She Who Must Not Be Named
All things bookish
Review: A Court of Mist and Fury + A Court of Wings and Ruin
ACOMAF ♥
Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.
"When you spend so long trapped in darkness, Lucien, you find that the darkness begins to stare back."
You know, I'm not a big fan of this genre ( I was in high school, tho :D ) but this book is really amazing and I'm not saying that just because of the similarity to Persephone and Hades ( for those who don't know I'm a little bit too much obsessed about those two :D ), but because it really is a wonderful story.
"To the people who look at the stars and wish, Rhys."
-"To the stars who listen - and the dreams that are answered."
Yes, I'm a sucker for romance and tortured souls like Rhys so that's the main reason I've started reading this book (haven't read the first book btw :D but don't worry, I was able to keep up with the story :D ) but ACOMAF is so so much more than just a love story.
"Tell Tamlin, if he sends anyone else into these lands, I will hunt each and every one of you down. And I will demonstrate exactly what the darkness taught me."
It was great learning about this world, about Faes , about Night Court and ofc about Rhys. He's just so swoon worthy. I fell in love with him at the very beginning :D
"Be glad of your human heart, Feyre. Pity those who don't feel anything at all."
Feyre is finally a female character that is not boring. I was so sick of those oh-so-good-virgin-damsels that probably don't even know what sex is :D
She's smart, she's powerful and she's snarky. Those little snarky remarks between her and Rhys were the best!!!
A Court of Mist and Fury is definitely one of my favorite books I've ever read. 10 stars!!!
ACOWAR ♥
Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's manoeuvrings and the invading king threatening to bring Prythian to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit – and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well.
"Remember that you are a wolf. And you cannot be caged."
I've started reading A Court of Wings and Ruin when it first came out but I was caught up in finals, then my vacation and what not so I've just dropped it and was waiting for a right time to start again. And I know some of you have conflicted thoughts about ACOWAR but, as I've said - I'm not much into fantasy but I devoured these books. Everything is still fresh and new to me so I was enjoying enormously while reading it.
"The most powerful High Lord in the world lost his mate, and has not yet come to claim her, even when she is defenseless in the woods. Perhaps that's because Rhysand has not lost you at all. But rather unleashed you upon us."
The only thing that was missing for me is a big fight between Rhys and Feyre. I think it would add much to this book. Sometimes when main characters finally get together the book turns out to be a bit boring. At least for me.
"I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have... The wait was worth it."
All smiles, unicorns and rainbows make me want to throw up :D I love a book with angst and drama, or constant banter and snarky comebacks and that's why I loved ACOMAF so much more.
"If Rhysand was Night Triumphant, I was the star that only glowed thanks to hiss darkness, the light only visible because of him."
See what I am talking about about? We need more Feysand from the second book.
"I hope you're wise enough to keep your mouth shut, because the next time you look at my mate with that disdain and disgust, I won't bother to explain it again, and I will rip out your fucking throat."
Yep, Rhys as a High Lord is much more interesting. And I must say, Feyre as a High Lady is something I'm looking forward seeing in the next book.
"But here I did not thank anyone. Here I took what was mine, and offered no gratitude or apologies for it."
The next part contains spoilers, so read it at your own risk :D
Remember that moment when Rhys died and Feyre couldn't bring him back? That nearly broke me. Even tho I've read the ending (because I'm that kind of a girl) it devastated me. I think that was the best part of the book. Wonderfully written. Mass never ceases to amaze me with her writing.
"Only you can decide what breaks you, Cursebreaker. Only you."
Overall, I loved this book so much, the writing, the storyline, but not as much as ACOMAF so I'll give it 3.8 stars. Stay tuned for ACOFAS review. I've just started reading it. #happydance
XOXO, B.

Review: When It's Real
Meet Oakley Ford-teen celebrity, renowned pop star, child of famous movie stars, hottie with millions of fangirls… and restless troublemaker. On the surface he has it all, but with his home life disintegrating, his music well suddenly running dry, and the tabloids having a field day over his outrageous exploits, Oakley's team decides it's time for an intervention. The result: an image overhaul, complete with a fake girlfriend meant to show the world he's settled down.
Enter seventeen-year-old Vaughn Bennett-devoted sister, part-time waitress, the definition of "normal." Under ordinary circumstances she'd never have taken this gig, but with her family strapped for cash, she doesn't have much of a choice. And for the money Oakley's team is paying her, she figures she can put up with outlandish Hollywood parties and a team of publicists watching her every move. So what if she thinks Oakley's a shallow, self-centered jerk? It's not like they're going to fall for each other in real life…right?
I have mixed feelings about this book.
I mean I like it, but I expected more drama because.. um, hello.. Royals!!
But no, this one is really sweet, quick and fun summer read.
"If she's angry at me , then that means she's not ignoring me. I don't like being ignored."
Oakley and Vaughn have an amazing chemistry. They are pretty great together. I loved seeing them bicker 24/7 :D
"I can't believe my girlfriend is such a prude."
-"I can't believe my boyfriend is such a douche."
Oh, that was fun!!
I love books that have social media in it because I'm an addict when it comes to Instagram. :D
And there were some really fun tweets between those two.. It kinda reminded me of Spencer by Kerry Heavens (You should read that book, if you haven't already, you won't regret it).
Overall, When It's Real is cute and enjoyable read that will leave you laughing in no time. It's perfect for beach days. You can read it in one sitting, just like I did. So grab your hat, pick up a margarita and off you go!

Review: Blood on Paper
In these pages, Poet Victoria Raine takes us on a journey of her deepest, darkest moments, of trials, failures and betrayals. In hopes, that others not feel so alone through theirs.
You find yourself haunted by the heartache that is almost tangible in these pages, and exhilarated for her triumph over suffering and adversity.
Through her tribulations, her endurance and faith were tested many times over. She shared the beauty in the lessons and the grace through the pain. She found an inner strength she didn't know she had through the power of perseverance, and ultimately surrendering to spirit to sort it all out and lead the way.
This book will make you fall back in love with the magic poetry brings into our hearts and enrichment into our lives.
"Are we waiting to die
or dying to live"
Wow. Victoria really touched me deeply with this incredible work of art. You can tell she poured her heart and soul into this.
This is going to be a tricky review to write because every page is a new tale, a new feeling, a new life.
"She's been out past the shadows
become part of the underworld
she gave away all her virtues
and threw away all her pearls"
This book slayed all my emotions. I could actually feel the emotion behind the words, and I'm still absolutely astonished about it.
There is a lot of suffering in this book, which is part of what makes it so raw and intense.
In this gorgeous collection Victoria Raine addresses some of the darkest and most hopeful matters of the human heart.
"This is what I wanted?
For this I've begged borrowed and stole?
Her laughter now just beyond
the edge of control"
When you pick up your copy you'll see that this book is so heartbreaking but at the same time really healing.
"All the things I did not want
were all the things that I got"
She addresses what it feels like to be broken and to be stronger on your own.
"I've let go
I have broken free"
The poems in this book are beautiful, tragic, raw, and inspirational. There aren't enough words to describe how much I loved this book. Blood on Paper is definitely going to stay on my mind for a while, and I hope to come back to it time and (time) again.

Review: Hades Hangmen Series
It Ain't Me, Babe ♥
Sinning never felt so good…
A fortuitous encounter.
A meeting that should never have happened.
Heart Recaptured ♥
Even salvation can be delivered through the love of the damned…
Beauty can be a curse.
Faith can be a cage.
Only love can set you free.
Souls Unfractured ♥
"For fractured souls are like magnets.
Drawn to collide into an impossible bliss…"
It Ain't Me, Babe is the first book in Hades Hangmen series and it revolves around Mae A.K.A. Salome (runaway girl) and the President of the notorious Hades Hangmen MC - Styx (River). They are both broken on so many levels but at the end I just couldn't think of two better suited characters for each other.
"You will never know, but in the two darkest moments of my life, you have shown up. You say it ain't you who is good and who will keep me safe, but you already have. You have saved my life twice."
Heart Recaptured follows Lilah (Delilah), a girl that is so terrified of the outside world and Ky (Kyler) - VP and the biggest manwhore in the MC. Despite their differences they find in each other what they were looking for their whole life. Watching them grow feelings for each other was the best part of this book.
"He was my very own forbidden fruit, one of which I had to keep far far away."
Souls Unfractured
The love story between Maddie (Magdalene) and my favorite Hangmen - Flame really shattered me. They are both so damaged but that's what drew them together in the first place.
This book will made you fell all the feels. It's really intense and it's far hardest book in series, so you need to prepare yourself with tissues. Believe me!
"I know I'm different. I know I don't see the world like everyone else does. But I want to see your world, Maddie. Even if it's the only one I'll ever understand."
These are the first MC books I've read. Little did I know about these series when I first picked them up but the covers drew me in. Who would have guessed that it would became one of my all time favorites.
It was really hard reading about what happened to those little girls, about their hard life at the Commune. I wasn't able to think straight for days.
I've read few other MC books but nothing could compare to this. It's just different and shows us more than just a love story. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Hades Hangmen series are full of drama, angst, violence, taboo subjects and shocking revelations. Just how I like it. When it comes to Tillie Cole you'll never end up disappointed. 10..... 10..... 10..... 10 STARS!!! ♥
P.S. Deep Redemption will be out in July and I'm counting down the days. I'm so, so, sooo excited! #TheProphetIsComing

Review: Paper Princess
From strip clubs and truck stops to southern coast mansions and prep schools, one girl tries to stay true to herself.
These Royals will ruin you…
Ella Harper is a survivor—a pragmatic optimist. She's spent her whole life moving from town to town with her flighty mother, struggling to make ends meet and believing that someday she'll climb out of the gutter. After her mother's death, Ella is truly alone.
Until Callum Royal appears, plucking Ella out of poverty and tossing her into his posh mansion among his five sons who all hate her. Each Royal boy is more magnetic than the last, but none as captivating as Reed Royal, the boy who is determined to send her back to the slums she came from.
Reed doesn't want her. He says she doesn't belong with the Royals.
He might be right.
Wealth. Excess. Deception. It's like nothing Ella has ever experienced, and if she's going to survive her time in the Royal palace, she'll need to learn to issue her own Royal decrees.
When I first saw this cover I instantly fell in love (I think everyone who follows me on Instagram noticed that :D) . It reminded me of Kiera Cass's Selection series (that's on my TBR list, in case you're interested :D ).
Ella Harper is a survivor.
"My life is mine. I live it. I control it."
It's really rare that I like heroine in books, but Ella is something else. She's really tough and even if she's alone in the world she seems to manage it quite well without anyone's help.
Reed Royal.
"The apple is dangling in front of me, juicy red and delicious, but, like the fairy tale, Reed Royal is the villain disguised as a pretty prince. Taking a bite out of him would be a huge mistake."
Yep, that kind of sums it up. But if you want to know more about our new hottie, you need to read this book. PRONTO!
I loved seeing tension between Ella and Reed. It was so passionate. Their story reminded me of Hessa (After by Anna Todd). It's really intriguing, it's full of twist and turns and you won't be able to put it down.
"You're playing a dangerous game," he rasps out.
"I don't know any other way to play it."
Elle Kennedy and Jen Frederick are an amazing authors and their writing is marvelous. They really have a way with words.
"No one wants to be ruined. We all want to be saved."
There are so many unanswered questions, so many secrets and so many lies that I can't wait for July to come to get my hands on Broken Prince.
If you haven't read Paper Princess yet, you should really get on that. I highly recommend it. It's definitely one of my favorite reads this year.
P.S. Did I ever mentioned that I hate cliffhangers???? Well I do. I hate them!! These Royals really ruined me.

Review: You
When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card.
There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she'll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a "chance" meeting.
As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck's life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck's perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way—even if it means murder.
"I watch you daily, I watch you go to bed, I watch you wake up, I watch you all the time.."
This book is really fucked up...on so many levels.
I'm sitting here and don't know what to write.
I haven't read anything like this since The Girl on the Train (and yes, there's no similarities except stalking). But Joe bring stalking to a whole new level.
These characters are so crazy... No they are deranged. Big time! Their whole relationship is so wrong, so sick and so unhealthy, but that's what makes this book so good.
"You are a woman and I am a man and we belong in the dark together."
Joe, for starters, is so twisted that my mind was spinning the whole time .......
"You are gone, forever and she is here, now."
He's so smart, so shrewd and so psycho. Aaaaand he watched too many chick flicks. I mean, seriously???
But I kind of liked him. It's like I was in his head, living his life, hearing his crazy thoughts. This man has some crazy shit going on in his head.
I could rant about it for hours but you just need to read the book to understand it.
"Before you, there was Candace. She was stubborn too, so I'm gonna be patient with you, same way I was patient with her. I am not gonna hold it against you that in that old, bulky laptop computer of yours you write about every fucking thing in the world except me. I'm no idiot, Beck. I know how to search a hard drive and I know I'm not in there and I know you don't even own anything resembling a notebook or a diary.
One possible theory: You write about me in the notepad on your phone. Hope remains."
"I don't like you right now. You make me do terrible things like hold you down and clap my hand over your mouth."
Beck... Hmmm Beck. I don't know.. She's just meh..
Really fucked up, just like Joe, but I didn't like her. She's an attention seeker (at all costs) and I don't like that kind of people. I just don't.
"You're not afraid of me, of anyone. Men love you. You know it. No man can ever be a mouse in your house because you'll always have someone - a hot clerk in a bookstore, a horny shrink, a closeted rich girl. Someone will always watch over you and you believe that you are special. In the cage, you feel loved, not trapped. Just like me."
The writing is amazing. Kepnes really knows how to pull you in. I need to know more about my new favorite psycho but I will make a break to recover myself first. Sooo, Hidden Bodies wait for me.
When it comes to rating...
It's not that I didn't like this book. I did, very much. It was addictive but I expected more mystery, more drama, just more.. Sooo 4.2 stars from me!
I couldn't help but think of Bang La Decks' song Kuedon the whole time I was reading this book. :D
Caroline Kepnes is a native of Cape Cod and the author of many published short stories.

Review: A Thousand Boy Kisses
One kiss lasts a moment.
But a thousand kisses can last a lifetime.
One boy.
One girl.
A bond that is forged in an instant and cherished for a decade.
A bond that neither time nor distance can break.
A bond that will last forever.
Or so they believe.
When seventeen-year-old Rune Kristiansen returns from his native Norway to the sleepy town of Blossom Grove, Georgia, where he befriended Poppy Litchfield as a child, he has just one thing on his mind. Why did the girl who was one half of his soul, who promised to wait faithfully for his return, cut him off without a word of explanation?
Rune's heart was broken two years ago when Poppy fell silent. When he discovers the truth, he finds that the greatest heartache is yet to come.
There aren't enough words to describe how much I loved this book.
I was up almost all night reading it and I never wanted it to end. It's the type of book that sticks with you and leaves you in tears in no time.
"I have come to understand that death, for the sick, is not hard to endure. For us, eventually, our pain ends, we go to a better place. But for those left behind, their pain only magnifies."
Poppy's and Rune's story is truly beautiful and heartbreaking. They pulled my heartstrings, and I couldn't think of two better suited characters for each other.
"A life without Poppy. No infinity. No forever always. Just ... nothing."
I loved this book. Like crazy... It's so much more than a love story.
It's been a while since I've read anything quite so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. This story was really heavy and unforgettable and I was crying all through it but I couldn't have asked for a better ending to it.
"There was no beginning to us and no end."
It's just so fantastic and I keep going back and re-reading things because this book had me wrapped around it's finger!
I'm seriously mind blown with this book. It's definitely in my top 5 favorite books of this year. You will fall in love with this book and never be able to get out of it.
"The best things in life die quickly, like cherry blossom. Because something so beautiful can never last forever, shouldn't last forever. It stays for a brief moment in time to remind us how precious life is, before fading away just as quickly as it came."
Tillie will make you feel all the feels. She killed this book! If you haven't read anything by her you are truly missing out on some absolutely fantastic books and stories. Tillie always creates such moving and inspirational reads, and this one doesn't disappoint.
"I didn't know why, but capturing moments fascinated me. Maybe it was because sometimes all we get are moments. There are no do-overs; whatever happens in a moment defines life - perhaps it is life. But capturing a moment on film keeps that moment alive, forever. To me, photography was magic."
A thousand "as special as special can be" stars!

Review: A Court of Mist and Fury + A Court of Wing...


Rabbi Eldad Villegas grew up in the city of Bello, Colombia believing he was Christian. By 19 years of age, he was the pastor of a church with 3,000 members. But something didn't feel right. Were there Jewish roots in his past? After a trip to Israel, Villegas began exploring his identity as part of the Bnei Anousim, Jews who were compelled to convert to Catholicism 500 years ago by the Inquisition. He ultimately converted to Judaism…and was ordained as a rabbi. Today Villegas is back in Colombia where he serves as the rabbi for the Bnei Anousim Jewish community in Bello.
We will have a complete profile of Rabbi Villegas in the coming weeks. In the meantime, he sent us this short video documentary, which appeared on Colombian television. It's in Spanish, with English subtitles. It gives a good introduction to the community, with interviews of Rabbi Villegas and Bogota Chief Rabbi Alfredo Goldschmidt, as well as footage of the community members praying with tallit and Tefillin, and talking about their own discovery of Jewish roots.

Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah Bakhri also known as Syed Nizamuddin Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah was a sixteenth-century Sindhi Muslim historian from Bakhar, Sindh (modern-day Pakistan). He is known for writing a history of Sindh, Tarikh i Sind (also known as, Tarikh i Masumi, after the author), published in ca 1600. He was also a trusted lieutenant of the Mughal emperor Akbar. In around 1595 he led Akbar's army in a battle against the Panni Afghans stronghold of Sibi in northwest Quetta, resulting in Baluchistan being annexed into the Mughal empire. Subsequently, in 1598, he was appointed the governor of Sind and Sibi by Akbar.

Minaret of Masum Shah

The minaret of Ali Abuzar is the most conspicuous structure of Sukkur town, dating back to 1607 during the Mughal Empire in the Indian subcontinent. Masum Shah was the governor of Mughal Emperor Akbar who appointed him as the Nawab of Sukkur. The minaret was built in about 1607 the monument, built of red brick, is more or less conical in shape, slightly off the perpendicular and surmounted by a dome to which an internal stone staircase gives an access. It is about 26 metres in circumference and has 84 steps to the top. It is about 31 metres feet in height and can be seen from miles away. This minaret is believed to have been used as a watch tower. The courtyard around the minaret is the cemetery where Mir Mausum Shah and his family members are buried.

Family and offspring of Nizam-ud-Din Mir Muhammad Masum Shah still lives in old Sukkur where he lived during his ruling time. The minaret and its surroundings are still under power of Masumi Family even though Government of Pakistan has taken the management control of this historical site.

What Does Innovation Really Mean to a Company?
What does innovation really mean to a company? As I think about the future for Advanced Energy and our customers, it is clear to me that a holistic vision of innovation, which uses the customer experience and market needs for its foundation, is the most viable strategy. Before you dismiss that remark as platitude, let me break it down.
First, innovation can be recognized as a new technology or a new business model. The microprocessor made from semiconductors is an example of the former, and Uber the latter. Uber is interesting in that, other than a mobile app, they have no product. They leverage social media technology, have zero inventory (vehicles) and outsource their labor (drivers). Drivers succeed based on passenger ratings. It's a great example of disruptive digital transformation and an innovative business model. Products made from semiconductors, on the other hand, are foundational to the explosive growth of computing, mobile devices, and the internet. To be more specific, CMOS – Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors – was the "new" technology that started the aggressive scaling momentum which literally shaped the information technology revolution, and hence our daily lives.
I'll slightly alter a well-known adage, "necessity is the mother of invention" to be "necessity is the mother of innovation." AE is very good at identifying a unique customer need and developing a product that meets that need, and often exceeds customer requirements and expectations.
In my previous blog on digital transformation, I talked about how our products could operate as a system, increasing their value in terms of capability and customer experience. I believe that as we go through our digital transformation, we can combine our exceptional ability to innovate with an awareness of the customer experience. For example, we can create modular, flexible power solutions that integrate into comprehensive systems which are more easily incorporated into an OEM's tool. That's a capability. But what happens if the component needs to be reconfigured? For a customer, taking it off the tool, sending it to us and then reinstalling can create downtime or a least a dip in productivity. Remote, on-the-fly reconfiguration would be better. While that also is a capability, eliminating the steps for the customer changes their experience. When that happens, we deliver a superior product and the best possible experience.
I look at innovation as a spectrum. Incremental innovation has its value; squeezing 2% increase in productivity by improving an assembly process, for example, is meaningful. Improving product functionality to a degree is important but not disruptive or transformative.
Transformation depends on identifying what I call "big bets." These are initiatives that come to fruition in five or more years, establish industry dominance and also influence relevant adjacent industries. We can look to data centers as one such big bet. More than 40% of a data center's ongoing cost is electricity. Large data center providers today are demanding that the community in which they build source at least some of the energy from renewable technologies. One reason is that in the early days of data centers, environmentalists called out providers as "dirty power" mass consumers. In response, those companies focused their attention on vastly improving the PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) and incorporating renewables into their operational model. That was a big bet. And it paid off. Renewable energy has become ever more cost-effective and, with cost not the only consideration driving the decision, many consumers tend to favor companies that are environmentally conscious.
The future is always uncertain. However, what I am sure about is how our history of innovation has led to AE being a market leader, and that we will always keep innovating to improve our solutions and the customer experience.
I set out in this blog to answer the question, "What does innovation mean to a company?" I didn't answer it explicitly because I don't think innovation should be prescribed. It should be innate, part of our company culture. I hope that I've inspired you to think about innovation from your own vantage point and respond with your thoughts.
What do you think our big bets should be? I'd love to hear from you!

It was during my summer breaks during under-graduation. I was visiting home during May 2007 for my semester breaks.That summer I had the opportunity to revisit the pinnacle of Rajasthan - The Mount Abu. One of those usual futile days at home during the semester breaks - I was flipping through boring magazines and trying changing those useless channels. Finally i abnegated to the idea of finding a solution to my idleness. I was soon to be lost in my usual daydreaming sessions when my sequence of thoughts was interrupted by the acrimonious sound of the doorbell - Dad was home after office. Seeing the dismal look on my face I had at the moment he quite understood that his words would definitely be welcomed by me and guess what he wasn't wrong. After having the customary snacks he broke the suspense. Dad had to go on tour to Mount Abu and he had planned for all of us to go with him too....Wow...Wasn't that great!! And When??? The next day... After all those hurried preparations we were on the train to commence our journey. And yeah the journey itself was fun being in one of those royal saloons that dad gets for his trips.
After an overnight journey in the luxury of the saloon we reach our base camp – a small town called Abu Road. It is the last train head before the road journey begins. Landing in the city was enough to bring back the memories of those old times when this was home for me. Those three years of our stay in Abu Road cannot be easily forgotten. The next two days of my life were absolutely full of fun and masti. After a light breakfast and freshening up we embarked on climbing up the slopes of our destination.
The place really has something exceptional to offer to everyone I don't even remember how many times I have visited the place but every-time I visit, the vivid serenity and mesmerizing beauty offers a thoroughly refreshing experience. The spellbinding surroundings you find around you are sure to engulf you in a feeling of tranquilization. One of the few, or probably the only, hill station in the desert state of Rajasthan, Mount Abu is situated at height of around 1200 meters above sea level. The attraction of mount is not only as a hill station but the fact that the place has witnessed various memorable instances of history give it a special importance in itself. And what is there that the place lacks...The grandeur of Delwaras , the state of repose at Peace Park, the devotion at Bharamkumaris' and the adventure of climbing to the acme of the state, Guru Shikhar, everything is so be-charming. It's here that you reckon the adages describing nature as an actuation of writers and acquiesce in to their aptness and believe me this isn't mere adulation.
Well let's cover things one by one. Our first destination at the hill city was the Guest house. It's no less than a picnic spot in itself but that description is for a bit later. We are here in Mount Abu and there is no time to waste. We relax a bit and start onto the first spot to be covered. It was the Delwaras – famous Jain temples. The entire structure is a combination of five different temples based on five Jain Tirthankaras. Built before 13th century AD, marble walls with fine carvings and amazing architectures in the temple offer a marvelous picture of human craftsmanship. Outside the temple, we witnesses special art in people to write our names on a rice beans. It was late evening by the time we were done with the temples and hence we headed straight to the sunset point. The place situated at a high point provided an awesome view of the sun setting behind the Aravalis into the river Banas.
After this, we were back to the guest house for a quick dinner and then visited a man made lake – the Nakki Lake. It is believed that the lake was dug by humans using their nails. We enjoyed a good boating in the lake which itself was quite refreshing. Tod Rock – a frog shaped rock over a peak was visible in the night light. This was end of our day and we retired to have some rest before another day of enjoyment.
We woke up early, next morning, to enjoy the cool mornings at the guest house. It was beautifully maintained place with sprawling green gardens and a few kid-rides. After breakfast, we visited the 2500 year old Achaleshwar Mahadev temple. The temple is famous for the worship of God Shiva's toe and the five metal idol of Nandi – God Shiva's carrier. The holy pond nearby has idols of three bullocks which have a story of their own. The fluency of the story of small kids around the place is simply attention grabbing.
Next on our list was the Guru Shikhar, the highest peak of Rajasthan with a height over 1700 meters above sea level. After a tiring climb up the stairs we were there at the top and the feeling was awesome. There was a small cave temple there and a big bell to ring. We stayed there enjoying the cool breeze and then climbed down.
We are planning a road trip to Mount Abu from Ahmedanad, Gujarat this weekend. We are more interested in visiting less explored places in and around Mount Abu.
Can you suggest us any such places?

Keke Palmer On 'Hustlers,' Working With J.Lo, & Her Unexpected Next Step
By Lia Beck
Keke Palmer is starring in a huge movie this fall, she recently released another single called "Twerk N Flirt," and two days before we meet in late August, she landed a gig hosting the third hour of the Good Morning America franchise, GMA3: Strahan, Sara, and Keke. There's a lot of newness in her life, and just when I think we've covered it all, she hits me with a curveball: "I'm getting ready to go to culinary school," she says, taking a sip of green tea. "That's something I really wanted to do in my 26th year."
Oh yeah, Keke Palmer also just turned 26.
Moments earlier, the actor-singer-host-chef and star of Hustlers (out Sept. 13) completed a photoshoot, striking pose after fierce pose in a Christian Cowan shimmering tank dress draped with strands of rhinestones. Now, the sparkles are covered by a black zip-up hoodie and her six-inch heels are promptly removed. After being in the entertainment industry for 15 years, she's a pro. And by her own definition — and pretty much anyone else's — Palmer is also a hustler.
"If you're trying to get from point A to point B and you're the kind of person who has a plan or has an idea of how you're going to get there and you're actively pursuing it, you're someone that I would consider a hustler," Palmer says, defining the title of her new film.
In her opinion, the characters in Hustlers fit her description, too. The film adaptation of the 2015 New York magazine article "The Hustlers at Scores" is about a group of former strippers who scam wealthy men out of large sums of money by drugging them, leading them to clubs, and running up their credit cards. Palmer plays Mercedes, a woman who gets involved primarily to make money to help get her fiancé out of jail. And, like the other women, played by Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, and Lili Reinhart, she also treats herself to expensive clothes and designer handbags.
"Their idea is to get money. They want money. They need it, and they need it fast," Palmer explains. "They have a plan that, 'We're going to get these guys, this is why we're going to get these guys,' they find a way to justify it for themselves ... They was most definitely hustling."
But while the women in the film are hustling to get what they want, they're also working under another definition of hustling: straight up defrauding people, and doing so by spiking their drinks with MDMA and ketamine. The film puts a comedic spin on their scam at times; there are shopping montages and other displays of particular aughts excess. But these are not people to emulate; they're not heroes. In fact, the woman Mercedes is very loosely based on was sentenced to weekends in jail for four months and five years of probation in 2016 for her participation.
She keeps it real. She's loyal. She's a team player. She's daring. I think a lot of those things I can really relate to.
To get into her role, Palmer looked beyond the criminal parts of her character to the parts in which she could see herself. "[Mercedes is] really grounded. I feel like she always says what's on her mind. She keeps it real. She's loyal. She's a team player. She's daring. I think a lot of those things I can really relate to. And then just the fact that she has a sense of humor. That's me all day, every day no matter what is going on," she says.
Palmer also had to look at the actions of the characters without passing judgment, which allowed her to understand why they did what they did.
"They've experienced a lot, and they've experienced a lot with this specific type of group of people," she says of the four women and the rich Wall Street men they once performed for, but eventually hustle. In addition to the challenges each of them meet in their personal lives — being abandoned by parents, partners ending up in jail, single motherhood — the women also deal with men at the club who demean them and can be aggressive. The men have "dehumanized" the women, Palmer says, so when the women decide to turn them into targets, "You can see how the lines between what's morally right and morally wrong get blurred."
Though Palmer has so much going on in her career at all times, her outlook on hustling is based on following her heart first. Her choices — the ones that have brought her an accomplished career working alongside heroes like Queen Latifah in 2012's Joyful Noise and, now, Lopez — seem like they've been easy for her to make because of that.
It wasn't that I thought to myself, 'I want to be an entertainer or I want to act.'
But it wasn't always about making specific career decisions for the Chicago native, who found her breakout role when she was 12 years old in 2006's Akeelah and the Bee.
"For me, it was just that I liked to sing in church, and I just continued to follow that passion," Palmer explains. When she was a kid, her mom found her an audition for a local theater, because it allowed her to sing. That led her to acting. "It wasn't that I thought to myself, 'I want to be an entertainer or I want to act," Palmer continues. "I didn't know anything. All I knew was I liked to sing. I liked to bring joy to people. I liked to put myself out there. And that one little seed of passion of something I found to be enjoyable is what made me all of a sudden realize what I am: I'm an artist."
Once she knew that, she was able to put all of her effort behind her art. And when her dreams come true, Palmer is able to see them as both pinch-me moments and achievements she worked hard for and deserves. "I would hope that I would get to the point to work with all those people that I looked up to as a kid," Palmer says.
For Palmer, Jennifer Lopez was one of "those people".
"She's such a girls' girl. Very just cool, smart. Someone that when you watch [her in action], you're impressed by." And inspired by. Palmer says that the reason making Hustlers was so special was the respect she had for her co-stars. They motivated her to "do her thing," because they were all doing theirs.
Even though Palmer is working with dream-come-true co-stars, she's focused on keeping things down-to-earth for herself and for her fans. Palmer's Instagram — on which she shares behind-the-scenes looks at her career, makes herself into memes, and posts a series of hilarious videos about a character named Janet — has over 8 million followers and is a space for the star to have a "sense of ownership" over how she's perceived.
"It was very important to me to make sure that... I'm not going to be able to help being famous, but that my audience knew that fame didn't make me someone better than they were," she says. It's important to Palmer to use this platform to keep herself grounded, "to make sure that people don't put me on a pedestal," she explains. After all, she's human and despite having millions of people following her on social media, she wants the younger generation that's following her to see her and think, "'I can do exactly what she's doing,' as opposed to, 'This is far beyond my reach.'"
Palmer loves having her passions overlap. That's how she's gone from singing to acting to hosting to... culinary school, without leaving any of those interests behind. Even though that last part of the trajectory might seem unexpected to some, to her, it makes total sense.
"There's an umbrella of what we're all into, and I think it's important that we all try to taste a little bit," she says. "When I take time to do music, I have something ... to take back to acting. When I spend time on my acting, I have something to talk about when I'm expressing myself on a platform like GMA. And, hopefully, when I decide to go to culinary school that also inspires my other creative work."
If Palmer comes across like someone who can just go, go, go without ever getting overwhelmed, that's because she sort of can. At this point, slowing down feels unnatural to her. "If I'm not doing something, then I feel kind of like, 'Oh my gosh, what's going on?'" she says. With her plate so full, that shouldn't be an issue.

AAA Survey: Majority of Americans Still Fear Self-Driving Vehicles
editor@aashto.org March 15, 2019 0 COMMENTS
A recent telephone survey conducted by AAA found that 71 percent of those polled are "afraid" to ride in fully self-driving vehicles – a result of what the organization called several "high-profile" autonomous vehicle crashes.

"Automated vehicle technology is evolving on a very public stage and, as a result, it is affecting how consumers feel about it," noted Greg Brannon, AAA's director of automotive engineering and industry relations, in a March 14 statement. "Having the opportunity to interact with partially or fully automated vehicle technology will help remove some of the mystery for consumers and open the door for greater acceptance."

He added that experience seems to play a key role in impacting how drivers feel about automated vehicle technology. For example, many cars on the road today are equipped with advanced driver assistance systems or ADAS, which are considered the "building blocks" for fully self-driving vehicles.
In fact, AAA's survey revealed that regular interaction with ADAS components such as lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and self-parking functions can "significantly" improves consumer comfort level. On average, drivers who have one of these four ADAS technologies are about 68 percent more likely to trust these features than drivers who don't have them, the group noted.
[Editor's note: a separate study AAA conducted last year found that many drivers "misunderstand" or "misuse" ADAS technology as well.]

AAA's poll also found that Americans are more "receptive" to using automated vehicle technology in "limited" applications, as 53 percent said they are "comfortable" with low-speed, short distance forms of transportation such as people movers found at airports or theme parks while 44 percent are comfortable with fully self-driving vehicles for delivery of food or packages.
[The Rhode Island Department of Transportation hosted an autonomous vehicle technology demonstration on Feb. 20 to showcase the use of self-driving "shuttle buses" on "low-volume" roads.]
"Despite fears still running high, our study also shows that Americans are willing to take baby steps toward incorporating this type of technology into their lives," AAA's Brannon said. "Hands-on exposure in more controlled, low-risk environments coupled with stronger education will play a key role in easing fears about self-driving cars."

Dona Catarina, Infante de Portugal, dite Catherine de Portugal, duchesse de Bragance par son mariage, est née le  à Lisbonne et morte le  à Vila Viçosa.

Elle est la deuxième fille de Dom Duarte, Infant de Portugal, dit aussi Édouard de Portugal, frère cadet du roi Jean III et fils cadet du roi Manuel Ier, duc de Guimarães, et de l'Infante Isabelle de Bragance. Après la mort de son frère le Connétable Dom Duarte, Infant de Portugal, duc de Guimarães, elle hérita de ses droits à la couronne portugaise, puisque sa sœur Dona Maria, Infante de Portugal, mariée au duc de Parme, Alexandre Farnèse, perdait ses droits en ne les réclamant pas et en maintenant sa descendance étrangère au royaume de Portugal. Pour cette raison, à la réunion des États à Lisbonne, en 1641, il fut décidé que la couronne portugaise ne pourrait plus se transmettre qu'aux princes naturels c'est-à-dire portugais.

Les droits de la princesse Catherine à la succession de Portugal, droits qu'elle réclama en 1580, étaient ceux d'être la seule princesse portugaise alors vivante avec descendance, la petite-fille par les mâles d'Emmanuel le Fortuné, tandis que Philipe  (Philippe II d'Espagne), qui occupa militairement le Portugal en 1581, forçant son acclamation à la couronne, n'était que son petit-fils par les femmes, sa mère, l'impératrice Isabelle de Portugal, femme de Charles Quint, venant après tous ses frères dans la succession royale.

L'Infante Dona Catarina épousa son cousin Jean  de Bragance, duc de Bragance.

De cette union naîtront :

 Marie de Bragance (1565-1592)
 Séraphine de Bragance (1566-1604), en 1594 elle épousa Jean Pacheco, duc d'Escabre, (1563-1615)
 Théodose II de Bragance, duc de Bragance
 Édouard de Bragance, marquis de Flexilla, (1569-1627), en 1596 il épousa Béatrix d'Oropesa, en 1610 il épousa Guyomare d'Ayras de Pardo.
 Alexandre de Bragance (1570-1608), il fut archevêque d'Evora
 Chérubine de Bragance (1572-1580)
 Angélique de Bragance (1573-1576)
 Marie de Bragance (1573-1573)
 Isabelle de Bragance (1578-1582)
 Philippe de Bragance (1581-1608)

On-hold messages are custom messages that a business can get to market its products and services to customers when calls are on hold. A business can also employ a standardized and professional like KillerSpots greeting to its customers when they call. Instead of hearing some random, annoying music, the company can use specific messages to keep the customer engaged when calls are on hold, and get the customer to know more about what is available for them at the same time. Find out some of the benefits that your business can gain from using such services in this article.
It is possible for a business to increase its sales through such services. When customers are made aware of various other products and services available for them through the on0hold messages, they can become interested in them and may end up purchasing them. The customer will also get a chance to inquire more about the products they hear about when the holding is over. This provision makes the method of advertising authentic and active since consultation about the products and services can be almost immediate, unlike a situation where a customer can see an advertisement on other platforms but may not remember or have a chance to ask more about it. Such a provision also makes it easy to create long-lasting customer relations since there can be consultative discussions about the information that they get through the messages. Also, the professional greetings can be so warm and inviting that the customer feels as though it is a personal message to them, and information can be included in the greeting to provide some basic information about the company.
The services can be made in such a way that you have various rotating ads whenever calls are made. This aspect can reduce boredom in advertisements from killerspots.com. Customers can also be encouraged to call more when each time they call, they have something else to learn about other than what they already know about from their previous calls. The company will also get the messages updated to reflect any changes in the business so that customers learn any new information. Through this means, a business can manage to keep customers engaged and updated about what is available for them in the business. They will thus enjoy convenience in the process of purchasing what they need because they will have heard so much about the company and its services.

Previously published cohort studies in clinical populations have suggested that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for mortality associated with cardiovascular disease. However, it is unknown whether sleep apnea is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in a community-based sample free from clinical referral bias.
Residents of the Western Australian town of Busselton underwent investigation with a home sleep apnea monitoring device (MESAM IV). OSA was quantified via the respiratory disturbance index (RDI). Mortality status was determined in 397/400 participants (99.3%) after up to 14 years (mean follow-up 13.4 years) by data matching with the Australian National Death Index and the Western Australian Death Register. Univariate analyses and multivariate Cox proportional hazards modelling were used to ascertain the association between sleep apnea and mortality after adjustment for age, gender, body mass index, mean arterial pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, diabetes, and medically diagnosed angina in those free from heart attack or stroke at baseline (n = 380).
Among the 380 participants, 18 had moderate-severe OSA (RDI > or = 15/hr, 6 deaths) and 77 had mild OSA(RDI 5 to < 15/hr, 5 deaths). Moderate-to-severe OSA was independently associated with greater risk of all-cause mortality (fully adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 6.24, 95% CL 2.01, 19.39) than non-OSA (n = 285, 22 deaths). Mild OSA (RDI 5 to < 15/hr) was not an independent risk factor for higher mortality (HR = 0.47, 95% CL 0.17, 1.29).
Moderate-to-severe sleep apnea is independently associated with a large increased risk of all-cause mortality in this community-based sample.
Green line indicates the survival distribution for participants with moderate-severe sleep apnea (RDI ≥15), the Red line those with mild sleep apnea (RDI 5–14) and the Black line those with no sleep apnea (RDI <5). Circles indicate censored observations. The visually apparent difference between the Green line and the Black line is statistically significant (P < 0.001, see also and for multivariate confirmation).


Chicken curry is a popular dish in most of Asia, and in China it is usually something that someone makes when cooking for themselves. You do not usually find it in restaurants since people usually go to restaurants with a group of people and eating is sort of like a social event. Sometimes I find a place that serves it, and I really like it. While I was at the grocery store the other day I found some curry mix, so I also bought the things I needed to make some.
You can use any type of chicken. Most places use dark meat, but I happen to use chicken breasts because they are easier to cut up. You can also use white or yellow onion.
In a wok or large pan you put in two tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat that. When the oil is hot enough add the chicken and stir fry it until the chicken turns white. Then add the vegetables in and stir fry them together for a minute or two.
Then you want to add enough water to cover everything. Bring it to a boil and then cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
The curry mix is solid and comes in a package. It is formed in blocks, sort of like a big candy bar. Break it up and add it to the mix. The solid curry mix will melt pretty quickly. Stir it into the mix and then cover it up and let it simmer again for about 5 minutes.
After it simmers a few minutes check it to see if it is too dry or too wet. If it is too dry then add some water and stir well. If it is too wet then let it cook on low heat uncovered for awhile.
To serve it, just ladle it out on top of some rice. Enjoy!
One thing I discovered is that if you forget to use your fan above the stove top is that your kitchen will smell like curry for a long time. Haha!
Chinese New Year (often called Spring Festival here) was yesterday. The day before last I met up with my friend Kitty at a grocery store near where she lives and we bought a bunch of food to make a Spring Festival dinner. Actually, her plans changed so we ended up making lunch instead. We decided to make some dumplings, steamed shrimp, green beans, and kung pao chicken.
I have made dumplings before, but never made the filling before. The filling was made up of ground pork, minced ginger, a dash of salt, a dash of pepper, and some vegetable that is like a spring onion, but not as strong.
One of Kitty's roommates help with the cooking too.
We also had some strawberries and fruit juice.
After lunch I went home and took a nap. We had ate a lot. In the evening I went to the only place that I knew that was open... Shamrock Pub. There was a pretty good size crowd that night... mostly foreigners.
At one point in the evening we had a dumpling making contest.
I made dumplings earlier that day, so I got chosen to be a judge. The winning team won a bottle of red wine.
At midnight we went outside and shot off a bunch of fireworks and watched as most of ChengDu did also.
At one point a little after midnight it started to snow. It wasn't long before it changed into rain though.
On New Years day I stayed home and relaxed. Played on the computer a little and read some of Flashman for Freedom.
I had wanted to start trying to cook some Chinese food a few weeks ago, but discovered (when Amber came over and cooked for me during the last holiday) that my fan above my stove was not working. A lot of Chinese dishes require a lot of oil to cook, and you need a fan going or else your kitchen will get a little stinky after awhile. Later I found out that there was a switch on the other side of the kitchen that needed to be turned on, so now my fan works and I can now try to cook some Chinese food.
In the lesson Qiang Ye uses corn starch, which is not used here. Here we use potato flour as a thickener. Another change I made was to use 2 cups of rice which when cooked makes about 4 cups of rice. I didn't take any pictures while making my fried rice, but it turned out really well. I was surprised and very happy about it.
On Saturday night I went out to dinner with Fiona, and we tried a sushi place at Wanda Plaza. The sushi was kind of so-so, but the restaurant was kind of neat. We sat up at the counter, and they have a little conveyor belt that goes around with a bunch of different types of sushi and shashimi. In the middle are the guys who make the sushi. When you are done the waitress counts your plates, which are color coded depending on the price of the dish, and figures out the total cost of the meal. After dinner we went to a store and I bought some groceries for what I wanted to cook on Sunday.
Half tablespoon of dried Sichuan flower peppers (very spicy).
...and also cut up the vegetables, put in a small bowl and set aside for later.
The three small bowls (from left to right) are vegetables, peppers, and sauce.
Mix all that in a small bowl and set aside for later.
I then put about 2 cups of vegetable oil in a wok and heated that up. When it was hot enough I added the chicken in and cooked that about half way.
This was the first time I had cooked this, so I was not too sure if it would turn out good or not, but after added the sauce it really started smelling wonderful, so I was kind of happy.
There were two things wrong though... first, it turned out to be really really spicy. Second, it was a little too oily. So if you are going to make this dish you will want to reduce the amount of chili peppers, Sichuan flower peppers, and/or chili bean paste, as well as reducing the amount of oil used. I also could have probably added another chicken breast and some more spring onion without changing any of the other ingredients. I think I will have to practice making this some more before it gets as good as I would like.
Last week Tina and I went to see the movie Ip Man (Grandmaster Yip Man will be the international English title). The original is in Cantonese, but the version of the movie I watched was in Mandarin. Who ever did the voice-overs in Mandarin had really good accents, since I had an easier time understanding them than I thought I would. The movie is a story based on Yip Man, who was a Grandmaster of Wing Chun style kung fu and was famous for being Bruce Lee's teacher.
The way this movie was put together is different than most martial arts movies in that it isn't really an action movie. There are some martial arts fights in the movie, but there is a lot more to the movie. There are so many different elements weaved through out the story that it was easy to see why the audience seemed very moved at different times for different reasons. It is definitely a movie that even people who do not like kung fu movies would like. Of course, the martial arts scenes were very very good. Wing Chun style kung fu is really fluid, and watching Donnie Yen perform this martial art is just beautiful to see. Hiroyuki Ikeuchi's karate is also amazing to watch when he finally unleashes all his speed and power.
I won't go into much of the details of the story, but the only part that I didn't care for was that latter part of the movie wasn't very historically accurate. I have not been able to find any stories of Chinese and Japanese martial arts competitions during World War II, and I can not imagine the Japanese putting themselves in the position of doing martial arts competitions with kung fu masters in occupied China. From what I have been able to find, the Japanese asked Yip Man to teach some of their soldiers kung fu but he declined.
It seemed to me they made these changes to Yip Man's life story, not so much to make the story more exciting, but more to increase the nationalistic mood of the movie. When we were leaving the theater I heard someone say that watching a movie like that makes them hate the Japanese even more. I doubt if many people watching this movie outside of China would think this way (I didn't); but there is no shortage of movies and TV shows here (that are mostly fictional) that run along the theme of hating Japanese, or hating Manchurians, or hating so-and-so. It's kind of depressing sometimes.
Even though part of the movie was not historically accurate, I would recommend the movie. It was very good. Audience reaction (both inside and outside of China) is so good that they have already got the green light to start on the sequel. I do not know what the sequel will contain, but I disagree with the article at Twitch which says that the original movie needs no continuation. I think it would be interesting to see a movie about Yip Man and his students, especially Bruce Lee.
Back at work today after two weeks vacation. Today is Sunday and we are working today so that we could have off last Friday without using a vacation day. Most of our customers are still on holiday, so it's not too busy today.
Probably the most enjoyable part of vacation is not having to get out of bed at any particular time. Usually I sleep about 6 hours a night during my work week, but during vacation I sleep anywhere from 6 to 12 hours. So, what else did I do during my vacation (besides sleep)? Most of the time I spent playing Everquest 2 (EQ2), reading Flashman and the Mountain of Light, shopping, cooking, and eating, as well as attending a few parties.
The first two days of vacation was spent sleeping and playing EQ2. In EQ2 they were having their Christmas event, which is called Frostfell. It was a lot of fun little holiday-type quests, and there were a some holiday-type fluff items that you could get for you characters, as well as some very good items. It was pretty fun, and I got a lot of junk for all of my characters.
The day after that I joined Amber for lunch at a really nice Sichuan restaurant. Then we went to Carrefour and shopped for a new rice cooker and a bunch of groceries. Amber cooked dinner for me that evening at my apartment. She cooked a soup made of egg and seaweed; a dish made of sliced pork, celery, and ginger; and also cooked some rice using my new rice cooker. It was very good. I wanted to try to cook some Chinese dishes during the holiday, but discovered that the fan above my stove was not working. Something you definitely need when cooking with all that oil.
On Christmas Eve I went out to a party with Tina. I know Tina likes to sing, but did not know she liked to dance and it turns out she is a really great dancer. I can not remember when the last time I had such a good time dancing with someone. I wish I hadn't forgot my camera... Oh well. Sometime during the party I ran into the owner of the Shamrock Pub and he invited me over for Christmas dinner.
I spent Christmas day sleeping and reading more of Flashman and the Mountain of Light. Probably not the most appropriate thing to be reading on Christmas (Flashy is so anti-religous sometimes), but it was nice to read something other than technical manuals. On Christmas evening I went over to have dinner at the Shamrock Pub, and they had a very nice dinner setup for us. The owner had invited about 20 of us over for dinner. The guests were from the Australia, Belgium, China, England, New Zealand, and me from the USA. For dinner we had steak and salmon, or chicken and ham; as well as a salad, vegetables, and a Christmas pudding (which is sort of like fruitcake with rum in it). It was all very nice! Forgot my camera again... drats!
The next few days were spent sleeping, eating, reading, playing EQ2, etc... Pretty much just relaxing and hanging out at the apartment. One night I watched the movie The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. It was an ok action-packed adventure that is a good way to waste an evening. I'll have to see if I can find that one on DVD. I also watched a Redskins game that my Father had recorded on DVD and sent to me. I miss being able to watch football. If the Redskins ever have a good season I am sure I will miss it even more.
One day I got together with Reese and we went looking for a Muslim restaurant we had heard about near the south gate of Sichuan University. Luckily our taxi driver knew where it was, and we didn't have much trouble finding it. We had dapanji, lamb kabobs, naan (bread), and some lamb soup. The place that we usually go for dapanji has much better dapanji than this place, but that is all they serve. This new place had a lot more to choose from. I guess if I ever want dapanji I will go to the old place, but I'm sure to go back to the new place to try some dishes from Xinjiang province.
On New Year's Eve day I got together with Amber and we went out to lunch at a Korean restaurant I had heard about. The food was very good, but a little more costly then the other Korean place I had been to in ChengDu. It turns out that the manager (owner?) of the place is from Korea and we got a chance to talk a little bit before leaving. I use to live in Korea 24 years ago (has it really been that long?), and I was surprised at how much of my Korean I had forgotten (yep... long time).
After lunch I went back to my apartment for some more sleep and a little EQ2. Amber and I were suppose to meet up that evening to go to a party, but she canceled at the last minute so I went by myself. The party was very crowded and I got to see a lot of old friends and meet a bunch new ones. Forgot my camera again. After the big countdown I was hanging out with two young ladies, one of whom I knew from before and one I had just met that evening. They were both a lot of fun to chat with. We left the party at around 3:00am and decided to go to a bath house that was nearby.
This was the first bath house that I had been to in ChengDu. I had been to a Korean one in Dalian before, but this was a little different. The ladies went off to the ladies' section and I wondered off to the men's section. First stop was the sauna where I sat and sweated as much of 2008 out of me as I could. Then a long soak in the hot tub. Ahhh. After that I was given some pajama-like outfit to wear, and then I went looking for a cigarette and the ladies I had come with.
Like almost everything in ChengDu, the bathhouse was a very relaxing place. There were lots and lots of people sprawled out on couches and big comfy chairs everywhere. Some people were still up playing mahjong, but most of the place was snoozing. Eventually I found the ladies I had come with. One of them curled up on a big comfy chair and went to sleep, and I ended up talking to the other one for a few hours. Eventually I went home and to bed. I think it was a little after 7:00am.
On New Year's day I slept most of the day. I woke up for a few hours in the afternoon, since my housekeeper came over to clean. I had forgotten to tell her she did not have to come over that day. After she left I slept some more and then got up at around 7:00pm to have some dinner and I watched the movie The Express (The Ernie Davis Story). That was a pretty good movie too. Reminded me how crazy the crowds at WVU football games were when I went to school there (but not for the same reasons now). After that I went back to sleep and didn't wake up until later the next day.
Friday was just a lot of eating, reading, and playing a little EQ2. Yesterday I went to Hooters for brunch and had the steak and eggs, played some more EQ2 in the afternoon, and then went to join my friends Cynthia, Tony, and some friends of Tony's for dinner at a hotpot place. It was a nice way to end the holidays.

Why does the periscope white screen not work
by dakus
White screen. the reason is in the damaged matrix
White screen on a laptop: reasons what to do?
Matrix loop problem
When a virus or software glitch is the cause
Motherboard chips are damaged
Yandex Browser or Google Chrome gives a black screen
This reason "pops up" immediately after turning on the PC, since no system startup will be performed, and there will be snow on the screen. However, this does not mean that the monitor has already worked. If you have an HDMI port, then connect the device to a TV and doubts will be confirmed or refuted. A SIMilar procedure can be done with a stationary monitor. Therefore, if the image is transmitted without distortion, then display replacement is inevitable.
Most often this happens due to a burned-out matrix. In most cases, severe mechanical shock is also fatal. For example, the laptop fell off the table or the top cover was closed inappropriately.
If liquid gets on the laptop, then the probability of matrix corruption (or rather, oxidation of its contacts) is 200%.
The way out of the situation, perhaps, is obvious. replacing the matrix, since there are no recovery methods, this part is of a completely different type.
Every user is constantly faced with sudden computer problems. Most of the problems that have arisen directly or indirectly depend on the actions of the user. This is what experts say, stating that about 70% of failures and malfunctions are caused by viruses and incorrect user actions. The rest of the problems comes from the external environment and comes from macro factors (for example, factory defects). One of the common problems that arise through users' neglect of elementary rules for handling the device is a white screen (not to be confused with a blue screen).
The appearance of a white screen indicates a software or hardware problem. The thing, of course, is not pleasant, but this is far from a disaster. The key to the solution is SIMple. you need to find the cause of this phenomenon. Of course, in order to understand what was the source of the malfunction in your situation, you need to know about the "symptoms" that are characteristic of a particular breakdown. If you carefully analyze the situation, then in some cases the user can save his monitor and wallet at the same time.
A matrix train is a fragile and refined thing. It serves as a kind of connecting link between the matrix and the motherboard (more precisely, its batteries). The train is a very delicate piece, so kinking or breaking can happen instantly. Depending on the current situation, it must be returned to its natural position (if you are not sure, then it is better not to do it yourself and trust a specialist) or replace the part. Basically, the first option is a very rare case when the cable just moved away a little and it can be put in a standard position so that contact resumes and the matrix starts receiving power again.
READ How To Unlock Home Screen Style On Honor
In this case, the situation will look like this: although the device starts up and the system can work safely for a while, at one point, the computer monitor literally turns white. By this "wonderful moment" experts mean an attempt to launch any program or connect to an Internet resource.
When the above readings are identical to your case, then enter Safe Mode and scan your hard drive to check for viruses.
Experts recommend doing a scan using the Doctor Web utility. it is free and easy to install and use. For those interested, here is the download link: www.freedrweb.com/cureit/.
After that, roll back the OS. Create control points yourself. If your device is hit by a more "skilled" virus, then it can SIMply block the recovery procedure. In this case, another useful utility will come to the rescue. We are talking about AVZ, which fights such serious "guests" as network and mail worms, Trojans, etc. The tool download link looks like this: www.z-oleg.com/secur/avz/download.php.
It is worth noting that if this reason became the source of your problem, we can say that you are still lucky. software malfunctions occur in only 10 situations out of 100. The rest of the cases relate to the hardware part, which very often ends in repairs and unintended expenses.
The most vulnerable chips of the "mother" are the video adapter and the north bridge. Alas, it is not so easy to understand whether something happened to them, since the symptoms are typical for the problems described above. In particular, malicious "whiteness" can appear both at the stage of system boot, and during video playback or application launch. By the way, it's not for nothing that we mentioned these components as a single problem. in most cases these parts are "covered" at the same time.
READ How to record screen on Honor 20
It is unlikely that we can advise any effective methods of checking the health of chips at home. here you cannot do without the hand of a master, although this is not a cheap pleasure. The only thing that the problem can be sent to the video card is if a white screen appears after trying to launch a game or video file. By the way, even if the specified parts need to be replaced, some other procedure will be required for correct operation (cleaning parts, for example). It can take up to 2 hours to fix the situation, and in some cases even several days. In general, there is a direct road to your service center and you should not take any measures on your own. this can only aggravate the situation and make repairs more financially expensive.
Overall, this article contains a description of the most common causes of white screens. In fact, there are many more of them, but then the problem is solved at the individual level and, as a rule, with the participation of a specialist. We hope that our material will help you get rid of the white screen quickly and cost-effectively.

READ The Screen Turned Over On The Laptop What To Do
Google Chrome or Yandex Browser can sometimes display a black screen on a computer running Windows 10/8/7. There are many reasons why a browser might display a black screen on Windows. If you often encounter a problem when a black screen appears in Google Chrome or Yandex Browser, then we will analyze several reasons that can help you solve this problem. I will rely on the example of "Google chrome", but the Yandex browser is made exactly the same way, so I think you will not have it when solving problems.
Disable hardware acceleration
By default, Google Chrome, Yandex Browser use hardware acceleration to improve performance. However, sometimes your hardware (more precisely, the GPU) may not meet the requirements. Hence, you may see a black screen. In this case, you can try disabling hardware acceleration from the settings panel. To do this, open the settings page for Google Chrome or Yandex Browser:
Click on the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of the browser to open the settings.
Select from the dropdown menu "Settings".
Scroll to the very bottom and click on "Advanced".
Find the line "Use hardware acceleration" and disable it.
Disable browser extensions
Extensions can cause problems. In my case, it was the LastPass Chrome extension that created the black screen in the browser. Therefore, if you have installed some extensions in Google Chrome, Yandex Browser, and you have a black screen problem. Disable all extensions and check if that solves the problem or not. If so, you need to enable the installed extensions one by one to find out the problematic extension. After finding out, you can reinstall it or delete it permanently.
Empty GPUCache folder
One user pointed out in the comments that he solved the black screen issue in the browser by clearing the folder. Follow the path:
C: \ Users \ Your_Name \ AppData \ Local \ Google \ Chrome \ User Data \ ShaderCache \ GPUCache
Delete all content in the GPUCache folder.
Reset Google Chrome browser
Resetting default settings anytime, anywhere is considered the safest way. Go to the browser settings as described above with clicking on the ellipsis, scroll to the very bottom and click "Reset". If all else fails, then SIMply uninstall the browser and re-download for a clean, fresh installation.
In the old version of the browser on the Chrome 29 engine, this parameter is not enabled by default, you need to activate it, for this, follow these steps:

Rivalry (, also known as Medico condotto) is a 1953 Italian melodrama film. Written, produced and overseen by Roberto Rossellini, it marked the directorial debut of Giuliano Biagetti. The film was shot and set in Castiglione della Pescaia.

Production
The film is attributable to the trend of sentimental melodramas, commonly called tearjerking, at the time very popular among the Italian public, although frowned upon by contemporary film critics (who only in the seventies revalued these films, specifically coining the term neorealism of appendix).

Cast
Marco Vicario as Dr. Roberto Ferrero
Franca Marzi as Franca
Giovanna Ralli as  Luisa
Saro Urzì as  The Mayor
Edoardo Toniolo as  Mr. Fauci
Pietro Tordi as  Dr. Silvestri

Finding your passion at work is the key to ensure lifelong happiness, contentment and good health. When you love what you do, it matters less how much money you have in the bank. You look forward each day that comes with zest and excitement. You feel your work and everything else in life is full of adventure, opportunities and satisfaction. You are at your best health, you sleep well, and you feel rejuvenated and inspired.
Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky had similar opinions on this effect on a working individual. While he was in prison for expressing negative views against the authorities, he was moved by the misery of prisoners who were tasked to transfer a huge pile of sand all day. He had observed that this group of prisoners was the one who tried to escape thru the electrified barbed-wire fence or committed suicide. The other group of prisoners on the other hand was tasked to build a railroad. They appear to be happier and satisfied, in fact he had heard them singing while at work.
To find passion at work, you must be in the right job where you are given the freedom to become a better and wiser person than you are at the present. And to find the right job, you must be honest with your feelings and thoughts. You must know the things that matter to you and that will really make you happy and content. Take time to incorporate your thoughts and feelings, your sense of individuality, your weaknesses, strengths, the thing that annoy you, excites you, and what you do effortlessly and naturally. Knowing what you want and having the courage to go for it helps your mind and feelings accomplish your objective.
You must also make sure that the work you have provides your needs. Many people quit their jobs because they feel unappreciated, too busy and drained (signs of poor boundaries), unchallenged, and more. It is important for you to examine your needs as it is similar to having the right nutrients in your diet. Fine-tuning your personal needs with the rewards of work gives you security and contentment. Thus, making you more inspired and motivated.
A work with passion is a work that expresses love. This love is not the romantic love but the love that is conduit to expressing goodwill to others and the community and yet you get paid at the same time. When your work is one that spread the love to others, you feel prouder of yourself. To find passion at work, you can re-examine your roles and how it contributes for greater work. Then, remind yourself of those thoughts every now and then.
Some fears are born from abuses and mistreatment we have received from our parents, teachers, former employers, co-workers and other people. These fears oftentimes restrict us to become completely happy and passionate about our work. A lot of people feel empty because they are guilty of the past. They feel there is no possibility of finding the work they love and thus, they only give half of their hearts to it. Finding your passion at work also means letting go of the monsters of the past. When you liberate yourself from negative thoughts out of unpleasant past experiences, you will become more open to experiences that will transform you to a more mature individual – someone that is willing to accept responsibility of changing her life thru her own hands and cooperate with positive people to achieve mutually desirable goals.
