Maharishi YagyaS
"Every year the planets go around the sun and influence our life.
These influences are classified in terms of positive and negative.
Therefore, it is wise to enhance any positive influence and
amend any negative influence through Yagyas, year after year,
every year."—Maharishi
Enhance Good Fortune and Avert Problems
Once a Maharishi Jyotish consultation has identified any upcoming periods of concern, Maharishi Yagya performances can be recommended to support good fortune or neutralize problems or obstacles.
Yagya is a timeless Vedic technology for the prevention of problems and the promotion of success and good fortune.
Yagya involves the application of specific prescribed Vedic sounds recited from a fine level of awareness by trained Vedic experts in order to achieve a specific effect: for example, to defuse impending dangers, to promote health and financial success—or even, if there is group of Pandits large enough, to promote world peace.
Maharishi Restored Correct and Effective Yagya Performance
Maharishi restored the crucial understanding and proper practice that the Vedic recitation should be projected from awareness grounded in the silent Transcendental level of speech, where the link between sound and form—between desire and fulfillment of desire—is intimately connected and enormously powerful.
This skill, of necessity, incorporates the practice of Yoga—the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs, including long Yogic Flying—and the resulting enlivenment of the Transcendent source of speech prior to the recitation and performance of Yagya. Only Maharishi Vedic Pandits have this crucial training and skill.
Maharishi dedicated years to the careful, systematic revival of Yagya, restoring this ancient technology to its full power.
This restoration and revival includes, in addition to the practice of Maharishi's Technologies of Consciousness, a far more comprehensive training of the Vedic Pandits in proper recitation and pronunciation. This extensive training over many years has been developed and instituted under Maharishi's close personal guidance, in collaboration with the most revered Master Pandits from across India.
Four kinds of Maharishi Yagyas are available:
Graha Shanti for Life in Accord with Natural Law
Graha Shanti are Maharishi Yagyas to bring life in tune with the cycles of Nature responsible for delivering the results of one's past actions. They promote good fortune and neutralize any negativity before it can arise.
The word Shanti means peace or harmony and Graha is roughly translated as planets, but actually can be understood as the forces of Nature that influence our progress in all areas of life.
Graha also can mean that which grasps or seizes and modern science has shown that the Grahas are correlated with core components of our brain, cells and even our DNA, which structure our experience of life. In this way, we can understand how Grahas can color our feelings, thinking and activity in a positive or negative manner.
Prevent Problems Before They Arise
Avert the danger that has not yet come—we all know that the best protection is prevention. A Graha Shanti Maharishi Yagya helps to release the grip of the Grahas, freeing us for greater success.
Planetary influences change with the cycles of time. The influence can be short or long, hidden or obvious, sudden or slowly developing. The planets continually affect us, like a stream of water flowing through a pipeline.
Maharishi Yagyas act like a water filter to purify that influence. If the water is quite polluted, you need to change the filter more frequently. If you want an especially high quality of water, you must use a stronger filter.
Gain Support of Nature
That's why it is highly recommended that we have our birth chart reviewed by a Maharishi Jyotish at least once a year, and then schedule the recommended Maharishi Yagya performances.
In this way, the prescribed Graha Shanti Maharishi Yagyas can be performed before a new cycle of time begins or a planetary transit occurs, to ensure a peaceful relationship with the Grahas and continued support of Nature.

If you do not have a Graha Shanti Maharishi Yagya recommendation, you may request one as part of a Maharishi Jyotish Consultation
In addition to Graha Shanti Maharishi Yagyas to protect us from any unfavorable influences, there are also Specific Purpose Maharishi Yagyas to enhance and nourish specific aspects of life to accomplish the fulfillment of our desires.
Specific Purpose Maharishi Yagyas can bring support of Nature to any specific area of life including: health, peace of mind, harmonious family relationships, increased wealth, business success, and spiritual progress.
However, these Maharishi Yagyas for specific purposes are more effective if one first takes care of the planetary influences through Graha Shanti. So Graha Shanti Maharishi Yagyas are fundamental; they are the most important ones to do first.
A list of sample special purpose Maharishi Yagyas can be found here
If you would like to request a Specific Purpose Maharishi Yagya please click here
Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and the birth of a child are all highly significant moments in the blossoming of life. Special Occasion Maharishi Yagyas were designed by Maharishi to bring support of Nature to the individual and the family at these times when specific Laws of Nature are particularly lively and accessible.
Through the application of Special Occasion Maharishi Yagyas, we awaken our cosmic potential in preparation for a new cycle of creativity, progress and fulfillment.
Special Occasion Yagyas may be requested for oneself, for family members, or for friends at four different levels, each higher level generating a significantly more powerful effect. These Yagyas may be performed without Graha Shanti Maharishi Yagyas.
Please click below if you would like to sponsor a Special Occasion Maharishi Yagya:
The National Maharishi YagyaSM program is a powerful application of the technology of Maharishi Yagya on a national scale to prevent problems and improve the fortune of an entire nation. National Maharishi Yagyas involve especially large groups of Maharishi Vedic Pandits and continue over many days or even weeks, depending on the size of the desired effect and the magnitude of the problem being averted or defused—for example a natural disaster, violent outbreak, or severe economic downturn.
These Yagyas may be performed without Graha Shanti Yagyas.

I'm slowly but surely learning more about photography. I've decided to start uploading pictures one by one. However, I must admit, I did not do the list in order. So I may be substituting some days of the challenge for others. But I can asure you all that there will be 30 photos by the end of this. Here is the first one. A self-portrait done by playing around with the lighting in the room, since I don't have professional lighting. I found the result wasn't so bad as it is similar to what I was going for. Light and dark contrasts between both halves of my face. However, the fact that my shadow shows in the background is something I didn't like.
Trust me though, this was just the first day. The photographs get a lot more interesting as the days progress.

Have you ever wanted to go on a trip? Do you prefer somewhere that is hot? Do you prefer somewhere that has a lot of history? Do you prefer somewhere that has a little of everything?
If an educator was going to take a trip online to learn about educational technology, where would you go? Would you go somewhere with detailed information about one topic? Would you go somewhere with a wide selection of information, but not as detailed? Would it be a general search engine like Google? Bing?
Well, if I was to choose my dream destination, I would rate "Educational Technology and Mobile Learning" as a 5 star resort.
"Educational Technology and Mobile Learning" is "A resource of educational web tools and mobile apps for teachers and educators."
This sites provides educators with a variety of information that they can use in their classroom. An unlimited amount of tools can be found, with a very good explanation of them. The articles are easy to read, and written by a team of teachers who are from Canada.
EdTech and Mlearning Team state, "The aim of our website is to provide the education community with a platform where they can have access to the best curated EdTech content out there."
As an educator, what is your online dream destination to learn about educational technology?

Just when you thouhgt you'd got a handle on Hollywood's latest celebrity superchild - Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose Depp - it turns out there's another kid flying the flag for offspring royalty.
Comedian and director Kevin Smith, of Jay and Silent Bob fame, has a daughter, 16-year-old Harley Quinn.
And she's quickly becoming movieland hot property.
So, just what do you need to know about Harley Quinn?
Unsurprisingly, as her dad is a comicbook devotee and regularly contributes to Arena magazine, Harley is named after a famous comicbook character.
Harley Quinn of DC Comics notoriety is a famous adversary to Batman and frequent lover and accomplice of The Joker and is currently being played by Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad.
Here's the real Harley Quinn impersonating her comicbook namesake:
She's starring alongside fellow superchild Lily-Rose Depp in Kevin Smith's leatest cinematic enterprise Yoga Hosers, which they're currently promoting at The Sundance Film Festival.
Harley and Lily-Rose have actually known each other since kindergarten.
The pair star alongside Justin Long.
She's really nailing her social media game right now, treating her 60K Instagram followers to beautiful posed shots, punctuated by more sweet and candid images:
Her fashion sense has that cool girl, Gwen Stefani vibe to it. Her red lipstick game is on point.
She's actually been banned from seeing some of her father's other films - including Dogma and Mallrats - due to the racier nature of some of the scenes. She's still only 16-years-old, after all.

"On, Wisconsin!"
That is the title of the Badgers fight song at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as well as one of the official state songs. It also underscores a new dynamic in the presidential race.
President Obama's re-election campaign on Tuesday added Wisconsin to its list of targeted states. The campaign's first television advertisements there are set to begin on Thursday, a sign that the state is more competitive than the Obama campaign had once expected.
Mitt Romney's campaign started its advertisements in Wisconsin earlier this week. Outside groups on both sides have also been advertising in the state.
All of those movements, aides said, led Mr. Obama to start his advertising in a state he won by 14 percentage points four years ago. Democratic presidential candidates have carried the state since 1988, but it was among the most fiercely competitive battlegrounds in 2000 and 2004.
"With Romney up on the air now in addition to his Republican allies, we're not taking anything for granted," said Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign.
Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, is scheduled to campaign near Green Bay on Wednesday. Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is set to campaign in the state on Thursday.
Wisconsin is among eight tossup states, according to The New York Times's battleground rankings.

Mother Nature & Universe Collude to Take Me Down a NotchSo, there I was, merrily walking across the street as I do every weekday at that time.
And, it is such a lovely day, I am noting to myself the cool breeze and the way that Nature, even in it's civilized, manicured forms, has a calming effect. How wonderful, I think to myself, it would be to take a play day. Have a picnic, enjoy the weather. Oh, how youth and free time are wasted on the young.
A wet patch of grass takes me down, face first, into said wet grass.
Mother Nature is such a bitch! Now I have grass stains and nature's equivalent of road rash.
Oh, and my manicure suffered for the take down too.
UPDATE: That Bitch! I thought I had come out of my take down relatively unscathed. Not so! My whole body aches now. It isn't just my pride, it is my arms, legs, hips, back, wrist, ankle, neck...I feel like I've been run over.

Mothers: My Thoughts
Out of the gazillion thoughts running through my head right now I have decided to pick this one thought and share it with you. Its the one thought that gives me bitter-sweet feelings and so much to look forward to as the years go by. A thought that comes as questions...so many questions...
What makes a woman a mother?
Is it the selflessness of a woman? Or just the mere fact that she conceived, nurtured a growing seed for 9/10/11 or even 12months (yes some babies are really stubborn) and practically groomed the baby and guided him/her true the years unto maturity?
Often times I wonder if providing financial support and some emotional support is enough to make a woman feel fulfilled as a mother. When does a mother look back at her child and smile in contentment? How much sacrifice does she have to offer for her child to be satisfied or reach a fulfilled level in life?
There are a lot of single parents in the world right now with single mothers taking the lead seeing as "love" is screwing people up badly these days. And I have to say, "big ups" to the single mothers out there who have given their ALL to raise children who contribute in their own way to make the world a better place and also be people of substance. Its enough that the world looks at single mothers with judging eyes and "hmmmm" on their lips. Having to deal with being looked at like people who have committed the worst atrocity on earth just because they chose to give their bundle of joy a chance to live and be somebody in the world alone is a mega challenge to face everyday of their lives, not to mention having to bring their children up to have respect and confidence in themselves knowing fully well that they too are equal with children who were brought up in a home with both parents.
Working for hours daily, Monday through to Friday, some work 2, 3 jobs to make sure their children are provided for and don't feel that void where their fathers should be. Where do these mothers draw their strength from? Why is it hard for society to treat them like mothers who are still with their spouses should be treated?
Left to me, nothing really differentiates a married mother from a single mother. The married mother still has her huddles to cross, Yes. Probably a man to constantly nag at when things get really hard, a man to bring bread home while all she does is play mother to their children and a stronger shoulder to lean on when things get tough. But at the end of the day both she and the single mother actually are the ones doing the bringing up.
How many of us can truly say our fathers know more than our mothers do about us? Why did we always run to our mothers when we needed something or were in trouble as kids? Like me who had a disciplinarian as a mother, one who constantly reminded me of the British rule in Nigeria before the independence because she always had it her way and if I begged to disagree or went my way, had the beating of my life. Still, I loved her like my life depended on it.
Some of us look back with bitter sweet memories of our childhood and regret the things we wish we didn't do and wish we could correct them now. We look back and remember how loving and caring, selfless and happy our mothers were even though sometimes we hear them crying on their pillows in the quiet of the night. We remember how soothing and comforting their embrace was and their cooking........just amazing! Its a very consoling feeling to watch your parents grow old with you and know that you will be there to take care of them, I bet the knowledge that you've got them in their old age is what makes them look at you and nod/smile in satisfaction..
Never neglect your parents especially your mother, even the religious books say mother comes first after the creator. Show them love, its your turn now. Don't look back and regret the things you should be doing now. For those of us whose memories about our mothers are fading.....all we can do is thank God for the opportunity that we were born and raised by such sweet, selfless women who walked the earth gracefully and are our guardian angels now.
Where would we be? What will we be without our mothers?
P.S: Still in the spirit of Mothers Day, show some love to all the mothers out there. Everyday is Mothers Day..the best blessings to mankind!

On this project I've used the Confetti Background, Polka Dot Pals Toby and the Party Banner Metal Die all from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I actually colored the image first and knew I wanted to go with a superman cape which means I'd be using bright blues and reds... so naturally, the primary colors came to mind with a bit of green to tone it down. I was lucky enough to find paper that matched! Seriously lucky... since I don't have a lot of bright papers around.
The the rest of the card was put together grabbing things from my desk... some tape-measure ribbon, a clasp, a ticket, and then finally some letter. I had to hold my breath as I counted out the banners to make sure I had enough ... and yep, it's perfect!

In the event that your vitality bills are experiencing the rooftop and you are pondering what to do about it, switch plates might be the appropriate response. These little and economical things may have the effect between icy, drafty rooms that cost you dearly to warm and an all around protected house where calm air circles in the right design. The primary thing to discover is what is causing the issue. Begin with the self evident. You likely would not leave windows open amidst winter, yet verify whether the windows close legitimately and regardless of whether they are twofold coat. Rooftop protection is likewise worth confirming. In the event that you have had your windows supplanted as of late with better protected ones, at that point you can proceed onward to the subsequent stage; switch plates.
Each electrical outlet is a prime suspect for the spillage of warmth out of your home. You can test for chilly air development by putting your face near the outlet. Your cheeks and eyes are normally exceptionally delicate to frosty air moving crosswise over them. Generally a standard light will soon demonstrate air streams by a vacillating fire or smoke being blown over. On the off chance that this happens, it is an ideal opportunity to make a humble interest in protecting your switch plates. The motivation behind why it merits requiring the investment to look at your switch plates is on account of albeit every one may appear to be little, there are probably going to be a considerable measure of them in your home. What is more, switch plates frequently cover very sizable gaps backpedaling behind plasterboard or supporting dividers. Duplicating vitality spillage per switch plate by the quantity of outlets soon signifies a major deplete on assets.
Fortunately the arrangement can be snappy, powerful and economical. The item that is required is known as a froth gasket. This is an extended polystyrene sort of froth cover that fits in and around the electrical outlet gap to close off the section of air streams. To fit them, you unscrew the switch plate. You at that point fit the froth cover over the opening where the electrical outlet arrives, lastly screw back on buy clipsal iconic series. Ensure that you do this for electrical outlets that were never intended to be a piece of the ventilation, as opposed to air vents that were outlined into vent the house. It is imperative to leave these reason introduced air vents in an operational state, since you require some development of air to blend the cooler, dryer outside air with the hotter, moister inside air.

Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa lost his bid for a third term on Friday, ending a decade of rule that critics say had become increasingly authoritarian and marred by nepotism and corruption.
As results rolled in overnight from Thursday's election, it became clear that Rajapaksa had been beaten by opposition candidate Mithripala Sirisena, a one-time ally who defected overnight in November and derailed what the president thought would be an easy win.
Celebratory firecrackers could be heard exploding in the capital, Colombo, after Rajapaksa's office said he had accepted the victory of Sirisena, who has vowed to root out corruption and bring constitutional reforms to weaken the power of the presidency.
Sirisena, a soft-spoken 63-year-old from the rice-growing hinterlands of this Indian Ocean island state, is expected to be sworn in at Colombo's Independence Square at 6:00 p.m. local time (1230 GMT).

Charlie Paulette, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Shiner Beers, had a few words of wisdom about brand evolution at the Ad Age Small Agency Conference in Austin, and he's certainly in a position to know.
"Every six to ten years, people change," he said. "There's a new group of 21-year-old, legal-drinking-age males who don't give a crap about what you drank 15 years ago."
The company, which still has its longtime brewery in Shiner, Tex., and its headquarters in San Antonio, hit a few walls when it tried to expand beyond Texas over ten years ago, he said. For starters, it hired agencies outside Texas that produced work that looked too commercial.
"Some were starting to look like Coors Light ads," he said. "We didn't like that. They were trying to come up with more organic ads, but it wasn't happening."
"We had a personality and identity crisis," Mr. Paulette added. "As a client you just know when you've got work you need, whether it's packaging or an ad. When you get there it's beautiful. We weren't there."
Then Shiner conducted a new agency search and hired Austin, Tex.-based McGarrah Jessee to support everything from product development to advertising. Since then, with the help of the agency, the company has injected its Shiner and Austin roots in its messaging and advertising.
The company saw an immediate boost in sales and is still growing today. It's currently the fourth largest craft brewer in the country, with a presence in 47 states, Mr. Paulette said. Over the past three years, the media budget, although small, has doubled, he told Ad Age after the session.
He wrapped up the day with a tasting of the company's latest brews, including its new Belgian White Ale.

Since moving to New York City last year, I've been wanting to do a Philadelphia day trip, and I finally crossed it off the list this month! It was below freezing that weekend, so I bundled up and braved the cold to see the beautiful city of Philadelphia.
First stop – brunch at Green Eggs Cafe. And then Square One Coffee because it was a 45-minute wait. We ordered the red velvet pancake and steak & eggs for brunch, and wow those portions are HUGE! We shared both dishes so we could get a bit of sweet and a bit of savory, and it was a LOT of food. The red velvet pancakes are a must though, they were fluffy and just the good amount of sweetness (but it was just too big).
Philly is an old city, so any small street is a good for photos! We snapped some photos across from Green Eggs Cafe and they turned out super cute. I love the colors of the doors with the brick : )
Next was shopping on Walnut Street. It reminded me of Newbury Street in Boston actually! And when our taste buds needed a little something, we went to Craftsman Row! It was the weekend before St. Patty's Day, so we had to get a festive milkshake (we shared it because we were still full from brunch).
And out into the cold we go! Jen and I googled "Instagrammable places in Philadelphia" the night before, and came across Elfreth's Alley. It even has it's own Instagram account! So of course, we went there to take some photos. It was freeeezing cold though, so we had to be quick. We passed by Independence Hall and Liberty Bell on the way there, but it looked like it was under renovation so we couldn't go in to check them out.
The last stop before dinner was a store called United by Blue. To be honest, we went inside this store because we wanted to warm up a bit before heading to dinner, but it was such a cute store! Their corporate office is right above the store and everything there is very well made.
To end the day, we had some heart-warming noodle soup in Chinatown and filled our bellies with matcha goodness at A La Mousse. What's a day without dessert?
I hope you enjoyed coming along with me on my day trip to Philly. As you can tell, eating is a big part of my life and I love trying out new restaurants and cafes! Thank you for stopping by : )

Universities and the skills for business
Universities and businesses share the same goal - and there are many ways of working together
The fundamental business of a university is knowledge. Through our research, knowledge exchange and undergraduate and postgraduate education we create, share, expand and translate knowledge. And businesses can benefit from the fruits of our endeavours.
At Manchester Metropolitan University, we have an open door to business of all scales, from small and medium-sized enterprises to global multinationals. The nature of our engagement varies, covering the provision of bespoke training, business leadership, business growth and marketing. It also includes the co-creation of products at the early stages of technical readiness, or adapting existing knowledge to enable businesses to be innovative, do things differently and generate value.
We are committed to ensuring that the knowledge collateral we generate has application in the real world – whether that's through the values and skills our graduates take away, practical applications for our research, or the partnerships we establish to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.
Our incubator space, Innospace, originated in a Centre for Enterprise project and currently supports over 100 student and graduate start-ups by providing low cost space and practical business development support. The Centre for Enterprise itself provides a bridge between the university and businesses and employers, with fully funded business skills programmes to support business growth alongside a research team specialising in small and medium sized enterprises. This model exemplifies the partnership approach that characterises the relationships between Manchester Met and SMEs.
Hence when Sajid Javid, the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills recently announced a new fund to expand Degree Level Apprenticeships, he did so at our university.
A shared goal
Our degree apprenticeships are a logical extension of our approach to education, focused on chartered management, chemical science and digital and technology solutions. They have been designed together with employers of the calibre of Accenture, BT, Capgemini, CGI, Ford, Fujitsu, GlaxoSmithKline, HMRC, Hewlett Packard, IBM, John Lewis, Lloyds Banking Group and Network Rail.
These programmes work towards a shared goal, helping to tackle skills gaps, careers to flourish and industry to thrive, as well as encouraging more people into university. They are further proof of what can be achieved when education and businesses work side by side.
And we are keen to develop them further in partnership with employers both within Greater Manchester and nationally.
The university will continue to work on ensuring we have an open door for and to business. People must know how to contact us; that we are pro-active in seeking out opportunities; that we aim to listen and to deliver on time and to budget, and that our business partnerships are of key importance to our mission of transforming lives and making a difference.

Chapter 45 Frustration
Who the hell was she to look at him with disdain and revulsion as he drank his meal? She, with the swirling, electric blue eyes and fangs that flashed so viciously when she focused on him? Did she think she was too good to drink blood, that which sustained her, them? She was a vampire, she had to have blood! And yet, she hadn't drank; she'd stayed in control but sooner or later she'd have to give in to the thirst, they all did.
This trip was a fool's errand; he'd have to take the one he'd brought in yesterday but that meant that no matter what tomorrow he'd have to grab two people. One of the scars on his neck started itching, as it did when he was frustrated and he scratched at it, wanting to be able to scrape it off of his body - all of them.
One hundred and seventy years hadn't taken away the pain, the scars that still oozed with the vile stench that they held inside him. He was ready to die but it would be at the hands of the two that had caused this, not by his own.
But it had to be soon. He'd had enough.
Quiet had fallen over the cell and Beth used the time to think of Mick, to try and connect with him. Luka and Henry were sleeping as was the new guy and Max? Well, she was resting but Beth wasn't sure it was sleep really. Luka had torn his tee shirt up into pieces and Beth had kept wetting pieces of it to bathe Max's face or lay across it in an effort to help cool her but it was a losing battle. It was as critical for Max as it was for her to get out of here.
Mick was at the loft and other people were too. She could tell that although she couldn't really see them; she just knew he was talking to people. He looked wiped out and she was sure he hadn't slept any better than she had been. Her heart ached for him, for them both and she focused as hard as she could and reached her hand out to him, in an effort to feel the comfort only he could offer.
Suddenly he stopped what he was doing and made his way into the office and she saw him looking straight ahead for a moment before closing his eyes. He knew, he knew that she was with him and he reached out his hand to her and for a moment she felt the connection that they needed, the love of the only man she'd ever desire no matter how long they lived.
It passed between them, the love, the ache, the salvation of their souls as two melded into one. For a few minutes they both held the contact and finally Mick grabbed a piece of paper and the pen and she saw that he was writing a note again. He held it up to his chest and she saw the words and hoped she could provide an answer.
What is silver?
He knew she had been sending him messages about silver; that was good. How did she make it clearer for him? Damn this was frustrating! If only she could speak the words and he'd be able to hear them. She might wake the others but it was worth a try.
Silver trailer, Mick. Silver trailer in the desert. She visualized it as she said it, focusing hard on it when she heard footsteps. Shatel!
I love you Mick! The thought ran over and over in her mind as she alerted the others. She and Luka each had a stake concealed and Henry was going to distract Shatel when he brought the next body into the cell.
It had to work, it had too. She was out of time and she knew it. She wouldn't make it more than another hour or so without blood and who knew how much longer that Max could make it without a doctor. Time was crucial now and so this had to work.
Except it didn't.
Mick felt her withdraw although he didn't know why. A silver trail in the desert? Name of a road, a town maybe? He opened the door and went to speak to everyone. He suddenly realized how quiet it had become in the room and he knew that they knew he'd gotten a message from Beth.
"We need to find a road or town or something in the desert with the word silver in it. I got a clear message of a silver trail in the desert."
"Okay, we have a possible lead," Josef said and for some reason he felt complete confidence in what Mick was saying. After all, he'd known from the start that something had happened. Logan and Audrey who had moved their base of operations to Mick's loft for the duration both started searching, running names and the word silver.
Mick grabbed a fresh glass of A+ and drank it straight down. He still felt her; not exactly physically but somewhere in his heart, she was still with him. He tried to will her his strength and let her know they would find her.
"A clear message it seems," Josef said, watching Mick.
"Yep, I think so. Seemed clear," he said as he rinsed his glass out. "Lani not back from the doctor yet?"
"No. She's going to call when they are done," Josef said, looking down so that Mick didn't see the pain and fear that was in his eyes. "I wanted to go with her but she wouldn't let me."
"She's a tough one, Josef. Just like Beth. She's going to be fine, you know that don't you? One way or the other?" The silent implication wasn't wasted on Josef.
Yes, he could turn her, earlier than scheduled but he wanted her to be okay so that she could be turned when she wanted to be, when she was ready.
When they were both ready.
Lani sat on the examination table at the clinic waiting for Rose to come in. She was in a paper gown which did little to ward off the chill of the room. The nurse had also given her a light blanket and she had wrapped it around her shoulders to help, an action that was failing miserably.
Josef had wanted to come with her but it was just a doctor's appointment. Wasn't it? Of course it was she told herself, over and over in fact. She was just a little anemic, that was all.
She jumped when Rose entered the room after a brief knock on the door. "Hi," she said, pulling up a stool that was on wheels and looking over the paperwork the nurse had completed to begin with.
"Well, your blood pressure and temp are good, Lani but your pulse is a bit rapid. Nervous?"
"Yes," Lani admitted. "It's all so scary."
"Me, the situation or do you always get anxiety when you go to the doctor? It's very common you know."
"I - I guess, a little bit. Mostly just because I never really get sick; hardly ever. I guess I don't handle it so well."
"Well, we're going to get it all figured out, Lani. It's going to be okay." She scanned out the information forms that Lani had completed and something caught her attention immediately. "You have AO- blood? Like Beth?"
"Yes, freaky isn't it? They say only 1 person in a million has it and yet here Beth and I grew up together and we both have it."
"Yes, it's a rather strange coincidence, certainly. Let's see, you say you feel shaky sometimes? Before or after eating?"
"A little of both actually. But if I get hungry it gets worse; I get light-headed. And sometimes after I eat I get a bit queasy."
"Any history on diabetes in your family? I don't see any listed but think hard about it."
"No, absolutely none that I know of. Do you think I am diabetic?"
"Well, it's a possibility, given your symptoms. But not the only possibility." They went through other questions and finally Rose said, "Okay, we're going to draw some blood, Lani. That will give up a few things to explore. So, just hang out for a bit and the nurse will be back in to get some blood."
Lani nodded and swallowed hard. Diabetes? Wow, could it be?
Shatel opened the door right after the lights came on and the prisoners blinked tightly for a few moments to avoid the stinging shock of the brightness. He didn't have anyone with him and that worried Beth and Luka both. He stood in front of the cell door, staring at Beth who stood up and stared him in the eye, letting her eyes change and baring her fangs.
He growled and started to reach through the bars of the cell and then thought better of it. He would not show his fear, his rage to this woman, to any of them. Instead, he focused on the new guy who sat staring at him from the far end of the cell.
The man rose and walked to him without any protest. He was using allure on them Beth realized which is why most of them didn't object to what was happening.
Shatel looked at Beth again and growled; she answered with a growl of her own. She knew that for some reason her fangs scared him and she didn't hesitate to use them when she could.
He motioned to the corner of the cell with his eyes and she refused to move. The plan wouldn't work unless they got him inside the cell with them. She stood her ground and he said, "I'll hurt her. I don't care if she is dying."
Beth glanced back at Max who was leaning against the wall, eyes half closed and pain clearly etched across her features. Could she risk it? He would at least come into the cell to get her because she would never be able to make the walk. Another glance at Max showed her struggling to her feet and she knew what Shatel was doing, using allure again.
"You bastard!" Beth said in vamp tones.
"Yes, that and many other things, my lady. Do you yield?" The last words were nothing more than a hiss.
"Yes," Beth said, spitting the bitter words out and stepping away just in time to catch Max as she fell. Beth also realized that he'd had them all under his spell of allure as she saw Henry and Luka all staring straight ahead.
He unlocked the door and the new guy simply walked out, a mere shell of a man Beth realized. At least he didn't know what was happening. The clang of the cell door closing seemed to rouse the rest of them and Beth sat slowly down, holding Max in her arms.
She also realized how strong the need for blood was when she couldn't take her eyes off of the veins in Max's throat. She fought back a scream and hot, stinging tears. She would not cry while that bastard was here.
She wouldn't.
Not even when he brought a cup of the warm blood and held it out to her in the cell. His eyes were taunting, mocking her needs and she shut her own knowing that if she went to him he'd withdraw the cup from her reach. He wanted her to kill the others.
She wouldn't. She couldn't.
"What is it, Mick? You got a message from her, didn't you?" Dorothy said as she walked down the stairs. She had been upstairs resting a bit while Mick was in the office.
"Yes, I did. I think wherever she is has silver in the name, like Silver Trail or something similar. They're looking now." He looked at her and saw that stress was imprinted all over her face and the rigid angle of her shoulders. "Dorothy, why don't you sit down a bit. Let me order you something to eat. Lani should be back before too long and I'm sure Audrey is hungry too."
"Maybe something light, Mick. Thank you so much." She reached out and touched her son in laws face for a moment and smiled at him. "You are going to get to her in time, Mick."
He closed his eyes for a moment in silent acknowledgment. Would they? In time?
Time. They all knew her time was running out.
Rose stared at the results of the preliminary blood work for Lani. The results were certainly a surprise, if not a bit astounding. There was clearly more to this story than anyone knew. She ordered another test to be run on some of the remaining blood, but that one and another one would take at least a day to come back.
Meantime, this was going to be a shock for her. Rose gathered herself because she was about to deliver some very unexpected news to Lani. Yes, she was anemic a bit but there was a lot more to the story than that.
After Shatel had left and she heard his footsteps retreating up the stairs Beth wrapped her arms around her knees and laid her head on her knees and cried. Scalding tears poured from her, tears of fear and pain and the thought of losing control and hurting someone.
She finally got what Mick had suffered in the desert here. How hard he fought for control because it's what she was feeling as well. Her body was screaming for blood, her mind a fiery impulse urging her to take blood now. She felt the burn throughout her whole body as the call for blood raced through her. She was starving, dying for it.
"Beth," Luka said, kneeling down beside her. "Come with me." He offered her his hand and she followed him to the far end of the cell which was abandoned now. He sat down and asked her to sit with him.
"Beth, you need to drink. I'm okay, I'm strong. If I understand you correctly you don't take it all, so just take what you need."
"I - I don't know if I can control it, Luka." She wiped the tears off of her cheeks and even in the dark she could see the blood pumping though his veins and the scent of his blood was heady, like the scent of the most delicious meal she could imagine.
"Of course you can, Beth. They are down there, sleeping. It's just you and I here and they don't have to know, okay?"
She licked her lips, and felt her fangs nick her tongue. She glanced nervously down to the other end of the cell and knew he was right, both Henry and Max were sleeping. She inhaled the scent of the blood and moved a bit closer to him.
It felt weird to drink his blood, someone that they weren't paying. Again, it made her think of Mick and how he had talked about the difference between food and love. This was definitely food but she'd come to like Luka a lot the past few days. It wasn't love but he wasn't a stranger either.
Her body finally settled the debate as uncontrollable shaking over came her. "I just need your arm, Luka. I'll try not to take too much. If you feel dizzy you need to tell me."
"Okay, you got it. My arm?" The thought seemed to surprise him.
"Yes." She took his arm and scented along the vein. The grime that covered them all didn't matter a bit when her tongue snaked out to move along the vein, searching for the place to bite.
When her fangs bit into his arm it was a bit of a shock for Luka. It didn't really hurt, but it was a curious sensation. Her bite was delicate, or so it seemed. He felt the rhythmic pull of her mouth on his arm and he settled back against the wall and closed his eyes.
Beth had presence enough of mind to steer his mind away from bodily reactions and keep him calm. Almost as soon as she bit the shaking stopped and she knew that she could remain in control. She took a bit more than she intended, maybe a pint or so but when she was done she pulled her fangs out and sealed the marks as best as she could.
"Luka, thank you." She was glad that he couldn't see the wash of embarrassment that flowed over her face.
He smiled and looked down at her, even though he couldn't see her. "It's okay, Beth. We're in this together and the rest of us won't make it out if we don't work together."
She drew in a long breath and saw blood beading up on his arm. "Luka, press your palm over the marks for a bit to help stop the bleeding. Are you feeling okay?"
"Yes, a bit tired though. We've got a while before he comes back. Why don't we both try to rest?"
"I think that's a good idea." She stood up and held her hand out to him and he took it, getting to his feet a bit shakily. After they had both settled down on the other end of the cell she sent a message to Mick, as best she could.
I'm okay, Mick. I love you.
A sudden sense of peace settled over Mick and it came from Beth. He knew what it was, the sense of warmth, of well-being.
She'd fed. She was okay.
What had she been forced to do? His heart ached for his Beth and he prayed that whatever had happened she could live with.
To be continued…

This is all so exciting!!! What's going on with Lani??? Is she really Beth's sister? Do they have the same father? She couldn't be pregnant... I can't wait to find out what happens next!
Luka sure is getting a crash course in vampires.

That's what I was thinking. Was Lani's father so much of a bastard that he raped Dorothy? If so, there's no way, Dorothy could have known it was him.
I think Lani is PG, too. Maybe not, but it all adds up.
Can't wait til Thursday! mum

Hi Joangel!!
No, Lani is NOT Beth's sister. :( Lani's parents lived in New Jersey when Dorothy was raped.
Yes, Luka certainly is. The question is, even though he's accepting things, will he work with Carl in the future to help them? Hm...
Thank you so much Joangel!

Hi mum!!
No, as I stated to Joangel, Marcus and Helen were living in New Jersey, attending college when Dorothy was raped. They are a few years older than Dorothy. We'll learn more about that later though.
It does sort of add up, doesn't it? Except for the fact that ordinary vamps can't have kids. Although I have to be careful calling Josef ordinary! LOL...
Thank you mum!!

Just thought I'd share something fun here. I've kept a look on Amazon Instant Video for a while, hoping they'd get Moonlight so I could fill in some of the blanks because I never watched the whole series. They have season 1 on Amazon Instant Video! Yay! It's unlimited streaming for free if you have an Amazon prime account. :)
- September 4, 2012 at 5:56 PM
- Val Staples said...
Oops, it isn't one of the free streaming ones, it's $1.99 an episode, or $25 for the whole season. My bad. But still!

Hey Val!!
Sad to say that there was only ONE season, which is why I have to keep it alive. Good thing Trevor Munson,creator of it loves us writing fan fic, LOL. He hangs out on MLF from time to time and is a FB friend.
Tried to send you an email and I goofed it and now it won't let me send another. Please send me one!
Thanks for the info about ML. I'll let the boards know about it.

Right I remembered it was only one season after I posted. And now I own it! I've seen a couple of episodes but it has been so long I wanted to catch up before I started reading here again. What's your email addy?

Community Violence Big Risk Factor for PTSD in Young Adults
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs in a significant minority of people exposed to circumstances that pose some sort of serious threat to immediate survival. PTSD specialists know that exposure to a form of violence known broadly as community violence is a potential source of a survival threat intense enough to trigger the disorder in certain individuals. In a study review presented in January 2015 to the Society for Social Work and Research, researchers from New York University explored the factors that make community violence exposure a PTSD risk for young adults.
Community Violence
Community violence is an umbrella term that public health officials and researchers use to describe a range of violent acts that may affect a neighborhood or local area. Some forms of this violence occur within the home, while other forms occur in public places or in other locations outside of the home. Examples of actions that qualify as community violence include physically attacking someone, using threats of violence to intimidate someone and physically taking someone else's property or personal belongings. While public perception often focuses on violent acts that take place in poor, urban or ethnic communities, wealthy Americans, Caucasian Americans and people who reside in suburban or rural areas are not immune to such acts.
More than 33 percent of all American preteens and younger teenagers experience community violence in the form of direct physical contact, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' National Center for PTSD reports. Rates for exposure to implied or threatened violence are substantially higher. Population groups with especially high risks for community violence exposure include men, non-Caucasians, children of parents who commit intimate partner violence, gang members, people with substance problems and socioeconomically disadvantaged people living in centralized city neighborhoods. Women have elevated risks for community violence that takes the form of rape or other types of sexual assault.
PTSD Risks
Women develop post-traumatic stress disorder much more often than men in the aftermath of exposure to life-threatening events or situations. Situations and events especially noted for their potential to trigger symptoms of the disorder include sexual assault, physical assault and indirect or direct exposure to combat. Broadly speaking, overall PTSD risks rise along with the severity of the traumatic situation or event, the duration of the traumatic situation/event, proximity to the traumatic situation/event and the intensity of the immediate emotional response to a traumatic situation/event. Other determining factors include whether someone died during a traumatic situation/event, the amount of help received in the aftermath of trauma exposure, level of prior exposure to highly traumatic circumstances, pre-existing mental health status, mental health-related family history and level of general stress at the time of trauma exposure.
Impact of Community Violence Exposure
In the study presented to the Society for Social Work and Research, the New York University researchers used data gathered from 14 previous studies to help determine the prevalence of community violence exposure among young-adult Americans, as well as the factors that link such exposure to increased chances of developing PTSD. All of the studies under consideration were conducted in the 21st century and included participants between the ages of 18 and 30. The researchers initially looked at a total of 517 studies before narrowing their focus to those studies that met the scientific standards for inclusion.
The researchers preliminarily concluded that relatively little scientifically sound work has been done on the PTSD-related impact of community violence exposure among America's young adults. Most of the studies that met their standard for inclusion focused on Hispanic men or on college students with a Caucasian racial/ethnic background. Despite the limitations in study quality and diversity, the researchers found that community violence exposure is quite common for young adults, even in those groups not traditionally considered at risk. The researchers also found that this form of violence significantly increases young adults' chances of developing PTSD. Young adults with heightened risks for relatively severe PTSD symptoms associated with community violence exposure include people who lack strong support networks, people already affected by mental illness, people who blame themselves for their violence exposure and people who experience a sense of mental/physical detachment from reality at the time of their violence exposure. Conversely, risks typically go down in young adults with strong support networks and/or a well-developed ability to adapt to stressful circumstances.

Does anyone know the new coupon codes for the 2005FPW and what price it is with those?
I just checked a day or two ago and it didnt seem to have anything significant...
try here again in about 2-3 weeks.
Thank you. Does anyone know why these coupons have been kind of dead for awile?
Why do you say 2-3 weeks ... are the coupons on a monthly cycle?
its actually on a weekly cycle and new coupons are made every tuesdays and old ones usually expire on tuesdays or wednesdays. So you might want to check every wednesday
From me monitoring www.techbargains.com, it seems like the excellent deals on the 2001FP and 2005FPW haven't been appearing lately. In fact, I don't think I've seen them at all since they announced earnings on August 11th. I'm kinda in the market for a 2005FPW or another 2001FP.
My wild guess would be perhaps they've stopped because they're feeling internal pressure on the profit side by selling LCDs at bargain prices (w/coupons).
that's true for regular ($20,$60, peripherals...) coupons, i'd been watching the LCD coupons for a while, waiting for the 35% off coupon to show up again (last week of the promo).
i figure it's quarterly, the last set ended July, I'd expect the next set out 1st or 2nd week of sept, and run through late oct/early nov. stops for a month or two, then starts again.
They're back again. See http://www.techbargains.com/. It's $443.28 plus tax and free shipping. Get 'em while they last.

Guardian – Blair is set for a third term – and it's a chilling prospect: A prominent businessman said to me last week: "You can feel this government cracking up. Everything around Blair feels rotten. The end is in sight." He is not the only inhabitant of the anti-Labour camp to feel a spring surge of hope. Conservative frontbenchers have been making good speeches and sharp points. There has been much speculation about a Tory revival. I don't believe a word of it. Much of the country is simply not listening. The strength of the economy sustains a widespread sense of wellbeing, matched by an indifference to all sorts of issues people should care about, but do not. There is amazingly little anger of the kind that provokes electorates to topple governments.

Dash Coin To Pound – Wealth with Legs! – The Affluence Network
Thank you so much for coming to The Affluence Network in search of "Dash Coin To Pound" online. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same way that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is only a representation of worth, but there's no genuine palpable type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers argue that there is "real" worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that's worth an ever declining amount of currency or some kind of benefit so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades resides. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be simply that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It's also possible that the regulators just don't comprehend the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act. In case of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could even be dealt being a product. Supporters of cryptocurrencies proclaim this form of electronic money is not handled by a key banking system and is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a minimal number of items, this moneyis value is founded on market forces, enabling owners to trade over cryptocurrency deals.

Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they get involved in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof that a transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, global, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. As such, it's more resistant to wild inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and privacy can readily be attained by simply being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. As one of the oldest forms of making money is in cash lending, it is a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites now focus on company of Bitcoin, but I am certain there will be one or two who'll already have arrived in/nearby which will give other currencies. Some sites are now outside: valves: these are sites where you fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a little number of coins for that faucet. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of pat into the money of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some sites of pat contain: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. The new ones are always popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well. The best way to produce a sensible plan and analyze it in the light of these complications? When searching forDash Coin To Pound, there are many things to think about.

First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast.

This was the digital currency referred to as Bitcoin. There are distinct from common currency we understand. This is only because they're not controlled by any state or government. They don't go through any third party. It was a tremendous breakthrough in the means of exchange. It also brought tremendous solutions to the issues of identity theft online. Transactions go through several celebrations as a means of creating trust, but today it's possible to create trust through creation of a complex code by an individual party. It should be challenging to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having little increases is more lucrative than attempting to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to have a look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in monies that haven't made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.

Dash Coin To Pound: Affluence Network – Buy A Private Island or Two
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network is currently the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that offer long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the right location at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these firms decide how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's occurring to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it mended. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any focused firm. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in problems to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is fundamentally crucial that you comprehend that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can only select to print endless quantities (I am not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that may result in company being unable to continue to operate or to cease operation. Many people prefer to use a currency deflation, particularly those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial solitude, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; if you're living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen included in your wealth, with the remainder reserved for other currencies. You've probably seen this many times where you usually spread the great word about crypto. "It's not unstable? What happens when the value crashes? " sofar, many POS devices offers free conversion of fiat, improving some concern, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people will undoubtedly be hesitant to keep any. We must find a way to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.

One of our volunteers asked me what I thought about these. I told her that neither of them probably would get a second look from anyone if they were even in Croydon's South Bus Garage or somewhere on the outskirts of Swansea. And from what I saw here they are very unremarkable even for Moldova's capital. She told me that everyone knows that they are not the best, nothing is won in Moldova without bribes so the "winners" always are those who paid or have "important people" in the family.
This is how Moldovans do things. A daughter of some minister here who say opened a shop won't bother to hire best window display designers, buy expensive props, pay best photographers and models that her "mere mortal" competitors can't afford and win this way. She will just get daddy to call the judges on the panel and/or have him pay them. And it doesn't matter how blatantly obvious it will be that her shop's windows are not the best. People are accustomed to injustice at every step here. And they are accustomed to feel absolutely powerless about it. In the past it was Soviet / Russian shit that made everyone feel small and now it is the horrific criminal corruption supported by the US and the EU as long as the dictator plays "on the West's side" and antagonises and shames Russia internationally when told to do so instead of (heaven forbid) ever side with it (as half of the population here do). And the people here are just hostages to this shit.

1. Lateral ligament injury (rolled ankle)
A lateral ligament injury usually refers to a tear of one or more of the ligaments on the outside (lateral aspect) of the ankle. The lateral ligaments consist of three bands which provide stability to the outside of the ankle joint. These ligaments as a group are referred to as the lateral ligament complex. The lateral ligaments are injured when they are overstretched (sprained). This commonly occurs when the foot and ankle are forcibly rolled inwards. This injury is often referred to as a 'rolled ankle'. The ankle may be rolled during rapid changes in direction, on uneven surfaces, or treading on a ball or opponent's foot.
2. Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is pain on the inside aspect of the heel. It is usually an overuse injury that causes inflammation of the plantar fascia at its attachment site on the heel bone. Plantar fasciitis occurs as a result of stretching or 'pulling' of the plantar fascia from its attachment on the heel bone. Activities such as running and dancing are commonly associated with the development of plantar fasciitis. This injury is called an overuse injury; it may happen over a long period of time before the patient decides to seek treatment.
3. Gastrocnemius (calf) strain
The calf refers to the two muscles at the back of the lower leg that together form the Achilles tendon. The more superficial of these, gastrocnemius, provides the sudden explosive drive for the initial 'take off in running. It is the more commonly injured of the two muscles, especially in people in their forties. A gastrocnemius strain refers to a tear in this large powerful muscle forming the bulk of the calf. A gastrocnemius strain typically occurs when the muscle is forcibly contracted whilst in a stretched position. This can occur when accelerating from a stationary position or when lunging forward, such as in tennis or squash. A gastrocnemius strain may also occur following stepping in a pot-hole whilst running. This may cause the heel to drop suddenly, overstretching the gastrocnemius muscle. Factors which may contribute to a strain of the gastrocnemius muscle include an inadequate warm- up, muscle stiffness or tightness, fatigue or overuse, an inadequate recovery period between training sessions, reduced muscle strength, and faulty biomechanics.
4. Achilles tendinopathy
Achilles tendinopathy refers to degeneration within the large tendon which joins the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus). Achilles tendinopathy is a common injury in sports involving running and jumping, and results from overuse of the tendon. The function of the Achilles tendon is to transmit forces produced by the calf muscles to the heel bone. Repetitive use of the calf muscles and, therefore, the Achilles tendon can lead to microscopic tears within the substance of the tendon. To repair these microscopic tears, the body commences an inflammatory response. Although this response is initially part of the healing process, when the stresses are repeated, the inflammation is prolonged and so produces local tissue damage. Factors which may contribute to Achilles tendinopathy include a recent change in training (including frequency, duration, intensity, training surfaces), reduced rest times, biomechanical abnormalities, poor footwear, and decreased muscle flexibility and joint range of motion. These factors can lead to increased stress on the Achilles tendon, microtears and subsequent tendinopathy.
5. Sever's lesion
Sever's lesion refers to an injury to the bone growth plate at the back of the heel bone (calcaneus) in young athletes. It is more a condition than a disease. The large calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) attach to the heel via the Achilles tendon. The function of this tendon is to transmit forces produced by the calf muscles to the heel bone. In children, the portion of the heel bone into which the Achilles tendon inserts is separated from the bulk of the heel bone by a growth plate. This growth plate enables bone growth to occur. However, it also represents a site of weakness in the bone. Forcible and repeated contraction of the calf muscles can injure the growth plate. This commonly occurs during a period of rapid growth where the muscles and tendons become tighter as the bones grow. This leads to increased pulling of the calf muscles and Achilles tendon on the heel bone and growth plate.
