How be there joy when there is no you?
But that feeling still feels new.
And leave me feeling blue.
Accept it and fight to keep Christmas a joyous holiday.
Sing along to the songs of Praise.
If not for m'self, for you.
Father, I shall sing you those songs of Hope.
Dedicated to my father who has been on the other side for two years already.

Mime is considered one of the earliest mediums of self-expression. Before there was spoken language, mime was used to communicate what the primitive people needed or wanted. Instead of fading into obscurity when the spoken language was developed, mime had became a form of entertainment. It then developed into a true theatrical form in ancient Greece, where performers enacted everyday scenes with the help of elaborate gestures. The principle mimes were known as ethologues, and the scenes they would perform would teach moral lessons.
This is where it all began: the Theater of Dionysus in Athens. Masked actors performed outdoors, in daylight, before audiences of 10,000 or more at festivals in honor of Dionysus, the god of theater. The most elaborate form of Mime, known as hypothesis, may have approached the level of true drama. This would be performed by companies of actors, who would often concentrate more on the development of their characters, than the plot itself. Often one actor would play the part of several individuals in the production.
The comedy and tragedy which developed in Athens and flourished in the fifth and fourth centuries BC, have influenced nearly all subsequent Western drama, starting with that of the Romans. When the Romans conquered Greece, they brought Greek art of mime back to Italy and set about making it their own.
The Romans, with their love of spectacle, soon took over the existing theaters in Greece and began renovating and rebuilding them for their own spectacles, which included everything from pantomime to mock- naval battles. The remains of the Theater of Dionysus which we can see in Athens today date to Roman times and not the fifth century BC.
Mime enjoyed much success and growth under Emperor Augustus of Rome.
After the fall of the Roman empire, the Christian church showed great opposition to the bawdy, and often indecent associations of Mime, and excommunicated all performers, and closed down all the theatres. Despite this, the basic form of Mime survived. As the Church began to relax its attitude, mystery and morality plays began to appear with religious themes, many performed in mime.
Mime continued to entertain through the Middle Ages, and reached its height in sixteenth century Italy, in the form of Commedia dell'Arte. Commedia dell' Arte originated in the market places of the Italian streets in the early 1500's. Street performers began donning masks with exaggerated comical features to draw attention to themselves and to complement their acrobatic skills. The characters they created became affectionately known as Zanni.It wasn't until two Zanni performers teamed up that Commedia dell' Arte really took root and by 1550 it had become a firmly established genre. These first two characters, Arlecchino and Brighella were portrayed as belonging to the serving class.
The performing troupes were accessible to all social classes and the subject matter was always contemporary. With the mask concealing their identity, the performers could ridicule any aspect of society and its' institutions. No-one was safe. Ironically, the more trouble the troupes were in, the more popular and successful they became.
Even though troupes travelled away from their homeland, language was no barrier. Skillful mime and Zanni antics conveyed the story lines to audiences throughout Europe. So strong was their influence, that performers from other countries began to imitate the Zanni style. In 1576, a company of Italian players led by Flamino Scala went to France, where the art of Mime became immensely popular. Many of the traditional gestures and figures, such as Harlequin, became familiar at this time.
Almost two and a half centuries later, in 1811, a Bohemian acrobatic family were playing in Paris. The son of the family, Jean Gaspard Batiste Deburau, was engaged to perform at the Funambules on the Boulevard du Temple. He remained at this Theatre, until his death, and during this time he converted the crude slapstick form of Mime, to the art form that it is known as today. Deburau was a master of his art, and was responsible for creating the lovesick 'Pierrot', the eternal seeker.
Mime received new impetus after the First World War from the great Jacques Copeau, who taught Charles Dullin at the Vieux-Columbier school. Etienne Decroux, who had been another pupil, took these beginnings a stage further, and together with his own pupil Jean-Louis Barrault, developed the first elements of modern mime. Barrault later went his own way, to create the first true mimodramas. Decroux and Barrault both appear in the highly acclaimed French film, 'Les enfants du paradis'. The film, shot in Paris in 1945 under the watchful eyes of the Gestapo, tells the fictional biography of Deburau, as he performed at the Funambules.
After the Second World War, Marcel Marceau emerged, who was a pupil of Decroux at the Dullin school. He created his own special character, known as 'Bip', who is a familiar sight, with his top hat with the flower sticking out, and his short jacket. Bip was a character similar to Pierrot, a down trodden character, who could sometimes win, but would always end up at the bottom of the ladder.
Influenced by the silent film stars like Chaplin, and Keaton, Marceau was the architect of a totally new style and tradition, the true creator and master of modern mime as we understand it today.
Mime in America is eclectic and blends many styles. American mime suggests the emergence of another school of mime: a melting pot with much experimentation.
Basically, there are two major types of mime: literal and abstract or a combination of both. These types are evident in all the schools of mime.
Literal mime is primarily used for comedy and story theater. Literal mime generally tells a story with a conflict through the use of a main character. The actions and visual design clearly tell the viewers the story which is usually humorous.
Abstract mime is used to generate feelings, thoughts and images from a serious topic or issue. Normally there is no plot or central character. It is considered a more intuitive experience or image rather than literal actions.

Tornado causes damage at Smith Gardens near Aurora
By Curt Kipp — Posted October 19, 2017
Smith Gardens Inc. is recovering from a tornado that caused major damage last Thursday afternoon (October 12, 2017) at its greenhouse growing facility in Aurora, Oregon. Most of the damage was structural; less than 2 percent of crops were lost, and no one at the nursery was injured. Although there is a lot of cleanup work still ahead, the company expects to be able to ship all its orders.
"Seven of the 14 glass greenhouses sustained damage," said Wes Bailey, general manager of the location. "We are still getting a count of all the glass that needs to be replaced. So far, we have identified more than 3,500 pieces of glass from the roofs and sidewalls that need to be replaced. Structural damage was found in at least three houses, and our shade structure in the field was twisted up into a pretzel."
In a stroke of good fortune, the two houses that sustained the heaviest damage were empty of plants and workers because they were undergoing renovation.
"We were blessed that there were zero injuries through the incident," Bailey said. "We were very fortunate for that."
The company was forced to relocate more than 100,000 poinsettias to houses that are more protected.
"Rick and Elizabeth Peters from the Oregon Nursery Lean Consortium were here on Saturday all day helping move poinsettias – greatly appreciated," Bailey said. "We had a number of people from the industry reach out asking if they could help or support."
Canby Excavating has also helped the company with dirt work, drainage work, sweeping up glass and general cleanup. "They have worked for us on a number of projects around the property," Bailey said. "When they heard of the damage to the facility, they offered to come with any equipment and operators needed to help with clean up. Having companies like that willing to drop everything and come out in a time of need is greatly appreciated."
The tornado was well publicized, as it upturned two small airplanes that were parked at Aurora State Airport, which is located across Highway 551 from Smith Gardens. Several local TV stations came out to report on the damage at Smith Gardens and the airport.

Dubai's RTA Call Centre gets record calls in Q1
DUBAI, May 28, 2017
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Call Centre received 598,204 calls during the first quarter of 2017 at a response rate of 10 seconds per call, which compares well with the planned response period of 20 seconds per call.
The Centre handled 529,495 calls during the same period last year.
Ahmed Mahboub, executive director of Customers Service, RTA's Corporate Administrative Support Services Sector, said: "Receiving more than half a million calls during the first quarter of 2017 reflects the growing number of people opting to communicate with the award-winning Centre. It is recalled that RTA Call Centre has won the Best Customers Call Centre in the last edition of the Hamdan bin Mohammed Programme for Smart Government Award."
"This healthy increase is attributed to the huge efforts and excellent performance of the teams to ensure a quick response to the needs of customers needs in a record time despite the numerous services on offer. In line with our Government directives to rank Dubai the smartest city in the world, and in response to the Smart City initiative of Dubai Government, the Call Centre is focused on offering multiple e-services using hi-tech systems," he explained.
"During the first quarter of this year, the Centre has processed 88,061 transactions through the IVR System and has also processed 31,884 transactions via e-mails; recording a 12 per cent rise over the figure of the same period last year. It has finalised 5,708 transactions relating to driver licenses, vehicles and payment of fines, which reflects a massive increase of 54 per cent when compared to the same period last year.
"Transactions & inquiries channelled through chats amounted to 39,872 transactions; which reflects a whopping increase of as much as 3701 per cent over the same period last year. Madinati observations clocked 6,705 cases during the first quarter of this year recording an 11 per cent increase from the same period last year, and the sign-off rate of cases amounted to 99.7 per cent.
"The RTA always seeks to realise its 3rd Strategic Goal (People Happiness) considering it the backbone of its strategy aimed at improving services as well as the means of delivering them. It focuses on using advanced technology to meet customers' growing needs & expectations and save much of their time & efforts," added Mahboub. – TradeArabia News Service

Community Radio Performance Assessment System.
Community Radio Performance Assessment System draws from both the grassroots experience of community media and from international broadcast practices. It considers the issues that are the real basis for the success of community media: public accountability, community representation, locally relevant programming, diverse funding and acknowledgement of staff, including volunteers. It covers in details many key success factors, such as participation and ownership, content, management, volunteerism and networking; it can be applied across a wide range of contexts, from policy issues to the assessment of a local station.
CRSC was established by the Nepal Forum of Environmental Journalists (NEFEJ) in 2000.
The framework is indeed a very creditable effort that will be relevant and useful to the sustainable development of community media everywhere, not just radio. As someone who has worked in Nepal in the community radio sector, I warmly applaud it, and hope it forms a component within a developmental program that includes courses and mentoring of media stakeholders and management. From my experience, practical implementation is essential. I make two other points that CRSC should consider in framework implementation and further development: 1. The system should contain more audience related performance indicators, as ultimately any community media needs to find and influence an audience, not simply be a channel and 2. Be more flexible in defining community radio, as it ought to be owned and shaped by the audience/community/needs, not a textbook.

Mokomane, Z., Roberts, B., Struwig, J. & Gordon, S. (2019) <i>South African social attitudes: family matters: family cohesion, values and strengthening to promote wellbeing. </i> Cape Town: HSRC Press.
"The family" has become a significant and growing focus of study across a variety of disciplinary perspectives in the humanities, social sciences, and law. In South Africa, there has been controversy and substantial debate over an apparent "crisis of the family" during the last two decades. Ideological contestations have emerged over social morality and appeals for a return to traditional "family values". In order to provide a better understanding of the supposed "crisis of the family", it is necessary to use public opinion data to explore family cohesion, family values and the promotion of family life. SASAS - Family Matters: Family Cohesion, values and wellbeing promotes the family by drawing on unique data to offer insight into the diverse realities of contemporary family life in South Africa. It explores a series of family-related values and preferences, and charts the basis and nature of support for policy intervention in the family.

History of The Roundtree, Amagansett
Since the 1700's, the site of The Roundtree, Amagansett has served as an emblem of the historic legacy of Amagansett - the beautiful Hamptons town bordering the dunes of the Atlantic Ocean to its south and the vast farmlands to its north. Amagansett was founded between 1680 and 1700 by four families - the Baker's, Conklin's, Barnes, and the Schellinger's, whose original homestead included The Roundtree, Amagansett.
A 250 year legacy
At the time, The Roundtree, Amagansett served as a working farm and did so for many years, its storied presence woven into the town's landscape where one of our cottages dates back over 250 years. Our two-story main house, an iconic structure central to our property, goes back nearly 125 years.
In the last 50 years, the site has transformed into a hotel
Through education and preservation, we continue to honor the site's history and legacy today.

Store gallery: River Island lifts lid on new 'Boutique' concept
The future of the Mega-Sale-day event
John Lewis is a chain of department stores in the UK which, alongside grocery stablemate Waitrose, forms the employee-owned John Lewis Partnership.
John Lewis was formed in 1846 when its eponymous founder opened a drapery shop on Oxford Street. In 1906, Lewis bought a controlling stake in the famous Sloane Square store, Peter Jones, which it still operates today.
By 1914, Lewis appointed his son, John Spedan Lewis, as chair of Peter Jones and the foundations for the John Lewis business we know today were laid. Spedan Lewis created the "never knowingly undersold" pledge, and made early moves to establish the partnership model, paying staff based on turnover and launching a fortnightly newspaper to keep workers informed about the retailer's performance.
In the 1930s, John Lewis expanded, buying businesses including Jessop & Son and Tyrrell & Green, but did not rebrand them all to John Lewis until the early 2000s as it sought to establish a nationally recognised brand.
But the business has been challenged since the turn of the millennium, with profits falling and its much vaunted partnership bonus - paid to all staff - being scrapped in 2020 for the first time since 1953.

Condair Cube CO2 Humidity Temperature Monitor
The Condair Cube is a compact air monitor that displays a room's CO2, humidity and temperature levels.
Traffic light signals provide clear guidance and visually alerts the user when the indoor air quality drops below recommended levels.
The Condair Cube can project its readings on to a TV via a USB connection to a laptop.
The Condair Cube is ideal for reassuring customers, staff and the general public that a venue's indoor air quality is being positively maintained and monitored.
Condair Cube - indoor air quality monitor
This compact device monitors and displays the CO2, humidity and temperature levels of a room. A straight forward traffic light system provides clear and immediate guidance on whether a room's indoor air quality is inline with recommended levels. This allows the occupants or a building manager to take action and mitigate the risks of airborne viral transmission.
The Condair Cube can be powered via a USB cable (provided) or operated on its rechargable battery for up to four hours. By connecting the device to a laptop, via the USB cable and app (link below), the display can be mirrored on to a TV or monitor.
The Condair Cube's readings can be displayed in either numerical or graph formats. A touch screen display provides control over operation. Readings can be recorded via a micro memory card (not provided) so that an area's historic air quality can be objectively reviewed in Excel. This can help identify when improvements are required or highlight necessary changes to a room's occupancy or use.

What are the recommended levels for indoor air quality?
The recommended CO2 level for an occupied area is less 800ppm. This indicates that the ventilation is sufficient for the number of people in the area.
The recommended humidity level is 40-60%RH. Too low and viruses stay airborne and infectious for longer, and our respiratory immune system is impaired, leaving us more susceptible to infection.
The recommended temperature for a workplace is between 20-23°C but this can vary greatly depending on the activity and premises.
If your CO2 level is above 800ppm, you can lower it into the recommended range by ventilating or reducing the number of people in the area. Opening windows is a simple way to provide ventilation. Turning on extraction fans will also be effective. A professionally installed ventilation system is the optimum way to ventilate an area.
If your humidity is too low, you should use a humidifier to add moisture to the air. For small areas, mobile humidifiers might be sufficient. For larger areas or commercial premises, professionally installed humidfication systems will manage the air humidity so that it remains in the recommended range.
Is CO2 bad for you?
CO2 is a natural gas and at normal levels will not harm you. When monitored in relation to indoor air quality, it is used as an indication of appropriate ventilation rates for the number of people in an area. An enclosed area with lots of people and poor ventilation will have high levels of CO2. In this circumstance, there is a greater risk of cross infection, should an individual in the area have a respiratory infection, such as COVID19 or the flu.
By maintaining a CO2 level of less than 800ppm in an occupied area, the ventilation rates are thought to be adequate to significantly reduce the risk of airborne viral cross infection between people in the area.
CO2 levels would need to rise above 2,500ppm for it to cause symptoms, such as headches, and above 40,000ppm for it to be a direct threat to life. Although at levels of above 1,000ppm, the air can feel stuffy and concentration can be affected, which has significant implications for buildings such as schools and offices.
Monitoring CO2 does not give any indication of the presence of COVID19 in an atmosphere.
How does humidity affect viral transmission?
Studies have shown that a low humidity, less than 40%RH, causes infectious droplets people release whilst talking, breathing and coughing, to remain airborne for longer. Expelled droplets shrink through evaporation in dry atmospheres, causing them to be smaller and therefore float for longer.
Some viruses, such as influenza, have been shown to survive for longer whilst airborne in atmospheres of less than 40%RH. At a humidity of 40-60%RH, studies have shown that airborne viruses remain infectious for the shortest possible duration.
The human body's first line of defence against airborne infection is the mucociliary clearance process, which occurs in the nose and throat. Our mucous membranes capture and remove airborne pollutants that we inhale, preventing them from causing an infection. In dry air, below 40%RH, these mucous membranes dry out and become much less effective at preventing infection.
By maintaining 40-60%RH in occupied areas, viruses remain airborne for a shorter duration, they remain infectious for the shortest possible time and our body's respiratory immune system is most efficient at fighting them off.

Return to work: how to manage a healthy humidity
Dave Marshall-George looks at how businesses can adhere to guidance on indoor humidity levels in a post lockdown, COVID world.
My humidity is low, what should I do?
If your workplace humidity is consistently below 40%RH it could be affecting your health. Here's what you can do about it.
Humidity, health and wellbeing
40-60% relative humidity is the optimum condition for our body, immune system and to reduce airborne infection.
Dry air and our airway defence system
Low humidity dries our mucous membranes and inhibits our body's natural defence against airborne germs, viruses and bacteria.
Dry air and airborne infection
Low humidity acts as a conduit for viruses and airborne bacteria to disperse and travel around a building and threaten all occupants.
Dry air and our skin
Low humidity dries the outer layer of our skin leading to itchiness, cracking and dermatological problems.
Dry air and our eyes
Low humidity dries our eyes' precorneal tear film making us prone to eye irritations and contact lens discomfort.

The Domain – What You Need To Know About It
We just got to love the people who invented the Internet. After all, the World Wide Web has allowed us to express ourselves through our own websites, blogs, foroums, and socail media profiles. These sites have become a reflection of ourselves, our work, and our lives.
Whether it may be for showcasing our artwork or marketing our products – the World Wide Web has become such a relevant and primordial tool, making it necessary to know more about technical matters, such as IP Addresses and Domains. Thus, I have decided to shed light on this matter by explaining to you further, what is a domain and all the important aspects that you should know about it.
A Domain Name are identification tags that describe your area of control over the Internet. They are hostnames identified by an IP Address and governed by the rules and regulations of the Domain Name System(DNS) – which is a naming system built on scattered databases for computers in the net.
The Domain names' purpose is to provide easy names to alphanumeric addresses in the Net. Thus, despite transferring the physical location the database, the address can still be connected anywhere.
Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which level it belongs to, generic or country code top level domains. There are a limited number of such domains. Examples of these are:
com – commercial business
net – Network organizations
gov – Government agencies
edu – Educational institutions
org – Organizations (nonprofit)
mil – Military
ca – Canada
A little History: On 15 March 1985, the first commercial Internet domain name was registered under the name Symbolics.com. By 1992 no more than 15,000 dot.com domains were registered. In December 2009 figures rose to 192 million domain names. A large fraction of them are in the .com's. As of March 2010 there are 84 million domain names, of it is 11.9 million business and commerce sites, 4.3 million for entertainment, 3.1 million finance sites, and 1.8 million sports related sites.
How To Register a domain name?
To register a domain name is to use the services of a domain name registrar. This industry is managed by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) – which is the group that is responsible for certifying companies as domain name registrars.
Only a domain name registrar is permitted to access the master database of domain names maintained by InterNIC, otherwise known as the Internet Network Information Center. The InterNIC is actually the one which holds the list of accredited domain name registrars. On the other hand, ICANN-accredited registrars have the authority to assign domain names for theTLDs of .com, .biz., .info, .name, .net, and .org.
The registrar is also the one that will determine the cost for registering a domain name. Some will offer discounts if one will register for more than one year, but no registrar has the authority to sell more than a 10-year contract for any domain name. The registrar also has the power to cancel a contract and resell the domain name if it cannot contact an actual person to settle legal issues that may arise.
During Registration, registrars require some important Contact information related with the domain:
Administrative Contact – usually manages the domain name. Has high level of control over a domain. Functions delegated to the administrative contacts may include management of all information, such as name of record, postal address, and contact information of the official registrant of the domain and the obligation to conform to the requirements of the domain registry in order to retain the right to use a domain name.
Technical Contact – manages the name servers of a domain name. The functions of a technical contact include conformance of the configurations of the domain name with the requirements of the domain registry, maintaining the domain zone records, and providing continuous functionality of the name servers.
Billing Contact – responsible for receiving billing from the domain name registrar and paying fees.
Name servers – registrars provide two(minimum) or more name servers as part of the service. Their policies govern the number of servers and the type of server information required. Some providers require a hostname and the corresponding IP address or just the hostname, which must be resolvable either in the new domain, or exist elsewhere
It is also worthy to note that there are laws that regulate the registration of domain names, such as registering a copyrighted name. If you want to create a domain name and are not sure if it has already been taken, you can check a server, WHOIS – that tracks all the registered domain names.
These are just some of the basic things that you need to know about Domains. And just by looking at the said aspects, one can realize that indeed, the Domain is an indispensable part of the Internet world that we are living in right now.

His son started performing with his dad at age 10. He plays drums and sings Michael Bublé-style jazz and pop songs.
Friday's concert kicks off a planned concert series at Christus Victor Lutheran Church that will likely feature Paul Todd and Paul Todd Jr. as well as other acts. Details will be announced later this year.
It's also a good-will drive for the church's annual Immokalee Friendship House shelter in Naples. Concert organizers are asking that people donate household items such as dishes, paper towels, diapers, clothes and Bibles (especially ones in Spanish). For a list of needed items, visit yapsody.com.

Can your destiny ever really be foretold? What would you do if you received a letter, unsigned, that gave you a cryptic message about your future? Would you be ready to learn the truth? This is a 600 word short story.
Update Notice: July 14, 2016.
Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting our Authors Page.
Sasha and I apologize for the delay of book four of our Amanda Ackers series. We have both had some health issues, so, my writing is on hold for a while.
We are very thankful to you all, for supporting our work, which we do for the enjoyment as new authors.
Our thanks also, to the many of you who have emailed us with kind comments on our stories and the first three books of our novel series, and those who have requested receiving a pre-release version. We had never thought of doing a pre-release, but thought it was a great idea! It gave many a chance to read book two and three of Amanda's adventures, before we actually published it. Thanks to all of you!
We are most humbled by the response we have received, and thank you from the top, middle and bottom of our hearts!
If anyone would like to correspond with us, please shoot us an email when you get the chance, we would love to hear from you.
Hello and thank you for visiting our Smashwords.com page.
My name is Sasha Gabriel, and I would like to take a few moments to say a little about Glenn and myself.
They say that creativity belongs to the young. Well, not always. Young at heart, I'll buy, but nothing else.
Writing is relatively new for me. I've been an avid reader for most of my 60+ years. But writing seemed daunting. How do you write an idea to get over to other people without boring them to death? How do you write conversations that sound like the people who are speaking them?
Once I studied the "how to's" a bit, and with the encouragement from Glenn, my wonderful husband and best friend, I started writing.
And I love it. So does Glenn.
Writing has opened a door for me that nothing else has – my imagination has soared and I'm absolutely thrilled and thankful, from the bottom of my heart, that others like my writing, as well.
Both Glenn and I have written and published very, very short stories (no more than 600 word stories) because these were also entered into a writing contest with that directive.
At the same time, both Glenn and I are writing novels (Glenn's is awesome!!!! Think the depth of Lord of the Rings with the immediacy of Harry Potter and you've got it!).
But I want to share something with you all… Glenn has battled Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia almost his entire life. That's a mouthful, for sure, but try living with them on a daily basis!
Even so, Glenn has worked to overcome the more serious side effects and his talent in writing, painting, and all over creativity is nothing short of staggering.
Honestly… I'm running to keep up with him but I'm mostly just out of breath!
So… the bottom line is… we're all just human with all our challenges and it's those challenges that make what we create that much better.
Please… If you like to read… then write. For writing, get to your keyboard and begin. If you don't know how start, or where to find ideas for a story or chapter, please contact Glenn. He has helped over 30 people to date get started, and published, and does it for FREE.
We think you'll surprise yourself at your talents if you just give writing a try.
And, again… Thank You all for your kind and generous words of appreciation for our stories!
Just wanted to add that we never thought anyone would even read our work, let alone have downloaded our little stories now over 300,000 times.
Because of the kind words from you all, I will continue to write. I have, as Sasha had mentioned, been writing the Amanda Ackers novel series, with Sasha contributing several chapters to each book. I now have 21 other novels started.
I had only begun writing the novel for fun, for our grandson Logan. I was not going to publish it, just print it out to give to him. However, with all the encouragement I have received via email, from those reading our little short stories, I have decided to publish the Amanda Ackers series for FREE here on Smashwords.com. The series is also in print on Amazon.com and CreateSpace.com, but of course, being in print, I have to charge for them.
My many thanks to all of you, for your continued support.
It is not Science Fiction, It might be Fantasy, more accurately it is a modern interpretation of mythology. Really its a less then optimal executed drama.
I guessed the author of the 'Letter" early, and found the entire scenario from start to end to be unrealistic.
So beautifully you express everything in such little stories..
Extremely well-written, chilling, eerie short story which packs a punch at its conclusion. While the ending may seem a little abrupt at first glance, it is in keeping with the story's immediacy, and fast pacing. Good job.
Read all your stories last night. Once I finished one, I had to read the others.
This is my favorite. I like your style.
Put up some more stories and make them longer.
This is a terrific story though I thought it should be longer.
I'll check out your others.
This is one of your best stories yet. I have not read all of them, but I really liked this one!
Another really interesting story - I'd have loved to know more about the letter writer, though.
Now, honestly... this could def be a Twilight Zone episode!
Great writing that in a short story, so much is said and pictured.
Great! Wanted to read more, actually.
Good story. Sure hope I don't get a letter like that!


Analysis: how likely is war?
Explainer: where is Guam and why is North Korea threatening it?
Explainer: what is the US military's presence near North Korea?
North Korea has said it is considering a missile strike on the US Pacific territory of Guam, just hours after Donald Trump warned the regime that any threat to the United States would be met with "fire and fury".
The threat, carried by the state-run KCNA news agency, marked a dramatic rise in tensions and prompted warnings to Washington not to become embroiled in a bellicose slanging match with North Korea.
Pyongyang said it was "carefully examining" a plan to strike Guam, located 3,400km (2,100 miles) away, and threatened to create an "enveloping fire" around the territory.
Guam is home to a US military base that includes a submarine squadron, an airbase and a coastguard group.
Guam's governor, Eddie Calvo, on Wednesday attempted to reassure residents that there was "no threat" of a North Korean strike, but added that the island was prepared for "any eventuality".
In an online video message he said he had been told by the US defence and homeland security departments that there was no change in the threat level.
A Korean people's army (KPA) spokesman said in a statement Wednesday that a plan would be put into practice as soon as the order to attack Guam was issued by the country's leader, Kim Jong-un.
"The KPA strategic force is now carefully examining the operational plan for making an enveloping fire at the areas around Guam with medium- to long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12 in order to contain the US major military bases on Guam, including the Anderson airforce base," the spokesman said.
KCNA quoted a second army spokesman accusing Washington of devising a "preventive war", adding that any attempt to attack the North would provoke "all-out war, wiping out all the strongholds of enemies, including the US mainland".
The US should cease its "reckless military provocation" against North Korea to avoid such a reaction, the spokesman added.
In response, South Korea's president, Moon Jae-in, called for an overhaul of the country's armed services, citing an "urgent" need to improve its ability to defend against North Korean missile attacks.
"I believe we might need a complete defence reform at the level of a rebirth, instead of making some improvements or modifications," Moon told senior military officials, according to Yonhap news agency.
The unification ministry, which handles cross-border relations, said the threat against Guam would damage attempts to improve inter-Korean ties. A ministry spokesman said the South was committed to dialogue and sanctions, and urged Pyongyang to end its provocations.
France and Germany also called on all sides to use restraint. "We are watching the increasing rhetorical escalation regarding the Korean Peninsula with the greatest concern," German foreign ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer told reporters.
Tensions in the region have risen since North Korea carried out two nuclear bomb tests last year and test-launched two intercontinental ballistic missiles last month. The UN security council responded last weekend by unanimously agreeing sanctions designed to deprive the regime of around a billion US dollars in hard currency.
North Korea's bellicose language is causing anxiety in Japan. Its defence ministry warned on Tuesday that it was possible that Pyongyang had miniaturised its nuclear weaponry. A leaked US intelligence assessment also claimed the regime had successfully produced a miniaturised nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missiles.
Japanese fighters conducted joint air drills with US supersonic bombers near the Korean peninsula on Tuesday, Japan's air self-defence forces said. A day earlier, two US B-1 bombers flew from Guam over the Korean peninsula as part of its "continuous bomber presence", a US official said.
US security and defence officials in Guam, which is within range of North Korean medium- and long-range missiles, said there was no imminent threat to people there or elsewhere in the Northern Mariana Islands.
Guam's department of homeland security and office of civil defence said they were monitoring North Korea with US military and government officials.
Guam's homeland security adviser, George Charfauros, said officials were confident that the US defence department was "monitoring this situation very closely and is maintaining a condition of readiness".
But the speaker of the Guam legislature, Benjamin J Cruz, said people on the island were "just praying that the United States and the … defence system we have here is sufficient enough to protect us". Cruz told the Associated Press that the threat was "very disconcerting".
The New Zealand prime minister condemnded Trump's comments, in an unusually strong statement.
"I think the comments are not helpful in an environment that is very tense," Bill English told local media. He said his government had yet to express concerns to the US administration directly, but "certainly if that type of commentary continued we would".
But North Korea experts played down the potential for a military strike on Guam. "There's rhetoric on both sides – it's like two bullies in the playground yelling at each other," said Robert Kelly, associate professor at Pusan National University.
"I think the North Koreans just pulled the Guam threat out of the air. Sure, there's some sort of rough plan on a shelf somewhere, because Guam is an important American reinforcement point, but I don't think there is anything immediately in the offing.

The slopes went accompanied by cánigo (vasija of native mud of the Islands) made by a potter of Yaiza as a jeweler.
The special slopes for the small Leonor have been created for the ocación by a factory of orfebrería of White Beach. 6 brilliants and extracted olivina of the National Park of Timanfaya are designed with gold. Yaiza has solicitd, specially, to the Princes de Asturias, Don Felipe and Doña Leticia, whom these slopes, if therefore they consider it, Infant Leonor releases during her real baptism to half of the next month of January in Madrid "because they contribute vitality, energies and successes coming from Volcanos of Lanzarote so that they accompany to Infant Leonor during this century XXI in the destinies of our country".
Year 1998 with the birth Felipe Juan Froilán of All the Saints, first grandson of SS.MM Kings Don Juan Carlos and Doña Sofía, the City council of Yaiza gave to Ote, a young of camel, mascot that was accepted by Dukes de Lugo.

Earrings of Yaiza for Leonor
Yaiza trusts that Doña Leonor carries in her baptism the earrings of olivina, gold and brilliants that a White Beach craftsman has created for her. Also Cabildo and Teguise prepared presents for the real baby, who today leaves the island next to his parents.
The island has turned upside down with Princes de Asturias and, mainly, with his new born Leonor daughter. The City council of Yaiza, for example, gave to the family slopes in gold, brilliants and olivina created by a White Beach goldsmith.
The own mayor of Yaiza, Jose Francisco Kings, transferred to Doña Sofía this idea, during the celebration of the baptism of the son of Carlos Morales and Princess Alexia. Reina assured that the gift would be accepted willingly "and even there are possibilities that the young one carries the earrings in the baptism of next the 14 of January", pointed municipal sources. The six brilliants symbolize the six centuries of history of Yaiza and the olivina is the symbolic stone of the island.

What will the Three Wise Men have brought to Leonor? She is very young, and evidently she does not realize anything, but today is one of the more special of the year for all the children. It is sure that the Princes would be been charmed with of opening the first gifts of her daughter.

You said it, in every Spanish publication...I bet if the poll was taken in Denmark, the results would be different. I love Leonor, but I think these polls seem unfair to the other little ones...who are as cute as little Leonor...just a thought.
well, i think it's a bit unfair for readers of Hello who voted Lilleprinsen of Denmark as the cutest baby, beating Leonor, Alexia, Sverre, and Emmanuel.
i guess it just depend on the audience.
however, i liked the page i linked from terra, it has a good graphic, is it not?
moosey60
I agree...No offense to anyone, but I don't find Lilleprinsen very cute at all. I think the other royal babies of 2005 are a lot cuter. They also forgot about Leah Isadora.
Evidently Leonor is in all the summaries of the year 2005 in Spain, between the most famous prominent figures, the most out-standing news ... it is the normal thing, the illogical thing would be that was in the lists of other country. Like this week her baptism will be one of the more important news, and next Sunday her photography will occupy all the front pages of newspapers.

A wine for Infanta Leonor
The Valdrinal warehouse (Denomination of Origin Ribera del Duero) has destined a unique and exclusive bottle to commemorate the birth of Infanta Leonor. One is a large bottle of three liters whose wine, of vendimia of the 2000, belongs to the deprived selection of Valdrinal, of that single becomes a unit by each harvest.

The Princes will bring the Infanta Leonor to Covadonga some weeks after the baptism
Don Felipe and dona Letizia want that the visit to the cradle of the Monarchy serves to press hard the links of the newborn child with the Principality
Oviedo, P. R. / R. S.
" Covadonga always is different ". The Princess Letizia Ortiz declared these words on January 30, 2004, during the first visit that she did to Covadonga's sanctuary together with the one that four months later would turn into her husband, the Prince Felipe. Two years after that stay, the Princes prepare a new visit to the basilica, which will have a very special meaning: they will come accompanied of their first daughter, the Infanta Leonor.
Don Felipe and dona Letizia want that Covadonga, origin of the Spanish Monarchy, is the principal point of reference of the first trip to Asturias of the girl, for the one that still does not exist definitive date, though the intention of the Princes is that it takes place some weeks after the baptism, which will be celebrated next Saturday in the Zarzuela. With this visit, the Princes try to press the links hard with the land of the future Princess of Asturias.
Don Felipe has realized six visits to the Sanctuary. In the first one, on November 1, 1977, the inheritor of the Wreath took possession of his title as Prince of Asturias in Covadonga - neither investiture nor proclamation, it was said then-, in an act at which the Kings were present, their children and the sisters of don Juan Carlos, accompanied of their husbands.
Don Felipe de Borbón returned to the basilica, accompanied of his parents, in September, 1980. In that occasion, the principal motive of the visit was the constitution of the Foundation Prince of Asturias, in Oviedo, but the first stop, after landing in the airport, it was the cave of the sanctuary, before the Santina.
He returned to Covadonga in 1988, to be present at the constitution of the Meeting of the Royal Patronage of the Cave and Covadonga's Site. The prime ministers accompanied him and of the General Meeting of the Principality, Pedro of Forest and Antonio Landeta.
In 1994, on the occasion of the delivery of the prize " Prince of Asturias " to the Exemplary Village to the shepherds of the Picos, don Felipe wanted to visit the virgin of Covadonga and during a few minutes, in loneliness, prayed before her.
On September 7, 2001 he was present at the celebration of the first centenary of the consecration of Covadonga's basilica, visiting the exhibition " Covadonga. Iconography of a devotion ". His sixth and for the present last visit to Covadonga was a January 30, 2004 together with dona Letizia and the paternal grandparents of this one, Jose Luis Ortiz, deceased one year ago, and Menchu Álvarez del Valle.

In The Zarzuela they believe that the infanta Leonor looks like especially don Juan Carlos, though with something of her mother
The infanta Leonor continues with all normality the process of upbringing in her house of The Zarzuela, where there is satisfaction for her evolution and they do not hide of commenting that the girl " is very pretty ".
There are also good sensations for the excellent images that took of the three, the princes and their daughter, when they travelled to Lanzarote this Christmas for a few days of rest, in that it was possible to estimate better the face and the eyes of the small one.
To the commentary of which - with exception of the trip to Canaries - the girl is not working out great to the street, it is answered that she has where to take the Sun and the air, in her own house.
In The Zarzuela they think that the infanta looks like especially her grandfather, the King, and of fact they have verified it with don Juan Carlos' old photographies when he had a few months of age. Simultaneously, they believe that the mouth of the girl belongs to her mother, of Letizia Ortiz.

Brian Deer and The GMC
News & Politics,
"Brian Deer, a journalist writing for Murdoch's Sunday Times, was the only person in the world to complain to a regulatory body about the work of doctors at the Royal Free Hospital in London who diagnosed children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which their parents suggested had occurred following MMR vaccination.
In 2003, after 10 years work, legal aid was withdrawn from over 1,000 parents claiming damages in a suit in which Wakefield was to appear as an expert witness. In 2004 Deer wrote an exposé of Wakefield that was full of concoctions, half truths and fantasies and which claimed that the children examined by the team at the Royal Free were not ill. Deer's distorted pharma–imaginings became the basis of over 80 charges leveled against Dr Wakefield and three other doctors to be 'tried' by the General Medical Council (GMC). The hearing took place over three years between 2007 and 2010 and became one of the longest regulatory hearings ever held in Britain. Brian Deer, the centre of the whole plot, did not give evidence.
In bringing the fitness to practice case against Dr Andrew Wakefield, Professor Simon Murch and Professor John Walker-Smith, the GMC listened to journalist Brian Deer and excluded the views of hundreds of parents of vaccine damaged children. Who is Brian Deer? Vigilante for truth or front man for Big Pharma? Selective Hearing covers Deer's part in the heartbreaking betrayal of vaccine damaged children by the medical profession, the pharmaceutical corporations and the British government.
With the full power of the government and pharmaceutical industry behind him, few people were brave enough to tackle Deer. Alan Golding, however, is a Welshman, a very independent filmmaker and a man of considerable principle. Alan Golding gave himself completely over the three–year duration of the GMC hearing, to the cause of Wakefield and the parents of vaccine damaged children. Selective Hearing is a beautifully filmed fine mix of interviews with parents, analysis of Deer's faulted case and unique material of him holding forth for the pharmaceutical companies in a heated exchange with parents outside the GMC building. If you see this film you will want to do something about Brian Deer."

FighterHayabusa's Top 5 Wrestlemania Moments
[repost from 2011]
5. HBK loses to Undertaker in their WrestleMania rematch
Mascara De Fuego: Great emotional moment, every time I think back to this match I think of HBK standing in the middle of the ring saying thank you to the crowd. A moment that was built over TWO YEARS something unheard of from the WWE!
Great Puma: This is one of my favorite WrestleMania endings in recent history. As soon as the ref counted to three, I immediately missed Shawn Michaels. It meant the ending of an era of one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time. As much as wrestling is a work, this moment was all real and Shawn Michaels' heartfelt gestures at the end of the match put this moment over the top.
4. Stone Cold winning the WWE Title at WrestleMania 14
Mascara De Fuego: Without question the beginning of what the WWE would call the "attitude era". Stone Cold brought the WWE into the forefront of the industry once again and it all started here. The addition of Mike Tyson did wonders for the WWE and no moment captured this than Tyson taking off his DX shirt and knocking out HBK. Now as a pro wrestling fan it was not my personal favorite to see that but I knew it was right for the business.
Great Puma: This was Stone Cold barely reaching his peak. Stone Cold pinning HBK, followed by Mike Tyson's knockout punch, catapulted the WWE into the second golden age of pro wrestling since the late 80's. It was a great moment for wrestling fans who couldn't be more happier to see Stone Cold finally get what he deserved.

This paper will compare two of the most prominent mystics of Islam and Hinduism on what may be called the "end of the mystical journey," or mokśa in Hindu spirituality and fanā in Islamic mysticism. The interpretations of these two mystics are naturally developed according to their own epistemological and ontological bases. Thus, referring to their most significant principles of thought, the author has tried to examine three aspects of those concepts, i.e., the nature of mokśa and fanā, how these states can be attained, and whether or not religious obligations still need to be practiced after they have been attained. Having compared and summed up mokśa and fanā within the above contexts, the author has shown some striking similarities and considerable differences between them, both in their principles and in the three above aspects relating to their nature, attainment and obligations.

COVID-19 pandemic affected people globally. It has created a lot of socio-economic setbacks in different countries, organizations and individuals. This research examined the implications of COVID-19 lockdown on the spiritual well-being of women in the Catholic Diocese of Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria. The study adopted parallel convergence design, where both qualitative and quantitative data was collected at the same time. The target population was 1700 women. A sample size of 324 was used. Sampling was done through simple random and purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was done through open and closed ended questionnaire, and an in-depth interview guides. This applied to Catholic women and women leaders in the diocese respectively. From the findings, majority of women had given up on important individual and family future plans. Some respondents confirmed that, the lockdown came with challenges including loss of jobs, income, food insecurity, challenges in accessing social and spiritual services as well as social interaction limitations. However, to some, lockdown encouraged the presence of family members at home therefore enhancing family bonding and love. The study concluded that, COVID-19 lockdown impacted on the psycho spiritual well-being of Catholic women in the diocese of Ijebu-Ode and therefore a need for relevant interventions in future similar occurrences. The study recommends thorough preparedness by the federal ministry of health and the church in relation to infrastructure, personnel, Pscycho-spiritual well-being and medical supplies. There is also, a need for a comprehensive handling of pandemics by all stakeholders to avoid gaps in service delivery now and in the future.

my wife and I arrived at the warm and welcoming Black Rhino Lodge.
the smiles and welcoming greeting from the staff made it light up.
that is situated to the left of the car park.
There is indoor as well as outdoor dining facilities available.
The lodge serves breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner.
The variety of food on offer will satisfy the most discerning palates.
this extra blanket was most welcome.
but it was not required.
This was part of recently completed family accommodation.
should a family be using the building.
The decor is simple and quietly understated.
had been considerably firmer than the ones on offer.
that way I am guaranteed a good nights sleep.
We were not really in the room long enough to make full use of this.
this was only used for a minimal period of time.
to enjoy the freedom that an outdoor shower offers.
as it was just too chilly to be tempted.
and, if I am to be honest, thirds.
The closest seating area to both the hide and the waterhole.
And it was here that I spent most of my time while not out on game drives.
The neutral tones blended in well with the surrounds.
The most recent seating area.
it is ideal for a quiet afternoon or perhaps a corporate break away.
should you feel like a hot meal.
This waterhole is just a few meters from the deck of the main building.
It certainly was a hive of activity while we were at the lodge.
A shout of "There are Zebra at the waterhole"
