Running West to East between Gerhardstraße and Davidstraße on Hamburg's grid-like streets, Herbertstraße (or Herbert Street) is famous for its association with prostitution.
Formerly known as Heinrichstraße, the nature of the activities purveyed on the narrow thoroughfare has been tolerated since the 19th century.
Close to the port, the area was an important part of the services offered by the city to mariners on layover.
Situated on the edge of one of the city's red light districts, the Reeperbahn, the area is known as 'the most sinful mile'. Herbertstraße is one of several streets where sex services can be secured.
In this post, we'll take a look at the history and modern day story behind one of the most famous Hamburg prostitution hot spots.
Sex in Hamburg: Prostitution Through The Years
Herbertstraße Reeperbahn has been linked with the sex industry for many decades.
When the Nazis were elected to power in 1933 they simply placed wooden screens at the entrances to the street to mask the illegal activities whilst allowing the women to continue in their work.
Due to the amount of corruption surrounding the activities at the time, it was considered easier simply to mask the street than to shut it down.
In the seventies, the authorities added warning signs to these barricades; forbidding young people and women from entering. These screens still exist today but have a more playful tone to them and could be seen as encouraging rather than dissuasive. Now constructed of steel, painted red, one sign suggestively advertises '…for more foreplay', whilst another shows a scantily clad woman with the word '…for more tourism'.
The barricade is found to be a positive feature of Herbertstraße by the working girls as they believe it allows shyer customers to browse at leisure.
However, the iconic gated entrance has come under fire for gender discrimination as women are still not allowed to pass through the barrier. This was originally intended to protect unworldly women from being enticed into working and, latterly, to protect the resident working girls from any street competition. However unpopular this ban is to equal rights activists, it remains in force. It is rumoured that the punishment for ignoring the ban is harsh with offending women being doused with penis water; the water that clients use to clean up after they have been serviced.
Herbertstrasse: The Street Today
Today, around 250 women work on the street and prostitution is legal in the area (as well as in other designated areas of the city).
Just 60m in length the street is lined with shop windows in which prostitutes pose in order to entice potential clients inside the facilities. The fronts behind which they perform often open so that they may also talk to passers-by.
Sitting on stools or posing with chairs, the scenes you can witness along this narrow, neon-lit street are reminiscent of popular film depictions of red light districts around the world.
In fact, the street has been used as a location for several German films and TV shows.
During the day the area is busy with tourists taking photographs at both entrances but at night the area is mainly populated by potential customers. The Reeperbahn area is a hot spot for nightlife with bars, clubs as well as brothels and strip clubs so the Herbertstraße is typically a stop for any night out.
Services Available
Herbertstraße prostitutes offer a divers and full range of services from BDSM and dominatrix to straightforward suck and fuck.
As ever, it is advisable to ensure that you negotiate the services you require prior to committing to any establishment as well as prices in order to avoid any dissatisfaction.
The street has a reputation for its high-class girls and you can expect to pay higher costs than anywhere else in the city (see below).
Sex in Hamburg: Prices
As a popular area for the sex trade, the girls are never short of customers either from enthusiastic locals or tourists keen to try the famous Hamburg hooker street.
As a result, prices are much higher on Herbertstraße than in other areas of the city.
However, the costs are usually worth paying as the calibre of girls working on this prestigious, landmark site are usually of a very high quality both in looks and in performance.
There have been reports of several scams running around the city including on Herbertstraße where the girls quote a price for full sex to get you inside and deliver less than you bargained for. As ever, be clear with what you are paying for before committing to any establishment.
A current estimate of a full service on Herbertstraße is 150-200EUR if you negotiate well but there are reports of men paying as much as 350EUR for exactly the same level of service.
Your mileage may vary.
And so may the dent to your wallet!
Have you passed through the Herbertstrasse red light district?
Can you recommend any other hot spots for sex in Hamburg?

However, identifying transcription factor binding events which code for complex traits remains a challenge, motivating novel means of detecting putatively important binding events. Using a curated set of 1,154 high-quality transcription factor motifs, we demonstrate that independently eroded binding sites are enriched for independently lost traits in three distinct pairs of placental mammals. We show that these independently eroded events pinpoint the loss of hindlimbs in dolphin and manatee, degradation of vision in naked mole-rat and star-nosed mole, and the loss of scrotum in white rhinoceros and Weddell seal. Our study exhibits a novel methodology to detect cis-regulatory mutations which help explain a portion of the molecular mechanism underlying complex trait formation and loss.

An independent judiciary peopled with lawyers of great experience and high intelligence is a cornerstone of a civilized society.
This cornerstone is under attack in England and Hong Kong from narrow minded bigots who confuse the administration of justice with political expediency.
The judiciary in both the UK and Hong Kong administer the common law.
This is an evolutionary system of justice that, whilst enabling the judges to reflect the norms of the society they serve when interpreting the law, nevertheless provides a refined set of legal rules which circumscribe the framework within which legal decisions are reached.
The ability to dissociate one's personal opinion from that process so as to reflect the provisions of the law faithfully is an essential quality for a judge.
Barristers and Judges perform this critical intellectual exercise in their everyday work. Indeed, true objectivity is an intellectual exercise.
The common layman's query is "How can you represent someone whose views you find repugnant?"
The answer to which is that the lawyer, like the doctor, has no business examining the morals of his client or patient when dealing with their legal or clinical problem.
Which brings me to the nub of my argument: the disgusting condemnation of the English Court of Appeal judges who ruled that Parliament must vote on whether or not to invoke Article 50 of the Treaty of the Lisbon.
The Telegraph, Daily Mail and Daily Express truly exposed themselves as the gutter press with their vile headlines, respectively 'Judges versus the people' 'Enemies of the people' 'Three judges blocked Brexit, now your country really needs you'.
The Daily Express explored new depths of misleading journalistic depravity in comparing the situation to the threat of a Nazi invasion, invoking Churchill's famous "we must fight them on the beaches" speech.
Characterizing the judges as traitors smacks of the same mob mentality that infused the Parisian sans culottes as they cheered tumbrils loaded with their perceived enemies to the guillotine and Hitler's genetically lobotomized Brownshirts as they smashed the synagogues on Krystalnacht in 1938.
Have we learned nothing?
What was Teresa May government's reaction to this savage attack on the very guardians of our liberties? Initially, nothing.
Only after a spirited public defense of the judiciary by Chantal-Aimée Doerries QC, the Chairman of the English Bar, did the Lord Chancellor issue a statement. But the statement was only mildly critical of the yellow press attacks, prompting critics to wonder if the government was actually siding with the mob.
The Lord Chancellor, once upon a time the head of the judiciary but now an office that is combined with that of Secretary of State for Justice, is not even a lawyer.
Elizabeth Truss read Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford. After working as a commercial manager for Shell and Economic Director for Cable & Wireless, she became a management accountant before being elected to Parliament in 2009.
There is not a scintilla of evidence in her biography that justifies elevating her to the highest legal appointment in the Kingdom.
But that is indicative of the parlous state of UK politics which elevates the blind to lead the sighted.
As a teenager, after reading George Orwell's dystopian 1949 novel 'Nineteen Eighty Four' I clearly recollect forming the opinion that the establishment of a Ministry of Justice would signal the end of 'justice' as the abstract concept which civilized nations strived to attain.
Tony Blair not only delivered this consummation devoutly not to be wished, he also abolished the thousand year old office of Lord Chancellor as head of the judiciary, combining a newly vacuous office with that of head of the government department responsible for judicial appointments, the court system and prisons.
Now, most responsible people would have expected that Ms. Truss, in her capacity as government Minister responsible for the judiciary, to launch a scathing attack on the offending rags, but she did not.
Then one considers the political stance of these publications: the ownership of the Telegraph is vested in a company registered overseas; the owner of the Daily Express donated 1 million pounds to UKIP and the Daily Mail is also known as "The Daily Heil"!
I will fight to the death the right of newspapers to publish opinions which, no matter how outlandish, still have an absolute entitlement to be heard.
But gratuitous attacks of this scurvy nature on judges who, as their editors know full well, have no right of reply, is the kind of behavior that every Englishman and woman conscious of the fundamental national concept of fair play would castigate.
Hong Kong's judiciary is under not dissimilar attack when Beijing makes a heavy handed interference into a case already under judicial consideration, the unavoidable inference being that our judges cannot be trusted to deliver the 'correct' political result.
We live in dangerous times my friends!
Ms. Truss' name belies her willingness to support the judges. Our own Rimsky Yuen is, if anything, even more of a cipher.
Free men and women must guard our precious judicial independence, our appointed representatives certainly will not.

WIPO Indigenous Fellowship | open call
A Call for expressions of interest for the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) Indigenous Fellowship program 2017-2018 has been launched.
Since 2009, when the WIPO Indigenous Fellowship Program was launched, members of indigenous and local communities have worked in WIPO's Traditional Knowledge Division on issues relevant to indigenous peoples.
These include the WIPO Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore (IGC), outreach to indigenous peoples and local communities, WIPO's cooperation with the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The fellowship responds to the reciprocal needs for stronger capacity in the rapidly growing domain of indigenous IP law and for strengthened capacity on IP law and policy for indigenous lawyers and policy advisers.
Previous WIPO Indigenous Fellows have come from the Philippines and Australia, among other countries.
Deadline: October 7, 2016

Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy.
-- Cynthia Nelms
The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a human heart. One should imagine Sisyphus happy.
-- Albert Camus
There's only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I'll get married again.
-- Clint Eastwood
To love a person, I think the thing that only matter is try to make her or him happy. Getting love from him or her is not as important as that. . .
We must laugh before we are happy, for fear we die before we laugh at all.
-- Jean de La Bruyere
What has four legs and an arm? A happy pit bull.
Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies. . .
-- Erich Fromm
Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.
You know you love someone when you want them to be happy even if their happiness means that you're not a part of it.
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
-- Albert Camus

About September, 2011 I joined in the F.R.I.E.N.D.S Swap organised by Khris. My partner was Irene from Texas. I received the most beautiful gifts from Irene. Had great fun unwrapping them and looking through each one. Carefully put them all away so that I could photograph them before they were used. Then, of course, there was the rush of last minute costumes for Sound of Music and then the costumes for the dance concert and then the Christmas rush. Every day in my sewing room I would gaze at the box of lovely gifts and say "today I'm photographing those so I can use them". Well, today has come! I've wanted to wear the beads and use the diary and put the table centre out and use the beads.
Here they are:
So, apologies to Irene for taking so long to display her beautiful gifts. They have been appreciated - and I've been keen to use them. I'm going to use her diary to make notes for my Dear Jane quilt that I've just started. Just in case you think I am impossibly rude - I have exchanged emails with Irene - several in fact. So my personal thank yous were immediate - just slack in getting it done publicly.
One more item off my to do list for the holidays. So now that it's done - where can DH take me so that I can wear those beautiful beads??
Here they are:
|This was the table centre - just beautiful and in my colours!
|Here are all the gifts laid out - don't know if you can pick up enough detail - but there are some beautiful wooden beads, scrap booking pages, a fat quarter, the cutest little book of sayings, some gorgeous red beads and a covered diary.
|scrap booking pages and the little tea pots are coasters with the words: "sereni-tea: N. the absence of stress while drinking tea. Almost makes me want to make myself a cup right now!!
|This is the little book of sayings. It is so cute. Perfect to keep in my bag for when I need reminders!!
|Just another photo of the lovely table centre. So pretty
|This was one of the gift bags included. So cute all by itself.
|Couldn't resist a photo of this by itself. Nothing like a cup of green tea to help the day along - and adding in flavourings like peppermint or jasmine - depending on my mood.
One more item off my to do list for the holidays. So now that it's done - where can DH take me so that I can wear those beautiful beads??

We were headed back to Ontario for Canadian Thanksgiving and made last minute plans to drop in and visit the newest addition to the family and so I scrambled to make a baby card for them. Unfortunately I was in a bit of a rush and didn't colour as carefully as I normally would have, and as a result the baby looks Indian. Canadian + Jamaican = Indian baby. Not sure how that math works out. But there you have it. Arghhh! Babies! So wonderful.

Thanks Chris and all the others for your encouragement!
Unfortunately, my fuel flow gauge does not work anymore, so I do not have any precise mpg numbers but it feels like it has 20-25 more gallons of fuel compared to before the pilot house. Based upon this, I am guessing that my numbers are now about 3.5-3.75 nm/gal with a normal load of 2-3 divers and 20-25 lbs of ice. Previously, I would get anywhere between 3.75-4.25 nm/gal with the same load depending on seas. I would get about 3.5 nm/gal when loaded heavy with a full tank (55 gal) of fuel.

Scripture explanation (monotheistic)!
He created all things, by Himself, through Himself and for Himself.
Every domain, power, principality and nothing came into being apart from Him. (Col. 1:16)
Jesus Christ does NOT give his glory to another person who is a so called god, (Isa. 42:8) but all the glory must be to the Lord Jesus Christ! (2 Peter 3:18)
The fundamental principle of understanding the Scripture is that all Scripture concerning God must be understood and explained in the one person Christ Jesus our Lord and God.
Whoever transgresses that principle does not understand the Scripture and most likely does not know the true God!
All Scripture-passages where Jesus is praying to God, or talking to God and glorifying God must be understood in the light that the Lord God the Almighty Jesus Christ the Spirit became a MAN who fulfilled the duty and requirements in the office of the last HIGH PRIEST according to the law and the perfect spiritual MAN before God and to be an example for us!
God came in the flesh as the last high Priest in the old covenant with His own blood-sacrifice for sins and to establish a new covenant in a new order the order of Melchizedek to be a Priest for ever. (Hebr.7+8)
Jesus is the perfect spiritual man, to be our spiritual Father, teacher and brother, also as an example for us how to live a Holy Spirit filled life just as Jesus did, so that we would be called the Sons of God! (1 John 3:1)
Q: = Question. A: = Answers.
(John chapter 17)
Q: If Jesus is the Lord God, why did He pray? And to whom did He pray?
A: John 17 is called the High Priestly prayer; 1-5Jesus prays for Himself; 6-19 Jesus prays for His Disciples; 20-26 Jesus prays for all believers.
It was the duty of the high priest in office to pray for himself and for the people and to bring a blood sacrifice for sins to God.
Since Jesus is the Lord God in the office of the high priest He had to pray to God that is Himself, because there is no greater one to be found, He had to pray to Himself just like in (Jer. 22:5) where He swore by Himself.
Q: Why did Jesus address God as Father, if Jesus is the Father? Was Jesus talking to another person when He said 'Father'?
A: Like every man or son has a Father, so Jesus as the perfect man and as the high priest had to address God as His Father, which is Himself.
So the Father is the Spirit within Jesus, and Jesus is the Son of His Spirit (the Holy Spirit) (Luke 1:35), or simply 'God became a man'. (Always one person 'Jesus Christ'! whether in the flesh or in Spirit)!
For this reason Jesus said; "Don't you believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me"?
In other words; don't you believe that I am in the Spirit and the Spirit is in me?
God is Spirit and soul in one vehicle, the body of Jesus Christ! (John 4:24 and Isa. 1:14)
You have been created in His likeness, spirit soul and body. (Heb. 4:12)
If you are born again, or born of the Holy Spirit, then Jesus in the Spirit would have made His abode in you (John 14:23) and your body would be the Temple of the Holy Spirit, or the Temple of God.
The body is the vehicle of the spirit.
The body of Jesus is the vehicle of the Holy Spirit, where the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father (John 14:10), one complete GOD-MAN 'Jesus Christ our Lord!
Not so that God is a man!
Rather; God became a man in Christ Jesus our Lord!

XP's rebuild command
Posted on April 24th, 2006 by darkmoon
Ever have a missing file that a fresh copy of the Windows System directory didn't fix? And you REALLY didn't want to re-do your whole drive? This just might be the ticket for you. Windows XP has a little known "rebuild" command:
- Boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console
- Run "Attrib -H -R -S" on the C:\Boot.ini file
- Delete the C:\Boot.ini file
- Run "Bootcfg /Rebuild"
- Run Fixboot
This is the last thing you should try but if all else fails, always give this a whirl before you re-scratch.

Give your car the night off
Christmas parties and end of year celebrations make it the most high-risk times on our roads.
1 in 5 deaths caused by alcohol
In NSW drink driving is a factor in around one in every five fatal crashes. The message is plain and simple, having any amount of alcohol when driving increases the risk of being involved in a crash. You don't have to be drunk to have been affected by alcohol, which is why if you are planning on driving, the best advice is to not drink at all.
Leave the car at home
Consider other ways to get to a party:
- carpool with Co-Hop
- take the bus or train
- use Uber or GoCatch
- or walk in a group if it's close by.
Help your friends and family
If you are hosting a party this Christmas and new year here are some things you can do to look after your guests so they get home safely:
- Make sure you provide plenty of food, soft drinks and water
- Offer to let your guests stay over and
- Don't let guests drive home if they have been drinking.

Bad thing about it was that your parents loved to come there, too, so they usually told you that they would be there. Then you had to be on your toes and watch your behavior.
The facility has been closed for years and sadly, the structures are still there but in decay. This was reportedly the largest concrete pool in Mississippi and the entire South for many years. When Booneville got a pool, it took some of the load off of Corinth and Tupelo pools.

Petroleum Venus
Garima Goel
Dec 15, 2010
We are out in red, yellow and green, celebrating under the clear, dry sky of December. The four months of rains are behind us, except on the coasts, where you never know. It's not March the sixth, when we turned into the first African nation to slide out of British rule. I was born almost four decades after independence and in my young country, where very few live to recount the stories of the freedom struggle, today is a bigger day. An English company uncovered oil off the coast of Ghana last night. The British are back and this time nobody seems to mind.
The sleepy news channels are confused, excited, and upset; their reporters did not get a whiff of the drilling activity in the Atlantic backyard. Everybody is breaking the same news at the same time. No exclusives! Suddenly, nobody seems to care about the ongoing twin-murder trials in the Accra court house, where the defendant broke down last Monday, sending tremors into Ghanaian drawing rooms. The soap opera-like trial was the top story for sixteen days and now, overnight, a new reporting beat has been pumped out. On GTV News something was seesawing back and forth on top of a hole all morning and the reporter said it's a pump – a similar kind was used to pull oil out of the well last night.
In his message to the nation, an emphatic President John Kufuor said, 'With oil as a shot in the arm, we're going to fly.'
I texted Ajoba. 'OIL!'
The phone beeped. 'I am Petroleum Venus.'
I imagined oil running over her body, down her diminutive waist.
Jan 1, 2011
Our classes haven't resumed. Celebrations continued into Christmas and with details of the exploration pouring in, nobody wants to sit in the classroom anyway. They named the field Jubilee – the special anniversary of our quest for black gold. She hasn't been easy, they tell us, relenting after forty-six years of probing. Had I been asked, I would have named her Golden Jubilee. Three kilometres down the water, she glitters beneath the salty seabed. She is the largest of her kind in West Africa, they say, and pumps out the sweetest crude there is. Her reserves are endless, surprising drillers every day. And she is all ours, they tell us. Thanks to Jubilee, soon we will be awash in gas, oil, cheap gas, cheap oil. The petrol pump nearby will never run dry, electricity and cheap fuel will not be rare anymore; more factories, more jobs, and the silent street outside my window will be abuzz with motorcars. There is to be a petrochemical department at the University. Yes, President Kufuor, I will fly!
If you ask me, right now, I want to go to the coast and watch the waves crash against the steel legs that stand around her, swaying with the drilling platform. Petroleum Venus.
Under the blinking lights at the New Year's Eve party, Ajoba was wrapped in silver plastic. All the others girls had painted their nails black, only hers were gold. There was a joyful madness about yesterday's party, fuelled by Jubilee's discovery. Much before we ran out of drinks and the music turned soft, every conversation danced around the forthcoming largesse. Our cocoa output is declining every day and though we are still the seventh largest gold producer in the world, the mines are aging, somebody said.
'There really isn't much left in them except for the low-grade metal they spit out,' somebody else added.
The final round of shots, like every round before that, was toasted to Jubilee.
'Till the last barrel's out!'
May 5, 2011
Foreign correspondents are pouring into the country every day. For years they have written stories of despair about Ghana, painting us with the same brush they use for our neighbours Angola and Nigeria. Armed with vaccines for hepatitis A, yellow fever, meningitis, rabies and typhoid, they are back for a new narrative – the Jubilee. But they aren't satisfied with the pretty sound bites from the President who tells them our oil output will more than double in the next eight years. They ask about the paradox of stunted growth and development in resource-rich African countries, the so called oil curse that has plagued our neighbours.
'What's your game plan to take the wealth and dodge the curse, Mr President?'
Yes, we have heard about Cabinda. But Ghana is not an African country, it is an oil country. These correspondents were not around when Labadi road, which ends at the mosque behind my house, was renamed Jubilee. They weren't privy to that warm night under the blinking lights, when Petroleum Venus hung heavy in the air, oil caressing her long legs. They raise their eyebrows in suspicion when told Ghana has met its moment. The President shouldn't have gifted them paper weights with a drop of golden oil suspended mid air.
'You are drilling in the shadows of ravaged neighbours, Mr President.'
Bastards! We know that. I vow to not watch CNN this week.
Feb 10, 2012
The stench from Cabinda is reaching Ghana. Cut off from the other seventeen provinces of Angola by a strip of Congo, this oil patch looks like a mass grave if you believe what everyone's saying. Work at Jubilee is in that boring phase, where reporters find it too technical to explain what's going on. So Cabinda, our oily cousin, is the new national obsession.
Crisscrossed with tribes and clans, Cabinda has never stopped fighting. It fought Portugal out and now it fights Angola, everyday. The history of Cabinda is a history of insurgency, our textbooks say. Last week somebody called somebody 'fiote' there. It is so commonly used by other Angolans and many Ghanaians for Cabindans that it surprised everybody who heard that somebody was offended because a black man called him 'black'. With blood shot eyes he passed his large knife across the man's neck in one swoop, they tell us. Other armed men rushed to take stock and one thing led to another, everyone says.
The killer's tribal chief released a video soon after. With his back to the camera, he said it's not a sheer coincidence that this conflict-ridden territory is rich in oil. He kept accusing them, without really saying who they were. Pointing to the ravaged land around him, he said Cabinda was dotted with drilling rigs, but not a single pipeline crossed its heart. Our petrol pumps are dry, whatever little we manage to smuggle into the region is sold at vulgarly high prices, he said.
'Here we are. In a deep hole that oil resources have dug for us.'
Ajoba squirms with pleasure when I tell her why everybody surrenders to Petroleum Venus. She drags me closer with those bare legs, oil splattered all over. She glows.
Jan 30, 2013
Jubilee has brought a lot of white people to Accra. The English firm has leased out different jobs to American oilfield companies. The cement for lining the wells comes from outside Ghana, as do the strong steel pipes that guzzle oil as soon as Jubilee opens her mouth. For her upkeep, petroleum engineers are flown in from all over. A special security team of Ghanaians, supervised by a solid American, guard her all day, all night. I never got close enough to see the waves crash into those steel legs and sway with the rusting platform. The cacophony of motor horns is still missing from the Jubilee road behind my house.
Oil is two-hundred-and-twenty-six pesewas a litre.
The petrochemical course at the University hasn't yet started. They say these things take time and that we shall have a faculty by next semester. I have enrolled into the general science graduate program in the meanwhile. Ajoba, who also wants an oil degree, thinks it's useless to study anything else.
'Oil is our only opportunity.'
She hates college now, so I cut classes too.
Ajoba doesn't mind when he puts his English hands on her hips. He is a well-inspection officer at Jubilee with suntanned arms, she told me. She has stopped listening. She no longer walks like she has oil pumps in her boots.
April 20, 2013
In March, oil became the second largest source of government revenue, overtaking cocoa, and is just behind gold, our President of fourteen years announced. He won his fourth elections last week. The election celebrations however have been moved to another date due to disturbances in Axim, the closest land post to Jubilee.
According to a neighbour who works there, the problem started on the tenth day of Muharram when Jubilee's guards at Axim were mourning the death of the Prophet's grandson. Before namaz, they used cooked rice to stick Imam Hussein's poster inside the control room, which was almost entirely manned by Ghanaians. They tied a few flags outside before going around the back to wash their feet. The American supervisor asked them to take it all down.
'In all fairness, something like that just doesn't fit here.'
They refused. They told him a young Christian man John fought alongside Hussein in the battle of Karbala. The supervisor hesitated but pulled the poster down himself.
They ran to him with whatever they could grab – pans, spoons, sticks.
'Yah Hussein!'

'Ghana remains a net oil importer today,' a tv reporter said.
The first fruits of Jubilee were not eaten in Ghana. They were shipped elsewhere. There won't be an oil degree, without which Petroleum Venus will never be mine. She is unpredictable – calling me to her rich meadows and herself failing to show up every other day. The English man probed her virgin meadows, discovered her and locked her bounty in large barrels. He can always go back for more. In the evenings, while I sit in the dark, he changes out of his filthy protective oil suit and drinks too much and flirts too much. He also laughs at us, an entire generation blind to the real price of oil.
'Till the last barrel's out.'
Writer's note: 'Petroleum Venus' is borrowed from the title of a novel by Russian author Alexander Snegirev.
Garima Goel is twenty-two-years old, and currently studying political science in Hyderabad. She has lived in Manipal, in Bihar, and in Bangalore where she worked as a reporter for Reuters; hence when asked, 'Where are you from?', she can never answer. Garima is a member of Bangalore Writers Workshop, a community which welcomes new writers. She likes well-stocked kitchens, collecting play tickets, and Ogden Nash's poems.

Despite several initiatives by organizations like CDAC (Center for Development of Advanced Computing) and FSF-India, there has been a gross disinterest in localization projects. If you feel that there's something you can do about it, Mayank goes on to suggest a good place to start. Read more here ..
As an excercise, (see Step 1) i found out that several indian languages have been encoded by the Unicode standard (namely - Devnagari, Bengali, Gurumukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam) and hey - most of them are indian !
For Step 2, their ISO codes are Assamese (AS), Bengali (BN), Bihari (BH), English (EN), Gujarati (GU), Hindi (HI), Kannada (KN), Kashmiri (KS), Malayalam (ML),Marathi (MR), Nepali (NE), Oriya (OR), Punjabi (PA), Sanskrit (SA), Sindhi (SD), Singhalese (SI) , Tamil (TA), Telugu (TE) and Urdu (UR).
Now as the next step, we need if locale data (language specific info) exists for you a particular language. The name format would be ISOCode_CountryCode (Country Code for India is IN), so for example, the locale data file for Sanskrit should be SA_IN. According to the article we need to search something called a GNU libc sources (a library used by the Linux Kernel - the heart of the Linux operating system). I did just that and i found the locale data for Arabic, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu (hey ! we're missing Sanskrit and Urdu - two of the oldest ones !). As per the advice on the site, i did find others like Sanskrit and Urdu - though not in the form of glibc locale data files. In simpler terms, work is being done of these languages, but is not centralized.
Like Mayank says, i got through most of the stuff in a few minutes, but the major stuff seems to be translation. I never got around finding out what a PO file means anyway. But, the point was made - all that it requires is a little effort from all of us to help translate what stuff means in our mother tongue (thats not asking too much is it ?).

Accsense Monitoring Systems Give Peace of Mind
Accsense temperature monitoring systems provide hospitals and clinics with single and multi-point monitoring in both wired and wireless models. Accsense systems provide healthcare staff with voice, email or SMS alarm notifications of unsafe changes in temperature or sudden power outages.
For regulatory compliance in clinics and hospitals, Accsense provides users with peace of mind. All the temperature data and documentation is stored on our secure cloud servers to show to auditors. Using your Accsense Online Account, you can login through any Web browser to view data in real time and access each pod's historic data in graph form.
Call an Accsense representative today at (800) 956-4437 to learn more, or click here to request more information.
Accsense Temperature Monitoring Features:
- Continuous Temperature Monitoring 24/7
- Automated Operation
- Alarm notification via telephone voice messaging, email, and SMS texts
- View Real-Time Data as Graphs and Charts

Where Should You Monitor Temperature in Your Hospital?
- Medical Refrigerators and Freezers: Medical storage units require continual temperature monitoring to help protect valuable life science inventory including drugs, blood supplies, and patient samples.
Solution: The Accsense A2-05W Wireless Temperature Data Logger has inputs for two external RTD temperature probes and an additional input for a thermocouple. This makes it a low-cost way to monitor a combination medical refrigerator/freezer unit or two storage units at distributed points. Using a standard WiFi connection to the internet, the wireless data logger quickly connects to your WiFi Network. We also offer a Wired Ethernet version for LAN-based temperature monitoring.
- Vaccine Storage Units: Under the federal Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, healthcare providers must adhere closely to the CDC's vaccine storage and handling guidelines. The CDC recommends using to electronically document vaccine temperature history. Since most VFC refrigerators contain vaccine inventory valued at $30,000 to $60,000, a temperature monitoring system can pay for itself by helping to avoid a loss of product.
Solution: The Accsense Vaccine Storage Temperature Monitoring Kit comes complete with a NIST-traceable certificate of calibration, all hardware, and a one-year monitoring plan. With just a click you can view data online from any web-enabled device—desktop, laptop or smartphone!
- Hospital Morgues: At CAS Dataloggers we offer several solutions to monitor, track and send alarm notifications about temperatures in body storage coolers and facilities.
Solution: A2-05 Wired Ethernet Temperature Data Loggers helped provide a solution for Euclid Hospital located near Cleveland, Ohio. The Lab Team Leader explains why he went with Accsense for his morgue: "Accsense is very convenient for our remote monitoring needs; in case anything goes wrong in the basement, I've always got the alarm on my phone. All the alarming capabilities are great–now we don't have to constantly go down to the basement to check on the cooler anymore."
- Operating Theaters: Operating theatres and surgery rooms often require temperature and humidity monitoring due to condensation dripping from the ceiling. This potential risk of patient contamination can be prevented by taking remedial action in response to an automated Accsense phone call or text notification.
Solution: The Accsense A1-01a Wireless Environmental Data Logger has internal temperature and humidity sensors and will continue to log data even during power or Internet outages.

"... but by every word
that comes from the mouth of God"
Matthew 4:4
Hi! And welcome back. For those of you who are just joining us, we spent yesterday focusing on meditating on God's Word. Whereas today we're going to focus on meditating on God's Word.
We're nothing if not tenacious.
As I shared yesterday, I was surprised and interested to learn all the different definitions of the word "meditate," and all the ways to apply it to our learning of His Word.
Today, I'm all about how to do that.
This topic came up in my mind after a conversation I had with a friend of mine. She was sharing a trick she sometimes does to really focus on a verse. She writes it out or says it out loud several times, each time focusing on a different word, such as:
For God so loved the world, He sent His only Son
For God so loved the world, He sent His only Son
For God so loved the world, He sent His only Son
For God so loved the world, He sent His only Son
etc. It really highlights the details of that sentence, and you're forced to think about it in a slightly different way. I thought that was interesting, and I started to think about all the ways I study, or think about, or meditate on a passage or verse.
One of my favorite ways to focus on a verse, is to dissect it. I look up words ~ even words I know ~ in the dictionary. Many times, I find out that the word means far more than I thought it did. Say, for instance, the word "livid". That word has several definitions, including: "to go pale", "of a blue color", and "reddish". Now that's a word with diverse meanings!
I also like to focus on word origins. The word "spirit" for instance, comes from the Latin word for breath. This knowledge gives new meaning to the idea of the Holy Spirit, and to Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."
And then, as I shared yesterday with the word "meditate", I'm also interested in what word was used when the Scripture was first written; either the Hebrew (Old Testament) or the Greek (New Testament). English is a befuddling and contradictory language (see: "livid") and it helps to try to come closer to knowing what the writer was trying to say.
I also mentioned yesterday the idea of singing. A lot of Bible verses are already set to music, but we can do it ourselves, too. It helps us to memorize Scripture, but it also helps us to focus on different parts of the verse. A friend of mine once told me that any verse can be set to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," which I have found to be largely true. So give that a shot sometime!
And of course, never underestimate the value of memorization. Several years ago, over the course of a summer, I memorized all of Deuteronomy 32. I could say the whole thing. I can't any more, of course. You gotta keep up with something like that. But even today, if I hear a verse from that chapter, I know it immediately. Makes me feel like that chapter belongs to me!
The other thing I like to do is visualize a passage. Who's speaking? To whom? Where? Are there others there? If I were there, where would I be and what would I be doing? Remember: this stuff really happened.
One of the reasons I got on this obsession recently, is because I was having to work to understand a verse in John. It's 13:32, and it says (in the New King James) "If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately."
And when I read it, I thought, "Huh??"
At first glance, it seems like an odd statement. Or at least, in an odd place in history. Jesus had just dropped a bombshell on His disciples, telling them that one of them would betray Him. Then He gave a piece of bread to Judas, and told him to hurry up with what he was going to do. Judas left, the door closed behind him, and then Jesus started talking about God being glorified. So I really wanted to appreciate the statement.
So one of my first moves was to look at the verse in several different translations. This can be done in actual books, or online. This verse was so cool when all those translations were all lined up. It was just variation after variation of God, and glory, and Jesus, and glory, and glory glory hallelujah! I almost shouted "Hosanna!" right there in my LaZboy!
Just another way of exploring His word. But even better ~ then I understood it. I understood it so much, that I decided to stretch my muscles a little bit. My grammar-nerd muscles, that is. And so I diagrammed it. Here's what it looks like:
|Diagramming for fun.... 'Cause that's how I roll!
Meditating is a lot about understanding. But it's also about focusing and concentrating, and really internalizing His Word. No matter how you do it, it's all about the why you do it. His Word is not meant to be fast food, it's meant to be a feast! So dig in!
~ "And he said to me,
'Son of man, feed your belly
with this scroll that I give you
and fill your stomach with it.'
Then I ate it,
and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey." ~
Ezekiel 3:3

Easter Inspiration by morgan-melton-lemaota featuring Etro

Home wall decor
Easter is almost here!!!! Easter is such my favorite holiday. All the colors, the eggs, its Spring time. Growing up in a southern Church of Christ we did not celebrate Holy Week. As a young girl, my mom barely remembers celebrating Christmas or Easter together in the church. It just wasn't how they practiced back then. Thank goodness we have progressed as case in point our church has not one, but three spring time wreaths on the front doors!
As I grew older I sought out our history as Christians, read works from the early church fathers, and discovered Holy Week. It is the week from Palm Sunday until Easter Sunday when we celebrate the last week of Jesus' life. It is the Superbowl of the spiritual year. Holy Week is super busy. There is Palm Sunday, Good Friday, egg hunts, Easter Sunday and then a huge dinner with extended family. I have lots of stuff planned for the next week including age-old traditions and a few new surprises for my family. And that Peanut Butter Pie recipe I promised is coming on Monday. Please come back and check us out- Morgan ♥♥♥

Union Gallery Bookshelf Selection Project
November 22, 2016 - March 4, 2017 | Curated by Christopher Grant
Located just outside the gallery - stop by any time of the day
In response to the current Union Gallery Exhibition Reveal, this selection of artist book and exhibition catalogues aims to comment on the role of language in the formation and understanding of ones identity. The decision to predominantly display the cover of each publication is to remark on the identity of the book itself, as chosen by the designers and publishers. While the covers function to symbolically establish an identity through the use of visual material, they also do so through the use of or lack of language. This visual identification is intended to express the entirety of what is to come in a brief moment, a glance or passing, and through this to draw in the passerby, enticing them to delve deeper into the book. Ones own fashions and style of dress operate in a similar waywhere self-defining elements are used to not only announce our chosen identity, but also the markers of that identity. These visual elements can help us self-identify, as well as identify the groups with which we associate.
It is noteworthy that some of the selections incorporate language that is in reverse. At times the backwards text is purposefully misleading, while at other times it is playfully hidden. However it is presented, this backward usage accomplishes a disassociation with the words intended meaning, while still representing itself as a readable element. With some texts the lines are broken, with redacted or knitted transgressions purposefully disturbing the readers ability to understand, while also at times highlighting specifically what one should understand. The authoritative nature of these textual disturbances gesture toward loss of choice, a nuance those who have lost their own language understand. It is through this process that histories fade, understanding lessens and divisions begin. Division between ones self, and ones own culture, heritage, surrounding. These divisions are what transcend generations and what filters diversity to uniformity through a loss of understanding of the cultural waypoints that language helps us to navigate.
