"We stayed for 2 nights. The Park is well maintained with friendly and accommodating owners. Our 2 Boston Terriers enjoyed playing in the grassy, tree shaded, dog run. The full hook up sites are tree shaded and very wide. We look forward to staying here when we're in Billings in the future."
"Super neat and clean with great restroom and showers. Too cramped for my style but safe and really pretty. Kids play area is central in park. Good and bad to that with more noise than desirable but the kids were just being kids. Pet area is too small but clean and poo bags available. "
"This RV prk is best approached by exit 450. Every thing looked nice. pool,hot tub, river,pond, looked and felt nice. But the price for one night was close to $80. Extremely poor value for those of us who do not use the perks. The Yellowstone River RV park is a few hundred yards from this one and is owned by the same people. Both charge the high rates. I had requested a reservation by the Yellowsto"
"Easy off/on from I-90. 69 sites, parking lot set up (mostly concrete with grass in spots), long, level sites. Big rig friendly, pet friendly. FHU's, 30/50 amp, cable TV, wifi, clean restrooms and laundry. A little pricey but convenient location - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group"
About Billings
Billings RV parks and campgrounds are both in and around the city, and tend to run along the Yellowstone River and I-90. Visitors who set up camp in Billings have easy access to south-central Montana.
Aside from its proximity to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Billings is also an easy day or weekend trip to gems like Bighorn National Forest, Lewis and Clark National Forest, and Custer Gallatin National Forest. There are an infinite number of places to go fishing, hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities.
On the Crow Reservation, just beyond the town of Hardin, is the Little Bighorn Battlefield, where general Custer was at long last defeated by Native Americans who, up until that day, he had been slaughtering for years.
History buffs looking for fun times around Billings should make their way to the Moss Mansion, where you can tour the haunted home, which was built in 1901. The Western Heritage Center is the definitive place to visit for folks who really want to understand and experience the area's cultural, economic, and natural past. Pictograph Cave has trails leading to ancient drawings left on stone by previous inhabitants, while Lake Elmo State Park is a favorite local fishing destination. ZooMontana is here, as is the Rimrock Auto Arena, and Yellowstone Art Museum.

Searching for that deeper meaning to life? The key to the universe has been found!
Throughout history, prominent thinkers have been convinced that the everyday world observed through our senses represents only the surface manifestation of a deeper hidden reality, where the answers to the great questions of existence should be sought.
So compelling has been this belief that entire societies have been shaped by it. Truth seekers have practiced complex rituals and rites, used drugs and meditation to enter trancelike states, and consulted shamans, mystics and priests in an attempt to lift the veil on a shadowy world that lies beneath the one we perceive.
Attempts to gain useful information about the world through magic, mysticism, and secret mathematical codes mostly led nowhere. But about 350 years ago, the greatest magician who ever lived finally stumbled on the key to the universe — a cosmic code that would open the floodgates of knowledge. This was Isaac Newton — mystic, theologian, and alchemist — and in spite of his mystical leanings, he did more than anyone to change the age of magic into the age of science.
The word science is derived from the Latin scientia, simply meaning "knowledge." Originally it was just one of many arcane methods used to probe beyond the limitations of our senses in the hope of accessing unseen reality. The particular brand of "magic" employed by the early scientists involved hitherto unfamiliar and specialized procedures, such as manipulating mathematical symbols on pieces of paper and coaxing matter to behave in strange ways. Today we take such practices for granted and call them scientific theory and experiment.
We really are in possession of the key to the universe. The ancients were right: beneath the surface complexity of nature lies a hidden subtext, written in a subtle mathematical code. This cosmic code contains the secret rules on which the universe runs. Newton, Galileo, and other early scientists treated their investigations as a religious quest. They thought that by exposing the patterns woven into the processes of nature they truly were glimpsing the mind of God.

Hey guys! Welcome back. I don't know about you, but I sometimes get stuck in a rut. It's hard to get going and be productive sometimes. It's not necessarily procrastination, it's just a lack of knowing where to go or how to get started. When you have so much going on it can be difficult to even know where to start tackling it all. I know I feel this way sometimes, and I know several of you do as well. And that is why today I wanted to talk to you about hitting refresh and getting out of that rut. It's easier than it sounds, but it will take some work.
Step One – Go easy on yourself.
It's okay to get into a rut every now and then. In fact it's normal. We live busy and hectic lives, so it's only natural that we hit a road block sometimes. You have to accept it and know that you can come back from it. The important thing is to not sit and dwell on it. Allow yourself to take a break from it all. Remove yourself from the situation and come back when you feel ready. If you sit and dwell on it it may never get done and you will only get deeper into a rut.
Step Two – Understand where the problem lies.
Maybe it's your to-do list, maybe you don't have one, maybe you aren't organized. Whatever it is it is important to evaluate your situation and figure out where things are going wrong. Look and see what you need to do to fix the current situation. Make actionable steps to safeguard your time. Put things on your to-do list and in your calendar that you can actually manage and find time to get done. Once you are honest with yourself about what is going wrong, you can tackle how to overcome them.
Step Three – Manage Your To-Do List.
If you have a to-do list, make sure it isn't just a list of things to do. You need to prioritize your to-do list and make sure it is written in a way that you feel in control. You need to have tasks that you can actually handle and get done. Make sure you are dividing up the tasks and giving each one a priority stamp. If it's not a priority, don't include it. Don't write your goals on your to-do list. Write actionable steps that you can actually do.
Once everything is managed and prioritized, it is important to schedule it all. I recommend Google Calendar because it is easy, free, and efficient. You can schedule everything you have to do to a specific time and you can even set it up to get reminders if you need them. Scheduling is essential because it allows you to see how much time you have for things. It also lets you know when it's time to move on. It keeps you focused throughout the day.
Step Five – Take a break.
Rest is just as important as work. If you are not taking breaks throughout the day you will get burned out quicker than normal. So let yourself rest. Walk away from it all and make sure you are taking care of yourself. It's easier said than done sometimes, but it is important and you will notice a huge difference when you start making breaks a regular part of your day, week, and month.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed this. Please like it if you did. Let us know in the comments how you reset. Don't forget to follow before you leave if you have not already and I hope to see you next time!


This past season has been a growing season for the LCA Swim & Dive Team.
The 2018-2019 season saw the addition of a Junior High Team, composing of 4th-6th Graders. We had twelve athletes come out for our inaugural season! The dividends paid off right away, as every swimmer improved to the point of swimming 100 yards in at least one event. On top of this, the girls won the Middle School Championship Meet held in December! The strong performances from the 6th Grade Class will be very beneficial when they move to the high school team next school year.
The high school team saw nine new additions this season. Each of these swimmers made an immediate impact - winning events at dual meets and scoring vital points that helped us earn several victories. The swim and dive team is much stronger with their inclusion. To be able to couple these first year athletes with our returning swimmers has made LCA a much more well-rounded entity. We look forward to showing off our improved form at the KHSAA Region 8 Championships this weekend at UK and eventually at the KHSAA State Championships in two weeks.

Time for Roundup to wind up?
As Monsanto is ordered to pay $289 million to groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson, who contracted cancer after using its glyphosate-based weedkiller, Claire Robinson asks what the future holds for the company and its best-selling chemical
On 10 August a California jury ruled that the agrochemical giant Monsanto was liable for the cancer of a terminally ill former groundskeeper who had repeatedly sprayed the company's glyphosate herbicides over school grounds. After hearing evidence in a month-long trial in San Francisco, the jury ordered the company to pay $289 million in damages to 46-year-old Dewayne Johnson.
'The perception is that a huge wave of lawsuits and penalty payments are rolling toward Bayer'
Just days later, Monsanto lost a second court case, when the Supreme Court of California rejected the company's challenge to the state's decision to list glyphosate – the world's most used herbicide – as cancer-causing.
In response to the two rulings, shares in Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in June, fell to their lowest point since 2013. Since a record high in April 2015, Bayer has lost almost half its market value, about 16 billion euros. According to Baader Bank analyst Markus Mayer, 'The perception is that a huge wave of lawsuits and penalty payments are rolling toward Bayer.'
Jury says Roundup was a cause of Johnson's cancer
The jury in the Johnson case unanimously decided that Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller, based on glyphosate, was a substantial contributing factor to Johnson's cancer. The jury also found that Monsanto knew or should have known that Roundup was dangerous, and that the company acted with 'malice or oppression' in failing to warn of the risks.
The ruling is expected to open the door to around 4000 similar lawsuits in the USA.
Monsanto responded in a statement confirming it will appeal – meaning it could take years before Johnson and his family receive a cent of their damages award. Monsanto also implied that the jury didn't understand the science: 'The jury got it wrong... We are confident science will prevail upon appeal.'
Corruption of science
Is Monsanto right? Is this a story of a well-meaning but scientifically illiterate jury making an emotionally-based but wrong-headed decision? Will an objective look at the scientific facts result in a win for Monsanto in an appeal?
For many who follow the glyphosate issue, the answer is a resounding 'no'. As Johnson's lawyers argued in the trial, Monsanto has 'fought science' for years – but now the game is up. Two recent peer-reviewed articles show that Monsanto used deceit and manipulation over a period of decades to have glyphosate declared safe. The articles draw upon Monsanto internal documents disclosed in the court case and obtained through the US Freedom of Information Act.
Monsanto's activities, as revealed in these documents, included the ghostwriting of scientific articles, colluding with a journal editor to obtain the retraction of a study that found health risks from consumption of Monsanto's genetically modified maize and the glyphosate-based herbicide it is designed to be grown with, and exercising undue influence on the US Environmental Protection Agency to approve glyphosate.
Johnson's attorney Brent Wisner said only a 'fraction' of the evidence was presented to the jury, due to the judge repeatedly ruling in favour of Monsanto's objections. But the fact that 'with a minimum amount of evidence and with our hands tied behind our back with a lot of the court's rulings, we were still able to get a unanimous verdict, says everything'.Johnson's attorneys anticipate that in future trials, more evidence will be shown. For this reason, Wisner said, 'Our cases are only going to get stronger moving forward. Monsanto and Bayer… have a real problem on their hands.'
Do studies really show glyphosate is safe?
Monsanto said in its response to the Johnson ruling that over '800 scientific studies and reviews... prove glyphosate does not cause cancer'.
But attorney Wisner replied, 'There aren't 800 studies that show Roundup is safe. On cancer, there are about 20 studies: six to seven in humans, the rest in animals. In all of those studies but about two, the data are clearly and unequivocally positive' that glyphosate causes cancer.
Wisner added that the 800 studies Monsanto refers to do not address cancer but unrelated topics such as skin irritation.
Appeals to authority
In its statement, Monsanto cites the verdicts of regulatory authorities that glyphosate is not carcinogenic.
But the more closely we look at these verdicts and the way they were obtained, the more problematic they appear. For example, Johnson's lawyers have Monsanto documents that expose the company's close (some might say creepy) relationship with a former senior US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official, Jess Rowland. Rowland was in charge of evaluating the cancer risk of glyphosate for the EPA.
According to Monsanto emails, Rowland bragged to a company executive that he deserved a medal if he could 'kill' another agency's investigation into the health risks of glyphosate.

Analyses of the EU authorities' approval of glyphosate (some of which I co-authored) show that the industry's own studies provide strong evidence that the chemical causes cancer (see also reviews comparing different agencies' evaluations, and analyzing the EU's regulatory approach). But this evidence was dismissed by the authorities, in violation of their own rules.
We also found evidence of conflicts of interest among key people on regulatory committees. For instance, some had close relationships with the lobbying organization, the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI), which is funded by Monsanto and other agribusiness firms.
All this suggests that regulatory opinions of glyphosate's safety might fail to convince any court in which the basis for those opinions is closely examined.
The European quarrel
In Europe in 2017, after years of wrangling, glyphosate was re-authorized for a period of five years, reduced from the usual 15. That means we are stuck with glyphosate until the end of the current authorization period in 2022, but a ban at that time is possible.
Whatever the decision at EU level, France – Europe's biggest agricultural producer – has said it will phase out glyphosate within three years. Germany is also planning a phase-out and Italy is restricting use.
Glyphosate, like tobacco before it, has become a scandalous product
In the UK, the two biggest DIY chains, Homebase and B&Q, are reviewing their weedkiller ranges with a view to pulling glyphosate off the shelves. Waitrose has already done so. Austrian garden centres are selling a glyphosate-free version of Roundup, containing vinegar as its weed-killing ingredient.
Glyphosate, like tobacco before it, has become a scandalous product. The problem for Monsanto is that we cannot un-see what we have seen or un-know what we have learned. As each day passes, more people hear about the manipulation of science and the deceptions surrounding glyphosate's approval – much of it from Monsanto's own documents. And the more the facts come to light, the worse things look for glyphosate, its main manufacturer Monsanto, and the parent company Bayer.

Well, it's Sunday afternoon, and the final session of General Conference is about to start. The same conference threads I referenced in the morning session are still open and active. (Note these notes are rough and need to be cleaned up, which I will do shortly; but have a few things to do prior to that).
Once invited a deacon's quorum president to help him in discussion keys of the priesthood. We use keys to fulfill assignments by priesthood authorities, even at the young age of a deacon. The Restoration message is for all who will listen and obey. The First Vision ushered in the dispensation of the Restoration. As Joseph said, I saw a pillar of light.
This vision revealed that God and Christ are two separate personages, with their own bodies of flesh and bones. This cleared up any confusion of deity of the prior centuries. Doubt, disbelief and misinformation would immediately follow. So, God brought forth the Book of Mormon to provide convincing evidence to the world that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and that he was the instrument of God in the Restoration.
Translation of the Book of Mormon is a miracle in itself and provides further proof of its divine origin. By the time Oliver Cowdery arrived, only a few pages had been translated. Over the next three months he translated some 500 pages in just two of those months or about 60 days.
Joseph and Oliver were impressed with the doctrines, including baptism as discussed in the Book of Mormon. On May 15, 1829 they knelt in prayer. John the Baptism appeared with the keys of the priesthood. He lay his hands on Joseph and Oliver and conferred the priesthood of Aaron, including the keys of the ministering of angels and of baptism.
He commanded them to be baptized. They baptized each other and then ordained each other to the Aaronic priesthood, as they had been commanded. Later Peter, James and John conferred the Melch. Priesthood. Joseph then commanded to formally organize the Church.
This occurred on April 6, 1830 in the home of Peter Whitmer. A revelation commanded them to keep a record. Joseph was to be called a Prophet, Seer, and Revelator. Thus Christ's Church was again on the earth.
Someday I will repent, or pay tithing, or go to the temple. This is a dangerous concept. It can be a thief of the opportunities of time. Do not procrastinate the day of your repentance. The righteous will set down in Christ's kingdom, to go no more out. The scriptures are full of the examples of wise servants. Joshua was one. Serving Christ invites the Holy Ghost to be with us. The Holy Ghost cleanses us of sin. Christ set an example not to procrastinate.
It is He who invites us to come unto him and serve him without delay. Those who seek him early shall find him. It is not supposed to be easy to do that which we should be doing. It is not supposed to be, as mortality is a probation period to prepare for eternal life. Faithful obedience is a key. Hard as we knew the test to be, we had joy. We knew Christ would come into the world and overcome death.
It would not take superior intellect to complete mortalities probation. We can all do it, through Christ and his Atonement. Christ will take upon himself our infirmities. All of us will need His help to avoid procrastination in order to obtain eternal life.
1. Be complacent about what we have done.
We might think we have already done enough. This can even affect a seasoned adult as well as youth. It doesn't matter what we have done in the past. We will be tempted to serve again some day. There is danger in resting because we think we have done enough. It is hard to know when we have done enough to have effected a mighty change and take advantage of Christ's Atonement.
2. Overwhelmed by what needs to be done.
As long as we have power to pray we can ask God please let us serve this day. I will obey this day. I know that I can with thy help. Perhaps we can forgive someone who has offended us. Perhaps we can help someone who is hungry. If we pray for the spirit, we will know what to do to help someone.
By serving Christ this day we will know Him better. Feeling His love will draw you back to his Service doing away with complacency and overwhelming feelings.
Are we Christians? Before he converted he thought of himself as a Christian. When he encountered the Church, he learned truths he had not known before and how he viewed the Gospel. He chose to embrace those truths.
The nature of the Godhead was one of the truths he embraced. There are three distinct individuals. Confusion of the Godhead came from "men" out of the Nicene creed. The teaching of the trinity are incomprehensible to him. But, learning of the true nature of the Godhead from Joseph Smith was clear and understandable. This is a plain and precious knowledge of God and Christ. Heaven sent revelation has now replaced man made doctrines of the Godhead. The Holy Ghost testifies of the Father and the Son.
The Book of Mormon is a sacred record of scripture written by prophets of God to persuade all men to come to Christ. It tells of others who took upon themselves the name of Christ even before His birth. What can be more Christian than to take His name, follow Him, and be like Him? President Hinckley cannot understand (nor can I for that matter) why the world does not, or will not accept the Book of Mormon.
We talk, rejoice, preach, and prophesy of Christ.
Priesthood restoration another truth of the Restored Gospel. All priesthood holders can trace their authority directly to Jesus Christ.
Are we Christians? We are indeed. The Church has the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The youth really are a chosen generation. You have the talents and opportunities to do all that is expected of you. Who is on the Lord's side? Our answer should be "I am." This was the question on Nephi's mind and, I am was his response, when he said that he would go and do.
Never forget who you are. Remember, "I am a child of God." God has given us family to help us. He has given us standards in the For the Strength of Youth book. He always keeps a copy of this pamphlet always. Keep it with you always. Remember you are not alone.
Learn to control your thoughts. We are sent here to be tested. We will always have temptation. We need to learn to displace and control inappropriate thoughts. There is a line of demarcation between God and the adversary's territory. Don't cross that line. Let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly.
The Law of Tithing. Will a man rob God? Prove me now, or test me now, to see if I won't open the windows of heaven.
God only asks us to return 1/10th.
Pay our tithing, pray, read scriptures, keep the commandments.
As members increase their faith, including paying tithing and attending the temple, the Lord will answer our prayers and will bless us.
As an airline pilot he had to fly great distances and training. Some can last 14 hours and cover up to 9,000 miles. The point of safe return, the aircraft has enough fuel to return safely. Also referred to as point of no return. Are there such points in our lives? Satan uses lies to convince us of this concept, that when we sin we have passed the point of no return, and that it is too late to return.
Satan counterfeits the work of God. He will even misuse the scriptures to imply there is no mercy. The Gospel is Good News. Sin is the wilful transgression of divine law. The Atonement allows us to overcome sin and its consequences. God sent His Son to save the world.
If we have taken the wrong course, the Atonement insures us that sin is not the same as a point of no return. God's plan was prepared before the foundation of the earth. Gospel includes reconciliation and forgiveness.
None more important to salvation than repentance. It is the blood of Christ which saves us, not repentance per se. It is by Grace after all we can do that saves us. True repentance makes a brilliant day out of the darkness night.
We need to know the correct nature and character of God to have strong faith in Christ. It will change our thoughts and behavior. It will bring us back to doing what is right. We need to ask God for forgiveness and correct whatever wrong we have done. Repentance means a change of heart. We bring a fresh attitude to God and life.
We will feel His forgiveness. Our guilt is swept away. Peace I give unto you said Christ.
How can we know God has forgiven us? Peace of conscience will come to us. Upon repentance Christ takes away the burden of guilt. The Holy Ghost will verify this. He who has repented is forgiven and God will remember them no more.
Satan is a liar. He will lead us away from the path of repentance. We may remember our sins, which was never a promise from God. God will remember them no more. We will, so that we will learn from them. We should avoid anything to bring back old sinful memories.
We need to forgive ourselves and also one another. This needs to start individually, then in our families, communities, and finally nations. Let the Love of Christ enter into our lives.
Hope is linked to repentance. We can come to Christ and be perfected. We should not procrastinate. He too speaks of repentance during conference because God has so commanded his servants.
Repentance is not easy; but it is worth the price.
Recognition, remorse and confession and then forsaking sin. These are all prerequisite steps. Restitution is also important.
Christ's Atonement allows full forgiveness to the sinner who has repented. All need to repent. Sins of comission and omission.
Have we experienced the "mighty change" in our hearts? This happens when we are converted.
Fruits of repentance are sweet. Uncontrolled appetite and unbridled passion are diminished with complete conversion to the Lord. Truth becomes more attractive. Repentance allows spiritual growth.
The natural man is an enemy to God, unless through the Atonement we repent and become changed in our natures. Repentance is conversion. A converted soul is a repented soul. Even those who have died will have an opportunity to repent, after paying the penalty of their transgressions.
Jesus wants us for sunbeams and bonding blacksmiths. The sweet blessing of repentance is possible for all of us.2:43 p.m. President Monson thanks all who have participated.
We have enjoyed a wonderful conference. We rededicated the Salt Lake Tabernacle. We have filled the conference center to capacity every session. Our words have gone to the entire world. Use the May Ensign for family home evenings to review what has been spoken in this conference.


I was just wondering if anyone else out there applied to the Dalhousie Second Entry (Accelerated) Nursing program for the 2019 intake! And if so if you have any further information you want to share, or when acceptance usually go out. Thanks!!

Francis Samuel Monaise "Frank" Hodsoll (May 1, 1938 – July 24, 2016) was an American historian. He was the fourth chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. He was appointed by President Ronald Reagan and served from 1981 to 1989.

Hodsoll was principal of Hodsoll & Associates, consultants on Federal policy and management, and a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration. He advised the Brademas Center for the Study of Congress on international cultural engagement. He also served on the 2011 UNESCO World Press Freedom Day steering committee, and is currently engaged with the planning of the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Program in 2012.

Hodsoll recently cochaired the International Cultural Engagement Task Force of the November 2010 U.S. Summit for Global Citizen Diplomacy (principal author of the Task Force's report and video of selected best practices). He had previously chaired the Culture and World Heritage committees of the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO; and was a senior adviser to the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) on international projects involving film, television, and digital media.

Hodsoll chaired the National Endowment for the Arts (1981–89). He is credited with President Reagan's initiation of the PCAH and legislation to create the National Medal of Arts. He initiated the Jazz Masters and National Heritage fellowships, and the Mayors Institute on City Design. He established a new school-based arts education program, published the landmark report Toward Civilization, and began the process that led to national standards. NEA leadership grants during this period included start-up support for the Sundance Institute and the American Masters series on Public Television. He won an Oscar and Special Emmy for his work in film and television preservation.

Hodsoll was the first deputy director for management of the Office of Management & Budget in the executive office of the president. His federal career had included assignments in the White House (deputy assistant to President Reagan), State Department, Commerce Department, and Environmental Protection Agency. He was a foreign service officer 1966-1980, with his last job there as deputy U.S. special representative for non-proliferation.

Following his federal service, Hodsoll founded a nationally recognized mapping and data service in western Colorado, was elected a county commissioner, and served as vice chair of the National Association of Counties telecommunications committee. He has cochaired three American assemblies: the Arts and the Public Purpose, Deals and Ideals: For-Profit and Not-for-Profit Arts Connections, and Art, Technology, and Intellectual Property.

Hodsoll has a B.A. from Yale, an M.A. and LL.B from St Catharine's College, Cambridge, and a J.D. from Stanford. Early in his career, he ran a trading company in the Philippines and practiced law in New York (Sullivan & Cromwell). He married Mimi McEwen, an artist, had two children and two grandchildren, and lived in Falls Church, Virginia.

Hodsoll died on July 24, 2016 in Falls Church, Virginia from cancer. He was 78.

The Australian landscape is an elemental experience. We exist between ancient stone and atmosphere that hums and sparks with history beyond the recollection of mankind. The ancient cultures of the first people tell stories of creation and upending change while newer interpretations explore what it means to make a home of such wild and capricious environs.
Landscape is dynamic, ever changing, and we are thrust along with it, compelled at every juncture to confirm our place within it. Visual exploration starts with ancient storytelling, while Arcadian post-colonial interpretations evolved as artists began to know their surroundings. This knowing opens the discourse and allows other investigations to begin.
It is these investigations that unite the four painters of Geography. All are faculty members of the University's School of Creative Arts, and the individual practices of each expound the ideas of surface and space. The Australian environment does not reveal its secrets readily, and in responding to it, these painters do not necessarily seek to expose it.
Light, that which is particularly unique to our part of the world, provides a passage to experiential immersion. David Middlebrook and Nicole Chaffey seek sky and atmosphere that shifts and shimmers.
Annemarie Murland and Una Rey traverse the tactility of surface. Light here too, plays its role; interplays of reflection are lithe and percussive, shadows deeply and restfully quiescent.


Cognitive load is composed of the the "the number and nature of component skills involved.. and the complexity of the goal hierarchy" (Paas & van Merrienboer, 1994, 355). This load can be subdivided into the intrinsic, germane, and extrinsic (Sweller, van Merrienboer, & Paas, 1998), or the essential, the incidental, and the representational (Mayer & Moreno, 2003). While other studies have examined cognitive load by reducing its extrinsic component (Bannert, 2002) or altering its intrinsic component (Gerjets, Scheiter, & Catrabone, 2004), this research will examine the effects of raising cognitive load.
The experiment varied extrinsic/incidental cognitive load in three ways: visually, audibly, and internally. When instructions for a task are complex, physical visual integration of the material is important to reduce cognitive load (Chandler & Sweller, 1991), so information is physically separated where possible in the high cognitive load condition. Likewise, cognitive load is increased when music is combined with instructions on an audible channel (Moreno & Mayer, 2000), so overlapping sound channels were used to increase bad audible cognitive load. Additionally, internal cognitive load can be overloaded by presenting redundant information on visual and auditory channels. These aspects of cognitive load are the the split-attention effect (where information is physically separated on a page) and redundancy effect (where information is repeated in different media) (Kalyuga, Chandler, & Sweller, 2000). The effect of this load on different forms of cooperation – positive, neutral, and negative – will be the studied in an experiment.

Concussions Lead To Microscopic Structural Changes In The Brain, Three New Studies Say
Whether the changes are long-lasting still unclear
By Lindsey Barton Straus, JD
Effects of Concussion and Repetitive Head Impacts Including Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
News & Studies
Sports-Related Concussions & Subconcussive Injuries
Concussions result in microscopic white matter and inflammatory changes to the brain, say three new studies.1-3
The studies, published in the Journal of Neurosurgery, said co-lead author, Dr. Paul Echlin of the Elliott Sports Medicine Clinic in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, "contribute to converging objective evidence concerning the acute and chronic effects of repetitive brain injury in the sports."
They add to a growing body of research suggesting that concussion can no longer be thought of as a transient injury resulting in just a temporary disruption of brain function, but that it results in persistent structural and electrophysiological changes as well.
Vascular changes
In the first study,1 researchers used a relatively new MRI modality called susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) to measure small changes in the brain called hypointensities in a group of adult male and female adult hockey players in Canada.
They found statistically significant change in hypointensity burden (HIB) in concussed males and a smaller non-significant increase in concussed females three days after concussion, which peaked at two weeks post-injury but returned to preseason levels by season's end. Such hypointensities are thought to be subtle signs of chronic and acute damage due to both subconcussive and concussive injury.
The researchers were unable to account for the gender difference, but speculated that it may have been due to the fact that every individual in the concussed group of male subjects had suffered previous concussions, while a lesser number of the female hockey players had a history of concussions, and perhaps also to a greater tendency of males to underreport concussions.
Although the vascular effects went away, it was "not clear if that would be the case in people who suffer multiple concussions over a period of years," noted study author Ofer Pasternak, a researcher at Brigham and Women's Hospital, in an interview with CTV News in Canada.
And we [also] don't know whether the changes in vascular properties would be affecting other types of changes in the brain that would persist for a longer time," he said.
"Given what is known about the occurrence of multiple subconcussive blows and later concussions, [SWI] may be useful in the detection of cumulative effects of concussion," the study concludes.
White matter changes
In the second study,2 researcher used an advanced form of imaging called Diffusion MRI or dMRI to detect microstructural alterations after concussion to the white matter of concussed players' brains, which are the long tissue fibers through which messages pass between different areas of gray matter within the brain and spinal cord, likened to the cables that connect individual computers in a network.
"What we think we see is some kind of immune response that is activated right after the concussion," Pasternak told CTV News.
"We cannot say yet whether it is long-term damage," although such changes might contribute to long-term neurological deficits or to degenerative diseases such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, in the future," he said.
Structural changes persist
In the final study,3 researchers compared the scans of concussed players' brains with non-concussed athletes using an advanced imaging technique called Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and found changes in white-matter microstructure in those with a history of concussion which were still evident on the end-of-season scan.
The researchers weren't sure why such alterations of the brain's white matter microstructure occurred, but speculated that it may reflect neuroinflammatory or neuroplastic processes of the brain responding to trauma.
They also said it was too early to tell what the long-term effects are.
Caution ahead
Martha Shenton, director of the psychiatry neuroimaging laboratory at Brigham and Women's Hospital and co-principal author with Dr. Echlin on the studies, urged caution in interpreting the results.
"I think one has to be careful here and not say, 'Hey, we're showing permanent damage,"' Shenton told CTV News.
"We aren't saying that. We're saying there's evidence of changes here and we don't know whether they're going to be long term or whether they're going to resolve and what they're associated with."
"But it's at least a little kind of warning ... that if someone has a concussion, don't send them back (to play) right away, give them the proper rest period they need before they get a secondary impact, which can actually be fatal," she stated.
"We know that trauma occurs. We know that in soft tissue you're going to have these findings of inflammation and neuroplasticity, which means changes in the structure, but we'd never seen it before," said Dr. Echlin in the CTV News interview.
The authors stressed that the findings were important, not just for hockey but for football and soccer players, or indeed for anyone who suffers a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury.
Society's choice
The studies are the latest research from by the Hockey Concussion Education Project (HCEP), a collaboration between Echlin and researchers at the Harvard Medical School, Brigham and the Women's Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Charlestown, MA, and the Western University of Canada,
Along with previous peer-reviewed studies by HCEP published 20104-7 and 2012,8-14 Echlin said they provide "clear evidence of microstructural and hemodynamic alterations that occur following concussion."
His hope is that the studies "will help increase the awareness of the possible results of concussions and in this way act as an enticement for future participation in similar studies. We expect that with a larger sample the methods described here may identify additional microstructural alterations that occur following a concussion."
In the end, Echlin said, what is done depends on society's goals: "Will we foster the development of our young people's cognitive, social and physical potential in a safe and protected environment - or will we continue to teach and reward a culture of violence and accepted brain injuries as "part of the game'"? Are we able to evolve and make significant or even radical changes in the sports themselves based on the scientific evidence of too many serious short and long-term brain injuries?"

A.I. talk about Governance & DAOs
Govmos January 1, 2023, 4:55pm #1
Well I guess a lot of us already heard about GPT-3 chat, but for those who don't, that's an open AI chat platform. Very helpful to summarize some complex information in a readable form for the normal human being.
I thought this would be interesting to share the recent chat I had with the AI on cryptos in general and then narrowing the scope to DAOs and their structuring. This was a hot topic there recently, so maybe having AI insight on the matter may help people to grasp what's a stake.
[I skiped the initial part of the talk, where I gave the AI a context on crypto before moving to DAOs]
ME : any thoughts on DAOs ?
GPT : Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are digital organizations that are governed by a set of rules encoded into smart contracts and run on a blockchain. They are designed to be decentralized, meaning that they are not controlled by any single individual or entity, but are instead governed by the consensus of their members.
DAOs have gained a lot of attention in recent years because of their potential to enable more transparent, efficient, and democratic forms of governance and decision-making. They have the potential to disrupt traditional organizational models and to create new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
However, it is important to note that DAOs are still a relatively new and untested concept, and there are many challenges and risks associated with their use. For example, DAOs are vulnerable to code vulnerabilities and attacks, and there have been instances where DAOs have been exploited or hacked. Additionally, there are questions about the legal status and accountability of DAOs, and it is not yet clear how they will be treated by regulators and the legal system.
Overall, DAOs are an interesting and promising concept, but they are also still in the early stages of development and adoption, and it is difficult to say for certain what the future holds for them.
ME : what could be the attack vectors against DAOs ?
GPT : There are several potential attack vectors that could be used to compromise a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO):
Smart contract vulnerabilities: Like any smart contract, a DAO's code is vulnerable to bugs and vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. For example, if a DAO's code contains a vulnerability that allows an attacker to steal funds, the attacker could exploit that vulnerability to drain the DAO's funds.
Sybil attacks: In a Sybil attack, an attacker creates multiple fake identities and uses them to gain a disproportionate amount of influence within a DAO. This could allow the attacker to sway voting outcomes or to gain control of the DAO.
Majority attack: If an attacker is able to gain control of a majority of the voting power within a DAO, they could use that power to manipulate voting outcomes and to control the DAO's decisions.
Frontrunning: In a frontrunning attack, an attacker monitors the blockchain for pending transactions and then executes their own transactions that depend on the outcome of those pending transactions before they are processed. This could allow the attacker to profit from the pending transactions or to disrupt the operation of the DAO.
Phishing attacks: Like any online organization, a DAO is vulnerable to phishing attacks in which attackers use fake websites or emails to trick users into revealing their login credentials or private keys.
There are other potential attack vectors as well, and it is important for DAO developers and users to be aware of the risks and to take appropriate measures to protect themselves.
ME : what would be the best way to structure DAOs ?
GPT : There is no one "best" way to structure a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), as the optimal structure will depend on the specific goals and needs of the DAO. That being said, there are a few key considerations that can be helpful when designing the structure of a DAO:
Decentralization: A key feature of DAOs is that they are decentralized, meaning that they are not controlled by any single individual or entity. It is important for the structure of a DAO to reflect this decentralization, for example by using a distributed governance model or by using a blockchain-based voting system.
Transparency: DAOs should be designed to be transparent, so that all members have access to relevant information and can see how decisions are being made.
Robustness: The structure of a DAO should be designed to be robust and resistant to attacks or disruptions. This may involve using multiple layers of security or implementing measures to mitigate the risks of vulnerabilities or Sybil attacks.
Flexibility: A DAO's structure should be flexible enough to allow it to adapt to changing needs or circumstances. This may involve using a modular design or implementing a system for on-chain governance.
There are many other factors that can also be important when designing the structure of a DAO, and it is important for DAO developers to carefully consider their specific goals and needs when designing the structure of their DAO.
ME : how could we improve the decentralization ?
GPT : There are a number of ways in which the decentralization of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) can be improved:
Distributed governance: A distributed governance model, in which decisions are made by a diverse group of stakeholders rather than by a single individual or entity, can help to increase the decentralization of a DAO.
Blockchain-based voting: Using a blockchain-based voting system, such as a proof-of-stake (PoS) system, can help to ensure that voting is transparent, secure, and resistant to tampering.
Use of multiple blockchain platforms: Using multiple blockchain platforms can help to increase the decentralization of a DAO by reducing the risk of a single point of failure.
Decentralized infrastructure: Using decentralized infrastructure, such as decentralized file storage or decentralized DNS, can help to increase the overall decentralization of a DAO.
Diversity of stakeholders: Ensuring that the stakeholders of a DAO are diverse and come from different backgrounds and locations can help to increase the decentralization of the DAO.
It is important to note that achieving a high degree of decentralization can be challenging, and it may involve trade-offs with other considerations such as scalability and efficiency.
ME : should cosmos blockchains run with DAOs ?
GPT : Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) can be built on top of the Cosmos platform, and it is possible for Cosmos-based blockchains to incorporate DAO functionality into their design. However, it is not necessary for all Cosmos-based blockchains to use DAOs, and the decision to use a DAO will depend on the specific goals and needs of the blockchain.
DAOs have the potential to provide a transparent, efficient, and democratic form of governance and decision-making, and they can be useful for a wide range of applications. However, they also have their own set of risks and challenges, and it is important for blockchain developers to carefully consider whether a DAO is the right choice for their particular use case.
In general, the decision to use a DAO or not will depend on the specific needs and goals of the blockchain, as well as the trade-offs that the developers are willing to make in terms of decentralization, security, scalability, and other factors.
ME : what kind of trade-offs ?
GPT : There are a number of trade-offs to consider when deciding whether to use a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) on a blockchain:
Decentralization vs. efficiency: One trade-off to consider is the balance between decentralization and efficiency. DAOs can provide a decentralized and transparent form of governance, but they may also be slower and less efficient than more centralized alternatives.
Security vs. complexity: Another trade-off to consider is the balance between security and complexity. DAOs can be more secure than centralized alternatives, but they can also be more complex to design and manage.
Flexibility vs. stability: DAOs can be designed to be highly flexible, but this can also make them less stable. On the other hand, more rigid structures may be more stable, but less flexible.
Legal and regulatory uncertainty: There is still a lot of uncertainty around the legal and regulatory status of DAOs, which can be a risk for organizations that decide to use them.
These are just a few examples of the trade-offs that may be involved in the decision to use a DAO, and it is important for organizations to carefully consider their specific goals and needs when deciding whether a DAO is the right choice for them.
I hope anybody reading that thread will have a clearer vision on the matter thanks to that chat !

El Niño linked to 19th century droughts
By Arron Hendy
A LONG-TERM link has been found between the El Niño weather pattern and droughts in southern Africa where crops are already under threat.
Research led by the University of Brighton, published online in the journal Climatic Change, used historical newspapers and materials written by colonial authorities and missionaries to identify variations in rainfall between 1836 and 1900 in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal.
The study's senior author, Professor David Nash of the University of Brighton's College of Life, Health and Physical Sciences, said: "Given that this year's Pacific El Niño event is likely to be the strongest ever recorded, these are potentially worrying times for the people of the subcontinent."
The findings come on the heels of the World Food Programme and Food and Agriculture Organisation predictions that as many as 29 million people in southern African countries are food insecure and that that lower rainfall in the region will lead to reduced cereal yields and higher prices.
Professor Nash said: "Results indicate that the region was affected by severe or multi-year drought on eight occasions (1836-38, 1861-63, 1865-66, 1868-70, 1876-79, 1883-85, 1886-90 and 1895-1900). Six wetter than average periods were also identified (1847-49, 1854-57, 1863-65, 1879-81, 1890-91 and 1892-94). The timing of these events agrees well with independent reconstructions of 19th century rainfall for other parts of southern Africa, suggesting subcontinental scale variability.
"The timing of droughts shows a strong relationship with El Niño events, particularly during the latter half of the 19th century. Drought events were particularly severe during the rainy season immediately following an El Niño event."
Professor Nash said combining the results of this study with other annually-resolved records of past climate from southern Africa and surrounding oceans shows that mean summer rainfall has been declining progressively over the subcontinent for the last 200 years.
"We knew from our previous research that historical documents held huge potential for reconstructing the climate of the past. What we never expected was the level of detail we would find in materials from KwaZulu-Natal. From newspapers such as the Natal Witness we could build up an almost weekly picture of the weather from across the region.
"Our work not only identifies rainfall variability in KwaZulu-Natal but also confirms that the link between El Niño and drought in southern Africa is long-standing."
The research, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, was conducted in collaboration with the University of Nottingham, Hedmark University College (Norway), King's College London and the University of Sussex.

Teachers' union boss Mike Mulgrew launches campaign against Cuomo Medicaid plan
Powerful teachers' union boss Mike Mulgrew summoned lawmakers to a closed-door strategy session Friday to fight Gov. Andrew Cuomo's budget plan, which would shift more of the growing costs of the massive Medicaid program to New York City and other localities, The Post has learned.
The city having to foot a bigger bill for Medicaid could mean less money for schools and other programs, Mulgrew argues.
"Why am I doing this? I stand up for New York City," the union boss told The Post Friday night.
"You keep fixing the budget in Albany by shifting costs to municipalities. It's 'I balance the budget by making you pay for it.' Enough of this," Mulgrew said.
Mulgrew hosted the extraordinary meeting at UFT headquarters in lower Manhattan Friday afternoon, and it was attended by city Comptroller and mayoral candidate Scott Stringer, Council Speaker and mayoral candidate Corey Johnson, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and numerous state lawmakers and City Council members.
The legislators who showed up to the strategy session included Assembly Health Committee chairman Richard Gottfried, Senate Health Committee Chairman Gustavo Rivera and state Sens. Robert Jackson, John Liu and James Sanders, among others.
Mayor Bill de Blasio did not attend but some budget and agency officials from his administration were there, Mulgrew said.
Mulgrew held court and told lawmakers they must hold the line to block Cuomo's Medicaid plan.
Mulgrew, who was joined by DC 37 executive director Henry Garrido, said his union would support all lawmakers facing tough primary fights if they do the right thing and not saddle the city with hundreds of millions of dollars in added Medicaid costs, according to a source familiar with the deliberations.
Cuomo's plan would cap the growth in Medicaid to 3% to close a projected $4 billion shortfall in the Medicaid. The city and other counties would have to pay for any costs above three percent.
The cost of the Medicaid program in the city increased by seven percent last year.
City budget officers estimate the five boroughs will be on the hook for $1.1 billion annually under the new proposal. The state argues the city is vastly inflating the cost.
Cuomo has also asked his Medicaid Redesign Team to come up with $2.5 billion in recommended savings.
Gottfried expressed concern about delegating decisions to a Medicaid Redesign Team whose members are appointed by Cuomo.
"The Medicaid Redesign Team is meant to be a vehicle for imposing a large part of that cutting. We need to set aside the artificial spending caps' the Governor has imposed, and raise the necessary revenue through taxes on the wealthiest corporations and individuals," Gottfried said.
"It's important that unions representing teachers, municipal workers and others are helping to lead this fight," he added.
Attendee Sen. Liu, who chairs the cities committee, said, "There is a collective sense of outrage and unfairness about the governor's plan to simply shift costs to New York City and other municipalities."
At the heart of the fiscal hole are the exploding costs of the state's $77 billion Medicaid program for the needy, the costs of which are meant to be split between the federal, state and local governments.
In order to help local government abide with a state-imposed 2% property tax cap, the governor and the Legislature agreed six years ago to pick up the added costs for the Medicaid program and freeze payments made by New York City and the counties.
Thanks to an expansion of Medicaid allowed as part of the Affordable Care Act, 95% of New Yorkers now have medical coverage.
But now, surging Medicaid costs account for about two-thirds of the state's projected $6 billion shortfall for the 2020-2021 fiscal year.
Cuomo called the Medicaid costs "unsustainable" and said the cap would serve as an "incentive" to help control costs.
Asked about City Hall's complaints with his proposal, Cuomo earlier Friday said, "The problem with the budget is the Medicaid program is now going up at 7% per year. Seven percent per year is unsustainable, period,"
"It's not whether or not you can pay 7% per year, it's can you survive 7% per year. You can survive on normal inflation index, which is about 3%. So we say to our partners around the State, we can't pay 7, we have to get it down to 3 … This deviation only happened after the locals were no longer paying any money. OK? So we have to get back to 3."
"And this is how we'll do it. You have to have a financial incentive and disincentive. Anything under 3 will give you 25% of the savings. You can make more money than you did last year, anything under 3 will give the local government 25%. Anything over 3, you pay. If you don't go over 3, you don't pay anything. You go under 3, you make money. Period, end of story."

Buzz!, if you haven't heard of it, is a kind of base interactive quiz show that utilizes a buzzer peripheral as its main selling point. SCEA has announced plans for three more games in the series, which include Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz, Buzz! Jr. Robojam, and a re-make of the original Buzz!. The Hollywood Quiz is a variation that primarily features Hollywood and celebrity-based trivia, while Robojam will take a detour from series conventions by shifting the gameplay focus to feature custom robots and mini-games instead of trivia.
The original was generous enough to include four buzzer controllers and these new spin-offs will do the same, which is good, since you feel pretty stupid sitting there buzzing in on your own. If you've already got the controllers, though, or you're just feeling really cheap, a stand-alone version of the game will also be available.
All three Buzz! games will be released on March 11.

"I was born a fourth generation Australian in 1940 in an enclave of German farmers in brigalow country off the edge of the Darling Downs in Queensland in a district called Downfall Creek near the railway siding of Guluguba. I went to the University of Queensland, picking up degrees in Arts and (later) Education. My studies included English, German, philosophy, and educational sociology, psychology and administration. I qualified as a librarian and worked for a few years in the tertiary sector in Adelaide. My substantive career was in the Department of Education in Queensland, as the first Supervisor of School Libraries in 1969, and later with broader duties covering all curriculum materials and associated services. In 1991 Goss's boys turned the public service inside out. There was a 20% survival rate in the senior executive service. I left and took up mowing and gardening, also investing directly in the share market. I meet a wide range of people on a regular basis from pensioners to the moderately rich. I'm plugged into capitalism all over the place, but I'm not a fan. I'm not a philosopher or a sociologist, just someone who is trying to sort out his ideas"

mick (Michael Bremner) spent the latter half of the noughties living in Europe and in front of his laptop. As an Australian postdoc a long way from home who enjoys procrastination, stoushing, the colour purple, and bad jokes vigorous debate and enlightened discussion it was inevitable that he'd be drawn to LP. From mid-2012 he'll be back home in Australia to try his hand at being a Research Associate Professor in the Centre for Quantum Computation and Intelligent Systems at the University of Technology, Sydney. On the intertubes (do we still call them that or is it too 2008?) he can be found at his blog or on twitter. In the real world he'll probably be sitting in some hipster cafe in inner Sydney, still in front of his laptop.

George Eliot and The Mill on the Floss Background
Summary Book Seventh, Chapters I, II, and III
Tom stands outside Dorlcote Mill. Maggie has been gone for five days, and Bob Jakin has reported seeing her with Stephen at Mudport. Maggie arrives at the mill, looking worn and tired from her journey from York and the headache that kept her in bed there for over a day. Maggie approaches Tom to tell him everything, but Tom, looking at her face, knows that the worst has happened—his sister has returned unmarried and disgraced. He rejects her, "I wash my hands of you forever. You don't belong to me." He will not listen to Maggie's explanations. Maggie turns away to leave, and Mrs. Tulliver reaches out to her and offers to go with her. Tom gives his mother money, and Mrs. Tulliver gets her things.
Maggie takes them to Bob Jakin's. Bob takes them in with no questions, though he know has heard all the town rumors about Maggie and Stephen after he saw them at Mudport, and is perplexed at seeing Maggie now alone. Several days later, Bob comes into the sitting room where Maggie is and gives her to hold his new baby, who they have named after Maggie. Maggie asks Bob to go to Dr. Kenn's and ask him to come to Maggie while Mrs. Tulliver is out. Bob reports that Mrs. Kenn has just died and that he wouldn't like to approach Dr. Kenn so soon. Maggie agrees to wait several days. Bob finally gets the courage to ask Maggie if she has been wronged (by Stephen) in any way. Maggie, surprised, says no and smiles at Bob's vehement wish to "leather him till I couldn't see" in the event of Stephen's misconduct. Bob gets up with the baby but offers to leave Mumps the dog for company.
Soon all of St. Ogg's knows that Maggie has returned, without Stephen. If she had returned married, public opinion would have been sympathetic and welcoming. But, having returned unmarried, Maggie's conduct is seen in the worst light and even her very physical appearance is interpreted ungenerously. Stephen, however, is seen in a positive light—as having been under Maggie's spell, but now having got rid of her as soon as possible. The town knows of Stephen's letter, sent from Holland a week after Maggie's return, taking all the blame on himself, but the town interprets this as false but gallant on Stephen's part.
Maggie, meanwhile, takes little notice of the town gossip, being too occupied with anxiety about Stephen, Lucy, and Philip. Her "life stretched before her as one act of penitence."
Maggie has decided to eventually persuade Mrs. Tulliver to go back to live with Tom at the mill, while Maggie finds some way to earn a living. Mrs. Tulliver visits the Deanes' every day to check on Lucy, who has been feeble and bedridden since the news. Mrs. Tulliver can get no news of Philip. In desperate hopes of more news, Mrs. Tulliver visits Mrs. Glegg.
While Mrs. Tulliver visits Mrs. Glegg, Maggie leaves Bob's to walk to Dr. Kenn's. It is Maggie's first time out of doors, and she is met by nasty looks and insolent treatment. Maggie's pride is hurt, and it occurs to her for the first time that people may think she's done worse than just violate Lucy's confidence—they make think she's been compromised sexually.

Japonaiserie, Mon Amour
Tags: Japan, Japanese House
One August, decades ago, I journeyed to Japan. It was the hottest August on record, the Tokyo sidewalks were scalding, one couldn't walk on the pavement after five o'clock in the morning; when we went to the fish market at four a.m., the fresh fish were already spoiling in the heat. Even up in Kyoto, the sacred Temple Deer were lolling in the shade of the Gingko trees, too weak to move. Despite all the friends I have in Japan — despite my love of cherry blossoms, green tea, wind chimes and sushi (not to mention my thousands of Japanese readers) — I vowed never to return.
But now I have returned to Japan in a fascinating new way (complete with deer!): This is the picture of the house I rescued three years ago.
Japanese House at rescue
It had been hand-built in 1965 by a noted Japanese potter from the Corcoran in Washington DC, Teruo Hara, who used the downstairs as his pottery studio with kilns, and the upstairs as living quarters. But that jewel-like craftsmanship was executed nearly fifty years ago, the place had been owned by others, run to seed, boarded up for years: it was a disaster. Upon the suggestion of fellow author and International Thriller Writers co-founder M.J. Rose, I am turning it into a Writers' Retreat. And I'm the first writer to retreat there! My new book, inspired by its hidden symbols and secret messages, will be completed soon.

Q: Comment Box's Post To Wall - Meta Tags Not beIng Recognized I've been creating some basic contests for clients the past few months and all was going well until a few weeks ago when the developer's edit applications page was redone. Now all our past comment boxes are coming up with a warning message stating "Warning: http://apps.facebook.com/OURAPPNAME/ is unreachable."
When creating new apps we don't run into the above problem but the Post To Wall feature is now not recognizing the Meta Tags and states "NAME commented on "URL"" Instead of "NAME commented on TITLE" with an image + description.
Is anyone else running into these issues? I would be happy to post some code if needed.
Thanks!
