RE: <PREANN> Gib's mining farm
@Gibsalot thank you for that informative answer and I really like the ROI ! Keep going I also like the buy back option it works very nicely for the numbers. BTW I am jealous at the amount of burst you are mining but I know that I will get there soon.
RE: Language .....
@haitch THANK YOU!!!!!!
RE: <PREANN> Gib's mining farm
@Gibsalot what is your estimated time for 100% ROI on just the first 100K meaning if I invest 1000 Burst how long will it take before I make a profit. The assets that you have invested in, have you gotten 100% ROI on the amount of burst you spent because if you have not then you have 0 (Zero) profit to give away. You have stated that you are Plotting 21TB how many TB are you currently mining with?
I have now read this entire thread from beginning to end. First off companies such as 2K games right here in Las Vegas Nevada spend between 1 and 2 million USD to create the NBA games that people actually buy and spend thousands of hours playing, so if you want us to believe you spent that kind of money to create and app either your company has a rating of 'F' when it comes to managing finances or you think that we are really ignorant to what things cost { An amount that has to be paid or given up in order to get something.
In business, cost is usually a monetary valuation of (1) effort, (2) material, (3) resources, (4) time and utilities consumed, (5) risks incurred, and (6) opportunity forgone in production and delivery of a good or service. All expenses are costs, but not all costs (such as those incurred in acquisition of an income-generating asset) are expenses.} Second I know that this is a scam because you consistently reference the 23 Caribbean countries that this is going to benefit and how money will come from there, again your CFO (Chief Financial Officer) earns an "F" because the numbers being thrown around are based on assumption. Any company large or small base value on money that is not there to show as direct proof. Okay enough with the business 101 education and also business ethics. Third and now is where I am going to attack you and your ethics personally you started the personal attacks now I end it, Don't EVER attack persons on this forum that you do not know case in point { First of all, you were one of the Burst Nation disciples (lynch men), what are you even doing here? } this was a personal attack on @whateverUsayman, you do not know what the hell went down at BN he was attacked for speaking up against ADAM and for the attack Adam did to his wife! Then as people asked questions regarding the VALUE of your company and by the way these people that have more intelligence in their little finger than you do in your entire existence on this planet, yet you want to attack them for calling you out, that crap does not wash here.
You Also stated
@pml2020 said in PMLNETWORK ASSET:
I gave you guys more than enough information over at Burst Nation, you all just never replied or ask me any more question or said what I needed to change or supply or provide. Adam said he will get back to me, after 9 days of waiting for approval I got the point that it was just too much politics involved in posting an asset over there and just told him that I was no longer interested in posting the proposal there. FYI
Have a blessed day.
Are you confused WE are not apart of BN so what makes you think that anything you posted there was seen by this forum????? The laughable part is that if you can't get ADAM to respond to you that should really be yelling at you in bright neon colors I am a terrible conman!!!
Here is also a definition of "value" pertaining to business (1. Accounting: The monetary worth of an asset, business entity, good sold, service rendered, or liability or obligation acquired.
- Economics: The worth of all the benefits and rights arising from ownership. Two types of economic value are (1) the utility of a good or service, and (2) power of a good or service to command other goods, services, or money, in voluntary exchange.
- Marketing: The extent to which a good or service is perceived by its customer to meet his or her needs or wants, measured by customer's willingness to pay for it. It commonly depends more on the customer's perception of the worth of the product than on its intrinsic value.
- Mathematics: A magnitude or quantity represented by numbers.
This is where we say GAME, SET, MATCH. Now go and take your shtick and FIND LIFE ELSE WARE.
Can we please get the admin @haitch or @daWallet to shut down this thread it has no use here, it is a waste of people time and energy that could be put forth to creating and talking about more positive ways that burst can be very beneficial to other companies.

RE: Need help setting up my asset.
@falconCoin trying to help in a small way to help others understand what I see would be a great step forward in assets but the questions I have are also there to really help me understand some finer points.
Need help setting up my asset.
For a while I have said that I want to help in anyway possible, and yet I have not given thought as to where to start, I was being lazy waiting for someone to just say here can you help with this. I have been apart of Burst now going on 7 months and what have I done to help what Ideas have I laid out on the table to get other people interested in growing, stream lining, or just being as creative as possible so that Burst is moving in a very positive direction, garnering people to sit up and take notice, at the same time stopping the drama that is hindering forward and upward development. ( Yes there will be people that will always try to hinder progress we have to show that we can rise above it all )
The first thing that I would like to help with is Asset building and stream lining the process so that anyone that is really in this for the long haul and at the same time help eliminate even more scam assets because of some vital work that needs to go into building, proving, and maintaining great assets ( this statement is in noway a claim on my part that certain assets that are currently out there are bad ) In order for me to help in anyway is to learn how to build the asset and what is needed. There is someone that I truly want to thank that months back peaked my interest in assets @RichBC you ask asset issuers a lot of questions, thru these questions I have come to determine that somethings should be automatically put into the PRE-ANN so that people can read it see everything without having to guess and have to ask further questions which slows down the process of getting it out there and have people know that this asset has answered every question that could be relevant in determining to buy or not to buy.
The following will be what I see that should be mandatory items in the PRE-ANN process and some questions to be answered I really do not know the answers to. I also would like to start slow and with something that almost everyone already owns and uses "THE MINING RIG" also Ladies and Gentleman when answering questions can we have the explanations given so that anyone with even the most basic understanding of how to at least turn a computer on kind of like trying to explain computers to your 80 year old grandparents that are still using a basic phone line in there house and no cable can understand I think we all get what I am saying.
Current, Clear, pictures of your mining setup ( Mining Rig ) this shows proof of ownership that you personally have spent your own money to start your build ( without these you should go directly to CROWDFUNDING ).
Show current hard drive(s) and how many Gigabytes or Terabytes that are in operation This can be done with a screen shot of your drives.
Show proof of work. How much is your mining rig producing this should be the last 30 days before launch then once a month as long as the asset is still in operation. Doing this will show several things, a slowdown of mining this should be addressed before the 30 day mark, loss of power, the CPU died, the mother board burnt to a crisp, or mining has increased more hard drive space was plotted and added, you switched from CPU mining to GPU or the JMINER ( I have not used the GPU miner or the J miner ) Did you change pools and in doing so are you now winning blocks more often.
Distribution of Dividends. I saw that @haitch said
Issuers, one of the biggest issues for the Community is the number of scam assets that have been issued - these have cost members many millions of Burst. So trust is a big factor facing a new asset issuer. Long known members can issue an asset and the community will trust that member and asset. A new member with no history, but a brilliant idea for an asset will face a lot of skepticism.
To address this problem, I've set up a two part service to give the community more confidence about the asset, and it's issuer.
Part 1 is an Identity Verification service. Prior to publishing your asset you'll DoX yourself to me, and only me. I'll verify that you are who you claim to be, and have a verified address for you.
Part 2 is an escrow service, where you'll deposit some of your IPO funds, so that in the event of you attempting to scam, or your idea/asset failing, a portion of your funds will be refunded to the community.
To add my two Burst it should not matter if the person is new or has been here since 2014 I understand that reputation helps a lot but that still does not stop ANYONE from walking away with all the $$ and saying bye suckers.
Question: once the initial escrow is setup, should there be another that a small percentage of the dividends is put into to pay for equipment replacement, upgrades?
Question: ( try to keep the laughing to a low roar ) How much burst to I need in my personal account to start an asset I ask this because I see assets that start at 10000 burst to millions to sell?
Question: what is the best way to determine the starting value of the the Burst to sell?
Question: should there be three or four wallets setup. One for total amount of burst earned, Second for the percentage that was set to be paid to the asset holders. A third for the percentage set to pay yourself. A forth if a second escrow is not needed for replacement of parts, upgrades etc.
Question: should there be a two party system be set in place one for the escrow. I see this as two highly trusted and high reputation persons that will make sure that the dissemination of those funds will be handled properly and a proof of the total amount of funds along with proof that each asset holder was paid their appropriate amount.
Let the answers commence please do not just give a one word answer when answering it should be a good reasonable answer so everyone can understand a positive or negative response with a valid answer. Please do not argue over one persons response that will just delay positive and forward movement. if two or more parties wish to argue over a persons response please take to PM's.
It is very possible that I may have more questions please be patient with me in the long run you are also helping others.
Thank you,

SDR has always had a bad reputation with CW. Various excuses have been used over the years. I think Peaberry CW has proven this is simply because we never had the right software architecture. There were technical issues for which I had no precedent or published research to build on. But all the difficult problems have been solved.
It took about four months to get Peaberry CW where it is today. Imagine the salary of a software engineer and divide by three. That's what it cost to make this Open Source software available. There's still a lot I'd like to do. Unfortunately, I have expenses like food, housing, health insurance, and so on. Selling radios doesn't come anywhere near covering these expenses. The Peaberry projects are very much a labor of love.
Right now I'm looking for a job. Development will slow substantially. However, you may be able to help create a different reality. Here's some thoughts...
Spread the word. Let your club, mailing lists, forums, twitter followers, and facebook friends know this project exists. It's possible there's an untapped market of CW enthusiasts who can support development a while longer with the purchase of radios. I'm sure these folks aren't actively looking for SDR solutions because the bad reputation has been around for more than 15 years. So we have to go find them.
I've been looking at crowdsourcing (kickstarter/indiegogo/etc.) but this isn't my area of expertise. I've never seen a ham radio project get funded. Hacker SDRs get funded all the time but they have a substantially larger market than hams who need FCC part 97. If you have experience with successful crowdsourcing and want to run a campaign, please let me know.
Sometimes, open source projects get grants or fellowships. Maybe you are or know of a philanthropist who likes what I'm doing and wants to write a big check.
Flex has all but abandoned the low-end SDR market. Their $700 entry level radio can't even do CW as well as a Peaberry now. Perhaps there's an opportunity to turn the Peaberry project into a real company. I think an all band Peaberry with 5-10W output would be extremely popular but it would have to be factory-built which I can't afford to do. I'd need a business guy, an investor, and so on. I've started several conversations along these lines over the years but they never went anywhere.
If you know C++ and Qt you could contribute code. It's fairly advanced code so you'd probably learn some interesting things along the way. For example, all concurrency is lockless; not a single mutex in the entire application.
[Insert your idea here.] Whoa. I hadn't considered that.

A threshold moment.
After a feisty 2 weeks in Budapest last November Reboot the Roots were invited back to explore Augusto Boal's transformative techniques with The Alternative Workshop Series Budapest. Last week, late February 2016, George Wielgus and myself facilitated the group for 3 days focusing on Rainbow of Desire.
This was the first time I had co-facilitated with Reboot the Roots and even though George and I had had detailed conversations about the form and content, I arrived on the first day nervous and expectant. What I found was a keen, smiling, (and late) group of social workers, teachers, people working with refugees, in human rights NGOs and drama students.
My role was to facilitate the mornings, preparing the group physically, emotionally and mentally for the afternoons and cultivating a culture of care within the space. Not everyone knew each other or the techniques, and I had concerns that newcomers might be overwhelmed. However the group bonded with ease and we reached a better-than-planned threshold moment by day three.
In the mornings we played trust games in pairs and in groups. We tried out how it feels to make physical connections, to touch and be touched, lift and be lifted. We played many power games some I'd devised to work alongside Rainbow of Desire, so I'm looking forward to trying them again when I facilitate with George in May.
In the afternoons George lead us through Rainbow of Desire including Analytical Mirror and Cop in the Head, all forms of Theatre of the Oppressed that focus on oppressions we experience from within. Augusto Boal, developed these technique in response to his time in Europe when he found the oppressions many people faced were internal more than external (different, he writes, to in the South American cultures with which he originally designed Forum Theatre.)
To give a surface overview George would ask a protagonist to perform an unfulfilled desire in front of the group. Then following a specific structure and involving other participants, the situation was explored from many angles. By the end the whole group is acting / (spect)acting resulting often in the protagonist reimagining their situation.
George is great at holding everyone's attention, keeping sight of the structure while allowing spontaneity space to play. This for me was where the magic began. When the protagonists, antagonists and spectactors were moved to get involved, when without instruction people intuitively knew what to do, how they wanted to move, speak and relate to others in the space. In these moments there was a tangible sense of flow.
Sometimes however I felt the lines were not so clear. For example deciding when to step in and when to step out of commanding the space, balancing the linear versus nonlinear aspect of the technique, knowing where duty of care ends and self responsibility begins, and when the structure of the technique can be adapted and when its order needs to be kept… All this perhaps comes down to being present listening and intuitive. I've become interested in tracking what shifts the energy or mood. Noticing what actions and comments instigate change or reveal another layer of understanding and learning how we can use this to change the dynamics of a situation.
The threshold moment came on Sunday as a result of some well structured pedagogy and a fantastically open group. In the morning we went quite deep into personal boundaries by practicing saying no / stop to physical touch before it became too much. In the feedback people expressed appreciation for the clarity this gave them in how they asserted their boundaries in real life settings. People reflected on how hard it was to say stop because they didn't want to be seen as weak, others were surprised by how much weight and pressure their partner enjoyed. There was a conversation about how the memory of this simple exercise would be helpful in real life in moments of physical, mental or emotional abuse of power. This series of exercises can be very triggering so it was beautiful to see a sense of respect and quiet collective appreciation. This vulnerable and honest state made the perfect foundation for an afternoon of the intense but palpably transformative Cop in the Head technique. What a workshop!!!!
And so to the future… After telling participants about my work with Eroles Project a learning centre in Spain, which this year explores the theme of Borders, many are keen on participating in the programme. What's more two of the participants happened to work with Utilapu a Hungarian organisation working with refugees and migrants in Budapest and we are now in conversations about forming a partnership.
As I travel back to Madrid exhausted and enlivened, I am in the midst of designing a training using techniques from Theatre of the Oppressed. I'd like to zoom into boundaries and personal experiences of power to explore the universal imbalance of power. I am hoping to offer this to women's groups and organisations in Madrid working with refugees. My experience in Budapest with Reboot the Roots has given me the confidence to focus on what I can do, not what I can't. There is no reason for my life to be controlled by the Cops in my Head.

Mixing Two Colors of Wicker Furniture
Wicker furniture comes in all shapes and sizes and can work in either indoor or outdoor spaces. Typically made of rattan, willow, reed or bamboo, they are usually in some varying shade of a neutral brown, white or gray. Although it can be easy to match two drastically different colors of wicker, such as a dark brown and crisp white, coordinating two similar shades can be tricky. With some forethought, and maybe a little refinishing, you can make just about any two colors work together to give your space a cohesive look.
When Choosing Pieces
Incorporating two shades of wicker in your design can make the entire space more interesting. To find two colors that match, view swatches of all of the possible finishes in the space where you'll be placing the furniture. Lighting changes not only how one color looks, but also how two colors look together. Opt for pieces that are made of the same material and are the same style to make coordinating two different colors easier; in most cases, the pattern of the weave is the most prominent feature, and as long as the colors coordinate and the weave is the same, the wicker will work well together. You can also create a pleasing effect by choosing two vastly different styles of wicker furniture in coordinating colors. The only real thing to avoid is two styles that are almost the same, but not quite; this creates the impression that you tried to find two matching sets but just missed the mark. Obvious differences tend to translate better in a finished area.
Paint the Wicker
While wicker often comes in natural tones, it can easily be painted. If you're starting with two different shades of wicker that just don't work together, paint one of them to coordinate with the other, or paint both of them to match. Clean the wicker thoroughly and then use a deglosser or sanding block to remove the shiny finish, making it easier for the paint to adhere. Paint the furniture with a coat of primer and two or more coats of an oil-based wood paint suitable for the environment where the furniture will live. A paint spray gun works best and gives you more color options, although canned spray paint will work as well.
Furniture Arrangement
Choose one shade of wicker to balance the perimeter of the space and use the other toward the center. This prevents the area from appearing lopsided and keeps pieces separated enough so that they don't overpower one another while still allowing them to work together to create a cohesive design. Light, cool furniture around the perimeter of the room will make it appear larger, especially with a darker, warm shade of wicker in the center. On the other hand, dark furniture around the perimeter will create a definitive boundary, making the area feel more intimate. You can add a few smaller pieces in the opposite color close to the perimeter furniture to tie everything together and soften the space, or go for a more eclectic feel by mixing the two shades.
Tie Items Together With Color
Balance the combination of furniture by picking a color that coordinates with both shades of wicker and setting pillows or other items in this color on or near the furniture. The color acts as a visual bridge between the finishes, making their placement in the room make more sense. For example, dark cherry wicker and a crisp white may seem too different, but when both are outfitted with a cushion or placed on a rug in a color that matches both pieces, such as a soft shade of orange or warmer taupe, they blend together more easily.

Dear students,
The globalization has decreased the distance between countries, economies, and institutions. As a result of this, the conditions of their developments and co-existence are redefined. In this context, our department aims to equip its students with the skills required to succeed in today's challenging environment. Our graduates will be able to work in private sector, public sector and non-governmental organizations. They will work as experts or managers in international companies in various departments, such as import-export, accounting, finance, production, marketing, sales, research, administration, human resources, etc, in the chambers of commerce and industry and in various research institutions. Moreover, our graduates will be able to continue their academic careers since they will have acquired all the necessary knowledge and skills.
The strength of our department lies in our academic staff competence, their foreign language skills and their ability to use modern technology. Thanks to links that are formed with educational institutions abroad, students will also have the opportunity to spend part of their studies in different foreign universities. In addition, students will have the chance to meet faculty members from both Turkish universities and universities abroad in the seminars, workshops and conferences organized by the department.
The Economics Undergraduate Program will set out on its journey in the academic year 2012-2013. We aim at receiving students via the Undergraduate Placement Exam (LYS) as well as attracting foreign students in line with our efforts to create an international environment. All the students who will be placed in our program via the LYS will be offered various forms of scholarships. Our department targets to be among the world's most popular schools that are engaged in research and education in the field of economics. Hence, we expect that successful students from all over the world will prefer our program.
We hope to see you too in our department.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bengi YANIK İLHAN - Chairperson of the Department of Economics

I happened to find myself accompanying someone to an office, and decided to spend my time writing while I sat and waited. Not only did it give me something to do, but it also helped me think outside of my normal areas of inspiration.
Here is what I wrote that day:
The air conditioning worked double-time to keep the room at a subarctic temperature, and the frigid air blew directly at the couch where I sat. It was a squashy, red pleather sofa, and it wasn't necessarily too tall as I was too short to put my feet on the ground when sitting all the way back.
There was only one painting hung on the wall, and the colors on the canvas were a reflection of the couch and walls. Three of the walls in the office were a pale yellow that matched the odd, contemporary building in the picture. The fourth wall was the color of azurite, and it was a toss-up whether it matched a view of the sky or a body of water just beyond the building in the picture. The rest of the art had a bold stripe of red on the right side that correlated with the couch, but didn't seem to play any particular role in the picture. Just one of those paintings you picked up because it matched the decor and not because it had any particular meaning, I guessed.
The reddish-mahogany frame of the painting complemented the desk, which took up almost a quarter of the room and sat in the corner right across from the door. It was in the shape of a half square, and looked as though it may have been two separate, matching pieces.
Aside from the painting the rest of the walls were bare, and lent credibility to the woman's story of having just moved into the office. The other clue was all the boxes stuffed in the available spaces beneath her desk. A few personal touches dotted said desk: cards, a small award made of glass, and a picture that was difficult to discern from my place on the couch. The rest of the desk held functional work items: papers, filing systems, a printer, and a laptop that exhibited a flair of her personality by being a neon violet.
She sat at a table of smooth, real wood–none of the pressed, fake wood here. Its stain was light and appeared slightly aged, with metal bits nailed onto the corners as accent pieces. The legs of the table were a dark brown, almost black, metal, and I imagined that at least one person a day would smart their shins when they sat down.
The six chairs at the table had the only contrasting color in the room–a grey fiber with buttons pressed into the backs. They had no arms, which wasn't a problem for me as I tend to speak with my hands, and the legs of them were black.
The only hint toward the woman's profession stood toward the 'back' of the table–a set of scales. They were in the center of the table until everyone say down, which was when she had to move them so everyone could see each other.
The most interesting piece of furniture, by far, was a hutch with a multitude of drawers, and it sat in a sort of extra corner of the room. The wood was a medium brown between the darker color of the desk, and the lighter one of the table. The largest drawers on the bottom were three up and two across, with a smaller section up top that allowed for a small shelf. The top portion had many tiny, rectangular drawers, twenty-one in fact, and they sat on top of four small, square drawers.
The drawers on the bottom had old burnished metal handles, and the drawers above used small, tongue-type handles that you'd hook your finger under and pull to open. The wood was dinged and scratched in places that suggested consistent use, but not necessarily neglect.
When the woman took something from the drawers she unconsciously ran her hand, almost lovingly, over the wood. I imagined it must have been a pain getting it into the office, but it clearly held fond memories that made the effort worthwhile.
Atop the hutch sat two silver birds, an antique, stained glass lamp that couldn't have been more than six- or seven-inches tall–more pretty than functional. There was also a glass plate with horizontal stripes of various blues, greens, and one stripe of cream, that sat in a curled metal holder. The final piece was on the shelf above the bigger drawers, and it was a flowery, metal business card holder.
The convenience of the office location in relation to her home made her enjoy the space, though she'd stated that beyond that the just was still out on whether she truly liked it–pun intended. The joke made her and me smile briefly before she continued to work.
As I'd walked up earlier I'd seen her through the window just prior to knocking. She'd kicked her shoes off beneath the desk, and was moving them restlessly across the computer mat and the purplish Berber carpet, whose highlights complemented the couch.
Her job involved more sitting down than anything, and her desk/computer chair reflected that. It had the rolling wheels, hence the computer mat, and looked to be comfortable and made of black pleather.
Well that was all I got before we had to leave, and even though it doesn't hold any story, plot, or point, world-building is something we have to practice at, as well! Sometimes how a writer describes a place can make all the difference in how well a person connects with a scene.

'Creed' Sequel Targets November 2017 Release Date
Posted on Monday, January 11th, 2016 by Angie Han
A Rocky spinoff about Apollo Creed's son may have sounded like a terrible idea on paper, but when Creed actually opened it was an unqualified success. Audiences loved it — it's made $105 million so far in the U.S. and counting — and critics adored it. It made a creaky old franchise feel fresh again, without undoing all the earlier installments. Heck, it even won Sylvester Stallone a Golden Globe last night.
All of which is to say a Creed sequel was only a question of when, not if, and now we have our answer. MGM is reportedly eyeing a November 2017 release date for the film, putting it about two years after Creed's release. That's the good news. The bad news is what this might mean for director Ryan Coogler's involvement.
Speaking to Variety last night, MGM CEO Gary Barber revealed his hope of getting the Creed sequel out in November 2017. "That's my goal," he said. Although Barber clarified that a release date has not been locked in at this point, a November opening makes sense. Creed did great business by opening over Thanksgiving weekend last year, so there's no reason not to claim that slot again for the sequel.
Unfortunately, a 2017 release date means Coogler is unlikely to direct. The filmmaker is currently in talks for Marvel's Black Panther, due out February 2018 — just a few months after the targeted Creed sequel release date. Stallone acknowledged the possibility of moving forward with a different director in an earlier interview. "I know Ryan is probably going to be gone for a couple years," he said. "So there will be a quandary on: Do we work with another director and have Ryan produce, or do we wait?" As Stallone pointed out, they can't wait forever: "There's a diminishing time acceptance of a sequel. Now they are cranking them out in a year."
While MGM hasn't officially announced a Creed sequel — Barber's comments above are as close as we've gotten — it's probably safe to assume the studio always hoped it'd get to make one. And Creed was a pretty great argument for restarting the franchise. Michael B. Jordan made for a compelling lead as Adonis, and his story hearkened back to the series' roots while also updating it for the modern day.
As for what a second film would entail, Stallone has teased that a sequel could go back in time. "Ryan has some ideas of going forward and backward and actually seeing Rocky and Apollo together. Think of The Godfather 2," he said. "That's what he was thinking of, which was kind of ambitious."

I seriously feel like I work 3 jobs right now…
Oh wait, that's right! I DO.
So I'm catching up on tons of web work, stuff for my assistant job, my music teaching company (my main focus right now) and trying very hard to have a social life in between, but finding it next to impossible, with everything that needs to get done "ASAP" from all sides. It seems like I finish 10 things on one "to do list" and then 10 more pop up on another. I'm not going to lie, I feel a bit thin spread right now….
I did get to hang out with this nice gentleman I've been seeing last night for a little while, which was nice, and he even was sweet enough to use his military medic expertise to take care of the blisters on my feet and was patient with me while I whined, complained, whimpered and cringed and tried to convince him that I should just "deal with them" on my own because it was going to hurt (and because I hate people touching my feet). In the end, I gave in and it didn't hurt at all.
So anyway, I'm pretty much back to walking normally but I have so much to do, I don't even think I'll be leaving my desk for the next few days unless it is to move my laundry from the washer to the dryer or to teach…augh. I certainly don't miss having my schedule be this packed.
Tax season is upon me, which means I'll be spending my upcoming weekend typing tons of accounting stuff into spreadsheets in the computer. Whee!

-Rache'll Brown
Sporting a girly style with a relaxed vibe, sophomore Calena Lawson values the combination of comfortable pieces and stylish details to create the perfect spring ensemble. This international studies major from Sandpoint, Idaho, finds fashion inspiration in people-watching, Lauren Conrad, and "excessive online shopping." With the seasons changing, Lawson offered some advice for students who may be struggling to come up with a new look for spring.
What is your ideal spring outfit?
My ideal spring outfit would be jeans, sandals, and a flowy top. If it's a nice day, I will usually try to wear a casual sundress.
What is your most worn item of clothing?
My go-to is always a cardigan and my Lululemon leggings.
Are there any upcoming trends that you love or hate?
I don't like the trend of people wearing non-prescription eyeglasses, but I love the current trends of spring colors, lace, and light fabric.
Where are you favorite places to shop?
I live in a small town, so I do most of my shopping online, usually at Nordstrom or Free People. But there are some really great local boutiques that I love.
What kind of outfits do you like for men?
I love a guy in dark wash jeans, solid colored tees, and Sperrys.
Any ideas for people who struggle to put an outfit together?
If you're struggling to put an outfit together look for inspiration online; Pinterest is always a good place to get cute outfit ideas.
Do you have any advice for transitioning from winter to spring?
For spring, go for lighter, brighter colors, and start choosing flats or sandals over boots.

Lakers hold off Nuggets, clinch playoff berth
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Coach Mike Brown wasn't on the Los Angeles Lakers' bench in a suit and tie. Kobe Bryant was.
Although that's an unlikely scenario for success, the Lakers still took an enormous step toward the postseason thanks to Matt Barnes' outside shooting and Andrew Bynum's inside persistence.
Bynum had 30 points and eight rebounds, Barnes added a season-high 24 points and 10 rebounds, and the Lakers clinched a playoff berth with a 103-97 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night.
Pau Gasol had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Pacific Division-leading Lakers (38-22), who have won three of four without Bryant while the NBA scoring leader rests his bruised shin. Los Angeles also played without Brown, who left Staples Center shortly before tipoff for undisclosed personal reasons.
"You can tell that these guys went out tonight and wanted to represent Mike Brown as best they could, and that's what they did," said assistant coach John Kuester, who didn't give any additional information about Brown's issues after running the team. "They have worked extremely hard, they care about one another, and it's also those types of feelings that are poured out on the floor."
With Bryant shouting instructions and counsel as a virtual assistant coach on the bench, the Lakers gave away another early lead and committed 23 turnovers, yet still took three of four from Denver to win the clubs' season series for the first time in three years. With six games left, Los Angeles is 1 1/2 games ahead of the Clippers for the division lead and the No. 3 playoff seed.
"With Kobe out, guys need to step up, but at the same time, not do too much," said Barnes, who matched his highest-scoring performance in two seasons with the Lakers. "We're so talented, but sometimes we're lazy. When we're lazy, we allow teams to do stuff that shouldn't normally happen. When we play hard, we're a hard team to beat."
Barnes scored six consecutive points after Denver trimmed Los Angeles' lead to one point, hitting a 3-pointer and adding a clutch jumper with 1:29 to play.
After Bynum grabbed 30 rebounds against San Antonio earlier in the week, he faced double- and triple-teams from the moment he touched the ball on most possessions. The All-Star center persevered for a 13-point third quarter in a mature effort from a mercurial player.
"It was big for us to get this third win (without Bryant)," Bynum said. "For our team, especially not having our leader, it was important to come together and get a win."
Andre Miller scored 20 points and Al Harrington added 18 for the Nuggets, who had won five of seven. Arron Afflalo also had 18 for Denver (32-27), which is even with Houston for the seventh playoff spot, one game ahead of ninth-place Phoenix with seven to play.
"We need to use these last seven games to build some momentum," Afflalo said. "We've got a tough little schedule ahead of us, and we're looking forward to it. ... (Barnes) had an exceptional game and hit some big shots down the stretch. That's probably my fault, and they deserved it."
Los Angeles led for all but the opening minutes, going up 87-75 with 9:25 left. Denver trimmed the lead to one point with a 15-4 run capped by Harrington's 3-pointer with 3:38 left, but Barnes hit a clutch 3-pointer and added a free throw and a jumper before throwing a phenomenal half-court alley-oop to Bynum in the final minute.
Denver coach George Karl disagreed with several foul calls in the fourth quarter, but praised the Nuggets' effort.
"We didn't have a lot of luck," Karl said. "But we kept fighting and fighting, and finally found five guys that figured out if you rebound it and go after Bynum, good things would happen."
Bryant is no longer wearing a protective boot. The fifth-leading scorer in NBA history is walking without pain, but must run and jump without pain before he'll return.
Bryant has built a career on playing through any amount of pain, but with the Lakers comfortably in the playoff picture, he apparently feels he can take a brief rest from the compacted regular season. Brown wouldn't speculate on how long Bryant will sit, saying they'll re-evaluate his injury before Sunday's game against the defending NBA champion Dallas Mavericks.
NOTES: The Lakers have missed the playoffs just five times in their 64 years of existence, just twice in 33 years under owner Jerry Buss. ... Wilson Chandler missed his seventh straight game for Denver with a strained left hip, while Rudy Fernandez is still sidelined with a strained lower back. ... Kuester also coached the Lakers in February while Brown served a one-game suspension. Kuester was the Detroit Pistons' head coach for the past two seasons before getting fired last summer. ... Barnes got a technical foul with 2:24 left for arguing a call, but Afflalo missed a free throw that would have cut the Lakers' lead to three points with the ball.

Metso provides mineral processing solutions to help mines and quarries improve safety and energy efficiency, while lowering costs per tonne and emissions
The Finland-headquartered company exhibited its technology at the recently-concluded MENA Mining Show 2015 which was held in Dubai from 6-7 October. To show the efficacy of its solutions, Metso used case studies to show the results gained for in-pit crushing and conveying, and minerals processing.
To help mines and quarries reduce costs and emissions as well as prevent traffic-related injuries, Metso offers a wide portfolio of in-pit crushing and conveying solutions ranging from stationary installations to fully mobile Lokotrack plants and Lokolink conveyors.
In a fully mobile in-pit crushing and conveying system, an excavator loads material directly into the hopper of a mobile crushing plant, instead of feeding a dump truck. Crushed rock is then transported to an in-pit belt conveyor via mobile conveyors, and onwards to the secondary plant, thereby completely removing the need for dump trucks.
Crushing and properly sorting the waste rock in the pit also enables its use as backfill and for other site infrastructure purposes. Preventing waste rock from entering the subsequent phases of the process, such as grinding, also has significant impacts on the profit per tonne.
Metso optimised the copper and molybdenum production for a client in Turkey. In a three-step process, pumps were changed to increase capacity of slurry throughput, the flotation cells were adapted to the new capacity, and the process was balanced out with VisioFroth, a system that measures parameters correlated to flotation cell performance. As a result, the client is now expecting a three to five per cent improvement in copper and molybdenum recovery.

A seriously thought provoking book by Ian McEwan. It's human nature to spend time thinking of the actions you took and the effect they've had on both you personally and others. The book follows a high court judge, Fiona who deals with high publicity children's cases regarding paternity rights, the right to life and surgeries. She struggles to cope with the effects of her decisions and the book explores the effect this causes. I had never considered the outlook of working in law and affecting someone else's life so much and how this would play on your mind.
Fiona is not the most common name, so it was odd whenever I read the name in the book!

A Collaboration between Nivetha Kannan and Swetha Kannan
I don't know what the heck is going on. Aliens coming to earth and demanding human sacrifices? On top of that each country agreeing to offer up their brightest? Well, It may not be too bad- we have a good life here and everything. I'm not complaining. We've been living on the moon for a couple months now and we have got the whole 'stranded with no hope' thing down to a science. But then some girl got pregnant. She insists that she's a virgin. None of us buy it but none of the guys are fessing up. Those liars. I mean one of them has to be lying...right?
What is it?
SPOOL is a collaboration between fellow artist (and my sister) Swetha Kannan and I. Using the familiar story of a group of trapped teenagers and friendly, cartoon assets, SPOOL allowed us to question and explore more difficult subjects of consent, unwanted pregnancy, and abortion.
SPOOL was worked on under the guidance of Paolo Pedercini as an independent study at Carnegie Mellon University. With music by Danny English and voice from Heather Cowie, we were able to pull together this game in a little over three months. We documented the progress of making the game from concept to finalization at the site linked below.

Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal

Publication Date: 5/25/2011
Citation: Funnell-Harris, D.L., Pedersen, J.F. 2011. Presence of Fusarium spp. in air and soil associated with sorghum fields. Plant Disease 95: 648-656.
Interpretive Summary: Sorghum grain, valuable for feed, food and bioenergy, can be colonized by several species of the seed mold fungus, Fusarium. The sources of spores of these fungi in Nebraska sorghum fields was determined. Soil and air samples within sorghum fields were sampled and assessed, which provided evidence that spores from these sources could contribute to Fusarium grain infections. Soil population estimates of Fusarium spp. indicated that adequate inoculum for systemic infections, that could lead to infected grain, was present. Fungal spores in air samples within two sorghum fields were collected by passive trapping throughout two growing seasons. Analysis of Fusarium isolates from passive spore traps indicated that spores from pathogens increased from flowering through maturity, which coincides with stages in which developing grain is vulnerable to Fusarium. All Fusarium species previously identified from grain produced in Nebraska were detected by air sampling.
Technical Abstract: Sorghum grain, valuable for feed, food and bioenergy, can be colonized by several Fusarium species; therefore, it was of interest to identify possible sources of conidia. Analysis of air and soil samples provided evidence for the presence of propagules from Fusarium genotypes that may cause grain infections. Soil population estimates of members of the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex that includes sorghum pathogens, and other Fusarium spp., suggested that adequate inoculum for systemic infections was present. Conidia in air samples within two sorghum fields were collected by passive trapping for two years. Sub-sampled Fusarium isolates indicated that numbers of G. fujikuroi increased from anthesis through maturity, which coincides with grain development stages vulnerable to Fusarium. Genotyping using translation elongation factor gene sequences revealed that spore trap isolates included members of G. fujikuroi that are sorghum pathogens: Fusarium thapsinum, Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium proliferatum, and Fusarium andiyazi. Also detected were Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium subglutinans and several Fusarium incarnatum-F. equiseti species complex haplotypes that colonize sorghum asymptomatically. All commonly-found grain colonizers were detected from air samples in this study.

Do you look at envy and others their sense of style? Reconsider your thinking. All it takes is the proper knowledge and motivation and you can achieve any look you are going for. This article contains advice to help you get that look you want.
Socks from crazysocks.org can make or break any outfit. Be sure the socks complement with your pants and shoes specially when you're on a formal getup. Your purse needs to match laptop case or briefcase if needed for the same occasion. Also, make sure you don't carry two different kinds of bags.
If your hair is normally frizzy, use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. These products help to shield the hair from outside moisture. Never buy a product which offers extra volume, of course! Anything with rice or wheat in the ingredients must be avoided.
A lot of people focus exclusively on clothes when they think of fashion. Lackluster hair can detract from the most beautiful outfit. That is what some don't realize. Invest in adequate hair care products, along with styling your hair properly so that it complements your style daily.
Pay no attention to the old adage stating that wearing white any later than Labor Day is a no-no. You can, and should, wear any color that you find appealing and flattering, no matter the season. If your best color is white, you should certainly wear white all year. People should not view you negatively as a result.
Be cautious when it comes to sizing. Never buy a piece of clothing without first trying it on. Sizes can be all over the place. It seems like each brand has different sizing. If you must buy clothing online, you should at least be sure to check the sizing chart. If you did not choose the right size, choose a service that allows you to return your purchase.
To achieve the look of fuller lips, begin by first using a lip pencil for lining and then smoothing the edges with a sponge applicator. Use petroleum jelly or a lip gloss product over the liner to seal it in place. You can put more gloss at the top of your lip to give yourself a pouty look. You can also bring out your lips by matching the color of your lipstick to the color of your eye shadow. Apply a small bit to the middle of each lip.
Know how to dress your body's worst and best attributes. Smaller people can wear items which are made from softer textiles and are tighter fitting. If you are top heavy or busty, choose clothing that takes the eyes away from those areas by wearing pants or an eye-catching skirt. And if you have a pear-shaped body, wear dark pants with lighter tops and compatible socks.
Mousse is a great way to volumize your hair, but be careful not to go overboard. Some people are trying to bring back the big hair of the 80's, but this is a mistake. It wasn't flattering then, and it's not flattering now.
While famous people always look good, you can, too. Taking time to learn fashion tips can help assure you always look good. Utilize some of the ideas here to improve your appearance, as well as your confidence.

In MindManager you can open attachments direcly from the map. In Connect the attachements cannot be opened riht away. The work arround is to save the map on your PC and open the attachements from there. It is somewhat cumbersome to do so. [from Anonymous]
this is interesting. What I think is happening here is that because Connect is web based it is not able to open files directly. It must first download then open.
That said, we can probably find a way to make this easier.

1) Script Title: Dynamic Ajax Content
2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...jaxcontent.htm
3) Describe problem: Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help?
I'm setting up a page for a client's site for which I've opted to use the DAC to load content about different products. The current demo can be seen at http://www.creativeph.co.uk/lazerbui...uct-search.php
Essentially the way the page is working is that there is a search facility in the header section incorporating 4 dropdowns to help the visitor narrow down their search results. These results are then listed within a scrolling panel below, then clicking on any of the resulting thumbnail images displays more information about the product in the 'main-inner-wrapper' DIV which is being used by the DAC. All of the product content is held within a MYSQL database so the 'product' page that is loaded into the DIV simply houses php placeholders, not hardcoded content. The script is working great when clicking between the thumbnails, but I'm having an issue with when the page first loads. I found the following code suggestion on another post...
ajaxpage('test.htm', 'contentarea')
... which works fine if your loading page is hardcoded, but as my content is database driven it simply loads the 'product' page with the php placeholders and not the content for the first thumbnail.
Does anyone know of a way to overcome this?
I also have the same problem if I try to refresh/reload the page. I found the following post/answer 'http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?70546-Dynamic-Ajax-Content-after-refresh' but it gave the same result as the above so I assume the answer to my first problem will resolve this as well.
Finally, is there a way I can apply a transition effect to the 'main-inner-wrapper' DIV when the content changes rather than the current abrupt change?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
Kind regards

Interpreting Services FAQ
Why do I need to hire an interpreter?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 mandates that a comprehensive variety of public and private services as well as employers must be accessible to all people, regardless of disability. When dealing with people who are Deaf, Deaf-blind, or hard of hearing, this means that communication must be accessible. The best way to ensure this is to have a professional Interpreter.
Isn't it expensive to provide interpreting services?
Interpreting services should be budgeted as part of your annual planning for accessibility services. It is true that, on a per-encounter basis, you may pay more for interpreting services than you generate in revenue for your company. However, if you consider the cost over the course of a year as an overhead cost of doing business, providing access is quite reasonable.
Who is required to pay for an interpreter?
The ADA states that all public and private agencies that provide services to the general public, and all employers with 15 or more employees, must be accessible. This means that, if your agency, service, or business is accessible to people without disabilities, it must be accessible to people with disabilities. Additionally, companies with 15 or more employees must follow fair hiring and employment practices when considering candidates with disabilities. Therefore, it is the agency, service, or business which is responsible for payment for interpreting services.
Why do I have to have two interpreters for my assignment?
Interpreting is a very taxing activity, both mentally and physically. Research has shown that an interpreter's ability to mentally process the message and interpret it accurately diminishes drastically after approximately 20 minutes of interpreting. Additionally, the rate of repetitive motion injuries among sign language interpreters is very high. Therefore, when an assignment is over 1-2 hours, two interpreters will be scheduled; they will spell each other approximately every 20 minutes, to ensure that the message is interpreted accurately for the full length of your assignment.
All of our interpreters adhere to a strict code of professional ethics:
Any additional ?'s
Please call the office, we would be happy to discuss any further questions/concerns.
Thank you for choosing Empire Interpreting Service™ to meet your communication needs.

Medical tourism
Most of us probably don't travel for our health — but generally speaking, it's a very good perk, especially for baby boomers.
Studies have shown that leisure travel can be good medicine.
There's straight-up wellness travel, of course, such as visiting a health spa to lose weight.
But travel in and of itself can also do the job.
Here's why:
- Travel helps reduce stress and promote relaxation by taking a break from routine.
- Travel usually results in greater physical activity, particularly walking. But you might also learn tai chi in China, practice yoga in India, or bicycle around Europe.
- Travel promotes brain health by challenging us with new and different experiences and environments. It can potentially help ward off dementia and Alzheimer's.
- Travel can also help ward off depression… Continue reading
OK, so you need a hip replacement — lots of baby boomers do. Or you need a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), another increasingly common surgery for the baby boom generation.
If you're an American, you could get them done in the U.S. and run up bills upwards of $80,000 for the bypass procedure or $30,000 for the hip replacement, and hope your insurance or Medicare foots the bulk of it (if you have insurance or Medicare).
Or you could travel abroad and get the same medical treatments for a fraction of the price — and maybe even have a vacation to boot.
According to the book Patients Without Borders — Everybody's Guide to Affordable, World-Class Healthcare, a CABG will cost you about $20,000 in Malaysia, while a hip replacement will run about $12,500.… Continue reading
Yes, we were once the hip generation — and we're still pretty hip, if you ask me — but now many of us baby boomers are in the market for hip replacements. Not to mention knee replacements, heart bypasses, various forms of cosmetic surgery, and a host of other major medical procedures.
Alas, it goes with the territory of getting a little older, a little wizened, but…still wanting to remain as active and vibrant as possible for as long as possible.
And that's where medical tourism comes in. In yesterday's post I talked about the growth of medical tourism — traveling to other countries to have surgeries and other medical procedures done at a small fraction of what they would cost in the United States. And, as a byproduct of that less… Continue reading
With the U.S. health care system all too much in the news right now, it's a good time to raise the issue of medical tourism: Americans — especially baby boomers — traveling to other countries to have surgeries and other medical procedures that cost a small fraction of what they do in the U.S.
And health permitting, many of these baby boomer medical tourists are taking the opportunity to see the sights of other countries as long as they're traveling there anyway.
The most popular countries for medical tourism include Singapore, Thailand, India, Mexico, Costa Rica, Jordan, Turkey and Brazil.
That's a pretty good bucket list of foreign destinations right there.
Need a knee transplant? See the unforgettable Taj Mahal in India and get a two-fer.
A heart bypass? You could leave your… Continue reading

Inside "La Catedral"
The last days I went mostly diving, as you might have guessed already. I have completed 13 dives now, most of them between 25 and 30 meters deep and lasting around 40 minutes. What is interesting is that I feel a kind of anxiety just before the descend. But it is easy to fight and once I'm underwater and breath regularly it is completely gone. The dive itself is just wonderful. I check my depth, my air and my timer regularly. I stay close to my buddy, and I have no care in the world. Just floating. Once I had trouble with my mask. It kept filling with water and I couldn't blow it out. I was about 27m deep and I couldn't read my instruments anymore with the mask full of water. I was afraid I would sink down, or even worse, go up rapidly. That was pretty scary, and I started to breath more quickly. The whole idea of diving felt like a pretty stupid thing to do suddenly.
Around La Catedral
My buddy was a little ahead of me, but Pietro, another diver, was right behind me. I signaled him that I had problems with my mask. He came to me, and I held on to his vest with one hand. That took care of my anxiety to go up (thanks Piedro!), and I could begin to check what was wrong. As it turned out my hood somehow interfered with my mask (I think it was a bubble of air that had caught in the hood) and when I took off the hood and put the mask back on without it I could clear the mask and everything was fine again. Now I'm diving without the hood .
Pietro from Milano. Now lives in Munich.
On the deeper dives, more than 30m, I also start to feel itchy when the decompression time limit approaches. Then I get a little nervous and want to ascend with time to spare. I guess that's just inexperience, because I don't have a good feeling yet for the ascend. And how the deco limit changes with the depth. And I really don't want to have to do decompression stops on the way up. It's not really rational, because the dive computer tells me how slowly I have to ascend, and it's easy to calculate how long the air will last. But well, better safe than sorry, right? So far I usually surfaced with 50 to 70 bars left in the bottle and more or less with the other teams. I think that's ok for my level of experience, and I don't want to start pushing it before I feel really confident and have more air left at the end of the dive. These will be the last diving movies for a while: And now for something completely different ... Gudrun V! Tomorrow I fly to La Graciosa again, where I will meet with Marti and his whole family on Gudrun V. They want to collect some personal things, and then we will get Gudrun V ready so that I can sail her to Las Palmas. I visited the harbor master today and managed to reserve a berth at the same pontoon that Vespina is - lucky again . I am really interested in how other people that bought boats feel towards their sellers. Either I am exceptionally lucky, or all boat sellers are the most wonderful people in the world. Ulrich and Anke, who sold me Vespina, are just fantastic and helped me a lot in preparing for the voyage. Even when I was well underway they always made time when I called with a question. Very kind and caring. Same with MartÃ: First he left his sailing school for three days so that I could survey Gudrun V thoroughly before buying. Three days and two nights on a boat - what more can you ask? And now the whole family is coming for almost a week to make sure that my first voyage on Gudrun V will be a success. Amazing! I guess I am exceptionally lucky. But then again it is said that "luck favors the prepared", so maybe it is not totally undeserved. Only a little Even though: it will be sad day when I leave Vespina and move to Gudrun V. There is nothing really wrong with Vespina, she is as fine a boat as they come. I feel Vespina was just the right boat for me at the time. Certainly I couldn't have handled a boat like Gudrun V alone in November, much less could I have sailed on the rivers with 2,50m draft. Truth be told, I will be hard pushed now to do everything right, and Gudrun V will not be as forgiving as Vespina. But that's how you improve - constantly and slowly pushing your limits ever outward. Never stop, never give up.
Another wreck. Lots around here.

Abstract and Keywords
The responsibility for hazard governance in Canada is indirectly determined by the division of subjects in the Constitution Act of 1867. This is because emergency management is not a distinct constitutional subject, and therefore it is a matter of assessing which subjects are most related to the practices of emergency management. As a result of this uncertainty both the provincial and federal governments have emergency management legislation. The various provincial legislation and the federal Emergencies Act of 1988 are primarily focused on providing for the use of extraordinary powers as part of crisis response. The federal Emergency Management Act 2008 does take a more comprehensive approach that includes hazard mitigation, but its reach only extends to federal departments.
The governance tools most applicable to hazard management, such as land-use planning and zoning, are normally found within the Provinces' planning or municipal legislation. The planning legislation empowers local authorities to manage development and its interaction with the natural environment. However, these powers are seldom directed towards hazard mitigation. If there is a reference to natural hazards in the planning legislation it is usually to specific risks, such as flooding or slope failure, that are spatially bounded risks to development.
This separation of hazard governance in the legislation is reflected in local government practices. In most provinces emergency managers are not required by their respective legislation to incorporate hazard mitigation into community emergency programs. The planning legislation, however, seldom extends the community planner's mandate for mitigation beyond the concerns for safe building sites and the separation of incompatible land uses. The responsibility to prevent human development from interacting with the extremes of the natural environment, or more succinctly "hazard governance," is not clearly assigned in Canada.

As I learned last night, my brother Frank finally got the chance to combine two of his greatest loves: trying cases and quoting old movie lines. He told me the trial he'd just concluded (which he proudly dubbed "The Ten Commandments") constituted the "pinnacle" of his long career with the Public Defenders' Office.
The criminal defendant he represented in the case was a nice Puerto Rican lady … of the evening, who'd been arrested on solicitation charges. Given his limited options, he decided to call the client's pimp as his key witness. Frank wanted the pimp to testify that he operated a legitimate escort service, not a prostitution ring.
The pimp was a dark-skinned Puerto Rican named Carlos Heston. As Frank delightedly learned, Mr. Heston preferred to be addressed by his lifelong nickname, "Moses." He'd acquired his moniker directly because of his love of the movie, "The Ten Commandments," and its similarly-named star, Charlton Heston. Even better, it turned out Moses Heston could quote most of the movie's dialogue verbatim, albeit in a heavily-accented English reminiscent of Al Pacino's character in "Scarface." Frank particularly enjoyed the man's butchering of Edward G. Robinson's line when Moses fails to return from Mt. Sinai in a timely manner, which the pimp enunciated as: "Where's chorr Moses now?"
Mr. Heston did not disappoint at trial – at least in terms of entertainment value. On direct examination, my brother addressed each question to "Moses," and Moses found a way to liberally sprinkle passages from the biblical movie into his testimony. Moses referred to the defendant consistently as "my people" and, when asked to describe how his escort business had come about, spoke of escaping a life of oppression in Puerto Rico and leading "my people" to the "promised land" of New Jersey. At the conclusion of his direct examination, he also delivered an unsolicited plea to "let my people go!"
Frank barely kept a straight face while questioning Moses. And he might've been the only person in the courtroom (with the noticeable exception of the defendant) who didn't crack up during the witness's testimony. The prosecutor himself couldn't help laughing, even while repeatedly objecting to Moses' unorthodox averments.
Perhaps best of all, when the prosecutor finished his cross-examination, Frank discovered that the judge not only had a sense of humor but must've been a "Ten Commandments" fan too, since he excused Moses with the words: "Farewell my one-time witness" (reminiscent of Ramses' parting remark when Moses was exiled from Egypt).
In all his years trying cases, Frank hadn't seen a more amused looking group of jurors. He said most of their faces sported ear-to-ear grins when they went off to deliberate. Ten minutes later some of them were still smiling, even as they returned their verdict … finding the defendant guilty as charged.
The other Moses

What inspired you to write this story?
I saw a status update on Facebook where an author had shared her way of creating Sci-Fi names. It really set my mind off, so I wrote Forever a Slave the next day. It was one of those books that just spilled onto the page.
Do you have any other Sci-Fi books available?
Yes, I have one called E2 in anthology called Brit Boys: On Boys, which is available now. I don't go too much into technical stuff in my Sci-Fi, because as a reader I find it clouds my head so I wanted to write Sci-Fi tales that are easy on the brain!
Do you have plans to write more Sci-Fi?
Now that I've written two and enjoyed them, I think I will write more. It's great to have another world where anything can happen and, as a writer, I'm not stifled by what could really happen or worrying about whether it's believable. I'm in charge of my planet/worlds, so whatever I say goes LOL.
What other new releases do you have?
I have a shifter book called Mane Attraction, which was written years ago. Sadly, the publisher closed, so for a few years the book has been sitting in a file. I decided to get it out and give it a polish, and it's great to have this story back out in the world.
What do you have planned next?
I have no idea! Maybe a shifter series, I'm not too sure. Or more Sci-Fi. It's addictive to write!
Ke'ja has been stolen from Earth and taken to the planet Mezdon. He's a sex slave, living in a hovel while his master, Vor'trev, lives next door in a modern house. This is the way of Mezdon, where every master has a slave and sex is considered something that can be done anywhere, anytime. Thrown by this reality, Ke'ja has to adapt—or find a way to return to Earth. The problem is, he's already falling for his master and is fighting his emotions. He wants to go home but at the same time doesn't want to leave the man who lights him up inside.
Vor'trev is not only a master but a judge, a man who has the power to return slaves to Earth if he feels they've been abducted unfairly. He's broken the law for his previous slaves and engineered it so that their return to Earth went unnoticed by other members of Mezdon authority. But Ke'ja… No, he can't bring himself to set the slave free. He's Vor'trev's, the only slave that has touched his heart, the only man he's wanted as a life partner. Letting him go isn't an option.
Two men, both wanting each other but unable to get past what they have to do to be together. Which one of them will break first?
Ke-ja sat on the mossy cliff top, naked as the day he'd been born except for a silver-colored ankle tag, and stared at the so-called sunset. The feelings of loss inside him were strong this evening—bloody awful, really, that gut-wrenching spasm he kept getting—and he wished his world was a different place. Somewhere like it used to be—mainly London, England, full of diversity and freedom.
Like Earth.
Here, on this Godforsaken planet, freedom was only a dream, something Earthlings no longer had the pleasure of. The planet, Mezdon, and the town of Gordah, was a nasty place, riddled with danger and fraught with terrified former Earth residents. Shit, how had he ever found himself here?
That was a damn easy question to answer, and one he didn't even have to ask himself, yet he did. Too many times to count. Got him moving his attention elsewhere, away from the horrors that met his eyes every time he left his—what could he call it?—hovel and went into town.
Life was a weird bastard, he'd known that on Earth, but Christ, how much weirder was it now? Too bloody weird. He told himself every time he stared at the horizon—a blood orange mass of stripes that merged into one another, stretching up into this odd, fuzzy lime green—that he'd get back to Earth someday. Wasn't likely, though. His 'master', a bloke who reckoned he owned Ke-ja and could do whatever he wanted with him, had said Earth wasn't an option.
'Once a body gets to Mezdon, there's no going back unless a judge helps you out.'
His master was a judge. Funny how he wouldn't help Ke'ja out. And the term 'a body'—that said it all, didn't it? Earthlings weren't people anymore when on Mezdon, they were commodities, something to be used.
Even my name isn't my own.
Master—Vor'trev as he was known to everyone else—had given him the name as soon as he'd been purchased.
Purchased. What kind of place allows that shit to go on?
A sick one, that was what.
"Fucking pissed off with this planet and everything on it."
Ke-ja tried to swallow down a lump of emotion. Seemed it didn't want to move, only wanted to get bigger, threatening to suffocate him. Might even be good if it did. At least he wouldn't have to live here anymore. And he was a liar—he wasn't sick of everything on Mezdon. Vor'trev didn't piss him off. That was the kicker. If he did, things would be a damned sight easier.
"Get a grip."
It wouldn't do for him to get maudlin. He got threats of being punished for his behavior, albeit lesser chastisement than other slaves received. Even the slightest downturn of his mouth in public meant he'd have to get a slap or, worse, fucked until he couldn't see straight. Yeah, fucked right out in the open for all to see. It didn't help that Vor'trev was a good-looking sort, the kind of man Ke'ja didn't mind being fucked by, the type he'd longed for on Earth but had never attracted.
Sod's bloody law I got my wish when I don't want it—in a place I don't want it.
He shook his head. Had to get his mind back to the setting he'd taught himself to accept—the one where it appeared he was a 'good boy', ready to do whatever he was told. The thing was, he didn't much like doing as he was told, but if it meant he was well treated while he figured out how to get onto the shuttle back to Earth, he'd act whatever way was expected so he didn't arouse suspicion.
Who was he kidding? Suspicion had already been aroused. Vor'trev wasn't stupid—he'd questioned Ke'ja many a time as to why he'd just accepted his fate. Said it wasn't normal and nothing like he'd experienced in the past with other slaves he'd bought.
'You're pretending,' he'd said.
Ke'ja hadn't answered, instead holing himself up in his hovel and avoiding Vor'trev for as long as he could.
The soft swoosh of someone walking on the moss caught Ke'ja's attention. Had to be Vor'trev, coming out to see what he was up to. Checking up on him. He'd probably gone to the hovel and found it empty. And there was no chance of Ke'ja going off somewhere without being discovered. His ankle tag saw to that. Logged his every move.
Need to find a way of getting that off too.
"Brawny bastard, you," Vor'trev said behind him.
Ke'ja didn't jump or shudder, not like he had when he'd first come here. He was used to being crept up on. Used to having his privacy violated. He closed his eyes, wishing that voice didn't wash over him the way it did, all deep, soft tones with a hint of sexiness. Just his luck to be bought by someone Ke'ja fancied.
"Naked suits you," Vor'trev said. "Clothes—especially the ones you turned up in—aren't for you. Made to be shown off, you are."
"Yeah, well, I'm not used to parading round with nothing on, so forgive me if I don't agree with you."
Ke'ja opened his eyes and waited for a slap, or for Vor'trev to grip him by the upper arms and haul him standing so he could give him a bollocking. Neither happened. It shouldn't have surprised him. Vor'trev had become softer as the months had gone on.
"Yes, I'll forgive you," Vor'trev said. "Although you should be punished for what you said. Can't seem to bring myself to do it much these days, even in public."
That was true. When in Vor'trev's home, or in the hovel, Vor'trev rarely lashed out. He fucked him, though—yeah, he did that all right—but punishment in other forms was getting rarer by the day.
Dangerous, that.
