"The majority of essays deserve being highly praised as many authors provide well-written analyses and insights that are full of detail and highly original…The quality of the volume…ensures scholars working on specific aspects of migration in German territory will find valuable information in it." • German History
"…important for the potential reader, the [diversity of the chapters} make the book a valuable contribution to any academic library, not just for their research but for their potential use in teaching graduate students and undergraduates alike. For graduate students in any historical field, the chapters serve as a kind of field guide to the potential benefits of archival research. For the teacher of undergraduates, these chapters illuminate the work of the historian as well as providing concrete examples of research scattered across the globe and historical epochs." • English Historical Review
"The essays in this volume are thoroughly researched and address important aspects of central European migration, especially on three topical areas: religion and exile; flux and the politics of immigration; and cultures of exile and the formation of exile identities." • European History Quarterly
"…a well-curated volume that seeks to both elaborate on known historical themes and to provide a critical counterpoint to the discussion of immigration and migration today… [This] book is topical and indispensable, providing a wide-ranging and critical discussion. This text stretches across disciplines and is a crossroads for multiple scholars within migration studies. Migrations in the German Lands, 1500-2000 is a significant work for scholars, both now and in the future." • International Social Science Review
"This well-edited, well-written volume represents an important contribution to migration history. Its distinctiveness lies both in its focus on immigration to and within Germany—as opposed to German emigration to other lands—and its unusually broad chronological range, including a welcome emphasis on the early modern period." • James Melton, Emory University
Migration to, from, and within German-speaking lands has been a dynamic force in Central European history for centuries. Exemplifying some of the most exciting recent research on historical mobility, the essays collected here reconstruct the experiences of vagrants, laborers, religious exiles, refugees, and other migrants during the last five hundred years of German history. With diverse contributions ranging from early modern martyrdom to post–Cold War commemoration efforts, this volume identifies revealing commonalities shared by different eras while also placing the German case within the broader contexts of European and global migration.

I'm so glad i paid way under full price The jacket feels cheap The graphics that are printed on scratch very easily The forearms on the jacket are very tight and very restrictive
KadriyeG982749016 - 11 Jun 2020
Amazing jacket , im 1.90 92 kg Judo Player and this jacket fits amazing, only on my forearm is snug slim maby very slim fit but over all size L is perfekt , i dont like loose fit. Highly recommend.
Constrictive forearm seam
RUN206 - 28 Jan 2020
No reviews on this jacket, so thought it would be useful to warn anyone thinking about this jacket, that there is a very constrictive seam on the forearm. It is a stiched seam that has absolutely no give and unless you have very slim forearms prepare for it to act like a torniquete. I had to return mine because of this puzzling design.

Winter blues?
It seems like it's been raining non-stop for months now. We get up in the dark, come home in the dark, and wade through mud and flood in between! Christmas has left us feeling bloated and lethargic, and that thud on the doormat is the sound of those credit card bills arriving! Is it any wonder that so many of us are suffering from the winter blues?
For most, the winter blues are nothing more than temporary clouds that pass over our usual, sunnier disposition. Short days and inclement weather encourage us to hibernate at home with a diet of stodgy comfort food and reality TV. This can result in us feeling tired, sluggish and generally fed up. Those who can motivate themselves to get up off the sofa, and get a little exercise or mental stimulation will chase the blues away. Even if that doesn't describe you, chances are the arrival of spring will wake you up, physically and mentally, and you will find yourself feeling much brighter.
But what if the sadness you are feeling is more than just 'the blues'? Nearly a fifth of adults in the UK experience anxiety or depression, and in my work as a hypnotherapist I have found a seasonal surge in people seeking help in the winter months.
Depression can be described as "feelings of intense sadness, including feeling helpless, hopeless, and worthless". When these feelings last for more than a couple of weeks and keep you from functioning normally, your 'winter blues' may very well be clinical depression.
Symptoms of depression may include the following:
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions.
- Fatigue and decreased energy.
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and / or helplessness.
- Feelings of hopelessness and / or pessimism.
- Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping.
- Irritability, restlessness.
- Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex.
- Overeating or appetite loss.
- Persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not get better even with treatment.
- Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings.
- Thoughts of suicide or suicide attempts.
Depression is a serious problem, and if you or somebody you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or thoughts about self harming, then medical advice should be sought immediately.
Depression is often a symptom of unhelpful thinking habits that lead to excessive worrying and rumination. This constant worrying leads to high levels of anxiety, causing mental and physical exhaustion.
Hypnotherapy can be a great aid in reducing stress and anxiety, thus allowing the solution focused brain to function more efficiently and find ways of dealing with problems more effectively. During hypnosis the subconscious part of the brain can also be engaged in learning new and more helpful ways of thinking, so that depression is less likely to occur again in the future.
If you think you may be suffering from depression, please seek professional help. It may not seem like it now, but the days are getting longer; winter is retreating. There is light at the end of even the darkest tunnel, sometimes we just need a little help to find it.

La La Land is joyous, Lion will move you, and Fences gives chatty high drama
This next week is usually the busiest of the year for movie going. That's why there are so many new films to consider today, nine in all, two not opening until Christmas Day.
Here's the list …
La La Land: 4 stars
Lion: 4
Fences: 3 ½
Sing: 3
Passengers: 2 ½
Assassin's Creed: 2
Why Him? 1 ½
Being 17: 4
Peter and the Farm: 3 ½
LA LA LAND: No it's not as good as the best of the Hollywood musicals, like Singing in the Rain, The Band Wagon and others. The songs aren't memorable and Damien Chazelle, who wrote and directed it, is new to the form. But he comes pretty close to the classics by revisiting their mood and the film zings as an enjoyable entertainment. It was the most popular film at Toronto's festival and is the nominations leader for the Golden Globes.
It's a valentine to tinseltown and the people who collect there trying to follow their dream. Ryan Gosling is a jazz pianist in a pop-music world; Emma Stone, an actor who's so tired of auditioning that she writes a show of her own. They meet in a traffic jam, don't like each other but meet again and again until they do. The plot doesn't follow that well-trod arc exactly; there are twists and modern touches but the basics are there. The songs speak. Going to a party: "We're on a mission". Left alone: "Waiting to be found". Dancing on cars: "Reaching for the heights." Stone and Gosling sing well-enough and dance beautifully. They seem to be channeling Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly and that's a good thing. (Park, Scotiabank and suburban theatres, starting Sunday) 4 out of 5
LION: This is a perfect film for the holidays. It talks about family, about the draw of your heritage, about mothers and sons and even at one point gets Dickensian as a young boy is lost in a big city. And it has perhaps the best emotional payoff of any of the movies out there right now. There were even reports out of the Toronto film festival that some of the critics at a press screening got teary-eyed. That wouldn't be out of sadness, but out of joy.
The story is in two time periods and that makes this a two-part movie. In part one, a young boy in rural India manages to get separated from his brother, onto a train and almost 1,700 kilometers away to Calcutta unable to speak the language there and say where he came from. Sunny Pawar gives an endearing performance as Saroo as he evades the dangers and the street people and lands in an orphanage. He's adopted and taken to Australia where 25 years later he's played by Dev Patel with Nicole Kidman as his "mother". Can he find his way back home? Well there is Google Earth, there's a poignant climax and Saroo did write a book about it. It's become a very good movie. (5th Ave and International Village) 4 out of 5
FENCES: You're going to encounter some griping that this adaptation of a celebrated stage play is too talky. Even if the talk is in the backyard, in a hallway or on the job picking up garbage, it feels like it's on stage. True, but that didn't bother me because the language is so rich and the actors deliver it so beautifully. Also it delineates a character in full and then delivers a shock that calls for a difficult response. Give it a chance; you'll be absorbed by this drama.

Bao Phi, the author of Song I Sing: Poems (Coffee House Press, 170 pp., $16, paper) was born in Saigon in 1975. He was raised in the Minneapolis suburbs and today Minnesota is his home base. Bao Phi's poetry kicks ass; I have not read a more powerful book about the individual Vietnamese-American experience.
This is the guy I'd like to sic on the authors of Vietnam War books filled with name-calling of Vietnamese and Asians. I'd like him to shout his great poem "Vu Nguyen's Revenge—Nguyen, Vu-Sacramento" at them. It begins: "Fuck you, Chavis Johnson, for pushing me down in ninth grade and calling me gook."
The book is filled with references to Agent Orange, Oliver Stone, and other Vietnam War icons such as Senator John McCain. Bao Phi's three-page poem, "Dear Senator McCain, " is a classic. It starts off with two quotes from McCain: "I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live."
The poems do not pull punches— in fact, they are punches, right in the face to those who have scorned and vilified Asians of all stripes and types. Bao Phi bravely calls out those who have sinned with their mouths and acts, and holds them accountable.
Some lines—among many—that stood out: "I write this letter on jungle leaves/and the skin of a white man" and "I am gook, /I ate your motherfuckin cat."
Bao Phi's CD's are Refugiography and The Nguyens EP . They show off his abilities as a performance artist of what is called slam poetry. He is a two-time Minnesota Grand Slam champion and a National Poetry Slam finalist, and he appeared in the HBO series Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry .
The blurb on the back of the book tells us that the poet performs across the country and works as an Asian American community organizer. That job is a known springboard to the presidency, so I have hopes Bao Phi will be our first Asian president.
Anyone curious about how Vietnamese Americans are getting along in America should buy this book. The answer is here.

Essays are one of the most popular types of papers. This paper is free because it is imbued with the freedom to express opinions or ideas from the author. Not only freedom to express opinions and ideas, essays are also used to influence even if possible, provoke!
As one of compulsory writing, essays are often used to measure students' understanding of the subject matter already given. Essays are also often used to measure students' intelligence because by writing an essay, a student is required to bring out his creativity. However important the role of the essay in academic activities, many students considers this a "plague" to be avoided.
Unfortunately, they will not be able to avoid the essay as long as they are still studying formally.
To be able to write essays well, every student needs to know in advance about the systematic of writing. They can not necessarily write without knowing the theoretical basis behind it. They must also understand the structure of a good language, which is officially recognized by the academic community.
- How to Beat Exam Stress in 4 Easy Ways
- 5 Tips for Choosing a College
- Test of English as a Foreign Language
- Industries and Situations Where Software User Interface Is Important
- Educational Problem Solving
As one of the requirements the essay graduation really has become a business commodity that benefits both parties; students and third parties as providers of essay writing services. Now is the Internet era where everyone can search for anything they want in a virtual world. In relation to essay writing, each student can save time by ordering an essay online. They can type in some keywords and get what they need in just seconds. Students do not need to waste their precious time just to fight to string words while they do not know what to do.
The answer to them is essay writing service as this type of service ensures that each client gets an essay as desired. Be aware that writing is not only about education but also talent. Writing covers a variety of aspects, one of which is how to flow ideas in the form of words. A qualified essay writing service usually employs several authors who are each specified on a single theme of writing. It's very important to make sure every essay produced is not "general."
In choosing quality services every student needs to search for as much information as possible. They need to make sure that their choices are exactly what they need and that are important, according to their budget. Cheaper services do not always produce poor quality essays and vice versa.
Forums that discuss education are the best place to find information. These places are places where students gathered for academic help, including essays.

There you can exchange ideas with other members and receive advice from them. What is best is that most of them will actually help you in an objective perspective.

The 37th session of the UN Human Rights Council, from 26 February to 23 March 2018, will consider issues including the protection of human rights of migrants, torture and human rights defenders. It will also present an opportunity to address grave human rights situations in States including Burundi, Syria, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Eritrea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Honduras, and Guatemala among many others. Here's an overview of some of the key issues on the agenda.
The UN Human Rights Council (the Council) will hold its 37th regular session at Palais des Nations in Geneva from 26 February to 23 March 2018.
Stay up-to-date: Follow @ISHRglobal and #HRC37 on Twitter, and look out for our Human Rights Council Monitor.
Don't miss this side event organised by ISHR:
Implementing the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders on Tuesday 20 March 2018 at 16:00 at Palais des Nations, Room XXII.
Here are some highlights of the session's thematic discussions.
Migration-related issues will be prevalent in the first part of the Council session. This focus on the theme of migration is timely, as States are currently negotiating the Global Compact for Migration. In an open letter sent on 21 February, High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid urged States to develop a compact that 'explicitly recognizes and fully conforms to the existing international human rights framework as the authoritative protection agenda for all migrants'. In this regard, the attention of the Council and its Special Procedures is critical.
The Special Rapporteur on human rights defenders will present a thematic report on the situation of defenders of the rights of people on the move. The report by the Special Rapporteur Michel Forst highlights the challenges facing human rights defenders globally, which can often be exacerbated when those individuals and organisations seek to protect and promote rights of migrants and refugees and others 'on the move'. Read here ISHR's detailed analysis of these documents.
The report aligns well with the OHCHR Principles and Practical Guidance for the protection of the Human Rights of Migrants in Vulnerable Situations, namely Principle 18 which states that States should 'respect and support the activities of human rights defenders who promote and protect the human rights of migrants'.
Finally, the Council will consider the report of the Special Rapporteur on Torture, whose report is expected to focus on torture and other forms of ill-treatment in the context of migration. This document will also be considered at the upcoming session of the Council.
ISHR is also cosponsoring a side event which examines how to, in the context of an increasingly restrictive environment which tends to consider migration as a security issue, stakeholders can collaborate to advance the recommendations of UN human rights experts. The event is organised by the Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT), in cooperation with International Detention Coalition and with the support of the Swiss Permanent Mission, will hold a side event on 2 March 2018 at noon till 13:30 at Room XXIII, Palais des Nations.
During its last session, the Council adopted a resolution on reprisals. The resolution established a dedicated dialogue to address acts of intimidation and reprisals at each September Council session. Through the resolution, the Council also affirmed the particular responsibilities of its Members, President and Vice-Presidents to investigate and promote accountability for reprisals and intimidation.
Reports of cases of reprisals not only continue, but grow. While the passage of this resolution, as well as the appointment of the UN Assistant Secretary General as the Senior Official on addressing Reprisals are indications of action taken by the UN on this issue; ISHR remains deeply concerned over reprisals against human rights defenders and other civil society actors who try to engage with UN mechanisms.
As requested by Council Resolution 12/2, the General Debate under Item 5 of the Council is a key moment for States and civil society to raise and follow up cases of reprisals, and to push for accountability for such acts.
During the organisational meeting held on 12 Feburary, the President of the Council again stressed the importance of ensuring the safety of those participating in the Council's work, and the obligation of States to prevent intimidation or reprisals. It is important that the international community acts and works collectively to this end. He did not elaborate on how he intends to handle allegations of reprisals, given his immediate predecessor's reluctance to vigorously denounce and seek accountability for such calls. In line with previous calls, ISHR expects the President to publicly identify and denounce specific instances of reprisals by issuing formal statements, conducting press-briefings, corresponding directly with the State concerned, publicly releasing such correspondence with and from States, and insist on undertakings from the State concerned to investigate, hold the perpetrators accountable and report back to the Council concerning measures taken.
At a time where human rights violations continue at an alarming rate, it is of utmost concern that the key UN human rights organ is facing budgetary cuts and is forced to reduce the time allocated to discuss human rights situations across the globe. It is of further concern that these measures are being developed without adequate consultation with civil society organisations, particularly those working at the national and regional levels, and may ultimately limit civil society space and participation in the Council.
The Council President had initiated a restructuring of the programme of work of the Council in order to decrease the meeting times due to budgetary restrictions for 2018. ISHR participated in the informal consultations held on 12 February and 19 February 2018 and raised a number of concerns including the lack of consultation with non-Geneva based organisations and the potential limiting of space for civil society participation.
ISHR considers that any efforts to strengthen the Council should focus on its accessibility for rights holders and impact on the ground, rather than mere efficiency.
Norway announced during the organisational meeting held on 12 February 2018 that it plans to present a another joint statement (co-sponsored by Switzerland, Sri Lanka and Colombia), as a follow up to the joint statement delivered on behalf of 69 States on 12 September 2017 at the Council.
The States had called for operationalising the Council's prevention mandate under paragraph 5f of General Assembly Resolution 60/251 on two levels.
First, they identified the prevention of violations at the 'root-cause' level. In this regard, they called on States to commit to engage in preventing human rights violations from happening by implementing their obligations and building domestic human rights resilience including through international dialogue and technical cooperation.
Second, they highlighted the Council's mandate to respond promptly to human rights emergencies, by translating early warning into early action. They called for the examination of information provided by the High Commissioner and civil society in an objective and non-selective manner in order to decide whether the situation merits and/or may benefit from early preventive action.
ISHR urges States to join this commitment and to take into consideration relevant and objective criteria for initiating Council action. ISHR also reiterates the call made in a joint civil society paper published on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Council that sets out steps towards a more accessible, effective and protective Human Rights Council.
The body working on developing a treaty on bussiness and human rights, the open-ended inter-governmental working group on transnational corporations and other business enterprises (known as IGWG), will also present its third report to the Council. ISHR is concerned about the limited protection for human rights defenders in the current elements discussed at the last session. Any process towards drafting a business and human rights treaty should effectively prevent and respond to cases of reprisals.
The Council will consider the annual report of the Secretary-General on the realisation of economic, social and cultural rights in all countries. The Special Rapporteur on the right to food, the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing and the Special Rapporteur on cultural rights will present their reports to the Council.
The High Commissioner will also present his report on the relationship between the realisation of the right to work and the implementation of the sustainable developments goals in accordance with States' obligations under international human rights law.
The Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights while countering terrorism, the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion and belief, the Special Rapporteur on the right to privacy, and the Special Rapporteur on minority issues will all submit their annual reports to the Council.
During the 36th session, the Council passed two resolutions on Burundi; one led by the European Union extending the mandate of the Commission of Inquiry and a second resolution by the African Group that requested OHCHR to urgently dispatch a team of three experts to engage with the Burundian authorities and all other stakeholders to collect and preserve information, to determine the facts and circumstances in accordance with international standards and to forward to the judicial authorities of Burundi such information in order to establish the truth and ensure that the perpetrators are held accountable. Read here ISHR's analysis of the two resolutions.
At the 37th session, the Commission of Inquiry on Burundi will present an oral briefing to the Council. ISHR recalls that the President of the Commission of Inquiry on Burundi highlighted the lack of will of the Burundian authorities to fight against impunity in his report to the Council 36th session. In addition, the High Commissioner will give an oral briefing of the Council on the mission of the OHCHR.
Furthermore, the Secretary-General's report on Burundi noted that OHCHR continued to receive allegations of serious human rights violations and abuses, primarily by the State and affiliated actors, including killings, enforced disappearances, torture and ill-treatment, more than 1,000 arbitrary arrests and detentions and restrictions on the freedoms of association, expression and movement. Burundi's vice president criticised the report, suggesting that the Secretary-General has been transformed into an opposition member.
ISHR continues to remain highly concerned about the human rights situation in Burundi and its refusal to cooperate with the Council's mechanisms, which both clearly warrant an invitation to the General Assembly to consider the suspension of Burundi as a member of the Council.
For more information on the situation of human rights defenders in Burundi, check ISHR Briefing Paper for the UPR here.
The High Commissioner will present to the Council his report on producing a database of all business enterprises engaged in certain specified activities related to the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The report shows progress made towards the consolidation of the database, including the methodology adopted by OHCHR, recalls the normative framework used, and makes a preliminary analysis of the most common explanations given by companies for their involvement in the listed activities and makes recommendations.
Since Xi Jinping's assumption of power in 2013, the situation for human rights defenders in China has gone from bad to worse. Where there once was a little room to manoeuvre, activists are nearly completely blocked. Where once China violated its own laws, it now manipulates its laws and regulations so as to silence dissent legally. And where violations were once exclusively domestic, as well as in Xinjiang and Tibet, China is increasingly brazen in extraterritorial measures and attacks on non-citizens.
Five current cases illustrate the sense of impunity with which Chinese authorities trample on the rights of civil society actors. ISHR has discussed many of them in detail, but in short they include:
ISHR has organised a letter with nearly twenty other human rights organisations to call on the Council and its Member and Observer States to take clear and concrete actions to press China to fulfil its international human rights obligations by redressing the serious deterioration of human rights in the country.
The High Commissioner will present his annual report in the last interactive dialogue of his term. Read here ISHR and other regional and international human rights organisations' open letter to the Secretary General on the selection process of the next High Commissioner.
The Council will hear reports on and is expected to consider resolutions addressing a range of country situations, in many instances involving the renewal of the relevant expert mandates. They include:
During this session the Council will adopt the UPR reports which list the recommendations the State under review is expected to implement of the following 14 countries: Czechia, Argentina, Gabon, Ghana, Peru, Guatemala, Benin, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland, Pakistan, Zambia, Japan, Ukraine and Sri Lanka.
ISHR supports human rights defenders in their interaction with the UPR. We publish and submit briefing papers regarding the situation facing human rights defenders in some States under review and advocate for the UPR to be used as mechanism to support and protect human rights defenders on the ground. This session of the Council will provide an opportunity for Peru to accept recommendations made in relation to human rights defenders, as proposed by ISHR's briefing paper.
During the organisational meeting for the 37th session, the President of the Human Rights Council presented the programme of work. It includes seven panels of discussion and 81 reports. States also announced 27 resolutions.
The President of the Human Rights Council has proposed candidates for the following nine vacancies of mandate holders to be filled at this session:
In view of the pending appointments, it is relevant to recall that in appointing mandate holders, the President of the Council is required to give particular attention to the need to avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Mandate holders should also be genuinely committed to the independence and effectiveness of the special procedures system, and have a demonstrated commitment to civil society engagement and participation.
Newly appointed members of the Bureau for the 12th cycle comprises of the following Ambassadors:
ISHR organised the annual reception for civil society to welcome the new Council President. You can read Mr Šuc's opening speech to the participants here.
During each Council session, panel discussions are held to provide member States and NGOs with opportunities to hear from subject-matter experts and raise questions. All panel discussions will be broadcast live and archived on http://webtv.un.org. Seven panel discussions are scheduled for this upcoming session:
At the organisational meeting the following resolutions were announced (States sponsoring the resolution in brackets):
Implementing the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders is an event organised by ISHR that will take place on 20 March 2018 at 16:00 in Room XXII. In the month of International Women's Day and the 20th anniversary of the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, the event will highlight the experience of women human rights defenders and the implementation of the Declaration as well as share findings and recommendations related to a recent joint research on implementation carried out by the Colombian Commission of Jurists, the Tunisian League for Human Rights and ISHR.
Furthermore, ISHR will co-sponsor the following events:
States and NGOs are holding a series of events. You can download the list of State events here and NGO events here.
On the occasion of the Geneva human rights film festival, ISHR will support an event called Defending the Defenders which will take place on 10 March 2018 at 20:30 at the Espace Pitoëff as part of the International film festival and forum on human rights. The event is co-presented with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAE), the European Union's mission to the United Nations and other international organisations in Geneva, ISHR, the World Organization Against Torture (OMCT) and Lawyers Without Borders Switzerland. It marks the 20th anniversary of the Declaration on human rights defenders and will bring together defenders from Guatemala and Bahrain as well as international human rights experts.

Fitness is achieved by having overall health and physical strength. When someone reaches proper fitness, then they will have an easier time physically and mentally. If you have difficulty getting into shape, go through this article for advice that can help you reach the fitness level that you desire.
When working with weight machines, go in order from smallest to largest. Small muscles fatigue more quickly than large muscles, so using barbells before larger machines makes sense. By the time you are ready to exercise large muscle groups, the smaller muscles can rest.
Strength Training
The frequency of your strength training regimen depends solely on your goals. If you are looking to build large, strong muscles you will want to workout every other day. If you prefer more leaner muscles, do more strength training.
You will want to protect your knees, and to do this, you will want to strengthen your thighs. Exercising your quadriceps and hamstrings will help prevent injuries to the ligaments in your knees. Be sure to stretch these muscles and work them out regularly. You can accomplish doing this by doing leg curls and also leg extensions.
Proper walking form is vital when working out to reduce injury. Try walking upright and make sure that you draw back your shoulders. Your elbows should be at your side, making a 90 degree angle. Your forward foot should be opposite your forward arm. Roll from your heel to the ball of your foot with each step.
When riding a bike, focus on keeping your pace around 80 to 110 RPM. Keeping this persistent pace will help you to go further and enjoy bicycling more. To ascertain what your pace currently is, count how often you right leg raises in a 10 second period, and then multiply this by 6. You should try to keep this rpm.
A good workout is kickboxing. Everyone who tries kickboxing sweats. Kickboxing burns a ton of calories and can improve your strength tenfold.
You will find that fitness includes extra things in addition to physical benefits. Regular exercise can also bring emotional benefits. You will get a 'workout high' from endorphins! Also, by working out you improve your self image and consequently become more confident. You can become happier by just working out a couple times.
Be careful with running as it can cause premature wear on all parts of your body. In order to minimize the harm, consider reducing your mileage by half for a full seven days, once per six week stretch. Reducing the distance to only half of what you are used to gives your body the opportunity to recover and helps you avoid any permanent damage that could occur.
Dips are great for your body. Dips are a wonder exercise that focuses on your upper body, including your shoulders, chest and triceps. You can complete these in a variety of ways. It is possible to maneuver two benches closer together and use them to finish your dips. You could even add a bit of weight to make it tougher.
Pay Attention
Pay attention to your body when it demands a rest break. It's common to be told you aren't allowed to rest until a certain point in the workout. In reality, listening to your body should take priority over listening to your trainer. When your body tells you it's time to rest, pay attention. Preventing damage to your body starts with being in tune with how you feel.
When cycling, stay at a steady pace. If you pedal to fast you will exhaust yourself very quickly. Keep a simple and steady pace in order to build endurance. You will keep yourself from getting tired faster if you do this. When your cycling pace is steady but brisk you will be able to gauge whether you may injure yourself as you will feel it when you start to tense up.
As stated in this article, anyone can reach a level of fitness that will instill self-pride. You no longer have to be embarrassed of your out of shape body. If you follow the advice given, you will be well-equipped to help achieve your fitness goals.

The top U.S. commander in Iraq says anyone who uses violence, including Shi'ite militiamen, will have to be dealt with. But he also urged the Iraqi government to be "sensitive" in the way it handles the problem. VOA's Al Pessin reports on a news conference in Washington Thursday by General David Petraeus.
It was violence by Shiite militiamen in the southern Iraqi city of Basra that led to the government's assault on the city last week, which in turn sparked attacks on Iraqi government and U.S. targets by militia sympathizers in Baghdad. General Petraeus has said the Basra operation was not very well planned or executed, but on Thursday he also endorsed the idea of taking action against violent groups.
"Certainly, anybody who shoots at our forces or Iraqi forces or innocent civilians has to be dealt with," General Petraeus said.
Still, General Petraeus urged the Iraqi government to be careful how it deals with the militant Shiites, in order not to make the problem worse.
"I think there has to be a very, very sensitive approach, if you will, as this goes forward, to make that sure folks don't feel like they're backed into a corner from which there's no alternative," he said.
At the news conference, the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, said the Iraqi government is doing that by providing development funds for Shiite areas, at the same time it fights the Shiite militants in Basra.
General Petraeus said the Iraqi government must ensure that its military operation in Basra does not bring an end to the ceasefire declared by the leader of Iraq's largest Shiite militia, Moqtada al-Sadr.
"Clearly, we are concerned that the ceasefire could fray," he said. "That's in no one's interest."
General Petraeus said the ceasefire has been one of the three key elements of the security improvements in Iraq during the past year, along with the U.S. and Iraqi troop increases and the shift of allegiance by Sunni tribes in western Iraq. The general said it is important to differentiate between Sadr, his political party and his militia, on the one hand; and other groups, including some former militia members, who use his name to try to legitimize continuing their attacks.
"I think the way, the best way to characterize Moqtada al-Sadr is that he is the face and the leadership of a very important and legitimate political movement in Iraq," he said. "People cannot cloak their actions in that name."
General Petraeus also said the breakaway Shiite militants are being funded, trained and supported by Iran.
"What the episodes of [the] recent week have done is to bring into greater relief, I guess it is, the level of Iranian activity, and to show the hand much more visibly than has been the case before," he said.
The general says that contradicts a declaration by Iraq's leading Shiite cleric, the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, who says the only legitimate armed forces in the country work for the government. The general said there are intensive discussions going on designed to spread that message.
General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker also criticized Syria for not doing enough to end the flow of militant Sunni fighters from other countries through Syria and into Iraq. They said the Syrian government has taken some steps, but should do more, if only, in their view, because the Sunni militants oppose secular Arab regimes like the one in Damascus.

Social media:
Social media has become a regular part of all of our lives. Whether you're connecting with your family on the other side of the world on Facebook or reading news on Twitter, it plays a role in everyone's day. We've already told you why social networking is important for fundraising, but how do you make sure you're doing it properly? We put together some of our favourite tips for fundraising on social media to help you get as many people as possible involved in doing good.
A Little More Conversation
If you follow different brand pages on Facebook or Twitter, you probably notice that they respond to questions, complaints and comments. Follow their lead and make sure you're engaging with any updates you post on social media. If your friend asks about the cause or why you're getting involved, answer them! Sharing your passion with your friends will help them understand why you're fundraising—and you may just get them to join in.
Practice What You Preach
If you're filling your friends' Facebook feeds with the latest news about your cause, make sure you're telling them what you are doing, too. Leading by example helps increase donations. On everydayhero, you can easily share your MapMyFitness workouts and profile updates to your social media profiles to show all of the work you're doing to help out a cause.
Prime Time
It's great that you're posting regularly for your friends to see, but are you posting at the right times? If no one is online to see your post, it won't do any good! Experts suggest posting on Facebook between 1 and 4 p.m. or on Twitter between 1 and 3 p.m. You should avoid posting on either network after 8 p.m.—most people are busy with family, friends or other plans in the evening. If you want to see the best times to post – and how far you can reach on your social media networks – try using Klout.
Short and Tweet
When you're passionate about something, it can be very easy to talk at length about it. However, since there are many different things competing for your attention online, short posts are actually the most successful. If you're on Twitter, keep your posts around 100 characters; on Facebook, stick with 40 characters. The prospect of keeping your story short may sound daunting, but remember that you can always link off to your everydayhero page so that those who want more information can easily find it!
Signed, sealed, delivered.
Update your email signature to include your supporter page link, and ask your friends to do the same. It's a simple, and free! way to reach more people (a.k.a., potential supporters) with every email you send.
You've got a friend.
Reach out to your email address book. This is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with your friends and family, particularly if it's been a while. Write your story, include your supporter link, and give everyone an update on what you're up to. It's a great opportunity for your connections to share in your passion and help you raise money.
It's all about the follow up.
Don't be afraid to send more than one email. Of course, you don't want to bombard your email contacts, but don't give up after the first attempt. Often, people just need a reminder! Continue to express your enthusiasm about your amazing cause, and the things you are doing to raise money. Our advice? Try two to three emails before a big event, and one to two after. You definitely want to let your supporters how your event went, too — include some photos, or even a video. Make them feel proud for being a part of it!
Straight to the source.
Be sure to reach out to the charity you're supporting! While some charities' websites are better than others, you should be able to find a contact form or email address with a little digging. Tell them what you are doing, include some pictures and your supporter page link — if they're on social media, they may be able to help spread the word. Regardless, they'll definitely want to know about the great work you're doing!

Ancient Chinese wisdom shows that the words "opportunity" and "crisis" are complementary concepts, or two sides of the same coin. In the brand scenario, where major changes take place, this duality represents a critical moment that requires short-term, effective action without losing its focus on relationship-building strategy and the brand background.
After two decades of economic stability, the 2015 financial crisis, combined with the disruptive scenario of the local political environment, puts brands at a crossroads never before experienced. More than ever, flexibility, creativity, optimism, resilience and many other adjectives attributed to Brazilians are the tools that brands will need too.
Facing new levels of unemployment and debt, the key words have become 'conscious consumption' i.e. buying what one can currently afford and meeting the basic needs. This is a significant change in Brazilians' buying patterns. A plentiful table has always meant wealth, power and happiness.
The most important thing is to understand consumer needs in this situation and offer alternatives that can maintain the loyalty ties that brands have been building over time. In the categories without actual differentiation between brands, it becomes an interesting trade-off for cheaper brands and a choice of promotions and sale.
It's worth nothing that learnings and historical monitoring of brand performance by BrandZTM show that promotional and pricing strategies can undermine brand value, despite being effective at returning a more immediate result. And it shows that strong brands, after a critical situation, more quickly bounce back to previous levels as consumers return to their earlier patterns of consumption and purchase.
Another seismic shift is being created by the sharing economy, which emerges as a great opportunity. "Sharing" is the new trend that requires a breaking away from the traditional business models.
In the sharing economy there is no capital ownership nor is it subject to government regulation. Examples of shared businesses that have challenged the status quo are AIRBNB and UBER, in the accommodation and urban transportation (taxis) businesses respectively.
In these two examples, despite movements against them, the trend appears to be permanent. AIRBNB has even been nominated as a recognized accommodation source and recommended for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Shared home offices emerge; food items and cleaning products are collectively purchased by condominiums, buildings, family and friends. Sharing is the new buzzword: share talents in cooking, arts, crafts and also in professional projects. Changing the mindset has created new businesses opportunities.
Will the brands that participate in the sharing economy be the strongest brands in the future, following in Google's and Facebook's footsteps? How about conscious consumption? How can brands include in their scope and in their offering something that plays to this perspective?
The 2015 economic and political situation bring innovation opportunities for brands. The key is to find a way to both be part of the sharing economy and meet the need for conscious consumption without losing sight of what the brand stands for.

FishPoolDC: Our Insider's Notes from Today's Press Briefing
Notes from a briefing room press insider…
Yep. What She Said: In an abbreviated briefing today (running against the seventh of the big Sit Room Af-Pak strategy meetings), Press Secretary Robert Gibbs backed Secy Hillary Clinton's sharp comments yesterday that she finds it "hard to believe" that Pakistan couldn't find al Qaeda if they really wanted to, calling Clinton's remarks "completely appropriate." Of today's strategy meeting, RG said he certainly has not been told it's the last; it is indicative the assessment is "nearing its conclusion"; there is no next meeting scheduled (but there could be one next week); and the decision "certainly could come earlier" than the Nov. 7 runoff, "but I don't anticipate that it would."
Econ with Prof. Gibbs: The WH's rollout of Recovery Act recipient reports showing 640,329 saved/created jobs had several reporters embarking on math lessons. "Can we get a blackboard in here?" CBS Radio's Mark Knoller asked while Fox's Major Garrett tried to square numbers on WH reports of Cash for Clunkers and Recovery Act contributions to the GDP–to which RG said he'd have to check but called a truce by having Major agree that the economy was growing. "And some coffee?" NYT's Jeff Zeleny pleaded. (No coffee cart, but the class did get to pick from a bowl of Halloween candy served by the press office before RG's briefing.)
Pretty Sure That's a Made-Up Phrase: Less helpful was RG's remark that the WH hasn't determined "broad specifics" of what form POTUS's Af-Pak announcement would take.
On Side Notes…: Responding to reports that Iran has knocked down a proposed deal on its nuclear program, RG said the WH still awaited details of the Iranian response to the IAEA. "The president's time is not unlimited," he added. And on Abu Ghraib, ABC's Jake Tapper pushed on whether POTUS truly believed the Defense Secy's concern for safety of troops was always justified in preventing release of detainee abuse photos. RG countered that such justification is "not something you would trigger lightly." Tapper asked specifically about whether POTUS felt the Abu Ghraib photos put lives at risk; RG declined to answer directly. He scolded Tapper and Major in turn for "a deep hypothetical" and "using the word 'could' so many times.'"

While we were enjoying the sunshine between venues at Live At Leeds the other weekend, we bumped into Ronan Peaker, he of fine dungarees and LELO fame and he told us about his new single I Looked At The Sun.
The weather that day, you may remember, was AMAZING – and as the summery weather continues, we're basking in the audible glow of Lelo's latest single. Dreamy indie-pop, all twinkly guitars and lazy vocals drift along like wayward dandelion seeds.
Not content with the levels of musical serotonin he'd already produced with I Looked At The Sun, he drafted in the sun-kissed vibes of pals Marsicans to help out with a spot of backing vocals.
The result is a pretty perfect three-minutes of ethereal indie-pop, floating through a narrative of youthful hopes and dreams, of hazy summer days and lost love.
Check out the video below:
LELO is playing at Sixteen Records launch party at Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds on May 23, which showcases a handful of acts featured on their new compilation Volume One. Get more details here.

Expungement Lawyer Los Angeles
When an individual that has ended up with a criminal conviction finishes out their probation, there is a sense of freedom that validates that they are on the right path. What is unfortunate, however, is the fact that a felony conviction carries many long-term consequences, even after probation and parole have been successfully completed.
Expungement A Lawyer
It is possible for felony convictions to be expunged from a person's criminal record. Having your record expunged is a responsible course of action and may be easier than you think, especially with an LA expungement attorney on your side. Let's take a close look at what you need to know about expungement in California.
What does it mean to have your records expunged in California?
The courts refer to it as expungement, but in all actuality, it is more like a dismissal. When you are granted an expungement under Penal Code 1203.4, the following will take place:
- The conviction record will be updated
- Your "guilty" plea will be withdrawn
- A "not guilty" plea will be entered
- Probation records will reflect that the charge has been terminated
- Case records will reflect the dismissal.
Following an expungement in California – is the conviction really gone?
Yes and no. Depending on the methods used to investigate whether a person has a criminal record, such as different softwares used by potential employers, the conviction may or may not be viewable. If it is viewable, though, the person conducting the research will show that the conviction was dismissed and is no longer being held against you by the court.
What are the benefits of getting a California criminal record expunged?
Having your records expunged will make it easier for you to move forward with your life without unwanted attention drawn to events that you have moved past. You won't have to worry about indicating these details on employment applications, which in itself is already a tedious process. Also, a benefit of having your record expunged is that it may restore some of your civil rights, such as the right to bear arms and the right to vote.
What convictions are not eligible for expungement under California Law?
- If you were convicted of certain Vehicle Code violations.
- If you were convicted of certain sex crimes.
- If you were sentenced to a state prison term, even if that sentence was suspended (former state prisoners should instead seek to vacate their conviction or seek a certificate of rehabilitation or pardon).
Getting Records Expunged in Los Angeles
When you decide that you would like to go through with having your record expunged, you first need to make sure that you satisfy the terms of your probation or parole. If you don't provide the court with proof that you have successfully completed all the terms of your probation or parole, your expungement will not be granted.
In the event that you have acquired an early termination of your probation, you will need to provide the court with documentation of your early termination. Also, you must not have any pending criminal charges against you, nor can you be on probation for any other convictions or charges.

TIRANA - "The international community cannot miss any occasions to save Libya" is what Tarek Mitri said. He has been, before Costantino Leon, the special representative and head of the UN mission in Libya.
"Libya" he continued "is a country of the missed chances and the responsibility is also of the international community. We could have spared a whole year of bloodshed".
Regarding the current treaties in Geneva he said "Libyan democracy must be inclusive. In the past there have been people who have wanted to politically and militarily gain power, but this cannot be the way. We have already tried this out. There will not be a rapid solution for Libya unless all parts accept the fact that none of them must prevail".
Mitri has also said that "the dialogue is a precious instrument not only to solve but also to prevent conflicts. It is not a medicine but a vaccine" and he stigmatised the attitude of whom waits for the conflicts to start to intervene.
"The international community" - according to the Libyan politician - "has an enormous responsibility and an inevitable role in developing because it stopped Gheddafi, it has destroyed his army but afterwards it abandoned Libya".
"Libyans" concluded Mitri "need something else. They have not received any support: only if everyone will pay attention to Libya there will be a positive result".

Making Bits & Bites is a Christmas tradition for us (although I could happily eat them all year long!). Our recipe has been tailored to our tastes, and feel free to adapt it to your liking! Other family members use different seasoning salt, and substitute peanuts, cheese sticks and Cheerios, but this is the version we like best. Enjoy!
Measurements for the munchies are up to you - feel free to add what you like, in the proportions you like! The seasoning for this recipe will cover enough dry ingredients to fill a turkey roaster.
Unsalted cashews
Stick pretzels
Oatmeal Squares (regular flavour)
1 cup canola oil
2 tbsp Worchester sauce
1 tbsp Garlic salt
1 tbsp Seasoning salt (we use Hy's seasoning, regular flavour)
Combine munchies in a roasting pan.
Mix the seasoning, and pour slowly over the dry ingredients, stirring often so that it is distributed evenly.
Bake at 250F for 2 hours stirring every 15 minutes.
Let cool, and store in airtight containers or bags.

Past Parties
About Us
Get In Touch
n. A state of action, loud, exciting, trouble & often chaotic
We set up Hullabaloo so we could throw the parties that we wanted to go to. Fun, varied, classy affairs with no judgement and no rules (well, a few. But not many!)
Live Music, Great Djs, Fabulous Costumes, Roaming Entertainment, Stalls, Delicious drinks, Activities, Clowns (not the scary kind), Robot Monkeys.. all in one night.
Why should you have to chose between hearing great tunes and wearing your best shoes?
Why shouldn't you sip a manhattan in one hand and build your own Voodoo doll with the other? (although the googly eyes are fiddly so it's probably a good idea to put the drink down.)
Between us we've performed in a multitude grubby clubs, danced on a million sticky floors and know what we like. And hopefully what you like too.
Indulgent and decadent, yet filled with mania and madness. - Bit like our lives really!
We look forward to welcoming you at next Hullabaloo party.
Kat & Meg

My last post was on October 21. It's been a long three weeks, most of it having to do with gardening.
The big event was October 27-29. I was getting ready for the Fall Show & Sale for the Palomar Cactus & Succulent Society.
These shows are heavy on succulents and short on cacti. The main reason for that is because cacti are difficult to move with all their spines & thorns pointing every which way. Not paying attention, not being careful, can result in some serious and painful skin punctures.
My intent was to exhibit a lot of cacti to make sure that the cactus side of the show room was full. I spent the month leading up to the event cleaning and repotting show-worthy cacti.
I was hoping to enter 50 cactus specimens. Ultimately, I only entered 44 exhibits – 31 were in the Cactus category, twelve in the Succulent category, and one in the Dish Garden category. My Dish Garden, though, had five thorny cacti in it; of the twelve in the Succulent category, six had spines; and of the 31 in the Cactus category, one did not have spines. So it's not always about those pokey pokey things. My intent, though, was to fill up the Cactus category, and I definitely helped do that.
I exhibit in the Advanced class now, and won….
12 first places,
9 second places, and
13 thirds.
Ten of my plants weren't appreciated by the judges. Sad and depressed those plants are.
My Mammillaria parkinsonii, below, received one of the two Judge's Choice awards, and tied for second for the People's Choice award.
…..was awarded the Granddaddy of them all, BEST IN SHOW, my Crassula ovata 'Gollum'.
I created a video of all the plants I exhibited in the show, although I didn't find out about the second place People's Choice until recently, so although it's in the video with its Judge's Choice award, it's not in the video with its People's Choice second place.
Here's the video:

At the end of each game you receive a score on the Results page. You are ranked against your opponents based on your score.
As well as your own and your opponents' scores for that individual game, you can view the monthly high-scores for the game by selecting the Friends' best, School best and World's best tabs. You can see these when you finish a game - the tabs are at the top of the results.
For some games, such as Talent Show, the score is how many questions you correctly answered.
You want this to be as high as possible!
For other games, such as Cycle Race, the score is how long you took to finish the game.
You want this to be as low as possible!

This is the second in the DC Gary Goodhew series, and I'm not inclined to pick up the first unless I get desperate for reading material. The story begins with the discovery of a car in the Mediterranean sea, containing the body of Nick. Kimberly and Rachel are shocked by the news, and it's pretty obvious one of them is involved somehow. Goodhew gets involved when a house fire kills Rachel and Kimberly's son disappears. Kimberly is desperate yet uncooperative. Goodhew and his partner, Kincaide, whom he dislikes, try to crack the mystery behind the fire and find Kimberly's son. Meanwhile, there's some drama with a female in the department who rather likes Goodhew but had a fling with Kincaide.
I've read better police procedurals. I just couldn't bring myself to care about Kimberly or the department intrigue. Goodhew was fine, but didn't stand out among British detectives. The personal drama was annoyingly intrusive. The mother of a missing child should be at least a bit sympathetic, but Kimberly got on my nerves.

Before I get on to my spoilery fangirl gushing, quick update on Dreamland - Part Two status. Things are moving along pretty well. My goal is to finish all my rewrites and beta edits next month, and send the manuscript off to my copy editor. As I said, this summer has been busy, so my editing time has gotten squished down a bit, BUT the time I do have left to dedicate to the rewrites is actually going smoother than anticipated. So, yay!... I think?
Here is a quick rewind of what I've been up to since the last post. Game of Thrones. Oh. My. God. I know the hype has died down since the season finale aired, but man... It was epic. I loved loved loved this last season. It was practically flawless (if we ignore No One) and soooo satisfying. That shot of Young Ned holding his nephew and then the switch to Jon... Not gonna lie, but I dropped my head and just cried for a moment. I was so overwhelmed. I had no idea how invested I've been in these books and theories until it was all finally served to me from the TV screen. It was a wonderful moment. Also, my money is on Lyanna naming him Jaehaerys, btw! (I'm probably wrong.)
And Cersei... Oh, you go girl! I have never watched someone go so completely batshit crazy in such a fabulous fashion. I am so excited to see how her story line plays out next season. I am really going to miss Margery, though. Her death was very quick and unexpected. I think I'll miss her the most, even though Hodor hit me the hardest.
Man... That night was brutal.
After my crazed experience of dealing with the GOT void last year when season 5 ended, I was prepared to distract myself this year. I picked a show to binge watch and dove in, fully committed... and watched all five seasons of Fringe in two weeks. Somehow, I knew I would be watching it someday and managed to make it through all this time without any spoilers. I thoroughly enjoyed the watch and got a new shirt to add to my ever growing collection of fan t-shirts!
It's my favorite thing. My very favorite thing.
And now... I don't know what the hell to do with my life. Le' sigh...
Guess I'll have to keep occupying myself with Overwatch until I find a new passion, -- Junkrat of course, because I've never been able to aim to save my life -- and I have found myself spending an exorbitant amount of time in local graveyards lately thanks to Pokemon Go. Still haven't found a damn Pikachu yet.
The search continues... as does the editing! Happy reading, everyone! Will try not to be too long before another update rolls around. Until then... Cheers, love!

Revelations at The Jim Thompson House
For as long as I remember, my birthday has caused me severe anxiety. At the core of this anxiety is a disdain for sudden attention from several people who I barely know (or who barely know me) and the lack of attention from people I've loved and lost with whom I treasured spending my birthday. With this in mind, I was stoked to be in a new country (Thailand) all by myself and although during the initial two days I had made several new friends at my hostel and spent a lot of time exploring the city with them, I had decided that on my last day (which happened to be my 29th birthday) I was going to explore what was left on my list on my own.
After visiting the Wat Pho temple and the Grand Palace on the morning of my birthday, I was left with just enough time to visit one more place before I left for the airport and it obviously had to be The Jim Thompson House. I say obviously, because back home, well before I arrived in Thailand, while reading about things to do in Bangkok, I was most intrigued by The Jim Thompson House. Luckily, I made it there by 1pm and was assigned a spot in the 1:10pm guided tour (I've read of others having to wait longer.) While I waited for the guided tour to begin, I was strolling around the property and had already started feeling a wave of emotion stirring up inside me caused by the beauty of this place and an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Moments into the guided tour, the sense of familiarity started to get overwhelming and I was almost drowning in it. As our guide began to narrate his story, it felt like I knew it already (although it was the first time I was hearing it.) I felt this strong sense of having been in this property before. All of this only intensified as we left the courtyard of the house and entered the actual property (where photography is prohibited.) As our guide showed the first of many artifacts collected by Jim Thompson, my sense of familiarity crossed its tipping point. I noticed a palpable sign of this – tears running silently across my face. In that moment, I didn't try and stop it, I didn't think about or analyze it. I didn't worry about what the guide or the other members of the tour might be thinking. I simply accepted it. I accepted it so seamlessly, because in that moment, I felt an absolute sense of harmony with myself and everything around me. I felt no need to try and understand what I was feeling but an urgent sense of wanting to completely immerse myself into it. To embrace it, to let it take over me, and that is exactly what happened.
After I returned home, I've had time to reflect on what happened and look at it from a cognitive perspective. This has led to clarity that what I experienced was no coincidence and had been a long time in the making. You see, like most people in their late 20s, the past few months (or years) of my life have been about self-discovery and growth. I have made tremendous progress when it comes to uncovering the sort of life I want to live. Progress toward knowing what makes me happy and what gives me a sense of purpose. I can only describe this phase as peeling away layers and layers of false identity so as to eventually reach my most authentic self. Each time I peeled a layer, I discovered something new about myself. Whether it was the fact that I want to spend my life in deep communion with nature. Or that I want to live it slowly – so as to notice the beauty in every tiny moment. A life that isn't spent chasing an infinite list of things but collecting and nurturing only what I truly need, value, and love.
In retrospect, I know that all that peeling away was leading to a specific moment. Years of peeling away seamlessly coincided with me visiting The Jim Thompson House in a cosmically special way. Had I visited a year ago, I wouldn't have felt what I did. Heck, had I visited a couple of months ago, I wouldn't have felt it. It necessitated every last layer to have been peeled. Such that, the house and his story would serve as nothing but a mirror. A visual manifestation of the life I knew I had been peeling away at but one I hadn't ever seen put together so vividly. I couldn't (and wisely chose not to) understand what I was feeling then. But now, it is clear as day. As I stood there, peeled away to my core, I was ready. Ready to receive revelations of the life I had been dreaming of – put together for me to see.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Gold futures closed higher Wednesday, with uncertainty surrounding the ability of European Union leaders to come up with a plan to resolve the region's debt crisis helping the metal tally a week-to-date gain of more than 5%.
A lack of action so far in the euro-zone debt summit stoked "renewed concerns over the global economic situation," contributing to gold's climb, according to Darin Newsom, senior analyst at Telvent DTN. End-of-the-month short covering also was a supportive factor for the metal, he said.
"Gold could see its rally last at least through the end of the week," Newsom added.
Gold for December delivery GC1Z was up $23.10, or 1.4%, to settle at $1,723.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. That marked the highest close for a front-month contract since Sept. 22.
Prices, which touched a high of $1,728 earlier, have tallied a climb of 5.3% so far this week.
The precious metal has staged a major breakout above $1,700 an ounce, which "has been emerging as a new support level," with the next resistance level in the $1,750 to $1,760 range, said Colin Cieszynski, market analyst at CMC Markets Canada.
In euro-zone news Wednesday, the German Bundestag passed a motion effectively granting Chancellor Angela Merkel permission to work toward a plan to boost the lending power of the 440 billion euro ($613 billion) European Financial Stability Facility when she meets with fellow European leaders at a Brussels summit in the evening. Read more about the German parliament vote.
" 'At stake is the potential collapse of the euro and therefore Europe. It's as simple as that.' "
The vote came as European leaders gathered for another crisis summit to also talk about a second bailout for Greece and the recapitalization of regional banks. Read about the tough task ahead for European leaders.
"With Europe teetering on a knife edge, gold has once again resumed its role as the custodian of safe, and perhaps sane, wealth," said Ross Norman, chief executive at London-based bullion broker Sharps Pixley, in a note Wednesday.
Gold's climb higher came as U.S. stocks struck solid gains on reports of progress tied to European efforts to resolve its debt trouble. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
Economic news was mixed Wednesday, offering little guidance for gold.
The Commerce Department reported that orders for durable goods dropped 0.8% in September, though that was a smaller-than-expected decline. Read about the durable goods data.
Separately, the Commerce Department said sales of new homes rose by 5.7% to a better-than-expected annual pace of 313,000 in September. Read more about home sales.
On Tuesday, gold climbed 2.9% to score the metal's biggest one-day gain since Sept. 27 as U.S. stocks dropped broadly.
The stock market on Tuesday reflected doubt that the European Union nations "will reach an accord on policies to resolve sovereign debt while stimulating economic growth," according to Norman. The market, he said, is looking for "specifics" and not "generalities."
"At stake is the potential collapse of the euro and therefore Europe," he added. "It's as simple as that."
Gold, after having behaved more like a risk asset for a time, "has reverted to its safe-haven role and showed appropriate gains," Norman remarked.
Meanwhile, silver futures also climbed, with the December contract SI1Z adding 26 cents, or 0.8%, to end at $33.31 an ounce.
December copper HG1Z gained 7 cents, or 2%, to $3.49 a pound, although it pulled back from an earlier high of $3.59.
Lending support to copper prices, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.
In other metals trading Wednesday, January platinum PL2F gained $28.40, or 1.8%, to $1,597.20 an ounce, while December palladium PA1Z reversed course to finish lower, down $6.05, or 0.9%, at $646.05 an ounce. Earlier, it had touched an intraday high of $659.50.

Basic concepts in the mechanics and hydraulics of unsaturated geomaterials
Tarantino, Alessandro; Laloui, Lyesse, ed. (2010) Basic concepts in the mechanics and hydraulics of unsaturated geomaterials. In: Mechanics of unsaturated geomaterials. ISTE - John Wiley & Sons, London, pp. 3-28. ISBN 1848212666Full text not available in this repository.Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
Unsaturated geomaterials are those geomaterials where the void spaces are partially filled with liquid and partially filled with gas. The liquid (wetting) phase is an aqueous solution generically referred to as water whereas the gaseous (nonwetting) phase is a mixture of air and water vapour generically referred to as air. The mutual interaction between these two fluid phases and their interaction with solid phase play a key role in the mechanical and hydraulic response of unsaturated geomaterials. The basic mechanisms and thermodynamics of the interaction between the liquid, gaseous, and solid phases are not commonly covered by undergraduate and graduate courses. As a result, students and engineers with geotechnical background may find it difficult to approach the mechanics and hydraulics of unsaturated soils. The purpose of this chapter is to fill this gap and to illustrate the basic elementary mechanisms behind water retention, water flow, and mechanical behaviour of unsaturated geomaterials. Special emphasis is given to capillary mechanisms arising from surface tension at the air-water interface and from the angle formed by the air-water interface at the solid-liquid-gas junction (contact angle). Capillary actions play a major role in the response of unsaturated geomaterials and can conveniently serve as a basis to introduce the most distinctive features of the hydraulic and mechanical response of unsaturated geomaterials.
