Normad/Nomad (ノーマッド Nōmaddo?) is an artificial intelligence placed within a pink, stuffed, tanuki-like doll. He is carried around by Vanilla H and serves the Angel Troupe by providing information and analyses. When removed from his stuffed body, his actual form is a transparent circuit board/diskette. Some of the humor in the series involve Normad's constant put-downs toward others and inability to avoid injury.
Normad was originally a guidance program for a missile. However, being capable of logical thought, he realized that the missile's detonation would bring about his death, and so left the silo before his mission took place. For some time, Normad drifted across space until ending up in a debris field where he was recovered by the Angels and brought to their base for salvaging. Upon discovering a sentient AI in the missile, the Angels extracted his programming and gave him his stuffed body.
Normad shows little to no tact talking to or about other people. He is especially critical to the Angels and frequently describes them as greedy, inept, and monstrous. Targets of his criticism would often return the favor, inflicting harm upon his stuffed body. Despite his badmouthing, Normad is deeply in love with Vanilla and endlessly compliments her and just about everything she does. So enamored is he that on a couple occasions he would remotely operate base weaponry with the intent to harm those he sees as threats to his relationship with her. Vanilla, however, seems oblivious to his praise and periodically abuses him herself.
As his body is nothing more than a stuffed animal, Normad has no capacity for movement and must rely on Vanilla and others to carry him around. As a consequence, he is frequently in harm's way, a problem exasperated by Vanilla's indifference and his demeanor toward others. Among other things, he has been shot, beaten, crushed, burned, twisted, boiled, eatened, kidnapped, blasted, transmogrified, and raped at least once. Amazingly, the disk within his body is never damaged.
Four years after his recovery from the missile, his whereabouts is unknown. Vanilla seems to no longer have him. However, his role in the anime of guiding the Angels and getting physically abused appears to be taken by Kahlua Marjoram's companion, Mimolette.
- Shot at countless times, especially by Forte.
- Ranpha forcefully ripped out his card and jammed it into a cactus, which for a moment functioned as his new body.
- When stranded in a cave, Vanilla became hungry enough to try eating him.
- Used a wish-making device that shortens the user's life span and lost over 700 years, or half his life span.
- Strapped with dynamite and detonated.
- When Milfeulle was turned into a baby, she suckled upon his body and soaked drool into him.
- When used to plug a breach in a space station, his stuffing was blown out into space.
- Doused in alcohol by Ranpha and ignited.
- Caught fire in a forest fire and lost half his body.
- Used as bait by Vanilla in capturing a sea serpent.
- Occasionally used as a guinea pig for Lost Technology with unknown powers.
- Was kidnapped by a man who wanted to sell Normad due to his vast knowledge. He was rescued by Vanilla, though her reason for doing so was so that she could use Normad as a seat cushion.
- When entering a strange spacecraft believed to hold lost technology, the other angels threw Normad in and bounced him off the wall to make sure it was safe to enter.
- Normad's voice is performed by Mika Kanai, who also does the voice of Vanilla. Richard Ian Cox voices Normad in the English dub.
- Normad's full name as it appeared in the anime is MA347612890GT4078579132R74 00Z 17924398TZR Two Thousand Modular Guided Type 452963752391MQTO Gold Launch System GLS-equipped Self-Judgment Model Type Double-O Three Seven 293165734285YGNKTIO1200YMCA4126PPPKG53 Normad (MA347612890GT4078579132R74マルマルZ17924398TZR二千モジュラー誘導タイプ452963752391MQTOゴールドランチシステムGLS搭載自己判断型タイプダブル・オー・スリーセブン 293165734285YGNKTIO1200YMCA4126PPPKG53ノーマッド?)
- It was eventually revealed that Normad was created to destroy a sentient giant dice in space named Kyutaro. This mysterious entity is capable of reading human minds, causing it to become immune to direct attacks by humans. As it cannot sense non-human minds (i.e. artificial intelligence), Normad's mission was to pilot a missile into Kyutaro.
- Normad/Nomad is likely a reference to an episode of the original Star Trek TV series, "The Changeling" . In this episode the Enterprise encounters a sentient weapon in space named Nomad. Both robots have very high pitched voices.
- (To Forte, Mint and Ranpha) "You're all thinking something bad, aren't you?"
- (To Milfeulle) "Don't "Heehee" this. I'll burn you.

By Jillian Beck | Cal State LA News Service
The Cal State LA community participated in several Mind Matters events at the close of the fall semester, promoting inner well-being on campus.
Cal State LA President William A. Covino and First Lady Debbie Covino presented Mind Matters Champion awards on Dec. 11 for outstanding efforts in promoting inner well-being on campus. The three awardees—student Dylan Gunaratne, faculty member Kristen Hourigan and staff member Anna Lovoy—were nominated by members of the University community.
This is the first year of the awards, which recognize students, faculty and staff who show exceptional and innovative dedication to the inner well-being of others. "They are really helping us with our strategic priority to make Cal State LA a welcoming and inclusive campus," the president said of the awardees.
Golden Eagles de-stressed before finals with therapy dogs and a cat from local nonprofit Love On 4 Paws. Students got some love from the furry friends on Nov. 28 while President and First Lady Covino walked one of the therapy dogs around campus and handed out Mind Matters granola bars.
The latest speaker in the Mind Matters lecture series was Victor Narro, project director of the UCLA Labor Center and an advocate for immigrant rights and low-wage workers. Narro shared simple and restorative practices of mindfulness at an event Nov. 14 to help activists ground their work in an ethic of self-care.

"Patriarchy and Play in The Taming of the Shrew"
Concerning Novy's subject matter, we may think that in Shakespeare's time marriages were arranged, women were subservient, and husbands were lords and masters of their houses, but though there is truth in these generalizations, they don't tell the whole story. And so Shakespeare is still relevant simply because he does tell the whole story, one that is often ambiguous rather than perfectly clear, and suggestive rather than conclusive. Specifically, Novy points out that "a surprising range of evidence suggests that both patriarchy and mutuality were ideals for marriage in Elizabethan England" (4), and goes on to say, "in his comedies and romances Shakespeare creates images of gender relations that keep elements of both patriarchy and mutuality in suspension" (6).
In The Taming of the Shrew, says Novy, "Petruchio is not only a dominant husband but also a player of games he wants Kate to join" (6); thus Petruchio, the "dominant husband," represents patriarchy, but he invites Kate to join a game of spoof against convention, and so he also represents mutuality. Similarly, Kate gives a famous speech commanding other women (her sister in particular) to obey their husbands, but she is in on the game that Petruchio plays against the other men. The members of the audience, in Shakespeare's time and ours, can take it as they like, and perhaps do a little thinking while they are laughing. Here is how Novy puts it:
In summary, the ambiguous combination of patriarchy and play in The Taming of the Shrew helps it appeal to spectators who are divided among and within themselves in their attitudes toward marriage. In a time of social transition when Renaissance England felt conflict not only between contrasting images of marriage but also between nostalgia for an older order and a new awareness of individuality, inner passions, and outer chaos, the game element in The Shrew sets up a protected space where imagination permits the enjoyment of both energy and form, while the dangers of violence, tyranny, deadening submission, and resentment magically disappear. The game context permits Petruchio and Katherine to modulate from antagonists to co-creators of a new world to ruler and subject, and encourages the spectators to see as most important whichever pair of roles they choose and consider the others as "only a game.' (62)Bottom Line: Something of a trudge, but persuasive.

Do you want to be a tow truck driver? Well this is the perfect game where you can be so. Towing mania is all about moving your truck to the wrecked cars, hooking them up and bringing them to the tow pound. Well sounds easy but you got to control the truck properly so that you don't hit the walls and other cars.
First you have to move the truck to the wrecked car, place the truck in a correct position so as to hook it. Then you have to move the car in tow pound, which will lead you to the next level. Each level comes with different kinds of difficulty like complex roads with twists and turns and heavy traffics. You need to be careful while moving the truck to its destination and the time gauge records the best time in which you complete the whole task.

Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making massive ammonts of cash with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on quite successful business models made accessible due to the growing use of blockchain technology.
It should be hard to get more modest gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having modest gains is more rewarding than trying to resist up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there's more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that haven't made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz.
or PayPal. The third parties take a transaction fee.
You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times)

Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also take part in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or another regulatory agencies. As such, it truly is more resistant to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and seclusion can easily be reached by just being smart, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous.
Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in money financing, it truly is a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you are needed fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for seeing them. You are able to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have rather inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to produce a fair investment strategy.
When searching on the web for The Affluence Network cryptotoken website, there are many things to think of.

In the event of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could even be exchanged being a commodity. Supporters of cryptocurrencies announce that this form of personal money isn't governed by a central banking system and is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are a limited variety of goods, this money's benefit is dependant on market forces, permitting entrepreneurs to industry over cryptocurrency exchanges.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the dynamics of the method in which it is transacted. All exchanges over a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. After youare paid, you get paid. This is not something shortterm where your web visitors can dispute or desire a discounts, or employ dishonest sleight of palm. Used, most traders will be smart to use a fee processor, due to the permanent dynamics of crypto currency deals, you need to make certain that safety is difficult. With any form of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially get access to your personal secrets and so grab your cash. Sadly, you almost certainly will never get it back. It is vitally important for you to adopt some great secure and safe practices when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing this may protect you from all of these bad activities.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same way a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is simply a representation of value, but there is absolutely no real palpable type of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a greater chance of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, according to the number of shares won.
If you're considering going it alone, it really is worth noting that the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a stable flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the reward.

Many people choose to use a currency deflation, notably those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial privacy, for example, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living pay check to pay check, it would take place included in your riches, with the remainder allowed for other currencies.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network is now the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the right spot at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet together these businesses decide how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centered business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated promoter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present built-in problems to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
You've probably heard this often times where you frequently spread the good word about crypto. It's not risky? What happens when the price accidents? to date, several POS systems provides free transformation of fiat, relieving some issue, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people is likely to be hesitant to hold any. We need to discover a way to combat the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether may result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to run or to stop operation.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is fundamentally important to comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we know them now where Governments and banks can only select to print endless quantities (I am not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.

You are here: > Security Camera > Home Security > Home Window Security & Window Alarms
A window is not only what enables one to look out at the landscape, yard or neighborhood; it's also part of the feel and overall aesthetic of the house. When considering new windows for your home, or improvements to existing windows, their ability to keep unwanted visitors out should factor into your decision.
A basic window consists of two parts: the material that enables visibility and the frame which typically allows the window to be opened and closed. For a burglar, cheap window materials used in the construction of either are an opportunity.
The first step in considering home window security should be obvious: How does one make glass harder to break? Is there any such thing as a burglar proof window?
Today, there are several materials that give homeowners better options than simple glass windows. Tempered glass, which is strengthened by a cooling process added to the manufacturing routine, is several times stronger than ordinary glass and, thus, much harder to break. Laminated glass makes use of a layer of plastic or similar material between two layers of glass.
Breaking one of these windows yields a result similar to trying to break a car's windshield: A great deal of force will only knock out a small piece of glass, with most of the force simply "spider-webbing" the glass around the small hole. For the highest security concerns, glass that contains wires within it is great deterrent in addition to being extremely difficult to penetrate. When considering reinforced windows, however, remember that any window on a second or higher floor must be able to be used as an emergency fire escape. Good security means being able to get out of your house in an emergency situation, not just being able to keep others from getting in.
The frame into which the window is set is another factor, which depends upon the quality of the frame itself, the means by which it's opened and the locking hardware used to keep it from moving. A high quality lock or a high-security add-on such as a burglar window bar is your best defense against someone simply sliding the window open. Window bars can either be solid devices that prevent a window from being slid open or a secondary device, usually made of several bars and a lock, that mount to the outside of the house, inhibiting any access to the window itself. Another vital aspect is how to secure basement windows, which are a well known and easy target for intruders and how simple diy home security can already increase safety near ground level doors and basement windows. How to protect doors and entrances against burglars with bars and door alarms is the next precaution you should consider after securing your home's windows.
When all of the physical barriers fail, however, an intruder alarm affixed to a window is the best defense. A window alarm is generally set to trip under two conditions: the window glass itself is broken or the window is opened while the alarm is armed. In either case, the siren that sounds when the alarm is tripped is a powerful deterrent. Whether or not anyone is home, a burglar has completely lost their stealth advantage and they know that the alarm company is sure to call police to the scene immediately.
The installation of monitoring home security technology is another possibility to provide efficient protection against burglary and gain recorded proof of the committed criminal act. The installation of a security safe is of course the best way to secure precious documents, cash, jewelry, or valuable metals, that can be stored in a hidden wall safe.

Cabo Verde (Cape Verde), that country my parents left over 40 years ago to find a better life and to which I crave to return now!
It is situated on the shores of West Africa. It's a nation that counts more capeverdeans outside the country than inside. We are literally EVERYWHERE in the world, with a big concentration in the Netherlands, Portugal, Canada, France and the USA.
10 islands with each its own beauty, the most kind and welcoming people you will find. We are mostly a mixed race due to our history, you can find light skinned blonds with blue eyes to very dark skinned beauties.
Also we have a magnificent Carnival which I heard is the most beautiful after Rio and for participating in it this year I can tell you that it's pretty amazing!! I was blown away.
- Carnaval de Mindelo, Sao Vicente
It all started out as a joke for me. I had always wanted to see the Carnival in Mindelo on the island of Sao Vicente and made it a point to be there this year. You know when you want to travel the world and go everywhere except where you come from because you think it will always be there…
So as soon as I was sure to have my vacation at that time I booked my tickets!
Then my cousin who participated in the Carnival last year said "Doris you should participate with me"…I was like yeah sure sweetie :p but it was a yes and she was dead serious and once I give my word I don't like to bail on people…
So here we go, I leave Luxembourg on February 24th, arrive in Sao Vicente on the next day (it's a 6hours flight total from Lux but had an overnight layover in Lisbon). Had to rush to the costume maker for her to get my measures. She had 2 days to get my whole costume done. I must say I was pretty impressed with their work, very quick and professional. So the morning of Carnival, on the 28th I got my costume all done and ready.
But the Carnival had already started before I got there. Through the whole month of February the streets of Mindelo are packed with disguised people and colorful parades.
Our parade was on the last official Carnaval day. My group Monte Sossego or Montesu like we say, was the first to hit the streets of Mindelo for a tour of 4 hours.
When we arrived there I was amazed! All that work it takes to make that magic happen. The floats were all spectacular and beautifully colored. To be honest I wasn't thrilled to do it. I'm quite shy and not an outgoing person so I was a bit anxious, but once I was on that float I was like "Wow, I'm so blessed and lucky to be here and be part of this". So I totally enjoyed myself and I was proud of myself for doing it once it was over.
- Visit to Santiago
This time I absolutely wanted to visit our capital, Praia situated on the Island of Santiago.
Cape Verde is divided into two groups of Islands: the northern Islands (Santo Antao, Sao Vicente, Santa Luzia, Sao Nicolau, Sal and Boa Vista) also called Barlavento (Windward) and the southern Islands (Brava, Fogo, Santiago and Maio) called Sotavento (Leeward).
In Barlavento we are mostly mixed and light skinned with more european influences. Sotavento people are mostly dark skinned and stayed closer to the African roots.
Cape Verde was uninhabited until Portuguese navigators discovered it in 1456 and founded the first European colony in the tropics on the Island of Santiago. The city of Ribeira Grande, now Cidade Velha (Old City) was the first city in Cape Verde and was a first stop for the transatlantic slave trade on the shores of Africa. It was also the first christian city established in Africa.
The city flourished thanks to slave trade and was attacked several times by pirates, french and english navigators. Due to these attacks people fled from Ribera Grande to Praia which became the new Capital.
After the decline of slave trade the port of Mindelo became the first economical attraction. That's where the navigators stopped for supplies on their way around the World.
Cidade Velha is a place where you feel the emotion of one of humanities biggest drama that still has a huge impact on the descendants of those people who were taken from their motherland Africa against their will. Cape Verdeans have the same roots as African Americans and Afro Carribean people, we just got off the slave ships a bit earlier than them and closer to home.
We spent a few days in Praia, which is a very modern and pleasant city, staying in a residence with a breathtaking view on the sea. We visited the outdoor market Sucupira where you can find everything you need. They sell gorgeous African fabrics and even create your clothes within two days. You can buy shoes, clothes, souvenirs and even get your hair and nails done.
We took a drive through the Island to visit Tarrafal. It's situated on the other side of the Island and the drive there takes you through beautiful sceneries whether through the mountains or along the shores of Santiago.
The beach of Tarrafal is a very beautiful and peaceful place. Women come to offer you coconut water from the coconut they cut right in front of you and when you finish drinking it they come back to completely cut it open so you can eat the flesh from it. After that we had a good caipirinha. An Italian woman who went on vacation there never left and now sells those delish caipirinhas on the beach of Tarrafal. What a life!
There is a kind of stupid rivalry between Barlavento and Sotavento inhabitants and everybody told me "What are you going to do in Praia??" I told them I was doing something for my general knowledge. And let me tell you that if I could I would have stayed longer in Santiago.
- Back to Santo Antao
After five lovely days in Santiago with the most amazing host, my cousin and I flew back to Sao Vicente and we took the boat on the next morning to Santo Antao. It's a one hour sea crossing from Sao Vicente. You can actually see the Island on the other side when the sky is clear.
I've been travelling to Cape Verde for a while now but this time I noticed an important number of tourists. The boat was packed with Europeans, barely one Capeverdean…
They come to Santo Antao to do trekkings in the mountains. I was chocked to see white women walk around alone under the hot burning sun. I mean I would never do it alone!
Santo Antao is our cradle, there's not much going on there but we always go back to chill and have some less hectic time than in Mindelo.
My uncle was so kind to give me his car for a few days so we drove to Ponta de Sol to buy fresh fish. Then we went to Paùl, a beautiful place in the mountains so green with plants and food. Just the loveliest place!! The way there was a bit perilous as they are working on the roads to bring the water from there to the city. The girls named me driver of the year. Apparently I drive better than most guys there :p
So I spent the loveliest 2 weeks in my Motherland with my bestie, her daughter, her cousin and my cousin. I want to thank them for the amazing company. And cheers to the new friends I made, and to the old ones I got to spend time with.
I didn't want to leave and I'll be back sooner than later this year.
Thanks for reading.
Love and Light

Calling of the heart
When our head rules our heart we often live our lives way under our potential. We feel exhausted and rushed through our daily activities.
Far from leading our lives in terms of being in control we jump from one demand to the other. We believe we know a lot about ourselves. Often we are convinced that we are not allowed to do certain things or we are unable to do or achieve them.
By following our heart we all know what we really want and who we really are. Maybe it will take some time to hear the song of your heart again and to listen to it.
It is always worth the effort because this life is at stake.
I invite you on a journey to awaken your personal abilities: Discover your strength, connect to your core and guide your life from here. Be the leader in your life, take control of all the aspects of your life and start thriving.

(Photo from: Soroptimist International)
One of the unfortunate aspects of scholarship regarding security policy is that we tend not to be the most diverse group. As such, important perspectives are sometimes missed. Luckily for Sp403 we get to work with some outstanding scholars like Jennifer Inglett. She is currently working on (among other things) the participation of women in conflict and shared some thoughts:
Women provide a necessary component to the longevity and efficiency of an insurgency, revolution, or terror campaign. Once recruited, they bring with them a vast network of contacts, supporters, and possible recruits through family ties. As we have seen in Sri Lanka, Chechnya, and Ireland active violence by terrorist organizations is not restricted to the arena of men. This trend in female extremism seems to have taken root in even the most fundamentalist organizations whose religious and cultural foundations traditionally restricted female participation to the benign support function of caretaker. While the use of females as suicide bombers puts the US security forces at a tactical disadvantage- mainly due to the need of the armed forces to maintain legitimacy in eyes of societies that from day one viewed their presence with deep rooted suspicion- do these "Jihad Janes" have any other impact on either the organization's operations or effectiveness? How do the societies in which these organizations are embedded react to the recruitment of women?
While the use of females as a tactical tool, particularly by the underdog, is not new, the twisted feminist inside reacts to Al Qaeda's call for women in a smug fashion; however, the historian quickly reasserts the reality of the tactical use of the female fighter. Their participation, while lauded as an unfortunate necessity at the time and many male fighters will view these women with respect during conflict, the conclusion of the conflict is quickly followed by the retrenchment of patriarchal traditional practices that can sometimes be more fervent and salient than prior to conflict. I would argue that the use of females in combatant roles prolongs the life of terror organizations and the duration of conflict that they are associated with. If this holds true, then counterterrorism agencies and state policies should shift their focus to proactive agendas that decrease the incentive for female participation.

One year already since London 2012. Looking back at these photos makes me feel as I did back then: as though the moments were surreal. I was lucky enough to work with a great team of people and lucky enough to witness the events in the stadium and meet some incredible people. Historical moments. I saw Sarah Attar run- the first Saudi woman to compete on the Olympic track. As well as Oscar Pistorius – the first amputee to compete in the Olympics.
The stadium was a place of indescribable atmosphere – a buzz. A place of anticipation and excitement. The Olympic song, Muse – Survive, always managed to heighten this. When that song started to play, you knew something amazing was about to happen.
The most memorable night was the night Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford all took gold for Great Britain. The atmosphere that night was unmatched. The tensest, most silent moment by far, was the seconds leading up to the 100m race where there was speculation as to whether or not Usain would get gold. Of course, he got it.
I could spend some time speaking of the work I did in the stadium, the great people – broadcasting teams, commentators and athletes, I got to meet and see. But I wish to use this time to tell you what I miss most. I miss the positivity. I miss that last year on the tubes, people would talk to one another for no reason what so ever. And be so excited about their day… everyday. Anyone who travels around London on the tube regularly knows that this type of interaction is rare.
Not so long ago I was travelling back to my hometown. Whilst I was on the tube, the girl I was sitting next to noticed my OBS (Olympic Broadcast Service) backpack and started talking to me. It was in that conversation I realised I wasn't the only one who missed this aspect of London 2012. Part of me hopes that this friendly, polite, kind atmosphere isn't just a consequence of London 2012 but something that can continue in years to come.
Here are some pictures of my London 2012 memories.

A Name for My New Kitty????
Hello everyone,
Meet my new cat!
He showed up this morning out of the blue, it was cold, and he was shivering, and we were feeling sorry for him and so on...(you know how it works:)
Well, he's living up at the barn right now, but we can't figure out a name for him! He's got big gold eyes, and is about six months old. He's totally black (as you can see), and is very playful.
We were considering 'Riley' or 'Smudge', those are alright, but not our favorite. Any suggestions?
Winners of the 2008 Photo Taking Contest:
We are working on the prizes...don't think that we've forgotten you! :)
We'll try and have them out by Christmas.
The Story Writing Contest is off to a good start; Keep it up!
In Christ,

Painting: Oil Take Two
I took to using my hands again, which leaves me in a terrible mess but is just so much easier for me. Wishing I had time to let the oils dry and build layer upon layer.. they get so smushed up together.
This work seems to be to be very unlike anything I have done before, and I think I am unnerved by that.
Now we have commenced planning another figurative oil, that will be finished in about two to three weeks time.
It has been quite a lengthy process of cutting and figuring out the black/white ratio.. I am aiming to have that finished and printed by Monday night.

Life begins at forty
< CEO Speak >
Audemars Piguet CEO Philippe Merk tells Mitrajit Bhattacharya that besides the collections of Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore, which will complete 40 years soon, the brand is banking on Jules Audemars
You have just taken over the reins of Audemars Piguet. What are your priorities?
For me the biggest priority is managing this company through what people believe is going to be a challenging time and to understand what is really happening. My reading for the moment is that things are not so clear in this industry. It is known that in the watch industry things are a bit slower. Overall the year was still reasonable. We certainly knew that after a boom in the last four years, there was a tendency to slow down.
So, is it a correction according to you?
It can be called a correction. I think demand in the future will also depend on how many interesting solutions and products we can deliver. We cannot change the macro climate but we can certainly do something as a company with innovations and new products like we are doing this year to stimulate demand and hopefully also steer our production in such a way that we produce the pieces that we can really sell.
The feedback from CEOs that we have been getting is that there is no need to change strategies because these are long-term ones. Do you believe in this too?
Yes. Otherwise you can't call it a strategy. It would be opportunistic behavior. If you reduce certain activities or adjust volumes to a new equilibrium, then that is a change of strategy. That's not for me. I do not think we are going to stop fundamental activities in this company like the manufacture movements.
But would you see any difference in the product mix, market mix or the geographical market mix because some markets are more affected?
That is possible but extremely difficult to say at the moment. Everybody is talking about the United States. It may be a little bit more affected but the differences are not huge.
What about Japan?
Japan has been a difficult market since a long time. It is a slow market in terms of progress.
How important is Asia? And how important is India going to be for Audemars Piguet?
Asia, obviously, is a big priority for us, as it is for any other brand which wants to be among the global players in this industry. I think it is a promising region. It has established markets like Japan and Singapore. And then there are countries like China and India which are extremely interesting. India is a territory that we hopefully will conquer very soon. The plan was to do that last year but it was somehow delayed because of the terrible events that occurred in your country, especially the terror attacks. I think it will now depend on the market development in general. It's clear that a brand like ours needs to be in a country like India for a long haul.
What are the key changes you see in the luxury industry? Do you see strong brands becoming even stronger or the weak getting weaker?
I think a phase like this can exactly lead to a phenomenon like you are describing. The consumer goods industry has a tendency for concentration and the scale has certain importance. If you are among the small ones then you really have to go for a niche strategy. If you are amongst the bigger players then you can certainly deploy the means in marketing, distribution, manufacturing and innovation to stay in the game to be successful.
Would it also be a good time for any kind of acquisition?
Of course. This is the time when opportunities arise.
At a strategic level, how critical is Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet and how do you see that changing in the next five years?
I think it is very critical. The collection of Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore will soon be completing 40 years. That is something unique. I also sense certain potential in the other collection: Jules Audemars.
Where do we see the haute jewellery segment in the women's range going in next five years?
This is a challenging topic for us. I think we have beautiful stuff. We have extremely elaborate know-how, but we will see whether we can do better here. I feel this segment will not be so easy to conquer and gain market share in.
We saw some very good launches this year from your side. Would you like to pick your launch of the year?
The overriding theme is complicated watches. And for me the launch of the year was this piece which we call internally 'chron-AP'. It's a piece that is firmly rooted in the tradition of what watch making is all about, with hightech solutions, and that's absolutely fascinating for me.
Could you take us through your manufacture facilities? You have added a new section. Is it going to take care of the supply side?
It maybe a little too adventurous to exactly put it that way, but what we have done is to build an entirely new facility because of the explosive growth of the company. We are transferring these individual cells which have been a bit scattered all over the place into a single operation, with very logical workflows. If you have optimal working conditions then the watchmakers can really do an excellent job. We also have state-of-theart equipment.
By what percentage will the new facility increase your capacities?
We can assume a growth of 40-50 per cent.
Does that make Audemars Piguet the second largest after Jaeger LeCoultre in the Valle de Joux in terms of workforce?

Chuka - Introduction
|I am indebted to H.S. Kabeca Mwaniki's encyclopaedic "Embu Historical Texts" (1974: East African Literature Bureau, PO Box 30022 Nairobi, Kenya) for much of the information presented here about the Chuka.
|In this page:
Facts & Figures
Numerically small compared to their historically hostile neighbours, the Bantu-speaking Chuka of the east slopes of Mount Kenya have rarely had the luxury of deciding their own future. Before the colonial period, they were constantly being harassed and chased by more powerful tribes such as the Meru and Embu, and during the colonial occupation were unable to resist the almost total destruction of their society and culture by the British.
As a result, the Chuka are today almost wholly 'westernized' as well as poor. The vast majority (perhaps all the population) are now Christian, and there is little trace remaining of any of the older ways.
The Chuka are agriculturalists, and use the favourable soil and climate of the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya to full advantage with their painstakingly terraced crop plantations. The market centre of Chuka Town is their main focus, which sprawls out either side of the Embu-Meru road. Famine is nonetheless a recurrent feature of life, albeit less frequently experienced than by the neighbouring Embu and Chuka.
In Kenya, the Chuka were known primarily for their skill at drumming, and the acrobatic prowess by which they are played; the long thin drums are 'ridden' hobby-horse style whilst the drummers dance, but this tradition almost completely disappeared several decades ago. The only exception is a group of "Chuka Drummers" who play at the touristic Mount Kenya Safari Club over on the northwest of the mountain, which is actually in Kikuyu terrain.
Also known as: Muchuka (singular), Suka, Chuku.
Ethnic group: Bantu: Niger-Congo, Atlantic-Congo, Volta-Congo, Benue-Congo, Bantoid, Southern, Narrow Bantu, Central, Kikuyu-Kamba, Meru.
Western anthropologists bizarrely consider the Chuka to be a subgroup of the Meru, although they have much more in common with the Embu, and oral tradition states that the Chuka and Embu were one tribe in the past.
Neighbouring tribes: Embu, Meru (including Tharaka, Mwimbi and Imenti).
Language: Kichuka (Chuka). 73% lexical similarity with Embu, 70% with Kikuyu, 67% with Meru, 63% with Kamba. Comprehension of northern Meru dialects is borderline. Close to Tharaka. Speakers in different regions are bilingual in Meru, Gikuyu, Kamba, or Swahili.
Population: No recent figures available. Was 70,000 in 1980, but may have increased greatly since.
Location: Chuka Town and surrounding area on the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya, Southern Meru District, Eastern Province. The Embu are to the south on the opposite bank of the Thuchi River. The northern boundary with various Meru subgroups is ill-defined.
Way of life: Agriculturalists and traders. Cash crops such as coffee, tea and pyrethrum are the primary sources of income. Food crops are presumably insufficient to cover normal dietary needs.
Religion: Christian.
References: This information has been gathered from a number of sources. The best general sources about Kenyan culture are Andrew Fedders & Cynthia Salvadori's excellent "Peoples and Cultures of Kenya" (1979: Transafrica, Nairobi), and the equally good series of booklets produced by the Consolata Fathers in Nairobi, sadly now out of print. Specific sources that have been of help in writing this site are credited where appropriate.

In other Ahn'kahet guild run last night, I managed to hit 3000 AP with Expose Weakness when both group and self buffed. I am not entirely sure whether or not that is still lagging behind most people, but it felt good for me. ;-)
This is the spec which I am currently planning to initially test with instancing/raiding at 80. An offline friend wants me to go straight Marksmanship, although for me that would probably translate to something like this. With lesser gear at least, I'm aware the latter spec would probably do a lot more for me, but really being able to see what a combo TSA/EW spec could also do is something I've been wanting to do for a while. I'm also aware that deep Marks is probably going to give me better mana efficiency than a hybrid, even with 3/3 ToTH, so we will have to see.
Also, Rilgon; as far as the Cobalt Slicer argument is concerned, while I may not be aware of the particulars of the argument, my own experience would lead me to suspect that from his own perspective at least, BRK is right.
The modification to the Agility/AP ratio in TBC (1 Ag = 1 AP, rather than the old rule of 1 Ag = 2 AP, as well as the fact that in itemisation terms, it often ended up being closer to 1 Ag = 2-2.5 AP) introduced a tradeoff effect between Agility and pure AP. With the PvP gear in particular, this was even more the case; the S3 Axe has no base Agility at all. Hence, if you tried to itemise primarily for Agility, you would end up with extremely low AP, comparitively speaking.
It may also not be true in WoTLK, but in TBC anyway, Blizzard overwhelmingly itemised for Beast Mastery (pure AP) rather than the other two trees, (just as they tended to balance us around BM in PvP as well) especially in terms of the PvP gear, as mentioned. It remains to be seen whether or not Blizzard's focus on Hunters will continue to be primarily BM-centric in WoTLK, but the amount of base Agility which I'm already starting to see on new gear gives me cause for optimism.
As I've said before, the TBC Beast Mastery monoculture has not been in anyone's best interests, and it is my earnest hope that as we move into WoTLK, it will start to gradually dissipate. It certainly doesn't serve users of the other two trees, and it doesn't even really benefit the minority of genuine, skilled natives of Beast Mastery either, such as Pike or BRK, because the tree's social reputation is tarnished when it is used by flavour of the month types, or as a crutch by novice players.
To illustrate the above mentioned tradeoff, though, I had 800 base Ag pre-Kara, but was struggling to maintain 1500 base AP, and the tradeoff was never really resolved before T6 gear, which, admittedly, I myself never got. (Although I was still able to observe that by looking at various numbers) Nearly everyone I saw with 2k+ AP during TBC (pre-T6, anywayz) had south of 700 base Ag, including Surv.
To some extent this tradeoff has been alleviated for Survival in WoTLK with the addition of Hunter VS Wild, but because Beast Mastery has nothing like this, the tradeoff is still going to apply until they start to get gear where the numbers of Agility and AP become close to equal, which, if the historical pattern holds true, will not happen until the very end of this expansion.
Thus, although they are still going to need a minimum of 7-800 base Ag (primarily for crit actually, more than anything else; but also to give them a decent base for scaling with raid buffs) I am estimating that before T8-T9 gear at least, once they get past that minimum Agility requirement, pure AP will be much more important for Beast Mastery.

Have you noticed the sudden change in celebrity clothing? Have you noticed how suddenly the goody two-shoes, pretty clothing is being gradually pushed aside for something so much edgier? Do you see the dawn of some kind of rock/punk/gothic style in recent times?
Well, I do. See it, I mean.
When did the simple, delicate, single bracelet with the white lace dress get replaced by chunky bracelets and rings? Uh, exactly when the white lace dress started being worn with a black leather jacket. And studs replaced shiny stones.
The word edgy is being used so often now. Don't you think so?
All the way from Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow to Kristen Stewart and Fergie -they all love doing it the edgy way. Most of whom were known for their elegant style (I said, MOST)!
|Gwyneth Paltrow and JLo going super edgy
Okay, so the fashion police is still against concentrate gothic style. But the tamed form of it is just termed as fierce. Personally, I have nothing against it. Instead, I kinda like it! When people do it right, that is.
Some people (like, say, your sister, for example) don't understand why you don't want to wear your pretty, little black dress with delicate stilettos, instead of the caged red pumps you chose to wear with it, instead. She says, "I don't understand you or your style (can I call it that?) anymore." "Well, you wouldn't." you shoot back.
So, yes. A lot of people are not loving it very much. Some love it concentrated. I like it mild. Its all about personal choice.
If you love it, you're getting lucky. If you hate it.........well...? Ignore it?

During my tutorial with Clair she told me that she preferred the previous pattern that i had made, and i agree due to the more detail in the clothing. She then explained how to create a pattern on illustrator by adding a swatch which made it easer for me to create an idea of what my poster could start to look like.
I took colour inspiration from the kings of convenience as I thought the colours worked well together as they are quite contrasting in tone.

Paul Pierce racked up a double-double as he knocked down a game high 36 points while the Boston Celtics displayed some of their strongest defense this year in the fourth quarter, as they took game two of their opening Playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks at Phillips Arena Tuesday night by a final score of 87-80. The victory for the Celtics takes away the home-court advantage the Hawks had captured during the regular season; with the series heading to Boston for the next two games.
Boston won the contest despite playing without starters Ray Allen, who has yet to play in the Post Season due to an ankle sprain and Rajon Rondo who served a one game suspension for bumping referee Marc Davis in the first game of the match-up. The Celtics went with a big starting lineup with Avery Bradley the only guard on the floor; as Mickael Pietrus joined Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass on the court to start the game.
All-Star guard Joe Johnson led the way for Atlanta as he scored 22 points in the loss. The Hawks dominated the inside game scoring 42 points in the paint to only 26 points for the visitors. However Atlanta shot an anemic 34.9% (29-83) from the floor which was not enough to win their second game on their home floor.
Although the home team led for most of the first three-quarters of action; the two clubs remained close through most of the game. Atlanta briefly extended their advantage to ten points in the third; however the Celtics were back in the contest by the end of the quarter trailing 66-61. Boston would clamp down defensively on their opponents in the final 12 minutes of play, allowing the Hawks only 14 points in the period and the Celtics would steal the game they needed before heading back home.
Pierce knocked down 36 points, grabbed 14 boards and had 4 assists in the Celtics victory. Garnett also recorded a double-double with 15 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and a block while Bradley scored 14 points, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 3 steals and 2 rebounds.
Johnson knocked down 22 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. Jeff Teague had 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block while Josh Smith notched a double-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. The series resumes in Boston on Friday.

*Prosecutors have agreed to drop charges against the Rev. Al Sharpton's ex-wife and daughter for cursing out police officers on the condition they stay out of trouble.
Under the deal, the case against Dominique Sharpton, 23, and her mother, Kathy Jordan, 53, will be dismissed and sealed in six months, reports the New York Daily News.
"I have no objection," the Sharptons' lawyer, Michael Hardy, told a Manhattan Criminal Court judge Tuesday as the women agreed to the offer.
The Sharptons were busted Oct. 31 following a Harlem traffic stop in which they were accused of barking profanities at cops after Dominique Sharpton drove through a red light.
Dominique was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, while her mother was charged with obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and harassment. The women theoretically could have faced a year in prison on a host of charges.
Hardy, on Tuesday, objected to an assertion by prosecutors that the cops had probable cause to arrest the women.

Shabby Chic in the Home
In the past few years, there's been a change in the idea of what constitutes great interior design, with a return to exposed brick and stonework. Examples of this being the increasing popularity of buying and refurbishing old warehouses and farm outbuildings, leaving many of the features such as exposed girders, pipes and bracing intact, to give a rustic or industrial feel. Modern interior design is increasingly focussed on a more shabby yet stylish vision to give the impression of effortless chic, as opposed to a gaudy trying-too-hard approach.
Shabby chic originated in Great Britain, emulating the style of grand country houses, and is becoming very popular amongst furniture designers, with a move towards a 'distressed' or used look. This gives the impression that the owner has great taste, without being materialistic, the furniture looking as if it has been selected for it's utility value as well as style. Furniture design is making a move towards a bygone era of sophistication and quiet affluence, old money rather than new.
The style can be achieved by buying new furniture designed towards this look with the finish being deliberately aged, for instance tables or chairs made from roughly finished wood, with coatings such as Danish oil allowing the grain through. however, many people achieve the affect by scouring second-hand stores for classic pieces of antique-style furniture and refurbishing it themselves to get the required finish, giving a personal touch.
The effect can also include the soft furnishings around the house, such as curtains and sheets. Antique lace gives a classic times-gone-by feel, as does ticking on blankets and seat coverings. The use of faded linen also gives an evocative aura of age.
Utility objects such iron baths, bedsteads, and cast-iron radiators can give a grand 'Etonian' feel, functional, stark, yet timeless, along with classic iron stoves and ranges.
The essence of this style is to marry the classic elegance of the old with the new, so that modern interior design benefits from innovation, whilst keeping with tradition.
