Laura MaeIndie-Go Interviewsbooks, indie author, indie writers, novels, WritingLeave a comment
I asked Mansu where he would like to interview:
On the Planet Aotomomus is a outdoor cafe. The cafe is Mokili Pasduro. I drink a cup of Rosafea tea. I brush away celery seed from my beige short sleeve velour shirt. A meteor hits the table. A barista descends from a cupboard of empty glasses in the kitchen. She changes into a robotic zebra mixed with possum and antelope genes. The cafe walls are covered with dried, seasoned rooster eggs and playpus skin, corduroy, pinto seeds.
Laura Mae enters the cafe in a gold silhouette hovercraft. Her hair blows left and right from the swirling helicopter blades from the ceiling. The cool air infuriates the manager. He chastises the barista for transforming during business hours. Laura sits and pulls up the interview questions from her phone. The barista and manager argue. Laura records the incident on her phone. The Aotomomus Police arrive in a robo airplane and arrest her violating intergalactic privacy laws.
Laura Mae: What inspired you to enter the world of writing?
Mansu Edwards: I wrote poems and submitted it to the Library of Congress. A vanity publisher contacted me about publishing a book. It didn't work out. I decided to go indie and here I am today. Also, I always liked using my imagination. It was the perfect medium to express creative and innovative concepts. I have to thank God for my talents and guiding my steps through the writing world.
L: How long have you been writing for?
M: 10 plus years.
L: What are you currently working on?
M: I'm currently writing a superhero story. It takes place in a fictional town. As of now, the story is untitled. I'm also working on the final chapter of The Emojis Vs. Punctuation Mark series.
L: Are there any books or authors who inspire your work?
M: Yes. Nathan McCall, Ralph Ellison, Franz Kafka, Gucci Mane, Kurt Vonnegut and Dennis Kimbro.
L: What has been the most challenging for you so far?
M: So far, my biggest challenge is choosing a story idea. I'll have numerous concepts. Then, I have to decide which idea is the best. Or what story to release first because I have so many good ideas.
L: Besides writing, what is it you like to do?
M: I like to listen to music, watch videos and listen to podcasts.
L: What would you say is your favorite book or series of all time? Why?
M: My favorite series of all time is Encyclopedia Brown. I read E.B. when I was a child. He solved mysteries. It was an entertaining series, the titles and illustrations were cool. I tried to read as many Encyclopedia Brown books as I could. Btw, how many books are in the series?
L: Are there any regrets you have or anything you wish you knew sooner?
M: I don't have any regrets. I feel that my mistakes and risk taking led me to my writing journey. Sometimes the circuitous route leads to self discovery and a amazing adventure.
L: In a brief statement, have you self-published or traditionally published? What was your experience?
M: I'm a self-published author. It's fun. It's time consuming. It's rewarding. I didn't have to worry about pleasing a Agent or Editor. I can experiment and innovate. I had to wear different hats (I still do). When I first started, I created the illustrations, then, I hired friends and Freelancers. It was mostly on the job training. I received tips and resources from strangers and the Internet. I sold books, received positive and negative feedback. I've taken everything in stride. I can't please everyone. As long as I continue to grow as a Writer/Author then I'll be fine. God got me.
L: What are you currently reading?
M: The Eye Of Minds.
L: What genre do you read?
M: I read Fiction.
L: What does a typical day of writing look like for you? Any rituals or 'must-haves'?
M: I eat and drink (non-alcoholic beverages) before or during the writing process. I try not to force the story. I'll go to the store, take a nap or do something else to take my mind off the story.
L: Any songs or type of music you need to listen to when you write?
M: I don't always listen to music when I write. If I do decide to listen to music it's Jazz, R&B or anything soothing and relaxing.
L: What's a word or phrase that people say that always irritates you?
M: "That sounds about right". Either it's right or it's not.
L: Where would you say you get most of your inspiration?
M: I get most of my inspiration from life, the mundane and interesting aspects.
L: For aspiring writers out there, what would be the best advice you want them to know?
M: My best piece of advice is to experiment with different concepts and ideas. You never know what people will enjoy. Also, it prevents monotony and boredom. Have fun with experimentation. If it doesn't work, it's cool. You have more books in the future. Never look at it as a failure. Keep being creative and innovative. It's the only way you'll be remembered.

Sparrows Review


What is Aspire Atlantis 2 (V2) Sub Ohm Tank?
The Aspire Atlantis 2 (V2) Sub Ohm Tank is New for April 2015 and is new and improved version of the original Atlantis sub-ohm tank by Aspire - featuring improved coils, mouth piece and airfow and larger juice capacity - 3ml. Its diameter is 22mm.
The Aspire Atlantis 2 (V2) Sub Ohm Tank comes with three atomisers with resistances of 0.3 (new), 0.5 and 1.0 ohm (new). Made from food-grade Stainless Steel and Pyrex Glass with improved adjustable airflow control to easily control the vape flow. Unique anti-leak design and mouth piece cooling.
The Aspire Atlantis 2 tank is great for for sub-ohm cloud chasing without the hassle of having to rebuild your own coil.
Due to the low resistance coils available for the Aspire Atlantis 2, it is only compatible with high-powered high-amp high-drain batteries, and you do need a powerful battery with this tank - low wattage/ampage batteries are not powerful enough and would over-heat. DO NOT continue if your battery is getting hot.
Also, use zero or low nicotine e-liquids if you're into making vast amounts of vapour clouds. Medium or high nicotine liquids will burn harshly and not taste nice or may make you feel ill. For the biggest clouds you need a thicker e-liquid with a very high % of Vegetable Glycerine like Liqua. Also start with the smallest airflow control hole and work up.
We recommend using it with the sub ohm batteries like Aspire Sub Ohm, eLeaf iStick, Innokin iTaste MVP, Kanger KBOX etc.
If you do not know which battery to use - please ask us or learn about batteries before using the Atlantis 2 tank.
Using the Aspire Atlantis 2 will significantly increase your eLiquid consumption - there is no magic folks - bigger cloud requires more eLiquid.
New temperature control hardware. Valve on top of tank can be rotated to increase or reduce external air.
Lower Ohm coil, more vapor!
Significant update on the mouth tip, dual air control system.
Burning mouthpiece problem solved! More vapor with better taste.
Compatible with previous version Atlantis coil.
3ml e-liquid capacity (Atlantis 1 is 2ml).
Mouth piece has a new adjustable cooling system.
Wider drip tip aperture (than Atlantis 1) for enhanced vapour flow.
Replaceable bottom vertical coils available are 0.3 ohm (needs 70 to 80 watts), 0.5ohm (needs 20 to 30 watts) and 1.0ohm.
Bottom vertical coils are patented Aspire BVC technology.
Coils have an average lifespan of 10 to 20 days.
Food grade stainless steel body.
This tank uses a sub-ohm resistance atomizer. It will only work on a mechanical mod or a mod capable of firing an atomizer of 0.5ohm or lower. You must be sure that your mod AND batteries can handle SUB OHM coils. If you're using a regulated mod, make sure it can handle the amps. For mechanical mod users, please use 30 Amp batteries or higher. Use the OHMS LAW CALCULATOR, CHECK YOUR AMPS, and be safe! Any questions please contact us by email.
The Aspire Atlantis BVC Coils are quite revolutionary, they use the same vertical coil technology as the Aspire Nautilus Coils, but they are the first coils made by Aspire to be sub ohm coils. The Aspire Atlantis BVC Coils also use wire made in the USA.
As you may know already, most vaping products are being copied now a days, these "clones" have become a major issue for the industry and they can be found everywhere in Australia. We have tested many competing websites in Australia and USA and many of them are selling Kanger and Aspire clones without telling their customers - this gives them an unfair competing advantage and is deceitful to their customers. Thankfully Aspire, Kanger and others have put in place a security authenticity code on their products to prevent counterfeiting. diKudi strongly support this initiative and we hope that all manufacturers will implement a similar mechanism moving forward. diKudi customers can be assured that if we ever sell a clone product it will be clearly labelled as such in the product name and its description.

How are you caring for your patients with mental health issues?
Tags: Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy, Pharmacy U
The photo was taken at Pharmacy U Toronto. Pharmacists Brandon and Hugh Toner speak with one of the attendees about care for patients with mental health issues.
PharmacyU.ca talked with pharmacist father and son, Hugh and Brandon Toner of Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Sydney, Nova Scotia (left), in a wide-ranging conversation about the changing world of pharmacy.
Do you think pharmacists are beginning to wake up to their potential?
Hugh Toner: They're an untapped resource in some areas. I think pharmacists are very special. I think they're unique, they're funny, they're smart, they jump through a lot of hoops. You have to be very smart to get into any pharmacy school in Canada. They're intuitive, they're smart, they have to be well-rounded, they have to have good intention. It's not about a lack of capacity or willingness. It's just a very challenging time, and sometimes there are things coming at us from all sides, and they're things beyond our control that can challenge or derail us. Generally speaking, pharmacists are wonderful people, they're caring, they're planted in the middle of a hospital or a community setting and I think that the future looks extremely bright because they're well positioned for where we're going to go.
Are pharmacists becoming more aware of their ability to help patients?
Hugh: I think the world's waking up. You see yoga and meditation on the front page of magazines. The world's become so stressed out, so busy, we can't leave our house and leave our cellphone on the counter without driving back to get it. It's a busy old world out there. Pharmacists are the recipients of prescriptions. We modify prescriptions, there are all sorts of new biologics and biosimilars coming on the market, it's an unending pipeline, and it's becoming more complicated all the time. The irony of all that is that we need to demystify pharmacy, let the dust settle, and create a place of presence where we put the patient at the centre of care.
Brandon, did you always plan to go into pharmacy with your father?
Brandon: That was never the master plan, but it just fell into place that way. And that's given us an opportunity to align the old and the new, from his perspective on patient care from being a pharmacist for 30 years to me, with a modern view of what pharmacy practice could be, and to try and blend those worlds. We've spent a lot of time trying to create that sense of alignment and a vision of what we want for the profession and for our practice specifically in Sydney, Nova Scotia.
How have things changed?
Brandon: They have changed and continue to change a lot, and I think it's wonderful. Where we're at specifically now, in the last three to five years, the ideas that seem to be surfacing…it seems like an exciting time to me. When I was going through school, the concept of patient care was a little bit like a unicorn, the ideal gold standard of practice, but you knew very well that it was going to be very challenging to incorporate that into your day to day practice when you graduated. Hard to blend that theoretical gold standard magical unicorn land with the realities of the constraints of business and practice. What I'm seeing now is strategies, techniques and tangible initiatives to breed a sense of community for ideas to come together, to bring things to actual fruition. I'm getting a sense of urgency and believability in the profession right now that things can be better and more professional.
Patient-centredness is finally something the government is supporting financially. Is that making a difference for pharmacists?
Brandon: I think so. I think payments models will continue to shift. One thing I find very interesting is that pharmacy seems to have been waiting for government to make the first move. It's – we're not going to do something unless we're paid for it. And governments are saying we're not going to do something unless it's demonstrated. We get a bit of a stalemate. We need really well-funded pilot projects, and we've done a great job here, but sometimes it's still not enough for government to get a visual for what can be accomplished. Sometimes I don't think pharmacy knows what can be accomplished. We're still having a bit of an identity crisis and we don't know where we're going ourselves. What I'd like to see happen is ways to navigate the existing financial frameworks to provide patient-centred care, like the Appointment-Based Model. There are pharmacies using it who are less reliant on dispensing fees. I think that's going to be our frontier, navigating and getting back to the basics. We assess, we prioritize drug-related problems, we make recommendations and we follow up on them. A lot of that is the basics of pharmacy and always has been, but it was never really practised in reality to its full potential, getting a comprehensive discussion around medication and goals.
So what are you doing differently?
Hugh: We're thinking differently. That's the biggest thing. In order to be successful in life you have to do the right thing long enough, and everything you do – all your actions – have to stem from your thoughts. And we've been doing a lot of thinking, a lot of talking, a lot of masterminding, and dreaming and talking and shaping.
Brandon: I think there's maybe too much focus on what are you doing. Before the doing is the thought. Eventually enough is enough and things just naturally happen. I think that's the best: when it can be more inspired action and you can't NOT change your practice, rather than, I need to change my practice because my company says you must change your practice or my bottom line says so. I think the change needs to come from the internal, and what the next step looks like to me is, let's keep doing this, let's keep meeting, let's keep creating the conversation.
Hugh: We're talking about competition. There's always enough for everybody, and what you do is you focus on you and what you're doing and you focus on what you can do to do better.
Brandon: it's not a simple problem, it's not a simple solution, so that's why I like the discussion. Let's just keep talking and eventually the right ideas resonate and take hold. How can they not?

DO WE HAVE TOO MUCH OF WHAT AMERICAN CONSUMERS DON'T WANT?
By Jay Townley
The flip side of having too much of what customers do not want is having too little of what they do want.
It looks to HPS as if there is an imbalance in current finished goods inventory. Even if the energy crisis drives gas prices up so high that it triggers another so called "bike boom," and consumer demand for bicycles surges again, there does not appear to be sufficient balance to the inventory, up and down the product categories and price points, to meet that demand if it does materialize. I will add that HPS currently gives this possibility a low probability.
Nor is there a steady flow of product from the supply chain to reliably meet a return to lower pre-pandemic demand because of component availability, shifts in consumer preferences, and the inventory already in the hands of wholesalers, brands and retailers. HPS currently believes this has a high probability.
From what HPS has gleaned from the marketplace, wholesale bicycle and e-bike unit inventory has increased anywhere from 40 to 43-percent during the first four months of this year while consumer demand has declined.
Chart A is from Bloomberg and shows overall U.S. companies increasing inventories in late 2021 to get around supply chain delays, and to be able to meet what was perceived as consumer demand during the holidays and going into 2022. Available NPD data generally-shows the same trend for the American bicycle and e-bike business.
This should not come as a surprise. We have been reporting this inventory build in the NBDA Supply Chain Nightmare webinars in October and December, and again in February and early April of this year. Recordings of these webinars are available from www.nbda.com.
We also have reported that as brands and retailers switched to just-in-case (JIC) inventory management, consumers held back, and consumer demand for bicycles and e-bikes began to recede. Again, available NPD data generally shows the same trends for regular bicycles, while dollar value shows an increase in e-bikes. We don't disagree that dollars show an increase in e-bikes, but do advise that both units and dollars have to be analyzed, as well as the combined units and dollars for regular bicycles and e-bikes, to measure both inventory and retail sales to consumers.
We have also pointed out during the four NBDA Supply Chain Nightmare webinars that the supply of bicycles and e-bikes will increase even as demand weakens because of what is in transit.
Today, some 60 ships with imports from Asia, including bicycles and e-bikes, are waiting to be unloaded at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, according to the Marine Exchange of Southern California. This represents "floating inventory," and while vessels are down from the January peak of 109, the current number of container ships waiting to get into the two ports are still about triple the pre-pandemic norm.
Chart B, also from Bloomberg, shows the rapid decline in consumer sentiment as inflation rates increased during the last quarter of 2021 and the first four-months of this year, corresponding to the reports HPS has conveyed of declining bike shop consumer traffic during the four NBDA webinars previously referenced.
What the NBDA has recognized with its Bicycle Buying Consumer Research Study is that households also hold excess inventories. While shifting to shopping and buying online while staying at home during the pandemic, Americans bought lots of bicycles, e-bikes, exercise equipment, televisions, computer games, furniture and kitchen appliances. That pushed up spending on durable goods 18% last year. It will be years before those goods wear out, and the NBDA has asked consumers who bought bicycles and b-bikes during the pandemic what their purchasing intentions are in the future.
Meanwhile, the American bicycle and e-bike business needs to prepare and plan for the up-side and down-side of profit-killing markdowns as businesses work off excess inventories, as in turn the U.S. economy contracts in the face of inflationary pressure.
Chart C, the final chart from Bloomberg, shows the reason for this article. On April 28 the U.S. economy contracted for the first time since the pandemic began during the first quarter of 2020.
Some economists attribute this "surprise shrinkage" in the economy, at least in part, to the beginning of liquidation of bloated inventories held by manufacturers, assemblers, wholesalers, and retailers in the U.S. They also predict that this inventory liquidation has only just begun.
And, the U.S. bicycle and e-bike business still has to deal with lead times for name brand components. I just looked at the latest lead times for Shimano, and their order book is sold out into 2023, as has been reported in the trade press. This has created a problem in the supply of up-market bicycles and e-bikes for the U.S. market, and is just one of the "imbalances" we are referencing that are creating shortage of some models of some brands in the face of "bloated" finished goods inventories in the supply chain.
It seems to boil down to that if demand surges for bicycles and e-bikes, there will not be enough of what consumers want. If there is no surge, but a return to lower pre-pandemic demand, there will be too much inventory, but still not enough of what consumers demand.
While the situation may change, it appears that the American bicycle business will be in a constant state of disruption and turmoil in 2022 and probably into 2023.
As always, feel free to contact me with your comments and questions: jay@jayhumanpoweredsolutions.com.
RETAILERS AND CONSUMERS SHOULD "ONLY BUY E-BIKES THAT HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED"
IS INVENTORY EVIL? WILL WE SOON BE SWAMPED WITH TOO MUCH STUFF?

Is there a technique for removing glued items on a quilt? I haven't appliqued yet, just glued down some of the pieces.
Fabric glue that dries clear.
Is it even possible to remove fabric glue? Would washing an item in hot water work??
Check the label and see what it says about removing it. Whatever you do, you may want to try it out on some scrap fabrics glued together first.
Does it say "permanent"? It would help if you could tell us the brand name. Also, of you can - google - "how to remove (the name) glue?" or see if there is an "address" on the container to send a message to them!
There are 2 kinds of fabric glue, one that is easily removed by washing, and one that is permanent and won't wash out at all. Hopefully you used the first kind.
Thank you.I'll check it out.
Most glues are PVA which means they are water based. Soaking with water (putting a wet cloth on both sides of glued area) should moisten it enough to take it off. A drop of dish soap will hurry up the process. I have the reverse problem when building my terrain because when I use water based paints too heavily it will re-wet my glue and loosen it!
Would you recommend submerging the entire quilt in cold water to soak overnight? There are several areas with glued itams to be removed.
Is it actually quilted? If not, I would not submerge. I would spritz the areas with water and let them sit, then gently pull off the glued items. If it's water-based glue, this should work. If it doesn't work, you might consider whether to use something stronger, such as Goo Gone, Goof Off, acetone, or alcohol, or maybe reconsider pulling the appliques off at all.
If it is a washable glue can you just peel the pieces off and re-glue where you want them? I use Roxannes glue baste if all the time , also ELmers school glue sticks. Any marks it leaves come out when I wash it when it i finished.
I once put a Laura Heine creation with Fabric Fuse Glue on a background that was in her kit. I believe the Fabric Fuse is suppose to be permanent. I decided I just couldn't live with the background and was ready to trim around the applique and put it on another background. Well, I tried to gently tug the applique off and it worked! The background still had glue on it where the applique was.
I was able to remove the bears from my quilt very easily. The minute the quilt was submerged in cold water, they literally fell off! So now I can start over usiing Batik!
Had used Aleene's Original Tacky glue, which is water soluble & excellent on fabric. Dries clear.

She explained that the solution to the country's problem is in agriculture.
"Maraming may opinyon. Tayo may solusyon. Keri 'yan," Marcos said.

A third type of volcanic oceanic island is formed over volcanic hotspots. A hotspot is more or less stationary relative to the moving tectonic plate above it, so a chain of islands results as the plate drifts. Over long periods of time, this type of island is eventually "drowned" by isostatic adjustment and eroded, becoming a seamount. Plate movement across a hot-spot produces a line of islands oriented in the direction of the plate movement. An example is the Hawaiian Islands, from Hawaii to Kure, which continue beneath the sea surface in a more northerly direction as the Emperor Seamounts. Another chain with similar orientation is the Tuamotu Archipelago; its older, northerly trend is the Line Islands. The southernmost chain is the Austral Islands, with its northerly trending part the atolls in the nation of Tuvalu. Tristan da Cunha is an example of a hotspot volcano in the Atlantic Ocean. Another hotspot in the Atlantic is the island of Surtsey, which was formed in 1963.
The team track down Simon (Traveler 0004), a specialist who developed the consciousness transfer technology in the future, who was sent into a host body that developed schizophrenia after arrival. Simon, who set up the Travelers' communications system in the 21st, is haunted by hallucinations of Vincent, who previously convinced an institutionalized Simon that the Director wanted him to next build transfer technology in the 21st.
Philip, while under the influence of drugs, commits to memory an anti-viral formula sent via messenger. The information is passed on to fellow Traveler Derek via Jenny so it can be synthesized and distributed to other Traveler teams as well as people targeted to be saved in order to minimize the spread and mutation of a flu like virus that historically killed 70,000 people. However, two weeks after dissemination, people around the world start getting sick with a virus even more dangerous than the original one. With no contact from the Director, and the death toll rising, Marcy and the team rush to find a solution before it's too late.

On May 28, 2006, it was announced that Thompson was leaving the band. Islands decided to continue on without Thompson, and a European tour was scheduled, and further recordings confirmed. The band later emerged the following month for two surprise appearances in Montreal, performing with a new lineup including new drummer Aaron Harris and multi-instrumentalist Kate Perkins, before departing for Europe the following week.

That network can island off from the larger grid and run on its own, at least for a limited time, if there is a blackout. — David Roberts, Vox, "Clean energy technologies threaten to overwhelm the grid. Here's how it can adapt.," 30 Nov. 2018 The 21 percent that nest on the Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean and the Falkland and Tierra del Fuego islands close to South America would find their nesting grounds altered and would have to travel farther to find food and so might relocate. — Karen Weintraub, New York Times, "King Penguins Are Endangered by Warmer Seas," 26 Feb. 2018 In the offshore world, wealthy people and corporations use the banking systems of low-tax countries, often island nations in the Caribbean, to shield their assets from taxing authorities in their home countries. — David Heinzmann, chicagotribune.com, "Tribune exclusive: Pritzker's secret offshore holdings revealed in Chicago duck boat land deal," 14 Mar. 2018 Critics have said the exemption allowed UBS Group AG to sell funds to island residents that later suffered big losses, wiping out many clients' life savings. — Ryan Tracy, WSJ, "Lawmakers Expand Scope of Senate Bank-Deregulation Bill," 7 Mar. 2018 To find out why, researchers set out cameras to record clownfish behaviors near North Solitary and Lord Howe islands along Australia's east coast. — Jennifer Leman, Science | AAAS, "Why some clownfish are boring," 14 Dec. 2017 Authorities were letting residents and business owners to return to Upper Keys islands close to the mainland Tuesday morning, but people from the Lower Keys faced a longer wait. — Jennifer Kay And Doug Ferguson, chicagotribune.com, "Florida makes slow moves toward recovery after Hurricane Irma," 12 Sep. 2017 Dr Toomey's findings stem from his analysis of sediment cores collected near the Dry Tortugas, islands off Florida's coast. — The Economist, "PalaeoclimatologyTraces of old hurricanes show how hard climate science is," 19 Oct. 2017 The island was largely spared the widespread damage caused by Hurricane Irma on the chain's St. Thomas and St. John islands just two weeks ago. — Carlisle Jno Baptiste And Danica Coto, chicagotribune.com, "Hurricane Maria aims at Puerto Rico after slamming Dominica," 19 Sep. 2017
Protocol Omega means the Director is no longer intervening in this timeline as either the Traveler program succeeded in its mission or it has totally failed. When Jeff visits Marcy to offer his condolences, she realizes he has been overwritten by 001 and eventually kills herself to prevent him obtaining Ellis' backdoor code from her brain. 001 uploades his consciousness to the internet, enabling him to exist into the future and ultimately gain control. He sends the consciousnesses of his followers into world leaders, provoking the Russians and Chinese to launch nuclear warheads against the US. Yates blames MacLaren and his team for hastening, rather than preventing, the end of mankind. MacLaren uses 001's machine to send his mind back to the August 2001 day when his host first met Kat. He tells her to give John a second chance, later drops off a warning about Helios, then on September 11 arrives at the same office high in the World Trade Center a few minutes before 001's expected arrival, meant to kick off the Traveler program. MacLaren sends an email, knowing the Director will find it, stating: "Traveler program failed. Do not send 001." MacLaren stays in the office – as 001 was supposed to do in the original plan – to await the attacks. The non-Traveler Marcy, showing no signs of hydrocephalus and working as a nurse, happens to sit beside David on a bus, and he strikes up a conversation, renewing their inevitable connection for a third time. The Director decides that Traveler program version one has failed, and begins version two...
When historic rainfall pummeled California last February, the damage to Big Sur was severe. Mudslides cut off access to Highway 1, the region's only thoroughfare, from the south; then a crack ripped through the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge, blocking the northern end. Almost overnight, this 90-odd-mile stretch of craggy coastline — long beloved for its sense of remoteness — became an island. Nearly a year later, Big Sur is stirring back to life. The bridge has been replaced and a major slide has been cleared. After an elaborate renovation, the 160-acre Ventana Big Sur has reopened as the first Alila property in the U.S. — and is a luxurious rival to Post Ranch. The place is a stunner, whether you're facing a forested canyon from the pool or enjoying pink and orange sunsets from the terrace. In addition to the plush ocean-view suites, clad in weathered wood, there are now glamping tents nearby that marry rusticity and comfort, with amenities like luxury linens and fire pits. —Jonah Weiner
Almost all of the Earth's islands are natural and have been formed by tectonic forces or volcanic eruptions. However, artificial (man-made) islands also exist, such as the island in Osaka Bay off the Japanese island of Honshu, on which Kansai International Airport is located. Artificial islands can be built using natural materials (e.g., earth, rock, or sand) or artificial ones (e.g., concrete slabs or recycled waste).[14][15] Sometimes natural islands are artificially enlarged, such as Vasilyevsky Island in the Russian city of St. Petersburg, which had its western shore extended westward by some 0.5 km in the construction of the Passenger Port of St. Petersburg.[16]
Travelers was founded in 1864 in Hartford. It was founded to provide travel insurance to railroad travelers at a time when travel was far more risky and dangerous than today, hence the name. Along the way it had many industry firsts, including the first automobile policy, the first commercial airline policy, and the first policy for space travel.[9] In 1954 it established the world's first privately owned weather research facility, the Travelers Weather Research Center, the first organization to make weather predictions using probabilities ("20% chance of rain"). By the early 1990s, Travelers was predominantly a general property and casualty insurer that also happened to do some travel insurance on the side, and it quietly exited its original business in 1994. What was left of Travelers' travel insurance business was acquired by three former employees and is now known as Travel Insured International, a Crum and Forster Company.
Tel Aviv has attracted a lot of attention for its nightlife and creative culinary scene in recent years. These days its center of gravity has shifted south, to the site of the ancient port town of Jaffa (technically part of the city itself). This month, the Setai opens in a former Ottoman prison; a new W Hotel housed in a 19th-century former convent and pilgrims' hospice is scheduled to open in March. It's just the latest in a growing list of upscale hotels, restaurants, and boutiques to arrive among the winding streets of this former fishing village. Jaffa's once-shabby flea market is now populated by a number of high-end antique dealerships, which sit alongside trendy cafés and bars — many offering live music into the night. Don't miss Maskit, an iconic Israeli fashion house known for its embroidery that has been recently reincarnated after closing in the 1990s. Numerous interesting chefs have also set up shop among Jaffa's churches, mosques, and archaeological sites. Try Beit Kandinof, a restaurant housed in a 17th-century building, where creative dishes like artichoke-and-pesto bruschetta are served alongside local art exhibits. —Sara Toth Stub
In an interview with Exclaim!, Nick Thorburn explained that the overhauled lineup was a product of his desire to try new things. "That's important to me ― to be able to constantly try new things. That's why this record's largely informed by electronic stuff like drum machines, sequencing, and programming, which really scales it back from the last record." [2] Thompson once again left the band prior to the summer 2010 tour, and was again replaced by Aaron Harris.
Philip is ordered by the Director to attend an "update" with various other Historians, which is where the altered timeline's history is imprinted onto their minds, but it comes with physical and emotional consequences. Trevor tries to help a former football teammate with past trauma. Hall returns from prison and has a new mission assigned to him from the Director. Kat has complications with the pregnancy.
In 1998, the Travelers Group merged with Citicorp to form Citigroup.[10] However, the synergies between the banking and insurance arms of the company did not work as well as planned, so Citigroup spun off Travelers Property and Casualty into a subsidiary company in 2002,[12] although it kept the red umbrella logo. Three years later, Citigroup sold Travelers Life & Annuity to MetLife.[13] In 2003, Travelers bought renewal rights for Royal & SunAlliance Personal Insurance and Commercial businesses.[14][15]

A century ago, Shanghai was China's star city, a cosmopolitan center of art, technology, and finance. Today, it's reclaiming that mantle, parlaying the economic boom that began in the 1990s into a world-class array of cultural and culinary attractions. On the West Bund riverfront, Tank Shanghai will transform disused oil tanks into a sprawling arts complex with a gallery, an education center, and parks when it's completed later this year. Farther north, the Norman Foster and Thomas Heatherwick–designed Fosun Foundation, with its façade of shifting bronze cylinders, began hosting performances and art shows last fall. The North Bund is being redeveloped with a park linking it to a new lifestyle development that's anchored by the city's first W Hotel. In the residential Minhang district, Cordis debuted in May, and Amanyangyun will open nearby after relocating Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, as well as 10,000 ancient camphor trees, from Jiangxi province. More luxury stays are still to come in 2018, including the Middle House, the Bulgari, and the Edition. —Samantha Culp
MacLaren and Forbes stake out a criminal transaction that becomes a shootout. MacLaren's team is directed to assist an older traveler team: the incident's survivors, whose leader, Rick Hall, reveals that the deal was the assigned transfer of a device with a Russian traveler team. MacLaren is shocked by the violence between teams and by Hall's jadedness. Hall's teammates, Carter and Luca, are both dying, but Marcy saves Luca by transfusing Carter's blood; Marcy suspects Luca is her brother due to his suffering from night terrors. Hall demands that he become the leader of a merged team, and demands MacLaren kill Forbes to prevent their exposure. MacLaren and Forbes arrest Hall and Luca, and the team transfers the device. Trevor quits football to focus on his grades, but is grounded. Ray demands more gambling information from Philip. Carly rebukes Jeff, who harasses Marcy. Carly and MacLaren sleep together.
Grenada, known as Spice Island, remains one of the Caribbean's under-the-radar gems, even though it's got what every traveler wants: uncrowded beaches, preserved rain forests, and a lively local culture and cuisine. The island, which was spared from last fall's brutal hurricane season, is poised to attract new luxury travelers when the Silversands Hotel opens in March 2018. The first major resort to open on Grand Anse Beach in 25 years, Silversands will offer 43 rooms and suites, nine villas, and the longest pool in the Caribbean. After a recent renovation, the beloved Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel is now part of Relais & Châteaux, only the fifth hotel in the Caribbean to be invited to join the celebrated hotel group. Getting to the island is a cinch — JetBlue added daily service from New York City last year, and Grenada is now a port of call for 33 new cruise ships — and visitors will soon have even more options for high-end stays, with Kimpton Kawana Bay and the Levera Beach Resort both in the works. —Devorah Lev-Tov

Political strife and economic woes have taken a toll on Egypt's tourism industry in recent years, but travelers will soon have a new reason to visit. On the arid plains of Giza not far from the Great Pyramids, a modern monument is under construction that's more than two decades and nearly $1 billion in the making. The Grand Egyptian Museum will showcase the finest treasures of the pharaohs — including the body and golden funeral mask of Tutankhamen — in a structure spanning nearly 650,000 square feet.
A picture-perfect trio of islands lapped by turquoise waters, the Maltese archipelago has all the charm of nearby Sicily with far fewer tourists. Valletta, the tiny nation's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site, feels like something plucked straight from Westeros. The historic walled city dates back to 1565, and has a vibe that's Mediterranean with a North African twist. This underrated destination is finally stepping into the global limelight as a 2018 European Capital of Culture. To celebrate the occasion, the city has planned more than 140 projects and 400 events throughout the year. The festivities begin on January 20, with contemporary dance, a choral symphony, and acrobatic performances across the city's four main squares. Should you miss the grand opening, swing by in February for Carnival, or in June for the Malta International Arts Festival and the Valletta Film Festival. —Diana Hubbell
The first season of Travelers has a score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes based on nine reviews with an average rating of 8.0/10.[9] Neil Genzlinger, writing for The New York Times, described the first season as "tasty", and "enjoyable science fiction", with "some attention-grabbing flourishes and fine acting".[10] Hanh Nguyen, writing for IndieWire, describes the series as "fun and freaky," finding the series' appeal "in how the core group of five travelers adjust to life in our present," noting the "human nature in the travelers".[11] Lawrence Devoe, of TheaterByte.com, called the series "tautly paced and suspenseful" with "well-developed characters", declaring that "Brad Wright has a real knack for creating futuristic series".[12] Evan Narcisse, reviewing the first five episodes for io9, appreciated the moral dilemmas offered by the series premise and the awkwardness presented by the characters' interactions with their hosts' friends, colleagues, lovers, or caretakers: "This is a superhero show in double disguise, offering up clever explorations of the secret identity concept that touch on the guilt and contortions that come with living a double life."[13] Netflix announced that the series was one of its "most devoured" series in 2017.[14]

The sun is now shining, the geese are honking and Jess will finish work soon. It is 11 deg here today. So all the windows are open and the heating is off. Perfect.
Now all the greetings are out of the way, I'd like to keep you up to date with what's been going on.
By now you will have all seen the photos I have put up of the new place we are in. It's very nice, and even nicer still if you forget the fact that it is on the 11th floor and the elevator goes really fast. I put them up 2min ago. I'm sure you have seen them!
It's finally good to have somewhere to call ours for a couple of months, although I have been sleeping in because I'm not forced to eat breakfast by 9:15am everyday. Which is bad. So I got my arse up to do some pilates this morning. Very inflexible! I also went and got my eye brows waxed and the lady insisted on threading them too. The only time I have ever seen this was in WA at Christmas. It is like 10 people plucking your eyebrows at the same time over and over. They look good though, but my eyes would not stop watering.
Here is a link if you are interested in pictures – threading.
So Whistler! Tomorrow!! Can't wait! Very excited!! Can't you tell!! And my knee is almost perfect, so now I really can't wait!!
All we have to do to get to the lifts is board down the hill. Awesome! Will be good for Jess when he finishes work. And there is lots for me to explore and do as well. Also a gym.
We are there till our 13th of February. And are hoping to do a ziptrek ecotour and maybe do a snowmobile and a snow shoe tour. I don't know if it has hit the news in Oz, but a big dog sledding company in Whistler has just been done for killing 100 of their dogs because business was down after the Olympics. Not just killing, one guy apparently shot them. So we will be staying away from that!
So yeah, that's about it. Hope to see you again in Whistler! Have yourselves a great day!!

For inexplicable reasons, the Left believes that the violence wrought by angry minorities will benefit them, so they encourage it. They subsidize it. Obama has given his not-so-tacit permission to riot every time one of these tragic events occurs, from the Henry Louis Gates minor incident, to the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, the Dallas officers. And now BLM is rolling in money, $100m from "social justice" organizations. Soros gave them $33m.

Re sprawl: "Chuck Marohn at Strong Towns has shown that the low density, car-dependent development that has typified American cities since World War II does not produce enough tax revenue to service the debt that cities took out to build the infrastructure needed for sprawl." Now, this made me laugh. Suddenly we're supposed to care whether cities have a sustainable tax system in light of economic realities? But the only factor worth considering is transportation infrastructure that everyone is equally entitled to use? No need to think about crony deals for stadiums or public pension bloat? Blue cities are drowning in financial (and other) chaos all over the country, but I don't think it's because of their citizens' freedom to avoid population density.

Glad to see she and her friend were safe after her confrontation with the gun.

Yeah. 'slavery'
Even a cursory look finds several problems with the paper that would probably have to be revised before publication. For instance, the tropical tropospheric hot spot is a result of the adiabatic lapse rate, which can be due to any warming, regardless of cause; hence, it is not a fingerprint of CO2 warming. The footnote they provide refers to an article which says the actual relationship is complex due to large-scale circulation patterns.
But if it feels true ...
Invalid comparison. The phrase "had slaves" is not the same as "were slaves".

Texan99: The usual word salad.
The claim is that the tropical tropospheric hot spot is a fingerprint of CO2 warming. That is incorrect. As the claim forms the basis of a primary claim of the paper, it means the paper needs some work before publication in a scientific journal.
There are other problems with the paper, but you might start with that claim first.

No. That just proves that you can fit data to curves. To show that the Earth moves requires independent entailments (e.g. the retardation of the pendulum).

Black America does NOT have a race problem, they are just getting stupid. Years ago now, I grew up around many lower middle class blacks, but they maintained two-parent homes, smallish families, steady work, regular church attendance and a garden wherever they could find soil.
Now all I see is very highly educated blacks filling every news show discussing how the system screws them. The latest meme was a black professor insisting that "it was not capitalism with it's respect for the individual and property rights that first made America great; it was slavery! The role of capitalism is a myth." We white folks started a whole new country on the hard work of the slaves.
Well, from what I can figure out, only 8% of the population had slaves as it was a rather expensive proposition. And much of the work came from indentured people who were so anxious to escape famine, lack of property rights and disrespect of the law that they were willing to sign such a contract for a ship ride to the New World. Plus, iife is not working too well for those blacks in Africa who -- along with the Arab populations -- are still maintaining slavery and face real poverty that lacks food stamps, free healthcare, tax-supported housing and Obama phones.
We have plenty of blacks in this country who are millionaires or well on their way. They just don't like hanging around with the brothers and sisters who don't make good choices and fail to appreciate the opportunities available to anyone who has the entrepreneurial spirit.
jma: Well, from what I can figure out, only 8% of the population had slaves as it was a rather expensive proposition.
About 40% of the population in the Confederate States were slaves at the start of the Civil War.
Sorry, posted to wrong comment above :( but still holds that the comparison is invalid. "Had slaves" is not the same as "were slaves".

tnxplant: The phrase "had slaves" is not the same as "were slaves".
True enough. A few people owned a lot of slaves, some owned a few, and many owned none. Nonetheless, slaves represented the single largest portion of wealth and production of the South. Jma was arguing that slavery was not economically significant, which was clearly not the case.
"In 1861, the population of the Union was 18.5 million. In the Confederacy, the population was listed as 9 million, with 5.5 million free and 3.5 million enslaved. In the Border States there were 2.5 million free inhabitants and 500,000 enslaved people."
https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/facts.htm
26.5 million free people
4 million enslaved
13% of the total population was enslaved in the US and the border states combined.
In the South about 25% of white people owned slaves - 1.4 million. So 5% of the total US population in 1861 owned slaves.
Fully 82% of the US and territories population in 1861 were neither enslaved nor did they own slaves.

Not only that, but slavery didn't do wonders for the economy of any region where it was endemic. In contrast, capitalism turned the U.S. into the richest country on earth, and even the South developed a fine economy after it ditched slavery. But I don't think they teach economics (or even clear reasoning) at Grievance University--which is the real grievance guys like that ought to be chapped about.

Texan99: Not only that, but slavery didn't do wonders for the economy of any region where it was endemic.
No. It tended to make some white people lazy. Ironically, they would complain about lazy blacks, while bragging about their accomplishments. It was sort of like a welfare program for rich white folk, paid for on the backs of slaves. They got "even" after the Civil War, blaming blacks for their troubles.
Texan99: In contrast, capitalism turned the U.S. into the richest country on earth, and even the South developed a fine economy after it ditched slavery.
After the Civil War, the South's production remained primarily agricultural, and industrial development lagged behind other regions of the country, at least until the federal electrification programs of the New Deal. The South didn't fully recover until the end of Jim Crow, which allowed it to tap into the full potential of its people.
So, to make a long and PC story short, you agree that the article's argument that slavery, not capitalism, created this country's extraordinary wealth is risible.
#7.1.2.1.1.1 Texan99 on 2016-09-25 22:58 (Reply)
Slavery was a significant economic factor in the early days, when the U.S. was primarily an agricultural nation. It certainly wasn't the only factor, though, which included open markets, maritime trade, as well as vast resources (often taken by force, as from Native Americans and Mexico).
JM01: In the Confederacy, the population was listed as 9 million, with 5.5 million free and 3.5 million enslaved.
Yes. That would mean about 40% of the population of the Confederate states were slaves.

Afghanada is a Canadian radio drama which aired on CBC Radio One and Sirius Satellite Radio. The 103 episode series began on November 3, 2006, and concluded its sixth and final season on December 30, 2011.

Overview

The half-hour episodes were broadcast on CBC Radio One Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. local time (3:30 p.m. Newfoundland Time) and 11 p.m. local time (11:30 p.m. Newfoundland Time), and on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 159 Wednesdays at 1 p.m. and 3 a.m. Eastern Time.

Afghanada was created by Jason Sherman, Andrew Moodie, Greg Nelson, and Adam Pettle.  Other writers contributing to the series are Paul Aitken, Nicolas Billon, Dave Carley, Bruce Clark, Abigail Kinch, Hannah Moscovitch, Barbara Samuels, Emil Sher, Greg Spottiswood, Bobbie Theodore, Charlotte Corbeil-Coleman, Brendan Gall and Saul Levine. The executive producer of Season One was James Roy.  The producer of Season Two was Bev Cooper. The executive producer of Seasons Three, Four, Five and Six was Gregory J. Sinclair.

Three Canadian soldiers have been shipped out to Afghanistan and are based deep in the heart of the conflict: Kandahar Province, where the Taliban insurgency is fiercest. Every day, Canadian soldiers on the ground confront the chaos and violence of life "outside the wire". They don't have the big picture; they're not interested in the policy. They're just trying to help the people, protect each other...and survive.

Afghanada was initially a four-part experiment in radio drama but grew into a six-season project with a 15-person crew and an audience of between 300,000 and 600,000 a week on radio and online.

The show used serving officers as consultants and benefited from hundreds of story ideas contributed from serving soldiers in the field to relay a sense of battle conditions and experiences.

Cast
The members of the cast of Afghanada are: Billy MacLellan as Private Lucas "Chucky" Manson, Jenny Young as Sergeant Patricia "Coach" Kinsella, and Paul Fauteux as Private Dean "The Machine" "Deaner" Donaldson. These actors portray the young Canadian soldiers at the core of the story.  Additional cast members are: Michael Spencer Davis is Major Campbell, Trish Fagan is Hannah 'the Healer,' and Jordan Pettle is Master Corporal Jakes.

Remembrance Day Special 2007
This special, produced before a live audience at the Canadian War Museum,  aired on CBC Radio One on November 11 at 1:05 (1:35 NT), 4:05 PT.

Awards
Afghanada won the Canadian Screenwriting Award in the Radio Drama Category from the Writers Guild of Canada in both 2007 and 2008. The Remembrance Day Special won a Gold Medal, for Best Radio Drama Special, and a Silver Medal, for Best Writing, at the 2008 International Radio Festival of New York.

Merchandising
The first four seasons of the series have been collected and sold in CD format by the CBC's merchandising arm, CBCShop/boutique SRC. However, the final two seasons were distributed exclusively through iTunes. All six seasons are available through iTunes.

Hugo Micheron, né le , est un enseignant-chercheur français en sciences politiques, sociologie et géopolitique s'intéressant au djihadisme et aux relations entre la France et le Moyen-Orient.

Biographie
Entre 2008 et 2009, Hugo Micheron vit en Syrie et y apprend la langue arabe. En 2009-2010, il rédige un livret , Syrie,  dans le cadre d'un stage à la Mission économique de Damas à l'ambassade de France en Syrie, sous la direction de Sylvie Sturel, il effectue ensuite des études à Sciences Po Aix et au King's College.

À partir de 2015, dans le cadre de ses travaux de doctorat au sein de la chaire d'excellence Moyen-Orient Méditerranée de l'ENS, il interroge environ 80 jihadistes détenus en France ayant participé à la guerre civile syrienne sous le drapeau de l'État islamique en Irak et au Levant, condamnés ou non. Il conduit également des entretiens auprès de leurs familles et des habitants ayant eu le même cadre de vie, ainsi que dans plusieurs zones de Turquie, du Liban et de l'Irak.

Il obtient en 2019 un doctorat PSL en sciences politiques pour sa thèse préparée à l'École normale supérieure (ENS) sous la direction du professeur Gilles Kepel, intitulée Quartiers, prisons, Syrie-Irak, comment se structure et s'organise le jihadisme en France ?.

Sa thèse de doctorat donne lieu à la publication d'un ouvrage intitulé Le Jihadisme français. Quartiers, Syrie, prisons le . Cet ouvrage est préfacé par son directeur de thèse Gilles Kepel.

Il a enseigné à Sciences Po Paris et à l'ENS. En septembre 2020, il devient chercheur postdoctoral au département géographie et territoires de l'ENS et chercheur associé postdoctoral au sein du département Near Eastern Studies de  l'université de Princeton.

Dans son ouvrage, Hugo Micheron montre la création en France au cours des années 2010 d'une  liée à un enclavement territorial et communautaire, mais qui ne correspond pas nécessairement aux zones les plus fragiles économiquement. Il rejette notamment l'idée que le développement en France de la radicalisation islamique, violente ou non, serait réductible aux difficultés des banlieues ou à la . Déjà en 2016, dans The Economist du 23 juillet, Hugo Micheron commentait : . Se détachant de la thèse développée par Michel Foucault en 1975 dans Surveiller et punir, selon laquelle les prisonniers sont complètement coupés du monde, il soutient que la prison est un lieu de formation pour les jihadistes. Il explique dans un entretien : .

Le livre est  bien accueilli par certains médias, mais moins bien par les universitaires Éric Marlière et Agnès Villechaise.

Il s'inscrit dans la querelle qui oppose Gilles Kepel avec sa vision de la , à Olivier Roy, lequel a développé une théorie d'.
