Perfect World Chapter 879
Chapter 879 - Three Thousand Road End
In the depths of his flesh, wisps of light could be seen, calm and unmoving, laying dormant within.
Even with the heavenly eye, it was still a bit blurry, but he was now sure that those were flames that were extremely familiar. He had seen these before!
"It actually ran into my body! I never noticed it all this time. It didn't injure me!"
Shi Hao was extremely shocked. He had previously seen a flame next to the nine coffins that was incomparably mysterious. It had previously forced away the Green Lunar Flame, so one could very well imagine how powerful and immeasurable it was!
He had previously heard Qi Daolin grumble indistinctly to himself that this flame could burn all evils, purge heaven and earth. From a certain perspective, it couldn't be considered a flame, because it was made out of symbols.
The only reason they called it a flame was because the mysterious symbols shone. They merged together and looked like flames.
How was he supposed to summon it and transfer it? These mysterious symbols contained tremendous secrets. If he could comprehend through them, he might have a solution to all of the auspicious and strange things.
No matter how many came, he might be able to burn through them all!
Shi Hao tried to communicate with it, but it didn't move, laying dormant.
For the next few days, Shi Hao's divine senses permeated into his body, roaming about these mysterious symbols. He wanted to have it revive so he could communicate with it.
However, he was disappointed, unable to obtain the slightest bit of progress.
Following a light sigh, Shi Hao got up. He walked down from the Dao Comprehension Stone and looked into the distance.
"Qing Yi, please burn me with your Green Lunar Flame!" He suddenly said this.
"Did you go stupid?" The little rabbit said inarticulately while nibbling on a holy medicine, looking at him with her widened eyes.
Qing Yi and Cao Yusheng were stunned as well. The origins of the green ancient flame were astonishing, born in Immortal Ancient, known as an 'immortal seed' left behind by the matchless true immortal Qing Yue.
Using it to burn oneself, there was definitely no good result from it.
The reason why Qing Yi was okay was because this flame acknowledged her. They coexisted with each other, and she had a chance of obtaining its inheritance.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine as long as it's a bit weaker. I have something inside of me that I need to test out." Shi Hao said.
When Qing Yi found out that the other flame was in Shi Hao's body, she couldn't help but feel stunned. There was actually this type of thing that happened!
A strand of green flame seeped out, slowly approaching Shi Hao's body, extremely gentle. It entered his body, pure like green moonlight.
"It hurts so much!" Shi Hao grimaced. As soon as he got closer, his flesh felt like it was being hacked by blades. He felt incomparable pain.
Qing Yi carefully controlled it, having the flame calm down, the offensive power decreased. She moved it closer to the region where the mysterious flame laid dormant.
Suddenly, multicolored light flashed, symbols shining resplendently. The Green Lunar Flame retreated on its own, not proceeding further. It was useless even if she tried to control it.
Shi Hao sighed. It seems like he can't really depend on this flame anymore. There was no way unless he acted recklessly, splitting apart his own body and defending himself with that area of his flesh.
Only… that was too miserable.
"Since there were others who were able to pass this trial, then I can as well. I have to think of a way to tread on this path." Shi Hao temporarily gave up on that thought.
The flame was the final hand he was most reluctant to play. If there was still a possibility, he wouldn't use it. It was because even if he split apart his own body, if those symbols didn't want to move, there was still a chance that it wouldn't help him.
"All those who were able to succeed since the ancient time, without exception, had to use that streak of immortal energy. As long as you can persevere on, when you can control it on your own, you can defeat everyone in your way." Cao Yusheng said.
Shi Hao nodded, not saying anything.
He entered isolation cultivation again, not to ignite dao flames, but to comprehend himself on a deeper level, to observe his own flesh and soul, unearth all potential.
"Is what you said true? The so-called ancient past is Immortal Ancient Great Era, right? Are you sure that there were ominous events even back then?" The little rabbit muttered.
"It is just something I am speculating. Right now, he needs confidence!" Cao Yusheng said.
The Lunar Jade Hair rolled its eyes, not paying him any more attention.
Right now, regardless of whether it was Qing Yi or the Divine Striking Stone, none of them could offer much help, only able to worry. However, the little fatty Cao Yusheng's inheritance was strange, and he knew quite a bit.
Shi Hao didn't act rashly. He continued to observe the supreme being blood, because he always felt like that strand of immortal energy didn't scatter and was instead absorbed inside. There was no way there were no changes at all.
He waited patiently. Half a month later, he finally discovered something different with his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye!
"A new type of symbol has started to appear, evolving, forming, and tangling together!" Shi Hao was shocked.
Apart from Heaven's Hand and Reincarnation symbols' merging, a third type of symbol appeared in his supreme being blood, only, it was still in its beginning stages, difficult to be sure what kind of ability it had exactly.
He poured all of his concentration into this, silently observing and carefully sensing the changes. For him, this was a completely new experience. He was witnessing the birth process of an extremely powerful precious technique!
He could vaguely see the origins and development of the road of cultivation. His primordial spirit was completely immersed, carefully observing and silently receiving enlightenment.
This type of development was extremely hard to obtain for cultivators!
However, how many people could accomplish this? The number of people who had Heavenly Eyes were pitifully few to begin with, and after obtaining them, how could they encounter this type of opportunity, personally witnessing the birth of an unmatched technique?!
Observing, experiencing this type of evolution, for Shi Hao, was the opening of a new world. For him, it possessed unimaginable meaning.
"The road of cultivation, the path of origins, the path of ascension, is similar as well. It is just like this, established bit by bit, and only then will it flourish like today."
After who knew how much time had passed, the supreme being blood gradually calmed down, and those symbols stopped their transformation, entering a state of hibernation.
A third unmatched technique was, without a doubt, going to take form. It only needed time!
As such, Shi Hao closed his eyes, his mind carefully thinking for an extremely long time. Only after that did he walk down from the Dao Comprehension Stone feeling incredibly enriched, his harvest great.
"There will be a day when I will establish a completely new cultivation method, one different from the Immortal Ancient Great Era, one that is different from that of the present great era as well, a completely different path that will transcend above.
Shi Hao said quietly. This type of thought emerged in his mind.
When the others heard him, they all became petrified. What kind of boldness was this? Was he going to produce an entirely different cultivation system?!
They felt that it wasn't realistic. Opening a different path was harder than climbing to heaven.
Immortal Ancient Great Era had immortal seed inheritances. This great era cultivated bone texts, so it was difficult for them to imagine what other types of paths there could be. Could other systems even appear?
"The road is long. Right now, I can only accumulate experience, only have a few vague thoughts, powerless to do anything now. However, in the future, that day will come." Shi Hao said.
Hong!
Suddenly, a streak of lightning hacked down from the heavens, blasting him until he flew outwards, his body dripping with blood. The lightning was terrifying to the extreme!
If it was anyone else, they would have definitely turned into ashes. However, Shi Hao stuck it through!
The little rabbit was stupefied, and then it shouted, "Look, you were speaking randomly. See, you were even struck by lightning!"
The Divine Striking Stone, Qing Yi, and Cao Yusheng's expressions changed. Their minds were greatly shaken!
This great era was already without lightning tribulation, disappearing with the end of the last great era. However, right now, it unexpectedly appeared again.
It was rumored that in Immortal Ancient, there were unmatched creatures who shocked the heavens with their words, consequently stirring up great lightning tribulation. However, that was something that happened in the Immortal Ancient Great Era! How could they have appeared in this era?
They looked towards Shi Hao, their expressions strange. Could it be that this type of cultivation path really might appear in the future?
If that really was the case, then the effects would definitely be tremendous, no end of achievements!
Shi Hao calmly comprehended again. He observed the changes that were happening in his supreme being blood, and only after a month had passed did he open his eyes, preparing to come out of isolation and ignite the three thousand dao flames.
"Careful, do only what you are capable of!" What else could they say? They couldn't advise him against this, so they could only wish him well.
Soon after, all three thousand bluestone paths illuminated, burning fiercely. Symbols overflowed into the heavens, immediately engulfing the heavens, as if it was going to tear apart the skies.
Without a doubt, the disturbance here already created some irregularities within a few small worlds.
Everyone could feel that a strange energy was pervading the air. Heart shaking fluctuations were extending, leaving all of them feeling shocked and confused.
The bluestone paths' dao flames burned the nine heavens, the world rumbling. A furnace was condensed, wrapping around Shi Hao. The symbols of three thousand great dao turned into flames, carrying out a refinement.
This place rumbled with dao sound, shaking heaven and earth.
This type of unrest was unprecedented, exceeding all of their predictions.
The Divine Striking Stone even set a formation to isolate this place, but boundless ripples still traveled in all directions, spreading outwards.
Hou...
After who knew how much time had passed, Shi Hao released a roar. Even though his entire body was burnt black, there was a forceful wave of vitality that surged outwards. His gaze looked even more like cold electricity.
He already got up. Even though he was seriously injured this time, his body in a terrible state, it wasn't as serious as they had imagined. The inside of his body was shining.
Soon after, a great power surged from inside outwards, recovering his injured body, the rays of light resplendent.
He felt more powerful than he had ever been before, advancing quite greatly. He didn't even use the Half Ginseng Fruit, yet his body was already roughly recovered, making it through the refinement of the flames.
A strand of immortal energy also appeared, wrapped around him like a true dragon, moving around his body, making him look aloof and transcendent. He succeeded!
Shi Hao didn't waste any time. He asked Qing Yi, the little rabbit and the others to send over the medicines. He quickly devoured them to recover his body to its optimal state.
It was because the ominous was already approaching, reaching outside the bluestone paths.
This time, it wasn't quite the same. It wasn't gray fog, but rather pitch-black, inklike streams of energy. There was a deathly stillness. It lacked life force. One could see that several figures were closing in.
The ancient lamp suspended in the sky, releasing chilly radiance.
This time, the number of figures that appeared was a bit different, unexpectedly less of them towering in the black fog.
"Did the difficulty decrease? Even heaven seems to want to help him." The Divine Striking Stone muttered, revealing a happy expression.
"Let's hope that is the case." Cao Yusheng said.
However, soon after, they closed their mouths, revealing a concentrated expression. They stared forward with disbelief.
The first figure that appeared was tall and sturdy, eyes resplendent. On his back was a pair of pitch black wings that carried golden patterns.
"Heavens, those are Kun Peng wings, only, the colors seems a bit off!" The little rabbit cried out with shock.
There was no mistaking that energy!
The second creature appeared, black-colored lightning wrapped around it, its body carrying pitch-black bloodstains, as if it had just withdrawn from the battlefield, the armor on its body full of holes.
"This… don't tell me that it is created in the Lightning Emperor's image… right?" The Divine Striking Stone stuttered.
The third creature walked out, its body curling with waves of heaven tribulation light.
The fourth creature walked out. It looked quite strange, its appeared to be changing from an elder to a child, continuously changing, as if it was undergoing reincarnation!
"Not good!"
When these people saw these four creatures, they were all horrified, because they were too powerful, all evolved to the limit!
Were there still more? They didn't know.
"It's not that bad. This time, I'll eliminate them all at once. I want to see if there will be more ominous events. If there are, then I'll wipe them all out!" Shi Hao said, his voice resounding, ringing through this world.
Right now, all three thousand bluestone paths were swaying in response.

Is it just me or do cases seem to get a bit boring? I love RGB as much as the next guy (maybe a bit more), but after a while I want to see some designs that do more for building than just adding more lights. I recently stumbled across Abko Ncore, and not only do they have a ton of RGB lights, but they have some really interesting design ideas on their Aura case.
How many cases do you know of that have the ability to fit twelve 120mm fans around the perimeter? The funny thing about the Aura is that it's advertised as a mid tower case! The rear panel has room for two 120mm fans and considering how the air flow design of the case works, that's a good option. Seeing four 120mm fans on the front is a bit excessive, but darned if it doesn't look cool. Where I really get excited about this case though, is in the option to have three fans on the bottom PSU shroud. Direct airflow to a component is one of the best way to help it stay cool, especially when you don't have liquid cooling. Graphics cards tend to get isolated in the corner and turbulence can allow warm air to continuously circulate around the card. With fans forcing air across the card(s) to the top back corner of the case, I can imagine it would be a huge help to gaming temperatures. The Abko Ncore Auro looks like a dream case to build in and there are plenty of features to like. The RGB LED control and radiator support are just a couple worth mentioning. I heard a rumor that the company is looking to expand its presence in the US market, and fingers are crossed that this case will end up for sale on Amazon or Newegg. Check out the link below for more information and definitely check out the rest of the site. Abko Ncore has quite a few interesting products. Catch ya' Later!
This case looks amazing, I like the RGB control.

Viktor Szigetvári: European People's Party tolerance of Orbán is shameful
June 8, 2015 10:54 am·
On Sunday, I exchanged a couple of emails with Viktor Szigetvári, chairman of Hungary's centre-left opposition Együtt party. (Együtt means 'Together' in Hungarian and the party was previously associated with Gordon Bajnai, Hungary's former prime minister.) I was pleased to see his activists engaged in civil disobedience, by defacing dozens of the xenophobic government billboards that now dot the landscape in Budapest and throughout Hungary. I asked Mr. Szigetvári, who previously served as a political adviser under Prime Ministers Péter Medgyessy and Ferenc Gyurcsány, whether the Orbán government is using these very demagogical billboards as a way to deflect attention from problem areas in domestic politics, or if Fidesz is attempting to win back right-wing voters who are slipping out of their hands and into Jobbik's embrace. Here's what Mr. Szigetvári had to say in our exchange…
Viktor Szigetvári. Photo: civilhetes.net
Viktor Orbán and Fidesz have two objectives in mind, when it comes to this shameful campaign. The rationale behind these two goals is the same, namely Fidesz's declining popularity, and the melting away of the majority that once stood behind the government. It is in Fidesz's interest to deflect the attention of the population away from the serious problem that most preoccupy society. These include areas such as the crisis in public health care and education, as well as unemployment.
Fidesz reacts to this situation by bringing forward issues, with which the surface layer of Hungarian society tends to agree. This is why they are campaigning–without any real action–on issues like the death penalty or against immigrants. All of this is also happening in connection with the fact that it is in Fidesz's interests to halt Jobbik's continued growth. They believe that they can achieve this by floating issues that are favoured by Jobbik's far-right voters, thus stopping the migration of Fidesz supporters further to the right.
In my opinion, a centrist strategy, such as that applied by former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, would be more effective. Mr. Orbán gave a number of speeches in recent days, in which he tried to correct his course, following pressure from the European People's Party (EPP). For instance, he spoke in favour of the European Union and of NATO, he made declarations against capital punishment and stood by former German chancellor Helmut Kohl. But below the surface of these speeches, Mr. Orbán still wants to defeat and overtake Jobbik from the right. It is the EPP's shame that it tolerates this duplicitous game.

Let's make it clear, what Orban is doing is committing a crime of circulating the rumor of a threat, – rumormongering – agitation, perturbation, raising social unrest, social destabilization and as such, he must be prosecuted and sentenced.

General remark: this is fantastic and I can't argue with any of the reasoning. I agree it might be distilled to a help page, though that takes effort — we've learned that help pages must be incredibly succinct and focused, or people stop reading.
Thanks for your kind feedback. I know I keep saying this or that should be in the Help/Guidelines section, but yeah, it all takes time and thought. And it seems that the admins & editors most active here, are also spread the most thin (hi Quasar :>).


These are official records of the Australian Military Contingents to the War in South Africa (1899 - 1902) (P.Murray 1911). Murray's record is a compilation of official Australian reports in regards to the war in South Africa, and was compiled as a memorial and remembrance of the war.
It is written as a reference book rather than a history of the war and as a result contains a huge amount of logically presented facts, figures and statistics about the war, as well as the contingents and men involved.

A bird in the hand… Don Wood of Denton inspects the eyes of a racing pigeon during the WFRPC show Saturday in Henrietta.
Bird in the hand: Raisers of racing pigeons flock to Henrietta
By Pioneer Sentinel on	 January 9, 2012 Features
Racing pigeon enthusiasts from all over North and West Texas gathered in Henrietta Saturday, Jan. 7, to prove their birds as the best in the area. The Wichita Falls Racing Pigeon Club hosted the show at Jeff Fitts' Barn on Spur 510.
Dick Briggs of Holliday, a member of the Wichita Falls area club in charge of Saturday's show, said 39 participants had entered, traveling from as far away as Amarillo and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The Wichita Falls club has 15 pigeon lofts, and includes members in Seymour, Holliday and Burkburnett. Bobby Alexander, a member from Henrietta, secured the location of the show. Briggs said the club chose Fitts' Barn, often used for private gatherings, because "it is one of the nicest facilities for the price" and for the location.
Racing pigeons are judged in three divisions based on a bird's experience, as well as in a special division called "eye sign".
Each division is divided into classes by the sex and age of the bird. Diploma classes, for birds that have competed in races, and Flown classes, for birds that have completed a course but may not have raced, are divided by distances ranging from 100-200 mile courses to courses of 500-plus miles. Age and breed divide the third division, for un-flown birds.
The eye sign classes are also divided by age. Eye sign is a theory among pigeon raisers that a bird's health can be determined by inspecting its eyes.
Like many, show participant Don Wood of Denton uses eye signs to choose pigeons for his loft. It's a system he learned from his mentor. Wood uses a jeweler's loupe to study the eye. He looks for clues to the ability of the bird through the shape of the pupil, make-up of the iris and strength of the eye muscles.
Louie Cargiulo of Cedar Hill also adds an extra element to the inspection of birds, especially when purchasing pigeons. Cargiulo opens a bird's beak and its mouth and throat. He's looking for "four or five" different things. He did not go into detail about what those things are.
Judges in a racing pigeon are looking for a number of common traits among the breeds, traits that allow the bird to perform or reproduce better.
David Hale of Wichita Falls, one of two judges at Saturday's event, demonstrated what makes a good pigeon. Hale said a pigeon should have balance, which is determined by how it lays in his hands. Its muscle should be soft and supple. The "flaps" of feathers on the wings should lay in a way that gives the least amount of wind resistance and the last three feathers on each wing should be evenly spaced to provide ventilation.
Hale also looks at the bird's stance while standing. He notes any deficiencies that would cause the bird's flight to suffer, such as "ribboning", or wavy edges, of the feathers.
Racing pigeons in flight average speeds of about 45 miles per hour over medium distances, but can reach even faster speeds in short range situations.

NABS Q1 Statistics Warn of Long-Term Impact of Pandemic on the Industry as Requests for Financial Support Rise
Trends and Insight
NABS experienced a 35% rise in demand for its services despite suffering a loss of £1.1million in income due to the pandemic
The long-term effects of the pandemic are taking hold on advertising and media workers, presenting particular danger to people's financial situations.
This situation is revealed by NABS' usage statistics for Q1 2021.
Requests for NABS' grants service were the number one reason for people calling, making up 39% of calls to the Advice Line, up six per cent YOY. This reflects the financial strain placed upon people in the industry following a year of increased job loss and furlough periods.
Emotional support calls came second, making up 29% of calls.
Redundancy calls have eased off since December 2020 and into Q1 this year, representing just 7% of calls in the last three months. While this is encouraging, the statistics relating to financial and emotional support above demonstrate a clear and pressing need to support our industry at what remains a critical time.
Demand for NABS' services has shifted from its Advice Line onto its coaching and Masterclasses (group coaching sessions). Advice Line calls have dropped by 29% YOY, although average calls per caller have risen by 21% this quarter. This reflects the complexity of issues created by people's home and work lives merging during the pandemic.
However, take-up of NABS' coaching and Masterclasses has increased sharply, as people seek help with topics including resilience, stress management, working parent life and wellbeing support. Demand for wellbeing coaching and stress coaching has increased by 50% and 42% respectively. Meanwhile, Masterclass attendance has risen by 30%.
Key themes coming through in NABS' coaching sessions include reflection, rethinking priorities and roles and making changes for the future, with some clients stating a need for change as their 'last chance for happiness'.
Diana Tickell, CEO, NABS, says: "The reduction in calls regarding redundancy is really encouraging for our industry, but we are seeing the longer-term challenges of the significant impact on individuals. It's critical that we remember to support the wellbeing of all our talent who are still coping with the many challenges of living and working through the pandemic."
In 2020 overall, NABS experienced a 35% rise in demand for its services despite suffering a loss of £1.1million in income due to the pandemic.

I don't know if it was from watching movies like when Hugh Jackman was pounding away on a command prompt in a high stress scene to hack into the DOD in under 60 seconds. Or maybe it stems from some deep ingrained rationalization I filed in my brain years ago that there is some long term ROI on knowing how to type commands (and abuse the tab key) over using the trusty point-and-click mouse. I'm not sure, but I do have some type of guilty pleasure with making something… anything… happen using the command prompt. I mean with all the wonderful tools out there with the shiny buttons and animated charts, I get fascinated with the simplicity of hitting the enter key after typed text to perform some virtual song and dance.
Which takes me to today, where my command-line weapon of choice is PowerShell. If you are a Visual Studio user then you are probably familiar with installing Nuget packages using the package console manager. What you may not be as familiar with is that the package manager console is a PowerShell shell. The package manager and Nuget Ecosystem highly leverage PowerShell. There are a lot of advanced things you can do with Nuget packages when understanding PowerShell especially when you get familiar with the Visual Studio IDE API, but I'll save talking about that for some other time. Right now I want to introduce the basics of how to take advantage of using PowerShell scripts in your development workflow.
First, let's prove you are in a PowerShell shell. Open up a project in Visual Studio and in your package manager console type the command "ls". You should see that the command "ls" works just like a command prompt listing your directories contents. Also, note that you are in the directory of the project. For those even less familiar with the command prompt and the "ls" command, go ahead and try America's favorite… the "ping" command. Ah yes, it works!
Run the command "$PROFIILE" to see the path to Visual Studio PowerShell Profile (i.e., the PowerShell Profile for the Nuget Package Manager). Open this file with your favorite text editor (TIP: You can quickly open this file by typing the command "ii $PROFILE". I'm liking Atom right now, so I run "atom $profile"). If you do have a profile, you can quickly create and open a new one with the command "notepad $PROFILE".
After saving your profile, go back to the package manager console and run the command ". $profile" to reload your profile.
Now run the command "whatIsTypical" to get the your virtual song and dance kick. Don't feel like typing, then just type "wha" and hit the tab key to autocomplete the command.

Search for 7-year-old boy left in forest by parents as punishment enters 4th day
Yamato Tanooka disappeared after his parents forced him out of the car and drove off.

The search for Yamato Tanooka, the seven-year-old Japanese boy whose parents abandoned him in a forest to punish him is now in its fourth day, prompting worst fears for his fate.
According to media reports, Yamato went missing(Opens in a new window) in a Hokkaido forest in northern Japan on Saturday evening after his parents forced him out of the car and drove off because he was misbehaving.
A search team of 150 rescue workers have been despatched to scour the area, which is known to be inhabited by bears, to look for the boy.
SEE ALSO: Photo of hostage Japanese journalist released nearly a year after he entered Syria
AP reported(Opens in a new window) that Yamato's parents initially denied that they had left their son behind and that he had gone missing while the family were picking wild vegetables. After much probing, the parents finally admitted to the authorities that Yamato was made to get out of the car and left behind to "discipline" him.
Yamato's parented alleged that the boy had earlier thrown rocks at people and cars while the family was down by the river, and therefore decided to teach him a lesson on the drive back home. When Yamato's father returned to the spot where he got off a few minutes later to retrieve him, he was nowhere to be found.
The boy's father has since given a statement to local reporters, and said that "I regret what I did to my child." He maintained that the reason he didn't tell the police truth in the beginning was due to embarrassment of the huge consequencee that came up from parents disciplining their child.
Since Yamato's disappearance made national headlines, netizens have expressed their outrage towards the boy's parents.
Tweet may have been deleted (opens in a new tab) (Opens in a new window)
The authorities are now looking into filing charges against Yamato's parents for child abandonment. The search has also intensified and expanded deeper into the forest.mash

From the signposted track head, marked as 'Finchs Line Walking Track', beside Wisemans Ferry Rd (about 1.8 km east of the car ferry), the walk follows the bush track, going up the hill. There is an information sign after a short distance and the track starts to climb, increasingly steeply, as it zigzags up a steep hill, along the path of Finchs Line Road. There are some beautiful views away from the track and a lot of ferns, grasstrees and vines surrounding the track. After winding up the hill for quite a while the walk arrives at an intersection with a management trail, marked with a sign indicating bikes must be walked (when going back down the hill).
Turn right: From the signpost, the walk follows the management trail steeply up the hill. After a while, the trail levels out and offers some fantastic views across the valleys on the northern side of the ridge. The trail then switches back to the Hawkesbury side of the ridge arrives at a beautiful rock outcrop with stunning views down across the Hawekesbury and Wisemans Ferry township.
Around 1.2km of this walk has short steep hills, whilst the remaining 970m has gentle hills with occasional steps.

Attack on civil liberties intensifies after London bombing
Posted in the database on Tuesday, July 19th, 2005 @ 11:18:20 MST (2427 views)
by Mike Ingram World Socialist Web Site
The British Labour government is advancing new repressive measures in the aftermath of the July 7 London bombings.
In a speech to the National Police Forum on July 16, Prime Minister Tony Blair called for a "battle of ideas and hearts and minds" to defeat what he called the fanatical beliefs and distortion of Islam that lay behind the London suicide bombings.
"In the end, it is by the power of argument, debate, true religious faith and true legitimate politics that we will defeat this threat," he concluded.
This was all that was in evidence of a political or ideological struggle, however. As always, Blair's flowery rhetoric is only window dressing for further attacks on civil rights in the name of pursuing the "war on terror."
Sweeping new laws are to be introduced that would ban "indirect incitement of terrorism" and make it illegal to provide or undergo "terrorist training."
Home Secretary Charles Clarke wrote to opposition spokesmen on July 15 outlining a proposed bill to be presented to the House of Commons when Parliament resumes in the autumn after its summer recess. It is expected to receive parliamentary ratification by next summer.
To avoid allegations of a knee-jerk reaction to the bombings, he stressed that the new counterterrorism legislation was already indicated in Labour's election manifesto.
The most dangerous aspect of the new legislation from the standpoint of civil liberties is a new law that would make "indirect incitement to commit terrorist acts" a criminal offence. Direct incitement is already a crime. The problem here is how "incitement" is defined.
In one of the few critical reports in the media, Sunday Herald correspondent Pennie Taylor asks, "What, precisely, is 'indirect incitement to terrorism'? Might it, for instance, be using the words: "As long as young people feel they have got no hope but to blow themselves up, you are never going to make progress'?"
Taylor points out that the quoted passage is from Blair's wife, Cherie, three years ago, speaking in reference to a Palestinian medical charity. "At the time there was mild outcry, but if she said the same thing now she could be facing imprisonment," Taylor writes.
The legislation will make it an offence to "endorse" suicide bombers, either publicly or privately. But what exactly constitutes "endorsement" is left extremely vague. When asked what might be construed as indirect incitement, Home Office Minister Hazel Blears said, "In some cases, the tone might tell you whether there is an intention to glorify [terrorist acts]".
Other aspects of the new legislation will make it an offence to receive "terrorist training" and allow people regarded as "undesirable" to be denied entry to Britain. The latter point has provoked concern over how it will be applied, particularly in light of the news that Zaki Badawi, chairman of the British Council of Mosques, who holds an honorary knighthood, was turned away from America last week with no explanation.
Other proposals already in place include control orders to allow police and security agencies to track suspects, including bans on who they can contact or meet, as well as electronic tagging and curfew orders that amount to being placed under house arrest. Identity cards, which have provoked widespread opposition both on grounds of costs and civil liberties, will be brought forward in the new parliament to take advantage of the political climate in the aftermath of the London bombings.
UK ministers have also been seeking to push through new laws on data retention that were rejected by the European Council.
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and Home Secretary Clarke used trips to Brussels to try to persuade members of the European Parliament to push through laws on data retention. The draft legislation, put forward in the aftermath of the Madrid train bombings last year by individual member states rather than the European Commission, would require communications service providers to keep user and traffic data for a minimum of a year and possibly longer.
The proposal was widely considered to be unworkable, expensive to implement, invasive and unnecessary. Its legality was also questioned, given that it conflicts with the Data Protection Act which states that companies and organisations must not keep unnecessary personal information.
According to a report in the Guardian, Clarke said, "The question of civil liberties has to be treated in a proportionate way. It is a different civil liberty question whether you have CCTV or not, or whether you retain telecommunications data, or whether you have biometrics on an ID card, to whether somebody is tortured in a country to which they are sent."
On July 12, Straw spoke to the European foreign affairs committee. He called for "a rebalancing of (where) the line between the rights of individuals and the rights of societies should lie."
He called on the European Union to rapidly implement its counter-terrorism action plan, ensure more effective police cooperation between member states and accelerate moves to give the authorities access to telephone and Internet data. "I believe that, provided there are proper safeguards, no one's civil liberties are threatened by retention and access to data, but the protection of everybody is more greatly enhanced," he said."
The meeting was also addressed by Chancellor Gordon Brown, who is pushing for powers to seize financial assets. "All 25 finance ministers affirmed as one today that just as there can be no safe haven for terrorists, so we will try to ensure that there is no safe haven for those who finance terrorism," he said.
Britain is leading the way in attacking civil liberties, but other European states are not far behind. French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy has vowed to deport "radical" Muslim clerics. Speaking after a meeting last week with his Spanish counterpart in Madrid, Sarkozy said he would seek the expulsion of imams in France "whose sermons are radical."
France has used a so-called safety clause in the Schengen open-border agreement between EU countries in order to close its borders. "If we don't reinforce border controls when around 50 people die in London, I don't know when I would," Sarkozy said.
Italy is planning to bring forward new measures, including extending the time a suspect may be held without charge from 12 to 24 hours, easier deportation, awarding residence permits to illegal immigrants who help police and easier access to Internet and mobile phone operators' data banks. The government is also seeking the right to question suspects without their lawyers being present.
Austria has said that from next January anyone coming under "sustained suspicion" of terrorist links may be immediately deported. The measure reportedly will apply to Muslim clergymen whose sermons represent a "danger to public security."
In Germany, Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries has called for cameras to be installed in underground railway stations and the creation of "anti-terrorism files" that would collect data about people suspected of carrying out terrorist activities.

This recipe for Salad - Blue Berry Jello Mold, by Effie Reimer, is from Family Recipes from Grandma Reimer, Grandma Bloxdorf , Grandma Ross and the rest of US!, one of the cookbooks created at FamilyCookbookProject.com. We help families or individuals create heirloom cookbook treasures.
Fold in a pint of sour cream, blueberries, and a squirt of lemon juice.
Pour in mold and jell.
This was a wild one to add - it was all written in one paragraph. What I will say, is grandma and grandpa had a very large garden in the backyard. One of this happiest times when I was little was going in the back and picking berries with grandpa. I think I ate more than I picked. Grandpa would pull a carrot for Erich and I, wipe it on his shirt. We would eat it with the green top on. I can still smell the garden, the shed, and the house.

March 29, 2014 intheplottingshedLeave a comment
listening to some fab blues music with my dearest one and just had a great idea for the next part of the Daffodils trilogy. These characters just won\'t leave me alone!
I\'ve finished the first draft of \'Peace Lily\'.
Today I wrote over 5000 words to meet a personal deadline. I\'m knackered!
I had a brief moment of celebration and now I\'m back on the wrack while I wait for my beta readers\' verdicts.
Shan\'t have any nails by the end of the weekend….
Oh, but it did feel good to write those two magic words:
Jury\'s out……………
After a few glitches, largely due to my technology paranoia, I hope I have now got the new editions for both Daffodils and The Twisted Vine in their correct proportions in paperback on Createspace, Amazon\'s sister site for physical books. Hopefully, once the proofs are approved (ouch!) I can put them up on Kindle for purchase and do a giveaway on Goodreads, which other authors tell me, is where the action is these days.
Meanwhile I can get on with the exciting bit, finishing Peace Lily and then going straight on to Speedwell, which will complete the trilogy.

Writing a book is hard. It\'s long. It\'s a lot of work.
It is also the best fun I know.
Tonight, in a flash, I suddenly knew how to finish Peace Lily and why I\'d chosen that name.
Not long to go now……….
My first talk about writing
TALK RE BOOKS
I have always wanted to write.
Ever since I could read, that\'s all I wanted to do but, you know, life just got in the way.
I made all the usual mistakes in life – well most of them really! but when my kids were born in the mid-eighties, I got really interested in complementary medicine. My own health hadn\'t been good and I wanted them to have only natural things. That lead me down a very long garden-like path of herbs and aromatherapy and lately, Reiki healing. (see http://www.gowerserenity.co.uk)
I\'ve loved it all but now that my kids have flown the nest, I\'ve finally had time to indulge my first passion. And I\'m loving it!
I wrote one book, based in the Welsh mountains, about drugs, called \'Getting High\'. I didn\'t think it good enough to publish but I\'d proved to myself I could finish a project. It sits in a drawer at home!
Then, my son, Tom, a sci-fi writer, put me on to a critique site run by the Arts Council, called \'YouWriteOn.com\'. On this website you post a piece of writing but, in order to receive comments on it, you have to critique someone else\'s. You have to review 8 before you know your score, so it motivates you to look at other people\'s work. I found this an illuminating experience and learned so much and was greatly encouraged by the response that my stories got. I made it into the top ten with all of them. It was a tremendous amount of work, as each piece was between 3000 and 7000 words long and I was reviewing at least 2 a week.
Through this website I made some wonderful writer friends who introduced me to various Facebook groups and, from that, into self-publishing on Amazon.
I published The Twisted Vine last year, told all my friends about it and let it go free a couple of times. I was astonished at how well it did. The research was easy because it was based on my own experiences of picking grapes in France in the 1980\'s. I thought – not everyone has had that experience, France is gorgeous, most people like to drink wine and would be interested to know how it\'s made – but it was only a chance meeting with another woman who had gone hitchhiking in France at the same time, that Armand le Clair was born. She had been attacked by a man who\'d given her a lift and had fought her way out of the car and found refuge in a Convent run by a silent order of nuns. Even the meal, with its exquisite peach sprinkled with tiny mint leaves, was true. This anecdote ignited my old notes and the story about the le Clair dynasty was born. I found it really exciting to write the mystery part. It felt like I was making a Rubik cube slot together perfectly – something I\'ve failed to do in real life!
Encouraged by the success of The Twisted Vine and the reviews by other authors especially, I dug out my old manuscript about the village where my children were born in Wiltshire.
We had an old neighbour there, Harry, who had a wooden leg. My son, Tom, was the first baby to have been born in this village for many years. It was a tiny place, deep in a valley, a bit like Parkmill, with a big mansion at the top of the hill above it. Harry told me how there only used to be a village pump for water on the little green, then a standpipe at the end of our row of cottages – they were tiny but very pretty houses for the workers – I called it \'Skid Row\' – and then the glorious day when sinks were installed in each lean-to kitchen with their own tap.
Once I began researching this era, it was unavoidable to leave out the cataclysmic event of WW1 and I found the research very moving and absorbing. I didn\'t want it to be about rich people. Downton Abbey came out at this time and I didn\'t want to compete with that. I wanted to explore what this era was like for ordinary people. And of course ordinary people still have fascinating lives with love affairs and yearnings, births and deaths, and so Katy and Jem emerged and battled their way through many ups and downs.
I found the way the British Army treated their troops particularly shocking and there\'s quite a bit about the experiences of foot soldiers, as well as the role of women in the WAAC.
So what started out as a happy memoir of picking grapes in The Twisted Vine turned into a murder mystery and my fascination with plumbing in the early 1900s turned into a war epic!
But that\'s the joy of writing. That\'s the reward for the hard slog of research, the discipline of working at it every day; it\'s the birth of characters who never existed before, who form in your head and come out through your fingers. It is when these characters start to run with your ideas that things get really exciting. I found, especially with the first two books, that the characters wouldn\'t behave in the way I had planned at all! They took the story and ran with it and I had to bend to their will.
I\'m also working on a ghost story, called \"The Rose Trail\" which explores the thin veil between those of us who are still alive and those who have passed away. I\'ve had some interesting experiences when giving healing to the bereaved, and after I\'ve lost people in my life, and I wanted to weave these into a mystery.
But I\'m writing the sequel to Daffodils now after lots of requests for it, so \"The Rose Trail\" is on the back burner, and the first draft of \"Peace Lily\" is almost finished.
Even though the characters are firmly embedded now, I am managing to keep a firmer grip. I seem to have got into a rhythm of writing.
I go into my shed, light my candle, read my angel cards and open my computer. I edit, re-read as much as I need to and then I wait. The method that seems to work for me, is to get behind the character\'s eyes of whoever\'s point of view I\'m in, and watch what happens, but I\'m keeping that story arc firmly in place. It\'s still wonderful when that delicious moment comes and I see them, as if they were in a film, taking the story to places I never imagined.
My Editor is my son Tom, and when I get stuck, I brainstorm with him. Sometimes I just need that little push of young energy to unlock the plot, find the twists and develop the characters through talking about them.
It never ceases to amaze me when we do this, as if the characters were real people. I hear myself saying, but Katy just wouldn\'t do that, or, Jem is handy and resourceful – he\'s easily capable of this, or that!
I can\'t see myself ever stopping now. And with the government pushing back the pension age, I really hope to be able to get an income stream from creating these stories out of my head, out of thin air, until I fall off my perch!
I love my clients and enjoy helping them but aromatherapy massage is hard, physical work. Writing, unless I lose my marbles, is something I hope to continue doing for the rest of my life.
The Twisted Vine and Daffodils are on http://www.amazon.co.uk or in paperback from http://www.feedaread.com
Peace Lily will be out this year with a third book in the trilogy, called Speedwell, will be coming out soon. Then I can get back to The Rose Trail which I hope will become a series based on a couple of psychic detectives.
Thanks for listening. You\'ve been a great audience.
#Winchester Writer\'s Festival
I\'m going. Nails bitten, cashflow dented but I\'ve booked.
I\'m going to meet #Lindsay Ashford, whose latest book \'The Mysterious Death of Miss Austen\' is a bestseller. And yes, I\'ve bought it and will make sure I\'ve finished reading it before I meet its author!
I\'m also meeting a Literary Agent, #Jenny Savill of Andrew Nurnberg Associates. I shall take the first chapter of \'Peace Lily\' along to show them and in my bag will be stuffed paperback copies of Daffodils and The Twisted Vine.
This feels very daring for a self published author – to dare to enter the hallowed halls of Traditional Publishing.
But I\'m curious.

Indie author interview for TV.htmhttp://www.indieauthorland.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wpid-Twisted-Vine-Cover-MEDIUM-WEB.jpg.jpeg
Roxanne is escaping from her cheating boyfriend but she still hasn't learned enough about men to avoid some awkward moments. She does find true love in this story, but not before she has uncovered a terrible crime in the beautiful French chateau where she is working. The lives of the rich family who live there are twisted and complex and Roxanne has to find all her courage before she can unravel the mystery that coils around the le Clair family like a snake.
We love stories like this.
The Twisted Vine is an unusual book. The research is genuine, based on my own experiences of picking grapes in France in the 1980′s. I met some wonderful people on my travels, but none quite so alarming as the charming, flawed Armand, whom Roxanne meets by chance.
Despite the crime you've mentioned, this is a love story, right?
Travel. Romantic Suspense.
Tell us about Roxanne.
Roxanne Rudge thought life was going okay. She had a decent, if boring job, and a nice boyfriend. Except he turned out not to be nice at all. So, after this discovery, she escapes to France for a summer of grape-picking. Roxanne loves to clash colours with her clothes and her spiky red hair is unconventional. She's a good singer and wants to learn to play the keyboard. Life hasn't been kind, her mother died of cancer when she was thirteen and she had to look after her Dad, whose drinking made him lose his job and his friends. This trip to France is the first time she's broken away to do her own thing. What she didn't expect was to get embroiled in murder, betrayal and to fall in love.
Murder! And you say this story is based on your own experiences?
Well, I did escape a disastrous marriage by going grape-picking but, luckily for me, I didn't meet a creep like Armand. Can't stay in tune when I sing, either. I think I love France a lot more than Roxanne does.
And no murders either, we assume.
Have you written any other books?
Yep, Daffodils is completely different! It's a tender love story set in World War One and shows how the war crept up on the working class life of a young couple, just starting out in life. They each serve at the Front in different ways. The impact of this global conflict on everybody in Europe was far reaching, especially for the role of women, and Daffodils aims to bring this out. Ultimately, though it's a love story, and promises hope for the future, however uncertain. I'm working on a sequel at the moment, which I hope will be book two of a trilogy.
Come tell us about it when it's done. Meanwhile, tell us about yourself.
I've wanted to write since I could read, aged seven but life got in the way. Now I'm loving indulging this passion. Professionally, I'm a therapist in a private practice.

Review from www.bookviral.com #strongly recommended!
Wonderfully atmospheric and enticingly mysterious, The Twisted Vine is the debut novel from author Alex Martin. An evocative mystery that takes a delightful foray into the heart of France, where the best laid plans take an unexpected turn. A journey of self-discovery, love and tragedy that elegantly contrasts the essence of French life with darker and infinitely more sinister overtures. Cleverly constructed and written with an acerbic pen, Martin transports her readers to a transient world that she imbues with life through inspired character development and an ear for authentic dialogue. It's a truly engaging tale which turns a simple journey into an all-encompassing adventure that tests the boundaries of courage and resourcefulness at a time of vulnerability.
Impeccable in detail, memorable and enthralling, The Twisted Vine is a notable debut from an author with a bright future ahead of her and is strongly recommended.

Flex Time – Employees are given flexibility on when they arrive at work and when they leave while still working a typical number of hours each day. This flexibility often makes it easier to take transit, find a carpool partner or vanpool.
Compressed Work Week – A compressed work week schedule permits employees the option of finishing their usual number of working hours in fewer days per week, or pay period. Employees might work four 10-hour days per week or work 80 hours in nine days. This configuration reduces peak hour congestion and can reduce employees' driving related stress.
Staggered Shifts – Employees arrival and departure times are staggered by anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours. The main purpose of this is to shift people out of the peak commuting period in order to relieve traffic congestion.


On 15 May 2011, a steel cylinder of 22m diameter and 40.5m high was vibrated into place in the seabed off the coast of China. This marked successful commencement on site of China's massive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao sea link project by the Joint Venture of China Communications Construction Co (CCCC). The cylinder is the first in the retaining structure of the west artificial island for the mega tunnel-bridge highway link. Our China Correspondent Zheng Yan Long reports on the project's design, purpose, procurement model, environmental protection measures, and costs.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) is another mega-project in China after the Three Gorges Dam project, the South to North Water Diversion scheme, the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway, the West to East Natural Gas Transmission project and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. It is the link that will connect the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to the Macao Special Administrative Region and the Zhuhai Chinese mainland. The 50km long link consists of three cable-stayed bridges, two artificial islands, a 6.7km immersed tube tunnel with associated viaducts, relevant link roads, and the necessary boundary crossing facilities (Fig 1). When the dual three-lane highway is complete, it will become the longest sea-crossing project in the world and will change fundamentally the transportation situation in the Pearl River Delta that currently relies heavily on waterborne traffic.
Design-build is the procurement model adopted by the governments for this mega project in order to commence construction without delay and promote the socio-economic development of the region. On 19 November 2010, the HZMB (Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge) Authority awarded the contract to a consortium led by the China Communications Construction Co with JV partners AECOM Asia Company Ltd, Shanghai Urban Construction (Group) Co, China Highway Planning and Design Institute Inc, COWI A/S, Shanghai Tunnel Engineering and Rail Transit Design and Research Institute and CCCC Fourth Harbor Engineering Investigation and Design Institute.
The HZMB will be of strategic importance to the further economic development of Hong Kong, Macao and the Western Pearl River Delta region (Western PRD). It will reduce transportation costs and travel time significantly and provide benefits far beyond the immediate area. With the HZMB, the Western PRD will fall within a reachable three-hour commuting radius of Hong Kong. This will enhance the attractiveness of the Western PRD to external investment, which is conducive to the upgrading of its industry structure. Hong Kong will benefit from this new economic hinterland, with its vast human and land resources, providing ample opportunities for Hong Kong businessmen to expand their operation in the mainland. It will also benefit various sectors in Hong Kong, including tourism, finance and commerce. In particular, it will enhance Hong Kong's position as a trade and logistics hub as commerce make use of the airport and container ports in Hong Kong for goods from the Western PRD and other regional areas of mainland China, including Western Guangdong and Guangxi.
The tunnel solution is adopted to provide access by container vessels of up to 300,000-tonne class to Pearl River Delta ports. The 6.7km long immersed tube lies under a maximum water depth of 44.5m and comprises 33 elements with a typical element dimension of 180m long x 37.95m wide x 11.5m high (Figs 2 and 3). Two artificial islands achieve the transitions between bridge and tunnel and will also be used as bases for project management, highway maintenance and rescue, tourism and sightseeing.
• mitigation measures to protect vulnerable environments.
To overcome these challenges, a large number of systems, specialized equipment and techniques have been, are, and will be developed.
The main bridge is located in the Conservation Region of Chinese White Dolphin in the Pearl River Estuary. Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize the water, air and noise disturbance to protect the dolphins. High density construction will be avoided during the breeding period; an exclusion zone will be established around areas of piling and dredging works; restrictions are applied to working vessels to reduce their disturbance to dolphin activities; silt curtains and closed-grab techniques will be used during dredging and dumping operations to minimize water quality degradation which might impair the immune system of the dolphins; percussive piling will be avoided and bubble curtains/jackets will be employed to prevent acoustic disturbance of the dolphins' sonar navigation system.
Furthermore, once dolphins are found within the zone, works will stop until they leave. All will be monitored independently by experienced independent dolphin specialists.
The overall estimated cost of the project is about RMB 73 billion or about US$ 10.7 billion. To have a better control over the future tolling of the link, to attract more traffic and enable better economic development of the Western PRD, the HZMB Project is financed by the three associated governments, instead of by the previously planned private sector.
The China's Mainland Government, the Macao SAR Government and the HKSAR Government will be responsible for the funding, construction and operation of the respective Boundary Crossing Facilities and link roads within their territories, while the HZMB Main Bridge, which accounts for RMB 34.7 billion of the total, will be constructed jointly by the three governments.
The three governments will altogether contribute RMB 15.73 billion, with the Mainland, HKSAR and Macao SAR contributing RMB 7 billion, RMB 6.75 billion and RMB 1.98 billion respectively. The balance will be financed by the procurement consortium led by the Bank of China.
Construction schedules for all elements of this massive project are programmed to meet a completion date in 2016.


You've worked hard to build your business. It has taken you years to get to where you are today, and you worry that in any given week everything could change. Just thinking about it makes you stomach knot up.
You live in California where it seems like everyone sues everyone over everything. Lawsuits happen all the time.
You fear that the more money people thinkyou have, the more tempting a target you are for a frivolous lawsuit. Add that to the fact that you sign multiple brand deals every year. What if something happens that prevents you from living up to the terms of an agreement? You're scared that a court might find you responsible for something that you couldn't do, even if you tried your best.
One lawsuit could end it all. A friend of your parents was sued and had to spend money he didn't have to defend himself. You're terrified that the same thing could happen to you and, as a result, you'd have to move out of your house. You know you need to protect yourself but you don't know what to do.
You wonder if there is a magic bullet that would protect you from lawsuits and contingency lawyers. Garlic stops vampires. Water melts witches. There must be something that defeats lawsuits. More realistically, you wonder if there is something, anything, you can do to protect yourself if you're sued.
You've heard that celebrities and other influencers use something called a loan out company. You are not sure what that is or whether you need one, but you don't want to wait until you've been slapped with a lawsuit before you take action. That would be too late.
Protect yourself before it's too late. Call us at (310) 451-5800 to schedule a meeting. We help people like you by setting up loan out companies.
