The First Tattoo Museum in The World
November 20, 2019 by J Wu
Maybe you don't know much about the first tattoo museum where we can find the old tattoo supply. But you may be familiar with Yoshihito Nakano, known as Horiyoshi III. As a traditional Japanese Irezumi tattoo ambassador, in the early 1980s, he conducted extensive cultural and artistic exchanges with the West, demonstrating his outstanding technique and artistic accomplishments, and was widely acclaimed. In the traditional Japanese irezumi, his technique reached an amazing level. He is also the owner of the world's first tattoo museum.
The Tattoo Museum in Yokohama was established in September 1999, and Mayumi Nakano (Horiyoshi III's wife) runs it. All the works on display are from his personal collections, including 12 pieces of tattoos, which donated by volunteers. They are traditional Japanese tattoo equipment in the past several centuries, and many of them are original works done by famous tattoo artists from all over the world. Such as Ed Hardy, Leu family, Mick Tattoo, Luke Atkinson, Hanky Panky, Lal Hardy, George Bone and so on.
His private collections are filled with information about culture, customs, history and current skin art around the world. There are hundreds of exhibits in the museum, and the museum is currently published on overseas travel guides.
You can see some rare clothes and decorations, tebories, color powders, handkerchiefs and real cockroaches from Polynesia, as well as some original books and paintings from the Edo period. These are Yoshihito Nakano's collections, witnessing the early tattoos played an important role in Japanese culture.
The museum also sells a lot of great things and works of art from the masters.
Although this small museum is not easy to find, it is worth a visit because of its authenticity and interesting items on display; here you can see the development and history of tattoo culture. I have been to many mainstream museums with white walls and strict rules, but it is very different. If you are interested in tattoo culture and happen to be in the Yokohama area, you should challenge it, because it has a lot of historical information about Japanese tattoo scenes.

The Past and Present of Old School Tattoo
Old school tattoo (also written as "Old skool tattoo") is a western or traditional American tattoo style. Its characteristics are very clear: the patterns are bright colors (mostly red, yellow, green, blue) and black outlines. There are few or no shadows. In that time, the tattoo supply used to tattoo was not as good as the one we use today.
In the early years, American traditional tattoo carriers were mainly sailors. After the end of the American War of Independence, American sailors formed a tattoo culture. There are several reasons: One of the main reasons is to ensure that there are clearly distinguishing marks on their bodies. At that time, maritime conflicts continued, and if they were captured and could not prove their identity, they would be recognized as pirates. In order to avoid this, they can prove that they are the person they claim by a specific tattoo. In addition, as a kind of "Medal of Honor", sailors got tattoos in foreign voyages to the countries with rich tattoo cultures, such as Japan and the Pacific Islands; so they can prove that they had been there.
This is "Sailor Jerry" Collins, the father of the old school who joined the US Navy in his early years and mastered the tattoo art during his trip to Polynesia. Later, after he retired, he moved to the Hawaiian dock, where he opened a tattoo shop and it soon became the favorite destination for sailors passing by the waters.
For a while, tattoos were still not in the mainstream culture of the United States. The main carriers are speeding parties, soldiers, gang members, and circus geeks. Body art has not yet been accepted.
After the 1970s, this situation quickly began to change. With the rise of punk and cultural movements, Americans' attitudes toward tattoos began to change rapidly. The tattoos were becoming more and more popular, and the serious negative reviews had disappeared. However, the tattoo did not become mainstream until 2000.
In 1991, 21% of Americans had tattoos. After 14 years, this number reached 40%. The tattoos are no longer associated with a particular subculture or social marginality, instead, they became a trend culture. As a result, the demands for tattoos and artists has increased dramatically. In the past 20 years, the number of tattooed Americans has grown faster than any other period in American history. The material was also far beyond the sailor tattoo elements, and many American tattoo artists got inspiration from Japanese and tribal tattoo cultures. New styles and techniques appeared, and styles such as Dot work, watercolor, black and gray, and realism have emerged.
The traditional American tattoo is still very popular and is also a mainstream style. The new school tattoo, which combines the old school's old-fashioned flash art style with new technology and improved quality, is also very popular. American tattoos may be much later than many other tattoo cultures, but the old school pattern will not be outdated at any time.
15 Kinds of Tibetan Tattoo Styles and Meanings
In the rich and splendid Tibetan cultural heritage, the spread of religious civilization is vast and has a profound and far-reaching impact on the formation and development of Tibetan culture. Tibetan tattoos are not only physical but also spiritual. Not only beautiful but also rich in content, Tibetan tattoos are not only related to Tibetan Buddhism but also reflect all aspects of Tibetan culture. I want to share 15 kinds of Tibetan tattoo materials and meanings.
Lotus: It is one of the most common Buddhist art tattoos, symbolizing the quality of the sludge, the purity, and the fruit. Tibetan Buddhism believes that the lotus symbolizes the ultimate goal, that is, to cultivate a positive result.
Tibetan: Tibetan grammar is based on Sanskrit grammar. Tibetan letters are based on Sanskrit. Sanskrit and Hindi also use this text, which is similar to Sanskrit.
3-phrase mantras : (Zen) Buddhism, eliminating suffering and punishment. Tibetan Buddhism regards these 3-phrase mantras as all roots and circulates and chanting, that is, it can eliminate disasters and achieve good morality.
Acalanatha: Acalanatha is the first of the Eight Bodhisattva in Buddhism. It has the meaning of being able to remove obstacles when encountering any difficulties. Acalanatha looks angry so that the evil spirits that invade human beings are feared and far away so that all human beings keep being good men in their life.
Mandala: It is the center of the Buddhist tradition's cultivation energy. Camellia is also known as the Mandala flower. It is a lucky flower in Buddhism. According to legend, when the Buddha publicized Buddhism, he carried mandala flower, and it rained mandala flower, symbolizing peace and tranquility, good luck.
Kapala: Tibet's kapala, the instrument of Tibetan Buddhism, shows the shortness and impermanence of life. It also shows that the practitioner has stopped attachment to the body. The attachment to the body connects people to the pain and troubles of the world. It is given the meaning of keeping peace and auspiciousness.
Kila: It is a common instrument in the Tibetan area, also known as Phurba. Small ones are often used as carry-on amulets, can eliminate all their sin.
Tibetan auspicious knot: The cross line in the eternal knot symbolizes how everything is connected. It can also represent how fairs and wisdom between religious and secular are connected.
The Dharma Chakra is one of the most important symbols of Buddhism, and it essentially represents the endlessness of reincarnation or rebirth.
White Conch: The Sutra was publicized to the world by Sakyamuni, like the sound of the conch. Therefore, the Conch is often blown at Buddhism Conferences. In Tibet, the right-handed white conch is the most respected and is regarded as a symbol of the world, because they believe its voice can arrive a faraway place, which also symbolizes the resounding voice of Bodhidharma.
Victory Building: Tibetan Buddhism uses its metaphor for eleven kinds of troubles to govern, namely, quit, set, wisdom, liberation, great sorrow, emptiness, incompetence, convenience, selflessness, understanding, prejudice, a blessing by Buddha and heart is quiet.
Aquarius: It means that the luck is perfect, there is no loophole, it is a symbol of success.
Survana matsay: Fish in the water, smooth and unimpeded. Buddhism uses its metaphor to describe practitioners who transcend the world and are free and open-minded. In Tibetan Buddhism, the male and female goldfish symbolize the liberation and symbolizes recovery, eternal life, regeneration and so on.
Mahakala: Mahakala is the chief protection of Tibetan Buddhism. It is a combination of fighting gods, kitchen gods, grave gods, and luck gods.
Tara: Tara, Tibetan is called "Zhuoma", Chinese translation "Save Buddha", "Duoluo Bodhisattva". Doro means "eyes" in Sanskrit, because it originated from the eyes of the Great Goddess of Mercy Bodhisattva, and because the Tara is the devotional rescuer of the Guanyin Bodhisattva incarnation, relieves the difficulties, and sends the difficulties to the other shore, so the name of salvation.
Tibetan tattoos are a wonderfully artistic way of expressing the spirit of the wearer. Even those who are not Buddhists cannot miss the powerful nature of symbolism. The variety of symbols, the deep meaning behind them, and the never-ending stories they can combine make Tibetan tattoos a beautiful and powerful form for body art.

Tragedy Caused by Black Henna Tattoos
If you want tattoo by yourselves,need to to prepare a complete tattoo supply. This will cost you a lot of time and money. There is no doubt that the tattoo on the skin will be painful. Many people are afraid to tattoo because they are afraid of pain. It seems that a temporary tattoo, such as tattoo stickers or simulation tattoos, is a good choice for the people who want to get a tattoo but fear pain and regret.
Henna tattoos become new favorite for many tattoo lovers since there is no needles no pain when people get them.
A Henna tattoo is a kind of body painting, and a sort of old body decoration art. It is very popular in Southeast Asia, Middle East and North Africa.
The material for hand painting is from a certain shrub named Henna. People pick off its leaves and break them down,then leaves release a pigment called lawsone. This dye is an important material for hand painters.
To be serious, it is different from common tattoos. It is painted on skin as a decoration, rather than pierced. Generally, it can last for several days or a few of weeks.
The story for today is about this kind of tattoo.
Unfortunately, the hero regrets getting henna tattoos forever.
The couple in this picture are from United Kingdom. The husband, Martin Gulliver, 50-year-old, is a Royal Mail manager. His wife, Sylvia, is 43-year-old.
They have one son and one daughter.
The son is older, 9-year-old. The daughter is 7-year-old.
The family lived a happy life.They love their children ardently.
The family decided to go on holiday in Egypt in summer.
At first, the journey was great.
But Sylvia went to the hospital with a gall bladder infection at the second week. Luckily, she recovered soon.
The children were well behaved when their mother was in hospital.
Martin was gratified and decided to reward them.
As I said at the beginning, even though henna tattoos are new to us, they has existed for more than 1000 years. You can see them everywhere in Egypt. The two children had been attracted by this art since they came there. And they told Martin many times that they wanted ones.
Martin considered it. He thought henna tattoos were not permanent and the skin art was kind of blessing, so he agreed them to get henna tattoos. Maybe the tattoos can also be a good sign for the family.
There was a salon that offered henna tattoos at the four-star hotel where they lived in.
The two children who were under 10 had their first tattoos, black henna tattoos.
The arm on right was Madison's
However, Sebastian regretted it soon. He said the tattoo was itchy and cleaned it.
As for Madison, she didn't feel any uncomfortable. She were it until the holiday was over.
However, shortly after returning home, it was starting to get bad on 25th, July.
At first, the skin under her tattoo was itchy and started to bubble. They washed it right away.
At that time, Martin begun to find more information about black henna tattoos online.
However, what he saw was all the disturbing truth...
He found henna tattoos should be red-brown. The reason why Madison's tattoo was black was that the material contained a chemical dye.
This chemical ingredient is called paraphenylenediamine (PPD), which is usually used in permanent hair dye.
Tattoo paste will cause allergic contact dermatitis once it contains PPD at high level (over 2.5%). And its sensitization has a major impact on children's health, the consequences are unimaginable.
The couple took Madison to hospital right away. At first, doctors gave them steroid cream to treat the tattoo area. But her condition didn't become better, blisters started to form on Madison's fingers. She was quickly sent to the emergency room.
Doctors in a general hospital gave them several different creams and ointments, but non of them worked.
Martin started to panic and took her to burn's specialists Salisbury District Hospital.
Outside the clinic,the couple became more and more restless.
Martin said: 'We started to panic. They had never seen it before, and each time we went in they were trying different things but it was getting worse and worse.'
Luckily, experts knew how to deal with Madison's condition after they diagnosed her illness.
In order to curing her burning sensation better, doctors carried out a test on the liquid seeping from the blisters on Madison's skin.
After dealing with these blisters, Madison was referred to a scar management unit and has to wear a pressure bandage for at least six months to minimise the scars covering her arm.
"Because of this black Henna tattoo, my daughter is likely to leave a permanent trauma." Martin repented.
In an interview, Martin said that he felt guilty seeing the young daughter suffering such pain.
If he had refused their request, this tragedy wouldn't have happened.
'We were entirely unaware of the dangers and I think they should warn of this in the brochures.It is dangerous to use chemicals on children. We share our painful experience, because we don't want to have such horrible reactions to anybody in the future again.
The hotel in Hurghada sent the family an apology letter. They said they no longer offered the tattoos in salon when they what happened to Madison.
The experience of the Martin family has caused widespread concern in the UK.
In just one week, it is not the first case of adverse reactions caused by henna tattoos, like Madison.
Just earlier this week, a 7-year-old boy named Theo Luckett also suffered fatal allergic reactions because he also got a henna tattoo when he took on a holiday in Bulgaria.
In response to two cases in the week, the National Health Service warns:
these 'black henna' tattoos can contain high levels of toxic chemical dye, which is normally illegal to use on the skin.
In an interview,many exports said everyone who wants to try black henna tattoos should be cautious about the dangers of PPD being abused.
A doctor said: 'PPD is safely and legally used in permanent hair dyes where clear instructions are given, and where the maximum level is controlled by law. But black henna often contains PPD at high levels, to give a dark colour quickly.
Apart from the chemical burn and possible scarring in reaction to a black henna tattoo, there is a real risk of becoming sensitised to PPD.
As we said, PPD can lead to allergic contact dermatitis when its level is 2.5%.
In a word, PPD is not that harmful itself. But if you have tried black henna tattoos and touch PPD again, there may be a serious allergic reaction.
The consequence may be worse....
A British woman Julie McCabe died in 2012 because of hair dye which led a serious allergic reaction.
At that time, Julie's family are puzzled by her death, since it is not her first time to use that hair dye.
Later, according to the police investigation report, they discovered that she had had a black henna tattoo abroad 5 years earlier.
Since then, every time she used hair dye, she suffered different allergic reaction, such as itching and rashes. Tragically, she was not aware of that in time. She died the last time she used her hair dye.
Remember that real henna paste is red-brown and is made from natural plant.
If you are offered a black henna tattoo, it isn't actually true henna. Please be vigilant.

Is Your Tattoo Infected? 14 Signs of Infection
It is necessary to use clean and tattoo supplies when tattooing. This is a prerequisite for ensuring that it is not susceptible to infection. A good tattoo also needs attention to the tattoo aftercare. In some cases you may still be infected for a variety of reasons, and the infected tattoo will have some common symptoms. Often, some of these symptoms may also be that it is healing. However, the more symptoms that occur at the same time, the higher the chance of infection.
1. Continuous Extreme Pain
In general, all new tattoos will have a certain degree of pain in the first few days. The larger the tattoo, the longer the surface pain usually. But if the tattoo is still very painful after 7-10 days, then it may be a sign of infection.
2. Rash
The rash may have different shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. Although many rashes are only red and smooth, many rashes can be uneven.
3. The tattoo area is extremely redness
Almost all new tattoos will become inflamed for a few days, but if the tattoo still becomes redder after 5-7 days, it may mean that the infection has begun.
4. The tattoo area surface become hot
Due to the body's natural healing response to the tattoo, most of the blood flow to the area naturally increases the local temperature. However, if the tattoo area still get hot after a week, this may be a sign of possible infection.
5. Itching
Almost all new tattoos will have itching during the recovery phase, but if your itching is not disappeared after a week and becomes more extreme, it may be a sign of infection.
6. Swelling
The swelling of the new tattoo is very common, especially for tattoos located below the waist, the swelling will be more obvious. If the swelling spreads from the tattoo area and does not decrease within 7-10 days, this may be caused by an infection.
7. Extremely/Unusual Scabbing
Tattoo scab is completely normal during tattoo healing. However, if the entire tattoo becomes full of crusty, thick, itchy scabs and begin to ooze and bleed, then this may be a sign of infection.
8. Blister
Blisters are not a common side-effect of getting a tattoo and therefore any blistering on the skin around the tattooed area should be seen as suspicious and potentially the result of an infection and should be treated.
9. Pimples or Ooze Pus
Pimples can be common on a new tattoo and are generally not a problem, however if you develop pimples that begin to ooze and pus, or more serious then an infection is likely. Depending on the type of infection, the pus can be clear, fluid, or thick. If this happens to you in the first three days - it is likely to be completely normal.
10. Foul Odor
If the exudation in the tattoo is accompanied by an odor, it usually indicates an infection has occurred.
11. Red Streaking
If a long red lines appear that looks like they're streaking away from your tattoo, you should seek medical attention immediately. This is a serious sign of infection.
12. Swollen lymph nodes
There are some small nodules around the body called lymph nodes that help to filter out impurities in the blood. If an infection is present, the lymph nodes closest to the infection usually begin to swell.
13. High Temperature, Fever, Extreme Tiredness
In general, all infections have symptoms that increase core body temperature and cause drowsiness and extreme fatigue.
14. Increased Heart Rate and Increased Breathing
If the symptoms also include increased heart rate, increased breathing and confusion, seek medical attention immediately as these may be serious infections.
NOTE: The infection may have only one of the above symptoms, or multiple symptoms may occur at the same time. The more appeared, the higher the chance of infection. Keep in touch with the tattooist at any time, he will give you relevant professional advice based on experience! Do not blindly treat by yourself.
From Punishment to Reception: The History of French Tattoos
Millions of people from different borders, classes and culture have modified their bodies with ink. Although many people are fascinated by the aesthetic value of tattoos, few people are interested in the ups and downs of the history of tattoo development. The French tattoo history is a colorful classic case that shows how attitudes to tattoos have changed over the centuries.
Since the 16th century, French voyagers have seen a variety of body art from the South Pacific to the Americas. In the eyes of some French observers, these people are "original" outsiders "civilizations" and their tattoos were just tribal cultures. Others, especially sailor tattoos, were inspired by their journey. By the turn of the 19th century, "tattoos" had a common name in Europe, such as tatouages, Tatowiren or tattoos.
In the 19th century in France, the authorities began to use tattoos to mark a different "marginal person": the criminal. In 1832, the French criminals ended the era of marking criminals with a soldering iron and instead used tattoo marks to identify them.
Tattoos are visual markers for criminals to succumb to legal authority. But this is also a violation of human rights. In Christian religious culture, as Jane Kaplan pointed out, body markings are regarded as evidence of paganism. When the needle penetrates the prisoner's skin, it symbolically takes away the sanctity of their body. The soldering iron punishes the body, but the tattoo punishes the soul.
However, when prisoners were tattooed, they have tattoos and even developed more aesthetic designs. The popularity of male tattoos in French criminal colonies and military prisons make them become another group symbol in the late 19th century.
In a photographic article, Jerome Pieirat and Eric Guillaume show how tattooing can be a compelling means of rebellious society, from the French underworld of the Virgin Mary. For some people, the "bad boy" of these tattoos has a certain exoticism, the tattoo of the Edith Piaf or the popularity of Papillon, a fantasy "memoir" of the former criminal Henri Charrière published in 1969. In this book, the protagonist's nickname comes from the butterfly - Papillon - tattoo on the chest: when he tries to escape from prison, this was a symbol of hope and freedom.
Since then, individuals and groups have continued to choose needles and inks as tools to litigate to the courts while expressing themselves with art.
Tattoo as a symbol of the group
The late development of tattoos is an art of group symbolism. People use tattoos to build circles, from military groups, brotherhoods to locomotive parties. Tattoos convey something about the "edge" between yourself and the rest of the world. For some people, they are associated with mystery and darkness in the heart.
In view of the recent semitone program in English-speaking countries, this is a typical representative, and the semicolon tattoos have become a symbol of unity and encouragement with people suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts. Some commentators believe that the campaign is a short-lived trend and that dissemination through the hashtag has little effect on promoting the autonomy involved. But it seems to be.
The project semicolon has been popular with Twitter users, but it is not hype. Like many of their tattoo predecessors, what the participants take may be initially marked as "support " status, as well as a self-selected "LOGO" and collective hope statement.
As the French case shows, tattoos are firmly engraved in the history of modern culture. Nowadays, tattoos have become an accepted art act, and even shine in public welfare, becoming a fashion trend culture that transcends subculture.

also known as The Wedding
La boda1964
Directed by Lucas Demare
Luciano, twice her age, wants desperately to marry Iluminades, one of the village's beautiful young available daughters. They call him the "Black Man," the "Outsider," and most of the town does not want the wedding to take place. A very rich man, Luciano made his money as a black slave trader but still manages to win over Iluminades' mother and father and some of the village's people with his money. Pasqualon and his comrades are so angry that they contact Pasqualon's brother Pepe and Iluminades' ex-boyfriend to try and stop the wedding. Although the ceremony perseveres, the posse will stop at nothing to see that the marriage is terminated. The steadfast allegiance attitude of the compadres spirals to a tragic twisted ending.
5 members like this review
This is one of those films that has your stomach in knots, as from the beginning, it is clear that impending tragedy is on the way.
In patriarchal Argentina, a rich former slave trader, Luciano,asks the father of the village beauty for her hand. Although the father is aware of the problems that will be caused by an "outsider" wedding his daughter, he cannot refuse Luciano's offer of money. The obedient daughter agrees to the marriage--but she is attracted to the man, not the money. The brother of her former boyfriend does not intend to let the wedding go smoothely. This is clear from the outset. A very well done film that will grip you to the end.

Eden by Jamie Lisa Forbes

My Review of Eden by Jamie Lisa Forbes
The Widow Smalls was the first book I read written by Jamie Lisa Forbes. You can read my review here. Eden is a story about a younger boy in the 1950s who loses his Dad at an important time in his life. You will enjoy Jamie's flawless writing as her story puts you right into the story like you are sitting right there.
As you flip each page you will keep wanting to continue reading until you are at the end. Each time I had to stop reading I kept wondering what was going on with Rowen. What would happen next? In order for you to know you will have to get a copy of your own.
If you have Kindle Unlimited it is currently 'free to add to your library'. If you want to read the Kindle version that is available here. Or you can choose to get the paperback which you can purchase here.
Excerpt from Eden
Sawyer's house was the oldest in the neighborhood with towering yellow pines shading the yard. The house itself was a palace compared to the neighbors'—two stories high and whitewashed, not a smear of mold anywhere. Fresh-painted white rockers lined the front porch.
Behind the house, he crossed the footbridge over a ditch where insects swarmed in shrinking puddles of muddy water, and then rows and rows of chest-high leafy tobacco stalks pressed all around, nearly squeezing him to suffocation.
He pushed through into a row, and down at the end, he could see a mule's ears twitch. He followed them and there was old man Sawyer on the skidder.
Sawyer addressed the mule. "Well, Hester Prynne, Mr. Hart has blessed us with his presence." He turned to Rowen. "I 'spose you're going to tell me you been layin' in bed sick."
"No, sir. I went to watch Franklin White's trial in town. Sorry I didn't say nothin'."
Hester Prynne squirted a river of piss. In the mule's eyes, he saw spoiled little city boy.
"I'd have thought a boy whose daddy shamed him by stiffin' his bill collectors and then killin' hisself, leavin' that boy and his mama as begging paupers, would be more. . ." He glanced at Hester Prynne, as if she was going to finish the sentence, ". . . obliging."
The stench of piss filled the air. Flies bit his ears.
"Yes, sir, Mr. Sawyer, you're right. I'm grateful for the work, and I didn't mean any disrespect."
Sawyer nodded off to where the colored boy, Sammy, whisked leaves off the plants. "That boy there's worth two of you. He doesn't find the excitement in town to be so distracting."
"I understand, Mr. Sawyer, and I won't either no more."
Rowen snatched a sack off the skidder and started on the row next to Sammy's. He hadn't known Sammy until he started working here. If Sammy had gone to school at all, he would have been in the colored school. Sammy was his own age, but towered over him, with legs and arms moving so fast it seemed the leaves jumped off the plants.
As they met along the row, Sammy said, "You new here, boy? Don't believe I know you."
"Cut it out, I already took it from Sawyer. I was at Franklin White's trial. You shoulda been there. The rest of the town was there."
Sammy squatted to pluck some lugs and peered up at him through the leaves. "Weren't any Negroes there, right?"
"No, but the bank vice-president's on trial. I bet there are Negroes that owe him money, too. He could go to jail for the rest of his life. Or maybe even get the death penalty."
Sammy laughed as he scooted on past Rowen. "Boy goin' to the U-nee-ver-sity, but how he gonna succeed when he's so weak in mind?" Rowen straightened to make a comeback, but Sammy kept on moving and now he was at a distance where Rowen would have to shout a response.
Adeline. That's who would have trumpeted the news about his university admission.
When the letter came a month ago, his mama and Adeline had whooped like guinea hens. Now he'd be a university student like Adeline's daughter, Chloe, who'd taken off for Howard University just last fall! They didn't bother to consider for a moment that he wasn't anything like Chloe. Chloe could have had the face of the Queen of Sheba for all anyone knew, because her nose had never been out of her books. The times she'd come over with Adeline and sat at the kitchen table, she'd never been able to tear herself out of a page for more than an instant to say "Hey, Rowen," while all he had to do was crack open World History, or whatever fool tome that he'd had to lug home, and his mind shot straight out the window, daydreaming about that shiny Skylark down at the Buick lot that he'd be able to put a down payment on one day if he could just get out of school and start his real life, whatever it would be. He couldn't fathom what he might be doing but he was dang sure he would have money.
Without so much as asking him, his mama had sat up in her bed long enough to reply that, yes, he'd be attending the University of North Carolina. Back last fall he'd applied because that's what his parents had told him to do. That's what his daddy told him to do, the daddy who, it turned out, had steeped them all in a life of lies. Rowen hadn't defied him at the time. He had thought that it wasn't a matter of choice. For as long as he had lived, it was White Rock's tradition for the children of the prosperous to be packed off to the university, some never to return and some to come home and be set up on pedestals.
Why should Adeline and his mama get to decree his fate now? Never mind where the money was going to come from. As miserable as things were, he had no urge to start from scratch among a throng he didn't know, just to attain some higher life too foggy to imagine. What was the hocus-pocus by which a boy turned into a man? Far as he could tell, it didn't have anything to do with how many degrees he got. All he'd ever be was the boy whose daddy picked suicide over bankruptcy. Hadn't Sawyer said as much?
Yes, all right, he was living in a shack, but outside on that front porch, he could see a person coming from a mile off and know, white or colored, who they were and what they wanted. Everything within his range of vision was known, and if he had to be busted poor, he wanted life to stay right like it was where he could see everything coming.

Description of Eden by Jamie Lisa Forbes
Rowen Hart has been raised as the pampered son and only child of a prominent family in the small community of White Rock, North Carolina. It's the 1950s and he's drifting through the days, following the life path his parents have planned for him and preparing to go away to college. When his father's suicide turns his world upside down, he finds himself responsible for his mother in their suddenly reduced circumstances that leave them dependent on his uncle, his father's business partner.
Ill prepared to take over as head of the family, Rowen doesn't know which way to turn. Then a neighbor's ten year old daughter comes to live with them, baffling him with her wild behavior and never ending attempts to win his approval and making his new responsibilities even more overwhelming.
As Rowen tries to find his way, he begins to question everything about his upbringing, his current circumstances and his plans for the future as they turn to dust in his hands.

Q: log4j in Netbeans doesn't works in installed application I'm using log4j from the netbeans ide correctly. Now that I'm testing logging from the installed application, anything works.
In the project I have a wrapper module WrapperLog4j (com.aws.log4j) where I put in the log4j wrapped jar file, and the log4j.xml config file in com.aws.log4j package.
In addition, I have an app.conf file to define jdkhome, jvm option, userdir, etc....
The default_userdir="${HOME}/AwsSuite" has setted right, and has the
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\AwsSuite value when I execute the installed application.
In the log4j.xml, for the file appender has the value:

All this is working fine when I execute the application from the IDE. In the ProjectFolder/build/testuserdir/var/log is the file awssuite.log required for logging.
I try to changing ${netbeans.user} for ${user.home}, defining new jvm variable in -J-DMyVariable=${HOME}/AwsSuite for use it in log4j.xml as ${MyVariable} in the appender file parameter, but nothing.
Any suggestions?
Any help is appreciated.

Q: gRPC Java Client - hasNext during onNext? I have a server-side streaming gRPC service that may have messages coming in very rapidly.  A nice to have client feature would be to know there are more updates already queued by the time this onNext execution is ready to display in the UI, as I would simply display the next one instead.
    StreamObserver< Info > streamObserver = new StreamObserver< info >( )
    {

        @Override
        public void onNext( Info info )
        {
              doStuffForALittleWhile();
              if( !someHasNextFunction() )
                   render();
        }
    }

Is there some has next function or method of detection I'm unaware of?

A: There's no API to determine if additional messages have been received, but not yet delivered to the application.
The client-side stub API (e.g., StreamObserver) is implemented using the more advanced ClientCall/ClientCall.Listener API. It does not provide any received-but-not-delivered hint.
Internally, gRPC processes messages lazily. gRPC waits until the application is ready for more messages (typically by returning from StreamObserver.onNext()) to try to decode another message. If it decodes another message then it will immediately begin delivering that message.

A: One way would be to have a small, buffer with messages from onNext.  That would let you should the current message, and then check to see if another has arrived in the mean time.

Square's Cash App surpasses Venmo for the first time
five × five =
Briony Richter August 15, 2018
By Briony Richter August 15, 2018
Square's Cash app has steadily started passing PayPal's' Venmo in terms of app downloads while pushing further into cryptocurrency.
The company's push into the cryptocurrency market has led to a significant increase in downloads for the Cash App.
The total number of downloads for the Cash App is now at 33.5 million. That exceeds Venmos' 32.9 million for the first time, according to data from Sensor Tower and Nomura.
Nomura Instinet analyst, Dan Dolev has been chronicling the increase in downloads for months. Over the course of just three months, the app grew three times faster than Venmo.
Dolev estimates that Square's Cash App will generate $30 million to $40 million in adjusted revenue for the year. He stated:
"If the Cash App continues to grow rapidly, the business could reach or even exceed $100 million in sales by 2020, even without deeper active user penetration. With impressive user growth and ongoing decoupling from Bitcoin, we believe Square's monetisation efforts are increasingly bearing fruit."
Cash App expands Bitcoin reach
The payments company fully launched the feature to enable users to buy and sell Bitcoin in its Cash App in January. However, on Monday 13th August, the company tweeted that the ability to buy Bitcoin was now available in all fifty states. Previously it had been blocked from users in New York, Georgia, Hawaii, and Wyoming because of those states having more restrictions on cryptocurrency transactions.
Both Wyoming and Hawaii required companies with cryptocurrency capabilities to hold cash reserves equal to the amount of cryptocurrency funds. Restrictions like this made it difficult for cryptocurrency exchanges to function. However, Wyoming lifted this restriction in March and Square swiftly moved in and expanded its Bitcoin services.
Square's stock shot up to an all-time high of $75.15 on August 14. Square announced its move into bitcoin trading in November 2017. The Cash App capabilities set to expand to cryptocurrency and from then, shares of Square have spiked.

Get ready for aMUSEment: This poetry school in Mumbai just needs four months to make a poet out of you
Put your creativity and imagination and to the right use. Meet 30-year-old Anish Vyavahare who runs a poetry college at QTube Cafe.
Parvathi Benu
Four teachers train 20 students to be poets in a course of four months
Is poetry a layman's cup of tea? The answers to that question and one's perception might conflict. But Anish Vyavahare's answer is always yes. Why else would he start a poetry college? Yes! You heard it right. Anish runs the college out of QTube Cafe, Mumbai where four teachers train 20 students to be poets in a course of four months.
The 30-year-old lecturer, who was once in search of a similar course, says, "There were courses that offered training in writing, but that was not what I was looking for. Also, the qualifying criteria were very high. I found it ironic."
Anish is usually the facilitator of the class where his students, who range from students to retired professionals, are exposed to different styles of poetry. They're also given extensive writing exercises. At the same time, he ensures that they also read poetry extensively
After toying with the idea for almost a year, Anish began the course in August. But can poetry be taught as a regular subject? "Everyone can write. We don't really question Math being taught to everyone. The same logic should apply for poetry too. Some people are good at it, while some aren't," he says, adding that the sessions are usually two to four hours long and happen twice a week.

"Many people write, but not too many read poetry. Also, we crave for virality these days. Random rants about women empowerment may win applause, but that isn't poetry," he says, with the hope of creating better poets of tomorrow.
Selecting people was tough. Also, I didn't want to keep the filters too tight because it would have become like any other course and that would be pointless

INDONESIA: End excessive force and criminalization against indigenous Papuans
Statement |Indonesia | April 8, 2016
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) condemns the forced dispersal of peaceful protesters and their illegal arrest in Kampung Bhintuka-SP13 field in Mimika, Timika district, Papua on Tuesday, 5 April 2016. We have been informed that 12 protesters were taken into police custody in Kuala Kencana for further investigation and questioning.
Prior to the protest, the indigenous Papuans had informed the police of their intention to call for an end to rampant human rights violations in Papua. Despite this, the police suddenly forcibly dispersed the demonstration, with the claim that one of the protesters called for a referendum in his speech for indigenous Papuans who suffer from rampant violations conducted by the Indonesian security forces.
The AHRC has also learnt that the police have warned and intimidated local religious leaders to avoid political activities and speaking about human rights violations and referendums in churches. Over the last year, countless cases of forced dissolution of protesters in Papua and West Papua province have been observed. In all of these cases, the police have not taken the responsibility to examine whether or not the use of excessive force was lawful. At the same time, civilians do not have effective complaint mechanisms to challenge the police's use of excessive force and abuse of power.
As state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights with the promulgation of National Law No. 11 of 2005, the Indonesian government is obliged to ensure that the right to freedom of opinion and assembly is protected, as noted in Article 21 of the Covenant:
The right of peaceful assembly shall be recognized. No restrictions may be placed on the exercise of this right other than those imposed in conformity with the law and which are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, public order (ordre public), the protection of public health or morals or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
The government should take the forced dissolution of protests and police excessive use of force seriously, particularly as a National Commission on Human Rights report states that the highest number of human rights violations in Indonesia, including Papua, are conducted by the police. Besides the failure of police reform, the government is also failing to evaluate its policy upon Papua and West Papua, despite the protection of indigenous Papuans being a priority of President Joko Widodo's administration.
The AHRC notes in concern that the law enforcement agencies and criminal justice system in Papua and West Papua provinces have themselves become part of the problem. As a result of the judicial mechanism failing to fulfill the right to justice for indigenous Papuans, Papuan people do not see that their rights are fulfilled and respected in the manner of Indonesian citizens by the government. Rather, the presence of state security forces in the region has led to routine violence and the restriction of their freedom of opinion, assembly and thought.
The Government of Indonesia should therefore take immediate action to release all detained protesters who took part in peaceful demonstrations, and guarantee that any future peaceful protest is protected by the law and similar violations will not recur. The Government should further evaluate the presence of the Indonesian security forces in Papua and West Papua province, particularly as the proportion of the forces is not equal to that of the local indigenous Papuans, and far from protection, their presence has only resulted in rampant human rights violations against the Papuans. Lastly, the Government should be more consistent in implementing the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and show its seriousness by enforcing the law based upon fair trial principles.

Denny's has a new Han Solo-inspired menu, and it's fit for a nerf herder
By Meaghankirby
Han Solo made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, but now he's about to embark on the biggest challenge he's ever faced: The Denny's Grand Slam.
With Solo: A Star Wars Story officially soaring into theaters in just under two months, the legendary 24-hour diner is bringing its menu to a galaxy far, far away with a host of new Star Wars additions. But that's not even the best part, because Denny's will also be selling Solo trading cards to benefit No Kid Hungry, an organization dedicated to eradicating child hunger.
We think even Han Solo would get behind these odds.
Joining the menu to celebrate Solo, is the Co-Reactor Pancake Breakfast, which is two pancakes covered in fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and strawberry sauce. But taking the meal to a truly out-of-this-world level are the sides of Crystal Crunch Rocks and pitcher of warm citrus to pour over the pancakes.
Debate over whether Han really shot first while digging into the Blaster Fire Burger, a one-hundred percent beef patty topped with chipotle Gouda, bacon, and a Ghost pepper sauce on a brioche bun — served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and wavy cut fries.
Also being added to the menu is the Two Moons Skillet, a breakfast so good it'll have Lando Calrissian ready to place a wager on just about anything for another bite. The mouth-watering skillet features diced ham, fresh spinach, sautéed mushrooms, and hash browns served with a Gouda sauce, cheddar cheese, and two eggs.
Meanwhile Denny's Fit Slam breakfast is getting a Solo makeover and diners can take any milkshake to a new galaxy by adding Crystal Crunch Rocks for an added kick.
While enjoying Solo-fied breakfasts and sipping orange juice out of the collectible Solo cups, Star Wars fans can trade for their favorite characters by purchasing a $3 pack of trading cards from Denny's, with a portion of the sales going to No Kid Hungry.
We love that Denny's and Lucasfilm are not only celebrating the release of the upcoming film but they're also taking the time to call attention to an important organization like No Kid Hungry.
May the force be with the diners traveling to a galaxy far, far away for breakfast at Denny's — but don't worry, Blue Milk will *not* be featured on the menu. Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters on May 25th.

Alexander Wallace Hogg (1834-1883)
The Blacksmith's Shop by William Stewart MacGeorge
While researching the history of South Feus, one name that cropped up frequently in the early history of the street was Hogg. Alexander Hogg (1807-1870) was a village blacksmith for many years. He was the ninth of thirteen children of Alexander Hogg (manufacturer associated with the linen trade) and his wife Elizabeth Grieve. Alexander the blacksmith lived and ran his business at the west end of South Feus and round the corner next to the hotel (see 1854 map below where his blacksmith shop is circled). This was an ideal location for such a business - right on the main routes to St Andrews and the East Neuk from Leven and close to Largo House.
With the horse being the essential means of transport, the blacksmith was a key village craftsman. Aside from the manufacture of horse shoes, the blacksmith's forge would produce a wide range of implements for domestic, agricultural and other use. Many blacksmiths were also wheelwrights. Blacksmith's shops often descended from father to son but this was not the case with Alexander Hogg. His eldest and only surviving son, Alexander, had an alternative career in mind. So after Alexander senior's death in 1870, the family premises passed on to his daughter and son-in-law and were repurposed into a joiner's workshop.
Alexander's middle daughter of three (Elizabeth Hogg) married Peter Broomfield the joiner. Elizabeth had left Largo to become a domestic servant (cook) in Edinburgh's New Town and likely met the Midlothian-born joiner during her time there. The pair relocated to Largo and began the joinery enterprise in Kirkton - the legacy of which continues to this day (there is still a joiner's workshop on the site (see image further below)).
So, what path did Alexander Wallace Hogg take? His career choice led to success but took him away from Largo. However, he never forgot his roots. By the time of the 1851 census, aged 16, Alexander was working as a grocer's assistant in Newburgh. From there he went on to serve an apprenticeship with a grocer's firm in Perth. Later, he was then engaged by the firm of 'Messrs John Beattie & Co.' sugar brokers of Glasgow. In 1856 he married Agnes Turnbull and in 1858, he formed a partnership with John Myles to trade as commission and produce brokers. At the time of the 1861 census Alexander was a 'sugar merchant' living in Hospital Street, Govan, and he had two sons, the eldest also named Alexander Wallace Hogg. When John Myles died in 1867 at the young age of 33, the business partnership was dissolved (see notice below from the Dundee Courier of 30 August 1867).
By 1871, the family had grown to six sons and one daughter and they were now living at Elgin Villas in Shawlands and had three domestic servants. Two years earlier, Alexander had created a new firm in the name of 'Alexander Hogg & Co,' based at 60 Virginia Street, Glasgow. This firm would become recognised as one the of the most extensive in its dealing in British and foreign refined sugars. In 1872, Alexander Hogg acquired the Dellingburn Sugar Refinery in Greenock and the business was conducted under the firm of 'Hogg, Wallace & Co.'. The family home in Shawlands was named 'Largo Villa' in recognition of Alexander's birthplace. Now number 1331 Pollockshaws Road, the house as it is today is shown below.
Greenock at the time had a number of sugar refineries. Along with shipbuilding and wool manufacturing, sugar refining was a significant employer in the town. Greenock is the birthplace Abram Lyle of Tate and Lyle - which became the most successful of the refineries. Alexander Hogg's firm was successful too and in 1880 he was able to purchase a beautiful marine summer residence known as Ardenlee set in four acres near Dunoon (see advertisement from 28 April 1880 Glasgow Herald). Just like another 'Largo Villa' owned by a native of Largo, this building later became a care home. In the census of 1881, only the youngest child, Agnew, was at home with Alexander and Agnes at Largo Villa, along with three domestic servants. The older children were all staying at Ardenlee with an aunt and other servants.
Over the years, Alexander hadn't forgotten his family in Largo and the place of his birth remained important to him. In 1872, he presented the congregation of Largo St David's Church (then the United Presbyterian Church) with a bell to hang in the small belfry atop the south gable, upon completion of the new church. In 1879, upon the death of Thomas Hogg of Lundin Mill, he had paid back the amount that the Largo Parochial Board had spent on the care of his late uncle (see piece below from 13 March Fife Herald).
In 1883, and aged just 49, Alexander Hogg died at Largo Villa. Having made the decision to forgo the life of a blacksmith, he succeeded in big business on the other side of the country but didn't live to see old age, as his father had done. On the day of Alexander's funeral, the Greenock Sugar Exchange was closed. Such a mark of respect had never before been paid to a member of the exchange. He had been held in high esteem for his 'probity, urbanity and considerateness'.
The sugar broking business continued to thrive under the management of son and namesake Alexander Wallace Hogg junior. In 1886, Greenock's James Watt Dock opened, providing shipping and shipbuilding facilities including a large warehouse (known as the Sugar Shed - pictured below in recent times) which was used for both imported raw sugar, and refined sugar ready for delivery. By the end of the 19th century, around 400 ships a year were transporting sugar from Caribbean holdings to Greenock for processing and there were 14 sugar refineries.
The younger Alexander Hogg lived at Largo Villa with his widowed mother, and they continued to use Ardenlee in the summer months. In 1889 Alexander was sued for breech of promise by Miss Annie G. Macfarlane. In 1887, he had asked her parents consent to his marrying her and had given her two diamond rings. However, many months later he had broken off the engagement, allegedly damaging her reputation. The newspaper reports of the time tell us something about the lifestyle that Alexander junior led:
"He is very wealthy, and has two pleasure yachts, one of them being about 60 tons; keeps carriages and coachmen; and owns several prize horses."
In the end, the pursuer accepted £1,000 plus expenses to settle the case. On 12 January 1895 Agnes Hogg died aged 66. Soon afterwards, in 1898, aged 42, Alexander junior migrated to Australia, where he remained for the rest of his life. he died in Sydney in 1909. In more than one sense, he ended up a very long way from his grandfather's blacksmith's shop in Largo.

Nice to learn of the link between the Hogg and Broomfield families occupying the same premises in Upper Largo. I had always thought that the 2 storey joiners workshop which I first new of as Peter Broomfield's premises (later his son Agnew Broomfield's workshop) before Bob Donaldson took over and now run by John Donaldson and his son had originally been a dwelling. It may at some point have had the upper floor added after it was a blacksmiths, as it would have been a struggle to man handle heavy iron implements and etc. up and down the stairs. Certainly all of the blacksmiths shops I know of are or were single storey buildings often what look like converted cottages. The existing blacksmiths at the east end of Colinsburgh Main Street is a good example and internally looks very much like the painting above, Possibly Peter Broomfield added the 2nd storey as certainly when my father worked there as a joiner from circa 1958 to 1968 the joinery benches for assembling windows, staircases etc was on the upper floor with the machinery on the ground floor. I believe it is still the same today,

I have not been myself since the 14 of February, and I can't bring myself to tell my roommate why I have been moody, how can I? When she came back three days after valentine with stuff I can't bring myself to look at, I refused to even look at pictures of her and her Fiance, she had gotten annoyed and called me "bad belle" and I agreed.
I feel so miserable and empty, I hate my roommate and her happiness, her stupid Fiance calls almost every minute, jeez…I hate the fact that she is happy and am not, and that idiotic smile on her face when they are talking on phone annoys me.
I don't think I would be attending the stupid Campus Blast this weekend, to hell with stupid Dbanj, Wizkid, and everybody else that stupid telecommunication company is bringing, everything and everyone is stupid…. Even this silly diary I am writing in is stupid, Jhay is stupid and whoever reads my diary without my permission is STUPID!

So, choosing the right photographer is a decision that will affect generations!
How do you choose one? Here are simple steps to choosing the right one.
1. Decide on your budget. Ask your parents what is affordable. Packages can range from a couple hundred dollars to thousands. Remember, photos are an investment.
2. Ask yourself, "What do I want to DO with my pictures?" Will they be family gifts? Do you want canvases made? Wallet size? Albums made?
3. Think about your personal style. Do you want pictures outside? Inside? Outfit changes? Sports uniforms?
4. Decide on a timeframe for your photos. Your Senior year is busy! So pick a season to do your photos will you might be LESS busy than others (hint not during prom or finals season!). The best season is the summer before Senior year, before the busy seasons.
1. Do a Google search to find local photographers in your local area, or ask friends for a good referral.
2. Check out each website while asking these questions. Do you like the pictures on the website? Do they seem like your style? Vintage, edgy, natural? Indoor, outdoor? Is the price right?
4. Ask questions about prices and packages available, and if they fit in with your plan for using your pictures.
5. Will you get the proofs from your session? How many? How does editing work? Will all the images be edited? If not, how many?
6. Also ask about scheduling. Will the photographer have time to fit you in and finish your photos when you need them?
7. Go with the photographer you LOVE.
1. Talk with your photographer about setting, outfit changes and poses.
2. Ask for advice about colors or outfits that work best for pictures.
4. Be-YOU-tiful. It's perfect to be yourself in your pictures.
This is a special time to celebrate. Finding the photographer you love will help you capture this rite of passage for you and your family. Good Luck!

Today I walked to Ikebukuro and back again in order to buy some shoes for work and some shirts. I now have a short-sleeved linen shirt from UNIQLO that I can wear at the school. I also have indoor shoes from ABC Mart for wearing in the building.
So, in that respect, the day was a success.
What was made of fail is that I haven't been able to write at all today. I keep starting in my notebook and then scribbling it out because it's rubbish.
So, the characters are all at a drinking party, but none of them are there to party. Please answer these questions in the hope that they might jiggle something loose?
...the first person to leave a party?
...the last person to leave a party?
