Passionately, he fights against any treatment that does not follow the rule of similars and against the so-called 'allopathic' doses, but then he goes and recommends the selfsame therapies and remedies as his recommendation of camphor against cholera shows. This Hahnemann neither chooses for all cases according to the law of similars, nor does he give it in the high potencies which he declared to be absolutely necessary for that time. I could supply scores of similar examples which I, in fact, did in this treatise.

The seeds are fried, the inner pulp soaked in water, boiled and again soaked in water, and the resultant solution given orally to pregnant women in the third trimester to develop immune resistance in the baby. Processed seeds are consumed for hip pain by Kadars and Malasars. Seed paste is applied to the body for fever with body pains, and for scabies, by the 1168 Malasar (Ravishankar et al., 1994).
Scabies this is an infestation by itch mites. These are parasites that burrow into the skin around the wrists and fingers. It produces extreme irritation and is very difficult to eradicate. Any clothing, bedding or towels used by a person with scabies must be burnt. Do not massage. Advise the client to seek medical advice.
Itch mites (Sarcoptes scabies) This is a tiny animal that burrows into the skin producing a condition called scabies. It has 8 legs and is around 0.3 mm long and 0.2 mm wide. The fertilised female burrows into the skin forming dark lines about 1 cm long. She lays around 60 eggs in the burrows, which hatch in 4-8 days. The burrows are seen between the fingers, on the front of the wrists, forearms or may be on male genitalia. They cause intense irritation, vesicles, papules and pustules. They are easily passed from person to person. Medical opinion should be sought and any clothing, towels etc that have come into contact with such a client must be burned.
Scabies is an infection of the skin caused by a microscopic mite. For reasons unknown, this infection is a common problem in adults with Down's syndrome and tends to be a worse infection than in the general population. The mite is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. The rash is extremely itchy and typically appears as small, raised red dots. These dots can appear in lines (the mites burrowing under the skin), but are more often seen in the webs between fingers, around the waist, on the buttocks and around the bra line in females. If the affected person scratches the rash a lot, it can develop a secondary bacterial infection. Scabies usually responds to permethrin cream with a onetime application.

This is the time of year when television news programmes root out stories which purport to show how the Spirit of Goodwill To All Men permeates even the most austere realms of officialdom. You know the sort of thing; the Norwegian Post Office employing a full-time staff to ensure all letters posted to Santa Claus are answered personally, the front office staff at the Tax Office donning Santa Claus hats, supermarkets handing out all their left-over perishable goods to children's homes on Christmas Eve, and so on.
The one that caught my eye this year was about staff at the Trading Standards Department of Wandsworth Borough Council (the council where my good friend Peter Almond spends his waking hours – including, it seems, all of Christmas – being astonishingly courteous to members of the public who call up to complain at all hours of the day and night) who, going about the grim task of confiscating fake designer-label garments from market traders and back-street shops, have chosen not to destroy the goods but pass them on to a church which painstakingly removes the fake labels and sews in their own legitimate ones. The church then gives these garments away free to the homeless. It was a truly heart-warming story, and had a nice extra moral about it in that the church had recently been given permission to use a former fake-goods factory in the area in order to re-brand the illicit goods professionally.
True, when the motley assortment of tramps and winos who had been presented with formerly-fake Gucci, Guess, Levi, Miss Selfridge and whatever else people seem to think warrants and extra pair of noughts on the price tag, were asked what they thought, they were, to a man, deeply unimpressed; "It's OK", said one, of his rebranded North Face anorak, "All right, I suppose", said another from the depths of a quilted Formerly-Known-As-Barbour. I wondered if they might not have been more enthusiastic had the church left the fake labels on. But, there again, it might just be that designer clothes, fake or real, are more about appearance than practicality. The point was, illegal copying of goods, useless or otherwise, is being ruthlessly stamped out in Wandsworth (God Bless It), but is being done so this Christmas with a humane face.
Perhaps next year the story might be of an equally conscientious council in the Far East exporting briquettes made from the pulped paper used to produce pirated music to heat the homes of freezing Euro-bereft Europeans, or sent to India as material to fill pot-holes. Certainly there are vast quantities of such material just waiting to be confiscated, and would-be confiscators would do well to look first at the choirs of the region. I don't suppose there is a single choir in the whole of south east Asia that possesses more than one copy of each work they sing; my estimate is that there are 10,000 singers for every original copy, but I suspect that is ridiculously conservative.
A few days ago I attended a choral concert of Christmas music given by a collective of south east Asian choirs. It was a lovely occasion and despite a certain tackiness (an inevitable side-effect of Christmas concerts anywhere), musically it was well worth the hefty admission fee.
But… Five choirs, five conductors, five pianists. Original copies? None. True to form, the singers had no music with them on stage (which caused a certain discomfort with the arms and hands which was only alleviated by the horrible inevitability of synchronised movements) but one could almost hear the clatter of clear-folders stuffed to the brim with photocopied sheets being cast aside in the wings as they all filed on stage.
No such pretence for conductors and pianists, all of whom marched on with their clear plastic folders, glinting in the stage lights and revealing page after page of badly photocopied extracts from Carols for Choirs and the like.
I can sympathise with those who find it difficult to sort through the pages of a large carol book to find the next item, and with those whose books are so new they have yet to crack the bindings and sit flat on the music stand. But we all know this is a fiction. Why buy when you can steal, is the choral motto. How I wish they adopted a similar attitude to their Mercs, BMWs and Porsches. Yet, for some reason, while music should be free for all – after all, it's only fun – driving a state of the art German automobile – which is a fatal weapon both directly and indirectly - should be the unique preserve of the wealthy.
Choral societies are the worst offenders, but by no means the only ones. Once the trading standards people have taught them not to steal, they might start to look elsewhere. The greatest Christmas present for those of us who make our living out of music would be some serious legal attempts to stop people getting our product for free and then, effectively profiting from it by charging an audience to witness the fruits of their theft. Only when music is appreciated as a costly necessity rather than a cheap accessory will people begin to value it.

Majapahit Heritage
Trowulan and The Memoirs of Majapahit
Author Topic: Trowulan and The Memoirs of Majapahit (Read 4413 times)
| July 27, 2012, 04:12:20 PM
Majapahit Heritages, is an application of the Majapahit Empire Heritage, which shows about the tourism objects from Majapahit era. These objects are mostly located in Trowulan, but there are some of the objects located in other area, but still related to the Majapahit reign. This application is completed by high resolution pictures, map, and complete description about the tourism objects.
Majapahit, was a living legend, an archipelagic empire in times. Majapahit Empire exists in Java Island from 1293 to 1500s. This Empire was stood on its glory during the era of Hayam Wuruk reign, which was started from 1350 to 1389 that signed by his conquest extended through Southeast Asia.
By his achievements the name of the Empire became more famous; this achievement is also credited to Hayam Wuruk?s Prime Minister, Gajah Mada. He became the other living legend that famous and prestigious in Java land. According to the source of Nagarakertagama encrypt, it written that in 1365, Majapahit was colonizing 98 tributaries; stretching from Sumatra to New Guinea, which now consists of Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Southern Thailand, Philippines and East Timor.
By those legendary of ancient times, it also ascertained that there will be thousand heritages that took from the ruin of Majapahit. One of those ancient remaining is located in Trowulan.
Trowulan is one of sub-districts in Mojokerto regency, East Java. Trowulan is surrounded by some archaeological sites that covering around 100 square Kilometers. There were so many researchers conducted regarding Trowulan?s ancient heritages which all concentrated on monumental remains like, temples, tombs, and bathing places. Fortunately, those researches are widely spread about remain industrial, commercial and religious activity, habitation areas and water supply systems. All of which were the evidences of dense population during the 14th to 15th centuries.
by those founding, The Ministry of Cultures and Tourism of Indonesia had already submitted Trowulan as UNESCO World Heritage in October 2009. Today?s archeological that already become the brand new tourism objects in Trowulan are; short of, about the temples, the pool and tomb. There are famous temples like Candi Tikus, Candi Brahu, Candi Menak Jingga and Segaran pool that sometime being visited by tourists.

Q: How to use relative angular component in Storybook? Consider this structure;
--MyModule
----Header
----HeaderLogo
I'm trying to develop angular components in storybook. I am able to see and develop a single component, but when I import component into another component (header logo into header) (same module) I'm getting the following error;

Template parse errors: 'header-logo' is not a known element:
  1. If 'header-logo' is an Angular component, then verify that it is part of this module. 2. If 'header-logo' is a Web
  Component then add 'CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA' to the '@NgModule.schemas'
  of this component to suppress this message.

When I add parent module to moduleMetadata like this (to import HeaderLogo),
addDecorator(
  moduleMetadata({
    imports: [MyModule],
  })
);

I'm getting;

index.js:19 Error: Type HeaderComponent is part of the declarations of
  2 modules: MyModule and DynamicModule! Please consider
  moving HeaderComponent to a higher module that imports
  MyModule and DynamicModule. You can also create a new
  NgModule that exports and includes HeaderComponent then import that
  NgModule in MyModule and DynamicModule.

How can I make this work?

A: 'moduleMetadata' also has another property 'declarations'. You can use that to add the component you desire.
That seems to be the best way to add components from inside the same module as the component you are documenting.
Example (for an Angular context):
Assuming the 'HeaderComponent' and the 'HeaderLogoComponent' come from the same module.

/** List of module dependencies and component declarations. Stored as separate var because they are shared among all stories */
const modules = {
 imports: [MatIconModule, BrowserAnimationsModule],
 declarations: [HeaderLogoComponent]
};

/** Prepared actions to make sure they are consistently available throughout the story set */
const actions = {
 doTheThing: action('Do it')
};

storiesOf('UI|Headers/Main Header', module)
 .addDecorator(withA11y)
 .addDecorator(withKnobs)
 .add('with Logo and stuff',
  () => ({
   component: HeaderComponent,
   props: {
    formLabel: text('formLabel', undefined),
    primaryColor: '#FFFFFF',
    doThings: actions.doTheThing
   },
   moduleMetadata: modules
  }));

A: The syntax for adding Component Library Declorations for Storybook 6.5.3 is:

// stories/Example.stories.ts
import { Story, Meta, moduleMetadata } from '@storybook/angular';
import {
  MainComponent,
  MainModule,
  PrimaryContentComponent,
  SecondaryContentComponent,
} from 'my-library';

export default {
  title: 'MainComponent',
  component: MainComponent,
  declarations: [/** If you add additional components to this template add them here */],
  decorators: [
    moduleMetadata({
      imports: [MainModule],
      declarations: [
        /** Add declorations from your component library here */
        PrimaryContentComponent,
        SecondaryContentComponent,
      ],
    }),
  ],
} as Meta;

Our skin is our primary barrier against external attack, insulating and protecting us from being damaged. If it is compromised, the damaged and/or irritated skin is then even more sensitive and permeable to external attack, and its appearance is also impaired.
The following "cruelty free" facemask recipes are meant to replenish undernourished skin, heal and sooth damaged, dry, chapped, sunburned, aging or irritated skin. They also offer an alternative to commercial, artificial and chemically laden facemasks and creams. They save you the money of paying big bucks for a spa-style vegan face mask when you can make one yourself!
By returning the facial skin back to a normal pH these masks will also help to clear up and prevent acne.
They'll keep for up to a week if covered and placed in the refrigerator, plus they feel amazing when applied to the face cold.
It is recommended that you apply these facemasks to the entire face, allowing it to dry for about 20 minutes or so after which you can rinse it off with warm water and pat the skin dry with a soft cotton towel.
Either mash the strawberries and avocado with a fork or add to a processor and process until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir or blend to combine.
Avocados are a natural moisturizer moisturizing and they are also very high in Vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant. Strawberries contain a compound called salicylic acid which is anti-bacterial and astringent and strawberries also act as an exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells. Matcha is powdered green tea which is super high in antioxidants and polyphenols which help prevent the aging of the skin and help with inflammation. Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory both taken internally and applied externally, helping with skin conditions like acne. Almond milk is high in vitamin E which is a potent antioxidant.
Combine all the ingredients in bowl and mix well. Apply to the face and neck. After 15-20 minutes, rinse thoroughly. Your skin should now feel cool, soft and refreshed.
This facemask was inspired by an age-old beauty secret: cucumbers. Cucumbers contain silica, which can help rejuvenate your skin, tighten your pores, and even treat nasty sunburn!
Blend the oats in a food processor until no large grains remain. Add the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar and pulse until well mixed. Apply to the face and neck. After 15-20 minutes, rinse thoroughly. Enjoy rejuvenated skin!
The idea of an oatmeal mask isn't new, but this simplified version of the classic facial is pure goodness. Oatmeal can help restore your skin's natural moisture and also help heal scarring.
Facemasks are considered by many skin care specialists to be an essential part of any good skincare routine. They provide a deep cleaning and an increase in hydration not readily available in most commercial products. It can be especially difficult for vegans to find affordable facemask options in retail stores that are free of animal derived ingredients and/or ones that have not been tested on animals.
So consider making your own vegan-friendly facemask using one of the recipes above and nothing but fresh, all-natural ingredients from your kitchen. With regular use of one of these masks, you should see a major improvement in the overall quality and appearance of your skin and overall complexion.

Plasma Nitriding Mechanisms of Low-Density Sintered Metal Products

The mechanism of plasma nitriding include the formation of various active species generating nitrogen atoms reacting with the metal. Which species prevail in supplying nitrogen depends on nitriding conditions as well as the nature of the treated metal. Plasma nitriding of low-density powder metal (PM) products results in a formation of the layers whose thicknesses may depend on the gas pressure used for the process. Higher pressure can cause locally deeper penetration of the surface by active nitrogen species formed from ammonia compounds generated by the plasma. While a low processing pressure reduces this effect significantly. The formation mechanism of a locally thicker layer relies on the presence of open porosities in the surface as they can be penetrated by the ammonia species generated by the plasma. The same porosities cannot be penetrated by the ions of nitrogen formed at the same time since their mean free life is much shorter than that of ammonia species.
Plasma nitriding can be carried out in a typical pressure range of 0.5–5 mbar, depending on the geometrical configuration of the product. When the process is executed at a low pressure, prevailing species are mostly N2 +, N+ ions and active nitrogen atoms in statu nascendi formed in the plasma [1–5]. Those high energy ions as well as fast neutrals collide with the surface causing its sputtering but also adsorption of nitrogen atoms thus leading to the nitriding effect. When the process is carried out at a higher pressure, more active nitrogen atoms in statu nascendi come also from the NHx+-type ions and radicals generated in the plasma. The work of Klümper-Westkamp, Skalecki and others [6, 7] has shown that plasma nitriding can be controlled by measuring the concentration of the ammonia radicals formed by the glow discharge, similarly to affecting ammonia species by controlling nitriding potential in gas nitriding. Increase of gas pressure leads to increase of those ammonia species as demonstrated by [6, 7], see Figure 1.
This phenomenon might be especially important when dealing with low-density sintered metal products (PM); the ammonia formed in plasma may cause a gas nitriding-type effect. Generally, low-density PM materials should not be gas nitrided because ammonia may penetrate the entire microstructure of the alloy through interconnected porosities causing its brittleness [8, 9].
The above mentioned spectral differences in plasma composition can result in a typical plasma nitriding effect of the PM and formation of a layer with uniform thickness when pressure is low and a more typical gas nitriding effect and formation of much deeper and non-uniform layer when the pressure is high.
To demonstrate the correctness of the above assumptions, we carried out several different plasma processes as well as a conventional gas process of the typical low-density, 6.8–7.3 g/cm3 PM alloy samples.
2. Experimental procedure
PM samples made from pre-alloyed low-alloy steel FL-4405 (0.4– 0.7 % C, 0.75–0.95 % Mo, 0.05–0.03 % Mn) with a density of 7.1 g/c3 were used for the experiment. The plasma processes were carried out at a temperature of 565 °C in a mixture of N2 : H2 = 3 : 1 with 2 % methane in the pulse plasma system. Before nitriding, all the metal working fluids from forming operation used for the samples were removed by a thermal treatment. A gas nitrocarburizing test was carried out at 570 °C to illustrate the known fact of through-nitriding of low-density PM alloys [9].
Figure 2 illustrates that gas nitriding in ammonia of low-density PM material results in a complete saturation of 3–5 mm thick samples with ammonia and their through-nitriding. The internal structure of the sample is also full of cracks and delineations of the grains.
In contrast, plasma nitriding at low-pressure (p = 0.75 mbar) produced a well-visible, continuous structure of a typical compound zone formed the same way as it can be found in a solid, porosity-free steel, see Figure 3. The internal microstructure of the sample is free of the nitrided layer and does not reveal any cracks.
Plasma nitriding test performed at a high pressure (p = 3.5 mbar) produced mixed results, see Figure 4a and b. The compound layer is seen to be much thicker and not uniform. Its thickness is locally very deep. Obviously, ammonia species present in plasma penetrated the open surface porosities much deeper than in the latter experiment. However, the internal structure of the sample is still free of nitrided layer and does not show any visible cracks.
4. Discussion and Conclusions
Low-density powder metal material allows the almost unrestricted penetration of its internal microstructure by ammonia molecules. As a result, through-nitriding of the gas-nitrided sample has been observed, see Figure 2. Side effects of such unwanted ammonia penetration are typically catastrophic to fracture toughness of the component leading to its cracking after the treatment or future brittleness.
The plasma nitriding of identical material may lead to partial penetration of the near surface grains by ammonia molecules and NHx radicals formed from the mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen by processes of ionization, collisions and sputtering at the cathodic surface. It is known that increasing partial pressure of nitrogen to about 50% in the plasma process increases the formation of those ammonia species [6, 7]. A similar effect is also achieved when the total pressure of the gas mixture, and therefore partial pressure of nitrogen, is increased. That is why plasma nitriding at higher pressure results in a locally deeper penetration of the nitrided layer into the surface than at lower gas pressure, see Figure 3 and 4.
Our observations can be summarized by the graphical model of plasma nitriding when applied to PM material, Figure 5.
When gas nitriding is applied to low-density PM, ammonia species can penetrate it deeply, through a significant thickness of the object, see Figure 5a. Practical results of this phenomena can be observed when a simple experiment is carried out with parts with 10–20 mm thickness. Those parts/samples disintegrate into hundreds of small pieces when impacting a concrete floor.
The schematic representation of the nitriding reaction occurring during plasma process is presented in Figure 5b and c. As can be seen, electrically ionized species (ions) move approximately perpendicularly to the surface and are neutralized after first collisions with it. Therefore, they can penetrate only those cavities (porosities) which are open at the surface. On the other hand, ammonia molecules formed in the plasma have much longer intermediate times and free paths (ammonia is detected even at the exhaust of the system in the vacuum pump), and because of that, it can penetrate those porosities much deeper than ions or active nitrogen atoms before being decomposed completely into nitrogen and hydrogen molecules. As a result, since the amount of ammonia generated in plasma depends on the pressure used [6, 7], the layer formed in PM at higher pressure can be much deeper than the layer formed at lower pressure. The severity of this effect might also depend on a local density and homogeneity of PM.

An EPIRB (or an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) is a device that enables anyone that is travelling on the sea to be safe, wherever they are. What the EPIRB does it alerts the Search and Rescue Authorities if the boat or any crew member is in danger and needs to be rescued for any reason. An EPIRB is fitted to a boat and is registered to the boat (unlike a PLB which is registered to the owner). An EPIRB can either be manually activated, usually by pulling a switch or pressing a button, or it can be automatically activated, this happens whenever the device comes into contact with enough water. If the EPIRB is going to be manually activated, then there is usually a guard or a tab which needs to be removed before activating, this is to stop an EPIRB being accidentally activated. When it is automatically activated, the device has a knife which cuts the cord keeping the EPIRB in the housing, allowing it to freely float on the water.
EPIRBS can be fitted into any type of boat but they are required by law to have one on all commercial boats such as passenger boats, cargo ships, tankers and containerships which are over 300 tonnes. Those which are fitted need to reach the minimum IMO SOLAS standards (International Maritime Organisation, International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea).
After an EPIRB is purchased, it must be registered before being fitted. Every country has a different registration contact address, for example in the UK your EPIRB must be registered with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. You must provide details of the vessel, information on the beacon and personal contact details. These details will be saved and in case of an emergency, they will be used to check to see if the distress signal is genuine.
After being activated, the beacon will transmit a coded distress message on the 408MHz frequency via the COSPAS-SARSAT network of satellites. The COSPAS-SARSAT network of satellites have been designed to have complete global coverage meaning that wherever you are in the world, the beacon will be covered and will work.
The coded distress message that is transmitted from the beacon will have a unique code which links it to the specific EPIRB, from this the location that the EPIRB has been registered with will show the details of the EPIRB. The vessel is then contacted to see if the emergency is genuine and if it is it then the appropriate search and rescue authorities will be contacted and they will then go to rescue the people onboard the vessel. There location will be shown from where the EPIRB is transmitting the coded distress message.
EPIRBS are activated manually by pulling a switch or pressing a button. Or if it is housed in a auto housing unit then it will be activated automatically when it comes into contact with water. Another method of activating the EPIRB is to remove the EPIRB from the housing and then throw it into the water.

Anarchism Kills Individualism, by Charlotte Wilson
Individualist Anarchism is a round square, a contradiction in set terms. As a cube is not a ball, so " Individualism " is not Anarchism. What then, is Individualism? It is the chaos of to-day in social and industrial life, which has sprung from the licentious play of self-will Self-will is the will to be somewhat, and to have hold and sway something in isolation from other such wills, and in opposition to them. Property, dominion, government, law, are embodiments of this self will. Individualism is this striving, grabbing, over-reaching, and self-seeking of atoms, that seek to possess human individuality, but go about their quest the wrong way. It calls itself civilization, progress, fair competition, free trade, and many other fine names. ... (From : AnarchyArchives.)

End of the Age, The: Essay on ..., by Leo Tolstoy
An Essay on the Approaching Revolution
I In Gospel language "the age" and "the end of the age" does not signify the end and beginning of a century, but the end of one view of life, of one faith, of one method of social intercourse between men, and the commencement of another view of life, another faith, another method of social intercourse. [...] Every revolution begins when Society has outgrown the view of life on which the existing forms of social life were founded, when the contradictions between life such as it is, and life as it should be, and might be, become so evident to the majority that they feel the impossibility of continuing existence under former conditions. The revolution begins in that nation wherein the majority of men become conscious of this contradiction. As ... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

From Recollections & Essays by Leo Tolstoy. Oxford University Press: London, New York, Toronto, 1937. (pp. 433-439) GANDHI LETTERS To Gandhi. I HAVE just received your very interesting letter, which gave me much pleasure. God help our dear brothers and coworkers in the Transvaal! Among us, too, this fight between gentleness and brutality, between humility and love and pride and violence, makes itself ever more strongly felt, especially in a sharp collision between religious duty and the State laws, expressed by refusals to perform military service. Such refusals occur more and more often. I wrote the 'Letter to a Hindu', and am very pleased to have it translated. The Moscow people will let you know the title of the book on Krishna. As regar...

These letters, addressed to Frederic Bastiat, an economist, originally appeared in a debate published in The Voice of the People, in 1849. Interest and Principal The Origin of Ground Rent I said before that in ancient times the landed proprietor, when neither he nor his family farmed his land, as was the case among the Romans in the early days of the Republic, cultivated it through his slaves: such was the general practice of patrician families. Then slavery and the soil were chained together; the farmer was called adscrpitus gleboe, joined to the land; property in men and things was undivided. The price of a farm depended upon its area and quality of its soil, upon the quantity of stock, and upon the number of slaves. When the emancipation... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

Kingdom of God is Within You, ..., by Leo Tolstoy
"THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU" CHRISTIANITY NOT AS A MYSTIC RELIGION BUT AS A NEW THEORY OF LIFE TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN OF COUNT LEO TOLSTOI BY CONSTANCE GARNETT New York, 1894 TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. The book I have had the privilege of translating is, undoubtedly, one of the most remarkable studies of the social and psychological condition of the modern world which has appeared in Europe for many years, and its influence is sure to be lasting and far reaching. Tolstoi's genius is beyond dispute. The verdict of the civilized world has pronounced him as perhaps the greatest novelist of our generation. But the philosophical and religious works of his later years have met with a somewhat indifferent reception. They have been much talked about, simply because they were his work, but, as Tolstoi himself complains, they have never been seriously discussed. I hardly think that he will have to repeat the complain...

GANDHI INTRODUCTION The letter printed below is a translation of Tolstoy's letter written in Russian in reply to one from the Editor of Free Hindustan. After having passed from hand to hand, this letter at last came into my possession through a friend who asked me, as one much interested in Tolstoy's writings, whether I thought it worth publishing. I at once replied in the affirmative, and told him I should translate it myself into Gujarati and induce others' to translate and publish it in various Indian vernaculars.

A Philosophical Naturalism by Murray Bookchin What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? In an era of ecological breakdown, answering these questions has become of momentous importance for our everyday lives and for the future that we and other life-forms face. They are not abstract philosophical questions that should be relegated to a remote, airy world of metaphysical speculation. Nor can we answer them in an offhand way, with poetic metaphors or unth...

Principal of Organization to t..., by Luigi Galleani
Saverio Merlino sees, according to us, the decomposition and agony of the anarchist movement in the conflict between the individualist and the organizers on the ground of immediate action and in the intimate contradiction particular to the two streams of thought: those, the organizers "are not able to find a compatible organization with the anarchist principles": those, the individualists, "miss the concept of retaliation which was the spirit of anarchist action. They can't find a better way to act and they are not able to sustain an organization that they deny." That these organizers can't find some form of organization compatible with the anarchist principles is perfectly natural and logical: and this, its ar... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

Problems of Philosophy, The, by Bertrand Russell
CHAPTER XI ON INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE THERE is a common impression that everything that we believe ought to be capable of proof, or at least of being shown to be highly probable. It is felt by many that a belief for which no reason can be given is an unreasonable belief. In the main, this view is just. Almost all our common beliefs are either inferred, or capable of being inferred, from other beliefs which may be regarded as giving the reason for them. As a rule, the reason has been forgotten, or has even never been consciously present to our minds. Few of us ever ask ourselves, for example, what reason there is to suppose the food we are just going to eat will not turn out to be poison. Yet we feel, when challenged, that a perfectly good reason could be found, even if we are not ready with it at the moment. And in this belief we are usually justified. But let us imagine some insistent Socrates, who, whatever reason we give hi...

Two of NASA's heliophysics missions can now claim planetary science on their list of scientific findings. A group of scientists used the Venus transit - a very rare event where a planet passes between Earth and the sun, appearing to us as a dark dot steadily making its way across the sun's bright face - to make measurements of how the Venusian atmosphere absorbs different kinds of light. This, in turn, gives scientists clues to exactly what elements are layered above Venus's surface. Gathering such information not only teaches us more about this planet so close to our own, but it also paves the way for techniques to better understand planets outside our solar system.
Transits of Venus are so rare that they only happen twice in a lifetime. About every 115 years, Venus will appear to cross over the face of our home star twice, with eight years passing between the pair of transits. This stunning phenomenon is not only incredible to watch, but it provides a unique opportunity for scientific observations of one of our nearest neighboring planets.
NASA'S Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, and the joint Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency and NASA's Hinode mission took pictures of the entire event in several wavelengths of light. A team of scientists led by Fabio Reale of the University of Palermo used these pictures to watch the backlit planet as it crossed in front of the sun. By observing the planet's atmosphere in different wavelengths of light during its journey, they learned more about what kinds of atoms and molecules are actually in its atmosphere. This work was published in Nature Communications on June 23, 2015.
Just as on Earth, each of the layers of Venus' atmosphere absorb light differently from one another. Some layers may completely absorb a certain wavelength of light, while that same wavelength can pass right through another layer. As Venus passes across the face of the sun -- which emits light in almost every wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum -- scientists get a rare chance to see how all different types of light filter through Venus's atmosphere.
A layer in the upper atmosphere around Venus--called the thermosphere--absorbs certain high-energy wavelengths of light. When looking at the planet against the sun in one of these high-energy wavelengths, the thermosphere will appear opaque, rather than transparent as it does in visible light.
"Radiation goes into the atmosphere and is absorbed, creating ions and a layer of the atmosphere called the ionosphere," said Dean Pesnell, SDO project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Because the energy in this light is captured by the ions, it is not re-emitted on the other side. In certain wavelengths, Venus's atmosphere is as solid as a wall, blocking light from traveling to our eyes. To our telescopes, the atmosphere is as dark as the planet itself -- so, Venus will appear to have a different size, depending on the wavelength of the telescope's pictures.
Reale and his team chose images of the Venus transit taken in several X-ray and ultraviolet wavelengths and measured the apparent size of the planet to within several miles. For each set of pictures, the team calculated just how large the atmospheric blocking was--a measure of how high in Venus' atmosphere that particular wavelength of light is completely absorbed.
Because the various types of atoms absorb light slightly differently, the height of this light absorption lets scientists know how many and what types of molecules make up Venus's atmosphere. This information is important for planning missions to Venus, as those ions and molecules can change the amount of course-altering drag a spacecraft feels.
"Learning more about the composition of the atmosphere is very important for understanding the braking process for spacecraft when they enter the upper atmosphere of the planet, a process called aerobraking," said Reale.
The shape of Venus' atmosphere also gave scientists important clues to how the sun impacts the atmosphere. "If the atmosphere observed were asymmetric, that could tell us more about how the star is impacting the planet," said Sabrina Savage, NASA project scientist for Hinode.
During the transit, only the sides of the atmosphere could be seen, but they were particularly interesting areas. From the perspective of Venus, these were the areas where day turns into night and night turns into day--on Earth, these transition areas can host interesting effects in the ionosphere. The data from the Venus transit showed that these two transition areas are virtually the same.
"The planet appeared very round in all wavelengths," said Pesnell. "If the transition from day to night were different from the transition from night to day, you would expect a bulge in the atmosphere on one side of the planet."
Studying the Venus transit can also help improve studies of planets around other stars. Such exoplanets are often discovered by transits just like this, as we can detect the very small amount of light the planets block as they pass across their home star. The more we can observe transiting planets close to home the more it will teach us about how to study distant exoplanets that we can't currently see in as much detail. When instrument technology advances, we may be able to gather better information about the atmospheres of such exoplanets as well.
"In the future, there might be missions that have enough sensitivity to detect the difference in radius in different wavelengths," said Reale. "In particular, if there are exoplanets with an extremely thick thermosphere, the size difference in different wavelengths will be larger and there will be a better chance of detecting the change."

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health crisis in the United States. Every year, TBI contribute to a significant number of deaths and cases of permanent disability. According to recent data by the CDC Injury Center, on average, approximately 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury annually. Roughly, about 52,000 people die, 275,000 are hospitalized, and approximately 1.365 million, nearly 80%, are treated and released from an emergency department. The number of people with TBI who are not seen in an emergency department or who receive no care is unknown.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when there is a sudden trauma that results in damages to the brain. TBI usually occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain.
A person suffering with mild Traumatic Brain Injury may remain conscious or they may experience a loss of consciousness for a small period of time. Other symptoms experienced includes headache, confusion, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision or tired eyes, ringing in the ears, bad taste in the mouth, fatigue, a change in sleep patterns, behavioral or mood changes and trouble with memory. They are usually unable to concentrate or remain focus.
An individual experiencing moderate or severe TBI may show these same symptoms, but may also have headaches that worsen or does not go away, will experience repeated vomiting or nausea, convulsions or seizures, the helplessness to awaken from sleep, dilation of one or both pupils of the eyes, slurred speech, loss of coordination, and increased confusion or agitation.
Falls - Falls continued to be the leading cause of TBI (35.2%) in the United States. Falls cause half (50%) of the TBIs among children aged 0 to 14 years and 61% of all TBIs among adults aged 65 years and older.
Traumatic Brain Injuries, regardless of the cause, can be physically, emotionally and more importantly, financially crippling. Direct medical costs and indirect costs such as lost productivity as a result of TBI totaled an estimated $60 billion in the United States in 2000.
With any type of brain injuries, it can dramatically damage an individuals' ability to function and enjoy their life. However, when the agonizing effects of brain damage has to be endured due to the negligence or wrongful misconduct of others – whether from a fall, motor vehicular accident, medical malpractice, a dangerous manufactured products or from some other harmful mechanism - the legal system allows for a just and more often a substantial monetary compensation.
At The Law Office of Aleksandr Vakarev Esq., our attorneys are experienced in litigating brain injury lawsuits. We have attained sizeable compensation and lifetime of supportive care for our brain injured clients and their families.

Tom Arnold files a lawsuit against Network Ten over I'm A Celeb contract
US COMEDIAN Tom Arnold is accusing Network Ten of defrauding him into signing up for the jungle reality show.

Emotional star breaks silence on tragedy
FORMER I'm A Celeb castmate Tom Arnold has officially filed a lawsuit against Network Ten, claiming they defrauded him into blocking off his summer work schedule for a comedy tour that didn't go ahead.
The comedian appeared on the most recent season of the reality TV show, and claims he's still owed $US140,000 for his stint in the jungle.
According to Arnold, he signed up for the jungle and a follow-up tour in exchange for a total payment of $US425,000.
It's no secret the reality series — based in the South African jungle — is no picnic for contestants, but Arnold claims Ten enticed him to sign up with the offer of an Australian comedy tour to make up for the "significant personal inconvenience and hardship to its celebrity participants".
But the tour never happened, and he's now suing Network Ten and A-List Entertainment for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation and breach of oral contract.
However, Network Ten has hit back, claiming the agreed deal was done and dusted.
"All amounts owed to Tom Arnold by Network Ten have been paid. We have fully discharged all our obligations to Tom Arnold. And we have received no notice of any legal proceedings," a spokesperson told news.com.au.
Speaking to Kyle and Jackie O this morning, entertainment reporter Peter Ford revealed he'd actually spoken to Arnold in the wake of the lawsuit.
"He called me last night and look, he's a very reasonable guy, but he's like a dog with a bone. Once he's on a mission, he won't let go," he told the hosts.
Ford added that he even pointed out to Arnold that Network Ten's current financial woes meant a lot of the people he'd worked with on the show may soon be unemployed.
"He said 'I feel really bad about that, but that's why I wanted this [the lawsuit] settled three months ago, not now,'" he revealed.
Within the lawsuit, Arnold also lashed out at Ten for its portrayal of him on the show.
Arnold was largely panned for his attitude during the series, and was considered by many as the most miserable Celeb contestant ever.
He was the first contestant booted off the show. Picture: Channel 10
According to him, that was due to negative editing — and he blames the show's producers for purposely making him look bad and downplaying his comedic moments.
"Network Ten ensured Arnold that its depiction of Arnold on the Program would not endanger the Australian comedy tour," claimed his lawyer Marty Singer.
But Arnold alleges that Ten backed out of the tour and refused to cough up the remainder of the agreed pay deal.
"It was agreed orally and confirmed in writing that the guaranteed compensation to be paid for the two engagements — as a package — would be $425,000," explained Singer. "Plaintiffs agreed to the deal and blocked off Arnold's schedule in prime summer months when he typically receives his best engagements and highest compensation."
Bachelorette Brooke Blurton has said it was her decision to break up with her winner Darvid Garayeli, revealing the pair wanted "different things".
Former Miss Universe Australia star Maria Thattil has opened up about her sexuality, admitting she hid the truth until recently after being "shamed".
I'm A Celebrity's Dylan Lewis has spoken publicly for the first time about the devastating tragedy that rocked his family.


Keoladeo Ghana National Park also known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is located in the state of Rajasthan. The park has an area of 232 sq. km. This is the only manmade wildlife sanctuary in India, developed by the Maharaja of Bharatpur.


Clocking in at approximately 1, 700 square miles, the Great Salt Lake is the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River. The lake's name comes from the nature of the water: The evaporation process (the only exit available for the lake's water) leaves behind salty mineral deposits. Salt Lake City's visitors and residents enjoy the area's many hiking trails, ample picnic spots and boating and fishing opportunities.
According to recent travelers, the Great Salt Lake is also an excellent swimming spot. "The water is very dense and salty and you really float, " writes one TripAdvisor user. "Just stretch your arms, lie on your back on the water and enjoy the scenery."
One of the most popular access points is Antelope Island, a state park located just over 40 miles west of Salt Lake City. You can reach the island by following I-15 to Exit 332. The lake area is open every day starting at 6 a.m., though closing times vary depending on the season. If you decide to use Antelope Island as your jumping-off point, expect a $10 entrance fee per vehicle. However, there are also plenty of free access points closer to town.

Home Home & Garden Black Horse Farm
Black Horse Farm
House article f15
by beth S. Buxbaum
While having the charm and history of a traditional Bucks County fieldstone farmhouse, Black Horse Farm's upgrades elevate it to function as a 21st century home. Both structural and system renovations have taken place over the last 16 years. Most notable is the 2008 conversion to renewable energy from solar panels and wind turbine. In addition, a geothermal heating and cooling system was installed with 4 zones of high efficiency. This property has been brought into the next century with an eye to environmental sustainability, efficiency and conservation. With skill and vision, it has been preserved to provide many more years of country living.
Originally built circa 1851, the house was constructed on land deeded in 1845 to Samuel and Elizabeth Hager. The homestead is actually in the tiny town of Hagersville and Samuel Hager is buried in the local cemetery. Little is known about the earliest inhabitants, but what is evident is how the dwelling was transformed and expanded during its 164 years. Records indicate that there was an addition of a new kitchen and second bedroom in 1930. After that very few architectural changes were made until 1993, when Chris and Betsy bought the property. As its newest caretakers, they continued with the transformation, embellishing and enlarging the structure. From a modest four-room stone house, Black Horse Farm is now a sprawling two-story 4000 plus square-foot country estate.
With the ambiance and authenticity of a centuries-old homestead, this country estate is punctuated with many modern amenities. Adding to the stature and grace of the main house is a landscape overflowing with historic significance and natural beauty. A stroll around the property reveals a wide expanse of rolling hills, with a lush landscape offering a spring-fed pond with a dock, an in-ground pool overlooking the pastures, approximately 15 to 20 acres of five fenced pastures, a fenced garden area with raised beds and a nearby orchard with apple, pear and peach trees. Several impeccably maintained outbuildings make up the homestead's exterior footprint. Intertwined throughout the landscape is a stone bank barn with six horse stalls, a state-of-the-art, five-bay stone agricultural building, a renovated spring house, a stone structure presently functioning as a gym, a run-in shed and a detached two-car garage.

Q: Prove that a function has a derivative at $x=0$ Okay, we have this function:
$f(x)= |x|^\alpha \sin(\frac{1}{x})$, if $x\neq0$
$f(x)= 0$, if $x=0$
The question is, at point x=0:
1) At which value of $\alpha$ does $f(x)$ have a derivative?
2) At which value of $\alpha$ does $f(x)$ have a continuous derivative?
The answer is
1) $\alpha>1$
2) $\alpha>2$
For question 1) I have to prove that this limit exist:
$$\lim_{h\to0} \frac{f(0+h)-f(0)}{h} $$
Which is this:
$$\lim_{h\to0} \frac{|h|^\alpha sin(\frac{1}{h})}{h} $$
We know that $\sin(\frac{1}{h})$ as $h\to0$ doesn't have a limit but it is bounded. So, if we prove that $lim_{h\to0} \frac{|h|^\alpha}{h} = 0 $, then we would have proven that the whole limit is equal to 0, thus, the derivative at point x=0 is equal to 0. Is this reasoning correct?
If $\alpha > 1$, we can say that:
$$\lim_{h\to0} | \frac {h^\alpha}{h} | = \lim_{h\to0} |h^{\alpha-1}| = 0 $$
From this follows that:
$$\lim_{h\to0} \frac{|h|^\alpha}{h}=0 $$
Is this reasoning correct?
For the second question, I am completely lost. This is my first time posting here, and I'd be very thankful if you guys could help me out.

A: For question $1$ we need that the following limit exists
$$\lim_{h\to0} \frac{|h|^\alpha \sin(\frac{1}{h})}{h}$$
and since $\sin(\frac{1}{h})$ oscillates and is bounded we need that
$$\lim_{h\to0} \frac{|h|^\alpha }{h}=0 \implies \alpha>1$$
For question $2$ we need to check that the derivative is continuous and since we have
$$f'(x)=|x|^{\alpha-2}\left(\alpha x \sin(\frac{1}{x})-\cos(\frac{1}{x})\right)$$
in order to have continuity at the origin we need that as $x \to 0$ we have $f'(x) \to 0$.

Pedro Chavarry has been accused of obstructing justice in the Oderbrecht case by dismissing investigating attornies working on the case.
Peru's Attorney General Pedro Chavarry is clinging to his post as the nation's top public prosecutors demand his resignation. They allege the highest-level attorney in the land is 'obstructing' an investigation of Peru's elected officials for taking in millions from the Odebrecht construction between 2005 and 2015.
Chavarry came out on Twitter Sunday saying he will not step down as attorney general adding: "I will give my life and use all my strength to defend our autonomy and democracy."
This came after state prosecutor Jose Domingo Perez executed a warrant to raid certain offices under Chavarry's charge in Lima to look for evidence that connects the national attorney general to the money laundering case of Fuerzo Popular legislator, Keiko Fujimori, accused of receiving at least US$1.2 million in campaign funding from Odebrecht for her 2011 presidential run.
Chavarry called the raid "illegal" and said that Perez is "abusing his authority" for conducting the Friday-night raid.
The top legal official also accused Perez of "trampling on the institution of the attorney general" claiming Perez knowingly entered the wrong offices to gather evidence saying he went into other offices not pertaining to prosecutor Juan Duarte Castro. Judge Richard Concepcion who is presiding over Keiko's case issued the warrant.
The nation's top attorney had dismissed Perez and his anti-corruption colleague Rafael Vela from their posts on Dec. 31 as lead state investigators into the Odebrecht corruption case that involves several former presidents. Chavarry was forced to reinstate the two last Wednesday after major protests against Chavarry's decision took place on Jan. 1.
Just prior to their sudden dismissal the two junior prosecutors formally accused Chavarry of "obstructing" their case against Fujimori and Odebrecht in Peru for allegedly paying an estimated US$30 million in bribes in total over the past 20 years, including to Keiko, daughter of Peru's former authoritarian president Alberto Fujimori, along with the former Peruvian leaders: Alejandro Toledo (2001-2006), Alan Garcia (1985-1990, 2006-2011) and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (2016-2018).
Members of Peru's Board of Supreme Prosecutors, who have insisted that Chavarry step aside "for the good of the public," say that he is waiting to see if President Martin Vizcarra's bill is passed by Congress declaring a state of emergency in the attorney general's office which would dissolve the board and removes key people from positions.
Pablo Sanchez Velarde, a member of the six-prosecutor board, told local media, "I think (Chavarry) is waiting for the Executive's proposal to be approved so that we all leave. He wants to drag us away with him," he exclaimed.
Odebrecht's Peru office recently agreed to pay authorities a US$200 million fine in order to continue operating in the country in exchange for providing evidence about officials it bribed in the country.
In mid-December, Peruvian and Brazilian prosecutors, announced that they reached a deal with Brazilian prosecutors and Odebrecht executives in Sao Paulo to allow Brazil's lawyers to interrogate 23 former Peruvian politicians, government officials and Odebrecht executives who previously worked in Peru about 50 allegedly illicit Odebrecht contracts and subsequent kickbacks that took place between 2005 and 2014.
Testimonies were set to be taken between Jan. 14 and 23 in Curitiba, and a formal accord was set to be signed on Jan. 11 between public lawyers and Odebrecht, but Chavarry's dismissing Vela and Perez upset this time table.

UPDATE: Rockawayfest Showcase Announces Change of Venue and the Addition of Local Headliner
April 19, 2013 by Mezzo
With a week to go to the first Rockawayfest Showcase of 2013, Livescape announces the change of concert venue. The special showcase featuring American bands, Coheed and Cambria with special guests Circa Survive will now move from KL Live to the Bentley Music Auditorium in Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya. "We've decided to move to a more intimate venue to bring both bands closer to their fans and the Bentley Music Auditorium is also engineered for better acoustics which we are certain the punters will cherish", said Rahul Kukreja, Director of LIVE Events for Livescape.
In line with their mission of highlighting local talents, Livescape has added Malaysia's post-hard-core phenomenon, Tres Empre into the line-up. "We are very excited to have Macbeth Footwear and one of their endorsees TRES EMPRE opening up for the show, we had them up on stage at Rockaway 2011 and since then, the band has gained a strong fan base. They will also be releasing their album later in the year," he continues.
Since their inception in late 2010, Tres Empre have evolved from being a post-hard-core band to a fluid, dynamic, melodic group that adeptly blends catchy melody, charged rhythmic guitars and ambient moods. In April 2011, the band released their single called, 'Defiance', followed up by their sold-out debut EP entitled Division Of Dreamers in 2012. These fine lads are currently working on their first full-length album, which is scheduled for release at the end of 2013.
This show is the fourth Rockawayfest Showcase organized by Livescape and it is their first collaboration with Singapore's, LAMC Productions. The showcases are smaller scale gigs, which lead up to the finale, Rockaway Festival 2013. Pre-sale tickets at RM120 are still available via AirAsia Redtix and its participating outlets Rock Corner and Victoria Music Centre until 23 April 2013. On concert day, tickets can be bought at the price of RM170.
New York progressive rockers Coheed AND Cambria are touring in their epic two-part, release The Afterman while Circa Survive are out and about promoting their latest album, Violent Waves. Last October, Coheed and Cambria released the latest instalment of their career-spanning Amory Wars saga with Ascension, the first part of their double album The Afterman. Part two of the album, Descension, which made its debut on the 5th of February. Violent Waves is the fourth studio album by Circa Survive and it was released late last year. The album was recorded in a span of a week and proudly produced by the band.

Sarah Hollowell Books In Order
A Dark and Starless Forest (2021) Hardcover Paperback Kindle
Sarah Hollowell is an author who is best known as the author of "A Dark and Starless Forest" her debut. She also became famous for writing a tweet that made Netflix change its preview policy that many people had complained about.
Hollowell went to Ball State University from where she got a creative writing degree before she went on to work in customer service at the same institution. Her debut novel was first published in 2021 to much critical acclaim.
Her work has also been featured in prestigious magazines that include "Fireside Magazine," "The NoSleep Podcast," and "Huffington Post" among many others.
When she is not writing her novels, she can be found volunteering at the "Alpha Workshop," where she teaches teenage authors, listens to all manner of podcasts, raises cats and watches horror movies at night.
In addition to being a leading voice against fatphobia, she has also been involved in campaigning against the discrimination of queer people like herself.
When Sarah Hollowell went to Ball State University, she initially studied anthropology but quit soon after to study creative writing. Once she graduated, she went on to work at Ball State as an administrative coordinator at the Educational Leadership department.
Even though she has a day job, she still did a lot of writing besides the emails she had to write.Hollowell was kept quite busy during this time with work and emails to readers, her publishing team, teachers and booksellers.
As an administrative coordinator, she still had to write a lot of official emails as she was the contact between the Educational Leadership Departments and other departments and organizations both within and without the college.
These usually vary from submission of various approvals, ordering supplies, putting through reimbursements among many other submissions. Her work is all about ensuring that the faculty spends more time teaching rather than dealing with bureaucratic paperwork. Still, she dreams of one day becoming a full time author.
While studying creative writing is a course that usually has a significant influence on later authorship, Hollowell has said that she does not have specific assignments or classes that made her into an author.
Still, she found the course very enjoyable as she learned how to communicate more effectively and how to read and think critically. She also learned how to value her skills and talents and represent herself better. Sarah met many English Department professors that told her to own her skills rather than hide them.
When she finally graduated from college and started working, she sought to glean as much as she could from that too. Her office made it possible to learn valuable skills such as editing and writing, which made it easier to write. All of these significantly contributed to her later career.
It was also there that she learned about being a better literary citizen. As a literary citizen, she will usually network with colleagues as they bounce off both work and extracurricular ideas off of each other.
Sarah Hollowell's debut novel "A Dark and Starless Forest" is a brilliant thriller that opens to a girl having to confront some dark thing. Her siblings have been going missing and she knows it has to do with the growing darkness.
Derry lives with her eight siblings in one of the most isolated houses beside a lake and has no contact with the outside world. Behind their house is a menacing and eerie forest that seems to ever grow darker with each passing day.
Frank, the man who is like a father to them since he raised them when their families abandoned them, tells them they have to live in isolation for their own good. As people with magic he believes nowhere else could be safer.
But when their eldest sister goes missing, Derry is forced to head into the forest even though they had sworn to never go back there their last jaunt there ended in bloody disaster. But then another of her siblings goes missing and Derry thinks Frank is showing his true colors.
She no longer thinks they are safe and intends to do anything in her power, no matter how dangerous to protect her family. Derry may have to return to the forest that has lately been calling to her in voices eerily reminiscent of that of her siblings.
As she spends a lot of time in the forest, her magical powers exponentially increase but so does the darkness and viciousness that she tries to keep under wraps. Embracing her siblings and the darkness of the forest might just be the most dangerous thing she ever did.

1 year, 2 days...
Matt Fraction e-mailed me a reminder Saturday that it had been a year since I updated this thing. Boy, when I called it "the least updated blog in the world" I wasn't kidding. What's more amusing is that so little has changed. Looking back at the February 10th, 2005 post, it feels like I'm still in the same funk I was a year ago and while I know that there have definitely been waves and crests since then, it's still a little troubling to think so much could be the same after a year.
Or maybe it's just the time of year. I suppose it's possible that the dull, grey wetness of Portland in the winter just starts to get to me by this time. I don't know.
