I was born on 11 April, 1991. My mother was a big white mare. But she left me when I was little and said that she had to go away and I was old enough to be alone. My father abandoned the family before I was born, so now I am an orphan, a poor young orphan.
As I grew I became lonelier and lonelier. I had no family, friends, or even other creatures as buddies. I didn't have support throughout my growing years. So I learned by myself. I taught myself something new everyday.
One day the poor stable owner decided to move to the city. I didn't want to go. On the good side, I figured that he would not take me. On the bad side, where will I go.... I can't live here - there's no one? I finally decided to move on towards the north, to Syria, and ended up in Turkey instead. I had travelled too much. Anyway life wasn't as good as I had expected. It was dull, boring and no grass for grazing. I moved on due to north again, to Poland. I settled in and made myself at home on the grassy lands of Poland.
Everyday I grazed for food in the plain fields, looking for hope. Finally the day came. I met an Arabian beauty, a white filly just like my mother. I instantly fell in love with her and felt a sudden burst of life come all over me. As a few years went by, I stayed with the white filly until I was 14 years old. Finally we were mates. We happily shared what we needed to share and took what we needed from the faithful old prairie.
A triumphant day of my life finally came, and we both had a son, a grey colt. We both knew that it was a dream come true for everyone. Being wild is being pure, and being pure is being good. I believe manpower. Without men the whole world would be different. Manpower involves many things. It involves a very, to do what is right and stand up for others. Speed, to rescue and reach out to others. Wisdom, to think right and make right decisions. Last but not least, unity to build up close family relations, and to help someone in need. Working as a team is better than one.
Thanks, you were part of it. I used the horse photo in the horse calender you gave us as an insperation.
wow!! thats amazing ash!! you're an awesome writer!

Lynn Nottage on RUINED
Six years ago, I traveled to East Africa to interview Congolese women fleeing the armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). I was fueled by my desire to tell the story of war, but through the eyes of women, who as we know rarely start conflicts, but inevitably find themselves right smack in the middle of them. I was interested in giving voice and audience to African women living in the shadows of war.
The circumstances in the DRC are complicated; there is a slow simmering armed conflict that continues to be fought on several fronts, even though the war officially ended in 2002. You have one war being fought for natural resources between militias funded by the government and industry; you have the remnants of an ethnic war, which is the residue of the genocide in Rwanda that spilled over the border into Congo; and then you have the war that I examine in my play Ruined, which is the war being waged against women. To throw some statistics at you, according to International Rescue Committee, nearly 5.4 million people have died in that country since that conflict began; every month, 45,000 Congolese people die from hunger, preventable disease, and violence related to war. The fact is the war in the Congo is the deadliest confl ict since World War II. It is sometimes called World War III, because of the international interests that fuel the conflict in order to exploit the land, which is rich in minerals such as gold, coltan, copper, and diamonds.
In 2004, I went to East Africa to collect the narratives of Congolese women, because I knew their stories weren't being heard. I had no idea what play I would fi nd in that war-torn landscape, but I traveled to the region because I wanted to paint a three-dimensional portrait of the women caught in the middle of armed conflicts; I wanted to understand who they were beyond their status as victims.
I was surprised by the number of women who readily wanted to share their stories. One by one, through tears and in voices just above a whisper, they recounted raw, revealing stories of sexual abuse and torture at the hands of both rebel soldiers and government militias. The word rape was a painful refrain, repeated so often it made me physically sick. By the end of the interviews, I realized that a war was being fought over the bodies of women. Rape was being used as a weapon to punish and destroy communities. In listening to their narratives I came to terms with the extent to which their bodies had become battlefields.
I remember the strong visceral response that I had to the very first Congolese woman who shared her story. Her name was Salima, and she related her story in such graphic detail that I remember wanting to cry out for her to stop, but I knew that she had a need to be heard. She'd walked miles from her refugee camp to share her story with a willing listener. Salima described being dragged from her home, arrested, and wrongfully imprisoned by men seeking to arrest her husband. In prison she was beaten and raped by five soldiers. She finally bribed her way out of prison, only to discover that her husband and two of her four children were abducted. At the time of the interview she had still not learned the whereabouts of her husband and two children. I found my play Ruined in the painful narratives of Salima and the other Congolese women, in their gentle cadences and the monumental space between their gasps and sighs. I also found my play in the way they occasionally accessed their smiles, as if glimpsing beyond their wounds into the future.
In Ruined, Mama Nadi gives three young women refuge and an unsavory means of survival. As such, the women do a fragile dance between hope and disillusionment in an attempt to navigate life on the edge of an unforgiving conflict. My play is not about victims, but survivors. Ruined is also the story of the Congo. A country blessed with an abundance of natural beauty and resources, which has been its blessing and its curse.

27-Year-Old Engineer Quits Career To Become Fish Breeder And Earns A Lot More
Success is finding your passion.
Some people thought that they have finally figured life out: study well, graduate, get a job, succeed. However, that's not always the case.
Life, as we all know, is full of surprises and what may work for other people doesn't automatically mean that it will work for you as well. In fact, one engineer even gave up his career to become a fish breeder instead — and he's never been happier.
Mohd Fajiha Alaihis worked as an engineer at a firm and earned just RM 1,500 (US$ 358.94) a month. The Malaysian knew that his income wouldn't be able to support his family, despite having a much-wanted career.
Since the 27-year-old had always been interested in fish, breeding them seemed to be the most natural next step.
His big break came when a sibling bought a good quality breeding fish, and he was able to earn money on its first baby. Mohd then realized that he could make a lot of money as a fish breeder.
"One day, my sibling bought a good quality parent fighting fish, and I tried to breed it. Then, I managed to sell its first baby in Singapore for SGD 200 (US$ 145.83) a pair. After that, it struck me that breeding and selling fighting fishes could make a lucrative income."
To become a successful and professional breeder, Mohd did a lot of research on the field and underwent training so he could learn more about breeding betta fighting fishes.
Today, he breeds and sells betta fish variants like Halfmoon, Halfmoon Plakat, Dumbo and Veil Tail. He is also the chairman of the Malaysian Fighting Fish Club.
Mohd has over 8,000 of these betta fishes in different varieties. Although he started his career as an engineer and earning RM 1,500 a month, he now makes a five-figure income as a fish breeder.

Quadruplets Mom Goes After Trolls Making Fun Of Her Post-Baby Body
Nobody can mess with this fierce mommy!
The internet can be harsh on anybody, even hard-working mothers. A mother who recently gave birth to quadruplets had previously shared a photo of her post-partum body. Unfortunately, trolls immediately began making fun of the stretch marks that cover her stomach. However, the feisty mom didn't take any of the trolling lying down.
Doreen Ching is a Malaysian mother who gave birth to adorable quadruplets Jensen, Jayden, Jasper, and Jazreel. Although the loving mom is smitten with her babies, she is also aware of the effect they had on her body while she was still pregnant. When Doreen's followers asked the beauty shop owner how they could get rid of scars, she had an empowering message.
Doreen is only 23 but she's already the mother of four little children.
Miss Philippines Catriona Gray was just crowned as Miss Universe 2018. The country's contender had been one of the front-runners to win the coveted title, and she didn't disappoint.
Even before the coronation night, Catriona had already garnered a lot of fans from all around the world for her beauty and charm. Now that she is officially Miss Universe 2018, many are eager to know more about her. Here are the six things to know about Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray.
1. Catriona's dad is Scottish, and her mom is Filipino.
Some People Believe Santa Should Now Be Female Or Gender Neutral
Are you open to a female Santa?
When we talk about Santa, we immediately think about an old bearded man, wearing a red and white suit. He passed through the chimney to send out our gifts, and take a bite or two of the cookies we left for him and drink the milk. This is what we have in mind every time we think about Father Christmas. But now people are thinking if Santa should be female or gender neutral.
It was first suggested that Santa should be female after two women volunteered to play Santa as part of a festive tour in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham. However, a lot of people were not impressed by this idea.

Hyundai Motor Co. is practicing its corporate social initiative in the Philippines by bringing in the first batch of Korean student volunteers for its Happy Move Global Youth Volunteers program.
Accompanied by officials and representatives from Hyundai's corporate responsibility department, the student volunteers are participating in social contribution activities geared at helping families and communities at Malinta in Valenzuela City. Also present are representatives from the Korea Food for the Hungry International (KFHI) which serves as Hyundai's non-governmental organization partner for this project as they help coordinate and carry out the activities at the said locations.
"Hyundai's Happy Move Global Youth Volunteers program expands Hyundai's contribution to the global community by nurturing the youth through enriching activities that promote a culture of sharing, compassion, and selflessness," said Hyeon-sook Heo, deputy general manager of Hyundai Motor's corporate responsibility department. "This program also serves as an opportunity for the youth of Korea to promote a viable exchange of culture that will help lead to a deeper understanding of our nations and the strengthening of partnerships in the global community."
For the next two weeks, sixty student volunteers will devote their time, energy and inspiration in building and renovation activities at Pinalagad Village and Dulong Tangke Village in Barangay Malinta, Valenzuela City. For Pinalagad Village, the program aims to build 10 houses for the most underprivileged families, renovate and extend the toilets of Pinalagad Elementary School and conduct a hygiene awareness educational campaign for the students. For Dulong Tangke Village, volunteers will build a cement access road to the village and install public toilets to promote a more hygienic environment.
"We sincerely thank Hyundai Motor Company, the student volunteers from Korea, and representatives of the KFHI for conducting the Happy Move program here in the Philippines," said Fe Perez-Agudo, president and chief executive of Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc., the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the Philippines. "Their message of hope, as concretized through the activities that will be conducted in this program, resonates our continued confidence in our countries, Korea and the Philippines, to remain united in the pursuit of a better future for our nations."

Got questions about The Lesbian Fiction Directory? A. E. Radley is here to help!
It's finally Friday! Whew, this has been a long week. The good news is this weekend is a three-day weekend for me. Woot.
The even better news is A. E. Radley is here to chat about the Lesbian Fiction Directory she plans to launch soon.
When Amanda first mentioned this to me, I was intrigued and bombarded her with questions. She was kind enough to agree to an interview so I can share it with all of you.
Without further ado, here's the interview with Amanda.
Let's start with the big picture. Why do you want to start a Lesbian Fiction Directory?
The lesbian fiction market is getting bigger and better every year, and that's a great thing but it also comes with some challenges. New authors can struggle to find an audience, and readers can feel dazed by the amount of choice on offer. Often readers want to try new authors but they aren't sure who to pick, usually relying on word of mouth recommendations.
The Lesbian Fiction Directory allows authors to have a profile page, connecting readers to their websites, social media, and catalogue but it also matches up similar authors. This means that readers can use a central Directory to find new books to read, and authors can find new audiences. All in one location.
How is it different from other lesfic sites?
While there are other lesfic directories, I believe that the Lesbian Fiction Directory is the only one that uses a database to match up similar authors and displays suggestions to users. It will also be advertised on search engines and social media to find new audiences who may not be aware of the lesfic genre. My background is marketing, digital marketing to be precise, and I will be using that knowledge to make the Lesbian Fiction Directory as visible as possible.
You've asked authors to register to determine whether or not there's a need for the site. How's it going so far?
It's going extremely well! There has been some reluctance in some corners but that's bound to happen when something new comes along. For the most part, people have been very eager to learn more and be a part of the project. It looks like we will be launching sooner than expected as a result!
Why should authors work together?
Many mainstream Indie authors quickly identified the importance of working together but it seems that we're still playing catch up in the lesfic world. The simple truth of the matter is that many people make more noise than a single person. If authors work together through group promotions, boxsets, sales, mailing lists and more then they reach a larger audience. With a larger audience comes more sales. With more sales comes more visibility and the chance to break into mainstream.
For me, mainstream is extremely important. Not for personal glory or riches, but to bring the stories of lesfic into lives of all readers. Lifting lesfic out of its genre and into a wider audience will help with visibility and acceptance for all of us.
You mention search engines as part of the reason for setting up the directory. Can you explain the importance of your reasoning for people like me, whose eyes glaze over at the mere utterance of SEO?
Ah, the dreaded technicalities of search engines and SEO marketing! It's all actually quite simple. Google, and other search engines, rank websites based on several factors including volume of content, relevance of content, speed, frequency of change, traffic volume, and much more.
If you think about a single author with a website, it would be extremely difficult for that one author to meet all the criteria to appear when a user types in a search query. But, if that one author bands together with many other authors in a single directory, it's a lot easier.
This is the principle of the Lesbian Fiction Directory. With 50, 100, 500 authors all together in the one place, search engines are more likely to take notice!
Why do you charge authors to be part of the directory?
We charge authors $25 per year, or 6 cents a day if you prefer, to be a member of the Directory. The reason for this is three-fold, hosting, administration and marketing.
As I just explained, speed is one of the key Google ranking factors. It's essential that we have a good hosting service that provides a fast and efficient service.
Second, we intend this Directory to continue to grow. This means new authors being added all the time, new books, changes to biographies, new reviews, new social media accounts. When you consider the volume of lesfic authors and the amount of changes required, this will soon mount up.
Lastly, marketing! The Directory will be advertised on search engines and social media platforms to spread the word. We'll also be working extensively on the SEO side of things to ensure that the Directory rates as highly as possible for organic search results.
We're also going to be donating 10% of the overall membership fee every year to lesbian charities, as voted on by the membership. The more members we have, the more we can donate. Just another example of working together for the greater good!
Will there be a fee for readers?
No, there's no fee for readers. We hope the readers will be the lifeblood of the Directory.
What's the main takeaway you want to highlight?
The Lesbian Fiction Directory is something that can benefit everyone, established authors, newcomers, and readers. It's the very essence of working together, something I'm passionate about. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of working together! There can be a lot of negativity when something new comes along, probably borne out of fear. But I urge people to get involved, I understand that the cost involved may put people off and this is something we thought long and hard about, but the truth is that this is a big undertaking and one that requires investment. We've tried to keep costs as low as we can and I'm sure everyone will agree that $25 per year is a small price to pay for twelve-month access to a full-service marketing platform.
When not writing or working, Radley indulges in her third passion of buying unnecessary cat accessories on a popular online store for her two ungrateful strays whom she has threatened to return for the last seven years.
Thanks Amanda for taking the time to share.

Random Game Lags But Ping Is Fine???
Hi everyone, Ive been having a problem lately that needs solving. Whenever I play online games on steam, my games will just lag. My ping is perfectly fine but it still just lags. It lasts for about 1 second and goes back to normal. This happens every 15 to 25 seconds. Its quite annoying and cant solve the problem. My temps are fine on my CPU and GPU. I really can't think of a problem. It only happens in games not youtube or anything and my discord is also perfectly fine. Im stumped please help.
Two different problem descriptions here, GPU and CPU temps being too high is one kind of lag, high ping is another. What kind of lag are you experiencing? Rubber banding? Low framerates?
Then it must be a network problem..is the FPS drop when it happen?
uh, i dont really know i dont think so. is that supposed to indicate something?
rubber banding. I know the difference. I was just saying it lol.
kill ping? Also this happens on all my pc's in my house that are logged into my steam account.
Just to be clear, you do mean multiple games yeah? Any specifics? If it's just one or two games, it may be possible it's issues with their servers. For awhile I'd get lots of rubberbanding in Rocket League even with very low ping, turns out it was a server issue.
Also, how long have you had this issue? Is this something new?
all online games about 2 months ive had this. but somethimes it doesnt happen its weird.
Which GPU is more silent and has better cooling?
PC Idles at 4.2gb of Ram Usage???
What is the difference between surround and stereo?
Is google collecting data through microphones?


It became known yesterday that the Bank of England left interest rate unchanged at the level of 0.5%. Volume of bond repurchase program was also kept at the previous level of 375 billion pounds per month. Experts believe that the Bank of England intends to maintain the volume of incentive program until 2016. However, US Fed is planning to change monetary policy in the near future, thereby increasing demand for the American currency.
On the H4 chart the pair GBP/USD has reached the upper limit of the trading channel at the level of 1.6489. Later the pair can reach resistance level of 1.6500, where there many stop-losses. If the price manages to break down this level, the pair will grow to the level of 1.6606. Possibility of growth is confirmed by the fact that the pair is trading above the moving average with the period 200 (1.6337), which is a strong support level.
It is recommended to open long positions after breakdown of resistance level of 1.6500 with stop-loss near 1.6450 and a target of 1.6620.

Senior Scholars and Their Colleagues Deliberate the Past, Present, and Future of Writing Studies
edited by Norbert Elliot & Alice S. Horning
"The authors in Talking Back offer a rich array of interesting and keenly insightful perspectives on writing studies. These scholars help us understand where they—as well as the field and many of its subfields—have been, where they are now, and where they are headed. We see how these scholars have helped to shape writing studies—and how writing studies has helped to shape their research and teaching. What a delightful read!"
—Duane Roen, Arizona State University
"The perspectives of these elders alone would make an impressive book, but including the dialogue with less seasoned scholars makes this an indispensable collection. We will be talking about Talking Back for a long time to come."
—Anne Ruggles Gere, University of Michigan
In Talking Back, a veritable Who's Who of writing studies scholars deliberate on intellectual traditions, current practices, and important directions for the future. In response, junior and mid-career scholars reflect on each chapter with thoughtful and measured moves forward into the contemporary environment of research, teaching, and service. Each of the prestigious chapter authors in the volume has three common traits: a sense of responsibility for advancing the profession, a passion for programs of research dedicated to advancing opportunities for others, and a reflective sense of their work accompanied by humility for their contributions. As a documentary, Talking Back is the first history of writing studies in autobiography.

'We didn't do a good enough job defensively,' Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder says after another loss to lowly Memphis Grizzlies
Published: March 8, 2019 10:44 pm
fortydam OREM, UT
March 9, 2019 12:41 p.m.
Conley has been injured for long periods of time in his career, he's a better scorer than Rubio but his three point percentage isn't that good. Rubio is a better rebounder, better assist man, (if the Jazz could shoot), and Conleys contract outrageous. Who is healthy and available that's a true point guard?
Iowa Jazz Fan 2 Cedar Rapids, IA
You could say that Conley showed last night why the Jazz were so eager to acquire him. When the Jazz were just four points down with several minutes left, it was Conley who kept the Grizzlies ahead with his patented teardrop shots. He was clutch.
(Still, the Grizzlies' asking price for him was too much).
oldbasketball Draper, UT
Memphis owns the Jazz.

Rudy has not been playing at all like an all-star- oputplayed by better centers... his fumble fingers have returned, more dropped passes than blocks or dunks. Fortunately, Favors has gotten better and been able to fill in the gap.
xert Santa Monica, CA
Not mentioned, Favs--who has been playing so well--seemed to not come to the arena to play last night.
Also--Another night off for Rubio. When you combine Rubio's nights off--with his off nights, you get a ratio of him helping the team for about a third of their scheduled games. He is a very talented player but he takes time to get used to and there is no night after night after night of gelling with his team.
The Jazz have been seriously hurt this season by the injury bug and Rubio, Neto and Exum. Last night was an obvious example of why solid and experienced point guard play is necessary. Spidah got his points, but he did not bring the rest of the team into the flow of the offense. The Jazz gave up on Rodney Hood when he simply didn't seem to be able to stay healthy and on CJ Miles when it seemed that he simply was not going to get much better. Dante Exum has really not shown as much growth as CJ displayed and he seems even less capable than Hood of staying healthy. Ditto Neto. These long stretches of re-acclimating due to staggered lineups are what keep the Jazz from being great.
Please---tougher players and players who can take care of themselves. Theyre out there.

Saturn's weird, Earth-like moon just failed a key test for alien life
by Dragon Sun Feb 16, 2020 5:00 pm
Saturn's most Earth-like moon looks a bit less likely to host life, thanks to quantum mechanics, the weird rules that govern subatomic particles.
Titan, the second largest moon in our solar system after Jupiter's Ganymede, is unique in two ways that have convinced some researchers that this moon might host extraterrestrial life: It's the only moon in our solar system with a dense atmosphere, and it's the only body in space, besides Earth, known to definitely have pools of liquid on its surface.
In Titan's case, those pools are frigid lakes of hydrocarbons, closer to the gasoline in a car than the oceans on Earth. But some researchers have suggested that complex structures could arise in those pools: bubbles with special properties that mimic ingredients found to be necessary for life on our planet.

Major traumas will be sent to hospitals in either Dublin or Cork under new plan
A specialist trauma unit will also be located in a third location.

THE CABINET HAS today approved the overhauling of how trauma care is delivered in Ireland.
Under the new trauma system there will be two major trauma centres in Dublin and one in Cork.
It's understood that a special trauma unit will also be established, possibly in Galway, which will deal with specialist injuries. At present, 26 hospitals can receive trauma cases, but in future the more complex emergencies will go to one of the two major centres.
Major trauma involving complex injuries impacts around 1,600 patients a year in Ireland, said Health Minister Simon Harris.
'The right care in the right place'
"While this is a small number within more than 1.1 million emergency department attendances, it is essential that these patients receive the right care in the right place, first time," he added.
Harris explained that at the moment there is now trauma system in Ireland. Traumas are sent to emergency departments, which the minister said might not have "adequate clear protocols around trauma", he said.
The minister said this means that currently, patients may present to any acute hospital, regardless of how much expertise and experience in trauma exists there.
"We know that patients often need to be transferred to a second hospital to receive definitive care for their injuries. This can mean delays in decision-making and treatment that can result in poorer outcomes and preventable disability or death.
"Internationally, the evidence is clear – the introduction of a trauma system is associated with a reduction in death and disability," said Harris.
It's reported that there were criticisms of the plan from a number of rural TDs who said the plan did not recognise the unique population dispersal of the country.
However, the health minister maintains that the aim of centralising trauma centres "is to reduce death and disability, and ensure high quality trauma services are available to everyone in the country whether they live in a city or in rural Ireland," he said.
It's understood the Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan has also sought assurances the HSE would use the new trauma policy to increase preparedness for dealing with mass casualty incidents.
The Director General of the HSE Tony O'Brien said he looks forward to progressing the establishment of the National Office for Trauma Services and the appointment of a National Clinical Lead as soon as possible.

For warmth and windproof protection, the Middle Layer Salopettes are ideal. The soft shell fabric is treated with Durable Water Repellent (DWR) that causes water to bead off the salopettes so you can wear these as an outer layer in light spray or for warmth beneath waterproof outer layers. You also can be sure of durability with the reinforced seat and crotch gusset. The ergonomic fit ensures minimal bulk and you have maximum freedom of movement with the 4-way stretch panels across the shoulders for active sailing. This will become your mid layer essential.


The geographical coordinates of Istanbul imposeda special mark on its substance. Spread both in Europe and Asia, the Turkish metropolis absorbed and the beauty of Eastern exoticism and civilization of the West. To see Istanbul and understand that Turkey is different - the purpose of independent travelers, storming the shore of the Golden Horn Bay in search of these adventures.
Turkish metropolis climate due to proximitySea differ variability. Optimal time for visiting Istanbul - spring and early autumn, when the chance of rain is minimal, and the average temperature for a long time and allow you to walk comfortably.
Direct flight Turkish Airlines, orRussian companies - the easiest option to be in the city on the Bosphorus. In fact, many independent travelers fly local airlines and other countries, choosing the long dock in Istanbul. This gives them the right to use the free sightseeing tours waiting for the next flight.
But a few hours in Istanbul - it is negligible even for exploring the main attractions, and therefore is still to find a hotel and enjoy a more intimate acquaintance with the city.
One of the most popular areas of Istanbul, where you canto find a cheap hotel - Laleli. If the noise and crush - not the most desirable option, it is worth paying attention to the Sultanahmet district, where the quieter and more civilized but also more expensive, respectively. Trust the presence or absence of stars on the facade of Turkish hotels is not necessary. It is much more objective - feedback from previous guests, for which it makes sense to focus when choosing a lodging place.
In Istanbul, perfectly prepared, regardless of thethe status and location of the institution. Grab a snack from street vendors, and enjoy lunch or dinner - in any restaurant, whose prices and menu will satisfy the traveler. Caring staff and service in the Eastern attached a nice bonus.
A ride on the Bosphorus and find greatshops of the European level in the Asian part of the city to taste the best fish dishes in restaurants fishing village of Anadolu and have a coffee in a cafe in the most extreme point of Europe - is the minimum program for every tourist in Istanbul. And worth to admire the Blue Mosque and compare it to the Hagia Sophia, then, do not come to terms with yourself, go at night disco, where even the most powerful sadness fly away towards the Bosphorus with horn exhaust cruise liner.

As your surgery nears, getting through the operation itself is probably all that's on your mind. But having a plan before surgery for your home set-up and what exercise you can be doing up to surgery and what exercise will be expected post-surgery, can help you build your confidence and reduce your worry going in to surgery.
No matter how much of a miracle worker your surgeon is, that skillful work can be undone without proper pre and post-surgical rehabilitation by a qualified occupational therapist.
The two main areas of concern for anyone after an operation are loss of strength and loss of mobility. Therapy can work on reducing inflammation and strengthening related muscles pre-operatively to create the best possible environment for surgery, ensuring the best possible outcome. Not only are the specific areas on which you will be operated on will be stronger and given plenty of attention — but your overall endurance and flexibility will also be improved as you head in to surgery. This comprehensive approach to therapy before and after an operation allows you to bounce back more quickly.
Which operations should have Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Therapy?
Shoulder, elbow, wrist and finger fractures.
How does pre-operative rehab improve your outcome from surgery?
Our body's natural ability to heal itself can be impeded by excessive inflammation. Therapy can help reduce inflammation either with massage, ice/heat application, electrical stimulation and exercise. Therapy can also provide a strengthening program to the body regions surrounding the operative site to reduce the amount of loss of strength that occurs naturally by just having the surgery. Proper instruction in cane, crutch, walker or assisting to set up your home environment can lessen the fear and stress of having to learn what to do while you are in pain and on medication immediately after surgery.
Any time of operation can result in mild to extreme discomfort. Therapy can help reduce this pain in a number of ways, from applying ice, gentle massage or low-pulse electrical devices, to gently manipulating your muscles to ease tension. Assistive device use such as slings or braces, and adapting how you do things are sometimes crucial to an excellent and speedy recovery.
Once your pain is under control, therapy can begin to address the challenges of your specific surgery.
Of course, being laid up can affect your body in ways that extend beyond the area of surgery. You might lose muscle mass, or even develop breathing problems, in some instances. Occupational Therapy takes a holistic approach to your care and will work with you to rebuild your strength and endurance, while also working the specific surgical areas.


To understand something in the networking world, you have to understand the problem it's trying to solve. Memorizing the configuration options for a certain routing protocol won't help you until you understand what it's really doing. This installment of Networking 101 is designed to be a gentle introduction into the world of routing issues and concepts, arguably the most interesting and important part of networking, explaining the problems routing protocols address so you can understand why they do what they do.
Before we get into the details, a clarification. When you hear people refer to "non-routable addresses," they are talking about RFC 1918 IP addresses, i.e. private addresses. Despite the misleading label, they certainly are routable. You can and should have some 10.x.x.x networks for local access and management. They can even be co-mingled with your real routers. They are called "non-routable" because the Internet routers will drop them. You should drop these packets at your border, as was pointed out in this Border Security article last year. This is a point of confusion for a lot of people.
Routing databases to store information that the algorithm has discovered. The routing database sometimes corresponds directly to routing table entries, sometimes not.
Our installment on layersactually introduces a bit of routing by talking about the paths an IP packet takes through operating systems and routers. What may not have been clear, though, is how the routing table lookup step works.
Remember subnetting? Most routers will simply find the shortest prefix in the routing table when it looks for a path for your packet. If there's a "host route," or /32 entry, that is always preferred. Any more specific routes, like the one that says what subnet you're on, will also be preferred before the default route is chosen.
We also need to understand some really basic problems with routing. Just like in Layer 2, routers need to be redundant. Redundancy always introduces the possibility of a loop, and every routing protocol has to deal with this. As we'll see in future Networking 101 articles about specific protocols, this is pretty much a solved problem.
The previous paragraph really embodies what routing is. You get packets closer to the destination. Of course, you have to know what's at each destination, and that's what routing protocols tell you. It's really easy to jump back and fourth when talking about routing, so take note that all of the above was with the picture of a single network in mind. This is also known as a routing domain. A routing domain is a set of routers that are all under the same administrative control; presumably all running the same routing protocols.
When routing packets, we have a few paradigms to choose from. The telco world sets up a circuit for your telephone call as soon as you dial. The path is always the same, and it's very reliable. The IP world does not, and it can handle much more traffic. The tradeoff is that you can get congestion, and sometimes fail to reach certain websites, whereas your telephone call will never drop because of congestion. The IP world can almost do this, through a mechanism called loose source routing. This is how it started: each end node knew what hops it needed to take to reach its destination. Source-based routing doesn't scale, and introduces security problems. So we use dynamic routing protocols to figure out the paths for us. Take note that each direction can take a different path!
Routing protocols are broken up into a few different categories, in two senses. First, we have IGP, or Interior Gateway Protocols. RIP, OSPF, and ISIS are a few IGP's you may have heard about. These are routing protocols that deal with intra-domain routing. EGP, Exterior Gateway Protocols, deal with inter-domain routing, between enterprises. Now defunct, EGP was actually a protocol, but BGP is now the standard inter-domain protocol.
Second, routing protocols are said to be of two categories in another sense: link-state, or vector-distance. The vector-distance approach is: "tell your neighbors about the world." This means that you will broadcast your entire routing table, to all your neighbors. The "vector" is the destination, and the "distance" is really a metric, or hop count. Link-state routing protocols "tell the world about your neighbors." The idea is to figure out who is "up" and broadcast that information about their link's state to all other routers. Link-state is very computationally intensive, but it provides an entire view of the network to all routers.
Most people prefer link-state protocols because they converge faster, which means that all of the routers have the same information. Link-state calculations take a long time though, and happen every time we get an update, so they can't be used Internet-wide. We'll see why link-state eats CPU when we cover OSPF in the near future. Come back next week for our first routing protocol: RIP.

Producer Tool
What is a Scene Designer?
The Scene Designer is accessible in the Producer Tool of the presenter console. This designer allows you to choose from a library of pre-defined layouts. Define the structure and build the storyboard of your webcast by placing live and pre-defined sources into the scene.
When a layout is selected, the list of available sources added in the Presenter Console (e.g. presenters, studio feeds, pre-recorded video) will display on the left-hand side. You can drag and drop a source into its desired pod, on the right-hand side, or select which pod (A, B, C, etc.…) the source should reside in.
Additionally, you can enable "Auto Switch Active Speaker". This will display the person currently speaking in the most prominent pod in the scene.

The Speedy corkscrew is made from truly fine materials: special alloys of aluminum and stainless steel, all hand polished and enhanced by a special protective treatment to obtain many brilliant, age resistant colours.
The Speedy corkscrew is characterized by an off-centre pin mounted on a swivel in the main body and hinged to the bottle lever. The combined movement between the main body, bottle lever and worm allow the length of the lever arm to be adjusted from the start and end of the lifting movement, thereby alowing the cork to be gently lifted from the bottle in a single action. Moreover, Speedy had a pocket knife with a special ergonomic design that allows to extract it and put it back with one hand.
The Artis products are born from the Italian brand Trasmissioni Buzzolan's technology and the designer Giuseppe Todeschini, joined together to create every day objects with personality and uniqueness.


My name is Camie M. Anderson, and I'm a freelance artist based out of Spokane, WA. I travel around to various comic, anime and gaming conventions throughout the Pacific Northwest. I chose the name Picture Purrfect Art for my business because it shows my commitment to putting out only the highest quality items, while also showing off both my love of cats, and horrible puns! I've always loved to draw, but I didn't start seriously trying to improve my skills until I was 12 and I met one of my current best friends. He was writing these amazing stories and illustrating the characters in them, and he was a huge inspiration to me. I taught myself how to sew about five years ago because I wanted to make plushies of my favorite characters. I started selling my art at a local convention (KuroNekoCon, then called OtakuCon) back in 2009, and I had no idea what I was doing! I'd never been to a convention before, and the table cost me $10, I made $5, and spent $15 at the table next to me. It was rather discouraging, but I'm very stubborn and I kept selling at KuroNekoCon, and in 2012 I branched out selling at other conventions in the Pacific Northwest. I now make my living selling at conventions and online, and I absolutely love it. Knowing that I'm doing what I love to make money is great, but being able to make other people smile with something I made is the best feeling in the world.


A tank for bathing is one of those additions most people look forward to having in their properties. You can choose to install one indoors or outdoors. We see a lot of people going for an outdoor tank. It depends on the kind of space you have for the tank and your personal taste about this addition to your property. There are all kinds of tanks such as concrete swimming pools Melbourne. No matter what type of tank we finally select to have in our property, we are going to enjoy a couple of things if we choose the perfect tank for our use.
We should always keep in mind everything we add to our property is going to have an impact on the overall appearance of the property. For example, if we are thinking about having a summer house we have to always coordinate the colours of the summer house to go with the main building on the premises which is our house. If we make the right choices with the design and the colours of that outdoor space we are elevating the overall look for the property. The same rule applies to the tank we choose for our property for bathing purposes.
A property, especially a domestic one, should be comfortable for the people using it. Every addition we make to the property should consider this comfort level too. When we add the perfect Melbourne swimming pool to our property we are taking a step towards increasing that comfort level. It is an amazing experience to have. Who does not want to have a more comfortable home? The perfect tank is going to offer you the chance to relax and have a good time in your own property during hot summer days. There is no need for you to go to another place to enjoy bathing in a tank when you have such a place in your own property.
A good quality tank for bathing is always going to increase the value of your property. That is important to you. If by any chance you want to sell your property one day, the tank for bathing is going to allow you to sell the property at a higher price. It will also help in attracting buyers. You get to enjoy all this if you take measures to install the perfect tank for bathing in your property.

Are you asking why they do not use the last name or why they do not use personal pronouns? The title implies the former but the text the latter. – user458 Aug 5 '12 at 4:04
I suspect that this is related to the concept of Identity Formation – Flaw♦ Aug 5 '12 at 5:07
Here is a similar question: When is it appropriate to refer to yourself using your name, rather than 私 (or others)? – Jesse Good Aug 5 '12 at 7:50

@Chocolate That's exactly how she sounds. – Chris Aug 6 '12 at 5:08
@JesseGood's answer is correct, but just to add to it:
Not only will other people refer to kids by their name, they will often also refer to themselves by title when speaking to them. I.e. their mother/father will likely refer to themselves as "お母さん/お父さん" or "ママ/パパ" and their teacher to him/herself as "先生" when speaking to them. They might not hear personal pronouns much at all in their daily lives.
Thus, it's not surprising that kids learn that people have a label which is used independently from who is using it. Kids have to learn to use pronouns at all, which is quite different from the problem of learning to use I/you correctly, which seems to be common in languages where pronouns are more commonly used.

Also, it's common to call a young boy as "boku (僕)." In the end, he associates "boku" like his name with himself, and ends up saying it to mean "I". – Axioplase Aug 6 '12 at 6:23
@Axioplase Wow, is that really common? This is the first time I've heard it. What about girls then? – Chris Aug 16 '12 at 0:37
@Chris: yes, I think it's very common. For girls, I think you mostly use the child's name, or お嬢ちゃん (ojouchan). – Axioplase Aug 17 '12 at 8:49
According, to the wikipedia article for illeism:
Young children in Japan commonly refer to themselves by their own name (a habit probably picked from their elders who would normally refer to them by name, this is due to the normal Japanese way of speaking where referring to another in the third person is considered more polite rather than using the Japanese words for "you", like Omae[3]) though as the children grow older they normally switch over to using first person references. Japanese Idols also may refer to themselves as so to give off the feeling of childlike cuteness.
Which I think has some truth to it. In Japanese it is more common to refer to children by their name than other languages and also since young women also use it, there is a chance that the child may pick it up by seeing the usage from other people. Also, my own personal opinion is that Japanese is very complicated when it comes to first person and third person pronouns, and that is why children will use their names to avoid having to worry about it. Women generally will stop at an early age although some women might continue using it even up to there early thirties (although people around them might detest it). I think for men, you will only see the usage in very young children (preschool or earlier).
Also, I think it should be known that while English speaking countries find this usage very strange, it is common in other languages such as Thai also.

Games to Teach Children About Drugs & Alcohol
By Toby Jones
••• Brian McEntire/iStock/Getty Images
Instructing our children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol is one of the most important things we do. In the 1970s, districts waited until high school to teach drug and alcohol awareness. By the '80s and '90s, middle schools began to teach kids about drugs and alcohol in their classrooms, and now common practice dictates that we teach drug and alcohol awareness at the elementary level. Kids enjoy games, so it pays to have a good lineup of age-appropriate activities to help teach kids about drugs and alcohol.
Have students go to the blackboard and write their names and phone numbers on the board. Then have them spin around 10 times quickly and write the exact same thing. Let them compare the writing. Wrap up with a discussion about how these simulations mirror the effects of mind-altering substances.
Threading a Nut Onto a Bolt
Divide your class into even teams of four or five. Give each team a bolt and nut with the nut screwed all the way onto the bolt. Explain that each person must unscrew the bolt entirely and then re-screw it back on completely before passing it on to the next teammate. Also explain that you will be timing them. Obviously, the first team to finish the relay wins. Record each team's time. The second time through the exercise, explain that they must do the same thing, but this time wearing a pair of mittens. The mittens are to be passed from player to player along with the bolt and nut. Again record each team's time during the mitten round. Finally, the teams will need to do the same task but wearing dark sunglasses with the lights off. Again record their times. After the sunglasses round, have each team note their three times and share their observations. Wrap up with a discussion of how these various impairments mirror the effects of drugs and alcohol on us when we are performing important tasks like driving or operating machinery.
Guess Who's Coming to Lunch?
Invite a local police officer who is involved with the D.A.R.E. program to come to your classroom for lunch. Ask if he will come with a half-hour's worth of age appropriate games and activities designed to inform your students about drugs and alcohol.
There are many Internet sites with kids' games designed to help them better understand the facts about drugs and alcohol. Many such sites are sponsored by governments or national councils on alcohol and drug abuse. Most of these sites include games and activities for kids broken down by age levels.

I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Reject Overt and COVERT White Supremacy and is located at https://thewitnessbcc.com/reject-overt-covert-white-supremacy/.
|In Current Events, Theology, History, Christian Living, Identity
|By Jarvis Williams
Overt expressions of White Supremacy engulfed Charlottesville this past weekend. The evil, hatred, and violence incited by White Supremacists resulted in a death and injuries of brave image-bearers opposing such hatred. Many Christians have rightly spoken out against these overt acts of White Supremacy.
Those who willingly embrace a White Supremacist ideology might not necessarily be full-blown, sheet-wearing, cross-burning, violent, White Supremacists. But they could be respectable people in their communities. Christians must, therefore, also clearly and categorically reject covert expressions of White Supremacy and its residue when it appears in socially acceptable (and sanctified) ways in individuals and institutions.
White Supremacy, Race, and Privilege
We can't talk about White Supremacy and its residue in America or Christian spaces without talking about the construct of race and the privileges that emerge from it. As scholars of race have observed, "race is a biological fiction," but a "social fact." Racism is based on a "lie," but racism is "real." Race entered into the American narrative for the purpose of dehumanizing black people by establishing a racial hierarchy.
Sadly, many who identified with the Christian faith in this country historically used the bible to justify racism. They argued for the dehumanization of black people by saying slavery was a means by which they could preach the gospel to these so-called African heathen. However, even when slaves converted, their masters still dehumanized them, kept them as slaves, and treated them as animals because their black skin was not white.
White Supremacy is an evil ideology of hate rooted in the fictive construct of race. The racist residue of the construct of race and White Supremacy is on every American conscience, and impacts every American structure. White Supremacy's residue continues to normalize whiteness and marginalize ethnic and racial minorities, and whites who stand in solidarity with them, in socially acceptable ways.
An example of covert White Supremacy is the way educational curriculum at various levels has historically prioritized European and white history and ignored black and brown contributions to the American experience. Covert White Supremacy is also present in the multi-faceted expressions of white privilege.
As Peggy McIntosh (a white woman) has shown in her insightful article (White Privilege: Unpacking The Invisible Knapsack), white privilege suggests white people generally have many advantages, of which they're not even aware and for which they've done nothing to earn, solely because of their whiteness.
One example of white privilege is that White Supremacy determined that the role of blacks would be to serve whites because of the belief in white superiority. Then, White Supremacists created a whole system that marginalized black people and kept them at the very bottom of the social order. This system ensured that many whites and subsequent generations of many whites would have economic, political, and educational access unavailable for many non-white people.
To clarify, by white privilege, I don't suggest all privileges that white people generally receive are entirely unmerited. I neither suggest all disadvantages experienced by minorities are because of racism. I affirm personal responsibility. There are white people with privileges who've worked hard to obtain certain opportunities.
Still, whiteness has historically and generally afforded privileges and advantages to many whites because of White Supremacy's residue in this country. As my co-editor, black and white contributors, and I recently argued in our book on racism, White Supremacy has left a dark stain on every aspect of American life, even (and maybe especially) on Christian spaces. Christians cannot seriously talk about race, racism, or pursue Christ-centered reconciliation in this country and Christian spaces without having a serious conversation about the privileging of whiteness or without working to leverage the privilege(s) of whiteness in Christian spaces.
As a Christian, I STRONGLY believe sin (both individual sin and the power of sin) is the root cause of White Supremacy in the American narrative and in Christian spaces. I further believe sin used race and White Supremacy to establish a racial hierarchy that produced slavery, Jim Crow laws, and many other expressions of overt and covert personal and systemic racism — conscious and unconscious, intentional and unintentional racism in our country and in Christian spaces.
While many Christians rightly condemn overt expressions of White Supremacy, covert expressions of White Supremacy are often allowed to flourish in Christian spaces and in society at large because they are either denied or unnoticed.
Christian outrage about and condemnation of overt White Supremacy is great! But if the Christian message of reconciliation in Christ and Christian unity is to be taken seriously by those who hear us and watch us in the church and in society, we must consistently speak and work against the overt and covert residue of White Supremacy and racism. Let's do this in the church and in society with Spirit-empowered love and with the gospel of the crucified, resurrected, and exalted Jesus Christ.

Where can I find resources that can show the white privilege and racism in the school systems in America? And how can I as a white man help make a difference in the school system to destroy racism in that curriculum? Thanks

I will not endorse your perversion of democracy.
I will not condone your party's defaming of my country.
I will tell you anyhow.

This is a rough, stone lump the size of a coconut.
Dull and heavy isn't it?
This inert thing is a dinosaur coprolite.
all over the doomed Cretaceous plains.
if smelly beast, neither are you its once putrid dung.
which produced this huge, fossilised turd.
Labels: comment, I don't write much poetry but..
Word of the Day; Coprolite.
My word of the whole month really. Apply to whichever politician you want, there are plenty of deserving choices.
Its meaning - fossilised turd.
I do get perturbed by certain words, but I get far more perturbed when people use words which they don't seem to know the meaning of. The word 'decimate' doesn't mean to destroy or to devastate, it means to reduce by one in ten. Please tell the TV news journalists - all of them.
Before anyone starts, let me just say yes, I agree that the English language changes, of course it does. And online dictionaries are starting to say that decimate means to devastate or to destroy. I just want to know what's wrong with the words devastate and destroy? Their meanings are not quite the same so to use one or other of those would be more precise, but decimate has become a favourite word in the news media, where precision is seldom their objective. A punishment for a rebellion in the Roman army was to decimate, literally to kill one in ten of the soldiers.
Wikipedia, yes I know. But is that any less likely to be correct on this particular issue that any other encyclopedia or dictionary? Every academic/expert writing entries in any of those had a position they wished to take, how does that differ from the enthusiasts who contribute to Wikipedia? I haven't the enthusiasm to delve deep into the original history of the Roman military.
Anyhow I can't read Latin.
A great story, very well written and increasingly tense and unpredictable, one of Barbara Vine's darkest creations. A feeling of impending catastrophe grows as the story's convolutions wind and wander.
There are a dozen or so characters, all misfits in their own way, but who is the protagonist, the main character? Is it Jarvis, the obsessive railway enthusiast who is writing a history of the London Underground? Is it the poor little rich girl who goes on the tube for the first time in her life and loses her wedding dress? Is it Alice, a talented violinist, fleeing her loveless marriage to Mike? Or maybe it's young Jasper who's careless mother Tina lets him skive off school and ride the underground with his friends? Or Jed, who owns a demented hawk, or Tom the busker with delusions of grandeur, or Axel the dangerous stranger who has a dancing bear. Maybe it's Jasper's grandmother Cecelia, who is in love with her best friend.
Some of these people are more unhinged than others. They and others live in or visit a ramshackle former school where a former headmaster had hanged himself with the bell-rope. By the end of the story his is not the only death.
The main character is actually the London Underground, a surface section of which the garden of the old school backs onto. The presence of the tube permeates the entire novel, the people are all bit players by comparison, their stories depend on it.
Set in around 1980, the book seems somehow old fashioned for that era, the writing style and characters don't feel quite modern enough. But then it was published in 1990 and the author was born in 1930, so it's not so surprising. The faint scent of quaintness doesn't detract from the obsessive grip the story has on its characters, or the reader.
Doldrums - technically an area of the ocean where sailing vessels could become stuck for lack of wind.
More recently - being stuck with nowhere to go and no idea how to get anywhere anyhow. Remind you of something?
I knew I'd read a lot of thrillers in my teens and I knew I'd read at least one Lee Child novel in the past but couldn't for the life of me remember which. Bad Luck and Trouble fell into my hands from a shelf of books for commuters to share and/or replace at the small train station near my home.
I approve of this trend to put shelves of books in public places. I nearly didn't choose the Lee Child book because it's a thick paperback, but the only other book I felt like reading at the time was a heavy hardback which I really didn't feel like carrying around all day. It seemed a bit random, does anybody else decide what to read based on the weight of the book?
Anyway I picked up Bad Luck and Trouble and read it on the train to London.
In London I went to see Macbeth at the Globe theatre - a play in the Globe's indoor auditorium which is without electric lighting. Macbeth, by candlelit, was completely gripping, grim and dramatic.
On the way home I read some more of the book and finished it the next day. Bad Luck and Trouble is also completely gripping, grim and dramatic. And incredibly well written, the author's skill is mesmerising, drags you along even when you don't want to go. I easily finished the 500+ pages in 36 hours despite the Macbeth distraction.

Q: Two folders in my Path environment variable that each contain EXE with same name, which one will run? Let's say I have two folders listed in my Path environment variable like so:
"C:\FolderA; C:\FolderB"
And within each of those folders, I have a program named "testprog.exe". When I open a command window and type "testprog.exe". Which one will be run? What if testprog.exe in FolderB is a later version of the testprog.exe in FolderA? Does the system care? Is it indeterminate which one will run? What happens?
Thanks,
-Robert

A: The one in FolderA will be run.
The path is evaluated in the order it is listed, with the current folder preceding it.
Windows doesn't care about the version of the application.
