Heide Goody and Iain Grant – Oddjobs 1 and Oddjobs 2: This time it's Personnel
I'm not even going to try to review these books without referencing Ben Aaronovich's Rivers of London series. I know I should review things on their own merits, but there is so much in common here that I just can't help but compare the two. For the most part the comparison is quite positive, Oddjobs has the same dry humour as the Rivers of London and that really works for me, there's a world weariness to the characters and story, but rather than be depressing and bring the book down, it raises it up. A spirit of "oh well, this is a mess, let's get on with it and see if we can have a laugh while sorting it out". The other similarity that jumped out at me is a complete grounding in the locality, where Aaronovich's London really felt like MY London, Goody and Grant's Birmingham seemed just as grounded to me, although I'm only an occasional visitor to Birmingham (my dad and some close friends live there). The concept and story are also fairly in line with Rivers of London, and also what little I've read of The Laundry series, opening up a huge world of potential dramatic and comedic storylines and characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed these two books. I can't say they were as funny as Aaronovich, but it tripped along and I really enjoyed spending the time with the characters. There's no obvious arc storyline, or 'big bad' but I like that the two books are more self contained and are giving us a chance to see lots of different bits of the world that they're building. The second book in particular did an admirable job presenting lots of smaller stories that gradually came together to a satisfying tangle. These are now definitely on my watch list for future releases.
L. Frank Baum – The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
This was written in 1900, and the film that everyone knows was made in 1939, with any number of versions, homages and parodies since, making the story completely ingrained. The book is really not very long, wasting absolutely no time on developing anything beyond the absolute minimum to hammer home the messages at its core. I was a bit disappointed that there was so little sense of wonder or magic to it. There's also a lot more violence and death in it that we'd usually expect in modern children's stories, but thanks to the light tone it seems a lot less substantial which is a bit odd when you notice it.
Lewis Carroll – Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Ticking off another classic. It's always a bit odd to finally read the originals of stories that you're incredibly familiar with, and I'm not sure it's ever going to be a hugely positive experience. There was little left of this that could be surprising, between the famous illustrations in the book itself and the Disney cartoon, I was intensely familiar with most of the episodes and characters that make up the story. In fact the only thing that was slightly surprising was just how irritating Alice is. The bits of the story don't really join up particularly well, it's just stepping from one weird dream sequence to another so it's hard to get any real momentum going.
T.J. Brown – The Unhappy Medium
I seemed to take an unreasonable dislike to this book fairly early on and I don't really know why. It was a little oversold in how hilarious it was, but there were still some nice moments of dry humour scattered throughout. The set up was a long time in development and had a few glaring inconsistencies, but was solid enough and once it finally arrived the plot itself was ok. Maybe it was just that it had raised my expectations by putting quotes like "A very funny book, in the spirit of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's Good Omens" on the front cover, a lofty height which it was unlikely to reach.
Emily Organ – Penny Green 1: Limelight
A fairly solid period set murder mystery. The characters are vibrant and interesting, the period detail nicely done and the case itself engaging. My only frustration came from the quality of the investigation which was painfully slow, no one actually asking the obvious questions or seeming to do much investigating at all. It's an ok book to churn through, but it's unlikely to stay with me and I'm not particularly likely to pick up further books in the series unless I'm looking for something incredibly low impact.

Wahlpolitischer Opportunismus der CPP
Quelle: ESSF … Schwesterpartei der Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP, nicht mit der ehemals pro-Moskau orientierten PKP-1930 zu verwechseln) in der BRD ist übrigens die MLPD:
Worse than a crime – The electoral politics of the NDF and the CPP in the Philippines
Alex de Jong, 20 January 2010
The year 2010 has only just begun but we might already know what's going to be the most unlikely election coalition of the year. The legal National-Democratic (ND) movement of the Philippines, politically aligned with the underground Maoist Communist Party of the Philippines, has made an alliance with multimillionaire Manuel 'Manny' Bamba Villar Jr. and indirectly with Marcos' admiring son, Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos jr.
When Manny Villar announced he would be running for president of the republic of the Philippines he immediately looked like a strong contender. After all, he is one of the richest men in the country – worth about 830 million dollar. His financial capital can buy a lot of political capital in a game still characterized by 'goons, guns and gold'. Alas, the first of Augustus 2009 Cory Aquino, still popular and fondly remembered as a symbol of democracy, died. From out of political obscurity her son, Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III, became a contender for the top position of the republic, officially announcing his candidacy on September 9. In the months after this announcement Aquino was leading in the polls.
Same old, same old
Satur Ocampo of the party-list Bayan Muna and Liza Maza of Gabriela Women's Party, both part of the National-Democratic coalition Makabayan or New Patriotic Alliance, had already been negotiating with Manny Villar for two spots for senatorial seats under his campaign banner. The rationale behind this alliance? The NDs say it's because of Villar's 'pro-poor' stance and program. As if there has ever been a presidential candidate that did not promise to fight poverty. But Villar, the NDs maintain, is different. The difference is not in Villar's political career and there's in fact very little reason to take Villar's commitment seriously. Like other politicians from the ruling elite, Villar has jumped from one party to the other during his career. In the nineties a member of Lakas – party of current president Gloriao Macapagal Arroyo – he later was a member of Estrada's coalition Laban ng Makabayang Masang Pilipino.
Estrada of course, was a wealthy man who styled himself as an outsider to the corrupt political circles of the Philippines. Just like Villar. And Estrada styled himself as a champion of the poor. Just like Villar. Their similarities and earlier alliance notwithstanding, as Speaker of the House of Representatives Villar presided over the impeachment of then-president Joseph Estrada just before 'Erap' was ousted by the People Power II uprising. A good politician knows when to leave a sinking ship…
After 2000 Villar was twice elected to the senate. In 2003 he left his days as an independent behind him and joined the Nacionalista Party (NP). The NP is the oldest party of the Philippines, originally founded as a vehicle for the illustrado elite collaborating with the 'benevolent assimilation' of the American colonial regime. In 2004 Villar became president of this party that is still supporting, despite her damaged credibility, the presidency of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. His record during the years? In 1992 Villar was the House representative in the government's negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington D.C. This was during the presidency of Fidel Ramos – the period that neoliberalism was anchored as the economic orthodoxy of the country. After the rocky years of Aquino's presidency, Ramos aimed to make the Philippines an attractive site for foreign capital. In the words of COURAGE (Confederation for Unity, Recognition and Advancement of Government Employees) trade-union it was during Ramos presidency that 'the country was opened to a complete control by foreign monopoly capital.' Under the banner 'Philippines 2000' Ramos propagated a neoliberal policy that he said would bring the country the status of Newly Industrialized Country by 2000. If anything, the country became a newly-deindustrialized country when a significant part of its production base killed was killed by international competition in the 'open' market propagated by the IMF. Villar was not just one of the many politicians that marched the Philippines economy into a hole. Villar was, according to his website, a 'key member' of the House's economic team, playing a crucial role in the liberalization of the banking system under president Ramos. With the help of both houses of the Philippine Congress, the Ramos government passed laws to implement liberalization, deregulation, and privatization. Villar supported Ramos' policies that included for example laws that permitted foreign investors a 100 procent ownership of local businesses and granted foreign off-shore banks access.
Is Villar's record only that of an champion of economic liberalism? Well, he also persuaded subdivision homeowners to open up their roads to the general public to ease traffic jams in Manila, designated Certain Areas in Las Piñas as Tourist Spots, led a dedicated tree-planting drive and organized the 'Manpower on Wheels' Program, a livelihood training school housed in a van that makes the rounds in poor areas. In over 15 year, about 5000 students graduated from this program. Token reforms are sometimes described as drops in the ocean. Considering the massive poverty in the Philippines, these three examples, listed as successes on Villar's website, are small drops indeed.
Whichever way the wind blows
Since the days of the Ramos presidency, Villar has changed tack somewhat. In a speech for University of the Philippines College of Business Administration Alumni in 2004 Villar stressed a 'nationalist perspective' against globalization's dismantling of trade barriers. But, this 'does not suggest at all that we must be overprotective of our own industries to the exclusion of foreign investors.' The next year, Villar would, together with Satur Ocampo and others, criticize IMF policy – while keeping mum about his own part in shackling the Philippine economy to the IMF. Nowadays, he supports bills providing micro-credit to struggling farmers and makes ads supporting free college education. These ads are part of media campaign that, according to conservative estimates, has cost 2 billion pesos since the third quarter of 2009.
The platform that Villar's now running on and that has enamored the NDs for their multimillionaire 'class enemy' is full of promises. Just like Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was full of pro-poor promises in the 2004 elections. In the nineties, Villar embraced neoliberalism, a policy that he started to criticize after it lost its legitimacy. Until a while ago, he supported 'GMA' – a president he started to criticize after she lost legitimacy. A good politician knows when to leave sinking ships…

Newport Harbor from the Lido Isle bridge at dusk.
Newport Beach City Council hit the pause button this week on the official effort to pursue legislation that proposes to establish Newport Harbor as a "port" and authorize the city to apply for a Port Master Plan.
Council voted 4-1 on Tuesday, with Councilman Scott Peotter dissenting. Mayor Marshall "Duffy" Duffield recused himself because of a business-related conflict and Councilman Jeff Herdman had to leave the meeting early.
The question is "What is right for our harbor?" Councilwoman Diane Dixon asked. There are a lot of unanswered questions and unknowns, she said.
"The concept, in my mind, still has merit – with a question mark – and I'm willing to give it further due diligence but I don't like doing it as we're trying to get through the legislative process," Dixon said.
Overall, the concept of local control and efficiency is a great idea, but this may not be the right vehicle to accomplish it, she added.
Dixon recommended they "pass" on the legislative process for now, but begin to set up a process that engages the community and includes public input to explore the best way forward. Keep the idea alive and regroup, she noted.
The Council's action comes after the California Coastal Commission voted 9-3 on April 12 to oppose Assembly Bill 1196, which proposed adding Newport Beach to the Coastal Act's list of communities allowed to have PMPs.
Coastal Legislative Director Sarah Christie explained CCC staff's position, primarily citing the precedent it might set, that it's more appropriate for the state to maintain oversight of their own tidelands, that it's a "dramatic seeding of the Commission's authority," and that this type of plan is not necessary for Newport.
"The problem is, quite simply and sort of obviously, is that the city of Newport Beach's municipal harbor is not a port," Christie said at the CCC meeting, causing some audience members to laugh.
Don Schmitz, a longtime California Coastal Commission consultant to the city, and Sean Henschel, the city's legislative advocate on the matter, updated the Council with a presentation on Tuesday.
After having some positive ex parte conversations with commissioners, then hearing the week before the Coastal meeting that CCC staff was going to recommend opposition and not having enough time to respond, they were "surprised" and felt "ambushed," Schmitz said.
It seems staff and several commissioners felt the move is an usurpation of their authority in their jurisdiction, Schmitz explained. He doesn't feel the Commission will change their position.
The bill could still pass in Sacramento, but the CCC's vote is weighty opposition. The Coastal Commission has a lot of pull and influence in the Senate Committee of Natural Resources and Water, where the bill now sits, Dixon commented.
"(But) at the end of the day, it's the legislature's call," Schmitz said.
Prior to the CCC vote, City Council on March 27 approved a professional services agreement not to exceed the amount of $120,000 with Schmitz and Associates, including work with Henschel Government Affairs, as part of the effort to authorize the city to develop and file a Port Master Plan.
Tuesday's action directs the city manager to terminate Schmitz's advocacy agreement for AB 1196, and to contact the bill's author, Assemblyman Matthew Harper, to inform his office that the city no longer intends to pursue the bill.
City watchdog Jim Mosher commented that, considering their costly contract, Schmitz and Henschel are motivated to continue the "comedy" act, referencing the audience laughing during the CCC meeting when staff questioned why Newport Beach might be considered a "port," whether it's good for Newport Beach or not.
The city is essentially paying to damage their delicate relationship with the Coastal Commission, he added.
Several other residents spoke during public comment, with all but one agreeing that the process should be halted and other routes need to be explored. Many noted questions, concerns, and unknowns surrounding the plan.
"As fiscal conservatives, you seem to be spending a lot of money in ways that the community does not agree with," Corona del Mar resident Joy Brenner said.
There needs to be more of an effort to involve the community and listen to the public opinion before moving projects along and spending money on them, she said.
"I'm just imploring you to bring us along before you spend our money," she said.
There are a lot of docks in disrepair, which is likely the result of excessive red tape, the process to obtain permits, and cost for the dock owners, Peotter explained. It can be very frustrating, he added.
They're not trying to "go against" the Coastal Commission, Peotter said, since every aspect of the plan has to be approved by the CCC. The permit process needs to be more efficient.
He added that the money already spent on the effort wasn't a waste because they have had an impact on the Coastal Commission. The CCC is willing to discuss the options the city is looking for, he added, which will be beneficial.
Councilman Brad Avery said it was "disappointing" that it hasn't worked out how they hoped.
"I wish we could do this," successfully, Avery said.
As difficult as it might be to let go, especially since they have spent time and money on the effort, but that doesn't mean they keep pushing forward with it.
Councilman Kevin Muldoon noted that he hears what the residents are saying and said they raise several legitimate concerns.
"I think there are just too many hurdles," Muldoon concluded.

Does your Estate Plan include a HIPAA Release?
If you already have health care documents or Advance Directives prepared, are you sure you have a HIPAA Release? Many Florida Estate Plans prepared several years ago may not contain the required HIPAA language.
Having Advance Directives in place is a critical part of Estate Planning. An Advance Directive is a legal document stating your directions and wishes as to your future medical and health care in the event you become unable to make those decisions yourself. Living Wills and Health Care Surrogate Designation are types of Advance Directives.
In conjunction with your Advance Directive, it is important to have a signed and witnessed document called a HIPAA Release form. Without this document, your health care providers may not legally be able to disclose critical medical information to the person you have chosen to make health care decisions for you, should you become incapacitated.
Visit the Flammia Elder Law Firm's Family Education Center to access FREE videos and other helpful information. You can also learn more about HIPAA by attending one of our Free Live Workshops.
If you are looking for a lawyer to prepare your estate, you will not find one more thorough, more thoughtful or kind than Kathleen Flammia. We felt we were in such capable hands and she sensitively addressed issues we would not have thought of ourselves. Her response was rapid and her staff were also excellent about follow-up and communication. If there was a sixth star on the rating scale, we would give it!
5 Star Google Review – D.B.
To discuss a Health Care Surrogate Designation, Living Will, or Advance Directive, contact us today.
HIPAA is an acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA is a federal law that limits who can view your medical information.
How does a HIPAA Release affect an Estate Plan?
HIPAA regulations affect your Living Will, your Health Care Surrogate, and certain Powers of Attorney and Trusts—where access to medical and health care information may be required. HIPAA actually limits everyone's access to your medical records, even your spouse, your parents, and your children.
Without question, your Estate Planning documents need to include a HIPAA Release. As part of your comprehensive Estate Plan, the Flammia Elder Law Firm will incorporate all necessary HIPAA authorization and release documentation required to ensure that your designated family members or health care agents will be able to access your medical records.
How can I make sure that my current Estate Plan includes the right HIPAA release?
A consultation with the Flammia Elder Law Firm will ease your mind. We would be happy to review your documents in order to make certain the proper authorization and releases are in good order.

Really? Raleigh News 'Reports' on Pastor's Sexual Misconduct with Child By Proclaiming His Innocence
By: Tamar Auber
This weekend, Dalvis Steve Conerly was arrested in North Carolina for two counts of sexual misconduct with a 12-year-old girl. The pastor of New Beginnings Fellowship, police say that Conerly knew the girl, but was not in a position of trust or authority over the girl at the time of the alleged incidents.
Yet, while much has not been revealed about the case, several Raleigh media outlets managed to stick to the facts when reporting Conerly's Saturday arrest, noting Conerly was currently being held in lieu of $50,000 bail and that the police warrant only stated that he "did take and attempted to take indecent liberties," the legalese for acts that are deemed "for the purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire."
Local station WRAL, however, took a different tack when covering the pastor's alleged sexual abuse of a minor, choosing publish a quote calling the child-victim a liar and focusing their reporting on a proclamation of the pastor's innocence by a friend over the potential consequences of the misdeed.
"The charges just don't sound right to musician Bruce James," the story begins. James, who played the music at the pastor's home-based church, is then quoted as denying that it is even possible that Conerly would do such a thing.
"It is definitely not in the realm of belief," James said according to WRAL's account. "They were good people."
After listing a few facts about Conerly easily found via a Google search, as well as mentioning that Conerly and the girl "knew each other," WRAL's story then returns to James' testimony and his claims this is all "a huge mistake."
"He is the same type of person he is away from the pulpit as he is behind the pulpit," James said.
The article concludes by quoting James, who once again states his friend is innocent and blames the child-victim for making the whole thing up. "I think we have all had that happen to us at some point or another in their life. Someone tries to make us look like something we are not."

The enrollment to the Master's program at GSE Nazarbayev University provided me new impulse in my professional life. Undoubtedly, it gave me the opportunity and chance to be more than 'ordinary' person it brought me the responsibility, such as deadlines in the different courses and of course the experience of writing my thesis. The process of writing is quite challenging when you have other responsibility, such as daily work and family. It is more difficult if you never experienced conducting research in a new high level. But, I realized that more writing and reading about my mini-thesis, more I become to be 'not bad researcher'. Here, I would like to say huge appreciation to our instructors and professors for their support.
In this post I would like to share my personal challenges of writing my methodology and data collection sections in my mini-thesis. The purpose of my mini-thesis was to clarify losing motivation of students to learning in online learning environments. I thought a lot in order to identify which research method is appropriate then after spending many times of reading I decided to explore the topic through qualitative research design. My literature review demonstrated that there are different reasons of losing motivation of students to learning in online learning environments, such as challenging in time management (Clark-Ibáñez & Scott, 2008), lack of community, difficulty understanding instructional goals, and technical problems (Singleton et al., 2004), personal interest, external and internal motivation, and conversation of information into knowledge and depth of learning process to recognize how to amount student motivation (Knowles & Kerkman, 2007).
Those literatures helped me identify my research method. The research was conducted through the qualitative research design, particular semi-structured interview. Nohl (2009) indicates that semi-structured interviews allow not only for assessing the participants' opinions, statements and convictions, they also allow to elicit narratives about their personal experiences.
But, I understood that it is not so easy to conduct the interview. Fortunately, that is not my first experience that is why my previous knowledge helped me to manage and conduct the interview procedure. However, I can definitely say that I am not good interviewer, that I need more practice and training to do it again. My challenge was the preparation to the interview itself, it means that arranges all documents, creating the specific questions and prepares yourself in psychological side. Another obstacle was to find out specific time to prepare for the interview itself because my intensive session at the university and busy daily work. The last problem was do not forget my questions and record all the answers of my respondents.
Nevertheless, I believe that what we do it is extremely necessary actions towards to be ready in the thesis writing. My big lesson was that the more I practice the more I become a professional researcher. I hope that I will able to analyze all data what I have now and in proper way to illustrate in the result section.

The Equipment and Tool Institute Supports Industry Adoption of R1234yf
The Equipment and Tool Institute (ETI) announced today its continued support for the adoption of R1234yf by automobile manufacturers to meet the global requirements for more environmentally-friendly refrigerants.
R1234yf has been extensively tested over a six-year period using industry-accepted scientific methods by various industry organizations, independent laboratories, and a consortium of 15 global vehicle manufacturers organized by SAE in a Cooperative Research Program (CRP). At the conclusion of this process, all of the participants expressed their satisfaction with the performance, risk assessment, and safety of R1234yf.
Recently, one automobile manufacturer announced that it had reversed its position and would not install R1234yf in vehicles that it produces, citing reasons inconsistent with the conclusions reached during the industry-wide development and testing, of which they were an active participant. ETI is extremely disappointed with this independent change of direction. Charlie Gorman, ETI Executive Manager, stated, "We are very concerned about the long-term impact on the tool and equipment industry if these kind of independent decisions occur. If industry testing, validation, and consensus can be ignored, it will make it very difficult for our member companies to dedicate the necessary engineering and financial resources for projects such as this in the future. Industry–wide cooperation, where appropriate, has always been a cornerstone of the automotive industry, and we continue to fully support this approach."

While granola-lovers are common characters in this town, Boulder appeals to a much broader public with its thriving arts scene, trendy shops, bubbling breweries and cozy cafes. Hikers can stretch their legs along the Boulder Creek Path or on the trail to the Flatirons, while more leisurely strollers can get their exercise while perusing the shops at the Pearl Street Mall. And like most college towns, Boulder boasts a bevy of bars and brewpubs (many located near the University of Colorado) coming to life once the sun sets.
Get outside Boulder is surrounded by more than 31,000 acres of recreational parks and nature preserves. You would be remiss if you didn't spend some time in the great outdoors.
Don't forget a jacket Weather can be fickle no matter the season. And if you're planning to spend some time in the Rockies, you should note that mountain temperatures are generally 15 to 20 degrees cooler than in town.
Come hungry Boulder's young, hip vibe is a draw for budding restaurateurs. The city overflows with trendy eateries serving everything from bulging burritos to gourmet organic cuisine.
Two wheels are better than four Renting a bike is often much cheaper than renting a car. Plus, you won't have to worry about finding (or paying for) parking. You'll find a variety of bike rental companies in and around the Pearl Street Mall.
Lay your head in Denver Boulder's hotel options are limited, so you'll have a better shot finding budget-friendly room rates in nearby Denver. Public transportation makes it easy to travel between the two towns.
Satisfy your appetite on University Hill Most of the restaurants in this area cater to a student budget, so you're bound to find some cheap eats here. You can also save on midday meals by picking up some fresh local ingredients at the farmers market and going the picnic route.
Boulder excels at offering an active vacation full of calorie-burning activities. Luckily, it also excels at providing visitors plenty of delicious ways to refuel after a day tackling the mountains. Once dubbed "America's Foodiest Town" by Bon Appétit Magazine, Boulder boasts an award-winning dining scene helmed by James Beard Award winners, along with "Top Chef" and Food Network contestants. True to the city's nature-obsessed ethos, many of the restaurants in Boulder plate farm-to-table cuisine (Blackbelly Market is a favorite), and it's a label you'll likely see many eateries around town proudly sport. Vegans, vegetarians and those on a gluten-free diet, rejoice! Boulder also knows how to cater to your dietary restrictions (Shine Restaurant & Gathering Place, in particular).
To start your day, head to The Buff Restaurant, one of the most popular breakfast spots in the city. If you're looking for a more eclectic menu, head to the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse. An attraction in itself, the ornate teahouse was originally built in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, as a gift to its sister city, Boulder. It was sent to the city as a symbol of friendship and cultural exploration. On the hunt for cheap eats? Start your search near the University of Colorado Boulder campus, which caters to a student budget (The Sink is a favorite for its burgers).
If your taste buds and your wallet are ready for something a bit more upscale, Pizzeria Locale, the next door Frasca Food & Wine and Mediterranean Restaurant are all high up on local foodies' lists.

Best Sleep Gear to Shift Your Internal Clock and Become a Morning Person
by Ashley Mateo
If, like Batman baddie Bane, you feel most in your element in darkness, early risers can seem insufferable with their morning perkiness. But science suggests there are big benefits to finessing your internal clock and making the switch. With the right sleep gear, you can trigger a circadian reboot. More on this in a minute; but first, let's delve into why you should care.
Those who are early to bed and early to rise are at reduced risk for major depression, per a 2021 study published in JAMA Psychiatry.
The researchers admit they haven't nailed exactly why being a morning person is associated with better mental health, but one reason may be night owls' lack of exposure to natural morning light, says Kristen Knutson, an associate professor at Northwestern University, who studies the association between sleep, circadian rhythms and cardiometabolic diseases.
Light promotes the production of chemicals in the brain that affect mood, but "morning light levels are particularly important for synchronizing our internal clocks," Knutson explains. Every tissue in your body contains tiny biological clocks that react to external stimuli based on Earth's 24-hour cycle. "Our thinking is that these circadian rhythms evolved to allow us to anticipate when to be active and when to sleep," she explains. "If you're not doing those behaviors at the anticipated time, there's the potential for deleterious outcomes."
What Every Athlete Needs to Know About Sleep and Recovery
Knutson's own research, published in 2018 in Chronobiology International, found that early risers had a 10 percent decreased risk of dying from any cause compared to night owls; older studies linked a tendency to wake earlier with higher self-reported happiness and more proactive behaviors, like exercising.
That doesn't mean you're doomed if you like to stay up late, says Knutson. But "the problem comes when a night owl has to live in a morning person's world." If your circadian rhythm doesn't match up with societal expectations (e.g., a 9-to-5 job), you have to be more diligent about avoiding other not-so-great health behaviors, like eating late at night, consuming too much caffeine and not getting enough sleep.
You might be genetically predisposed to function better in the morning or evening, says Knutson, but it is possible to change. People who became earlier risers reported being happier and less stressed, found a 2019 study published in the Journal of Sleep Medicine. If you're ready to embrace the a.m., these products can help you fall asleep faster, sleep sounder and wake easier.

28 November 2022: A song and gossip; An unmourned murder; Vox in Pv; German failings; China on the edge?; & Other stuff
Awake, for morning in the bowl of night has flung the stone that puts the stars to flight.
And, lo, has caught the sultan's turret In a noose of light!
All you need to know about the (wordless) Spanish national anthem.
For those interested in royal gossip, the latest podcast from Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn/Larsen is now out. With tidbits about 'drooling sycophants' and the ex-king's fondness for fake Xmases.
One of those Spanish headlines I treasure: They killed El Malaguita next to a witchcraft altar in a drug den. I think we can correctly guess his profession and why he was knocked off.
Here in Pv city, this was a stand I saw in the centre yesterday.
It was for those who wanted to know more about the execrable Vox party. The slogan says Afraid of nothing and no-one. In contrast, most of us are terrified of them and what they'd do if they got into power.
I often advise newcomers to Spain: The Spanish don't have plans; only intentions. So, I'm wondering if I should sign up for a trip to Portugal set up for next Monday, during one of Spain's many puentes . . . . On the plus side, a hotel has already been booked by 2 of the group. A good sign.
Scotland again . . . Effie Deans addresses Nicola Sturgeon here. This should be read by all who think the break-up of the UK is inevitable. A very relevant sentence:Scotland is called a country but it is not an independent sovereign nation state and cannot suppose that it has the rights of one. I suppose one must say the same of The Basque Country. And Cataluña. The next 2 sentences are also very relevant: The UK is a unitary state with devolution and it has the same right to territorial integrity as Scotland would have if it were independent. The fact that the parts of the UK are called countries and play international football is quite immaterial.
A fluent German speaker and 'friend of the country' – Ian Dale – feels that: Germany's Putin appeasement still shames Europe. And that: Even now, the country's political elite is attempting to justify its scandalous approach to the Kremlin. Despite Boris Johnson's loose relationship with the truth, he adds, this time he's surely right. Germany should never be allowed to escape the shame it ought to feel over both its reaction to the Ukraine crisis and its policy in the previous decade of cosying up to Vladimir Putin in order to suck on the teat of cheap Russian energy supplies.
Quite possibly optimistically, one commentator says of the riots there:This could be the beginning of the end for Xi Jinping. Only a month after China's leader consolidated his rule, the country's citizens may have reached a tipping point due to draconian lockdowns. I expect, with confidence, Mr Xi will react ever more severely to the threat of revolution. What other options does a (still breathing) autocrat have? Witness Putin in Russia, for one.
You couldn't make it up . . . A Cambridge University college dean has been accused of heresy after backing a sermon that suggested Jesus Christ had a "trans body". He said such a view was "legitimate" after congregation members were left "in tears" by a sermon at evensong. The address at the chapel was delivered by a junior research fellow, who supported his claim by showing 3 medieval and renaissance paintings of the Crucifixion, depicting a side wound that he likened to a vagina. How our grandchildren will laugh.
More seriously, below is a review of a program I was glad I'd decided to watch last night. Enough to make you cry, not laugh.
Did You Know?.
The majority of Brits – 56% – don't use the Oxford comma. 25% do but the remaining 19% don't know what it is. Which is this. I do and I don't, depending on whether it's necessary for clarity.

Simon Schama's History of Now review — this rage against apathy was personal for Schama
Now feels like a pretty good time for the BBC to broadcast Simon Schama's History of Now. "Now" is when we have Vladimir Putin peddling lies to justify his vicious war on Ukraine, when Alex Jones can foully claim that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax, when not long ago Donald Trump's aide used the phrase "alternative facts", about which people sniggered (ho, ho, ho — what's he like?) but is straight-up Orwellian.
Schama reminded us, using the world's recent past, how political disinformation helps to destroy democracy and erase truth (try finding history books in China about the Tiananmen Square massacre). He was in no mood for pussyfooting. For Schama, 77, this was personal and emotional because he has lived a lot of this history, as have many of his viewers.
He said that he was born in February 1945 during the Nazi rocket attacks on London, and stood on a balcony in Prague recalling how he wept in front of the television during the Velvet Revolution in 1989, which ended communist rule in Czechoslovakia, because he had thought it would never happen.
His voice cracked again as he told his camera crew: "Between us, you know, that's why I'm so upset about what's happening right now with Ukraine. We cannot afford the liquidation of democracy . . . or else we'll all be sunk back into a life of lies again.
The despair hung on his face as he recalled those people who say that Putin and Ukraine are "none of our business", that it's "just the way of the world". People should be taking notice, getting angry, not just buying "a new pair of sneakers and [getting] on a plane to Ibiza," he said. "I'm an old man. I don't want to die with the world selling its soul down that particular crummy river." It was a quiet rage against apathy and taking freedom for granted. They kept this apparently unscripted aside in, presumably because it was one of the best bits.
When Schama is on form, there is no guide quite like him to serenade the viewer through history, even though he did use the phrase "speak truth to power", which is becoming as tiresomely ubiquitous as "Keep Calm and Carry On". He was eloquent explaining how at times of crisis it is not always politicians but artists, writers and musicians who are the true agents of change. Pablo Picasso's Guernica and Ai Weiwei's installation featuring 200 tonnes of mangled rods to signify the student deaths caused by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake were cited as examples.
So was George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, written after he witnessed the totalitarian lies told by General Franco's military during the Spanish Civil War. But also the very brave Nadya Tolokonnikova, a Russian political activist and founding member of Pussy Riot, who served two years' hard labour in a penal colony. She credited reading Vaclav Havel's The Power of the Powerless for getting her through the ordeal. "Art can save people's lives," she said.
More time could have been spent with Ai, whose studios were destroyed by the state, so much do they fear his art; he said the world is now like the Titanic drifting towards an iceberg. But it was a fine episode and one that should be required viewing for all the fake news and conspiracy theory hawkers. But they probably won't watch it because it was on the "mainstream media".

Your body has two circulatory systems, one of them is your bloodstream and the other is your lymph system. It runs throughout your body, and has two pathways, one deep and one superficial. Lymph fluid itself is clear and colorless. It contains white blood cells that bathe your tissues in nutrients and drains them of toxins. Your lymphatic system fights against infections as it courses through its pathways draining into your bloodstream.
Developed by Dr. Bruno Chikly (MD/DO), Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a light, gentle touch therapy. The therapist uses this very precise technique to help reduce inflammation, swelling, and congestion. The purpose is to help flush stagnant lymph fluid out of your body. Draining lymph will help to re-route the flow around scars, adhesions or damaged/missing lymph nodes. This helps your body eliminate toxins and allows the proper nutrients to circulate aiding in recovery. It is very useful after accidents, surgeries and illness. In addition it is helpful for acute pain, scars, restrictions and adhesions in the tissues (fascia).
Fascia is the sticky web that binds us, it wraps around and goes through every cell in your body. When fascia is healthy, it is pliable and fluid, allowing your body to function properly thereby giving you the shape and definition you crave. When fascia is unhealthy, it can become bound, compressing not only nerves and blood vessels but also chunks of flesh and fat. This can cause dents and ripples in your body. Aside from being aesthetically unpleasant, bound fascia can also reduce your range of motion and cause lymphatic flow to be stagnant. Bound fascia can increase inflammation, sensitivity and cause pain, making it more difficult for you to lose fat and gain definition.
Fascial adhesions (tangles in the fiber) are often caused by accidents, surgery or tightness brought on by repetitive movement. These adhesions sometimes create a "traffic jam" underneath, making it difficult for the superficial lymphatic flow to work properly. As a result, you may notice tight areas that are very sensitive or ticklish and can't handle much pressure. Having damaged fascia may cause you to be reluctant to have that area worked on during massage.
This is where Lymphatic Drainage Therapy and lympho-fascial release techniques will work wonders to painlessly restore proper circulation and movement to your body.
Alexandra's background in massage is mainly clinical and therapeutic. Due to having worked in rehabilitation and physical therapy, her approach is very specific and delicate. One of the biggest challenges she had in working with patients who had suffered a trauma (motor vehicle accidents, multiple surgeries, joint replacements etc.) is something called guarding or body armor. This is how your body attempts to cope with the injury by forming a protective barrier around it. Sometimes this leads to the nerves and blood vessels being restricted and causing elevated levels of sensitivity as a result. Other times there is a dis-connect between what your mind perceives and what the body is feeling and these areas will be numb. Unfortunately, in either case there are restriction in movement and circulation which slows down recovery.
She was able to use Lymphatic Drainage Therapy to reduce the inflammation and sensitivity successfully in these patients but that still left the adhesions in the fascia. That's when discovered an effective way to release these restrictions PAINLESSLY. By integrating various techniques, along with the GENTLE application of a commercially used tool, known as the FasciaBlaster. When Alexandra employs the use of the FasciaBlaster in combination with LDT, she is able to have the most therapeutic impact.

Wabamun Lake, AB - Justin Trimm
My Watermark is Wabamun Lake, Alberta.
It's the weekend, getting together with a few friends here, (and) heading up to Moonlight Bay off of Wabamun Lake. We went up there targeting Walleye and Northern Pike. I like to go to Wabamun because it's a trophy lake, so it's all catch and release, and there is big fish up there. The bonus with that is that if you're a weekend warrior like myself, it's only 40 minutes from Edmonton.
It's a good lake to bring the family out: there's swimming, boating, and paddle boarding. It's just a very good recreational spot. It's not always if you catch a fish, it's the scenery you get to see as well. You go to the remote spots where not a lot of people are, you'll find big fish, you'll create wicked memories, it's just a good time guaranteed.

Prince Charles writes letter in support of 'vital service' provided by local newspapers
By Sam Forsdick Twitter
Prince Charles has shown his support for local newspapers, saying they "provide a vital service which is as important now as it has ever been".
He made the comments in a letter to marketing service Local Media Works, an arm of the News Media Association, following its Local Newspaper Week campaign this month.
The Prince of Wales singled out the Aberdeen Press and Journal, the John O'Groats Journal, and the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard as newspapers he has "enjoyed keeping in touch with".
"These papers, and hundreds like them around the country, highlight so many of the important aspects of local community life in a way that no other media could hope to do," he said.
"There are countless examples of local newspapers acting as powerful and effective champions for their communities, and very often it is the local media that are first to a story and who stay with it long after the national media have moved on.
"Local journalism is about giving communities a voice and empowering people with the knowledge to make informed decisions.
"Sometimes, a good local newspaper communicates the aspirations or concerns of the local community to a wider audience, putting local issues on the national agenda."
John Wilson, editor of the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard, was happy to receive the recognition from the future King.
Wilson told Press Gazette: "We were delighted and proud that the Prince of Wales singled us out as an example of a local newspaper doing an important job.
"Crucially, he made the point that papers like ours cover local life in a way that no other media can hope to do.
"He is, of course, well placed to judge the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard, because it is his local paper and website. His home at Highgrove, near Tetbury, is in our patch.
"I only wish more high-profile figures like the Prince would speak up for the local press, rather than try to run it down."
Local Media Week marked its 20th anniversary this year. The annual campaign, run by Local Media Works, celebrates the work done by local newspapers and their journalists.
Regional papers have struggled against declining circulation and ad revenue, with Press Gazette research showing 40 local newspapers closed last year alone.
However, the Prince of Wales seemed optimistic about the future of local news.
He continued in his letter: "In a rapidly changing media landscape, the advent of digital media has transformed the way we consume our news.
"Despite this rapid change, I am very encouraged by the evidence that suggests that local journalism is adapting well and remains in robust health with audience numbers remaining strong across print and digital platforms."
He added: "The importance of trusted media sources cannot be under-estimated in the era of so called 'fake news' and misinformation."
Wilson was similarly confident and said: "Disregard the jibes of the doom-mongers – we remain a profitable industry with deep roots in our communities and high levels of trust among readers and advertisers.
"Local journalism is thriving and grasping the opportunities offered by the digital revolution, and I thank the Prince for highlighting that fact."
Last week, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall attended a reception at Tate Britain celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Press Association news agency.

F. Harvey says:
"The importance of trusted media sources cannot be under-estimated…" He probably means either it cannot be OVER-estimated or it SHOULD not be under-estimated.
And the salient criterion is not whether papers are trusted, but whether they are trustworthy. Murderer Dr Harold Shipman was widely trusted, as is lying, serial-promise-breaking Bristol Post editor Mike Norton.

Tribal Pride Suquamish Culture Weaves Through Daily Life
Sun | Features
By Christopher Kornelis, ckornelis@kitsapsun.com — Nov 27th, 2005

Kiana Lodge manager Jay Mills, a Suquamish Tribe member, left, and lodge employee Dallas Wilson flip a rack of chinook salmon being smoked for a community gathering at the Kiana Lodge. James Branaman | Kitsap Sun
Suquamish Tribe member Bear stands beneath the spirit tree in his backyard, recounting a story of how the sound of thunder assured him he had made a correct decision. James Branaman | Kitsap Sun
Marilyn Jones, director of the Suquamish Museum, hears some questions over and over. School children who tour the popular museum in North Kitsap and some adults ask, "Do you drive cars?", "Will you sing a song for us?", and even, "Do you know how to use a computer?"
"People still to this day say things that are stereotypes," Jones said, "or just assume that we haven't evolved at all."
The culture of the Suquamish people was nearly annihilated through generations of repression and bigotry. In mandatory boarding schools, children were forced to forget their language and ways, even as disease took a toll on Native American populations.
Jim Pratt, a tribal elder, said his native upbringing stopped when he started school. He quit speaking the native Lushootseed, learned English, and his family never encouraged him to retain his cultural identity.
"My grandmother was pretty strict. She wouldn't allow it," he said of practicing the culture. "She had that fear."
Only in recent decades has the tribe taken steps toward reclaiming its identity, even as it keeps pace with contemporary life.
The culture of the tribe — which claims to have inhabited the West Sound region for more than 15,000 years — is usually showcased only for high-profile events like Chief Seattle Days. But daily Suquamish life is interwoven with links to the past.
True, the Suquamish no longer rely on canoes for transportation; nor do they rely on the Hood Canal for food. On ordinary, non-festival days, it may appear that the people have abandoned their distinctive culture. But even as tribal members like Nancy Sigo have adapted to the 21st century, their culture has persevered in the form of family values and a rekindling of interest in the ways of their elders.
"We are the culture," Sigo said. "We're living the culture by exchanging and doing with family always."
Sigo's 1950s upbringing was defined largely by weekends spent with her entire family processing food, traditionally an important part of the culture. She no longer needs to smoke salmon and process clams, but her family still practices what she says is the most important aspect of those familiar weekends: Togetherness.
There is no conspicuous proof that Suquamish people's lives are different from those of other North Kitsap residents. Nor is there a rigid standard in the tribe for celebrating one's cultural heritage.
Bear — the name he uses to sign his checks — is a Vietnam veteran and Suquamish tribal member. He was adopted as a child and raised in a family that did not embrace his culture. He raised his own family in the Mormon church. But since returning to Suquamish, Bear has been getting in touch with his native heritage. He has made strides in speaking the language and crafting baskets.
"When you have the opportunity to practice," Bear said, "then you practice our ways."
Bear also has become highly spiritual. He frequently visits the cedar tree behind his house, a stone's throw from Chief Sealth's grave. Cedars are sacred to the Suquamish, Bear said. When he's tired or confused, he talks to the tree touching it, hugging it and getting in touch, with "that thing that flows through all."
Much of Suquamish culture was lost as a result of government-run boarding schools, which were mandatory for all native children between the 1880s and 1920s. The schools are widely held to be responsible for the disconnection between the tribe and its collective past.
Children were taken away from their parents' homes and placed in boarding schools that government officials hoped would integrate them into "mainstream" culture. They were not allowed to wear traditional dress, engage in Suquamish dances or speak Lushootseed.
Since Suquamish history was passed down orally, many of the stories and traditions were lost when children were separated from their parents and the tribe.
Students who attended the schools lost the skills to raise their own children in the traditional Suquamish way. Sigo's grandparents, who attended the Cushman Indian School on the Puyallup Reservation, sent her parents to the Chemawa Indian School in Oregon, even though it was not then mandated by the government. Her grandparents, she said, didn't know how to be parents because they had never seen it done before, further cause for disconnect from the past.
"We always had a meat, a vegetable and a potato at every meal," Sigo said, "because that is what they learned at Chemawa."
Sigo was the first person in her family to attend the traditional public school system, which she said was like going to a foreign country. Her parents, she said, were too ashamed to tell her about the hardships they had been through.
A generation of Suquamish who had brushes with Indian agents — non-natives charged with enforcing federal law on the reservations — or those who remember stories of settlers, were set on keeping the culture quiet.
But in 1989, a catalyst for change came when the tribe participated in the Paddle To Seattle canoe journey, which renewed interest among the Suquamish to bring back aspects of the canoe culture. It was at that canoe pull, tribal member John Jones said, that the tribe's songs and dances began to come back to the people. By that, he means the ancestors and the creator passed the songs to the tribe through a member.
Jones, who became interested in the canoe culture in 2000, had a song come to him while he was carving a cedar canoe. The song is a journey song about traveling together as one. Jones and Pratt and other tribal members, sing this and other songs when they gather with area youth for the Suquamish Canoe Family Song and Dance Group.
The Lushootseed language, too, is beginning to see renewed interest within the Suquamish. The tribe offers language lessons, as well as song and dance classes at the reservation's education center.
"Some of the kids around here ... they want to learn the language," he said. "That's a form of acquiring your true identity."
Toni Jones is an instructor of the language class, attended by tribe members ranging from toddlers through elders. Learning Lushootseed, she said, is a difference experience for Suquamish people than learning a language as a pre-requisite for college. Lushootseed — virtually wiped out by the boarding schools — is critical to re-introducing traditional culture to the Suquamish.
"It's classes that the tribe has put on because once you learn the language you begin to understand the culture at a much deeper level," Toni said. "It's a deeper understanding of who you are."

Damien Sin wrote ghost and horror stories. He is/was a writer from Singapore. He was a writer that had ties with Flame of the Forest book Publishing company.
While reading book 22 of True Singapore Ghost Stories, the author Russell Lee himself stated that Damien Sin passed on. He did not say pass away. But it could mean that. Russell also said "Goodbye" and featured one of Damien's stories. So has Damien passed away??
True Singapore Ghost Stories is a series of books that feature a compilation of (supposedly) true ghost stories submitted by real-life people.

Ricky "Atura" Lugo is a Coach for Excelerate Gaming.
Atura broke out into the scene with the first two 2000 Series tournaments of the World War II season. His team was knocked out by OpTic Gaming in both of the brackets. Atura, along with Stumpfy, JHaZe, and Parzelion were signed by EZG eSports and placed Top 48 at CWL Dallas Open, the first event of the season. But the team made improvements and grinded their way through the open bracket at the CWL New Orleans Open and placed Top 24 after losing to Lightning Pandas in the first round of the championship bracket. The team placed Top 4 in the first stage of the Canadian National Circuit and second in the second stage with Lurid filling in for JHaZe to meet nationality requirements in both. Along the way, the team placed Top 48 at the CWL Atlanta Open and Top 40 at the CWL Birmingham Open. Following these events, EZG split into EZG.Blue and EZG.Red for the CWL Pro League Relegation Qualifier. His team, EZG.Red failed to qualify for Relegation and placed Top 40 at the CWL Seattle Open on the weekend. Atura joined Team WaR for a month and placed Top 32 at the CWL Anaheim Open. He then left to join a revamped EZG eSports roster with Parzelion, Apox, and RobbieB3319. They qualified for the Call of Duty World League Championship 2018 where they finished last in their group of Team Sween, Splyce, and eUnited.
Going into Black Ops 4, Atura joined Team WaR again, this time with RobbieB3319, Cells, Hollow, and Evasion. They placed Top 48 at the CWL Las Vegas Open and the team disbanded. He was then offered a chance on a pro league team, by joining Midnight Esports, and former teammate Parzelion, as their coach in February.

Q: Error running MCPMOD in R Dosefinding package I am trying to get the MCPMOD method of the Dosefinding package working. When I run MCPMOD with one model in the my_models object the method works;
my_models <- Mods(emax = c(0.2,0.7,200),
              doses = doses,placEff=0.1,maxEff = 0.9,fullMod=TRUE)
MCPMod(adose, response2, as.data.frame(simdat), my_models, Delta=0.1, selModel = "AIC" ,alpha=0.025)

But when I include 1 or more models it does not;
my_models <- Mods(linear=c(0.2,0.001),emax = c(0.2,0.7,200),
              doses = doses,placEff=0.1,maxEff = 0.9,fullMod=TRUE)
MCPMod(adose, response2, as.data.frame(simdat), my_models, Delta=0.1, selModel = "AIC" ,alpha=0.025)

It gives the error;
Error in match.arg(direction) : 'arg' must be of length 1

The data look like;

Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?

A: Well thanks to whoever spared the time to downvote this post - I thought this was a legitimate question when faced with an ambiguous error message to which I couldn't find an explanation for online.
Anyway for the benfit of others I believe the problem was related with the "fullmod=TRUE" line in the call to the "Mods" method. The following code works;
my_models <- Mods(linear=NULL,emax = c(200),quadratic=c(-0.000004/0.0028),
              doses = doses,placEff=0.2,maxEff = 0.5,fullMod=FALSE)

MCPMod(adose, response2, as.data.frame(simdat), my_models, Delta=0.1, selModel = "AIC" ,alpha=0.025)

The difference above is that for each model type only one parameter is provided to the "Mods" function since the full model versions are not being used (fullmod=FALSE). From providing the placebo effect (placEff=0.2) and the maximum dose effect (maxEff=0.7) the method then back calculates the remaining parameters in the model.
Given this new knowledge I thought perhaps the first error was related to using the placEff and maxEff arguments when at the same time supplying all the model parameters (I don't think both are required). However the following code also does not work;
my_models <- Mods(linear=c(0.2,0.001),quadratic=c(0.2,0.0028,-0.000004),
           logistic=c(0.2, 0.7, 200, 50),emax = c(0.2,0.7,200),
           doses = doses,fullMod=TRUE)
MCPMod(adose, response2, as.data.frame(simdat), my_models, Delta=0.1, selModel = "AIC" ,alpha=0.025)
