Chapter 65 – Cultivating Soul Pouch
When Liu Ming saw the protruding bones spikes on the bone ball transform into a blurry black awn, his heart shivered in fear. He performed a single hand technique and specks of green light appeared on his fingers. His other hand and wrist shook and the Tiger's Bite Bracelet started trembling as a yellow tiger's head subsequently manifested.
However, before he could release his attack, from behind, a whooshing sound occurred. A foot long scarlet streak of light rapidly flew forward and smashed into the bone ball.
The scarlet streak exploded and morphed into a scarlet flame that engulfed the bone ball.
The bone ball's rolling attack came to a sudden stop and it proceeded to emit a low roar of anguish. When the surrounding flame faded, it had returned to its vaguely human form.
The Bone Corpse's body was now riddled with scars and it had clearly suffered large injuries from the previous attack.
Currently, this ghost's green blooded flame eyes pulsated and it fiercely glared at Liu Ming. Yet, it seemed to contain a trace of fear and despite being at such a close range, did not immediately pounce on him.
Liu Ming's gaze faintly flashed and he quickly turned his head.
He saw Jia Lan pointing a light green longbow at the Bone Corpse while hanging on the bow was a scarlet arrow arrow. Jia Lan held a cold and prepared expression while the arrow was notched; the blood wound on her shoulder had already completely healed and only a faint red line was left.
"Don't be distracted Junior Bai. This Bone Corpse's intelligence is quite high and unlike most Warrior Level ghosts, is extremely cunning. However, if the two of us combined forces, we should be able to fend it off for a while." When the charming young girl saw Liu Ming distractedly looking at her, her eyebrows creased as she warned him.
"Contend with it for a while?! Does Senior not plan on taming such a powerful ghost?" After hearing her reminder, Liu Ming returned his attention to the Bone Corpse, but was somewhat baffled.
"Although this naturally intelligent ghost that was transformed from a human is extremely ferocious, it is substantially different from other innate Miasma ghosts. Relying on the Spirit Communication Technique to intimidate and subdue it is impossible unless one's strength largely surpasses it. Otherwise, it may temporarily be tamed, but it can someday retaliate and devour you. Many masters in our sect have perished this way. Thus, I definitely do not plan on subduing this ghost." Jia Lan lightly replied after listening to Liu Ming's question.
"I understand now. Then our only option is to thoroughly slaughter it." When Liu Ming heard Jia Lan's comment, he sighed in pity before replying.
"Slaughter it?" Even with Jia Lan's naturally calm demeanor, after listening to this, she couldn't help but be startled.
The opposing Bone Corpse seemed to understand Liu Ming's words and after listening to the conversation, the blood flame in its eyes suddenly flourished in anger. Its two hands moved and subsequently pulled two black protruding bones from its body. An instant later, the bones turned into two bone lances and the ghost took a large stride forward before rushing at Liu Ming and Jia Lan.
The delicate young girl's pupils contracted, her hand loosened and the scarlet tip on the longbow fiercely shot out.
Amidst the surging flame, the large body of the Bone Corpse which had already charged quite close was repelled a few feet.
However, this ghost had been thoroughly provoked and was emitting a vicious expression. Despite the added wounds on its body, it didn't even pause before it threw the two bone lances in its hands and charged forward again.
"Sou, sou"! Liu Ming performed two one handed techniques and two wind blades instantly shot out. The wind blades skimmed the edges of the bone lances and whizzed by them. However, that was enough to deflect the lances away from Liu Ming.
Behind him, Jia Lan's face darkened and her two hands moved. The longbow impressively shot another scarlet streak.
Another loud sound rang, but this time, the Bone Corpse slightly shook. It unexpectedly withstood the might of the flame and continued to charge forward.
Liu Ming's vision congealed and he saw that a large unknown bone plate had appeared before the Bone Ghost's body. The ghost was holding the plate in front of its body like a shield as it charged forward. Within a few steps, it had already arrived in front of Liu Ming and with it came a fishy smell.
"Junior, quickly retreat!" Jia Lan saw this scene and her face darkened. She yelled in a low voice as her sleeves shook and the longbow in her hands disappeared. A light silver Glyph replaced it and started to vitalize.
However, what instantly made her startled was that Liu Ming had seemed to not hear her. He continued to stand in his original position without the intention of dodging. Instead, he raised his arm and the Tiger's Bite Bracelet produced an image of a tiger head roaring. A vast white sound wave then blitzed toward the Bone Corpse's head.
The Bone Corpse merely tilted its head and dodged the Tiger's Bite Bracelet's attack. The blood flame in its eyes jumped and its two large hands attempted to grab Liu Ming.
With the ghost's malevolent protruding bones all over its body, even if a Spirit Master were hugged, he or she would perish.
The delicate young girl's face underwent a genuinely drastic change. Despite her thoughts of saving him, there was not enough time.
"Pu, pu!"
Two large claws suddenly flew out from the sand under the Bone Corpse and in a flash, they clamped down on the Bone Corpses two bony white ankles. Although they did not separate the Bone Corpse's feet from its body, the Bone Corpse's charge came to a screeching stop and it nearly tumbled and fell.
This ghost was greatly alarmed and immediately grabbed a black protruding bone from his chest. It then immediately lunged at one of the large black claws.
However, a "Pu" sound suddenly rang through the air.
A black streak shot up from the sand and in a flash, it pierced the Bone Corpse's bony arm like lightning. It made the ghost shake and the bone lance fell powerlessly to the ground. Simultaneously, a black ink-like solution rapidly spread throughout its bony body.
Astoundingly, the black streak was a fierce-looking black hooked tail.
The Bone Corpse immediately felt a powerless feeling spread from its arm. Flustered, its remaining arm furiously clawed at that hooked tail.
However, the hooked tail was abnormally tenacious and despite the Bone Corpse's sharp claws, only an insipid white scar materialized.
At the same time, Liu Ming muttered to himself, put his two hands together and then slowly drew them apart; a half foot enormous wind blade instantly manifested.
Liu Ming let out a low shout and both his wrists shook. The enormous wind blade transformed into a green light as it shot right through the Bone Corpse.
The originally struggling Bone Corpse suddenly froze. Ensuing, its upper body lightly swayed and then separated from the waist and fell to the ground.
Liu Ming let out a light breath of air and his face exposed a smile.
However, concurrently, a "hong" sound echoed through the air.
The upper half of the Bones Corpse had exploded and a couple dozen black protruding bones immediately morphed into a dense black net of spikes that rapidly shot at Liu Ming and Jia Lan.
At such a close distance, even if Liu Ming wanted to, he was unable to put up any defenses. His mood darkened and he could only rapidly move his arms in front of his body.
However, at this time, a smothered sound emanated and broad layer of white light abruptly appeared in front of his body.
When the black bones smashed into this light shield, a muffled sound like rain falling on bamboo was transmitted through the air. Afterward, these vicious spikes helplessly fell onto the ground.
Liu Ming was slightly startled before turning around.
He saw that Jia Lan's hands were holding a silver Glyph that was exuding a white halo of light while she was softly mumbling a phrase.
When Jia Lan saw Liu Ming looking at her, her incantation stopped and she said while faintly smiling, "These Bone Corpses are extremely fierce and once they perish, their body will self detonate and attempt to take the opponent down with it. It seems that Junior Bai is not too familiar with this."
"Thank you Senior Apprentice for your help. I truly did not know about this." Liu Ming breathed in a deep breath before bitterly laughing.
"I heard this from my master, otherwise I would not know about this. However, Junior's strength completely surpassed my expectations. With your own strength, you were unexpectedly able to almost execute a Warrior Level ghost. One more thing, was this White Bone Scorpion tamed by Junior Apprentice?" Jia Lan stored her Glyph and spoke. Her eyes then fell to the White Bone Scorpion who was gnawing on the Bone Corpse's remains near Liu Ming.
"My strength is nothing. If not for Senior's help just now, I'm afraid that I really would have been taken down with that ghost. This White Bone Scorpion really was tamed by me during a stroke of luck. However, how did Senior provoke this Bone Corpse? Were you not traveling with Martial Aunt Bing?" Liu Ming asked back.
"When teacher entered this area, she got caught up in an external affair and had to leave me for a bit. As for this Bone Corpse, I unintentionally bumped into it and it ended up incessantly chasing me. Another thing, I also gathered one of our sect's disciple's name plates near the Bone Corpse. This Bone Corpse could very well be one of our sect's seniors who perished in this area." Jia Lan spoke before lifting her hand and tossing a jade plate at Liu Ming.
After catching it, Liu Ming carefully looked at it. It really was a special Barbarian Ghost Sect's nameplate. He couldn't help but let out a light sigh and threw it back at the pretty young girl. He then said, "The Ghost Hell Region's human shaped ghosts are extremely few so this must be the case. If we were to perish here, we would presumably also end up like this. This area is exceptionally dangerous so I will be preparing to return to the base. What does Senior plan on doing?" Liu Ming calmly asked while looked at the remains of the fallen Bone Corpse.
"I still have some other business so I will stay here for another two days. Thus I will not return with Junior. One last thing, I was saved this time by Junior Bai so I have a present for you. Treat it as a gift for saving my life." The pretty girl slowly said. Her eyes then flashed and she suddenly grabbed a black leather bag from her waist. She proceeded to throw it at Liu Ming.
"This… this is a Cultivating Soul Bag!" Liu Ming was stumped after he caught the bag. He promptly felt the cold feeling on his fingers and involuntarily cried out.
"That's right. With this item, Junior Bai should be able to keep the White Bone Scorpion alongside him for a long period of time. Moreover, you do not have to worry about a lack of Miasma and have the scorpion's strength slowly deteriorate." The pretty young girl faintly smiled as she talked.
"This Cultivation Soul Pouch's value is similar to that of Totems; each one of them costs over ten thousand Spirit Stones and are quite expensive. Junior cannot afford the cost." After hearing her talk, a peal of glee lit up Liu Ming's face but he couldn't help but bitterly laughing as he said this.
"If the item were even more expensive, how could its value compare to my life? Moreover, I still have another one of these items. From what I have seen, Junior is not an effeminate person, so why are you talking like this?" Jia Lan said indifferently. Afterward, she fished out another leather bag which was even more refined than the one that Liu Ming had in his hands.

I officiated a wedding.
Wedding officiant–that's what I was this past weekend as I celebrated the marriage of two of my wonderful clients.
They chose a gorgeous setting in Sonoma County, near the ocean and in the magnificent rural landscape of northern California. The whole affair was elegant and warm, with family from all over the country and Europe in attendance.
I coached this couple for four months and was able to bring to the ceremony the depth and intensity of their love and the challenges they have overcome to joyfully, and with open hearts, merge their lives together.
I think one of my favorite moments of the weekend was hearing them express their vows, hearing them express their love and the clarity with which they see one another.
This was also very meaningful to me because my mother officiated many weddings and I used to eavesdrop in on her conversations about practical matters, and the purpose and meaning in the ceremony.
This is me, at the beginning of the ceremony, watching in awe as the groom and his father walked down the aisle together.
I felt close to her as I performed that role, drawing on her energy which continues to be available 17 years after she took her last breath.
It meant that giving generously to this couple fed me deeply in ways they couldn't have known…
In preparing for the ceremony I thought a lot about this wonderful couple, and also about marriage in general. Here is an excerpt from the ceremony.
"Marriage is like a garden. It requires ongoing tending, or the beauty is lost. With consistent attention, there are exquisite blossoms…marvelous scents, incredible colors, and breathtaking shapes. In every flower, there are mysteries to discover, new patterns to see and more delight to be had.
The key is remembering to put in the time, and attention, for the garden to thrive, to remove the inevitable and often persistent weeds in order to keep everything vibrant…
Marriage is not for the faint of heart, even as the rewards are among the best that life offers."
Does this ring true for you?
What analogy would you use, to describe the experience of being in a committed relationship for a very long time?
I truly would love to hear, email me at email@example.com.
I hope you are enjoying the transition from summer to fall, with the equinox between them.

As ever a privilege to serve a breadth of churches tonight, in their interest and engagement with their local communities. Knowing how to plant ideas that reach across boundaries, know cultural sensitivity, biblical rootedness and some anecdotal life as well as Holy Spirit anointing is always a medium-sized ask, esp. with a group of strangers! God was so gracious…..
Here's ++Justin's presidential address that speaks to human flourishing.
Some timeless words from Dietrich Bonhoeffer in 'Life Together' that really excited me. "The more genuine and deeper our community becomes, the more will everything else between us recede, the more clearly and purely will Jesus Christ and his work become the one and only thing that is vital between us."
Here's more of the brilliant Michael Frost pdf resource that I mentioned. It's a really accessible and inspiring missional model for our communities in all-sorts of practical ways……Here's to seeing more of the Kingdom of God invading earth, as the darkness is pushed back and hoped gets planted in fresh life-giving ways.

|Message ID
When compiling for the same architecture and libc as the host,
GNU_TARGET_NAME and GNU_HOST_NAME are equal. configure scripts use
these to detect cross-compilation, and will decide that we're doing
native compilation. This may trigger running of executables,
which fail because of missing libraries in the host environment.
To solve this, set the vendor part in GNU_TARGET_NAME to buildroot.
This problem exists for instance in xserver_xorg-server on x86_64.
Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) <email@example.com>
v3: modify GNU_TARGET_NAME instead of GNU_HOST_NAME, which makes a lot
more sense of course. Thank you ThomasP!
I only tested this one with xserver_xorg-server on a Sourcery
x86_64 toolchain and with a simple config and an internal toolchain.
v2: -buildroot- instead of -buildroot_cross-, as suggested by ThomasP.

When it comes to filling stadiums and bringing in revenue, these ten college hockey teams are the best in the business. Using the 2013-2014 Department of Education website, I have compiled a list ranking the top 10 college hockey programs by revenue produced for their prospective schools. Because colleges and universities are non-profits, it is essentially pointless to look at the profits of any particular program for a true value, as a large portion of them simply 'break even' on paper because they put whatever they made during the season back into their expenses - or into another athletic program. Top-tier college hockey programs are now a talent-rich league that feed the NHL and compete in the recruiting game with the top major junior leagues in both the US and Canada - something that not too long ago was just a pipe-dream for the coaches of the NCAA. So without further delay, here is a list of the 10 most valuable college hockey programs.
University of Minnesota
Venue: Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis, Minnesota
NCAA Tournaments: 35
National Championships: 5
The Gophers arguably are the most successful NCAA ice hockey program of all time. Fans pack Mariucci Arena like few others in the country and with the newly formed Big Ten hockey conference, it looks like the University of Minnesota's revenue is not going to be sliding downhill anytime soon. At almost $8 million, it is not only the highest revenue NCAA college hockey team, but is so by a substantial margin. If you like the idea of watching perennial powerhouses duke it out on television, tune into the Big Ten Network on Friday and Saturday's.
University of North Dakota
Venue: Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, North Dakota
NCAA Tournaments: 28
National Championships: 7
The Fighting Sioux carry on a hockey tradition that is matched by very few college programs. At over $4.6 million in revenue, this National Collegiate Hockey Conference ("NCHC") power boasts the second highest revenue in all of college hockey. With legendary coaches like John Gasparini and Dean Blais, few would argue that college hockey doesn't rank number one in the hearts of the people of North Dakota - especially proven by viewing the salaries these coaches get.
University of Wisconsin
Venue: Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin
NCAA Tournaments: 26
National Championships: 6
Collegiate hockey does not get any bigger than at the University of Wisconsin. Badger fans show up in droves to the Kohl Center - and nearly every year they average the highest attendance in the nation. The revenue side of things is pretty chipper as well, as the program raked in nearly $4.5 million last year, making it the third most valuable NCAA college hockey program in the country.
Penn State University
Venue: Pegula Ice Arena in University Park, Pennsylvania
NCAA Tournaments: 0
National Championships: 0
After only a few short seasons at the NCAA Division I level, and thanks in large part to billionaire Buffalo Sabres owner Terrence Pegula, the Penn State hockey program is already one of the highest revenue NCAA hockey teams in the nation. The Nittany Lions were a powerhouse in the American Collegiate Hockey Association ("ACHA") and with the newly built state-of-the-art Pegula Ice Arena, the Penn State hockey fans have lots to look forward to in the years ahead.
Boston University
Venue: Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts
NCAA Tournaments: 32
National Championships: 5
College hockey rankings are used to putting Boston University near the top of the column. With arguably the best hockey rivalry in the NCAA with in-state foe Boston College, and over $3.3 million in revenue, the Terriers are the fifth most valuable college program in the country and best on the East Coast. Though struggling as of late, there is no question David Quinn will have this team turned around very soon and the Dog Pound will be jumping once again.
Colorado College
Venue: World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado
NCAA Tournaments: 20
National Championships: 2
Colorado College only has 2,011 undergraduates but this private liberal arts college does NCAA college hockey in a big way. The Tigers are the second college hockey team on this list from the NCHC, which might very well be college hockey's best conference, and have a revenue stream of over $3.2 for it's men's program alone.
University of Michigan
Venue: Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan
NCAA Tournaments: 35
National Championships: 9
The Wolverines have won an NCAA-record nine Division I NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championships. Red Berenson has been at the helm for 31 years now, and has amassed over 800 victories in that time period. It is obvious that the University of Michigan takes it's college hockey seriously and now that Big Ten hockey is up and running, it very well could be the perfect opportunity for the Blue and Maize to start making another run at an NCAA title.
University of Vermont
Venue: Gutterson Fieldhouse in Burlington, Vermont
NCAA Tournaments: 6
National Championships: 0
At nearly $3 million in revenue, the Vermont Catamounts are one of the highest revenue NCAA college hockey teams in large part because of their loyal fans. Of course, not giving a shout out to Patrick Sharp who attended this Hockey East program would be a disservice to all my fellow Blackhawk fans. Vermont is a great hockey state, and is not considered America's Winter Playground for nothing.
University of Alaska-Anchorage
Venue: Sullivan Arena in Anchorage, Alaska
NCAA Tournaments: 3
National Championships: 0
The Seawolves are a member of the WCHA and produce a revenue of over $2.8 with their men's ice hockey team. Other than having the coolest mascot in NCAA college hockey, they also have the coolest winter - no pun intended. With a healthy rivalry between Alaska-Fairbanks and a fairly decent talent pool for recruits, this secluded gem of a program is one to be familiar with.
Boston College
Venue: Kelley Rink in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts
NCAA Tournaments: 33
National Championships: 5
Boston College consistently has one of the top college hockey rankings, but is also home to one of the highest revenue's in the NCAA. As long as Jerry York just keeps establishing winning teams, the fans in Chestnut Hill will keep on smiling.

"Within the child lies the fate of the future." - Maria Montessori
A school such as Acorn Montessori is more than the sum of its students, teachers, and buildings. It is a community that is sustained in countless ways by the participation of everyone involved. In this community, every member has a role to play.
We encourage students to take part in community outreach projects, but we also rely on parental involvement to help the school — and the students — reach its full potential. As an Acorn Montessori parent, there are innumerable ways for you to have a positive impact on our educational environment. You can volunteer to help with an art show or school performance. You can also help lead tours of our campus to prospective families or volunteer at informational meetings about the Montessori educational philosophy. As an educational community, we are much stronger when everyone is involved.
An integral part of a Montessori education is helping our students develop a sense of community and understanding what role they have to play in making the world a better place. So when America's Grow-A-Row — a local organization that grows and donates healthy food for the hungry while supporting local farms, educating children, and raising awareness of nutrition and poverty — came to us looking for help in feeding the hungry of Hunterdon County, we found their mission and ours to be the perfect fit.
Parents and children in all three programs planted, cultivated, and harvested three different plots on our five-acre campus, with all the produce going to stock local food pantries. After planting early vegetables that were harvested prior to the end of the school year, we found the program made such an impact among the students and parents that we took part in a future plantings.
Even at a young age, children in the Rainbow Club are taught that they have the power to brighten someone's day. They take to each community project with a selflessness that is refreshing to watch, and take great pleasure in knowing how much their work is appreciated in the community.
Here are just a few of the community outreach efforts undertaken by the Rainbow Club:
"Character formation cannot be taught. It comes from experience and not from explanation."

Allow me to introduce my 10 year old twin granddaughters, Dive & Ella and my 12 year old niece Kathryn.
For the next few days I will be teaching them a variety of beading techniques and trying to fit in some other fun as well.
Today we did Shamballa bracelets and they are progressing well with their tiger stripe peyote stitch bracelets. Yesterday Kathryn taught us all how to make survival braclets and Diva will be teaching the crystal bracelets but she will be using round beads instead.
I taught her (& she perfected) this technique earlier in the year and I told her then that she would be teaching this summer.
I hope you enjoy the photos from the classes and a variety of other activities we are going to take part in.
We did make it to the lake today for an hour of swimming but I forgot the camera.

Our first initiative was at the Enozipho creche in Joe Slovo in conjunction with SALT.
Exclr8 were thoroughly excited to have the opportunity to spend some time at the Joe Slovo Enozipho creche organised for our team by the ladies at SALT. The day started off with 8 of our staff members preparing hot dogs and snacks early in the morning and heading off to the creche on a rainy Friday to play some games with the kids. We had organised Marie biscuit decorating, face painting, pass the parcel and musical chairs for the kids to play during the course of the morning. With our staff trying to keep up with the little ones, it soon become evident what an amazing group of unique and special children the creche has as well as how fantastic the team of ladies are that take such good care of them.
Without a doubt all our staff was humbled by the outing and quickly bonded with the kids and look forward to being able to do this again in the future!
A very big thank-you to Pauline and Janet from SALT for all their assistance as well as everyone at the Enozipho creche for welcoming us in.

2019 Programme sponsored by the British Council Cultural Protection Fund in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport
Improving Skills and Management Collection Care in Monastic Libraries in Egypt
The programme was a part of the project whose aim is to preserve the Egyptian cultural heritage funded by the British Council Cultural Protection Fund, in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
Location: Deir al-Surian Library, Wadi el-Natrun
May and November 2019
Tutors: Giovanni Pagani, Elizabeth Sobczynski, Francois Vinourd
Four separate training opportunities were offered to monks caring for monastic collections during the May and November Conservation Field Campaign in Deir al-Surian. The training hub established in the library of Deir al-Surian allowed the selected monks to gain specific skills, knowledge and experience in the following areas:
1. Collection management: how to successfully manage a collection digitally, and understanding the significance of cataloguing
2. Preservation methodology and improving conservation skills: understand the methods used to conserve monastic collections and learn conservation basics, including treatments to prevent further damage to paper and parchment
3. Introduction to ethics of collection care, practical information about housekeeping and refurbishment of books
4. Introduction to ethics of conservation: learn about judgment and treatment justification
5. Importance of sharing, creating dialogue and outreach activities: understand the purpose of conservation and how to share with others the significance of the collection
From the pool of the Deir al-Surian applicants, three monks with relevant skills demonstrated a clear interest in cultural heritage and were selected to learn more about collection care and conservation. This training was delivered in partnership with the head librarian, Fr. Amoon, through four 3-hour interactive training modules, which focused on one of the history of the library; the study of Syriac, Coptic and Byzantine bindings; collection management and the practicalities of rudimentary treatment of paper folia.
By attending these training sessions, the monks learned more about the significance of the monastery, technicalities of conservation work, and how to effectively provide practical support to Fr. Amoon in the running and management of the collection.
Additionally, we held a workshop in the monastery so that monks from other monasteries had the opportunity to come and learn about Deir al-Surian's heritage and practical approaches to its collections' preservation. We are pleased to announce that nine monks from monasteries in the Western Desert as well as St. Paul monastery on the Red Sea attended the course.
Through these training exercises, we have successfully shared our purpose and work with monks from various monasteries and achieved our goals of sharing the significance of Deir al-Surian and the collection we are conserving, as well as how to continue to preserve in years to come.

The 2012 Training Programme in Paper and Book Conservation was organized in partnership with Leiden University and was a follow up to a very successful 2010 programme for professionals from the leading museums, libraries and monastic collections in Egypt. The programme was supported by the Sawiris Foundation for Social Development. It was hosted by the Supreme Council of Antiquities and the National Library & Archives of Egypt.
Aim of the Programme The aim of the Programme was to educate museum personnel to be able to handle their own conservation needs in order to be less dependent of foreign support. We proposed to widen their understanding about the history and technology of the Coptic and Islamic book and to update their knowledge in modern requirements of conservation. There are relatively few opportunities for museum professionals in Egypt to refresh their skills and update their knowledge of developments in museology and conservation. The Levantine Foundation bespoke 2nd Programme was to meet this training need.
2010 Programme in Museology and Conservation
In 2010 The Levantine Foundation delivered hugely successful training programme in Museology and Conservation organised in partnership with Leiden University, The Supreme Council of Antiquities and The National Library & Archives of Egypt.
The course consisting of four programmes was generously sponsored by The Sawiris Foundation for Social Development (SFSD).
The course consisting of lectures and practical workshops was developed to provide training and technical support, for museum professionals and graduates in conservation/restoration from the leading museums and universities in Cairo. It was open to everyone who was then employed by a public institution or was seeking employment in public or private sector.

There are three kinds of brokerage accounts. The most basic kind is a cash-management account, into which investors place money in order to make trades. There must be enough money in the account to cover the trade at the time of its execution (including both the price of the security and the commission), or the investor must be able to pay for the trade within three days (which is called the settlement date). Some brokerage firms accept credit cards to fund cash accounts, but most require cash or a personal check. Such an account is often a good substitute for a bank account. A second, more sophisticated kind of brokerage account is a margin account, which allows an investor to buy securities with money borrowed from the broker. The Federal Reserve limits margin borrowing to at most 50% of the amount invested, but some brokerages have even stricter requirements, especially for volatile stocks. Brokerages charge a relatively low interest rate on margin loans in order to encourage investors to buy on margin. A third kind of brokerage account is a discretionary account, which permits the broker to buy and sell shares for the investor without first contacting the investor for approval.
Southeast Investments offers brokerage services through our clearing firm, AXOS Clearing.

Man up and prioritise your mental health
By Chibs Okereke
It's no secret that guys are terrible at talking about their problems, particularly when they're emotional ones. Men don't want to appear weak or burden others with their worries, and often have no idea why they feel so down or stressed out. So what do they do about it? Sadly, not a lot.
That's why we have Mental Health Awareness day. To shed light on the issue and instigate change. It's no wonder men's mental health issues are at an all-time high, with three in four suicides being male. And it's those working in isolated, male dominated professions who are suffering the most. Remote miners and construction workers are significantly more at risk of psychological distress than the general population and it's not hard to see why.
While there's a lot to be gained financially as a miner, being away from family and friends is tough. You miss important events, it puts a strain on relationships and you can feel socially very isolated. There's also the added pressure of harsh working conditions, long hours and lack of sunlight – all which can lead to things like depression, anxiety, insomnia and substance abuse.
Sounds pretty bleak right? Well the good news is there's a very simple way to help give your mental health a big kick in the right direction. It's called meditation. Now, if this conjures up images of cross legged hippies or religious gurus chanting, relax because it doesn't have to be like that at all. Meditation is actually very simple. It's free, you can do it anywhere, it doesn't require any skills or training to start, and you can tailor it to suit you. It's like medicine for your soul that you can self prescribe.
Why meditation? Well the science is bullet proof. Countless research worldwide shows that regular meditation is guaranteed to help make you feel happier and healthier – even if you're only doing it for a measly five minutes a day. It can also help you sleep better, increase your immunity, boost productivity and motivation, give you more self-control, and even help you feel less lonely.
If you've never practiced meditation before though and don't know how to go about it, then a good place to start is Mind Mechanic. Developed to help combat the male mental health crisis, it's a brand new, no nonsense free meditation app designed specifically for guys to help them tune more into life and get back on track. Featuring 360 immersive environments and straightforward guided meditations that really work, it's meditation for guys who don't know the first thing about meditation.
So let's face it, there really isn't any excuse not to take care of yourself. It's time for us guys to man up and realise there's nothing wrong with admitting we're struggling and take some time out to prioritise our wellbeing. After all, everyone deserves to be the best they can be, and meditation and mindfulness can help get you there.
Chibs Okereke is a qualified meditation and mindfulness teacher specialising in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). The Mind Mechanic app will be free and available in the coming months from iTunes and Google Play. For more details visit www.mindmechanicapp.com or follow them on Instagram and Facebook.

Paypal: quarterly net revenue 2010-2020
PayPal continues to grow fast, especially as consumers increasingly use the web and their mobile devices to pay for what they buy. PayPal's net revenue has been increasing steadily since 2010 - the payment provider usually sees a revenue jump associated with increasing usage during the holiday period with stable revenue growth during the following quarters. This comes at a time when mobile wallet services, payment services via a mobile device, are increasing.
Especially in the advanced digital market of the United States, there are many digital wallets to chose from. PayPal regularly ranks as one of the most-used products, along with Apple Pay and Google Wallet. As users become aware of mobile shopping possibilities, more people will begin using mobile wallet and PayPal has set themselves up to take advantage of this market with annual mobile payment volume reaching 227 billion U.S. dollars in 2018. In the second quarter of 2020, the digital payment provider processed around 3.74 billion digital and mobile payments.

1/3 of the members of Congress identify themselves as Roman Catholic. That is 33% of our representatives, in a nation that is only about 22% Catholic. In fact, despite a history of confrontation between Protestants (the overwhelming majority) and Catholics in America, today our two groups get along well enough that Catholics are generally treated no different than any other Christian sect. The makeup of our government bears out this truth. So, while a visit by a sitting pontiff will always be highly anticipated, it become even more so when 1 out of every 3 members of Congress sees him as the "representative of Christ on Earth".
While he may be greatly respected by our civil leaders, he is also viewed as a highly polarizing figure. In the Bloomberg View, Margaret Carlson argued that Congressional Republicans would be tuning out half of what the Pope had planned to say. She's not wrong, but she left out the fact that Catholic Democrats would also be tuning out about half of what the pontiff had to say. The difference? The GOP would be tuning out the pope's opinion on matters of politics, economics and science… while Catholic Democrats would be tuning out the Pope on matters of faith and morality.
Isn't one of these obviously a bigger deal than the other?
The pope isn't an authority on economics – he's a lifelong socialist activist, a result of having grown up in Peronist Argentina. (Also see here and here.) The pope isn't an authority on science – as a Jesuit he has always been very concerned with the poor, and he personally believes that climate change will unevenly impact the poor…which is why he speaks on climate change. The pope isn't an authority on politics – he grew up in an Argentina rife with corruption, so his entire political worldview is as affected by that as it is by his faith. When he considers the American government it is through the corrupt lens of Argentina's history.
On the other hand, when it comes to the matters of faith that Catholic Democrats ignore, like abortion, gay marriage and religious freedom, the Pope speaks with far more authority. On these issues he is the voice of the Roman Catholic Church — over 1 billion people strong — and yet… Democrat Catholics still ignore him.
On Thursday, he delivered a speech/sermon to Congress, and the question is which of America's Catholic politicians will actually react accordingly to what the Pope had to say? If I had to venture a guess… I'd say none.

FibreFlow provides fibre optic system for Kuala Lumpur Monorail Fibre Network
Emtelle's FibreFlowTM blown fibre solution was chosen to provide the fibre optic backbone network system for use with the SCADA, CCTV and communications systems for the Kuala Lumpur monorail in Malaysia.
The requirement was for a fibre optic system that would reduce installation costs, provide flexibility for design and be capable of being easily upgraded and accommodate design changes. These requirements, in addition to being easy to install, upgrade and maintain meant that our FibreFlowTM blown fibre provision was the optimal solution.
Project Overview
The project required a fibre optic ring network, distributing 8 cores of single mode fibres from each guide way beam to each of the 13 stations. 7-way DI (BFT) tubes were installed along the length of the two monorail guide way beams – each 8.6km in length. Blown fibre was installed in a 60mm HDPE duct, which was embedded in the monorail beams. The BFT was dropped off at each station from the up and down guide way beams to a communications room, where the fibres were terminated into 19" rack mount fibre panels.
The 8 cores of single mode fibre connecting each monorail station carry data for communications, SCADA, security cameras and signalling.
Flexibility of FibreFlowTM blown fibre
Such is the flexibility of our FibreFlowTM blown fibre solution that the system allowed changes to the installation very late on in the project – changes that would not have been possible using standard cable.
This included the provision for a 2-core fibre link from the two end stations to be installed directly to five locations and multimode fibre links to be installed into the same 7-way DI infrastructure for connectivity between the stations to the power switching rooms.
The two ends of the 7-way DI tube are terminated in 19" racks at each station using tube patch panels and tube bulkhead connectors. This allows for good tube management and subsequent fibre identification.
Fibre is blown into the selected tube from the front or back of the cabinet. By using an extended 5mm tube, it is possible to leave an over-length of fibre unit to be kept safely for splicing later.
Installation flexibility
The installation of the FibreFlowTM blown fibre system progressed in parallel to the civil works on the monorail project. Once the two beams were connected between each station, the 7-way DI tube was installed. The fibre was blown in once the station communications room was complete.

The Quality and Patient Safety Fellowship is intended to develop the future leaders in systems-based improvements and scholars in quality and patient safety. Academic Medical Centers are charged with training the next generation of health professionals. As regulatory bodies heighten their emphasis on the quality and safety of patients in health care, it is evident that we must attempt to educate new physicians and students on the core concepts of quality improvement and patient safety. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive system wide cross disciplinary curriculum for quality and patient safety, the Cincinnati VA Medical Center, in collaboration with the University of Cincinnati, Department of Internal Medicine, designed the Quality and Patient Safety Fellowship.
Education of physicians is a priority in this effort. There is a need to teach providers how to view the delivery of individual patient care from the prism of improving overall value and quality of care for a larger group of patients within a healthcare system. The Quality and Patient Safety Fellowship Program offers a one year fellowship designed for scholars with an interest in promoting a culture of patient safety and quality improvement. Scholars will provide outreach to Internal Medicine residents and staff in systems-based safety and quality improvement activities.
The Quality and Patient Safety Fellowship will train clinicians to be master internal medicine quality and patient safety educators through a curriculum that provides a balanced educational experience in training in a mentored environment and teaching in an environment that promotes innovation, scholarship, and dissemination.
Each applicant will have 2 levels of mentorship:
Projects will be resident/fellow-driven, mentored projects based upon interest of the applicant and a perceived need for improvement in quality of care and patient safety. The program will facilitate appropriate mentorship within the Cincinnati VAMC, depending on the scholar and the topic, and encourage cross-disciplinary collaborations. A detailed narrative including problem/issue identification, evaluation of remediation strategies, proposed implementation of intervention, pre- and post-intervention evaluation strategies, and final outcome improvement recommendations will be developed. The information technology within the Cincinnati VA Medical Center allows the prospective documentation of health indicators and outcomes. Additional statistical support for analysis may be provided through the statistical core of the Cincinnati Center for Clinical and Translational Science and Training. The scholar will be encouraged to undertake a project that will lead to a publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Quality and Patient Safety Fellow-led teaching opportunities
Development of the scholar's project will include the development of a specific assessment tools for evaluation of both the quality and patient safety scholar and the effects of the quality improvement or safety measure implemented during the project. Evaluation plans will include measures for:
The James M. Anderson Center for Health System Excellence offers an Advanced Improvement Methods program to train faculty in the advanced methods of quality improvement such as factorial design, advanced control charts and segmentation that allow them to publish rigorous quality-improvement projects in refereed journals and conduct quality-improvement research"; the scholar is encouraged to apply to participate in this intensive training program if appropriate.
Certificate course in clinical epidemiology and biostatistics can be achieved during this year, and credits towards a masters program are potentially possible.
Longer-term career development program include the VA National Quality Scholars Fellowship Program (http://vaqs.org) and the Quality Scholars Program offered through the Anderson Center. The program will also promote applicants to pursue federally funded mentored career development awards that focus on implementation/quality improvement/patient safety research (e.g. Veterans Health Administration/Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality).

Madden 15 is out. I will write more on the game this week (preview: the PS3 and 360 versions are a shady cash grab and missing new features).
Until then, let's have some fun.
This is Titans linebacker Christian Kirksey. He is not 1' 2" in real life, but anything is possible in Madden.
Here is a defensive lineman being plucked from the field by God before God decided he's not into football now that Tebow isn't playing.
Here's an orgy, I think.

You may have never considered owning a swimming pool due to the size of your backyard: perhaps your backyard is very small, or maybe it's an odd shaped space. Luckily Leisure Pools offers a wide variety of pool ranges that can fit virtually any space. If you're a swimming pool enthusiast, but never thought installing a pool in your backyard was possible, check out these great pool ranges by Leisure Pools.
Freeform Pools:
Some homeowners may face having a backyard space that is challenging. Leisure Pools freeform pools, like the Tuscany, can adapt to well to areas like difficult corner sites–where freeform shapes afford considerable versatility of placement. Freeform pool allow you to manoeuvre the pool into places that many other more formal shapes, or rectangular pools, won't fit. The Tuscany is offered in two great sizes: 8.65m in length and 4.10m wide, or 7.00m in length and 3.50m wide.
Courtyard Pools:
Leisure Pools offers the Courtyard Roman that is smaller in size, yet packed with features like a swim jet system for working out or the curved seating area where spa jets can be installed for massaging hydrotherapy. It's a small yet very versatile pool that can be used for entertainment, exercise, relaxation, or a courtyard centrepiece. The pool is 6m in length and 3.50m wide with a depth of 1.54m.
Plunge Pools:
In many areas these days, the available space for a swimming pool is becoming limited. For homeowners with very small backyards or lots, your dream of owning a swimming pool can still be possible with Plunge Pools. Leisure Pools offers the Platinum Plunge, Fiji Plunge and Olympus. These pools are modern and stylish, yet can be installed in a limited area of space. The Platinum Plunge is available in 3 lengths (4.98m, 4.46m, and 3.50m) with a width of 3.50 and depth of 1.60m. This pool has convenient entry steps on either side with a bench seat between the steps that can have spa jets and seat aeration fitted. It also has a flat bottom which allows for exercise or for kids to play. The Fiji Plunge is 2.90m in length and 2.10m wide with a depth of 1.35m.

The Fiji Plunge's compact size will fit in just about any size backyard and the bench seat allows the pool to be installed very close to your house or boundary fence. The Olympus is 4.60m in length and 2.20m wide and can be turned into an exercise centre with the addition of swim jets.
When facing even smaller spaces, a spa can be a nice fit. Spas offer many benefits from relaxation, to improved sleep, to minimising the pain of arthritis, joint pain, and muscle soreness. Leisure Pools offers the Sorrento Spa and Capri Spa ranges. The Sorrento Spa has many seating options that can be fitted with a number of different spa jet combinations.

Swim Spas:
Why not have the best of both worlds–a pool and a spa! Leisure Pools' Sorrento Swim Spa is in fact a Twin Zone pool that is divided into a Spa section and a Swim section, separated by a spill over bridge between the two sections. The Spa section is a full size spa with ample seating for 6 adults and includes 2 contoured turbo seats. The pool is an ideal size for effective heating and both sections can be heated independently of each other. Total length is 5.75m and width is 2.20m, allowing it to conveniently fit in a courtyard, roof top, or patio.
While these pools and spas are great for fitting into challenging or small areas, Leisure Pools offers a number of ranges of larger pools as well with a variety of shapes and features. Contact Leisure Pools today (www.leisurepools.com.au) and Get Swimming in Quality and Style.

In the study published in The Lancet medical journal on Friday, researchers warned of a "growing epidemic of premature death" in the world's most populous nation.
The research showed that one in three young Chinese men will be killed by tobacco.
It was conducted by researchers from Oxford University, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
"The annual number of deaths in China that is caused by tobacco will rise from about one million in 2010 to two million in 2030 and three million in 2050, unless there is widespread cessation," the study noted.
The death rate for men was not the same for women though, as there were fewer female smokers.
"About two-thirds of young Chinese men become cigarette smokers, and most start before they are 20. Unless they stop, about half of them will eventually be killed by their habit," said the article's co-author, Zhengming Chen, from Oxford University.
China is the largest consumer of cigarettes in the world, consuming over a third of the world's cigarettes, and has a sixth of the global smoking death toll.
In 2010, some 840,000 men and 130,000 women died because of smoking in China, which has a population of about 1.4 billion.
"With effective measures to accelerate cessation, the growing epidemic of premature death from tobacco can be halted and then reversed, as in other countries," the study added.
The research also highlights that "widespread smoking cessation offers China one of the most effective, and cost-effective, strategies to avoid disability and premature death over the next few decades."
The research relied on data drawn from two nationwide studies involving some 730,000 Chinese people in total.
The first study ran over several years in the 1990s, while the second, which started in 2006, is still ongoing.

Series: Dark Angel #4
Genres: Fantasy, Urban
Reviewed by:Publisher
Published by Signet Eclipse
Reviewed by Miranda
New York Times bestselling author Keri Arthur returns to the enthralling Guardian World—and a twilight realm of danger and desire… Risa Jones, half-Aedh/half-werewolf, can enter the realm between life and death. She can speak to the dying and the dead, and she can see the reapers, collectors of souls. What she can not yet see is the identity of a stranger murdering women and draining their blood. Now Risa must summon her gifts to find him, even if it means putting her own life in danger. But Risa needn't look far. The killer knows who she is. He tells her his victims are infected by darkness and he's fated to destroy them. Fascinated by Risa, he engages her in a sinister game: the chance to save the life of his next victim by deciphering his series of clues. In a race against time, she enlists the help of the reaper Azriel. But as an attraction between them grows, so does the fear that the stranger's motives are only part of a larger, more dangerous stratagem—one that that has lured Risa and Azriel into the dark.
Half Aedh, Half Werewolf Risa Jones is back with her own personal Reaper Azriel by her side. Risa's Aedh powers allow her to walk through the grey realm. Unfortunately, her latest trip through the gray fields puts her head-to-head with a psychotic serial killer. This killer wants to play a game of cat and mouse with Risa. All Risa needs is one more person trying to kill her or get her to work for them! Her plate is kind of full in that arena what with her own father trying to manipulate her. Risa rarely knows who she can trust but she better find out fast or this could be her last trip to the fields.
The Dark Angels series is better than ever in Keri Arthur's Darkness Hunts! Ms. Arthur heats up the story as Risa and Azriel are facing their feelings for each and at the same time battling evil. I love that we finally get some insight into the character of Lucian, Risa's sometimes bed mate. There is so much happening in Darkness Hunts it is bloody impossible to put the book down before the end. So many times I was shouting at the book, OMG! Not only does Darkness Hunts ply you with out of this world action but it makes the reader sizzle with its unending passion.
Keri Arthur's Darkness Hunts is powerful top-notch urban fantasy storytelling at its best! Arthur's extensive world and character building makes her a standout in the Urban Fantasy/Paranormal genre. Risa Jones is the kind of character that keeps readers coming back for more. Prepare yourself for edge of your seat thrills and thirst-quenching desire as Risa Jones takes on her latest adversaries in Darkness Hunts.

Coventry Welsh 20 Earsldon 14
COVENTRY Welsh defeated Earlsdon for the first time in four attempts in this meeting of the two promoted sides.
Kicking down the slope in first half, Lee Ashford scored a try for the Welsh, which was converted by Russell Hughes.
Then Earlsdon?s left winger ran 60 yards to score a fine opportunist interception try. Earlsdon also kicked two penalties with Andy Davies kicking one for the Welsh to make it 10-11 to Earlsdon at half time.
Now it was Earlsdon's turn with the slope and they put the Welsh under considerable pressure at the beginning of the second half.
The Welsh however defended well to allow Earlsdon only one penalty.
Andy Davies kicked a penalty for the Welsh to make it 13-14 to Earlsdon with 15 minutes remaining and it seemed Earlsdon had done enough until the second minute of injury time.
Second row forward Simon West made a break 30 yards from the Earlsdon line, passed inside to Liam Horan who scored under the posts.
Andy Davies, who was having a splendid game at fullback, converted.
The referee then blew for full time to end the game leaving Earlsdon's players dejected and Coventry Welsh's ecstatic.

Book Review: Death Comes to Pemberley, by P.D. James
If you've been following this blog for a while, you've probably figured out that I'm a fan of Jane Austen's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. (I even named one of my sons Austen!) So, naturally, I also gravitate toward the fan fiction based on Austen's books. I've been wanting to read P.D. James's book, Death Comes to Pemberley, for some time, so when I won a contest for a free book of my choice, I placed my order! I'm so glad I did because I loved this book.
It's not necessary to have read Pride and Prejudice to understand Death Comes to Pemberley, but it definitely enhances the reader's enjoyment of this book. James revisits most of our favorite characters from P&P, including the Darcys, the Bingleys, and George Wickham. This time, though, the tale takes a dark turn when a murder is uncovered in the woods of Pemberley! The unscrupulous Wickham, married to Elizabeth's sister Lydia, stands accused of killing his friend Captain Denny. Although everyone agrees that Wickham is a cad, and he's not welcome at Pemberley, they still doubt that he would stoop as low as murder. Nevertheless, with no other suspects in the picture, Wickham is arrested and goes to trial. I'll stop there so as not to give away any further details of the mystery. But I was definitely surprised by the solution to the crime. The killer was not who I suspected!
If you're a fan of Austen's work, or even just love a good mystery novel, I highly recommend Death Comes to Pemberley, by P.D. James. The author remains true to the characters first introduced in Pride and Prejudice, while adding more intrigue and excitement to their story. This national bestseller is a highly entertaining read!
Disclosure: I won a gift card in a contest, which I used to order this book. This post contains my Amazon affiliate link.

It has been a less than stellar week.
I have a cold. It has prevented any amount of productivity that I had planned for the past week. I have some articles that I need to write, but when I have a head cold my brain slows down and words just seem to get stuck in the head fog. I was going to clean out the refrigerator, but when I have a cold I have trouble making decisions, so that also went un-done. I did bake a cake! But there is a little more to that story too.
I had visions of banana bundt cake with brown butter cream cheese icing or maybe a caramel glaze or possibly a brown sugar maple icing, but let's face it, I am the only one in my house that would want all these deliciously sweet icings. I know you would and it's a shame that you aren't here to enjoy this cake with me. The real truth is The Husband and my son want it plain. Plain banana cake that they can have 10 pieces of each day. So, I made it plain because I have this cold and I wouldn't be able to taste the yummy icing anyway.
My plan was to take all of these amazing pictures of this cake with this icing dripping slowly down the sides, but I didn't make the icing and I took a ba-jillion pictures and didn't really like any of them. Again, I am going to blame it on the cold.
But let's look at the bright side. Is there anything better than a moist piece of banana bundt cake, icing-less, with a cup of coffee in the morning or afternoon? Comfort food, oh yeah. I love a good ole southern bundt cake. The sour cream in this cake made it extra dense, extra moist and extra yummy.
This recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks, Baking, From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan. Do you have this cookbook? I bought my copy a couple of years back when I decided I wanted to be a real baker. There are times when I use the recipes and then there are times when I just read the book and stare longingly at the pictures. This book is filled with delicious recipes and easy to follow directions. Dorie Greenspan is the expert on baking. I listen to everything she says. If she tells me to let the eggs sit at room temperature before using, then I am going to do it. There must be a good reason.
Hopefully next time we chat, I will no longer have a cold, my refrigerator will be cleaned out and I just might have baked something for you that has sweet, drippy icing!
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
4 very ripe bananas – about 1½ cups or slightly more
1 cup sour cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt pan with butter or spray with non-stick spray and set aside. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Mash the bananas together in a small bowl and set aside. In a stand mixer, beat the butter until creamy with the mixer on medium speed. Add the sugar and continue to beat until mixed completely. Add the vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, one at a time. Now add the bananas. Once combined. Mix in half the flour mixture. Then add all the sour cream and then the rest of the flour mixture.
Pour into the prepared bundt pan and bake for approximately 60 to 70 minutes. (Timing will vary depending on your stove.) After 30 minutes, check on the cake and if it is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with a foil tent. To check for doneness, insert a thin knife deep into the center of the cake and see if it comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling on the rack.

The World Cup begins in Brazil on Thursday, and England play their first match (against Italy) on Saturday. Read more >>
In the cartoon by Paul Thomas from the Daily Express, a woman dressed in an England football kit complains to a passer-by that her husband will only take notice of her during the World Cup if she wears 'this strip'.
Strip is another word for 'kit' - the 'uniform' worn by a football, rugby team, etc.
In fact, the woman is wearing England's away strip, i.e., the strip worn by England players for games outside England when the opposing team's colours are too similar to England's usual 'home' strip (white shirt and shorts).

Band: Syberia
Album title: Resiliency
Release date: 22 April 2016
Label: Debemur Morti Productions
With Resiliency the band documents a mental and spiritual transformation where darkness and light are both essential to the transmission of ideas. The four members of Syberia don't use any words, just two guitars, bass and drums, ok, that's nothing new for post-"xy" genre, but where some of the bands just sink into mellowness, Syberia enthuses with ability to provoke exceptional emotions regardless of the song´s length. The music of this quartet needs your full devotion and relaxation, even though it won't be annoying if played as a background music. Everything is pretty cinematic, Syberia combines swathes of yearning, crashing crescendos with the serene and pastoral. All of the tracks have some kind of a very reliable pathos, everything is well connected, keeping the listener in some sort of a trans and continued suspense.

Nailed the issue to the floorPosted: August 11, 2012 Filed under: ACTION, PLACES | Tags: blended idioms, expressions, floor, malaphors, mixed idioms, nail, words Leave a comment
This one perhaps combines "nail down" or "nailed it" (get it right) and "take the floor" (one's turn to speak). On the other hand, perhaps "wipe someone off the floor" (beat someone up) could have been part of the equation? The context in which I heard it was someone saying that the person really was accurate, as in they "nailed it". "Nailed the landing on the floor" (gymnastics) seems the closest, though Martin Luther's nailing of the 95 Theses to the church door could have been swirling in this person's subconscious. Free association is such a personal thing, don't you agree?
