I am however in a fix how to correct the flimflam; this advertisement of half-truths and emotional claptrap without lacerating the person of the Senate President, who I hold in high esteem and had had cause in the past to stand to his defence when under attack by entrenched reactionary forces of ethnic chauvinism and backwardness.
Mr. Elijah was supposedly reacting to a news story credited to a distinguished Idoma son, Chief Mike Onoja, who is the principal contender to the Benue South senatorial seat currently occupied by the Senate President.
For daring to stand up to the Senate President and demand that the senatorial seat which he has occupied since 1999 rotates to another part of the senatorial district in line with the wishes of the people, the retired federal permanent secretary incurred the wrath of Mr. Elijah with his noxious canister of fairy tale and smear.
The views canvassed by Chief Onoja which he finds distasteful are not new. These are issues on the lips of every Idoma man. They are true! Senator Mark has overstayed his welcome. He might have made great impact on national politics with his doctrine of necessity and the stability he has brought to the senate, but his impact on his immediate community has been negligible given his position as the nation's number three citizen. Is it not a shame that in over 15 years as senator representing Benue South senatorial district; eight of which he is presiding as the Senate President, not one kilometre of new road has been constructed by the federal government anywhere in the senatorial district? Even the reconstruction of the 50km Otukpa-Otukpa road which connects the senatorial district with the southern part of the country is yet to be completed seven years after it was opened up in several places.
It is a fact that the National Assembly failed to appropriate sufficient funds for the construction of the Otukpo-Agila-Ngbo road which Chief Onoja and another illustrious Agila son had successively lobbied its inclusion in the 2011/2012 federal budget. This road if constructed would have linked up Benue state to Ebonyi state, open up the economy of the two states and help reduce the tension and clashes between the Agila people of Benue and the Ngbo of Ebonyi state.
Mr. Elijah's accusation that Chief Onoja is ambitious, that he is using "black propaganda" and standing "truth, logic and facts on its head" just to demonise the Senate President is pathetic. Where is propaganda in what he said? Where did he stand truth, logic and facts on its head? Is it by saying that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander? Is it not true that other sections of Idoma land and the Igede people also have the right as well as the men to represent the district?
This is not America where a Senator Robert C Byrd of West Virginia can spend 51 years, 5 months and 26 days in the senate. In case the perquisites of his office as media aide to the Senate President have fooled him into believing that we are in America, let me inform him that this is Naija where sensibilities of the people count. The attempt therefore to draw Chief Onoja's attention to what obtains in America and to accuse him of ignorance, even of jealousy as he "ought to have known the classical distinction between the executive and the legislative arms of government" is misplaced.
Hear Elijah: "From his political thesis, two factors were obviously at play – jealousy and ignorance about democratic tenets. This was made manifest when he said,"…even in the senate now, he (Mark) was the longest serving senator. Is it that we do not have competent people to represent Zone c?"
The question the respected Chief asked is the same question every Idoma man is asking; "na only David Mark waka come?" His decision to ask questions is not influenced by ignorance or jealousy but by a patriotic desire to contribute to the fight against the socio-political retardation of Idoma land.
Chief Onoja is not jealous of the distinguished Senate President and, he has never been. It is a fact known that these two illustrious Idoma sons are friends who have worked together on the same political platform in the past. Since joining forces in the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Onoja has consistently supported his friend in his electoral contests. That he opted out from a grand plan aimed at ensuring the permanent colonization of the senatorial seat like Senator Robert C Byrd in the US is a function of his intrepid and liberal mind, not one of jealousy. He believes that others should also have a taste of it, for what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Mr. Elijah made me laugh when he said that "the question to ask is; has the Benue South Senatorial district fared any better under Senator Mark's leadership as a senator representing the zone? The answer is yes!" Hmm!
How do you compare the performance of an actor when he is the only performer on stage? Who do you compare him with? Who?
While the attempt to chronicle the achievements of the distinguished Senate President is commendable, Mr. Elijah should have limited himself to the things that he did and not go on listing every project executed in Idoma land and attributing them to the Senate president.
Many spurious claims were made but the most absurd of these is the one that Senator Mark "lobbied both the Benue state and federal governments to electrify Otukpo-Oju and Otukpo-Agila in addition to the proposed Igumale cement company."
The absurdity was further compounded when he said that "the senator in his quest to extricate the Ado people from the clutches of poverty and under-development while in exile had wanted to establish the cement factory in conjunction with some associates but was frustrated by late Gen. Sani Abacha." Interesting indeed!
It is interesting that an intention that never saw the light of day, but was in his words, frustrated has now become an achievement!
It is a fact that the Otukpo-Agila rural electrification project which supplies electricity to parts of Otukpo and Ado local government area today was brought by Chief Mike Onoja who Mr. Elijah sought to vilify; the man he challenged to tell the Idoma people what he did for them as a public servant.
It was Chief Onoja, who as permanent Secretary, Federal ministry of Power and Steel, took light to Ado local government area and extending it to Agila which is the farthest part of the local government and also his home village. Mr. Elijah would however want us to reject that and instead believe his own story that it was his boss that lobbied and got the project for the people.
The question I ask is; who did he lobby? Was it Chief Onoja, the permanent secretary; whose village the light was meant to reach that he lobbied or who?
That Mr. Elijah could take what was done by Chief Onoja and ascribe it to Senator Mark and turn round to accuse the former of doing nothing for his people is pure mischief.
To also accuse him of insensitivity to the plight of his people by not building a military barrack in Agila to stem the incessant boundary clashes between the Agila people and the Ngbo of Ebonyi state is another case of mischief.
Hear him:"It is on record that during his days in Gen. Sani Abacha's government, there was no minister of Defence. Chief Mike Onoja was the de-facto minister of Defence. So establishing a military barrack in the Agila chiefdom would have been as simple as A,B,C. Or was he waiting to be elected a Senator before working for the overall interest of his people?"
It is obvious that Mr. Elijah does not know that you can't construct a bridge where there is no river, road or obstacle that prevents movement of people. Military barracks are set up in areas where soldiers are based. Where do you bring from, the soldiers to live in the barracks to be built in Agila? You don't just set up military barracks anywhere and don't forget that when Chief Onoja was the Permanent secretary, Defence, there were four divisions of the Nigerian Army and they were regionally based.
Secondly, internal issues like boundary disputes are within the purview of the police, not the military. There's therefore no way you'll expect Chief Onoja to take a military barrack to Agila.
Let me conclude by saying that I agree completely with Mr. Elijah's own conclusion that "yes, election is by the corner and everybody of age has the right to aspire to any position, but those in previous positions of authority must be made to account for what they have used their positions to do for their people."
I wish to also add that account of stewardship should not be restricted to those who held positions of authority in the past but it should also involve those in leadership positions today. Everyone should give account of their stewardship.
The Idoma people would want to know from their representatives at the National Assembly how they used their positions of influence to advance the cause of our demand for the creation of Apa state as well as our desire to have a constitutional backing guaranteeing rotation of political offices, particularly the governorship position among the three senatorial zones in each state. The Idoma people are keen to know how and why the deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremandu could tell us that the Idoma people and others demanding for states didn't follow the due process. What was that due process which our able representatives didn't know before to inform us or is there more to their inability to deliver on their electoral promise than we know?
Yes, I agree "this is the period of operation show your records", however, just like judgment would begin in the house of God, why not this accountability begin with our national assembly members; some of who have never briefed their constituents since their election.

CommentsYou need to LOGIN to post a comment.
Thanks! I hope i'll finish this week and let you know to test it and for feedback
I'll BUY it ! very nice ! if you need beta testers let me know !
In few days I'll finish another version which will include the following features:
- autoplay function and the timer will be set in the XML file for each gallery
- mp3 player with external mp3 files, using XML
- another way to preview for each file,not full screen, a medium size let's say. I think this will be good if you don't have high resolution photos to display them in fullscreen. For each gallery the owner will be able to set the displaying mode: fullscreen or window.
MOST excellent ! would be need to have 'autoplay' so you do not have to drag that can be tedious if you have alot of pics and galleries. also playing background music via .mp3 is good


text: I was doing the dishes this evening and was thinking about what it would cost to replace a hen if one was killed by a neighbor dog. Of course, since I am only doing meat birds these days, it is purely theoretical. So if you have a bird that is at laying age and she is producing eggs at a rate of 5-6 eggs per week and she gets taken out by the neighbor dog, what would be a suggested replacement cost? Do you figure in the cost of the eggs that you would lose until you had another similar bird up to laying as well as the initial cost of the bird and what you will have to pay in feed for the new bird? I was just wondering what would be considered reasonable.

any time my family reminisces about the good old days, inevitably my step father will bring up the fact that i was the slowest eater on the face of the planet. he'll get all worked up and tell you how the whole family would sit for an additional ten, fifteen, thirty minutes while i leisurely ate my meal, totally oblivious of them staring at me, waiting for me to finish. (every time we talk about this, my crime of slow eating seems to get more and more egregious; i'm sure it wasn't that bad. maybe.) but times have changed. i am still the slower eater in the bodanzalez household, obviously, but i've made a lot of improvements since the never ending dinners of 1994. like this week, when i sat down, with a friend, and ate 6 hot dogs in 10 minutes. that is, of course, no where near as impressive as 65 hot dogs in 10 minutes, but it's pretty impressive for me. i totally get why people dunk their hot dogs and buns now, it's exhausting have to chew so much and so quickly. however, i will always eat my hot dogs with ketchup, mustard, and relish.
ps. i tied and came in 3rd place for the night!

Friendly Signs Monument a Great Investment for Illinois Bank
Municipal Bank, a Bourbonnais, IL-based bank with additional branches in Momence and Manteno, IL, is the type of prudently run financial institution with the strength to withstand troubled times.
Friendly Signs embraced the task of helping Municipal Bank owner Merlin Carlock develop a sign that represents its local standing. He wanted a monument sign for the Bourbonnais location that under-scored the institution's strength. While considering the project, I noticed the white-brick construction of each branch, the use of pillars, and a few, small, concrete lion sculp-tures around the property. I thought a lion of large stature would let customers know that Municipal Bank offered a strong community presence.
Using Adobe Creative Suite, we developed seven designs for the client to review. However, we expected the lion design would be chosen. In this situation, it made the most sense. I envisioned residents telling visitors to turn "by the bank with the lion sign," and kids wanting to run errands with their parents just to see the Municipal Bank lion.
Foam and function
Friendly Signs subscribes to several sign-industry and design magazines, including ST, and I'd heard about the work of Chisel 3-D (Atlanta), which produces hardcoated, expanded-polystyrene (EPS) foam sculptures for unconventional signage, and museum and theatrical applications. When we got the green light for the lion design, I immediately thought of that company and the possibility of a coated-foam lion sculpture. Its owner, Gary Bystrom, liked the idea of a 10-ft.-tall lion sculpture as the sign's centerpiece.
Gary, Sarah Andreina (she managed the project for Municipal Bank) and I carefully considered the lion's design. I didn't want it to appear like an afterthought, compared to the rest of the sign. Also, I wanted him to look strong, not scary. I studied lots of lion poses, and decided that a lion on the prowl and roaring, as if standing guard over a rocky hillside, would be the most appropriate design.
We'd never built a sign with this type of material, so I knew it would be a learning process. Gary provided very detailed information about the material, how it would perform, the type of steel structure needed to support the sculpture, and the hardware required to attach it.
I sent Gary pictures of a traditional, stone lion. Chisel 3-D then created a small maquette, or model, which we scanned to create a template for the larger version. Instead of a conventional, concrete appearance, we opted for a coating that resembled a lime-stone patina. Limestone is still mined in our region, so it made sense.
Chisel 3-D fabricated the EPS lion on CNC milling equipment, and then its team of artisans assembled the pieces for detail sculpting by hand. EPS is better known by Dow Chemical's trade name, Styrofoam™. Even though the material used for this project is stouter than EPS material used to make cups and coolers, it still required an application of a poly-urethane, spray-on hardcoat for outdoor durability.
Chisel 3-D MIG-welded the steel substructure. They specified mild steel to provide the required structural integrity because galvanized steel is difficult to weld. The completed sculpture was too large to ship in a crate. We mounted it on a structure that could be secured to a low, flatbed trailer, and Chisel 3-D wrapped it securely to stave off the elements. The driver who transported the lion from Georgia to Illinois was instructed to avoid low-hanging limbs and anything else that could damage it. The lion was transported successfully.
Chisel 3-D built the base to match the monument structure's base (a third-party contractor built the masonry) and provided a template that indicated where installers should drill holes to adequately support the sculpture. Friendly Signs drilled steel bolts into the lion's integral steel frame.
We used entirely custom-made steel components, instead of stock hardware, to provide the required tensile strength. Friendly Signs welded a cross-braced steel frame within the monument structure to ensure it met wind-load requirements. We designed the structure so the approximately 600-lb. lion could be lifted with the crane, set on top of the monument and, with minor adjustments, attached to the frames via the bolts.
Bright ideas
Although the lion provides the visual focal point for Municipal Bank's monument sign, other elements played key roles. The 13-in.-tall channel letters feature aluminum returns, and Plexiglas® acrylic faces were cut on an AXYZ 5000 Series CNC router. The plastic faces were decorated with 3M green and black translucent film. The stripes under the logo were also outfitted with chrome-finish, gold vinyl. The sign was secured to the monument using 1-in.-long, PVC standoffs. The letters were halo-lit with JS LED's JE-005A amber modules. In our experience, they've proven to be among the brightest on the market.
For the monument's message board, we selected Time-O-Matic's Watchfire 19mm-pitch, 80 x 160-
matrix, LED displays. The displays, which measure 5 ft. 5 in. x 8 ft. 3 in., allow up to 10 lines of 5-in.-tall copy. The client handles updates via wireless radio communication.
The most challenging part of the installation was carefully maneuvering the lion over a thicket of trees with an 87-ton crane. When the lion and other sign elements were installed, several reporters and photographers watched. It slowed us down a bit, but the exposure was more than worth it.
The project required numerous reviews, revisions, permits and measurements, but once all parties involved were on the same page, we moved forward successfully with no interruptions. Working with a new material and a creative concept will certainly enhance our process for future projects.

Defiant Schweinsteiger declares Man Utd will be his `last club in Europe`
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Johannesburg, Aug 24 (ANI): Amid increasing speculation surrounding his possible Old Trafford exit, German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has insisted that Manchester United would be his 'last club in Europe' and that he will be ready if the team require his services. The 32-year-old midfielder, who endured an injured-plagued first season, is yet to make a competitive appearance for the Old Trafford club since Jose Mourinho took over the team this summer. Clarifying his position, Schweinsteiger said on Twitter that he had no desire to leave United while pointing out that he left his boyhood club Bayern Munich only for Old Trafford, Sport24 reported. The veteran footballer recently called curtains on his international career following some below-par performances for Germany at Euro 2016 last month. He had spent 13 years as a first-team player at Bayern and won eight Bundesliga titles, seven German Cups and the 2012-13 Champions League. (ANI)

Great Sand Dunes National Park, CO // A view from south reveals the diverse geology and ecology protected by Colorado's Great Sand Dunes National Park. Up to 750 feet high and covering 30 square miles of land at the base of the craggy Sange de Cristo range, these dunes are the tallest in North America. Their towering height is obvious when you're out in their heart, where the shifting hills block out everything but sand and sky, and you might as well be in the Sahara or the Rub'al-Khali. Yet despite the fluidity of sand dunes, opposing winds keep them surprisingly stable: the tallest dunes are still in the same places they were 100 years ago.

Why Share Books?
Sharing books, singing songs, and saying rhymes will have a lasting impact on a child's development.
Vocabulary Development
Books help to develop vocabulary. A wide range of vocabulary is important as a way of expressing ourselves and being able to communicate effectively. A range of vocabulary is also important to help us to learn to read. The more words we have, the easier it is for us to connect sounds and the knowledge of the word to its visual print representation.
* Children's books contain 50% more rare words than prime time television (Hayes & Ahrens, 1988)
* Books stimulate more verbal interaction between child and parent (Vivas, 1996)
* By age 3, 50% of our language is in place. By age 5, it's 85 % (Susan Deacon, Joining the Dots)
* The earlier children are read to, the better their language and literacy skills (Dunst et al., 2012)
* We need to hear 1000 stories before we can learn to read (Mem Fox)

It can be useful to use a Payday loan if you do not have enough money to pay for essential bills before the end of the month. It is quite a different thing to a loan form a financial institution though. They will tend to lend money over a long period - at least a year if not significantly longer but a payday loan must be paid back when you next get paid. It is therefore likely that the lending period will only between seven and eighteen days. The amount this borrowing costs will depend on how much you choose to borrow and how long you have the money for. It is necessary to be earning over a certain amount of money before you will be accepted for payday loans. You will normally be able to get one if you have a regular income. In order to qualify you will also have to have some finance checks to make sure that you are capable of repaying the loan and it is possible that this could take a few days in some cases. This will depend on the company you choose and your financial circumstances. It is very important that even if you are accepted for a loan, that you make sure that you can pay it back when necessary. Your lender may have faith in you, but you need to make sure that you can trust yourself as well. It is an expensive way to borrow money and if you do not pay it back on time then it can end up costing even more. You do not want to be in this situation. It is also necessary to make sure that you talk to the lender and make sure that they can answer all of your questions before you start. Ensure that you fully understand the terms and conditions, know how much you will be charged for the loan and when you will be expected to pay it back and make sure that you can do this. Also get in touch with other cash advance lenders to make sure that you look at all your options and compare the cost and service that others are offering so you know that you are getting teh best deal for you.

Confronting the Perception that Fusion is 50 Years Away
What do you think about this? Let us know in the comments below! | Discuss In Forums
Thank you to Scott Hsu for posting the following in the forums:
Most people who make their way to this forum have likely heard the quip that "fusion is 50 years away and always will be." Earlier in my career as a plasma physicist, I used to simply dismiss those quips as coming from people who didn't know anything, and that simply higher levels of funding would get us there sooner.
Two Main Reasons For Lack of Fusion Success
As I recently started to wonder more seriously about the origin of that quip, I now realize that even though higher levels of funding might get us there sooner, there are two main reasons why fusion has not been successful in obtaining those higher levels of funding, whether it be from government or private sources.
Lack of Uniform Level of Readiness Across all Critical Areas
I believe that the first fundamental reason fusion is not taken seriously is that there is no fusion approach that has reached a sufficiently uniform level of readiness across all its critical required areas of science and technology.
For example, magnetic confinement (i.e., the tokamak) is the most scientifically mature and successful plasma confinement scheme, but the required plasma facing component (PFC) technology (along with its associated plasma-material interaction science) is difficult and is only starting to be addressed seriously by the mainline magnetic fusion program. The high price tags and long lead times for both building high performance tokamaks and the needed, challenging R&D program in the PFC areas contribute to the reason why "fusion is 50 years away."
On the other hand, there are proposed fusion approaches such as magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) that should cost much less than a tokamak, and by using thick liquid blankets surrounding the fusion plasma, MIF might largely avoid the PFC problems and required development program. The problem with MIF is that it is scientifically immature, and that much research is still required to demonstrate a high performing MIF plasma system. But an MIF reactor could ultimately be much less costly and time-consuming than a tokamak reactor, if we can muster the will and funding to advance the science and performance of MIF.
Fusion Plasma Physics is Difficult
The second fundamental reason is that fusion plasma physics and engineering is difficult!
Early on in fusion research, scientists were falsely optimistic that all the problems were about to be solved. It has taken about half a century of hard work by very smart people to push magnetic confinement plasma physics to where it is today. I dare say that no other area of fusion science, including inertial confinement fusion (ICF), is at the same level of scientific maturity and sophistication as magnetic fusion science.
Every time scientists have tried to push the performance of their proposed fusion system, the plasma has found new ways to thwart them with newly discovered instabilities and other problems. This might very well be what is happening with the National Ignition Facility (NIF) right now in their quest for ignition (and I sincerely hope they achieve it soon).
Timeline Premature
We as fusion scientists must be honest with ourselves and respect nature. Until we demonstrate the level of plasma performance for fusion needed by any fusion approach, it is simply too premature to put a timeline on it. We need to do the serious scientific research for many fusion approaches so that other approaches have a chance to reach fusion conditions. Hopefully some of these other approaches have easier and less costly paths to a reactor than does a tokamak.
Fusion Catch 22
The difficulty with the science and engineering, however, places fusion in a catch-22 situation with respective to attracting private investment. If scientists tell the truth about any given fusion concept that the scientific risk is still high, then private investors will shy away. In order to convince most private investors to invest, scientists have to oversell and promise a fast-track schedule, and then when the physics turns out to be elusive and more difficult than anticipated, the promised timeline is not realized, and fusion gets another black eye. I hope this doesn't happen to General Fusion, which will soon be entering the phase of testing the most difficult physics of their approach.
Thus, to recapitulate, for most of the history of controlled fusion research (some 50+ years), fusion has been and still is 50 years away. To continue on our present path of worldwide fusion development will not alter this entirely correct perception. To seriously confront and overturn it, there are a few things that all fusion proponents should do:
- commit themselves to bringing all critical areas needed for a fusion reactor to equally advanced levels of technological readiness (otherwise fusion will always be a science and not energy program),
- for proponents of non-tokamak fusion concepts, don't oversell the readiness of your favored approach, but rather work toward establishing and demonstrating the scientific understanding needed to field a fusion-relevant experiment,
- re-examine inherent biases we all (especially mainline tokamak and ICF proponents) might possess about various fusion approaches with the goal of enabling a more level playing field for the less mature ideas, and
- think of ways to help open up new models of funding for fusion without overselling, from both government and private sources.

November twenty-second, winter settled in my bones. Twigs crackled under my feet like my brittle bones in this damp chill. A cacophony of birds has taken shelter in a hodge-podge of trees. I myself had found refuge under a meek looking pine. The rain cascaded down.
Camping, came to mind. Wet pine and tree. The melting marshmallows over poping red-yellow fire. It had been a few years, but the memory was still fresh. I had seen her then.
I stood up into a puddle-turned-lake, my shoes soaked through. Socks becoming a soggy, squishy mush on my toes. The one day a year my mother would come to visit, and I was a squeaky, squashy sopping mess. I tucked my hair into my hood lifting it onto my head. Darkness settled over the city casually, extending its fingers cloud by cloud, star by star until a light dusting of blackness blanketed my way home. I hoped she would show.

After last week's episode ended with the brutal beat-down of Berseker and the tragic death of his Master, this week we take a step away from the break-neck action and the flurry of plot developments as the narrative's focus returns to our protagonists. 'Winter Days, The Form Wishes Take', offers a much needed respite from the mountain of tension that the last couple of episodes built up and gives the audience some time to consider the importance and implications of just what went down. That said, the episode presents us with plenty to chew on as well; Shinji's mysterious blonde Servant isn't quite as mysterious any more – he is Gilgamesh, the mythical demi-god from the Epic of Gilgamesh – but the real surprising this week was Lancer's return to relevance. We haven't seen the man in blue since the very first episodes of the series' but it turns out that not only is he not such a bad guy, he is also surprisingly open to cooperating with Shirou and Rin. Even with his help however, the situation looks far from hopeful – not only are they outnumbered, but given the kind of firepower Team Caster has, they are likely also outgunned. For all these plot advancements, the episode offers up a fair bit of comic relief as well as a brief return to one of my favourite elements of the series – Shirou's state of mind.
As was the case with Berserker two episodes ago, I found the revelation of Gilgamesh's identity to be extremely lackluster. A Heroic Spirit of his calibre deserves better than to just have his name blurted out by the likes of Shinji. I'm assuming that his identity is explored more thoroughly in the Fate route of the visual novel, but still, it feels disappointing to just hear his named tossed out like that, without any build up. I'm don't know what a better way would have been – certainly, I don't want anything as ridiculously dramatic as a drumroll but so far, it feels like the show has gotten the unveiling of the Servants' identities more wrong than right. In any case, more than Gilgamesh's actions and origins, both of which I'll touch on in a bit, I find myself fascinated with his legend and how it relates to the story. We are given a solid amount of information (and I won't question how Shirou and Rin know so much about him, clearly the Japanese education system is much better than my country's) and from what we are told, he sounds terrifying. One of the myths surrounding the Holy Grail is that it grants any man who drinks from it eternal life which would make it an artefact very much in line with Gilgamesh's origin story. Not only is he known in this series' universe (and I'm trying my best to separate the series' version of the legend from its real-world counterpart) as the seeker of eternal youth, but he is also clearly someone who enjoys hoarding treasures. The Holy Grail is considered, quite literally, the rarest of treasures and in fact, something that is often sought but can never be found. Its appeal to a Heroic Spirit like Gilgamesh is obvious but more importantly, Gilgamesh is the first Servant for whom this connection feels natural – you could make a case for Medea, queen of magic, wanting such a powerful mystical object but the Grail doesn't really have anything to do with the likes of Heracles or Sasaki Kojiro. We aren't just told about Gilgamesh's legend however; we are also given a convenient power comparison. Shirou and Rin don't think that there is a big gap between Gilgamesh, Berserker and Saber but given the way the Gilgamesh took Berserker out, you have to worry that Saber won't stand much of a chance either. In fact, Saber's inclusion on that list itself feels strange, largely because it feels like we haven't seen a great deal from her. We have been told repeatedly that she is the 'strongest' class of Servant but clearly, that didn't account for Gilgamesh. Despite him very clearly not being good news for our heroes, it just feels difficult to dislike the man. There is a certain bravado about him, or perhaps it's just pure arrogance, that is refreshing to see. He isn't wary of danger like Saber or sneaky like Caster, he is so confident in his abilities (and not for nothing either) that he fears no challenge and acknowledges no equal. In some sense, he is similar to Archer in that both men talk a big game but can also back those words up if they need to. He feels like the antagonist this series deserves, someone whose defeat would feel like an accomplishment. Right now, it feels like there is positively a glut of antagonists in this series – Archer, Caster, Kirei, Gilgamesh, Assassin – and it will be very interesting to see if the story will be able to resolve these conflicts satisfactorily.
As is often the case with this series, each question answered raises a whole host of others. Gilgamesh's identity was one of the longer standing mysteries in the series and while it does explain a few things such as how he was able to handle Berserker so easily, it does force us to ask questions of a different sort. The first of these is his very existence – since the beginning, it was stated that there would be seven Servants and seven Masters. However, just in this episode, Rin explicitly calls him an eighth Servant but doesn't seem too confused by his presence. Does this mean he exists outside of the rules of the Holy Grail War? He existed without being summoned by his 'Master' which has to make you wonder, is Shinji even really his Master in the first place? We never see Shinji's Command Seals, nor do we ever see any kind of summoning ritual take place but on the other hand, it would be ludicrous to think that a Servant of Gilgamesh's stature would submit to a brat like Shinji unless he was his Master. Still, considering how Rin had to pretty much strong arm Archer into obedience, and how we've seen Caster kill her first Master, I just can't see Shinji saying or doing anything that would impress Gilgamesh enough to put up with him, unless it's their mutual fascination with murder and general misery. In any case, this leads us to two further questions – who summoned Gilgamesh and how does Kirei just casually happen to have a Servant like Gilgamesh lying around? The answer to both might have been staring us in the face all the while – what if Gilgamesh is Kirei's Servant? It would be a gross violation of the rules of the War – after all, you can hardly be an overseer and a participant but Kirei has already demonstrated that he is not above corruption. Of course, this theory isn't perfect – we never see Kirei summon Gilgamesh nor do we see his Command Seals but it makes sense in terms of the characters matching up – Kirei is cold and mean enough for someone like Gilgamesh to work with and we have already seen that the two of them are pretty chummy. So where does Shinji come into this theory of mine? Well, it could just be misdirection – by pretending to be Shinji's Servant, Gilgamesh could lay low (relatively speaking) and take out the other Masters without arousing suspicion (though, honestly, even if suspicion was raised, it's not like there's a regulating body that could punish him). It would also give Kirei a proxy through which he could go about obtaining the Grail without exposing himself.
Speaking of the Grail, we learned a few episodes ago that Ilya had fused with the Lesser Grail but it turns out that that is a reversible process as Gilgamesh performs some crude open-heart field surgery on Ilya's corpse to extract the artefact. Caster has been searching high and low for this Lesser Grail, going so far as to take over Kirei's church in search of it but if it was in Ilya all this while, then we must ask how exactly Gilgamesh knew that it would be inside Ilya? Furthermore, if this Lesser Grail is powerful enough that Caster would risk painting a target on her back for it, then why was Ilya not able to put up more of a fight before her death? Caster's comments regarding the two Grails were cryptic at best, but she seemed to imply that the Lesser Grail was a key to the Greater, which would seem to indicate that Gilgamesh now has one of the essential ingredients to unlocking it, and only requires the other Servants' deaths in order to do so. The odd thing, however, is that neither Rin nor Shirou seem to know about this Lesser Grail and as such don't really seem to realize what Gilgamesh's objective was in all of this. This is fair enough – Caster's expansive knowledge of magic and Gilgamesh's de facto access every legendary artefact ever conceived could very well explain how they know that there will be two Grails, not just one. There is also 'another' girl who will suffice as a vessel, according to Gilgamesh but who this other girl is or what she will be a vessel for is unclear for now, though apparently Shinji knows the answer to both those questions. The Lesser Grail's incredibly short shelf-life ostensibly saves Shirou and Rin from following Ilya and Berserker into the grave, but that's odd in itself. Killing Rin and Shirou wouldn't have taken more than a moment for Gilgamesh, so surely he must have had other motives for keeping them around, despite direct instructions from his 'Master' to do otherwise. It bugs me when antagonists leave heroes alive despite having every reason and opportunity to kill them off – for example, Ilya leaving Rin and Shirou alive in the first season despite very clearly outclassing both of them in every way. Gilgamesh does seem more likely to spare someone on a whim than say, Caster, but at the same time, this makes it the second time in this season alone that Shirou and Rin have survived based solely on an enemy Servant's mercy (the first time being Archer asking Caster to let Rin and Shirou leave alive). It isn't quite a plot hole but it certainly isn't the strongest piece of storytelling either.
It's been a while since we've gotten inside Shirou's head and unfortunately, it's just as warped a place as it was before. We've talked about Shirou's extreme survivor's guilt before and in this episode, he pretty much states it outright. It seems that he tries his hardest to rescue everyone he can, regardless of the cost, not just because he wants them safe and out of danger, but also because he wants to feel like his own salvation was justified. The scene with him walking past other people crying for help was absolutely chilling and goes a long way in explaining why Shirou is the way he is – in the past, he has failed to save others, possibly people he knew and loved but instead of dying for this sin, he was saved and even now, his mind can't reconcile this karmic mismatch. Of course, form the audience's perspective but it's absurd to expect a five year old child to rescue anyone in a situation like that but it isn't really that much of a stretch to think that Shirou would feel remorse at not being able to do more. It feels like Shirou isn't just trying to save everyone, he is subconsciously seeking some sort of martyrdom as well, as though his death in the process of saving someone would fix the mistake that fate made in letting him live. What makes Shirou's case particularly unhealthy is the way he feels responsibility of others deaths even if he had nothing to do with it – in this particular case, he grieves for Ilya, despite knowing that he owed her nothing (the last time they met, she tried to kill him, after all) and despite knowing that he was not in any way responsible for her death. He grieves for despite not knowing that they were siblings of a sort and not knowing how fitting it was that he should bury her. It's a little difficult to properly articulate what the crux of the disagreement between Shirou and Rin is but I do appreciate that the show doesn't really make it seem like either is without its flaws – sure, Shirou's dedication to sacrifice himself for the good of others isn't ideal but neither is Rin's view that people should always put themselves first. There's some room for compromise on either side and we'll see if either character is able to reach.
What Shirou's actions do cement is that he is an inherently good kid, which is something the audience has known for a while now, but it's something that Lancer takes note of as well. Lancer's reintroduction into the show feels surprising, but it shouldn't. With Gilgamesh not particularly interested in cooperating and Berserker dead and defeated, it means that Lancer is literally the last person that Shirou and Rin could turn to in order to defeat Team Caster. It's still a big ask – the last time Lancer and Archer fought, they reached a stalemate though neither had brought out their respective Noble Phantasms. Archer has some Lancer-specific tricks up his sleeve but on the other hand, Lancer's Noble Phantasm sounds extremely lethal though the only time we've seen it so far, it's thankfully come up short in finishing Saber. Even if Lancer is able to handle Archer, which is far from certain, Rin's insistence that she can 'blindside' Caster sounds ridiculous. Caster's knowledge of magic has been established as far out-striping any modern mage's and while Rin did manage to get some hits in the last time they faced each other, it would mean that Rin and Shirou will have to face Kuzuki, Caster and possibly Saber. You'd have to be crazy to take those odds. Lancer's return also brought with it a good bit of comic relief with Rin being comically reluctant to admit her feelings for Shirou, despite it being painfully obvious to everyone else. The change is tone is somewhat jarring but I also feel that it spoils some of the dramatic tension – the second Lancer starts acting goofy, you know that he's not suddenly going to turn around butcher the two. It's the same way that Shinji's hammy speeches sort of ensure that nothing too serious is about to go down. The funny bits aren't exactly unwelcome either though since the episodes can get rather heavy with them and even in this particular instance, there are some interesting bits of dialogue interspersed within. The first is Shirou's condition for accepting Lancer's help (which given how desperate their situation is, seems like an odd way of thinking of it) – at first it seems utterly bone-headed. However, given who Lancer is, it makes some degree of sense though I'm not certain that I'm not giving him too much credit. There is also the question just who Lancer's Master is and why he is still hidden in the shadows. Him offering Lancer to Shirou and Rin makes me think that he is someone that they both know and someone who's looking out for them though of course, that would clash with him killing Shirou twice in the first two episodes. In any case, given how badly off they would be without him, I think we can join our heroes in not looking a gift Lancer in the mouth.
The episode ends with yet another mention of our favourite piece of jewellery. The pendant that refuses to make sense is back and I feel as though the characters are hitting me on the head with it but I'm still not getting it. Clearly, there is only one pendant, which means either Shirou's or Archer's is fake. Neither makes sense – if Archer's is real, where did Shirou's come from? If Shirou's is real, why would Archer leave behind a fake one? It seems very clear that both Shirou and Rin have a better idea of who Archer is what is going on than I do and that's a little frustrating but it seems that we're building up to him before figuratively unmasked and hopefully the show handles that better than it has the other reveals so far.
P.S. Apologies for the wait and the length. My computer blue screened and I ended up losing half the stuff I had written and then tried to make up for it. Also, shoutout to highfirex for his/her Crunchyroll guest pass! Thanks a lot!

Why Should You Opt For Timber Flooring?
Did you know choosing a type of flooring for your home has a lot to say about the type of person you are? Well, that is because flooring has a lot to do with defining how much you value your home and how well do you keep it. However, when it comes to choosing the best type of flooring for their house is something not very easy because literally everything has their pros and cons. But to make it easier for you, we personally feel that out of all the available options, timber flooring is the best thing you can invest on. Let's find out reasons why you should opt for timber flooring.
Natural Look
Timber flooring is basically wood and the appealing qualities of wood is something that cannot be ignore. When you place timer vinyl plank flooring Perth to your home, it adds up to the aesthetics of the look and decor of the house, hence, gives it more of a natural look that is incomparable to other available options. In fact, the best part about timber is that there is a huge variety in this so you can choose anything that would set well with the furniture and wall paint of your house.
Increases Value
Even though you are not looking forward to sell your property anytime soon but if you have installed timber flooring in your home, know that you have automatically have the value of the property increased at a much greater level. Don't believe it? Ask any real estate agent to drop by your house before and after the renovation has been done and see it for yourself.
Wood is known to be one of the best insulators, hence, they have the properties to work well throughout any season. They are known to provide a well maintained temperature during the winters as well as summers so you would always feel comfortable at your home throughout the year.
Unlike other available options for flooring, wood is the best one to have installed especially if you are someone who has a baby at home or personally prefers walking on the floor barefoot as the surface is soft and doesn't damage your feet at all which is not the case with other floorings. As a result, timber is the best available flooring here you should choose if you prefer comfort over anything else.
Last but not the least, timber flooring is very easy to clean and maintain despite the fact that you have a busy schedule and are not fond of regular cleaning, it is not prone to be getting debris or dirt very quickly. A simple mopping and sweeping would be enough to give you cleaner results.

January in Kaliningrad this was not. Despite being, geographically, a mere 513 miles to the northeast, this was far, far from the westernmost Russian city where Moscow-born Gosha Rubchinskiy showed his Fall 2017 collection. St. Petersburg in summer's ascent is sublime: Surging rivers ribbon their way through the old streets, the teal-and-gold livery of the Winter Palace gleams under a sun that scarcely sets, and lilacs pierce the open-air paths of Isaakievskaya Ploshchad. It is fantastical in scale, library thick in lore, and crisp despite the humidity from the nearby Gulf of Finland—enough to partially cure, say, the hangover of a red-eye haul from New York to Helsinki followed by a cramped puddle jump to Pulkovo Airport.
Of course, St. Petersburg is a city with much greater and grander a history than Kaliningrad. Rubchinskiy was particularly interested in its somewhat more recent legacies of two divergent categories: football and electronica. Regarding football, it is acknowledged that soccer first took hold in Russia via St. Petersburg. During the late 19th century, British merchants began to popularize the sport here. It was the Brits who founded Russia's very first football association, the St. Petersburg Football Club, in 1879. The Russians followed in 1897 with their own official debut group: the Kruzhok Liubiteley Sporta, or, translated, the "Circle of Sport Lovers." Fast-forward 121 years, and Russia will be hosting the 21st FIFA World Cup in 2018. The event has inspired Rubchinskiy to bring his collection home and ink a collaboration partnership with Adidas, which debuted in Kaliningrad and carried on this evening in St. Petersburg. Next season will also be shown in Russia, in a yet-to-be-decided city—though, the designer admits, it won't be Moscow.
As for electronica, Rubchinskiy is an ardent fan of Timur Novikov, the artist and Warholian peterburzhec credited with creating the first Russian rave just before the USSR's collapse. Tonight's show venue—the Communication Workers' House of Culture on Bolshaya Morskaya Ulitsa—reportedly hosted St. Petersburg's first-ever such event in 1989. Rubchinskiy picked the spot to invoke the "ghosts" of revelers past—an especially freewheeling, experimental crowd partying deep into the fading (and post-) Soviet night. "Football, music, nightlife, fashion—all help to unite people," said Rubchinskiy, borderline reverentially, of his broader thinking.
The clothes, self-described as a "mix of sportswear with a nightclub rave feeling," managed to blend Rubchinskiy's fountainheads effectively; this collection had significant range and guaranteed general appeal, despite its subtly (but specifically) anthemic notes to its host city. This is the designer's most valuable strength: He has, more acutely of late but throughout his nine-year career (yes, he's been in business that long), used Russia as source material but given it a salable, globally naïf lean. Just don't call it the "Eastern Bloc look," anymore (more on this in a moment).
Rubchinskiy unveiled yet another collaboration, this time with Burberry, to pay respects to the football "heritage" the British instituted so very long ago. (This aspect also further added to the more tailored and dressier elements that first surfaced last season.) Burberry's Christopher Bailey sat smiling in the front row. The best in the series was a bichrome trench, half khaki and half black, with the house's signature tawny plaid lining its collar; perfectly Burberry, perfectly Gosha. The Adidas linkup provided full kits, ready for the pitch, replete with shin guard socks as well as strappy new sneakers. And the clubbier pieces included acid-bright tops with sicko sicko '90s iconography and motifs (including a great reworking of Rubchinskiy's name in Cyrillic), hot pink track pants, barely there tanks, and even a flak vest with room for a water bottle—for when morning inevitably rolls around but the party is still going. There were also hats made by Stephen Jones for Burberry for Rubchinskiy, including a baseball cap, as well as a collaboration with Retrosuperfuture on throwback shades. (Sometimes one couldn't tell the difference between the main line and a collaborative branch—not that that's a bad thing, as all of it looked good together.) Laughing, Rubchinskiy said: "There's a lot of collaborating, but it all tells the story."
A story that was, at the end of the white night, pretty damn convincing. This was an energized Rubchinskiy—maybe even optimistic—and while it meandered from direct sportswear to mismatched striped or plaid suiting (sometimes with a smart double-belt styling trick), it felt confident and it felt current. Yes, the raving bits were based on a post-Soviet headspace, but generally, the Rubchinskiy look is now something a bit less nail-on-the-head and a bit more freewheeling: Kids will be kids, no matter where they are in the world, and if they want to wear neon track pants and a batwing hoodie, they're going to say fuck off if you tell them otherwise. And that's, essentially, the message: There was a lot of spunk and grit—pride, really—in this collection, and it was well earned.

What do you do in your day job/life? Aside from finishing my PhD, I manage the academic side of a chain of language schools that teaches English through a love for literature and writing.
What's the earliest thing you remember writing?
The earliest story that I remember writing was about a koala family when I was in Grade 2. It was only about a page long, but I knew then that I wanted to be an author.
When do you like to write?
My golden time for writing tends to be between 2 and 4am.
If you could brunch with anyone, who would it be?
Stephen Fry, David Attenborough, or their spectacular hybrid clone.
Most important thing the Internet has taught you:
Even when something isn't true, it still serves as great inspiration for writing.
A quotation you have used more than once:
'The best teacher is experience and not through someone's distorted point of view' from Jack Kerouac's On the Road
What's next?
A children's novel about cosmonaut chipmunks.

So I finally finished most of the artwork for the "if" section of my programming website for kids. It seems that the Java VM has improved a bit since I last used it. I'm finally getting consistent synchronization behaviour between when my applet running in a web broswer and my applet running stand-alone. And Swing now seems to support automatic text cut&paste with Windows applications (sigh, all of this could have been avoided if they used native widgets!).
And I'm now starting the section on loops. I've spent a few months thinking about this topic, but I'm still not sure about what the best approach is.
In traditional programming books about BASIC, the loop section would talk about FOR...NEXT loops:
FOR n=1 to 5
REM Stuff that happens 5 times
NEXT n
Unfortunately, the Javascript for loop is a little bit cryptic (especially since I haven't covered increment operators, the less-than operator, or the greater-than operator). Additionally, the convention for loops is that they start at 0. But, people are more comfortable with loops that start incrementing at 1 (like in BASIC). However, if I use 1-based loops throughout my examples, people might get confused when they later start working with normal code.
I suppose I could treat the syntax of the "for" loop as gobbledygook that should be treated as a black-box. This then reduces the number of concepts that need to be understood to work with loops.
Another alternative is that I could start with while loops. The advantage is that the word "while" actually means something, so it might be easier to understand. Unfortunately, there isn't all that much that one can do with a while loop without understanding the concept of sentry variables, which involves teaching 2 or 3 abstract concepts all at the same time.
I could teach the concept of the infinite loops first via "while(true)," but assuming that I don't teach boolean algebra beforehand (which I don't), then the whole command would need to be treated as a black-box, defeating the whole purpose of starting with the "while" loop in the first place. Then, I could follow that by teaching the concept of using "break" to break out of loops. This seems a little odd to me because no one else teaches loops in this way. Perhaps the "breaking out of loops" concept is simply too abstract a concept. But it does seem like a lot less work than discussing sentry variables and such.
Well, I don't know. For the past few months, I've been keen on the idea of starting with the while loop, but now I'm starting to come around to the idea of starting with infinite for loops. I'll have to ponder this some more.

UPDATED, 19 April 2016: There is a gated section on the descent to the SF Alsea Rd. below Prairie Peak. This is a new red gate with a forbidding sign and cameras. One can get through, but doing so pretty clearly constitutes trespass.
Readers of the website will recall The Logging Road Cyclists' fondness for Prairie Mountain. He has been all over it, with one glaring exception: the high point lying roughly east of Gunsight Pass. When looking at Prairie from around Corvallis, this is a prominent feature, but TLRC had always just gone to the more glorious and higher (by 100′) Prairie Peak with it's spectacular views, or miserable weather, depending. Short of geographical curiosity, there isn't much reason to go to the East Summit itself, unless added in as a little bonus to the Prairie Mountain Loop. There is a nice summit meadow, disfigured by antennae, and a subsidiary lower meadow that does have nice views to the east.
Feeling adventurous, but not too much so, TLRC headed off up the well-trodden Tobe Cr. Rd. with the East Summit as a goal. The day was bright, beautiful and very cold. Still besotted by his new mistre…uh, 29er, he had left the old faithful Desavlo hanging in the garage. The had had a lot of good days together, to be sure, but (TLRC mused), perhaps like so many steadfast couples they has begun to grow apart of late. Nothing serious, but the shiny new light Lynskey, with its comfortable big tires and promise of trail excitement not easily gotten on the Desalvo had turned the TLRC head. Was he fickle? TLRC thought not, but was considering taking up the issue at his next men's group meeting, or perhaps in the drum circle. He would eschew discussing it after yoga. Given the high percentage of female practitioners he felt unsure about getting a fair hearing.
Not that the new philly was without her little problems. There was a persistent snick snick snick coming from somewhere. It was hard to pin down on gravel. Not a brake pad…not sprues on the new tires…hopefully not one of the brand new King hubs…TLRC's excitement with his new ride held off the inevitable loss of temper for a good ten miles or so, after which he was on and off the bike trying to reproduce the sound while walking so as not to bean himself by riding while trying to get his ear down by the front hub, all the while trying to remember that he was probably the most patient fellow one could meet. At the same time, he was also checking for slip on the new carbon seat post that had also been providing a wonderful tool for cultivating calmness. He had carbon-pasted it, ever so carefully crept up on the torque, to no avail. Finally he cut a piece of seat post shim and affixed a second clamp on the seat post above the seat tube. This seemed to be holding, and incidentally guarding TLRC against encroaching insanity from the snick snick snick, until, when leaning forward to listen once again, his thigh hit the nose of his saddle and the seat swung about 45 degrees out of alignment. But it didn't slip down.
It seemed a longer than usual ride up to Gunsight pass. Heading east, TLRC found the road up to the East summit without much trouble and briefly enjoyed the sun and weird antenna array.
TLRC decided to risk the ice on the Alsea Falls road and make a loop of it. Buttoning up, he found his way down Coleman Creek and then picked his way through the ice patches on the paved road back to the truck. On the way, he determined that the snicking was a loose valve stem with no nut on it. In Philomath, he bought some brass shim stock which seemed to snug up the seat post…..

Why monitor climate in Glacier Bay?
The National Park Service Inventory & Monitoring program operates long-term ecological monitoring programs for parks including Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. "Weather and Climate" is one of the park's 12 priority Vital Signs. Additional climate monitoring is being proposed to help managers understand future changes in key park resources and ecological processes that may result from climate change such as glacial ice mass wasting, shifts in marine salinity and nutrients, changing composition of plant communities, and the spread of invasive species.
What would monitoring stations do?
Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) would record air and soil temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, and snow depth data. Stations would be powered by solar panel or methanol fuel cell. In addition to storing data, each station would also transmit hourly weather conditions and sensor condition by satellite. Hourly weather condition information would be available over the internet to help improve National Weather Service forecasts and to aid park visitor trip planning and safety.
Where would stations be located?
A grid of stations was designed to capture conditions along the west-east, north-south, and high-low elevation gradients in the park. Sites in Dry Bay, Deception Hills, Lituya Bay, Queen Inlet, Glacier Bay's Lower West Arm, upper Muir Inlet, and Brady Icefield are being considered for installation of new weather stations. Park resources that may be affected by such installations include wilderness value and character, wildlife, vegetation, natural soundscapes, visitor experience, and culturally-sensitive areas.
Where can I learn more about the NPS Climate and Weather monitoring program?
Follow the link below to read more about NPS climate monitoring projects in Southeast Alaska parks.
What's next?
There will be an informational public meeting at the Gustavus Public Library on May 19, 2015 at 7:00 PM. Please join us!
The NPS is asking for your review and comment on the Environmental Assessment (EA) including the range of alternatives, resources affected, and the potential impacts to these resources. The EA is now available at the following link. You may also submit comments using this link: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=12&projectID=44972&documentID=53961
You may also submit comments by email or by postal mail at:
Glacier Bay National Park
If you have questions about the proposed climate station program please contact Allison Banks by phone at 907-697-2611, or by email.
Please submit all comments by close of business on June 12, 2015.
