A smell so sweet yet so bitter
Perfume is an odd novel, slight in length, but deep.
Jean-Pierre Grenouille is born into the ordure of Paris though lacking any smell himself. His peculiar sense of smell horrifies midwives and priests and he finds himself abandoned. Moving from menial job to job, he finds himself drawn to a particular scent carried on the breeze. Following it he finds young lady whom he kills for her perfection, thus beginning his secondary career as a murderer. He joins the establishment of a perfume creator by reverse engineering the scent of a rival. He builds both of their reputations, garnering fame and wealth until he leaves the city. Having spent seven years in the wilderness, he comes back to the wealth of a court of lord. Grenouille decides to further his perfume teaching by travelling to a town specialising in perfume making. Once again he apprentices himself to a teacher and learns the finer arts of scent, enhancing his own nasal capacities. In paradise a canker must eventually come and once again he scents a perfect scent, hidden from view, launching him onto his final murderous spree. His capture allows him one more, orgiastic climax before his demise.
The Gothic, certainly the classic form, shouldn't work post-Northanger Abbey but in Suskind's hands it does wonderfully. The atmosphere is claustrophobic, compressing the reader into the psychotic world of our protagonists, mainly using the sense of smell.
What does seem to be missing from the reviews that I've read is the wonderful critique of capitalism that mirrors Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities and Easton Ellis's American Pyscho (though in this the murders are not in his head). Grenouille's savage chase of the scent seems analogous to the pursuit of wealth and the killer deal at all costs, though with the European Gothic's gallows humour.
This cult classic deserves more attention and I hope that the film will get a few more people reading the book.

My commentary on life as I see it... Are we on the outside looking in or trapped inside looking out?
Sunday, June 15, 2008
Ok, let's get serious
Ok, so I don't want my online presence to feel or sound like I'm some raving lunatic. I blame my ranting and hostile initial posts on the fact that Mercury has been in retrograde and everyone is a bit off when that happens. So, here's something I've been contemplating a bit lately. Is it or is it not necessary to self-analyze yourself in order to become enlightened? There are several people in my life who have conflicting opinions on this subject. My husband is on the side who thinks that we don't need to analyze ourselves in order to be self-aware and enlightened. And he doesn't indulge in the self-analysis. He is very in touch with the oneness of the Universe and has a very enlightened sense of being. One of my best friends believes that there's a bit of a need but that we shouldn't be so absorbed that we become obsessed in the analysis and therefore never progress past the point of analysis to actual enlightenment. She is very down-to-earth and things that come out of her mouth stop me in my tracks with their truthfulness and insight. My other friend is addicted to self-analysis and self-help in every form there is. He finds all the answers and has even realized that all the different experts have the exact same answers, simply wrapped in different packaging to appeal to different people. So, what is the truth? I guess I am sort of a fence-sitter on the subject. I was a debater and love to look at all sides of an idea or argument so self-analysis appeals to me on that level. However, there are certain things that I know in my heart and believe that I didn't have to go through any such analysis to know and believe. So, is the need for self-analysis as a tool to progress our souls to enlightenment a prerequisite or does the answer change for each individual? Is it like the self-help answers to the meaning of life that are Universal Truths just wrapped in different packaging? I know this, the answers are out there for us all to find and once we do it may not matter how we got there or what path led us to enlightenment, simply that we got there.

oh, is it too HARD?
What the fuck is up with people thinking that just because something might require some hard work on their part means that they just shouldn't do it? It is the most bizarre behaviour I have come across in years and I seem to be surrounded with these freaks! I want to scream at the top of my lungs: Are you or are you not an application developer who is being paid well to support an application and then want to complain about how much work all the projects are making you do and how you can't keep up with it all? Oh, and are you or are you not a project manager being paid probably more than I am for my system engineering job and then can't even put out minutes for your meetings that I'm required to attend and take up all of my time? Is this a professional company I work at or has everyone but me been taken over by the pod people? Case in point, I just sat in on an initial planning meeting for a project that half of the technical team CLEARLY doesn't want to do (poor babies!). Every high-level requirement that we were there to hammer out the tasks required to complete was met with a bombardment of rationalizing why we shouldn't do it because it was hard. HELLO FREAKS!!! Executive management has mandated that this shit be done in the next 3-6 weeks so quit your fucking bitching and get to work already!!!

The Other Boleyn Girl
This was my latest pick for the neighborhood book club - consisting of very conservative ladies from the neighborhood with very strick rules about the kinds of books we choose to read. These rules include (in no particular order) no swearing, no sex, no violence. Needless to say I am hard-pressed typically to find a book that I like, that presents options for discussion AND that fit into the nice little rule box. This time I had to pick a book that I had not read yet after finding that a couple of recommendations from others didn't pan out due to violence and sex. So, I pulled my latest "hey, I want to read that!" impulse buy out of the stack of books waiting to be cracked open and started in. When time was up on making a choice, I was about 90 pages in, it not only grabbed my attention but it had not an ounce of forbidden topics. WOOHOO! So, I announced it to the ladies with the disclaimer that I had not finished it. I went home after bookclub and the next day continued reading so I could complete it before the end of the month. To my horror - well, enjoyment really - the sex started! And it never ended the rest of the book. I spent the next 5 weeks until we met to discuss worried that everyone in the neighborhood would think I had broken the rules (who, me?!?) and done it on purpose, which of course I hadn't. Other than the fact that all the sex that Henry VIII was having during the Ann Boleyn era took on the role of another character in the book, it was a very interesting and entertaining look at the infamous time in English history. We had a very rousing discussion and even the ladies in the neighborhood had lots to talk about... without touching on the sex! One of the points that several folks had disagreement on was the author's portrayal of the King in the book. He was a very powerful historical figure who was described in this book as a very stumbling King who was easily manipulated by his court. There was also some intrigue as to the relationship of Anne Boleyn to certain members of her family that left much to discuss. For someone who's only knowledge of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII was that they were married and he cut off her head, it was a very enlightening read. Enjoyable reading with a little bit o'history mixed in! I recommend it... We are watching the movie tomorrow and we'll see if the movie is better than the book. What am I saying? The movie is NEVER as good as the book!
Birth of a blog
And so it begins... as with all journeys there must be a beginning so there can be a middle and an ending and thus so it is and will be with my little blogspot. I have always wished I could have a crystal ball or a fairy godmother to tell me my future that wasn't from the "hindsight" perspective. Maybe being able to post my journey and random thoughts as I travel it to the cyber-space universe will show a pattern to life? Or maybe it will just give me more crazy ideas for book plots that may or may not ever be written in my lifetime? Or maybe others will gain an insight on the window of my crazy soul by being allowed to witness my inner dialogue? For whatever reason you find yourself, here... enjoy. I will rant and I will rave and I will tell you all the things that I find to amuse myself as we travel together. And, let this be a warning that I will not hold back on the language I feel appropriate to the circumstances of life. Sometimes it will merely be PG-13 and others it may just not be suitable for all audiences.... because you're going to get me and woah, careful what you wish for folks! You may occassionally find tidbits of "family" life thrown in for a bit of seasoning but if you came here for cutsie family photos and yet another "look at how cute my kids and how great a life we have" blog then you've come to the wrong place. Welcome and hold on tight!

Dublin comedian Emma Doran's latest video is a timely one as she explain how to get your boyfriend to propose.
"It's a great time for people to get engaged," she says, as she provides a few solid tips to get that engagement over the line over the festive and New Year period.
She said: "Firstly, you need a biro, and you can draw a ring on to your engagement finger, just so he can become accustomed to something being on that finger."
The next step ups the ante a bit.
"While you're having a night in together, having a few cans, pop a diamond on the ring of the can."
Her logic - "It's all about positive brain training."
Also falling under the positive brain training banner is step number three, whilst feeling a bit worse for wear, play Florence Nightingale and bring pizza to your other half, whilst humming a few bars of 'Here Comes the Bride'.
The final step throws the art of subtletly and hinting firmly out the window.
She said: "When compiling a shopping list, you know, with things such as bread and milk, throw in 'engagement ring', just slip it in there. You'd be surprised the effect it has."
The number of engagements over the Christmas and New Year look set to rise dramatically with all of this solid advice...

Sustainable Ballard
Sustainable Ballard Festival spanned two days and was absolutely fabulous. Great weather (yet again! ) and visits from many sisters. We didn't have a booth this time, just a table, but we lucked out and got to be on the end and actually got a booth to ourselves anyway for Saturday. Sunday, we shared with Tina and Dawn of the American Lung Association.
Although we didn't physically share the booth with anyone, Marlo, Jessica, Amy and Sherry all stopped by on Saturday. Sarah, Lynn and Kelle all stopped by on Sunday.

LFCS seminar: Karoliina Lehtinen: A modal mu perspective on solving parity games in quasi-polynomial time
Jan 30, 2018
from 04:00 PM to 05:00 PM
|Add event to calendar
Parity games are infinite-duration games on finite graph, which arise at the intersection of logic, games and automata theory. The complexity of solving parity games -- i.e., deciding which player has a winning strategy -- is a long standing open problem. It is known to be quasi-polynomial in general, and polynomial for various restricted classes of parity games.
In this talk I present a modal mu account of the quasi-polynomial solvability of parity games, based on a new quasi-polynomial algorithm.
We will play a parameterised variation of parity games, called a k-register game, in which Player 0 has to produce a witness of her victory using a restricted amount of memory which depends on k. For every parity game there is a k such that solving the k-register game is equivalent to solving the parity game. We call this the register-index of a parity game and show that it is O(log n) in the size of the parity game.
This yields a quasi-polynomial algorithm for solving parity games, and a polynomial algorithm for solving games of bounded register-index. Showing that the descriptive complexity of parity games of register-index k depends on k, rather than on the number of priorities in the games then relates the quasi-polynomial solvability of parity games to complexity in the modal mu calculus.

Sage Teacher Spiritual Addiction Solution California
Sage Teacher Spiritual Addiction Solution
Woke at 3:30 AM overheated in a sweat.
3:00 to 4:30 AM This is the time when
The veil is the thinnest.
Between the conscious and the spirit world.
Capture this opportunity to feel and listen.
I'm taking notes to bring back with me to the sphere of day and night.
While becoming a sage one might notice the corporeal eyesight fading as the supernal vision sharpens. Beholding the green and blue beauty of the earth can be quite breathtaking it's true, but when the time is right to catch a glimpse behind the veil, it wakes me up.
I to want to appreciate it when I come to during the witching hours.
Craving truth, I rise quietly to position myself into the flow of reading, writing, receiving or recording the messages that are afloat in the air around me.
Knowing I am Divinely guided, I rise from my soft, warm bed to gather my animals and proceed to my place of meditation and study.
Opaque watercolor 1800 India depicts a group of women visiting the sage Rishyashringa. The scene reflects a custom wherein the people went to the holy men to secure children, good health, prosperity, and other manifestations of good fortune.
The story depicted here is one of the women sent by the king to seduce this person of spiritual power. This groups of finely dressed women approach with food arranged on leaves in their outstretched hands. They intend to lure him away to their kingdom where they are in a drought in need of rain.
Using words to describe this message can take away the depth.
But Briefly:
Women and their feminine wiles
The King's knowledge and use of the women's efficacy
Capturing spiritual solution by exercising our earthly tools
Art of War on Active Addiction
Recognize reality. Like in the Art of War
Take an inventory.
Take stock of what you have.
Work Smart.
As we Wake up
Addicts want to give and receive love efficiently.
Know this is the truth of most every being.
Use this Knowledge of the need for love.
Addicts need to get clean and sober.
Active addiction is a spiritual and social death.
Often physical death is a part of active addiction.
Do you need a Sage to learn how to live life clean and sober?
Does your family need a sage teacher to learn how to help the addict you love?
Comfortable medical detox. Professional Therapeutic Rehab
Taking stock, I use this story – a placeholder
(Getting the dog and cat as I travel from the bed to the chair.)
For some time now my office has been a lazy boy recliner with multi-level air desk and tables all within reach. Of course with the plushest blankets and pillows.
The sage teacher – seeker has learned to keep the body cushioned and ready to be heated or cooled in the most soothing positions. The body complains loudly drowning out the still small voice if the creature comfort demands are left unattended.
All electric foot, neck, and back adjustments are more of the gifts I provide.

2 bathrooms and a kitchen column were painted by 360 Painting
The painter did an excellent job, excellent attention to detail and he went above and beyond to ensure all edgings were exact and the previous dark paint was not visible especially in the hard to reach areas by the ceilings edge. The owner of 360 Painting was fantastic with her understanding and advice on staging and painting a unit for eventual sale. Very professional!
Was this review helpful?
- Company Response
Thanks Andrea, it was a pleasure painting your condo. We look forward to working with you in the future!

Since the turn of the century, no one's dominated the legislating landscape quite like House Speaker Frank Chopp.
In his reign, the Seattle Democrat has thwarted Republicans, frustrated governors and, at some point, angered most if not every member of his caucus the past 18 sessions for quashing one or more of their initiatives.
Under the Capitol dome, his wizardry of the political craft is unequalled. He became co-speaker in 1999 when the two parties shared power. He's been the only Speaker since 2002 and is the longest to serve in the post in state history.
There are whispers he'll quit when his term ends this year — which makes him laugh.
"I clearly am going to run for re-election," he said in a recent conversation. "Absolutely."
There were few other absolutes in a dialogue including the House's handling sexual harassment allegations and whether he's ever been accused of inappropriate behavior.
Here are excerpts, edited for clarity and space.
Q: What was your reaction when House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen's revealed earlier this month that he was sexually harassed?
A: That was news to me. I think other people were surprised as well
Q: Has any House member been accused of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior since the session began?
A: No. Listen, we take this issue very seriously and will take appropriate action if we need to. We have to work very strongly to prevent sexual harassment or any other kind of harassment. That means not only that we have the right policies — and it appears that we have pretty strong policies — but we need regular and ongoing training to make clear what is appropriate and what is not appropriate.
Q: What more do you see the House doing?
A: We're interested in the idea of having a place outside the Legislature that staff, members and lobbyists could go if they have a concern or complaint. You have to work out details of how it would be structured, how it would run, how would we pay for it and would they have any legal authority. You want to make sure the person has a place to go and there is a person who can work with them in good faith to address it.
Q: Several women have accused former Democratic lawmaker Brendan Williams (2005-10) of sexual harassment and assault. I've been told some House leaders were concerned enough about his behavior that they spoke with him. Did you ever talk to him?
A: We did not hear about those complaints until it came out. I mean, look, there's been lots of people interacting with Brendan over the years, I didn't interact with him much. I don't know if you remember but he was not necessarily my greatest fan. I didn't talk to him much.
Q: Have you ever been accused of inappropriate behavior?
A: Not that I am aware.
Q: OK, let's finish with the big question on many minds: Is this your last session?
A: I clearly am going to run for re-election. Absolutely. I am so excited about the issues that I have been involved in.
Q: Why do the rumors persist?
A: They've been going on for at least 12 years. That's when a state senator made a pronouncement that "Frank will be retiring for sure this year." I laughed. I said, "We'll see." It's just gossip. I am very excited about the work we're doing. I've got so much energy it's ridiculous.

How to Get Away With Murder star Karla Souza is featured in the February 2017 issue of Glamour México y Latinoamérica.
The first time I interviewed Karla Souza was for the second season of the HTGAWM. By then, the world already knew her, as she starred in Los Nobles, one of the highest grossing films in Mexico, that catapulted her career to the top.
A few years later we speak again, now as our cover girl in Glamour, and Karla is a different woman. Currently, her work schedule is divided between Mexico and the United States, she is married, she has become a source of total inspiration (if you need a confidence boost, do not miss her TED Talk). She has more than one million followers together on Twitter and Instagram , who follow their adventures closely; It is on How to Get Away with Murder series, where he works with producer Shonda Rhimes and Oscar – nominated actress Viola Davis and last but not least, she starred in the highest grossing 2016 Mexican film, ¿Qué culpa tiene el niño?
Hot to Get Away With Murder airs Thursdays at 10/9c on ABC.

Music fair - Off The Page Oslo:
Nakama Records
Nakama Records was founded as a musicians' collective in 2015. The label arranges concerts and releases selected projects of the collective's musicians, each of whom are connected to the expansive band Nakama. The term Nakama is Japanese and in Japanese writing written like: 仲間. The word itself can be translated into «peer» or «comrade», and sums up the philosophy of a non-hierarchic label with respect for each member's musical agenda, but with a common goal to feed the world with creative, ground breaking, alternative music.
The label's first release was «Nakama - Before the Storm», a conceptual approach to the phenomena of silence in improvised and composed music. As for 2016 the label will release 5 new albums starting off with a solo album with Christian Meaas Svendsen followed by a duo with Andreas Wildhagen and Andreas Røysum, then a new release with Nakama entitled «Grand Line» taking on the parameter «form» as a parent theme, a violin duo with Adrian Løseth Waade and Håkon Aase and lastly a solo/duo/trio-album featuring Ayumi Tanaka and one or two more pianists yet to be announced.

Yeh Hai Mohabbatein 10th October 2017 Written Episode Update: Bhallas celebrate Karwachauth
Yeh Hai Mohabbatein 10th October 2017 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Parmeet telling Ishita that he asked a broker to show house to Nikhil. Ishita thanks him for helping, when its not his duty, it will be tough to manage in one BHK. Parmeet thinks if Simmi saw the message or not. Simmi and Ruhi see Nikhil and greet him. They come home and ring bell. Ishita says I will see. Parmeet says no, I will see. Ishita goes and opens the door. Parmeet worries and calls out Ishita. He acts to be hurt. Ishita stops and asks what happened. Simmi sees her and they leave.
Ishita asks how did this happen. He says table corner has hit. She goes to check at the door. She says there is no one here, how did bell ring. He says kids are naughty, they ring bell and hide. She asks him to take care and leaves. Simmi, Nikhil and Ruhi hide and look on.
Mr. Bhalla and Appa come home. Mr. Bhalla asks Mrs. Bhalla about sargi items. He asks Mihika to make tea. Mrs. Bhalla says Amma went to her sister's house, is she fine. Appa says yes, she told me to get sargi items for Kiran, I don't know this. She says your bahu is mine, send her to me, I will explain her. Appa says I don't know Kiran will keep fast or not. Kiran comes and asks do you think this about me, I love Bala a lot, I got you all, I will surely keep the fast. They smile. Appa blesses her. Raman, Romi and Adi come. Romi asks do we have kitty party. Mrs. Bhalla says its Karwachauth preparation. Raman says men can have other ways to show love for wives. Kiran says we will keep fasts. Raman asks her to think well before keeping fast. She says even Ishita will keep fast. Bala comes and asks what is she saying, she is keeping fast, then he has to keep fast as well to show he loves his wife, Raman also keeps fast.
Raman says I do this as dad does. Romi asks Bala not to trap him. Mihika says Romi see they are keeping fast. Aaliya says even Mani keeps fast, but Adi gets work home, he can't keep fast. Raman asks Adi is his wife upset. Ishita comes and asks Adi to keep fast for his wife. Romi says no, I get much hungry. Ishita says its test of love, you have to do this Adi, its your and Aaliya's first Karwachauth. Adi says its blackmailing. Ishita says I m your mum and have this right. Mrs. Bhalla asks them to sleep and wake up at 4am.
Aaliya talks to Shagun and asks her not to worry for anything. Adi says all women keep fast for their husband's long life. He holds Aaliya and shows the new earrings. He asks her to wear it tomorrow. Aaliya says fine, shall I go now. He asks her to leave anger now, he spoke rudely, sorry, will we fight on Karwachauth day. She says its okay, I was not annoyed with you, when I get angry on you, I don't like it, I have to get mehendi applied now. He says listen, you have food when you get hungry. She says so sweet, but I won't do this, I will follow all rituals, even you will follow, else I will tell Ishita. Adi says I will die hungry. She asks what. He says I was saying, I will die if I cheat and have food. She asks about moon sighting timings. He says its at 9. She wishes him all the best.
Everyone eats the sargi. Mrs. Bhalla asks Ishita to feed Aaliya. Mrs. Bhalla feeds Kiran. Mr. Bhalla is glad. Raman says feed us also, we are also from this house. Mr. Bhalla asks her not to keep fast, her BP gets high, she is his life, her smile and health increases his life. They smile. Ishita says he is right. Mrs. Bhalla agrees. Mr. Bhalla asks Romi to have food well, he won't eat anything in day. Parmeet comes there.
Simmi asks you here… He says I got sargi for you. Simmi says I kept fast for Ananya, she was asking me seeing you all. Mrs. Bhalla says you did good. Parmeet asks can we have food in room with Ananya, she will be glad. Mrs. Bhalla sends them. Simmi says this is Ruhi's room, she would be sleeping. Ruhi opens the door. Simmi compliments her. Parmeet gives the sargi to Ruhi and says Nikhil has sent this. Ruhi thanks him. Simmi asks how will you break fast. Ruhi says women break fast by seeing photo when husbands are not present. He gives sargi to Simmi and asks them to take care. He goes out and hears them. Ruhi says he changed a lot. Simmi says it happened because of Ananya, he has become my good Param ji, I feel Nikhil is also a good man, he is Riya's dad, child's love can change a person. Ruhi says I wish everyone thought so. Parmeet thinks Simmi doesn't know what I added in sargi. He goes.
Ishita comes to Raman. He asks her to close eyes. She laughs and says you got gajra for me. He gives her gajra. He says sorry, I didn't get any other gift. She says I m happy that Ruhi is happy and busy in work, you are happy, that's my gift, thanks. He hugs her. Mihika comes and says sorry, did I disturb, I came to say Romi planned some games to pass time, come downstairs. She laughs and goes.
They all come for the game. Ishita smiles seeing the family. Ruhi joins the carom game. Romi feels hungry. Mihika asks Adi to play. Mrs. Bhalla calls Ruhi and asks her to have fruits. Ruhi thinks how can I eat, but everyone will know if I don't eat. She says I feel acidity, I had cold milk, I will have it later. Ishita asks will you have medicines. Ruhi says I have to make presentation and goes.
Ishita asks Ruhi did you keep Karwachauth fast and lie, you are meeting Nikhil. Ruhi says I love Nikhil, I will meet him and keep fast, do anything you want.

Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots has three overall awards categories. The first, general, category gives bronze, silver and gold awards to the best school projects to commend your hard work. The second category is the prestigious The Jane Goodall Award for Individual Endeavour sponsored by Quest Overseas, and our third category is for Best Photographic Entry.
This year each of the winning schools at the Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots Annual Awards will receive a free 12 month subscription to National Geographic Kids magazine, and a copy of the brilliant new Weird But True 2018 Annual from National Geographic Kids books, packed with the planet's wackiest facts and strangest true stories!
What are the Prizes for the General Awards Category?
Bronze Award
All schools that submit a project post will automatically be eligible for a Bronze Award certificate personalised with the details of your school.
Silver Award
Projects that show special merit and initiative will be awarded a personalised Silver Award certificate. Both Bronze and Silver award winners will be considered for Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots Annual Award and you may be invited to attend the prestigious Awards Ceremony in March.
Gold Award
Projects that incorporate work on all three aspects of Roots & Shoots will be awarded a personalised Gold Award certificate. The schools who have submitted these projects will be automatically invited to the Roots & Shoots Annual Award Ceremony in March where students will have the opportunity to present their projects and meet Dr. Jane Goodall in person before an overall winner is announced.
How do I submit a project entry?
To submit a project for consideration, simply register and log-in to the Roots & Shoots website and post a story for your school. You can post as many project updates as you wish!

If you are having trouble posting your story then drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com or ring us on 020 7078 4064 and we will help you through the process of making your first post.
Remember, your projects need to demonstrate how you have made a practical, positive difference to either people, or animals, or the environment. If you can show how you have helped to make the world a better place for one or even two of the above, then you will be eligible for a bronze or silver award. If however, you wish to be considered for a Gold Award you must demonstrate that you have made a positive difference to all three aspects – for people, animals and the environment.
How do I Enter the Photographic Competition

"Louise is known to frequent the Shettleston and Cumbernauld areas as well as Glasgow City Centre.
"Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101."

I am back with my another post and today I am going to tell you a few places that you can visit if you are in Ahmedabad. Last month amid Diwali time, I had been for a mini weekend vacation with my family to Ahmedabad🙂. Located on the banks of Sabarmati river and a former capital city of state Gujarat, Ahmedabad is considered to be one of the fastest growing cities in India.
As I had a very less time, I visited a few yet some of the most important tourist places. My first destination wasSabarmati Ashram( Also called as Satyagraha Ashram) , which is a must visit place in Ahmedabad. Once upon a time the great Indian freedom fighter, Father of our Nation Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi stayed there with his wife Kasturba Gandhi. This place emerged as a national monument as Mahatma Gandhi started his journey from this very place to free our country and played a very significant role in India Independence movement. The entry to this Ashram is absolutely free and it is open from 8am to 7pm. This Ashram preserves the Charkha ( the spin wheel) that was used by Gandhiji. It displays the activities that were carried on by Gandhiji and his followers, his life stories, his work and a chance to see his house where he lived with his wife.
Our next destination wasLaw Garden. A small walk and lots of talk was all that we needed at that time 😃😊. After that we went for some street shopping just outside the law garden. It was very much crowded 🤨 and mostly all stalls use to open in evening. Then we headed to Manek chowk for some delicious street food 🍕🍛🍰. We ordered pizza, sandwiches, dosa and Amdavadi style Chocolate Rabdi Cheese sandwich as our dessert. If you are a foodie and would love to try different cuisines, you must try this place for street food in Ahmedabad 🙂.
The next day we decided to go toAdalaj Stepwelllocated in the village of Adalaj. The stepwell is five stories deep, intricately carved and built in sandstone.
In the evening we chose to visitSabarmati Riverfrontand mind you it was one of the awesome and peaceful places, I have been in that city. The view of river Sabarmati and the peace that I felt as soon as I enter is incredible 🤩. You can also enjoy riding in a speedboat there. Though, I didn't get a chance to ride in it, as a few local visitors were breaking the queue, pushing others and were creating problems. I chose to step back as I wasn't in a mood for this fuss 🤫. Otherwise, I have no complaints and one must visit this place and shouldn't miss it. Considering this as one of the most recommended tourist places, the Government should appoint some employees here to manage things properly.
The last place that I had visited wasKankaria Lake. This is the second largest lake in Ahmedabad and has attractions such as toy train, water rides, a zoo and food stalls. We didn't stayed there for much time and sat for only 15 minutes and enjoyed the evening view 😊.

At first glance, this seems like an unusual question. There is some truth to the claim that hormonal contraceptive cause cellulite. Although there are few studies linking the medication to cellulite, it is safe to assume that it is possible. Cellulite can be caused by hormonal changes or an increase in estrogen. Lifetime events like breastfeeding or pregnancy can also lead to the formation of cellulite. Since some birth control pills mimic these situations, they could logically lead to cellulite.
How Hormonal Contraception Works?
Hormonal contraception is often used to prevent pregnancy, induce normal menstrual cycles and solve skin problems. It works by stopping the body from ovulating. Since an egg is never released, it cannot be fertilized by sperm. The majority of hormonal contraception on the marketplace work by manipulating estrogen and progestin levels. It stabilizes the natural production of estrogen and does not allow it to peak in the middle of the cycle. Without this peak, the body does not release an egg.
These pills make the pituitary gland stop making follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. The synthetic progestin in the pill aids this process and also makes the uterus inhospitable to an egg. Most birth control pills contain estrogen and progestin or just progestin. In laymen's terms, these pills prevent pregnancy by making the woman's body think it is already pregnant. Although this prevents conception, it can cause changes in hormones that promote cellulite formation.
What are the Side Effects of Hormonal Contraception?
Prescriptions for hormonal contraception often include a list of side effects. These side effects may include:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stomach cramps
Women may experience significant weight gain, increased appetite, constipation or unusual hair growth. In severe cases, side effects may include severe vomiting, speech problems or chest pain. If women experience severe side effects or think a symptom is caused by hormonal contraceptives, they should always talk to their doctor immediately. Only a trained medical practitioner can decide if a side effect needs medical attention.
Although there are many possible side effects associated with birth control, many women are concerned primarily with weight gain and cellulite. These can potentially occur when someone takes birth control pills. Any changes to a woman's natural hormonal cycle can lead to weight gain. With added weight and increased fat cells, it is easier for cellulite to form.
Can it Cause Cellulite?
The short answer is 'YES'. There is no guarantee that hormonal contraception will cause cellulite. In most cases, it creates a situation where cellulite is more likely. By changing the body's hormonal levels, hormonal contraception can increase the chances of weight gain and cellulite. This may not happen to everyone, but it is a possibility.
How Can Someone Treat or Prevent this Issue?
Treating cellulite from hormonal contraceptives can be done. Women can adopt fitness routines, undergo medical procedures or make dietary changes. They can also consider new birth control methods. Condoms and diaphragms both limit the risk of pregnancy without changing hormone levels. Since this is a highly personal choice, each woman must make the decision with the help of her doctor.
In order to prevent cellulite, women can avoid taking hormonal contraception. If they plan on taking birth control pills, they can prevent the accumulation of cellulite by working out regularly. Some studies have indicated that a healthy, balanced diet can also limit the formation of cellulite.
There is no single cause of cellulite. From genetics to lifestyle factors, many different causes have been identified as possible. Although hormonal contraceptives have not been proved to cause cellulite, the hormonal changes they enact have been linked to cellulite.

Research Highlight
Summer Research Programs
Students who wish to use the Widener facilities for self-driven research or to focus on a joint research project with faculty over the summer months may apply for free summer housing through the university's Summer Research Program.
Undergraduate research is a fundamental component of the biology program at Widener. Opportunities exist for student-led research and assisting distinguished faculty members in their own work.
Some undergraduates have studied the development of fish muscles under different temperature environments, while others have looked into the complexities of plant-pollinator networks in urban ecosystems.
Featured Research Projects
Iman Elkhashab '19
Iman received a grant from the Richard S. Weinmann Endowed Student Research Fund to study how plant microbiomes affect host characteristics with Dr. Janice Krumm. Iman, a dual degree major in biology and French with a minor in biochemistry, has been doing research in the Krumm lab since her freshman year. She chose to work with Dr. Krumm because of the integration of many biological fields that allows her to learn a variety of scientific techniques. She has embraced the opportunity to design and carry out her own research projects. Iman is planning to attend medical school and pursuing a career in biomedical research.
Leena Kasa '19 & Amina Mason '19
Leena and Amina have been working with Dr. Cary Leung since their freshmen year on a variety of projects including the study of stress on cortisol levels in fish and the effects of stress on neural activity in zebra finches. Specifically, they are using antibody staining to label neurons that were "turned on" by a stressful event. They will present their research at the Widener Summer Research Symposium as well as at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in Washington, DC. Leena is planning to attend medical school after graduation, and Amina is planning to attend graduate school.
Nicole Gilette '16
Nicole was awarded a Clinton Global Initiative grant to study the effects of the pesticide glyphosate found in Roundup on crayfish. Her senior thesis project with Dr. Itzick Vatnick involves analyzing the growth, metabolism, and levels of triglyceride, protein, and glucose on crayfish exposed to glyphosate. Nicole, a double major in biochemistry and biology, presented her results at the national American Society of Cell Biology Meeting in December 2014. This experience helped her be selected for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Exceptional Research Opportunities Program (HHMI EXROP) at Boston Children's Hospital.
Shijo Benjamin '17
Shijo has worked alongside Dr. Hemlata Mistry, assistant professor of biology, to examine how the genetic material of fruit flies with wounded nervous systems can provide insight into how humans respond to spinal cord injuries. Shijo, a biochemistry major, has been assisting in this research since he was a freshman. He chose to focus on Mistry's project because of its potential implications for the medical field. With support from a recent fellowship grant, Mistry hopes to take Shijo with her to the Annual Drosophila Research Conference or "fly meeting" to present their work.

Well. Not really, It's addressed to me, sort of.
I'm fortunate enough to have my full name as my email address. It's a double-edged sword though. The problem is, that other people think that they have the same email, twitter, instagram etc. as me.
We all get spam, It's just a lot of mine is meant for someone else.
I've seen one Peter Costello's circumstances change dramatically, another get promoted to a Major in the army, another have continual mobile phone problems and yet another who often plays tennis at the country club. All of whom I reply to, or reply to their friends and inform them of the mix up.
Today though, I got a piece of email for yet another Peter Costello that contained this Rad image and it's awesome! After explaining to the sender that it had come to the wrong address I asked what it was. It's a water pump.
Technical drawings of water pumps are awesome!!! I can't wait to show it to the lad and explain that it shows how to make something. Just like Lego instructions. Awesome!
Inspiration is everywhere. Sometimes even in spam.

Treyarch studios has finally released the fourth and final DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3: Salvation. This DLC pack, like all the others before it, includes four new maps and a new zombie mode that will probably finally end the backstory of the zombie mode that's been in every Treyarch game since World at War.
See Also: Treyarch Shares Info for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Salvation DLC
Black Ops 3: Salvation has been promoted for a pretty long time ever since the third DLC, Descent, was released back in July (for Playstation 4) and August (for the Xbox One and PC). Each of the DLC packs have also had a zombie map accompanying them, each of which brought more and more crazy stuff in the zombie mode's story and gameplay. Descent, for instance, had the Gorod Krovi map, where the four main characters were dumped into an alternate Stalingrad that involved dragons, mecha, and cyborg zombies.
Black Ops 3: Salvation is a 13 gigabyte download that you can buy for 14.99 US dollars, or free if you bought the Season Pass.
In addition to the new zombies map, called "Revelations", Salvation includes the maps Citadel (where an ancient army once made its base in an enormous castle), Micro (where you do battle on a picnic table), Outlaw (taking place in a Wild West town) and Rupture (the sight of a futuristic device intended to repair the Earth's atmosphere.)
Salvation has been available for the Playstation 4 playerbase for the past month, ever since September, but players on the Xbox One and PC versions of the game are now going to be able to play it.
Considering that Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered are both coming out around this time next month, however, players that want to take full advantage of Salvation are going to have to do a lot of playing.

Free radical polymerization of multivinyl monomers yields crosslinked networks. Recently, by enhancing deactivation during atom transfer radical polymerization (deactivation enhanced reversible deactivation radical polymerization) it has been possible to obtain three-dimensional single chain self-cyclized (or knotted) polymeric architectures. Such particles are a chimera of microgels and arborescent polymers with a more controllable topology.
The goal of this thesis is to synthesize single chain nanoparticles of based on divinyl monomers of different hydrophilicity via single electron living radical polymerization in water strongly driving the equilibrium to the dormant species. The particles will be studied by light scattering (in solution) and by atomic force microscopy upon adsorption to substrates. The prepared coatingd will subsequently be explored as antifouling coatings for urinary catheters.
You should be highly motivated and be interested polymer and colloidal chemistry as well as biointerfaces. Good communication skills and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team are required.

Doing it with style
Ok, this one is just for fun to show that it can be done .. well almost.
This is a basic html image map with hover effect using just CSS that works in all the latest browsers except Internet Explorer IE8/9/10/11 which sees this as a plain image map with no hover effect, so it still works in these browsers.
The other 'problem' is that it does not validate because of the addition of a <span> element within the <map> element which only allows the <area> elements.
So if you are using Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera, just hover the six shapes of the menu to see that shape change color and show a text caption in the central area of the image map.
Because of all the time and effort spent in producing this demonstration I would ask that you respect my copyright.
Your donations keep CSS PLAY running.
If your donation is for the use of a demo then please email me with the demo url after making your donation.

I have some fantastic friends. The newly married McCrees rank quite highly among them. If you've been following my blog for a while now, you might remember that I dedicated a few days of blog posts to them, which you can read here:
Day 119: A Story For The Grandchildren (PART ONE)
Day 120: A Story For The Grandchildren (PART TWO)
Day 121: A Story For The Grandchildren (PART THREE)
So it's now a month and a half since Jon and Hannah got married and yesterday, I helped them move into their new house. For the last year and a half they've been living a fair way away, but yesterday they moved back into the area and excitingly, back into the community. It's pretty cool! We've missed them.
Whilst we managed to transport everything from the van to their third-floor flat (using a skinny set of stairs) in fairly good time, it was anything but easy. In particular, a rather large sofa and a monster of a wardrobe caused us some considerable issues…but despite the aching muscles today (for me at least), we did it! In what appears to be becoming a bit of a 'thing' at the moment, here are a few observations from helping Jon and Hannah move into their house:
1. We can't do everything on our own.
The sofa and wardrobe would have been physically impossible to move alone…short of taking them apart completely. This isn't profound but it is important: we can't do everything on our own. As I said in yesterday's post, sometimes we need to ask for help in order to grow and learn, but sometimes a task is completely impossible without the direct input of other people. I have to admit to being guilty of occasionally trying to go it alone before realising that I'm woefully dependent on other people's skills and abilities to do what I want to do with any kind of excellence. Utilise the strengths of your family, friends and colleagues (without taking advantage of them) if you want the best possible outcome in a given situation.
2. We can't predict the future.
When I met Hannah, I was actually flying to Chicago to visit her friend, Anna. As Hannah came out of the car at Chicago's O'Hare airport to shake my hand and introduce herself to me, I had no idea that less than two years later, she'd be married to a friend of mine and living less than a two-minute drive from the house that many of my earliest childhood memories reside. Despite my best intentions and keenest intuition, I couldn't possibly have predicted that outcome.
Another thing I'm guilty of: planning my future to the letter. I like to know exactly what I'm going to be doing, when I'm going to be doing it. I like to know where I'm going, how I'm going to get there and every step required along the way. Are you a bit of an obsessive future planner too? If so, remember that we can't predict the future! Yes, maybe some things are inevitable. I can predict that I probably won't have any food with tomato or cheese in it during the next six months. I don't like either of them, so it's fairly likely that I'll be correct. But I don't know where I'll be in five years or where life will take me. It's pretty likely that you don't either! Relax in the knowledge that we don't have full knowledge of the future and focus on enjoying the present.
3. Community is incredible.
Do I really need to reiterate this? I'm so grateful for the Kerith Community Church community. It makes not predicting my future and enjoying the present so much easier!
