7 Ways The Realities Of Modern Culture Are Destroying Men
Posted on April 4, 2016
Unless you're consciously resisting modern ways of living, your masculinity is being eroded:
Any man who has taken the red pill is acutely aware of the reality of what modern dating and society holds for him. But he, along with many others who remain ignorant, are not necessarily aware of the way they've been changing as a response to the unnatural conditions they find themselves in. While many have changed for the better after having been enlightened, there are many others who continue to struggle by being stuck in a single phase—perhaps for the rest of their lives.
How To Securely Communicate And Meet With Thought Criminals
Posted on March 31, 2016
After the meetup outrage of February 2016, it's time we take stronger security precautions when communicating and meeting:
Men on RVF have been meeting for years. This was primarily done through the private messaging system where personal email addresses and phone numbers were exchanged. Because of the additional heat that is on us, and the fact that messages sent on the forum are not encrypted, I no longer advise you to share personal details on the forum, even through private messages. Instead, you need to set up these two means of communication…
6 Questions You Must Answer Before Preventing The Downfall Of Your Society
Posted on March 28, 2016
It's not prudent to start fighting before doing an analysis of yourself and that of your society:
Politically speaking, who are the enemies? Feminists and the progressive left, or the elites (governments, banks, media, and corporations) who control them? What are you going to do about them? There are some of you who think the two are one and the same, but I disagree. The Occupy protests have shown that the left has beef with the Elites as well.
Are the Elites keeping their power and control over us by employing a divide and conquer strategy with the left and the right? If so, are you willing to make a temporary, unholy alliance with the left?
Are you going to relax and enjoy the decline or will you try your best to accelerate it? Is collapse the only way for a real change or is it possible to turn things around peacefully and smoothly?
What Type Of Future Can Young Men Look Forward To?
Posted on March 24, 2016
The future is looking increasingly bleak for young men:
On Christmas Day I spent time with four of my male cousins, ranging in age from 15 to 24. While I'm not quite their mentor, they are receptive to lessons I give them. With any man I talk to, I try to identify where he is in life and what his unique situation is to give advice that I think will help him reach his next goal. This year, however, I had trouble giving much in the way of advice or motivation.
59 Powerful Quotes That Reveal The True Nature Of Women
Posted on March 21, 2016
Corey Savage shows that men of old fully realized the natural tendencies of women:
"She is at the mercy of circumstances just as the sand is at the mercy of the wind;" whilst we are further told that, "although woman reads and studies endlessly, her thought is always an afterthought."
The Russian is of the same opinion, for, according to him, "a woman's hair is long, but her sense short," and "a dog is wiser than a woman, he does not bark at his master."
Tamil proverbial wisdom declares that "the skill of a woman only goes so far as the fireplace"—in other words, cleverness is no use to a woman outside domestic affairs.
How Patriarchy Will Return
Posted on March 17, 2016
I propose a mechanism whereby patriarchy will return to the Western world:
There are many paths to truth, and once a man has attained what he believes is the correct reality, he will execute one of two options: (1) escape from the effects of the oppressive narrative by structuring his lifestyle to avoid its most severe faults, or (2) try to impose his righteous narrative upon society.
I tried the first option by expatriating to foreign lands, but have soon watched large components of that narrative follow me, most commonly through Western technology. I have moved to option two by actively resisting efforts of the far left narrative that is currently dominant in the West. Seed resistance can come in many forms…

How To Apply Neomasculinity To Raising A Child
Posted on March 14, 2016
Many men have an end goal of raising children. Here is one way to go about it:
Not too long ago I had to attend an obligatory sporting event for the children at my school. Each participant was rewarded medals solely for their participation. If you do not see anything wrong with this, then you represent one of the many brainwashed masses conditioned to believe everyone is a winner just for showing up.
Instead we should be helping today's children realize the plethora of untapped potential they inherently possess, not instilling this level of subconscious complacency that governs their demeanor. I cannot speak on the future of females to come but there was once a time that boys were brought up to be men.
It is bewildering how being urbane has been traded in for man buns and other androgynous trends. Whether you plan on starting a family, have a job that pertains to dealing with children, or have been recently introduced to the red pill, be the walking advertisement for how men should be.

How One Of King Arthur's Tales Shows A Vital Masculine Lesson
Posted on March 10, 2016
ROK's resident monk Aurelius Moner shares an important story:
On New Year's Eve a young King Arthur is at court with his merry knights and their ladies, in the middle of Christmastide feasting. Everyone has been served, but Arthur has the custom of not eating his first meal of the year until he has heard a tale of some marvel or feat.
Suddenly a gigantic man, green from head to toe, with green eyes and beard, on a green horse, rides into the hall and challenges the "beardless young lads" (a knock at the fresh youth of Arthur and his knights) to a game: he will let one man of the hall take a swing at his head with his great, green axe; but on New Year's day of the coming year, that man must come to find him at the Green Chapel, and offer his neck to the axe in turn.
How Men Are Being Socialized To Act Like Women
Posted on March 7, 2016
I write about the dangers of spending too much time with women:
Thanks to feminism, and the penis envy it installs in women, men no longer have spaces where females are not present. They have invaded education and workplaces at all levels. They are present in coffee houses, formerly male clubs, and even barber shops. Not only are men no longer able to "practice" being a man around other men without fear of offending the opposite sex, they are unconsciously picking up female mannerisms and ideas at the same time that females are picking up on male mannerisms.
Because the sexes are not segregated, women are becoming masculinized and men are becoming feminized. This is greatly harming male development and creating a generation of feminized men who are confused about their identity and masculinity.
Masculine Strengths And Weaknesses In Germanic Tribes
Posted on March 3, 2016
Rick Moser takes a historical look into the Germanic tribes:
Tacitus presented barbarian hero Arminius as a pillar of masculinity. In the first century A.D., the Roman empire swept across Europe until one man stood up to them. Due to his intimate knowledge of Rome's military, Arminius subverted the empire and ended their conquest.
Defeated tribal chiefs were forced to give up their firstborn sons to Rome as hostages in case their tribe attempted a rebellion. At a very young age, Arminius was given up by his father Segimer of the Cheruscans, and subsequently transported to Rome, where he received a classic education and military training to fight for Rome.
This story causes me to reflect. Do we not see a similar characteristic of today's education system? Traditional parents are forced to put their children in public schools, where they are indoctrinated by social justice proponents to hate their parents and fight for a revolution. Is Rome's strategy for conquest much different today?

The Fallacy Of Magazine Capacity Limitations

As usual, anti-gun laws like this would only hinder and impact the law abiding citizen in their self-defense capacity.

Why Is Higher Education So Expensive?
It's no secret that U.S. college tuition costs are rising dramatically, and the high cost of a college education burdens young people and their families. How can we make college more affordable?
Many suggest that the best way to keep tuition affordable is by increasing government assistance through student loans, grants, and tax credits for education. Professor Daniel Lin shows that doing so will actually lead to higher college costs, because loans/grants/tax credits are directly related to the increasing cost of education.

Many argue that we should do more for the poor as a matter of social justice.

That redesign should begin by determining what the proper role of government is.

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has placed his expectations even higher after his side took their tally to 14 goals in eight days with a 4-0 rout of Real Sociedad.
Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez were again the stars of the show as they were all on target to take the South American trio's combined total in 2015 to an incredible 125 goals. Victory moved Barça nine points clear of eternal rivals Real Madrid, who face Eibar on Sunday, at the top of La Liga just a week after inflicting a humiliating 4-0 defeat on Los Blancos at the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, having also guided Barça to a treble of La Liga, UEFA Champions League and Copa del Rey last season, Enrique refused to admit he was experiencing his sweetest moment as Barça boss.
"What interests me is to see that the team is at a very high level," he said. "It is normal to have ups and downs in any season. I am not that interested in whether it is the best moment because I always hope the best moment is still to come. It is not a cliche, there is a long way to go and we will all drop points between now and the end of the season. That we are in a good moment is undoubtable and that the players are enjoying it is evident, but the players are very intelligent. There is no team in the world that has won a league in November or December."
Neymar opened the scoring for Enrique's men at the Camp Nou when he swept home Dani Alves's cross midway through the first-half before Suarez dispatched another Alves cross in more spectacular style to double the advantage. And after Neymar had rolled home a third at the start of the second-half, he and Suarez set about trying to tee up Messi for his first league goal since September in just his third appearance since returning from knee ligament damage. The four-time FIFA Ballon d'Or winner seemed set to miss out after hitting the bar four minutes from time, but Neymar finally picked out his team-mate in stoppage time for the simplest of finishes to round off the scoring.
"The important thing is at the start of the game to resolve the games in the best way possible and, once the game is under control at 3-0, I understand that it happens," added Enrique over Neymar and Suarez's work to get Messi on the scoresheet. "They work together so well that for them the party isn't complete (until they all score)."
And after so much success over the past decade, Alves insisted the hype surrounding Barça's stunning form of late won't lead to complacency.
"We are not losing sight of who we are, independent of the form we are in," the Brazilian said. "We know this profession is like this. You are not so good when you win, or so bad when you lose. At the end of the season we can make a judgement, but the compliments will not weaken us."

It's nearly 2017. A new year awaits. Will it be a good year, a difficult year, a happy year, a sad year?
One thing is certain, none of us really know. As I look back over my life, every year has had highs & lows. Mostly my life has been exciting & exhilarating. Yes, even the past 6 years fall into that category despite my health failing me.
Each year, no matter my circumstances, new & exciting opportunities have always presented & I have had a sense of purpose.
As I approach this new year, I feel like I am lacking that sense of anticipation I usually have. Maybe because I'm in ridiculous pain with my leg at the moment. Maybe because I know I have major surgery ahead mid year. Maybe because it just feels like more of the same lies ahead. Maybe because everything about my future just feels so uncertain & the reality is I am, for the moment, trapped in a world where I can't make plans for tomorrow let alone the year ahead.
So, that can all sound rather depressing & if I allow myself to continue thinking that way I will never dare to dream, dare to hope, dare to have faith that there could be something exciting & exhilarating around the corner.
I love this quote from Martin Luther King Jnr
"You don't have to see the whole staircase, you just have to take the first step"
That's it! I just need to step into the 1st January 2017 & take each day one at a time, step by step. The details, the plans, the hopes, dreams, twists & turns will unravel as I go. I believe God is ultimately in control. I don't believe He causes difficult things to happen to us but I do know, by faith, that He gives me the strength, resolve & ability to deal with the good, the bad & the downright awful.
It is an uncertain New Year but every New year is like that. Despite the uncertainties I still want it to be a year filled with purpose, filled with love & joy, filled with strength to deal with the difficult times, filled with hope when things might seem hopeless.
In my uncertainty, I am beginning to feel a glimmer of hope that 2017 will be a beautiful year & that is my hope for all my family, friends & readers xx
Post Script (7th May 2017)
I wrote the above blog post at the end of last year as the New Year was approaching. I had a sense of losing purpose in my life due to my health. I was enjoying blogging but that was it & I couldn't see anything ahead in 2017 apart from pain, more surgery, pain, repeat.
3 weeks later, I had the idea to start an online support forum, Medical Musings with Friends, as it was concerning me that many people on other support forums had such complex diseases that didn't fit neatly into the particular box that these forums needed ticking. I had an overwhelming sense that chronically ill people needed a broader outlet where they could share as much or as little as they liked.
I started the forum on the 14th January 2017 and a week later, The Mighty published my first article. I nearly didn't submit the article because I felt I would be wasting my time, I felt my writing wasn't good enough. In fact the first submission didn't work as they had a system failure & I received am email 3 weeks after I'd forwarded my first article saying all articles submitted during certain dates must be re submitted.
I again thought there was little point & was about to delete the email when I suddenly felt, "oh just do it…you've got nothing to lose".
That article was published the next day & resulted in over 1000 likes & countless people reading it & finding the forum.
The rest as they say is history.
My purpose for recounting this story & sharing via Post Script, is because they go hand in hand. So often when I've been at the end of my resources & I've felt like there is nothing more but the circumstances that I've found myself in….so often that is the moment when amazing things, things beyond my wildest dreams, are about to happen.
I just needed to be prepared to take a couple of steps….start the forum in faith that others would join & not be afraid to submit an article for publication. Those two actions have turned this year into a purposeful & exciting year.
Don't lose hope if you're feeling like you can't see ahead. Opportunities can present from the flicker of a quiet thought. Life can be exciting & amazing, even from the confines of your home.
Don't be afraid to explore your ideas & see where they lead. You may be wonderfully surprised 💗

On a rainy evening last month in the town of Andes, N.Y., a number of farmers and artisans convened for a harvest dinner. The venue was an 1850s Carpenter Gothic building that had, at various times, been a thriving corner store and a restaurant, but had since fallen into disrepair. There was no heat, no electricity, no kitchen to speak of — and yet the meal, organized by the artist Sean Scherer and the cider-makers Alex Wilson and Irene Hussey, was sumptuous. Produce from prominent local growers such as Lucky Dog Organic, Evans & Evans, Bovina Valley Farms and Burnett Farms was transformed with the help of ovens in a neighboring house, and the buffet boasted roast hens, chutneys, patés, cheeses and custard.
The event perfectly summed up the stalwart spirit of Delaware County, on the far western edge of the Catskills in the watershed that supplies New York City's taps. This area has, in recent years, attracted a growing number of young people who are transforming its rolling dairy pastures and wildflower-dense meadows into a destination for foodies and adventurists alike. Despite the scant amenities — there is little cell reception, quality groceries can be hard to come by and subzero winter nights aren't uncommon — a craft culture is blossoming there. Here, a guide to the artisans producing gorgeous products from the stubborn landscape.
Wayside Cider, East Delhi, N.Y.
Alex Wilson and Irene Hussey launched their small-scale cidery in 2013. Their aim, from the beginning, was to work with the rugged terrain. The partners forage for wild fruit — friends and neighbors alert them via social media to "feral apples" in nearby woods — as well as cultivate old American varieties such as the Roxbury Russet, precision-blending their ferments to produce a range of dry, unfiltered ciders that are earthy and sophisticated. After just two months of distribution, Wayside stopped taking on new accounts because demand far outpaced supply, and their bottles have since become cult products for wine shops and restaurants in the city. The Paris boutique Colette has also taken notice, and last month featured Wayside Cider in its showcase of Catskills talents.
Wilson and Hussey plan to further explore experimental approaches, such as producing "family ciders" using apples from a single wild tree and its progeny, all nurtured within one microclimate. "We can't do orchards like they do in the Hudson Valley, with all these rows of trees," says Wilson. "But that's a massive advantage, because we're interested in doing something much more avant-garde."
FosterBuilt Coffee, Bovina, N.Y.
When Mark Foster, a commercial film and video director, moved to Delaware County a few years ago, he found it impossible to buy a good cup of coffee locally. A hands-on tinkerer, he learned how to fire-roast beans in his garage using a contraption consisting of a rotating basket inside a backyard barbecue. Considering his setup is something you might find tutorials for on sites such as the Art of Manliness, you'd expect the results to be crude. But Foster's beans (he favors varieties from Uganda, Sumatra and Ethiopia) yield brews that are mellow and aromatic — and are served in Brooklyn restaurants like the Pines and Willow.
Kelli Cain Ceramics, Delhi, N.Y.
After years of designing instruments for electronic-music artists (specifically, open-ended controllers used by the likes of Four Tet), Kelli Cain longed to explore a less precise, more organic medium. "I wanted to introduce the idea of chance into my work," she says, and she soon began making ceramics in her home studio. Her wheel-thrown porcelain and stoneware pieces — from coffee drips and citrus juicers to vases and candle holders — are inspired by the interplay of shadow and light. Cain's palette is beautifully minimal — she's experimented with 60 different shades of white alone — and she mixes and perfects the food-safe glazes herself.
Delaware Phoenix Distillery, Walton, N.Y.
To her many admirers in the artisanal-beverage world, Cheryl Lins is a true maverick. Lins founded Delaware Phoenix in 2009 as the first distillery in New York State to produce absinthe since restrictions on the sale of the spirit were eased in 2007. Her three signatures are made using 19th-century French techniques, with locally grown grand wormwood, Roman wormwood, hyssop and lemon balm. (One absinthe, Meadow of Love, also incorporates violets that she tends herself.) Lins has since expanded into whiskey production. Her bourbon, wheat and rye spirits (all distilled using an 1820s base recipe from Kentucky) are made with organic New York State grains in a small-batch copper-pot still rather than the more modern and efficient column still. It's a labor-intensive process that makes for a deeper flavor profile. Lins remains, for the most part, a one-woman operation — "You're really much more self-reliant here in Delaware County," she says — carting her barrels down to the city herself to deliver to vaunted establishments such as Infirmary on the Upper East Side and Maison Premiere in Williamsburg.
Vulto Creamery, Walton, N.Y.
Jos Vulto is something of a legend among New York cheese connoisseurs. Originally from the Netherlands, Vulto began making cheese at home after he moved to Brooklyn in the '90s — aging his experiments in a crawl space under his studio that extended beneath the Williamsburg sidewalk. He began building a creamery upstate in 2009, where he's been producing his standout raw cow's milk wheels such as the Ouleout, a pungent, semisoft washed-rind cheese, and the Walton Umber, a buttery tomme. Another one of Vulto's cheeses, the Miranda, has a deeply personal provenance: It is named for his late wife and is a petite, rosy round washed in Meadow of Love absinthe from the Delaware Phoenix Distillery.
Hudson Made, Andes, N.Y.
Another company that's earned the Colette imprimatur is Hudson Made. Despite its name, this line of plant-based, handcrafted soaps and shaving products takes its inspiration from the historic dairy farms and factories of Delaware County. There is a richly lathering pumice worker's soap, and cedar-clove and citron-neroli bars for taming beards. The company's founder, Bill Hovard, grows skin-rejuvenating botanicals such as calendula and chamomile himself, and incorporates them into luxuriously scented body oils. Hovard, a former branding consultant, also produces beautiful black-walnut cutting boards available at outlets such as Calvin Klein Home.
Greentree Candles, Treadwell, N.Y.
Jenifer Green hand-pours beeswax tapers, columns and sculptural pillars in lovely and sophisticated hues: muted robin's egg blue and spruce green, as well as moodier shades of ash gray and onyx. Most of Green's molds are made in-house, and her range includes candles based on glass pharmacy and perfume bottles from her mother's sizable bottle collection, as well as whimsical offerings inspired by vintage toy clowns and monkeys found at local antiques markets.
Kabinett & Kammer Antiques, Andes, N.Y.
The painter Sean Scherer has created interiors — for the likes of Anderson Cooper, Amy Sedaris and the fashion designers Adam Selman and Jonathan Simkhai — that masterfully juxtapose historic artifacts with contemporary art. (He delights in pairing, for example, modern works such as a Thomas Ruff portrait with 19th-century tintypes.) Scherer's tightly edited antiques shop serves as a showcase for his work, and is brimming with curiosities that celebrate the Catskills's laboring past. "To me, the utilitarian objects that a farmer or craftsman made, whether that's a slaughtering bench or a storage unit, are the most modern and clean and masculine," he says. The frequent gallery shows at his shop highlight the work of upstate artists, and always draw crowds of both locals and visitors. 7 Main Street, Andes, N.Y., kabinettandkammer.com.
Brushland Eating House, Bovina, N.Y.
Run by the Brooklyn restaurant veterans Sohail Zandi and Sara Elbert (he from Prime Meats, she from Frankie's), Brushland offers unpretentious, locally sourced comfort fare such as "one-flip" burgers, tender pork schnitzel and brown-butter blondies. Zandi cooks in the open kitchen, while Elbert works the floor with considerable warmth and charm. The couple regularly hold food-centric gatherings for friends and neighbors — a recent celebration included a lamb-butchering demo and feast by the chef Lee Desrosiers of the Greenpoint eatery Achilles Heel. 1927 County Highway 6, Bovina Center, N.Y., brushlandeatinghouse.com.
Table on Ten, Bloomville, N.Y.
Inez Valk's restaurant and inn, Table on Ten, is a hub for farmers and eaters alike, serving vibrant local greens, skillet eggs and, on weekends, delicious wood-fired pizza (a perennial favorite is the chocolate, ricotta, honey and sea-salt pie). Most of Valk's ingredients are sourced within 20 miles — "a pragmatic reaction to being in the middle of nowhere but surrounded by amazing resources," she notes. Farmers frequently drop in with their bounty, which Valk will work into the day's offerings. During the summer, there is live music outdoors, as well as foraging expeditions with a local herbalist — the spoils of which (including mushrooms and nettle) often make their way onto customers' plates. 52030 Main Street/Route 10, Bloomville, N.Y., tableonten.com.

Bramble Crumble Anyone?
What do you get when you take an ecru yarn, dyes, water, heat, a bit of time, the internet and a crochet hook? Well… I took two of these: Added them to a dye bath and then dried the coloured yarn… overnight….

At this point I had to do a little trialling with crochet hook sizes to decide for the shawl to be soft and drape well I needed to use a 6mm hook rather than the...Read More
One for the Youngster
A 'Promise Present' was given as a Christmas present to my younger son. We were so caught up with negotiating a complete overhaul in our bathroom (including replacing a rotten floor) as well as hosting numerous workshops at the Chapel Gallery, I didn't have time to knit a 'bright green jumper' as was the request. Needless to say I couldn't source just the right kind of green that the boy wanted in 100% natural wool. So I went for ecru aran weight blue...Read More
Colour For My Soul
I need colour. Bright, breezy, uplifting, zingy colour. I have been playing with acid milling dyes. Changing ecru yarn into vivid leafy green gorgeousness. I struggle with what type of artist I am. I always have. I've envied people who KNOW exactly who they are and what they do. Ceramicists, photographers, painters. However, I transcend so many different media: glass, batik, dyeing, textiles, paper, paint, knitting, patchwork, quilting, jewellery…. the list can go on....Read More

Judge Upholds 'Quiet Zone' Around Florida Abortion Clinic
In a setback for Florida anti-choice protesters, a federal judge on Tuesday denied a request for a preliminary injunction against the noise ordinance.
In a setback for Florida anti-choice protesters, a federal judge on Tuesday refused to stop the city of West Palm Beach from enforcing a law mandating a "quiet zone" around an abortion clinic in the city until the issue comes to trial in February.
U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks upheld an ordinance, passed in 2005, that restricts shouting, bullhorns, and other sound amplification devices within 100 feet of all health-care facilities. Middlebrooks' ruling denied the request of anti-choice protesters for a preliminary injunction that would keep the law from being enforced until a full trial.
"I think that [anti-choice protesters] are not substantially likely to prevail on the merits of their First Amendment challenge," Middlebrooks said.
The 2005 ordinance was passed shortly after Presidential Women's Center, the city's only abortion clinic, closed temporarily due to suspected arson. The ordinance also originally mandated a 20-foot "buffer zone" prohibiting protests near clinics, but Middlebrooks struck that down in 2006 on free speech grounds.

In this case, Middlebrooks said, the First Amendment freedoms of anti-choice protesters are not limited, because the law doesn't target them specifically; furthermore, they can still hold signs, talk at a normal volume, and distribute literature outside clinics.
This ruling comes as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule on whether abortion clinic buffer zones in Massachusetts are constitutional, which could affect similar legislation in cities like San Francisco and Portland, Maine.
The ordinance applies to all health-care clinics, but in practice it mostly affects Presidential Women's Center, which is heavily targeted by anti-choice protesters.
Louis Silber, attorney for the women's center, told Rewire that he was pleased with the ruling, and congratulated the City of West Palm Beach and its attorneys for "protecting all patients who seek medical care at health-care facilities, including women who seek care at Presidential Women's Center."


text: Carbon nanotubes may very well kill you (okay, so that's very much a stretch), but you'll have a hard time convincing the dutiful scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to stop their promising research. Put simply (or as simply as possible), said researchers have discovered that "networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes printed onto bendable plastic perform well as semiconductors in integrated circuits." So well, in fact, that the nanotube networks could one day "replace organic semiconductors in applications such as flexible displays." Granted, there is still much to do before these networks are ready for product integration, but you can bet these folks aren't hitting the brakes after coming this far.

Olympus America Inc.
Spec Data:
8 megapixels; 5X optical zoom; 1.5 second boot time; 1.9 second recycle time; 1,775 line average resolution; 1.9% transition pixels
Images have rich colors, are well exposed and sharp; flash shots show great illumination. Solid body, quick boot and recycle times.
Manual focus requires using the jog buttons, menu navigation is slow.
Bottom Line:
The C-8080 is a solid workhorse, and quick one too. Although it takes some hits on ease of use, it produces great images.
This workhorse doesn't have the longest zoom, and its menus are tricky. But the time it takes you to get used to them will be amply rewarded. Excellent picture quality, good depth of features, and a tanklike body make the Olympus Camedia C-8080 Wide Zoom a top choice for serious shooters.
The C-8080's bevy of analog controls are conveniently placed and well marked. The 1.8-inch LCD viewfinder isn't fully articulated, but it can be flipped 180 degrees along the back of the camera. One complaint: To focus manually, you have to use the jog buttons. These work well, but ease of use takes a hit here.
The camera can shoot JPEG, RAW, or TIFF files. It shoots video at 640 by 480 pixels at 15 fps until the memory card is full. Although it has controls for hue and color saturation, the C-8080 is limited to sRGB, not multiple color spaces like the DiMage A2.
The C-8080 has a quick boot time and a good recycle time, but menu navigation is slow. Burst mode allows five images at 1.6 images per second. Our flash shot had rich colors and great illumination, and the daylight shot was well exposed, with good color. All the cameras in this roundup shot good images, but the C-8080's are among the very best.

Neem extract is a well known home remedy for various disorders. It is made by either boiling the neem leaves in water or by grinding fresh neem leaves in paste form to be used directly. Mentioned here are few uses of neem extract for different disorders of human body.
Relieves Inflammation
One of the main constituent of neem extract called 'Nimbidim' is known for reducing inflammation. A study done at the Department of Pharmacology in Rajshahi Medical College, Bangladesh, reinforces this fact with the support of evidences. Neem extract somewhat works like dexamethasone on inflammation.
Cures Skin Diseases
Neem extract is quite effective in treating various skin disorders like ringworm, eczema, scabies, and certain forms of dermatitis too. Scientifically, the neem extract works better if injected into the body as compared to the topical application.
It is a well known fact that neem and neem products are hypoglycemic, as in, it effectively helps in controlling sugar levels in the blood. Thus, a regular intake of neem extract can definitely help in preventing high blood sugar.
Avoids Ulcers
Neem leaves carry glycoside which is an antigastric substance, neem extract can hence avoid the formation of ulcers in stomach or intestines. It is an effective remedy for people suffering from gastric problems.
Avoids Malaria
Neem extract is being used against malaria since ages. It is highly antibactirial and works very well against the malarial parasite called P. falciparum. Have neem extract directly or as neem tea, it would certainly resist the malaria symptoms.
Works as a Contraceptive
Interestingly, neem extract can be used as a birth controller or as a contraceptive. Oral intake of neem extract boosts anti fertility properties and thus, prevents conception.
The most powerful use of neem extract is against the hazardous disease of cancer. Neem is known to carry an antitumor polysaccharide which resists the growth of certain tumors and hence, can help in avoiding cancer. Qualified doctors too, recommend the intake of neem extract to some of the cancer patients.

Of interest to organisations dealing with Community Buildings, Capacity Building, Resilient TSOs, Families, Domestic Violence, Literacy, Employment, Disabled People
The Ibrahim Foundation does not have areas of focus in grant making. They believe those on the front lines in the community best understand the particular needs and where grants will bear the greatest fruits. They look for situations where small amounts of funds will make significant impact.
What For?
They are particularly interested in the following areas:
Community Building
Community Building grants focus on strengthening communities by engaging residents and stakeholders in a process that builds leadership and capacity from within, while respecting and valuing the rich diversity represented in our geographic region. They support efforts to build social capital; a resource defined as the web of relationships and civic participation that improves our ability to address the challenges and opportunities we face as a community. They also recognize that building a community's capacity and leadership is a critical precursor to community involvement for those, who, because of language, culture or educational levels have been excluded from participation.
Strengthening Nonprofits
When healthy organizations have the support they need, new ideas and imaginative community solutions flourish. The foundation makes selected grants to strengthen nonprofits and promote a vibrant non-profit community. Grants in this area support the mission and infrastructure of the non-profit sector as a whole. We make selected grants to management support organizations that provide services to other nonprofits and build capacity within the field as a whole. Their goal is to help exemplary organizations continue to thrive within a healthy and stimulating non-profit sector.
Supporting Families
Strong families are the cornerstones of a strong community. The foundation is committed to helping families and individuals achieve self-sufficiency and the skills they need to prosper. Their funding is aimed at strengthening the human services safety net for low-income families and helping families of all kinds exercise their rights, fulfil their responsibilities and realize their full economic and social potential. They support non-profit organizations that help low-income and disadvantaged children and adults meet basic needs for food, clothing and emergency and permanent housing. The foundation also targets organizations addressing family violence, promoting expanded opportunities for persons with disabilities, and serving adults seeking to improve their economic prospects through literacy and employment development.
How Much?
The grants range from £500 – £10,000. Extraordinary projects may receive grants up to £50,000.
Grants are awarded twice a year for works that help transform the UK..

Auditing Information Assets Protection – Part II
Retrospectively, information security audits are a routine matter for internal auditors, but sometimes a controversial issue among external auditors. The controversy centers on the extent that IT security controls are accounting controls rather than administrative controls. Though most external auditors accept access controls as accounting controls, there is opinion division when considering other IT security controls. For instance, regarding other IT security controls, off-premise file storage, environmental protection mechanisms, and data processing insurance are treated as administrative controls by the external auditors promoting their position for these auditable units.

Wolves of Heaven Vs Full of Hell
Earlier this year Full of Hell asked me to record guest vocals on a song on their new album (i sing the middle part of the song Ashen Mesh) and to submit a remix of the title track for the Japanese pressing of the album (released by Daymare)
I just put my version of Trumpeting Ecstasy up on SoundCloud, rather than giving them the noise drenched everything in the red mix i suspect they wanted i pulled most of the elements out and gave the song some more space than it originally had.
This track is not a dub track by any stretch of the imagination, but the techniques i used all came from my interest in and reverence for dub music. I've long felt that anyone with an interest in experimental music who does not investigate what was happening in Jamaica in the 70s and 80s or doesn't spend some time really immersing themselves in production techniques of late 80s hip hop - particularly The Bomb Squad's work from roughly 1988-1991, is seriously missing out on some phenomenal music and approaches to composition and recording that were not being done by anyone else at the time.
I love rubbish tape hiss noise and stuffy old academics from Europe as the next guy blogging in a bootleg Throbbing Gristle shirt (as i am right now), but the work of people like King Tubby, Scientist, Adrian Sherwood, Hank Shocklee, Eric Sadler, Keith Shocklee, and Chuck D is as vital to my understanding of sound as anything by Pierre Henri, Pauline Oliveros, Lustmord, Einstürzende Neubauten, Macronympha, Faust, or Delia Derbyshire is.

Inside Out
May 9, 2015
FEATURE ARTICLE | Aesthetics & Style, Markets & Trends

The concept of bringing the outside in is nothing new to the industry. But, the trend hasn't yet permeated all levels of the general public, as traditionally it has only been financially accessible primarily to higher-end homeowners. That fact seems to be changing.
"These systems were traditionally only for the mid- to higher-end homes," says Trisha Egge, vice president of Maui Windows and Doors, which sells Panda Windows & Doors' systems. "But we are seeing sales increase in all demographics."
The indoor/outdoor living trend has reached the point of accessibility for a wider audience, not only in terms of affordability, but also geography. "It's reaching a wider market. Climate doesn't matter so much anymore. People still want to enjoy outside but have the comforts of inside," Damon Gregory, principal of Fenessco Inc. says.
At this point, multi-panel door systems that cater to this trend are no longer relegated to dealers in mild-climate, high-dollar zip codes. The trend has reached the point where all of those in the window and door industry need to be well versed in this growing product line.
The geographic versatility of multi-panel door systems has everything to do with how the systems are engineered. Many, such as this Overture series folding door that incorporates a thermally-broken all vinyl frame, are Energy Star qualified, too. (Image courtesy of Royal Building Products)
Where and why
While certainly there's a natural progression for most trends and technologies to trickle down to the mainstream, there are other forces at play. "The wow factor is a big part of it," says Dan Pompeo, owner of Architectural Glazing Solutions, a manufacturer's rep for Panda Windows & Doors.
Egge adds that it has as much to do with light. "Homeowners want to bring in as much of the natural light as possible," she says. "Studies have shown the numerous health benefits of natural light." She cites an article from Science Daily that found that "There is increasing evidence that exposure to light, during the day, particularly in the morning, is beneficial to your health via its effects on mood, alertness and metabolism."
New Construction Only?
Many look at the market for multi-panel door systems as exclusive to new construction. But, as Egge points out, they are just as suitable for the retrofit market.
"I have many clients who take out two 4-foot by 6-foot windows and put in a 13-foot wide window wall in that space. It changes the look and feel of the entire room," she reports. In one case, Maui Windows and Doors installed a window wall that opened the space of a 1,000-square-foot cottage to give it a luxury feel.
While indoor/outdoor living more naturally makes sense for climates like Hawaii, California, Arizona, Texas, Florida and Nevada, for example, interest is growing elsewhere. Pompeo attributes a lot of the increase in demand to the engineering of the products—the ability to accommodate energy efficiency through dynamic glazing and through thermal breaks in the frame system, for instance.
To this point, Scott Thurber, vice president of Associated Building Supply Inc. (ABSi), which sells products from LaCantina Doors, Western Window Systems and Pacific Architectural Millwork, among others, agrees that the geographic versatility of thei ndoor/outdoor living trend comes down to how the entire multi-panel door system is engineered.
"The design is 100 percent different depending on the location. You can put the cheapest door in the exact same space, and it may look good, but it could leak like a sieve," Thurber says. He stresses the importance of proper installation to this extent, specifically calling out the function of the sill pans and flashing system. Water management is a huge piece of the puzzle. And while it may not be top-of-mind for homeowners, it's the dealer's responsibility to make it so.
Education is key to closing the sale
All our sources concur that the most important aspect in selling multi-panel door systems is education. "These are relatively new in certain areas of construction, so there's going to be a lot of education," Gregory says.
This means education for not just homeowners, but the dealers selling to them. At Fenessco, they make it a point to get to know a few brands very well—Solar Innovations and Panoramic Doors for this category—and to be the most knowledgeable about those products.
Both Gregory and Thurber mainly work with architects on these projects, and say that the education needs to start early, because the systems needs to be engineered in. Says Thurber, "If you look at these big expanses of glass, you have to make sure you have the appropriate header to carry the load. Then, you have to think about the sill condition—how will you keep the water from coming into the home, and so on. So, you're meeting early on with the architect and figuring out what products perform best in the project."
Moreover, presenting yourself as the authority has a direct correlation to sales. "A lot of guys sell on price point. They don't deliver the same package in terms of performance," Thurber asserts. He says that when you have the technical savvy, it increases your credibility and, long-term, you become the primary resource for technical jobs. "There's a lot of time that goes into it, but the reward from a margin and volume standpoint is very handsome," he says.

A wide open market
While giving homeowners what they want certainly helps the bottom line, it's not all about the margin—though all our sources agree that they are quite considerable.
Especially with newer trends that transform a space as multi-panel door systems do, at the end of the day, it's about being satisfied with your contribution to making a happy home. "It's fun to help people enjoy their homes more," Gregory says. "Whatever space they're trying to create, showing them how it can be done, enhancing original designs, and making people happy with it—it's satisfying work. It's a great way to stay involved with architecture and stay a part of people's lives and make them happy."
Dealer Tips
Our sources had some quick tips and insight to share for dealers looking to make multi-panel door systems a part of their business:
- Know your product. Know your options.—Dan Pompeo, Architectural Glazing Systems
- Pay attention. We're a detailed business.—Damon Gregory, Fenessco Inc.
- Go the extra mile in the install. You're putting a very expensive door system in. Why not spend a little money to install the best type of flashing system and sill pan system?—Scott Thurber, ABSi
- More expensive is not always best. To decide on the best brand, owners or contractors should visit a showroom that has full size displays of the products.—Trisha Egge, Maui Windows and Doors
