Ieva Saudargaitė Douaihi (b.1988) Ieva Saudargaitė Douaihi (b.1988) is a Lithuanian-Lebanese photographer and artist based in Beirut. She grew up between Lithuania, the United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon, and studied Architecture at the Lebanese American University in Byblos and the École Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris. Informed by her background in architecture, her artistic practice spans varied media. Through materiality, sequencing, choice of medium or location, her work explores how seemingly mundane materials, gestures, artefacts, and scenes engage with the status quo. In 2021, she received both the Boghossian Foundation Award for Photography and the ADPP Mentorship Award. She
also co-founded Digital Fountain, an online photography platform. In 2017, she collaborated with architect and designer Roula Salamoun on the multi-sensory installation Nationmetrix, for which they received the 2019 Arte Laguna ARS Prize. Her work has been exhibited internationally at the Institut du Monde Arabe, Paris, France (2019 and 2021); the Middle East Institute in Washington, US (2020); the Lebanese Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Italy (2019); and Mediterranea 18, Tirana, Albania (2018). She has additionally shown work at various spaces in Beirut, including La Vitrine (2020); Beit Beirut (2020 and 2019); Sursock Museum (2019); Beirut Art Center (2018); and Beirut Art Fair (2018 and 2019). Her first monograph, Beirut, Naked City (Medawar Editions) was published in 2019.

This is one of those shots where I didn't stick to my original plan. I took 5 bracketed shots from this spot with the goal of tone mapping them through HDR. In the field the range of exposure was just so high, I wanted to ensure the deeper colors of the sky and the slightly lit underside of the pier could be seen together without the sun itself becoming overwhelming. Those shadows beneath the pier were so dark, it was just a really wide exposure range.


Like most of us, during my 20's I was the ultimate party girl. I was out every weekend without fail, never said no to an invite and had a phone full of numbers that I could call at the drop of a hat and have a drink in my hand within the hour. I was loving life. I had no responsibilities, no worries (aside from crippling depression and a secret eating disorder – but that's off topic today) and the only bills I had to pay were a ridiculously small amount to my parents and my phone bill.
I decided I wanted to settle down, to have my own place and fulfil the burning need in me to embrace my fierce independence. I wanted to be my own woman and have control over my own life, so as I neared the dreaded big 3-0, I got my sh*t together and I set out to achieve my goal. I threw myself into work (taking on 3 jobs at once), and at the same time, I threw my social life out the window – where it has invariably stayed.
Fast forward and I am rapidly approaching my 34th birthday. I have my own home, my own business and a very clear idea about who I am and what I want from my life, but something is missing – fun with my friends.
I pretty much never go out. I work hard but I am by no means rich and there are things that I want that take priority over £9.00 cocktails on a Saturday night. I am great at saving money, it's how I run my home and how I have managed to set up my own business, but that leaves very little left at the end of the month for socialising, and so I am finding myself cancelling plans time and time again because I 'can't afford it'. This is nonsense, if going out and getting smashed was still something I wanted to do, believe me, I could juggle my budget around and go out, but that's my excuse – and it is one that is holding me back in all areas of my life.
The other excuse I like to use is that "I'm an Introvert". This is also nonsense (and anyone that knows me knows it!) I am not an Introvert, I just need my own space now and again to recharge. I am very comfortable with my own company and I'm used to being on my own. Every major life change I have made so far, I have done on my own, I've bought a flat, gone on holidays, you name it – I've done it alone, but here's the thing, I've done all those things alone because I've had to, because I cut myself off from the world.
When I am struggling, I don't like to ask for help. I don't want people to know that I am feeling like a failure and so I do what I always do, and I retreat completely and utterly within myself, but when I come out the other side and I'm ready to step back into the spotlight – who is there? My parents are brilliant and are the only two people I never hide from, but my very best mates live either miles away or on the other side of the world, and the ones close by either have families, have to be booked months in advance or have forgotten that I exist.
I have become a hermit, and as such, I have completely fallen off the radar with people. Today, I can count on one hand the number of people I could call up and go for a drink with and even then, I feel like a burden asking them if I can tag along.
This is all on me. I cannot blame these people for not thinking of me when planning a night out or not inviting me to places as I have been missing in action for so long (or am known to cancel at the last minute because I spent my Uber fare in Tesco because you know, a girls gotta eat!) I stopped making the effort to go out, people can't MAKE me.
So why this blog post? Why now?
Well, recently my circumstances at work changed, and I now work from home almost every day. GREAT for getting stuff done and my to-do list ticked off distraction-free, but it has wreaked absolute havoc on my well-being. When I go to work, I have interactions with people that have become friends, people that I apologise to in the kitchen when I want to get a spoon and I'm in their way, and people that I recognise to say hello to. I go to the gym next door where I have my own little group of like-minded people to do classes with. I see people on the train, walking through town, in the shops… and now? Nothing.
Last week I went 4 whole days without seeing another living soul unless I went to buy a loaf of bread at the shop and it hit home and it hit hard that something needs to change. This is my confirmation that I'm far from an Introvert, it's my confirmation that this way of being is not good for me and it's my confirmation that I definitely need to get out more!
MY INDEPENDENCE HAS MADE ME LONELY.
My compulsion to make sure I save money, keep my roof over my head and stay responsible has gotten out of hand because I do those things easily, I've proven that. My fear of losing my independence has become so strong that I won't do anything to risk it, and as a result, I DON'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL – and this cannot continue. I am such a people and relationships driven person and the support from my family and friends coming through my darkest times was essential. No-one can do anything alone and no-one should ever have to – and being so isolated the past few weeks has really opened my eyes to how important real-life social interaction with others really is. It cannot be replicated over the phone or through social media and it is so essential to our well-being that it should be given out as a prescription! Psychology Today wrote an article about The Perils of Social Isolation that I found really helpful, and if you feel like might be in danger of retreating like I did, it's definitely worth a read.
So, what am I going to do about it? Well, over the past couple of days I have bitten the bullet and reached out to people and made plans (that I am going to stick to!) I am making sure I go out every day (even if it's only to the shop) and I am starting to step out, blinking into social existence once more. I know that I will never be that party girl again, but I also know I'll never allow myself to disappear and shut myself away again. I'm ready to find a healthy balance, and if that means choosing cocktails over a lunchtime Pret every now and again, then so be it.

Read this article to find out the different tips and tricks that are out there, that you can use to your advantage. With that in notion here is a list of 12 great research paper titles about technology from Termpapereasy.com writing company.
Looking for a research paper writer?
What important technologies can we use to solve global problems?
Should we create an artificial intelligent computer?
What are the negatives of playing computer games for long periods of time?
What will the future of technology look like in the next few centaury's?
What will the future of technology look like in the next few decades?

Islamabad: Pakistan's next government will face myriad challenges, from unsustainable population growth to simmering extremism, all complicated by the decades-long tussle between civilian and military leadership. No matter who is voted into office Wednesday, the new rulers will have to make hard choices, and quickly.
Here is a rundown of the biggest hurdles Pakistan is facing:
Security has dramatically improved across Pakistan following a crackdown on militant groups in recent years.
But analysts have long warned that Pakistan is not tackling the root causes of extremism, and militants can still carry out spectacular attacks.
That includes during this election season, with a string of bombings at political events killing more than 180 people, including the second-deadliest militant attack in Pakistan's history.
Analysts have warned that insurgents may be regrouping and seeking to reassert themselves after years of setbacks.
Pakistan's next government faces growing fears of a balance of payments crisis, with speculation mounting it will have to seek its second bailout in five years from the International Monetary Fund.
The central bank is burning through foreign exchange reserves and devaluing the rupee, including another five-percent dive this month, in a bid to bridge a widening trade deficit.
Pakistan, which has long relied heavily on imports, increased its procurement of materials to help build a string of Chinese-backed infrastructure projects under a multi-billion-dollar investment package with Beijing.
The terms of the projects are opaque, leading to fears about Islamabad's ability to pay for them.
The economy has also been stung by higher oil prices.
Meanwhile, meagre exports such as textiles have taken a hit from cheaper products by regional competitors, including China, while foreign remittances —a major contributor to the economy -- have also slowed.
The winner of the election will have "limited time" to act, Fitch ratings agency warned earlier this month.
Conservative Pakistan, with its limited family planning, has one of the highest birth rates in Asia at around three children per woman, according to the World Bank and government figures.
That has led to a fivefold increase of the population since 1960, now touching 207 million, draft results from last year's census show.
The boom is negating hard-won economic and social progress in the developing country, experts have warned.
To add to the problem, discussing contraception in public is taboo in Pakistan.
Analysts say unless more is done to slow growth, the country's natural resources -- particularly drinking water -- will not be enough to support the population.
Pakistan is on the verge of an ecological disaster if authorities do not urgently address looming water shortages, experts say.
Official estimates show that by 2025 the country will be facing an "absolute scarcity" of water, with less than 500 cubic metres available per person -- just one-third of the water available in parched Somalia, according to the UN.
Pakistan has massive Himalayan glaciers, rivers, monsoon rains and floods -- but just three major water storage basins, compared with more than a thousand in South Africa or Canada.
As such, surplus water is quickly lost.
Political initiative will be essential to building infrastructure to reverse the course of the impending crisis. There is also little in the way of public education on water conservation.
Pakistan has spent roughly half its nearly 71-year history under military rule, and the imbalance of power in between civilian governments and the armed forces has long been seen as an impediment to democracy and progress.
Hope surged in 2013 as the country saw its first-ever transition of power from one democratically-elected government to another.
But since then, experts have warned of a "creeping coup", fuelled by tensions between the generals and the government of three-time premier Nawaz Sharif, largely attributed to his desire to assert civilian supremacy and seek warmer relations with arch-rival India.
Sharif, ousted in 2017 and arrested for corruption earlier this month, says he and his party are being targeted by the military.
Activists and several prominent journalists have also accused the military of trying to install a pliant civilian government through pressure on politicians and the media. It denies the allegations.
The next government will be tasked with meeting the country's challenges without upsetting this delicate balance of power.

Q: Responsive Image Replacement I am building a responsive site through wordpress and want to display 3 separate images across 4 screen sizes, the images are banner ads.
With the theme I am using I am adding the code to the widget to specify each separate div and image. As I am new to the responsive way of designing I have an issue which I am unsure of the ideal workaround.
The css specifies each size @media which is working fine but my method of specifying display none to the div I want to show and not show is not working as it is being overidden by the base style.
IIs it possible to specify which image is shown per media size by placing code in the image src element? i.e
Sorry if this is a bit indecipherable but if anybody has an incling what I am on about and knows the best way to show responsive images and replacement images that would be great.

A: You could assign each image a unique id or use a class name and within your media query use display:none;
Example:
@media (max-width: 768px){
  img.myImage{
  display: none;
 }
}

Hubei officials explained the uptick Thursday by saying they had reclassified how they were officially diagnosing and counting cases of COVID-19.
Food 16/02/2020 watinet
Officials in China's Hubei province revealed Thursday that new cases of COVID-19 had surged nearly 10-fold from the day before—reversing days of declines that experts said were a positive sign for the containment of the virus. The number of deaths increased dramatically, as well, to 242.
The jump in new cases—more than 14,800 in the province at the epicenter of the outbreak—is due to a change in the criteria for counting diagnoses of the virus. Observers say this could be a step in the right direction and lead to a better picture of the situation in the province at the epicenter of the outbreak. However, concerns remain about the transparency of the data from Chinese authorities.
Previously, only patients that had received positive results from a laboratory test were included in the publicly reported case count. Confirmed cases will now be based on clinical diagnosis, including the use of CT scans. These were previously only counted as "probable" infections. That means that doctors will have more discretion to give patients an immediate diagnosis, instead of waiting for the results of a laboratory test.
"In terms of monitoring the progression of the outbreak of infections, it's quite a sensible idea to also report probable cases," Ben Cowling, a professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the University of Hong Kong, tells TIME. He says that he believes that the numbers reported by Chinese officials may have been undercounted, because China simply didn't have the ability to test all suspected cases.
For that reason, he says it makes more sense to include those most likely to be infected in the official infection count, instead of only those cases that have been confirmed by a laboratory test.
"In SARS, that's what was done," Cowling says.
Across China, including Hubei, 254 new deaths and 15,152 new virus cases were reported Thursday. There are now more than 60,000 cases of COVID-19 worldwide, with all but about 500 in mainland China. There have been 1,367 deaths—with 1,310 of them in Hubei province.
Many experts say that it's almost certain that the number of publicly confirmed cases has been lower than the actual number of infections—for a variety of reasons.
"Cases have definitely been underreported all along," Charles Chiu, a professor of laboratory medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, tells TIME. "There have been reports of likely infected individuals being turned away from hospitals and sent home because the medical system in Hubei is being overwhelmed, with the focus on treating the more severely ill patients," he says.
Even the statement from Huebi's health authorities hinted that they have been under-counting the number of official cases of the coronavirus, adding that the change was "in order to be consistent with the classification of case diagnosis issued by other provinces across the country."
Hours after the announcement of the spike in new cases, the Chinese government announced a political shakeup in Hubei. On Thursday, the Communist Party secretary of Hubei, Jiang Chaoliang, was removed from his post, according to state media. The mayor of Shanghai, Ying Yong, will replace him.
Jiang is the highest-ranking party official removed from office thus far over the outbreak. Public anger has swelled over the handling of the virus, and this week a petition calling on the national legislature to protect citizens' free speech in China has gained momentum. The petition follows an outpouring of grief over the death of a young doctor who sounded the alarm on the virus and was punished by officials for speaking out.
Steve Tsang, director of the University of London's SOAS China Institute, says that the move is likely an attempt by Chinese President, Xi Jinping, to show that he is taking decisive action to tackle the outbreak and to re-direct public anger.
"Sacrificing a provincial party secretary is a big deal, and not a step Xi would have taken lightly," he says. "So, it reflects both a sense of pressure as well as a determination to articulate strength and control."
The new classification system of COVID-19 was meant to ensure that "patients can receive standardized treatment according to confirmed cases as early as possible to further improve the success rate of treatment," according to the Hubei Province Health Commission.
The vice president of a Beijing hospital and one of the experts working on the coronavirus response told state broadcaster CCTV that the move is in line with China's National Health Commission's latest diagnostic guidelines, reports the South China Morning Post.
"When doctors diagnose pneumonia, they can only get the etiology of the disease 20 to 30 percent of the time. We have to rely on clinical diagnosis 70 to 80 percent of the time. Increasing the diagnosis of clinical cases will help us make an additional judgment on the disease," Tong Zhaohui said.
Hui-ling Yen, an expert on influenza transmission at the University of Hong Kong, believes the new diagnosis criteria could mean the numbers reported are more representative of the situation on the ground, although she says that this approach is not foolproof.
But experts say that the case count in the rest of China could also be much higher than reported. "It is unclear what the extent of diagnostic testing in China is outside of Hubei province," Chiu says.
According to local officials, around 5 million people left Wuhan before officials implemented a lockdown of the city on Jan. 23 to attempt to halt the spread of the virus. Tsang of SOAS' China Institute, says that means that there could be a huge gap in the number of officially reported statistics.
"A very high percentage of the five million would have been migrant workers who returned to their villages, where medical facilities and transport links are so poor that many could not have received the necessary medical attention and tests should they contracted the virus," Tsang tells TIME. "We do not have information of how many there are, and how infectious they would have been to those who hosted them. The overwhelming majority of those thus infected almost certainly would not have been recorded in the official statistics."
On Thursday, officials in Hubei had reported just over 1,600 new cases—the lowest figure since the beginning of February. Experts said the declines were promising signals that China's lockdown of tens of millions of people may be working to contain the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
It is not clear over what time period the newly announced cases were detected.
"I would like to know whether those 15,000 cases are recent cases, or they're spread out over the last few weeks and this is somehow a backlog of cases that are now reported," Cowling says.
Hubei, which includes the city of Wuhan—where the coronavirus is believed to have originated, has more than 80% of official cases worldwide.

Augustus Henry Keane
Augustus Henry Keane (1833–1912) was an Irish Roman Catholic journalist and linguist, known for his ethnological writings.

5 Works
He was born in Cork, Ireland.[1][2][3] He was educated in Cork, Dublin and Jersey, and graduated at the Roman Catholic College, Dublin.[4]
In Glasgow
Keane was editor of the Glasgow Free Press from 1862. He and his deputy Peter McCorry turned the first Scottish Catholic newspaper into a campaigning sheet, setting the Irish priests against the Scottish priests, and in particular the vicars-apostolic. The paper supported the nationalist Patrick Lavelle,[5] who used its pages to attack Paul Cullen.[6] John Murdoch, the Vicar Apostolic of the Western District was another particular target, the background being the increasing number of Irish Catholic priests in Scotland, and an increasing Irish immigrant population.[7] Keane and McCorry found themselves in court proceedings.[8]
The policy of the Glasgow Free Press under Keane and then McCorry had only short-term direct effects, and the paper was shut down after the intervention by Cardinal Manning towards the end of the 1860s; but the divisions it revealed have been taken as important in the move towards restoring the Scottish Catholic hierarchy, which occurred in 1878. Keane may have drifted from the Catholic faith in later life.[5]
Linguist, geographer, ethnologist
He studied in Germany and taught at Hameln;[9][10] and became a linguist. He taught languages including Hindustani at the Hartley Institute, Southampton; a chair of Hindustani was created for him at University College, London, in 1883,[1] but he left it in 1885.[3] He then spent a period lecturing on ethnology at the University of Virginia in Charlotteville.[4]
Keane belonged to the "philological" group of British linguists, with Richard Garnett, Thomas Hewitt Key, Isaac Taylor, John Horne Tooke and Hensleigh Wedgwood.[11] He began attending meetings of the a Royal Anthropological Institute in 1879, read papers there, and became a Fellow, serving as vice-president. He was granted a Civil List pension in 1897.[1][12] Keane was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
Keane's racial theories were published first in Nature in 1879–81. He affirmed the specific unity of human beings in his 1896 text Ethnology, even if his views had some other implications. He produced racial typologies, in his expository writings; they were more systematic than those of John George Wood and Robert Brown, and were intended for rote learning.[13]
Evolutionary tree from Keane's Ethnology (1909).
Keane was out of step with the anthropology of the time, preferring linguistic data to that of physical anthropology and came to occupy a marginal position in the emerging scientific discipline.[14] On the other hand, his efforts at popularising anthropology were praised by Sir Harry Johnston.[13]
Keane's views were invoked by F. W. Bell in South Africa from 1908, with those of Robert Bennett Bean, and played a part in the move of the Transvaal Native Affairs Society towards a segregationist position.[15] He was known for his sympathies displayed in The Boer States (1900), in which he attributed the long-term issue behind the Boer Wars to the attitude of Lord Glenelg in the 1830s.[13] The stance taken by Keane, who has been described as a "virulent racist", was conveyed in person when he addressed the Transvaal Native Affairs Society in September 1909. He cited Robert Wilson Shufeldt of Virginia, author of The Negro a Menace to American Civilization (1907), aiding the Bell faction against the moderates around Howard Pim.[14]

Man, Past and Present (1899); this work has been called "overtly racist", and a later edition revised by Alison Hingston Quiggin and A. C. Haddon removed some of the extreme statements.[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]

He contributed ethnological appendices to the volumes of Edward Stanford's Compendium of Geography and Travel, which was based on Friedrich von Hellwald's Die Erde und ihre Völker. An English edition of La Nouvelle Géographic universelle, la terre et les hommes, 19 vols. (1875—94) of Elisée Reclus appeared as The Earth and Its Inhabitants[41][42] the first volumes were edited by Ernest George Ravenstein, the rest by Keane.[43] With Sir Stanley Reed he edited Bradshaw's Through Routes to the Chief Cities of the World (1907).[44]
A prolific author, Keane wrote encyclopedia articles, in particular for the Encyclopædia Britannica. His articles included "Negro" in the 9th edition, which included details of the racial theory of Filippo Manetta.[45][46] He also wrote magazine articles and textbooks; he contributed 800 entries to Cassell's Storehouse of General Information. In 1905 he was involved in the part publishing venture The Living Races of Man, illustrated with 800 photographs.[13]

We here at Forgotten Rock Classics are still screaming out loud from last weeks post and decided that we need to keep up that hard rocking, foot stomping, head banging music for one more week. After all if you are creating that magical heavy metal, driving down the freeway CD for yourself or a friend you will need more then just one song, so we have this little treasure for you to add on to the CD.
Not Fragile is the title track off of Bachman Turner Overdrive's (BTO) third record titled Not Fragile. Produced in 1974 and put out on Mercury records. This is the only album by BTO that ever reached number one on the charts, however the songs that got it to number one were "Rock is My Life, and This is My Song", "Roll On Down the Highway" and the radio main stay that you can still hear today on many classic rock stations "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".
So get yourself ready for 4 minutes of loud, head banging rock and roll and while you are enjoying the song we have created a little Popeye cartoon for your viewing pleasure. After all who is more NOT FRAGILE then the spinach eating cartoon character Popeye. And for you listeners out there wanting something a little more mellow next week we will be playing a beautiful song by Robbie Robertson.

Great song! I've never heard this one from them. I enjoyed listening to this song. Keep up the good work. I will continue to follow your blog!
We are glad that you like it. One of our goals has always been to try and turn people on to songs that they might not have heard before or had forgotten about. Thank You for the follow.
I recently been making myself listen to genres of music that I haven't given a try and I like this song but I can really hear what they(them) are singing. I'll look up the lyrics. Your writing is very well put together and feels like the right amount of reading.
Jangolang Thank you for your comment and I'm are glad that you liked the song. If you click on the second not fragile, "third record titled Not Fragile" this one will get you linked to the lyrics of the song.


I feel it's only right to disclose the fact that, as the writer of this article, I am a woman. I will do my absolute best to withhold bias, but men, also note that with my bias comes great insight into the woman's mind. Which, from what I can only assume, would be of great value to you. We won't tell your girlfriends or wives that you are reading a relationship article, if and only if, you promise to take it to heart and trust that what I'm relaying to you will really help. This is what it's all about, well this is the abridged version, because as most women can attest to, we could create a 50 item list of important things in a relationship. And for those women looking for a bit of insight as well, I write this from my heart, filled with gratitude for my amazing marriage and wanted to pass along some of those really key things that have played a big role in our daily happiness and growth together.
1. LAUGH: This is our source of energy. We are always laughing. Everyday, every night. We just have a way of being our true, ridiculous, geeked out selves and we laugh. I think it's that freedom to be who we are, the good, the bad and the ugly. Because as a good friend once said, "Being perfect isn't funny." So being your imperfect self allows that space to be goofy, to make mistakes, to tell horrible jokes, to act like a kid again. We laugh when we see an old man with a pipe. Why? Who knows but over time we've somehow landed on the same vibration, in rapport and totally in sync. Laughter is the quickest way to get that connection with a loved one. Laughter tears through pain, it stomps down adversity and blows past uncertainty. Just BE. Trust me, your weird self, being exactly who you are, is probably hilarious.
2. LISTEN: We know we talk a lot, we know sometimes it doesn't always make sense or it's not always that important, but it's so cool when we see that you are actually listening. To some of us, listening equates to caring. This goes for us women too. Listening to our partners talking about football or the latest recruit on their college team, well it just shows you care. Now I'm not saying we always have to be there listening to eachother, but what we can do is make an effort. Stay checked in when the other is talking. The last thing I'm saying is to pretend to care, authenticity is huge in any relationship. I think it's all about stretching ourselves for the sake of our loved one. Listen when it's important. Guys often say, "as men we just don't understand women." So when we explain the ins and outs of our emotions and hormones and all of that, that's the time to listen.
3. LEARN: Piggybacking off the last answer, we don't expect you to know and understand everything. This goes for both men and women. The key is to be willing to learn. To listen to what your partner is saying, take it to heart and learn from it. It's learning what works and what doesn't. Simply this, if you're partner hate mushrooms, and you make them dinner full of mushrooms, have you learned? Nope. Take the messages you are both communicating and use that as a tool to move forward. The information you gather from listening is super valuable in the success of your relationship. Why? Because it's something we can learn from.
4. LOVE: This may seem obvious, but there's a lot more to it than most of us realize. First, we must love ourselves. That's right, we must love ourselves before expecting someone else to love us. Until we are a whole person, it is difficult to feel secure in a relationship. Those who don't love themselves first, [believe me, we've all been there] tend to always be seeking approval and acceptance. And when we are so focused on ourselves, it's a little tougher to love the other person. Now once you are in that relationship where you love yourself and you are ready to fully love the other person, remember it's about fully loving the other person. It's easy to get frustrated or annoyed with our partners quirks and habits, but when you learn to love all those little things, not only is life easier for you, but you also give your partner a great gift. The gift of having the space to freely be themselves. Love is a lifestyle. It's the lifestyle that can embrace the whole person, a lifestyle where your partner's needs are your needs, where you look at them with acceptance and look at yourself with acceptance.
5. LIVE: Sounds a bit basic and simple, I get that. Living is continuous, it's this growing and progressing process. Living in a relationship means, don't press the rewind button because something goes wrong. Don't live in the past, allowing that last argument to weigh you down and close up. Live openly. Live continually. Live presently. You've probably heard someone say "Life's too short to ______" fill in the blank with a behavior you'd like to avoid. "Life's too short to hold grudges." "Life's too short to be angry." "Life's too short to be ungrateful." You get the idea. And this is the basis of LIVE. It's about moving on, living on. My husband and I like to remind ourselves of a saying we heard, "Leave no stones in the basket." Have you ever had that heavy, hard to breath, stressed and upset feeling right in the center of your chest? Imagine there is a basket right in there, and every time something goes wrong, or every time you are hurt, frustrated, upset, it adds a stone into that basket. Can you see how quickly that would get heavy if we held on to every little thing that didn't go as planned? So leaving no stones in the basket means, deal with the stress or the feeling and then move on. Don't hold those grudges and don't keep a list of what your partner has done wrong. Everyday should be a clean slate.
See, not too hard right?

Nothing Surprising in Leaked Copenhagen Draft Agreement (Updated)
By Christopher Horner 2009-12-10T03:00:09
Imagine if a Bush administration official had said this:
"Asked about arguments by diplomats and some protesters that the United States should provide hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to developing nations as reparations, Mr. Stern, the special envoy for climate change, bluntly fired back at a news conference. 'I actually completely reject the notion of a debt or reparations or anything of the like,' he said. 'For most of the 200 years since the Industrial Revolution, people were blissfully ignorant of the fact that emissions caused a greenhouse effect. It's a relatively recent phenomenon.'"
In truth, Arrhenius famously posited the greenhouse effect in 1896. The Industrial Revolution is generally accepted as having begun in or about 1850. The greenhouse effect is not the same as the modern left's claim that economic activity must be held in check because Man's contribution is creating dangerous climate change. But the ignorance is fairly revealing: it's not about the climate or the science to these people.
Do I need to tell you that the New York Times' highly political science reporter Andrew Revkin did not blink at this? The paper has not always been so forgiving of misunderstandings of the matter by political officials.
If there is something surprising in the leaked draft text developed by the U.S., UK, Denmark, and (maybe) others that transfers the management of Kyoto II's billions to the World Bank, I haven't seen it. This Guardian story cites outraged activists and hangers-on in Copenhagen over the contents.
After reading the text, I have to conclude that this is either a leak intended to gain traction for phonied-up outrage to spin things here as somehow headed in a reasonable direction, or else it is the hysterics of an exceedingly paranoid global warming establishment fearful of anything it didn't actually have a hand in drafting.
Anyway, here's my read of things.
Any possible window dressing of moving management from the UN to the World Bank is not actually declared or apparent anywhere in the document's text. Article 22 makes clear that a "Climate Fund be established as an operating entity of" a mechanism under the existing "Rio" treaty framework, ratified by the U.S. and which Kyoto amended and implemented.
The same corrupt Mother Ship, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), implements and monitors funding. The document asserts that additional revenues will come from aviation and shipping (read: international commerce, airline, and cruise ship) taxes. This is hardly change we can believe in.
Once ratified, these finance decisions will be implemented by consensus and, failing that, a two-thirds vote, of which the U.S. has an equal voice with our peers from Andorra to Zimbabwe. Even if there were some grounds in this document that would result in a claim that someone was trying to remove financing from the UN to a separate entity, it should be viewed like the current effort to claim that a non-profit entity would manage what is otherwise called the "public option" in the health care takeover. Clearly the claim is made to avoid the notion that it is government-run insurance.
It would be purely optics, and the scheme still quacks, flies, and does everything else like the old duck. The principal outrage from the welfare states clinging to Kyoto II as a revenue stream is that there is some inkling that they might actually have to do something under what this draft text envisions. Not hardly.
The motivations of this global energy rationing scheme, administered through some supranational body or otherwise international framework, have always been at minimum two-fold: get the U.S. in check and keep the poor from getting Western-style rich. This document reflects both of those desires.
It caps our economic activity, barring unforeseen developments in energy technology so staggering as to be truly "breakthrough," keeping the U.S. handcuffed economically while picking our pockets and keeping the poor world poor as part of the deal.

So, it seems that this, so-called, "global recession" has not impacted negatively on everyone. Check this out! It's a Mercedes Benz owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire, naturally.
Featuring the newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque? 0-100km/h in less than 2secs, 1/4 mile in 6.89 secs running on biofuel. That is NOT stainless steel people. It's white gold - that's ELITE.


Messenger features are slowly creeping into the main Facebook experience.
In order to keep people coming back, Facebook regularly debuts new features for small sets of users. Newsfeed posts, videos and Messenger have all regularly been experimented on, but the humble comments section has largely stayed the same over the past decade. That could be set to change, however, after BuzzFeed News confirmed that the social network is testing a new mobile layout that styles comments to look more like text messages.
According to Facebook, the new bubble interface is designed to make posts more conversational. A company spokesperson told BuzzFeed: "We are always working to make Facebook a more visual and engaging place to have conversations. So we're testing multiple design updates in News Feed, including a more conversational way to comment on posts."
Other subtle design tweaks include the introduction of pop-ups that load individual posts in a new window and a visual indicator that alerts you when other people are currently writing a comment on a post. Basically, Facebook is taking features that Messenger users have become accustomed to and incorporating them inside the Newsfeed.
The new layout is a lot easier on the eye, but the messaging bubbles do take up more of the screen. This might suggest Facebook wants people to spend more time in the app or that it wants comment sections to be reserved for real comments. Maybe it'll put an end to the endless threads of name tag comments inside popular Newsfeed posts and viral videos.
Although some users will see the new features inside their app, Facebook typically limits the number of people involved in its trials. Should the message bubbles receive positive feedback, however, they could roll out to everyone in the near future.

ObjectivesTo determine the effect of chronic disorders and their co-occurrence on survival and functioning in community-dwelling older adults. DesignPopulation-based cohort study. SettingKungsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden. ParticipantsIndividuals aged 78 and older examined by physicians four times over 11 years (N = 1,099). MeasurementsChronic diseases (grouped according to 10 organ systems according to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, code) and multimorbidity (2 coexisting chronic diseases) were evaluated in terms of mortality, population attributable risk of death, median years of life lost, and median survival time with and without disability (need of assistance in 1 activities of daily living). ResultsApproximately one in four deaths were attributable to cardiovascular and one in six to neuropsychiatric diseases. Malignancy was the condition with the shortest survival time (2.5 years). Malignancies and cardiovascular disorders each accounted for approximately 5 years of life lost. In contrast, neurosensorial and neuropsychiatric conditions had the longest median survival time (>6 years), and affected people were disabled for more than half of this time. The most-prevalent and -burdensome condition was multimorbidity, affecting 70.4% of the population, accounting for 69.3% of total deaths, and causing 7.5 years of life lost. Finally, people with multimorbidity lived 81% of their remaining years of life with disability (median 5.2 years). ConclusionSurvival in older adults differs in length and quality depending on specific conditions. The greatest negative effect at the individual (shorter life, greater dependence) and societal (number of attributable deaths, years spent with disability) level was from multimorbidity, which has made multimorbidity a clinical and public health priority.

J. Rives Childs in Wartime Tangier
January 3, 2014 1 Comment by Michael Toler
The January-February 2014 issue of the Foreign Service Journal contains my article on the Legation's World War II Chargé d'Affaires, J. Rives Childs. Alternatively, this link to the FSJ gives you an option for either PDF or "FlippingBook" versions of the entire issue, but I've repeated the text below for TALIMblog readers.
On July 16, 1987, the New York Times noted the passing of J. Rives Childs, a "former American diplomat and authority on Casanova."
Childs had led many lives: volunteer ambulance driver à la Hemingway and U.S. Army cryptographer in France during World War I (he later received the Medal of Freedom for cracking German codes); postwar White House correspondent; American Relief Administration official (one of "Hoover's Boys") in the famine-stricken USSR of the 1920s; and a Foreign Service officer whose 30-year career culminated with ambassadorships to Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia after World War II.
Childs also wrote 14 books, ranging from definitive studies of Casanova and French writers of the 18th century (some written in French) to several works touching on his Foreign Service career. His final memoir, Let the Credit Go (1983), recounts his tenure as chargé d'affaires at the American Legation in Tangier, Morocco, between 1941 and 1945.
Despite the wealth of material generated by and about Childs, he remains an enigma. Was it just luck that he came unscathed through the McCarthy-era witch hunts despite some unconventional views on the Soviet Union? Just how effective a diplomat was a man some called an "insufferable prig" for driving his staff up the wall–including agents from the wartime Office of Strategic Services who were just trying to do their job?
And is Childs an unsung hero of the Holocaust, whose name belongs among the "righteous gentiles" at Israel's Yad Vashem memorial? Or all of the above?
Franco's Spain and Petain's France Meet in Morocco
For sheer complexity and strategic importance, Childs' four-plus years in Tangier as chargé d'affaires (1941-1945) overshadow his later assignments as ambassador.
Though he resided at the American Legation in the city's International Zone, Childs was accredited to Morocco, which was divided into French and Spanish protectorates. The U.S. had never recognized the Spanish zone, and the situation was further complicated when the forces of General Francisco Franco, recently victorious in the Spanish Civil War, occupied the International Zone after France fell to German forces in June 1940.
The U.S. continued to recognize the Petain government in Vichy, and American policy was to cultivate relations with Vichy representatives in North Africa. Childs applied himself energetically to that task, cultivating officials favorable to the Allied cause and probing French and Spanish officials about their attitudes on a hypothetical Allied landing.
In particular, would Franco abandon his official neutrality and allow German forces to sweep down from Spain and through Morocco once American troops landed, as they did in November 1942 (Operation Torch)? (Franco did maintain Spanish neutrality, angering Adolf Hitler.)
These concerns were shared by the new clandestine service set up in the wake of Pearl Harbor, the Office of Strategic Services. This precursor to the CIA chose the American Legation in Tangier as its headquarters for Mediterranean operations, and recruited a Harvard anthropologist, Carleton Coon, who was given diplomatic cover as a vice consul. Coon's anthropological fieldwork in the northern Moroccan Rif Mountains in the 1920s and 1930s gave him an entrée with the Berber tribes who had rebelled against Spanish occupation.
The OSS plan was to furnish financial support and weapons so the Berbers would be ready to rise up in rebellion should Franco join the Axis and threaten the Allies (which he never did). Vice Consul Coon invented fanciful code names for his chief Moroccan contacts like "Tassels" and "Strings." He later described his cloak-and-dagger work in North Africa Story, an entertaining compilation of his wartime reports.
Coon's exploits did not amuse Childs, however. Though he didn't name Coon, the chargé later wrote that one of his vice consuls had harbored delusions of becoming "a second Lawrence of Arabia."
For his part, Coon paints a damning picture of Childs as so out of touch about the nature of clandestine work that he had the OSS communication operation moved out of the legation because the tapping of the telegraph kept his wife awake at night. Retired Ambassador Carleton Coon Jr. recalls "This appeared treasonable to my father, and after I had started on my own diplomatic career, my father swore he would never allow his son to serve under 'that SOB'."
Whether this was "treasonable" conduct or just extreme micromanagement is a matter of opinion. What is less debatable is that many of Childs' colleagues saw him as priggish. For instance, he proudly recounted his success in prohibiting female American dependents from wearing slacks and shorts within the residential compound in Addis Ababa, his last diplomatic posting, in the early 1950s. When the women protested this vestige of Puritanism, Childs threatened to have any offenders and their husbands transferred out of Ethiopia.
Fascist Visas Save Jewish Lives
During his time in Spanish-occupied Tangier of the 1940s, Chargé Childs had initially approached the Spanish authorities with circumspection, assuming that High Commissioner General Luis Orgaz was a Franco fascist. But working contacts fostered warmer relations, which would lead to an important humanitarian action.
Tangier, like the Casablanca depicted in the film of that title, was an important hub for refugees fleeing both the war and the Holocaust. Renée Reichmann, herself a refugee from Hungary, was a key figure in relief efforts from Tangier, and was affiliated with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
Reichmann's efforts in sending tons of food parcels to occupied Europe were herculean, and she even performed the unimaginable: a trip back through fascist Europe to Hungary in 1942 to see her parents for what proved to be the last time. By early 1944, the Jewish community of Hungary was targeted for the Final Solution, and Reichmann's focus shifted from relief to rescue.
She approached Childs to enlist his help in extricating hundreds of Jews in Budapest from the clutches of the Nazis. Reichmann's request came just after the Roosevelt administration created the War Refugee Board, a belated attempt to intervene on behalf of Jews and other threatened populations. Childs was therefore able to add official U.S. government weight to what was initially a personal, humanitarian gesture.
It turns out that Spanish High Commissioner General Orgaz was not the fascist that Childs had assumed him to be. He issued several tranches of visas for Tangier, which was sufficient for the Nazis to consider the threatened Jews to be protected by a friendly power. On the eve of Childs' departure from Tangier in June 1945, Reichmann wrote him to express thanks "for your extremely noble and generous assistance in the affair of the entry visas for Tangier … Thus, 1,200 innocent souls owe their survival to Your Excellency."
At the Tangier American Legation's museum, we display the full text of Reichmann's letter, and note the fact that J. Rives Childs kept the letter in his pocket for years afterwards. For this action, worthy of Raoul Wallenberg and other World War II diplomats who saved Jews by the thousand, Childs–as in the title of his autobiography– "let the credit go" to Reichmann for proposing the action and to Orgaz for issuing the visas.
An Arabist, but Not an Anti-Semite
The operation, however, clearly left its mark on the seemingly stiff diplomat. Responding to Reichmann, he wrote: "I do not know of any work which I have done in my whole career which has given me greater personal satisfaction than the efforts made on behalf of these friendless persons."

What's a Blog without OPINIONS? Keep checking back. There will be more, and yours, are welcome, too. Which leads me to: Branding.
It's all the rage these days. Everybody needs to have a "brand." Supposedly.
But, does anyone bother to ask Why? Not really. Most people hear other people say it and just follow along. I still remember, and it wasn't that long ago, when most people and businesses didn't even have a "Mission Statement." Or a "Brand."
Think about it. Suppose you have a product. Or an Image to convey. Why not simply focus on Quality, ease-of-use and a 90-day guarantee (for most things) and call it good? Whether it's a new website or tires on your car, etc. Why not simply provide the same quality and service you would want or expect from others? Simple!
4. The reliability and smooth functionality is good.
5. The guarantee is good.
Why not just do this anyway? Standard procedure. Good word will get around just fine.


Who could forget last years Mad Dog Jam?!? Well it is back bigger and better and hosted by non other than ( drum roll ) NISEKO Mt RESORT Grand HIRAFU!! That's right our local resort as well as local business has got behind the event and the scene is set for a creative shredathon tomorrow at the base of the Kogen course.
The set up consists of a sculptured set of hips, banks, pipes and bowls and a rail.
After party at Bar Moon.
Last year the event was at Owashi lodge and was great but more space and snow this year should ensure a steeper drop in zone and faster longer lines with bigger jumps. Rad.

BMW 7 Series. The second generation E32.
The second generation of the BMW 7 Series (E32) is released in 1987. The idea was to create an elegant and dynamic vehicle for the business class. Hans Kerschbaum was involved in the development, first as a designer, later as head of aerodynamics. Many of his ideas are adopted, including the distinctive wide C-pillar or the rear side window with a raised edge for easy access into the interior. For the first time in BMW history, the typical L-shaped rear lights appeared at the BMW 7 Series.
