Well, the 2010 Winter Olympics are finally coming to the big O-- the Olympic Orgasm itself... (Ohhh....Ohhh!...). Behind the gasps and spasms of emotion, lurk the dark realities.
It's becoming quite clear that these games are another great ploy of our wealthy uber-meisters, and fulfill several useful functions.First of all, they provide a marvelous excuse for a bi-annual (given that the summer and winter games are staggered) orgy of pageantry and celebration. This function should never be underestimated, as it has proved its value since the days of the Roman coliseum in keeping busy little minds preoccupied with trivia... as opposed to scrutiny of the machinations of the governors. Second, besides the diversion of public attention, the games provide a terrific outlet for the elite to wallow in the gravy. See, they-- the grand pooh-bahs of the 'International Olympic Committee'-- get paid flights for themselves and their entourages to the games venue. Then they demand to be housed in nothing less than 5-star accommodation; they get whisked about in chauffeur-driven vehicles; they are 'guests' at all kinds of VIP events; and they are generally fawned over by media and the over-awed masses. How nice! Wouldn't you, too, want to be reincarnated as an Olympic Committee member?
Not to worry, the governors assure us: the games will 'pay for themselves' in tourism, trade, and what have you. The facilities will benefit our people for years to follow, we are told. In fact, the benefits go mainly to the companies that get the contracts to build the facilities and to service the games. Sure, a number of joe-workers have jobs for several months; but the big companies just move on to the next mega-project, and joe-worker may or may not have more work. The big facilities have to charge Olympic prices to amortize their costs, so typically, it's only the yuppy class that continue to use the sites after the hoops and hoopla leave town. It's the tax-payers of the city, the province, and even the country who are left paying the mortgage on Olympic Games; the private investors take their gains and look for the next scheme.
Increasingly, there is a more sinister side to the sporty festivities. As the games became more politicized over the years, their visibility on the world stage makes them a tempting target for any alienated group wanting to make an un-ignorable statement-- ie. a venue for terrorism. In response, those who take on the staging of the games have to spend an increasingly bigger portion of the budget (already bloated with infrastructure costs) towards 'security.' As we are seeing with the Vancouver Olympics, security is becoming the unspoken theme of the event. Besides the inconvenience of road travel restrictions, the public has been given strict instructions as to what can and cannot be carried on one's person to the games. So it is that 'small umbrellas' are acceptable, while 'large umbrellas' are not... in a region renowned for its almost uninterrupted rainfall from November to April. Similarly, small bags can be carried, but large ones are verboten; but, in any case, the smaller, the better. Attendance at an event will require the kind of 'security checks' previously seen only in airports.
It gets more Orwellian. The Olympic mafia hate any public criticism of their games, and especially, they hate any kind of demonstration that denounces their 'game' (ie. the real underlying stratagems). However, since they pretend to uphold 'democracy' (as it's come to be) and 'fair play', they resort to all kinds of underhanded tactics to block dissent, and circumvent public protests. Anyone identified as an enemy of the games is kept under surveillance by the local police. Anyone from another country identified as a potential protestor, who tries to enter the host country is apprehended at the point of entry, and sent back to where he/she came from. Known protest groups are infiltrated by police agents who not only inform on their plans, but often goad the group into illegal activities to expose them to arrest and condemnation. The protestors are given strict limits and boundaries as to where and when they may 'protest,' and barriers may be placed in strategic locations to ensure that dissenters will never get close to anything interesting taking place. Oh, and there are police officers all over the place, just to make sure that everyone gets the message that 'they are watching you.' These days, you can now include the presence of para-military helicopters hovering over venues, and who knows what other 'teams' and gizmos are deployed to ensure a 'safe games?'
Yes, ve are getting our fun und games, and ve shall enjoy zem... or else! Aye, there's the pity-- the vast majority of the populace love any excuse to party, and jump right on the Olympic bandwagon of glitz and hype. And, it's a great excuse to wave the flag, and cheer our boys and girls actually doing the sports. There's a reason why the ruling class loves to stage sports and entertainment for the masses-- because the public, by and large, loves anything that superficially promises to be fun. The Olympic Games are the very epitome of the 'circus' approach to governing; so despite the growing price tag for these mega-rituals, we'll be 'enjoying' them for many years to come.
Oh, and one more, rather, 'er, inconvenient thing should be added, given the 'realities' of the new world order, post-9-11-01. If the Bejing Olympics were any indication, we should also expect some kind of 'moves' on the international chess-board, while the world is engrossed in the bi-annual extravaganza. Last time, it was a provoked dust-up between the Western-backed Georgia versus a rightly-stirred Russia. This time-- who could predict? It could be anything; the important thing is to be prepared for just that-- anything. Enjoy the games. ;-)

I no longer have an FT-817 (or anything which can receive or transmit SSB on any frequency).
Still got 28MHz FM from the FT-8900 in the car, so I do have HF, but I usually forget about that as I don't drive round with any antenna which can do 10 metres.
The 817 needed some work doing on it which after months I never got round to doing, but hopefully someone else has got it sorted now (or just using it to listen on).
Off to Manchester tomorrow in the car so I should be getting some APRS reports as I travel down the motorway. Been running APRS for just over 7 years now. Many new radios come with APRS built in now, but what would make them better would be some kind of internet connection via WiFi or ethernet, so they could work as APRS internet gateways (either on receive only or both rx and tx).

Tonight is September 16,2007 , (very early morning, actually) and I choose it as a turning point. On September 11, I responded to the opportunity to possibly be chosen for an early release of a very exciting book regarding my own home freelance writing business: Write About Everything Tonight I received an email from Sue LaPointe, the author, telling me I was invited to preview her book. I am thrilled. As I thought about it, I knew her name sounded so very familiar to me, but I could not place where. As I scoured through my PC, I saw that I had applied for work writing for her website on August 31. With a stroke of boldness that will either employ me or really make me look like an ass, I attached a copy of my questionnaire that she had sent me and re-sent it to Sue with a note of "aha". I certainly hope she doesn't feel it was some sort of a ploy, but rather an honest attempt to get the job. Karma, destiny, providence, God - I hope that I get the job AND the know how to get my business up and going. What better start??
Mark the day.

Sail Date: August 24, 2015
Ship: Enchantment of the Seas
Cabin Type: Inside

Traveled As: Family (young children)

Review Summary
royal Caribbean at some point decided to change the location of our cruise and instead spend 3 nights in Nassau Bahamas so they can work and do repairs on the boat. They never notified anyone of the changes and we has to find out on boat,staff was even laughing about 3 nights in Nassau. I booked this cruise because we were going to coco key and my kids love the beach there. Now the only option would be to buy an excursion to the beach which was total not fair. And another things I have never been on a cruise that didn't serve lobster tail in main dinning room, they had it for an extra fee, I was shocked it's usually included. I would not recommend this cruise line.

Publisher Sega has opened up preorders for Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault. Unlike previous installments, which were meant more as standalone expansion, this is a new chapter in the series that continues the World War II story.
As the name states, the game takes place in the Belgian area and revolves around the Battle of the Bulge, located in between hillsides and forest. As with previous chapters, there's an emphasis on the wintery environment that encases maps in snow and ice.
The Ardennes offensive was one where the historical Blitzkrieg term from the German side was seen at its highest. Through an element of surprise, forces moved forward and quickly conquered the land.
Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault is a singleplayer campaign and will give players control of the US forces fighting back against the German advancement. There will be 16 new scenarios, with some of them being inspired by the real battles that took place.
Players will be able to deploy three different companies: Airborne, Mechanized Infantry and Support. Each faction has access to three different officers, which further customize gameplay.
A troop progression system rewards veterancy, while there's also ways to lose out on a company for good. You'll be able to take on missions in a non-linear fashion.
Preorders for Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault will be granted an exclusive fourth faction, the Fox Company Rangers. They come with an additional elite unit and their own abilities.
Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault costs €39.99, which is considerably more than the previous installments, which offered other army nationalities.


text: The Elements of a Purchase Contract Posted on June 12, 2017 by David Cousins THE ELEMENTS OF A PURCHASE CONTRACT When writing an offer to purchase a property, there are many primary elements to the offer to understand and discuss with your real estate agent. These different elements can greatly affect whether or not your offer is accepted and if the transaction completes. Purchase Price – This is usually the first thing a potential seller will look at when receiving an offer and is the total price, including deposits, that the buyer is willing to pay for the home. This will often be the primary negotiation point when dealing with a counter-offer. Deposit Amount – There are two types of deposits in a typical real estate transaction; Initial Deposits and Additional Deposits. Initial Deposits usually accompany the Offer to Purchase, or can be submitted upon the acceptance of the Offer depending on how the contract is drafted. According to the standard AREA (Alberta Real Estate Association) Residential Purchase Contract, the Initial Deposit needs to be deposited no later than 3 business days after final signing of the purchase contract. Additional Deposits are funds that are due usually at particular milestones of the Purchase Contract, such as when conditions are removed. Like Initial Deposits, Additional Deposits are due at the time these milestones are achieved, or as per the terms agreed upon on the Purchase Contract. All deposits are generally held in-trust by the listing real estate brokerage and form part of the down-payment, or is applied to the purchase price, at the time of completion. Conditions – A condition on a real estate contract is an act or event that affects a party's contractual duty in regards to the sale or purchase of a property. These conditions must be waived by the specified time and date, otherwise the contract becomes null and void. Examples of the most common conditions are Financing, Property Inspection, Condo Documentation Review and Sale of Buyers Home. Terms – Similar to a Condition, a term is an agreement between two or more parties to complete a particular action or task by a particular date. Terms, however, do not affect the validity of the contract and instead carry other consequences in not completed; usually monetary. Closing (Possession) Date - This is the date that the ownership of the property (and the transfer of money from the buyer to the seller) takes place. Inclusions and Exclusions – These are specific items which are to be included or excluded in the terms of the deal, such as appliances, window coverings or furniture.

Canada's strangest looking racing series is back for another season. The Nissan Micra Cup has a six-event season, with two races each event, and it starts May 19th at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Bowmanville, ON.
A series featuring one of the smallest and cheapest new cars in the country seems like a strange idea, but this is the third season for the popular Micra Cup. The cars are surprisingly close to the 2017 Micra you'd find on a Nissan showroom floor. They have 1.6L four-cylinder engines making 109 hp and 107 lb-ft.
But then they receive some upgrades. All cars get the same racing suspension and lots of safety gear, including a roll cage, five-point harness, and fire suppression. Most of the unnecessary bits, like the interior, are discarded to save weight. Our own Jacob Black got to take some laps in one last year and said that the suspension and tires "offer frankly much more grip than this car needs."
The combination of tall car and sticky tires makes for some incredibly dramatic racing to watch, with lots of roll and dive into corners.
This year will see the last two champions, Olivier Bédard and Xavier Coupal, returning for another year. They will compete with drivers from across Canada, and even as far as Australia. Keishi Ayukai is a graduate of the Nissan GT academy and will be furthering his racing career with the Micra Cup.
If you already own a Micra and want to check out the series, Nissan can help you get in for free. They're offering a limited number of free tickets to Micra owners if you register on their site.

Rededication Date Announced for Houston Texas Temple
Contributed By Marianne Holman Prescott, Church News staff writer
The Houston Texas Temple will be rededicated on Sunday, April 22, 2018, the First Presidency announced on Thursday, February 8.
After sustaining significant water damage in August 2017 from flooding from Hurricane Harvey, the temple has been closed the past few months for repairs.
During the storm, rains breached the temple beginning on August 26, flooding the temple annex building, the temple's basement and the main floor. Water reached more than a foot high in the first floor and the second floor was not damaged. (See related story.)
"President M. Russell Ballard will preside over the single rededicatory session, which will be by invitation only," it says in the letter from the First Presidency announcing the temple rededication. "No open house or cultural celebration events will be held in conjunction with the rededication."
The rededication will not be broadcast to meetinghouses in the temple district and the three-hour block of meetings will continue as normal for all units on the day of the rededication, Sunday, April 22.
The temple is scheduled to open for patrons on Tuesday, April 24.
The Houston Texas Temple is the Church's 97th operating temple and the second temple built in Texas. It was first announced on September 30, 1997, and a groundbreaking ceremony took place a few months later on June 13, 1998. President Gordon B. Hinckley offered the prayer at the dedication held on August 26, 2000.

The modeling for controller design of a constrained rigid-flexible robot arm is considered. The mathematical model is obtained as a set of nonlinear hybrid ordinary-partial differential equations and an algebraic constraint equation. Galerkin's method is employed to discretize the partial differential equations. Because of the constrained environment of the robot arm, the choice of approximating functions in the spatial discretization is crucial for obtaining accurate simulation results from a low order model. Several candidate approximating functions are evaluated through convergence and accuracy studies. This work also investigates the effects of coupling between rigid- and flexible-body motion, and the effects of axial force (due to the contact force) on bending vibrations through axial shortening. It is shown that the use of inappropriate spatial approximating functions with a low order model can result in faulty predictions of the dynamic response, especially, the axial force effects due to the contact force.

How to Think Positively and Improve Your Life
Experts share their most effective tips to banish negative thoughts and be positive.
By: Lorraine Allen
Positive thinking is believed to increase happiness and improve lives. One recent study even shows that positive emotions like gratitude, interest, and love lead to resilience and lower levels of depression during and after intense crises. So how can we think positive and banish negative thoughts?
1. Be thankful: "One of the easiest yet most profound ways to think positively is to review all the things we are grateful for, such as our health, those we love, and who love us," suggests Swami Sadashiva Tirtha, DSc, author of The Hip Guru's Guide. Take a few moments each day, alone or with your family, and think of things you are grateful for. You'll gain peace, happiness, and strength.
2. Laugh: Humor is one of the best ways to brighten a dark mood and improve a hard day. Watch a funny movie, read some jokes, or tickle your kids. Remember to laugh every day, and don't only focus on your stress.
3. Meditate: A recent study showed that people who meditate daily feel more positive emotions than those who don't. Even after the experiment ended, the participants who meditated continued to feel a stronger sense of purpose in life, more social connectedness, and suffer fewer illnesses. Kathy Gruver, PhD, swears by mini meditations. "Concentrate on your breath, and on the inhale think, 'I am,' and on the exhale think, 'at peace.' And repeat. It stops the stress response, and keeps the negative away," she says. Close your eyes, breathe, and relax. You'll be happy you did!
4. Surround yourself with positive people. In the same way that people with a negative attitude can bring you down, supportive people who offer encouragement, think positively of you, and make you smile will make you think more positively about yourself and life, too.

5. Focus on accomplishments instead of failures: "Focus on everything that you are doing, rather than dwelling on all of the things you're not," suggests life coach Melanie Rudnick.
Jane Greer, MFT, a media commentator, offers similar advice: "To think positively, always look not at what didn't happen or didn't work out, but at what you learned from the experience," she says.
6. Write: Researchers on a study published in the Journal of Research in Personality looked into the possible health benefits of writing down positive experiences. One test group of college students wrote about highly positive experiences every day, for just three days. The second group wrote about a control topic. Three months later, the students who had written about positive experiences were happier, had fewer visits to the health center, and fewer illnesses. Wow! Jot down something really positive each day, and share it with your families, too, for a serious short- and long-term health and happiness boost.
7. Practice positive self-talk: Stop your negative thoughts by switching them to be more positive, like this:
Negative self-talk: I don't know how to do this.
Positive twist: I can learn something new.
Negative self-talk: This is impossible.
Positive twist: I'm going to try to make this work.

I know that money is tight right now for the majority of Americans and others around the world, but have you considered stock options? We've really spent a lot of time talking about the economy, our own personal financial condition and possible ways to earn more income along with ways to decrease spending. There are companies out there that can guide you through the investment process so that you can make the most of your money.
Wicked Profits is one such company. Upon a good review of their services, I think I can recommend them as a reputable investment advisory service. They've been around since 2000, so they're not the new kids on the block. That's pretty important because you want to go with someone who has a proven track record.
Why is it a good idea to invest? I think it proves good stewardship of the money God gives us. Remember the parable of the talents? The servant who took the money and buried it because he feared his master was very unwise and was scolded. Then the little he had was taken from him and given to the servant who had the most. That servant - and the next one too - took the money he was given and invested it. The money grew and the servants were commended for their faithfulness.
If you can spare a little to invest in your future, you will want to check out a service such as that found at wickedprofits.com to guide you.

The development environment is imx6q platform, linux kernel version is 3.14.52.
When I use the vProfiler tool to test gpu utilization (the .vpd files generated by vProfiler in Linux and use Vivante gpu tools (vAnalyzer) to view vpd files in Windows), encountered several problems as follows:
1.Running the samples in viv_samples/vdk coming with kernel 3.14.52, there is only 1 .vpd files generated.
However, running my simple Qt program(using QOpenGLWidget), there are 4 .vpd files generated, 2 of them contain only 1 frame and the other 2 contain expected number of frames. Why are there multiple .vpd files generated?
2. between the 2 "valid" .vpd file mentiond at 1, gpu utilization is different, one is big(over 80%) and the other is small (below 30%), and the addition of the 2 gpu utilization value is bigger than 100%(why?)
3. what does driver utilization mean ? Actully, I also want to known the exact meaning of gpu utilization because of the above question.
What's the meaning of Frame time and Driver time? What's the difference between Driver Utlization and GPU Utlization?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, if you're reading this, I swallowed really hard and hit "publish". I am so not looking forward to this, but a promise is a promise and I'll tell you this is one helluva way to keep myself accountable. I have taken my "before" pictures, and after letting myself completely indulge for the past 5 weeks, it is NOT a pretty picture. I am absolutely mortified. I was absolutely determined not to let my carb addiction beat me this holiday season, and was doing well up until "just a few slips" with treats the drug reps brought in…then I went on vacation. It is safe to say the addiction wiped the floor with me. Add to that I haven't worked out – maybe three times-and you have a recipe for disaster. It is my hope that by next holiday season, I'll have gotten so far past all this I won't have such a battle on my hands. I've quit smoking cold turkey, and that was hard. I can do this. So can you.
The thing is, more than the weight gain, I feel like CRAP. Moody, tired, YUCKY. I thought day one would be really hard for me, but I think I ate so much junk that I'm actually CRAVING real food. I was really geared up and ready to start today. As promised, Journal day 1:
Went to bed around 2am, so we slept until 10am. Hard. I felt ready to rock when we woke up this morning. 2 cups of coffee (normally half a pot), not at all hungry, so I decided not to eat but instead did a 20 minute oil-pull and brushed with my homemade toothpaste. Then we went out and played in the pool for a couple of hours. Being outside in the sunshine was SO refreshing. Made lunch for the little one but still wasn't hungry so I made our meal plans and grocery list for the week, watched the Lions beat themselves at football while folding laundry and cleaning the house, and put my gym clothes on. David grilled some huge steaks and we ate those along with an avocado around 3pm. That was it..I wasn't hungry the rest of the day. After running the kids everywhere they needed to go and grocery shopping at 2 stores, I got the kids settled in and hit the gym at 8pm for 30 minutes (and 3 miles) of HIIT hill sprints. I got my before pics, tried not to cry and vomit, then took my weight and measurements. Day one complete. I guess it's time to face the music.
Day 1: Height: 5'6″. Weight: 131.5 ; Waist: 29″; Hip 34″ (holy hell.), Thighs 21.5″. Biggest I've been since right after I had my last baby. OUT. OF. CONTROL. More importantly, this has been the moodiest, most exhausted I've been in months.
And now the hard part. Here you go. I can't wait to see the progress picture January 30th. Come along with me, will you? ~Cavemomma

I've had this fabric remnant for a while and have been waiting to be inspired for it's use. Finally I looked at it and thought it would be perfect for an owl applique on a cushion.
I love him, I would probley do black pupils next time but I still think he's awesome, and the cushion is much bigger than I thought.

KTM pulls out of Dakar Rally – Autoblog
KTM pulls out of Dakar Rally
Comments Add
Austrian motorcycle maker KTM stakes its reputation on the ability of its off-road motorcycles to tackle the toughest terrain on earth, and it's made a habit of proving these capabilities with both a factory team and a far-reaching privateer support program in the Dakar Rally each year. Up through 2009, that is KTM has just announced that it's pulling out of next year's event.
The reason cited for the shocking decision is the French ASO's ruling that all motorcycles taking part in the Dakar race in 2010 must use engines displacing 450cc or smaller. KTM's entries all use engines displacing a little over 650cc and will therefore not qualify. Instead of waiting for next year to react, KTM has decided to immediately accept the consequences and announces its withdrawal from the Dakar.
Whether this is nothing more than a case of sour grapes or an intentional move to limit KTM's chances of winning a ninth-consecutive victory at the Dakar Rally, it's disappointing to a whole bunch of fans with orange-colored blood running through their veins. For what it's worth, KTM says it will continue racing, just not in the Dakar. Make the jump to read KTM's official press release. Thanks for the tip, Mike !
The limiting of motorcycles with a displacement of 450 cc forces the long term dominator of the Dakar Rally to withdraw.
Following the announcement at a press conference on June 4, 2009 of the French ASO – the organisers of the South American Dakar that from 2010, only motorcycles with a maximum displacement of 450 cc will be permitted to compete, KTM, after eight consecutive victories, has decided to immediately accept the consequences and announces its withdrawal from the Dakar.
The company will no longer be represented at the rally in South America either with an official factory team or a KTM-supported team. At the same time, KTM underlines that the company remains committed to rally sport and will now concentrate its efforts on the world championship and other important rallies.
The organiser's short term change to the rules, designed to end the dominance of KTM, and which comes without any advance warning, hits the KTM factory hard. Today, just six months before the start – and at a time when not only the factory team but also dozens of private teams are deep in preparations for this extremely complex rally, the immediate withdrawal of the worldwide market leader of offroad sports motorcycle is the only possible consequence.
Every sport regulation needs changes and adjustments to new developments to retain an interest in it, but this also require the appropriate lead times. We have the entire material for the 690 Rally motorcycles for our factory team as well as that for 50 customers' motorcycles in our storage facility ready to be constructed in June. Riders' contracts have been finalised and all the team members have been engaged. The financial consequences that results from this decision are enormous.
Quite apart from this, we are shocked by the organiser's lack of loyalty, above all because of the huge efforts we made following the cancellation of the Dakar in 2008 by contributing to the new edition – even during a period of extreme economic crisis, said KTM Motor Sport Advisor and Rally Legend Heinz Kinigadner in a first statement.
Following the decision for the deployment of 450cc motorcycles, which are unthinkably unsuitable for use in long distance rallies, KTM can no longer economically justify a commitment to be engaged in the Dakar in the future. KTM Motor Sport Director Winfried Kerschhaggl: Rally sport serves to prove the efficiency and stability of our large volume series single cylinder. There is no question that we will remain active in rally sport!
Having said that, for KTM, the rally in South America is now history. We will now fully concentrate on the Rally World Championship and we will seek out alternatives. Maybe we will soon again see full KTM Rally engagement on African soil – back to the roots!
With its commitment to rally sports, KTM naturally takes the obligations to its long term worldwide customers seriously because it is they who have decided to put their trust in the products and in the unique service of the Austrian company for rally sport by choosing KTM motorcycles .

Saving the Last Rhinos
The last female rhino in South Africa's Krugersdorp Game Reserve has been found dead, and she's the 136 rhino there to be killed this year. Obviously, drastic measures are needed to preserve the remaining rhinos. The idea to call in police used to dealing with organized crime is excellent. As well, park managers should consider dehorning the remaining rhinos to try to thwart the poacher's desire to sever horns and kill more rhinos.
Research has found that dehorning African Rhinos is worthwhile and can save them from poachers. At least, the study published in Pachyderm No. 18, 1994, found that when black rhinos in Zimbabwe were dehorned, only 14 or 15 out of 210 dehorned rhinos were poached.
The study of the loss of most of Hwange, Zimbabwe's dehorned white rhinos found that the dehorning was not performed often enough and the anti-poaching protection activities were stopped. Thus, rhinos with enough regrown horn to be deemed profitable by poachers were killed, and no one was there to stop them. The study also found that rhinos need to be dehorned every 1.3 years to deter poachers.
Further, some poachers who spent time tracking a rhino might kill a dehorned rhino in order to not spend more time tracking it again. Considering that the South African poachers today use airplanes and visual location of the rhinos, hopefully they would see the rhino was dehorned and leave it alone.
Another explanation for killing a dehorned rhino involved speculators exterminating all rhinos in order to increase the value of illegally held stockpiles. This situation can likely only be solved through increasing policing.
Policing and other anti-poaching activities work together to conserve rhinos. Science Daily has reported that when Zimbabwe found that poachers were killing rhinos, after people were allowed to live in the conservancies and anti-poaching patrols had been relaxed, they responded with a multi-faceted approach. The Lowveld Rhino Project intensified monitoring of rhinos using skilled trackers and radiotelemetry. Rhinos were moved away from unsafe areas, and the most vulnerable rhinos were dehorned. Rapid reaction units, community awareness programmes, and technical support to develop options for wildlife-based land reform, were also undertaken. The program resulted in the achievement of some of the highest rhino population growth rates ever recorded, up to 10 per cent per year.
Sadly, the events of the last few years are tragic. Suspected corruption in Zimbabwe has resulted in 26% of the living rhino population being lost, and 89% of all black rhinos illegally killed in Africa, since 2006, according to Rhino Conservation. While this puts more pressure on South Africa to conserve the remaining rhinos, I also trust that South Africa will be different and could maintain a successful program. Perhaps the Zimbabwe rhinos should be moved?
When a Javan rhino was recently found poached, the Indonesian Rhino Foundation worked with a team that is creating a 7 mile (12 km.) long electric fence around a new 10,000 acre sanctuary and breeding ground beside the park. I wrote about this on June 24th in Javan Rhino Conservation. Perhaps South Africa, given that Krugersdorp Reserve is such a large area, could move the remaining rhinos into a narrower area to keep them safer?

Honda Civic Hybrid/CNG and Accord plug-in axed for '16
In a restructuring of its two most popular vehicle lines, Honda will drop the Civic Hybrid and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) models along with the Accord Plug-In Hybrid at the end of the 2015 model year. John Mendel, Executive Vice President, Automobile Division of American Honda Motor Co., noted the changes to the Civic lineup are driven by a model changeover and fuel economy gains using the latest versions of its conventional technologies. He pointed out the two new Earth Dreams VTEC engines slated for the next gen 2016 Civic -- including its first-ever turbo -- are targeting class-leading mileage with EPA highway fuel economy in excess of 40 miles per gallon.
Also: Class of 2016 -- New Cars Ready to Roll
In the case of the Accord, Mendel pointed out that in early 2016, the next Accord Hybrid will introduce a new 2-motor setup that promises to improve both economy and performance of this greener variant -- which is already the country's most fuel-efficient 5-passenger sedan. He intimated that enhancements to the production methods for these supplemental motors should further bolster the vehicle's popularity, although no word if it will also help lower the car's sticker price.
Also: Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards of 2015
With respect to the future, Mendel confirmed the arrival of the Honda FCV fuel cell vehicle in 2016 will be followed by the introduction of an all-new battery-electric model and an all-new plug-in hybrid by 2018. In addition to developing "an entire new generation of electrified vehicles that will continue our leadership," Honda also is working on a new strain of three-motor hybrids. "We remain committed to our vision for more sustainable mobility," he adds, "and we are excited to be introducing a fantastic lineup of products that are more fun and more fuel efficient than ever before."

Rictameter poetry, The corn field
Harvest time has arrived.
Corn field
Brown husky stalks
Swaying rhythmically
Patiently awaiting harvest
Soon the blackbirds will invade harvested field
Thankful for kernels left behind
Combine furrowing field
Blackbirds fleeing
Corn field.
Well done always exploring. Good Job.
Hi Ruby-this is a beautiful poem with 'come to life' images. It's just magical my friend :-)
I love this time of year and your poem was great! It made me think of times when I was young and visiting my grandparents home. Well done.
Enjoyed the time spent in your cornfield.
Beautiful as always, Ruby. You always do the best. I love the pictures. Thanks for sharing with us. Voted up :-)
Welcome back, Ruby, what a pleasure to see you here. Your rictameter poetry is perfect. And so are the images you have chosen. So, m'dear, what have you been up to?
Hi Ruby, what a great poem, and its great to see you too! we all miss you when you go walk about! lol!
Hello Ruby! I have msed you and your beautiful poems. They are always full of life and nature. I love this one. pIt is very earthy. Great photos too. :)
True, Ruby, we have come a long way, seeing each other grow. Here's to many more years of friendship online.
Thanks for the info. Those Turdus Merula are not in SA, although they have been introduced to Australia - the only country in the southern hemisphere. Seeing them in the corn fields in your picture has triggered my curiosity.
Take care, dear Ruby. I hope you are fine and still driving your three-wheeler :)
Your beautiful comment brought me to tears. That is perhaps the nicest compliment I have received in quite awhile, and is very endearing to me. We are here for each other. As Billybuc wrote, "what is lacking at HP...A concentration on writing for the sake of writing." I am so happy to see you return; your absence was felt by many, and I know I speak for others when I say, "welcome back, dear Ruby!" :-)
I could never detassle corn! It makes me all itchy to walk through a corn field. I was born and raised in Urbana-Champaign, but moved to TX after I graduated to attend a college. There used to be so many more cornfields around my old neighborhood as there used to be. Last time I was home I almost felt like I was in the wrong place! Things like apartments and post offices and Walmarts are now in their place.
Beautiful rictameter, Ruby! The English word 'corn' always confuses me. In my language corn is 'koring' (wheat), while you mean 'mealies/maize' with your word 'corn'....
While reading your poem I swear I could smell those corn fields. I am curious about those blackbirds. Do we have them down here? What is their Latin (scientific) name?
Ruby, I am sooooo pleased to see you have returned! I've never written this type of poetry before, but you make it look easy. This is a timely piece in light of the holidays and beautiful autumn that is now all around us. I like the way it flows forward and then back, with the words reflecting the very same action of what the crows and the harvest mean. Very clever and creative. Voted up and shared. :-)
The circle of life and the cycles of the season - in a corn field. Not much different in the real world, eh?
So good to read something that you penned, my friend..
have a great w/end dearxx
Hi Ruby :). I could picture the corns in the field waiting to be reaped and the black birds gathering what they can afterwards. Loved it.
I love harvest time and watching the big combines in the fields. We're near the sea so we have the gulls coming in for the scraps and worms as well as blackbirds and even buzzards. Like the rhythm and shape of this poem.
Hi Ruby. Rustic thoughts of yesteryear for me here Ruby. A really nice hub.
You reminded me of where I grew up, and so I smile. :) Ah...but then again. . .you also are from IL, are you not?
......to the place, I belong..........take me home, country roads...
It doesn't get any better than Ruby, your musings on my favorite time of year and the perfect country song.
You were missed, my friend and this is the very reason. Love, mar
Interesting, I've never attempted the form myself but you've opened the doors of curiosity.
RUBY!!!!! I am doing back flips that you published. Ouch, I think I pulled something. This is a wonderful, poem of harvest and renewal. Your distinct style shines here.
I love this form and you do it so very well! Lovely Ruby!
Ruby, I was wondering where you had gone and here you are. I miss corn fields. My grandparents had a corn farm long ago and I remember being in awe of all those acres of stalks blowing and rustling in the wind.
Anyway, loved your poetry and the memories it stirred.
Best wishes to you my friend

I love Northern Indian cuisine. The aroma of spices and melt-in-the-mouth pilaf rice or briyani rice is just out-of-this-world. You simply must have the curry as well and not just any curry..it has to be the one that is rich with spices and yogurt and tomatoes. Especially if you add mutton to it, the flavor from the meat will enhance the quality of the curry.
Why do I love Indian cuisine? Well, I just have to put the blame on my childhood best friend who is a local Indian. Whenever her mom cooks mutton curry, I will definitely get invited to a meal of Idli and her absolutely yummy mutton curry. Idli is my favorite 'bread' of all breads in Indian cuisine. Idli is made from rice flour that is milled and added with sour milk, if I remember correctly. I used to follow my friend to get it milled. That was her chore and since we were best of friends, we practically go everywhere together. I wish I had gotten the mutton curry recipe and how to make the Idli from her mom but well, I was only 10 years old at that time.
So, last week I attempted at cooking Mutton Briyani and it turned out to be a success! With the help from my collection of culinary books, here is one recipe that is just fantastic. This recipe is taken from '200 Curries' by Sunil Vijayakar. To accompany this dish, I also cooked the Egg & Potato Curry - recipe is also taken from this book. In this book, the briyani is actually cooked with lamb but instead of lamb, I decided to go with mutton. Good thing is, you don't have to alter the rest of the recipe. It's 100% reliable.
By looking at the recipes, you might feel overwhelmed with all the preparations that you have to do but belief me, there's really nothing to it. It's very easy and simple to cook. Try it!
So, here are the recipes...
Royal Lamb (Mutton) Briyani
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger root
150ml natural yogurt
6 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander
500 g boneless lamb (mutton cutlets with bones), cut into bite pieces
8 tbsp sunflower oil
2 onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp medium curry powder
200g canned chopped tomatoes
2 tsp cumin seeds
6 cloves
10 black peppercorns (optional)
4 green cardamon pods
1 cinnamon stick
200 g basmati rice
400 ml water (I used 200ml water, 200 ml evaporated milk)
1 tsp saffron (use tumeric powder as a cheaper substitute)
3 tbsp warm milk
butter for greasing
salt to taste
1. Mix together the garlic, ginger, yogurt and fresh coriander and rub into the lamb (mutton) and marinate, refrigerated for 4-6 hours. Heat half the oil in a heavy based pan, add half the onion and cook for 12-15 mins till golden. Add the meat and cook over high heat for 15 mins, stirring often.
2. Stir in the curry powder and tomatoes, season and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 mins or until lamb (mutton) is tender. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a separate pan. Add the cumin seeds, remaining onion, cloves, peppercorns, cardamons and cinnamon and stir fry for 5 mins. Add the rice and stir fry for 2 mins. Pour in the measured water (and milk), bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 6-7 mins. Remove from the heat. Mix the saffron with the milk and set aside.
4. Lightly butter a casserole dish and spread a thin layer of the lamb (mutton) over the base and cover evenly with half the rice. Drizzle over half the saffron mixture. Top with the remaining lamb (mutton) then the remaining rice. Drizzle over the remaining saffron, cover with the foil and then the lid. Cook in the preheated oven at 180C for 30 mins or till rice is done.
Egg & Potato Curry
1 tbsp black mustard seeds
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 dried red chillies
curry leaves
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp ground tumeric
200 g canned chopped tomatoes
1 tsp sugar
400 ml coconut milk
6 eggs, hardboiled, shelled
2 potatoes, boiled, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
salt to taste
1. Heat oil in large nonstick wok or frying pan, then add the mustard seeds. When they start to pop, add the garlic, chillies and curry leaves and fry for 1 min. Add the onion and cook, stirring constantly for 5-6 mins.
2. Stir in the chilli powder, ground coriander, cumin seeds and tumeric and then stir in the tomatoes and sugar. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 mins, stirring often.
3. Stir in coconut milk, add the eggs and potatoes. Cook gently for 8-10 mins till the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and serve.
Feeling hungry! Yeah, me too!

Australia's Race Discrimination Commissioner Dr Tim Soutphommasane is not only an overpaid and under-talented diversity hire, he is also a weaver of bad fiction in support of his own, self-serving hoax narrative.
For a recent column in the Fairfax press, Dr Tim has cobbled together an extraordinary tale framing 2017 as a year which saw rising support for White supremacy, the mainstreaming of anti-immigrant politics and a resurgence of Neo-Nazism.
Yes, comrades, this painful screed is every bit as ridiculous as it sounds; if one-tenth of the commissioner's mantra of rote-learned talking points bore any relationship to the real world then cosmopolitan, capitalist run Australia would be in serious trouble.
In the time-honoured Anti-Racist fashion, the commissioner seems to have written a list of everyone he hates, or who disagrees with the goals of globalist capitalism on his boardroom wall and wired together a schizophrenic narrative with push-pins and string, like some sweaty stalker out of a Hollywood movie.
Little of it makes sense to anyone who knows what they are looking at, Dr Tim writes of "Right-Wing Nationalism" as if it is an authentic political tendency; the reality is, of course, that few if any "Right Wingers" approve of the radical Nationalist program, preferring instead their attachments to Zionism and a version of multiculturalism which excludes Islam and Muslims.
This pig-headed refusal by Tim and his broader academic caste to look beyond the outdated binary view of politics has already made them into figures of fun; if there is an ascendant "Right Wing Nationalism" then according to that rigid worldview there must also be left and centrist versions, sadly for these blockheads no such tendencies exist.
In the time honoured Anti-Racist fashion the commissioner seems to have written a list of everyone he hates, or who disagrees with the goals of globalist capitalism on his boardroom wall and wired together a schizophrenic narrative with push-pins and string, like some sweaty stalker out of a Hollywood movie.
There are Right Wingers and Left Wingers along the mainstream political axis who all enthusiastically support the globalist capitalist programme of mobile Third World populations, totalitarian humanist equality for all and the replacement of the citizen with the atomised, unquestioning, apolitical consumer who is ruled by oligarchs and their bourgeoisie.
Nationalism, as we practice it is neither left nor right, what it truly represents is secession from cosmopolitanism, a rejection of the binary worldview with all its rigid conformity and ever-thickening tangle of artificial social mores and pedantic restrictions upon the liberty of the working classes.
Dr Tim wilfully misrepresents recent events in Europe and North America in his attempt to lull his readers into believing that, say, the mass actions surrounding Polish independence day, the electoral success of AFD in Germany and the ill-fated Unite The Right rallies in the U.S.A are all part of some global trend toward a resurgent White supremacy.
Again, real Nationalists would have none of this since we reject outright the mindset which allows one to believe that the world is now integrated to the degree that universal White unity is a realistic possibility; universal ideals such as this do not enter the heads of radicals, this is the mindset of the globalists or the religious nuts, Islamic Jihadists being the obvious example.
This brings us to another dodgy connection in Tim's web of untruths: Why would the people he labels conservatives, anti Semites or neo-Nazis have such a problem with Islam?
On the face of it Right Wing Islamophobia makes no sense, there is no logical explanation as to why one group of socially conservative people should be hostile to another group holding basically identical views, that is until one listens to what the right wingers are actually saying.
The natural reaction of the upper classes, of which Tim Soutphommasane is most decidedly a member, is to scoff and roll their eyes at any utterance by the "little people"; the problem, though, in assuming that their class holds the correct values and opinions on all matters is that these twits render themselves unable to take seriously anything which exists outside their bubble of self-satisfied political correctness.
On the face of it Right Wing Islamophobia makes no sense, there is no logical explanation as to why one group of socially conservative people should be hostile to another group holding basically identical views, that is until one listens to what the right wingers are actually saying.
The Right Wingers, on the other hand, take both cosmopolitanism and Islam completely seriously, probably more so than many Muslims and the faults they find with that way of life are all, basically, to do with its perceived negative effects upon multiculturalism, women's rights, homosexual rights and the interests of Jews and Israel.
Dr Tim mentions in his article Milo Yiannopoulis, the homosexual, Jewish, Libertarian provocateur who is married to a black man; Tim is seemingly agog at the popularity of such a character in this day and age, however seen in its proper context Milo's stage show is pure multicultural theatre, he is a perfect poster boy for the Right Wing because he embodies all that they hold dear and all that the upper classes lay claim to but, in their cynicism, neglect.
The Islamic Jihad in the West is explicitly aimed at smashing social cohesion in multicultural societies by attacking its constituent parts,. The Right Wingers are one hundred percent correct on that score. Anyone who is capable of thinking tactically appreciates the structural weaknesses in cosmopolitanism, not to mention the studied indifference to this holy war among the upper classes, the politicians and the bourgeoisie.
This inability to think like one's enemy by the people supposedly in charge leaves a cosmopolitan society wide open to subversion and the shock tactics of terrorists. If anything has become normalised in 2017 it is not "racism" as alleged by Dr Tim, rather it is this blasé attitude toward Islamic Jihad and its stated goals, which are the complete destruction of the multicultural West and the subjugation of its peoples by Muslims.
Further to his ballyhoo over the "Far Right" Soutphommasane also dramatically plays up the Neo-Nazi menace, albeit without specifically identifying anyone who openly admits to holding such opinions. We suspect this is because, like most people of his station his view of the new Nazis is likely informed by email circulars penned by Andre Oboler and the Jewish Board Of Deputies, so, therefore, we can assume that he knows nothing much about Nazis, either historical or contemporary.
Let us be blunt, Tim Soutphommasane is in trouble, if certain illiberal elements within the mainstream political scene have their way he and his fellow commissioners at HREOC will soon be out of a job, so he has to come up with something, anything really, to justify his three hundred thousand dollar a year salary.
The role most of the Neo-Nazis, as we have exhaustively explained in several articles is to stifle any dissent against globalist cosmopolitanism — to snuff out any spark of national feeling among Whites by tainting groups and individuals in guilt by association stings. True, some of these characters are motivated by the prospect of looting the money that organised political groups or clubs can raise, but in the main, they are wreckers under the direction of mainstream operatives.
Neo-Nazism, in contrast to Tim's thesis, is actually the nemesis of White Nationalism and self-determination. It is chauvinistic within the context of White Australia since it attempts to apply phoney Third Reich racial categories to the White Australian ethnicity, something which, given our history on this continent, can never be accepted by true patriots.
Dr Tim is peddling a load of horse manure. He is cobbling together a narrative of White supremacy and rising neo-Nazism to shore up his own precarious position as a globalist bureaucrat. If it all smacks of desperation it must be because Tim is, these days, a desperate man at the top tier of a widely hated bureaucracy.
Let us be blunt, Tim Soutphommasane is in trouble. Should certain illiberal elements within the mainstream political scene have their way he and his fellow commissioners at HREOC will soon be out of a job. He has to come up with something, anything really, to justify his three hundred thousand dollar a year salary.
Human rights are under attack by the minions of globalist capitalism; the idea is to roll back the legal protections available to citizens in the name of progress so that the transnational corporations can further embed themselves in the day to day life of working people.
Dr Tim is simply being made redundant by his real bosses. Maybe if he had done his job and protected the human rights of all Australians, rather than cultivating his reputation for arrogance, race-baiting and attacking the White majority, then he might have left his post in good standing and at a time of his choosing. As it stands though, he will probably be fired. His unpronounceable name will live on in infamy as just another haughty bureaucrat who got too big for his boots.

London Ontario Fitness Club ClassesCome on in and check out the great classes we offer. Find out what makes Forest City Fitness the best in London Ontario.
Zumba Fitness
Perfect For
Everybody and every body! Each Zumba® class is designed to bring people together to sweat it on.
How It Works
We take the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba® Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise. Super effective? Check. Super fun? Check and check.
A total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility, boosted energy and a serious dose of awesome each time you leave class.
Basic Yoga for Beginners
The basic yoga class will be done at a gentle pace in order to learn the foundational poses of yoga – opening, standing, shoulder and hip exercises, inversions, twists, backwards and forward bends, salutations, and finishing poses. Students will learn about the principles of alignment and how to flow into the pose using breathing techniques. Complete relaxation and breathing techniques will be practiced. This basic class will teach how to prepare for yoga, what to expect, and how to take your practice into daily life.
Pound Rockout Workout
Using Ripstix®, lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising, POUND® transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out.
Instead of listening to music, you become the music in this exhilarating full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and pilates-inspired movements.
Designed for all fitness levels, POUND® provides the perfect atmosphere for letting loose, getting energized, toning up and rockin' out! The workout is easily modifiable and the alternative vibe and welcoming philosophy appeals to men and women of all ages and abilities.
Fun with Fitness for Youth Class
Let your children explore the world of fitness by allowing them to participate in this FREE "Fun with Fitness for Youth" class. Parents can enjoy a workout at Forest City Fitness, well their children learn the value of keeping active. This class is meant to be fun and exciting to keep your children wanting to come and see what's next!
When the class is complete, the children will be able to enjoy a kid sized smoothie
at our very own Smoothie Bar!
*Parents must be on site for the entire duration of the class. First child is FREE.
Additional children are welcome, at charge of $5 per child.
Not your run of the mill bootcamp, there is no drill sergeant! Don't let the name stop you, bootcamp classes are designed for everyone. Just like our other classes, this has its own focus. Are you looking to get stronger and try new exercises that you may not have ever pictured yourself doing before? Then this is the class for you! While maintaining a circuit style format, this class incorporates weight training to give you that extra boost.
Kangoo Jumps
Considered the World's lowest impact shoes, Kangoo Jumps rebound shoes help reduce the impact of athletic activity up to 80% thanks to the revolutionary Impact Protection System (IPS), a kind of mini trampoline included on the shoe. It was specifically designed to provide a low impact alternative for individuals unable to participate in high impact activity due to issues or concerns about the immediate and long-term effects of repetitive pounding on the body's joints.
5 Tenets Taekwondo
A student can expect to learn:
- Kicking, punching, blocking techniques
- Poomsae – A series of predetermined moves using the above. (Recreational and Competitive levels available)
- Kyorgui – Sparring techniques and strategies for both the recreational and competitive level student.
- Self-defense strategies and techniques
- Board breaking
All students will test for new belt levels at their individual pace. At black belt, they will earn International certification. All students will gain: confidence, self-control, stress release, physical fitness, and new friends.
TRX Suspension Training
The TRX Suspension Trainer is the original, best- in-class workout system that leverages gravity and your bodyweight to perform hundreds of exercises. You're in control of how much you want to challenge yourself on each exercise – because you can simply adjust your body position to add or decrease resistance. Classes are tailored to participants.
Core and Stretch Class
Finished your workout? Forgot to work out those abs? Didn't want to stretch? It's time to get on the ab and stretch train! A total ab class followed by a full body stretch class is the great class combination to ensure you work towards that 6 pack you've always wanted! Stretching is important for all ages and has many benefits including increased range of motion and we all know a strong core benefits you in more ways than one such as aiding with spinal alignment and posture. Come join us for this new addition to our class schedule.

Myōe (Japanese Zen priest, writing in 1224):
Painting: Arthur Beecher Carles, Silence (1908)
Video: Bell ringing in the dawn at Deer Park Monastery, California
The winter moon comes from the clouds to keep me company.Myoe gives an unusually detailed account of its origins: "On the night of the twelfth day of the twelfth month of the year 1224, the moon was behind clouds. I sat in Zen meditation in the Kakyu Hall. When the hour of the midnight vigil came, I ceased meditation and descended from the hall on the peak to the lower quarters, and as I did so the moon came from the clouds and set the snow aglow. The moon was my companion, and not even the wolf howling in the valley brought fear. When, presently, I came out of the lower quarters again, the moon was again behind clouds. As the bell was signalling the late-night vigil, I made my way once more to the peak, and the moon saw me on the way. I entered the meditation hall, and the moon, chasing the clouds, was about to sink behind the peak beyond, and it seemed to me that it was keeping me secret company." He then went on to compose a second poem:
The wind is piercing, the snow is cold.
I shall go behind the mountain. Go there too, O moon.After spending the rest of the night in the meditation hall, he opens his eyes to see the moon in the dawn, lighting up the window. "In a dark place myself, I felt as if my own heart were glowing with light which seemed to be that of the moon." There follows a third poem:
Night after night we shall keep each other company.
My heart shines, a pure expanse of light;Excerpted from the Nobel prize lecture of Yasunari Kawabata (1968)
And no doubt the moon will think the light its own.

This Thanksgiving my sweet family and I had the opportunity to travel to Branson, MO to help our Gateway Branson network serve over 1000 people a Thanksgiving Meal. It was AMAZING to see God's love being shared with so many that night through willing volunteers! I must admit my attitude at first was not the best. A road trip on the week of our vacation with our 9 and 5 year old children didn't sound restful. But it was the BEST thing we could have ever done! The biggest blessing for me was watching my husband, and our two children be those willing volunteers. This year's thanksgiving was really more about giving than getting and we were blessed! Acts 20:35 says it perfectly, "…the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
Thanks GIVING, rather than Thanks GETTING

The main focus of my PhD was Moore's interests in Irish writers and writing, and her claim of 'Irish descent', which she made in a letter to Ezra Pound in 1919. An overview of these ideas can be found in an article, 'Irish by descent? Marianne Moore's American-Irish inheritance', which is available online in the Irish Journal of American Studies.
My PhD has also generated further articles and chapters: one discusses Moore's relationship with Irish playwright and critic George Bernard Shaw; another focuses on Moore's 1941 poem 'Spenser's Ireland' in relation to Irish and American politics during World World II; and the third looks at how Moore re-wrote the Anglo-Irish novelist Maria Edgeworth's 1812 novel The Absentee as a play in 1954.
For more information on these publications, please refer to my webpage on Oxford's English Faculty website.

If you're an unagented author at a writer's conference, your focus should be to pitch your work to as many agents and editors as you can. Get your work and your face in front of these amazing individuals who will eventually fight each other for the privilege to say they signed you. If you're already represented however, what are you supposed to do?
- Talk to editors and agents about your work in casual conversation. When sitting at dinner or during any of the Meet and Greet events, approach the editor your agent is courting with your work and introduce yourself. You don't need to pitch your work, you simply want to garner interest and put a face to the pitch the agent has sent them. Mention anything you're working on and if they seem interested let them know you'll let your agent know they'd like to take a look at the project. Ask them for their business card and give them one of your own.
- When you get back to your room that night, send them an email thanking them for the opportunity to speak to them that day and to e-introduce your agent. Make sure to cc your agent in the communication and mention that you spoke with them about your upcoming project and your agent will be following up with them.
- Network with other authors and ask them about their experience with the publishers you're interested in working with. If you hear too many negative experiences at one particular publisher, you know to avoid them and let your agent know. Make that discussion part of your career planning talk.
- Talk with readers and at book signing events, let them fangirl you. Feel free to talk about your upcoming projects or even works you're thinking about (especially if they're sequels to successful books) and start building the book buzz.
- Relax and schedule time during the day to take a nap, hydrate and spend some time away from the masses. You need to recharge your batteries and keep yourself as healthy as possible. While "Con-crud" is likely to set in when you leave, having moments of rest and keeping yourself hydrated go a long way toward keeping those nasty germs from settling in your system.
Conferences can be a great networking opportunity if you know how to do it. Mingle, mingle, mingle. If you're an introvert (and many authors are) think about attending your first conference with a close friend. Having a friendly face around while you're doing these scary things can help you feel more at ease.

Darkstorm - The Oath of Fire album '17
Darkstorm is a Polish Black Metal band formed in Warsaw in 1993. This is their latest full-length album, it is released as a CD limited to 500 copies by Putrid Cult.
The style is Black/Heavy Metal, the album contains 11 songs and lasts for a bit over 40 minutes. The sound is good and clean, the music is interesting with each song having it's head and tail, but still it's nothing unheard before.
The atmosphere is old school proto-black or, in other words, speedy and thrashy, which is something I always enjoy. Especially if it reminds me of Bathory, and this actually does.
Some of you may enjoy this, some may not - I hope all of you will still appreciate me sharing the rip of this personal purchase.

Mystik - Skalder Från Urskogens Dunkla Mystik album '18
Mystik is a Swedish one man band from the owner of Ancient Records/Mysticism Productions, who is also known for being behind (or a part of) other bands and projects such as Grav, Helgedom, Azelisassath and Bekëth Nexëhmü (just to name a few).
Mystik's first release was created in 2010, it contained two long songs and it was very limited and impossible to find to buy or digitized (at least for us humans with limited powers). The material this very limited tape contained has finally been reworked, remastered and officially released this year as a CD album by Purity Through Fire label.
I, of course, grabbed myself a copy, not even doubting about the quality of music on it so - this is what I'm sharing with you today - personal CD rip in high quality with scans.
I've listened to the album and enjoyed it very, very much and will continue enjoying this art in the future. In the sea of currently active bands, Mystik is one of the true black arts that bring the breath of fresh air.
The album has very special energy and atmosphere which I consider would be a fail effort to try to put into words (at least if you're someone like me who is a writer, but not a poet). Music speaks for itself, and I won't spoil it in any way. All I can say is - enjoy this art. And there are copies still available, grab yourself one.
