The Thistle (I/IV)

← Previous Canon Entry | Next Canon Entry →
This is a history of Persephone.
It is 1328 years before the common era and Persephone still remembers the marvelous thing.
She doesn't know exactly what it was. Not any more. It was wooden and round, and it had a handle. It shimmered like rainbows, like soap bubbles. It shone.
It made a noise.
It was the most marvelous, incredible noise. It was like the bubbling happiness of the sea. It was crazy, mad, incredible, majestic, that noise.
She remembers.
There's sunshine all around her now. She's got grubby hands and there's a bit of the dirt in her mouth, a little bit, just enough to taste. It tastes like life and also like ick, dirt!
She's planting seeds with her friend Cyane and her mother Demeter.
She digs a hole. Just a little hole. She drops a seed in it. She covers the seed over.
"Covering things over," she says, in the flawless ancient Greek spoken by ancient Greeks of the time, "makes them all chaotic."
She can see that too. It's like a gray fuzz. It's like the tides of chaos flowing in.
It's really not as adult a statement as it sounds, given the time and the place and the language and her history. It's not that philosophical, to her.
It's just the kind of thing young Persephone tends to think.
She knows object permanence by now. She knows the seed's still there. But it's covered over and that makes doubt. That's the gray. That's doubt, that's mystery, that's the uncertainty that's flooded in over the seed. It could be anything now. It could grow into anything now. That's how Persephone gardens: with love and warmth and a bit of green chaos.
The sun beats down on the earth. Helios is busy today, he's in top form, he's shining like there's no tomorrow, when in fact there are at least 1,216,180 tomorrows left. That's just how much he loves his job.
Under the pressure of that sunlight the earth splits apart. The seed rushes up. Now it's a plant.
It's a THISTLE.
"Huh," says Persephone.
She looks at it left. She looks at it right. She reaches forward.
"Unh uh," says Demeter.
Demeter stops her.
"Don't touch that," Demeter says. "I think it's got teeth."
The thistle snarls and bites at her with its teeth. This totally confirms Demeter's suspicions.
"Wow," Persephone says, totally taken.
She can see the echoes of that marvelous thing in the thistle. It's like the wooden sphere and it's like the soap bubbles and it's bright and shiny-colored in the sun and she remembers the noise. Mom always says it wasn't a very important noise but Persephone remembers.
"I'm going to tame it," Persephone says.
Her eyes are bright. There's wonder on her face. Her dress hangs to her knees and her hands are grubby and her hair is black and it is amazing how much Demeter loves her right then.
"It's going to be the best flower ever."
She feeds it a healthy diet of fruits and grains. She brushes its teeth twice a day. She even flosses when it lets her.
That thistle's always going to love her.
Just like Demeter does.
It is 1317 years before the common era.
Demeter hears her daughter's scream.
She hears it end.
She knows that Persephone is gone from the mortal realms.
She has gone below the earth and she is lost behind the gray.
And hope is dead.

At last the other half of Persephone's story! This promises to be interesting.

So approximately 3332 years, or…
Hm. Interesting!

Well, 2004 is the latest date that appears in canon so far, so it doesn't really tell us anything we don't already know. Though it might hint that The End Of Time is on the table as a potential denouement.
The line that I loved was "in the flawless ancient Greek spoken by ancient Greeks of the time". :D (That and the bit about object permanence.)
Mithrandir on November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am said:
Except that there's an extra quarter-day each solar year, and no year zero. So that puts us in 2000, in September. The 19th I think. What happened then?
jenna on November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am said:
Best as I can work out, Boedromion ran 1-2 days later than September in 2000. Are you assuming the history is on January 1? Accounting for that weirdness with the Pope? ^_^
S on November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am said:
A lot of ancient things are running late this year Рwhy not the B̦edromion?
Apollon Böedromios, helper in battle, doesn't seem to be answering too many prayers, either.

Maybe you're not doing it right.
> Apollon Böedromios, helper in battle, doesn't seem to be answering too many prayers, either.
Didn't say it was me doing it. I've got my own thing.
It isn't //this//, but I like the sentiment.
Anyway, you committed a grammatical solecism there. It should be either "Apollo Boëdromios" or "Apollon Boëdromion."
You are correct! I humbly apologize for my error (or σολοικισμός). :)
Dammit, how come Greek script works now and it didn't yesterday?
Oh, right, I was trying to put it in the subject line. I guess it doesn't work there.

Reopening the Senate, Mitch McConnell takes a big risk
The health threat in the nation's capital is real, and by some accounts, senators aren't sure how to stay safe as McConnell reopens the chamber.

By Steve Benen
U.S. House leaders, in coordination with Congress' Office of the Attending Physician, decided it wasn't yet safe to return to work next week. As Politico reported yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made the opposite decision -- and it's worth considering why.
The Senate majority leader is gambling that 100 senators can safely meet on the Senate floor and throughout the Capitol complex. Many of them will travel across the country for the Senate's reopening, risking exposure on airplanes and in airports. And 49 senators are aged 65 or older and at greater risk of the deadly disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Plus, the senators' return will bring back hundreds of staffers and Capitol employees.
The health threat in the nation's capital -- a city where coronavirus cases are still rising -- is real, and by some accounts, members aren't entirely sure how they're supposed to stay safe.
On Wednesday, for example, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), a member of the Senate Democratic leadership, said, "I have not yet seen, personally ... a safety plan to protect those people who have to come back to the Capitol in order for us to do anything. Nor a plan to make sure that we are not spreading the virus ourselves or to the employees."
What's more, it's not altogether clear why the move is ostensibly necessary. To be sure, the Senate will soon be called to consider another economic aid package, but the floor procedures for the last couple of Senate votes on related bills did not require the full attendance of all 100 members.
As Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) put it, "If we're doing oversight work or we're passing a relief bill, then you can credibly make the case we are essential employees. But there's no reason to bring the Senate back to make conservative radio hosts happy. That's a dereliction of duty."
The Connecticut Democrat's point about the political circumstances appears to have real merit. McConnell hasn't been explicit about why he's so eager to take this gamble, but Republicans have signaled their intention to move forward with consideration of a seemingly unqualified judicial nominee (Justin Walker), a seemingly unqualified Federal Reserve nominee (Judy Shelton), and a literally unqualified director of National Intelligence nominee (John Ratcliffe).
Is it worth putting senators at risk to advance White House picks like these? It's tough to make the case.
Complicating matters, Politico had a related report yesterday, noting that Dr. Brian Monahan, the Capitol's attending physician, said that coronavirus tests will be available for congressional staffers and senators who are symptomatic, but there is insufficient capacity to proactively test all 100 senators.
Donald Trump has said more than once of late that anyone who wants a virus test can get one. Evidently, that's not true -- even in the U.S. Senate.

How to travel on the Tube if you have anxiety
Imogen GroomeThursday 17 Aug 2017 4:56 pm
(Picture: Daniella Birtley/metro.co.uk)
The first time I rode the London Underground was four years ago, when I was a budding student journalist off to work experience at a national newspaper.
As someone who'd barely been to London before that week, having grown up in the Cotswolds and then moved to Devon for my undergraduate studies, the only transport I was used to were buses chugging through the countryside or quiet trains sauntering along the south coast.
I was prepared for a whole new world of travel when I got to the Underground – but even though my journey only involved sitting on one line for 20 minutes, it was still the most terrifying thing I'd ever experienced.
Everyone was moving at 100mph, the trains whooshed by so frequently I couldn't catch my breath, and once I stepped inside I was immediately flattened into a wall.
'It's fine. I'm just going to die in this metal box. It's fine. I'm fine. We're all fine,' I thought, trying not to hyperventilate.
As someone who grew up regularly having panic attacks and experiencing both generalised and social anxiety, I found those feelings of fear came flooding back the minute I got thrown down the Victoria line for the first time.
My panic peaked again when the line suddenly stopped. 'Oh, good lord, what fresh hell is this,' I thought, closing my eyes and counting to ten. I opened my eyes, and everyone seemed totally unruffled.
Hello? Was nobody not the slightest bit concerned that we were trapped in a darkened sardine tin? What was even going on? Was there a fault with the train? Was there a fire? Were we all going to explode in a blazing inferno within the next few minutes?
Needless to say, I was terrified of the Tube – and when I moved here last year, it took a few months to stop seeing it as 'the portable sauna of doom'.
That being said, I still feel a bit on edge whenever my line suddenly stops, even though I plaster on a look of deadpan nonchalance and bury my face in a book to hide the fact I'd dearly love a paper bag to quietly hyperventilate into until we're on the move again.
I can't be the only one who feels a bit panicky whenever they step into a sardine tin – sorry, train carriage. So what can we do to manage the anxiety that rises during travel?
Stephen Buckley, Head of Information at Mind, told metro.co.uk: 'People who experience anxiety disorders and panic attacks may find it particularly difficult to travel on public transport, especially the London Underground.
'That's because commonly cited triggers for anxiety problems include things like crowds, confined spaces and high temperatures – all of which are common across the capital's Tube network.
'However, having anxiety needn't prevent you travelling by Underground. There are lots of things you can do to minimise the impact of potentially stressful situations.
'Planning your journey, allowing plenty of time and asking a trusted friend or family member to accompany you can all help.
'Additionally, try to avoid particularly busy times when people are travelling to and from work.
'Some people find meditation and mindfulness helpful to try to slow your heart rate and breathing.'
If you're feeling unnerved by sounds or sudden stops and starts, make the most of your smartphone – Anxiety UK has a partnership with the meditation app Headspace, which provides accessible mindfulness on mobile devices.
Are there any lifestyle changes people can make to aid anxiety on public transport? Nicky Lidbetter, Chief Executive at Anxiety UK, said: 'Paying attention to diet, such as reducing caffeine intake, is important – as is taking regular exercise.
'This can reduce overall levels of anxiety and therefore lower the likelihood of a panic attack whilst travelling.'
Buckley added: 'If your anxiety is impacting on your day-to-day life, it is worth talking to your GP. In addition to things like talking therapy, meditation and exercise, medication is available, which some people find helpful.'
TfL have committed to reducing the impact of travelling by Underground for those who have anxiety, panic attacks and difficulty travelling in confined spaces. A map was recently released aimed at people with anxiety and claustrophobia, in order to help people plan their journeys and avoid potential triggers.
So don't worry – we're not doomed to dreading our commutes. Things will get easier.
If you're looking for further support with anxiety, you can contact Anxiety UK to access a range of support services, or visit the Mind website for additional resources.

The Gut Microbiome and Its Role in Health and Disease
Author Jaclynn Moskow , 11-Feb-2021
The gut microbiome helps control intestinal digestion and the immune system.
It is difficult to overstate the importance and complexity of the gut microbiome. It does so much more than just impact the gastrointestinal system and intestine. Humans live in symbiosis with hundreds (and possibly thousands) of species of bacteria (1). Additionally, archaea, fungi, viruses, and protozoa are also present in our gut. In fact, only about 10% of the cells within our bodies are "ours" and contain human DNA. The remaining 90% of cells we carry with us are microbial. The exact makeup of the gut microbiome varies greatly from individual to individual and is influenced by variables that include diet, exercise, medication use, sleep, stress, hormonal changes, aging, and disease. Associations have been found between the composition of the microbiome and obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, allergies, mood disorders, and more.
Why Do We Have a Gut Microbiome?
The gut bacteria participate in the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates and in the breakdown of endogenous intestinal mucus. They also synthesize vitamin K2 and various B group vitamins, and they influence the development of gut-associated lymphoid tissues and the development of cells of the immune system (2) and serve to limit the colonization of pathogenic bacteria. The majority of these bacteria are anaerobic. Common genera of this microbiota include Escherichia, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus.
The Gut Microbiota and COVID-19
A recent study examined the connection between the gut microbiome and COVID-19. Investigators found that patients hospitalized for COVID-19 had an increase in certain bacterial species and a decrease in others when compared to a control group, even after antibiotic use was accounted for (19). They found a negative correlation between disease severity and concentrations of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Eubacterium rectale. Patients were monitored for 30 days post-recovery, and the observed changes persisted. They postulated that these changes may contribute to the persistence of symptoms and multi-system inflammation that is sometimes seen with patients who have recovered from COVID-19.
How Does Impact Obesity?
In recent years, many studies have examined associations between the gut microbiome and obesity. When germ-free mice are colonized with gut bacteria from obese ones, they gain weight; but when they are colonized with gut bacteria from lean ones, they do not gain weight (3). They also gain weight when they are colonized with bacteria from severely overweight humans. In a discordant twin study, colonization from obese twins caused them to gain weight while colonization from their lean siblings did not (4). Some believe the ratio of Bacteroidetes bacteria to Firmicutes bacteria may play a significant role as well. One study found that as severely overweight individuals lose weight, the concentration of Bacteroidetes bacteria increases (5). Furthermore, genetically obese mice contain a higher proportion of Firmicutes bacteria than thin ones consuming the same diet, and thin mice contain more Bacteroidetes bacteria than overweight ones consuming the same diet (6). When investigators employed machine learning to study this topic, they concluded that the association between the Bacteroidetes / Firmicutes ratio and obesity is relatively weak and that existing studies lack significant sample sizes (7). The science is far from settled.
What About Diabetes and Gut Health?
Studies have also investigated the link between the gut microbiome and diabetes. Some speculate that in individuals who are genetically susceptible to type 1 diabetes, it is ultimately a shift in the gut microbiome that triggers the onset (8). The gut microbiome of children with type 1 diabetes has been found to be less diverse than that of children without the disease (9). A recent review of 42 studies that examined the gut microbiome and type 2 diabetes found Bifidobacterium bacteria, Bacteroides bacteria, Faecalibacterium bacteria, Akkermansia bacteria, and Roseburia bacteria to be negatively associated with type 2 diabetes; and Ruminococcus bacteria, Fusobacterium bacteria, and Blautia bacteria to be positively associated (10). Other work has shown that when individuals with metabolic syndrome were given fecal transplants from healthy donors, insulin resistance improved (11).
Don't Forget Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease
The ratio of Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes bacteria in the microbiome has also been implicated in hypertension. Consuming milk fermented with Lactobacilli bacteria can lower blood pressure in some cases, and Lactobacilli produce peptides that can inhibit ACE1 (12). The same bacterial species found within the atherosclerotic lesions of individuals with cardiovascular disease are found in their gut (13). Additionally, Akkermansia muciniphila bacteria may have a cardioprotective effect. Investigators observed that when mice were fed a Western diet, they experienced a decrease in Akkermansia muciniphila and an increase in atherosclerotic lesions. When these same mice were recolonized with Akkermansia muciniphila, a reversal in atherosclerotic lesions was observed (14).
But Wait There's More: Autoimmune Disorders, and Allergies Are Impacted Too
Components of the gut microbiome may be involved in eliciting or quelling immune responses that lead to the development of autoimmune disorders and allergies. Antibodies directed against a yeast species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have been found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, and Crohn's Disease (15). Individuals with these conditions show an increase in the numbers of certain bacterial species and a decrease in other species – as do individuals with multiple sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, and celiac disease. The ratio of Clostridium difficile bacteria to Bifidobacterium bacteria in infants has been associated with food and aero-allergies, and high levels of fecal Escherichia coli bacteria in infants are associated with IgE-mediated eczema (16).
The Human Gut Microbiome and Neuropsychiatric Disorders
The central nervous system and enteric nervous system (together known as the gut-brain axis) are both influenced by the gut microbiome. Bacteria in the gut can directly secrete neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, GABA, and histamine. This is especially interesting since there are a lot of receptors for these neurotransmitters throughout the gastrointestinal system and intestine. Several studies have shown that patients with bipolar and major depressive disorder have an increase in Actinobacteria bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae bacteria, and a decrease in Faecalibacterium (17). Mice treated with Lactobacillus rhamnosus bacteria have reduced anxiety/depression-like behavior and altered expression of GABA receptors (18). Differences in microbiome composition have also been noted in patients with schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, and an autism spectrum disorder.
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Clostridium Difficile Colitis
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is currently being used as a treatment for Clostridium difficile colitis. In fact, FMT is more effective than vancomycin in treating recurrent Clostridium difficile colitis. Most commonly, FMT is performed via colonoscopy. Nasoduodenal tubes, nasogastric tubes, and enemas can also be used. FMT made headlines in 2019 when a transplant recipient died, and several others became seriously ill, after becoming colonized with multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli bacteria. This led the FDA to recommend new safety measures for FMTs, including screening donors for risk factors associated with carrying multi-drug-resistant organisms and testing all donor stools for such organisms.
Optimizing the Microbiome for Stomach Health and Staying Healthy
In many regards, studying the microbiome and gut bacteria within often leads to more questions than answers. When a change in bacterial levels is observed in a disease state, it is sometimes difficult to know whether that change contributed to the disease state or merely resulted from it. Anyone who seeks to convince you that they know the perfect solution to optimizing gut health is misleading you. While a host of food products and health supplements are touted to enhance the gut microbiome, in most cases the details of this "enhancement" are not defined. As additional studies are conducted, we will gain a better understanding of this vast topic and will likely see an increase in the utilization of fecal transplants in treating various diseases. After all, the healthy human microbiome is a critical part of staying healthy.

Orchestra Music Enhances Presentation Of 'Pirates'
The Modesto Symphony Orchestra (MSO) performs Disney In Concert: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on Friday, March 8 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, March 9 at 2 p.m. at the Gallo Center for the Arts in Modesto.
Associate Conductor Ryan Murray will lead the MSO and men of the MSO Chorus in a live performance of Klaus Badelt's thrilling musical score based on themes of Hans Zimmer while the film is projected on a large screen above the stage.
"There is nothing like hearing a vibrant movie score performed live by a full orchestra," said Caroline Nickel, President and CEO of the Modesto Symphony Orchestra Association. "This is the second season in a row that the MSO has presented a full-feature movie with orchestra accompaniment and to see a movie with the music performed live really heightens the experience. This is a recent innovative presentation for symphony orchestras and we are excited to have this opportunity to bring it to Modesto. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is the perfect choice as it has such an iconic film score – the audience is going to be enthralled."
Murray's dynamic conducting, natural musicality and deeply held passion for the arts have allowed him to steadily build a robust career since his professional debut at the age of just 22. Murray is currently the Associate Conductor for the Modesto Symphony Orchestra and Music Director for the Modesto Symphony Youth Orchestra; with whom he made his conducting debut at Carnegie Hall in 2014. Since his appointment in 2013, Murray has consistently worked to improve the quality, skill and prominence of the youth orchestra, and now leads an ensemble that features over 60 students. He is also Music Director of Townsend Opera and Resident Conductor of the Music in the Mountains Summer Festival in Nevada County, California. He is the newly appointed Director of Orchestras and Opera at California State University, Sacramento, and also directs the orchestra at CSU Stanislaus.
Murray holds degrees, summa cum laude, in Bassoon Performance and Voice Performance from California State University, Sacramento.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl stars Johnny Depp as the roguish charming Captain Jack Sparrow whose idyllic pirate life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa, steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the governor's beautiful daughter Elizabeth (Keira Knightly.) In a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl, Elizabeth's childhood friend Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) joins forces with Jack. What Will doesn't know is that a cursed treasure has doomed Barbossa and his crew to live forever as the undead.
The performance is scheduled at the Gallo Center for the Arts, Mary Stuart Rogers Theater, 1000 I St., Modesto. Tickets range from $19 to $98 and are available through the Gallo Center for the Arts Ticket Office at (209) 338-2100 or www.modestosymphony.org.
Ticket office hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays, noon to 6 p.m.
The concert is sponsored by Boyett Petroleum and the presentation is licensed by Disney Concerts. The Modesto Symphony Orchestra is a Resident Company of The Gallo Center for the Arts.


You started blogging with great intentions. You started with a bang and in the process exhausted all of your awesome ideas. Now, a few weeks in, you are struggling to come up with topic ideas. That spells trouble for anyone with true intentions of blogging professionally.
Or, perhaps you are great with ideation. You are religiously publishing a new post every week. Now, you want to ramp up your publishing schedule and publish more blog posts every week.
Even if you don't see yourself as either of the above examples, it's always good to have a list of ideas to work with.
So, what can you do to come up with more and more ideas?
But once you come up with an idea, what if you could create multiple blog posts using that single idea?
Yes, it is possible! Let's call it the multiplier effect.
That's 10 blog post ideas right there!
Let's work with an example.
At the outset, determine which types of blog posts you can create with this idea. A little thought reveals that your chosen topic lends itself to all of the aforementioned types of blog posts. Cha-ching!
Now, let's see how we can use the KonMari idea to create 10 blog posts. The objective of each of these posts will be to help your readers determine whether they should adopt the KonMari techniques in their daily life.
List / Top 5: This could be a list of advantages and/or disadvantages of the KonMari techniques.
(Expert) roundup: This could be a roundup post citing short reviews of the KonMari techniques from organizational experts.
How to / Tutorial / Instructional: This could be an actual tutorial of the KonMari techniques of decluttering. Create a step-by-step guide aka user manual for your readers.
Ultimate guide / Long-form / Research-based: This could be an extensive post evaluating the KonMari techniques. Think of it as an in-depth review.
Opinion-based / Review: This could be a subjective post about the KonMari technique. It will highlight what YOU think about the techniques. It is NOT an in-depth objective review.
Opposing view / different perspective / guest post: This could be an opposing view of the KonMari techniques, i.e. why your readers should NOT adopt it. Essentially, by writing this post, you want to go against the grain. Or, you could write a pro post while a guest blogger can write an anti post or vice versa. Write it as a narrative.
Case study / Problem and solution / Success or failure story: This could illustrate an example of a KonMari follower and their story from point A to point B. You could begin with a problem statement of the user and then show how adopting the KonMari techniques did or did not help alleviate that problem.
Infographic: This could be a visual chart of the KonMari techniques. Summarize your findings of the methods (such as statistics, techniques, advantages, disadvantages, etc.) and present them as an infographic. Great boost for your Pinterest account as well!
Podcast: This could be an audio version of your findings of the KonMari technique. Make it long or short.
Video: This could be an audio version of your findings of the KonMari technique. Make it long or short, but videos usually work best when they are short (5 minutes or less) and focus on the key points.
There. One great idea. 10 awesome blog posts.
It's time you get started with your own multiplier effect.
How do you come up with ideas for your blog? Share in the comments section below.
Love that you provided an actual example! Pinning this for later when I am stuck on ideas!
Great Post! I will definitely be referring back to this when I get writer's block.
That's amazing! I always have troubles in finding ideas for new posts, since I get the inspiration usually in waves.
I get stuck on blog post ideas all the time! What a great post!
Great blog with awesome tips, thanks!!
Awesome! It is difficult to come up with ideas sometimes so this definitely helps!
Fun tip! I'll use this next time I'm stuck.

In his second stint with the Cavaliers, LeBron James delivered a long-awaited NBA title in 2016.
His greatest talent, more than the chase-down block and the floating fadeaway shot and the court vision and the ability to showcase on the floor like no big man before, is his sense of timing. That's why he's going to the Los Angeles Lakers. It's time, you see.
LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in 2010 because hooking up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh presented his best chance to finally win a championship. He returned to the Cavs four years later to fulfill a broken promise and give Cleveland the chance to throw the world's happiest block party when that suffering city finally snapped its 52-year professional sports championship spell, making him a civic immortal in the process.
And now the four-time MVP and 14-time All-Star is headed to the Lakers, the tinsel franchise, and this choice is equal parts personal and professional.
This is the city where his iconic basketball career will most likely end and his post-career will begin.
Why LeBron James left Cleveland for Los Angeles.
This is where he can play for a man he respects, Magic Johnson, and on a team that can be built into a beast.
This is where his family enjoys living and his teenaged son, Bronny, can become engaged in the competitive Southern California prep basketball scene.
This is where LeBron, who has a film production company, can gain a firmer foothold in the entertainment business, which by all accounts is where he wants to make his next fortune.
Yes, it's time, for LeBron and obviously the Lakers, and this sense of clockwork just might work out tremendously for both.
Their paths were careening towards a welcome collision that shook the NBA Sunday when LeBron announced he will sign a free agent deal with the Lakers. And not a short-term deal, either, as he did in Miami and throughout his second tour with the Cavs. No, LeBron is locked in for four years, and that means he's willing to give Magic enough time to stitch together a good enough squad to make the Golden State Warriors twitchy.
He joins a bunch of green bananas that's not quite ready for June … but wait another 15 minutes because Magic isn't done yet. The Lakers missed out on Paul George, who announced plans to re-sign with Oklahoma City. And Chris Paul, best buds with LeBron, took the Rockets' money and stayed put. But there's enough salary cap flex and assets to re-arrange the furniture overnight if the Lakers choose. They're still in the sweepstakes for disgruntled star and LA-native Kawhi Leonard and have interest in signing free agent center DeMarcus Cousins. If neither of those options are in play this year, Magic seems more than willing to keep his young team intact and wait until the summer of 2019.
Why the patience? Well, Leonard will be an unrestricted free agent then, if he doesn't have a change of heart and signs a contract extension with San Antonio (or wherever he spends the 2018-19 season). There's Jimmy Butler and Kemba Walker ready to reach the marketplace. Also, Klay Thompson, whose father Mychal draws a Laker paycheck as a team broadcaster, hits free agency next summer, and signing him would weaken the Warriors in the process.
LeBron James took the Cavs to unprecedented heights in 2016.
Anyway, who knows, maybe Kyle Kuzma or Brandon Ingram or Lonzo Ball (or Julius Randle if he re-signs) will by then develop into potential stars or important pieces on a contender. What's great about the Lakers' situation is they have options, and most are good and promising, and half of their problems are already solved because they have LeBron, a licensed one-man NBA Finals hauling crew.
It says plenty about Magic and owner Jeanie Buss that LeBron found the Lakers intriguing enough to leave Cleveland and sign up. When Buss assumed controlling interest of the franchise three years ago, she sought Magic's counsel and then hired him to run the basketball operations. It was a solid match, these old friends, with Jeanie Buss providing the necessary resources to polish a franchise gone stale, and Magic radiating with appeal and still carrying clout among potential free agents.
He promised Buss that the necessary steps would be taken to develop stars and acquire stars, something the Lakers have done habitually and brilliantly in their history and especially under the late Jerry Buss. This is where Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Shaquille O'Neal arrived and tasted success, and where Jerry West and Kobe Bryant spent their entire careers.
No question, Jeanie Buss and Magic Johnson sold all that glam to LeBron. They probably all but promised him a statue outside the crowded Staples Center entrance and the chance to have a third jersey retired (after Cleveland and Miami eventually do what's right and expected).
On Sunday, the first day of free agency, Magic was at LeBron's home in LA, no doubt in full charming mode. Although that probably wasn't terribly necessary. As a student of the game with an appreciation for history, LeBron already had a measure of admiration for Magic the player. But it was Magic the executive who sealed LeBron's signature by moving mountains in a matter of mere months on the job. Magic cleared the salary cap of lead poison (with only Luol Deng's remaining $38 million clunker left) while loading up on percolating young talent in Ingram, Kuzma, Ball and Josh Hart. The blueprint to fetch LeBron was done quickly, early and smoothly, allowing the Lakers to improve from within and beyond.
Isiah Thomas says LeBron James once again bet on himself in his career.
When you consider the entire enthralling package — on-hand talent and room to add another A-list player or two, and star-struck Hollywood heavyweights sitting courtside and willing to do business with the game's best player — it just seemed the right move for LeBron at the right time.
If you wish to cast a wary eye at an all-time great who's on the move once again, at least applaud him for taking the harder road this time. He could've remained in the Easy East and joined the up-and-coming Sixers or stayed in Cleveland and made a ninth consecutive run for the Finals. Instead, he's venturing West and just down the street from the Warriors, and doing it — at the moment, anyway — without a fellow superstar riding shotgun.
And there's risk. He brings 15 seasons of heavy wear from deep runs into June at a high level. He'll turn 34 next season; while LeBron was brilliant at age 33, sometimes Father Time comes knocking without warning or compassion. In that sense, he's on the clock, and the closer he creeps to the last year of that contract, the more help he'll need to keep playing into June.
Sports Illustrated's Lee Jenkins explains LeBron's move to L.A.
Regardless where and how far he goes yearly with the Lakers, LeBron stressed how much his family would have a major voice in his next stop. The move to Miami was mainly selfish. The return to Cleveland was more out of a sense of duty and to gain a measure of public acceptance. Here, the family weighs in. They love the lifestyle and obvious advantages of being in LA. This was a group decision after a huddle.
Plus, it's not lost on LeBron how Magic became a corporation after retirement, thanks to powerful LA connections. LeBron wants to produce movies and documentaries and be on the forefront of a changing entertainment landscape. He can now rub the same shoulders as he begins to build an empire that's heavily influenced by Hollywood and technology.
So this feels right, seems right for LeBron James, who'll likely hold multiple major NBA career records and basketball achievements before he's done. This move represents a twist to his legacy, an opportunity to align himself among the long line of Laker greats and a win-win for his family and business interests. It's his final basketball lap which he hopes turns into a victory lap.
It's the right place, right time and right team for yet another superstar who's just right for the Lakers.

When it comes to outdoor lighting, LED lights are one of the most popular options around. LED, or light-emitting diode, is a form of landscape lighting that is eco-friendly and cost-effective as LED outdoor lights are generally eighty percent more efficient. Outdoor LED lighting fixtures last longer than incandescent lighting, even up to thirty years, but the cost for replacing a bulb in these exterior light fixtures is much higher. However, because of the low heat output, outdoor LED lights are not suitable for cold climates, such as the north, because heavy snowfall will cause problems as it accumulates on the lights. If in the winter time you get snowfall, it is best to browse our other energy-efficient exterior lighting, as it will probably suit your needs better than LED outdoor lighting.

Boy Scouts of America: Official Handbook. First Edition, 1st Printing ~ 1911
New York: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1911. Boy Scouts of America: The Official Handbook for Boys First edition Rare first edition, first issue of the official Boy Scout Handbook in the scarce maroon covers. Approximately 100,000 copies of the olive drab covers were issued, while only 5,250 of the maroon were issued. Following the hastily prepared temporary handbook in 1910, the year the Boy Scouts of America was founded, the BSA attempted to address several glaring omissions by forming an editorial board to guide the production of the book, and assigning subject matter experts to pen individual chapters. The result was the first official Boy Scout Handbook, with the forward by Ernest Thompson Seton summing up its goals: "We send out our 'Official Handbook,' therefore, with the earnest wish that many boys may find in it new methods for the proper use of their leisure time and fresh inspiration in their efforts to make their hours of recreation contribute to strong, noble manhood in the days to come." Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1911. pp. [i], xiv, 404, [1] + 27 pages of ads. First issue with 1911 on both title page and verso. In good to very good condition, with significant wear to covers, creasing to pages, and cracks and losses to spine. The binding remains tight, internally clean but for some soiling to the first few pages.

Chiamata in onore della città di Skotterud, in Norvegia, la Skutterudite è un minerale arsenide al cobalto con quantità variabili di nichel e ferro; la sua formula generale è CoAs3, anche se secondo alcuni l'indice dell'arsenico è 2. Se con grandi quantità di nichel, il minerale viene definito come nickelskutterudite; quest'ultima era precedentemente nota come clantite. È un minerale idrotermale in quantità a temperatura moderata o alta, trobato assieme ad altri minerali del nichel e del cobalto. Minerali ad esso associati sono l'arsenopirite, l'argento nativo, l'eritrite, l'annabergite, la niccolite, la cobaltite, il bismuto nativo, la calcite, la siderite, la barite, e il quarzo. Dalla skutterudite viene estratto l'arsenico.

Il minerale ha una lucentezza metallica, con colorazione quasi bianca, essendo di grigio chiaro, con striscio nero. La sua gravità specifica è di 6,5 e la sua durezza va da 5,5 a 6. La sua struttura cristallina è isometrica con forme cubiche e ottaedrali simili a quelle della pirite. Il contenuto di arsenico gli conferisce un odore di aglio se riscaldato o schiacciato. Le caratteristiche tecnologiche che contraddistinguono la sua struttura cristallina fanno di questo minerale un ottimo materiale termoelettrico a bassa conduttività termica.

Venne scoperto nelle miniere di Skuterud, a Modum, nella contea di Viken, in Norvegia, nel 1845. Un suo sinonimo è smaltite. Notevoli giacimenti sono stati trovati a Cobalt, nell'Ontario, a Skuterud, in Norvegia, e a , nel New Jersey. I rari minerali arsenidi sono classificati nel gruppo minerale dei solfuri, anche se non contiene zolfo.

Struttura cristallina
La struttura cristallina del minerale di skutterudite venne determinata nel 1928 da Oftedahl; essa apparve cubica, con un gruppo spaziale Im-3 (numero 204). La cella di unità può essere costituita da 8 cubi più piccoli costituiti da atomi di cobalto. 6 di questi cubi sono chiusi da anelli quasi quadrati di arsenico, ciascuno orientato parallelamente al bordo di una della cella di unità. Gli atomi di arsenico formano così una struttura ottaedrica, con il cobalto al centro.

Forma in cui si presenta in natura
Aggregati massivi o reniformi, cristalli.

The need for branding! Now, it's the time to gain your online presence and grow your audience to expand your business growth and efficiency. Branding in a web design business plays a prevailing role to maximize your business productivity.
The foremost thing for your business is the web design. It says a lot about your brand and it is the only element to increase your market value in the digitally growing world. From color combination to spacing each and every element helps the audience to connect with your business. So, the design aspects shouldn't be noisy and bold as it can distract visitors from coming.
01: The Color Theory: Color says a lot about your brand, the color you choose decides either the visitor will stay on your website or not. It evokes emotion, for example, the sea blue color is the sign of peace and purity whereas green gives earthy feelings. This is called the color theory.
Once you have find out the color that best suits your brand, integrate them into your website. Choose a decent background color and apply it to the header, images and illustrations if used. Color combination can attract or shutdown visitors. Choose them wisely!
02: Simpler Fonts: As your website color, the fonts should be uniform across the board. Fonts offer a range of variety but using them all on your websites can give a headache to visitors. Instead of overloading website with different types of fonts, it's better to use two different fonts that complement each other and is attuned to your brand style.
When the visitors come to your website their sole purpose is to find what they need, they only care about the readability of the text. And readability comes when you don't use variety of fonts. Instead, you should make your text simple and 100% readable.
03: Add your personal Details: In today's digitally evolving world people are most attracted to the thing that seems real. If your website doesn't have the details about you, how can people be touched by your brand? There are many business online who provide web design and development at an affordable price but to make your business stand out you need to think out of the box strategies.
A good point is to craft a mission statement that tells customers who are you and how your services can facilitate their needs. Keep it precise and to the point. Once you are done with the mission statement add a short profile about how you started and what is your destination.
Also, adding customer reviews on your site is an effective medium to gain popularity among your audience. It secures your positions and adds credibility to your brand. Reserve someplace on the home page, add your client's story and how you helped them. By doing this you give your customer the chance to trust your services.
04: Build Long-lasting Relationships: When running a business it is not smart to keep your clients limited to their project only. That means shutting down the communications when their project is completed. The key to success for any business depends on the happy clients they have. When working on any project make sure you don't miss even the minute detail they told you about and work beyond their expectations. This is a smart effort to keep your customers in line with your business.
Apart from serving the quality work you can also send your clients the new packages just arrived in your business. The benefits of web design services are that exciting features and new trends keep coming. So, you can market this trend as additional services in your business.
05: Integrate Social Media: For a strong profile in digital world integrating social media in your business is the key to gain effective audience engagements. Instead of just including social media buttons on your website, businesses should go beyond it so that customers can connect to your brand wherever they want. A great tip is to hire an expert who can manage your social accounts proficiently.
06: Learn the art to Sell: The strong point about web designing is that its market is bigger and have a lot to offer. By building a strong social media presence online you can engage your intended audience. You can also exhibit your portfolio online so the client becomes familiar with your work and trust your identity.
The best way to engage your audience is 'Visual Storytelling'. Customers have the higher chances of engagements in brand when they know how their brand has evolved with the time.
07: Adopt what is new: For a web design business it is essential to keep yourself updated with the innovations striking this field. Because without it you'll be left behind in the race!
For example adopting Search Engine Optimization techniques in your website design helps to boost your website because there a bunch of websites who want to be on first page of Google but Google prefer those websites that are fully optimized and cleverly better.
If you are planning to foster your web design business growth then these tips will definitely help you.

Dane "DC" Grant: Consider the Isle of Wight well & truly WALKED!
Consider the Isle of Wight well & truly WALKED!
This past weekend saw the family head out to the Isle of Wight to take part in Walk the Wight '08 "An annual charity event in aid of the Earl Mountbatten Hospice on the Isle of Wight". A record 10,000 people turned up on Sunday's 13 mile and 26 mile walk, which could probably be put down to the fact that the weather was in near perfect condition.
Night fell and so did the rain. In our attempt to lighten the backpacks we left behind some of the heavier items such as 10pound hammers, tons of steel tent pegs, 5 star luxury spa bath, etc etc. Which meant we ended up getting a bit wet as the wind thrashed the flimsy tent around letting water in.
Needless to say we hardly got much sleep that night.
The next day came and we were off. Starting our way up and down some very steep hills and through narrow walk paths stopping only now and again to catch a breath, eat snacks to refuel and at the various check-points along the route.
We finished the 13miler at Carisbrook Castle, collected our medals and decided to call it a day. A quick photo finish with the Mayor (We go way back...we're practically best buddies) and then set off on our way back to the mainland.
Overall the walk itself was very picturesque and something I will certainly do again ..... minus the rucksack and this time go the full 26miles!!!
