Outages may be a fact of life on the internet, but the past few days have been especially rough for some of us. Last Tuesday, Google Calendar went down for hours. Later in the week, Netflix, Hulu, and Xbox Live had problems. (Hulu on the night of The Handmaid's Tale, no less!) And on Monday morning, users in the Northeast United States were hit by a widespread web outage that affected Verizon users and thousands of websites serviced by Cloudflare, a little-known backbone of the internet that provides security and performance services to 16 million websites. Even Downdetecter, a website that tracks whether other websites are up and running, went down briefly because of the issue.
The outage was an abrupt reminder that the internet is a fragile place where one little error—in this case, by a small company in Pennsylvania—can cause swaths of the web to break with little warning. In Monday's case, it was because the internet's map got broken.
Verizon is having some serious issues this morning, and down detector reflects that as you'd expect. However, I made a minor tweak to the graphic they provide that I think they should seriously consider adding automatically. pic.twitter.com/adL54eR7h9

At about 7 a.m., the outage started affecting Verizon and began to then spread to parts of Amazon Web Services (another major piece of behind-the-scenes internet infrastructure), Reddit, podcast app Overcast, the popular chat service Discord, e-commerce provider Sonassi, live-streaming platform Twitch, and web-hosting provider WP Engine.
Many of the affected websites were serviced by Cloudflare, and so the company started getting some of the blame Monday morning. People weren't sure if the Verizon outage and the Cloudflare outage were connected. While it's true that about 10 percent of Cloudflare's 16 million websites—a massive swath of the internet—was affected, there was little that Cloudflare could do about the problem, according to its chief technology officer. That's because Cloudflare's traffic was never getting to them.
The internet uses something called a BGP, or border gateway protocol, which is basically a routing map or, as some call it, the USPS of the web. It takes internet traffic and data and picks the most efficient route to get that traffic to somewhere else on the internet (like you). That works great most of the time, but something went wrong on Monday. That something was a mistaken signal sent out by DQE Communications, a small commercial internet service provider that services about 2,000 buildings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, according to Cloudflare Chief Technology Officer John Graham-Cumming. "This little company said, 'These 2,400 networks, including some bits of Cloudflare, some bits of Amazon, some bits of Google and Facebook, whole swathes of the internet,' they said those networks are ours, you can send us their traffic," Graham-Cumming said. DQE confirmed that the problem originated within its network, and that it worked quickly to solve the problem. "We immediately examined the issue and adjusted our routing policy," the company's spokesperson said in a statement.
That misconfiguration was probably the result of automatic route optimizing software and not someone intentionally screwing up the routes, according to Andree Toonk at BGPMon, a company that monitors network routes and security. But the effect was the same: Once that new route was announced and the company mistakenly said it could take on all of that traffic, it spread—through what is referred to as a "route leak"—all the way up to Verizon, which apparently accepted the faulty routes and then passed them on. As a result, a massive swath of the internet's traffic—traffic to major destinations like Facebook and Cloudflare—went off a cliff to nowhere. It was basically the Waze of the internet telling thousands of drivers to "go straight" into a ravine.
The problem only lasted a few hours. By 10 a.m. most of the downed services were back online. But Graham-Cumming said this is evidence of a wider problem—major internet service providers not having the safeguards in place to block and filter incorrect routes from propagating across the internet. "It begins with a small company doing something erroneous," Graham-Cumming said. "The really big problem is that Verizon, as a large company, could have actually said, this doesn't look right, we won't pass it on. But they didn't. They let it go out into the wider world, which affected a large number of folks."
It's pretty much a miracle that this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. Cloudflare's CEO blasted Verizon on Twitter over the issue. Verizon has been pretty quiet about the specifics of what happened. The company told Slate in a statement, "There was an intermittent disruption in internet service for some customers earlier this morning. Our engineers resolved the issue by 9 am ET. We are currently investigating the issue." Cloudflare's CEO and CTO are also criticizing the company for not responding Monday morning when they reached out to inquire about the problem.
But the real problem might be the whole BGP internet routing system, which relies basically on an honor system. "There are ways that we are trying to get away from this very trust-based system, which is to use cryptography," Graham-Cumming said. "That way you have to prove that you are the owner of a network." Graham-Cumming said adopting similar technology—called RPKI—is the way to avoid similar hiccups in the future, hiccups in which a tiny company claims to own parts of Cloudflare, Amazon, and Facebook, and Verizon's systems don't question it all. RPKI allows networks to better filter faulty BGP routes, and it requires that routes only be issued by networks that have the capacity and the right to announce that route. As Cloudflare pointed out in a blog post this afternoon, if Verizon had used RPKI, it would have seen that the routes issued by DQE were not valid, and they would have bene dropped automatically. AT&T and several other providers have already enabled RPKI frameworks. The technology wouldn't just stop mistakes like this one or faulty automatic software issuing mistaken routes. It would also prevent pranksters and those out to cause trouble on the internet from maliciously issuing erroneous routes.
Which would make all of us feel better. No one appreciates a Monday-morning Reddit interruption.

Editor's note: The article has been updated to correct the number of trucks subject to the recall.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigation has concluded an investigation of Navistar ProStars. The verdict: a recall of nearly 15,000 trucks.
According to ODI documents, 2012-2013 Navistar ProStar trucks have accelerator pedals that do not return completely to an idle position after being depressed, increasing engine speed. The defect also prevents the engine brake from activating.
ODI opened the investigation on April 17 after receiving more than 1,000 complaints. More than 200,000 trucks were part of the investigation. Drivers' complaints ranged from needing to apply more pressure to the brake pedal to pulling the accelerator pedal back from underneath with his or her foot. No crashes, property damage, injuries or fatalities were reported.
More than 70 percent of the claims involved manual transmission trucks. ODI investigators drove several affected ProStars, including automatic transmission trucks. ODI found that automatic transmission ProStars did not reach engine speeds high enough to compromise safety. Manual transmission ProStars reached speeds of more than 2,300 RPMs while at rest. The discrepancy was because of the differing architecture between the two transmissions, the ODI report noted.
Navistar has acknowledged the issue and plans to issue a recall. The recall number is 15V-776. Only manual transmission 2012-2013 ProStars are affected. Navistar will recalibrate the engine electronic control module to remedy the situation. Drivers can check for recall updates at SaferCar.gov.

Our map of Turkey makes most of the roads look like super highways; these thick lines in any other country would translate to autostrada, autopista, autoroute or autobahn. In fact, after picking up the car, we entered a very big and fast super road, at least for about 20 kilometers when it dumped us out into a village with traffic worthy of Cairo.
It was 40° C (104° F) and we were glued to the traffic. The supposed 2 hour drive turned into a hard 5 hours of stop and go all the way from Izmir up the Aegean coast. We thought about visiting Troy and Pergamon in the northern Aegean. Nothing really remains at these sites, just a few holes in the ground with markers that tell you were others found something and removed it to a museum in another country. At the site of Troy, the Turkish tourist board commissioned a replica of the famous Trojan horse. Whopee!!
After 5 hrs to get there and then probably another 6 hr drive to get back down the coast near Ephesus, we decided to have a nice one night in Assos and turn around. We can always go to the British museum and the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.
The Biber Everi hotel (House of Peppers) has been open about a year. Lufti Oguzcan, a Turk who lived in London for the past 20 or so years returned home a couple years ago and hand crafted this old stone house into a beautiful hotel. The creativity is a pure joy; a mixture of old stone walls, railroad tie flooring, ancient artifacts from Assos, ottoman style cabinetry, heated bathroom floors and lots of other clever nods. The only problem is it's way the hell out there in Assos Turkey.
Assos still has old 46' tall walls that date back to the same time as Ancient Troy and Pergamon, who only have holes in the ground. It actually was a pretty important ancient city for a while when Aristotle and a few of his friends from Plato's Academy moved here and developed the sciences of Botany and Biology. The view over the Gulf of Edremit to the Greek island of Lesvos is spectacular. Lufti explained to us that this 9 mile stretch between Assos and Lesvos is now heavily guarded by Greek police. In the past few years, Afghanistan refugees made it through Turkey with rubber rafts concealed in their suitcases to cross over to Greece. From there, they attempted to seek political asylum in the UK. It's all a sad story. First of all, the UK now recognizes the Afghan government and isn't keen to accept their discontented citizens. The Greek soldiers used to pick them up and deport them back to Afghanistan but now they have orders to shoot holes in the rubber boats. Unfortunately, most Afghans can't swim. Afghanistan is a landlocked country. A few months ago 11 of them drowned trying to cross the Gulf.
The big attraction in Assos (besides the cooking of Lufti Oguzcan) is the Doric Temple of Athena built in 540BC. It's a beautiful setting, but all that's left are three re-assembled columns and the ancient temple platform. The friezes, jewels and other Assos artifacts now reside in Boston, Paris and Istanbul. Lucky of us, the ticket seller at the entrance had a snapshot photo book of the old treasures in their new homes. A few years ago, one of the residents of Assos made a pilgrimage to all the museums to show the other villagers what was taken from them. They're not great photos, but they do show what used to be there.
The winds over the Gulf are wicked. We tried to take a self photo using the camera's self timer but the camera blew over. I caught it just in time before it smashed against the rocks. The Greeks call these winds the Meltemi. The Turkish refer to them as the Haydar winds. The Turks and the Greeks don't agree on much of anything.
We're growing very fond of Turkish coffee. There is an old Turkish proverb that says, "Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and as sweet as love". It takes a while to make and when it is served, you can almost chew it. They grind the beans into a power and then boil it in the water. It's been made this way since the 13th century. You have to add a little sugar. But here's the catch. The Turkish don't really drink Turkish coffee for breakfast; it's more of an after dinner treat. The Ottoman Turks introduced the world to coffee.
As we left, Mehmed (the hotel staff) poured a bucket of water onto and behind the car as we left the parking lot. Lufti said it was to guarantee a safe journey; "you will travel like a river without disruption". We thought it was a charming old tradition but when we were almost killed by a wild Turkish driver cutting into our lane a few hours later we thought, hey, maybe there was something to this. We've been pouring water behind the car ever since. We've escaped injury three times so far. Turkish drivers are crazy. One car cut us off going about 80 mph and put both cars into an out of control tailspin. When the cars finally did hit, it was just kiss. No damage. The offensive driver got out of his car, put his hand to his heart and bowed, returned to his car and drove away. Gretchen hasn't taken off her "boncuk" (evil eye) bracelet since we left Istanbul. Any extra protection is welcome on the roads of Turkey.
Kirazli, our next destination, is a modest farming village near Selcuk and Ephesus on the southern Aegean Coast. Tractors line the narrow streets; no one uses cars. Tractors are the only conveyance. Hey dad, can I have the keys to the tractor tonight?
Stephen and Adrian, the owners of the Muses Hotel are two Brits who gave up their Victorian mansion lifestyle in Wales, packed up their things (very valuable antiques) and moved to Kirazly. They built themselves a colonial retreat that even the Royals would approve of. We might have been a little skeptical when we arrived to this village of blocky stucco houses, poor dusty people and old decaying dogs, but once we opened the front door, we were transported into the proverbial lap of luxury. The hotel has 5 ensuite rooms, each built with respect to the most comfortable accommodation and design. There is a beautiful swimming pool, a garden oasis and one of the best restaurants in all of Turkey. They also just finished a small villa (with private pool) across the street. Adrian, besides designing and building the hotel is an amazing chef. It's definitely a bit off the beaten path (and very much on the unpaved path), but what a discovery. I think within a few years they'll probably buy up more of the older farm houses and extend the empire.
On the day we made our visit to the ancient ruins of Ephesus, we hit market day in Selcuk, the largest fruit and vegetable fair we've ever seen. The stalls went on for close to a mile, each piled high with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, onions, potatoes, melons, apricots, grapes, dried fruit, nuts, sweets, Turkish delight of all shapes and flavors spices, cheese and bread. Unlike outdoor markets in western European countries that close up around 1pm, this one goes on all day long.
Around 100 AD, Ephesus had a population around 450,000, making it the largest city in Roman Asia. It had one of the most advanced aqueduct systems in the ancient world, providing water to bathhouses and toilets all over the city; yes the toilets in some houses did have plumbing. There ware still ruins of ancient clay pipe sections virtually littering the site. These are very thick and strong water pipes. Lufti up in Assos told us it takes a long time and a very powerful power saw to cut through them.
For the most part, Ephesus has been reassembled. Earthquakes over the years pulled the city down at least three times. The archeologists have made a fairly reasonable reconstruction but without a city plan, it's hard to tell how true it is, but it looks good. The mosaics of some of the residences are in surprisingly good condition. The reassembled entrance to the Temple of Hadrian is conveniently next to the brothel.
The centerpiece of the old city is the Library of Celsus. Back in the 3rd century it held over 12,000 scrolls (volumes).
The building faces east so that the reading rooms could make best use of the morning light. Three stories (of the original four story building) were reconstructed in the 1970's by a German archeological team. It looks great, even though it's only a re-assembled façade. It's pretty disappointing when you go through to the rear side.
When the ancient Romans got tired of reading the scrolls, there was an underground tunnel, marked by figures of a woman, a heart, and a price, that led from the library to the nearby brothel.
The massive 25,000 capacity theatre, now home to the Ephesus Summer Music Festival, seemed to survive most of the earthquake damage. Performances here ranged from dramatic plays to gladiator fights.
A gladiator graveyard was found in May 2007. Some of the exhumed bones are now on display in the Selcuk archeology museum along with a really good description of how the Gladiator died by showing the wound inflicted into the recovered bone or skull. There are also charts of facts surrounding the life and specialties of a gladiator and the ages of those found in the burial yard. Most gladiators didn't last more than 5 fights and many of the listed died in their young 20's. A small number of them did make it into their 60's. After so many years and so many victories, the survivors would get their freedom and a small home for services rendered in entertaining the masses; a pensioner's plan for aging gladiators.
Ephesus was also the center of the Cult of Artemis, the hunter (the Romans referred to her as Diana, the brother of Apollo). The Temple of Artemis (or where the temple used to be) is outside of the main park. Archeologists have been excavating the site for hundreds of years. At this point, only one column has been mounted in the area to show where it used to be. Most of this Wonder of the Ancient World is now submerged in a swamp.
The Temple of Artemis was big; 260' x 430' with 60' tall columns, 127 of them. It was said the interior was filled with golden pillars, four ancient bronze statues of Amazons, silver statuettes, glorious paintings and, of course, the grand statue of Artemis. The entire complex was covered with a wooden roof, which might not have been such a good idea. On the night of July 21st, 356 BC, a man named Herostratus torched the roof and burned the temple to ground in an attempt to immortalize his name. I guess he succeeded.
On the same night, Alexander the Great was born. The historian Plutarch later wrote that the goddess Artemis was "too busy taking care of the birth of Alexander to send help to her threatened temple".
The temple was rebuilt 3 times on the site. When St. Paul took up residence in Ephesus in the 1st century AD, he converted many of the city to Christianity, but the cult of Artemis kept him away and protected their temple. It wasn't destroyed for the second time till the Goths sacked it in 262 AD. But the cult was still strong enough to rebuild it one more time. The last version lasted about 150 years when it was finally shut down by the Christians. Emperor Justinian hauled off most of it for building projects in Constantinopolis. Supposedly a lot of it went into the building of the Hagia Sophia.
No one really visits the Artemis site any more. There's not much there to see. The tour buses just drive by the entrance and head on over to the big ticket items in the archeological park down the street. In fact, there's not even an admission charge to get in to see this old Temple site, which is rare in Turkey. They usually find a way to charge for any piece of antiquity.
There are 2 of the 7 ancient wonders in this along this coast. Even if they don't exist anymore, we're still determined to see what's left of them.
The Seluk museum is approximately 500 meters from the Temple of Artemis. Any artifact that wasn't hauled off to London, Paris, New York, Istanbul or Berlin is here. There isn't much but what is here is very good, and it's a nice cool rest from the sun.
The stars of the collection are the two very exotic statues of Artemis with a lot of booby things hanging off her chest. No one is really sure what the boobies represent. The secret was lost when the cult of Artemis died. Some think they're breasts. We thought they were eggs. Another theory is that they were testicles because there was a Roman cult who worshiped the goddess Cybele with similar looking statues. The true worshipers of testicle cult of Cybele castrated themselves in her honor. Now that's devotion. Ouch!!
Other bizarre artifacts in the museum are a couple of statues of the fertility god Priapos with his humongous erection. Not only would he help fertility but he was also used as an "evil eye", protection from evil. There are also some examples of early Christian graffiti. Crucifixes were carved into the heads of many of the Roman statues including Augustus and his wife Livia.
On the way back to the hotel, we stopped off at what was advertised as the largest Steam Engine train museum in all of Europe. Hey, it was on the way and admission was free if you went into the Ephesus Ceramic shop first.
There were stream engines and rail cars going back to the early 1800s, all gently displayed along well-manicured lawns of green grass. Turkey had 3 inches of rain last year the entire region is parched and dry. A wayward match could devastate the area. But inside the train garden, it was lush and green. The prize of the collection was Attaturk's person rail car, complete with a very substantial marble bath. He used this car as he traveled through the country, modernizing the people with a new alphabet, new rights of the people and new fashions.
When we got back to the Muses, Stephen informed us that we'd be lucky enough to see a real Turkish wedding party that night in the village square. The villagers worked all day preparing gruel made of smashed lamb, flour and spices; smashing it up in a large (maybe 15 gallon) pot with boat oars.
As sunset came, so did the festivities. About 60 plastic chairs were set in the square in front of a makeshift stage where the band set up. When we wandered over, the bride and groom were just making their first appearance. She was still in her wedding dress and she was beautiful. Within minutes of their arrival, everyone hit the dance floor; small children in their party clothes, young boys with their heads buried into the firm breasts of young women, Nene (grandmothers) in headscarves and locals just having a good time. When the call to prayer assaulted the square from the nearby minaret's loudspeakers, the music and dancing paused. But once the call ended (and oh they can go on for five minutes and longer), the party continued as if they were put on video pause.
It was fun for a while, but were we unprepared for a Turkish wedding. These things go on all night, sometimes for 2 or three nights. At 1:00am, the band had cranked up the volume and the entire village was whopping it up. By 3:00am, the amplifiers were turned up to eleven. Our room was a mere 100 meters from the square. Even with the double paned windows, there was no escape from the Turkish Kings of Pop. By 5:00am, the Imam opened the phone lines for the call to prayer. In modern Islam, the Imam no longer climbs up the minarets 5 times a day. Now he sits in a room somewhere nearby and makes radio addresses. Yes, the calls to prayer are "phoned in".
Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep. But that didn't stop us. After a good breakfast of local cheeses, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bread and jam and good, strong Turkish coffee, we were off for a 3 hour drive up into the hills and onto the ancient city of Aphrodisias.
Aphrodisias was another cult community worshipping Aphrodite and the Caesars. In the late 1st century AD, it was under the personal protection of the Roman emperor Augustus. It was a prosperous city of about 15,000 people, a mixture of pagan cults and a very substantial Jewish community.
Aphrodisias never fully recovered from a 7th century earthquake. It fell into bad times and although people lived here for a few hundred years more, by the fourteenth century, they called it quits and moved on. In 1961, an archaeological excavation sponsored by New York University and National Geographic began reassembling the old city. It's an ongoing project and excavation pavilions are set up throughout the city. They're doing a good job. But the best part about Aphrodisias is that none of the cruise ship tourists from Kusadasi make it up here. Counting us, there might have been 10 people in the entire ancient city. It was so peaceful.
After fond farewells to Stephen, Adrian and Gokan (pronounced Gherkin, like the pickle) we once again poured a stream of water on the back of the rental car and headed south to the harbor town of Bodrum.
Bodrum was once ancient Halicarnassus of Caria, and home to the Mausoleum of Maussollos, the other ancient wonders of the world in the area. In case you haven't figured it out yet, the word mausoleum originates with the name of Maussollos.
Historically speaking, there was nothing very exciting about King Maussollos except the construction of his tomb. He wasn't responsible for that either. The project (around 350 BC) was conceived and executed by his wife and sister Artemisia, who mourned the death of her husband/brother so deeply, she is said to have mixed his ashes in her daily drink.
She died within two years of his death, probably from a broken heart. When completed, the mausoleum was 140' tall capped with a 20' tall chariot statue at the top. The exterior walls were covered with life-sized, freestanding statues of people and animals. It stood erect for 16 centuries, until an earthquake caused some damage to the roof and colonnade. In the early 15th century, the Knights of St John of Malta invaded the region and built the massive crusader castle that still stands in the harbor. In 1494, when faced by attack from Suleiman the Magnificent, the Grand Master of the Castle, Thomas Docwra, ordered the knights to fortify it with the remains of the Mausoleum.
By 1522, almost every block of the Mausoleum had been removed and reused for the fortifications of the Castle. You can still see some of the polished stones and marbles blocks in the walls and there are a few of the statues in and around the fortress. You can also go to the British Museum to see some statues taken from the old site.
In 1523, one year after the Knights of St John finished dismantling one of the most incredible architectural achievements of the ancient world, they surrendered the fortress over to Suleiman the Magnificent, along with the other Crusader Castles of Rhodes and Kos. If Rhodes hadn't fallen, the Hallicarnassus fortress might have held off Suleiman. There were 7 gates of defense and 5 towers manned by English, French, German, Italian and Spanish troops.
In 1895 the fortress was turned into a prison and held about 700 prisoners. In 1915, during World War I, the French bombed the hell out of it. The Turks rebuilt it but the reconstruction is very obvious.
Nonetheless, it's a great historical park, filled with local craftsmen, spectacular views of the Aegean and a very interesting underwater museum, which is not underwater, showing ampoules, glass, pottery, anchors, tools, etc discovered in underwater salvage missions.
The only tower open to us was the English tower, which did have artifacts but the real interest was in the graffiti of the bored crusaders carving their names into the soft stone.
Hallicarnassus also gave the world Herodotus, the world's first historian. His 9 volumes "The Histories (431-425 BC), a chronicle of the Greek-Persian War are still a best seller almost 2500 years later.
Herodotus is known as the originator of some great old expressions like:
"It is better to be envied than pitied" or "Haste in every business brings failures" (haste makes waste), or his most famous: "Not snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor night keeps them from accomplishing their appointed courses with all speed."The US Post Office altered this one a little but nonetheless, it's pure Herodotus.
Today Hallicarnassus or Bodrum is the home to Turkish movie and music stars. It's beautiful location; posh resorts and turquoise waters have made it an international destination. The harbor is filled with enormous sailboats, yachts, gullets and cruise ships. The harbor town is a spider web of small winding streets packed with jewelry, hand made sandals, clothing, suntan lotions, tobacco shops, grocery stores, restaurants, cafes and bars. At night, the town turns into one big disco party. That must really piss off the Muslim fundamentalists.
But lucky us, we're staying up on the hill overlooking the city. We can barely hear the Imam's call to prayer or the disco clubs. All we hear is the hum of the air conditioning lulling us to sleep.
This area of the Aegean is also famous for a whacky sport where a female camel in heat is put in front of two males and they fight it out. A camel can win by making the other camel scream, fall or run away. Before the grand match, the colorfully decorated camels march through town in a big Parade. From what I've read, the camels get very excited during the fights and spectators are known to be assaulted with flying saliva and flying urine. Sounds like good ol' Turkish fun. Maybe I'm glad we missed it.

This Month's Poet
Michigan Poets
Review: Dutiful Heart
October 6, 2015 February 27, 2018 | Jonathan Taylor
Poems by Joy Gaines-Friedler
Broadkill River Press
The people in Gaines-Friedler's collection are often stumbling through the poems, not hearing one another, or in the wrong place and time, and always running up against loss. The poem"Test Trials," for example, laments that a friend's AIDS reached its end before "the cocktail" of new drugs "caught up to you." Or the lovers in "Universal Paradox": "He said I love you, meaning, / I have a plan for showing you. // She heard, I need you, meaning, / she's no good at folding sheets." The poems are accessible yet often take a startling turn in imagery to let us know that Gaines-Friedler does not settle for conventional wisdom or melodrama when it comes to writing of loss. In "The Year of the Horse," friends unwilling to talk about difficult subjects (while in a Chinese restaurant) are said to "bring ther mothers with them / breaded and covered in a tender wrap."
Ironically, one of the few people at ease in the poems is a dementia-afflicted mother: "Mom's mind is untangling. / Someone said she's become delightful," in the poem "One Has a Mind of Spring." And in "Cigar Smoke Lifting," a father is described as "Surprised . . . that forgiveness would come to you / in your last days." These lines speak to a paradox that motivates many of the poems, that the meaning of our lives change as our lives evolve and to fix the meaning in place is to do so temporarily, and that there is no final place for us to stand and reflect because our stories outlive us. The speaker of the poems, then, craves a lasting connection, such as in "Luna Moth": "I want you to think what I think, / see it as amazing…"
Note: Gaines-Friedler's poem "Truth Be Told" appeared in The Michigan Poet in 2011.
Review: Divining the Prime Meridian
May 18, 2015 February 27, 2018 | Foster Neill
Poems by Carol Smallwood
WordTech Communications
The book itself is very well designed, boasting a lovely old map on its cover and, as exacting as the Prime Meridian, the contents are laid out flawlessly. But what of divination? The subject matter within the book ranges from a fastidious mind at McDonalds to a sentimental poet akin to the great Emily Dickenson, to a cancer survivor, and more. In this collection, Carol's free verse and formal poems are equally skillful. She neither relies on form nor shies away from it, instead using whatever means she divines most appropriate. The poems are immediate and clear, if occasionally abstract. Throughout the book, there are moments when Carol reveals that beneath the surface of a caring, astute individual, there is a person who has overcome more than one trauma.
Review: The Drunken Sweetheart at My Door
May 4, 2015 February 27, 2018 | Jonathan Taylor
The Drunken Sweetheart at My Door
Poems by Ken Meisel
FutureCycle Press
Somewhere in my memory is a poet I knew who would complain of "thou poems": unsuccessful poems about love harking back to Shakepeare's sonnet 18, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day…." I, too, am suspicious of love poems because most of the time they lack the intensity that they supposedly intend to express. How are love poems that don't even try to say something new supposed to demonstrate passion? Or devotion?
By contrast, Ken Meisel's collection successfully takes on the challenge of the thou poem. While the poems here do not all fall into the ode mode, they do as rule center on the otherness of love: what it's like for one person to love or lust another in many iterations, from teenage boys leering through windows at literally unattainable girls in "The Girls at the Vista Maria Home for Truants," to a nun (sort of) teaching sex ed ("Love was joining./Death was letting go./ Life was the math of it."), to the composer Robert Schumann desolately telling his wife among war ruins "you are not the red rose / anymore," to the poet's own connections and disconnections to love/lust interests. For Meisel, "Devotion is the aerobics of love," i.e., it has to be exercised regularly, and the poem of that title embodies the otherness explored in the whole collection: "A woman is another country and so is a man" and marriage is "yet another Country that two / must walk sure-footed in."
Even though there are plenty of lovey-dovey stock props (violins, roses, chocolate, and, well, tongues) they are employed in unexpected ways, such as the aforementioned nun caressing a rose during the "math" lesson thus confusing the heck out of the young narrator. In fact, the collection prevents itself from falling into clichés by not always taking itself too seriously. The poem "My Wedding" starts as such:
My wedding was a fish. It roused itself awake
by leaping out of calm water.
It flip-flopped all over the grass
on a steamy August morning in 1988.
The oddly apt metaphor serves to offset more declarative lines such as "A wedding ceremony is a healing" and says that Meisel has conviction enough to look (and love) deeply.

Mended
Chapbook by Kathleen McGookey
Kattywompus Press
In the title poem, the narrator says, "today my life seems mended," but this collection suggests otherwise. This chapbook of prose poems belies an uneasy truce with death, disease, and dying. The word "ache" recurs throughout. The poems are unsettled by unanswerable questions, such as in "Grief III," where the poet asks of Grief "wherever my mother and father have gone, do you leave them alone there?" The collection varies from works that read like flash memoir to more surreal works that use the odd juxtapositions of dream logic. For example, the poem "Dear Death" asserts "I have had enough of you. I'd rather learn facts about penguins…."
The subjects of the poems are often aging and dying parents and the vulnerability of an infant daughter. Also, the poet's dislike of possums: "After I hear the possum eating garbage in the garage, I plan to kill it. It's no comfort knowing the killing gets easier each time." Many of the poems are direct and accessible, and many of the others take more work to read, circling the subject. As a whole the poems take on fragility from many different directions. In the best moments, McGookey melds the surreal and the direct, in poems like "Another Ache," which ends as such:
Then the suitcase fell off and the tire exploded. Then the driver got out to look at the lake, it's calm expanse. Everyone felt worse because nothing had been predicted, no sign of trouble on such a sunny day, while road salt glittered its million cheap promises, and strands of videotape flashed down, then bright, in that clean light.
Review: Practicing to Walk Like a Heron
March 23, 2015 February 27, 2018 | Foster Neill
Poems by Jack Ridl
Wayne State University Press
A four section book topping out at a whopping 158 pages, this tome's poems engage without bombastics. There's no need for painstaking quadruple readings (though any reader would enjoy re-reading) – these are immediate poems at an even pace. They glide with all the grace of the title bird, a river of words steadily, surely flowing in a wide, long rutted guttural bed. "Guttural" because these are poems of the body, of its hungers and gratifications, residual as muscle memory, as natural as flesh knowledge. And then, surprise – "Interlude: "Hey Skinny, the Circus is in Town!"" "Interlude" being a perfect word for the third section which departs from the personal-made-public prior themes for a stint under the big top. The entire section enjoys a circus-inspired color graphic header and trades Christmas ornaments, weeding, and old dogs for transient lion tamers, roustabouts, and trapeze artists. The book then winds down with a final section ("The Hidden Permutations of Sorrow") that returns to themes from the first two sections. Despite the section title's connotations, these are not overwrought downer poems. Ridl fluidly blends love and clarity, rendering poems that transcend distance between poet and reader.
This review originally appeared in our July 2013 newsletter.
Review: Before the Snow Moon
A chapbook by Alison Swan
Alice Greene & Company
Throughout Before the Snow Moon there are neither page numbers nor punctuation. Alison chooses instead the natural pause of a line break or syllabic accent to pace readers. Subtle, but apt, as is her subject and voice. The opening lines of her poem: "In Medias Res" immediately call to mind similar lines from William Stafford's famous poem, "Traveling Through the Dark." However, where Stafford contemplates the impact and value of human life vs non-human life. Swan's perspective reads much less anthropocentrically. She is not apart from nature, she is of it. Her communion is her default mode, and to join society is only a pause. In the closing lines of the title poem, the speaker, having been awakened mid-slumber, has gone to the window in search of an owl: "Cold air carried hoots and soughs across the sill / I climbed back under to listen to everything". These are poems from a grateful, humble, careful poet, one who marvels at the depth of
the world and feels greater responsibility than power.
Review: Candidates for Sainthood and Other Sinners
March 12, 2015 March 12, 2015 | Foster Neill
Poems by Don Cellini
Mayapple Press
As the title suggests, this is not your typical foray into the realm of church and saints. It opens with a prose poem introducing an unlikely preacher, then jaunts out on a far reaching tour, finding in each place a moment or two so striking, a few well chosen words fill the page. Don's vivid account of Haitian mothers' preparation of sun baked dirt cookies, the only thing they have to feed their children is heart wrenching. "Where are the / guardian angels / to prevent this?" he asks, not as an accusation but as a plea. So it seems fitting this book came out in 2013, the same year the papacy changed. This new Pope, Francis, might well admire the work this book wrestles with. The community of it. How it offers finely crafted moments to both English and Spanish speakers, how it champions the poor, the weary, downtrodden, how it offers a few glimmers of love in a largely dark, moonless sky. The book revisits the unlikely preacher in the final poem, explaining how the list of
his good deeds grew long, and then, after his passing, "they began to forget. And finally the did." While good deeds may be forgotten, the voice here will stay with you like a good friend.
Review: Magnolia & Lotus
March 12, 2015 February 27, 2018 | Jonathan Taylor
Review:Magnolia & Lotus
Selected Poems of Hyesim
Translated by Ian Haight and T'ae-Yŏng Hŏ
White Pine Press
Chin'gak Kuska Hyesim's Buddhist poetry survives from 13th century Korea and arrives in this present translation, which includes tightly-phrased imagistic poetry that draws its spiritualism equally from nature and social settings. This collection offers layers of meaning, both from the Buddhist unfolding of significance and from the pairing of the introductory notes with the text of the translated poems.
The opening notes are instructive in how poetry seeks to embody meaning through image and metaphor instead of through direct statement. For example, Haight explains how the boiling tea kettle is a frequent metaphor for meditation in Hyesim. With that one bit of information, the deceivingly simple poems take on new layers. Many water images appear in the nature poems: flowing, frozen, and misty. It's an easy leap to see water as states of consciousness. "Tea-Spring" brings these images together:
Old moss conceals pine roots–
From a granite hole, a spring gushes its spirit-fountain.
Opportune refreshment is not easy to find–
in this place, I'll try to brew tea.
Translation in poetry is not transliteration; it is always a creative act, and especially so given the distance from Hyesim's time and language to contemporary English. The end notes reveal this distance: one poem contains a "six-eyebrowed monk" about whom the translators say "the meaning of 'six-eyebrowed' is unknown at this time." This and other notes offer insight in the meaning of meaning, in terms of both translation and the nature of the universe.

Ethidium bromide is the most commonly used nucleic acid stain for PAGE or agarose gel electrophoresis. The fluorescence of EtBr increases 21-fold upon binding to double-stranded RNA and 25-fold on binding double-stranded DNA so that destaining the background is not necessary with a low stain concentration (10 μg/mL). Ethidium bromide has been used in a number of fluorimetric assays for nucleic acids. It has been shown to bind to single-stranded DNA (although not as strongly) and triple-stranded DNA. Because of its ability to bind to DNA, EtBr is an inhibitor of DNA polymerase.

I am a Professor of Acoustic Engineering at the University of Salford where I carry out research and teaching focussing on architectural acoustics, signal processing and audio perception. I am also an author and radio broadcaster having presented many documentaries on BBC radio and written books for academics and the general public.
Architectural Acoustics
My work on diffusers is summarized in my academic book Acoustic Absorbers and Diffusers, which was co-authored with Peter D'Antonio, has the most citations in my publications listed in Google Scholar. The most satisfying part of this work is seeing my research turned into actual designs which have been used in performance spaces worldwide.
Major current research projects
With the BBC move to MediaCityUK in Salford and the establishment of the BBC Audio Research Partnership, increasing amounts of my research are focussed on broadcast audio. (A list of past research projects can be found here)
Future Spatial Audio for The Home
This project wants listeners to experience the sense of "being there" at a live event, such as a concert or football match, from the comfort of their living room through delivery of immersive 3D sound to the home using object-based content delivery. This project is funded by EPSRC and is a major five-year research collaboration between 3 Universities, the BBC and UK audio industry. The project created the soundtrack for the BBC's award-winning virtual reality fairy tale, The Turning Forest.
The good recording project
Many of us carry about mobiles and other technologies that can record sound, whether that is the sound of our child's first music concert on a digital camera or capturing a practical joke on a mobile phone. Mainstream news bulletins often use amateur footage of dramatic events and some TV programmes entirely consist of user generated content. The sound quality is often poor: distorted, noisy, with garbled speech or indistinct music. The good recording project is trying to understand how these recording errors are perceived, and to develop computer programs using machine listening that can automatically detect the errors. The project is funded by EPSRC and had BBC R&D and the British Library as partners.
My second popular science book, Now You're Talking is published in 2018. My first popular science book Sonic Wonderland/The Sound Book appeared in 2014. I have also written articles for New Scientist and the Guardian. In 2015 I was given the ASA Science Writing Award for acoustics professionals.
My most recent documentary was on Compression vs Art for BBC Radio 4. A more complete radio biography can be found here. I've also been involved in numerous media stories as an interviewee, with the most popular being a debunking of the phrase 'a duck's quack doesn't echo'.
Work with schools
I helped develop extensive teaching resources for schools, the latest reached more than a quarter of a million pupils. I have developed and presented science shows seen by 17,000 children, including appearances at the Royal Albert Hall, the Purcell Rooms at the South Bank Centre and the Royal Institution.
Perceptual measurements across the Internet
I run a popular site which hosts web experiments which test people's responses to sound. sound101.org hosted the hugely popular experiment into the Worst Sound in the World. On the site you'll also find some other research experiments to try.

During my childhood, there was "barking sand" on a small beach on the Green Bay arm of Lake Michigan (U.S. state of Wisconsin). I think it was at a park called Newport. It was a plain flat beach. The area is called Door County and is largely limestone.

I've enjoyed the fascinating interviews with you on Science Friday and other NPR programs! Your discussions brought to mind Joseph C. Douglas's article "Music in the Mammoth Cave: An Important Aspect of 19th Century Cave Tourism," Journal of Spelean History, July-September 1998 (vol. 32, no 3–viewable online). Having spent time in Mammoth, the world's longest known cave, I can only imagine some of the sound effects described. I look forward to reading The Sound Book.

Just listened to your fresh Air interview (in Canada even!). As a French horn it was fascinating and educational. Now looking for your explanation why the horn is the most pleasing instrument to listen to! (Difficulty is a different issue) 😀

Trevor, your book is incredible. I am just getting to the part in the "Placing Sound" chapter with the cool graphs of your saxophone. I am glad I heard the interview on NPR.
Is the bibliography good in your book? i haven't even had a chance to look but I am ready to get a similar book.

Glad you like it. There is extensive referencing in the notes that should give some pointers to more detailed reading. (But not really a bibliography)

Trevor, I just finished reading your book, "The Sound Book". As a scientist with background in underwater acoustics, and as a composer, I found your book to be fascinating. Unfortunately, for the average reader, the book may be a bit disappointing. It is difficult for many to imagine what the sounds are really like..May I suggest that you publish your book as an audiobook, and include recordings of all the locations?

You might consider any of the Galapagos Islands for a truly quiet experience. No air traffic at all, no boat noise, and no population. I have experienced Kelso Dunes, and the Olympic National Park, and these are no comparison to the quiet of Galapagos.

I've just listened to your Radio 4 feature and I really enjoyed it. Listening to you brought back all my memories and experiences I had when working for about 10 years as a sound engineer back in Germany.
I have some thoughts about bad sounds you mentioned and why for example we don't like the sound of chalk screeching on a blackboard. Back in the 90ies I worked as a sound recordist in a Munich studio specialising in recording sounds for films – so everything but music and speech. The key to this type of recording is to *not* see how the Geräuschemacher (Foley artist) is creating the sounds! Example, if you need a car screeching round the corner he would use a rubber glove and drag it across a window glass. If you don't know how it's done it sounds 100% like a car screeching round the corner. If you see what he was doing it sounded 100% like a rubber glove on a window glass.
If you only hear the sound of a piece of chalk screeching on a blackboard it will sound nasty but bearable (your brain will interpret it to whatever comes to your mind eg a scream). If, however, you hear *and* see or being told that someone is screeching the chalk across the blackboard it's pure pain because you immediately associate this with your own fingernail being bent backwards and ripped into pieces. The association here is more about self inflicted pain rather than a scream.
I agree with all you said about listening what's around you. It's something we should all do more often. It has a calming and healing effect. I do on a regular basis – just listening, no matter where you are.

I enjoyed your profile on Radio 4's "The Life Scientific". Have you ever considered taking up the challenge of tracing the exact source of the sound of the so-called singing fish in Batticaloa Lagoon in Sri Lanka? I heard them myself in the sixties, and my father made a recording which I still have. There are also recordings on YouTube, and there was a Radio 4 programme about "The Singing Fish of Batticaloa" (available on iPlayer), but I don't think anyone has ever determined precisely where the sound comes from.

Dear Trevor Cox,
I am from Germany and just I am reading your beautiful book.
Very good, indeed!!
You are writing about the reflecting sound in front of stairs. The decreasing frequency of the echos is because the way of the reflections are larger with the number of steps.
I think it is the damping along the large way, because the high frequencies are more damped than low frequencies.
Is it right?
Sorry about my bad English ;-(
Thanks for an answer!!

With most staircases, they are short enough that you don't have high frequency attenuation because of air absorption.

Re stonehenge sound experiments…..are you checking out things like eg overtoning western shamanic ..Eskimo breathing shamanic etc a..cymbals gongs…..drumming reverberations eg native american to eastern europe siberian frame drumming….how would it sound if stones ceremonially covered in ice as winter solstice seems to be an important seasonal date not summer….imitated animal sounds vocally…or distorted sounds using animal bones eg skulls horns shaken etc in ceremonies that could be used like horns…could stones be dressed in soft and hard materials to affect sound reverberations or used to refocus sound…..if there is evidence the stones were worked with bone and flint tools could those sounds be recreated at ceremonies…could stones be rubbed with animal bones ……..are there separate or different sound effects within the circle good and above(ie sound effects by people creating sound sounding on lintels) and even outside circle too……so there is a progression of sound that is ceremonial going into the circle after procesional ceremonies…..good luck!
Also check out the Dragon project re rollright stones I think led by Paul Deveraux….and about 20 years ago a group of "modern Essenes" did ceremonies and actually took a photo of stonehenge with a dome of light sitting on top of the lintels they say had created!!!!!!! No kidding I have seen the photo in one of their newsletters…..

Alopecia universalis is the most severe form of alopecia areata, where there is rapid loss of hair, including the eyelashes and eyebrows. It can happen to anyone at any age, and is considered to be an autoimmune disorder.
People suffering from alopecia universalis are basically healthy, but have a tendency of suffering from some thyroid disease and vitiligo, than normal people. Vice versa, those suffering from vitiligo, which is a condition where the patient experiences patchy loss of skin color, may also suffer from alopecia universalis after some time.
Those suffering from alopecia universalis are generally born with some hair, but tend to lose it very quickly. The reason they are born with this trait is because alopecia universalis is a disorder that is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. It is the mutation of the gene called HR in the chromosome band 8p21.2 that is considered to be the human version of the gene that is responsible for hairless mice.
There are no other contributing causes found out so far for alopecia universalis, besides genetic tendencies. So a person who is born with the disorder has to be careful to protect themselves from the sun, bacteria and other harmful elements. The scalp, nasal cavity and eyes are the parts that have to be well protected in people suffering from alopecia universalis.
There is no actual cure for alopecia universalis; so beware of companies that claim that they can re-grow hair for people suffering from the disorder. There are many companies that even place photographs on their website for proof on their being able to re-grow your hair for you. the chances of any of these treatments working is actually, a million to one.
There are some people who claim and swear that aromatherapy is effective in treating alopecia universalis; however there is nothing to prove or support this. The basic treatment that is used to treat alopecia universalis is Topical Immunotherapy where allergic reactions are produced on the placing of irritants on the skin.
The theory for this treatment option is that hair can be stimulated into growth hormones by irritating hair follicles. Usually chemicals like Diphencyprone or Squaric acid Dibutyl ester are applied to the scalp where after six months of the treatment, more than 40% of the patients tend to re-grow scalp hair.
This treatment has to be continued for some time to maintain hair growth, or until the disease has completed its course. These treatment options are not available in the United States, but are used extensively in Canada and Europe.
With the few treatment options available to treat alopecia universalis, the best choice for those suffering from the condition would be a wig. There are some great wigs that fit so well on your scalp, that no one will know you are wearing a wig.
Just ensure that the provider you choose can cut, thin and style the wig for you, and provides you with extra adhesives to use for your more active days. There are more expensive wigs with suction caps that fit directly to the wig, which are worth the investment.
Hello. My friend suffers from this condition and has not no luck with essential oils. She does wear a wig now, but it is poor fitting. Do you have any recommendations on where she could find a great wig that actually looks like her natural hair, as many of the ones she has had are all just awful looking.
I also have a dear friend of mine who suffers from Alopecia Universalis. It as caused her a lot of stress which as left her emotionally drained in her self as well.
Alopecia universalis is a condition described by the entire loss of hair on the scalp and body. It is a propeller type of alopecia areata, a condition that causes round patches of balding. She has had this for over 6 year's now and she is very depressed.
She had a wig on Amazon but like you say Marva hers as well doesn't look to suit her. So I also wouldn't mind finding a place where she can get that natural look.

Missing dog found after 3 days with help from DJI Inspire drone
Haye Kesteloo
- Nov. 6th 2017 10:47 am ET
A couple from Marshfield, WI is thankful to be reunited with their dog that had gone missing in the marshes for three days. Mollie and Steve Schrodi told NewsChannel 7 how last Saturday a routine trail walk in the McMillan Marsh with their Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Jax took a turn for the worse.
"He had seen something and took off after it. And wouldn't come back, I didn't hear anything from him," Steve Schrodi said.
Devastated the couple ended up going home later that night without their loved four-footer.
"He just brings so much energy to our house. When he was not there, it was so quiet," Mollie Schrodi explained. "And not in a good way."
The Schrodis then posted their dog missing on social media as they and other volunteers tried to find Jax without succes. A local drone pilot Branden Bodendorfer found out about he missing dog and he figured he had just the right tool to find Jax, a DJI Inspire drone.
"We searched just over 360 acres in a couple of hours," Bodendorfer said.
It wasn't until Tuesday that they were able to locate missing Jax.
"He started to bark when he saw the camera, and that helped us locate him," Bodendorfer explained. "There was a lot of tears yesterday, throughout the day, but that moment was just amazing."
"We were just overjoyed to have him back. "He looked perfect! I was so surprised, at how good he looked, I was expecting the worst," Mollie Schrodi added.
Bodendorfer says he was simply doing the right thing.
"Today it was a dog. Tomorrow it could be someone's grandma, it could be someone's child," Bodendorfer explained. "I think anytime you can get out and exercise, train and try to successfully help somebody, you have to do it. That's our role as humans."
Bodendorfer is a hero in the eyes of the Schrodis. Now they will be able to spend many more happy walks together with their friendly canine.
"He saved Jax. There's no doubt about it. He is the reason we have Jax," Mollie Schrodi said.
The McMillan Marsh is approximately 6,500 acres in size.

The first 4 images below are of a male adder, but not just a male adder, a melanistic male adder. This is the first one of this kind I have found in the Forest of Dean, so I am well chuffed.
The last image is of a common male adder.
Melanism is the occurrence of an increased amount of dark pigmentation in the skin, which is also evident in feathers, hair and even the eyes.
It is the opposite of albinism.
Wow, a nice picture. Will it go back to its original state Rob?
Nope, melanism is for life, the same as albinism. I am hoping that this fella hangs around a long time and grows a lot larger. Will make a wicked photograph then.
I am willing to wait another 5 - 10 years!

Unfortunately not a lot of research has been undertaken in Australia into the comparative performance of all cattle breeds. We tend to be very selective about breed testing; however, this is not the case in other parts of the world.
Research from other parts of the world is starting to emerge. There are a number of long term studies underway in North America which compare Galloway performance against other breeds. In Alberta, Canada, a fourteen year study of steer and heifer finishing performance, covering 18 cattle breeds found that the Galloways performed well, often outperforming the 'traditional' feedlot breeds.
Over the fourteen year period the Galloway Average Daily Weight Gain was 1.4kg. The average of all breeds was 1.36kg. Galloways over an 11 year period consistently required less "Days on Feed" than the other breeds with an average of 139.8 days being required to reach the target condition. The average of all 18 breeds was 150.1 days.
Surprisingly for a traditional maternal breed the combination of average daily weight gains and days on feed made the Galloways one of the most, if not the most (depending on the year) economical breeds to finish/fatten. In Nebraska, USA, another long term study involving thousands of matings looked at maternal and carcase traits of a large number of breeds and cross breeds. Galloway sired calves had an average birth weight of 36.4kg, the lowest of any group and a very high unassisted calving percentage of 98%. The calf survival rate of 94.6% was the highest of all groups in the study. Likewise all Galloway sired steers excelled in their marbling score and dressed out at an outstanding 62.2%.
These are figures to impress any commercial cattle breeder or butcher/processor.

Q: Vue.js component not getting the value from a variable I'm new to Vue.js and in my laravel app Im using this component https://github.com/saintplay/vue-swatches is working fine the problem is that I have an edit form and I want to pass the value (color in HEX) from a variable to the component as a selected like value="{{$var->hex_color}}.
This is my app.js
const d_app = new Vue({
 el:'#d_app',
 components: {
  Swatches,
 },
 data:{
  color:'#ffffff',
 },
});

This is my form
<swatches v-model="color" colors="text-advanced" value="{{$var->hex_color}}"></swatches>

When I load the page it shows the default color #ffffff instead of the $var->hex_color.

A: To pass value from Laravel to Vue component, encode it first.
Laravel:
<swatches :value="{{ json_encode($var->hex_color) }}"></swatches>

notice ":" on the property name.
Now, let's accept that with Vue.
...
export default {
   props: ['value']
}
...

Now, you should be able to print the prop value:
<p>{{ value }}</p>

console.log(this.value) // Your hexa value passed from Laravel.

A: You have v-model indicated which already means that you are passing "value" to it and on change it should emit "input" event
<swatches v-model="color" colors="text-advanced" value="{{$var->hex_color}}"></swatches>

That's where the default #ffffff color is coming from, I suppose.
I think, if you remove v-model from there and leave only :value like this:
<swatches colors="text-advanced" :value="{{$var->hex_color}}"></swatches>

It might work. Have you tried it?
Or you can pass color to v-model directly:
<swatches colors="text-advanced" v-model="{{$var->hex_color}}"></swatches>
