What are warts and how do I get them?
Warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), of which there are over 100 types. They commonly occur on sites of trauma and are spread by direct contact or by autoinoculation (scratching a wart and transferring the viral particles to another area of your body). It can take 12 months from the time of the viral infection to the time the wart appears.
What kind of wart do I have?
There are several types of warts. The most common are as follows:
How can I get rid of my warts?
There are many treatment options available, but you must be patient. It generally takes multiple courses of treatment to fully eradicate warts. The following are the more common methods of getting rid of warts:

TrueCar Hires DW+H to Play CMO
Auto site brings agency in-house to lead marketing
TrueCar.com has hired Santa Monica ad agency Donat/Wald + Haque to handle marketing consulting and public relations for the car-hunting site, which has drawn fire lately from auto dealers over its unconventional pricing model.
In a relatively unusual client-agency relationship, the shop is overseeing TrueCar.com's marketing department, according to DW+H CEO Lucas Donat. Roughly seven of the agency's 40 staffers are working full-time on the brand, with another three heavily focused on the account. That includes spending at least 50 percent of their time at the client's nearby headquarters, Donat said. It also means TrueCar's own marketing department of about 10 reports to DW+H, he said.
The agency began assessing the brand's marketing department in December as an unpaid consultant. It was hired on a monthly retainer starting in January to develop the brand's marketing across media channels, said Donat, who described his shop as TrueCar's "chief marketing agency."
"There is no barrier between us and their marketing organization," he said.
TrueCar CEO Scott Painter acknowledged the relationship in a statement Tuesday. "DW+H has proven to be a true partner of TrueCar and has demonstrated innovative and creative thinking around our brand with a deep understanding of our customers and industry partners," he said. "We are inspired by Lucas [Donat] and his team and are excited to continue to work with them as we embark upon a transformative year in the marketplace."
Donat said the new role—which grew out of his longtime relationship with Painter—follows a string of chief marketing officer changes at the organization. Todd Daum held the position most recently, serving from June 2011 to this month, according to his LinkedIn page. "The position was impossible for one person to fulfill successfully," Donat said, noting the organization had to handle crisis management while developing its brand in a complex media landscape.
Among other responsibilities, DW+H will handle public relations. It's a sensitive area these days for the company, whose business model has sparked opposition from the auto industry after roiling the traditional way consumers and dealers come to terms on car prices. As The New York Times reported at length earlier this month, TrueCar provided an estimate of a car's true cost to dealers, then promised to deliver a guaranteed price from dealers, causing dealers to fear that less bargaining and lower profit margins would drive them out of business. Opposition last year led to pressure from state regulators, ultimately forcing TrueCar to tweak its approach, the Times reported.
Donat emphasized that TrueCar's marketing approach would focus on speaking to consumers and dealers on whom the brand's business model depends. "Dealers are an incredibly important part of the local business ecosystem, and we want to see them celebrated because we want the process to be something that's amazing for dealers and consumers alike," he said.
Donat said TrueCar was relatively new to television, having launched its first TV campaign in October 2011, before DW+H was on board. The agency's responsibilities won't necessarily include creating television ads or other creative executions. The shop is leaving the door open to working with other agencies and production partners (Donat declined to name which, saying discussions are still "nascent").
Donat declined to disclose how TrueCar will be paying DW+H but said the account will make up the revenue the agency is losing as a result of parting ways this week with eHarmony, a client of some 10 years. EHarmony spent $65.4 million across media in 2011, according to a Nielsen estimate (Nielsen numbers exclude online spending). While the online dating site went into review as early as November, it has yet to announce a new lead creative agency. "We haven't laid anybody off as a result of the eHarmony transition," said Donat. "We're hiring."

Keshavarzi Bank is one of the oldest and largest financial institutions of Iran, founded back in 1933 to service the agriculture industry as a specialist farming and industrial bank. Today, the Keshavarzi Bank, has grown to encompass close to 2,000 branches and over 16,000 employees - financing almost 70% of the Iranian agricultural sector. To support its never-ending growth, the bank has recently finished construction of a large-scale training campus for its managers and staff in Babolsar that borders the coastline of the Caspian Sea and spans more than 17 hectares in total.
With a concert hall, amphitheater, training rooms, restaurants and a mosque all housed within the campus and presenting their own distinct audio requirements, the company Samnejad Gostaran was brought in to design and implement audio solutions for the entire complex.
Owned by Hassan Zakeri Jazeh, Samnejad Gostaran was successful in securing the project thanks to its 35 years' experience designing and implementing solutions for hundreds of projects throughout the country, as well as previously working with the bank on several smaller projects.
With less than two months to install hundreds of loudspeakers, it was all hands-on deck for Mr. Zakeri's 26-strong team. the biggest part of this this project was a 1,500-seat auditorium used as both a concert hall for life concerts, as well as for hosting the bank's largest training conferences. In addition to new acoustic treatment of the walls and ceiling, the concert hall is now home to a main speaker system featuring two arrays of three FX3.15 3-way cabinets flown beneath an FX1.18 subwoofers, with a further four BASO15 subs lining the stage front. Additional audience coverage comes from distributed PX115MK2, PX110MK2 and LX503MK2 speakers, while power is achieved from SMQ350, SMQ500, SMQ750 and CAP424 quad-channel as well as SMA500 and SMA750 dual-channel amps installed in a rack at the FOH position.
For the 160-seat amphitheater, a smaller system of AUDAC AXIR and KYDO column speakers mounted to the surrounding walls is powered from SMQ350 and EPA152 amplifiers located in an adjoining control room. The manufacturer's BASO12 subwoofers have been deployed in the corner of the room next to the translation booths for low-end reinforcement, while an M2 audio matrix provides zoned control. Outside the Amphitheatre is a lobby area capable of seating 250 guests if extra space is required. Here, additional audio coverage is from wall-mounted LX523s active speakers distributed around the space.
A 100-seat VIP hall for international conferences is now home to eight ATEO6 wall speakers mounted to the perimeter walls, as is the complex' Islamic prayer area.
the mosque complex houses 10 classrooms that have each been equipped with LX523 active cabinets and video projectors for presentations and multimedia playback. Two 500-capacity restaurants have also been outfitted with WX802 universal wall cabinets throughout.
Tying the massive site together, a combination of AUDAC HS208TMK2 horn and WX302/O, WX502/O and WX802/O outdoor wall-mounted speakers have been deployed across 12 zones
in the outdoor areas, all administrative offices and the 350m coastline for music playback and paging functionality that can be controlled from DW5066 wall panels installed at three locations.
With the mammoth installation completed on time, Mr. Zakeri can now relax and enjoy the fruits of his team's labor.

This guy is very dishonest. He gets paid by OPT to advertise the LXD55 scopes on the LXD55 yahoo group. Take EVERYTHING he says with a huge grain of salt.
The reality is that the 10" is way too heavy for the mount, and that the mount is not very accurate at pointing, and lots of bolts and pieces break on it very quickly.
Save your $$ and get an LX-90 instead - it is one of the most trouble-free scopes Meade makes, and is very accurate and has very few problems. Plus, it is ten times easier to set up and tear down, and is much lighter than this 10" piece of CR#P.
Looks like the crappy quality of this product is going to bite Meade in the butt! Dealers are now refusing to carry this LEMON of a scope.
Check out...
You know it must be bad when a dealer posts something like this.
My personal experience with this telescope, LXD-55 10"was a disaster.
After a much anticipated delivery, the mount on the scope gave out
under the strain of the weight of the scope the first night. My
dealer was kind enough to replace the mount for me immediately, the
next outing, despite hours of trials (and I've had years of
experience with Autostar alignments on other scopes) the Goto was
completely inaccurate. The next night out, the ENTIRE OTA fell off
the mount due to a faulty bolt, Meade said they couldn't guarantee
replacement for months. The scope is made in China and obviously very
poorly, the parts are crudely machined and the gears in the mount
strain under the weight of the scope. After a jury-rigged mount
repair by my dealer, the next time out the mount again gave
outcompletely. I was only fortunate to have an amazingly
understanding dealer who refunded all my money and sent this lemon
back to Meade. Others may not be so lucky. Caveat Emptor! I have
since saved my money and purchased an LX200 10"GPS and it's a dream
>[webmaster note: vote moved from description of a duplicate entry]
>Been awhile since I've given an update on the LXD55 SN10. Skies have been lousy so I'll give you what I have experienced. The mount and scope are well exceeding my expectations. Lunar views with 12mm and 9mm ep's are absolutely incredible. Views of the ring nebula are outstanding. Doubles split easily with both eps's. Field of view is still breathtaking. In short, the optics on this scope with the UHTC package would be hard to beat for the money.
>The mount is working flawlessly to date. Only problem I have experienced is that I twisted off one of the tightening bolts on the legs - I called Meade on Monday and on Wednesday I had a new leg assembly on my doorstep - I call that outstanding customer service. I made a few mods to the leg assemblies and the mount seems to be rock solid with about a 2 sec settling time if I rap on the tube. Set up time from "decision to view" to finished polar alignment now takes about 5 - 7 minutes and gives excellent goto's with objects being almost dead center in the 12mm ep. Clear sharp edge to edge views with almost no coloration on edges of stars. Only slight coloration at the very very edge of the field. The screw adjustments for the optical tube axis alignment are a little trickey but no big deal. Once centered in the EP objects stay very well centered for over 45 minutes (longest I have tracked).
>I plan on internally flocking the tube within the next week of so - will let you know the results.
>All in all, I would give this combo a 9 out of 10. It looks impressive (I constantly have strangers standing in line with their cars double parked in my street) to get a glimpse. Operation and set up are easy. This scope seems to be an excellent value and real bargain. Weakest link is the tripod legs but these can be quicklly beefed up with a couple of hours work and around $20.00 in parts.
>I've taken several single shot ccd images of the sun with an inexpensive RCA CDS6300 which I bought from ebay for $150.00. I'm using an Orion Steady Pic camera mount ($34.95) with their 14mm Epic ED eyepiece and Intellivue Solar Filter (full apeture). Internal "grain of sunspots is clearly visible as well as temperature gradient rings surrounding the spots. Color is pure beautiful yellow orange (yes it looks like the sun should look) and clarity is fabulous. Some surface "grain" is clearly visible. As soon as skies allow, I am hoping to try it on the night sky.
>Everyone here that has seen the shots says they are great. As soon as my PC at home is up and running again, I will post for all to see.
Don't believe this guy - he works for Meade. He is well known on the LXD55 group (where everyone reports their problems with these scopes).
If you want the real scoop on the LXD55 10", go to the yahoo group. This guy is the only one who is happy with his.

Here, here. I wish someone had warned me. I lost an entire summer of viewing because of this lemon.
>After owning this scope for several months, I am reasonably unhappy with it.
>First of all, it is very poorly made. Many of the parts on it are made entirely out of plastic! The weak tripod legs can barely support the OTA - they flex alot when you put it on the mount. When you are focusing, the image shakes horribly due to all the flexing and slop in the mount.
>Even though I have carefully balanced the scope, the weight puts alot of strain on the motors - you can actually see them shift when you start slewing. I bet they will not last long under this strain. It seems like this mount was not designed for this heavy of a payload. Maybe the 6" version does a bit better. The motors themselves do not mesh well - I actually had to re-mount them to get them working correctly!
>The goto is the biggest joke of all! I have owned 2 ETX's and a LX-90, so I am fairly used to Autostar. After careful setup and polar alignment, I have never had good goto's with this thing. I think alot of this has to do with the poor machining of the mount. It doesn't even have bearings - instead it relies on friction and grease. It also has alot of slop in it - too much for the autostar to accurately correct for, even though it tries to do so. Although if you look carefully in Meade's ads, they admit to the poor pointing accuracy of this mount - they list it at 15 arcmins accuracy. My mount also had burrs on it, creating 'high' spots as it rotated on the axis. Keep in mind that this scope mount is MADE IN CHINA - not made in the US like other Meade scopes. Consequently, the quality is not anywhere near the other meade scopes.
>The optics ARE good, however. Although for the price I paid, I could have had a REALLY nice OTA from another manufacturer.
>If you are planning on getting this scope because you cannot afford the better ones, DON'T! DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK! You will spend endless hours of frustration trying to get it to work. You will spend even more hours on the user groups just to try to figure out how to fix it (if you don't believe me, check out the groups! All the owners are constantly working on these things just to get them to work like a normal goto telescope!). Save your money and get something better. Fortunately, I was able to sell mine last week while the market is still hot. GOOD RIDDANCE!

Yeah, great value when you have to modify a new scope just to keep the OTA from falling off! I remember when the Yugo was a 'great value - for the money'. Just keep telling yourself how great a value it is as you watch it fall apart over the next year.

The beauty of wood has always fascinated me and my journey with this medium has brought me from sail boats to band sawn jewellery boxes; from finely finished turned bowls with gorgeous grain to intricately decorated items. In some the beautiful grain patterns say it all, in others I may use texturing, colours, piercing and/or pyrography to create different effects. Commissions welcome.

Kiln fired glass - jewellery, pictures, candle covers, birds & more.
I work with kiln fired glass. I work with fusing art glass into layered and textured pictures and jewellery. I draw inspiration from the garden, seasons and wildlife.
I also enjoy traditional stained glass. I make a series of birds as well as pictures. Again this is permanently fired into the glass.
Light in the environment brings glass to life; casting coloured shadows, reflecting sparkle and showing depth of colour or the transparency.

Hand - printed linen created into textiles for the home.
I produce a contemporary and striking range of hand-printed linen, from original drawings of images and silhouettes from our countryside and gardens.
From my drawings I make designs which I screen-print onto linen, using environmentally friendly inks. When the printing is complete, each piece is heat cured, and hemmed. I also run workshops that demonstrate how with a few simple and inexpensive items, beautifully printed fabrics can be produced!

Old books turned into physical pieces of art.
Understanding that a book is an object in its own right as well as the holder of ideas, I rescue unwanted second hand books and transform them into pictures or sculptures by individually folding or cutting each page so creating a new art form. The books can then be displayed once again rather than being forgotten about once read. They say a picture is worth a thousand words or in my work, several hundred pages.

10 February 2012
By Kari Williamson
The figures show that the wind power sector failed to meet the Government's goal of reaching just over 22 GW in 2011, the Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE) says.
Royal Decree-law 1/2012 on the one hand, guarantees the current economic basis for installed wind power and pre-registered farms and, on the other, suspends the incentives to facilities that are not registered in the Pre-allocation Register.
The lack of policy certainty is making the wind industry uneasy and the lack of orders for wind turbines has already led to major restructuring, and the AEE warns that the relocation of manufacturers to other countries is likely.
According to the main manufacturers, currently less than 10% of the wind turbine production carried out in Spain is for domestic orders. The 1050 MW installed in Spain in 2011 are from orders for wind turbines made in previous years.
The AEE believes it urgent to design an economic system which will allow the continued development of the Spanish wind sector, taking into account the overall financial problems in Spain.
New regulations should take into account the high degree of maturity and competitiveness of wind power, whose impact on the rate deficit was zero in 2011, and which represents 0.28% of the Spanish GDP and exports more than €2 billion a year.
2012 is the final year of the Pre-allocation Register, in which a total of 1903 MW of wind power is registered and pending commissioning. Of this, 970 MW is undergoing construction problems for reasons not attributable to the promoters –such as delay in the planning of the transport network and distribution lines, and administrative difficulties- or lack of economic viability. These projects account for half of the wind power registered and to be installed this year.
In addition, AEE considers it necessary for the Ministry to maintain the quota of 600 MW for wind farms in the Canaries established in Royal Decree 1614/2010.

FOR the last three months, Jeff Ochieng has not been at peace and now wants to know if there is any chance that Dr. Kizza Besigye is his dad
By Patrick Vidija in Nairobi
For the last three months, Jeff Ochieng has not been at peace. He has been wondering who his father is and now wants to know if there is any chance that opposition politician Dr. Kizza Besigye is his dad.
Ochieng, a 22-year-old photojournalist attached to Standard Media Group, has never met his father and never got the chance to ask his mother who fathered him as she died close to 10 years ago.
After the death of his mother, his uncle, Julius Ombajo, who is an IT expert, took up the responsibility of raising him.
"I loved my mother Elisha Adhiambo so much but unfortunately God did not allow her to live. Probably she could have answered all my questions," Ochieng said in an interview last evening.
He added that his mother worked at the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), although he does not know in what capacity.
A resident of Umoja Estate in Nairobi, Ochieng went to Umoja 1 Primary School. Eight years later, he joined Maina Wanjigi Secondary School in Eastleigh before going to college to study photojournalism. His job at the Standard newspaper is his first.
Besigye says many people look like him but that does not mean he fathered them. PHOTO/Patrick Vidija
It is at the Standard that he received an assignment that would cause him to start to really question his identity.
He recalled: "I was sent to Kampala on assignment. Aboard the Kampala-bound bus, many people quizzed me on whether I knew Besigye or I if had a close connection with him. What shocked me the most was when we visited a local market and everyone ran to greet me chanting, 'Besigye, Besigye.'
"They were speaking in Luganda so I could only pick out the name Besigye from what they were saying," said Ochieng last evening, hours after he sent an email to New Vision about his dilemma.
He said when he was in school, his classmates called him by the same name and since he shared his Uganda experience his Standard workmates have taken to addressing him as Besigye.
"We recently got new staff members from Uganda and immediately they too told me I resembled Dr. Besigye," said Ochieng.
"People rarely call me by my real name. I am getting so used to being called Besigye that when you call me Jeff or Ochieng, it takes me a while to realise that you are referring to me."
WRONG FINGER: Besigye says he would be glad to meet Ochieng. PHOTO/Patrick Vidija
Besigye joined the National Resistance Army after leaving a medical job at the Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi
Ochieng plans to travel to Kampala later this month in the hope of meeting Besigye.
"I am not implying that he is my father, but the aim of my journey is to get his story and find out whether there is a link somewhere. My efforts to find out from relatives who my true father is have been fruitless. Maybe my trip can give me some clues.
"I hope I can meet Besigye to clear my anxiety. If he is my father I will be grateful to have found one; if not, I will still be grateful to have met a good buddy that I look like," said Ochieng.
Ochieng's email to the New Vision
I am Jeff Ochieng, a Kenyan photojournalist for Kenya's oldest newspaper.
I am 22 years old and over the past 9 years, I have been persistently bombarded with the question if I am Besigye's son. I don't know the truth whether I am his son or not and I am not in a position to answer because I don't know my father. I have been told we have a striking resemblance and the name Besigye has become my second name.
I have taken the liberty to visit Uganda and try to meet Mr. Kizza Besigye and ask if we are related. I will be visiting Kampala from August 22 and I would gladly offer any interviews if your publication is interested.
I am not saying that I am Besigye's son, but I am just curious to know why we look alike. I hope I can meet him; maybe he has an explanation as to why I look like him.
Besigye's response
In a telephone interview with New Vision's David Lumu, Dr. Besigye said: "I have never fathered anyone in Nairobi. There are many people who resemble me, but that does not necessarily mean I fathered them. I saw something like that (Ochieng's photo) on the Internet and indeed the man resembles me. But that cannot make him my son."
On Ochieng's planned visit, Besigye said: "He can visit me, but he can be rest assured that he is not my son. Twenty-two years ago I was in the military here; I could not have fathered anyone in Nairobi. I will be out of the country for some time but if he comes a week after August 22, I will be glad to meet him."
Is Besigye look-alike his son?

Joy of Tax
There used to be a tradition around this time of year where broadsheet newspapers would ask politicians what books they were taking on holiday as their summer reading. Some went for populist options to show they were 'in touch' with the electorate. Others chose heavyweight tomes by Proust, Ayn Rand, Thomas Piketty, or similar, to flaunt either their intellectual or ideological inclinations! Frankly, I doubt that any of their selections got read. Both Piketty's 'Capital in the Twenty-First Century' at 696 pages, and Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' at over 1100 pages are frankly too heavy to be supported whilst lying prone in a deck chair. And Proust's 'À la Recherche du Temps Perdu' at over 3,000 pages would give you a pretty hefty blow to the head if you fell asleep whilst holding it aloft! However, I've found a book that all politicians should put on their summer reading list. Its light, at just 300 pages including notes. It's a paperback, so shouldn't cause injury. And its message doesn't require any interpretation. First published in 2015, The Joy of Tax by Richard Murphy, isn't on any best seller lists any more, nor is it bang up to date. However, I reckon it should be required reading for politicians of either stripe. Not that they will of course, because dogma does not permit such forays into joined-up thinking. But, even if you don't subscribe to the author's ultimate prescription for the ideal tax system, this little book is the perfect primer for the understanding of tax. Not only does Murphy remind us of the history of taxation and what exactly tax is, but swiftly deals with the naysayers who seek to undermine it for their own purposes. He also demolishes some of the canards that have become the backbone of much debate around the subject.
Laissez-fair capitalists my rend their clothes and tear out their hair at the notion, but tax can also have a social purpose. Murphy reminds us of the pillars on which an equitable tax system should be built and the fundamental ideas that can help fashion it. A 'must read' for ALL aspiring politicians!Murphy was appointed Professor of Practice in International Political Economy in the Department of International Politics at City University London in 2015, as a part-time appointment involving research and teaching. Previously he had been a visiting fellow at University of Portsmouth Business School, the Centre for Global Political Economy at the University of Sussex, and at the Tax Research Institute at the University of Nottingham. He was the founder of, and remains on the Board of Directors of, the Fair Tax Mark. www.penguin.co.uk ISBN 978-0-552-17161-8

Scientists stumble on 23 imaginative familial variants that wax hazard representing endocrine crab
In an breakdown of sequence message mid in excess of 87,000 men, a 1 line-up of scientists says it has inaugurate 23 original genic variants – prosaic differences in the familial rules — that expand a male's jeopardy representing prostatic person. The styled "meta-analysis," believed to be the prime of its friendly, has revealed formerly veiled mutations surrounded by men in a spacious stand of traditional associations comprising men of Dweller, Person, Asian and Latino line.
The meta-analysis compounded word from less significant studies, according to William B. Isaacs, Ph.D., a heritable someone at the Lensman Urological Society at the Artist Thespian Academic world High school of Medicament. "In attendance is a cognition in in sequence that helped us encounter novel variants that were one hinted at in small burn the midnight oil populations, unusually centre of nonage men, and as we establish the unaltered variants transversely various populations, the basis became stronger that they were definitively united to prostatic somebody," Isaacs believed.
To relieve base the digit of samples as a service to the coeval swot, described on-line Folk. 14 in Make-up Biology, Isaacs and Alan Partin, M.D., Ph.D., Financier Urological Society official, contributed ancestry and series samples and information from 800 African-American men (400 with prostatic soul and 400 cancer-free) fumed at Artist Poet to the cram. Altogether, the samples included knowledge on 43,303 endocrine someone patients and 43,737 men with no endocrine someone.
Scientists at the Society of Soul Enquiry and Imperial Marsden Nationalist Healthfulness Services Base Assurance in Author, UK, and the Academe of Gray Calif. diode the breakdown, which scanned surplus 10 zillion areas of the genome where individual transmissible unit of Polymer was switched in support of other, referred to as genic variants, or many specifically, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
The pair in that case compared the scanned genome regions of endocrine someone patients with endocrine cancer-free men to stumble on the 23 unique SNPs they minute connector to prostatic somebody. Accompanied by 76 before disclosed SNPs, the variants record in favour of tierce of the hereditary jeopardy in favour of endocrine cancers in men of Denizen slope. Over the variants are transmissible normally centre of populations, they container manifest in men with slight or no relations retelling of endocrine sign.
"Inheriting whatever unattached solitary of these inherited variants has exclusively a petite result of endocrine soul danger," says Partin. "Nevertheless, a subset of men purposefulness come into varied of these variants, situate them at at heart swell danger on the condition, from triad to sixfold the folk ordinarily. Men with these imperil levels may perhaps good from illness transmission at early ages."
Isaacs says that men with a kinsfolk representation of prostatic somebody are already pleased to be screened at an before discretion, "but relatives representation hawthorn be laborious to locate."
He suggests that the labelling of endocrine cancer-related SNPS could wait on as a "molecular kinsfolk retelling" to permit safer cover guidelines and therapies.
Isaacs says each 23 SNPs were settled in non-protein coding regions of Polymer – transmitted matter that is not a draught on the side of a unequivocal accelerator consequence – suggesting that the SNPs possibly will be vital in malleable genes degree than fashioning proteins. Few of the not long identified SNPs acquire antiquated once fixed to somebody.

this second collection, the sun and her flowers, has been too hastily wrapped.
the canadian 25 year old still manages to make many of her turns of phrase bloom. her words still depict bodies, inside and out, as susceptible to emotions as if pain or lust were physical elements. skin is floral, easily ripped or torn. the mind is shaken in a storm, sometimes a weed and sometimes a healthy root. there are still so many moments of beauty, of rawness, of vulnerability. the words seem to flow out of her. she makes it look so easy.
but that's where kaur stumbles. this second collection is too easy. it has neither the grace nor the thorniness of milk and honey.
much like her first collection, the sun and her flowers is divided into sections, here taking the shape of a flower's life: wilting, falling, rooting, rising, blooming. kaur explored most of the themes in similar ways throughout milk and honey, and many of the new poems could be interchanged with the first collection. love, sexual assault, family, femininity, strength. all worthy, but many here dealt with too heavy-handedly. frequently, kaur leans so heavily on cliche that she topples into it.
in part, the fault here lies with the visual layout. the illustrations, which are no doubt beautiful, feel so lazy. in the first, some poems hid inside illustrations, the pen curving round the printed word. there, the drawings embellished the meaning of the poems, extending metaphors or adding a nudge of understanding. in the sun and her flowers, the illustrations directly repeat the image of the poem. a poem about a unibrow will be underscored by a subtitle that says "unibrow", above a drawing of a unibrow. we get it. many of her illustrations in the sun and her flowers are also an "ode to", rather than holding a unique voice.
all of this feels like watching a bad actor, when the pace at which they walk dictates the rhythm of their speech. i want her to run while she sings us a lullaby. her first collection proves she can. this second lets her down.
one of the most significant steps away from her first collection is the section rooting. many of these poems draw both on the world's compassion fatigue at refugees flooding the news, and her own ancestry. she writes about female infanticide, about racism today and about her mother with a delicacy that necessitates the blank space around her words, in order to let them settle on your lips.
and then she leaps. back to the rom-com tropes. it feels naive, no worse than that, it feels immature to combine the overbearing hunger of a refugee and then the wholeness of her being in love. her writing doesn't yet have the strength for them to all coherently fit together. the vastness of the topics she tries to cover swallows up their logical connection.
this week has proven that women need a support network and a space to speak out about injustice. and rupi kaur has opened up poetry to so many young women, being brave enough to talk about tough topics. so she deserves more space, more room to breathe, more platforms to speak upon. her work is tangible, and bold. yes, it's cliched, and yes, the lack of full stops sometimes feels more effortful than just giving into autocorrected capitalisation, but my copy of the book is still dog-eared and underlined. there is something about the cliches that are unavoidably attractive. i just can't shake the feeling that for everything kaur tries to tackle in this collection, the result disappoints.

Sarah Palin is till talking about impeachment. Please make her stop. Impeachment proceedings won't stop Obama's lawlessness, since he will not be impeached given the makeup of Congress.
The Democrats are raising money on the threat of impeachment. They are praying that the Republicans go forward with impeachment. It's just what the Democrats need to boost their base and boost donations:
"The Democrats' congressional campaign arm pulled in $2.1 million in online donations over the weekend — the best four-day haul of the current election cycle — largely propelled by fundraising pitches tied to speculation that House Republicans could pursue the impeachment of President Obama.
"Democrats have consistently used impeachment — a prospect that has been floated by several prominent conservatives but has not been embraced by most of the Republican establishment — to fill their campaign coffers, and their polling has shown that fear of an impeachment attempt as well as the House GOP's efforts to sue Obama have the potential to drive midterm voter turnout on the left."
In fact, they Dems want it so much that they are the ones talking about it more than the Republicans. They believe an attempt to impeach their beloved leader will be a winner for them in November.
Politico reports:
"Something very strange is happening on Capitol Hill. Democrats can't talk enough about impeaching a president of their own party. And Republicans keep saying that there isn't a chance they'll give it a try."
I agree with Rush Limbaugh that Obama is trying "'very hard' to coax Republicans into impeaching him. . . . It's so obvious, he's not fooling anybody."

What's the function of the K2CA-D Over Current Relay operation lock button?Last Updated: September 20, 2018
When the operation lock button is pressed, the input to the relay level detection circuit is forced to zero (0) and the time counter for time-limit operations is reset. (Instantaneous elements are not locked.) Use this function for the following purposes.
- To prevent the time-limit element from operating in advance while measuring the instantaneous operation current.
- When measuring the operating time for the time-limit element with a stop watch or similar instrument. Apply the desired overcurrent with the operation lock button pressed, then start the counter (stop watch) at the point where you release the operation lock, and stop the counter (stop watch) when the indication appears.
Note:Perform the measurement quickly. If an overcurrent is continuously applied for an extended period of time with the operation lock button pressed, the current transformer (CT) may be damaged from burning.

Outside the rain's lashing down, the wind's blowing a gale and the temperature is well below freezing. So you turn on the TV to be greeted with sunny skies, sandy beaches, palm trees and colourful streets (plus a dead body, but we'll skate over that bit). On air during the worst of the British winter, it's no wonder the BBC TV series Death in Paradise has become so popular, with its tenth series commissioned for 2021. Yep this series about a slightly bumbling British detective solving murders on a Caribbean island might be a bit formulaic and you do have to wonder how many people can possibly be knocked off on one tiny island. But when it's cold and grey outside, the show is like a dose of virtual sunshine beaming into your living room.
Read more: A guide to Guadeloupe: Where France meets the Caribbean
Where is Death in Paradise filmed?
The series is set on the Caribbean island of Saint-Marie, which supposedly lies just off the coast of Guadeloupe. But you'll have trouble tracking it down on any map. Saint-Marie island is just a figment of the writers' imagination, but those gorgeous locations you see on screen do exist, and in reality most of them are found on Guadeloupe's Basse-Terre island.
Death in Paradise is what first introduced me to Guadeloupe, so I couldn't resist tracking down some of its filming locations when I visited the island. Would everything be as picture-perfect as it looks on screen or is there any TV trickery? And would we make it out alive?
Where are the Death in Paradise locations?
On the north-west coast of Basse-Terre, Deshaies is the epicentre of all things Death in Paradise in Guadeloupe. It features in the show as Honoré, the capital of Saint-Marie, and is also where the cast and crew are based when they film in Guadeloupe for six months each year.
Deshaies is the pretty town you see in the aerial shots, with a red-roofed church and colourful buildings set around a semicircular bay of boats and surrounded by jungle-covered hills. In real life, it's a fairly sleepy fishing port with a waterfront row of bars and restaurants that are a favourite stop for yachties sailing around the Caribbean – and definitely not a hotbed of crime.
One thing I discovered when I started looking at Death in Paradise's locations is just how many of them are in and around Deshaies. As well as the main filming sites, it also crops up as the harbour where people arrive or leave the island, it's in a lot of background street scenes, and practically every swanky rental villa in the area has had at least one murder in it.
The location team have done a clever job in making a small stretch of coast look like a whole island of different locations. Which is good news if you want to explore it yourself – their concentration around Deshaies makes it easy to do a DIY Death in Paradise location tour. Or if you're short on time or don't have a car, there's a guided tour for groups of four or more.
Honoré police station
The first stop had to be the show's most important location – Honoré's police station. It's right next to Deshaies church in the centre of town, so it's really easy to find. In real life the police incident room is Deshaies' priest's office, and the church hall next door is used for the cells.
It was closed up and deserted when we visited so no chance of having a peek inside, but other than the Honoré police sign being missing, it looked just like it does on screen – right down to the chickens pecking around outside. Out front there's a car park which is where they park the police jeeps, and it's also been used for a street market in a few episodes.
One thing you don't see on screen though is a cemetery – and they'd clearly need one with that murder rate (though a disproportionate number of victims are Brits, so maybe they're all sent home?). There's actually a big cemetery on a hill on the edge of Deshaies but it's usually excluded from the filming, though you can sometimes spot it slightly out of focus in the background.
Catherine's bar(s)
Another series regular location is Catherine's bar (owned by Catherine Bordey – mayor of Saint-Marie island and mother of original detective Camille Borday). It's pretty much compulsory for each episode feature at least one drinking session in the bar, either mid-case when there's a tricky problem to solve or to celebrate solving the murder (no one ever gets away with it!).
We found the beachside terrace used in the show (shown in the photo at the top of the post) at the northern end of the bay, just outside a restaurant called Le Madras. Le Madras was closed for the day so we didn't get to have our beachside beer or to take a look inside, but I did find a very tasty pina colada at another Deshaies bar with a Death in Paradise connection.
In the first series, a different, bigger bar was used as Catherine's bar. This one is called La Kaz and is just south along the waterfront from Le Madras. Apparently filming there used to block the street and hold up traffic so they had to move, but there are few photos hanging on the walls which show scenes from the show back when they used to film in there.
The beach hut
If there was one location in Death in Paradise that sold me on visiting Guadeloupe, it has to be the beach where the detective lives in a perfectly rustic beach hut right on the sand. This picture-perfect spot is found at Anse de la Perle beach, three miles north of Deshaies.
In reality there are a few bars at one end of the beach and a little road behind the sand so it's not quite as remote as it looks on TV, but it's still every bit as gorgeous. The actual beach hut gets dismantled between filming because a lot of the sand on the beach gets washed away in winter storms. But you can still see the concrete foundations down one end of the beach.
One thing I spotted too after watching the show again is how many times this beach is used for other scenes. There are a couple of islands off-shore – a fairly big one (called Kahouanne, which was used as a private island in an episode from the third series) and a tiny one. Once you know they're there, you can spot them in the background in loads of beach scenes which supposedly take place in different locations around the island!
The Botanic Gardens
About a mile south of town, Deshaies Botanic Gardens are a colourful riot of tropical flowers, flamingos and parrots – and as you probably guessed there's been a murder in there too. And it's not just any old murder either – this is where the show's first detective Richard Poole (played by Ben Miller) came to a sticky end with an ice pick in the first episode of series three.
Filming was done in a private villa inside the gardens, with its own swimming pool and amazing views along the coast from the terrace. You can see the villa from the gardens but if you want to get any closer than that you'll have to hire it out – it sleeps 10 and costs €2000 a week.
The zoo
Saint Marie Zoo was new location for series eight, where a zookeeper was murdered with a tranquiliser gun. In real life it's the Zoo de Guadeloupe au Parc des Mamelles, which is 30 minutes down the coast from Deshaies. The zoo is home to around 85 different species from the Caribbean and Guyana, from big cats to tiny reptiles, spread across four acres of jungle.
One of the best parts of the zoo is its treetop walkway, which is also featured in the show. A network of wobbly narrow wood and rope bridges runs 50 feet above the ground. You're high up among the thick green tree canopy with great views down to the animal enclosures.
The hotel
From the far end of Anse de la Perle beach, you can see this big white building in the next bay that looks a bit like a pile of sugar cubes. This is the Langley Fort Royal hotel, where most of the cast and crew stay during filming, either in the main hotel or the cute little pointed-roofed bungalows. You don't need to stay there to have a drink in the bar and a nose around though.
In another bit of inspired recycling, the hotel, bar and the beach in front have appeared in lots of different episodes – including one where a bride was shot with a speargun and fell from a hotel balcony in series one and as where TV presented drowned on the beach in series eight.
With Death in Paradise being so popular – especially in the UK, but it's also shown in the US, Canada and Australia – I was surprised how little was made of it in Guadeloupe. We spotted a couple of other people taking photos of the police station in Deshaies, but most visitors to Guadeloupe are French and have probably never heard of the show. So there's no real tourism around it – no big groups, no tour buses, no signs or tacky souvenirs – which makes it feel even more like you're discovering the real-life Saint-Marie island, and living to tell the tale.

The Napa Valley brings to mind images of mud baths, pricey brunches and lots of wine.
Head northeast to Lake Berryessa, however, and you cross from wine country into beer country, where the recreation is less fanciful—fishing, boating, camping. But middle-class recreation has been undermined here since 2006, when more than 1,000 mobile vacation homes were evicted.
Now, U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, a Democrat who represents Napa Valley and the Berryessa area, has a bill that would shift management of the lake from the Bureau of Reclamation to the Bureau of Land Management.
"The congressman feels that the BLM is the best agency to manage recreational activities at the lake," says spokesman Austin Vevurka.
Thompson has also reintroduced a bill that would encompass the lake in a National Conservation Area (NCA) extending northward to the Berryessa Snow Mountain region. The move would end a multi-jurisdictional jumble and create a single overseer for the region, which would extend from the lake to the southern end of Mendocino National Forest.
Thompson's office has also signaled a willingness to consider national monument status for the roughly 400,000-acre proposed reserve if his NCA bill fails again.
"I don't know if this would happen or not," says Vevurka, "but there is an executive path—there's a way for the [Obama] administration to declare it a national monument."
That designation would provide the same protections as the NCA designation—mining would be banned, for example—without a congressional vote. President Barack Obama used powers under the Antiquities Act earlier this year to create the Point Arena-Stornetta National Monument in coastal Mendocino.
The Napa Valley tourist economy sings a song of viticultural bliss, thanks in part to Thompson. According to the Center for Public Integrity, he is the House's second largest recipient of funds from the beer and wine lobby.
Thompson took $83,462 in 2013–14 from the lobby, and is sandwiched between House Speaker John Boehner in the top spot and outgoing Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the three-hole.
Thompson, a fiscal conservative Blue Dog, has negotiated pro-business tourism and anti-development environmental concerns as he's massaged his bills to win over the locals.
He's been good to the wine people over the years, but the Berryessa constituency is leery.
In 2006, residents watched as the feds shattered the backbone of the area's economic driver here when it removed about 1,300 mobile vacation homes from around the lake.
"It's a ghost lake," says Peter Kilkus via email.
Kilkus is a resident who advocates for the lake's potential and wants to restore it to its former glory, he says. He opposes the NCA move, saying it's "unnecessary."
Tuleyome, a regional conservation group, has been pushing to create the Berryessa NCA.
Senior policy director Bob Schneider says NCA designation is a win-win for the environment and tourists, noting that a NCA designation for the Rio Grande del Norte in New Mexico saw a big spike in tourism.
But Schneider acknowledges that enhanced tourism under a BLM-managed conservation area may come with a "potential threat": more tourists, more environmental stress.
Still, he notes that tourism at the lake wouldn't return to its previous scale. The mobile homes aren't coming back.
Schneider says BLM is best suited to manage the "impacts of new tourism opportunities" and says new campgrounds would provide four-season activities in an area that he says is primarily a summer boating-season retreat.
Thompson, he says, assured locals that motorboats could remain on the lake, and private-property owners would be outside the NCA boundaries. "This proposal also provides economic opportunities for towns in and around the lake," says Schneider.
Thompson's office stresses that the congressman isn't going to ban motorboats. "Neither one of the bills would have an impact on that whatsoever," says Vevurka.
Yet Kilkus remains skeptical of consolidating the Berryessa region under a BLM umbrella.
His concerns are echoed by fisherman Mark Lassagne, who blogged on the Bass Angler website that new federal oversight could "eliminate launch ramps, marinas and much motorized recreation and other recreational uses of the lake."
Kilkus says the NCA bill is likely to fail unless Democrats win back the House and keep the Senate in Democratic hands.
Hence the national monument option. "If Congress doesn't act, then the president should," says Schneider.
