Magicians Of The Gods
Author by Graham Hancock
Editor : Coronet
Graham Hancock's multi-million bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods remains an astonishing, deeply controversial, wide-ranging investigation of the mysteries of our past and the evidence for Earth's lost civilization. Twenty years on, Hancock returns with a book filled with completely new, scientific and archaeological evidence, which has only recently come to light... The evidence revealed in this book shows beyond reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age was destroyed in the global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago. Near the end of the last Ice Age 12,800 years ago, a giant comet that had entered the solar system from deep space thousands of years earlier, broke into multiple fragments. Some of these struck the Earth causing a global cataclysm on a scale unseen since the extinction of the dinosaurs. At least eight of the fragments hit the North American ice cap, while further fragments hit the northern European ice cap. The impacts, from comet fragments a mile wide approaching at more than 60,000 miles an hour, generated huge amounts of heat which instantly liquidized millions of square kilometres of ice, destabilizing the Earth's crust and causing the global Deluge that is remembered in myths all around the world. A second series of impacts, equally devastating, causing further cataclysmic flooding, occurred 11,600 years ago, the exact date that Plato gives for the destruction and submergence of Atlantis. But there were survivors - known to later cultures by names such as 'the Sages', 'the Magicians', 'the Shining Ones', and 'the Mystery Teachers of Heaven'. They travelled the world in their great ships doing all in their power to keep the spark of civilization burning. They settled at key locations - Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Baalbek in the Lebanon, Giza in Egypt, ancient Sumer, Mexico, Peru and across the Pacific where a huge pyramid has recently been discovered in Indonesia. Everywhere they went these 'Magicians of the Gods' brought with them the memory of a time when mankind had fallen out of harmony with the universe and paid a heavy price. A memory and a warning to the future... For the comet that wrought such destruction between 12,800 and 11,600 years may not be done with us yet. Astronomers believe that a 20-mile wide 'dark' fragment of the original giant comet remains hidden within its debris stream and threatens the Earth. An astronomical message encoded at Gobekli Tepe, and in the Sphinx and the pyramids of Egypt,warns that the 'Great Return' will occur in our time...
Fingerprints Of The Gods
Genre : Science
Editor : Crown
Could the story of mankind be far older than we have previously believed? Using tools as varied as archaeo-astronomy, geology, and computer analysis of ancient myths, Graham Hancock presents a compelling case to suggest that it is. "A fancy piece of historical sleuthing . . . intriguing and entertaining and sturdy enough to give a long pause for thought."—Kirkus Reviews In Fingerprints of the Gods, Hancock embarks on a worldwide quest to put together all the pieces of the vast and fascinating jigsaw of mankind's hidden past. In ancient monuments as far apart as Egypt's Great Sphinx, the strange Andean ruins of Tihuanaco, and Mexico's awe-inspiring Temples of the Sun and Moon, he reveals not only the clear fingerprints of an as-yet-unidentified civilization of remote antiquity, but also startling evidence of its vast sophistication, technological advancement, and evolved scientific knowledge. A record-breaking number one bestseller in Britain, Fingerprints of the Gods contains the makings of an intellectual revolution, a dramatic and irreversible change in the way that we understand our past—and so our future. And Fingerprints of God tells us something more. As we recover the truth about prehistory, and discover the real meaning of ancient myths and monuments, it becomes apparent that a warning has been handed down to us, a warning of terrible cataclysm that afflicts the Earth in great cycles at irregular intervals of time—a cataclysm that may be about to recur. "Readers will hugely enjoy their quest in these pages of inspired storytelling."—The Times (UK)

"With the original unabridged text of Supernatural, I offer the reader an investigation that explores the human experience with psychedelics from the Stone Age to the Space Age and the role of these extraordinary plant medicines as tools to investigate the nature of reality itself."—Graham Hancock Discover the pathway to the gods. Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Visionary, Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to modern human mind. His quest takes him on a journey of adventure and detection from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to remote rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds a treasure trove of extraordinary Stone Age art. Hancock uncovers clues that lead him to travel to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful plant hallucinogen ayahuasca with Indian shamans, whose paintings contain images of "supernatural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves and rock shelters. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other "dimensions." Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted caves and rock shelters be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "blind," "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent, something that we have barely even begun to understand? Previously published as Supernatural, this definitive edition includes a new Introduction by Graham Hancock as well as restored chapters that were omitted from the original paperback release.
America Before The Key To Earth S Lost Civilization
***THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER*** 'Hancock's books provide a fascinating, alternative version of prehistory. America Before, detailed and wide-ranging, turns what was myth and legend into a new story of the past.' Daily Mail Was an advanced civilization lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age? Graham Hancock, the internationally bestselling author and television presenter, has made it his life's work to find out -- and in America Before, he draws on the latest archaeological and DNA evidence to bring his quest to a stunning conclusion. We've been taught that North and South America were empty of humans until around 13,000 years ago - amongst the last great landmasses on earth to have been settled by our ancestors. But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-established picture and we know now that the Americas were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago - many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere. Hancock's research takes us on a series of journeys and encounters with the scientists responsible for the recent extraordinary breakthroughs. In the process, from the Mississippi Valley to the Amazon rainforest, he reveals that ancient 'New World' cultures share a legacy of advanced scientific knowledge and sophisticated spiritual beliefs with supposedly unconnected 'Old World' cultures. Have archaeologists focussed for too long only on the 'Old World' in their search for the origins of civilization while failing to consider the revolutionary possibility that those origins might in fact be found in the 'New World'? America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilisation is the culmination of everything that millions of readers have loved in Hancock's body of work over the past decades, namely a mind-dilating exploration of the mysteries of the past, amazing archaeological discoveries and profound implications for how we lead our lives today.

The Magician King
Author by Lev Grossman
Return to Fillory in the riveting sequel to the New York Times bestseller and literary phenomenon, The Magicians, now an original series on SYFY, from the author of the #1 bestselling The Magician's Land. Quentin Coldwater should be happy. He escaped a miserable Brooklyn childhood, matriculated at a secret college for magic, and graduated to discover that Fillory—a fictional utopia—was actually real. But even as a Fillorian king, Quentin finds little peace. His old restlessness returns, and he longs for the thrills a heroic quest can bring. Accompanied by his oldest friend, Julia, Quentin sets off—only to somehow wind up back in the real world and not in Fillory, as they'd hoped. As the pair struggle to find their way back to their lost kingdom, Quentin is forced to rely on Julia's illicitly learned sorcery as they face a sinister threat in a world very far from the beloved fantasy novels of their youth.

With over 5 million copies sold worldwide of Fingerprints of the Gods, its New York Times bestselling sequel Magicians of the Gods brings new evidence supporting Hancock's thesis that a global cataclysm wiped out a great global civilization. On the heels of the very successful hardcover edition, Hancock returns with this paperback version including three new chapters brimming with recent reporting of fresh scientific advances (ranging from DNA to astrophysics) that substantially support his case. Twenty years ago, Graham Hancock published Fingerprints of the Gods an astonishing, deeply controversial investigation of the mysteries of and the evidence for Earth's lost prehistoric civilization. Twenty years after this massive bestseller debuted, Hancock returns with its sequel, filled with completely new scientific and archaeological evidence. Since 2007, a host of new proof has come to light supporting his theories through new archaeological discoveries. He travels to a wholly different set of ancient sites, including Gobekli Tepe, and brings entirely up to date and exciting material to the table for fans eagerly awaiting more evidence in favor of the prehistoric civilization. And, even more intriguing, he proposes an answer to the one question he could not answer in Fingerprints what caused this civilization to disappear. Magicians is poised perfectly for what his fans want to hear as well as for ushering in a new generation of readers.
Editor : Red Wheel Weiser
"[A] solid, fast-moving, metaphysical time-travel tale." —Library Journal Graham Hancock has spent decades researching and writing some of the most ambitious and successful nonfiction investigations into ancient civilizations and wisdom. Entangled uses all of Hancock's skills and knowledge to propel a fantasy adventure like nothing else preceding it. Entangled is a timeslip novel alternating between present day California, Brazil, and prehistoric Spain, with two teenage female protagonists who must come together to avert an incredibly bloodthirsty takeover of the human race. Entangled is the first book in a trilogy relating the story of an unrelentingly evil master magician named Sulpa who is on the loose and determined to destroy humanity. Leoni, a troubled teen from modern day Los Angeles, and Ria, a young woman who lives in Stone Age Spain, meet in a parallel dimension outside the flow of time to stop Sulpa's spectacular, deadly materialization of the modern world. Entangled rides a growing wave of interest in parallel dimensions and imaginary worlds and will have immediate appeal to readers of Philip Pullman, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Kate Mosse, among others. But Entangled has the added merit of being grounded in solid anthropological and scientific research. Hancock calls on his years of research into cutting edge issues, including the "Neanderthal Enigma," the nature of consciousness, the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics, parallel realms, time travel, and near death and out-of-body experiences.

Hello Pal to purchase Dogecoin and Litecoin mining assets
News Desk Send an email 20 April 2021
Hello Pal a provider of rapidly growing international live-streaming, language learning and social-crypto platform, has entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with a company controlled by Shanghai Yitang Data Technology Co. Ltd. ("Yitang") to acquire an initial 51% interest in 12,500 mining rigs dedicated to mining Dogecoin (DOGE) and Litecoin (LTC) (the "Mining Assets"), with an option to increase such interest to 100% (the "Transaction"). The Mining Assets provide a combined hash rate of 6.25 TH/s, which amounts to 2.1% of the entire current LTC network hash rate.
The transaction previously announced by the Company on March 8, 2021 has been amended such that the Company will no longer acquire an interest in a single cryptocurrency mining facility, but rather has entered into a guaranteed services agreement (the "Guaranteed Services Agreement") with Yitang to ensure that its Mining Assets are hosted across multiple locations so as to ensure diversification of risk against potential future local governmental regulations that may adversely affect cryptocurrency mining, as well as to take advantage of variations in electricity costs in different geographical areas according to seasonal weather patterns. Pursuant to the Guaranteed Services Agreement, Yitang will guarantee the hosting of the Mining Assets as well as power supply and will provide management and hosting services.
The consideration for the Transaction is C$1,500,000 payable in cash and 1,800,000 units of the Company (the "Consideration Units") valued at C$2,250,000. Each Consideration Unit will have a deemed value of C$1.25 and consist of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Consideration Warrant"). Each Consideration Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of C$2.00 for a period of two years from the date of issue.
For a period of two years following the completion of the Transaction, the Company will have the option to acquire a further 49% interest in the Mining Assets (for a total interest of 100%) for an additional payment, as to half in cash and half in Common Shares (the number of Common Shares to be determined in the context of the market), where the valuation of the Mining Assets is dependent on their net profit over a 12-month period immediately preceding the date on which this option is exercised, multiplied by a formulated multiplier.
"With the signing of the definitive agreement with Yitang, we have taken the next step towards having cryptocurrency as an integral part of Hello Pal," said KL Wong, Founder and Chairman of the Company.
Completion of the Transaction is expected to occur before the end of April 2021 and is subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to: (a) completion of a due diligence report by a "Big Four" accounting firm on the Mining Assets in a form satisfactory to the Company; (b) the receipt of all necessary approvals from the Company's board of directors; (c) the receipt of all required consents and approvals, including without limitation, approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange; and (d) satisfaction of the escrow release conditions in connection with the previously announced private placement of subscription receipts.
"We are also ecstatic that our choice of cryptocurrencies to mine seems to have been validated especially by the recent incredible surge in market interest and activity of Dogecoin. As far as we are aware, upon completion of this transaction, we shall be the only publicly listed company with primary exposure to Dogecoin," added Mr. Wong.

Polyethylene particles stimulate expression of ITAM-related molecules in peri-implant tissues and when stimulating osteoclastogenesis in vitro
Ekram Alias, A. S S K Dharmapatni, A. C. Holding, G. J. Atkins, D. M. Findlay, D. W. Howie, T. N. Crotti, D. R. Haynes
Wear particle-induced orthopaedic prosthesis loosening is associated with elevated osteoclast activity. The immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-related molecules OSCAR, FcRγ, TREM2 and DAP12 are important for osteoclast formation. The aim of this study was to determine if these molecules are involved in peri-implant loosening by investigating their expression in peri-implant tissues obtained at revision of joint replacement components containing polyethylene (PE) wear particles, and in osteoclasts formed in vitro in the presence of PE particles. The results showed that there was a marked and statistically significant increase in protein levels of the ITAM-related molecules in the revision tissues. The levels of OSCAR, FcRγ, TREM2 and DAP12 mRNA in the revision tissues were also increased. In vitro PE particles stimulated osteoclast resorption in the presence of 50 ng ml -1 receptor activator NFκB (RANKL) and significantly elevated the expression of OSCAR, FcRγ, TREM2 and DAP12 during osteoclast formation. These findings suggest that the ITAM signalling molecules and their co-receptors have a role in pathogenic bone loss associated with implant PE wear.

NEW YORK (AP) — Defenseman Ryan Lindgren barely beat the third-period buzzer to lift the New York Rangers to a 5-4 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday night and extend their home winning streak to five games.
Lindgren stunned Sabres netminder Aaron Dell by taking a pass from Mika Zibanejad and rifling the puck into the net for his second goal of the season at 19:59. Adam Fox had passed the puck to Zibanejad after it emerged from a scrum in the corner as the final seconds ticked away.
Lindgren's heroics came after the teams scored three goals each in a wild second period, including four goals in an 82-second span.
"It was sloppy in the second but we found a way to get two points at the end,″ Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said. "We were putting pucks to the net."
Lindgren's goal — just the fourth of his career -- ignited a frenzy among fans at Madison Square Garden, where overtime seemed all but a certainty against the Sabres.
"It seemed like there was a battle in the corner and the puck got to Foxy who kicked it out to Mika and obviously a great play by him,'' the 23-year-old Lindgren said. "It was a great win."
Chris Kreider, Jacob Trouba, Kaapo Kakko and K'Andre Miller all scored for the Rangers. Alexander Georgiev had 14 saves, and was replaced by Igor Shesterkin, who had four saves in the third.
"Just a coach's decision,'' Gallant said about switching goalies. Shesterkin earned the win to improve to 9-3-2 on the season.
The Sabres have lost eight of their last 10 games. Rasmus Asplund, Vinnie Hinostroza, Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin all scored for Buffalo, and Dell had 31 saves.
"Great atmosphere, great energy in the building and lots of momentum swings,'' Sabres coach Don Granato said. "We did a good job until about two seconds left. We didn't react well enough and that's disappointing."
Asplund opened the scoring at 15:53 of the first with a power-play goal. Kreider tied it for the Rangers with this team-leading 13th goal of the season, whipping the puck past Dell with less than a minute left in the first.
Hinostroza put the visitors ahead with an unassisted goal at 2:26 of the second. Rangers defenseman Trouba tied the contest at 8:03, poking a loose puck past Dell at 8:03 of the period.
Kakko then scored his third goal in his last four games with eight minutes left in the second to give the Rangers a 3-2 lead, which lasted less than a minute before Thompson tied the game with his team-leading sixth goal.
Dahlin then beat Georgiev with a shot from the point 15 seconds later to put Buffalo ahead 4-3. Miller continued the scoring barrage with another tying goal 17 seconds after Dahlin's.
"We tightened up in the third,'' Granato added. "We need to be more assertive."
The Rangers were coming off 2-1 loss at Toronto on Thursday. Their scheduled Saturday visit to Ottawa was postponed because of a Covid-19 outbreak on the Senators.
Gallant said Lindgren's winning goal is extra satisfying because of how much he contributes defensively for the resurgent Rangers, who are third in the Metropolitan Division after 18 games.
"A great play by him, a smart play by him,'' Gallant added. "He blocks shots. He does everything for us at the back end. When he gets a chance to score a big goal like that, it's great for our team."
NOTES: Artemi Panarin had three assists for the Rangers, leaving the 30-year-old forward eight points shy of 500 in his career. ... Sabres forward Victor Olofsson played for the first time since Oct. 31 when he was injured against Los Angeles. … Sabres defenseman Henri Jokiharju remained sidelined. He hasn't played since he was struck in the ankle by a puck during the season opener against Montreal on Oct. 14. … The Rangers scratched defenseman Nils Lundkvist and Libor Hajek plus forward Greg McKegg. … The Sabres scratched goaltender Craig Anderson, defenseman Christian Wolanin and forward Arttu Ruotsalanien.
Rangers: At New York Islanders on Wednesday night.
Sabres: Host Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night.

"It's natural that the criticism comes my way," he said. "I accept it and it's part of the job. When you're not getting results it is the manager who has the maximum responsibility to lead.

Houllier could well have won the league in 2002 in any case. His team were more than good enough, and full of confidence after the treble-winning season, but their campaign was derailed by the aortic dissection that nearly took him, then aged only 54, way too soon. He was never quite the same force of nature after that huge scare, though that didn't stop him going on to win a couple of French titles with Lyon, adding to the one he'd secured for PSG back in 1986, the first in the club's history. Throw in his contribution to the great France teams of 1998 and 2000, developing the likes of Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet, and that's some body of work to leave behind all right.

Bad Captains
My aspiration to spend time at sea as requisite literary training died long ago, as a teenager, on a white-knuckled ferry ride to Elba during a torrential rainstorm. Not only was I seasick, I saw the population on board as hostile competitors to salvation. As the ferry lurched and rolled, we gave one another dirty looks, sized up whose head we would push under the waves to keep our own above the waterline. The thin membrane of civility frayed with every jerk and jolt, and the law of the sea, from the literature I loved most, seemed nowhere to be found. And so, this past summer, when I boarded a fast boat to Capri – that famous rock where Lenin and Adorno hiked, and where now those who can afford prices set for Russian oligarchs shop – I was not immune to the prospect that the good-looking captain in his tight white slacks might throw us to the sharks. I had decided that it is the fate of my generation never to have known the noble law of the sea, and to live, instead, in an era when the captain leaves his ship not last, but first. Call it the new spirit of capitalism, ushered in with all the other forms of ruthlessness that mark contemporary times, and painted into our naval history most vividly, and recently, by the tragedy of the Costa Concordia and its notorious captain, Francesco Schettino.
Schettino is tanned, with glittering ice-blue eyes and black lustrous hair, hair in which, apparently, traces of cocaine were found. He has a full-blooded and virile affect and exudes intense vanity, which pours in where intelligence might be absent, or might have vacated itself, at least temporarily, to accommodate such vanity, which argues for its own permanent residence in the mind and genitals, where there is plenty of room. A few hours after the 17-deck Costa Concordia set sail, with everything routine, Captain Schettino gave an order for the ship to slow down so that he could enjoy to the full his dessert and drain the decanter of red wine he was sharing with his 25-year-old blonde Moldovan stowaway. He then reported to the bridge for his off-course and showy fly-by of the island of Giglio.
That evening – Friday 13 January 2012 – Captain Schettino jumped or 'fell' into a lifeboat. This happened early in a long night of harrowing rescues. Schettino was conspicuously dry, and on land, while many hundreds of his passengers were still on board, or sliding down ropes past the liner's enormous port-side flank, or jumping thirty feet into the water and attempting to swim for land, or helpless and praying, being either old, or infirm, or with children too young to climb down ropes, or after slipping on fuel-sloshed and tilting decks, having found themselves trapped in the depths of the ship where the water was rising. Thirty-two passengers died that night, by drowning or from hypothermia.
The island of Giglio, Schettino's planned if unofficial fly-by, was where the Costa Concordia hit a rock, Schettino having failed, or refused, to take proper soundings, which is pretty much what happened on the morning of 2 July 1816, when Captain de Chaumareys piloted the French frigate Medusa into shallow water near the coast of Senegal – though in his case it was sheer incompetence rather than a deliberate decision. As crew members noted, the waters into which the Medusa was sailing were ominously warm. The captain did not take note. The sea went green, and crew members worried. The captain did not. Sand scrolled in the waves. Floating cities of kelp appeared: trouble, crew members knew. The sea went clear: they were screwed. The Medusa ran aground on the treacherous Arguin Bank. Chaos ensued. The captain abandoned ship, and worse, cut the rope to the raft of survivors he had pledged to tow. Only 15 of 147 on the raft survived.
Like the captain of the Medusa, Schettino sneaked off his own ship. He not only caused unnecessary deaths and ruined a £372 million cruise liner, as well – very nearly – as a section of coastline and the livelihood of the Italians who live on the island where the Concordia capsized, a ship that could cost more than a billion pounds to scrap: he was a coward. 'Vada a bordo, cazzo!' a Livorno coastguard captain told him, the call famously recorded, then played and replayed: Vada a bordo, Vada a bordo. I wouldn't want to get back on board. Who would? It doesn't seem so pleasant, to have to go down with the ship. It's not at all tempting. But going down with the ship is the ancient ethical prescription of the profession Schettino chose. Never mind modern law and coastal jurisdictions: this is about ancient writ. Schettino refused the sublime injunction to sacrifice himself. Unlike Conrad's Jim, whose moral lapse, abandoning the Patma, is later redeemed, Schettino, at this point, has found himself no empathetic Marlow. He is not 'one of us'. We are obliged to have contempt for him, and we do.
In Journey to the End of the Night Céline's narrator, Ferdinand Bardamu, describes the captain of the boat he is on: 'a shady, breezy, racketeering type', who 'had gone out of his way to shake hands with me from the start'. Bardamu boards the Admiral Bragueton in Marseille, heading for Africa. In the heat and fetid air of the tropics, the other passengers congeal into drunkenness. With their flabby movements they look like squid. Meanwhile Bardamu develops delusions of grandeur, imagining that in the alcoholism, moral collapse, sexual frustration and cosmic boredom onboard, a seething and plotting among his fellow passengers has taken place, in which Bardamu has been identified as a kind of Schettino among them: an enemy and scapegoat who the other passengers have tacitly decided must be cornered and destroyed, or at least thrown overboard.
The year before the Costa Concordia fell on its side and killed 32 people, it starred in a movie. Godard's Film socialisme has gambling and a brunch buffet, frantic disco, the banter of history, vanished gold, Palestine. Shot on HD, the footage transforms the enormous cruise liner into something mythical – dazzling, clean, massive, magnificent. There is the brilliant blue and rich yellow of its broad glossy decks and gigantic smokestack. The sparkling white of its bulk, and the white froth of its glorious wake. The ship is the dream, the passengers its dreamers. In one scene, Alain Badiou gives a talk on Husserl and geometry to an empty lecture hall on the ship, as if Badiou, too, is dreaming: the philosopher who doesn't notice that there is no audience (or who understands that he is awake while others sleep, and can do nothing to rouse them). Godard's film is divided into three parts. The first and third take place on the Concordia, but the third also interjects, into the ports at which the Concordia stops, historic newsreel and film images. When the ship arrives in Naples, Godard quotes, unattributed, Curzio Malaparte's novel The Skin: 'The plague had broken out in Naples on 1 October 1943.' The plague is the Americans, who arrived that day, along with their American freedom, the presence or promise of which turns every woman, Malaparte chides, into a prostitute, and every man into a scheming wretch. The Skin celebrates, perversely and relentlessly, the desperation of Neapolitans, their double-edged gratitude to their American 'liberators'. Naples, Malaparte declares, 'the only city in the world that did not founder in the colossal shipwreck of ancient civilisation', has survived only to face genuine ruin when the Americans arrive with their health, cheer, clean morals, tight-fitting uniforms and deep contradictions. But as Godard shows us, in his majestic views of the Concordia as an unearthly, glistening iceberg, pure and whole, the plague can be beautiful.
The cruise ship, Jonathan Franzen told the Paris Review in 2010, is 'emblematic of our time'. I doubted this, despite the witty reportage of David Foster Wallace's essay on their 'nearly lethal comforts' and the high artistry of Franzen's extended cruise scene in The Corrections. I considered luxury liners an example of middlebrow surrealism, certainly not emblematic. But they keep coming into view. They monster-glide up the Giudecca Canal, intruding into the old, watery dream-state that is Venice, continuing to dwarf the campanile of St Mark's Basilica even after the catastrophe of the Concordia. In truth the cruise ship is lodged deeper in my thoughts than I have wanted to admit. The first extended thing I ever read on my own, as a young child, was a magazine: Mad, issue #161, September 1973, which featured a spoof called 'The Poopside-down Adventure', about a luxury liner that sinks. I read that issue so many times – a manual and master-text, as I thought of it, for understanding adult humour – that I had it almost memorised:
'Listen to me everybody! If we want to be saved, we've got to go up to the bottom!'
'Up to the bottom?!'
'Yes … up to the bottom! Because all the people who are down on top are dead!'
'We've go to work our way up to the propeller room!'
'Yeah? And what will we get there?'
'The shaft!'
'Now, we'll need something to climb up! I know! We'll use that fallen Christmas tree! It's going to be hard climbing it, with the sharp metal ornaments, shorted lights and rickety frame! But it's a sacrifice God wants us to make!'
For years I considered the Mad version the real story, and assumed that the Hollywood movie The Poseidon Adventure was its faulty copy. I didn't know the movie, had no way to see it, and wanted my experience to be, as it felt to me, direct. The real Poseidon Adventure is an allegory of capitalism's collapse, though I still haven't seen it.
The Costa Concordia is not an allegory. But as in The Poseidon Adventure, there was corruption in the structure up above. The ship, which is owned by the American supercompany Carnival, apparently had a cheap, thin hull, which slashed open too easily. 'I am not ashamed to say that I pushed people and used my fists to secure a place,' one passenger later said. 'I started yelling at people,' said a volunteer from the town who went on board to save lives. He was described as ruggedly handsome (nine-tenths of those who come to the aid of survivors in such an emergency, locals who feel the urgent call to heroism as a natural order of life, are later described as ruggedly handsome). '"Don't be animals! Stop being animals!" I shouted this many times, to allow the children in. It had no effect.' Two years later, the ferry MV Sewol capsized off the south coast of Korea while the captain was in his quarters, smoking in his underwear. He was rescued. Three hundred and four passengers drowned.
The Love Boat, the 1980s television show, offered new passengers, new tangles and problems to unknot each week. It is a verso to Godard's Film socialisme, which is the same banal cruise-line reverie, except seen, through Godard's lens, with inexplicable grace. But Godard also filmed via spy cameras, surveillance cameras and phones. The effect of these views is a depersonalised Love Boat: same context, but without the love stories, and with a set of real passengers who are accidental extras. 'Poor Europe,' one of Godard's characters says, 'not purified, but corrupted by suffering. Not exalted, but humiliated by recaptured liberty.' There's no possibility here of a one-hour resolution.
The Love Boat, in contrast, as the theme song goes, 'soon will be making another run'. No one on board is worried about historic suffering. 'The Love Boat,' the song continues,
promises something for everyone.
Set a course for adventure,
your mind on a new romance.
And love won't hurt anymore.
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
Can you handle more?
Love exciting and new.
Come onboard, we're expecting you.
Love … life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow. It flows back to you.
Plague-free, this love on offer. A love that won't hurt anymore. What a promise.
Was that song in my head as our boat passed Ischia, where love and cruelty batter Lenù and her reader in Elena Ferrante's novels, and Sorrento, Captain Schettino's home town, before sloshing to a stop at the port in Capri? No. The only thing in my head was coping in the human swarm, the pushing and the shoving towards luxury-brand luggage and then the exit. Luckily, a natural order, a consensual and even elegant hierarchy took hold: there were professional basketball players on our boat, and they got off first.

Vol. 37 No. 4 · 19 February 2015
Going down with one's ship, or being the last to leave it, is probably not the 'ancient ethical prescription' that Rachel Kushner suggests (LRB, 22 January). Like the related notion of 'women and children first' (which originated with the Birkenhead disaster of 1845), it seems to have been a 19th-century development, at least in the British maritime tradition. The 18th-century public was not unduly scandalised by sea captains who made a hasty exit from stricken vessels. When HMS Centaur was crippled by storms in 1782, Captain John Inglefield and the other senior officers requisitioned the ship's pinnace, abandoning several hundred sailors all of whom subsequently drowned. Inglefield's conduct wasn't censured at the time; instead, his escape was celebrated in a powerful and much reproduced painting by James Northcote.

Panthers' rookie D.J. Moore cited for driving 113 MPH
Usually, when you're an NFL rookie you do whatever you can to fly under the radar off the field, and whatever you can to make a good impression on it.
But a couple of current rookies apparently haven't gotten that memo. Earlier this month, Cleveland Browns receiver Antonio Callaway was cited just before 3 a.m. for driving on a suspended license and having a small amount of marijuana (to which Hue Jackson decided the best course of discipline was to give Callaway more snaps in a game).
And now, a Carolina Panthers rookie got in some hot water, also just before 3 a.m.
113 MPH in a construction zone
According to the Charlotte Observer, Panthers receiver D.J. Moore, the 24th overall pick in this year's draft, was pulled over for driving 113 miles per hour in a 65 MPH work zone two weeks ago.
Carolina Panthers' rookie D.J. Moore was recently cited for driving 113 MPH. (AP)
"(Expletive), that car is going fast," Trooper H.L. Bautista wrote in his report of the stop.
Moore was pulled over at 2:52 a.m., and said he was on his way to his home after the Panthers had returned to Charlotte from Buffalo, where they'd played in their first preseason game on August 9. Moore had four catches for 75 yards in the exhibition.
Moore was charged with speeding and speeding in a work zone at over 80 MPH. He has an October 2 court date.
'We chastised him'
In his report, Bautista wrote that Moore was "polite and cooperative" during their interaction.
Carolina coach Ron Rivera doesn't sound like he'll discipline Moore.
"When it all happened, D.J. came to us right away and explained the situation. He was very remorseful. He understood," Rivera told media. "We chastised him obviously. And he's moving on. And it's an opportunity to learn for him and for the other young guys. 'Hey, you have a responsibility to the community.'"
Moore was the Big 12 receiver of the year last fall, after a University of Maryland school-record 80 catches for 1,033 yards and eight touchdowns.

Reports of a slow recovery in the Gulf of Mexico continue to surface, but there are a few projects that could positively impact activity levels and, thereby, rig and OSV day rates.
Shell Exploration and Production Co. has awarded a contract to McDermott International Inc. for subsea umbilical and flowline installation at its Great White Frio development in Alaminos Canyon block 857 in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The scope of work includes project management and engineering plus installation of a flexible flowline, one 2,000′ (610-meter) long steel flying lead along with two electrical flying leads in a water depth of 8,000′ (2,438 meters).
BP has given the name Argos to the new floating production unit for the Mad Dog 2 project in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The project includes the Argos semisubmersible platform with the capacity to produce up to 140,000 bpd of crude oil through a subsea production system from up to 14 production wells and eight water injection wells. First oil is expected in late 2021.
In December, BP awarded Subsea 7 S.A. the SURF (subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines) contract for the Manuel project in the Gulf. The Manuel project features a two-well tieback to the Na Kika semisubmersible production platform, working at water depths of up to 1,900 meters (6,234′).
BP has approved the $1.3-billion Atlantis Phase 3 development in the deepwater Gulf. Atlantis Phase 3 will include the construction of a new subsea production system from eight new wells that will be tied into the current semisubmersible production platform 150 miles south of New Orleans in more than 7,000′ of water. Production is scheduled to begin in 2020.
These activities represent the development side of the offshore industry and will be responsible for the stabilization and modest growth of offshore activity.
In the exploration and appraisal sector, things don't look quite as good. "Of the 100,000 wells drilled globally (onshore and offshore) in 2013, 4% were exploration or appraisal wells. In 2018, this share is expected to drop to only 2% of the 70,000 wells drilled," Rystad Energy said in a company statement published on its website. In the offshore sector, market share of exploration wells changed from 38% in 2013 to 24% in 2018, according to Rystad.
The development projects mentioned above, and others not mentioned in the U.S. and Mexican sectors of the Gulf of Mexico, are a start on the road to recovery. Many analysts believe that a recovery in exploration and appraisal drilling will follow.

European and Korean technology leaders discuss the vision and roadmap for 5G and beyond.
On June 2nd, ETSI and TTA of South Korea hosted a cooperation workshop discussing the roadmap for 5G and beyond. This online workshop featured speakers and panellists from the European Commission's DG Connect, South Korea's Ministry of Science andTechnology, Hankyong National University, Yonsei University, IITP (Institute of Information & Communications Technology Planning and Evaluation), 5G Industry Association, 5G Alliance and of course ETSI and TTA.
5G is poised to dramatically transform industries and society as we know them. These new evolving telecommunication networks, that are high bandwidth, low latency and ultra-reliable, will not just supercharge smart phones - they will provide a new platform that will power the next generation of solutions that will transform sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing agriculture and transportation.
A vision for the future of 5G and beyond was laid out by various speakers. This workshop was a continuation of very productive collaborations between the European Union and Republic of Korea in the areas of 5G, super-computing, platforms, artificial intelligence, connected cars and smart cities.
An overview was provided of Korea's roadmaps towards digitalization. And specifically, the Digital New Deal of Korea initiative, which is aimed at setting the foundation for the next generation. 5G is a critical part of this initiative.
An overview was provided of the main tenets that will likely go into 6G, including new applications such as holographics, massive m2m and 'Internet of Senses'. It also will likely encompass fully automated infrastructure, ultra-low energy, vertical uses cases beyond 5G, ultra-high security and sustainable development goals. AI, Big Data and Hyperconnectivity are bringing profound changes to society.
For Korea, it was outlined there are three primary drivers of 6G – Policy Lead, Tech-Push, and Need-Pull. The Policy Lead drivers are illustrated by government lead initiatives like the Korean 'Digital New Deal.' The Tech-Push driver is illustrated by the industry led initiatives and technologies that are enabling the convergence of the physical world with the digital world. The Need-Pull driver comes out of societal areas, such as healthcare, education, labor, transportation, culture/arts and community safety.
The future development directions of 6G will likely focus on the extending and improving on the areas where 5G has limitations – increasing the speed and volume of traffic it can support, reducing end-to-end latency, securing air coverage to support more drone/flying transportation technologies, and new innovations by applying AI in more areas of wired and wireless. Korea sees the standardization process as an excellent opportunity to enhance and extend the industry, academia and private experts and also as a key driver for patent-protected local innovations.
It was highlighted that for most vertical industries, 5G and 6G are not part of their core business. Manufacturers of course need to explore 5G but they also need to look into things like AI or 3D printing and other emerging technologies. 5G is just a building block for many manufacturers and thus it is critical that it is as simple as possible for industry to be engaged in the standardization process, in joint projects and in collaborative initiatives. And it's important that strong vertical associations exist that can bring together users, to agree amongst themselves on the basic requirements of the network so that the network that is built incorporates their use cases, their requirements and their specific needs. These vertical associations are working well with 5G but it will be important that there are stronger associations focusing on 6G, with clear input into the standards process – and the standards are very open to these requests from vertical industries.
It's important the key issues, such as privacy, security, trust, energy efficiency and resource efficiency, are discussed early in the process. As 6G is still in its infancy and in the concept stage, it's still being decided what 6G will become. Therefore, the exchange of information and meaningful collaborations across the globe are extremely important – to align visions, to align timescales and to align messages, with a common willingness that there will be one 6G global standard.

European pantry purveyor Lidl has put Tuscan Lakes on its shopping list with plans to open one of the company's high quality, low price grocery stores here next year.
Lidl (pronounced like needle) recently purchased 5 acres at the southwest corner of Tuscan Lakes and League City Parkway for a 35,000-square-foot market. The grocer, which operates 10,000 stores worldwide, intends to offer an assortment of familiar and private-label goods.
Often described as a cross between Trader Joe's and Wal-Mart, the chain offers deep discounts on groceries, household items and even clothes. In the United States, Lidl will concentrate on offering locally sourced vegetables, fresh and frozen fish, gluten-free and organic items, high-quality meats, a curated wine selection and fresh-baked European-style breads.
The first nine Lidl U.S. stores will open on the East Coast this summer with more than 100 stores planned to open in the U.S. within the next year or so.

Hungary hailed a savior of families as Europe is confronted by a demographic crisis
God, marriage, family and children. There is an authenticity about Hungary's policies that speaks to Europe in these ancient, foundational times.
Hungary has been hailed as a savior of families as Europe is confronted by an existential demographic challenge every bit as pressing as climate change.
During an opinion piece in The Article, the author highlights how a growing number of countries are responding to this demographic crisis, with a range of interventions and incentives. Hungary is an especially interesting example.
The piece outlines how Hungary's fiscal supports to encourage marriage and household formation are highly practical. Women who have four children are exempt for life from personal income tax. Every married couple is eligible for a EUR 30,000 interest-free loan, where the mother is between 18 and 40 and expecting a child.
There are subsidized loans, with interest rates capped at three percent for married couples building and purchasing their home. Moreover, there are grants to encourage grandparents to participate in caring for their grandchildren and grants of EUR 7,500 too to help buy a larger family car. There are childcare places to help women returning to work.
So, the focus of policy is not just on reversing population decline, now an EU imperative. It's not about "natalism". It's an expression of a deeper political and moral philosophy that seeks to enable women and young couples, if they wish, to marry and enjoy the experience of rearing their family.
The Article writes that these policies are working. Marriage is at a record high and birth rates are rising.
It's difficult not to be impressed by Katalin Novák, the state secretary for family and youth affairs, the piece writes. A woman with three young children, she is an economist, highly qualified and well versed in European politics. She is also an eloquent advocate of a "family-friendly economy". She insists that designating five percent of annual GDP growth in marriage, family and parent-driven childcare is not an "economic expenditure" — it's the single most important and productive investment any country can make.
The deconstruction of the family erodes social capital, and requires interventions to mitigate the damage caused by marriage breakdown, as well as mental and emotional health problems that can arise.
Hungary's policies don't go with the grain of the EU's liberal mind-set. This mind-set was what Roger Scruton lamented as the oppressively illiberal "New Europe" — and he would have known a thing or two about liberty, given the risks he took in supporting political freedom in Eastern Europe under Soviet Communism.
Now it's Europe that is faced with crisis and it just may be that Hungary has at least part of the solution, offering policies that were once absolutely integral to Adenaeur's Christian Democracy, as well as to the "Old Europe" of which Scruton writes in The Paris Report: a Europe in which we can Believe.
Nagy: GDP could jump as high as 4% in 2024
The minister said last year was "one of the hardest since the change of regime" in 1989, with skyrocketing energy prices accounting for 10% of GDP, presenting a bill of 10 billion euros.
PM Orbán calls for immediate ceasefire in Ukraine
The prime minister said European leaders had difficulty recognizing and articulating the bloc's interests.
PM Orbán and MJVSZ Head discuss state support for troubled localities
The two officials agreed that Hungary has "entered the age of dangers", noting that many Hungarian localities were in a difficult situation due to the war in Ukraine, the "flawed sanctions" imposed by Brussels and the energy crisis.

Performance of a lifetime. 'The Rhythm Section' and the Futility of Revenge
leeheidhues Uncategorized January 15, 2021 January 15, 2021 3 Minutes
San Francisco Chronicle critic Mick LaSalle calls Blake Lively's work the "performance of a lifetime."
The Rhythm Section is all about one woman's revenge. It had a too brief appearance in the theaters in early 2020.
Just today it was released on Amazon Prime. If you are totally in a mental fog reading and watching news about the foiled Coup D'Etat of January 6 and the ceaseless pandemic here is some solid escapist entertainment.
Blake Lively makes the movie. The scene when she strips almost bare and walks into near a freezing Scottish lake made me shiver just watching her take a swim. That is one of the more subdued moments in this violent, gritty film.
The film is based on the 1999 novel of the same name by Mark Burnell.
San Francisco Chronicle 1.29.2020 – Mick LaSalle
Blake Lively is beyond good in "The Rhythm Section." She is flat-out great. And what a surprise. She's never been this good before.
"The Rhythm Section" — the title refers to coordinating one's heart rate and breathing while shooting a gun — has an exceptionally smart script by Mark Burnell, who adapted his own novel. This is not the story of a woman who transforms into a killing machine. This remains the story of a fragile amateur, her life in ruins, who is in way over her head. Nothing goes the way it's supposed to.
There is a lesson in this, one that audiences always forget and that critics should never forget, but we do: Actors are only as good as the chances they get. If someone seems like a lightweight, it might be because they're stuck in lightweight roles. If Blake Lively has never seemed much more than a pleasant smile, maybe that's because every other director has hired her only for that.
Now here comes this female director, Reed Morano, to tell us that whoever we thought Blake Lively is onscreen — she's not what we thought. She is something else. She's somebody you cast as the star in a film about psychic torment. She's somebody you can make into an action hero. She's somebody you could put in close-up for almost two hours, as though she were some powerhouse French or Italian actress, and not for one flicker of an eyelash will she give you even a millisecond that isn't absolutely true.
In this film Lively has the gravity, the aura and even the look of Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, one of the best actresses in Europe. Lively is tough, vulnerable, cracking up, coming apart and fighting back, and she's communicating thought and being every moment onscreen.
In an early scene, we see a woman, with tears in her eyes, watching a video of a happy family. Lively is in the family scene, but it takes a full minute to realize that she is also playing the woman watching the video, that she is looking at her past. Such is the change that she accomplishes.
We find out that her family — mother, father, sister and brother — was killed in a plane crash, and that she, Stephanie, has become a heroin addict and a prostitute. We further discover that the plane crash was the result of a terrorist act, but that the terrorists got away with it. Well, our Stephanie has nothing to lose. She doesn't care if she lives or dies. She hooks up with a former MI6 agent (Jude Law) and volunteers to kill them all.
Along those lines, Morano gives us something here that we almost never see — a genuinely suspenseful chase scene: Stephanie is in a foreign country and people are shooting at her, so she tears off in a stolen car, only to find that she's driving against traffic. And the car that's chasing her is only about 10 feet behind. It's the ultimate no-frills chase scene, but filmed with consummate skill, most of it from the perspective of the terrified driver. The resolution of the chase is equally simple and perfect.
Lively gets good support from her makeup team — she looks horribly unwell at the start of the film, with the complexion of a substance abuser, and only gradually begins to look reasonably healthy. She communicates her physical state through her labored movement, but the bad (and slowly improving) skin helps. Likewise, Lively benefits from having Law and Sterling K. Brown to play off of, not to mention Max Casella, who makes a vivid one-scene appearance.
But it's Lively's movie, and it's she who kicks this superior thriller up an extra notch, to the point that it's not only worth seeing for the excitement and thrills, but for her.
I would like to believe this is the beginning of something, a great epoch in Lively's career. But even if it's not, even if this is the career highlight, Lively has accomplished a performance onscreen that she can point to in 30 years and say, "Yeah, but I did that." Because she sure did.
"The Rhythm Section": Thriller. Starring Blake Lively, Jude Law and Sterling K. Brown. Directed by Reed Morano. (R. 109 minutes.)

KCL Big Question
Boris Johnson vs Bill de Blasio: a tale of two mayors
How does the newly elected mayor of New York compare to London's BoJo?
Democrat Bill de Blasio will replace Independent Michael Bloomberg as mayor of New York
By Mary O'Connor
10:17AM GMT 07 Nov 2013
Boris Johnson, as the most loved politician and national mascot of Great Britain, and Bill de Blasio, New York's new mayor, are inevitably courted by media attention. While Boris positively basks in the media limelight, it seems Mr de Blasio is more of a toe-dipper. Serial tweeter and photo opportunist, Mr Johnson boasts an 800,000 strong Twitter following whilst his transatlantic counterpart is flagging at 20,000, perhaps needing a lesson or two in the art of a well placed hashtag or Instagram selfie.
A self confessed night owl, Mr de Blasio finds getting up at 5am something of a challenge, often leaving aides waiting outside his home for hours. Hoping to convert much of NYC to his nocturnal ways, Mr de Blasio may have more in common with his British counterpart than previously thought, as Mr Johnson's permanently dishevelled blonde barnet suggests that the morning routine may similarly be all too much.

Having previously been in favour of the pro-car lobby, Mr de Blasio has joined Mr Johnson's call to arms in promising additional bicycle lanes for NYC alongside a continuation of Bloomberg's 'bike sharing' programme and the introduction of a "Vision Zero" initiative to reduces crashes and fatalities for cyclists. Mr de Blasio cannot, however, promise that he will be donning his cycling shorts anytime soon.
Neither it seems, are afraid to gallantly uphold their sporting convictions: from Mr Johnson ludicrously suspended from a zipwire waving his great nation's flags during London 2012; to Mr de Blasio shamelessly boasting about his team, the Boston Red Sox, and their World Series success whilst campaigning in the borough of their bitter rival, the Bronx.
After becoming chairman of the London policing authority in 2008, Mr Johnson effected the swift resignation of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair. Sir Ian was at the centre of a series of high profile mistakes surrounding the mishandling of the anti-terrorism operations which saw the deadly shooting of a Brazilian electrician Jean Charles de Menezes. Mr de Blasio is also planning to make changes to the way in which policing is conducted, as he moves to replace NYC police commissioner Raymond Kelly, who with divisive policies such as "stop and frisk" "has driven a wedge between police and communities."
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an election campaign video is worth double points. Where Mr Johnson cavorts about London by bus and bicycle with ample amounts of buffoonery (and bravery!) hugging bus drivers and moving the masses; de Blasio's "Go with the Fro" campaign, featuring his son Dante audaciously assuring us that he isn't biased towards his father's policies captures something of the endearing yet ingenious Boris magic.
Whilst urbanite Mr Johnson is keen to avoid alienating wealthy investors in London and so refusing to increases taxes on those in the upper wage bracket, Mr de Blasio intends to mount an assault on the wealthy, with the top 1 per cent of New Yorkers to foot the bill for an expansion of pre-kintergarten and after-school initiatives. Mr de Blasio will also call for eliminating selected corporate tax breaks, including those for companies who are constructing or modifying commercial buildings.

Challenge: Outfit your dog in a standard harness attached to a 6 foot leash. Hold your dog's leash and toss a ball or treat 20 feet away from you and your leashed dog. If he pulls toward the object, say "let's go" and turn and walk in the opposite direction.
All dogs, regardless of size, age, or lifestyle, should be taught basic leash skills.. If you are training a puppy, or if your adult dog is responsive and submissive to .
That being said, all dogs need to be taught how to walk on a leash in a positive. A chest-led harness is a perfect training aid, as it takes pressure off a dog's .
In this article, I'll let you on a few tips on how to successfully leash train a dog. You may even need to use a back harness, or a muzzle harness, when walking.


This Sacred Family post is about celebrating the process of creation. I love making things: making anything! I think my interest in craft and creating has always stemmed from fascination of the amazing process that happens when you take a bunch of raw materials and turn them into something else … it feels like magic! When I am cooking from scratch I feel like an alchemist or sorceress intent upon the transformations happening in my cauldron. When I am spinning yarn I feel like an old revered Grandmother transforming the wisdoms of the past into something tangible for the future. When I am sewing or knitting or making felt I feel like a magician – voila! Look what I have made! Sometimes I create just for the satisfaction and curiosity of the transformation process, taking apparently unrelated ingredients and creating something completely different. Sometimes it is to challenge my creativity, sometimes it is for the healing benefits, the time to sit, and the opportunity to allow my thoughts to wander freely while my hands are still busy. I am always proud of what I make, even if I am not quite sure of what to do with it when I am finished!!
My husband is a creator as well. For his birthday last year he bought himself a ukulele kit and has spent snatched moments of time lovingly forming all those bits and pieces into a quality (and very beautiful) ukulele that he now plays almost every evening. He also turned the wood from a table into a toddler bed, which has since been taken apart, rebuilt into a work-table, then taken apart again and bits of it used for other projects around the house. Any scraps left have been squirreled away by our son for his on-going hammerings in the garage. Everything has value and it simultaneously pleases me and frustrates me to see both my husband and my son scrutinising every item for its construction potential … as a result some items we are NOT finished with also may become 'reused' if we are not careful!
Creating something out of 'nothing' is extremely satisfying; however what intrigues me the most is the level of steps some products we use daily go through in order to reach their final transformation. Have you made paper before? Isn't it incredible to think that the white, flimsy bits of stuff we write on were once strong, living trees? I think I blew my son's mind when I told him how paper was connected to trees. There is an intense industrial process behind most of the end-products we use, a process that we just don't consider when we go shopping.
My two-year old had all the answers about the source of things. For a while she was quite convinced that everything came from a 'dog bone'. Honestly I have no idea where this idea came from, but who am I to contradict her? It made complete sense to her and she was satisfied with the idea of dog bones as the source of all creation. Science is definitely not needed here when the answer to everything is so obvious!
In other ways, we like to explore the origin of things – in cooking for example. For a long time our children have been asking where different kinds of food come from (this was around the time that the 'dog bone' explanation surfaced. Did you know that ham comes from a dog bone?). Our dinner is occasionally analysed and compartmentalised into food that is grown in the ground, on trees, from animals or IS an animal. It makes for interesting discussion.
I used to teach a class of preschoolers who had no experience of shopping with their parents and believed that food came from the fridge. It was just always there and the fridge replenished itself like the Magic Pudding. Milk and eggs came from a carton and, for one child in particular, the thought of milk coming from a cow was just repulsive. The fact that an egg comes out of a chicken's bottom sent her off food for a while and her parents were not happy with me for facilitating this juicy discussion among the children! This realisation astounded me and I then began to take the children on little excursions to the fruit and vegetable shop, and the supermarket (we were lucky these places were within walking distance of the kindergarten!) so that we could buy ingredients for our class cooking. I wish we could have gone to a farm, but those are scarce in an inner city.
I am lucky now that I live in area that is both city and country in one. Twenty minutes in either direction can have me amongst the sky scrapers, or viewing those sky scrapers from the top of green rolling pasture on a mountain. We have a few local dairies nearby and it is a pleasure to take my children there to buy milk. The first time I took the children unleashed a world of wonder and awareness about animals and milk – the fact that it is a food that is made INSIDE AN ANIMAL is an amazing concept, and watching the cows being milked in a no-nonsense but also loving and respectful way (on the part of the farmer) was an incredible experience for my children. See the three-day old calf! Mum is that the bull? What are they eating? Look at them doing wees wherever they want to! – my two-year-old was particularly fascinated with this – and then the questions about milk, which eventually lead to questions about my own breasts and how they produce milk for my babies ("…my body makes the best milk when I eat nutritious food, and stay happy and relaxed, just like the cows do…"). There was so much gained in a 45 minute visit to the cows.
After the visit we then we took our milk home and made yogurt, and from the yogurt we make cream cheese and whey. The whey we used to soak our oats and ferment some vegetables. The cream cheese we enjoyed on home-made bread and crackers. We were discoverers and experimenters, delighting in taking one thing and turning it into many other things. We were magicians.
Another experience visiting the source of things was my son's recent school excursion to a farm show. Ok – it was a bit commercial and showy, but the children did watch a sheep being sheared, and some children were able to have a go at clipping the fleece. I work a lot with fleece in my own felt-making and so this experience excited me. I brought my spinning wheel into school after the excursion and showed the children how raw fleece can be transformed into yarn: the wool is carded, spun, washed, dyed, knitted and then worn as a garment! It is magic! It really is! Thoughts like this often swirl around my mind when I am making felt – how truly wonderful it is to take part in creating something useful and beautiful from something that has seemingly no value at all. How clever of someone to even THINK of using such raw materials in the first place, and then centuries of experimentation and discovery going into perfecting the process of transformation.

Q: How do I navigate to other page with respective data on ng-click of a row table I have a view lets assume index.cshtml which is getting data using a service and showing in a table for which each row is clickable. And after I click on a row it should navigate to other page lets call it details.html with respective information of particular row.
`

                    Id
                    Name
                    Description
                    Role

                    {{ user.userLoginID }}
                    {{ user.userName }}
                    {{ user.descOfUser }}
                    {{ user.userRole }}

`

The problem I'm facing is how do I get to navigate to other page with data of row. I tried using query string but for query string my angular stops working on that page. Please tell if I have to use angular-route then how to do that.

A: Change the your code like below, and make link for get details,

                {{ user.userLoginID }}
                {{ user.userName }}
                {{ user.descOfUser }}
                {{ user.userRole }}
                   details

after that create a route for details.html page,
app.config(['$routeProvider',
 function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
  when('/', {
    templateUrl: '/users.html',
    controller: 'listCtrl'
  })
  .when('/user-details/:userLoginId', {
    templateUrl: '/details.html',
    controller: 'detailsCtrl', // this is new controller name
   })
  .otherwise({
    redirectTo: '/'
  });
}]);

Now created the route with userId as routeParameter to get the details of particular user.
Then create a controller for get and show the details of particular user,
app.controller('detailsCtrl', function ($scope, $location, $routeParams) {
   // call service to get details
  // get the user id like this "$routeParams.userLoginId"
});

Finally, display the details in details.html page.

A: The way I would do it is: The data should be referenced in the controller or service, your ng-click should be a link instead. Like details.
In your routes you create a parameterized route, like user/:id and use $routeParams in your new controller  to know which user is the visitor looking for and pass that id to your service to get the right information.
If you wanna do it literally how you're asking, you can pass that information as  a get parameter to your new route but it will be a lot messier and insecure.


In the last year, I have had a full on battle going on with my health. The bottom has fallen off my life, and once again I have found myself re-building and re-assessing what it may be like from now on. I have lost many of the things that I thought defined me and found myself putting things back together in a way that really makes sense, in a way I don't think they did before.
Before all of this transpired – I was a clean eater, who desperately wanted to be a vegan full-time (although I was only managing it around 90% of the time, despite being able eat a clean and vegan diet at the retreat centre where I worked)! My career was in recovery, and I had stopped using drugs, drinking and smoking. But I was vaping – still feeling as though I NEEDED the nicotine – 3 years after I had quit smoking. And I was training in counselling, but still had to work through some my own issues around accepting love. I meditated daily, and felt aware of my 'short comings' – but it took my illness to really pull my finger out of my arse and face them.
In the last year, I have gone as 'clean' as can be (although I would have already said I was doing okay before!) and it has changed so much for me: I want to share it.
For me, going clean has meant ditching synthetic hormones too: as my illness was preceded by a frightening, gradual onset, anaphylactic shock – brought on by the new contraceptive injection 'Sayana Press'.
I had used other progesterone-based contraceptives for around 14 years (since my periods started), because having a period always meant sickness, fainting, dizziness, fatigue and gut wrenching pain for me too. Ironically, these are all of the symptoms of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) – that I have now been diagnosed with. Hmmm.
Anyway – as a young adult, after trying several different pain killers and the combination pill – my GP suggested that I stopped my monthly cycle with the depo injection. This worked well for many years. And although I was warned about the dangers of using the injection for long periods of time, when I tried to come off a few years ago it I experienced light-headedness and pain so severe that I collapsed out of the bath and was given gas and air. So I continued with the only thing that allowed me to function!
And stayed on the injection until March 2017, when I had that terrifying reaction.
Having had difficulties with my monthly cycle in the past, I dreaded the return shark week and what it would mean for my freshly diagnosed POTS.
My periods returned after 8 months, and brought a POTS flare, complete with vomiting and hormonal crying. Unfortunately, my first period was also proceeded by a vulval biopsy and an episode of recurrent thrush (something that I had had on and off since the withdrawal from the progesterone). So everything was aggravated, including me.
I begun researching what I could do: I started having accupunture for hormone balance and invested in menstrual cups and reuseable cloth pads (as well as a job lot of raspberry leaf tea, clean and vegan chocolate and aromatherapy oils). Next time I would be ready.
I didn't know where to start with the pads. I knew that ethically they were a must and medically they could be expected to help clear up or at least ease some of my symptoms. But not what to buy. I searched online for hours and I was so pleasantly surprised! I thought I was going to be paying out so much money and that it would be for something that I didn't really want.
But the designs I found from independent sellers, like One Cheeky Bee and Nooby Noo (now the only providers I buy from) got me excited for my next period and improved the relationship I have with my natural cycle, as well as with my body, too.
These pads are bloody beautiful! I feel like it is a complete treat to buy myself new ones, and I show them off to my partner as soon as they arrive. Their sellers are understanding and helpful everytime – clearly loving what they do – and are ready to give you a personal service and unique experience. Oh and I haven't had a single bout of thrush since, despite more surgeries.
⚡ Buy a couple of different sizes, shapes and absorbencies for your first time: you can measure from the pads/liners that you currently use and customise from there. There is soooo much more choice of size, shape and absorbency!
⚡ Get a wet bag too: The cloths can be folded, making them just as compact as disposables. I use a wet bag, to take out a clean pad with me, and put my used pad in if need to.
⚡ Put your used pads straight into a zip lock bag: rinsing them first if you wish. Then you can empty your bag straight into the wash. Most pads also come with washing instructions, but it really isn't much more complicated than that. I use a washable bag, so we just bung the whole thing in.
⚡ Use the discounts below: Me, Vee and Nadine have got together to provide you with discounts to get you started. This is because it is something we are all passionate about. Not because of any financial gain. This post is not sponsored.
Please contact me with any questions you may have about switching to cloth and/or cups. I will be doing a Q&A on Instagram and will update with further information on the blog in the future – so your questions could be helpful to others too.
I'm in Canada and lunapads.ca is my favourite! I also use a divacup (works better than a softer cup I tried) but gotta take breaks from it as I can get yeast infections otherwise – no fun when already on your period!
