A while back I visited friends at their home on the New Jersey shore. The home was spacious and comfortable with a great water view. It was, in fact, a million dollar home. Like many homes along the coast in New Jersey there was a canal in their back yard. New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the country and all the oceanfront land had already been intensively developed or set aside as part of the parks system years ago. But demand for waterfront property was insatiable. So property developers began dredging canals through coastal marshland in order to turn worthless swamps into high value waterfront real estate. It was a brilliant business model and these canals now cover hundreds of miles up and down the coast. Local municipalities love this arrangement since property tax assessments on waterfront property do wonderful things for the public coffers and attract more prosperous residents to the area. Seen on Google Earth these subdivisions are a zip-lock combination of terrestrial and aquatic cul-de-sacs.
The family had just rebuilt their aging 1950's bulkhead that kept the lot from sliding back into the canal at a cost of $80,000 which they said was a bargain since they got a group discount when they coordinated the job with a neighbor. The canals had all been built at the same time so all the original bulkheads were failing at the same time sixty years later. They financed the project with a home equity loan like everyone else in the neighborhood. A few months after my visit Superstorm Sandy hit and destroyed a serious amount of real estate along the shore. Here. If they hadn't replaced the bulkhead the property wouldn't have survived at all. Instead the lower level of the building was flooded but the structure survived. Since the house was fully insured the family was able to rebuild to an even higher standard after the storm.
This got me thinking about the fact that natural disasters seem to be causing more damage to more property as time goes by. I suspect it's a matter of population growth since there are more people living in more places with more buildings in harm's way than there used to be. Technology like these canals and the financial institutions that make them possible are allowing development in places that were once left to nature. But what if these storms keep coming? How many more billion dollar checks will the insurance companies write before they start to re-assess the risks associated with specific locations? After all, that's exactly the role of the insurance industry in our society – to assess risk and help keep people safe by sending a price signal in the form of premiums or by denying coverage altogether. If insurance companies decide to stop writing policies for these low-lying areas then home loans and equity lines of credit won't be possible since banks will not lend against uninsured property. In some locations the state or federal government provides a de facto backstop to cover costs associated with natural disasters, but all levels of government are effectively functionally insolvent these days. The insurance companies will no doubt take notice sooner or later when emergency funding starts to trickle away. Instead of being high value cash cows these coastal subdivisions may become enormous liabilities for local governments. In an environment of scare public funds will there be political will to use taxpayer funds to maintain private waterfront property? How much will these waterfront homes be worth when all sales and upgrades will have to be made with cash on hand in an insurance and finance free environment? What happens when one family spends the money to replace their bulkhead but their neighbors let it slide and half the cul-de-sac washes away in a storm? What happens when the bridge that connects these aquatic subdivisions to the mainland washes away and the county can't afford to rebuild it? Time will tell.


ZDNet had a pretty nice scoop last night on Adobe's plans to cease development of Flash for mobile devices. Instead, Adobe will be refocusing their efforts on Flash.
This is big news — and good news — for mobile computing. There's been a recent trend in web design dubbed "Mobile First". Thinking of how Flash's roots have been in web design, I can't help but hope that Adobe has seen the usefulness of Flash declining and is taking a "Mobile First" strategy to dismantling Flash's death grip on the web.

Gaslamp in Kailua specializes in craft cocktails. From left, The Ewok, Wise & Noble and Smoked Manhattan.
Josh VanEmmerik may not be old enough to remember the start of the modern-day speakeasy boom, which began with the opening of Milk & Honey in New York City on New Year's Eve 1999—much less the original speakeasies during the Prohibition Era.
But the 24-year-old has figured out how to create one in his hometown of Kailua, complete with a hidden entrance, modernized classic cocktails and a throwback ambiance that has inspired patrons to dress in fringe and feathers.
Gaslamp, the neighborhood's only speakeasy, quietly opened three weeks ago—as a speakeasy should—inside the Kailua Town Pub & Grill. The entrance is a phone booth off the bar, manned (at least on Saturday night) by a young blonde decked in a black flapper dress and a long string of pearls who only allows guests in with reservations and a valid ID.
The bar inside the dimly lit speakeasy.
One of the three chandeliers that adorn the bar in Gaslamp. VanEmmerik says he wanted every detail of the speakeasy to matter.
Maybe contrary to the mysteriousness of a traditional speakeasy, Gaslamp has a social media presence, albeit a small one. There are only four reviews on Yelp (so far) and just 10 photos on Instagram. I don't even think the people who were sitting at the bar in the pub on Saturday night knew what was behind the booth door.
It's a very small space—615 square feet total—that's completely surrounded by either the pub or Oeno Winemaking next door. (In fact, this space used to be Oeno's storage room.) Amazingly, it seats 38 people, with only half of the bar reserved for walk-ins. Reservations are highly, highly recommended—required for large parties—and seats book up days, sometimes weeks, in advance.
That's now—and the word isn't even out yet!
And there are rules here, listed in the menu. No screaming into cell phones. No Jager bombs—or bombs of any sort. No leaving with mementos from the bar. Love one another.
Gaslamp boasts more than a dozen signature cocktails and 16 hard-to-find craft beers on tap. (You won't find Heineken here.) There's even a communal cocktail called the Boozy Carry-On ($59) to be shared by four.
Crafted by mixologist Clark Dean, the drinks are inventive takes on classic cocktails, along with some brand-new combinations. I enjoyed the Road to Morocco ($14), a twist on a Pimm's Cup with sloe gin, Chareau (an aloe vera liqueur), strawberry, mint, ginger, lime, cherry bitters and Bundaberg ginger beer. It's a festive cocktail, bright and easy to drink. The Buddha's Kiss ($15) is one of the more popular cocktails here, with Japanese whisky, Joto Yuzu sake, honeydew, shiso, jasmine and Hawaiian honey. It's another tasty cocktail that's light and refreshing.
The Wise & Noble cocktail features Herradura Blanco tequila, Cocchi Aperitivo Americano, Suze bitters, mango, lime, lemon verbena and a turmeric tincture.
Gaslamp has a few tequila-based cocktails—my favorite—including The Ewok ($13) with el Jimador, hibiscus, pineapple, lime, mint, ginger, tiki bitters and candied ginger; and the spicy Stallion ($14), with Cazadores Reposada, aperol, Dolin Blanc Vermouth, guava, lemongrass, kaffir lime and Thai chilies.
Looking for something Instagrammable? Order the Exotic Love Affair ($16), served in a ceramic skull with the eerie effect of dry ice. The combination of Plantation Pineapple Rum, Amaro Montenegro, pineapple, guava, house-made macadamia nut orgeat, lime and tiki bitters made this drink taste like an adult version of POG. Which is a good thing.
For food, the speakeasy has four substantial plates: a board of artisan cheese and cured meats ($19), a trio of prime-cut filet mignon sliced and served on rosemary-garlic baguettes ($16), a four-cheese flatbread ($14), and a tasty bruschetta quarto ($9). Gaslamp shares the kitchen with the pub—it helps that VanEmmerik's mom, Debbie, owns the restaurant—which allows for more seating space in the bar.
Not on the menu but served at the bar, the burrata salad features fresh burrata, baby arugula, heirloom tomatoes, a balsamic gastric and a Champagne vinaigrette.
The artisan cheese and cured meats board has a house selection of Charcuterie and cheeses, including brie topped with a rosemary-blueberry compote.
Sliced filet mignon is topped with a house-made blue-cheese butter sauce, served on rosemary-garlic baguettes and garnished with capers and shallots.
By 7 p.m. about a dozen people, wearing suspenders, fringed dresses and satin gloves stretches to elbows, walked in, perfectly comfortable in this setting but likely odd in the bustling pub outside. They had been here before, initially drawn by the Prohibition Era ambiance and returning for the drinks. Which is exactly what VanEmmerik wants.
"We want to continue to create an excitement about this place," he says.

Black metal generally falls into two camps, with grand orchestral and symphonic works or just raw, ugly noise. A Transylvanian Funeral's third release "Gorgos Goetia" falls very much into the second category. The brainchild of sole member and multi instrumentalist Sleepwalker, he has released the third album under the A Transylvanian Funeral banner. 72 minutes of primitive darkness which harks back to the days of the early nineties Norwegian scene.
With no need for an expansive grand intro, the first track opens up and gets straight into the core of the song, the rough sound stamping its its mark early on and leaving the listener in no uncertain terms as to what is to come.
Every subsequent track follows the same pattern, and the blueprint that was set by the likes of Darkthrone, Burzum et al. Repetitive, hypnotic riffs form the basis of each song on here with the one paced drumming following along. There are a few exceptions to this, with some clean but muffled vocals in 'The Supreme Rite Of Transmutation' and a couple of samples, but on the whole this is decent if not slightly formulaic black metal.
Such is the obsession with following the rules set some twenty plus years ago, there is nothing too progressive or new about this album. That was not the aim, however, so all in all it is a successful project, although with little in the way of variety and the one paced tempo of the album, the running time does seem a tad long. Each of the tracks on here fits in well and there aren't any "filler' tracks you could easily get rid of, but it could just do with being a couple of tracks shorter.
A Transylvanian Funeral come out of it all with a decent release in "Gorgos Goetia" which should please most fans of old school BM, just don't expect anything too revolutionary.

Last week we had the pleasure to visit Steinbauer's fantastic technology development facility in Linz, Austria. This is where they prepare, develop and produce their ECU power modules, Power Pedal devices and much more. Their development projects have included helping the Austrian Mail Service manage and control the performance of their electric delivery vans, along with various military projects, including for the US Military.
This State of the Art building is Eco-friendly and provides very comfortable surroundings for the staff, with Steinbauer keen to produce as much as they can in-house – from ECU boards, programming, cabling to plastic injection moulding. The building includes a central workshop area (almost like a lab!), highly efficient dyno's (they produce their own mobile dyno's for tractors, but for cars they have a great facility with incredible air/temp. control) and they also have an in-house restaurant & bar for staff and visitors.
Their staff really are living the dream! Amongst the Company's fleet in the car park were 2 x Tesla cars and several Electric Smart cars – this is a Company who are really forward looking.

The Government of Lesotho has been under heavy criticism for shutting down a private station that is seen to be anti government. But the government has defended its decision citing the current security volatility as the sole purpose of its drastic action on Moafrika FM Radio. For more news, visit: http://www.sabc.co.za/news

Born to Die is the second studio album and major-label debut by American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on January 27, 2012 by Interscope Records, Polydor Records, and Stranger Records. Del Rey collaborated with producers including Patrik Berger, Jeff Bhasker, Chris Braide, Emile Haynie, Justin Parker, Rick Nowels, Robopop, and Al Shux to achieve her desired sound. Their efforts resulted in a primarily baroque pop record, which sees additional influences from alternative hip hop, indie pop and trip hop music.
Contemporary music critics were divided in their opinions of Born to Die; some commended its distinctive production, while its repetitiveness and melodramatic tendencies were a recurring complaint. The record debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 77,000 copies; it was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after moving one million units. Born to Die reached the peak position on eleven international record charts, and has sold 8.5 million copies worldwide as of May 2015.

"Low" is the debut single by American rapper Flo Rida, featured on his debut studio album Mail on Sunday and also featured on the soundtrack to the 2008 film Step Up 2: The Streets. The song features fellow American rapper T-Pain and was co-written with T-Pain. There is also a remix in which the hook is sung by Flo Rida rather than T-Pain. An official remix was made which features Pitbull and T-Pain. With its catchy, up-tempo and club-oriented Southern hip hop rhythms, the song peaked at the summit of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
The song was a massive success worldwide and was the longest running number-one single of 2008 in the United States. With over 6 million digital downloads, it has been certified 7× Platinum by the RIAA, and was the most downloaded single of the 2000s decade, measured by paid digital downloads. The song was named 3rd on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade. "Low" spent ten consecutive weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, the longest-running number-one single of 2008.

It's no surprise that after a visit to the UCB Theatre, Lloydie is nattering on about "Game of the scene" again. Never done it? It doesn't matter. We're going to spend some time on scenework and playing well with your scene partner, and then it's playtime for the rest of the jam. Come and have some game-related fun and there may even be a couple of bags of American treats passed around too (well, it is 4th July).

This story deserves quite possibly the biggest Nelson Muntz laugh since that time in the fifth grade when Yunni Lee tried to chug his milk at lunch and laughed real hard and when nothing came out his nose, he started crying skim. So all together now, real loud. Lemme here ya (big breath)…HA HA!
BOHEMIA, N.Y. (AP) — There were flashing lights atop his SUV and what appeared to be a police badge in his hand, but it was the man he tried to pull over who was the real police detective.
Robert Lane, 25, was arrested Tuesday on charges of criminal impersonation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, Suffolk County police said.
A fake cop pulls over a real cop. What are the odds? And what are the odds that we'd learn about it? Actually the odds are better on the second one.
It also couldn't have happened in a more humiliating way. According to the story, the fake cop pulled up next to the real cop. The fake cop flashed his fake badge. Then the real cop said in a very cocky way, "That's not a badge." Then he pulled out his real badge and said, "That's a badge." As an added humiliation, the real cop also happened to be Paul Hogan.

Abstract: A search for pair production of heavy scalar leptoquarks (LQs), each decaying into a top quark and a τ lepton, is presented. The search considers final states with an electron or a muon, one or two τ leptons that decayed to hadrons, and additional jets. The data were collected in 2016 in proton–proton collisions at s=13Te with the CMS detector at the LHC, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb-1. No evidence for pair production of LQs is found. Assuming a branching fraction of unity for the decay LQ → t τ, upper limits on the production cross section are set as a function of LQ mass, excluding masses below 900Ge at 95% confidence level. These results provide the most stringent limits to date on the production of scalar LQs that decay to a top quark and a τ lepton.

YouTuber videos and the construction of adolescent identity
The main objective of this research is to analyze the content of YouTuber's videos that have the greatest impact on adolescents and their relationship with the construction of identity. The YouTube platform is one of the most commonly used by Spanish teenagers and around 70% of young people between 14 and 17 years of age prefer this network. YouTubers are perceived by young people as their equals, approachable people who share similar traits to their own, which facilitates rapid identification. A qualitative analysis of the content of 22 videos on the YouTube platform was carried out using the Atlas.ti program. The analysis led to several emerging codes related to the construction of adolescent personal identity. Most of the messages relating to personal identity were aimed at transmitting the self-impression of the YouTuber and the relationship of that self-impression with his gender identity, sexual orientation, and vocational identity. Also, family and peers appeared in the videos, especially as providers of social support. Teen followers include messages to support YouTubers, express their identification with the messages and use comment spaces to describe their own experiences, expressing the same concerns in the configuration of their identity. It is necessary to take into account this new space of interrelation to understand the development of young people's identity.

YouTubers' social functions and their influence on pre-adolescence
This study focuses on the relationship between preadolescents and youtubers, with the objective of observing how tweens integrate youtubers as referents of a teen digital culture. From a socio-psychological and communicological perspective, a mixed methodological design was applied to carry out the audience study, which was divided into two parts: a quantitative analysis of the audience via a survey administered to 1,406 eleven-twelve year old students of Catalan Secondary Schools, and a qualitative analysis of the preadolescence audience using three focus groups. The quantitative data was analysed with SPSS and the qualitative data with the help of the Atlas.ti software. The results demonstrate that tweens consider youtubers as referents for entertainment and for closeness to a teen digital culture, but not really as a role models or bearers of values as influencers. Also, preadolescents show some dimensions of Media Literacy, since they recognise youtubers' commercial strategies and their role as actors and professionals. The study notes gender bias in some aspects, and is an introduction to observation of the social functions of youtubers amongst teenagers, individuals who are in the process of constructing their identity and on the point of becoming young adults.

American Airlines has a strict face coverings policy
Family of 20 removed from flight after passenger's mask slips under their nose
Airline said travellers were reportedly 'noncompliant' with its face covering policy
Helen Coffey
Thursday 28 January 2021 11:34
A family of 20 was removed from a flight in the US after one passenger's mask slipped under their nose.
The group, of 10 adults and 10 children, had boarded the American Airlines service from Salt Lake City to Dallas to catch a connecting flight to Hawaii on 24 January when the incident occurred.
According to one family member, Scott Wilson, they had boarded the aircraft and were settling into their seats when the mask of one of his relatives accidentally slipped beneath their nose before they pulled it back up.
A member of crew saw and instructed the entire family to get off the plane, according to Mr Wilson.

Passengers claim to have been kicked off flight for being pro-Trump
"He said, 'Well, they want you to leave the plane,'" Mr Wilson told KSL-TV.
"I said, 'What, they want us to get off the plane? Can we talk, can we have a conversation? Nobody has even really talked to us.'"
According to Mr Wilson, the crew told all 20 family members to deplane, including all 10 children, who were aged between three and 13.
Other passengers onboard stuck up for the family, claimed Mr Wilson.
"There were actually a couple families around us that stood up and were like, 'This is wrong, that guy is being a jerk,'" he said.
The group was forced to comply and leave the aircraft, but other gate agents were sympathetic to their plight.
They were all accommodated on various American, Delta and United Airlines flights leaving later in the day.
Mr Wilson said the other staff they spoke to were "livid" that the family had been kicked off their original flight and said they had done "nothing wrong".
American Airlines said in a statement: "On Sunday, 24 January, passengers travelling on American Airlines flight 1214 from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) were reported to be noncompliant with our mandatory face covering policy, which requires face coverings be worn properly over the nose and mouth.

"Per procedure, the customers involved were asked to exit the aircraft before departure and the flight departed for DFW shortly after.
"American, like other US airlines, began requiring customers to wear a face covering while onboard aircraft beginning 11 May.
"We have since strengthened our policy to require face coverings be worn at airports and on board, and announced in June that we may deny future travel for customers who refuse to wear a face covering for the duration of this requirement."

Been craving sweets. So while I didn't follow through with the pancake this morning (because what I was really after was a means to eat butter and maple syrup), the craving has not subsided. Alas, enter the recipe above, a trip to Honest Weight, and $40 in ingredients later, errrrr…voila!
I'm not a baker. So I just didn't have the ingredients on hand, like $10 Almond meal, or equally spendy Mac Oil, dark Choc chips, or Algave. I also spent some time in the 'gluten free' section reading the ingredients of the approx. 87 different types of gluten free flour. Wow. Holy good golly, had no idea. Gluten free flour is made from all sorts of combinations of different things, like soy, corn, and rice.

Valerian said nothing. The answer to that was so obvious it did not need saying.
"Strapping's is holding you back", Lady Bloodworth told him. "It's not your instructor's fault. It is the system's. You heard the report. You have to do things yourself and from what I see it is because you can't rely on others to do them to the standard you require. Your squad is lagging behind you and yet you can't break free. You all need to develop as a whole even if it means you are stifled in the process. You know why? There's no one to focus on you.
"That's why you need a master. A personal trainer. Someone powerful, experienced and well connected. Someone who can see to your specific needs and guide you on your path", she told him.
"What are you saying, ma'am?" Valerian asked, seeing where this was going.
"I want you to be my apprentice!" she stated.
"You, ma'am?" Valerian asked incredulously, staring down at the diminutive old lady.
Valerian stared so hard his eyes looked like they'd fall out. Marrbisi Academy? The first ranked school in Bathar? Of course Valerian had heard of it! He'd never dreamed he'd be invited to attend but he'd definitely dreamed about it. Eight hills and Ivory Spire were the only top ten schools to have ever shown interest in him and all they did was give him the opportunity to apply. Even that had nearly been enough for him to pack his bags and run there. This…this was… Right then, Valerian came to his senses.
"How do you know about that?" Valerian asked in shock. That agreement was supposed to be a secret. Even he only knew the circumstances surrounding it because he had eavesdropped on his grandfather blackmailing Major Berkeley. The special clauses were all confidential. They didn't even kick in until after he had graduated with a distinction and the signatories were required to never mention it.
Valerian shook his head, numb at the revelation.
"Then I'll get you an even better deal. All you have to do is become my apprentice", she said, reaffirming her position.
"I-I… It's not my decision to make", Valerian said with regret.
"You spoke to my grandfather?" he asked in disbelief.
Valerian nodded, reaching out for the offered talisman. His head was spinning. Was this actually happening? A glance at his trembling hand told him it was. He didn't even have to put in the signature. The call was already in the queue, ready to go out. He activated the tool. The call was answered almost immediately.
"Grandfather!" he called out tentatively.
"But…" he tried to get a word in.
With that, the call was terminated. Valerian stood there, holding the inactive talisman, his face slack with confusion. He glanced at the old lady, a bit of fear in his eyes. How much planning went into this? As willing as he was, there was something terrifying about how he had been cornered and robbed of his choice. Giving up, he kowtowed in front of her.
Lady Bloodworth smiled and sipped from her cup.
"I am ready and willing, ma'am!" Valerian exclaimed.
"Secondly, you will be coming with me to Marrbisi. Unfortunately, that means you can no longer attend Strapping's. It will be a bit troublesome to bring you in so late in the term but I can't also leave you here. Word will get out eventually and news that you'll be leaving will not make for a comfortable situation for you", she told him.
"I'm afraid you'll have to return home for the time being. I'll have you brought in next term officially as a transfer student. That way you can complete the year at my school. It will also give you some time to scrounge up some respectable gear", she added, giving his armour an appraising stare, one that made Valerian suddenly feel very poor and naked.
Valerian felt his face burn as she dressed him down and picked at him. It hurt that his prized gear, the best Valerian had ever had, did not amount to much in her eyes. Even the way she spoke about his clan said a lot. It let him understand the depth of the pool he had fallen into. In the meantime, the officer in the corner continued to give him that same look of pity and schadenfreude.
"Teacher, the boy was suspicious of you", came the voice of Marshal Strapping. He'd arrived in time to see the tail end of the discussion. Saying nothing, he'd watched in silence.
His apprentice hastily stepped forward with greetings.
"Still, you didn't have to slander my school to get him to agree", he pointed out.
"Did I slander your school, Augustus?" the old lady asked.
He did not reply. It was true. Nothing she said was a lie per se. She just didn't state the full facts. The fact that that painted his centre in a bad light was a separate matter. Her former apprentice could do nothing but sigh.
It was true that his centre focused more on the group than the individual and that that practice could have detrimental effects on individual growth. However, what his teacher had failed to mention was that this was only true for the first year. His instructors were under orders to make sure that all the cadets met a certain baseline in terms of basic skills. It was only when this was done that specialisations came into play.
First-year cadets were practically baby chicks. The first term only taught them the basics, military terminology, cultivation practice, combat and survival training, etc. By the end of this first year, the instructors would have enough information on their cadets to identify their interests and talents. They could then make recommendations and draw up plans in preparation for their second year.
The second year was where Strapping's training truly took off. That's because this was when the often mentioned specialisations kicked in. Strapping's trained elite for the army. Many tend to forget that there were a lot of roles in the army. Machinists, array masters, spies, scouts, scryers, warders, benedictors, maledictors, healers, dragoons, beast tamers, etc. All were needed in the army and Strapping's trained cadets to fit in most if not all of those roles.
For example, Valerian's squadmate, Berengar, had been trained from birth as a mounted knight. He was quite capable on foot but before coming to Strapping's his skills off his horse paled before his skills when mounted. Unfortunately for him, first-years weren't allowed their own mounts in Strapping's. Then, there were people like Pugio who had very advanced skills but needed certain environments to fully display them. You couldn't well spy on and assassinate people in the middle of a battlefield, could you? Skills like these were being ignored now but come second year, that would change.
Lady Bloodworth had deviously avoided mentioning any of that. Augustus admitted that he had no staff on hand that could teach an array master as gifted as Valerian and his expert on phantasms was busy overseeing the graduating class but the boy had so much potential in other areas. Illusions and wards to mention a couple and as for his combat skills… he had really looked forward to what his institute could make out of the boy.
He'd had his eye on Valerian from the day the first assessments were done and the report of the entrance exam was given to him. A dual force user who also happened to be the youngest array master in the country. Lord Strapping had already resolved to recruit him from the moment he read that report. Regrettably, he had decided to leave Valerian in the system to mature a little bit first and now, that choice had come back to bite him.
It was a queer sight. A diminutive woman standing on her toes and a very tall man practically bowing so she could reach him. General Grayson looked away from their intimate moment. He was aware that the relationship between his master and Lady Bloodworth was not simply one of student and teacher. The woman was practically his mother. There was nothing she could ask for that he wouldn't give and vice versa.
"Sean!", came the old lady's voice.
"Yes, Lady Bloodworth!" he promptly answered.
She handed him a jade chest that had all sorts of softly glowing glyphs carved on it and an ancient wooden slip. Taking a brief glance inside the chest, Sean, gasped. There was an imperial ranked, earthen crux in it. While not priceless, it was not something he could afford, not even if he sold himself.
"I can't take this!" he said staunchly even though his heart burned with desire. He didn't even check the wooden slip. He could tell that it had to be worth as much if not more than the item in the chest. He was afraid his heart would not be able to refuse. It was fighting him already.
"Thank my teacher and stop being perfunctory, Sean!" his master told him.
Feeling like several birthdays had come at once, General Grayson thanked his master's teacher profusely. Soon the old lady retired to her chambers and left the two men alone. A few minutes after she left, Sean gave voice to a question that was bugging him.
"Master, you seemed dead set on the Steelborn earlier. What made you give him up so easily?" he asked.
I'm not sure how I feel about the old lady, on one hand she's about to die if the dude is right, but on the other she wasn't very truthful to Valerian. We'll see how this turns out. Thanks for the chapter, have a nice day!
You have a point. She didn't even give him the chance to refuse. Now, Lady Bloodworth might see something special in Valerian or she might have ulterior motives but like you said, we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

Abstract: This paper is aimed to investigate on of famous Sasaknese Folklore, Princess Mandalika. The investigation focused on feminism in this folklore showed by the main character of the story is that Princess Mandalika and the environment, in this case in the Kingdom. The method conducted in this paper is qualitative method by analyzing the data in form of folklore in English version. Based on the analysis in this paper, Princess Mandalika showed feminism in equality of moral and having right to choose and make decision as the woman, not like in patriarchy system that rule and control women.
Keywords: feminism, folklore, sasaknese
Folklore as oral tradition can be found almost in every part of Indonesia. It is spread out in society which have different story based on tribes who live in each island and their culture. Folklore in certain society describes culture developed in that society. It can be seen how culture in society by understanding the folklore. Folklore developed in the society since long time ago and told by word of mouth from generation to generation (Dundes, 2007, p. 53).
The difference of folklore in every tribe in a certain place can be influenced by nature and beliefs of the tribe. In Lombok can be found many folklores spread out in Sasaknese, the origin of Lombok people, such as Princess Mandalika, Princess Rengganis, Dewi Anjani. Those are the famous folklores that spread out in Lombok and believed by Sasaknese. Those three samples of Lombok folklore, the main characters are woman. All of those folklores told about how woman's role in her society told in the story. It is very interesting considered patriarchal culture is very strong in Sasaknese at the past till know.
In this paper, the writer will focused on one folklore as an object of research is that Princess Mandalika. This research will find and discuss about feminism and to what extent the role of woman character in the story. As we know that feminism is ism about woman movement for right and equality. As Tyson (2006, p. 116) argues that "For centuries feminism has worked for gender equality: for a dissolution of the patriarchal gender roles that, even today, continue to short-circuit efforts to achieve complete equality between women and men." From this point of view the researcher tries to find out how the woman's roles, in this case Princess Mandalika, are involved in the story.
2. Theoretical Framework
2.1 The Nature of Folklore
Nowadays, term of folklore commonly used in literature field because the development of discussion about folklore. Indeed, it is important to know what folklore is. It is aimed to know more about folklore and types in order to give brief knowledge to people. It is probably that people do not know the term of folklore even folklore is often told for them. So, they can't distinguish which one are folklore and other types of literary work.
The term folklore is generally used to refer to the traditional beliefs, myths, tales, and practices of a people which have been disseminated in an informal manner -- usually via word of mouth (americanfolklore.net). Folklore consist of two words, those are folk and lore. Folk is group of people who has physical characteristic feature, social and culture which can be differentiated with others. Those characteristics can be hair form, skin color, language, religion, beliefs and culture. While lore is a part of culture passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth or through example or mnemonic device (Danandjaja, 2003, p. 3).
Focused on the term folk and lore as part of term folklore was formed, the writer try to conclude what Dundes (2007, p. 3) mentioned about folk and lore terms. Folk means behavior act and social setting and lore means the content of folk. The unity of them, folk and lore give brief explanation what actually folklore is. As (Danandjaja, 2003) stated that "folklore is part of group's culture spread and passed down from generation to generation, traditionally in different version, orally or by example followed by sign or mnemonic device." If Danandjaja stated the folklore is partially of society's culture, Dundes (2007, p. viii) "folklore was a mirror of culture, a lens for society, a key to behavior, a projection of mind." In other word, folklore describes culture of certain society and through folklore can be seen how the society life in the past.
There are many types of folklore in society, such as folktale, myth, legend, fable, hero and heroine, god and goddesses, and fairy tales. Those types of folklore are generally divided into genre based on the characteristics of lore. According to Sims and Stephens (2011, pp. 12-16) folklore can be classified into three main genres:
1) Verbal folklore is a genre of folklore which includes any kind of lore involving words, whether set to music, organized in chronological story form, or merely labeling an activity or expressing a belief with a word or phrase. Some of the most recognizable forms of this genre which are studied by folklorists are folksongs, myths, and folktales.
2) Material folklore is a genre of folklore which takes a number of different forms such as architectural structures or functional tools, and some of it temporary, such as food, body painting, or paper ornaments.
3) Customary lore, is a genre of folklore in which it deals with people's custom. A custom itself is repeated, habitual action, a usual way of doing something.
2.2 Sasaknese Folklore
Before talking about Sasaknese folklore, I want to describe about Sasak and Lombok. Sasak is the name what people called tribes who live in Lombok Island and spread out in five regencies in Lombok. Lombok is a part of West Nusa Tenggara and divided into five regencies, those are West Lombok, Mataram City, Central Lombok, East Lombok, and North Lombok. Lombok has many beautiful beaches and Mountain which is the second highest Mountain in Indonesia, 3726 masl.
There are many folklore in Lombok and very well known by Sasak people. Those folklore are believed and develop until know in Lombok. The most famous folklore in Lombok such as Princess Mandalika, Dewi Rengganis, Cupak Gerantang, and Dewi Anjani. The story Princess Mandalika becomes background of an event held every year by Lombok people in Seger Beach around February and March, named Bau Nyale. While Dewi Anjani is story about Queen of Genie who lead all of the genies in Lombok Island and She Lives in Rinjani Mountain as her Kingdom. And also there are many folklore that spread out in Sasaknese people. Most of them told about the story based on the Kingdom period setting.
2.3 Feminism
Feminism becomes popular and sensitive term in nowadays in many fields such as politics, social movement and development, also in government. The term feminism often occurs and become topic in public discussion and academic forum held by Government Institution, Non Government Organization (NGO), Foundation and Social Movement Organization. It is usual to hear and read about "gender equality" in mass media whether printed or electronic. In public point of view Feminism is closely with term of feminist movement. This in line with what Hooks (2000, p. 1) stated, "feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression." From the definition can be seen that it is matter of different sex, between male and female, man and woman. Those different caused different of way treating someone based on sex.
Above has already explained the definition of feminism according to Hooks, sated that feminism is a movement. Moreover, feminism consists of ideas and actions in unity. Feminism is not only understand as ism but struggled become condition that appropriate for the woman through movement by people who beliefs it, called as feminist. Feminism concern with women's inferior position in society and discrimination encountered by women because of different sex. Feminist movement deal with changes in the social, economic, political or cultural order, to reduce and eventually overcome this discrimination against the women (Freedman, 2001, p. 1).
It is become universal movement in feminism, even as a universal basis assumption of feminism is that cultural order, patriarchy or masculine domination. Butler (1990, p. 3) argues:
The political assumption that there must be a universal basis for feminism, one which must be found in an identity assumed to exist cross-culturally, often accompanies the notion that the oppression women has some singular form discernible in the universal or hegemonic structure of patriarchy or masculine domination.
Patriarchy is common "enemy" for feminism in culture of society. Patriarchy as form of man domination put women as subordination of man in structure of society and family. In line with Tyson (2006, p. 87) "patriarchy is thus, by definition, sexist, which means it promotes the belief that women are innately inferior to men". This happen almost in all of culture in many tribe's life in Indonesia.
From those definitions of feminism I want to separate it into two main elaborations of feminism based on my interpretation. It is important to clarify dealing with this research that will discuss about feminism within the folklore as an object in this research. First, as an idea, feminism is movement to end discrimination happen to the women in their daily life. Feminist beliefs that they can be equal position same as men in work, government, society, there is no limitation based on different sex. Second, feminism as an action, feminist wants to have power and role in society, act with the power and role they can do such as leader in government and organization, make a decision for themselves like what men do. Both of ideas and action actually as unity in feminism.
3. Method
Research in this paper is qualitative method in which the data gotten from one of Lombok Local Folklore is that Princess Mandalika. Then, the data will be analyzed based on reader's point of view and refer to academic writing, books, scientific article, journal and material from blog or web.
Princess Mandalika is one of famous Folklore in Lombok believed by Sasaknese, Lombok People. The setting of this story was in Central Lombok, one of regency in West Nusa Tenggara. The climax of this story happen in a beautiful beach named Seger Beach part of Tourism Area Kuta Beach Lombok. Because this story as a folklore, there is no valid time mention within it. The English version summary of the story taken from (http://ceritarakyatnusantara.com/en/folklore/41-Princess-Mandalika-the-Origin-of-Bau-Nyale-Festival) as follow:
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom in Lombok Island that was ruled by a king named Raja Tonjang Beru. He was a wise king. He had a queen named Dewi Seranting. He also had a beautiful daughter named Princess Mandalika. It is said that princess Mandalika was the prettiest girl in the whole island. Everybody knew about Princess Mandalika's beauty and kindness, even the people from other kingdom around the island.
Princes from all over the place wanted to marry her. One by one, they came to propose her. Princess Mandalika was a kind girl. She hated to make people sad. So, when those princes came to propose her, she was very confused. She could not decide, and she didn't want to make them sad. She also didn't want to cause a war to happen because of her.
To solve the problem, Raja Tonjang Beru then held a competition in Seger Kuta beach. He asked all the princes to take part in archery competition. The rule was simple; whoever shot the target perfectly will be accepted as Princess Mandalika's future husband. One by one, all participants tried their best. After some time, there was no winner. All the participants were great in archery.
Because there was no a winner, all the participants started to argue. They claimed to be the best. The argument was getting hotter. Finally, they all were fighting. Soon, the fighting got bigger. It was like a war, because all the princes brought their soldiers in the archery competition. Princess Mandalika was really worried. She did not want the war to get bigger and hurt many people. Finally, she had an idea. "Everybody, listen up! I know you all love me and want me to be your wife. But I don't want you to fight because of me. And I don't want you to be sad either. I want you all to have me, but not as your wife. I want to be someone that everybody can have," said Princess Mandalika.
Raja Tonjang Beru and all other people in the beach did not understand what she meant. The king then came to her. But suddenly, Princess Mandalika jumped to the sea. She disappeared in the big waves. Everybody was surprised. It was chaos on the beach. All the princes tried to swim to find the princess, but they found nothing.
After several hours trying to search the princess, suddenly they found a lot of colorful sea worms on the beach. Raja Tonjang Beru then realized that his daughter had returned as sea worms. The worms were then called Nyale. Until now, people in Lombok always try to catch nyale. Nyale is very delicious and that is why a lot of people come to Lombok to catch it. However, they can only find it once a year, in February or March. The tradition to catch the sea worms is called Bau Nyale.
From the story of Princess Mandalika there are some discussion will be elaborate based on the reader's point of view refer to feminism focus on Princess Mandalika act in the story. The discussion will be presented based on the citation of story's sequence.
First of all, discussion will be started by analysis of when Princess Mandalika was given chance to decide whether accepted or refused the Prince who came to marry her. There is no force from her Father, The King. It is extremely contrary, unusual custom in Royal Family that let Princess decided by herself about who will be her husband. Usually the decision maker is The King as her Father.
According to what Princess Mandalika got, the right to decide about her marry, is far from patriarchy. Patriarchy is a assumption of that males are superior of females and should rule over the females (Hooks, 2000, p. ix). Yet, it is not occur in the story that The King as a father (Male), ruled over his daughter (female) to marry the Prince that He chosen for Princess Mandalika. The story showed us how female (Princess Mandalika) has right to decide her marriage. Till Princess Mandalika decided to refuse all the princes propose by her way.
Second analysis is about Princess Mandalika decision to jump to the sea as the solution in avoiding war. She did not choose one of the princes, because if she chooses one of them, war will happen and the victims are the people. It showed us how high morality The Princess had, she disposed to sacrifice herself for the sake of the people in the island. She said that she is not for one person but for all of the people. This kind of humanity which is think and act for others and not selfish.
Moral showed by Princess Mandalika as part of feminism which demands equal assumption in morality. Freedman (2001, p. 19) argues "One facet of sexual difference that has been explored by feminists is that of women's different moral stance". The feminist want to undertaken the claims about a biologically determined sexual difference in morality, women is weaker in moral development than men. This claim argued by Frued in (Freedman, 2001, p. 19) "a biologically determined sexual difference in morality". By the action of Princess Mandalika sacrifice herself in order to give peace and save for the people showed us women's moral is not weak, not lower than men. It is equal between women and men; women have morality as well as men. It is not just focused on ethic care only as claim of Carol Gilligan in (Freedman, 2001, p. 19).
From the Sasaknese folklore Princess Mandalika shows us about feminism in action, not only in ideas. Having right to choose her future husband without forced by his father showed there is no male rule (patriarchy) in the story. The sacrificing of Princess Mandalika to avoid war among the princes who has numerous armies and change into Nyale (sea worm) which can be eat for all of people as a part of feminism in equality of moral. Women can have morality and care about others even the have to sacrifice themselves for sake of the people need. The feminism in this folklore can be followed by Sasaknese women that they can do same as what men do and have moral as well as men.

The LoveWorld Nation's President Pastor Chris Oyakhilome kick-started the ministry's 2019 Higher Life Conference Port Harcourt on Friday.
The Man of God's entry into the Adokie Amiesiemaka Stadium was greeted by rapturous ovation of thousands of participants as he led the congregation in worship sessions and ministrations sparked by his rendition of "The Old Rugged Cross".
Pastor Chris then expounded John 3:16—about eternal life for believers.
According to him, the portion of the Scripture was the sovereign declaration of Almighty God separating those who believe from destruction, waste, failure and damnation.
"What is everlasting life? To understand everlasting life you have to understand eternal life. When you use the term eternal, you mean ageless, without a beginning, without end," he said.
He also differentiated between everlasting and eternal, saying when God makes someone eternal He imparts that one with everlasting life, although that man has a beginning.
The conference which began Friday will continue through Sunday in the Garden City.
And the three days will be packed with teaching by Pastor Chris who will be expanding, revealing, illuminating and renewing Christians' understanding of God and the Christian life.
"It will be a time of power, purpose and plenty in the Holy Ghost. Many will be ushered into a higher realm of glory in Christ Jesus, where all things are possible," said the programme's Organizing Committee Chairman, Pastor Amaechi Udeaku.

This blog is about my experiences on the growing edge of our ministry with kids, students, young adults, their families, and the larger church. It includes posts about my ministry priorities and attitudes, systems and strategies, and lessons learned. But, ministry with the next generation also includes internal struggles with change and self doubt, the external pressures of expectations, the realities of long working days, the exponentially difficult learning curve of managing a growing ministry, the relentless cry of crisis and need, and many more issues that one experiences when your own context for ministry is constantly changing. So I share these posts with you with transparency and openness, hoping to let you in on what it's like … even hoping for feedback and continued conversation.
But, you must know this: I am, without a doubt, committed to growth…kingdom growth…ministry growth…spiritual growth…and…personal growth…growth for the sake of God's redemptive mission in this world. I'm always stretching forward, seeking God's vision for the present and the future; identifying current challenges and thinking of new possibilities. Yet, at the same time, I try to remain committed to certain standards, values, and biblical priorities. Sometimes commitment to these principles can lead to growth and sometimes they must be fought for in spite of growth.
That is where I always find myself … on the growing edge of ministry with the next generation.
I've been in youth ministry since early 1992. While I was the Student Pastor in our current church, the student ministry grew over 8 years from about 75 students average weekly attendance to about 175-200 average weekly attendance with approximately 270 total active students. In 2014, we did some staff restructuring and I became the NextGen Pastor. Our NextGen ministry consists of 5 staff (Pastor, Director of Student Ministries, Director of Kids Ministries, Worship Leader for Students, and Worship Leader for Kids) and about 140 volunteers providing spiritual care for about 500 people ages 0-30.
We are an Evangelical Covenant Church and our general weekly attendance has grown over the same period of time from about 600 to about 950 (the average number of separate individual adults, youth, and children who attend our Sunday and Wednesday ministries) with about 1500 active attenders who call the Covenant Church their spiritual home. Of course, we certainly are not a large church relative to the mega-churches and giga-churches of today. However, relative to our little town of 15,000 people (30,000 in the zip code), the growth has been pretty exciting…exhausting….but exciting.
