type supported.
secureconfig is being developed in the context of an open-source-loving, "information wants to be free" kind of company that also does not wish to get totally pwned in a heartbeat when, say, bitbucket has a major security breach.
We have a lot of pre-existing code that makes use of ConfigParser ini-style files and also JSON config files. The best solution for protecting our services and sensitive information would be to create a drop-in replacement for ConfigParser that allows us to keep 99% of the way we interact with config files, and simply wraps the decryption step.
Of course, once you have decryption handled, you start to want simplified ways of encrypting as well.
That's why secureconfig (as of 0.0.3) supports writing new config files. See "basic usage" sections below to see how you can easily turn a plaintext value or file into an encrypted value or file (depending on config style).
The CryptKeeper classes can even generate new keys for you. Just make sure you keep track of which keys match with your data; this library will not stop you from shooting yourself in the foot!
secureconfig also tries to be helpful in keeping stored keys secure. FileCryptKeeper has "paranoid" mode on by default, which means that it will check to see whether the key is in a directory protected by your operating system. If not, it will refuse to run. (Turn this off using paranoid=False, if you must.)
Finally, secureconfig contains a smattering of deployment utilities found in secureconfig.utils. Feel free to suggest new ones.
This library can be found at https://bitbucket.org/nthmost/python-secureconfig
Contributions and code/documentation critiques are warmly welcomed.
How secureconfig Works
At its core, secureconfig simply subclasses the configuration mechanisms we all know and love, and wraps certain operations (read-from-file and/or read-and-interpolate) in a decryption layer.
This library bases its operations on Fernet, a cryptography meta-protocol (see https://cryptography.io) developed to help programmers choose the best possible defaults for their encryption tasks.
The CryptKeeper classes handle key storage, en/decryption, and key generation. All SecureConfig* classes receive from_x class instantiation methods to set up an internal CryptKeeper.
Table of Methods of key storage - CryptKeeper class - SecureConfig* classmethod:
string -- CryptKeeper -- .from_key(key_string) file -- FileCryptKeeper -- .from_file(key_filename) environment variable -- EnvCryptKeeper -- .from_env(key_env_name)
All CryptKeeper classes have a default argument of proactive=True, which means that the CryptKeeper instance will try to store a key in that place whether it currently exists or not. If this place is not writeable, you'll get your OS's usual error for an attempted operation.
When proactive=False and locations do not exist, you'll get a KeyError for environment variables or an OSError for files.
If CryptKeeper classes are instantiated without a key argument, they will generate a key automatically for you.
Another way to generate a new key is to use the CryptKeeper classmethod .generate_key().
NOTICE: You can't assign a new key to a CryptKeeper object after it's been created and have it work. (If that seems like misbehaviour, let me know; it's changeable.)
All of the SecureConfig* classes can be used with or without encryption keys, although you'll get a SecureConfigException('bad data or no encryption key') if you try to parse a data structure (such as JSON) out of encrypted text.
Finally, in secureconfig is a class called SecureString, which is a subclass of the string object. Its special function is to zero out the memory location of the string payload. This class has its own section and explanation at the bottom.
SecureString must be considered HAZARDOUS MATERIALS and not implicitly trusted. See below for why.
Installation and Requirements
To install secureconfig, you'll need to have the development libraries for libffi and libssl installed on your system. On ubuntu, therefore, you'd do this:
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev
Beyond this requirement, most users will find they can install secureconfig via pip:
pip install secureconfig
The following requirements form the backbone of secureconfig:
cryptography configparser cffi six pycparser
If you have any problems installing these requirements, please let the maintainer of this package know at https://bitbucket.com/nthmost/python-secureconfig
SecureConfigParser is a subclass of the configparser module's ConfigParser class.
The difference is that, when instantiated via one of the standardized cryptkeeper classmethods (see above) so that a private key is supplied, SecureConfigParser detects encrypted entries and decrypts them when demanded (i.e. when .get is used).
So, unlike SecureJson, this class encrypts and decrypts single values rather than entire files.
All of the usual ConfigParser methods are available.
In addition, you can set new values into the config to be encrypted by supplying encrypt=True as an argument to the .set method. See an example of this below.
from secureconfig import SecureConfigParser # starting with an ini file that has unencrypted entries: configpath = '/etc/app/config.ini' key_env = 'SCP_INI_KEY' scfg = SecureConfigParser.from_env('SCP_INI_KEY') scfg.read(configpath) username = scfg.get('credentials', 'username') password = scfg.get('credentials', 'password') connection = GetSomeConnection(username, password) # IMPORTANT: supply encrypt=True to encrypt values. scfg.set('credentials', 'password', 'better_password', encrypt=True) fh=open('/path/to/new_scfp.ini', 'w') scfg.write(fh) fh.close()
SecureJson is a very simple wrapper around JSON data. It decrypts whole files (or whole strings) and can encrypt new configurations as well.
Use one of the cryptkeeper classmethods above to instantiate with a key. SecureJson will happily process plaintext data as well if no key is supplied.
SecureJson is a subclass of SecureConfig (see below), and as such, as some ConfigParser-like operations included.
Basic usage (CHANGED SINCE 0.1.0):
from secureconfig import SecureJson configpath = '/etc/app/config.json.enc' config = SecureJson.from_file('.keys/aes_key', filepath=configpath) username = config.get('credentials', 'username') password = SecureString(config.get('credentials', 'password')) connection = GetSomeConnection(username, password) # SecureString overwrites its string data with zeroes upon garbage collection. del(password) # set a new password config.set('credentials', 'password', 'better_password') fh=open('/path/to/config.json.enc', 'w') config.write(fh) fh.close()
The way SecureConfig reads data back is via literal_eval. This approach may not be without its concerns, so please do not use this class to work with data you do not explicitly trust.
The lowly SecureConfig class's lot in life is to be subclassed by other objects. But it can still be somewhat useful.
SecureConfig stores data in serialized dictionaries, which are then encrypted as a whole and stored as an undecipherable blob of information. The data can only be read and recovered by supplying the private key that it was encrypted with.
SecureConfig provides a .cfg dictionary for raw access. It also provides many ConfigParser style interactions (see class docstring), including .get and .set methods. This works as long as your data is at least 2-dimensional.
You can still use SecureConfig with 1-dimensional data (i.e. flat dictionary of key=value pairs); you just can't use the ConfigParser style interactions.
Below is demonstrated the non-ConfigParser style of interacting with SecureConfig data.
Basic Usage (CHANGED SINCE 0.1.0):
from secureconfig import SecureConfig config = SecureConfig.from_file('.keys/aes_key', filepath='/path/to/serialized.enc') cfg = config.cfg username = cfg['username'] password = cfg['password'] connection = GetSomeConnection(username, password)
"RAM security is haaaard" –Noah Kantrowitz, https://twitter.com/kantrn/status/461654722558963712
SecureString is a subclass of the string object with one modification: when deleted and garbage-collected by python, or when its .burn() function is called, which explicitly zeroes out the data.
Now this documentation must spend due time convincing you why it is not "secure".
Python generally tries to create references to 'payload' data in memory rather than copy payloads whenever possible, but in those and other scenarios, you may wind up having string data copied into other locations, and SecureString won't have any idea.
In a "tight" scenario, e.g. where SecureString could be used to receive the password and then immediately be "burned after reading", SecureString can be trusted to zero out the string data completely. Outside of these strict scenarios, a number of circumstances will create copies of your sensitive data in memory, such as concatenation of strings and use of the comparison operator on strings held in lists.
You must also keep in mind that, even if you del(secure_string) and explicitly run gc.collect(), your string will still be in memory if there are still references to that string lying around in other objects.
Also, if your python program does not complete gracefully, garbage collection may not run completely or at all, so SecureString memory will not be wiped. If you want to insert gc.collect() statements to proactively scrape these strings, that is an option, but there can be performance drawbacks to aggressively running garbage collection operations.
Finally, different python interpreters handle memory differently, and SecureConfig hasn't yet been tested on more than just the standard python interpreter and the ipython interpreter.
Given the above, SecureString cannot at this time be implicity trusted as "secure", since so much depends upon how it's used.
Planned features include:
- more automated-deployment-oriented utils - asymmetric key deployments (e.g. RSA public key encryption)
Look for @nthmost on bitbucket if you're interested and would like to contribute! Comments, critiques, and bug reports warmly welcomed. Pull requests encouraged.

Well that is what I am calling this one. Over at Just for Fun this week's challenge theme is anything with more than four sides. For full details of the challenge, the design teams inspiring ideas and all the fab entries click on the JFF logo on the sidebar. I have gone with one of our Zoe's suggestions and decorated a cube of wood.
It is a bit ruff and ready but as I used a block off an old pallet I am quite pleased with how it turned out. There are a few smudges here and there! I hope I am forgiven! lol!
The feet are made from beads. The handle is a piece of dowel with a couple of brass screws. I used fabric paint to colour this because I only wanted a bit of a stain effect.
Stamps used: Poppies from Chocolate Baroque and Script from Crafty Individuals.
Well I think that is it from me. I have been out of blog land for about a week so I am off to catch up with everyone.
Have a great weekend.
Best Wishes Florence

DOVER — It's beginning to look a lot like ... winter.
After Thursday's storm dropped nearly a foot of snow in the region, mother nature decided to top the area off with an additional four to eight inches Saturday night, creating a mess on the roadways, but a winter wonderland for New England.
Sledding hills were full of families in snowpants, knitted hats and mittens, enjoying the best of what the "fluffy white stuff" offers.
"It's the most wonderful time of the year!" Amy Childs said on Sunday afternoon.
Icicles hung off the roofs of capes, colonials and other homes on Sunday and footprints were found around snowmen rolled together in front yards from busy children playing outdoors during school vacation.
Despite messy roadways, reported accidents were few and far between, with local police departments claiming roads to be relatively quiet.
A 20-vehicle accident on I-93 northbound near exit 22 and exit 23 on Saturday afternoon did cause major traffic issues, but the five people who were taken to local hospitals were not seriously injured.
A fifteen-year-old girl was hurt in a snowmobile accident at 66 Agamenticus Road in South Berwick, Maine early Sunday afternoon. Her grandfather, South Berwick Fire Chief George Gorman said the town was calm after the storm. Just before deciding to head to Powderhouse Hill to see if there was any action going on there, his fifteen-year-old granddaughter fell of her snowmobile in his backyard.
"She got a little too close to the bush here and hooked her ski on it and tipped over," he said. "She went off the sled and her knee got caught under the handle bars and twisted her leg."
She was transported to the hospital, but reportedly did not have any broken bones.
Areas including Route 4 and Route 236 in South Berwick, Maine and Rollinsford had snow drifting through open fields and onto the roads on Sunday due to high winds causing cars to continue to travel slowly to their destinations even on the partly sunny afternoon.
AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said the area was seeing close to 40 miles per hour winds.
"Portsmouth saw wind gusts as high as 33 miles per hour Sunday morning," Pydynowski said.
Temperatures were also dropping close to the teens during the afternoon and according to Pydynowski, they will not be creeping up to above freezing any time soon.
Pydynowski is predicting the next set of precipitation to be snow flurries on New Year's Day.

Given the recent rash of speeches, announcements, and other venues in which various national security types have talked up the federal government's need to somehow involve the private sector in securing the nation's network infrastructure, you could be forgiven for suspecting that some kind of coordinated civilian information security outreach campaign is underway.
Take Col. Jeff Kendall, who sat down earlier this month for a roundtable discussion on the new Air Force Cyber Command (AFCYBER) at the Council on Foreign Relations and talked about the recruiting challenges that the US military faces in the area of what the military calls "cyber warfare."
"Perhaps we need a different kind of warrior in this domain," Kendall told the assembled group. "Today, all of our armed forces have a physical fitness test that requires us to do—depending on what your service is—required to meet some physical fitness standards. Perhaps that's not the right construct for these kinds of kids in the future—and I don't use kids pejoratively; they're all just younger than I am. So these great young American men and women, how do we attract them? ...they're not the same kind of folks that perhaps you want to march to breakfast in the morning."
Kendall also implied—half jokingly, half not—that not only might some potential cyberwarrior recruits be in less than peak physical shape, but they might have broken the law in the course of acquiring the 1337 hax0r skillz that would make them useful to the military. In other words, the military might adopt a "don't ask, don't tell" policy when it comes to the color of a recruit's hat.
Kendall suggests that part of the solution to the recruiting conundrum is that these cyberwarriors could be civilian contractors—the mercenaries (my term, not his) of the digital age. Another part lies in changing the military's culture and recruiting tactics. "We've got to change the demographic," Kendall said. So we've got to shed some of our own traditional recruiting mechanisms to go after a different crowd." Obviously, this is why AFCYBER was running commercials for the new command during the Final Four—to reach the huge cracker basketball fan demographic.
The USAF isn't the only branch of the armed services that's looking to recruit crackers. The Army is also after the same crowd, though Army Col. Wayne Parks didn't give much detail beyond the mere fact of this shift in recruiting in his recent interview for GovernmentExecutive.com. Parks referenced the Army's cracker outreach in the context of its overall attempts to beef up its cyberwar capabilities.
Then there's Department of Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff's remarks at the RSA security conference in San Francisco this week, in which he reached out to the private sector for cooperation in securing the nation's network infrastructure. Reports of the speech (see below for links) indicate that he spent a lot of time during his speech making the case to private sector security experts that they should be helping DHS secure critical infrastructure.
It's not clear how, exactly, Chertoff envisions civilian security professionals working with DHS on public networks. The Miami Herald indicated that DHS is on a hiring spree with some of the billions that the president has committed to spending on cybersecurity in 2009, and that Chertoff was hoping to fill staff positions.
I wasn't at the conference, and I can't find a complete transcript of the remarks, so I can't say for certain that Chertoff was or was not talking about hiring private sector security professionals when he spoke of public-private cooperation. My own suspicion is that he may have made his remarks with the Infragard program in mind. If anyone can enlighten me one way or the other, though, please drop me an e-mail.
Further reading
- The Mercury News and InternetNews.com both have coverage of Chertoff's RSA speech.
- Military.com has coverage of the Air Force Colonel's CFR speech. You may also want to check out this CFR interview with another Air Force officer on the topic of AFCYBER.

Can you make fuel out of tobacco? Apparently you can if they're genetically engineered tobacco plants.
Read more about these at Xconmony.
Congratulations and best wishes for 2010.
According to Alternative Energy,
"Researchers from the Biotechnology Foundation Laboratories at Thomas Jefferson University have developed a new method to increase the quantity of oil in tobacco leaves. So that oil in tobacco leaves can be utilized as biofuels in future. Their paper was published in Plant Biotechnology Journal which is an online journal."
Alternative Energy goes on to write,
"According to Dr. Andrianov, "Tobacco is very attractive as a biofuel because the idea is to use plants that aren't used in food production. We have found ways to genetically engineer the plants so that their leaves express more oil. In some instances, the modified plants produced 20-fold more oil in the leaves.""
That's another feedstock to add to the list.
Xconomy in Seattle has come up with the top five innovations to watch in the coming decade. They are:
- The Return of Nanotechnology
- Industrial Applications of Synthetic Biology
- P4 Medicine. A term coined by Leroy Hood to embody Personalized, Predictive, Preventive, and Participatory medicine.
- Merger of the 'Cloud' Computing and Mobile Devices.
- In-Vivo Cell Potentiation
Read more about these at Xconmony.
And now, the fifty hottest companies in bioenergy announced by Biofuels Digest for 2009-2010. Well it's a long list so we won't tell you who all fifty are, but you can find that list on the Biofuels Digest web site. The first five are:
- Solazyme
- Poet
- Amyris
- BP Biofuels
- Sapphire Energy
Congratulations and best wishes for 2010.

Cookie Policy
This site uses cookies. By using our site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Cookie Policy, Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
You should only be charged for private dental treatment if you agreed to have private dental work done.
When you visit a dentist they will begin by examining your mouth and teeth. If they think you need treatment they should give you a written personal dental treatment plan.
Treatment plans are not usually given for Band 1 or urgent dental treatment, but you can ask for one.
Most dentists offer both NHS and private treatment. Your NHS dentist should always:
Before carrying out any dental treatment, your dentist should ask you to sign your personal dental treatment plan.
This confirms the NHS dental treatment your dentist is going to do, and the amount you will need to pay for the treatment on the NHS. If you have talked to your dentist about having private dental treatment, details and costs for this will be listed separately on the same form.
If you're not offered a treatment plan for band 2 or 3 treatments, ask your dentist for one.
For more information about NHS dental bands, see What is included in each NHS dental band charge?
The NHS will provide all treatment that your dentist feels is clinically necessary to keep your teeth, gums and mouth healthy.
This means that if your dentist says that you "need" a particular type of treatment, it will be available on the NHS. You should not be asked to pay for it privately.
For more information, see Which dental treatments are available on the NHS?
NHS dental treatment does not cover any cosmetic treatments, for example teeth whitening, that are only to improve your appearance and not clinically necessary.
However, you may choose to have this dental work done privately. In this case, you will be charged privately and your NHS dentist should make sure you know how much this will cost before treatment starts.
If you think your dental charges are wrong, you should first talk to your dentist or the person at your dental surgery responsible for patient feedback.
If you have paid for NHS treatment but you think you have paid too much, you should discuss this with your dentist. They will know what work was done and whether it was NHS treatment or a mix of NHS and private treatment.
Your dentist can arrange a refund if you need one.
If you're not happy with the response from your NHS dentist about the charges, see How do I complain about my dental treatment?

We at Salinenluft did not expect that: Media from all over the world made contact with us. That's why Salinenluft is now well known in many countries on various continents. Here's a little overview:
It started in Germany: The local newspapers Oeffentlicher Anzeiger and Allgemeine Zeitung reported about Salinenluft, the local online news site Hanz online followed. Then it went slightly bigger: The regional TV station SWR made a two minute report about our business for the evening news programme Landesschau. The Frankfurt-based regional edition of Germany's biggest tabloid, BILD, gave us the headline on page four and produced a small video as well. Then the local TV station Nahe TV joined in.
Salinenluft's press release was sent to selected news outlets around the world. First, The Hans India, one of Indias largest broadsheets published in English, did a story about salinenluft. Then, US journalist Daniel Setiawan approached us, doing a story about bottled air sales worldwide. He first published his story on fusion.net, part of a large US web and TV network. His story also made it on fullact.com, audioboom.com, snewsi.com and particlenews.com, while msn and msn money, dailymotion.com, onenewspage.us and watch-latest-news.com published a short video based on Setiawan's reporting.
The Mental Floss magazine braught the Salinenluft story back to facebook. There and on Twitter, strange things had already happened. In Facebook the likes for Salinenluft exploded shortly after the fan page for Salinenluft was set up. It now has more than 6000 likes – mainly from Pakistan. "I cannot tell you why", says Salinenluft founder Stefan Butz. India, Egypt, the Philippines plus various countries on the Arabian peninsula follow after Pakistan (China has neither Facebook nor Twitter).
On Twitter, Salinenluft's account is by now followed by Franchising USA, video channel Vines Tv, Moscow Top News, India lifestyle news LifeCrust, US based Environews, The Jewish Voice, the Indian fashion site The Fasion Crab, How To Be Hippy with its "Cool Ideas For Conscious Consumers" and Missouri based Bring Up Business. Salinenluft also made it on nakedcapitalism.com. There, the comments are mosty negative, whereas on other websites the users seem to get the joke.
Salinenluft's video on Youtube now has nearly 7000 clicks. It even went bigger on imperialhiphop.com, where it has nearly 25.000 views. You can find it on Reddit and on spreaker.com a audio version of the fusion.net article was published. It also made it on the entertainment network pr0gramm.com.
That's quite a bit. Have you found Salinenluft on another website? Do not hesitate and tell us.
