The Chuo Shinkansen is a Japanese maglev line under construction between Tokyo and Osaka. On a central section of the line, construction has come to a standstill in 2020 for reasons of regional policy. This threatens the completion of the entire line. The article describes some of the interests triggering the underlying conflict. Some of the key points contained in the Japanese solution proposals are summarized. Overall, the opening of the high-speed maglev system is likely to be postponed by several years.

The Chuo Shinkansen is a Japanese maglev line under construction between Tokyo and Osaka. Its initial section is between Shinagawa Station in Tokyo and Nagoya, with stations in Sagamihara, Kōfu, Iida, and Nakatsugawa. The line is expected to connect Tokyo and Nagoya in 40 minutes, running at a maximum speed of 505 km/h (314 mph) [1]. About 90 % of the 286 km (178 mile) line to Nagoya will be tunnels, with a minimum curve radius of 8,000 m (26,000 ft) and a maximum grade of 4 %. The project leader and future operator is the Central Japan Railway Company (in short: JR Central) [2].
Coils on the track and superconducting magnets on the vehicles generate the force that is needed for levitation. Reaching speeds of about 120 km/h, the vehicle rolls on wheels, generating particulate matter [3]. The wheels are then retracted, much like in the case of an airplane, when the vehicle reaches levitation. The absence of wheel friction at higher speeds allows normal operation at over 500 km/h, and higher acceleration and deceleration performance compared to conventional high-speed rail. Magnetic coils are used both for propulsion and levitation [4].
JR Central began operating new L0 series maglev vehicles at the Yamanashi test track on August 17, 2020. According to JR Central, the new version of the superconducting L0 Series high-speed maglev system vehicles features improved aerodynamics, which should enable a 13 % reduction in drag as well as reduced noise emissions and power consumption compared to the previous design [5]. No information has been provided as to whether the new vehicles have now been successful in better shielding the passenger cabins against electromagnetic fields during operation [6].
The discussion about the exact route that the high-speed maglev system should take between Tokyo and Osaka, one that was restricted to expert circles and political circles, dates back to the end of the 20th century. In 2011, a decision was finally reached and one of the three variants (A, B, C variant) chosen. JR Central, as the project leader, is said to have exclusively endorsed the C variant from the beginning, which today forms the basis for the realization (Fig. 1). Japanese project participants critically note that environmental aspects played only a minor role in the decision, partly because of a considerable lack of information, which made it difficult to compare the variants. In some cases, only variant C was considered. F. Nakamura [7], who was involved in the evaluations as environmental verifier, summed up in 2020: "The consultations were in line with JR's intentions" (in the original: 審議はJRの思惑通りに進んだ). From F. Nakamura's point of view, variant C might still have been modified or a different variant might have been chosen if researchers with knowledge of the regional conditions had been involved in the consultations [7].
Fig. 1. Route of the Shinkansen and maglev lines
The version chosen, the C variant supported by JR Central, involves bypassing the Fuji Volcano to the north and briefly crossing Shizuoka Prefecture without stopping. The plans (status 2020) thus do not include a railroad station in Shizuoka Prefecture. Therefore, the prefecture is mainly burdened by the construction of the line, but has no discernible advantages from any realization of the maglev project. JR Central's plans originally foresaw a lower number of stations than at present (2020). However, all the regions along the route opposed these initial plans and demanded at least one high-speed maglev system stop per prefecture. The plans were then adjusted in order to obtain prefectural approval for construction to commence. However, Shizuoka Prefecture remained the only prefecture along the maglev line where no station was envisaged.
Although Shizuoka Prefecture Governor Heita Kawakatsu is, in principle, considered a proponent of maglev technology [8], in the course of the discussion, the reservations against a route without a station in the prefecture have grown more pronounced. With regional elections scheduled for 2021 and the issue playing a relevant role in the election campaign, the situation appears additionally complex.
For decades, Shizuoka Prefecture has endeavored to strengthen its tourism in order to take greater advantage of its favorable location near the Fuji Volcano Nature Reserve. To this end, Shizuoka Prefecture is demanding that the fast Nozomi Shinkansen trains from JR Central also stop in the prefecture. JR Central has not yet agreed to this. They are also calling for the prefecture's regional airport, Fuji Shizuoka, to receive a Shinkansen station in order to promote regional development. The railroad company JR Central has also rejected this demand, despite the airport being located directly on the conventional Shinkansen railroad line. This rejection serves to reinforce the impression in the prefecture that JR Central is not much concerned about the regional interests of the prefecture. As a result, JR Central is now regarded in the prefecture as a company that is primarily focused on its own economic interests and has little interest in cooperating with the regional government. This attitude has clearly resulted in disappointment and annoyance in the prefecture.
Thus, from the perspective of Shizuoka Prefecture, there are primarily three reasons for opposing the maglev project in the region: first, JR Central's rejection of a maglev station in the prefecture; second, poor integration into the conventional Shinkansen network (by JR Central); third, JR Central's rejection of a Shinkansen station at the prefectural airport.
In addition, as E. Volkova points out (2020), skepticism concerning high-speed transport projects seems to be growing in general: their feasibility and economic efficiency are being questioned due to the considerable capital expenditure required for construction and the lengthy payback period. Whether this criticism is justified or not: doubts about the feasibility of developing high-speed transport especially intensify during global economic crises [9]. The debate surrounding which transportation projects are suitable for the future has long been a matter of concern for Japanese scientists as well.
Due to JR Central's many years of pursuing a restrictive information policy, only general, i.e. sparse statements have been made public that could provide more precise answers to the arguments put forward by the prefecture. It is therefore necessary to understand, at least from the point of view of an ideal-typical railroad company, which interests could be of particular relevance to JR Central in the present situation.
The construction of a new high-speed maglev station in Shizuoka Prefecture would be very costly for JR Central. Not only the station, but also the surrounding infrastructure would have to be newly built and financed. The station would be a time-consuming, new planning process, which would threaten to further delay the project as a whole. Given the peripheral location in the prefecture, the users of the station are, in the main, likely to be tourists and the annual average passenger volume is likely to be rather low. It seems doubtful that such a station would be able to cover its operating costs from revenue generated through tourist traffic. From an operational point of view, an additional station would lead to a drop in performance on the entire maglev line. The more stations there are to be served, the more the average speed and train sequence will decrease. Even if the stations are served alternately, a single additional station can have a significant impact on the efficiency of the entire line. For economic reasons, JR Central will therefore probably try to prevent another station from being built.
Incorporating the city of Shizuoka into the Nozomi Shinkansen network and constructing a new Shinkansen station under Shizuoka Airport would probably have similar economic effects, albeit with a weaker impact on the economy. The more frequent stops at the newly-added stations would significantly extend travel times for all Nozomi Shinkansen, making their use less attractive overall. This is likely to affect customers' willingness to pay and thus impact JR Central's balance sheet, which the company would certainly wish to avoid.
JR Central's interest is likely to provide the fastest possible, unhindered transportation between the cities of Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, avoiding any intermediate stops. The target group at which the high-speed maglev system is aimed primarily involves time-sensitive business travelers and day commuters, but not time-tolerant, price-sensitive tourists. From JR Central's point of view, tourism-oriented stations are likely to be disruptive factors that should be avoided from a business perspective.
JR Central modernized its communication platform in 2020 and is seeking to strengthen its standing in the discussion by providing better information marketing. The website (Japanese version) has been updated and reinforced with animations. Statements and presentations on ecology and the environment (through JR Central's looking glass) have been added and made available as downloads [2]. This can be interpreted as a turnaround in the company's communication strategy.
The river Oi has its source in the Southern Alps ("Minami"), an area recognized by UNESCO as a geopark. The Oi carries large amounts of water and flows through the central and western part of Shizuoka Prefecture (Fig. 2). The water is used intensively for power generation, agriculture and industry. The river Oi became the center of attention when reports became public about possible changes in the region's water balance occurring due to the construction of the tunnel for the high-speed maglev system. In 2001, JR Central announced the results of a water balance analysis in which potential changes in groundwater and surface water were scientifically simulated [10]. The values quoted showed that the inflow of water into the river Oi could decrease by up to two tons of water per second. JR Central proposed a number of protective measures: using pumping stations, by laying watertight foils, and by injecting chemicals into the rock bed, the plan envisaged a return of the spring and groundwater displaced due to the construction work to the Oi River so that the volume of water there would not decrease [10]. However, the prefectural government questioned the results of the water balance analysis and described the measures taken by JR Central as insufficient.
In 2017, Governor Heita Kawakatsu spoke out clearly and unequivocally against continuing the maglev project on the basis of the current plans and called for changes. In 2020, he blocked further preparations for the construction of the tunnel. This brought construction on this section of the line to a standstill. According to Japanese media reports, the reason for the halt in construction was the lack of information from JR Central concerning the consequences the project would have for the region's water balance. JR Central could not or did not want to promise to return all the groundwater and surface water displaced by the tunnel construction to the Oi River [10]. The communication strategies of Governor H. Kawakatsu and the citizens' initiatives in the prefecture therefore typically portray JR Central as a company that imposes the negative impact of a water issue on the local population without bringing any benefit to the region.
The prefecture's right of appeal against the high-speed maglev system tunnel is basically derived from the fact that the route of the maglev system runs for a few kilometers across the prefecture's territory. The disputed section of the planned tunnel is only about 9 km long.
Fig. 2. Course of the Oi River in the Japanese Alps
The northern territory of the prefecture appears like a small wedge that has been pushed into the maglev line. In fact, however, the territory and the river have been overplanned by the Maglev Project
The speed-related large curve radii of the high-speed maglev system as well as the already largely completed tunnel sections in the vicinity considerably limit the flexibility of the planning and make such an alternative solution appear too expensive. It appears unlikely that the issue with the river Oi can be resolved through any realignment of the maglev line any more.
Without taking into account the rights of a further 400 companies in the Oi area, the known permissible water use is about 176 m3/s (Table). In hydropower and agricultural uses, significant amounts of water may flow back into the river elsewhere and be available for use again. Against this quantitative background, the possible reduction of the inflow by 2 m3/s through the tunnel can be considered relatively small.

Table based on K. Hirota, T. Ohashi, 2020 [10]
However, the absolute value is likely to be decisive here: according to Oigawa Regional Waterworks Corporation, which is responsible for supplying water to the cities within the catchment area of the river Oi, 2 m3/s correspond to the amount of water that has to be made available per second for about 600,000 people in the cities across the region [8]. These two tons of water per second could thus cover the water needs of 600,000 people.
The conflict between JR Central and the prefecture was further aggravated by the halt in construction in 2020. The Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is now trying to act as a mediator, and expert meetings have been held to assess whether any lasting effects on the groundwater flow to the Oi River are to be anticipated. To date (Sept. 2020), however, it has not been possible to bridge the gap between the two parties and their respective positions even with the ministry's mediation efforts [7].
Without question, the issue of whether the volume of water in the catchment area of the Oi River, where more than 600,000 people live, can be maintained is of fundamental importance. For many people in the prefecture, however, the water issue was clearly also the tipping point that ultimately escalated the level of resentment that people across the region had held against JR Central for years.
From a prefectural perspective, the situation is a rather useful conflict, which, if escalated in a targeted manner, could reap benefits for the region and some decision-makers. From a JR Central perspective, however, the situation is a threatening conflict that could lead to considerable concessions and financial burdens.
The governor's tough position on JR Central seems to be aimed at obtaining the greatest possible concession from JR Central for prefectural approval of the maglev tunnel construction. Whilst the importance of the existing Tokaido Shinkansen line will be significantly reduced with the opening of the new high-speed maglev system, it will still be very important for the prefecture, for reasons of regional development, to obtain superior Nozomi Shinkansen (wheel-rail) stations, which JR Central has so far refused to provide (2020). There is also a slight possibility of a new, dedicated station being implemented on the maglev line despite the considerable infrastructure development costs this would involve for all parties concerned. At a meeting on June 26, 2020, Governor H. Kawakatsu proposed to the president of JR Central the establishment of a tourist route in Shizuoka Prefecture along the Fuji volcano: tourists would arrive within 20 minutes by high-speed maglev from Tokyo and return some hours later from Shizuoka station by wheel-rail Nozomi Shinkansen [8].
On the whole, there is much to suggest that the political price for continuing the high-speed maglev project could promise massive transport infrastructure-related improvements for Shizuoka prefecture. A consensus on such a basis would serve the region's economic and tourism interests in the prefecture, but, from a business perspective, it would appear to be highly disadvantageous for JR Central. New railroad station construction in particular could become a serious burden. In transportation science, the construction and operation of foreseeable uneconomic stations are referred to as political stations.
The pressure exerted by the Japanese central government on the prefecture is also likely to increase: the Japanese high-speed maglev system is also a high-tech industrial policy project that is primarily intended to promote exports. The first such export project is the maglev line between Baltimore and Washington in the United States, which is already in an advanced planning stage (2020). Significant delays or even the cancellation of the Japanese project would have a foreseeable negative impact on the realization of the US project as well.
Overall, it seems rather unlikely that the magnetic levitation train project will be permanently prevented by the prefecture's resistance. Although the halt in construction in 2020 directly affects only the small section in Shizuoka Prefecture and construction continues elsewhere on the line, it seems unavoidable that the start of operations of the Chuo Shinkansen Line will be put back by several years. The restrictions and delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic are also contributing to further delays. An opening before 2030 is becoming increasingly unlikely.
In Asia, high-speed maglev systems are regarded as important future technologies for mobility in the 21st century. In the People's Republic of China and South Korea, maglev technologies are among the strategic innovations that receive state support in the form of considerable financial resources and research programs. N. Zhuravleva points out the potential relevance of maglev technologies in transportation: due to their speed, maglev systems initiate a fundamental change in the perception and evaluation of time and create a new quality of transport service, which the existing wheel-rail technologies for freight and passenger transport cannot provide [11]. J. Kluehspies also emphasizes this aspect [12].
The significant progress currently being made in the development of maglev technologies (2020) contrasts sharply in Japan with the restrictive information policy pursued by the technology protagonists at JR Central. For a long time, participation was not an issue in Japan, when the first application case (Tokyo – Nagoya) was developed. The fact that a harsh and bitter conflict has ensued in connection with the maglev line realization process is probably a result of the general lack of relevant participation opportunities for citizens and science in Japan.
A restrictive information policy can be used to keep potential (international) competitors in the dark about the status of Japanese developments and widen the country's technological leadership edge over its European and Chinese competitors for. In the case of the Japanese high-speed maglev system, the communication strategy pursued by JR Central, as the project lead, was particularly limited and superficial. This led to a de facto information blockade on many important aspects of the entire construction project. For a long time, communication with affected parties took place only to a very limited extent.
In democracies, such top-down planning implementation rarely has a chance of gaining broader acceptance, especially when it so strongly impacts the living conditions of so many citizens of a country. It is therefore not surprising that both the prefectural government and citizens' initiatives have called for opposition to the maglev project – although even opponents often would, in principle, welcome a sensible use of the Japanese maglev technology. In Japan, the river Oi has become a symbol of societal unease over intransparent planning processes. The delays in the construction of the high-speed maglev system are thus not due to, but rather despite its high technological quality.
From a prefectural perspective, the water issue surrounding the river Oi is a useful conflict that can be used to the benefit of the region. From the perspective of JR Central, however, the conflict threatens to lead to considerable financial burdens. JR Central now seems to have recognized that this is a realistic danger and therefore began, in 2020, to improve its communication strategy for the general public, [2], a move clearly intended to better deal with the accusations presented in the media.

Most of Kendall Jenner's Ex-Boyfriends Have This 1 Thing in Common
The love lives of the Kardashian-Jenner clan have been in the public spotlight for over a decade now. Now that the older Kardashians have (mostly) settled into families, marriages, and children, their younger sisters are the ones whose romances are commanding tons of attention and speculation. Kendall Jenner, best known for her modeling career, has had her name connected with a few fellow stars — most of them from the basketball world. Speculation runs rampant when it comes to any member of this family, so here's what we know about the romances that have been pretty solidly confirmed so far.

Yes, it's part of the reason I bought it. :banana:SCREEM said:on the new laptop?
It strays a bit, so it will take some getting used to. They've definately reworked some stuff.SCREEM said:so what is it like? does it stray real far from winxp leaving you confused or is it refreshing like the win98 to winxp upgrade?.....sorry I've read nothing about vista:tongue:

(The President swatted a fly which brought an outcry of cruelty from PETA. The fly was named Morty Druckler by a cartoonist who mocked PETA's foolish reaction.)
Don't swat that fly.
Can't kill that mouse.
Spare the termites
In your house.
Sentient beings are they
With full right to live.
Do not you dare these betray.
Their deaths can't forgive.
Let them feel pain?
That we so abhor!
From cruelty refrain.
They live to make more.
Animals belong not to us.
Them we must not eat.
Admit and make no fuss.
Veggies are quite a treat.
Animals used for test?
Can't be right to do.
Let them play and rest.
They are beings too.
We hate all the evil scabs
Crooked, twisted little men
Who keep them in their labs
We free them from all that sin.
We break into such a place
Trash it with great delight
Brings an end to such disgrace
Oh how we love a fight.
A dog is not your pet.
An equal instead.
Feed, wash, and never threat
And lay him on your bed.
Nor is a cat your pet.
Allow her to run your life
She's such a fine asset.
Do not cause her strife
Leather seats in your car?
Shoes from animal skin?
All the righteous must bar.
Plastic or cloth avoid sin.
Never wear a fur coat
Lest you make us faint.
Just so you can gloat?
We will throw on paint.
Sell animals in a store?
Pen them in a cage?
Such we allow no more.
Puts us in a rage.
We love our furry, hairy friend.
Now you know the reasons why
Any slight to him must end.
For animals we'd gladly die.
For those who don't recognize PETA, it is an animal rights group with views that many consider extreme. Since satire is subject to being misunderstood, I'll say plainly that I am not in sympathy with PETA. I do, however, oppose cruelty to animals.

Are You Getting Enough Nutrition From the Food You Eat?
When we make the effort to eat a balanced diet, it's easy to assume we'll get all the nutrition we need from our meals.

Teams is a movement for Christian Married Couples.
Each team is made of 4-6 couples and a priest/spiritual director. We meet once a month round each others homes. During this time we have for a shared meal, some time to catch up on the ups and downs of life over the month, a time to pray together and a discussion on a chosen topic.
In between our monthly get together we endeavour to live our Christian life by committing to:
- Pray individually, as a couple and as a family
- Read the word of God
- Spend some time together as a couple
- Go on retreat as a couple at least once a year
These endeavours provide the foundation for our Christian life.

"Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea," narrates the indomitable David Attenborough. With frigate birds swooping above and the high-speed mahi-mahi slicing through the water below, all escape routes have been cut off for these flying fish.
These truly spectacular chase scenes were filmed for "Hunger at Sea", an episode of the BBC nature documentary series The Hunt.
As the mahi-mahi (also known as dorado) race after the schools of fish, frigate birds circle above, waiting for their "winged" prey to break through the surface in a bid to escape. Thanks to specialised fins, the fish are able to glide for considerable distances above the water, where the birds can scoop them up with their hooked beaks.
The frigate birds are specialist flying-fish hunters. Since they lack waterproof plumage, they can't safely land on the water's surface (and their short, weak feet aren't designed for at-sea takeoff) – and that makes the airborne fish the perfect meal (they're also not above stealing another seabird's catch).
The birds are often to be found loitering in the air when marine predators like tuna, dolphin and mahi-mahi are at work. Thanks to excellent eyesight and soaring flight, can they easily spot the telltale splashes of an underwater hunt. As the mahi-mahi power through their high-speed chase (swimming at speeds of up to 92kmph, or 58mph!), some flying fish evade capture and leap into the air to escape – where the frigate birds are just waiting to seize the moment.

Meet the new face South Carolina Gamecocks football will have to rely on in the next month
The burden South Carolina football put on offensive tackle Jaylen Nichols on Saturday night isn't exactly fair, but that's life in college football when one shows precociousness early on.
It also means the ask for the next month is a big one.
Starting right tackle Dylan Wonnum is sidelined for 3-4 weeks with an ankle injury, one he's lucky isn't broken according to Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp. That means Nichols is a starter at that spot for the foreseeable future, and he seemed to do at least OK in his first real action against Kentucky.
"Had a little pressure there at the end of the half," Muschamp said. "We were trying to get in at least field goal range, let Parker have a shot before half.
"We need to firm up a little in the protection there. I thought he held up in the second half extremely well."
That sequence was a pair of plays when Nichols was tagged with a sack and got beat on the next play.
But for a new offensive lineman against an SEC opponent, that's not too bad. A day later, after watching the film, Muschamp was robust with praise.
The Gamecocks have some experience throwing a younger player into the fire, as Wonnum himself started in Year 1 last fall. The difference is Wonnum played well enough to jump a starter, rather than get forced in by injury.
"He put some stress on me early in the week," center Donell Stanley said. "But he just had to settle down. He's a guy that, he has all the ability. He's a strong guy. We always had faith in him. It's knowing what to do.
"He made a few mistakes, but he kept playing."
Veterans said they didn't have any special words for Nichols. They encouraged a little, let him prepare his way and made sure to communicate constantly.
Offensive line is the position most rarely held by young players. It's heavy on technique and on understanding of the game. The learning curve tends to be steep and is particularly unforgiving.
Nichols was only a three-star recruit out of Charlotte powerhouse Myers Park, and not a particularly highly rated three-star. But as a big, mobile player, he quickly made a mark after enrolling early.
By one of the first open practices, Nichols was already working as a second-string tackle. Gamecocks coaches praised his natural abilities and some of his fundamental skills.
By the start of the season, he was a reserve tackle along with fellow freshman Jakai Moore and do-everything line reserve Eric Douglas. The Gamecocks have two more years with Wonnum and one more with Sadarius Hutcherson at the tackle spots.
And for the near future, Nichols will be a starter. The soft-spoken big man let his skills speak early, and even as he's in a tough spot, his coach said he's got what it takes to hold up.
"There's zero issue athletically," Muschamp said. "He fits athletically. Power, movement skills, all those things. It's very hard to play that position as a young player.
"Jaylen is going to be fine."

Blue Envoy
Blue Envoy was to be a long range surface to air missile, intended to defend the UK from massed Soviet bombers. It was to be powered by a pair of Bristol BRJ.811 ramjets, with 4 Borzoi solid rockets to boost it to the speed where the ramjets could be used, giving it a range of around 150 miles. The warhead was to be a large highe explosive device, but it could have been fitted with a nuclear warhead later.
Blue Envoy was cancelled in 1957, but much of the work done on the guidance radar and ramjets found it's way into the Bristol Bloodhound II, which remained in RAF service into the 1990's.
Many thanks to Chris Gibson for his research into this project.

The 2015 USA Paratriathlon National Championships return to Austin, Texas, on May 25 in conjunction with the Life Time Tri CapTex.
Top American paratriathletes will race for national titles in five sport classes on a 750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike, 5-kilometer run course through downtown Austin. This will be the third time Life Time Tri CapTex will host USA Paratriathlon Nationals. The championship event was originally slated to take place in Austin in 2014 but relocated due to a change in the paratriathlon classification process. Qualification information for the 2015 event will be available at usatriathlon.org at a later date.
"We are thrilled to once again join forces with Life Time Tri CapTex and the City of Austin to welcome and celebrate our nation's best paratriathletes," said Rob Urbach, USA Triathlon CEO. "With the 2016 Paralympic Games on the horizon, this is an excellent opportunity to showcase the talents of these inspiring athletes to a community that has hosted one of the leading triathlons in the U.S. for over two decades."
"At Life Time, the Healthy Way of Life Company, we are both honored and excited for the opportunity to again host the USA Paratriathlon National Championships," said Kimo Seymour, President of Events and Media at Life Time. "This is the fourth time we have hosted this inspirational event and we look forward to hosting paratriathletes as part of a field of 3,000 athletes at the CapTex Triathlon in 2015."
USA Paratriathlon Nationals is the first of three top-level paratriathlon competitions held in the U.S. in 2015. The Detroit Triathlon was named host of the 2015 Detroit ITU World Paratriathlon Event, slated for Aug. 16. The 2015 season will end in Chicago at the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final and World Championships from Sept. 15-20, with ITU Paratriathlon Worlds tentatively scheduled for Sept. 19. Top finishes at USA Paratriathlon Nationals, the Detroit ITU World Paratriathlon Event and the ITU Paratriathlon World Championships will count toward the ITU Paratriathlon Rankings.
Paratriathlon makes its Paralympic debut at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Paralympic Games in September 2016. Three of five sport classes for men and women will be contested in the sport's introduction to the Paralympic program: PT1, PT2 and PT4 for men, and PT2, PT4 and PT5 for women. The ITU Paratriathlon World Championships in Chicago is a qualifying event for National Federations, with the top finisher in each of the six selected sport classes earning their National Federation a spot for the Paralympic Games. More on ITU's Paralympic Games Qualification is available at triathlon.org.
For more information on USA Paratriathlon and its grassroots, military and elite programming, visit usaparatriathlon.org.
About USA Triathlon: USA Triathlon is proud to serve as the National Governing Body for triathlon, as well as duathlon, aquathlon, aquabike, winter triathlon, off-road triathlon and paratriathlon in the United States. Founded in 1982, USA Triathlon sanctions more than 4,300 races and connects with nearly 500,000 members each year, making it the largest multisport organization in the world. In addition to its work with athletes, coaches and race directors on the grassroots level, USA Triathlon provides leadership and support to elite athletes competing at international events, including International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Championships, Pan American Games and the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Novartis signs Middle East vaccine production
Novartis has forged an alliance with a Saudi Arabian manufacturer to help it expand its vaccines business in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region and neighbouring countries.
The Arab Company for Pharmaceutical Products (Arabio) is constructing a manufacturing facility in Makkah Almokarramah, with technical assistance from Novartis' Vaccines and Diagnostics divisions, which should start operating in early 2011.
AbbVie partners with Arabio for production in Saudi Arabia
AbbVie will partner with Arabio to manufacture Humira and other drugs in Saudi Arabia. -- Courtesy of AbbVie.
As growth has slowed in some emerging markets, Western drugmakers are looking to second- and third-tier emerging markets to gain momentum. The Middle East has become the new hot spot for pharma, and AbbVie ($ABBV) has found its way there.

Create an optional child element of <feed> to explicitly indicate the deletion of an entry.
Some systems cache and continue to display entries after they disappear from the "sliding window" into a feed. There is no way to tell the difference between an entry disappearing from the sliding window and an entry being deleted. In some circumstances, such as when deleting blog spam, it is highly desirable to have the entries deleted from external caches. This proposal specifies a light-weight method of explicitly indicating deletion of entries.
Add the following as a child element of <feed> (not in <head>):
x.y "atom:deletion" Element The "atom:deletion" element indicates that an entry which previously appeared in the feed has been deleted. The content of atom:deletion is the atom:id of the deleted entry. atom:feed elements MAY contain zero or more atom:deletion elements. Publishing application MAY decline to publish atom:deletion elements. Consuming applications which cache entries MAY delete the indicated entries from their caches. If they do not, they SHOULD indicate to their consumers that the entry has been deleted by the publisher. Consuming applications MUST ignore atom:deletion elements whose content indicates the atom:id of an entry from a feed other than the containing feed.
Publishing applications are not required to publish atom:deletion.
Consuming applications which cache entries would need to either delete deleted entries from their caches or store additional information to indicate that they have been deleted, and would need to have a way to indicate the deletion when displaying entries so marked.
The entry ID could be moved to a child element or an attribute.

As an affiliate marketer, it is easy to get stuck somewhere with no advancement. There are affiliate marketers that are successful out there and there are a large number of them that are not succeeding at all. If you are one of those that haven't found success as an affiliate marketer, you have come to the right place.
There might be more details about affiliate marketing than you think. To succeed in affiliate marketing you need to know these details that you don't know about. What makes the difference between a successful affiliate marketer and one that is not is not how smart you are or how lucky you are, it lies in the details that you don't know.
If you are an affiliate marketer and go out there on a search in order to succeed in affiliate marketing, you can buy books, buy internet marketing tools, try them out and still end up short… maybe with some advancement, but still short.
You see, the short comings are not because there's something wrong with those tools and books, neither because there's something wrong with you, it's because you are still lacking some details in the field of affiliate marketing.
What is it that I need then right? In order to succeed in affiliate marketing you have to make sure you have covered all the bases. That has to come from only one source, not many. You can buy ten books on affiliate marketing and still not cover all the bases. This one source has to be complete, and it has to be a proven to work. It has to have made successful affiliate marketers already. It has to be put together by successful affiliate marketers focused on making other affiliate marketers successful.
I was blessed to join The Wealthy Affiliate University from the very beginning. I was looking for some way of making money online and ended up in a Wealthy Affiliate website.

Skippers men seek breakthrough season
Close, yet so far away.
That has been the story regarding the St. Clair County Community College men's basketball program the past several seasons.
For years, the Skippers have flirted with success, only to fall back because of inconsistency. However, with a new season underway, the Skippers hope to take the next and hopefully their greatest step forward.
"We are going to hang our hat on playing defense," SC4 sophomore Freddy Cook said. "Our last three practices have been our best of the year. I think more of us are getting in shape. It's a big transition from playing 94 feet in high school to playing in college.
"There has to be sacrifice. A lot of us were good in high school. We have to understand that the next pass might be the best pass, even if you have an open shot. We are just working on trusting each other, which will take us a long way."
The Skippers (2-2) showed their inconsistency recently in a pair of games at the Sodexo Classic in Indiana. After starting the season 2-0, SC4 lost to Vincennes University and John A. Logan College by a combined 79 points last weekend.
"We really, really are lacking consistency," SC4 men's basketball coach Dale Vos said. "We have our moments where we look like we could be really good. And we have too many moments where we are bad. Our good moments are good, but our bad moments are really bad. We had a tough weekend. I knew it would be difficult to get a win there, but I thought we would play better. We didn't really play that well."
To accomplish their goals, the Skippers will have to lean on their strengths, while covering up their size deficiency.
"Our athleticism is even better this year," said SC4 sophomore and Marysville High School graduate Matt Russell. "We want to win our league and hopefully make a run to nationals. But we have to improve our rebounding and our attention to detail. Sometimes we lose focus and on defense everyone has to crash the boards."
In recent seasons, the Skippers have had several standout guards. This season, SC4 hopes to find better offensive and defensive balance from the top to the bottom of its roster.
"We have struggled to score a little bit, but I think that's just a matter of all of our guys learning about each other and figuring out each other's strengths," Vos said. "We will be able to score. But we have to defend and we have to rally to the ball. It's not just rebounds. If there is a free ball we have to get it.
"We finished fourth last year in the conference, but the teams in front of us we lost to two of them in overtime and we beat the other one. We are right there. I think this team has a chance to compete for the league. We will have to get a lot tougher on defense and be unique to how we get to the free balls. If we can do those two things, we have a chance."
SC4 does have several advantages as well. The Skippers should be one of the fastest teams in the league, said SC4 sophomore guard Jeremy Landers.
"We are a little small, but we can outrun other teams and also being aggressive on defense," Landers said. "We just have to play smart and pick and choose when we want to trap. We have to box out and be aggressive. We have to want it. When we are at our best, we are hard to beat. As we are going up and down, it's hard for us to be stopped."
The Skippers will return Friday for the East/West Classic at SC4. The Skippers will face Muskegon at 8 p.m., and at 5 p.m. on Saturday, they will be host to No. 15 ranked Kalamazoo Valley Community College.

By Andrew Gilhooley / 411
There's hip-hop with a difference at Henfling's Firehouse Tavern in Ben Lomond this Friday. Al Howard and K23 Orchestra, based in San Diego, have a unique slant on the genre, relying not on beat-boxes and samples but guitar, upright bass, drums and keyboards. A concert by the band, known as AH&K23 for short, owes as much to the traditions of jazz and Latin music as to the world of urban hip-hop, with extended improvisations often spinning off from the structured songs from the band's two CDs.
Bandleader, lyricist and vocalist Alfred Howard claims that the diversity of AH&K23's sound can be traced back to the diversity of his musical influences. During the course of his life, he listened to and was influenced by jazz artists like Miles Davis and John Coltrane, classic rockers like Led Zeppelin and hip-hop artists like Mos Def and A Tribe Called Quest. After graduating from Boston College, Howard hit the road in the tradition of many American writers, traveling around the United States and writing about his experiences. The result of his travels was, in 2001, a book titled "Serpentine Highway" (Altered States Press) and the band's debut CD, which shared the same title.
"Serpentine Highway" was well received, appealing equally to hip-hop fans and jazz aficionados as well as poetry lovers and fans of jam bands like Phish and the Grateful Dead. The Scene Magazine said of AH&K23's music, "Disregard the genre of music you have an affinity for because Al Howard touches on the heart and idealistic soul of every individual."
"Serpentine Highway" was followed in 2003 by "Kudra." The same year, the band won the San Diego Music Award for best hip-hop band. AH&K23 are currently touring the West Coast and winning new fans wherever they go. When he is not on the road, Howard visits schools in and around San Diego to speak to the students about his work.
Opening for AH&K23 on Friday is Underbite, a band hailing from Mississippi. In contrast to AH&K23's hip-hop/jazz fusion, Underbite plays a quirky brand of rock music with song titles like "I Bought My Baby on eBay" and "Nipple Chicken." Describing their own music as "a synthesis of music and orthodontia for the soul," Underbite are clearly a band in the tradition of rock-satirists The Tubes. Awarded 2002's "Best Unsigned Band" by Billboard magazine, Underbite also received a Grammy nomination for "Everyday Orifice," used in the soundtrack of a documentary aired at the Sundance Film festival.

A good meal for busy but health conscious individuals
Rating: ★★★★☆
Thr1ve restaurants are steadily but surely cropping up all over Sydney and now Brisbane and Melbourne. It seems as though more and more Australians are realising that you can have healthy fast food.
I'm a big fan of Thr1ve's restaurants, which is why I was very quick to try their meal service, which is available as both a subscription and also as one-off meal purchases in some Woolworths Metro stores.
Thr1ve's philosophy is to provide meals with high quality proteins, good fats, no hidden chemicals or sugars and low carb and gluten free options. Their meal containers are also BPA free, although I still heat my meals up on a plate to be totally safe.
The meal I'm reviewing today is the Jerk Chicken and Sweet Potato mash meal. Jerk Chicken is a unique meal, not being seen in many of the other direct or indirect competitors such as Pete Evans meals, Coles' new paleo meal offerings, or Youfoodz. The sweet potato mash is seen in some competitor meals such as Pete Evans' healthy meals available in Woolworths.
It's interesting to note that this meal also comes in a breast chicken with seasonal greens variant. The breast was surprisingly juicy upon heating, although the lack of the sweet potato means this meal fits in with those looking for low carb options.
This meal costs $12.95 from the Thr1ve website, not including shipping.
Numbers and nutrition
This is a 350g meal, and it's quite filling for a pig like me (80 kg adult male exercising 6 – 7 times per week).
It's a 657 calorie meal, with a fairly even split of fats (39.2g), carbs (37.5g) and proteins (37.5g). It has 7.3 grams of sugars, which is probably from a combination of the honey and the sweet potato itself.
Here are the ingredients of the meal, taken from the Thr1ve website at the time of writing:
Jerk Chicken Thigh (43%) (Chicken Thigh (95%), Lemon Juice, Water, Onion, Olive Oil, Honey, Minced Garlic, Dried Thyme, Ground Coriander, Ground Ginger, Ground All Spice, Chilli Flakes, Ground Cinnamon, Salt).
Sweet Potato Mash 57% (White Potato, Sweet Potato (42.75%), Garlic, Ghee (Milk),Salt, Pepper)
As you can see, the ingredients list is quite clean, although the white potato in the mash is a bit worrying. Pete Evan's sweet potato mash doesn't include white potato and tastes a little better in my opinion, although this is still quite good.
This meal came in a sealed container, which is awesome because it means you don't have to freeze them. I've eaten frozen meals from other services and I've made my own meals and frozen them each week, and there's no getting over the fact that freezing a meal makes it less appealing when you reheat it.
Thr1ve's instructions are to poke a hole in the plastic film cover of the container and then heat it up for between 3 – 3.5 minutes. As mentioned above, these containers are BPA-free, although I tend to unwrap the container and then pour the contents out into a plate when heating them up. Either way my meal was heated perfectly after about 3 minutes using my microwave.
Taste test
I was a big fan of this meal. The choice of chicken thigh for this recipe means the chicken comes out of the microwave nice and juicy. The skin is also delicious, with the taste of cinnamon and chilli coming through. There was also very minimal gristle and chewy fat.
Thr1ve put the chili heat from this dish at a 3/5. I can't tolerate much spice in most foods, but I found this to be completely bearable.
The sweet potato mash was also great. It was soft, creamy and actually tastier than regular white potato mash!
Overall the two parts of the dish work quite well together with the creamy sweet potato balancing the spicier chicken.
I gave this meal a 4/5 stars. I found it to be the perfect post-workout meal when you're looking for something substantial, especially if you pair it with a fresh salad with some avocado and olives. The price of the meal is also decent: it's slightly more expensive than a $10 medium big mac meal but packs a hell of a lot more nutritional value and fewer harmful chemicals!
- Taste. These meals taste pretty great. 4/5
- Quality. Thr1ve's ingredients list, cooking fats and container choices speak a lot to its promises of health. 5/5
- Nutrition. The only thing missing from this meal is some greens, which I usually add as a fresh side salad anyway. The only other ingredient I personally don't like is the inclusion of white potato in the mash. 4/5
- Quantity. 350g makes this a fairly filling meal speaking from my perspective as a hungry adult pig *ahem* male. 4/5
- Price. $12.95 is not bad for a healthy filling meal. 4/5
- Shelf life. Great, these meals last up to a week in the fridge, so you can avoid freezing them. 4/5
- Frozen vs fresh. Fresh. 5/5

Three new cement plants must be built in velayats of Turkmenistan using foreign investments, President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov instructed the Türkmensenagat State Agency during the Wednesday working meeting with the management of industrial and communication sectors of the country.
The Head of State stressed that in order to satisfy domestic needs and export cement, at least three more cement plants should be built. He then instructed to speed up the necessary work, and to reconstruct outdated enterprises.
Turkmen President underlined the low level of utilization of production capacities at the enterprises of the Ministry of Textile Industry and instructed Deputy Prime Minister Bayramgeldy Ovezov and the management of the Ministry of Textile Industry to determine the construction sites for new profile factories and to ensure their construction.
It is also necessary to train highly qualified marketing specialists, the President of Turkmenistan noted, adding that for their training, it is necessary to invite foreign specialists.
During the meeting, it was reported that more than $3.3 billion have been invested in the development of the Türkmenhimiýa State Concern over the past 10 years, after which the concern's mineral fertilizer production capacity has tripled.
President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted that for the timely and sufficient provision of the agricultural industry with mineral fertilizers, as well as for their export, it is necessary to ensure full production capacity of the new plants.
Turkmen President focused on the tasks facing the Türkmenhimiýa State Concern and emphasized the need to increase the volume of chemicals produced for export.

Business leaders are beginning to talk about trying to block or minimize any major tax increases proposed to balance the city budget. Mayor Bloomberg isn't expected to announce a plan until next month, putting executives in a nervous holding pattern. But they say cutting spending-which would inevitably involve city worker layoffs-and increased federal aid are better options than huge tax increases. "If there isn't a realistic, rational proposal for the $5 billion deficit, then I believe the business community would have no choice but to raise objections if too much of that solution is tied to increasing taxes," says Steven Spinola, president of the Real Estate Board of New York. He says just talk of a large property tax increase could scare away tenants ready to sign city leases. "We're prepared to act responsibly, including the possibility of paying some additional fees, which we don't complain about, and some additional taxes," he says. "But don't increase real estate taxes 10% and think it won't have a tremendous impact on the economy."
Rental car fees
In a little-noticed ruling, a federal court has permanently prohibited New York City from barring car rental companies from imposing fees based on residency. The ruling, first reported by CityLaw, a publication of New York Law School, quietly ends a 10-year-old controversy. In 1992, Hertz imposed daily rental fees based on where renters lived in the city. The fees were $56 for the Bronx, $34 for Brooklyn, $15 for Queens and $3 for Manhattan. Hertz said the fees would offset the higher costs of lawsuits in New York City, which accounted for 25% of its liability on rental cars. The City Council soon passed a law prohibiting the fees. Hertz went to court and obtained an injunction. In July, U.S. District Court Judge Whitman Knapp permanently blocked the law, saying it violated the Sherman Antitrust Act. He also said that during the last 10 years, the fees have lowered Hertz's liability while not discriminating against minorities.
MTA capital
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has hired an executive search firm, Krauthermaer and Associates of Chevy Chase, Md., to help find a president for one of the authority's new divisions, MTA Capital Co. As part of the agency's reorganization, all the projects in the MTA's $17 billion capital program will being consolidated into a single subdivision.
MOVING ON: The New York Stock Exchange has hired a new Washington lobbyist: Anaias "Andy" Blocker III, who had been a lobbyist for American Airlines. Mr. Blocker, who was named vice president for government relations, previously served as a special assistant for legislative affairs for former President Bill Clinton.

Northwave Campus Jacket review
If you love performance clothing with Italian flare, the Campus Jacket will get you goingGBP £79.99 RRP Skip to view deals
Latest deals
If you love performance clothing with Italian flare, the Campus Jacket will get you going.
Despite its name, it's not for wearing to the pub with old uni chums but for keeping you warm in wind and a little rain with its NW 4PRO material. The cut is flatteringly tight and women-specific so try the next size up if you like a looser fit. The tail is slightly longer than the front and keeps you well protected when you're stretched over the bars.
The arms and back are made of a more flexible material which allows good freedom of movement, while the front is heavier weight and windproof. The two rear back zipped pockets allow plenty of space for essentials, though you'd struggle to fit a full waterproof in them. A top which is as at home in casual use as it is at the race from the traffic-lights.

Eliza McCartney has fired a warning shot at her Commonwealth Games pole vault rivals with an exceptional clearance in her first competition of the summer.
The Kiwi Olympic bronze medallist cleared 4.70m off a short 10-step run-up at the Potts Classic meet in Hastings on Saturday.
In her first hit-out since her failed world championships medal bid in August, McCartney eased over that height and then raised the bar to 4.83m, which would have eclipsed her Oceania record.

YOUNG artists helped to improve walking and cycling conditions near their primary school.
Pupils from St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Dobbin Close, Belmont Circle, unveiled a mural along an underpass on the Belmont Trail walking and cycling route, which they had designed with Harrow Arts Centre staff and other community groups to make it feel safer and more accessible for families.
Over the last three years, cycling and walking in the area has been made more accessible with a new off road cycle track, shared cycle and pedestrian paths and sign posts identifying the trail.
Councillor Phillip O'Dell, portfolio holder for environment and community safety said: "I am delighted to see the improvements made to the Belmont Trail. It is a wonderful example of a project involving people from across the community. I hope that the improvements will encourage more people to cycle and walk the route and that they will feel safer when doing this."
The latest works centre around the Belmont Trail pass near the Belmont Circle and community members have helped to remove graffiti and rubbish, improve drainage and plant flowers.

Am I calm because I have no reason to shout?
What if the I have the reason to shout?
Will I consider another person's emotions?
Or will I just blurt it all out?
Am I loving because I am being loved?
What if the people I love hate me?
Will I still love them?
Or is my love conditional?
Am I listening because I am learning?
What if there is nothing to learn?
Will I still listen to a weary soul?
Or will I just go on my own way?
Am I your friend because I want to be?
Or is there something to gain from you?
What if you have nothing to offer me?
Will I still be a good friend?
Do I believe in Jesus because I was born a Christian?
Or because He is the Way, the Truth and Life?
What if I was on a lost and lonely path?
Will I still find my way to Him
If I was a lost and lonely path,
I am sure I will not know my way to Him
But I am very certain that He would have found me
And answered all the questions bothering my fragile heart…

lode (n.)
Middle English spelling of load (n.) "a burden," it keeps most of the word's original meaning "a way, a course, something to be followed." The differentiation in sense took place 16c., that of spelling somewhat later. Mining sense of "vein of metal ore" is from c. 1600, from the notion of miners "following" it through the rock. Also found in lodestone, lodestar, and, somewhat disguised, livelihood. Middle English also had lodesman (c. 1300) "leader, guide; pilot, steersman."

POULSBO — The Vikings needed to take three points from Port Angeles in order to tie them for first place in the Olympic League on Tuesday night.
They won the match, but were unfortunately only able to get two as the two teams went to penalty kicks after playing scoreless soccer for 90 minutes.
Emma Harper, Audrey Zinn, Emily DeLay and Maiya Greene scored as North Kitsap (12-1-1) won the shootout 4-2 and the match 1-0.
Because the district tournament bracket does not reseed after the first round, the second place team from the Olympic League is the one that has the opportunity to play in the district championship game, while the first place team cannot finish higher than third. The disadvantage is that the second place team must win two games to reach the 2A state tournament while the first place team only has to win one.
With two league matches remaining, North Kitsap can finish no lower than second in the Olympic League, which will give them an opportunity to host a first round district game on either Nov. 2 or Nov. 5
But after losing 5-0 to the Roughriders in Port Angeles (11-2-1) earlier this year, the team was happy to pick up the victory either way.
"I was happy because the performance we had up there, the score line didn't really reflect how the game went," said head coach Greg St. Peter.
Both teams had a few chances to break the stalemate in regulation. North Kitsap's best chance came after Kamora McMillian sent a perfect pass from the midfield to a streaking Charlotte Bond. As the Port Angeles keeper charged out of her net to play the ball, Bond managed to lift the ball up over the keeper, but it ended up bouncing right into the goal post.
The Roughriders played defensively against the Vikings, keeping numbers back in order to keep their counterattack contained.
"We do have a lot of speed and I think they try to absorb that, but we did great, we were finding the slot and working our way up the field."
North Kitsap was down 1-0 after the first round of the shootout, but Harper and Zinn converted while Sophia Pixton made a save on one Port Angeles attempt and another went high over the net to give them a 2-1 lead. Greene scored the final penalty with a shot to the low right corner to set off the celebration.

We often get the 'feeling' of something, it goes normally accompanied by the 'knowing'. There's no knowing without feeling. Feeling is first. In order to know (I am talking about inner knowing, not knowledge, please note), we must feel first. The soul comes before the mind. We can push down the feeling with the mind, but the feeling is always there, no matter what. Feeling is the secret. It's a simple, yet powerful concept.
Consciousness, awareness of the self or self-awareness is the creative principle of everything that exists ("God"), and the only objective reality. The rest is perception, projection, illusion, including what we call the material world. This reminds me of the book that opened up a can of worms for me over a decade ago: "Infinite love is the only truth, everything else is illusion", by David Icke (many truths in this man's mouth). The conscious (which is male because it's immediate and direct) impregnates the subconscious (female, hidden and indirect), while the subconscious expresses all that it's impregnated upon it. Our subconscious is the key to creating our world, it transcends reason and it is independent of thought, it contemplates feeling as a fact in itself and it gives expression to it. It is analog with saying that behind a great man there is always an even greater woman 🙂 .
It works like this: A feeling creates an idea in the subconscious, and once felt (be it good, bad or indifferent), it must be expressed consciously. So when we don't acknowledge our feelings we impregnate our subconscious with undesirable states that bottle up and create disharmony. Recognize your feelings, and express them. Do not suppress your feelings in order to please others, as small as they may be. Get them out and say/express things as they are. Do not dwell in lack, do not get off your wagon to get to the level of those beneath you. Why not? because you will be in loss (you'll get hurt) if you do. I talk from experience.
Seeking things on the outside for that which we don't feel we are, just because it's cool, popular, to please someone, or because we are hiding from ourselves, is to seek in vain, for we never find that which we want, we only find that which we are. That's why we must be mindful of appearances and the senses, we must overcome and master our senses and dedicate time to sleep and pray/meditate/allow our mind to wander. When we close our eyes we just are, our ego and our consciousness go to rest, because we aren't deceived by perception. It is during sleep that our subconscious gives instructions to the conscious, and both states become one.
So, as an example, all the things I wrote above this paragraph, I know them. But it is through the experience of feeling that I really integrate that knowing in my being. Talking about the conscious and the subconscious only makes sense when we associate those abstract concepts with experiences, memories or feelings that we know, otherwise it's impossible to picture them. Often healing techniques for the soul and spirit use a lot of abstract concepts that we can not perceive directly through the senses, we only get them through our conscious mind (we 'imagine' them, but we don't know them), and it takes the embodied experience of feeling (translated into emotion) to really purge or release them, hence knowing.
When one spends a lot of time alone there are pros and cons. Although the pros are definitely great things – and much needed – the cons are quite ugly. The lower levels of our subconscious can trick us into believing we are powerless, worthless, so consciously we end up following the majority, in order to escape from our loneliness… and in knowing that this is not the path, we read a lot and turn to people who are more spiritually elevated than us to inspire and guide us, from whom we learn a lot of techniques and knowledge, consciously. We also turn to friends and trusty people who listen and give us their advice as best as they know, while the wound is still lying, dormant and powerful, subconsciously.
I called my mum. I voiced to her the frustrations that I should have voiced to others a long time ago, the thoughts (knowings) that I said to myself but I didn't say to others (in words and emotions). She always knows, I don't need to say much. With endless compassion she scolded me with tough love and truth. It wasn't what she said that mattered much. It was the emotion behind the tone of her voice, which I cannot describe with words, that did it. I cried and sobbed like a little kid, for nearly an hour. And for many more hours after she hang up. I landed on the ground. Ahhh… finally, relief! It was pure love that reached my subconscious, and healed me. So all that I had read and knew, was, at last, felt.
And that is the difference.
