Congo Civil War
Les mongoles
Les mongoles [The Mongols] was a Mai Mai militia group active in the Kivus region of Congo [Zaire] and opposed to the Rassemblement Congolais pour la Democratie (RCD). It mostly committed acts of banditry, and is poorly attested. In 2009 the only North Kivu Mai-Mai group to have put forward significant numbers of fighters for integration (600-800) was the Hutu-dominated Mongol group. In part, this was because the other groups are small. However, they are also non-Rwandophone in composition and are likely to be anxiously withholding fighters and weapons.
Elements from seven of the Mai-Mai groups in North and South Kivu agreed in May 2009 to form a party known as the "Alliance of Popular and Patriotic Forces of Congo" (in French, "Alliance des Forces Populaires et Patriotiques du Congo"--AFPC). This second Mai-Mai grouping brought together elements from seven Mai-Mai groups across the two Kivus. Certain Mai-Mai groups have elements represented in both parties. The seven groups were as follows: PARECO/South Kivu, Mai-Mai Vurondo, Kasindien, Shabunda, Simba (North Kivu), Simba (South Kivu), and Mongol.

SWC 34: Giving Men Winning Cycles
Click Here for Video Highlights.
Cindy: Hey, everybody, it's Saturday and I have somebody special here. I think he's probably just gonna laugh the whole time because he's not used to being in front of the camera, but this is my fiancé and he is so sweet. We had a big day and he knows that sometimes I get really tired, but I still wanna come and visit you on Saturdays and sometimes doing it every week is hard. And so he said that he wanted to do a Saturday With Cindy and I was thinking, what's he gonna talk about? So what did you wanna talk about?
Bruce: Cindy.
Cindy: He lies.
Bruce: All the stuff that you don't know that you wanna know about her.
Cindy: What? No. He said he was gonna talk about having a guy win, talking about...well, he has to say it. What were you gonna say?
Bruce: Well, I wanted to tell you how she gives me wins in life, in love, in our relationship. So it's important for guys to win because they're like dogs. They just like to be petted. They like to be rewarded. And if you give them a win, they're gonna perform again and again and again to get the win and Cindy is an expert at this. And it may sound like a strange concept but if you think about it, that's how you train a dog and we're not that far from dogs, actually.
Cindy: Is that the cutest thing you ever heard or ever saw? And I wish that I did that all the time. I'm really bad at it, I think. I'm so happy you said that. Guys, you're like dogs. Sometimes you're pigs, too, but they're the cutest, sweetest things, too. Listen to him. Go.
Bruce: Can't live without us, can't live with us, but most women choose to live with us.
Cindy: And is this just a husband or a boyfriend or could this be a buddy or a friend or a brother or a father?
Bruce: This could be anything. Any man, any relationship with a man. If you want them to respond, you have to give 'em wins. You have to let 'em win and what winning looks like, just thanking 'em for anything that they might've done, any little cycle that they finished, that they completed, give 'em a reward. Just like you would if a dog went outside and did his business outside, you'd say, "Good boy. Good girl." Well, same thing. Not quite that simple but basically the same.
Cindy: All right. So let's try it. You were so amazing today. You came with me, you sat through a presentation that you've heard a thousand times and you totally supported me. That was really, really awesome.
Bruce: Thank you, baby.
"Tell them how they're winning and then ask for what you want in such a way that they think there's an opportunity to win again."
Cindy: Would you do that again?
Bruce: Absolutely.
Cindy: Thank you. All right, now I'm gonna do another one. Everything you did was really awesome. Would you consider making sure I have enough food and water when I do that, next time?
Bruce: I will. I'm gonna make sure that you have enough food and water, because when Cindy gets...
Cindy: You are a sweetie, thank you.
Bruce: Yes, thank you. Because when Cindy gets going, she doesn't always think and remember to eat and drink and then she gets dehydrated and she kinda winds down because she doesn't eat. So it's something I have to do to help her avoid that.
Cindy: And what I did is I gave him a win and then I offered another way for him to win because guys wanna win. So I said, "That was so great the way you supported me today and you were there and all that." So he's feeling good about it. And then I said, "Would you also make sure I have food and water?" He's like, "Well, she liked the way I did that. She wants that. Yeah, it's another opportunity to win."
Bruce: So that's the concept of guys winning. So we're just waiting for the wins so we can produce more wins and we can produce more wins, and men love to produce for their women and all they need is a little motivation.
Cindy: Yeah. And to take that thought even further, guys like to win in all situations, not just with women and their women because some guys don't have a woman. They like to win games, goals. They like to set goals that they know they're gonna win, and it might just be throwing cards and do a hat from across the room. It might be throwing a basketball into a basket. It might be swimming laps, whatever they're good at, they go for that because they know they're gonna win at it. And it's not guaranteed that they're gonna win with a woman. A lot of guys avoid situations with women because of that. So we can make it a much more pleasurable experience for them and have them come back again and again for another win if we're just nice to them. We're so mad at them all the time it's hard to be nice.
So that goes into a deeper subject, but the simplicity of it is they just wanna win. So tell them how they're winning and then ask for what you want in such a way that they think there's an opportunity to win again.
Bruce: And watch and see what happens.
Cindy: Give it a try, report back. We wanna know everything.
Bruce: Bye.
Cindy: That was really fun. I'm so glad you did that. Would you do another one?
Bruce: Of course.
Cindy: Yay!

Q: USACO Calf Flac Palindrone Times Out This is the problem statement:
Ignore punctuation, whitespace, numbers, and case when testing for palindromes, but keep these extra characters around so that you can print them out as the answer; just consider the letters A-Z' anda-z'.
Find the largest palindrome in a string no more than 20,000 characters long. The largest palindrome is guaranteed to be at most 2,000 characters long before whitespace and punctuation are removed.
The first line of the output should be the length of the longest palindrome found. The next line or lines should be the actual text of the palindrome (without any surrounding white space or punctuation but with all other characters) printed on a line (or more than one line if newlines are included in the palindromic text). If there are multiple palindromes of longest length, output the one that appears first.
I'm trying to iterate through the String with only letters, and testing that i (odd length) or i and i - 1 (even length) is the middle of a palidrone. My code works, but it's too slow, and times out on test case 8 of 10. Currently, the test takes 1.9 seconds, and the max limit is 1 second.
My code

I think I can make it faster by somehow doing the even palindrome and odd palindrome at the same time, but I'm not sure how. I'm also thinking that it might be possible to not have to test the inside of the palindrome if it's shorter then the longest palindrome I've found so far. Could someone give me a hint on to how optimize or make my code faster?

A: I think you are over complicating the problem, I'll try to help but my java is a little rusty, so i'll write the code in a very lose form, i'll explain my solution in an edit.
int maxPalindrom(String x){
    int max = 0;
    int current;
    for(int i=0; i<x.length - 1; i++){
        current = 1;
        for(int j = 1; j < min(x.length - i, i); j ++){
            if(x[i-j] == x[i+j])
                current += 2;
            else
                break;
        }
        if (current > max) current = max;
        current = 0;
        for(int j = 0; j < min(x.length - i, i); j ++){
            if(x[i - j] == x[i + 1 - j])
                current += 2;
            else
                break;
        }
        if (current > max) current = max;
    }
    return max;
}

update
a palindrome could be either in the form of aaxaa or axxa so i iterate on the string to and i move i so it would be at the x on the first inner loop and on the first x in the second inner loop,
I update current until i find a case that will break the palindrome.
I update max if current has a higher value.
you can further optimise this code by considering the max value in the outer loop
I hope this was helpful, if you have further questions don't hesitate to ask.

It seems like we're going to get plenty more of Jack Sparrow's antics.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which stars Johnny Depp alongside Javier Bardem, will hit theaters on May 26 this year.
And while we've already seen quite a few trailers for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, this one has something special. What is it, you ask? It's more shots of that scene where Jack Sparrow is missing his pants! This time we get a little bit of Jack Sparrow's signature sass, when asked where said pants might be.
"A great pirate does not require such intricacies," he replies.
Such a Jack Sparrow thing to say.
We also get another glimpse at a young guyliner-ed Captain Sparrow, developed with CGI. And honestly, we weren't even sure that it was Jack for a second.
Finally, in case you need a refresher, this particular PoTC movie has something the others don't: Ghost armies. If you ask us, it seems like Dead Men Tell No Tales is channeling some serious Game of Thrones vibes with all those zombies that vaguely resemble White Walkers.
Get ready for this swashbuckler of an action film to debut on Memorial Day weekend. We're sure it's going to be highly entertaining.

Q: where field = CURDATE() Такой запрос
SELECT
    *
FROM
    integration_betapost.`tests_st`
WHERE
    add_date = CURDATE()

Который выводит всего две строки, где add_date равно 2017-06-02 00:00:00,хотя в таблице есть много значений типа 2017-06-02 14:02:07
Вопрос,почему они не попадают в выборку?

A: Записи не попадают в выборку потому, что оператор = в MySQL требует строгого равенства аргументов, а 2017-06-02 00:00:00 не равно 2017-06-02 14:02:07. Вы можете искать например все даты-время, которые больше начала текущего дня так:
SELECT * FROM integration_betapost.`tests_st`
 WHERE add_date >= CURDATE()

Или например взять записи от начала текущего дня до текущего времени в текущем дне:
SELECT * FROM integration_betapost.`tests_st`
 WHERE add_date between CURDATE() and NOW()

Или, например взять строго записи за текущие сутки:
SELECT * FROM integration_betapost.`tests_st`
 WHERE add_date >= CURDATE() and add_date < CURDATE()+INTERVAL 1 DAY

Можно конечно явно привести колонку к дате, без времени (date(add_date)=...), но так делать не рекомендуется, так как в этом случае СУБД не сможет использовать индексы, даже если они есть. Что приведет к полному сканированию таблицы с соответствующей потерей производительности

A: Вам нужно поле add_date привести к такому же формату YYYY-MM-DD, можно вот так:
SELECT
    *
FROM
    integration_betapost.`tests_st`
WHERE
    DATE(add_date) = CURDATE()

Do You Know Why Your Donors Gave Their First Gift?
The other day I received a solicitation in the mail from an organization I made a donation to a few years back. I have yet to make a second donation. Let me tell you the story.
A few years ago, when I was finishing my MBA, one of my professors told the class that if we donated at least $25 to a local legal aid society we would get a bump in our grade. So of course, I like the rest of the class, made this donation.
I got my usual form letter thank you. And then the solicitations started. Every few months I'd receive an ask for money. First through email and mail (until I unsubscribed from the emails) and then just mail.
I've never done another thing with this organization except that donation. And quite frankly I probably won't. Things might have been different if they changed the way they followed up after my donation.
When they get the first donation, I would have hoped they would have googled my name. That would have quickly brought up my LinkedIn profile, and my connections to a local MBA program and to Bloomerang (we are fundraising experts after all). My connection to the MBA program might have suggested larger capacity than $25 in the future. My position at Bloomerang might have clued them into the fact I could be a good potential addition to their board or advisory circle based on my fundraising knowledge.
A quick call would have told them the story about the class, and why of the many local legal aid charities I chose that one.
As first-time donor retention rates are hovering in the low 20's nationally, I'd expect they'd want to know why they received a donation out of the blue. Having a first-time donor survey ready to go would have helped them understand my "why" for donating.
Knowing my "why" would mean they should know I need more education about the impact they're making in the community before I'd be ready to give again. The next time they had a donor tour, I should be invited to see their space and meet their team. Reaching out through a handwritten note or voicemail would have been appropriate.
What are you doing to combat the low retention rates for first-time donors?


Embellisher from Bangalore is one girl whose work I've been following for a while now. I'm not really into embroidery or fabrics, so what is her work doing here. Its just that she has SO MUCH FUN with her threads. She loves what she does and it shows and how. Its critical for an artist to experiment and PLAY and there's so much of that here. the lady is also a blogger and you can read her here.
Embellisher is participates in 'Take a Stitch Tuesday' on the Stitchin Fingers site. All embroidery enthusiasts please head that way. Its an entire stitchin world out there!
Embellisher is a Textile Designer who embroiders one of a kind scarves and stoles. A show of her an apparel designer is coming up towards the end of this year. But what completely steals my heart are these SHOW STOPPERS. Do click on them to see a larger version- they are totally worth it.
This is the environmental page. Don't you love that tree? And embroidered typo makes my heart skip a beat.
These are her darling creative scribbles. KICKASS is what this is called.
Daram is completely into handloom and now they also want to market the concept of food and clothing as one of the primary needs of the human being.
So what do Shruti & Shaila do as a to bring in the organic food element into the design of the store? They create this beautiful bird panel made with real grains demonstration graphically the very important role birds play in the farming. And guess what they dipped into for inspiration? They referred to the very famous 'Ek anek aur ekta' animation film which all of saw when we were kids :) :) You have to check it out here for nostalgias sake! Its a sad old print but what the heck :) This is how it looks from outside the store.
The other beautiful thing they have created is a panel for the residence of Raghavendra Rao, the famous Telgu film director.
It all began with this simple sketch.
And look at this stunning piece of delicate work. The cut work for this 9ftx9ft screen was manually done in the size of a rice grain.
Shruti, who has been following the comments closely has actually sent a close up of the intricate work. Brilliant isn't it?
This post is a live example of my ample procrastinating abilities. Shruti & Shaila of Eucalyptus wrote to me way back in April about an exhibition at their store & that's when I checked out their site & was like- WOW, these guys really know their work- I have to feature them. And guys today the day has finally arrived!!! Ok, now that I have advertised some shameful inside stories, we can get on with Eucalyptus and how cool they really are.
"So how does a Champa tree that you pass by without a second glance or a simple Peepal leaf so commonly found in every other street corner become an intimate part of your life? Eucalyptus bridges the gap and brings in the outdoors into your day-to-day lives."
I'd love to go to Hyderabad one day & soak in this airy ambience. "The browsing experience at Eucalyptus is real time. You know how exactly that cushion would look on your couch. On display are real world bedrooms, dining area, walls etc all outfitted with Eucalyptus products."
They have these amazing Indian design themed collections like: Sheesham, Champa, Pipal, Chaupad and Jharokha to name a few.
"The Jharokha design collection: The prominent arches (windows) of Hyderabad comfortably adapt themselves onto textiles as runners for tables. The colours are catchy, tracking back their genesis to the saffron of Biryani and turmeric in the curries. The arch window narrates tales of abandoned monuments, now housing stray birds and cats. Just right for Heritage hotels and ethnic Indian homes!"
"The Chaupad inspired collection: The ancient dice game of India has inspired the rich blue Mangalgiri runner embroidered with kantha. Interestingly, one can actually play on it with cowries and wooden gotis. Ideal for a clubhouses or guestrooms where you are meant to play and unwind!"
And this is just a peek into the amazing design and decor world of Euclyptus. Their site is a pleasure to navigate. The people behind this amazing show is entrepreneur Asha Reddy & the designer duo Shruti and Shaila. And like how all it needs for a match is to strike the right surface, the three came together to ignite this warm magic that is Eucalyptus. How I wish these guys were in Bombay.
This is the invite I found on their blog.
"INDIA STAMP. Rock Ashoka's Lions with pride. HINDUSTAN!"
"Buri Nazar Wale Tera Mooh Kala" loosely translates to "if you dare cast an evil eye, your face will go black" and uses the coolest truck graphics style.
Hey, I'm back :) It feels like some 3000 yrs since I've posted. But here I am. I had no intention of posting today and this is unlike how I normally work, I'm in the middle of researching for a project that I'm working on & what do I stumble on? LOTUS by League of artisans whose goal is to use the League of Artisans platform to create sustainable livelihoods for underprivileged Indian artisans – particularly rural and women artisans – and thereby, improve their economic and living conditions. They do do this by providing business support to the artisan groups. And the result is a scrumptious array of the most tastefully done decor elements that are totally Indian in design and spirit.

"Tear Ducks is a smooth and sophisticated indie/soft rock band that makes brilliantly atmospheric music meant for modern ears. It's a languid, enveloping sound built on strong songwriting and is getting its share of traction among indie rock fans."
After a series of graduations, breakups, and job moves, former bandmates of several projects return to their suburban Nashville hometown after an 8 year hiatus of playing together. Having a mutual need for expression and excitement outside of the mundane, 3 of the members Christian (Vocals/Keys), Connor(Guitar/Vocals), and Brandon (Bass) decided to form a band that would later become Tear Ducks. After little success and various life events, the former project disbanded and 6 months later rebranded as Tear Ducks upon the release of their self-titled 2018 Debut EP. The band would soon add Zac(Guitar) who was also a former bandmate of Connor 10 years prior.

Challenges for the Grid
Intermittency
Projected Storage Needs
David Blackman interviews Mark Simon for Utility Week
by Jamie Vernon | Jan 17, 2020 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
The government should create a new flexibility mechanism to help the grid to deal with rapid fluctuations in demand, a battery owner and operator has said.
Mark Simon, chief executive of Eelpower, told Utility Week that a flexibility market is required in order to help keep supply in balance while cutting emissions in line with net zero by 2050.
He said the existing capacity market had been "very effective" but was not sufficiently tailored to the specific needs of the storage sector.
Simon said, referring to figures produced last year by Imperial College London in a report for generator Drax, that the UK needs to develop 30GW of electricity storage capacity in order to underpin the increasing reliance of its energy system on variable renewable generation.
Noting that the fluctuation in daily demand for electricity on low wind speed days during the winter could be as great as 120GWh, he said: "No-one is going to build that, they would be mad to, but we need a quarter of that."
The new mechanism could operate as a more tailored version of the capacity market, providing "policy support" for assets that could respond swiftly and ramp up supply when required, Simon said.
"The specific policy ask for the department for business, energy and industrial strategy department (BEIS) is a market that recognises the need for flexibility and construct something that you might call a flexibility mechanism to reward flexible assets to do what they do rather than shoehorn batteries into the capacity market."
He said that unless storage capacity is significantly enhanced, the UK will increasingly end up "grotesque" situations, like that of 10 March last year, when on a "very windy" day, Scottish wind farms were paid £3.1 million to switch off, while gas peaking plants in the south of England were awarded £4.1 million to turn up generation.
Recent figures show a rapid dwindling in the amount of battery storage submitted to the latest capacity market auction.
Simon told Utility Week that Eelpower is planning to roll out 1GW of batteries across the UK, which would be located on the distribution network.
The company currently owns and operates 30MW of storage and is building another 10MW. It is also raising funds to triple its capacity to 150MW.
Simon said that the company is currently continuing to use lithium ion batteries, rather than less conventional flow technology, because the latter could not be relied on "99.7 per cent" of the time.
He also denied that getting planning permission is an obstacle to the roll out of electricity storage, pointing out that 50MW of batteries can be accommodated on a three-acre site and they are typically located in brownfield locations close to where demand is most intense.

WE THINK CHARITY MATTERS
Whilst the economic climate continues to struggle in the UK and despite the ongoing approach of BREXIT, our population remains consistent as a nation of givers. With incredible generosity to charity through national fundraising campaigns such as Comic Relief, Children in Need, Sport Relief and Soccer Aid, we can be proud as a nation for the support and kindness we provide each year.
National fundraising campaigns are an important and fantastic way of raising funds and awareness; however, it is also more important than ever to consider supporting charity directly.
DO YOU THINK CHARITY MATTERS?
A reduction in property value, a fall in investment yield and the threat of a rise in unemployment figures can all have an adverse impact on a charities income. If you think Charity Matters you can help your favourite charity so the negative social and economic factors are expunged.
You may wish to provide a one-off donation, choose to give a regular gift to charity or, after you have remembered those closest to you, decide to leave a gift to charity in your Will.
Many people already generously support charity, yet others would like to give but don't know where to search for a charity or how to choose a charity to support. We have compiled a comprehensive list of UK registered charities so that you can find an organisation that supports and benefits the causes that you recognise, care about and respect the most - because Charity Matters.
There are so many charities that need your help and support to continue their vital work. From hospice care for children and adults and organisations assisting people with physical impairments or mental health issues, through practical support or to improve wellbeing. National and international animal welfare charities, environmental issues - to our treasured heritage, arts and the vital support for the homeless or those requiring rehabilitation.
In addition to the diverse range of charities which need our compassion and kindness through regular donations and the gift of time, the organisations striving to help communities in peril also need dedicated support at the time of tragedy. Extreme situations and natural disasters which lead to the destruction of our environment, homes and our people.
It's easy to watch from the comfort of our own homes in awe and disbelief as media coverage shows us events as they unfold: tornadoes, hurricanes, unprecedented flooding; tsunami, earthquakes. Despite our advances in technology and engineering, we are often left powerless when it comes to the stability of our natural world. Yet we continue to witness a rise in sea levels, the extinction of wildlife and an ocean of plastic suffocating the planet, through the destructive hand of man.
It seems impossible to think we could live in a world of peace and stability. However, whilst international disasters occur all too frequently, the aid and care we provide really can make a positive difference as people strive to rebuild their lives through the generosity of your kindness and support.
Please note that the Charity Matters website is currently being updated and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
Our website will be back online in full by 30th December 2019.

There were 17 students in the Thai cuisine course, including two male students, mixed with experienced housewives and people who had just started to learn the mysteries of the art of cooking. The menu consisted of a noodles dish, Thai omelet, and tuna spicy salad.
The crew of the & Rice brought Japanese white rice to the classroom to try with the three Thai dishes. Surprisingly, the combination was better than expected, even though the food, specially the tuna salad, was quite hot and spicy.
However, the best rice to be served with Thai food might be Thai rice. In a way, that should be expected, since Thai food evolved with the premise of the subtle taste and texture of Thai rice, and not the sweeter Japanese rice. The interesting thing to notice is the great differences in both food cultures, even though rice plays a major role in Japanese and Thai cuisines, being almost equally important but at the same time very different when compared side by side. Not superior nor inferior, just different. In fact, that awareness only becomes possible when having the opportunity to come into contact with other cultures.
Food connects people, and enables us to see beyond the borders. The encounters that food makes possible enrich our lives immensely. The ASEAN Culture Course has a bright prospect.
The next Thai Cuisine course will be held at the Westy (Sakai City West Cultural Center), on May 30 (Friday) from 11 AM to 2 PM. The course will be taught by Ms. Tassanee Muraki (Tassanee Thai Cultural Center). Applications will be accepted from May 1st to 15th (Fee: 1,500 yen). There will be a draw if there are more than 18 applicants. In August, a Indonesian Cuisine course is planned to be held.

Rather than planting the seeds and waiting for rain, soak the seeds in a damp rag for a day or so. Sometimes I will take a cookie sheet, lay down a paper towel, place the seeds on the towel, soak it with water, then lay another paper towel on top of the seeds.
The problem with soaking, evaporation causes the towels to cool. Also, chances are the cookie sheet will be kept in the house, which has air conditioning. Between the evaporation of the water and the AC, the seeds may not reach optimal germination temperatures. To get around this, I placed a paper towel in a bowel, put seeds on top of the towel, then drenched with water. The next day the bowl was set in direct sunlight. To help regulate the seed temperature, a black saucer was placed on top of the bowl. The bowl was white.
What does the black saucer and white bowl have to do with anything? Black absorbs heat, and white reflects heat. I was hoping to create a Dutch oven affect with the black saucer getting hot, but the white bowl not getting too hot.
Things worked out well because the okra seeds germinated in less than 24 hours. This means the seeds had the right amount of moisture and the right heat for them to wake up and germinate.
While we are talking about okra seeds, let's spend a few minutes and talk about how the seeds were stored. My seed stockpile is kept in a plastic tub, which is kept in a deep freezer. Some of the seeds packets are in plastic bags, while other seeds are stored in paper bags.
The okra seeds germinated for this project had been stored in the deep freezer for somewhere around 8 years, and have been kept at a temperature of -12 F.
Most of my bulk seeds, such as okra, peas, beans, corn… etc, are bought from Circle Three Feed in Jasper Texas. Years ago I use to buy seeds from Pickles in Jasper; but Pickles was sold and I do not know what they are selling in the store now.
Now that I used some of my okra seeds, they need to be replaced.
I prefer spineless. The difference between the two is a ridge which runs down the okra pod. Spineless is a smooth okra pod. Spined is just that, it has spines (raised edges) running the length of the pod.
In the late 1980s my father-in-law and I planted some longhorn okra. We picked it every 2 – 3 days, and got close to a 5 gallon bucket with every picking.
Okra needs a balanced fertilizer, such as 13-13-13. If a high nitrogen fertilizer is used, such as 21-0-0, the plants may grow tall and may not produce.
While it may be tempting to buy okra sprouts, the plants grow best when sewn directly from seed.
We are going to get more in depth on this topic when I plant the germinating seeds.
Okra is one of the well rounded crops prepsteaders should stockpile seeds for. However, it does best in hot weather.

Goodbye, 2013! Hello, 2014!
To say that 2013 has been an interesting year is an understatement. I've had some amazing things happen this year- the centennial celebration of my beloved sorority and the 10 year anniversary of my initiation into my sorority, I met my Godson for the first time during Easter weekend and his Christening, vacation and time well spent with family, my crowning as Ms. District of Columbia Exquisite and being 1st Runner-Up in the Exquisite International Pageant, becoming an official journalist, and most importantly, having my health, a job, and a roof over my head. I have also been witness to the awesome things that have happened in the lives of my family and friends-entering graduate programs, weddings, births, and engagements (seriously, like at least 10 people that I know have gotten engaged within the last 2 weeks). God has truly blessed those around me. There have also been some things that I would like to forget, so I won't mention them. 🙂
As you know, I don't do resolutions; I do goals for the new year. Five years ago next month (well, really tomorrow) I set a goal for myself to move to Washington, DC by the end of the year. By the end of the following month, Southern Mom and I were driving to Washington, DC so I could start my new job. I have done a lot of growing and searching during my time in our nation's capital-probably more than I could have done in Florida, or anywhere else for that matter. The time has come for me to make some tough decisions regarding the next steps I want to take with my life. And because I'm trying to work on my procrastination, I have already started. I am so excited to see what 2014 has in store for me. And for some fantastical things happen for me and those around me.
In short, I wish you all an amazing new year. If you go out tonight, be safe! And remember that God has some wonderful things in store for you. Until next time (and year), I'm just a Southern girl…in the city!

"Scandal" Re-Cap: YOLO
So, it has been a good little minute since I've written about "Scandal". The episode from 2 weeks ago was great. Last night's episode had a lot of nail-biting, bug-eyed, pass out moments.
First, can we just acknowledge the fact that I was right and called it WEEKS ago that Maya Lewis aka Marie Wallace is a terrorist?!?! I almost lightweight believed Eli/Rowan/Byron Douglas when he told Charlie he doesn't enjoy killing people. Because he could have EASILY let Maya stay on that plane and get blown up…because I think there was a bomb on that plane, and Maya put it there. But I am also slightly annoyed and find it highly unbelievable that after ALL this thinking back Olivia did that she remembered in the 11th hour that someone called the house asking for her mother by a different name… That's whack.
Also, some people keep talking about how Liv was sitting like a bump on a log for a few minutes during the beginning of the episode. Well how would you feel if your mother, a woman that you believed died in a plane crash over 20 years ago, just magically showed up at your home talking about, "Hey, Livvie!" Say what now??? So I can expect her to be a little shell shocked.
And I knew Huck was going to torture Quinn. I was kinda anxious to see exactly what he was going to do, because I knew that he wasn't going to kill her. But to extract a tooth, leave for a little bit, and come back and do it AGAIN!!! That's just cruel. But well deserved, because she should have never gotten caught up with the likes of Charlie. And their love scene??? YUCK!!! But she is not going to kill Eli/Rowan/Byron Douglas. Liv needs him to get her momma back and to find out exactly why she's been locked up for 22 years…besides the fact she's someone that can eat her own flesh, kill a doctor, and escape from a maximum security prison.
I am REALLY surprised about James. I thought he was smarter than that. He figured out that Cyrus set him up; so why didn't he also figure out that Cyrus had a way to get proof of Daniel-Douglas' double life??? And to answer your question (and James') on why Cyrus didn't hire someone? Too risky. He knew from Mellie's cocktail party that DD had an attraction to James. Or they were at least connecting. Even though I would NEVER condone setting your spouse up to cheat on you, James knows the type of man he married.
But the BIGGEST shocker of the night was Sally calling Cyrus saying, "I have committed a sin." Ma'am, is this the same man you just read and told him that he and his husband would spend the rest of their lives in purgatory because of their relationship??? And he is the FIRST person you think to call??? I can't wait to see the flashback of this argument (because you know there will be one) and to see how Cyrus cleans this up and spins the story. You know that he is going to make Sally agree to forget about running for President against Fitz and to get on the Grant bandwagon. I'm sure he'll make her sign an agreement, too.
Some other mentionables: Cyrus breaking down in the Oval Office. Mellie totally looked like she wanted to say, "Awk-ward…." I DIED when she turned and gave Cyrus a minute to compose himself! Jake and Fitz will ALWAYS fight over Olivia. Point blank and the period. They should just mud wrestle! (Kidding! But isn't that what dudes say about girls??? Anywho…) Fitz let Jake know he can try to be her hero, but it's not going to work. Oh, another thing that I think is major-Olivia has not and does not tell ANYONE that she loves them. At first, I just thought it was Fitz. But in the flashback, Maya tells young Olivia, "I love you", and Olivia does not respond… My co-worker said that she told Edison she loved him, but I don't think that's accurate? (So who's right???)
Some of my co-workers wanted me to share a few things on my blog, so here goes: One, was Maya trying to insult Olivia when she told her she didnt' see any laughter in her life and that she was more like her father than her? I just thought it was an innocent comment and Maya meant that in terms of who Olivia THINKS her mother is. What say you? And my other c0-worker thinks Olivia is in a particular sorority. What do you guys think-IF Olivia was Greek, what would be her organization??? Just a thought and hopefully we can share some laughs, because last night's episode was intense.
I am anxiously awaiting next week's winter finale. What did you think of the episode? Who's really the bad guy? Who can be trusted? Is Cyrus going to help Sally? And will James leave or stay? Until next time, I'm just a Southern girl…in the city!

Southern Girl Movie Review: "The Best Man Holiday"
The first time I saw this movie I cried like a baby for about 5 minutes. (Yes, I saw it twice, and yes, the New Potential took me to see it the 2nd time. :)) As you know I had extremely high hopes for this film and was super excited to see it. Now, I gave you all an extra week to see it. So if you haven't seen it, you might want to skip this post, because there are going to be spoilers galore. I'm just forewarning you, so don't be mad at me! Now, I will say I was much more engrossed in the film when I saw it the first time, maybe because I knew what was going to happen the second time around. So I'll give you my perspective from my fresh eyes on opening night.
I definitely saw the growth of each character and even in the storyteller. Malcom D. Lee did an amazing job writing this sequel. Harper means well, but you truly see him for what he is-sneaky. And it's not that he means to be. But because he's not forthright with his actions and his intent, it comes off all wrong. You almost feel bad for him. But when you think about him keeping secrets (not telling Robin that he was fired from NYU, not asking Lance if he could write his biography), you realize that he kinda dug his own hole. I'm happy to say Robin did not get on my nerves in this movie like she did in the original. I love Sanaa Lathan, almost as much as I love Kerry Washington, but Robin was ANNOYING in "The Best Man". Anywho, I honestly don't think her character had a lot of airtime, but the time she was in the film interacting with Harper, she made valid points. And she made me laugh.
I will say that Lance's anger towards Harper was valid-he slept with his girl and kept it a secret-but he wrote about it in his book. But Lance forgot someone else that should have felt a little bit of his wrath-Mia. IMHO, I think Lance didn't address Mia's guilty part of the whole thing because of his views on gender roles. If you remember from the first movie, he didn't want his wife to work; he just wanted her to stay home and have his babies (which Mia did-four of them, but we'll talk about the babies later.) My thinking is that if a man believes a woman should be submissive, it probably means that he doesn't think she has a mind of her own and can think for herself. Or maybe he just didn't want to address that his good girl wasn't so good. My girl Mia had to be the strongest person in this whole movie. I knew at the second dinner that she was sick. I whispered to my homegirl, "She looks really skinny". Monica Calhoun did a bang up job in this film, and this was probably her best role to date…seriously.
Now, Jordan is going to always be Jordan. She's strong, she's tenacious, she's a go-getter, she's every woman's woman. I enjoyed seeing her be vulnerable with Brian McDaniels, or whatever his name was. Even though Eddie Cibrian may be a dog in real life, he is one fine man to look at. I'm glad she finally found love. But it's sad that it took her best friend getting sick for her to realize that life isn't all about work.
Murch was SO wrong for showing Quentin the video of Candy. He was also wrong for sharing it with the guys while they were playing pool (something I totally missed the first time). He definitely should have addressed it with Candy BEFORE they went to Lance and Mia's home. And especially before crazy Shelby was able to find the tape. Now I do not condone violence, but Shelby kinda deserved to get swung on. But I am mad that the fighting and name calling and cursing took place in front of the babies. That was a little outrageous and over the top. And I SO felt bad for Shelby's daughter Kennedy. Shelby's old mean self…Speaking of, I'm glad they explained why Shelby was there, because I was giving her the side eye.
Anywho, last certainly not least, my boy Quentin. He always speaks the truth, no matter how crazy his message comes out. But why do he and Shelby always have to end up in bed together??? It's slightly nauseating.
Side-eye worthy moments: When Lance threw up the hook and said, "Frienship is Essential to the Soul". If you're not a member of a BGLO (black Greek lettered organization), you may not understand. While names were not mentioned, it was pretty clear that Lance is a member of Omega Psi Phi and Mia (and by default Shelby) was a member of Delta Sigma Theta (Shout out to our centennial year!!!). Morris Chestnut is a not an Omega; he's a member a different fraternity. And I'll leave that there. Also, the Sullivan children. LJ and Hope (the two oldest) look like they could actually be Lance and Mia's children. But the youngest two (August and Faith) look like the casting director said, "I'm finished. Put whomever you want in those roles" because those children look NOTHING like their fictional parents. And I know it's a movie, but sheesh.
The moments I cried: When Harper caught Mia coughing. When Jordan cried. When Mia sang with the girls. When Marsha Ambrosius and Anthony Hamilton sang "As". When Lance broke down at the gravesite.
So, yes, this was mighty lengthy, but I had a lot to say about this film. I give this a 9.5 out of 10. And as I said in a previous post, there does not need to be a Part 3.
What did you all think? Love it? Hate it? Loved the story? Did you cry, too? Until next time, I'm just a Southern girl…in the city!

movie revew, movies, The Best Man Holiday


The Southeastern Anatolia Region has a very rich history and cultural heritage, as can be seen in its magnificent historic sites. Its history begins around 7000 B.C. in the New Stone Age. Between 2,000 B.C. and 1,500 B.C. came the Hurris who were followed by the Hittites sometime around 1,200 B.C.
In the land which encircles the Firat (Euphrates) and the Dicle (Tigris) Rivers, lived Abraham, the patriarch claimed by three global religions. Some think that Abraham was born in what is now called Sanli Urfa, supposed to have been Ur of the Chaldees, and later moved south from the city to Harran. In Harran, which was an important Mesopotamian historic and cultural center, the ruins of one of the largest and oldest Islamic universities can be seen among the archeological remains. Restoration of the 18th-century mansion, Kucuk Haci Mustafa Hacikamiloglu Konagi, is now complete. It has reopened as an art gallery.
When you travel from the south to the north over the Mesopotamian plains, the first high mountain to be seen is the picturesque Mount Nemrut, with the mausoleum of the Commagene King Antiochus at its 2,150 m peak.
The most important areas of the region are Diyarbakir; whose city walls are a superb example of medieval military architecture; Mardin, with its regional architecture; and Gaziantep, a large trade and industrial center which contains the remains of late Hittite cities.
The Ataturk Dam Lake is the region's holiday and water sports center. There are many beaches along the shore, which can give you an unforgettable holiday experience under the Mesopotamian sun.
The Southeastern Anatolia Project is the largest and most multifaceted development project in Turkey as well as one of the largest development projects in the world. The project includes active farming with extensive irrigation systems and electricity production.
The Southeastern Anatolia Project covers the lower parts of the Firat and Dicle Rivers and the provinces of Gazi Antep, Sanli Urfa, Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Mardin, Siirt, Batman and Sirnak on the plains between the rivers.
The Ataturk Dam and Hydroelectric Plant, the largest in Turkey and the sixth largest in the world, is situated on the Firat River in the town of Bozova in Sanli Urfa. Ataturk Dam, which is the foundation of the Southeastern Anatolia Project, began operation in 1994 and is important, not only for energy production, but also for irrigation.
The water obtained from the reservoirs of the Ataturk Dam will be carried to the Harran plain by the Sanli Urfa Tunnel System, which is the largest in the world, in terms of length and rate of flow. The waters of the Firat (Euphrates) River passes through tunnels which are 26.4 kms in length and 7.62 ms in diam, and distributed to the vast crop lands of the southeastern Anatolian plains from central and branch channels, bringing a prosperity to the region.
To explore the sites along Turkey's southern border, take the highway which connects Gazi Antep, Sanli, Urfa and Mardin to Syria and Iraq. Gaziantep (685 km southeast of Ankara) is located on a wide and fertile plain cultivated with extensive olive groves and vineyards and produces a wide variety of agricultural crops. It is especially known throughout Turkey for its excellent pistachios. Industry also contributes to the local economy.
The 36 towers of the city's fortress were originally constructed in the Justinian era and were later rebuilt by the Seljuks. The Archeology Museum has important artifacts from Neolithic, Hittite and Roman times. The Hasan Suzer House, from the turn of the last century, has been beautifully restored as the Ethnographical Museum. The artisans of Gaziantep specialize in copperware and furniture inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The kitchens here produce some of the best lahmacun, a delicious pizza topped with spicy meat and herbs, and also baklava, a honey and nut pastry.
West of Gazi Antep, the Duluk Forest makes a good day's outing, or you can stay overnight in the campsite. In the woods, stroll through the archeological site which dates back to prehistoric times. A Hittite school of sculpture was centered in Yesemek, where the 200 works of art still reveal the beauty of' the Hittite period. Next to the Syrian border, on the banks of the Firat River, Kargamis, once a late Hittite capital, is another important archeological site. The site's finds, including immense bas-reliefs, have been moved to the Museum Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara.
The ruins of Belkis (Zeugnia) are on the edge of Nizip. There is a mound which was turned into a citadel and mosaics from the Roman period which are well worth seeing.
Kilis, near the Turkish-Syrian border en route to Gazi Antep, was originally known in the Assyrian archives as Kilizi. Kilis is important for its cotton and silk weaving and also for its leather products. This most charming area is dotted with vineyards and olive groves. Also interesting are the Canbolat Bey complex, the old baths and a center that once housed a dervish order. Several other sites worth seeing nearby include Ravanda Castle, situated between Kilis and Gaziantep. Five km to the northeast is the town of Kuzeyne (Korus) that is like an open-air museum with its castle and mosaics. What makes it special is that here one can view ruins from Hittite, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic times all in one place. An ancient Roman center is found 20 km east of Kilis in the town of Korus (Kiriz). Ruins of a castle, a temple and a theater await your visit.
In the 12th century BC, Kahraman Maras (78 km north of Gazi Antep) was the capital of the Hittite state of Gurgum. A massive citadel built in the 2nd century BC now houses the city museum with a good collection of Hittite sculptures. Other sites include the 15th-century Ulu Mosque and the Tas Medrese. The city is famous throughout Turkey for its ice cream, thickened with gum arabic and beaten with a wooden paddle.
Adiyaman is 153 km northeast of Gazi Antep. The Archeological Museum houses regional finds from the Lower Firat which date from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic ages. Good quality kilims, woven in bright colors sell for reasonable prices in the bazaar. Surrounding monuments include the ruins of an Abbasid citadel (restored by the Seljuks) and the 14th-century Ulu Mosque. The discovery of oil in the region has brought prosperity to Adiyaman, Five km to the north is Pirin (Perre), that boasts a large Roman necropolis dug out of the rock and soil. The Haydaran rock tombs and a relief of King Antiochus shaking hands with the sun god are found 17 km north of Adiyaman in the village of Tasgedik.
Adiyaman and Kahta (which also has good accommodations and camping facilities) make good bases from which to visit Nemrut Dagi (Mount Nemrut) National Park. You can hire transportation in either town. On the summit of Nemrut Dagi, the highest mountain in Northern Mesopotamia at 2,150 m, sits the gigantic funerary sanctuary erected in the first century B.C. by King Antiochus I of Commagene. The engineering involved continues to amaze visitors seeing for the first time the artificial tumulus, flanked by terraces on which rest the colossal statues of Apollo, Zeus, Hercules, Tyche and Antiochus. Time has inflicted heavy damage on the sculptures - their torsos sit with their beautifully carved heads at their feet.
At ancient Eskikale (Arsameia of Nymphaios), a magnificent relief in the ruins of what scholars believe might have been the Commagene Palace depicts Hercules greeting the Commagene king, Mithradates. Anatolia's largest Greek inscription is also located here. Opposite this site, separated by the Eski Kahta River, are the remains of Yenikale (New Castle) built by the Mamluks. Other nearby sights include the 2nd century Roman bridge at Cendere (which is still in use) and another Commagene royal tumulus, Karakus. At Karakus. there is a nine m high pillar dating from the first century BC with an eagle on top.
In the great Upper Mesopotamian plain, Sanli Urfa, thought by some to be the ancient city of Ur and later known as Edessa, proudly exhibits the legacy of all the civilizations that have prospered in this region.
Some of the oldest signs of civilization, dating to 7000 B.C., were found 70 km northwest of Sanli Urfa, at the village of Kantara. The recent development of dams and a hydroelectric plant stand in stark contrast to the ancient site of a temple and Neolithic settlement which is 9000 years old. The temple has been identified as a religious center for moon worship. This site is the only one of its kind in the world. Visitors can view small idols and religious figures as well as some very early and beautiful mosaic work from the settlement. On a hill 20 km north of Sanli Urfa lies Gobekli. This settlement is also at least 9000 years old, and may rest atop even older settlements in lower layers of the artificial hill. The probable work place of an ancient idol maker can be seen here where many finished and unfinished human and animal figures and tools have been found.
The Sanli Urfa area, in the second millennium B.C., was a city of a Hurrite state. Some believe that Abraham was born in a cave near where the Mevlid Halil Mosque now stands. Today, the cave is a pilgrimage site whore flocks of pigeons do not seem to disturb the elderly men praying around the entrance. The remains of a castle with two lone Corinthian columns rising above the ruined walls stands atop a small crest. At the foot of the hills, the lovely Halil Rahman Mosque is built around a quiet pool in which sacred carp swim. The 17th-century Ottoman Ridvaniye Mosque and the Firfirli Mosque, formerly the Church of the Apostles, are worth a detour. The archeology and ethnography museum, one of the best in Turkey, houses important Neolithic and Chalcolithic finds from the Lower Firat region. To capture the spirit of Sanli Urfa, wander through the vaulted eastern bazaar and linger in the courtyards of the old hans (inns). See if you can find Gumruk Hani and Barutcu Ham - the most interesting of the old hans.
Believed to be the ancient city of Haran mentioned in the Old Testament, Harran, 48 km south of Sanli Urfa, is known more now for its unusual beehive dwellings than as the place where Abraham actually spent several years of his life. Harran, which was also known as Helenopolis, was burned and destroyed by Mongolian invaders in 1260. Included among the archeological finds are those of the largest ancient Islamic university, city walls dating from the eighth century, four gates and a citadel.
Birecik, 80 km west of Sanli Urfa, straddles the Firat River and is dominated by the citadel. It is a good place to take a break with confortable accommodations and camping facilities. The endangered Ibis also lives in a protected environment here.
Diyarbakir, known in ancient times as Amida, has been a cradle of 26 civilizations during its 5000-year history. The city is spread across a basalt plateau close to the banks of the Dicle (Tigris) River. The black basalt triple walls which encircle the old town give the city a rather ominous appearance. These ramparts are 5.5 km in length, have 16 towers and 5 gates arc decorated with inscriptions and bas-reliefs, and represent a superb example of medieval military architecture. The Ulu Mosque, built by the Seljuk basalt. The Nebii Mosque represents the typical Ottoman style, while the Safa Mosque exhibits Persian influences in its tiled minaret. The third century Aramaic Church of the Virgin Mary (Meryemana Kilisesi), which is still in use today, also makes for an interesting visit. For an example of early domestic architecture, stop at the restored home of the writer Cahit Sitki Taranci. The sultan Melik Shah is notable for its original design for its utilization of both Byzantine and more ancient architectural materials. The mihrap (prayer niche showing the direction to Mecca) of the nearby Mesudiye Medrese is made of the local black Deliller Han (Inn) of 1527 by the Mardin Gates, converted into a hotel, recreates the atmosphere of the days when trading caravans stopped Diyarbakir. Just outside the city walls, by the river, stands Ataturk's house, now a museum. South of town at the Dicle Bridge, built in 1065, you can take a great picture of the Dicle River, the bridge and the city walls.
In Silvan, 77 km east of Diyarbakir you should stop at the graceful Ulu Mosque, which dates from 1185, to admire the fine flowing lines of stone relief work that outline the pointed arch portal.
Cayonu, one of the earliest Neolithic settlements yet to be discovered, dates from the seventh millennium B.C.
From a distance, the golden stone houses of Mardin blend into the rock of the hills on which the city is built. On closer inspection, the stone carving and decoration of the houses and public buildings reveals the city to be an architectural treasure. The citadel was built in 975-976 by Harridan. It is a km long from east to west, and from 30 m to 150 m wide. Ulu Mosque is Mardin's oldest mosque built in 1186 in the time of the Artukid ruler, Kutbeddin Ilgaz. The 15th-century Kasim Pasa Medrese is remarkable for its fine stonework. At the lovely Isa Bey Medrese, from the 14th century, you can admire the magnificently carved portal and climb to its roof to enjoy a fantastic view of the Mesopotamian Plain.
Midyat, famous for its silver jewelry known as "telkari," also has many elegant and historic houses. Eighteen km east of town is the active Syriac-Jacobite monastery of Deyrelumur (San Gabriel), which dates from the beginning of the fifth century.
Batman is the oil-producing center, with oil pumping the precious fuel dotting the surrounding area. North of Batman, the Malabadi Bridge, built in 1147, spans the Batman River. Undisturbed by time, peaceful waters still reflect the widest single-arch bridge of its day. Two guard towers ensured the bridge's security.
At Hasankeyf are the ruins of the 12th-century capital of the Artukids. The bridge, which once spanned the Dicle (Tigris) and connected the two parts of the city with the ruined palace inside the citadel, evokes the ghosts of a vanished dynasty. The l5th-century Zeynel Bey Mausoleum, attractively decorated with turquoise tiles, reveals Persian influence.
Siirt, 192 km northeast of Diyarbakir, was an especially eminent city at the time of the Abbasid Caliphate. Among the city's monuments, be sure to visit the 12th-century Seljuk Ulu Mosque and the 13th-century Asakir Carsi Mosque. At Aydinlar (Tillo), only seven km from Siirt, the l8th-century Ibrahim Hakki Mausoleum Complex and nearby private Ibrahim Hakki Astronomical Museum are worth a visit. Ibrahim Hakki, who studied science under Seyh Ismail Fakirullah, wrote over 40 works, the best of which are Ilahiname and Marifetname. Siirt produces fine and large pistachio nuts and is known as well for its excellent goat-hair blankets and kilims.
Baykan County in Siirt is home of the Veysel Karam Mausoleum. Veysel Karani was the beloved friend of the prophet Muhammad who was killed in battle in 657. The mausoleum is located 38 km north of Siirt and eight km southwest of Baykan at the intersection of the Siirt- Diyarbakir-Bitlis highways. A Veysel Karani memorial service is held each year on May 16-17.
Sirnak on the north face of Mount Cudi (2,114 ms), derives its name from the Muslim belief that Noah's Ark landed on this mountain: Sir-City, Nak-Noah. Forty-five km from Sirnak, Cizre is the supposed location of his tomb.
