Behind the cafes, the small streets and old buildings comprising sunset-hued pink, orange and deep red townhouses are picturesque, but they're possibly more popular for the multitude of shops and restaurants than their historical significance. more info

It really has a fairy-tale image with its beautiful Riviera - Côte d'Azur - setting, yacht-filled harbor and the elegant Casino that visitors can't miss, though most don't even enter to see the opulence and grandeur reflecting its exorbitant cost. It is an extremely rich place, where fast cars, big diamonds and flashy yachts are the norm. With its own Royal family who have ruled here since the 13th century, it is a place with which all of us are familiar. After all, who can forget Princess Grace Kelly? more info

With its impressive landscapes, rich vegetation, long golden beaches, the elegant capital Corfu Town, and many traditional villages, it is not surprising that this island receives many visitors each year. The capital is possibly most impressive, due to the Venetian, French and English civilisations that are remembered for the architectural elements they have left behind.

|Located at the head of the Adriatic Sea between the mouths of the Piave and Po Rivers, an intricate web of 118 tiny islands and canals make up the enchanting city of Venice in Italy. Considered to be an extremely beautiful and romantic destination, it is not surprising that Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music. One must take a gondola ride along some of the over 150 canals, including the Grand Canal.

Seven Seas Mariner Overview
Seven Seas Mariner leaves Australia on her World Cruise in March 2020, heading for the Middle East, Mediterranean and Caribbean. Look ahead to 29 October 2020 when there's another 68-night circumnavigation of South America, departing from Los Angeles, disembarking at Miami. Ten of those nights will be spent on the Amazon River, as far as 1500 km inland from the Atlantic. Anticipate February of 2021 and 2022 when Mariner again passes through Sydney on major cruises. The 2022 cruise circles the Pacific from home port of San Francisco over 120 nights. It includes 59 ports in 17 countries; 43 UNESCO World Heritage Sites; and 300 shore excursions. All cruises are indeed port-intensive, and focus on free top-range shore excursions. Mariner is an all-suite, all-balcony ship. Passengers spend more time in these 5-star plus suites than on most other ships afloat.
All 354 staterooms have an outside floor-to-ceiling view opening to a private balcony. Every stateroom is a suite, and the smallest at 301 ft2 (including balcony) is quite large. All staterooms have as a minimum a walk-in closet, individual temperature control, telephone, writing desk, table for in-suite meals, queen-size bed (or twin beds), generous lounge area, wooden cabinetry, mini-bar/refrigerator, TV/DVD, personal safe, all presented amidst luxurious decor.

Muslim Mental Health (MMH) is on the rise, its ascent driven by a growing awareness that Muslims must finally take mental illness more seriously. Such is a viewpoint not only shared by a growing number of Muslim grassroots movements, but increasingly recognized by the upper echelons of the health industry. The purpose of this post is not to unpack what MMH is or how it should look - though this is important - but rather to propose an element which MMH cannot deny: the political context of MMH. To explain, let me preface this discussion by summarizing how, in my estimation, our (grassroots organizations, health institutions, etc.) desire to 'improve MMH' boils down to two, interrelated objectives: cultural sensitivity and stigma reduction.
I was told many things about parenting, but two thoughts are often missing. First, you'll see time fly. Yes, time always flies, but now it eats and poops and says new words, and then poops again, gets bigger, and learns something new. Then the day is gone, and the next day ushers more novelty unlike the days before. Before becoming a father, there was a casual monotony in my everyday that made any of the last ten years seem indistinguishable. Sometimes I can't tell if a memory belongs to 2006 or 2013. But now time is encapsulated in a small but growing body; a recall trick that reminds me exactly what year it is by association of its temporal embodiment. A good reminder that we are all creatures of time.
The second realization was how terribly easy it is to hand down our anxieties to our children. This process resembles how children are socialised to associate emotions to various situations. If I, the father, have a fear of spiders, my reaction is appropriated by my two-year old who's scanning my face to emulate a response and decipher its meaning. Though temperament will undoubtedly factor in the child's reaction, I fear parents (or caregivers) may belittle the fact that they are the physical embodiment of their children's sense of security - always and everywhere.
Faith is a river that ebbs and flows through uneven terrain. Look at it from a distance and you will see, in time, how the shifting landscape changes the river's course. Sometimes the geography can even bring the river to a halt.
The loss of faith is not an easy subject to discuss, though it arouses curiosity among the religious and non-religious alike. Moreover, personal experiences of losing faith differ greatly. I will make a distinction here between those relieved and those distressed by their loss in faith. This distinction serves little more than to filter those suffering in their faith (a 'crisis in faith') from those who are not. The purpose of this article is to reflect on a particular form of spiritual anguish.

Full Foil! Persico 69F Cup
Photo by Studio Borlenghi. Click on image to enlarge.
Roberto Lacorte, Enrico Zennaro and Lorenzo Bressani are the first winners in the history of the Persico 69F Cup. With 9 first placements out of 15 races, FlyingNikka 47 dominated the Gargnano regatta field and won with 7 points ahead of the Swiss Team, in third FlyingNikka 74 which finished with 6 points from second.
The last day of racing showed how with winds above 12 knots the Persico 69F presented a great challenge: FlyingNikka 47 was the great protagonist of Event 1.1, but Nicola Celon, supported today by Fedrigucci - Salva, gave the winners "a run for their money". At ease with the sustained southern wind, known as Ora, the Swiss Team handily won three of the five races, and proved that they are extremely comfortable on the foils in maneuvering and flying at 22.61 knots on the race field, a result that earned them the Top Speed score of day 3. FlyingNikka 47 won the first and last round, capitalizing on all the advantages obtained in the first two days of runs with the extreme calm, typical of champions, and keeping as far away as possible from any penalties.
With just enough time to raise the first winner's cup to the sky, for the organizers it is already time to prepare for Event 1.2, scheduled for next week: training will start on Tuesday July 21st through Thursday July 23rd, maintaining operational headquarters at the Sailing Circle of Gargnano, where the second part of the first Grand Prix Persico 69F CUP will be held.

85 entries for RORC Race the Wight
The Royal Ocean Racing Club is expecting in excess of 100 entries for Race the Wight, scheduled to start on Saturday 1st August. All entry fees will be donated to the NHS Trust and the Scaramouche Sailing Trust. Race the Wight will be the first of a four-race RORC mini-series during August and September.
"As a charity, we rely on donations and grants. Every pound we receive goes towards getting more students from different backgrounds sailing," commented Jon Holt, Scaramouche Sailing Trust. "Our next big goal is to be on the start line of the Rolex Fastnet Race 2021. We are grateful for the ongoing support from RORC and proud to be named as one of the charities for the race." The Greig City Academy will have upwards of a dozen students on different boats for the race.
IRC Classes for the 50nm race around the Isle of Wight are still to be confirmed. However, early entries indicate a fleet full of champions with any number of potential victors.
RORC Vice Commodore James Neville racing his HH42 Ino XXX and Ian Atkins' Melges IC37 Icy are favourites for monohull line honours.
Vintage yachts abound through the fleet including some of the smallest entries, 2019 Quarter Ton Cup Champion Protis, with Ian Southworth on the tiler, will be able to gauge their performance against Tony Hayward's Blackfun. Past RORC Commodore Peter Rutter will be racing his restored Half Tonner Quokka 9. Giovanni Belgrano is part of the structural design team for INEOS Team UK for the America's Cup and his 1939 Giles one-off design Whooper has solid form for the race. Whooper is a past winner of the Gold Roman Bowl in the ISC Round the Island Race, beating over a thousand competitors. Ross Applebey's Oyster 48 Scarlet Oyster will also be in action and was in fine form recently winning class once again in the RORC Caribbean 600 and overall winner of 2019 RORC Cowes St Malo.
The overall winner of the Race the Wight will be decided by time correction using the IRC Rating System. -- Louay Habib
2020 Resolute Cup Canceled
The New York Yacht Club has announced that the sixth edition of the Resolute Cup, a Corinthian Championship for U.S. Yacht Clubs, will be canceled. The regatta was scheduled for September 14 to 19.
The Resolute Cup was first run in 2010 as the U.S. Qualifying Series for the Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup. The biennial regatta, which is sailed out of the New York Yacht Club Harbor Court, has since developed an identity of its own as yacht clubs from around the United States send their best amateur sailors to Newport, R.I., to compete for national bragging rights in addition to a coveted berth in the Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup, sailing's premiere international Corinthian big-boat regatta. The 2020 edition was to use the New York Yacht Club's fleet of 23-foot Sonars and a fleet of RS21s provided by regatta sponsor RS Sailing.
"We looked at all the options to run this event, but in the end we couldn't find an acceptable solution," says William P. Ketcham, Commodore of the New York Yacht Club. "This is a provided-boat event that draws teams from across the country. While many of the invited teams recently expressed a willingness to travel to the regatta, there is simply no way to ensure the safety of the competitors and New York Yacht Club membership and staff, and run a competition that meets the high standard set by previous editions of this regatta. We look forward to hosting it again in 2022."
The 2022 edition, which is scheduled for September 12 to 17, 2022, will also feature the RS21, along with the Sonar. The use of two distinct fleets of provided boats is a hallmark of the Resolute Cup.
The RS21 is specifically designed for fleet purchase, and has made an early splash in North America, with a club-owned fleet at Lakewood Yacht Club in Texas and regular appearances at the Helly Hansen NOOD Regatta series run by Sailing World magazine. Lakewood YC hosted the class's inaugural North American championship in mid-June.
Teams that requested an invitation to to the 2020 edition will get first crack at the berths in the 2022 event. Space permitting, other interested clubs will be able to submit their RFI in late 2021.

The unlikely return of the Sound Interclub class
In the autumn of 1925, a group of Long Island Sound yachtsmen met to discuss their growing need for a modest-sized daysailer. They sought a boat of similar proportion to a 6-Meter, but smaller, less expensive to build, and easier to sail. The new boats would be simple enough to be handled by junior yachtsmen, but exciting enough to provide good competition for veteran sailors. They would be well built, beautiful, and reasonably priced.
Mower's new sloop measured 28′9″ overall, 19′ on the waterline, and 7′6″ at the beam. The approximately 6,000-lb hull (2,500 lbs of which was in the external lead ballast) was driven by 425 sq ft of sail carried in a colossal main and a tiny jib. Under this towering rig, the boats of the new class promised to be fast. And they were, indeed, beautiful.
Indeed they are... the full story and lots of photos in Wooden Boat

Lecture Video: Halsey C. Herreshoff on the Herreshoff Centennial Classes of 1914
Halsey C. Herreshoff discussed three Herreshoff Centennial Classes of sailing yachts: the Newport 29, about the most winning class of any Herreshoff or other grouping; the Buzzard's Bay 25, the favorite model of Halsey's Grandpa Captain Nathanael Greene Herreshoff; and the legendary Buzzards Bay Boys Boats, later dubbed Herreshoff 12½ Footers, the world's first mass produced yachts of which 374 were built at the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company. Halsey spoke of the significant actions of the Herreshoff Manufacturing and its outstanding team that functioned so impressively in 1914, one of the most successful years in its history. Halsey speaks with remarkable insight from his naval architecture profession, four times America's Cup champion experience, and from Herreshoff family lore passed on by his late father Sidney Herreshoff.
Fight Scurvy! Drink Lemonade!
A Herreshoff-era recipe for lemonade and some complementary history of one of the deadliest diseases in maritime history
We know you've all been home for a while now. Being cooped up at home can feel a little like being on a long voyage: you don't have a lot of room to move around or a lot of privacy and all the good snacks are gone way too fast after every provisioning trip. Your family may be feeling more like a crew of unruly sailors every day. There is one thing we can do to help make sure you don't suffer like sailors of the past though: drink lemonade, and prevent scurvy!
The history of lemonade is just as interesting as the history of scurvy! Here is one recipe from the Herreshoff era, published by Isabella Beeton in her cookbook, "The Book of Household Management" in 1861. We recommend you scrub your lemons in hot water before starting. Let us know how this historical recipe goes!
The rind of two lemons
The juice of 3 large or 4 small lemons
1 lb. loaf sugar [equivalent today to 1 lb. of regular granulated sugar]
1 quart of boiling water
Rub some of the sugar, in lumps, on 2 of the lemons until they have imbibed all the oil from them, and put it with the remainder of the sugar into a jug; add the lemon-juice (but not pips); and pour over a whole quart of boiling water. When the sugar is dissolved, strain the lemonade through a fine sieve or piece of muslin, and, when cool, it will be ready for use...
Thomson completes qualification for Vendee Globe
Less than four months out from the 2020 edition of the Vendee Globe, British sailor Alex Thomson has officially secured his place on the starting line.
Thomson completed a six-day solo passage onboard his IMOCA 60 race boat, HUGO BOSS, finalising his qualification for the Vendee Globe, which begins on 8th November.
"I saw a good mixture of conditions, from 2 knots all the way up to 40 knots, some upwind and some downwind. It was a really good test of the boat. There were a few challenges along the way but that's part of the reason we do the qualification.
"This was the first time I've sailed solo on the boat and, I can tell you, she is a real pleasure to sail on your own. I've been blown away by her performance and I'm super happy with the set up. Being inside the cockpit, protected from the elements, is a real game changer, particularly as foiling offshore takes much more of a toll on the body".
Having finished the past two editions of the Vendee Globe in third and second place, Thomson and his team are focusing all their energy on securing a victory in 2020-21: "We're in a race against time to the start line so every day counts from now until then" he said. "Every day, we learn more about the boat and that learning process will continue right up until the start of the race. There is only one objective - to win. Nothing else matters, and everything we do between now and November 8th has to bring us closer to that goal".

Bill Barnett, OAM
Click on image for photo gallery.
An incredible designer, builder and competitor.
The late Bill Barnett was a famous sailing identity who designed, built and raced world champion boats from 18ft Skiffs to international 12 metre class yachts to challenge for The America's Cup.
Born in 1915, as a teenager, he began racing competitively in a 12ft canvas class dinghy called Myra (named after his father's first 10 Footer), then in 1934-1935 won the NSW Championship, which was the beginning of a successful sailing career.
When the Sydney Flying Squadron resumed racing 18s after the WWII years, he was part of a syndicate which bought the champion Jenny Too skiff from Norman Wright Snr in Brisbane. He continued to win many championships during the 1940s, including the 1946-1947 NSW Championship.
Bill designed and built the 6-foot beam Myra and won the 1948-1949 Australian Championship then improved his design and built Myra Too, which dominated the 18 Footer class by winning the NSW, Australian and Giltinan world Championships during the 1950-1951 Season.
Myra Too blew all of her opponents out of the water in the 1951 Giltinan Championship, winning all three races of the regatta with astonishing ease.
New Zealand's Jack Logan was expected to be a strong challenger in his new boat, Tarua, after the regatta remarked "Myra Too was in a class by herself."
Myra Too was exceptionally suited to the conditions of Sydney Harbour. She had a powerful Marconi rigged big sail and showed good all round speed in any conditions. Barnett had made the boat a little finer than most 18s and with a bit more flare on the topsides forward.
In the late 1960s, Barnett's career reached even greater heights when he was approached to build an international 12 metre class yacht, Warwick Hood-designed Dame Pattie, for Australia's 1967 challenge for The America's Cup.
Intrepid USA, Bus Mosbacher, won the series 4-nil at Newport, Rhode Island in September 1967, but Dame Pattie's backer Sir Frank Packer was prepared to fund another Cup challenger, named Gretel II, in 1970 and Barnett was again chosen as the builder.
In October 1971, a devastating fire in his boatshed destroyed the structure and contents. He began winding his business down in the 1980s, and in 2012 was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia 'for service to the boatbuilding industry as a designer and craftsman, and to the sport of sailing'.
Bill Barnett died in 2018.

VIENNA, 28 November (BelTA) – Belarus suggests developing a strategy of cooperation with middle-income countries to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Belarus' Ambassador to Austria, Belarus' Permanent Representative to the international organizations in Vienna Alena Kupchyna told BelTA.
"Belarus is concerned about the lack of a strategy of cooperation with middle-income states at the UNIDO. The organization has similar programs for the BRICS countries [Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa] and also for the least developed countries. We believe such an approach does not meet the aggregate potential of the middle-income countries and their contribution to the world economy," Alena Kupchyna noted.
Belarus has submitted to the UNIDO General Conference its draft resolution on inclusive and sustainable industrial development in middle-income countries. "We believe that the adoption of the resolution will help the UNIDO Secretariat to work more actively, building an expert dialogue to share the advanced experience of industrialization and innovative and technological development of middle-income countries with developing states," the ambassador said.

By Eric Schweibenz and Lisa MandrusiakOn May 26, 2015 ALJ David P. Shaw issued the public version of Order No. 8 (dated May 13, 2015) granting non-party Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company North America's ("TSMC NA") motion to quash a subpoena filed by Complainants in Certain Graphics Processing Chips, Systems On A Chip, And Products Containing the Same (Inv. No. 337-TA-941).
By way of background, this investigation is based on a November 21, 2014 complaint filed by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. of South Korea and Samsung Austin Semiconductor, LLC of Austin, Texas (collectively, "Samsung") alleging violation of Section 337 in the importation into the U.S. and sale of certain graphics processing units ("GPUs"), systems on a chip ("SoCs"), and products containing the same that infringe one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,147,385; 6,173,349; 7,056,776; and 7,804,734. See our November 26, 2014 and December 24, 2014 posts for more details on the complaint and Notice of Investigation.
The subpoena was served on TSMC NA, but sought information from TSMC NA's parents and affiliates, including non-party Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ("TSMC"). The ALJ explained that the potential involvement of TSMC was already the subject of a motion filed by TSMC seeking intervention to disqualify Samsung's counsel, Kirkland. TSMC sought disqualification because two of the four patents asserted in this investigation were asserted against certain TSMC products in Investigation No. 337-TA-906, where TSMC was represented by Kirkland. ALJ Shaw denied TSMC's motion to disqualify Kirkland, determining that TSMC did not establish that Kirkland's representation of Samsung is directly adverse. This determination was based on numerous strong representations made by Samsung such as "Samsung does not accuse TSMC's standard cell libraries or wafer-manufacturing processes of infringement at all. TSMC has the burden of proving that these matters are substantially related and has failed to do so" (emphasis in original). Further, Samsung repeatedly emphasized that infringement in this case depends on the structure of the product, not the process used for making it, and that the focus of the case would be on NVIDIA products "regardless of how they are made" and that the case is not about the process of making these products, "let alone any TSMC electronic libraries" (emphasis in original).
Since the ALJ accepted Samsung's representations in determining not to disqualify Kirkland, he determined that applying the same expectations here illustrates that the discovery requested by the subpoena is not relevant, granting the motion to quash. The ALJ stated that Samsung is now seeking discovery on topics "ranging from design and layout, through process information and testing, to material composition and work processes" for numerous products. As noted by the ALJ, "[t]here is not a single Topic of the subpoena at issue that conforms to the representations that Samsung made in order to avoid having the Kirkland firm disqualified."
Finally, the ALJ stated that if it turns out that the case actually involves how TSMC makes the accused products, it is unclear whether the disposition of the motion to disqualify Kirkland would be the same as he previously ordered.

Behold My Wife (1920)Countries - United States | MPAA Rating - NR
Share on
Synopsis by Janiss Garza
While British aristocrat Frank Armour (Milton Sills) is away in northwestern Canada, his fiancee breaks off their engagement. Frank is convinced that his parents are to blame, and to disgrace them, he marries a half-breed, Lali (Mabel Julienne Scott), and sends her home to England. But when she arrives, Frank's brother, Richard (Elliot Dexter), takes her under his wing and teaches her how to behave like a British aristocrat. Frank, meanwhile, is still in Canada, turning into a barroom bum. He finally pulls himself together and returns home to discover that 1) Lali has not only become an accepted member of his snobby family, she is one of its most popular members, and 2) He has a son he didn't even know about. So he and Lali are happily reunited and all questions of racial prejudice are blithely swept under the carpet (as they so often were in 1920). This picture was based on the novel, The Translation of a Savage, by Sir. Gilbert Parker, and was remade as a talkie in 1935.


text: City Law City Council approves affordable housing plan By Cole Behrens Posted on October 8, 2019 5 min read 0 0 350 City Council voted Monday night to accept recommendations included in the City of Athens Affordable Housing Plan, which lays a loose groundwork for the city to proceed in attempting to create economic opportunities in the city. The plan, introduced for approval by Councilmember Sarah Grace, is the product of years of work by the Affordable Housing Task Force and the Affordable Housing Commission, groups assembled by the city to research local affordable housing opportunities. "I ask that we adopt this to move forward with some really positive options for the city for affordable housing," Grace said. The plan includes several recommendations, such as working cooperatively with private enterprises and Ohio University to develop residential real estate to attract young people businesspeople to Athens. Grace said it also outlines changes to city zoning and a variety of incentives to residential real estate developers, such as offering "tax incremental financing" — essentially a rebate offered on development investments. This could include a portion of development taxing used to construct essential infrastructure like roads or water lines leading to residential properties. The plan recommends establishing a housing and redevelopment department with a dedicated staff, perhaps within an existing city department that oversees housing, such as the Office of Code Enforcement and Community Development, Grace said. She said the affordable housing property value range is between $125,000 and $250,000 on a home. She clarified that affordable housing is not the same as low-income housing, which falls under a different pricing or assessment threshold. The median selling price of a home in Athens was $169,250 in 2018, according to ohio-realty.com. Several members of the body commended the ordinance at length. Councilmembers Chris Fahl, Kent Butler and Pat McGee all took turns praising the bill, expressing gratitude toward Grace for introducing the legislation. Butler said he was optimistic the plan would increase the prospects of young professionals following businesses looking to establish themselves in Athens as the economy of the city diversifies and more businesses enter the economic landscape. Butler described the endeavor as another opportunity for the city and Ohio U to align their interests because the plan outlines The Ridges as a potential location for affordable housing, The Post reported. "(There is a) need for housing that accommodates young professionals, people looking to call this home, and potentially also faculty members," Butler said. "There is a need for housing that isn't represented (in Athens)." Chris Monday, a City Council at-large candidate, spoke up during the meeting and questioned the nature of the legislation. Monday said he heard criticisms of the legislation from residents who believe it will do nothing for someone who works "40 to 60" hours per week. They believe the bill prioritizes encouraging young professionals to migrate to the city rather than lower-income residents, he said. "So when there is something called affordable housing, it's still so out of reach of many of the regular people of Athens," Monday said. "It really hurts. When it's to bring in young professionals from out of town to a university where attendance is declining, it hurts even more." Editor's Note: A previous version of this article misstated the day of the City Council meeting.

Temperature increases but day length does not: an additional problem caused by climate change
Keskiviikko 18.9.2019 klo 15:59 - Mikko Nikinmaa
In temperate and arctic environments most organisms use the predictable day length changes as cues to respond appropriately to oncoming temperature changes (coming of winter or spring; availability of food; time to reproduce; change of fur colour). The day length-temperature interrelationship has remained constant so long that many evolutionary adaptations have taken place. Hares and squirrels change fur colour, hedgehogs start to hibernate, virtually all temperate and arctic mammals and birds reproduce, when food is plentiful, and coastal Arctic fish produce mRNA from gene encoding antifreeze protein in expectation that the protein is needed.
The day length-temperature relationship is unique for geographically distinct populations. For this reason, even if the temperature tolerance of a southern population of a species would be right for migration to north, the day length temperature mismatch would, for example, make the animal to reproduce, when the food availability is not optimal. Similarly, animals from different latitude change their fur colour at different times. Because of this, even if climate change resulted in temperatures that would be suitable for a southern population of a species, its day length requirements would be inappropriate.
With climate change, the day length-temperature mismatch becomes a serious problem. It is aggravated by the fact that plants and insects with short generation time will be able to respond to temperature increase much more rapidly than vertebrates, which have evolved seasonality. Consequently, food availability during breeding may not be optimal, leading to reduced reproductive success. This kind of indirect effect of climate change on animals is seldom mentioned, but can be even greater that temperature effects themselves alone. We pointed out the problem in Prokkola and Nikinmaa (2018) Circadian rhythms and environmental disturbances – underexplored interactions. J. Exp. Biol. 221, jeb179267; it has recently been reviewed by Walker et al. (2019) Global climate change and invariable photoperiods: A mismatch that jeopardizes animal fitness. Ecology and Evolution 9:10044–10054. Owing to their long generation time, vertebrates can hardly adapt (i.e. accumulate required genetic changes) to the changing day length-temperature relationship. However, tolerance is possible if the plasticity is large: this requires either large genetic variability within population or large phenotypic plasticity (=individual variation) of a genotype.

Final Fantasy IV : The complete collection

RE: Final Fantasy IV : The complete collection
Hello all, been trying to play this game on my Nexus 7 2013 Tablet. Game has random frame drops that dip very low and stay like that till I pull up the emulator menu and reenter. Messed around with the settings and can conclude the games audio is the cause. After turning off sound it runs very smoothly. Why is the audio so taxing? Tested on the latest orphin build. No sound definitely ruins the experience lol.
Note: Nevermind. Frame drops still persist. Will test around some more and update if I find anything else. Just curious as to way this game lags so bad.

Where do we even begin? We simply cannot say enough good things about Cameron and Tia. When we got in the car after our first "interview" with them, we looked at each other and said simultaneously, "So…do we even need to talk to anyone else?" In the time it took to drink a coffee, we were completely blown away by the positive energy, kindness, excitement, and passion of these two. We knew they were the kind of people we wanted to entrust with capturing the most important day of our lives.
Going into our wedding day, we were 100% that we could trust Cam and Tia to do an amazing job, and we were right. From the moment they arrived at the venue, their joyfulness, excitement, energy, and love was infectious and everyone around us took notice. They immediately eased our nerves and helped us remember to enjoy every moment of our day. Not to mention, they were on top of EVERY. DETAIL. Not one single thing was ever a hassle or a to-do for either of us. They took care of everything, from running my dress around for photos to returning every item they photographed to its place - Tia even re-glued my eyelashes for me, seriously they are super heroes.
What we loved most about having Cameron and Tia as our photographers was that throughout the night, we received ENDLESS compliments from our guests about how fun, thoughtful, energetic, kind, and incredible our photographers were. They hadn't even seen the photos yet but couldn't stop talking about Cameron and Tia simply because they are WONDERFUL people with such big hearts and so much love for what they do, love for each other, and love for the couples they work with.

Vegan Protein Breakfast Pancakes
Nourish your mornings with these Healthy Vegan Protein Pancakes. They are packed with fibre, totally satisfying and contain 25 grams of Plant Based Protein. The perfect healthy start to your day.
Pancakes are definetly one of those breakfasts that are on repeat in my house! Particularly at the weekend! I love how versatile they are, you can add different flavoured protein depending on what you fancy and not to mention the best bit…toppings! Where the possibilities are endless.
My general go to pancake recipe isn't vegan 4 Ingredient Banana Protein Pancakes and I have to say I do find this recipe the quickest and easiest in the morning. But if I have a bit more time and fancy a change from my regular pancakes then this is the recipe I turn to.
The big flavour in these vegan protein pancakes is banana due to the mashed banana which when combined with the coconut yoghurt, blueberries and syrup on top, it really is the tastiest combination. Not only tasty, with it being full of Protein as well as a good balance of Carbs its a great pre or post workout meal! I tend to have pancakes as my pre workout breakfast on a Saturday.
I always tend to use coconut oil to fry my pancakes in as I've found its the best oil to avoid the pancakes sticking. A great non stick frying pan is obviously needed as well!
I hope this recipe becomes one of your weekend staples too 🙂 Here it is…
- Scoop of Vegan Protein Powder (I used vanilla flavour)
- 1 banana- mashed

Unichip ECU:
Ignition Timing Control: As with fuel control factory cars come with the ignition timing a long way away from ideal. With the Unichip we can optimise the ignition timing across the entire rev range, with Unichip "LIVE" timing and fuel adjustments are possible, this is the only true way of determining the best possible timing and fuel setting at each load site. Ultimately this will give the car more power, more torque and greater fuel economy. If the owner chooses to run premium unleaded fuel we can set the tune to take full advantage of the higher quality fuel.
Throttle Manipulation: Many new cars are "Drive by wire" meaning the throttle is now electronically controlled via the E.C.U. Not driven by a cable any more. With this control manufacturers are now controlling the amount of throttle opening and limiting throttle opening in some cases up to 75%!
Utilizing the power of the Unichip we open your throttle to 100% and also sharpen the response time! Giving you more power and torque and faster acceleration!
Boost Control: Unichip has complete 3D control over boost pressure across the entire operating range of the engine. This allows the Unichip Trained technician to increase the boost pressure as required. This helps in keeping the Air Fuel Ratios within a safe limit.
- Increased horsepower
- Tuned and dyno-tested to improve acceleration and engine sound
- Easy to install using commonly available tools
- Air filter lasts up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is required (depending on driving conditions)
- Washable and reusable oil-free filter media
- Roto-molded Plastic Air Intake Tubing
- AEM Lifetime Limited Warranty
- Twin 2.5" Cat-Back system;

Deb Pyne
Fizz (full name at birth – Frederick Fizzgiggle Sniffsmith) inched his big beautiful black moist shnozzle through the tiny gap in the snowfall shored up at the entrance to the den and puffed a few foggy little breath clouds into the deep night outside. Sniff, sniff.
Fliffing heck it's cold! But look how beautiful it is!
He took a second to glance back deep into the den at his pack, he could hear yips of joy and contented snuffling: he knew they were dreaming of chasing fast prey, tasty morsels to eat and having their bellies scratched. What self-respecting dog wouldn't?
Fizz felt the responsibility of being pack alpha lifting, the alpha's burden is to be rufty tufty at all times, woe betide opening the smallest crack in a shot at his leadership. No, that would never do, the pack would fall into immediate chaos, there would be in-fighting – fliffing drama queens – and he would have to fight for his right to be top dog! Again!
Well forget that! Didn't scrap my way to the top only to have to start from scratch. No way!
He turned his attention back to the task at hand and steeled his resolve to complete the mission.
This is something only I can do, come snow or high iceballs. The Snowfather trusts me and I can't let him down.
Still, would the pack really be okay without him? He took a moment to remind himself that his second in commands – Miffy and Pitstop – would keep the pack safe till he returned but still . . . yes, there it was . . . a momentary pang of loss. Keep your mind focused and stay on mission, he scolded. Just do exactly as the Snowfather directed, no more, no less. Back in no time!
He forced his way through the dog-high snowpile and popped out the other side, careful to push some of the snow back to reseal the den. No need for them to get cold.
Here we go.
Nose to the air he started forward sniffing this way and that to catch a scent. The Snowfather instructions were specific so he was following them to the letter. He first must seek out the Fir Fae Witch Queen. She was relatively easy to find if the wind was favourable and the night reasonably still. The unmistakeable aroma of fir needles and cones would lead him straight to her, or at least to her companions. From there, it was just a matter of being charming, no Fir Fae could resist being flattered into oblivion, they lapped it up! Silly little flibbertijibberts!
Sniff, sniff. There! Got it! Fizz pointed himself in the direction of the dense snowforests nestling at the base of the Ice Hills and worked up to a gentle trot. One paw up, then another, up with the hind two! Aaaaaand, take flight! Yessss!! Flying!! He navigated on a true course and injected some speed. From this height he could spy all sorts of things. He could see the iceflies casting their blue-white glow, flitting here and there seeking out mischief to do. And look! There were the Flurriers ushering a wave of blizzards at Pitchafit village, no doubt to keep them on their toes!
Fizz caught a big, fat warm thermal and relaxed. No need to get all worn out when you can just ride the airwaves.
Some cold minutes later he began his descent, landing with a soft 'pffff' on the edge of the forest. Fizz immediately lay flat to the ground so he could scout his surroundings without being spotted. Aargh! Fliff! Cover already blown!! An icefly going by the name of Candlecracker landed on the tip of his moist nose and made a deliberate attempt to tickle the tips of his whiskers in an all out effort to make him sneeze, thereby revealing his position. Fizz studied the little mistress of mischief intently suppressing a giggle of infinite smugness.
She has no idea the training I have gone through to combat this exact scenario. This is nothing! Execute tactic no.9, on my mark!
He puffed a little hot air upward, just as a gentle warning shot that more could come her way and would surely melt her if she kept this up! You've got to be ruthless! Candlecracker let out a teeny squeal and zoomed off at lightning speed. Fizz finally let out the restrained sniggle. Silly little fliffing flibbertijibbert! But he did so love iceflies, so easy to scare! Although, in truth, he couldn't possibly hurt one they were just so fliffing pretty!
Focus! He wriggled his body round so he was pointed in a northerly direction and dove beneath the thick blanket of snow, inching his way forward. Firfae always kept to a northerly ley line so he couldn't miss with this strategy. And If anyone spotted the shifting snow they would likely think it was a snow serpent and stay away. His plan was simple and effective. He aimed to come up right behind a tree so he could use it as cover and survey the forest from a safe vantage point. Using the soft pads of his paws to sense his way he eventually felt the roots of a tree, slippery and slick with freezing cold ice. He kept moving till the roots merged into the trunk and finally he carefully surfaced to find himself exactly where he wanted to be.
Fizz peeked round the tree and took in his surroundings, he could smell the unmistakeable waft of woodsmoke and toasted marshmallow. So predictable! He shifted a tree or two nearer and heard the familiar crackling of a well-built fire. Another peek. Aha, I see her! Fizz gathered his wits, he was always a little mesmerised by the Firfae Witch's pale beauty and knew that her soft smooth voice would be honey to his ears. He was smitten and generally stayed away from her for this very reason. He shook his fur out in the hopes that he looked suitably presentable and boldly stepped from behind the tree. Fizz strode out attempting to appear nonchalant and cool – he highly suspected this wasn't working well for him as it tended to make him look like he had a limp!
He tried to get her attention with a low, rumbling cough and a very polite, "My Lady!"
The Firfae Witch – who's name by the way was Philomena – cast her pale blue eyes in his direction and sparked a dazzling glint his way, Fizz's heart picked up a beat and he felt sure he was panting more heavily than he should be. Get a grip! She's just trying to bewitch you!
"I have instructions to take instructions from you, so I'm here to be instructed!" he blurted bumblingly. Did I really just say that?
Philomena laughed mirthfully at the wonderful effect she could create on this handsome hound and handed him a wooden box with a perfect snowflake carved into the lid. "Open it!" she ordered.
Fizz looked at the box suspiciously as though any moment now it would explode or turn into a giant hound eating monster, nevertheless he cautiously pried open the box with a claw and peeked inside. He could hear a faint melody coming from the box and a sparkling stream of snow notes started to swirl, forming a tornado of music around him. He could hear singing and felt laughter and joy as each snow note touched him. An icy white glow appeared and a silver key floated out of the box. And as he listened carefully to the music he heard the voice of the Snowfather reciting a rhyme, over and over, the echoes getting louder and louder.
Through the blizzard . . . Through the blizzard . . . Through the blizzard . . .
In the arms of the wizard . . . In the arms of the wizard . . . In the arms of the wizard . . .
My faithful hound . . . My faithful hound . . . My faithful hound . . .
Use the key to my secret door . . . Use the key to my secret door . . . Use the key to my secret door . . .
What have you found . . . ? What have you found . . . ? What have you found . . . ?
Could it be . . . Could it be . . . Could it be . . .
A little something from me . . . ? A little something from me . . . ? A little something from me . . .?
He grabbed the key and thought that would be the end of it but the words and notes were getting thicker and thicker with each reciting until he was surrounded by a rotating spiral of music and snowflakes. Not to mention a smidgen of confusion! What did the Snowfather mean? Was this swirling mass the first thing? Or the second? It must be the second, he decided. Alarmingly, Fizz felt himself being picked up by the force of this magical wizardly tornado and was in danger of being spirited away, he instinctively tried to fight it but it just got more dense with each wriggle and squirm. Trust the Snowfather. Finally he gave himself to it utterly. I must trust the Snowfather and go wherever this takes me. Fizz surrendered to the curious transport and perceived it ascending skyward taking him along with it.
As he travelled ever more up Fizz's mind was filled with all the good things in his life. The Snowfather and his faith in Fizz. His pack and their undying loyalty. Icy cold water to drink at the end of a long, hard run. A warm fire that could chase the chill out of the bones. A hearty meal shared with family. Simple things. Powerful things.
Fizz considered himself very fortunate. He was loved and cherished and that was all that mattered to him. And with luck he would solve this riddle. He came to the abrupt conclusion that there would probably be further instructions once he opened whatever door it was that the fliffing key opened.
And with these thoughts running round his head, he fell asleep! And dreamt.
Fizz dreamt of falling. Falling, falling, falling. Through ice caverns, snow tunnels and blizzard tubes.
He suddenly woke with the horrible realisation that he was falling, actually falling.
He scrabbled to launch himself into flight but nothing was happening. Had he lost the power to fly?
Before he could answer he landed in a snowbank and softly tumbled to a stop. He righted himself and sat up, shaking the snow from his whiskers. He didn't recognise anything. Where the fliff was he?
I'm lost! Fizz's conclusion was not without merit. He had never been here which was ridiculous since he had circumnavigated Oddball on many occasion and knew every nook and cranny of the nutty little planet.
Curiously, he wasn't concerned. Instead he felt a comfort and peace and somehow this stilled his addled and panicked mind.
As he tried to orient himself to no particular point of reference he saw a golden glow coming from the trees. Wait! What's that? Using the trees for cover he crept toward the light . . . and it moved towards him. What is this sorcery?
The light particles pulled and tugged at him, drawing him ever closer. To what though? Where am I going?
The light dragged him through the forest to a small clearing. Sitting in the middle of the clearing was a beautiful log cabin decorated with pine cones, fir branches and snowberries. It was beautiful. There was a small set of steps leading to a porch on which two rocking chairs were set with thick blankets and plump cushions which begged to be sat on. Even better, Fizz could swear he smelled hot cocoa and marshmallows. He licked his chops whilst simultaneously going on full alert
Firfae! Is this a trick? It didn't feel like a trick. He climbed the steps and came to the door of the cabin. There, in the middle of the door was a keyhole. The key! He took the metal device that he had been tightly clinging onto, pushed it into the lock and turned it. There was a satisfying click and the door opened.
What the fliff? The cabin was as beautiful inside as it was out. A roaring fire with yet another rocking chair, gently swaying back and forth! A table with hot chocolate. The smell of food wafting from behind a closed door. Fizz was tired and the chair was the final invitation to sleep. One he couldn't resist. He plopped down into the chair making a grab for the hot chocolate at the last second. He took a sip. It was just as he liked it, not sweet and sickly but hot and spicy. He fought his way through the marshmallows and drank deeply. He liked to save the mallows till last, picking them out with a claw, one by one.
Fizz set the empty vessel onto the table and noticed an envelope with his name on it.
He was fit for a good nap but knew he would have to see what was inside the paper parcel before he could close his peepers.
It was a card. It read . . .
My dear faithful, loyal hound of the First Order.
Fizz, you are the best of all that I hold dear and deserve a day off. This is where I take my leave when I need a rest. My own private cabin.
Sleep all you want, eat and drink all you want and then sleep some more. Sleep deep with the knowledge that the pack is in my care, and that you have not a care in the world. No-one to be beholden to and no-one to serve. You are protected and safe.
Merry Snowtide, my friend.
A very grateful Snowfather.

Pride and Prejudice
Non-member price: $36.54
Publisher's Summary
Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.
Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr. Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighborhood. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth.
Pride and Prejudice retains a fascination for modern audiences, continuing near the top of lists of most-loved books. It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, selling over 20 million copies, and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes.

A delightful rendition of a classic
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend this version narrated by Elizabeth Klett. Since there are many narrators who do these classics, I think it's highly important to love the voice telling the story.The sisters come alive with Elizabeth's voice, and so do the other characters in a way you can tell them apart. The narrator is able to do many different voices without making them sound like "caricatures" which I appreciate.
What did you like best about this story?
The interplay and flirtation between Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett, Mr. Darcy's slow and troubling realization that he had feelings for Elizabeth, and the social commentary of those days.
Which character – as performed by Elizabeth Klett – was your favorite?
Elizabeth Bennett, but all of them were well done. Elizabeth was the most sensible, and a foil to some of the more silly ones who were man crazy.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The entire Wickham affair was quite tongue in cheek, as well as the social climbing of some of the minor characters. That part where the younger sisters thought Wickham was such a celebrity was hilarious.
Any additional comments?
With audiobooks, you have to be comfortable with listening to a narrator for many hours, so voice is very important. I enjoyed Elizabeth Klett's narration.

Bohemian Gothic Tarot - The Hanged Man
I got this guy in my daily draw today.
So what I see right now is influenced by two other cards in the same draw.
I've always liked this pose when depicted on the figure in this card - the inverted 4. The upright 4 is frequently seen in cards depicting the Emperor (that's his number), as well as the God or the Lord in pagan decks. 4 - solid, firm, established, orderly, follow-the-rules-and-you'll-get-it-right. It also represents Jupiter, believed to rule both the sun and the moon. In its association with Jupiter, it represents the higher functions of the mind, wisdom and optimism.
And when the 4 is inverted in the posture of the Hanged Man - with the owl also present in the picture - my sense is that the wisdom sought can be gained, but not through conventional means and not without sacrifice or discomfort on the part of the seeker. (The 4 is also reminiscent of the crane pose in some Druidic rites - and it can't be terribly comfortable to pull off, particularly for any extended period of time.)
Crane lore tells me that it maybe necessary to go deep into another world - the underworld, filled with shadows and places I haven't been - to gain the wisdom I seek.

1 day after its ascending node on 26 September 2021 at 07:33 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 12 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 9 October 2021 at 19:35 in ♏ Scorpio.

After 8 days on 6 October 2021 at 11:05 in ♎ Libra, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
