Hi Friends
I have a Valentine's nail art for you today.
I called it Old Love notes nail art :)
Here is the items used to create this nail art.
- Jess polish Hot Chocolate.
- Benecos polish in Sandstorm.
- Max Factor polish in Ruby Fruit.
- Barry M Textured Effect nail polish in Countess.
- MUA Clear top coat.
- Disney nail art pens in Red and Pink.
- Accurate nail art pen in Green.
- Make-up sponge.
- Newspaper cuttings.
I applied a base coat on all the nails using the Jess polish in Hot Chocolate.
I then painted onto the make-up sponge with the Benecos Sandstorm polish and I dabbed the sponge onto the centre of each nail then I went over the sponged area with the polish lightly brushed the centre for more coverage and the edges to be left sponged.
I used the Barry M polish on the nail tips and on some edges.
Once this is dry I then took the newspaper cuttings and dipped it into the small cup of water then placed over the nail and press for a few seconds then lift it off the nail.I repeated this for each nail using a new paper cutting.
I then used the Max factor polish for the rose bases in the corners of the nails.then using the nail art pens I filled in the rose petals and using the green did some leaves.used the top coat and it is complete.
I actually like how these turned out as I have never tried this newspaper effect before.
I think it gives it a good old fashioned look hehe.
I hope you liked my Old Love notes nail art.

In tackling a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever stopping to look up or ponder the things that you do not understand right away. Pay attention to what you can understand and do not be stopped by what you cannot immediately grasp. Go right on reading past the point where you have difficulties in understanding, and you will soon come to things you do understand. Concentrate on these. Keep on in this way. Read the book through, undeterred and undismayed by the paragraphs, footnotes, comments, and references that escape you. If you let yourself get stalled, if you allow yourself to be tripped up by any one of these stumbling blocks, you are lost. In most cases, you will not be able to puzzle the thing out by sticking to it. You will have a much better chance of understanding it on a second reading, but that requires you to have read the book through at least once.
From Mortimer Adler and Charles van Doren, How to Read a Book, 36-7.

Ida B. Wells-Barnett House
ListenIda B. Wells (1862-1931) was a civil rights advocate, journalist, and suffragist. She lived in this house from 1919 to 1929. Arguably, her most famous incident occurred in 1884 when Wells refused to sit in a segregated car on a train in Tennessee. She was forcibly removed and, after some time, was able to file a successful lawsuit in a lower court. However,the Tennessee Supreme Court saw fit to reverse this decision. Following her termination in 1891 after openly criticizing Memphis' black schools, Wells turned to journalism full time. She became editor and co-owner of the Memphis Free Speech and Headlight and used it as a platform to advocate. She documented lynchings all across the country and raised awareness. Angered by her direct challenges to white "superiority", white Tennesseeans destroyed her press offices. Because of this she moved north and published Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All its Phases. She wasnt quite able to get an anti-lynching legislation passed, but it is because of her that the larger scale black movement was made possible. After settling in Chicago, she founded the Negro Fellowship League for black men, the first kindergarten for black children and the first suffrage club for black women. She is credited with successfully integrating the U.S suffrage movement when she refused to walk with the other black women in the back of the 1913 Washington parade. Instead of walking in the back with the others, she was able to infiltrate the ranks of her white Illinois peers once the march had began.
ListenIda B. Wells-Barnett was an African-American woman who achieved nationwide attention as leader of the anti-lynching crusade.
Ida started her life in Mississippi after the Civil War, attended Rust College and later taught school in Memphis, Tennessee. She also became involved (co-owned) in a Memphis newspaper known as Free Speech. When three black store owners were lynched in 1892, Wells responded by penning an article in her paper that attacked the evils of lynching, as well as encouraging the black residents of Memphis to move westward. As a result, a mob destroyed her office and threatened to kill her if she refused to leave town. She moved to Chicago, where she continued to research, write, and fight against lynchings in the South.
Although she moved to Chicago's Southside, she never stopped traveling to the south to visit sites where lynchings occurred. She eventually published, in 1895, The Red Record, the nation's first documented statistical report on lynching.In addition to her writing, she actively spoke out against lynchings through formal and informal speeches. Indeed, Wells even traveled to Great Britain to promote her activism against lynchings.
Later, she became an integral figure in the creation of the National Afro-American Council and as a leader within the Anti-Lynching Bureau. She also helped found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
The house, still owned privately, is where Wells lived with her husband, African-American rights advocate Ferdinand Barnett. Together, they published the Chicago Conservator and were leaders within Chicago's strong African-American community that later led to the creation of the Chicago Defender.
It is fitting that her residence now exists on King Drive, which demonstrates the connection to African-American culture on Chicago's South Side, as well as the continued movement against racism from Ida Wells to Martin Luther King. It should also be known that despite Wells's efforts and activism, the U.S. Congress never passed anti-lynching legislation, which made it necessary for African-American activism to continue, culminating in the work of King.
SourcesThe academic source material available for use in constructing a small summary of Ida Wells' life are endless. To cite each point would require endless sources.

Mind Jar / Relaxation Jar

I have been wanting to make one of these, and I am so glad to hear it has worked well for your daughter.ReplyDelete
My daughter also struggled with a big life change at 4 when she started preschool for the first time. In the end it was okay, but it would have been good to have something like this for her when to help her calm down some.
I can't wait to make one of these. I'm still torn with which recipe to go with haha. What is the settling time of this one? :)ReplyDelete
This is beautiful - think we need one in our house, its been an exciting year but one with lots of changes including a new baby (maybe the grown ups might use it too!)ReplyDelete

I wonder if anyone has used this for older kids? 10/11 range. Not really as a time out jar more a "sit down, calm down, regroup, get your bad attitude in check" jar. My kids tend to respond well when I tell them to go to their room antil they can chill out and loose their attitude. I also have a 5yo nephew and a best friend with toddlers who might benefit from this. Going to make a couple up and give them out. (sorry about the 'antil' typo. For the life of me my phone refuses to let me correct it. Hopefully when I publish it doesn't show up with the 47 times I tried to correct it)ReplyDelete
Thank you for your post! My family is in the throes of a cross-country move and my five year isn't handling it well. Frankly, neither am I! I stumbled on mind jars thanks to Pinterest and included your post as one of my favorites on the subject: http://amegalilife.blogspot.com/2012/05/breathe-in-flowers-blow-out-birthday.htmlReplyDelete

Good morning :D
Yesterday I went to youth club at my school, and I went down to 90.. which is 5. So, I didn't feel well so I did the usual, have a jelly baby, some orange juice and wait to test myself in 10minutes... the only problem was that I had run out of test strips, I was in trouble. I have never let my self run out of strips, but I did yesterday. Went up to an astonishing 19 ! I felt like I had let my self down, and it made me feel even worse when I remembered these were my levels when I was poorly. Mum said it wasn't my fault, that it was only a blip. But when I woke up this morning, instead of being around 123 or 130, I was 171, which is only 9.8 but it was the highest I have ever been in the morning since getting better.
I know why I went up was too much but I just couldn't stop crying and beating myself up about it. I am very strict with my diet and with what my levels should be, mum is too but I am a bit OTT, but I'm bound to be, I have only been a T1 Diabetic for about 8 weeks, trust me, it feels like 8 years!!
Yesterday was one of those days where I really didn't want to be a diabetic, and knowing that I couldn't do anything to get rid of my diabetes was, even worse. I sometimes ask my self, what have I done to deserve this? What has anyone that is suffering with T1 or T2 done to deserve it? Whoever knows some type of cure needs to speak up and tell the world quick. I don't want to be diabetic, but it doesn't mean I can do anything about it though. I just hope and pray for EVERYONE out there that has either T1 or T2 or gestational diabetes, there is hope guys, and we are examples of hope and faith, because we get by day by day knowing that we have it, and that we are going to conquer it, in our own special ways!
Loads of love,
Friday, May 18, 2012
Bit of blip !

AssetAssayer™ – Predictive Modeling
Asset Valuation
Berkshire Group uses proprietary predictive modeling tools to project performance, to forecast required loss reserves, funding, and capital, and to arrive at values for loans, servicing rights, structured bonds, and derivatives. We work with clients to obtain and process loan level data, filling in missing fields, interpreting data field codes, and mapping and formatting into a consistent structure, readable by our models. We populate the models with appropriate assumptions, depending on the timeframe and purpose of the modeling.
We project balances, cash flows, delinquencies and losses using a Markov process whereby the values each period depend on the previous period's values, but are conditionally independent of the previous values of the stochastic process – in other words, the behavior of the process in the future is stochastically independent of its behavior in the past, given the current state of the process. We produce detail and summary reports along the way to obtain an overview of the relative risk characteristics of each pool.
If loans are contained within a securitization structure, we can reverse engineer the deal and model the structured cash flow waterfall in order to properly project cash flows for each bond.
Loss Forecasting and Reserve Analysis
Berkshire Group works with banks and other portfolio lenders to:
- Analyze the general and specific credit risk within their residential and commercial mortgage portfolios
- Project delinquency roll-rate and migration patterns
- Determine timing and magnitude of provisions, charge-offs, liquidations, realized losses, costs and recoveries
- Project the monthly balance sheet and income statement impacts
We assist our clients in modeling the portfolios and in documenting policies and procedures.

There are some people who just can't get enough of tattooing, and we've got 50 examples of them right here. The pain and the price were no obstacles to these full body tattoos.
As you click through the slideshow, just think of the time involved with covering your entire body with ink. Is it completely crazy, or is this just another way for someone to express their artistic side?
Implications - Embracing self-expression continues to be one of the predominant ways that modern individuals express themselves. While tattoos were once associated with counter-culture that deviated away from mass culture norms, they have recently become much more acceptable and embraced within society. Companies looking to promote modern products should utilize tattooed models.

Like me and many other neuroscientists who study memory and who find ourselves explaining what we do to non-neuroscientists, Rodrigo Quian Quiroga must often have encountered people who claim they have a bad memory - and then offer themselves as experimental subjects. We live in a world that loves and worships memory, while its absence is seen as bad, even pathological. In Borges and Memory, the author uses the work of the renowned Argentine writer as a way to take us through the journey of memory research in humans, concluding that we could not function if we had unlimited memory capacity.
I should probably warn you that this is a book that uses Borges as an excuse to talk about memory: it is not one that offers a deep analysis of the neuroscience found within his writing. In the words of the author: "This is neither a book about Borges nor a textbook on memory; rather, it stems from my urge to tell a story that I find fascinating." And fascinating it is.
Indeed, Borges and Memory feels like a quest to find out what makes scientists tick. And what makes Quian Quiroga tick? Taking Borges' short story Funes the Memorious as his point of departure, the author begins his quest for scientific inspiration in literature, films, philosophy and science. Funes the Memorious tells the tale of Ireneo Funes, a peasant from Fray Bentos who wakes up after an accident with the ability to remember absolutely everything. Borges explores the consequences of this acquired skill, which eventually proves to be mentally devastating.
Quian Quiroga then considers reported cases of extraordinary memory, such as that of Solomon Shereshevskii, who was studied by Alexander Luria, the famous Russian psychologist and founder of modern neuropsychology. He compares it with the case of the most famous subject in the history of neuroscience, Henry Molaison, known as patient H.M., an American who had his hippocampus removed in 1953 in an attempt to cure the epileptic seizures and "profound amnesia" that resulted from his being knocked down by a cyclist as a boy. The many studies of H.M., who was in a sense the opposite of Borges' Funes, gave rise to modern theories of memory.
After a few detours on subjects including consciousness and prodigious minds, Quian Quiroga writes about his own experiments on neuronal recordings from humans. These experiments are fascinating, as they indicate that there are neurons in the hippocampus that are activated by abstract concepts. The most famous one is the cell that reacts to the actor Jennifer Aniston. This neuron not only reacts to different pictures of her but also to her written and spoken name, and stimuli related to her. Quian Quiroga links his discoveries to Funes' capacity to remember every detail. Funes was not able to generalise information: for him, every event and each subject, animal or thing was unique and dissimilar to everything else. Thus, one theory is that Funes would lack these "Jennifer Aniston"-type neurons.
There are many books on neuroscience and memory for non-scientists. Perhaps the most important contribution of Borges and Memory to the literature is the way it is written: straight from the gut of the scientist. Quian Quiroga recounts the scientific facts and the history of the discoveries with all the curiosity and the fascination of a scientist taking his first steps (even though he is a seasoned researcher). A reader who is a scientist may, like me, rediscover the feelings that inspire our quest for questions and answers. For non-scientists, this book is the perfect way to get inside the mind of a researcher: Borges and Memory is as interesting as it is inspirational.

Please read the following, which may help you determine if you qualify for the lower charge.
Surface water is rain or melted snow that drains from the roof of your property and other impermeable areas such as driveways. It normally drains into a highway drains or road gulley and then into our sewers. Sometimes the surface water drains into a soakaway in the garden.
A soakaway is a section of absorbent ground water drains into. However because it isn't visible, there will be no obvious signs that water from your property takes this route. You may need to check your property title deeds, or visit the local authority to have a look at the original Planning Application (if available).
If your foul water drains into a cesspit, septic tank or private drainage system, your bill shouldn't include a charge for sewerage service. The charge for surface water is included in the sewerage charge therefore no allowance will be given.
If you can show that none of the surface water from your property drains to the public sewerage system, either directly or through intermediate sewers or drains, you can reduce your fixed sewerage charge.
We may charge some customers for the water they use but another company will charge for water recycling services. If this is the case, please contact the other company directly for details of their charges.
If you pay the Rateable Value charge - your amended bill will show a charge for 'Foul only' instead of 'Foul and Surface' on the sewerage section of the bill.
If you pay by metered charges - your amended bill will show a charge for 'Foul only' instead of 'Foul and Surface' on the sewerage section of the bill. The fixed sewerage charges will appear lower over the billing year.
A reduced charge for non-connected properties was introduced in 2000 and since that date we have asked customers to let us know if their charge is incorrect. If the property was built after 2000 and you have never been connected to the surface water drains we will backdate the reduction up to maximum of 6 years or your occupation date, whichever is the lesser. This is on the basis we should reasonably have maintained records of your connection. If the property was built before 2000 we will backdate the reduction to the start of the 2013 financial year, on the basis it is not unreasonable that our records of your property do not include details of the basis of your connection.
You can ask for the decision to be reviewed by our Customer Relations team. In some circumstances we may arrange for a representative to visit your property to investigate further.

When it comes to ranking the most credible forms of advertising, word of mouth always comes out on top. That's because we trust people we know more than experts we don't know.
Why don't customers believe the experts?
Americans have always been a little skeptical of experts and the theories (or facts) they espouse. In fact, there's a theory called the "backfire effect" that suggests some people become even more convinced they are right when experts give them evidence disproving their beliefs.
For that reason, it's often better to let your product's story be told by a third party with whom a potential customer can identify. That third party may not be a university professor, but if he or she has worked in the trenches—perhaps just like your customer—then that person is granted automatic credibility.
Context and Credibility
Presenting your story in the form of a case study provides potential customers the ability to not only understand the product, but also redefine their expectations. Rather than believe a manufacturer's claims, which could be seen as hype, prospective customers often find it easier to believe the claims of an independent third party.

Family therapy is a way of working with families so that they can understand and deal more effectively with problems they may be experiencing. It can improve communication, help family members to understand one another better and overcome together the difficulties they are facing.
During Family therapy, the therapist talks to you about what's been happening. Then it's a good idea to talk the issues through with your family because the problems don't just belong to you. Your first thought may be that everyone will be mad at you. But hey how else can things get sorted?
If you think family therapy can help. Speak to someone at The Edge and they will tell you more about how we can help.

My Take: A Brief Confession
I get asked often what I believe about certain things. I've begun to put down some of my thoughts in a larger document. But for the time being this brief confession will stand. I also reserve the right to edit any portion of it at any point! :-)
I believe in God the Father creator of heaven & earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of the Father who shares the substance and ontological status of the Father. He is the promised Messiah of Israel.
I believe in the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of the Father and the Messiah.
I believe the Trinitarian equality of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I believe that Christ died for the entire world working the ransom of His covenant people and the eternal salvation of His elect.
I believe that God predestined the fall of man, the crucifixion of His Son and the grace of His election.
I believe that the Holy Spirit is given to the church to work out the election of God the Father through the powerful resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I believe that the Holy Spirit works out this election in the sacraments of the New Testament church.
I believe these sacraments are baptism and the Lord's Supper. Both are administered to all covenant members. This includes infants and children.
I believe these sacraments are a visible sign and offering of the eternal reality of Christ's death as a ransom for His covenant people.
I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, through His church and sacraments, is currently reigning upon the throne of David.
The reign of Christ will increase until the nations of the world bow the knee to Jesus Christ.
I believe that the new heavens and new earth have been renewed. Creation has begun again in Jesus Christ.
I believe that Jesus Christ will return to judge the living and the dead. He will restore creation and implement the perfection of the Torah on the hearts of God's people.
I await the consummation of history and the marriage supper of the Lamb.
For some the above did not delineate my theology in popular terms. I am a Trinitarian, Presbyterian, Paedocommunion, Preteristic, (this comma is apparently an "Oxford comma") and Postmillennial Christian.

Are you thinking of transforming your home with a whole new look and décor. Then the experts here at Just Add Shutters can surely help.

Attractive, elegant louvered shutters, plantation shutters are fast becoming the ideal solution for homeowners who are not only looking to amp up the décor of their homes with an elegant alternative to blinds or drapes, but are also looking for an energy efficient way to accomplish the task.
Plantation shutters gained their name because of their origination in the beautiful mansions of our southern states. They were initially created and designed to give shelter from the scorching hot temperatures and humidity in the summer months. They served to insulate any room against the direct heat and sunlight while still affording homeowners the comfort of air flow that kept living spaces cool and comfortable.
There are a variety of benefits to the installation of plantation shutters outside of the fact that they keep rooms comfortable and cool during the peak summer months, but they also keep the heat in during the bitter cold winter months as well. Plantation shutters of all sizes, are truly more effective and energy efficient that typical curtains and blinds which makes them very appealing to those families and homeowners who give focus to sustainable living and are driven to minimize energy consumption in their homes.
Father is the fact that plantation shutters are quite versatile and blend nicely in both modern and period homes, adding that perfect touch of style and grace to any living space. Traditionally, plantation shutters are white in color, but they can be painted in any shade you prefer so as to complement your existing home style and décor. Made of various materials such as waterproof vinyl and a wide range of wood options, plantation shutters are a unique and certainly a stylish addition to any living space.
Although plantation shutters cost a bit more than blinds, curtains or drapes, many homeowners of late have found favor with these extraordinary window treatments. Plantation shutters are a long-term investment that, once professionally installed, enhance and increase not only the appearance and décor of your home, but the overall value of the home as well.
Other Benefits of Plantation Shutters
Besides the elegant look and appearance, the fact that they provide cool and comfortable surroundings and the fact that they increase the value of your home, plantation shutters also present with a variety of other benefits. For starters, they are remarkably low maintenance when compared to the maintenance required for most other types of window treatments. Further, they afford homeowners privacy and a level of security as well, something we all want and value in our homes. In addition, these shutters also provide a degree of sound and thermal insulation as well as UV protection and a great deal of flexibility when it comes to light control in your living spaces. With your investment in plantation shutters you most assuredly add to the curb appeal of your home, especially if you are looking to sell it anywhere down the road. The benefits of plantation shutters, as you can see, far outweigh those of traditional window treatment options.

Getting back to Tegaki for some quick doodles once again. For the uninitiated, it's 'a blog where entries and comments are handwritten'. Sadly I've been neglecting my account for far too long it's gathered cobwebs in the meantime.
So here's a couple (2 to be exact) doodles I've made in tegaki (and then brought over to PS to polish up). I ought to find some time to brush the dust mites off my sketches and scan them. Before the silverfish or sunlight gets to them.
Been busy these couple of weeks doing various things. Went for Figure Drawing class (is 'class' even the right word?) at TISCH; attended the usual STGCC, Cosfest, etc; and will be taking up a sculpting class starting next month.
So expect more art-related posts from me in the future. Plus DIY tutorials if I manage to get some alone time. On the side note, I'm putting skincare/ cosmetic reviews on hiatus for the time being. More on that later, I ought to turn in now before the sandman catches up.

Big or small, busy restaurants will go through a tremendous amount of food to feed the hungry masses who file through their doors, be it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Nothing pleases restaurateurs more than seeing empty plates once diners have had their fill, knowing their meal creations have "hit the spot." Sometimes, however, eateries are so generous with their portion sizes that much of what's leftover gets tossed.
Food waste is a major issue, one that's been brewing for a long time now. According to the National Restaurant Association and the National Resources Defense Council, 40 percent of food that is produced is thrown out. Additionally, over 9 in 10 Americans trash perfectly fine food, wrongly believing that it's no longer safe to eat.
"Poor labeling may be responsible for much of the food that's wasted each year."
Kitchen staff sometimes make the same mistake, taking "sell by" dates too literally due to a food labeling system that the NRDC says is poorly regulated.
This issue may be coming to an end, as legislation is working its way through Congress that, if passed, would provide better guidelines regarding when food is no longer safe to eat.
"Contrary to popular belief, expiration date labels often don't indicate whether food is still safe to eat," said Dene Gunders, NRDC senior scientist. "As a result, we are tossing massive amounts of perfectly good food in the trash – along with all of the water, climate pollution, and money it took to get it to our fridge."
He added that the bill should provide consumers and restaurant professionals with the information they need to make smarter decisions both for their financial and physical well-being.
In the meantime, the National Restaurant Association has been tackling the food waste issue head on. Recently, NRA's sustainability director Laura Abshire held a workshop at Harvard University, providing tips on what food industry professionals can do to reduce food waste, helping them save money and natural resources in the process.
Here are a few of them, along with general tips from other industry experts:
1. Donate to relief organizations
Giving back in the community is an essential component to business ownership, both because it's the right thing to do but also for the sense of camaraderie that it engenders. Abshire recommended that restaurateurs partner with the Food Donation Connection, which serves as an intermediary between the dining industry and homeless shelters. Over 1.6 million food donations were made last year alone, according to the FDC's figures.
2. Don't worry about liability
What often prevents small businesses or franchises from making food donations is the concern that someone will get sick and decide to sue. However, what owners often fail to realize is there's legislation in place that protects them from litigation, called the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act. Passed in 1996, the bill guards donors from being prosecuted for food poisoning, so long as "gross negligence" can't be established.
3. Exercise portion control
Restaurants are known for providing their guests with more than enough to eat, ensuring diners get the most for their money. But this generosity may literally go to waste when plates come back to the kitchen uneaten or only pecked at. Take full advantage of portion control scales to ensure consistency, tailoring amounts on an as-needed basis.
4. Inventory, inventory, inventory
Establishing an inventory system – done on the same day on a weekly or bi-weekly basis – is crucial to determining how much food is needed when placing orders. Ideally, inventories should be done on or around the same time every seven to 14 days to see which items go the quickest and need to be replenished.
5. Keep kitchen equipment in good working order
Of course, refrigerators and freezers keep food fresher longer. But they'll have the opposite effect if appliances aren't properly maintained. Make sure they're serviced routinely and keep track of the temperature readings. For instance, refrigerated food should ideally be stored at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, check to see that deli slicers are sharpened so portion sizes are consistent.
Approximately 133 billion pounds of food that's produced per year is thrown away due to spoilage or premature discarding, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Through food conservation programs and donations, lawmakers hope to cut food waste in half by 2030.

A stark and stylistic hybrid of the Dardennes' formal austerity and Terrence Malick's lyricism, Kazakhstan director Guka Omarova's debut Schizo crafts a stirring portrait of economically disadvantaged people forced to survive by any means necessary on the edges of civilization. Having been expelled from school for fighting, sleepy-eyed 15-year-old Schizo (Olzhas Nussuppaev)—his nickname a derogatory reference to his alleged mental slowness—is given work by his mother's shady boyfriend Sakura (Eduard Tabishev) procuring brawlers for illegal fights. When one dying fighter asks Schizo, as a last request, to deliver money to his girlfriend Zinka (Olga Landina) and their son, the boy complies and, over time, becomes the father figure in their awkward but supportive familial unit. Yet trouble arises when Schizo, in a scheme to win some real money for himself, has his tough uncle enter the ring and brutalize a giant opponent, thereby earning not only a sizeable purse and a white Mercedes, but also Sakura and his crime boss's wrath. Omarova's opening shot of a boy (presumably Schizo) on a motorcycle in an expansive open field—first riding it with another person's help, then by himself—foreshadows the Schizo's difficult maturation, as well as highlights the oppressive emptiness of the land he inhabits. A flat, arid country littered with ramshackle dwellings and hollow husks of decrepit machinery, Schizo's harsh, unforgiving Kazakhstan is a natural setting for brutal bare-knuckle boxing matches, and cinematographer Khasan Kydyraliyev brings his cruel locations to life with a mixture of beautifully incongruous long shots (in which characters are dwarfed by their vast surroundings) and urgent hand-held close-ups. Populated with mostly non-professional actors whose guilelessness contributes to the film's coarse aesthetic, Omarova's film exudes a bleak realism even as it increasingly evokes Hollywood crime pictures (including double-crosses, daylight robberies, and murder), cute May-December romances (highlighted by Schizo's grope-heavy dance with Zinka), and, with its jarring finale, storybook optimism that, ironically, also serves as a fitting conclusion for such an emotionally and structurally schizophrenic film.

I thought I saw him this week – impossible, I thought, but it was his spitting image.
Lanky lean C was standing there for a moment at a market stall, silver-haired and self-satisfied, leaning forward, selecting artichokes from a bin. Always looking ahead to a superior home-cooked dinner.
Of course it was just a man from the same gene pool and the same generation, wearing the same brilliant white handlebar mustache. A Spaniard or Sicilian, no doubt, of a certain age, a man of regal bearing, a man with exaggerated style.
He saw me looking and stared back from behind his sunglasses, which, like the mustache and the pressed green-striped dress shirt, were sunglasses which C might easily have worn.
That's what did it. A visitation. It excited his ghost in me, and since then I can't get him off my mind.
I walk into shops we visited together. I talk to him while driving. I bought calamari in ink to make his Spanish Black Rice.
I saw his last companion sitting at a sidewalk café in town this weekend on the new moon, and told myself that it was a sign.
My friend and I were at odds during our last visit, but that did not question the love underlying. It strikes me as strange, but I never felt guilt.
I never doubted him, and looked for better days that never came.
A few Skype calls and he was gone forever. The family, ardently Catholic in a less imaginative way than C had been, kept us from marking the grave, from knowing anything more.
Is that why his ghost is so sociable? Is he restless? Or was he inevitably going to be in death as he lived life, a man about town, only with better vision?
I turn the chunks of tentacles and ink into the rice and stir it a few times until the white becomes awash in grays and blues, as he taught me.
There are a hundred metaphors staring back at me from the pot, like the all-seeing eyes of Argus, each one wearing sunglasses and laughing.

Reconciliation with the Past and Transitional Justice: Comparing Taiwan and Czechia
- Kde: Knihovna Václava Havla, Ostrovní 13, Praha 110 00
- Kdy: 14. prosinec 2017, 14:00 – 17:30
Taiwan and the Czech Republic share a legacy of troubled past. Although their transitions to democracy have been successful in many respects, in both countries the reflection of historical experience remains complicated.
In Taiwan, many unresolved issues of the past are being addressed only after Tsai Ing wen became president in 2016 and initiated a new approach to transitional justice. The speakers will discuss how controversial historical issues are reflected by collective memory and public debate in Taiwan, and how the country's past affects its present social and political trends. The discussion will then compare the reconciliation with the past in Taiwan and in the Czech Republic.
Roundtable co-organized by: Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office Prague & Oriental Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences
Prof Chen Fang-ming (Emeritus, National Chengchi University, Taiwan)
Prof Chang Chia-ming (Director, Central and Eastern European Center, Soochow University, Taiwan)
Prof Olga Lomová (Director, Institute of East Asian Studies, Charles University, Prague)
Mr Michael Žantovský (Director, Václav Havel Library)
14:00 – 14:05 Opening remarks by HE Representative Mr Wang Chung-I (Taipei Economic and Cultural Office)
14:05 – 14:10 Opening remarks by Mr Ondřej Beránek (Director, Oriental Institute)
14:10 – 14:25 Remarks by Mr Michael Žantovský
14:25 – 15:15 Keynote speech by Prof Chen Fang-ming
15:15 – 15:45 Coffee break
15:45 – 16:15 Speech by Prof Chang Chia-ming
16:15 – 16:30 Remarks by Prof Olga Lomová
16:30 – 17:25 Roundtable discussion
17:25 – 17:30 Concluding remarks
The event will be held entirely in English. Czech interpreting is not provided.

A better way to give birth [U.S]
Posted over 3 years ago by Nicholas M Perrino
"I would argue that as childbirth in the United States moved from the home to the hospital, mothers lost one of the most effective resources for healthy childbirth: midwives.
Midwives are trained professionals who specialize in pregnancy and childbirth. In most countries, they also provide prenatal and postnatal care. Midwifery has existed as an occupation for millennia. One of the first recorded references to midwifery is in the Ebers Papyrus from Ancient Egypt, which recognized midwifery as a female profession. In Ancient Rome, midwives were highly valued by their male doctor counterparts.
For the vast majority of women who die from childbirth in the world, access to doctors, hospitals and the latest medical interventions and technology would likely have saved their lives and the lives of their babies. The same is true for women with high-risk pregnancies. But for the 85% of American women every year whose pregnancies are considered low-risk, there need to be viable alternatives to standard hospital delivery practices.
Midwifery should be incorporated into pregnancy care at hospitals across the country, so expectant mothers can make a fully informed decision on how and where to give birth. True, the United States has better maternal care than many other countries. But to decrease our maternal mortality rates, midwives could be, for the U.S. health care system, just what the doctor ordered."

"I guess I should tell you right now, this is not the kind of story I'm known for: fantasy, action, comedy – though I guess it includes little bits of all of them. Mainly the story is about him. Batman. Or if not about him, he's a key player in the action." (p.2)
This is not a traditional Batman story, but it is a story about Batman. In fact, Batman is one of the characters although he doesn't fight crime in here. Dark Night: A True Batman Story is a very personal story about Paul Dini, an American writer and producer who is probably most famous for his work on Batman: The Animated Series. He also co-created the character Harley Quinn with artist Bruce Timm.
It is an autobiographical tale focusing on the period in Dini's life when he was working for Warner Bros. Animation in the 1990s. Walking home one night after a dinner date, he was mugged and violently beaten. It was a harrowing experience for Dini, one which left him with both physical and mental scars. This story can be interpreted as a way of exorcising some of the demons the mugging left him with.
"They're out there, somewhere, maybe attacking someone else right now. Or maybe coming back for another shot at me. They have my driver's license, my address." (p.105)
It's a brave tale, made more so because of its warts-and-all depiction of Dini. He doesn't shy away from showing his faults, his insecurities, even his bouts of self-pity. This adds realism as well as honesty to the story. It's refreshing to find such a candid portrayal of a successful artist who, outwardly at least, appears to be living the Hollywood dream.
But it's not all negative. There is a lot of humor in here too, especially the self-deprecating kind. Dini uses the graphic novel format to depict some of the Batman villains going head-to-head with him, like imaginary self-therapy sessions. These exchanges are very funny at times, as Dini tries to defend his lifestyle choices both before and after the mugging.
Co-worker: "Are you okay? That looks awful!"
Dini: "Yeah, but you should see what the other guys got!"
Joker: "His wallet and most of his dignity! Ha!" (p.76)
The art by Eduardo Risso is excellent and complements Dini's writing very well. It ranges from soft-palette watercolor paintings to the strong-line, gritty noir style he used to such good effect in the comic book 100 Bullets. The mugging sequence is particularly memorable, with Risso continually switching the viewpoint from the muggers to Dini as we experience each brutal blow. It is a powerful, painful, emotional scene that will pull you right into the story.
This is an honest, emotional, eye-opening portrait of the artist as a young man. It is sometimes painful, sometimes funny, and ultimately uplifting. Recommended for fans of the graphic novel medium who are looking for a different kind of Batman story, one which packs more than just the regular superhero punch.
