5 Invitation Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is our great pleasure and privilege to invite you to London in May 2015 to take part in the 52 nd congress of ERA-EDTA. The Society is planning a meeting of outstanding scientific interest and quality in the world-famous city of London. The Congress is being held in partnership with the UK Renal Association and other international Societies and the Scientific Programme will benefit greatly from their contribution and collaboration. The meeting will be held in the ExCeL Congress Centre to the East of London, not far from London City Airport, the Olympic Site and Canary Wharf. Hotels will be available locally and mostly within 20 minutes walking distance from the Congress Centre. The scientific programme has been meticulously prepared and organised by the Scientific Committee. As ever, it will allow for major coverage of the main clinical areas of interest for practicing nephrologists, and it will also feature cutting-edge scientific discoveries. Translational research has as usual a prominent part in the programme, and special thought and attention has been paid to chronic kidney disease, geriatric nephrology, and other important clinical areas. There will be an extended CME programme at the day of the opening ceremony, as usual one of the jewels in the crown of ERA-EDTA Congresses, and within that programme there will be many presentations from the ERA-EDTA working groups. As always, the late breaking clinical trial session promises to be exciting and stimulating. The Young Nephrologists Platform will also be prominent in the Congress programme. As last year, we also plan to continue collaboration with The Lancet. The theme for the Congress is the River Thames itself. Evocatively once dubbed Liquid History, the river has seen many of the most famous and memorable people and occasions over the last few centuries. The river wends its careful way from a rural setting right into and across one of the world s most famous and vibrant cities. Ebbing and flowing like our scientific knowledge-base, the river commands respect and admiration in equal measure. We hope that the river can symbolise constancy and change, as we face the implacable often obdurate challenges deriving from both acute and chronic kidney disease with unceasing optimism and vigour. We are all really hoping you will find the city welcoming, the programme exciting, the company stimulating and the experience enriching. We look forward very much to welcoming you to London in May 2015 for the 52 nd ERA-EDTA Congress Andrzej Wiecek David Goldsmith Ziad Massy ERA-EDTA President 52 nd Congress President Chair of the Scientific Committee 3

So the games should be fun to watch and big enough for a massive crowd to find out what's happening. Games like QWOP and Surgeon Simulator 2013 are uniquely frustrating games that are attractive to a particular set of gamers specifically, those people who are interested conquering an obtuse set of controls to be able to prove they are the master of their very own reflexes. A lot of people may notlike this game whatsoever, but if you've got a taste for the absurd and a fair quantity of patience, Octodad is absolutely worth a go. In spite of those added modes, it's thankfully a rather short game.
People today buy the latter sort of game, Williams stated. Something which's important of any challenging game is a sense of fairnessthe player should comprehend the reason why they died and have a relative comprehension of what it is that they might have done to block it. It will likely be different as it's a much bigger, slower-paced game," Williams states.
Foddy's games are featured in many media outlets. Unblocked games have gotten popular recently. So if you're searching for an intriguing game to play together with a friend then this would be well worth checking out. It's touted among the greatest Mario games ever.
At the close of the day your game needs to be good. These games are really proper for these video sharing platforms since they're so tricky. It's a game about a dummy which you need to get to the peak of a giant rock.Sprinter Game
The player usually manipulates something physical, like a joystick or a string of buttons or keys, to be able to interact with the images on the monitor. At first, he is only introduced to this mechanic as a way to redo an otherwise fatal jump or action rather than start over from the beginning of the level. Players may move upon the puzzle grid clockwise or counter-clockwise, turning the sausage above a grill to receive it completely cooked on either side. Now available on Steam, they assume the role of a small man stuck on a vast island. In Resident Evil, by way of example, the player is coerced into certain perspectives since they enter various rooms. When buying players you ought to search for players that won't only be better than the present player in that position, but should also boost chemistry. Many players might easily push through the story in one session, so if you're the kind of person who views game experiences as one-and-done, then this isn't for you.
The video game is a rather new genre. In this way, it is an extension of the body as McLuhan suggested, lending itself a physical understanding of the world inside the video game. If you become tired of the major game, there are a couple of variant modes it is possible to pick from to mix things up, some more fun than others. It looks like it's a very good game to perform for different folks, although that was not the major intent of the plan. Therefore, if you ought to be searching for a fascinating game to play together with a friend then this might be well worth checking out. It is thought of as one of the hardest and intriguing flash games throughout the world.

New York: A huge 100kg rock used by a Spanish farmer for more than three decades to press ham has turned out to be an asteroid worth a whopping USD 5.3 million.
Faustino Asensio Lopez found the massive rock, measuring 18-by-12.5-by-8 inches in 1980, while he was tending to livestock with his father in a field near Ciudad Real.
Believing the rock to be military scrap from the country`s civil war, his family members used it to cure meat for more than 30 years, `New York Daily News` reported.
However, it was only in 2011 when Lopez saw a TV report on meteorite sightings over Spain that he got in touch with geologist Juan Carlos Gutierrez Marco.
Extensive analysis confirmed the rock to be a pre-historic metallic meteorite - a solid piece of debris from an asteroid or comet that survives impact with the Earth`s surface.
According to the Spanish newspaper ABC, it is the fourth such meteorite to be found in Spain.
Previously, meteorites were found near Quesa in 1898, near Granada in 1912 and near Zaragoza in 1950.
"The object remained buried and because of that survived the times of the most demand for metals," said Marco.
Earlier this week, Madrid`s Mining Museum opened a display featuring the fragment broken off for testing. It is alongside a replica of the original, the report said.
The Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites is also home to a similar asteroid, the Gibeon Meteorite found in 1836 in Namibia.

Meike Harde is a designer that likes to be utterly experimental is known for challenging the norm and shows much interest in textiles and it's application. She is known for studying the way materials and furniture are constructed in such a way so that she can manipulate them to be completely and utterly different and I really think she achieves this, with these amazing stools. They are made to be focusing on the ornamental nature of furniture but not within the pattern itself but it how they are constructed with a foam material that allows for manipulation to generate a modular pattern.
Zieharsofika is a piece of furniture that not only challenges traditional notions of furniture construction but also the way one may interact with the piece. The foam allows for a cushioning which focuses on the idea of comfort and function. They are made out of rectangular foam mats which only manipulate when they are layer together and pulled together with elastic bands to assist in generating the ornamental experience and pattern that is Zieharsofika.
They are very forward thinking in a very simple way and are not in anyway over designed or over the top to achieve a very powerful effect. The rubber bands also allow for one to use their imagination and maybe solve the issue of where to put that magazine when I need to put it down quickly. They are interactive, super cool in look, colour and shape.
All images sourced directly from this article about Zieharsofika. They are not on the market in Australia.
Hope you are having a great Wednesday.

How To Black Friday
You can shop any day. Deals aren't worth suffering for.
Whether you're fishing or reading a book or hugging your loved ones, an extra-cheap television or whatever isn't better. It's not even equal. It's a distant, distant 47th place behind all the other things that actually make you happy and make your life a genuinely better place to inhabit.
An Argument For Animism
I'm not an animist, but watching the sun sparkle on the water at the edges of the shadow of that old cypress, I can see how someone could wonder if there wasn't some sort of spirit or essence or godling showing itself out of the water, the tree, the sun, or all three.
This isn't Yellowstone falls or the Badlands or any of the great attractions we get so excited about – – and I've seen both I mention, that's why I picked them – – but it's beautiful (aside maybe from what the wind did to the mic – – sorry about that). It's easy to get jaded about the little things and the close to home. We build up the big sights and experiences and events so much it's easy to conclude that everyday life and experiences must innately be boring, so we should be bored.
But beauty and engagement (the opposite, kinda, of boredom) are close at hand if you can give the jaded big-wow-glutton in us all the word to sit down, shut up, and let the excited kid inside a shot at enjoying the little things. Little things like the sun sparkling off the tiny wavelets of a lake on a breezy day.
One of Those Days…
My Name Is Gerald
No, it's not. My name isn't Gerald, of course. But my newest short story, My Name Is Gerald, is now available.
Here's the blurb:
Gerald is a lonely man, a shut-in who spends his time dreaming and watching the skies over his rural Nebraska hometown on the eve of the quincentennial. What he observes in those skies may lead him to find his own freedom… or into a new captivity.
My Name Is Gerald is a short story of about 5300 words.
If you backtrack a little, you'll find my previous two blog entries have been about this story. One of those two contains an excerpt from the rough draft, which made it into the final version with only a little editing.
Here's where you can find it. Updates will be added as it is distributed to the various major ebook sellers.

Told You So, New Baby Edition
Here's my little blogging delay, 9 lbs and 1 oz of brand new baby boy named Cuinn. He was born late on the night of the 17th and we've been busy ever since adjusting to his new presence. We're not the only ones adjusting. His two big brothers, 15 and 2, are adjusting as well.
On the writing front, I've managed a few hundred words on a promising little short story about aliens, death, love, duty, and flowers—working title, "The Flowers of Dawn". I know that's a sadistically tiny teaser for anything, but I'm not sure where it's going yet and most of my attention is on, you know, domestic stuff. I'm also not saying more about that story because as those of you who write probably know, sometimes a promising story stalls and goes into the trunk or gets cannibalized into other stories, taken apart into ideas and recycled.
But that's enough about writing. I just wanted to do the thing all the cool new parents are doing and tell you how awesome I think our new baby is.
He's awesome. And he still has that new baby smell.
Aren't you jealous?
Socrates, Unafraid
I've just published this piece of flash fiction on Smashwords, where it makes title #35 I have published with them. Over the next couple of weeks it will percolate through the virtual distribution pipeline to various venues, links to which I keep over to your right, in the sidebar, at the very top. Socrates, Unafraid is short, sweet, and free. Since it is free, I thought I would share it here as well. If you enjoy it… well, I've just told you where to find the rest of my work, haven't I? 🙂
Socrates, Unafraid
By S. A. Barton
Copyright 2013 S. A. Barton
The cup slips from my fingers, as it always has. It shatters between my feet, losing itself on the marble as the fragments scatter, white on white. For a moment, the shards persist. Then they become faded, then translucent. Then they are gone, and I am alone. There is me, sitting before the garden that wreathes the edges of the portico in flowers, my chair, the table, the empty flagon. Were I solid, the poison would churn through my guts. I sit, regarding the nodding heads of the flowers, and imagine it burning. Instead, unseen, it nevertheless fades into invisibility, into nothingness, as the cup has.
Did it exist? Did the cup? Did I? I smack my lips at the saccharine and heavy aftertaste the poison has left as I watch yellow sulfur moths stitch unsteady paths among the dusty red of the roses. A chime sounds, high and tinkling: once, twice, thrice.
My body is ready. The chime has sounded each day as my body has stood ready, untouched, as thirty thousand days and thirty thousand cups have passed.
It, this body, stands among ninety-nine others; none have stirred. I can sense so. They stand motionless and ready in ranks, in a square, in a ruined acropolis meant to stand at the center of a new and untarnished humanity, spit out at last into the stars from the rotting, collapsing womb of a spoiled and dying Earth, a last paroxysm of the self-preservation urge of a species.
Around the ranks of these carbon-tubule humanoid frames engineered to endure eons and bear the minds of we the last teachers of Earth, arrayed against the smooth concrete walls, are honeycombed a thousand incubators.
Within them, thirty thousand days old, long turned to motes of dust, are a thousand thirty-two-cell human embryos, selected to bear the genetic diversity needed to seed a new humanity from among them. All poisoned by the subtle traces of heavy metals and radioactives in the atmosphere, undetectable from an Earth which sent this last doomed gasp. Perhaps there were a people here once as well, alien and yet enough like us to drown in their own waste and violence as we have. If there were, they have left less of a trace than we have. Only the poisons that have destroyed our final offspring remain.
I stare at the blank marble floor, contemplating the sunset not yet here that my virtuality will bring, and the sleep, the waking, and cup thirty thousand and one.
It is enough. Finally enough. For the first time, I answer the chime.
I have spent thirty thousand days in hiding, in grief, in a solitary despair at the fate of humanity. I sense the others have left their bodies inactive as well, for the same reason, I assume. I cannot imagine another.
But there are still we final hundred. Our bodies, our fleshly human bodies, are forsaken. But our minds, our thoughts: we are human in those. At long last I accept that it must be enough. It must: it is all there is. We still might build and grow, construct new bodies and load them each with one of our hundred minds. Time and experience will change all of us, new and old, and finally as centuries pass we will diverge, until from a hundred seeds there will be thousands and millions of us, different enough in time to be called different individuals, if sprung from the identical hundred roots.
I open my eyes; carbon laminate eyelids unshroud lenses of flawless and smooth diamond. I look out across the ruined acropolis, the still forms of my ninety-nine inert companions, the thousand dust-shrouded incubators become tombs.
None of those things are there. I stand, robotic limbs locked in place but warming with current, loosening, in a cylinder of industrial diamond mounted upon a modest pedestal of plain marble. My eyes, not needing the action but driven by the appendix of a biological reflex embedded in my virtual mind, blink once, twice, thrice in surprise, diamond regarding diamond. And my focus shifts, and I look beyond.
There is the acropolis, clean and smooth, the concrete hidden behind marble façade. Lights, aimed into the great vault above, reflect a comfortable and warm sunlight upon the thousand incubators, standing open and doorless to display the guts from which sprang the last thousand human beings.
Of my ninety-nine companions, no sign at all.
Before me, a dozen children mill about a single adult. One of the children reaches up and tugs at the dusty red rose of her blouse.
"The Unawakened, teacher. His eyes opened. Does that mean he's not The Unawakened anymore?"
The teacher turns to me, eyes widening, mouth forming an O of surprise. I smile, finally.
Even late, teaching is what I am for. And there are children here after all.

One of Those Days
It's just one of those days.
Roughly 8 hours ago, I thought to myself: it's been a couple of days, I should put up a nice blog post. Maybe something topical, maybe something science-fiction-y. Maybe something about one of my stories, like the excerpt of a work in progress I did a couple of entries back.
Instead, I'm writing a Seinfeldian post, by which I mean a blog post about nothing. Don't worry, even something about nothing is still something, not nothing. I think.
In any event: it has been one of those not-too-productive days where what I really want to do is to be a complete slacker. Only I know from experience that if I just sit around like a sessile lifeform all day, I will regret it when I roll into bed at the end of the night.
And I know from extensive personal experience that mooning over regrets is one of the least productive things it is possible for a human being to do.
So, blog ideas not forthcoming, I decided to tinker with an old story idea that I had put aside months ago and tinker with it to see if I could breathe some new life into it. Maybe I did; in any event, I now have some jots and scribbles about how to proceed with a maybe-interesting idea where I didn't before. It has now moved from my 'unformed ideas' pile to my 'want to take a stab at writing this soon' pile. That's productive.
Now I'm writing the blog entry I was too uninspired to write. Double progress.
And I'm pretty sure I know how to finish that 'Speed Glacier' story I excerpted here. As I mentioned earlier. Triple progress.
Not too bad for one of those days.
A Modest Milestone -or- I'm Not Sure I Should Be Advertising This
So, one of my ebooks has broken the top 100,000 on Amazon with a sales rank somewhere around 85,000.
Usually, authors don't regale you with tales of their sales until they're on the NYT bestsellers list or they can tell you they're number one.
But I'm starting from zero, and although I'm not naive enough to think that breaking 100K on Amazon is a ticket to the big time, I am hopeful enough to think that it might be the start of bigger and better things.
Now, usually my reaction to a itty bitty sign of success, be it the growing sales rank of a story I like very much, or something else like the first radish shoots of the season in my garden, is not immediately joy as you might think. My first reaction is impatience, which I think is a very Murican reaction. I've grown to recognize this reaction as not such a good thing, as overdramatic and melodramatic. So when I looked and saw this story gaining traction and starting to sell faster than my others, I took that impatience, told it to please be quiet and go sit down, and wrote a blog post instead.
A better reaction to a bit of positive news is a smile. Writing a couple of hundred words about it has helped me to smile instead of complain.
If you happen to buy a copy of this story, Out of the Cold, from Amazon for 99 cents, so much the better.
Edit 2/2/13: My, ratings can shift quickly. Out of the Cold has dipped back below the 100,000 ranking. It was fun while it lasted; we'll see if it isn't back up in the ratings soon. My bet is that it will be.
I Suppose It Could Be The Title
Bullets for Buddha has been on Amazon since February 2012. 75% of the copies that have sold there have been sold in the last 3 weeks. I'm not sure why. Is is just because the word 'bullet' and the word 'Buddha' really don't go together, so it makes people look twice?
Is it just because sometimes, things happen and nobody really knows why? Sort of like the success of 50 Shades of Grey.
Of course, I'm selling nowhere near 1% of what 50 Shades has sold. I must resist the temptation to write 50 Shades of Gautama. I mean, I do like money. On the other hand, I also like to sleep at night. Don't get me wrong, my goal is to sell my stories; that means my goal is to write things that people will enjoy reading. I don't think I would enjoy writing 50 Shades of Gautama. The bottom line there isn't so much 'artistic integrity', whatever that means, but that if I'm not enjoying writing, it's probably going to show in my writing and then you won't enjoy reading it.
I don't mean to say that I think I need to be in a rapture of joy every second that I'm writing. Sometimes I'm tired and I don't really want to write, but I know I need to forge ahead and make some progress. Sometimes I'm at an awkward spot where I don't quite know where to take the story I'm writing, and the feeling of being stalled— or of writing a few hundred words and deciding that they're not the right words and deleting them— isn't much fun.
I mean I have to like what I'm writing to some degree, or it's going to be crappy. Just that simple.
Maybe those sudden sales are because a couple of people stumbled across it, and they like what they saw. That sounds good to me, and I think it's a good story.
After all, I enjoyed writing it.

A small palm from a single lowland rainforest in southeastern Madagascar, which is threatened by destruction. It forms slender, clustering trunks, topped by small crowns of irregularly pinnate leaves. A position in light shade in a warm temperate to tropical climate with only an occasional light frost should suit it best.
