Tom's Hut: An Austrian Cabin in the Woods
Called Tom's Hut, this cabin was designed by the Austrian studio raumhochrosen for a client who is a mental coach and a songwriter. The space was thus intended as a meditative and creative retreat where he can pay attention to both of these passions. Located in the forest of Wienerwald, Austria, the getaway is removed from the stresses of urban life. The remote site is rustic, not entirely cleared and finished with just a hammock, a fire pit, and a picnic area. The wooden cabin itself is composed of a brick foundation, a prefabricated wooden structure, and metal to cover the roof and wood store. Inside and out, the timber is left natural, so as to keep the design as close to nature as possible. The small space is clad with vertical planks that subtly contrast with the horizontally-oriented interior. Linking the summer home to the surrounding wilderness, there are windows with retractable covers. A particular standout is the wall-to-wall viewing window paired with a built-in seat and storage. In the same room, there is a bunk bed, adjacent to a window of its own. The elevated sleeping area, as well as the door frame and other details are fashioned from blackened metal for added support and visual contrast.

Exclusive-Russian invasion damaged up to 30% of Ukraine's infrastructure, says minister
by jcp April 18, 2022
By Pavel Polityuk
KYIV (Reuters) – Russia's invasion has damaged or destroyed up to 30% of Ukraine's infrastructure at a cost of $100 billion, a Ukrainian minister said on Monday, adding reconstruction could be achieved in two years using frozen Russian assets to help finance it.
Ukraine has not previously outlined the specific impact on infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, although officials say the total bill for damage to everything from transport to homes and other buildings runs to about $500 billion so far.
"Practically all components of our transport infrastructure have suffered in one form or another," Infrastructure Minister Oleksander Kubrakov told Reuters.
He said the invasion – which Russia launched in February, calling it a "special military operation" – had affected "20% to 30% of all infrastructure with varying degrees of damage, with different levels of destruction."
Kubrakov said more than 300 bridges on national roads had been destroyed or damaged, more than 8,000 km (5,000 miles) of roads had to be repaired or rebuilt and dozens of railway bridges had been blown up. He put the bill at $100 billion so far.
The minister said his ministry had begun some reconstruction in areas now back under the control of Ukrainian troops.
"If we talk about roads, bridges and residential buildings, I believe that almost everything can be rebuilt in two years … if everyone works quickly," he said.
In the first weeks of the war, Russian forces came close to Kyiv, causing widespread damage to towns and infrastructure in the region. Russian troops pulled back from the north around the capital this month to focus the campaign on the east and south, where the besieged port city of Mariupol has been devastated.
Kubrakov said he expected Western nations to support Ukraine's reconstruction, adding that funds could be found from a range of sources to support the rebuilding effort.
"There are several sources that are being considered. The first is the assets of the Russian Federation, which are now frozen in almost all major countries," he said.
The European Union has been seeking to create an international fund for reconstruction, while some EU politicians have called for using Russian assets frozen by the West, including $300 billion in Russian central bank reserves.
Kubrakov said the Ukrainian justice ministry and some of Ukraine's allies were working on ways to use frozen Russian assets. He said one option would be to raise cash by selling seized assets through what he called a "transparent mechanism".
"I believe that this is fair, such a mechanism has never been used … It will be the first time," he said, adding that setting up such a mechanism would require some pioneering work: "There have been no precedents yet. Was there a precedent for one country in Europe to attack another in the 21st century?"

Zoo Welcomes 3 New Cheetahs Year-Old Brothers arrive to Albuquerque from the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Texas. http://www.cabq.gov/culturalservices/biopark/news/zoo-welcomes-3-new-cheetahs http://www.cabq.gov/culturalservices/biopark/news/zoo-welcomes-3-new-cheetahs/@@download/image/Cheetah Brothers Fossil Rim.jpg
Year-Old Brothers arrive to Albuquerque from the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Texas.
Oct. 24, 2018 - The ABQ BioPark recently welcomed three new young male cheetahs.
The brothers - Garbanzo, Pinto and Borracho - were born at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Texas in May 2017.
"We are very excited to continue our commitment to cheetah conservation and welcome these young cheetahs to Albuquerque," said Erin Flynn, ABQ BioPark mammal curator.
According to Senior Zookeeper Jenn Ericksen, Pinto is the largest and most confident, and has established himself as leader of the pack. Staff is "very excited to start working with these guys," Ericksen added.
Some modifications to the existing cheetah habitat were necessary to accommodate these three new young, energetic males.
During a routine pre-departure exam at Fossil Rim, a small lump was removed from Garbanzo's gums. Although it looked benign, cancerous cells were found in the mass. The ABQ BioPark and Fossil Rim Wildlife Center are working together to conduct follow-up surgery in the hopes of curing the cancer.
"Fossil Rim staff and our veterinary, animal care, and management staff agree that it is in Garbanzo's best interest to bring him to ABQ BioPark with his brothers," said Flynn.
View a video of the three new cheetahs.
In other cheetah news, the ABQ BioPark's nearly 16-year-old female Annabelle has retired behind the scenes where keepers can monitor her closely and accommodate the changing needs of her advanced old age. The median lifespan of cheetahs in human care in Association of Zoos and Aquariums-accredited facilities is 11.6 years.

British Muslims threaten the Pope, British blogger Joee Blogs captured the images after mass in 2006 at Westminster Cathederal.
British Muslims plan on disrupting the Papal Mass in Birmingham, England in September and proselytizing (give Da'wah) to the 80,000 Catholics who are planning on attending the open air event.
The National Catholic Register reported on this recent blog post at The Islamic Standard.
The Birmingham site has been selected over Coventry due to its connection to a dead Catholic priest, Cardinal John Henry Newman who is being made into a Catholic 'saint' for his supposed miracles witnessed by delusional and misguided catholics after his death.
…The Birmingham event however brings the pope and who worship him into direct contact with the the large Muslim population of Birmingham and offers them the perfect chance to learn about Islam and for the Muslims to forbid the Munkar of worshipping dead men and following the dictates of the sodomite child molesting Church of Rome.
We at the Islamic Standard hope the Muslims of Birmingham take this duel opportunity to give Da'wah to these 80,000 travelling disbelievers, whilst at the same time telling the Pope in no uncertain terms what Muslims think of his evil slanders against the last Prophet of God and his message.

Anti-CD20 can block T cell functionality
Anthony DC, Dickens AM, Seneca N, Couch Y, Campbell S, Checa B, Kersemans V, Warren EA, Tredwell M, Sibson NR, Gouverneur V, Leppert D. Anti-CD20 inhibits T cell-mediated pathology and microgliosis in the rat brain. Ann Clin Transl Neurol. 2014;1(9):659-669.
OBJECTIVE:The mechanism of action of anti-B cell therapy in multiple sclerosis (MS) is not fully understood. Here, we compared the effect of anti-CD20 therapy on microglial activation in two distinct focal rat models of MS.
METHODS: The effect of anti-CD20 therapy on lesion formation and extra-lesional microglial activation was evaluated in the fDTH-EAE (experimental allergic encephalomyelitis) model, which is a focal demyelinating type-IV delayed-type hypersensitivity lesion. For comparison, effects were also assessed in the focal humoral MOG model induced by intracerebral injection of cytokine in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunized rats. Microglial activation was assessed in situ and in vivo using the TSPO SPECT ligand [125I]DPA-713, and by immunostaining for MHCII. The effect of treatment on demyelination and lymphocyte recruitment to the brain were evaluated.
RESULTS: Anti-CD20 therapy reduced microglial activation, and lesion formation in the humoral model, but it was most effective in the antibody-independent fDTH-EAE. Immunohistochemistry for MHCII also demonstrated a reduced volume of microglial activation in the brains of anti-CD20-treated fDTH-EAE animals, which was accompanied by a reduction in T-cell recruitment and demyelination. The effect anti-CD20 therapy in the latter model was similarly strong as compared to the T-cell targeting MS compound FTY720.
INTERPRETATION:The suppression of lesion development by anti-CD20 treatment in an antibody-independent model suggests that B-cells play an important role in lesion development, independent of auto-antibody production. Thus, CD20-positive B-cell depletion has the potential to be effective in a wider population of individuals with MS than might have been predicted from our knowledge of the underlying histopathology.
Anti-B cell therapy working in MS has thrown a spanner in the T cell hypothesis of MS. However, not quite it seems. In an animal model of MS it can be shown that inhibition of B cell function can limit T cell activity and so this will limit macrophage/microglial cell activity. It is clear that the function of B cells is not just to produce antibody and anti-CD20 is not on the antibody producing B cells so its action may not be at the level of antibody production. However it is known that B cells can active T cells, is this part of the B cells treatments working in MS. Other groups have found that some T cells also express CD20 and get hit by these antibodies….so the T cell hypothesis is not yet broken. Some may argue otherwise
Mouse, Thanks. Your summary really illustrates why MS research never reaches any definitive answers – too many theories and hypotheses and too many competing teams. This is made worse by EAE – which bears no resemblance to MS. Throw in hormones, gender and viruses and it become even more confusing. It's like trying to solve Rubik's cube in the dark. At least when Prof G returns from his walkabout he won't have much to catch up on – a couple of failed trials and a plethora of EAE or qOL research. I don't think we are any nearer to understanding the disease than 10 years ago.
MouseDoctor2 says:
Can you ever have too many hypotheses? I don't think so. They can be tested.
Some EAE models are far more comparable to MS than others. Our own for example.
Failed trials? Watch this space!
I think we are far closer to understanding MS than we were 10 years ago and the pace of understanding is increasing.
Is 'thrown a scanner (I assume MRI) in the works' a neurology phrase?
Ho ho. Typo corrected.

As a pastor, I believed this was a fascinating description of human behavior. It isn't tough to second-guess Diane's choices (e.g. she may well have introduced herself when the man first got sick), but seriously - I can second-guess a lot of my personal previous (Why did not I say one thing to my grandmother that last time I saw her? Why didn't I check out my neighbor when he was ill and lonely? Answer = often I lack courage to face uncomfortable factors). Diane sounds like a human getting who genuinely loved one more, but couldn't uncover a way to express it. That's a standard human dilemma. Diane suffered a loss, she grieved, however mostly alone. I hope her embarrassment and regrets never stop her from dancing in her personal apartment. This story is about humanity in all its terrible beauty. The disgust and judgment in this comment section is also an unfortunate part of us.

As you can see from the skeptical faces, there were no takers this time around. The best time to try them is late fall when they're soft and juicy, so we'll try again next year!
Our pace slowed down a bit this week, as we put away the sleds--our hill was getting very fast! Instead, the kids enjoyed looking at snow with magnifying glasses, on the hunt for beautiful crystals. In the drizzly moments, we spent some time drawing, talking and relaxing in the tipi.
Four-footed critters is the forest...we are fortunate to have a game-camera near the tipi, and every so often can look through the pictures to see if it captured any visitors. We've seen tracks of raccoon, birds and deer, so far!
See you next week, wolf cubs!

Love this recipe! And it sure does seem like 2012 is already proving your projection right. Personally, I'm in the camp that believes that change is good, but then again I am also a person who believes that the change in our economy has the potential to bring about a resurgence in values, making the recession a good thing too. I too left my job in communications and although I do miss the paycheck, that is the only thing I do miss. Since leaving I have written a book, launched my blog, gone on several retreats and fallen in love and gotten married, so for me this is the decade of change. Plus now we have time to make delicious dishes like this one and truly savor each bite. Cheers!

Reel Time trivia winner hails from Buckley
Congratulations to Bill Dolson of Buckley who is this week's Reel Time Trivia winner.
The trivia question of the week was:
This year-round trout fishing 262-acre lake is planted with tens of thousands of trout, and is by far one of the most popular and productive fisheries in Pierce County.
The most popular way to catch trout is stillfishing with Berkley Power Bait off the public fishing dock located on the north end of the lake, and boaters seem to do best on the southern side.
The shallow areas in the south side of the lake produce good catches of bass and perch in the spring and summer. The county park has a boat ramp, and is a popular daytime use area for picnics goers and is located about 10 miles south of Tacoma and near a popular golf course.
The correct answer Dolson gave was Spanaway Lake.
"I started fishing as a kid with my dad and grand pop back in New Jersey (fishing for flounder and weakies) and have had a passion for it ever since," Dolson said. "Now, I love to take my 10 year old daughter, Marissa, fishing for trout."
"She enjoys fishing and usually catches the first fish," he said. "I believe it's important to introduce kids to fishing and outdoor activities, so they can appreciate what Washington has to offer. I also enjoy fishing for salmon on the Snohomish River with my brother in laws Greg and Joe. Fishing for Sockeye on Lake Washington is always a thrill, but we haven't been able to do that for awhile."
"I enjoy fishing for large and small mouth bass, rainbow trout, and salmon," Dolson said. "I usually fish at Kapowsin, Tapps, Steele, Ohop and Tanwax. I have a lot of memories at those lakes and they're close to home. I recently starting researching Spanaway for fishing so it's funny that was the answer to trivia question."
Dolson wins a nice outdoors prize.
This will be an ongoing weekly trivia contest where the winner who answers the question first will receive an outdoor prize that will range from books, Berkley bait, lures and other nifty items from the outdoors gunnysack.
The next trivia question will posted on Monday, Nov. 26. Winners are announced the following Friday.
Here are our rules for The Seattle Times contest.

Dr. Natalie Hahn, interviewing rural Nigerian woman about dawa dawa, a local food that was being enriched with soybeans.
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, IITA, Ibadan Nigeria. Artist, Dorothy Hayes, 1988. Detail.
Dr. Natalie Hahn received an honorary chieftaincy title by the Yoruba Nation as the Balogun Iyalaje, translated as the "women who brings empowerment to others". The title was awarded for her work with colleagues at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, IITA, in introducing new food crops, particularly soybeans, to thousands of rural women.
Greetings Dear Colleagues
As a fortunate Nebraskan with a 4-H and farm family background and a thirty-eight year career with the United Nations, primarily in Africa, I owe my home state a great deal with a rich heritage and privileged opportunities. On many occasions, my journalistic mother, Grayce Hahn Burney, and I visited many Nebraska schools and we found that most of the students had limited knowledge of world events, geography and cultures. The idea hit—an opportunity to provide information on global resources and fellowships for students and faculty throughout the state. Thus, the Malaika Foundation was founded in 1994. Malaika means "my angel" in Swahili, the primary language of Kenya and Tanzania.
During the past 26 years and in close collaboration with the Nebraska Department of Education, Malaika has assisted in organizing symposia, from Omaha to Scottsbluff on Bringing the World to Your Classroom, for approximately 3,800 teachers and students. Sixty-eight global fellowships have been awarded for travel to 28 countries on five continents with funding from Fund for Teachers, www.fundforteachers.org and Kenneth Morrison, an international agricultural entrepreneur from Hastings, NE. An African Celebration and Art Auction, Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, 2010, raised $100,000 for global fellowships and the Gala to Support Global Education, 2013, was organized by students in the College of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. African art, including paintings, carvings and masks were sold at both events with African music, fashion and food. The Malaika Foundation Board of Directors has provided excellent guidance with the leadership of chairman, Dr. Douglas Christensen, Emeritus Commissioner of Education-Nebraska. Malaika Ambassadors have been appointed in eight Nebraska Colleges and Universities and assist in acquainting fellow teachers and students of global travel and educational resources.
The Malaika focus has been enhanced with a shift in ensuring that Nebraska's history must also be understood and recognized. As Dr. Robert Manley, a Nebraska Historian and teacher of mine at the University of Nebraska, so wisely advised, "you must know Nebraska before you can know the world". Being a global ambassador requires an understanding of Nebraska heritage and family history.
In 2019 and 2020, sixty -one items of African and Central American art has been donated by Malaika to Nebraska colleges, universities and libraries and to honor outstanding global educators. In collaboration with the Metropolitan Community College, a North Omaha African Art Corridor is being organized.
Our goal is preparing Nebraska's students to be global citizens and ensuring the opportunity to experience other cultures while understanding and building upon Nebraska's heritage.
Natalie D. Hahn
Dr. Natalie Hahn is a native af Polk, Nebraska and now lives in Central City and Lincoln, Nebraska.
The Malaika Mission
The Malaika Mission is to build a greater understanding of peoples and countries throughout the world for Nebraska youth and enhance global education in Nebraska schools and communities.
Malaika is a Swahili word, the language of Kenya and Tanzania, and means "my angel". Note the famous Malaika song by the late South African singer, Miriam Mekaba.

As Dr. Manley encouraged, "In order to understand the world, you must also understand and appreciate your own heritage and history".

Infrastructure Industry Foundation seeking industry feedback
The Infrastructure Industry Foundation (IIF) was launched last year by UK fund manager Infracapital with the backing of a number of peers in the infrastructure industry with the vision of establishing a permanent cross-industry foundation.
Through annual events, the IIF aims to unite the industry in donating funds to worthy charitable causes close to the industry and providing a lasting legacy. The IIF is currently seeking feedback from the infrastructure finance industry about its future activities and fundraising efforts.
Infracapital's co-founders and heads, Ed Clarke and Martin Lennon, set up the charity following the diagnosis of one of their colleagues at Infracapital with a rare form of cancer, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC).
The foundation's inaugural event, which took place in 2019 at London's Science Museum, raised close to GBP 250,000 and was attended by around 400 people to support The Ella Project, which funds life-saving research into ACC.
The IIF is currently assessing ways forward with its fundraising efforts, and to this end recently sent letters to infrastructure organisations asking for their feedback on several related themes.
Firstly, the IIF is keen to find out if you are interested in joining the Foundation, membership of which is free of charge.
Secondly, the Foundation also wants to know if you are able to commit to taking a table at its next fundraising event at a cost of around GBP 5,000, which includes a donation. The event is due to take place at a venue in London in November or in early 2021, subject to social distancing rules and government guidance.
Thirdly, the IIF is inviting Foundation members to come forward with ideas for other charitable causes that the industry can rally behind.
Please go to the website for further details: https://infrafoundation.co.uk/the-event or get in touch directly at info@infrafoundation.co.uk.

The aim of this study is to investigate the context by which veterinary services may affect technical efficiency (TE) of Iranian dairy farms. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) was applied to a random sample of 840 dairy farms from six provinces across Iran to estimate regional frontier and metafrontier production functions and also to calculate corresponding TE of these farms. The relationship between the levels of veterinary services and TE scores were then examined using correlation analysis, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicated that mean technical efficiency estimated based on the regional frontier production function for selected provinces varies between 0.720 and 0.867 while ranges between 0.445 and 0.595 when evaluated based on the metafrontier production function. Also, our findings showed that veterinary services have a positive effect on TE scores. This implies that TE can be improved by utilizing higher levels of veterinary services. Furthermore, access to more suitable veterinary services was recognized to be a major determinant of technical operation as was the case in Tehran.

Charlotte Hornets GM Mitch Kupchak says the team plans to develop its young centers and grow a star
The Charlotte Hornets have been a surprise success this season, and the team's general manager Mitch Kupchak told reporters that they plan to develop their young centers and grow a star.
The Charlotte Hornets GM Mitch Kupchak says the team plans to develop its young centers and grow a star is a recent article from ESPN.com.
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Mitch Kupchak, the Charlotte Hornets' general manager, is well aware that the team has yet to find a long-term solution at center.
But he's not too concerned.
The goal, according to Kupchak, is to nurture the team's three young centers with the hopes of at least one of them blossoming into a star in the next several years.
The Hornets chose Kai Jones, a Texas native, 19th overall this year. In the second round of the 2020 draft, the club also chose Duke's Vernon Carey Jr. and Kentucky's Nick Richards as centers.
In a draft night deal with the Detroit Pistons, the Hornets acquired veteran center Mason Plumlee and the remaining two years and $16 million on his contract. While Kupchak said that Plumlee "would not be a terrible assumption" to start this season with guards LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier, as well as forwards Gordon Hayward and Miles Bridges, it's obvious that Plumlee is just a short-term solution.
"Our thinking process was to acquire a veteran under a fair deal and also give these young players a chance to develop a little bit," Kupchak said. "Perhaps a year from now, they'll be the people that we should've sought this year in free agency."
The Hornets effectively eliminated themselves from the market for free-agent centers like Richaun Holmes, Jarrett Allen, Daniel Theis, and Nerlens Noel by acquiring Plumlee before to free agency.
The Hornets didn't want to spend a lot of money on a center in free agency, according to Kupchak, since the solution might be right under his nose.
Carey and Richards had little play with the Hornets last season, but they were both successful with their G League club, the Greensboro Swarm. Carey recorded 16.0 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, while Richards averaged 17.0 points and 10.3 rebounds.
Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo were both unrestricted free agents as the Hornets entered free agency. Biyombo is still a free agent, while Zeller has signed with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Plumlee's selection on draft night was partially a "bird in hand" tactic for Kupchak, who didn't know whether the Hornets would be able to entice a top-tier center away from another club — or even be able to pay him if they wanted one.
"There are 30 teams in free agency, and there were a handful of centers available, but you have no idea where you rank," Kupchak said. "There's a lot of uncertainty going in because you don't know what the market will be like until free agency starts. We thought we got someone [Plumlee] who is a seasoned veteran on a solid financial deal with two years left on his contract."
Plumlee, according to Kupchak, is a "very selfless" player who can assist on both ends of the floor.
Last season, he came close to a double-double for the Pistons, averaging 10.4 points and a career-high 9.3 rebounds.
"When the opportunity to acquire Mason arose, we felt we had acquired a guy who can rebound the ball, provide some rim protection, and create some plays. He's excellent at passing the ball and getting guys engaged from the top of the key "Kupchak said.
The "hard lifting," according to Kupchak, is almost over, and he doesn't anticipate any more major changes this offseason.

How The Suicide Squad Finally Redeems Rick Flag


This week I have a very unusual free gift on my Thursday Throng author interview. Richie Earl, the author The Legend of Finndragon's Curse is not only offering a free ebook copy of his book to commenters on this blog, but he's also offering 10% of the book's royalties for the first year to one big winner on his blog tour. To find out more about how to enter both competitions just read the instructions at the end of the interview.
When I was younger I loved the stories from Enid Blyton, my favourites were the Magical Faraway Tree and the Famous Five adventures. Even today I'll quite happily pick up a copy of one them to flick through. The Legend of Finndragon's Curse has many of the same qualities as those books; it's a gripping adventure which would be ideal for younger but accomplished readers. The characters were all believable and the scrapes they found themselves in, although not of this world, had the ability to capture the imagination and draw you in. My only gripe about it was the over use of the word ding-bat, but then maybe that is more a reflection of my age than anything else. I enjoyed it so much though I'm now reading the second book too.
I'm a Registered Nurse who worked for a clinical trials organisation during the 90's. Whilst conducting a study into a new treatment for high blood pressure, one of the volunteers taking part told me of an unexpected and embarrassing side effect he was experiencing. I asked what he thought I could do about it, and gave him some advice. He then told me that each of the other five volunteers had the same side effect. Had I been wiser, I could have made my fortune by investing in the pharmaceutical company who had manufactured the drug. A couple of years later, the drug that I'd discovered, Viagra became a bestseller.
The strange thing is that both of these extracts are from the same review. So what did I learn? I think the main learning points for me are: I'm going in the right direction as a writer. However, I could do with being a little less descriptive at times, whilst maintaining the pace of the story.
The names of many of my characters are special to me, but none more so than my three protagonists, Emma, Megan and Scott. These characters are based on my own children, and have been bestowed with their middle names. The characters were born in nightly bedtime stories, before I listened to their advice and wrote The Legend of Finndragon's Curse.
I think Steve Martin would be ideal if he were younger, although I'm not sure he could pull off a Welsh Valleys accent. I'd like to say that Arnold Schwarzenegger would be needed for my body double during intimate scenes, but his 'twin' Danny Devito is probably more appropriate.
One thing that would have helped this process with book 1, would have been to seek the help and advice of beta readers. When I first heard the term mentioned, I had to Google it to find out what it meant. Then for Return to Finndragon's Den, I recruited 14 beta's, with eight giving regular feedback. Of course you could hire a professional editor if you have the budget, but I like the idea of beta readers. They don't just pick up on spelling and grammar, but also find flaws in the plot. Probably most importantly, they represent a cross-section of readers and can tell you whether they like it or not.
It would be easy to look at the success of other writers and envy their achievements, but that would be a negative way to look at things. I choose to use success stories as motivation and inspiration.
During the day I drink copious quantities of tea. But as I sit here, after midnight answering these questions, I find a bottle of red wine helps to lubricate the wheels of creativity.
Before committing the perfect murder, I would have found employment as an embalmer with a local undertaker. My victim would have been dismembered and frozen, and then body parts inserted into the abdominal cavities of corpses before cremation.
Richie has not one, but TWO competitions running. The first is for a free ebook copy of The Legend of Finndragon's Curse and you can enter that by leaving a comment at the end of this interview.
The second is to win 10% of his Amazon Kindle sales profits and to enter that competition you will need to visit his own website and follow the instructions you find there. It involves getting the answers to a series of questions that are posted in his first blog tour.
In August I'll pick a winner for the free ebook and let Richie know who it is and put you both in contact with each other.
Where can you find out more about Richie and buy his books?
The Legend of Finndragon's curse is available in Kindle format from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
I have always loved adventure stories of faraway places, and some of my best memories are of sitting with my two girls nestled about me as I read out loud Dumas or Heinlein or Stevenson.
As an author, for a brief moment you can transport families to amazing places.
I would love to read this book!. The interview was very interesting. I like his answers very much, particularly the first question's answer. Haha!. Thanks for the giveaway. Very unique giveaway indeed!
I find that all my Thursday Throng authors are intriguing in their own way, but I have to admit that this was definitely one of the most unusual interviews and giveways Naznine.
And the winner is … Bill. Congratulations and I'm sure your book will be winging it's way to you very shortly.
I must apologise to Linda, and to Bill for not sending out Bill's prize until now. There are several reasons why it's taken me so long, but no excuses. Nevertheless, I have just sent out copies of both books in the series, which I hope Bill receives and enjoys.

One morning this summer I paid a visit to the sole United Nations agency in London. The headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) sits on the southern bank of the Thames, a short distance upstream from the Houses of Parliament. As I approached, I saw that a ship's prow, sculpted in metal, was grafted like a nose to the ground floor of this otherwise bland building. Inside I met a dozen or so mostly female IMO translators. They were cheerful and chatty and better dressed than you might imagine for people who are often heard but rarely seen.

While the pumpkins are a plenty this fall and you are carving those Halloween jack-o-lanterns, keep the pulp and give your face a good rub! Your body will thank you for it. Why? Read on.
1. Anti-Aging: Pumpkin is more than a veggie for Halloween carving . . . it contains more than 100 beneficial nutrients, which are used in skin care to help reverse the signs of aging. Pumpkin is a rich source of anti-oxidants, vitamins and enzymes that act like alpha hydroxy acids (which have been proven to promote younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cell renewal and hydration in the windy, cooler autumn and winter months.
2. Skin Nourishment: Fresh and cooked pumpkin is loaded with Vitamin A, C, E and beta carotene. These essential nutrients absorb quickly and deeply into the skin for top notch nourishment. When used as a facial masque or peel, followed by a safe toner and moisturizer, skin gets an instant boost of vitamins, promoting a healthy, glowing appearance - without the extra calories!
3. Anti-Inflammatory: Pumpkin masques help acne prone skin. Inherent nutrients are naturally soothing and anti-inflammatory, helping skin recover from acne related damage.
Look for do-it-yourself pumpkin masque recipe here on our blog in the weeks to come.
Do you have any other ideas on how to use some of the over-abundance of pumpkins this fall? Let us know. Comment below.

Bengaluru FC part ways with centre-back Albert Serran
Rutvij Joshi
The versatile 36-year-old defender made 34 appearances in the past two seasons for the Blues in the ISL.
Indian Super League (ISL) outfit Bengaluru FC have announced the departure of their versatile defender Albert Serran after the completion of his contract. Serran joined the Bengaluru-based outfit in 2018 from Moroccon club Chabab Rif Al Hociema, initially for one season. His contract was later extended for one more year in 2019. He was a part of the squad that went on to claim their first ISL title in the 2018-19 season, defeating FC Goa in extra-time at the Mumbai Football Arena.
The official announcement of the departure was made by Bengaluru FC on Tuesday. "All of us at the BFC family would like to thank Albert Serran for his time at the club, and wish him good luck for everything that lies ahead. It was a pleasure having you wear the BFC blue, champion," the club wrote.

Bengaluru FC announced the departure of Albert Serran on Tuesday
36-year-old Albert Serran is the second departure from Bengaluru FC this week, after they terminated Brazilian midfielder Raphael Augusto's contract by mutual consent. The RCD Espanyol youth product registered one goal and one assist during his two-year stint with the Blues. He also brought defensive solidity under Carles Cuadrat, which resulted in BFC conceding the least number of goals (13) in the last edition of the ISL.

After the laboriously predictable and flat-out mean-spirited Golden Globe awards last Sunday, much credit needs to be given to the British Academy of Film and Television Awards (aka the British Oscars) for shaking things up a bit.
Predicting who will win a BAFTA is usually pretty easy: if you're British, you win. But in recent years, the BAFTAs have seen a subtle shift in the effect they have on the Oscars. In 2007, for example, Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose) and Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton) took home surprise BAFTAs, which remained the only major award they won before the Oscars.
It's pretty clear that The King's Speech will sweep most of the major BAFTAs this year, but just looking at some of the nominees, you've really got to appreciate BAFTAs lack of convention, deciding instead to color outside of the lines.
The King's Speech should enjoy this award, it's the only time it'll win Best Picture this season.
Nolan is a Brit, keep that in mind. It's between him and Hooper.
Bardem is a surprise, maybe Julia Roberts' constant nagging is working in his favor. Bardem, Bridges, Eisenberg and Franco should enjoy the free trip to London, because that's all they're getting out of this.
Perfect example of the BAFTA's audacity. We haven't seen Moore make the Best Actress shortlist anywhere. Likewise Rapace (I'm glad someone remembered her). But Steinfeld is the big shocker here. Widely considered to be a supporting performance, Steinfeld's BAFTA nomination could help shift her to the leading actress Oscar race. Either way, it's still a Bening/Portman showdown.
Postlethwaite got the sympathy vote, which I'm not complaining about, but Bale and Rush are the top contenders. Tough choice, but I imagine Bale will add this BAFTA to his increasing crowded mantel.
No Melissa Leo is interesting, as is Hershey nabbing Mila "Sweet Lips" Kunis' Black Swan spot. Carter is the safe bet here.
The BAFTAs will air Sunday Feb. 13 on BBC.

UNESCO may soon declare Yoga as Indian heritage
NG News Desk
UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova said that yoga is in the list of elements to be considered by the Intangible Heritage Committee for inscription on UNESCO's register.
Bokova told a newspaper that a lot of her friends have benefited both spiritually and physically by practicing yoga in difficult times. It is a unique living tradition of India."
The Indian mission said "Yoga is practiced by 250 million worldwide, including the three million in France. This art of right living was perfected and practiced in India thousands of years ago and the foundations of yoga philosophy were written down in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali in 200 AD".
Modi was instrumental in getting the United Nations to declare June 21 as the International Yoga Day which is endorsed by 175 members of the UN . He is also expected to unveil a portal on yoga in France on April 10, reported Times of India.
If selected, yoga will become the 31st intangible cultural heritage that has been listed from India so far with UNESCO.

More from the Independent on how the cold is due to Global Warming, demonstrating that greens seem to have brains with the ability to believe anything - Expect more extreme winters thanks to global warming, say scientists" "Recent harsh winters are not yet a pattern – but all signs point that way".
We have now had six days without any official sunspots. They are only a proxy for solar activity which can now be measured in more exact ways, but other measurements are also showing low activity. If the official temperature figures are believed then this low solar activity has had no effect, as 2010 will be the hottest ever. But if we assume that the people who control the figures are lying, then there is a possibility that we are entering a period that has not been seen before by modern man and where about 1,000 years from now, none of Britain will be habitable. A rather extreme solution to the problem of over population!!

You might be fooled into thinking that the Welsh MPs want to do drivers a favour, in fact under the present law the tolls have to be removed once a certain amount has been collected. That point is currently forecast to be about 2016/17. It should have been a lot earlier, but the Government has been pocketing millions as VAT.

Yesterday there were officially no sunspots (in recent years the practice has been to say there are sunspots even though they are too small to have been detected when sunspot counting started over 200 years ago). Not only have we had the deepest solar minimum for nearly a century, it looks as if the maximum will be very low. The difference in the output from the Sun between a minimum and a maximum should not in theory make any significant difference to Earth temperatures, but some AGW agnostics believe that it has very significant effects on the jet streams and thus the weather at certain latitudes.

The BBC looks on the bright side - "UN climate change talks in Cancun agree a deal".
Most countries, including the America, China, India, Russia, and Japan will ignore any agreement however binding it is supposed to be. The purpose of whatever piece of paper is signed and all the hype is to keep the religous greens happy and to gull the voters in countries like Britain that they are not the only ones who will be wearing hair shirts.
GISS have issed the "GLOBAL Land-Ocean Temperature Index" for November which shows that 2010 is still on track to be the hottest year ever. The figures for January to November show the Earth as being 0.66 degrees Celsius warmer that the base period of 1951 to 1980.
Apart from the caveats we normally give, we also point out that these temperature figures are changed by GISS not only for earlier months but going back to 1998 (the previous hottest year) and earlier. All these figures are worthless.
The Met Office summary for November admits that "mean temperatures for the month as a whole were typically 1.5 to 2.0 °C below the 1971-2000 average" - "November 2010".

The Express says that "it now appears likely that the perverse custom of putting the clocks back in late autumn will soon be abandoned".

(Arguably the MP removed in 1911 was not removed for lying as he was also judged to have been guilty of bribery and other corrupt election practices.) Perhaps it is not suprising that when the issue of real curbs on immigration comes up, nearly all MPs become invisible.
