Black holes. Bloody millions of them!
August 29, 2012 | By ColonelFrog	| Reply More
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission has led to a bonanza of newfound supermassive black holes and extreme galaxies called hot DOGs, or dust-obscured galaxies. Images from the telescope have revealed millions of dusty black hole candidates across the universe and about 1,000 even dustier objects thought to be among the brightest galaxies ever found. These powerful galaxies that burn brightly with infrared light are nicknamed hot DOGs.
"WISE has exposed a menagerie of hidden objects," said Hashima Hasan, WISE program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "We've found an asteroid dancing ahead of Earth in its orbit, the coldest star-like orbs known and now, supermassive black holes and galaxies hiding behind cloaks of dust."
No, not like that!
WISE scanned the whole sky twice in infrared light, completing its survey in early 2011. Like night-vision goggles probing the dark, the telescope captured millions of images of the sky. All the data from the mission have been released publicly, allowing astronomers to dig in and make new discoveries.
The latest findings are helping astronomers better understand how galaxies and the behemoth black holes at their centers grow and evolve together. For example, the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, called Sagittarius A*, has 4 million times the mass of our sun and has gone through periodic feeding frenzies where material falls towards the black hole, heats up, and irradiates its surroundings. Bigger central black holes, up to a billion times the mass of our sun, even may shut down star formation in galaxies.
In one study, astronomers used WISE to identify about 2.5 million actively feeding supermassive black holes across the full sky, stretching back to distances more than 10 billion light-years away. About two-thirds of these black holes never had been detected before because dust blocks their visible light. WISE easily sees these monsters because their powerful, accreting black holes warm the dust, causing it to glow in infrared light.
In two other WISE papers, researchers report finding what are among the brightest galaxies known, one of the main goals of the mission. So far, they have identified about 1,000 candidates.
These extreme objects can pour out more than 100 trillion times as much light as our sun. They are so dusty, however, that they appear only in the longest wavelengths of infrared light captured by WISE. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope followed up on the discoveries in more detail and helped show that, in addition to hosting supermassive black holes feverishly snacking on gas and dust, these DOGs are busy churning out new stars.
"These dusty, cataclysmically forming galaxies are so rare WISE had to scan the entire sky to find them," said Peter Eisenhardt, lead author of the paper on the first of these bright, dusty galaxies, and project scientist for WISE at JPL. "We are also seeing evidence that these record setters may have formed their black holes before the bulk of their stars. The 'eggs' may have come before the 'chickens.'"
More than 100 of these objects, located about 10 billion light-years away, have been confirmed using the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, as well as the Gemini Observatory in Chile, Palomar's 200-inch Hale telescope near San Diego, and the Multiple Mirror Telescope Observatory near Tucson, Ariz.
The WISE observations combined with data at even longer infrared wavelengths from Caltech's Submillimeter Observatory atop Mauna Kea, Hawaii, revealed that these extreme galaxies are more than twice as hot as other infrared-bright galaxies. One theory is their dust is being heated by an extremely powerful burst of activity from the supermassive black hole.
"We may be seeing a new, rare phase in the evolution of galaxies," said Jingwen Wu of JPL, lead author of the study on the submillimeter observations. All three papers are being published in the Astrophysical Journal.

European vs American Oil Majors: Addressing Climate Change
Leading energy players in Europe vow to invest billions in renewable energy and are committed toward reducing emissions. This reflects the companies' concerns related to climate change since governments and investors want the firms to accelerate production of cleaner energy. However, U.S.-based energy giants are sticking to fossil fuels and are investing insignificant amounts for capturing carbon dioxide released in the air as a result of burning of fossil fuels.
European Energy Majors Leading in Energy Transition
Global integrated energy firm Royal Dutch Shell plc RDS.A, headquartered in London, is leading the energy transition. By 2050 or before, the company plans to become a net zero emission energy player. The company also intends that by 2035, its net carbon intensity of the energy products that it will sell will get reduced by roughly 30%.
Another Europe-based energy giant with headquarters in London, BP plc BP, is striving to establish itself as a net zero emissions company by 2050. To turn this goal into reality, the energy giant has decided to lower emissions from its operations related to oil and natural gas to zero. The integrated energy firm also plans to reduce carbon intensity of the energy products it sells by half to achieve the ambitious goal.
Both Shell and BP currently carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
US Firms' Commitments for Fossil Fuels
U.S.-based energy companies are, however, giving little attention toward renewables and lean toward fossil fuels. Exxon Mobil Corporation XOM and Chevron Corporation CVX believe that there are potentials in the Permian Basin — the most prolific oil shale play in the United States — and deepwater production in offshore fields. To boost its reserve base, Chevron acquired Noble Energy, having a portfolio of low-cost assets in Permian and Eagle Ford shale play.
Importantly, Daniel Droog, vice president of energy transition at Chevron, stated that the company will not follow what European energy firms are doing to combat the climate change. Notably, the company will focus on cost efficiencies to reduce carbon intensity. Moreover, Chevron will increase the utilization of renewable energy only to provide power to its operations.
Instead of having a prime focus on renewables, ExxonMobil has made investments for its working interests in 20% of the total carbon capture capacity in the world.
5 Stocks Set to Double
Each was hand-picked by a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2020. Each comes from a different sector and has unique qualities and catalysts that could fuel exceptional growth.

Q: Include x32 or x64 System.Data.SQLite.dll file correctly I was searching on internet about it but I'm not sure exactly what to do.
I found out that I need to include some code in my Program.csproj file.
When I open Program.csproj it says
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <ProjectView>ShowAllFiles</ProjectView>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

this is code which I need to include:
<Reference
       Include="System, Version=1.0.66.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL"
         Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'AnyCPU' ">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
      <HintPath>library\sqlite\x32\System.Data.SQLite.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>False</Private>
    </Reference>
    <Reference
         Include="System, Version=1.0.66.0, processorArchitecture=MSIL"
         Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'x64' ">
      <SpecificVersion>False</SpecificVersion>
      <HintPath>library\sqlite\x64\System.Data.SQLite.DLL</HintPath>
</Reference>

But I'm not quite sure if this is correct cause my program is taking all dll from it's root directory and not from "library\sqlite\"
Could someone please help me to do it correctly? I just can't get it right

A: First of all I strongly recommend you to use v1.0.67+ from http://system.data.sqlite.org
http://system.data.sqlite.org/blobs/1.0.83.0/sqlite-netFx40-binary-Win32-2010-1.0.83.0.zip
http://system.data.sqlite.org/blobs/1.0.83.0/sqlite-netFx40-binary-x64-2010-1.0.83.0.zip

So just extract AnyCPU files from one of two archives (both contain the same version):
System.Data.SQLite.dll
System.Data.SQLite.Linq.dll

While x64 and x86 files (SQLite.Interop.dll) must be copied as follows.
On 32-bit operating system

*

*file from from sqlite-netFx40-binary-Win32-2010-1.0.xx.0.zip goes in
C:\Windows\system32

On 64-bit operating system

*

*x64 files goes in C:\Windows\system32

*Win32 goes in C:\Windows\SysWOW64

.NET will automatically "choose" the right Interop file to include

LiMiTS organized the workshop Matter borrowing vs. pattern borrowing in morphology at SLE 50.
The distribution of morphological profiles over the globe often appears to be geographically skewed. In fact, broad morphological characterization has been part and parcel of traditional portraits of linguistic areas. Often, these broad areal typologies inform ongoing debates on whether or not to reconstruct particular types of morphology, e.g. in Sino-Tibetan. However, in spite of the long-term concern that morphology has formed in comparative linguistics, we know surprisingly little about the general mechanisms of how language contact and processes of area formation affect the diachrony of morphological patterns.
The present interdisciplinary Sinergia project brings together researchers from Zurich and Bern to address this issue. The project aims at determining the dynamics of diffusion and retention of morphological structure by integrating data and methods from historical linguistics with a refined, theoretically-informed parameterization of morphology and with phylogeographical modeling approaches drawing on Geographical Information Science (GIScience). The leading research question is: How does morphology develop in different genealogical and geographical contexts and to what extent is this development affected by language contact?
We approach this question by comparing areas and language families in different geographical and historical situations, grouped in three sub-projects: (i) Celtic and Romance in Europe; (ii) Sino-Tibetan and its neighbors in South, Southeast and East Asia; (iii) Tupian, Quechuan, Cariban in South America. This choice is motivated by the fact that the sample covers a wide range of morphological diversity, that the three regions are historically largely independent of each other, and that we have extensive expertise in all regions in our Sinergia consortium.
The methodological challenge is to adequately model contact-induced patterns of change, informed by what is known about geography and history. This challenge is taken up by a further sub-project dedicated to methods and carried out by GIScience researchers. The Celtic and Romance data sets (which are far richer than the other two) will serve as test-bed cases, in which new methodological instruments are developed, tested and calibrated; the Asian and American areas serve as application cases, in which the previously developed methods are applied to build integrated models.
Parametrization of morphology will start from existing theories of grammatical and phonological word domains (paying close attention to non-isomorphism here), recent research on the clitic/affix distinction that suggests more variation than commonly assumed (e.g. Spencer & Luís 2012), and multivariate versions of morphological typology that introduce more fine-grained variables (e.g. Bickel & Nichols 2007). This work will be supported by a companion project on morphological typology in areal perspective, with a PhD study financed by the University of Zurich.
In each of the three case studies we will evaluate hypotheses on morphological diachrony, both qualitatively and through quantitative (phylogeographical) modeling. Specifically we will assess hypotheses such as: (i) morphological diffusion is correlated with semantic and pragmatic diffusion (e.g. Weinreich 1953) and/or is inherently geared towards simplification (e.g. Trudgill 2011); (ii) areal skewings of complex morphology (e.g. (poly-)synthesis in the Americas) reflects deep-time persistence rather than spreads of innovations (e.g. Nichols 2003); (iii) substance borrowing is more likely with inherent features than with contextual features that respond to syntax (e.g. Gardani 2008). Models of such scenarios will systematically integrate information on historical events (e.g. known migrations or conquests), local geographies (e.g. mountain ridges, waterways) and multivariate, detailed databases of linguistic morphology. This will allow projecting the most likely diachronies of which ancestral languages were in contact and estimating where and when this happened, and to what extent these cases of contact had an effect on tree topologies and/or rates of change in morphology.

Friends of the Earth (Melbourne)'s renewable energy campaign
Energy in Victoria – The Facts
#SpringSt, #VicVotes, Baillieu Government, Napthine Government, renewable energy, VC82, Victorian Coalition, Victorian Labor Party
Election Watch: Will Labor lead on renewables?
"If not us, who? If not now, when? Today is the day for Victoria to assume its rightful place in leading the nation towards a sustainable energy future."
– The Hon. John Thwaites, second reading of the bill that created the Victorian Renewable Energy Target (2006).
Labor leader Daniel Andrews.
The 2014 state election draws near and the Victorian Labor party is expected to soon release its energy policy.
What is known about the Labor party's energy policy? What does Labor's past performance in government reveal about their energy policy agenda?
Removing Barriers to Renewable Energy:
It's well known that the Coalition government's anti-wind farm laws are the biggest barrier to renewable energy development in Victoria.
Friends of the Earth analysis shows they have cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars worth of investment, hundreds of jobs and enough clean electricity to power 250,000 homes. The Labor party has vowed to 'rip up' the Coalition government's anti-wind farm laws.
Driving Renewable Energy Development:
When it comes to encouraging renewable energy development, Labor's Back to Work policy commits the party to "Establish a $200 million Future Industries Fund to drive the six high-growth sectors" including "new energy technologies." The opposition also announced a $200 million Regional Jobs Fund that will support job-creating projects, including "companies investing in renewable energy."
But is that enough?
The need for a Victorian Renewable Energy Target:
Labor governments in the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia are setting the benchmark.
The ACT and SA have Renewable Energy Targets… Why doesn't Victoria?
The ACT has a renewables target of 90 per cent by 2020. South Australia's target has been lifted to 50 per cent by 2025. Victoria doesn't have a target and is falling behind on renewable energy.
Yes 2 Renewable have called on opposition leader Daniel Andrews and Denis Napthine to make a Victorian Renewable Energy Target a central plank of a state renewable energy strategy. The policy will drive investment in shovel-ready wind farm projects and encourage utility-scale solar farms.
A state Renewable Energy Target that works alongside a national RET scheme will unleash investment and create jobs in Victoria – which is something all political parties can support.
With 71 per cent of Victorians supporting state government policies that encourage more renewable energy, a VRET .
Can Labor lead on renewables and support a Victorian Renewable Energy Target? Yes they can.
The Victorian Labor party has a legacy of supporting renewable energy in the state. A signature achievement of the Bracks Labor government was the introduction of a Victorian Renewable Energy Target in 2006.
The Hon John Thwaites, former Minister for Environment.
The following excerpt is from former Victorian Minister for Environment, John Thwaites' second reading of the Victorian Renewable Energy Bill (Hansard) that established a Victorian Renewable Energy Target. Minister Thwaites clearly articulates the case for a VRET:
Large reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are expected to be necessary by the middle of the century to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Sustainable growth in a strong local renewable energy industry will support the achievement of significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
Victoria will lead Australia in the development of a renewable energy industry with the introduction of the Victorian renewable energy target (VRET) scheme established by this bill.
This bill plays a key part in delivering the government's commitment to increase the share of Victoria's electricity consumption from renewable sources to
10 per cent and to facilitate 1000 megawatts in wind power generation.
The bill establishes a requirement for electricity retailers to purchase an additional 3274 gigawatt hours of renewable energy by 2016. We have chosen that year after careful consideration of its impacts on electricity prices and the need for a long-term flow of work for the renewable energy industry.
We are taking this step to fill a void left by the commonwealth's failure to extend the mandatory renewable energy target (MRET) scheme. The Howard government has failed to do so despite the sensible recommendations of its own Tambling review.
The Victorian renewable energy target scheme is responsible and balanced. It provides the renewable energy industry with the certainty of steady but not excessive growth over a 10-year period which will limit increases in retail electricity prices and avoid creating large losses for existing generators.
In addition to the VRET scheme, we will continue to work towards our ambitious 10 per cent renewable energy target as early as 2010, through a range of complementary measures to promote renewable energy in Victoria.
These include further promotion of voluntary green power purchases by households and businesses in Victoria, solar power on houses, technology support and energy smart zones.
These additional measures could add to our renewable energy capacity, taking the level of renewable energy as high as 12 per cent by 2016.
Almost 70 per cent of Victoria's greenhouse gas emissions are from the stationary energy sector. In December 2004 the government released its Greenhouse Challenge for Energy position paper.
The Greenhouse Challenge for Energy proposed a comprehensive policy framework to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the stationary (non-transport) energy sector while continuing to ensure that Victorians have access to a secure, efficient and affordable supply of energy…
The government's approach is in line with the views of the International Energy Agency, which released a report in February 2006 urging governments not to leave such developments to the market. Rather, the International Energy Agency called on governments to improve market deployment strategies for renewable energy technologies, ensuring continued improvements in their cost competitiveness.
The bill provides investment certainty and ensures that a number of major investments in regional Victoria will proceed. VRET will trigger up to $2 billion of new investment in renewable energy projects over the next 10 years.
VRET will result in greenhouse gas abatement of 27 million tonnes over its full life, or an average of 1.13 million tonnes per year. This is equivalent to taking all of Victoria's 3 million cars off the road for two years.
Extensive analysis has been conducted to demonstrate that the government's target is able to be met in a cost-effective manner and offers real economic benefits to regional Victoria. These are benefits which go beyond simply the achievement of greenhouse gas reductions.
VRET will create up to 2200 new jobs in the renewable energy industry and up to $2 billion in capital investment, mostly in provincial Victoria.
VRET will cost the average Victorian household less than $1 per month (starting in 2008) and will only increase an average household electricity bill by $8 for the year. The Bracks government has recently announced cuts in average power prices for households and small businesses of between $33 and $57 over the next two years…
With the passage of the bill, further development of the Victorian renewable energy industry will encourage regional investment and employment. Additionally it will produce significant reductions in greenhouse gases for years to come.
I commend the bill to the house.
Fast forward to 2014, and Victoria is without a Renewable Energy Target.
Will Labor be the party to return ambition to state energy policy and return Victoria to the status of national leader for renewable energy? We'll soon find out.

Groovin early on a Sunday. Thinking about the friend that inspires me the most and how lucky it was that we met. Also how much gratitude I feel for all of the opportunities that are coming my way and the new and old friends that support my many projects and inventions.


Quilter's Multi-Mat by Trimits - small size, 9.5" x 12" (24cm x 30cm).
The Quilter's Multi Mat by Trimits is the perfect companion for patchwork and quilting. It includes 4 mats in 1 - a rotary cutting mat, anti skid layout mat, marking mat and an ironing mat.
The self healing rotary cutting mat is 10.5" x 7.5" (27cm x 19cm) in size, perfect for rotary cutting pieces for small blocks. The grid is marked in inches, but there is also a vertical and horizontal scale marked in centimetres for metric measurements.
The anti-skid design layout sheet is made from velour fabric, perfect for laying out blocks to help decide a final design. It also protects the cutting board from being scratched by the sandpaper layer and the work surface when when using the ironing board.
The marking mat is made from fine sandpaper, ideal for stopping fabric moving or sliding when marking lines or designs.
Finally, the whole exterior of the mat is padded and designed to be used as an ironing board, perfect for pressing seams with a small iron. The anti skid sheet prevents the ironing board moving around whilst also protecting the work surface from scratches.
Altogether, the Quilter's Multi mat is the perfect companion for patchwork and quilting, small enough to fit in a bag to take to class - you can also store finished blocks inside it to prevent them getting creased - but opening out into a useful size for ironing.
This is such a handy mat - the fabric matches my sewing machine bag so was happy with that. It's such a great surface for pressing my patchwork blocks and folds out to reveal an A4 cutting mat.

Howard & Davis Model No.1 Regulator. Boston, MA. Wall clock.
The No.1 Regulator is an impressive clock measuring 4 feet 2 inches long. This is a decorative example. It has been restored to a level that attracts a lot of attention. The painted glasses are bright, the wooden work is super clean. It is hard to walk by this clock with out it attracting ones attention.
The case is constructed in cherry wood which is vibrantly grained with india ink. This is done in order to simulate the grain pattern and look of rosewood. The surface has been treated with a high polish. It stands out. The tablets are painted in the traditional E. Howard colors of back, red and gold from the back. These have been repainted and are in excellent condition. The pendulum hangs from the front of the movement. The supporting rod is made of seasoned cherry and retains its original gilding. This can be viewed through a clear opening in the throat tablet decoration. The large heavy bob is zinc and is covered in brass. The brass retains its original damascene pattern. The pattern is bold and remains in excellent condition. The motion of this eight inch bob can been easily viewed through the clear opening in the lower tablet. The paper dial on this example is original to this clock and is in excellent original condition. It measures 12 inches in diameter and features a Roman numeral formatted time ring, subsidiary seconds dial and the Maker's name and working location. This dial is signed, "HOWARD & DAVIS / BOSTON." The movement is excellent quality and is mounted to the backboard with tabs. It is designed with heavy brass trapezoidal shaped plates, a Graham Dead Beat Escapement, maintaining power, a double suspension spring and a Geneva Winding Stop. As a result, these clocks vary only seconds a month and are excellent time keepers.
This impressive wall hanging timepiece was made circa 1850. It is inventory number TT-143.


Subhan Zein is a PhD candidate at the Australian National University (ANU) and he is an English Instructor at the University of Canberra English Language Institute. Subhan is the author of Malula, a novel published in his home country, Indonesia, in 2010. The beautifully crafted and brilliantly enjoyable fiction is a mind-captivating spiritual journey of Wijaya Kusuma and Jennifer Frazer, a couple who embark on an everlasting quest of finding God.
Once a political activist and former president of various youth organizations including PPIA (Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia di Australia/The National Board of Indonesian Student Association in Australia), Subhan is a man in a new episode of life. He dreams of becoming an international author.
Currently working on two novels, Subhan also writes flash fiction and poetry regularly in www.subhanzein.wordpress.com. As some of you (bloggers) may know, Subhan is a fellow blogger who has over 1200 followers. I am deeply grateful for the support that he continues to provide for my blog. Subhan kindly agreed to share his thoughts and experiences with me and it is with great honour that I am able to feature him on this blog. Enjoy! (MP = Maryanne Pale, SZ = Subhan Zein).
MP: You were born in Indonesia and raised in Australia, what are the major differences between the two countries and do you miss your birth country?
SZ: Indonesia has the best food, whereas Australia has the best skies in the world. I do miss my country. Check out my Facebook Page and Twitter and look at the background of my picture, then you can tell how much I miss my country.
MP: The background to your Facebook Page and Twitter is a great representation of the love that you have for your birth country. As for the Indonesian food, please describe your favourite Indonesian dish.
SZ: My favorite Indonesian dish would be Sayur Kangkung. It's Indonesian water spinach, it's spicy and salty, better with some anchovy flavor. Hehe.
MP: Sounds divine! I must see if there's an Indonesian restaurant here in Auckland that serves Sayur Kangkung hehe! So, you write great poetry that I enjoy reading, what is it about poetry that you love?
SZ: Thank you! Well, I love everything about poetry! But mainly because poetry is the light that travels between two people in love. That is.
MP: Oh nice! I've never heard anyone describe poetry like that, beautifully captured! Will there be a publication of your collection of poetry soon?
SZ: Well, my collection of poetry will be the novel that I would call 'The Disciple'. Please have a look at the sample to get a much better grasp of the project.
MP: Oh wow! Thanks for the sneak peak into your latest novel! (Click on this link to read: SNEEK PEEK: Chapter 3 'Love The Disciple'). In Chapter 3, I love how you have described love in such a way that it encapsulates both the beauty and rawness of it. Can you tell us a little more about your latest novel 'The Disciple'?
SZ: Well, it is spiritual poetry-based fiction, and is based on my contemplation on life and my own experiences. I would like to write this book as something that would give a long-life impact to people, something like a modern-wisdom that is treasured from ancient philosophies kind of thing. Actually, I have two projects that have been lingering in my mind for quite some time. 'The Disciple' is the first of the two projects.
MP: Well, 'The Disciple' sounds very intriguing and after reading Chapter 3, I am looking forward to seeing it upon its' completion. You mentioned that you're currently working on two projects, what's the second one?
SZ: Yes, the second one is a fictitious memoir, based on the amazing experiences of my students. You know, teaching English to international students in Australia has given me so many things to learn. I feel very much fortunate to have been acquainted with a lot of wonderful people who just happen to be my students. Here's the blurb, to give you a general idea.
MY STUDENTS COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA, CHINA, CHILE, TURKEY, MEXICO, VIETNAM, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, SUDAN, SAUDI ARABIA, ISRAEL. THEY ALL LEARN ENGLISH FROM ME. I LEARN LESSONS ABOUT LIFE FROM THEM.
Every classroom is a miniature of the world. The day I met my students was the day when miracles began. It's when the greatest lessons of life were unravelled.
I have completed several chapters of these two projects and I am very much passionate about them. However, I cannot work on them at this time of the year because I have to complete my doctorate. So what I have been doing so far is to refine the ideas that I have at the moment, and reshape the format of the projects. It is very much necessary to brainstorm the ideas as good as possible, so that when the time comes, I can write them perfectly well.
MP: Wow! Thanks for sharing the blurb. It provides an insight not only to your current project but also to your global classroom. It must be interesting to work with your students and what a great way to document your experiences. Is there a preference in your choice of writing poetry and novels?
MP: That is inspiring indeed! So what is spiritualist poetry?
SZ: Well, spiritualist poetry is the kind of genre that I write. I am not sure whether they have a proper definition on this, but for me the term refers to the use of poetry to convey spiritual messages that blend philosophy and wisdom. This is the genre that I am working on in my current book project, 'The Disciple'.
MP: You're extremely busy with work, doctoral studies and creative writing. What do you enjoy doing during your downtime?
MP: Nice! I haven't seen 'Skyfall' and so that might be an awesome one for me to watch. I love James Bond hehe! Even in your downtime you still have great ways to feed your creativity! So what fuels you to write?
SZ: It is the love to share and to serve to humanity through the written word.
MP: Love it! So, who are the people that have influenced and/or inspired you to write?
SZ: Well, there are many people who have inspired me to write. They are Kahlil Gibran, Jalaluddin Rumi, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, and Paulo Coelho.
These are brilliant people that I learn a lot from and have inspired me a lot to write. Gibran in particular, who I had mentioned earlier, is someone who inspired me to write in English. He was a Lebanese who didn't speak English until his youth, but was then able to emerge as one of the most prominent writers and in the 20th century. I think that is amazing and I learn a lot from him.
In addition, I am one person who always believes that while we may want to learn from as many people as possible, it is always best to learn from geniuses, to learn from the brilliants. Exposing ourselves to the works of the geniuses in order to learn from them is surely not a shortcut, but it is indispensable in our journey in honing our writing skill.
That is why I try to expose myself to the works of brilliant writers such as Mario Vargas Llosa, Jean-Paul Sartre, Salman Rushdie, Leo Tolstoy, Ian McEwan, and others. So, in one way or the other, I am also inspired by these people.
MP: Wow! Thanks for your insight. I agree with you on becoming familiar with the works of brilliant writers! You are a passionate writer, what is it about writing that you enjoy?
SZ: Thank you, well I guess the biggest challenge of every writer is to create the world in his mind into beautiful strings of words that form a convincing art. And this is something that I enjoy very much.
MP: Absolutely beautiful! What advice would you like to offer aspiring writers?
SZ: Ah, you flatter me. I am an aspiring writer myself, I don't feel that I have the authority, confidence, or expertise to give advice to other writers. But surely one day when I get really famous, haha! I'd be more confident to do that when that happens.
MP: You are humble and I appreciate what you've shared in this interview. Thank you so much for your time Subhan. One day I hope that we will meet in person. That's what is great about blogging, the fact that bloggers are able to connect with people around the globe in an online community that shares the same interests and not to mention passion. Is there anything that you would like to add?
SZ: I thank you very much for featuring me in your blog, Maryanne. It is a wonderful opportunity and I would love to visit New Zealand one day, to meet you, Maryanne, in person and to meet other talented Tongan poets and writers as well. It is going to be a wonderful thing to be encircled with people who have strong penchant for literature and are passionate about life. Many blessings and much love to you all.
Great conversation Maryanne! loved the talk with Subhan! Iam already a follower and a fan of his..

His blog inspires many and I'm honoured to have featured him on my blog. That's what I love about blogging, we are all able to connect as an online global community, sharing our love and passion for poetry, writing and more. I look forward to reading more of your work.

The restaurant was half crowded when they arrived, and that made Riley feel slightly uncomfortable. When she was younger, she hadn't had a problem being surrounded by so many people, but as she had grown older, she'd developed this eerie feeling about being around unknown people.
This was quite ironic, seeing as she was a waitress and had to deal with strangers constantly; all she knew was that it made her feel weird, almost as if she was being continuously judged.
''You okay, Riles?'' she heard Maya ask, causing her to tilt her head up.
''But there's not a lot of people here'' Auggie remarked, turning to look at the small crowds of folks scattered throughout the restaurant.
She turned to look at Charlie, who had been waiting near the counter for their food, and sighed in relief once he began making his way towards them with a large tray containing their orders.
''shut it, Gardner, and give us the dang food'' Maya said, with her all too playful tone.
''Yum'' Maya murmured, biting her lower lip as she stared down at her food hungrily.
Auggie, who sat beside Riley on the sitting booth, jumped up in excitement as he grabbed ahold of his food and shoved a French fry into his mouth.

Europe hit by 'cocaine wave' sparking a rise in violence, Europol says
By Mark Armstrong with AP • Updated: 22/10/2022
Italian police intercepted a huge cocaine shipment in 2019 - Copyright AP
Europe is being hit by a "wave of cocaine", according to Europol.
The law enforcement agency admits the problem is worse than it first realised, with organised crime networks better connected and increasingly violent.
On Friday, justice ministers from six western European countries met in Amsterdam and vowed to make entry points like harbours more secure amid a dramatic increase in drug traffic.
"For the last four years, we have seen record seizures in western Europe every consecutive year, with at least more than 240 tonnes of cocaine seized in 2021, at least, probably even more," explained Jan Op Gen Oorth, Europol's communications chief.
"So that's a lot of cocaine on the market," he said.
Security officials have agreed to strengthen ties with Latin-American partners such as Peru and Colombia, where the UN says identified coca leaf plantations have increased by at least 43% since 2020.
Colombia is the world's largest producer of cocaine, and much of the product ends up in the US and Europe.
An EU report in May blamed record levels of drug trafficking for sparking violence across the continent.
The Netherlands has seen several high-profile deaths linked to cocaine gangs in the country, particularly in Amsterdam.
This included the country's best-known crime reporter Peter R. de Vries, who was gunned down in the street in the Dutch capital in July last year.
Prosecutors say his assassination was linked to his role in the trial of a Dutch drugs mafia kingpin.
Members of human trafficking network arrested in several European countries
Cocaine, hashish, cannabis and methamphetamine: Europol brings down huge crime network
Spain arrests 32 allegedly linked to Italy's 'Ndrangheta mafia gang
COCA GROWERS EUROPOL NETHERLANDS COCAINE DRUG-TRAFFICKING


Atlanta has roughly 5,890 violent crimes committed annually, but apparently this didn't factor into a business's latest promotional offer. Dan Geller, owner of D. Geller and Son Jewelry store, is offering a voucher for a free hunting rifle to customers who buy diamonds worth $2,499 or more. The store itself is not distributing the rifles, but the customers must take their voucher to a reputable local gun dealer and follow all state laws that go with purchasing and owning a fire arm, but let's be real. What the hell is the connection between diamonds and guns? Geller told WSB-TV that he got the idea after seeing a similar offer at a Missouri car dealership. He said many of his customers are hunters.
Really? Many of your customers are hunters? Get out of here with that nonsense. In a time when we have gun violence as a nationwide problem, do we really need an influx of guns on the streets? Considering the city of Atlanta annually has 33,048 property crimes, including burglary. Burglary, you know when people break your home and steal your property.
Regarding the Second Amendment, should people be allowed to own firearms? Yes. Should there be a limit of types of firearms and number they should be allowed to own? Yes. For instance, no one needs an assault weapon, extended magazines or access to an unlimited number of ammunition. I see no problem with owning a rifle, for the purpose of hunting, but the notion that, "hey , spend some money and get a free gun" is what I have an issue with. While the gun itself isn't really free, the message is that a gun is included in the purchase of another item, which is completely unrelated to the initial purchase and seems rather ridiculous. The fact that this offer could potentially put a gun into the hands of someone who either doesn't need it or gives people an opportunity to receive a weapon in a more discrete way. By discrete I mean that while they are still following all guns laws, it could seem to a gun store less suspicious if someone is acquiring a gun only as a bonus/or included in the purchase of another item.
This isn't the only instance where franchises and business have included guns in a promotional manner, which is evident in Missouri and Florida. This isn't so much a legal question, but rather an ethics one.
What do you think? Do you think stores should be allowed to include a free gun in the purchase of another item?

Violet Evergarden anime movie new release date
Depending on your experience, 2019 has had some good and bad moments. In the anime community, besides the Vic and Funimation debacle, we had the worst tragedy in which an arson had attacked the Kyoto Animation building and staff. If you didn't know, in July of this year, a man attacked the Japanese studio Kyoto Animation with fire. The work of KyoAni was safe but this attack costs the lives of many workers. Because of this attack, most of planned anime projects are all delayed and workers and families are trying to recuperate and deal with the losses.
There is some slight of hope for KyoAni fans. Fans can still hope for the anime movie Violet Evergarden: The Movie. It's not the spin-off Violet Evergarden: Spin-Off – Eternity and Auto Memory Doll –; This movie was premiered in Japan and it will be heading towards to Australian cinema. Now, Kyoto Animation announced at their website that Violet Evergarden: The Movie will be in Japanese theaters in April 24, 2020. Originally, this movie was expected to come out on January but after the attack, it got delayed.
Violet Evergreen movie will be delayed
Some of you may already know about the deadly arsonist fire that took the lives of many at Kyoto Animation studios. Even though some KyoAni anime was saved, we lost innocent people by the hands of evil. From Kyoto Animation, we have the anime Violet Evergarden. It was announced a while back that there is plans of a spin-off movie and a motion picture movie. Unfortunately, one of them will be put on hold.
According to Crunchyroll, an updated post at the official website states that the movie Violet Evergarden the Movie was planned to be released on January 2020, but it will instead be put on hold. It's unknown how long do we have to wait, but we gotta be patient and let time heal any pain for the victims. Here is what it says:
"apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the release" and thanks fans "for (their) continued support of the Violet Evergarden series."
As for the spin-off movie, Violet Evergarden: Spin-Off – Eternity and Auto Memory Doll, this movie was done on Sept 6th and it was released in Japan. This spin-off movie was completed before the fire.
Violet Evergarden side-story film trailer reveal!
As an add on to my previous Violet Evergarden movie news post, I got an update on the movie!

The spinoff movie is titled Violet Evergarden: Spin-Off – Eternity and Auto Memory Doll – and the movie will be in Japanese theaters for three weeks from Sept 6-26th.
Today the movie has an official trailer and thanks to Crunchyroll, we also get to read the story synopsis
Crunchyroll describes it:
The story of Violet Evergarden: Gaiden – Eien to Jidou Shuki Ningyou – follows Isabella York, a young woman who attends an acclaimed but extremely strict academy for young women of high social status at the behest of her father. The school feels like a prison to Isabella, and she despairs for her future, until she meets a new teacher: the auto memory doll, Violet Evergarden.

The Assisted Living Care Association (ALcare.org) was launched by healthcare professionals in Phoenix, AZ and we welcome national members. Realizing that most of us are small business owners, we wanted an association that did not mandate how we operate our own business and to remain autonomous.
The core focus of ALcare.org is networking among our peers and improving services to the community. We strive to bring together all the healthcare fields into one forum to better understand each other's needs and services. The result is better cooperation, the latest healthcare information and technology, mentoring, and group advocacy.
ALcare.org is in its infancy and we look to our member's needs to direct our path. Please consider joining us at this exciting time!
