FDA Allowed Unsafe Seafood Onto Market After BP Oil Spill Disaster
A study accuses the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of allowing seafoods with unsafe levels of contaminants to enter the food chain after the BP oil disaster. A study carried out by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and published in the peer-reviewed Environmental Health Perspective reports that the FDA underestimated the risk of cancer from accumulated contaminants in the seafood - especially the risk for pregnant mothers and children who live in the area.
In some cases, the FDA let through foods with 10,000 times too much contamination. The federal Agency is also accused of not identifying the risks for children and pregnant mothers. It appears the FDA used faulty assumptions and obsolete risk assessment methods.
The NRDC has today filed a petition urging the FDA to set limits on PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) that can be present in seafood. It is vital that the country's pregnant mothers, children, and individuals with high seafood consumption be protected, the NRDC added.
BP oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico - (NASA's Terra satellite on May 24, 2010)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, also known as PAHs, poly-aromatic hydrocarbons or polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are powerful atmospheric pollutants, consisting of fused aromatic rings that contain no heteroatoms or carry substituents. The simplest form of PAH is naphthalene. PAHs can be found in tar deposits, coal and oil; they are also produced as a by-product of burning fossil or biomass fuels.
PAHs are of concern to human health because some of their compounds have been linked to cancer risk - there is also talk of their mutagenic (can cause genes to mutate) and teratogenic (can cause birth defects) harms. PAHs may be present in cooked foods - cooking meat at very high temperature, such as barbecuing or grilling can raise their PAH levels. Smoking fish may also have a similar effect. PAHs can also cause liver damage.
FDA underestimated risks to pregnant mothers and children
One of the researchers, Miriam Rotkin-Ellman, said:
"Our findings add to a long list of evidence that FDA is overlooking the risks from chemical contaminants in food. We must not wait for people to get sick or cancer rates to rise, we need FDA to act now to protect the food supply."
The authors of the study concluded:
"FDA risk assessment methods should be updated to better reflect current risk assessment practices and to protect vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children."
In her blog, Rotkin-Ellman wrote that the FDA had calculated that 123,000 micrograms of naphthalene per kg of shrimp was a safe level for human consumption. According to the calculations of her team, the limit should have been 5.91 micrograms if pregnant women and children who eat a lot of seafood are to be protected. Even for non-pregnant adults, they worked out that the safe limit should only be 46.99 micrograms of naphthalene per kg of shellfish.
According to the scientists calculations, if 1,000 pregnant women and their children consumed Gulf seafood with contamination limits set by the FDA, 20 of the children born to those women would be at considerable risk of cancer caused by the contamination.
Rotkin-Ellman wrote:
"This is not public health protection. Major reforms are needed at FDA to better safeguard our food supply."
When Rotkin-Ellman and team gathered data on testing of PAH levels of shellfish after the BP oil spill, they found that up to 53% of the tested shrimps had PAH levels above their own revised safety limits for pregnant mothers and children (who eat a lot of shellfish).
Rotkin-Ellman added:
"Instead of saying it was safe for everyone to eat, pregnant women and children should have been warned and advised to reduce their Gulf shellfish consumption."
The scientific team say they have been concerned about this issue for some time. They could not understand how the FDA had deviated so much from the guidelines of other agencies and even its own prior practice after previous oil spills.
To find out why, they asked the FDA for documents under the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act). After a year of non-stop wrangling to get the appropriate documents, through the FOIA request, they discovered that the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) had proposed stricter health protections from contamination - these proposals were ignored. Even some FDA staff, apparently, said the protections should be stronger.
In an email, the EPA told the FDA that it underestimated the risks for many seafood consumers, particularly those living on the Gulf Coast.

Home Christian Testimonies For Youth Jordan Smith Reveals Plans For The Future After Winning The Voice.
For Jordan Smith, the reality of winning the TV show "The Voice" is still sinking in but that isn't stopping him from planning for his future.
For now, Smith plans to create songs that would inspire people. He learned while being in "The Voice" just how impacting certain music can be and how it provoke emotions, and he intends to promote positive ones.
"I want to be creative and make the music I want to make, but I also want to be practical about that and understand exactly where I'm going to fit in. My plan will have to be tailored for artists like me, and I won't be able to follow the path that just any artist could follow.
So I'm excited to find my sound and figure out what that's going to be, and then find the right way to market that and get it out there for people to buy it. But I'm not overly concerned with how it's going to go. What I've done so far has been successful – in the sense that people have been inspired by it, and that is what I consider success, not how much it sells. So I'm going to keep being me and doing what I do, and if that doesn't work, then I don't know what else to do. I think the most important thing for me right now is to be the exact artist that I am and not try to be anything I'm not. And I do think I'm in a place that really supports that decision." He continues.
"I want to make music that people connect with. I think there are songs out there that when you hear them, they bring you back to a certain place. I want to make music like that. I think I've learned on the show just how powerful music can be when it comes from your heart and means something to you," he said.
Smith admitted that he never really considered himself as a performer, only a singer. He initially thought that he would have zero chances of making it onto the show, but life has a way of surprising people.
Jordan also shared that he wants to have the opportunity to sing the national anthem during the Superbowl sometime. But for now he is excited about singing it for the NHL at their Winter Classic in Boston Ma.

If you can find a space
Toul to Liverdun
We had had a plan originally, that we would take Graham, Jill and May on a little excursion through a completely different part of France, one where access to shops and transport would be limited. With that in mind, Graham arranged at the outset to arrive by car, and things were tickety-boo.
That of course was before things stopped being tickety-boo on the waterway we had planned to visit, and so it came to be that we had a new plan, and a car that was somewhat surplus to requirements for a day or two, so the two blokes in our company took it upon themselves to deliver it to a nice safe spot near our new destination in Nancy to await our arrival. All went well until after we had actually parked in the Port Carpark, and announced our arrival to our friendly Port Capitaine.
We were told quite firmly that it was alright to park where we were parked for a few days providing we could find a place to park. No matter how many times we repeated our question, even pointing to the car, the answer remained the same, and each time it was repeated there was clearly a growing level of frustration with our stupidity. How did we think we could we stay if we couldn't find a place?
Eventually, we concluded that if we found a place to park in the exact spot our stationary car currently occupied, we would probably be OK, so thanked the gentleman for his assistance and quietly tip-toed from the carpark, running to the bus stop without looking back.
For the whole of our gentle cruise down river to Liverdun that afternoon we struggled to find where our question, or its interpretation had failed. Had the conversation been in a language other than English, perhaps we could have invented a reason.
Some leave, some arrive
On other days when people are due to arrive for an extended visit, we have been known to panic ever so slightly. For reasons that cannot be explained some sort of calm descended on us and we figured that if anything remained undone by the time the three of them arrived, we'd just have three more people to help finish whatever it was.
With that thought humming happily in the backs of our heads, we hitched a lift with Ethan and Leslie as they headed down the canal, after all we hadn't been on a moving boat since yesterday morning, so needed a fix.
After a couple of locks and a few bridges we bade them farewell, promising to catch up with them when next we were both on the same side of the ocean and walked happily along the tow path, recharged and ready to procrastinate our way through whatever remained of the day.
Despite, or perhaps because of our laid back start to the day, we seemed to be in perfect shape by the time the three musketeers arrived, so much so that we, all five spent the afternoon just as amiably as the morning, variously wandering the cobbles of the village or testing the skills of its bakers and coffee makers.
There be Dragons!
After delivering his unsurprising diagnosis, Dr Duncan left us to wend our merry way home quite early in the morning, agreeing to see us in a month or so when we in turn would have Mr Perkins ready for surgery. I know how he felt, our Mr P, as he valiantly pretended there was nothing wrong, chugging away uphill with a steady beat.
Steady is not how anyone could describe the beat of the drum that would have shattered our afternoon tranquility had we found it by the time it began. The distinct sound of a solitary percussion instrument being belted with a stick clattered its way across the water, and then did it again.
Usually one associates drum beats with a rhythm of some kind, but there was none discernible from this instrument.
On inspection, quite unbelievably the drummer was seated in nothing less than a full sized dragon boat that had appeared from nowhere, perhaps landed from outer space, and which was moving at an indifferent pace, but moving none the less. The object of the drummer appeared to be attempting valiantly but unsuccessfully to give everyone in the boat a turn at being in time with it, as the boat was rather inexpertly propelled from the lock. The important thing though was that every one of its occupants was having as much fun doing, as we were watching, perhaps more.
They'd just come down a lock for crying out loud, and managed to get out of it alive, and there were still hours till sunset to enable them to get to the next one, and even if they didn't make it, the water here is crystal clear so their bodies would be easy to recover.
Fortunately for the future of French Dragon Boat racing, they didn't attempt the dangerous washing machine ride back up the locks, but after a few hours paddling haphazardly down the Moselle were returned by bus and trailer with nought but thoughts of future victories in their heads.
I wonder what Mr Perkins was thinking?
Dr Duncan
We've been talking about having Mr Perkins "seen to" for quite some time now, and really it was time to do our business or as they say, get off the pot, so we had arranged for a house call from Dr Duncan, who appeared exactly at the appointed hour, prodded, shook his head meaningfully and suggested that it would be more appropriate if we dropped Mr P down to his surgery a couple of locks downstream for more tests in the morning.
That threw a bit of a spanner into our plans it must be said, although to be accurate, the reason for popping down to the workshop was that is where Duncan keeps his spanners and testing gear, but we were expecting Leslie and Ethan to arrive in the afternoon and we definitely had to be back by the morrow when May and Graham and Jill were due. After all that is why we came to Toul in the first place.
But there was no need to fret.
The Kings Beach Americans arrived in time for us to arrange for them to walk down the tow path to pay us a visit in the evening, and the little jaunt, once we passed the nasty person bridge that seemed to be waiting to swallow us whole, was actually very pleasant.
As indeed was the evening
Mirabelles!
Mirabelles are a small golden plum that are, if not endemic to the Lorraine region, one of its specialties. In this area if one can't find a Mirabelle tart or conserve, or flavoured icecream, or thickshake of which to partake, one is probably lying in a darkened room sucking on one's thumb.
Most locals have an inbuilt ability to sniff a ripe mirabelle at a thousand paces, so it didn't take Jacques very long at all to discover the trees just below the lock, nor did it take any convincing that the ripe mirabelles would look very good in a tart later in the evening.
The trees are on public property, but that doesn't mean that they aren't considered to be "owned" by the person who tends them, so it was deemed prudent to make enquiries before attempting to harvest someone else's crop. Jacques, having significantly less of a language barrier than the rest of us was duly elected to make said enquiries, the result of which seemed to be that the lock keeper considers that the trees are his, but he is asleep at the moment, so if we only take a few and he doesn't wake up before we are gone it will be OK.
It was OK.
So here we were in Toul on a bright sunny day with a ship-load of washing to do and Jacques and Maggie coming for the night. We really should have been provisioning and cleaning and sorting things out, but we had heard that Nick and Diana were in Nancy and it might be another few years before our paths cross again so we did the only sensible thing under the circumstances, and took the early train to Nancy, leaving the washing to sort itself out, which it has a habit of doing.
Nick and Diana as it turns out were travelling in company for a few days with Leslie and Ethan, friends of theirs ostensibly from the US, but in reality for five months of the year they live at Kings Beach, less than a kilometre from the place we call home when we are not calling this place home.
After a morning discussing everything from rope to the best place to buy bread in Shelly Beach, it probably goes without saying that we had barely enough time for a second cup of coffee before we were on the bus for the return journey, a journey which gave us plenty of time to once again contemplate the the surreality of life in a port five hundred kilometres from the ocean.
Welcome to Toul
Richardmenil to Toul
We've had such a glorious time of our commute to Toul, sliding down ice-calm waterways under clear blue skies that it would have been an anti climax to have arrived had it not been for the Council throwing a small party for us in the harbour this evening.
We thought we'd sneak in and quietly go about our chores for a few days until the horde arrived, but in no time flat we'd found ourselves a vantage point on someone else's boat, and were marvelling about how well "The Village People's" sounded on a piano accordion with lyrics translated to French, and wondering why the letters "YMCA" seemed to have survived in their original language.
Perhaps "E-grek, Emm, Cee, Arr" could have been confused for something sung in "pirate".
Not at all disappointingly by the time the evening ended, which was somewhere near the time that the new day technically had begun, there had been no chores undertaken, and the calendar for the coming days was looking a bit along the lines of "they'll have to wait till after the visitors go."
Vincey to Richardmenil
The old familiar mist is back every morning now.
The one that hangs above the water until the morning sun burns it away has been absent, as the morning sun seems to come on as though by switch of late, and the lack of cloud is an indicator that there is little in the way of actual humidity to bring the mist into being.
No, the mist to which I refer is the rapidly re-established splutterings of our dear Mr Perkins. It's as though he doesn't want to go home yet, coughing and wheezing as he does when we first give him a nudge out of bed. Oh he recovers well enough once he's underway, but I do think it's time we put him in the care of a surgeon.
It is quite nice though, the smell of diesel fumes in the morning once one gets used to it.
Epinal to Vincey
On one of our first visits to France I knelt, bare legged in a patch of cool green vegetation to find a better angle from which to compose a photograph of a barge moored a little further along the bank. The cool green vegetation turned out to be a thing called "stinging nettle" and I learned several things that day as the blood pumped through my system at a greater rate of knots than usual.
For instance, not all cool green vegetation is cool, and if one is going to kneel in the stuff one really should be wearing something other than shorts.
I also learned that there is a particular bush with spotty leaves that can always be found nearby that has properties which immediately relieve the symptoms of the nettle's dastardly work but apparently unusually it didn't seem to be around on that particular day. On many occasions since, I have been told of this wonder plant and yet despite my constant enquiry, no one has been actually able to show me said organism.
I am convinced that the spotty plant is mere urban myth, in the category of scary escapees banging severed heads on car roofs to attract the attention of the occupants.
This evening we chose to moor against the cycle path in the shadows of the forest between Vincey and Charmes where there was a nice wall, rather than mooring amid the monster crop of nettle opposite where it could remain unsaid that there was no spotty antidote plant in evidence.
Cycle paths are usually deathly silent once night cloaks them, completely devoid of life and scary murderers of even the most innocuous kind, let alone those of urban myth proportion.
So therefore we were somewhat taken aback when (it could only be one of them) screamed a very loud and some would say blood-curdling:
"YAAAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!"
through our cabin window at two thirty this morning! He woke us of course, far too late for us to thrust nettles into his face even had we had the presence of mind to arm ourselves accordingly, and I suspect he could hear our hearts pumping as he cycled off into the blackness.
Eventually though, we resumed our repose, and lived to tell the tale to boot.

Seeking Colour
We know better than to venture downtown on a Monday, after all why would anything be open the day after a weekend, but today is Tuesday and it seemed safe enough to attempt a stroll in search of a little colour.
But it's Tuesday in August of course, so all of the bakers have gone on holidays except thankfully the very one that we sought out and the covered market was open according to the sign, from Monday to Wednesday, and indeed technically it was but devoid of all but one hopeful trader within. Everyone down=town has scampered off to the coast or to the mountains or the town in which they were raised for their summer holiday, leaving the place as silent as an electric car.
But the the colour was there none the less.
Seeking a tranquil harbour
PK 103 to Epinal
Having been evicted from Epinal last year, and failed to enter at all earlier this one, perhaps it was an anti-climax to simply motor down the branch canal in glorious sunshine and secure ourselves in the calm of the port this afternoon.
The "calm" of the port implies some sort of storm from which we were seeking refuge I suspect, but we weren't seeking refuge or even respite from anything but our drive towards Toul, and perhaps the unforgiving summer sun in a cloudless blue sky.
We arrived tired but happy of course, and in time for a snooze and a cup of tea as well as to greet the evening hordes as they magically appeared with their children and bicycles along the waterway, seeking some respite of their own from the heat of the city. The port here is like that, a kilometre or more from the centre of town, with a restaurant and and apparently endless supply of waterside gardens and pathways, yet the crowds when they arrive are quiet and happy enough and normally do not disrupt our own comings and goings or sitting stills.
Unlike the roadworks crew who completed their job by half-past very early, just in time for the street lights to be turned off and to allow us a few moments of sleep before the morning traffic began its serenade.
Fontenoy-le Chateau to PK 103
A "PK" is a notional kilometre mark, like the milestones of old marking distances along the inland waterways. No matter how hard we try to tell ourselves we are relaxed, we can't get away from the shadow of a looming deadline. We have another two hundred and fifty PK's to pass and what must be something like a hundred or more locks or so to pass as well if we are to be in Toul in a little over a week.
While that is a conservative deadline in theory, we have decided to to make some miles for a couple of days to position ourselves better should we suffer unexpected delay.
That meant that after our lunchtime picnic stop in the middle of nowhere in particular, which Ron and Robyn quite sensibly decided would make a delightful overnight spot for themselves as well, we struck out alone once more to "put some water under the keel."
We are climbing at the moment, all day with locks sometimes just a few hundred metres apart and a constant audience of cyclists and hikers on the tow paths as the summer holidays reach their peak. With each lock comes a rise of just a few metres, but we never fail to find enjoyment at the nature of the journey, entering each chasm with no idea of what we will find above, and invariably as we rise a new vista presents itself, appearing in our windows so that it is as if we are watching a constantly changing slide show.
It is as though each time we have a new window in a different place in the world as the change in scenery magically appears from above a dull grey wall; a child or two, a grandparent, a bicycle, a boat turned into a flower box, snow white, a vintage car, a pair of drunks in fisticuffs, we have learned to expect the unexpected.
Tonight we will be just a few locks short of the top of our ascent and when we get there, we are going to miss going up.
Fontenoy-le Chateau
The window display in the second-hand shop in Fontenoy-le-Chateau contained such an eclectic collection of objects that it reminded us of one of those memory tests that used to entertain us at birthday parties when we were young.
Seemingly unrelated things combine to tell a little of the story of a town which was once in the centre of such diverse activities as wire and nail manufacturing district, and embroidery not to mention that of course the world's largest man lived here in a time when the world's largest man was the size of the average patron of a fast food outlet today.
The real memory test for us though was one of language, and came at lunch time aboard the barge "Liberte" with Marie-Therese and Xavier. When we first met several years ago Xavier had explained that they had spent a whole winter in a British enclave one year with the intention of learning English, but due to the somewhat inward-looking nature of the folk in the port all he had succeeded in learning in English was "Hello", although he did admit that after a bottle of wine he finds himself perfectly pronouncing "I love you" as well.
Between Ron, Robyn and ourselves, we could scrape up enough phrases in French to proclaim something to the effect that "I am cheese" and "my dog is vindictive and malicious", although in the intervening years since our first meeting, Marie-Therese seems to fared a little better in progressing her foreign language skills.
With her occasional interjection of a key word or two into the conversation, the debate ebbed and flowed seemingly in direct proportion to the consumption of the proffered aperitif and the scene was set perfectly or a few hours of discussion that was entertaining if not informative to all concerned.
Selles to Fontenoy le Chateau
We may still be experiencing summer weather during the day, but there are very real signs that a change of season is just around the corner.
To begin, the chill in the morning air is a dead giveaway, and the fog that remains with us till almost nine is another clue. Another hint that some other kind of weather is on the way is the number of people in the villages who are readying themselves for a long season indoors. I suspect the reward for many summer afternoons spent splitting firewood is a similar number of winter afternoons spent in front of a fire.
If that wasn't enough to convince us we are starting to run into boats that are making their way to their wintering grounds. Our first reaction to that is that it seems to be terribly early but then we realise that we are indeed doing the same thing; heading towards home.
For reasons which are hard to explain, we are constantly occupied, whether by cycling to nearby villages to run small errands or by what seems to be an endless stream of friends who happen to be passing at the same time. It's difficult to find the time to do even routine things, like update this blog.
To those among you who have written concerned that all is not well, never fear it certainly is and the notes are safely stored outside like next month's firewood, ready to be brought indoors and put to good use once the weather changes!
Bois Barbey to Selles-Tourpont
After another mind-numbingly similar day to so many we have had of late; a perfect dawn with just a hint of mist, an early start, effortless cruising through scenic wonderland in perfect weather and so forth, we arrived in Selles with barely time to wander around many of its fountains before lunch in full view of the turning bridge.
The turning bridge, or Tourpont at Selles is a thing which lends it's name to anything within line of sight of it, so it goes without further explanation that our lunch venue was the Tourpont Hotel although when making the booking there seemed to be a lot of explanation necessary to ensure that we did not want to be seated by twelve exactly and that half-past the hour would be much better thanks very much.
The bridge itself is a big iron thing full of rivets that was built sometime in the nineteenth century to allow carts and horses and other vehicles to cross the canal. It's low clearance would have been problematic for the horse and women-drawn barges actually travelling along the canal had it not been for it's ingenious design which pivots it entirely out of the way of river borne things, including boats with crews intent on lunch.
Like it's twin a few kilometres further up stream it balances perfectly on a small set of wheels and the balance is so finely tuned that a smallish young lady who is charged with its operation can pivot it in silence with neither a squeak from its moving parts nor hers, by simply pushing on one end. A person prone to exaggeration would say that it moves at the touch of her fingers, but since I am not one of those, let me simply say that it actually takes a little body weight as well.
After our lunch at the aforementioned Turning Bridge Hotel, body weight was not in short supply either and since we've read somewhere that a nice afternoon nap is far better for one's health after a meal than strenuous exercise, we retired to the boat for a healthy afternoon.
Conflandey to Bois Barbey
We are moored in Bois Barbey this evening, which is not a place technically, but a piece of woodland in the middle of which is a little clearing and a long dock with bollards surrounded by calm and trees and filled with fish and birds and ducks, which for some reason one never thinks of as being birds. There is also a flat bit enclosed in barbed wire with a pond in the middle visible only to those who take some effort to do so, where some would have it that a factory once stood. They would tell you that the site is contaminated, and therefore one must assume that the pond is completely toxic, and since there are no signs indicating any of that, they are forced to presume that in the event of the pond overflowing it will undoubtedly find its ever diluted way into the river thereby ensuring that we will have no need for antifouling on the underside of our hull ever again.
As we passed through Corre earlier this afternoon, there was a sign at the edge of the port, I know this because it is clearly visible in my photographic expose of the FBI informant last year, and perhaps we wold have been advised to have read it before setting out to buy some chemicals of a different nature.
But we didn't and as a result after walking the requisite kilometre or so in the almost-rain to the supermarket at the edge of the civilised world, we found it to be absolutely and positively closed for lunch, A big cheery sign did offer that it would be open in the morning of the fifteenth of August should we be requiring anything then, and we made a mental note.
Eventually though, the cheery staff returned from lunch, we bought our toothpaste, wine and enough turkey to roast for tea, and set off happily into the afternoon until we found our clearing in the wood with its pond of ponderables.
On Litter
Scey-sur-Saone to Conflandey
Having already seen the sights of Port-sur-Saone twice this year, there seemed little point in stopping once again to appreciate the absence of things to appreciate, although we could have watched the workmen dismantling the stands used for the grand international fete of music and dance which naturally had wound up the day before yesterday, we moved a little further up the river.
This time with serious luncheon intent we moored in the forest opposite a chateau, at a private quay belonging to the restaurant "Moulin Rouge", (no not that one). Ron had assured us despite our misgivings, that the restaurant was not closed when we passed last, just sleeping for winter. If restaurants do sleep for winter, this one was sleeping very soundly indeed, and appears set to go on sleeping for the foreseeable future and beyond, but the signs on the dock welcomed us none the less, provided that we respected the property, stuck to the paths and lit no fires, and kept our litter to ourselves. So there we stayed.
This part of the world was once the centre of wire and nail manufacture, there is a village not far from here called exactly that "Manufacture" in fact, and the area is littered by the skeletons of buildings which once held factories of sufficient size to finance the chateaus that their owners seemed to litter the countryside with alacrity. I suspect there are as many chateaus (Private property our dog is malicious and vindictive) adjoining defunct factories in this neck of the woods as there are "Moulins Rouge" or churches of "Notre Dame", but all are equally as fascinating to peek into even in their ruined states.
We were sitting discussing just that on our private dock, over a quiet ham baguette when a gentleman with a large hungry looking dog appeared welcoming us to the place, but seeking assurance that Ron and Robin would not leave behind the yellow plastic bag they'd tied to mark a bollard trip hazard. Suitably assured he bad us farewell and went off in search of other things.
Unless one has a factory or barn in ruins to leave lying around, or perhaps a large dog on a small footpath, littering is simply not acceptable.
A nice ride.
Scey-sur-Saone
A year ago we were in Port-sur-Saone and lamented that the lack of bicycles aboard prevented us from travelling as far away our legs would allow, there being not much within the town that we hadn't seen after the first fifteen minutes of discovery.
Is there any irony therefore in the fact that this year on a Monday to boot, and being moored no fewer than twelve kilometres away, we used our bicycles not to escape, but to revisit the very same spot? We did this perhaps filled with some sense of optimism that things may have changed in the interim, but mostly I think filled with a desire to simply roll along on our bicycles beside the river, through the cornfields under a clear blue sky.
That and the need to find a post office.
Or perhaps we were simply drawn, like flies to honey or garden gnomes to a beaded curtain depicting a tropical paradise.
Pierced Stone
Savoyeux to Scey-sur-Saone
As we have done on two other occasions at so many places along this river, we haven't actually had the opportunity for one reason or another of heading along the river embranchment to Traves. On this particular day we made it a hat-trick of finding excuses not to go there by boat, the river is shallow there and to do so would after all, mean back tracking for a few hours.
But we seemed to be drawn there, either by the mystical qualities of the pierced stone for which the village is quite famous or perhaps by the perfect weather for having a long cycle ride through the country.
The stone, or 'stones' as it is referred to although we only found one has an unknown origin. Said to have been made thousands of years ago, perhaps as some sort of mysterious religious offering, none of our research to date is able to cast any light on the reason for it being.
After a delightful ride in the countryside it is fair to say that the solitary edifice we found in the middle of a cow pasture had not the slightest bit of mystery or mysticism in it. To us at least it seemed to be underwhelmingly free of psychic energy.
We pondered it for a bit, and decided that on balance, It's probably just an early wagon wheel that went flat and was abandoned by a frustrated bullocky.
Gray to Savoyeux
Twice before we have visited the village of Savoyeux, walking past the Saboteur's studio, past the signs proclaiming it as is usually the case, "Open on some day other than the one on which you have arrived."
Imagine our surprise therefore, when on this occasion there was no sign, just an open door inviting us to wander within. For those who may not be aware, a saboteur is not some sort of stealthy person sneaking around blowing up railway bridges in the middle of the night, but a maker of sabots; traditional wooden shoes.
As it turns out the Saboteur of Savoyeux is a charming youngish mother of six, who took some pains to explain in graphic sign language that her husband and the father of her brood had done a bunk, {may his gum boots get stuck in the mud!} leaving her to work alone in her studio, turning out wooden sabots clearly a little faster than they were required, knitting their liners from Angora she had spun and died, after plucking it from her goats and rabbits.
We spoke at length about many things, or at least we think it was many things as the conversation did become a little incomprehensible for a time in the middle, but in all of that we never did find a way of asking how she came to be wearing stilettos in her workshop.
I suspect the answer to that mystery will wait until next we pass on a day when the studio is open.
Media Circus
This morning, the four Australians who remained in port were supposed to be rent-a-crowd at the cemetery but when we arrived at the appointed place, a pleasing number were already in attendance, which is more than could be said for the television crew.
Completely unperturbed, Claudine demanded our presence at her house for lunch (just something quick and simple she said and by the way we must all go to Ria and Ed's place this evening for dinner(Ria was our guide in yesterday's tour), and arranged to pick us up for both events, but first would we mind terribly talking to a reporter from the local paper?
So somewhat bemused we completed our interview with the reporter, and with Ron and Robin continued on our whirlwind of extraordinary and wonderful social engagements.
It's not just us to be fair, Claudine confesses a penchant for hunting down the occupants of Australian boats. If every Tourist office in the world had a Claudine, world peace would surely quickly follow.
Welcome to Gray
"I'm Claudine from the tourist office", said the lady whose reputation had preceded her, while snapping photos of us and our boats for Facebook and in the interests apparently, of regional tourism.
We should not have been surprised therefore when she asked ever so nicely if we wouldn't mind coming for a tour of the cemetery tomorrow "just to make up the numbers in case no one else comes". She had arranged a television crew to attend the tour but was unsure of how well patronised it would be and it would be very nice if they could find some tourists from the other side of the world when they arrived. Of course she thought it would be nicer still if we could understand some of the commentary, or reply if the reporters asked any questions but after considering that for a moment, she decided that we could cross that bridge when we came to it.
But before that the eight Antipodeans had an appointment with Ria today, our English speaking guide, a volunteer who had picked up the keys to allow her to take us through a few of the prominent buildings; the theatre, the citadel and so on. It was an extraordinary tour (of course), with Ria's enthusiasm for the town obvious.

Sana Sini, the signature restaurant at Pullman Jakarta Thamrin, features four buffets and cooking stations that showcase European and Asian cuisine.
Sana Sini is an award winning international buffet restaurant where cultures and cuisine mingles. Famous for its elaborate buffet presentation, the restaurant has a variety of theatre kitchens to tempt diners into a culinary tour. Diners will find a roast and carving corner as well as popular lively gourmet stations together with European and Asian spreads.
Good and attentive service.Food was the right portion and good taste.
The hospitality was very good the staff like Fitri and others are very attentive and cheerful. Busy busy but happy especially Marie Bathe.
For our party of six, all agreed that it was definitely a very satisfactory Sunday Brunch. The variety of food types were many and varied and were generally well prepared. Deserts were a treat and there were a good selection to choose from. The Staff were friendly and attentive and the service was excellent. Will we return ? yes indeed we will.
There are much more to improve on the food, to me the taste is too strong.
Taste 50% enak 50% ngga enak atau biasa saja. Kualitas makanan lumayan ngga gitu enak enak banget dan masakan kalo bisa di sesuaikan rasanya karena jauh dari ekspetasi hotel bintang 5.
Fantastic experience! We loved the food, warm service and cozy atmosphere.
wonderful setting, variety of choices, excellent and outstanding friendly staff.
Good variety of food. If water is included in the buffet package, that'd make it a very value for money buffet.
nice place and very humble service from waiter. could do better if price included drinks. sashimi side could do with larger size and bit more variety.
This is the first time visit this restaurant for both me and my wife on 18 Dec 2018. We were there to celeberate my 31th birthday. For the design, this restaurant is very good and looked like a fancy buffet hotel restaurant. The food locations divided into many sections, from the western section, japanese section, chinese section, indonesian section, the dessert and gelato section. From the taste it was okay, and we were quiet happy from the qualities of the food, but since that day was so busy and crowded with guests, the queue line is sometimes confusing, you can do better than that. And here is my problem, about the service, i don't know wether the waiter/ the waitress have a bad day or their moods got ruined coz of the restaurant was too full with guests. The waitress was very rude to us, she's asking to take the dirty plate from my table, and i gave her some more empty plate, and i saw she still empty on her hands, but she ignored me, 3 times this waitress ignoed me, even when my wife and i strolling around to collect food, then we came back to our tables, the dirty plates are still there. For your high price, fancy design of the restaurant, so so food quality, but your worst point is how to educate your waiters and waitresses. 2nd thing, i do not know that the restaurant doesnt include free flow drinks, but i saw a jar of water and empty glass on our table, i asked the waiter wether the water is drinkable or not, but the waiter only said, ok hang on a moment sir, then he never came back, look, if its not included, then its ok, u just tell me that drinks are not included for your high price of buffet, but just dont let me and my wife waited too long for you to come back. So So so disappointing!!! even when we need to call the bills, we found difficulties, its so hard to reach the waiters, since they just too busy with their stuffs, idk wether this kind of fancy restaurant able to cope with crowded situation or not, very very poor service indeed.
First time visit sana sini, it was perfect and our anniversary dinner was memorable for her. It was splendid. Thank you sana sini.
Service by some older staff are extremely great!!!
Too bad you didnot state that chope $ is only for buffet! You should have allowed me to use it knowing it is a mistake of yours!!!
Makanannya so yummy.. worth the money.. overall bakalan kembali lagi utk makan..

Year 2019 is one of the more serious and disciplined years, dear Leo. Expect lots of travel and foreign connections.
The month of February and the last quarter of the year will be the most important.
While social opportunities multiple, you still carry a sense of not being where you belong or feeling secluded or stressed out due to restricting environments.
Funds that belong to family may be difficult to access either because of some illness or complications.
2019 is surely a good time, as you enjoy everything – fun, romance and a rich creative spirit. You may be rewarded and recognized for all you have accomplished. You may meet new and exciting people and mingle nicely with them, a pleasant byproduct of success. Financial and emotional success is bound to come through your concentrated efforts. Love and romance may come into your life and the existing relationships are revitalized with warmth, sharing and caring, and plenty of socializing opportunities.
If you are single, meeting someone special is likely in 2019 and you'll truly enjoy the "magical moments". However, this relationship may not last for a very long time. Investments in property, stocks and/or mutual funds and other speculative ventures could yield easy money. Calculated risks are expected to pay off well, but a tendency to make blind moves will have to be curbed.
You find yourself experimenting with new things which are not only beneficial but also provide you with internal happiness and strength. New avenues and opportunities unfurl, excitement runs high, new ideas come to you and you might embark upon an adventure trip to pursue your dreams. Your sibling and buddies appreciate and adore you like never before and you experience divine grace in every act you perform. Money and honey are both sweet in year 2019.
Your work life might have become highly demanding and conflicting with your personal goals. Or it may happen that you may not be able to serve well the people you are responsible to. So there is a possibility of mental stress and health problems. You need to delineate what's more important and to what extent. Keep your cool and you'll get what you deserve. Unnecessary hurry and hard work would lead you to trouble. Things you may have been ignoring previously now come up for inspection. You'll find yourself busy answering questions like how can I live a balanced lifestyle and make better use of my time. You may have to take extra care of your body and health and may pay a few visits to a doctor or a spiritual healer. Be wary of being extravagant, as expenses are likely to cross over your income.
Things from the past may disturb you increasing slothfulness in your life. Use tact rather than stern and forceful approach to bend things in your direction. Tact is the art of convincing people without allowing them to protest. Avoid new deals and investments as they are just another trap to cart off your riches.
The part about my job is spot on. Just wish you advised as to whether I should change it or not.

I was just thinking how long it has been since I talked to you. I had been feeling kind of "lost" recently, but at this moment I feel like I am in a pretty good place I think.
Back in July 2017 when I posted about Patrick and I's road trip, Family, I didn't mention that about a month before we left we bought a new car, that we really couldn't afford without me going back to work.
I hadn't worked like a "Real" job for years. So, the day we bought the car, I went and applied at the local temp agency and figured I'd "put my toe in", and see if I would be "ok" working again since I really wasn't sure that I would be emotionally, or physically for that matter.
Well, they didn't contact me for a job until the day before my birthday! Which in hindsight I feel like it was meant to happen the way it did. I had applied around June 29th, and didn't get offered any jobs until Oct 12th! I had been kind of worried as time went by without a job, but I didn't let it get me spun out of control. I just continued to work on "Me" and getting my sleep fixed (Finally!!!), my weight figured out (Still working on it.). Honestly looking back on it now, I can totally see I wasn't emotionally, or physically ready until Oct 12th.
I have no idea how God the Universe and everything works, but after the time I have had here, I do know that I can trust in some things. Things happen as they are meant to it seems, sadly even the bad things. I also feel that good can come from even the worst things. I do not believe death is the worst thing actually. It's just an end. ANYWAY!…I had faith and I got an offer to start part-time for 1 week on Oct 16th. I figured PERFECT. Part-time, I can work into it.
Well, I have worked there ever since. I worked part-time at first. Thankfully they let me, then at the beginning of the year, I committed to working full time. I've been working for a Social Security Disability Attorney as an office assistant. I most often work with the office manager/paralegal she is older than me by almost 14yrs, but she is AMAZING. I hope I can be as sharp as she is at her age. I also work with a couple awesome ladies that are even older than her and so active and sharp.
Haha, These ladies would probably think I'm seriously silly, but for some reason, I had this total misconception that at 48 I've got like one foot in the grave! I suppose in my defense I had been so depressed that in my mind I had just been "waiting to die". I hope I never feel that way again. Especially when I am actually waiting to die. Those are moments TO LIVE!! ALL OF THEM ARE… (Even the ones I use up playing Love Nikki, Dress up Queen!) Whatever I choose!!
I really like my job. I feel like I'm helping people, and I get to use all the tools I learned in therapy to cope with stress, other people, and different hours then I was used to. I honestly am so thankful that I wasn't offered this opportunity anytime before now. I wouldn't have been able to handle it or enjoyed it as much as I am right now.
The Future…That right there is something I didn't really truly even acknowledge for most all my life so far. Not really, only in the past year and a half, maybe closer to two now, I'm not exactly sure. I'm sure I said it, but not truly believed that I had one. In my mind, EVERYONE else would have one, but I wouldn't. Being told my whole life that "I was so fat and that I would die young" just never left me in a place to even contemplate my future. I was just fat and going to die. I still may die tomorrow and it may be weight related, but I am no longer just living to die. I am living to LIVE, and to figure out what that means to me.
What does it mean to LIVE? Spend my time doing things that help others, to love, to be kind, to find peace, share hope, and to spread light in this world! (NO Patrick, not just the light from my Nikki game while we are in bed and you're trying to sleep.) I look forward to making new connections, not stress about them like I once did. Not to be always looking for approval (Although I still do, especially at work.). I am a work in progress, but I am my work in progress and It doesn't matter what ANYONE ELSE THINKS!! I'm me! Love me or hate me. I don't really care. There is absolutely NOTHING I can do about how you feel. That is your responsibility, not mine. I may have some fault in your feelings and why you are feeling them, but it is up to you to take responsibility to be upset by it, forgive it, talk with me about it to let me know, or BRUSH IT OFF! I may choose to change or not, but I am me and that's all I can be. That isn't me being mean, that is me being human, and just trying to live my life, not trying to cater to everyone else.
As my therapist used to ask me. Who's driving your bus? I AM THE DRIVER NOW!!!
Ok wow! I didn't even really feel like writing, I guess I had something to say after all I better wrap this up. I have stuff I want to do. Still REALLY weird to actually "want". To "plan", to dream about the future. I'm so excited, and if I were to die tomorrow I feel like I finally have lived at least!
Seems to me that the only thing worse than dying is not having ever lived. I am not sure what all brought me to this moment and this clarity, but I am thankful for it ALL. I know I will have bad days, but I finally have the presence of mind to deal with them.
Presence… OH! That's another topic for another day!

Android Trojan App pretended as cleanup app to steal personal information
Android: Fake cleanup app to steal personal information
Android Trojan App pretended as cleanup app to steal personal information.
A new variant of the Super Trojan is now on Google Play! Fake cleanup app to steal personal information.
An information security company ThraFabric recently released a research report pointing out that there are two apps on the Google Play Store that pretend to provide fast cache cleaners for mobile phones, including "Fast Cleaner" and "Pocket Screencaster", which actually open backdoors to steal user data. A new variant of banking malware.
Android users download the app without knowing it. When the mobile phone is invaded and infected by a malicious program, it will secretly perform a series of tasks to steal personal information from the mobile phone server, and use the stealth version of the keylogging tool to track the user's input on the mobile device. All content, including such as: mobile phone PIN code, bank login account password, etc.
ThreaFabric said that the new variant of the malware found in this detection, named "Octo", is very cunning, like an octopus with lethal tentacles, which can not only successfully bypass the review of Google's security protection mechanism , and also has the function of evading the multi-factor authentication mechanism, which is currently the most dangerous and least conspicuous malicious fraud software.
At present, it is found that the malware mainly targets Europe, but does not rule out further expansion to banking and financial institutions around the world.
Disguised as a tool app that provides a fast cache cleaner for mobile phones, "Fast Cleaner" is actually a malicious variant of a banking Trojan. (Photo by ThreaFabric)
The reason why "Octo" is cunning is that, in addition to using legitimate tool apps to lure downloads, so that the mobile phone is invaded and infected after the app is installed, and the device control authority is obtained from the remote end.
The most negligent thing is that it also makes the screen The display is black and the brightness value is zero, pretending that the phone is in a shutdown or locked state when it is not in use, but in fact, it is performing actions such as copying, pasting, etc. in the background, and will disable the notification messages of specific applications.
Although the above two counterfeit genuine apps have been removed from the Google Play Store at present, it is still necessary to beware that they may be disguised as other different apps to bypass the censorship in the future.
It is recommended that the mobile device be kept on the latest version of security updates as much as possible, and a genuine anti-virus tool that can detect malware is installed.


TRENTON, N.J. — High-tech manufacturer Honeywell International is planning to cut some U.S. jobs in its key aerospace division while adding thousands of jobs in low-wage countries, according to documents obtained yesterday by The Associated Press.
The Morris Township, N.J., company said it plans to add jobs in "high-growth regions" but disputed the leaked company documents, which imply a major offshoring move was under way.
Courtney said the worker turned the documents over to the group, a union and professional association tracking and criticizing the trend of shifting high-tech U.S. jobs to other countries where workers earn far less.
"What you clearly see is that within the next quarter they're planning to move 500 to 600 jobs into emerging markets," Courtney said.
Honeywell said its aerospace-division employment in the United States and other Western markets would remain flat. Spokesman Robert Ferris would neither discuss the number of jobs being added overseas, nor identify which areas the company considers high-growth regions.
The internal documents indicate Honeywell plans to cut some jobs in high-cost countries and expand manufacturing and other operations in the Czech Republic, Mexico and China, along with other areas in Asia.
More than 5,500 new jobs would be added in those areas. Most would be Honeywell workers, but more than one-fourth would work for contractors.
"As a global technology leader, we must participate in the worldwide economy and open new markets for our products and services while continuing to recruit and retain a competitive and talented global work force," Ferris said.
Between 2004 and 2009, according to a document titled "Strategies In-Place to Enable 5-Year Plan," the number of Honeywell aerospace workers in emerging markets would increase from 3,239 to 8,803.
The number in high-cost countries, including the United States, would decline by 686 to a total 39,498, according to the document.
"I can't say I'm terribly surprised," Paul Nisbet, aerospace analyst at JSA Research, said yesterday. "I think it's probably a necessary thing if you're going to keep competitive."
Honeywell, with more than 100,000 employees in 95 countries, is the world's largest supplier of avionics, or electronic control systems for airplanes, mainly for the commercial market.
It had 891 employees in Redmond as of November 2003, according to the Redmond Chamber of Commerce.
Earlier this week, Honeywell won a contract from Boeing to supply navigation and anti-collision lighting for the 7E7 jetliner, which is due to enter service in 2008. The deal was the fourth 7E7 contract for Honeywell's Phoenix-based Air Transport Systems unit, which will also supply the jet's flight-control electronics, navigation equipment and crew-management system.
Nisbet said Honeywell competes with Rockwell Collins in this country and with avionics suppliers in Europe for contracts.
"They're trying to find cheaper services," he said of Honeywell.
One of the documents, under the subheading "globalization," lists plans to establish avionics manufacturing capability in Brno, Czech Republic; increase manufacturing of equipment in Mexico; and increase repair and overhaul work in Asia Pacific and Mexico.
The same document indicates plans to do more engineering work in India, Czech Republic and Mexico, outsource selected manufacturing and reduce the number of high-cost staff.
The document indicates the job shifts and resulting cost savings are projected to increase revenue per employee from $231,000 this year to $273,000 in 2009.
"Honeywell hopes to increase its profit at the expense of good-paying jobs with decent benefits here in the U.S.," Courtney said. "As Honeywell exports more jobs overseas, it is hurting job creation here in the U.S., as well as putting pressure on Honeywell employees' wages and benefits."
Seattle Times aerospace reporter David Bowermaster reported on Honeywell's work with Boeing and its local staffing.
America Online (AOL), the nation's biggest Internet service, yesterday began cutting 750 jobs, more than half at the firm's Northern Virginia headquarters, company officials said.
About 5,000 people work in AOL's offices near Dulles International Airport.
AOL workers in Ohio, California and New York also were affected, officials said. Jobs at AOL Europe were not affected.
AOL's corporate parent, Time Warner, announced plans to eliminate jobs at the Internet firm a month ago. Time Warner said then it would take an estimated $50 million charge to account for the restructuring.
The company's online service is losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers every quarter to faster or cheaper competitors. In its third quarter, AOL lost 646,000 subscribers, primarily those who use dial-up Internet connections.

Canal manager 'bitter' about construction delay
Written by Cache Valley Daily
The start of a multi-million dollar Logan North Canal reconstruction project has been delayed now that the federal government has called for a full Environmental Impact Statement rather than an Environmental Assessment, which normally takes much less time to obtain.Cache County has agreed to manage the project for the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the project involves not only the local canal companies but also Logan City, North Logan, Hyde Park and Smithfield. The federal funding is in place but it could be five years before the canal project could be completed. At Tuesday night's Cache County Council meeting, Cache County's Water Manager Bob Fatheringham told the council that because of the threat of a lawsuit the process has been moved from an Environmental Assessment to a full Environmental Impact Statement. Conducting an Environmental Impact Statement takes much longer than conducting an Environmental Assessment.Keith Meikle, President of the Logan Northern Canal Company, said he has been bombarded with calls from farmers and water masters who stand to be badly hurt by the delay."There's no more water (that is) going to be developed in those mountains," Meikle told the council. "The cities have all captured it. They've got efficient structures to grab it. As this valley grows, they're going to have to treat canal water for their culinary water. North Logan is already planning that. "The fact that that hits 2012, I had a meltdown in a meeting when I got that. You can't imagine the amount of pressure that gets put on people like me right now. I'm looking at three more years before the beginning of construction and two years of construction? I'm bitter."The proposed project, which is to be managed by the Cache County Council, came about after three people were killed in a landslide on Logan's Canyon Road last summer.Cache County Executive Lynn Lemon says last summer's canal breach has disabled the water distribution capabilities of the canal, drastically hurting agriculture."Jim Gass is the city administrator for Smithfield City," Lemon explains, "and he talked about how important this is for Smithfield City just as far as them getting water for the city themselves."Some people have the idea that 'well, this is not really effecting anybody but agriculture.' It's affecting agriculture in a major way, and a major part of our agriculture, but it's also hurting the people." Lemon says a Canal Reconstruction Project Public Scoping Meeting has been set for August 11, with presentations being made at 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. at the Bridgerland Applied Technology College. The public is invited to attend and there will be a question and answer period after each presentation. Council members agreed to do everything possible to get the start of the project moved up.

An Outcast In Another (...)
by KamikazePotato
On the first day, he almost died.
On the second day, he almost died.
On the third, he began to notice a worrying trend. And almost died.
Crushing loneliness? Danger around every corner? All of that has become part of his daily routine.
That's fine. He'll carve out a place in this world with his bare hands if necessary. He'll survive, and then he'll thrive.
Whether anyone wants him to or not.
Author's Warning: This story addresses some heavy subjects, and can be dark at times. Fair warning.
Chapters 1-73 have been taken down in preparation for the Kindle Unlimited release, which you can find by clicking here.
I am currently trying to add Book 2, consisting of Chapter 39-73, as a Paperback on Amazon.

CONTENT WARNING - This story explores some dark themes in a bit more depth than may be comfortable for some, so consider yourself warned reader.
This is my first story here on royal-road so any and all feedback is very much appreciated! I hope you enjoy reading TDIM and I look forward to seeing your comments and feedback in the future!

A Friendly Voidling
by cathfach
When a Creature of the Void fails to find friendship among her own kind, she instead sets her sights upon another, human-filled world. Unfortunately, humans turn out to be rather small and squishy things, resulting in a mostly accidental trail of death, destruction and madness as she embarks on her journey to finally make some friends.
This is a 25k word inane short story, and makes no attempt at being serious or realistic. It's my first attempt at trying a more comedic writing style. No relation to my other stories, aside from a brief cameo.
Cover bodged together with Charat Genesis. Not quite the design I had in mind, but reasonably close. Doesn't contain explicit smut, but does contain references to stuff happening off-screen. May contain traces of gore. Also eels, in varying states of distress.

An Unbound Soul
1.2k pages
When Peter suffers a too-close encounter with a truck, he finds himself reborn in another world. At first glance it is a perfect fantasy land. There's magic to play with, elves singing in the forest and a hyperactive catgirl neighbour. There's even a System that lets him earn skills and level up. But it isn't long before he notices that the world is far too perfect. Just why is everyone so nice? Can Peter accept the alien morality of this world's self-proclaimed protector, or will he seek to overthrow her?
Set after the events of A Lonely Dungeon, a few hundred years after the rebirth of civilization, this is a story about an earthling falling into Erryn's new world and the subsequent struggles of himself and Erryn to understand each other. It's a slow paced slice of life, and while there are pieces of action, don't expect any immediate grand conflict between Erryn and Peter.
Published here, scribblehub and amazon. Two new chapters a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

RE: Monarch
by Eligos
Cairn is a prince who is already tired of ruling. Faced with an imminent coronation and an overbearing father, he wants nothing more than to drown his responsibilities in cheap liquor and poor decisions. With the help of his sister, he hatches a plan to escape the clutches of the throne once and for all. It all goes terribly wrong, and Cairn finds his priorities shifting in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The change of heart comes too late, however, and Cairn dies. He reawakens to find himself transported ten years in the past. He immediately begins to plan for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him. To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I exhausted pretty much every time loop story ever written and decided to write my own. You'll see a few similarities here between this story and some existing stories, at least initially. There's a lot of inspiration drawn from both MoL and Re:Zero, though in terms of pathos and darkness, this story leans more towards the latter. Be warned, it is something of a slow burn. The main character will grow and become powerful, but a theme of this story is that power comes slowly and often at great cost.
Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Cover commissioned from the fantabulous SatoriLotus on Deviant Art
A Lonely Dungeon
When a new dungeon is born, it wants nothing more than to have the most vicious monsters, the most cunning traps and the most shiny of loot. There is only one problem, but it's a rather big one; it finished its first floor years ago, but it still hasn't been visited by any adventurers! In order to find someone or something to explore its floors, or perhaps just to find someone to talk to, this dungeon will have to go way off script. But it soon discovers that going off script brings problems of its own, and that adventurers are not the only thing this world is missing.
A shortish story about a dungeon's journey of exploration and self-discovery in a devastated world. Cover made (poorly) with POV-Ray.

Tower of Somnus
by Cocop (Cale Plamann)
When humanity first encountered alien life, we were judged and found wanting.
The Galactic Consensus interviewed our leaders and subjected us to a battery of psychological tests to determine our progress as a society. They found us to be selfish, wasteful, impulsive, and boorish neighbors. Earth was blockaded and our collective encounter with our extrasolar neighbors rapidly faded from memory.
All they left behind was a hypercomm relay and a handful of subscriptions to a massively multiplayer game that participants played in their sleep. The Consensus said that it would let us interact with our neighbors in a controlled setting. That it would teach us to be better members of the galactic community.
The megacorporations that controlled Earth ignored the game until they learned that the powers earned from clearing dungeons were just as real when day broke. Magic, supernatural abilities and rumors exploded from nothing and a subscription to The Tower of Somnus became a status symbol.
Katherine 'Kat' Debs doesn't have much, but it could be worse. Born in an arcology, she was assigned a job in the megacorporation that raised her almost as soon as she could work. Despite the stability of her corporate life, she wanted something more. A chance to claw her way up the rigid social and financial ladder to make something of herself.
A chance that wouldn't come naturally to someone as familiar with dark alleyways and the glint of steel as she was with office work and corporate niceties.

The Perfect Run
by Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)
The Perfect Run is now available on Amazon and Audible: Volume 1 (Audiobook), Volume 2 (Audiobook), Volume 3
Ryan "Quicksave" Romano is an eccentric adventurer with a strange power: he can create a save-point in time and redo his life whenever he dies. Arriving in New Rome, the glitzy capital of sin of a rebuilding Europe, he finds the city torn between mega-corporations, sponsored heroes, superpowered criminals, and true monsters. It's a time of chaos, where potions can grant the power to rule the world and dangers lurk everywhere.
Ryan only sees different routes; and from Hero to Villain, he has to try them all. Only then will he achieve his perfect ending... no matter how many loops it takes.
The Perfect Run updates on Tuesday and Saturday. Cover by Vitaly S. Alexius.
Beneath the Dragoneye (...)

3k pages
Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand System governing classes, skills, and magic.
An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel?
Adventures? Right this way!
A Grand quest? Nah.
Friends and loot? Heck yes!
Humans are the top dog? Nope, dinosaur food.
Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her.
Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move.
Hey! Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is my first writing effort, so please be kind, but don't hesitate to point out the flaws.
The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but it gets there!
I'm going to be posting M-W-F
I do know how the story ends, and I promise if it ever gets dropped, or I stop doing this, I will post the ending. There will be no random "this is the last chapter" out of the blue.
The Primal Hunter
by Zogarth
On just another normal Monday, the world changed. The universe had reached a threshold humanity didn't even know existed, and it was time to finally be integrated into the vast multiverse. A world where power is the only thing that one can truly rely on.
Jake, a seemingly average office worker, finds himself thrust into this new world. Into a tutorial filled with dangers and opportunities. In a world that should breed fear and concern, an environment that makes his fellow coworkers falter, Jake instead finds himself thriving.
Perhaps… Jake was born for this kind of world, to begin with.
5 chapters a week.
Average chapter length: 2500

The Many Lives of Cadence (...)
by vladerag
Cadence Lee thought she was a normal girl, perhaps a little well to do, but not exceptionally so. She had her college classes, she had her job that her uncle gave her, and she had a nice boyfriend who was sweet if a little awkward.
Except, when a mugger accosts Cadence and her boyfriend attempts to wrestle a gun away from the criminal, Cadence ends up shot. A normal girl, with the kind of wound Cadence had, would die. Cadence managed to do that part. But a normal girl wouldn't then open her eyes again and learn that death is not as permanant for her as it is for other people. She can be reborn again, and again. Each time stronger and with new abilities.
The catch? Any world she is born into, she can never return to. She has infinite lives, but only one life for each.
So begins The Many Lives of Cadence Lee.

Q: In Rails with Webpacker app, compiled styles appear to load ok (200), but aren't applied Upgrading an existing React project from Rails 4 to 5.1 and loading assets with the new Webpacker pack_tag system. Things seem to compile correctly, I've got a pack file packs/mutts.jsx and in my index.html.erb I reference with
<%= javascript_pack_tag 'mutts' %>
 <%= stylesheet_pack_tag 'mutts' %>
When the server runs, this results in 4 files compiled to app/public/packs/: a .js, .js.map, .css and .css.map - all with [packname]-[hash].extension format.
When I inspect the html generated from the pack_tags, I can see they each link to the corresponding js and css files, with the correct hash in the filename. And looking at the Network tab in devtools, both files load successfully with 200.
But when I look at the Sources tab, I see at localhost:3000 there is a packs/ directory that only contains the js file, and the css is nowhere in sight, and styles are definitely not being applied to the page.
Am I getting the file structure or importing wrong or something? Doesn't seem to be a webpack config issue, as the contents of the compiled file look correct.

A: The problem was where I placed the stylesheet_pack_tag. After placing it in the <head> it worked.
Should have caught this - most of the demos for Webpacker have the tag placed right with the relevant javascript_pack_tag, but in my case I'm rendering a new JS root per page, so the js pack is rendered by a rails view that's not the root application.html.erb
I've seen some webpacker examples that seemed to be going for "keep assets in proximity of concerned code", but I'm happy just chucking global styles in the head here.
