If you have been injured in a car collision and cannot work, or your working ability is down to part-time, you can claim your lost wages from the auto insurance of the driver who was at fault and caused your injuries and impairment. Recovering past wage losses is straightforward, it is just a matter of proving the loss of income was "caused" by the collision and your doctor or occupational therapist agreed you could not work. It is just a mathematical calculation, minus the tax you would have paid. Recovering future income loss is much more difficult.
Proving a future loss of income, especially long term, is more challenging. The injury victim must prove that there is a real and substantial possibility of a future event leading to an income loss. If the Plaintiff discharges that burden of proof, then depending upon the facts of the case, the Plaintiff may prove the loss, either on an earning/mathematical loss approach, or a capital asset approach. The earnings/mathematical approach will be more useful when the loss is more easily measurable, and the capital asset approach is more useful when the loss is not as easily measurable.
Note that when proving future losses, the burden of proof is not on a balance of probabilities, it is a lower burden of proof of simple probability. The Supreme Court of Canada has clearly said the standard of proof to be applied when evaluating hypothetical events that may affect an award is simple probability, not the balance of probabilities. The court went on to state that possibilities and probabilities, chances, opportunities, and risks must all be considered, so long as they are a real and substantial possibility and not mere speculation. So, in Handel Law Firm's view if the future events are not mere speculation, but they were opportunities that are now lost and risks that the Plaintiff will now have then the Plaintiff should be compensated for it.
The Alberta Court of Appeal in Lowe v. Larue  A.J. No. 55, commented on this head of damages called loss of a capital asset or loss of earning capacity, "the authorities cited support the principle that where a future loss of earning capacity has been established as at least a reasonable possibility and not mere speculation, the loss of a chance or an opportunity to earn a certain level of income in the future may be taken into account in calculating the loss of future income, a loss of which may otherwise be difficult or impossible to assess" (page 9, par. 51).
With respect to the loss of earning capacity the courts have stated that it is "loss of earning capacity as a capital asset that requires compensation", not just a mathematical calculation of the past wage loss. The courts have said, because it is impairment that is being redressed even a plaintiff who is apparently going to be able to earn as much as he could have earned if not injured, he is still entitled to some compensation for the impairment. He is entitled to it because for the rest of his life some occupations will be closed to him and it is impossible to say that over his working life the impairment will not harm his income earning capacity.
Whether the plaintiff was less valuable to himself as a wage earner.
As you can read, this is a complex area of law. To make sure you receive fair compensation that our courts have said you are entitled for your injury and impairment contact Handel Law Firm and speak to one of our experienced injury lawyers. Do not leave your future wage loss compensation to chance or to the advice of the insurance adjuster. The insurance adjuster does not act for you. In fact, he or she acts against you trying to minimize your compensation and maximize the insurance company profits on your back!
Innocent victims who suffer catastrophic brain injuries or other serious injuries which impair their lifetime income earning capacity will receive a very large lump sum settlement. At the time of settlement, we advise our clients to invest a portion of the lump sum in a "structured settlement" and receive tax-free monthly cash payments for life indexed to inflation. This provides a significant advantage as the injury victim who cannot work will have a steady stream of income guaranteed for life to provide for his or her needs. The payments are indexed to inflation so every year the monthly payments will increase.
Perhaps the best reason for placing a large lump sum personal injury settlement award into a structured settlement is the fact that the structured settlement is irrevocable, and therefore the victim (or family members wanting money) cannot collapse it in the future to get at the lump sum.
This is important because a well-known American study indicates that within two months following receipt of a significant monetary settlement (personal injury award, fatal accident award, lotteries, sweepstakes, insurance, inheritances, etc.), 25% of the recipients had nothing left. By the end of the first year, 50% had nothing left. By the end of the first two years, 70% had nothing left. And within five years of settlement, 90% of the recipients had nothing left.
Another huge advantage of a structured settlement is that a catastrophically brain injured victim or other very seriously injured victim in Alberta is often on AISH (Alberta Income for the Severely Handicapped) and if they have a large lump sum of money in their account they will lose their AISH payments as they will no longer qualify. Since AISH uses the definition of income under the Income Tax Act and the Income Tax Act says structured settlements from personal injury claims are not income, the structured settlement will not be considered income or an asset in calculating eligibility for AISH. Therefore, the severely brain injured victim may maintain his or her AISH payments.
Therefore, given the above statistics, if you are receiving a large lump sum personal injury settlement award, and you need that money for your long-term future income supplementation and payment of future medical costs it is, in our firm's opinion, imperative that a good portion of your settlement be placed in a structured settlement indexed to inflation to avoid the catastrophe that the above statistics represent. In other words, do not think that you will be the exception to the rule when the statistics indicate that 90% of recipients have nothing left of their significant monetary settlement after five years. Please also be aware that our law firm does not receive any fee or compensation whatsoever from the life insurance annuity company for placing the annuity. In other words, we are not in a conflict of interest in recommending a structured settlement for catastrophically brain injured clients.
Because of long term low-interest rates, and given that structured settlements are conservative investment vehicles and the rate of return is based upon the rate of return of bonds, many people feel that a structured settlement is a poor investment as they could do better in the stock market. Setting aside the long-term return in the stock market being only marginally better than bonds, and setting aside the fact that in the stock market one can lose 50%, 75%, even 100% of investment capital, structured settlement companies recently developed two products to address people who still want to invest in the stock market with their personal injury settlement.
The first new product is a Market Indexed (MI) structured settlement. In a MI structured settlement, the indexation takes place by reference to the market performance of the S&P 500 as opposed to the Consumer Price Index. A Market Index structured settlement has the certainty of a floor value and the upside benefit of increased income based on market performance – however, it is capped with an annual ceiling at 5%.
The second new structured settlement product is the Convertible Lump Sump. This allows the injured victim to receive a specified lump sum payment on a specific future date with the goal that the victim will reinvest that sum in a predetermined structured settlement plan which would presumably be at higher interest rates sometime in the future.
The foregoing two products are a very good answer to victims who still are misguided by financial planners who want to steer them into the stock market (because of greater fees to the financial planner), as it allows for some upside to market performance. The bottom line, however, is that with existing structured settlements, and even without the foregoing innovations, structured settlements significantly beat comparable investment options when compared with the fact that structured settlements have tax free status. Only structured settlements from injury claims have tax free status – so take advantage of this tax concession if you are an injury victim.
If you are the victim of a serious motor vehicle collision and will have impaired work/earning capacity going forward, or future treatment costs, it is crucial that your personal injury lawyer discuss the structured settlement option. Indeed, in our opinion for the severely disabled it should form part of every large injury settlement.

Q: What is the answer of this indefinite integral containing a delta and an exponetial functions? In during an integral solving by employing Fourier transform, below integral appeared
$$ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{\delta(k-\beta)}{k}exp(-\alpha^2(k+b)^2)dk$$.
What is its answer? I gauss it must be equal
$$  =\frac{1}{\alpha}e^{-\alpha^2(\beta+b)^2)} $$ when $\beta=k$.
But based on my professor opinion, its answer is
$$  =\frac{1}{\alpha\beta}e^{-\alpha^2(\beta+b)^2)} $$. Because when $\beta=k$ forced to appear $\beta$ in the denominator. I need help, please.

A: Well, you can use the following relation:
$$\mathcal{I}_\text{n}:=\int_\mathbb{R}\delta\left(x-\text{n}\right)\text{y}\left(x\right)\space\text{d}x=\text{y}\left(\text{n}\right)\tag1$$
For $\text{n}\in\mathbb{R}$.

So, for your case we get:
$$\int_\mathbb{R}\delta\left(x-\beta\right)\cdot\frac{\exp\left(-\alpha^2\cdot\left(x+\text{b}\right)^2\right)}{x}\space\text{d}x=\frac{\exp\left(-\alpha^2\cdot\left(\beta+\text{b}\right)^2\right)}{\beta}\tag2$$
For $\beta\in\mathbb{R}$.

Hi guys!!! Its me again, Joy Galvez your fashion blogger. For todays blog I will share you our costume when we had our cheerdance competition in school. Our theme is about supporting the LGBT community. Also I know that it's kinda different but this is what we've decided. So here it is and if you have any comments don't hesitate to comment it to the comment section. Thank you !


Dog Parks are a relatively new environment for me since adopting a puppy in July. Several spacious parks in Door County offer a social space for furry friends and their owners alike! I have never left the dog park in Sister Bay without having a great conversation with one of the county's many passionate dog owners.
Exercise classes get us sweaty and breathless, and though this isn't the ideal look when you meet someone new, the endorphins released during exercise usually boost friendliness. Bond with Door County locals over heavy weights and tough yoga poses.
A Race or fun run, peddle, or paddle event is a fabulous active way to meet locals. Folks here are necessarily enthusiastic about the outdoors and are consequently pretty fit. Nearly every month of the year boasts at least one race.
One of the peninsula's cozy cafes can be a hub for caffeine-fueled connections. Door Countyians are picky about their warm beverages, so happily, no matter where on the peninsula they are, they're only ten minutes from a really good cup of coffee.
Work seems like the option I ought to leave off of the list, but if you invite a coworker to do any of 1-4 on this list with you, you'll have made a new friend.


Kerrisdale has the feel of an old fashioned, if upscale, village. Many of the shops have been in the same neighborhood for a long time, and the best of them exude secure self-confidence; they are well established and sure of themselves.
The easiest way to get to Kerrisdale from downtown Vancouver is to cross the Burrard Street Bridge and turn right onto Cornwall Street at the end of the bridge. You will be in the Kitsilano Neighborhood .
Another option, especially if you're coming from the airport, is to take Granville Street north to 41st street and turn left. Follow 41st to West Boulevard, and you're in the heart of Kerrisdale. If you're coming from Oakridge Centre, go west on 49th to Granville, turn right on Granville then left on 41st to West Boulevard.
Once you get to Kerrisdale, find a parking place on the street and stroll around. The shopping area is only a few blocks long. You might want your first stop to be The Secret Garden Tea Company located on West Boulevard, just north of 41st.
The Secret Garden looks like your grandmother's parlour. It has beautiful music, fresh flowers, overstuffed furniture and comfortable chairs and tables where you can enjoy a traditional high tea. You'll find an astonishing selection of tea to go with the wonderful, miniature pastries and baked goods. The Secret Garden is located at 5559 West Boulevard. You can call them at 604-261-3070.
This next place is not much of a shopping destination unless you have a dog, but the place is so great if you do have a dog or cat that we just have to mention it. At 5565 West Blvd, Simply Natural Raw Pet Food sells probably the best dog and cat food in Vancouver.
It's raw, it's frozen, it's high quality and dogs and cats love it. My dog Bodie loves the salmon.
Simply Natural also carries treats and accessories and it offers great training classes. The owners are very helpful and very knowledgeable about pet nutrition.
At the corner of 41st and West Boulevard, you can either go east or west, left or right. Go to the east if you want to eat at The Red Onion with its traditional burgers, fries and good homemade soup. Another interesting store on the east end of the Kerrisdale's 'downtown' is Please Mum, a Canadian children's clothing chain. This famous company carries an excellent array of children's clothes, all at reasonable prices. It's a great place to stock up on basics or an entire wardrobe.
If you go to the right or west on 41st, you'll find three of the best stores in the area: Hills of Kerrisdale, Thomas Hobbs Florist and Currans of Kerrisdale.
Hills of Kerrisdale, an old fashioned department store in business since 1914 and still in business because it's managed to integrate the best of the old with the best of the new. Fashions are high end and current, and the selection is excellent.
Thomas Hobbs Florist at 2129 West 41st Avenue, 604-261-5998, you'll find excellent gifts for others or for yourself. Everything is beautiful, and, consequently, Hobbs is a great place to browse or buy.
Across the street from Thomas Hobbs is Kerrisdale Cameras. This modest looking camera store has the largest selection of new and used camera equipment in Canada. Besides the great selection, they have the most wonderful and knowledgeable sales staff who can answer all your questions and make the right recommendations. And you get to try out the cameras and see how they look and feel before you buy. We love this place.
Currans of Kerrisdale, 2247 West 41st Avenue, 604-261-7071, is an old-fashioned lingerie shop with a better assortment than you'll find in most big department stores, and the service and atmosphere are better. You'll find local designers' underwear and sleep wear and, in winter, one of the largest flannel pajama collections in town. Currans has been around for a long time and they are experts in their field.
Kerrisdale is a great place to come for lunch or high tea and shopping. It is, in truth, a place women will enjoy more than men. It's a good place to go with a group of women, and not necessarily young women. Exciting and hip are not words that naturally gravitate toward Kerrisdale, but it's a great place to hang out if you're a woman on your own or spending an afternoon with 'the girls'.
Take a look at the Kerrisdale Village website for more information about Vancouver's most charming village.

VAALCO Energy, Inc. Announces 10-Year Extension of Etame Exclusive Exploitation Areas Through 2028
HOUSTON, Sept. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VAALCO Energy, Inc. (NYSE: EGY) through its wholly owned subsidiary, VAALCO Gabon S.A. ("VAALCO" or "the Company") and the other Etame Participating Interest owners today announced the receipt of the Presidential Decree approving the successful execution of an Amendment to the Etame Marin Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") in Gabon between the Government of Gabon and the Etame Participating Interest owners. The Amendment provides for a 10-year extension of the three Exclusive Exploitation Areas under the PSC ("the Extension"). VAALCO is the Operator with a 33.575% Participating Interest under the terms of the applicable Joint Operating Agreement. The remaining owners of Participating Interests under the Joint Operating Agreement are Addax Petroleum Etame, Inc. (33.900%), Sasol Gabon S.A. (30.000%), and PetroEnergy Resources Corp. (2.525%). VAALCO and the other Participating Interest Owners are referred to as the "Contractor Parties".
Key Highlights of the Extension:
Extends each of the existing three Exclusive Exploitation Authorizations under the Etame PSC for 10 years from the date of the signing of the Amendment, with two additional five-year option periods;
Provides the opportunity to make future investments that will yield benefit to both the Contractor Parties and the government of Gabon through further development of the resource potential within the Exploitation Areas;
Commits the Contractor Parties to complete, within two years of the Amendment coming into force, a drilling program to drill two development wells and two appraisal wells, as well as undertake technical studies;
In addition, VAALCO has agreed individually to provide an increased commitment to corporate social responsibility projects in Gabon.
Cary Bounds, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "VAALCO, together with the other Contractor Parties, are very excited to announce this extension of our Exclusive Exploitation Authorizations in the Etame Marin Permit. The Extension will further strengthen our strategic partnership with the Government of Gabon and ensures the long-term viability of our premier Etame asset, which has produced more than 100 million barrels of oil since inception. This extension stabilizes VAALCO's outlook for the future, removes uncertainty, and allows us to focus on generating further value and extracting additional reserves from the Etame block. We are now ready to move forward with our 2019 development and appraisal drilling program. We will provide additional details once the locations and timing are finalized. As we look to the future, we remain focused on creating substantial value for our shareholders by operating safely and efficiently, and continuing to execute on our growth strategy. The remaining opportunities in Etame are significant and we are well positioned to strengthen our financial and operational positions. We are also very pleased to continue our long-term relationship with the Government of Gabon and look forward to many more years of successful operations in the country."
Representatives of Sasol Gabon, Addax and PetroEnergy have also executed the Amendment. The Contractor Parties have also agreed to their respective Participating Interest share of the work commitment and other obligations, including the drilling commitments, under the terms of the Extension. The Contractor Parties are optimistic that these wells will be part of a broader, long-term program to develop the economically recoverable portion of the hydrocarbon resources remaining in the field which will jointly benefit VAALCO, the other Contractor Parties and the Republic of Gabon.

OK, so it's not as pointless as squashing water, it has a purpose in a traditional environment where governance may not have always been as good as it is now (ahem! – looks away sheepishly), people were able to install, configure and subsequently change systems and software beneath the radar of governance, or possibly in the absence of any governance. How many times has that excel spreadsheet been up to date when you needed it?
IT discovery tools have given the IT department a capability to inventory all of those separate systems and store then in a central location, post-hoc. Even there though we run into issues; in a bizarre catch 22 you need to know that something exists before you can discover it.
And in the most perfectly discoverable environment what we have ended up doing is creating a solution whereby people can continue to do things in the same way. With IT department covering the cost of employing additional people to discover what the silos have been doing. This is the dead mans curve dilemma.
The Dilemma of Dead Man's Curve is this: when the existing infrastructure no longer supports the demands placed upon it—causing disruption to operations, etc.—the operators of that infrastructure always will try to mitigate the related risks by installing patches at the lowest possible cost. Their goal is to extend the useful life of the investment in the infrastructure, despite the expenses of losses that may result. Patching Dead Man's Curve is always lower in cost than investing in building a new, functional infrastructure. But the patches merely delay the issue—when should we decide to abandon what exists and invest in building something new that will work?
With this in mind, let's ask the following question; 'Why do we need the information?' The first response is; 'we need to discover all the 'CI's and their relationships in the estate'.
Cost; to understand the financial weight of the IT estate, ideally on a service by service basis.
Quality; to understand the impact of any changes made in the IT estate, whether by the addition of new services, or amendments and removal of existing services.
Both of these are still valid reasons to know about the components that make up the IT estate, and we could continue to use discovery tooling if the world had stood still for the last 10 years.
Post hoc discovery introduces 'lag' in the system. New CIs can be deleted, created and changed at an interval that is not dictated by human time-frames. Consider continuous deployment, or cloud provided services.
NOTE: Automation requires not only that automation tools are allowed access to perform their duties, but importantly that human access is removed.
For systems, this has the added benefit of removing the security risk associated with humans.
For cloud subscriptions having humans and machines accessing the same subscription introduces a governance nightmare.
Highly automated environments, where a collection of resources are combined 'on-demand' to meet the need of a requestor have been given a name that you might recognise. Cloud! Whether it be public or private these resources should NOT be considered 'owned' by IT. Although it is worth noting at this point that applications that run on these provided compute resources are, and may well be subject to discovery. More on this is later post.
NOTE: In private cloud they should be operated with their own operating budget as a provider of resource to the wider IT community.
What for these environments? To what level is topology (CIs and their relationships) required from a purchaser/consumer perspective?
Clearly not to the compute resource level (memory, CPU, disk), since we cannot affect them as discrete elements (they are part of the offering). But what about a VM instance as a collection of compute resources?
Let's go back to what we want to achieve with our configuration management system. Control cost and quality.
Is the person requesting the VM interested in individual VM? Probably not! In almost all cases there will be multiple VMs, coupled with networking components and storage elements that form a platform. A platform being the base onto which we build additional functionality. For simplicity I will refer to this functionality as 'the application'. With this context we do not need to know about individual VMs, but the aggregated cost of all VMs, network and storage infrastructure (application components) that supports the application.
If the various application components are in a single subscription then the cost accounting is simple, cost of subscription equals the cost of the application. If however, as is most often the case, the application components share the subscription with other applications then they need to be tagged in some way and the consumption of the tagged is the cost for the application. This cost may be affected by the actions taken as part of maintaining quality.
The twist here is that all of these actions can, and I would say should, be built-in to the application architecture, in which case they should be performed by the cloud provider as part of the design. Retroactive remediation introduces lag into the resolution process. In these days where we as consumers are very demanding of the application quality attributes this should always be the case.
The effect of this is the increasing importance of 'the architect' in the 'discovery' process. A well architected application that is deployed into a cloud environment does not need to be discovered since all we need to know is held in the architecture pattern (also known as a service design) is already known at time of deployment. Why would you discover what is already known? Some weird desire to prove that the provider has retained all the information you have told them, perhaps?
The temptation to believe that we need to know the application component information is non-sensical. It is an example of inertia or the 'this is the way we have always done it' mentality. Showing that although you may have moved with the technology you have not moved with your mind into a new paradigm.
Let me know your thoughts, I am open to any reason why we might want to continue to do discovery for purchased cloud services, but have been unable to get a sufficiently convincing reason to sway my opinion.


"This thesis stresses the importance of analog and digital computers in the field of reaction kinetics. The analog computer is used to simulate a chemical reaction, the hydrolysis of acetic anhydride. The hydrolysis reaction takes place in a tubular reactor. The reactor is 3/4 inch in diameter and 20 feet long. These reactor dimensions allow the reaction system to approach plug flow, if the reactants flow through the reactor at turbulent flow rates. The physical, reactor, system is used to obtain experimental data for the hydrolysis reaction. The data is obtained at reactor temperatures between 75 and 100°F. Feed concentrations of acetic anhydride range between 0.0340 and 0.0760 lb.moles/ft.³. The experimental data is compared with the analog simulation at various feed temperatures and feed concentrations of acetic anhydride. The analog simulation successfully follows these changes in initial conditions. PACTOLUS, a digital analog simulator, provides a check on the validity of the analog simulation. The PACTOLUS simulation confirms the results obtained from the analog simulation"--Abstract, Page ii.

Psycho logic's plain Stu-pid
SO we have been left in no doubt that Stuart Pearce wants to be England manager this summer.
Danny Fullbrook
Blimey, 'Psycho' said it at every news conference this week. The fact Pearce (below) feels he is good enough to be in charge for the Euros, but not the qualifying campaign for the 2014 Brazil World Cup is exactly why he should not be given the job.
How can he be ready to take on France, Sweden and hosts Ukraine this summer if he does not feel he can beat San Marino in the qualifiers?
It's like a Prime Minister saying he can run the country in a time of war but not in peace time.
Manchester United's Danny Welbeck and Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge are talented strikers.
But their game is very similar, as is rookie Fraizer Campbell's. That's why England need something different and have to take Wayne Rooney to the Euros, even though he will be banned for the first two games.

Builder Ray Ferguson may enjoy motor racing as a hobby, but his biggest race was the one to lose weight; Emma Caulton met him at the home where he changed his life.
A discreet sign points to Palestine down a tree-edged lane heading Roman-road-straight through the undisturbed countryside of an early autumn afternoon.
"It's very quiet, if you see a car it's unusual," agrees Ray Ferguson as I arrive at his home, Charnwood House, with its peaceful views over farmland and woodland.
Ray runs his own local building business and I am here to talk barleytwist chimneys and light wells and all those other clever ideas Ray has picked from other properties he has worked on over the years, recreating them in his own six-bedroom family home.
Outside the house features attractive detailing such as herringbone and dental dogtooth brickwork, while inside the house has been designed to accommodate both family needs and personal passions. The ground floor is dominated by a spacious kitchen/breakfast room that is open to the dining room and drawing room.
Other features include decorative plasterwork across the ceiling, mood lighting and an integrated hi-fi system that plays through a television as large as a small cinema screen. Ray smiles: "I'm keen on motor racing and it's like being at the circuit when I have the sound turned right up.
Charnwood is deceptive, from the outside you don't realise it has been built over three floors with a basement, or lower ground floor, that cleverly incorporates light wells so these basement rooms have windows for natural light ("something else we did on another job and cribbed"). Here is Ray's 'games' room displaying his collection of Ferrari-related books, dvds and memorabilia such as the last jacket Nigel Mansell was issued by Ferrari, his prized possession. At the flick of a switch a cinema screen drops down from the ceiling. This is a seriously fun room.
At present Ray uses one of the rooms in the lower ground floor flat as an office while the kitchen is used as the utility and laundry room. On the ground floor the 'annexe' has been commandeered by the grandchildren as a family room.
She is probably entitled to an indulgence, considering Ray's own hobbies.
He weighed in at just over 26 and a half stone. "I couldn't have lost that weight without Tracy, who runs the club, and my missus. I knew I had 13 stone to lose, but I just thought about losing 2lb each week.
"I reached my target two years ago, but I still go to Slimming World every week. Nothing stops me from going." In 2010 he came fourth in Slimming World's Man of the Year competition as one of their winning losers.
He also promised himself that if he lost the weight he would take up racing again.
"I never got rid of the racing bug so as I got closer to my target weight I thought that will be my prize, and I've been racing for four years now.
Overall life at Charnwood House seems to have been charmed, however it is time for Ray and Gill to move on. "We didn't ever think we would be leaving here but now we need something smaller." So here's a winning house for someone - what could be better than a house built by a builder?

July and August are great summer months for hiking the high country in Central Oregon. The Cascades offer respite from the high desert heat, and stunning scenery makes an alpine hike worthwhile. But if you're looking for something a little different, a little less crowded, a little less known: look toward the foothills.
Lake Creek Trail traverses a lovely section of the Cascade foothills through the towering pine forests of the Metolius basin. Summer is a wonderful time to hike the trail as the forests provide shade and the creek and its source, Suttle Lake, beckons swimmers. Hikers can start and stop in a variety of places, making the trek as short or long as they like. Lake Creek Trail even connects to larger regional trails like the Metolius-Windigo.
Try starting at Deschutes Land Trust's Metolius Preserve for a 5.5-mile round-trip hike to Suttle Lake and back. This non-profit-owned nature preserve offers a parking area with a porta-pottie and a kiosk to help orient visitors. From the kiosk head west on Lake Creek trail, but keep a lookout for a spur trail on the left that heads south towards Lake Creek. This half-mile detour is worthwhile as it takes visitors to a bucolic log bridge that spans the north fork of Lake Creek. The creek is lined with lush vine maple and alder, and provides habitat for a myriad of species including native redband trout, spring Chinook salmon and sockeye salmon. Interestingly, Lake Creek is the migratory route for one of the only two sockeye runs in Oregon.
Back on the main Lake Creek trail, follow the flat, well-defined track through the open forests of the Metolius Preserve. You'll see evidence of historic logging, but what might not be clear is the Land Trust's decade-long effort to return health to this forest. Wildflowers found on this stretch of trail include yarrow, scarlet gilia and, for those with sharp eyes, spotted mountain bells. Woodpeckers can be heard knocking on the trees.
From the Metolius Preserve, the trail follows an old roadbed into the Deschutes National Forest. Pine and larch are intermixed with fir trees and wild rose. Catch glimpses of the creek from openings in the trees. Eventually the trail crosses paved Road 12 and then begins to travel uphill. Here you begin to hike along ancient glacial moraines—the piles of rock and silt that a glacier moves with it and leaves behind as it recedes. In fact, these moraines are 20,000 years old from a time when alpine ice sheets covered most of the high Cascades.
Eventually the trail crosses under Highway 20; hikers can follow the trail or road to the shores of Suttle Lake. The public swimming beach provides a great place to cool off as do the ice cream cones from Suttle Lake Lodge!
Once you reach the lodge, you simply retrace your steps, and return as you came.
Drive 9.8 miles west of Sisters on Highway 20/126. Take a right on Road 14 (Camp Sherman/Metolius River turnoff). Drive 2.6 miles on Road 14 until you come to a "Y", stay left (straight) at "Y". Continue on Road 1419 another 2.2 miles until you reach a stop sign. Turn left at the stop onto Road 1216. Drive 1.4 miles and then take a left onto Road 600 at the large Metolius Preserve welcome sign. Drive approximately 1/4 mile to parking area.

Dallas and New York-based artist Jay Shinn mixes light, projections, metal, and paint in his work. While he uses various mediums in his art, one constant is his exploration of geometric forms. No matter the medium, each piece has a three dimensional quality and really focuses on perspective. I really love his use of light in the pieces and how the repetitious patterns completely draw the viewer in.
Gino Savarino was born in Argentina on December 3, 1969. His parents migrated to Buenos Aires from Italy for a better life and in 1978 from Argentina to Chicago for an even better life. Therefore, he's fluent in Spanish and Italian. Soon after arriving to the United States, he needed some way to deal with the culture shock and for him the best way was through painting, drawing and listening to music. After graduating high school he enrolled in formal art classes for two years and soon after he decided to do things his way. Sometimes breaking the rules of design is how he creates his pieces. His focus is on Abstract art, painting large original paintings and sculpture that can accommodate any modern or contemporary decor. He is influenced by old rusted found objects as well as weathered distressed materials.

External Funding Resources
IDENTIFYING THE FUNDS
Cfda.gov – The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) is the government wide document identifying all federal assistance programs. To be included in the CFDA, a program must fall under the CFDA's definition of federal assistance, which is: «any function of a Federal agency that provides assistance or benefits for a State or States, territorial possession, county, city, other political subdivision, grouping, or instrumentality thereof; any domestic profit or nonprofit corporation, institution, or individual, other than an agency of the Federal government». The CFDA is a repository of all programs but not all programs listed in the CFDA are actively funded. A listing in the CFDA indicates that the program has been authorized but does not necessarily mean that it is covered by a current appropriation. To find out if a program is currently funded, you will need to check the agency website or contact the agency representative identified in the CFDA program description. There are several ways to search the CFDA. Deciding how to search the CFDA will depend on your project type and your knowledge of existing programs. For example, some types of search in the CFDA site are: by Program or Agency; by Keyword, Program Number or Assistance Type; using the Advanced Search Form or searching within the Recovery Act funded programs.
Grants.gov – This grants management website creates a centralized place to manage, find, and apply for grant programs. This online system allows potential applicants to find synopses of all discretionary financial assistance opportunities in one site. Federal awarding agencies are required to post synopses in this system using the standard data elements developed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in coordination with the agencies. The synopsis links to the full program announcement or provide information about how to obtain it. The Uniform Guidance requires federal agencies to post announcements for funding opportunities generally 60 days, but no fewer than 30 days, before the closing date for applications. The Basic Search allows you to search by Keyword, Funding Opportunity Number (agency's number for a specific solicitation), or CFDA Number. When searching the database by keyword, it is important to bear in mind that agencies will use various terms to refer to the same subject. You should perform a number of keyword searches using as many similar terms and phrases as you can to ensure that you capture all possible results. After you determines to pursue the funding opportunity, you must obtain the application package either from the agency's website or through Grants.gov. Once you have the application package, you may still need to look at the agency website for more information about the program.
Community of Science (COS) – Despite its name, this commercial source includes information about sponsors in all disciplines. COS provides information on Federal, non- federal, and international opportunities.
SPIN – Sponsored Programs Information Network – An InfoEd's company service that provides detailed and timely information about thousands of Federal, non- federal and international funding opportunities. A user-friendly database, searches can be initiated through general keywords (Quick search) or specific criteria categories (Advanced search). A subsystem of SPIN, SMARTS / GENIUS notifies the registered participant of new funding opportunities via e-mail.
GrantsWeb 2000 – The Society of Research Administrators International (SRAI) provides links to a broad range of federal, non-federal, private and foundation sponsors.
proposalCENTRAL – A web-based grant management solution for government, non-profit, and private grant-making organizations to simplify their operations by receiving and reviewing grant applications online. Participating organizations include members of the Foundation Commons.
Foundation Center's Grantmakers – An excellent source of information about philanthropy worldwide, contains information on private foundations, corporate grantmakers, grantmaking public charities, and community foundations. This website includes links to more than 2,000 grantmaker websites.
Agency websites – for those programs you have identified as possible funding sources but can't find on the previous sites, the awarding agency website is the next logical place to visit. In addition to learning more about the suitability of the program to your project needs, you may be able to find out if the program is currently funded or when the next funding cycle is expected.A broad range of federal and non-federal agencies have traditionally sponsored UPR research activities in the science fields, humanities, museum and library sciences, education, labor, health and human services, among many others. Though most of UPR's sponsored funding comes from Federal sponsors, much funding is also received and available from non-federal sponsors including foundations, institutes and societies.

SPONSOR ANNOUNCEMENTS
Most of this sponsors release program announcements in the form of Request for Proposals (RFP), Request for Application, (RFA), Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), Notice of Funding Announcement (NOFA), among others. These announcements are an important source of information, since they represent high-priority areas and funding allocations have been appropriately identified for those interested in applying. University community may access these announcements directly from the sponsor website or through the links provided herein or the campus/unit webpages. Some examples are:
The NIH Request for Proposal (RFP) Directory has been established to provide Internet users with quick and easy access to RFP solicitations available at the NIH.
The Federal Business Opportunities website provides a more general source of information for all federal opportunities available to vendor/buyers, grant applicants, and entrepreneurs.
NSF'S Active Funding Opportunities- Recently Announced gives access to program guidelines and due dates of NSF active funding opportunities.
Rural Development – Notices Of Solicitation of Applications (NOSA) – Rural Development publishes Notices of Solicitation of Applications (NOSAs) or Notices of Funding Availability in the Federal Register.NOSAs provide program information organized in a consistent way to easily and quickly find information regarding Rural Development Opportunities. The USDA Rural Development operates over fifty financial assistance programs for a variety of rural applications. The Grant Assistance is provided in many ways, including direct or guaranteed loans, grants, technical assistance, research and educational materials. Visit this site for information and/or assistance.
Once the university faculty, staff or student identify the most appropriate sponsor and grant mechanism, the proposal development and preparation process begins. Proposals are typically very technical documentations that must adequately respond to all sponsor requirements. Failure to do so may lead to administrative withdrawal of submitted grants and awards by the sponsor. The Office of the VPRT, and the campus/unit Offices of Sponsored Programs, and a variety of institutional resources provide guidance in this process. Furthermore, a series of sponsors have developed excellent web-based resources to assist in the proposal preparation and submission processes. Additional university resources are also available in the network of UPR Offices of Sponsored Programs (or their equivalent), campus/units research support and development programs, and the VPRT. The web links to some of these sources and their application information are listed below:

Paul was attacked in the blogosphere last week, and it got him thinking about dealing with negativity online. The risk of blogger attacks is one of the biggest reasons companies avoid social media, but Paul and David argue that fears are overblown. Sure, you need a thick skin to invite customer feedback. But companies with good products and happy customers aren't likely to be hurt by one bad seed. And companies with poor products and angry customers should research their situation thoroughly before wading into the blogosphere.
Negativity can be an important indicator of future trouble, so it pays to monitor customer conversations. Also, the speed at which a story spreads these days can catch businesses flat-footed if they don't react quickly. A recent story involving AT&T and the California wildfires demonstrates this; the story was "dugg" more than 2,100 times in the six hours before AT&T issued an apology. The good news is that fast action and a willingness to admit mistakes can quickly quell negative publicity.
This week's virtual guest is Debbie Weil, author of The Corporate Blogging Book and an expert on business blogging. Paul met with Debbie at the BlogWorld Expo conference in Las Vegas and conducted a short interview, which we play here. Paul and David then discuss some of the more frequent questions they hear from PR professionals who are trying to get their executives on the Cluetrain.
Should every company have a blog and are there alternatives that are superior for different business objectives?
What do you do about reluctant executives who don't see the value of online customer conversations?
What should your blogging policy look like, or do you even need one?
What are the different applications of blogs to achieving business goals?
How do you deal with negativity? Should you enable customer comments and engage with persistently negative commenters?
This week, Paul and Dave are joined by Scott Kirsner, a Boston Globe columnist, freelance writer, blogger and conference organizer. As a writer who's had significant experience in both mainstream and new media, Scott understands the power of each to shape opinion in different ways.Scott sees greater convergence happening between newspapers and citizen journalists, but believes newspapers still have to come up the learning curve in understanding the unique characteristics of Internet content. PR people are skilled at pitching him as a print reporter, he says, but pitches tuned to his blog are almost non-existent. For every 250 print pitches, there's one blog pitch. This is an opportunity missed. PR still doesn't give bloggers the attention they merit.
Marketers can adopt new media to understand and engage with their markets better, Scott believes. Start by reading Cluetrain Manifesto. Then stop talking at your customers and start asking them for comments and feedback. You can leverage inexpensive tools like online video to tell people about innovative work your company is doing or to showcase interesting people. Scott's book, The Future of Web Video, can help you there.

Roksanda Ilincic has created the beautiful interiors for a King's Cross penthouse
Even if you're not looking to buy, the designer's foray into interiors will serve as ample inspiration for your home
Photography by Michael Sinclair, styling by Olivia Gregory.
Roksanda Ilincic has brought her eye for colour, artistic knowledge and textural depth to interiors for the first time, creating the internal aesthetic for a duplex penthouse at Gasholders London King's Cross. The designer, who used to live in the area herself, has personally selected artworks, a mix of mid-century and post-modern furniture, eclectic textiles, lighting and ceramics to produce a stylish, yet warm and feminine space. With three bedrooms, a sunken courtyard garden and a feature staircase that leads to a rooftop terrace, the three-floor penthouse will serve as interiors inspiration even if you're not in the market to buy. The apartment is available to purchase, fully-furnished, for £7,750,000.
Here, Ilincic talks us through the inspirations behind her vision.
Michael Sinclair
"Art and architecture are consistently starting point of my own collections and while designing the penthouse it was easy to translate the codes and DNA of my brand into interiors and curation of this wonderful space."
2 The entrance
"It was important for me that the apartment is immediately welcoming as you enter it, with balance between timelessness and modernity."
3 Dining room
"A Swiss performance artist painted this mural by hand. I wanted to use this project as a platform to highlight the incredible work of female artists, architects and makers, both established and emerging, whose vision inspires me."
4 The study
"I love books and I love reading. I spent a long time curating this selection, trying to find books by and about female artists"
"I wanted the living room and the penthouse to feel like a sanctuary, a place of protection which provides solace, comfort and that also inspires you."
6 The master bedroom
"This room is where you can feel my full sense of colour, for example, in this area where the bed is there's four different shades of red. I wanted a feeling of femininity around the bed. The linen book on the side is by my one of my favourite art teachers, her influence is seen throughout especially with this bedroom."
7 The dressing room
"The dressing area has some pieces from my collection that blend with the surrounding."
8 The snug
"Lina Bo Bardi was always my great inspiration. There is a hidden little room on the lower level that feels like a sanctuary and hosts my favourite Lina's chair - that moment of tranquillity is my favourite place in the apartment."
9 The roof garden
"The penthouse offers access to the roof garden that overlooks Coal's Yard."

Rangers let Lincecum breathe, then Giants gave Lee his lumps

Editor's note: Franklin High and Delta College graduate Eddie Guardado spent 17 seasons in the major leagues, the final two with the Texas Rangers, where he made 103 appearances in relief in 2008-09. Guardado was released from a minor-league contract with the Washington Nationals in March and is enjoying retirement with his family in Tustin.
Guardado, who made five appearances in the postseason while with the Minnesota Twins, shares some of his impressions from the Giants 11-7 win over the Rangers in Game 1 of the World Series:
"If anyone would have said the Rangers would score seven runs and Cliff Lee would lose, I would have said you have your wires crossed a little bit. But you know, that's why they play seven games in the World Series. Obviously, the team that wins the first game is sitting pretty good and feels good about itself, but it's a long series."
On Tim Lincecum's shaky start:
"The first couple innings, I thought (Tim) Lincecum was not himself. But when you have a guy like that on the ropes, you can't let him breathe, and (the Rangers) let him breathe."
On Lee's performance:
"Lee came out pounding the strike zone, like he always does, but right there in the fifth inning, he got the ball up a little bit and I hate to say this, but everybody's going to take their lumps no matter who they are."
On Vladimir Guerrero playing right field:
"If I was Texas, I would have played Vladimir Guerrero in right field toward the end of the regular season because they knew they were going to make the playoffs and you never know if you're going to make it to the World Series. If you don't play him there in the regular season and throw him out there in the World Series, he's rusty and it showed. The Rangers made four errors (Guerrero had two), and you can't do that in the World Series."
On a personal note:
"I'd like to say hello to my wife, Lisa, who's visiting friends in Stockton."

Дельта-код Элиаса  — это универсальный код для кодирования положительных целых чисел, разработанный Питером Элиасом.

Кодирование
Алгоритм кодирования числа N:
 Сосчитать  — количество значащих битов в двоичном представлении числа .
 Сосчитать  — количество значащих битов в двоичном представлении числа .
 Записать  нулей и одну единицу.
 Дописать  —  младших битов двоичного представления числа  без старшей единицы ().
 Дописать  —  младших битов двоичного представления числа  без старшей единицы ().

Иначе этот алгоритм можно описать так:
 Сосчитать  — количество значащих битов в двоичном представлении числа .
 Закодировать  с помощью гамма-кода Элиаса (γ(L)).
 Дописать двоичное представление числа  без старшей единицы.

То есть и в дельта-, и в гамма-коде Элиаса число кодируется в виде экспоненты  (разрядности числа — количества значащих битов) и мантиссы  (собственно значащих битов), но в гамма-коде экспонента записывается в унарном виде, а в дельта-коде к ней ещё раз применяется гамма-кодирование.

Пример кодирования числа 10:

 В двоичном представлении числа  4 значащих бита ().
 В двоичном представлении числа  3 значащих бита ().
 Записываем  нуля и одну единицу → 001.
 Дописывем биты числа  без старшей единицы → 00.
 Дописывем биты числа  без старшей единицы → 010.
 Результат — 00100010.

Результаты кодирования первых 17 чисел (для сравнения показан также гамма-код):

С помощью дополнительной обработки исходных значений дельта-код можно использовать также для кодирования нулевых и отрицательных целых чисел (см.: Гамма-код Элиаса#Обобщение).

Декодирование
Алгоритм декодирования числа из дельта-кода Элиаса:
 Сосчитать  — количество нулей во входном потоке до первой единицы.
 За единицей следуют  младших битов числа , прочитать их и добавить к результату значение . Если биты  во входном потоке записаны от старших к младшим, то первую единицу после ведущей серии нулей можно читать как часть двоичного представления числа , в этом случае добавлять  отдельным шагом нет необходимости.
 Следом идут  младших битов числа , прочитать их и добавить к результату значение .

Пример декодирования последовательности битов 001010001:

 Прочитать из потока 001 и определить, что в начале 2 ведущих нуля ().
 Прочитать из потока следующие  бита → 01; это даёт .
 Прочитать из потока следующие  бита → 0001; это даёт .

Эффективность

Для чисел 2, 3, 8…15 дельта-код длиннее гамма-кода, для чисел 1, 4…7, 16…31 длина дельта-кода совпадает с длиной гамма-кода, для всех остальных чисел дельта-код короче гамма-кода. Соответственно, дельта-код тем менее выгоднее гамма-кода, чем неравномернее распределение вероятностей кодируемых чисел и чем более вероятны их значения при приближении к нулю.

Bhubaneswar: As part of the continuous efforts towards making Bhubaneswar Open Defecation Free (ODF), Phalikia Basti in Ashok Nagar of Ward 41 today became the 9th slum within the Bhubaneswar Town Centre District (BTCD) to go ODF.
Sixty-two families residing in the Phalikia Basti have recently constructed 48 toilets to make the slum Open Defecation Free as some families mutually agreed to share the toilets due to space constraints.
As the residents proudly celebrated the feat of success by taking out a "Gaurav Padayatra'' (Walk of Pride) for becoming ODF, Mayor Ananta Narayan Jena and Bhubaneswar (Central) MLA Bijay Kumar Mohanty joined them recognising their efforts towards making a cleaner city environment. Among others, Deepak Routrai, GM (Operations), BSCL, Binaya Kumar Dash, Zonal Dy. Commissioner (South East), BMC, Santosh K Mishra, OSD, BSCL and ward councillor Mamata Sahoo along with officials of city agencies, Feedback Foundation were present in this Gaurav Padayatra.
During the brief interactive programme after the walk of pride, the residents of the slum shared their experience and journey towards attaining ODF status. Mayor Ananta Narayan Jena appreciated the efforts off the "Nigrani'' or surveillance committee, which kept a tight vigil for curbing open defecation in the slum braving the odds of heavy rains and hardships. MLA Bijaya Mohanty lauded the combined efforts put together by all to set an example for other slums across the smart district area. He also advised them to campaign in nearby slums in helping them become ODF in quick time. Taking pride in the success of the slum residents, Ward Councillor Mamata Sahoo recounted her experience during triggering activity in the slum and said that she never expected that the feat will be achieved in such a short span of time.
It can be mentioned here that the Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL) in association with Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation has taken up an effective strategy to end open defecation and has engaged Feedback Foundation to make all the 24 slums in the entire BTCD area Open Defecation Free (ODF). So far, nine slums in the BTCD area have become ODF while few others are expected to attain the feat in near future.

Valentine's Day: A 14-Point Meditation on Love & Other Fiery Monsters
Sayantani Dasgupta
June 5, 2018 /in Creative Nonfiction, Everyday Chimeras /by Cammie Finch
1. My husband and I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day. If we remember the date, we might splurge on chocolates or a nice meal at a restaurant (usually, breakfast or lunch because dinner reservations for that night must be made five months in advance, which neither of us remembers to do, plus it costs as much as the blood of a baby unicorn). If, however, Valentine's Day falls on a weekend, we make the 75-minute drive to our nearest big city of Spokane, WA, from our current hometown of Moscow, ID. We check ourselves into a nice hotel downtown, the Spokane Club, which began its life in 1890 as a historic "gentlemen's club." The first such clubs were set up in 18th century Britain by upper class men and they were not accommodating in the least when it came to the gender, race, or social status of their members. Meaning, back when it opened its doors, neither my husband nor I would have been admitted inside Spokane Club on account of our race, and in my case, also because of my gender. Which is why, when we stroll through its august corridors, I imagine the ghosts of all those long-dead white men staring down at us from sepia photographs and oil paintings. "Look at those monsters," I imagine them hissing, as they fume at our insolence, at our metaphorical middle fingers pointed toward them, at the loss of everything that was once good and pure and right.
2. The year I turned twenty, I wrote an article about Valentine's Day. From my pulpit of recently gained adulthood and heightened righteousness, I called it silly and pointless. To my absolute delight, one of the biggest dailies in the country, The Pioneer, published it in their New Delhi edition. The morning it came out, I dutifully scanned it and emailed it to my then boyfriend, a PhD student at Ohio State University. He loved it and emailed me a dozen sappy e-cards. I bristled a tiny bit at the irony and my own hypocrisy, but I loved them all because at age twenty, that romance felt real and everlasting.
3. In India, Valentine's Day wasn't a thing when I was a kid. Sure, it was still the country of the Taj Mahal and the Kama Sutra, but in cinema as in real life, romance often assumed prudish forms. For example, in the Hindi films of the 1950s and '60s, two flowers playfully smacking into one another meant, well, you know what. In later decades, seduction played out on the screen against the backdrop of heavy rains and a smoldering fire-pit in the room, forest, or barn, wherever the boy and girl happened to be. This fire-pit was everything. Either the boy and girl chased each other around it, or they danced facing it or the camera zoomed into the orange-red flames indicating that all manners of love were about to be consummated.
4. But the mid 1990's changed it all. I was a teenager when India opened its doors to economic liberalization. Now we all wanted to be cooler and hipper, meaning… American. And that's how Valentine's Day entered our lives, and each year it grew a little bit bigger. The first casualties were the roses. They popped up, juicy, fat, and red, ready for sale at street corners and traffic lights, inside shiny new malls, outside multiplex theaters, and at the grocer's next to the egg cartons. It was as if we'd let red roses take over our city and shame the other flowers to admit defeat and close in on themselves.
5. Or did it begin with the cards? In New Delhi, if your boyfriend didn't buy you a card from Archie's, the stationery and gift store with multiple locations all over the city, he didn't love you enough. If the card was just regular-sized, he loved you just so. But, if it was five times the size of your head, he was going to love you forever.
6. There were also the balloons—lots and lots of them, red, upbeat, and always, heart-shaped.
7. In addition to the cards, the roses, and the balloons, what if your boyfriend also bought you a teddy bear? There was only one answer to this question. This man was a keeper.
8. Because Valentine's Day was such a small thing to begin with, the first protests against it were also on a proportionate scale. They claimed such open displays of affection were evil Western imports that were destroying Indian values, specifically Hindu values, as if values are tangible like dry leaves on a fall day, rakeable and tossable into a fire. Today, however, in a country of more than one billion, these protests are neither small nor a laughing matter.
9. Most often, the protestors are saffron-robed men. Saffron, because it's the color deemed sacred by Hindus. It pays homage to the sun and to Agni, the God of Fire. To a good Hindu, Fire is everything. It represents virtues such as honor and sacrifice. It marries us to our partners. It cremates us at the end. Its flames carry our prayers to the heavens. For the protestors, however, it aligns them to extremist, right-wing political parties.
9a. On the morning of February 14th, if they are mildly annoyed with life, they burn cards and tear down celebratory banners.
9b. If they are more peeved than that, they attack flower shops and trample meticulously arranged bouquets beneath their feet.
9c. If they haven't slept well for a few nights in a row, they fan out in search of couples in public places. They accuse them of shaming the country, of dishonoring their respective families, parents, culture, community, and everything else in between.
9d. If they lead truly shitty lives themselves, they vandalize restaurants that seek to profit from this Day of National Shame (Special Valentine's Day Dinner! Couples Get One Free Appetizer or Dessert of Their Choice!). They break windows and furniture, throw out celebrating couples, and sometimes carry out their threats of bodily harm.
10. Each year, I read about these protests. Each year, I wonder, how have these protestors lived until now without knowing about the Sun Temple of Konark? Built in the 13th century in the eastern corner of India, the Sun Temple is counted today as a World Heritage Site. But its antiquity alone does not make it unique. It's what's on its walls: detailed, lavish carvings of couples in passionate kisses, embraces, and more, inspired by the Kama Sutra, itself written in 2nd century India.
11. I wonder how these protestors claim to be "expert" Hindus without knowing about Kamadeva, Hinduism's own God of Love? Like Cupid, Kamadeva too wields a bow. His is made of sugarcane and the string is composed of honeybees. His arrows are ornamented with five different kinds of flowers—Ashoka, blue lotus, white lotus, jasmine, and mango. He prefers the colors yellow and green, symbolic as they are of spring. When he strikes men and women with his special arrows, they have no option but to fall in love.
12. Back in Spokane, or Moscow, or anywhere else in America I happen to be on February 14, I hear about gifts and cards schoolchildren exchange inside classrooms. I see magazine covers promising life-changing wisdom, such as "33 Ways to Capture Your Man's Heart and More." I walk past store windows gloriously done up in pink and red, all trussed up for the occasion before they too must accept defeat, and fold in on themselves to make room for the green of St. Patrick's Day.
13. But not once do I pause my celebrations (or the lack thereof) to worry about hapless threatened couples in India.
14. It is only the next morning, while reading The Times of India that I remember them, when I come across headlines such as "Fourteen Cities in India to Celebrate Valentine's Day: Arranged from Least Safe to Most Safe." I look at pictures of destroyed property, of massive bonfires devouring red-hearted cards, of angry mobs shouting slogans and holding up puny flags to save a three-thousand-year-old faith, as if it needs their saving. I see girls hiding their faces behind scarves to avoid being captured on camera, and the hunched shoulders of their boyfriends accepting what I assume is a mix of shame and resignation. I wonder why these girls and boys set out to celebrate Valentine's Day in the first place? Why do they leave the security of their homes, knowing full well they are courting harassment and far worse? Do they do so to be modern Romeos and Juliets and celebrate love for love's sake? Because they foolishly believe they will be allowed to be themselves in their own city and country? Or do they thrill in being monstrously insolent, in sticking metaphorical middle fingers to all those saffron-robed men lamenting the loss of everything that was once good and pure and right?

If the raw honey you find is solid at room temperature, warm it in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat to bring it back to a liquid state before using for this recipe. You can drizzle this honey over pepperoni pizza (trust!), serve alongside spicy fried chicken, use in a glaze for grilled pork or fish, and/or add a few spoonfuls to savory cornbread.
Place garlic in jar. Pour honey over garlic and stir to combine, making sure all the garlic gets coated. Seal jar and let sit at room temperature 3 days. Unscrew and remove lid to let out any gases; give garlic honey a stir. (You'll most likely see tiny bubbles at this stage, which means the fermentation process has started). Reseal jar and let sit, stirring once every other day, at least 1 week before using.
Garlic honey can be made 1 month ahead. Keep room temperature.
