en | N/A | N/A | Insights USA: Share deal vs. Asset deal. Transaction Structuring
We repeatedly discover that the transaction structure was not discussed within the terms of the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) and subsequent negotiations can be costly for the buyer. This question does not only apply for the US, but also internationally, because the answer can potentially yield considerable benefits or disadvantages to both buyers and sellers. Below, we discuss the factors influencing the transaction structure from the perspective of the buyer, unless otherwise stated.
Share vs. Asset Deal – General Differences
In a share deal, the buyer acquires a separate legal entity, while under an asset deal the assets and liabilities acquired can be transferred directly into the purchasing legal entity. However, it is often useful to establish a separate legal entity that takes over the business that was acquired via the asset deal.
Benefits of an asset deal for the buyer
The most obvious advantage of an asset deal is what is popularly known as “cherry picking”. This means that the buyer can usually select the individualupon purchase. This can be important in the case of liabilities, especially in case of unknown risks or with companies at risk of insolvency. Examples of these liabilities are pension obligations, warranty risks or to what extent employees are to be transferred. However, a buyer cannot fully protect himself by means of an asset deal (e.g. environmental risks with the acquisition of land).
Often,seek an asset deal as a buyer is the tax impact of the transaction.
In the share deal context, the investment is recorded without tax revaluation, and no deduction with respect to goodwill is recognized for U.S. income tax reporting. In case of an asset deal, alts are revalued in the GAAP and tax balance sheets as part of the Purchase Price Allocation (“PPA”) and t Intangible assets including goodwill can be amortized over 15 years for tax purposes, an amount that is often significant in a transaction.
Disadvantages of an asset deal for the buyer
Existing contracts are not automatically transferred with an asset deal. Permits, certificates, and similar rights may be linked to the Target legal entity and are consequently not transferred as part of an asset deal. Therefore, long-term contracts a reason to choose a share deal over an asset desech requires the consent of the contracting party for the successful transfer of the contract to the buyer in the event of the sale of the business. In that case, the automatic transfer of such a contract is not possible under either a share deal or an asset deal.
Disadvantages of an asset deal for the seller
In the U.S., the question during the negotiations as to whether the seller will suffer a tax disadvantage in an asset deal compared to a share deal depends heavily on the tax identity of the company and the option exercised on how to be taxed.
In a share deal, profit is generally taxed at a lower tax rate compared to the regular tax rate. The tax rates can nominally vary by up to approx. 20%.
In the U.S., a distinction is made between transparent and non-transparent entities, similar to the taxation of a private limited company in Germany (GmbH) (non-transparent, i.e. at company level) and of a partnership (transparent, i.e. at the level of the partner).
If the target is taxed transparently, then there is normally no significant additional tax burden for an asset deal compared to a share deal. This means that, even with an asset deal, the seller will enjoy the lower tax rate (exception: “Recapture of Depreciation” in the case of revaluation of balance sheet assets).
As long as the revaluation of the assets recognized by the target company is not material (meaning that the fundamental driver of increased value lies in previously unrecognized intangible assets, including goodwill), there is usually no significant tax disadvantage for a transparently taxed seller.
If no lower tax rate is applicable in connection with an asset deal, e.g. if Target is a “C Corp” (taxed separately from its owners), then the tax disadvantage of the seller is generally roughly equivalent to the tax benefit of the buyer. However, since the additional tax liability of the seller will likely accrue in the year of sale (absent the application of the income tax instalment sales rules), but the tax benefit of the buyer is spread over up to 15 years, it is frequently not economically justifiable to increase the purchase price via purchase price gross-up so as to induce the seller to agree to an asset deal.
Hybrid transaction structure – special case 338(h)(10) election U.S. Tax
A special U.S. income tax option for structuring is the so-called “338(h)(10) election” in which, under certain conditions, a share deal This requires a joint declaration by the buyer and seller to U.S. tax authorities. The buyer must be acquiring at least 80 percent of the shares in the target.
The consequence of this joint declaration is that the GAAP balance sheet follows the application of a share deal (i.e. a subsidiary is transferred, which is booked as an investment in the company balance sheet of the buyer, but eliminated within). However, for income tax reporting, the election reflects an asset deal treatment (i.e. potentially goodwill and the revaluation of assets in the (consolidated) tax balance sheet of the buyer).
If there are non-tax reasons why both parties prefer a share deal and the target’s tax identity allows for the election, the choice of this hybrid transaction structure may be very attractive for both buyer and seller.
It is imperative to check the benefits and disadvantages of transaction structure alternatives prior to the LOI phase. Both legal and tax factors are important when deciding which transaction structure should be pursued by the parties. The rule of thumb is that the seller may prefer a share deal, while the buyer may often prefer an asset deal. In order to negotiate the transaction structure, it is advisable that the buyer understands the seller’s tax situation. In addition to the special case of the “338 election”, there may be other alternative structures available to achieve a tax-basis step-up. The buyer should explore the availability of such structuring options at an early stage. |

en | N/A | N/A | WARNING: Diiodoacetylene is extremely toxic (ref. 2) and a shock, heat and friction sensitive explosive (ref. 2,3).
This preparation is a slightly modified version of that of Dehn (ref. 1). 3g of potassium iodide was dissolved into 40ml of distilled water in a 100ml measuring cylinder. A steady stream of acetylene produced by calcium carbide in water was bubbled through the potassium iodide solution. A 12.5% solution of sodium hypochlorite was slowly dripped into the bubbling potassium iodide solution where by the solution turned reddish amber, then turning pale yellow. The slow addition of hypochlorite was continued until a floculent white precipitate of diiodoacetylene fills the measuring cylinder and the hypochlorite addition no longer turns the solution yellow (figure 1).
The precipitate was filtered, flushed with cold water and dried in a cardboard box since diiodoacetylene is light sensitive. Its also volatile and will be lost through sublimation if left uncovered.
The slow addition of the hypochlorite is used to produce the unstable hypoiodite, which reacts with the acetylene to produce diiodoacetylene. The equations for the reactions are as follows.
The yield of diiodoacetylene melting at 81°C from this procedure is about 88%. Losses are due to the instability of the hypoiodite which decomposes through the following equations:

Very interesting! I suppose you haven't yet tested the sensitivity, etc?
Also, you must be aware of dichloroacetylene? This can be made by trichloroethylene and NaOH IIRC. It spontaneously combusts at air. I think Polverone discovered it by accident.
Anyway - do you know for a fact that NaOI is needed? Other than that it disproportionates quickly, would it be possible to simply use an alcoholic I2 solution, or I2 in KI, with no NaOCl?
Great work. As it's a solid, I could imagine that diiodoacetylene is a great syntheon.... were you thinking of making the never isolated dinitro acetylene with it?
There are of course many other things that could be done with it.
No, I havn't tested sensitivity. (yet)
The other documented procedures for diiodoacetylene are not friendly at all, requiring liquid amonia etc. You can't use I2 as it will add to the triple bond, giving diiodethylene.
Actually I was going to try form diiodoxyacetylene, iodoxyalkenes are known but I've never seen mention of iodoxyalkynes. But it would have to be done by direct oxidation, as chlorination will destroy the triple bond. Not real sure how to do it. Carries a bit more ballast but it would have 0% OB like dinitroacetylene which would already be made if it were that simple!
Tetramerisation to octaiodoxycubane reduction with HCl to octaiodocubane, additon of AgNO2 to octanitrocubane
Im not sure what properties of substituted acetylenes are needed for the tetramerisation, but it is at least known.

When I read the topic I remembered that diidoacetylene was mentioned in the M.Satori's war gasses,
I loked for it there and found it at page 52. And there is not only the standart preparation method.
There is written that Bayer prepared it together with tetraiodoethylene by the action of I2 on CaC2.
CaC2 + 2I2 ==> CaI2 + I-CEC-I
I hope that the reaction will produce more diidoacetylene than tetraiodoethylene (is on the I-CEC-I side). Maybe someone trys it, because I've no CaC2
BTW Is it true that you can't reply on a post by clicking on post reply button if you aren't logged in?

Never thought to look in war gasses. It states that you can produce diiodoacetylene via C2H2 + KI + I2, if done in basic aqueous solution, with the hydroxide producing the intermediate hypoiodite from I2. More interesting is the structure it gives, a carbene :C=CI2. Maybe a tautomer? Everwhere else gives the basic acetylene structure I-CEC-I.
Seems the reaction is very dependent on the solvent used. I2 in ethanol precipitates diiodoethylene. diiodoacetylene in petroleunm ether + I2 precipitates tetraiodoethylene. Diiodoacetylene in chloroform + Cl2 produces hexachloroethane.

Once I read about a supposed non-hazardous preparation of dichloroacetylene, I googled and found that it is the following article:
Gefahrlose Darstellung von Dichloracetylen als Vorlesungsversuch
Journal für Praktische Chemie
Volume 135, Issue 3-5, 1932. Pages 142-144
Then I had a look in the "Free online journals" thread by chemoleo, and hooray, the entire "Journal für praktische Chemie" is available online for free!
Here you can access the mentioned article:
It's the first time I found an article that I have been wanting for a long time, I feel proud!
Dichloroacetylene is formed in 65% yield by dropping trichloroethylene on anhydrous KOH which is heated to 180°C in a glass tube, so effectively from trichloroethylene vapors and KOH at this temperature. The product occasionally ignites during preparation, it is also important to keep the temperature at exactly 180°C.
It is also possible to produce it from hypochlorite solution and acetylene, but with very tight control of reaction conditions and with slow reaction and low yield.
Dibromoacetylene is formed much easier and faster from hypobromite and acetylene, making this a suitable method of preparation.
The actual demonstration makes use of a solution of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (30ml) in xylene (30ml) which is warmed with anhydrous KOH (16g) under nitrogen atmosphere. Dichloroacetylene is formed and bubbled through water, the bubbles spontaneously combust as soon as they hit air. A lot of phosgene is formed during this combustion, so a fume hood is crucial.

My original suggestions were based on the assumption that all the articles were to be in one pdf with header on all pages, thats why I thought the title/header looked too big.

Diiodoacetylene also forms from impure KI (KI mixed with KIO3) using the same method. But even better due to the much higher solubility of NaI, is from iodine tincture which has NaOH added until it becomes colorless, and then the solution boiled to boil off the alcohol. A small amount of the compound made from the tincture explodes mildly under a hammer blow leaving behind yellow-blackish residue.
Diiodoacetylene is an extremely volatile and highly penetrable substance, over a day period I lost the entire gram amount despite it being in a small cardboard box, wrapped in two separate plastic layers, then taped shut all around, and then put in a zip-lock bag in the dark and cool area in a cement barricade. It also has a very strong smell. It is best to only use glass (beakers, funnels, etc) in its preparation and isolation, as it contaminates plastics with its smell for a long time, unless maybe these are placed under the sun.
More about its physiological and pharmacological properties. Here were done several experiments about its toxicity and ability to stop decay: Archiv fuer experimentelle Pathologie und Pharmakologie V. 41 (1898), pgs. 113-142. Quick notes on this from Centralblatt für die medicinischen Wissenschaften, 37 (1899), pg. 256 and Schmidt's Jahrbücher der In- und ausländischen gesammten Medicin 263 (1899), p. 231:
When injected over a period of two days subcutaneously, the deadly dose in rabbits was found to be 0.2-0.3 g at a weight of 1500-2400 g. That would be 133 mg/kg to 125 mg/kg bodyweight. In the stomach it caused local irritation. By subcutaneous injection oedemias result in areas distant from the injection site and it does not hinder the formation of abscesses at the injection site. It apparently affects the respiration organs adversely, probably due to the acetylene. A part of diiodoacetylene in the body decomposes, splitting off iodine, an other part goes through the body undecomposed. Per iodine content, diiodoacetylene gives lethal doses where iodoform has no significant action. Diiodoacetylene has highly powerful anti-putrefaction properties, much higher than iodoform and several other tested iodine compounds, only cyanogen iodide comes close. Though they also say it is not practical to employ due to its toxicity and penetrating odor. I’ve also felt some of its strong disinfecting properties. As I was coming down with a cold and runny nose I took a few gentle whiffs of the vapor from the mg amounts and it almost entirely cleared up my nose within minutes.
For comparison: all for the rabbit: Ethylenediamine subcutaneous: 500 mg/kg LDLo (lowest lethal dose). Formaldehyde (subcut.): 240 mg/kg LDLo. NH4Cl: LDLo subcut., 200 mg/kg. H3BO4: subcut. LDLo: 150 mg/kg. Lewisite (blister agent) subcut.: LD50: 2 mg/kg. Subcut. strychnine LDLo: 700 mcg/kg.

A much more energetic compound would be diiododiacetylene:
Which is mentioned in: Adolf von Baeyer's gesammelte Werke (1905), p. 698. They say It is prepared from silver diacetylide under water, which is treated with a solution of iodine in KI, this quickly absorbs the iodine and one obtains a weakly yellow precipitate. To extract the formed compound, the precipitate is filtered and extracted with ether. Upon evaporation of the ether, left behind is a colorless, beautifully crystallizing substance of a melting point of 101 deg., which odor reminds one of iodoform. Analysis of C4I2 showed: I: 84.1 (found: 84.1); C: 15.8 (found: 15.9). That this is actually an iodine derivative of diacetylene can be shown due to it yielding this hydrocarbon; if the substance is treated with Cu2Cl2 solution, the iodine is replaced by copper, and one obtains upon warming with hydrochloric acid or KCN solution diacetylene with all of its properties.
Heating this compound in a tube causes it to explode with extreme violence giving a very unusual lightning-like red flash. Upon storage in light, it changes to a brown mass, which seems to be soluble in no solvent. This polymer explodes when heated with a violent bang without creating fire, and under the formation of iodine vapors and leaving behind small amounts of voluminous coal.

Diiodoacetylene is got to be a useful synthetic reagent.
I was wondering though, if the analogous methyliodoacetylene (or iodo-methylacetylene... CH3.C...C.I) could be prepared from methylacetylene, a certain amount of which exists in MAPP gas.
posted on 21-4-2009 at 18:35
The preparation of iodoallylene CH3.C:.C.I is described by Liebermann in J. pr. Ch. 98, 45 (Lieb. Ann. 135 [1865], 266) propyne isn't used there, the silver salt is. A non-specific procedure, he already notes shaking some silverpropyne with aq. solution of I2 in KI, reacts and discolors precipitating AgI and giving a terrible stench.
For the preparation, a retort is connected to a cooler, moist silverpropyne is added and through a tube a solution of iodine in KI is added until discoloration occurs. Then upon heating, before the water vapors, an unpleasant-smelling oil goes over (comes over as a yellow and sparse oil droplets as an emulsion) when the contents of the flask were brought to boil.
If an excess of I2 is used, upon heating there was eventually discoloration, but in the condensing tube white crystals (this is C3H3I3) formed in small amount. The oil which was obtained in small amounts was completely pure after a small excess of iodine was removed through dilute NaOH solution. The iodine analysis was carried out with burned marble. 0.6504g of compound gave 0.9176g AgI, corresponding to 76.26% (calculated 76.50% from C3H3I), etc.
The pure oil has a sp. gr. of 1.7 and boils at 98 deg. It has the stenching odor and irritating properties of Berend's acetylene iodide (diiodoacetylene). It has little solubility in water and alcohol, but is easily soluble in ether and glacial acetic acid. Water absorbs "its characteristic odor", where it will decolorize small amounts of I2 forming a small, colorless glancing crystals. Glacial acetic acid absorbs it easily, but it precipitates unchanged if water is added. The oil is volatile and will evaporate alongside alcohol or ether, for example. It doesn't burn (Liebermann claims it's not flammable), solubilizes I2 with a red coloring which soons vanishes. Br2 reacts under hissing and ignition. It is not changed by: aq. KOH (even on heating), sodium and sodium alcoholate. With zinc and hydrochloric acid or zinc amalgam it develops allylene (propyne).
In a lengthy paper, J.V.Nef in Lieb. Ann. 308 [1899] 264/328, 309 states Liebermann's iodoallylene had very different physical properties, his was impure, a mixture of Ag2C2 and AgC3H3. Nef made it as follows:
a solution of 17.2g iodine and 11.6 g KI in 23g H2O is added slowly under shaking to 10 g C3H3Ag which is suspended in 10g H2O. Then immediately a part of the water is distilled off, as long as oily drops come over. The oil is separated from the water, washed with dilute NaOH aq., and dried with CaCl2. 31.1g C3H3Ag yield 28g of oil, which will boil at 109-110 deg. without the smallest decomposition. Nef characterizes it so: colorless, strongly sweet smelling, non-poisonous oil with a spec. gr. of 2.08 at 22 deg. where according to Liebermann, Bp. was 97 deg. and sp. gr. 1.70. And where Liebermann states it has the stenching odor and irritant properties of diiodoacetylene, Nef says this is enough to confirm his was impure. Nef confirms triiodopropylene forming from I2 and the compound.
Though Nef and Liebermann are both wrong in claiming C3H3Ag isn't explosive, it is, but it is much safer and weaker than Ag2C2. Also significantly less sensitive to shock. And that would be a short little history lesson about the compound. A little impurity goes a long way sometimes.

Would the reaction of diiodoacetylene with lithium nitrite in an ethyl ether solvent make dinitro-acetylene?
posted on 15-9-2010 at 16:28
That was me, actually - seven years ago (wow, been a long time), exhibiting a laughable understanding of organic chemistry, I postulated that stirring trichloroethylene with NaOH would yield acetaldehyde and instead found myself with a dense oil. I disposed of it immediately after finding out just what unstable of all unholy compounds I had made: it explodes on contact with sunlight!
Interestingly, it's supposedly possible to prepare HCCCl by substituting the hydroxide with potassium carbonate. Disclaimer: old references, so who knows if it's true. Any German speakers up for some translation duty?

Chemische Berichte, 1909, vol. 42, p. 4234
Dinitroacetylene sounds scary, the nitrite isomer, terrifying. The latter, which surely would be produced in some quantity, would probably spontaneously rearrange to form... an explosion. Stick to more benign substitutions.

"There will also be a few nitrites stuck on in place of the nitro group, such an arrangement is probably unstable and likely to decompose into:
which may be useful,
This might react with NH2OH, condensing into:
which then could possibly be selectively reduced with bisulfite to: HONH--CH2--CH2--NHOH
This reduction is possible through tautomers; as soon as the nitroso is reduced to a hydroxylamine group, a tautomer will form in which the nitroso group reforms, while a hydrogen is added to a carbon, formaldoxime has a tautomer of nitrosomethane, for example."
DinitroAcetylene would also be of interest to
"PrimoPyro" in his attempt to make hexanitrobenzene.
DinitroAcetylene would probably be a very energetic compound, perhaps vaporizing rather than pulverizing whatever object happens to be in close proximity, the explosive version of an oxy-acetylene torch.

That's about as wishful of thinking as I've seen on here.
Forget any notion of this being utilizable for anything other than self mutilation. Electron density would migrate on formation and the energy released by such would be so great that it's hard to see anything potentially useful existing for long enough to interact with another molecule.
Please, no one ever mix a dihaloacetylene with a nitrite - it'll just explode.

In 1951 the Chinese Army erupted across the border and into the Korean War. The UN Army — in reality the United States and a coalition of allies — was in retreat, streaming south to regroup. Like the Highland Division at Dunkirk, the Glosters were to hold a line to let the big brigades go by, sacrificing themselves if need be. The Chinese came in their tens of thousands directed by a blare of bugles. On the hill the guns grew so hot they seized up but the enemy never stopped, an untrained army sent to overwhelm by sheer weight of numbers.
T. S. Eliot tells us that good new literature can change all that's been written before. In other words, great poetry changes us, makes us grow a little, so we look back at earlier poets with different eyes. Perhaps art is changed in the same way by things the artist can never imagine. Ruskin, it's said, taught us how to see but did he have anything to say about the power of events to change us, so that a work of art is never finished or final but grows (or shrinks) in the minds of later generations?
Ha Jin. War Trash: A Novel. New York: Vintage International, 2004.
This powerful novel tells the tale of one of those untrained, badly armed Chinese soldiers who were betrayed by their leaders into dying by the thousands in suicide attacks after having been repeatedly told by government propaganda that American, British, and other U. N. troops were decadent westerners who would run at the first sight of the People's Liberation Army; they didn't, as the narrator quickly learns. Taken prisoner after being badly wounded, he spends the rest of the war in a POW camp and the rest of his life in disgrace because he had been captured alive. The novel, which is told from the Chinese soldier's point of view, conveys their bravery, disillusionment, and yet resistance as prisoners — and makes very clear what those British soldiers Dick Sullivan mentions were fighting for. [The author, Ha Jin, who came to the United States in 1985, has won the PEN/Faulkner Award, National Book Award, and many other prizes for earlier novels; he is now Professor of English at Boston University.]
Unfortunately only Americans, British, Australians, and a few others remember how U. N. forces saved South Korea: older South Koreans know the truth, but because Korean secondary-school history books do not even mention what happened, the young, some of whom actually believe their country defeated Japan by itself in WW II (!), deeply resent U. S. troops and believe Western powers have kept them apart from a reconciliation with North Korea. As Oscar Wilde put it, no good deed goes unpunished. [GPL] |

The chicken is prepared with yummy treats like olives, capers, prunes, garlic, oregano, and, of course, more precious olive oil . . . All those good things that remind her of the Mediterranean . . .
The little girl fell in love with the story, in part because she could relate so much to the princess in the book: She was a bit lonely, a bit spoiled, definitely daddy’s girl, and had a powerful aversion to frogs.
That lucky little girl learned more than a few important life lessons that summer. Among them, the sanctity of all life, including that of an ugly frog, and, because in her young mind, the king in the book got mixed up with her father, both honorable men, she also learned the importance of keeping her word. Lastly, she learned that under no circumstances whatsoever would she ever eat frog legs.
In honor of all the wonderful lessons that little girl learned from her father, I’ve prepared a breakfast tray fit for a prince - my Prince, that is. |

My current knowledge is of all the elementary particles and how they interact and build upon each other to build the macroscopic world.
Will I be able to continue forward and understand more in particle physics or should I stop now and start learning probability theory and whatever else I might need?
Is there a place where I can start to learn the maths? Is there a place where I can learn all the maths but on a novice level?

I don't think it is possible to learn physics without math. Mathematics is the language of physics and you can't learn a subject without learning its langauage. (This is just my opinion though).
To start with particle physics, I think you should first learn quantum mechanics and special relativity. For quantum mechanics, grab a copy of Griffith or any other similar book. Knowledge of single variable calculus and differntial equation is needed though.For vector calculus, you can look into the first few chapters of Feynmann lectures vol 2. Along with these, you must also learn abstract Linear algebra (theory of vector spaces) , very basic group theory (definition of group and group actions) and multivariable calculus.
Once you are done with qm and special relativity, you will be ready for Quantum Field Theory.A nice book for QFT is Quantum Field Theory in nutshell by A. Zee. Also,, now you should learn about theory of group representations and lie groups. A good introductory book for this topic is Group and Symmetries by Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach. The last chapter deals with particle physics.
Note that this route won't make an expert on the topic but you will gain a good understanding of it.
$\begingroup$ I never expected any understanding without math, I just wanted to know if my current understanding is enough for what I want to know. And it is close $\endgroup$ – KDecker Apr 1 '13 at 18:07
$\begingroup$ +1 for Zee. It won't by itself equip you to do some of the tough calculations, but the pedagogy is very clear and the level is just right for the most accessible introduction to QFT which doesn't lie through omission of essential math. The group theory appendix in Zee has the minimum you need to know - you pick most of that up through osmosis anyway. Groups are essential to physics, but mostly at a low level compared to mathematicians. A full mathematical course in group theory is rarely needed. $\endgroup$ – Michael Brown Apr 2 '13 at 1:27
$\begingroup$ Is it possible to learn QFT without knowledge of classical mechanics, complex analysis, electromagnetism, partial differential equations, Green's functions, particle physics? $\endgroup$ – auxsvr May 11 '14 at 13:16
I believe that particle physics is a field where to be able to contribute to the field you must have the mathematics. Without them your understanding will be severely limited and in many cases not even wrong. On the other hand it is possible to contribute to physics to in general with no more math than you get in junior high. This is because physics is the study of everything that exists, and the relationships of all these things. To do physics all that is required is curiosity about the way things work and why. Albert Einstein kept pictures of Newton, Maxwell and Faraday on his study wall and Faraday knew only simple algebra yet is considered to be one of the "greats of physics".

If that's the case, you should find a shop in your area that repairs tractor trailer tires, they would know how to fix it.

A couple has been arrested by the police and are currently undergoing interrogation after allegedly beaten up their sister-in-law for infidelity.
According to Vanguardngr, Bela (the victim) who is married to Amsterdam-based Felix Omeneka, brother to Kelly, was beaten to a pop by Kelly and his wife Mercy in their family home in Ajao Estate over the weekend.
No sooner than she moved into the family house than the battles started between herself and her brother and sister in law-Kelly and Mercy.
Bela says: “Kelly dide.
A member of the family called and instructed them to seize my marriage certificate so that I won’t have any vital document to prove that the union is legal. Kelly also seized my phone and dragged me out of the building.

Wicca & Witchcraft SpellsThe Persecution of Witches
Evil, even though we like to shift the blame onto others, does not belong to a foreign substance, which is everywhere. Wiccans firmly believe that we created all the evil in the world. We are often afraid to take responsibility for what has been built up our minds, hearts and hands. People have great pleasure in placing blame on any mythical substance (Devil, Satan, Lucifer), rather than admit their own mistakes. The Dark Age (From the V to XI century, which is characterized by mass ignorance and repression in the territory of modern Europe) Christian Church sought to get rid of witches and pagans to increase its power and property. In modern times, the church has developed a marketing plan for a successful sale of Christianity. As modern marketing firms used different methods to move their goods, including intimidation, torture and disinformation. During this period, the Church has included in its structure, many deep-rooted pagan beliefs.
The church let people believe in it and brainwash people to not let them feel too deprived. The church even canonized pagan gods and goddess-take, for example, St. Birgitta. When people could not avert from paganism through belief, Christians resorted to a more powerful means. According to historians, for the years of harassment of witches were killed more than two million people. In VIII century, a document entitled "Episcopal Pali", which stated that any magic is an illusion. But at the same time, the church established the Inquisition-lethal weapons. The leaders of the Inquisition reversed it and staged a brutal persecution of innocent people throughout Europe. These bloody acts were associated with the blessing of the church. The most terrible massacres occurred in these centuries. By the time these fanatics Christian faiths were finally removed from wide spreading, the number of women dropped to alarming levels, and in towns and villages left no midwifes, healers, and female tellers. It was then that religious leaders changed the Bible, especially in a place where states : "Fortune tellers are not to be left alive." Initially, was said : "Poisoner are not to be left alive."
As can be seen, the Inquisition ruled with iron hand, and even changed the content of the Bible in order to have a free hand and fre. In XVIII century reign of the Inquisition, draining almost all life's juices from the people of Europe began to decline. Many historians call the beginning of the era of "Century of thought" in the sense that people finally began to talk about what is happening to them, rather than keep pace with the rest. In 1736 witchcraft ceased to be a crime punishable by death in England and Scotland. The last documented contested burning witches in the British Isles occurred in Scotland in 1722, when women were executed on behalf of Janet Horn. But if you look at the deeper history, we can see that even in the early XX century from time to time they hanged or burned women suspected of witchcraft.
Since then, much has changed, but some people, including clergy, are continuing to distribute numerous rumors about paganism, cast aspersions on our faith, but most sensible people understand that we are not causing any harm.

Labour in London refused to disclose Prezza's itinerary. When Our Hero visited Cornwall on Monday the locals were given just ten minutes' advance notice. Getting a radar fix on the Prescott Express was not going to be easy.
Plainly this was a job for Sherlock Holmes, so I donned cape, deerstalker hat and magnifying glass and took to the streets of Birmingham. Obvious first stop: the HP sauce factory in Aston. No joy.
The tourist information stand had its hands full. I stopped a couple in the station concourse. 'John Prescott? Good God, we hope not,' they said. The Birmingham Hippodrome was advertising the Rat Pack, but no boxing matches or slapstick comedy.
At 12.10pm two police cars went haring down the Hagley Road, towards Edgbaston. 'Follow those jam butties!' I cried to my valiant driver. 'Yessssir!' he yelled.
A school seemed a likely place for a Prescott visit. At Newman College the food and beverage manager had heard nothing. He had not been asked to order in any extra pies, put it like that. Had I tried the Bartley Green Technology College?
Bingo! Two men in bulky raincoats stood outside its gates. 'Are you by any chance police officers?' I enquired. One, head like a battering ram, replied gruffly: 'And are you by any chance a j-ee-ourr-nalist?' By God, they're sharp these Plods.
Two women were wearing soggy red rosettes. Then I spotted the normally genial Gisela Stuart. 'What are YOU doing here?' she demanded. I was told to skedaddle.
At 1.30pm, to cheers from ten rain-lashed Labour diehards, the Prescott Express hove into view. Out came Buster Gusset himself. He scowled at poor Mrs Stuart, ignored the party faithful, and then spotted me with my anorak and drenched notebook. Whoosh! One kettle, fully boiled.
He was now stomping towards the school. I was elbowed in the ribs by a muscular woman. 'Are you a Labour official?' I wheezed. 'Certainly not!' she said, really insulted. 'I'm a police officer!'
By now Mr Prescott was on the far side of a high fence, meeting selected children. Pretty Miss Priest (built like Jason Leonard) firmly banned me from the publicly funded premises. And that, dear readers, is the way things look from the front line of democracy. |

The old file fileCoincidences.dat is then closed and a new one fileCoincidences_1.dat is opened. This should work for both Coincidences and Singles. The file size limit is set to 2GB by default, and the user can set it to a different value, or to zero (in this case no file swap is done). In addition, there will be the possibility to choose the variables to include in Coincidences and Singles ASCII files, with a mask. I hope the new additions will come out soon in the next release, but we still need to wait for some validation feedback as usual before releasing the code. If the release will wait, I'll make the single modified files available for testing.

en | N/A | N/A | The obvious question for Green and one that is at the heart of the BHS scandal, which has put 11,000 jobs at risk and left the department store chain with a £571m pension deficit. Dominic Chappell's consortium Retail Acquisition bought BHS for £1 from Arcadia in March 2015. The deal was done despite Chappell being declared bankrupt three times and having no experience in the retail industry. Michael Hitchcock, the former finance consultant of BHS, told MPs last week that Chappell was a "premier league liar". Why did Green trust this man to run BHS?
The Guardian has calculated that Green and other investors took out more than £580m from BHS. The tycoon controlled the business between 2000 and 2015, with his wife, Tina, being the ultimate owner. MPs have accused Green of being an "unscrupulous chancer" and overseeing "wealth extraction rather than wealth creation". In response, Green has claimed that BHS racked up years of losses that hurt Arcadia, and that his company wrote off more than £200m of loans that it had pumped into the struggling department store chain. However, BHS had been starved of investment according to evidence from Chappell and senior management at BHS. Is Green prepared to admit that he took money out of BHS and could have done more to modernise it?
The MPhearing on Wednesday questioning Green on the negotiations that took place between himself, the BHS pension trustees and the Pensions Regulator about restructuring the BHS pension scheme. Why, for example, did Green say he was only prepared to put £10m a year into the scheme despite it being deep in deficit?Also, why did Arcadia "pause" a plan to restructure the BHS pension scheme in 2014? |

Yesterday, he had received a task he had not expected from his employer. More supplies were needed for the wizard’s other talents. It wasn’t the first time that Kynier had been tasked with gathering more ingredients for the poison making. It was different this time though. What Doler needed was not going to be found in any vendor’s inventory. The mage had been supplied a map of the immediate wilderness surrounding the city. There was very little detail, displaying landmarks and their geographic correlation to each other. Lakes, rivers, tall hills, and significant trees. While he had spent a few bells yesterday searching for the strange plant he was to harvest, his plan was to spend today searching for them and head back to Sunberth the next day.
It was a warm day with very little wind to speak of. It allowed the air to clump together and feel heavy in the lungs with the increased moisture still remnant of a damp fall. Kynier was pleased that the magic of his cloak was able to handle it and keep him at a comfortable temperature. Otherwise, he’d build a sweat quickly and feel like passing out under Syna’s warmth. Thankfully, his cloak’s magic kept him cool. Had there been a stronger wind, it would have been a much more pleasant day.
The map had a few marked locations to indicate where he should look for the plant. It seemed to grow in between the land marks on the map more than around them. Kynier folded it up and put it back in his pocket for safe keeping. He had his armor on since he was more in the Wildlands than he was comfortable with. Granted, it was only a day and a half away from the city, but that made it more important to be protected from injury. Leather covered his torso and steel plates shielded the critical points of his arms and legs. The sounds of the wilds had a strange effect on him. On the one hand, they were soothing. On the other, he was paranoid about something coming out or hunting him. So, he moved through the tall grass of the side of the hill towards a small lake that the map indicated was on the other side.
Both cold iron short swords were strapped to his belt, and a few daggers were stowed away in other places. Kynier had not been alone in the wilderness since that season his parents were taken from him. For some reason, it did not scare him as badly as it had back then. Perhaps it was because he was older, stronger. Or it might have been his training in magic, or even the experience he gained with a short blade. One thing he had learned as a child in those days, was to stay quiet. Noise brought nature’s attention.
Sweat permeated on his brow from the exertion. The mage was still not used to the additional weight of all the steel plates that covered his arms and legs. Especially when moving uphill. When he reached the crest, it evened out for a body of water from the drain off of a creek to form. Kynier scanned the area but didn’t see anything matching the description of what he was looking for. He decided to take a break and walked to the pond’s edge. The water looked clear, or at least a lot clearer than what he generally found in Sunberth. He took out a waterskin and drained the remaining contents down his throat greedily. Then he dunked the waterskin into the pond to fill it.
He slapped at his face as a bug landed briefly on his cheek. Scowling that he missed it, he pulled the full waterskin out and added a small bit of water additive to purify it. Then he settled himself on the ground to just look at the scenery. The woods weren’t thick enough to properly describe as a forest. He breathed deeply and listened to the sound of water running and bird calls. Kynier closed his eyes and took deep breaths. Resting his hands on his knees, the tips of his pointer fingers curled in to brace against the side of his thumbs to create an “O” shape, while the rest of his fingers remained unfolded.
It was the Air mudra, or hand gesture, of his Reimancy meditation. Kynier did not bother with reciting the mantra, as doing so in the wild could attract predators. The break in his search felt like a good time to practice the advanced meditation practice that he had read in the journal a few days ago. Upon the exhale of his breaths, gaseous res came out from his lips. With his will he expelled it away from him while tasking it to attract air. It caused a breeze to form, though it was small. But he kept fueling it with more res on each exhale and willed it to begin circling the pond.
After another inhale, he began to evoke a sound. A deep-toned annunciation of “yew” that he extended for as long as he could. It made a reverberation high up in his chest where his lungs rested. It was the sound and physical aspect associate with Air. With the additional res, a small gust of wind capable of cooling the area a little circled around. Kynier concentrated on the sensation of Air moving around him and out of his body as he continued to utter “yew”. As he did, he was reflecting on the addition of his own soul to the environment around him, and the power that their combination created. Woodland creatures evacuate the area as the intensity of the wind grew. All the while, the mage remained and meditated.

It turned out Alexander had left the 'comforts' of his tent in search of something as well- excitement. The sight of dirty, desperate people didn't hold his attention for too long anymore, besides, the wilderness was where he belonged. What was there to do at Tent City with its cramped quarters? Nothing that sparked Alex's attention. He always felt so serene and peaceful when surrounded by greenery. It didn't matter whether or not he was on four paws or two feet. Soloing it out was his go-to, not necessarily by choice but he couldn't complain. Occasionally, he figured meeting a new person couldn't hurt and today was one of those days. He would attempt to socialize if it just so happened someone was creeping around the woods like him.
This time, he was in his human form. It was far too warm to be strolling about with a dense, black pelt wrapped around his body. Still, the heat was bothering him but he wasn't about to turn back now. The humidity rested heavy in the air, encasing the wilderness in its thickness. Alexander took in a deep breath of it, bringing up the back of his wrist to wipe the beads of sweat clean from his forehead. With a dry throat, he figured he would take a break soon and find somewhere to pause and think things over. For now, his grey eyes rolled upwards and gazed at the canopy of branches above him. Happily, birds sang and chirped their songs from everywhere in the treetops, the scent in the air was fresh. Everything would fall into place if there was a soft, cooling breeze...
So, he continued to find the perfect resting area. The soft crunch of his footsteps surrounded him. He felt at ease, no reason to throw wary glances over his shoulder. Crouching a bit, Alexander's heart began to flutter just as a large deer began sprinting directly towards him. There was no time to react, just the widening of his eyes and tensing for the impact but the beast swerved right out of his path at the last second. Whipping around, Alexander watched until the deer disappeared within the overgrowth and clutched his chest, letting loose a sigh of relief. Once his heart began to fall back into its normal rhythm, he waited patiently for a few seconds to make sure no more of the animals wanted to trample him before carrying on his way.
The short yet intense interaction surly did make him more careful of his surroundings and who may be lurking by. There had to be a reason that deer was taking off in such a panic, but it could have been the threatening scent of Alexander, himself. Picked up by a wild animal, they always made sure to relocate themselves before anything could happen, but why run towards him? Pinching his eyebrows together, he decided not to worry about it too much. A lot of odd things occurred in the forest, he should know that by now.
A towering tree split the path he was taking into a left and right direction. It had heavy, full branches protruding out of its trunk, providing a dark shade and shelter from the blisteringly hot sun. Approaching it slowly, the boy pressed his back into it and slid down until his rear met the forest floor. With a sharp exhale, he unsheathed his serpent dagger from its brown holster and spun it in his fingers. It caught a small ray of sun and glinted its silver brightly. Alexander was warmed by this. It was the only item he had taken from his childhood home- a dagger, crafted by his father and handed down to him. It served him well and would continue to in the future. Turning the tip of the blade to the dirt, Alexander began to absentmindedly carve his initials into the soil, nibbling on his bottom lip.
The day still had plenty of hours of sunlight, so Alexander figured he would stay out in the woods for awhile, perhaps even catch some prey later on. With this very thought, a small rustling sounded, like someone or something turning over leaves. Perking up once more Alexander spotted a plump field rat, its tiny paws shooting out in front of it as it pelted deeper into the forest, hardly sparing the kelvic a passing glance. Now, Alexander knew something was up. Instead of shifting into his gigantic cat form and hunting down that juicy rat... Curiosity got the best of him. Something was alarming these forest creatures, something he wanted to know about. Climbing to his feet, Alexander was struck with determination as he prowled forth, where both the deer and the rat had come from.
It wasn't long into his new quest that he heard water running as well as... Wind? He had noticed, as he heaved himself over a hill, that the area was much less hot than back in the forest where no breeze dared to show. Eyes rounded with awe, he watched a man by the waterside from a distance. He was settled down, seemingly meditating. A current of strong wind was wrapping itself around the pond and the area surrounding it. Even where Alexander stood, his black hair was ruffled. Who was this man and what.. What was he doing?
Alexander had to find out more.
So, watching every step carefully like his life depended on it, he stalked towards the man whose back faced him. Alexander tapped into his feline side as he crept closer and closer. As he did this, the wind grew more vicious, quickly cooling him off. The closer he approached, the quicker his heart began to beat. With all of this rapid-moving air, he was almost sure that this stranger wouldn't be able to detect him until his boot caught a rock, sending him stumbling forward. Failing to catch his footing, the cat-boy plummeted to the ground with a thud. Now, he was sure this guy would turn around and see him in no time. Alexander mentally cursed at himself for such clumsiness. Curiosity killed the cat, right?
Again, he took a deep breath to fill his lungs before spending all of it on a prolonged annunciation of “yew”. More of the translucent gas passed through his lips to be added to the small whirlwind that was centered on the area. The circular wind widened slowly in diameter with each repetition. Immersed in all the moving air, he meditated on all its characteristics and how he could find those within himself. He could become a force that was known but not seen like the wind. The traces of his influence only visible by those he manipulates. An entity that can provide comfort like a soft breeze, or even destruction with a fierce gale.
There were other, subtler, aspects to the element as well. It was an absent-minded necessity. Critical to life and its continuation. How could he be like that? Was it possible to become so necessary in someone’s life that your absence could utterly ruin them? Was that what it meant to embody Air in day to day affairs? Kynier moved his hands from his knees, bringing them together. He broke the rings he made with his pointer fingers and thumbs to recreate them but linked together like a chain. Then, he rotated his hands just enough to set his remaining fingertips against those of their counterparts. Kynier brought the mudra closer to his heart and spoke “yew” a bit louder. The whirlwind increased in intensity in response as he delved deeper into the meditation.
That was until he heard something impact the grassy ground behind him. Kynier’s eyes popped open and he ceased annunciating “yew”. The air held fast in his lungs while the whirlwind continued around them. Someone or something was close. Keeping a part of his mind focused on the rotating air around them, he stood up with less grace than he normally would have. The weight of the steel plates protected him like a shell but at the expense of normal ease of movement. When he was up, he half turned around to see the source of the noise that had drawn his attention.
A young man was laying on the ground as though he had tripped over something. An elegant dagger with a serpent designed hilt was held in his hand. Kynier’s eyes caught the metal first before shifting over to the man’s gray eyes. Something was strange about the eyes though he couldn’t quite tell from an initial glance. Kynier raised the hand closer to the stranger to rest on the handle of a short sword that hung from his belt in an obvious motion. It was the other hand, the one that the man wouldn’t be able to see, that tightly gripped the handle of the other short sword in preparation for a possible violent encounter.
“It’s not wise to sneak up behind someone with a dagger out,” he said in a low tone to serve as a warning. It was difficult to judge the stranger’s age, but physically he looked well developed. Kynier could tell that he was taller than a typical man and his frame suggested that he was more muscular than the average man that wasn’t in a labor-intensive profession. The mage narrowed his hazel eyes slightly as Djed flowed into them for Auristics. With his Sight open, the stranger’s aura began to emanate from his form. Kynier would sense and feel a reflection of the young man’s emotions.
Also, he saw the strange appendages of the stranger’s aura that indicated that he was an unbonded kelvic. At the sight of that, Kynier exhaled heavily through his nose. “Petching Kelvics,” he muttered under his breath. The hand that the Kelvic could see slid off the handle of his weapon. The surrounding winds died as he allowed his concentration on the res to slip. Kynier took a step or two forward to close the distance between them, before reaching out to offer a hand to help the stranger to his feet. The other hand still tightly gripped the handle of the other sword.
This was why he needed practice, many more days- and then some- of practice. What better way to do that than learn from foolish mistakes? Although he was much better than when he started off, agility and stalking was not exactly an expert skill he possessed just yet. If he did, hunting would come much more easily, much more smoothly which would keep his belly full. That was what he lived off of- fresh kill, fresh meat so why was he even here when he could be catching a meal? He was starting to regret his urge to explore and find out answers. This man was just minding his own business, quite obviously mediating- something which required some peace. But now, the Kelvic had to go and ruin it all.
Danger circulated around Alexander's mind like the wind whipping around the two. As the man climbed to his feet it was obvious he was slightly weighed down with armor which only meant he was well protected from injury. Unlike Alexander, who had nothing more than the clothes on his back. The breath hitched in his throat as he saw one of the stranger's hand move to his sword. Alarm flashed through the kelvic's grey eyes and he stiffened, though, he didn't move. He watched as the stranger's lips parted and words began to tumble out. Suddenly, Alexander was overconscientious about the dagger gripped in his dominant hand. He was quick to thank the Gods he didn't fall on it but now he looked like he was meaning to do harm. Even so, this man had the upper hand so if Alexander wanted to do harm- though, of course, he didn't- his plans would have been soiled the second he made an impact with the ground.
Alexander could hardly hear himself think with the vortex of wind still spinning around them, his black hair ruffled and quite wild now. Still, he managed to open his dry mouth and reply to the man, "I don't mean any harm, I-I just couldn't help but notice that forest creatures were fleeing from this area and then I felt all the wind..." He gave a few hard blinks. He made a slow, deliberate move to slip his serpent dagger back into its holster. Still crouched over on the hard ground, Alexander's eyes flickered around curiously as the wind suddenly dissolved into the stagnant air like before. Now, the sound of the water softly lapping the shore and birds singing in the distance became apparent. This was much more pleasant on his ears but came with a price. The cooling breeze was gone thus the heat was quick to settle back in.
Hesitantly, Alexander extended his own hand and allowed the stranger to help him to his feet, dusting his jeans free of dirt and blades of grass. It was then, skittish grey eyes met much steadier hazel ones and the kelvic cracked a faint, lopsided grin."I'd placed a bet on the fact that anyone in the forest has a high chance of running into me. This place..." He gestured towards the landscape, "Practically my second home, well, my better home, that is. See, I'm a kelvic," He took in a small breath. It seemed as though this stranger already had Alexander figured out, "So.. Maybe its just instinct. My name's Alexander, who are you, might I ask?"
First impressions were important, so maybe a light-hearted conversation would serve him and mask the fumble he had a few chimes ago. Maybe even an invitation? Alexander didn't want to come off too strong but company may not be so bad today, "You know, I was headed towards some caverns, you are welcomed to come. I heard there are some pretty interesting sights to see," He pointed towards the general location and fell into silence, not wanting to pressure the stranger or bombard them.
The Kelvic’s aura had flared with nervousness, as well as a hint of relief for something. The silver eyes flicked to the dagger in his own hand once. Seeing the young man slowly and carefully sheath his intricate dagger eased some of Kynier’s tension. As the mage studied the aura of the Kelvic, he failed to sense any signs of possible hostility. No festering anger had laced the words of how he had stumbled across this area. Kynier did give the clearing a quick glance. He hadn’t suspected on seeing anyone out here, and a bit of a more advanced usage of Reimancy and meditation felt safe to get away with. In the future, he would be more cautious.
"Yes, caverns. They're not far from here at all, actually. I'd say a couple chimes if we maintain a respectable pace." Alexander eyed the map curiously, taking in a soft breath, "I don't believe a lot of people know about them." What could Kynier possibly be searching for? Who was he? Alexander felt almost guilty for not being as intriguing; he was simply a Kelvic living by himself, no more no less. He didn't have any knowledge of magic or unique skills but was- of course- happy to learn. Still, it seemed as though Kynier already had the young kelvic figured out...
Alexander was relieved that Kynier accepted his invitation rather than sending him the other way. Tension no longer crackled and popped in the air and all weapons seemed to either be sheathed or left by their lonesome. The kelvic was excited to explore, not only that, but he had someone new to get to know. The more Alexander got to know someone, the more he grew bored of them. He liked enthusiastic and spontaneous friends to surround himself with. He craved an unpredictable, eager life and at Sunberth- especially seeing as he lived in tent city- that wasn't exactly easy to access. In fact, it was difficult... Difficult and risky. That was why he decided to save his questions for when simple conversation grew dull, the first one to spill from his mouth would certainly be about the wind and what secrets that held. Alexander could hardly contain himself.
"My interest?" Echoed the boy, "Well... I'm not sure, I guess its a lot better than looking at the same landscape every single day. Out here its.. Tree... Tree.. Another tree. Oh look, another one. But there? Who knows how big those caves are? Who knows what there is to find?" He pondered over the following questions, "Yes, I found them myself. I'm out here quite a lot, as I'm sure you have already inferred. You are the first person I have told about them, let alone offered a trip to, so consider yourself lucky." A grin indicated that the kelvic was only poking fun as they began their stroll.
It had made Alexander weary when Kynier trailed behind him. It only made sense, though. If he took his eyes off of this stranger, he was vulnerable and susceptible to an attack. He doubted that the gentleman would try anything but Alexander knew he could never be too careful. Once they were side-by-side he relaxed and decided to enjoy the walk, away from the water and into some more patchy forestry. The human had been right, the caverns and caves would provide an excellent escape from the blazing heat. This seemed more than a relief now that sweat gathered in a band on Alex's forehead.
Grass and leaves crunched softly underneath the young man's shoes and suddenly, he craned his neck, "They're right over there." Quickening his pace, he made his way out of the tree line and gestured towards a clutter of the promised geographic structures. "Most of the entrances I have tried are dead ends but there is one I have been wanting to try. My advice to you is keep your eyes peeled, there are a lot of steep drop offs and holes." Knowing Kynier would make his own decision whether to explore alone or with the company of the black panther, the boy took off towards a far cavern.
Peeking into a gap wide enough to crouch through, a waft of cold air brushed against Alexander's pale face. It beckoned him further where he slid in between the gap of two cold stones. A large cavity was presented at first, having many smaller tunnels and pathways connected to it. Funnels of dust-covered rocks hung from the ceiling like icicles. There was damp, heavy sent in the air and the sound of something dripping and splashing into a puddle somewhere deeper within the cavern. "Well, here goes nothing." Alexander's voice sounded hollow as it bounced off of the walls- eerie... eerie and exciting.
It seemed a bit fortuitous for the caverns to only be a few chimes away. Whether it was good luck, or not, Kynier wasn’t going to complain. The only thing that was strange was that the Kelvic had intended to explore the caverns on his own. Alexander’s curiosity obviously exceeded the caution Kynier would’ve demonstrated. Although, it was possible that the Kelvic had no one that he could ask to join him before now. The Kelvic race in general seemed kind-hearted, a few were a bit rougher around the edges than some. And the mage didn’t intend to leave the young man to explore on his own. Besides, he was also intrigued by what may lie in the caverns.
Kynier held his hands behind his back, under his cloak, as they walked. “Normally, I don’t have good luck, Alexander. So, I hope that my presence doesn’t end up making things worse for you.” Kynier’s gaze started roaming. He looked over the trees and their branches. The vibrant greens and browns moved his spirit each time the wind gently rattled them. Syna basked them with warmth and light, light that trickled through the leaves in a magnificent way. Alexander may find the repetitious view a bit dull, but Kynier found it rather soothing. He took as deep of an inhale through his nose as he could, closing his eyes and focusing on the smell.
The warmth was musky, but the smell of live wood was also noticeable. “Ah,” he said as he exhaled. “The air smells so fresh out here. Not vile like the smoldering haze of garbage outside the city that wafts through every building and window.” Kynier could understand part of why Vasin would want to explore the wilderness now. It was more peaceful than most places Kynier had been. The enjoyment was cut short, unfortunately, when Alexander started bounding for something just beyond the trees. Kynier saw the opening the Kelvic had been talking about.
Hazel eyes adjusted to the darkness of the cavern in thanks to his Nightstalker abilities. But some regions were too dark even for his divine blessed sight to penetrate.
As Alexander made his way to the one cavern that he spoke of, Kynier unslung his pack from his shoulder and reached inside His hand felt the chill of the endless void within his magic pack. Thoughts concentrated on the hooded lamp and it materialized in his possession. It would only appear as though he pulled it out of the pack. Kynier placed it on the ground and pantomimed lighting a spark to ignite the flame. In truth, he produced a bit of res on his fingertips and set it ablaze. With it, he set fire to the lamp’s fuel, and a light emanated from the lamp.
Kynier stood up and followed after the Kelvic. Apart from the echoing struggles of the Kelvic moving through the open space, the faint echo of dripping water rang in the air. Kynier tried holding the lamp in a way that would help Alexander see as he waded through the opening. After a moment, Kynier squatted down and started shifting through as well. Thankfully, the passage didn’t narrow enough to make it uncomfortable to squeeze through. But as he was going through, he noticed a strange substance on the ground. It appeared solid but malleable, and the light reflected slightly off its surface from the moisture on it.
It gave off an unpleasant smell, like feces. Kynier had never seen feces like that before. “Something lives in this cave,” he whispered loudly to the Kelvic ahead of him. It wasn’t enough to make him turn back, but Kynier was now more observant and a bit on edge. At the end of the passage, it opened up a bit. Kynier held the lamp up, casting shadows throughout the cavern. They danced over the walls and ceiling of the place, creating interesting shapes from the stalactites hanging down. Kynier noticed the possible directions that they could take within the tunnels. While he had no real plan of direction, he thought it best to follow the sound of the water.
"What do I have to lose? A tent in a sea of tents? If these caverns or any other landmark of the great outdoors is what claims my life then so be it," Alexander stated confidently. He didn't have anyone to tell, either way. This was the first time he ever had someone with him as he climbed and squeezed through the tight, stone walls of the cave. The lantern helped tremendously, even if Alex's eyes adjusted well to the darkness seeing as they held feline genes. He, too, smelled the scat of something living within this area. Bats and rats were common but he never expected anything big and ferocious. He doubted anything serious would become of that.
He took out his serpent dagger, holding close just as Kynier had suggested, "I think we'll be fine, unless your bad luck does get the best of us. I don't necessarily have good luck but sometimes things go my way. We'll just have to wait and see. Also, watch out for the stone funnels above your head. The looser ones could break free at a sudden noise or movement, right on your head. I had one narrowly miss my shoulder because I sneezed. Now that I say that out loud, maybe I do have some luck on my side..."
The moving shadows casted onto the walls told the story of two strangers coming together to explore the unknown. A lopsided smile spread across the kelvic's face, gesturing towards them, "Neat, huh?" The shadows stretched from the ground to the top, much larger than the people it was made from. It followed them as they continued, until Alexander paused at a fork. Both pathways were narrow, but not uncomfortable. He hummed as he made a decision before turning right. There was no particular reason why he decided this, just a hunch. "Putrid purple pedals, huh? I'll keep my eyes peeled," He mumbled, giving a small, amused chuckle, "What do you need them for? Is it some healing remedy? Some poisonous concoction?" He was curious, though, unsure if Kynier would give him a straight answer.
The deeper they traveled the colder and wetter it got. A small stream trickled alongside them and the scent of feces returned. "You're right... Something is living in here..." By his foot he spotted the scat, "Looks fresh to me..." A sudden wave of uncertainly washed over him,"I don't know... Something in my gut is telling me-" He abruptly paused mid sentence to point in front of them, "That has to be it! The plant!" He lead Kynier to the location where the outline of vegetation resided. As they grew closer, as well as the light source, it was quickly discovered that the purple-pedaled flower was no where to be found. Instead, a pile of bones.
With a disturbed look on his face, Alexander took a few steps back and sent a questioning glance over at his companion, "I-I... Um, I don't think we are safe in here. I think we should leave."
He went to turn around and retrace their steps but a noise boomed against the walls, rattling the stone above them. It sent chills down Alexander spine as he saw a figure carve itself out from the darkness and prowl forward with a bowed head. Its growl continued to fill the area and the only thing the boy had was his measly dagger. The creature stepped into the light, revealing itself as a dire wolf with bloody foam trickling from its maw. Alexander was tempted to shift into his black jaguar form but didn't have time to discard his clothing. All of a sudden, it lunged for the two. Alexander stumbled back, pointing his blade at the animal. Though, something felt off about the ground he now stood on... Something felt weaker.
All of a sudden, the floor itself began to crumble. The wolf had driven them to stand directly over a cavity which swallowed them whole. Alexander tumbled, hitting a few blunt rocks on his way down. The stone funnels he had warned Kynier about previously came crashing down as well.
With a jarring thud, he hit the bottom, instantly dazed. His chest felt as if it had been crushed and for a moment, he couldn't take in a solid breath. His abdomen burned viciously as he attempted to move his limbs- to no avail. He laid their for a moment senselessly. The only thing which brought him out of the haze was the sound of the wolf whimpering. This shot adrenaline through the kelvic's veins and he quickly sat up, eyes adjusting to the black abyss he was trapped in. The wolf was on its side, a sharp rock protruding from the ground had pierced through it, pinning it to the cool ground. Its limbs scrambled wildly to free itself but it was hopeless. It caught sight of Alexander and defensively snapped its jaw. Quickly, Alexander scooted away, as far as he could. He let out a breath and cringed at the pain in his right leg- something wasn't right but he would deal with that later. All of a sudden, he remembered the person he had came with. He was unsure of the man had fell with them or had time to escape the collapse.
"Oh Gods, Kynier? Where are you?" Wheezed the jaguar.
As they moved through the cavern, Alexander took a moment to admire the shadows. It caused Kynier to pause. It hadn’t been a full year since he learned that shadows were sentient beings. Had that knowledge deprived him of simple amusements like the one Alexander just had? Perhaps, but they also were able to provide him with stories to pass the time. While he would’ve liked to have enjoyed the dance of shadows upon the rock walls, his nerves were on edge. Knowing that something lived in the caves made him focus more on having his Nightstalker vision penetrate those shadows for the things they tend to hide.
There was no pause nor second guessing of Alexander’s decision to take the right-hand passage. Whatever reasons Kynier could muster about taking the other direction were likely the same ones that the Kelvic had used to choose their current path. “I suspect that it’s poisonous. Or could become poisonous if combined with a few other things. It’s not really an art that I have an interest in learning.” As he spoke, a taste settled on his tongue. A rather unpleasant one at that. The foul smell of feces had returned, but was pungent enough to affect his other sense too. Wherever they were going, they were likely to be encroaching on something’s territory. Kynier held the cold iron blade up a little higher to be on guard.
When Alexander proclaimed seeing the plant that the mage had come for, Kynier followed behind closely, holding the lantern up higher. Instead of the foul plant, or any plant, a pile of bones had been collected in the cave. Kynier stepped closer to stand next to Alexander, eyes transfixed on the remains. They were all bearing marks of having been chewed. No tissue or anything remained on the bones, while a few of them had rounded ends from being gnawed repeatedly. The Kelvic’s nervousness was apparent in his voice, and Kynier was in agreement. But before he could turn around, a menacing low bark echoed through the cave.
Turning towards the source, Kynier saw the dire wolf in a low stance with its teeth bared and throat rumbling in a continuous growl. The creature was large and a bit gaunt. Evidence of terrible battles marred its face and fur. This creature was a survivor, that much could not be questioned. Holding his weapon before him, he took a step to the side and away from the Kelvic. If they could surround the wolf then they could just injure it enough to drive it away. But before words could be exchanged, the beast cae at them. Kynier twisted and dove to the side, rolling over his shoulder and back onto his feet as rocks pressed against his back along the way.
Before he stood there was a series of loud cracks as well as a combination of whimpers and cries. When Kynier turned and held up the lantern, there was a gaping hole in the ground that hadn’t been there before, and the clinks of small rocks falling on larger rocks were still ringing in the air. “Alexander,” he muttered worriedly under his breath as he approached the hole. “Alexander?” he called down into cavernous maw. The drop was not a short one, and the way down was a bit treacherous with blunt and sharp rocks guiding the way. The echoes of whimpers and snapping teeth came from below, as well as a call from the Kelvic.
Kynier ccold cavernous air. His mind delved to that place deep within himself to touch his arcane power. Pulling it to the surface of his body, a warmth infused his skin as it permeated res into a thick fog before him. Condensed res with a purple tint drifted down into the hole by direction of his will. Kynier tasked it to collect the surrounding air in order to thicken it. His mind felt the connection to the res change as the light began to bend a bit when trying to shine down below.
Kynier stepped out and onto the purple tinted fog. It felt like stepping in mud, but without the wet sloshing sounds. The air suspended his weight as he willed it to descend into the caverns below. Kynier had to take quick inhales and long exhales to continue fueling res to sustain the cloud he stood on. Carefully avoiding the sharp protrusions and large boulders, the mage descended over twenty feet down before he could see the Kelvic on the ground. Slowly he drifted down until he was about six feet from the floor. At that time, he released the hold he had on the res, and the cloud thinned. The mage fell through the purple tinted air to land in a squat to absorb the impact.
Quickly, he assessed the situation. Alexander was on the ground and appeared to be in pain, while the dire wolf was also down here, but had been pierced by a sharp pillar of rock. Kynier stepped towards the canine and raised his hold iron blade. The creature was likely dead already, but there was no need for it to suffer. As it snapped its teeth at him and pawed at his feet, Kynier sunk the cold iron deep in it throat. A soft whimper was stifled when the hilt sank into the fur. Kynier saw the fear in the beast’s eyes for a moment before that spark of life waned to darkness. When the head sank to the ground he pulled his blade free and flicked it once to toss the blood off it.
Then, he went over to Alexander’s side. “Are you alright?” he asked despite knowing the answer was likely a “no”.
This had never happened to Alexander in his many times of coming to the caverns and exploring around in their mysterious pathways and tunnels. He never once thought that some enormous predator animal would have beaten him to this one and set up camp. He couldn't imagine the deranged canine slipping through such a small enterance he and Kynier had entered through... There must have been some other way.
And for a split second this caused fear to flare up in his chest, clutching his racing heart. What if there were more wolves waiting somewhere within this cave? What if there were more that would trap him in this pit forever? In his animal form, he was a sleek, black jaguar. He was tough and incredibly strong but no match for a pack of dire wolves. He would be shredded into a million pieces. If he could even claw his way out of the hole which already seemed unlikely.
For a few ticks there was silence, often shattered by the twitching of the impaled wolf as it scrapped its long nails against the stone floor. It was on its last stages of life and even being across the pit from him, Alexander still couldn't help but feel horrified as he gazed upon its dying eyes. He half expected it to jump right off of the sharp rocks it had landed on and come after him again.
A voice echoed from above and Alexander's grey eyes rounded. He lifted his chin up to stare out of the mouth of the pit and waited for his feline eyes to adjust. There, he did spot a figure peering into the open jaws of darkness where Alexander resided. They were calling his name and the jaguar boy knew it was none other than Kynier. A wave of relief washed over the injured boy. He brought a trembling hand up to his forehead and wiped it free of dust, "I-I'm... Well, define alright," He called sarcastically, "I'm guessing you're okay, yourself. Thank Gods you didn't tumble down here with me."
It amazed Alexander, now that he knew Kynier avoided the sinkhole, that he didn't just leave. After all, the kelvic knew this was all his fault. He had dragged this man to the caverns in a promise of an adventure but instead... They were attacked by some blood-craving canine. The fact that Kynier still stuck around to somehow help the kelvic out of the pit made Alexander feel much better. He was already rehearsing a great, long apology in his head.
Kynier didn't have to tell Alexander twice- the kelvic was sure he would make no effects to move around knowing that the dire wolf still clung onto a sliver of life. "Hey, don't kill yourself trying to get down here. Maybe just find a limb or-"
Alexander watched in awe as Kynier performed his magic once again. Down... Down... He floated towards the bottom of the hole. "Oh," Alex mumbled. It made the kelvic quickly realize he actually had no idea who this man was or what he was capable of.
The raven-haired boy opened his mouth to warn Kynier about the wolf but it seemed as though he was already on the case. With a swiftness, he ended the animals suffering with his blade. Alexander hoped that he wouldn't endure the same fate seeing as he had a lame leg but if Kynier had made the effort to come all the way down in this hole, it was doubtful he would pull anything like that.
"My leg, I'm not sure what's wrong with it but it hurts to move it. I don't know how I'm going to be able to get out of here unless..." Alexander gave a few blinks, "Unless you have another magical trick up your sleeve." |

en | N/A | N/A | Great content and excellent website design may guarantee visitors but cannot assure them to become your customers. The ratio of visitors to customers is a vital metric any website must attain. In this regard, the user-friendliness of the website plays a crucial role in the conversion. To achieve your business goals, one of the significant factors that you must rely on is the ease of website usage and the user-friendly nature of your website.
While we talk about this, many close the conversation as they feel it involves many technical aspects. While that is partly true, we have made it easy for you to understand the factors and make your website give a memorable experience to your customers. Thereby increasing your revenue margin as well.
The accessibility of the website must be straightforward irrespective of the knowledge base of the visitor. Be it a visually impaired visitor or a person with limited online knowledge.
Is it necessary to make the website user-friendly?
Of course must make it conducive for usage by people. It would allow the online gazers to reach, learn and become a visitor to a prospect in a later stage as well. It is not easy to make a person donate or sign up for a product or a service without having easy check-out options on your website. More importantly, the complex signup processes will frustrate the people too.
Clear Structure: This is t-site. A visitor does not land them self on a web page. They might move on to other pages as well. In such cases, it must be easy for them to do so without any guesswork. The structure and navigational columns with names must be pretty simple and easy to access. Do not keep any jargon as navigation names may bring up many frowns from the customer base. Organize the website logically and make it straightforward.
Responsive Website: Develop a web-site design that is compatible with any device and most web browsers. The screen size must also be taken into account while creating a responsive website. As you very well know that people may reach your website through any means. Do you want to miss someone if they go through their mobile browser?
Consistency Is the Key: This is vital for your website to build credibility. Be it the design or the content, let it be consistent throughout. Hold a theme for your website based on the business you do. Create web pages that proclaim the business principles or the product or the service. Use text headings, bullet points, paragraphs to make the text content clear. Ensure you offer the vital information first up and other information in the later pages.
Call to Action: This must not only be available but should be available with a compelling note. Don’t keep an unnecessary signup form if it is not required. At the same time, if you need one for enquiring about your product or service, make it simple for them. Most importantly, follow up on the inquiry within the timeline.
Be it the Contact us page or the About Us information; it must have utmost clarity. Remember, clarity is power. Do not leave the customer search for information. Even if they do so, give them additional elements to find what they want.
Accessibility of your website ensures more customer conversion and thereby enhancement in your business. Improve your customer conversion rate by Hiring and improve your online presence.

en | N/A | N/A | I agree with Mr. Terry Wood’s “More inaction in Congress” Guest Viewpoint on March 29 that Congress often moves far too slowly to provide relief for small businesses. As a lifelong businessman, I know all too well and personally how frustrating it can be dealing with government rules and regulations, especially in New York state.
Mr. Wood’s idea to let drivers between the ages of 18 and 20 obtain an interstate CDL license makes good sense. That’s because in the all of the lower 48 states, you can get a CDL to drive within your own state at age 18, or even 16. But a decades-old federal regulation requires drivers to be 21 to drive tractor-trailers commercially across state lines.
That rule doesn’t have any apparent safety benefit, because if you can drive from Long Island to Buffalo, you should be able to drive from Binghamton to Scranton. It also dissuades young people from getting into the trucking industry because they are locked out of certain routes just because they haven’t yet turned 21.
I am actively working with national trucking organizations and policy experts in Washington on the best way to let commercial drivers operate across state lines at younger ages while still upholding sound safety standards. While I often wish laws and rules could be changed in a matter of days or weeks, the truth is achieving a positive result can take longer because of the need to hold hearings, draft legislation and forge compromise between political parties and the House, Senate and White House.
But we know it can be done. That’s because I successfully suspended another silly rule that hampered the trucking industry by nonsensically dictating what specific hours drivers could be on the road. We wrote a bill, held multiple hearings, built support for our cause, and a little more than a year later, we won. It was hard work, but it was worth it because it provided real relief to small businesses and consumers here in the Southern Tier and throughout the nation.
I’m looking forward to using the highway bill due in May as an opportunity to similarly reform interstate CDL licensing. Nothing is easy in Congress these days, but my office has a great record of success delivering tangible solutions for upstate New York. Many in Washington don’t get much or anything done, but we do, and we’ll keep working hard to deliver the results that our community deserves.

With specific regard to the downgrading of Benbecula Airport, the view from the professional community is that the number of airlines prepared to tender for the PSO air route between Benbecula and Stornoway would be limited if Benbecula was designated as an Air Flight Information Service.
In terms of any economic arguments advanced by HIAL, there is a Report by Copenhagen Economic (26 March 2019), which argues that remote towers do not save money when the airport is not competitive. The key findings can be summarised as follows: “competition is needed to guarantee that cost savings from remote towers benefit the airports and not the providers of air traffic control; competition can generate cost savings that remote towers cannot generate; remote towers are unlikely to achieve savings of the same magnitude as competition; the case for remote towers seems to be exaggerated because required investments in remote towers are underestimated while foregone investments in conventional towers are overestimated; and the risk and associated costs of cyber and physical attacks on centralised remote towers seems to be underestimated”.Comhairle and other stakeholders is firmly opposed to these proposals of centralizing Air Traffic Control and the downgrading of Benbecula Airportour Islands’ communities and economies.”
The results of an updated survey of ATC staff is expected soon.

The cover story of the Puget Sound Business Journal highlights the evolution of downtown Seattle as it becomes a true 18-hour city.
At this year’s event, themed “Reshaping Urban Places and Spaces,” DSA president and CEO Jon Scholes shared the latest data on Downtown’s economic health and examined the emerging trends shaping Downtown. The research, which looks at key economic metrics over time, is conducted and analyzed by a dedicated DSA research team.
In his keynote address, Scholes said that Downtown Seattle is experiencing an “urban renaissance,” adding more than 30,000 jobs since 2010, boasting 48 active construction projects and seeing residential growth that’s outpacing the city and region. One in 10 Seattleites now lives in Downtown. Downtown has also seen a 30 percent increase in spending on the arts, sports, entertainment and food/beverage over a five-year period.
“Today, we face new challenges and opportunities. The pressures we face today in Downtown . “We can’t put this vibrancy on auto pilot. We’. We’re welcoming new customers, visitors, workers and residents who come with new expectations for great urban experiences, places and spaces.
A panel of Seattle-area business leaders, including Liz Dunn, Ben Franz-Knight and Liz Muller, who represented Dunn + Hobbs, the Pike Place Market PDA and Starbucks, respectively, shared highlights of transformative projects they are undertaking and their visions for the future of Downtown.
The highlighted area on the development map produced by the Downtown Seattle Association is an emerging neighborhood that Dean Jones calls the "East Village," where many residential towers are planned.
Jones recognizes that developers have demonstrated a strong preference for building apartments but he believes that will shift in 2016 with a new cycle of high-rise condominiums. Zillow reports that the Seattle area benefits from a short “breakeven horizon” due to low interest rates, high rents and rising home prices. </s> Flossing is a historical corset embellishment method that brings extra character to your corset.

John Lwakawu’s Story
John has been in the ROTOM program for 12 years. He lives alone in his small house in the village of Lwanyonyi. John had three children; a pair of twins who passed in their early age and another who was taken away by the mother after they separated. John has no contact with his family because they all moved to different communities and others have passed.
Traditionally in John’s culture, when you have a daughter and she marries off, you would receive a “Kanzu” from the groom’s family. Unfortunately, John has no daughter and he says he didn’t have any hope of receiving such a piece of clothing. In his own words, John says;

Early life and work in Rojava[edit]
Khalaf was born on 15 November 1984 in Al-Malikiyah.[2] She is a descendant of the Hawar (Arabic: هاوار) family.[3] Khalaf from an early life was exposed to political movements and thinkers struggle and joined the people assemblies with Abdullah Öcalan.[4] Öcalan being one of the founding members of the Kurdish Workers Party or (PKK) would have had a great influence on her family.
She graduated from University of Aleppo in 2009 as a civil engineer.[5][2] Soon after graduating she returned to her home town in Derik. When Revolution of Rojava began Koon after Khalaf began managing one of the Economic Councils.[6] Khalaf had risen to prominence in the self-governing Kurdish area of Rojava in northeast Syria.[7] .[2]

Death and media reaction[edit]
The Daily Telegraph reported that "Kurdish officials said rebel fighters intercepted a car carrying Hevrin Khalaf".[11] Khalaf was one of arst days of the Turkish-backed military operatio"".[12] The National Army, a rebel group fighting alongside Turkey, denied responsibility for the killing. Hevrîn Xelef's death was one of many during Operation Peace Spring which began on October 9, 2019.[11]
According to her autopsy report she was beaten over her head and left leg with a solid object. This led to multiple bone fractures in the leg. There was then use of sharp objects on the back of her legs. Furthermore, Hevrîn was dragged by her hair which cause it to tear off along with bits of flesh. She was then shot in the head once and four more times in her chest.[13].[14] Future Syria Party released a statement saying that[14] Khalaf was 34 at the time of her death.[9] [15]
A Bellingcat video traces the killing to rebels backed by Turkey.[16] Bellingcat reports .[16]figure face down that is suspected by most to be Hevrîn with a Turkish backed soldier standing over her. Then he taps her [17]
According to The Washington Post, [18] While Turkish-backed groups deny any and all allegations however, may videos have been leaked, similar to the one potentially showing Hevrîn, showing these groups committing these crimes. Furthermore, many groups were instructed on an encrypted chat site called 'Telegram' to[13] This is only more proof that killings like Hevrîn were expected and not stopped.[19]

en | N/A | N/A | Characterization of the macrophages associated with the tunica vasculosa lentis of the rat eye
Paul G. McMenamin, Jenny Djano, Rosamund Wealthall, Brendan J. Griffin
PURPOSE. The tunica vasculosa lentis (TVL) is a transient vascular network surrounding the developing lens that regresses prenatally in humans and postnatally in rodents. Macrophage-like cells, sometimes referred to as hyalocytes, have been postulated to play a role in the regression of this vascular system; however, the precise identity of these cells is phenotypic data on these cells in combination with their three-dimensional distribution on the lens surface during the period when regression of the TVL is taking place. To this end the authors have used a novel combination of silver-enhanced immunogold labelMETHODS. The eyes of Wistar rats at various pre- and postnatal ages (E20, postnatal days [D]0, 2, 5, 7, and 10) were studied by either conventional scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or ESEM. The latter was used to study specimens that had been incubated with various antileukocyte monoclonal antibodies (ED1, ED2, Ox6, Ox42), followed by immunolabeling with gold-conjugated secondary antibody visualized by silver enhancement. RESULTS. Conventional SEM of the developing lens revealed a pattern of radial and interconnecting vessels in the TVL similar to previous studies. In addition, large numbers of cells with the morphologic characteristics of macrophages were noted on the lens surface closely associated with the vessels. The gradual attenuation and regression of vessels was noted over the course of the time period investigated. Immunolabeled specimens examined by ESEM revealed that most of the macrophage-like cells were indeed ED1+ and ED2+ (both pan-macrophage markers) and MHC class II- (Ox6) and CD11b/18- (Ox42): a phenotype characteristic of macrophages. This phenotype altered little between E20 and D10. that are postulated to play a role in regression of the TVL have the resident tissue macrophages similar to those previously identified in the adult rodent uveal tract and the vitreous (hyalocytes). This phenotype differs from that of dendritic cells and microglia; however, it is postulated that lens-associated macrophages are ideally located to act as a source of retinal microglia after completion of their role in TVL regression.

Here’s more Hartig:
Hahaha I was ORDERED to never speak of him again, so I’m obeying that order.
But doesn’t Rodolfo always do that in this production? At least I seem to remember it from the last time I saw it, with Calleja and Stoyanova. Those two, by the way, when they sang together, seemed to “breathe” as one…
I’ve found several variations on the Grigolo curtain call.
Here’s one, where he coyly tells the crowd to shush:
And this one from La Scala, which is closest to what I saw last night. Skip to 3:19:
Oops here’s the La Scala one:
The Met has currently posted both Calleja and Vittorio Grigolo’s versions of “Che gelida manina” online:
But really, let’s have a “Che gelida manina” face-off from the most prominent Rodolfo’s singing the role today:
Beczala:
I think it used to be called love at first sight.
I have a feeling the whole thing will play beautifully on HD. And since it’s a Sony artist, let’s hope it makes it to DVD as well.
Has this production ever been released on DVD? I know the old Zeff production was, at least twice.
You’re right -- I was thinking the production before this one was also Zeff -- my mistake!
Then Zeffirelli’s production debuted. The first DVD of the Zeffirelli was from 1981 or 1982 and it starred Jose Carreras and Teresa Stratas.
Ivy -- not sure if you are being serious or facetious -- according to the archives there have been at least 4!
Well for whatever reason I believe Zeffirelli advertises his production as the second in company history, I do know that a production was borrowed from Chicago.
:lol: “Old man yells at cloud…”
Ivy, there was
1. The Met’s “original” production which premiered on tour in Los Angeles in 1900 with Melba as Mimi. This production was used, with some touching up here and there, through 1951.
3. A year later, March 1977, a production designed by Pier Luigi Pizzi was borrowed from Chicago. This is the production seen on the first “Live from the Met” telecast. This production played into the following season, after which time Boheme left the repertoire for four years.
4. The current Franco Zeffirelli production premiered December 14, 1981, i.e., 32 seasons ago.
Thanks La C. For some reason I always thought Zeff’s production was the second in Met history. Oh well.
Reading this description of Hartig reminds me of hearing Hei Kyung Hong sing Mimi at the Met back nearly 30 years ago. She also had a small voice with a rapid vibrato. In those days before her voice had fully matured her upper range reminded of nothing so much as Snow White in that Disney movie. But holy cow, could that woman put across a Mimi! I kept going back, just to hear her sing Donde Lieta, and everytime it seemed as though time stopped when she sang “se vuoi serbarla a ricordo d’amor”.
The expression “The performance was more beautiful than the sum of its parts” is very well-suited to describe what Hong did with the part. </s> There are several reasons to use a freight broker, perhaps you have purchased an item across the country or need to get an item (s) shipped to your customer and get it done. Whatever the reason may be, this guide has been put together to help you select a high quality freight brokerage company.
As of October 1st, 2013 Frhave in place either a BMC-84 or BMC-85 freight broker bond in the amount of $75,000 U.S Dollars in order to maintain an active operating authority. The BMC-84 is a surety bond provided by an insurance company who is willing to guarantee the 75K in case the broker defaults on payments. T in order to get this insurance in place. The BMC-85 removes the insurance company and is put in place by the broker themselves or a bank by putting $75,000 into a trust fund. The main benefit to a trucking company is that they have a bit more of a guarantee that they will get paid and that a less reputable broker isn’t going to take the money from the customer and run without paying the trucker. The benefit to the shipper is very similar in the idea that they don’t have to fear that after they pay the broker the trucking company is going to come after them later if the broker takes off. This has helped reduce the amount of fraud in the industry as the broker now has to be financially stable before they even |

So what is China's "nuclear option" all about?
Protective tariffs against China are not likely to change our trade imbalance, because we're no longer a manufacturing economy in the first place. What if China were to revalue renminbi by about 40%, or we were to add a 27.5% tariff to Chinese imports, as provided in legislation by Senators Schumer and Graham?
Why does China have so many dollars locked up in unproductive investments, and so much internal inflation?
This policy is the instrument by which China's regime controls investments by the Chinese people, which is why they will strongly resist changing it. But what would happen if they did?What if it were possible for Chinese export businesses to retain the dollars they earn, and re-invest them directly in the United States? |

en | N/A | N/A | “Freedom as Supreme Value: The Ethics of Sartre and de Beauvoir0 (1976): 60–71.
To speak of existentialist ethics as an ethics of freedom raises a number of difficulties. In fact, Sartre has not written the work on ethics which he promised at the end of Being and Nothingness. Further, some object to the very possibility of an existentialist ethics based on Sartre’s ontology. Sartre’s views of man and of the nature of value would seem to provide no foundation for the development of an ethics.
(2) Man wants such justification and wants it especially to be freely given by men who are able truly to appreciate his life; he wants to be valued by his equals.
Sartre and de Beauvoir are willing at times to condone even the suppression of freedom of the innocent in order to enhance the freedom of the majority…. even actions they generally condemn are considered to be justified in particular circumstances if they lead to greater freedom for the greater number. In the final analysis their support of Marxism, and more recently of the Third World nations, is based upon their conviction that these are at present humanity’s best hope for achieving the general liberation of mankind, a liberation which they believe will ultimately come about only in a communistic classless society. |

Let's support a kid that gives us a chance to win every night, and leaves it all on the ice even if we don't get one for the "W" column. Hell, let's write in Landy, Jones, and both our goalies too!

Many times college prospects are over looked or overshadowed by talent from bigger schools, character issues, inuries incurred, or just a lack of elite athleticism. In this series we'll use the title to recognize a few of those college football players who may be a little less known, but have talent that we can look at and evaluate for ourselves. And maybe, just maybe, we will see some of these players on our Practice Squad this fall..
Quanterus Smith was recruited by then Defensive Line coach Eric Mathies, was the only coach from a Sun Belt Conference school to make the list of top 10 recruiters from non-BCS Automatic Qualifying schools. Smith showed up at WKU weighing just 220 lbs under head coach Willie Taggart's Hilltopers, and started his career in 2010 at the linebacker position where he made 29 tkls, 18 ass'ts, for a total of 47 tkls, 4 sacks, 2 passes defensed and 1 fumble recovery. Simth continued playing at the LB position through the 2011 season where he amassed 38 total tkls with 18 ass'ts, and 7.5 sacks.
The 2012 season would bring a change for Quanterus Smith...
When Quanterus showed up for spring practice he pretty much knew that his senior season would hold some new and exciting times, especially coming off of his 7.5 sack junior season. Defensive Coordinator Lance Gyudry's playbook would remain the same as last year, but coach taggart had something different in mind for the once lanky 6'5 220 lb junior. He would gain weight to play defensive end, where his pass rushing skills would benefit the most. Smith was suspended for the opening game against Austin Peay for violation of team rules, but that wouldn't stop the senior from having a stellar year.
Shattered dreams doth lay across the field of battle...
The NFL loves pass rushers and, as former Sun Belt Conference star DeMarcus Ware has proven since emerging as one of the league's elite outside linebackers with the Dallas Cowboys, they're willing to go to the so-called lesser conferences to find them. What Smith lacks in name recognition he certainly doesn't lack in game. Just ask the University of Alabama, which gave up three sacks to the 2012 Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year in the 2012 season opener. The long-armed collegiate defensive end victimized the Tide's talented tackle duo of Cyrus Kouandjio and D.J. Fluker with speed, agility and an impressive array of rip and arm-over swim moves, just as he did numerous other victims on his way toward leading the country with 12.5 tackles (along with 18.5 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles) when his senior season was cut short by a torn ACL suffered Nov. 17 against Louisiana-Lafayette. While the injury will obviously harm his draft stock, Smith's success (24 career sacks) hasn't gone unnoticed by scouts. While perhaps not yet strong enough to handle being consistently run at, teams operating out of the 4-3 and 3-4 schemes each are surely intrigued by Smith's length, speed off the edge and improvement.
Strengths: Possesses good strength at this time and the lanky frame to add more mass without a significant loss of quickness. Shows impressive burst off the snap to get the tackle on his heels, as well as the flexibility to dip under his opponent's reach and the lateral agility to counter back inside. Uses his hands well, showing a classic arm-over swim move, as well as a hard chop to break free from tackles latching onto his jersey.
Good lateral agility to slip blocks at the edge and shows good overall athleticism, speed and hustle in pursuit. Plays with good leverage to hold up better than expected in the running game. Has improved each year of his career.
Weaknesses: While the performance against Alabama was impressive, much of his production came against lower-level competition, including an eye-popping five sacks against Florida International. Relies on his agility and leverage to hold up against the run but is too often pushed off the line and/or sealed off from the action, which could necessitate a move to outside linebacker in the NFL, a position he has never played.
Suffered a torn ACL to his left knee on Nov. 17 and underwent surgery shortly after the end of WKU's regular season, making his ability to handle the position change all the more questionable.
The prospect will be 24 years old on November 26, 2013. He was unable to workout and the only measuements we have are his height - 6'4 5/8" 248 lb, 10 3/8" hands, 33 1/4" arms. What ever happens with this young man, I wish him the best and you never know where a Demarcus Ware lurks in the shadows...

en | N/A | N/A | As a country where many multinational companies choose to locate their regional offices and a nation where many expats invest in real estate, the UAE has emerged as a hub for arbitration. Nandini Tiwari, Associate, Hamdan AlShamsi Lawyers & legal Consultants, says that this is due to a number of factors. "The UAE has succeeded to become the regional hub for law due to its investor-friendly laws, internationally recognised principles and efficient enforcement mechanisms. The procedural laws of the UAE provide cost-effective and fast-track legal resolutions."
Tiwari says that the presenbu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) courts means that individuals and businesses from across the Gulf often choose to bring their cases to the UAE. "The DIFC courts have executed mutual enforcement treaties with various other countries that assist the judgment creditor to realise the awarded sums by enforcing the orders rendered by the DIFC courts in other jurisdictions."
"A lot of international companies with multiple contracts often involve arbitration clauses in the contracts with Dubai as the seat of arbitration."
"The introduction of the Cabinet Regulations brought much needed clarityawards."
Many foreign companies in the UAE choose to open their businesses in free zones due to the tax and ownership benefits. Whitehead says that as a result, arbitration in the UAE is distinguished between offshore and onshore. "Offshore arbitration are arbitrations that have their seats in one of the major free zones, such as the DIFC courts and the ADGM courts, and onshore arbitrations are arbitrations which have their seats in the UAE, excluding the DIFC and ADGM. The offshore arbitrations operate under the respective laws of each free zone."
"Most of our meetings are conductWe also conduct podcasts and webinars on a monthly basis to raise awareness on the impact of new laws enforcement within the UAE."
"Parties often have the option to invoke emergency arbitrator provisions which enable them to obtaindispensing of the need to go to court. Recourse to such provisions has increasehas been an attractive proposition during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, access to emergency relief can provide businesses with speedy resolution to a dispute, allowing them to turn to more pressing issues with their businesses."
Whitehead says he expects the new legal and digital efficiencies to remain post COVID-19. "We anticipate further legal and technological measures being implemented to providll those concerned. Another perhaps less known example has been from DIFC, which implemented emergency measures in light of COVID-19 in the form of Presidential Directive No. 4 of 2020, and announced the creation of a virtual labour market where relevant employees could add their information and register for employment opportunities. This, and other initiatives, have been important during the pandemic, and are likely to continue given the restrictions businesses are faced with and should allow for a more streamlined, cost effective and user friendly service, to meet business demands and needs." |

en | N/A | N/A | › When I'm Gone
"When I'm Gone" is a song by 3 Doors Down, an American rock band formed in 1996, which raised to fame thanks to their famous "Kryptonite" single. Released in October 2002 on their second album, "Away from the Sun", it reached as high as number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2003. Being the lead single for the album recorded at London Bridge Studios that sold over four million copies worldwide, the song stayed until March 2003 onpost-grunge and hard rock styles that this song fuses together made it very popular since it was released, making more fans attend their concerts throughout their tours. This song, even if not strictly a piano song, has produced beautiful sheet music which we make available for you here. The original music video for the song showed the band members playing in a swamp, getting buried. The video didn’t cut it off though and The Emperor directed a new music video with the band playing live on an aircraft carrier for the US Army. The idea and message of the video is to encourage all the soldiers that are fighting overseas to protect the nation of the United States. The lyrics are appropriate for the soldiers that are away from their families, as they feature verses that express the need of love, and safety. The message of the entire song is a concept of a man away from everyone dear, that sees the darkness, but hopes and waits for the day when he will see the "light that I can’t find", meaning the moment of the sweet return home. Getting as high as number 2 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks and getting some time even in the Top 40 Mainstream chart, it peaked at number 3 on the Adult Top 40 chart. Being featured on the video game "Band Hero", the song is quite known around the world and is an anthem for the US men that have to be away from their families.

I usually set up hierarchical URLs first to support the basic needs of my app, like /articles/{title}/comments for example. However I also use query strings to scope the results further, eg: /articles/{title}/comments?author=John+Doe.
The query string caching issue you mentioned in RFC 2616 only applies to cases where you're not setting the Expires and Cache-Control headers. Since you really should be doing that anyway, if you care about caching the URL, it doesn't seem to be too much of a barrier. Besides those two headers I think it's also important to set the Last-Modified and ETag headers and support validation.. that is return 304 Not Modified when the search results are the same as previous requeous efforts made to improve bitumen and asphalt

The NNSA laboratories are clearly the “go-to” institutions for a variety of customers for nuclear-weapons-related science and technology (S&T), as well as closely related areas such as the technical issues associated with nonproliferation or the assessment of foreign nuclear weapons programs. However, they are not necessarily the best or cheapest providers of S&T in other national security areas. In areas not closely related to nuclear weapons, there should be the continued expectation that the NNSA laboratories compete (as legally permissible within their status as FFRDCs) on a level playing field with other S&T providers for national security resources. This not only ensures the most cost-effective use of U.S. tax dollars, but also benefits the laboratories in the long run by providing healthy incentives for cost reduction to both the laboratories and to DOE/NNSA, discouraging the development of a culture of entitlement and encouraging the best technical solutions.

Ideally I want to set it up where when I am done with a > modification it automatically creates a patch (I have never used CVS > for anything except through csup and cvsup so I am totally lost here) I don't think this list is appropriate for basic CVS questions, but I give you a few hints anyway because development(7) does not mention them: You need to tag the point you are branching from in CVS, otherwise you cannot create meaningful diffs between your own branch and the upstream branch. So to create a branch you can actually use, you need to run the rtag command TWICE. For example, to branch RELENG_7, use: export CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM=424242 cvs -d $CVSROOT rtag -r RELENG_7 MY_BRANCH_BP cvs -d $CVSROOT rtag -r RELENG_7 -b MY_BRANCH You should also create descriptive tags on both branches before and after doing a merge, to make it easier to track what has been merged where and when. Otherwise continuously syncing your branch with upstream becomes a pain quickly. You can maintain several custom branches in a single repository by switching CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM. Just don't end up confusing your branches. Always use the same CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM setting for all tag and rtag commands operating on the same branch. Warning: Branching and merging in CVS is hard! Not because branching and merging in general is hard, but simply because CVS is brain damaged. You will very likely mess it up the first time. You should practise on a test repo until you feel confident that you understand it properly.

Exchange Operator BATS Stumbles in IPO Debut
Friday, 23 Mar 2012 01:34 PM
The debut of BATS Global Markets Exchange Inc. on Friday was overshadowed by a series of blunders, including its own shares erroneously trading for less than a penny and confusing investors.
The exchange operator, which priced 6.3 million shares at $16 per share late Thursday, saw its stock initially dip to $15.25 before the slew of bad trades. Shares were still halted as of 1:10 p.m.
BATS had said on its website that trading would resume at 1:20 p.m. EDT, but later said on the website that there was another delay. It set no time for a resumption.
"The last thing you want to do as a listing exchange is mess up your introduction to the public investment world — the IPO,".
The trades took place between 11:14 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. They were later canceled by Nasdaq, where the shares remained halted at $15.25.
The exchanges was forced to declare "self-help," which means an exchange is dealing with internal problems processing trades and needs to send trades through other venues.
As BATS was to begin trading, a bad trade for 100 shares of Apple Inc also triggered a circuit breaker that halted trading of the world's most valuable company.
At 11:07 a.m. the exchange said it was investigating system issues with trading in symbols in the range "A" through "BF," which would include Apple and BATS.

en | N/A | N/A | While the current bleak economic climate may be the worst of it- with economic experts suggesting the markets will turn around by the end of this year -- many employees are still wary about their professional futures. Likewise, employers continue to be cautious as they monitor spending and tighten budgets. In light of such circumstances, potential MBA candidates mpursue an advanced degree. Actually, a slow economy presents the perfect motivation for continued learning.
"Employers are aware of the capabilities that an MBA brings to the table, and that is why we're seeing more and more job requisitions that say 'MBA Preferred,'" says Havens, who earned her MBA in m9.
Although many companies used to sponsor employees in an MBA program, the need to stay competitive has forced many businesses to cut tuition-reimbursement programs. Without funds from their employers, some MBA candidates are opting to sponsor themselves. These individuals want to improve their potential to lead an organization, and consider lifelong learning a critical piece of the career enhancement puzzle. Most students, whether full-time, part-time or executive, are able to fully fund p and loan programs.
An MBA gives individuals a tool kit of general management skills that lasts for a lifetime. This broad training transcends location, time and job type, and enhances current focus and specialization. "Schools like Simon offer a rigorous curriculum -- individuals that make it through such a program will be much more capable of bringing their strengths to the job market," says Havens. "When you combine an MBA degree with real experience in the business world, it's a dynamite combination." |

en | N/A | N/A | When you file for divorce, the two ways the issues between you and your spouse will be resolved are through settlement and going to court for the judge to make a determination. One of the most emotional issues divorcing couples face is who will have custody of their children. To make matters even more difficult, once this decision has been made, life circumstances can lead to one of the parents having to relocate.
Relocation after your custody order has been finalized can be complicated, especially if . Thus, must follow certain procedural steps before moving the children.
A petition for approval to relocate must be filed with the court by the custodial parent. The petition is signed under oath and must set forth the following:
A detailed ds, if known
If the it must also be provided
A telephone number at the new residence, if available
The date the move is scheduled to take place
A detailed explanation of why the relocation is necessary (new job, closer to relatives, etc.)
A proposal for how to revise the custody arrangement and visitation schedule
The non-custodial parent has a certain amount of time (usually 20 days) to object or otherwise respond to the relocation. If you are the non-custodial parent and you receive a petition for relocahelp. Failure to timely respond could result in the judge approving the relocation of your children.

en | N/A | N/A | F’sD’ discrimination complaints constituted grounds for termination, the jury determined that it was the para-professional’s well-documented troubling and insubordinate conduct on October 31, 2014, that lead to his suspension and termination. Kenneth Lyons v. Denton Independent Sch. Dist., No. 15-05355-158 (158th Judicial Dist. Court, Denton County, TX).
Lyons was suspended and ISD investigated the incident. On March 11, 2015, ISD concluded that Lyons behaved inappropriately on October 31, 2014, and that his October 2014 complaint of discrimination, as well as several similar complaints he had filed, lacked merit and had been made in bad faith. ISD then terminated Lyons employment because of the October 31, 2014, incident, as well as his numerous, baseless allegations of discrimination. ISD noted its employment policies prohibit the filing of baseless complaints. |
en | N/A | N/A | A few loose and fast streetstyle fashion figures I painted in gouache, pencil and charcoal. I made these a couple of months ago to use in a promo to advertise my new live fashion illustration service, then I got super busy and never had a chance to share them with you guys on the blog. So, here they are now!
The prints are available on my Etsy shop TheMarrow if you're interested, they make a great set framed for a fashion girl's apartment wall art.
Quick little ink drawings from last night. I'm working with a company here in Hong Kong to produce some silk scarves with my illustrations on them! I'm so excited, but working with those huge files on Photoshop to create patterns can be really tedious.
I've been reading Lynda Barry's cartoon class blog for-eva-eva but I never actually get around to doing the exercises, but last night she posted this photo with the instructions "why not take 20 minutes to draw this picture? Start with non-photo blue pencil for five minutes and then take 15-20 minutes to ink it in."
Fun, creative and non-committal! Here's mine.
I also made another drawing with the same technique of Lana Del Rey from her new Rolling Stones cover, Saddest/Baddest Diva. I love how the cat turned out, look at his little eyes. Meow.
On my very last day in London I spent the afternoon wolfing down scones and chamomile tea at the top floor restaurant at the National Portrait Gallery, it's got one of the best and most interesting views of London, looking towards the Thames behind Trafalgar Square.
Sketches from the Xu Bing exhibition at Asia Society, read the full blog post here.
"I will not just be a tourist in the world of images" - Anais Nin. Practicing hand-lettering which is always fun and easy.
Organizing my London-trip sketchbook, a pressed daisy, the flowers were ubiquitous on the sidewalks and in the parks all over the city. An art nouveau sticker from my favourite fast-food joint LEON's, and a ticket stub from Chatsworth House.
Working slowly (but not even all that surely) on my London zine.
Spent an accidental afternoon at the beach, that's one of my favourite things about this cosmopolitan city, as cramped as the highrises are you are never too far from nature. This is Repluse Bay, a 20 minute bus ride from Central.
Just some loose sketches, since being back, maybe because it's the humid summer but I've had a hard time finding my daily rhythm and routine again. Doing little drawings without any purpose in mind always helps me feel better.
Live Drawing / TST + My First Video!
A few weeks ago in an effort to challenge myself I decided to set myself up in, Tsim Sha Tsui, a super busy part of Hong Kong near the harbour and try doing live portraits on the streets for the first time. It was terrifying but also really rewarding and fun.
Doing street portraits is something I've always wanted to try, but was terrified of. I had discussed the idea quietly to a few of my close friends and even mentioned it to my mom. They allgo for it. But I still wasn't sure. Wouldn't it be weird? No one invited me to do it? Can I really just set up on the street? What if I invite everyone to come and then I get kicked out or questioned by the police?
I've always been really into this idea of artists that took advantage of whatever small circumstances around them at the time and used it to bring their work out on to the street and use it as a chance to continually work on their craft. For example, I love the story of Jean-Michel Basquiat who as a young man sold painted t-shirts and postcards on the streets of Manhattan in order to make money.
I wanted to do something like that!
Why not take advantage of Hong Kong's lack of busking regulations, I've seen lots of young people setting up in Mong Kok either doing caricatures or playing music. Why shouldn't I do it? While I'm still young and living in the city.
The older I get the more I realize that opportunity is not something that is given, you have to take it.
So I mustered up my courage and made a Facebook event to let my friends know and posted to my Instagram to tell my followers what I would be up to. I knew I would feel so much more comfortable if even a handful of my friends were around.
My friend Jessica and three super stylish girls who are studying at SCAD, they had seen my invite on Instagram and came out to support! Thanks so much girls for stopping by, you are all so wonderful.
As the night progressed, the more portraits I did, the more confident I became and it was evident (at least to me) that I was getting better. Throughout the day lots of beautiful stylish friends stopped by, including blogger Sybil Kot, aka The Style Voyager. Can you spot her? Hint: look for the signature hair flip!
Polaroids from street photographer Dicky Lai.
And without further ado, the video! Check it out for all the action that day as filmed by the super talented Josh Tam at Josh Takes Photos. He did a beautiful job of capturing the energy of the day. We started at 3pm and as the sun set and evening came around the pier was buzzing with lots of pedestrians and a handful of young local street musicians. It felt great to be sketching in that environment and to be a part of a group who were bring more art and creativity to the streets and people of Hong Kong, however transient.
The video and screenshots were all filmed by Josh Tam of Josh Takes Photos, get in touch with him here.
And some more link karma! Ann from Kremb de la Kremb stopped by to get a livesketch that day and wrote a really sweet post with lots of great photos, go check it out on her blog. |
en | N/A | N/A | 'Take Me Home' explores country rock and has a really catchy chorus to boot. It's a great opening track and comes complete with some really impressive guitar riffs for those of you who own air guitars and want to rock out!
I enjoyed listening to this EP as it gave me a break from the modern commercial radio type genres and stripped back some of their complexities and noise to just simple and relatable contexts and vocals. I guess in a sense that would sit it in my 'Easy Listening' folder which I usually delve into on a Sunday but that's only me – you may well have a different view! |
en | N/A | N/A | Will someone be able to resolve my difficulty with my math? I have tried to find myself a teacher who can help me. But so far I have not succeeded. Its not easy to locate someone easily accessible and inexpensive. But then I need to get over my difficulty with how to change a mixed number to a decimal as my exams are coming up just now. It will be a great help for me if someone can direct me.
You really shouldn’t have wasted money on a math tutor. Had you posted this message before hiring a tutor, you could have saved yourself loads of money! Anyway, what’s done is done. Now to make sure that you do well in your exams I would recommend using Algebra Helper . It’s a very easy to use software. It can solve the toughest problems for you, and what’s even cooler is the fact that it can even explain how to go about solving it! There used to be a time when even I was having difficulty understanding relations, monomials and monomials. But thanks to Algebra Helper , it’s all good now.
I’m also using Algebra Helper to assist me with my math projects. It really does help you quickly understand certain topics like exponential equations and unlike denominators which would take days to comprehend just by reading books. It’s highly recommended software if you’re searching for something that can help you to solve math problems and show all necessary step by step solution. A must have algebra software.
Sorry friends. But whenever I see those book and piles of homework, I just can’t seem to retain my confidence. Thanks a lot for the suggestion and I will use it for sure. Where can I get this thing? |
en | N/A | N/A | I have been looking through a lot of my old notes on my phone and thinking back at the moment when I wrote each one. I have been thinking about the difference in how they sound depending on whether I was moving or sitting down while I wrote it. I remember walking through a park while clicking one into my phone. I remember one was typed on my computer after having touched something sticky like honey or glue or something that I couldn’t get off my fingers. The sensation returns. Many of my notes have voice recognition mistakes because I wanted to quickly speak something in before forgetting it. A new kind of scribble. It’s not difficult to recognising these vribbles. They stick out a lot because they are very fluent and don’t have a single spelling mistake, but then suddenly there are words that make absolutely no sense in the sentence, like ‘gerbil’s scenario’ in a note where I’m trying to say something about the president of Brazil. Setting aside for a moment the politics of the fact that my phone has no problem spelling the names of contemporary western leaders, I’m struck by how these ideophonetic detours tickle my vocal cords.
I say the words out loud again and the situation returns in a way that takes my attention away from what I intended to communicate to my future self. A bit like the sticky fingers, but the stickiness is more like an aside or an obstruction to the intention. The new words in my throat arrest the intention for a moment, suspends it, lets it vibrate among countless other meanings and intentions and lets it go again. But before letting me get back to my past train of thought I am myself also suspended in an echoic memory that feeds back with the physical sensation that it is to make that sound. A bus whizzes across my bedsheets and lets off that loud hissing sound of decompressing air that I have always wondered if are set off intentionally by bus drivers to scare people. A small flock of pigeons rise up in front of me and struggle against a wind that is not blowing. Everything falls from nowhere into a cup of soft feathers.
You know how there are certain words that you avoid saying because you don’t like the way they sound, like ‘error’, and other words you don’t write because they are difficult to spell or maybe they look weird or remind you of something that doesn’t fit in the sentence, like the word ‘thorough’ which reminds me of Aladdin when I see it written? Those words create new ways of thinking about things; new paths of meaning and intention. But they are usually very personal and idiosyncratic. I’m trying to imagine what it means for the vribblers of the world to be tied to this common strangeness of writing with the voice. Odd new paths. |
en | N/A | N/A | Are These Really Legends?
Legends of Tomorrow was a gamble for the CW. Taking a bunch of side characters from Arrow and The Flash, giving them their own show, and throwing in time travel on top of that?
The Legends are a diverse group. First is Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee), the reincarnation of an Egyptian priestess. She is joined by The Atom (Brandon Routh), a genius in Iron Man-esque armor that shrinks.
Hawkgirl might be a main character, but she is the worst character in the show. She’s bland, boring, and spends more time being melodramatic than helpful. I like Hawkgirl and Hawkman as characters, but not main characters if this is how they are portrayed. |
