Mark.Space is a Russian company which bills itself, according to its white paper, "an open source platform for the creation of 3D- and VR- compatible online spaces (sites) and objects, powered by Blockchain". Like Decentraland, another blockchain-based virtual world, they are issuing a cryptocurrency in an initial coin offering (ICO) called the MRK.
You can actually go and visit a browser-based demo of Mark.Space at this address: https://demo.mark.space/, where you can point and click your way through a simulated shopping mall, among other places. There's not much to see or do, yet. You use your arrow keys or click the mouse to move around, left-clicking and dragging the mouse to rotate your view. You do get an annoying white screen as the scene redraws every time you click your mouse to move around. It's all 360-degree photographs.
On their Telegram chat, which I recently joined, they announced that they were having a Best Apartment contest, where they were giving out prizes to the people who had done the best job of decorating their free apartments, and sharing the resulting pictures on social media. So I thought I would give it a try.
Choosing a 360-degree photo which represents your empty apartment (walls, windows, floor and ceiling). Not a real three-dimensional space.
Dropping and dragging flat images of furniture around your apartment. Yes, that's right, there are no actual three-dimensional objects, just pictures. The menu does let you "rotate" them, which essentially means flipping the image from left to right.
Rather an underwhelming experience. I think I'll check back in six months to see if anything has progressed since then. If you're interested, you can visit my apartment in your web browser.


Often when I tell people that I focus largely on B2B (business to business) marketing I get a "What does that mean?", and I'm glad people ask. It may partly be my fault for using marketing industry jargon, but it's important to differentiate between marketing strategies targeted at consumers from those targeted at businesses, largely because the end result and the processes are often very different. However, the root reason for doing what we do is very much the same, whether we're selling to consumers or businesses.
If you think about the majority of mass media marketing (television, radio, newspapers, etc.) you're likely thinking about B2C (business to consumer) marketing; a company marketing a product or service to a consumer. The reason that B2C marketers can use platforms like television and radio successfully is that their market is often broad enough that if they're picking the right channel (based on demographical data) the right people will see/hear their message and buy their product. This is called targeting; the part of marketing where B2C and B2B differ a fair bit.
There are many large corporations that fit into the B2C category that don't really "need" to advertise in a traditional sense, as the average person already knows what they generally have to offer. Think about your McDonalds, Coca Cola, Tim Hortons, Budweiser; If we want a Big Mac or a cold 24-pack, we know exactly where to go. So why do these companies continue to spend millions of dollars advertising to people who already know about what they have to offer? Generally it's because even though we know what a company has to offer, there's usually a competitor that's offering something very similar and in order to win this battle a company needs to stay front of mind and appeal to more than a person's sense of practicality.
This is where B2B and B2C marketing start to look very similar. When you stop thinking about stakeholders or superbowl commercials, at the root of all marketing you are trying to appeal to a person's emotional sense of judgement. If you grew up on Coca Cola and you have great memories of diners and french fries and happy times, there's very little chance you're about to switch to Pepsi any day soon, but B2C marketers know that they can get you to drink more Coca Cola if they appeal to your emotions. This is a necessary step that B2C marketers need to take because of the small purchase price of each product. They can't just sell it to you once and go "Our work here is done", they need to sell it to you repeatedly and create millions of lifelong customers to make their business model work.
So how does B2B marketing look similar (yet very different)? I believe a common misconception that people have about B2B marketing is that once you've sold a product to a company, you're done. This could be an understandable thought being that marketing a product to a business takes a lot more time, energy and targeting to get it right. You're going to have to get approval from several stakeholders for a single purchase, and the cost of the product is most definitely going to far surpass the $2 bottle of coke we just talked about. So B2B marketing should be about finding the right lead, approaching them, appealing to their sense of practicality and making the sale, then your work is done, right? Wrong.
A lot of us feel attached to consumer products we've grown accustomed to over the years, brought back by our good memories and repeated reminders from the company. While companies selling to businesses generally don't need buyers to purchase on such a regular basis, they do need to create the same sort of memories and reminders that B2C marketers do. That's because the stakeholders in business buying decisions are the same people that we sell Coca Cola to with feel good commercials. They are one in the same, so should we really expect them to think so differently as businesses than as consumers?
While your targeting may be entirely different for B2B marketing (think cold calling/emailing, PPC ads, SEO, content marketing) the approach once you've attracted the initial interest should be very much the same. There should be triggers within your product (in software, for example) and customer service processes that consistently make your customers feel good about buying your product, the same way a Coca Cola commercial can make a consumer feel good about the bottle they just purchased. That requires B2B marketers to continue to think of customers who have already bought as people who have potential to become repeat customers, the same way B2C marketers do all the time.
As a B2B marketer it's dangerous to get into a trap of telling yourself that once business has been won it doesn't need your attention anymore. And it's true that often the follow up engagement will be done by another person within your company, but marketing should be working very closely with that department to make sure that what brought the customer in in the first place continues to impress them along the course of their relationship with the company. This sort of thinking will help companies to re-sign contracts as well as harness the goodness of referral marketing from happy customers.
Targeting strategies in marketing are very different depending on whether you are selling to consumers or businesses, but when it comes to engaging with your customers, they're very much the same.

3 Things to Know About Vivitrol and Other Medications Used to Treat Alcoholism
Home » Addiction Blog » 3 Things to Know About Vivitrol and Other Medications Used to Treat Alcoholism
Alcohol use disorder, the official name for alcoholism, is estimated to affect 17.6 million people in the United States, according to a report from the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. Each year, there are more than 85,000 deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use. Growing rates of alcoholism and drug addiction have led to the proliferation of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, drugs such as Vivitrol for alcohol, and emergent therapies.
Today, however, there remains no cure for alcoholism.
There are currently only three drugs on the market approved by the FDA for the treatment of alcoholism: Antabuse, Campral, and Vivitrol for alcohol. It isn't unusual for many of our guests to have tried one of these drugs in the past to either stop or control their drinking. Each drug treats alcoholism in a different way.
Here are three things to know if you're considering medication-assisted treatment for alcoholism for yourself or someone you love.
1. You cannot medicate your way out of addiction.
At Discovery Place, our guests are introduced to and immersed in 12-step recovery from the moment they arrive. We are not a rehabilitation or treatment center. We are a spiritual retreat.
In the book Alcoholics Anonymous, the foundational text for the 12-step program Alcoholics Anonymous, the authors write, "Our liquor was but a symptom," and later, "Bottles were only a symbol." Understanding that alcohol and drugs are tools that have been misused and abused to treat a three-part disease—body, mind, and spirit—can often mean the start of a new kind of recovery for many of our guests.
Drugs like Antabuse, Campral, and Vivitrol for alcohol, will not transform an alcoholic into a nonalcoholic. What these drugs may be able to do, when used as part of a larger recovery plan, is help motivated individuals struggling to get any kind of sobriety under their belts lay enough groundwork to become more actively involved in the other parts of their recovery, like a 12-step program.
"It's really hard to get sober when you're drinking," says Dr. Jan A. Mayer, a Nashville-based psychiatrist and expert on addiction. "You can be full of determination in the morning, but by the evening, it's gone. You don't have the brakes to stop."
But medication cannot be the be-all, end-all plan for sobriety. "You can't treat addiction or alcoholism with just medication," adds Dr. Mayer. "I wouldn't suggest using these without conjunction with recovery."
If required, medication can easily be found. Effective recovery, however, is rare.
2. Taking Vivitrol for alcohol is not successful abstinence.
Of the three drugs approved by the FDA to treat alcoholism, only Antabuse is an abstinence-based medication, meaning its intent is to prevent an individual from drinking. Campral, and Vivitrol for alcohol, do not do this.
Antabuse, or disulfiram, is taken in pill-form daily and works by blocking the enzyme that allows alcohol to be metabolized. If an individual drinks while taking Antabuse, he will become violently ill: nausea, severe vomiting, headaches, chest pain, dizziness. It's like a hangover, but worse. Even coming in contact with aftershave on the skin can trigger a mild reaction.
If an individual taking Antabuse wants to start drinking again, all he has to do is stop taking the medication and wait about five days.
Vivitrol, or naltrexone, is an opioid antagonist. (It was also approved for the treatment of opioid addiction in 2010.) Taken orally each day or by monthly injection, Vivitrol works to block the opioid receptors, or pleasure centers, in the brain. In effect, alcohol can't get to them and the reward center is not activated. This reduces the craving to drink and also eliminates the euphoric or reward-based feelings that accompany drinking. Unlike Antabuse, Vivitrol isn't designed to stop an individual from drinking by bringing on negative side effects. If an individual drinks while taking Vivitrol, the experience, positive or negative, is essentially canceled out.
Campral, or acamprosate calcium, is designed to reduce the positive response to drinking and thus reduce cravings. An individual can still drink while taking this drug.
Like Antabuse, and Vivitrol for alcohol, Campral is only effective when it's taken. That might seem obvious, but to many family members or loved ones looking to these drugs as a potential lifeline to the alcoholic in their life, it's important to note that these drugs work best when an individual is actually motivated to quit drinking, not just cut back or moderate. An active alcoholic is unlikely to be personally motivated to change, however, there are proper practices for how to help an alcoholic.
3. There is no cure for alcoholism.
There's not much we haven't seen or heard at Discovery Place. In fact, since nearly every staff member at Discovery Place is also an alum, it's very likely we've tried it too. And often the last thing most people want to try is the thing we have found to be most effective: 12-step recovery.
We offer a community of men who know the disease of alcoholism firsthand and who, today, no longer have a desire to drink. Over the past three years, more than 60 percent of Discovery Place alumni report they are one year sober following their 30-, 60-, or 90-day stay with us.
There is no pill or shot that will cure alcoholism. What we do at Discovery Place is treat the mind, body, and spirit through the practice of spiritual principles (things like honesty, willingness, humility, and courage). We give men the foundation they need to obtain and sustain long-term sobriety.

The world's top leaders, including Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili are now in Davos, Switzerland to participate in the World Economic Forum and shape global, regional and industry agendas for 2017.
The forty-seventh annual meeting of the World Economic Forum will be held between January 17- 20 under the slogan 'Responsive and Responsible Leadership'.
One of the biggest themes at this year's event concerns how the political and infrastructure investments into a modern Silk Road are affecting economic growth and interconnectedness across Asia and Europe.
Top officials discussed this issue today at the session 'The Silk Road Effect', where PM Kvirikashvili delivered a speech to session participants.
The Georgian PM believes further economic integration among Silk Road countries, as well as with other world economies, is essential for increasing the contribution of those countries to the global economy.
PM Kvirikashvili emphasised the importance of Georgia's engagement in the 'One Belt-One Road' project initiative of the President of China.
It is a network of different alternatives, and each of them is important for the growth of a healthy economy in Eurasia. This is about competition and cooperation at the same time. It is more about cooperation, however. As mentioned by President [of Azerbaijan Ilham] Aliyev, the Silk Road brings with it enormous opportunities, but there are certain prerequisites in order to get the most of it in order to leverage on existing potential," said Kvirikashvili.
First of all is, of course, infrastructure. Second is stability across countries. This is about cooperation, cross-border procedures, and the unification of tariff systems. Of course, this is about political cooperation and has multifold dimensions", he added.
Kvirikashvili said Georgia has already signed cooperation agreements with its partner states.
"The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad project is nearing completion, being an important segment of the Silk Road going through Georgia to Azerbaijan and Turkey. Meanwhile, we are launching the construction of one of the largest ports on the Black Sea, which is the Anaklia Deeo Sea Port. We already have a winning consortium, a Georgian-American consortium, and they are looking for port operators in the region", said Kvirikashvili.
"We are modernising our railway and increasing its speed. We are investing much in road infrastructure. Of course, we are cooperating with other countries across the Silk Road. We already signed a cooperation agreement with China. We have completed free trade negotiations with China, and we will sign the free trade agreement in the nearest future", he added.
"In a nutshell, the Silk Road is about borderless cooperation. It is very important to mention that this economy is not only about transportation. This is about manufacturing cooperation and logistics", the PM stated.

Omg I can't believe I'm posting this but what the hell. My heart will explode if I don't do this, so here goes:
I'm a fan of Maymay Entrata. And Edward Barber. MayWard. There. I said it.
I never thought the time would come when I would actually grab my phone and vote for a housemate. Well, two housemates because it was so difficult to choose between Maymay and Edward. Sure, all housemates are deserving but there's just something about these two. I still find it weird whenever I browse through articles and videos just so I can know more about them. The wacky-go-lucky from Cagayan De Oro and the cheerful charmer from Germany is what they're called, and the viewers of the longest running reality TV show, Pinoy Big Brother witnessed how these two transitioned from complete strangers to being the best of friends. Say what you want to say about MayWard but for me, I can only confess that my dimples hurt when I watch them because seriously, how can you not?
(c) Magandang Buhay
I have to admit I was so annoyed when I first saw Maymay. She's so noisy, she lacks finesse, and her mouth is too big. However, I must admit that the more I watched the show, the more I learned to appreciate her. Behind that bubbly persona is a simple girl who's determined to go for her dreams. She puts her mind and heart into everything that she does and I guess that's the reason why she's the big winner. A lot of people may mock her for her Bisaya accent, looks, and whatever but she doesn't mind. She knows what she wants. I remember telling my mom that I envy Maymay because she pays no attention to the negative things that people say about her. Okay maybe she does, but only to a certain extent. Areas of improvement are considered, pure bashing is tossed out the window and that's exactly how it should be. I learned once that when you open your heart to the world, the world gives all the love it can give and maybe that's the case with Maymay. Inhale love, exhale love.
We then go to Edward Barber. I first thought that the reason why he's given so much airtime is because of his good looks. Well, there's some truth to that but I have to say that there's more to Edward than just looks. He's a gentleman. He opens doors for girls, helps out with the chores, and he remains to be that voice of reason when there's conflict inside the house. He loves his family, and he's never ashamed to tell people how close he is to his mom and his sister. I also like how he defended Maymay when some of the housemates teased him for hanging out with her too much, and how he makes it a point to be there for her no matter what. It's also interesting that out of all the housemates, he understands Maymay the most and vice versa. He never judged Maymay for the way she speaks or acts, and although he teases her a lot, he also makes it a point to tell her that she's beautiful. If a romantic relationship becomes a possibility for both of them in the future, I wouldn't be surprised. For now, I choose to enjoy how their lives will pan out. Big things are bound to happen for these two, no doubt about that.
I have to admit, there are times when I feel bad for the both of them. Aside from being pressured to become a couple after confessing that they do have feelings for each other, they also have to deal with a lot of bashers every single day. While it does come with the package, I can't help but wish that people would just back off and give them some space because 1) they're still trying to adjust, 2) it's not their fault that a lot of people can relate to their story and 3)you can't blame them for being too comfortable with each other. People like that are a rare find these days and I think that MayWard happened to be at the right place and time. Their souls were destined to meet and you know it.
As for Maymay, it's not her fault that there are people who find her beautiful (Edward, included) in spite of her dark skin, big eyes, and small frame. I actually find people who mock her physical features pathetic. We're Filipinos, and our natural skin color is brown. Our obsession with being mestizos and mestizas happened when we were colonized but that's for another blog entry. What I'm trying to say is that we really need to change our definition of beauty.
In a world where women are forced to fit into a certain mold and programmed to act a certain way, Maymay Entrata managed to break all the rules by simply being herself. She's not a mestiza, and she does not have the curves that the society expects from women, she laughs out loud during interviews and that's okay. This girl from Mindanao has so many gifts that she's ready to share to the world, her inner beauty radiates, and she has a lot of heart. That, more than anything, is what makes a big winner.
I read somewhere that the fans and supporters of MayWard are hampaslupas and I guess I'm one of them. Seriously though, the world has a lot to learn from Edward Barber and Maymay Entrata. It may seem a bit jeje for some, but if you just look beyond the likes, tweets, follows, TV ratings, endorsements, and online bashing, you'll understand that MayWard is more than just a love team. These are actual people with big dreams. They're both set to become the people they were destined to be and that, for me, is enough reason to support them.
Padayon ug salamat sa inspirasyon, MayWard. Skrengge (whatever that means, hehe)!

At What Cost? Mairghread Scott Talks Magic, Macbeth, And 'The Third Witch' [Interview]
Juliet Kahn
What comes to mind when you think of Shakespeare's Macbeth? There's a good chance the three witches are high on your list, with alll their double, double, toil and trouble. Beyond their brewing, however, they're a relatively anonymous bunch — until now.
Mairghread Scott, with Kelly and Nichole Matthews on art, plans to bring the mysterious three to brilliant new life in The Third Witch, on sale September 2nd from Boom's Archaia imprint. Riata, Cait, and Smertae have been the unseen force behind Scotland's kings for countless years. When a disagreement erupts between the sisters, however, their fell powers threaten to change the course of history. ComicsAlliance sat down with Scott to talk Shakespeare, magic, and music to write witches to.
ComicsAlliance: So, here's the obvious question: Why Macbeth?
Mairghread Scott: I've always had a pretty strong connection to the play itself. My dad was a Shakespeare nut and I'm a Scottish kid whose mom had a C-Section, so there were a lot of Macbeth jokes thrown my way as a child.
But, also, Macbeth doesn't get a lot of love from the Shakespeare crowd, even though I think it's his most cinematic play. I wanted to explore all those mysterious incidents in the background of the play. I wanted to showcase the amazing visuals --- floating daggers, fierce storms, visions and magic --- you can't see onstage. I wanted to answer the question that always nagged me: the witches set this whole play off with their prophesy, and their second prophesy drives the entire second half of the play, but why do they do it? Why are they so invested in Macbeth?
CA: Fresh takes on old classics are always a gamble, but one that can pay off handsomely — Wide Sargasso Sea, March, and comics' own Ody-C are widely praised. What will your take on Macbeth bring to the table?
MS: The Third Witch tells a completely new story layered over the story of Macbeth. Our main character, Smertae, is literally just called "Third Witch" in the play, but our entire story revolves around her struggle with her sisters and her fight to prove Macbeth is a worthy king. Since that's our focus, even people who have no knowledge of the play can read our book.
Kelly and Nicole Matthews and I also worked hard to portray the world the real Macbeth actually lived in --- 11th century Scotland. The Third Witch is a very grounded, human story --- despite all the crazy and sometimes horrifying magic --- and so we wanted the reader to feel like they were stepping into real people's lives, not watching a performance on the stage. And just like in real life, the heroes and villains are a lot more complicated than they seem.
CA: What's it like tackling such a beloved classic? Is intimidation a factor — or is there a certain excitement in remixing such an icon of literature?
MS: Intimidation is definitely there, but I love Shakespeare and it breaks my heart when people see his work as this high-and-mighty, untouchable thing only academics can enjoy. Macbeth is a visceral, passionate story and The Third Witch is a visceral, passionate story with Macbeth at its heart. I hope that people who read our book will be inspired to go back and read/watch the play. Maybe they'll even imagine Smertae and Riata lurking in the background.
CA: Witches are having a bit of a "moment" in entertainment right now. What drew you to them? What makes them such a perennial favorite among storytellers?
MS: I've worked on this idea off and on for almost a decade, so the fact that witches are in vogue is pure serendipity.
I can't speak of other storytellers, but part of the reason I'm drawn to these witches is the fact that I'm pagan myself and I'm really tired of witches being portrayed in a very Christian manner (either the Harry Potter style, which is really drawing on Occidental types of magic developed long after paganism was stamped out, or as demon-worshiping monsters). If I was going to write witches, I wanted them to write them more in line with actual druidic, wiccan, and pagan beliefs (at least as I was raised and researched to see them).
One of the most interesting lessons I learned growing up was the idea of cost. My priests(esses) didn't have the idea of sin, the sense of X activity being forbidden. That there was a line in the moral sand. Instead, they taught me that every action has a consequence, a cost. The more destructive/selfish the act, the higher the cost. Sometimes in obvious ways,eg. "I stole from my sister and now she won't speak to me," sometimes in less obvious ways, eg. "A millionaire stealing from his employees' pension fund is a man who clearly cannot feel secure no matter how much money he has. His greed is just as much his punishment as it is his crime."
Of course, the witches of The Third Witch aren't like actual witches; they are supernatural beings wielding demi-god level power. But one of the central questions of The Third Witch is, "How high a price are you willing to pay for what you want in life," and that's a question I think is worth exploring.
CA: You've worked in TV as well as comics — what's making that jump like? What can you do in comics that you can't in TV, and vice versa?
MS: There's definitely a learning curve to writing comics. There are things in animation that make for terrible comics --- example: you can't draw someone punching someone and leaping over them in the same panel --- and things in comics that make for boring animation --- example: putting the text of a newspaper headline on screen. But they also complement each other very well.
I think writing animation makes my comics a bit more movement-focused and fast-paced. I can also really capture a character's voice in dialog. Working in comics has also helped me hone in on those iconic moments/shots you remember even after an episode is over. I wouldn't want to give up doing either of them.
Kelly and Nichole Matthews--Not Final Art
CA: In terms of your previous comics work, you've written for Transformers and Swords of Sorrow — but this is an original, creator-owned series. What are the joys and challenges of diving into something entirely new?
MS: The biggest challenge was that I prefer to work in a framework. My favorite comics explore those little, hidden stories we thought we knew or ask questions we didn't think to ask before. So it was natural for me to do the same thing with Macbeth. Along the way, I was able to develop what I hope is an original, grounded and touching story about three women trying to stay relevant to their world and trying to hold their pseudo-family together. Telling their story in the framework of Macbeth just made it that much more of a challenge.
CA: In putting your own spin on Macbeth, you're also bringing it to an entirely different medium. What has it been like translating the events of a play to comics?
MS: Well, we're able to do quite a bit more in terms of special effects than Shakespeare was. So we're a much more visual story than Macbeth. There are things I had to pick and choose. Would I write in iambic pentameter? No. It looks stilted on the page and is... honestly... way too hard to do. Should I add every scene of Macbeth to The Third Witch? No. This is their story layered over the play, not just a direct adaptation of the play. Things like that.
I think the biggest change you'll notice is that Scotland itself becomes a real character in The Third Witch. The Matthews sisters do a great job showing off the natural beauty of this country and making you feel like you're entering a real space. They also have a very cinematic style and can really pull your eye across a page in a way that a stageplay is going to have a much harder time doing. Put those together, and The Third Witch has a very intimate, immersive feeling. You're not watching the action from 20 feet away. You're right there in the middle of it.
CA: The witches don't get very much focus in the original Macbeth — you've had to do most of the heavy lifting yourself on them as characters. What has that process been like?
MS: Wonderful, and a little mind-boggling, because I'm trying to make sure the story I wanted to tell still lines up with the plot points of the story Shakespeare already told. I had my three copies of Macbeth out to make sure I was acknowledging what happened in the play, but beyond that I was free to run wild. These characters are so striking, it was fun to pull them apart and see what makes them tick.
They ended up developing into really distinct women. Smertae, our red-headed main character, is the middle child, so to speak. She's a really passionate woman, whose emotions are always at eleven. She cares deeply and she has absolutely no poker-face. She's a joy to write.
Cait, the oldest even though she looks like a child, has this wicked sense of humor and a very tender, down-to-earth feel. She's the grandmother that's lived long enough to know what really matters and not to take herself too seriously.
Finally, the group's leader Riata is the most analytical of the bunch and she takes everything seriously. She sees her job as requiring a level of impartiality that Smertae doesn't have.
Kelly and Nichole Matthews - not final art
CA: Are there any particular influences — comics, plays, movies, or otherwise — coming to bear upon The Third Witch?
MS: We did a ton of research, so there are a lot of little historical details in the clothing, landscape, mindset and language of our characters that make our world feel totally unique. I drew a lot of inspiration from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining in terms of tension, pacing and the unflinching way he does horror without jump-scares (anyone else remember the lady in the bathtub --- that messed me up). But my largest source of inspiration was the songs I play over and over while I write. So, below is my The Third Witch inspiration playlist.
Trout Heart Replica by Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra: This is Smertae's song for me. The flow of the piano and that endless rise and fall create the feeling of being on the rolling waves of the ocean. The singer's voice goes from a song to a whisper, to a plea, to a scream. These are things I wanted in The Third Witch. This range of pain and fear. Best lyric: "Killing things is not so hard, it's hurting that's the hardest part."
Rocks and Water by Deb Talan: This song is Cait's song. She's the oldest of the witches and the simplicity of this song, the imperfections in it, remind me of that age. It's also a song that juxtaposes these ancient, hard things in a loving way. The repeating phrase is about the singer becoming rocks and water and leaving that power to her child. The little shiver this song inspires, that feeling that you almost understand it but can't quite, that's what I want for the magic used in The Third Witch. Best lyric: "Don't trust anyone who looks you in the eye."
Take me to Church by Hozier: This is Riata for me. The formality of the song (it has a lot of gospel elements), is perfect for her ritualistic mindset. There's no hiding the naked brutality of this song, but there's comfort here as well. It's also a song that fights itself too, contrasting Christianity and Paganism just as Riata is in a direct conflict with the rapidly Christianizing/modernizing world around her. Best lyric: "This is hungry work"
Ghost by Ella Henderson: This is my overarching song for the book itself. It's been on the radio a lot, I know, but its repetition and subject remind me so much of the characters in The Third Witch. As we go through the book, you'll realize just how trapped and haunted these people are. Who will let go of these ghost, these past pains, becomes a crucial question in The Third Witch. Best Lyric: "I keep going to the river to pray, 'cause I need something that will wash all the pain."
CA: Finally, brag a little: why will audiences fall in love with The Third Witch?
MS: Because I did. Because Kelly and Nichole Matthews did and I think you can feel that love in every page. We designed this book to be something you could re-read over and over again. We pulled information from archaeology to mythology to build something truly special. This story isn't easy, or neat, or clean. It will probably rip out your heart in places. But so does Shakespeare. At least we're in good company.

Drug induced phospholipidosis (PLD) may be observed in the preclinical phase of drug development and pose strategic questions. As lysosomes have a central role in pathogenesis of PLD, assessment of lysosomal concentrations is important for understanding the pharmacokinetic basis of PLD manifestation and forecast of potential clinical appearance. Herein we present a systematic approach to provide insight into tissue-specific PLD by evaluation of unbound intracellular and lysosomal (reflecting acidic organelles) concentrations of two structurally related diprotic amines, GRT1 and GRT2. Their intratissue distribution was assessed using brain and lung slice assays. GRT1 induced PLD both in vitro and in vivo. GRT1 showed a high intracellular accumulation that was more pronounced in the lung, but did not cause cerebral PLD due to its effective efflux at the blood-brain barrier. Compared to GRT1, GRT2 revealed higher interstitial fluid concentrations in lung and brain, but more than 30-fold lower lysosomal trapping capacity. No signs of PLD were seen with GRT2. The different profile of GRT2 relative to GRT1 is due to a structural change resulting in a reduced basicity of one amino group. Hence, by distinct chemical modifications, undesired lysosomal trapping can be separated from desired drug delivery into different organs. In summary, assessment of intracellular unbound concentrations was instrumental in delineating the intercompound and intertissue differences in PLD induction in vivo and could be applied for identification of potential lysosomotropic compounds in drug development.


Frequency – Day Two & Three.
Friday started with a little dissapointment: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club had canceled. But, this things happen, what can you do. Next stop on our list were the Klaxons but they didn't really hit us. But – great thing when you are on a festival – there is always another band playing on another stage in walking distance so we tried our luck with Yeasayer. And they were a lot of fun – really good and fun music to watch and to dance to.
And then the first main act of the day entered the stage: LCD Soundsystem. To my shame I have to admit, that I've never heard about them before – and I cannot thank Sebastian enough for introducing me to this great project! They rocked the festival crowed extremely and I still catch myself singing "Pow pow pow pow pow…". James Murphy is amazing and his live band is superb! Can't wait to see them hopefully soon again!
Then our evening held a very difficult decision for us: Massive Attack OR Tocotronic? Sebastian wanted to see Massive Attack – I wanted to see both. But as very very old and faithful Tocotronic fan I also couldn't bare the thought to not go to see them. But my beloved partner in crime and knight in shining armor agreed to go with me and see Tocotronic – although I knew his heart burnt a little bit. But: Tocotronic was great!
I've seen them several times and for the first time I saw them playing "Bitte gebt mir meinen Verstand zurück" sung by Mr. Arne Zank! And this really made it worthwile! And there were more big hits like "Let there be Rock", "Imitationen", "Mein Ruin", "Drüben auf dem Hügel", "Die Idee ist gut doch die Welt noch nicht so weit" (von Dirk als "modern classic" passend betitelt), "Jungs hier kommt der Masterplan" and a lot more that culminated in "Freiburg". Dirk was wearing his Buffy T-Shirt and was a little bit more of a diva then I remembered from last time – but I love them! It's like scrolling an old photo album for me… I was perfectly happy.
Well… for day three there was only one band left for us: Element of Crime. The last time we both had seen them was 2006 in Wattenscheid, Germany – almost exactly 4 years ago. It's a little bit frightening how time flies. Anyway – they played a great concert, only some of the festival crowd were extremely annoying during this wonderful evening.
But that's the same old story with festivals – there are always people who give a crap for the band that's playing up there. And if it is a loud act like LCD Soundsystem or Muse it doesn't matter how much they moan and scream. But if it is a more quiet act like Element Of Crime – the rest of the audience is having a hard time. But they shut up eventually and Mr. Sven Regener and his partners in crime made a perfect last festival act for us.
Zu Beginn des Sommers kam man in Nordrhein-Westfalen ja beim Besuch von allseitsbekannten Buchläden kaum um den, mit grünen Büchern ausstaffierten und deshalb zusätzlich ins Auge stechenden, Tisch herum auf dem in hundertfacher Kopie Sven Regeners letztes Meisterwerk "Neue Vahr Süd" auslag. Da greift man dann auch gerne zu. Also gekauft, gelesen und für sehr sehr gut befunden – für unterhaltsam, witzig und trotz stattlichem Umfang äußerst kurzweilig!
Nach diesem Erfolgserlebnis und extrem guten Remineszenzen an den Film, greift man natürlich im Weiteren auch gleich mal zu "Herr Lehmann" in Buchform. Das kommt mit einigen Seiten weniger daher und schaut neben "Neue Vahr Süd" fast schon aus wie eines von den dünnen Donald Duck Heften… Macht aber nix. Gefallen hat's trotzdem. Auch wenn es eher ein Nachteil ist, den Film bereits zu kennen wie ich glaube, da sich Buch und Film sehr sehr ähnlich sind und man auch nicht endlos viel Neues entdecken kann. Man hat sich da sehr an die Vorlage gehalten und so findet man nur ab und an Unterschiede zum Film. Man darf sich aber gegen Ende auch noch ein wenig überraschen lassen.
Wer also das Komplettbild haben möchte sollte sich den "Herr Lehmann" schonmal gönnen. Muss aber nicht sein wenn man ohnehin schon den Film kennt.
Jetzt hoffe ich mal das Herr Regener bald mal wieder Zeit findet für einen neuen Roman!! Wir warten gespannt.

Overlord III TV anime reveals new English-subtitled PV
Persona 5 asks fans to behave in pilgrimage sites after some show rude behavior
Whenever you're visiting a place that you're not familiar with, it's best to show your best behavior. The same also rings true for anime fans, especially when they're visiting anime pilgrimage sites. However, recently, it seems that a few Persona 5 fans have been misbehaving in some of these sites which both the game and the anime featured. This then prompted the anime and game franchise's official website to tell fans to behave themselves properly.
The game takes place in Tokyo, and features several real-life areas. And naturally, withe the success of the game, as well as the TV anime, fans of the franchise flocked to these areas. And while the website didn't state which of these pilgrimage sites was affected, it told fans several specific behaviors they couldn't do there. This includes accessing some business facilities and just loiter there, taking pictures where it's not allowed, throwing trash properly, and not damaging property.
The staff posted the request in both Japanese and English, and here is the announcement:
Greetings from the Persona PR team!
Since the release of 'Persona 5', there have been many users visiting areas based on real-world areas in the game, which itself is no issue; however, we have unfortunately been seeing some acts that are troubling the locals.
We sincerely ask that you please keep in mind social manners during your travels, and to not:
– Enter facilities for purposes other than using its services
– Take photographs in places that prohibit it
– Leave rubbish lying around
– Cause damage to a property
In order for those who played 'PERSONA 5' and/or those who are watching 'PERSONA 5: The Animation' to comfortably enjoy the experience without causing an inconvenience for others, your understanding and cooperation would be truly and greatly appreciated.
While anime tourists help revitalize several areas in Japan such as Oarai (Girls und Panzer) and Chichibu (AnoHana), it's still best to respect the locals who live there. Remember when those vandals defaced Love Live man holes in Numazu, prompting the city to pull them out? There's a possibility that several areas might ban anime pilgrims because of poor behavior. So guys, remember, behave.

Synopsis: The summer's cold wind blasted in Simon's face as he stepped out onto the front porch, turning to make sure the door was closed tight behind him. Heavy clouds of putrid yellow rippled across the sky, like the famed northern lights, which no longer appeared to delight and awe those lucky enough to see them. The wind, cold and foreboding, made the summers unpleasant. Simon's mother told him of summers she enjoyed camping and swimming at the lake. Simon shuddered. At minus 16 degrees, the thought of swimming in the lake seemed downright absurd. Of course before the deep freeze set in, anything was possible.

Zealand Pharma carries out Phase 1 clinical trial for SBS treatment
ZP7570 may be regarded as the next gen in the treatment and will help the SBS patients worldwide to understand the full potential of intestinal rehabilitation.
The Denmark based- Zealand Pharma, a biotechnology company involved in the discovery and development of peptide-based medicines has reportedly announced the dosing of the first subject in Phase 1 clinical trial of ZP7570, a potential treatment for SBS (short bowel syndrome).
As per trusted sources, ZP7570 is a dual GLP-1 / GLP-2 peptide medication that aims at managing and curing SBS. It may be regarded as the next gen in the treatment and will help the SBS patients worldwide to understand the full potential of intestinal rehabilitation.
For the record, GLP-2 improves the absorbing capacity of the intestines, while, GLP -1 apparently reduces the gastrointestinal motility. The medicinal properties in ZP7570 may allow the treatment of other gastrointestinal diseases.
Adam Steensberg, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical and Development officer, Zealand Pharma was quoted stating that the company is determined to change the lives of people affected with SBS. Additionally, the company also seeks positive results from its Phase 3 clinical trial with glepaglutide, a best-in-class long-acting GLP-2 analog for the treatment of the syndrome. The initiation of the first phase trial with ZP7570, a dual GLP-1 / GLP-2 acting peptide, will mark an extremely important step taken by Zealand to innovate and discover medications in the effective treatment of SBS for patients, he further claimed.
Reportedly, SBS is a critical condition associated with complete loss of intestinal function. Patients are usually connected to pumps and infusion lines everyday, which further restricts the person's ability to carry out daily activities. The patients diagnosed with SBS are prone to life-threatening diseases like liver damage, blood clots, sepsis and renal impairment.
Zealand Pharma's clinical study is a double bind, placebo-controlled and single dose trial on 64 healthy subjects, randomized to ZP7570, the properties of which may also allow for therapeutic opportunities in many other gastrointestinal devises.

Founded: 1895, Stadium: London Stadium (London), Capacity: 60,000
Founded originally by workers from a shipyard and ironworks on the Thames. They moved to the Boleyn Ground in 1904, which remained their home ground until 2016, when they moved to the London Stadium. West Ham have been winners of the FA Cup three times: 1964, 1975 and 1980. The club have reached two major European finals, winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965 and finishing runners-up in the same competition in 1976. Their supporters are famous for their rendition of "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles". West Ham have strong rivalries with several other clubs. Most of these are with other London clubs, especially with Tottenham Hotspur in an East versus North London derby and with Chelsea in an East versus West London rivalry. The oldest and fiercest rivalry is however with Millwall. The two side are local rivals having both formed originally around local companies, with players living in the same localities. In their crest, the principal element of the badge is the crossed pair of rivet hammers, tools that were used in the shipbuilding industry. A yellow or white tower was added from the 1950s onwards. The primary reason for this seems to represent Anne Boleyn's Tower which stood next to Boleyn Ground until demolished in 1955. A new badge was introduced following the end of the 2015-16 season, when the club moved into the Olympic Stadium. It removes the Boleyn Castle due to the club moving away, leaving just the crossed hammers. The shape of the crest is that of the hull of HMS Warrior, the first warship in the Royal Navy, which was built by Thames Ironworks.

Cock Worshipper – Part 2
analsex 1 Aralık 2022 0
The continuation of my story…
So I was 16 when I got a job at a hotel, of which I won't give the name, but I'll just say that now it is a Holiday Inn, but was a different hotel when I worked there. I worked in the formal restaurant as a busboy and also a room service waiter, mostly on weekends, holidays and all the time during summer vacation.
There was a cook there who was Latino, in his 40's, married with like four kids. He was such a perv and I loved it, the way he always was hitting on all the waitresses and girls working there. This was back in 1989, so sexual harassment wasn't as big as it is now and neither were the laws so strict about minors working. I thought I should throw that part in because I will go on to talk about the double shifts I was working.
So Rafael, the perv Latino cook was working one Sunday. It was just after the breakfast rush and the waitresses had gone home and he was the only one working in the kitchen. I was working on the other side rolling silverware into napkins and kept checking him out. He was boiling hot dogs at the time, literally. He knew I flirted with him and so on that particular afternoon he got my attention there and waved a half-cooked hot dog in front of his crotch and said "you like it?" I was pretty surprised at first, but grinned and nodded. So, he got me to follow him into the dry storage room in the back and had me get on my knees so he could face fuck me. I remember he smelled like a kitchen and he was so nasty the way he grabbed my head and fucked my mouth hard with his dark, uncut prick, until he pushed his cock into my throat and pumped some acidy seed down it. After that, we resumed our work, but Ankara bayan escort he first said that if I ever told anyone, he'd kill me. Ummm, okay…
But that wasn't the only encounter with Rafael, as he got me into the other building (the hotel was 2 buildings with a connector between them on the 3rd floor) a few times and took me to the catering kitchen when it was closed so I could suck his dick and one time he even fucked me and came up my ass. I went back to work with my ass feeling slimy and nasty, but somehow it managed to turn me on just the same. He also got me into an empty conference room once for some head. Yes, he was pretty active with it. Unfortunately, it didn't stop too well, after I protected my good friend Becky who I went to school with and got a job there. Rafael wouldn't stop harassing her and it got me mad and I told him to leave her alone. He was pretty lame when he decided to hold a butter knife to my throat and said that "Rebecca" (as he'd say rolling his "r"'s) was his and to back off. So, the sex stopped with us and he got a slap on the hand by the manager for harassing Becky. Whatever, it was fun while it lasted.
I also was propositioned by a man somewhere in his 50's, a travelling businessman who I delivered a tray of food to one night. He offered me fifty bucks to come back after my shift. So, I did. At the time I didn't even feel bad when I went outside to tell my dad who was waiting to give me a ride home, that I had to work another half hour or so. Then I went to the man's room (don't remember his name). He answered the door with a bit of a buzz on and in white shirt and his briefs. He got me to make out with him and I remember tasting the booze when he did. Escort bayan Ankara He then got me onto the bed and climbed on top of me to fuck my mouth, which lasted about 2 minutes and then he popped his wad all over my face. So, at least dad didn't have to wait too long until I came back out to go home!
I also had to work some double-shifts there, where I'd bus tables in the evening which would end at around 2am and then have to get up and go to work the breakfast rush, starting at 7am. So, the hotel would "comp" me a room for the night. So, I knew of a gay local phone line for guys to meet from the newspaper and so I called it. I talked to a few men, but one night in my room there, I got a man to come to the hotel for some fun. His name was Evan and he worked at a liquor store on Castro and Market, which is still there, but maybe under a different name now, next to the gas station on the hilly side of Castro. We got naked and sucked each other's cocks, and then I let him fuck me. He was very slow and gentle going in, but then as he got more heated he started pumping and jamming it into me. I was loving it and didn't want it to stop. He fucked me for a good amount of time and then finally he pulled out and blew his load all over my stomach and chest. It was so hot. I was hoping to see him again but we didn't stay in contact. Looking back, he knew I was 16 and wanted to play it safe. I don't blame him!
Also when I was 16, I switched schools, it was my sophomore year. It was due to being harassed by other boys at school and I was having a hard time academically, so it seemed like a good idea (but I ended up going back to my old school for Jr. and Senior year, which wasn't too bad).
At Bayan escort Ankara the new school, I met a guy named Steve, who was my age. He was pale skinned, tall, skinny, had pimples and dark black hair. He was also a total freak for being 16 and would fuck anything with a pulse. He would stay over at our house some weekends and liked to jack off as we'd talk about him having oral and anal sex with my mom, who he had the hots for. I'd encourage him all the way, as his way of thinking was such a turn-on.
Then finally one weekend his mom was away so we had a "party" at the apartment they lived in. It was fun, we all drank beer and Jack Daniels that the girls there got some older guys to buy. Well, by the end of the night, I was the only one left. Steve was drunk and wanted to take a bath, so he went into the bathroom. After he was in the tub, he called me in there and asked me to put my mouth on his dick while he was in the tub. So, I had no problem with that and got onto my knees and leaned over the tub. But I was stunned when he decided to piss in my mouth! I meant to pull my head back but he held it in place and so I obliged, it wasn't so bad after all. He then grew semi hard and had me suck his cock for quite a while, but he was a bit too hammered to cum.
He did let me suck his cock a few more times when he'd stay over our house some weekends and he'd fantasize and talk about screwing my mom and about how big her tits were and how he'd love to fuck between them. It was hot. I was sad when he moved to live with his dad in Springfield, Missouri in the summer after that year. I still wonder how he's doing. A mutual friend said he'd moved back when we were in our 20's but I didn't pursue contacting him.
So, those were my adventures at the age of 16, but there's plenty more where that came from, we've only started to get into my story! Hope you're enjoying it.

Robert Macaire is preparing a student for the main French exam, the baccalauréat. Robert Macaire may seem to be a realistic figure, however one should remember that in reality he is an artificial personality, created in 1823 by Benjamin Antier for his play " L'Auberge des Adrets". The breakthrough came in 1834, when Frédéric Lemaitre used the names of Macaire and his somewhat simple partner Serres-Bertrand for his various comedies in Paris. The figure of Macaire goes back as far as 1371, when - as the legend goes - Aubri de Montdidier, a nobleman from the court of Charles V was assassinated by Macaire. The murder was vindicated by his dog, the only witness of the assassination. A duel between the dog and Macaire, who was armed with a cudgel, should settle the case. The dog killed Macaire, who confessed the murder before he died. Philipon was the author of all the texts of this series. It should be noted that Daumier did not monogram or sign the prints, presumable because Philipon wanted to document his position as author of the texts and as "inventor" of the series.


The clicking is deafening! – "netdud" "blogs" on the "Ineternets"
I've been updating my Link Din stuff.
Every interaction with someone causes Link Din to automatically prompt you to send a thank you message.
If they actually want this stuff to mean anything, they should make the default messages really rude. That way, you'd have to actually go in and change them to something you really mean. You'd have to actually BE polite, instead of having a chunk of code pretend you are.
And if you just clicked and sent the default, someone would get a message that says "I don't need your endorsement, you ugly turnip-interfering squat!" and immediately know that the person sent it automatically.
Even typing out the most rudimentary "THX 4 the Ndorsnt" shows more engagement than clicking on one of the three words in Link Din messenger.
If you don't think about it, there's no difference between being rude and being polite.
*not as rude a sentence as it looks.
