In this exhibition, I am presenting a new way to depict my signature form, totemic figures, through drawings in charcoal on rice paper and sculptures in clay. Clay and charcoal are natural materials; they combine with the complementary elements of water and fire. And much like the tactile character of clay, charcoal responds to and stimulates my creative impulse on paper. It informs the basic, yet physical and energetic process – give and take - with my finger movements.
Space on paper becomes activated by the interaction of forms, lines and textures within the enveloping positive/negative areas. Various architectural structures and nature patterns influence my own geometric composition. By incorporating lunar effects into my three dimensional expression in white clay, a new series of claywork, titled Illumine, is created.
The indigenous landscape and the traditional and ceremonial practices I have encountered on many continents for two decades have continued to stir my inspiration. When traveling, I learn about and interact with the native people; I hear their stories. I learn from the artists and craftspeople. My practice of observing their skillful hand-power and their soulful connection to nature confirms the expense of spiritual loss in this highly technological era. Their ways of incorporating the signs, symbols and landscape of their cultural experience deeply influence my way of seeing, conceptualizing and art making.

For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. Ephesians 2:14
Pride and religion can be a dangerous mix when confronting the challenging issues the world faces. The greater our passion towards an issue the higher the stakes we feel. When this is our mindset, conversations quickly turn into debates we want to win at all costs. Trying to get God "on our side" often brings out the worst in us. Why? Because pride yields superiority. Rather than looking for commonalities, we cling to our differences. It's us vs. them and right vs. wrong.
If we allow the person on the other side of the issue to get a word in edge wise, we quickly scoff and wonder, "How could they think like that?" But that's as far as we go in searching out answers to that question. When pride dictates our perspective, we see no value in being curious about their story, their side, or their thoughts. It's much easier to craft a story in our mind that fills in the blanks. Crossing the aisle only occurs when we attempt to drag others to our side. In our mind, the only way for this insane world to become sane is for everyone to see things from our perspective. They have to think, act and believe exactly the way we do.
Only when people rally around the issues we are most passionate about will true peace, unity and freedom be felt. Yet, for a moment lets imagine this scenario actually comes true. Everyone sees eye-to-eye on a specific issue – no arguments, only agreement. Instead of getting utopia, we'd be falling for a trap. We'd be settling for second best and living short sighted. If the enemy can't keep us divided, he will settle for us unifying around anything other than Christ, including our issues. Without us even realizing it, unity around the issues becomes idolatry and the thing we truly worship.
I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. John 17:23 When Jesus prays in John 17 that the church would be one He is speaking of a different type of unity. It's a unity centered on the person of Christ, not a robotic agreement of every single issue. As we grow more into the image of Christ individually, we become one collectively. We can all agree the system we're currently using isn't going to solve the issues in our country. A different way of thinking about the world around us and our role within it is required. We need to bring our issues to Christ rather than Christ to our issues.
The more passionate we are about an issue, the more submissive we need to be. We must look within ourselves and be honest about what drives our behavior and our response to others. What fuels our passion? Am I influenced by pride? Have I taken Truth and made it all about myself? Am I twisting Scripture to fit my agenda or to make His name known?
This is my Prayer: Father God, let me lay the issues that stir something within me at Your feet. Lord help me to respond to the needs and issues around me with humility and grace. Jesus let me love others on the other side of the aisle, the way You love them. Lord teach me to let understanding and compassion define my actions. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Since 1996, the leading online PR and marketing firm has been helping companies and individuals present positive messages to a higher page ranking in search results as online reputation management has gained a pivotal role in effective brand management.

Business Analyst Interview Question: how do you conduct a gap analysis?
First, it's important to understand what the "gap" in a gap analysis is. A gap is a deficiency existing between what a business would like to do, and what the business actually does. There is some kind of impediment in the way. Because of this impediment, the business can't do what it wants. It may run less efficiently, may not be able to offer a product or service, or may not compete effectively.
Sometimes a business isn't aware that a gap exists. Or it may know that something isn't working right, but isn't really sure what it is. A gap analysis is the process–which a Business Analyst often leads–to figure out what's wrong and begin coming up with a plan to fix it. The gap analysis can also serve as justification for executing projects and expending resources.
Can you tell me more about possible things that could cause a gap?
One of the most common causes a gap analysis identifies is the improper use of resources. Those resources could be people, processes, or technology. For example, a team might lack the proper tools or knowledge to do what the business wants. Or users of a system may have to create process workarounds that the system can't accommodate. Or maybe the system itself was not built properly to suit the business need.
Another common cause of a gap is lack of investment. Systems and processes may become old and outdated, with no effort to modernize them. Or the business may not spend money on the changes it needs to make for it to truly deploy the capability it's looking for.
There are many other sources of gaps, ranging from lack of strategic planning to sudden shifts in the marketplace. But use of resources and lack of investment are among the most common causes.
Is a gap analysis the same as requirements gathering?
No, it's not. A gap analysis identifies the source of a problem. Requirements are a series of statements that describe a solution to a problem.
Sometimes the business knows exactly what's wrong. In such cases it may proceed directly to requirements gathering. However, often the business doesn't know. Or the problem may have multiple causes, all of which the Business Analyst must identify. In those cases, a gap analysis is necessary to ensure that future requirements truly account for all of the problems. Otherwise, the business will spend money on implementing new requirements without truly solving the problem.
How do you actually conduct the gap analysis?
A good way to start a gap analysis is by conducting a SWOT analysis first. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. The weaknesses and threats you identify should be the result of gaps existing in whatever you're analyzing. However, this is only a high level analysis, good for getting a start but it cannot be the end of the inquiry.
Once you know your weaknesses and threats, you conduct the gap analysis in a very similar fashion to eliciting requirements. You may interview people, review documentation. conduct surveys, and more. When you do, there is one "magic" question to ask that almost guarantees you will identify existing gaps:
"What do you wish you could do with X right now, but can't–and why?"
(X can be a system, user interface, business process, whatever.)
You may need to ask this question of multiple people to get different perspectives. For example, if there is a serious bug deep inside an application, someone familiar with the user interface may answer from the perspective of what she sees on a screen. But someone on the Operations (software maintenance) team may tell you what happens when the user enters certain values and causes the bug to happen, or may identify the software module that's the culprit.
Once you gain all of the necessary perspectives you will be well-equipped to write requirements to resolve the gap.
How do you present the results of a gap analysis?
This depends on your business and your audience. It's a good idea to document the result of your work as something separate from your requirements. That way, you can provide requirements traceability (that is, proof to justify the requirements as you wrote them.)
You can report your results in a written document, but that takes time and may not be as useful for people like executives that quickly want the gist of the matter. Another way to represent gaps in a gap analysis is visually. For example, if a gap exists in a business process, then you might draw a business process model with call out boxes that point to where the gaps and deficiencies arise. Or you may simply provide a list. Check with your stakeholders for the best way to present the information.
How would you answer a Business Analyst interview question about a gap analysis? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Molise: Biferno and Pentro
Our sommelier for Molise is Carlo Barbieri
Carlo is Sommelier A.I.S., he has decided to become Sommelier driven by a passion for wine and the fascinating world that revolves around it. He deals with environmental consulting, he lives and works in Molise.
Do you need more precise info about Molise ?
Questions, doubts, clarifications ?
Write Carlo at email@example.com
Even though Molise is the site of the first evidence of human civilization in Italy, unfortunately the same cannot be said for it's cultivation of wine. The first certain evidence of a stable wine culture in Molise come from the historian Galanti, and reemerged at the end of the 19th Century. Today, of all the regions, Molise is last in line in terms of wine production. It produces two D.O.C. wines: Biferno and Pentro.
Both wines can be white, rosé, or red, and are obtained from Trebbiano or Montepulciano grapes. The difference is in the area of production: the province of Campobasso produces the Biferno and the provincia of Isernia the Pentro.

Photo by Carla Thomas.
Cannabis is now in the town. Like it or not the sale and taxation of pot will be legal in California beginning January 1, 2018.
In preparation for the new industry, Alameda County has been actively involved in helping shape the landscape of cannabis cultivation, retail sale, manufacturing, and distribution in California. By hosting a Winter Cannabis Summit at the Alameda County Board of Supervisors Chambers in downtown Oakland, the County wanted to educate the public on a legal, taxed and tightly-regulated system for medical and adult use cannabis.
About 100 stakeholders attended three forums throughout the day. With Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley serving as moderator, attendees heard from Lori Ajax, Chief Bureau of Cannabis Control, Richard Parrott, Director, CalCannabis Cultivation Safety, California Department of Public Health, and Dr. Asif Mann Chief of Office of Manufactured Cannabis Safety, California Department of Public Health who provided an overview slide presentation.
"The cannabis industry is emerging as a major force," said Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley. "We have a great opportunity for a new source of untapped tax revenue to strengthen our public infrastructure."
"As we move forward issuing the first state licenses for commercial cannabis activity, the state's three licensing authorities are grateful for the opportunity to interact with our key local government partners," said Ajax. "A tremendous amount of work has gone into this process and we wouldn' be in the position we are today without the feedback received at events like this summit."
An afternoon panel discussion featured Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley, prevention specialists, and community partners focused on what legalization brings and cannabis education for youth.
The session also included information about how schools and community groups can prevent access to cannabis.
The changes society can expect from the legalization of marijuana was another panel that featured O'Malley along with Susan Fanelli, Assistant Director, California Department of Public Health and attorneys specializing in Cannabis law, Chris Halor and Robert Reich.
Judy Appel, Drug Policy Alliance, Dr. Dale Gieringer State Coordinator California NORMAL, Ralph Cantore, Educator, Jennifer Ellis, Prevention Specialist served in an afternoon session on (CEYAA), Cannabis Education Youth & Adult Awareness.
Elsa Casanova, a Prevention Specialist and Project Manager for Ashland Cherryland Together said that her organization is working closely with Supervisor Nate Miley to develop a campaign targeting youth.
"We focus on environmental strategies to prevent the use of cannabis by youth," she said.
Casanova also shared that the campaign's development will be patterned similar to the state campaign called "Let's Talk About Cannabis." Youth and educators will also be involved in the process.
Handouts were also provided detailing how to obtain a temporary license application, the breakdown of licensing authorities and frequently asked questions regarding medicinal and adult use cannabis cultivation licensing.
The handouts also explained that the rules and regulations for commercial cannabis activity include the cultivation, possession, manufacture, distribution, processing, storing, laboratory testing, packaging, labeling, transportation delivery, or sale of cannabis and cannabis products.
However, this does not include personal use cultivation that is done at a private residence in accordance with health and safety code sections 1136 2.1 and 1136 2.2, or by a patient or primary caregiver pursuant to health and safety code section 11362.77.

Where is the church on Tuesday? Do our church members view themselves as agents of the kingdom of God where they work? How can a congregation better affirm and mobilize its pewsitters in ministry within their jobs? Here are 10 basic ideas for a church to serve its members:
1) In worship services dedicate or commission the members from various industries on a given Sunday. One option is to design worship on Labor Day around the responsibilities and positions your members have Monday through Friday. Members or selected representatives could either wear their work clothes or bring items from their jobs for a dedication ceremony. Also, a slide show could be presented portraying various members at work.
2) In the public pastoral prayer include intercession and/or thanksgiving for key industries. Pray for particular difficulties such as a downturn in business, a strike, disaster or a major challenge it might be facing. Have members serving within that arena stand during the prayer. The prayers of thanksgiving could rotate through various sets of people and affirm their calling and service to the larger community (teachers, managers, public servants, transportation workers, retailing, social work, finance, food service, etc.).
3) Clergy should have patterns of visitation at work as they do with the sick, bereaved or homebound. Some call this "shadowing." You spend a few hours with a member at their workplace as a silent guest. You would not be introduced as a pastor, but as a friend. Afterward, the two of you could have coffee or a meal and explore what you observed so you can understand. This will enlighten and enrich your work in the Scriptures, counseling and preaching, while affirming your people.
4) Create a pattern in the educational ministries of your church where classes, study groups, seminars or evening institutes are shaped around workplace issues or affinity groups. Some could be formed around specific industry groups (educators, managers, government work, healthcare, law and justice, manufacturing, retailing, etc.) while others could be around workplace responsibilities (supervision, finance, administration, sales, ethics, philanthropy, management, leadership, etc.).
5) Small groups could be developed throughout the congregation around workplace affinities in industries or responsibilities. These could meet for breakfast, happy hour, weekends or even within the Sunday school time for prayer, accountability, encouragement, study, case studies and problem solving. Pastors could attend as advisors and learners.
6) The church could sponsor employment helps such as a career guidance event, a job hunting and availability bulletin board, a care group for the unemployed or transitioning members, or internships for young people at members' places of work.
7) Establish congregational communications that feature news about members in their work. Options include a bulletin board, a column in the church newsletter or bulletin, a prayer chain or hotline, etc. Items can come from the local newspaper, business publications, photos taken by friends, awards received, job promotions and changes or workplace news stories with a note about which members are in that industry. Other items could be occasional profiles of biblical personalities that are in various industries. In the church member listing add the industry (not the organization because these change frequently) of each working person.
8) Sponsor special experiences about the workplace and faith development. These might be a children's day at work with their parents, workplace storytelling, testimonials or panels in children's Sunday school classes, or seminars, mini-retreats or workshops on various themes about work. A "Bring your boss or co-workers to worship" on a special Sunday featuring them or their industry could be sponsored.
9) Equip the church library bookshop or resource center with helps on work and faith connections. There are many good books (over 200 currently), videos, publications and curricula now being published. Do a regular feature or review of these in the church publication to inform folks of topics and availability.
10) Do a sermon series on workplace themes from the Bible. It could feature profiles of various people (Lydia in the clothing trade, Daniel, Deborah or Joseph in government, Nehemiah and Ezra in construction, Priscilla and Aquila in affordable housing, Job and Jacob in agribusiness, Matthew in finance, etc). Another approach could be on various themes and issues such as money, power, ethics, witness, management, service, conflict, etc. You might establish a review group of working laity to work on these sermons with you. You could also build in a brief lay response of application, testimony or critique to your sermon.
We need to help the church function seven days a week. Our members are the delivery system for the kingdom's salt and light. The recognition and support of the workplace ministry of our people is a challenging and rewarding venture that deserves all the affirmation, understanding and guidance we can muster.
Pete Hammond directs the Ministry in Daily Life for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Chili Mac is a hearty one pot pasta meal that cooks completely in the crockpot!
You guys, I think sometimes I underestimate this whole it-being-winter thing.
Can you blame me? Sometimes it feels really strange to make supper at 3:00 just so I can photograph it for the blog. And then there's that awkward "do you try to keep it warm until it's actually supper or do you refrigerate it and reheat it later?" issue.
So I made this and, quite frankly, it was fantastic. So I had to remake it at an unnatural time of day so I could get some decent photos for you, in the hopes that you might be able to see how fantastic it was.
As a food blogger, I love looking to other food bloggers, and recipe sites, and cookbooks for inspiration.
But I am super proud of myself when I actually think of a recipe idea that I've never seen before.
We cooked a chicken on the weekend so that I'd have some extra chicken to use for a quick and easy meal during the week. And slow cooker = quick and easy. And we pink puffy heart quick and easy. And slow cookers.
I tried a chili mac a little while ago, and it went over really well here. Then I thought, "Barbecue chicken. Chili Mac. Barbecue Chicken Chili Mac?!"
Just say yes.
So I went to Pinterest. And I typed in "slow cooker chili mac", and I didn't find much. There were only a few recipes, and most added cooked pasta at the end of the cooking time. I wanted to do this without adding any extra pots. And I wanted that BBQ chicken chili flavour. And that I didn't find anywhere.
Aside from stirring in the dry pasta half an hour before eating time, this is really a dump it and forget it kind of meal. But I'll take that over completely mushy, overcooked pasta in my chili mac any day. And I had cooked chicken, so that's what I used. But I don't think you'd have any problems adding raw, diced chicken to the slow cooker at the beginning of the cooking time. It will probably release more juices into the chili, so you might want to reduce the liquid just a touch or add a touch more pasta.
*I have also made this with chopped turkey, and it's just as fantastic!
{Slow Cooker} BBQ Chicken Chili Mac
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 red pepper diced
- 1/2 onion diced
- 540 ml can black or kidney beans, drained and rinsed 19oz
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 28 oz can diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups dry macaroni about 340g
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Add chicken, pepper, onion, beans, chili, powder, tomatoes, garlic, barbecue sauce, ketchup and chicken broth to slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours (because I used cooked chicken, the cooking time is pretty flexible -- if using raw chicken, you'll want to cook at least 6-8 hours on low). Shred or chop the chicken.
- Half an hour before you wish to serve, set slow cooker to high and stir in salt to taste and dry pasta.
- After 20-25 minutes, check to see that your pasta is cooked (if not, give it a little more time. I found that 25 minutes was perfect). Stir in cheese and serve.

A trio of trolls were rushing through the forest. These creatures were roughly 2 meters tall and somewhat resembled apes due to their thick necks, short legs and powerful arms that were almost as long as they were tall. A troll's skin was a thick, brown hide that looked like it could take quite a lot of punishment, and the numerous scars these three individuals had suggested that they put this to the test on a regular basis. Short, brown fur could be seen covering their backs, shoulders and forearms, giving off a rather pungent smell. Their faces were truly ugly, with massive foreheads, beady pitch-black eyes, large flat noses and massive underbites that made their yellow, sharp teeth visible to all.
These three monsters, however, were not rushing towards some prey they caught a whiff of, but running for their very lives. Swinging from branches, charging through bushes and jumping over rocks, all while practically foaming at the mouth from fear. The agility with which they moved seemed to belie their thick, hulking frames. After all, nothing motivates the body like the imminent threat death. Only it would seem that mere motivation was not enough to escape the reaper.
"Mind Blast ~♪" came an oddly melodic voice from above. A light blue flash enveloped the head of one of the ape-like creatures.
You have been stunned for 7 seconds.
It let out a pathetic yelp and then fell down on the ground as if it had momentarily forgotten how limbs worked. A rectangular shadow then leapt down onto it and stuck two shining daggers into either side of its skull, killing it instantly.
The other two trolls kept running without missing a beat. So what if one of their kin was just killed? Stopping to fight that thing was suicide. They should know, some of the others had already tried and failed horribly. The one to fall just now was the 10th victim and the two running were the last survivors.
A few minutes and a couple of Mind Blasts later, the last of the trolls were wiped out. No matter how much their fear aided in their escape, the smaller, lighter and more versatile Mimic had the clear advantage in this obstacle-ridden terrain. Also, its AGI Attribute was much higher than its quarry, which was a big contributor towards its speed advantage. It chucked the two corpses into its Storage and went back to the shallow cave these monsters had been inhabiting until recently.
Trolls were a species of monster that was extremely common throughout the world. It had many variants that depended on their environment. Subspecies such as Cave Trolls, Forest Trolls, Magma Trolls, Ice Trolls, Zombie Trolls and even Bridge Trolls all had their own unique characteristics and varied wildly in strength. However, three things held true among all trolls.
The first two traits they shared were their tough hides that resisted physical blows and the high-speed regeneration that could heal wounds many times faster than other creatures. Indeed, trading blows with a troll that was of equal or higher Level was tantamount to suicide. The best way to kill one was to exploit their universal weakness - magic. Fire or acid were particularly effective, but taking advantage of this weakness would often leave very little of the creatures behind. That was simply bad business. After all, troll hides could be fashioned into sturdy, albeit heavy, leather armor and their blood was a substance with many arcane and alchemical uses.
In fact, that same blood was the whole reason for this little detour.
Boxxy came across a monster dragging the bloodied carcass of what appeared to be a wild boar while traveling along the road. Xera immediately identified it as a troll, which wasn't particularly impressive considering their appearance was general knowledge to any civilized being above the age of 5. Which was a good thing, too, because that denomination did not include the 3 month old Mimic. The animate chest and its two minions then chased after their target until it led them to its den - a shallow cave it shared with 11 of its kin.
So, all things said and done, Boxxy now had 12 mostly intact troll corpses it could harvest for blood. Since its goal wasn't to just kill and eat them, it had to avoid riddling them with wounds like it usually did to its targets.
Well, statistically speaking, that statement wasn't quite right. The vast majority of this monster's victims were vaporized by a dungeon core going through critical meltdown, but 'riddled with wounds' was definitely second place on that list, followed closely by 'ripped apart' and 'torn asunder.' All of those methods would cause massive blood loss, however, which would be counterproductive considering its goal. In the end it had to settle for disabling them with magic and piercing their skulls, minimizing the holes through which they could bleed out. Surprisingly, it ended up having to use Mind Blast rather than Shadowbind to do so.
|Mind Blast
Requirements: Level 22 Warlock, INT 100, MNT 100
School: Domination
Type: Targeted
Cost: 200 MP
Range: 40 meters
Effects: Assaults the target's consciousness directly, stunning it for 5 seconds.
Has no effect on Undead, Demons and Golems.
Requirements: Level 20 Warlock, INT 120
School: Ruin
Type: Targeted
Cost: 100MP
Range: 25 meters
Effects: Chains of darkness wrap around the target, restricting movement for up to 10 seconds.
Grows in power in dark places or at night, gaining up to 50% additional effectiveness depending on the environment.
The latter seemed to be more powerful at a glance. It had a lower MP cost and a longer effective duration, at least on paper. The problem was that these chains were more fragile than the Mimic thought, seeing as how those Trolls broke free of the physical restraints within a few seconds. Using Power Overwhelming or taking advantage of the darkness would be needed if it planned to restrain such physically strong monsters with this Spell. However, the former would consume too much MP and the latter was out of the question in this daylight. Even then it might not be enough to tie down these trolls. Mental attacks, on the other hand, were incredibly effective. Those monsters may have been powerful in body, but they were pathetic when it came to mental fortitude. Or defending against magic in general.
And thus the Mimic learned an important lesson. Mind Blast was effective against opponents that relied on brawn, and Shadowbind looked to be more useful against Caster-type enemies that typically had weaker bodies. Well, even if someone who was proficient in both might and magic showed up, then they would just have to be sliced up the old fashioned way.
Thankfully, these opponents could be taken down without spilling much of their blood, though it took some time. Kora's blunt force attacks were particularly useful since they didn't cause any external bleeding, but it still took her a lot of effort to overwhelm their defenses. That is, at least until Boxxy started using Dark Infusion on her.
|Dark Infusion
Requirements: Level 17 Warlock, INT 60, MNT 80
School: Domination
Type: Targeted
Cost: 75 MP
Range: 10 Meters
Effect: Increases your target's STR, AGI, DEX and INT Attributes by 20% for 30 seconds.
Your target will be stunned for 5 seconds once the effect expires or is dispelled.
The stun component of this Spell has no effect on Undead, Demons and Golems.
This Spell actually boosted those four Attributes by 28% thanks to the effects of the Domination Mastery Skill, which was currently at Level 4. The duration of the power-up was still 30 seconds, so it would be safe to assume the stun that followed it was equally unaffected by the related Mastery. Well, having it become more powerful rather than lasting longer or being more efficient was in-line with other Warlock Spells and Skills. The upshot in physical ability Kora displayed made Boxxy extremely curious as to just how powerful it would get if it were to use Dark Infusion on itself.
However, that seemed to be impossible. Domination Spells, Dark Infusion included, had no effect on the caster. After all, that entire school of magic is centered around forcing the caster's will onto others, so something like affecting one's own mind was just impossible. Still, even using it on just Kora proved to be more than effective. Especially when one considered her other Skills.
|Idiotic Strength
Description: Fiends are by nature demons with more brawn than brains, but this trait is noticeably more pronounced in Pit Fiends.
Requirements: Be born as a Pit Fiend
Type: Passive
Activation Time: N/A
Cost: N/A
Range: Self
Effect: Increases the effects of the STR Attribute by 3% per Level of this Skill.
Reduces the effects of the INT Attribute by 3% per Level of this Skill.
Although this seemed like an underwhelming Skill, it was well suited to someone like Kora. She was a demon who fought entirely with physical means and didn't really need to spend MP in order to pummel something into dust. Therefore, the already tiny MP pool becoming even tinier was a moot point. Even her active Skills didn't care she had under 150 MP at Level 29.
|Second Wind
Description: Fiends are by nature too stubborn to die.
Requirements: Level 10 Fiend
Type: Active
Activation Time: Instant
Cost: 0 MP
Range: Self
Effects: Instantly recovers 25% of missing HP.
Increases the HP recovered by this Skill by 20% per Level of this Skill.
This Skill may not be activated more than once every 24 hours.
|Demonic Carapace
Description: Fiends are by nature incredibly thick-skinned.
Requirements: Level 15 Fiend
Type: Active
Activation Time: Instant
Cost: 50% of max MP
Range: Self
Effects: Reduces all incoming damage by 30% for 10 seconds.
Increases the duration of this Skill by 10% per Level of this Skill.
Second Wind was an enviable Skill, one the Mimic badly wanted for itself. However, it would seem to be impossible for anyone other than a fiend to use. Curiously enough, it was possible to bypass the 24 hour usage restriction on it if Kora died and was re-summoned. This was most likely because Skills were bound to the body and giving the demoness a new body would also give her a fresh, unused copy of this Skill.
Demonic Carapace on the other hand was a Skill that appeared after the dungeon core meltdown caused the Mimic's Level to skyrocket. Activating this Skill caused Kora's entire body to temporarily become covered in gray metal scales that glistened with an unnatural red sheen. The material appeared to be the same substance used by her Demonic Armaments Skill.
|Demonic Armaments
Description: Fiends are capable of manifesting physical arms and armor during a summoning.
Requirements: Level 5 Fiend
Type: Passive
Activation Time: N/A
Cost: N/A
Range: Self
Effects: Conjures Devil Steel weapons and armor when summoned to the physical realm.
Increases the performance of items created by this Skill with each Level of this Skill.
This was the source of Kora's gauntlets and sabatons. Things like her clothes or Xera's outfit and staff served no practical purpose other than decoration. Indeed, the succubus's 'weapon' was completely unnecessary for her Spell casting and she would be just as deadly without it. The only reason she even bothered with it was simply force of habit. It also served as a fake-out since most people believed her magic would wane if the staff was destroyed and waste time and energy breaking it in half. As expected of a conniving, backstabbing succubus - even her 'weapon' was a lie.
Truthfully, it was entirely possible for familiars to wield equipment made by and for mortals, but very few Warlocks saw the need to do something silly like giving additional gear to their demons. While it would make them more effective, it would also mean that those items would most likely be lost when the demon was slain in combat. Which happened a lot. Especially fiends that excelled at close combat. Correction - they had no other method of attack except close combat. Which is probably why all of them came equipped with their own arms and armor..
Boxxy returned to the former troll den while reviewing what it knew about its minions. Even if it lacked common sense, the Mimic's battle sense was rapidly developing. It had to be well versed in the strengths and weakness of all participants in a fight if it wanted to secure victory, so analyzing its familiars was something it did quite a lot during the downtime when they were traveling. Kora, one of the minions in question, was currently busy handling the 9 troll corpses the Mimic left behind, relieving them of their blood. Well, it's not like those trolls were going to need it anymore.
"Drain these too," it commanded while taking out the 3 troll corpses in its Storage.
"It's fine if a few extra bits get into the stuff, right?" asked Kora while wringing out a troll's arm as if it were a wet cloth. The viscous red blood that poured out of the dismembered appendage seemed to have ripped up tissue, hair and bits of bone in it.
"Are these the last ones, then?"
"Thank fuck! This blood-wrangling thing is really fucking dull! Ah, it would go faster if Master buffed me up again! So… can you do that?" she added with a hint of anticipation in her voice.
Boxxy saw no reason to deny her request since its MP was almost back to full and she would be doing all of the work anyway. The knock-off Xera appeared instantly as if she had been hiding inside the chest the whole time.
"Dark Infusion ~♪!" came the unnaturally cheerful voice.
A black mist enveloped Kora in an instant. It seeped itself into her skin, turning it several shades darker. Her already well-defined muscles bulged out even more as her entire body became one size wider, straining the thin fabric of her white top and hotpants. The already skintight clothing dug into her flesh, conforming perfectly to her form. It was at a stage where the shape of her genitals as well as her rock-hard nipples were clearly visible to anyone who so much as glanced in her direction.
"Ohh yeaaaah!" she said while rubbing her hands all over her body. "This stuff makes me feel amazing! Like I can beat the shit out of a steel golem with three arms tied behind my back!"
She then went back to squeezing the blood out of a dead troll with great gusto. The syrupy red liquid (and other miscellaneous bits) that poured out of it was collected inside a wooden barrel. That barrel was originally filled with strawberry jam, but that particular substance was already devoured. Quite thoroughly at that. Boxxy may have actually developed a liking for the stuff seeing as how it literally licked the barrel clean. As for the liquid that replaced it, it was going to be used for performing demonic rituals in order to increase the proficiency Level of Demonology. Getting it all the way to Level 8 seemed like it would take a long time, but it was well worth the investment. Having an extra familiar was going to be a huge boon considering both of its current minions were quite excellent. Just looking at Kora's Status actually made the Mimic a little bit envious.

Especially that high STR Attribute. That was pretty much double what the Mimic had. Even without Dark Infusion she was just under 200 STR. Looking at the Attributes alone left little doubt that Kora would be able to deal more damage than her master, at least at close range. Well, not unless Assassination or Ruin magic came into play, but even then those would only provide a burst of destructive power while Kora could unleash a nearly endless barrage of fists. Comparing itself with Xera, who was a specialized Caster, would yield a similar result of the familiar being more powerful than the master.
"Ah… Master! It ran out! More please!"
"Dark Infusion~♪!"
Boxxy was steadily starting to feel the downside of splitting its Level and Attributes between martial combat and magic. Using both at the same time was pretty much impossible, after all. Crystallize Magic helped, but that was a temporary solution that lasted only as long as it had Spell Crystals. It was theoretically possible to prepare more of those while in combat, but the Mimic might as well just cast its Spells directly at the enemy to preserve MP. The Assassination Skill was pretty much the opposite - using it continuously in a fight was desirable, but impossible.
In short, Boxxy's combat effectiveness would deteriorate rapidly as a battle went on. A lot of its damage was front-loaded, after all. While it was true such things weren't much of a problem right now, that would change rapidly if it came face-to-face with another worthy opponent like that steel grate or the Fleshmaiden. The Mimic was starting to understand it would need to rely on its familiars a lot more than initially anticipated, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Both of them could keep fighting for a long time and could easily be used as sacrifices to cover its escape should the need arise. Well, they had to do at least this much considering how much work Boxxy put into training the related Skills. Even this little detour was more or less for the sake of strengthening them anyway.
"Huuu… Master? More?"
"Dark Infusion~♪!"
"Master, I found some more trolls," reported Xera through the thought-link. "There's roughly 6 of them, about 2 kilometers south of where you are."
The succubus was currently under orders to seek out other potential prey from the sky, although that was mostly an excuse to get her away from the troll den. If she were to use her fire magic, then the only thing left of those trolls would be ash and cinders. Even a 3 month old box knew you couldn't get blood from those. The question was, did it really need to go all that way?
"Arms, are you done yet?"
"Pretty much, this is the last one," answered Kora.
Her titular arms were currently twisting and squeezing a troll as if it were a ripe orange. Only with blood and guts rather than juice and pulp. It wasn't the ideal way to drain a creature of its blood, but it definitely seemed to be effective.
"How much blood?" asked Boxxy.
"Barrel's almost full."
That would be nearly 60 liters of troll blood. Admittedly there were a few bones and other miscellaneous bits floating inside, but it was good enough.
"Snack, leave them and come back. I need you for the first ritual."
"Yes, Master."
The first ritual on the list was a ceremony called 'An Offering to Nagnamor.' It was actually pretty straightforward, requiring only some troll blood, a sharp knife and a pure maiden. Boxxy wasn't quite clear on what a 'pure' maiden was supposed to be, but Xera was a woman who wasn't currently poisoned or diseased, so she should do.
Probably. Possibly. It'll likely be close enough. Yeah.

Prepare yourself, this might be the most honest post you've ever read about blogging.
Does the name "Blogspot" ring a bell?
Back in 2007, after getting married, quitting my job and moving to Paris, I found myself alone. That year I would see my husband 5 months out of 12 (that's how often he was traveling), and even if I had plenty of time to wander around the city, it's just different when you're not there as a tourist. I was 22 and, funny enough, apparently overqualified to get an entry level job in France. I then went back to school to learn what would be my 5th language – because you are far better off speaking French in France, trust me!!
I decided to create my "personal online magazine", and dedicate some of my time to a hobby: writing about beauty, fashion and celebrity gossip. It's when I discovered I could create a "blog" in a platform called Blogspot, which was far more popular than WordPress back then. So innocent I was, I had no idea other people would also have blogs with the same subjects, and discovered people sharing my passions, following me, and I was following others. Through my blog, I made my first friend in France and, who knew, she was a Brazilian married to a French. I had 50 (f-i-f-t-y) followers on my blog (Instagram would only come 3 years later) and I thought I was super popular. "WOW! 50 people follow my blog!!" But my friend had 1,000 and, to me, she was the queen of the world (still is, her online store is just amazing).
I moved to the USA and fell pregnant with my first born, and unfortunately, at that time, I simply stopped writing. My priorities shifted, I went back to Brazil, had my two babies, and three years later found myself back to where? Paris. September of 2014 was when I decided to start blogging again, I needed to take my mind off babies even if just for an hour a day, and created my second blog. It was in Portuguese, I wasn't really sure what I was blogging about, and around the same time in 2015 I rebranded it and "My Boring Wardrobe" was born. I knew what I wanted, how I wanted, and put my effort into it. 6 months later I was moving to London (January 2016) and I felt I was almost back to mark zero. Did not know a single English blogger, let alone brand, let alone could write in British English! My English as a whole was (is) not as before.
Maybe it motivated me to do better, and soon enough I had a few brands reaching out to me, wanting to send me free gifts and inviting me to events. WOW! Free gifts!! Another high point in my blogging adventure! So many things happened in 2016 (highlight me modeling for a clothing campaign), so much I learned, I was decided to make blogging my career. If I was spending all that time, effort and money – and talk about investing! – and people were interested in me & my content, why not give value to that? I was watching through the years fellow bloggers that started around when I first had a blog, became top influencers, have brilliant careers as bloggers and inspire others. Camila Coelho, the biggest blogger in Brazil, has 6.7+ Million followers on Instagram only. Her 2 youtube channels (Portuguese & English) have over 4 Milion subscribers together.
In two years I took all possible online blogging courses out there (paid and unpaid) and also participated in workshops (one in Brazil from Alessandra Garatonni – the original founder of It Girls blog renamed and owner of a Brading Business). I thought I had in my hands all the tools to take my blog to the next level until I faced a variable that was out of my control: The Blogging Industry.
The power of influencers
Bloggers, content creators, digital influencers, you name it. It's the new job that some don't consider a job because it "breaks many of the rules". "You have to be a journalist to be a blogger", "You have to be a model to star in a campaign", "You have to be a celebrity/movie star to be in the front row of a fashion show." Well, you don't. You don't even need a higher education to be a blogger or succeed, though in Brazil you can now enroll to the pioneer "Digital Social Medias" graduation idealized by the industry mogul Alice Ferraz, who also created the first digital influencers platform of the world (F*Hits), and is considered by BoF as one of the 500 personalities shaping the global fashion industry. In fact, the rules are being created as we speak.
Influencers are the golden children of (digital) marketing strategies now, simply because they are trusted, drive attention, traffic, sales. Millenials in fashion shows, for example, can be responsible for driving 40% of the digital traffic to that show. And then Rebecca Minkoff took a step forward and brought 3 digital influencers to walk the runway along with the models. Dolce & Gabanna followed, with the catwalk dominated by celebrities and influencers at the Fall 2017 Men's Show (including Brazilians Lee Oliveira & Lala Rudge). Soon it would be Negin Mirsaheli, Aimee Song, Kristine Bazan.
My latest surprise on how digital influencers are really everywhere was when I saw Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte (who sang in the 2014 World Cup opening alongside with Jennifer Lopez and Pit Bull) release a video clip with the participation of a very popular brazilian YouTuber – Mariana Saad.
How big is big
The thing is, the vast majority of bloggers aren't huge global influencers or subject to a Harvard case study. They won't be and they don't have to be. But then there's always that question of how big is big, when can I work with brands, when can I consider blogging a career, and how can I land that dreamy campaign with L'Oreal Paris.
Seems like even the internet can't decide if micro-influencers have from 1,000 to 10,000 followers or up to 100,000. But 100,000 appears to be the aimed number by both brands and influencers. I knew in Brazil big brands (and self-proclaimed big) wouldn't even consider working with a following smaller than that, but I learned by observation that it's almost a rule in other countries as well. And brands are as obsessed by numbers as bloggers because mainly bigger audiences mean bigger reputation.
When to work with Brands
Big numbers aren't prerequisite for influence. If your opinion is decisive to someone else make a purchase, for example, you are already influencing. Some might have a 3,000 following with highly engaged audience of a niche, which can be of extreme value to a brand focusing on that niche. 3,000 people interested in knitting are far more valuable to a yarn brand than if it reached to a lifestyle blogger with 50,000 followers that don't necessarily knit at all.
Can I make money blogging?
It's when brands start reaching to you, or the other way around. A brand that does its homework will contact bloggers that fit their profile in terms of reach, visuals, engagement, or simply because they like them and want to raise brand awareness. You as a blogger can and also should get in touch with brands, even if that's a tabu between the influencers. "I never contact anybody, they all come to me!" – can be true, but again, it's not the rule. If I know or discover a brand that I love the products and would be delighted to work with, and, of course, that I know is within my power of influence ( you can aim big, but try to keep your feet on the ground) I'll reach to them. I may dream of one day working with Lancôme, who has celebrity artist Lisa Eldridge as its creative director for makeup, but I know I have work to do.
Many brands like to work on a gifting basis because that is obviously less costly to them. That is also interesting for bloggers, who are normally starting and trying to build a profile. As I shared before, being gifted by brands was a high point for me. It definitely has its value. But for how long?
How much are you worth?
I have some interesting stories to share on this subject. Money is that thing everyone wants to know about but no one wants to share about. That includes both bloggers and brands. There are many charts on the web indicating how much one should charge depending on a few factors, but when it comes to putting it in action, the reality is a bit different.
Creating a blog, growing your influence and engaging an audience is work. You put your time, effort, creativity and money to build it and keep it running. Some start it as a hobby and end up making money (or not), some start it to make money and invest heavily in marketing companies, people who will decide what you'll post, how you'll post, how you will act, way before you appear online. In any situation, if you're succeeding, it means people like you and your work. And as in any other "job", you should be entitled to earn for it.
After a good while blogging "by myself" (no brands in the picture) and after a good while being also gifted by brands, I realized it was time to put a number to my worth. I was creating content for brands for free when people were being hired and paid to do so. Please keep in mind that whatever your number is, should be according to your size of influence, and comparing to the market, what you find to be reasonable. I won't ask a brand to pay me £1000.00 for a post today because I don't think that's the right price now. But I am creating a content, taking pictures, arranging the layout, the styling, the quality of it, and that's worthy of payment. Should I justify?
The other day I was contacted by a platform to do a collaboration and I asked what their budget was. They replied saying that none of the brands they worked with pay because they think that way the collaboration is more genuine. WHAT?? Let me tell you what a genuine collaboration is: is when you work with a brand that you like, that you know or test the products and that you think will bring value to your readers. No matter if money is involved. The payment has nothing to do with genuine collaborations unless you only collaborate with brands for the money. The payment is what you get for creating the content (and influencing purchases/ generating brand awareness, etc). I replied to her in a very polite way, but what I really wanted to say was: would you exchange your salary for gifts? Would you do that to show a more "genuine" relationship to your employer?
When I chose to put a price to my work, it was when things got a bit odd. When being contacted by a brand that was interesting for my blog, I would ask if they had a budget for it. A lot of them would say no, and sometimes wouldn't even ask how much I charge. Oh well, how to handle this?
Ethics in the blogsphere
Truth to be told, my content is not defined by others. I started a blog to share what I like, and all the content I create is based on my own research, taste, creativity. I can blog about everything I personally own and always find more content to it. When you work with brands, you are growing, you can have more and different things to showcase that you don't have to buy yourself, you are evolving and helping them evolve with you. Is mutually beneficial and I highly value that. But working with brands is not mandatory/imperative to blog or influence. I was stunned the other day when I saw a brand saying they wanted posts in such and such platforms, they required professional photos and they would gift you their product in exchange. Meaning you would even have to pay for photography yourself to receive their product worth less than the photography price (and hope the photographer would maybe accept the product in exchange for his work? Because he would certainly charge his price). So If they want to partner with me (meaning they have specific demands) in a unfair manner, I do not need their products to produce my content and engage with my audience. And this year I turned down many offers because I don't want to bring labels just for the sake of bringing labels, I will not be "forced" to review a product just because it was sent to me for free, unless, as I said, I genuinely like it, and think will bring value to my readers. I receive gifts that are featured more than once on my social media because that is genuine. I'm also exploring other media platforms like Youtube and creating a dedicated media to my Brazilian followers.
When you partner with a brand and you want to keep true to yourself, they should not define exactly what you write and how you write it (and please, work with brands that you like and make sense to your public/niche). Of course, they can give you a direction but the creative director is ultimately you. And that's what brands love and the public love, that's why people trust over 90% of an influencer's opinion over a traditional advertisement or celebrity endorsement.
When it comes to disclosure, it's an issue that has been there for a long, long time. Last year I joined Collective Edge at the Bristol Social Media Week in a panel on the topic of sponsored content, alongside the Internet Advertising Bureau's Christie Dennehy-Neil and Future Publishing's Director of Content Marketing, Clare Jonik. We had brands and influencers in the audience, and it surprised me how little brands were aware of regulations.
It's no secret that even big and respected labels approach influencers asking for nondisclosure of sponsored content. They want it to appear "as natural as possible" to the readers and think that saying they "collaborated with" is a deal breaker. They also want follow links, to have traffic driven from influencer to their website, which is prohibited and penalized by Google according to their guidelines. The problem is that a lot of influencers consent to that. I am glad that we are having more clear and effective digital regulations on that matter as well as brand and influencer awareness. Even if someone works with a brand they love, I still have the right to know if they are being sponsored to show that product or not. Ultimately, it's my decision to be influenced by them.
Valuable lessons I learned through blogging:
You can buy your way into the industry. Shocker? It's way more common than you think. These days you can buy followers, likes, comments, even YouTube views! If you can keep up with the payments, you can grow fast and even have an "engaged audience". And you can easily reach those precious numbers that "make you big". Do brands care? Some do. A lot don't. Bloggers aren't the only ones buying followers (hello Obama's and Beyonce's twitter) , brands do it as well. Some people even buy followers while promoting a giveaway, so you cant' really tell. But you can always tell when they go to sleep with 65k, wake up to 72K, and the next day they have 69K. Is that thing a lot of people do but never talk about. If you want to do it, you do it, it's really a personal decision. The path you choose tells a lot about your ethics, but remember that buying numbers isn't a guarantee of anything.
Educate yourself. Go and learn. There are so many things the web can offer, it's incredible. If you want to be good at what you do, you need to consume knowledge. One course that I highly recommend is from Secret Blogger Business by the Aussie Kate McKibbin. And there are so many others! Starting a blog involves a lot more than just writing and taking good pictures, there's all this tech behind it. Once you go past figuring out host, domain, templates and how to install everything, you find yourself trying to fix the issues of Google not crawling your website, not indexing your pages, not ranking you well. SEO becomes your best friend, and for each and every post you write, you go through a checklist of SEO friendly steps. I once spent an entire week trying to figure out how to make my website have a better score for speed. Downloaded apps, compressed photos, etc etc. If you have the time and patience (for endless articles and YouTube tutorials), go for it, otherwise, I suggest you hire someone for those parts.
Don't compare yourself to others in a negative way. You should be inspired by others but not focused on their numbers, collaborations, etc. See what they do best and learn the trick, but don't be a copy cat. It's naive to say everyone invents new things/subjects/methods every day, people do what everyone else is already doing, just maybe in a different way. Be genuine and true to yourself, there's always a public for you.
Brands will take advantage of you – if you let them. Know your worth, value your work, but don't think that just by opening a blog, start writing and posting pictures you are entitled to everything. And once you work with a brand, built a strong relationship with it. You can also work with agencies that can help you mediate that.
Growth doesn't happen overnight. Again, it might happen a lot faster to ones than to others, but sometimes it takes years. There are many factors that can influence your growth but don't expect to have 4M followers from one day to the other like a Kardashian (unless obviously, you are one of them).
Not every blogger will be your friend. There's a battle of egos in every type of industry, but I see it really prominent in the fashion one. Some will give you vague advices, but will chase you when they need something. So the answer to that is to support others. Blogger is only a community once there's mutual support. It's ok to share good advice, cheer for each others success, and not be afraid they will grow bigger and faster than us if they know what we do and how we do it.
Never give up. I learned this the hard way. I always wonder if some things would be different today had I never closed my first blog from 2007. Now I don't care if I have enough time or not, all I know is I do it because I like it and don't want to stop, even if I have to slow down the pace for whatever (personal) reason. I understand the pressure is different if you quit your 9-5 to dedicate to blogging, but that's an extra reason to make it work. Consistency is also important. There are so many things we know we should be doing and frequently struggle with! But our biggest enemy is our own self.
The blogging industry can be overwhelming sometimes. Wether you treat it like a hobby or a business, remember why you started in the first place. Stay true to yourself, be yourself and show that to the others. We like to relate to people, and that's what brings us close to them and makes us stick around. Do your best, be genuine, be kind. Keeping your uniqueness is the boldest statement you can make.

The L Word Book by Jennifer Beals
The L Word Book, a photographic journal by Jennifer Beals that takes you behind the scenes of the Showtime series The L Word, was published in 2010 but the publisher stopped printing it in early 2012.
The book was only available online through the lwordbook.com along with a selection of prints from the book http://www.lwordbook.com/order-prints/. The prints are still available to order.
We heard of many fans unsuccessfully trying to find a copy of the book, many asked Jennifer on twitter and yesterday Jennifer tweeted that if there's enough interest she'll speak to the publisher and the more people that are interested, the easier will be for the publisher.
Many fans have already showed interest on twitter and to make the count easier, we have created this poll to see how many of you would be really interested.
Vote if you would like to bring back The L Word Book and would order a copy if it was available again. Previously the price was about $50 and the book was available worldwide shipping from the US.

Species EcologyLeave a comment
Ecology is the science of mathematically quantifying the distribution and abundance of species in any given ecological unit. It is although classed as the branch of biology, ecology as a science is largely based on statistical science-commonly known as data science. In this regard, species ecology is primarily devoted to scientifically understanding the population parameters of species that are mostly facing global extinction and ecological crisis. These crises often stem from anthropogenic forces that are linked in human development- a misconception that attributed to free-market capitalism. Here at 'Species Ecology' the primary objective is the disentangle misconceptions with regards to the economic and or human development in the expense of species and ecological degradation which remain one of the most fundamental global crises linked with greenhouse gas emissions to habitat fragmentation, human poverty to global war to fight disease, malnutrition, natural disasters and many more. Species Ecology is mainly based on sound science of population ecology focused on understanding the distribution and population parameters of keystone mega vertebrates across neotropical and tropical ecoregions.
