Customer Reviews
I ordered both and they're delicious! My favorite is the New World one. So good!!!
I purchased Abra on a whim as I like to try the selections from different roasters. Zambia was a pleasant surprise and I'm so happy I tried it out!
My first time trying the regions of Haiti and Zambia, Abra Coffee has made me a fan! Both have a smooth finish and the perfect medium roast really brought out the flavor in the beans. I'd rate 10 stars if I could!
I was interested to try the Old World (Zambia) coffee but ended up getting the "Whole World Coffee" option - just because it's fun to get something from both the Old and New World. They are flavorful in their own way, but it's the New World (Haiti) coffee that surprised me. Glad I got both! I also liked the little print-outs of each coffee that I could hang on my wall as quick references.
The coffee is fresh and has a strong flavor. I like the design of the coffee bags. The shipping was quick.
I recently purchased Old World 🌍 medium roast from Abra. I usually drink my coffee ☕ black with out adding anything so for me I like a great medium roast that is not to dark and not bitter. Zambia roast met everywhere expectation I had ....very smooth with a pleasant aftertaste that left me wanting a follow up sip immediately! What a great medium roast you won't be disappointed! The great folks at Abra work hard to bring you the best roasts worldwide!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! Thank you ABRA!!!! 😃☕👌🏻
The Costa Rica medium roast was my favorite of the two excellent coffees that made up with "Whole World" sampler. I enjoyed the Malawi as well but if I had to pick a favorite...slight edge to the CR. The ordering, shipping and delivery of the coffee was a snap. I also enjoyed getting the extra information on the coffee's origin and roasting process on the cards. This is a great way to try different high end coffees at an affordable price point. Thank you!
The coffee itself was amazing and brewed fantastically in my Chemex. I love the little cards that you get with each coffee choice explaining the region, the process, and the flavor notes. Gives people the opportunity to learn more about coffee.
Recently had a delivery of the Malawi and thought the packaging from Abra was great. I appreciated the information card on the coffee itself and cute paperclip. Glad I had the coffee ground to work perfectly wit my chemex. The Malawi isn't a coffee I would normally choose based on the tasting notes as I usually favor more heavy/sweet notes but I was very happy with the medium roast with a light, refreshing taste. My GF and I are flying through the bag. Glad I made the purchase!
I brewed two Hario's and was able to nail the flavor on the 2nd brew using my Brew Coffee app: https://BrewCoffeeApp.com
The first batch tasted like molasses and a darker roast, but when I hit the timing the sweetness broke through with the Costa Rican coffee.
Thanks for the great coffee. I had to make one adjustment to finish in my 3 minute recipe. I changed the pour duration to finish by 2:10 so it could draw down by 3 minutes. It worked great with a 16.2:1 ratio using 21g coffee, 340g water. (30 second bloom, 2:10 pour, 3:00 finish time).

Swimming is an exercise and a skill which can be complimented with other forms of training. Majority of the people you would talk to would love the idea of swimming or even learning it. Without a doubt the physical and mental benefits swimming provides are definitely something which we should take into consideration. It can easily help in relieving all the stress you have built up throughout the day and make you feel relaxed. For many people, swimming is a way to retreat from the disasters of everyday life and just float in the water in peace, this is why you would often find even athletes swimming before their big competitions to feel calm.
When you talk about having a membership at a good swimming pool from Endless Pools and Spas, then it can definitely take up a lot of your money every year. Swimming pool memberships are not cheap, moreover, depending on how far you live from the place and their opening and closing timings, you may not even be able to access it as per your convenience. So why not get indoor swimming pool installed? In this article we will be discussing that why you should get a swimming pool installed inside your house, so let's discuss a few benefits of it below.
As we previously discussed that, if you own a club membership for swimming, you never know that if you would be able to make time for it from your busy schedule or not, and you would be restricted to go on a certain time. Furthermore, the weather can also play a key role whether you would go swimming or not. However, when you have indoor swimming pool all of these things do not matter. Even if there is a thunderstorm outside, you do not have to worry because your pool will not be affected. You can conveniently swim at any time you want inside your house and not follow a specific schedule to make your life more convenient.
Daily Exercise
Swimming is one of the best exercise whether you are a trained athlete, or someone who is recovering from an injury. There are numerous benefits of swimming which makes it a great option. By having indoor swimming pool you can ensure that you are in shape all year round and get sufficient exercise daily to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Easy Maintenance
Outdoor swimming pools can easily be contaminated because of the elements which are present. Whether it is debris, the UV rays or just dirt, maintaining an outdoor pool can be difficult. However, this is not the case for indoor swimming pool. Making sure that it is chemically treated and cleaning it every now and then is all you need to do to enjoy.
These were the reasons that why installing a good indoor swimming pool is something you should consider. So make sure you have a reliable team by your side who can help you install it to add convenience to your life.

date={2015 Jun 25},
journal={Plosone (ISSN: 1932-6203, 1932-6203electronic)},
abstract={Aims: Activation of Ca2+/Calmodulin protein kinase II (CaMKII) is an important step in signaling of cardiac hypertrophy. The molecular mechanisms by which CaMKII integrates with other pathways in the heart are incompletely understood. We hypothesize that CaMKII association with extracellular regulated kinase (ERK), promotes cardiac hypertrophy through ERK nuclear localization. Methods and Results: In H9C2 cardiomyoblasts, the selective CaMKII peptide inhibitor AntCaNtide, its penetratin conjugated minimal inhibitory sequence analog tat-CN17β, and the MEK/ERK inhibitor UO126 all reduce phenylephrine (PE)-mediated ERK and CaMKII activation and their interaction. Moreover, AntCaNtide or tat-CN17β pretreatment prevented PE induced CaMKII and ERK nuclear accumulation in H9C2s and reduced the hypertrophy responses. To determine the role of CaMKII in cardiac hypertrophy in vivo, spontaneously hypertensive rats were subjected to intramyocardial injections of AntCaNtide or tat-CN17β. Left ventricular hypertrophy was evaluated weekly for 3 weeks by cardiac ultrasounds. We observed that the treatment with CaMKII inhibitors induced similar but significant reduction of cardiac size, left ventricular mass, and thickness of cardiac wall. The treatment with CaMKII inhibitors caused a significant reduction of CaMKII and ERK phosphorylation levels and their nuclear localization in the heart. Conclusion: These results indicate that CaMKII and ERK interact to promote activation in hypertrophy; the inhibition of CaMKII-ERK interaction offers a novel therapeutic approach to limit cardiac hypertrophy.},

Council commissioned the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) to monitor air quality in Motueka, Riwaka and Brooklyn during May to August 2019. This was to monitor smoke emissions (particulate matter, PM10 and PM2.5) associated with wood burning, traffic and fires.
A network of 22 outdoor air quality sensors – called ODINs (outdoor dust information node) – were installed on street lights and power poles around the area. NIWA used weather station data to track daily air movement and temperatures. The collected data enabled NIWA's air quality scientists to analyse how much pollution residents are exposed to.
The results of the monitoring indicate:

Following the recommendations in the report, Council will be undertaking a monitoring programme in autumn/winter 2020 to establish a baseline of information using the Council's Air Quality NES accredited monitoring station. The monitoring station will be moved to the east side of the township where the highest smoke concentrations were recorded. This will confirm if there is an air quality issue that requires permanent monitoring and a need to introduce management tools. The Air Quality NES only requires the identification and monitoring of airsheds where air quality standards are likely to be breached.
In addition to monitoring, staff will continue to provide education and best practice advice regarding home heating and outdoor burning as part of the Council's wider air quality work programme.

The attack on the Balochistan Police College began around 11:10 pm yesterday, when 3 militants from a Pakistani Taliban linked-group, burst into the expansive academy building housing cadets, targeting the sleeping quarters that are home to about 700 recruits, gunning them down and sending some to flee.
The shootout is one of the deadliest extremist attacks this year, according to reports, as gunfire was still ringing out from the building several hours after the attackers had stormed it.

What do you have planned? Something good I hope?

I have a close friend whose son appears hopelessly addicted to prescription drugs. I say "appears" because he still retains some semblance of hope that the next rehab or time spent in detox will shake him loose from this possession.
Yes, possession. As in demonic.
A more contemporary description might be multiple personalities, or at least that's what it feels like when you're with him. You never know who you're dealing with at any given time—the liar-schemer-thief, or the promising young man you knew and loved.
This kid is/was a smart, sensitive, funny boy with a heart as big as could be. The girls loved him, he loved the girls. He was popular, had lots of friends . . . no doubt some of the wrong friends, but then, didn't we all? He and his pals were smoking dope as early as seventh grade.
He injured his shoulder as a teenager, to such a degree that his constant pain was lessened only by drugs. He graduated high school, went to college, and seemed to be moving in all the right directions. Then, he suddenly lost his job. Family possessions began disappearing. He was blatantly stealing money and property from his parents, cousins, and grandparents to pawn them for enough cash to buy prescription pain killers, easily available from the human trash who deal the stuff. Drug dealers are where the "all God's children" thing doesn't work for me anymore.
His habit mushroomed, going from a few pills per day to mainlining. He stole more, forcing his family into crushing credit card debt. Friends offered to pay to retrieve pawned merchandise. Once retrieved, he simply stole it all again, and the cycle continues to this day.
Finally, he was sent to a prohibitively expensive (aren't they all?) rehab facility. One month and $18,000 later he was out, arrogantly informing us that he could lie his way out of anything, conning anyone into believing he was straight. At the same time he was agonizingly apologetic. Thus the disease reveals itself: a two-headed monster. The self-assured addict deceives, finding ways to justify feeding the insatiable need for more, while the human being watches helplessly, loathing what he has become.
Three rehabs, hundreds of lies, tens of thousands of dollars, and yet another lost job later, he sits in a detox unit waiting to be transferred to a mental facility run by the state. He insists he's OK, even though he tried to end it all a short while back by shooting Clorox into his arm. Fortunately, he missed the vein.
His DNA résumé has "chemically dependent" written all over it. He is not the first in his family to fight these demons. As the father of an alcoholic son once told me, logic doesn't work with addiction, except the logic of quit or die. The raw truth of that equation is at the same time unbearably simple and terrifyingly complicated. So, we sit and wait, praying he can save himself.

ESPN is shaking up its executive ranks. Connor Schell has been named the sports network's executive vice president of content, effective immediately, network president John Skipper announced Friday. Schell will oversee all of ESPN's content creation across television, digital and print platforms. Schell's new responsibilities will also include studio and remote production as well as digital and print content creation. He will continue to report directly to Skipper. "Connor has demonstrated keen insight into what resonates with fans, and his instincts allow him to excel at managing the creative process," Skipper said. "I have tremendous confidence that he and his new team of talented executives will help us create dynamic content that will break through in a changing environment." Former executive vp of digital and print media, John Kosner, a 20-year veteran of the network, will depart immediately while executive vp of global business and content strategy Marie Donoghue will also exit the company at the end of this year. Donoghue had recently been in charge of ESPN's Exit 31 unit which oversaw Grantland titles and the FiveThirtyEight films banner. Schell previously had reported to her. For his part, Kosner led the team that built 12 global versions of the website and 11 versions of the network's mobile app, an online presence which boasts 120 million unique visitors monthly. "Our tremendous scale in digital media and the smart evolution of our digital products is directly attributable to John's passion, business savvy and relentless focus on innovation," Skipper said of the departing Kosner. "We are managing dynamic change from a position of strength, and John's efforts are a big reason why. I am grateful for his many contributions." Schell had previously overseen ESPN Films, helping the sports network land its first Academy Award in February for the documentary O.J.: Made in America. He had also worked with Bill Simmons to launch the acclaimed 30-for-30 series. His most recent role as senior vice president and executive producer of original content saw Schell responsible for the ESPYs, NBA Countdown and The Jump, as well as ESPN hits like Pardon the Interruption and First Take. "ESPN has always been at the forefront of the creation of exceptional content for sports fans across every platform, and my colleagues are the most creative, collaborative and dedicated people in the industry," said Schell.

"I believe we can enhance the quality of our lives by surrounding ourselves with objects that possess values beyond their function or aesthetic, that possess intelligence in their creation, that one can interact with and that will stimulate senses each and every time one engages with them."
Joseph Walsh founded his studio and workshop in 1999 in Co. Cork, Ireland. Walsh's creative approach reflects his appreciation of nature and also his desire to engage the user with visual and tactile forms.
Walsh's workshop, employing an international team, engages in resolving technical challenges as his work becomes more complex. They explore new materials while continuing to further the possibilities of engaging with wood. The work of the studio continues to advance skills, inspire an innovative response and challenge existing practice in achieving the ambitious pieces realized.
Walsh was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by University College Cork in 2015 in recognition of his contribution to design.
Walsh's work can be found in many significant international museums and private collections and is regularly exhibited at major art and design fairs.

Operating under new management, Thiel, in what is sure to be seen as a controversial move, is stepping away from the time/phase-aligned designs of the late company founder Jim Thiel, to release new more conventionally designed 'Third Avenue'-series loudspeakers (Third Avenue is a major thoroughfare in Nashville, Tennessee, the music-minded city where Thiel has relocated).
Thiel's new range consists of the TT1 floorstander ($5798/pair), TM3 standmount monitor ($3498/pair), TC1 centre channel speaker ($2,495 ea.), and the upcoming Sub 1 ($3,000/pair). A company spokesman indicated that, after Jim Thiel's passing, a decision was taken to try to design speakers that would preserve (or even improve upon) the classic Thiel sound, but that would use rather more conventional drive units and crossover topologies (Jim Thiel's signature first-order crossovers helped phase coherency, but at the price forcing drivers to work far above and below they're intended operating ranges, thus imposing certain unwanted dynamic constraints, not to mention higher build costs).
Totem Acoustic
Totem was thinking small—at least in terms of cabinet size—when it planned this year's CES demonstration, with a significant part of its display centred on its tiny new Kin Mini standmount monitors ($499/pair) and Kin Sub ($700 each, with an 8-inch woofer, 120W BASH amplifier, and an acoustic suspension enclosure). Together, and for a smidgeon less than $1200, the Kin Mini/Sub combo represents a visually unobtrusive speaker system that produces a big, rich, natural sound that far exceeds expectations for such a compact system.
Vienna Acoustics
Vienna brought to CES a loudspeaker it has brought to many past shows—namely, the Imperial Liszt ($15,000/pairs, and also known as the 'junior version' of Vienna's famous Die Musik loudspeaker)—but this time with the announcement that the Imperial Liszt is shipping at last. Like Vienna's flagship Die Musik, the Imperial Liszt uses a swivel-adjustable top module that houses Vienna's signature flat-diaphragm coincident midrange/tweeter array, while the lower section of the speaker houses a multi-woofer low-frequency array. Our though is that the Imperial Liszt might be ideal for those who have long admired Die Musik, but needed speakers that sold at a far less stratospheric price point.
Following along in a similar vein, Vienna also showed its new Beethoven Concert Grand Symphony Edition floorstander ($8,500/pair). Conceptually, the Beethoven Concert Grand Symphony Edition might be considered the 'Son of the Imperial Liszt', as its woofer-array section is very similar indeed. Up top, however, the Beethoven Concert Grand Symphony Edition foregoes the Imperial Liszt's swivelling coincident tweeter/midrange driver module, instead providing a more conventional upper cabinet section that houses separate (that is, non-coincident) high-quality midrange and tweeter drive units. Sonically, though, the family resemblance between the Beethoven CGSE and the Imperial Liszt is readily apparent, as is the connection between the Imperial Liszt and Die Musik.

An all blacked-out version of Schott's classic silhouette, black leather, black zippers, black buttons and buckle. Converse is represented with an inner label, single black metal stars on each shoulder, and the leather from the mid-sole of their shoe collaboration is used on the inside pocket. Like the shoes in this joint effort, the jacket is a well executed, understated and fully wearable collaboration from two classic American companies, Converse began in 1908 and Schott in 1913. You can see this Made in the USA jacket displayed on my back tonight and in the future. Thanks to John and everyone at Converse.

This obviously can create a nutrient insufficient environment for your body to achieve the goals you've set. The Weight Loss System is designed to complement you're eating program and help you optimize performance to emphasize FAT loss, not just weight loss. Designed to help the body shed the extra pounds, the Weight Loss system will provide the nutrients you need while building and toning the muscles. The Weight Loss system consists of: Daily Essentials Multivitamin, Rx Oils, Burning Point, and Rx Meal shakes. Daily Essentials Multivitamin Daily Essentials is a broad-spectrum multivitamin/mineral/antioxidant supplement. This custom formula is rich in nutrients, and it is designed to help the body reach its maximum potential. The Daily Essentials Multi-Vitamin complex is an important part of your Basic Foundation™ system that also includes the Rx Oils. The time-released feature assures that the water-soluble B Vitamins and Vitamin C will be delivered over a period of many hours. As a result, greater absorption of these nutrients can be achieved, and nutritional coverage will be available for a longer period of time throughout the day. Vitamins are necessary for proper growth, digestion, and nerve function. They enable the body to use carbohydrates, protein, and essential fats for energy and repair. Minerals serve as building blocks in cells and enzymes, and are the main components in bones and teeth. Antioxidants repair oxidative damage to the body caused by free radicals, and strengthen the immune system. Daily Essentials Multivitamin is available in different formulas for men and women. Rx Oils This Omega 3, 6, 9 complex supplement uses organic plant-based oils for its source of Omega 3. This eliminates the possibility for mercury contamination in your Omega complex supplement. With the use of plant-based omega sources in this formulation, Rx Oils is a great choice for vegetarians to bridge that essential fatty acid (EFA) gap that may exist because of food choices. The Rx Oils is an important part of your Basic Foundation™ system that also includes the Daily Essentials Multi-Vitamin for Men or the Daily Essentials Multivitamin for Women. Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) play a critical role in the workings of a healthy body. Why are they essential? Because the body must have them to survive, but cannot synthesize them from any other substance, so a direct source is required. Taken in the right amounts and ratios, EFAs improve and maintain health in the following ways: Increase Energy Performance and Stamina: help build muscle and prevent muscle breakdown, and accelerate fatigue recovery. Strengthen Bones: help to prevent osteoporosis by aiding in the transport of minerals that keep bones and teeth strong. Promote Healthy Immune System Function: produce eicosanoids that regulate inflammatory and immune responses, lowering inflammation and slowing autoimmune damage (arthritis). Aid in Weight Loss: enhance thermogenesis. Recent data also suggests EFAs have been found to block fat producing genes. Help Maintain A Healthy Heart: lower high blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammation, and formation of clots. Speed the Healing Process: form cell membranes and are essential for cell growth and division. Enhance Brain Function: are necessary to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter essential to the entire nervous system. Mood and behavior disorders are linked to decreased levels of EFAs. Produce Healthy Hair, Soft Skin, and Strong Nails: insufficient amounts of EFAs result in dull hair, dry skin, and brittle nails. Burning Point Burning Point boosts your metabolic rate to turn your body into a fat burning machine. The proprietary T.L.C. Stack™ stands for Thermogenic, Lipotropic and Carb Control. That means not only do you increase your rate of caloric burn, Burning Point will help your body break down and emulsify the existing fat. Plus the Carb Control component not only acts as an appetite suppressant, but it can also inhibit extra carbohydrates from being converted to fat. Burning Point is available in XT (extra strength) and SF (Stimulant Free) formulations. Rx Meal Shake Powders For optimum fat-burning and muscle-building results, you need to consume a high-protein, moderate-carb, low-fat meal about every three to four hours. Don't have time to eat four to six small, balanced meals per day? That's why we invented Rx Meal. A new, cutting edge meal replacement formula, Rx Meal contains a complete balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats to help nourish, tone, and strengthen your body. An essential part of a weight management plan, this nutritious meal replacement combined with a Basic Foundation program (Daily Essentials Multi-Vitamin and Rx Oils) may help you reach your fitness goals faster than ever before! Rx Meal is the perfect, compact meal for people on the go, plus it contains a wide array of vitamins and minerals as well as added fiber.

Excession is a science fiction novel by Scottish writer Iain M. Banks. It is the fifth in the Culture series, a series of ten science fiction novels which feature a utopian fictional interstellar society called the Culture. It concerns the response of the Culture and other interstellar societies to an unprecedented alien artifact, the Excession of the title.
The book is largely about the response of the Culture's Minds (benevolent AIs with enormous intellectual and physical capabilities and distinctive personalities) to the Excession itself and the way in which another society, the Affront, whose systematic brutality horrifies the Culture, tries to use the Excession to increase its power. As in Banks' other Culture novels the main themes are the moral dilemmas that confront a hyperpower and how biological characters find ways to give their lives meaning in a post-scarcity society that is presided over by benign super-intelligent machines. The book features a large collection of Culture ship names, some of which give subtle clues about the roles these ships' Minds play in the story. In terms of style, the book is also notable for the way in which many important conversations between Minds resemble email messages complete with headers.
There's an entry for 'excession' in the Oxford English Dictionary, defined as "a going out or forth." The first date of occurrence is 1655. It comes from the same Latin root as "exceed", in the sense of passing a boundary.
Plot summary[edit]
The Excession of the title is a perfect black-body sphere that appears mysteriously on the edge of Culture space, appearing to be older than the Universe itself and that resists the attempts of the Culture and technologically equivalent societies (notably the Zetetic Elench) to probe it. The Interesting Times Gang (ITG), an informal group of Minds loosely connected with Special Circumstances, try to manage the Culture's response to the Excession. The Affront, a rapidly expanding race which practises systematic sadism towards subject species and its own females and junior males, also try to exploit the Excession by infiltrating a store of mothballed Culture warships and using them to claim control of the mysterious object.
The Sleeper Service, an Eccentric GSV is instructed to head to the location of the Excession by the ITG. As a condition the Sleeper Service demands that Genar-Hofoen, a human member of Contact, attend it to seek a resolution with his ex-lover who lives in solitude on the GSV. They had had an intense love-affair and, after a series of sex changes, had each become impregnated by the other until Genar-Hofoen was unfaithful and Dajeil attacked Genar-Hofoen, killing the unborn child. Dajeil then suspended her pregnancy and withdrew from society for 40 years and the Sleeper Service hopes to effect a reconciliation between them.
As the stolen Affront fleet approaches the Excession, the Sleeper Service deploys a fleet of 80,000 remote controlled warships, in a misguided attempt to neutralize the threat. It transpires that the Affront have been manipulated into their grab for power by members of the ITG who thought it was morally imperative to curb the Affront's cruelty by any means, and intend to use the Affront's theft of Culture warships as an excuse for war. The Excession releases a wave of destructive energy towards the Sleeper Service. In desperation, the Sleeper Service transmits a complete copy of its personality, its "Mindstate", into the Excession, which has the effect of halting the attack. The Excession then vanishes as mysteriously as it appeared and the brief war with the Affront is halted.
During these events, and after speaking with Genar-Hofoen, Dajeil decides to complete her pregnancy and remain on the Sleeper Service, which sets course for a satellite galaxy. Genar-Hofoen returns to the Affront, having been rewarded by being physically transformed into a member of the Affront species (whose company he finds more stimulating than that of the Culture's people).
The book's epilogue reveals that the Excession is a sentient entity that was acting as a bridge for a procession of beings that travel between universes. It also assesses whether the species and societies it encounters are suitable to be enlightened about some unknown further existence beyond the universe; as a result of events in the story the Excession concludes that the civilisations it has encountered in this universe are not yet ready. It also takes the name given to it by the Culture – The Excession – as its own - in an oblique reference to the aforementioned Affront species, who had been named by another species in an attempt to label them as a lost cause of hyper-sadistic freaks.
Outside Context Problem[edit]
This novel is about how the Culture deals with an Outside Context Problem (OCP), the kind of problem "most civilizations would encounter just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop."
This is a problem that is "outside the context" as it is generally not considered until it occurs, and the capacity to actually conceive of or consider the OCP in the first place may not be possible or very limited (i.e., the majority of the group's population may not have the knowledge or ability to realize that the OCP can arise, or assume it is extremely unlikely). An example of OCP is an event in which a civilization does not consider the possibility that a much more technologically advanced society can exist, and then encounters one. The term is coined by Banks for the purpose of this novel, and described as follows:
The usual example given to illustrate an Outside Context Problem was imagining you were a tribe on a largish, fertile island; you'd tamed the land, invented the wheel or writing or whatever, the neighbors were cooperative or enslaved but at any rate peaceful and you were busy raising temples to yourself with all the excess productive capacity you had, you were in a position of near-absolute power and control which your hallowed ancestors could hardly have dreamed of and the whole situation was just running along nicely like a canoe on wet grass... when suddenly this bristling lump of iron appears sailless and trailing steam in the bay and these guys carrying long funny-looking sticks come ashore and announce you've just been discovered, you're all subjects of the Emperor now, he's keen on presents called tax and these bright-eyed holy men would like a word with your priests.
Banks has noted that he spent much time playing the Civilization computer game (appearing to refer to the first version of the game series) before writing the book and that it was one of the inspirations for the concept of the 'Outside Context Problem' central to the novel. In an interview, Banks specifically compares this to having a Civilization battleship arrive while the player is still using wooden sailing ships.[1]
Literary significance and criticism[edit]
Banks' view of the Culture[edit]
The book, more than any of the other Culture novels, focuses on the Culture's Minds as protagonists.
When asked about his focus on the possibilities of technology in fiction, Banks said about the book:
You can't escape the fact that humanity is a technological species, homo technophile or whatever the Latin is. Technology is neither good or bad, it's up to the user. We can't escape what we are, which is a technological species. There's no way back.[2]
Also significant within the Culture novel cycle is that the book shows a number of Minds acting in a decidedly non-benevolent way, somewhat qualifying the godlike incorruptibility and benevolence they are ascribed in other Culture novels. Banks himself has described the actions of some of the Minds in the novel as akin to "barbarian kings presented with the promise of gold in the hills."[3]
Most reviewers praised the book's ideas and witty writing, but some complained about its complexity. Kirkus Reviews described the book as "Brilliantly inventive and amusing--whole sections read like strings of knowing jokes--but a mess: Chattering spaceships with splendid if confusing names [...] don't compensate for the absence of real characters."[4] A few who praised it commented that Excession's complexity and frequent use of in-jokes make it advisable for new readers of Banks' Culture stories to start with other books.[5][6] In a retrospective of Excession at Tor, Peter Tieryas writes, "There are literally paragraphs thrown in as background detail that could make for amazing novels of their own. Part of the joy of Excession is hearing the Minds speak with each other, that matrix-like shower of numbers, text, esoteric syntax, and witty repartee."[7]
Gideon Kibblewhite reviewed Excession for Arcane magazine, rating it a 10 out of 10 overall.[8] Kibblewhite comments that "Huge in scope, intricate in detail, swaying from pathos to metaphysics and from humour to light-speed action, Excession is another astounding achievement from lain Banks - a science-fiction writer truly without equal at the moment."[8]

Popping is not always the answer.14 July 2017 10:45
Is acne one of your life problems? Are you wondering why do they have to be there and why do they have to show off on your face?
So this is how acne happens:
Inside your pores, sebum is mixed with dead skin cell, causing clogged pores which might let acne bacteria popularize and free radical compounds damage the tissue and cause redness and inflammation.
Sometimes the redness will be gone by itself. However, there are some cases where the redness does not change even after a year which means it might be acne scars.
There are some natural treatments that can reduce the redness which are effective and simple that you can do it at home:
1. Ice cubes
Ice cubes might be the fastest way. Put some ice cubes inside a fabric and put them on the spot where you have the infection. Let it be for few minutes. Redo it until the redness reduced. Make sure you do not push it too hard to avoid injuring the acne and making it worse.
2. Eye drops
Eye drops such as Visine contains tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride which helps to reduce acne fast.
Drop some eye drip liquid on cotton and put it inside a freezer. Let it be for a night. The next morning, put it on the acne for few minutes.
When the skin absorbs the liquid, there will be temporary constriction of blood vessels and it will reduce the redness.
If the redness is not reduced, try to do it again.
3. Aspirin
Not only for headache, aspirin has salicylic acid that can reduce inflammation by peeling the skin and redness through constriction of blood vessels.
Split it into half, add some water, and then apply it on the acne. Put a plaster to cover it and leave it for 30 minutes.
4. Toothpaste without mint and fluoride
Toothpaste has silica which helps dry the acne. But it is better for you to not using toothpaste which has menthol or fluoride. These materials might not only cause irritation, but also create more acne.
5. Make-up
You can also cover it using make-up since now we can find a lot of cosmetics which are non-oily and non-blackheads.
Choose cosmetics made from minerals such as silica, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide since these materials do not cause irritation and are effective to reduce oil from the skin and cover the redness.
If you use concealer, use the green one since it is contrary with the red color on acne thus can disguise the redness. Put some powder after using concealer to make the color with the skin match and to prevent make up from fading.
Remember that these fast ways to remove acne does not minimize the risk of acne scars. You should consult your doctor to know how to prevent acne scars.

You know you are a Creatrix.
You have desires. There are big goals you want to hit and powerful visions you want to bring into this world.
Except, after all the self-work, the visualizations and the gratitude lists, what you desire just isn't showing up.
Or, you are getting crickets.
Here are three common reasons why your results are hit or miss, and what to do about it.
Go for the Vision
There's certainly nothing wrong with goals.
However, just working with goals alone doesn't provide enough emotional charge to carry us through challenges that will inevitably arise in this journey.
If you find yourself losing momentum on your goals, it could be that it's time for you to go for the bigger fish – your vision.
- A vision is not a milestone outside of us we are chasing after.
- A vision is generated from a higher and more deeply connected place within.
- A vision speaks to who we are, resonates on a soul level, and is the WHY we are doing what we choose to do.
- A vision initiates a powerful internal journey for us to step into the persons we are destined to become, and embody our highest level.
One way you can generate a deeply meaningful vision is to bypass all the mental noise, and connect with your heart.
Take a few deep and expansive breaths, tune into your heart space, then ask,
- "What do I truly desire (in life, business, income, relationship, health, etc)?"
- "If I could create anything, and others' opinions and money don't matter at all, what do I really want?
- "WHY is this important to me?"
A vision feels elevating, purposeful, and exciting; with a hint of fear of "can I really do this" mixed in.
If it triggers a little uncertainty, know that a vision is meant for you to step outside of your comfort zone, embrace your sacred destiny, and say yes to the innate wisdom, gifts and talents that already exist within.
Truth bomb: if it doesn't scare you, it's not big enough.
Cut the Overwhelm with a System of Intention
We've all experienced this.
We return from a Vipassana retreat or ayahuasca journey feeling reborn and ready to take on the world, then find ourselves gradually getting sucked back into old patterns, resulting in confusion and overwhelm.
In order to manifest anything you don't currently have in your physical reality, you are required to shift to a different way of being by creating a lasting internal change to think, speak, feel, and act from a higher level of consciousness.
However, as human beings with monkey minds that are constantly repeating stories from the past, it's easy for us to get stuck in yesterday's rut.
Having a system in place allows you to stay connected with your vision, start each day with an intention, and have the positive habits to bring you back into alignment whenever you get sucked into old patterns (my clients receive a done-for-you customized daily system that help them upgrade their entire inner operating system in order to quantum leap).
There is no right or wrong way to create this system, and it can be something as simple as starting each day with an intention.
I begin and end each day with a meditation, in addition to sacred journaling and mantras.
The purpose of creating a system is for you to always be aware of where you are internally, and what you are broadcasting to the universe.
Pick and choose the habits that work for you, and remember they must feel good to you, and are sustainable so you can do this daily.
Don't Hustle, flow
We've been conditioned to hustle and plow our way through obstacles.
The energy of hustling is very different from being in the flow of life. You need the latter to consistently create what you desire with ease and grace without feeling like you are running on a hamster wheel.
It's no secret that having a positive mindset is not enough, you must couple self-belief with aligned action to bridge vision and reality.
Action is absolutely crucial in manifestation work, as just working with spiritual tools while neglecting the physical does not create results, a mistake many spiritual entrepreneurs make.
However, taking action isn't equivalent to blind doing. Manifesting like a Creatrix invites you to step into your highest level frequency, become aware of the opportunities in your life, and take aligned actions.
When you clarify and commit to your vision, you are also simultaneously activating your most powerful partner in crime – the universe (Divine, God, Spirit, etc.), to co-create with you.
The universe then orchestrates itself around your vision by sending you inspirations like "hire this mentor to help you," or, "here's an opportunity coming your way."
Ultimately, all manifestations are co-creations between us and the universe. Our end of the bargain is to stay open, allow the guidance to come through, and say yes to and act on it. We meet the universe halfway by taking aligned actions.
An aligned action can feel exciting, but most likely, it trigger old fears and a ton of resistance because it is outside of your comfort zone.
Most people mistaken resistance for "this isn't the right action," and talk themselves out of taking that crucial action that is the ONLY way to lead to the physical manifestation. – this is why having aligned support from someone who's already walked this path is crucial.
Is it time for you to remember how to access your deepest power, own your impact, and turn on your magic?

Here's some visual evidence:
It's not that being 74 causing the muscles to decline: the 74 year old triathelete has the same body composition of the 40 year old triathelete. Furthermore, if the the 40 year old triathelete was to be incapacitated for a long period of time, they would start to resemble the 74 year old non-athlete.
This is not to say that our bodies don't suffer wear and tear as we get older. But we have more control over the aging process than we may think. So get out there and exercise, regardless of how old you are. Just do it. 🙂

With the Tigers Over China 1941-1942
n the twelve months centered around the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a diverse group of American and British flyers fought one of the most remarkable air campaigns of WWII. Pilots including Claire Chennault, "Pappy" Boyington, and Art Donahue bought time for an Allied regrouping against Japan's relentless assault in the China-Burma-India theater. In the face of the 1941 bombings, Chiang Kai-shek turned to air power to survive, which he did thanks to Chennault's rebuilding of the Chinese Air Force and the leadership of the American Volunteer Group, or AVG.
