Activists welcomed the Thai senate passing the first reading of a bill to legalise same-sex marriage Tuesday, bringing the kingdom another step closer to becoming the first Southeast Asian country to recognise marriage equality.
Thailand has long enjoyed an international reputation for tolerance of the LGBTQ community, but campaigners have struggled for decades against conservative attitudes and values.
The vote sailed through the unelected upper house -- stacked with conservative appointees named by the last junta -- with 147 votes in favour, building on the momentum from last week's landslide vote in parliament.
"It's as if we have received the greatest gift since I've been pushing for 12 years," LGBTQ gender rights activist Waaddao Chumaporn said after the senators voted.
"It has meaning not only for LGBTQ couples, but for family institutions."
On Tuesday morning the body debated the legislation, which will change references to "men", "women", "husbands" and "wives" in the marriage law to gender-neutral terms.
Activist and bill representative Chanya Rattanathada also addressed the chamber, asking senators: "Please, can I trust my future with you?"
The legislation will now go to a 27-person committee for further consideration. The senate cannot reject the proposed changes but can send the bill back to the lower house for further debate for 180 days.
It will come back for two more senate votes, with the next probably no earlier than July.
The tone in parliament was muted, with many in the LGBTQ community waiting for the legislation to become law before celebrating fully.
In a side room off from the chamber, activist Siritata Ninlapruek clutched a rainbow flag and threw her fist to the air as the bill passed its first reading.
But there was more to be done to help and protect the LGBTQ community, she told AFP.
"We still need to keep fighting for our rights."
- 'Proud of our pride' -
Senate Deputy President Singsuk Singpai said the bill passed with 147 agreeing, four against and seven abstaining in the upper house.
Last week, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said he was "proud of our pride" after the lower house voted to approve the bill.
"The passing (of this law) in the parliament today is a proud moment for Thai society who will walk together towards social equality and respect differences," he wrote on social media platform X.
Across Asia, only Taiwan and Nepal recognise same-sex marriage. Last year, India's highest court deferred the decision to parliament, and Hong Kong's top court stopped just short of granting full marriage rights.
LGBTQ activists celebrated last Wednesday's vote as a significant milestone on the road to equality.
Paulie Nataya Paomephan, who won Miss Trans Thailand in 2023, said until recently she had never dreamed that transgender people would be able to legally marry in Thailand.
"I think it is because politicians have to adapt themselves to the changing world," she told AFP, adding she and her boyfriend of three years planned to marry if the law passed.
The prime minister has been vocal in his support for the LGBTQ community, making the marriage equality policy a signature issue and telling reporters last year that the change would strengthen family structures.
Opinion polls reported by local media show the law has overwhelming support among Thais.
While Thailand has a reputation for tolerance, much of the Buddhist-majority country remains conservative, and LGBTQ people, while highly visible, still face barriers and discrimination.
Activists have been pushing for same-sex marriage rights for more than a decade, but in a kingdom where politics is regularly upended by coups and mass street protests, their advocacy did not get far.
Campaigner Waaddao said she knew of dozens of LGBTQ couples ready to tie the knot once the law is passed, which she hoped would happen this year.
"Once the law is enforced, yes of course, it will change Thai society," she told AFP.
"It will inspire other fights for other equalities." |
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – It’s an alarming discovery tied to pregnancy in new research led by the University of New Mexico. Scientists have found trace amounts of plastic in 100% of the human placentas they tested. “It was easy to find the plastics, that was probably the part that was alarming to us,” Matthew Campen, UNM Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
After three years of research led by scientists at UNM, that alarming discovery is the amount of tiny plastic particles researchers found in human placentas. “This is a lot. It’s really obvious that these particles have embedded themselves in the placentas,” said Campen.

New Mexico Frontier: Spaceport America talks about 10-year plan
Out of 62 placentas they tested, each had 6.5 to nearly 685 micrograms of microplastic per gram of tissue. Microplastics are manmade materials that can’t be seen by the human eye and don’t break down easily.
“It’s not necessarily the bottle that we are drinking right now or the fork we are using. What it is, once it enters that landfill, it starts to degrade, ultimately it ends up back into the ecosystem into our food,” said Marcus Garcia, UNM postdoctoral fellow.
“There were this much plastic in tissues that are only eight months, imagine what you have as a full-grown adult in other parts of your body,” said Campen.
The amount researchers found is equal to about a droplet of water per placenta. Researchers say the findings show just how much plastic is in the environment, and they caution that more research is needed on how plastic affects the human body.
Scientists also warn that the health of a placenta can make a big difference in a baby’s overall development. “That’s not to say that plastics are known to cause any of that, but if they affect how the placenta functions if they affect how the placenta grows. If the placenta doesn’t grow adequately, it can’t provide nutrients to the growing baby,” said Campen.
UNM says it is continuing this research with the Baylor College of Medicine and will soon take a deeper look into expectant mothers’ eating habits to see how that might play a role. |
The White House has condemned the latest Russian missile attack on Ukraine, emphasising that the Kremlin leader is trying to seize every day to harm peaceful Ukrainians.
Source: Ukrinform citing John Kirby, White House National Security Communications Advisor
Quote: "They demonstrate once again how vital it is that we continue to provide Ukraine with air defence systems and capabilities, interceptor missiles — the tools that they need to protect themselves and their infrastructure."
Details: Kirby noted that Putin "is not sitting on his hands" waiting while Ukraine remains without defence assistance.
Quote: "He’s making lethal use of every single minute available to him while our own Congress refuses to act. He’s not wavering, neither should we."
Details: In this context, Kirby once again urged the House of Representatives to quickly pass a bill with additional funding for national security needs to provide Ukraine with vital weaponry.
"And as we’ve seen in just the last couple of days, every single day the House delays is another day that the Ukrainians have to pay for it with their own blood," he emphasised.
On the night of 21-22 March 2024, Russian troops launched a combined missile and drone strike against Ukraine's critical infrastructure using a total of 151 aerial weapons. Ukrainian air defence units managed to destroy 92 Russian aerial targets.
In particular, three people were killed as a result of the strike on Zaporizhzhia, including a girl, 8, and a man, 35, – daughter and father – as well as a trolleybus driver, 62, who was travelling along the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant dam. The vehicle was carrying no passengers.
The Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant in the city of Zaporizhzhia was hit by missiles eight times. |

2"L x 2"W x 8"T
Materials: Bronze, paint |
- 1kg chicken spatchcocked
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp za’atar (plus more for serving)
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp agave or honey
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 150g full fat Greek yoghurt
- 15g parsley, tender stems and leaves
- 25g coriander, tender stems and leaves
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 180g long grain rice
- 450ml chicken stock
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 20g butter
- 20g coriander, roughly chopped
- ½ lemon, juiced
Blitz the chicken marinade ingredients, place the spatchcocked chicken in a large bowl or large freezer bag and pour the marinade over it. Refrigerate overnight or at room temperature one hour prior to cooking.
In the meantime, blitz the ingredients for the green tahini sauce together and refrigerate.
If marinating overnight, take the chicken out of the refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking. Preheat the oven to 200 C. Take the chicken out of the marinade and pat the skin side wiping excess marinade with a piece of paper roll. Add extra virgin olive oil to a large cast iron skillet so it just coats the bottom and heat on medium high. Place the chicken skin-side down in the pan and cook without disturbing it for 5 minutes until the skin is dark golden. Flip the chicken over and then place it in the oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes rotate the skillet handle to the opposite side and cook for a further 20 minutes (40 minutes total) or until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 75 C. Take the chicken out and place it on a cutting board to rest. It should be dark golden, crispy on the top and very tender.
While the chicken is resting make your rice. Add rice, stock, butter, and olive oil to a saucepan stirring until it boils, turn the heat down to a low simmer, and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked and has a creamy consistency. Fold the coriander and lemon juice into the rice.
To serve cut the chicken, serve it alongside the hot rice with salad, and drizzle the green tahini sauce on top. Garnish with a few sprinkles of za’atar and enjoy with a crisp cold glass of [yellow tail] Pinot Grigio. |
The career development resources your association offers are a valuable member benefit. But did you know that they can also boost engagement at your association’s annual conference? Here’s how.
Career resources are a valuable member benefit. In fact, association industry research shows that job opportunities and help with career development are among the most valuable member benefits. But career content doesn’t have to be limited to your online career center or career events.
By integrating career-related content with your annual conference, you can give members another chance to access the career development resources they want. You’ll add more value for your members (and sponsors!), helping to make your annual conference a can’t-miss event.
This approach can help you grow attendance, drive more engagement, and increase revenue for your annual conference.
Five ways to integrate career content into your association’s annual conference
Let’s look at five specific ways that you can integrate valuable career content into your association’s annual conference.
1. Deliver top candidates.
Employers want to hire the most qualified candidates. That makes your annual conference a gold mine for recruiters in your industry or profession. There’s no other place where an employer can connect with a more concentrated group of professionals in your industry who are actively committed to advancing their careers through professional development and networking opportunities.
To facilitate connections, provide a dedicated area during scheduled networking events just for employers and job seekers. This approach provides a casual atmosphere where employers can learn more about potential candidates outside of a structured interview environment, and job seekers can network with multiple employers.
2. Host an event within an event.
Hosting a career fair during your conference is a powerful way to attract new and returning members to your annual conference. A career fair is a valuable event for your job-seeking members. Plus, this offering adds an opportunity for you to sell more booth space and advertising to employers.
Offering a career event at your annual conference enables members to connect with multiple companies in a short timeframe. It also provides employers with access to an active and engaged audience of industry professionals in a single location. This “event within an event” will generate added revenue, and your online career center will experience a surge in traffic before, during, and after the event.
3. Offer new sponsorship and advertising opportunities.
Open your annual conference advertising and sponsorship packages to employers and recruiters by offering targeted advertising packages. Doing so helps employers and recruiters reach your members with job opportunities. For example:
- Add a section for “Featured Job Postings” within your annual conference program.
- Add a “Featured Jobs” widget on your annual conference website or web pages.
- Allow advertisers to insert printed materials or branded gifts into the conference bag.
- Offer digital and printed recruitment guides that include relevant career development articles and resources for members, plus paid ads from employers looking to hire your members. You can hand out printed guides at your in-person events, and then send digital copies to all of your members.
Package these advertising opportunities with your online career center products to expand employers’ reach online and offline for the duration of the annual conference. Encourage advertisers to post their job openings online before and during the event to further drive interest. Also, provide employers and recruiters with a package that offers access to your résumé database, allowing them to research potential candidates before the conference and invite them to meet in person at the event.
4. Drive awareness for your annual conference by adding career services.
Enhance your annual conference by adding career services, like a Certified Career Counselor, onsite to help job seekers. Some Certified Career Counselors may be willing to participate at no charge to you in exchange for the exposure they receive to job seekers. These counselors can help with résumé critiquing, career counseling, interview tips, and more. If job seekers are interested in more in-depth engagement, they can make that arrangement onsite.
Promote this exclusive opportunity through a banner ad on your career center website to drive more interest in your annual conference.
5. Showcase your career center.
Short breaks and times between conference sessions present a great opportunity to engage your members with your career center. For example, have a set of computers available for use, with your online career center as the default homepage. This will allow attendees to view current job openings and upload their résumés on site. And if you’re hosting a career fair, attendees can schedule meetings with employers right there.
These approaches create a simple and seamless experience to facilitate the employer and job seeker connection while highlighting your career center.
Take the next step.
Whether you choose to have a booth at your conference to register members for your online job board, or you host a career fair (or both!), featuring career center resources at your association’s annual conference can increase engagement and add value for your members and sponsors. These types of event enhancements can have a positive impact for your association, sponsors, and members long after everyone has returned home.
If you aren’t offering an online career center as a member benefit, it’s time to take a look at how it can play a significant role in your organization’s success and ongoing financial health. |

Bhagwat calls for unity among Hindus, says wild dogs can destroy lone lion
Lamenting that the Hindus have been suffering for thousands of years, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has asked them to come together and organise themselves, saying "if a lion is alone, wild dogs can invade and destroy him".
Addressing a gathering of some 2,500 delegates attending the second World Hindu Congress here, Bhagwat, however, said the Hindus have no aspiration of dominance.
"The Hindu society will prosper only when it works as a society," he said on Friday.
"In initial days of our work, when our karkyakartas (workers) used to talk to the Hindus about organising them, they used to say 'sher kabhi jhund mein nahi chalta' (a lion never walks in a group). But even that lion or a royal Bengal tiger who is the king of the jungle, if he is alone, wild dogs can invade and destroy him." "Coming together of the Hindus is in itself a difficult thing," he said, adding the Hindu society has the largest number of meritorious persons.
Bhagwat said in the Hindu dharma, even a pest is not killed, but controlled.
"The Hindus don't live to oppose anybody. We even allow the pests to live. There are people who may oppose us. You have to tackle them without harming them," Bhagwat said He noted that the Hindus had been suffering for thousands of years because they forgot to practice the basic principles of the Hinduism and spiritualism.
He urged the participants to discuss and evolve a methodology to implement the idea of working collectively.
"We have to come together," Bhagwat said, noting that all the people need not to register under one umbrella organisation.
"It is an opportune moment. We have stopped our descent. We are contemplating how to ascend. We are not an enslaved, downtrodden nation. The people are in dire need of our ancient wisdom, Bhagwat said.
Bhagwat said a sense of idealism is good and described himself not as "anti-modern", but as "pro-future".
He sought to describe the Hindu dharma as "ancient and post-modern".
In this context, he alluded to the war and politics in the Hindu epic Mahabharat, and said politics cannot be conducted like a meditation session, and it should be politics.
"To work together, we have to accept the consensus. We are in a position to work together," Bhagwat said at the conference inspired by the Hindu principle 'Sumantrite Suvikrante' or 'Think Collectively, Achieve Valiantly'.
"Our universal values now called Hindu values lead to the welfare of the individual, the society, the nature and the environment. It is the duty of the Hindus to remind the world of universal values from time to time," Bhagwat said.
He said the duty of the dharma to human beings should be performed till the world exists.
"One of the key values to bring the whole world into a team is to have controlled ego and learn to accept the consensus. For example, Lord Krishna and Yudhishtra never contradicted each other," Bhagwat said.

Not all commercial cleaning is the same. An experienced commercial cleaner will know that different businesses have different cleaning requirements.
They will know if industry-specific standards must be met, if particular cleaning products should be used, and when cleaning should occur. Their experience will enable them to anticipate your needs and tailor a suitable service for you.
The right kind of clean
Not all commercial cleaners do the same type of work. It's important that a cleaner has an understanding of your space as well as in-depth knowledge of your industry and the guidelines or standards that must be followed.
Every business has different cleaning needs, and your commercial cleaner should tailor your service to your needs. Some environments, like offices, need a simple dusting, vacuuming and rubbish collection. Other commercial environments need regular deep cleaning, specific cleaning products, or a certain standard of infection control.
A commercial cleaner with experience in your industry will know what standards they need to meet and have all the right tools, equipment and training to do the job right.
When infection control matters
Cleaning is your first line of defence against infectious diseases. Experienced commercial cleaners have always known this, but it is even more critical in our new 'COVID-normal' world.
There are many different factors a commercial cleaner should consider when it comes to infection control. For example, the type of business, the risk of infection, if vulnerable people work or visit the business, and what type of cleaning products are appropriate. The way a commercial cleaner manages infection control for a school is very different than for a small office.
The right tools for the right job
Professional commercial cleaners should have the latest tools, equipment and products to perform a variety of cleaning tasks. Having the right commercial cleaning equipment will maximise cleaning efficiency and results.
Experience is essential when selecting the right tool for the right job. Choosing the wrong product or equipment to perform a task can result in damage to your property. A professional cleaner knows which cleaning products to use on which surfaces, avoiding damage to surfaces, fixtures and furniture.
Fully supported team of professional cleaners
The importance of experience goes beyond the team of professional cleaners that visit your property. It is equally important that the cleaning team is supported by an experienced management team and robust management systems.
An experienced leadership team will share their knowledge and support their team. Coupled with management systems that maintain accountability, monitor quality and keep track of tasks will ensure a gold standard professional commercial cleaning service.
Working with your schedule
Experienced commercial cleaners will expect to work with your schedule. Some businesses, like shopping centres and public facilities, expect cleaning to happen during operating hours. Others prefer their cleaners to be like magical fairies that come after hours and make everything nice and clean for the next day.
Commercial cleaners should be able to anticipate your needs based on the nature of your business and offer a suitable service.
Put your trust in the commercial cleaning experts
Hundreds of businesses across South Australia and the Northern Territory trust Zippy Cleaning & Maintenance Services to keep their premises clean and safe. And it's no wonder.

Caiyuan Bright Silver TC Reflective Cloth is used to evenly distribute high refractive index glass beads on various substrates with different resins, and a reflective layer is coated on the surface of the back half of the beads. Each row of beads on the base surface is an optical lens element. When the light shines on the product surface, the beads will reflect the beam to the light source direction. The light shows bright light through the process of incidence refraction reflection, forming the retro directional reflective function. It also has striking, warning and safety effects. |
There is still unbelievably much we have yet to discover from the Amazon. Now, researchers have uncovered two new species of woodlizards from Peru.
Woodlizards are little known species of reptiles, with only 10 species being described so far, all of which are found in Central or South America (9 in Peru). These new found species were found in Cordillera Azul National Park, one of the largest in Peru, and described in ZooKeys.
“These species were discovered in recent expeditions to poorly explored areas on both sides of the Andes in Ecuador and Peru, suggesting that more species might be awaiting discovery in other unexplored areas close to the Andes,” the researchers write.
The species were named Enyalioides azulae, or the blue woodlizard, and Enyalioides binzayedi, or Bin Zayed’s woodlizard after Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and UAE – who funded the expedition.
“Thanks to these discoveries, Peru becomes the country holding the greatest diversity of woodlizards. Cordillera Azul National Park is a genuine treasure for Peru and it must be treated as a precious future source of biodiversity exploration and preservation!” said lead author Pablo Venegas from the Centro de ornitología y Biodiversidad (CORBIDI) in Lima, Perú.
There is, at the moment no indication of whether woodlizards are threatened, as no such study has been conducted. However, this is once again a clear indication about the wonderful biodiversity that thrives in the Amazon and which we are endangering more every day.

Umrah Visa From Bangladesh
Required checklist for Umrah visa
Original passport with 6 months validity from the expected date of return.
A passport-size recent color photo with a white background.

What Is an Umrah Visa?
An Umrah visa is a travel document issued by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), allowing you to enter the country to perform the Umrah pilgrimage. You can complete this religious journey anytime during the year. However, most pilgrims prefer to perform it during the holy month of Ramadan—so it’s counted as having completed Hajj.

Sometimes too much of a good thing can be bad. Ice cream, wine, Justin Bieber, and content. Yes, content.
So what’s considered bad content?
Bad content might be a short blog post without any case studies or data to back it up.
Or it’s an ‘About Us’ PDF that looks like it was created in MS-DOS.
It could also be a lengthy PowerPoint presentation for a potential client that doesn’t offer any customized touches beyond the introductory page.
You need to have high-quality content targeted to your specific audience if you want any content efforts to convert—especially when it’s for a new client acquisition. When you use a platform like Zoomforth, you’re able to build interactive content experiences for both present and future clients.
And with a platform like ours (cough, cough, humblebrag alert, cough) it’s easy, intuitive, targeted and secure with real-time analytics to make sure the content you’re investing in is appealing to your clients.
A platform like ours allows you to create a microsite that can house custom and boilerplate content for each potential client.
Here’s just a few of the benefits for creating a unique customer experience on a digital platform.
#1. Save time and money
What could we all use more of? Time and money!
Don’t bother creating a quick video intro about your company for every digital experience you create. And an ‘About Us’ PDF with corporate headshots has been done a billion times.
Instead, invest in one really great video that tours around the office, gets a quick peek at the team and shows off your team personality that can be used again and again in your digital platforms for clients.
For evergreen content or content you use regularly regardless of the client (like about us pages, team bios, leadership background, etc) you can put some money into creating some really stellar videos or photos to use for every pitch.
When you use a platform like Zoomforth, you’ll have access to templates you can use time and time again, and that can be customized without any graphic designers or web pros every time you create a new client proposal.
#2. Make a client feel super special
Let’s get one thing straight. People like to be wooed, whether it’s a first date or a client proposal.
Show a potential client you’ve done your research on them and create some curated thought leadership. Take the time to understand their specific needs and from there, expand on how your business will fulfill those needs.
One example might be to create a unique infographic that lays out a solution to a problem, rather than write up some lengthy prose that’s less engaging.
Or perhaps your potential client’s brand mascot is a squirrel. Why not toss in a few squirrel puns throughout your presentation to show them you’re paying attention. No idea is too nutty if it’s specific to a client.
#3. Less friction, more fun
From the perspective of a potential client, digging through multiple business proposals can get boring quickly.
Imagine serving a client a custom digital content experience that they can access online rather than by downloading a hefty PowerPoint from their email.
Rather than offer up a 50-page presentation that can be cumbersome to wade through, you can ensure the navigation is customized to accommodate different stakeholder’s interests.
And imagine that you’re the only one that has offered a proposal in a digital format.
Your client will only need to save one link from their email to access every document, video or infographic you’ve created for them rather than have to toil through attachments in an email or Google folder.
Take that pain point away from them and that’s exactly how you stand out in a sea of bids.
#4. Assess how content is performing
Look at analytics. And assess your ROI.
With a digital content experience, you can actually have accurate data that reflects your ROI in a variety of ways.
At a high level, you can see how many people are visiting the site, what they’re clicking on, what device they’re using and which pages are the most popular. That’s not something you can get in any other medium.
And if you want to dive deeper into analytics, a digital content platform allows you to have access to who accessed certain files, how far into that fancy ‘About Us’ video they watched and how far they did read through a PDF presentation. Talk about powerful insights.
Not only do these notifications allow you to tweak information in real-time, it lets you know how to better serve your client throughout your time working together.
#5. Don’t be a hack
And don’t let any client information get hacked.
In a world where even big corporations have been prone to security breaches, clients are growing more and more nervous about sharing sensitive data – especially if it’s over email.
The right digital platform allows you to create a secure site so every stakeholder can rest easy with sharing important financials or other information they’d rather not get leaked over email.
At Zoomforth our enterprise security allows your content experience to be protected by a password, email authentication, multi-factor authentication or internal sign-on.
Goodbye forever to unsecured emails with file-based attachments!
Own the customer digital experience from start to finish with a platform that allows you to create a custom content experience every step of the way. Not only will you be an authority within your field, but you can happily engage your clients with fun, warm and unique content along the way.
It’s a win-win. Now put on some Bieber and pass us the ice cream.

Two Silver Stacking Wedding Bands
Bold, simple jewelry is most successful when it is versatile. These modern stacking sterling silver rings can be worn in groups of two or three (or even five!) or on their own. When it is not on your finger, why not slide it through a chain and wear it like a pendant around your neck.
This band is tapered on one side to 1.65 mm and rounded on the other to 4.25 mm so that the two rings will nestle together like yin and yang or along side other rings in my collection in a contemporary stack. You can make the ring suit your mood each day!
Made in my London studio, these two silver rings are fully hallmarked by the London Assay office with my maker's mark, the year it was made, the city it was made in (London) and its silver content.

MUMO: The Innovative Museum Truck
The project of a museum truck for the MUMO association and the Centre Pompidou is born from a collaboration between the architects Hérault Arnod and the artist Krijn de Koning. The result is a truck-work that allows a large exhibition space to the art works on display, hanged in the conditions of a small museum. It was imagined as a multifunctional tool, simple and adaptable to different uses.
The truck museum will travel throughout France and abroad to reach a wide variety of audiences, especially those who are not used to visiting museums. The latest study by the Ministry of Culture shows that, in addition to a general decline in museum attendance in France over the last ten years, certain social categories or people living in rural areas almost never go to see an exhibition. The truck museum is specially designed for them – children and adults who are not used to going through the doors of cultural institutions.
The truck’s rollout
The arrival of the truck on village squares, parking lots, parks or any other public spaces is greeted with fanfare. Small wonder, as it evokes fairground architecture on wheels.
The side drawers come out, with several panels unfolding horizontally and vertically to form a front porch. The staircase is put in place. The illuminated sign (that was folded in the space between the trailer and the tractor) is attached to a telescopic mast that rises and pivots above the truck. The basic volume of the vehicle is transformed and opens up, offering an open welcoming space in the transition between the interior and the exterior.
The three spaces of the museum: The visit experiences
The museum has three spaces: the loggia, the exhibition room and the alcove. The loggia opens to the outside like a theater stage and can be used for various purposes. Its primary function is to welcome the public in this elevated space before entering the exhibition room, on the same level. Visitors can check their coats in checkrooms positioned on the side of the room, and adequate seating is provided. It is a sheltered area where discussions with the mediators take place and where groups wait to visit the exhibition, undercover. The children’s work from the workshops can be exhibited here. In winter, the loggia is closed with a translucent curtain to protect visitors from bad weather.
The loggia, a mediation space of between the museum and the city, can also be used as an outdoor stage for performances or concerts. It can be closed by a screen and transformed into an open-air cinema (rear projection from inside the loggia). The graphics of the cut-out letters topping the loggia of the “MUMO” are easily identifiable by children, with the ensemble conjuring up visions of a minimalist version of a fairground stand. For the mobility-impaired persons, an elevator stored under the trailer is put in place on request, providing access to a side door next to the main entrance.
The exhibition room is the core of the facility. It is a refined space for showcasing the works, where the technical elements are carefully tucked away to eliminate visual disturbances. The volume is optimized, with the surface close to the square measuring 35 m2. The entrance is made from the loggia, laterally and not from the back, which allows to free a beautiful surface for hanging pictures at the bottom of the truck. The central hollow part on the ceiling is hidden to make for a smooth, flat surface with integrated lighting and ventilation grids. All the walls and ceiling are white, the floor is light gray.
It is endeavored to create hanging conditions identical to those of a museum, without any apparent hanging device. The paintings are fixed directly into the walls that are equipped with a damping system to absorb the vibrations of the truck and protect the art works.
In the center, three white pieces of furniture on a square base serve as a pedestal for objects and storage, and incorporate ventilation grilles.
The alcove is the raised space that extends from the exhibition room. It is narrower and its volume is less suitable for hanging works on the walls. It is a transformable space that can be a projection room with seating, host sculptures or be a work in itself, conceived by Krijn de Koning.
The work of Krijn de Koning: Furniture and color
Beyond its functionality, the truck museum is a pictorial and sculptural work. The color palette on each side of the truck was defined by Krijn de Koning. The interior color of the loggia is revealed when it is unfolded: the bright red contrasts with the green facade, highlighting this welcoming space that opens onto the public space. Inside, the alcove is also a colored space. Its faces are different shades of green that contrast with the white of the exhibition room.
The contrast in color between the different spaces accentuates the difference in status: the colored rooms are spaces in movement, mutable and reconfigurable. The exhibition room, entirely white, is a place to pause, concentrate, contemplate and soothe.
The color of the furniture is yet another extension of this color research work. The seats are made of parallelepipeds with surfaces painted in different shades of red for the elements that are part of the loggia and in different shades of green for those intended for the alcove. In the loggia, they allow visitors to sit while waiting for the visit.
The volumes can also be mixed, creating random compositions, for example outside, to allow the public to attend a projection or a performance in the loggia.
The colored volumes are arranged vertically at the back of the alcove. They form a checkerboard of colors with a variety of nuances that can be configured in different ways. These colored blocks can be mixed and matched as needed, in unexpected arrangements that create different compositions each time.

I struggled with writing today’s letter. I just had so much to say on the topic, in several deep directions. I’m happy with how it turned out, finally, at the nth hour! I hope it moves you.
Preorder Dream of the Divided Field
Yanyi is a terrific poet, one who's written for us a book to read when we wake in the middle of the night and need a voice that is filled with longing, and truth, delight of being, despite all the painful odds.
—Ilya Kaminsky, author of Dancing in Odessa and Deaf Republic
Dream of the Divided Field is coming out on 1 March 2022, and your preorder will make a difference, including in ways you may not expect.
- Preorders support me, most obviously. If you like my work, preorders send a strong signal that you’d like not only this book, but my next book as well. It’s a surefire way to add numbers to your sentiments, and help others stumble upon the work.
- Preorders support writers like me. Everyone is so much more than the demographics foisted upon them, including me. But I am queer, trans, Asian, and an immigrant. And your preorders will prove to publishers that there’s a demand for my work and the work of those who share my identities.
- Preorders support diversity in your local community. Preorders help local bookstores choose whether to stock a book at all. This is especially important to me as someone who didn’t grow up in an urban area, where work by those like me was much harder to come by.
- You don’t have to buy the book yourself. You can request it at your local library and be the first one to check it out! Your simple work of filling out a form will give other readers access to my work.
If you’d like to review the book, teach it, or interview me, you can also request a free review copy by emailing my publicist, Carla Bruce-Eddings at Penguin Random House (ceddings [at] penguinrandomhouse [dot] com).
Now, on with the work.
I really loved your letter on rejection from last week, so much so that I tried it as a journaling exercise: “acknowledging that missing part, knowing intimately what it is, and loving yourself so much that you are willing to transform in order to try and try again”. But as I journaled, I realized (and this realization has been coming on for a while) that my missing part isn’t external validation, but simply… talent. What do you do when you realize you are flatly untalented, but you still like writing? Do you continue, embarrassing yourself and anyone who reads your work (because, of course, embarrassingly, I still want my writing to be read)? Do you do yourself and the world a favor and stop?
I know, I know. “What is talent without hard work?” “Many writers weren’t the most talented, but the ones who stuck with it.” But, you have to have a bit of talent, no? Even if just as a base. Even if just as potential. A bird can fly longer and higher as their muscles develop, but a turtle will not fly, no matter how many times they throw themselves off a ledge.
Anyway, I’ve been throwing myself at writing for some years now: writing or editing every day, reading regularly, analyzing other people’s writing, taking classes, submitting, joining mentorship programs… Not good enough to get published or win awards, not bad enough to lose hope completely. I think I did know I couldn’t cut it all along, but so many people around me were so kind and encouraging (I was so lucky to have them, this is not a complaint at all!) that I missed all the signs telling me I should give up. But now that I’ve had this realization, it’s hard to unrealize that even if I worked as hard as I could, the best I could hope for is mediocrity.
Thank you in advance!
Just A Turtle
My first impulse, when I read your letter, was to tell you immediately that awards and publication are meaningless, but that would be disingenuous, coming from someone who has received both. Awards and publication do matter, but they don’t matter in the way that you think. You see them as indicators of your innate ability. And why wouldn’t you? From challenge programs, IQ tests, and writing contests, we’re taught from a young age that there’s such a thing as natural aptitude. Kids are corralled and separated between average and honors. Now, as adults, our stories are awarded first, second, and third place; our poetry collections are either published, finalists, or rejected.
We could go further down this industry critique, JAT, and I have in today’s postscript, but it wouldn’t tell you anything very new about the structural issues in the world, and it doesn’t quite get to what I’d rather do in these letters: talking about writing as it means to you, and what you can do. The structural issues do matter, unequivocally yes, but their influences are not the only possibilities. Life is not, as much as it may feel like, a corporate, imperialist, and patriarchal Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. And giving in to the game as the only reality only leaves us deeper in it.
Instead, I want to tell you a story, as you’ve told yours to me. When I was young—I don’t mean twenty, I mean I was eight or so—I very badly wanted to be a writer. By then I was starting to read through maybe even a hundred books a year, which I would do until middle school. Every year in elementary school, there was a contest called Young Authors, to which every student could submit a ten-page story. Every year, I started a story for Young Authors with the meticulous detail necessary to begin a 400-page novel. Inevitably, the tenth page would come too early in the story, and I would be forced to end them disastrously—either with to be continued or an abrupt plot twist that annihilated everything I had started. I had read so many fantasy books by then that I knew exactly how I wanted my book to feel when I read it. So when that tenth page rolled around, it was never quite what I had envisioned.
However, as you know, I was also eight. I didn’t have the life experiences of a 35-year-old. My knowledge of interpersonal, societal, and geological dynamics were, shall we say, immature. They were, at best, received patterns from books that were themselves only representations of reality. But when one is eight, these considerations aren’t part of the equation. I continued to submit my stories to Young Authors, believing them to represent my merit alone. The contests would pass them over. Eventually, I took the silence as verdict, and I stopped writing fiction.
Why did my eight-year-old self still send those stories, even though I knew they weren’t as good as I wanted? I held out hope that somehow an adult would read them and see the diamond in the rough, and that I would be singled out, exempted from having to hold court in the desert, and someone would lead me all the way to the oasis in which I belonged. My stories were imperfect and barely started, just like me. I wanted an adult to see me as I hoped I was. I wanted an owl to deliver me a magical acceptance letter at eleven; I wanted to be the heir to an ancient kingdom.
Perhaps we want talent because, simply, we want to be chosen. It’s not so much I cared about being called gifted. It’s the fact that I had already learned, at eight, that no one would come hold me if I wasn’t. Talent is the name we give it because talent is what adults see—a marvelous performance, seemingly natural and magic, that comes from children. But children know more than what we give them credit for. I remember the work I put into those stories. I remember how badly I wanted them—and me—to be loved.
You’re not missing talent, JAT. You’re not missing external validation, either. You’re missing care.
When we’re coming into consciousness, we need other people to reflect to us not only our selves as we are but also the selves we could potentially be. Without that reflection, all we have are wild guesses in the dark. The vast, dark ocean. The endless dust of the desert. It’s not the endlessness of potential, but the endlessness of being lost.
Our first way finders, our markers, are the caretakers in our lives. They point in directions we might try to go in; they keep the lights on so we can find our ways back. It’s the absence of this attention that makes us feel that our risks were not enough, or that our risks are too great.
Your potential retreat has nothing to do with your love of writing. Rather, you seem to be at the precipice of a difficult truth of your life. That is, when you said at the end of your letter “that even if [you] worked as hard as [you] could, the best [you] could hope for is mediocrity,” you were talking about yourself. But is this really about you? Or have you, in your life, always been working this hard, only to receive mediocrity in return?
As children, we don’t have the worldly knowledge to understand our caretakers. We only have the power see them appear and disappear from our lives. We know that we want to be loved and will learn what we need to to get it. So we grow up, reinforced by the worldly systems that reward the same behavior: trying to improve our performances, then waiting for love. No one tells you, as a child, what you should have had.
Talent is the internalized, mythic substitute for what you deserved to have, but didn’t. You deserved safety and belonging. You deserved a stable place from which to roam. You deserved a way to fail without losing your worth, a number-one-fan you didn’t have to impress. You deserved someone who could tell you about the world; someone who could tell you that you already had a place in it.
It’s easier, in a way, to turn on ourselves as the reason for our pain. As children, it’s all we have to make sense of it. If it’s about who we are, then there’s hope that we can change and control it. For a while, proving that you had talent was the thing you could work at—it was the thing you could control. Improving over another year of classes, for example, or finally winning that contest. But with all these rejections, your fears are getting confirmed, and the hope you had is getting smaller.
It would be less painful to just give up. If you’re untalented, then the rejections can be explained away. There’s no reason for you to face the pain you truly feel when you receive them. There’s no embarrassment about your desire to be loved, because you can conclude that you’ll never be loved.
But is it true that you’ll never be loved? Yes, JAT, it may be time for you to take a break from writing, but not because you’re mediocre. The adult version of this industry, the talent-mongering side of it with its ulterior motives, has stripped the fun from what you love to do. I want you to take a break from that part, the part about being published and winning awards.
I want you to journal, instead, about the first time you ever wrote. What can you remember creating, from childhood to now? Who was there to witness it? Can you be the witness you never had? Go back and do your due diligence. Give love to that person for every attempt. Your writing can start with an audience of one. But at least it will be a genuine one.
Calling yourself untalented defends you from disappointment, but doing so means erasing all that you have done over these years. To do so means to keep out not only the rejections, but also every person who has tried to give you encouragement and care. It erases, especially, the thin light you’ve kept alive over the years, despite everything you’ve gone through and the neglect you’ve faced.
What ever happened to that eight-year-old? Well, I indeed stopped writing fiction, but only as an interlude. In the years after, I started drawing and playing violin. And some more years later, I would come upon a book of poetry at the library. I started writing for myself and thin light though it was, the path was lit enough to keep going. I stopped, again, when I didn’t win prizes. But this time, it was right before college, when my first-year literature professor would give us an option to write a story or an essay, and then, later, ask if I’d ever taken a writing class. The rest is history.
I had never stopped writing. I would choose it every chance I got. But I needed someone to notice me, someone to care. I’m not ashamed to admit this now because I know what it did for me. More than publications or prizes ever have, care told me not only that I mattered, but that I mattered to someone else.
Like me, you may not be able to keep writing without it, JAT, and it doesn’t have to come through writing. But don’t stop writing because you need it still, and it hasn’t yet arrived. The love you enact doesn’t have to look like the love you’ve received. Keep writing for yourself. Let your own light fill your life, and never let it out. Someone is on their way. Practice letting them stay when they arrive.

- Trim if Necessary: If the lashes are longer than your natural lash line, carefully trim the outer edges using small scissors to achieve the perfect fit.
- Apply Lash Adhesive: Using a high-quality lash adhesive, apply a thin, even layer along the lash band. Allow the adhesive to become tacky for a few seconds.
- Place the Lashes: Using tweezers or your fingers, carefully place the lashes along your natural lash line. Start from the center, then secure the inner and outer corners.
- Adjust and Secure: Gently adjust the placement of the lashes to ensure they sit comfortably and seamlessly blend with your natural lashes. Press down gently to secure the lashes in place.

UK exporters are expected to win contracts equivalent to over £100m after UK Export Finance unlocks financing for historic road and airport upgrades across Zanzibar, Tanzania.
- UK Export Finance underwrites €422 million of financing – equivalent to £373 million – for historic upgrades to 103km of Zanzibar’s road network and to Pemba Airport
- UK exporters are expected to win supply contracts equivalent to more than £100 million for these transformational projects
- Infrastructure upgrades set to boost Zanzibar’s island economy, which draws around a quarter of its annual GDP from tourism
UK government backing has enabled a financing package of €422 million – equivalent to £373 million – for transformational infrastructure projects driven by UK exporters across Zanzibar, Tanzania.
The financing was underwritten by UK Export Finance (UKEF), the UK government’s export credit agency, and enables two major projects: a historic upgrade to Pemba Airport – the smaller of two airports on the Zanzibar archipelago – and improvements to 103km of roads which will support connectivity and prosperity across Pemba and Unguja islands.
UKEF worked with Citi to unlock €180 million in loans for the airport upgrade and with Deutsche Bank to enable €242 million in loans for the road improvements. These projects will be completed through strategic joint ventures, with Propav Infraestructuras leading and collaborating with Mecco Ltd.
The terms of UKEF’s backing mean that these major projects are expected to create over £100 million in export opportunities for UK companies. This is a significant achievement in the context of UK exports to the whole of Tanzania, which totaled £275 million last year. This development will be a boost for the UK’s construction sector in particular, supporting this government’s priority of growing the economy.
Nigel Huddleston, Minister for International Trade, said:
Good local infrastructure is key to encouraging businesses to invest and work with local suppliers. This deal will support crucial development across Zanzibar, unlock new opportunities for UK companies in Africa, and grow sectors that will create jobs and boost the economy across our nations.
David Concar, British High Commissioner to Tanzania, said:
I couldn’t be more proud of this partnership. Developing countries need access to affordable infrastructure financing from reliable partners – and that is exactly what this initiative will deliver.
It underscores the UK government’s commitment to working in partnership with Tanzania to support inclusive, sustainable economic development, including on the islands of Zanzibar. Congratulations to UK Export Finance, Tanzania’s Ministry of Finance and Planning, the Government of Zanzibar and all other partners to the project for collaborating with such keen purpose to unlock this opportunity.
The works are a milestone in UK support for Commonwealth country Tanzania, improving land transport across Zanzibar and creating new horizons for trade on the archipelago.
Improvements at Pemba Airport will transform the domestic facility into a hub for international flights, which currently can only land on Unguja. By allowing overseas passengers to reach Pemba Island directly, the new project will unlock the economic potential of the second largest island in the Zanzibar archipelago.
The works are expected to substantially increase passenger capacity by extending the runway, adding new terminal buildings, and introducing other new infrastructure including a control tower. This will create opportunities for major new business and foreign investment in Zanzibar, whose vibrant tourism sector already contributes to around a quarter of the islands’ annual income.
The UK-enabled road upgrades across Unguja and Pemba – the archipelago’s two largest islands – will expand three major roads to four lanes each whilst fitting them with street lighting and additional paving. This is expected to reduce congestion whilst improving connectivity and safety.
Hon. Dr. Mwigulu Lameck Nchemba, Minister of Finance and Planning of the United Republic of Tanzania, said:
I would like to emphasize the significant role that signing the loan agreements holds in financing infrastructure projects. These agreements will enable us to address critical infrastructure needs, boost tourism and improve the quality of life for our citizens.
By securing this financing, we can embark on vital infrastructure development that will lay the foundation for a prosperous and sustainable future.
Hon. Dr. Saada Mkuya Salum, Minister of State, President’s Office Finance and Planning of the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, said:
These loan agreements are not just a transaction, but a strategic step towards the realization of our nation’s goals and aspirations. This financial infusion will empower our government, fostering economic growth and enabling innovative ventures through completion of these two crucial projects.
Cristiano Becker Hees, Financial Structuring and Institutional Relations Director of Propav Infraestructuras, said:
We are excited to be part of these two ambitious projects that will have a significant positive impact. The expansion of Pemba Airport will create an international gateway, generating local employment and boosting regional trade.
Simultaneously, the construction of 103km of roads in Zanzibar will enhance mobility and connectivity, driving economic growth. We take great pride in our involvement, working alongside esteemed British companies to ensure the quality of these projects.
The deal also comes following the introduction last month of the UK’s new post-Brexit Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS). The Scheme removes or reduces tariffs on UK trade with 65 countries that are home to over 3.3 billion people, including Tanzania. This allows developing countries greater access to the UK market than was possible under previous, EU-led regulatory frameworks.
Notes to Editors
UK Export Finance (UKEF) is the UK’s export credit agency and a government department, working alongside the Department for Business and Trade as an integral part of its strategy and operations. Established in 1919, its mission is to advance prosperity by ensuring no viable UK export fails for lack of finance or insurance, doing that sustainably and at no net cost to the taxpayer. UKEF announced on 28 June its latest annual report, which shows that it offered new, direct support of £6.5 billion to UK exporters and supported up to 55,000 domestic UK jobs in the financial year 2022-23.
In Zanzibar, UKEF has specifically enabled:
- €180m of loans arranged through Citi for the upgrade of Pemba Airport, inclusive of a premium charged by UKEF. These loans are a mixture of lending from Citi which has been enabled by a UKEF buyer credit loan guarantee, and direct lending from UKEF which was issued through Citi. The financing allows Zanzibar’s Ministry of Infrastructure, Communication and Transport to contract Pemba Airport Construction Consortium Limited to undertake works. Pemba Airport is the smaller of two airports on the Zanzibar archipelago, with the largest being Abeid Amani Karume International Airport on Unguja Island.
- €242m of loans arranged through Deutsche Bank for the upgrade of three major roads in Zanzibar, inclusive of a premium charged by UKEF. These loans are a mixture of lending from Deutsche Bank which has been enabled by a UKEF buyer credit loan guarantee, and direct lending from UKEF which was issued through Deutsche Bank. The financing allows Zanzibar’s Ministry of Infrastructure, Communication and Transport to contract Propav and Mecco Zanzibar Road Construction Limited to undertake works.
The UKEF-enabled road upgrades will affect the following specific stretches of road, which include roads on both islands of the Zanzibar archipelago:
- Tunguu-Makunduchi (48km) in Unguja South Region
- Fumba-Kisauni (12km) in Unguja West Urban Region
- Mkoani – Chake Chake with Pemba Airport Spur (43.5km) on Pemba Island.
The loans allow the delivery of infrastructure upgrades expected to involve significant UK export content sourced by contractors from the UK supply chain.
UKEF has a total ‘risk appetite’ of up to £2 billion with which it can support buyers in Tanzania interested in UK exports. |

172 is unlike any other Vegas night spot, featuring not only a state of the art sound and light system, but also a menu featuring sushi and Asian fusion fare. No chicken fingers here! Talent buyer Patrick Pulsar Trout has loaded the stage with local, regional and national acts in the first 2 months of the club being open, and he dared to take a band so grungy they have two bass players and put them on the stage.
The result was gratifying.
The Melvins, featuring original members Buzz Osborne on lead vocals and guitar and Dale Crover (who had a short stint as Nirvana’s drummer pre-Dave Grohl) are wall to wall noise and avant-garde story telling.
Opening with “The Kicking Machine” from 2008’s Nude with Boots, the band is a sonic blast. With thunderous low end courtesy of bassists Steven Shane McDonald, formerly of Redd Cross, and Jeff Pinkus, originally of Butthole Surfers, and Crover’s tight, hard-hitting drumming, the band lays a solid foundation for Osborne’s mid-range heavy guitar tone and vocals. Leading directly into “Anaconda” from 1991’s Bullhead, the band didn’t give the packed house any time to catch their breath.
Buzz stalks the stage looking like a mad scientist, with his trade mark frizzy hair now pure white. The band gave credence to their roots by playing some covers of Green River (“Leech”), Malfunkshun (“With Yo’ Heart, Not Yo’ Hands”), and even threw in some Rollings Stones and James Gang for good measure.
While the Melvin’s may not have had the sales nor chart success of other Washington/Seattle based bands- their influence is everywhere. One listen to “Honey Bucket” or “Revolve” and it’s pretty easy to see how a young Kurt Cobain came to find his voice.
As godfathers of the Alternative rock scene, they have been going for over 30 years now, putting out at least one record a year and touring non-stop. Watching the crowd, which had just as many 20 somethings as it did 50 year olds, they have garnered respect that is usually reserved for bands selling out arenas. Even their merch booth was almost sold out by the time they tore in to “Evil New War God”. With no signs of stopping, and are worth going to see at any venue.
As for Club 172, the club is a great alternative to the dive bar seen, and with menu, it makes for an all around great night out in Vegas.

At a Glance
- Long-lasting battery
- Smooth, simple software
- Snazzy design
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Inconsistent camera
- No IP waterproofing
- Average performance
- LCD panel
The Realme 9 Pro is a good all-round Android that won’t hurt your wallet. Despite a sometimes inconsistent camera and ok performance, it provides excellent battery life, user-friendly software and a sharp design.
Realme is back this year with its 9 series, which features three different smartphones: the 9i, 9 Pro and 9 Pro+. It’s the middle chile on test in this review, looking at everything from the flashy design and 120Hz display to its 5000mAh battery and solid performance.
So, how does it compare to its siblings, as well as other smartphones in its price range? Let’s find out.
Design & Build
- Round-edged design
- Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
- No IP rating
- Plastic frame and back
The Realme 9 Pro may be an affordable Android, but it punches above its price tag as far as its design goes. This is defined by a plastic rear with a scintillating Light Shift Chameleon paint job, coming in either Aurora Green, Midnight Black or Sunrise Blue. What this means is that it changes colour and tone when catching the light from different angles, creating a kind of phosphorescent sheen.
Aside from the eye-catching rear, the Realme 9 Pro features an edge-to-edge 6.6in touchscreen with relatively narrow bezels and a punch-hole selfie camera in the top-right of its display. Volume buttons are on the left-hand side of the phone while the power button-cum-fingerprint sensor is on the right.
In contrast to iPhones and some more recent Androids, the phone thankfully carries a 3.5mm headphone jack, findable on the left-hand side of its bottom edge where you’ll also find the USB-C port.
The Realme 9 Pro measures in at 164 x 76 x 8.5mm, making it (counterintuitively) bigger than the Realme 9 Pro+, but smaller than something like the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ or the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
It weighs 195g, so 13g heavier than the 9 Pro+. However, it’s still noticeably lighter than many other devices in its bracket, and while it’s a relatively large phone, it never once felt too cumbersome or ungainly in my medium-sized hands.
Despite having a pleasing design and solid build the phone falls down a little in terms of its durability. It lacks an official IP rating, so owners should probably be careful with it around water and sand or dust.
Screen & Speakers
- 6.6in LCD IPS panel
- Full HD+ resolution
- 120Hz refresh rate
The Realme 9 Pro uses a 6.6in display, with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2412 x 1080 pixels. Interestingly, the LCD IPS panel is in contrast to the Super AMOLED screens you can find on the Realme 9 and Realme 9 Pro+ (though they are both 90Hz).
Despite having only an LCD panel, the 9 Pro’s display is decent enough, without being spectacular. Videos and images are crisp, while the support for a 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling smoother, although perhaps not as smooth as you see with other 120Hz Androids with more powerful processors.
It’s a similar story with the display’s brightness. Averaging at around 430 nits, it’s bright enough as far as affordable Android devices are concerned, yet most users will encounter instances where they need to manually adjust the screen to make images or videos more legible.
There is an auto-brightness feature, which is generally responsive enough to changes in ambient light, while the Eye Comfort mode – which filters out blue light – also makes the overall visual experience a pretty decent one, for the price.
The speaker sounds surprisingly good for music and movies, so long as you don’t crank the volume too high. Sure, it can’t compete with stereo phones, but if you’re short of earphones the phone can do a job for you every now and again.
Specs & Performance
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G
- Up to 8GB RAM
- 128GB of storage (expandable up to 1TB)
The Realme 9 Pro runs on a Qualcomm SM6375 Snapdragon 695 5G processor, a chip you’ll also find on the Redmi Note 11 Pro, OnePlus Nord N20 5G and Poco X4 Pro 5G. Qualcomm used a 6nm manufacturing process for the 695, enabling it to fit more transistors into a smaller space, meaning it’s faster than previous generations of chips that used 7nm and 8nm processes.
The phone employs 6GB of RAM as standard, although my review unit benefitted from 8GB, which will cost a bit extra (although 8GB appears to be the only option in the UK).
It also offers 128GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, with no option to have a slightly more expensive model with 256GB or 512GB of memory. Fortunately, you can find a microSD card slot in the SIM card cavity, enabling users to save more files and apps.
Overall, performance is decent without being exceptional. Most apps launch quickly, while the phone can usually handle having multiple apps open at the same time. As far as games go, playing PUBG Mobile and Need for Speed No Limits present the Realme 9 Pro with no real difficulties, although I did occasionally notice some lag when playing Need for Speed.
As such, gamers who intend to play the latest, most intensive titles may want to consider looking at more powerful models.
The Realme 9 Pro’s benchmarks are fine for a phone in its price range, although they’re hardly spectacular. A number of its rivals beat it in most categories, including the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, and Poco X4 Pro.
It is generally faster than the cheaper Redmi Note 11 though, as well as the Realme 9i, as you’d expect.
- 64Mp f/1.8 main camera
- 8Mp f/2.2 ultrawide
- 2Mp f/2.4 macro
- 16Mp f/2.1 front camera
The Realme 9 Pro’s rear camera setup includes a 64Mp main shooter with a f/1.8 aperture (the popular Sony IMX766 we’ve seen on lots of phones), an 8Mp ultrawide lens, and a 2Mp macro lens. It also features a 16Mp selfie camera with an f/2.1 aperture on its front.
This kind of triple-lens setup is in line with much of the mid-range Android market right now, yet unfortunately the Realme 9 Pro doesn’t quite keep up with most of its peers. While its 64Mp main lens can take some very rich and colourful photos in good natural light, its quality tends to dip in almost all other conditions.
For instance, clouds can tend to look too oppressive and dark on overcast days, in a way that disturbs the overall balance of pictures. Likewise, the camera also doesn’t cope too well with low light and darker conditions, with noise and a loss of detail infiltrating photos as the evenings mature.
This is particularly the case at night, even when using the dedicated Night Mode. Still, if you know how to frame your shots and choose the right environments, you can take some rewarding pics.
The 8Mp ultrawide lens is useful in taking the odd panoramic shot, such as landscapes and natural areas. Again, pictures can be pretty if you have enough patience, but with fewer megapixels, it doesn’t provide as much detail or clarity as the 64Mp wide lens. Then again, it compares well enough to ultrawide lenses on other affordable Androids, and it does come in handy every now and again.
The Realme 9 Pro also offers a few special camera modes, including an Ultra Macro and Starry Mode. As its name suggests, Ultra Macro is designed for close-ups, and is used with the 2Mp macro lens. Unfortunately, most close-ups I took with the main 64Mp lens were noticeably more accomplished and shareable than those I capture using Ultra Macro, so most people will probably find little occasion to use it.
Something similar goes for Starry Mode, which uses AI to make shots involving the night sky more, well, starry. It’s a nice enough add-on, but you do actually have to hold the camera still for just over four minutes to use it, so it won’t be for everyone.
All in all, the Realme 9 Pro is a good phone for taking straightforward photos that can be shared on social media and kept as memories. Its 16Mp front-facing lens is also effective at taking flattering selfies, particularly when used with Portrait Mode. However, if you want to do more with it, you may be left feeling a little bit disappointed.
Turning to video, the phone tops out at 1080p at 60fps, so no 4K or 8K cinematography for the film buffs out there. Videos shot using the phone still look presentable, although there’s no optical image stabilisation (OIS), so you will need a steady hand or some kind of tripod if you’re serious about what you’re filming.
Battery Life & Charging
- 5000mAh battery
- 33W fast charging
- Adapter included
The Realme 9 Pro’s 5000mAh battery is one of its biggest selling points, with the phone capable of surviving long stints without needing a recharge. Very light users can last two or three days without reaching 0% charge, while heavier users will easily make it through 24 hours before having to get the charger out.
In the PCMark Work 3.0 battery test, the phone lastest a whopping 18 hours and 30 minutes, even with its display set to 120Hz. This is largely thanks to that efficient 6nm Snapdragon chipset.
The phone also comes with a 33W mains charger, which is capable of fast charging. While it doesn’t compare to the super-fast chargers we now see with OnePlus and Xiaomi phones, for instance, it can go from empty to 100% in about one and a half hours.
In our usual 30-minute test, the Realme 9 Pro reached a decent 50%, so while it isn’t the fastest, its charging capabilities should please all but the most impatient or time-starved of users.
Wireless charging fans may be disappointed though since the 9 Pro doesn’t support this. Still, with a capacious battery and a fast enough mains charger, it really does offer great value for its price.
Software & Apps
- Android 12
- Realme UI 3.0
- Two years of OS upgrades
In contrast to other affordable Androids like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 range, the Realme 9 Pro operates on Android 12 right out of the box, with Realme UI 3.0 running over it. The latter isn’t one of the most exciting Android skins available at the moment, but it does have the advantage of being simple to use, with a clear and uncluttered interface.
The advantage of having a relatively straightforward operating system is that it tends to work smoothly, with little in the way of slow loading times or unresponsiveness. Everything is appreciably fast, from opening apps to changing settings.
An added bonus is that I rarely encountered any unwelcome freezes or hitches, with Wi-Fi connections remaining intact and notifications being delivered when they should.
Despite its comparative simplicity, Realme UI 3.0 does offer scope for customisation and personalisation. Its colour scheme and fonts can be changed to suit the user’s tastes, while icons can be resized to give the OS a different feel.
On top of this, there are a small handful of special features, including floating windows, a Kid Space for limiting your child’s usage of the phone, as well as a Simple Mode for streamlining things even further.
One negative, however, is that Realme appears to be promising only two years of core software updates for the 9 Pro. This means users will reach only as far as Android 14, at which point owners will have to upgrade if they want to stay current. That said, they will receive two additional years of security updates, so the phone will remain perfectly usable after it receives its final core upgrade.
Price & Availability
The Realme 9 Pro is available in the UK for £299, which gives you the version with 8GB of RAM as well as the standard 128GB of internal memory. In Europe, the 6GB version costs €319.99 from Realme, while the 8GB model goes for €349.99.
The phone isn’t available in the United States or the rest of the Americas, but it is officially for sale in India from ₹18,999 and elsewhere in Asia.
Mid-range and budget Androids are a crowded market, so the Realme 9 Pro isn’t short of rivals. This includes the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G (£319), Poco X4 Pro 5G (£259), and OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G (£299).
Other potential alternatives can be found in our articles on the best Realme phones and the best mid-range phones.
The Realme 9 Pro arguably has a misleading name, given that its camera and performance don’t always operate at a professional standard.
Still, it earns its place among other affordable mid-range Androids for a number of reasons, with its enduring battery, enjoyable display and easy software arguably enough to sway users who prefer practicality over state-of-the-art power.
Just make sure you check out the competition as there are many great phones around this price point.

The world’s largest stablecoin, Tether, completed a significant milestone today, announcing that it had slashed its commercial paper holdings to zero. According to a blog post, the commercial paper holdings have been replaced by U.S. Treasury bills.
The move sees $30 billion of commercial paper removed from the stablecoin’s reserves.
A Significant Milestone
Tether has announced that it has completely removed commercial paper from its reserves. The announcement is significant since it means the stablecoin has removed $30 billion worth of commercial paper from its reserves. Tether had previously committed to reducing its commercial paper holdings and has done so, gradually removing them before today’s announcement.
Tether issues USDT, the world’s most traded crypto asset and largest stablecoin, has come under some criticism from regulators. This is because of the lack of clarity around its reserves and what it consists of. Tether has stated that today’s announcement will help it achieve the required levels of transparency. Tether announced on Twitter,
“Tether is proud to announce that we have completely eliminated commercial paper from our reserves. This is evidence of our commitment to back our tokens with the most secure, liquid reserves in the market. Tether has eliminated over $30 billion of commercial paper without any losses, proof of how Tether’s reserves are conservatively and professionally managed. Tether has also increased its direct exposure to U.S. Treasuries by more than $10 billion in the last quarter.”
Ongoing Effort To Increase Transparency
The move to remove commercial paper comes against the backdrop of increased calls for better transparency. Additionally, Tether has gone on record stating that it was looking to improve the quality of its reserves. The company stated in its blog post,
“This announcement comes as part of Tether’s ongoing efforts to increase transparency, with investor protection at the core of the management of Tethers’ reserves. Reducing commercial papers to zero demonstrates Tether’s commitment to backing its tokens with the most secure reserves in the market.”
Data has shown that there are over 68 billion USDT in circulation, a significant increase from three years ago. Earlier this year, rumors swirled around the makeup of Tether’s reserves, speculating that Chinese and Asian commercial papers backed a portion of Tether’s commercial paper reserves. Tether denied these rumors, stating that they were fabricated to create further panic in an already stressed market.
Tether’s Trust Issues
Tether has had several run-ins with regulators in the past. Last year, the company had to pay a multimillion-dollar fine following a legal tussle with the New York attorney general’s office. This was after regulators raised concerns about the viability of the stablecoin issuer’s reserves. The collapse of Tether also had a significant impact on the market, with investors losing billions due to the collapse.
The collapse resulted in a domino effect, with other stablecoins, including Tether, losing their peg to the dollar. Tether has claimed that all of its tokens are backed 1:1 by dollars held in reserve. However, the settlement with the New York AG’s office revealed another picture. Under the settlement, Tether disclosed that it relied on various other assets, including commercial paper, to support the stablecoin.
Tether’s Chief Technology Officer, Paolo Ardoino, has previously stated that the company is prepared for any amount of redemptions. However, New York AG Letitia James at the time contended that Tether had, at times, no reserves to back its dollar peg, adding that the company had no access to banking from mid-2017 and had misled clients about its liquidity issues. Critics have also alleged that Tether tokens were used to manipulate Bitcoin, a claim the company denies.

“In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” It’s a rhyme many people remember from their elementary school days, when they learned about the different explorers who came to the Americas in the 15th and 16th centuries, including Christopher Columbus.
People in the United States have been holding celebrations of Columbus since 1792, when the Society of St. Tammany, also known as the Columbian Order, commemorated the 300th anniversary of his landing in the “New World.” (Ironically, the Columbian Order appropriated language from the very peoples who suffered because of their eponymous hero: adopting a legendary Delaware chief as their patron and using titles like “brave” and “sachem” for their members.)
On the next centennial, in 1892, President Benjamin Harrison issued a proclamation encouraging Americans to celebrate Columbus’ discovery and the four centuries of American life he’d enabled, describing the Renaissance explorer as “the pioneer of progress and enlightenment.” In honoring Columbus, Harrison also hoped to encourage acceptance of Italian immigrants, who shared a heritage with the Renaissance explorer and had been violently attacked in the United States. In 1934, President Franklin Roosevelt declared Columbus Day a federal holiday.
In 2021, the United States officially added another designation to October’s second Monday: Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The proclamation followed decades of protest against Columbus Day celebrations, as awareness of the explorer’s horrific conduct towards Indigenous people increased. Many had begun to ask: Why celebrate such plundering and pillaging?
Italian Americans have a rich history in New Jersey. Today we honor the achievements, successes, and heritage of Italian immigrants and Italian Americans. #ColumbusDay— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) October 10, 2022
In 1990, South Dakota became the first state to officially recognize Columbus Day as Native American Day, reported the New York Times. And in 1992, Berkeley, California, became the first city to declare Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Each year since then, the city has celebrated with a pow wow and Indian market, organized by local residents.From early romanticism of Columbus’ New World voyage to complicated commemorations of Indigenous culture and history, here’s a timeline showing the evolution of celebrations on October’s second Monday. |

I joined the ATB 2013 for my PhD as a passionate biologist interested in tumor biology and biochemistry under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Kopitz and Dr. Gebert. During my PhD I mainly focused on deciphering the contribution of glycan-binding proteins, called Galectins, on colon cancer tumorigenesis in an in vitro model system. After my graduation in 2017 I have continued working in this field as a postdoctoral researcher.
Apart from studying molecular alterations during colon carcinogenesis in humans I currently investigate molecular alterations in a mouse model for microsatellite unstable cancers. This project aims to identify potential tumors drivers that could be used for vaccination strategies in a clinical setting in the future. Both projects share the enthusiasm for basic tumor biology which represents the fundament for translating basic research into clinical application. |
The heart of the home is in the kitchen. As a child I can remember waking up to the aromas of pancakes, fried bacon and sausage, maple syrup and coffee flooding my senses. I'd happily throw my feet over the side of the bed and hurry down the stairs to find my dear momma flipping bunny shaped pancakes in her chenille robe and fuzzy slippers. I'd cleverly work my way around the kitchen trying to steal a taste before it was ready and I think she secretly got sweet satisfaction over knowing how excited I was to sample her delicious spread.
I recall hot summer days playing outside for hours and then hearing Momma's voice call us in for a tasty bowl of ice cream drizzled with her famous hot fudge sauce. I could never resist going over to the stove and dipping my finger in the pot of hot fudge and getting my hand slapped away. Memories of standing at the counter plucking the ends off garden grown string beans, and slicing vine ripe tomatoes and cucumbers makes my mouth water and seems as though it was just yesterday. Then there were those days after school when the second I stepped into the house I'd get a whiff of her homemade chicken pot pie with another sweet smell lingering in the air…..CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES! As I think back, so many amazing memories begin in the kitchen. Late nights where the family sat around the kitchen table visiting and playing pinochle and skip bo; the kitchen counter lined with tasty treats to pick at. The refrigerator door adorned with pictures of my adorable nieces, cousin's weddings, some not so cute school pictures (that I actually care not to remember haha), and my little brother's latest water color paintings, soccer schedules, and bible verses. There was no better place to practice my new dance moves and spins while mom stood at the stove stirring a pot of the family's secret spaghetti sauce.
My Mom's kitchen cabinets in particular were hand painted in "cavern table blue." I remember when she painted them. I remember my niece gliding around the kitchen in her baby walker banging into them. The "cavern table blue" color also made the backdrop for so many sweet pictures of her. I recall spilling the milk down the cabinets as I went to pour myself a glass and then frustratingly wiping up every last drop. Another time my mom was standing at the counter (in her very pregnant state might I add) and a mouse decided to scurry through the kitchen and under her feet. I still laugh as I picture her in a complete panic trying to lift her pregnant belly over the counter to get her feet off the ground to escape such a threat. So many memories. The heart of the home is in the kitchen. |

The most common scenarios when you might want to unite two colonies of bees include:
- When one of them is queenless;
- When one of them has a vile queen and you are about to make them queenless;
- When one or both colonies are too weak in the approach to winter.
Most bee books will tell you to unite the two using the ‘newspaper method’ This is where a sheet of newspaper (or two), primed with a pinprick (or two), is placed between the two colonies to be united – one on top of the other of course.
The rationale is that the newspaper prevents immediate contact between the two and acts as a sort of a timer – the bees can smell each other through the paper and by the time they have chewed their way through they ‘know’ each other and will not fight.
Generally, it works well but there are certain criteria for a successful outcome:
- One of the two colonies should be queenless;
- Any queen cells must be removed from the queenless half or the bees may not be receptive to the other queen, they might initiate supersedure and they might even swarm;
- There must be no open brood with the queenless colony – or they might build queen cells before they unite, then swarm or use these cells to replace your good queen when they do;
- And you’d better check there’s no queen cells in the other half either – you know what they’re like!
But there are other reasons for uniting bees and there are other ways of doing it…

It’s Memorial Day Weekend and the official kick-off to summer! We all love summer BBQs, but to be honest, the food can get a little… boring.
For me, it was all about making something simple, that mixed sweet and savory (my new favorite flavor combination) and to put it into one punchy little appetizer bite.
Introducing my peach basil bruschetta with goat cheese served on graham crackers!
What’s so tasty about this bruschetta is that layered on top of the crunchy sweetness from the graham crackers, is the tangy creaminess of the goat cheese, the hit from the ripe peaches, the earthiness from the basil, the pop of acid from the vinegar, the mellowness from the olive oil, and the pucker from the lemon.
What makes this dish stand out is that it is quick to make, it’s bright and full of summer flavors, and it would be an absolute hit at your next BBQ this summer.
Peach Basil Bruschetta with Goat Cheese
Makes 12 bruschetta
Prep time: 15 minutes
- 12 graham crackers
- 1 cup creamy goat cheese
- 4 ripe peaches cut into small cubes
- 10 big basil leaves cut into strips
- 1 lemon
- Dash of balsamic vinegar for each bruschetta
Add juice from one lemon to your bowl of cut up peaches.
Spread goat cheese on each of the graham crackers. Layer a tablespoon of peaches on top of the goat cheese.
Add a sprinkling of salt and a small dash of balsamic vinegar.
Garnish with 3-4 strips of basil.
Serve cool and enjoy!
I served mine on a pretty white platter on my red checkered picnic blanket. I thought they each looked like a little bite of summer and the perfect snack for the holiday weekend.
My family thought so, too, because they were gone in in seconds flat.
We served them with some homemade lemonade from our lemon tree. I love summer and all its flavors! |
|4-D Meat at a Commercial Dog Track
At dog tracks across the country, greyhounds are fed 4-D meat. In light of the Daytona incident, here are seven things you might not know about this standard practice.
- 4-D stands for dying, diseased, disabled and dead livestock. This meat is deemed unfit for human consumption, and includes denatured charcoal to prevent human use.
- According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the use of 4-D meat in the racing industry is a potential health hazard. According to an FDA Compliance Policy Guide, the use of 4-D meat at dog tracks "may present a potential health hazard to the animals that consume it and to the people who handle it." The FDA also considers 4-D meat an "adulterated" product, and its shipment across state lines "is subject to appropriate regulatory action."
- Multiple studies have proven a direct link between 4-D meat and dangerous pathogens, including Salmonella. Also, according to an industry expert, racing greyhounds suffer from foodborne illnesses that other dogs do not. In a 1996 article, Dr. Brad Fenwick claimed that "foodborne diseases in dogs appear to be rare with the exception of greyhounds in the United States."
- Greyhound trainers use 4-D meat as a way to cut costs. According to industry handbook Care of the Racing and Retired Greyhound, 4-D meat is used because "it is the most economically feasible for the Greyhound industry at this time." This same handbook also reports problems associated with the use of this meat, including exposure to pathogenic bacteria and false drug positives.
- Greyhounds are fed 4-D meat raw. Cooking the meat would remove dangerous pathogens, but greyhound trainers refuse to do so because they are afraid of negatively affecting race performance.
- The use of raw 4-D meat at dog tracks is banned in South Tucson, Arizona. This prohibition was approved by local voters in 2008. Unfortunately, it's not clear whether this law has ever been enforced.
- This cheap meat is used at every dog track in the country. According to a 2003 letter from the National Greyhound Association, the NGA is "unaware of any professional Greyhound kennels or farms that use any other classification of meat as a major part of their Greyhound feeding programs."
|4-D meat is mixed in large bathtubs at the track
The use of cheap 4-D meat is another example of how the dog racing industry cuts corners. The industry seeks to maximize the profit margin for every dog, at the expense of animal welfare. Unfortunately, greyhounds are continuing to suffer as a result of this recklessness. |
As a British manufacturer, a British owned company and a family run business, we were very excited this morning to see BBC Breakfast covering a story about a family who have pledged to only buy British made products for a full year. The family will be blogging about their journey on their own blog site www.britishfamily.co.uk.
The family were driven to this extreme following recent press stories, highlighting some major international brands and retailers who have allegedly avoided paying taxes. The family have already gotten off to a challenging start, with many of the products they have come across, being somewhat misleading in their packaging – they perhaps carry a Union Jack on their packaging, but have in fact been manufactured overseas. Likewise, when doing their weekly supermarket shop they are discovering many products which have been grown or prepared overseas, but then are marked as being ‘packaged in Britain’.
As an earlier backer of Stove UK’s Made in Britain Campaign, this is a subject that is close to our hearts. There are many reasons as to why we should be supporting British Manufacturers. There are of course the obvious reasons: by buying British you are supporting the UK economy, UK manufacturing and local jobs. In the current economic climate, this can only be a positive. But if that isn’t reason enough, here are some of our thoughts on why you should choose British bathrooms products specifically:
Minimising impact on the Environment
Buying products that have been manufactured in the UK ensures the carbon footprint of a product is kept to a minimum, in several ways:
- The carbon produced when shipping products.
- The carbon produced as part of the production process. Within the UK we have legislation in place which ensures we strive to minimise our impact on the environment.
- In developing economies (where outsourced manufacture may often take place), these countries don’t have the same environmental legislation in place as we are used to in the UK, which aims to keep carbon output to a minimum.
Products that have been designed and manufactured in the UK, for the UK, are made specifically with the British bathroom in mind:
- Many UK bathrooms (older properties in particular) often have walls that are out of true, so they are designed with some adjustment to allow for this.
- UK bathrooms are often small in size, we create products to work around any space restrictions so that no matter what size or shape bathroom you have, both a showering and bathing facility can be included.
- We have spent time solving common problems in UK housing stock such as door frame positions and window height and widths – these are specific problem solving products that exist solely for the UK market.
- Finally, we also understand the way we tile and often work with recessed trays, so the enclosures are deigned to suit this for a straight-forward installation.
British manufacturers are aware of design trends and habits in the bathroom and create products which look stylish and appealing to this market, but that are also practical for users:

At the very end of 1965 Dylan began working on Blonde on Blonde, and according to the information that has been provided by various sources, across the early part of 1966 the pattern of work involved him writing a song while the musicians waited, then teaching them the song, and then recording it several times until he had got a take he liked.
From November 1965 to March 1966 he worked on the songs. The resultant album was issued sometime around July (curiously there is a fair amount of argument as to when it was actually released!) Immediately after the recording of the double album was concluded Dylan extemporised one more song – “If I was a king” in a hotel bedroom.
Shortly after the release of the album Bob Dylan had his motorcycle accident, and he stopped writing.
Until writing this article in the series that considers Dylan year by year, taking the songs in the order they were written, I had thought of Blonde on Blonde as a double album I bought in my young days, and I thought of it in terms of what was on each of the four sides of the LP. Sad Eyed Lady, as we all know, occupied one side. Visions of Johanna and One of us must know – by far my absolute favourite tracks on the album, were thankfully next to each other and I would pick up the stylus time and again to play those two songs on side 1. Side 3 had five songs, and so used was I to thinking of them as a sequence, that I reviewed them in the order they appear on the album, on this site, without any thought that maybe that was not the order they were written in.
But having reviewed these songs at odd times in the past few years, for this site, I find that when I come to look at the songs in the sequence they were written, a totally different album emerges. An album that is much more about Dylan’s frame of mind as he worked through the writing of the songs. A set of songs that makes me draw a conclusion as to what the motorcycle accident that followed the album was all about.
Here I will try and explain this new “understanding” if I may call it that, that comes from considering the album not in the way it is laid down on the LP or CD, but in the order in which the songs were written.
Visions of Johanna was the only song written the previous year – the last song of 1965. The song is a monument; for many years my all time absolute favourite Dylan song, replaced only when, for this site, I studied Tell Ol Bill over and over and over, and began to understand what an incredible piece that is.
But to return to Visions, it is a song like no other pop or rock song before it. A semi-abstract painting. A set of pictures in the mists; suggestions, ideas, implications, half heard sounds. This was the starting point.
But when one starts on a project as momentous as a complete double album of new material with something as gigantic as Visions, what on earth is the composer going to do next?
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again was what came next, and it seems to be a jolly conundrum with hints of links to WC Handy, but rather like Johanna, nothing very clear. It’s fun, seemingly a lightheared tribute to the music of the past that Bob loves.
But then, but then….
Bob Dylan’s “Sad Eyed Lady” is mysterious and removed from the everyday world like Visions, but this time about a person with whom Dylan is deeply in love. Johanna, Louise and Little Boy Lost were observed from the distance. The Lady is seen close up, although her messages and intents are not always clear.
Having written that monument of a song in one night, Dylan moved on and with Fourth Time Around suddenly we are back to the old format of disdain – disdain of the lady, and quite possibly of the Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood”. You don’t get much more disdainful that lines like When she said “Don’t waste your words, they’re just lies” I cried she was deaf.
This is one hell of a transformation. From Visions in which Dylan peers through the mists with understanding and to some degree sympathy, and where even criticism is muted (OK there is nothing to turn off, but it doesn’t really seem to matter), on to Sad Eyed Lady, so carefully etched and recorded, image by image.
And they, just pure disdain. And the disdain continues with Leopard skin pill-box hat, He’s laughing at the lady, there is no sense of understanding here.
I wonder if at this moment Dylan thought the disdain element in his writing was getting too strong for next in the sequence of writing we have one of Dylan’s all-time great songs of lost love and leaving (both themes, it seems to me combined in this epic) with One of us must know (sooner or later).
Humility returns – it is the singer who didn’t meant to treat her so bad. He really is sorry.
And besides just how much atmosphere do you want in a song? Consider the lines
I couldn’t see when it started snowing
Your voice was all that I heard
If that isn’t atmosphere within two lines I really don’t know what is. If I may be permitted to quote myself at this point (and I really do try and avoid this)
One of Us Must Know is the ultimate song of farewell, self justification and (to a small degree) apology. And anyone who has been left by another whom they so deeply loved must feel this song inside out and from heart and soul.
I didn’t mean to treat you so bad
You shouldn’t take it so personal
I didn’t mean to make you so sad
You just happened to be there, that’s all
I once, years later, have a lady say that same sort of thing to me, although without such a clever use of language, and it is one of the most hurtful things you can ever have said to you. “You just happened to be there, that’s all” reduces you to nothing.
But to return to the writing of Blonde on Blonde, track by track, if we pause at this point we can surely see there is a little, but only a very little, relief here. Stuck inside of Mobile, could well be a song about not being able to find new themes and new ideas, and although that is a lighter song, matters don’t really improve thereafter.
And they don’t improve because we now have She’s your lover now which is more than a song of disdain (in that the songs of disdain were written about one person) – this is seemingly about disdain for two people.
The problem with the song however is that it is too similar (musically and emotionally) to Sooner or Later, and so had to be dropped.
Dylan then clearly tried to change his ways, for Absolutely Sweet Marie which was written next at last gives us a lighter note – but I think it is worth pausing here to see just how many songs of disdain, despair and leaving Dylan had processed to get to this point. He’d ended the previous year with his mysterious epic Johanna, and started this year in a fairly positive if mysterious and fairly light hearted way, but now, unlike every year up to this point Dylan was using songs to deliver a ceaseless attack on people Dylan didn’t like. He really was getting annoyed with people – and in particular with women.
And if we hadn’t quite got the message, we get “With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls” from Just like a woman – a love song this ain’t. It was attack, disdain and dislike, over and over.
Indeed I think that by the time of Pledging my time Bob had had enough. After all what else makes such a great lyricist write
Well, early in the mornin’
’Til late at night
I got a poison headache
But I feel all right
I’m pledging my time to you
Hopin’ you’ll come through, too
Indeed as the writing continued, with the band waiting for the next song to emerge from the master, the pressures seems to be telling. In Most likely you go your way and I’ll go mine we get
Sometimes it gets so hard to care
It can’t be this way ev’rywhere
Taken in isolation it could just be a line to fit in a song – when we look at the whole cycle of songs being composed one after the other, I believe a different meaning emerges. He’s really, really feeling the pressure of writing and recording this album, while the band sit around waiting.
The theme continues in Temporary Like Achilles with lines such as ” How come you don’t send me no regards?” He’s become lost, alone, isolated, unsure.
This state of mind probably explains the most curious departure from the dominant theme at this point into Rainy Day Women – quite unlike anything that he had done before. One thing is certain – everyone really is now against him big time, and the only way out is for everyone to get stoned.
Obviously Five Believers continues this feeling of isolation. It is a variant 12 bar blues, and a very simple song, but the message by now has become remorseless.
Yes, I could make it without you
If I just did not feel so all alone
This is a cry for help.
But then suddenly right at the death, Dylan finds his faith again, and composes a much lighter tune – I want you He’s walked the streets at 3am, and has lost all sense of purpose and all sense of direction, before suddenly he finds at the very end that he does indeed have someone to believe in.
In a very real sense, “I want you” is a simple continuation of the two lines quoted above from the previous song – the admission of feeling alone – and it is interesting (to me at least) to see these songs in the order they were written – and written to order to complete the double LP, to see the mental journey downwards that Dylan takes during this time.
But as the end is in site there certainly is a lighter feel at this moment, although there is still the desperation of the chorus. In this world of fairground freaks that now seem to populate Dylan’s mind, he just needs someone to hold on to. It is as if the dreamer, or perhaps the script writer, has dreamed up too many odd characters all the way through the sequence of songs, and now finally he has to admit. OK all these strange people are here, but I don’t want them. I want them out of my head. It is you that I need.
Thereafter it is so, so sad that Dylan never proceeded with If I was a king – the aftermath of the months of writing and recording Blonde on Blonde. It would be be so wonderful to know where his mind had travelled to, knowing the album was all done and was ready to hit the streets.
After “If I were a king” we hear no more of Dylan, and the most common explanation is that it was the motorcycle crash that stopped him. Maybe it was, but I can’t help feeling, listening to the Blonde on Blonde songs, not in the order they appear on the album, but in the order in which they were written, that this was a man heading towards a nervous breakdown.
So maybe the bike crash was a minor affair, but the doctor who treated him said, “for the sake of your sanity, stay here. It’s not your body that’s got mangled, it’s your mind.” Of course I don’t know, but it seems to fit the facts.
Dylan had composed and recorded in a very short space of time, one of the great, great musical achievements of the pop and rock genre. But where he had changed from his compositional style of his previous years was the fact that he was no longer alternating between his favoured themes – love, lost love, disdain, the blues, humour, satire, songs of farewell, protest, moving on… He had become stuck in one vision. The songs were still great, but I fear his sense of well-being was not quite as high as it might have been.
As a song “Sara” doesn’t really tell the story of that era as it actually was, and many have pointed out that the implied chronology doesn’t work, but the line from that song
I’d taken the cure and had just gotten through
probably does relate to events after this extraordinary period of writing had come to an end.
Dylan had been pushed, or had pushed himself, into writing a set of songs while knowing that the engineers and musicians were just sitting around waiting for him. It was the ultimate pressure. Yes, I think he did produce a masterpiece – or at least a masterpiece in parts. But I also think the cost to him was overwhelming.

Sport fishing is a huge event; a day’s worth of activity and worthy months of anticipation. There are some huge fish in the sea waiting for a little sport of their own. In their eyes, you could be the catch of the day. Engage in battle with a Mahi Mahi, Yellow Fin Tuna, or big Red Snapper in Costa Rica.
Charter Fishing in Costa Rica
Among serious sport fishermen and women, Costa Rica is a type of mecca. Read about why Costa Rica is so popular. Their usual method is to hire a charter when they arrive or even prior to their arrival in the country. Some of the top locations for fishing are:
• Playa Flamingo, Tamarindo, and Jaco down the west coast
• Tortuguero, Limon, and Cahuta along the east coast
• Arenal and Caño Negro north-central
Fish up for grabs include Wahoo, Rainbow Bass, and Rooster Fish along with those mentioned above. If you are wondering where Costa Rica is situated, follow a map of South America and you will see the country bordered by Nicaragua in the north and Panama in the south plus both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It’s not far for North American travelers to get far away from ordinary life.
The Language of Costa Rican Sport Fishing
Even in this Latin American country, one commonly hears English spoken. That’s one of the comforting reasons people choose Costa Rica as their sport fishing destination. Charter captains, in particular, not only speak the language but are often from an English-speaking country. They are transplants who love the sea. They even have great fishing resorts too.
You can do it alone, hiring a boat and using technology to find fish. This is not relaxing. You have to learn about the various features of an unfamiliar coastline; the habits of these fish such as where they tend to travel at what time of day. One must either travel with thousands of dollars (and hundreds of pounds) of equipment or hire, potentially even buy it onsite.
Charters with experienced captains reduce the workload and possibly cost less in the long run. Even if you know how to drive a boat, which many sport fishermen cannot do, it’s so nice to leave the work in hands that know the seas you travel blindfolded.
Hire a charter, but choose carefully. As in any tourist-focused industry there are cowboys. They don’t have a license or insurance. Their boats are not seaworthy or only just. There is no safety equipment onboard and the main goal is to get your money. Once on the water, maybe the English-speaking captain will suddenly only speak Spanish. It can happen anywhere in the world.
A good captain takes you where fish are known to live and congregate at a certain time of year and of day. He recognizes where the fish a customer wants to catch are located and takes the appropriate direction. Some favor the north coast; others the south.
A licensed, experienced, insured charter boat skipper is conscious of your enjoyment and safety. His fishing boat is ready for action, serviced and maintained, with a working radio and a captain who knows how to use it. Life jackets are available and one is encouraged to wear them. Fishing equipment might be available as well plus snacks and drinks. There are levels of rental and various boat sizes to accommodate a pair of fishermen, a family, or a corporate group. Luxury tours are stocked with lovely food and cold drinks and participants are waited on courteously. At the end of the working day, a charter operator has to make it known to existing and future clients that they are worth hiring again; that word, as it spreads about them, should be positive. This charter deserves your custom. The cowboy doesn’t care what you say. He has your money and another sucker comes along every minute.
Finding Sport Fishing Charters in Costa Rica
Research from home or in the country. There are a number of great companies with reviews, videos, and testimonials from happy customers. Lots of established businesses are online, so you can get a snapshot of the sorts of fish customers catch. Explore which side of the country these fishing tours are situated and corresponding species of fish. If you have a fish in mind, then orient your holiday closest to where that species is found and where charters take people to the right places in the correct season.

ANNA MARIA – The mayor and city commission plan to review and potentially amend a city ordinance that prohibits the sale of hemp and CBD products.
Hemp is a cannabis plant that contains 0.3% or less THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that produces a “high.” CBD is a cannabis product that contains legally-allowed low levels of THC.
Enacted in 2015, Section 34-2 of Anna Maria’s code of ordinances says, “The growing, processing, distributing and sale of marijuana within the city limits of Anna Maria is hereby prohibited. Marijuana shall be defined for purposes of this section to include all parts of any plant of the genus cannabis, whether growing or not; the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any part of the plant; and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture or preparation of the plant or its seeds or resin, including but not limited to low-THC cannabis.”
At Mayor Dan Murphy’s suggestion, Anna Maria’s current hemp and CBD prohibitions are tentatively scheduled for discussion during the Thursday, March 14 city commission meeting that will start at 2 p.m.
Anna Maria’s hemp and CBD sales prohibitions came into question during the Feb. 8 commission meeting, when Blue Ribbon Events owner Danielle Lynch and Holmes Beach-based Edibles N More owner Mel Wendel were informed that Wendel could not sell hemp and CBD products at the arts and crafts show taking place at Roser Church that weekend. Wendel noted CBD sales are allowed in Holmes Beach because that city amended its hemp and CBD prohibitions in accordance with the 2018 Farm Bill that legalized hemp and differentiated it from marijuana.
When addressing the commission, Wendel said she purchases and resells CBD products produced and sold by Beach Bum Apothecary in Anna Maria (no relation to Beach Bums on Pine Avenue). She also said the Cool Beans AMI coffee shop was selling CBD products.
In response, Murphy said he wasn’t aware of any Anna Maria businesses selling hemp or CBD products.
Although not named by Wendel, North Shore Café owners Nathan Scott Geller and Colleen Geller now find themselves involved in the hemp and CBD regulation discussion.
On Feb. 13, the Gellers received a notice of violation letter from Code Enforcement Manager David DeZutter.
The notice includes the city code language pertaining to hemp and CBD sales and says, “This is to inform you that it was brought to our attention that your location may be selling CBD products which are made from hemp. If the allegation is correct, please remove all CBD products. Your immediate attention is required to bring your property into compliance by Feb. 23.
That day, Cool Beans AMI owner Morgan Bryant received a similar notice.
When contacted by The Sun, Beach Bum Apothecary owner Jim Harwood said he did not receive a notice of violation. He said he previously utilized a commercial kitchen facility in Anna Maria to produce CBD products but he no longer uses that facility.
“The (Florida) Department of Agriculture granted me a permit to use at the kitchen. Right now, the business is not operating and I do not and have not sold items in the city of Anna Maria. My billing and shipping addresses are located in Bradenton,” Harwood said.
BUSINESS OWNER RESPONDS
The Gellers attended the Feb. 22 city commission meeting and Nathan addressed the commission during general public comment.
Regarding the notice of violation, Geller said, “I can assure you we’re not doing any of those things. As a resident and business owner, we support the intent of this ordinance, but somehow we got ensnared in this ordinance because of a product we sell at the café.”
Geller said the café uses hemp powder as an ingredient in some menu items and he showed the commission a package of the product used.
The café’s online menu includes an Acai Hemp Protein Bowl and smoothies that contain hemp protein, hemp seeds or hemp powder. Geller said the hemp product the café uses has a THC level of one-thousandth of one percent.
“They call it industrial hemp. Completely safe and legal. We feed this to our children. It has nothing to do with CBD,” he said. “North Shore Café has never sold CBD products. We don’t intend to sell CBD products.”
Making an analogy, Geller said, “The poppy seed comes from the poppy plant. The poppy plant also produces opium and heroin. No one is making poppy seeds illegal or banning lemon poppyseed muffins or poppy seed bagels, because they come from a different part of the plant.”
He also said, “This ordinance needs to be more specific and actually go after CBD products and synthetic CBDs.”
In response, Murphy said the current ordinance was enacted in 2015 to prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries before Florida voters approved the sale of medical marijuana. All three Anna Maria Island cities prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries and Holmes Beach is the only Island city that permits CBD sales.
“We didn’t want pot dispensaries in the city and we didn’t want smoke shops. That’s what that commission was after,” Murphy said, noting none of the current commissioners were in office in 2015.
Commissioner Jon Crane asked if the Gellers could wait until after the March 14 meeting to address the code enforcement citation they received. Murphy said the city is compelled to enforce the ordinance but the mayor has some discretion as to how the enforcement is conducted.
The commission unanimously supported Murphy’s suggestion to place the matter on the agenda for its March 14 meeting.
STATE, FEDERAL LAWS
According to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services website, the 2018 Farm Bill adopted by the federal government created a process for states and tribal governments to establish state hemp programs in which individuals could legally cultivate hemp. The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the federal Controlled Substances Act.
In 2019, the Florida Legislature adopted a state hemp program in which hemp is considered an agricultural commodity and hemp-derived cannabinoids are not controlled substances or adulterants. State laws defines hemp as any part of the cannabis plant that does not contain more than 0.3% of THC.

Let’s talk about the Antichrist. For some the term Antichrist is said to be a man possessed by Satan himself who will oppose Christ directly during the end days. The general populace will supposedly adore him, many will proclaim him to be God as he deceives as many souls as possible into following him to hell. Scary right? What comes to mind for me are thoughts of the end of the world, the final battle between good and evil, the last judgment, separation of the good sheep from the goats, Heaven, Hell…all that stuff. For me, it’s the ultimate topic in scary. (Of course, as a believer, anything that concerns the devil should scare us.)
But what do we really know of the Antichrist? Is he to be a person? Or is it really more of a concept or a representation of evil in the world? The following piece is meant only to glance over the history of the term and what early Christians wrote about it.
Throughout the centuries, churches and theologians have disagreed as to just who or what the Antichrist is or represents. Jesuit priest, Michael Gruenthaner examined the question in his essay, “The Antichrist in Scriptures” written in 1942. He wrote that the term Antichrist, which is first mentioned in John’s epistles, was used both in the plural, representing evil at large, and in the singular, representing one person expected to come at the end of the world in direct opposition to Christ. He also found that all early church fathers “borrowed the term to designate an individual human adversary of Christ, of unequalled malevolence, who is to come at the end of time” Gruenthaner goes into great depth reaching into the Old and New Testament, as well as the early writings of Church fathers, and I highly recommend the read for any who want a balanced look at the topic. His conclusion is all I will give here.
“This investigation, therefore, seems to show that the so-called bugbear of an individual Antichrist has not been banned or relegated to a subordinate position as was thought in some quarters. His advent is certainly taught by St. Paul and probably predicted by Ezechiel. St. John recognizes it as an accepted part of early Christian teaching.” (http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=7705)
This conclusion seems verified by the Didache or the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles. The Didache, which means teaching, is a short discourse by early Christians written somewhere around 70 A. D. The Didache had this to say of the end times.
“ For in the last days false prophets and corrupters shall be multiplied, and sheep shall be turned into wolves . . . and then shall the deceiver of the world appear, pretending to be the Son of God, and he shall do signs and wonders, and the earth shall be delivered into his hands” (Didache16:3-4).
That certainly sounds like a someone, doesn’t it? However, there are those modern thinkers who bring up passages in the Gospel and New Testament that would seem to contradict the idea of the Antichrist as a single person. Here is what Saint John says in the Gospel:
“This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.”1 John 4:2-3
This school of thought begs the question if the Antichrist were one being, would Saint John have put it quite this way?
But let’s return to the early church writings, where we find Polycarp, an early Church father, who seems to have personified John’s Antichrist in this passage from a letter he wrote to the Philadelphians 7:1 in A.D. 135. “Whoever does not confess the testimony of the cross is of the devil; and whoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, such a one is the firstborn of Satan.”
Another example is found in the writing of Irenaeus, a Greek Bishop who confirmed the Gospel of John and of Luke were indeed written by St. John and St. Luke respectively. Writing in A.D. 189, he had much to say in his discourse, “Against Heresies,” ending with this gem: “But when this Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months and will sit in the temple at Jerusalem; and then the Lord will come from heaven in the clouds, in the glory of the Father, sending this man and those who follow him into the lake of fire” (5:30:4). Now that sounds specific and very much like Satan on a throne – insert shiver here.
A few years later in 200 A.D., Hippolytus, an early theologian, had some equally scary specifics about who the Antichrist would be saying the deceiver (or Antichrist) will liken himself to Christ in all things. So if Christ is a lion, he will appear as a lion. Christ was a king, so the Antichrist will also be a king. Jesus was the “Lamb of God” so the Antichrist will seem to be a lamb on the outside but be a wolf within. And even more specific, Hippolytus claims the Antichrist will come from the Jewish race and Jerusalem: “ The Savior came into the world in the circumcision, and he will come in the same manner. . . . The Savior raised up and showed his holy flesh like a temple, and he [the Antichrist] will raise a temple of stone in Jerusalem.” (The Antichrist 6) (Although his view was likely slanted by a prevailing prejudice against the Jews because of anger over the crucifixion.)
It’s all so chilling isn’t it? We could go on giving more examples from 200 to 400 A.D. specifically Tertullian, Cyprian, Lactantius, Cyril, and Augustine, but you can have fun looking those up yourself, if you’re into that. The final point for me I guess is to wonder that since all these early Church writers believed in a flesh and blood type Antichrist, if perhaps we should too.
But whether you do or you don’t, I hope you will still enjoy reading fiction books such as mine that hint at the epic battle to come and even benefit from an occasional thought of your own last end that reading such stories might evoke. If you haven’t yet, catch up on The Glen Series.

Below are some of the most interesting and beautiful objects in the night sky, for you to explore with Navigate. Enjoy!
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has taken images of more than 50 million galaxies,
from giant spirals to tiny smudges of light. Here are some of the most beautiful.
and a companion. Although the two galaxies appear to form a pair, they are
actually at much different distances. The smaller, fainter object is 7 times farther away.
, a spiral galaxy that we see nearly edge-on. The bright red star is in the
Milky Way, very, very close to us compared to the distant galaxy. The star makes a colorful
counterpart to the blue galaxy, although the two are unrelated.
, an elliptical galaxy with strange dust filaments. The dust
filaments may be the shredded remains of a small spiral galaxy that was
captured by the much larger elliptical.
, a distant spiral galaxy with unusually distorted spiral arms. Arms like
these normally arise from the gravitational effects of neighbor galaxies, but for
this object there is no obvious neighbor.
Clumps are loose collections of stars, gas, or galaxies held together by gravity.
Palomar 3 (also known as Sextans C) is a globular cluster, a collection of old stars orbiting the Milky Way.
, which is being torn apart by the Milky Way's gravity.
, an ultra-low surface brightness galaxy. Galaxies come in a
variety of sizes and luminosities; this galaxy is so faint that even the
SDSS's camera can barely see it.
, a nearby, blue, low surface brightness galaxy.
and its companion. These two galaxies are very young, full of young, blue hot stars.
A nearby group of galaxies centered on
. Galaxy groups typically have about 10-20 members.

, a picturesque group of galaxies, discovered and catalogued by famous astronomer Fritz Zwicky.
Moderately Red Shifted Galaxies
A cluster of
moderately far away. One of the major goals of the
SDSS is to learn how galaxies cluster, and to use the clustering to infer the
characteristics of the early universe.
Galaxies are found in clusters of hundreds or thousands, held together by their mutual gravity.
One of the SDSS's major goals is to understand how galaxies form clusters and larger structures,
up to the large-scale structure of the universe.
The ensemble of faint images is a superposition of
three clusters of galaxies
at different distances along the line of sight. The estimated redshifts of the clusters
are 0.38, 0.43, and 0.50. The different redshifts give rise to slightly different colors in the galaxies, with the most distant objects appearing to be the reddest.
, a well-known rich cluster, at a redshift of 0.0423, detected by the SDSS.
ZwCl 1710 (Abell 2255)
ZwCl 1710, also known as Abell 2255, a rich cluster, at a redshift 0.081, detected by the SDSS. This cluster was also detected in X-rays.
Sometimes, galaxies collide, or pass close enough to affect each other through the force of
gravity. Astronomers call these collisions and forces "interactions" of galaxies. Some
interactions seen by the SDSS are shown below.
, an interacting pair of galaxies. Note how the galaxies have distorted each other through their mutual gravity.
Another pair of violently interacting galaxies. The brighter object is called
NGC 428, a spectacularly blue
nearby spiral galaxy. The blue color indicates very active star formation in this galaxy.
UGC 10770, a young spiral galaxy,
undergoing a collision. This object is mentioned in many catalogs of interacting galaxies (ARP, etc).
NGC 7603 & PGC 07041
NGC 7603 and PGC 07041
NGC 7603 and PGC 07041, an interacting pair. Notice the "bridge" of stars and gas
between the two galaxies. The bigger object, NGC 7603, is a well-known Seyfert galaxy.
Seyfert galaxies have small, bright, active cores.
, a Seyfert galaxy with an active core. Notice the disturbed appearance of the
galaxy. This object may be the remnant of an old collision between two galaxies. As a
by-product of the collision, gas from one galaxy is being dumped onto a black hole at
the center of the other galaxy, giving rise to the active core.
The faint reddish object is a distant quasar
Quasars are the most luminous objects in the Universe. They consist of a giant
black hole in the center of a host galaxy. This object was the first to exceed
the magic distance threshold of z=5.0. |

Ground Stone Use-Wear Comparative Database
About this database:
The collection of photomicrographs and photographs posted here is intended to facilitate data sharing and comparisons between different experimental use-wear programs. The images can also function as a teaching aid, or as a supplemental resource for use-wear analysis of ground stone. For more information on the experiments that produced the images on this site click here
Photomicrographs designated as "stacked" have been digitally processed to enhance the depth of field and highlight topographical details that may be useful in discriminating between microscopic wear-patterns on the surface of the stone. A normal photograph, especially under high-magnification, is limited to a narrow depth of field and therefore can only bring topographical features within a certain range of depth into good focus. Focus stacking is a technique that involves taking numerous photographs at different focus levels and then using software to digitally "stack" them into a single composite image that contains the full range of focus of all of the photos. |

Lotteries are a popular form of gambling. They are organized by state and city governments. These organizations record the bets and winnings. The money is then spent on public services. Some of the money is given to veterans and seniors.
There is a wide range of uses for lotteries. Often, the money raised is used for education. Funds are also donated to charitable causes.
Most lotteries are run by the state government. This makes them easy to organize. However, there are some rules to keep in mind when determining how to conduct a lottery.
One of the most common forms of lotteries is the number game. In this type of lottery, a pool of tickets is drawn. Each ticket holder has a small stake in the pool.
In this case, taxes are usually deducted from the pool. After the expenses, the remaining amount of the pool is divided between the sponsor or the state.
Another form of lottery is the Mega Millions. A person who plays the lottery can win a jackpot of up to $565 million.
The Mega Millions requires five numbers from one to 70. The odds are 1 in 302.5 million. If a person wins, they will have to pay federal tax on their winnings.
The United States has the biggest lottery in the world. It is available in 45 states and Puerto Rico.
Many countries have their own lotteries. The earliest known records of a lottery date back to the Roman Empire. During Saturnalian revels, wealthy noblemen distributed tickets. Throughout history, lotteries have been a way for emperors to give away property and slaves. |
Come along to a cultural storytelling session with Essex-based Teacher and Writer, Sade Fadipe, as she shares from her book A Fun ABC.
Join her main character, Adanah, as she goes on an alphabetical adventure, visiting her grandfather in a far-away place.
Told in a Claps, Rhymes and Rhythms, this is bound to be lots of fun, with Arts & Craft too.
For ages 4+.
Part of Midsummer Madness – Our one day mini-festival for families and young people at Cressing Temple Barns. Storytelling, theatre, poetry, eco-crafts, comics, coding, and mud pies galore in our pop-up forest school, what’s not to like!
After living and schooling in Rolvenden, Kent, with her English foster mother, at age six, Sade was to accompany her parents to live in Nigeria. With a first degree in English-Linguistics, and bagged with cultural accessories, she reunited with her foster family in the nineties.
Sade attained a Post-graduate in Education here in England and taught in primary schools within the London boroughs of Southwark, Redbridge, and also in Essex. She is currently rounding up an MA in Creative Writing and Publishing.
However, it was back in 1996, when Guest Author, Sir Quentin Blake visited her school that an interest in writing was first sparked. Her debut, A Fun ABC was published by Cassava Republic Press in 2016.
A Fun ABC (2016). Re-title to A Visit to Grandad (2019) in the USA, for ages 3-7
Snowy JOY (illustrated chapter book), for ages 9-11
A Bouncy 123 (Cassava Republic Press, 2024), for ages 3-7
Kemi’s Wunder Okuta Kingdom – a Fantasy Animal Series (Treasure Tree Books, 2024), for ages 5-8
Sade’s bi-cultural identity weaves through the realistic-fiction picture she creates and stories she tells.
Knowing that not everyone will have the opportunity of visiting or living in West Africa, she unapologetically showcases the continent in its rural glory.
Through her books, she celebrates and introduces both African and non-African children to the music, food, culture, family bonds that Africans experience, the contemporary gender roles they exhibit and emphasises on the humanity that binds us.
Midsummer Madness is kindly funded by the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural fund
The Essex County Council Arts and Cultural fund has been designed to help organisations and practitioners to deliver a broad and exciting range of work and activity to engage with and bring residents together.
The arts, cultural and creative projects supported by the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund, will contribute to the Levelling UP Essex Strategy and play an integral part in enabling the objectives of Essex County Council’s wider objectives as set out in Everyone’s Essex.

How to Get the Best Mortgage Interest Rate
When you’re buying a home on a tight budget, qualifying for the lowest mortgage rate becomes extremely important. The larger your loan, the greater the impact a difference in interest rates will have on your monthly payments.
For example, if you had a loan of $100,000, the monthly payments would rise by just $30 with an interest rate change from 4.5 percent to 5 percent. If your loan balance were $500,000, the difference in your payment under similar circumstances would be $151. |
Vladimir Putin: Warm greetings to all of you in Moscow.
Mr Javier Solana seems to like the premises. Moscow is according a good reception and the splendid Kremlin ensemble produces a favourable impression. We extend sincere greetings to our friends and colleagues. You know that we attach great importance to the European aspect of our policy.
Once again we welcome the President of the EU Council, Mr Goran Persson, the European Commission President, Mr Romano Prodi, and the Secretary-General of the EU Council, Mr Javier Solana, and all our guests.
The institution for the interaction between Russia and the EU has more than once demonstrated its great usefulness. We very much hope that together we will not only preserve but enrich the long-standing tradition of trusting, truly good-neighbourly relations. They are based on common civilisation roots and age-old trade, economic and cultural ties and, finally, on the vast historical experience of cooperation and problem-solving and the building of common European institutions. Proof of this is the mutual enrichment of cultures, mutually beneficial trade and the European integration, which is gaining momentum.
I am sure that the positive political and economic changes taking place in Russia today open up qualitatively new opportunities for deepening our dialogue. There was a time when the relations between Russia and the EU were determined by the political will of the two countries, but today it is increasingly supported by real interest in cooperation, both on the part of the national governments and on the part of the business circles and individual entrepreneurs.
Our third meeting in Moscow is taking place at a time when the Russian economy is sending positive signals, and sending a good signal to investors. The growth of production, liberalisation of the tax and customs policy and debureaucratisation of the economy gave a tangible boost to our cooperation with the European Union. I think the European countries have every reason to see Russia as a reliable and promising partner. There are already a good many success stories in such areas as trade, investment, social development and environmental protection. At our bilateral meeting with the Swedish Prime Minister today we discussed it with special reference to the relations between Sweden and Russia and Russia’s relations with other European Union countries. I hope that our dialogue today will be positive in all these areas of cooperation.
The energy dialogue, which was initiated by Mr Prodi, adds a new dimension to our strategic partnership. It has already met with fairly broad international resonance. One promising area is cooperation in the fields of science and technology. I am pleased that the topic has elicited a positive response at the Stockholm meeting from many European leaders and was backed by the Prime Minister of Belgium, the country which will shortly head up the European Union. We have agreed that this topic, cooperation in the field of high technologies, could be at the top of the agenda of our next dialogue in Brussels.
The agreement on cooperation between Russia and the EU, which came into force a week ago, is designed to give it an additional impulse. I would like to stress that the deepening of cooperation is objectively prompted by the noticeable role the European Union is playing today in European and world politics. The dynamic processes in connection with the upcoming enlargement of the EU, the introduction of a single currency and the emergence of a common foreign policy, security and defence policy – all these elements of course cannot but interest Russia. Russia is ready for positive cooperation in all these areas.
I am convinced that these processes will enable the European countries to take a more active part in world politics, including on such key problems as strategic stability. The Russian side is ready to join the European Union in seeking answers to any global threats and challenges and is ready to seek ways to settle regional conflicts. Our common task is to make life in Europe and in the world more stable and to meet the modern high standards of safety and social comfort. I hope that the meeting in Moscow will be fruitful and I propose to move on to our agenda. Thank you. |

Ribosomes are the particles that catalyse mRNA-directed protein synthesis in all organisms. The codons of the mRNA are exposed on the ribosome to allow tRNA binding. This leads to the incorporation of amino acids into the growing polypeptide chain in accordance with the genetic information. Incoming amino acid monomers enter the ribosomal A site in the form of aminoacyl-tRNAs complexed with elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) and GTP. The growing polypeptide chain, situated in the P site as peptidyl-tRNA, is then transferred to aminoacyl-tRNA and the new peptidyl-tRNA, extended by one residue, is translocated to the P site with the aid the elongation factor G (EF-G) and GTP as the deacylated tRNA is released from the ribosome through one or more exit sites [PUBMED:11297922, PUBMED:11290319]. About 2/3 of the mass of the ribosome consists of RNA and 1/3 of protein. The proteins are named in accordance with the subunit of the ribosome which they belong to - the small (S1 to S31) and the large (L1 to L44). Usually they decorate the rRNA cores of the subunits. |

Physical fitness is paramount so you’re able to pure choice. We are really not talking about exactly how many representatives a-sea otter can shed courtesy in the gym — physical physical fitness is an enthusiastic organism’s power to efficiently endure for enough time to replicate. Past one, additionally, it shows a keen organism’s capability to replicate well. It’s just not sufficient having a tree in order to make a bunch of seed products. Those seeds require the power to end up in fruitful crushed with sufficient tips to help you sprout and you may grow.
Fitness and natural options had been earliest explained in more detail of the Charles Darwin, who seen creatures international, grabbed copious cards, next sought to understand what he had viewed. “
Organisms let you know adaptation from attributes. “The countless moderate differences and that appear in the latest offspringrams of the same mothers tends to be called individual distinctions. No one supposes that every individuals of the same species was throw in identical actual mould.”
Natural possibilities is probable greatest said in the terms and conditions, extracted from his landmark really works “Toward Origin out of Species
More bacteria was produced than you’ll actually ever possibly be supported by the latest world’s resources. “The are … need certainly to endure exhaustion during the certain ages of the lives, otherwise, on idea of geometrical increase, its numbers create ver quickly become chat room in scandinavian therefore … high one no nation you will keep the product.”
Therefore, every organisms need not be able to live. “Much more men and women are put than just may possibly endure, indeed there need to in any instance end up being a struggle to have life, each one private with other of the same kinds, otherwise toward individuals of distinctive line of species, or towards actual conditions out of lifestyle.”
Certain attributes provide pros regarding the fight. “Do we doubt … that folks with one advantage, although not limited, more others, will have the best threat of surviving and you may procreating?”
Sexual breeding is a product from pure selection — bacteria you to combine genetics like this get access to a good higher style of faculties, making them more likely to find the appropriate traits for survival
Organisms having those attributes may successfully duplicate and you can admission the faculties about the second generation. “The new slightest differences may start new nutritious level on challenge forever, thereby end up being managed.”
Successful variations accumulate over the years because the organisms is open so you’re able to populace stress. “Natural Possibilities serves solely because of the maintenance and you will buildup off distinctions being helpful beneath the requirements to which for each animal is launched. A perfect result is that each and every animal sometimes become more and much more improved in relation to the conditions.”
The procedure of pure choice can be increased enormously from the good populace challenges. Populace tension was a scenario rendering it more difficult to have organisms to thrive. There’s always some type of society stress, but occurrences like floods, droughts otherwise this new predators increases they. Around ruthless, alot more people in a populace have a tendency to perish in advance of recreating. This means that just those people with attributes that allow them to deal with the fresh stress tend to survive and transfer their alleles to another generation. This can lead to drastic changes to help you allele wavelengths in one single otherwise two years. |

Boulder for Chocolate Lovers
Hey, chocolate lovers! Boulder has the cure for your chocolate fever — morning, noon and night. Whether you want to build an entire chocolate itinerary and tour the town in a chocolate-infused stupor or just add a bit of creamy decadence to your day, here are the best ways to enjoy chocolate in Boulder.
Have Chocolate for Breakfast
One of the best ways to start your day is at OZO Coffee Company with a jolt of caffeine from their mocha menu (there are 21 different choices from Berry White, white chocolate with blackberry and a hint of maple, to Irish Kiss, dark chocolate with Irish cream). Or another great start to the day is a visit to Jill’s Restaurant + Bistro for Sunday brunch to sample the dessert station featuring a double chocolate fountain. A third option is to grab a chocolate croissant at Le French Café, which is run by a French native and is authentically delicious.
Shop and Savor
Doesn’t chocolate make the perfect gift (especially to yourself)? Pop into the wonderfully whimsical Piece, Love & Chocolate for truffles galore, sipping chocolates, chocolate-enrobed pretzels, chocolate-covered marshmallows and dozens more luscious confections. When you want that special something for the person who has everything and appreciates an international or gourmet touch, head to Dedalus Wine Shop & Market and select just the right chocolate bar from more than 80 artisanal, craft and bean-to-bar American bars as well as selections from across the pond.
Or keep it local with a visit to “The Candy Man,” a.k.a. Brandon Busch, who helms Lift Chocolate. Brandon served two combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and continues to serve in the Marine Corps reserves. There’s no doubt you will get a lift in spirits when you visit and sample the gourmet chocolates (handmade in small batches) in this tucked-away Gunbarrel spot.
Newcomer Moksha Chocolate, with a storefront in east Boulder, is an artisan farm-to-bar chocolate company known for its dreamy dark chocolate, unique inclusion bar combinations and non-dairy options such as matcha and raspberry coconut — all made from beans sourced directly from San Martin, Peru and Silk Grass, Belize.
And why not shop at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory since you are, after all, at the foot of the Rockies? They feature just about anything your taste buds crave, from turtles to fudge to cocoa.
Try Chocolate-Infused Local Brews
Wine might seem like the ultimate beverage for chocolate pairing, but Boulder's breweries prove that's not always the case! Two chocolate-infused brews to try: Mountain Sun’s Chocolate Dip Stout (into which brewers crush 10-pound Belgian chocolate bars) or Avery’s Vanilla Bean Stout (with chocolate essences).
Learn the Art of Chocolate Making
When you learn how to make your own chocolate confections, you never have to be without! Every month, Piece, Love & Chocolate shares the love and learnin’ of making chocolate and chocolate confections. Classes to demystify truffles, ganaches, éclairs, soufflés and macarons are all available. And, if you want to leave the chocolatiering to the experts, there are plenty of goodies to sample—we recommend any one of PLC’s 50 different flavored chocolate truffles. Moksha Chocolate, in the Gunbarrel area, also offers chocolate-making classes. This farm-to-bar chocolatier focuses on ethical sourcing, which you can learn about during one of their classes. Recent sessions have included how to make your own chocolate bark, and tastings and tours.
Have Your Cake (and Eat It, Too)
At Shamane’s Bake Shoppe, a dark chocolate ganache covers either a rich devil's food or chocolate sponge cake layered with chocolate mousse. Top it off with a raspberry marmalade. Is your mouth watering yet? Kim & Jake’s first love was cake, and we’re willing to bet it will be love at first bite for you once you try their rich and hardy gluten-free cakes. And we'd be remiss if we didn't give one more shout-out to Piece, Love & Chocolate for their incredible chocolate cakes, with fillings like pecan crunch, salted caramel or traditional chocolate frosting.
Stock Up on Local Cocoa
Step into just about any grocery store in Boulder, and you’ll find a number of locally produced chocolate goodies on the shelves. Chocolove’s selection of all-natural chocolate bars in more than 30 flavors are crafted using the classic techniques of Europe’s chocolatiers. Every bar wrapper features a love poem inside. Nut butters might be what Justin’s is known for, but it’s the chocolate-covered nut butter cups that make us swoon. Free2b is the Boulder-based company that makes Sun Cups and other chocolaty treats that are free from the top 12 allergens. Those who are chocolate obsessed can even get beneficial supplements (like turmeric, melatonin and probiotics) enrobed in fair-trade milk chocolate from Good Day Chocolate, also based in Boulder. For those who desire an organic, vegan or gluten-free chocolate option, check out the brand CocoLicious available at Whole Foods and Natural Grocers. There's even a sugar-free chocolate option, made right here in Boulder by Lilly's Sweets, which you can find in most grocery stores.

The bathroom is very important in every home, this is because some very crucial activities take place within the room. However, some bathrooms could be very small and therefore could cause problems with space utilization and comfort. Many people may just choose to expand upon the room, though not everyone has the ability to do so.
When an expansion cannot be considered, you may want to look into other ideas for making the most of your small bathroom, such as:
Getting a Smaller Shower
If it is at all possible, one may want to look into installing a smaller shower in their bathroom. The shower or tub often takes up most of a small bathroom, causing mobility and space issues for everyone involved. It’s also true that unless a bathtub is a must have for you, it’d be wiser and easier to just have a shower stall. This is why it may be worthwhile to start looking for the best shower base for your bathroom. Installing them is much simpler than you would imagine, and once a smaller yet efficient shower is installed, you’ll find yourself with much more extra room.
Use Your Space
Most bathrooms will offer a cabinet of some sort along with a medicine cabinet. When it comes to small bathrooms, it’s important to utilize this space wisely. This means you should organize every drawer and cabinet you can, allowing you to fit more items than you otherwise would’ve been able to. There are also many organizers which you could buy to help you hang/place your stuff into an organized and tidy formation, effectively using and saving your space. For small bathrooms, using the space you have in the smartest way you could is very important. The wiser you could use the space you already have, the less space you’ll need overall. This may also mean tossing old products and bottles that you no longer use, and keeping what you do need and use down to a minimum. If you buy less, you’ll need less space, causing you less issue.
Add Helpful Pieces
Another great idea to manage a small bathroom is to add on helpful pieces that may help you store or organize what you have. This is most commonly done with over the toilet organizers and shelves which are made for small apartments and therefore take up very little space. These pieces are often rather affordable and could be found online and in most big box department stores. It may also be wise to hang extra shelving and to add hooks to hang clothes and other items. If you still have too much, it may be smart to use a shelf outside of your bathroom for the overflow. This will allow your small bathroom to stay organized and tidy.
There are many great ways that one could utilize the space they have already without having to tear down walls and build new rooms. Having a small bathroom isn’t the end of the world if you know how to use the space you already have there. Look online for extra ideas and get creative, you just may be surprised with how much you could do with so little. |

Feeling a burning desire to take your entrepreneurship to a new level? Saving the Earth does not have to be down solely to lifestyle - spread the green and share the love by making the world a better place to live all year round! Here are some of the booming business ideas that have taken flight all over the globe. Have a gander and see if anything tugs at your heartstrings and draws you in for an eco-adventure into being self employed.
1. Handmade products that are organic/natural.
Soaps, lip balm, and even cleaning products can be created with things you can find at home, or at a market. Recipes that are easy to follow are readily available online, but not everyone has the time or patience to actually create them. If you package them and sell them as sets, clients will jump at the chance to have these items on hand without having to dig into their own time and resources.
2. Eco-Event Planning.
Whether it's a big bash or a simple get together, it has become very common for a lot of people to hire event coordinators to deal with the details of their party plans. Why not offer a better, healthier alternative? Your main selling point can be the marriage of two wonderful ideas - the party you're planning and saving the Earth! Find green venues, recyclable (or recycled) party materials and create sustainable event management ties that are good for the environment.
3. Recycled Fashion.
We don't mean bell bottoms that have come back with a vengeance or ripped biker jeans that are back on the runway - we mean actual organic materials used to make beautiful scarves, dresses and accessories! You'd be surprised what creative minds (and hands) can do with fabric scraps and other reusable material.
4. Earth Friendly Landscaping.
Think you may have a green thumb that's just bursting to come out? Offer homeowners your time and eco friendly techniques to maintain a greener garden - drought resistant plants and synthetic turf as well as trees grown strategically saves money, energy and water.
5. Franchise an already established Green Company.
As with every business, building your way up from scratch can be quite a feat; it can be intimidating, time consuming and frustrating especially if you're unsure about a lot of things. Why not opt to do research on companies that have already hit markets and made a big splash? Remember to consider how green they actually are, and also keep in mind why you are doing this to begin with. If you want to make a difference in the lives of others, look to a company that has already been known to do exactly that.
